Hello All. I'm an honor 7x user. (Honor 7x AL10) I bought the phone from India, and I just got to Canada and realized that this phone it isn't compatible in Canada because of the contrasting calling band frequencies (LTE). I came across TUTORIALS on how to enable multiple band frequencies, but in order to enable different bands, my phone needs to be rooted! Is this true.

So i understood the whole rooting process, but I was hoping if someone could guide me in getting the 16 digit unlock code in order to root the phone since the Huawei website/Customer support doesn't offer it. Even the DC Unlocker website or it's software has no spot for the Honor 7X . Any help would greatly help me in this foreign country. I'm currently handicapped without a phone.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] allrockedout:
Just sell the phone and buy another. It's going to be to much work trying to unlock bands. If your able to make phone calls and get 3g just keep it. But not worth it trying to unlock anything.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] fahadmanzur:
Thank you for the swift response Sir. Appreciate it.

My phone does not detect mobile network unfortunately. So obviously, can not make or receive calls. I really like the phone, would you suggest I buy the same phone from Amazon.com USA? Would the Honor 7X Release in the USA be compatible with the same bands? (Honor 7x is not available in Canada)

Kindly provide your valuable suggestion.

Thanks in Advance

Hi all,

I've managed to unlock bootloader and root with OP's guide (thanks!).

Now i have twrp installed: can I install oreo via otp?

I've received notification for bnd-l21 update 8.0.0.330 and I'm not sure if I should restore stock recovery or I can proceed to oreo with TWRP recovery.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Need stock recovery for OTA
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] vernee:
Thanks for the answer.

I downloaded stock recovery from https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=23956#downloads and inside I found two .img files: does anybody know which one is safe to install on bnd-l21c432b123 - emui 5.1 for Oreo OTA?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
It's recovery.img and recovery2.img correct?

Recovery.img = recovery

Recovery2.i.g = erecovery (recovery2)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] vernee:
Correct.

If i understood correctly i could have stock recovery and

Twrp as Erecovery?

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

I'm now updating to oreo with stock recovery.

:good:

EDIT:

I was able to root with Oreo. Here's what I did in case it might help someone else:

- downloaded zip from https://xdaforums.com/honor-7x/development/oreo-twrp-complete-backup-t3764500

- There are a few TWRP and I had to install three times to find the right one.

- reboot, remove usb cable, press power and volume up keys.

- Installed magikdisk from apk because supersu couldn't install and magikdisk zip did install but didn't appear in app list

I have updated to Oreo. I have the us version BND-L24 and I am unable to use the website to unlock my phone. Any suggestions? I have my serial number, imei number and product number but the website just won't accept the numbers I give it. Creating an account was a pain enough.

I was going through all of this and nothing was working, all the commands were showing failed. Then I factory reset my phone, like F it. To my surprise the teamwin logo popped up, it is static at the moment but I will leave it for a while to boot.

Will i lose my root accessss?

hi,

I have rooted my honor 7x running AL10 running on Android 7.

If i upgrade to new nougat with the OTA method,will i lose my root access?

Pls clarify! All boot, kernel and rom are all stock only recovery is the TWRP recovery one!
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
for ota , need to have stock recovery and not rooted.

So , not that you loose root, you need to remove root first. Then update, and can root again after
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] darkkid85:

Hello Can someone please help me how I can Unlock from honour official website. I don't see any option to unlock my phone there. Can anyone please help me with that at the earliest
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] arebelspy:
This root thread is now one year old.

Can't find much current information.

Did everyone give up on the 7X after Huawai got rid of their bootloader unlock page?

Is there a current working root method if you have your unlock code already? Will it work with current updates, or is there a way to update after?

Don't want to just try stuff 10 months old and brick.

Would appreciate any thoughts or links.

Cheers!
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
So nothing has changed , as far as root method.

You unlock bootloader, downlad your current version firmware, extract oit the update.app, them extract the ramdisk.img from that. Use magisk manager to patch the ramdisk then fastboot flash the patched image.

Or install twrp, (but do. Not use twrp for ANY wipes. )

And flash magisk.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] arebelspy:
Great!

Okay, that shouldn't be a problem.

What if it isn't available? Use one from months ago? Or use a current one from an L-21 on my L-24?

Again, I think I can figure that out, though if you have any links to directions that would be appreciated.

What version of Magisk? Does it matter?

If TWRP isn't necessary, seems easier to skip it? Otherwise, what version of TWRP?

Also, what backup/restore method is best to not lose data/ have to set up phone again?

Thanks, really appreciate the help! :D
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
No you can't do that.

What I mean by current was really the version you have installed. It should be available, you might have to look for it by "bond-l24" instead of "bnd-l24"

If stock rom, then the hisuite backup that is built into the room works great.

