How to Unlock the Bootloader and Root the Honor 7X

Before you can root your Honor 7X or install a custom recovery, you’ll want to unlock your bootloader. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to get the unlock code for your device and how to use ADB to unlock your bootloader.

Backup your data first. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the data on your Honor 7X.

Get your unlock code

Go to this website and create an account
Go to Downloads > Unlock Bootloader
Fill out the form with the S/N, IMEI, product code and model number
Your unlock code will be shown on the same page, at the bottom of the form

Turn on USB Debugging and OEM Unlock

On your Honor 7X:
Go to Settings > About
Tap on Build Number seven times
Go to Developer Options
Check Enable OEM Unlock
Check USB Debugging

Unlock VIA ADB

If you haven’t installed ADB yet, see this thread for instructions.

Plug your phone into your computer VIA USB
Type the command ‘adb reboot bootloader‘ and hit enter.
Once in bootloader mode, type ‘fastboot oem unlock [unlock code]‘

This warning will show on your screen when booting your device, once your bootloader has been unlocked.

If you see this warning when your phone reboots, then you have done everything correctly.
