Hey,

I was wondering if it's possible to root the mate 10 pro without unlocking the bootloader.

Since huawei is not giving the bootloader codes anymore, and i have the latest updates so dc unlocker isn't an option either.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
What build are you on?

BLA-Lx9CxxxBxxx

Rooting is not possible without unlocking bootloader.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Trickbe:
My build number is BLA-L29 8.0.0.145 (C432)

Thank you for the reply.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
FOR OTHERS SEEING THIS, IT WILL NOT WORK ON B146 OR GREATER (02 XLOADER). (B148-SP1 being the exception as it has 01 XLOADER)

FOR OTHER CUST THAN C432 CHECK THIS THREAD ON HOW TO CHECK YOUR XLOADER: https://xdaforums.com/mate-10/how-to/beware-bla-l29c432b147-t3817241

Great. You can downgrade to B142 and get unlock code through DC/HCU.

You will need a USB-C to USB-A female OTG cable, or USB-C to Hub and a memory stick (8GB minimum)/sdcard adapter + sdcard (8GB minimum).

Backup your phone with Backup app and internal SD (If you want to of course) as it says the dload will format /data (I'm not sure if it actually does it as I had to format manually from stock recovery, but when I tested I went from B148-SP1 to B142 so the big gap might have caused /data to not want to load correctly).

Download this dload package (BLA-L29C432B142): https://mega.nz/#!vXZRnAbI!pYBwcPATQKyxB-Et74StI-3H7tsytbo2xheIQdTCGKU

Extract zip and go in to the 'Software' folder, copy 'dload' folder to the root of your memory stick/sdcard. (do not extract the update_sd.zip in the dload folder, it's supposed to be zipped)

Plug in memory stick/sdcard in your OTG-cable/Hub and USB-C in your phone and go to dialer app and enter: *#*#2846579#*#*, tap on "4. Software Upgrade", then on "1. SDCard upgrade". Tap on "OK" then install anyway when/if it says "PT Failed".

You can also force dload update by holding power + volume up + volume down with USB OTG/Hub plugged in.

Phone will reboot and start verifying package, this takes a while. Then it will start installing.

If it starts bootlooping after the white Huawei logo, go to stock recovery (Power + volume up) and Factory reset. Booting the first time after downgrade will take a little bit so only factory reset if it takes 5+ mins.

When you are booted use DC/HCU to get unlock code. I had to install drivers from their support section to get it working, else it wouldn't recognize phone.

Alternatively you could probably use Funky Huawei to downgrade to B142, but it's expensive.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] amith311:
My emui version says C185 can I use the second method to unlock bootloader and root
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Yes, but you will need to find dload firmware for C185.

You should be able to use "BLA-L29C 8.0.0.135(C185)" (Search with that exact text on androidhost.ru), it's from April.

I don't trust the B133, too many versions use B133, but I did download B135 just now and have checked that it is April patch.

For BLA the USB-C to USB A female OTG cable/USB-C hub is required as we don't have any external sd. Placing it on /sdcard/ does nothing

Downgrade from B145 to B142 ?

Small question: if you succeed to downgrade from b145 to b142, what do you do after ? Is OTA still working for example ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
OTA will be offered directly, it wanted me to update to B145 again (Which is the latest approved fw for me).

But get unlock code off of DC/HCU before updating, otherwise you'd have to downgrade again
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] a029159:
I really don't see the interest to downgrade to b142 from b145 if just after OTA upgrade to b145 again ? Who is able to explain ??
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
You can't get bootloader unlock code from DC/HCU on B145+, downgrade to B142 and you can.

I did write it in my original post and in the reply to you.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] a029159:
Thank you. Now it's more clear. So if you already have your code before having update to b145, it's not usefull.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Exactly. Well, it would be useful if you never saved your code or rebranded using FH Rebrand tool as well, as that changes your unlock code.

However. If you are on, for example, C432B146 you won't be able to downgrade at all.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Hamsi3434:
Im on .142 now and got my unlock code from dcu. Can i install ota updates without problems with unlocked bootloader? And is there anyway to flashing stock rom without relocking bootloader? One last question if i can update to 145+ after unlocking can i root it too?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
You will get updates yes, but to install them normally you need to flash back stock recovery if you have TWRP.

Normally bootloader is not locked after flashing stock firmware, if that's what you mean? Yes, you can root fine on B146ä5+
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Hamsi3434:
Thank you. I asked will otas lock my bootloader bcz u know with .145 update they did smh that prevent unlocking.

It prevents getting unlock code from DC/HCU. If you already have code you will be fine (For now anyway)

[Nokia 5 Questions & Answers] Seriel:
Lets say for example you use one of the existing tutorials to unlock the bootloader and root a Nokia 5 running on Nougat, is it possible to then upgrade to Oreo (Or Pie when it rolls out) while keeping the root/unlock? Usually phones don't accept updates when they detect they've been rooted, or the update will remove the root, something like that.

Note that I don't own this phone, I just like to know things before I get mine.

thnx [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION] and all others involved :good:

Nice build - working smooth, no lag

DT2W ok

Used bitgapps as a starter

At last NO echo and incall volume adjustable

FP working

Hotspot OK

camera pics ok, recording crashes when saving - on both pics and video lag on movement

usb preferences work

afaik there is no way in settings to reverse softkeys so i used mine : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832237510 (be sure to be rooted and mount system/vendor)

Notifications work - on lockscreen and leds ok

EDIT : after testing a bit, definitely more heating and i mean a lot, more cpu load (f.e. as on the PPR1 img )..... could not stabilize temp on cpu 92C ! Only after applying powersave in EXKM...definitely something to look into (only Wifi on, no BT, no specific apps running....only the basic stuff to test your build )

EDIT2 : fast charging way more heat on battery - also battery drain too fast even with no cpu load

Will test further ;)

You shouldnt have used another BL nor twrp if you were on Nfounds and twrp3.2.18.Just flashed this rom and rebooted would have been fine.

Try to revert back to where you came from, at least flash his twrp3.2.18 and do a restore if you can.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Hellsbend:
Thank you very much, I am on the other LineageOS again.

Flashing Nfounds Twrp through fastboot, than O Bootstack again and I could restore my backup :)

Maybe they should point on that in the OP here.

I will try again in a minute and report back.

Thank you again!

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

That work's just fine.

I just tried this new build now, but it's just the same as the build you posted earlier today.

The only difference in this build....

Device information now shows Axon7 U

Same small bugs as in the other LineageOS 16 GSI plus wifi bit bugy

Signature spoofing is broken

Not worth it jet setting it up all new again.

I went back to my backup again.

Thank you again.

Edit

Of course, it's easier to flash because Post 1,2 and 3 are "included" now.

So it's quicker to flash.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Not quite. Mine was derived from Redmi Note 4. It looks the same for sure but devs have done some adjustments as to ECHO, dt2w working, notifications, ....

BUT my LOS16 build had no heating, nice CPU load and no battery drain and no heating when charging at all but had the annoying echo as we know it on other gsi builds and no dt2w, no notifications working on lockscreen, no led...

So there are definitely pros from this build and pros from mine.

Hope they can manage heating.

Also back on AEX as the heating (in my case) was too heavy. Dont want to ruin anything now ;)

First, many thanks for the hard work, i was suprise we got Pie that early.

I got one issue that would ask for help. I am from NFound 1.3.0B01 and followed the first 3 steps as instructed. After flashing vendor partition creation tool, my phone rebooted into recovery and I was asked for password which I has not seen before. Tried the pattern to unlocked the phone, not work. I also followed some instruction to remove pattern but it keeps asking for password. The phone says it was encrypted but there is no option to decrypt it. I also don't have to enter the password before, so i guess it's something wrong. I don't have SD card or PC, how can I proceed with the installation? If i format, everything in internal storage, including the downloaded twrp and rom will be lost, right?

Any help is appreciated.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dead Short:
When booting into the recovery you can cancel entering the password. Then wipe system, data and cache, as mentioned in the OP, that did it for me.
