[Q] SIM Unlocking Bell Sensation (NOT TMO)

Has anyone been able to sim unlock the Bell Sensation?
Sites that have the code for T-Mobile Sensation don't seem to have it for the Bell version. I actually got the Bell Sensation 5 days back and been trying to unlock it since. If someone knows where to get it unlocked, please let me know! I know the code would be available shortly (hopefully soon, but I want to know if anyone has been successful and where)
These are the sites I've used and every one of them has been unsuccessful:
1. unlocking .com
2. gsmliberty .com
3. mobileincanada .com
4. htcimeiunlock .com
5. htcsimunlock .com(took my money, did not result in code and never refunded it back, I've contacted them 4 times and they never reply, its been like 3 days now, you might wanna be careful with these guys)
6. cellunlocker .net (I didn't try to unlock my sensation with these guys, but tried to unlock a different phone and they sent me the wrong code. I asked for a refund, they asked me to provide them video proof, i did that and its been 7 months no refund)
7. cellunlock .net (different site from cellunlocker)
I have checked on more websites that I can't remember at the moment.

This?
Hope it works...
What's the first IMEI digits?
Does Your HTC IMEI# Start With "3577790" or "3578410" or "3526660" or "3539230" or "3538330" or "3589910" or "3523140" ??? They can do it... supposedly.

Nope, my IMEI # Starts with 35644

I know this is off topic but can you confirm if your bell sensation has a camera lens flush to the casing, like it is not recessed. I was at the source looking at a dummy phone and it has a lens flush with the casing.

I am trying http://www.unlockallcellular.com right now... dunno if that will work

Please let us know how it goes. I'm gonna try theunlock.ca

this site did not work

oh god, i have a feeling for the next few weeks the sensation thread is going to be spammed hard by bell users having problems with their sensations :/
unlock codes will take a couple days for the BELL sensation, as bell is NOT a fan of their exclusive branded hardware going to other carriers, even if you buy off contract or in another store

But I can't wait a couple of days, I have to use it now!! Just kidding, was actually hoping I'd be able to unlock today, guess Ill have to wait. Hope we wont have to wait too long.

haha i hope so, cuz after its carrier unlocked, you still gotta wait for S-OFF, root and CWM

As soon as someone gets their Bell Sensation unlocked, let us know which site you used!
(and preferably proof)

According to this ad on kijiji, it's unlockable...
Unlocking code, located in GTA.

I just emailed him, lets see what happens. He said he did 2 bell's yesterday successfully and one did not work.

Kijiji Guy can't do it for a week. If you know someone with a bell account they will do the unlock for $75 bucks, seems like the only option right now.

Did he say his unlock codes would be available in a week?
I've never actually owned a device on launch, so is that generally the rule? Unlock codes usually take up to a week to obtain?
Thanks for the info by the way.

cellunlocker .net has stolen my money before, I'd never use their service ever or recommend it to someone else.

No, no luck. They charged me for the unlock codes but refunded me within 2 hours with an email that said "Not Found".
They have noted on their website that their HTC codes only get updated once a week, so I guess we just gotta wait!

Anyone successfully get a bootloader unlock code yet?

Many of you know, you have to be logged into your HiCloud account and wait two weeks to be eligible to get a bootloader unlock code from Huawei.
Unfortunately for me and others, it seems that a factory reset restarts that clock. So although I have made sure to sign in every day for the past 14 days, it looks like I'm on day 3. I guess this is the price I pay for all of my tinkering?
I'm curious if anyone has been able to get an unlock code, and if so, how?

I'm @ 14 days today, still not getting the unlock code either. Hurry up DC-Unlocker

Can you PM me your Hangouts? I have some questions about it. Particularly, does the notification on your phone show that you've been logged on for 14 days when you go to HiApp -> Me -> Personal Space

Strange, I don't have the Personal Space in the Hicare app. Can't see at all how long I've been logged on.

Sorry, what I was asking applies only to the Chinese version. I'm not sure how the unlocking procedure on an L29 would be, as I haven't got one.

Guess that would explain it ?

Hi @duraaraa,
Just curious! Where would you see that unlock code? Where is it supposed to "land"! I have both HiApp and HiCare apps but I am clueless about how this unlock code is going to materialize!
Thanks.

You must make a request at huawei's site.
https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index
Log in, then choose Download, then choose to request bootloader unlock code.

