There hasn't been anyone who has found any firmware for honor 7x that works in dload mode. Except for the "Service-Rom" found on 4pda
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
For everyone who has HCU not working, it is because of a certain C++ Redsitributable that it requires and here is the solution:

1. Get the file from this link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1nFbOg2IRe8MjA2OWZmOWMtMGQ2ZC00MmVmLWI1ZjUtNTcxNTNmNjcyZTIy/view (This is just some BlackBerry software, don't worry. I don't know for how long this will be hosted )

2. Run the file and it will tell you that windows needs additional version of C++ Redistributable in order to complete the setup. Just install the C++ Redistributable and exit the setup, no need to continue.

3. Success, now HCU starts normally and the error is gone.

Give me build number
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
The service rom build number?

Or my device number?

I have been searching for versions that work with dload along with few others in telegram device support channel.

For builds.

BND-L21-C185

-432

BND-AL10-C675( BND-L22)

BND-L24-C567

BND-L34-C567

This service rom so far has been only thing we found that will load with three button method (dload)

But it is not a full rom to keep on device. It needs you to follow up with flashing fullOTA of your correct version after.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964

1. Unzip download

2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard

3. power on phone holding all three buttons

4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed

5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.

Here's the story, I got my unlock code before Huawei finally decided to stop giving out unlock codes for their devices. Now that Im decided to give rooting and flashing a shot. Am i still able to unlock my bootloader? Also, is there a way to unlock without wiping my data?

Unable to unlock X7

Hi, I followed your instructions until the end but am unable to get the unlock code.

HCU and DC-Unlocker both tell me the chipset is not supported while they are able to read the rest of the information just fine. Anyone might have a tip?

Running Win10 and tested Win7-8 to no avail.

Fastboot

I couldn't get my new updated device to enter Fastboot mode with key shortcuts. So I found an alternative way to enter Fastboot mode.

1. Have phone on and enable debugging as usual.

2. Connect to PC. And connect using ' adb devices ' - make sure device is detected.

3. If device is connected with adb then type ' adb reboot bootloader '

4. Phone will reboot into fastboot mode!
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Some newer models and updated builds are not yet supported. I am in the same boat as you, as my v10 is giving error for not supported chipset

Thank you

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] opasha:
No clue. It's not supported yet. Huawei refused though from a member's recent email to give the bootloader unlock code. So, basically no hope except DC unlocker. Even with DC unlocker, there's no development. Majority of us chose the Mi Max 3 over the Honor Note 10 for this reason alone.

I've used DC Unlocker about 3 years ago to unlock a friend's Huawei phone, because I needed to do this fast and I couldn't wait for Huawei to give me the unlock codes days or weeks after that. The Huawei company deserves the middle finger for locking the bootloader with a code. Other Chinese phone manufacturers don't do that, you don't need any code to unlock bootloader. Shame on Huawei!

It worked for my P10 Lite (WAS-LX1).

I had a problem at first when the program didn't want to runt because of random windows message (error 0xc0150002 or something) but the solution was to install the 32-bit (x86) version of VC2008, at first I installed the 64 bit version but that did not work.

I was excited to see this. It took me a few to get credits but finally did. got the application to run. DC-unlocker... error 375. HCU... not supported. It's a BND-L24 honor 7x shows listed as supported device. I had seem somewhere that it might be because of oreo? has anyone tried factory reset and downgrade and then tried to read code? I don't wanna ask for a refund yet in case I can get it working.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] twfs:
Did you update HCU and be sure to turn off your antivirus when it updates or it will trip it and not download. That is the same model of phone I unlocked with the Oreo update just a couple weeks ago so unless they changed something since then you should be able to unlock it
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] syph0r:
It is updated. And antivirus didn't get triggered. It detects phone no problem. But when I click read unlock code I get "unsupported chipset" even tho it's on the list as supported devices. Tried with hcu and DC-unlocker applications. DC gives "unknown error 375" (I think I remember correctly). I saw on some forum I believe that it said it was an issue with Oreo. My phone did an update (C567) a few days ago and I wonder if that screwed it up to be not unlockable. I would really like to get rid of emui lol
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] thelastlokean:
I have the same issue, also on C567... So depressing.

Anyone have a good direction on how to downgrade an OTA update, I believe if we can go back one from C567 we should be able to unlock the bootloader without issue with the DC-Unlocker approach.

Otherwise, I guess we are waiting for DC-Unlocker to update or spending way too much money on chimera license?

Any thoughts on other options or approaches?

I hope all this nonsense impacts Huawei sales enough for them to revisit the idea of not supporting bootloader unlocks...
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] syph0r:

Ah ya I found that one too, the instructions are kind of confusing though, they say to download both zip files but in method 1 and 2 it only seems to refer to one single zip file, extracting the update.app file into a dload folder in root. Which zip file is it referring to since they both have the update file
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
There is official way to downgrade

Using hi-suite. But downgrade not needed to get D-Link to work.

Here is official directions from dc-unlocker, and 7x is a supported device.

https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] cdmanproductions:
i know how to use dc-unlocker, the problem is it has an error when you try to read the bootloader code, and according to online it means it not supported, me and i belive the other person are thinking it has to do with the newest software version that our phones got updated to might be causeing the error.

im not an expert by any means thats just what ive come to understand.

please correct me if im wrong, ive deleted and redownloaded both hcu and dc-unlocker made sure they were on the newest updates and they still have to same error.

how do you officially downdrade using hi-suite, ive looked all through the app and cant figure it out.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Use firmware finder desktop app, locate downgrade package(update) for your model. Selected it for download and register it .

Change your PC dns address to the one the app says to. Then connect hi-suite fo search for update. It will find the one you set to firmware finder dns and install.

