Hi Community,
I have the M2 since a few month and I'm still looking for a working root method. So far I've tried Kingroot and the official way via Huawei-Support, but they couldn't give me the code because I cannot find the Product ID of the M2 (Mine is wifi only, no dialer -> no chance to "dial" the code to get the product ID).
I read through the forums here and some chinese forums and it seems like it is possible, to use the TWRP for the X2 for the M2 as well. But of course I need to unlock the bootloader in order to be able to flash that.
Is anyone of you aware of any working root or unlock method for the M2-801W?
Any hint is greatly appriciated. Thanks in Advance!
Tested srsroot as well without success even though it says it is supported. It patches the system and reboots - but su binary isn't there after the reboot.
FRP Protection is disabled in developer options (OEM Flashing -> Enabled), Bootloader says FRP Protection is not active

I found a youtube video with the title HUAWEI MEDIAPAD M2 UNLOCK USING FURIOUSGOLD.
There it is shown that you have to go to the calculator and type in ()()2846579()() and then =. (Tablet must be in landscape mode to get the parenthesis.) This opens the project menu where I found my IMEI, although I do not understand why my WIFI only tablet has one. Anyway, it was the same as the serial number.
For the product ID I tried the same procedure: Calculator -> ()()1357946()() and then =. Shows an 8-digit number.
I then went to the Huwai site for the unlock key. After pressing the submit button, I get 'SN and IMEI are mismatched.' I will contact Huawei about this error.
Does this work for anybody else?

Works for me as well. Got also an error message on the huawei unlock side saying "The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days."
Edit: Furios Gold is a sim unlock tool. We need a bootloader unlock tool!
Thanks
It is actually possible to unlock the bootloader just fine, did it on mine. The option 3 on http://forum.xda-developers.com/med...apad-x2-unlock-bootloader-root-guide-t3212325 ie. using DC-unlock and then "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" using adb works. I have not tried the TWRP meant for X2 on the M2, but as far as I have understood it should work.

Thank you for sharing that information - unfortunately it is not working for me, DC unlocker fails to detect the tablet. I followed the instructions carefully, all drivers are present as described on dc unlocker page. I tried it in a windows VM and on HW, doesn't work for me.. (I tried autodetect huawei phone and Mediapad X2 directly)
Do you have the LTE or the wifi version? Has anyone managed to unlock the wifi only version?

I have mediapad m2-801L.
I have rooted my phone already by following the guide in mediapad x2.
Well that's good that there is alternative method if kingroot doesn't work.
A. Please go to this link: here
B. I have used DC Unlocker to unlock my bootloader (costs €4) and it can directly unlock the mediapad by using their app. Please click here
C. I flashed the TWRP in the link above using fastboot.
D. I flashed the SuperSU found in the same link above and done! Mediapad M2 is rooted now.
Do you know Iif it's possible to root without unlocking bootloader? do we loose anything if bootloader is unlocking.
I have xperia z5c and I don't want to unlock bootloader because some features will be disabled
Kingroot worked for me (latest version, APK run directly on the tablet)
I have the 802L Wifi only on 5.1.1, Kingroot said that there is no root method available, but I was able to continue and got root.
Previously, i had disabled the FRP Protection (Developer Options -> Enable OEM flashing)
DC Unlocker worked for me as well - the Mediapad 8.0 seems to be supported now in the latest version. You need to set your device to manufacturing mode (open the calculator, turn the tablet around to see it in landscape mode, type ()()2846579()() and =
then, from the background service menu, select USB Options -> Manufacturing mode.
You need to install the driver package from this page: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
After the bootloader was unlocked, I was able to flash TWRP (the chinese version for the X2) and an english language pack (just place the ui.zip in TWRP -> theme folder on the tablet) - SuperSU worked as well, I'm having some trouble with xposed, sometimes it is working, sometimes it's not.

A clean more stock version of Android on the 5Z would make the phone near perfect.
Hopefully we'll be able to unlock the bootloader for the 5Z as well. Time will tell.

