Honor 6 Plus CWM / TWRP Recovery EMUI3.0

Does anyone know or have a copy of a working EMUI3.0 CWM or TWRP recovery for the Honor 6 Plus (6x) PE-TL10
Boot loader unlocked but no root. Tried normal root tools but none yet seems to work, so I was looking to changing the recovery to CWM /TWRP and then flash SU and root that way, returning to stock 3.0 extracted recovery from the latest ROM.
Any assistance appreciated please.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-honor-6-plus-root-tutorial-t2991788

Thanks but tried that, recovery does not work on the 6 Plus and the proc may be good for a mate7 but not for the 6Plus. It was just as well I had extracted a stock 3.0 recovery to go back to. I think that this proc may have been written for 2.0 not 3.0, that may be why I get a blank screen on boot in to recovery.
So still waiting...

Hello, I have it running smoothly on my Honor 6 Plus PE-UL00.
If you have bootloader open just puts the recovery with:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_en.img
I leave you with attachment
To flash can also be used Honor 6 MultiTool modifying the bat or renaming the recovery_en.img by the recovery that you download the program
Sorry for my poor English

Thanks you but the recovery file you attached is only 128bytes bytes big and not a valid file. can you please attach the full recovery file please? I will then try to flash it.

I managed to use the Multitool and its recovery_en, so no worry, all done, but here if anyone else is looking for instruction on how I done it, here they are:
I used the Honor 6 Multi-tool from this thread in the XDA pages.
I am not sure if the bootloader unlock works or not, so if you can get it unlocked as above or try this tool.
The tool is for the 6 not especially the 6Plus but using the install CWM recovery works, then I used the boot to recovery and then selected root by sidelobe (install zip/install zip by sidelobe menus). SU was installed permissions set. As I wanted to ensure that the correct stock recovery was used (my EMUI3.0 extracted before) I selected to reboot the phone by exiting the (recovery) and it then asked me if I wanted to fix root, I selected yes, rebooted the phone. Checked that root was working and then went back to bootloader and fastboot flash recovery (my recovery) to get it back to stock.

Thanks in advance for this tutorial My 6 Plus is on its way from China.
What's funny though... I also once owned an Eten X500 and my previous phone was a ZTE V987
My GF is now using it with MIUI v5, but I'll give here my ZTE V5 when my Honor 6 Plus arrived
Aren't you also active on this UK Cloud iBox satbox forum?

No not me. I am on several forums but mainly phones or tablets ( heavy on what was the Eten forum with Bruno Martin who now works here on Gravity Box or on satellite TV forums. I think a lot of us old dual sim users had a near similar list of phones as they developed.
BTW, the Honor 6 plus multi tool has my recovery added, so you can use that now too.

Just for anyone finding or searching and coming on to this thread, I have posted the tools needed at this link.
It has CWM and stock recovery files as well as the SuperSU and install bat file.

If the CWM/TWRP for H6 doesn't work on H6Plus i can add custom recoveries that work on your device.
UPDATE: I add "recovery_en" in Multi-Tool. Can anyone tell me what version of CWM is?

As we don't have any custom ROMs, how do we update to latest version when Huawei do release (especially when they release Lillipop)?

You can always revert back to stock recovery. The tool for Mate 7 from Anzhi BBS forum works great.
I have already done this three times when there has been a new OTA updates.

Maybe I didn't understand your instructions 100% correct, but without getting an unlock code from the Emui site to unlock the Bootloader I wasn't getting anywhere.
So I got the Unlock code from the site and then went through all the steps from VirusPlus tool and that all worked perfectly
In the end I think I would have got exactly the same result with your 6-Plus-only tool.
Anyhow, from within the MultiTool I did the following:
I installed the Universal ADB drivers, got the bootloader unlocked, installed CWM, installed SuperSU, installed Stock recovery... reboot. Winning.
Thanks all for your excellent work

yes, The VirusPlus tool was updated and works fine now with the recovery and CWM I sent him that I used. There was a small problem at the start but he has corrected it. Glad your all sorted now. I noticed a small update today for the 6 Plus, nothing much but you need to be back on stock recovery to update it. Easy now though to go back to CWM whenever you want to.

I reflashed back to stock recovery after installing supersu, do you need to reinstall CWM and supersu after an OTA update or doesn't it affect root?

