Actually, what I really want to do is...

Actually, what I really want to do is...: install a different firmware.

I'm a real noob in the world of modding & custom rom.

As far as I understand, unlocking bootloader is required in order to install a different ROM: is it right? or can I install it somehow even with bootloader locked? Also, can I root the P8 without unlocking the bootloader?

My P8 is on the latest firmware I recently received OTR from Huawei: GRA-L09C02B405. The phone is starting to have some problems: hight battery drenage, UI freezing and rebooting from time to time.

I'd like to install a previous version of Huawei official firmware, or different a custom ROM (I read about some of them in this forum: any suggestion?). But as far a I understand, unlocking bootloader is required, and it seems that without the code from Huawei I'm blocked
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] lk1zhm:
Ik zit met de zelfde vraag, ook mijn P8 kan ik niet unlocken website van Huawei met deze optie is verdwenen.

I have the same question, also my P8 I can't unlock Huawei's website with this option is gone.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
You now have to contact Huawei and request it, providing IMEI, SN, Product Code, Model, and reason why you wish to unlock it.

Here is a link to contact the UK (most people say this is more successful than others) :- https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/contact-us/
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ModNoob33:
Thanks [MENTION=5658496]Sparkrite[/MENTION], I will try that way.

Can you help me also with my second post in this thread? I mean, do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a custom rom and / or to root the phone?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Paloik:
For both, yes, you need to unlock your phone. For rooting, you have to flash a new boot.img, and for a custom ROM you have to flash the system.img too.

Without the unlocked bootloader you are unable to flash the images /partitions
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
For both NO, however it tends to be a bit easier if the bootloader is unlocked. Some third party rooting apps may or may not work, depending on what version OS you have installed, without changing the recovery partition.

However it is usually easier to root by flashing with TWRP etc. which necessitates an unlocked bootloader to allow you to flash the said recovery.img and then flashing SU.zip for example.

The same goes for flashing a system.img ( does not need an unlocked bootloader ) eg. use fastboot mode and an ADB shell or even DLOAD if it has the correct signatures. The caveat is that most if not all custom ROMs use a proprietary boot.img so an unlocked BL will be required in this case.

Hope that clears it up for you.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Paloik:
Isn't it? Oh, damn, all time I thought it necessary to do this. Sorry :)
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ModNoob33:
I asked Huawei for the code, now I'm waiting for reply.

So, if I understand correctly, even without unlocking bootloader I should be able to flash a previous version of an official firmware, ain't it? I can consider that option if I don't get the code from Huawei

Thanks a lot, you are being really helpful
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
Bootloader unlocking is not needed for

upgrading

official firmware, unfortunately, normally it is a completely different matter when trying to

downgrade

.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ModNoob33:
So, it seems that I really need Huawei help to do something more or less useful for me. They made something such a "unhackable" phone which can be hacked only with their support. And more or less every other vendor I assume.

Quite weird I think.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
AFAIK Huawei are/were the only vendors that made it so easy to unlock the BL, esp. when their code generator was online.

Have you heard back from them yet, some people report getting the code within 12 hours ?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ModNoob33:
I got a first mail the day after I wrote, with them asking to add the reason for the code request.

This morning I answered them them that I wanted to play with root rights & custom rom, and that I was aware of the risks implied.

now (6 hours later) they sent me the code.

Quite a good support I'd say
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
Yes indeed, the reason why, as I said in my first post, wonder why they're interested ? :) :)

Any way you have it now, I assume it worked OK.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] freqzon:
"In response to your enquiry, we would like to inform you that the unlock code application service has ended, as of July 25th, 2018, to ensure user experience and safety. Moreover, unlocking the bootloader of a device voids the warranty and it wasn’t recommended since it was the source of multiple software issues due to unauthorized software modifications.

Huawei used to provide users with corresponding unlock codes to meet personalized requirements due to the usage of different ROMs, which is an extra service and does not belong to consumers' rights.

However, due to possible problems caused by unlocking your device (such as system built-in function failure, device freezing, and power consumption increase) we will no longer provide the code."

Huawei most definitely does not give out unlock codes anymore, now what?

I unlocked my phone and then rooted it through DC Unlocker. But it wasn't for free. Hd to make a transaction of 4 Eur to buy some credits but at least it works
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] hnfear:
i tried this: http://xdaforums.com/p8lite/general/alternative-method-unlocking-bootloader-t3799294 and it seems to work.

Phone Bootloader tells me that its unlocked. Try to flash a recovery now again, failed the first time.

Edit: got some bootloops and cant enter any recovery. i downgraded from MM to LP before. I should flash a MM Firmware next, maybe thats why. Heard that the TWRP Recovery was made from MM.

Downloaded a MM-FW and placed on a sdcard in dload folder.

But i cant enter this "Auto-Upgrade thingy" after i power on the device in cause of the bootloops. :(

ADB works fine when the phone fully boots the LP-Android. And i can reboot, enter bootloader, etc.