If we unlock bootloader and root would we lose system updates and if relock bootloader would we lose root?
January 2023 Edit: The guide below is now outdated. The technique still works, but some of the steps have changed, and may not reflect your experience when rooting. Proceed with caution.
Hello XDA. I have spent the past couple of weeks struggling with unlocking and rooting this awesome device. After some researching I have decided to put this guide together after stumbling on a lot of fake guides on Google that don't work for the Honor 8x. I hope this helps you!
Step 1: Purchase a bootloader code.
Unfortunately, since Huawei stopped providing unlock codes, there is no way around this requirement. Some older guides suggest DC Unlocker, but this does NOT work with newer Huawei devices, and there are no known exploits to get around this. I have provided some options below (which have been tested by XDA members). All you need to do is provide them your IMEI, which can be found under Settings > System > About Phone.Ministry of Solutions: https://ministryofsolutions.com/202...-unlock-service-jsn-l21-jsn-l22-jsn-al00.htmlFunkyHuawei: https://funkyhuawei.club/buycodes [No longer providing service]Global Unlocking Solutions: [Website gone - 404 Error]Various eBay sellers: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=huawei+bootloaderAlternate solution: Try asking a Huawei Service center near you. https://www.androidauthority.com/honor-india-bootloader-unlocking-933231/Confirmed working at some locations outside of Asia.
Step 2: Download ADB.
Link here: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zipAnd unzip it to somewhere on your computer.
Step 3: Setup your phone
Go to Settings > System > About Phone, and tap "Build Number" 7 times to unlock Developer mode. Go back to System, and tap Developer Options. Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging.
Step 4: Unlocking your device
Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Make sure you select "Transfer files" when the message pops up on your phone, and select Trust this computer when the debugging warning pops up. Open your ADB folder, hold Shift and right-click, then select "Open Powershell window" or "Open command prompt". In the next window, type "adb devices" and make sure your device is listed (If not, check to make sure USB debugging is enabled, or reconnect the USB cable.)After that, type "adb reboot bootloader". Once that is done, type "fastboot oem unlock xxx" (replace xxx with the unique code you purchased in Step 1). Warning! This will format your phone and return it to stock configuration. Your phone now has an unlocked bootloader!
Step 5: Install Magisk Manager.
Download and install the Magisk Manager app on your phone. APK here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.1/MagiskManager-v6.0.1.apk
Step 6: Flashing twrp and Magisk
Download the latest twrp image: https://dl.twrp.me/kirin/ and place it into your ADB folder.Then download this magisk ZIP: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v17.1/Magisk-v17.1.zip and place it on a spare Micro SD card, and put that card in the device.Reconnect your device to the PC, again open a Powershell/Command Prompt (as in Step 4).Type "adb reboot bootloader", then type "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-kirin.img". This should complete successfully. Turn off your device by holding down the power button.Disconnect the phone from USB (do not skip this part otherwise you are unable to boot into recovery). Then hold "Volume UP" and "Power" until the blue Honor logo shows up. Release both buttons. You should see a Teamwin logo and twrp will load.This version of twrp is a work in progress so the touchscreen does not work (this is currently being worked on by the folks at twrp builder https://twrpbuilder.github.io/. As soon as they fix it, I will update this guide!). A temporary fix is by using an OTG Cable https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51HI4XhstKL._SX425_.jpg and a standard USB mouse. Use it to swipe-right and select "Install". You might need to "Select storage" and choose your SD card. Find the Magisk zip and install it, then reboot.
Your Honor 8x phone is now rooted!
If this guide was helpful, please consider donating! Bitcoin: 1FPzDYUrQmQMrHbv2ZeAEe883KVNZ8zPV4
Thanks.
Edit: I will provide some instructions below if you wish to do a ota update to a newer version of EMUI (one of which was released recently for the Honor 8x).
* The root must be removed, and phone restored to factory stock before doing a ota update. The bootloader will remain unlocked (no change).
* Stock factory firmware currently can be restored in the Huawei eRecovery by restarting your phone, then on the "Your device has been unlocked" screen, press "Up" for three seconds. From here, you can download the latest version (This will format the phone). After updating, you must re-root from Steps 3 to 6 above (you can skip step 4).
* There should be an easier method to update without formatting, but the current version of twrp causes issues if you try and flash the update. (Error 9, as reported by some users)
I will update the guide when this is fixed.
I have been warned that this may not work for a Qualcomm chipset. Will update if there is any further information about that.

