Do you have a copy of the CWM recovery for EMUI 3.0 Honor Plus 6? I tried your procedure and the recovery did not work and I have trouble with the bootloader unlock and had to use a different method to get the unlock code.
Can you provide me with the actual CWM or TWRP recovery please?

did huawei release kernel for Honor 6 plus
Hey. Has anyone managed to get the unlock code out of Huawei for the Honor 6+ PR-TL10 recently I've read that people have had an issue with it and noticed that at least one other poster here had had an issue getting one off them. I get an error on the site saying I'm to email them, from what I've read on other threads though they haven't been forth coming with the unlock codes. Did anyone manage to get it out of them or find another solution. I'm trying to root my phone and such things but without the code from what I've read I won't have much/any luck. Cheers

There's no quick and easy guide because the phone is chinese and there's no official support for it in europe or anywhere else. If you wanted easy rooting you should've bought a nexus phone. That IS the rooting process, provided you have unlocked your phone with the code from Huawei first. If you read the author's post he mentions it at the first step and there are other threads about how to unlock your phone. It needs to be unlocked before it can be rooted. You can do it from Huawei's website if you are in the countries they send codes to or if you're not (like me) you can do what I did and email them. Here's the thread on that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800079 . To save you the time of searching how and where to email them here's what I did (original post isn't mine):
Email them at [email protected]. DO NOT email from a gmail account they won't reply to you:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am not able to generate my bootloader unlock code for my Honor 6 Plus. Please send me the unlock code for my device:
Model: PE-TL10

IMEI: XXXXXXXXXX

And hope they will reply to you. I also had my wife send it in chinese from her QQ mail and they only replied to her because I used gmail. In case you want the chinese version here it is:
你好，
我需要我的荣耀 6 plus的解锁代码。但是因为人在国外无法从网上获取，请问可以发给我吗？ 谢谢

At the thread I mentioned earlier there are solutions for getting the code via different emails: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800079&page=395
I suggest you create a QQ mail or a weibo account like the fella in the thread above.
Now about the rooting process it doesn't require any chinese knowledge that's why I've put the steps there and mentioned all the sub-steps you need to do. In case you don't know what "root folder" means in the steps it's the parent folder when you connect your phone to the pc. It's called root folder in linux/android.
Spare the crap and tell me the unlocking bootloader method again.

Whatever the thing is. First of all tell me how to get unlocking bootloader code? Secondly the author of the post mentioned the steps. OK! But then again, if he is an expert that he actually wrote the article for rooting the Honor 6+ phone, then how come is simply showed the screenshots and just got moving like as if he was on a rollercoaster. He should have explained all the steps in great details. Thirdly he was so absent minded while writing that in his first initial post, wherein he is explaining the whole process, he forgot to paste the link(s) for the tools we need to follow his steps. He mentioned in furhter down the line post, the link where we can have all those files. Fourthly, the tools names are bit changed against what he used himself in the tutorial. Fiftly I have installed the ADB tools, will somebody tell me how to do that fastboot mode or whatever crap that is? I am stuck.
So kindly, if you are that much expert, just explain to me in layman terms. By the way I am not a fool, I have used samsung and sony phones before and rooted them multiple times.
Thanking you once again.

Fixed step 2 in the process, refer to it.
I have already mentioned in detail how to get the unlock code from Huawei. The link to Huawei's unlocking page is here: http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail . On their website it's quite simple if you create an account you can just put your serial number and request for code if Huawei supports your country. Otherwise follow the email process I mentioned above.
Ok! I have recieved my bootloader unlocking code. What's next?

There's no option to select in your screenshot, it says "PRESS ANY KEY"!!!
I wouldn't suggest you go ahead with your phone rooting if you can't follow simple instructions cause you might end up bricking your device. You will have to do a lot of research on how fastboot, rooting and adb work then come back and try it again.
What simple instructions you are talking about?

