This post (#377 on page 38) was originally written under thread "Root Now Available For ASUS MemoPad FHD 10 Model ME302C" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51699593) however OP has not been able to update the original post and this has caused much confusion.

This guide and below links are for USA build only (Goto Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number). WW build needs WW 5016 update and WW 5017 root update files but, indeed, uses the same procedures. DO NOT interchange USA for WW files otherwise you will BRICK. Links for WW 5017 root can be found on previous forum posts. ASUS hosts the WW 5016 update on its support page http://www.service.asus.com/#!downloads/c1wax
AS ALWAYS, BACKUP YOUR DATA! Titanium backup is a good option. Make sure backup files are copied to your PC or external storage
MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED!
Tools Needed:
USA Asus 5016 update - http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME302C/US_ME302C-V5_0_16-0-ota-user.zip
USA 5017 root update - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-6nm7Jks0W5eWxSM0JoZ2FPVGc
For those of you who are already root and would like to update to 5016 it is recommended to download the latest 5016 update (~700mb) directly from Asus website. Please do not do an OTA update as this may fail since you are already root. Make sure that SuperSU survival mode is OFF. Place US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Make sure it has the exact file name US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet. Then copy 5017 root update US_ME302C-V5.0.17-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet. You will then be root. Make sure you install SuperSU by Chainfire from Play Store. For BusyBox use BusyBox X by Robert Nediyakalaparambil as it is x86 compatible.
For those of you who are not rooted the easiest method is to accept the OTA update to 5016. (Alternatively, place US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Make sure it has the exact file name US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet). Then copy 5017 root update US_ME302C-V5.0.17-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet. You will then be root. Make sure you install SuperSU by Chainfire from Play Store. For BusyBox use BusyBox X by Robert Nediyakalaparambil as it is x86 compatible.

1) Install AdsFree from http://adfree.bigtincan.com
2) Review the German forum (link at top) for apps that can be safely frozen or uninstalled via Titanium Backup
Please note avoid OTA updates after root is obtained otherwise you will loose root or maybe worse. Keep up to date with developments on this thread for rooting methods when and if Asus release new updates. @perpe recommends all future updates be installed via the internal storage method.

Step by Step Guide for root via Fastboot Method for US version 4.7.3 or below: (read above instructions first as it is much easier to update and root using alternative methods)
Please note that tablet with versions higher than 4.7.3 no longer have the ability to use the fastboot method as this has been disabled by Asus in the latest versions. Some members have suggested downgrading fastboot to 4.7.3 if you have a later version. However this is not recommended and could result in problems. Fastboot downgrade should only be a last resort and limited to advanced users:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
(fastboot.img can be found inside the 4.7.3 release on the ASUS website. You can extract fastboot.img from the ~700mb update using 7 zip. Or download USA build here: http://support.mediafire.com/download/dk487lcxqfsgau6/fastboot473.zip )

One little note:
fastboot flash update <name-of-the.zip> only works with the 4.2.2 fastboot. On 4.3 it only works with small zips, like the fake update.zip for root.
The easiest way to update is to place the update zip on to the internal storage and select the triangle from the notification bar to start the update process. (it's the same way like with the root zip)

Beware
Hey Guys, after I applied these "updates" and checked root (positive) I installed the Xposedframework , when I rebooted my Memo , it does not get much further then the ASUS logo and never-ending busy circle. I will attempt a factory reset, and let you all know.
Just posting this message to make sure you have your backup done as mentioned in the first post. It could be painful otherwise!
Hi
can u help me root asus zenfone 5 ?
or tell me how to make a update ota zip flashable to flashed on stock recovery..
thx for reply me...
Hi all. Thanks for the great post. This forum helps a lot who would other wise be lost.
I am a bit confused about the methods posted in the opening post. The first method explains DL the files and install from internal storage which seems simple enough. But then I scrolled down to see the second method via fastboot.
I would prefer to use the first method as it appears simple as I have said. But unsure which I should use.
Also how can I backup without root access?
Thanks for your help

Edit: I jumped in and used the procedure described in "For those of you who are not rooted "(or the second method of the first 2). It worked. My memopad is now rooted and appears to be operating fine. Thank you to the author of this post.

