[GUIDE] How to unlock the bootloader of Honor 5c [Easy][Download Files included] - Honor 5C Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi today I will show you how to unlock the boot loader of your honor 5c. I have designed this thread in a Q and A format.
There are two questions
A.What are the requirements for unlocking a boot loader?
B.How Can I unlock my phone's boot loader ?
If you know the solution to one of the question then refer to the next .But read it carefully. Best Of Luck.
A. A.What are the requirements for unlocking the boot loader?
You should backup your phone. Store all you files on your pc or by using a third party software. Your device will be completely wiped when unlocking the bootloader.
Use a PC
Download and install the USB Driver for Honor 5c http://bit.ly/2If7ISe
Download the fast boot files from http://bit.ly/2p0R7JN
Go to Huawei's website http://bit.ly/2z9EFhV create an account and enter your device details.
Copy down your device unlocking code.
Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the USB debugging option from the Development menu.
Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
B.How Can I unlock my phone's boot loader ?
After installation and download of the files.
1.Connect your device to your Personal Computer by using a USB cable. Make sure your PC recognizes the device. If not, there might be a problem with either the USB cable or the drivers.
2.Extract the tool.rar file.
3. Open MAF32.exe. A CMD window should pop up.
4.Type fastboot devices. A permission window will appear and grant the permissions.
5.Your device serial number should appear, if it is not there is a problem with the installation of the USB drivers.
6.If all goes well, type adb reboot bootloader
8. Your phone will restart into boot loader or fast boot mode.
9.After this type fast boot oem unlock xxxxxxx Replace the xxxxxxx with the unlock code you obtained.
10.Your device will now factory reset. That’s it.
Please thank me if you found this helpful

Cant find the unlocking code on huawei's website?
Hey, i cant find the unlocking code on huawei's website? can u provide step by step guide on how to get the unlocking code on the huawei's website? Thanks in advance.

Dc unlocker is the only option right now

anyother way to unlock

Hi! I got a NEM-L21 (Honor 7 lite/5C). I want to root it and for that I understand that I need to unlock it first, then TWRP, then root? The real issue is the limited internal space, and EMUI has locked down so apps can't be moved to SD-card.
Does DC-unlocker and root still work on this phone? The problem I seem to have is that no COM ports are installed. However ADB still works. DC-unlocker won't find the phone because of no com port?. If I do "adb reboot bootloader" then DC-unlocker finds it.
Code:
Found Phone : NEM-L21
Model : Huawei phone in fastboot mode
IMEI : 123456789123456
Serial NR. : 8SC4C16A3000000
Firmware : NEM-L21C432B361
IMEI:860899034939631
FB LockState: LOCKED
USER LockState: LOCKED
locked
Battery state: 4354mv
In Windows 10, HiSuite is working and connecting to the phone fine too, allowing backups etc..
I tried "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (the twrp image) but it doesn't work without unlocking:
Code:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (31572 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.831s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.842s

Hi, I'm posting this message because I found a tool that worked to unlock the bootloader of my 5C! Plus it only took 10 seconds, I certainly got lucky. It's a python script, you just have to type your IMEI and it starts bruteforce (Certainly makes sense in relation to the IMEI).
Tool : huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader
you can find it on GitHub https://github.com/SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader

Sorry to bring up this old post, but how did you succeed in unlocking the Honor 5C? I always get "fastboot: error: Command failed" as an error message. My phone has EMUI 5.0.4

[GUIDE] Root Huawei Honor 5C and install TWRP custom recovery (EMUI 5.X)

Did not find any post mentioning rooting for 5C on EMUI. If there are any, let me know and I will take down this thread.
Note-
Applicable for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
Similar steps are applicable for EMUI 4.X as well but TWRP file will change.
Saw many user on Honor 5C FB page and on XDA struggling to get root working on EMUI 5. most of the cases I saw, were for EMUI 5.X. I followed the steps mentioned or as applicable for any devices and I did not face any issue so though of compiling this guide for new users who may have faced issue or not able to root the phone. (may be mainly because of correct and working TWRP issue) . I will just simplify the steps so that any new users can do this without any problem and without any prior experience to rooting, it may be long but will be the simple enough for all the users.
Prerequisites-
Enable the developer option in settings-
Go to Settings--> About Phone-->Tab build number 7 times to enable this setting.
Go back in setting page, just above system update, you will see a new menu as -Developer Options
Scroll for the debugging section and enable the USB Debugging
You will be prompted for the confirmation with RSA key, just accept it.
Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options (just above the USB debugging option) – Most probably this option will not be there on EMUI 5.0 (only few have seen on EMUI but it was there on EMUI 4.1 for all but rarely on EMUI 5.0 or may be because I have used dload most of the time which grayed out this)
Installation of required Drivers.
Connect your phone to PC and install Hi Suite on PC and it will additionally install all the necessary drivers to PC and HiSUite on Mobile.
Download and Install ADB from Link
Accept all the prompts and install ADB drive system wise.
Once installation is completed, if default options are chosen, it will be under C:\adb
Downloading the necessary files.
Download TWRP from Link Thanks to @OldDroid for his Original Thread . Rest of the contributor and credit in original thread by OldDroid.
Move the downloaded file under C:\adb or wherever you have installed the ADB.
Download the SuperSU file from this Link and put it in SD card or keep handy on PC so that you can copy to internal memory later.
Get the unlock as mentioned in this thread
Actual Procedure
Unlocking the bootloader-
Backup all your data as unlocking the bootloader will reset the device and all your data will be erased.
On windows machine, go to folder C:\adb or wherever you installed the adb drivers.
Press shift+right click together and select Open command prompt here
Run - adb reboot bootloader (this command may prompt for acceptance of RSA key if not already accepted)
This will boot the phone into bootloader mode.
Run - fastboot oem unlock <16 digit unlock code- Put your actual code you obtained from Huawei site > (This step will unlock the bootloader and will erase all your data)
Phone will restart automatically.
Installing TWRP
Once on the system, open the PowerShell or command prompt again in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run - adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader, Run - fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-venus.img (This will install the TWRP recovery for EMUI 5.0 on your phone)
Once done with the flashing the TWRP, Run - fastboot reboot
Rooting
Once booted to system, open the PowerShell or command prompt in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run - adb reboot recovery
And your phone will boot into the TWRP recovery.
Copy the SuperU file downloaded to SD card or Internal memory.
Install the SuperSU zip.
Reboot and enjoy.
Happy Flashing.

Hello,
I had the NEM-L51 from my mother running EMUI 4.0x, and decided to upgrade it to the latest version.
It was unlocked, with TWRP as recovery, and rooted.
I did flash back the stock recovery (from HuaweiUpdateExtractor/Update.app), rebooted the device, and applied the OTA (B350 first, then latest B357).
Until then everything is fine, but when I try to flash the TWRP recovery, it doesn't work :
D:\Android\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery D:\Downloads\twrp-3.1.1-0-venus.img

Neither the recommended Venus one, or the current / previous nemo one can be flashed.
Phone and FRP status in fastboot mode both shows Unlocked / Unlock, and the OEM Unlock option in EMUI Developper Settings is also enabled (I toggled it just to be sure).
I'm not sure what's wrong.
Would the update mess with the OEM unlock (by relocking and showing a wrong status) ?
I'd rather not try fastboot OEM unlock with the code (still have it somewhere) and lose data.
Thanks for any advice

So it's not a recovery issue.
How useful is the HiSuite backup ?
If I make a backup with it, will it be able to restore most user app's and system's data ?
I'd rather not re set everything up, and I'm afraid I'll have to retry to OEM unlock the device (so force wipe), even if it says it's unlocked (which it should have remained in the first place)

Hisuite can be used for back.. reliable one but not same as titanium backup. Backup WhatsApp on local and g drive. Zip the WhatsApp folder in internal memory and then copy to pc.
Rest other apps, via hisuite (can backup WhatsApp as well here).

You file should be in path D:\Android\platform-tools\ and not D:\Android\HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5\
I hope adb is installed under D:\Android\platform-tools\, if not, it will be udner C drive as C:\adb\
copy the recovery file whereever the adb is installed and then run the command
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-venus.img (replace name with your actual file name)

Ok, so in fact fastboot OEM unlock status was not accurate, and something I didn't notice was the absence of dm-verity warning when booting (showing when it's actually unlocked)

No problem at all mate. Helping through telegram was quick in real time rather multiple post or message and then waiting for response from each other. Due to time crunch, I opted to quick help rather keep you waiting all day long
Good you got your phone as per your requirement and able to do what you wanted. Thanks and Enjoy.
You can edit your comment to say "@shashank1320" (use without double quotes) rather Shashank123 as users may send message or qoute him and get no response as that user may or may not exist :silly:

c. Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot devices<<
If you don't see your device it means that the drivers weren't installed properly or the device wasn't connected properly. If this happens please reinstall your drivers from Point A. 2. or try these drivers here:
http://xiaomiadvices.com/download-xiaomi-usb-drivers/
d. If you see your device then enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot oem device-info<<

Great wanna try it..?

twrp is ok now

are there any possibility to re-lock?

hi! I was trying to unlock my bootloader but I have an error at 99% with a message in chinese that it says something like: "The phone has not been used for the specified time and cannot be unlock"
Someone has the same problem or knows the solution?
Very thanks

I have problems with this twrp.
When i enter in recovery it ask for a password to decrypt the data storage. I tried everything but i don't know how to decrypt, So i can't mount Internal and SD Partition and neither root my phone
I tried to wipe data, but even in this case i can't navigate into internal storage.
Should i wait for an official TWRP?

You have to apply for unlock and then wait for 14 days.

Has anyone successfully unlock other LTE bands after root? I have the global version but it does not have LTE band 12 & 17 which are critical for AT&T

Can you please tell me if this TWRP edition can see the SD card ?
Thanks

Password required in mount operation
Just after entered TWRP is asking for a password to Decrypt Data.
Tried all password for my account with no success.
I am not able to actively root my phone.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks

in that menu I think that you can press cancel and enter in the menu of recovery
Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 6 Pro mediante Tapatalk

same thing happened to me .. as I enter to the TWRP, I have being asked for the pin unlock password, which is not the one I have previously set on the miui. I rebooted to system, removed the pin protection and yet again it didn't helped with the TWRP asking the pass .. if I hit the cancel, I enter to the TWRP yet no any storage is mounted and can't do nothing further. So for a lot of us this guide is not 100% good.

I was finally able to root the phone, but i don't know exacly how.
BTW
My TWRP is V.3.2.3 v3 Special Edition mod by Mr-r00t
In TWRP just click "Cancel" to password request, then you should be able to see the content of the Sdcard.
From there i flashed "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_09.02.2018.zip" and "Magisk-v18.0(18000).zip"
Rebooted in system and did some setup in Magisk app
I did install also "Root checker basic"," Root Browser" , "Titanium Backup" from PlayStore.
In "Root checker basic" installed BusyBox too.
Finally root is working, and i was able to copy a new "Hosts" file in \system\etc, just to get rid of annoying ads .
Good luck

Right, I managed the same last eve *with the other recovery to be honest) .. root after magisk works, and tapatalk is clean after adaway was installed .. yet my data is encrypted and I cannot for instance do the full backup from the twrp. I am concerning format data, as I understood that it should remove the encryption, yet I am not sure would I have to flash something (ROM?) after I format the data, or I could just reboot to the system, as is?
magisk manager shows ticked 'preserve force encryption' and unticked 'preserve avb2.0/dm-verify', I suppose that such situation corresponds to the fact that I am encrypted, and I have flashed disable_dm_verity, just like being said.
also, our (RN6PRO) devices have activated anti-roll-back (mine arb index is 4) so there should be no much space for mistakes.

Sorry i cannot help with that question about format DATA , my skills are limited.
My Magix manager shows the same " ticked 'preserve force encryption' and unticked 'preserve avb2.0/dm-verify', "
I am ok with my phone now, and don't want the risk to loose everything or to be forced reinstall all.
I hope someone else could answer this question.
Have a nice day.

I don't know, register on dc phoenix and u will see.
EDIT: I found in a forum where they say that the price is 5$ for code.

Files you need (P10 Lite): https://mega.nz/#F!TNQiFDrS!LeWgM5bukSz66UEL5zE1Tg
Part 1 - Unlock Bootloader:
Full guide how to unlock your Bootloader via DC-Unlocker or HCU Client - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
* If you use HCU Client then TURN OFF your Antivirus because it detects parts of the program as a Trojan! But don't worry, it's safe!
Also see this tutorial here - http://hcu-client.com/read-bootloader-code-huawei-phone/
Install ADB drivers (adb-setup-1.4.3.exe)
Once you get the unlock code turn OFF the phone, press and hold only VOL DONW and connect it to PC via USB cable.
The phone will boot in to Bootloader mode.
Open PowerShell or CMD window and use this command:
fastboot oem unlock <your_unlock_code>
On the phone choose YES with the buttons and bootloader will unlock.
The phone will be factory reseted!!!
Part 2 - Root the phone:
Go to Settings -> System -> About Phone -> Click 7-8 times on the Build Number (until you see a message that you're developer)
Go to Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Enable USB Debugging
Turn OFF your Phone, press and hold VOL Down and connect it to the PC via USB cable.
The phone will boot in to Bootloader mode, but this time you will see this:
Bootloader: Unlocked
FRP: Unlocked
Open PowerShell or CMD window and use this command:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
That's all. Your phone is rooted with Magisk!
If you need just install latest Magisk Manager.
patched_boot.img is patched stock RAMDISK.img (boot file)
REMEMBER:
1. You CAN NOT install OTA update if you phone is rooted (during instalation gives error)
2. You CAN install only FullOTA update but you will lose the root
3. After every system update (FullOTA) you should run the phone to Bootloader mode and flash patched_boot.img again if you want root

This is unlock bootloader + root.
If you want rooted stock rom, then root is just one simple step: fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
There is no free way to unlock bootloader.
If you want to install custom roms then flash TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP.img
But DO NOT flash Pretoriano80's TWRP because it's for stock rom only and isn't support custom roms!!!
Maybe try this:
Haky86's TWRP - https://www.haky86.com/hi6250/twrp-emui-8-hi6250/
Haky86's Android 9.0 - https://www.haky86.com/hi6250/emui-8-hi6250/
ArrowOS and AOSP are stable.

You are going to screw up your phone in this learning process .Unless you have another phone and this p10 is your 2nd phone then you can try & error .No matter what you must open yr bootloader to proceed next step .Means additional cost for sure .
Good luck

Well, I asked for huawei support for unlock code. I had to send them details and I got the code in almost a month

Hey there guys! Is it still available to get the code directly from huawei? How could I request them the code? I recently received this phone as present and it is as it came from factory but i want to install custom roms in my P10 lite is it still possible?
Thanks in advance for your help, I really wouldn't like to screw up my new phone! Cheers!

