[GUIDE][H60-12] Bootloader unlock & change stock roms 5.1.1 <> 4.4.2

!!! I used all methods yesterday (08th october 2015) and they worked.!!!
Device: Huawei H60-L12
Bootloader: Stock&locked
Rooted: No
Initial ROM version: 5.10.1 Developer (EMUI3.1)
I dont guarantee for other Honor 6 versions than L12 , but I supposed that:
a. changing ROMs could works on L02 using L02 roms
b. bootloader unlock could works on all rooted Honor 6.
Used (FULL VERSIONS) ROMs :

It is necessary to have a rooted phone. If you have it skip to step 4.
It is up to you how you root the phone, but I used iRoot.
1. At this moment the phone should be on Android 4.4.2. ( to root a phone with locked bootloader).
2. Download @ Install iRoot software on PC .
View attachment iRoot_1.8.5.15285_cid1005_7337ba1e.zip
3. Connect the phone to PC and root it with iRoot.
4. After root, copy & install honorTuner.apk on the phone.
View attachment honorTuner.zip
5. Start honorTuner application, accept it superuser access
6. Navigate to Hardware info menu.
7. Your bootloader code is at WVLOCK .
View attachment 3501098
8. Use this code & HONOR_6_and_6Plus_Multi-Tool, to unlock the bootloader.
Post your results.

Is there any option to root the 5.1.1 stable?

As I know and I tried, you have to have bootloader unlocked to root.

DO Not USE iROOT!
1. Downloadpage is on google blacklist
2. iroot...exe got 17/54 by virustotal.com
I would love to get root without unlocking bootloader, but it looks not to be this way !!!
(I did not run this ****, so it "could" work but you dont know what its doing)

Use a good Antivirus software. I use Kaspersky Internet Security. Talking about the home page, except the Google warning ( Android is a Google product and must warn a software when this try to access android protection) , Kaspersky didn't get warning during download, instalation or running the iroot. It is up to you where you download it from. And most important thing, after you get the code you will put 5.5.1. ROM and loose the root made by iroot and root again with other method. The goal is to get the code not to keep the iroot root.
L.E. I attached the setup file.

not getting better with this:

I did trust virustotal on all my programs and never had a problem with any android tool yet. So its just my opinion and no one has to share it.

awasome , wow , its working smoothly from 5.1 to 4.4.2 OR 4.4.2 to 5.1.1 . thank u very much sir.

Unlock the bootloader, then use the multitool to sideload supersu. I used to use kingroot, but it doesnt work on lollipop.

Please add the following links or rom links in the first topic post. It is for downgrading from 5.1.1 to 4.4.2 on H60-L04 international version.
Tested and working!
- First get B500 rom (downgrade package) : http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=47725&version=101112&siteCode=my
- Then get B396: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=39923&version=71550&siteCode=my
Source: http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/07/downgrade-honor-6-b507-lollipop-to-b380-kitkat-firmware/
I had my device rooted and unlocked when i did this downgrade but i don't think it's needed to be.

@westlandmb
The main ideea of this topic is to unlock the bootloader of L12, not to downgrade all H60. Thanks for understanding.

I tryed a lot of times but every times during installation the phone stop the process (look in emui's site to find the correct rom...ecc..ecc.)
I have H60-L12 whit emui 3.1 developer rom 5.16.10, i would like to change in to stable rom B532.
I do:
I write on sd H60-L02-L12_EMUI3.1开发版回退包 DOWNGRADE
Go to UPDATE > LOCAL UPDATE > GO = ok it work
Go to sdcard, take of H60-L02-L12_EMUI3.1开发版回退包 DOWNGRADE and paste stable rom(B532)
Go to UPDATE > LOCAL UPDATE > GO = it stop around 10%.
Anybody can help me? Thanks

Download again the B532 full rom. Could be corupt file.
Try to format the microSD card.
If it doesnt work put 5.10.1 developer and after that use intermediate rom and B532.

Ok! I just re-download the full rom this time from emui's site, and everything went fine! thanks!
B532 is much better than developer's rom!

I have a strange problem. In the Updater menu I do not have any option to select Local Update. Am I missing something or ??

Hi, my phone is:
Device: Huawei H60-L12
Bootloader: Stock&locked
Rooted: No
Initial ROM version: 4.4.2 (EMUI3.0) B317
no way to have it rooted by iroot attached to your post
as said in step 3.
any suggestion?
thanks.

You can try another computer, or a newer version of iroot. But it should work because I did it. Also, you can try other pc software to root the phone. From October till now they should be able to root this phone. I have to mention that when I root my phone, it had no application installed on it. Only stock ROM. I think you do something wrong during the root process. Pay attention to the iroot and phone screen messages.

I have just bought the fire 7, update and register if I wish to root right now?

Hi, first of all, thanks for accepting to me in the community I am a new user, now.
I have just bought a fire 7, and now I want to root so soon so possible...
Come with the version 5.1.3, my question (very important question right now) is if I have to update and register the device or not, I have not set up the device with wifi cause I think it would automatically upgrade to a higher version....
and the reason to not doing, is reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695 have to downgroad the 5.1.3 to 5.1..2 and after this useing SuperTool.
Help with my first steps for not brick the device,
Thanks friends

If you upgrade your fire tp 5.3.2.0 you can then downgrade it to 5.3.1.0 which can be rooted.

Agree on 5.1.3->5.3.2 via OTA followed by 5.3.1 rollback (sideload); then root using the 'SuperTool', not Kingroot directly. 5.3.2 is the latest build at present (reference date of post); first OTA typically updates to most recent build.
Other thoughts:
- no benefit to 5.1.3->5.1.2 rollback; leaves you with a slightly older kernel
- be sure to keep WiFi off after rollbacks (except while rooting)
- no need to register device w/Amazon if custom rom is ultimate goal

Thanks guys, so I am going to upgrade 5.3.2 the last version
But I am looking for Use "adb sideload" to downgrade ,
where could find the link?
and the SuperTool link?
Thanks very much

to side load you will need the "update-kindle-global-37.5.5.2_user_552153420.bin" file then you power off the fire, then hold down both volume down and the power button in till you see a screen that looks says this "Amazon system recovery <3>"
Scroll down with the volume buttons to "apply update from ADB" use the power button to select it and sideload the file from earlier.

Reload (sideload) FireOS 5.3.1 via stock recovery menu. Refer to forum index, specifically forth post, for recovery details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/index-amazon-fire-2015-t3210485

this one firmware is? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087009066
I did root from 3.2.1.0, my device never uploaded the 3.2.2 so not did need downgroading, so the firware would help to me?
it is my first device I root (and brick too lol )
thanks

I think I find the firmware you said
fire-OS-5.3.1-update-kindle-global-37.5.5.2_user_552153420.bin
here it is http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Amazon Fire 5th gen/Firmware

Yes, correct file. Forum index (previously referenced) contained a direct link; you didn't have to go hunting.

Thanks again, I have to find out how flashing it to my device ... I saw supertool have a recovery tool, but for the early firmwares ... my english is not so good, I am newbie, and I do not want to make a false step that could break the device so I apreciate a lot you helping me..

Hello,
Searching and reading other threads, I thinks this is the way to unbrick my device, only I want to make sure http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/unbrick-restore-stock-2015-amazon-fire-t3250639
I think not having to install drivers again (supertool did when I rooted, it is ok?) and the only thing to do is change the extension firmware from bin to zip and place it to sd, finally run the Amazon Recovery following the steps i did read.
Although not sure if I have to install the Twrp thing at somewhere.
Thankssss

No, that won't work. Nor can you "install" TWRP. If you can not access the stock recovery menu the device is not recoverable.

I can access to menu recovery, if is this one below, yes I can

See below, 1st and 2nd posts. Includes video. Make sure you have the proper firmware; 3.2.1 is not relevant to this device. Should be 5.1.2, 5.3.1, etc. Must be identical or higher that version of FireOS previously on device. Attempting to go lower usually yields a brick.

Thank I just saw the video.
Although I'm a little afraid to have to take so many steps lol
If I installed drivers to computer, I did it when I ran supertool to do root, I can avoid this step now, can't I?

No - different drivers are used (or just try; of device won't connect you'll need to install/update drivers).

EMUI 9 root updates

I just looked up a few threads about rooting EMUI 9.
The one and only who kinda managed to do it is the developer of Magisk John Wu.
If you wanna stay updated about rooting EMUI 9 on Huawei P20pro, you should follow this guy:
EMUI9 root
still NO EMUI 9 kernel sources released

Rooting / Magisk is one thing. I think in addition to that we also need a working twrp or some recovery for Emui 9 to be able to flash stuff with relative ease. On top of that the OEM unlock option is greyed out which is problematical itself. So, this is all gonna be a bit complicated.

Well, there is a modded versions of TWRP Mate Rs Porsche with working decryption and for most people including me, oem-unlock is not greyed out when you have unlocked frp and unlocked bootloader.
I'm on the final of EMUI 9. So the last important thing would be a rooted EMUI 9 to get some important things working.

Unlocked frp = oem unlock enabled in dev options
Unlock bootloader and frp itself doesn't cause "enable oem unlock" being greyed out. It's not getting greyed out just by upgrading to pie either. Upgrade to pie and factory reset does!
Good to know about twrp working on p20 pro

Hello, i changed my system font by using huawei themes.
Now it's not possible anymore, to edit photos and use different fonts for editing.

his point is, even you got the question wrong,
no files from that list will root your emui 9 simply by flashing any of it,
you gonna need a copy of RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img pulled from update.app of latest emui 9.0 firmware,
copy it to device with latest canary magisk & magisk manager installed,
patching the .img using that canary manager, and you will get patched_boot.img stored in download folder in that device,
copy it to your pc and flash it to recovery_ramdisk partition using fastboot,
or if you really are that lazy, simply download the prepatched one here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rhl405-ALbYrtGHilrNUR5Fuq4yATvTH/view?usp=drivesdk
and flash it from fastboot to your recovery_ramdisk partition
boot by holding vol up button

Thanks for help

It will seem dumb for some of you but important to me and others (i Hope there are some lol)..... so just to be clear :
1- do we have to follow these steps AFTER installing emui 9 ? coming from emui 8.1 161 with evira kernel and using mods i wanna start 100% fresh because first time i installed emui 9 163 i came back a week later because of battery consuption that was way worse and real bad SOT so it's major to me to proceed the best way - i have to go first to twrp and wipe all, data+system+caches before flashing emui 9 ?
2- any reason not to use the easiest way ? why to prefer the complicated one : pulling the file from update.app and copy and etc....?
3- magisk modules will be usable ?
Thanks to those of you who will bring light or give me confident in re-installing pie.
And of course merry Christmas everyone

1. Steps is for rooting, if you wanna start fresh, you can consider wiping /data after update. So none of your previous mods data no cache will tag along to your EMUI 9
2. Reason is, the difference of firmware versioning betweem region. You told me you updated to .163. My prepatched ramdisk is from C636 .168, although most of the time it can work universally across region and version (just like how custom recovery work in a universal way), there's no telling what huawei actually did between version update. So its always best to use and patch your own file. Since it will give you confidence, its your own doing after all.
3. I use youtubevanced, LKT, systemless host, swap torpedo, busybox and detach magisk modules, all work just fine on EMUI 9. You only need to redownload and reinstall all the modules (if you didnt wipe data, like me), because installation from oreo version wont work straight away on EMUI 9.
for extra information, SafetyNet and MagiskHide all working as well. I can use my banking app just fine.
as for precaution info,
i suggest you to use the flashy tools to install EMUI 9 from PC instead of using HuRU,
i did the HuRU way, and ends up with a messed up software serial number and broken recovery partition, meaning i can't flash TWRP, stock recovery nor a patched recovery ramdisk to acquired root. It will all fall to an error screen, telling me no recovery image available inside the system, and ask me to update system again. Fortunately the phone still boot just fine to system.
scratched my heads for hours until i manage to resolved it by flashing Recovery META and Recovery Vendor image through fastboot. After that i can reflash stock recovery, and the patched one (after i confirm stock one work fine)

Thanks a lot for your answers.

OK. You're still on android 9. For some reason, some people have had success updating by skipping versions using the full zip firmware, whereas others have had to do each incremental update in order to get to the latest.
1st try downloading the full zip for the last A9 update 1910.64 and place it in root of internal storage. Reboot, when prompted click to update.
Are you rooted? If so and you want to keep root, don't click restart after update is complete. Instead, choose 'later' and go to magisk manager. Click to install magisk and select 'after ota', then reboot once finished. Ignore this though if you are not rooted.
From 1910.64, download the full zip of latest A10, which is currently 2007.27 (full zip of 2007.97 is not yet available). Repeat the process to install the zip as with .64
If this doesn't work, you'll need to update each small incremental update in order if release and keep going until you're up to date

Thank you for your fast answer. I will come back with the results.

If you are a heavy gamer, I'm not sure about latest build but many users prefer last android 9 version (.64) for gaming. Up to you.
If you go for latest A10, just download from above link and repeat process

Are you saying the phone doesn't boot to android at all, just keeps re booting correct? You need to boot into fastboot mode (from power off state, hold vol up and power buttons together until you reach a menu) then you need to flash raw firmware, preferably for the current rom/firmware that you are on.

No, the phone will boot, but while working, it suddenly freezes many times and restarts, especially when playing

If your bootloader is unlocked you could flash twrp /magisk and backup all apps + data etc. I use swift backup but you need to be rooted for app data, WiFi, etc etc.
But yeah, sounds like you might need to factory reset and start a fresh. If you wanted to downgrade to last A9 there's a downgrade zip on asus website but it will also wipe data

[GSI] [Android 13] Nord N10 GSI flasher. EU and Global.

First of all I'm not a developer. I`m not skilled enough to compile stuff myself.
I'm only using available stuff and write some basic scripts.
About
This is a simple script that will automatically delete the "Product" partition, resize the "System" partition to its maximum size, and flash the GSI image onto the device.
Make sure that your OnePlus runs latest (11.0.10) firmware. Tested on my personal device - EU variant. Global variant untested. Using at your own risk.
How to? Instrucions are available in zip file
Download
EU : https://mega.nz/file/7QxX3CJS#3eEyW61h9GAqubtgB8vtrF9c258Um9Iezb-uayBePSY
GLOBAL : https://mega.nz/file/2JBSgSID#9QR6I2nc5mJ0IVhoFtMwRZj3Eu4RbsuGOx59a5FFCI4
GSI LIST : https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
SafetyNet-Fix (Magisk Module) : https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases
Since it's GSI, bugs are expected. I only recommend this for testing ROMs features/customizability. If you want stable ROM for now you need to stay on stock. Just wait for more expirienced dev to port LineageOS to our awasome device.​

18.02.2023 :
-EU variant updated to 11.0.10, global still 11.0.8
-Added LineageOS recovery maded by kronflux
15.011.2022 :
-Files updated to 11.0.8 version.
05.09.2022 :
-Misc script improvments.
16.08.2022 :
-Files updated to 11.0.7 version.
-Added stock "boot.img" for those who don't wanna root.
27.07.2022 :
-Initial relesae.

Will this work for the BE86AA version?

How's it working out for you op?

Has anyone got fingerprint work in GSI? When I tried it last time, it worked only to unlock the device. It didn't work on any apps that uses biometric. Will you update script to 11.0.7?

Anyone have tested GSI rom ?

I use this as my daily: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gsi-projects/files/v415/ArrowOS-12.1/
I picked this one: ArrowOS-12.1-arm64_bgN-vndklite-Unofficial.img.xz
Tried LineageOS both 18 and 19 and it can't boot with magisk installed.
ArrowOS booting and passing safetynet. The only bug i found is bluetooth audio. The rest works just fine.

Updated!

Anyone else besides OP attempted this with the US/GLOBAL variant of this phone? I tried this two days ago, soft bricked my phone and the last error I got was something about the partition being too small and eventually lead me to "qualcomm crash dump mode" but I thankfully got my device back up and running with the MSM tools provided by another XDA member, despite the issues I've encountered I'm still excited to try a GSI with this device eventually lol.

it's not working on my BE86AA (global)
how can i make it run?, im really tired of stock rom

Make sure you have installed latest ADB and fastboot.
Edit: If you expirienced error like this you probably booted to bootloader mode. You need to reboot your device to fastboot mdoe.

Any theories on getting this working on the BE2028?. Im rooted on the pixel rom? As my previous post mentions the script didn't work for this device. I'm interested in getting at least android 12 on this device any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm aware of the risks!
I figured out a safer way to test them thanks though.

Hello,
Trying to flash same arrow rom as OP and following the instructions step by step, but I can't get to fastbootd. Regular fastboot works fine as i unlocked the bootloader. Tried fastboot reboot fastboot, but it reboots to a menu with a choice of languages, navigation works only through volume, power buttons. Any advice?
Thanks

AFAIK Fastbootd was a thing in later versions of android which allowed certain partitions to be resized dynamically (e.g. with OTA updates). While Google I believe supported it in A10, other manufacturers may not have implemented it until later versions. I've never seen it on the Nord N10, but I stopped using this phone for a while.
Thus... you likely have only the OnePlus recovery and fastboot partitions - not the ones that OP had for whatever was running prior to flashing Arrow (Maybe a later OOS version, or another ROM? Sorry, too lazy to read the whole thread).
As long as you end up with the right partitions in the end, what you used to load them doesn't matter. While I haven't tried a GSI on the N10, IIRC they don't use a lot of the partitions that OnePlus ships with and you are probably fine. What happens if you just flash through the old-school fastboot?
(Also... you understand the whole A/B thing, right? This is the root of like 80% of flashes that go south).

This is fastbootd. When you are in this menu run "fastboot devices" command to confirm that. I belive that OnePlus integrated somehow recovery and fastbootd because the menu are almost identical in both. But in recovery or bootloader you can't use my script it will only work in fastbootd mode.

Is there any chance of you making a version for the US BE2026 variant?
