Bootloader unlocking and rooting method for honor 4x : Step by step

First of all usb debugging should be on in phone (settings>about> tap multiple times on build number to unlock developer option> now go to settings>developer option> set usb debugging on). And don't forget to backup your data (contacts,messages,photo,video etc.)

#STEP 1 : INSTALLATION OF ADB DRIVERS:
Download the adb drivers and follow the method shown in this video http://www.youtu.be/RDA8PpPSFuk

#STEP 2 : GETTING THE UNLOCK CODE FOR BOOTLOADER :
u will need these
1. IMEI-1
2.S/N (serial number) ...These both are found on removing backcover,written on unremovable battery.
3.PRODUCT ID (Dial *#*#1357946#*#*)
4.MODEL (settings>about)

Get bootloader unlock code on huawei website. http://ift.tt/1QD0mU0
go to download tab>unlock bootloader>register to make account or sign in with facebook id.
After entering the details of phone you will get 16 digit bootloader unlock code. save it.

#STEP 3 : UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER :
Download the adb & fastboot folder.
Connect phone to computer in fastboot mode (switchoff>press & hold volume down key and connect to usb cable>phone will vibrate>release the volume key).
Now open the command window in adb & fastboot folder (Open adb & fastboot folder > Press and hold the Shift key and press right click on mouse to open option menu and select "Open Command Window Here").
In command window type "fastboot oem unlock 11111111111111" (without quotation, where 1111111111111111 is the unlock code you got from huawei site) and press enter. (do not delete anything in command window, start typing from just where the cursor is showing). This will do the unlocking of bootloader.
Now type in command window "fastboot reboot" to reboot the phone. After rebooting, unplug the phone from computer.

#STEP 4 : ROOTING THE PHONE :
I have tried several methods but no one succeed. I tried rooting through kingroot phone app but that too failed. But I rooted my phone successfully with kingroot desktop software (download it from www.kingroot.net ). There is no need to install superSU after rooting through kingroot.

#STEP 5 : FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY (TWRP) :
Download the new_lp_twrp_recov.img file and keep it inside adb & fastboot folder. Connect phone to computer in fastboot mode. open command window and type "fastboot flash recovery new_lp_twrp_recov.img". Recovery will be flashed. Now enter command "fastboot reboot" to reboot the phone.
