Hi, I need to send my p smart to huawei service due to battery problems.
My phone is rooted with bl unlocked and, it seems, my warranty is void.
If I remove root and relock my bl, my phone will be accepted regardless of the rooting?
Unfortunately no, because the bootloader status is RElock, not lock. Lock bootloader with DC Unlocker, because the program lock bootloader and change status to lock with 4 euro
Ok thanks, that actually seemed the only way.
If I use dc unlock to lock the bl, do you know if it makes my unlock code unusable for a future unlock and root? I mean, if I want to root my phone again, can I use the standard procedure (using my unlock code, twrp and so on) or do I have to use necessarily DC unlock?

I've learnt about veeeery easy way to obtain an unlock code without need to contact Huawei.
1. First of all you have to be rooted (via Kingroot or 360 root). Kingroot worked well for me.
2. You have to install HonorTuner (attached).
3. Launch HonorTuner, go to Hardware Info and check out numbers in WVLOCK. This is your unlock code!
People say it works. As for me I didn't unlock my bootloader yet, so I can't confirm. It would be nice if anyone with unlocked bootloader with unlock code from Huawei could check and say whether WVLOCK and Huawei unlock code are the same.
I don't understand the point of this! If this tool is only going to show the unlock code of that phone on which it is installed, how is it useful to others? Let's just say that my phone is rooted and I install this tool HonorTuner on my phone and I tell you that yes, the unlock code that it shows (for my phone) is the same as the one that I got from Huawei, how would it help to get the unlock code of YOUR device?
Unlocking bootloader is normally the first step before rooting so is there any point to this?
Or can you properly root it without unlocking the bootloader?
I personally wouldn't want my phone rooted without a custom recovery to back it up before changes so you should still unlock the bootloader first.

This is for people that want to unlock their bootloader but don't want to spend days and days waiting for huawei to send their unlock codes. Just root with kingroot, and install the app.
PD: I also confirm it works

Thanks man, this saved my life and my h*as !!!
My Mate 7 was stack in bootloop at Huawei logo, due to a wrond (bul****) procedure I fount and followed on the web.
Recovery was lost and bootloader was FAULTY unlocked (it really was still locked)
I rooted the phone, installed your APK and then obtained the BL unlock code.
Then everithing was easy and the Mate returned alive.
Therefore thanks for your suggestion and to have saved my Mate 7 life !!!
Cheres !!!

Some Huawei ROMs have the tendency to re-lock the bootloader after a while, has happened to mine a few times already.

Hi Guys
I have 3 questions regarding Moto X Style Bootloader unlocking.
Can we unlock the Moto X Style bootloader after locking it after first unlock?
Can this process be repeated multiple times if we need to?
Can we use the same unique unlock key that we received while unlocking the bootloader for the first time?
Thank you
Why would you want to do this?

Yes you can do it as many times as you want but 1: Why would you relock afterwards 2: You will have to deal with a factory reset every time
PS: I dont know about the unlock key but most likely you can use the same
Is there any way to remove the Bootloader unlock warning ⚠ without relocking bootloader?

Theres no reason really to relock it. Once its unlocked, the bootloader will show that it was unlocked regardless if you relock it.

Thanks for your reply.
The reason for attempting to re-lock bootloader is to get the OTA update from Motorola till date, especially Reliance Jio VoLTE support...But if I wish to make any further changes to my phone with any custom rom I should be able to do it by unlocking the bootloader again.
Thanks

You don't have to lock the bootloader to take an OTA. You just need to be in a completely unmodified stock state: stock recovery, unmodified system, no root, etc. Bootloader can be unlocked.

I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery and rooted. If I unroot and flash stock recovery, I will be able to get OTA? Do I need to take care of anything else?

That might work. Frankly I'm not sure. I haven't actually taken successfully an OTA on any phone since sometime in 2013 honestly.
I once flashed this phone totally back to stock. Every partition but logo, and it failed to take an OTA. I don't know if it failed because I had a modified logo, or maybe I had mounted system r/w. Not sure.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on this topic will chime in.

The answer is maybe... it depends what you have changed and what this OTA updater script actually checks for.
We know that a stock bootloader (which can be unlocked, that is not relevant), stock recovery, and stock system image are required to take an OTA. If the system image has been modified it can fail, and we know the updater has the ability to see if /system has EVER been mounted R/W and can fail for that condition although so far it doesn't seem Moto is going that extreme.
We do know a modified logo does not affect an OTA, in fact, you can even relock the bootloader with a modified logo so it must not be a significant check.

On my father's moto e lte I received OTA without issue with unlocked bootloader, I just flashed stock image and it was ready to update, btw I'm not sure but I've seen somewhere info that you can change bootlogo even with locked bootloader so I don't think that's the issue.
Btw after you once unlock bootloader you won't be able to truly lock it again, next time you will be able to unlock it without any code so you lose some security in this process, frp won't be working anymore.

You still need code to unlock each time, but it's the same code, and if you relock OEM Unlocking gets turned off and you would have to turn it on again... So if something fails on the first boot after relocking, your f*cked, no way to unlock.
And FRP definitely works if the bootloader is unlocked, it is just much easier to bypass.

You're right sorry
i used the code from motorolla to unlock it...but i'm curious, if i lock the bootloader would i be unable to unlock it again?
would i need to use the unlock code again? or would a simple "fastboot oem unlock" work?
I've wondered that question myself for awhile now. Maybe someone can jump in and help us. Also if I flash bootloader update does it need a new code.
The S8 (G950F) I own came with unlocked bootloader, is there a way to relock it with out the unlock code?

Why would you want to relock it? But if you wish to do so, you'll need to firstly enable developer options, once done go to settings then developer options, then you will see oem unlock, if that switch is to the right then boot loader is unlocked, to relock bootloader just press and move so that switch is to th3 left

You're mixing up two different things, oem unlock that unlocks the bootloader is disabled on the g950f, you have to enabled it yourself. The unlock code is for carrier locks, totally different thing. You might as well root it now and use magisk to hide root from netflix.

That happens when you have root, nothing to with unlocked bootloader

That's the thing, I wasn't rooted but I had unlocked bootloader and it wasn't working.
Now that I've rooted it using Magisk, the device is "certified"
Hey, experts! I have a question. Can I keep the ROOT and LOCK BOOTLOADER?
What I want to do with my phone is,
• Unlock Bootloader
• Revert to Oreo(I'll upgrade later, my phone has some software issues)
• Root
• Lock Bootloader
It's this possible?? Because, techmesto, narender Singh claimed that, looking Bootloader after rooting results in bricking up the phone.
Absolutely don't lock it. He's probably right. Just about everything sends this phone into a bootloop, so yeah, it will probably brick it. Even if it boots, OTA will also almost certainly be broken. You'll have to pay to get it unlocked again.
