Step 3

Now that you have your unlock code go to about phone in settings and click the build number until it
tells you that you are a developer. Then go back once and select developer options and look for usb
debugging and turn it on.
Step 4

Enable Developer settings by going to Settings > about phone and click build number until it says you
are a developer.

Once that is done go back to the main settings and go to developer

settings and enable OEM unlock.

I am going to assume you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer, but if not go to this
thread to install it.

Plug your device into the computer and authorize your device key so adb will work, then type the
following commands:

Warning!
Don't try to install xposed on your stock rooted EMUI rom.
It won't work

The system won't boot

You'll have to recover from a nandroid backup

You'll have to reinstall TWRP
That is NOT TWRP's fault

My personal, unverified, guess is that Huawei is writing to recovery in an attempt to, well, recover,
when it detects a system fault

We have twrp in a working state now so this root method will not be needed anymore and i am
converting it to a twrp thread.
You sir...are the man!!! TWRP, Root and a kernel in only a few days!

This is such an important

step and barrier. I wish I had more knowledge to help more. Thank you for all you have accomplished.

I still can't get adb on my Windows 10 64bits machines. I have run USB Linux on my Windows 10 before
to inject root on my LG G4 and G flex 2. Will look into it again.

Edit... I got the adb installed(Youtube my friend) and have the unlock code from Huawei. I had booted
into fastboot. Geeee so excited.. Will install TWRP and root

tomorrow. Its the fastest to have root and

into fastboot. Geeee so excited.. Will install TWRP and root tomorrow. Its the fastest to have root and

TWRP ever install on a brand new phone. I have the LG G4 , its took months to get root and bootloader
still locked.

Thanks guys!

Awesome! I get mine tomorrow. Paid for one day shipping, and was hoping to unlock and root on day
one if available.

I think we also want to thank Huawei for getting us test units early to help make this possible so
quickly.
