Ok ....

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.

Great.. i will try this method tonight

[Outdated] How to unlock and root your new Honor 8x. Instructions inside

January 2023 Edit: The guide below is now outdated.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.html​FunkyHuawei: 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+bootloader​​Alternate 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.zip​And 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.

To my knowledge, only the 8x Max has a Qualcomm chipset. All of the regular 8x devices have a Kirin one.

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?

Not really. It's the same story for all new Huawei/Honor devices, since they stopped supporting bootloader unlocks.

Excuse me, do you know why to give you unlock bootloader code they ask your phone number, your home address as well as second IMEI number? It's really necessary? Thank you

Second IMEI number is required to generate unlock code. Other... I write fake address etc ,?

Download official Nokia USB Drivers (ADB, Fastboot & others)
HMD Global is making Nokia branded phones for a few years now. However, there is still no official webpage at Nokia.com from where you can download device drivers. On most Nokia phones, the Nokia USB drivers come bundled. A CD ROM will show on the computer when you connect the phone. The Nokia...
www.techmesto.com
So they only give away a few free unlocks per day. If I remember correctly they're based East Coast US time, so I made sure I was online around midnight EST, and got a free unlock. I had to try quite a few times, and it didn't work until a while AFTER midnight, (maybe around 10 to 15 mins after).

Hi,
I too own a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1089) model and have successfully rooted it.
Here are the steps I followed:
Download and install "adb and fastboot" tool on your system
Follow this Boot loader unlock guide by Techmesto and ensure your boot loader gets unlocked properly.
Many guides recommend using TWRP, but I say use "Magisk" (basis my personal experience)
Download the latest version of Magisk from this another guide by Techmesto and follow the steps listed under "Root method #1."
Few Special Pointers:
If in case you're unable to find any relevant "Magisk patched boot images" for your device, you can opt for "Root method #2" listed in the above guide.
I would highly recommend that you "DO NOT USE" TWRP V.3.3.1 as suggested in the guide. I used that version and bricked my device. So, Google for "twrp-3.4.0-0-PL2_sprout-11.0-20200909.img" file and use it as that worked for me.
Ensure that you're BOOTING into TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp.img>
as flashing the TWRP got me stuck on its splash screen for eternity.
The first time you boot into TWRP, it might ask you for a password to decrypt data. Use your phone password" (Example - 0000 in my case) and the decryption will start automatically.
Feel free to reach out in case any pointer confuses you OR you're stuck anywhere.
Cheers,
Manu

[CLOSED]Force Unlocking Bootloader on Nokia 6.1

Hey,
I have been searching for an answer to this for quite a while, and I've found some information. Before you start bashing me in the comments, I do know that Nokia has disabled unlocking bootloaders on certain devices. My question is, is there 100% no (free) way of unlocking the bootloader on my phone, or just in general to get root. I am running Android 9, and I do have adb (of course).
Thank!

Also interested in this ... Don't want to let someone mess around with my phone .. used to do it myself

Short answer, no. By the looks of it there are currently no free tools, etc.
Long answer, yes but not accessible for us currently. There are ways to gain root access/unlock the bootloader on every device. Currently there are some unpatched exploits (that sometimes cannot even be fixed) in the Linux and Android system that are able to root devices, etc. The last few years showed that Baseband (proprietary Qualcomm code), the RAM (Rowhammer, Rampage) and other device features are attackable. Maybe KingoRoot or someone else might implement these exploits in the following years, and we get a free utility to root devices.

I'm quite new to this rooting stuff, therefore a few stupid questions:
I read that with old security patches, before Aug 2018 (was that still Android Pie?) it was possible to unlock the bootloader. Isn't there some way to downgrade the security patch to a version allowing to unlock?
Is it at all required to unlock the bootloader in order to be able to install LineageOS as provided by this link?
many thanks!
EDIT: Can you recommend any working alternative way to unlock the bootloader?

August 2018 would have been Oreo and YES currently you have to roll back to unlock bootloader. It's a PAID service to have this done. @singhnsk can aid you in doing this service. I as well as many others have used him to unlock our devices. You will have to use Team Viewer and let him remotely do his work.
Good luck!!

And actually, the main question is how to unlock? Bootloaderunlocker.apk dont work, it say me "google service error" help me please

Just to clarify point 3.
3. Now turn developer option on again click OK and as soon as you do you will be returned to previous menu. Immediately click "OEM unlocking", it will show a message and ask your password, (if set), and work.

Please, someone, help me
My Device SKU: XT1789-05

These coolicool phones always come with the wrong firmware install, the simple solution to that is to flash the correct firmware which is plain old RETAIL. Solved. That's for anyone who might have or end up with one of these phones.
As for your phone and since you're in the situation you are I'd flash VZW pie. That isn't the correct firmware for your phone, but you've got a locked BL with VZW on it now and nothing is working. Since your ultimate goal is to flash pie anyways, that's what I'd do. Maybe that will clean up your system enough to enable oem unlock. If you can get your BL unlocked, then you're half way there. Surely by now you've realized that you haven't got many if any options.

Yes, I put my self in prison by locking bootloader, I already downloaded this firmware, but how can I update this firmware via ADB Sideload or Micro SD?
as you know bootloader locked and there isn't a simple way, with locked bootloader I can't flash this file, (Remote Failure) error
thanks a lot

Yes, I did, not work

Hi, could you solve your problem? I have a moto xt1789-05 with the bootloader locked and it doesn't allow me to start the developer options. I'm looking for a solution if you could?

You need to elaborate. Is oem unlocking grey out? Are you signed into google services? Do you have wifi and/or radio?

thank you for responding 41rw4lk, what happens is that I can not access because it does not pass from the logo of motorola then it restarts when i try flash whith the retail version of brazil, but when i flash whith the versions at&t oreo or amx of telcel when turning on the moto I get the message your device is corrupt it cant be trusted and will not boot. I have seen some videos In which it has worked but not specify the bootloader status

You shouldn't flash firmware from other variants like att, etc. However, if you're able to flash those firmwares and not get any permission denied errors then your bootloader is unlocked, which is good. If you have NOT flashed a pie firmware, good, do NOT do it until everything is up and running and you're sorted. If you have, then you'll need to use pie firmware to fix it since once you flash a pie modem there is no going back to an oreo modem.
Run this command from bootloader/fastboot mode and post back your output.

fastboot getvar all
