How to unlock the bootloader of Huawei Y5 2018 (DRA-L01) without Huawei's unlock code!

​

Hello everyone, today I want to share with you a guide for how to unlock the bootloader of Huawei Y5 2018 aka Huawei Y5 Prime 2018 with codename DRA-L01.

It might work on other models too (not only DRA-L01), I don't know, I haven't tested it.

In fact, it might also work on other phones with MediaTek processors.

What you will need:

A phone (Huawei Y5 2018 or another phone with a MediaTek SoC. It has to be MediaTek!)​

A usb cable​

A computer​

Steps:

1. Firstly, you will need Python. Download it from python.org if you are on Windows, or if you are on Linux, install the python3 package from your package manager.

2. You will need to get a piece of software named mtkclient by bkerler from here. Read the README for more information for how to install it.

WARNING! mtkclient is a powerful piece of software that, if not used correctly, can lead to severe damage to your device. Be careful.​

3. Once you get it working, put your phone into BROM mode. You can do this by powering off your device first, connecting it with a USB cable to your computer and then hold volume-up and volume-down buttons (not the power button). You can make sure the computer detects your device correctly by launching

./mtk_gui

(or

mtk_gui.bat

if on Windows). Make sure mtk_gui detects your device.

4. Execute the following commands:

WARNING! This will wipe your device! Make sure you have a backup available!​

python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc
python mtk da seccfg unlock
python mtk reset

If you get an error from the first command that an 'md_udc' partition was not found, you can ignore it.

Then, disconnect the USB cable. If the phone does not boot automatically, try to power it on manually.

In this stage, my phone couldn't boot. It rebooted unsuccessfully three times and then prompted me if I wanted it to boot to erecovery.

I booted to erecovery and then a message popped up that my "hard drive was severely damaged" and a button to perform a "low-level format".

I tapped the button, it formatted the memory, and after 15 minutes of waiting the phone finally booted successfully.

Other:

If you want to root with Magisk, select the 'Keep dm-verity' option.​

If you faced FRP, boot to BROM and run:​

python mtk e frp

I recommend you to take a backup of the memory's partitions (except userdata).​

OK, this was the guide.

I hope you found this helpful.

Hello,i have an old Huwaei Y5 2017 Android 6.0 (Marshmallow),which way you suggest to unlock bootloader and which stable roms out there for update this old android versions,it can't support basic apps anymore,it's slow i need to save the phone until i get something newest.
[Huawei Y5 (2017) Guides, News, & Discussion] Vitabytes:
Because your phone has a MediaTek SoC, you can try the method above to unlock the bootloader, but be aware that this might brick your phone. You can use other paid methods, like DC-Unlocker, but I would not recommend that. Since this forum is about your device, you can search it to see if anyone has uploaded any custom ROM for it.

If you cant google a simple tutorial on how to unlock any xiaomi phone then you are better off not rooting your phone and staying off of XDA

[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] eclipsek20:
Sadly that person is most probably going to get his phone bricked and will end up paying some scam technician to do something easy for 30$, after which the person would never mod his phone again and frown upon the idea, at worst going to an iphone. I have expierenced countless stories like this one, and I think that you need to have some prerequisite knowledge in case of a ****up that will eventually happen.
[Xiaomi 12 (Global)] Bezor:
I asked me too, why the official unlock tool shows "access denied" when I press the update buttton. You can google the newest version of course, but thats not the point.

Yes, after downloading miflash_unlock-en-6.5.224.28 the tool shows an update available (7x), after pressing the update button, u get redirected to a website with access denied message. thats what the thread starter means I think.

I have used various GSI roms before. I had no SMS problem, but now I have SMS problem with all roms. SMS does not receive. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I tried:

- VoltageOS

- Elixir (13)

- Evolution X

- HorizonDroid

- LineageOS TD-based

- DerpFest

....
[Samsung Galaxy A23] EllieCat:
When did it start happening?
[Samsung Galaxy A23] sashavujacic:
I installed the Samsung original android 14 update when it was release. Then I got bored and wanted to go back to GSI. I have been trying for 1 week, but I could not find a solution.

