Hello i also have root mate 20x in latest firmware but magisk vanced is not working ..do your vanced working good?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goldybewon:
Yes absolutely fine with me. If it is not working than try non root version.

Don't forget to disable official one.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rz0:
So is rooting this device (we're in the P30 pro forum) still legally possible as of now?

I'm getting inconclusive information about that.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Henkiestyle:
It really depends on your definition of that word.

If you mean it in the sense that Huawei will let you do it, then no they will not.

If you mean it in the sense that there might be an easy way to get it done for everybody, then unless you have a bootloader (see the first 'if') unlock code there isn't.

If you mean it in the sense that by law you can, then it really depends on local law. Huawei says warranty will void if you manage to root it somehow, even though they won't let you. But here in the EU there have been cases that have gone to court, resulting in rulings saying you can not deny customers warranty on hardware failures if they modified the software. So rooting means that legally Huawei would still be required to repair hardware malfunctions. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they blatantly ignore EU laws, so don't bet your house on it.

If you mean it in the sense that it's your device, and if you find a way to root you will not be fined or sent to jail, then yes it's legally possible.

Long story short: Huawei will not make if possible for you to root and they will not supply you with a bootloader unlock code, depending on where you live you may or may not receive warranty on your device hardware and finally; you will not be sent to jail if you do find a way to root.

Hope this answers your question.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rz0:
Yea, I'm from the EU, so the act of unlocking the device itself isn't a problem for me.

"Legally" may be the wrong word.

I mean that in a way that doesn't involve sending a sketchy 3rd party service my IMEI and then additionally pay them money for that.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Henkiestyle:
Ah, then no it's not possible. Currently what you describe is the only possible way and even that one isn't available at this time.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Driftuletzzz:
From what I see on their page (funky Huawei) unlock codes are not availabe AT least for now. I would definetly not pay to root my device, there must be another way, I remember rooting my HTC Desire 510 by registering on HTC Dev website and getting bootloader unlock code via e-mail.. for Free.. . So maybe someone would be kind enough to "offer" us, the Huawei owners this kind of workaround?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
There may be no other way.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Henkiestyle:
Oh I tried, to no avail. I have even gone through the process of registering as a developer with Huawei (which even requires you to use your personal identification to get verified) and then request them to allow me to unlock my bootloader (I actually am a developer, btw). But even that was denied with the same response everyone gets: "we have stopped giving out bootloader unlock codes". Really, for now I think there are 3 possible ways to get a code:

- wait for these services to get access again and get one off them.

- hack your way into the bootloader to retrieve the unlock code (or wait for someone else to do it)

- make friends on the inside (at Huawei) and have them pull some strings

None of these guarantee getting an unlock code anytime soon, I'm afraid. I know it's really terrible behaviour towards their customers, but I don't think they intend to change their ways at all. My advice would be to never ever get a Huawei device again if you like to root, and maybe see if you can trade this one with someone else for a different device.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nightraving:
It's so frustrating this is the situation with Hauwei and rooting this device right now. Don't get me wrong, it's the best phone I've ever owned but man...why can't they just give out the Bootloader unlock codes.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] anotherxdauser:
Dunno why they stop people unlocking their phones.

Maybe because of all the spy stuff installed...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
1 - There is no spy stuff except Google and Facebook.

2 - You can uninstall anything using ADB

Need p30 pro bl unlock code plzzzz help somebody
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hypafly:
Hello.

I bought my P30 pro some weeks back from someone (used). The bootloader was already unlocked. I get the famous bootloader unlocked warning when I boot and I decided to boot to fastboot mode and I saw that it says PHONE UNLOCKED in red. In developer options, the OEM unlock is disabled and I have been receiving official updates. I'm currently on 10.0.0.168 update which I received via OTA.

I asked my friend and he said that's how he got it too.

Does this mean I can install custom recovery and root?

Currently on official Android 10 though.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
To be able to flash, both Bootloader (= Phone in Fastboot) and OEM (= FRP in Fastboot) must be unlocked.

Generally, they don't prevent OTA, but it may happen that OTA locks them both.

However, previous owner might have locked OEM/FRP if he had issues with a particular banking app or so, supposidely checking if OEM was unlocked.

But generally it doesn't make sense to have Bootloader unlocked and OEM/FRP locked. In case of a brick, you cannot flash (hence you are practically in the situation as if BL was locked, because you cannot boot to system to unlock OEM)

Even worse, if phone is under warranty and if it was rooted or something, when you go to service shop, they will void the warranty declaring that BL was unlocked and that you were responsible for brick (again, because of locked OEM, you could not even relock BL)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hypafly:
In developer options, I can turn on OEM unlock. It's not enabled by default.

Edit: when I did and I booted to fastboot mode, I got both phone and FRP unlocked in red.

Please check the picture
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
FRP - Factory Reset Protection, nothing to do with bootloaders or OEM unlock, it just means the device is locked to a specific Google account which must be removed to disable FRP, same as iCloud lock
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
If you unlock OEM under Developer options, you will see FRP unlocked in Fastboot.

Lock OEM back, and FRP will show locked in Fastboot

And to allow Factory reset from stock Recovery/eRecovery, you must have FRP unlocked, so you must have had OEM unlockef in Developers options

This is exactly FRP protection, if OEM in Developer options was not unlocked and if your phone was stollen, a thief won't be able to Factory reset- he could not boot and unlock (to Factory reset from system), neither to Factory reset- from stock Recovery/eRecovery and the phone is useless for him

(Not talking about 'irregular' case if you flash custom recovery and then lock FRP back, in which case a thief could boot to the custom recovery and reset from there - but Huawei is no more responsible if you are flashing custom recoveries, ROMs, etc)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hypafly:
FRP unlocked in this case means that I can modify the phone and it won't be locked to any specific person's email or account. It was FRP locked before I turned on OEM unlock. The same applies to Samsung phones too.

Now I believe this means I can flash a custom recovery and root if it's available for Android 10
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
So if someone had access to someone elses device, say borrowed it to make a call, then toggled OEM unlock, this renders FRP completely useless?

They are not asked for any credentials to do this?

Because to remove the Google account from the device, you are asked again for your password, but you say in this case with OEM unlock you would not be asked?

---------- Post added at 19:40 ---------- Previous post was at 19:39 ----------

Don't we still need the bootloader unlock code?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hypafly:
With bootloader unlocked and OEM unlock enabled, it is assumed the person can easily flash a custom rom or easily wipe the partition responsible for FRP itself so there will be no need for the phone to be locked.

Installing a custom rom easily overwrites the settings of a previous rom.

Yes by default you'll need the bootloader unlock code to unlock the bootloader. But in my case, the bootloader is already unlocked by someone whom I don't know. I think maybe my device is a developers version. If that exists
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Well the reason everyone stopped being able to root/custom their Huawei's was because Huawei stopped giving out unlock codes, I also have OEM unlock in dev options but I assumed something more than that was required to unlock the BL, otherwise why was Huawei giving out codes in the first place?

EDIT - Yes, there is an extra step once you enable OEM unlock

Now unlock your device’s bootloader with this command line. (****** = Unlock code from Huawei)

fastboot oem unlock ******

https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-huawei-smartphone/
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hypafly:
It's quite simple

Having OEM unlocked on and having a locked bootloader will still secure your device because if you have OEM unlock on and you make a hard reset, you'll still be greeted with the frp email page and you'll not be able to unlock the bootloader because there is no code from Huawei to do that.

Having OEM unlocked off and having an unlocked bootloader will still secure your device because the person might have an unlocked bootloader but won't have permission to modify it.

Having both OEM and bootloader unlocked will render the device vulnerable because even if you're greeted with the frp email page, you can easily wipe the frp from the device or flash another rom or sth like that.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Ah I see

OK I'm with you now :good:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Unkocking Bootloader takes a single Fastboot command:

fastboot oem unlock <your bootloader code>

That script (or any other 'magic' script)

will just prompt you to enter the Bootloader code, and will then execute the above command.

And you still must have ADB/Fastboot installed to PC (for that Fastboot command)

No other way to do it
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Ok, I've heard somewhere about that project.

But if that would really work, it would already be a big news and everybody will use it.

If I recall correctly, after every few unsuccessful attempts phone will reboot - because of that it would practically take forever
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersonic27543:
The script performance can be improved by rebooting the phone after 4 tries (indeed complete brute-force of all codes generated by their algorithm can be possible after that as it takes ~3-4 days, at least for my IMEI)

But there's no point as that script is fake. Huawei bootloader code generating doesn't rely on Luhn algorithm (which that script uses) or any algorithm at all, it's just a random number generated when the phone is made, so that algorithm wouldn't work anyway. :(

Why are some people so obsessed with unlocking their bootloaders and rooting? This was all necessary back in the days of excessive bloat but nothing demands of these days.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nomone:
Because I bricked my phone, and if I wasn't so stubborn to try, retry and find a solution, the only way was to flash img files with fastboot.

