You asked whether the bootloader of my phone is unlocked and my response was yes. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough ;)

Yes, of course.

Should still be open after flashing

Recovery is a binary in boot, so yes.

I installed Magisk by flashing a patched ramdisk via fastboot.

Since there is no TWRP for this device yet, I was looking around for recoveries for other phones based on the same SoC. The only one to be found is a work-in-progress for the Honor 8X. Here's what has successfully been done: - install zip (I did a HuRu flash) - format / wipe - adb shell...

I don't think this will work for you then, sorry.

Did your IMEI / SN change? Most probably it did, unless you used a rebranding method that I'm not aware of. In this case this unlock code will not work.

The information is from gsmarena. They have been spot on with this kind of information the last times I checked. However, it seems like they're off with the G7. I just compared my variant with their information and it's off as well. Thanks for catching this! So in that case I can only think of...

Yep

To each their own. OnePlus is not an option for me for the simple fact that the phones are too large. As for the Pie update - I couldn't care less as I need Xposed :)

I'm aware of that. But at least there is something happening

I wasn't exactly serious about the carrier in my response to the other, semi-friendly post. Internet does work fine for everything else I did so far. I'm afraid factory reset doesn't really do much. Phone reboots into TWRP, which quits straight away and then goes into fastboot&rescue mode...