FYI, everyone. I can more or less confirm some bad news. As of present it's not possible to get an unlock code for the (Chinese, maybe also International) Mate 9, even if you've had it for two weeks. I hope someone proves me wrong, but I've looked as much behind the scenes as I can with their bootloader unlock code generation website, and the result is, it's looking for a code but can't find it. I'm guessing Huawei hasn't updated their database or something. I'm trying to get a hold of the very elusive bootloader unlock support people, but not much in the way of a response from them yet. If I hear anything useful, I'll update here.

I just got my code from Huawei via email after sending them a thousand emails.
I will put a guide on what to include to get it.

It's already been up in the other thread, but here you go: http://pastebin.com/RYSvQq21

I called Huawei (Switzerland) concerning the L29 bootloader, and they asked me all the questions (EMEI , S/N, etc...) and they told me that in the next 2-3 days i should get the bootloader information on how to unlock my bootloader.
I'll keep you updated if this is true.

REMINDER This Wednesday is last day to apply for F+F discount.

If you per-ordered for full price, you can get a discount on another... to own/sell whatever. But only 36 hours left to claim it.
https://www.essential.com/pages/friends-and-family-offer

I bought the phone & 360 camera on Amazon and finally obtained the code.
Does the code is only used for buying product on Essential web site?
If so, then I cannot buy it again since I am in overseas...

Can you give me your code if you don't use it?

I'm looking for a code also if you have a spare.

If anyone can donate a code I would greatly appreciate it.

My understanding is it needs to be on the website for full price. But it does not hurt to submit a claim
I am still waiting to get my code,.. it is not fast turn over

If anyone would be willing to share one of these codes with me it would be much appreciated. I'd love to make the jump over, but don't have the funds to drop $500 right now.

They are VERY slow releasing code. Probably will be December or longer before most people get theirs

I waited a week then I inqueried them with fb because I don't know the status . They told me I cannot get a coupon since mine was bought with the dropped price. That is because the phone arrives after one month and activate it too late. I shown my ordered receipt then finally received the code.
Hope release ocean color ASAP ...

I submitted on the 15th. Haven't got anything. :-/ How long do i have to wait?

Edit: Nevermind, I misread the subject of this thread.
My F+F code says that it is good until 12/15. Is anyone else seeing that?

You can refer to the attachment.

All users who buy a new Huawei or Honor as of today will not be able to unlock the bootloader having the door closed to the installation of ROMs. For those smartphones already marketed there will be an unlock limit: 60 days from today, but it does not work anymore. We will see if the manufacturer ends up retraining and gives the freedom to change what you want, assuming the risk of damaging the mobile phone, which is why it is yours.
It is not good to leave aside the developers and the most mobile fans that are around. I do not understand why they have changed their mind, that someone explains why they think they have made this turn

Actually that's not all correct. Devices Huawei/Honor released after 5/24 will not be able to unlock bootloaders. If you purchase a device within the 60 day period you can still request an unlock code. If you buy a device after the 60 day period you won't be able to retrieve an unlock code.

Fatal error??
goes blank for a week or more

..
Is this a permanent decision ? Without the unlock codz, there is no way to flash custom ROM ? no anyway ? :crying:

that`s good to know...i was planning to buy a View 10 but not under These circumstances. If Huawei/Honor doesn`t let the customers decide, what to do with their device, i son`t buy their stuff.
It`s the same with Nokia btw....

Have to say as someone who bought a view 10 on day one, this is VERY disappointing to hear. I haven't done it yet as I am new to all of this and wasn't sure what to do. Guess I will have to unlock it now. Well, no more Huawei/Honor for me.

This is definitely my last honor or Huaweii product.

The unlock code is based on your IMEI, so you should be able to unlock the bootloader whenever you want. I took the code for my device just in case. I haven't unlock it yet.

I am waiting for you to fix the page to unblock the bootloader, before it went blank and now it lets you type your IMEI, product id, sn ... but when you send it does not do anything, it gives a verification error or ¿?, I don't know, the fact is that it still does not work

Just request it via email from any Honor Support site, Germany for instance sends them out. All they need is your IMEI and S/N
The email for the German support site: [email protected]
You should be able to write it in English, if you want to be on the safe side you can simply run it through Google translate and paste the German translation into your email too :fingers-crossed:

Thank you! Try todo send email to China support , because the Spain Support can't do It, they told me:
"We checked your IMEI and it shows the phone is from China. Unfortunately, we cannot give you the bootloader, code since we only provide them for the region of Spain or Europe. You'll have to wait until the website works again or contact Huawei China"

Right now he sent it where you told me because in Spain I was sent to China and the technical service of China does not answer. I've sent it to two or three sites that have been telling me. Let's see if it gives to someone that I'm going crazy. The page to unlock does not work, I'll try again just in case. Thank you!!!

