I just bought a HTC G1 from an ebay user from USA.(I'm from Romania)
I did a hard reset on the phone and now when I put a sim I need to enter the unlock code and can`t turn wireless on if I chose not to enter the unlock code.
Are there any option on how to unlock the phone without the code, or to get past the 'fresh start' screen?
Two things you can do:
1st, contact the user back that sold you the G1. Ask them to obtain the unlock code from T-Mobile (USA) to send to you.
2nd, you can obtain the unlock code yourself by purchasing the unlock code from one of the site.
There are no option to unlock the phone without the unlock code. (as far as I know)
And what about the activation screen? how can i get past it?
Once you get the unlock code and put it in. You can activate your google account with your data plan. You might have to setup your APN setting thou.
Another thing you might or have to do is downgrade and root your phone. Then flash the custom ROM of your choice.
Done unlocking & activating, now it keeps restarting, what can I do? Also the battery lasts 1 day max
// also the screen remains black when I try to unlock (sometimes)

First you want to find out if you are still on stock or you have a custom ROM on your G1.
If you have stock, then you have to root your G1 first.
If you phone has a custom ROM then you G1 has already been rooted. You can load other ROM that you want.
I tried to update to 1.6 but it says error line 1 etc. all the time.
Please help
I`m on stock & when I try to root it says to force close app
Also, i`m running android 1.5 & marketplace is beta & I can`t see all the stuff
Ohh! Boy here we go. You'll need to downgrade to RC29 (since your G1 is from US). Don't worry about the unlock. Once unlocked it stay unlock.
First you want to get ADB setup on your PC and have it setup with your G1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
Once you have that going then you can start with the downgrading to RC29. After you have downgraded, you will have to go through the activation screen again.
Once the activation screen is done, then you can do the rooting process.

After you have rooted, then you can flash the custom ROM.
Done, the phone is rooted but now I have some other issues with it.
First, my earpiece dosen`t work
Second, my screen sometimes dosen`t come 'back to life' when I try to unlock it

Well, hello to all! I have a global version of the 4A and I want to update it to MIUI 10. How can I do it? The phone was from my dad and the last update he did get was miui 8, version 8.5.1 stable and didn't receive any more. How can I do it?

Probably you bought it in a china store, so your phone come with a fake rom.
First of all you need to enter intesting mode to install unsigned drivers on windows and to make your phone recognizable for the pc.
Download the MiFlash Tool, install it and then go to X:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash, open XiaoMiFlash.exe, if the driver pop up dont show up, you can click on driver section and press install, now you're ready to unlock.
If you've a xiaomi account and have the password of it, you can ask to xiaomi permission to unlock bootloader and flash the latest stable version of MIUI, you can download the unlock utility in the next step after login, the steps are very simple, when you've the confirmation of bootloader unlock open the unlock application, follow the steps and wait till it finish, when the phone reboot, you're ready to flash.
Now download the ROM in en miui website
1) Extract the folder inside the rom file you downloaded before
2)Open MiFlashTool
3)Target the path to ~\rolex_global_images_V10.2.1.0.NCCMIXM_20190110.0000.00_7.1_global
4)Turn off the mobile and enter in fastboot (are the same steps you did before to unlock)
5)Click on refresh button and it should show the phone ID
6)Mark the "clean all" option at the bottom, if you want more secure phone, check the clean all and block/lock (I can't remember ), if you leave it unlock, you'll have the posibility of flash custom recovery/roms or whatever when needed, but is also strong recomendable to leave unlock because you can unbrick the phone in a easy way.
7)Click Flash and wait till is done, the phone will reboot by it self when it end.
The first boot can take a lot of time, if the phone shows that is locked and you can turn on wifi to enter in the xaomi account because it don't show the keboard, you can do the trick by the usage of a SIM card without PIN code to get carrier internet.
Hope it works for you, if you dont understand anything feel free to ask.
*Some times you can have problems with fastboot even if you install the driver properly, the easy way to fix this is go to device admin, right click properties>driver>update driver, search driver manual, select from list look for android click and select bootloader composite, click next and when it finish it will show up as recognize.
Have nice day.
Hi everyone, some weeks ago I converted my A2 in 6X because I wanted to test MIUI. Yesterday, dealing with an update my phone get into a bootloop. Well, I used MiFlash to fix it but I selected "flash and lock" (yes, I know, I'm stupid).
The main thing is that I'm in a Chinese ROM with lock bootloader and when I try to unlock it I get error 86023.
I dont know what to do. I've thought about test point to flash Xiaomi.eu but I'm not sure bcause the bootloader is locked.
Someone with a posibble solution? Thanks
Welcome to the Club
Same thing happened to me.
You can now choose between China Developer or Stable.
I tried many progs and tutorials to unlock the bootloader but no way.
If you need GooglePlayStore, CalenderSync and ContactsSync:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850489460
I'm now on stable V10.3.6.0.PDCCNXM and all is working quite well.

It didn't happened to me for myself, but I just asked this question to get better knowledge about bootloader stuffs:
As I understood the current problem is this:
You need to unlock your bootloader again, there is just (as much as I know) 2 ways to approach, which both of them will not help you:
1. Unlocking as a A2 : but your device is not a A2 anymore, so the device will not be unlocked by this method.
2. Unlocking as a 6x : but this one won't be successful either since the dedicated unlocking program asks for a real 6X device with a registered IMEI number by factory, which in your case is NOT.
So, you will be left just with the options that need no Unlocked Bootloader, as mentioned above, like Chinese Stable versions. ( That in my opinion it does NOT sound awful. )
(BTW, every day comes with new procedures, maybe you can find a new method to unlocked the bootloader again, there was times that many expertise told, after stucking in ARB4 trap, you just need to find a suitable Trash for your device!, but now we all know that there is plenty new ways to deal with it).

not the imei, it asks for 6x serial number which device is a2. you have to find someone who has authorized mi account to unlock this device. it is only way for now

Authorized Customer Services, or a friend who works there
It is very possible that they can restore your phone (and as well your bootloader) as what it was in factory.

Yes, exactly.
Hello my friends, i managed to unlock the bootloader of my converted A2/6X.
I tried several times to switch from stable china to developer china but from 9.8.15 to 9.9.3 no one worked.
After installing one of the developer roms, the phone only shows the boot screen for 2 seconds and turns off, with charger it boots endlessly or shows the green battery symbol after some minutes.
One thing that works, is using a rubber band to fix "Vol+" and connect phone via usb or charger, mostly after 5-10 minutes it will enter the "Miui-Recovery", then you can start "Mi-Assistent" in the "Miui-Recovery" and flash back the stable china, so luckily no need of EDL.
After flashing the last 9.9.3 rom and the phone was all screwed up, again. I tried the original "miflash_unlock-en-2.2.624.14" and it worked.
I have done this "thousand" times before with all available unlock tools I found but never succeeded before.
Download: miflash_unlock-en-2.2.624.14
https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-mi-unlock-2-2-624-14-windows/
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195916630
Now I tried to boot into recovery “fastboot boot twrp_wayne.img” but it didn't work, because the phone reboots or turns off after 2 seconds.
So I flashed the china stable via fastboot (worked), let it boot up, no setup, reboot to enter fastboot and flashed successful the orangefox-twrp.
Hope somebody can also unlock his bootloader or maybe it was just luck.

Amazing Dude. [emoji108][emoji108][emoji108][emoji108][emoji108] Congratulations.
Damn, it's been a while since I was here. Back then it was mostly about Windows PDAs.
Disclaimer:
Your warranty after this process is void and your phone will tell you it can not be trusted because it's unlocked.
This is what worked for me. I did it on Windows 10. I just went through the process and it was a bit of mixing and matching various guides.
I'm not your tech support, the only one responsible for following this is you.
If any part of this guide doesn't work for you: too bad. Maybe Google or other users can help you with your problem.
Needed:
An internet-enabled PC
Huawei P10 Lite phone
USB to Micro-USB cable
HiSuite https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/hisuite/
DC-Unlocker (comes with abd & fastboot) https://www.dc-unlocker.com/
Optional: Huawei Driver Tools https://mega.nz/file/qrpBUIKA#zaI8Th0ovgyK48VzFUFAzMNWF2r_R12lNc-uJZsIx4w
Note: I recommend not to buy credits until you've come to the part in my guide which says buy credits.
Install HiSuite
Unzip and install HiSuite on your PC
Start it at the end of the installation (it should show a button with "Start")
Connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable and follow the instructions in HiSuite to install HiSuite on your phone
At the bottom of the (Windows) HiSuite there's an option to do a System Upgrade, mine had the option to install an older version (Android 7 with EMUI 5.1) Install this. (This will take some time)
Note: I've read that some people couldn't downgrade because of modern security fixes. It's possible I didn't run the latest updates, but as far as I'm aware everything was up to date.
The following part might be annoying because HiSuite tries to connect to the phone. I uninstalled it at this point, but I had the Driver Tools installed (and did the Install within said tools).
Phone
Once the phone restarted, go through the set-up as quickly as possible (skip WiFi-setup, decline all optional things and skip account creation)
Go to Settings > System > About Phone > Keep tapping the "Build Number" until you're told you're a developer
Find the developer options (Usually in Settings > System and enable USB/ADB debugging
Open the telephone app and type: *#*#2846579#*#* (it should open a menu automatically after the last *)
Click Background Settings > USB Port Settings and select Manufacture Mode
Once Manufacture Mode is selected, leave the phone untouched
DC-Unlocker, part 1
Unzip the contents of the DC-unlocker zip
Start dc-unlocker2client.exe
In the top left, under "Select manufacturer" change "Huawei modems" to "Huawei phones"
Click the button with the magnifying glass, if you did the previous step hovering should say "Detect phone" on hover
Example out put (this might differ for you, but triple-check a port is detected):
Code:
DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.1431
Detecting phone :
selection :
manufacturer - Huawei phones
model - Auto detect (recommended)
Found Applications port COM3
Model : Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone
Serial NR. : [redacted]
Firmware : System 5.1.0.78(0VVV)
DC-Unlocker, part 2
Check again if a model and port is shown in both the output and above the big buttons.
In the top right, click About > Buy Credits
DC-Unlocker site
Select your payment processor
By default it creates a new account, unless you've used this service before, you probably want to keep it this way.
Fill in a username and an email address
You need 4 credits (€4 for me) at the time of writing this, but do check the link "How much do I need?"
Hit confirm and go through the payment process, wait until everything is processed (if you use a script blocker, you might want to temporarily disable it).
At the end you should get confirmation page with your username, a password and 4 credits. (Username and password will be mailed too.)
DC-Unlocker, part 3
Go back to DC-Unlocker
In the top right, click "Server" and enter the details you've gotten
Click "Check login" and see if the output window shows your username and the credits you have left (which should be 4 at the time of writing)
In the top right, click "Unlocking" and then click "Read bootloader code"
The output should show you the bootloader code once it's done. Copy this to a textfile and save it (and keep it in the memory).
You can close DC unlocker once you've saved the code.
Don't be lazy and try to copy/paste the commands following in the next section, since you want to keep the code in your memory, as seen in step 6. Besides, I'll show you some shortcuts anyway! Keep in mind that our example code is 1111222233334444 (yours most likely isn't, mine sure wasn't) and that [tab] will mean the tab-key on your keyboard.
PowerShell/Command Prompt
In the folder where you unzipped dc-unlocker2client.exe to, press [shift] on your keyboard and hold it while right-clicking in an empty area underneath the files, then click "Open PowerShell (or command prompt) here".
Whatever command-line you started will open, type ad[tab] and adb.exe should be appear (shows up as .\adb.exe in PowerShell)
Follow this by typing reboot bootloader. So it should show as
Code:
./adb.exe reboot bootloader
(no ./ in command prompt)
Hit [enter] and the phone should reboot to a screen with a white background
Once the bootloader screen shows (white background with the android mascot) type fast[tab] in PowerShell/Command prompt and follow it up by oem unlock[space]
If you still have the bootloader code in memory, right-click in PowerShell/Command prompt to paste it. Your entire line should be
Code:
./fastboot.exe oem unlock 1111222233334444
Hit [enter], the unlocking will start and factory reset your phone. My output was:
Code:
(bootloader) The device will reboot and do factory reset...
OKAY [ 10.330s]
If everything went right you'll see the Huawei/Android bootscreen and then a warning that the phone is "unlocked and can not be trusted" to use or something like that. It'll boot into the OS after that.
I'd like to remind you of the disclaimers at the top, but hopefully this will help some of you going through the process.
Edits
Forgot about USB debugging
Added the warning you get after a successful unlock
Changed the build number tapping sentence
Rewrote a sentence for clarity
Very nice guide, if ppl ask about unlocking we just link this from now on...
This is a very helpful guide, thank you so much! My question is, if I wanted to flash twrp when the bootloader is unlocked, is there a way to upgrade it to Oreo once again without locking the bootloader again? I can't seem to find a twrp tutorial where they use Nougat/Emui 5 to flash twrp, and all the tutorials to upgrade to Oreo/Emui 8 look like they're locking the bootloader once again and I don't really want to waste 4 euros to go back to the start.
A bootloader unlock should be permanent? I've been moving between Android 7 (EMUI 5), Android 8 (Emui 8) and Android 10 myself in all kinds of directions.
Besides, I think the code is tied to your device, so you should be able to use it again. (But I'm not sure about this!)

Thank you for your quick reply! So after the bootloader unlock, did you flash twrp on Android 7? or did you upgrade your phone to Android 8 and flash twrp then? How did you manage to upgrade it to Android 8?
I really appreciate your help with the previous tutorial, I've done everything until the buy credits part (I'm waiting a bit for that part) and I'm planning on getting to the end of the tutorial at least before August. My idea is to upgrade to Android 8 + flash twrp and Magisk, hopefully I'll be able to do all of that!
I did the above procedure on an up to date, official stock Huawei android. Both EMUI & Android are 8. I'm in the Netherlands, so it'should be the same model as in Spain. (WAS-LX1A)
The HiSuite step is to downgrade from EMUI 8 (Android 8) to EMUI 5 (Android 7), since that seems to have less securities to make it easier to unlock the bootloader.
Oh, I understand now! One more question (sorry if I'm being annoying, it's my first time playing with a Huawei, I must say that Samsungs are far easier to root/unlock lol): If I follow your method, but after getting the bootloader unlock code and right before unlocking the bootloader, I use HiSuite to upgrade back to Android 8/Emui 8, would the procedure be fine? like, it's totally fine to unlock the bootloader either with android 7 or 8, the only time I need android 7 is to get my code because DC unlocker supports them better, right?
Again, thank you so much!!!
I'm not sure to be honest. But I reverted to 7/EMUI 5 because I read around here on the board that's better for trying to unlock.
Thank you,
Only fastboot.exe oem unlock xxxxx failed with the following error: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.022s
This was resolved by going back to settings, developer options and check 'enable oem unlocking'. I didn't read that in your guide.

Hi, I have the same model. But I can't figure out how to update to EMUI8 again (or which custom recovery works). It doesn't find the update in HiSuite and it doesn't find it via System update. Do you happen to know how? Thank you.
What should I do next?
I did manage to unlock the bootloader thanks to this very clear post. I did downgrade to Android 7 / Emui 5.1.1 and have a working rooted system but he is trying to upgrade again to android 8 / Emui 8. I know by experience that it will lock again with the higher version (the unlock code can be used several time fortunately).
I did try to flash some roms on it, going for instance to Lineage OS 14 but it was all a disaster and I think that I need some guidance now..
I am not a newbee for rooting and flashing but do not understand yet the Huawei system; is that so that I have to choose a new ROM with caution, especially with the Emui version? Looking at the old posts, I find some old ROM's even with Emui 5 version but do not understand the path that I should follow to progressively upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your orientations!

For me, I did get to relock by accident but I confirm that the unlock code is permanent (at least, I did use it 3 times with no problem!)

I ran into the same problem. Did you find a solution?
I followed this guide, downgraded to EMUI 5.1.1 and tried to install several custom ROMs. But none of them will boot. It is always stuck on the splash screen with the "bootloader unlocked" warning and doesn't get any further.
I tried installing LineageOS 17.1, 15.1, and RR on Android 9 but no luck on any of these. Also, is it possible to revert back to the stock ROM? Maybe that will help...
Thank you all for any help
Nothing unfortunately, I did finally reinstall Android 7 with HWOTA https://www.******.com/huawei-hwota-tool-for-huawei-devices/ and managed to have a working Android 7 / Emui 5 that works perfectly if you do not forget to make a complete wipe/reset when rebooting. The bootloader is still unlocked.
Strange enough this system is upgradable through the normal update system (parameter/system/update) and keeps the unlocked bootloader. Today, I did upgrade to a very last built today - 394(C432) - without problem. Apparently I just have to re-root it through trwp.
I keep it like this now, finally, the Huawei system is not bad! and it is yet rooted

Is 394(C432) finally coming as OTA? Back in July I had to download it via firmware finder and flash it with HWOTA after unlocking the bootloader... lol just to relock after updating... However even Huawei support didn't know about 394 and denied it would even exist, not too surprising in hindsight! Still eversince I was wondering if it ever comes as simple OTA, which indeed seems the case eventually!

