Hi there i've successfully unlocked bootloader

Note: i do not have SD card installed - is it a requirement to have SD card in order to flash recovery ?
Can anyone help
Regards

Is anything about getVar or similar?
If yes, maybe line 11 from .xml file. Then go there and delete that line and try again.
If not, please give us more information.

Sorry i'm confused by what you mean on .xml?
I have no xml file??
Just the recovery and the apk files.
recovery in the directory with adb

When you mention "(bootloader) Variable not supported!" I was think that you are using a .xml file to do "something".
I had a problem when try to unlock my device with a similar message, then go to .xml file and remove the getVar line that always stop the process.
I was think that you has some problem.
Sorry if not.

[GUIDE] Back to Stock ROM (the sure method)

Hello everybody, for serveral months i saw several people asking help to back to stock ROM
here we finally have a guide that saved me and can save you!
Requirements:
Windows operative system
Multi Tool
OFFICIAL stock rom (in this guide i'll use B370 for H60-L04) Download
and the most important thing Huawei Update Extractor! Download
and let's go!
First of all open HUE (Huawei Update Extractor) and after selected UPDATE.APP file, extract system.img , boot.img , cust.img, recovery.img that we will flash on the phone, and put them in the folder where adb and fastboot are installed (in this case we use the multi tool directory).
now open cmd or command prompt and move on multi tool directory (cd C:\\Users\NAME bla bla bla\DIRECTORY TO MULTI TOOL)
now plug in your phone and enable Debug USB and type:
Code:
adb.exe devices (to control if your device is online, if not grant the permission on the phone)
adb.exe reboot bootloader
Now we flash all the files with fastboot
the order of commands doesn't matter
(MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SYSTEM, BOOT, RECOVERY AND CUST .img ON THE MAIN FOLDER!)
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot.exe flash cust CUST.img
fastboot.exe flash system SYSTEM.img
than reboot into recovery by doing
fastboot.exe reboot and holding only VOLUME UP button
than do all the wipe (cache and data) than reboot system
Easy right? :laugh:

Thanks for the guide! I used to follow the same procedure too but another alternative is to use multi-tool and use the unbrick option and follow the instructions. It super noob friendly:highfive:

my phone keep restarting, i have try this method, no works, helpppppppp
it stuck on honor logo

Hi Guys,
i got the same problem here with my H60-L12
After flashing Beta Lollipop 5.1.1 i tried to go back to 4.4.4.
Now it's stuck in bootloop and now it keeps flashing the honor logo.
Tried to unbrick it with Multi-Tool and different stock roms but i cant get into recovery or the 3 button install method, only thing working is fastboot mode.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!!

ok, now i'm desperate.
Got different Stock Roms (4.4 5.8.1;4.4 B119;4.4 B310; 4.4 B316, tried TWRP in different versions, even tried to reinstall fastboot drivers , same problem on Windows 10 and 7.
Only think working is Fastboot&Rescue Mode (White Screen, Phone UNLOCKED), but only when plugged in on PC with USB cable.
When plugged in charger, it just reboots and reboots i can't switch to Recovery or Fastboot mode and doesn't even charge the phone.
Maybe someone got any idea, did i use wrong stock roms? Do i have to use Rollback/Revert versions?

Any way to back to stock rom without unlock bootloader?

I've made a horrible mistake.
I was on 5.9.16, tried to downgrade by flashing system, recovery, cust and crc.
Unfortunately I've done it with B316, which is 4.4.4, so i got this annoying bootloop, in which i can't access recovery, bootloader or use the 3 buttons method.
It seems as if the phone tries to forcefully boot into system ignoring everything I do.
I tried draining the battery to turn it off, which worked, but when i charged it it tried to system boot as soon as there's enough battery.
Any ideas?

and where can I find update.app?

This worked for me! I switched from CM11 to the stable 5.1.1 release using your guide. Flashed B370 and then did a local update for the stable lollipop rom. Thanks a ton.

i need help
I extract listed file and open cmd.
I was able to reboot into bootloader.
I writing "fastboot.exe flash boot BOOT.img" and here is the result:

It fails at the first step. Can't flash the partition table, it always says "FAILED (remote: failed to write partition)"
I've tried several different ROM packs, even tried one for a different Redmi 2 version, and still can't do it.

did you place all the files in minimal adb and fastboot folder?

did you place all the files in minimal adb and fastboot folder? And what you mean by using several different rom package? This method is only for fastboot rom made for redmi 2 only. Make sure your phone is detected by PC in fastboot mode with command fastboot devices.
I have tested this method three times without any errors. You are surely doing something wrong.

My phone stucks on Mi logo what will do

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! after trying many other methods like recovery through adb ,command prompt,mi flash tool,mi pc suit...... i downloaded atleast 4-5 roms to just confirm that whether flash tool has some problem or the ROMs..........but if something worked after constantly trying many things in past three days it is this method.......seriously...
FYI this is the way i used it and u should probably use the same way
-> download MI flash tool (google it)
->install(in C
->download any compatible ROM for ur phone
->open :- C:\Program Files\Xiaomi\MiPhone\Google\Android
->paste all the contents of image folder from the ROM into this android folder
->then download this Flash All.bat from here and extract it...
->put your phone in fastboot mode ->connect it via usb
->then double click your Flash all.bat file-> give it some time->once finished ur device will start automatically
->after 10 mins or so disconnect ur phone from pc ... give it 4-5 mins , ur phone will be out of bootloop and u will be awarded with a new MIUI

Yes! It worked for me as well.
Thanks for your steps.

and it worked good.
My Mi Account was locked and could not connect to internet at all.
I had tried using Flash tools, PC suite - Flash methods and nothing worked. I had spend more time to fix my mobile in all these ways.
But this method is awesome. Only took around 15 minutes to completely flash my mobile.
After flashing the mobile, I am able to connect to internet and I have also created a new Mi-Account and linked my G-Mail account to it.
Am super happy now.
Thanks a lot.
However I would wish to add another details to the above setps:
The Flashall.BAT too needs to be extracted and copied into the same folder where the contents from ROM's Image folder were copied.

awesome bro thankyou very much.it's working absolutely well:good::good:

Tried a similar method and got my redmi2 prime hard bricked. Can someone tell me the test points in the device 2014818?

Thanx This works for me. successfull to flash my redme 2
Simply put Flash All.bat (Attached Bellow) in Minimal ADB and Fastboot directory and double click on it (No need to enter those commands). Your Devices will reboot automatically when flashing done.
congrats

Will this work for Redmi note 3 Snapdragon??

Hello
I am stick in bootloop with my Redmi 3 (after trying Flashify).
Tried the above method with high hopes, as I have been trying everything else also with no luck.
I have downloaded a ROM for my device of course.
It all seems to go well until I launch the Flash_All.bat
Then the DOS commands are executed in 5 to 10 secs, and my devices reboot, but in a bootloop again
I got a breif view at the DOS commands, and it basically, at several lines says somthing, like: "failed to write, device is locked"
see attached sreen shot
does this mean my problem has no solution and I can simply throw away my device?
Thanks

How can i unroot it?

Unlock Bootloader, Even without code!

--- Please don't quote this entire post ---
I have, with the help of two people who's XDA I don't know, just unlocked an Honor 9 Lite without an unlock code!:angel: The method follows:
Initial revision
0. Prepare adb and fastboot. On windows, change all
Code:
fastboot
commands to
Code:
.\fastboot
and similarly for
Code:
adb
(skip to step 2 if you have the June 2018 patch or earlier)
1a. Downgrade firmware to 8.0.0.xxx (June patch) via androidhost.ru - search for your device, get a C432 version.
1b. Downgrade, instructions are in the 'ReleaseDoc' folder. Use the forced install method
(do not reboot the phone until step 3a is complete)
2a. Enter
Code:
fastboot
2b. Enter powershell or terminal and type:
Code:
fastboot oem hwdog certify begin;fastboot oem get-product-model
2c. Send the result to @huaweihax telegram group or in this thread (telegram will have faster response times)
2d. We will send you your slock when we gets a chance. Please be patient, we have real lives. Download it on the same pc as you have fastboot on.
2e. Copy the slock to your working directory
2f. Type in your shell:
Code:
fastboot flash slock <slock_filename>
(Download twrp on the pc that has fastboot, copy to working directory)
3a.
Code:
fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk <twrp filename>
3b. Read step 3c and 3d
3c.
Code:
fastboot reboot
3d. Hold volume up AFTER the phone vibrates
3e. Twrp should boot up. If not, reboot it and try 3d again
(Each reboot until step 4 is complete, you will restart step 4)
4a. Connect usb
4b.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/nvme of=/tmp/nvme
4c.
Code:
adb pull /tmp/nvme
You may now reboot the device, if you want.
5a. Open the nvme file in a hex editor. Find 'FBLOCK' in the file. There should be '8' shortly before the fblock. Move down exactly one line from '8' and you will see 01. Change that to 00 and repeat for all instances of fblock in the file. Save the file.
5c.
Code:
adb push nvme /tmp/nvme
5d.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/tmp/nvme of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/nvme
6. Reboot!
CONGRATS! YOUR DEVICE IS NOW UNLOCKED!
Latest revision:
0. Prepare adb and fastboot. On windows, change all fastboot commands to ./fastboot and similarly for adb
Skip to step 2 if you have the June 2018 patch or earlier
1a. Downgrade firmware to June patch via androidhost.ru - search for your device, any C number should work.
1b. Downgrade, instructions are in the 'ReleaseDoc' folder. Use the forced install method
2a. Enter fastboot
2b. DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE UNTIL STEP 3a is complete!!! Failing to follow this will result in anger!
2c. Enter powershell or terminal and type:
Code:
fastboot oem hwdog certify begin;fastboot oem get-product-model;fastboot oem get-build-number
2c. Send the result in the telegram group @huaweiHax (link to the public group is at the start of the channel), or, if that's entirely impossible, PM @OldDroid on XDA.
2d. A nice guy will send you your slock. Please be patient, they have real lives. Download it on the same pc as you have fastboot on.
2e. Copy the slock to your working directory
2f.
Code:
fastboot flash slock <slock_filename>
(Download twrp on the pc that has fastboot, copy to working directory)
3a.
Code:
fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk <twrp filename>
3b. Read step 3c and 3d
3c.
Code:
fastboot reboot
3d. Hold volume up AFTER the phone vibrates
3e. Twrp should boot up. If not, reboot it and try 3d again
4a. Connect usb
4b.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/nvme of=/tmp/nvme
4c.
Code:
adb pull /tmp/nvme
WARNING: FOLLOW THESE STEPS VERY CAREFULLY AND DOUBLE-CHECK EVERYTHING!
5a. Open the nvme file with a hex editor. Repeat step 5b until you have done all the instances of FBLOCK.
5b. Search the file for FBLOCK. For each instance, you should see the character 8 shortly before. Go down exactly one line from the 8. Select the .. You should see 01 become highlighted in the hex area. Change the 01 to 00 and repeat 6 more times (7 in total). Save the file as nvmepatched
5c.
Code:
adb push nvmepatched /tmp/nvme
5d.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/tmp/nvme of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/nvme
6. Reboot!
CONGRATS! YOUR DEVICE IS NOW UNLOCKED!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Files you might find useful:
nvme.zip: a twrp flashable zip that automates step 5 of the instructions. I have tested it and it works fine for me. If TWRP crashes and restarts, that's fine, but idk why it happens. If it happens to you, please send /tmp/recovery.log to me in pm or here, or in telegram
autoroot.zip: a zip file containing a python script and related files to automatically unlock Huawei's. To use it, put a twrp file called 'twrp-kirin.img' in the 'files' subfolder. I cannot upload that file due to XDA file size restrictions.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=285583: thanks to @mrmazak, this is a windows batch tool version of autoroot.zip

In the attached photos you will see correct and incorrect converted "slock files"
When you follow the guide from above. Between 2-C and 2-D.
If the you get just a long string of letters and numbers (512 characters to be exact). That string of numbers it that state is "text" it needs to be "HEX". , to do this there are command line tools to do it. But it can be done in a user friendly way in a hex editor program. But this needs to done as hex and not text. The photos show both examples.
In the correct edited photo the long string is written to the left side (the hex area)
In the incorrect edited photo the long string is written to the right side (the text area).
SLOCK CONVERSION
FOR command line use
Copy the long string of text as regular txt file NO EXTRA SPACES -- for this example name it slock.txt
Command line code for linux: Needs "XDD" It should already be installed on most systems.(inside VIM)
Code:
cat slock.txt | xxd -r -p > binary-slock.bin
Command line code for Windows: Needs "XDD.exe" It canbe found inside VIM http://www.vim.org/
Code:
type slock.txt | xxd.exe -r -p > binary-slock.bin
NVME EDITS
Linux terminal
Code:
sed 's/\x46 \x42 \x4C \x4F \x43 \x4B \x00 \x00 \x01 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x01/\x46 \x42 \x4C \x4F \x43 \x4B \x00 \x00 \x01 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x00/g' nvme > temp
Windows cmd version needs GNU-SED
OR
reg-expression-tool LIKE "jrepl.bat" (one of my favorite little tools)
Code:
files\JREPL.BAT "\x46\x42\x4C\x4F\x43\x4B\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x01" "\x46\x42\x4C\x4F\x43\x4B\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00" /m /x /f modified-nvme /o -
Scripted method
Windows batch file tool
Use newest version in the folder. And allow tool to update, when first ran.

this sounds like great news for continuing custom roms on Huawei.
Just want to ask about the above section.
Are you saying just the sending of data will be rolled into an app, or the whole thing will be self contained in an app?

Just the second stage of sending data, olddroid is 'thinking' about making them both automated, but right now, neither is.

Try to use the c00 firmware, it may or may not dload. If it fails, theres not much you can do.

There's no c185 dloadfirmware, so try c432. It may fail the install, it might not. I just don't know.

Honor 9 lite c636
Can C636 work?

Again, try another firmware like c432 or c00, but it all depends on whether the dload works or not. If it doesn't install, you'll have to find one that does. If it installs you'll be ok. Just flash the correct model firmware after completing the exploit

My LLD-L21 (C636) bricked with Bootloader is Relocked & FRP Locked, but has been solved now with the help of your tutorial.
Thanks you so much sir. :good::good::good:

Wait but how can you flash something from fastboot if the bootloader is locked?

Slock and rescue_recovery can be flashed without unlocking. Don't ask me why, ask Wavei.