Just be patient since they don't work on the weekend. I sent them the email on Sunday and had my code by Monday early afternoon :good:

Let's see if it's true. This error comes out on the page:

China page: "Your IMEI number is not linked to your account"
Have to wait!!
Thank you!!

Good mobile but very bad support if you bought in China, I do not buy anything from China.
From the support of Spain and from Germany can not do it, they send me to the Chinese support, which does not work (http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/service-center/).
Within a year or two hopefully, when they stop updating it, I will not be able to install a ROM. They think I'm going to buy another Huawei or Honor, but no.
The problem is that I do not like mobile phones with Notch or rear fingerprint, or rear glass because I fall quite.
When a brand says one thing and then another, it has no honor, it does not honor its brand

I bought the phone a few days ago and I have not tried anything of what they say, they are making me dizzy, it is complicated they put it.
I will have patience but I have my doubts of being able to get it.
I want to sell it but I like a phone that it comes without Notch, that it is made of metal, with Jack and with a fingerprint in front; there are not many mobile phones like that ... what could I buy with these features?
Huawei say that:
Dear xxxxx,
Thank you for contacting Huawei Support.
We are unable to send boot loader code via email and can only be obtained through our website.
If you would want to unlock your phone, you should meet the following conditions:
1. Please register your Huawei ID in our official website http://emui.huawei.com/en/ on your phone.
2. Log in and logout your Huawei ID continuously for 14 days.
3. Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than fifth time within 6 months.
If you meet the criteria, please go to https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_detail and click the 'download ‘button to login your Huawei ID other than any other third party ID to apply for the unlock code. Please contact us by mail or local service hotline as following if error message appears.
TEL: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=hotline
Mail: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email
Please submit your mobile model, SN, IMEI/MEID and error message in your e-mail. We also need to know that your phone is rooted, it can be out of the best working state and some of the functions may not be able to work normally. In addition, the system is vulnerable to be invaded by viruses once your phone is permitted to unlock. For the lack of testing, third party software may not be compatible with your phone. Unlocking will bring unexpected negative impacts and the device will be not normal, and cannot be restored, Huawei after-sales service office will not provide warranty service for your rooted phone, and you may bear the cost. So we strongly advise you to think twice.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you better. Please help us by taking a few minutes to tell us about the service that you have received so far. We appreciate your feedback and want to make sure we meet your expectations:

Can it be trusted? Price is now 190 USD

Not so much the question of whether it can be trusted, but who the heck is going to shell-out 190usd just to get code?!
The phone's not even worth that much these days :laugh:

FunkyHuawei again. How many times do you people need to be taught that FH is a scummy website?

190$ just to be able to root it? You can clearly forget ROM development on the P20 Pro and not even that would makes the price reasonable

No point, the phone is hardly worth a free bootloader unlock as there is nothing you can do with it.

This.

Good news but Jesus fkn Christ, 190 ? What yen? That's absolutely taking the piss.
I'm one month away from contract ending. Going to give this to my mum, shell like the camera.
OnePlus 8 for me.
One thing to note though, if funky has unlock codes then others should too.
I have the direct number for someone who did have unlock codes so I'll reach out to him and see if he has any..prices are a lot lower..
There are still some decent ROMs for the P20 Pro, AOSIP, Lineage.
Which is more than enough for most people..
No idea what this would mean if you went to EMUI 10 though..

The chap I have seen says they haven't got codes so I would not recommend paying anything
He has said that they have had a lot of luck with unlocking the bootloader via a tool.
Here's the number
Announcements in the whatsapp group

Could be cynical - but who is this FunkyHuawei group run by - perhaps Huawei themselves?
@dladz is that person offering bootloader unlocks currently? Are you saying they are the ones with the tool or FunkyHuawei?

Honestly besides FF you would have to go back to Funky, tbh if they've left your phone in a state where it won't update then they need to advise at the least.
