Could be possible. DC-Unlocked only provides numeric codes, so far I researched in other threads. I can check it with my mate 10 pro which has a Huawei unlock code. 4€ shouldn't be the problem to use DC and check the connection between the code from Huawei and DC. Will report later, when I'm at home.

I get unkown error 375 when reading the bootloader code.

I am on SHT-AL09 8.0.0172 (C432).

Is this perhaps a version that has closed the backdoor that DC-Unlocker uses?

Edit: According to DC-Unlocked it is. But the question is, how do I downgrade to an earlier firmware?

Hi guys,

I just started with this guide and do not find out what to choose in dc-unlocker when I intend to buy credits (look at the attached pic!)

Ah, I got it to work, however it seems dc-unlocker is currently not supporting Mediapad M5 PRO (8.0.0.172), I get an unknown error (375) which is, according to dc-unlocker forum incompatiblity...

Is there any way to get the bootloader open or do a downgrade with closed BL?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] kev1807:
I just started to downgrade - when entering download-mode is it okay that "Software install failed!" ?

Okay,opened Bootloader --> it boots :D damn, I'm getting too old for that :-/

Can you explain what you did to get an unlocked bootloader on 172 firmware? I had the same issues, see https://xdaforums.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/how-to-downgrade-firmware-t3856385, and I haven't found a solution yet.

I just want to confirm before buying one of these tablets - does this process still work even though Huawei stopped giving out unlock codes a few months ago?

Thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flavio:
DC-Unlocker is supposed to still work if you are not on B172 or higher firmware.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] konradsa:
And even the higher versions you can still downgrade right now to a version you can unlock. Here some instructions (in German): https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-das-huawei-mediapad-m5-10-8.3359/root-fuer-huawei-mediapad-m5-ab-08-2018.892304.html

It worked with an CMR-W09 Wifi device.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
So you successfully downgraded with DLOAD. But with a LOCKED bootloader BEFORE the dload process started ?

So fom which CMR-W09CxxByy to which CMR-W09CXXBYY did you downgraded with a locked bootloader?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] bombername:
First i downgraded the firmware from oreo .181 to oreo .168 with the dload trick.

Than it was possible to open the bottloader with dc-unlocker and 4 bugs.

than i installed magisk.

After all the system found an update for oreo .181 and installed it.

All fine.

Downgrade from "SHT-W09 8.0.0.185" to "SHT-W09 8.0.0.163" - always C432 (Europe)

Used dc-unlocker to read the bootloader code

Unlocked the bootloader with the code provided in the prevous step

Anyone got lucky with the european MediaPad M5 10 CMR-W09 (wifi)? Mine is 8.0.0.187, tried downgrading to 8.0.0.168, ended up with a software update error.

[MENTION=6584219]bombername[/MENTION] claims he downgraded his locked bootloader's CMR from CMR-W09CXXXB181 to B168 via dload.

Maybe try with the same dload archive he used, if he's also C432 ; Then report.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] bombername:
Here my files / CMR-W09432 Europe:

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] FlipmodeBG:
That did it!

First I downgraded to 181, just to be safe. Then downgraded to 168. Used DC-Unlocker (4 credits) and now I have unlocked bootloader.

Thank you very much!
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
How did you do it with dload? Should i unzip the file and put it on internalstorage/dload/HERE? I have too cmr w09 European m5
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] FlipmodeBG:
use the files [MENTION=6584219]bombername[/MENTION] provided. 168 is needed to properly read bootloader code with dc-unlocker.

the archive has the dload folder inside along with the required files and the correct structure

extract the whole /dload/ folder into the ROOT of your EXTERNAL SD card, not internal storage

open stock calculator app in landscape mode and type ()()2846579()()

in the menu, go to software update > sdcard update and wait for reboot
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I did it, thank you, :o now I'm playing on WHAFF to get 11 dollar on my PayPal account:( to be able to use dc unlocker
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] kev1807:
Not sure whether you're rude/sarcastic or just stunned ...

This guide is more or less a community effort of Pianoralf,JamesBott and myself (I was the one asking stupid questiond and subsequently composing the guide ...) over there (I think I read JamesBott on xda as well ...). As I was the one doing all the testing and suffering, I wrote it. Why would it be something different if it was not "one guy's first guide"? Didn't we all start as "one guy" with a "first guide"?

I am afraid, I do not have any screenshots but those in the post on android-hilfe.de

Apparently it doesn't work for the Mediapad M5 lite, but for the "original models", I think it worked.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
A bit off topic, but does anyone know of a solution for restoring the stock calculator app without doing a system restore? I tried an apk install of supposedly "stock" calculator but it would not install. Questionable if it would have functioned properly anyway.

I have the SHT-W09 8.0.0.173(C567) M5 and am hoping to downgrade and use dc-unlocker.

Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
I'm sceptic or at least I was.

You now proved me wrong :

dload downgrades on locked bootloader are in fact possibles.

Now I wonder if this downgrade ability is devices specific or it worked because of the dload archives used...

It's really nice dload downgrades are working for SHT and CMR locked devices.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] pazzu:
I am having much difficulties trying to downgrade my SHT-W09 (C00). It's currently running 8.0.0.185

* I downloaded the firmware (e.g. SHT-AL09C00B125 / 8.0.0.125) off this site http://huawei-firmware.com/?load_page=search&q=mediapad+m5&page=1

* From the update.zip, I extracted the UPDATE.APP and put it in the SDCard /dload/UPDATE.APP, and trigger a software upgrade.

The EMUI would attempt the upgrade and it would fail after 5%.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
Just a thought, I think /dload/UPDATE.APP has to be on *external* SD, if you haven't tried that.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] pazzu:
Yep, I did use an external SD card, and it stopped updating after 5%.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
Hmm, I was hoping you had messed up ? because I dl'd from the link you gave [thanks, btw] for my SHT-W09 8.0.0.173(C567) and am planning on trying downgrade to build 167. Seems that trying and failing didn't hurt your M5, so that gives me encouragement to take the plunge.

Build 167 is supported by dc-unlocker, right? Says in earlier post that it has to be 168 or lower, so I think I'm good.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] pazzu:
On DC-unlocker: note that it would not accept Paypal payment if the account is not verified. https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/what-does-a-verified-account-status-mean-faq1014

If the DC-unlocker website refunds your Paypal payment immediately, that's likely the reason.

Yikes. Glad I found this thread. I was about to buy the M5 8.4, but since Huawei is making root/unlocking difficult, I'll buy a product from one of their competitors instead.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
I too own the SHT-W09 [C567 type, but not sure what that means]. From what I understand, as long as you are at build .168 or lower (pretty sure mine was .158 or something when I bought it, then ignorantly updated--now at 8.0.0.173) the dc-unlocker works.

If you buy it, just don't update above .168 and--I think--you'll be fine.

Great tab, but would not have bought it if I'd known about LOCKED F'N BOOTLOADERS--no more Huawei for me.

Hey guys, I need some advice.

I have a Huawei Mediapad m5 10.8 (432) and I successfully downgraded the bootloader (from .181 to .168). I also got an unlock code from dc unlocker, but now I'm stuck at step 14. For the love of all that is holy I can't boot my device into fastboot mode. I switch it off, then hold down both volume keys + power key. The device vibrates after a few seconds, I connect the usb cable while still holding all the keys, then one of two things happens:

1. After about 10 secs I get the message "Software install failed - Reboot device now". I can only tap reboot and the device reboots into "normal mode".

2 .After about 10 secs I get the message "Installing software", the devices shows a loading circle at 5% done and reboots after 2 minutes into "normal mode".

The tablet works fine after either reboot, no harm done.

Anyone knows why I can't get into fastboot mode?

Thanks, skyvahaerie
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
You're entering firmware/dload mode.

For fastboot, plug phone to usb to computer and use only Volume DOWN key.

Well, it worked and now I feel quite stupid. Was stuck for two days at fastboot step -.-

Hi,

I am having one weird issue with skype app installed on P9 lite. Whenever there is a new chat, I receive the chat notification banner both on lock screen and notification panel but there is no ringtone and vibration. I have tried many things like, uninstalling-reinstalling, clearing app data, settings change but nothing works.

The strange thing is that when I receive a call on skype, the vibration and ringtone works fine. The problem is only with the chat notification ringtone. All the other apps are producing the ringtones perfectly fine.

Does anyone else had the similar issue?

I'm experiencing problems where the phone is killing running processes, presumably to save battery/RAM. While this can be good (at least the battery part), it's actually killing running music streams while playing and killing google home when I'm casting to Chromecast (meaning the stream continues, but I lose control over volume/changing content).

Are you guys seeing this aswell? Any tips to make it suck less?

You can set these up in the power settings - go to Settings / Battery / App Launch and change the setting for the app you want to run in the background etc.... It changes from automatically being managed to whatever you set it. You can also use this area to stop apps auto starting when you only use them infrequently - to save even more power.

I have a similar issue, with Audi MMI Connect app.

I use this in the car, essentially it gives my car's infotainment access to Internet Radio and Amazon Music streaming vie the Audi app on my phone....used to work just fine on previous phone (Galaxy S8+) but the P20 Pro seems to not truly keep the app running in the background etc. Quite simply, if I turn the screen on and open the app, it connects up just fine (Bluetooth to car)......but, turning screen off and the app just goes to sleep shortly afterwards, breaking the connection to the car :(

I have noticed similar issues with various apps, i.e. there seems to be some really aggressive background power conservation/app closing.....rarely, for example, get Gumtree app notifications, but see the emails....load up the app, and sure enough there are messages etc., same for Facebook Messenger!
