Thanks!
This method worked for me on a A2017G running stock B08 (Nougat) with locked bootloader.
Build number: ZTE A2017GV1.2.0B08
Only difference was between step 10 and 11. The device was encrypted so I ended up in the "enter password" dialog after flashing, reset and reboot from edl (because of verity break I guess).
I had to force the device manually into the bootloader (switch off and then hold Volume-Up and Power button to get into the recovery and then to the bootloader).
BTW: Flashed TWRP 3.2.1.0 directly after first boot with axon7tool and then installed Magisk 15.3. Magisk seems to work pretty well for me with this device, root/SU support is working and SafetyNet Patch is also fine.
Thanks for the guide and the links again!
Bye

actually to relock you should flash a FULL_EDL package through MiFlash, then flash fastboot, maybe with the package on this thread, and then relock. But check if I'm right cause I've never done that

Like, on the start? Look you need to enable USB debugging and keep the phone on and unlocked. Issue 'adb devices' and a pop-up should appear on the phone. Allow the connection and then try 'adb reboot edl'
The phone will seem like it's completely off but it will be in EDL mode

Actually, I enabled USB debugging and kept the phone on. I don't understand the meaning of keeping it unlocked, which I thought that was what I am trying to do.
Another question is whether I should download those files into my computer or into the phone. I downloaded them into my PC.

I re-did the whole process and finished the step 9 (Flash and wait until it is done). However, the device won't be on after long press the power button as indicated in Step 10. What should I do now?

Make it a really long press. Like a couple of minutes long. After that release it and hold it again, it should boot up
What I meant with 'keep it unlocked' was that you had to leave it with the screen on, not locked.

Thanks for the info. I have long pressed the power button more than 4 minutes, but it still won't power up. I saw the LED light up very shortly and felt the phone motor vibrated little bit (You normal can feel the vibration very strong before I did such unlock bootloader thing when the phone powers on). Also, it would repeate such LED and little motor vibration if I hold the power button long enough. How should I do? Thanks again.

Do you immediatly reboot into recovery after flashing TWRP? If not, the Stock Recovery will be restored and twrp is getting deleted again.
if you type "fastboot reboot" just hold the "volume up" key at this moment until you're in twrp...

Yes, I did it. But a blue screen appear fast and my smartphone turns off. It does not go into recovery at all, only after I start the phone normally. Funny that I only get message of success since the release of the bootloader until the installation of twrp.
Have you tried "fastboot boot <recovery.img>"?

I forget to mention. After the "successful" twrp install, the device is not recognized. What I mean: "List of devices attached" is blank. So I can't use this command.

fastboot could use in fastboot mode (shutdown then vol down + power) only and windows sohuld recognize this.
But I think your adb usb driver got conflict somehow.
You can try "usbdeview" to uninstall all adb usb drivers then use some knid of universal adb usb driver installer.

