Step 2 : Unlocking Bootloader on Xperia S
Step 2 : Unlocking Bootloader on Xperia S
Procedure To Unlock Bootloader of Sony Xperia S LT26i :
1.) Installation of Fastboot USB Drivers (Xperia S)​2.) Unlocking Bootloader of Xperia S​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, We Will Unlock The Bootloader,
Why to Unlock Bootloader?
1.) You can flash custom ROMs/Kernels
2.) You don't need to worry if the new firmware can be rooted or not as with unlocked bootloader u can always ROOT Your device
[ Before We Begin Unlocking Bootloader ]
Get the IMEI code for ur device: type *#06# in phone dialer to find it out, note only the digits (no dashes)
Make Sure The Fastboot Drivers Are Installed.
Make sure u have a windows PC with USB cable to connect the phone
Power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows
Will start driver installation, extract the above package and point the driver install to that location (usb_driver) folder
Once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device.
[ How to Unlock ] (Official Way)
Video Link ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA
For better understanding, I highly recommend you to watch the above video along with the instructions below:
1.) Download ‘Fastboot Drivers And Pacakges File For Xperia S’ file from → Here
2.) Extract the file you downloaded above on your PC. You’ll get the following three files:
drivers.zip
fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.zip
3.) Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and read everything!
This will open a web page in your default browser. Scroll to the bottom of the Instructions on the page and you’ll see a link like “Continue”, click on it.
In the pop-up window click “Yes, I’m sure” and then in the next window click on both the checkboxes, and then click “I accept”.
4.) Now insert the details as per the instructions:
First 14 digits of your IMEI No. Do NOT enter the last digit (15th) in the box. To know your IMEI No. dial *#06# on your Xperia Arc.
Your Name
Your Email Address
Click Submit.
5.) You’ll get a KEY to unlock boot loader. Write it down somewhere you can remember, it will be used later.
6.) Switch off your phone.
7.) Now extract the “fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.zip” file you got in Step 2.2.
8.) Pick up your phone (it must be switched off) and hold the “Menu” button (the key at the bottom right of your phone), now while holding the “Menu” button connect your phone to your PC with an USB cable.
9.) Once connected — the LED light near the phone’s USB plug will turn blue. If it doesn’t — repeat the Step 8.
10.) Now to install the drivers do the following:
Extract the “drivers.zip” file you got in Step 2.1
Open “Device Manager” on your PC and look for “S1Boot Fastboot” under the head “Other devices”
Right-click on “S1Boot Fastboot” and select “Update Driver Software…”
Now select “Browse my computer for driver software” and select the folder where you’ve extracted all the three files you got in Step 2. Once done — click Ok.
Now click Next (Make sure you’ve ticked the “Include subfolders” checkbox).
If you see any Windows security warning box, don’t worry . Just select “Install this driver software anyway”
Wait for “Windows has successfully updated your driver software” message to appear on your screen. Now click Close.
11.) Open the “fastboot” folder from the file we extracted in Step 7.
12.) Now hold Shift and press mouse right click (Shift + Mouse Right Click) anywhere on the empty white space inside the “fastboot” folder. And then select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
13.) Now in the command prompt window type/paste the following:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version​
14.) It should return a value like “0.3”. This ensures that your device is correctly connected.
15.) Now type/paste the following line in the command prompt window:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY​
IMPORTANT! Replace the word “KEY” from the above line with the KEY that you received in Step 5. Then Hit Enter.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
16.) Now wait for the process to complete. Command prompt will show a “Finished” message when it will be completed.
17.)Once it’s done, disconnect the USB cable from your phone and switch it ON.
18.)Your phone’s boot loader should now be Unlocked.

Troubleshooting
If you experience a bootloop (phone constantly reboots and reboots on the boot screen) or a soft brick (powering on the phone shows an orange triangle with a phone and computer), don’t be afraid. XDA to the rescue!
For a bootloop:
Hold The Power Button And Volume Up Button
If You Hold For 3 Seconds = Soft Reset = 1 Viberation
If You Hold For 10 Seconds = Hard Reset = 3 Viberations***
Power on the Phone Again, Keep pressing Volume Up Button
Your phone will boot into recovery.
Select “Wipe data/ Factory reset”. (Volume Up for going up and Volume down to go down)
After the reset is done, select “Reboot system now”.
The phone will reboot and you should be all fine.
***Do Not Try Hard Reset Untill And Unless The Phone is Facing Major Problems,
For a soft brick:
You probably flashed some faulty firmware or firmware not meant for your device.
The File You Downloaded Must Be Incomplete.
Download the correct firmware and flash again.

