[ATTENTION]: Before proceeding, save all your data on your computer and REMOVE ANY KIND OF UNLOCKING (sequence, pin, fingerprint etc ..); remove the sim and the microSD; get a microSD, at least 3/4 giga, where you can upload the files necessary for the procedure.
[NECESSARY CONDITIONS]: Starting from emui 8; have the cell phone charged to 100%; bootloader unlocked and the only procedure I know and working is the one I propose in the guide, the code is obtained by paying 4 €/$, THERE ARE NO FREE ALTERNATIVES.
[PREREQUISITES]: Download -> HiSuite , Dc-Unlocker
At this point we create a folder on the desktop and we will call it ANDROID1O to have a reference point and we will extract the folder contained in the dc-unlocker archive. Once the folder has been extracted, install adb and fastboot in order. At this point we can also install HiSuite.
[PROCEDURE]
[DOWNGRADE] In
order for dc-unlocker to read the bootloader code it is necessary to go back to an older version of android, so let's proceed as follows:
(1) We connect the mobile phone to the computer and start HiSuite, in some cases it will start automatically, and we follow the procedure that will be shown to us to enable debugging. If you have followed everything correctly HiSuite will read your device without problems.
(2) Remaining on HiSuite, click on the UPDATE SYSTEM item, a window will appear, at this point we can press on PREVIOUS VERSION (now I don't remember the precise wording) and we can start the downgrade. It will take a while.
(3) At the end of the downgrade we can start the mobile phone by skipping and ignoring the various configurations by putting the language in Italian as a matter of practicality, let's move on to the next step
[GET BOOTLOADER CODE]
(1) We go to the system settings ---> information ----> we do many taps until the message "now you are a developer" appears ----> we go back ----> developer options and activate usb debugging.
(2) Let's go to HiSuite and in the settings located at the top right we remove the check mark under "Start when it connects to the device" and close it.
(3) We buy the credits to read the bootloader code from https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy in this way:
- We select the payment method
- We leave "new user account"
- We enter a username that we like it
- We enter an e-mail address to which we can easily access, here we will be sent the credentials to be able to access dc-ulocker
- We enter 4 in the credits box and then type on confirm
- If everything went well, the screen will appear with the credentials and you will receive a copy on the email
(We now have the necessary credits to be able to read the unlock code)
(4) Let's go back to the folder created on the desktop and start dc-unlocker and clicking on the SERVER item we enter the credentials obtained on the site
(5) At this point in the drop-down at the top left we look for the item HUAWEI PHONES
(6) A guide will appear that in any case I will report here:
- In the call keypad type the following combination * # * # 2846579 # * # *
- Press on MANUFACTURE MODE
(7) We can connect the mobile phone and press on the magnifying glass we see on dc-unlocker and if we have done everything correctly the program it will detect our mobile phone
(8) When the phone has been recognized we go to the UNLOCKING section and press on READ BOOTLOADER CODE, if we have done everything correctly we will get a code that we will enter somewhere so as not to lose it, we will need it later
(I leave you the video dc-unlocker official guide on how to unlock bootloader if you have any doubts ---> Help
(9) We disconnect the mobile phone from the computer
(10) After writing down the bootloader code we can close dc-unlocker, connect the mobile phone to a wifi network and search for system updates to return to the latest version of android and therefore to emui8,
if no updates appear, we try to force them by going to settings, wifi, press and hold on the wifi to which we are connected, modify, check advanced options, press on proxy, manual,
in proxy hostname we write localhost and in the port we write 8080 , we press on connect and if we return to the updates item it should find the most recent version. At this point we can update the mobile phone to the most recent version.
[BOOTLOADER UNLOCK]
(1) After returning to the most recent version of android we turn on the mobile phone
(2) We go to the system settings ---> information ----> do many taps until the message "you are now a developer "----> go back ----> developer options and activate the usb debug and the active voice unlock manufacturer
(3) We connect the mobile phone to the computer, press on transfer files, go back to the developer settings and activate the debug , at this point the mobile will ask us to give permissions to our computer and we confirm
(4) Let's go back to the desktop and at the top right click on file, open windows powershell, open windows poweshell as administrator and click on yes
(5) We type the command "adb devices" (write it without quotes), we wait for the end of the 'execution of the command and type again the command "adb devices" (without quotes)
and so we will see a number that corresponds to our mobile phone
(6) We give the command "adb reboot bootloader" (without quotes) and we send
(7) The mobile phone will start in a white screen with an android, the important thing is that two written in red appear with the words PHONE Unlocked and FRP Unlock
(8) From the Widows poweshell screen opened previously we give the command "fastboot oem unlock CODICEBOOTLOADER" (without quotation marks) (CODICEBOOTLOADER refers to the code obtained with Dc-Unlocker) and press on
enter (9) On the cellualre a warning will appear, press once the volume up key and then the power key to confirm the unlocking of the bootloader
(10) When the procedure is finished, it will take very little time, we give the command "fastboot reboot" (without quotes) and when the mobile phone screen it will go black we unplug it
(11) The cellualre will restart a couple of times with a white and other yellow writing, let it go, it will be returned to the factory settings and we will just have to skip all the configuration procedures but set the language in Italian
Finally the bootloader is unlocked!

Knowing this sooner I would do it with this tool. Anyway good to knoe but I don't think I would stay with Huawei brand due to their anti-community mods policy.

Yes, absolutelly. Why you prevent me to mod my phone if the phone is mine?
Here is a free alternative to DC-UNLOCKER
I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP on my wife's phone (emui 8 up to date dec 2020)
Here is the program : Potato NV
Follow these instructions : PotatoNV - wiki
To find where the testpoint is located search for pralx1 STF testpoint on your favourite internet search engine.
PS : By the way, the understanding of how it works goes way beyond my technical skills...

I tried but It didn't work. Unfortunately I had an aplhanumeric code despite that my device was european, and this made impossible the task to find the code ( it would take millions of years to do a minimum percentage of combinations ).
I found it using PotatoNV, it adds the difficult part to disassemble the phone but it is very efficient.

It is not supposed to happen this way. You have to see something like "fastboot error: wrong password", so you're probably missing some permissions.
Anyway unless you have a numeric code there is virtually zero chance to find it in that way.
In my case I ran the script and in ~4 hours it tried all the numeric codes supposed to fit with my imei, but with no success. Later I discovered that my code was alphanumeric.
Hi everyone, I've just obtained te bootloader code, but now I'm stuck on EMUI 5.0.3, there are no updates available.
I tried forcing it but nothing changes..
On my P8 Lite 2017, I've tried the PotatoNV method which is, in fact, very easy (the most difficult part was to open the back cover, but with an opening tool it's easier) and no need to downgrade. For me the SkyEmie method was just a waste of time.

Hello, i'm stuck at this step, i'm back at EMUI 5.0.3 and when i check for update it tells me "no updates"
Worked for me (PRA-LX1) !!
So easy, except from potatoNV (didn't try back panel is broken, as a result I cannot open my phone) all other free solutions have not worked for me.

}
I decided to go ahead and buy a Xiaomi QIN 1s feature phone. Unlike other feature phones, it runs a version of Android. Since there doesn't seem to be any threads here on XDA, I thought I'd start one.
SPECS
I finally found a guide/tool over on 4pda that will let you install apks. I have translated the tool to English and have it attached. The original post of the tool is here
If you don't want to download the tool (which also helps with ADB) here are the steps to obtain root:
-- Install the driver on your PC
-- Dial: *#*#83781#*#* To Open the Engineering Menu
-- Find the section "Debug & Log" and enable "Allow Debug"
-- Open the Settings app
-- Find "about phone"
-- Click "Build number" multiple times until you see "You are now a Developer!"
-- Go to "Developer options" and then turn on USB Debugging
-- Connect your phone to your computer (MTP)
-- Using ADB, push the apk to the device
-- ???
-- Profit
You can use this method to install any applications, not just root the phone. Remember, however, we only have 256mb of RAM and a total of 512mb of storage. Definitely not for gaming and you will definitely want an SD Card. I can confirm QQ and WeChat work fine when installed.
Let's get this rooted!
Big shoutout to Frolkin who helped me get the original tool and gaguga for making the tool!

NICE! Thank you so much for posting that code. I have been searching for this code but couldn't find anything until yesterday.
So far I've sideloaded spotify lite and it doesn't work that well. Get stuck on the playlist view and can't scroll further down beyond the top banner.
Google Maps Go doesn't work without chrome and I can't install chrome because there isn't enough space.
Since mocor5 is on kitkat 4.4.4, would the hack to allow system to write to SD Card work to enable additional space for app installation?

It should. I don't see why not. It might be worth it to just root the Qin and install apks directly to the sd card. The spotify issue is most likely because the app doesn't support the dpad.

Yep the spotify issue is 100% because of that. The mouse pointer works but on certain views like the playlist, the scroll doesn't register. I wish the next version would add a a touch feature. Even if it's the same screen size, I think that would be a perfect device.
I have been looking for a replacement and get away from bulky and constantly connected smartphones without losing some of the nicer features like streaming music and using maps when I get lost. The hotspot feature makes this phone much more compelling to use too.

I don't know how to download an unrooted rom, sorry. Also, I put in the post that you need to load either Kingroot or iroot. However, I have uploaded iroot to the post. please check.
EDIT: hmm... I guess you're right. My new 1s comes in about two weeks, and then I'll be able to test it more extensively. It's possible that it may give you temp root after running it and you can manually install supersu from there

If you do:

I'm trying now kingoRoot PC version. I useed xiaomi ADB to see if the bootloader is locked. It shows that is locked. I have got debugging ON. There is a big issue with a space on that phone. kingroot installed only and it comes up as no memory. Maybe that is the case why is not rooting so I'm trying now after RESET the phone to use PC version - maybe will work.
After that i'm going to bed sorry but we can play tomorrow anytime

Hello everyone.
I know many Nokia 8 users experience some issues with both Oreo and Pie (it can be battery, freeze, etc..). Bear in mind that Nougat is totally adapted to Nokia 8 performances as it has been sold along with it.
Anyway, this guide is mainly for TA-1012 model, but I guess it can work with other models as well.
I. The Downgrade part
1. Unlock your bootloader (critical)
Before anything, you must unlock your bootloader critically.
As far as i'm concerned, I did the official method, that is described here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/official-nokia-8-bootloader-unlock-t3848051/
But there is a lot of topics on here on how to unlock (+critical)
2. Flash Nougat firmware with NOST
I used the first released Nougat firmware, namely NB1-0-303A-00WW-B01.nb0.
You can find it here : https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/hmd_en.html
Or on my MEGA : https://mega.nz/#!lodxDaAR!u5ZJLv8LHKL0U3irqTlRMdZoz1adzni1oN87KC2D-Fg
2.1 Download NOST
NOST (Nokia Service Tool), is a modded version of OST, easy to use. A huge thank to the developer.
I've had issues with NOST 0.5, so please download 0.6 (last version when I write those lines) :
Github link: https://github.com/StollD/NOST/releases/download/v0.6/NOST-v0.6.exe
Mirror link : https://mega.nz/#!E9kERajA!KnELFSHV9ekHhJFnWu4lL0PbkIbLT5qHCvupr8Kawk0
2.2 Download ADB and Fastboot drivers
Here is an easy guide : https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
ADB Windows mirror link : https://mega.nz/#!AhsBSYgJ!R_s2pE6fvFXNKsATSGffdjNGoPJy57HkgQeg9XNID6M
2.3 Reboot into Bootloader (aka Download Mode)
You can boot into Download Mode with VOL DOWN and POWER key, or with this method :
- First, turn on USB Debugging on your phone, and plug in into your computer
- Then, extract the content of the previous downloaded ADB/Fastboot driver
- Next, go to the root of the extracted folder, hold SHIFT and do a Right click on that same folder, and open a command prompt here
- On the commande box, just type :
Code:
adb reboot bootlader
2.4 Install NOST and flash nb0 file
Your phone is now into Download Mode, plugged into you PC.
Open NOST, load your nb0 file, and make sure that you check Erase User Data (an Normal Download, but it's already checked)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just press next, and your firmware is now flashing.
Wait until your phone reboot.
Congratulations you are now on Nougat 7.1.1 !
II. The Root part
I don't used the TWRP flashing wat to root my phone, since I never suceeded to boot it, idk why.
So we'll use the magisk boot image flashing here.
1. Download Magisk Manager APK
Github link : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
Mirror link (7.1.1 version) : https://mega.nz/#!Zk8ESAQA!n3JLUC-nU4xBKB7E3J0aTsvAzp9WlAHM5_VbgXob6c0
Then install the APK on your phone, open the app, and make sure everything is up to date inside.
2. Patch stock boot image from extracted nb0
The normal way to do it is to extract your nb0 file with this software :
- XDA link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4468396&d=1523018789
- Mirror link : https://mega.nz/#!AksQDSyb!zTt_L4x-DgP6aQG83D0DF4m34v78gFjA855JzSN-yBY
BUT, the software needs a lot of RAM to end the process, and I got an OutfMemory error. I had to use a powerful computer to extract the file.
So to make the task more easy for you, here is the stock boot image from the extracted nb0 :
- Mega link (Stock boot image) : https://mega.nz/#!khUFVArZ!KJ7ezdXKzisVtFgiGiTL1WiEnxBoTYJdhs9rI5CrI0w
If you want to patch it yourself with Magisk, you can, but again, I give you my patched boot image (so just ignore the above link) :
- Mega Link (Patched boot image) : https://mega.nz/#!sok2kS6B!WRUJK_B2vsFIMA8VJpyCCw98xVOgEWLQIjHj6zxq-lI
3. Flash patched boot image
Go into the ADB extracted folder (the one with fastboot.exe).
Copy the downloaded NB1-0-303A-00WW-boot-patched_boot.img into this folder.
Then open the command windows with SHIFT + Right Click.
Plug your phone into your computer, and reboot into bootloader, as always with :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once into Download Mode, flash the patched boot image with :
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a NB1-0-303A-00WW-boot-patched_boot.img
(be sure that your main partition is a. Otherwise you'll have to do boot_b)
(you can rename the .img file to make the command line more easy, e.g. boot.img, then type fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Now reboot your phone and go to Magisk Manager. Check that everything is updated, and on the left panel, go to Super User. You are now rooted !
Has anyone else apart from the author tested this method and can confirm that it works perfectly? No issues with rolling back or after rolling back? Everything works, even Google pay? Battery life significantly improved?
For battery life I dont think its that significant

With 50% brightness :
On SOT standby it last 12h
On SOT internet (browsing, YouTube) it last 6h
And in general, when I'm outside an entire day, it's at 50% battery when I come back at home on evening (with music, internet browsing...).

It depends, what did you do in those 35 hours ?
If I lock my phone for 10h, I also can have 30 hours battery

I use Whatsapp, telegram, instagram, twitter via twidere, OSMand for navigation daily, Musicolet for music (at least 6 hours of music), i browse plenty on Kiwi browser. I also check Reddit and XDA every few hours. Not only that but listed apps usually end up with me opening youtube links and watch videos on it. Point is, Pie is not as bad as most of you claim. I get 8+ hours of SOT over 24h+ on a single charge from 90% to 20% almost everytime.

No WiFi button found, my situation is first initial setup
1. Select language
2. Insert SIM card screen
3. Copy your data, from iPhone Android or cloud / set up as new
4. Get connected( select WiFi then)
Where can I turn off the WiFi ?

Do not copy your data because it likely contains all your saved wifi passwords. Just skip everything you can. Dont select the wifi network when asked either.
"Don't activate WiFi" is not the solution here. Android will force you to select a WiFi. This is called factory reset protection - to prevent an attacker from downgrading your phone to a vulnerable android version. What you have to do is reinstall Pie, set up the phone, and then before you downgrade, remove the google account from the device. That disables FRP and you can setup Nougat just fine.
I have select erase userdata in NOST

Explains why I never had these wifi issues in the first place when I downgraded to unlock the bootloader. Its cause I never signed in on google on this phone. Even now on Pie, I uninstalled all google apps and only kept Play Services (which ive kept disabled).everything still works and I get my notifications from apps with no hiccups. Most of all the battery life is exellent (i only need to charge once every 2 day window)

Before downgrading, while you on Pie,delete google account from settings and then do downgrade and you will have options to skip.
Nice

And i think battery time so good
In pie pubg run only 3/4 hour and in Nougat 5+ hour
This seems obsolete by now, gives me a func not ready error in nost. To mention that I first installed tvirus, and then reverted it.
Not only that but it broke something and the device isn't recognized in downloader mode by fastboot, and NOST either hangs or throws errors while flashing so I'm stuck in unrooted android 9 until I somehow fix it, nice. And then I hard bricked trying to solve this.
Ok, managed to fix everything. It seems windows nokia drivers and fastboot simply **** their pants at some point and lose access to phone even when it's detected in device manager. Flashed FWUL to a USB, booted to linux from the USB, and from there flashed T-Virus, no problem. Now I could revert to get back to stock android 9 if I want to using T-virus revert. Lessons of the story: 1) don't use OST or NOST. 2) Get bootable linux on a usb for all android needs 3) Maybe I could've solved the issue in windows if I didn't try using OST again, after it screwed the phone first time, to try and flash stock nokia 8 oreo rom in emergency download, it blocked fastboot command from powershell to enter edl mode after OST shat its pants again during flashing. Maybe qualcomm apps could'be been used to flash stock rom in windows from EDL mode, instead of the crappy nokia OST.
Hi there,
So After seen many tutorials I wanted to proceed to unlock the bootloader of my Huawei Mediapad T5 , here are the specs
```
Model: AGS2-W09
Build No: AGS2-W09 8.0.0.360(OCEC431)
CPU : Hisilicon Kirin 659
Android Version: 8.0
```
I have downloaded the last build of `potatoNV` along with the SER Drivers ,
I have booted in untrusted driver mode (on Win10) and have installed `usbser.sys` as far as I recall
I proceed opening the Tablet from inside and shorting the "short point" and I get connection with the Computer , I installed the drivers , and tried on `potatoNV` with `Kirin 65x (A)` .
I get to the end of the progress bar , and then I get the problem as there is no confirmation that the process has been performed correctly. The connection dissapears , and If I try to boot on rescue mode and I do `.\fastboot.exe devices` or `fastbook.exe oem device info` it doesnt show no device at all.
Also the `rescue mode` menu says `Phone locked , FRP Unlocked` So I guess I had no luck
Please see the video on the link (note that the 2 takes are not synchronized)
doubt-mediapadt5-bootloaderunlock.mp4

What I may be possibly doing wrong ? May it be the USB connection (cables or connectors) ? or the drivers I downloaded?
Please any assitance will be appreciated.
Thanks
Maybe I can help you with this. Recently rooted this tab myself. Please give me a reminder tomorrow
Hey there I just saw the message . Please if you can guide me a bit of what I may be doing wrong? Also If there is a way to share the Drivers files that you used that would be great (I'm not sure if it was a matter of drivers or general clumsiness , please If you have a minute to check the video tell me what may be wrong on my "Technique") Thank you!!

Just saw your responce now (please use reply next time, I will get an notification then ).
The "Kirin 65x (A)" you've used is the correct bootloader. So guess it would have been something going on with the drivers or the procedure.
I recently (about 1 month ago) rooted this tab myself so I think I will have quite recent files for doing so. Maybe I can send them to you if you like. But I should have save the websites where I got them from too. But need to check it up for you then.

Hi, thanks for assisting me. Yeah well, the version I used of PotatoNV(the last build) just had the option of Disable FBlock so I did that.
Also I tried wth a previous build that was showing both versions as you are showing and it happened the same thing.
My guess are more focused on 2 probable mistakes by my side either:
- When shorting the short point Im not doing it correctly. (not sure if this, as the device gets detected by PotatoNV and initiates the process)
- (Most likely thisone). Wrong drivers, I have downloaded them through a link found in a youtube video, and the video was not specific about this Tablet. Also there were a bunch of drivers within the same file so I installed one that looked like the correct one (but not 100% sure)
Anyways thanks for taking your time really and appreciate a reply but always whenever you find free time obviously. Take it easy today at work

Not sure, I should get into it again, but I'm not sure of potato is able to start the procesure or finding the divice if not shorted correctly.
Do you have a screenshot of your potato output/ results?
How are you performing the shorting procedure?
I can see if I can look for you for the right drivers tonight.

Oh yes, forgot about the video in the OP...
Seems you're folowing the wrong procedure with the shorting proces.
And seems your potato version is a bit outdated. But don't think this will be much of an issue.
- Your tablet needs to be turned off.
- cable removed from the tab.
- start potato
- then short the circuit (tab turned off).
- keep it shorted and insert the usb cabel (the other end should be in the computer already)
- the tablet starts (i believe in somekind of flash mode. And i believe you should not be able to see the Huawei logo in this procedure).
- after 2 or 3 seconds after booting, release the shorted circuit.
- i believe it should display you now some info about the tab itself in potato when you press start.
P.s. Don't forget to make a screenshot of the results or write down the newly given unlock code. So you can use it afterwards to lock or unlock your bootloader at a later moment, without opening the tab again.
P.s. 2 I just read in your comment that the recordings are not synchronised. So it's possible you were following the correct steps above. Correct me if I'm wrong please

I'm home (finally)...
If the steps mentioned above didn't worked out, I would like to ask you to do axactly as I did. Just unlocked my Mediapad T5 just 1 month ago or so, so everything I've used should be recent enough I guess.
First:
- Un-install your potato version.
- Un-install your Mediapad T5 USB drivers.
So we can begin from scratch
Also:
- turn on OEM-unlock and USB-debugmode in developer settings.
I asume you have a decent and working ADB version installed on your PC?
If not, or when you're not sure, uninstall it too.
I was using the Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here:

Introduction ADB and Fastboot are arguably two of the most indispensable tools used when working with Android devices. If you really want to modify, debug, and tweak along with their countless uses in rooting, and other procedures ADB and...
forum.xda-developers.com
Then:
1) Install the Huawei USB drivers from here:
Support area | files.dc-unlocker.com
(this) or (this) are the "official" sites I got this from.
2) Install the latest version of PotatoNV from here:
GitHub - mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV: Unlock bootloader of Huawei devices on Kirin 960/95х/65x/620
Unlock bootloader of Huawei devices on Kirin 960/95х/65x/620 - GitHub - mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV: Unlock bootloader of Huawei devices on Kirin 960/95х/65x/620
github.com
Open potatoNV and use these settings marked in red:
3) Plug the USB-cable into your PC already, but don't connect the other side to the tablet. And make sure your tablet is turned off.
4) Now short the testingpoint with a shielded part. I just used a thick copper wire and used it between testingpoint and metalshield just next to it. Metal pliers as used in your video should work too ofcourse.
P.S. I see that you also disconnected your screen in the video? It seems that it's verry important not to see a charging icon in the next step, so maybe it's better to connect it again for this step.
5) While still shorting the testingpoint with the shield, connect the USB cable to your tablet and be sure no charging icon pops up (This can be a bit difficult doing on your own. Easiest way is to have someone around te help in this step). After a few secconds when connected (without seeing an charging icon) remove the shorting between testingpoint and shield.
6) Make sure that the Huawei USB COM is selected in PotatoNV (and that the other settings are the same as the screenshot)
7) And pres "Start!"
8) You should get similar results now:

p.s. In your video it seemed your device got disconnected somehow while uploading. You should not see that "timeout" message here now annymore.
9) Make a screenshot of your results, copy them to a text file or write down at least your "new unlock code"
So you won't have to open your tablet annymore in the future. You can use this newly obtained unlock code now to lock and unlock your tablet without opening again.
10) You should now see a warning screen everytime you reboot the tab. It warns you about that the device can't be trusted annymore because of the unlocked bootloader.
You can also enter Fastboot to check it
Fastboot/ Bootloader mode:
1. Turn off the device by holding the Power key for a few seconds.
2. Connect tablet to PC/laptop using the USB-cable.
3. Hold down Volume-Down.
4. Hold down the Power button until device starts (while still holding Volume-Down and USB connected).
4. Tablet boots now into Fastboot-mode.
You should see the following screen then (pay attention on the 2 red lines at the bottom):

Are you btw sure that the pliers you used in in the video are making a circuit from one point to the other? Maybe worthwile to measure the resistance first?
I just used a thick copper wire and bended it to an easy to use U-shape.

Do angels wear capes? because I haven't seen yours .
Much much much appreciate your help with this, I have just done it perfectly it didn't take me much time to do it.
Whatever I was doing wrong (probably the drivers , probably the shorting point thing not doing it properly) , whatever who cares!!.
I was also a bit not confident to do it that's why it took me time to get into doing it , but you definitely coached me with your messages .
Really thanks very much Rockel . For anything we keep in touch mate

Hehehehe, thanks for your nice responce!
So I asume You've managed to root unlock the device now!
It was a pleasure assisting you in this.
If you need anny other information regarding this rooted device, please let me know. I'm not a pro with this. But had to solve a few problems myself. And came there with the help of others aswell.
What is the use of New unlock code?
do anyone have system, boot, cust, recovery, userdata.img with you i want to try with multi-tool to unbrick my tab
The unlock code can be used to unlock bootloader (using something like "adb oem unlock <code>" from PC)
I have saved the OTA folder form huawei system update app just before updating from 8.0.0.320(C432) to 8.0.0.371(C432), it can be found in /data/HwOUC folder after updater finished downloading. This version cannot be found on HuaweiFirmwareFinder site but I have temporary shared then here. Perhaps we could contact the authors to upload this version.
You can later use HuaweiFirmwareExtractor to extract different images from the zip files (no clue why there are 3 of them).
You need to disable "Verify Header checksums" in the "Settings" to open the extracted update.app files from the zips.
Good luck!

thank you .. but i extract app didnt uderstand which img file to install there no exact name for boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img, can you plz tell me which file equal to those file..
I don't think Huawei has boot.img or recovery.img, they may have a different layout and names (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I know the equivalent of boot.img is ramdisk.img or kernel.img (I flash both when restoring to be sure) and recovery should be recovery_ramdisk.img. The names from HuaweiExtractor should match with the images. Cust.img can be found in the other zip: update_full_AGS2-W09_hw_eu.
There is also this partition layout table which I don't know how it works for Huawei but I know that it may change for different firmwares so it is usefull to have remembered what version you had previously or use a safe tool to flash that also.

FAQ:
Why so many versions of TB132FU and why so much confusion about the Android system, updates, etc?
There are currently 3 systems available for the tablet known as TB132FU and is really important to find which one you have.
Fake Global version - Modified Android 12
Official International version - Official Android 12 or latest by Lenovo international
Chinese version - Zui 14 based on Android 12 or latest by Lenovo China
But why so many versions then? The Chinese model is apparently cheaper than the international version, so Chinese sellers are selling online the Chinese model with a modified android version to look like the international version.
How to identify which version of TB132FU I have? By the seller:If you purchased your tablet online from china like on Aliexpress or from a seller that sells items from china, you most likely have the “Fake” Global version.
If you purchased your tablet on Lenovos’s website or a certified local or national seller in your country, you most likely have the International version. This version usually costs more.
If you purchased from china or anywhere else, but your tablet has a Chinese interface, you have the Chinese version running ZUI 14 or latest.
How to identify which version of TB132FU I have? By the system version:To make sure which one you have you can also do the following:
On your tablet go to SETTINGS > ABOUT DEVICE > and find your system version.
If it starts with TB132FU_S3 you have the Chinese version running an unofficial android version. The number S3 confirms it’s a modified OS. You will never get any updates.
If it says TB132FU_S0 you have the official international version. This is the official version, so you already have the best compatible system for your tablet. You will get official updates.
If you open the settings and see on the About device menu the system version ZUI, well you have the chinese official device and system.
Can I convert my Chinese TB132FU into the international version?The answer currently is no. Why? To keep it short: There is a code inside your tablet saying “This is the Chinese tablet” and because of this code you can't install the international android system. Maybe in the future, someone from the community will be able to find that code and change it so the tablet thinks it is the international version.
Can I convert my Official Lenovo-bought TB132FU to the Chinese version to use ZUI?Same as the answer above. We need to find the code and how to modify it first.
Can I use Lenovo’s Rescue and Smart Assistant software to convert my Chinese TB132FU into the international version?No. You will brick your device if you try to update your system using this tool.
What are the differences between the Chinese TB132FU and the International version?Chinese version with ZUI 14
Software: It comes with an Android flavor called ZUI currently based on android 12. Updates will be available.
System languages: English and Chinese only.
Full support for super fast charging with the original charger. Full charge in less than 90 minutes in most cases.

How-tos and tutorials links:
How to install/restore ZUI on my fake global version?There are three options available. Please read all 3 below and decide which one you want to try.
OPTION ONE: If you are in a hurry and have technical knowledge download the file our community colleague @Fatperman managed to upload and install it using the SP flash tool. Thread here. A Step-by-step tutorial will be provided by another community member soon. A link will be provided once available.
OPTION TWO: If you are not in a hurry and don't have the technical knowledge to flash the system, there is an easier way, but it takes one or two days.
1 - Download Lenovo’s Rescue and Smart Assistant software here.
2 - Open the software and create an account. Connecting to Google is easier.
3 - Once connected to an account, find the SMALL blue FEEDBACK button on the right side bottom of your screen and click there.
4 - Put your email address and in COMMENTS write that you have problems flashing the Chinese version of TB132FU and that you would like to restore it to the original ZUI 14 software. PLEASE USE YOUR OWN WORDS.
5 - After one or two days (usually), INSIDE the software you will receive a response with instructions on how to install ZUI more easily. Note: You will not get a response via email, you will receive institutions inside Lenovo’s Rescue and Smart Assistant software.
The instructions are pretty simple. READ THEM carefully once you receive them. It's really easy. Basically, they will send you a link to download a special rescue tool and some credentials. Take a screenshot of the instructions as you will need to uninstall the official Rescue software and will lose the message.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download and install the software they sent, enter using the temporary credentials (the credential are confidential and should not be shared), and follow the instructions on the screenshot you took. You will just need to turn off the tablet, click to restore, and connect the cable. After a few minutes, you will have the original ZUI 14 software.
Thanks again for the amazing help of our colleague @Fatperman for his exceptional work!

I don't think there's a Chinese version of the software. The credentials are needed. They may be off for the holidays so you will need to wait. Hopefully someone gets back to you during this week. Otherwise I would recommend writing again.
after install zui14 my device show message "orange state" in boot, I can't update even with vpn.
can i lock bootloader after installing zui14 in chinese version? how to proceed?
Yes you can. If anything goes wrong you can do everything again. I Unlocked the bootloader and tried flashing a recovery, bricked the tablet and used the tool to fix again.

After unlocking the bootloader every time you boot up the device the following text will be displayed on the screen:
Code:
Orange State
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
To remove this text warning and 5s delay you need to change the file "lk.img" (firmware folder):
Open "lk.img" with a hex editor (for example, HxD)
In menu toolbar click "Search-Find" and select "Hex-values" tab.
Search 08 B5 0E 4B 7B 44 1B 68 1B 68 02 2B
Copy text 08 B5 00 20 08 BD 1B 68 1B 68 02 2B
Return back to hex editor window then right click on the highlighted items and select "Paste Insert"
The newly modified 24 characters will be displayed in red
Click "File" and select "Save".
Flash the modified "lk.img" in fastboot mode
fastboot flash lk lk.img
ZUI_14.0.691
The firmware already includes Google Services Framework.
/system/system_ext/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
com.google.android.gsf - version 12-7567768
It is disabled by default.
When you turn on "Settings - Apps management - Google Basic Services" the application status changes to enabled (installed).

Nice work! Do you have any idea where the code for text on the picture below might be? Technically, if we are able to find this code and modify it, it should allow us to use the Offical Global rom. I tried to replicate these steps and these steps with no success. I can flash the image using fastboot but the message doesn't disappear.
Protip: The version TB132FU_USR_S000034_2206180119_MPR0_ROW allows the bootloader to remain unlocked. Useful for tests with the Global version
While the version "TB132FU_USR_S000089_2210200620_MPR0_ROW" will lock the bootloader and the commands to unlock will not work.
Let me know if you have any insights.

I had TB132FU_S000034_220618_ROW installed.
I flashed ZUI 14.0.691.
And now I can't flash any firmware through the flashtool. I can't flash my backup of TB132FU_S000034_220618_ROW.
That's why I'm still on the ZUI 14.0.691.
I'm getting used to it

Awesome. Just a note: The fake global was TB132FU_S300062_220921_ROW, and the version we could use to try removing the code is TB132FU_USR_S000034_2206180119_MPR0_ROW. This version is flashable via the Third method on the FAQ. I tried to flash a backup using the Flash Tool and even splitting the dump using Wwr MTK tool and using the third flashing method, but no success with the backup either.
But If we manage to locate the 'Incompatible software' code we could use an official ROM.
NEW: Install official Global ROM on Chinese TB132FU running ZUI 14 or Fake globalDISCLAMER: Flashing on TB132FU is pretty much safe and a hard brick has not occured yet, but do it at your own risk. If anything goes wrong you can return to ZUI 14 using one of the restoration methods listed on the FAQ thread. ALL YOUR FILES WILL BE DELETED. Make a backup of your personal files before proceeding.
Did my work help you? Be free to buy me a coffee. PayPal me at @alsbvg
Current version: TB132FU_S000094_221117_ROW
To see what works and what doesn't check below.
To flash this version you will need:
1 - A computer running Windows
2 - Flashtool (attached to the thread)
3 - ADB drivers or UsbDk drives & MTK drivers
4 - ZUI 14 installed on your TB132FU. If you have fake global you can flash as well, but having ZUI is recommended.
5 - Firmware file
6 - Attention to the really detailed tutorial below.
How to flash
Preparation:
1 - Download and install the drivers provided above. If you already have them installed skip this step.
2 - On your computer create a folder on your Desktop. Name it LENOVO.
3 - Download the firmware file (download link provided above) and un-zip it inside the LENOVO folder on your desktop. So inside your LENOVO folder now you should have a folder called TB132FU_S000094 Global.
4 - Download the attached flash tool and un-zip it inside the LENOVO folder on your desktop. Now you have a folder called TB132FU_S000094 Global and a folder called MTK_Flashtool.
5 - Power off your TB132FU and disconnect it from your computer in case you have it connected.
Flashing:
1 - Go to the LENOVO folder, and open the folder MTK-Flashtool. Inside this folder find flash_tool and double-click to open it.
2 - Once it opens click the TAB download. Do not click the green arrow.
3 - For the Download agent click Choose. Navigate to your Desktop > Lenovo > MT_Flashtool and select the file MTK_AllInOne_DA_onyx_signed
4- For Scatter-loading file click Choose. Navigate to your Desktop > Lenovo > TB132FU_S000094 Global and select MT6893_Android_scatter.txt. You will see two files with the same name. Click the one with the paper with lines icon. Wait for it to load.
5 - For Authentication File click Choose. Navigate to your Desktop > Lenovo > MT_Flashtool and select the file auth_sv5
6 - You will see white and green lines below. Scroll down and find the line that starts with lk_a and UNMARK it. All the other options should be marked, only lk_a should be unmarked.
Ex:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7 - Click the green arrow DOWNLOAD and plug in your tablet. Wait until it completes flashing the firmware.
And done. Once it is finished you can unplug your tablet and turn it on. You now should be running the latest global rom on your TB132FU;
What works:
Google Sync
HDR with true black
Productivity mode (PC mode)
And almost everything else. I'm still testing it.
What doesn't work:
OTA - once a new update is available it will be needed to be flashed manually losing all data. OTA did not work on a previous version.
Ultra-fast charging. It has Rapid charge but not the super fast charging available on ZUI
Some users reported L1 when flashing this global.
For users who lost L1 status, no solution to get it back from L3 yet. :/
"Scroll to the left" on the home screen to access the media center will not turn off even if you try manually setting it as off.
Time-zone issue: Factory reset it after the first boot to get it fixed.
You tell me what else is not working.
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Some cuestions that you may have an answer for:
1. Has the bootloader to be unlock? What happens if I have the bootloader lock? (I lock mine with zui 14 in order to get L1)
2. Is there a way to change region code like in others lenovo models? Will it have any impact on OTAs?
3. Can you rollback to zui 14?
Thanks in advance. I think that will be able to have a full working rom with OTAs and L1 eventually. This is a huge step forward

Out of curiosity, does the Chinese model have an Ultra fast charging?
My Global P11 Pro gen 2 does Rapid charge and my cable display caps out at 10w which I wouldn't say is rapid...
Same cable and charger gives me much faster speeds on my Galaxy S22U.

1 - You don't need the bootloader to be unlocked to flash this global version. I had Zui 14 with a locked bootloader and OEM locked, and the flashing worked. The OEM toggle will not be available once you use this version. It says you need to connect to the internet or contact your carrier.
2 - No way to change the region code so far. OTA will not work as described. It was tested on an older version. It will download and try to install but will fail. This is the latest rom so no OTA updates so far, we will have to wait to see if it will be the same.
3 - Yes, you can roll back to Zui 14. I did that quite a few times during my tests. Bricked the device more than 20 times and was always able to roll back to ZUI.
Thank you so much!
Generating User Accounts is working too? Wanted to use the tablet for the family, but ZUI doesn't offer accounts and Google Family doesn't work.
Hi. Thank you very much for the excellent work! Testing, so far so good. Do I have an L1 or am I misunderstanding something? Screenshot attached.
Thanks for the great work you do.
We have successfully implemented the global implementation.
My tablet is formatted with the SP Flash Tool. The serial number was lost at that time. (When I looked in the settings, the serial number was 0123456789ABCDEF.)
The serial number itself was recovered by rewriting the proinfo.bin. I think this formatting probably caused the Widevine-related settings to disappear and become L3.
I ask other L3 users, did you format with SP Flash Tool or python?
Flash mine today from ZUI 14 with bootloader lock, L1 and Google Play Certified to Global ROM and I kept L1, Google Certified Device and everything Is working. Even fast charging.
Thanks a lot! Let's see what happens when an OTA Will be available.

I bought it for my daughter to use and have Family link for her Google Account and its all kinds of wonky (it shows my daughters account under Accounts then it vanishes. the only way I can add it back in is by signing into the Play store but then after an hour or so it goes. Works fine with my google account. Damn Family Link!)
(its on 14.0.413, and has an update pending for 14.0.640 ST). Not a clue how to check if its a modified ROM or what, but was going to try the above and see how it gets on.
Just to clarify fast charging Is shown on the screen but I don't if it's 10w ir 30w. I Will do some measures today and keep you posted

Try the AccuBattery app, it may not be accurate, but it shows the charging current. I don't want to charge it yet. I will first discharge it and then install this app and start charging. It's convenient because it shows time to charge up to 100%.

Thanks for the great work you do.
We have successfully implemented the global implementation.
My tablet is formatted with the SP Flash Tool. The serial number was lost at that time. (When I looked in the settings, the serial number was 0123456789ABCDEF.)
The serial number itself was recovered by rewriting the proinfo.bin. I think this formatting probably caused the Widevine-related settings to disappear and become L3.
I ask other L3 users, did you format with SP Flash Tool or python?

Thanks for your input. I formated it before using the option "format + download" and serial number is now 012345678ABCDEF. I can try doing what you did with the file proinfo.bin. Any specific tutorial you used?

Go to your settings menu. If you see the word ZUI anywhere, it's the Chinese model and you can flash the global if you want.

Thanks! Yep, I have ZUI! I think its the family link attached to my daughters Google account that makes it annoying, but can't see any down sides in going to the Global to be honest. Can't get any worse... can it?!

It shouldn't get any worse lol, but if your daughter is a kid you might benefit of a global rom, it has Kids space and the possibility of creating multiple users.
Awesome! Big thanks.

What I did.
Install Python and mtkclient on a windows 10 computer.
python mtk rl --skip userdata "Destination path"
Backup everything but the user data with the above command
Open the backed up proinfo.bin with HxD and rewrite the serial number at the beginning.
python mtk wl "Destination path"
Flash the rewritten proinfo.bin with the above command.

I used to be able to do this, but I just tried it with a globalised tablet and it didn't work: the BROM mode (press power and volume plus simultaneously to connect the cable) is difficult to connect and even if it does, an error message appears and the process stops. When I get more time, I will switch back to zui14 and give it a try.

Nice one! I can test it tomorrow. It's actually easier to pull the proinfo.bin file using MTK META Utility by using option Dump NV region. I was able to get and edit the file. Not sure how to flash it again on ZUI with a unlocked bootloader. But that's a start. I managed to get another Serial number by flashing another user's backup, but I still have L3, so might not be connected. I'll keep trying.

I actually managed to get it back by flashing the edited proinfo.bin file using this command on ZUI with unlocked bootloader and OEM unlocked: fastboot flash proinfo proinfo.bin
Now let's see if it impacts or not L3. Testing...
