I have same problem with relocking by b121. Therefore i must wait on really custom rom as CM which is not only customized b330 and etc.
[Honor 7 General] AlexandrosNic:
An easy method to do this is by navigating to the directory where you have extracted the image files,

Hold Shift+right click (mouse)

Select "Open command window here", it will open a black screen

Type "fastboot devices" to check if it recognize your device

And then type the other fastboot commands

Try flash the above:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery2 recovery.img

It worked for me.
[MENTION=7060172]kenshiwara[/MENTION] maybe you could add this in the first page.

Make sure your device is usb debugged, then when you type "adb devices" click "ok" at the notification that will show your device, and then it will recognize it

[MENTION=7060172]kenshiwara[/MENTION] , [MENTION=5897941]eddor1614[/MENTION] I have the same problem. What do you mean by "force systemless installation..." ?

I read that I have to install a previous supersu (like 2.62) but that didnt work as well.

I have B330b. Any recommendation??

What about B370?

Thank you
[Honor 7 General] eddor1614:
Hi.

Inside Twrp, just before installing supersu go to advanced -> Terminal. Click select and type the following code "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu", without quotes.

It will force systemless install.

[Honor 7 General] alinus2009:
I've spend many times, searching informations and tips over the Net, reflashing all system and so on. And finally I've rooted my Honor 7 !

This [Guide For Beginners] was my bible but there are things I would share :

Stage 1 – Unlock The Bootloader

Part 1.1 – Getting The Unlock Password

You can only get an ID from the Chinese Huawei web site (https://hwid5.vmall.com/oauth2/portal/cloud_login.jsp?lang=zh-cn&validated=true&service=http%3A%2F%2Femui.huawei.com%2Fen%2Fplugin.php%3Fid%3Dhwlogin%3Avalidate%26ru%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Femui.huawei.com%252Fen%252Fplugin.php%253Fid%253Dhwdownload%2526mod%253Dlist&loginChannel=22000000&reqClientType=2023&adUrl=http%3A%2F%2Femui.huawei.com%2Fen%2Fsource%2Fplugin%2Fhwlogin%2Flogin.php). The English one don't work (no Captcha displayed) and you don't get anything :(

Another point is that you must log in to the site with your Facebook account. If not it won't work.

If you don't read Chinese - like me - you can open the English web page in another tab and switch from Chinese tab to English Tab to see what is asked.

Stage 3 – Root The Device

Before installing SuperSU make a full TWRP backup of your system !

Don't install the SuperSU package from the Chainfire web site ! If you do that you're sure to got the FHSOD ("Frozen Honor Screen Of Death";)) !

I've tried many and no one works.

The only one I've found which I was able to install successfully is in the Multitool package. (http://xdaforums.com/honor-7/general/honor-7-multi-tool-t3281176).

I don't know why but it makes more things during install than Chainfire package and...it's OK.

Part V - How To Fix Bootloops

Step 1 and 2

If you got the FHSOD you couldn't power off your mobile because each time it will restart automatically. The only thing you could do is to enter the TWRP recovery (press middle of volume button as soon as you feel the mobile vibrates). So you will be able to restart the mobile in fastboot mode (button [Reboot] of the TWRP menu) and enter the flashboot dos commands.

I hope it will be usefull for those who are in pain to root their Honor 7 :)
[Honor 7 General] Confusedpeanut:
i tried the above but the Captcha not shows for me?

I either tried from my phone not sure what im doing wrong
[Honor 7 General] DigiGoon:
The latest SuperSU is working fine now. :D :D :)
[Honor 7 General] Confusedpeanut:
anyone know a way i can fix the Captcha not showing up problem?

I go to the link (page is Chinese) / click log in via facebook then my page is English? (no Captcha is displayed)

Stage 1 – Unlock The Bootloader

Part 1.1 – Getting The Unlock Password

You can only get an ID from the Chinese Huawei web site (https://hwid5.vmall.com/oauth2/porta...in/login.php). The English one don't work (no Captcha displayed) and you don't get anything

Another point is that you must log in to the site with your Facebook account. If not it won't work.

