So I was trying to unlock the bootloader of my Huawei honor 6x, so I installed adb and tested it with "adb devices" and it found my phone. Next I entered "adb reboot bootloader" and the phone booted into the Fastboot & Rescue Mode. The next step was to enter "fastboot oem unlock [unlockcode]" but the cmd returned that remote access was denied. I tried it again with the same result. So I ran "adb devices" but my phone, although it was still connected, didn't show up.
So then I decided to install the Hisuite like the phone says but hisuit does not recognice the phone, but windwos makes a sound when I plug the USB in and out. I tried the restore system option but it says that my phone is not supported.
I tried rebooting it by holding down the power button, but nothing happens.
What do I do now? I have run out of ideas. How do I get my phone back?
Edit:
Managed to reboot the device by pressing all the buttons for 10 minutes. Don't know which combination worked but it did.
Thanks in advance.
While u are on fastboot and rescue mod ,long clicking the power button will reboot the device to system
*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:

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.

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
Can I return the bootstrapper lock?

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?

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

Weird, when it says your device has failed verification?
For me reboot works fine
Hello. I can't get my phone rooted in any way.
I want to Root so I can use TWRP app to flash TWRP recovery .img, and after that I can boot into TWRP recovery and flash new ROM. Correct????
What I've tried so far. OppoTools 1.6.5 = One key root gets hard stuck on Oppo logo at start-up and then I have to flash Coloros ROM again from recovery. Also KingRoot says app not installed. On windows version of KingRoot it gets to some percentage and then it Fails.
I have downloaded "unlocked bootloader" Coloros from this forum that was mentioned before ( Dropbox link )
I have also tried two different ColorOs versions.
I have installed 15sec ADB installer.
I plug my phone into PC and run CMD.
I type adb devices into command prompt and it detects my R7 plus.
then I try to command " adb reboot bootloader "
Phone restarts normally and doesnt go to bootloader. Tell me if im stupid, but isn't Bootloader different than Recovery? Because I can get to recovery command "adb reboot recovery"
I tried some weird button combination Vol+ Vol- + Power and phone semibricked for awhile and PC didnt even react USB driver correctly and almost waved the white flag on this case.
I've enabled USB-debuggin and OEM unlock from devices dev-options.
When I to type command "fastboot oem unlock" on command prompt is says Waiting for device. Nothing pops-up on device and nothing happens.
So now Im stuck on situation that my phone doesnt launch into bootloader where presumably "fastboot oem unlock" would work?
If you have flashed the version of Color OS that has bootloader enabled, you should simply need to go into the settings, enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking, then shutdown the phone before holding the power and volume+ buttons and waiting the ADB bootloader screen. After that, just plug it into the computer and follow the guide on flashing twrp with ADB.
Is there any successful way to relock bootloader, i wanna unlock the bootloader only if i can relock, because i need to sell it later. It's an EU device, i think as it's belongs to Pakistan.
Incase you did not get an answer, yes!
So in order to lock BL, you just have to repeat the same steps as unlocking but a little differently.
I'm new here so cant put links here, but i'll try to make it simple
steps:
1. Download the unlock tool again to apply to exit the in-depth test.
2. Click “Apply to exit in-depth test”. Your phone will reboot automatically, and you will enter the Fastboot mode.
3.In the Fastboot mode, go to the minimal adb and fastboot folder and use the engineering command below on your PC to re-lock the bootloader.
– Enter the command: adb reboot bootloader
– Press “Enter” on your keyboard
– Enter the command: fastboot flashing lock
– Press “Enter” on your keyboard
4.Press the Volume Up button to select the “Lock bootloader” option
5.Then enter command “fastboot reboot”. The phone will reboot and exit the in-depth test mode. All user data on the phone will be erased – I recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying in in-depth app.
(Also please take backups of boot, recovery and all the essential files via twrp [or whatever recovery software you'd be using] )
Good luck :good:
Unroot + lock bootloader

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
I need to bring back my RealMe 5 Pro to original settings it was when I bought it.
I unlocked its bootloader + I rooted it.
Now I want to revert it all back.
How can I do that safely?
Flashing stock firmware directly on it?

if you have used magisk then you can click on unstill in the app then complete uninstall, then the device will get unrooted after that continue with the above steps in order to relock the bootloader

Hi,
I performed the same steps mentioned, but phone went in boot loop, my fastboot mode is inaccessible and i cannot even boot.
PS. I had the latest C.15 update, realme UI recovery and unlocked bootloader. Can you show me some way to get out of this?
You can now do it online with Google on PC/Mac. https://flash.android.com/welcome
