Greettings!
I saw the page of the author of the steps of the unlocking method of the Lenovo k5 pro, and there's some differences. Maybe is for the differences in ROM?. By the way, could it safe to install chinnese version of the ROM if I unlock the bootloader?, There are a lot of updates in the chinnese ROM. Unfortunately there aren't any reviews of the ROM in youtube or forums, i think only three of us talk about this in this site, 4pda forum members are more focused in a discussion about sellesr of the phone and not in the phone itself, some other have lied trying to destroy the reputation of the phone. I like the phone, and it's very reliable, i haven't have any issues with it. I would like to test zui 5.0.188 st. Do you try it? or Do you know where to find info about this zui version? Have a nice day. I'm from Mexico too. I ordered my Lenovo phone from Sunsky, Have the model without the M in the back. And the ROM it said is global ROM. zui 5.0.66 st.

Hello paisano, exactly wich differences you saw in the guide?
I unlocked my phone on 5.0.117 ST, that's the "latest" ST version because I tested .118 ST and is the chinesse ROM (ENGLISH/CHINESSE LANGUAGES ONLY) but it comes with a lot of features and a better UI for the launcher and bug fixes, you can remove easily the bloatware. But I don't reccommend you unlocking bootloader on a chinesse or any other bloated ROM. Maybe thats the reason you say you saw differences in guide, because chinesse guys have to install speciffic version of their CN rom.
My reccommendation is to wait until a ROM is released, if you want to test, you can install .118 ST you can use magisk image to root, and if you don't like it you can downgrade to .117ST again, you only need the QFIL firmwares.
Sure, it's probably because of their CN specific ROM, then I would try the other one. Although i was hopping to install the CN. I want to get rid of the google apps, and installed again but only with the gmail, google maps, and playstore, that way only those google apps would be running in the system. And Chinnese ROM, like you said, is more easy to delete chinnese bloatware. Then proceed to install those google app that i have mentioned befored. I haven't installed the CN ROM because the seller told me that it could be some modem and imei compatibility issues. Then, should i move to 117/118 st? Or wait and stay in the .066 st? What improvements does the zui 5.0.117(.118) have that zui 5.0.066 st doesn't have? please. Because, unlike other phones, our models have less/nothing info about the OS (zui) features and improvements. I don't know how the .117 was build, because the global rom supposedly supports OTA but it said no updates. And Chinnese ROM users have got stable updates, they are now in the .188 st. And probably they could got a Pie upgrade zui (android 9).

I almost forgot brother, i'm going to read carefully your guide, and do it. But i was thinking if you agree that i make a video following the guide, for reference to others, about unlock, root and unroot, and TWRP installation. Maybe you, the user who share us the root method, and I would be the west pioneers of the phone, because, really, only the three us have focused in discussing about this matter, like a said before 4pda only are discussing about sellers of the phone, and other spamming with the intention to lower the popularity of the phone. Thank you very much for this guide you prepare. I'm being cautious because i'm really a newbie in this matter about lenovo phones. Other phones are more easy to play with it and improve it. This phone is very strong in its performance and durability, so learn how to use it at its maximum it would be great!.
Good afternoon.
I apologize in advance: I do not know English, so I use machine translation.
What phone model did You unlock? I have a model with 4/64 memory and Motorola logo on the back cover. 4pda from words to action: trying to follow Your guide. My problem is that zui.com doesn't give me an unlock code: it doesn't understand my IMEI. Errors in the IMEI no - it is on the box, and the code *#06# it matches the box. S/n - 6 characters.
And what to do with it - I don't know.
Screenshot attach the not give: little posts. Substitute at the beginning of http:
//4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=925665&view=findpost&p=84264489
UPD: Just found out the serial number is in the settings. However, it is completely different from what Bootloader produces. Are they different?

That's right. But for some reason I have it does not pass... I'll think...
Is there a Motorola logo on the back cover? I don't believe it has any effect, but still...

Global ROM version comes with both Motorola and Lenovo logos, mine is the same, the first time gave me the same imei error because I selected ZUK on zuk.com, then I realized that you have to choose Lenovo and that solve it, maybe you can try with zuk, but may be give you error too

Ask people 4pda go to zui.com to get the code. Then we'll think about why I can't.