Try plugging it into a computer or rebooting.
Would installing the latest version of the firmware get rid of the root access? V5.0.19 is the latest, from the end of May. http://usterki.hobby-elektronika.eu/biazet.html

Yes and you risk to get big trouble if SuperSU survival mode is active. For save updating you have to remove root first.

I just wanted to say:
I got the Memo Pad FHD 10: It lagged in slowness a bit in a few well known apps. Also when browsing the internet. Also the kicker for knowing I had to 'Root' was certain apps use the 'System font' for Chinese-Pinyin display. Asus-Memo Factory-font does not display accented characters well. But the standard setting do not allow adjustment to the System-font.
Your Easy instructions under: 'For those who are not rooted'... Were simple. I downloaded the two files... 5.0.16 (Although: Note I needed to rename, the 5.016, to exactly match what you said. The filename was slightly different.)
I was a little scared, even though I had already upgraded the firmware of my Tablet to 51.31, but another poster had that number as well, so I decided to boldly press-on.
Then I put the 5.017 and boom... and installed the SuperSU file as instructed... and a way I went! Thanx! Thankx! :good: I put on HiFonts and found a font that was suitable for the system. The pad is also now so much snappier!!! I hope that doesn't mean the battery is now going to drain at an alarming rate. I haven't tested that yet. :
GPS Working 5017

Is anyone else having an issue with the GPS on the device on 5016 rooted with the 5017 using the 'intrepid' link above. A favorite app we use: 'Copilot', does not get past "determining position". I'm speaking of when the device does not have an internet connection.
The app I speak about is designed to work without only the GPS available. But since I'm on an odd build, instead of checking with the problems on those ends. I figured, I worry first about the build itself.
I know this may be quite an old thread, but I've stupidly updated my fathers tablet to 5.0.21, and in the process lost root. Is there any trouble with following this method to get back to 5.0.17 and rooting the tablet? After updating I saw no difference, and thus no need to lose root access.
http://www.gory.pun.pl/viewforum.php?id=5
Is there an alternative to getting root? I've tried towel root and framaroot but neither of these worked.
To this day this tablet has treated me well...Is there any kitkat roms floating around the web for this tablet?

What works depends on what you were doing before this issue appeared.
If you can read German, you can check:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/a...k-asus-memo-pad-fhd-10-ab-android-4-3.528918/
I'd recommend trying the RAW update.
Ok now I have the same problem with everyone having this tablet. Many of the apps have been upgraded in the world, but no longer support Android 4.3 anymore. We need at least 5.0 to work. And I can find no custom-roms. At first search I thought one was available, but then found it was not for the ME302C. The 'C' version is the intel chip. We need a wizard to create a rom.

How did you get the bootloader unlocked to be able to install a custom recovery and then a ROM to begin with? I chatted with Asus support just now and they said that for the ME302C they never made an unlock tool which I don't believe. I have an ME301T and they made the tool for it and I was able to unlock the bootloader, root and custom ROM. I was going to root my friend's ME302C but without being able to unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM I don't see the point. Thanks in advance!
Asus ME302KL will this be the same process?
Hello to everyone.
I'm using Lenovo A560 and want to root it to delete all those junk, built-in apps so that my RAM usage will decrease. I have tried many times using various root software (rootgenius, kingo, framaroot) yet didn't successful to root my a560. I have already installed usb driver for lenovo a560. Anyone can help me? I already have tried to root my phone like in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769260 thread but still the same problem occurred.
When i used rootgenius, my phone just reboot and reboot until 86% and the process failed. same on the kingo (except my phone did not reboot like before, it just failed after a reboot). In framaroot, the #error 6 message pop out.
Anyone can help me how to root my phone please? My phone system:
Android 4.3
Baseband ver : A560_A_0001_140330
Kernel Ver: 3.4.0-g80ec9c8-01182-gb30d6a7-dirty [email protected] #6
Build Num : A560_S010_143330
#just put every details for that i'm a newbie in these things. Any help would be very appreciated. (manual root not recommended, but still can try~)
Thanks!
Same problem here. Anyone can help please? Android 4.3 running on Lenovo A560.
problem solved.
I finally managed to root my a560 by installing the driver from the phone into the PC . Then I used iRoot to root my phone. It works! I followed the methods provided by a Russian blog (cannot post outside link because I'm a new user,credit to the blog)
Here's the methods (translated, contains grammar errors).
Remember, you're doing it at your own risk. The site administrator can not be held liable for the actions that you make.
1. Download and install the program on your computer VRoot
2. Disable antivirus (as needed).
3. Run the program, connect the device to your computer (if it is not defined, then try to install the drivers from the official site of your device). On the phone should be included: Debugging via USB, install from unknown sources in the USB connection must be uncheck MTP and Camera (RTR).
4. Once the device is determined, press the bottom right button green "ROOT", and wait.
5. Then, after the last window, the device will reboot (And it can be disconnected from the computer).
6. Root entitled to receive!
Russification (Thanks to Timur):
- Set on the PC this Chinese VRoot
- Put on sotik "Chinese" root-rights
- Then go to the Play Store, we set out SuperSU
- Run it, he will offer to update binary.
- Click to continue, and then click "OK". Pops request of the Chinese root.
- Press the right button zelёnenkuyu. After SuperSU say that the installation is successful, it will prompt you to delete other applications control root-access.
- Click "Yes" forward (SuperSU remove our "Chinese" and replace it with a more simply). Writes again about the successful installation.
Note : The phone will ask you something in Chinese after you root the phone. Just click the right button when the phone pop-up something after you root. This is because right button is the 'YES' and left one is 'NO' and i think that is the phone is asking for root permission.
P/s : for some reason I cannot delete the pre-installed software on my phone, even using root explorer. Anyway, the softwares that need the phone rooted can be installed.

