I have Honor 8 FRD L02. It's been 3 year since I've been using it. I'm thinking of rooting it but don't how to do it. Please guide me to it .
Also, tell what is the best custom rom and kernels or any customisation that works best with it. I hope you guys will help me out as I don't know these stuffs and don't want to brick my device.
Thank you.
If you can unlock the bootloader, you can easily root your device using Magisk. There are abundant guides available here for that.
Custom ROMs, well since Oreo we have treble ROMs, Omni and Resurrection Remix. There are also a few for Nougat but they haven't been updated in ages.
For kernel, I maintain one for EMUI 8 only. You can check the ROMs and Kernel sub section for that.

Can you tell me how do I unlock it's bootloader? Is it worth it to root this device?

It is definitely worth it! With unlocking bootloader and rooting you can bring your device back to life!
Idk if you noticed but huawei closed their bootloader code site so there is no official way to unlock your device, BUT you can buy 4 credits for DC unlocker for arround 4 euro/5 usd and get the unlock code easily for cheap. I did this and worked 100% fine. You can find tons of tutorials for honor 8 unlocking or if you want a full step by step tutorial how to do it, dm me on telegram.

You're a power user. Can the Honor 9 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Honor 9. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
honor8 has healthy development, wish the same goes with honor9
Early days remember it's only few weeks old development will grow over time if you want instant custom ROMs buy a nexus

Just wait for honor to publish source code, then development will start the right way
After source released, then OpenKirin team can work on it.

At the moment custom ROM use stock kernel
I hope the development picks up soon.
Huawei should release source of EMUI 8 asap so we can receive O ROMs early.
It will be really good..will boost up
I'm the owner of a Honor 9 and I hope xda developers help us get the bootloader unlocked again I got this phone too late and I'm still stuck with the bootloader

Only with 3rd party, paid service: dcc unlocker. Search for guides in xda.
If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.
I think everyone can agree that huawei shenanigans has ruined the development for this phone, like locked bootloader, them changing the xloader stuff so it bricks your phone when you downgrade... I just hope for the best on honor 9 development community and other development for new huawei devices, and maybe someday we'll find an exploit to these devices or the 0.00001% chance that we get a mercy from huawei and they finally give us an update on the firmware where they finally remove the bootloader lock. I'll be waiting until that day.

Hello you! In this post I basically explain that I have had difficulty rooting my Oppo A71. King root which I've used very succesfully and rapidly on others eg samsung failed repeatedly on the A71. Android recovery doesn't yet support this model (I'm assuming it'sa similar case for KR). iRoot was more like 'ican'troot'. I'm rather stuck. I've visited multiple websites which haven't exactly built my confidence enough to use the methods they provide. Your help would be immensely appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I got my p20 at release so I have the unlocked bootloader
After a few months of getting along with EMUI, the newest version (EMUI9) is just pissing me off with bugs and terrible performance.
I tried installing TWRP but it doesent work (cant touch any of the UI in twrp.)
In the Forum i read it has to do with EMUI9, so my question is:
Is there any way to get TWRP to work and install roms or do i have to wait for an TWRP update?
Just downgrade to emui 8, you have to do it through PC app. Just search for updates and there should be line to downgrade.

I know this reply is a bit late but anyway,
Openkirin released a build of Resurrection Remix 7.0.1 for EMUI 9 devices this week, and it looks like the P20 is on the supported list. GApps and stock Huawei camera are preinstalled. It might be your best bet for compatibility.
I was going to try it out myself but I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet (but have the code) and to be honest EMUI 9 is good enough for me as a daily driver, I can't find a good enough reason to flash.
EDIT 21/04/19: Unlocked my bootloader and installed RR 7 and touchscreen doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Same thing with Omnirom. Going back to stock for now. Devs on the Telegram support said to wait for the next build.

Yeah, but following this forum I have noticed that many users encounter problems like not working fingerprint scanner or hotspot on treble based ROMs.
Or maybe you can point on on some Android Oreo ROM working properly on P20? (Want Oreo because of Xposed, not sure if it is already ported to Pie)
Apearently software-wise Huawei is still as bad as it was 5 years ago (still remember and hate my Huawei G6), because when bought this phone (P20) hoped that at least it supports treble... sadly - just partially

Me too haha.
You could try it yourself if you really wanted to, it seems to be a hit or miss whether people have this bug or not. A dev told me a few other P10s have the problem while his own P10 works fine. I haven't seen many P20 users though.
As my fellow developers already must be knowing that Realme has stopped providing future OS updates leaving us on ColorOS 6 platform. They didn't even provide us RealmeOS.
I would be very greatful to you if provide a clean ROM such as Pixel Experience for this device as there are none in the market right now. Please do it as I can't afford another device till I graduate and find a job.

You won't get any ROM development, since realme did provide the source code and bootloader unlock method for creating the rom or rooting it. So don't expect any ROM development unless source code are released.
Query
So how come Realme 3 pro and 5 pro have got Pixel Experience Rom? Realme released the source code of those ROMs?

Yup, they released the source code and bootloader unlock method for the device, so they got the rom. You can ask in customer service for bootloader unlock, but they don't provide any necessary information. I don't hope any rom development for the device until bootloader unlock is available.

I don't think twrp will let you install oppo A5 rom in realme 2 as both Device are different. It would give you error 7 or something. If it you are able to flash also you are going to encounter so many bugs, like camera, device crash, random reboots. If you are still willing to flash the PE, take a backup of stock ROM And go for a try. But be sure not to brick your device.
Hi,
I want to get my bootloader unlocked for snapdragon version but I there are not many roms available.
I am looking for Lineage OS or Miuirom or pixel rom.
Any idea when we can get them.
Thanks

Snapdragon can't be rooted past bootloader 2. As far as roms go, there are only stock roms, but somewhere on the forum its mentioned about GSI roms, but VOLTE is broken because its always been a samsung issue and not much work being done. I'm sure there are a few people out there working on personal builds, but nothing released to the public that I've seen. (Aside from Exynos)
