Do you have a copy of the CWM recovery for EMUI 3.0 Honor Plus 6? I tried your procedure and the recovery did not work and I have trouble with the bootloader unlock and had to use a different method to get the unlock code.
Can you provide me with the actual CWM or TWRP recovery please?
Thanks for the tutorial , I hope to root.

did huawei release kernel for Honor 6 plus
Hey. Has anyone managed to get the unlock code out of Huawei for the Honor 6+ PR-TL10 recently I've read that people have had an issue with it and noticed that at least one other poster here had had an issue getting one off them. I get an error on the site saying I'm to email them, from what I've read on other threads though they haven't been forth coming with the unlock codes. Did anyone manage to get it out of them or find another solution. I'm trying to root my phone and such things but without the code from what I've read I won't have much/any luck. Cheers

There's no quick and easy guide because the phone is chinese and there's no official support for it in europe or anywhere else. If you wanted easy rooting you should've bought a nexus phone. That IS the rooting process, provided you have unlocked your phone with the code from Huawei first. If you read the author's post he mentions it at the first step and there are other threads about how to unlock your phone. It needs to be unlocked before it can be rooted. You can do it from Huawei's website if you are in the countries they send codes to or if you're not (like me) you can do what I did and email them. Here's the thread on that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800079 . To save you the time of searching how and where to email them here's what I did (original post isn't mine):
Email them at [email protected]. DO NOT email from a gmail account they won't reply to you:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am not able to generate my bootloader unlock code for my Honor 6 Plus. Please send me the unlock code for my device:
Model: PE-TL10
SN: XXXXXXXXXXX
IMEI: XXXXXXXXXX
Product ID: XXXXXXX
And hope they will reply to you. I also had my wife send it in chinese from her QQ mail and they only replied to her because I used gmail. In case you want the chinese version here it is:
你好，
我需要我的荣耀 6 plus的解锁代码。但是因为人在国外无法从网上获取，请问可以发给我吗？ 谢谢
Model: PE-TL10

IMEI: XXXXXXXXX
Product ID: XXXXXXXX
At the thread I mentioned earlier there are solutions for getting the code via different emails: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800079&page=395
I suggest you create a QQ mail or a weibo account like the fella in the thread above.
Now about the rooting process it doesn't require any chinese knowledge that's why I've put the steps there and mentioned all the sub-steps you need to do. In case you don't know what "root folder" means in the steps it's the parent folder when you connect your phone to the pc. It's called root folder in linux/android.
Spare the crap and tell me the unlocking bootloader method again.

Whatever the thing is. First of all tell me how to get unlocking bootloader code? Secondly the author of the post mentioned the steps. OK! But then again, if he is an expert that he actually wrote the article for rooting the Honor 6+ phone, then how come is simply showed the screenshots and just got moving like as if he was on a rollercoaster. He should have explained all the steps in great details. Thirdly he was so absent minded while writing that in his first initial post, wherein he is explaining the whole process, he forgot to paste the link(s) for the tools we need to follow his steps. He mentioned in furhter down the line post, the link where we can have all those files. Fourthly, the tools names are bit changed against what he used himself in the tutorial. Fiftly I have installed the ADB tools, will somebody tell me how to do that fastboot mode or whatever crap that is? I am stuck.
So kindly, if you are that much expert, just explain to me in layman terms. By the way I am not a fool, I have used samsung and sony phones before and rooted them multiple times.
Thanking you once again.

Fixed step 2 in the process, refer to it.
I have already mentioned in detail how to get the unlock code from Huawei. The link to Huawei's unlocking page is here: http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail . On their website it's quite simple if you create an account you can just put your serial number and request for code if Huawei supports your country. Otherwise follow the email process I mentioned above.
Ok! I have recieved my bootloader unlocking code. What's next?

There's no option to select in your screenshot, it says "PRESS ANY KEY"!!!
I wouldn't suggest you go ahead with your phone rooting if you can't follow simple instructions cause you might end up bricking your device. You will have to do a lot of research on how fastboot, rooting and adb work then come back and try it again.
What simple instructions you are talking about?

Did you even tell me what to do with my UNLOCKING CODE for BOOTLOADER? yet you say I will brick my device. I told you that I have rooted phones before, and if this one is new for me, OK, explain things so that I will do it once and then be on my own next time with any huawei device. Tell me first what to do with the bootloader unlock code which I have recieved from HUAWEI. Secondly I am going to post you the second picture of the tool after PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE and you be the judge of what the heck its trying to say in the chinese.
1- successfully installed ADB drives.
2- Ran this fastboot tool 点这里开始.bat from "Smart unlock tool" folder and the step 2 gives me the WAITING FOR DEVICE message and after that its long gone and no response. What should I do here? Which Mode should the mobile be in during all this step 2?
but before doing step 2, tell me should I connect my phone in normal MTP DEVICE mode or should I Power it off and boot into recovery or flash kind of stuff mode?
just tell me first 2 steps then I can manage hopefully.
and first and foremost, do not forget to tell me about what to do with the bootloader unlock code.
Thank you sir.