thank a lot!:good::good::good:
this method saved my tablet!! I almost had discarded it!!
some notes:
after installation and reboot my tablet stuck on asus logo few reboot didn't solve it. so i entered boot menu and performed a factory reset. then it passed asus logo and every things got OK except some force close messages on google services such as google play and google apps. I think update will solve them.
< waiting for device >
what should i do ?
Thanks, man
thanks a ton, yaar. your post saved my tab. I was enduring the man-made disaster (Lollipop update to FonePad7) for more than an year. Actually used it exclusively as a WiFi device due to buggy telephony software. This had been a global phenomena, still ASUS didn't care to release a downgrade option. Not even acknowledge it. I contacted their customer care and was advised to take the tab to service center!!! (what is he going to do if the company doesn't have an official downgrade option?). I was really impressed by the quality of ASUS hardware and also bought Zenfone2 for my wife.
But now i learnt my lesson: NO MORE UPDATE AND NO MORE ASUS.
Asus ME1775CG
ASUS me175cg Lollipop ww 6.3.9. In normal mode PC detects both internal and external memory. But when It boots to droid boot mode it shows "no usb cable connected" and selecting "install from sd card" option shows "unable to mount the sd card partition" How to solve this issue.

I have absolutly the same problem.What is the solution?
*** Use at your own risk these instructions worked for me on MY tablets that is no guarantee they will work for you ***
This is for the ProScan PLT9650G(K-1G-8G) tablet. It has the RockChip RK3126 chipset. The one I am working with was purchased in Canada at the Atlantic Superstore. I will just briefly outline what I needed and had to do to root and install a TWRP recovery on the tablet. See the attachment for the recovery image. I will explain how to get the programs and general steps to make a full backup of the tablet before ever rooting the device. It is a little difficult, and not necessary, but like any backup can be helpful to have around.
Specifications:
The ProScan tablet has:
- Android Lollipop 5.1.1;
- Quad-core Processor, 1.2Mhz;
- 1 GB of DDR3 Memory;
- 8GB Flash Storage;
- 800x480 Screen Resolution.
Backup Overview:
1) Install USB drivers;
2) Put tablet in bootloader mode;
3) Read the different partitions.
Tools Needed:
1) Rockchip Driver Assistant v4.3;
2) Android Tool v2.3.
Detailed Instructions:
This tablet is a newer version and requires at least version 4.3 of the Rockchip Driver Assistant. The older versions (4.1) won't recognize the USB product id (310D) in bootloader mode.
Download the drivers unrar and run DriverInstall.exe. Select uninstall to clean any old drivers and then select install to install the newer ones. I've done this under Windows 7/8.1/10. Since I've done it so often and so many times with different driver version, I can't remember if the bootloader drivers require you install them with the driver signing turned off or not. The problem becomes that the bootloader drivers (under Windows 8+) will fail the driver signing authentication and won't install. The ADB and MTP drivers are signed and will install correctly, but when you boot the tablet in bootloader mode the device will be unrecognized by Windows. If you end up with this problem follow these instructions and then install the drivers.
After testing on a new machine under Windows 10 the drivers install fine. There is no need to boot with driver signing verification turned off.
To put the tablet in bootloader mode follow thes instructions:
1) Unplug tablet (both power and usb);
2) Turnoff tablet;
3) Press and hold the esc and power buttons at the same time;
4) Hold until the stock recovery menu comes up;
5) Press the esc button to go down to the menu item saying bootloader;
6) Press the power button to execute that menu item.
The screen will go blank. Plug the tablet into the computer and it will be recognized as a device type "Class for rockusb devices" in the Windows Device Manager.
Download the Android Tool from the link provided. The link gives a detailed description of how to backup all the partitions. I have included my parameters.txt file that I created. From the standpoint of undoing the root operation described below I believe only the recovery and system partition needs to be saved. But saving all the partitions never hurts. After you have followed the information in the link and saved the partitions you can move on to rooting the device.
One serious warning I have NOT been able to write anything to the device using the Android Tool. It always give me an error and won't even try. The backups we create can be used from within the tablet to restore it later if needed.
Custom Recovery Overview:
1) Root device;
2) Download the image file on the tablet;
3) Flash the recovery partition with the image file.
Tools Needed:
1) KingRoot;
2) Terminal Application;
Root Device:
The device rooted using KingRoot. Startup the tablet and go through the setup process. Download the apk from the link provided. The version used in testing was 4.6.2. You will need to allow "Unknown sources". The app will eventually give a button just try to root. This will eventually work and the tablet will be rooted.
Extract the img file from within the zip file below onto the internal drive. Make sure you put it in the Download directory. If you are doing this from the tablet it should go there if you move it over using the computer make sure you put it in that directory or change the command below to the proper directory.
Install a terminal emulator. Anyone will do, the one I chose is linked above. Open the emulator and type:
Code:
su
at the prompt. KingRoot should prompt you asking if you want to grant root privilege to the command prompt. Then type the command:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/Download/TWRP_800x480_Unified.img of=/dev/block/rknand_recovery bs=4096
. That's it if you type:
Code:
reboot recovery
the tablet will reboot and TWRP should start up.
Notes:
If you saved the original system partition you can install it using TWRP and effectively unroot the device but keep the TWRP recovery. With the recovery image you can install it over the TWRP and return the tablet to its stock state. I'm giving these tablets to my kids and I wanted a way to return them to the state I bought them plus after I've personalized them for each of my kids I can make a backup in case they do something that messes them up.
This will also work for the PLT1065G but you need to use different recovery/parameters. The kernel is different (looks like a different touchscreen).
Thanks for this. Got one for $50 at Loblaws today. Will attempt rooting.
Got it for my 6 yr old
Edit: Fixed boot issue

I have had it stuck. It was when I was testing things. I can't remember what I did. I do know one time I left it for a day and I noticed the ProScan logo had a flashing cursor in it.

I've been fiddling with it and it seems to be completely random. So I guess it's something we'll have to live with.
I bought it for my 6 year old who's dying to play Pokemon Go. The app runs okay on it. It's just the 'GPS' (or lack of a proper GPS chip) that's a bit slow/inaccurate
Hello I to bought this tablet in Canada I successfully rooted it but is there a reason why no other cameras can be downloaded or Music players or Instagram.

There is a way to create an SDCARD and it will run from the SDCARD. I've forgotten how . I'm looking at one of my kids cracked ones right now. The touchscreen is cracked so I'm looking at build Ubuntu for it. I'll post when I figure out the SDCARD again.
Reset tablet to factory
I was able to use the factory irmware to reset the tablet from a computer. It will over write any custom recovery, etc. I have been unable to recreate a custom image any changes make the image fail. I found the software I used to create a bootable SDCARD but I can't get it to work keeps failing on creating the MBR. The software was the Rockchip SD Firmware Tool and there is an option to create SD Boot. So far I can only find v1.43 anyone have v1.45?
Let me know here as soon as you just remember anything related to this.
I got another tab like this, screen cracked and I could read off its firmware, so I now have a working firmware waiting to be written...

