Is there any way to know IMEI code?

Hello,
Few days ago i bought HTC At&t Tilt/8925 in USA. Now i'm at home in europe and need to unLock it.
Also find in Ebay lots, where people who have access to some databases sell "UNLOCK Code For *At&t/Cingular* Tilt/8925", but they need IMEI code of phone at first.
So my question is how to find IMEI phone on locked phone?
As i know i must type "*#06#", but how can i do it, if the only sreen that i can view is
Network is locked, please input unlock code.
To make an emergency call, type the emeregency number and tap emergency
And field under that, where i must type unlock code?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So where i must type "*#06#"? in the that field and click ok? I'm afraid, that phone can understand that it's unlock code (and as i know i cann't type more than 5 wrong codes )
Any advice will be appreciated

remove the battery and it should be listed on the phone.

Or type *#06# in your phone dailer .

really
thx
there are 3 codes:
P/n
IMEI
S/N
Waw .. thanks ... so it's the right IMEI code?
Btw, need you advice , does unclocking phone with just codes (as on ebay) work really?
A check this guys have nice rating, but as you know sometimes, just ratings don't mean anything.
Once again, thank you ChumleyEX !

Normally you are able to get a code from at&t to unlock it so I would pay for anything. Also I think you can use a method from this site to unlock.
I'm not sure if you're able to call at&t, but if you can, just call them and tell them you are traveling over seas and you need to unlock it.

Note for WM6.1 users
================
Do not try this on 6.1! You will need to downgrade to 6.0

REMOVE YOUR SIM CARD!
That will stop the "Network Lock" Message from displaying.
Then you can get your IMEI from the Device Information Page or actually get into Windows Mobile and be able to use the Unlocker found here in the forums.

Make sure that your phone manufacturing date is before 11W29, otherwise you may hard-brick your phone.

Well, if its unlocked via imei, Im safe to unlock the bootloader... at least thats as far as I could gather by all the info scattered around.
To help narrow down the possible unlock method used, I can add that whenever the phone is rebooted, and there is a sim from a different Service Provider than the "original" one, it asks for a network unlock code. By tapping "skip" the phone then boots up and works just fine with any other Service Provider's sim.
This leads me to believe the phone was unlocked by other means than IMEI. And hence, all hopes of unlocking the bootloader are obliterated.

i used idoneApps gt3.1.5
in this app theres a option to unlock sim and when u click it on the ls991 it brings up a menu to enter a unlock code
now i know this app needs root to some extent but this may work on unrooted also.
that said i may be wrong but if im not mistaken the gsm unlock comes from sprint and its called a uicc unlock which modifys the carrier folder and a few other things to unlock it... not unlock code but again i myself have seen this option in the said app above and it may work ive never put in a code. i used the available free methods.
i see you say svc code or service code rite which is also ure msl which is only obtainable by sprint.
what firmware are you on??? u may be able to get a refund on that unlock code and do it yourself for free

The app requires root. If you are on ZVB or beyond won't work.

Can we still unlock the bootloader on the Honor 9 lite?

Hey all,
So I've heard that Huawei has stopped giving out unlock codes? I tried to go to their website to apply for it (giving my IMEI etc) and instead of giving me a code it just says 'please contact Huawei for questions'
I'm trying to set up project treble with it if I can figure it out.
Thanks!

You can with dc unlocker. You Just need to pay 5 euros and they Will unlock boatloader

I got my code on 08/06/2018
In the morning at 7:05 AM IST on 08/06/2018 i applied for my bootloader unlock code and i got it easily. BTW did you cross check other pre-selected options? Like 1st one asking EMUI version? Maybe that's the reason of you not getting unlock code.
Try again or Use the mailing method(I don't know much about but you have to mail the support to obtain the unlocking code and it might take upto 2-3 days)

Just got my code for bootloader unlock directly from Huawei no issues, although i will not be using straight away i have kept it in a safe place.

I tried through their portal, and via email. This was their response:
We do apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing, however, it is our duty to inform you that Huawei Canada does not provide codes to unlock the bootloader, root the device or provides any tool/code to modify the phone internally. We kindly inform you that this action can potentially "brick" the phone or in other words, renders the phone completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have no control over how unlocking the bootloader or rooting the phone, will affect your device.
We understand that you might be able to start the request to get the bootloader unlock code from our EMUI website, regrettably, your device does not qualify to receive this code, since the Huawei Canada warranty policy limits us to do not provide this code in order to prevent future inconveniences to our consumers.
This bootloader unlocks code, it is just limited to be available for certain specific regions.
We are aware that you can find unofficial information over the internet, about how to root or unlock your phone and due to our Security and Privacy Policies, we cannot provide you these codes or tools, for that reason, we cannot assist you in that matter.
We highly recommend you refrain from taking these actions on your device.

I read the instructions for unlock of Huawei mobile, it requires you erase the Huawei id.
How does that affect warranty?
Can you reapply the old id if necessary?

No, you can't. DC-Unlocker neither autodetects the phone nor is it in the manual selection list. Also https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones says no bootloader unlocking service for said phone.
On the other hand Huawei support gave me this reply (translated by me) :
Hello [censored],
sadly the bootloader unlock code service has been terminated completely. I'm really sorry but I can't help you.
Best wishes,

Not true !
https://hcu-client.com/supported-models.php
HCU will read the bootloader code easily (at a price) :-
https://hcu-client.com/
Read instructions carefully and follow them EXACTLY !
HCU is from the same stable as DC-Unlocker.

Thanks for this, it appears to be the only bootloader unlock method currently available. Have you actually done this yourself? Can you (or anyone else) confirm that it works?
By the "instructions", I assume you mean the tutorial at http://hcu-client.com/read-bootloader-code-huawei-phone/. They seem clear, but they don't tell you how to actually use the code to unlock the bootloader! Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that? Thank you.

Yep, I mean the tutorial.
I have used this method a good few times, all successfully .
Dc-Unlocker/HCU allows direct unlock on a lot of models and gives the unlock code on others.
To use this code, put phone in "fastboot" mode and issue the command :-
fastboot oem unlock code
Phone should factory re-set (erasing all user data) with an unlocked bootloader.

I can confirm. There's just one thing to note: Deinstall the adb drivers from Microsoft and use the ones shipped with HiSuite. Else there will be no virtual COM port and as a result the tool won't find the phone. [EDIT]And don't try to use the tool in a VM. Sadly it refuses to work there.[/EDIT]
Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that?

1) Enable Settings > Developer Options > Enable OEM Unlock
2) Enable Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
3) Turn off phone
4) Press volume down key while connecting the phone to USB to boot the phone into fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot oem unlock <unlocking code>" on the PC the phone is connected to (install adb and fastboot first)
P.S. Many thanks to @Sparkrite for pointing us in the right direction!

Great, thank you! It's reassuring to know it works reliably. And I'm glad the unlocking process itself is so simple; I remember now having used the same method on another phone some time ago.

Thank you so much. With this method I successfully unlocked the bootloader of my Huawei Honor 9 Lite. No problems, just one oddity – the HCU software warns you that reading the bootloader unlock code will wipe your phone, and you have to acknowledge that to continue. This, of course, is not the case: it is using the code to unlock the bootloader that causes the phone to do a low-level reset. Presumably a mistake in the wording.

I used HCU to read the bootloader unlock code before I saw your message, and so had not uninstalled the Microsoft ADB drivers. I had already installed HiSuite. It still worked for me, so presumably it is not necessary to uninstall the Microsoft ADB drivers unless HCU doesn't recognize the phone.

Any news?

Many thanks to those who contributed to this thread. I had no trouble unlocking the bootloader of my device using HCU after purchasing credit from DC-unlocker. At only 4 euros it was worth the money. The posted instructions were clear. Once HCU provided the code all I had to do was send it to the phone using fastboot..
