[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Which version are you trying to use, OpenKirin I'd assume? Honestly I don't remember the flashing time in fastboot, but that version surely works fine on Nougat. Never had to do more except forcing reboot to recovery after flashing TWRP. If TWRP wouldn't flashed well, an error report should be detected in output result in fastboot. Does FRP and Phone status are shown as "unlocked" in fastboot screen..?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hexag1:
I read that OpenKirin requires EMUI 8.0 or 9.0. I bought my phone in the US, and Huawei did not update past 5.0 . I read in a thread somewhere that twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img works for 5.0. Additionally the current OpenKirin setup is using Magisk, according to their website. Most guides that I found said to use TWRP for the recovery.

Still not having any luck, and sometimes the phone is just opening to the unlock warning where it gives the warning and then says "your device is booting now", and it's just stuck there.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
No i was meaning which version of TWRP, but reading the file name confirms to me that you're using OpenKirin TWRP. It's correct, that build works fully on EMUI 5.0. But I don't understand what are you trying to flash. What's your bootloader status? Locked or not?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hexag1:
Bootloader unlocked. I get the warning on boot and it says unlocked when I am in fastboot.

Honestly I just want to get something on here so I can get updates. Miffed that Huawei stopped updating the phone a long time ago.

I was following a guide from getdroidtips (can't link b/c I'm a new account) that was linking to an AOSP version maintained by an XDA developer. I would do OpenKirin, but their website gives a warning saying that their ROMs only work for EMUI 8.0 & 9.0 and that you might brick the phone if you try to flash on without already being upgraded to those. But I can't get updates from Huawei, they stopped it for this phone and cite some security reasons.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hexag1:
Can anyone else help me out here? IDK what to do. I it seems like I'm able to flash TWRP, but when I reboot, it always takes me to boot options with stock system recovery. RedSkull23's advice of immediately rebooting with fastboot reboot and holding down POWER and VOL+ does not work.

What to do?

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Hey sorry, I completely missed out last comments here.

I feel to point out that with fastboot reboot command, the timing for holding down the keys is very limited compared to manual reboot, so I'll detail in extremely accurate steps the moment when you have to hold keys down since that time ago this thing screwed me too.

1) flash TWRP as always. Ensure that the TWRP you're using is OldDroid's. (https://github.com/OpenKirin/androi...ases/download/3.1.1-0/twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img)

2) still in fastboot mode, remove the USB cable, hold down power button for 10+ seconds to let the phone reboot. Remove the USB cable or else the combination of keys will point you to another mode (keys hold with cable plugged in or out are different, so you have 3 combinations for cable plugged and 3 for cable unplugged. You need to unplug the cable to be able to use "reboot to recovery" keys combination.

3) screen will go blank. Release power button.

4) now in the exact moment when you feel the first vibration (usually 2-3 seconds after screen goes blank), immediately press and keep holding power button and vol+ until the honor logo on blue screen appears, finally here you can release the keys to successfully complete booting to TWRP.

Remember that when you see the NAG screen (warning screen), the die is cast. You should already decided in which mode you wanna boot, except if you're trying to boot to erecovery. In that case you can push vol+ in NAG screen to force booting in erecovery, but you can't access other modes from there: the device will boot to OS. The NAG screen when you're booting to TWRP by the way have less words than normal NAG screen and just says "you're device is booting now" without mentioning other options, different than normal NAG screen where you usually find "your device will continue to boot in 5 seconds" phrase. Keep this as a landmark, it's useful.

The procedure is tricky but this is how it works, and after that you get the correct timing it won't be a problem anymore. Obviously this works if on fastboot screen, FRP and PHONE status results unlocked, if the TWRP provided is valid, if USB Debug is enabled in developer options, if ADB is correctly working on your machine and if timing is correct. Let me know if you manage to boot to TWRP.

Hello,

I have a big problem with my Honor 6X from France, after unlock the Bootloader, install twrp-3.0.3-0-Berlin and root the phone with BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.

The phone get stuck in the reboot mode, maybe a break cause by the SuperSu ? I make a clear Cache and Dalvik.

