LGL23 LG Flex 4.2.2 Root instruction

Ok guys since I did not see anywhere on the net how to root the device here is a quick guide please move the thread wherever you feel more appropriate:
1) you will need to install the driver for the LG flex on your computer
2) unlock developer mode go to setting - go to about phone - go to software info - tap 7 times on build number this will activate developer mode
3) go to setting you will have a new option called developer options go inside check USB debugging
4) go to lgviet dot com and search for lgl23 I cannot post the link since the site is blocking me click on the first result download the software from android host move the folder in the zip to your desktop
5) connect your phone with the usb with your computer
6) run runroot follow instruction for the rooting
7) if you see that the software is stucked its probably because you have a warning message from google SAY NO and that is it the software will finish instantly and your device is rooted.
I rooted 2 devices both of them were 4.2.2 japanese editions bought on ebay.
Cheers

Where do I get the drivers from? I can't seem to find them

Root Mediapad/Honor X2

Before rooting you need to unlock bootloader of your device:
Unlocking process :
- For unlocking you need 3 identifications from your phone.
1. Serial No. You can find this in Settings > About phone > status. 2nd last line.
2. IMEI No. Again Settings > About phone > status. You need IMEI1 only. I repeat for dual sim phones, IMEI1 is only required.
3. Product ID. To get your phone's product ID, dial "*#*#1357946#*#*". The number you see on screen after dialing this code is Product ID. copy it.
- Now goto http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
This page is in chinese. From first dropdown select 2nd options. Wait for sometime, while it loads phone model names into second dropdown. Once phone models are loaded. Select GEM-703L from second dropdown.
- Put in your Serial No, IMEI No, Product ID in next 3 text boxes.
- Key in Verification code you see in image next to last box.
- Click Submit button (Right side green button)
If you consistently get some error. Mail above SN, IMEI, Product ID to [email protected]. They will revert back with unlock code in few days.
- Next download "X2 bootloader unlock.zip".
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrznidv7c0fi4do/X2 Bootloader unlock.zip?dl=1
- Connect phone to computer, shutdown. Press and hold volume down button and power button. Keep holding volume down button, untill phone enters boot loader mode.
- double-click unlock.bat. Select option 3.
- Disconnect phone from computer, Key in the unlock code on phone. If unlock is success, you will see a android robot and "Phone unlocked" written below it.
Now Rooting :
There are essentially 3 methods for rooting, Method 3 is better than 2 is better than 1.
Method 3 : Credit : http://cn.club.vmall.com/space-uid-5467988.html
1. There are seperate rar files for B009 and B012. Download based on your current Rom.
B009 root : https://www.dropbox.com/s/h7os2bx7hsmp7cl/X2_root_B009_Kangvip.rar?dl=1
B012 root : https://www.dropbox.com/s/3tjywj9q9zadj0a/X2_root_B012_Kangvip.rar?dl=0
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run Run.cmd, while phone is connected to computer. Follow On screen instructions. If successful, it will re-boot the phone and write new boot.img.
4. You will not Kinguser app installed. You are rooted.
Method 2 : Again chinese folks over at vmall forum china.
1. Download and extract rar file.
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k8levlxjy97tn8/X2 Root Method 2.rar?dl=1
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run 1.Run.Cmd, Follow instructions. Phone will reboot itself. If fail, try again.
4. You will see Chinese SU app installed. It will ask for updating binary automatically. Follow your intuition(chinese language) to click buttons and update binary. Don't worry it will be easy.
5. Reboot
6. Run 2.Run.Cmd, Follow instructions. Phone will reboot itself. If fail, try again.
7. Done. Open camera app, No camera issues.
Method 1 : May cause "Camera app not opening issue"
1. Download zip file, and unzip.
link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnrqncjridi5ipt/X2 Root Method 1.zip?dl=1
2. Check Debug usb mode in mobile and connect to windows computer.
3. Run Run.cmd, while phone is connected to computer. Follow On screen instructions. If successful, it will re-boot the phone and write new boot.img.
4. You will not Kinguser app installed. You are rooted.

