Update BLN-L22C675 from EMUI 5.X.X to EMUI 8.0 (with VOLTE)- Noob Friendly - Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi Guys,
Note- if you are on BLN-L22C675 Nougat you can do this easily but if you are on other variants, you need to debrand first as per this guide- https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402
Some background-
So what I heard earlier that post China Oreo beta, other regions may not get it (via various unofficial channels and on XDA) its finally here, even though via firmware finder but it gives us a glimpse that beta or stable would be coming soon.
I had given my Honor 6X to my brother 6 months back and was using V10 since then but he came yesterday and I tried to enable VOLTE on that phone but was not working. Even though I debranded my Honor 6X from AL10 to BLN-L22 Indian version very easily (guide in my signature) but somehow I was not able to get VOLTE working. Yesterday I tried all the known methods till 2.30 AM My time but VOLTE was not working and I gave up but today morning again I tried and updated my phone to EMUI 8.0 (already kept one phone for my brother so that if something goes wrong, I will give a new one to him so that he can use atleast as he is leaving today)
As VOLTE was not working and I decided to update to Android 8.0 Indian version, I saw a screenshot in my Honor 6X Oreo update discussion thread and downloaded and flashed via HuRUpdater but failed last night and I recovered back to B340 and then updated to B365.

If you have not unlocked your your bootloader, please do so. You can refer this guide if not aware of the method-
Unlocking the bootloader-
Backup all your data as unlocking the bootloader will reset the device and all your data will be erased.
On windows machine, go to folder C:\adb or wherever you installed the adb drivers.
Press shift+right click together and select Open command prompt here (it will be open PowerShell here on Windows 8 and Windows 10 machine)
Run - adb reboot bootloader (this command may prompt for acceptance of RSA key if not already accepted)
This will boot the phone into bootloader mode.
Run - fastboot oem unlock <16 digit unlock code- Put your actual code you obtained from Huawei site > (This step will unlock the bootloader and will erase all your data)
Phone will restart automatically.
Installing TWRP
Once on the system, open the PowerShell or command prompt again in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run -
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader, Run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img
(This will install the TWRP recovery for EMUI 5.0 on your phone)
Once done with the flashing the TWRP, Run
Code:
fastboot reboot
Actual Oreo update procedure
Once you have unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP recovery via command
Download the Oreo firmware given above in download link.
Download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng.zip from the link given above.
Unzip the HWOTA_BLN_Eng.zip file and move the extracted content (HWOTA_BLN_Eng folder) to adb folder of your PC.
Copy the downloaded Oreo firmware to C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN\update\ folder.
Rename update_data_full_public.zip file to update_data_public.zip and update_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip to update_all_hw.zip, do not rename the update.zip.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

}
Boot to bootloader or fastboot mode. Keep your phone connected with PC.
Go to C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN folder and run the update_eng.bat file and follow the on screen instructions.
The update_eng.bat will install the TWRP recovery and boot to TWRP (if not, you can remove USB and press power and volume up key and it will boot to TWRP, connect the USB again)
You will get prompt for update via SD card or script, select via script
You will get prompt for change region or change firmware, select change firmware.
It will automatically copy the content of C:\adb\HWOTA_BLN_Eng\HWOTA8_BLN\update, mainly those 3 zips and it will flash automatically.
You may see the update.zip file flashed as successful with no error but may see Error result [] for other 2 zips, dont worry that is expected.
Once flashed, it will automatically boot to Oreo without any issue and also it will ask if you want to relock your bootloader or keep this unlocked, this is your wish, I kept it unlocked and will be locked in future updates.
Your Nougat data may remain the same as it was in my case but I would advise to go with Hisuite backup and TWRP backup.
If phone unable to boot, flash the stock recovery and make factory reset and boot normally, it should boot fine. (haven't encountered this issue though)
I did factory reset after booting and verifying to system. Everything was working fine but still I did just to avoid any issue or lag (even though no lags were seen)
About Phone info and VOLTE for Jio and Vodafone. iDEA VOLTE would work as well but there is no 4G in NCR.
Enjoy Oreo.
Update- anyone having issues with call recorder, turn off Google voice typing and recording will work fine.

Internal storage shows as 0Mb. If I format data, Rom won't boot. I had to flash back stock recovery to factory reset and make it boot.
Flashing TWRP again shows 0Mb. Looks like a decryption issue.

May be TWRP is not compatible with Oreo yet. Have seen similar issues on V10. BTW given back the phone to bro and he left for Mumbai so I couldnt test and explore much but somehow I updated his phone to Oreo and then got VOLTE working as was struggling since long and even yesterday for around 8-10 hours.
Which stock recovery you used (extracted from update.zip or else)?

Cool. Was not aware of this. Coz with HurUpdate, got error that file doesn't exist so rename them their and thought that is applicable here as well. Thanks for correcting this.

@shashank1320
While unlocking bootloader I took the complete backup with Hisuite but after restoring it everything's there except my safe files.
I am unable to find any of those files(safe box) in file manager too.
Is there any way to recover those files?

currently twrp not supporting mtp or otg only way is via sd card.
I saw a TWRP thread for another honor varient that supports mtp and adb push files.

Thank you very much for such a detailed guide.. successfully installed Oreo on my Device ?
Just wanted to mention that faced issue with existing process when it ask to boot in TWRP recovery... It was booting to stock recovery only. So disconnected mobile, switched on , flash TWRP seperately, directly booted to TWRP and connected again to the computer and continued process.
Thak you very much for detailed guide.

[Guide][Tutorial] Root TWRP LG G5 using Autorecowvery[H830 & V20A only][Noobfriendly]
This is guide to root and install twrp on lg g5 T-Mobile using recowvery method.
Read 4th post before proceeding​This method is to root & install TWRP on only T-Mobile LG G5 running Nougat 20a software. If your phone isn't on 20a then first downgrade/upgrade to 20a software.
Before asking a question, first, see FAQ in 3rd post. In that way you can save a lot of time.
For Video Guide refer to 5th Post
You need to disable antivirus before extracting files. Because we are using DirtyCow vulnerability here. Which is technically a virus (It's not dangerous for pc but for exploiting android to get root access). If you can't disable AV then don't proceed because process will not work
Download:​1: Recowvery (2nd post)
2: Minimal adb (2nd post)
3: TWRP

G: Now OS will get booted. Bootloader will be unlocked but phone should be in factory reset condition. So again enable “USB Debugging”.
THEN​
2: Connect phone with pc in MTP mode and copy recovery.img to phone’s internal storage (Make sure to select MTP as always to avoid problem during procedure). Extract recowvery software. (If it causes permission problems extract it to USB device and perform process from there)
3: Run “EasyRecowvery.cmd”. Press “5” -->Enter then press “7” -->Enter to disable integrity check. Then enter “0” to go back. Skip it if you are using Recowvery G5 modified.
4: Now press “2” and wait until it says warning. Press “y” -->Enter. (It won't say warning in Recowvery G5 modified)
5: It will do rest process. After Flashing TWRP it will flash “no-opt-encrypt” (This is most important to save twrp from being removed by OS)

Recowvery G5 modified is fully working, so you can try it.
I'm still keeping easyrecowvery 1.3 in this thread as a backup plan.
Read Read Read Before using This
Test Version --> Ricksy-Recowvery | Mirror
(Ricksy Recowvery is streamlined, checks free version of EasyRecowvery. It has no unlock checks, no model verification so use it only if you're fully sured about what you're doing. It includes but isn't limited to unlocked bootloader, USB Debugging Enabled, Being on V20a firmware, LG Drivers installed, PC allowed as Trusted in USB Debugging as always)
Remember to copy latest TWRP to root of internal storage as recovery.img before proceeding.
Old Test
There is also Addition of Recowvery G5 modified 2.0 Test version as well (This script has some additional features)
(I have also turned off most security checks, so you should have an more easy rooting experience. However, this increase risk of bricking device if you do not read things properly). If you can provide your experience of using this script please share your knowledge.

FAQ​
Recowvery tool is causing permission errors when I run it through computer's internal HDD storage. What shall I do?
Ans: There are possibly 2 workarounds for that.
A: Extract the zip to external USB storage and Run the tool.
B: Change the name of folder, in which recowvery tool is, to "1" and copy to root of storage e.g. "Computer:\D:\1".
Can I re-lock my bootloader after rooting and TWRP flashing?
Ans: No, as recovery partition modified now, this will brick your device.
Can I use V20C or later on my phone after rooting and flashing TWRP?
And: You can't take OTA after rooting as this might create a brick but fortunately @autoprime created TWRP flashable zips of firmwares e.g 20c,20f,20i and he might create newer builds too. Anyways here's the Auto Prime's thread, Go to "LG G5 Files" link and download file as per your variant and choice.
I bricked my phone after following this guide and now I can access only download mode, what shall I do now?
I'm on other version than 20a, What shall I do?
Ans: Really? It seems like you're kidding because this guide can never harm your device, It can either do it's work or not but there is no way for it to brick a device (Unless you don't read carefully).
Ans: You can take your phone back to v20a by using the following guide.
Anyways​You can always bring your phone back to life by following this Back to Life thread.
How to remove encryption in TWRP? or I'm unable to access my phone's internal storage from TWRP, What shall I do?
Ans: So for this process.
a: Boot into twrp.
(you can boot to TWRP by any app or by vol- and power button combination or from option “5” --> “5” in recowvery toolkit (command window).
b: In TWRP, cancel code Windows, Swipe to allow modification then
Click -->Wipe-->Format Data-->type “yes”-->enter.
You need to do this only once. After that you can flash roms and zips unlimited times.
Will this root method work on 20c/d/e/f or others?
Well, it shouldn't. Because I tried this on 20c and it never worked, so I believe it will not work on any software other than 20a because LG removed that exploit to root after 20a. But you can try your luck and tell me if you succeed.
a: Thanks a lot i have one lg g5 h830 and i have some fear to lose the unlocking and i want to modify the phone.
b: Same i have anyone please answer it will i lost the UNLOCKING (Modified by shopkeeper) if i FLASH another ROM?
What are you people trying to ask here?
Bootloader Unlock:
Bootloader can be locked and unlocked anytime you can to do so just by typing commands in fastboot mode. In T-Mobile G5 the fastboot mode do not accept flash command that's why we can only lock and unlock bootloader.
TWRP:
As commands are limited in fastboot mode of T-Mobile G5, we are unable to flash twrp through fastboot mode. So, for this process we rely vulnerability found in G5 firmware. The only currently found method for doing so is by using dirtycow exploit to flash TWRP on H830. Only V20a contains this vulnerability to do so.
Summary:
So to flash TWRP and enjoy freedom of using custom rom (Which I suppose you refer as Unlock to) you need to be on V20a. Which can be flashed easily through LGUP with Uppercut or use my LG FlashTool method (Link in FAQ section). When on V20a firmware simply use this or your preferred method for flashing TWRP.
If you want to go back to stock, simply flash any stock KDZ and lock bootloader. If you want to get TWRP again, simply unlock bootloader and flash V20a kdz (or flash V20a kdz and unlock bootloader) then instal TWRP by using the process.
Important:
Currently our stock firmwares are running Anti-Rollback (ARB 01), LG can increment this whenever they want, whenever LG increase ARB to 02 or upper then you won't be able to get back to ARB 01 firmwares (e.g V20a ) again. Which means you can unlock bootloader but won't be able to flash TWRP as dirtycow is patched after 20a. So you will lose the ability to flash TWRP which means unlocked bootloader is useless unless someone finds another method of flashing TWRP.
So, if you want to stay unlocked, then make sure to install TWRP as described above and flash latest TWRP flashable stock base zips or use other roms like Fulmics or AOSP based. It's very simple and easy .

First of All:
​After Flashing let me know about your experience by answering the poll, this will help me in updating this post.
POLL is ended, so let me know about your experience with toolkit and thread readability in comments.

Nougat v20a only as the thread title says.

I had to extract to a USB device to get recowvery to work but it went smoothly from there, until I got to TWRP to flash the no verity zip. It hung on hit any key to continue, it didn't dawn on me till later I should have mounted USB storage (derp), but I already had the no verity zip and SuperSU on my external SD so I just flashed them manually, booted, and had root. Then I formatted data, lost root, and flashed SuperSU again to get it back. I later flashed @autoprime 20c zip with SuperSU and now I'm rooted with TWRP on 20c, tyvm for the tutorial

First of all you welcome, 2nd thanks for writing about your experience.
I am not completely assured but to make recowvery work in internal hard drive you need to change the name of recowvery folder to "1". Next time whenever you root try this method and let me know wether it worked...
And as you mentioned about having difficulty in flashing no verity. I think this issue is happening only on TWRP 3.1.0, on TWRP 3.0.1 it works fine, i think .

Does this method work with the latest update to 20f? Can I just try it without bricking my phone?

Thanks, I'll try that next time. I did use TWRP 3.0.1 though, but I'm thinking that without mounting USB storage, perhaps the verity zip couldn't be found to be flashed.

This worked perfectly!! Thank you so much again! I had to extract the recowvery to a usb stick and run it from there (it wouldn't run properly from the computer hd) and at first I got an error as I had put the recovery.img on the external phone sd. My bad. Anyway... I just copied it over to the phone sd and started over, and it worked exactly as explained in the OP.
AWESOME effort by everyone involved. XDA rules!
Btw... can I relock the bootloader now? And one more thing... I turned off "automatic system updates" in developer mode. I assume if I update to v20c or newer I will lose root? And I guess I should not update the supersu either?
Thanks again! You rock!!

As you installed TWRP, so recovery partition is modified which means if you relock bootloader, you will brick your device.
Also if you want to use V20c check @autoprime's thread for the TWRP flashable zip of V20c or later (if there any).
And if you want to update supersu you can do it either by newest supersu zip to flash it through TWRP or by updating it through playstore then update binary through supersu it self, but I think updating supersu mostly changes nothing.

Ok. Thanks for all the info. I think I will keep the v20a with the current supersu. It works perfectly! Hopefully it will not "automatically update between 23:00 and 04:00" as it says in "about phone/update center/system updates". From what I understand, it shouldn't as long as I have the "automatic system updates" set to OFF in developer options.
How can I boot into TWRP? When I reboot and try to enter TWRP I always end up in the hard reset menu where it asks if I want to wipe the phone... Do I have to boot into TWRP through ADB fastboot?

When you boot to recovery through hardware key combination, say yes through hardware keys twice (as you want to reset), it will take you to TWRP, thats the logic from lg g2

He is absolutely correct. That's exactly what I did on my H830 yesterday.
Keep up the great work people......

Got it after a few attempts
Thanks for the step by step. It is a good walkthrough for a tough device. With all the previous complicated, and sometimes confusing/conflicting, instructions in other (older) threads for the H830 I was nervous to try.
I struggled a little getting it to work; 1) .cmd returned "don't have permission to create log or backup files..." when running from my "documents" directory, had to run it in a root folder. 2) I got the wrong TWRP version at first and the process said success, but never made it to TWRP.
It was the most challenging of any device I have owned to get root, but happy to crack it. Thanks!

root 20f?
does this root method work on 20f?

Well, it shouldn't. Because I tried this on 20c and it never worked, so I believe it will not work on any software other than 20a. But you can try your luck and tell me if you succeed.

Salam bro,I followed your method and rooted the phone,after rooting I wiped system, data and cache so I could flash fulmics 2(based on v20c) which I had already downloaded,it flashed successfully but after booting on startup screen there's this popup error"settings keep closing " because of which I can't do anything so can u please tell me where did I go wrong,should I have wiped the system or not?

Hi Folks,
In this guide, I will share step by step details for successful debranding to BLN-L21C432 variant. I used BLN-L22C675B350 model for debranding. This guide will work 100% if followed correctly. This was tested myself last night.
Old version - BLN-L22C675B350
New version- BLN-L21C432B360
NOTE- NFC will not work. I tried few work around but couldn't get this working. So, if your only motive to use BLN-L21 model is NFC, you can avoid debranding.
Refer to my original guide if you wish to debrand to BLN-L22 Indian variant.
Let me share, almost full proof, detailed steps to debrand.
Prerequisites-
Have a full TWRP backup on your current model and store on PC/SD card.
Files for the new model (BLN-L21 variant)
Memory card with at least 8 GB space.
Firmware finder tool to get the files (preferable on PC)
Huawei multi tool
Working PC and of course, Honor 6X
Most important- PATIENCE. Do not panic. It will take max 2 hours including downloads, backup, restore, flash etc. (may vary depend on your download speed) It took me 7 hours of effort last night to debrand and then restore back to Indian variant. (TWRP wont work for restore)
Shall we start? Let’s go further and do it now.
Downloads-
OEMINFO -https://mega.nz/#!uYUwSSQJ!T8tCjSpVgWNpThUIqU5R5mI09W7kWZkd01hltk1kaRc
Main zip - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v82485/f1/full/update.zip
Data file (This is required for putting updater app and other stuff on phone or you won’t get updater, File manager etc)-
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L21_hw_eu/update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip
Huawei Multi Tool- https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads (Version V7 zip)
Firmware Finder app on PC – this is not required as I have given the link above. You can still download it for future usage- http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/huawei-firmware-finder/ (download for PC) or direct link- http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/GetLatestVersion.action
Steps-
Unlocking bootloader/rooting and MT tool instalaltion-
Unlock your bootloader, flash custom recovery and root it with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822
Backup backup backup your current phone in TWRP.
Installation of Tool installation and backing up current OEM Info file-
Download Huawei Multi Tool from this XDA thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923 , direct download link https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads select V7 zip, extract it and go to the folder.
Run by double clicking the bat file as below
{
"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"
}
Once the tool is running you will see the device connected as below (It will show your phone’s serial number)
Follow step by step images below to backup your current oeminfo file (path of the backup is the folder where you ran the bat file above\backup) in my case it was C:\Users\Downloads\Compressed\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT\Backup
Changing vendor/country- input 7
Selecting device- input 6X or 6x
Save or restore OEMINFO - input 1
Saving OEMINFO- input 1
Confirmation screen for saving the OEM INFO File.
Just make a copy of this file to some other folder, as same folder will be used for a new oeminfo file for new model.
Till now, we have just backed up ourselves so that in case we run into a situation where unbale to boot further or stuck, this will be handy to restore.
Let’s proceed with actual rebranding now.
Extract the Main zip file, you will get 3 files as below, copy all of them to SD card/ External memory card under “dload” folder.
Extract the Data file zip, you will get 3 files as below, copy all of them to SD card/ External memory card under “dload-data” folder.
Rename the downloaded oeminfo file to oeminfo: BLN-L21C432-oeminfo.zip -->> oeminfo.zip
Copy the OEFMINFO.zip file to backup folder of Multi tool where you backed up the original oeminfo of your earlier model. (above path - C:\Users\Downloads\Compressed\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7\Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT\Backup)
Run the Huawei multi tool again same as above but this time, instead of backup of oeminfo, it will be option 2 to restore the file. Progress and status will be similar to
It should show the progress and confirm the download/restore complete. If this is failed, PELASE DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER and ask in comment section below.
Once OEMINFO restore is successful, you have the oeminfo of new version flashed on your model.
Now reboot the phone. Most probably it will give a prompt as your data partition was damaged and need format to repair. Just do it.
Once format is completed, boot to system. At this point, phone will ask for setup, just skip all the steps and you will see BLN-L21 during setup itself.
At this point, if you check the about phone setting, it will show BLN-L21 but build number will be NRD90M-test-keys.
Enable USB debugging again, boot to fastboot and unlock the bootloader if it shows locked.
Boot normally. Then again boot to fastboot and flash TWRP as earlier.
Remove the USB and Power off the phone by pressing power key now.
Use Volume up+power key to boot to TWRP. Flash the data zip - update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip . This will succeed.
Once flashed, boot normally. This time you will see BLN-L21C432B360 in about phone.
Power off the phone and now use dload method now i.e. press Volume up + Volume down+ Power key together. Stock recovery should start flashing the files (Note- Do not just put the Update.app in dload and need all 3 files mentioned above)
Phone will verify the package and start installation. It will take only 2-3 minutes for 100% flash and phone will reboot.
If you see updater, file manager missing from settings, or unable to use themes boot to fastboot, flash TWRP. boot to TWRP and then reflash the update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip file and boot to system. Everything should be working fine.
Press power key to turn off the phone.
Take out the memory card and delete dload folder or rename to “dload-main”.
Rename the folder “dload-data” to dload.
Insert the SD card.
Use dload method now i.e. press Volume up + Volume down+ Power key together. Stock recovery should start flashing the files (Note- Do not just put the Update.app in dload and need all 5 files mentioned above)
This will take 30-40 seconds maximum to flash.
Once this is flashed, phone will reboot and ask you to set up the phone.
You may skip the google account setup during all initial configuration is by skipping Wi-Fi and removing the SIM card. It will not ask for Google account.
Follow the on screen instruction and Setup the phone.
BINGO. You are on BLN-L21 now and it will support everything the regional phone supports.
I personally faced many issues and damaged my data partition few times but I am writing this guide without those steps which could cause issue and as mentioned, do not panic and proceed step by step and you would achieve what you wished for. Comment below on your experience and share if any modification is needed to the guide, I will do, but as per my knowledge, this is what I could prepare best for any NOOB user who doesn’t even know what root or anything is.
Share your thoughts on guide and ask any question when you stuck. ​
Note-
This was tested from BLN-L22C675 to BLN-L22C432
This may work from any model/variant to BLN-L22C432 (most probably without any issues)
This should work for all BLL models as well, because there are no restriction on Hardware part.
You will recieve OTA updates as I received couple of updates post debranding from B360 to B365 and then B367
Good luck and enjoy.​

Hi
After updating to EMUI 8.0 from this tutorial everything went well. Got Oreo working fine, so started to root with magisk = Ok; Xposed=Nok... Bootloop.
First - clean Data and Cache+Dalvik, still Bootloop
Entered to fastboot and tried to flash this file to rollback to 8.0, but...
I nottest that it said on the screen:
Bootloader UNLOCKED (in RED) and FRP Locked (In Green)
Confusing colors, cause it seems that i can't flash anything with unlocking the FRP... but i don´t have access the the system....
Also cant format System partition cause its read only, unable to flash other recovery files thought fastboot....
It s a f*cking MESS....
Can anyone please advice on this?
What can i do to recover this piece of sh*t??
Please........
Thank you, people

Long story short, i've solved it but have to pay for it.
Went to HUAWEI Service Center here in Portugal, and they told me that they couldn't do anything since the phone was not marketed for Europe (??????) [ASS Os]
I've discovered this service, and as with any other service online, i get suspicious for a while, asked a lot of questions and decided:
Bought a Month Pass for 50 EUD (45 Euros), and voila, in the first try unbricked the phone
Now i have the rest of the month to play with it...
Thanks for the people of FunkyHuawei for the kind attention (mostly pacience) they had with me.
I recommend it :good::good::good::good::good:

Do you still have access to twrp?
It could be only hope.
I had frp lock problem after unlocking bootloader. I had hit reset to default setting while inside developer options menu. That flipped the oem unlock switch.
I had to use twrp to flash back the stock boot.img and stock recovery.img then i was able to oem relock (my code).
And boot into room and reflip oem unlock toggle

thanks for replying
Not sure that i can access TWRP cause every time i force the recovery it appears the EMUI recovery (probably the NoCheck version that i used to update to Oreo)
Isn't it possible to reverte back to EMUI 5.1? Maybe with the 'dload' methode??
Is there any way to reset/unlock FRP from fastboot? I tried to relock bootloader with my own key but got an error (can't remember now what...)
I can't access the ROM itself...
This was because i installed Xposed....
If i could access TWRP again, perhaps i could delete the xposed files (in a recovery with the system as read-only)...
But i just dont know what to look for....
In older systems i knew that was the app_process file... Now i just dont know....
Thanks again for your reply!

Please can you explain that in detail?
Cause that might be the only way to save this (#"))&%&(/)&....
So, here is my situation:
- No TWRP access (recovery_ramdisk might be empty or damage... hopefully just empty)
- Bootloader Unlocked but FRP Locked
- eRecovery only presents 3 choices: Shutdown, Reboot and "Download latest version and recovery"*
- The System it self it's messed up after trying to install xposed.... just when its about to start, it reboots...
So.......
Still 3 ways that i can resolv this:
1 - the dload method (already tried, it updates until 5%, then error:" Install update failed" (Use the update.app file from the OTA, FullOTA, just the app file, all files in the update.zip... ) Not sure if i'm missing the right app file or if the eRecovery (maybe the NoCkeck version used to update initially) is screwed-up...
2 - Unlocking the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) this means that the "Allow OEM unlocking" is Off
Hopping to find a way to unlock it via fastboot
3 - The *Download latest version and recovery method allows to connect to wifi and download the firmware...
Not much sucess, but i know that i'm missing something (just dont know what it is...)
It seems that the router requires a certain configuration which i have no idea....
Suggestions are always welcome!
Thanks

1 - the dload method (already tried, it updates until 5%, then error:" Install update failed" (Use the update.app file from the OTA, FullOTA, just the app file, all files in the update.zip... ) Not sure if i'm missing the right app file or if the eRecovery (maybe the NoCkeck version used to update initially) is screwed-up...
2 - Unlocking the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) this means that the "Allow OEM unlocking" is Off
Hopping to find a way to unlock it via fastboot
3 - The *Download latest version and recovery method allows to connect to wifi and download the firmware...
Not much sucess, but i know that i'm missing something (just dont know what it is...)
It seems that the router requires a certain configuration which i have no idea....
Suggestions are always welcome!
Thanks

What I'm trying to understand , is how were you trying to install exposed.
I assume it was with twrp, no.

theres not much to understand there....
i flashed it with twrp and the phone never booted again...
yes, had access to the twrp for a while, but then, trying to run again the update process to flash the wrong recovery to recovery_ramdisk partition.... (another shot in the foot)
now i dont have twrp anymore and i'm unable to flash it cause th frp lock keeps telling thats not allowed...
the most clean way to solve this is to erase/unlock the FRP without accessing the ROM...
I'm already thinking about buy some credits with one of those online services that might unlock it...
Can you suggest to me some serious and honest services?
I'm desperate....

Ok, I see
Didn't know you where 2 or 3 miss- steps past a failed exposed install.
I have no idea which service to recommend.

Hi,
Hope OP got his solution.

Honorable mod, I guess this thread belongs to Honor 7X Q&A forum. Please relocate.

you cant downgrade from emui 8 you need to extract update.app of emui 8 an flash the ramdisk boot img so it will boot for that you need to download indian firmware mannual update given in other forum and extract the zip file update22 and data file extract both zip files and download the multi tool version 8 install all drivers boot your phone into bootloader now go to multi tool and click on unbreak and open huawie update extractor and extract update.app of data or update 22 make sure to check the mark on top emui 8 and when you click on update make sure to uncheck the verify the headder for that you go to settings in extracting update and follow the procedure of flashing for that you can google how to use multi tool i cant explain more i am not a developer but i phase the same problem and i got fixed hope i helped you

Hi
After updating to EMUI 8.0 from this tutorial everything went well. Got Oreo working fine, so started to root with magisk = Ok; Xposed=Nok... Bootloop.
First - clean Data and Cache+Dalvik, still Bootloop
Entered to fastboot and tried to flash this file to rollback to 8.0, but...
I nottest that it said on the screen:
Bootloader UNLOCKED (in RED) and FRP Locked (In Green)
Confusing colors, cause it seems that i can't flash anything with unlocking the FRP... but i don´t have access the the system....
Also cant format System partition cause its read only, unable to flash other recovery files thought fastboot....
It s a f*cking MESS....
Can anyone please advice on this?
What can i do to recover this piece of sh*t??
Please........
Thank you, people

Tried that but the only response that fastboot gives me is "Command not allowed" .
I just can´t flash anything in fastboot. I think i can thought adb shell dd (at least that how i manage to screw twrp partition), but i just can´t get ADB connection.
Just got fastboot connection with HiSuite drivers...
How can i get ADB access? It just installs an USB Storage Device...
Also i can try update via fastboot but it saying that it misses android-info.txt file.... whatever that means...
If i could boot once into the ROM, i would enable "Allow OEM Unlocking" and do exactly that.... btut i junt can´t... not yet...

That was my plan... but even that is screwed-up.....
Here is my Recovery Status, without the possibility to flash any img via fastboot:
recovery_ramdisk (empty or in-error)
erecovery_ramdisk ( BND-RECOVERY-NoCheck.img flashed to update into EMUI 8.0)
With the software now, whats failling me is the ****ing recovery, that flash only 5% before it shows this error : "Install update failed!"
Dont have ADB support, maybe because i dont have the "USB Debbuging" option enable...
It seems that i will spend 15 euros to unlock this &%/())(/&%$######()/=?(/%&$#

Just thought I'd post here in case you are still in need. I believe that there are two different recovery modes - one that is triggered by holding power, up vol, and down vol, and another that is triggered by holding just power and up vol. Are you sure twrp is gone? I thought I had lost twrp when in fact it was in the other recovery.

RSGI said:
Please can you explain that in detail?
Cause that might be the only way to save this (#"))&%&(/)&....
So, here is my situation:
- No TWRP access (recovery_ramdisk might be empty or damage... hopefully just empty)
- Bootloader Unlocked but FRP Locked
- eRecovery only presents 3 choices: Shutdown, Reboot and "Download latest version and recovery"*
- The System it self it's messed up after trying to install xposed.... just when its about to start, it reboots...
So.......
Still 3 ways that i can resolv this:

Not even that i can do....
Let's update:
State
OS: Bootloop
System: No "recovery_ramdisk" partition (no stock / no twrp)
Bootloader: Unlocked
*FRP: Locked
So can't flash in fastboot, *Already got the unlock code for the FRP but without the "recovery_ramdisk" recovery the system wont reset....
(Weird!) No adb access in recovery mode (which would help A LOT....)
The dload method, whatever the update.app only updates until 5% , then error updating...
The eRecovery Wireless method might work, but i just dont know how to do it.
Tried with a usb pen inserted on the router with all the ROMs all together, in separated folders, whatever, no rom detected... there must be a way to do it right... i just dont know how...
Just need one of two things to happend:
Flash the stock recovery - still dont know how to do it...
Fix the bootloop and access the SO Rom - also, without adb access just dont know how...
Out of the box thinking required...
About UPDATE.APP
Can't we make a update.app much like o do it for zip files?
Would it be possible to make um UPDATE.APP just to flash/restore recovery partition?
The updates with zip files must also be inside a dload folder?
About Bootloop and SD Card
Is there a way, using the sd card, to stop the reboot, maybe enable the Safe Mode...
Something that would allowed me to access the Settings...
Any apk, any script that could be loaded from the SD card....
Not an easy plan... i know...
Maybe something very basic and easy is escaping me....

I just read through the fastboot partition from my backup using "strings" to find the available "oem" commands.
I think i found possible solution for you.
careful useing these commands as I do not know for sure if they work and what they do.
Code:
fastboot oem frp-unlock
also not sure about the dashes or underscores.

Hi
Thank you for replying.
Already tried that.... Actually the command should be:
Code:
fastboot oem frp-unlock (unlock frp key)
Bought the unlock code from an online unlock store.
Spent 10 euros. The code is correct cause i got the message that the device will reboot and do a factory reset.
Than it reboots into an error screen, cause i screwed up the "recovery_ramdisk" partition earlier and its not working now. So, no factory reset, no changing the Frp status... Still locked.
Still no flashing img files from recovery... Still got the reply oficial Command Not Allowed...
But:
I'm trying to gain adb access while on eRecovery.
Than i could try to flash the stock recovery with the code dd command. From there i would unlock the Frp with the code and the Factory Reset might be enought to fix the bootloop.
Also the bootloop it self...
I wonder if there's a way to force the boot even with FC errors....
Access to the ROM software would allow me to flash the stock recovery and then make a factory reset, by changing the OEM Unlocking status
Thanks for your reply, maybe you can give me some tips on this 2 ways that i'm exploring right now.
Or some other ways that i haven't consider yet... please....
:cyclops::cyclops:

Hello everyone, after struggling for a few hours I managed to finally disable force encryption in my phone (so that TWRP could backup the data partition).
I'd like to write a quick list of what I did in the form of a guide to unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP and getting root with Magisk. I'm just a user, not a developer and this guide is brief, it's not a detailed tutorial and does not include trivial steps (like how to install drivers for your OS).
Warnings: Although small, there is always the chance this bricks your phone. I take no responsibilities.
This will factory reset your phone so back up everything before you start.
My phone is Lenovo S5 (K520) Global version (see screenshot) I don't know if this will work for other firmwares.
Prerequisites:
Install Phone, ADB and Fastboot drives. You can get ADB and Fastboot binaries from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Download this archive:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4dcvzw1hdmzfn10
It contains all the files used in this guide.
Alternatively, download all the files used from their sources.
You will need an SD card or a USB flash drive with an OTG adapter.
Copy the following files to it:
A. "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018.zip"
(Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3817389 )
B. "Magisk-v18.0.zip"
(Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3473445 )
C. (optional) "\stock\boot.img"
(Downloaded from the global firmware @ 4pda)
If you chose to use Micro SD card, you can insert it now.
Note: I know there is a way to push these files directly to TWRP from PC through USB instead of using SD Card/Flash drive but I've never tried it.
Lets start:
1. Go to 'Settings>About phone' and tap on "Lenovo version" several times until developer options are enabled.
2. Go to 'Settings>System>Developer options' and enable "OEM unlocking" (Note: for me this option was greyed out and I had to connect to wifi and wait for a minute or two).
Optional: Enable "USB debugging" if you wish to enter fastboot via ADB.
3. Turn off the phone and press and hold 'Volume down'+'Power' buttons until you see "fastboot mode" on the phone screen (alternatively, don't turn off the phone and instead enter fastboot mode via ADB (adb.exe reboot bootloader)).
4. Connect the phone to the PC via USB and open a command prompt in the location that you installed fastboot binary to.
Type (after each command press enter):
Code:
fastboot devices
To verify that the phone is recognized. And if it is type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Now on the phone LCD navigate to "Yes" with volume buttons and press power to select it.
Your phone will factory reset, this will take a few minutes. Let it finish.
5. Put the TWRP image in your fastboot path. I used "recovery-twrp-3.2.3-crn-seoul(v3.2.3-1).img" downloaded from this URL:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/lenovo-s5-k520-twrps-t3863860
But I included 2 more files that I found (I did not try them).
6. Enter fasboot mode again and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp-3.2.3-crn-seoul(v3.2.3-1).img
(Substitute "recovery-twrp-3.2.3-crn-seoul(v3.2.3-1).img" with the recovery filename of you choice)
7. If successful, disconnect the USB cable and enter Recovery mode, do not turn off or reboot the phone because upon restart the phone will revert to stock recovery (I.E. delete TWRP).
To enter Recovery mode press and hold 'Volume down'+'Power' buttons until you see "fastboot mode" and from there choose "Recovery mode" with the volume buttons and confirm with the power button.
(Alternatively, you can try holding 'Volume up'+'Power' to directly enter Recovery mode but I found it a little finicky)
8. In TWRP, swipe to allow changes. Press cancel when asked for a password to decrypt data.
If you chose to use a USB flash drive with an OTG adapter, connect it and mount it (Mount>usb-otg).
9. Go to Wipe>format data, type "yes" and confirm (if you have any data like installed apps, contacts etc., it will be deleted).
10. Go to Install and install "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018.zip".
The files will be in (/external_sd/ or /usb-otg/).
11. Install "Magisk-v18.0.zip"
Important note: If you want to keep encryption (if you don't care if TWRP can't access /data/) and just obtain root, skip steps 9 and 10.
12. Reboot to system and wait for a few minutes for the initial setup.
If for some reason boot fails (nothing happens after 10 minutes) and you can still enter TWRP (hold 'Volume up'+'Power'), then you can revert the changes by restoring the stock boot image (TWRP>Install>Install image>boot.img - put a checkmark on "boot").
If this worked for you, please tell us by replying to this thread.

Thanks a lot man. This phone is a beast in quality/price when talking about hardware. Costs a bit more than 100€ and has the same hard than others at 180-200€ at least. Bad thing is software but with TWRP and root everything is possible . Just found what project treble is, amazing possibilities. Can't beliebe nobody replied yet to yor post. Its a great guide and you show all the sources from where your downloads come. As you said in another thread its better this way so people can trust your content more:

I am yet waiting for my Lenovo S5 to arrive but I will give this guide a try. I was about to follow XN logos (stupdroid) guide/software but I prefer yours. Just one question... have you checked whether the TWRP v3.2.3 (latest) from dmilz make proper working backups? Can I trust that a full backup will be loaded correctly after installing any unofficial ROM, to go back to stock if necessary? I made once the mistake of relying a TWRP and later I found out that one was ok for flashing but didn't create working backups. I asked him also the same question, but I guess you also tried yourself to make a backup and restore from it using TWRP.
Next step will be to flash an Android 8.1 or 9 GSI rom (did I already say I'm amazed by GSI/project treble roms? just found about them last days). I will update you about my luck following your guide

does anyone enable lte bands, 4 and 28?

just bought this phone, currently on shipping..
I'll first try with twrp + aosp 9 GSI

Hi man, have you upgrade to gsi

Stock firmware lenovo k520
I have tried your method on ROM that is based on China and also globally, and TWRP was successfully installed, and I have also tried several Rom GSI, and only AOSP Extended is successful, but with Bluetooth bugs it cannot be turned on, if others want flash files and stock firmware for k520, just let me know, thanks.

Working on S5 Pro too?
Hi! Can it work on S5 Pro too? I really want to root this device and I don't find out a way to get this happening. Thanks!

Does this work for s5 pro l58041?
Thanks

This means no rom is installed in your phone. Either you accidentally wipe system in twrp, or the rom is corrupted.
Download the deodexed stock rom below and flash with twrp. Should fix your problem.

Hello sir thank you for this wonderful tutorial,
But I have a problem , after booting to TWRP , then boot to system after that when I try to go back to recovery mode TWRP , twrp is gone , stock recovery back

How to install Android 10 on Z5 PRO GT
*edit*
If any of you uploade the android 10 zip elsewhere send me the links and after validating the link ill put it up here
Downloads
ADB+FASTBOOT
Android 10 Zip
TWRP
For starters don't try to just install zip via stock recovery it will just error out (THEY KNOW THAT YOU'RE BEING A NAUGHTY BOI AND INSTALLING IT WITHOUT BEING A BETA TESTER)
Before you start be on latest stock firmware
For starters install adb+fastboot drivers
After that go to your phone enable developer options by slammin that build number
Then go to developer options and enable usb debugging and oem unlock
Go to about and write down you IMEI 1 and serial number
Then go to Magical Link Yes
Yes yes its in Chinese i think
Here's a handy little translation for you
{
"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"
}
And apply for bootloader unlock image
Download it and save it somewhere you can find it
Now the fun begins make sure to follow as i say cuz otherwise there's a chance android 10 might not install yes its very picky
Make sure you're on latest official ZUI 11.1.021
Now turn the phone off and power it on holding volume down and power button to boot into bootloader
Now its time to unlock the bootloader
Connect the phone to the computer and open CMD in the fastboot folder place the bootloader unlock img in the same folder
Type in
fastboot flash unlock sn.img
and after that type in
fastboot oem unlock-go
Now your bootloader is unlocked
Now you must boot the phone up and set it up with unlocked bootloader (yes this is important)
Set up the WiFi etc
And make sure to set up a pin and fingerprint
After you finish setup turn off the phone and boot into bootloader again (volume down+ power button)
Now flash TWRP
(put downloaded TWRP image into fastboot folder)
And then type in
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and slam that enter
after its done click vol down few times to boot into the recovery click power button to select
Now when you boot into recovery it will ask you for a password to decrypt stuff (type in the pin/password you set up earlier when setting the phone up and click ok) now it will decrypt the storage
Now there's 2 ways to do this
1st Option
Connect phone to PC and drag the Android 10 zip to the internal storage
2nd option
Drag the firmware to a USB device and plug it in via OTG
Now click install (do not do any wipes)
If you went with the 1st option then select the zip file on internal storage and flash
If you went for 2nd option switch storage to OTG and click zip file and flash
Wait for it to flash
If it errors out that means you didn't listen and didn't set up pin and fingerprint (they are crucial so don't skip them the update somehow relies on them being set up and if they are not it doesn't wanna flash )
However if you did follow the instructions flashing will go well and after a bit it will be done
(Optional)
You can also flash magisk straight after without any reboots
Now back out and turn the phone off not reboot
Now boot into bootloader (vol down+power)
And you will see that your bootloader is locked again yes that's after effect of the firmware flash and fun part is that until you unlock it phone won't boot either cuz you have TWRP installed
Now unlock the bootloader again (scroll up for the instructions) and after that phone will reboot
Now wait few minutes for phone to boot and huzzah you have yourself some android 10 action on Lenovo Z5 Pro GT
(There is a chance firmware can overwrite TWRP to stock recovery if it doesn't just use the instructions above to flash TWRP again)
And that's about it
Enjoy your android 10

thank you its flashing now, after this can we get updates for the beta?

nope as
1 your bootloader will be unlocked
2 you have twrp
3 its internal beta build (thats why we cant just flash it on top of official software)

any bugs that hinder daily use? and how is the antutu score?

Hmm since you need to set-up the phone from ZUI 11 and does not require wiping.. after installing the beta version, does it just update the rom and carry over the setup you did on the previous rom? I'm asking this because my phone have the latest ZUI 11, bootloader unlock and TWRP installed.

Nice. That's good to know! I'll try this beta later when I get home. Can u kindly list the things working and not compared to stable version of ZUI? Thanks

Hey @wolfaas12345
I am very curious if this update has issues with notifications and bluetooth audio. I had those issues with ZUI 11 and i could not fix them (not even with some good advice).
Could you let me know?

I got my notifications working by deleting the zuisecurity app.. I followed instructions from a Russian site called 4pda.. I can't fine the exact instructions I did but they posted another way to do it.
"I personally recommend using the built-in TWRP file manager ( Advanced -> File Manager ). First you need to mount the system partition ( Mount -> [✓] System ). Move the folder / system_root / system / preinstall -> Move -> / sdcard / Backup . Move the folder / system_root / system / priv-app / ZuiSecurity -> Move -> / sdcard / Backup . Go to / data / app*
and select the application folder from which you want to always be informed, and you want this application to be able to start automatically under any conditions -> Move -> / system_root / system / app .
Usually, the rights are already needed, but just in case it’s worth checking, the files have 644, the folders have 755. Choose the folder -> chmod -> 0755 . Select subfolders -> chmod -> 0755 . Select the files inside them -> chmod -> 0644 .
Next, Reboot -> System .
If the system hangs on the bootloop, then try to boot into recovery, and then Wipe -> [✓]Dalvik-cache ."
Text is Russian but chrome translated it so it might be a little different..
Edit:
I found the instruction I mentioned above, but you need PC with adb installed to do it.
"Finally overcame notifications, without root. Via adb demolished Security. And after a while (perhaps reinstalling the prog with notifications and removing Google Services updates helped) notifications went. Access to the permissions menu has become unavailable. Prior to this, nothing helped, neither adding to exceptions / optimizations / permissions in the background / permission notifications / whitelist for autostart and so on, nor reinstalling Google Services. I now manage permissions through the app Ops through adb . Here are the commands for removing Security via adb , the root is not needed
adb pull / system / priv-app / ZuiSecurity /
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.zui.safecenter
The first command backups the folder from Security to the computer, to the folder with adb, the second removes Security itself. Do not forget to reboot at the end"
the first cmd will actually take a bit longer to finish since it will backup all files from system, priv-app, and zuisecurity folders.
second command will remove the zuisecurity app. I suggest u do a full backup using TWRP, and save the backup on a USB, not internal storage as suggested on the russian site.

TWRP gave me an error 7.. I started by installing the rom since I have the latest ZUI and have unlock bootloader already.
I have fingerprint, pin set-up and wifi also. Any ideas?

@hristcroixqwerty
and how are you managing permissions now? all in adb?
what if a new app asks for permissions? do you see a pop up?

Oh I forgot to mention that.. I'm using App Ops for permissions, and yes they still pop up.

try this, it's work for me.
1. flash Zui10 via qfil.
2. relock bootloader
3. ota update to zui11.1
4. unlock bootloader
5. set-up fingerprint and pin
6. flash twrp
7. flash zui11.5 via twrp

So I have to clean wipe again? I don't want to do it then. Base on the tutorial u mentioned, I'm done with the instructions from 1-6 since I'm using this phone with zui11.1 since December with unlock bootloader and TWRP. I don't want to re-setup again, kinda lazy. But anyway thanks for the reply!

Yup there's dark mode base on screen shots I saw on a Facebook page, but unfortunately it's not 100% working on all apps.. Some have still white borders etc etc..

Instructions worked perfect, got it installen without any problems thanks to wolfaas12345.
It does have a dark mode under: settings > developer options > themes > dark.
Did not encounter issues, exept with notifications. Notifications show up but dont make a sound or vibration. Inunstalling zui security and installing app ops did not work.