Did you even tell me what to do with my UNLOCKING CODE for BOOTLOADER? yet you say I will brick my device. I told you that I have rooted phones before, and if this one is new for me, OK, explain things so that I will do it once and then be on my own next time with any huawei device. Tell me first what to do with the bootloader unlock code which I have recieved from HUAWEI. Secondly I am going to post you the second picture of the tool after PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE and you be the judge of what the heck its trying to say in the chinese.
1- successfully installed ADB drives.
2- Ran this fastboot tool 点这里开始.bat from "Smart unlock tool" folder and the step 2 gives me the WAITING FOR DEVICE message and after that its long gone and no response. What should I do here? Which Mode should the mobile be in during all this step 2?
but before doing step 2, tell me should I connect my phone in normal MTP DEVICE mode or should I Power it off and boot into recovery or flash kind of stuff mode?
just tell me first 2 steps then I can manage hopefully.
and first and foremost, do not forget to tell me about what to do with the bootloader unlock code.
Thank you sir.

How did you root devices without knowing how to fastboot a device or use adb tools?!?! I've already sent you the link to the thread with the full guide for unlocking the phone I won't go through it again here just because you haven't gone through the trouble of reading it.
As far as the message goes it says "Waiting for device" that implies your device isn't recognized either because it's not unlocked or you haven't turned on usb debugging mode in developer options. I won't explain to you how fastboot and adb work here there are plenty of guides out there which you should've read already. Do some research and read the threads carefully before replying.

Everytime I get to step 8 in the Bootloader unlocking process I receive an error message stating
"Please Log In.
The page you have requested can only be viewed by registered members. Please log in above.
If you arrived here from the HTCdev website and do not have an account, you can register now to gain access."
I honestly have no clue where to get support for this. I looked for a forum section on htcdev but couldn't find a thing. XDA is my home base. Its where I go when I need help so it seemed like the smart thing to do to ask here.
is anyone else having this problem. Is there an Alternate method to submitting the Unlock Token. I already have it via CMD. Please help in anyway you can. Thanks.
edit: I figured it out on my own. I didn't know that HTCdev was incompatable with Windows8s IE. Thankyou.

Htc dev runs on windows 8 just use the 2.0 usb port on your pc.Also use htc drivers 3.0.0.007 exe and than if it says failed to install drivers go to device manager and click on show hidden devices and re run the drivers and you'll be fine.If you see any yellow symbols click on them and click update driver than it'll say search automatically click no than no on have disk and than click on htc once the devices show and than it'll give a warning about drivers.Let it run and done
If they still fail to install switch usb ports.I have a windows 8 hp envy laptop and use it daily to root phones.
Hello Everyone-
My apologies but, after reading page upon page of information, I am just more confused.
Has anyone found a method to unlock this bootloader yet - if even temporarily ?
All these terms ( TWRP, CWM, AOSP, etc.) just have my head spinning.
I am able to follow the steps to these processes, I just need to know which ones to follow.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

The section for the model mentioned that you are looking for is in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development
If you find it all confusing at this point, I'd recommend the use of http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/moto-g-4g-easyrecovery-toolkit-t2856710 for now.
Is this toolkit standalone ?
Somcom3X -
Thanks for the direction. If I use your toolkit, does it contain everything needed ? Can I disregard the other programs/files I dl'd in previous unlocking attempts - for example :adb tools treiber, Android Studio, etc.
I gave it a quick test, but my device never appears. This is what I see :
Your device is:
If this is incorrect please exit this program
Press any key to continue . . .
The phone is in fastboot mode, USB debugging on. I previously installed the ADB drivers w/i the toolkit. Do I also need to run (m)fastboot, as well ?
What am I missing here ?

Could you try using a different USB port/computer? All of the commands have been automated.
Phone was recognized, program went thru the motions but..
Command prompt did what it was supposed to do, but it still asked to enter unlock code from Motorola site. I just continued hitting any key to continue. Bootloader still locked. What now ?

