Because honor has stopped providing bootloader unlock code and hence the development is complicated and also the rooting and other stuffs. It used be simpler for developers to unlock and play with system to develope many things for us but not anymore my friend.
Honor is giving unlock code through their service center and i personally comformed it by calling service center also this news is confirmed by xda. So i hope development start soon.
I personally don't think so. Only Honor India is giving bootloader codes, and based on some XDA threads only some service centers give codes, others refuse. So only some developers would be able to get bootloader unlock codes, and I don't think that will be enough to start development. Obviously I wish I am wrong about this, so let's see...
A couple months ago, I personally went to a local Huawei official service center in my city, and I spoke with the manager and explained I wanted a bootloader unlock code for development, and he had no idea what I was talking about and said he couldn't help me. So much for that.
Did you find a solution? I also have 8.2.0.150 and I don't want to purchase an unlock code if I won't be able to root it.
TWRP certainly would make rooting a lot easier, but you can root without it i.e using Magisk via patched bootloader. I'm hoping for updated Kirin/Honor8x TWRP. If anybody has more info and knows devs behind the TWRP that we already have that would be welcomed.
@yshalsager was the one from Twrp Builder who helped me get the image that I used in this guide. He put me in contact with @hackintosh5, who said it was made by @Pretoriano80. If you like, you can try contacting them on Telegram or here on XDA.
I have figured it out why I was getting the partition error when trying to flash recovery_ramdisk, I had to relock and oem unlock again:
I did not try, I assumed it would work. I can confirm that twrp-kirin.img works ok even on latest .150 update, granted you need an OTG USB cable and mouse as there's no touch support yet.
Don't hold your breath, the modding scene for newer Huawei/Honor devices is pretty much dead, since July of 2018 (the day they stopped providing bootloader unlock codes). They don't release source codes either.
I tried flashing AOSP 9.0 Phh-Treble by phhusson on my Honor 8x before I semi-bricked it, unfortunately no boot. I'm hoping support will get added to Phh-Treble, also maybe OpenKirin folks will get around adding support for Honor 8x at some point.
Our only hope is by contacting phh treble support
Well one of the admin of phh-treble telegram group told that it should work and to file a proper bug report on their group can you do that??
