Hi, I'm interested on enabling VoLTE option. I had a samsung s8 with VoLTE enabled because i bought the phone from my carrier.

For phones bought away, VoLTE can't be enabled with my carrier (they surely add some settings with their phones).

Do you think if i root my mate 10, VolTE will work ?

If you think it will, do you have a tutorial link to do so ?

Thank you.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] okizen:
Does this method apply to both Chinese and international Mate 10s (excluding Mate 10 Lite and Pro)? I have the ALP-AL00 model with 6GB ram + 128gb rom.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
You need to add your carrier MCC & MNC into the whitelist in the attached vendor.xml

Like, example (my carrier is 510 09):

<carrier_config mcc="510" mnc="09">

<boolean name="carrier_volte_available_bool" value="true" />

</carrier_config>

And copy that file to /version/special_cust/ALP-L29/hw/spcseas/xml

Model number and folder trunk might be differ though

This will bring back VoLTE option on your setting,

But you still need your carrier to fully support it
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
This guide is universal through all Mate 10 family, except lite (which is not a mate 10 to begin with, thats originally maimang 6)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] okizen:
Ok good to know. Thanks otonieru
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I have more than 10 users who have contacted me, having bricked their phone due to playing with root (many of them disabled/deleted system apps).

For this reason, I feel like I have some responsibility for having released the root tool, and it feels very bad for me when this happens!

Another warning to everyone, please be careful! Do not touch system apps! Don't delete anything or change anything with root, unless you're sure it's safe to do so! Don't root unless you *REALLY* need to! It is not easy to recover! You could lose your expensive device!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] rukawa84:
Thanks for your answer.

My carrier supports VoLTE but only for samsung and apple devices bought from them.

I guess even if i enables the option it won't be enough.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] VTEChump:
So what is the best way to update to a new firmware if you currently have root, and want root on the new firmware?

-Take the OTA, and then re-root with FunkyHuawei tool?

-Reset to factory, take the OTA, than re-root with your tool?

-Other?

Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Take the OTA then re-root.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
Backup with Backup Tool to MicroSD

Update via OTA updater

Re-Root

Restore Backup

Profit
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] VTEChump:
Will OTA wipe/erase data?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
Its not your reponsibility [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION]

Just like its not chainfire or topjohnwu responsibility for releasing supersu and magisk,

People need to learn to know what they are doing, not cluelessly moving this, delete this and that, and do other stuff without doing research,

by facing problem, people will learn, and thats one of the best way to learn something in this android community,

So dont feel bad for it,

Good medicine never taste good :svetius:

Your work is one of the best thing ever happen for Mate 10, since i wont even buy this phone if your tool doesnt exist to begin with :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Not sure. I don't play around with root because I can't afford more bricked devices.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
No,

But re-rooting will

Thats why am kinda hoping we can get a working TWRP soon,

So we can simply reflashing su or magisk on top of OTA without losing data,

Although, keeping data and doing mod is two contradictory things to begin with

If you want stability, better stay stock :)

I wrote to : mobile.uk@mail01.huawei.com

they said :

"In response to your enquiry, we would like to inform you that the unlock code application service has ended, as of July 25th 2018, to ensure user experience and safety. Moreover, unlocking the bootloader of a device voids the warranty and it wasn’t recommended since it was the source of multiple software issues due to unauthorized software modifications.

Huawei used to provide users with corresponding unlock codes to meet personalized requirements due to the usage of different ROMs, which is an extra service and does not belong to consumers' rights.

However, due to possible problems caused by unlocking your device (such as system built-in function failure, device freezing, and power consumption increase) we will no longer provide the code under any circumstance. "

Any other way to unlock freely ?

Tk's
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Nope...

No, there is no other free way to unlock the bootloader, I guess too many phones were getting bricked by people unlocking their phones and messing around with stuff they didn't know anything about, who knows how many bricked phones Huawei replaced under warranty (kind of hard to tell you unlocked it if it won't even go into fastboot) before they got wise to it and just stopped it for good. There are a couple of paid ways, too expensive for me and I hear the US version bricks really easy so I'm not messing with it on my mate 10 pro

Help

bro how did u unlocked it via dc unlocker. unlocking my mate10lite bootloader is the only way to fix it.. its hard bricked. can u help me please
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ej8989:
My phone wasn't bricked so I followed their instructions from the app. They can't read your bootloader unlock code if your phone is bricked.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] phr00t:
Do you need a specific firmware to ensure DC unlocker works...? Did you just get lucky? Unsure on how reliable DC unlocker will be before purchasing this phone...
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ej8989:
When I purchased my Mate 10 it was on system version 8.0.0.131. I purchased the $4 dc unlock option and immediately got my bootloader unlock code thru email. I was told that on newer system versions, you will have to pay $29+ for the unlock code because of the different (IMEI) method.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] phr00t:
Did you have to provide information specific to your phone to get the unlock code? If you got it immediately otherwise, would that code work on other Mate 10s?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ej8989:
You will have to download an app that will automatically fetch your phone's info.

The bootloader unlock code is unique to each phone.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] STEELBAS:
So does it work, the IMEI unlock code method? Any success stories there? I would consider paying 29$ to unlock my bootloader. (Even though I paid for this phone and it is my property already. Man, I hate having to pay extra in order to be able to do what I want on my own device...)

Hi all,

I have two (2) new Mate 10 Pro's. Both Android Version 8.0.0

Can't get a code read.

Have tried HCU and DC Unlocker. Have credit (4). Have tried Win10 and Win7

Result as follows from DC Unlocker:

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Maor545:
My ALP-L29 device can be downgraded with HiSuite to ROM 8.0.0.143(C636)

Unfortunately DC-Unlocker app cannot read the bootloader. Currently to my research only way to get the unlock code is DC-unlocker (there is also cracked version 1422 on the internet, which should support MATE 10 according to release notes)

I have tried downgrading to different older ROMS with dload on SDcard, but the update always fails. I conclude, that the bootloader can not be downgraded by dload or erecovery.

I am waiting for a reply from paid unlocking providers, whether they can unlock the phone

Tried that, sadly same situation as with any other site - no way of getting the codes. At least they offer you option of getting the code by opening device and connecting via testpoint ?

Idk how I feel about that, without making a custom mold of the device that can be used during resealing process, you end up with a no warranty, no water resistance device. I'll check with local service centers and see if any would dabble with disassembled device and seal it for you.

Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L29 Bootloader Code Service (ALP-L09/AL00/TL00 Supported)

Huawei Mate 10 is one of the most powerful phones released in 2017. To this date, after 3 years phone is still receiving updates from Huawei. However, bootloader codes are not available anymore. Huawei decided to stop providing bootloader unlock codes earlier in July 2018. Since then users have...

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Maveric-Romeo:
I know it isn't free. I just want to know if the bootloader will remain unlocked if I update to EMUI 10 or 12?

The reason I want to unlock the bootloader is to install GSI roms. Both to make the phone compatible with apps for years to come, but also to stop/minimize the risk of Chinese spying. My guess is that Huawei stopped the unlocking support because of the Chinese law that came in to effect right before they shut down unlocking.

What are the benefits of rooting?

The reason I was thinking of rooting my Mate 10 was to be able to save photos and videos taken on my device and from Gallery and WhatsApp directly to the sd card.

Am I correct?

Sorry for the questions but I'm new to the Mate 10. (I also don't want to brick it.)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
There's no point in unlocking the bootloader if you are not planning to root or install custom recovery later on,

Advantages of unlocking bootloader is of course to enable us to flash/write something into the phone partition other than userdata, but other advantages only come from further mod after rooting

As for using sdcard as internal storage, i think we gonna need further dev on that, at least maybe a custom recovery first,

But i wont suggest that though, it will only decrease your device performance, since there would be a huge speed gap between UFS storage and MicroSD (800Mb/s vs 80Mb/s), not to mention a high risk of bricking

MicroSD still can be used to store all image taken by camera, and other downloaded media. So i see no benefit in using it as main storage (merged)

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nomipakistanli:
He is right :( :( :(

YES YES YES! DONT ROOT THE DEVICE!!

i bricked my phone in 2 days. what i did was

unlocked the bootloader with DC UNLOCKER

rooted with FHTOOL

froze the UPDATER APP because it updates the system and i lose root

all was good untill then AND

the last day i saw the BEAUTIFUL FACE OF MY PHONE last time....

was when removed the Hivoice system app while i was trying to replace it with GOOGLE NOW.

the device got ****ed and bricked. then i did the following:

factory reset NOT HELPED clean cache NOT HELPED download and install rom with eRecovery SOFTWARE INFORMATION FAILED (maybe because i removed the updater file? but i formated the device and factory reset.. still NOT HELPED) downloaded the factory rom from chinese websites for my ALP-AL00 stuck at 5% and then failed. NOT HELPED. tried to reroot as the bootloader was unlocked. it says bootloader is LOCKED despite it showed warning in the beginning.NO HELPED. tried to lock the bootloader with SUCEEDED. but unlock the boot loader REMOTE ACCESS ERROR. i opened the box of my 700USD expensive device and put it back. a ****ed up phone, a ****ed up head and wasted money with wasted days. what a waste.
