Hello everyone
As i've had trouble lately to receive the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. I wrote them an email, and this was their response.
"Thank you for contacting Huawei Support UK and for the provided details.
In response to your enquiry, we would like to inform you that the unlock code application service has ended, as of July 25th 2018, to ensure user experience and safety. Moreover, unlocking the bootloader of a device voids the warranty and it wasn’t recommended since it was the source of multiple software issues due to unauthorized software modifications.
Huawei used to provide users with corresponding unlock codes to meet personalized requirements due to the usage of different ROMs, which is an extra service and does not belong to consumers' rights.
However, due to possible problems caused by unlocking your device (such as system built-in function failure, device freezing, and power consumption increase) we will no longer provide the code.
Should you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We wish you a nice day!"
So, as of now. The only way to get the bootloader unlock code, is to use dc-unlocker or any other software that can handle the task
Have a great day!

Yes. At least for now, and at least for Mate 10/Pro. Honor View 10 has problems getting unlock code, same with P20. So for future devices not even dc may work.
And Huawei might just remove unlock from fastboot all together, as its not really needed if you can't use it properly.

They actually removed the option to receive the code for all their devices, which is a shame. It's like they're trying to control its users, with the excuse that it can be unstable.
It's not they're call to make, in my opinion, AND they're even stating that it voids warranty. We know the risks of this, so please stop now Huawei

Yeah, I meant getting unlock code through dc. Honor View 10 L04 can't, some L09 users seem to have trouble as well. P20 can't at all (if I remember correctly). And future devices probably can't either.
Yeah, you got a warning when getting the unlock code from them that it voids warranty. You got a warning when using unlock code on device.
I will not get a Huawei device in the future if I can't unlock it

It states the price on their website.
But about 5 $
Just today I read about Huawei's succes which indicates they became top 2 seller all around the world surpassing Apple. We have been there when Samsung got it's hype and after that invented some bull**** called knox. So, maybe no need to give really significant credit to a company which is going to abuse it.
It's a shame that they have decided to go through this route. I fortunately got my bootloader unlock code for the Lite before it was too late, and I'm keeping it in two different locations, accessible online, until my warranty is over. That's how protective I am of the code. I certainly don't like that we'd have to rely on dc-unlocker's paid services to do what we were able to do for free.

For free? Sounds too good to be true, though make no mistake, I wish it's too good and true.
Update. As of BLA-C432B145+ you can't use DC/HCU to get unlock code. FW prior to this should be fine. However, downgrading seems to be no go either as B145 is now approved for installation in eRecovery (at least for me, was B137 a couple of weeks ago)
I'm not sure which build on other custs, but I guess you can check release date and compare.
If I can't root, I won't buy a phone. Huawei, I love your hardware, but if you stick by this decision it's goodbye for me when I next upgrade.
This decision Huawei made is completely sad, and irritating. They're decreasing the user made choixes, which should not happen. Android was build open, to advance user made choices and problems. If this stays. They're not worth my money anymore

Clarification: You can still downgrade using NoCheck recovery or HuRUpdater, but that requires an already unlocked bootloader.
I did downgrade yesterday to BLA-L29C432B142, and there you can still get unlock code using HCU.
FH can't downgrade either apparently, so Huawei probably added a check to eRecovery that prevents downgrading :/
Also, the backdoor that DC-phoenix/FH Rebrand tool uses is broken as well in B145 (I assume B145, I'm on B148 and here it's not working).
I was seconds away from pulling the trigger on a Mate 10 Pro. Then I saw this. No way will I ever buy a Hauwei now. So dumb.

Hcu-client. Its made by DC unlocker but supports newer phones. Newer firmware has closed the way they use to get unlock code though (may firmware or earlier will work, June works on some custs)
So it's possible to unlock the bootloader if new fresh mate 10 pro out of the box before update ? On alternative ROM's post, they say it's over like there is no alternative.

Maybe this can help :
All Xperia 8 phones BEFORE 11W29 have a SECURITY HOLE and that allowed users to bypass the Locked Bootloader, essentially UNLOCKING it!
A lot of Xperia 8 phones AFTER 11W29 don't have that security hole BECAUSE Sony FIXED it in MOST devices!

