3. FAQ

I cannot start recovery after installing TWRP

>> ( [MENTION=4247445]X04D[/MENTION] ) Use "Power + Volume Up" to get into TWRP Recovery.

>> ( [MENTION=6620292]Kikito94[/MENTION] ) Try to restart into recovery without USB cable connected

>> ( [MENTION=3834159]spotting[/MENTION] ) In my case both tips did not help. I've tried this image:

>>> USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK <<<

I've also re uploaded the version of HRT-Team from Huawei Club:

I cannot use SuperSU / install Busybox

>> ( [MENTION=3834159]spotting[/MENTION] ) you have to "Trust" SuperSU. Open your settings, go to permissions manager, find SuperSU and activate the option Trust this app

After Unlocking the bootloader, i see a new screen at startup: Your phone is not safe ... Can i disable this screen?

>> ( [MENTION=3834159]spotting[/MENTION] ) no

After Unlocking the Bootloader, i am not able to login into my Huawei ID. For Example i am not able to download a new Design.

>> (@ ???) Huawei is offering their services to a specific location. After a you have unlocked your bootloader, the device has made a fullwipe. After a wipe, you have to reconnect with your Huawei ID >> from your registered location <<

Install ""VPN1Click" from playstore. Go to "airplane mode". activate Wireless Lan. Start VPN1click and connect to your registered location. (for example Hongkong!). Login to your Huawei Account ... disable VPN, disable airplane mode ... everything is working now.