Lg v20 h91820h t-mobile bootloader cannot be unlocked - android 8 oreo

UPDATE:
I successfully unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, rooted, updated kernel and roms, tweaking gpu cpu for performance in pubg etc, greenify, flashify, power nap everything.
xposed framework take you in bootloop for this device.
now i am on kernel mk2000, superv20 rom, h91810u, 7 nougat.
if in future anyone feels any problem i am always here.
remember: linus is your friend for this device, and windows 10 suck.
and
sudo $(which fastboot) did miracles for me....
old post:
Hello everyone.
i am new here and i am sorry in advance if i did something wrong. i will come directly to the point.
model number: LG V20 T-MOBILE VERSION, H91820H, NON USA, Currently on oreo android 8.
we are not talking about any kind of roms kernels roots or anything here. just a simple question. " can this model's boot loader be unlocked ? like ever ? or not "
cause i have tried everything, when i say everything i mean everything. followed several posts on internet videos on you tube posts on XDA, tried using multiple PCs, multiple data cables, multiple drivers but for some reason i don't know what, this model's boot loader cannot be unlocked.
THE ERROR:
<WAITING FOR DEVICE> till eternity.
what i have done till now ?
1. lg drivers installed.
2. adb drivers installed with adb fastboot files.
3. updating legacy android adb interface driver, done.
4. went in to boot loader then connected the data cable and updated driver, done.
5. usb debugging oem unlock options activated, done.
6. restarted pc multiple times to update drivers, done.
we all know all it takes is 3 easy commands to unlock bootlaoder
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
but in my case i always stuck at 2nd command. waiting for device is shown and nothing happens.
then i ran command, adb devices>> it shows
List of devices attached
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
LGH9182bfc6bdc device
next i put the command, fastboot devices and nothing is shown i just go to the next line... c:\adb>
so this is for sure that my device is not connected to the fastboot.
now my only question is, can this device bootloader unlock or not ? so that i stop pushing my limits.
any help will be appreciated.
regards.

To be very precise after following the first step while unlocking the bootloader in the second step when we type fast boot devices it should show some hexadecimal numbers and it should confirm us that our device is in the fastboot mode but in my case whenever I type this command nothing happens that means my device is not recognised to go in the bootloader this is the main problem there is no point in following any of the posts if you cannot complete the very first stage of unlocking your bootloader if you can figure out what exactly is the problem I will be thankful to you because I have followed every step possible I've updated every ADB drivers LG drivers but nothing is helping out as even before starting the procedure of unlocking the bootloader my device is not going in the fast boot also I noticed one thing when I try to go inside the bootloader screen before that in my device manager it is shown as composit device but after that I think it gets disconnected fastboot oem unlock cannot work as it gives a message of waiting for the device after going are using the command ADB reboot bootloader so my problem is the command fastboot oem unlock is pretty useless as it waits for the device and it's stuck there forever please help me out if you can I will be thankful to you regards

Did you downgrade to software version H91810P? Because that should be the first thing you have to do to get everything else to work afterwards.

Thanks for the reply.
Can you please clear me one thing. To downgrade from h91820h to h91810p you need to unlock bootloader if i am not wrong. And in that case we will be back to square 1.
Its not about installing custom rom kernel recovery root or anything. Its only about unlocking the bootloader which i cannot do.
I hope you understand my pain.
I just want to unlock my bootloader thats it.
It used only 3 commands.
1. Adb devices - shows my device.
2. Fastboot devices - no fastboot device found.
This is the problem. When you cannot find any fastboot device even updating driver by going inside the bootloader the entire mission gets failed.
I cant find any solution for this. I dont know for what reason my device cannot be listed in fastboot mode.

it requires you have patched LGUP

Thanks for the reply.
Can you please clear me one thing. To downgrade from h91820h to h91810p you need to unlock bootloader if i am not wrong. And in that case we will be back to square 1.
Its not about installing custom rom kernel recovery root or anything. Its only about unlocking the bootloader which i cannot do.
I hope you understand my pain.
I just want to unlock my bootloader thats it.
It used only 3 commands.
1. Adb devices - shows my device.
2. Fastboot devices - no fastboot device found.
This is the problem. When you cannot find any fastboot device even updating driver by going inside the bootloader the entire mission gets failed.
I cant find any solution for this. I dont know for what reason my device cannot be listed in fastboot mode.

