Hey
I would like to update to pie as soon as it rolls out to my phone but I'm afraid that I can't unlock my bootloader after the update.. I have the code already but I didn't unlock my phone yet.
Will I still be able to unlock after pie update?

Yes, if your code is correct it will work also in Pie.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear

Two days ago I flashed B163C432 Firmware downloaded from https://androidhost.ru via dload folder and it locked my bootloader as usual, and I unlocked with my code without issues.

There are some tools here in XDA to do that. Try to find in P20 pro thread.

you don't need to lock your BL if you want to receive OTA ! anyway if you lock it you will be not able to unlock it again! my BL is unlocked and OTA update work perfect ! last OTA for L29 is 128 firmware but not 128a !

I understand. I replay to your answer.
I said you to look here ==> https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3779416
Or use FunkyHuawei tools.

Do you have a stock recovery or a TWRP? As I've read somewhere on the forum you have to be on the stock recovery to flash OTAs. But let someone confirm this cause I don't have the P20 PRO yet.

Is it simple enough to do? And did you relock the bootloader when it was complete?

Yes, it's pretty simple. I made it because I wanted to transform my P20 pro single sim to dual sim and it worked !
After procedure the new bootloader become re-locked. You can't use anymore the Huawei code to unlock boootloader and you can't root the phone or install twrp.
Until Funky find a system to unlock without code.

I had heard that using any of Funky's procedures relocks the bootloader and the Huawei bootloader unlock code no longer works. But like a lot of people, I purchased my unlock code from a 3rd party. So it would be interesting to see if it survived a Funky method.

I didn't know that we can buy unlock codes.
But surely your code do not work after procedure!
Because Funky firmware chanche your bootloader code. And so unlock codes doesn't work anymore.

Yes there are a few sites offering bootlocker unlock codes. https://ministryofsolutions.com/huaw...-new-firmwares does them for 30€, although they only accept so many paypal payments per day. https://global-unlocking-solutions-...es,_Choose_Model_Below/p5093122_19186756.aspx is €35 but has no limitations on paypal payments. I believe that both are totally legit, according to P20 onwers here.
Funky Huawei is a strange one. If you use one of their options to, say, change your region, model number etc, it will lock your phone again and make your current bootloader password useless. And the bad thing about this is, they don't offer an unlock service. Unless you pay for their unlimited use pass, which costs $132. Then they throw in a free bootloader unlock. I'm not sure if the relock and code breaking is a deliberate act by Funky Huawei but personally speaking, they should be giving a new working code to anyone whose unlock code they've trashed.
Hi everyone,
i was thinking about going back from Pie to orea to unlock the bootloader.
I know how to revert back but i wonder, is bootUNlock on Oreo still possible when you installed Pie before?

Wondering if someone could point me to a guide on how to downgrade to oreo and unlock the bootloader on the 7 Plus?
No need to downgrade. Open developer settings. Disable and re-enable it. You can enable OEM unlock

unlock the bootloader
Guys I enable the OEM according what you said
now how i could unlock the bootloader?
is it via fastboot tool or OST ?
and the file of unlocking where i can find it ??
The official bootloader unlock method has been out for a while. Its almost 2 years since the phone has been released. I was hoping by now maybe some developer would have picked this phone up and put it to use. Is there a reason why nobody has bothered to start development on this phone and build a custom ROM? I think this phone has great potential given its specs and price. It would be nice to so further customizations beyond those allowed by rooting the phone.
I could do it too if I had any amount of knowledge about Android development, but sadly im a noobie.
What are your thoights?
It's not possible I guess. And Nokia has locked down. Unlocking bootloader. I have Nokia official app and it says Device not support.

No, Nokia hasnt locked it down. The bootloader unlock method only works up to the November Oreo security update. Just downgrade to Oreo November security update then unlock the bootloader, and then upgrade back to Pie.
See this thread for instructions https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/unofficial-official-nokia-8-bootloader-t3898418

in 2018 I unlocked my bootloader,
yesterday I updated my rom with a Stock version (EMUI5.0.3),
stupid me I didn't wrote down the bootloader CODE from 2018
so I had to pay 4€ to DC unlocker, it worked. :angel:
now I want to go EMUI 8
but I need to know if I will be able to unlock the bootloader with the same CODE I got with EMUI 5 ?
(i want to use lineageOS, but apparently I need to upgrade to EMUI 8 first for some reason...)
no,it stays the same,ive flashed maybe 100 times and 100 times ive flashed/updated/rescued my phone and my bootloader code is still the same.But i never had to unlock my bootloader again.

you said you did it 100 time, and the code stayed the same

I don't get it. did you do it only one time or many time with different EMUI ?

You can use the same code. I once updated my phone from EMUI5 to EMUI8 and I have also relocked the bootloader with the dload method many times but I have always used the same code to get the bootloader unlocked again.

HI.
I am currently using the Tencent verions 8/128gb rog phone 2.
My bootloader is unlocked and i am running the latest WW rom with WW fingerprint.
I want to go back to the original factory state so that i may be able to get the Updates via OTA.
I want to go back to the original CN version and be able to get the OTAs
I read in some posts that Once bootloader has been unlocked. There is no way to get ota anymore. Whether it be cn or ww.. even if you lock the bootloader again??? is that true?
Can someone answer/help me get back to the stock/original factory rom.
i have attached the detailed snapshots showing my current version
First you will never get any OTA updates because you unlocked the bootloader.
Second stay on WW better for you no need to get back to CN there is no updates about 2 month ago.

Does not work like that. It states clearly on Asus bootloader unlock tool, doing bootloader unlock will permanently disable OTA updates. Since your IEMI number will be automatically black listed from their OTA server. So even if you re-lock your bootloader you still won't receive any OTA updates.

Don't ask me ask asus. Since they are stating this clearly on their information about their tool.
Also unlocking bootloader does not change IMEI number. That's why doing OTA with re-locked or unlocked bootloader won't give you anymore OTA.
And yes I have seen people saying updates through OTA no longer works once bootloader is unlocked.