How did you root devices without knowing how to fastboot a device or use adb tools?!?! I've already sent you the link to the thread with the full guide for unlocking the phone I won't go through it again here just because you haven't gone through the trouble of reading it.
As far as the message goes it says "Waiting for device" that implies your device isn't recognized either because it's not unlocked or you haven't turned on usb debugging mode in developer options. I won't explain to you how fastboot and adb work here there are plenty of guides out there which you should've read already. Do some research and read the threads carefully before replying.
Hello everyone,

Xiaomi.eu remove bootloader locking from its rom, so Xiaomi.eu and sMiui 6.1.14 roms are safe!
This is going to be a problem for me. Brought my phone from ibuygou and my phone came with a mi account already associated with it and I don't know the password for it :/

Create a new account, where you will input all your data, including the phone number...
Achive Diamond member on MIUI forum..with that new account, otherwise you will not be able to unlock it.
Just hit that restore to factory deff. button in security and your phone will be wiped. remember to backup everything on computer.
After your phone is factory deff. then on the initial setup, input the new MI account you just created.. and you're good to go.
Application will be made by the unlock tool, once you logged with your UID (the account number on forum) and password. As soon as MI will let you unlock the bootloader, you will receive an SMS, that your account was allowed to unlock it.
Only after that, you will be able to unlock the bootloader.

yes.. just a simple wipe will do..also cache and davilk cache..
after that, you can apply for new MI acoount. The one you will own, and know everything about it.
I didn't payed too much attention, but how in the world, ibuygou to send you a new device with a prestored MI account?! I don't get it.

It came with an xiaomi.eu ROM and twrp already installed. Worryingly I've done a full system wipe and clean install of a xiaomi.eu ROM before and it hasn't reset my mi account. Or so I thought, will try again Friday or at the weekend.
Isn't locking bootloader against Mi's 'geek' spirit?
Locking bootloader is aimed to provide better user experience, which we've been trying to do the whole time. In the meantime, we've provided a unlocking tool for senior users who know their ways around flashing and tweaking their devices. (Unlocking Tutorial)
The unlocking process is really simple. After unlocking, the device can do all the things as before we locked bootloader.
The unlocking procedure will need Internet access to get the unlocking password. Also, the Mi Account logged in on the Mi phone and the unlocking tool needs to be the same. Otherwise the unlocking request will be denied. This will ensure that ill-intentioned people will not get access to your personal data.

What a poor move by them
Well, I think a *****, more coming from a company that its beginnings were a simple modified ROM, if all the phones have blocked today Xiaomi not exist. These behaviors piss me much. At least hopefully option to open it easily, like google with the nexus

excuse , as you become a diamond member?
Maybe they want to protect new costumers from bloatware installed by resellers, and the only option is locking the bootloader...
BUT
-the unlocking peocedure is only in Chinese at the moment
-you don't receive the unlock code immediately, the wait could be 15 days
-Xiaomi locked already sold phone by an update without writing it on changelog
I own a Mi4c by 2 weeks, fortunately I'm on sMiui, otherwise with this update I would have returned this phone

You need to be very active on en.miui.com forum...
Maybe if you open a post in that community someone could help you in a better way...
This move by Xiaomi will prevent other s**t from resellers...
Well I guess don't want to flash the developer rom, then
How will this affect roms like sMIUI or Xiaomi.eu?
I understand why they did it, but I don't like how they enabled it. They should have made all future phones being made/shipped out be locked, so then you know from the start you have a locked bootloader. I feel bad whoever ran into issues with updating with a custom recovery.
Sent from my MI 4W using Tapatalk
It might be foreboding of a move into more international markets for them. Seems like an attempt to cripple resellers that modify stock or flash the EU roms in any case.
I can't imagine any other incentive for them to make this move, since they've always been so focused on ROM development themselves, they must've realized this would not sit well with their audience. I remember people marveling at the first MIUI ROM when it came around for the Nexus One. Weird how that feels nostalgic already.
I ordered a 4c not 24 hours ago, I hope this doesn't mean I'll get treated to an unlock process exclusively in Chinese before I can get a crack at it. But no use worrying about that yet, cross that bridge when we get to it.
Does anyone has an idea on what to do with this phone now?
I just bought it today and I was going to install xiaomi.eu rom. Now I have just spent 2000 HKD on a phone full of "MI accounts" and Chinese software that is no use to me... Even the unlock method requires diamond status or whatsoever on your MI account? I don't even want to have a MI account!! This is madness.. and the unlock software is all in Chinese even on your phone!

Return the phone to the seller, if there is a pre existing MiAccount the phone is used, not new, I never heard of phone with TWRP installed from the seller, they usually use a live version to hide the modification...
I hope you have paid with PayPal

Probably your phone will come with a old unofficial version of miui, simply don't apply 6.1.14 china dev, if you want an official rom flash the last stable, or sMiui...
I think they need to sell of the existing stock before pushing locked bootloader smartphone to resellers...

I understand why they did it, but I don't like how they enabled it. They should have made all future phones being made/shipped out be locked, so then you know from the start you have a locked bootloader. I feel bad whoever ran into issues with updating with a custom recovery.

It seems to be a panic solution from XIAOMI... But I for one, have had bloatware/malware installed when I got the device. I just bought one for my girlfriend, and I'm positive that there is bloatware installed as well.
I am sure that the team at Xiaomi are reading this, and when XDA members (like me) complain about bloatware, they see a threat, as I sure as hell won't recommend a device from Xiaomi to rookie users because of the bloatware.

Return the phone to the seller, if there is a pre existing MiAccount the phone is used, not new, I never heard of phone with TWRP installed from the seller, they usually use a live version to hide the modification...
I hope you have paid with PayPal

I probably did not explained very well... what i mean by MI account is all the software related to it.
I mean there is not even Global ROM for this phone! I just wanted to install Xiaomi.eu rom and then to use the Google Now Launcher until Cyanogen gets more stable!

Like I said, they need to do this, but they done it in the worst way, failing costumers trust...
At least now I can suggest the mi4c when normal people ask, as alternative to the factory locked RedMi Note 3...
Hi guys, I've googled high and low and I can't seem to find anything that I a)understand or b) feel is relevant to my situation.
I bought a HTC on ebay, it arrived, I put my sim in and realised it was rooted. The phone doesn’t work on my network, I knew this when I bought it so I bought an unlock code but due to the root, I can’t seem to enter it, it just says no sim inserted.
Ideally I’d like to remove the root, I’m not a technophobe and learn pretty quickly, but I just don’t understand all these different versions of firmware etc.
I followed the unlockr guide and found out my CID is VODAP001 but the main-version is blank so I don’t know which roms or what have you to download.
I’d be happy leaving the rooting as it is if I could enter my unlock code, but I can’t figure out how to do this either. Is anyone able to help me? I don’t know what’s been done to the phone, the seller is ignoring my messages, I can’t return the phone as I (stupidly) missed the description where it stated the phone is rooted.
If it helps, it says im using cyanogenmod version 13.0.201xxxx and I've seen TWRP when booting to recovery mode etc. I've downloaded a few files, used an all in one mod or something from hasoon but as yet, the file system is unchanged.
I've seen something called sunshine which apparently unlocks to any network but as I've just forked out £100+ for the phone, I don't have the £25 the guides say it charges to unlock
Thank you in advance.

i have vivo v5s , and as you know it doesn't have any custom recovery.
so i try to port it myself even i'm just a noob but it's my phone no one will get hurt but myself , no risk.
i try everything , but when i want to flash the twrp i got this error message , so what should i do?
Vivo doesn't have a method to unlock bootloader, they have locked it from 3rd party roms or recoveries (custom roms and recoveries) as a result the vivo phone's can't be unlocked for now (although they have the oem unlock option) but the company blocked it for stability many people are changing from vivo after knowing that
vivo is not a developing friendly i suggest you buy another phone like pixel which is very friendly with developers.
Xiaomi also is a good choice.
Samsung and Huawei aren't that much friendly too since there lastest updates and upgrades with their phones.
so vivo is like xiaomi?
i didn't know that , should have done better research in the future then ..
i will try it and i hope my first own twrp work!!
Yeah by the way sorry I linked you to the wrong webpage :/
Vivo doesn't have a method to unlock bootloader
But i did unlock and rooted my device but when i tried to use playstore it was a problem so i reinstall the official update but the problem is that i dont remember how i did that.
I have a Google Pixel 3 XL that my son tried to root (without my consent or knowledge). Now the phone is stuck in an unlocked bootloader. I do not know enough about it to fix this issue on my own. I have contacted many local cellphone repair places but none of them will even look at the phone since there is a possibility of it being corrupt. Can someone PLEASE walk me through getting this fixed? I'll need step by step help from start to finish. I'm not very familiar with "kernels" and other android jargon so any help I get, please put it in terms that I can understand.
