Cellunlocker.net horrible experience

Just wanted to let you guys know about my horrible experience with this company. Before the free unlock methods were available I had purchased an unlock code from them for $14.99 for my Rogers i337m. They had guaranteed it to work. Needless to say the code did not work. So they emailed back saying I would need an unfreeze code along with with the unlock code for $29.99. So I did that. The codes still did not work and I even proved it to them with a video which they requested in order for a refund. They did not update me with any information for two weeks. After countless emails, they decided that doing the free unlock method would work. By then i had already sold my I 337m and got an unlocked 9505. They refuse to give me a refund even though the code didn't work. They have horrible customer service and barely ever respond to emails. I've seen at least one other post on another forum saying the same thing.
Just letting you guys know that be wary of their services. Plus there are free ways to do the same thing now. They lost a few lifetime customers between me and my friends. I hope that was worth the $29.99 for them.

Thanks for letting us know we should all boycott jerk companies like this.

Not sure why this happenned to you, but i've unlocked every phone with them without any issue. Although there is something fishy here. Your unlock code, you claim to have cost you 14.99, mine was 24.99 for i337m. It worked the first time. Second, pay by paypal, next time a company charges you more than initially, just open a claim and you'll get you money back.

I haven't had a bad experience with them either. I've unlocked like 4-5 phones with them so far including my two GS4s. That too for $8 each only

Did you pay with paypal? If so, you could make a claim..

I used CellUnlocker.net as well, it cost me $24.99 for my I337 and I received a working code in under 5 minutes.

Something definitely isn't right here. If for some reason your phone didn't work with the code you entered, the other unfreeze code should have. It sounds like something is / was wrong with your phone. A few people that tried the "free" unlock method have screwed up their phones with the method and have been unable to use codes for sim unlock. However, you claim this was all done before the free unlock method?
Plus on the 29th of May you had this post in the "free unlock" thread...

Worked for me. Used T-Mobile sim in the states. Worked just fine. Maybe some work and some don't.

I thought you said you didn't try the method (you sold the phone first) and bought an "unlocked" I9505?
OP, can you clarify this story?

not sure what to say to you. i've unlocked about 65-70 iPhones, ~15 gs3 lte (for some reason the free unlock from service menu wasn't working, i think it's stk.apk, it appeard to be missing as they didn't open service menu), 15 gs2 lte, 20-30 BB including z10...i have yet to have a single issue with this cellunlocker.net.
and as you noticed you tried this long after the free method was posted....
and in case you are wondering those weren't my phones, i just unlocked them...
I've always used paypal too, in case.

I've never had a problem with them before either. That's what I'm saying. Lost a long time customer.
As for the free unlock method, in the other thread, that was for my girlfriends phone.
Nothing fishy here. I did use PayPal and there is a claim open.
I was stating MY experience with them. Of course others may have had codes that worked. I didnt. Which is why I sold that phone and just got an unlocked 9505.
Like I said, wanted to share my experience. I wouldn't knock a company for no reason.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Not in my case
I am a locked GS4 from fido and I paid 24.99 to get the unlock code from their website. Though the first method they suggested in the email didn't work, but the second worked perfectly. Maybe you just didn't read through their feedback e-mail and followed the entire instructions.

Awful experience with cellunlocker.net
Be carefull with Cellunlocker.net, they didn't comply with the refund policies.
I bought two codes with them, OrderID::xx4024 and OrderID::xx2763 and at the end the codes didn't work.
They start to send me some instructions to make the codes work but with no success.
Sometimes it seems like the person who answered my emails didn't know anything about my orders. They get me tired sending me the same instructions time after time and asking me for some videos with a "REFUND INSTRUCTIONS" as email header.
Once I realized we were going to nowhere I asked them for my money back as its refund policy in their website, I received nothing. I didn't receive an email with the reason to don't refund me.
I'm very disapointed with cellunlocker.net, they have attended a lot of people but my experience started very well but at the end it was completely awful.

