Is it still possible to unlock phone (after May 2018)? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I've read that Huawei have officially stopped this service. I looked for a workaround but I could not find one. I thought I'd ask you fine fellows. Is it possible, or should I move on?

Thank you. It costs money! No problem but I wonder if I'm on the right track. I bought the phone from AliExpress so I doubt it is network locked. Also, I'm just trying to root the phone so I can use a PS3 controller with it. Do you think I need to use DC-Unlocker in this case?

yes you need unlocked bootloader to root, and the only way now is with dc unlocker.

Or use the one of Xepeleato from there :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/development/product-id-generator-t3796123
It work for honor 8 too, if website is down you need to tell to Xepeleato.
btw, it's free.

I found this Nokia 6300 that's locked with some Vodaphone super locking system. I can't seem to find anyplace to get it unlocked. I want to use whatever SIM card I want. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I guess, but that will cost me more than a new phone. I was hoping to find some free unlocker like I did with my Touch Pro just connect to PC via USB and then hit unlock.

Well, then you have these options
- Fix it yourself (Oh boy)
- Pay for an repair service ( On hard bricked devices the mainboard is broken)
I would say fixing it yourself costs arround 75€. Let someone else fix it maybe 100€, so think about it... Im sorry for you. I bricked my phone last week too.

Btw you remember when i said i was working on Lineage? I can tell you one thing: I booted to android 6! Well, i used others work, but hey! (For everyone reading it, no i am not going to relase it in the near future.)

Yes but most of the time ebay can protect customer(refunds etc.) if they paid with credit card but aliexpress they can and tracking service is way much better.

FunkyHuawei now has bootloader unlock codes again!

As of today, they have codes again. Only catch is they've increased their prices substantially.
124USD each
https://funkyhuawei.club/buycodes
Kinda crap that they increased the price, but at the same time you can't find them anywhere otherwise!
Grab them before they are gone!
Anyone tried if it works?
Hopefully this will mean that more services start to provide them again, which means a decrease in price
FunkyHuawei is a scam website. Don't risk your wallet for a bootloader unlock.
They figured it out an algorithm (maybe), but their price is so high. I recommend buying an Octopus Dongle, for 90 bucks. I am waiting mine to come.

Any ROM for P40 Pro modified with google services?

Is there a modified Android ROM to introduce Google services for a Huawei P40 pro, instead of having to do it later with Goglefier or similar? If so, does it allow updates?

We don't have any confirmed way to unlock the bootloader, so with that being said there is no custom roms.

There are ways to unlock it and not insanity expensive either but I think there's no market for it.

Yes there is now, but at the time it wasn't possible. Also pointless at the moment to open up your phone and unlock the bootloader as there's no custom roms in the work.

It's all done with software but I do agree it's pointless as no one is developing for it.

Its not done by software alone, you have to short a pin or two alongside software etc, not something most people are willing to do.

The method I saw used software test points. And I saw it first hand, it worked flawlessly if yet a bit nerve wrecking. I am not sure if the program is allowed to be mentioned here as it can have illicit uses so I won't say it's name but it's publicly available. I only seen it used on P40 pro + but would assume it works similarly for all P40 series devices.
I uploaded this way twrp, but due to the lack of modified software nothing after that I could not do more. I would need to know how to modify the software