You need the unlock code from the Motorola site. You'll be better off replying in that thread for the toolkit.

I thought that this toolkit did away with that requirement. As I mentioned in my OP, I am working with a Cricket XT1045. Motorola does not give out unlock codes for these versions.
I will post in that other thread if anyone has found a workaround.
Thanks
Without an unlock code, your pretty much on your own. However, this might work in your case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792487
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device. Use the steps below at your own risk . Be mindful of the facts unlocking bootloader voids your warranty and also hard resets your device - ALL YOUR DATA, SETTINGS, FILES AND APPS WILL BE DELETED. These steps worked for me - I own Chinese version of 8.4" LTE model. I do not know if they will work for any other models of M5, including European versions, WiFi only version and 10" models.
To execute the steps below you will need to obtain unlock code, specific to bootloader of your device. There is a slow, painful and free way to get it, and there is a quick and easy way to get the code instantly, which will cost you 4 euros. The slow way is to create Huawei ID, register on Huawei website and request the unlock code directly from Huawei, through dedicated link they provide. I do not use this method, so I don't have the link - do not ask. You will have to provide justification why you need it, such as being a developer and you bought the device to develop and make a living off of it - something Huawei support would find reasonable. In most cases they will not agree to unlock bootloader if you just tell them you want to install some roms. In this guide I will be describing the other method to get it done, which costs 4 euros.
Follow these steps.
1. Go to DC Unlocker website, register for an account (or login, if you already have one)
2. Buy 4 credits (cost is 4 euro) using the Buy link
3. Download the latest DC Unlocker client (pictures 1,2 below)
4. Open the DC Unlocker client, click "server" tab on the right (picture 1) , enter your website login you created in step 1 and click "Check Login"
5. Select "Huawei phones" from "Select manufacturer" dropdown
6. On your M5, go to Dialer app, and type in *#*#2846579#*#* to open Project Menu
7. Click Background Settings->USB Port Settings->Manufacture Mode
8. Connect your M5 to PC via USB cable and return to DC Unlocker client
9. Click the Search button to detect your device. It should be detected as "Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android" (picture 1)
10. Click "Unlocking" tab
11. Click "Read Bootloader Code"(picture 2). It may not work on the first try, but don't worry - unsuccessful bootloader code reads do not spend your credits. Give it a few seconds, disconnect/reconnect USB cable and try again
12. Copy and save generated bootloader code
13. Download Huawei Multi Tool from the bottom of this page and install it
14. Boot into download mode by powering off your M5, then holding Vol Down + Power keys simultaneously for a few seconds and then plugging in USB cable while still holding these 2 keys
15. Open Multi Tool v8 and paste the code you got from DC Unlocker into "Get Unlock Key" input field
16 Click "Use your key" button next to it (picture 3)
17. On the bottom right click the green "Unlock bootloader" button
18. You will get a bunch of warnings on your M5 screen about unlocking bootloader - press Vol Up key and then Power key
19. At this point your bootloader will be unlocked and M5 will factory reset itself
Note: using Multi Tool is optional. Instead, if you have ADB tools with fastboot installed on your PC, then after step 14 you can just use fastboot to unlock your bootloader, by typing "fastboot oem unlock <code>"
Note 2: I don't do tech support via PM, so don't PM me for help or with questions. Use the thread instead, and some other XDA members or myself will probably help you. Good luck!
Now I'm hoping some dev takes a shine to our phablet, and compiles TWRP build for it. It can certainly be installed now that we managed to unlock the bootloader
To enter Project Mode on Wifi only tablets, open calculator and enter () () 2,846,579 () (). On 10.8" tablet, it will need to be in landscape mode to get all the calculator symbols to show.
Am I right that warranty is still intact, as Huawei does not know what we are doing?
as long as we relock it when we are done ?

Why do we have to pay for it? I bet there's an easy way to unlock it without to pay, isn't it?
This Page describe an unlock process for huawei devices that's likely the prozess for Google or Motorola devices.