It does depend on the update. Most times (minor updates) it will be fine and survive the OTA update but at least you have the tools to put it back on if it does after a major update or re-flash of the ROM. There is a setting in SuperSU about updates, may be worth checking it out but I think one of the settings is only available on the Pro or donated version.

Did anyone already try the EMUI 3.1 (Android 5.1) ROM on the H6+ and succesfully got Root with this tool?

Mine was rooted as well, that was not a problem.
I did loose root after installation though.

after you rooted, can it downgraded to emui 3.0 again?

I don't understand your question.
Why would I want to downgrade back to EMUI 3.0 and what does it have to do with root?
My advice in general when installing a complete ROM:
Install Stock Recovery.
Download complete ROM package (inclusing the dload/UPDATE.APP file).
Install as Local update using the Updater app.
I'm not sure if this would work the same with downgrading.

My tedious update of M8SW to Marshmallow with TWRP backups

Hiya People,
Just wanted to share my journey and my TWRP backups with you all.
I have a M8sw (dual-SIM) mec_dugl which many thanks and :highfive: and respect to DutchDanny, I converted it to a M8sw Europe/UK version running near stock Lollipop 5.0.2 Sense 6 RUU 2.33.401.6.
When I saw the Marshmallow update, I was over the moon and decided to download it straightaway but as I had TWRP as recovery, the phone was rooted and had xposed installed, I knew I didn't have much of a chance.
So guess what? The Marshmallow update downloaded OK and then tried to go into recovery but since it was TWRP, it failed. So I took the OTA zip file from the phone's downloaded folder and extracted out the recovery.img from the firmware.zip and replaced TWRP. I then uninstalled xposed and turned off SuperSU. This time round, I go a similar message as http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/help-htc-e8sd-mm-update-install-error-t3345406
So I decided to follow a mixture of DutchDanny's [REMODEL][S-OFF NEEDED] M8SW China Remodel to M8SW EU and yourmate's guide get OTA updates.
To cut the already long story short, I went back to L5 Stock 2.33.401.3 then use OTA updates to L5 Stock 2.33.401.6 and then finally to the part 1 of the Marshmallow update L5 Stock 2.33.401.8 and at each stage, I reflash TWRP, wipe and then backup and then reflash the OTA recovery.img in readiness for the next OTA
So I have the last Lollipop 5.0.2 Stock HTC Sense 6 Europe 2.33.401.8 factory reset TWRP backup AND Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock HTC Sense 7 Europe 3.07.401.1 factory reset TWRP backup in all its glory with bloatware and all.
Enjoy!

I have remodeled my phone following the DutchDanny guide. I rooted the phone and installed xpose. BUT to install marshmallow I first install the lolipop RUU from hboot. then enter to system update to marshmallow without any problem. finally I flash TWRP and then flash supersu and that all for me.

bro help

both no wifi, driver is missing, any fix? everything else works just fine.

good day sir, that is a Marshmallow TWRP backup right? if i restore the file with my M8sw (dual-SIM) mec_dugl, will it work and give me an MM firmware? coz mine just got recovery loop after i updated with MM and is it converted to EU version already? Thanks!

I have downloaded your "Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock HTC Sense 7 Europe 3.07.401.1 factory reset TWRP backup" and recover it in twrp but after the recovery it just stuck in bootloop. What must I do to make it working?

I also had the same problem after upgrading to MM.... my guess is that it's the kernel module for wifi which need to be updated.... seems like HTC isn't putting much effort to implement the new update...
I went back to lollipop with a twrp backup.

I actually has stock rom with no modification that will cause bootloop when upgrading.. I only had to unroot.. Flash stock boot and recovery and let OTA do the rest
I haven't tried the twrp backup on this thread.

Keep in mind that you'll need an unmodified stock ROM for OTA to be a success... Being rooted or having xposed framework causes bootloops.
As for the Chinese store.. You can easily replace it with Google apps.... Just follow the direction in this video.. You can skip it to 1:50mins....

Thank you so much for your reply. I tried to update(OTA) my kitkat[1.21.1402.11] rom to lollipop last night but when I woke up there's this error saying that I should have unmodified rom in order to download the OTA. this ROM that im using is the stock RUU from this link. I dont know why it says that it is modified. does it something to do with my location? because im in the Philippines and this is phone is from China. Hmm, really having a problem updating to MM. Sorry I'm new in HTC's because I'm a Samsung user from the past.

Fail to load wifi driver on marshmallow twrp rom
Hello
My device is a HTC e8 Chinese version that is remodeled to EU version.
After upgrading to Marshmallow with twrp, everything seemed to be OK but Wi-Fi persists to be in OFF situation and it couldn't be ON.
And then I put the phone on Airplane mode and then I start Wi-Fi again, when I did it, a notification appeared that it told me:
"Fail to load driver, reason: Module is not compatible (8)."

It seems that mostly everyone with the china unicom is facing this issue... It has something to do with the kernel or kernel module for WiFi... Unless a developer is able solve this problem... We're gonna have to wait for HTC to fix this via an OTA update.

If you were on Android 6 previously, then flash TWRP and install an official Android 6 firmware with TWRP. After that do a factory reset.

The other roms just fail before starting..
Any ideas? I'm starting to think the phone won't work again

You need TWRP V3+.
You can also install the ones for Huawei Mate S but try with v3.1.1-0.
Don't forget to flash a FULL-OTA package because you're flashing OTA's. Also this old version of TWRP works only on Android 5 firmware.
Another method is to extract the STOCK RECOVERY partition with Huawei Update Extractor, flash it in fastboot, then install the UPDATE.APP with dload method, but it might give you the incompatibility message because of the CUST difference.

My Hauwei P8 max is bricked as well, tried all the ones you have. Could I have a look at the site you have(Russian) as my Hauwei uses emui to upload. Bought it for $30 on ebay as is(bricked)

Sorry I didn't keep the phone or the ROM files... Phone would freeze it's memory every 3 months and I had to reflash to keep it running. I have had 3 different phones after that one so I didn't think to keep the roms

I have one more firmware but not dload. Its still p8 bht not max, do not know if it good for anything Having a bit of ----uploading it!

it is not worth it to do this just savage the parts of it and get a refurbished huawei p10 lite phone those phones have a lot of rom support

Well I got nowhere. The moment I reboot into bootloader, the device isn't visible in adb anymore, but only under "fastboot devices", so "adb sideload path-" fails because it can't find the device. What gives?

I'm still on TWRP at this stage. I can't get past step 7.

Hi guys,
is it necessary to sideload OTA updates? Can I just update the system in settings and then flash a rooted boot image corresponding to the update version?

This is for people like me who are not able to run twrp on their phones. If you have twrp you should be able to flash the zip file easy. This guide assumes you have stock recovery

Update: confirmed working for July update as well.

I'm sorry if this seems dumb, but I'm kinda new to all of this. I have TWRP and now I want the July patch, how can I do it?
Update: I gave up and flashed stock recovery.

In twrp it should be straight forward to flash a zip file which includes the update. Another option or if this fails, start sideload from twrp like in the following photos

Hi, links no longer working. Does anyone have working links for V5.15D ? I need stock boot image and OTA update to sideload. Thanks.

Unfortunately the phone has been abandoned by the developers. I have got myself a xiaomi 9t.

Oh man, can you still get stock images or whatnot anywhere? I only need the least that will get me back to stock before I turn it in for warranty but not sure where to start.

Sorry man I relied on the other developer's repository so much that I can't offer any tools nor files. I can help you get to stock easy. As Nokia offers the original Rom on their website officially. I believe it can be found here
https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/betalabs
Register for beta labs then de register and download the latest firmware they offer you

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I attempted to get back to stock via NOST and the 5150 image he provided https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...re-nokia-to-stock-t3867646/page3#post80627823 , but turns out I don't have critical unlocked and seem to have misplaced the unlock key. What can I do next?

The web page requires a validation code that you get from the unlock app from your phone and as we know the app gives a nice "Device not support" if you try running it on Pie. Tested myself just in case.

In the end I've decided to just go for it and see what happens. Shouldn't make things worse. Flashed the stock boot image for my security patch right on top of TWRP. The phone booted, but I still couldn't install updates. Tried flashing the next update (May) from both ADB and the SD card - failed with the same download state initialization error. Figured I may as well try the same but with the full .zip of my current OS version (April) and while it took pretty long, it finished with no issues and OTA's started rolling in without a hiccup. Surprisingly I didn't even lose any of my data in the process, which I was preparing for. I guess all that's left is to lock the bootloader?
Anyway thanks for the help!

