This is my first walkthrough so I will do my best to do this properly. The Honor Note 8 does not have a forum yet, and this is the third thread for this phone. Hopefully we can get a forum up soon.
PLEASE NOTE THAT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND POSSIBLY VOID YOUR WARRENTY!!!
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK.
Unlock Bootloader
Follow the steps here to begin the Bootloader Unlock process:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
1. a) Install the application
1. b) Follow the steps on the above page to put phone into "Manufacture Mode"
1. c) Under "Select Manufacturer", choose "Huawei Phones" and under "Select Model", choose the model of your phone
1. d) Click on "Buy Credits". You should end up being emailed a username and password, return to the Unlocker Client, and input those two
1. e) The Unlocker Client should return the bootloader unlock code
2. a) Enable Developer Options by clicking on the build number multiple times
2. b) Turn on USB Debugging
3. Prepare TWRP custom recovery before preceeding further. You can get it from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xzs81XsmURVTRnUDJHdl9CQlE
3. Prepare and install ADB and Fastboot tools. I used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
4. Go into the folder with your recovery and open a CMD (if you used system-wide ADB as linked above, otherwise place recovery in your ADB folder)
5. Put the phone into Bootloader mode with:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. This will take you to the bootloader mode (white screen with some small text)
6. Now type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock <UNLOCK_CODE>
where
Code:
<UNLOCK_CODE>
is the bootloader code that the Unlocker Client gave you
Loading TWRP Custom Recovery
7. Your phone may reboot when the process is complete. We want to go back into Bootloader mode, so follow Step 5 again to go back to bootloader mode
8. Now type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <NAME_OF_YOUR_RECOVERY.img>
The recovery will flash over to your device. We want to reboot into the recovery mode.
9. Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
but just before you hit ENTER on that command, start holding VOLup and VOLdown at the same time (as explained below)
This phone has two recoveries on it, which is great since it makes it really hard to brick. In order to access custom recovery, you need to hold down both VOL buttons during boot process (from the very beginning) in order to access the custom recovery.
Once you have entered TWRP, you will most likely notice that it is in CHINESE. If you don't read chinese, follow the steps below to change to English UI in TWRP:
Change to English UI in TWRP
10. TWRP has two columns of 4 buttons, 8 buttons total. I have labeled the buttons as per their position as below:
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
11. Click button 6 to go to the Settings, then click on the "Globe" icon, then switch to english and click the button in the bottom right corner.
BACKUP!!
12. I highly recommend you now do a TWRP backup and place the backup on an External SD card (not the internal memory). This will save your ass if you mess anything up or it doesn't work for you. Do a full backup (select ALL of the options).
Installing Xposed
Grab the Installer APK here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
and the Framework zip here: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/
Put both files onto your SD card.
13. Boot into your rom, install the APK file (you may need to enable "unknown sources")
14. Then boot back into TWRP. Do this by restarting the phone, and just as the screen goes black, hold down both VOL buttons until you see text on the screen.
15. Install the framework, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot the phone
ROMs
There are several roms, all of which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/huawei-honor-note-8-roms-t3487575
I will try to update this post with instructions on how to install them once I have the process down properly.
Thanks to:
@benmeroff for his posting of all of those ROMs and his work on the original thread.

Hopefully either a camera port or a camera hack can come about from developing. Anybody know about possible camera hack thats the only thing (IMO) this phone needs

Thank you man, worked like a charm! I got the bootloader code... but since it's gonna wipe everything if I unlock it, I'm gonna wait until the next weekend most probably, too busy these days.

Hi guys,
i was able to unlock the bootloader but i can't flash the recovery and every time i try it display "remote: command not allowed".

Good morning.
I hope for Christmas to be a holder of Honor Note 8.
To unlock the bootloader you need to pay 4 euro through dc-unlocker.com program?
Thank you

TWRP - changing language
OP - thank you for this thread. Was able to follow the steps and get most of the things accomplished.
One thing that i am having trouble with is - changing the TWRP language from Chinese to English. In button #6, the globe icon is not even clickable. All others are, but that one is not. Any ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: I got it to work. It seems some icons in the corners of the screen can be a little hard or slow to respond... if you (a future reader) are having the same issue - try kind of mini swiping in circles over that icon and it will eventually respond.

Hi,
I requested the unlock code on the Huawei site but I get this error:
The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.
How can I do?
Some might apply to me

unlock the bootloader (Unofficial free way)

While searching for a way to unlock the bootloader i found a way
​Hello. Instructions for unlocking the bootloader.
-------------- Responsibility for your bricks I do not take over. Everyone does at their own peril and risk .--------------
Downloa ( Google)
1) Install the driver for the phone (in the header);
2) Install a special driver, find it in the Unlock_BootLoader \ Driver for Winwos \ DriverSetup.exe folder;
3) It is necessary to unwind the phone, remove the cover;
4) It is necessary to disconnect the battery;
5) It is necessary to close the contacts (Photo);
6) Connect the phone to the PC;
7) Open the program Unlock_BootLoader.exe, there is a menu at the top, the item: "Operations> Settings> You need to select the Unlock_BootLoader.xml file"
8) After selecting the Unlock_BootLoader.xml file, click "Operations" again and click Start. Or press the green play button.
9) Done. Now you have TWRP_Mod installed in the Recovery section.
Additionally
The method works both with a locked bootloader and an unlocked bootloader. The only difference is that how to use this program at the moment when the bootloader is unlocked, then you do not need to disassemble the phone and put it into TEST POINT mode.
If the bootloader loader, then the program flashes TWRP_Mod.img to the Recovery section. After flashing, the phone will automatically reboot and the bootloader will remain locked. But TWRP_Mod.img will work. If you need a full unlocking of the bootloader, then you need to prepare several other files. There was no time for that. I made the method only for flashing custom recovery.
In the video, my bootloader is unlocked. I had a chance to block the bootloader and delete all data, so I made a video with the unlocked bootloader.
With a locked bootloader, exactly the same thing, the only difference is that you will need to switch the phone to TEST POINT mode​Youtube video
All thanks Goes for SergeySan27 for his work...
this made for 4pda and i am just sharing his work

This is 100% not working. Pls dont waste your effort

Wow

Specific what version of Pie do you have on Honor Play?

can u also tell if we have a method by which we can unlock our bootloader. If its possible using this technique then we can have development for our device. More people will be available to use the roms.

Excuse me, sir. Where is the TEST POINT?

Test Point or EDL Mode requires physically opening the phone

I know lot of people already know but for everyone else's clarification Test Point or EDL Mode requires physically opening the phone and shorting 2 electric points together something like the following video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8salW6m-z8
I do not know exactly where those 2 point are on honor play.
But one good thing is opening honor play is comparatively easy as it does not require heating the screen with some heatgun. There are 2 special screws and then the screen is clasped.

the IDT started to flash the image and I got the successful PASS green message in the end.
The bootloader is temporary unlocked in testpoint mode
however, even if I have kept the VOL UP button pressed and removed the usb cable to reboot directly in the recovery mode (to prevent the overwrite with the default eRecovery) it still brings me to the default eRecovery menu.
I have even tried to flash TWRP manually in fastboot (using the tespoint mode to temporary unlock the bootloader) and I got the img file sent and written.
However, it still brings me to the default eRecovery.
Do I do something wrong or miss something? becase flashing of any image is successful but I can't get anything changed on the phone (just getting OKAY or success messages on the pc)

For everyone here trying by opening up the phone, make sure you DON'T touch any other 2 points or your motherboard will short-circuit and become unusable.

Did you try going to recovery through command line?
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
(or reboot-recovery)
Sent from my COR-L29 using Tapatalk

Why would people have to take this tedious route to unlock their Huawei or Honor smartphones? Huawei as a company should listen and release bootloader to those who wish to unlock their system. They can put in place an agreement to be accepted by those who want to unlock their phones and expected no warranty after doing so. This is very simple to do.

Can someone confirm test point connectors on the play please?
Doesn't look too difficult imho.

There are some "globalised" china roms which are doing a decent job (with notifications sound fixed, chinese bloatware removed and google services installed), I recommend the one made by Francko76.
Also you can try all the treble stuff out there. I only tried two GSIs so far and I went back to Francko´s build.
Anyway I´m like you looking forward z6 pro dedicated custom roms.

Restore stock bootloader?
Hello, I recently went through the whole process of unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP recovery and flashing ROM, and I am at version 11.0.350 ST ROW currently.
The ROM works fine, but now at every boot I am greeted by the "The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed. <snip> Press power button to pause boot/continue" notice.
According to google, it's apparently a result of the bootloader unlocking process.
I tried to lock the bootloader again using "fastboot flashing lock", but then the phone stopped booting normally. It got stuck at the boot logo (which I believe means bricked?).
It wouldn't work until I unlocked bootloader and reflash the ROM.
So what I want to ask is, is it possible at this time to restore the bootloader to stock to avoid that "boot loader unlocked" notice and possibly become eligible for warranty again?

How To Guide [GUIDE] [RUI3] Unlock bootloader on RealmeUI 3 with deep testing.

It is now possible to unlock bootloader using the in-depth deep testing app, however it will only work on Thailand firmware, so we are going to flash the Thailand firmware and use the in-depth app on it.

Libusb port filter: https://sourceforge.net/projects/li...ibusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0.exe/download
Flashing Thailand firmware:​We are going to flash this in SP flash tool, first, let's setup MTK authorization bypass (if you have already setup python and drivers then skip this)
Install python from https://www.python.org/downloads/ and make sure it's configured
Go to the Driver folder, right click cdc.acm.inf and install it.

}
Install libusb port filter, afterwards click Next and hold volume up and down button, then choose MediaTek USB Port.
Now click install, next install UsbDK from here: https://github.com/daynix/UsbDk/releases/
Once you have done that, open a CMD/Powershell in the directory of MTKClient, write pip3 install -r requirements.txt and python mtk payload, hold the volume up and down button and plug the device in
If everything went well, you should be seeing this:
Now open SP Flash tool, go to Options > Option
Now go to Connection and select UART, set the baud rate to 921600
Now, open the scatter file (MT6785_Android_scatter.txt) from the directory of the firmware, it should load the firmware
Unselect opporeserve2 and click the Download button, it should start flashing
Once it is done flashing, you should see this:
Don't forget to reboot the device into recovery mode (volume down + power) and format data.
Updating to RealmeUI 3:​Since it is not possible to use the deep testing app on RealmeUI 2, you must update to RealmeUI 3, simply update it from the update app in settings, if you do not get the update, we can't do anything about it.
No need, replaced firmware link with RealmeUI 3 Thailand firmware, just flash that and use the in-depth app in the guide!
Using the deep testing app and unlocking the bootloader:​Download and install the deep testing app, tap "Apply Now" and accept the agreement, you should be seeing this now:
Wait 3 to 5 minutes, close the app and reopen again, tap "Query verification status" and you should see this:
This means your device now has unlocked fastboot access, tap "Start deep testing" and the device will reboot to fastboot mode
If you see this, the device is now in fastboot mode, to unlock the bootloader plug the device into a PC and write fastboot flashing unlock in Fastboot/ADB directory, you should see this:
Press the volume up button, the bootloader is now unlocked, congratulations!
NOTE: you can return to any EEA/Indian firmware you were on before and still have the bootloader unlocked.

I tried this method on my primary Realme 8 device (Bangladeshi varaint) and it did worked.

Nice tutorial!

Also a pro tip for recovery mode can't be accessed after changing firmware and device keep rebooting after every 5 mins while stuck in realme bootanimation
download latest platform tools from google's official developer website, go to fastboot mode, enter command "fastboot reboot recovery"
you will be in recovery mode
then format data
your device will boot to OS after that

Does it work on realme UI 3.0 C.09 (bootloader locked)?

It shouldn't matter which firmware you are on right now, as for updating to TH RUI3 firmware it dosen't matter which C.0x it is as long as it's RealmeUI 3.

No. It's not working on RUI3 c.09 version. I've tried on my Bangladeshi 8/128 GB variant. And it got bricked after flashing the Thailand firmware.

I think you misunderstood it. I was asking that can I flash it over my Indian C.09 firmware?

Was the Thailand firmware you attached in the post official??
Cause I got an error while flashing it. It says the firmware is not official.

Stuck on recovery mode text? Then you should erase userdata, metadata and md_udc using mtkclient
And yes, mine is also Bangladeshi 8/128 varaint.

I don't know why after unlocking, entering recovery mode gets difficult. I wish that can be accessed while pressing buttons.
It's like recovery combo turns into fastboot combo
Also Oppo/Realme stock recovery has a problem when magisk is installed. It will bootloop forever when reboot to recovery from magisk and it's pretty hard to get into fastboot mode that moment.
The real fix for that problem is restore stock boot and dm-verity image

Looks like your file got somehow corrupted. You can try downloading ofp file, manually decrypting it and merging multiple super.img using simg2img (super 2 must be Thailand) and setting super download is true from scatter file.

all set! I went to fastboot mode using deeptest tool. But i don't know what to do after that to unlock the bootloder device. Kindly help me!

Question Reflashing stock ROM on bootlooping device

Hi.
Bought this phone 4 months ago and it went into a boot loop, where it would only show the battery empty icon. Yesterday, I tried turning it on again and noticed, that it's stuck at the Redmi - Powered by Android" screen. From this screen, I can enter fastboot. See this video:
VID_20230417_194410.mp4
drive.google.com
I've read that there are a couple of options for reflashing this device:
- aks someone with the authorized Xiaomi account to reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)
- put the device somehow into ETL mode and reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)
I've tried contacting someone, who for #1, but they aren't willing to help, for some reason (I'm wiling to pay). For #2, I'd have to open up the device, which I'd like to avoid doing.
Would anybody know of any other options for fixing this?
Thank you in advance!

okay, which version of MIUI are you running?
first get the fastboot rom of the version your phone supports , i recommend the global version fastboot rom , because it works and its stable and u get your updates
download this fastboot rom first
Temporary file download page
miuirom.org
and I will give you the MI flash tool working version at like 6 hours after, Ill post the remaining steps after you download this , btw, you will get a .tgz file , when u download the Rom, thats the one you need

If you can boot into fastboot, then it is already enough.
Now, I suppose your bootloader is still locked
You need to download a MIUI ROM from "EEA", from any trusted website, and remember to download the "Fastboot" ROM to flash it (my favorite is mifirm.net, it downloads faster)
Install MiFlashPro - attached at the end of the thread
Open it up, and you will be greeted with this.
Click on the "Mi Flash" tab, as it is the only one we need.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
You will be greeted with this window now:
After you have done downloading your ROM, extract it to any place.
If MiFlash does not recognise the directory you have extracted in, move it to C:\. Not any external drive, your main one
Now click on the "select" button box, go to your ROM directory, and simply select its folder
Boot your device into fastboot (PWR + VOL-), click on "refresh" button box and your device serial number should appear on the first line.
Now simply click "flash" and let it do its job for 10 to 15 minutes. It will reboot automatically.
If you dont succeed, please read this thread:
Thread '[GUIDE] UNBRICK YOUR HARD-BRICKED MTK' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-unbrick-your-hard-bricked-mtk.4564029/
You will require BROM and to bypass and to flash via SP Tool.

You have either got confused, or being scammed
Newer MTK devices do not require the opening of the device. I suppose you have been probably confused with a Qualcomm Snapdragon based service, that does require the opening, so you can access EDL mode and flash your phone into life, or someone just put up the Redmi Note 10 5G and is a scam, also, on MTK, you do not need to pay for a authorized Mi account. On MTK, it is easily bypassable due to BROM

Thank you both.
I put ran MiFlashPro, pointed it towards the downloaded eea stock rom file and attempted to flash it, but got this error message:
So I presume this is due to locked bootloader? I'll try to follow the second link.

I actually managed to enter recovery mode and do a factory reset. Currently setting it up and plan on updating it.

Good to hear you got sorted. I basically bricked my phone last week (only 3 weeks old ) after trying to switch from MIUI 13 Global to EEA. I managed to get it into BROM mode and used MTK Auth Bypass which allowed me to use Chimera Tools to flash the phone again as nothing else seems to work with a locked bootloader. Currently running MIUI 14 with root and magisk optimisations (blur/high end tweaks, MIUI monet etc) and loving it! Just need a way to bypass Play Integrity API for Google Wallet
