bootloader 707 will unlock phone automatically if start booting with ANY unsigned boot.img

I did so:

1. flash new 707 EMUI recovery from this archive (unpack & start .bat)
2. repack boot.img from 707 without signature (may take here)
3. flash fastboot_707 (here)

Code: 
fastboot flash boot <you path>\fastboot.img
answer must be:
sending 'boot' (4730 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... OKAY

4. reboot
Code: 
fastboot reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader... OKAY

5, flash boot
Code: 
fastboot flash boot  <you path>\boot-707-unsign.img
sending 'boot' (4730 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... OKAY

6. reboot phone
Code: 
fastboot reboot
rebooting.
..
in this moment (boot unsigned kernel) takes place Unlock
phone is started with new kernel (3.0.8-50)

7. back to fastboot
Code: 
adb reboot-bootloader

8. check the unlock
Code: 
fastboot oem get-lockstate
... INFOunlocked
OKAY

9. back to android and enjoy!
Code: 
fastboot reboot
rebooting...

Many thanks VKuk!!!
Where did you get the fastboot_707? (Flashing the b707 update.zip will do the job right?)
It works only by flashing a boot.img via fastboot, or it will work also by flashing it via recovery?

Need fastboot with signature, I extract from update.zip/update.app
Also, you can flash update.zip via recovery, but maybe you will need another unsigned boot for unlock
You may just remove first 0x7ff byte from any boot.img from stock rom or use DD copy from device.

I've noticed that after unlock, if you flash back a signed boot.img, the status is changed to "relocked" instead of just "locked", maybe it'll void the warranty!
PS: a little typo in vkuk instructions (thank you man!) -> fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img

Hi,

which update.zip/update.app ??? Can you write step by step pls ? :)

I did flash new 707 EMUI recovery from your archiv, but I found that this revovery does not have all commands for example wipe dalvik cache, mount system, card and format any etc.

I try flash for example HwDeskClock.zip to Batty ROM and recovery write Install failed - signature verification failed

When (and if) use warranty hardly have be possible to determine the status of the bootloader :)
Try again flash fastboot or other fastboot , although the probability is small, the status is not stored in it, but in nvm or hidden partitions

Its not a chinese recovery, its a stock recovery, you need chose genorecovery in menu for install not a huawei signed zip

Buddy! Why do you unlock if you do not understand what is fastboot?
This is for specialists, just for the proof the method.
When someone will build a new ROM with its own kernel, you phone unlocked automatically when you install a custom ROM.
Do not worry!

By the way, the backup function has a new recovery, but why is not visible
lang file fragment:
Code: 
backup.name=backup and restore
backup.title=backup to sdcard and restore from sdcard
backup.backup.name=backup
backup.restore.name=restore
advanced_backup.name=advanced backup
advanced_backup.cache.name=backup cache
advanced_backup.data.name=backup data
advanced_backup.system.name=backup system
advanced_backup.boot.name=backup boot
advanced_backup.recovery.name=backup recovery
advanced_restore.name=advanced restore
advanced_restore.cache.name=restore cache
advanced_restore.data.name=restore data
advanced_restore.system.name=restore system
advanced_restore.boot.name=restore boot
advanced_restore.recovery.name=restore recovery

tool.name=tool
tool.title=advanced tools
tool.key.name=key test
tool.time.name=timer setting
tool.battary.name=wip battary
tool.log.name=cope log to sdcard
tool.log.desc=are you sure cope log to 
tool.permission.name=fix permission
might be worth just wait..
and more - for the first time Huawei changed aes key in recovery, perhaps this can not be flash old stock ROM in this recovery

Custom Kernel?

Now that we have an unlocked Bootloader, somebody should start modifying the stock kernel with some performance tweeks (if possible :confused: )
For example:
-Overclocking
-Governors
-I/O Schedulers

i would be so happy to see them later on in a kernel :victory:

I would like to know how to unpack boot.img from update 707 and then repack.

I use the linux tools from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477845, it can unpack the boot-707-unsign.img ( and repack ) but it cannot unpack the original boot.img, it says 'Android Magic not found in ../boot.img. Giving up.'. I just want to make sure the tools are compatible.

Maybe the Window tools can do the job ?

In the beginning, remove the first 0x7ff byte of the file signature, from the beginning to the magical "ANDROID!"

    Okay, I bought the phone yesterday, and sincerely, I'm impressed. The hardware seems REALLY solid.

    Btw, I started the bootloader research. You'll get some news when I'll find something interesting... and in the meanwhile..... http://www.eternityproject.eu/page/...ternityproject-supported-device-huawei-ho-r22

    So, it's a long time, but I did it.

    EternityProject's CyanogenMod is ready to be downloaded, but remember: this is an ALPHA release and it DOES contain some bugs.
    The bugs will be solved ASAP and probably in order of importance.


    You can find our ROM here: http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/1107358-eternityprojects-cyanogenmod-101-for-huawei-honor-2/

    Rest In Peace my beloved G615

    Guys today is a sad day...
    Our phone (U9508) can't be boot-loader unlocked... Tried that today, at 1 AM and the phone died...:crying::crying::crying:
    Warranty here go!!!
    The procedure was made through CMD, flashing the little magic file that our great developer Kholk made ... and all went well until the moment of rebooting... It just didn't...:eek:
    Well I perfectly knew the risks and even so I've risked, it could have gone well but it went wrong, hell yeah, it was a really nice try with our friend Kholk "by my side" :highfive::good:

    For me for the moment no tries in new rooms :crying: just wait for an answer of the store and see if they give me a new one or a fix in my battle machine!!! That for the moment is on the machines heaven :angel:

    This once again, makes clear that unfortunately only Huawei has the power of unlocking the boot-loader...

    So for the ones that haven't done it yet " DO IT HERE " what are you waiting for???

    In the union there exists the power! :good:
