[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] IT.Adviser:
Does anybody have fair SM-G965U1 (XAA region)? Could you check if you phone has possibility to get data from Galileo? YOu just need to install and run GPSTest or GPS Satellites Viewer app.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] OnnoJ:
Seems repetition as with US unlocked Note 8 N950U1 (Snapdragon), which to my disappointment also cannot receive or use Galileo Satellites.

While specs did suppose it would.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ibrahimdaqqaq:
Dears,

So my warranty is over, and the company i purchased the phone from MobileBD sucks in their customer service, last time i sent they installed a software that keeps poping errors on my phone, this software it seems is for sim 2 to work, because if i reset factory settings the sim 2 will stop working.

I am thinking of flashing a rom, that would make both of my sims work with no problem, and enjoy my phone with no errors.

As many of you will know Huawei pulled the unlock bootloader site. People have since had mixed results emailing them directly for the code. I emailed them for the unlock code yesterday (11th June 2018) and recived the reply copied below.

It certainly clears some things up. Interestingly the bootloader site is back up, albeit for a limited time! You lave 60 days from 24th May before they stop the service! https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_detail

When you go to unlock via the link they give you this warning: Screenshot https://photos.app.goo.gl/2kcJ2J9gXWpwE8XN9

Personally I think it is a bad move on Huawei's part :eek:. If you've not unlocked bootloader and intend to do so I'd jump it it ASAP!

Thank you for contacting Huawei Customer Care.

In response, we would like to inform you that starting May 25th and until July 25th (for 2 months) – the EMUI website will get back the bootloader code search function, for products released before May 25th.

Starting July 25th 2018, the Huawei official policy (as per HQ decision) is to not offer bootloader codes to customers anymore in order to avoid issues that may appear due to ROM flashing, and thus maintain the user’s experience.

The website can be reached here to obtain the bootloader code : https://emui.huawei.com/

We hope this information should prove useful. Should any questions arise, feel free to contact us again.

We remain at your disposal for any other inquiries that you may have.

Best regards,

Ben

Oh :rolleyes: I'll crawl back under the rock from which I came haha
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] all the pugs:
Does *applying* for the code alone void the warranty? OR can I apply and receive a code, but only void the warrently the moment I unlock it?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Aye there's a few threads about this, I've got one myself.

And I agree with everything in your OP mate.

They'll probably in the future start allowing unlocks.

No one wants a locked down android phone and when it hits their pocket they'll know that.

Unfortunately for p20 pro owners the damage is done and the lack of ROMs is testament to that.

Perhaps if they'd just released one damn variant without all the madness they've forced upon us there would be less problems flashing ROMs I mean look at Oneplus, they actually had twrp as a part of their official root method on their site for the longest time haha and here's Huawei putting their finger up to the people who've done more for Android than anyone.

Apparently we're only 1% of their customer base?

I promise you they'll lose more than 1% sales when the next flagship is released as there will be zero ROMs on here when it does and none of the enthusiastic users here to create a buzz about it.

Beginning of the end and the birth of another Apple.

They'll learn, just like HTC did, if a little late.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
Hi everyone,

This is my first post here but I have been swimming through your posts since ever I think :)

I have a Chinese P20 Pro (CLT-AL01) and I have been trying to obtain the code from the EMUI webpage but no success. I entered all the info that demands but it doesn't give back the code. It shows a message like if you have any problem with the unlocking process just contact us. Maybe it's because the phone is Chinese? Happened to someone?

I contacted them via huawei email today, I will wait a few days and I'll see.

Btw I am trying to rebrand it to the EU version.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
it could be because it a Chinese version, but not sure - i requested my unlock codes for both my Huawei devices yesterday and got them instantly
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
Thank you for the answer, they are both from UK I supose?

I fell to a Chinese online shop and I bought it hopping I would able to eliminate all the apps and bloatware (and who knows more...)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
yes, both devices are UK C782 models
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
So this happened:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear xxxx,

Thank you for contacting Huawei Support.

We are unable to send boot loader code via email and can only be obtained through our website.

If you would want to unlock your phone, you should meet the following conditions:

1. Please register your Huawei ID in our official website xxxxxxxx on your phone.

2. Log in and logout your Huawei ID continuously for 14 days.

3. Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than fifth time within 6 months.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the conditions are a bit demanding idk, I am thinking about returning the phone asap. What do you guys think?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
That's rubbish, this is reply I got regarding unlock code
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
They are making excuses for not giving me the unlock. The worst thing is that I registered the huawei account on the phone yesterday, so in 14 days it will be July 24th and that day they will stop giving the code :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] all the pugs:
Huh?

Can't you just log into the EMUI-Site from the first post and request your code there? It worked for my device a few weeks ago. It was quick and easy.

[MENTION=1786721]walkerx[/MENTION] Huawei Support Germany insists that even requesting the code voids the warranty. Of course this is bull and not even legal, but whatever floats their boat I guess.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
I got that email response from their UK Helpdesk and told them the reasons for it was due to the lack of updates for the devices, incompatibility with certain apps and that they allow UK network operators to take over your devices even when purchased as sim-free, unlocked out of contract and unless they change their attitude towards the UK users and not reverse the unlocking bootloader decision then I will no longer purchase another Huawei device.

I may not unlock until after I swap phones to another model, but I always want that option and do not agree with it being locked down.

