Hey everyone, think its a bit sad that we dont got our own phone section since ShotX/7i and the regular 7 doesnt share the same cpu architecture so forgive me for cluttering down but just wanted to try and help our fellow honor comrades
The files to do this is taken from the chinese huawei forum (http://club.huawei.com/thread-5761110-1-1.html) and thus I take no credit for the files, im merely making a english guide with chinese files to hopefully spur some development.
The root itself was made for Honor 7i which is the asian market version (I believe?) but ShotX is the same phone but for international market (with LTE 800Mhz band, not sure if there are any other differences) and root was performed and confirmed working by me on my ShotX with Lollipop 5.1.1/B130 firmware so no guarantes if it will work on other firmwares. Im also not responsible if you brick your phone or it catches on fire etc.
First you need to unlock your bootloader
and to do so you will first need to turn on the "allow bootloader oem unlock" so enter settings, about phone, and then press build number 10 times to activate "developer mode".
Go back one step into main settings and the open developer settings, find and enable "allow bootloader oem unlock" (if you have fingerprint or any other code activated then it will ask you for that code) and while you are in here make sure to click "enable usb debugging" aswell.
You will also need a bootloader unlock code from huaweis site by filling out the necessary information on this page http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
Product model: HUAWEI ATH-UL01 (settings->about phone->model number)
Product serial number: EGQ7Nxxxxxxxxxxx (settings->about phone->Status->Serial number)
Product IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (*#06# IMEI1 or settings->about phone->Status->IMEI1)
Product ID: xxxxxxxx (*#*#1357946#*#*)
So once youve got the code, make sure to write it down on a safe place, next you need adb toolkit. May I recommend Minimal ADB? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Now when you´ve come this far, remember that as soon as you unlock your bootloader, the phone will factory reset and you will loose any data and settings made unless you make a backup before
Insert usb data cable into pc and phone, open command prompt and be in your adb installation directory.
Start with typing "adb devices" to see if your phone is detected and make sure to check on your phone when it asks for permission that you allow your pc. I was running windows 10 x64 when I rooted my phone and I didnt need any driver but your mileage may vary if on w7 or w8. Remember to use "adb kill-server" if you experience issues when trying to connect phone with adb.
If phone is detected then you should get something like
Code:
EGQ7Nxxxxxxxxxxx device
Then all is good and you can type
adb reboot bootloader
Now to check if phone still is with us you type
fastboot devices and you should see something like
Code:
8b0dd496 fastboot
If you are still with us then type fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx where the xxxx´es represent your bootloader unlock code which you should have retrieved earlier from huaweis site.
To confirm that your bootloader is unlocked, simply type fastboot oem get-bootinfo and you should see
Code:
(bootloader) Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED
Congrats! Now youre ready to root the phone
If you recently unlocked bootloader then you need to activate developer settings again and turn on usb debugging aswell.
Download the files below
https://mega.nz/#!BsQiiYpL!xVwbyHTRsVGFsO6LpJacxP64gFrOlCNTRHTI1-vdLLw TWRP install program
https://mega.nz/#!9hQi2I7A!JX121sJ2vChMuxrx1puxf-L1rP9LSPaJW-JnqvEAzIg Root
Put the EMUI3.1 Android 5.1 ROOT补丁（不要双清不要解压.zip file somewhere on your phones memory storage where you can find it.
Unzip the 荣耀7i TWRP recovery.zip and open it up and then you press the second button which says TWRP REC and it should flash twrp. Power off phone and then press vol+ and power where you keep pressing vol+ but let go off power as soon as screen is lit and you should be in recovery in a bit. If you still got the default huawei recovery then redo the procedure (I pressed TWRP REC at first but didnt see any twrp installed so I then just pressed REC just to be disapointed again but 3rd time with TWRP REC it worked so not sure what goes on but just so you know if you also fail to get TWRP installed)
Once youre in twrp you will be greeted with chinese again but buttons are located on same spots so just compare it to a english twrp image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWRP#/media/File:TWRP_2.7.0.0.png
Just press top left button and select the root file you should have putted on your phone earlier and flash it, when its done just hold the physical power button to reset incase you´re unsure of the reboot button and you should be good to go
Grats on your rooted phone, after some cleanup (possible with root) this phone is flying like never before
Some highly recommended root apps
Rom toolbox lite, so you can flash roms/mods without knowing your way in the chinese twrp and uninstall apps etc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=sv
Kernel adiutor, great for getting a bit more performance out of the phone by tweaking cpu and gpu speed
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=sv
And lastly the great snapdragon camera which is pretty fast and nice to use which you need to flash in twrp (or with rom toolbox)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64410821&postcount=44
Its for one+ x but it works as expected for our ShotX/7i aswell (Obvisually dont use this if youre on a regular Honor 7 device since it doesnt have snapdragon processor)
thank you very much , I'll be trying my XShot
Theres a translated twrp now for those that wants

Did you tried russian forums? 4pda or others, often they have good devs there for some devices,which are not supported here on XDA.
Anyone who can't get to bootloader unlock site after login. Follow this [GUIDE] :

This helped me. Hope you also get the help.