WORKED! checked via root explorer..in system app...woo hoo!
yes..changed font too now...all working (B012 had bootloader unlocked already when on previous version-was still unlocked as that process supposedly is permanent)

great enjoy!!!

And me still not working! Any idea?

Are you able to open camera app after rooting ?

I yes, therefore still not have root...

If I had known the camera would stop would not have rooted..oh well new problem to fix...
Edit ..at least screenshot and gallery work...apparently it is the root method?...some boards mention that camera failing is due to some specific root method and to flash recovery and boot image to fix problem..something to that effect
Sent from my GEM-703L using XDA Free mobile app

Yes. Re-root with second method, if you can take the pain to re-image to B009 and update then update to B012.
Process :
1. Download B009 from here : http://emuirom123.dbankcloud.com/GEM-703L_EMUI 3.0_android5.0_V100R001C233B009.rar?rid=1276
2. copy dload to sdcard and goto EMUI updater> setting > local update. Select update and image.
3. After 009 installation, update OTA to B012.
4. Goto 1st page of this post and root with new method mentioned.

1.UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
!If the phone perfoms a bootloader unlock, a factory reset will be perfomed automatically. So you will have to backup your data to a sdcard or to the pc.!
Step 1.1 and 1.4 are hanging together. They can be skipped with no worries, but I would recommend to do it. !THIS IS NOT A FULL BACKUP!
1.1 [OPTIONAL]BACKING UP PHONE SETTINGS:
1.1.1 Download and install Hisuite on your pc: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
1.1.2 Connect your pc with your phone
1.1.3a If you see a pop up like this,then choose transfer files and skip Step 1.1.3b
1.1.3b Go to your Notifications on your phone. There will be a settings notification. Press on it and select File transfer via USB.
1.1.4 On your phone go to Settings -> Security & privacy -> More -> and turn on allow Hisuite to use HDB (image)
1.1.5 The phone may ask you to trust the pc. Select always trust this pc (image)
1.1.6 Go to settings -> System -> About phone -> and press about 10 times on the build number.
1.1.7 Go to settings -> System -> Developer Options -> and turn on USB debugging (image)
1.1.8 Open Hisuite on pc
1.1.9 Choose Backup and select everything. Don't password protect it.
1.2 OBTAINING THE UNLOCK CODE
Everything you see below in pink does not work anymore since Huawei has officially stopped providing the bootloader unlock code on their website.
Instead please use this thread for obtaining your bootloader unlock code: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
1.2.1 Go to this website and press Unlock
1.2.2 Register a huawei id or login
1.2.3 Follow the steps until you see this page
1.2.4 Choose Since Emui 5.0
1.2.5 Fill out the rest of the information. (The IMEI can be found at settings -> System -> About Phone)
1.2.6 Press Commit. If every info was put in correct, A yellow message should appear saying: "Your unlocking password is: ..." Copy the code somewhere safe on your pc.
1.3 UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
1.3.1 Download Minimal ADB and fastboot for your operating system. For windows 32 and 64bit: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
1.3.2 install and open the folder where you installed it to.
1.3.3 Run fastboot.exe and adb.exe once
1.3.4 Go to Settings -> System -> developer options turn on OEM unlocking. If you do not have developer options do step 1.1.6 and come back to 1.3.4.
1.3.5 Connect your phone with the pc and turn on USB Debbuging(Step 1.1.7) and file transfer via adb(Step 1.1.3b) on your phone
1.3.6 On your pc go to the folder where you have installed adb. Open a CMD Windows at this folder(For Windows hold leftshift and press right click. Then choose open cmd from this folder)
1.3.7 Make sure that usb debugging is still enabled. In CMD: type adb devices -> hit enter. It should say your serial number with the status "device" (image)
If that is not the case, check if 1.USB Debugging is enabled 2. Allow Transfer files in Notifications.
1.3.8 type in CMD adb reboot bootloader. Your device will reboot into the bootloader.
1.3.9 It should say FRP Unlock and PHONE locked.
If FRP is locked and green, you did not enable oem unlock. => Hold the power button to reboot and go back to step 1.3.4
1.3.10 type in CMD fastboot oem unlock code replace code with the number from Step 1.2.6. Hit enter.
1.3.11 A window will pop up asking you if you want to unlock the bootloader. !Pressing yes will void your warranty and perform a factory reset deleting all personal data on internal storage.! With your volume up and down keys navigate to yes and press the power button to proceed. Your device will automatically reboot and perform a factory reset and reboot again.
1.3.12 Put in all your information, so that the phone is fully usable again
[OPTIONAL]1.4 REAPLYING PHONE SETTINGS
1.4.1 Repeat Step 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.1.7 and 1.1.8
1.4.2 In Hisuite press restore and choose the backup you have created in Step 1.1.9
2.FLASHING AND SETTING UP TWRP
2.1 FLASHING TWRP
2.1.1 Set a pin for your phone if you have not (lockscreen). Go to this thread and download stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img and this kernel
2.1.2 Move both .img to your folder, where you have installed adb
2.1.3 Do Step 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7 and 1.3.8
2.1.4 It should say FRP Unlock and PHONE Unlocked(image) => Step 2.1.5 . If Phone is locked and green, you did not unlock your bootloader => Step 1.3.
2.1.5 in CMD type fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img => hit enter.
2.1.6 type fastboot reboot in CMD to reboot. Do not close CMD window and do not unplug phone from pc if you continue with 2.2.

