i have a huawei P10 VTR-L09 (canada) and just got EMUI 8.0. My device is treble compatible and i would like to flash Android 8.1 GSI on my device. However there is one issue: the unlock code website does not offer the canada to unlock the bootloader. Is there any way to unlock the bootloader so i can install aosp 8.1 via fastboot?
Thanks
Which model do you have? VTR-L09CXXX...
Try to select USA or another country if your device isn't branded by the provider.

Hi,
Here is the device info,
P10 VTR-L09, locked with Bell.
Current Build # VTR-L09C557B198
I guess it is C557 version with B198 firmware.
Question,
1) Can I rebrand it to VTR-L29? If so, in hwmt.ru 's firmware-database, there are many firmware models begin with "VTR-L29". Which one should I use? Can I use VTR-L29C636BXXX?
2) Do I need to unlock the phone (get the NCK code) before rebranding?
Thanks,
Hi,
I Have P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1C432) Europe Dual Sim Mobile Phone Running Oreo 8.0.0.380. I have unlocked my bootloader directly by clicking unlock bootloader in DC-Unlocker and my bootloader unlocked but i dont have the unlock code. Now i flashed twrp at erecovery instead of recovery because we need to wipe data from stock recovery many times now i want to lock the bootloader with twrp installed as erecovery. I downloaded locked oeminfo file and flashed it with twrp as well as bootloader but my bootloader is still unlocked how I can lock it ?
Why no one is replying to my question ? Its my second thread and no one replied to it. No one replied to my previous thread as well. What's the matter ?

If it was sold as single SIM (L09), you cannot 'transform' (by changing firmware) to dual SIM (L29), because there are hardware differences.
For any flashing (changing cust for stock firmware, custom ROM, rooting, TWRP) you have to buy Bootloader code and unlock Bootloader (it is possible but the code is costly)

They are expensive. I'm also waiting for their answer (people say they answer from time to time, they depend on an insider, when he is able...):

Ministry can also do it, little cheaper (40$) but you will need to open back cover and connect Testpoint pins. Minister will need Team Viewer remote access to your PC. I guess (didn't go for, waiting if I can buy from the first above) he will low-level flash an old Oreo, where from it was possible to generate BL code. Then he would, IMO, update back to Pie. Guy told me the operation might take an hour or two:

I was also told that those can provide the code but for ridiculously high price (you can ask them):

Finally, don't use them, they only unlock BL for one-time (and high price) you don't get the code:

Exactly for VTR-L09 or some other Huawei model (it's not the same)
A year ago I played for a week and rebranded EVA-L09 to L19, tried a lot but it never became dual SIM.
To the other side, similar rebranding to dual SIM model worked fine and straightforward for P9 Lite
Edit: You could have provide a link to spread info and help the community (if single SIM P10 can be really rebranded to dual SIM)
This is what i got with MT tool
Can i install one of those updates and if ok how can i perform it
Thank's
Can anyone explain how to unlock the bootloader and rooting works under Emotion UI 9.1.
Since the Huawei has blocked the bootloader codes and no longer releases them to users, the P10 plus has not been developed.
If I have a boot loader code, how do I go about unlocking the boot loader, how do I root my device and is there any way to downgrade?
Because there is the possibility for me to get a boot loader code for my P10 plus, so I would like to ask in advance how the procedure is.
It could be that I probably have to downgrade my device to the older e-motion Ui version so that I can even root and import custom ROMs. Is that right.
Thank you i hope the Comunity can help me.
My Device is
VKYL09C432 Emui 9.1 Last Patch from July19

I have a P9 (EVA-L09) branded to 3Ireland. I asked the service provider for the unlock code and got this:
Hi there,
Thanks for your recent unlock code request.
Below is the unlock code for Huawei IMEI 862836031485752.
Your unlock code is 1738262161041091. Please find instructions to unlocking your phone or modem below.
So I put a vodafone SIM in the p9 and it asked for the unlock code which I entered. My vodafone SIM works fine so the P9 is SIM unlocked.
With a view to installing LineageOS, I enabled Developer Options, Enabled OEM unlock and USB debugging. I then powered off the phone.
Holding the Vol Down button, I inserted the USB cable and the P9 restarted in Fastboot&Recovery Mode.
However, it says, in green, Phone Locked, and, in red, FRP Unlock.
I guess I have to unlock it to install TWRP but how do I proceed?
TIA
Dermot

You mean your mobile service provider?
If so, they gave you SIM unlock code to make your phone open for SIM cards from other operators
But that has nothing with the unlocking the Bootloader - what you see in Fastboot and what you need for flashing is about unlocking the Bootloader
Operators don't provide/sell the codes to unlock Bootloaders - rooting, custom ROMs are not in their interest
In the old days, Huawei provided (for free) Bootloader codes. They stopped and for the new phones made it really hard to unlock the Bootloaders, for some even impossible (at least, yet)
For the old P9 you can still buy a code from e.g. DC Unlocker (use Google)
But then, be careful, read the guides first - this mistake with buying a wrong code was benign while flashing an interviewcompatible ROM can brick your phone.
E.g., you are most likely on EMUI 5, and you cannot use any GSI ROM but only ROMs that were ported and adapted for P9, EMUI 5 ( Nougat firmwares). Also, if the ROM instructions say it is for P9 but EMUI 8, it is not for your phone (unless you rebrand and upgrade to Chinese EMUI 8)
It's not, take any AOSP or GSI ROM from elsewhere and flash to Huawei. If you are new in the game, go to the P9 Custom ROMs section here on XDA and read the OP posts to make sure you fullfil the requirements before you flash.
Be aware that most of those threads are 'dead' - early flashoholics long ago moved to the newer phones. Few remaining who stayed with P9 (usually as a second phone), upgraded to Chinese EMUI 8 (Oreo), and you can find them only in the few still active threads. Be careful and good luck
You can get one using dc unlocker for 4 euros. Just jut it down upon getting it. From there its smooth sailing on TWRP. You have to reinstall twrp from time to time if you are on stock though
@zgfg, I greatly appreciate the clear and comprehensive explanation. Very helpful.
@Bill, 4€ is a reasonable price to pay for an old phone.
Thanks you!
