Thanx !!!!
How about rooting this thing ???

With a locked bootloader, no. If you get it unlocked use the Canary release of magisk for root on 10 and TWRP is pretty much fastboot only on 10 at present.

No you can't downgrade. Once your on the 4.4.2 update/bootloader your stuck. There is one exception. If you can find a reliable jtag service that would be a viable option

Root

Has anybody been able to root this phone yet?
I'm new to Huawei (coming from Samsung) so don't have any experience on rooting with this brand and any help would be appreciated.

Not yet, but hopefully an unlocked bootloader and root are in the cards....
Root root roooottt!!!
Huawei requires us to wait 2 weeks after owning the phone and logging into Huawei's servers. Then, they'll allow us to get an unlock code for the bootloader.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, rooting will be a piece of cake.
Thanks. I guess you need to activate the Huawei ID for this?

Hi, I just bought a mate 9 and i wonder if there is a site that i can trust and root my phone. Is there a rooting out for this yet?
Thank you.

No, haven't seen anything. Some people here are testing, and they will post details once successful....
I rooted my last two phones (Note 2 and 4) but I'm wondering if it's a big deal for the Mate 9.
It's got really good control of unwanted apps, and I suspect there won't be any custom ROMs for a while.
So what are you guys hoping to do with a rooted Mate 9?

If I recall correctly there are 2 custom ROMs floating around already, a Chinese and an Italian one.

Unlock bootloader on Verizon Pixel bought today (December)?

Does anyone know if I were to buy a Verizon Pixel today would I be able to unlock the bootloader? I ask about "today" because I'm not sure what software the phones are shipping with and from the bit I've read, the original forced-unlock tool only worked on earlier builds.
Or am I way off base here?
You are correct, with the December update they can't be unlocked. So far they are not shipping with the December update. I doubt they will any time soon.

Same. Got mine last weekend, no problems with depixel8.
I received my Pixel yesterday from Verizon and it did not have the 7.1.1 update installed so unlocking the bootloader should still be possible. What I'd like to know is if I were to unlock it, would I be able to apply the 7.1.1 update and still have it unlocked?

Unlock it first. It will update as long as you don't root or mod it. It will remain unlocked.

Yep, once you are unlocked you are good forever. I did mine exactly as I described. No SIM, unlocked, took the update and then rooted.

Lol, 1 more question, do we need to do updates in sequence or just jump right to the latest, which is 7.1.1(nmf26q)

If you are going to fastboot flash the full image, jump to the latest. If you are going to let or download ota'd mine also jumped to the latest. So guess it doesn't matter.

So I've got the regular Google Pixel from Verizon and I am on 7.1.1 NOF27B, my question is so there's absolutely no work around to unlock the bootloader to then gain root access? Just curious, if so I think I"m gonna need to switch carriers then lmao

OnePlus 7 Pro (T-Mobile) Android Q Beta

Can the Beta posted on the OnePlus forum be installed on the T-Mobile locked version? Also if it is able to be installed does the rollback method still work?

It's more to ensure that if you run into any issues or brick your device, having your phone and bootloader unlocked will give you a way to restore your phone..

Looks like it's time to try and convince T-Mobile to unlock it (I paid outright) so worth a shot. They unlocked my 6T same day.

Someone told me it's not possible to flash the OnePlus unlocked version on the T-Mobile version because the modem firmware is different. I know the 6T was able to be flashed to the unlocked firmware after it was SIM/Bootloader unlocked correct?

Custom Rom P40 Lite E ?? We Need it

Hello,
Is there any possibility for a port from Lineage OS to the P40 Lite E ? This google thing is a big problem, even after installing some apps are not working as they should, without a custom firmware this phone is pretty useless.
Is there any change that we can get some custom firmware over it?
Thank you in advance.
Sure, so..you got the bootloader unlocked?

There was a way but looks like the place i used last year doesnt support the P20 and up series.

as far as i know there is a test point for this model, could that be useful ? thats usually useful for unlocking the phone which also needs an unlocked bootloader.