I try the Huawei Erecovery with the Wifi, but it's don't working "Getting package info failed", Hisuite don't working too.

I can just get on the fastboot mode but I can't find a tool to restore like Flashtool from Xperia.

Someone is in the same situation ?

Thanks.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Try to flash stock firmware for your phone in fastboot or in dload method.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Steinshy:
Hello shashank1320,

Thank for reply, I try the dload method and it's working fine I will try a new attempt to root later.

Thanks again for your advice :)

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Steinshy:
Hello again,

Lucky day I got a another problem, I can't use my SIM card (2G and 4G don't work) I do a factory reset multiple time, put the card after and before the reset but not working.

I got "no service" or working for 5 second and get stuck, in setting dual SIM say "slot 1 and 2 inactive" I try to put the card in slot 1 and 2 and another card too.

If nothing is working maybe I can try the phone guaranteed, but with the unlocked bootloader I don't know if it's working well.

Have some tips ?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Are you using Chinese variant in any other county? If so, this is expected and you will get network only in sometime not immediately..because by default it goes to china telecom or china unicom apn.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Steinshy:
Hello :)

How I know if the phone is Chinese variant?

It's hi6250 for the model and bln-b132 for the number build, EMUI 4.1 and 6.0 for the Android version

I buy it in a local store from France.

It's my first try to the honor I was on Xperia (M4 and Z2) before.

The phone is very good shame I got problem like that.

If nothing working I will try to change the phone for a new one by guaranty.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Please try warranty part.

Regarding the question of variant, yours is different than the Chinese variant. Chinese variant is BLN-AL10 model.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] itsmeharsh:
is there any way to gain the warranty back after unlocking bootloader?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Steinshy:
Hello, no you can't have the guaranty back after unlocking the bootloader, you can't even lock again the bootloader.

But I try on the store where I buy the phone and the guy don't care about, I just say I don't like the phone and I give me back a card with the price of the phone on it for buying new stuff on his store. You can't hide the warning message on boot.

I went to the site to get my unlock code, but every time I click the "Unlock Bootloader" link it throws me straight back to the login page, so I login again and click the link, only to be sent back to the login page again.....total head f**k

Emailed them, it will be interesting to see how long its going to take for a reply
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BluBot:
Kick back to login

Whenever I try to log into the site to get to the unlock bootloader page, all it does is send me back to login after I click on unlock bootloader. I have no idea why, is the site having problems at all or...?

Hay Guys I have just bought a Honor 6x with number BLN-L21 and i can actually insert any sim card in this phone, so do i need to unlock bootloader of my device to be able to root or install beta version of 7.0
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Nope. Unlocked bootloader is required for root and custom rom stuff and have nothing to do with beta nougat or anything
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] talvigi:
Thanks dear you saved me from bricking my device. Now could you guys please let me know how will I be able to install nougat beta on my honor 6x BLN-L21 and very importantly would it void my warranty? And if I install the beta version of this nougat will my device be updated to final version automatically or I'll have to revert back to 6.0.1.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Unlocking bootloader wont brick the phone.

Register for beta for your region and done. You will get beta as ota update. And you will be able to get the full update once its is available and no need to go back to 6.x.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] talvigi:
Well, thanks for the suggestion but registration for the beta update in my region has ended now and I didn't have the device at that time. And now some guys told me to update manually the phone, that's way I asked whether my warranty will be void after I install manually or not.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Manual update wont void warranty if your bootloader is locked. Let me check i think you can update and move back to MM if you are on L21...you can wait and once beta is stable then it will be rolled out for all users. Till then enjoy MM. On 6X, it is smooth as well :)

I tried to unlock this using the Huawei Website. I had no luck doing it. I tried it on desktop and mobile both. I even tried it on Chinese Huawei site. Still not working. I've been using this device for more than 4 months and I've been using the Huawei ID.

Is there any workaround? Cuz i can't root my device. Let alone install a recovery.

Why am I getting this error saying I haven't use the Huawei ID device for more than 14 days ?