[ROOT] [UNLOCK] [ANE-LX1/L01/L21] [Stock EMUI 8/9] P20 Lite

Today I will be giving a tutorial on how to root the Huawei P20 Lite using STOCK ROM (ANE-LX1 ANE-L01 ANE-L21)
If you need bootloader unlock code
----------------------------------------
You can use dc-unlocker but, only if you can rollback to 8.0.0.146 or lower (i was on 8.0.0.46 when i used dc-unlocker).
You can try to use PotatoNV, but that will require testpoint access (haven't tested yet).
You can use HCU client with a 3day account pass, which is quite expensive (I have not actually tested this yet).
Rollback EMUI 9 to EMUI 8
-----------------------------
This is where my frustrations with this phone began.
You can try to use dload method, but in my experience this DOES NOT WORK when you're on EMUI 9.
It will just give you an error about incompatible version, every time.
Forced dload was also a complete bust for me, 24 hours wasted
I was finally able to rollback from HiSuite 11. I was on 9.1.0.200 when I had the option to rollback and it rolled me back to 8.0.0.163.
From 8.0.0.163 I could use normal dload to rollback further until I could use dc-unlocker.
I made the mistake of upgrading to EMUI 9 after I unlocked my bootloader. My advise: if you can manage to get to 8, stay there. It's less bloated and feels smoother. I have not received the option to rollback after I re-upgraded to 9 since. And I have not found AANNYY method to rollback to 8 since then, I pretty much gave up and stayed on EMUI 9.
EMUI 8
---------
copy magisk23.zip to sdcard
flash twrp to recovery_ramdisk.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "twrp-3.2.1-0.img"
EDIT: ***NEW official TWRP version*** TWRP 3.6.2.0_9-0
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "twrp-official-3.6.2_9-0-anne.img"
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
Once in twrp install the magisk23.zip file.
This will patch the boot.img from recovery_ramdisk.img with magisk v23
Reboot -> System
Once in android you will get the usual magisk app, open and allow to perform additional tasks like installing the manager app.
Pretty straight forward
EMUI 9
---------
While still on stock firmware, update your android to the highest possible firmware (HiSuite or on phone -> Settings -> System ....)
1. When your back in android power off phone.
2. Go into fastboot (USB cable plugged in -> Power + Vol Down)
3. Flash twrp into recovery_ramdisk
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-3.2.1-0.img
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
Now In TWRP
4. Install Image -> twrp-3.2.1-0.img into eRecovery partition
5. Install Image -> magisk23_patched-ane.img into Recovery Partition
6. Reboot -> Recovery
Note: So booting into recovery mode gives you a ROOTED environment and System Mode gives you NON-ROOTED.
EDIT: *** With the new TWRP 3.6.2.0_9-0 you will have to boot into recovery (by holding Vol Up + Power till the screen comes on) every time you boot the phone or it will boot into normal system where the root environment isn't present ***
That's it. Now you should have root access.
You can still use twrp, but you have to access it like you would access eRecovery. So from power off (coldstart) -> Hold Vol Up while plugging in the USB Cable, continue to hold Vol Up, till you get the twrp logo.
Caution: This overwrites eRecovery, this can be dangerous, as eRecovery is the only thing standing between you can a hard brick if twrp wont boot anymore. This is due to fastboot not being able to flash eRecovery. You can only flash eRecovery from twrp. This is particularly dangerous if your data partition gets corrupted, this can happen when formatting data through twrp 3.4.0 and above. When your data partition is corrupt, twrp will freeze on the loading logo, leaving you no way to flash the original eRecovery.
Note: I think you can flash the eRecovery_ramdisk.img over the normal recovery_ramdisk in case of a brick situation. Though I haven't tested that idea yet, im just planning on going that route if I run into such a scenario. The eRecovery is particularly usefull as it can recover almost any situation by using wifi to download a stock rom and full flash that entire rom.
This way is robust, no need for key combo's when restarting the device etc.
All Downloads (GDrive):
Gdrive
After the root, you might find yourself needing safetynet attest pass.
This can be achieved by:
1. Open Magisk and setup MagiskHide ( Search on XDA if you don't know how to do this )
2. Magisk Modules -> Install Riru
3. Magisk Modules -> Install from storage -> Select safetynet-fix-v2.1.0.zip
note: If PropsConfig is installed, remove it first and reboot
If you need to use Smali then it's once again kinda straight forward.
1. Copy /system/framework to sdcard (anywhere u can copy it from)
2. Copy the framework folder onto pc
3. Open SmaliPatcher.exe -> Select the framework folder -> select patch options and patch
4. Copy the created magisk module zip file onto sdcard
5. Install magisk module -> Magisk -> Modules -> Install from storage
Hope you have a smooth experience rooting this device.