I've never used unlock codes ever I only use unlock by software and USB and I've never had a problem.

I used them a couple of times and all the codes work. There shouldn't be any reason for it not to work as its pretty much impossible to send you faulty codes because of the way each code is unique to each phone. Anyway, if for some reason the codes don't work, you get back to them with your issue and if they give you a hard time, take it up with the payment processor (credit card, paypal) it will make things faster
Sent from Note 3 on Rogers

I've used them now on three different phones, and they all worked great. The only way it might not have worked is if you chose the wrong phone type.

Unlocked my fiance Bell Note 3 with no issues with this company.
From what I understand., sometimes you need to be on the stock firmware to be able to unlock.. My rogers s4 unlocked with no issues as well

Never had a problem with that company either
I unlocked my
Note 4 , note 3, S3 all from telus and also other phones for other people from that site without any problems.
It feels good to get the UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL message on my screen after punching in the code.
Awesome stuff!
Strange you went through that.

these guys are great too : swiftunlocks dot com - (notice the pleural) - used them twice for s5. Most s4 should be out of contract by now in which At&t will give you the code. OR there's software ways of doing it for the S4.

Sorry these guys failed me hard, I never got my refund back and I am going through a paypal chargeback with them. Never ordering from swiftunlocks

Have been using cellunlocker for years. Never had a bad experience. I even got my last unlock for free if I filmed it and posted it on YouTube

By "never had a bad experience" i meant I always had great service... If i ordered in their business hours I'd get my code within 2 hours, if not in the AM the next day. Also their prices were always very fair and codes always worked. Once I made a mistake in the IMEI and they were very nice and sent me a new one.

DON'T use cellunlocker.net. It took them about 4 days to come up with a code that didn't work. After being forced to upload several videos of me trying the unlock code and proving that my phone wasn't rooted or running a custom ROM, they still refused to issue a refund claiming my phone was modified. It's been 17 days and they still can't come up with a working code. Avoid them like the plague!

Works!
Cellunlocker.net worked for me, received working code within one day for my Samsung S9. I guess company may have evolved and improved their unlock process over the years.

Get the bootloader unlock codes soon !

The page is live again.
Just login below :
https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_detail
You can refer to the attachment.

All users who buy a new Huawei or Honor as of today will not be able to unlock the bootloader having the door closed to the installation of ROMs. For those smartphones already marketed there will be an unlock limit: 60 days from today, but it does not work anymore. We will see if the manufacturer ends up retraining and gives the freedom to change what you want, assuming the risk of damaging the mobile phone, which is why it is yours.
It is not good to leave aside the developers and the most mobile fans that are around. I do not understand why they have changed their mind, that someone explains why they think they have made this turn

Actually that's not all correct. Devices Huawei/Honor released after 5/24 will not be able to unlock bootloaders. If you purchase a device within the 60 day period you can still request an unlock code. If you buy a device after the 60 day period you won't be able to retrieve an unlock code.

Fatal error??
goes blank for a week or more

..
Is this a permanent decision ? Without the unlock codz, there is no way to flash custom ROM ? no anyway ? :crying:

that`s good to know...i was planning to buy a View 10 but not under These circumstances. If Huawei/Honor doesn`t let the customers decide, what to do with their device, i son`t buy their stuff.
It`s the same with Nokia btw....

Have to say as someone who bought a view 10 on day one, this is VERY disappointing to hear. I haven't done it yet as I am new to all of this and wasn't sure what to do. Guess I will have to unlock it now. Well, no more Huawei/Honor for me.

This is definitely my last honor or Huaweii product.

The unlock code is based on your IMEI, so you should be able to unlock the bootloader whenever you want. I took the code for my device just in case. I haven't unlock it yet.

I am waiting for you to fix the page to unblock the bootloader, before it went blank and now it lets you type your IMEI, product id, sn ... but when you send it does not do anything, it gives a verification error or ¿?, I don't know, the fact is that it still does not work

Just request it via email from any Honor Support site, Germany for instance sends them out. All they need is your IMEI and S/N
The email for the German support site: [email protected]
You should be able to write it in English, if you want to be on the safe side you can simply run it through Google translate and paste the German translation into your email too :fingers-crossed:

Thank you! Try todo send email to China support , because the Spain Support can't do It, they told me:
"We checked your IMEI and it shows the phone is from China. Unfortunately, we cannot give you the bootloader, code since we only provide them for the region of Spain or Europe. You'll have to wait until the website works again or contact Huawei China"
I asked for China email support and I can't to be able to find the email. I send one but I think that is not correct. :crying:

Right now he sent it where you told me because in Spain I was sent to China and the technical service of China does not answer. I've sent it to two or three sites that have been telling me.

Just be patient since they don't work on the weekend. I sent them the email on Sunday and had my code by Monday early afternoon :good:

Let's see if it's true. This error comes out on the page:

China page: "Your IMEI number is not linked to your account"
Have to wait!!
Thank you!!

Good mobile but very bad support if you bought in China, I do not buy anything from China.
From the support of Spain and from Germany can not do it, they send me to the Chinese support, which does not work (http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/service-center/).
Within a year or two hopefully, when they stop updating it, I will not be able to install a ROM. They think I'm going to buy another Huawei or Honor, but no.
The problem is that I do not like mobile phones with Notch or rear fingerprint, or rear glass because I fall quite.
When a brand says one thing and then another, it has no honor, it does not honor its brand

I bought the phone a few days ago and I have not tried anything of what they say, they are making me dizzy, it is complicated they put it.
I will have patience but I have my doubts of being able to get it.
I want to sell it but I like a phone that it comes without Notch, that it is made of metal, with Jack and with a fingerprint in front; there are not many mobile phones like that ... what could I buy with these features?
Huawei say that:
Dear xxxxx,
Thank you for contacting Huawei Support.
We are unable to send boot loader code via email and can only be obtained through our website.
If you would want to unlock your phone, you should meet the following conditions:
1. Please register your Huawei ID in our official website http://emui.huawei.com/en/ on your phone.
2. Log in and logout your Huawei ID continuously for 14 days.
3. Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than fifth time within 6 months.
If you meet the criteria, please go to https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_detail and click the 'download ‘button to login your Huawei ID other than any other third party ID to apply for the unlock code. Please contact us by mail or local service hotline as following if error message appears.
TEL: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=hotline
Mail: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email
Please submit your mobile model, SN, IMEI/MEID and error message in your e-mail. We also need to know that your phone is rooted, it can be out of the best working state and some of the functions may not be able to work normally. In addition, the system is vulnerable to be invaded by viruses once your phone is permitted to unlock. For the lack of testing, third party software may not be compatible with your phone. Unlocking will bring unexpected negative impacts and the device will be not normal, and cannot be restored, Huawei after-sales service office will not provide warranty service for your rooted phone, and you may bear the cost. So we strongly advise you to think twice.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you better. Please help us by taking a few minutes to tell us about the service that you have received so far. We appreciate your feedback and want to make sure we meet your expectations:

My bootloader unlocking journey

Hey, I got a new phone for Christmas, a Huawei P20 !
I'm very happy because my last phone was a moto G and I kept it about 6 years, it looked quite bad after all this time xd.
However I'm a big fan of tweaks and hacks, and the first thing I though after getting my Huawei was to root it. :laugh:
So I went on internet, hoping I would not brick my phone like the first time I tried on my moto G :fingers-crossed:... But I just saw that Huawei had stopped providing bootloader unlock codes.
I desesperately tried everything I saw to get this damn code, but I can't get it.
Some people talk about creating Huawei IDs with Honk Kong as location, but they actually don't ask your location on the sign up page so idk how to make it. Some people talk about programs where you can pay to get the code, but It is just ridiculous and I'm never gonna pay for something I should have free, and which seems to me to be a right.
I sent 2 mails to Huawei support as recommended in the sites I visited, but the only poor answer they gave me after a week was "the service has been stopped, we can no longer give you your code". I'm very deceived because root is a must for me on a phone.
Do you know anything that could help me? Is there any trick you know to get the code and that works, or did you understand the Honk Kong trick ? Thanks

it is really disgusting, it is the worst movement that huawei could do. I am in the same situation, the only thing you can do is to pay 30 eurs to a company.. that surely gets the codes from huawei and then unlock yhe bootloader! I called them, I emailed them and it was a total waste of my time. Moreover I have a **** Rom which is from Movistar provider. We are ****ed mate.

There are cheaper sellers online at only 19us$.
Check Global-unlocking-solutions.
That won't help OP who only want a totally free unlock method and won't buy from third-party party seller, as he thinks, as many, that is should be free of any charge.
It's not a nice move for huawei to did so...
But 20 bucks are not so much for a 400 bucks device, so if you want it rooted....

Exactly in the same boat as you, got the p20 for Christmas,after having a LG g3 for 4 years. Then I discovered it can't be rooted because they don't want to unlock bootloaders anymore...

This is a shame, I'm gonna go to a Huawei store near home and try to make them spit out my code lol. I'll also look for anything that could help to find the code ourselves. BTW, do you know who exactly seels codes? Are they companies or just hackers? If they are hackers, we are too so we could do that ourselves ahah

Just pony up €20, you cheap bastard!

Bootloader code reader

Hi folks,
So like many I am in the boat of wondering what Huawei's current future is and not wanting to wait around for any more bad news.
I have searched hi and low for a service that is actively providing bootloader unlock codes and have spoken to each and every one of them that I could find and all I have found are dead ends.
Logically speaking, these codes were being made/generated one of two ways.
1st - Someone who worked for Huawei was providing them and making money doing so.
2nd - There is indeed a way to generate them, with the right information.
The second seems to be the most logical answer truthfully, otherwise I could e-mail support and bribe someone lol. Anyways I refined my search to looking for bootloader code readers.
This came up - http s:// octoplusbox.com/en /products/huawei-tool/
( had to put weird spacing so that link would post, remove the spaces.)
Now if links are not allowed in here, then it is the Octoplus dongle that claims to be able to read bootloader codes for any Huawei device.
It claims to be able to
Supported Operations and Features*:
Read Info
Direct Unlock
Read Bootloader Code
Reset FRP
Reset Huawei ID
Factory Data Reset
Repair IMEI A/B
Repair Bluetooth MAC
Repair Wi-Fi MAC
Repair S/N
Repair Board S/N
Repair Vendor Code
Repair Country Code
I was wondering if anyone has encountered them? Has this worked? Its 90$ and truthfully if I knew it would work I would go for it, but I'm not dishing out that much money without knowing something.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I thought official service centers allowed the user to unlock their bootloader at their request.

As an update!
I spoke with several authorized Huawei Service centers and they said no they cannot specifically because they were authorized by Huawei to repair phones and that they could not alter the phone in that way.
With that being said, I spoke to someone who was on the level about unlocking the bootloader, and he recommended I call a place locally.
Spoke with their software guy and he said yes they can do it. I am going in to try and will update once I find out if he is for real or not.

Bootloader unlocking from Huawei will not happen again unless they get hit financially, which so long as people keep buying locked down devices simply won't happen..couple that with the bans in place and honestly I can't see it..
As with the bootloader code cracking. I'd say it's possible but you probably need a key which generates it, not sure if they'll ever be available..
The vast majority of p20 pro owners have either accepted it or moved on.
Shame as it's not a bad device.

Basically lol, or they are hoping that the ban will fall through and things will calm down.
I will update once I find out if this guy really can do it.
Other perk may be that if Huawei releases their own OS, they may unlock the bootloader, in theory it would require to.
Here is to hoping.

I am curious if that guy unlocked your bootloader.

So does the Octoplus Huawei Tool Dongle the OP has linked to actually give bootloader unlock code?

Well that was my question. I emailed them and have not heard back yet.

Something like that

It looks like the Octoplus Huawei Tool can't read bootloader code. I have checked https://octopusbox.com/eng/features/models but the CLT-series only support reset FRP lock. You can see this by hovering your mouse over (or tapping) the model.

I came to the same conclusion and pointed it out in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/funkyhuawei-bootloader-unlock-codes-t3936814
Hope people do not rush into buying this device before doing a bit of research...

Omg
Oh my god, such a suspense... Did you manage to get the unlock code ?
I am so desperate to find it. Hoped DC unlock client would manage to do so
but it failed pathetically.

Unfortunately for P20 Pro only "Reset FRP" feature is supported.

3 place you can buy boot loader unlock codes (June 7th 2019)

So all three players that used to provide bootloader unlock codes are providing them again after having no availability for months.
FunkyHuawei (price: $124 ) https://funkyhuawei.club/bootloader
Ministry of Solutions (price: $45) https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-service-all-new-models-new-firmwares
Global Unlocking Solutions (price: $45-50) https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
Get them while you can, seems as though availability may drop off at any point.

Anyone had any luck with these yet?

Talking to ministry of solutions now. I was under the understanding that the P20 pro (CLT L04) wasn't easy to do or just not doable. He and global unlocking solutions say they can though.

I'm in the exact same boat. Also with a P20 Pro. Waiting to hear back now.
Any updates I get I'll post here.

Do these guys all work together to submit the requests or how does this work?

Seems like Ministry of Solutions is only accepting "family and friends" payment through paypal. This is a well known tactic for scammers as buyers are unable to reverse the transaction.
Anyone have any past experience with this person?

It seems that these places have some contacts who either work for/contract for or something similar for Huawei, at minimum have access to the algorithm that provides the codes.
The fact that they all seem to come online/available at the same time then go offline/unavailable at the same time indicates that either a previous or new contact is willing to provide codes for money for some period of time.
We can be pretty certain they haven't cracked the algorithm as otherwise why would they ever go offline and why do they all come available at the same time with uncertainty about how long it's available for. We can only assume the contact is willing to sell codes again but eventually gets cold feet or caught leading to uncertainty of how long they will be available for.

Perfect logic. Agreed.
Huawei really needs to pull their finger out.
Perhaps whilst companies are offering the codes it was make logical sense to now ask Huawei if or when they may provide them again? Seeing as there is obvious demand for them.
Or perhaps Huawei are fully aware and is doing this as a test to see if it's a viable demand from their users.
So they allow 1000 unlocks and then they time it, to see how quickly they get consumed. That way they can project if it's something they should return to.
Tbh though those numbers can tell a very different tale Vs reality, kind of like failure rates with software roll outs in companies / firms, they base roll backs based on failure percentages and those thresholds are rarely hit but the problems are obvious and usually widespread. I think it's going to be similar with Huawei and their bootloader policy.
Can't see them going back, hopefully I'm wrong, seem to remember HTC doing the same thing when they blocked the One X. Great phone flawed with bootloader unlocks, eventually they reversed their decision and it hit them hard.

The price from funkyhuawei is a joke. ? I ordered from global unlocking solutions

You don't get even that price when you trade-in your Huawei P20 pro after Huawei ****ed up by Trump, Trade in value is around £50, Lol

Some places around me (Ontario Canada) will still give you about 375$ if they are in mint condition. But that will change soon....unless things change. Although Google has stepped up and said that Huawei would cause a bigger security risk by using their own OS, so who knows. A man can hope lol .

@Nort970 Any idea where I can get a trade in value of $375 in Ontario?

Downed by about 25$ now though. 350$ for it being in great condition.

Thanks a lot, are they reliable for trade in? Haven't done a mail in trade in before.

Quick update. I can confirm that Ministry of Solutions has provided me a working bootloader unlock code.

When did you order the code from him and how long did it take?