Is there any solution for ShotX with android 6.0?
Please upload android 6.0.1 rooted room
Hi,
I know this subject had already been trated, but I just can't find a valid solution for my specific problem.
I have a P8 Lite with number ALE-L21C109B170
According to what I rode, it seems to be a spanish version.
I tried to download the android 6.0 firmware from huawei site, single-sim, but I had the software install problem. Seems that I have to be on another build to be able to do that.
I also tried to download HiCare, and no matter which country I try, when I hit check for updates, I'm always up to date.
I tried to download adb minimal fastboot, but I'm just unable to boot my phone into fastboot (using volume down and power). I managed to do it one time, it showed that my phone was blocked, and asked me to plug it onto my computer. I did that while launching on my computer the app, but nothing happened. And now I just can't go back to fastboot mode, everytime I try it just boot normaly.
I'm a little bit confuse with all these build version, if someone could help me.
Thank you for enlightments
You should install this firmware which is specific to your carrier and dual sim model.

Hello,
I am from Greece and Ive bought from Vodafone a Huawei P9 lite vns-l21 before one month. Ive installed the nougat rom 370 with firmware finder but I made a mistake choozing the NRD-90M test key. So I begun to roll back to Marshmallow. Everything ok. Then Itried to install an other rom from firmware finder(i think C432b371) and again NRD-90M test key...
Again roll back to Marshmallow...so in the first step when i was trying to install with dload method the Huawei P9 Lite Rollback Package For L21C432 (EU) my phone stucked on boot loop but I had fastboot. Then I have unlocked the bootloader to see if there is anything that i can do with srk tool and now i have a beautifull bricked phone stuck :
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.
you device is booting now"
In this point nothing happens, I can not go to fast boot, No recovery mode, The hardware keys not doing anything, only resetting the phone in loop..
I dont know what to do and Huawei wants 215euro to fix my phone.
My mistake I know but is there enything that i can do know? Its a new phone!
Sorry for my english
I would suggest getting an sdcard and creating a dload folder inside, then putting an official rom UPDATE.APP file inside the dload folder and try 3button method

As far as I understand, you can't even power off your device which is a problem since the 3button method won't work if you can't power off the device.

Hmm I dont get why they want 215 euro to exchange the storage chip.
I guess your phone is pretty much a brick now have fun. Lol sry
I had a similar problem with the boot-loop.
Press PowerOff until the screen goes black, and then immediately leave power-off and press Power Off + Volume Up for ever until the phone boots normally.
That's what I did and worked for me.
Can you boot to fastboot, if you can you can recover it with DC-Phoenix tool.

No he cant, I have the same problem. Cant fastboot, adb or 3 button method. Even tried unplugging battery then doing 3 button method.
Anyone sopve this problem with no fastboot no recovery no 3 buttons mode?
try to drain the battery, keep screen on, or keep phone on until battery is 0%, you can't turn it on . keep volume down and power pressed, plug usb to pc , if you're lucky fastboot could be ok
Hi there, I also managed to brick my P9Lite - no recovery, no fastboot. After draining the battery completly the phone starts fine but I can't install system updates. I guess I have to live with that. Unfortunately I can't activate bluetooth. Does anyone has an idea how to get bluetooth working again?
idk for your BT issue , but did you try Firmware Finder for Huawei ? easy to use, you will probably able to dl an update. don't use "small " package OTA, use full firmware, about1.6 or 1.8 Go, may could fix your BT.