Pretty annoying if you consider Sony could spend money on petty things (like "fixing" the bootloader) but won't spend twat on updating the firmware, whilst churning out phones they were certain not to support. Grossly unfair. They won't update the phone; now they ensure you can't either
If you missed to patch your security holes, someone will definitely take advantage.
I'm not against Sony nor support them but every company has its own protocol and business strategies.
Im sorry to hear that but thats the reality.
I did it!
Really! Today, risking my phone, I decided to unlock my bootloader 11w46! And I have successfully turned out. Apparently, Sony Ericsson is really solved the problem with the hole in the security of chip on some models))) What a joy it was for me! I love Sony!!!!!!! =) Only with you all my life...!!!
If only there was a way to check if you can unlock your bootloader safely. Other than the manufacture date...

Search isn't getting me an answer because all the results are about unlocking the bootloader. I'm likely selling the phone soon so I don't want to unlock, but I'd like to have root for the time being. Is there a path?
There is only temp root. It doesn't stick through reboots and after awhile becomes unstable.
Why would you be selling the phone soon? The turbo is still a very powerful phone and we will have nougat ROMs soon.
I don't plan on abandoning the turbo in the foreseeable future

Ignore Nitefire. Kingroot = bad. Not only does it not work consistently, but when it does, it lasts anywhere between 5 minutes and 1 reset. It has also messed up many phones with locked bootloaders. Whatever you want root for, it's not worth using Kingroot, especially if you plan on selling the phone soon.
If you insist on trying it, make sure you know how to re-flash the system partition. The changes that Kingroot makes cannot be removed with a factory reset.

Not very. The phone is arguably worth more in a re-sale if bootloader is unlocked. Especially if sold on Swappa, which has a deal with XDA. You will already have done the hard work.

Why don't you want to update to SUTL-49? I think you aren't up to speed on current state of this phone dev-wise. Sunshine works on SUTL-49. There's no reason to stay on SUTL-44, unless you just like old software.
And somewhere we're not communicating. It's worth MORE money unlocked to people who know. And SUTL-49 seems like the last update it will ever receive anyway.

You are correct here (I'm not up to speed). I was on one of compfreek's images via mofo root back when that was the only option. Afterwards I didn't have the time to mess with the phone and keep up with the evolving dev status due to life etc., so I just left my phone in that state because it was working fine and doing everything I needed at the time. I was aware that bootloader unlock was possible, I just didn't dedicate the time to get it done (really backing up and restoring is what I needed the time for, ~40gb over MTP is a nightmare, currently looking for better alternatives).
I decided I want to upgrade my phone so I wanted to go back to a stock state to potentially sell it. The big guide thread in the general forum linked to SUTL-44 so that's what I imaged. I know 49 is unlockable, but if I'm not going to keep the phone I didn't think it was worth my while to make sure this pending OTA was 49, or something else. Basically, not worth the risk of screwing things up taking an OTA without researching first, and not worth the time to research if I didn't plan to keep the phone.
And somewhere we're not communicating. It's worth MORE money unlocked to people who know. And SUTL-49 seems like the last update it will ever receive anyway.

Reading comprehension failure on my part! Maybe it's worth more, but is it $25 more? No need to spend $$ on sunshine if the net result is close. Also who knows what the impact of Pixel phones will have on the value of our phones?
Is there a bypass method using dirtycow exploit for Nexus (6) running October 2017 patch? I obtained this device last month for cheap from a friend who found it online and ran into the frp problem. Long story short, they gave up and sold me the phone. I've been looking all over and the closest thing I've found to a bypass for the Nexus 6 on 7.1.1 October patch is a a method for the Nexus 6p. Which did not work. I have managed to use a variety of apps to be able to semi use the phone. Then after a while it would bootloop and force me to reset everything and start over. Then eventually it wouldn't turn on directly, just turn on into the bootloader first where I could decide to turn it on from the start option. I've been having trouble because I can't seem to use fastboot or adb with the device. I can see it in adb but permission is denied for every command I've tried. Dirtycow seemed to make it furthest out of anything and :fingers-crossed: the apps I've been using are as follows.
Pixel launcher
Pie Controls
Glovebox
Es file manager
Es app killer
If someone can give me a working method I am willing to donate. :highfive: I'm not a newbe to the Android lingo, just catching the hang of the no-chill, always evolving software and trying to keep up. And if there is a possible way to flash back to ICS I'll be so greatful. :fingers-crossed:

Nope. In fact, there haven't been any working bypass methods in months.That said, I think there's more issues with your device than FRP. You might want to get the device checked out.