Hi, I searched a lot for the way to flash a custom rom on my Xperia S. But now halfway through, I've got a problem. My device says it does not allow to unlock bootloader, so does that mean that there is no way I can flash a custom rom on my phone? :crying:

You cannot flash .zip files using flashtool. You can flash only Firmwares or kernel files using flashtool.

Wait i will let you know the complete story.
so what happened is
first i was on CM11 for few mnths then switched to MIUIv5 for 1 month. everything was working fine
but when day before yesterday i flashed PA rom i am not able to access the recovery now (previously there was TWRP in my XS). now i can't flash any zip file
when i reboot to recovery it gets stuck on black blank screen. Even the recovery apps like twrp are not working. when i tried to install recovery through app, the app crashes.
As recovery is not working i cant even switch to other roms or any zip file.
i am totally stuck on this ROM
i asked this que on sony mobile group on FB (created by some sony fans), one of the member said "probably this is not ROM fault but the kernel fault. consider trying new kernel"

Ah yes, even that one doesn't have recovery.
Unlocked bootloader is must.
You need an Android app. You can find the app here. Also, here is the page of the twrp.
What You need to do is, download the twrp from here. Rename it to fotakernel.img .
Then copy it to Your sdcard.
Then run the following commands on the terminal emulator app:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
TWRP installed!

Are you sure this works i mean there are thousands of threads regarding this issue but none of them work..Can someone with CN version confirm the working of this method....

I bought phone on Aliexpress website. Phone has WW OTA but update via Wi-Fi was impossible. Firmware was 13.40.13 so i think people with that firmware had CN version at start, then sellers updated it to 13.40.13 WW and sended to buyers. Following my method you can update to the latest WW.

Works fine. We've published a similar method. I recommend using the latest rooted ROM. Note, your LTE 4G bands won't be changed with this method.
Have written out the steps in detail for novice users. Includes setting up adb etc: http://www.chinaphonearena.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10253

I agree.
But your method is only for pre-rooted system.img with 2.13.40.13 firmware.
I posted method for full OTA firmware upgrade.
Yes, it is similar )

The method posted can be done with any system.img (don't have to use rooted ROM), there's no need to do the OTA update as its already the latest ROM (though it will be compatible with future OTA updates, thanks to the ROM creator), and you end up rooted.
They are essentially the same, except for flashing system.img at fastboot instead of doing OTA update. Take your pick. If not caring about root, your method is certainly quicker, as there's no need to DL the huge system.img file.

Thanks. Much appreciated

confirmed works fine on a rooted CN version
Hi,
I followed all the steps and apart from thinking I'd bricked it (the system update screen was sat with the blue bar unmoved for 15 minutes) . It's just completed perfectly.
Really great advice - thanks - I got 2 of these handsets yesterday via ebay both came rooted and it turns out they are CN models but had WW software on them - as per your model - prior to reading your post I was probably going to try and send them back.
I hope and presume for future updates I can continue to use this method?
will do 2nd one now.
Cheers
Ian

Thanksssssssssssssssssssss
Honestly, last time that I tried to have a custom ROM or in any other words, last time I installed and used ( I'm still using it) it was on my samsung galaxy tab(the first galaxy tab of all time) two years ago!
At first I was puzzled in all of these forum pages. I started to change my CN rom to WW Rom yesterday at 2 o'clock. Since I started this process, I just ate dinner and slept for 5 hours. The rest of the time I was trying to install 7 different roms which are available in this forum or asus zenfone forum by 3 different methods of loading a ROM! NONE OF THEM WORKED CORRECT AND COMPLETELY. so I had to start again and read. I can easily say that I've read more than a fat ass book for this process (most of them were duplicates, but I was looking for s.th new among them...)
Your method worked just nolw (@ 1 pm) and I'm really thankful. Honestly I was so bumped and I was thinking to send this device back, just an hour ago I saw your way for the second time and I just decided to try this time as the last way, before returning it!! thank u again for giving me a zenfone
keep up the good work

Confirmed ok on 2nd handset - red CN model 32gb 4gb ram.
It has removed the root access though... Supersu app has gone. and Root checker confirms not rooted.
Which is ok because I can now use Skygo app on the phone - really wasn't expecting that to work!