2.2.4 Then this screen will appear. Swipe to allow modifications.
2.2.5 Press Reboot -> System and do not install the twrp app.

Yes I'm sorry that I am replying so late.
So noone really knows if it is going to come back, but here's what you can do:
1: Go to this site. Scroll down. Choose your country. Call the hotline. Give them the required info. They will send you the unlock-code via Email. I tried it with the German Number and they send it to me without a problem.
2: Try emailing the support from Honor or Huawei.
3: Try out this Thread. You will have to pay about 4 EUR ($5).

Try calling different phone numbers. Some are willing to give you the unlock and some not. I think they also don't know whats really going on with the site etc. But as of right now the 3 ways mentioned above, are the only ways to get the unlock code. Maybe the Unlock site at https://emui.huawei.com/ will come back some time.

Thank you for writing this tutorial, it's really helpful to have all steps in one place to know what to do.
If you could include how to revert back to the locked bootloader with stock firmware, that can be sent back to Huawei for warranty repairs, that would be great!
Best,
Chris

1. Go this thread and download the Mount-Magisk.zip
2. Move it somewhere to your phone. (If you are unable to boot to system connect phone to PC. Reboot phone to twrp. Open a adb window on the PC. In twrp go to advanced. Start the adb sideload. Press on cancel and then on back. Move the Mount-Magisk.zip into your adb folder on the pc. In the cmd type adb push Mount-Magisk.zip /external_sd or which ever path you like. )
3. Boot to twrp.
4. Go to Install and choose the Mount-Magisk.zip . Flash it. After flash press on back.
5. Go to Advanced -> File Manager. At the very top/root of your system should now be a folder called Magisk. Open the folder. The next folders also should include your Modules. Hold the folder of the module and delete it.
6. Reboot and everything should be fixed.
Let me know if it worked! :good:

Just to let everyone know. The unlock page is back. :highfive::laugh::laugh::laugh: Happy Unlocking :good::victory::victory::victory:

So if I unlock bootloader, and then root my device then i won't receive any OTA update anymore... but how can I deal with this situation in order to re-lock when it's OTA time and unlock again when I got it?
ps. No OTA means only no firmware or it means also no security patches ??

In case of Honor devices, to a certain point you are still getting ota updates. To check on the newest updates download the app Huawei Firmware Finder. Then follow the HuRUpdate Thread to update to the newest firmware without unrooting.

Hi! I'm currently attempting to complete step 2.1, but I've run into a problem.. I've completed all the 1.-steps and added the twrp & kernel img-files to the adb folder, but when I attempt to use cmd fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img, I just get the response waiting for any device, and then nothing else happens. Any suggestions?

[ROM] [TUTORIAL] HOW TO INSTALL LINEAGEOS 16 BETA 6 NO GAPPS ON HUAWEI DEVICES

[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 Restore​When 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.