FRP locked

Guys,

I got my code from Huawei site,

Then I installed adb and when I enter

adb reboot bootloader

I get message on screen which says Phone is locked. FRP lock.

How do I unlock this and proceed?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] talvigi:
May be this means your phone screen is locked, to use adb you must enable USB debugging and install adb drivers for your device (which is automatically installed if you install Huawei HiSuite) and most importantly you must accept the adb connection to PC on your phone and then go further. That's what I know may be some other guy would better help you on that.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BackToAndroid:
USB debugging was on and I've install right adb driver on pc I verified this using

adb devices

so means connection is being accepted to PC right?

Hello, please can someone tell me if these three phone are actually the same one?

Huawei honor 6x, Huawei GR5 2017 , Huawei Mate 9 Lite.

I've read that Honor 6x and GR5 2017 are the same, and the Mate 9 Lite (the one I got) I can see that is also the same phone. But I want to be sure, need to root it and I don't want to brick the phone.

Also what about the compilation number? Does it matter if it's not the exact number? Thanks :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] izumi937:
After that message you need to follow the step 3, at least that happened to me, and it worked all good :)

1_ Plug your phone into your computer VIA USB

2_ Type the command ‘adb reboot bootloader‘ and hit enter.

3_ Once in bootloader mode, type ‘fastboot oem unlock [unlock code]‘

4_ Follow the on-screen instructions

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
The site won't give the unlocking code, it's not working
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] sleepraider:
That's been my experience as well. Additionally, when I've tried to look into paying a little to buy a bootloader unlock code, no one seems to have it. I'm at the point where I'd gladly pay a few bucks to get it, but nada. I contacted Huawei customer support (US) and I got a message that was barely an attempt at English but was trying to vaguely say they couldn't help me for fear of bricking my device. The rationale seemed as shady as the English.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I don't know what to say, I'm also disappointed
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] sleepraider:
So I tried again this morning (hey, just to see, right?) through the huawei unlock request website, and this time emailed emuifans@huawei.com with my problem. I expect little to nothing, but I did include the error and explained that the main reason I bought this phone was for this code. I further asked if they couldnt supply the bootloader code, to allow me to exchange the phone or get a refund.

Again, I expect very little, but I'm going to keep trying until I get something.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I hope it works
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] sleepraider:
I got this reply, but this wasnt from emuifans, I went through the bootloader attempt again, and emailed customer service and got a reply from that....

So, in terms of terrible, stupid responses, well done, Huawei, you've topped out. What an idiot reply.

I dont care what their politics are (he meant policies, but doesnt know English very well).

But my question now, is that since it appears to be an issue with the IMEI being in the US, can I change my location (according to Huawei website (via say, vpn) or my IMEI # to get around this?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I don't know, try and see if there's any difference :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Just tried, the message in the attachments is what i get. If i try from pc (already read from other users that it isn't suggested just because it doesn't work, but i wanted to try anyway) the prompt says that "Your Huawei ID is registered on the other site, and can’t log in. Please register a new Huawei ID on the current site." Now I'm reading that there are differences among various Huawei ID sites (i mean that for someone the redirect brings to the site with the "5" in the URL, someone other is redirected to the site with the 7, etc.) So, which site is just preferred to obtain the unlock code for sure?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
We don't know :(
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] sleepraider:
Does anyone know of a way to root without unlocking the bootloader? I'm just thinking if there was a way to root, maybe then the focus could shift for me towards then using other software (like multi tool) to see if I could then get the bootloader code.

My situation is that I've tried every site, even via Internet Explorer cause I've read that (weirdly) it could succeed more with Huawei site than chrome, but it just keep prompting the same error "Your ID is already registered on the other site ecc. ecc." so I'll try even via Mozilla, then I'll check if the method that I've posted in my previous post works. Plus, after that I've been redirected to the site that seems to be the one correct for my country, I've got the same, identical error. So, I've wrote an email to Huawei to seen how they are with policies in Italy about gave me the possibility to unlock my bootloader, I'm curious about their answer.
