Hey all,
So I've heard that Huawei has stopped giving out unlock codes? I tried to go to their website to apply for it (giving my IMEI etc) and instead of giving me a code it just says 'please contact Huawei for questions'
I'm trying to set up project treble with it if I can figure it out.
Thanks!
You can with dc unlocker. You Just need to pay 5 euros and they Will unlock boatloader
I got my code on 08/06/2018
In the morning at 7:05 AM IST on 08/06/2018 i applied for my bootloader unlock code and i got it easily. BTW did you cross check other pre-selected options? Like 1st one asking EMUI version? Maybe that's the reason of you not getting unlock code.
Try again or Use the mailing method(I don't know much about but you have to mail the support to obtain the unlocking code and it might take upto 2-3 days)
Just got my code for bootloader unlock directly from Huawei no issues, although i will not be using straight away i have kept it in a safe place.

I tried through their portal, and via email. This was their response:
We do apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing, however, it is our duty to inform you that Huawei Canada does not provide codes to unlock the bootloader, root the device or provides any tool/code to modify the phone internally. We kindly inform you that this action can potentially "brick" the phone or in other words, renders the phone completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have no control over how unlocking the bootloader or rooting the phone, will affect your device.
We understand that you might be able to start the request to get the bootloader unlock code from our EMUI website, regrettably, your device does not qualify to receive this code, since the Huawei Canada warranty policy limits us to do not provide this code in order to prevent future inconveniences to our consumers.
This bootloader unlocks code, it is just limited to be available for certain specific regions.
We are aware that you can find unofficial information over the internet, about how to root or unlock your phone and due to our Security and Privacy Policies, we cannot provide you these codes or tools, for that reason, we cannot assist you in that matter.
We highly recommend you refrain from taking these actions on your device.

I read the instructions for unlock of Huawei mobile, it requires you erase the Huawei id.
How does that affect warranty?
Can you reapply the old id if necessary?

No, you can't. DC-Unlocker neither autodetects the phone nor is it in the manual selection list. Also https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones says no bootloader unlocking service for said phone.
On the other hand Huawei support gave me this reply (translated by me) :
Hello [censored],
sadly the bootloader unlock code service has been terminated completely. I'm really sorry but I can't help you.
Best wishes,

So there is currently no way to unlock the Honor 9 lite, right?

Not true !
https://hcu-client.com/supported-models.php
HCU will read the bootloader code easily (at a price) :-

Read instructions carefully and follow them EXACTLY !
HCU is from the same stable as DC-Unlocker.

Thanks for this, it appears to be the only bootloader unlock method currently available. Have you actually done this yourself? Can you (or anyone else) confirm that it works?
By the "instructions", I assume you mean the tutorial at http://hcu-client.com/read-bootloader-code-huawei-phone/. They seem clear, but they don't tell you how to actually use the code to unlock the bootloader! Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that? Thank you.

Yep, I mean the tutorial.
I have used this method a good few times, all successfully .
Dc-Unlocker/HCU allows direct unlock on a lot of models and gives the unlock code on others.
To use this code, put phone in "fastboot" mode and issue the command :-
fastboot oem unlock code
Phone should factory re-set (erasing all user data) with an unlocked bootloader.

I can confirm. There's just one thing to note: Deinstall the adb drivers from Microsoft and use the ones shipped with HiSuite. Else there will be no virtual COM port and as a result the tool won't find the phone. [EDIT]And don't try to use the tool in a VM. Sadly it refuses to work there.[/EDIT]
Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that?

1) Enable Settings > Developer Options > Enable OEM Unlock
2) Enable Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
3) Turn off phone
4) Press volume down key while connecting the phone to USB to boot the phone into fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot oem unlock <unlocking code>" on the PC the phone is connected to (install adb and fastboot first)
P.S. Many thanks to @Sparkrite for pointing us in the right direction!

Great, thank you! It's reassuring to know it works reliably. And I'm glad the unlocking process itself is so simple; I remember now having used the same method on another phone some time ago.

Thank you so much. With this method I successfully unlocked the bootloader of my Huawei Honor 9 Lite. No problems, just one oddity – the HCU software warns you that reading the bootloader unlock code will wipe your phone, and you have to acknowledge that to continue. This, of course, is not the case: it is using the code to unlock the bootloader that causes the phone to do a low-level reset. Presumably a mistake in the wording.

I used HCU to read the bootloader unlock code before I saw your message, and so had not uninstalled the Microsoft ADB drivers. I had already installed HiSuite. It still worked for me, so presumably it is not necessary to uninstall the Microsoft ADB drivers unless HCU doesn't recognize the phone.

Any news?
Many thanks to those who contributed to this thread. I had no trouble unlocking the bootloader of my device using HCU after purchasing credit from DC-unlocker. At only 4 euros it was worth the money. The posted instructions were clear. Once HCU provided the code all I had to do was send it to the phone using fastboot..
hello
i want to unlocked n7+ bootloader
i have try many of thing but cant done
so plz provide better way to unlocked
i need just root the phone not interest install other os in phone
and one more thin that i have got nokia developer bootloder unlock done via nokia is it good to unlock with him
.
thanx
Nokia has NOT provided any means of unlocking bootloader of N7+, hence to root is NO go. Another path to achieve your goals is by means of 3rd party procedures, which requires you to dig into your pocket. Google is your friend.

Hello, I wanted to ask if there are any options to unlock the bootloader on redmi 4x in an unofficial way?
if you can give a link
Forgive me if something is not clear to you, I am just Russian myself and it is not easy for me to write in English
Yes, there is way but i could not find that link it was on MIUI forum, probably it is removed.
However you may try searching some method on YouTube, there is some possibility that there is might be some video still available.
Have you tried unlocking official way?
Hi there, I'm here asking the same question. Is there any way to unlock xiaomi 4x without permission in xiaomi account?
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but the problem is still relevant even today.
Does anyone know something about this unofficial unlocking method? I couldn't find it anywhere and the official methods didn't work for me, since I can't get past SIM activation for the account.
i looking for unofficial unlock to my phone is locked on prev owner email ( he sell it as parts bcs his screen has broken) and now he don't remember or want to give me his password to unlock it

I think you have mistaken unlocking the bootloader for unlocking the phone for access. What you want is more easily achievable, you can simply flash the stock rom using edl mode. There are plenty of tutorials for that if you search for these terms.

In that case, you need to do it in 2 steps. First, flash the stock rom using edl mode, so you can access the system without needing the original owner's email. Then you register a new account for you and do the official bootloader unlocking procedures. I hope it works for you, because I'm still stuck without being able to register my sim card for the official unlocking method.
Hello Everyone,
I have been using Oneplus phones from a long time and I found it pretty straight forward to just do "fastboot oem unlock" and you are good to go.
Now from what I understand, in case of realme, you have to sideload an realme provided apk and request for In-Depth test which if approved, you'll be allowed unlock your bootloader. I think they (realme) are pushing our serial number and carrier info to their servers to see if you should be allowed to unlock bootloader.
I do not plan to unlock my bootloader right now but I am concerned if realme's servers went down in future or if they stopped providing support for our device in coming year, how would I unlock my device ?
Can I initiate In-Depth test now and actually unlock bootloader later ?
i did it, you never know it might vanish and if you procrastinate, and option vanishes you will kick yourself research for yourself but this thread claims you can re-lock so read it CAREFULLY https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/guide-unlocking-bootloader-to-getting-t4010189
fears kill dreams!
who knows what happend to realme or oppo in future or their servers!
X2PRO is 4g device, maximum we may use for next 24-36 months before going to 5g or different device!
i immediately unlock the bootloader, (got approval in 5 mins)
yes you can relock but i don't plan to, (but thats me)
moreover same goes xiaomi, sony also! (the server thing) they monitor what devices are getting unlocked!
Thanks for your replies guys. I understand that I should unlock while I can.
Point is I don't want to do it right now because I am somewhat satisfied with what RUI has to offer. Plus I don't want that safety net headache right now.
I want the option to unlock later lets say when Realme X2 Pro's update support ends and I want to flash Android 12 (when it comes)
My question is, if I get approval and not unlock it, will this approval be retained even after updates and system wipes ? So that I can unlock it later without approval

You can just unlock the bootloader and keep everything stock unrooted. That's what I first did back when I got the phone. There's no harm, other than losing widevine L1, I think.
Got it, thanks.
My original question remains unanswered though.
I'm decompiling realme's in-depth apk to understand what it does when you are approved for bootloader unlock. Will update here if I find anything interesting
if you want to go to android 12 later just follow that thread i showed and relock it and go stock and update

I created this topic because I can't find a way to unlock the bootloader of my Asus Rog Phone 3. Regarding whether or not I unlocked it before, I would think not, since it was a high-end phone, when I bought it, it did not cross my mind unlock bootloader, root, install GSI roms, among others.
My Rog Phone 3 had Android 12 installed, I tried to Downgrade to Android 11, Downgrade to Android 10, and then use the Asus Original Unlock tool (using all its versions) without favorable results to unlock bootloader.
I also tried EDL Unbrick, although I don't know if there is any tool to unlock bootloader with EDL, tools, anyway, I open this question to see if there is any way today to unlock the bootloader of my Asus Rog Phone 3 (it has 12GB of RAM, It is optional, just in case.) Someone who can help me or access me, I would be very grateful, excuse my English. My goal is to unlock bootloader to root it and then install GSI roms, especially install GSI roms ..
