[Honor 4x][Che1-L04]{might work for others too} Bootloader Unlock & Recovery flash

This has been reported working for Che1-L04 and Che2-L11 models. If you have a different device than these two then please try this method and report back on comments so I can update on which devices this work. I waited two months for a bootloader unlock code from Huawei. Then posted on facebook pages of Huawei and Honor about not getting it. Then I got it myself some days ago without much hassle. Here's how I did it:

Opening Huawei Account:

1. Go to http://hwid1.vmall.com/oauth2/porta...hp&viewType=1&isDialog=0&themeName=cloudTheme

2. Select Register for Free>>.

3. Select Register Email Address and open an account. Then Log in using your email, password using the link from step 1.

Getting unlock code:

1. Go to http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=unlock&action=apply

2. Then you'll find a page where there'll be lots of Chinese text with a checkmark below. Check it and click the button below.

3. You'll be on the unlock page now.

4. Select the second option from the first box.

5. Select the first option from second box.

6. In the third field put your Serial Number. (Can be found written on the battery)

7. In the fourth field put your IMEI. (Can be found dialing *#06# on the dialer. Only the first one is needed)

8. In the fifth field put the code as shown in the image.

9. Click the blue button below all fields.

10. If failed put the image code and retry. It gets done in about two to three tries.

You will now have the 16 digit bootloader unlock code. Save it somewhere.

Unlock process:

After this process the phone resets itself to factory settings and all apps data etc are removed. If you want to have them, backup beforehand to SD card using Huawei's Backup app.

1. Set up ADB and Fastboot from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118.

2. Turn off your phone. Connect to PC while holding volume down button release after there's a vibration feedback.

3. Open CMD in your fastboot location. Type and Enter "fastboot devices" (without quotation). If it returns a code with your device then it's connected.

4. Type and Enter "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" (without quotation where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the code you got from huawei site).

Bootloader should be unlocked. And the phone will now proceed to factory reset it. All your data will be erased from phone storage.

Recovery flash:

1. Download recovery from http://xdaforums.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3199386.

2. Put it in your adb/fastboot folder.

3. Connect your phone in fastboot mode again. Turn off>>hold volume down button and connect to PC>>Release button upon vibration.

4. Check by running "fastboot devices" again.

5. Now type and enter "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img" (without quotation and recoveryname.img should be the recovery you downloaded and it should be in the folder where adb and fastboot is. In our case that should be "fastboot flash recovery twrp2.8.7.0_cherry_en_f2fs.img")

Recovery should now be flashed and ready for action. Please give your reaction on the poll only if you've done all the necessary steps.

THANK YOU.