When I had issues with the captcha, I just used a different browser (I think chrome worked).
[Honor 7 General] egortech:
Hello! I have issue with my Honor 7. After latest OTA update my device boot looping with optimization of application screen. Now, I successful unlocked bootloading and flashing TWRP recovery. There i am full wipe all partition and push full firmware image into internal storage in folder dload. In fastflash i return to original recovery, extracted from latest completed flash image. I try flash via three-key combo but after 5 % progress I got "update failed". After this i flash all partition via flashboot method. But device currently froze at Honor boot-splash. Any change to return to live my phone?
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
I tried 3 different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome) and still no captcha. Please help! Or someone give me the full url for the Chinese site for the unlock code, please. Thanks!
[Honor 7 General] egortech:
emui.com/plugin/unlock/detail.com/plugin/unlock/detail for get Chinese version of unlock bootloader page. Maybe you need to get Huawei account, because Facebook login option isn't available for this version as I see.
[Honor 7 General] zinko_pt:
Try to delete your browser cache, use compatibility mode. You MUST be able to see the captcha, even from an non-Windows device.
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
Thanks, but the link you wrote (emui.com/plugin/unlock/detail) isn't working.

Still no captcha. I tried on my phone too and no captcha either.
[Honor 7 General] SoulSeekerHS:
Damn, thats strange. Well, if you dont mind posting your details (imei 1, serial, product id), I'm sure someone will help you out and just get the unlock code for you. I could try sometime this weekend.
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Can you provide more information. What firmware were you running before and which update did you receive.
[Honor 7 General] DigiGoon:
You need to flash the UPDATE.APP of same version as your previous build.
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
I tried it on my company network and still no captcha. And this network is in a different country...

It seems I will not root my phone, because I will not post all of my sensitive data to a forum. :(

Anyone has any idea how can I obtain an unlock code from Huawei?
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
I'm having the same issue. In an earlier comment there is a guide linked and it says if the official way is not working you can go to the unofficial one, costs around 4 euros and you get the unlock code. I might try it.
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Why don't you PM someone whom you know and ask him/her to try to get it for you.
[Honor 7 General] alinus2009:
First go to page : http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=unlock&action=apply

Log in with your Facebook account.

Then go there : http://emui.huawei.com/index.php/plugin/hwdownload/download

A page like the thumbnail 1 must be displayed.

Select the locker text and the select the option 1 in the popup window (thumbnail 2).

Check the buttom box and validate the license agreement as on the thumbnails 3 and 4.

Then you will arrive on the page with captcha (thumbnail 5).

Regards.
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
I don't know anyone here whom I trust.

After I log in on the first site with my Facebook account, then I go to the other site, click on the locker icon, choose the first option, then all I've got is a login screen.
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Yeah. That's also true. Why not ask a friend or relative who is not in your city or country...

Might work.
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
Hi guys, i rooted my phone with kingroot. Now i was trying to unroot my device using kingroot and it told me that root access has been removed, but the cpu-z app says that i still have root access. I also tried with root checker and it sayes that i have not root access. So it seems like i still have at least a part of root.

I think the only thing i can do is flash a ROM and than do OTA updates. I'm at the b170 version right now, can someone tell me what rom should i flash and what's the procedure i should follow?
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Whats the model number of your phone and build number of your firmware?

Check the build number of your firmware from settings>about phone.

This information is necessary for recommending a rom or a method to get rid of KingRoot.

As a side note, never use KingRoot to root your phone. It always creates problems when you go for unroot imo.
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
The build number is PLK-L01C432B170
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Here are the steps for you to unroot it fully.

Download your firmware from here

https://mega.nz/#!lM4FWAIb!BNQpHQMtPqpW2gGVv85i3JfnmIFyrTuo8xSg2VJDZPo

Use Huawei update extractor to extract boot.img and system.img

Use fastboot mode to flash these files using

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot flash system system.img

And you are fully unrooted. Now you can easily apply OTA updates for your phone.
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
Thank you very much. Just a few questions... So i connect my phone to pc with usb cable, than have i to turn off the phone or not? Than i just have to use these commands in the prompt no metter where i extracted the files?

Edit: i extracted the files with huawei extraxtor but there is no file system.img at all.
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
As you still have part of a root on your phone, you can not install anything until you get rid of it.

Getting rid of that is a lengthy process.

First you have to unlock the bootloader. For that you need an unlock password from Huawei website.

Head to

https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail

And log in with your Huawei id and apply for an unlock code.

Download and install latest Android SDK on your PC.

Run SDK manager from c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk and install only the platform tools as you don't need anything else.

Meanwhile download your firmware and extract the said images using Huawei update extractor and save them to your platform tools folder usually in c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk.

Turn off your phone and then press and hold power +vol down to boot into fastboot mode.

Connect your phone to PC.

Hold shift and right click platform-tools folder and choose open command window here.

Type

fastboot devices

And it should show you a serial number which means you are good to go.

Now type

Fastboot OEM unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is your unlock password which you got from Huawei website.

Then type

fastboot reboot

and quickly hold the vol down key until the phone boots into fastboot mode again. Now there should be written

Phone unlocked

In red color.