As clsA said, flashing firmware does not require an unlocked bootloader.
Look at parts 1 and 2 of the other step by step guide here:

Thanks for the solution. May be this is it. All the time i have been doing it wrong.
Solution : flashing the 10p kdz does not require the bootloader be unlocked

I will downgrade from 20h to 10p now and will give you feedback on this soon. Thanks a ton for showing a noob like me the right direction to work.

well we have a new problem now.
lgup error 0x2bc invalid command response code = 0x80000202 at 4 percent while flashing.

used the provided kdz file flashing as an upgrade.

ok so the new problem is... may be i was trying to flash h91810p naugaut on to a oreo h91820h
and if i am not wrong at this stage i messed up pretty bad my phone is stuck in donwload mode wont boot up and i need to flash back 20h again to get out of this mess. can anyone hlp me ....
i just wanna know h91810p downgrading from 91820h is possible or not ? cause one is naugaut and one is oreo.

UPDATE:
i was flashing wrong h91810p thats why it was showing error. on another website i got the file compatible to my phone t mobile version and flash was successful.
now i am on h91810p software version andriod 7.
problem UPDATE:
i still cant unlock bootloader. same problem as before downgrading from h91820h.
adb devices shows device.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices gives no result.
phone cannot enter in fastboot mode. the problem still remains the same even after changing the software.

NEW UPDATE:
my lg v20 now on software h91810p is actually a T MOBILE version. and when i researched more about it i found out T MOBILE deliberately locks the boot loader of many devices and its unlockable.
possible work around can be if the software version installed on your phone can some how be an international version of your ROM, then only you can unlock the bootloader else none of your commands will work. now i am trying to flash this phone using an international ROM version if i succeed i will update. but according to my knowledge flashing other roms other than t mobile ones will definitely give errors in LGUP.

Do not flash another model's firmware onto the H918! Doing so will permanently brick your phone. The H918 in particular is incompatible with all other variants' software. Also, flashing H918 firmware onto any other model will also brick that phone.

