Hi everyone

This is how to unlock and install TWRP (root too) the Huawei Honor 2

The root in this process is a partial root....since Xposed and some other root features wont work because the stock Jb roms are odexed.

Warning...this process was not tested on B8xx aka emui 2.0 firmwares

It will succesfully work on :

B1xx

B5xx

B7xx

Also....you cannot flash official firmwares with unlocked bootloader...so you need to relock it in oreder to reflash a rom with dload mod

Check "HOW TO LOCK/RELOCK BOOTLOADER" bellow

So first :

IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE

COMPLETLY DESTROYED YOUR SD CARD

OR SIM CARDS NOT WORKING

....Do this at your own risk

Links Bellow.

1/Unlock Bootloader

First you need the flash tool : Here (not my tool...only sharing)

You will also need the usb drivers. You can install Hisuit and it will automatilcally install the drivers you need.

When everything is ready...enable Usb debugging on your phone

Connect the device to your pc via usb and run the tool.

---Select option 1 (so insert 1 and press enter) to install the new fastboot partition, which is able to unlock your device if you install an unsigned kernel / recovery.

---Select option 2 if you haven’t enabled usb debugging, or if you have previously flashed an unsigned partition and now your device isn’t booting.

---Select option 3 to flash a custom kernel you have previously renamed to boot.img and put on your desktop. Do NOT use dd dumps : which means do NOT use boot.img you can find in flashable rom zips.

---Select option 4 to flash a custom recovery you have previously renamed to recovery.img and put on your desktop. Do NOT use dd dumps neither here.

---Select option 5 to check if bootloader is locked, unlocked or relocked.

Congratulation...your phone is unlocked !

2/INSTALL TWRP AND ROOT

TWRP Recovery : Gdrive

Alternative TWRP Recovery : Gdrive ( Use Ctrl + S) to download and keep them in the same folder

Now after unlocking the bootloader close the unlocktool and reboot the phone in fastboot mode

After that :

1/ IF you used the first link recovery Rename the file to recovery.img ...put it on the same folder and use the unlocking tool to flash it

2/ IF you used the 2nd link (Alternative recovery) you can just run flash.bat and it will do the work

after installing recovery :

go to wipe menu...then advanced and wipe only dalvik cache

now reboot

if your phone is rooted choose do NOT root and reboot

if yours is not rooted :

hit reboot button and the phone will install the root....now all you need to do is to update supersu from the playstore

DONE

HOW TO “RELOCK” BOOTLOADER

After your bootloader status is “unlocked”, if you want to flash a stock rom with dload method , you need to flash chinese recovery (not another one), then flash any of batty86 roms (or any other rom with both boot.img and reserved.img), let the device boot at least once, and the bootloader will be “relocked”; then you can install the original recovery and use the dload method again.
