I was trying the swiping pattern lock today and somehow the pattern i recorded earlier was not recognise by my phone. After a few attempts my phone lock itself up and only ask to sign in to my google account. I entered my google details and even that was also denied by my phone. So far i have tried rebooting, factory reset, pull the batt out and all of em still do not unlock my phone, it still ask me to log in to my google account. pls help me!
did happen to me once on a xperia x10, simply flash your firmware, and it should do the trick. thats what I did.
I get asked a lot how I rooted my Huawei Honor Note 8 so I thought I'd do a basic how to from memory on how I did it. It's relatively easy to do.
You'll need your phone's bootloader unlocked.
The files from Huawei's forums http://club.huawei.com/thread-10828573-1-1.html or https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwyaxIga7s0qc0ZKRGtsdndwV3M/view?usp=sharing
The app is in chinese but has some english on the buttons.
To unlock bootloader:
Got bootloader unlock code with the app on the playstore "DC Huawei Bootloader Codes" (took about 8 hours to get)
Enable USB debugging on the phone & connect it to the computer.
Unlock the bootloader with the program downloaded. Use the first button on the first tab labeled bootloader. Put in unlock code in the pop up box & click ok.
To root:
Enable USB debugging on the phone & connect it to the computer.
Flash the recovery_twrp.img file with the program downloaded. Use the 2nd button on the first tab labeled recovery.
To change twrp into english, click on the 3rd down 2nd row button & then click on the globe button. The globe is really hard to hit! Keep trying till you get it Then select English.
Install SuperSU with TWRP
Should now be rooted!
Question. Is there anything I should do like backup my bootloader or something before starting this process?

Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the device; factory reset for sure, and I believe it also erases your internal storage (don't quote me on that though, not sure for this phone), but your OS will remain whatever stock version you had installed until you flash something else.

I did not backup anything.
Ok thanks.. I appreciate it
I have a question, or making a root and unlock the bootloader is associated with a full reset your data and settings that can be done root without losing data?
Nope

Hi guys
I unlocked my note 8 successfully . In startup screen show your devives is unlocked and can not be trusted every time i restar the phone is it normal?
Second thing i flashed twrp by clicking on recovery button then after restarted i clicked on 3rd button of second row to change to english but it didnt say click on english
How to enter twrp recovey i tried pressing power button and volume up nothing happened
Plz help
Yuppers.. not trusted cuz ya unlocked it.
Should be volume up & power. You can also do it with the app. The 2nd tab... recovery. Will boot it into recovery too.
You have to click the globe button on the far right to get to the language. It's a ***** to hit! BTW... TWRP has reverted back to chinese a few time now for some reason on mine. It's kind of annoying considering how hard it is to hit that one button.
Questions about the root process
1) why do you need the unlock code?
2) Where can I find SuperSU for honor note 8? Can someone please provide a link?
3) Has anyone succeeded rooting?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
Please Help!
Everything was find, I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, when I flashed SuperSU it bootloops!
Can someone please help.....
I'm not sure why it would be boot looping. I'd flash it again. Might even try a factory reset before flashing too. You're the first I've heard of with that problem. Make sure you're on version 22.

DC Huawei Bootloader Codes not working
please help
Hi,
I read of the possibility of the root of honor note 8 through oneclickroot, kingroot, etc.
It must first be unlocked bootloader or the software will to unlock?
For unlocking the bootloader you must use to force pay program dc-unlocker?
Thank you

in the app, there is another way to get it. choose not by imei.
write the developer of the app you did not get the code and you want a refund, and pay for the second method. this is how i did it.

Great! Many thanks for your quick reply! I contacted dc-unlocker support and thats what they replied..
Hello, this codes is from factory DB. Sorry, but there not all phones present in this db.
This happens frequently if phone has MEID .
But you can read code by cable, we support almost all huawei.
If reading by cable not acceptable we can do refund.
Im waiting for their next answers at my qustions, what exactly have i do..
I have to download their soft probably and make everything there..
I had no time to check their forum yet, im sure there will be instructions..
EDIT:
Oki so i used DC-unlocker software, received these codes and unlocked Bootloader successfully!
I have rooted both phones already!
I had an issues with ADB drivers on Win10 and on Win7 as well, could not find my devices in devices manager but i have solved it!
TWRP 3.02 with preinstalled SuperSU works fine on B027.. In one of my phones i had B029 so i had to downgrade to B027..
On B029 doesnt work flash command in cmd.. Stuck on "waiting for device"..
Hi Guys,
I think I have no lucky these days...
I was testing a new ROM and when a returned the backup with TWRP android asked me a patteren for unlock.
The patter I usauly use dont work.
I found a help that say to erase some files in /data/system but it doenst work...
I had a idea to block the cell with my google account and set a new PIN for unnlock... It doenst work
Now I have the cell blocked by google and its impossible to access the internal memory with TWRP...
I need help... I dont know what to do...
Please !!!!
Sounds like your only way back is to format/delete all your data and start from scratch. You can use fastboot to do this.
I think this is the way... but I never did this before...
Do you know a step by step to do this !?
If I understand rightly you have a Google locked phone. I have not tried this on the OP3T but if you are able to reach the boot up screen where Google asks you for the password/pattern lock, you can try inserting an OTG drive of any capacity into your device. The phone will ask for changing storage. After clicking 'OK' you will be taken to the storage section. Go to 'Apps' and from there to 'Setting'. If you are able to reach this far, do a complete reset from that 'Settings' section and you would be able to recover your phone. I repeat, I have not tried this on the OP3T but have successfully tried this on some other phones. Best of luck and hope you get back your toy.
Let me also add that you won't be able to recover a Google blocked phone by factory resetting from recovery. The only way to do this is to reset it from the settings section of the OS itself after you have booted up.

Hello,
I've bought a Mi 5 to my son and he changed the lock screen pin code and subsequently fogot it. Now, without being able to get passed screen lock login, without a recovery, how do I factory reset the phone?
I'm unsuccessful in unlocking the bootloader, the device (Mi 5) is not attached to the account. This attachment is done in the settings which I cannot access because I do not know the pin code.
I've found this article, but no response has been given yet : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/help/mi-5-dead-factory-reset-t3379029
How on earth do I reset the phone? Does anyone know how to do this?
Please please please help me out...
//Jan Stenvall
PS This is a cross post with this article, Ill update this post with whatever finding I get. http://en.miui.com/thread-1016219-1-1.html
Answering my own question:
Warning, this will erase everything on your phone, it's a factory reset.
Connect to your google account, use Find my phone, choose the device and continue logging in. Choose Consider erasing your device, then click Yes.
This will erase everything on the phone and will enable you to access the phone again after reinstalling.
Hey,
I was running Android P Beta, and had an OTA update today.
As it's been said on the beta topic, it apparently put me back on Oreo (the pattern lock is different on P).
But now I can't unlock the phone with the pattern at boot. When I put it the right pattern, it gives me a black screen, and ask me to unlock again.
So nothing's coming up, no wifi, no backup etc.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this **** ?
Thanks guys.

Boot to Recovery mode. Wipe/factory reset and reboot system.

Thanks for your answer.
I know I could do that, but I'd like to be able to get some data back first (like whatsapp messages).
Whichi is why I'm trying to find a workaround, but so far it's not really a success.
have you tried android unlock my phone method?
Go to google and sign in. Then go to find/locate my device and then check the option unlock my phone. It will help surely.

i think that OTA update on Android P is in real "Android 0 8.1 June Update", as mentioned here, if this true that's the reason why you have problems