[GUIDE]Android 11 how to root T-MOBILE OP8 5G

THIS GUIDE IS FOR THE T-MOBILE ONEPLUS 8 5G ONLY!!!!
This method has only been tested on the above mentioned device. It may be possible to use *parts* of this guide on other oneplus/android devices, but you do so at your own risk!
Furthermore no warranty or liability of any kind is offered or implied for any damages to any person(s), devices, or other property by following, or otherwise using any information contained in this guide be it inaccurate information or otherwise.
By using this guide you're agreeing to these terms.
MAKE SURE TO READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE GUIDE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW IT!
That said I've done my best to ensure this guide is an accurate representaion of the steps I followed to do the things laid out in this guide.
Required items:
Bootloader unlock token from OnePlus.
adb fastboot drivers installed to path. (Not provided)
Now that all that is out of the way. Let's get started!Rooting with provided boot.img
Spoiler: Click to show
1. Make sure that you are running some version of Android 11 via Settings>About phone.
2. Take note of your Build Number you'll need that later.
3. Click on build number five times to enable developer options.
4. Navigate to developer options under Settings>System>Developer options.
Turn on oem unlocking, as well as usb debugging & turn off automatic updates.
5. Open a cmd prompt on your pc, or terminal on linux. Enter the following lines.
Code:
adb devices
*Check the always allow from this device checkbox then hit allow.
You should see your device listed. If it says unrecognized re-enter the line above.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
*Your device should reboot into fastboot. Once it has proceed.
6. Now we must unlock the bootloader. cd to the directory where you have saved your unlock token.
For example if you saved it to the Desktop of a windows machine the directory would most likely be
users/*yourusernamehere*/Desktop.
7. Enter the following lines. One at a time.
Code:
fastboot flash cust-unlock unlock_code.bin
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
*Follow the prompts on your device to unlock your bootloader *****THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE SO MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DATA*****
8. Get past setup on your device re-enable developer options, and usb debugging, turn off automatic updates.
9. Follow the process to get back into fastboot via adb.
10. Remember your build number. Download the boot image that matches your build number here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=322713
(I've only tested this on the device I pulled from, but unless something drastic has changed since the last time I dealt with stuff like this these should work fine as long as the device is a Tmobile OP8, and the build number is the same.)
(I will try to keep this updated as new updates are released, but work keeps me rather busy so it may not always be quickly.)
11. Now open a cmd prompt (if you haven't already) navigate to where you saved the boot img. Enter the following.
Code:
fastboot devices
*You see your device listed in that case proceed.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
*If the process completes without errors then continue
then
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
*If the process completes without errors then continue
finally
Code:
fastboot reboot
12. Your device should boot up. Install the magisk manager app if it is not installed. Open MM & follow the prompts to finish setup. Enable magisk hide, and reboot. SafetyNet should pass.
Congrats! You have a Tmobile Oneplus 8 with root!
Using/Acquiring your own boot.img
Spoiler: Click to show
This section of the guide will assume you are familiar with using adb/adb shell commands, as well as being familiar with android, and other terms.
To put it plainly it will be a lot less hand holdy lol. This process requires root. So technically you won't be required to pull you're own image.
However it should be noted that doing so will streamline the process for later in the event that you need to restore to stock, and re-root later on.
*****YOU MUST BEGIN ON ANDROID 10 TO USE THIS METHOD*****
If you are not downgrade via the msmtool, re-unlock your bootloader & make sure automatic updates are disabled in developer options.
Let's begin.
1. Connect your phone to your pc with usb debugging enabled & reboot into fastboot.
2. Copy a Magisk zip file to your internal storage.
3. Boot the latest twrp (DO NOT TRY TO BOOT OR INSTALL TWRP ON AN ANDROID 11 DEVICE TWRP DOES NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORT IT!!!!)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery "twrp.img"
*****replace twrp.img with the filename of your twrp minus the quotes.*****
4. Flash the magisk zip and reboot.
5. Download & install the latest update, but do not reboot.
6. Open magisk click install>Install to inactive slot(after ota).
*Before rebooting make a note of which slot magisk says it's installing to.
We will need this later to know which boot image slot to pull from.
7. Reboot through magisk.
*You should now be on the latest update with root.
8.Open a cmd prompt and enter the following
Code:
adb shell
then
Code:
su
*grant the su request on your device.
9. Now we must find the location of both boot paritiions. Enter the following
Code:
ls /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ -all
10. This will display a list of all partitions on the device there are 2 we must make a note of, and 1 that is optional but highly recommended.
These are boot_a, boot_b, and optionally persist.
Open a notepad, and copy and those lines into a txt document and save.
(You can optionally delete the part of the lines before boot_a, boot_b etc. To make it easier to read.)
11. Now whichever slot magisk flashed to is what we need to pull from open your previously saved txt document, and find the path to which slot it is
Ex: /dev/block/******
12. In the command propt enter the following.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/***** of=/sdcard/boot.img
*****Replace the "*'s" with the rest of the path for the slot you need!*****
NOTE: If you wish to backup your persist partition then repeat step 12. Replacing the "if" path with that of the persist partition you made note of earlier, and the boot.img part of the "of" path with persist.img.
13. Copy those files from your internal storage to your pc using explorer or adb pull -p from the command prompt in the directory you would like them stored.
And that's it Congrats! You've learned how to pull your own boot.img from your device, and have root on android 11!
If you ever need to restore from stock you can just update back to android 11, and flash your boot images via fastboot.
Note: I would recommend storing your boot images in folders named as the Build Number to ensure you don't mix them up. YOU WILL NEED TO REPULL YOUR BOOT IMAGES AFTER EVERY UPDATE!
Updating in the future
Spoiler: Click to show
To update to new Android versions & keep root follow these steps.
1. Make sure automatic updates in developer options are off.
2. Download and install the update, BUT DO NOT REBOOT.
3. Open magisk select install>Install to inactive slot(after ota).
4. Reboot through magisk.
5. You should reboot into the update with root preserved.
6. Pull the new patched boot image if you wish.
A few things to leave you with.
It's been a while since I've dabbled with this side of development (I've mostly been focusing on app development, and occasionally magisk rom development.)
So.
Some things, and processes in this guide may change as future updates occur.
I'll try to update it as neccesary, but my work usually keeps me pretty busy.
Don't be afraid to ask any questions or suggest any corrections to this guide.
I'll do my best help anyone with any problems or issues, but be sure to provide as much information as humanly possbile to help me or others assist with the problem.

Yes you still need your bootloader unlocked through OnePlus/T-Mobile. Sorry for the confusion. I'll add that to the Op. I just wanted to lay out how to obtain/provide a patched boot image for T-mobile users on Tmo's OxygenOS. Since all I've seen is global/Eu versions.

1 is there a way to unlock and root without wipe? :C
2 What could be the advantage of changing from t-mobile version to global? is there a hardware diference or something to be afraid of?
Thank you

1. No unlocking the bootloader will always perform a factory reset.
2. This guide isn't for that. It serves as a repository for T-Mobile variant patched boot, or explains how to get your own images to flash via fastboot to be able to root past Android 10. Since Twrp doesn't support Android 11 yet.
As for the perks of switching to global a few I can think of would be.
No T-mo bloat.
Updates from Oneplus containing all features.
I believe it enables the local upgrade option for downloading, and installing updates downloaded via The OP website. (Only global/non tmo updates are available on the site).
I'm sure there are probably a few other minor differences.
As far as I'm aware the process isn't as straight forward as it used to be with the 6t, 7 etc. So there is more of a potential for something to go wrong. Could be off putting for some I suppose. For more details I suggest looking at one of the conversion guides.

I'm not entirely sure as to why. It just part of the process (on every device with an unlockable bootloader).
Aside from potentially saving on troubleshooting down the line. Perhaps it's a liability issue. Since technically unlocking the bootloader does make your device less secure. The manufacturer can't be to blame for stolen/lost data since anything you would've put on the device would have been put there yourself. The warning message doesn't appear until after the bootloader is unlocked. So by wiping the device before hand/during the process it insures that you have seen the warning, and are choosing to put said data on the device of your own free will after having been warned.
So my best guess would be to protect themselves from potential lawsuits. Assuming that there is no technical reason for needing it. (Which I'm not entirely sure that there isn't).

Yeah just looked at the guide, and it seems I forgot to include that step. Everything is fine. Your device is unlocked just not the bootloader. Before you can flash the boot image you'll need to run this:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then confirm using the volume keys on your phone. Then you'll be able to flash the boot image. I've added that step to the guide. Sorry for the mistake.

Sorry was doing some repairs on a phone. I haven't noticed any different. It could a get a bit hot during first boot from what I remember. Just keep an eye on it, see if it cools down. But rooting itself shouldn't cause that no.

If anyone needs to SIM UNLOCK & OEM UNLOCK the bootoader: goto Settings> WiFi&Network> SIM&Network> Network Unlock. If anyone can help on how to get the token unlock code, it would help some. For PUK and other unlocks https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/android/oneplus-8 and then scroll down to Security. There you have option to unlock several things.

How can you find out if your SIM Unlocked?

You can only unlock the bootloader if you have the sim unlocked. Which usually happens when you paid off your device, but if you've been on the network for 40 days, and made a couple of payments you can usually get them to do it for you. Might have to annoy them a bit. As for the unlock token you have to submit an unlock request to oneplus, and they'll email it to you. However this must be done AFTER getting the sim unlocked. The sim & Bl unlocks are tied together. Can't do one without the other unless a work around is found.
