Discontinued two or so months ago, discussed in many threads on XDA (btw, XDA has a nice search facility) and what/how to use instead - DC Unlocker/HCU Client for 4 Euros credit

Don't bother your self, I've tried dc-unlocker a few days ago, and it ended not supporting my Huawei P20 Lite, and their support sucks, I've seen some posts on Reddit from people who contacted Huawei's support on twitter, and they positively responded with the code, try your chances.

I guess it's the UK account ( @huaweiMobileUK ), you can also fill contact them through this form : https://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/, make some noise buddy, that's all we got for now, in the sake of the holy root.

I have used DC myself a month ago for P9 L19, there was no problem, it took me 5 minutes and didn't need any help
Just follow their online howto links and if needed improvise (docs are maybe little outdated)

Is there any method to get unlock code on Linux? All of the mentioned applications not working on Linux (tried with Wine). Maybe there are some cloud solutions that generate unlock code online?

You can try the DC Unlocker through a Virtual Machine, you better try it on a Windows 7.
@update, their technical support ( the contact form on the huawei's website ) can get your bootloader unlocking code, the only issue is that it takes a few days, til you receive it.

In the good, old days it was just a matter of submitting info like model, device id, imei, e-mail address via an on-line form to Huawei - hence not depending on the PC and its OS
You can try the app (Playstore tells me not available in my country)

Yeah---
I used that one to unlock mine... Was quick and paid using paypal. I just had to do paypal payment 18eur, mail them my IMEI code and a few time (less tahn 1 hour) after the unlock code was mailed to me... Just needed to enter the "foregein" sim, pda asks codes, me enter all done! lol!
But in general I was a bit suspicious about other sites since they didn't provide too many info and asked for weird payments methods like western union...

www.htccode.com

re above post
merely an adjustment, to pricing, that would benefit everyone in the forum, and deprive the profit making organisations of what should rightly be going to the forum instead of their pockets.
NO MENTION OF MEMBER/S MAKING PROFIT, Please read post clearly!
Btw : As per post on site www.htccode.com
Price: 22 USD / 18 EURO/ 15 GBP
Another vote from me for HTCcode.com
I just unlocked my Touch HD which was previously locked to Orange and is now happily running on O2
I had the unlock code within 30 minutes of making payment and they answered a question I emailed them within 5 minutes.
Great service!

Excellent service and response. Could communicate "live" via MSN. Even corrected me when I gave the wrong IMEI number.
Great service doesn't come cheap but can be relied upon. Highly recommended.

Unlock bootloader

Hi y'all
I have tried unlocking the bootloader through official Huawei channels, without much success. I've tried entering with my EMUI user login, but being informed that the service is not available in my region. (By the way, I'm living in Norway)
Anybody had more luck using the official channels...?
A guide or link would be greatly appreciated

Use DC Unlocker. 4 Euro, and you will get your code in less than 5 minutes
BTW, imei changing is illegal. So nobody gonna help you on that here i guess. Not sure why you want to do it anyway

Which country? Try UK support. For example, Russian support is completely useless and just sends you steps how to do it on non-functional site.
UK support sent me the code on the next day (on may 12).

Make sure to provide a decent reason - I kinda lied about not using my new phone, but reality is i'd really sell it if I could not unlock it and get rid of ads.
I guess, simply saying you want adaway installed and that needs root shall be enough. Last part skips voids-warranty-are-you-sure? exchange.
A friend of mine called UK support on viber on may 10th, but ended up with same uk support mail exchage asking him for details, warning about risks and got his code a day later than me I believe.
He told them he wanted to flash clean firmware or something like that... be creative.
My ticket from https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/contact-us/ (I forced it to /uk/ from my real country)
May 11: ...
Content:I bought P20 pro few weeks ago and I desperately want to unlock my bootloader, but unlock link is 404/dead for ages now.One of the reasons for actually buying Huawei phone was the information that bootloader unlock is actually easy - I'm sick and tired of ads and I want root/adaway installed asap + I want google dialer.... It sucks to be walking around with my old Xiaomi mi6 and not a new shiny Huawei.Please let me know, how can I get an unlock code in any other way. Serial xxxxxxxxxx, product ID xxxxxx, IMEI xxxx/xxx. I know the risks etc and I'm sure I want to unlock my bootloader.

Dear Name,
Thank you for contacting Huawei Customer Care and the provided details.
We have now created a request for you in order to receive the bootloader code. As soon as we receive it, we will forward it to you.
Thank you for your patience and please let us know if you have any other questions.
May 12:
Dear Name,
Thank you for your patience.
I have received the necessary code you need to use in order to root your device.
The code is: my-code-here
As explained in our previous e-mails, please note that using the bootloader code and rooting the device will void the warranty.
I trust this information is of assistance. In a couple of hours, you might receive a survey regarding the experience you have had with Huawei Customer Care. We would appreciate your feedback. Should you have any further queries, please feel free to get back to us anytime.
I wish you a wonderful day!

You can't unlock your bootloader after 22th July!

Received this notification that says the company no longer support unlocking bootloader after 22nd July. Attaching the screenshot here.
What you think? The future is dark?

If you already have your unlock code it should be fine.
If you don't you should still be able to use DC to get it.
But this is for current phones, for future ones we may not even get unlock code from DC (as P20 can not, for example)
Which ends the ROM scene.
No need to go and unlock it. No developer will support this phone ( or Huawei) for buy long..
Luckily, due to Treble, existing customers will not be left in the cold. Not sure what Huawei will gain from all of this though. They also lost me as a customer. And my friends, and my family.

Where's DC, what is this?
Just boycott their products : )
I think it makes sense for them to avoid users from unlocking their devices. I have seen several people returning their devices for installing custom stuff badly and then when they revert back to stock, some features are lost (again, for doing things the wrong way). Stupid people costs any company lots of money, ergo, they rather remove the feature and remain safe.
Any idea how to register for an account on the Huawei website? It doesn't give an option for the US (or Canada for that matter).

Is there any working method (free or paid) for unlocking the bootloader of P20 Pro?

Hi everyone!
I am wondering if there is still a way for unlocking the bootloader of P20 Pro.
Basically, as you might already know, Huawei has removed the "bootloader unlock" page from its website. The paid service (DU-Unlocker) also does not have the device listed in its supported models.
Is there any working method now in 2019 whether it is free or paid or as a service that can unlock the bootloader of this device?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
I used this guy on eBay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fonzdirect
It took him a few days to do it, but it worked great!
Cheers

Hello, pardon me for inquiring further if you truly meant bootloader unlock code for p20 pro from "fonzdirect" on ebay, the seller you mentioned, as he does not provide bootloader unlock codes. His service only unlocks the SIM card to be used on other mobile phone carriers outside of U.K. "02 network", Vodafone, and perhaps others. I did not find his store to provide the service in which this thread is referencing. For the sake of accuracy, might you be conflating the two?
I have paid MinistryofSolutions the 30Euros on Christmas Day for the p20 pro bootloader unlock; however, that was the week his unlock services went down. I was refunded my money that same afternoon and have noticed the website reflect his no longer being able to provide the codes. I cannot justify paying a cent more for FunkyHawaii for what I will use it for. I simply want VoLTE and VoWiFI to be enabled on AT&T through property flags. Cheers.

Anyone tried HalabTech?
I've never dealt with them before and I don't want to risk paying to mess up my phone.
I'm not allowed to post links but googling "halabtech p20 pro bootloader" should get you there if you feel rich and brave.
