Network Unlock - UK Vodafone

Hi,
Anyone know of a trustworthy way of network unlocking the P9 ? I have received the device as a gift, but I don't use Vodafone and instead use EE.
I have in the meanwhile placed an order with sim-unlock.net but they take upto 8 working days to send unlock code
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
SK

I used dc-unlocker and received the code instantly. I also unlocked the bootloader at the same time.

€4 to unlock the network and a further €4 if you want to unlock the bootloader.
If you do the latter, note that you need to enable OEM Bootloader unlocking in the settings else it won't work.

Any further confirmations that dc-unlocker works? O2 PAYG/locked P9 on the way.

dc-unlocker worked perfectly on my UK Vodafone locked Huawei P9

Worked for me also.

Is the network unlock permanent? I mean, will it still be there if you are flash the phone with another ROM?

Hey guys just wish to let you know that i've given it a try as gambling 4 euro was not a problem (£3.67)
I can confirm that it worked on my P9 on the 12/12/17. it was on Vodafone and now it allows a GiffGaff Sim (O2)
The only thing i will say is the DC Unlocker did not find my phone while connected to a usb 3 socket but all good once i swapped it to usb 2
The whole thing took about 10 mins and the software does it all for you once you have got ur credits and login details.
So dont pay through the nose at your over priced high street store when you can easily read a few steep here and be sorting in mins.

Convert P20 pro from single to dual sim

Hi all,
Is it possible to force flash the dual SIM ROM on the single SIM phone? Obviously assuming I can get the bootloader unlocked and without using the funky Huawei tool as it costs money as far as I understand.
Also if possible will then the phone receive rom updates via OTA?
Thanks

You can email them in the UK and they will give you a bootloader unlock code [email protected]

normal dual sim have 2 diferent IMEI , conversion via FunkyHuawei you get only one imei with 2 sim

thanks, having a single IMEI shouldn't be a problem as long as the two SIMs are hosted on different networks. (at least this is my interpretation).

Would an adaptation of this method work?
http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/10/huawei-p10-lite-rebrand-convert-dual-sim-free-method.html
Effectively if we can change the oem info file to match the dual sim version then we should be able to flash the dual SIM firmware, right?

I see in another thread even if you do it the dual sim adapter doesnt fit in the single sim variant.

CLT-L09 has same hardware as CLT-L29 can be converted to dual sim with FHP20SingleToDual, no problem.
CLT-L04 has different hardware and can't be converted to dual sim.

Not true. One IMEI can manage two sim. You find The problem is in that countries where there is a sim-lock, like USA and Cina. This because IMEI is locked by operator. In Europe there aren't that problems !

Not true. But maybe you wrong understand. In first period there was no sim tray holder for P20 pro and someone (like me ) tested the sim tray holder of Mate 10 Pro. This works for both sim but it is too longer.
Now you can find the original sim tray holder of P20 Pro both from Huawei assistance and also from international resellers ( find it with google, like ali....)

I wrote many time in that thread : the RED sentence it isn't true ! With funkyhuawei method you can rebrand a CLT-L09 with single sim in a CLT-L29 fully working dual sim ! And I say this because I done this with my P20 Pro ! And many other poeple (for verified direct experience 5 people, but much more they said they did it). So I don't think that only few specimens of P20 Pro have a different hardware !!
I can say that all P20 pro have the same Hardware : both CLT-L09 and CLT-L29.
For your Last ask I must say that Maybe you read wrong because funky made specific tools for P20 Pro with EMUI 8.x.x . That info do you read is specific for older phone, like Honor or Mate

Did you read the rest of the thread? You didn't need to say he/she is wrong. That was from May and later people updated in June saying they did verify the dual SIM tray fit and works. Perhaps it was too early then that not many people knew and later discovered solution.

Just wondering if there has been any progress on this? I have rebranded from CLT-L09 to CLT-L29 and have purchased the official dual sim tray but the second sim will not get detected
Would rather not use the FunkyHuawei tool as it perma-locks the phone.

