Well, I got a Nokia 7 Plus prototype (TA-1062), and I'm able to dump emmc from it.
Now I'm working on homebrew firmware - not sure if it can be flashed into retail unit.
I hope @blackpanther0582 could release Retail Android One firmware - even flashing it requires service point authentication.
BTW, I rooted the Nokia 7 Plus prototype easily.

I was thinking of buying N7P instead of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5,but I read that Nokia doesn't allow users to unlock the bootloader, so no custom ROMs, no TWRP and no root. That is a big no for me personally.
How did you root your phone? Care to share some info?

Prototype phones already have bootloader unlocked...
What I did are:
1. Enter Qualcomm EDL Mode with an EDL cable, then use QFIL to dump the whole emmc to get image.
2. Dump boot partition.
3. Use Magisk Manager to patch boot.img separately.
4. Flash this boot.img on either fastboot mode or EDL cable.
That's it.
I wonder if a retail phone can achieve these.
NOTE: Nokia 6 TA-1000 with locked bootloader requires an extra procedure to process boot.img in order to root the phone.

I didn't know that prototypes have their bootloader unlocked!
Hopefully, by the time it hits European stores, the Chinese who got it first might have figured something out. Or maybe, as it's part of Android One, it will be obligatory to allow users to unlock the bootloader.

I have the firmare will upload it tomorrow. Is there a forum created for Nokia 7+ already ??
Thank you, if root will be avaible I'll definitely consider buying the phone.
What do you think of the phone? Quality of screen, performance, battery...
How were you about to get a prototype device? What about the retail chinese phones? I was thinking about importing them from ebay/aliexpress but im not sure if they'll be able to have their bootloader unlocked, no one has tried so far to my knowledge.

I still have no idea of if the bootloader on China Variant is unlockable.
But, if you're going to buy Nokia 7+ from China, here's some warning:
1. Only Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional) and English is available on the phone.
2. You can install Play Store manually, but you must told the seller that preserves everything on stock to prevent from tampered system.
3. If the system got damaged, you have to find someone who can provide service support to flash your phone. I don't know if you can flash Android One firmware for global release since I don't have one.

Thanks for that info, on point 2 regarding play store does that extend to Google services also? Wifey is holidaying in China and just bought one and thought to buy another for me but I'm holding her off until I can be sure as I rely on Google services a great deal. Also why must the seller be informed, is that a warranty issue or software update issue?
And on point 3, presuming she brings the phone back to New Zealand is there a way I can help the community to explore flashing Android One global release firmware?

If you can buy it from China directly, informing seller is not necessary. For example, if you can buy it from Jing Dong or Suning, you needn't to worry about tampered OS, and that means you can receive further updates.
If you buy it from eBay or AliExpress, the system is probably tampered by seller which you can't get further updates.
As for install Play Store, it's really easy - just find Play Store APK from APKPure, APKMirror whatever and install it on the phone, this will allow you to get access to Play Store. Then you can install any other Google Apps on Play Store manually. You needn't to root your phone and install opengapps.
Since Android One firmware hasn't released yet and the bootloader isn't unlockable, you can't flash it right now.
Nokia 7 plus is available on Amazon europe sites like Germany and Italy and others and also ships worldwide and release date showing 12 to 14 or 15 april

Big question here! I am going to europe and want to buy this phone there, the problem is that the model they are selling don't have band 4 (1700/2100) and i need it in my country. Is there a way to fix this? Is a model in europe with band 4? Can i flash the modem with band 4? Thanks a lot!
As the phone should be available, are there any news about the firmware of Europe phones? Is the bootloader unlocked / unlockable?

There are updates to Oreo for model FRD-L09C432 (B562, actually). You can find it with Firmware Finder by Team-MT. Just do a forum search for instructions. There are several install guides.
Which way you install the update depends on your situation. Is the official way not working for you? I suggest you try it with HiSuite and update via USB cable. It's the easiest and safest way.
As I had unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed I used HuRUpdater using this guide and it worked well (even if it's already released - it doesn't matter - you only need to choose correct firmware; model / region / version: FRD-L09/C432/B562)

There is a possible workaround which I did last week.
First, I had upgraded version of Android 8.0 (MHA-L29 8.0.0.375(C567)(Stock Official) and possible to obtain the bootloader code when I start this process.
Here is what I did.
1. Downgrade to Android 7.0(EMUI 5.0) by using Huawei's HiSuite software
Click "Update" and select earlier version.
Current : MHA-L29 8.0.0.375(C567)(Official)
Earlier : MHA-L29C567B190(Official) | 2.45GB | Android 7.0(EMUI 5.0)
2. Using 3rd Party tool/service(about $5), I was able to get the bootloader code
In my case, I used DC-Unlocker tool(FREE) and purchasing 4 credits($4.71).
With the bootloader code, you can move to the next steps(root, custom ROMs, etc...)
Hope it helps!

In fact, I was not sure mine(from Android 8.0 to Android 7.0(EMUI 5.0)) could also downgrade, too.
(Yes, I did not expect to work to be honest with you.)
It would be good to try since it does not cost anything except your time (back up data and actual trying).
Again, I started from MHA-L29 8.0.0.375(C567)(Official Stock) to MHA-L29C567B190(Official) | Android 7.0(EMUI 5.0)
Hope it works for you, too.

Yes, I saw this before I try - Well I took the risk.
I can only assume that my phone was fine since it was stock & locked boot loader when I downgrade.
Now, my phone is unlocked boot loader & rooted with latest OTA Update applied - when OTA applied,
it locked the boot loader again which I had to unlock it again.

Thanks & Really Sorry for misunderstanding & misreading.
Starting 8.0.0.377 and newer version can't downgrade it => it will brick the phone!
Up to MHA-L29 8.0.0.375(C567) and lower versions can downgrade by using Huawei's HiSuite software.
Hope this clears and provide right(safe) information. I do not want to provide dangerous (which will brick) information to all.
Again, Thanks:good: and Sorry for my mistake previously.

Hi, I have MHA-L29 8.0.0.370 (C432) security patch 1 july 2018, can i unlock the bootloader with DC-Unlocker ?
I tried to downgrade with Huawei's HiSuite (version 9.0.3.300_OVE) but the "Update, swith to other version" doesn't appear.
Up to which version 8.0.0.??? ( or security patch ? ) can Mate 9 be downgraded with Huawei's HiSuite
Up to which version 8.0.0.??? ( or security patch ? ) can DC-Unlocker unlock the bootloader ?
It seeems like you need to first upgrade from Nougat 7.x to Oreo 8.x WITH Huawei's HiSuite,
only then the "swith to other version" is available in Huawei's HiSuite to roll back from 8.x to 7.x ... correct ?

unfortunately there no unlock solution for us after gpu turbo ( from what i have read) and im plannig to sold my mate 9 as i have buying brand new xiaomi redmi note 7 and mi max 3.
this device has a very nice superb hardware but the locked bootloader really bad.
HI. I have a Mate 9 MHA-L00 with unlocked bootloader and installed KANGVIP ROM (Android 7...). I would like to try OpenKirin based PIE ROM, but in order to do that I would have to go back to stock EMUI and thus my bootloader would be re-locked. Is there a way to read the bootloader code again on an unlocked bootloader MHA-AL00? I am googling but can't find anything. I know there is DC-Unlocker but I would like to use that as a last resort. Thanks.
Hello guys !!
How are you today? because im ultra fine like all the days.
Well, i want to ask you if you can help me with this problem;
I Have a Smartphone Huawei, model "Mate 9 (MHA-09)", with Bootloader Locked, system Emui 9.1 = Android 9, FRP Unlocked.
For me, my 2 solutions are:
" Downgrade Emui 9.1 to Emui 9.0, then, to Emui 8, and finally, to unlock bootloader whit DC-Unlocker"
" Or change all the system with root, like the launcher, the notification panel, menu, etc"
I read about:
° HuRupdater
° Upgrade / Downgrade by SD Card With Dload
° Downgrade With Hi Suite 9.0 or 5.0 with FunkyHuawei
° Install TWRP whit NoChek
° Firmware Finder
° DC- Unlocker
° Xloader
° Update With SD 16Gb and not 32Gb
and i try, and i try.
and thats why i am here, i still can´t find those solutions, and i need help.
Can you help me please?

You can downgrade simply by HiSuite, see discussion (check also the earlier posts):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80889343&postcount=3
That way you can go down to EMUI 8 but not earlier than to the firmwares with Security patch 07/2018 or later
And you cannot (and must not - people hardly bricked various Huawei phones, not just Mate 9) roll-back further because at that time Huawei changed the Bootloader
It actually means that you cannot go back to be 'able' to use old/good DC Unlocker - instead of DC Unlocker you will have bricked device that can only be repaired by Testpoints method
Also, only by Testpoints method you can rollback to Oreo, Security patch 06/2018 or earlier, that you can then unlock by DC Unlocker.
It was discussed in one of the threads here for Mate 9, about two months ago - please search
It was also asked and answered in another Mate 9 thread (during the last month or so - please search, you will find) about the available options to unlock Bootloader - but all goes down to the Testpoints, and some costs (to Halabtech, HCU or a particular Telegram group) that are about 30 Euros or more
Only those who never upgraded over Oreo firmwares with Security patch 06/2018 (that is, who still have the older Bootloader) can simply unlock the Bootloader with DC Unlocker for about 4 Euros ;-(

Hello mate.
I had tried before posting, but it didn't work.
So far the temporary solution I found (which I also tried for Dload and Hi suite, and it did not work, maybe I am wrong) is to perform a Downgrade from Emui 9.1 to 9.0, then you can perform a Downgrade to Emui 8.0. (but it is not possible to do it directly from 9.1 to 8.0)
I have an information puzzle, I still can't get to Emui 8, I keep reading, trying, buy 4 credits in DC, and surprise, they can't unlock it, and I already tried so hard, for so long that I'm seeing if I already sell Huawei, and I add it to my friends list "Never Buy again"
as ise with LG, Samsung, Xiaomi.
It is frustrating, he became a dictator huawei with his Sisteman "Emui" with which I can not even clean my quiet ass without bothering with his updates

Yes, exactly as in my post you cited. You downgraded from 9.1 to 9.0, then from 9.0 to 8.0, but you are still with the newer 8.0 sharing the same new Bootloader as 9.0 or 9.1 - the same new Bootloader that cannot be unlocked for 4 EUR.
You would have to downgrade further, to the older 8.0 firmwares (before GPU Turbo and/or earlier than Security Patch 06/2018 - they usually correspond to the jump from the old xloader to the new one).
But such downgrading is not possible by e.g. HiSuite, and if you enforce it by DLOAD, you would jump to the band wagon with several other users of various Huawei devices who similarly wanted to 'cheat' - but instead of unlocking Bootloaders for the cheap 4 EUR, they hard-bricked their phones.
There is only one method to downgrade to that old xloader.img - TestPoints: it requires to open the phone, to shorten pins on the TestPoints at motherboard and then to use a special loader and driver by Huawei to flash the board image. You may have problems to restore IMEI(s).
If you are interested about, search on XDA and outside, you will find the guides.
Actually, there were even instructions here (not very detailed - requiring further research for resources), under the Mate 9, Q/A or Guides section (e.g., I remember that I have asked for how-to at late Aug or early Sep, got a short answer but I never pursued to try it on my own)
E.g., attached is a photo of TestPoints pins for Mate 9
finally, I have the solution

There is only one method to downgrade to that old xloader.img - TestPoints: it requires to open the phone, to shorten pins on the TestPoints at motherboard and then to use a special loader and driver by Huawei to flash the board image. You may have problems to restore IMEI(s).
If you are interested about, search on XDA and outside, you will find the guides.
Actually, there were even instructions here (not very detailed - requiring further research for resources), under the Mate 9, Q/A or Guides section (e.g., I remember that I have asked for how-to at late Aug or early Sep, got a short answer but I never pursued to try it on my own)
E.g., attached is a photo of TestPoints pins for Mate 9

Men, thanks for the answer, and sharing your time.
Well,
Finally, I found the solution that I wanted to apply a long time ago.
Which one?
simple; Take the cell phone, sell it and send the **** to Huawei.
I have downloaded softs from photos, on phone I have the latest pie 9 (with the possibility of returning to the previous version of pie but only one below). Which version of oreo 8 should I write to make the return to 8 work?

you can only flash firmware of the same revision of bootloader as the one youre currently on. For instance, the latest firmware release is A530FXXU9CTA2and the breakdown of the firmware is as such A530F (model number) XX (country code, XX is Europe) U9C (bootloader version) TA2 release date and version. The reason this is important is because the bootloader is where youll get stuck. If you can find an android 8 firmware set withthe same bootloader, youre good to go, but if not, youre stuck.
FWIW, youre stuck with a minimum of android 9 on your device now that you have the 9 bootloader installed. In the past, sammy has released android versions that use the new bootloader with the old version of android, theyve caught that now and id be shocked if you were able to find an Android 8 firmware with the U9C bootloader.
Youre stuck man.
