I am really liking my honor 8x , it is a brilliant phone for the money.
But I am keen to know when and if Android pie will be coming any time soon ?
Any spotted any credible news?
I've asked the question @ukhonor with no reply I asked if we would get the emui 9.0 beta that view 10 and honor 10 and play are starting to get now that the mate 20 Pro has been announced but can't get anything concrete from anyone, maybe we will just have to wait for final release, would also like for them to open up the bootloader request for device as well but doubt it will happen, like they did for a limited period for the honor play I applied but never herd back anything some say on the play thread they did get a email but I'm sceptical, as the 8x supports treble would be nice to get some custom roms evench but that seems a long shot without bootloader unlock devs won't bother, I think we have the right to request unlock seeing as we paid for the device and if we screw it up then its not covered via warranty anyway it clearly states this when you unlock bootloader! so I don't understand why huawei/honor would do this and make out its why they decided to stop it due to people bricking there phones well if they supplied firmware files and recovery firmware etc it wouldn't be an issues, take Samsung and odin as long as you have the stock firmware you can pretty much get out of any bad situation on your own, why xda don't do more to persuade them and stop any sponsorship , Rant over lol

Recently purchased this phone (April 2016 ZTE Imperial Max). Love the screen quality but do not like the fact that it can not be rooted. I have consulted an app on Facebook (Root Without PC) over the past 3 months and have been given the run around. Is anyone aware of rooting this phone? Never done rooting so it would be something new to me. If anyone could lead me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated . Mod Edit: personal email address used. This site gets crawled by spambots so please do not post your personal email!
same here, i recently purchased the zte imperial max and havent been able to find a root for it yet. is there any way to know if xda is working on it?
Root for April 2016 ZTE Imperial Max
I have imposed the question to xda forum and hopefully we will be able to get a rooting method for this. I am sick of bloatware and not being able to hack my games. I want control over this phone, not this phone having control over me. I have heard that as long as the boot loader is unlocked, then any method can be used to root the phone. I don't know how true this is though. I have tried kingoroot, iroot, and towel root, and they aren't working... So I guess it is sit back and play the waiting game
I would also be interested in seeing a root method, especially since there is an issue preventing me from updating to the B05 update.

Sorry, found this thread from a google search, I wonder if a moderator will be able to move it to the right place, since it seems the OP made the thread on August 6 2016.
Since July 24th 2018, unless you already received a bootloader unlock code you can no longer make changes or use anything except stock recovery and rom.
Huawei no longer issue codes and have removed the pages to do it.

FAQ
Q1. How can I unlock my bootloader?
A1. You can't unless you have a code buried in your email which you forgot about. Otherwise you're on your own. You're up a creek without a paddle.
Q2. Can I use TWRP Custom recovery?
A2. See A1.
Q3. Can I use Magisk?
A3. See A1
Q4. What are my options?
A4. Pay a third party code provider.
Sell your phone.
Use your phone stock.
Q5. Why would Huawei do this?
A1. Pressure from their communist masters? Or google? Who knows?
Q6. What is the point of this thread?
A6. To inform anyone who is thinking of buying a Huawei or Honor mobile phone of the situation at present.
And what is the actual point of this thread? We all know they stopped giving out the bootloader codes, so this thread is moot anf if anything will only turn into another "***** about Huawei" thread
Definitely will be the last device I buy from them.

Yea, because the existing bootloader-unlock-threads don't do that already ...
We already have a thread for this exact topic here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...cial-request-bootloader-unlock-codes-t3785100
Closing this one. =)
G’day Xda
As per a previous post of mine (https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/help/help-error-mode-boot-loop-access-to-t3831058) I am attempting to revive my P20 lite.
This has turned into a bit of personal project for me so with that I’ll point out I am not interested in paying for any proprietary software or hardware that seems readily available. I am only making use of open source software and putting together my own hardware where I can.
Is there anyone who is able to advise me where on the main board (Pics attached) I can find the Test Point and if possible knows where I can get hold of a copy of the Board software/firmware (apparently this is different to the normal phone software which is readily available???)
Any help/clues/advice would be greatly appreciated.

It Is too late now I guess, but did you try to send the unopened phone to Huawei for a warranty replacement?
I am aware they don't replace phones that have been modded. But by the time you were receiving the upgrade system error I am sure there was no possible way to see if you caused the error or the phone did itself through some freak accident software bug.
do you still have phone with you?

uhm... I think it worked? I booted into a rom and it says huawei ascend now... wtf is going on
i have a p20 lite stuck at bootloop. (shows Huawei logo with "powered by android" at bottom. no boot animation or loading animation.
can not enter recovery or download mode.
can not power off. Will test point method work for my p20 lite?
Let me start by saying I am not rooted no twrp just plain stock , with locked bootloader. Also EU version.(V12.0.8.0.QJGEUXM)
A few months ago I downloaded the Android 11 Rom V12.0.6.0.RJGEUXM through the phone even though I am not on any trial program.
It installed easily on my phone , some people have had to use other methods...so I read.
Anyhow , I thought it was way too buggy and needed to downgrade.( Even after the the 2 other upgrades to V12.0.7.0.RJGEUXM. This is what I did to rollback if someone else is in the same boat.
I had to wait 3 days to unlock my bootloader,
Then I used the MiTool to select the ROM I wanted.
The problem then is the bootloader is still unlocked after you flash the new ROM, you need to use ADB command " OEM lock" to relock then phone , it should erase everything then go back stock. I am still learning with this Xiaomi device so I had to learn this from different sources and hope it helps somebody else out.
Soz if this is common knowledge or wrong part of forum!
thanks for the info but why did you downgrade did android 11 lags the phone or what

1) WiFi issues and random reboots, when the phone booted (on its own accord) on reboot the wi fi took quite a few minutes ( over 5 minutes sometimes longer) to get back online.
2) The speaker volume seemed too quiet for video and calls.(on at full volume most of the time).
3) Not so polished, sometimes would be a bit laggy other times not.
At the minute Android 11 for the Poco is still Beta, I am sure these problems will get resolved. The moral of story ... Wait for OTA instead of forcing updates.
i used xiaomi flash tool to flash fastboot rom and selected this to keep unlocked bootloader

My phone is the CPH2459. I purchased it with the July 5, 2022/2022-07-05 Android Version.
1. I enabled developer mode.
2. I had enabled oem bootloader unlock
3. I had enabled "Disable Updates at startup
4. I has disabled automatic play store updates.
Two days go by and the phone goes behind my back and installs an Android 11 update so now I'm on Android 11 September 9, 2022/2022-09-05 update.
The phone tried to mention that it wanted to start the next update to Android S or some nonsense but I decided to stop right there and factory reset it.
After the reset, I'm still stuck on Android 11 September 9, 2022/2022-09-05 update.
Now tonight I want to try and continue rooting this phone unless there is a way to rollback to original Android 11 July 5, 2022/2022-07-05 Android Version.
What would be my next steps. I have downloaded everything I've been suggested to a usb so I can keep working on this step by step. You guys are awesome for sharing this information. Thank you for what you do.
Absolutely! And thank you. Heading home now so Ill shoot you my info.
Once I get familiar with getting this to run on one os I should be able to save copies and then jump back and forth right? I always wonder if it will be like how samsung and other manufacturers sabotage attempts to downgrade and other such annoyances.
So I would go here?

Then I would download which one of these stock boot images?
Followed by which Firmware version?
Just want to make sure I'm on track. None of them say US version, so I'm assuming Global version?
I'd like to know if he ever backed up his rom...I could use a copy.
I see. May I send you a pm?
