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"
http://www.huaweiblog.de/allgemein/general-bootloader-unlock-fuer-alle-huawei-phones/

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.

Unlock Bootloader BKL-L04

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]

just a simple change in vendor partition. which means since most roms are treble roms they wont effect being unencrypted lol just a fasctory wipe in twrp the flash the rom and go

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.

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!

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.

BTW, check out my profile, I did a post for concentrate information about our devices.

Thank you very much for this info! I was about to cry,when I read Huawei will no longer support the unlocking of their Bootloaders. I just bought the P20 Pro, so you are my saviour

I would like to Root, for our model I think it's premature, be patient sooner than later there will be a way, the important part is unlocking bootloader since they will get rid of.

I am having the error: 'The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.' :crying: :crying:
