Unlock P9 Plus (Chinese version, VIE-AL10)

Hi, I'm trying to root my P9 Plus but I can't obtain a bootloader unlock code.
I created a huawei id account, went to the page to request the code, inserted all the data (product id, version, imei) but he says that i must be logged with this huawei ID on the smartphone. When I try to login with the huawei id on the phone my region isn't supported (i'm in europe). I could use a fake position app but I need root and so I'm back to square one. Anybody succeded in doing this?

Also by doing so Huawei won't know you unlocked the bootloader which normally automatically void your warranty.

Rebranding chinese P20 pro

Hi all,
I'm a little ignorant on this subject, so I'll ask all my questions here. Please, be kind...
I'm moving from a brazilian Xperia XZ to a chinese P20 Pro (my father-in-law works there) and I know that I need to do a rebranding.
But the question is: For which firmware/local?
What I found until now is that the phone has a FW version (is that correct?) CLT-AL00.
Thanks in advance for the answers!

You need to use FunkyHuawei rebranding tool and firmware installation. I had the same model and rebranded to European version CLT-L29. It removed all the Chinese language and made the phone 100% English, which was my goal.
First: Obtain unlock code for the bootloader from Huawei. Contact UK Team.
Second: Create account on FunkyHuawei and buy enough credits to rebrand and install firmware (FunkyHuawei will help you choose the correct ones, ask them)
Third: Follow instructions and contact FunkyHuawei team if you have problems using their tools.
Notes:
After rebranding and firmware installation, you're bootloader will continue to display a message that you're bootloader is unlock and untrust. To fix that, just lock the bootloader again with your unlock code. Don't lose it.
Fastboot mode = Connect USB + Power Down + Volume Down
eRecovery mode = Connect USB + Power Down + Volume Up
Rebranding is not permanent. You change the region again if you want. Same with the firmware.
If you need to recovery for some reason, eRecovery might work with Huawei servers. If eRecovery doesn't work using the normal method, use FunkyHuawei to recover again with firmware installation.
Backup everything before recovering. Cloud backup, PC backup, or whatever method you choose. Keep a record of your system information. Example: IMEI, Serial Number, Serial Number. Some tools can modify these for some reason, so if that happens, you have the necessary numbers to restore. Screenshot them from Settings app and Backup those screenshots.
If you have 2-step authentication apps on your phone, backup those settings or keys before rebranding or installing/recoverying firmware, or you will lose access to certain services.

That was helpful, thank you!
Wow, about $50usd to rebrand? There goes the savings I had buying the China version lol

The phone arrives today and I find that it already comes with 8.1. Can I rebranding with the same method?

You can also do the same for free. There is my tutorial and files which you need

How can I lock the boot loader again after I have unlocked it?

OK, I understand myself
Use fastboot OEM relock xxxxxxxxxx

This is kind of random, but if i purchase the Chinese variant of this phone does anyone know if it would work on CDMA technology (Verizon)

Where/how to find the rebranding codes
Hi all,
I do have the same issue... I have a Chinese version P20 Pro which I would like get into the European version.
I’ve contacted huawei support but they told me that the unlocking codes are no more available for end users . Is there any solution ?
To have the Chinese version does not allow me to have wathsapp etc.
Thanks for you help.

You can do almost everything with the chinese version, you just need to install the Google Apps by yourself (sideloading) first.

Are there currently any ways to unlock the Mate 10 (/Pro)'s bootloader?

After Huawei killed their bootloader unlock website, users have been left unable to unlock their bootloaders. Is there something like dc-unlocker for the Mate 10 (Pro)?

Yes dc-unlocker

As far as I know there's only one for the Lite, it didn't detect my phone

DC-Unlocker not supported the following devices:
WARNING:
Huawei P20 EML-xxx all versions not supported
Huawei P20 Pro CLT-xxx all versions not supported
Huawei Mate 10 ALP-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
Huawei P10 VTR-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
Huawei P10 plus VKY-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
Huawei Mate 9 MHA-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported

DC-unlocker works if you're on BLA-L29C432B142 or lower. They did something in B145 which fixed dc-unlockers unlock code generation and the backdoor they use with DC-Phoenix. And you can't use FH to downgrade either (Not tested on B145 but on B148-SP1).
I'm not sure what builds are on other custs, but this is the Night Shot update on C432.

F*ck, my phone was 142 and I have updated in 145 just out of the Box...
Damn.

Dc-unlocker Give it a crack might still work, you just need to make sure you put the phone into management mode so it can read it phone. Just unlocked mine last night. Running magisk v16 working decrypted twrp and emui 8.0

The question is from 148 is this possible to Downgrade with Funky Huawei to lower, 142 for example and Root with DC unlocker ?