I'm also thinking of logging a UK petition online to prevent network operators in the UK from taking control off our devices and re-branding them and deciding whether or not and when we should get updates as these should be left to google or the manufacturers not the network provider. Also like with Apple devices wifi calling features should be standard and work for all networks not just limited and they should not require a specific firmware supplied by the operator for these to work - should be done by network setting only
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] all the pugs:
I'm totally with you on this point. Fortunately, in Germany, most (not all!) providers don't force any unnecessary crap on an unlocked device and don't mess with the firmware. Some do, however.

I would also prefer to be able to unlock an reflash whenever I want to, or get rid of the forced on G-Apps, or fully use tasker to control the device (which you need to be rooted for some certain things).
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
No, I have to wait 14 days they say. The phone is new so I have used it just some days.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] all the pugs:
Just go ahead and try it out! Can’t anything happen besides the form not putting out a valid code :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
I have tried already but all I got was a message saying to wait until the phone has been used that 14 days :mad:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] all the pugs:
Oh, ok, that sucks. I just bought another P20 Pro 2 days ago and wanted to get the code before the service stops. MEH! :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Aodrulez:

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] desirat:

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
Yes, the same one
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Abaddon:
so I need to wait 14 days to get the code?

damn only a few days left before Huawei closes the unlock bootloader option :(

I was trying to unlock now because I just got the p20 pro earlier and was excited to unlock its bootloader but I keep getting the message saying

If you have any questions about the unlock code application, please contact us.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

have you had yours unlocked already? I too am getting that message when trying unlock the bootloader. I just got my device today,
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gisbby:
No, I don't have the code yet. I am now getting the message "your account hasn't been used in the phone for at least 14 days" or something like that. Have you logged with your Huawei account in the phone? I think you need to do it so they know the phone is linked to the account.

Good luck mate

PS: I suppose in a time, paid services will be able to give the code but idk
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Abaddon:
I'm logged in on my device with the huawei account. No matter what I do, all it says is something like if you have questions about bootloader unlock please contact us. Nothing more, nothing leas. This is really saddening lol
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Federicadr:

anyone tried this? I'd pay 4€ to unlock my honor 6x, wich will arrive tomorrow.

But if this doesn't work, I'd rather send it back without even unboxing it – not want to "own" a non-rooted device…

DC unlocker only supports p20 lite at the moment. you could try other sites though and let us know.

[IMG="dc-unlocker claiming unlock features"]http://old.kai.dj/tmp/honor6x-dc-unlocker_coins.png[/IMG]

…but you can buy 4 tokens for "unlock huawei honor 6x". Doesn't that mean they claim to be able to unlock the 6x?

As I just ordered the phone (and could just send it back un-unboxed and get full money back) and am low on money – I'd rather not take full risk losing my money on an unrooted phone (or even have it bricked, or beeing hacked via teamviewer, …).

So if noone sais "it worked for me with honor 6x" – return to sender ^^

Damn ****ty move by huawei, I'd like the phone otherwise :rolleyes:

dc unlocker does not recognize 6x

I tried the dc unlocker programm – unfortunatly it does not recognize my honor 6x.

However there is an entry "honor 6x" in the pulldown menu.

Also I turned the USB-mode from huawei to standard like described in dc unlocker client.

Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone confirm?

Any other way to unlock huawei phones (spec. honor 6x) without them providing unlock codes?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:

Will start a new honor 6x specific thread (or participate in existing if there is suitable one).

Just had to decide between S9+ and P20 Pro... It was a close call and I was leaning to the P20 Pro, but for the bootloader unlock thingy...

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] andrea_x:
I was so exited to buy a P20 Pro, but luckily I've read the XDA review where I've read about the impossibility to unlock the bootloader.

It's really a shame!

I will have to go with the OnePlus 6 or a Mi 8.

But is Huawei really aware of the selling loss that this policy is causing?

Very very weak.

If I show u my super duper phone..am I still 1% cos you're now interested? Who are you going to tell?

1% becomes 50% trust me.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shipmate:
I only decided to get this phone because I was able negotiate a low price for the phone as my contract was due for renewal. I got a very good reduction.

I normally buy phones outright SIM free.

I wouldn't pay lots of money for a high end phone without the option of unlocking the bootloader.

I won't be buying another Huawei without unlock capability in future unless it's really really cheap.

They should at least allow bootloader unlock when 2year warranty expires. I often put a custom ROM on a good old phone then pass it on to relatives and friends so that it still gets security updates.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] all the pugs:
Don't hold your breath. Of all the people I know, only one person has a rooted phone. The last iPhone with jailbreak I held in my hands was the iPhone 3G. Seriously. Most people, who are not developers, don't even know this exists. Nobody buys an iPhone BECAUSE they can Jailbreak it. And nobody bought a Huawei phone just because they could unlock it. Yes, if you look for a phone you can unlock, then you will now get a different brand, but most people won't give a funk. They will buy the phone for a million different reasons, and these few who care will just get a OnePlus or whatever else. Huawei will stick to their decision.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No problem.

Can you explain specifically what the situation is with your phone please.

What exactly is wrong.

Can you boot?

Whats wrong with the bootloader? If it's unlocked then you can use the HU Updater method or rebrand and go from there.

If you simply want to update to lastest OS and your bootloader is locked down then you will have to wait until your variant receives that update. There is no known way around it for the time being.

Side note: Honor is going to be allowing bootloader unlocks on a temporary basis so there may be a chance that huawei will follow suit.