*Bump* - Can anyone please advise? I'd really like to convert my L09 to L29 to enable the second sim. I really don't want to use the funky method, due to serial change and bootloader re-lock etc.
Many thanks for your help.

Unlock bootloader

How do I unlock the bootloader of my Huawei mate 9 ?

Did you get the key before July 24? If not.... you can't. Not without paying some third party that might or might not work. (eg. Funky Huawei )

This worked for me. But you have to pay 4€.

It does work but first you need to downgrade your phone to nougat (Android 7.x) first and then it will work.

No, but there's a chance that the tools you buy access to might be able to extract that unlock code...no guarantee...no refunds...

EDIT seller says its 4.4.23+ EMUI/Android Version: 8.0 is that the unlockable one or is there more to the version that says it?

You need the build number and security patch date.
Pretty much all EMUI 8 builds on the Mate 9 run a 4.4.23+ kernel, even up through the latest security patches.
Once you know the build number, find it in Firmware Finder, and find the build for that region that enables GPU Turbo. If it's an older build, then it's likely that you could use the official rollback firmware to get the bootloader unlocked.

Yup, .375 is the latest one that's good, after that .377 had GPU Turbo and issues with downgrading.

so im good to downgrade? i will message you when i get the phone in a few days thanks

You won't get into the trouble that others did with .377 or later, yes.
But there's no guarantee everything works nicely.
Do read as much as possible before doing anything.
Also keep in mind that Android 9 is coming soon so maybe you don't need to unlock and whatnot.

UNLOCK bootloader app confirmed working (Not free though) for the Mate 10 / Pro

Not sure if people are aware of the app DC Huawei Bootloader Codes, but I've just unlocked my Mate 10 ALP-L29 using this app, there are 2 options, a cheap £3 one, which does not work on Android O firmware and the expensive, around £23, which gets the bootloader unlock code from the phone's IMEI, so had a go at it and not even 2min I got an email with the bootloader code and confirmed working, running Android Pie from the OpenKirin team and so far all seems to be working great, so good to be back to stock Android...
Just thought I would share my experience in case someone was not aware of this great app.

Not 100% sure, but it's based on IMEI, so I would say it should be fine, I know the app asks a few questions, but I assume is just to cover themselves... I know it's a bit expensive, but if you're fed up of EMUI it's a risk worth paying, it's like having a new phone

Did your IMEI / SN change?
Most probably it did, unless you used a rebranding method that I'm not aware of.
In this case this unlock code will not work.

Done on a dual sim version.
I send the first of the 2 imei (as seens in the infos) and got my unlook code in 5 minutes.
Unlocked now and use openkirin OmniROM Pie Alpha 2
Working great so far

still not supported by devices 8.x and above

that is, if I officially upgrade to emui9.0 something me will be available cheap option?

I've just bought a new Huawei Mate 10 Pro and haven't upgraded it in order to be able to unlock its bootloader. The build number is BLA-L29 8.0.0.120(C432), could I unlock it using the cheapest option (instant read bootloader code from phone) ? There are conflicting information on DC Unlocker's website.
Thank you !
Edit: I managed to get a code with the cheap option as I have an old build number on my device !

If it changed the IMEI number then you probably have a phone with an invalid IMEI number as a result, and one that will not function on the majority of carriers. The IMEI number is the actual identification used when the phone communicates, just like with network MAC addresses, no two devices can be active with the same number at the same time.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro Australian Discussion

I thought I'll make this thread for the Australian Mate 20 Pro Owners.
As we may all know already, Optus and other ozzy telcos are extremely slow with releasing there updates for our devices, it's very frustrating as we have to wait for important updates and fixes.
In this thread I'll love to hear from other Australians and there opinions on this matter. Also to discuss firmwares that have been flashed from other regions on our devices etc
All topics about our devices are all welcome

I have the L29. Currently with Telstra (Prepaid)
My last OTA update was 168 which I received around the end of December.
I recently unlocked my bootloader and updated to 182 following a guide in these forums
I also rooted my device using the same guide.
I don't really have too much to say on the speed of our updates, as I've only had my Mate 20 Pro since the 28th of Dec. It's my first android phone and I'm loving it so far. I've been wanting to get away from Apple for years, but the jailbreaking scene kept me with them. Now that the scene is almost dead I decided it was time.
So now I'm getting my head around rooting.

