Honor 6 C [DIG-L21HN] How to root ?

Hi I've unlocked the bootloader of my phone but I can't find any recoveries to push through ADB, therefore I can't flash SU. Does someone have a solution ?
Allright, for the newcomers, I've found a solution for this : (it is very important that you don't update your rom if you've rooted your phone, unless you want a 150$ brick I guess !)
Don't forget to install adb before anything
1. Enable USB debugging in developers option.
2. Connect your phone to a computer and then launch cmd. Type «adb reboot fasboot».
3. Once in fastboot mode we will flash TWRP by typing this : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img».
4. Unplug and reboot your device, on the nag screen keep pressing the up volume button to enter recovery. If it doesn't work then choose shutdown and hit all three buttons while it's booting.
5. Once you are in TWRP, backup everything to extsdcard.
6. Go to wipe and format /data and wipe it under advanced wipe. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER PARTITION !!! ONLY DATA.
7. Once it's done reboot the device. You should have a message telling you that the encryption failed, click reset phone.
8. It should launch TWRP choose reboot to bootloader.
9. Once in fastboot mode type this : «fastboot flash recovery 2ndreco.img» then type : «fastboot reboot».
10. Your phone should now display : «Factory reset low level» when you click reset phone. Once it's done it will automatically reboot but don't let it finish his boot sequence yet. On the nag screen keep pressing the up volume to enter recovery and then choose shutdown.
11. Boot in fastboot mode again and type : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img», then : «fastboot reboot».
Hold the vol.up button while on nag screen to enter TWRP.
If you don't enter TWRP after you typed fastboot reboot and hit the vol.up button but you enter erecovery that's ok, in this case what you need to do is to choose shutdown. Then hold vol.up, vol.down and power buttons to enter TWRP ! Go to install and flash magiskv13.3.zip and voilà your phone is now rooted !
I've not tried but I think you could restore the data partition with TWRP once you've done all those steps but I can't guarantee you anything so this is why I've told you to backup your data.

2ndreco.img file link here
Magisk v13.3 link here

Si I've been able to install twrp but when I try to flash SuperSu.zip it doesn't work. It's crazy !

For those who wants to know, I've tried everything and the only way to go is to format and wipe data in order to disable dm-verity. But if you do that you won't be able to go further because the rom asks you to crypt your datas before continuing....

Hi guys ! Sorry for the wait but here it is, my tutorial to the graal, root on this device :
1. Enable USB debugging in developers option.
2. Connect your phone to a computer and then launch cmd. Type «adb reboot fasboot».
3. Once in fastboot mode we will flash TWRP by typing this : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img».

Can you tell us a little more about these two files? Where have you found them? (Not wanting to sound too paranoid but you know...)

I've found 1streco.img on a Chinese board. It's the work of a guy who managed to make TWRP available to us, users of honor 6c. The second one is the standard recovery image of Honor 6c. Those files are good, don't worry. Once your phone is rooted and everything works good, you can of course update magisk through TWRP to the lastest version.

OK, I have been trying around now for an hour or so... I have one real problem and one possible problem:
1. (the real one) Using Win7 64 bit, each time I send the the phone into fastboot mode, the system tries to install "MTP USB device" drivers... without any success so far. That's why the phone boots normally again. I haven't been able to solve that so far (installed HiSuite for example, didn't help).
2. (the possible one) Should the bootloader be unlocked? If yes, I have to admit I haven't found a way to do that so far. :-/

Of course the bootloader must be unlocked before doing anything, you can request a code here on Huawei website : http://en.ui.vmall.com/plugin.php?id=unlock

bravo there is machine back or full backup with recovery

Did you manage to root your phone ?

beautiful, can you install a module on magisk? if yes how because when installing the modules I get a failure when editing magisk.img thanks ?

No, you can't because of dm-verity, you.can manually install via recovery tho.

For the Russian version 6s failed to implant. ADB reboot fastboot this command does not put the phone in fastboot mode.

