I would like to flash a custom rom into my 4C so I searched a way to unlock the bootloader in a safe way.
But there is so much mixed information. At first honor was providing unlocking service, then shut it down, then they started it again just for xda and then I went to that form there and it says it no longer accepts any requests.
So my question is, is it currently possible to unlock the Honor 4C bootloader or not?
The reason I am asking is so that I don't waste hours upon hours by researching this, just to find out it can't be done.
Thank you kindly for your advice.

You can try DC unlocker to get your device unlocked , but its a paid service.

Hi guys. I just bought a Mate 8 and am thinking about unlocking the bootloader. However, on my previous device Sony Z2, unlocking bootloader has some unwanted after effects like poor camera quality as a result of losing DRM keys. So before I do anything just want to know if it's the same with Mate 8, since I understand the camera was kinda made by Sony.

Unlocking is very hazardous !
Unlocking your bootloader will cause your cat to up-chuck a fur ball on your lap.

Try this with PC:
https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index
Something not mentioned by others in this thread is that if you unlock your bootloader when you boot a message pops that is telling you that you have unlocked bootloader and this device cannot longer be trusted this adds a little delay.
Also as a side-note i have been trying to unlock my bootloader from September through to official huawei(including several emails sent and social media complaining) way but gave up yesterday and forked over 4 dollars to dc-unlocker and within 5 minutes i had the bootloader code
also what i want to know, is it easy to lock the bootloader in the future, and return everything back to original state? ie undetected that it has been unlocked
Looking for some advice........I've just bought an Honor View 10 and I want to root it (just to use Apps that require root access), i.e. I don't need to flash any images etc as I'm not installing a new ROM
Is this possible straight out of the box? i.e Phone still has a locked Bootloader
If so, is there a guide somewhere on how to do this? ......Cheers!
You should really do some research before asking. Your answers are out there, just look for them.

You REALLY shouldn't have bought any Huawei/Honor device since they no longer give out bootloader unlock codes.
The only way to unlock now is through paid services, so if you still can I suggest you return it and get a phone from another manufaturer like OnePlus or Xiaomi
I know other phones are easier to root since Honor/Huawei aren't giving out Bootloader codes anymore, but that didn't really answer my question though......Is it possible to just root the phone without a Bootloader Code (just root, no flashing)..

No it is not possible. The bootloader code is needed to root/flash. You can like the previous person, spend some cash to get the bootloader code. Hope that helps?
Thanks for the reply, was hoping for a different answer though! Cheers...

No worries, wish the answer was different. Still without root this phone is amazing
Hello Guys,
long i searched for a method of unlocking the bootloader of eml-l29 Huawei P20. No i didnt find any, and qu1ckr00t didnt prove to be useful either.
it is not relevant anymore. since i did use testpoint too often in research of what is possible and what not, the device died just a few minutes ago. it always enters now only the usb huawei com mode. probably i used to much pressure on the testpoints or what or i accidentally short circuited other points with the screwdrivers.. but as a matter of fact, it is hardware bricked and the board is done for i think. so i dont search for a solution anymore.
people, see this thread as a resource what is possible without unlocking the bootloader and what not. i figured out following things are fact without unlocking the bootloader, so that you all doesn't have to try instead of me:
- you can flash with the testpoint short circuited and the software dc-phoenix and the right chipset/cpu bootloader chosen in temporary bootloader the twrp to erecovery_ramdisk and recovery_ramdisk, it will be permanently available after the process
- you cannot install magisk on it, since xloader seems to block the bootup and always sends you to recovery-mode (which means twrp if you flashed this)
- you cannot install a custom rom like OpenKirin with the testpoint recovery mode, as it - like with magisk, always will send you to recovery mode - i tried it exactly how it is explained on openkirin.net and it always turned out the same
- there is no bootloader unlock code in the nvme partition, i checked it - it seems there is encryption going on there
- the exploit qu1ckr00t is not usable, since the kernel is compiled with spinlock_debug
- and i forgot first: if you have the idea of soldering a cable for testpoint short circuit - no, letit be. you will only hang forever in huawei usb com 1.0 mode - it wont boot normally as long as you're in tp mode
so basically, there is way to get root, it is a way to get to direct data from the partitions. but at the end, the question that arises is - how much profit are you gaining from root or custom roms on this device at the end? in my case, the many tries costed my time, my nerves and now the device itself. it is gone for good. maybe this is for the best, as i never treated it right since i bought it (it had to be repaired two times in 2 years, which is a lot for a normal device at this amount of time) and i only have bad memories in my life with it (lots of things happened, but this is not the right place for such tellings).
my final message for this part of this board (not the board i damaged thou) - leave it alone, don't waste your time anymore on this. move on, there are cheap devices that are better, faster and unlockable too at this day and time. i moved on to my new Nokia 7.2, which is awesome.
so stay healthy guyz.
my journey of exploring the depths of huaweis device huawei p20 eml-l29 ends here. its sad, but at the same time i'm happy that the "horror" of an unlockable bootloader is finally over.
Thanks for your effort and sharing the info. Good luck with new phone
Note: my next phone won't be Huawei, for sure, due to bootloader locking, I am fed up with them
Yes,
I even have no sorry with them if they go down because of the Google lockout. Their strategy is to pull people away from Google PlayStore? Yes, sure. Good luck.
Unlock bootloader and promise to keep it open for P10 upwards and we are happy. Otherwise... byebye and fcku.

What if I have my unlock code? Can I still unlock it or it's impossible now? I requested my code before they stop the bootloader unlocking, but never did anything with it.

How do you root it? AFAIK anything newer than EMUI8 is no longer rootable.
I'm on EMUI 10, with an unlocked bootloader, please tell me how to root.

Where did you get this info from?
I was just thinking of rooting my CLT L09 Emui 9.1.0
I just got an Poco X3. I would like to root this phone but first I need to unlock the bootloader first.
After going through the unlocking application, I get a message saying I need to wait 168 hours before I can unlock my phone?!? WTF? Why can't they let me unlock it now?
Then I saw there is this tool called Mi Unlock Tool Mod. Where can I find this tool and does it work for Poco X3? After unlocking the bootloader, will I be able to root the phone using Magisk or I need to wait for the kernel to be released?
Please advice, thanks!
The advice is ... Wait

Everyone here suffered that. It's general Xiaomi policy, you want your phone unlocked, you wait one week.
I am currently going through the same "waiting" process as you . I've read on most posts that attempting to bypass the wait timer might increase the waiting time even further.
Truth be told, it's nothing new for me. The Samsung S9 when brand new also had a wait time of 1 week before the bootloader could be unlocked.
I was able to unlock my bootloader last Friday. I used the week I had to wait to familiarize myself this phone, all the needed procceses and ROMs. So, just use the time and start to look forward to unlocking it in a week. ?
Thanks guys for confirming about the wait time. I shall wait for 1 week then. In the meantime, what rooting the phone using magisk? I am also checking if possible to flash it with a clean rom that is like pixel experience. I do not like bloated miui.
Imagine they made you wait 1 full year before you can unlock your phone. Now that would suck big-time wouldn't it?
Hey I just found my old phone and wanted to install custom roms on it.
After a bit of reading in the internert I have seen that its very hard to unlock huawei bootloaders these days,
I found a tool called DC unlocker but it costs money to get the oem unlock code, so im asking here:
Is there a free to unlock my honors bootloader nowdays, I dont want to pay money for that.
Im also planning to install TWRP on that device and a custom rom.
Thanks
Edit: after a lot more searching i found a video with a guys showing a bruteforec script,
now my only problem is FRP
I'm curious: what tool did you use to unlock the bootloader?
I have an old Honor 6A and I would like to install TWRP and LineageOS..