LYA-L29 here.. C636 SPCSEAS region on mine.
Have done the fh 171 update.. Now on unlocked bootloader and rooted 182. Tried the custom 182 rom but no joy with magisk in hiding safety net stuff for Google pay.. However with the stock 182 I was able to hide the safety net checks with magisk help.
What might be of interest to people to is I've been able to downgrade back to 171 and relock bootloader which previously was said could not happen. Back on 182 though now.

Currently running an L29 bought from eBay AU but originated in the UK as far as I can tell (based on the charger mains plug)
Latest version It'll update to is .168, it started off at .109 and has done 2 updates in the 2 days I have had it.
I've ordered a BL code and will look at rooting once I have it, there seem to be 2 different guides in this forum at the moment. Still working out which way to go. One of the methods definitely involves rebooting into recovery every time in order to get root, not sure if the other method does as well.

I find the 182 firmware to be a great one, I have noticed more of a battery drain on this one but nothing to really worry about.
I find it awesome that the hwota method works and we are now able to flash the same or higher firmwares with pretty much ease now. To be honest everytime I fiddled with my phone before the hwota method came out I would stuff something up then use funky Huawei to bring it back to life lol that was beginning to be an expensive venture haha.
This device shows alot of promise, I am currently using magisk and have used modules to pass safety net. Also used titanium backup to remove some system apps I never use. I froze Huawei home and now use nova launcher and used the Google framework module to install the Google phone and contacts app which I find much better. I am happy to say I now have the device exactly where I want it to be. I have also added a 64gb Huawei nano memory card to my device, as it may be expensive I thought why not. Now all my photos get saved to memory card

LYA-L09 from Optus here still on .122, with .146 due end of this month. Optus update schedule is a joke. As soon as FH .182 is safety net approved, I'm doing it. Don't really want to pay the $70 to unlock bootloader but will likely do that too eventually.

Yes Optus is a joke. Hopefully they start working on .171 which is supposed to have a unlock bootloader although I am sure optus will modify it to stay locked.

Optus are still stuffing everyone around with not yet releasing an almost 2 months old firmware. All they can do is give you a recorded message.
They certainly are the most pathetic telecommunications company.
Sent from my HUAWEI LYA-L09 using XDA Labs

It seems to have come to light that optus won't be supplying firmware updates, 2 reasons were mentioned today
1 is that huawei have not issued a software licence and will not provide optus with firmware.
2 is that optus have abandoned huawei firmware updates because of the huawei 5G and US ban with regards to spying.
All the times optus have mentioned testing firmware for the mate 20 Pro has been lies, it now is apparent that they were never testing anything.
This matter via being addressed by me in writing to both Huawei and optus, if they fail to respond or provide a firmware update solution. Consumer Affairs Victoria will be filing a complaint against them con VCAT Court.

They are not testing .183 they are supposed to be working on .188 but at this point optus don't have a software licence from Huawei, and huawei are refusing to release the firmware until they get a licence approved.
This could be months or not even happen at all
They also have never been testing any firmware because huawei have never released any to them for testing as to date.
Here is the message I received from Optus last week.
Hey Darren,
This is what I recieved internally from our Tech devs,
For Australian carriers, Huawei will release MR every 2 months. They do not know the release details until about 1 month before the release. They have skipped .146 and .183 because they did not meet Optus requirements. We are going to get .188 for testing which is the later version than .183. The only way for the customer to get .183 is to buy an open market handset.

So we're all still on .122 ?
I want to say "un ****ing believable" but it's really not.
It's simply not good enough