[GUIDE] How to unlock bootloader on Nokia 3

*Unlocking bootloader will remove all your data!*
I'm using Windows 7, and that's the steps i did. (it should be simmilar for other systems too)
Getting code:
Code will look simmilar to this: DB1ED223C5537BA756FB0671E425D650
Method 1 (no root):
Go to
https://passwordsgenerator.net/md5-hash-generator/ copy paste serial number and click generate. Then you should see code in "MD5 Hash of your string". You can also go to simmilar md5 hash generator sites, but this site automatically converts small letters to big letters.
Method 2 (root):
Okay, this is new method that is much easier and you don't need to send IMEI and wait for @the_laser to give you code. Go to terminal emulator, type su and execute it. Then type this and execute it:
redweaver said:
Actually the command is
echo -n NE1GAM4770133666 |md5sum |tr [:lower:] [:upper:]
If you don't use the -n flag, the newline character is also passed and you get a different result

Unlocking bootloader:
Download platform-tools which activates adb and fastboot commands (first you need Nokia 3 driver installed if you didn't)
Nokia 3 driver: http://www.devfiles.co/download/3iK0k7Sv/Nokia_3_USB_Drivers.zip
platform-tools Windows: http://www.devfiles.co/download/KtLsN6fX/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
platform-tools Mac: http://www.devfiles.co/download/OkrfluP0/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
platform-tools Linux: http://www.devfiles.co/download/vk5DudZX/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
Enable usb debugging in Developer options before running adb. To get Developer options, go to settings, about phone and press build number 7 times. Also enable OEM unlock.
Now Connect phone to computer via usb and enable usb file transfer, run cmd as administrator, then type this command which runs adb:
chdir C:/Users/John/Desktop/platform-tools (this is just a example, you need to type your own location of platform-tools)
then type this command to check is your device connected to adb, it will show serial number of your device, if it hangs at waiting device, then you need to reinstall drivers (if you're doing this first time, then it will ask to allow usb debugging on your computer, just tick always allow from this computer and click OK)
adb devices
then type this command to reboot to recovery (you can boot to recovery by holding power on + volume up (only with usb connected) if this command doesn't works)
adb reboot recovery
when booted to recovery, choose reboot to bootloader option with volume sliders (this will boot to fastboot)
when booted to fastboot, it will show text 'FASTBOOT MODE' in down-left corner
now type this command to check is your device connected properly to fastboot.
fastboot devices
if it show characters like 0123456789ABCDEF or simmilar then it is connected properly, if it hangs on waiting device, then you need to reinstall drivers like mentioned above.
Android Nougat (7.0 & 7.1.1):
Now type these commands to unlock bootloader
fastboot.exe -i 0x2e04 oem key (type your key after oem key)
fastboot.exe -i 0x2e04 oem unlock
then press volume up, when asked
Android Oreo (8.0 & 8.1):
First download NE1-0-215H.lk.bin:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZaLMs7ZclQ2wvKwSb0ofUraMmrsiHh6uk1X
Now type these commands to unlock bootloader
fastboot oem dm-verity <your_unlock_key>
fastboot flash lk NE1-0-215H.lk.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Proceed your unlock procedure.
If you have problem on flashing the lk partition, you can use MTK Smart Phone Flash Tool to flash lk partition manually.
After lk partition flashed, you may encounter "Red State" when booting the phone. Ignore that and boot your phone to Fastboot mode directly with OST LA.
That is it, i tried to explain for you to understand everything i did to unlock bootloader.
Credits:
@the_laser for codes, some additional steps and corrections. Also thanks for new method. @redweaver for new method.
@Hikari_kalyx for Android Oreo method. @bigrammy for NE1-0-215H.lk.bin link.

way to enter recovery without adb -
power off phone
press and hold volume up + power on buttons, insert cable immediately
countdown will start on phone, hold both keys until countdown ends, then IMMEDIATELY release power on key, still holding volume up
you will enter recovery shortly
after installing TWRP it is very important - DO NOT allow /system modification until supersu package installation ! ( or you will require reflashing phone with OST )
another note - can't enter recovery by combination volume-up + power button, if phone not connected to computer
one man reported, that even he successfully flashed TWRP image with "fastboot flash recovery <twrp image>", he still got original recovery.
workaround is to use "fastboot boot <twrp image>" - as we need to have USB cable connected to enter TWRP recovery anyway, not big problem.

Someone told me that if you flashed twrp, that it automatically removes data encryption. Is that true?
EDIT: i find out that is not true, it asks for some password to decrypt data, but the problem is that idk what is the password

DON'T install xposed! It bootlops.
EDIT: My fault, it actually work but you need to wait more than usual to boot.

That is great guys.
Do we have a working recovery yet?

I use this twrp https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsmTb5aqoY12mDZqDZbPOp47QVMV
I have stock recovery, but I use fastboot command 'fastboot boot recoveryname.img' when I need TWRP, and that's awesome because I don't lose stock recovery which is useful to flash OTAs and Nokia zips. I flashed SuperSu 2.79 just fine, but expect some crashes like software update, device monitor crash, but actually everything works, software update works just fine.

TWRP can't handle Android 7.x default disk encryption, just press "cancel" and we need to use sdcard as storage for backups and packages because of this

link for twrp
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsmTb5aqoY12mDZqDZbPOp47QVMV
when downloaded, copy twrp to folder platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img
reboot to fastboot, then type this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then reboot, fastboot reboot
if it didn't worked, use this command just to boot to twrp (you need to do this everytime when you are connected to PC)
fastboot boot recovery.img
To install root, first disable system modification on twrp then flash this zip for root.
This is not the latest version of SuperSU, but newest releases have some problems and crashes. (at least for me). This is last version that works for me.
That is it.

Thank you!

Is it possible after unlocking, installing twrp and root, to return the device to factory settings for ota updates? If so, how?

Click to collapse
on twrp, there is a option wipe, click on it, then you will see option swipe to factory reset. then wait and reboot.
And you can now enable system modification if you want (it is recommended to enable it because some zips fails to flash because this option is disabled)

After installing TWRP and rebooting, does not want to boot Android, weighs in on the initial splash screen what to do
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly

[Guide] Google Camera without root/magisk (Enable Camera2Api, EIS)

First of all, credit to AridaneAM for the original thread (April 2018 patch and earlier) and to prannoytambe for the updated manual steps (May 2018 patch and onwards).
Steps:
0) To avoid problems in storage mounting, disable pattern/password. When the process is finished you can enable pin/pattern again.
1) You have to enable developer options, OEM unlock and USB debugging before use the app:
2) Install adb/fastboot drivers (if you don't have it)
3) Enable HAL3, EIS. Steps below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76850364&postcount=1591

Boot into twrp. (don't touch the phone in twrp).
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Phone will be wiped here !
Setup the phone and enable oem unlock and usb debug and start from step 1 .
5.To see if the phone is detected(phone will be twrp now).
Code:

6.Adb Shell for adding camera functionality in build,prop
Code:
adb shell
7.Enable HAL3
Code:
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
8.Enable EIS
Code:
setprop persist.camera.eis.enable 1
9.Exit of adb shell
Code:
exit
10.Reboot in fastboot mode.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
11.To see if the phone in fastboot is detected.
Code:
fastboot devices
12.Imp Step - Bootloader lock - Hold the volume down button.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
13.Reboot into system.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Hold the volume down button before the code is run till the phone restarts to fastboot again. This bypasses the userdata wipe trigger. Please see if anything can be done to preserve data of old system.

Much helpful,
1) please provide me twrp link for this method ?
2) what after booting into twrp ? Will it boot itself to system after booting to twrp so i can setup and enable oem unlock etc ? Because no one has mentioned that do we need to reboot or what after booting to twrp and also booting twrp is triggering factory reset , so what to do as you have mentioned that start from step 1, it will reset the phone again before step 5. Little confused in this stage

All the files you need are bundled together with the original tool. After unlocking, the phone will reset when you boot into twrp. This means setting up the phone again then going back to step 1 of the manual steps but this time, no need to unlock because it is already unlocked. You can go directly to booting into twrp. Hope that helps.

Booting twrp gain wont boot into system again ? Will twrp stay there ?
I was wondering if you could make a video tutorial ? It would be helpful for all the confused ppl like me

The phone won't reset when you boot into twrp the second time. You can then enable hal3 and eis.

Mi A2 Google camera without root
Hello sir,
Please make a blog on how to install Google camera without root in Mi A2.

does this lose OTA updates?
The other ones say they keep updates.
I have Mi A1 with Android One 8.1.0 and Sept 5 Security
Will this method work on this version and keep OTA updates going forward?
thanks

^You keep OTA updates.

Hi,
Just to make sure I understand this correctly.
1.) The automatic official OTA update is still available, right? eg. the DEC18 OTA will be updated automatically to my phone
2.) And whether the 'next' OTA will reset the camera2 api enable back to default?
Thanks.

1. Yes.
2. It won't reset camera2 api settings, ie, gcam will continue to work, provided you don't factory reset.

Thanks! I really appreciate your fast reply.
I would need a bit more help from you.
I'm still stuck at step 'fastboot boot twrp.img'.
After the command, the commandline show Finish. The phone reset with the white AndroidOne page (its status oem unlock), after that you can see the running colorful line so that means it is booting. But it stuck there forever​
What can I expect here?
As the boot was not completed (suck at running colorful line), I cannot move further to phone setup to continue with 'adb shell'
I think if I'm able to pass thru the whole process, I will try to make a clip. Seem it will be helpful for everyone.

