Hello! I've been looking desperately how to unlock my bootloader, and apparently, the official form got removed because of problems with inexperienced users.
How to unlock my bootloader, please?
Using Huawei Honor View 10 BKL-L09, EMUI 9
(I would also like to modify everything else, such as the EMUI if that's needed, but don't know how without unlocking the BOOTLOADER)
me, too.... i also don't know how to unlock.......
There are paid services that can unlock your bootloader. XDA doesn't allow linking to them, but I've used one myself and am pretty happy with it.
You'll need a Windows computer and some software (Teamviewer, HiSuite, etc.) though. The procedure 90% remote, though you may have to plug/unplug the phone when instructed to.
Hello Huawei P20 Mates,
i read about it shortly, that there would be an exploit that allows root access. i read about it on this website httpx://helpnetsecurity.com/2019/10/17/android-root-cve-2019-2215/ (need to change it since new users arent allowed to use links in this forum <.<). the code for accessing root would be even available on github (i wonder why, wait - isn't this illegal?). but anyway, i read from another site that the huawei p20 with october 2019 update would be vulnerable for this one. so basically, its an now open door for us huawei p20 users to root our phones, isnt it?
i just wonder how to use this. i understand the process of compiling it, but what did he mean with "change with device code"? maybe i just didnt get it right. does anyone know what he is talking about in his github project?

As far as I know, at the moment No. Huawei stopped releasing boot lock codes.
On the positive side, and thing May change on Android 10
I confirmed this with one click root and some other dev database which I should be able to post her as I believe it doesn't breach the rules since its a developer sits that should imo be linked here but I don't want to post it here but I can pm you the link.
Fundermentaly speaking, I China is rumoured to merge and work hand in hand with Google after trump stepped up the game. It was posted on AC, and a feed I received from the app MEDIUM.
tldr no boot unlock, but no root.

did you even read what i wrote or used the link i told here? i told, that there is a 0-Day Exploit. Its *not* about boot lock codes or fastboot. its about a exploit, using to obtain root rights. then, you could easily read out the nvme file. but i dont understand how to use this relatively new exploit.

Yeah it might work, but if you try to modify something using root it would Brick cause of SecBoot.

you too, didnt fully read what i wrote, or did you? why are the answers always short like "no wont work because xy - but we ignore z, w and v"?
the thing is, you should *not* change the phone with this exploit. i wouldnt have any interest in changing it with this method. i have more interest in getting the nvme bootloader unlock code which most certainly is stored there since it was with the old huawei phones before that way. like you know, obtaining root rights, saving nvme partition, then open nvme partition with hex editor and then search for BL Code. then, i would unlock the phone the regular way. do you understand what im trying to do?

Calm down you haven't said anything about bootloader code in original post, simply you cannot obtain BL code cause it's encrypted(not in NVME partition) ? In EMUI 8 it was possible to unlock bootloader using modified NVME but in EMUI 9 you cannot do it. There is one way to obtain BL code but you need to disassemble your phone and it costs like 30 euro, you can find it in mate 20 forum, it's called BLK-RSA

okaaay this is news to me that this changed in EMUI 9. but, if that is the case, then maybe we should really check if the exploit is maybe working for older versions than android 9? especially the version before the may/june patch 2018 may be different. so the roadmap may be:
- downgrade to EMUI 8.1 version *before* security patch May 2018
- try to use exploit to get root rights in order to read (non-encrypted? - i need more information on this) bootloader code?
two questions are rising here: is the exploit only working for android 9, or is this exploit existing for longer time and versions before? i dunno how it is here. and second thing, is the BL Code already encrypted in EMUI 8.1?
the reason why im asking all of this is, that it may be better to get these informations before i try to do something and even brick my phone in the worst case. or doing hours of work without any result (which would be simply a waste). writing a few lines takes only a few minutes - at all.

You cannot downgrade to EMUI 8.1 before May 2018cause of xloader, only way is to open your phone and flash old firmware through test points. Also it can maybe work on EMUI 8 but BL code is still encrypted in there, yeah you can unlock bootloader through NVME but you cannot obtain BL code. The only way is as I said before the BLK RSA method.

that is absolutely wrong? i did in the past via the tool from huawei and yeah that was w/o *any* problem? and that was only a few months ago "where i already had EMUI9"? are you even *want* to root/unlock it, or do you just want to say what is not possible but in reality it is?

Why you have to be so offensive ?I just wanted to help you not to brick your phone if you try to do some **** with it. I forgot to say that you can't downgrade from EMUI 9.1 to EMUI 8.1,in past if you had EMUI 9 it was possible to downgrade to EMUI 8.1 via Hisuite

I tried running both the original PoC code and quickroot on my P20 Pro (EMUI 9.1.0.328, last patched 1/8/2019) but this EMUI version doesn't seem vulnerable, neither PoC yielded elevated permissions. I'm digging some more into this.

Okay glad to hear you try that. Maybe going back to EMUI 9 would help. The dload method still should work, right?

I'm not sure, the descriptions of the vulnerability mention that the P20 is affected - one site says only on Android 8 so it's unclear. I'm not familiar with the dload method, can you post a link?
The thing is, as maddoxx77 posted earlier, even if this worked as a way to gain root we'd still have no way to obtain the BL code and possibly only brick the device while trying. Perhaps some hardware based method could work but I don't really have the knowledge or time to dig into it deeper.
F.C.K YOU HUAWEI.
Hello ppl
I understand is possible to unlock bootloader of P30/ P30 lite... using test point and certain app in the PC...
Is this documented somewhere? Any specific app or tutorial
I would appreciate any info
Try with HCU / DCphoenix software
I unlocked P30 lite (MAR-LX1A) bootloader yesterday with DC Phoenix and HCU. It only works with EMUI 9.1 (downgrade your device with HISUITE). Price: 3 days licence= 19€
Thx.. I did that like 2 weeks back.. any way I can close this thread?
I think so...
is this help to root P30 to recovery photos on internal memory after factory reset due to forgot graphical key, any chances ?
