Hi,

I do not know what to do or what to think, I read that the TWRP recovery for Huawei Honor 6x Emui 5.x and Nougat had problems.

Can someone tell me a TWRP that works on my hardware, a TWRP that someone would have tested?

I would greatly appreciate it :)

Thank you
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Khan ubaid:
The latest twrp doesn't boot up ,

Use initial release of twrp for honor 6x
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkmo:
Thank you and what is the initial version and where to find it?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Khan ubaid:
In twrp official site... I would recommend you to use elite Twrp by Hassan mirza
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkmo:
I do not find it, I hardly speak English and I go through a translator. Is that what you would have the link please? Thank you.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
I never had problems on Nougat while using OpenKirin TWRP (never had on Hassan's one too) and you can find the first i mentioned here, in OP https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413

and i talk to huawei service via email but they side that unpassible l to give me my code via email .

what can i do to get my unlock code ?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
There is a different url now on the same page.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] haitham16995:
can you give me the url becouse i talk with huawei service and the give me the same url
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
unfortunately the new link I had is also not working. It was there on main page but not anymore.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] haitham16995:
ok thank you, i know there is no way ?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Write here https://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/ asking for your bootloader unlock code, they'll ask you your phone details and then they'll send it to you (i obtained mine this way)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] haitham16995:
i try this two times with no helpful . they side that coludn't give me my code via email
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
That's ridiculous they've sent it to me so they surely can, this is fault of different regional laws about unlocking the phone... Have you tried by contacting directly Honor instead of Huawei?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] haitham16995:
Nothing we can do . I found my code in old backuped note in my PC . Thanks for trying to help me . I already unlocked my phone and install twrp . Thanks allot

Sir honor is not providing me the bootloader unlock code. Is there any way rooting honor 6x without bootloader Unlock code?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
I don't think so, at the moment. Contact your local Huawei and tell them to send to you your code, they must provide it to you, i've obtained mine in 2 working days.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
Will security updates unroot my phone?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
To do an OTA update, usually you have to remove root and restore stock boot and recovery images, so i'd say yes. But until you'll have an unlocked bootloader, just update and root again shortly after :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
Thanks!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Honor bootloader unlock site is live again. Get your code before 60 days.

I'm getting an error and the screen shows Phone Unlocked, FRP locked when I reboot to bootloader. And I installed Hisuite and now it just reboots to the Huawei Recovery. Help?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
In erecovery, download full firmware and boot normally.

Or try dload with same firmware or version you had before this.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
I should mention that when I turn off the phone and boot it up, there's nothing wrong, but it just refuses to install TWRP.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Which variant? And build number?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Amirk365:
BLN-L24 on B372.

Hey man I have a Huawei gr5 2017 and I am worried that the recovery wouldn't work so any clue if it will work for me ? (Model bll-l21)(btw I am trying to rebrand and update to emui 8 then RR Oreo from openkirin will your guides work with my model ?)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
You can use this guide
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
You can use this guide to root. All will work fine
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] CodingAddict704:
thank you a lot man you are the best :D
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aditya Tondwalkar:
will this twrp work in emui 8??
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Nope. I think only elemental twrp working
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Use Askuccio's TWRP - https://mega.nz/#!XERjiIoD!_Am-dDPNoCnTQf8MdH5hf4-FUBVJg4KvTh6AHV1Uia4 - like Elemental TWRP it can't mount data due EMUI 8 encryption, but it works better when it's the case of flashing ROMs :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aditya Tondwalkar:
i am totally new to this... if my phone gets bricked then will I be able to get my phone back in working state?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
For sure, thanks to HuRUpdater times about bricks are easily repairable and overall bad memories. Unless you mess up every single partition (i mean just everything, no fastboot no twrp ecc. and this is really difficult to achieve because usually when you flash stuff you don't touch the fastboot reserved partition), you'll always be able to get back on EMUI (for saying goodbye again soon after).

i cant find my oem unlock menu in developer options on honor 6x
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Travisholt92:
Hey guys, I have great news. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR BOOTLOADER UNLOCK FOR THIS DEVICE! I have just tested and can confirm that the Slock method for the Honor P9 lite DOES work on the Honor 6x. I have a L21 model running emui 5.0.3 and was able to unlock my bootloader for free using the method provided here https://xdaforums.com/9-lite/how-to/unlock-bootloader-code-t3859685

Happy unlocking! :)

I will be compiling PBRP and other goodies for this device. You guys just picked up another developer ;)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] novaw:
I currently hold a Honor 6X BLN-L21C432B382 EMUI 5.0.3 (7.0) also OEM Unlock in Developer Options shows up.

The only thing would like to get: the call recording enabled. I got the ported app /zip/ from chinese firmwire but not sure about root since the company won't provide any unlock number. Since I'm not able to make online payments what else can I do to unlock the bootloader and make it work?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Djiban:
hello

Root worked of course perfectly for me, thx !
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Glad this is still helpful. :)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Boot to phone normally.

Go to setting, remove google account.

Remove fingerprint, password, pin.

Boot to fastboot.

Flash the twrp as you did earlier
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hosen-124236:
This method did not work with me

Does this work on Windows 7 or it need Windows 8???
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Yes method is common for win 7,8 and 10. Only driver changes which OS installs itself(correct drivers) when device is connected
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hosen-124236:
Sorry

But why didn't work for me this way even though I followed all the steps and delete the Google Account???

When I enter the Fastboot mode I find the boot loader unlocked and I find the FRP locked should it be locked?

I need your help.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
No, FRP should be unlocked
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hosen-124236:
What is the way to open the FRP lock??
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
So:

1 - Start the phone

2 - developer settings

3 - Search and activate OEM Unlock in developer settings: if a password is asked, it's your lock screen pin.

4 - Reboot to fastboot. FRP should be unlocked.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hosen-124236:
OEM not working in my device nougat 7.0
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
It may not be there in Nougat.

Check the video I posted in 6x guide section for bypass the Google accounts

Or do a factory reset and try again
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jax:
can i install ota updates after installing twrp
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
I don't remember if it's due a locked OEM or a USB debug option disabled (by developer settings) at the moment of the unlock or something else to make that option grayed out, but there was a method to make it not grey again.

Yes
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jax:
do i need stock recovery for that
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Yes i think, then fastboot for command "fastboot oem relock [yourcode]"
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Not all OTAs. Be sure it's labeled as PV.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jax:
Relock didnt work i already tried that, i think i need to wait for emui 6,Huawei already replaced my previously bricked honor 6x mobo for free

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
That's why you're having problems. You need to unlock FRP first.

Hi Shashank1320

I unlocked my AL-10 (Chinese version) Honor 6X and installed twrp and then rooted. All went through without any problem, however when I ran the Root Checker app to verify root access, I get "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device. Device BLN-AL-10, Android version 7.0".

Any ideas, I installed SperSU twice.

Thank you
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Which superSu you flashed?

Try with 2.79 it should work. Also, sometimesthis root app doesn't start to give permission. So ypu can go to root app, settings, and select grant root permission instead of ask.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBoozer:
Thank you indeed. It was the permission as you indicated.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Glad it was quickly fixed
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Dazed No More:

Flash magisk as mentioned by Redskull23 above or follow this same guide, 1st post to root
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] atifmas:
If I do this , will it root my phone or I need some other process after this to complete root?

Another question: If I want to get back to stock in future can I able to do it if I use this process?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Of course it'll root your phone, you won't need nothing else then. Going back to stock after root is easy; just click on "complete uninstall" from Magisk Manager, it will remove Magisk Manager+SU binaries automatically.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] atifmas:
Will you be kind enough to help me step by step...I'm really a newbie in this rooting stuff :) I got magisk 14.0.zip Now how to install TWRP and than going through process, thanks in advance.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
Sure man. So, to install TWRP you must have an unlocked bootloader; if you have already did that, just go on TWRP thread in guides section and follow the instructions given by OP (1st post) to flash it by fastboot mode with terminal emulator commands (if it sounds weird don't worry, it isn't). If you still have to unlock the bootloader, check this https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-honor-6x-t3535321 all the steps are listed here.

[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
OEM unlock from developer menu is enabled? Debug USB is enabled? For commodity, change TWRP's name just to "twrp" other than full name and try by fastboot "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

EDIT - don't quote full OP man, too long to scroll down while on phone browsing... ;)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jason92420:
Stilt didn't work

I have USB debugging checked and oem won't let me uncheck it because my bootloader unlocked lol I changed the name of the twrp and still nothing this is frustrating lol
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Try flashing the twrp from elite rom thread and see if it works
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] geekygrl:
Just FYI if anyone has a Huawei GR5 2017 L22 variant (I have an Australian handset) with EMUI 5.0 this method works just fine.

I did it with Arch Linux exactly as written in OP (just make sure you have android-tools installed from your repo and use sudo when in fastboot)

Cheers OP!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Thank you form confirming. Not sure why this is not working for few. May be they can try other twrp from elite rom or meiculus one.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] geekygrl:
Yeah you need to use: sudo fastboot oem unlock (code)

Linux needs superuser permissions to run fastboot under command line.

adb doesn't need it, but fastboot does.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Great geekygrl.

Yup linux needs sudo, for ubuntu and other related flavour of linux. For redhad and other similar, su to root and proceed but haven't tested on rhel yet.

If I already unlocked my bootloader but need to dload back to stock can I unlock again with same 16 digit number from the 1st time or do i need to request another code?

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on an BLN-L24C567 but I get PHONE Locked and FRP Lock. Reading comments I read about deleting PIN and fingerprints, but that didn't work. I'm still getting FRP Lock and the Fastboot command returns "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)". I even did a factory reset but it's still not working. I have another identical phone and everything works perfectly in there. Any ideas on how to unlock the bootloader in this scenario? (I need to install TWRP to make a backup and restore it on my other phone).
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] RedSkull23:
OEM unlock and debug USB options from developer settings menu are enabled?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chacko:
Might be the OEM unlock, I forgot about that. Can't check right now but I'll report back. Thanks!

Unable to install TWRP

I have been unable to complete the TWRP installation process on BLN-L24, either under EMUI 4 or 5. No problem unlocking bootloaders or using adb to reboot bootloader. TWRP appears to install correctly, but then "fastboot reboot" has no effect. The phone just hangs on the bootloader screen until rebooted by hand, at which point stock recovery is reloaded. I'm on a Mac, using Homebrew for adb functionality. Everything works fine when I cycle through "adb reboot bootloader" and "fastboot reboot" commands. It's only after TWRP installs that "fastboot reboot" won't work. Does anybody have any ideas how I can make this work? Thanks much!
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Are you on emui 4 or 5?

There is a seperate twrp for emui 4.

If this is not working on emui 5 then try using the meticulouus or elite twrp.

Fastboot reboot should just boot to system and not recovery
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] potkin:
