Guide to unlock Huawei Ascend Mate bootloader
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN THIS DOCUMENT WAS TESTED ON MY PHONE.
After playing with my Mate I found a way to unlock the locked bootloader. If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash custom kernel , recovery to your phone.
The files used to unlock the bootloader is from P6 KitKat firmware. These two files are for efi and fastboot partition. Flashing only these partitions can avoid problems with mismatching modem firmware. The process was tested on official B221 firmware , but should work with any firmware. Reflashing a stock firmware(as I know there are only firmwares for Mate only with locked bootloader) with dload will relock the bootloader.
Unlocking process need proper adb and fastboot drivers installed. I use this driver :Huawei handset drivers for windows
Guide in pdf format
If your adb and fastboot drivers are correct you can start unlocking the bootloader.
If you want to unlock the bootloader and install Twrp recovery use this package :Bootloader unlock with TWRP install
Bootloader unlock with TWRP install mirror
This way powering on your phone with volume up button hold TWRP recovery comes up instead of stock 3e recovery. If you want to use the dload method to install a stock rom you have to restore the stock recovery.
Stock B221 fastboot flashable recovery
Stock B221 fastboot flashable recovery mirror
The other package just unlocks the bootloader .Bootloader unlock.
Bootloader unlock mirror.
Turn on USB debugging on your phone (settings->developer settings)
Start the package.
File extraction starts.
Command prompt window should appear.
Your phone restarts in bootloader mode.
Efi partition is flashed.
Fastboot partition is flashed.
Your phone restarts in bootloader mode.
Your bootloader state is displayed. (should say bootloader unlocked)
Your phone restart in normal mode.
This is what the packages do :
.\adb wait-for-device
.\adb reboot bootloader
.\fastboot flash efi efi.img
.\fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
timeout 2
.\fastboot oem get-bootinfo
timeout 10
If it says your bootloader is still locked you can try the following:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
If you want to restore stock rom and recovery here are the packages.
Recovery restore package for B221
Recovery restore package for B907
These packages restores the original efi and fastboot partition and then restores the stock recovery. These packages do the opposite as the unlock bootloader , however my phone stayed unlocked. Also this package solves the problem when the stock recovery stuck at the begining when trying to flash a stock rom using dload method.
WARNING:If you plan to flash a rom not made for Mate , always check that it does not overwrite other partitions then boot, system, data, cust. If the install package reflash the modem do not install it as it can hard brick your device.
For updated versions of permanent TWRP recovery check my thread here
Thanks to surdu_petru for the initial device tree to compile twrp.

Thanks joe....atlast bootloader unlocked..
One more thing i installed Fly UI OS from p6 and replaced with stock HAM boot.img....OS is not booting properly getting lots of FC's...
Does CM10.1 require different kernel or do we need to change any setting?

CM 10.1 may need some change in kernel or/and its config. Init.rc files needs modifications (framework , init.d support) , and it can happen that the init binary need some mods in cm source for proper working.For example wifi firmware path as on g510 . The standard cm init uses 2 firmware path , while the g510 init uses 4 to properly load wifi firmware files.You can check it on my github.
I am planning to compile a cm rom for our device , but the bootloader was the first step.
Awesome news mate ...
Finally someone can make goodies on HAM !
You can take a look also on my CM11 development project for P6, maybe you will make one for HAM !
Good luck !
Nice , very nice
Yes !!! This is best news on Ham. Thanks

Tested and works in B907 Oficial, unlocked bootloader ... Thank you for the contribution
Now this is a great Birthday present for me..
HAM Finally can be UNLOCKED.
i havent try yet but just wanna ask few questions.
1. Since now i'm using Hyd52Rom from Husen, can HAM be Unlocked with this Rom running?
2. Whats the best choice of current rom running for Unlocking?
maybe its sound stupid but its me (non-devs brain and only a user who dare to test..)...
Thanks guys.
You can unlock your phone using any rom. The only thing is needed turned on usb debugging. Of course the drivers on your pc should be installed .
After unlock check my other thread and update your permanent twrp to 2.6.3.2.

HAM finally unlocked.
Looking forward for testing Compatible Roms.
Any suggestions highly appreciatable.
Thinking of trying P6 roms but not sure if theyre compatible

It should work on P6 too , but for P6 there are stock roms with unlocked bootloader.(KK beta).
If you want to use it on your P6 , use unlock bootloader only , and flash permanent twrp made for P6.
Of course permanent twrp for Mate will work on P6 as well , but the device identifier will be hwmt1_u06 and not hwp6_u06 which can cause assert errors when you try to flash a recovery flashable P6 rom .
I know. But i search for a way to use this on B125 international. In the CN it is to easy

Hi!
My p6 has now official international B510. I would like to install twrp and then custom rom, but I don't know where to start. I guess I should install kitkat beta? If so where I can download it and can I just install it via local update?
Thanks!

Hello !
If you want to install TWRP Recovery first, make sure your bootloader is unlocked !
Also you need to have some basic knowledge on how to use "adb", "fastboot" and how to set proper driver in your PC to recognized your device even in bootloader mode ! ( If you think these things are still unknown to you, than Google is your friend in order to bring this knowledge )
After, you can start with those threads : Club Huawei, How-TO - Flash Kernel, TWRP and Stock Recovery, General Bootloader Unlock for ALL Huawei Phones!, TWRP 2.7.1.0 .
Good luck :good:
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
I have a HTC M8 rooted (Super SU) with TWRP Recovery and Android ver. 5.0.1, Software ver. 4.19.111.4, Baseband ver. 1.25.2145000021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F.
Last couple of days, I received a notification to update for android 6.0, but after I downloaded the update and press to "install now", the phone always restarted to TWRP recovery and do not install the update. Any Idea Why ?!!!.
Could any one help me to install the update?
Thanks

Replace the recovery to stock recovery and relock the bootloader. If you installed the modified firmware, reflash the stock firmware, you will be good

how to replace recovery with the stock one. Where I can find it.
Do i lose all my application data doing so.
No, I am using the stock firmware, so I suppose no need to reflash it.

Here you should find the stock recoveries: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/htc-one-m8-stock-recovery-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.html
download the right recovery.img file and follow these instruction on how to flash - http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-via-fastboot/ - in this just change the twrp recovery.img to the one you downloaded and run the code in command prompt.
It is recommended to do I clean install to avoid any further reported errors. Once you relock the bootloader you will lose all the data (like hard reset).

Thanks again for the info.
Unfortunately, I could not find the right stock recovery in the link you provided, so I use another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
However, I have to ask, if I am on stock firmware; only rooted through SuperSU and with TWRP recovery,
do I need to reinstall (reflash) or restore to sotck firmware as in steps # 7 to 9 in the post (link) I added, or
can I directly flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloder and start downloading the update 6.0
Thank.

First thing .. you cannot do OTA with a rooted stock ROM, you need a non-rooted ROM.
Secondly .. there is no need to relock bootloader - read the note in my thread.
Just read again post #1 and follow all the 14 steps, you should be fine.
Anything, you can ask in my thread as I'm not following your thread.

Great post!
I still have to rebrand and update to emui8.
Looks like a huge job.
I'm using this rom since 3 weeks ago and is so smooth and daily driver.
PD: Would be nice if you reference the original post of @Askuccio_DROID on P8 Lite forum:
[ROM] [PIE 9.0.0_r10] [OFFICIAL] PixysOS for Huawei Hi6250
Thanks for sharing here
After installing the ROM, you can easily get into bootloader by selecting bootloader during the reboot option in twrp. It's a bit easier than trying to get the buttons & timing right to get into bootloader to flash the stock recovery.
Hi sir thank you for this guide always wanted to flash this pixy os but no detailed instructions for pur device..
Im just a newbie here..
Can you help me find the link for the recovery for my device.
im on BLL-L22?
anyone pls help me
BLL-L22 ? You mean stock recovery? Are you on stock EMUI 8? India? If you have update.app u can easily extract it. But if you can't then I will do it for you once the download finishes.

Oh man....I think I need to rebrand first for this then get the emui 8 im still running on emui 5...im from the Philippines..
so the stock recovery should be on the updater.app the ill just extract that file then I need to look for "recovery.img"?
is that how its done?
Well first you need to update to EMUI 8. You will probably have to download Indian or China version of EMUI 8 from Firmware Finder. I suggest China. Once downloaded just rebrand/update. Now in the update.zip you will find an update.app it is around 2-3 GB. Download Huawei Firmware Extractor and then extract Recovery_ramdis.img That's it. Now flash it normally.
Reading your post I conclude you are on EMUI 5 correct? What is your model number? It might help with the rebranding.
Is the moble metwork standby battery drain bug in this rom?

Also recovery is flashed through fastboot using either powershell or command prompt through your PC
Go-to the above link and download HWOTA and the three update files. Extract HWOTA to the C Drive of your PC. Rename them as suggested in thread. Now transfer the files to Download folder inside HWOTA 7 folder. Now boot your phone into Bootloader and connect to the PC. Now run update.bat it will flash TWRP recovery. Once it says waiting for device to boot into TWRP, disconnect the device and hold Power & Volume Up to boot into TWRP. Once in there reconnect to Computer and press enter twice.
Now select:
Update from-> using script-> change location-> BLN-AL20. It will flash OEM-Info and then ask for your bootloader unlock code and continue. Now wait patiently for it to finish. Once flashing is complete select to keep Bootloader unlocked.
Upon first boot you won't have network signal. Solution is in the linked thread but Don't ignore it and fix signal first then after that flash Pixys OS by following OP.
Now to extract Stock Recovery follow these:
Extract the main update.zip
Download Huawei Update Extractor from XDA. Search for it.
Launch Huawei Update Extractor and go to Settings and disable first option. Now press three dots to browse and navigate to extracted folder and select Update.app
Double click on Recovery_Ramdis.img and extract it to desktop. You will get animage file and another one. Delete the other one. Now flash image file as you would flash TWRP. If you need more help, Just ask.
One question, can I transition from Resurrection Remix Oreo? Or do I have to flash EMUI 8 again?
Hello,
I am using an Honor 6X model number BLN-L21 running Emui 5.0.1.
Phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
Since is unlocked OTA updates are no longer working so I am stuck on 5.0.1.
If I understood correctly I have first to upgrade to Emui 8.0 stock fw and then pass to this custom rom.
Could you please write me a small recap/tutorial I can follow to jump my phone in Emui 8?
Thanks,
Andrea.

Yes you can but to be on the safe side I would advise to restore EMUI 8 first. Though you can go directly if you wish.