Can happen only with TWRP 3.4.0 and above.

No matter what I did, dload failed, I must have downloaded 30 roms and tried every which way with dload. Nothing worked!!!!!
dload only worked on same EMUI. So nope sorry dude dload was a no go for me. Maybe it works for someone else, which is why I mentioned it.
And yes, TWRP 3.4.0 and above. I was using a twrp(3.5.2_9-0) from official twrp repository for ANE-LX1 when I formatted my data partition. However, that's not the point.
Someone else is absolutely BOUND to fall into this trap too, and as I said that TWRP came from the official chain.
So my only intention is to warn the next guy who might just be using that version or for whatever other reason twrp doesn't start anymore. I'm just saying - BE CAREFUL

Are you saying I should try to use this TWRP to use HuRUpdater to downgrade to 8?
I plan on using the HiSuite downloaded firmware ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185) with HuRUpdater.
Current folder stucture:
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\update.zip
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\ANE-L01_hw_meafnaf\update_full_ANE-L01_hw_meafnaf.zip
Planned folder structure after renames:
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\update.zip
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\update_all_hw.zip
ANE-LX1 8.0.0.163(C185)\full\HuRUpdater_0.4.zip
Then flash HuRUpdater_0.4.zip in twrp 3.2.1-0 by pretoriano80 like the quoted text suggests?
Am I getting this right?
PS: The twrp I am using now -> 3.2.1-0 GAGUGA Edition (Also the one in my download hyperlink)
EDIT: I am on 9.1.0.355(C185) now. But, it is still trying to give me OTA update of the exact same build, so dunno what thats about

Bingo!

Then I have a problem.
Not one single downloaded firmware anywhere gave me 3 files. It's always just the update.zip (or update_sd.zip for dload) and the hw update.
How can HiSuite flash that firmware then? I just need to flash this 163 rom. But nothing works
***EDIT***
Know what, doesn't matter. I'm pretty fed up with this phone and how Huawei implemented this phones partitioning style and just everything.
I mean where is Odin for Huawei? And just how they withdrew support to get unlock code, limited fastboot command etc.
Just everything about huawei....
I got my ANE-LX1 to a stable root with everything I need working perfectly, so Imma call it a win and move on.
But, you've been great dude and basically almost all useful information I got either came from you ( @-Alf- ) or XDA, so thnx everyone

I'll keep it in my back pocket, when i'm bored some time this week I might try it.
Else screw it, to hell with you huawei.
PS: Still better then the LG G6, which is unrootable (short of opening it up) due to the total inablility to get unlock code.

so do we run this to keep the stock eRecovery?
Install Image -> twrp-3.2.1-0.img into eRecovery partition
coz i got stuck in a situation where the phone would boot to twrp only and nothing else, somehow managed to get back to stock

this is only necessary if you want to have both Magisk root and TWRP on board at the same time. (on EMUI 9.1 ramdisk is
included in the recovery_ramdisk).
If you don't need TWRP, just flash magisk_patched_recovery in fastboot mode.

ok but i was trying to remove bloatware i caused the rom to bootloop and then tried factory reset from twrp and now other than twrp nothing boots, where can i get factory image from to get it back to working?
all i need is root with magisk and want to keep the stock erecovery.
if there are better custom roms with volte etc all working then im willing to try it out

That was not a good idea. On Huawei phones, you can only perform a factory reset from stock recovery.

All Treble GSI ROMs on Huawei have common bugs - no VoLTE, no offline charging, no native call recording...

since now i can only boot to twrp and fastboot mode how do i know the model and region?
i bought the phone as nova3e in UAE and currently was on emui 9.1, if i can just get the erecovery back then can make it download the firmware and flash it
