Hi, sorry to hijack this thread but i wasn't sure if i should start a new one. I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro LYA-L09 that has android 10, EMUI 11.0.0 current build 11.0.0.162 Currently unlocked but with Optus flash screen. I have just discovered that Android Auto on this phone doesn't support wireless AA. I have purchased a wireless AA adapter for my car and it appears I need minimum Android 11. Wired works ok for this phone and AA in my car.

This has been a really solid phone for me and i didn't realise that I have owned it for so long as its been such a reliable phone with good battery life.

Question I have is can this phone be flashed with android 11 and if so is it easy to do following guides?

Or if not, do I cut my losses and purchase a new phone?

Looking forward for advice, thanks
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mutahharbashir:
Simple answer is no.

You can't get android 11 on this phone.

No matter how hard you try

Just impossible.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rufftommy:
Ok thanks, googling I couldn't find any info suggesting it was possible but I was hoping. , But thank you for confirming this.

Time for me to look for a newer phone.

Hello, The magisk patch method is compatible with version lya-l29 or just for l09?! :)

Can someone help me?

I'm following the instructions down to a T and HiSuite still says that my device is not compatible for device recovery....

Just to clarify, this will work with the LYA-L09 too? Whats the difference between the L0C and the L09?

Thanks,

Speedy.

Magisk keeps saying "not installed".

I'm on FW 182 and flashed both the attached patched_boot.img and also my own (patched by magisk as suggested).

What am I missing?

Edit:Solved with different boot.img
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zhuanyi:
If you are on L09 then I think you should try to see in the hisuiteconfig.xml file if this config is included, if not then replace LYA-L29 with LYA-L09 in that file and contact FH support to make sure they allow that for L09. Also make sure you select the firmware on the FH website first on the same PC you plan to run HiSuite on, I believe they use IP to determine what firmware to give you.

I believe L09 is the European version and L0C is the North American version, could be wrong though.

Thx!! For 182, you would have the files?? LYA-L09 & L29 use same firmware?? I found the firmware 182 for LY29 but my phone is LY09
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maddinuser:

I need some help, I placed an order on funky huwaei for 99$ for unlock code. They refunded my order and right now the site shows unlocking service unavailable.

I cannot survive without root. Someone please help me on how to unlock this bootloader.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cygnus56:
is this to root? You must have the bootloader unlocked, right?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
So, what do we do if LYA-L29 doesnt appear anywhere in the HiSuiteConfig.xml? Do we just add Mate 20 Pro like this? It's not really clear....
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] drvirus00:
hi

how can unlock bootloader

lya-al00

no show oem unlock
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zhuanyi:
Replace L09 with L29?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zhuanyi:
AL is the Chinese version and the OEM unlock option is already enabled by default, you can proceed directly with the fastboot step once you get the bootloader unlock code.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
I added the Mate 20 Pro line manually because neither LYA-L09 nor LYA-L29 were present...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] User422:
An update for you.

Funky Huawei had increased their price to 99$ and currently doesn't offer it at all.

Even with the unlimited pass.

I had placed an order for the unlimited pass on 11th January.

Still didn't get anything.

They seem to have problems.

Ministry of solutions only supported the Chinese model but that service is down as well.

I've just noticed, my phone has no preload software on it. Would this affect software updates from Huawei?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cygnus56:
what is the preload software?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speedyjay:
The software that the carrier preloads on the device when a SIM is inserted
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dimon222:
I assume all options of unlock went nowhere? What happened? Still any sources of unlock keys?

Update: Bootloader unlock services were using indian service centers for getting unlock codes, and Huawei stopped this in January. Atm there's no publically available method to get unlock of bootloader. Source - xda, google
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kaibosh99:
Oh man, that would suck if the window has snapped shut on unlock codes. Let's hope that FH has someone working inside Huawei that can supply them with more. Is there any hope of any kind that an outside party could come up with a way to unlock the bootloader? Or is it heavily encrypted based on individual EMEI?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fromiOS2Android:
Ironic this BL-thing....

Here I am skippin out of ios for the first time after 12 years of use. Each year we got jailbreak and my device was free at last.

Jailbreak scene in iOS has proved more difficult in the later OS releases.

Then i finally bought my first Android device ever because android can easilly get rooted for own manipulation..

But when i finally get the Mate 20 Pro and i have read the internet upside down for information about, BL, FRP, TWRP, Unofficial , Official update, Magisk +++ to se how all off this is put together, there is no BL codes as of last summer. When i try to buy nobody is offering any more.

I am currently stuck with 9.0.0.153 (OEM Unlock greyed out). (Updating routines from Huawei seems like **** compared to iOS )

Still got no updates from Huawei even tough the software 9.0.0.18X is out there on several devices over the place called earth.

I got the C432 - european version. I have got no clue if i can relock( if i get unlocked) or put the phone back to its original state if i decide to sell the phone.

I really hope that i could get my hands on a BL code, and get officially up to a software that has the option for OEM Unlock.

I must say i am very happy with my device! It i working flawlessly!! Rooting is the only thing missing as i need this permission to custumize my unit.

Have a good one all.......

Regards, Norway.....
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dimon222:
Considering that Huawei itself fights with it, it doesn't seem promising so far. Basically all this time all the unlocks were coming from Huawei (maybe indirectly but well).

The only thing we can try hope for.... is if somebody find some exploit to read unlock key or bypass it, but its very low chance... by the time people find it we may buy new phone afterall :eek:

Yep, its tied on IMEI. The unlock key is 1024 RSA, so bruteforce will take significant time.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dimon222:

F*ck Hawei!! I just ordered my P20 Pro about a week ago. And now BL unlock is not available anymore?! This whole root topic is getting so frustrating. What is the problem to allow BL unlock and root? It does not hurt the manufactors at all....
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vstrglv:
I don't understand this. If you got root why do you need to boot into recovery?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sille:
to say it as simple as possible. The root is on the recovery_ramdisk. So you have to boot to recovery to boot the root ;) In fact you will see no recovery, because it boots straight to the system, but that step is necessary
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vstrglv:
So if I have to use root every time it is necessary to boot to recovery first?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] it4repair:
Yes. That's what they said "you will not see recovery but step is necessary"

No we are screwed, I was better stay with oneplus
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] happyharrysco1:
tell me, i spoke with one of the unlock guys today on whatsapp and he said he doubts that they will ever be available again, looks like huawei have cracked down on the support staff who were giving out the keys, i wish someone would manage to crack the hashing algorithm, as i assume that's all the unlock key is, a hash of the iemi.

looks like i'll be returning my mate 20 pro to my provider and going pixel 3xl, note 9, or s 10 instead!

Hi, i am an owner of Huawei mate 20 pro and been waiting to root it.

I guess i am not the only one.

Why we should waiting for funky and globalunlock to sell us a not fully working solution and not buying a phone to JohnWu creator of magisk to help us root the phone with his brilliant mind?

When we are willing to pay 100$ or more to get it root we can give 5$ or 10$(individually) to buy a phone altogether and support the development of our phone with the help of Jonh.

Someone who knows how, can make a poll in XDA to see how many of us want to root the phone.

Let's take the situation at our hand and help our self's. Altogether with have the power, let's support our self's JohnWu and the community of XDA.

Best Regards
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fromiOS2Android:
I totally support this. I come from ios to Android because the easyness of rooting. Then i took a chance on Mate 20 pro. Dumbest thing i did. I really need a compiled software that can root this and would much rather pay a developer to help us than 195 USD to Funkyhuawei. I am in desperate need for root and mate 20 pro is abviosly not the easyest one around. Please start a poll. I will pay, no doubt about it.

Regards, Kenneth, Norway
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dimon222:
Root exists for this phone for long time, if you open first page - magisk even supports our device. The problem is not getting root, the problem is finding an unofficial way to unlock bootloader device to install this root which is a different thing on its own. Basically it involves low level hacking with huge risks of burning money spent.

0. Bootloader code is randomly generated checksum and tied to imei in database that nobody now has access to. They took last access from engineers in January. Activation of this code is happening in fastboot mode that in Huawei devices opens fullscreen white color background that heavily eats battery, undisablable, and gives u only 5 unlock code tries. After 5 tries it reboots to android. Everything we have stops us from unlock, even bruteforce not an option

1. Huawei emui9 devices have stupid partitioning, which makes it different from others

2. No public exploits to read system partitions

3. Unlock code is now encrypted somewhere unlike in emui8.

4. Device is stupidly expensive, the price of trying is high risk of making brick because without unlock you can't easily recover it

5. Huawei itself doesn't support unlocks now, why should we invest money into their devices after what they've done? Let's be clear, even Huawei representatives left XDA in the middle of February (check Honor forums).

6. HiSuite and other nearby tools can flash custom stuff, but it won't boot on locked bootloader unless files are signed by Huawei. They won't disclosure sign keys.

PS: whatever FH has is what nobody wants, we need proper unlock to get developers to support this device.

PS2: no problems with making bounty thread, but let's make it direct - we need undocumented way to unlock device, not undercooked useless root
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hilandae:
Yes i know that root exist but it needs bootloader unlocked. FunkyHuawei claims that have find a way to unlock the device without bootloader code. This is what i hope JonhWu can do for the device. I understand that its not proper solution but maybe we can force Huawei to change strategy.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