Thanks guys for good news that it work for you too. I hope that TUT will help others to get rid of 13.40.13 which drain battery as $%^&. Without root it's hard for efficient battery save but atm i use battery doctor from G market and I need to say after 4h it drained 3% battery with turned WiFi. I just wait for proper root tutorial.

Hello,
Im stuck at no.5, sorry to ask but I don't know what you mean by phone root storage and where it is found.
Can you help please

He means the base of your SD card. Don't copy the OTA into a folder on SD. Copy it to the base of the SD.

with my cable still connected and fastboot still open?
Because I have put it in the sd card nothing happen

Reboot the phone. You should get an OTA update notification. Or boot into recovery and apply the update from there.

As far as steps, I can only speak of the ZE551ML. Start with an unrooted OS.
1.) Download the ADB and Fastboot tools from google (see links above). Download the pre-rooted from from shakalaca in post #1 (If you download the 200MB split version, Windows File Explorer will allow you to open the .zip and copy the .img file out.)
2.) Download the stock full ROM WW_2.15.40.10 directly from support.asus.com
3.) Plug the phone into the PC via USB and copy the UL-Z00A-WW-2.15.40.10-user.zip onto the phone.
4.) The phone will notify you that there is an update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5.) When you select the notification you will be prompted of which file to use in the update:
6.) Hit OK and the phone will reboot and update everything it needs to update per ASUS. (This will include the fastboot/droidboot image, boot, recovery, system, silentlake, and modem firmware.)
7.) Once the update has completed, unplug and power off the phone.
8.) While holding volume up, press the power button until the phone vibrates. At this point release the power button but keep holding the volume up button until the screen flickers to the fastboot menu. Release the volume button when the screen flickers.
9.) Plug the phone back into your computer, open a command prompt and navigate to where you extracted the google tools and the system.img.
10.) Run:
fastboot devices
11.) You should see a your device listed, if you do not, your device is not in fastboot mode.
12.) Assuming you see your device listed in Step 10, run:
fastboot flash system system.img
This will erase your current system partition and then start writting the new image to the partition. Fastboot will split the system.img file into ruffly 500MB chucks and send them to your device.
13.) Once its finished, you can select boot normally on your phone by pressing the power button or run:
fastboot reboot[/QUOTE]

An Android update to 5.0.2 was released about a month ago that has made my phone run very slow and a fix has still not been released. I also have yet to receive a response from BLU support on what my options are. Prior to the update, the phone ran considerably better and now get hung up while performing mild multi-tasking such as switching between SMS and Facebook. Performing a Factory reset down not roll back the android version. I am trying to find an older android version but am not having much luck. All help is appreciated.

Dude I'm just happy you responded to me about your backup. I almost gave up on this phone because i looked everywhere on the internet and it seemed as if the phone didn't exist to a stock ROM. Like i said before... I have twrp and root and no OS and just needed someone to make a backup using twrp so I can install it on my phone or at least find a stock one that I can use with twrp. Luckily you came thru and thank you for your response. Hopefully I don't have to use this cheapo (second phone) for long.

did a lot of reading .... to find out it was only a corrupt boot image ... I was only getting TWRP recovery to load.
after reading About ADB and FASTBOOT
I learned how to flash the boot image , but first i need the ADB driver install on my PC.
Im not good at writing directions , but i took notes.... also was able to make back ups of all partitions.... We really only need to fix the ones we over written ... In my case was only boot image and recovery image.... my system was in tack..
thank you for inspiring me to go the distance.... I learned alot.

I must say i'm glad you got your phone back up and running..........
I know i put together a wild combo of files in the zip file..........
I hope it wasn't to hard to figure out......
. I labeled them the best i could.......
I can now flash upgrade with adb commands..... I don't need TWRP ,, its nice to know it works
The one thing I read is the most important is making a nandroid backup... all partitions in one Image file