I think an answer for using the "unofficial" way would be that officially having an unlocked bootloader may void your warranty and I do not know how nice Huawei plays with that, so that the "official" way is not the best option to many people ...
If the device is halfway bricked, however, and you cannot restore the locked bootloader, they still know and are not too friendly either, because one did not use the proper method ...

Your assumptions are incorrect. Warranty is voided no matter whichever way you use to unlock. The correct answer to Marcopoloy13' post is that (1) he doesn't "have to" do anything, and (2) the site he linked, simply echoes what I already said in the OP - that you can contact Huawei to request the unlock code.

I requested the unlock code via email. They were quick in replying but none of the codes they sent worked. They sent me 4 different codes and one was even my tablets serial number! Gave up asking in the end and will just use dc unlocker.

You could have a look at this thread from the Huawei Mate 9 forum and give it a try but with relevant Mediapad M5 firmware! https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-install-magisk-mate-9-running-t3773878

I am trying yo get debian9 with xfce fully installed on this tablet with NO andriod system running such as linux deploy or VNC....
Am I the only one who couldn't get these instructions to work?
I can't get the device to install cleanly on either or my two Windows PCs. Perhaps I need drivers?
Perhaps as a result, DC Unlocker won't find my phone via automatic detection.
I might be able to get a code elsewhere - but I also can't get this thing to boot into Download mode.
Am I supposed to enable anything in Developer Options?
When I hook up to my PC, I get asked whether I want to charge only or xfer files or photos. Does it matter what I select?
Manufacture mode tends to revert back to Hisuite mode after I disconnect the USB cable.
Thanks...
(ETA - I figured out DL mode - the instructions say "power keyS" not "power key" - my bad)
(ETA - I got my key from DC. Got the following error message from Multi-Tool - 'Error! Unable to execute command, check the status of Bootloader and FRP (Phone Finder).' I'll figure this out.)
(ETA - turns out you have to enable OEM unlocking, who'd a thunk it. For the record, I'm not that Android illiterate, this is simply the first device I have bought in years, the first device I've bought within days of first root, and I'm used to everything being spelled out. Big thanks to the OP nonetheless!)

How'd you fix the device not being detected? I've tried everything to get drivers installed, but none of them work. I'm stuck at finding the phone via automatic detection.

I'm not 100% sure, but three things:
Make sure to enable USB debugging via Developer Options.
Make sure you are still in Manufacturer mode, and have not been reverted back to Hisuite mode, before hooking it up to your PC .
I installed and opened Multi-Tool before I successfully generated a code; I forget if I did anything in particular, but it prompted me to download a Huawei_Drivers zip file that I might or might not have needed.

I managed to fix it, but I'm also not clear on what I did that caused it to work for others who might be running into the problem.
The last thing I did before it worked was install and update the latest HiSuite from Huawei's website. Otherwise I also was trying to install the Huawei drivers from Multi-Tool. Either one of those is likely the culprit for it finally working.
Just got a Nokia 3.1 to use a testing tool and other fun stuff, and therefore would like to root it. Does anyone of you know of a working root of the 3.1?
So this phone is a no go for root and custom roms I guess.

Why do you think so? Bootloader can be unlocked via Developer settings, and I think there is no special magic preventing this device from rooting.
I would try rooting it by flashing some SuperSU zips or something like that, but I didn't try it yet
Has anyone checked this out? I haven't purchased a Nokia 3.1 but am considering it. I went so far as to create a Nokia account and there is a bootloader unlock apk, as well as an unlock.key that can be downloaded, and there are clear instructions on the Nokia page itself.. Since I don't have the phone, I did not attempt to proceed. However, if the 3.1 qualifies (I don't see why it wouldn't) then getting root should be as easy as following Magisk instructions.
There is even a page for the open source releases.
If I were to get the 3.1, my main objective would likely be to just obtain root. Looks like it should be doable.
Edit - well over 100 views since I posted this but no one has tried to unlock and/or root. I thought that was the purpose of this thread.
Unfortunately that app always crashes