didn't work out as Firmware Finder is only another way to find a firmware but not another way to install the firmware...
Hello guys,
sorry if i write this but i think necessary to grab best helps..
Try to describe problem in detail (ex. - i was upgrading/downgrading from..........to............ firmware and it bricks, etc...)
Your latest working phone/system/firmware (ex. - mine was VNS-L31C432B381-before i upgraded to EliteRom).
Some information changes according to the country / region of the world in which you live,
so they are useful for those who help you to redirect to the correct thread / give right suggestions...
All the best guyz
didn't work out as Firmware Finder is only another way to find a firmware but not another way to install the firmware...
Yes , a way to get last firmware, or firmware you want through the huawei update app. Without firmware finder ,no way to " force" huawei update app to install anything you want on your device
Sorry for the late response, I'm reading the thread right now. Firmware Finder can also be used to install firmware through eRecovery. Install Firmware Finder for Windows: http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/v2/GetLatestVersion.action
You need to write down your existing and change both DNS addresses in your router to: 81.177.139.39
You also need to deactivate IPv6 protocol.
Open FirmwareFinderRewrite.exe, go to "common base" and search VNS-LXXCXXX (Your model and customization). Copy the link in "changelog" not of the newest, but of the 2nd or 3rd youngest firmware. Check if it has been approved by pasting the link under the tab with the checkmark (5th position counting from left). If the response is "This firmware was approved to install" you are ready to go.
Copy the same link in the proxy field (the cloud symbol, 4th position counting from left). Click on "set" and "register update".
Now switch off your phone, press "Vol+" and simultaneously connect it to the PC. You enter eRecovery now. Tap on "Download latest version and recovery". Your phone should start the download now, after a couple percent you can reset your router settings, the download will continue. If all is well, the firmware will then be installed.
Hi,
I bought my LG G4 ages ago, it used to be my primary phone but I changed a year later. At the moment my mother has broken her own phone and has no phone during this lockdown period, I tried grabbing my LG G4 to give but remembered I rooted it and caused some sort of problem down the line.
The issue is: Whenever I try power the device on it goes straight into the "Firmware Update" screen, and inside the box says 633A B31 and "Modified" at the bottom. The device does not boot into recovery or anything else, even though I vaguely remember installing TWRP when I rooted it.
I looked up ways to fix it, but i encountered the following issues:
-When trying to flash the stock H815 Europe KDZ the LG flash tool just presents a load of question marks instead of text and refuses to work.
-When I type in "adb devices" the device simply does not show up under List of devices attached.
I am stuck, and am looking for a hand if anyone knows how to help me, or at least let me know that my device is beyond fixable. There are some signs of life from it, when I plug it into my PC it makes the windows beeping noise, that's about it. I'd just love to be able to give it to my mother because I feel bad for her during this lockdown period where she is left without a phone.
I have screenshots on my PC with all the device info: IMEI, Software version etc. If that is of any use.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jay
You have hard-bricked your phone, maybe because you have tried to downgrade from N to MM. But don't worry, that happened to me too.
You have to unbrick your phone through QFIL: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-proper-h815-unbrick-qfil-files-t3709212
Then, try again with LGUP and enjoy again your phone
I reccomend this kdz: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/15132/H81520q_00_0509
That's the latest MM kdz before Nougat. It'll work on your H815 regardless of your country.
Remember also that this is only for non-UsU devices, as the download mode is not working since you patch UsU.

Thank you so much for the quick response! One thing I've just noticed is my device comes up in LGUP, but never lets me flash stock KDZ just stops at 20% with a "invalid command response error".
I visited the guide you sent, downloaded all the software and tried booting into 9008 mode. Would it be possible for you to explain this method further? My device is taken apart but I have no idea where I'm messing with on the motherboard. I've looked around but I don't understand anything.
Thanks,
Jay
You might not need to do QFIL if you weren't at v29a (the Nougat beta for our h815). LGUP will tell you in which version you are when it recognises your phone (LGH815V2XX).
Here I attach you the latest version of LGUP: https://mega.nz/#F!0wIUVIRI!zmETMswxSrEA7qjkH4rd_A
It has all the necessary stuff for the flash.
The folder which says LGUP error fix contains an dll which you have to paste in the LG program folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8994\) in order to fix your problem.
Finally, ensure that you tick the REFURBISH option in LGUP.
PLZ help me .. I am stuck
I have a middle east version of android oreo
Lg wont update this version into android 9
So i asked the admin of lg firmwares which kdz file is appropriate for my version .. He said anyone will work on your phone so i chose the indian kdz
Now i followed the steps of how to flash using lgup and uppercut
Everything thing went fine .. It reached 100% completed and then when it restarted it got stuck on startup logo
What should i do plz??
I dont have a back up for my phone contents?
What should i do
Plz help
Note ;it didnt show the screen of upgrading the apps that usually show after using ota upgrades
Edit 1; i managed to return back to download mode
And entered lg bridge ..it said i have to fee up some space ?? How can i do that while i am o download mode ?
Try factory-resetting your phone. Also, I'm pretty sure you have to use the kdz corresponding to your carrier, even if it is unlocked.