Nice

T-Mobile LG G3 D851 30D​
This thread covers various methods of installing both stock and stock rooted Marshmallow 6.0 30D onto the T-Mobile LG G3 D851.​​
Information:
30D is the first official Marshmallow Android 6 update for the T-Mobile LG G3.
It was first released in KDZ form the morning of April 27 2016.
Official update methods include both an OTA update from 20G to 30D and a KDZ update through the LG Mobile Support Tool.
The bootloader is still unlocked with no sort of OEM Unlock toggle. Still no bootloader/fastboot mode.
Kingroot can temp-root 30D! At least 1 Marshmallow build will always have root. Not very secure... but good for modders.
Android Version: 6.0
Android security patch level: 2016-04-01
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00114-M8974AAAAANPZM-1.43646.2
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: MRA58K
Software version D85130d
Security software version: MDF v1.1 Release 2
Install Directions:
OTA:
When the software update is available, the update icon will display in the status bar at the top of the screen.
Swipe down from the top and tap the notification.
Restart & Install
Note: If prompted, connect to a Wi-Fi network to download the software update.
Your device will restart to perform the update.
When the update is complete, your phone will restart and transition through a series of alerts stating "Android is upgrading".
Once your phone has powered on you will be notified that the software update successfully installed. Tap "OK" to close the notification.
Troubleshooting
If you have not been notified of an available software update, you can manually check if one is available.
From the Home Screen, tap Apps > Settings > General Tab > About phone
System updates > Check now to manually check for a new update.
You will be prompted if a new software update is available.
LG Mobile Flash Tool:
Click here to download the LG Mobile Support Tool to your computer, then open.
Connect your phone to your PC.
Tap Start Upgrade within the LG Mobile Support Tool to begin.
Device will progress through Analysis, Download, Update and Complete during the update process.
While updating, the device will power off and enter a download mode at 5% completion. This is normal. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE!
At approx 95% of completion, the device will power on. This may take several minutes. This is normal. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE!
If your software update stops before it has completed, please do not close the update tool and try the update again. Additional troubleshooting steps are below.
The tool will notify you when the update is complete. Tap Exit to return to the main screen.
Wait for device to power on. Once powered on, the device will reconnect to the LG Mobile Support Tool. When connected, observe that the version number reflects the latest Software D85110r. It is now OK to DISCONNECT THE USB CABLE.
Troubleshooting
If the phone software upgrade stopped before completion, please do not close the update tool and try to update again following original instructions.
If you already closed the update tool, and the phone will not turn on normally, please follow the steps below:
Remove back cover and battery.
Record IMEI/ESN/MEID from device label in battery well.
Replace battery and back cover.
Open LG Mobile Support Tool.
Connect the device to PC via USB cable.
From the drop down menu, select Options > Upgrade Recovery.
Enter your phone information and tap OK
After checking the phone information, it will start to update automatically. If it does not work, the device may require service to attempt recovery.
TWRP + Flashable-ZIPs:
These directions should be used by anyone who already has TWRP installed on their D851.
I used the latest TWRP 3.0 build @ https://dl.twrp.me/d851/
Don't want root? Then it's probably easiest to just flash the stock KDZ using LGUP.. or just skip the SuperSu steps.
1. Download the following 3 files and place them on the internal or external sdcard:
a. LG-D85130D-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip
b. LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip
c. SuperSU 2.65 or higher. [STABLE] or [BETA] Thanks to Chainfire!​2. (re)Boot into TWRP if not there already.
3.* Backup current partitions: boot, system, data, efs (backing up anything is optional but suggested)
4.* Up to you if you want to wipe data (TWRP > Wipe > Swipe slider) but not needed if coming from a stock rom.
5. Install the 3 zip files you put on your sdcard, 1 at a time:
a. LG-D85130D-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
b. LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
c. SuperSU zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)​
After zips finish flashing you can reboot! If TWRP asks if you want to install SU, hit no. If TWRP says No OS installed, ignore it.
Alternatively, if you are already on 30D already without root and want root/TWRP you can use Kingroot.
Click the button below to display how-to steps...
1. Download the latest Kingroot APK here.
2. Install Kingroot and get temproot with it.
3. Download TWRP @ https://dl.twrp.me/d851/ and download LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip linked below.
4. Enable USB Debugging on your D851 and connect your device to the computer and run the following commands to install TWRP.
Code:
adb push LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip /sdcard/
adb push twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-3.0.0-0-d851.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery
[if no computer]
d/l TWRP n Boo Repack onto phone n move it to root of internal storage.
Run the su, dd and reboot commands above in terminal emulator.
5.* Backup current partitions: boot, system, data, efs (backing up anything is optional but suggested)
6.* Up to you if you want to wipe data (TWRP > Wipe > Swipe slider) but not needed if coming from a stock rom.
7. Install the 2 zip files you put on your sdcard, 1 at a time:
a. LG-D85130D-Flashable.Boot-AUTOREPACK.zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)
b. SuperSU zip (Install > select zip > swipe to confirm/flash)​

Hello- I am currently using the D851 T Mobile version in New Zealand on Vodafone and all is well. The phone is obviously unlocked.
If I flash this update will I still be unlocked afterwards ?
Thanks To all, LL13-

Hi there. Great work! Quick question though. If I have stock lollipop and it doesn't have root/twrp. The steps to do this would be to root first -> install twrp -> and then follow the steps?
Thanks,

@autoprime
As always your work here is appreciated, thank you for the posting, this will benefit everyone.

@autoprime - awesome work, thanks so much!
A couple suggestions/notes, dunno if ypu want to put this in the OP for some people.
1. If you've encrypted your phone, you'll need to unencrypt first.
2. If you have Xposed installed, uninstall it before you start.
My phone feels new with this update, it's great.

Anyone updated please tell me knock code security with 6 taps or 3 taps like 20G? Thanks

If I am currently on CM13, besides the radio, can I flash bootloader and boot? If so which boot?
Thanks for the help.

[HONOR 6x EMUI 8.X Oreo] Installing EMUI 8.X on Honor 6X EMUI 5.X and RAM extend via SD Card

My problem is that I can't run correctly LineageOS on Honor 6x, and I didn't know how to run it properly, and I still don't know how to do it because I got bootloop, even if I factory reset...
=> For future people who still want to know how I switch Honor 6x on EMUI 5.X to EMUI 8.X, I write just below the full step and problems that I met during this process (But I think there is already some thread that talk about this.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Installing EMUI 8.X Oreo from scratch on a Honor 6x running with the EMUI 5.X Nougat
First of all, I have to thanks @Djiban that help me for the first step ✌
So, many Custom ROM/AOSP ROM for Honor 6x required an EMUI 8.X base.
And to update your Honor 6x to EMUI 8.X, you MUST DEBRAND your phone to BLN L22 India version of the OS
1/ Requirements (Search on Google for installation and how to use, or ask in this thread below)
Spoiler: 1/ Requirements
- You can choose between those 2 methods (Advise you to take the Huawei MultiTool):
Have ADB and Fastboot tools on Computer: ||__Minimal ADB__|| (also present with Android Studio, Unity3D with Android build support)
For Unity3D, if you had add the Android Build Support, the adb and fastboot tools should be here : C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\20XX.X.X\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\platform-tools (Replace 20XX.X.X with your version of Unity 3D)
You can ALSO use ||__Huawei MultiTool v8 __||, that get on more an interface(Great Noob Friendly tools).
I advise you to set the 2 tools inside the Windows 10 environment variable to easily use adb and fastboot command on command prompt. Type adb devices on the console tools of your computer, if it's correctly referenced you will see something like the screenshot:​
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Unlock the bootloader of your phone ! (you can use ||__DC unlocker__|| to get the bootloader code for 4€, or if someone know to get the number with a simple batch file code ? It would be awesome) (Huawei don't get you anymore the bootloader code, even with the paid service)
To make DC-UNLOCKER detect your phone :​
In your phone Settings -> About Phone -> Press 7 times the Build Number => To unlock Developpers Options; then go to Settings -> Developpers Options => Enable USB debugging
Install HiSuite from Huawei to get all the drivers needed to detect your Huawei/Honor phone on your computer
You have to type in dial pad(the default phone app) *#*#2846579#*#* then go to ProjectMenu -> Background Settings -> USB Ports Settings -> [U]Manufacture Mode[/U]. You have to redo this if you disconnected your phone, because it will set by default the HiSuite Port !
Once you get the code :​
In your phone Settings -> Developpers Options => Enable Unlocking OEM
Connect your phone to your computer and allow the debugging mode, and choose MTP mode(transfert files, not charging only)
With Huawei Multi-Tool, press Quick Actions(top right of the UI) -> Reboot to Fastboot mode (OS-FB) OR
Open the console (search cmd on windows), and type adb reboot bootloader
Open the console (search cmd on windows), and type fasboot oem unlock YOURCODE
If all good, type in the cmd : fastboot reboot
- MUST install TWRP Recovery 3.1.1 (Other versions will not work for EMUI 5.X Android Nougat) :
Use Huawei MultiTool : In Recovery Tab, it will normally propose you the EMUI5 twrp image or the 3.1.x version. Press Flash Recovery_ramdisk (require you to enable/allow USB debugging on your phone)
You can also choose an image from your download (see link below for twrp 3.1.1)
Or with the cmd
Boot into fastboot : adb reboot bootloader
Install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img
||__All TWRP version for Honor 6x[berlin]__||
||__twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img__||
- Advise you also to make a backup with HiSuite to save your data, and a TWRP backup to recover your system in case.
- To reboot into TWRP Recovery mode, press Volume + and Power buttons. Or use Huawei MultiTool v8 Quick Actions or type into the cmd : adb reboot recovery
2/ Debrand to BLN-L22
Spoiler: 2/ Debrand to BLN-L22
- See if you already got the BLN-L22 or not : Honor6x -> Settings -> About phone -> Build number
If yes, you can skip this step
View attachment 5233545
- Here is the tutorial made by @shashank1320 to debrand to BLN-L22 (work for BLN and BLL models as I know): ||__LINK__||
(Careful, the 3 links on the firmware finder database may take 1-3 hours to download, they didn't get a good server speed, same as the step 3) And you may need to flash OEMInfo.zip via TWRP !
- Here is some issues that I encounterd and solved, the Huawei MultiTool ZIP is there also : ||__LINK__||