That is unfortunate! Perhaps, does activating Developer Options allow to select OEM Unlocking and USB Debuging, then running the Unlocking App? To run step 5 of 5 (see NOKIA INSTRUCTIONS below) you would need to have USB Debugging enabled anyway. Nowhere in the instructions is that mentioned.
FYI - Activate Developer Options: Go to Settings>About Phone and tap Build Number 7 times. Back out to access Developer Options.
Also, I do not have this phone but am interested in it. I cannot confirm if any of the advice I am giving will work, but it is what I would try.
NOKIA INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Firstly, we need to validate that the phone you would like to unlock is operated by you. There are a few steps to this, so we ask that you carefully follow all instructions. Let’s get started.
To participate, simply complete the following steps:
1. Please download the Nokia Bootloader Unlocker app. You can download the apk from this link and install the apk on your device. If you don’t understand how to install an apk on your device, please do not unlock the bootloader on your device. Doing so will void your phone's warranty and may cause irreparable damage.
2. Launch the Nokia Bootloader Unlocker app and fill your email information and click “Submit”.
3. The app will display a code. Please enter this in the form below along with your email address. Then press "Request to Unlock"
Your bootloader can now be unlocked. Follow the instructions below:
Step 1/5
Check the email you entered during registration. You should receive an email with a message as follows:
Hi, Thanks for requesting the unlocking bootloader. Please download your unlock key from the following link. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Download the unlock key and save it as “unlock.key”.
Step 2/5
Power off your device. Once powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button.
Step 3/5
While keeping the Volume Down button pressed, connect the device to the computer via USB cable. The device will boot into “Download mode”. If you have difficulty, try powering up normally, power off the device again and start back from Step 1.
Step 4/5
Download the following fastboot binary for your OS here.
Step 5/5
Open a command prompt:
Windows: Start > cmd
Mac: Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app
Linux: Terminal
Navigate to the directory where the previously downloaded unlock.key file is saved. Then enter the following commands:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.key
fastboot oem unlock
If successful, you should see the below message:
Unlock success!
Then reboot the device by entering the following command:
fastboot reboot
You are done!
It doesn't work either way. I tried with both those options enabled and disabled but the program always crashes. It's interesting to note that the app itself fails to install through chrome or "Files" app. Gives an error saying "Can't open app". I only managed to install it through ES File Explorer. Could it be because of I bought the phone on a Vodafone store? I can't find the original stock rom to flash, sadly.

I have been researching this and have found that, as of this writing, only the Nokia 8 qualifies for bootloader unlocking. See here. The only thing holding me back from jumping on this Nokia 3.1 is the inability to unlock the bootloader (and maybe the lack of fingerprint sensor.) Hopefully it gets "approved soon".
Currently the oem unlock using the Nokia bootloader unlock only works for Nokia 8
is there a way to root the 3.1 yet successfully? im a noob at this stuff and don't want to screw my phone.

No, not until Nokia decides to allow users to unlock bootloader.
What about the 3.1 plus. I've already unlocked OEM. I just started looking, thought I'd start here first.

It doesn't matter if you have enabled "OEM unlocking" option in Developer settings, currently Nokia doesn't allow unlocking of bootloader and thus rooting device, unless you are Nokia 8 user. You can try this, but it will crash almost for sure.
As far as I can tell, my bootloader is unlocked. I am a noob of course, but I have been researching this topic for a couple of months now. I could be mistaken in thinking "upload" mode is it, but I can't seem to figure out the difference. Otherwise, I don't know what to do next.

