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.

I just updated my phone to the .128 (636) firmware and the improvement in the camera app is so huge compared to previous version. I was on .107(636). AI now detects the scene more consistently and apply the HDR extremely well. In my opinion the dynamic range is on par with pixel 2 or even slightly better with this version. I can shoot handheld night scene at shutter speed 1/24 without using the night mode which is usually at 4 seconds shutter speed (harder to handhold). The only way to get this firmware right now is via funky huawei though

I did not pay attention to the front camera because i hardly use it, the photos from the front facing camera looked the same to me. I am sure they did something to it too because the rear camera difference is huge, looks like the change the AI HDR algorithym or something.

No worries, should have guessed with your Username
But how are you getting it to install the found firmware? I've tried with no success, I'm totally stock, locked and unrooted.

Well..then you can't, you'll have to wait for the update from huawei. You need to be unlocked and have TWRP installed.

If you unlock your bootloader and install TWRP it breaks Google Pay, right? (might consider this method if it doesn't).
is this new fw rootable with the original method? (magisk image)
thanks

It doesn't break google play... Depending where you are it voids your warranty.
Well you'll have to hurry if you decide to do it... Since they'll stop providing unlock codes soon. Just go to the uk support chat and ask for a bootloader unlock code, you should get it on you email in 2 days if they agree if not jjst go onto chat again and say you didn't recieve it... They should be able to provide it to you.

Lucky you, when I got mine it the site was down.
But I would really recommend doing it if you know yourself to be careful with your phone. The updated firmware is worth it...since it can be quite some times till huawei might push the update to your device/country/region. etc. so that's the only way to actually keeping up to date without having to wait a lot..
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.

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...

Tbh i have been using it for several weeks and it only consume around 2.2% overall
So I just bought this telephone, I need root to add some mafile for my steam app I use in esport classes where all logins are saved.
Is this phone useless or can I actually get root without unlocking bootloader, kinda sad they stopped giving out keys, this will be my last huawei device because of exact this.

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

May have to go the funkyhuwaei route and try to rebrand. However I'm not sure it's possible with a locked bootloader.

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