OKKK after one all day (9:30AM to 10:30PM) I finally get it !!!!!!! THANK YOU for your advice you saved my phone if I can say Djiban A look of my new version phone below, very happy !!! Now I have to find how to get Emui 8.X on my Honor 6.X without broken my phone
I really thought that my phone was broken because I didn't backup my OEM info with the Huawei MultiTool and ended into a bootanimation loop even restoring my phone with TWRP.
______________________________________________________________________________________
For those who is doing this awesome tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ln-l22-successful-case-noob-friendly.3679402/ I attach here to my message the Huawei MultiTool v7 that I found on this forum too (but can't find the link in my browser history ) :
For this tool, don't connect to internet when you launch it to avoid auto update, you can enable it after the question about proxy or when you see the main menu. The only bad thing that it's not in english, but the screenshot in the tutorial show you what is what
For the OEM info zip, if you get "sbin/su not found" when restauring int the MultiTool , try also to install it with the traditional way in TWRP via the button Install -> Install ZIP
At the step where you have done the dload method with the update.zip, you will be get stuck in the bootanimation or black screen, it says that you have to shutdown the phone and that's a bit complicated with Honor 6x, you can only reboot whatever you done and adb acess from computer is off (don't activate the bootloader, it can reject the new update you just put in the dload folder !!!)
What I have done is going to Huawei eRecovery mode by pressing and maintaining Power button and Volume +, then choose wipe cache then wipe data/factory reset (it will erase all your data that you have on your last system !). By that, the phone will reboot and get you into the EMUI 5.X and the menu too set your phone, and by that you can rename the folder dload-data to dload through computer as mentionned in the tutorial, then SHUTDOWN your phone and redo the dload activation (Volume + and - and power button pressing)
And that's it ! Some tips to avoid future people stuck for hours and panic because nothing is working and the phone seems to be good for bin

WARNING : Once you update the OEM info of your phone, the Huawei eRecovery won't find update to factory reset the entire firmware ! So if the Huawei eRecovery tell you that the system is broken and you have to reset your phone (can't avoid that if it tells you that I think), after that the bootloader will be locked, then you can't go to TWRP recovery or start the OS.
DON'T PANIC, go into fasboot/bootloader by shutting down your phone(if can't, just reboot and do the following steps before the phone vibrates when reboot !) : Hold AND Keep VOLUME - , then plug the USB cable
Then on your computer, unlock the bootloader as you already done with the command : fastboot oem unlock THEBOOTLOADERCODE (The bootloader code will be the same whatever your firmware version is, it's unique for your phone harware)
3/ Update to EMUI 8.X BLN-L22HNC675 [Android 8.0]
Spoiler: 3/ Update to EMUI 8.X BLN-L22HNC675 [Android 8.0]

- Here is the tutorial also made by the same author at the step 2 : ||__LINK__||
- Some UPDATE Links about this tutorial:
The HwOTA8 tools : ||__LINK__||
Make sure to keep HWOTA8_BLN folder inside HWOTA_BLN_Eng folder
HWOTA_BLN_Eng should be put inside the Tools folder of Huawei Multi-Tool v8
Make sure the path don't contain SPACE such as C:/Program Files
They are new update of the BLN-L22HNC675 (B520)
The newest one is : BLN-L22HNC675CUSTC675D2B520 (8.0.0.520) update on 2018.11.29
Search BLN-L22HNC675CUSTC675D here
You can upload the 3 zip on my pCloud (it's faster): ||__LINK__||
WARNING : On the first boot, wait 3-4 mins. The reboot to the EMUI 8.X can take some times
If after some minutes, nothing happen and you still on the blue Honor bootloop, try to wipe cache AND factory reset the phone via Huawei eRecovery or via TWRP (don't format data, only at the last resort but I think you have to reinstall the firware through HwOTA8 again). Have to be patient, it takes me 6-8 mins to reboot after wiping cache and data at the 2nd attempt.
- After successfully installed EMUI 8.X :
It's possible that you can't access TWRP, you have to reinstall TWRP Recovery through Huawei Multi-Tool (same step at the step 1/ Requirementsabove).
The tool will automaticcaly detect your device and propose you the BLN_TWRP_EMUI8.zip (press Flash Recovery_ramdisk with your phone open in android and allow the debugging connection - see 1/ Requirements for more informations.
Or you can download TWRP 3.2.X-0 (version 3.2.X only ! Other versions may not work, I didn't try it)
With this version, you will encounter some issue with TWRP. You can't wipe chache, or mount/unmount data for example, so some installtion through TWRP may not work, like for OpenGAPPS who maybe can't be installed when you want to try other Custom ROM like LineageOS. If you know how to install OpenKirin(LineageOS) on Honor 6x EMUI 8.X, feel free to share in this thread !
4/ Extend your RAM via SD Card
Spoiler: 4/ Extend your RAM via SD Card
If you succeed all those steps, you may right now see that your device maybe a little buggy, particularly when you open severals android application.
- For me, I used AParted available on the Play Store : ||__LINK__||
- This app require a rooted phone of course : Install Magisk ||__LINK__|| through TWRP Installation (Reboot to TWRP -> Install -> Install ZIP) or use SuperSU propose by Huawei MultiTool button installation
A PDF/Tutorial are available on the app inside, showing you the step to do with screenshot
WARNING : Save your data of your SD card before continue
You may not see big difference by increasing the RAM memory, it will just allow you to open more apps at the same times without crashing or lag
Summary of steps :
Tab CREATE -> press ADD 2 times (or more if you already have some partitions)
Set Part 1 as fat32 and give him his total storage
Set Part 2 as swap and give him his storage (will be for the RAM) (For me, I choose 2Go)
Click APPLY
Go to Tab TOOLS
Select Part 2 - FS: swap
Choose Swap in the drop down menu next to the button Apply
Press Apply
Watch a video (advertising if yo uconnected to internet)
Cancel the installation of AMemoryBoost
Click ON and OK to enable Swap Partition
Now you will saw the current RAM and the Swap memory
I wish my post can be helpful and I wish you can enjoy your new phone !!!

thanks for this excellent and very complete guide. Hop too that @DarkJoker360 AOSP 11 system.img from Huawei P8 Lite forum will work as it did for march and July AOSP 10!!! I'll give i a try next week for sure :

After a succesfull debrand to BLN-L22 with the very fast way, I'm following your guide to step to EMUI 8, first of all thanks for providing files from your pcloud !!

You did use multi tool V8 to update to EMUI 8 ? Can see any signe of that in the guide you did follow . I guess it just replace the adb fastboot command .
All went fine for me, I'm now on very last EMUI 8 stock ROM for BLN-L22! thx
But of course TWRP flash is now an issue:
all TWRP recovery versions I fastbooted flash (3.1.1, 3.2.3, 3.5.0, all for bacon) sent me the same message error in fastboot: "FAILED (remote: partition lentgh get error)" . Apparently not EMUI 8 version .....

Oh nice wonderful !!! Happy it helps
I used the Multi Tools for the 3 step because it contains the adb and fastboot tools. But if you have it with the minimal adb software it will work also.
And if you set the adb folder to the windows 10 variable path system, I think you can put the HwOTA almost anywhere in the computer disk.
Yep indeed the twrp not work properly...
And still all my attempt to upgrade my OS with another method without the 3 zip (update, public, data) is not working

There is a workaround for custom recovery, I'll try it seriously and post back here
