I was searching for those eBay dudes, I was talking with one of them on Whatsapp. On his eBay page the price is 22 dollars, on Whatsapp he asked me for 90 euros for the bootloader unlock.

This weekend i used {Mod edit} for 15 Dollars and IT worked!

Has anyone been able to get a bootloader code or found another service that is back online?

Here you go!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
Thank you, many thanks. How much it takes to receive the bootloader code? And how do you receive it? I am total noob, sorry for asking stupid questions.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RazOne:
It took 10 min for me but it may take longer.

You just send the IMEIs and then you receive bootloader code via eBay PM.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
One more question: Do I need to downgrade to EMUI 8? Currently I have Pie on my phone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] blufreak:
To unlock bootloader no, to rebrand yes
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] apollo_101:
Thanks but unfortunately for me he does not currently support my model clt-l29 and canceled my order
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] spityu85hun:

"Bootloader unlock code availability has ended. Please check back again.

We do not have any ETA or any way to tell you when they will be available again."

Yes i know, that's what i wrote above.

Imma try the eBay guy today. :D
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
Update: They canceled my order and refunded me. My IMEI is not supported or something like that.

Thing is I subscribed to {Mod edit} for nothing. But yeah, sometimes we lose. I hope they will buy something nice for that 23$ of mine heheh.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] blufreak:
No luck wihh the guy I said either? Whatever way they discovered must be down again

Purchased a few days ago order was canceled. Purchased another similar one, supposedly they are able to unlock but only via "remote unlock" using teamviewer. Seems sketchy is this even a thing?

I am getting so desperate...
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] blufreak:
Wouldn't trust any that will only unlock it via teamviewer. Its well known scammers use it as a platform and its only a code you type in
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ele-dev:
something new?

Can anyone give me an update about this service for paid unlock codes?

Is it still available in April 2019?

Does it still work for those who already tried it out?

Or did anybody make bad experiences with this guy? For Example no codes or wrong codes in return for money.

anyone tried <Manufacturer Mode>?

Hello

I have contacted 3 seller on ebay and 2 others -> no one is able to sell an unlock code..

So I have a phone which I bought BECAUSE it supports an unlocked bootloader, but I see I have been too late..

Has anyone tried one of these methods to unlock the bootloader?

Q1: DC Unlocker - see ... [i am not allowed to post the link:crying:] look for {Mod edit}

Q2: dLoad - Flash Huawei Stock ROM or Stock Firmware using default download mode? Would it be possible to patch the Magisk Modified file with this method?

not allowd to post the link -- see {Mod edit}

Thanks for any reply
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Macklegrey:
DC Unlocker & HCU Client (which uses manufacture mode) don't support the P20 Pro.

Without access to bootloader unlock codes we're all sh*t outta luck :crying:

That takes you through to a page where it says the service for P20/P20 pro is still down

If you read the page it says to "Click here for P20 and P20 Pro" codes, that takes you to a new page

That other page then has a message that says that they are not selling any codes for P20 Pro etc

Hi,

I've found a little app. I am still trying it. It should unlock the bootloader of my P20 PRO. In case you are interested in trying it here it is: https://github.com/haexhub/huaweiBootloaderHack

Bear in mind it works using brute force to break the code, so it is going to take a while. Nice thing about it is that if you stop it will resume from the latest saved attempt.

Regards to all

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen588:
MOS can only unlock the bootloader of your P20 Pro only if you have not upgraded to version 10. Version 8 and 9 only.

I still want my bootloader unlocked so I can root the phone for things like LuckyPatcher, Adaway and Titanium Backup.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mosaiques:
It is incredible that Huawei does not give the code to unlock the bootloader of this device that is already several years old. Luckily I unlocked it as soon as I bought it, when the service was free and provided by Huawei. Now I still have EMUI 9.1 and cannot update for this same reason.

I think it's time to buy another phone. :rolleyes:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aLcaTr4z:
Whos saying u cant upgrade?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mosaiques:
I can upgrade but I loose the root and once I upgrade to EMUI 10 I can't unlock the bootloader, even if I have the old code. Did you know that?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aLcaTr4z:
Mhh, no, didnt know that, that it might relock the BL.

Most of us didn't own the P20 Pro as the unlock was provided by Huawei, I'd rather keep the money too. It's more like eat or die.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] s3axel:
Well, great that the option is back :)

Before I jump on the same train I'll wait to see how custom ROM development is spurred by this - actually I'm pretty happy so far with my locked, no root P20Pro ;)

Support for Honor Models

Do you think that this service is supporting Honor models?

Maybe i will buy Honor Magic 2, but i need root for ad blocking.

Mine too. it prompted me to the unlock confirmation screen right away so i assume it works (haven't decided to unlock yet though).
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mudnightoil:
These guys are saying they can only do 10 or 20 codes a day.

IMO this almost certainly means they either work at Huawei and are doing this on the side, or someone at Huawei is feeding them the codes.

There's no reason why an exploit / backdoor like DCUnlocker (for other older Huawei devices) would be limited in numbers.

Don't expect this to last.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
for everyone who really want to unlock their huawei phone,

better do it fast,

as far as we see it, definitely insider(s) from huawei are giving out this code, lol

i dont mind giving money to people who risking their job and help the community.

and lets pray it doesnt get caught too soon
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Funky Huawei is also apparently offering unlock codes for current devices so I think t

It's more likely that somebody found a workaround or Huawei is supporting this themselves through a back door without changing their official policy. If this was an employee leak Huawei would have plugged it by now and it likely wouldn't be offered as a service by Funky Huawei since it could disappear tomorrow.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djlukas1983:
I've tried it and it worked.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fatguy666:
The Funky Huawei site says "We are providing bootloader unlock codes as a free service to those who purchase the unlimited use pass on or after October 12, 2018". The pass costs $132.00 USD.

NO THANK YOU!

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

Did you only have to provide the IMEI and serial number then he sent you the code?

There has been mention elsewhere about using Team Viewer but that doesn't make any sense.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djlukas1983:
I've provided serial, IMEI and phone model. They sent me a code by an e-mail. You don't need to use team viewer.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
I think team viewer is only for one who dont know how to do the unlock procedure, like installing adb fastboot etc and to worried to do so
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RiTCHiE007:
Tempting but 30 euro's is just crazy.... also the custom ROM section is almost near instinct and no doubt that in the future DC unlocker will find a way also so ill just wait
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fatguy666:
Check the other thread, someone doing it for $22 which is about £10 cheaper, few people with 100+ posts confirming it.

I still went with the original one, waiting on my code now.

EDIT - Code arrived in less than two hours, not had a chance to use it yet.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
Its $30 btw not euro
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RiTCHiE007:
No, for me it says 30 euros... Even on a vpn from the usa.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:
I've also paid 30€
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Athanatos81:
The website shows me an amount of 4 $ each code. Did the price go down or do I not understand anything?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mickrick:
The thing is, these are starting to pop up frequently now. How are they getting the codes? One member is reporting he got 8 at the same time. Are Huawei selling the codes off, either legit or not? They've got to be getting them from some sort of official source.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilowatt_W:
HI

one question : Is Phone Data wiped when unlocking ? Or can i use it on a full installed phone without reset ?

Thx for Info

Kilowatt
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
unlocking bootloader always wiping your data
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grancapitan:
Important, I'll tell you: my terminal was a Huawei p20 pro L09 converted to L29 through the Funkyhuawey method, which blocks the bootloader again and changes the IMEI.

I sent the money my serial number and the new IMEI, they immediately gave me the new unlock code and it did not work.

A greeting.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RiTCHiE007:
No, you looked at the wrong page bro. Go to the page and check the line where it says clock here for p20/pro and then it directs you to the 30 euro page.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Scrooge McDuck:
For some time now I have my P20 Pro. I had the choice to take a new iPhone or the Huawei.

I did not check if the device was rootable, I just assumed it was. Like all the other androids I've ever had.

I was so wrong.

Now I would like to spend the 30 € for the unlock code, but I have to admit that I do not know much about the bootloader itself and possible updates to it.

Somehow I get probably in the first Pie beta with 100 participants, with the beta app.