Hello:
The IMEI that you need is the one that has 15 digits. Also you need your s/n, and you need a valid email (it can be gmail, outlook, etc...). You need to enter the captcha numbers that appears below (it has time limit, so if it throws you an error message, refresh it).
Also, important to mention. It's better not to have modified the phone, i'm talking about modifications that could alter the IMEI. Until know that only modification could be installing the CN ROM instead of the ROW ROM. And its a probability, it's an advice that the seller gave me.
So you are a 4pda forum member, I too. So could you gave them this recommendation for me please. I bought the phone from SUNSKY, the 4/64 GB version. It only took 1 labor week to be in my house. I'm from Mexico, so the distance were big, but this seller ships fast. I choose the dhl express option, by recommendation of the seller.
Greetings KiiKep!
I'm ready to do the flash and record the process. I want to confirm the order to upgrade the phone. First is install .117 stock > unblock bootloader > root device. Is that order correct?

It looks like the IMEI1 error is an issue related to the mobile registration with Lenovo, I THINK THE FIX IS REGISTERING YOUR PHONE HERE "https://support.lenovo.com/productregistration"
Maybe you after that you have to wait to lenovo databases get updated, I don't really know

You'll laugh, but the Russian technical support of Lenovo all pretend that such a phone does not exist. And the serial number is not in the database! And in Russian forum about this phone is not in the database! And my question is about the unlock I was threatened by the ban...
But it was something else. :laugh: I bought a phone as a gift to my wife. To give the right did not, at first, decided to unlock. NOT INSERTED SIM CARD!!! Last put them, and this morning it was just as necessary: request received, the unlock code sent.
Thank you very much for your participation!
Hello KiiKerp
I have installed QPST tools, by the way, where do you downloaded the 118 st? I haven't find it yet, only appears 117 st in all my searchs in google. By the way. Could i backup nandroid and modem in QPST tools without root? Or i need to root my phone while being in my current firmware (5.0.066 st). I am asking, because i have read in 4pda forums that some guys lost their IMEI1 in the process of installing TWRP. So I am thinking if i could backup my image or at least the nandroid and modem (all the QCN) before doing any modifications.
Are you sure is 118 s? I think maybe is 188 st. By the way, i have see in cn forums that there is a new stable room. Do you have install 117st and 118 st without any issues like lost your IMEI, bluethoot fails , etc...? Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
I got the Huawei Ascend G525 as a gift from brother in law living in china, and now I am in a bind that it does not have the google play, i installed it using the apk file for google play but the whole UI is in Chinese settings , and the usual Chinese OS version issues for english user >_< , I managed to find and download German firmware (sorry forgot the link to post where it was) and tried to install it but the update failed. Further research led me to believe that i have to unlock its bootloader and I tried to use the method on huawei site (using adb toolkit) but for that i need bootloader unlock key and the site options to get key from huawei does not have G525 in list, so I am back to square one, Please let me know how i can unlock bootloader of Huawei G525 and if there is a new firmware I can use or something like flashing phone rom with Odin (I did flash my galaxy tab 2.0 with odin with new UK firmware)
The Android version is 4.1.2
and firmware file name, i download is Ascend_G525_firmwareú G525-U00,Android 4.1,Emotion_UI,G525-U00 V100R001C00B188,West_Europe
my mobile current firmware is G525-U00V100R001CHNC00B180

If you tell me the block name of recovery I will make backup for you
Until I´m not 100% sure which block it is I will not replace stock recovery against cwmr.