There is a pretty good guide on that magisk install.

https://xdaforums.com/honor-view-10/development/magisk-root-honor-view-10-mate-10-pro-t3749280

Just skip the part about using a custom repo.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] arebelspy:
Hmm.. My current build is BND-L24 8.0.0.347(C567). The latest build I can find is 344.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
It is here.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] arebelspy:
Thanks! You are much better at google than me. :D

You seem to imply you can unlock bootloader without TWRP? OP in this thread is directions for unlocking bootloader by flashing TWRP, and it says wipe Dalvik Cache in step 10, but you say not to have TWRP wipe anything.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Ahhhhh, then I guess this guide is dated.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] arebelspy:
Is there a better one to use then?

Yes, this one.

Appreciate for your advise the following...

1. Is L21 firmware works or valid for BND-AL00 China model?

2. The Huawei Honor 7x has three regional stock ROM for China, Europe and India, correct me if i am wrong?

3. Is L21 ROM work well for Asia countries example Singapore, Malaysia?

4. What is the latest stable firmware for L21 to download?

Thanks
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] PandaEirfan118:
I don't sure whether L21 ROM works for AL10.

Honor 7x has for regions: China (AL10/TL10), Europe (L21), India (L22) and United States (L24/Mate SE).

L21 ROM works well in Asia countries, as I'm living in Malaysia.

Thank you.

Hello everyone !

I just inherited an Honor 7x (BND-L21) from a friend and was trying to root it but I'm a bit lost :

I managed to unlock my bootloader with PotatoNV but I'm stuck at the ramdisk.img flashing step.

I'm trying to install Magisk as explained here (minus the custom repo step) and I can't seem to find the last version of my firmware on https://pro-teammt.ru/online-firmware-database-ru

My firmware is BND-L21 9.1.0.164(C432E2R1P1patch01) but I can only find the BND-L21 9.1.0.141(C432E2R1P1) in that database. I found the BND-L21 9.1.0.164(C432E2R1P1) on some obscure websites, but I don't trust them as I don't know their reputation.

Should I try flashing a custom firmware (as there are a bunch of recent CUST firmwares on pro-teammt.ru) ? I've never done that so I'm not sure on how to do it, and at which step.

Should I first downgrade my firmware to the 9.1.0.141 version ? Would I be able to update again via OTA afterwards ?

Thanks a lot for every helper on that website, the time you use to answer our questions is very appreciated.

EDIT : There's the BND-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.164 firmware but I'm not sure it is suited for an Honor 7x. And the download links all seem dead anyway so I'm stuck with no idea where to download a firmware I can trust...

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CodeXter:
Dear Community,

I just searched the past 2 days for a solution but I've not been lucky :(

Therefore I'd like to ask for help in this forum and hope there is some additional hint or hack I could try...:

So here's the situation:

OnePlus 5T (8/128) with a non booting or not "useful" OS (see last point what I've tried)

No TWRP or CWM

Stock Recovery present

Bootloader Locked

Allow Bootloader to be unlocked = FALSE

What I've already tried yet:

Flashing TWRP --> Not possible Bootloader Locked

Flashing regarding any other kinds like "update" or "flash all" as provided with TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE

ADB Sideload any available ROMS (Original "full" OP5T / FreedomOS / Omni8) --> ADB stops at 47% in Stock Recovery regardless of size of the ZIP file

Tried different versions of ADB (32 & 64 Bit / older & new / also with the LargeAddressAware approach / and on multiple PC's) --> Always same error (47%)

Stumbled upon the possibility to EmergencyDownload a factory flash due to Qualcomm chipset using the MSM-Download-Tool --> Only OnePlus 5 ROM available (no "T")

Mentioned EDL procedure works and OS is booting BUT neither Touchscreen nor USB OTG (for external mouse support) is working --> So I can't navigate and allow Bootloader to be unlocked again

Unfortunately I'm now stuck and have no more idea how to unbrick my phone again :confused:

What would help:

Any source to MSM-Download-Tool packed with a correct ROM for the OnePlus 5T

A Workaround to just flash TWRP via MSM-Download-Tool or Qualcomm's QFIL application in EDL mode

Some "hack" to bypass the locked Bootloader situation

Every appreciated Input you might have that I'm currently not aware of...

So PLEASE let me know of any approach that I could try or if you might have found a link or something else to a solution that might help me out of this disaster...

Many thanks in advance!

Tryouts due to your feedback:

[MENTION=7053867]dreinulldrei[/MENTION] - "fastboot boot recovery.img" tried with the original 5T Recovery.img also with blu_spark TWRP --> no luck...

SOLVED SOLUTION:

As the EDL factory flash ROM is currently not (or will never officially be) available public

getting in contact with the OnePlus support team is required.

They have such a recovery tool (MSM-Download-Tool) with an appropriate ROM and are able to flash the device during a remote support session conducted via chat.

So by starting a chat on the OnePlus Support page and describing your situation will lead to scheduled time slot where a Level-2 technician will do all required steps remotely.

(All files are password protected and the technician ensures they are deleted at the end of the session so I'm unfortunately not able to provide the sources for DIY purposes...)

Following. I would think there would be some way to flash some sort of signed image via fastboot...
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
U flashed a 5 os to it, using the msmtool try to extract those files from 5t os, I will do it when I get home and so u can try it, i can't guarantee anything though, would u like me to do that for u
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CodeXter:
Thanks for your input - I'm really not aware of how to generate such *.ops ROM files as this is what the MSM Tool expects...

