Question on P30 demo phone - Huawei P30 Questions & Answers

Hello guys, friend of mine got a bunch of P30 ELE-L29 phones that are demo devices.
Is there a way i can unlock the bootloader on those to install a retail version of android ?
So far i tried to remove retail demo and experience apps via adb, but we have no fingerprint sensor and phone isnt working as we want to.
Thanks for your time on this.

No. They're basically paper-weights.

Have you made sure that your device isn't actually rooted, or has an unlocked bootloader then?

It's working now. From my experience, every time there's an update for the Chinese version, Android pay will stop working for a few days (usually less than a week). So if you want your Android pay to work without interruption, just wait a week a so after you receive the notice for a fw update.

I'm not the sharpest person on here but it seems Google is taking security very seriously.
It's possible. Do a little searching on these forums and there is a guy on Facebook that will unlock it for free. He does give his paypal so you can donate if you want.

Some unlocked phones weren't unlocked properly and actually Sprint models. Essential fixed this recently which caused those phones to be relocked.
Best bet is to get a hold of Sprint or wherever you bought it from. Sounds like that unlock "bug" was there for a very long time.

not sure why you're still asking a month later.
You have a different issue. Your phone is not sprint locked. Your phone is not sim locked, period.
Again, the modemst images used to unlock spr variants were dumped from openus devices.

Timeframe Question

Hey guys,
Sold my P2XL and am waiting to buy this thing. How long do we normally wait for an international device? Global rom? I'm contemplating buying the CN version and flashing the UK software over it once it becomes available, instead of waiting for the international hardware.
Thanks!
I'm waiting on global too. Don't want to have to unlock bootloader.

So, all the versions will come with locked bootloaders chinese/global roms. How are they unlockable?? Do we have to get the key from Xiaomi?
Normal xiaomi unlocking procedure using the unlocking tool. With my global xiaomi mi mix 2 (bought in Spain Amazon xiaomi store) I even had to use Chinese VPN to unlock it

Wow, that really sucks, the good old days seem in the past where you could plug it in and unlock it with the PC with command line tools.
Has anyone received the Mi Mix 3 and tested unlocking the bootloader yet? Was looking at ordering today. My Mi Mix came with the bootloader unlocked however does not appear to be an option on the selling sites.
Mix 3 is to be released in Taiwan at the end of Nov or early Dec, it'll be the global version. Don't know about other markets.
I ordered mine from geekbuying and hopefully will be mailed soon... I thought it was released 11/1/2018... That's weird...

Mine has been despatched from mi store on AliExpress, Some phones now unlock instantly, not sure how this is working. I've downloaded the program, only for Windows though which could be tricky for me. Maybe the Chinese ones can be unlocked instantly but not global. One person was trying to unlock his phone and managed it in 1 minute, so I explained to someone with mi maax global and it didn't work for him,
I think unlocking is account related, pretty sure you're now only allowed to unlock 1 phone per month.

yes,Unlocking and account association。 Previously MIX2 has been unlocked, it takes 72 hours, now the binding device can solve BL
If you buy from Gearbest/Aliexpress a lot of the time you'll get a vendor ROM therefore an unlocked bootloader.

Yes answered wrong question,. I have bought Chinese version, does it have to be released in you're country for you to buy it? Is a global version not good enough, that should be available in a few weeks.

CPH2025CW - Flash Global?

I have a CPH2025 running CW though I purchased it from Amazon UK and can confirm it's Unlocked Network wise, is there no way of flashing just a Global CPH2025 to it so I'm able to get updates quicker?
Nope
There's a flashing tool used by Oppo, Realme and OnePlus phones called MSN Download Tool.
It's what they use internally and there are always leaked / cracked versions available for OnePlus, but not so much Oppo. IF you managed to find the right version you could in theory change your software version. You'd need the tool and .ofp file (which is the full firmware).
I have a couple of cracked versions of the tool and OFP files that I stumbled across when trying to convert my Chinese version to global, but not willing to try on my CPH2025 in case I brick it (plus I have the global version so nothing to gain by doing so). Sure Oppo would reflash under warranty if you could be bothered with the inconvenience of not having a phone for a week.

Unlikely, there are only a few leaked versions of the full firmware, I have found A14 and A29, as ColorOS 11 isn't even out yet is say there is zero chance of getting a leaked version that someone has cracked.... Just have to wait.
It is actually possible to change to global! I put a small tutorial up on Twitter to show you how to do it.

Does it factory reset the phone? How is 4g/5g performance when you switch regions? I imagine Singapore would use different bands... And how does it look with Google Pay, certifications, Widevine etc?
Update: Never mind, tried it, the *# code is actually for a realme device, can't find one specific to Find X2 or X2 Pro, and have no idea if there is a way to extract a list of those secret codes from the device itself...

The *# works on the Find X2 Pro. It's not Realme-specific. Google Pay still works for me and didn't notice any mobile data difference. No factory reset either
I've tried and it works. Changed the region a few times, tried Singapore, UK, then the multi-language E - all worked fine. It even disabled and enabled region specificNone of them have me a ColorOS 11 update though which is why I was doing it.
However, I changed to Thailand True and now this procedure doesn't work. Now stuck on Thailand ?. My fault for playing too much!

Thanks for the post Adam, you've made a lot of people very happy. This change in regional settings had enabled people to get ColorOS 11 early, replace carrier specific software for a more generic version, get features like the Theme Store and call recording working and even opened up the possibility of having dual SIM on a single SIM variant!
Cheers buddy! ?
