Is there a way to bootloader unlock a P10 on Oreo?

With huawei no longer providing a code , it looks like DC unlocker only supports android 7.x?

No I just unlocked my bootloader running Oreo with DC yesterday, it works great!

Thanks, you're right it does work as I've just done mine too. Strange as DC unlocker site says
"Huawei P10 VTR-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported"

HI! I'm newbie with huawei phones! Tell me please how do I unlock bootloader, it's this DC unlockes free and safe? Do I get official ota updates after I unlocked bootloader? Do you recommend any stable aosp or lineage os? Lots of thanks!

DC unlocker costs about 5 USD. So far it worked for many, but it may stop working in the future if Huawei manages to patch the opportunity they are using. You do get OTA's if you just unlock, but not anymore if you root or install twrp.
Openkirin makes good treble roms. Their website is very informative (openkirin.net) and the developers are active on the Telegram support channel.

I tried for my P10 and he asks me 15 €.
It's a little excessive because there is no guarantee of a good result

Isn't it there another easier way? goddammit huawei... Top 10 anime betrayals.

++ I have same problem with my P10. Actually i have written Huawei Global and Huawei Turkey to get bootloader unlock code; but they did not give that code because of "ensure customers have the best and safest possible experience". I will apply some legal procedures to give that code.

Which ones?

It's just poor for Huawei that they do this to their users.
If I buy something it's mine, it's not the property of the manufacturer anymore.
Even though Huawei added this regulation to their Eula it's just a flaw to their customers and for me a reason to tell everybody they shouldn't buy Huawei anymore. The P10 was my first and my last Huawei device.
I'm happy that I have my unlock code.
I have a little conspiracy: DC Phoenix is driven by Huawei to make some extra money for unlocking devices

Congrats about that but this is not my case, I'm on stock and wonder if I could unlock my bootloader with this people and I was not happy with open Kirin for example, I could go back to the same state of the phone I am now? I need to please that the answer is safe as I can not afford to buy another mobile. Now I have the VTR L09 8.0.0.375 c432 and and I've never done anything to the Phone.
With what service would you make a complete copy of the phone? I know it's two questions, but I need you to help me with the two, please. Thank you.

You need to backup your /system with TWRP before you flash an Open Kirin Rom.
After this you'll be able to go back but you still need to do a factory reset.
You also be aware that stock Android misses some nice features EMUI has like scrolling screenshot or flip cover support.

But I have not unlocked the bootloader, I'm on stock as a virgin, Can I make copy with twrp? How plz?

Without unlocking the bootloader you can't flash anything on your P10. You need to pay for DC Phoenix if you want to unlock or pray to holy Ren Zhengfei, maybe he listens to you and changes the Huawei policies as CEO...

So, the steps are : unlock, then can use twrp for a full backup or need root?, and finally follow the open kirin instructions for flashing a rom with magisk

Exactly. Did you ever used stock Android? It's not a great experience as you expect, maybe. I tried it for some weeks and turned back to EMUI after missing 100% functionality.

UpI used rr rom in a moto g 4g and I loved this rom, the look overall. I don't use flip covers and scrolling screenshot lucky for me. But what else you loose/miss changing to rr rom plz? And remember my question before about need root besides for backing up with twrp? Nfc works? Another three questions sorry?

1-Yes if you buy the phone its yours. Do whatever do you want to..sorry what you can do (with locked bootloader). The device is maybe yours, but the software isn´t. I repair phones for a friend of mine who has a mobile shop (seeling making repairs). I do only the software things (reflashing roms, unbricking devices, removing FRP, miaccount lock and so on) and 99,7% of coustomers don´t even know what android version they have and what is root. The rest (0,3%) are noobs who don´t understand what to do and they bricked their phone trying to root, instal magisk....
2-The problem is, that unlocking bootloader is matter of maybe 1% of all customers. Then 50% of this 1% claim warranty repair because they bricked their device. so why souhld Huawei deal with that, they just don´t allow unlocking bootloader and tha´t it.
3-DC Phoenix is driven by Huawei. It is some year known fact.

Even if it's just for 0,3% of all Android users it's a matter of Principe.
When I buy something it's mine. As you said, the software license is legally owned by the manufacturer but not the hardware. So, when I buyed a phone I should've the right to install a third party software to remove the ownership by the manufacturer.
When I buy a T-shirt I can modify it by myself as I want even if there's a logo visible, which is official linceses by the manufacturer who isn't allowed to forbid modifications on this T-shirt.

Is it possible to unlock bootloader of Huawei Mate 10 Pro at the moment ?

I've contacted DC-Unlocker and Ministry of Solution to know if it's possible to unlock bootloader and they answer me it isn't.
Does it not exist any way to unlock bootloader of my Huawei Mate 10 pro BLA-L29 ?
Bye

Depends on your build.

I have successfully unlocked mine in December using an unlocking service I found on eBay from "mnz technologies" but it seems they no longer offer it. I also know of a site called "GSMZambia.com" and they claim that they can do it but the service is also unavailable at the time of posting.
So to answer you question: it is possible but probably not at the moment, you'll just have to be on the lookout.

Nope.
That said, it depends on your build if you can use HCU client to unlock. (Was patched in May 2018).
But there are a few services, all are down at the moment though.

My exact same reasons for moving away a couple months ago to oneplus 6 and I haven't regretted it for one moment.
Huawei pulled the plug on advanced users and as you can see on this forum the support has been killed subsequently where as oneplus has HUGE community support.
My primary phone right now, with xxx-no-limtis-rom, magisk, xposed and after dedicating my time it gives me a full two days of mild usage time. I passed my mate 10 pro to my daughter but she doesn't get more than one day. Pitty, it's a nice phone with good hardware, but having a manufacturer decide for me what I can do with my phone is just outrageous.

Sorry to flog a dead horse, but has there been any progress in getting bootloaders unlocked for Mate 10 Pros? I wanted to root mine ages ago, but stupidly dropped it and broke the screen. It's taken me a while to get around to replacing the screen and now it's good t ogo, but in that time it appears that all means to root it are no longer valid.
It is a BLA-L09 single-im Mate 10 Pro, which is at stock EMUI and Android of 8.0.0, with build 8.0.0.133(C782) and security patch 1st October 2018. Can anyone give me a definite answer as to whether I can root this, and if so, how?

You can, but you will need to disassemble your phone. You will need to use test-point to write board firmware, then use HCU Client while on board firmware to get unlock code. After this you repair imeis and stuff using HCU, else you will have no imeis or network. There's a lot of work for the code xD When you've repaired you need to flash a dload firmware, preferably 8.0 but it needs to be from after May 2018.
If you plan on using EMUI10 you won't need the unlock code as Huawei removed the ability to unlock altogether, even with the code...
It can be tricky getting the back off as it's IP rated. If you replaced screen yourself you probably have opened it already
Let me know if you want to do it, I can assist you on Telegram.
Also please note that a HCU Client/DC Phoenix license is needed, it's $19ish for 3 days of usage. And you will need BLA Board firmware. Dload to 8.0.0.133(C782) can be found for free on androidhost.ru.

Thanks ante0, appreciate the offer. I had a friend change the screen for me (i'm more software than hardware) so will ask them and see. Sounds like a lot of work. Damn Huawei.

Not using the 10 pro, but normal mate 10 with emui 10. I have option in developer options to enable oem unlock which might be bootloader unlock. and I have unlock code saved from emui 8.
1) Is there a point in unlocking bootloader if there is no development on roms? And is there even a way to root it with an unlocked bootloader anyways
2) I didn't want to lose data trying it if there was no benefits to unlocking it
3) I kind of forgot how to unlock it anyways, if someone had old instructions, I'd be open to testing if it works up to the point of actually doing it because I don't want to lose data.

It doesn't matter if it's Mate 10 Pro or Mate 10,on EMUI 10 you won't be able to unlock the bootloader, even if you have the code.
And no, root is not possible without unlocking the bootloader.

Root huawei mate 10 lite
Hello, my phone is huawei mate 10 lite RNE-L21 8.0.0.346(C432).With EMUI and android 8 and security patch 1st November 2019. Can anyone give me a definite answer as to whether I can root this, and if so, how?

313 hour wait time , Are you kidding me ?(Can't unlock bootloader)

I had already unlocked my device way back (July 27) and have permission to unlock on my account . I had locked my devices while flashing a fastboot rom and for the past week i have been trying to unlock bootloader without any luck. And now the tool tells me to wait for 313 hours(13 days).
Why the hell am i supposed to wait to unlock my bootloader again?. I've already waited once and unlocked the bootloader two months back. I do not understand the thought process of the people at xiaomi, like why make me wait again. The unlocking process was time consuming enough and now they had to **** it up even more.
Does anyone know the reason for this issue, and how it can be fixed.
I am really frustrated with how xiaomi is handling this situation

This is normal behaviour from the tool, if you unlock once and then relock all on the same xiaomi account you have to wait, 7 days for 1st unlock. Don't think there is a way round this as its connected to your account

please add your account in MIUI's Settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status
I'm going through this too, MrCrowley37 have you been successful? I sent an e-mail to xiaomi and they replied that I have to continue using the device, since the device does not boot.
Thank you for contacting Xiaomi Customer Support and sharing the snapshot. I am Saloni and Understand that you are facing issues while unlocking the bootloader.
I would like to inform you to wait for some time and then try to unlock the bootloader as it is a server process it may take some time. Kindly use your device as it has not been used for a particular time through which it can unlock the bootloader.
For any further query, feel free to write us back!
Best regards

I saw your message in another post: "I bricked my k20 so I flashed a fastboot ROM, but selected the flash and lock option by mistake. The fastboot ROM was 10.3.3 and the unlock didn't work.

General [CLOSED][SamPWND] Bootloader Unlock [S21/S21+/S21U - U/U1/W]

Note: This Thread is @svetius Approved!
NOTE: Thread locked and link removed until OP returns
SamPWND Bootloader Unlock Service
It is now possible to unlock the bootloader of USA/CAN Samsung S21 Models!​
Note2: This is an informational thread that links to a paid service. Paid service is not a service provided by XDA.
The service described in this thread is simply to provide a remote service that will unlock the bootloader on USA Samsung devices released from the S10 and newer devices. This includes S10, N10, S20, N20, S21, Flip/Fold models, Tab S7 etc. devices which typically will have the letter U, U1, W or in some carrier specific cases might have a different letter, for example, N976V is Verizon N10! 5G model which is also unlockable. This service is not for Exynos variants or China/HK variants that are already unlockable by default.
Due to the nature of this service, there is no exploit that exists. It is also device specific so it is impossible to release any sort of exploit or method that would work on every device due to it being device specific. I will explain more of the process below but please understand that individual files are needed for me to purchase to unlock your devices and of course that is why this service is not able to be provided for free. You all know from my past experiences and posts that if I could provide a free method I would have already done so.
Spoiler: Process
1. First you should be sure to read the FAQ's and all other information on the website and in this thread etc. then be 100% sure that unlocking is what you want to do. Read the notes/disclaimers, refund policy, etc. etc.
2. If you decide unlocking through this service is what you want to do, proceed to the website REMOVED and in the menu go to the "Purchase" tab.
3. Be sure to read each step clearly and enter in accurate information. Form is designed to help walk you though getting your OneUI version, bootloader version, the correct DID etc. etc. It also includes a brief description of the refund policy as well as a signature box to sign just iindicating that you have read everything and agree. This is also done so that if you are on a device or a specific update/bootloader version that cannot be unlocked then it will tell you so and will not allow you to make a payment or will show 0$. If you can unlock your device, it will show you the price and allow you to make a payment once you have completed the form.
4. It will take 1-2 business days (not counting weekends, holidays, as well as life events such as if I get sick or life happens or my source is not available at the time etc.) to have the payment hit my bank account at which time I will send to my source to obtain your unlock "token."
5. Once token is received, I will proceed to message you on Telegram or Discord (whichever you prefer, you have the option to leave your username for both when filling out the form) and will send Instrucitons in a txt file along with modded ODIN (in case you don't already have it) as well as your unlock token so that you can unlock your device at your earliest convenience!
Spoiler: Notes
I wanted to try and keep the XDA threads short and clean so any notes or FAQ's you have questions for I suggest you view the website including the FAQ's first as well as the support group on TG is a good place to talk to others who have already unlocked or planning to unlock using this service as well as you can ask in this thread as usual.
The "Purchase Form" on the website when filled out correctly based on your device will tell you if your device is unlockable or not so fill that out first and if unlockable it will tell you the price at the end of which you can either pay or not depending on what you decide!
Spoiler: Disclaimers
-IMPORTANT - Do NOT blindly update if you are unlocked already or if you plan to unlock your bootloader via this service. Sammy has incremented the bootloader and updated some devices to OneUI 3.1 which breaks the BL unlock. Devices still on the same rev (i.e. S20 at time of this writing) then you can just flash back an older OneUI firmware and device will be unlocked again. If you update to OneUI 3.1 on new bootloader version then you likely will lost the unlock and can't downgrade (i.e. S20FE on rev2/3, N20 and S21 Models on rev2). That said, there are some devs posting some "safe" update files to allow you to update to latest firmware without losing your unlock so before taking any updates always check in the support group first. You have been warned!
- This method will unlock the bootloader allowing you to use custom firmware, custom kernels and everything else that is allowed with an unlocked bootloader including Magisk root.
- Please read the policies on the website including refund policy. Proceeding with the unlock service assumes you have read everything including the policies and decided to continue with the service.
- This DOES NOT unlock your SIM or carrier/network. it is NOT a SIM unlock.
- This process modifies the steady partition. Therefore if you end up messing with this partition or get another remote service such as combo flash or sim unlock service etc. that messes with the steady partition then you might overwrite the unlock and essentially relock the bootloader. Chances are if you have no idea what a steady partition is then I would not worry about it at all.
- Knox will be tripped. This means apps that rely on Knox flag not being tripped will no longer work i.e. Secure Folder, Samsung Pay etc.
- Once the device is unlocked, if for whatever reason it is locked again then it cannot be unlocked anymore. So make sure that once you unlock the bootloader that this is the choice you want to make and you want it unlocked.
- This service is strictly to unlock the bootloader. It is not a root thread, ROM service etc. What you choose to do with your device after being unlocked is your choice. Once device is unlocked, this thread/service will have served it's purpose. Links to other threads sources will likely be provided in another post just so users who are unlocking will have an easy reference and to keep this thread clean.
Spoiler: Feedback/Complaints
If you have any complaints about the service or want to provide feedback then please do so via PM and/or the contact page on the website or via TG/Discord if we have already spoke there etc. Do not bother the forum moderators with complaints regarding the service itself because they are not affiliated with the service and I simply got permission to post about and talk about the service. I assume this isn't something usually granted but I'd like to believe due to me being a long time member, contributor, developer and moderator that an exception was made. Keep in mind, if this somehow get's out of hand or goes south I am sure I will end up having to delete this thread. Let's not let it get to that point!
Spoiler: Purpose
- This is not a get rich quick scheme or something to make money. Trust me, I wouldn't even bother with this if my purpose was to make money because it is not very lucrative to say the least. There is cost involved with purchasing the actual unlock, site costs, payment gateway fees to be able to accept payments, time and effort to process the unlocks etc. so take all of that into consideration when weighing the cost.
- It has been years since USA models had a device that could be unlocked. I have spent countless weeks researching security since the S8. I released root methods for S8 devices as well as the S9/N9 devices at a later time which took a long time to figure out and that was just a basic root method. I was skeptical at first about this unlock process but trusted my sources and when I first unlocked my device I did various testing and concluded it is legit! At this time no one else knew about it, couldn't talk about it, etc. By word of mouth (until now), many devs/users have unlocked their device using this service. TWRP threads have popped up, some custom ROM threads have started popping up etc. The hope of going public is we get a lot more users purchasing and unlocking their devices (when it otherwise is not possible) and drives the development for USA devices.
XDA is the ONLY place I have published this post and would like to keep it that way. You are NOT allowed to create your own posts in regards to this service and if I see any other posts around this service I will ask to have it removed. You can however link to this XDA post if anyone has questions as to how your device was unlocked.
Spoiler: Website
Note: If you frequented the website before, I have removed the "forum" function from the website since we can discuss everything here on XDA in this thread so there is no need for a forum to be attached to my website any longer. Registration on the website is not required for anything. You can view the shop and purchase the service or view the ROM's section to see some of my SamPWND ROM's and download them etc. if you like all without registering or anything.

I wasn't sure where to ask this question, if I need to go somewhere else, please let me know. I am considering getting my ATT Bootloader unlocked - but I have a question - once the bootloader is unlocked, what happens when therre are new firmwear releases? Are we able to update when new Firmware is released? Or will that return the locked bootloader? Just want to be sure I understand potential issues I might have...
Thanks

It all really depends. Nothing is forever. Only way a update will break things is if samsung updates their security but doesnt usually happen often.
Thaat said, theres ways to update safely so I wouldnt just blind flash updates until its confirmed one way or the other. Usually its important if they increment the BL because then u cant flash older firmwsre.

Welp, I have the desire to get this done sometime soon. I just keep having busy weekends! But I wasn't aware that I'd be able to flash BL update packages so long as they don't relock the BL. Any idea on where I could find out if the next software update contains a BL file that'd relock me? If so, then I'd be doing this ASAP lol.

Thanks for your repsponse to my previous question - Of course, there is no way to know if and when Samsung will update/increment the bootloader, but if I am not mistaken, it doesn't happen very often. That being said, it sounds like as long as I am careful about updating - waiting to make sure the Bootloader hasn't been updated that way which prevents going backward - I most likely won't lose "the unlocked" when I update new firmware.
One last question (probably a dumb one) so if everything checks out with the Bootloader when new firmware is released, I assume that we can just use Odin to flash the updated firmware - is that correct?
- By the way, thanks for your help with this.

Yeah, but each software update has a bootloader update included, hence why I was asking where I could find out whether or not flashing that file via Odin would end up relocking the bootloader... I suppose we'll have to just check around here on the XDA forums to find out whether or not the updates would be flashable whilst having your BL unlocked... =(... So we may have to wait a few months until we start seeing posts discussing exactly that...that is, of course, unless Samsung publicly announces whether or not the BL update will have security changes... But being that I haven't had a Samsung phone for the last decade, I'm not really sure if they'd ever announce that information... But hey, that's the one question that's holding most people back from getting a bootloader unlock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Glad you got this service up and running. This is just awesome. Should get this stickied because I just found it now and of course was not looking for it because I would not have thought a bootloader unlock was available. Eitherway... off to sampwned.com!

@elliwigy Food for thought: Add on service: TWRP Install?
I would feel a lot better about $150.00 if I at least got a free TWRP install. I mean I bought a $60.00 screen protector and got it installed for free. Unlock phone and get free TWRP install. Advertise it as a limited time deal.
Either way I think it would be a great add-on service even if a small fee applied.

How long does it usually take to get a response back? I got the first email like 4 days ago, this is normal?

Like I'm waiting for the unlock code or whatever it is I use to unlock the bootloader, it's been 5 days now?

To you and others who fill out the form:
If you fill it out and it doesnt give you the option to pay or says 0$ then that means your device is not currently unlockable. Hence why you woukdnt get any response from me since I respond to those that are unlockable and have submitted payment.
I dod add yesterday if you are not unlockable itll give you a message saying you cannot unlock at this time to further clarify it.
I will update OP tonight as much has changed since first launching/posting SamPWND services.

Before I buy just want to make sure my bootloader is unlockable. My baseband version is G998U1ES4BULE

Question Updates about Realme 8 pro modding options

Hi all, i don't follow modding world from a while so i don't know what happened more or less into the last 3 years, so now that i need to root the device i wanted to do some questions.
I bought a realme 8 pro at the dayone and now i have the last update installed (so realme UI 4.0). I wanted to do the root but i don't know how much realme support it, if the bootloader is locked or not, ecc. ecc.
I saw in this phone thread that there is a method (the guide is written in May, 14 so it seems very recent) about unlocking bootloader (so i guess is locked?) using deeptest, i tried to read but i didn't really understand what kind of thing is that. So i wanted to ask, what is deeptest? if it is locked, if i successfuly unlock this bootloader what happens to AIO updates? (I guess there will be no updates such as other devices?). If the AIO updates stop to work, Is there a way to manually download and install updates? Can i root this device using magisk for example? I have seen there is something, but there are these things i can't understand.
Thanks in advance for replies and sorry for my bad english.

Hi, yup, the bootloader is locked.
Deeptesting is an app by realme used to request an unlock code. You can try this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-bootloader-help.4425415/post-86777721
Try submitting your application, if it tells you "Your model doesn't support deeptesting" you'll have to follow my guide.
Either way, after a bit of waiting, inside Deeptesting → query approve result → start Deeptesting.
Doing this allows your phone to boot into fastboot. Where you can unlock your phone using
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your data.

Hi, thanks for the reply! So there is a method to unlock the bootloader. But if i do it, i can't update anymore my device via OTA, right? How could i do that thing. In addiction, is not possible to obtain root permission without bootloader unlock? Because i need root to save whatsapp messages 'cause the application is stupid and can't do a backup by itself.
In addiction... I downloaded deeptesting and my phone does not support it. Yeah

You can get OTAs if, and only if, you didn't modify the firmware. Unlocking itself doesn't break OTAs, but rooting/custom kernels/vbmetas etc. will.
You can't get root without unlocking. As per Whatsapp, I think you can use ADB to back up data without root.

Thanks again. As i know ADB is disabled for whatsapp from a while. Ok then, thanks anyway for all informations. I guess after the bootloader unlock i can install magisk to obtain root acces.