But if there is a way and you are able to extract and produce a MSM flashable file I would be very happy to try!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] dreinulldrei:
I would recommend trying to boot a OP5T recovery, you might have flashed some OP5 rom including OP5 recovery. Just go into fastboot (power on with volume up pressed down), then via cmd:

fastboot boot recovery.img

Since OP does not offer the recovery to be downloaded, it will need to be downloaded from a working device. Lacking the cable right where I am, but I am sure someone else can help out.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CodeXter:
Thanks for the input - I forgot to mention I also tried the 2 original available OP5T "full" ZIP ROM's (think they should be signed...)

Will add this to the initial Post but I assume also no chance here...
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CodeXter:
Ohhh good point - I also think there is the "wrong" recovery (from 5) currently on my phone (because also there the touchscreen behaves unexpectedly...)

But unfortunately with your command I get the "Your device is corrupted. It can't be trusted and will not boot" message.

Tried this with the original 5T Recovery.img I managed to obtain and also with the blu_spark TWRP - no luck...

You are going to have to submit a ticket, they will arrange a time to help you by unbricking the phone remotely.

Didn't thought that OnePlus Support Team would even care about such bricks (no warranty / own risk / "playing" with root / etc...)

But as indeed they seem to help like [MENTION=8772318]WMerkens[/MENTION] experienced I would be very happy to have a working device again :D
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] jerrywmilton:
don't know why you would think that OP wouldn't help...they have said from day one that unlocking/rooting does not void your warranty. Heck they encourage it. I assume you are the same person on the OP forum w/ this problem. Hopefully after you get this resolved you will have learned to NEVER EVER RELOCK your phone unless you do the whole factory image qualcomm recovery tool bit. and experienced OP folks on this forum know any claims of a "hardbricked" OP phone is ALWAYS not true.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] WMerkens:
How I bricked a 5t

I got the phone and I had installed twrp, that went fine. I was looking at magick systemless rooter when the phone then kicked in with a OTA update, I chose to ignore it the first time. It occurred again a few minutes and in my haste I let it do it's job but it did not complete correctly. I rebooted and the phone complained about corruption to the OS, I got in again but made the dumb mistake of re enabling the OEM lock and because I thought that might be causing the problem. I rebooted again but now I could not boot any more into the OS, it complained I was corrupted and go to google to see what to do.

So I was left with a bricked phone.

I could do bootloader but not recovery and I could not unlock the bootloader.

I could not get in via adb usb debug, So after much research I download the OnePlus 5 unbricking pack and learned a whole lot about qualicom and EDL mode, plus I learned a lot about the QFIL tools and restoring a phone. I did the 5 unbrick but my screen ended up upside down but the touch was right side up, which resulted in a very hard to use phone.

I tried the QFIL method but I was missing a mdb file to be able to talk to the phone.

So I gave up submitted a ticket and after much bad co-ordination on their part got a level 2 tech to debrick the phone remotely.

They do a reverse VPN and connect to your computer, they tell you to have 2 files archive ready in a folder on your desktop (they supply the links). They install the EDL driver and unpack the debrick archive. The archives are password protected, they run the tool and restore the phone

back to factory.

They erase the unpacked archives after they are done.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CodeXter:
Oh yes I've learned my lesson on this :angel: --> Never ever set OEM to be unlocked to NO again

Obviously I do not exactly know what wrong procedure made me stuck in this situation but I just wanted to revert every single step back one by one to see which element brings me back to a valid SafetyNet situation...

I've been with the OnePlus "family" since the OP1 but never needed any direct support from the vendor - so every time there's a first time and so for me now...

Thus I really didn't know OP staff is actively doing remote support for their devices - but thumbs up for that! :good:

(BTW: I'm not the guy from the OP forum)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] WMerkens:
Yes basically it's the same archive as the 5 unbrick pack but it's for 5t, OnePlus 5T OxygenOS 4.7.2-171116.zip is the archive and you can look in it and you see the ops file is for dumpling not cheesburger, which is the code name for 5t. I saw the MsmDownloadTool is 4.0.8
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CodeXter:
I just had a chat with them before and got mailed a link to the MSMTool incl. ROM for the OP5T (dumpling)

But unfortunatley support files from OnePlus are password protected :( Nevertheless here the original vendor link:

https://onepluscn-my.sharepoint.com/personal/sheva_liu_oneplus_net/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?docid=0fde9596c72744b4fb9c073ca5d87edbe&authkey=AQPXKRi7pdIzZX-5WH_pwWg&e=1030aa0046da4d1aa9189020027d9c93

So I have to wait for my remote support schedule on Saturday to have the L2 technician entering the password and do the rest.

Would be able to do this myself but OnePlus obviously wants to protect their sources what I have to accept, respect and be patient for...

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] jerrywmilton:
once you unlock it, LEAVE it unlocked....that message that pops up on boot telling you "can't read to check, corrupt file" blah blah, please relock bit is a bunch of HOGWASH ... don't fall for it.

Qualcomm should get some props too.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] dreinulldrei:
