Such sad news, I literally got my device today!
The problem for me is that even though I could unlock my device now, the pull of users and developers to this device is going to plummet to zero on xda , there won't be any (or very few) ROM's, adopters will avoid the device... It's a horrible move from huawei who have a sponsor partnership with xda?? Xda have said they're going to fight it but my guess is huawei may look at their wallet rather than their hearts and stick to their guns.
By all accounts it's "to provide a better service". ???
I have a cooling off period for another 13 days.
If things don't change in a week I'm sending this wonderful opportunity phone back.
Never again

Edit: all that being said, I like this phone too much, even runs ppsspp and dolphin the same as the onelus 5 did, I've unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted and now it's running perfectly.
Going to give it a chance.

In the same boat mate, received the phone on Wednesday, got the bootloader unlock code sitting in my email index waiting to be used....and now I see this.
In two minds about the whole thing, on one hand love the phone it seems pretty damn great to me, only want to root for 2 issues (not fault of phone, just personal preference) but on the other hand, lack of ability to unlock bootloader will kill the community here. Do I keep it, unlock and just roll with it, or do I send it back and get something else (Galaxy Note or S9+ probably, community there aint dead lol)?
Have to have a good think about it over the weekend I think.

Avoid the galaxy unless you like baggage and more rules, if I was to buy another phone it would be the HTC 12, no doubt about it.
Personally I've used the unlock code twrp installed and I'm rooted.
Phones a beast, I personally think Huawei will decide against their decision, by all accounts HTC did the same and look what happened to them
Currently looking at debranding from the L09 to the L29 as updates are more timely. Either that or wait for some ROMs to drop.
I'm keeping it now, it's swayed me.
Although I'd I could get the HTC I'd do it in a heartbeat, epic development on XDA.

Since the phone is treble enabled we can use GSI. So theres no "real" need to have an active development community dedicated for this phone only.

You don't necessarily need to convert from L09 to L29 to get faster updates, you just need to change region from 782 to 432. The L09 & L29 firmwares are interchangeable and are released together but it's UK specific updates that are lagging behind.
Saying that, I don't think there's a way to convert to 432 without being converted to L29 in the process anyway lol

Which version of TWRP did you use? The official one or the non official one? Both have threads in these forums, but the official one seems to have more complaints and problems in its thread.
Thinking of getting unlock code... Does it end warranty? And how do I get product ID, that #*#*1357946*#*# thing did not work. Yes, did try right code, one i wrote here might not be remembered correctly?

Like i said, when I tried to get product ID the code was certainly right. To that message i took it out of memory, and did not remember it right. Funny, i can get for example imei code with right "dialer code" but not that product code. How to proceed? Would like to get unlock code, to be on safe side if I some day (probably sooner than later) want to use it.

Keep hold of the bootloader unlock code you got as if they go ahead with removing the service, they're likely to release updates in the future that will relock unlocked bootloaders on install. You should be able to re-unlock with the same code but it's a pain as an update won't wipe data but then having to re-unlock will ?

There's another site that does them.
Can't recall the name.
Just ordered the P20 Pro today after I upgraded my partners one yesterday to the P20. Its looks a fantastic phone so I had to go one better and get the pro. I got the unlock code for hers and will request mine tomorrow. Is there any need to use the unlock code? I don't plan on hoping for a better ROM as the stock one looks pretty reasonable to me.

Rooting never breathed life into any ailing phone manufacturer, and the tiny proportion of people who root phones will not kill anything.

yup. some people may not LIKE that you can't root a phone, but the actual percentage of those that won't actually buy the phone for this reason is minuscule.
otherwise, the first time a phone manufacturer sees their sales actually explode after releasing unlooked bootloaders, they'd always unlock it, but that's simply not the case
Ok I think you're being quite short sighted here, allow me to explain a little.
People who root their phones, usually the same ones who mod and develop ROMs and love a tinker, generally speaking the techie in the family, the one who your family tends to turn to when they have an upgrade come around or need something fixing.
Those very same people are more than likely to recommend a phone which has the ability to root, bootloader unlock and modify than they are one which has a completely locked down eco system.
You can say what you like, you can say I'm full of it, but I've seen how people react to a company changing its principles in regards to bootloader unlocking, HTC did this once, they then reversed their decision after seeing an immediate decline in sales, not solely due to the device either, it was the people's influence which caused it, then after two not so great phones later, they were a struggling company, and make no mistake, HTC was a colossal company which was on the up and up, bare in mind they made a lot of what android is today.
Huawei are making the exact same mistake because they overlooked how important that 1% is and the influence that they have over the vast majority of other users who value their opinion and will commit to a purchase on their say so.
It doesn't matter if you believe me, it's just an observation I've witnessed when HTC made the same decision.
Sure they'll continue, they make other components as well as phones, in all fairness they could stop selling phones and still survive.
But for XDA, for development, for what we know today of Huawei devices? Lol If you think it's quiet here on the p20 pro forum, wait til you see the ghost town of a thread there will be for the p30 and pro, I doubt there will be a single ROM, no Dev would be dumb enough to buy it.
**** I am receiving my phone in 5 days...
Picked up a code just in case anyone I sell it to is interested. Probably won't use it myself.
Huawei is targeting the Apple clientele. They couldn‘t care less about bootloader unlocking. Look at their advertising, their USP is design, camera, beautiful visuals. They don‘t sell to the tech nerd who wants to flash different software.

Damn.
You may still be able to do something , there was a guide on the above link posted by a user which can unlock the bootloader by all accounts.
This phone is quite a beast and there could and should be another way in the future.
Plus Huawei will probably reverse their decision, that's not confirmed by any means but I think they will.
Funky Huawei ( which is normally not what I'd recommend) will probably see a lot more action now that official unlocks are gone too.
Don't worry too much, if it's still possible someone will find out.

