Sorry for the late reply. I did not receive notification from XDA :p

I don't own an US version. But I don't think there will be much of the difference in terms of bootloader locking and unlocking strategy.

The tablet should be locked by default and you have to unlock it before rooting.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] C5Longhorn:
Thanks for the reply, I got it unlocked, now I'm trying to root.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sarichter:
The response I get is "imei_notbound_account"

I called US support and they referred me to China support because I have the SHT-W09 C432 variant (I thought this was European). I emailed that support line and hope to get some direction back on how to unlock the bootloader. Everything I've done online so far via their webpage and this tutorial does not work. Anyone have any ideas?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] purple lady:
Use DC unlocker instead. I have the same model was getting the same response and Huawei support was useless.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sarichter:
Worked like a charm... minus the massive issue of getting the device to be recognzied. Thank you for the suggestion.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] radafus:
i tried it then i got the code but when i write it and click commit i still end up with SN and IMEI are mismatched WTF?

btw i wasnt connected in the cloud until maybe a week so pls tell me that this has nothing to do with the fact that it didnt work.

PLS HELP
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sarichter:
Highly recommend doing what Purple Lady suggested.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ronin9876:
Please Help ...... Hi I am in Australia and have a WiFi only Mediapad M5 10.8 model CMR_W09_V4. I believe its a Chinese version from Hong Kong but it has been preloaded as a non-Chinese device with google etc pre-installed.

I am having trouble getting the Bootloader Unlock code for this device.

I have followed holi0317's (thanks holi0317) procedure using the resend request feature in a Firefox Browser on a PC. Everything seems to go to plan until the very last part.

After editing the "Request Body" I press send but I get the same message back saying "SN and IMEI are mismatched".

When I examine the response there is no unlock code , just this ... {"msg":"imei_sn_mismatch"}

I inspected the Request Body and its clear that it is a repeat of the original unedited script. In other words the version of the script I edited seemed to be lost and the resend function sent the unedited version. So for some reason it seems my edited script is not saving and therefore the unedited response is being re-sent resulting in no unlock codes :(

I am guessing that there is a setting or two in the debugger which I may need to toggle. .. Since I am unfamiliar with this stuff I really need some help please.

I would very much appreciated it if anyone who is familiar with this stuff could give me some directions...

Thank you in advance :)

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] vibecatalin:
I've tried yesterday too and I'm stuck at : ``Inspect the request to check route and click Edit and Resend Button.``

Not planning to root my tablet anytime soon but it will be nice to have an bootloader unlock code :)
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ronin9876:
Hi vibecatalin, I can tell you what I did to get past the place you are stuck at.

1. Before you press "Commit" on Huawei's web page you hit F12 on your keyboard which opens the Web Debugger on Firefox Browser. (I guess you past that point).

2. Next set the Web Debugger to "NETWORK" from the TABS that appear across the top of the Debugger window (towards the right side).

3. Now press "Commit" after the fields are filled as per

holi0317's instructions ... (Dont forget to imput the 4 character verification code).

4. Next you will notice at the bottom of the Debugger window is a few enteries (in my case 2) . Click on the top entry and details will open to the right of the Window with the button ""Edit and Resend" somewhere towards the bottom.

5. Click on "Edit and Resend" button. This opens the "New Request Window".

6. Scroll to the bottom of the "New Request Window" and you will see the "Request Body" which is what I believe must be edited according to holi0317's instructions. Dont forget to update the 4 character verification code in the script because it changes after you pressed"Commit" earlier .

7. After you edit the script as per holi0317s instructions scroll to the top of the Debugger window and on the top right side is the New Request "Send" button. Click it !

8. Next, in the same Debugger window (Sligtly Above) you will see the TAB Button... "Response" ... click it and scroll down to see the Response Payload... This is where I believe our unlock code should be if it works... (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

This is were I am stuck... I get this message {"msg":imei_sn_mismatch"} . When I go to "Edit and Resend" again I see the original script was sent .... not my edited version..... If you can get past this point please let me know how to do it.

I am currently also trying to get the unlock code by paying 4 Euro and using the application DC-Unlocker. Apparently others have had success with this and its cheap enough to try.

