Unlocking bootloader - Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers

Hello
Recently I've got a Huawei P smart (model FIG-LX1, build number 8.0.0.122(C432), serial number XEDDU18307003822). All guides for root require unlocking the bootloader. With the unlock site taken down, I've tried to contact Huawei support via email. The result is as follows:
Dear Sir / Madam,
Thank you for contacting HUAWEI. I am Stamatios
from Greek / Cypriot Customer Center.
We would like to inform you that we can not intervene on bootloader code procedure. The request of bootloader code had been
performed since yesterday through www.emui.com page, in "Unlock" tag option. If you tried on this platform but you got an error
or unavailability message then your device does not support bootloader code. As from today, there is not an option for the creation
or request of bootloader code.

They said an unlock code was already requested from their website - the same website that was taken down with no explanation. Is there any way to root this phone without unblocking bootloader? And if no is there a way to unlock it?(that dosen't use shady programs like dc unlocker)

Huawei stopped providing the unlock code. sadly it can no longer be done from your page. I do not know if there are other methods.

Unlocked today Smart P easy with DC unlocker, for 5$. DC unlocker just read my bootloader key, and I unlocked it with regular procedure.

Unfortunately, this is currently the only method of unlocking the bootloader.
Special thanks goes for Huawei for paying $ 5, for something that was once free.

Just to update folks who see this DC unlocker does not unlock bootloader if you are running Android 8 like me. If you have paid they will refund. As they just did for me.

..

I have some concerns...I am considering picking up a P Smart from Amazon. In the reviews someone posted that the Amazon version is model LX3. All comments in this forum about unlocking and TWRP seem to refer to model LX1. Does it matter if the version I get is LX3? Also, will DC Unlocker work for the bootloader. Spec-wise, everything about this phone is what meets my criteria...except for possibly not being able to unlock the bootloader and rooting. I have rooted every phone I have owned am not sure I would be satisifed without root.
Advice?
Thanks!

how to ? please

..

what this tread needs is to be separated in a tutorial and a unlock by huwaei issues

New free metod ulock appeared lx-1 8.0.0.133(c10)?

sun75 said:
I was on Android 8 also, and I unlocked it with no problems at all in minutes with DC-Unlocker. You have to "read" the boot code with the client (after paying, instructions on their website) and unlock it with few adb commands! Nothing else!
Please refer to:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77841384&postcount=3
By the way, they recognize and support LX1 in fastboot mode only!

Help unlocking T-Mobile Galaxy S8

Hi i'm from the Philippines, i bought my phone from amazon. Is it possible to unlock this even it is not connected with T-Mobile network?
I hope it is possible
Btw
Is this legit?
https://www.facebook.com/gsmserviceremote/
http://www.simunlockremote.com
Anyone?
On which T-Mobile network is your phone locked? If it's locked to any T-Mobile network from Europe, then you just need to unlock by inserting the unlocking codes.
As you mention you bought your phone from Amazon, I presume it Amazon US and your phone is locked to T-Mobile USA. In this case, your device can be unlocked only through the Device Unlock App, and in this case, you will need a T-Mobile SIM card inserted in your phone whilst performing the unlocking process.
Here is a simple guide that shows what I said above, that you might need a T-Mobile SIM or not, depending on the message your phone displays: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/network-locked-t-mobile-usa/

My phone is not asking an unlock but it has a Device Unlock App.
I have inserted a T-Mobile SIM but i think is it not connected with T-Mobile Network (cause i live here in the philippines).
When i am trying to unlock my phone using the app, it will say that my device is not eligible.
The guide here https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/network-locked-t-mobile-usa/ says that "device’s IMEI will need to be registered as Unlocked/Eligible". - Do you have an idea on registering the IMEI?
Thank you.
Registering the device IMEI as unlocked is the step that needs to be taken only after the message displayed when inserting the SIM shows: "Device is eligible...".
Unfortunately, if your phone displays the message that is not eligible, you can't unlock it with the device unlock app. In this case, I think your only option is to root it and change the firmware. If you can't connect to T-Mobile USA, you can't use the unlock app.

Can you help me with Sim unlocking my tmo lg v30?
Hi mate..
I unlocked my LG G6 TMO using Z3x dongle. For this to be succeeded your G6 needs to be rooted and on 11g firmware. Once you unlock it, you can update your fw to 20a (oreo) using TWRP and your phone will still remain unlock for all network. You can find some reference by googling with keyword "H872 unlock z3x". Hv a nice unlocking mate. Cheers.

Unfortunately, you can't unlock it anymore. We need to wait for Huawei to change its mind (unlikely) or our developers to come up with an idea how to unlock it.
Both options require waiting...
Any news?
you may try with DC unlocker, which will fund 4€ for an bootloader unlock code. then you may follow th usual unlock procedure via ADB
Hello dears,
I've been looking for a new P10 plus, but I won't buy it if there is no option for bootoader unlocking.
I've been accross this one:
Code:
http:--huaweiadvices.com/unlock-bootloader-huawei-p10
,
where it mentions this one:
Code:
http:--hwid5.vmall.com/CAS/portal/userRegister/regbyemail.html
Is there anyone with any experience on this?
Do you know if the Xiaomi's are unlocked?
Well, I did pay a visit to hwid5.vmall.com, no unlock codes provided there.
Do you think it will work from hardreset24.com/instruction/how-to-get-password-for-unlocking-bootloader-in-huawei-p9-plus-only-by-imei or from global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below or dc-unlocker.com?
After the unlock code is inserted, can we flash any ROM, firmware, kernels, etc? Does it stay unlocked?
I did unlock VKY-L29 using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/how-to/unlock-bootloader-code-t3859685
It's not oneclick job and took me several evenings to unlock, but it's free and it works. The problem is that you need to get a unique slock file and then again you'll need edit nvme file (or gently ask someone who understands). There are very nice support if you're not pushing them to do magic for you.
All in all, i have unlocked device for several months and now i use OpenKirin Pie.
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I'll give it a shot when it comes!

[Question] About Bootloader, Root and Custom Rom

Hi all unfortunately i recently came to know about Huawei sacking the request for unlocking codes in June 2018. I tried an email request to get an unlock code but they denied(their reply in attachment) saying about costumer support and other support related stuff(like they provide any in Pakistan ).
So basically my question is how would i root my Mate 10 Lite and have a custom rom on it. I tried unlocking through dc unlocker by buying some credits but the payment method isnt supported in here(Pakistan). So how can i do one of the following?
1. Unlock a bootloader that is free or supported in Pakistan(paid)
2. Root or flash a custom rom without unlocking bootloader.

Pakistan, eh? Me too. Go to the nearest service center and and demand your unlock code. Of Nothing then use your credit card to buy credit for DC Phoenix. Also, Don't expect a bunch of ROMs.

if you are still feeling unlucky just like i did a few hours ago. I came across this guy (a paid service) to get my bootloader unlock after so many attempts and desperate searches.
his website is ministryofsolutions.com he is a pakistani guy and totally legit. He charges Rs. 560 via jazzcash and gave me my bootloader unlock via teamviewer i just unlocked it and rooted and custom romed it.
FINALLY !!!

I would nice if someone made this

Itz not working app crashing literally everytime
Screenshot
What happened in the process since you opened the webpage?
Is there any command? Is it requiring you to install an apps or something?
Is it "OEM Unlocking" menu on developer options turn to live so can be disabled or enabled?
They ask for email id and pass code
Pass code we get from the hmd boot loader app and app is crashing while asking to confirm bootloader unlock
Nokia doesn't allow to unlock our bootloader officially..
That's why app keeps crashes
https://www.techmesto.com/guide-unlock-bootloader-nokia-android-phones/
Check this link, Its paid but.
There should another way or something to bypass and.unlock
There is no point in having many good roms when u can't use it

Adding to this point, the HMD app pointed out will only work for Nokia 8:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...-announces-bootloader-unlock-program-nokia-8/
Hopefully, they will open up the program for more devices.
Nokia had blocked the unlock process last August due to a security threat: https://www.xda-developers.com/augu...nes-blocks-the-only-bootloader-unlock-method/
There's already another thread on this forum which guides you to unlock the bootloader by first downgrading back to the firmware before this August update
It's a reliable service. This is the only way to unlock bootloader currently. I can recommend this..
My Nokia 6.1 plus stuck on androidone download mode
Please help me
How do the paid services generate the unlock codes with IMEI and Serial number?
Any luck with getting bootloader unlocked using their unlock keys, Any experiences with these?
Is it possible to unlock without using these 3rd party services, Are there any algorithms for this. Its been more than a year since its release and still no reliable method to unlock these phones after the security update.
Is it possible to unlock bootloader after downgrading to Oreo, does this require any unlock codes.

Title says it all. I'm just curious if it's possible.

What? Im assuming over asked question?
I mainly ask because at one point there was a way around it with the one plus 6t. So i wasn't sure if there was a way currently with the 7T Pro.
Far as I know there has not been a guild without it
Short answer: no. Unlock code is needed and MSM Tool can only flash T-Mobile software now.
After the device is paid off AND been on the network for 40 days THEN you can get an unlock code
EVEN if the device isn't from the original owner AND YES: it HAS to be registered on a POST PAID account for 40 days for this to work, prepaid has different LONGER rules and I forgot them.
So how do you get an unlock code?
And to clarify a SIM unlock code not token from oneplus. I know how to do the latter.

Both incorrect. Apparently no one can read the title of threads in our subforums before either asking questions or answering them incorrectly.
@15jpenni
A hacked MSM version was made that allows you to unlock the bootloader and therefore root your phone with Magisk. It won't, however, carrier unlock the phone from T-Mobile vs. if you properly unlock the phone through T-Mobile as the official method that @RypeDub mentioned. Try reading the thread and see how u can do it unofficially:

Here is a patched MSM download tool for TMobile OP7T Pro 5G McLaren. It will bypass the need to sim unlock before unlocking the bootloader, and will also bypass the need of an unlock token file from OnePlus (hence skip the wait period of 1 week...