How did you flash the image? what software did you use,
Thanks.
it's not possible to change the rom or custom image of the tablet to another operating system like ubuntu or linux. It has allow OEM bootloader unlocked in the settings in developer section greyed out and it doesn't allow oem bootloader unlocking 'enabled'. You cannot enable it.
What you are doing is just resetting the factory image. or rom. you can just push the reset button with pin after charging the tablet for 3 hours.
These tablets are not 'cheap' to make and google, cell phone companies subsidize these 'cheap' tablets. so you have to use and pay them when you subscribe to their cell phone 'service' or google advertisements when you use their 'service'.
Lots of vaporware being pushed saying they can unlock something for $40 or downloading tools etc. wasted of time as it's impossible to unlock oem BOOTLOADER if the manufacture has locked it, you cannot install another operating system in the tablet, or smart phone. so don't waste your time.
Only some phones allow oem unlocking bootloader and those are the higher end phones costing $400-$600 for a tablet that are not 'subsidized' by google or you cell phone company as with 'cheap' phone or tablet.
the firmware is not available for download at the manufacture website that should raise alarms about the firmware. I've factory reset the device and now it's having reboot issues, either the firmware is defective or corrupt bootloader etc. The manufacture proscan seems to be selling the devices yet no technical support or even a direct download from the manufacture, downloading firmware from thirdparty servers is security risk. it seems like today lots bogus websites and no technical support from manufacturers in tech devices they sell. and people have to sites like XDA for 'free' technical support. Even Microsoft which makes billions in profits fail to provide proper technical support for some reason. and have to rely on 'free' technical support for bugs and issues with their software and hardware and lots vaporware apps etc.. bogus apps. that don't work.
Rooting gives the user the ability to install and change OEM software. from what i gather so don't waste your time, to root a device, allows the user to delete operating system files. if the manufacture doesn't allow changing the oem software there is nothing you can do. about so don't waste time trying root it or try to install ubuntu or linux on the tablet or smartphone if it's oem LOCKED. bootloader. you cannot unlock it. it's much harder to unlock oem software.
the method to 'restore' factory image or known as 'flashing the rom'
there is no reason to flash the rom etc.
1. just hold the power button and esc button at the same time
2. release the power button wait 2 seconds
and then release the esc button
you should now be in boot up mode.
this unit doesn't allow you to be in bootloader mode. so you CANNOT install another firmware or install linux etc. other than the proscan firmware.
3. press esc to select restore the factory settings
4. press the power button to select
this the easiest way to restore stuck in browser or need to flash the rom
again if the rom is 'corrupt' which is not likely
if that is the case
the option to "apply update from external storage" doesn't seem to work as you cannot mount to flash the rom and reinstall the .img file from the .zip file
"apply update from external storage"
where you saved your .zip doesn't work
the apply updated from ADB works you need a usb computer hooked up to you computer and terminal command to ADB to your table to rinstall the .imge file
update ,this no longer seems to work in installing the .zip file method to install the firmware.
lot of software and hardware that have no technical support or documentation and the stuff just doesn't seem to work and high security risk with no updates from manufacture as it cost them money to resolve issues. selling disposable technology tablets. that is not meant to last. basically toys. for kids.
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL]
HOW TO INSTALL
LINEAGEOS 16 BETA 6 NO GAPPS
ON HUAWEI DEVICES
17th December 2020
Authored by: RK aka Klorofill_YUM aka Purrrturbed
Tested on the following devices:
Mate 10 Lite (Kirin 659 SoC)
SPECIAL NOTE #1: To unlock the bootloader the device must be on a firmware earlier than Android 8, thus Android 7, or Android 6, Android 5 will be fine, if using the DC-Unlocker method.
Additionally, the device must be with a security patch earlier than 1 June 2018. Make sure device is supported by DC-Unlocker, check here (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones)
SPECIAL CREDIT TO USER "Chaosdave34" *see comments: Unlocking the bootloader is possible on Android 8 using the PotatoNV method.
SPECIAL NOTE #2: To install LineageOS the device must be on EMUI 8, therefore on Android 8 with an unlocked bootloader. Additionally, the device must be a supported device - please check OpenKirin’s devices list. All of this considered: in order to satisfy these 2 special requirements this may result in the need for both downgrading and upgrading firmware throughout the following steps. Also, keep in mind: TWRP and other custom recoveries are not supported! Please ensure that the device’s stock recovery installed. Please do not use TWRP or any custom recovery, the following install method will work perfectly fine with only the stock recovery installed. Make sure device is supported by OpenKirin, check here (See link: 4.https://openkirin.net/devices/)
SPECIAL NOTE #3: It is required that the device being used in is supported by both DC-Unlocker and OpenKirin, if the device does not satisfy both of those requirements, this tutorial is not for that devices. Many files that are mentioned throughout this tutorial are included in the 'Packed by RK' folder. The method is this tutorial is not officially supported by OpenKirin. The Author has no affiliation with OpenKirin or DC-Unlocker. Try at your own risk, the author does not take responsibility for bricked devices.
On the Android device: Turn on "Enable OEM unlock" & "USB Debugging" options, they are turned on from developer options.
On the PC: Install HiSuite onto a PC via plugging in the Huawei phone to a PC - This will install all of the required drivers
Backup any device data to be kept. Installing an OpenKirin ROM for the first time requires a factory reset!
On the PC: Install ADB & Fastboot using 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 (see link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979) Downloads: Version 1.4.3 (see link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037)
On the PC: Install process for adb: Run program (Require administrator privileges), then Press Y/Yes to install ADB and Fastboot or N/No to skip, then Press Y/Yes to install ADB system-wide or N/No for current user only, then Press Y/Yes to install Drivers or N/No to skip, and finally Continue Driver installation and 15 seconds passed - finished!
Notes about adb installation: System-wide: ADB and Fastboot are installed to %SystemDrive%\adb directory, and added system-wide path. And, current user only: ADB and Fastboot are installed to %UserProfile%\adb directory, and added path for current user. CMD can use ADB and Fastboot from any directory. Drivers are installed to system - no need to install them from directories.
Now that adb is installed, to continue, the Huawei device must have its bootloader unlocked. Do not skip this step. Do not attempt to load LineageOS ROM unless the bootloader is unlocked. In the follow steps, instructions will be provided for unlocking the bootloader. Please follow the next steps carefully
SPECIAL WARNING: If the device runs Android 8 or later with latest security patch then this DC-unlock service won't work! (See “Special Note #1” mentioned earlier) - It is important downgrade and restore an earlier firmware if the device is on Android 8.
With both the Android device and PC: It is strongly recommended to use HiSuite now to downgrade the Huawei phone to its earliest firmware. Plug in the Huawei Phone, open HiSuite > Updates > Other Versions > Earlier Version > Click Restore
On the PC: Download and then install DC-Unlock from the homepage: (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/), or install DC-Unlock from the Packed by RK folder (See filename: dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1431.zip)
On the Android device: Connect phone to PC via USB. Then, enable "manufacturer mode" on the phone. This is done by entering the following code into the dial pad: code *#*#2846579#*#* (SPECIAL NOTE #4: On tablets without dial pad use in-built calculator in landscape mode to dial ()()2846579()()= )
On the Android device: Now, Select "Project Menu" > "Background settings" > "USB ports settings" > "Manufacture mode".
On the PC: Launch DC-unlocker software
On the PC: Detect device by selecting Huawei phones from the manufacturers drop down menu list, "Select model" leave on Auto detect (recommended), then read the info on software for how to correctly prepare phone for detection. After phone is prepared, connected to PC and it's drivers installed, click magnifying glass button. Now, wait till program detects it
On the PC: The information the software will display now will look like something more or less similar to the example below:
DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.1431
Detecting phone :
selection :
manufacturer - Huawei phones
model - Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone (new)
Selected Applications port COM6
Model : Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone (new)
Serial NR. : 2VN5T17A29000000
Firmware : System 5.1.0.98(08SN)
On the PC: Open Server tab, enter your username and password that you received after credits purchase. To purchase credits, this is can be done via paypal. (Buy credits here, see link: www.dc-unlocker.com/buy). Now, click "Check login" button.
SPECIAL NOTE #5: Unfortunately there is no way to do this that doesn't require paying a company - this is not a shameless plug for DC-Unlocker. The author of this tutorial does not work for nor is paid buy DC-Unlocker. The unfortunate reality is that at the moment, this paid service is the easiest and fastest method that works for unlocking the bootloader. This does not require opening the device and using the testpoint. That being said, in the opinion off the author, this DC-Unlocker service is well worth the price. For more information on getting credit, username, and password with DC-Unlocker check this source. (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-get-username-password) If a username and password exists, and this method is familiar, then just add credits to the existing account and login to DC-Unlocker program clicking the "Check login" button.
On the PC: Open Unlocking tab, click “READ BOOTLOADER CODE” button. Then, wait for code to be provided. Now there is a bootloader code. This is needed for unlocking the bootloader. Save the bootloader code, this is the UNLOCK KEY.
On the Android device: Return the phone now to its original mode by exiting manufacturing mode, otherwise it might not function properly.
On the Android device: Please double check that USB debugging is enabled. Then, plug the phone into the PC.
On the Android device: A popup will appear on the phone screen asking whether to allow the PC to access the phone. Authorize the request.
On the PC: Open ADB by going to the directory where adb was installed and saved and open CMD/Terminal (Shift+Right-click > open Power Shell or Command Line).
On the PC: In the command line: type the following command, only use what is written between the " " : "adb devices"
Your devices should be listed in the adb window, if it isn't, either you didnt install the adb driver properly, or your usb port has problem
On the PC: In the command line: the following code will reboot the phone to fastboot mode, now type the following command: "adb reboot bootloader"
SPECIAL NOTE #6: There is another method to enter fastboot mode manually: Follow the next steps:
On the PC: Keep ADB command prompt open
On the Android device: disconnect it from the PC, unplug the USB, Shut down the phone, Press and hold Volume Down button and then connect the USB cable to your phone. Phone should now be in fastboot mode.
On the PC: Once the phone is booted up to the fastboot mode screen, using the adb command line, now type the following command: "fastboot oem unlock [your UNLOCK KEY here]" - Enter this command without the brackets, for example like: fastboot oem unlock 12345678901234
On the Android device: Confirmation dialog should appear on the phone screen, and give warning about unlocking the bootloader. Follow the instructions on screen, select Yes to unlock. The device will now unlock, please be aware all data on the phone will be wiped with a factory reset. Once the unlocking process is finished, the phone will boot up to the initial set up. At the start of every bootup, a warning screen mentioning unlocked bootloader will be displayed.
On the Android device: Get past the initial setup. Set everything up through the initial setup, this doesn’t have to be a complete thorough set up. It is recommended to skip all the account settings, security settings, and other settings because later steps in this tutorial will require yet another factory reset again.
On the Android device: Please update to Android 8 now. It is sufficient to update upto the first earliest Android 8 update, it is unnecessary to update to the latest update available. Now that the bootloader is unlocked, the device must be running EMUI 8.0 in order to install LineageOS 16 Beta 6 by OpenKirin - If the phone was downgraded in order to unlock the bootloader, the phone must now be upgraded via OTA in the phone's settings menu. Please update to Android 8 now - Other versions are not supported and will likely brick the device.
On the Android device: Get past the initial setup again. Once finished with the initial setup, go to phone settings and re-enable USB Debugging option in developer options
With both the Android device and PC: Plug the phone into the computer via USB, and from your adb command line, now type the following command: "adb reboot bootloader"
On the PC: Go to the OpenKirin Downloads page and download the ROM to install. OpenKirin downloads can be found here: (see link: https://openkirin.net/download/) or alternatively, find LineageOS 16 Build 6 included in the 'Packed by RK' folder.
On the PC: If the ROM downloaded is compressed (file ends with extension .xz), extract the ROM .img file from the compressed file. On Windows PC: either WinRAR or 7-Zip can be used to extract the file.
On the PC: Once .img file is uncompressed , place the .img file in the same folder as the installed adb fastboot (credit: OpenKirin)
On the Android device: Power off the device. Then enter fastboot mode. (See step 20 and special note #6 which mentions how to enter fastboot mode earlier in this tutorial)
SPECIAL NOTE #7: The fastboot mode screen must show “PHONE Unlocked” and “FRP Unlock” - Do not continue if that is not shown.
With both the Android device and PC: Once on the fastboot screen, keep the device connected to your PC
On the PC: Open a command line terminal in the same directory as adb fastboot and the copied the ROM .img file. Then, in the command window, enter the following command: “fastboot flash system <name-of-rom-image-file>.” Press enter, and see the ROM flashed.
On the PC: Once it’s completed, type the following command: “fastboot reboot”
On the Android device: Unplug the phone now - The phone may reboot quickly and launch right into the new software ROM, but it is absolutely needed to turn off the device. Turn off the the device.
Before booting up and using the ROM, it is needed to perform a factory reset in the stock recovery. Do not continue without performing a factory reset.
On the Android device: Now that the device is off, to boot into recovery, hold down Power + VolUp at the same time, and keep them held until the Huawei/Honor logo appears on your screen. If done correctly, the recovery menu will be on screen.
On the Android device: In the recovery menu, press the “Wipe data/factory reset” button.
Reboot the device and begin enjoying the ROM!

Do you have tutorial to run xposed or Edxposed?
Hello Readers!
I hope you all are well, I finally got my hands on a Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017 for testing.
I have to say I have to regretfully inform that I have come accross an unexpected roadblock.
I can say as of now, the method described in this tutorial does not work for the Mate 10 or the P8 Lite 2017.
I got stuck at step 8:
With both the Android device and PC: It is strongly recommended to use HiSuite now to downgrade the Huawei phone to its earliest firmware. Plug in the Huawei Phone, open HiSuite > Updates > Other Versions > Earlier Version > Click RestoreWhen I connected both of these phone models to HiSuite I discovered it was impossible for me to roll back and downgrade the phones. The Mate 10 on the latest EMUI 10 would only roll back to Android 9.0. The P8 Lite 2017 would only roll back to and early Android 8.0 and it would fail to download Android 7, every time i tried to load, with a warning message stating the install fails due to lack space.
I can use your help: if you can verify my findings on your end by replicating the steps that i wrote in my tutorial, that can help me prove for certian these steps do not work for the Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017. All of the steps worked perfectly fine for my Mate 10 Lite but, as it seems now, it is impossible for me to downgrade the Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017 to Android 7 at this time, therefore the DC-Unlocker bootloader unlocking cannot be performed.

1. If the rollback option is not available with your HiSuite ("switch to the older version", "Earlier version"...), you must downgrade to the lower Oreo build version number doing the dload method (flashing Service ROM for your model and REGION (Cxxx)! This process will erase all your data! You can also try chinese HiSuite (with an .exe extension instead of _OVE).
2. You should be able to use DCUnlocker (hcu-client) on Oreo, but you may need to downgrade first ( to a firmware version before July 2018). Downgrading can be done with the dload method , using Service ROM downloaded on androidhost.ru .
I have an unlocked Bootloader but Android 8 with newest Security Patch, does the Rom also work or need I downgrade to Oreo with security patch from Juli

Hello, please do kindly share how you were able to unlock the bootloader whilst still on Android 8.
With this tool https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV.
I'm asking because I tried to install twrp recovery, but it hangs on startup and I don't want to brick my device.
I have now downgraded my RNE-L21 to Security Patch Juli 2018. The bootloader is unlocked and stock recovery is flashed. Is it now possible to install Custom Rom?

Alf is a good editor! He spotted my error.
Yes if you have bootloader unlocker, stock recovery , and android 8, your device fits all of thr requirements to install LineageOS.
See: "It is sufficient to update upto the first earliest Android 8 update, it is unnecessary to update to the latest update available. Now that the bootloader is unlocked, the device must be running EMUI 8.0 in order to install LineageOS 16 Beta 6 by OpenKirin"
And see: SPECIAL NOTE #2: To install LineageOS the device must be on EMUI 8, therefore on Android 8 with an unlocked bootloader.

Would assume it not possible because "Additionally, the device must be with a security patch earlier than 1 June 2018."

Congrats, this serves as a testimonial that loading LineageOS 16 works, and that this tutorial is a sufficient guide.
Today I've rebooted my phone and after entering my unlockcode the screen went black and I'm back at login. Here is the logcat (I did it 3x to reproduce the Error):

Did you get it to work. I have a Mate 10 lite with android 8 and emui 8.0 with August 1 security patch. Thinking of trying potatoNV and custom rom. But I won't risk briking my phone cz i have no replacement. Can you provide with the details you weny through? And i see that when u flashes twrp u got stuck. Then how did you manage to get the custom RoM running without twrp. And how did you get it to work after getting stuck.