No it is not, at least one user couldn't (I know it's not much, but it's a friend of @Pretoriano80). I think someone in the Funky thread tried too.
It finds update and that but stays on 0% forever. He was trying to downgrade to both b145 and b142.

I have mate 10 pro running 8.0.0.141(c636) and I just tried dc it didnt work just got unknown error 375 everytime it tried to read it.

Has anyone tried BLA-A09 8.0.0.119(C567) I cant get dc unlocker to even recognize my phone.

Used DC Locker today on BLA-A09 8.0.0.111 fresh out of the box.
I followed these directions:

https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
The one issue I ran into was fastboot oem unlock wouldn't work initially. I went into developers options to find the oem unlocking feature greyed out. To fix this turn off automatic updates in developers options. Then put your sim card in and restart your phone. (I was keepoing the sim card out to prevent updates) I was able turn on the OEM unlocking feature after this.

I got it to work. I just had to change it from modem to phone

Guys, i just bought mate 10 lite and i have bunch of noob questions. Instead of starting new thread i wanted to ask here.
So my phone on RNE-L21C185B142 version. I read the forums and got my bootloader unlock code from dc-unlocker before its too late. So i am able to unlock my bootloader and root my phone right now.
1- Should i unlock my bootloader? I was using cyanogenmod and lineageos on my previous 2 phones. I like customize my phone thats why i install custom roms.
2-If i unlock my bootloader am i still able to get official updates somehow (like flashing from adb or twrp) without relocking bl?
3-If i install custom rom or root can i go back to stock 8.0.0.142 version so i can unlock my bl again?
Thanks in advance

Locking Bootloader

Hey
So i used FH to rebrand and install the Android 9 Beta version on my P20 Pro.
During this i had to unlock the bootloader. So now, whenever i restart my phone, it warns me about not being safe. Could this also be why Google Pay does not work?
Questions:
How do i lock the bootloader again
Will this factory reset my phone?

Bypass FRP

Hi,
I have a problem with my Huawei P9 that I bought used. I realized during the reset that the Google account is blocked, but I no longer have the number of the person to whom I bought the phone.
I tried the videos to bypass frp, but I do not have access to the menu "help & feedback" (3:20 in the video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSLJchfjQkM
I think that rom includes a new patch security :crying:
I'm looking for a way to install TWRP to change the rom and go Cyanogen to bypass FRP or attempt a downgrade of the official rom.
The concern is that my computer is not detecting the phone. A warning message tells me that the usb device is not recognized. I think it's a security of Huawei not to have a user use adb or other commands to change rom.
I think the bootloader is lock.
Do you know a way to bypass frp on huawei phones with the latest security update or is there a way to change rom with a bootloader lock phone and no possibility to go into the settings to allow the enable usb debbugging (since I'm stuck when I start the phone)
Thanks

Can you boot in system?

How could he flash with the locked FRP?!
Btw, once you are (already) on AL10 Oreo, you don't have OEM Unlock option in Developers menu.
But to rebrand by HWOTA7, you needed FRP and Bootloader unlocked.
Moreover, even on AL10, if you boot to Fastboot you would see that FRP is unlocked.
And there is an attribute in one of the system XML files, if you enable it (root required for editing) you will unleash the previously hidden OEM Unlock option in Developers menu (ie, then you would have OEM unlock option in Developers menu just like in Nougat)

Look at this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/bought-phone-ebay-registration-wizard-t3840803
Similar case with the second-hand P9, where previous owner did not remove his Google account before removing his SIM card and giving the phone.
Read post #1 and then post #7 till the end - solution was DC Unlocker/Phoenix with the price of 15 Euros credits.
PS:
- When doing Factory Reset you should either had original SIM from the previous owner, or he had to remove himself his Google account(s) from the phone
This way phone reacts as if it was stolen (with the SIM card protected by PIN, and when the thief then removes original SIM and tries to bypass Google and FRP protection)

Great !
The software is easy to use and i pay 15€ for unlock my Huawei P9.
I click on the unlocking button after putting my phone in fastboot mode and immediately, the phone reboot and makes a factory reset low level.
I think DC unlocker find system flaw that they alone know.
I do not know which version of android had the phone and which version of the security level but for this rom the security level of android is February 1, 2017 and the android version is 7.0 with EMUI 5.0.
Knowing that I could not bypass with 2018 methods found on youtube or xda, the phone downgraded to another version of android.
I think that their software finds a flaw for downgrade with the bootloader lock and that remove the frp protection
Thank you zgfg

Btw, now when you opened FRP and Bootloader, did you upgrade to the relevant latest Nougat, or do you consider going for AL10 Oreo?

Btw, EVA-AL10c00 b535/b539 is also EMUI
Stock firmware already contains international languages, just few patches are needed to get