I don't know how to determine the block name my handset's recovery... how do I know that? Thanks...
my fear is, that we both have problems for flashing.
The unlock code for the bootloader you can get from huawei directly.
I tried this on my European version, but this will not be offered from Huwaei ( only chinese versions).
So I´m still not able to flash chinese Rom (b191) or any other Miui or Lewa Rom ,...
I also confirm the lack of bootloader unlock request in Huawei's website.
What did you do to get the bootloader unlock code? Did you send an e-mail? Where?
I also find myself in a dead end, because I try to get a backup of the current ROM in the phone, connect succesfully through adb (downloaded drivers from here ) however following instructions from here:I can not connect the device with "fastboot devices" (i get to Huawei Device devices in windows device manager with yellow exlamation mark and the phone has been booted in a pink background, i think this is the bootloader mode because I have done it with all three buttons, power, vol+, vol-). Do you think this is a locked bootloader problem?
Late reply and updates
Hi,
Sorry for not following post, (i think i accidently turned off the option to inform me of new replies via email)
I tried emailing to both the german support email and the chinese, chinese support email gave me no reply even though i mailed them 3 times, but german one did and said that my phone is from china so they can't provide any support,
I tried to talk to them on facebook and local Huawei support center, facebook, no help, though someone else was willing to him and thanks to him poiting to way how to install english super use i am able to see almost all system messages in english, and as for the local support, since its not launched here they said they can't do anything,
The problem at hand was that it was not launched any where else, so no english version firmware i could find,
I almost bricked phone when i played with the "sorry forgot name" sytem file where it said to include the contact mismatch to 10 so that i can see the contacts name in the messages (its from china so least match is 11) and thanks to my luck i was able to upgrade firmware to b191 from b180 on 3rd try and since then i am scary cat to do anything with phone,
and now i read that its being launched in UAE, so looking forward if they put new firmware download on english website, (hoping they dont wait for an update to put it on website and put the current stock one)
please update me if you can get your hands on new english firmware , ty

I send a short Email to [email protected] asking for the unlock code on saturday 7-12-2013.
Dear sir/madam,
I tried applying for a bootloader unlock code at unlock url which I cannot post because of XDA forum restricting me, but my device (Ascend G525) was not listed. I supply the data via this mail in the hope to get a bootloader unlock code via this way instead.

That's the good news, the bad news is that as far as connecting to my device I got as far as you got. As I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 64bit I added the usb rule needed for Huawei devices. It shows up when I execute "./adb devices". When I boot into hboot/fastboot mode by pressing the volume buttons and the on button I get the pink screen, but it does not show up when I run "./fastboot devices".
Anybody who knows how I can get fastboot to connect to a Huawei G525?
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------
My bad, I thought I was starting the device in fastboot mode, but the pink screen denotes the download mode. I looked up the instructions to start the device into fastboot mode at sigmakey[dot]com. The complete list of steps that I followed were
Remove battery for >= 10 seconds
replace the battery
hold volume down and power button
when the screen locks on the Huawei logo you're in fastboot mode
connect the device via USB
run:" fastboot devices" and see if it's listed
run: "fastboot oem unlock [unlockcode]"
HUAWEI ASCEND G525 bootlock?
Got my phone 6 days ago. Rooted it.
Third day I messed it up by deleting languages (stupid, but selected them with a cleaner & removal tool).
I formatted a micro sd card, downloaded original firmware, started up in the installation mode but while busy unpacking, "installation failed".
Is it because of a bootlock? or is it something else.
Is there an boot unlocker for download for the G525? The phone doesn't start up, so I can only work out of the boot menu or sd card.
All tips are welcome.
try again

Where did you buy your phone from? Mine is from china , the bootunlocker is required to install custom rom (what i came to conclusion, from forums etc, corrsct me if it isn't the case), or rom other than compatible one, my has CHN in its firmware name and the firmware from chinese sites can only be used to update chinese firmware, i wanted to install the german firware for google play(now i achv through apk) and msg and phone number string match(Still found no soluton for it).
Now coming to your issue, i accidently deleted a system file too and phone won't start, so i downloaded firmware , copied the update folder as instructed in the pdf with it, but installation failed, being desperate, i tried again and again , and it would fail some point during extraction, but then on 6th or 7th attempt the file went threw, so either take your phone to support center best solution i would say, or try installing it a few times, try using a different sd card with better speed, but sorry cannot give a conclusive solution. ( Haven't messed with phone again )

Now coming to your issue, i accidently deleted a system file too and phone won't start, so i downloaded firmware , copied the update folder as instructed in the pdf with it, but installation failed, being desperate, i tried again and again , and it would fail some point during extraction, but then on 6th or 7th attempt the file went threw, so either take your phone to support center best solution i would say, or try installing it a few times, try using a different sd card with better speed, but sorry cannot give a conclusive solution. ( Haven't messed with phone again )

Thanks!!!
I live - and bought mine - in Holland (the Netherlands).
I downloaded firmware too but when in download mode and with SD card in, the update stops ("Update failed").
How did your rom/firmware come trough? By updating from sd card or by downloading update directly from sd card?
Which firmware or rom did you download?
Ask Huawei support center
Hi,
First is there no support center for Huawei in your area ? In my case i got the mobile as gift from china and since this model G525 is not launched in my country, the support center refused on any support regarding firmware, so i went to chinese site http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/ and got the firmware from there, my previous firmware was B180 and then i updated it to B191 (currently available on china site).
Second where did you download the firmware from ? Because when i was trying to install the firmware from europe or us etc, (main reason the contacts least string match issue) , i could not find any firmware file on those sites, i went through all the sites, I even emailed german support , and they refused that they don't have any firmware, duh, because my mobile IMEI was not in their data base , (no ****), i do manage to find one posted by someone while going throw forums, but it failed to install, which lead me to believe i need bootunlock code
As for the update is concerned, I am not sure what are you asking about updating from SD card or downloading from SD card ? The only method Huawei G525 have is to download file to computer, extract it, put the update folder in the formatted sd card and then start the phone with volume keys so it start downloading file from sd card and then update firmware. Even the option from the settings to update firmware requires the same, just that , phone start itself in download mode and start the same process.
Like i said i don't have a specific answer why the update is failing, but most probably because the firmware you are trying to install does not support the current you have, I don't know why the hell they would put a restriction in update package to lock down it with previous firmware region. Since you might not know which firmware you previously had the new one might not support the old version, like B191 requires to have B182 or higher version, (wtf) mine came with B180, and there is no B182 or higher available for download, so it could be your phone has old firmware, not supported by current, so all i can say is better take it to customer service, and ask them for help,
and the method i mentioned is was just hit and trial, i was just desperate, so i kept phone pushing to update it.
Let me know if you find any better solution or how to install other firmwares

Hey Guys,
can somebody upload a full-zip from Honor FRD-AL10.
I damaged my micro-SD and lost all my backups.
Actually I am on FRD-AL10C00B135.
I know there is B136 available, but I don't get it offer.
Also I found out, other things are not working well.
I would like to do a full reset, which won't work via erecovery.
Thanks a lot for help!

Baidu is notorious for its download software for big files. If you have problems with that, you can install Firefox and a plugin called User Agent Switch, switch your Firefox user agent to IE3.0 and visit baidu again, then you can use download software, like IDM to download big files freely, without its b*s download manager...

Hi,
I am not a dev and my knowledge on flashing and rooting is only from reading posts. Can I ask for a little advice and maybe instructions? Is it possible the rom from link can help with my situation described below?
I bought honor 8 frd al10 from china. The sim doesn't initiate. I firstly loaded android wear from play store to pair with my Huawei Watch. A message popped up saying 'this phone was flashed with unsupported config for companion. you must reflash it as either signed/user or unsigned/userdebug'. I tried to get help from seller but that's no use and they referred me to xda. They say my rom is EU. In the settings, the build is FRD-C900B120. IMEI and MEID are showing as unknown. There is no Baseband version showing. I am not an expert but I know this ain't right. After watching some of the videos, I used ADB to get to fastboot. It says device unlocked. This is where i get stuck and don't know what else to do. I simply want this phone to work as it is intended to. Help, please.
Edit: I forgot to add that reset to factory settings does not work. goes to 13% and says failed.
Also, when I type in a code in dialler to get product ID to get bootloader unlock code from Huawei, nothing happens so I am stuck if the bootloader is not unlocked.
There is no OEM unlock option in the dev options.

It looks like your phone and your ROM are in some twisted status: they are not match.
If you really use AL10 from China, there is a method to fully restore your phone to original status (AL10 original ROM). But I have to remind you the risk first, backup all your contacts to PC/GoogleContacts/Exchange before you proceed.
If you are ready, go to this post below, follow the instructions on 2nd post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-rooted-twrp-modaco-rom-unable-t3462039
1. Download AL10 stock rom from my Mega link.
2. Extract necessary files using method above.
3. Follow the rest of instructions.
Now you fully go back to Stock AL10 phone as when it was sold in China and you can start to work from there.
If you don't like China stock ROM, what you can do is Debrand/Rebrand your phone which means, in simple, you change some parameters in your phone, to let your phone and ROM thinks it is from some other region, like EU/ME.
You can find details about Debrand/Rebrand method and video guide in following 2 posts:

Wow. First of all, thank you kindly. Looks like a load of work. I will try it and I really appreciate your help and your time.
The device is AL10 as per box/back of the device itself. There is nothing on this phone I would care to loose. Its like this straight out of the box. I don't mind what software I am using as long as I can make calls, use internet, pair my watch, download apps from play store (i understand this may be the issue with Chinese rom). I think what seller was intending to do is the debranding to make it EU.
If you don't mind, I will contact you (quote) if I encounter issues on the way.

Most HUAWEI's phones come with Google Play Services installed, what you need is Google Play Store, if I didn't remember it wrong.
From what I read, a proper debrand should never put your phone in a mess up status, but I haven't done that myself. If you can take time, maybe can study that SRK tool and debrand it yourself. Anyway, now you know you will have the final restore weapon.

I've tried and force update by putting update.app into dload on internal storage on phone. updating stopped after 3 % failed and asked to reboot.
I've tried reboot in bootloader and in adb typed 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' which i first extracted from update.app. I get: sending recovery OKAY, writing recovery FAILED <remote: command not allowed>

It feels like your phone is not properly unlocked or somehow relocked, maybe you should try to unlock your phone again.
Here is the post for your reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
You may have troubles in finding these in your phone according to your previous post, try the code below.
1. Your phone serial number (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
open dial pad and enter *#*#2846579#*#*, should be some options called "board basic info", and then "others" (I translate from Chinese website, maybe not accurate)

2. Your phone IMEI1 (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
*#06#, if you have dual sim, key in main IMEI/MEID

Thank you again.
The last is not possible as it returns nothing at all. I'll attempt Huawei live chat support on Monday in hope they can help with unlock code.
First two are printed on the box and the back of phone. There is also a sticker on the back of it with Chinese writing and some combination of letters and numbers. I doubt they are the product ID.

I also have a china version of a 128GB FRD AL10 its all working fine but i would like to go to a europe ROM if i can? the seller said Huawei told him if he flashed the device it would break and not work with an EU ROM? i cant set encryption and this is an issue for me as i need it for my work email to work. i also have quite a lot of Chinese text still on some areas, any help greatly appreciated
hi, you can install a European rom instead of the Chinese version in the FRD-AL10? Best regards
Hey, got the same question as albertazzi65 and cwpaters, can I install another ROM on the Al10? And will that enable another bands fot lte?

This thread is for the MediaPad M3 Lite 10 LTE - Tablet from Huawei.
In my case, I´m looking for a C-ROM and C-Recov (e.a. RR, Mokee, TWRP) for the
Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 LTE (BAH-L09) with Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.1
Since it´s quite new on the market it´s atm hard to find anything bout a C-ROM or even a C-recovery.
discoveries
advises
questions
tipps / tricks
productive discussions
solutions
are much appreciated.
Detailed device Informations:
Nobody knows any thread about this tablet??
Still searching for a root-solution.
So it's possible to read out the firmware with Infinity Box CM2 but haven't found a working "Non-dongle"-version (Loader).
Some days, there will be a root solution.
It just takes time and will be posted in here.

I much appreciate the offer but what could u do if u haven´t the device or do u own it ?
Since my CM2-Infinity-box doesn´t work (usually I work with Miracle Box but it´s not compatible ...well the Tablet has to be rooted to read the firmware..), and literally tried all rooting-apps and progs, this device is really stubborn!
I own this device, thats what i told you

Actually, just the stock-recovery is needed to finally start to compile it. Have u been able to extract the recovery or maybe the whole ROM ? ?

Well, to bad but I guessed so, since this device is atm not rootable. :/
I tried every single Flash-Box like MB, Infinity, Aladdin, Falcon etc pp.. any Rooting-App (APK & PC- based), almost a dozen flash-tools like ADT, AOS-flasher, Ultimate Backup-tool etc...and several command prompts via ADB&Fastboot.
Really Nothing helped to get a nandroid- or even a dumb ROM. From which I could extract the stock recovery.
Nevermind, I will try alil more with Holo- & Heliumbackup, which surely wont work but who knows, rite ??
I'm patient and as soon as I've found a solution I'll share it here immediately.
As any other user is welcome to do so, too.
I´ve managed to extract the stock-recovery via an OTA-update which came from Firmware Finder from Team MT.
U ´ll find the recovery on G-Drive. The "oldRECOVERY.img" is the extracted stock-recovery from the original BAH-L09C100B018 firmware!
So, since I´ve updated the Tablet, the only "RECOVERY.img"-named file is from the newest firmware which is L09C100B021!
If u wanna update to ...021, via the Firmware Finder-App, u need
The App

Be aside your tablet

Yup, unlocked the BL from day 1. It´s the same procedure for all HUAWEI devices.
Just go here, login or register, confirm the unlocking agreement and put all device infos into the blank fields.
U´ll immediatley get an unlock code, which u have to enter via fastboot command prompts (recommended):
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock-go 1234567890123456 <- (this number is an example, u´ll have to put ur code there instead)
fastboot reboot
From now on an unlocked bootloader message will appear every time u start ur device. Just press power shortly to boot then. (It´s also written in the text aswell)
P.S.
Before u try to unlock: Don´t forget to enable USB-debugging in the Engineertool (tap 7 times on "build" in the settings-menue) and "allow OEM unlocking".

Ok cheers, I looked on the emui site and was nothing under their tablet menu only phones on the unlock bootloader page, on Nexus you just enable usb-debugging and click the OEM unlock in settings and fastboot flashing unlock in terminal. Sony uses a custom tool and HTC via their website I had a few phones in the past and built roms etc this my first Huawei device apart from my Nexus 6p Huawei help build with Google. I take it this device no official forum atm only the Kirin version.
Ya, HUAWEI has a quite faire unlock policy.
Important: There's an unlock bug sometimes. Be sure to have the Original firmware on ur device. (No updated ROM)
Have fun.

Important: There's an unlock bug sometimes. Be sure to have the Original firmware on ur device. (No updated ROM)

It's on latest official that came with device, I take it there is no twrp or anything out for this device ATM?
Just check a view posts above. I've described how to get the newest FW.
So if the factory ROM-version is installed, unlock the BL and after then update ur ROM. Jfi.
BTW_
Atm there's no custom recovery available for the M3 Lite Versions. U have to compile it by urself or make a request on Hovatek.com

I'm not bothered about updating the firmware ATM more so custom recovery but will look into it after my holiday.
I have requested official forum for this device and looks to be accepted so hopefully get some development going for this device soon...
There seems to be no way to retrieve the unlock code for Wifi-only tablets from the official Huawei site, as it demands the IMEI which is obviously missing.
I have contacted Huawei support with the product ID and serial number of my M3 Lite 10. One day later I have received the unlock code. I think that having been polite has helped

Storage question
Hello,
First of all: sorry, if the question is 'noobish', but as a matter of fact I am noob as far as android is concerned
I just bought this tablet for my son (LTE version), and I was quite surprised to find out that I can't move the installed applications to SD card.
Are there any hints and tips on how to take advantage of the big SD card, so my son's game data would not have to be stored in the internal memory?
The only default option is to change the memory from internal to SD, after the tablet restarts. But I assume it uses then only the SD card, and I am looking for a solution I remember from Samsung phone, where I could choose certain apps to move from internal memory to SD.
Another question, just by the way, is following: when I install an apk file from the SD card, during the installation process every few seconds I get a pop-up saying the application is not responding (although the installation is in progress). Any way to disable those annoying pop-ups?
I'd appreciate any feedback
Hello guys, first of all english isnt my native language so if i have orthographic mistakes i am sorry.
WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS:
a)$19 in your credit or debit card to buy license on DC-unlocker
b)your phone have to be detected as come 1.0 mod or usb ser or even if you cant detect your device on PC USE TESTPOINTS to force detection (when your phone is detected as USB ser you will need to install those drivers http://www.mediafire.com/file/ob6ii95ybktzb5n/HUAWEI_USB_COM_1.0_driver.zip)
to install drivers go to USB ser on driver manager right click on it and select update driver> browse my computer for driver software> select the extracted file in desktop with the drivers (x64 or x86 depending on your OS)
c)Disassembly huawei mate 9 so you can see testpoints:

I have been reading a lot of posts about BRICKED MATE 9 before trying to update to OREO, FRP lock and PHONE LOCKED(locked bootloder) and no one is giving solutions, now after weeks of searching and trying i found a solution gathering information from a lot of posts and thanks to DC-Unlocker/HCU Clients/DC-Phoenix.($19.00 dollars for 72 hours)
ok now THE SOLUTION <3:
1) first of all you have to buy license for dc-unlocker here: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy
2) when you have bought the license download this : https://www.dc-unlocker.com/download/soft.php?file=7JPrdoVQ
3) when download finish create a new folder in desktop ''DClient'' and extract .zip in there
4) open .EXE file called dc-unlocker2client and when it opens click on ''access support area'' (not necessary to be logged in)
5) Now on suport area look for DC-unlocker softwares>DC-Phoenix>DC_Phoenix_v50.rar>click on it and then click download button
6) extract dc_phoenix_v50.rar in desktop and open the program, it will ask you for credentials (emailed to you after purchasing license for 72 hours(3 days)
7)click on ''Download Files'' button and when your explorer opens, search STOCK FIRMWARE the one that comes flashed the first time you turn on your phone(mha-l09 or mha-l29) even if you rebranded it, for example MHA-l09_C185 (the one i used) you have to download firmware .app and hw.app
8) download factory firmware from here
http://www.mediafire.com/file/de139..._China_Nonspecific_Android_7.0_EMUI_5.0.dgtks

Hi friend heres a picture of testpoints location:
i dont know what testpoints are the only thing i know is that when you make a ''Bridge'' with the cable on both testpoints the PC will detect your hardbricked mate 9, if your mate 9 isn't hardbricked and its detected by the computer its not necessary to use testpoints.
watch this, so you will understand what i mean with make a bridge between 1st and 2nd testpoint

Excellent, all you have to do is:
go to HCU client> Enable Manufacture mode(dial *#*#2846579#*#*)>Repair UMTS tab> Country option (you have to check it)> then type ''EU'' and click REPAIR
I hope you still have time in HCU client friend i will be looking if you need something before your 72 hours ends.

OK, now i got it. It seems that you are forcing the CPU info BOOTROM mode, which allows a direct USB-SERIAL upload of the XLOADER into CPU SRAM, which initializes the SDRAM and loads FASTBOOT info SDRAM. After that you just use FASTBOOT for flashing the stock firmware.

yes i think, but it didnt worked with fastboot for me, i used DC-phoenix, it seems like with DC-phoenix you cand do whatever you want even if your bootloader is blocked, (when your mate 9 is hardbricked you cant open fastboot, DC-phoenix install fastboot, recovery mode and update mode with the factory firmware i uploader)
DC-phoenix bypass the update verification.

This is true, but the most critical information you have provided is about shortening the testpins.
This is the same as shortening 'Pin 1-2' in this document
https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960/blob/master/README-technical.md
to flash the partition table,xloader and fastboot.

i dont know im just giving the way how i fixed my hardbricked mate 9 using testpoints i dont know what testpoints are the only thing i know is that it helped to fix my phone
I managed to brick one of my Mate 9s earlier today. It was a pain to get into (it's hard to get between the display and the case), but it's nice that there's still a way to recover.
That's what I get for trying to repair the seemingly dead cell modem. Hopefully it'll work when this all finishes.

Can you tell about your experience with the opened Mate 9 ?
I don't want to open mine without a good reason (happily running LineageOS 15 now).
Mate 9 does not have the serial console on UART5 or 6, the board_id is different,
but it is still interesting to knowif the hikey960 ramloader can start fastboot.
I'm not sure what loader was used, though my gut says it is the HiKey loader.
In any case, the biggest issue is getting the back separated from the rest of it. I've got an iFixit toolkit here which had enough to get into it (though I ended up using a 1mm flathead bit to remove the screws at the bottom since I didn't have a T2). It took me about 15 minutes to get the back off because it's pretty firmly attached and there aren't really any open spots around the edge to get tools into. The plastic opening tool and guitar picks included were helpful, though I also ended up making use of a hair clip to actually finish popping it up.
You do need to be careful taking the back off once you've got it separated, there is a flex cable attached to it with the flash, fingerprint reader, and power/volume controls.
From there, I disconnected the battery, shorted out the specified test points, and it showed up for downloading fastboot.

Also, if you do end up having to follow this method to restore, you'll probably want to do it on a disposable install of Windows. The Windows drivers specified in the OP are unsigned, and the DC Phoenix package gets flagged by Windows Defender as a trojan.
(Not to mention that you _must_ restore the serial numbers and IMEIs, as they get wiped out in the process. The phone will come back up with a serial number of 0123456789ABCDEF and a pair of 000000000000000 IMEI numbers.)
In the end, it does work, but going through this process on any system that you don't think of as disposable is possibly asking for trouble.
It works just perfect... Thanks you all... If any of you Guys need help Just write
i paid $5 dollars in a phone repair store to open my mate 9, but im in El Salvador i dont know in USA, i hope you get to open your phone guys and fix it succesfully

Hi,
I am a little new and don't really know about this subject but :
I purchased a new phone : a Gome K1.
This is not tablet but phone. This is a new brandt. This a MTK (MT6757).
For the story, it came to me with chinese ROM, all menus in chinese
I asked to the seller to give me a ROM with playstore and french. They done it.
I flashed their new ROM with a proprietary flash tool. Now I have a android 6 ROM with Playstore, french menus. Well !
But I'd like to know if there is a way to root it, and install a TWRP :
The ROM came with bootloader locked and no recovery. It is entirely blocked.
No way to unlock bootloader via the general way (fastboot oem unlock --> unknown command)
I read some articles that deal with spflashtool and porting TWRP, but I'm new to this and I don't think I will be able to make all these steps correctly to flash a TWRP ...
Does someone has an idea ?
Is my post on the good topic ?
Up, does someone have an idea of how to root it ?
Hello,i also have a Gome K1 phone and I am also interested at rooting it.
There is an ' OEM unlocking option' under the developers option in the settings, have you tried that yet?
If you managed to import twrp and rooted the phone can you pls send here the steps, Thanks
Hello, happy to not be alone with this phone ...
Yes I tried everything, after enabling unknown source, OEM unlocking and USB Debugging developer options :
- All root apks
- all existing root kits using ADB
- Method with a linux distro to access Phone filesystem as root ( cannot see my phone ... )
Now I'm trying to use SP flashtool last version, but even that cannot correctly access the phone to Readback my recovery : there is BROM error, so I think that phone is not compatible with the phone (seen on a forum ...)
So if someone has an idea, he is welcome

When I contacted them, they send me a non rooted custom ROM which embed Google Apps and All language, AND another flash tool.
This flash tool seems to be based on SP flash tool. It seems to have restrictions (no readback ability ...).
I'm not able to backup anything with this tool or with SP flash tool.
Whis spflashtool, when clicking ReadBack, I power off my phone, and plug USB cable.
It begins the process but I immediatly encounter a BROM error :
ERROR: status_brom_cmd_send_da_fail (0xC0060003)
I read a post which indicate to try to plug usb cable when pressing Power plus Volume Up, but I don't think it can work, because I know that their tool works without that operation.
So now I'm still stuck here. Does someone have an idea ?
Hi
On the Russian forum 4pda, the topic GOME K1 we are also discussing and trying to solve the problem of a locked bootloader. So far no results. ROOT is also not yet possible to get.
I've also ported twrp for GOME K1, but there's no point in installing it until the bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise we will get a brick.
Hi
In Developer options there is a setting to unlock bootloader, it's the third toggle down.
Hope this helps.

Hello vsxby,
I was successful in flashing custom ROM that vendor uploaded for me.
So I thing I can flash just the recovery with their tool. I'm not an expert, so I'm just a little affraid to follow a guide to port a TRWP for Gome K1 and try to flash it, since it can brick the phone.
If you want, I can't send you a copy of their tool they sent to me (SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe) ...

Thank you, but I already have this tool. As I wrote before flashing TWRP we need to unlock the bootloader. While this is not impossible to do. But one of our users on 4pda is going to ask the manufacturer to unlock bootloader. In case of success, I will inform you.
If you want to experiment and flash TWRP with a locked bootloader, I can give you the TWRP I made, but I warn you, it's not safe.
Bro,Can you upload the firmware and tools to google drive or something like? It will be very helpful for dealing with this mediatek replica phone(aus6757_66_m),i got some possible factory test MTK AOSP,but the link expires ：（