Yes, WASLX1A 8.0.0.0394(C432) did arrive as OTA around the end of October. I was surprised as I did not expect any new update on this phone!

Yeah, it's actually crazy cool that it was patched after all this years, I however read it was primary updated to support the coronavirus warning App framework! That's actually the reason for Huawei to push another last update!

Downgrade option doesn't exist for me in Hisuite. My phone is WAS-LX2 8.0.0.370(C185). The last update I got was on 13 February 2019 with the 2019 Feb security patches. Is there a free way to unlock bootloader?
Hello Developers!
I have found an easy way to unlock the bootloader of our Huawei Nova 2 Plus. No need to use Testpoint or pay for software to unlock. it is an Python Script which would brute force the code through the IMEI number you have entered
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS CONNECTED TO ADB OR THIS TOOL WILL NOT WORK AS IT WILL RESTART INTO FASTBOOT AND TRY ALL THE CODES IT GENERATED!!!!!!!.
THIS TOOL WORKS FOR Linux and Windows. the guide is for windows but the script would work for linux completely fine.
REQUIREMENTS
Download The Tool from the thread
Install Python From Microsoft Store Or The Python Website
Run Powershell as Admin
Run the Command:- python unlock.py
Enter Your IMEI Number
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED TO ADB!!!!!
Wait for the code to be found
If your phone reboot into EMUI reboot back into bootloader mode and the tool will start the bootloader unlocking process
The Phone May Reboot Several Times.
If you get an warning about unlocking the bootloader you have succeeded to unlock the bootloader
Special Thanks To KASHIFALIKHAN For the tool . the download will be down below
Hello does unlocking bootloader resets my data? As in will it factory reset?
Yes it would reset your data. It happens on all phones for security reason

Hello..could you please explain more about the process and what should we do about attached file?
you have to extract the ZIP and run the unlock script and enter your imei number make sure you have python installed on your PC

Is this procedure safe for my phone?
Have you tried it on this model?
Hello,
I have a chinese Honor 9x (bought from alieExpress). I currently have the HarmonyOS installed that doesn't allow me to run any google-apps, so I'm trying to unlock the bootloader. Out of desperation I tried to use this program to try bruteforce the unlock code. However as I start running it (USB debug enabled and all in options), after the first reboot it arrives in fastboot mode (as I believe should be expected), but then it gives the error that no devices have been found, and therefore remains hanging at 10% / first code tried.
I have a feeling that somehow after the reboot the usb debugging/OEM mode is not on anymore and therefore the python program doesn't identify the phone. I feel this has to do with the setting "enable OEM mode" not being available in any of the settings in my phone (probably a little chinese easter egg to make all this more difficult?). I don't really know how to tackle this issue tho, any advice is appreciated.

Have you installed Hisuite drivers? And check device manager when you boot into fastboot if it shows Android bootloader interface then you're good to go if not then try installing Hisuite drivers

Since you could enter the bootloader when you first trying, I'm guess it might be the Harmony OS. You can try use Hisuite to roll back your HarmonyOS to EMUI, then try to unlock the bootloader. Most of modified Android OS removed the OEM mode to make you have a hard time on unlock bootloader. These will be really easy if you use some phones like Google's Pixel.
I have an old Huawei Nova 3i and it's updated into the Harmony OS, which is not what I want, I'd like to have a more cleaner OS that not with so much preinstalled apps. Then I roll back to EMUI as the first step to install other ROM, and that script it's working now. It's still trying get the password so I can't say it worked or some thing else.
And alter is that, if you just want install some google-apps, you may just roll back to EMUI, it should worked fine. And I'm not really suggest you have any phone from Huawei now since they really push their Harmony OS as a thing (at least, in China) and not really friendly towards people not in China (since lots of popular apps' depended G-apps). I'm annoyed even I'm Chinese though.
