Hello everyone!
I have good news for you. After Huawei decided to stop providing the bootloader code, now we have another method to get it.
Unfortunately, it is a method that need to pay.
To the date I'm making this post, the cost is $30€.
Let me be clear:
I do not have a relationship with this people/team/person. I just want to share this method and prove that it works on the Mexican/Canadian model.
A good news, is that they accept PayPal.
If you want to try it, you have to do the following steps:
1.- Go to https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-service-all-new-models-new-firmwares.
2. -Click: "Click here to order with PayPal".
3.- Now in your phone, go to the "phone" app and dial *#06#, you will see your IMEI and Serial Number.
3.5.- I suggest to copy those codes, and email you so you won´t have typing errors.
4.- Insert your IMEI and Serial Number into the webpage of ministry of solutions.
5. Make the payment with your paypal account.
6. After 24-48 hours, you will get the bootloader code in the email you used for paypal.
7. Be happy and unlock you bootloader.
I can ensure the web is working correctly. I unlocked mine a few moments ago, now I will rebrand
Thanks.
The guy can only sell 10 code per day, I need to wait tomorrow to order again..

I suspect this means that his solution is not exploit based, but revolves around either working for Huawei, or knowing someone who does and getting the codes via them.
Doesn't bode well.
Whoever they are , fair play to them. There's obviously a market for them and they deserve the money.
That said , president of HUAWEI probably want more money so he closed their page and assigned Mutahhar
So bootloader unlocked , what will you guys do now with it ?
Will you install LOS or ?

I will give a chance to Huawei and Android Pie version they will make.
But I like LineageOS so much that I will install it in the future. I unlocked my bootloader (and have this fuc…. message each time I reboot the device) only to be able to install custom roms when I will like to do so.

I have run official LOS on at least a half dozen different phones and I have never run a single build that didn't have bugs. Ever. I don't understand all the love for an OS that receives reports of new bugs from users after every single update.

I fully understand your point and I am sure you have your reasons.
But for my point of view, this is exactly how a community should work. People making development could not do everything good every time.
Even big corporation do mistake. For example, my wife had trouble with her iPhone 7 and 12.0 (unable to connect to 5Ghz Wifi). After 12.0.1 it is correct.
On my devices, only some applications were not working correctly. I was able to use my devices on a daily basis, without restriction (personal mail, corporate mail with Outlook, Maps/Waze, listening to music, some games,...). And for my personal experience, updates went smooth, only some (less than 2 per year) went wrong. But I could always flash back and wait for the correction to be applied by people in charge.
The only drawback for me was the battery, it was difficult to length 1 day.
But again, I fully understand and you have the right to not choose LineageOS and use something else.

I guess it has to do with how long I have been using custom ROMs. When I started using them years ago devs only worked on ROMs for devices they used themselves every day and the ROMs were not only stable enough to use as a daily driver but offered better performance and features than the stock ROM which is why people used them. Since the devs created ROMs for their own phones they were aware of bugs before posting builds. They didn't rely on users telling them what was wrong with every build after it was uploaded. When a custom ROM was labeled as stable it very rarely had any bugs.
Devs now routinely build or maintain ROMs for phones they don't use (or rarely use) so the ROMs always have bugs. I don't think custom ROMs are stable enough to use as daily drivers anymore but a lot of people seem to be fine with using custom ROMs that are slower and way more buggy than the stock ROM that comes on their phone. To each his own.
Why repost something a day later? https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/bootloader-unlock-service-t3852447
Because I can.
try this... good service and low price, tested on mine p20 pro from mexico..... https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
is this the same as unlocking your sim? im on telcell and i got zero updates, so im guessing i need to unlock it from telcel? or can i just unlock the bootloader with the code? and also, what do you do with the code once you have it?

hey guys, i used funky Hauwei for rebranding from L04 to L29 international. and is working fine. im on l29(c636) but im working on erecovery now, im trying to get it to CLT-L29 9.0.0.108 but we will see. and i will let you know.
but the rebranding is a little tricky but works.
Okay update. Had to go back to L04 because when I went from 8 to pie while branded as L29. It wouldn't install due to compatibility issues. So had to rebrand back to L04. Recovery through funky Huawei. First 8 then 9 and worked perfectly. Only issues I have are with the telcel branding on start up. But all the bloatware I removed or disabled in CCleaner. So I don't have to look at the icons all the time. I'm currently running pie and it's awesome. Lots of cool new tweaks

Ok more specifically I'm pretty used to the stock android experience (modded of course) but I read about that audio issue and I'm pretty terrified of it because music and calls are the main things I need a phone for. I've been out of the modded android loop since CM10 so I don't really know present day standards or processes for unlocking/rooting let alone standards for ROMs etc. Anyone got any advice?

