Bootloader Unlocked of not?

Hi there ,
I need your help because i'm stuck right now.
I have a E6653 Running 32.2.A.5.11 MM 6.0.1 i rooted it properly but here is the catch , my Z5 is rooted ( see attachement) so my bootloader is Unlocked, so when i checked for the first time after root via service setting menu it was saying Bootloader unlock : Yes,
Now that i want to install a custom ROM on my phone it says Bootloader Unclock ALLOWED : Yes !
I didn't do Anything beetween the time i rooted it since today , i didn't relock , didn't flash new kernel , didn't Wipe anything !
All functions linked to the DRM are working properly AND i'm still root !
I just installed Xposed , Adaway, Greenify ,Titanium backup, and SD Maid .
Btw i have a Recovery already installed , TWRP .
I want to know if my bootloader is unlocked or not , I want to install Existenz ROM or SlimX but i don't want to take a risk like that , my phone is New and i don't want to brick it .
Please tell me How to Know , how to proceed , i'll give you a thanks !
i have the same thing... its just the service menu incorrect. you are bootloader unlocked like me. its impossible to have root without!
I did take the risk to flash a ROM I flashed ExistenZ and it's pretty good everything works smoothly, a flawless work so yeah I guess that's the service menu who did it wrong

MT-L09 B137 update and root

Hello,
I want to root it ,but if it is possible then to install a newer version of android first. I currently have 4.4.2 .
I saw SRKTool only work with 6.0 . kingroot hasn't work. I did unlooked the bootloader (afterwards).
So, if I saw correctly , there is no OTA update for the firmware, just full firmware to install , from here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784
But any full firmware (6.0) would work , right?
And there is no TWRP 2.7.8.0 for my specific version, but generally for android 4.4.2 , there is . So, I am too afraid to install it right now.
Is it justified ?
There is also a tool that installs MT7_CWM_CN_EN for android 4.4.2 on this device (don't have a link) . should it work?
Thanks,
Eyal

Please clear first you want to upgrade or root..?
if You want to root then no need to upgrade Android to have root simply flash custom recovery eg: twrp for kitkat that's it when you flashed it before reboot it'll ask to install supersu you can also flash supersu by yourself just flash twrp recovery then flash supersu.zip
Twrp for kitkat

"Thanks. I got it myself, when I stopped worrying and installed twrp. No way to update without erasing my data, I see.

Little Help - Update ROOT Honor 8 from FRD-L09C432B131 to B360 (Nougat 7.0)

Hi All,
I would like just a little help on how to update correctly a rooted Honor 8 on MM 6.0 to Nougat 7.0 ?
Meaning from firmware B131 to B360 ?
OTA doesn't work, even when i disabled ROOT. I also tried bootloader to force update but it fails during the process.
Any idea what to do next? Do I need to relock the bootloader and remove TWRP before proceeding?
Thanks very much!
Unroot, flash stock recovery for the emui version you have
I guess this would also include a full wipe? Or is it possible to just update without wipe and still get a good result?

Download latest firmware(b560 or b571 depending on which region you have and you have Asian for you it's b560) update.app to your sd card and update it.
if it's not try force update by putting update.app to sd card and then turn off your device remove data cable and then press volume both and power until Huawei logon show after 5 or 10 second it'll flash rom you download.
or if you want to downgrade you have to download rollback 6.0 to 5.1 package and flash it by putting file in sd card and update basically its not update but downgrade to 5.1..
Hi , thanks for answering , i try each region update and everything is failing .
Thy tried ways is force update as you mention and by the code from the dialer .
(before the trying to update ) I dont know if the bootloader is unlocked or not but i root my phone then unistall it , then try to unlock it by adb .
Do you think if i relock the bootloader i will be able to upstate / downgrade it ?

Update or downgrade doesn't need bootloarder lock or unlock
if you want to flash custom recovery like twrp to root or flash custom rom then it's compulsory to have unlock bootloarder.
what exactly you want to do if you want to downgrade it have different method and if you want to update then make sure you have unlocked bootloarder by pressing vol- and power it'll show lock or unlock it's doesn't matter for downgrade to have lock bootloarder you should download exact firmware for device I also have same region mate 7 tl10 Huawei make lengthy process to update steps by steps if you are on b512 you should download b560 for your device try this to have some easy step for unlock bootloarder recovery,root

TWRP 3.1.1 AND ABOVE

SOMEONE TO HELP ME PLEASE,
I have a honor note 10 (AVL-AL09) and I successfully unlocked its bootloader through one helper who is doing this by payment. The phone now is in android 9.0.0 EMUI 9.0.0
I installed a custom recovery but I can't read my files (IN RECOVER BOOT) in the internal storage because it seems they are encrypted. Each custom recovery I try, the outcome is the same. But I saw one advice saying I have to install TWRP 3.1.1 which will end without encryption. I have been searching for this version of twrp without success.
Please help me because I want to ROOT my lovely phone