The beta app does not show my participation after successfull signing, but I received Android Pie via OTA update some time ago.

My question would be whether I can use the code multiple times on my device, if the next Pie update closes the bootloader again.

Data loss would be no problem for me.

I'd like to have the unlock code so that I can finally install Magisk and get superuser rights.

That's the most important thing for me and was the reason for my decision against an Apple device.

I add some pictures. Maybe someone can tell me if the unlock code will work for my device.

I would reluctantly put € 30 in the sand.

Thank you very much for any help.

Once you got your bootloader unlock code, you can use it as many times as you want to.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Xcelsior:
Contacting Huawei directly?

Maybe I have missed some statements or discussions here and there, so this might have been answered before:

Does Huawei no longer provide any bootloader unlock codes even if you register with their site and contact them and ask for it?

I know people are spoiled by these unlock forms and 30 bucks are not that much cash compared to the phone price but all of this

service actually looks to me like some employee is making some extra cash with things you could have free if you are not lazy.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:
Yeah You did. Official bootloader unlock by Hw is no longer available (since july).
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Xarrax_Draconis:
I paid 30$ now i'm waiting for the code. If that really works...it's not really expensive for getting finally the P20 Pro unlocked (just my thinking). But i'm worried if scammers could do something with the IMEI? i have no idea about that. But overall i tried and see what happens next, at least my Money is save with paypal...i hope.

Edit: ok i have to wait until i able to pay, seems i paid the wrong service. The live chat seem ok and solved my problem with the wrong payment.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Xcelsior:
I know that they stated they no longer provide unlocking via the regular form request method.

Have you or someone you know (from XDA community?) tried contacting them via mail or some ticket system on their site and they turned you down on your request?

Please do not get the following wrong:

I am kind of sick of all the guessing and assumptions that take place in this P20 (Pro) section. This starts with tools from other Huawei devices being utilized for P20 and luckily working with no one actually knowing of their source, history or possible limitations until someone bricks their device and does not end with assumptions about what has been announced/done and what actually works if you are brave enough to try (like writing a mail or open a support ticket with Huawei).

I am fully aware that many milestones come from try and error or reverse engineering. I am simply frustrated from quick shot bull**** answers like suggesting the wrong official TWRP version.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:
Yes, that was a case for some of us. Every single request (regardless of country) was a no go. Everyone has received pretty much the same reply "we no longer offer bootloader unlock service".
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Xcelsior:
Thank you very much for the detailed answer.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aymeric106:
fyi i just bought 100 huawei phones for my company. I asked my (high ranked) commercial contact at Huawei for an unlock code for my P20. First answer he received was a no-no. (too many people bricked their phone was the reason given to him). He escalated his demand to get the code but no answer after one week. I guess unlock codes are not easily accessible even inside huawei.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Cactus42:
Makes you wonder if these unlock codes are generated by some fancy algorithm or just a bunch of codes in a spreadsheet somewhere.

Of course if it is generated and these services give working codes that means some people have worked it out and there's people in the XDA community who would rather make money than help each other out.

Out of interest has anyone tried existing codes on a different device?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tbst1337:
Yeah, i tried my code also on my work phone. Doesnt work :cowboy: :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
I got my code from this ministryofsolutions site. I couldn't do it through the buy button, so I wrote in the chat. They told me they had some problem with the paypal button right now redirecting incorrectly, but I sent them the payment directly and I got my key. It works. I made backup, unlocked bootloader then resored my backup.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] soza971:
What version of build you were on?!?!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JF-GINO:
Ok, so I got really excited about the ability to now unlock the bootloader,

So I got a p20 pro today and now Im really worried cause my OEM Unlock option is greyed out!!!

I have the Canadian L04 model with ver C792.

Whats the point of getting a working code if oem unlock is greyed out and I have no access to fastboot commands?

Please, if anyone knows what I can do here I would really appreciate it!

Problem Solved,...

For anyone who might have this problem at first, do the following :

Take out your sim, then enter recovery and do a hard reset.

When I re-inserted my sim, it updated service settings and OEM Unlock was now working.

8.1.0.156