my words of advice would be to make sure that you need root before you root it. what i mean by that is think about what you stand to gain by rooting it vs the PITA it is to root this thing. Pay close attention to the 168 hour thing as its been a thorn in many a persons side and caused many a headache. Ive had dozens of android phones and all have been rooted with the exception of the HTC Rezound, which required the OMG PITA "wire trick" to root properly. These phones run very well as stock and dont have much bloatware, so rooting them is becoming less necessary. I got mine in july '18 and have been happy with its performance overall so far. Ive reflashed the stock tar.img a few times for varying reasons, and even rooted it. But after losing SPay capability with root, i flashed back to stock as the gains werent worth the losses to me. Also, SHealth is a task to get working after you trip knox btw.

Yeah tbh I'm ok with the interface now and aside from making the volume buttons change tracks when you hold them down the only things id need root for is clearing out bloatware etc. I think I'll take your advice and not root it for now (until something breaks) but what is this 168 hour thing?

there has been a great deal of discussion about how to get the OEM unlock toggle to show up in the developer options, many suggest that its only obtainable by leaving the phone powered off for 168 hours and then rebooting, not connecting to any network (including cellular) and then enabling developer options and then the toggle should be there.

So wait. My phone is showing the OEM unlock toggle and I can change it. Does that mean I can root? Or would trying to root then make me wait 168 hours? I never tried any custom stuff with it btw. Just bought and installed Lawnchair lol.

Hit the toggle and it'll ask for your pw, then you can flash a custom recovery via Odin

be careful with starting down the root rabbit hole tho. if you flash anything in download mode, youll trip the knox security counter and that is 100% irreversible without sending it to samsung. Root is cool and allows you to do stuff, but honestly ive not found too much reason to root this phone yet. Ive literally had over 20 android phones and i rooted and modded all of them (except the rezound, if you want to know why that one wasnt fully rooted, just google "rezound wire trick" and youll see) and this one just really doesnt need root IMO. Sure it would be nice to have a few root things, but its not worth the trade off of losing samsung pay so i can pay for stuff with my watch. That feature is just waaaay too valuable to me

Will you stop telling people that you will mess up phone if you try to root it.
If people follow directions they have nothing to worry about.
You where bootloop not bricked a brick device is usually a unfix able.
If is fine you what to keep Sam pay but your info you are telling is wrong.
I recently unroot my phone guess what Sam pay work fine.
Then root phone again no lock out and enable treble and flashed gsi image.
So their nothing wrong with rooting if you want to do that.

dude, i dont think youre reading what im saying right. Ive never said that rooting your phone will mess it up. the stuff about the G900V is a DIFFERENT PHONE. FFS. This isnt my first rodeo rooting and modding. Hell, i even was writing mods back in the Evo and S3 days. Im refamiliarizing myself with some of this, but i havent ever said youd mess your phone up if you follow the root instructions. Ill even go as far as saying as long as you dont Odin flash the tar.img for a completely different phone, these things are virtually impossible to hard brick. And yes, a bootloop is referred to as a soft brick. But, it is important to know that if you do root your phone, it WILL make samsung health not work as it did when stock and there is NO WAY of bringing it back without swapping the motherboard

Unlocking the bootloader was completely dependent on the type of EMMC chip that the G900V that you had was using. I got three of those and only one was able to unlock after the Marshmallow update.

the last tinkering i did with the G900V was several years ago and that was at the point when all hope was lost on the locked bootloader. I havent looked into it since as the G900's i had were G900P's which were FAR easier to work with. I did also root and ROM a couple G900VL's, but again was years ago

You'll be waiting for two weeks or more. I set oem lock to "off" in settings, and then did "fastboot oem lock" like an idiot and I literally can't get into my phone at all now. All fastboot commands fail and I can't reboot into recovery either because it just says "your device is corrupt" every single time. I contacted oneplus support multiple times and they told me "we don't have anything available yet to help you, so you can just return it to us." Huge waste of time speaking to all those useless reps and I'm definitely not going to buy another oneplus product again. It's actually ridiculous that they don't just provide those tools upon release, especially when this issue has PERSISTED across all of their devices. I still have the phone for now, so if anyone finds a useful Oneplus rep who actually has the tools, or if someone figures out how to fix this issue, please let me know.

1. If you do your research before just throwing fastboot commands you would have read that others on here have done the same, so do your homework.
2. If it's ridiculous that they don't just provide those tools upon release, especially when the issue has PERSISTED across all of their devices, then why run fastboot oem lock?
Everyone is always so quick to blame OEMs but not their own poor decision making. Take responsibility for your own actions even if you run them in cmd prompt.

