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 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!

Warning: This is probably gonna be a long post and may have typos.
Now, let's cut to the chase.
I'm currently on my Mate 8 emui.4, I had my phone rooted a while ago with TWRP and SuperSu. After rooting, I had the nougat update and I updated without knowing that it would remove TWRP and my root access. That was not the only problem! I couldn't switch on my Bluetooth. Also I lost the update option from the about phone location. I tried searching it in the search bar and clicking on the update button but, nothing would open up. And.. Yes, it was an official update. I tried to root it with the usual method but, it got me into a bootloop. I tried most TWRP versions but, it didn't seem to work! Either there would be no recovery (just a Black screen with some text) or the options inside the TWRP recovery wouldn't work. So I rerolled back to Mate 8 marshmellow. Now I don't have root, no TWRP or unlocked bootloader. So my question is if I should root my current phone version of emui.4 and be satisfied by it by unlocking bootloader now and rooting it, or update my phone to Mate 8 nougat again? If you're suggesting I update to nougat please provide me with ALL the necessary files and please guide me through. And provide be with the information on what to do in the worst case scenario too.. Please . :crying:
Anyone?
hi
I have a Honor 8 FRD-L09C432B394, rooted latest magisk and twrp.
There is an OTA update, available, on the phone only, not available with HiSuite..
I would like to update, I uninstalled Magisk, But no way to replace twrp with stock recovery with latest Huawey MultiTool V8.
Don't know why but my FRP is locked.
I found some ways to solve it, AAbox2_17.11, or DC Unlocker 2, but I dont understand how it works, and I don't want to brick my phone...
I also found a tutorial to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow, this could solved my problem...
Do you have any info? Please.
thanks for your answer, I will try it with huawey tools
Ok, I finally managed to update my firmware to b399...
thanks @Rommco05
But, now, I have a problem with the bluetooth...
I posted another subjet about that :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/bluetooth-inactive-b399-update-t3727042
I finally managed to snag myself a bootloader unlock code from dc-unlocker.
So can I ask for help for directions here as to where can I read and follow rooting, TWRP installation and installing either a rooted Oreo or a modded working Nougat ROM of BLL-L22?
Another question, out of curiosity, is there a way to switch this phone's software to BLN (Honor 6x) since they're so similar, as to make it easier to just follow proper instructions here, rather than find if any method here would work on my model?
Thanks!
Uh, sure. First of all, you can get Oreo. Official EMUI 8. Or you can flash a Pie custom ROM. Now you need Oreo for that as well so we'll first cover that. To update to Oreo first decide what firmware you want. You can either update to EMUI 8 India or China. India is good as daily driver. China is good for flashing Custom ROMs. Once you have decided, download HWOTA for Honor 6x from XDA. Search for it. Next you need firmware files. If you want Oreo from India search for BLN-L22 HNC185 on Firmware Finder and then download latest Full-OTA. Otherwise search for BLN-AL20 and download latest Full-OTA.
Hi,
I have the an european Honor6x BLN-21 still on EMUI 5.0.3. I want to upgrade to OpenKirin/Omnirom 5.2 but that requires EMUI 8.
Do I understand it correctly that I can use "Resurrection Remix OS Beta 3" to get my Honor6x to EMUI 8? or can i directly use Omnirim 5.2?
Cheers
Hello there,
absolutely not! You've misunderstood the correct path to follow. You can't flash RROS beta 3 over EMUI 5.0.3 because it requires your device to be already on EMUI 8 in way to correctly flash those ROMs. You should do this before:
1) unlock the bootloader of your device;
2) debrand your device to India variant thanks to this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402;
3) update to EMUI 8 in way to finally obtain Treble compatibility, steps listed here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317
If you manage to update to EMUI 8, you'll open wide your path to many other stuff (GSIs, ROMs for EMUI 8), and so you'll have the better base/preparation to start playing. Good luck
alright ill to become indian
if were on that, is whats the cheapest way to get the bootloader unlocked these days?
DC-Unlocker is the anwser. The credits necessary to unlock the device are 4$, as said by many other users, but since that in this way you can give a new life to your phone, it's an acceptable compromise.
