Hi,
Does anyone have a root for the Honor 6 Plus and/or way to install GAPPS?
Thanks in advance...

You can look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-honor-6-plus-root-tutorial-t2991788
Thanks but it looks like that account and link have been disabled
Use the inbuilt app center to download google play services, once installed, you can then access google play and off you go. The Chinese inbuilt app center does seem to be really good and enables you to download all Google apps and also it's app updates are ahead of Google play.
I just need to root mine now. Anyone managed it yet?
Thanks mate but it keeps saying its not supported by my device...am I downloading the wrong one?
Go to the in built app center, the blue icon, Huawei app center, Open it and the first tab should have a search page. Type in that Google play services and it should find it, if not search and then install from the link.
It installed fine on my PE-TL10 version that arrived yesterday.
Once that was installed, I could install play and the rest using the same method. No root access required to get them installed. It comes up with the accoun, new or existing page and once that's done, you can use it as normal as well as all your other Google apps.
Don't know why your having problems, this went well on mine. Just need to root it now.
I've done that but it only gives me the option to 'open' it rather than 'install' ????
Open it, it won't work without.
still can't get gmail to work. That's the on,y app that won't work.
Will have to wait for a root I guess then install GAPPS...
That should work shouldn't it?
Check out this guide to install Google apps. This exactly what I did: http://www.huaweimobileshop.com/blog/huawei-honor-6-install-google-account/
I hope it helps. I have now unlocked my boot loader but need cwm recovery for 6 plus to get root sorted as I cannot find any standalone root kit that works, so my task goes on still.
Thanks mate.
How did you get your boot loader unlocked? Will you let me know? And let me know if you find a root and GAPPS ?
Thanks
I am a bit busy today with Sunday jobs at homes but will send you all the guides I follwed and I will get the files on to a web site to download for you. The guide is around but the problem was getting the product code. All good now, so will let you have it all later today.

Thanks mate :good:
I still do not have root as I need a valid EMUI 3.0 CWM or TWRP recovery but I do have an extracted EMUI stock recovery that I have been using while testing various supposedly Honor 6 Plus Recoveries!
So here is the Bootloader unlocking instructions taken and modified from here
Introduction
Bootloader unlocking works by using the fastboot command line utility and executing a specific command containing a ‘bootloader unlock code,’ which is unique to each specific device and must be generated based on the IMEI and serial number of the device. Once the bootloader is ‘unlocked,’ this gives us permission to flash (or overwrite) sections of the phone memory with code of our own choosing – allowing us to install recoveries, gain root access, and utilise custom ROMs (once they are available).
Huawei provide a website to generate bootloader unlock codes , but this unfortunately does not list the entirety of the Honor 6 Plus, so we have to get creative. Fortunately, there are resources available us to generate a ‘fake’ product ID for an existing model number which can trick the unlock code generator into providing us a valid code for our Honor 6 Plus, and therefore allow us to execute the bootloader unlock successfully.
Generating a Product ID
If you visit the bootloader unlock generator page (this is a page setup by Huawei themselves), you can see there are a number of required fields; namely product model, product serial number, product IMEI and product ID.
However, after selecting smartphone, you will notice that there are no Honor 6 Plus devices present in the model list – and therefore we need to generate our own product ID. To do this, download the Huawei_Product_ID_Generator (Windows only, I’m afraid) file and extract it to your machine. Please note that we did not develop this application and have no knowledge of any malware it may contain – please use your best judgement and always use antivirus when installing unknown software.
Once you have extracted the application, execute it by double clicking the .exe file. When the window appears, select Y300-0000 from the model list, and enter your devices IMEI in the field below the selection box. You can find your device IMEI on the box your Honor 6 Plus came in, or alternatively navigate on the device to Settings > About Phone > Status and your IMEI will be listed.

}
Selecting Y3000-000
After selecting Y300-0000 and entering your IMEI code, your newly generated product code will be visible in the lower box. Save this number or write it down somewhere safe, and move on to the next step, getting hold of the bootloader unlock code itself.
Getting a Bootloader Unlock Code
At this point, we need to go back to the official Huawei bootloader unlock code generator page. Now that we have a product ID, we are able to generate an unlock code quite easily. First of all, select Smartphone for device type, then select Y300-0000 (about halfway down) for the product model. The remaining fields should be fairly straightforward – fill in your IMEI and serial number (either from the box or on your phone in Settings > About Phone > Status) into the appropriate boxes.
For the product ID, enter the one you generated with the generator earlier – not the one of your actual device. Once all fields have been filled, complete the CAPTCHA at the bottom of the field and click ‘submit.’
If everything has been completed successfully, you will now be in possession of your unlock code. Congratulations!
Driver Installation
Now that you have an unlock code, we can move forward with unlocking the bootloader. First of all, you’ll need to download the package containing required drivers and utilities for the phone, extract it to your computer, and navigate to the resultant directory.
You will likely need to install drivers for your device, so do this now – extract the Drivers file and navigation within, then execute DriverSetup.exe and allow it to complete. When this installation has completed, restart your computer as advised by the driver installation wizard. The requisite software for the bootloader unlock and recovery installation should now be prepared and active on your computer.
Bootloader Unlock
You will need to get and down and dirty with a bit of command line magic in order to actually unlock your bootloader. The simplest way to open a command prompt in the correct place is to navigate into the adb_tools folder or somewhere you have them, and open a command line window and cd ****** to this folder. Your should have fastboot etc in this folder if correct.
The first thing to check is whether or not our device has been detected. Within the command prompt in the tools directory, enter the following command and then hit enter:
adb devices
If you don’t see any output after this, you probably need to install drivers. Install the included driver package, restart your machine, then try again. On the other hand, if you see a device listed, then everything has been detected correctly and you will be able to unlock your bootloader straight away. You then need to put your Mate 7 device into bootloader mode. The easiest way to do this is to enter the following command into the command prompt and hit enter:
adb reboot bootloader
This will get you into the bootloader mode of your device. You may have to press ‘okay’ on a phone screen popup to allow the adb command to connect properly. Once in the bootloader, we can perform the bootloader unlock. To do this, simply enter the following command and hit the enter key – replacing YOURUNLOCKCODE with the code we generated earlier:
fastboot oem unlock YOURUNLOCKCODE
If everything works correctly, you will be given a message in the command prompt, and the phone bootloader screen will now stated ‘PHONE Unlocked.’ Congratulations! You now have an unlocked bootloader.
I have added the adb set up file to get your tools folder and also a copy of the generator file
Can those with the 6 plus tell me what the pros and cons of this phone? is the camera really good or not?

This is awesome - absolutely awesome.
I will give it a go and report back . Ive managed to load Nova on it and get it running so things are moving ahead slowly. But this will help.

I have found a that now roots the 6Plus. Mine is now rooted and original recovery back on.
I used the Honor 6 Multi-tool from this thread in the XDA pages.
I am not sure if the bootloader unlock works or not, so if you can get it unlocked as above or try this tool.
The tool is for the 6 not especially the 6Plus but using the install CWM recovery works, then I used the boot to recovery and then selected root by sidelobe (install zip/install zip by sidelobe menus). SU was installed permissions set. As I wanted to ensure that the correct stock recovery was used (my EMUI3.0 extracted before) I selected to reboot the phone by exiting the (recovery) and it then asked me if I wanted to fix root, I selected yes, rebooted the phone. Checked that root was working and then went back to bootloader and fastboot flash recovery (my recovery) to get it back to stock.
I am now a happy Man, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Hopefully you will be able to as well mikejasonsmith.

This is cool mate - thanks so much!
Going to try and do it over the next day or so. Really appreciate your hard work on this.
What ROM are you going to stick on it?
I am using the ROM that came with the phone from Pompmall and it updated a small update once turned on. The current ROM is marked as CUSTCHNC00D112SP05, Build Number: PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B112SP05.
I take it that you are going to put GAPPS on while you have CWM recovery fitted? Don't forget that unless you flash back the stock recovery, you wont be able to use their update files and have to get a zip file of the ROM. But now we have a working CWM Recovery, it can be flashed easy by using fastboot if needed.
The owner of that multitool has said that he will add the 6Plus to it, so that will be good. I have provided him with my stock EMUI3.0 recovery to add in to the process.

Ive already got GAPPS on it via Nova but this now opens up more possibilities.
What are you going to be doing to yours???? Must admit Im liking this phone so far - battery life is awesome.
Sony Xperia M4 Aqua (E2303) Root Guide
For devices with LOCKED BOOTLOADER (Bootloader unlock allowed: No)
I searched for days, weeks and months to find a way to root my Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 phone without any luck at all.
The problem is that every guide I could find means having to first unlock your bootloader before being able to root.
Dialling *#*#7378423#*#* will give you the 'Service Info' menu, and tapping 'Configuration' will give you more information.
Under 'Rooting Status' you will see Bootloader unlock allowed: No. If this is not the case, then I don't know if this guide will help you. However, if this IS the case, then the below allowed me to root my device.
My device info:
Android Version: 5.0 Lollipop
Kernel Version: 3.10.49
Build Number: 26.1.A.3.111
Disclaimer: I will not accept any responsibility for your device. You are using this guide and any linked files AT YOUR OWN RISK. Due to Bootloader being locked, this guide doesn't include flashing the recovery! I am sharing this in the hope that it will help someone having the same problems I did.
So, here we go.
1) Dial *#*#7378423#*#* then tap 'Configuration' then look under 'Rooting Status'. If it says 'Bootloader unlock allowed: No' then go to step 2.
2) Download the kit at http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=28364310233527948260
3) Unzip the kit. Make sure you have installed your Xperia M4's drivers including fastboot and ADB. These are also included in the kit you have just downloaded if you do not already have them.
4) Turn on your phone. Go to 'Settings' then go to 'About Phone'. Keep tapping on 'Build number' and you will unlock developer options.
5) Go to 'Settings' then go to 'Developer Options'. Tick 'Enable OEM unlock' and 'USB debugging'. Also UNTICK 'Verify apps over USB'.
6) Make sure your phone is well charged, and plug in your phone via USB cable. A message will appear asking if you give your PC debugging permission. Tick 'Always choose this option' and then tap 'Allow'.
7) On your computer, go to the kit you unzipped in Step 3 and go to the rootkitXperia_E23xx_26.1.X.3.xxx folder.
8) Double click on 'Install.bat' and an automated Command Prompt will open up (looks like DOS)
9) The bat file will send all the required files and scripts to your phone. When complete, your phone will restart.
10) When your phone has restarted, the Command Prompt will say 'Press any key to continue'. Push any key and the Command Prompt will close. If not, I am told the Rootkit can be run again until it works - however it worked first time for me.
If all has gone well, your phone will now be rooted and will have the SuperSU app installed. Download 'Root Checker Basic' from the app store to verify your root status.
The Rootkit files used were found at a similar thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/root-xm4aqua-e2303-bolek-t3340399). This post/guide aims to be a more in-depth and approachable method for those not so comfortable working it out for themselves.
You're a lifesaver! Thanks so much I was stuck after having Bootloader Unlocked: No
Only problem is I don't have the usual feeling of satisfaction because of messing around with fastboot commands for hours that I usually do as this was so easy :/

I have a Huawei Y6 pro. I want to unlock bootloader. I tried to get it from Huawei official bootloader unlock page. But showing me location problems. Maybe it works with your location. Guys please help me out. I will provide with those information. Help me anyone.
Hello there, try using a VPN service (a chrome extension maybe) and retry retrieving the unlock key. Then perform bootloader unlocking:
In your device, go to Settings > Developer Settings > Allow OEM unlocking and enable USB Debugging. After that, open up your terminal/cmd and type: adb reboot bootloader
then: fastboot oem unlock (unlock key)
Good luck.

Nah bruh, I think you messed up. 22 marked the 60th day that bootloader codes would be given. I'm having major trouble to get my code. I think I'm going to give a shot to HCU-Client or DC unlocker. The only thing that sucks is that it is a paid service. And it seems sketchy as hell. Anyways maybe I'll inform the forums If I succeed. But to recap, Huawei isn't going to provide you a code as it seems. Maybe they'll start again. I heard XDA is in the talks with Huawei to persuade them to restart the procedure.
