Can you guys use the app to speed up the research for us that want root, even if you dont plan on rooting ? Thanks
The app has only 11 requests so far. I think there might be more Axons out there
request submitted.
Ditto, last week

Looks like its gonna take a while for us, IF it happens.
Anyone on 5.1.1, not just us. I'm in no hurry anyway.
Still scouring the web for a root method with no luck. Guessing it will come from China via the Axon Lux. Keep searching on Baidu
Only 18 requests submitted on king root. I don't think this will be our solution.
Any updates on a working root method?
I would like to put in a request for root on the Axon Pro.
I'd like root request for the standard (A1) Axon, please.
Anybody that wants to request please download KingRoot and install. After opening the app you will automatically request i believe we are at 163 request but we need a lot more

It shows as only 119 requests on mine! Do you have the A1P? It had about 88 when I put in a request
Yes I have also have the Axon Pro A1P... I guess I was mistaken it is less then I had thought.
Good grief is this one not selling to well worldwide? Also the 3 devices are dramatically different across the board with the A1, A2015 and A2016.

That is sad.. .. The is actually not bad!!! If we had root and a custom roms this phone would be at the top of everyones list!!!

So I spoke with both ZTE and KingRoot. I got the usually bs from ZTE avoiding answering any questions I had. KingRoot on the other hand has been very helpful and it seems they are genuinely trying to find root for Axon pro A1P. They told me the next version they release should do the trick, but we will have to wait and see
Everyone needs to download KingRoot from playstore and let it cycle through your device at the end it will say that root was unsuccessful and it will ask you to submit a request to KingRoot team, the more submissions the more they will hear us. its one click and your voice will be heard! We need everyone to pitch in here!!! If anyone here knows any members of KingRoot please let them know we need their help this device is dying fast and that is really unfortunate with such potential. ZTE Sucks this will be the last phone I buy from them they are planing to release the ZTE Axon Pro 2 and all other variants the Elite 2 and the Lux 2, If anyone feels the same as me let it be known on ZTE's Twitter and Facebook Googe+ everywhere they are corresponding. They are dead to me anyways, I will never buy another ZTE device after how they show that they plan to operate. They don't care about what the customer wants and they wont even reason with us. I myself, personally told them I would give up my warranty if I could unlock my bootloader they would be liable for nothing they don't listen to what the customer wants and in business that is what will either make them or break them. Look at them manufacturers that are doing well from China - OnePlus and Oppo both will give the customer what they want and they are doing very well for themselves. I will stick with Open Source manufacturers who have proven to be open with me as a customer such as OnePlus, Oppo, Nexus, HTC, even LG, Sony and Samsung at least then we have the option to to use our devices how we want to and not how they limit us. ZTE has lost its way into the fold!!!
So we need to do all we can do to get the device we are stuck with out of this situation, if anyone can help in any way, please do what you can let ZTE know on every social media site they have!!! The voice of this community can be powerful it has worked before hopefully enough people can make it work once again.
I noticed that both Germany (upated to 127) and India (face unlock) have had updates but after talking on chat to the UK Honor rep there apparently is no information about any updates/features for UK customers.
Additionally tried to register for club.hihonor.com and the 'Country/Region' selection does not even include the UK at all.
So apparently we're ok to buy them and pay full price same as everyone else, but not ok for the same level of support or customer service.
I'm putting this here because I bought this phone after the positive reviews from many commentators but it's now obvious to me that these commentators don't all do their homework properly and some just concentrate on the product and forget about the other differentiator, which is the after-sales, customer service and support.

I think you just should wait. According to project Treble you should get updates anyway sooner or later.

Yes I'm aware of project treble, but that has absolutely nothing to do with honor, several other android phones support project treble indeed it is a must by google that any device with Oreo out of the box has to support it. The point i was making was particular to honor support not android in general. Additionally project Treble requires you to unlock the BL, OTA updates by manufacturer do not.

Apologies but your quoted project treble so i assumed you were familiar with what that entails. You can read up on it if you need deeper info but what it comes down to is to use project treble you replace your system.img partition and you cannot do that without unlocking your bootloader. A manufacturer provided OTA update is signed and therefore updates your system normally without having to unlock anything just a standard system update. That is why the point is that if honor does not provide updates you have to resort to some custom update which is not the same. Now Honor has already updated both German and Indian honor 9 Lite (read threads here and you'll find reference to that) but UK ones are not even scheduled according to their own customer service who i chatted with. Try and register on club.hihonor.com and you'll discover the UK according to them is not even on the planet since they list most countries except the UK.

As far as I understood Project Treble is more related to the vendor partition. Never ever heard before that you have to unlock the bootloader to get updates from Project Treble. Are you sure about that? Any links?

go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659 and search for 'vendor partition' and you'll realise what you say is partially correct. Some vendors integrate the vendor partition inside system.img some have A and B partitions some only have A partition (like ours). You can never overwrite the system partition without unlocking the bootloader because it is set to read only, if it wasn't the whole of the android community would be in a heap of trouble. Imagine users (who don't know what they're doing) gaining access to /system and amending stuff, the result will most likely boot loop or soft/hard brick your device.
Anyway, this is taking us away from the point I was making and apologies but will not be adding anything further, if you do not agree with it that ofcourse is your prerogative.

I'd say, this article makes a very good description of what Project Treble is in fact:
https://www.androidauthority.com/project-treble-818225/
@xzyk thanks for the info.
Im based in the UK also and was going to purchases the 9 Lite but i'll hold off for now. If custom ROMs pick up that may change.

Actions speak louder than words and by its actions to its UK customer base huawei/honor is showing how much it truly values us. Since there is absolutely nothing we can do about it i suggest best course of action is to vote with your feet and next purchase will be anything but a huawei/honor. At least that is still within our control. Huawei/honor give you some great value on hardware side unfortunately evidence shows that doesn't carry over to the software.

Which is what mine said till i used the Firmware tool on this site to upgrade from 8.0.0.128 to 8.0.0.131 so now i am on the latest. If you do the same i suggest you use the Full OTA update.
Huawei UK also said that 8.0.0.128 was the latest for the UK as well.
This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread for the Mate 20 Pro.
The below applies to both the Mate 20 and the Mate 20 Pro.
Install:
Currently FunkyHuawei has a new install method for EMUI 9 devices which is not public as of yet.
Unbrick:
Unbricking will be possible with the new HiSuite 9 method, but it is not public as of yet.
Rebrand:
Rebranding is not currently planned to be offered. Neither is single sim to dual sim conversion. This may change in the future.
Unlock:
Unlock codes are available via the unlock code order form, or by purchasing an unlimited pass. See the site for details.
If you have a global variant, make sure that you can choose Enable OEM Unlock in developer options. So far we have seen the option grayed out on all devices. If you can't enable this, even with the code, you can't unlock the bootloader.
It has been confirmed that bootloader unlocking on the Chinese variant is possible. On the global variant we can give you the code, but you'll need to be able to choose Enable OEM Unlock as specified above.
Root:
The methods which are not public are available to those who want to test them, by contacting FunkyHuawei support by email.
We will update this thread with any changes.
so I have to purchase for unlocking my device?
what the ..
I would prefer bootloader unlock with paid service rather than having Mate 20 Pro with access limitation. Since you as the owner, you should've the right to use your phone the way you want it. Since the official unlock method was suspended months ago, what else option do we have?

Sure, but these people are putting work in to it and want to be paid -- I don't believe they're affiliated with Huawei. If it was Huawei doing this, I'd understand your sentiment.
Keeping tabs here. I'm hoping to pre order the UK emerald green variant before the timeframe ends for the free gifts.
Not sure of the purpose of this thread. It offers nothing. So will it? Can the phone be unlocked? Is a purchase required?
We already know Huaweu have publicly stated all phones after an earlier date in 2018 won't be boot-unlockable. So curious...how will FunkyHuaweu help me?

Think we've gotta wait for Friday onwards, as seemingly people with devices now (presumably different software wise?) have the OEM unlock option greyed out in developer options.
As far as my understanding goes, if we can check that option, we can't unlock the bootloader..... Sad times if so.
I'll be hopefully getting my device on Friday and I'll be sure to see if that option is an option for me...
So is there any way to unlock bootloader other than OEM unlock?

As far as I know that setting needs to be checked, we need to be able to select Allow. Without it I don't think the bootloader can be unlocked, but I'd be gladly proved wrong!
Does rebrand from L09 to L29 work or is it in the works?
Edit.. Meant without root, not bothered about that.. Or are we saying we need unlocked BL nowadays to rebrand to doff model?

