I know many have tried to get this thing unlocked with successes that seem to only be in pre-purchased devices, but recently I got a sim-unlock code for my D6616 straight from TMo, and, well I submitted the IMEI to sony dev-world and Sony sent me an unlock code. Problem? Slapped by the bootloader unlock not being allowed. Is there a way to strip firmware and find where the modification for this is so I can barely modify it and make it just say "hey, this is unlockable"? Is there a way to make it THINK T-Mobile is yelling "Unlock yourself" and have it magically "unlockable"? The thing that sucks is I feel like I am SO CLOSE to having this thing finally unlocked, ready to go, but I just got REKT. Any ideas besides hoping,praying, and/or giving up? I don't think this is in the wrong place, but please help me out if I screwed up.
I think that you have to send it to a Sony repair center. I emailed Sony asking them to change that status to allow unlocking the bootloader, with the sim unlock code. It works like a repairment under warranty, so there is no cost. The only problem is that you have to wait a few days. But there's no other way I think
I think you will find that there is no way to change it from No to Yes, and this has been the case in Xperia devices for about 3-4 years now

IT'S possible. I have done it and some other users from a Spanish forum. It's not difficult at all. You just have to wait a few days.

Please can you give us a solution if you have done it? I have been waiting years for this feature

This is the email I sent to sony support center (it's translated with google, from spanish, I haven't much time)
Good afternoon.
I own a Sony Xperia Z1 which has no permanence with no operator and possess the unlock code unlocking
I therefore ask unlocking FastBoot that would change the "Rooting Status: Bootloader Unlock Allowed" YES to have the same privileges as LIBRE a terminal and then power if you wish to apply in your web opening Bootloader and apply root, which now it is impossible for me above limitation should obviously not already have terminal not having any permanence.
For this I facilitate my data terminal:
IMEI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SimUnlock Code: Code release:
NCK: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SPCK: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
NSCK: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CCK: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Model: Z1 XPeria
Phone number: xxxxxxxxx
Without further ado, receive a warm greeting and await your response.

Then I phoned them, arranged the collection with no cost, as If I have needed to repair it, and seven days after I get my phone back with its bootloader ready to be unlocked.
If you live in spain, you can send to Sony center. If not, im sorry, you can not.
I searched a lot of threads here. I want to install MT7-TL10_B561_Kangvip_v3, but first I need to unlock bootloader. I tried three weeks ago, and got this message on Huawei Website:
The Huawei cloud account used to apply for the unlock code is not logged in for more than 14 days on this phone!
I tried today, and still get same message. I can't login from my phone for some reason. I downloaded Huawei_Product_ID_Generator, but Huawei Website still says that 14 days haven't passed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks, Nikolas60, but it's the same notification even with new account. I guess I just need to wait. I read bootloader unlock for newbies, but find it quite complicated.

No, man. But I wished I paid attention in high school.
I followed this post and got bootloader unlocked.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/info-how-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3277758
I cannot get the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. When I fill out the phone info form I get the error "SN and IMEI are mismatched." I've tried both IMEI1 and IMEI2.
Is this because it is the US version? Is there another way to unlock the bootloader?
I am having the same issue. I am very disappointed that they would lock the bootloader on a non-carrier branded phone. I am unable to port certain app data without root which is making it very hard for me to justify keeping the phone vs returning it and going with another brand where root is obtainable.
I'm getting the same error. I emailed them last night about it and just got a reply a little bit ago. They told me that Huawei USA does not provide bootloader unlock codes. Since they're apparently refusing to provide codes for the US version, does anyone know another way to get one?

I doubt that it will work and will ultimately result in a bricked device. Per the FunkyHuawei website:
"Warning: EMUI 8.1 devices are not yet supported. EMUI 8.0 and below only for now."
There is also a warning about the USA version of the Mate 10 (Different phone but same idea) and trying to re-brand to another region.
Rebranding it is not possible (It's an EMUI 8.1 device) and will not help.
I'm highly ticked over this, I'd never bought this phone if I'd known you couldn't unlock it and root it!!!

I am right there with you. I keep trying different departments at Huawei in the hopes someone will provide the bootloader unlock code. I wish the OnePlus 5T (8GB/128GB) was still available b/c I would return this phone and get that one instead. I only bought this one b/c that one was no longer being sold and this phone seemed like the next best choice. They need to have a disclaimer on their store site if they don't intend to allow unlocking for a specific region regardless if they present the option upon logging into my account with them.
That is b/c you didn't register your country as United States. I know this b/c of the URL of the website you used to log into. If you had, you would have been prompted to be redirected to a different site as it won't let you log into that specific URL if you registered with United States. I attempted to register with a different country using another e-mail account but since I already attempted using both IMEI numbers under my United States account it was logged as being not allowed already.
This is Huaweis official reply to this problem!

Does emui allow booting with encryption disabled? As i understand it currently, official twrp is the only one working right now for the US model but can't decrypt data. Trying to decide if i should just cancel my order as nothing seems to be supporting the US version very much

Awesome on the mod. I was going to do it myself but wanted to know if it was even worth my time as some stock firmwares just don't boot without encryption. Good to know this one does. Where's your mod by the way? ?[emoji38]

Anyone able to help? The official Huawei BL unlock page is 404, and I can't get HCU client to launch.
Take a look at the Mate 10 Forum, question is also beeing discussed there (including solution)
As nobody knows if or when the unlock page will come back i would advise you to contact the huawei support (european) for getting your unlock code, i got mine this way - It is not an instant option, the code will take "up to 7 days" to arrive...
The European unlock page is working

Hello,
I got it on the phone and he clearly told me that he was no longer providing the unlock code for their phone as of July 27, 2018.

you only need to install teamviewer on the PC, I will do the rest myself, it will take 10-15 minutes of time.
There is no other way except installing the bootloader from the engineering version v35.
The loader is needed only for unlocking and installing root, tvrp.
After the unlock, the bootloader can be returned to G7, but the fastboot commands will not work.
You do not need to know Russian, with the help of a translator from Google, write me in QMS or in the mail that you want to unlock the bootloader, we will agree on the time, I will do everything myself, you will only watch the process

Wow excellent. I would love to do it over the weekend. So if i understand correctly this process involves flashing bootloader from v35 for unlocking purposes yes? You said that after unlock of the boot we can go back to stock G7 via KDZ but will loose fastboot commands however the bootloader will remain unlocked? How do we then root/flash twrp to device once going back to stock? What is the best way to reach you for chat?