Good Luck... :)

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] The Lord Vader:
Just tried and I don't know if I got it right...

Under "response" tab I got this: {"msg":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"} the X's are 16 capital letters and numbers in a random sequence. Could that be the unlock code?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ronin9876:
Hi Lord Vader... it sounds very promising. .. We retrieved a unlock code from the site a few days ago for Huawei GR5 phone and it was only random numbers no characters. Maybe someone who has succeeded for an M5 Tablet may be able to confirm.

Did you do anything different to me to get your result... if so please share ?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] The Lord Vader:
Hi!

Nope, I followed your eminent guide with help of the post above mine.

I certainly hopes that it is the code I got, and that someone with a M5 will post and answer.

Many thanks ?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] omaga:
The 16 letters and numbers are your unlock code.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] C5Longhorn:
Yep, that method worked for me also. At first I didn't realize it was the unlock code.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ronin9876:
Unfortunately it still hasn't worked for me even though I'm pretty sure that I have the process right. Iam now getting the following response message back after resending the edited script:- {"msg":"imei_notbound_account"}

It seems my only other option is using DC-Unlocker (application). Hopefully this will work or I'm out of luck for now.

Good to hear at least some people succeeded.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] The Lord Vader:
That's too bad. I put in IMEI "123456789012345" because IMEI contains 15 numbers. Don't know if that helps at all, but worth trying...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] omaga:
What was the last day Huawei give bootloader codes? Was it today? Dont remember what date it was? there where when I got my unlock code, but there was a statement.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] The Lord Vader:
TODAY is the last day :(! See main page on XDA portal
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomaxda:
I just followed the procedure outlined in the first post of this thread and it worked for me. I'm in Canada but I'm using the ID info from a US model of the M5 8.4.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ronin9876:
Thanks Lord Vader for your suggestion. I didn't end up trying it because I managed to get the Bootloader Code using the DC - Unlocker application. .. it only cost 4 Euro but was easy to do and worth it to save further hassles.

For anyone who may be having trouble getting the Bootloader Unlock Code for an M5 Tablet I can report that DC-UNLOCKER worked for me for my Huawei M5 10.8 wifi Tablet model CMR-W09. I cannot yet confirm if this code will work because I haven't tried to use it yet. Please note some people have claimed the codes retrieved by DC -Unlocker didn't work for them while others claim to have had complete success. I will post my final results after I try and unlock my device.

Thanks again Lord Vader

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cintax:
Not sure if it's mentioned elsewhere, but here's a WAY easier way to force the unlock form to work correctly.

Select "Since EMUI5.0", then in the url bar type:

javascript:$('#model').val(unpt.wifiModel)

and it should force it to switch to WiFi tablet and work correctly. Just ignore the IMEI field and it'll submit and return the correct code.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ronin9876:
I have had a further confusing development:-

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT

I was able to retrieve a Bootloader Unlock code from the Huawei Website yesterday using the script method before it was shut down.

But unfortunately the Unlock Code I got from the Huawei Website is completely different from the Unlock Code which I retrieved from DC-Unlocker.

The code retrieved from DC Unlocker is all Digits while the code from the Huawei Website is Digits and Characters.

This causes me a little concern.. I haven't tried either Unlock Code yet so I can't tell for sure which, if any, are correct.

On the XDA Developer website I have noticed some people have reported unlocking bootloaders with codes extracted with DC Unlocker and others claim the codes didn't work for them...

In my case I won't know for sure until I try and unlock the Bootloader on my M5. At present I am taking my time to collect and verify the needed components to root the device...

Hello

I am thinking in buy this tablet, if it can be unlock and root. Do you have any updates in what you got from huawei?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ronin9876:
Hi pmj_pedro

Sorry I am unable to help you at this time because I still haven't tested the unlock codes I have. So I still don't know if they are going to work or not. I understand Huawei has stopped giving out the unlock codes some weeks ago. I managed to get a code from their website just before it was shut down. Some people report success getting the unlock code from DC-Unlocker software (it costs 4 Euro) and successfully unlocking their device while others claim it didn't work for them. I suggest you contact XDA members who had posted success to check futher details. I personally don't plan to buy any more Huawei devices if they can't be unlocked. When I finally unlock my device I will contact you with whatever information I can provide. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you right now.

I just find it wrong to have to pay to unlock the device. If I already paid for the device why do I need to pay even more (to a random person) to have my device unlock.

I was thinking to buy mipad 4 or m5 pro last month.

In the end I'm using M5 pro now and replying this post.

Mipad 4 don't have gsm/wcdma which means only lte connection.

If you don't have lte coverage then no Internet connection.

The speakerw on m5 are pretty awesome, I would say m5 probably better in every aspect except development.

Need to pay to unlock means lesser people will unlock thus lesser development.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] pmj_pedro:
How hard was to unlock the bootloader?

I am still deciding what tablet to choose from. I need a tablet that I can root to install a chroot linux ou a terminal, or change whatever I need. I don't own a laptop and I want a tablet to use as a laptop but also for Netflix.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] ronald_loulan:
In your case is better to get Snapdragon devices to get more development.

Huawei had shutdown the unlocking bootloader and kill the development.

The only way to unlock is to pay 3rd party around 5usd.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] pmj_pedro:
I am aware of that. I tried the lenovo tab 4 but it felt laggy and slow when scrolling. The Mi Pad 4 doesn't have drm, so no netflix on HD.

I have been locking for a tablet sub 300£ but there is nothing. Mediapad m5 looked a excellent option, but than I can unlock or root it, at least not for sure
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] ronald_loulan:
You can unlock using 3rd party service but this definitely kills the development.

When less user unlock usually means less development.

Guys, apologies if the question is silly / already asked somewhere i wasn't able to locate.

As per thread title, what is that all about? 1. It's an expected behaviour / feature of TWRP, or is it kind of a bug? 2. Is there any way to avoid / disable it?

It's quite annoying during these days of frequent flashing as development is speeding up fast for this little beast.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] sting5566:
If you have a pin or pattern set up it will always ask you for it.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ca110475:
Well, thanks for pointing that out.

I've been outside of the flashing world for a while with my old phone (OP2), but i'm pretty sure to recall that i was using TWRP 3.X and the pin was setup (due to fingerprint usage for unlocking) and the recovery was not asking for any decryption pwd.

Maybe the OP2 was not encrypted and that's the point. So wondering if future development will change this (are custom ROMs usually decrypted?)

It's something completely outside of my knowledge, so i could just be trashtalking here.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] sting5566:
If you don't want to enter anything when twrp starts under security , screen lock change that to none and you shouldn't have to put anything in when twrp starts.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] lollyjay:
It is a security issue. If you need pass/pin/pattern to keep your phone secure then logically you should have it required in twrp to prevent unauthorized access to your phone through twrp. You can disable pass/pin/pattern from the twrp file manager
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] matze19999:
Just decrypt your phones storage. You want be asked for a pattern / pin anymore in twrp
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
How?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
I'm not so sure you can actually decrypt the phone's storage and the reason I believe this to be so is the day I received my phone I was going through all of the settings. If you go into security and lock screen and scroll to the bottom you will see that your phone is encrypted. My phone was like this from day one without entering any fingerprint or PIN code. I may be wrong about decrypting the storage however the OnePlus 6 does have an EFS (encrypted file system) which stores meid, imei, serial number, config, diag settings and radio settings, etc in an encrypted format at the file system level.

If you do manage to decrypt your storage your phone will most certainly be vulnerable
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
I've always been decrypt with previous phones. There is no decryption method with the 6 yet because of the a/b partitioning. You need to flash a modified boot img.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] carlos67:
If you were to decrypt your data (and you can through either adb or fastboot - but I,m not going into that here), you would wipe it at the same time.

There's no way around this.

With that, I am aware of the wipe, but it would be a prepared and willing wipe, but you are right, this is not the place for the discussion.

Beautiful phone, nice interface, great internals. Adaptive brightness = fail.

It is just too dark most of the time. Google and Samsung automatically adjust brightness with a bias that you can set manually on the brightness slider. This phone seems to adjust brightness purely automatically by moving the brightness slider on their own.