May change in the future, but right now, any kind of rebranding is looking very unlikely.
The same software updates can be offered for all brandings, which is a plus, so there shouldn't be such a need to rebrand, even if you have an obscure branding.
But enabling dual sim on single-sim, is looking very unlikely with the current state of things. We are looking into it, though.
Thanks for the reply. I need global, not Chinese with root... this is a Dev community - so I don't support anyone holding the root process for global ROM as a ransom. Happy to pay a contribution but it's meant to be shared..
Unless your version is a 1 click solution like chain fire and has no phone side effects, then I don't see the value on demanding a ransom

Demanding a ransom? LOL.
They're a business providing a service.
If others want to do it for free, there's nothing stopping them from doing so. The problem is, I doubt there will be enough people interested in doing that ... the Huawei / Honor development community has already been shattered.

I mentioned before, I need the device in hand to do it. No way currently exists that I could offer people to do at home. That might change in the future, but that is the current situation.
With the Chinese version, you can likely simply unlock the bootloader and root like any other phone.
With the global version, you could theoretically do the same if Enable OEM Unlock is available. But if it isn't available, the only alternative I can offer, is one that requires the device in-hand. It's nothing to do with ransom. I'd much prefer there were easier rooting methods available. My full-time job is reverse-engineering and exploiting Huawei devices, so it would make my job much easier.

Many moons ago, "JTAG'ing" a Microsoft Xbox 360 console required a but of heavy lifting...and by that, I mean a lot of specialized effort and knowledge to carry about a successful JTAG, see what I mean:
https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-JTAG-your-Xbox-360-and-run-homebrew/
So - with that in mind - are you literally pulling the Mate 20 Pro phone apart with special tools and connecting wires to it running specialized patent-pending software/s? I obviously need to ask as you have failed several times to mention WHY you need the "phone in hand" to root?!
Otherwise, if you're insinuating that it takes a lot of manual rebooting, flashing and lots of complicated software steps - well, that's why there's things called instruction guides....and people like me around offering to put one together so I/we can SHARE and help others in my position (who would want a rooted global version of this). So I will once again state, unless you can elaborate otherwise, it is in fact a ransom...imagine how much Chainfire, all those years ago, could've charged Samsung users for his (albeit, simpler) root method across the range and years of phone and tab models?

Just to add to this I'm willing, within reason, to help out in any way possible to achieve Magisk root for the global version. There is currently a pledged amount of around £170 and hell, even if some of those didn;t pay out I'd be willing to put more in....
If we can assist in anyway let us know....

If it was something like this, I would be offering it as a do-at-yourself service, with a tool. I can't offer it like that, I need the phone in-hand to do it, as I said.
I guess one could then ask the question: What if someone in relation to Huawei pays you for a phone (global) pre-rooted. Then, they investigate how or where the exploit was made - and eventually patch it anyway? It may take longer, but we'd end up in the same position as before if Huawei wanted to control root on their global models...and, given your work/livelihood, you would know better than most: If Huawei did NOT want this to happen, they certainly wouldn't make the CN version as simple and easy to root as you claim in this thread...and they'd have something in the pipeline, if not available now ready to patch the exploit...
I still do not see how the CN and Global versions can be so completely and insanely different.

Hi,
I'm just curious as why the mate 20 pro lacks such development
Are you speaking about custom ROM?
If yes it is simply because Huawei doesn't release any source code and it is hard to unlock bootloader etc so obviously it is really hard for developers to do something with that....

I never understand folks who buy Huawei products expecting rom development. Huawei made their stand awhile ago.
It's simple stuff. Buy pixel, OnePlus, xiaomi etc if you want amazing dev support.

Well you don't limit yourself if you use proper tools like magisk hide
People that want to customise a rom, or even know what is a ROM is potentially maybe, if I am generous, 0.1% of the potential phone market.
Huawei has the best stance, business wise. Why waste time and ressources to release codes for a minority of people that will barely impact your bottom line.
Despite the US ban this year, they are growing 24%, so my guess is they are fairly happy with their current situation, and won't miss 2-3 nerds on XDA wanting to change their phone from the inside out.

Is there a free guaranteed way to unlock it? I found many ways online but none worked with or without pc. The one with pc ask for a code.

I don't know what the use of this website. They called themselves developers but they have nothing to do with developing and never answer any questions. Even their steps for doing anything are just in their imagination as you can't apply them to your device. I tried many times but you definitely will get the same result from such losers
