Why no ROMs for P30pro ? - Huawei P30 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other

Since i bought the P30pro the first what i made was take a look into XDA and searching for ROMs and Kernel Stuff, but what is the reason there is not only one Rom ? Is it the Fastboot Mode ?

Because Huawei doesn't allow us to unlock bootloaders. The worse company it's Huawei, too bad that they're making great devices, but customer support it's 0.

Huawei doesnt allow their bootloaders to be unlocked, they stopped giving out bootloader codes when they release EMUI 9

maybe because the chinese party doesn't want to lose the tracking code embedded in the official rom of Huawei devices

Many users waiting for a hack to do it.
Awesome device I love it all year's i use it already. One if the best phones i ever used.
But without custom stuff it feels always old :/
Maybe I have to learn coding and Hack the bootloader on my own

There is a method to unlock P30 Pro bootloader now, you don't get a code to unlock but they have to connect to your pc and unlock it via special tools.

5. Enabling dual-sim features on single-sim phones.
6. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
--NOTE: SOME OF THESE FEATURES NOT AVAILABLE ON P20 SERIES YET. SEE NEXT POST--
You do not need to unlock your bootloader, or void your warranty to use the service. (except the free rooting feature)
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service as well as our rebranding tool within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/exclusive-att-huawei-mate-10-pro-firmware/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
FunkyHuawei, due to popular request, is now offering an unlimited pass. You can break your phone all you want, and turn to FunkyHuawei to unbrick it however many times you need to. You can also install all the latest updates, beta versions, and so on, without worrying about spending credits. You can check out more details on FH's reddit or homepage.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Please be sure to read the terms of service as well as the instructions very thoroughly before using the tools, to understand the potential risks of using them.

These unlock codes can be provided for free to customers who purchase an unlimited pass from today.
See details from the link on the main page of the site.
P20 and P20 Pro Device Information.
Currently, here is what we support on the P20/P20 Pro series.
Installing new firmware/unbricking via eRecovery: SUPPORTED
Rebranding with unlocked bootloader: AVAILABLE NOW!
Rebranding with locked bootloader: COMING, MIGHT BE A WHILE
Unbricking from fastboot: COMING, MIGHT BE A WHILE
Since it is a new device on a new OS, some things have changed and we need to update some of our methods to fully support it.
Those who would like to test rebranding with an unlocked bootloader before we release it, please contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on recent Huawei phones (Sorry EMUI 8.1 phones not yet supported. Coming soon), to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!
We now have the following firmwares available to install with eRecovery method:
CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C432) - European
CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C636) - Asia/Pacific
More will be added soon.
CLT-L29 8.1.0.108(C185) now available for Middle East P20 Pro.
We have successfully rebranded the P20 series. Tools will be released pretty soon.
(Bootloader will need to be unlocked for the first wave of tools)

No... we don't have any contacts at Huawei to ask. AFAIK project treble will let custom rom development go on quite easily even without kernel sources.

Yes. But it's possible the phone has an internal secondary IMEI which it simply doesn't show on the settings. We haven't had a way of figuring out exactly how it works IMEI-wise, but both sims do work. It's been this way for generations of Huawei phones.

Huawei P20 Pro 6/64 CLT-AL01

Hello everyone
I got my Huawei P20 Pro 6/64 CLT-AC01 today in the mail.
It is locked to Chinese region, and doesn't has any of the gapps installed.
I looked for several hours through the forum and on Google today, and I can't find any way to flash a different region ROM to it (often referred to as Debranding)
Also, I read that Huawei canceled the option to unlock the bootloader - I tried it on several ways today and got to a 404 on the unlock page.
Could someone tell me how do I change the region of the device to a normal international one?
Thanks! Can't wait to start using this beautiful device.
Your last option might be funkyhuawei

Yours is uncommon one indeed. 90-99% P20 Pro out there is 6/128GB, yet you have 6/64
I talked to Huawei support in 3 countries.
They refuse to supply me with an unlock code and it looks like i'm stuck with this device
You probably got either a early test device or a fake one.
Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk
It's the Chinese P20 Pro is normal to have 64GB...
I was in the same situation, same model of phone, two weeks ago but I had luck getting the unlock code the last day. When the unlocked bootloader I could debrand the phone following the guide in this forum. As they won't give the unlock code, your only option is funky or dc-unlocker when they support the phone. Also I found an indian guy that maybe could do it, his webpage is called ministry of solutions . But I don't know if it is reliable.
Good luck

Will realme 2 supports bootloader unlock and will release kernal sources?

Realme 2 has launched with snapdragon 450 and a good compitetor with redmi 5 (3+32) and any one know about unlocking bootloader of realme 2, will they support unlocking bootloader?
Most probably, no. But lets see, it has SD soc right now and both asus and xiaomi are providing bootloader to be unlockable.

May be yes
No. Realme 2 has no fastboot binaries even. Hence, though it has settings to OEM unlock, but apparently you can't flash anything.
Realme 2 will not get support in unlock bootloader..as per realme 2 executive
This is what thier response to me when I contacted them on mail about bootloader unlocking
"Thank you for writing to Realme Customer Service regarding Rooting of the device inquiry.
We would like to bring to your notice that it is not advisable for users to root the device as this will void the warranty of the product. This is in line with the terms and conditions mentioned in our warranty card provided with every product at the time of sale. In this case, the user has to bear the expenses of any repair that the phone may need in the future.
Moreover, we have taken your feedback and shared the same with the concerned team so that they can look into your suggestions.
In case of any further suggestion/inquiry, you can also contact us by calling on our toll-free number 1800-102-2777 from Monday to Sunday, 0900 AM to 0700 PM or you can also reply back to us on the same email."
I also got the same mail, i think they provide a method to unlock the bootloader if they get many mails regarding the unlocking of bootloader. If u guys want the developement of realme 2 please send a mail to realme care regarding this.

Oppo-RealMe = Won't allow you to unlock your bootloader!
Best Specs killed by bad OEM+OS!
One of the worst OS I have ever used. Never buying any Oppo family device again. Neitheerthe ROM has any theme manager, nor can we install using its apk from other handsetd. Moreover, we cant hide the Nav bar using adb. No root, no fastboot binaries, hence no custom ROMs. Its firmware has such an extension (*.ofp) which cannot be extracted except the latest version of UFI/Miracle box, which needs you to buy a new hardware not available in my country(wanted to extract boor.img). Still phone has OEM unlock settings under developer options. This is worse than even the latest iphone(which too has nothing and the high price is just for their logo).
Would never recommend anyone to buy any handset having ColorOS ROM.
They will allow to unlock the bootloader as the ceo said they will soon upgrade the ui and will launch there own color os and will also help developer.

Working method to unlock bootloader

Hi guys,
Now that Huawei is not providing unlock codes through their site, is there any other way to unlock bootloader?

No free method. There are a few paid ones like DC or Ministry Of Solution. Anyway, since the development is already dead the only plus of an unlocked BL is the Root benefits and the occasional ROM that'll boot. There aren't any developers for hi6250 also.
Thanks for your reply.
So I've unlocked the phone using DC unlocker. Paid some bucks to get the username and password.
The only reason I wanted to unlock is to install EMUI 8.

Huawei bootloader unlocking in general

I decided I would like to. Make a petition about terrible support for custom Rom community on Huawei devices. It's not the support itself, it is Huawei (how we all know) you know it sucks when you get an amazing deal on eBay for an p20 pro in this case and it turns out to be a demo model and you can't use it properly. Normally you as a member of the custom Rom community would unlock it and flahs latest official software on it, well not on a Huawei device, because they shut down their official unlock service quite some time ago, but I think this needs to stop. That's why I created a petition for unlocking Huawei phones officially (or whilst this isn't my goal, someone telling on how the read the code manually, but I prefer an official unlock)
[url]http://chng.it/NW5vbSJ8[/URL]
Yes, I published this once already but... It got removed I think... Never got an response
Why not just use the dload method to flash the last firmware? No need to unlock.
Huawei wants its own echosystem, unless locked bootloader affect its profit seriously, Huawei won't think bit of the choice at all. So I don't think Huawei would care about your petition.
And, after buying P20 Pro, I say thousands times of 'good bey' to Huawei.

Yeah, I would try the dlaod method via USB OTG. Huawei is not going to unlock their bootloaders because of a petition. There are larger issues that motivate them to keep it locked.
Best petition, stop buying their bootloader locked devices.
