Is the Huawei Sensa LTE the same as the Honor 5X?

[shonmac11]

I'm trying to figure out if this phone is rootable. Does anyone have any knowledge of this device?

It's not the same.

Do you know anything about the Sensa

 

[adriansticoid]

Do you know anything about the Sensa

Yes. And 5x is way better than that.

 

[shonmac11]

Yes. And 5x is way better than that.

I know that much and will possibly be purchasing one in a month or so. Do you know if the Sensa can be sim unlocked?

Most probably yes.

 

[shonmac11]

Most probably yes.

Can't find any website that will unlock it. Do you think you can possibly help me find a way to unlock it?

I've actually been working on this the past couple days. Got the unlock code from Huawei and got past the Google account verification that requires log-in only by the original Google account associated with the phone (that took some neat tricks to accomplish!), but I'm stuck on the fact that there doesn't seem to be a way to get to an actual bootloader screen. I can get adb and fastboot commands to work from different spots (stock recovery screen, boot options screen), and that's where I'm stuck. Gonna do a separate post in Q&A to see if anyone else has any ideas.

I have also been trying to root the sense would like to know how to

Bootloader

I used DC Unlocker paid 4.99 to get the unlock code. ADB see's the phone but says failed when you do the oem unlock with the number. No true bootloader. Ive been searching for days to find a work around with no success. The EMUI program doesnt have a regular boot loader like most phones and it makes this very difficult. Anyone find out why this is or how to get around it. Seems like the dont want you to unlock the boot loader.

There is no way the Honor is better than the Sensa by any means.

Have you tried holding the volume down then plugging in the usb cable?

Incorrect, the Honor 5x is superior to Sensa.

Anyone root this sensa yet ? $50 simple mobile is a great deal and its a very nice phone, a beast for that price. I seen root on cheap phones so i would think there has to be a twrp or root for this phone by now. This one is only 50 right now but acts and built like a 200 phone imho.

No root but possible bootloader unlock

All I need now is to get the product id and the bootloader can be unlocked
And I can confirm the phone does have a fastboot

Almost can't get my product id to unlock
I want to overclock my device it always has 800mb ram free and it runs like garbage

It is a great phone but it runs like crap on 800mb ram because of the system takes up the other half
