I could not find an recovery for Huawei Y6 2018 but I may tell you this:
You may unlock your bootloader and root your device.
How you may root it?
Get the boot.img of your model (you may get it extracting an update.app for your model)
Install Magisk Manager on your device and patch that boot.img
After that go to your PC, make sure you have usb debugging and OEM unlock enabled from dev settings on your phone and install "minimal adb&fastboot 15 sec installer" or something like that and put the patched boot.img in the folder of minimal adb and fastboot.
Now shutdown your device and after that press power and volume down for about 5 seconds and connect the usb cable ( that usb cable should be connected to PC). Now your device should go into fastboot. Now type fastboot devices(In minimal adb and fastboot console). It should show you an number, if nothing shows up then its not good.
If it shows up type fastboot flash boot boot.img
You are done. This may go wrong and may hard brick your device, don't blame me for that.
This requires your bootloader to be unlocked, to unlock it you need to get the bootloader unlock code from huawei, put your phone into fastboot and type fastboot oem unlock (code)
If I helped, the thanks button works well
So basically download this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Get the update.app for your device.
The update.app is basically the Stock Rom for your device.
Search google to find it.
Now extract huawei update extactor into an folder. And run the exe. (The link i sent)
And now you will select the update file (update.app) and you should see some .img files, now you may extract all of them, but select the system.img and boot.img and right click on your mouse. You will see the option Extract selected.
Now wait until it extractes itself.
If i helped press the thanks button

I've tried installing TWRP using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That failed.
Then I used fastboot flash recovery/ramdisk recovery.img
Succes… But then its impossible to boot into TWRP. It automatically jumps to eRecovery.
Huawei Y6 Prime 2018 ATU-L21

And I don't know if 'there is a custom Rom available from other devices that are compatible with this one.
Build number ATU-L21 8.0.0.100(C423)
EDIT: Google search gave me this
To find stock rom for ATU-L21. Search for Atomu-L21
They are the same.

Hm. Treble made some things different.
Also what recovery you wanted to flash?
I could not find any for Huawei Y6 2018 so you may hard brick your device if you use one for Y6 2015 etc.
I've tried flashing serveral twrp's. ClockWorkMod is definitely a no go. Then there is a mate10 tool. Tried that. Nothing. It says bootloader locked. While frp and bootloader are both unlocked.
I'm not worried about a hardbrick. It was a gift. So just toying around.
Found a stock firmware on easyfirmware.com . But they make you pay. So nope.
I'll just keep on googling until I find something that will work.
My coding is nill. So.... Hope and pray.
Well well well. If you tried to flash clockworkmod or twrp to your device, Huwei Y6 2018, from Huawei Y6 2015 that means hard brick lol, what were you thinking. See the description of the thread lul. You could have hard bricked your device, there are no custom recovery's for Huawei Y6 2018. So be more carefull, clockword recovery is already oold so there was no reason to be for an device from 2018.
I see. Its been a while since I've played with Android. So my bad. Been just a week playing around again.
I have managed to boot TWRP but it cant mount partition so got stuck in a twrp boot loop. i had to flash another recovery to be able to get to erecovery and boot.
ps: tried to root, dint work!
ps: tried to root, dint work!
May you send me the erecovery so i may check if i can port TWRP propretly?
Thanks
how do i extract the .img from my device ? I cant find any tool for snapdragon
If you can boot into Twrp then boot into it and try to make an Nandroid Backup of stock Recovery.
I paid to download the stock rom. Downloading now, probably just got scam.
Seriously?
Hopefully you don't get scammed.
You may send me the erecovery if its not an scam
You can extract it via Huawei update extractor.
here you have !Seriously?