Interesting to see a TWRP build for the new Kirin 710. @chickenwingding Do you think that they will be able to make Nova 3i a TWRP build too? I still didn't unlock it, but I'm going to do it soon, and I've never ported recoveries before, and because this is my first Kirin device I would like some help regarding that. But looking at the log of their app it looks like they reject Huawei/Honor devices now. How did you get them to build Honor 8X TWRP?
New in Huawei devices
I have an Honor 8x Chinese version, once I completed this tutorial could I change the region to my terminal flashing a European rom?
Thanks for the post.
I purchased my honor 8X (AL00a) from China and its developer page doesn't have "OEM Unlock" option. It is not there... Believe me... So, even if I can get an unlock code, I will not able to unlock it. Right? Do you know any solution about that? Huawei closed all ways I guess...

The Nova 3i uses the same SoC as the Honor 8x, so the same recovery image might work for it. And the twrp builder group don't do Huawei/Honor anymore because the company stopped providing bootloader unlocks, so it's very difficult (and expensive) for new owners to root their phone. They said it's not worth developing for newer Huawei devices anymore. The reason they did it for me was because I promised them a cash donation.
Are custom Roms even being developed for this device?

Q2: Are there any risks after unlocking the bootloader?
Please be aware that realme cannot guarantee the full functionality, and will not be responsible, for any third-party unsigned custom ROM being flashed onto your device after the bootloader is unlocked. An unsigned third-party custom ROM may not have gone through the thorough tests that we run for each device and software version that we release.
A third-party custom ROM may not work properly on your device, and certain functions and services may cease to work. The performance and device data may also be affected, and may damage the device permanently. In the worst case, unlocking bootloader will cause physical injuries or material damage for ex. due to device overheating.
Q3: Will it affect future OTAs after unlocking?
Secure user data partition may also become inaccessible and you will not be able to get official software upgrades if you unlock the bootloader. Once re-locked the bootloader, users will receive official OTAs again.
Q4: Will it affect warranty?
Warranty will be fully applied to problems caused by realme 5 Pro unlocking or flashing a custom ROM.
Q5: How to flash back the official ROM after installing a custom ROM?
Users need to go to a service center to flash the device FREE of charge. We are developing a tool to flash stock ColorOS - will come in Q2 2019
Q6: When other devices can get bootloader unlock?
Realme 1 will get bootloader unlock in Feb. Other devices are being considered.
Q7: Where are the kernel sources?

This is on new emui 10, december 2019 security patch. But i opened officila twrp site and there is no official version of twrp for our phones so i cant flash it with adb commands bcs we have unlocked bootloader, it same process as on sammung, just go and toggle on in dev mode.

Well i am on Android 9, and it haves the same toggle. You have go to command prompt to officially unlock the bootloader. And that is already a hardship because you need an unlock code, Listen to @NekoMichi

This toggle doesn't actually unlock the bootloader, it only enables the Fastboot command for bootloader unlocking. In order to execute the command the bootloader key is required. Bootloader unlocking is not your average everyday task which is why there are 2 layers of security before you can unlock.

True, if it was any other phone brand. The unlocking process is much more simpler. Xiaomi - Wait a week or so to get BL unlock. Google Phones - command prompt to BL unlock, Asus, same with unlock tool. If it was before Huawei barred BL unlock codes, unlocking would not be a problem. Although.... Honor Note 10, Roms have started to come out but that is only if you can find a web page service that can give the BL unlock. Seems like Devs are pulling through for that device already.
Who knows, really, if devs want to take a stride with this device. Perhaps one day soon lol. :silly:
