[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
When you turn on your Mate 20 Pro before you could use the device you clicked agree to a licencing agreement that you never bothered to read. EU Law does not give you the legal right to unlock your bootloader or root your phone. Doing either violates your licencing agreement with Huawei which is legally binding, even in the EU, voids any warranty you had with Huawei (even in the EU) and removes any liability from Huawei if your identity, credit card information, bank account numbers, passwords or anything else is stolen on your phone since you compromised the security of your device by altering it in ways that violate the licence you agreed to. This applies even in the EU.

I'm sick of reading the exact same ignorant claim from you over and over and over.

You have no legal right to a bootloader unlock code because you happen to live in the EU. You have no legal right to unlock your bootloader because you live in the EU. If you think I am wrong then you should be pursuing legal action against Huawei (and Xiaomi, Apple and Samsung) since those companies currently do not allow you to unlock the bootloader on devices that you purchase.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
If you're sick of reading the same thing over and over again then keep scrolling pal!

I legally own my device thus making me the legal owner of anything to do with my device. BOOTLOADER UNLOCK CODE INCLUDED!

I never said that EU law entitles me to unlock my device, if you cared to read what I said properly or clean your glasses...I said that I own any and all material to do with the device I have purchased - BOOTLOADER UNLOCK CODE INCLUDED!

Next time, instead of running your mouth, read what I wrote properly before speaking....or don't speak at all!

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iznogoud69:
Cool ! So what is the procedure? You have it ? Thx

FYI

- I contact Ministry Solution: The guy they stopped the service for the unlock Code the 9 January ! He said i have no solution now for root my mate 20 pro... WTF ?

- I saw on FH the cost is 135$ to have the Bootloader code ????... WTF no2

- unlockhuawei.com is FH (FunkyHuwaei) !
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I can read just fine. Can you? You just said that you are legally entitled to the bootloader unlock code for your phone under EU Law even though you aren't entitled to unlock your bootloader under EU Law.

That plainly makes no sense whatsoever but you seem to think Funky Huawei has a giant database that includes the bootloader unlock code for your phone. Funky Huawei doesn't have your bootloader unlock code--they generate the code but for them to do that you need to provide them with IMEI numbers specific to your device. They do not have your IMEI number, your bootloader unlock code or anything else that you could possibly own under even your interpretation of EU Law.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
And for them to generate a code costs $66 does it? I'm not going to sit here and argue with you! You are obviously blind because I never said I was entitled to ANYTHING! The bootloader unlock code belongs to me, what's so difficult to understand about that?

When you buy a house, you expect to get keys, what if the estate agent says "this house is yours, but you can't have the keys". Hang on a minute, this house belongs to me, I've bought and paid for it so anything to do with the house belongs to me, you'd tell the estate agent to get stuffed!....it's the same principle right? I never said I was ENTITLED to unlock my bootloader, I merely said that the code belongs to me because I have bought AND PAID for this phone and everything to do with it....bootloader unlock code included.

Is there a way to force flash LYA-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.0.171 on mate 20 pro (LYA-09) via HiSuite or Multi Huawei Tool?

Do care about bootloader unlock, just want the latest updates.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If you buy a house which for whatever reason doesn't come with the keys, you'd need to hire a locksmith to unlock the door, and the locksmith would be paid for his services...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
I'm not going to sit here and explain myself over and over again. The unlock code belongs to me because it's useless to anyone else. If you don't understand that then that's your problem...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I agree with you in principal. Huawei should provide you the unlock code for your phone (like they used to a year ago.) just as someone selling you a home should provide the keys. Sadly, they don't so it requires a third party to provide it to you. The third party must work and incur costs in order to do that. That's not the fault of the third party, that's the fault of Huawei for not making it available to you in the first place.

It's very much like someone selling a house or a car for which they make clear the key is not included/available for whatever reason. You'd need to hire a locksmith to sort that out. That's the current situation with Huawei phones.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
Ah, just the person.

Someone who works for FH.

How can you justify the $66 price tag for obtaining a bootloader unlock code? That price is ridiculous....
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
How can Huawei justify charging $1000 for a Mate 20 Pro? How can Apple justify charging even more than that for an iPhone XS Max? How can anyone justify charging anything for anything?

FH needs to factor in costs of providing the service, providing employment to those who work for FH, manage risk, try to be profitable, try to grow, and so on when determining price points, just like any other business or service provider. So if FH offers something for sale, that's the price that it was determined that it makes sense for FH to sell it for. Nobody holds a gun to your head and makes you buy something, so if you don't feel it's worthwhile, don't buy it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
I appreciate the explaination.

But answer me this, if you're not sitting on a database full of bootloader unlock codes, what are the steps in obtaining them that warrant the $66 price tag on top of the £900 I've paid for my device and apparently all information and documentation....excluding bootloader unlock code.

I'm not neccesarily mad at FH because I understand that businesses need to make money in order to thrive and provide a living to those employed. I guess I'm just mad at the situation - I want to unlock my bootloader, the bootloader code belongs to me anyway because as mentioned previously, it's useless to anyone else and i own the device that the code will ever unlock, but I'm stubborn and i just cannot justify paying $66 on top of the £900 I've already paid....
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
If we were sitting on a database of codes, it would be MUCH cheaper.

I can't go into details but we need to do individual work for each order.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
I appreciate the explaination again.

As mentioned, I'm not neccesarily mad at FH, it's just incredibly frustrating. For what it's worth, I'm sorry if ive come across as a d!ckhead.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I hate the situation as well, actually. I'd much prefer Huawei provided bootloader codes directly.

Unfortunately it looks like the direction they're heading in is to lock things down as much as possible.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
Right now I'm hating Huawei. RAM management is complete crap, constantly stopping my music/Podcasts, not downloading updates for apps (gets stuck 'waiting' out 'pending download'). It's ridiculous since there is more then enough RAM.

This is the fastest I've regretted buying a phone, and since I bought it at a duty free store at the airport I'm not even able to return it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Minotaur:
Hmmmm, they must have changed it back again.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Not sure,

It's obviously derived from the IMEI somehow, if you had enough IMEI codes and the corresponding BL code, you could reverse engineer whatever the algorithm is.

I daresay that this is what FH have done.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iznogoud69:
Hi everybody,

I see a recent video for unlock bootloader if we dont have the code...

the trick is to replace the info with another by knowing the code of the bootloader in advance and making the phone believe that it is the same version

See it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1xvrHc_osg

So if we have a bootloader code, we can change it with a another, no ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Does Samsung allow bootloader unlocking? I haven't owned a Samsung phone since the Galaxy 3 but even back then Samsung didn't allow bootloader unlocking (which was what knox was written to prevent) and the only way to unlock the bootloader was with complicated workarounds that weren't possible on certain models--or on any Galaxy 3 at all that had been updated to a specific software build number while the bootloader was still locked. After that OTA there was no longer any workaround and the bootloader was impossible to unlock and it was also impossible to downgrade the firmware back to the version where the bootloader was unlockable.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

No. That video is for a phone that is running earlier versions of Android and EMUI. It isn't relevant to the M20P.

Look up Huawei Firmware Finder in the Play Store. The latest version of EMUI the app works on is 8.0 because Huawei updates EMUI builds to make it more difficult to modify their phones.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbily:
mate 20 pro

The update can be done with one credit. Or you can buy an unlimited pass which includes the bootloader code.

If you're planning to play around with an unlocked bootloader, an unlimited pass is probably the best choice, so you can recover whenever you brick it.

I had Sharp, LG, HTC, Xiaomi, Motorola, Samsung smartphones. Among them only in Samsung you can easily install TWRP and root. Just choose OEM-unlock aftre 7 days of using and install custom bootloader and ROM

100 dollars for a bootloader code.. It's a ****ing shame

easy money as tgey know stupid people will pay.

i want also root but not at that price.

next week it will be probably 150$. I think this threat has to be close as it's more an advertising for FH.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
They're milking the situation. $99 for a bootloader code is disgusting! I had a chat with the owner of FH and he said that they need to pay running costs etc...

i don't ask something for free but now fh exaggerates, a few weeks ago it was less than 50$, then 69$ now it's 99$.

they got monopoly so now fh charges much as it can.

it is like my old bank, i change because they charged me 7,5€for a stupid transfer not executed , i can accept 1€ but not that much for something done by a computer.

and why i have to blame huawei? Everybody knows since last year they don't provide bootloader codes, so i buy the mate 20 pro with that knowing.

i will be happy to get root but i will not be sad to don't get it especially when i see what can some people do for easy money.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Minotaur:
I think the Samsung don't lock the bootloader, but the Knox eFuse trips as soon as you flash a custom recovery and cannot be undone.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] superior8888:
Well, i don't know exactly how they generate the unlock codes. Waiting time is ridiculously long so maybe it's done manually, at least some of the work.

I agree the price is high though, but I still think Huawei is to blame. Their reputation is on stake, first not allowing bootloader unlock and then have someone else benefit from still selling codes. THAT is ridiculous.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
It's now possible to unlock the bootloader of the Mate 20 X, even the international version.

Prerequisites:

1. FunkyHuawei credit or pass.

2. Windows PC

3. Bootloader code from unlockhuawei.com

Steps:

1. Use the 'new HiSuite method' to install from the Misc section, version EVR-L29 9.0.0.172

(These instructions: https://pastebin.com/raw/Db5ZSyqu )

2. Now you can enable "OEM Unlock" from the developer options. (It wasn't possible without step 1)

3. Reboot to fastboot mode, use fastboot command:

fastboot oem unlock CODE

(replace CODE with your code)

Now the bootloader is unlocked! Time for development!

What part are you having trouble with?

What steps have you taken so far?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] tv83:
At step 5

Instructions for Compatible Phones:

1. Install HiSuite version 9.0.2.301 -- It must be this version.

Link here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1f6mzk6Ya9Jm6lRt3U8atJaJLVGgKisW6

2. Run FHHiSuiteInstaller.exe as administrator (right-click and choose Run As Administrator)

3. Select the update you want to install on FunkyHuawei's site.

4. Put your phone into fastboot mode (with the phone off connect the usb cable while holding volume down, or boot the phone holding volume down with USB cable connected to PC.)

5. Choose System Recovery in HiSuite.

The update will download, decompress, and install. Your phone will reboot from fastboot to USB install mode during this process.

Do I download anything from Funky shop?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] lightning413:
No, simply hit System Recovery in HiSuite with the phone in fastboot mode and HiSuite will take care of everything