To get to "Upload" mode? Assuming it's the same for the 3.1 Plus-maybe I should have specified that-holding power button and volume up during startup will open "Upload" mode.
You can also use adb with the command "reboot bootloader." For that reason, I think it's the bootloader, but I could be wrong.
Sorry if I was a bit misleading and it is totally different on the Nokia 3.1, I was just some kinda hopeful to actually see people talk about it.

I'm not bringing any sizable programming skills to the table unless somebody wants to teach me real fast.
Hopefully, I bring tidings of great joy. So I got two these Nokia's and they're both locked. to the carrier, Cricket. I suspect they are at least unlawfully locked. . My understanding is you can't lock to used phone especially if it's been sold as a prepaid phone. I believe this falls under the reseller flex policy. I bought it off of eBay from a guy that sells nothing but phones and he's been extremely cagey about what he'll admit to, so I called the carrier. I literally waited an hour and a half on the phone because I am falling asleep and I was on a computer speaker phone so it kept on the time of the call. I only held that long because I had fallen asleep. Anyway since I'm not in a cricket or AT&T customer then don't plan to eitherbe they could care less about me it actually told me they didn't have any information on the phone after I gave them the IMEI number.
My guess is the fcc's not going to do much because it's a trump Administration. So I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Nokia and well at least they're interesting I think Microsoft paid between 7 and 12 billion to acquire them I recently sold them off for like a box of jujyfruits. Anyway they're committed to customer service so I figure my predicament might give me an in there.
So those unlock codes that it was a link earlier in the post for that's just to unlock the bootloader, right? You know this is a pretty decent phone for a low-end guy I got the newer 3.1 C it's got Cricket's bootloader in bloatware on it,
takes up a ton of space.
I mean it probably won't happen but if Nokia ever goes public again - I think the acquiring companies. Their eye on the prize and they're going to kick some ass. So I'm all in on this let's get this done. If you want I can see what I can do about asking Nokia 4 whatever it's going to take just to keep me a satisfied customer since they know Cricket/ATT isn't following the Obama regs.
Oof... It would be beautiful if Nokia customer support could guide us onto rooting this phone.
its so simple to unlock oem on nokia 3.1 plus. no third app needed. after developer option on -> go to developer option setting -> there is toggle button to on/off developer option , just use that toggle to off it and on it -> press yes for on dev options -> and select oem unlock. that all
It is pretty straightforward once you have unlocked bootloader (not by Nokia). If you want, you can simply dump boot_a or boot_b with SPflash tool, patch in Magisk app, and reflash.
Otherwise you can use my TWRP (NO TOUCH, and has disabled dm-verity). Please note it's only working on build v3.180, updates not supported - as it was only needed for my project.

My Honor 4C is stuck at Emergency Data and I can't do anything with it except I can access the Setting through the Notification Bar. I tried Factory Reset and Normal Upgrade but it didn't work. I wish to flash it back to Stock ROM or upgrade it to a higher version ( Currently, EMUI 3.0, Android 4.4.2, probably KitKat ) but the problem is, I can't do so because I don't have my bootloader unlock code (Huawei doesn't issue them anymore, right?). Can you show me the step by step process? Please help. Thank you.
Hi ja-mesXD,
To get the unlock code follow these steps:
1.Contact Honor using their official mail (found on their website) and request for the unlock code. You might have to give in the details like serial number, IEMI number, Android version, etc.
2. They will respond back as soon as possible with the serious you will have to follow to get the unlock code from the the unlock code link they provide.
Basically, you'll have to login (you should have a Honor account) to the link they provide for 14 days Using only a PC (I had tried using other devices but didn't work out for me).
3. After the 14th day or a few days later when you visit the link, it will redirect you to the unlock code website.
4. Enter in your details and you will get your code.
Tried many other ways didn't work out.... Except this one... Hope this helps you.
Peace
And also just received a tweet about Huawei official is ready to give away codes for next 60 days after which we won't have any kind of access to them.
Will contact them and update this thread.
Our else just try out the steps in the thread named "informal method of obtaining bootloader unlock code"
Peace Out
