I bought a second hand damaged galaxy s and I fixed the screen. But I now have two problems.
1. I don't have the pattern unlock code.
2. I can't enter bootloader to do a hard reset.
I tried updating it to the latest firmware version with kies, but it didn't wipe the data. So I currently have the latest stock firmware installed.
I searched a little bit and I found these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698
Which thread do I need to use or are they outdated? Or does somebody has any clue on how to get past the unlock code?
Adb and fastboot do not work, I think because usb debugging is not enabled.
Thanks.
Unlock Code = service centre with a receipt and IMEI code .

Do you mean that I can use that to upgrade to lets say a canadian version? Or are there more version that work?
edit, I see that I can no longer use the registry patcher.
I think i'm screwed because I don't have usb debugging enabled and can't enter the bootloader....

I flashed my phone to a pre-release FROYO .. and now can not unlock it ..
I have tried using an unlock service to no avail .. and received an email from them saying this :
"""However if you indeed flashed your phone to JPC version with non released firmware (reg hack via KIES) it is possible you damaged your NVM data and phone will NOT accept the unlock codes However if you indeed flashed your phone to JPC version with non released firmware (reg hack via KIES) it is possible you damaged your NVM data and phone will NOT accept the unlock codes "
Does this mean I have ruined something in my phone and now I will NEVER be able to unlock it? ..
Thanks
Hi,
Does anyone know how to re-lock the SIM on Captivate? I need to reload the stock ROM and lock the SIM for warranty replacement of my phone.
Thanks in advance.
I believe once you reload the stock ROM, say using Odin one-click to JF6, your phone will be SIM locked again.
Again, I believe this is the reason why they recommend you write down your unlock code, because you'll have to go through the unlock process with every flash.
Thanks for your input but unfortunately once it's unlocked it will stay unlocked. I tried it many times myself flashing the 1-click Odin stock ROM.
I wrote down the unlock code. I actually just found this on a website but I am not sure if this will work. Wondering if anyone ever tried it...
*#7465625# = Check the phone lock status
*7465625*638*Code# = Enables Network lock
*7465625*746*Code# = Enables SIM lock
If I remember correctly, I believe I need to enable the Network lock....

Not true. I have flashed many ROMs and stayed unlocked. Am currently running Perception 4 without having to re-unlock.
To re-lock:

After you get the NCK code using the method above, enter: *7465625*638*#
There will be a pop-up box.
Complete the first field (MCC/MNC) with the network you want your phone locked to (eg. 226 10 where 226 = romania; 10 = orange etc.) and the second field (Control Key) with the NCK extracted from the .bak file.
Press OK and your phone should relock.

NCK codes are different for each country/carrier. You will have to search for yours.

Thanks. I have the NCK code for my phone. Searched wiki and found this link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code#U
It seems like AT&T's MCC/MNC is 310/410.
I will have to give it a try tonight.
What can I do ?

And even through the Huawei site I receive the code does not work.
For the software to work, you must setup the phone to be in manufacturer mode. See https://www.dc-unlocker.com/huawei-android-hisilicon-unlock-guide. Once you do that and use dc-unlocker software, then you will see the phone plus all options (those that appear presently disabled) will be enabled.
I did , but that does not change when I reboot
hmmm....you don't need to reboot....Just type *#*#2846579#*#*, select "Project Menu", "Background settings", "USB ports settings", "Manufacture mode". Then connect phone to PC and start dc-unlocker. When you search for devices, you will see your P9 with the options on the top right enabled.

I unlocked my phone and then de-branded it. I used dc-unlocker to unlock bootloader by purchasing needed credits.
I got the code! but it does not work
http://www.noelshack.com/2016-32-1470690356-capture.png
I'll teach him to fly, this system code makes me crazy
Ok. I don't know how or where you got the code from but assume it is not right. I say this as I used my code against the phone on a couple of occasions (change a c900 to a c432 version, etc) without any issue. Assuming it is not right, I suggest you buy credits on dc-unlocker direct. I think it is 4 euros or something like that. You just select the unlock option and it does it all for you.
I took the bootloader code and it does not work
http://www.noelshack.com/2016-32-1470691341-capture.png
Ok. Did you enable the property in Settings > Developer Options > Enable OEM Unlock ?
the code does not work, then I have had with DC Unlocker
I still like what solution?
I have 2 solutions:
1- You can try disabling "phone finder" app and try unlocking after. Some say this is the cause of making the bootloader being unable to unlock.
2- If the first solution didn't work, you can try flashing an older firmware on your phone.
I hope one of these work for you.
I can flash a firmware without unlocking the bootloader ?
I do not apply ' phone finder ' in my application ...

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a firmware using the 3 button method. Try to flash an older firmware and then try to unlock your bootloader again.

To flash a firmware, download it, copy it on a /dload folder of an external sdcard and then boot your phone holding both volume buttons and power button. About SRK tool just look at dedicated thread. Is really simple to use it.

You advise me as what rom ?
I don't know what you want to do by unlocking the bootloader, but try using this SRK Tool. This should do the job as it also allows generation of the bootloader code plus unlock.

Hi
I have a BIG problem with my P10 (L29C432) on Oreo 365.
Tried downgrade to nougat through Firmware Finder but update failed. Now i have this warning at every reboot.
I have LOCKED bootloader (never rooted phone). And i cant get bootloader unlock code (website not working).
Also cant enter fastboot mode because of that error.
Is there anyway to RESTORE phone with locked bootloader? I have tried to flash previous firmware with sdcard method (hold power,+,- keys) but update fails everytime.
Is there other way to flash new firmware?
I can use phone but at every reboot i get this message?
If there is no other way to flash new firmware than with unlocked bootloader... Where to get code for unlocking bootloader?
Thanks.
Edit:
I can enter fastboot mode but my bootloader is locked.
you have to unlock bootloader by sending all the needed info per email.
you need to send them IMEI, model version, S/N number, and product id and request for bootloader unlocking code this email: [email protected]
next time read about how to rollback to nougat...
Thank you. So I need to unlock bootloader.
Will try to get code.

If you don't have your "product id", you can't have the code for unlock the bootloader :/
The "Product ID" is a code into the system info on android :s
I am waiting for code from Huawei. They will send me code in next days...
you can get product id on imei24. com by typing your imei.
Now i have another problem. I think phone is "dead" now. Unuseable.
Tried to root phone and now nothing works.
Phone does not recognize SIM card at all.
If I go into settings and system information there is no IMEI number?
Can i restore this?
Or need to take it to service center? Or dead phone?
send the device against wall. Buy another one and forget averything about rooting and unlocking bootloader. Its for your safety, trust me.
I have experience with rooting and flashing phones (Sony). Never had problem.
So there is no way to restore phone?
maybe in repair store. Never heard about bricked device without imei. You can still try to flash original firmware.
Hello.
i have a Huawei P10. [VTR-L29 9.0.1.159(C185E3R1P9)]. I updated it using hisuite and firmware finder via erecovery 2 weeks ago, then recently i tried to check for updates in hisuite, an update is available, with the same build number(developer) with size of 880mb and i updated it, after completion of update, phone restarts, verify installation packages and proceed with update installing, after 99% phone restarts again and not turning on itself, i tried manually turning it on, not successful. so I tried plugging it in my computer, hisuite detects it, and system recovery is the only option. i tried but it failed, and should be taken to the service center.
What should I do?
-my phone was purchased abroad
-warranty expired a year ago
-i dont have the box of it and the imei infos.
If anyone can help me, please I need it. THANKS

Hope that bootyloader still working, else there's a chance for you to get another phone.
If I had to go thru what you have today... I would try to flash Emui 9 based RR or Los just to revived while enjoying the pure android interface.
If all else fails... Go back to basic maybe there is a thing or two that you've missed

Can you get to the bootyloader or recovery? As long as bootyloader still working there's still a chance for revival.
You can try flash stock recovery & try to get it to flash the stock fw from it.

I don't see any articles on for unpaid versions to unlock the bootloader. The only safe & easy is thru dcunlocker.
Hav u tried boot to erecovery & see if it can recover that stock firmware??

I tried erecovery as you said but I failed to do so, the only hope I think is just the fastboot mode. also, I would like to ask if what option or how many credits should I get in DC Unlocker?

I spent roughly not more than 5usd for a code & that's about it. Nothing more... Now I'm happily unlocked that bootyloader :good:
I think the only ways is thru pc or with a small payment at the huawei service centre to get that firmware up and running again.