Then and only then you can flash

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot flash system system.img

And you are good to go. Sorry for such a lengthy process.

Finally save all the files you downloaded to do this process somewhere on your hard drive:) as you are a nerd now and may need them again.
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
Wow, i'm really thankfull, i'll try as soon as possible... There is one only problem, i downloaded the firmwere you gave to me, but there is no file system.img.
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Impossible. You have to extract update.app from the firmware zip and open that update.app with Huawei update extractor.

Use winrar to extract dload folder from the firmware zip. You will find update.app in it. Open it with Huawei update extractor and you will see the system.img
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Please let me know if you have any questions or queries. I am here to help.:)

And let me know if you found the system.img
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
I don't know, can't fint it!!! Are you sure you gave me the right link?
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
Finally, it worked. I needed to clear all cookies and tried 3 times, when I finally have my unlock code. Thanks!

I think this should be in the first post.
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Nobody could find the build 170 till now. DigiGoon has compiled a list of all the firmwares and even he could not find it.

I was really happy today that I found it but it seems that it's a fake one. Don't use it. I put your question in another thread to experienced users here. Let's see what they have to say.

Until then, don't do anything. A small mistake can send your phone into a bootloop. That's why I advised to use b170 as it will not brick your phone. I will get back to you as soon as I have more info.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

My bad. These updates are incremental OTA updates so they don't have system.img.

In theory, your system.img is still based on the firmware which came preinstalled.

So you can flash any of b130 or b140 system.img but first lemme make sure.
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
Ok thank you again, i'm waiting for updates than!

Anyway i'm havin iussues finding the password for bootload unlock. I registered in the website you linked but when i click on the link to confirm my registration i can't reach the website... i'm confused
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Clear the cookies for your browser.

If that does not work, use another browser.

And you need to login with the id which you used to login to get to Huawei services on your phone.

Otherwise they will ask you to register the ID and then login with it on your phone for 15 days consecutively before applying for an unlocking password.

First you need to get that and then we can move on to the next phase with build b180.
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
Which browser did you use?
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
Firefox.
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
Thanks. Worked for me too.

I'm facing another issue: it says Huawei ID hasn't been used on this phone for 14 days. When I'm trying to get an ID using my phone, it says "network server is busy".

:(
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
I got an email from Huawei customer service stating that the id should be logged in on the phone for at least 15 days before applying for the password.

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

Someone stated in another thread that the string UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (16 times) can work on some Huawei devices as a universal unlock code. Anyone here wanna give it a try. It will in no way affect your phone(I mean trying won't brick it). If it works then we all will be free of Huawei website.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
this story was starting at 2013. It works for units build before 2014 only. It does not match for newer devices!:p

IT DOES NOT WORK ON HONOR 7!!!:silly:
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
Nothing to do, i tried to clear cookies on every browser, i disabled antivirus and firewall but i can't reach this website :confused:
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
I used the "unofficial" way to unlock it right now. It was worth 4 Eur. Huawei sucks.
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
What's this unofficial way?
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
try to use KUBUNTU Live CD! It will ignore all your personal circumstance and give you a secure environment!

I got my second code (new device!) last month without any problem within two minutes! (Linux / Firefox)
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
Look at the link above. :)
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
How does it work? Can i install it on windows?

And an other question (probably a stupid one), if i root my phone using honor 7 multitool doesn't it unlock the bootllader too?
[Honor 7 General] zinko_pt:
Unlock and root are different processes.

First unlock, so you can write at boot and recovery partitions

Second flash a new recovery(TWRP) and SuperSU (root manager)

Multitool can guide you in those processes, but you can also do it manually and thus have more control of what is happening.
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
Ok thank you for your explanation
[Honor 7 General] DigiGoon:
I use/prefer/recommend manual method over multi tool. :D :D :)
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
KUBUNTU Live CD is a boot able standalone system!!!! Download it; burn iso-image to a cd and boot from it. That`s all!

You will boot into a full Linux system without touching your windows system!!! No Changes and no installations are necessary!!! This is the trick! It will use your hardware only. This is the way to get a clean and secure internet browser for getting the code.:D

after reboot into KUBUNTU you will be able to start a browser like it is in windows.

Try it and you will see...
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
How do i boot from cd? And than how do i return to windows?
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
When you turn on your system, there is a specific key needed to be pressed to boot into your system setup. It's different for different brands. Google

How to enter xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx setup

Where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the model number of your PC.

From there you have to search boot options or boot order or some similar wording. Usually hard drive is the top/no 1 boot option, change it to CD rom or USB... Whichever you want to boot from.

To return to windows, just power down your pc, eject the CD and boot again. It should boot into Windows.

If not, go to that boot order in your system setup again and make hard drive the 1st choice for the boot.
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
I don't understand what is he want with the unlock code, when he doesn't even know how to handle a live cd....
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
There was a time when I was the same. Many people guided me so am returning the favor.

And who knows what his/her circumstances are. As an example, May be he/she is a teenager or an old person who never encountered such things.

There can be thousands reasons for knowing things and the same amount for not knowing things.

Just be patient with all:)
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
I understand when someone doesn't know something The thing I don't understand that what could be those circumstances when you need/want to unlock/root your phone, but you don't know what a live cd is. That's all. :)
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
Hi again guys,

I tried to root my phone, without a success. I installed "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip" with TWRP recovery and after a reboot my phone did not start. (stopped at "Honor" screen (bootloop?)).

What could I do?

I flashed the B395 image files extracted from update.app, using fastboot (boot.img, cust.img, recovery.img, system.img), this is how I could start it again. But of course it is not rooted.
[Honor 7 General] zinko_pt:
Try an older SuperSU like 2.62. I know some ROMs are picky with the version of SuperSU.
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Version 2.62 works with the stock kernel.

You can also flash boot.img from DigiKernel which allows to use 2.76.

Haven't tried 2.78 yet.
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
Thanks guys, it worked with 2.62. Now I can't edit my build.prop anyhow. Problem is with permissions I think. I tried with adb, es file explorer and build.prop editor as well.

I have no step without any difficulty. :(
[Honor 7 General] lionboy33:
If you can't access build.prop nor use es root browser (use total Commander anyway, es is horrible), you're Phone is not properly rooted or the SuperSU app is blocking the certain apps from using root
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Flash stock boot.img and system.img again to unroot your phone and root again with 2.62.

If the problem persists, flash boot.img from DigiKernel and use v2.76 to root.
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
Now it is stock boot.img and rooted with 2.62. What will change if I do the same again?

Does Digikernel work on PLK-AL10?
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Nope. DigiKernel is for PLK-L01 and I reverted to stock and flashed 2.62 a couple of hours back, just to make sure that I can edit build.prop and I could.

You should be able to do the same and if you can not, the only way to make it work (imho) is to root again.

As lionboy33 said, there is a problem with SuperSU in granting permissions to certain apps. I know of no way of fixing it except rooting again.

You can start a new thread in honor 7> Questions, Answers and Troubleshooting with your problem, may be someone will be able to help then as a new thread is more prominent.
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
Hello guys

I managed to edit build.prop, following these instructions:

http://androiding.how/edit-build-prop-without-root-using-adb-in-twrp-recovery/

:)
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
ok, it works but i think it is more complicated then using "Totalcommander" if you have root.
[Honor 7 General] zinko_pt:
But if you need to boot into TWRP to pull build.prop to the PC, why not flash SuperSU? I mean, you already had to unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery into the recovery partition...
[Honor 7 General] tgergo:
I flashed SuperSU but could not edit build.prop anyhow. (See above :))
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
I've finnally been able to get the unlock code from huawei website. Now as i am at b170 version, what version should i flash once i''ll unlock the bootloader?
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
I apologize but there are so many posts that I can not find yours again and it's been a long time so I don't remember much.

Simply to say, if you are an EU customer then flash images from C432B170 and if from middle east, flash C185B170.

You can then just upgrade OTA.
[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
Yes, i'm sorry... I rooted my phone with king root. Now i want to update but i i was not able to unroot before doing this. So you told me that i had to unlock thw bootloader to flash a new version
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
You can also force update to the latest firmware but you will lose all your data. If you want that, lemme know and I will write down the steps for you.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

Well, you already have an unlocked bootloader (use my guide from before), if you are EU customer, download C432B380, if from middle east download C185B370.

Use Huawei update extractor to extract recovery, boot, system and Cust

Connect phone to PC in bootloader mode (after unlocking bootloader)

Fire these commands using adb (open command prompt window in platform-tools)

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot flash Cust Cust.img

Copy the dload folder containing UPDATE.APP (extracted from firmware) in an SD, put it in your phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone reboots. Let go of power but keep others pressed until a forced update starts.

Let it finish and you have the latest firmware(no need for OTA) :)

THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR APPS AND DATA so make a backup on your PC using hisuite.

Link for the firmware... Download and Leave a thanks for DigiGoon at this thread

[Honor 7 General] PallaFresca:
Thank you very much!! Do i have to extract those files in the platform-tools folder?
[Honor 7 General] muradulislam:
Yep, you need them in your platform-tools folders to be able to flash them...