To do list:

1. stay calm..

2. get a MM-stock-recovery

3. ....

Edit 2: Hilarious. Flashed a LP stock recovery.img so the phone works like oem. Then, my bootloader was unlocked already, flashed twrp. Backup, install new Nougat Rom. Works like a charm. Muchas kudos to the guy from the Thread i mentioned above! Saved me 4 $, yeah! :D
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] CaptainExp:
okay so i see this i looked in the thread above that you gave me but can you tell me in simple ways what to do? i have minimal adb and fastboot, i have a lollipop rom donwloaded on an SD card, how can i downgrade and how can i unlock it ?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] hnfear:
[MENTION=7814105]CaptainExp[/MENTION]

Sure, i can try. Have to reproduce this in my head, because was not my phone.

Now in my opinion, you dont even have to downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop for unlocking, but thats a guess!! I did, i wanted root first. Works very well with Kingoroot.

If you have access via ADB, congratulation, you can use the method described in the Link. I can quote this for others here in this Thread if its allowed.

My 2 cents: you can use one of both type of recoveries, the EXT4-one or TWRP. In TWRP you dont have to manually flash a boot.img (extracted from the .zip ROM) if you use a AOSP ROM like Lineage.

Cheers and happy unlocking!

HUAWEI Isn't giving an Unlock Code for any Device since an Year in Germany!

I would like to install Costum Recovery and Costum Rom with Magisk and Root phone than.

On my Huawei P10Lite (WAS-LX1) Emui & Android 8

But with locked bootloader I would get problems I think... Soft brike or something... Right?

I only Rooted and Installed Costum Recoverys and Roms on Samsung S5(KLTE, and Neo Device) thei have an Unlocked Bootloader.

I don't wanna Hard/Soft-Brike my Device so is their another Chance to Unlock the Bootloader or Install Costum Recovery and give Flash Rights? For flashing Rom and Root it by Flashing Magisk after it?

Hi all,

I recently got the new HP iPAQ 614c. The 'c' stands for 'camera'. Although it should stand for 'crappy'.

My question : on the phone, the camera app says 'ArcSoft version 2.0.0.9'. Now i would like to know if the HTC camera soft (5.0.4.2915) will run on the iPAQ. Is it also provided by ArcSoft ? Will it give problems regarding the non-presence of a second camera ?

TIA,

Dirk

*****EDIT*****

Solved.... The core application from the HTC Camera 5.* IS the same ArcSoft 2.0.0.9 as is used on the HP. No extra's like GPS photo though .

what rom are you using to get those screen on times?

I usually get 6hrs to 8hrs screen on time, medium to heavy usage. have tried this on xiaomi.eu and LineageOS. maybe there's something wrong with my battery?

I am using Resurrection Remix (https://xdaforums.com/mi-max-2/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-5-t3717030). I use only build in battery saver.

However, I was getting more or less the same with Xiaomi.eu.

See battery stats of your phone for reasons to consume battery. Wakelock Detector app is also good in finding problems.

By the way, if you have Facebook or Facebook Messenger installed, there is your reason for poor battery life. They monitor your every action and send to their servers, which takes all the battery.

I'm sorry, I didnt understand. Do you mean the "battery saving profile" in lineageos? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Guides, News, & Discussion] wwwwe:
Sorry for being unclear. I have battery optimizations enabled for most apps (which are enabled by default) for Settings-Battery-Battery Optimization.

By the way, another battery affecting factor might be that I spend most of my time within range of WiFi. I have WiFi always enabled. I do not have GPS enabled, just network location. No Bluetooth.

Hello everyone, I use Sony Xperia Z1 and I need to root my device correctly. Once I tried to root the mobile with KingRoot rooting application. The root completed successfully but in few seconds the mobile goes shutdown but it was fully charged. Then I tried to switch on the device but unable to start. I connected the charger but my Xperia Z1 did not display even charging. Then I broke the seal and remove the back cover and then the battery. Then reconnect the battery and connected to the charger again. After that, the smartphone started but it discharged in a short time. Then I removed all files related to the root but the matter did not change. Then I changed the battery and now the mobile runs without admin privileges. I need to know how to root my Xperia Z1 correctly and what are the requirements/tools. Please reply someone who can help for this matter.:confused:

Same here

I'm having the same issue. I assume either a system update or an APP update at some point will allow them to work. I should note:

1. I have Wifi-only device

2. I have an SD card. I've tried moving to internal vs on the card, as well as clearing cache, clearing data, and reinstalling. My guess it is the slightly different firmware on the wifi.
[Planet Gemini PDA Themes, Apps, and Mods] fretinator:
Working now

I reformatted and reloaded Android due to Linux started locking up when device was idle. This time I left the SD Card as external storage only and the MS apps are now working. For some reason they didn't like the SD card formatted as shared internal storage, even though I had the MS apps installed internally. Hope this helps.
