Hello,
I'm writing today to get more informations (if anyone know, obviously) about the actual bootloader status.
I just bought a Huawei P20. It's a good device, before wanting to root it.
As you know, the bootloader 16-digits number is no more acquirable thanks to our deer and beloved Huawei company, this means that you can't root your device since may, and not only the P20, also other huawei and other devices. :victory:
I think this decision is really anoying : I buyed an android device to be the master of my device, if I did not want, I would have bought an apple device... But it's like they can't assume Android...
That's why I write, to ask, first, if the bootloader unlock is definitely dead, or is there hope ?
If Huawei don't get the bootloader back, do you think someone of the community can release a way to root the device ?
I almost want to refund the phone because of this...
Thanks
DC Unlocker still offers codes. It'll cost a few bucks, though.

Really? Which device do you have and which version of DC Unlocker are you using that fully supports the Huawei P20?

I unlocked my P20 the official way, while it was still possible.
I used DC Unlocker (can't remember which one) to unlock a friend's Mate 10 Pro.

I checked, apparently the P20 is not supported by DCUnlocker 1.00.1403 (Latest version)... I could be wrong

I wonder if I can now sell my P20 on eBay at twice the price of a new one, just because I have the BL unlock code for it.

To be honest, though, this device is perfectly usable unrooted, as long as you can live with ads.

I bought it with my phone plan, so if i try to give the phone back they would make me buy another phone that i don't want like s9 or something...
Maybe someone will release something to unlock bootloader without the site ? Nah ? Please give me hope...

Getting my phone on Saturday or Monday and I want to root it right away. Does anyone know if this is a legit way to root my phone?
http://rootkhp.pro/how-to-root-huawei-honor-9/
I dont think so. They even have page for Honor 10, which dont event exist yet. LoL
What model are you getting ? If it's ST-AL10 then there's one chinese web out there has working tool to root it, but it need to be on B123 version as well,
I guess i'll just simply wait for TWRP to be available
Hopefully huawei will be as friendly as in honor 8 time
I'm getting the European version
Now it's still to early to root... I don't see any (working) root method yet...

Reply: honor 8 pro is really a beast with metal body
The best way to root is to have TWRP first. Never try rooting methods from 3rd party sites.

Better wait for a TWRP man. I tried rooting methods like this before and it never worked. Plus there is a risk of spyware since we don't know where that program came from.

Hi! I just got a Mate 9 and was wondering if there's an alternative way to unlock its bootloader since Huawei doesn't allow it anymore.
Maybe something through FunkyHuawei from what I've read here.

True that. I didn't continue.
Try using Dc unlocker? Some people say it works in oreo. I think it depends on your firmware version. Huawei was being strict with modifications. Even firmware finder does not work with current firmwares.
Yes chinese mate 20 X can be unlocked 100% sure
Awesome. Seriously interested in this phone but have never had an unrooted phone so more details would be much appreciated. What software are you using here? I'm presuming this is only possible on the Chinese variant and not the global? Will you be attempting to install Magisk? Thanks in advance.

I am so much tempting to install magisk but i need stock boot.img file to patch and flash via adb but its risky haha lets see what happens
Great stuff. Thanks for the fast reply. I'll be watching for any updates with interest ! I can't live without adblock, afwall and titanium. Plus I'd be wanting to remove any bloatware which for me includes everything Google.

Nothing, I keep using it I have the Huawei Honor Note 8, which was also Chinese, and it was fine, just some of the Chinese applications I wish has English option to use. But So far this phone is great, slightly smaller then the HN8 but still awesome.

You may want to post the steps to unlock so any developers if any can possibly work on a recovery.
Not sure. It state L29. I think it is international or global version.
It came unlock when I got it. Let me ask how they manage to unlock the bootloader.

Hope we dont get penalized for being early adopters (maybe like htc cid change?) Hardware should be the same right?
Stupid and probably unlikely to work but can we restore the UK backup? The hisuite has rom flashing in it natively also.... There's also an option internally to flash/upgrade

This is one response I got the other day. FYI this is my first Huawei device so I'm learning a ton as I'm trying to figure out other things so sorry if I'm a tad off on anything. The project menu has USB options too...

This unit is a beta prototype for testing/developer and hence it is not locked. The actual commercial set will be locked.
This option is possibly shown due to prototype while I was exploring the phone. My apologies and hope that clarify

Yes,Huawei has not released unlock codes since 2018.
It is then only possible to buy an unlock code if there is someone
