How to root the european model (MT7-L09)?

Hey folks,
I'm living in Germany and just received my Mate 7. It's a great device so far but I need root.
I tried to follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-root-t2904604 . But unfortunately my model number (L09) isn't listed on Huawei's Bootloader Unlock Page and I can not bypass this by just selecting a similar number...
Is there an alternative way?
Thanks!

Sorry, I dont know how to root the device, but where did you order your device from?

I preordered it on Amazon.de in september...

Amazon.de still says It's not available yet though.

I guess that I got one of the few available units Amazon received from Huawei...
BTW: still looking for a root solution :/

Try the Honor 6 model.

Doesn't work. Getting Product-ID error every time.

Hi Piotrekk,
Hope you are enjoying your device. According to a Chinese page the MT7-L09 has dual sim function and the lte on the second card. Doesn't seem useful for Europe. Can you tell us the correct specs if that's not the case?

Your information is wrong.
The L09 model is silver, 16/2GB and single-SIM.

I'm in the same state like you, i've got my MT-L09 from rueducommerce (french) and don't find the correct product in the chinease huawei unlock page.
I thin'k we need to wait for huawei to add this model to the unlock page

I got mine from Saturn (germany) yesterday. What a great device! Hopefully we can get root soon. I mailed huawei yesterday but no answer yet

For european model root is avaible ... On a german forum, dont know if its allowed, to post here?
Edit:.
Okay, another XDA-member posted it here:

try it ~ it's worked !!

Hello guys,
if you mailed huawei, they will answer you in a few days that your model of mate 7 is not supported for unlocking. I have a Mate 7 L09 and wasted days trying to find a solution to root it.
What you have to do :
- get your product id, imei, S/N
- go on the huawei unlocking page
- fill in your information but chose "Y300-0151" in the product list, instead of the Y300-0000 as they say in the tutorial
it should work as it did for me and a few others on a french forum.
have a nice day

Even the attempt, according to the page it should work with all Huawei models.
"fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

Unable to root
I have problem with trying to root my phone. There is no possible way to get bootloader unlock code. I tried with huawei site, there is no MT7-L09, then I tried to send mail to huawei and ask them to provide me bootloader unlock code, and they answered that my phone is currently not supported, and then I tried that trick with huawei product ID generator with Y300-0000 and huawei site tell me something like a "PID is not valid... it should have 14 digits. Does anyone have some solution? Please help! :crying:

is bootloader unlocking official Huawei site working for u guys?

I am getting this message when I try to get the code for bootloader:
"Huawei ID use to apply is not been used for 14 days."
Can someone explain what is going on. I have used my phone with Huawei ID for a Month. But why am I getting this message?

Do you have Chinese model AL00? If yes, so it will be slightly difficult.

6. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
--NOTE: SOME OF THESE FEATURES NOT AVAILABLE ON P20 SERIES YET. SEE NEXT POST--
You do not need to unlock your bootloader, or void your warranty to use the service. (except the free rooting feature)
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service as well as our rebranding tool within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/exclusive-att-huawei-mate-10-pro-firmware/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
FunkyHuawei, due to popular request, is now offering an unlimited pass. You can break your phone all you want, and turn to FunkyHuawei to unbrick it however many times you need to. You can also install all the latest updates, beta versions, and so on, without worrying about spending credits. You can check out more details on FH's reddit or homepage.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Please be sure to read the terms of service as well as the instructions very thoroughly before using the tools, to understand the potential risks of using them.
FunkyHuawei can now offer bootloader unlock codes for all Huawei models (including recent models like P20, P20 Pro, Honor Play, and so on.)
These unlock codes can be provided for free to customers who purchase an unlimited pass from today.
See details from the link on the main page of the site.

P20 and P20 Pro Device Information.
Currently, here is what we support on the P20/P20 Pro series.
Installing new firmware/unbricking via eRecovery: SUPPORTED
Rebranding with unlocked bootloader: AVAILABLE NOW!
Rebranding with locked bootloader: COMING, MIGHT BE A WHILE
Unbricking from fastboot: COMING, MIGHT BE A WHILE
Since it is a new device on a new OS, some things have changed and we need to update some of our methods to fully support it.
Those who would like to test rebranding with an unlocked bootloader before we release it, please contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on recent Huawei phones (Sorry EMUI 8.1 phones not yet supported. Coming soon), to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!

We now have the following firmwares available to install with eRecovery method:
CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C432) - European
CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C636) - Asia/Pacific

Any chance we'll be able to unlock VOLTE for the North American market?

Yes, it's possible, but you'll need to unlock the bootloader.
Please contact funkyhuawei support by email and we can help you, as we have not released the tool to do it publicly yet.

Thank for the reply, just one more question before buying the unlimited usage membership. After Converting to Dual Sim , does the system show 2 IMEI or still only one ?
Thanks

Does this mean one IMEI share between 2 sim?

@duraaraa Can Funky Huawei contact Huawei to request the release of complete and up to date kernel sources, so that we may have custom rom and kernel development for the new P20 & P20 Pro Series ?

No... we don't have any contacts at Huawei to ask. AFAIK project treble will let custom rom development go on quite easily even without kernel sources.

Yes. But it's possible the phone has an internal secondary IMEI which it simply doesn't show on the settings. We haven't had a way of figuring out exactly how it works IMEI-wise, but both sims do work. It's been this way for generations of Huawei phones.

Huawei P20 Pro 6/64 CLT-AL01

Hello everyone
I got my Huawei P20 Pro 6/64 CLT-AC01 today in the mail.
It is locked to Chinese region, and doesn't has any of the gapps installed.
I looked for several hours through the forum and on Google today, and I can't find any way to flash a different region ROM to it (often referred to as Debranding)
Also, I read that Huawei canceled the option to unlock the bootloader - I tried it on several ways today and got to a 404 on the unlock page.
Could someone tell me how do I change the region of the device to a normal international one?
Thanks! Can't wait to start using this beautiful device.

Your last option might be funkyhuawei

Yours is uncommon one indeed. 90-99% P20 Pro out there is 6/128GB, yet you have 6/64

I talked to Huawei support in 3 countries.
They refuse to supply me with an unlock code and it looks like i'm stuck with this device

You probably got either a early test device or a fake one.

It's the Chinese P20 Pro is normal to have 64GB...
I was in the same situation, same model of phone, two weeks ago but I had luck getting the unlock code the last day. When the unlocked bootloader I could debrand the phone following the guide in this forum. As they won't give the unlock code, your only option is funky or dc-unlocker when they support the phone. Also I found an indian guy that maybe could do it, his webpage is called ministry of solutions . But I don't know if it is reliable.
Good luck

Do you have any updates on your case so far???
How did it end?
Did you decide to learn chinese in the end or how did you resolve it??? *smile*
As far as i know theFunkyHuawei have that model listed as "CLT-AL01C00" or is this a different one??
