Just insert a sdcard and place the dload folder containing the update.zip then. Is it recognised in fastboot? Then why don't you flash LineageOS to make the phone usable for a while.
There is another option. Get the update. app and extract it with huawei update extractor. Then go into fastboot and flash ramdisk, kernel and everything you can flash from that.
Example: fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
Didn't quite have time for helping more.
Thanks for helping I already fixed my Phone by Flashing the Kernel.img from Stock rom of ATU-L21! works like a charm! the only problem is the charging light doesn't work but everything is fine.

That is weird, I patched my own stock ramdisk.img via magisk but it doesnt work. I dont know how and why his patched ramdisk.img worked on mine

Thanks!
Does adding google account works on your phone? because everytime I add its just says "Couldn't sign in" and it took forever to load, same on any google apps like Gmail all of mails loads forever. I already tried deleting the "Hosts" file from the root of the phone but no luck at all. :confused::confused:

I was thinking it was the kernel.. Also about your other problem with Google, other users had it using Lineage 15.0.

Ung akin gumana naman kaso di ko ma add ung mga google account ko sa mga Google apps kaya ni reflash ko ung stock ramdisk.

I do not even know why I can not add my google accounts to Google apps so I reflash my stock ramdisk.

Well even on stock EMUI the google problem is still there :/

How to root your Y6 2018.
Tutorial for complete noobs:


Go into your phone. Go in developer settings (Tap the build number 7 times if you didn't do that yet).
Enable usb debugging and OEM unlock.
Now plug your phone into your PC via a usb cable and install hisuite on your PC.
Install Minimal adb and fastboot from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Now unlock your device and in minimal adb and fastboot type:
Code:
adb devices
Accept any dialog that show on your phone's screen.
After that type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
If your bootloader is unlocked then you should be able to flash the Magisk patched Ramdisk.
If its not then you can't root your device with this method.
To unlock your bootloader go to: https://www.emui.com/en/unlock_index
And get your bootloader unlock code. 22 July is the last day to get your code if you didn't get it yet.
If you didn't get your bootloader unlock code until then, then you will have to use DC-Unlocker or other paid methods.
After you got your code, while in fastboot, type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxx
[xxxxxxxxx = bootloader unlock code]

Place the patched Ramdisk in the folder you installed Minimal adb and Fastboot.
After you did that you should paste the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
Press the thanks button if i helped;)

Hello! I'm trying to build a custom kernel. I downloaded the source code and I managed to fix compilation errors. Looking at the dts files it supports ATU-Lxx.
I get an Image.gz-dtb and use android image kitchen to extract kernel.img (dev/block/by-name/kernel) and replace the zImage file. However, it doesn't even boot?

lock bootloader

How to root your Y6 2018.
Tutorial for complete noobs:


Hello,
I am a noob I followed your step by step but my bootloader is lock.

Everytime I launch Minimal adb the connection with Hisuite gets lost (I have enable usb debugging and OEM unlock)
Magisk is not installing even after I patch the img ramdisk.
Also when I click on your link "To unlock your bootloader go to:" it's 404 page.

Thanks for your help

Already told there that that page will be gone. As huawei doesn't provide unlock codes anymore. You will have to use paid unlock (DC-Unlocker/HTU-Client)

OFF Topic.