Hi,
Just came over from apple for a long time, selected best price/hw (non-noname) devices. I was always trying to jailbreak my phone, and thought Android a better place to come out from your sandboxed environment. At the end of the story I searched a lot in XDA forums and found with mate 20 pro and no bootloader code nothing can be done in an easy way. There are a lot of thread telling how to get bootloader codes , but currently the situation is this:
Funky - !Down! and if it would give, would cost a lot money, irrealistic high price.
Global unlock solutions - not answering or selling anything in real life.
ministery of solutions also unavaiable.
Huawei has no longer giving access to lower level access to the phone "bootloader". To be honest this is disgusting, more disgusting than with Apple, at least you know when you buy people working on jailbreaks and if you not updating one day you will be happy. With Huawei now we are in a crazy situation, during the firmware built they have associated a number from your imei and possible from Serial (as on huawei this field was mandatory for unlock code)...
Each device got a number, and potentially it would make sense to know the exact hashing algorithm when it checked, if we get that and use hashcat that could be a good solution as if i remember well it is 16 numbers for huawei devices, so brute force with hashcat, not on the actual phone is possible...
I was thinking of brute force, but they also reboot the phone each 5 times, so when you want to brute force 4 try reboot, this need time... I am really dissappointed that you buy an android phone and you are almost in the same cage as with apple iphone.
Guys someone please summarize what are the possibilities with boot loader, is anyone working to replicate the hashing mechanism?
This should be for geeks possible for brute force, just we need to elliminate the condition phone, how long does it take to virtually run a cloned boot loader on a PC and pass through a code in milliseconds? In theory , if we get the mechanism known and can utilize hashcat for cracking with numeric only password would be short journey.
Please make a summary what is the current progress and future plan with rooting and unlocking huawei newer devices
When i was holding my last "free" phone completely linux opened phone, it was allowing you to enter into the deepest boot loader and it brought up the next one for flashing like an eeprom, flash mode or persistant... I am quiet sure if you can't go deeper than fastboot you cannot brick your phone, so huawei's statement is not correct, yes could soft brick your phone, but as long as you have a flashing interface alll should go well. I am crying for phones like nokia n900 linux mobile, where actually was your decision what do you want to install into your phone without virtualization/containers/sand boxes.
Please keep us updated about the possibilities and future plans about the boot loader as in the last week I completely lost my trust in huawei, no one tell anything , I also wrote them if they can send me my code, but they simply ignoring my mail at huawei
I am bit beginner, but I guess I read almost every post about this problem, and each post outdated so just bring infos together, first post a long post
I'm one of the lucky ones that are rooted on the mate20 pro

Tl;Dr if you want freedom with firmwares, kernels, root and easy life, you probably picked wrong device.
Code is generated in unknown way and code is tied into special partition in encrypted way that it's difficult to take it out. In previous android versions it was open text so it was possible to get it via exploits, but now no more. Like you mentioned, it's complicated to even brute force it and risky to play with partitions with high chance of making brick out of 1k$ device.
The base with unlock codes was open for engineers until mid of last year when Huawei started shutdown of unlocks. Services like funky, global and ministry are just middlemen who have contacts with Huawei engineers who can get the code when base with keys is open. Base was closed whole time from Jan to April 2019 (Huawei started hunting engineers breaking rules?), and then it suddenly opened for couple of days (that's why you see some happy faces here). They recently again closed it, so yes, it's expected that everyone is quiet now since nobody has access. It will be same until next opening happens (if it ever will?)
Ps: If you still want to play with high risks of making brick, there's telegram group "Big Huawei Exploits" where people are trying to figure out security workarounds, but it's far from average user experience of typical bootloader unlock without knowing internals of emui 9 and Huawei bootloader.
Ps2: full potential of root is not realized for our device due to problems with bootloader unlock (boomer), Huawei partitioning (twrp vs magisk, chose one ONLY) + xposed causes bootloop + incompatibilities with non-x64 drivers for many things like v4a which is making our device going bootloop.

In previous android versions it was open text so it was possible to get it via exploits, but now no more. Like you mentioned, it's complicated to even brute force it and risky to play with partitions with high chance of making brick out of 1k$ device.

Well I don't want to decrypt the roms I have no time to play so much with hascat, but if we can virtually load the Fastboot into a PC app where we can inspect the runtime memory that would make things easier, especially with someone who used to use assembly languages and reverse engineering...
There could be 2 type how they created the BL unlock code, alghorythm which using imei and possible S/N , or it just random, there should be a tiny database on each device of the bootloader code, as if they not giving "personalised fastboot" that means the required code, or the output of the creation process must persist somewhere , and don't forget if we can load the rom into a monitored environment we can see what going to be read from which address in runtime memory.

The base with unlock codes was open for engineers until mid of last year when Huawei started shutdown of unlocks. Services like funky, global and ministry are just middlemen who have contacts with Huawei engineers who can get the code when base with keys is open. Base was closed whole time from Jan to April 2019 (Huawei started hunting engineers breaking rules?), and then it suddenly opened for couple of days (that's why you see some happy faces here). They recently again closed it, so yes, it's expected that everyone is quiet now since nobody has access. It will be same until next opening happens (if it ever will?)

Well I am now using Iphone and Android as user, I enjoy debian based linux in my ipad which actually jailbreaked well. I just came originally from maemo, and there everything is possible, you can't actually brick an ARM board, the lowest level there will be a rom which contains the minimal OS which allows you to flash rootfs and mmc media afterward. I assume this is similar to Intel CPU + BIOS with ARM, you can make your computer unoperating, but you can't break down via a keyboard or any software your bios is the lowest level which allow minimal control over voltages and such thing what could enteraly destroy you pheripherias and devices. IF I thinking right the minimal system you can dig down in the layers right now is fastboot, which still seems to be some fancy stuff with too much additional information, can't we dig deeper? or flashing the flashing rom is only possible via diagnostic port what they used during the assembling of the devices? On nokia Geek devices you could go at the deepest level possible and implement multiboot for multiple operating system, rootfs and media was on different device not just different mount/partitions... I am but sad no one creating pocket computers, I got bit upset, so my new n900 is on it's way, however that device 10 year old construction, it is good for things like playing msdos games and some try with C/Cpp but nothing more, I am sure I will need to make the new openssl binary for being able to browse sha2 ssl sites
Idea
Guys, I digged a lot to understand the boot sequence and how the calls / components loaded. As far I saw all current android ARM systems use a Little Kernel opensource Bootloader, with modification. It is called A-BOOT and the interface what we communicate is fastboot. The bootloader verify of the signature each flashing each rom, and eventually during loading as well. With "unlocking" you get the ability to bypass the signature check. Eventually I looked into the rom files they encrypted that's a thing, but the question what it is in the runtime memory.
Just an idea if we have here someone friendly with ARM and assembly/memory inspecting and has 1 or more bootloader code already...
Is this approach possible for some extra geeks
download virtual ARM machine
load the rom , only the aboot required with oem application with it
check in vm's memory what happens when code entered incorrectly/correctly
As I read it secured for the rom images and signatures (from unathorized changes), I don't think the bootloader itself as an application has encrypted memory. So in theory "I am optimistic" if you have your S/N | you BL code, and the | runtime memory hash TADA we can rebuild the hashing alghorythm. I am not experienced with ARM at all, especially not with it cpu operation and memory adressing, so I would need some hyper geek who experienced. It is just an idea if reverse engineering is possible this way or not. Of course as I can see it need a lot of work without any return, but the challange is hard
P.S. first though thing I can imagine, you need usb driver for fastboot on virtual ARM, you need a connected client for fastboot protocol, so virtual USB service. You need to be able to set breakpoint in the virtual ARM box, those just what came into my mind even if u know arm/assembly...
But there is not other way to buy the code...
Damn...

I assume they will go with opened mind EMUI has no future Google has proven it today
On 01 June 2019 any online bootloader's unlock generators aren't available
They haven't been available for months
Apparently they're back again according to funkyhuawei.

You have 4 posts.. only way I'd pay would be after it was successfully unlocked.

I just received a code from him. He's legit
Quicker option than Global Unlocking Solutions at the moment. Accepts PayPal too.
As the title said, to try to compensate Google apps deficit seems that huawei will let mate 30 users unlock the bootloader, maybe this change will affect also older devices?

Better yet, wish folks could easily rebrand. For me especially, the 20X version.
That's a great sign. Most likely, the bootloader unlock will open again. Hurray
Would be nice but most likely will not happen... Want root for my mate 20 pro too because its an really nice device but wanted a few things that can only used via root...
Aaaaaaand over

It's ok, at least we know what brand to avoid in the future.
My words.... The device is very good but the locked bootloaders ****s it up...
