Hi to everyone, I want to know if there is a custom ROM for my Honor 5X KII-L23, the last year I realized that Huawei has blocked all its devices for this model and need a code to unlock it, but that code is not given anymore by Huawei, is there a way to flash a custom ROM?
Thanks beforehand

What are the chances that this device will get TWRP and Root?
Not that I know... But this seems to be the best android tablet around now considering the price. Furthermore, its born with Android 8, which means it will be treple enabled thus the adaption of vanilla Android or others should be easier. Likewise, this should also improve security patches. I hope that someone will bring it.
Any progress of Rooting the HUAWEI MediaPad M5?
I want to buy it cuz my old Pixel C is sadly broken, but I wanna wait till it gots Root and Custom ROM:
@Marcopoloy13 I am in a similar situation as I would like to retire my old Nexus 7 (2012) and I am quite optimistic that TWRP will be available quite soon, as there is a device tree for the Honor 9 available and the Mediapad M5 sports the same SoC ...
As I am receiving my Huawei Mediapad M5 PRO next week, I wanted to look for root ... Is Huawei known to make a fuzz about root in case of sending it in for repairs etc. (I have a Samsung-past, friends of mine had issues with their support due to root ... ) ?
I am very new to Rooting, i just want to get linux deploy on this tab to install Debian. I have unlocked the bootloader the rooting is very hard.... i have no clue to what i am doing and was following the guide on this awesome forum but the imaging and so forth is not somthing i understand.
i have the CMR-w09 (non pro)
Unlock the bootloader?
How did you unlock the bootloader? I tried the “Huawei unlocking page" mentioned at Kingoapps website, but it didn't find anything about unlocking or bootloaders.

For any WIFI only device, contact Huwaei via Phone (they rarely answer mails, so dont write one), explain the problem using their site (WIFI only device, therefore no IMEI etc), provide them your tablets serial number and let them send the unlock code via mail to you. Takes usually two business days until you have the unlock code.
hey guys , did anyone try OpenKirin's Roms ?
8x is in the supported device list and i was wondering if anyone who unlocked the bootloader tried it?
here is the link

Actually it does not eveloped yet
Honor 8X rom
Personally I think you can forget about any custom rom for Huawei/Honor device, there is no developer community since they charge $55 for bootloader unlocking.
Hi,
I am new to custom roms and have a Huawei mediapad tablet T1 on which I wanted to install custom rom, but I discovered that I need code for unlocking bootloader, which isn't provided by Huawei now directly, but paid codes are now provided by third parties. Is it still possible to get these codes for free?
If not, then I plan to buy a new tablet, allowing custom rom installation. Can you please recommend which tablet manufacturer or tablet model is most friendly for such custom roms installation?
Looking forward to your response.

If you're looking for tablet for installing custom roms, it is bad idea)) Now, no one wants to do custom roms for tablets, because iPad exists)) But if you dont care, you can buy Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (30+ roms for this device), or Xiaomi PocoPhone F1 (20+ roms for this device). But, if you are really need android tablet for Custom ROMs, buy Samsung tablet, cuz, now it is the most popular tablet manufucturer from android world.
sorry for late answer):silly:
By the way, sorry for my language, im ukrainian))
UPD: There's no way to get unlock code for Huawei Bootloader. Exists unofficial methods, but better no try))
Hi All,
I've recently purchased a Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4 tablet, wit the default EMUI interface.
The device has recently upgraded from Android 8 to 9.
I'd like to install a custom ROM to see the differences in speed as well as reducing the amount of bloatware on the device.
Can anyone point out any available ROM's for the device that are tested and fully functioning?
I've read about Lineage OS but as far as I'm aware this is stuck at Android 8 level.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Did you receive a bootloader unlock code and did you unlock your bootloader? Otherwise you cannot install any custom ROM on your device.
Hi AndDiSa,
I've not been given any codes unfortunately. I bought the tablet from Amazon, boxed and new.
Is this code something I can obtain from the manufacturer, as it will still be under support and warranty?
Thanks

Sorry, but Huawei stopped giving away unlock codes more than 1.5 years ago. I doubt there is an easy way to get it nowadays .
Dear Friends
I have bought a Huawei Mediapad T8 and I am trying to find a custom ROM to flash it. Unfortunately there is nothing on Cyanogenmod site.
If anyone has any reference site where I can find ROM s for this model please share it with me.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
Mediapad T8 has android 10 - so it can be part of Project Treble since it is 8+ - it means, you can flash GSI (generic system image) of many of custom roms and no need for certain full rom.
But, I guess, you will need to unlock bootloader and got permissive kernel and probably need to remove encryption for user data before got bootable custom rom.

Dear Friend
Thank you very much for replying to my thread. I admit that it is the first time that I heard about GSI (Generic System Image). I am looking for a custom rom so I can use the Play Store that is now missing from most Huawei devices. Unlocking bootloader is not so hard , I can get the code from Huawei in 7 months from now. Dealing with the GSI is something that I can not manage to be honest. I will wait for a custom rom. Thanx again.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Actually there are more than 10 Custom ROMs available:

Dear Friend
Thank you for the link. Which one is for Huawei Matepad T8? I can't find anything.
Please help

@coa00kt
Take note that any Android OS ( Stock ROM and/or Custom ROM ) you intend to install isn't device's model/brand dependant, but on device's CPU architecture. Almost all Android device's are powered by an ARM CPU.
Dear Friend
I am a noobie. Which ROM do you suggest for Mediatek MT8768 chipset (Octa-core 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.50 GHz Cortex A53)?
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Can't recommend any because I never used a Custom ROM: I have reasons for this.
Dear Friends
The main reason that I am looking a custom ROM is the advantage of using "Play Store". Otherwise Huawei Android 10 is just fine. Please help me find something that will work 100%. Otherwise I will stay with Huawei Android 10.
Thanx again

Dear friend,
In the meanwhile you can use GPStore alternatives like Aurora store or ApkPure or ApkMirror for apps that can not be found on Huawei's AppGallery.
On the other hand, you can install about 8 to 10 apps from Huawei phone/tablet (before US sticky fingers) in the form of backup and restore them to your tablet. Tutorial like this is simmilar for all phones. Also found some backup on GDrive for HiSuite or usb restore.

Hello Friend
I have installed APKPure , it is very usefull. About 80% percent of the applications are running fine. Unfortunately about 20% require the Google Play Services. I will stick to this solution until Huawei provides me the Bootloader Code (After 12 Months) and a custom rom is created .

Hi
You can just flash GApps pico. It installs Play Store and Google Service.
Do you know if Google apps pico require an unlocked bootloader? What is the process? Do I have to install custom recovery?
Hello.
Please, can someone extract the original apk from the notes and post here? I accidentally deleted mine and now I can't find it. Thanks.
Hi there, i managed to install a google account and a working playstore via this youtube tutorial, and google services is working outside of an irritating notification which you can turn off.

The only thing is i don't know if i can upgrade firmware with out losing google apps again i'm on firmware 10.0.1
How to unlock the bootloader?

i wouldnt recommend installing a custom rom that is not specifically for your device, especially if you are a noobie. the devices appart from the SOC have many components that require specific drivers. in any case, you have to be extra carefull in following the instructions otherwise ou ll end up with a brick. your best bet is to find a recovery (again for your device) and flash open gapps.

But huawei doesn't provide bootloader unlock codes anymore
Is it possible to root Matepad T8 ?
I think you no longer need Custom ROM to use GApps into this device. I have bought this device few days ago and found a way to run GApps. Just open Huawei AppGallery and look for "GSpace", it will solve GApps issue.
