Hey guys. I registered here a while ago, but this is my first post.
I recently updated my Huawei P8 Lite (ALE-L04) to lollipop. Anyways, I want to unlock the bootloader and root my phone, but to even start that I need drivers for my computer to detect my phone. I tried installing HiSuite and it couldn't detect my phone. Can anyone provide me some links on where to download the proper drivers for my computer to be able to detect my phone please? As far as unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone, I think I can do that part (Huawei has a tutorial for it I think). Any help would be great. Thanks!
hi, try with the universal adb driver.

Thank you very much guys. I unlocked the bootloader for my phone now. Huawei only provided the tutorial for unlocking the bootloader.
I tried the rooting method for ALE-L21, but that doesn't work for ALE-L04. On one of the steps where it says I should be in a black screen recovery mode (no GUI), I get a white screen recovery asking me to connect my phone to my computer and run HiSuite. I did search around (not too deep) and couldn't find a solid method of rooting for the ALE-L04.

kingroot only works on 4.4.4, for 5.1 you have to flash supersu through TWRP
I've tried Kingo Root and it failed (before knowing that it doesn't support lollipop).
And I tried rooting my phone using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/step-step-guide-to-unlock-bootloader-t3150616
I read your assertion that "I upgraded my P8 ALE-L04 to Android Lollipop (6.0?)..."
I want to do that too, but I don't know how? Can you help me please?

hi，friend，can you backup qcn send me？
Hi everyone, first message here, and not for the best..
Here's the story.
Yesterday evening, I tried to install Xposed Framework, but I was stuck in a boot loop (even when I tried to uninstall it), so I "dirty" flashed a Nougat build on my device. Phone was back alive, despite a bug from the mobile data.
Today, I had to restart my phone because of this issue, but now, my phone is somehow bricked. Bootloader is relocked (I dont know how the **** it happened), so I can't do anything, as the phone is stuck on a bootloop, and I don't have TWRP anymore. I tried fastboot, but nothing is working on it. Even VNS Toolkit is no use. I tried a force update with the UPDATE.APP, but I'm still in a bootloop.
So, tl;dr, phone bricked, bootloader locked, no recovery, and no code to unlock my bootloader.
Please XDA people, help me !!
You should try to get your unlock code and unlock your bootloader again, you can find the informations of the phone on the original box.
DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL XPOSED ON NOUGAT, there is still no Xposed version for nougat.
It was Xposed for MM, so after my fail, I decided to update to N.
On the box, I have IMEI1 and IMEI2, and the SN. But I don't have the "PIN" verification code (you can only get it via HMI code..) So I think I'll never be able to unlock my BL :/
I had the same issue lost my bootloader unlock code but there is another way to get bootloader unlock code: DC unlocker
Just follow instructions on there site for p9 lite
On the tool set the manufacturer to "huawei phones" not modems. I made that mistake too first
You need to buy 4 credits to unlock = 4 euros so the tool is not free
Good luck
Email huawei to get your unlock code. It's free!
Just send an email to them

Ok bro you want a lolly now? It's a sillicon lotery you were lucky thats all
I dont earn anything with this btw just helping for alternatives bcause some people cant afford waiting for huawei mail if there phone is bricked
Hi everyone, quick update.
I tried to get my BL unlock code from Huawei, but they wanted my Product ID (how nice of them..)
DC-Unlocker is no use for me, as I only could boot into fastboot.
My service provider helped me a lot, and told me to wipe data/factory reset via the Vol+/Power button method. Somehow, it kinda worked, because now the phone is booting, I have the configuration running, selecting language, region, Wifi, but after Wifi+ option, I have the "Checking Info" window, but it crash, and goes back to Wifi+ config.
So now, I'm stuck here...
UPDATE 2:
I managed to get my BL unlock code !!
But now, fastboot is not letting me unlock it (fastboot: command not allowed.) I'm desperate !! Any reasons why ?
UP3:
Phone is FRP Locked, I'm pretty sure I can't go further because of this
Fastboot wont work bcause you havent enabled usb debugging mode and you cant enable bcause you cant boot in the rom
Have you tried the 336 nougat update.app?

If a official update failed you should use your warranty.
Now that you unlocked your bootloader your warranty is #[email protected]#&*.
You could try fixing it using the dload method.
I will link you to the tread because i personally didn't ever need to use it.
I don't recommend flashing a custom rom if you are inexperienced (I'm talking about Huawei phones; they are really easy to hard brick).
But in case you are interested in flashing a custom rom i would recommend cyanogen mod 13 beta because it is pretty stable and the only bug is that you can't record videos in some apps (Snapchat, Instagram...).

I wanted to lock my bootloader and got same error message so what I did was rolled back to b30 than downloaded the latest update b161.
And unzipped the folder took the update.app from the file put it in new folder in SD card called dload and turned it off and held the three buttons in till the updater began. I hated that safety message that came up each time turned on phone. Now have relocked bootloader and newest update
Hey all... My build NR is VNS-L31C16B134. I cannot handle being stuck on Android 6.0 and EMUI4.1.3. I've tried pretty much everything I know to update to Android 7.0 or at least update EMUI to 5.0 but no luck... Any suggestions? .please!!!!!

You can not do anything with these files.
They are only for Dc Phoenix and without an account and without paying you can not even open the program.
You can not extract the files anyhow.
You do not have to pay for the fun and it works only if you pay.

Wow...
$18.00 seems like a fair price to pay if your device is bricked...
But I'm at a loss as to why someone would pay this toll just to go stock to get the Oreo update or Facial Recognition release..
I'm sure those that Rooted, had a reason to Root..
But what the hell do I know!...
Good Find... And Good Luck! :good:

Something Is Better Than Nothing...
If soemone is bricked.. they are bricked.. so, this is their only course of action.
In most cases, I'd prefer not to stay stock... I purchased this device with the intent to root right out of the box.
But to what end?
I had no idea the 7X had a theme engine :good: you can hide any unwanted apps from user 0 thru ADB and there are enough battery saving options to not need something like Greenify.. You can even change the DPI. I know everyone is different.. and YMMV depending how deep one is into Xposed, Viper etc.. But I think the Pros outweigh the Cons to stay stock ( at least for now ) and let Huawei keep feeding the 7X all these upcoming goodies!

Hi, Please answer this!!
I have Honor 7x (BND AL10C675-India) In order to go completely stock, I flashed stock recovery, relocked bootloader and prepared for the dload method by downloading the full update.app file from firmware finder but it always fails at 5%.
Now, I can't restore my twrp or unlock bootloader although I have the code because the frp lock is there and I need to "enable OEM unlock" from settings but I can't boot into system as it totally wiped out the system so basically I locked my self out of all options.
This sounds like a ray of hope. Does this work on my phone? cos, after spending 18$ if it doesn't , I will be screwed like crazy. Do they have refund if it doesn't work or something like that?

there is B124 version as a service rom . Posted on 4pda.ru
but not allowed to post links to other forums. It is xda rule. Sorry
so this is not a link. Hope i dont get mod-edited or anything
h**ps://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=879524&st=1000#entry73818595
So the B124 is a service ROM? When I got my 7x it was on B101 or so. As soon as turned on within minutes got notification about update. So did update and at the end it said "You was successfully rolled back to Nougat". Checked the version and it is B124 and stuck on it since. No update available, despite FF shows at least one approved update (I think it's the B330). My phone is dual SIM, so think will be stuck on nougat for a good while...
Thanks, but I have returned it to amazon!
Also stucked on ancient b101.

In other posts there is procedure , for device with bootloader unlocked with unofficial method, for look and unlook officially, but is confused and in other arguments.
Is possible have this post for this argument, with clear guide , because I think is important question.
This maybe procedure:
1. miflash to official China Beta rom first. Flash without relock.
1b. Download from PC VPN app, install on phone and set connection to China. Then you are able to active usb developer options
2. re-lock bootloader with official China Beta rom. Flash and relock.
3. unlock bootloader again with official China Beta rom. Need to tie up with Mi account and insert a SIM card. For me, need to wait for 720 hours before MM3 can be unlocked. I checked chinese miui forum. This apparently is a new requirement. One full month later. Gosh...
4. miflash to official Global rom and stop there.
5. Do not re-lock bootloader with official Global rom""
I don't try this procedure......
What's the point of looking the bootloader just to get it unlocked again after whatever hours waiting!?
Do you experience problems with the device being unlocked unofficialy? Or this is just another "good advice/info" coming from MIUI forums...
Be happy somebody already took care of that and enjoy the unlocked bootloader freedom you get.

The device comes unlocked but your Mi account has not permission to unlock this specific device because you never followed the official unlock procedure.
Xiaomi with its new policy does not let you use a Chinese version of a phone with a global rom and a locked bootloader. If you flash the global rom and for some reason the bootloader gets locked, your phone will stuck on the recovery with the following message "this miui version cannot be installed on this device", at this stage you must unlock the bootloader to be able to boot again, if the bootloader was unlocked officialy with you own account, you can use the mi unlock tool to unlock again and make the phone bootable, if the bootloader was unofficialy unlocked or unlocked by other account, in this case you can't unlock with the Mi unlock tool, you can't flash another rom since the bootloader is locked, you can't follow the official unlock procedure because you are stuck in recovery, the only solution is to use the test point method with EDL authorized account
Ok, I guess sounds reasonable for majority of the users.
But me personally? I could care less...
You can backup bootloader unlocked status and restore it if locked by accident...

I have seen some reports of bricked devices from people who tried to flash and lock, honestly, I do not know what went wrong in their case.

It requires either root or EDL or TWRP...
And no, EDL is not locked, it's not Xiaomi's feature to lock it, it's Qualcomm business... MiFlash is locked which is irrelevant... Who needs their stupid front end when you can use Qualcomm tools...

Users have been experimenting with older versions of MiFlash as well as Qualcomm's official flashing tool QFIL, but to no avail, they couldn't flash in EDL because the programs could not bypass the requirement for authentication.

I bought the MAX3 through Ali Express with "fake" global Rom, and open bootloader, however since the global ROM is officially released by Xiaomi so I was trying to flash it through XiaomiFalsh but, mistakenly, and unfortunately, I kept the tick mark on "clean all and lock" and now the phone is stuck on recovery, I called the service center of Xiaomi by they said since it is not officially announced in my country so it is not their baby and they asked me to contact the seller "who ali experess! no way!!"
guys who can help me to get out of this issue will be really appreciated, but keep in mind I'm not an expert.
awaiting your kindness

Apply for unlock bootloader here: https://en.miui.com/unlock/
Wait time is 720 hours. No other way around it. Sorry, buddy.

There is no way to apply for unlock without a bootable phone, He must go to Developer options -> Mi Unlock status -> Add account and device but this is not possible because the phone is stuck in recovery.
The only solution right now is to use the test-point method to flash the chinese rom.

Someone I helped fastboot flash China 8.8.9 mistakenly did this and was able to boot. Is Global rom entirely different in this situation?

Yes, it's different
chinese device + global rom + locked bootloader = stuck in recovery

Oh right, now I remember. This was that very big announcement. Completely forgot. Thanks for the reminder. Yes, then test point is the only option, unfortunately.
Again, this was why I urged people to steer clear of global and stick to Eu roms. More harm than good especially related to such situations (many new flashers accidentally locking bootloaders).

Thank you so much guys for your feedback, for now I have the flowing questions:
1- the phone is stuck in recovery mode, how I shutdown the phone.
2- If I wait for Xiaomi to launch MAX3 officially in y country do you think they will be able to help me even with charged service?
3- can any of you expert guys direct me to some useful link to see how do it use the test-point method.
4- If I succeeded to unlock the bootloader through the test-point method, is it mandatory to flash the Chinese version or I can flash global Rom and keep the bootloader unlocked.
thank you in advance for your time.

1. Hold power and volume down until boots to fastboot mode, leave it and it should turn off automatically after few seconds.
3. You can find some information scattered to the following threads

4. With the test-point method you can flash the chinese rom even if the bootloader is locked, after succesfully flashing the china rom you have to apply for official unlock, after getting the unlock permission you can flash global rom by leaving the bootloader unlocked.
XiaomiTool official page is proposing another solution but you need to wait for a global dev rom to be released and it is not guaranteed to work
If you get the message "this miui can't be installed on this device" and your device is bricked you might be able to recover it using xiaomiadb by first installing global developer and then installing china developer OF SAME VERSION (for example 8.8.16->8.8.16) using "xiaomiadb sideload_miui -otarom CurrentRom [ZIP_ROM_FILE]"

hello all, if someone can help me, i have my mi max3 with locked bootloader.
now i dont have any rom on it so trying to load a rom but getting an error ERASE is not allowed in locked state
what rom can i flash on it ?
tried to unlock bootloader via the tool, it gets stuck at 50% cannot verify phone.
had the same problem, was able to recover it with the test point method and flashing chinese rom, and switching to english language.
the procedure is described here:
https://androidfilebox.com/tips/edl-test-point-mode-redmi-note-4x/
the installation process of the qualcom drivers is special.
you have to open te backcover, which is very special too, dont forget to the 2 mini screws at the usb port and the drawer on the side . search and look on youtube.
look further, where the testpoints are on the mi max3
follow strictly the procedure, load and double extract the chinese rom for the mi max 3.
It is real work, and real danger that you break something mechanical, one shoud have a calm hand and a lot of patience, but for me all went good and the phone spang to live again.
Another solution could be this, but I have no experience with it:
