[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] szilveszter21:
Hi,

Just came over from apple for a long time, selected best price/hw (non-noname) devices. I was always trying to jailbreak my phone, and thought Android a better place to come out from your sandboxed environment. At the end of the story I searched a lot in XDA forums and found with mate 20 pro and no bootloader code nothing can be done in an easy way. There are a lot of thread telling how to get bootloader codes , but currently the situation is this:

Funky - !Down! and if it would give, would cost a lot money, irrealistic high price.

Global unlock solutions - not answering or selling anything in real life.

ministery of solutions also unavaiable.

Huawei has no longer giving access to lower level access to the phone "bootloader". To be honest this is disgusting, more disgusting than with Apple, at least you know when you buy people working on jailbreaks and if you not updating one day you will be happy. With Huawei now we are in a crazy situation, during the firmware built they have associated a number from your imei and possible from Serial (as on huawei this field was mandatory for unlock code)...

Each device got a number, and potentially it would make sense to know the exact hashing algorithm when it checked, if we get that and use hashcat that could be a good solution as if i remember well it is 16 numbers for huawei devices, so brute force with hashcat, not on the actual phone is possible...

I was thinking of brute force, but they also reboot the phone each 5 times, so when you want to brute force 4 try reboot, this need time... I am really dissappointed that you buy an android phone and you are almost in the same cage as with apple iphone.

Guys someone please summarize what are the possibilities with boot loader, is anyone working to replicate the hashing mechanism?

This should be for geeks possible for brute force, just we need to elliminate the condition phone, how long does it take to virtually run a cloned boot loader on a PC and pass through a code in milliseconds? In theory , if we get the mechanism known and can utilize hashcat for cracking with numeric only password would be short journey.

Please make a summary what is the current progress and future plan with rooting and unlocking huawei newer devices

When i was holding my last "free" phone completely linux opened phone, it was allowing you to enter into the deepest boot loader and it brought up the next one for flashing like an eeprom, flash mode or persistant... I am quiet sure if you can't go deeper than fastboot you cannot brick your phone, so huawei's statement is not correct, yes could soft brick your phone, but as long as you have a flashing interface alll should go well. I am crying for phones like nokia n900 linux mobile, where actually was your decision what do you want to install into your phone without virtualization/containers/sand boxes.

Please keep us updated about the possibilities and future plans about the boot loader as in the last week I completely lost my trust in huawei, no one tell anything , I also wrote them if they can send me my code, but they simply ignoring my mail at huawei ;)

I am bit beginner, but I guess I read almost every post about this problem, and each post outdated so just bring infos together, first post a long post :(
