Effects of unlocking bootloader

Hi guys. I just bought a Mate 8 and am thinking about unlocking the bootloader. However, on my previous device Sony Z2, unlocking bootloader has some unwanted after effects like poor camera quality as a result of losing DRM keys. So before I do anything just want to know if it's the same with Mate 8, since I understand the camera was kinda made by Sony.

Unlocking is very hazardous !
Unlocking your bootloader will cause your cat to up-chuck a fur ball on your lap.

Try this with PC:
https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index

Something not mentioned by others in this thread is that if you unlock your bootloader when you boot a message pops that is telling you that you have unlocked bootloader and this device cannot longer be trusted this adds a little delay.
Also as a side-note i have been trying to unlock my bootloader from September through to official huawei(including several emails sent and social media complaining) way but gave up yesterday and forked over 4 dollars to dc-unlocker and within 5 minutes i had the bootloader code

also what i want to know, is it easy to lock the bootloader in the future, and return everything back to original state? ie undetected that it has been unlocked

Help with DC pheonix!!

So here's my condition- (FRD-L02C675)
no google services and huawei apps
bootloader-locked
FRP-locked
dload-doens't works(idk why)
factory reset by any method does nothing
OEM unlock- Greyed out
Can't use DC unlocker because can't access the "projectmenu" through dialler hence can't enable manufacturer mode
So I read that DC pheonix can "write firmware in fastboot with bootloader and FRP lock condition"
Can anyone Guide me as to what should I do? I am currently on EMUI 8 and want to downgrade to Android 6.0!

Read the guide in the DC-Unlocker site. it will be sort 3 different methods to unlock/flash firmware and recover your phone.
I used it three times to bring back my phone to life.

It says writing OEMinfo but L02 isn't in the list shown in DC unlocker. Where do I find OEMinfo file for my device? I can add it to DC pheonix then

Finally install TWRP without unlocking Bootloader with Code

Hello Guys,
long i searched for a method of unlocking the bootloader of eml-l29 Huawei P20. No i didnt find any, and qu1ckr00t didnt prove to be useful either.
it is not relevant anymore. since i did use testpoint too often in research of what is possible and what not, the device died just a few minutes ago. it always enters now only the usb huawei com mode. probably i used to much pressure on the testpoints or what or i accidentally short circuited other points with the screwdrivers.. but as a matter of fact, it is hardware bricked and the board is done for i think. so i dont search for a solution anymore.
people, see this thread as a resource what is possible without unlocking the bootloader and what not. i figured out following things are fact without unlocking the bootloader, so that you all doesn't have to try instead of me:
- you can flash with the testpoint short circuited and the software dc-phoenix and the right chipset/cpu bootloader chosen in temporary bootloader the twrp to erecovery_ramdisk and recovery_ramdisk, it will be permanently available after the process
- you cannot install magisk on it, since xloader seems to block the bootup and always sends you to recovery-mode (which means twrp if you flashed this)
- you cannot install a custom rom like OpenKirin with the testpoint recovery mode, as it - like with magisk, always will send you to recovery mode - i tried it exactly how it is explained on openkirin.net and it always turned out the same
- there is no bootloader unlock code in the nvme partition, i checked it - it seems there is encryption going on there
- the exploit qu1ckr00t is not usable, since the kernel is compiled with spinlock_debug
- and i forgot first: if you have the idea of soldering a cable for testpoint short circuit - no, letit be. you will only hang forever in huawei usb com 1.0 mode - it wont boot normally as long as you're in tp mode
so basically, there is way to get root, it is a way to get to direct data from the partitions. but at the end, the question that arises is - how much profit are you gaining from root or custom roms on this device at the end? in my case, the many tries costed my time, my nerves and now the device itself. it is gone for good. maybe this is for the best, as i never treated it right since i bought it (it had to be repaired two times in 2 years, which is a lot for a normal device at this amount of time) and i only have bad memories in my life with it (lots of things happened, but this is not the right place for such tellings).
my final message for this part of this board (not the board i damaged thou) - leave it alone, don't waste your time anymore on this. move on, there are cheap devices that are better, faster and unlockable too at this day and time. i moved on to my new Nokia 7.2, which is awesome.
so stay healthy guyz.
my journey of exploring the depths of huaweis device huawei p20 eml-l29 ends here. its sad, but at the same time i'm happy that the "horror" of an unlockable bootloader is finally over.

Thanks for your effort and sharing the info. Good luck with new phone
Note: my next phone won't be Huawei, for sure, due to bootloader locking, I am fed up with them

Yes,
I even have no sorry with them if they go down because of the Google lockout. Their strategy is to pull people away from Google PlayStore? Yes, sure. Good luck.
Unlock bootloader and promise to keep it open for P10 upwards and we are happy. Otherwise... byebye and fcku.

What if I have my unlock code? Can I still unlock it or it's impossible now? I requested my code before they stop the bootloader unlocking, but never did anything with it.

How do you root it? AFAIK anything newer than EMUI8 is no longer rootable.
I'm on EMUI 10, with an unlocked bootloader, please tell me how to root.

P40 Lite E, ART-L29, EMUI 10, Bootloader Unlock?

Hello,
I am trying to find a way to unlock bootloader on my P40 Lite E. I tried brute-force method from github: SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader. Unfortunately it seems, that on Emui 10 the command used to unlock it with fastboot was disabled. Does anybody know if there is a way to somehow bypass it?
I though about downgrading to Emui 9, since I found some articles saying this used to be the pre-installed version on this phone, but again, no luck. Neither could have I found any Emui 9 files for this phone, nor was I able to downgrade using HiSuite.
I'm wondering, maybe it would be possible to use files for some other Huawei, but I am no expert, hence my question - what should I do to achive my goal? Any tip will be helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for any mistakes and generally my bad english
