HONOR 8X MAX root

[nyceyes]

Hello Friends:

There isn't an HONOR 8X MAX forum, so I have to post here (for now).

Recognizing that there are non-trivial differences between the HONOR 8X and HONOR 8X MAX, does anyone know if a root solution is soon coming for the HONOR 8X MAX?

For a long time I lived happily Ad-free on my NEXUS-6 (which is still going strong as a backup phone), but I really need root on my 8X MAX.

Sadly, I don't have those kinds of skills to do it (or else I would for all to benefit).

Any ideas, rumblings, thoughts?

Thank you (and happy holidays)! ??

There is a way to do it, just look in this forum as there is a root solution already if you don't want to use it, you can always use adguard for example, as it works quite well

I'll have to look harder because I couldn't find one for the 8X MAX, only the 8X. If you have a URL for it, I'd appreciate it. If not, no worries. Thank you.

P.S. I'm trying to avoid ads in apps in addition to the browser. Not that I'm selfish... I nearly always buy ad-free versions of items (including reasonably-priced yearly subscriptions) to support developers. But some apps don't offer that option.
(._.) Not to get off-topic, I'll welcome Root + AdAway again. Thanks.

Hi... I have the ARE-AL10 model. From your signature, yours may be a ARE-AL00 model (I suspect). I think it may be Snapdragon 660 versus 636. I don't know if it makes a difference?

I guess there's no root -- so far/ to date -- for HONOR 8X MAX.

These are great phones at value prices (unlike the $1,000/yr. upgrade treadmill that Samsung would like to continue).

But we do need ROOT to overcome oddities with Chinese phone builds (i.e. Huawei, Xiaomi) - several of which are not trivial and really problematic. :-/

Would the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro root/twrp work with The honor 8x max ?

If you are just look for adblocker you can get it even without root
use Blokada ad blocker it doesnt require root.

Thank you. I find that these no-root ad blockers don't work well within Apps (and what gets through varies from app to app), including Blokada which I tried. Also, I require root for other reasons. Thank you for the tip, though.

Thank you for that link. I might have to wait for that one to mature (iterations). It's hard to gauge all the challenges and pitfalls after translation. Did you install it?

Really like the big screen but no 4g lte issue is killing this phone. We need to root it.

This TWRP works to flash magisk it's just the backup feature doesn't work,I wish shao would help with the backup thing I've tried everything on Google to get it to backup stock rom but I get 255 error non stop cause I think it's having issues backing up encrypted data

Hi:

Which TWRP and instructions for installing it are you referring to? I would like to read how to install it. Thank you.

You have to register with 4pda and believe me it's a pain in the ass to figure out the captha because it's all in Russian,if shao would post a link to a non Russian site would be great but he still hasn't yet

Ah okay, thank you. I think I visited the same site you're mentioning and stayed away because, being in Russian, could lead to mistakes and brick the phone. ?

Forgive my ignorance, you mentioned "Shao". I don't know who that is. Did he create the 'root'? Thanks again.

 

[hopkins31]

Yeah he made TWRP compatible with 8x max

Thank you. I guess I'll (we'll) wait more, and if I (anyone) finds new developments, share them here.
