[Guide] Unlock Bootloader (not tested yet) // Root // Install TWRP // install Rom

Introduction:

Honestly, this is not my work, even not my text. But it fits in this forum and i am going to update this until i can confirm, everything will work (for my device: FRD-AL10). I am not a developer, just an experienced (?) user. From now on, you can only find quotes. if there is anything written italic inside, i have changed these informations. You can find the original informations by using the given links. If i violate against the rules, i want to excuse my behavior. This thread is created to help everyone, making it easier to get an nice experience with our Honor 8.

The official method

In order to unlock your Honor device using the official method, complete the following steps:
  1. Visit http://ift.tt/24FGQRk and either create a new account or login with an existing Huawei account.
  2. In the form displayed after logging in, enter:
    1. Your phone model ("FRD-AL10" for the Honor 8 4 GB Ram / 64 GB Rom // or maybe "FRD-AL00")
    2. Your phone serial number (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
    3. Your phone IMEI1 (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
    4. Your phone product ID (to find this, open the dialler and enter *#*#1357946#*#*)
    5. The captcha code
  3. Press the 'Submit' button.
  4. At this point you will either be provided with a code, or you will receive an error such as 'The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.' If you get the error, you will need to use the unofficial method below.
  5. Open a command window on your PC / Mac, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
  6. Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
  7. Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
  8. Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
  9. In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
  10. In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the Huawei site.
  11. YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
  12. That's it! You're done!

If the link above is not working, you can use this link:

At the moment, i cannot prove this method. i have to wait 14 days, for my huawei id.


There is also an unofficial method?

The unofficial method

In order to unlock your Honor device using the unofficial method, if for example you receive the '14 day' error from the Huwei site, complete the following steps:
  1. On a Windows PC, download and install DC-unlocker from http://ift.tt/19oc7P5.
  2. On your phone, enter Manufacturer Mode - open the dialler and enter *#*#2846579#*#*. In the app that then opens, select Project Menu -> Background settings -> USB ports settings -> Manufacturer Mode.
  3. Download the Huawei driver pack from http://ift.tt/1VVm0HJ.
  4. Install the Huawei driver pack by extracting the file you just downloaded (using WinRAR or similar) and running 'DriverSetup'
  5. After installing the driver pack, connect your phone to the PC. In Device Manager, after the automated driver install, you should have no 'Unknown Devices'.
  6. Launch the previously downloaded DC-unlocker application.
  7. From the drop down lists, select 'Huawei Phones' and 'Auto Detect Model'.
  8. Press the magnifying glass icon - the app will then search for your phone.
  9. You should see an image like the one below showing your phone is found. At this point, press the 'Buy Credits' option to set up your DC-Unlocker account and purchase the 4 credits required for code retrieval (this will cost €4). You can also do this directly from the DC-Unlocker website.
  10. After your credit purchase is complete, click the 'Server' section and enter your new DC-unlocker login details. Press 'Check Login' to validate the details (if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts).
  11. Click the 'Unlocking' section, and click 'Read Bootloader Code'. Do NOT click 'Unlock'. Again, if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts. The white area of the app will now display the bootloader code. Screen grab this just in case!
  12. Open a command window on your PC, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
  13. Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
  14. Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
  15. Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
  16. In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
  17. In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the DC-Unlocker process.
  18. YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
  19. That's it! You're done!

But at the moment, i cannot confirm that this method will work. @ there web page, they have a list of the supported devices. Our Honor 8 is not listed. (But. Honor 7 or Huawei Mate 8 are not listed too)

2. Install TWRP

Quote:
Download TWRP ...

Then put your phone into Bootloader Mode (plug phone into computer and hold in power + vol down) and fastboot flash the TWRP recovery file you downloaded. Here are the Android tools you need to fastboot flash. Extract them to a folder and put the twrp recovery img file inside the folder as well and open up a command prompt to the folder and type in fastboot flash recovery TWRP-2.8.7.0-ENG.img Then type in fastboot reboot. When your phone reboots shut it back down and then hold in volume up and power until it turns on and keep holding in volume up until the phone boots into TWRP recovery.

@ club.huawei i found this threat:
http://ift.tt/2bvDWLF
(translate by google)
they offer an TWRP Installation image, and also root, xposed, busybox etc. for the actual B135 Firmware.

Use it by your own risk. After I can confirm ( or another XDA Users confirm) that this image works, I will post a direct download for all XDA users.
All credits for this image goes to HRT-Team