I was lucky because an user called IProfessor has been so kind to help me and make an application to bypass the security checks that HiSuite does before performing a complete system recovery, via fastboot. I've told him the clue I had, because all these days I've seen theough a proxy server why my Mate 10 Pro wasn't able to find the recovery through HiSuite, and then him wrote the idea in a C# program.

It worked, so I didn't try anymore to unlock the bootloader :angel:

I'm always looking for a root method for every device I use as I'm an avid fan of Viper4Android. It's just a bit **** that Huawei, lately, have put their walls up.....I just want to say that I think it's very disrespectful that people chastise people on this thread and other related posts regarding this topic when they are actually trying to help the 'rooting' community. Posting **** like 'you're dumb for trying this' blah blah blah, is in my eyes, a defeatists point of view. So keep your opinions to yourself unless they are beneficial to this cause and let those who are actually bringing some light on the topic in with their findings with a high five and try and help them, posting negative comments doesn't help anyone and just makes you look like a moody ass clown. I'm not an intelligent person on this subject as I rely on people who research and actually try these methods out before I delve in. Be a bit more 'Bro' and less hoe.....you ****s.

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
Whether someone wants to root their device or not, that should be the device owners choice to make.

The fact that Huawei removed the option of making that choice is more than ****ty, especially as b/l unlock was initially available.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Lorry:
To back it up properly? To move the apps and data, and the 60 or 70 saved WiFi passwords from a Samsung to a Huawei? To be able to easily backup and wipe a phone and recover it once through airport security? To install better encryption solutions? To be able to hide from repressive authorities in some countries?

Lots of reasons!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
You do realise that you can already back everything up? As to the transferring from one device to another there are solutions such as Phone Clone. As to the rest it just sounds like tin foil hat paranoia.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
Now you got ME paranoid....

They didn't include a tin foil hat with my P30 Pro.

Not even a silicon case.

The bastards
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
Bloody annoyed me that they stopped providing cases [emoji52]
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
I emailed Huawei CS here in the UK about the omission of a case; I'd watched several YT unboxings and reviews where a silicon case was in the box. Took them 7 weeks to reply.... I was told a case was only supplied in particular regions but they gave no reason why. And I did not receive the case I asked for.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] wpjohn13:
[MENTION=6483580]rubiicon59[/MENTION]

mine had a silicon case but no manual and no warranty leaflet. as i was told it was a chinese model flashed to european and sold to uk. no updates are available and no support as region is now messed up
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
That sucks.

Can you post your phones details: model, firmware etc.

You're in the UK too?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] wpjohn13:
[MENTION=6483580]rubiicon59[/MENTION] no im not in uk but bought it through ebay.Its an ele-l29 model and when first operated it, it had version 9.1.0.102 C900 and with the help of [MENTION=5482623]SilviuO[/MENTION] managed to upgrade it to android 10 (after brick and installing back and forth several versions).

I even took it to local huawei official support center which confirmed it was a chinese model sold to uk and are forbidden to touch it, they can support only European models. Only way to be "fixed" is by unlocking bootloader which is not possible at the moment (maybe never). Im guessing ebay seller got it through chinese seller/site (aliexpress or something similar) and sold it to me so i would suggest dont buy from any chinese site claiming "global" version as its probably a C900 region which cannot get updates and possibly not under warranty. You can always ask before buying imei and serial number to check online. Phone its working fully but with a note of "non official version" at notifications
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
Your situation isn't as bad as I thought. At least your phones working and usable. Ive heard plenty of ebay tales with vendors selling on phones without fully disclosing all the details, but you seem to be saying you knew the details before purchase?

Does it mean that you're now stuck at whatever 10 version you're on with no possibility of updating?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
There are ways of updating manually but they wipe the phone.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] wpjohn13:
[MENTION=6483580]rubiicon59[/MENTION] well i was persistent asking about warranty but seller didnt confirm but only was giving neutral answers and never disclosed from where the phone was purchased. Serial number was visible from photos so i check the number online which didnt have any result about warranty so i thought maybe needs to be activated first so i bought it. When arrived thankfully i was recording the whole procedure of examining the package and opening it where i noticed irregularities. As [MENTION=3062993]carbonize[/MENTION] said can be updated using "dload" method but it will always wipe the data on the phone. So you either will stay at specific version or each time you will need to backup/restore after each successful update (if you update using wrong firmware can be also be bricked)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rubiicon59:
[MENTION=3062993]carbonize[/MENTION]

So, not like an OTA? Manually updating wipes everything, same as a factory reset, yes?

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------

@wpjohn13

Dodgy seller huh. Yeah I get now that you can update but its a bloody hassle having to reinstall your entire setup each time. And yeah the chance of bricking it is daunting too.

Check, check, and check again before updating I guess.