Try restarting manually, setup the phone, then try fastboot boot twrp again.

Just to confirm, it works with the November update. Volume down button helps a lot to avoid data wipe. Thanks!

[GUIDE] Unlock bootloader without losing user data.

Hi, I am writing this guide because many people followed other guides in the forum and lost their data. This is the proper way of unlocking the bootloader without losing your data.
0 - Read the whole guide before proceeding and proceed at your own risk!
1 - Make sure you have adb and fastboot installed on your device,
For Windows follow this guide (I suggest installing it system-wide, so that you can execute commands from every directory on your PC): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
For MacOS and Linux : https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
2 - After the required tools are installed go to Settings -> About Phone on your phone and keep tapping on build number until a toast notification tells you that the developer settings are enabled.
3 - Go to Settings -> System -> Developer Settings and enable OEM unlocking option.
4 - Turn off the phone and when it's fully off, hold power + vol down button to boot into fastboot mode. When you've done this step successfully, you will see a blue FASTBOOT text on the screen with a bunny scrambling the internals of Android.
5 - Connect your phone to your PC and open a CLI/terminal/PowerShell window and type this but do NOT hit enter :
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
when you are ready to execute the command, start pressing only vol down button and then hit enter, HOLD vol down until the phone boots into fastboot mode again. This basically tricks the phone to boot into Fastboot mode instead of erase mode. To make sure the phone doesn't boot into erase mode on the next boot you need to do the following:
6 - While in fastboot mode type this into the CLI/terminal/PowerShell window but do NOT hit enter :
Code:
fastboot reboot
when you are ready to execute the command, start pressing only vol down button and then hit enter, HOLD vol down until the phone boots into fastboot mode again.
7 - Now you are ready to boot into your system. Either boot by holding power button or typing
Code:
fastboot reboot
into the terminal and hitting enter.
By rebooting twice, you make sure the phone doesn't boot into erase mode. If you flash the stock ROM beforehand and setup your device (login to Play Store), your device will still be Play Store certified by this method. But if you unlock the bootloader and the phone erases its storage, you won't be able to download apps like Netflix, because your device will not be certified by Play Store, this is because the Play Store checks for unlocked bootloaders. But by making it check the certification while it's locked and then unlocking the bootloader, you can make this issue go away. Feel free to ask for more proper guides for dummies, if you need. I have bricked my device many times and learnt by trial and error, so I'd be happy to make you avoid those same mistakes. Cheers.

No need double reboot

It is not necessary, but a preventative measure. I've had instances where I hadn't rebooted twice and the phone booted into erase mode. This is a guide for people who want to make sure they won't lose data.

Another tip:
If you're with stock everything and don't want to loose data, do not boot into recovery mode (power + vol+) as it sometimes try to wipe data without any confirmation. Did happened here once, back in March 2019, but thankfully my pictures and most data are stored in MicroSD card.

Can confirm, if your bootloader is unlocked and you don't have TWRP installed, booting into recovery mode will wipe the device.

When I type fastboot oem unlock and press enter, a screen shows on the device to select unlock or do not unlock. Then what?

It shouldn't ask you to unlock phone or not in fastboot mode, as what I did unlocked mine for months ago. It should return you to fastboot mode in a flash (a fraction of seconds) and manually restart your phone by holding up power button until you'll see unlocked warning and AndroidOne logo.
If it is, try to select "unlock", but your data may wipe afterwards.

You have another device. This is for Mi A2 Lite, not Mi A2. And on top of that, it works for Android Pie. I don't know for stock Android 10 since we (Mi A2 Lite users) don't have it yet (as of my writing).

You can unlock with the same method. But I believe you will flash a zip from TWRP to fix SIM cards and that will break your phone if you lock the bootloader. So after fixing the SIM cards, you need to leave the phone unlocked, otherwise phone will be bricked. If you want to get rid of the ugly splash screen, you can flash a custom splash you can find in the forum.

So after unlocked the devices, it's recommended to install TWRP to avoid this right ?

You can leave it as is, but don't ever boot into recovery if you value your data from Internal Storage or if haven't backed up data to MicroSD.

I think I'm gonna install TWRP for safety, my data is already on MicroSD.
EDIT : Is possible to install TWRP & Root without losing data / need to flash Decrypt ?

You don't need to decrypt. You can install TWRP and flash Magisk through TWRP.

I'm not sure but probably not. Because Mi 10 is a MIUI device and this is an Android One. Still you gotta try to make sure, but the risk is all yours. Cheers.