Thank you for your reply. This is my first time owning a OnePlus device, so I hadn't looked at anything at on any of the community forums about it except how to root it and install magisk.
My last device was a razer phone 2, which had similar steps towards rooting it, and I actually did use "fastboot flashing lock_critical" to re-lock the bootloader after unlocking it, so I assumed that it would be the same for the oneplus, which in hindsight, obviously I was wrong.
But even if that was a minor screw up, I can't access the device at all, and that's what's bugging me. I do frequent backups, so having an option to erase all my data wouldn't be an issue if that was given, but not having that option at all and then bring told by OnePlus that the only option is to return it is absurd. I appreciate your feedback towards what I said, and if you are a OnePlus employee then I'm still standing by what I said and calling all of the 'support' I received useless, as it was just a waste of time and didn't lead to any sort of fix

LOL if I was a OP employee I would be helping out with the MSM tool! I cannot tell you the last device I rooted and installed ROMs on as its probably been close to 5 years and I see many things have changed. This is my first OP device since the original OP. I'll have my bin tonight but I am 99% sure I am going to wait for the MSM tool to come out whenever and do the international conversion that way. I hope you get everything sorted out!

Bashing OP support reps here is uncalled for. A rep can't help you because the method of trying to do what you want wasn't built into the software. Not the reps fault they can''t fix that they didn't build the software. Also OEM unlocking, rooting, flashing ROMs isn't covered by any type of warranty or support. So you better be thankful they are letting you send it in. If you choose to root, mod, or install software it's at your own risk.

I just need to get rid of the T-Mobile software. between the non fuctioning OnePlus site and the standard wait time it will be a month possibly before I get the unlock bin
Any new information around?

As far as I know, what we have is for the GM21AA for 9.5.3.
I think I saw one for the T-Mobile variant here as well, just haven't paid much attention there because I have AA model personally.
Not too sure about GM21BA either, someone add info for that here if you want.

I thought you had the 7pro already... I'm guessing I seen you on the 6t side

I do! I have the global model so I tend to focus on stuff here that applies to my model lol I had the 6T for a while but did move over to the 7 Pro.
I've wanted to try out an Honor x series for a while, but at the time MIUI was considered a resource hog and there weren't many clean roms for their chips without it yet. Someone was cleaning up their office and handed me an Honor 6x with the stickers still on the back. Looks like it was turned on but never really used beyond evaluation purposes.
I see that this handset is already aging and that some development went on but may have stopped by now already... what do I need to know? Is it worth experimenting with ROMs on this to get the most out of it? Or should I not bother since the scene is leaving?
Can I even flash roms on this thing if it was never unlocked before?
I started reading and searching here, but I feel like I don't even know what questions to ask. Who can fill me in?
Thanks!

For successfully flashing roms, you need to have bootloader unlock code. Huawei has stopped providing codes way back in mid 2018. I think u should not bother much for this phone.
I have got a spare honor 6x, it has been quite easy (2hr) to unlock it with dc unlocker android app (4€) + dc-unlocker on windows
I'd rather pay 4€ than wait 15days like with Xiaomi
I was wondering if anyone else purchased the unlocked version from Samsung and it arrived with Developer options already enabled.
I have never seen that before, so it made me wonder if somehow I was receiving a device that had been returned. There don't appear to be any issues (packaging was sealed, device appeared new, etc).
The alternative would be that it restore the menu as part of the transfer from a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra backup, but this would be the first time. The Note 20 was restored from an S10 Plus, but the settings had to be enabled again on the new device.

Maybe an engineering build fell into the production line by mistake, please check if it's an engineering build
That would be a game changer, for people developing custom roms and gaming drivers for it

Samsung claimed it was "a new change for the ease of our users" until I questioned it. It then became a software glitch. I don't know

Oh well XD
So Samsung support is a lot like Amazon. If it isn't in the FAQs, they attempt to make up an answer or connect you to someone else. Pretty sure I could have spent an hour getting help trying to make calls on my toaster if I sounded confident it's possible.
I was initially asked for my IMEI to answer the question. I asked how a device that just released would have an expired warranty, but was told it was to verify the device was new. After giving it, I was told about having the premium warranty...
This led to being told how the option was enabled as a new way to make things easier on the user. When asking why they enabled something that could potentially void my warranty, I was sent to someone else who claimed it was a glitch. When asking why the OEM unlock option was missing (which I later found has a time delay on newer devices), I was put on hold for 15 minutes.
I finally said I had somewhere to be and was told they were happy to have helped. I still don't know if it was part of the restore, but i'll be waiting the week to make sure OEM unlock appears before I go back to discuss a defective firmware.
I did a restore from my s21 Ultra and the developer options was not enabled. Also oem unlock was there from the first second I enabled it.
Interesting... I am torn between wiping to find out if that fixes it and trying to fix it first to end up wiping it anyway.