I'm shocked. I received my phone today and wanted to root it and now I read this.
Maybe you guys can help me understand a few things because I haven't tampered with any Android device since 2014.
- will I be fine with the standard pre-installed EMUI or am I missing some really cool and better custom OS when I can't unlock and root my device?
- I've used Xposed, AFWall+, TWRP and XPrivacy on my old phone - are there similar and equally safe tools for unrooted devices?
- How can I make backups without TWRP?
- are there any known workaround procedures known that would let me unlock the bootloader without that code from Huawei? Is it likely that there will be one?
Thanks

Same question here. I have my Twilight P20 Pro lying here, unused since release in fact (so way past the return window) and meant to give it to my wife, but only with Root Tools (Adaway, YT Vanced etc.)
I missed the window since I was traveling and support won't help me.
I get it, my fault for not doing it in time but what now? I wouldn't mind paying for it, as the only other option appears to be selling the device at a huge loss (I paid full retail) and finding a different phone altogether.
Can someone please tell me where can I buy the code for EVR-AL00 (chinese model)?
waiting for link too

Hi hoangtu, that's great!!!
Can I ask a few questions. What firmware are you on?
Do you have the same model as me. The evr-al00? Chinese variety? Or the global version? I suspect the global, right? In which case. Lucky you. I couldn't really grab the global as I'm in mainland China.
If you have the Chinese model, did you unlock your phone with a code? Where did you get this code from, I'd like to get my phone unlocked too.
If not unlocked, was it simply a matter of removing the Huawei launcher? I'm a little apprehensive to do this... Can't seem to get adb to respond. I think it's because my bootloader is locked.
Any assistance you can offer would be great. I feel like I'm running around in circles chasing at my tail at the moment.
I have a small window of opportunity (about a week) before I get Ultra busy at work. I would love to get this sorted ASAP.
Edit: I wonder if CNY and the fact that China closes during this period has anything to do with no codes bring issued.
Thanks.

Hi, I purchased a Samsung S22U on Facebook a month ago and the phone got locked by Samsung this morning, saying it was "lost in transit or a trade-in device was never received". Samsung doesn't seem to care and won't even look at all the pictures and messenger conversation I have.
I haven't flashed ROMs or rooted a phone in a decade, but I used to be very familiar with it. Will flashing a custom ROM bypass Samsung's lock on the device, or do you know another method to get around this? This has become a very expensive paperweight. Running multiple IMEI checkers, it doesn't seem to be blacklisted.

So exactly how long you bought it until now? As I know, Samsung allows only 15 days from the day when the previous owner received his phone for trade-in program. After 15 days, they will lock it immediately. Here you said a month ago.

Hi. Can you tell me the person or the business info from were you able to get it working again, as i am in the same situation. Thank you.
Yeah, sorry. I stopped logging into this forum. I also just bought a new phone since I couldn't risk a random nighttime update causing me to lose stuff. Here is the guy... Tell him I sent you. It won't get you any discount or anything, but maybe he will remember me too eventually haha https://www.facebook.com/MNMobileGuy
* I just got this phone 3 days ago *
I have not spoken with any tech support at all about this matter. I simply have been looking through everyone's post and I had came across the one where you put the special code in the dialer system. However, prior to that I had popped in my old SIM card from my pixel 4 that was already unlocked and then I did the check in. Went back to developer options and OEM was grayed out and said to connect to the internet. That was last night and obviously I put my new activated SIM back in since that time .Now today all of a sudden I get the notification that my device has been unlocked. I checked my T-Mobile app and indeed it said that my device is unlocked and ready for any compatible network.
I would also like to add that I did do the temporary unlock as well before I got the message . Not sure if that part was before or after I swapped SIM and did the dialer method. And yes I know that that wouldn't have done anything either by itself but maybe that also helped possibly fool the system into thinking I was already unlocked idk but thats it honestly. Could be luck but I wish you all luck at the same time !
I have pics for proof including the 800 I still owe on it.

tmobile unlock app (pixel only) is the app you need to temp unlock the phone. if your goal is oem unlock, that requires permanent

that dialer code just checks that you are connected to the internet maybe googles server as well, but not sure.

Does that only work if you're eligible?

I believe it does nothing but "check in" with a server to verify your connected to the internet

Okay I see what your saying I'm actually gonna do some more reading into that but I do know forsure it does exactly that check in to verify a connection to the internet and I assume by pinging googles server. The success notification is saying it got the ping back, meaning it's on the internet. Where the confusion I think your at is coming from is that the OEM unlock switch requires the internet purely to check if your phone can be unlocked or not (grayed out oem switch or not), so if it didn't instantly become available it is not going going to. When the device is fully paid off the switch, at least for t-mobile, will become available. But I appreciate you digging that up I have seen the title to that thread I just have never looked at it, knowing I'm more than likely **** out of luck, for now. New phone coming soon. I hope this makes sense

It's okay I went out of my way to do it lol and as for the phone then idk wtf happened something happened somewhere and at some point it ended up with me having it fully unlocked with $800 still left to pay .about to get a laptop soon to finally root. But on the T-Mobile app it says fully unlocked idk I'm happy. But now the 8 is coming out soon I have Jump! Upgrade so I can do it but I'm so cheap I held out for 4 years with my 4 non pro lmao
I have made some decent money this year so I swap around from my 7 pro, s22 ultra, and OnePlus 10 pro. I think I may trade in one for the 8 I just can't decide between getting rid of the 22 or the one plus. I'm leaning towards getting rid of the Samsung.

Lol it's fine and I'd get rid of the s22 myself if i had the choice. But I may just do the same and get the 8 but I wanna have fun with this phone first lol