I have the 820. Could NOT get windows to see this phone on stock rom. Don't recall exact steps I took, but I do remember the ADB feature within TWRP saved my day. Windows would see the phone in TWRP recovery adb mode, but could never get windows to adb connect with stock rom.
Hey people, sry I'm coming back now. Lightning struck my street and burned my pc. But I come back with another problem, when I connect my phone to the pc nothing happens. I mean, I can't transfer cause MTP doesn't work. I tried install unninstall and install again adb, and all the drivers but it did not work. So I'll need to fix this to try to install twrp again
Guys! I was being too stupid! I found my mistake... I was using another smartphone twrp... So, for who are having same issue, pay attention to this. But, thanks everybody and sry for this hahaha
Follow each step to install TWRP and root. I will not be responsible if you brick your device. If you follow each step you will have TWRP and root installed on your AT&T Ascend XT H1611
Updated instructions, let me know if anything needs clarifying or needs cleaning up
Step 1: Save all your data before continuing and back up your pics and files to your PC (unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything)
Step 2: Make sure to have "usb debugging" AND "enable OEM unlock" enabled from developer options in the phones settings, if you don't know how to do this here is a video since the instructions are not included in the rootmygalaxy guide below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ikbcfZfmRA Do this first!
Install adb, fastboot and usb drivers to unlock the bootloader as per the link below. Update FEB 27, 2017: when going to the link in the rootmygalaxy guide below that brings you to the Huawei unlock portal use a different browser than chrome since it keeps redirecting you to the EMUI 5.0 page. Use edge or another browser, once logged in it will bring you to the unlock page. If not and it redirects you to the EMUI 5.0 page click on "download" at the top of the page then on the next page below the search bar click on the "unlock bootloader" link which will bring you to the unlock portal. Again not working with chrome, use a different browser
http://rootmygalaxy.net/unlock-bootloader-on-huawei-devices/
By the time you are done Step 2 you should have your bootloader unlocked. **Do not continue any further if you do not**
Step 3: Download the latest TWRP.img file from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6BmerE0MoCOdlU4RHRYT1pmeUE/view
The img must be placed in the same folder you have adb and fastboot so put it there and remember where you put it on your PC.
Step 4: Put the SuperSU zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/1019/S...0103215521.zip on your microSD card and remember where you put it.
Step 5: From windows command line with phone on and USB debugging enabled type (all adb commands below are in bold):
a) adb devices (to make sure you device is recognized)
b) adb shell reboot bootloader
Step 6: Confirm phone goes to FASTBOOT & RESCUE mode.
a) fastboot devices (to make sure you device is recognized)
b) fastboot boot TWRP.img (boots TWRP.img from Step 3)
c) Phone will boot into TWRP. Always select Keep Read Only from first screen every time you go into TWRP.
Peek around a bit if you want to, then use TWRP to backup your stock recovery to external micro SD.
d) Reboot bootloader from inside TWRP to flash this custom recovery image (no adb command this time, you are rebooting to bootloader from TWRP, you will see this option under "reboot" in TWRP).
e) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (now flashes TWRP recovery to the phone)
Step 7: After phone reboots, get into TWRP recovery repeating Step 6, a and b or hold power button and volume up button from power off state, then release when you see Huawei logo.
Step 8: From TWRP:
a) Once again, always select Keep Read Only from first screen every time you go into TWRP!
b) Press Settings to adjust display brightness and vibrations settings, then press home button.
c) Wipe - Format Data (Warning: You are about to blow away your files on internal storage - which you should have backed up by now. Read the red text and confirm by typing yes and blue check mark button.
d) Home - Backup - Select all six partitions, then Select Storage - Micro SDCard (very important), OK, then Swipe to Backup. When the backup is finished, Home - Advanced, File Manager, /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/........ and make sure your backup files exist for each of the six partitions.
e) Home - Install then Select Storage - Micro SDCard, find your SuperSU.zip, and flash it. Swipe to confirm Flash. Be patient, as it takes a few minutes.
f) After flashing SuperSU, Wipe Dalvik and Cache, then reboot. Be patient, as it takes a few minutes. My phone rebooted several times. You should have root after your phone boots up and you set it back up!
Step 9: Be sure to make another TWRP backup of System, Data, and Boot after you get root and phone is set up again!
All credit goes to enigma2446, strtrcr_87, yuweng and divineBliss. Hopefully I cleaned the instructions up one step further since there has been a lot of questions and confusion.
Here are the old original instructions/thread for historical purposes:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69811031&postcount=1
I'm sure that new ones are better and anyone who uses them, please leave comments/updates so they can be further improved if necessary.

Added it as a reminder even though that is the case as you pointed out. I know how you feel clsA, 600 views and 2 thanks. It would be nice to see more appreciation to those helping out. The Ascend XT is a good phone at $100-$149 and quite a bit of work has gone into making it into a great phone. Thanks to XDA we will get there.
Let's show some appreciation to those working on this, it takes but a second to hit the "Thanks" button. No donations or money required.

Ok I did see that "fastboot&rescuemode" screen before it says phone locked in green and frp unlock in red underneath. So I use the regular pc command prompt to enter "fastboot oem unlock your-unlock-password"? (of course I used my code) It didnt work. I imagine the "C" drive is not where the command prompt should look. haha im so computer illiterate sorry.

Obviously adb seems to be working because you booted to the fast boot and rescue mode
If you type fastboot devices, it should return a result or you do not have fastboot installed.
Under your "local drive" whether it is "C" or something else it should be there. adb.exe and fastboot.exe should be there.
I understand this might be a little off topic, I'm very familiar with Samsung devices, just got this phone a few weeks ago. Got it rooted and Xposed running fine, just curious if anyone here has flashed suhide yet and if it works or soft bricks the phone.

IMPORTANT: It appearance that Huawei is no longer going to provide bootloader unlocking services for their devices. Because of this, this guide is of no use unless you can find a way to get a code or you just held onto the code.
Hello, this is a guide for unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Huawei Ascend XT. I am writing this because the current guide is not very well written and does not contain bootloader unlock instructions. This will be split into two parts: Part 1, unlocking the bootloader, and Part 2, rooting the phone.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE!
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
1. A Huawei Ascend XT with at least 60% of battery left
2. A computer with adb drivers, fastboot drivers, and the Huawei USB drivers
3. A Micro-SD card for your backups (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE MAKE BACKUPS!)
4. TWRP for this phone. This can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-t3507933 (credits to enigma2446)
5. The ZIP containing SuperSU. This can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-t3507933
6. The SDK Platform Tools. These can be found on the android studio website.
PART 1: UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER1. Geting the Bootloader Unlock Code: You need to get your bootloader unlock code. You can get this by going to https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock
(EDIT: It appears that this website is down. I have read that if you PM Huawei on Twitter or call them and provide all the details of your phone, they will give you a code. I have not tested this method, bit people have said it worked with the mate 10.) and signing into your Huawei ID. If you dont have one, create one. Then, follow the instructions given to you by Huawei to get the code.
2. Enabling the Enable OEM Unlock Option: To enable this option, you must enable developer options. To do this, go to Settings>About Phone and tap the Build number until it says "You are now a Developer". back out of About Phone, and go to Developer options. turn on "Enable OEM unlock" and press Enable.
3. Enable USB Debugging: While you are still in Developer options, enable the option 'USB debugging" and press OK.
4. Booting Into the Bootloader: once you have completed the first three steps, you can now boot into the bootloader. Connect your phone to your computer, and open the Platform Tools folder you should have downloaded and extracted. Shift-Right click, and press "Open Command Window Here" or "Open Powershell Window Here", depending on your version of windows. Once it is open, make sure your device is detected by typing "adb devices". If it displays your device, you are good to continue. If not, something is not set up right on your computer or phone. Once you verified that your phone is detected, type "adb reboot bootloader".
5. Unlocking the Bootloader: Once your phone has booted into the bootloader, you can now unlock the bootloader. YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED ONCE YOU TYPED THIS COMMAND. You can unlock it by typing "fastboot oem unlock <your bootloader unlock code>". Once it has finished, you can reboot your phone, and just run through the setup fast, because you will still have to wipe it again.
PART 2: ROOTING YOUR PHONE1. Move the TWRP image you downloaded (called
Xtrecovery) to your Platform Tools folder and rename it to "TWRP.img"
2. Insert Your Micro-SD Card
3. Move the SuperSU Zip you downloaded to the SD card
4. Re-Enable USB Debugging: Enable Developer options by going to Settings>About Phone and taping the Build number until it says "You are now a Developer". Back out of About Phone, and go to Developer options, and enable USB debugging, and press OK.
5. Boot Into the Bootloader: Type "adb reboot bootloader" into your open CMD window or Powershell window.
6. Verify That your Phone says that the Bootloader is unlocked
7. Type "fastboot boot TWRP.img"
8. TWRP should boot. Tap "Keep Read Only"
9. You should now be in TWRP. Go to Backup>Select Storage and choose your Micro-SD card and tap OK. Uncheck everything and check "Recovery". Then, Swipe the slider to back up your stock recovery partition.
10. Once it has finished backing up, reboot your phone to the bootloader.
11. Once it is in the bootloader, type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" to flash TWRP as your recovery. (I believe this is the point where your warrenty will be invalidated by Huawei, so be careful.)
12. When it finishes flashing TWRP, reboot your phone to TWRP by holding down the power button and volume up
13. It should boot to TWRP. Tap "Keep Read Only", then go to (YOU ARE ABOUT TO WIPE IT AGAIN)Wipe>Format Data and type yes, and hit the enter button.
14. Once it finishes, go to Backup>Select Storage, select your SD card and hit OK, then check every box to backup all six partitions, and swipe to back them up. (At the end, it may seem to get stuck at 98-99%, DO NOT STOP IT! It is generating an MD5 checksum)
15. When it finishes backing everything up, go back to the home screen of TWRP, then go to Install, navigate to where you stored the SuperSU ZIP, select it, then swipe to flash it.
16. When it finishes flashing the SuperSU ZIP, tap "Clear Cache/Dalvik" and swipe to clear them.
17. Reboot your phone. IT WILL REBOOT MULTIBLE TIMES AND APPEAR TO BE STUCK SOMETIMES, BUT DONT TOUCH IT! This is normal and it will eventually boot like normal.
That's it!
Your phone should now be rooted and have SuperSU installed. Please note that this is a Systemless root, and will be removed if you factory reset your phone.Thanks to divineBliss for creating the original instructions.

To install a custom ROM, you need the ROM you want to install, gapps depending on the ROM, and the proper firmware. The firmware you are on can be found under about phone and is the last 4 digets of the build number (in the format of B1xx). Once you are on the proper firmware, have your ROM and other things it may require, (every ROM is different), and a backup (just in case), you can flash the ROM from TWRP. Follow the instructions provided by the creator of the ROM to properly flash it.

It will not. The TWRP recovery image is device specific and might brick your device if you flash it to your phone.

Well I did not see that, so yeah, I have bricked it. IT comes up and says it is unlocked, it used to sit there then boot into the system.
So I downloaded the TWRP, tried to reboot to recovery and nothing.
Now, it just gets to the yellow warning screen, then goes black. Just bought this today on a black friday sale for 49.00
But did it for a reason. Now I would like to be able to recover it....
I was able to run adb and fastboot, so know that the drivers work, but it looks like it won't even get there now.
And it won't even go to the recovery, so I guess this phone is a real brick.
Can't seem to get the back cover off to remove the battery either.
You need a copy of the stock H1711 recovery image to use
"fastboot flash recovery H1711-stock-recovery.img" to restore the stock recovery. Until someone creates a working H1711 TWRP, I don't know where you'll find a stock H1711 recovery image file.

Notes on booting up the phone (from power off)
Bootloader (fastboot) = power + volume down + USB hooked to pc

Optionally you put phone into bootloader/fastboot or recovery modes by typing from an adb prompt "reboot bootloader" or "reboot recovery"

You'll have to use DC Unlocker and pay to unlock until the page returns
Since unlocking the bootloader is no longer supported, I have a suggestion but am afraid to try myself.
So, download stock version of rom (aka fastboot rom). Extract, replace recovery.img with twrp (renamed to recovery.img). Restart phone in EDL mode, flash. In theory, edl is working fastboot mode so it shouldn't matter if bootloader is unlocked, correct?

Imma try this out, I’m stuck in a weird situation where my sd card slot broke. When I sent it in for service, they said it was rooted and refused to fix it. I specifically did not root it so that I could send it in for warranty service. So it’s mission to try and root, unlock boot loader etc so that I can have more storage space

So, what do we lose in this process? Granted it's been reported that the camera is working without the need for a DRM fix, but do we lose other things like video and sound enchantment options?

Absolutely yes
From the use I note that the recovery doesn't read the internal data, but only the sd card. I still don't understand if it's the firmware that has bugs or the twrp that still isn't calibrated for Adroid Pie.
Edit: I found in the XDA site the recovery for the new firmwre and everything works fine here

Sorry, but the requirement is always with unlocked bootloader?Thanks
Wait... I'm confused. I need an unlocked bootloader for this correct? Also, am I missing a step? I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. I have the key from Sony, but whenever I turn off the phone and try to enter bootloader mode (volume up + usb charger), the notification light turns blue, and that's it. Nothing appears on my screen, if I type fastboot devices, no devices appear as listed. And if I try to run the line of code, I'm just stuck "waiting for device" and nothing happens? Am I being stupid and missing something? Don't remember having this many issues with my htc m9.

Are your drivers properly installed reason I am asking is you're not getting a return when you type in fastboot devices, go back to you developer setting, revoke your debugging , then reinstall your drivers turn on USB debugging and see what happens?

Hmm, I think I know why it wasn't working? I got the xperia xz1 drivers off of the sony developer website, and I went to device manager and tried to do the legacy driver install, but I keep getting "This device cannot start (code 10)" Maybe that's the issue? And if so, am I installing it wrong or something?

I was under the impression that flash tool is used to get the latest version of the pi (which I already have as the update rolled out a few days ago)? Not for unlocking the bootloader? As for my bootloader, I'm stuck on that step. I'm following sony's steps on unlocking the bootloader, however, I'm stuck on the fastboot as my device isn't recognized. I guess I'll try again from the top, uninstall all the current drivers and reinstall them again.
I also want to add, whenever I plug my phone in into bootloader mode, the pc does recognize that a device is connected as the notification pops up, but again, "fastboot devices" returns nothing. Is there supposed to be a screen for the bootloader? Or is it just a black screen with the blue led?

Once you get your driver's fixed, just follow the directions given by Sony.. Your phone screen will remain black as all info will be done on your computer..

Absolutely no, flashtool doesn't need to unlock the bootloader, rather serves to re-lock it in some xperia devices. To unlock it you have to use cmd commands in adb & fastboot, but you can find it here in the XZ1 section.
The cell screen remains black and a blue led appears if you connect in fastboot mode, if you connect in flash mode the screen remains black, but a green LED appears.
if you have problems with the recognition of the device on your PC I can link my guide, it's in italian but if you use google translator you understand it well here

I've checked out the thread but it appears only a few with the xz1 have tried it and they didn't report the outcome, well except one who somehow managed to turn his device in an expensive paperweight.. But I will check it out this weekend..
Hey everyone. Today I've finally unbricked my Zenfone 7 after my dumbass locked the oem with fastboot since I've already rooted my phone and didn't want to use adb anymore (I was getting tired of the warranty voided message at boot too). Right after locking the oem, the phone booted and displayed a message that says: " Your device is corrupted. It cannot be trusted and won't boot". You already could tell I was scared as hell, so all I did the past hours was to look around until I found this solution!
Have in mind I'm not an expert or a developer, I'm only hoping you find this thread if you ever find yourself locked in fastboot with no access to recovery, oem, adb or usb debugging, just fastboot commands.
Having said that, you need to flash the raw firmware for your device. For the Zenfone 7 the one you need is "WW__ZS670KS_29.14.53.5_MR1.3_20201111_release-user.raw".
You also need:
- Android sdk and platform tools (minimal adb works too but I recommend original google software)
- Usb asus drivers
- Usb google drivers (installable from android studio just like sdk and platform tools)
Turn on your device on fastboot and connect it to your pc, then open cmd or powershell on your platform-tools folder and execute
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if your zenfone is detected. Close the command prompt.
Now, on the raw rom folder open flashall_AFT.cmd as administrator, then it should start flashing all of the stock firmware files. Once the prompt closes itself, reboot your phone using volume keys and power button to select.
In my case, right after booting, the phone displayed a message that said "your phone is corrupted" but with a wipe data option this time around. Choose wipe data/factory reset (all your data will be gone).
There you go! The phone should reboot into stock clean rom now.