Find out more with Google.

Search "downgrade hauwei with hi-suite"

Here is YouTube video that came up #1 in results list.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] cdmanproductions:
hmm, i followed the video, i got the correct version of hisuite but it doesnt seem to work, still says ive got the newest update even though im trying to downgrade. ive got windows 10
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
We are continuing to go off topic for the purpose of this thread. But .........whatever.

The video days to use firmware finder , register for update and change your dns address. You commented you used latest hi-suite but nothing about the rest of the steps.

Again others have received unlock codes from dc-unlocker with Oreo, so try more research. Ask on dc-unlocker forum. (That is best ) .
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] cdmanproductions:
ya i followed the video exactly, getting the version of hisuite it said to get in the video.

anyways ill figure it out, maybe its just me or maybe i do have an unsupported version of oreo who knows.

thanks
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] thelastlokean:
Thanks for the responses everyone!

Being as every method of downgrading I saw initially requires an unlocked bootloader to proceed I was feeling a dead end.

It seems it can be done with the hisuite method linked with a locked device. I'll try rolling back to the first Oreo OTA and see if I can get it to unlock afterwards. I believe the newest security update blocked the method being used to pull the bootloader. It may also have blocked magisk. (There is a post about a security update breaking magisk compatibility somewhere on XDA.)

I'd be more concerned about trying to go back to nougat as the change from nougat to Oreo includes partition changes etc. Assuming it is less risky to roll back a smaller security update staying within the same version of android.

I am using a bnd-l34 mate se.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] stingwraith:
I'm super glad they've now decided to once again offer bootloader unlock codes:) Get 'em while they're hot I guess:P
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] syph0r:
Same they said to me they don't give them out under any circumstances. But I had seen people post that they had. So I'm frustrated. I just want to be able to unlock my bootloader and DC-unlocker just doesn't work for me
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] syph0r:
so I got it to downgrade and read the bootloader code, and then unlock. I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure how I did it. I had two different files on my SDcard but I'm not sure which one worked. I found a service ROM and I think that was what did it? or it was the update.zip I found. But this method does work. I wish I had paid more attention to which file it was. If you'd like more information you can message me and I'll point you to where I went, and hopefully you can get it working too

Is there any method for unlock the Bootloader without payment
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ibrahim Badran:
I'm already contact with them with phone and they didn't approve provide it
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] thelastlokean:
I pulled it off! I have unlocked my bootloader on my Mate SE BND-L34. Figures, the day I got around to it, Huawei would decide to start supporting bootloader unlocks again. I'll add the details of how I got this to work, just in case Huawei flakes out again.

DC-Unlocker and HCU don't appear to work with the newest OTA updates. But they do work with Oreo, at least the initial releases.

I downgraded to build BND-L34CC567B330 (8.0.0.330), from 04/15/18, which I got from Firmware Finder.

I used the DNS work around method, built into Firmware Finder, which requires a specific and older version of HiSuite be installed. In this manner you are downgrading with Hi Suite with a locked bootloader and no TWRP.

After the downgrade, my phone rebooted and gave some error prompting a factory reset. After the reset and initial setup, I got the bootloader code from HCU client without any issues.

At this point I'm going to install TWRP and Magisk, all I really wanted is root. I might play with custom roms in the future, but I actually enjoy EMUI 8. Just want some of the bloatware gone and controller mapping.

Honor-L09

Guys a stupid question works with Honor 9 with Android 8
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
I've got two Mate SEs that my sons (late teens) use. They both are running the latest OTA. I don't have any immediate desire to root then (I have my own device for that - a Pixel XL), but I wouldn't mind unlocking the bootloader in case. I completed the Google Docs form to get the unlock, but since nobody has heard anything I am contemplating paying the couple of bucks for the DC unlock. Even if they do start issuing the unlock codes for the Honor devices for XDA, there was never an official word on how many they would issue, how long it would take and if the Mate SE is even eligible since it isn't technically an Honor device.

If anyone has answers to my questions, that would be great. Mostly, I would like to know if the DC method requires a rollback and what the method is to do so.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Criston:
that was only for honor devices and the update on that is that they will start sending codes in batches from 25th September to the end of the year
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Thanks! The last time I read the main thread about the XDA/Honor unlock requests, the info about sending from Sept 25 through EOY had not been posted yet. Recent posts do mention that a roolback will be necessary as well. Since it would be necessary for the official Honor unlock, I suspect the DC method would require it as well. Which brings me to a new question/issue... I started to look at the DC method and when I DL and extracted the .zipped HCU-Client file from https://hcu-client.com/ it showed that it had a trojan. Searching for any definitive information that there is no real trojan and that it is in fact a false positive hasn't provided much.

Honor 7x - dc-unlocker

Been perusing this and other sites trying to get a feel for what, if anything, I can do to root my Honor 7x BND-L24 8.0.0.341. Still not sure, though. If I had been looking before I got my phone I never would have upgraded to Oreo--dc-unlocker site says they're not sure if their tool will work on Oreo devices. On a side note, I read somewhere that someone had to use Windows 7 in VM mode (vice Win10) to get dc-unlocker to work. Whatever.

Seems my best option is to downgrade (at least to the initial Oreo upgrade--there have been 2 updates since) unless it is possible to downgrade to Nougat???, then use dc-unlocker to get unlock code--but the downgrade process sounds like a pain, and a risk, so I would like to try unlock without downgrade.

My question is this: Will I need to buy another 4 credits from dc-unlocker if I fail to unlock while in Oreo, then downgrade to Nougat? Btw, I'm asking this question at dc-unlocker as well as another tech forum. (I know it's only $5, but it's the principle of the thing ?)

Also, any other help is much appreciated.
