How I root this phone?
hi =) well you have 2 options... you can root it after unlock the bootloader, or root it without unlocking the bootloader. I think this firmware is rootable without the unlocking...
Unlocking bootloader is simply the way to free your phone to install customized roms (like cyanogenmod), and unfortunately SE phones comes with their boot locked.
SE itself provides instructions to unlock the bootloader, but once done, you will lose the DRM (digital rights manager) from trackid and other sony applications on your phone. I've researched the forum and found that there's a safe way to unlock the bootloader using SETool. You can contact Jinx13 here in the forum if you want to. It's a paid method, but at least you'll have an unlocked bl still with the DRM files.
Well, here are some links in the forum that will be useful for you:

And here a video of how the unlocking paid method is done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn-Vubgka1M
You might think that those testpoint stuff are crazy and dangerous, but they're simple. There are special methods to turn on your phone to your computer, as that one you have to keep the "back" button pressed while plug the USB. The testpoints are just like that..

I've learnt about veeeery easy way to obtain an unlock code without need to contact Huawei.
1. First of all you have to be rooted (via Kingroot or 360 root). Kingroot worked well for me.
2. You have to install HonorTuner (attached).
3. Launch HonorTuner, go to Hardware Info and check out numbers in WVLOCK. This is your unlock code!
People say it works. As for me I didn't unlock my bootloader yet, so I can't confirm. It would be nice if anyone with unlocked bootloader with unlock code from Huawei could check and say whether WVLOCK and Huawei unlock code are the same.
I don't understand the point of this! If this tool is only going to show the unlock code of that phone on which it is installed, how is it useful to others? Let's just say that my phone is rooted and I install this tool HonorTuner on my phone and I tell you that yes, the unlock code that it shows (for my phone) is the same as the one that I got from Huawei, how would it help to get the unlock code of YOUR device?
Unlocking bootloader is normally the first step before rooting so is there any point to this?
Or can you properly root it without unlocking the bootloader?
I personally wouldn't want my phone rooted without a custom recovery to back it up before changes so you should still unlock the bootloader first.

This is for people that want to unlock their bootloader but don't want to spend days and days waiting for huawei to send their unlock codes. Just root with kingroot, and install the app.
PD: I also confirm it works
Sent from my Mate

Thanks man, this saved my life and my h*as !!!
My Mate 7 was stack in bootloop at Huawei logo, due to a wrond (bul****) procedure I fount and followed on the web.
Recovery was lost and bootloader was FAULTY unlocked (it really was still locked)
I rooted the phone, installed your APK and then obtained the BL unlock code.
Then everithing was easy and the Mate returned alive.
Therefore thanks for your suggestion and to have saved my Mate 7 life !!!
Cheres !!!

Some Huawei ROMs have the tendency to re-lock the bootloader after a while, has happened to mine a few times already.

Hello,
I have a brand new TA-1116, on Android One 10.
Of course i'd love to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root it.
It's unclear for me what i should do:
1) downgrade to DRG237B firmware (Anyone can confirm my TA1116 can use this downgrade without risk ?) to go to Orea 8.1
2) order an unlock code (where, please ? i found unlocklocks.com but i don't see the price).
3) go into dev mode to toggle unlock bootloader (mandatory ?)
4) fastboot flash unlock <my_unlock_file>
5) install TWRP fastboot flash recovery <twrp latest>
6) flash magisk from twrp for systemless root
Any advice is welcome
If you can root without Magisk, i'd like too. I need to run titanium backup and get rid of that BABE app (??? wtf Nokia ???) and more apps i don't need.
Thank you VM !
Answer: the downgrade is not possible without unlocked BL.
The unlock service does not need to go back to 07/2018, it is a matter of minutes and everything is left unlocked. Yay !

Hello,
I am very happy when seeing this post. Can you help me to unlock bootloader & root for the Nokia 6.1 plus TA-1116.
My last security patch is 2020-07
Thanks,
Bootloader unlock isn't officially or in a free manner supported, it's a paid service, join the telegram community for the device there are bl unlockers for different time zones contact anyone with your timezone for the service it's approx $6-7
Do not hover over random sites there's been only one site from the beginning that I can't mention here, bootloader unlock and other services, get this job done over telegram and save yourself the hassle.
I want to update a G7-L01 to android 6. So I need to unlock the bootloader but Huawei has stopped the service to send the unlock code.
I there a different way to unload the bootloader? I have read something about a dc-unlocker2client, it is commercial, but is this the right way to unlock?
Yes it is one of the ways, I recommend seeing this article about it first. Just so you know it's costly and not for free and no matter what cracked program you find there it's probably not gonna work.
Hi, new here.
I'm looking to unlock the bootloader and Root the y625-u51. Tried all the one click apps available without results. Passing to a manual try. My question: Since Huawey stoped to offer codes how do I get the bootloader unlocked. And then how to Root from there. Thanks if you can help.
