I've searched almost every thread and even asked in a few but no one seems to be able to answer. Can this model be rooted and TWRP installed? Or if not, can the L29 firmware be flashed?

Hello guys.
I'm new to Huawei devices. I've previously successfully rooted LG, Samsung and HTC devices, but I'm having trouble to understand how this works on the Mate 8.
I have a NXT-L09 model from AT&T Mexico. I didn't have any issue getting the code to unlock the bootloader nor installing TWRP so I thought it waa going to be easy to root by just installing the SuperSU zip in TWRP.
The issue is that TWRP is asking me for a password I didn't set and is unable to read my internal storage. I have researched and discovered that is because the device is encrypted.
My plan is to first make a backup of my current ROM because I haven't found a stock ROM of the C212B120 version I have. Then I'd like to root my phone so I want to make sure that there's something I can do to decrypt my phone, I have read that there is a file that is flash able in TWRP, but does it depend on the model or something?
I'm also considering flashing the stock international ROM so I can have fastest updates. How could I make the model change?
Please, if anybody is able to clarify this to me and guide me through the process, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
This is SAD...
Hey man, i think that is very sad that there are almost none updates for the same rom, I'am also on ATT Single Rom L09C212, and i have no luck updating it or finding firmwares.
did you update your phone?
i just hope that huawei release the nougat update for our phones.
greetings from Monterrey!

hey guys im very new to the forums, i have been searching for root for the Honor 6x on android 7.0 but had no luck finding anyone that could. and im sure a lot of people in xda wants to root their 6x well i have some news for you! i have succesfully rooted my honor 6x by dumping the boot.img that i got from the update.app from the OTA update people say you can't install OTA updates with twrp as recovery but that's exactly what I did and how I got the boot.img and patched it with magisk.
i would upload the patched boot.img but XDA wont let new users upload outside the forums. :/ PM me and I'll try sending links or someone big enough to upload my links for everyone to use .
Bro there are guides all over this sub forum on how to root on 7.0 and emui 5.0....matter of fact right here specifically the one I used.

***Warning to anyone looking to root don't use any files from this person....this is BS and I wouldn't trust a boot.img, flashable zip or any files really from a person advertising said files with their very FIRST POST!!!***

I understand your concern and I am new but that does not mean I'm trying to brick someone's device and flashing twrp on emui 5.0 on the honor 6x did not work for the U.S variant as it stays on the screen "your device is booting..." I had uploaded a how to on my second post.

I apologize and have edited my post. You have to admit its pretty suspect for someone to come to a forum where there are already step by step guides on how to root EMUI 4.1 and 5.0 respectively and say on their first post ever, "since there is no way to root I found my own way, and oh hey by the way heres my patched boot image message me for the files."
Wonder why yours got stuck on booting were you using the TWRP off the official site? Ive rooted my phone 3 or so times in this last month on EMUI 5.0 and never had a hiccup.

I did use the official twrp and while I was looking for root other users of the U.S variant were talking about how they were getting stuck on the same screen. Since it happened to me and other users of the same variant I assumed it was everyone. But I do wanna upload the magisk patched boot.img for the people who are having the problems that's all. This account is new yes but I have used XDA for 4 years I made a account this year to try to help. Yes does seems suspicious but so does installing a Chinese app for twrp.
Hi everybody!
A friend of mine gave me a Honor 8, model FRD-AL10, so is the Chinese version.
I would like to install the european version of the Firmware, but i read that it can be dangerous if i dont follow the correct instructions.
I tried to check on the forum, but I did not find any guide that could help me.
Can somebody help me?
Also, if the device crashes, would it be possible to restore it?
And after I install the firmware, can I update it normally, or do I have to flash the new firmware every time?
Thanks
What is the instruction? Tell me about it. btw if phone crashed you can restore via hisuite on your computer.
Guys i want to root my device - Honor 6X BLN-L21. how can i do this?
after rooting my device ill be able to update my software ? i have the latest android 7 official update from huawei installed. i havent unlock the bootloader or anything like that.
thank you and soory for my english.
Follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/root-huawei-honor-6x-install-twrp-t3671822
And for obtain your bootloader unlock code, note that the listed procedure is impossible to follow at the moment, because the necessary pages to ask for the code are unavailable on Huawei sites. But you should be able to have a work around thanks to the module available here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...cial-request-bootloader-unlock-codes-t3785100
I am resurrecting this thread as I have the **same** issue a year after.
I have recently aquired a BLN-L21 Honor 6x europe, with EMUI 5.0.3
This is the exact ROM version: BLN-L21C432B382
It has been rooted using dc-unlocker, but now I have some problems with rooting (that was my entire objective since start)
Compatible TWRP are scarce, I can only make it work with OpenKirin TWRP 3.1.1.0, linked in the guide above, or EliteTWRP-3.2.1.0, but this one cannot read any internal partitions, so I guess it's not very useful.
As soon as I flash Magisk-19.3.zip the device boots and asks me for a decryption password, that I clearly don't have.
So Flashing Magisk this way makes the terminal useless.
Can anyone suggest me a couple of TWRP + ROM that supports root quite well on this device?
EDIT: ouch, I defeated myself. I just tried to use SuperSU-v.2.82-201705271822 and it works like a charm on stock rom.
I wonder why Magisk makes a mess of the partition
Hello,
I recently upgraded my Note 20 Ultra (N986U) (ATT) (unlocked) from Android 11 to Android 12 (N986USQU2EVA9) by dirty flashing via Odin. I followed a guide on this forum and thankfully, my phone updated with no issues whatsoever with my data and apps intact. This basically means that I flashed normally except I used the HomeCSC and I left "userdata" empty at Odin.
I just realized that SamFW posted the new ATT firmware, Android 13 (N986USQU3GVK5) and I wanted to update to it via Odin.
The reason on why I want to update it via Odin instead of OTA is simply because I don't live in the USA and I don't have an ATT Sim/network in my country. Can I still follow the dirty flash method for this? I'm just a bit afraid that since it uses a different bootloader version or maybe because of the android version difference I may go into bootloop with no way out. Has anyone tried this?
I would like to apologize if this question has been asked before. I tried scrolling through the depths of XDA forums for answers but I can't seem to find any answers. Thank you for your time!
Hey there just wanna give a quick update.
Yes, it works fine. I've done it personally and every apps, data etc. is intact.
I hope this is useful for anyone who is in the same predicament as me.