I'm having problems even with the same versions of the roms I used before and had no problems. For example, I had no problems with LineageOS 20 before, but now I'm having problems with it.
[Samsung Galaxy A23] EllieCat:
What happens if you reflash android 14?
[Samsung Galaxy A23] vldn-dev:
i had the same problem, the latest TrebleDroid & Ponces AOSP GSI got a fix for some Samsung Devices, try flashing the newest Vendor.img from the Stockrom beforehand.

I'm using a S23 with the newest Vendor.img and newest Ponces AOSP build just fine, everything works perfectly!

[Samsung Galaxy A23] sashavujacic:
If you say original android 14, I'm using it right now and I don't have any problems.

I have the problem of not receiving SMS in almost all Android 13-14 different version GSI roms.

Thank you. Is this problem related to TrebleDroid? Do I have to do what you say, or will this problem be solved in future versions?
[Samsung Galaxy A23] vldn-dev:
lot's of GSIs build their versions on TrebleDroid.

Using the newest Vendor.img from the Stock Rom guaranteed to use the newest Firmware and Updates for the Samsung Hardware.

When I tried a GSI for the first time and still used a year-old firmware (Vendor.img), calls and SMS worked flawlessly but I did not receive any 5G network (about 3 Month ago). So patching the latest Vendor.img before you want to use a GSI is not a bad idea, so that the error reports are also accurate and up-to-date.

For me the problem was already fixed with the last version (latest Vendor.img from Stock and Ponces Version AOSP 14.0 v2024.02.27), as I don't use an A23 but an S23 I can't say the same for you.

Just try it :) i love the ponces AOSP build
[Samsung Galaxy A23] sashavujacic:
Thanks, mate. I'll write here if I have any problems. I've never done anything with vendor.img before.
[Samsung Galaxy A23] sashavujacic:
Sorry for the stupid question, but how can I find vendor.img from the stock rom? I extracted the files I downloaded to the folder. There are files such as vbmeta etc. but no vendor.img.
[Samsung Galaxy A23] vldn-dev:
There are no stupid questions ;)

Extracting the Vendor.img is a bit advanced via a tool like simg2img, there are multiple *.img files bundled inside the super.img.

Just flash the complete Stock rom and afterwards begin flashing a new recovery and the GSI, that's a bit easier :)
[Samsung Galaxy A23] vldn-dev:
when you send me your recovery.img i can prepare it with fastbootd instead of using twrp, so you can use the OTA Updates from the GSI in the future
[Samsung Galaxy A23] sashavujacic:
thanks man. my sms is working now.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] padre629:
Hi all.

Almost a year ago my beloved Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G died after a sudden screen freezing and an unusual overheating.

The phone didn't turn on after that and doesn't shows any kind of image or so.

Windows 10 recognizes it as a "QUALCOMM HS-USB" something like that. After an investigation I've found this phone to be in EDL mode. I'm unable to enter neither to Fastboot nor Recovery.

Two technicians told me this phone is unfixable, and maybe the only way to proceed is to buy a new motherboard.

I've returned to the good ol' Redmi Note 5 for a while, and later I bought a Motorola G52, clearly an entry-level phone that works very decently.

Now I have a somewhat expensive paperweight, and I want to change my current phone. I wonder what option is viable right now:

Buy a brand-new motherboard for this phone. I've found this motherboard from AliExpress ... but I don't have experience buying so "expensive" items in AliExpress. Also it's a lottery, now my "fixed" phone can fail again, or the network connectivity can vary for a reason.

Buy a brand-new phone, I'm thinking about the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus or the Samsung A54, and leave the 11 Lite in the desk drawer for another while.

Clearly both options have a price difference.

Does anyone has experience with this?

I just want a sincere opinion in this matter.

Greetings from Colombia.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] khusika:
I would prefer to buy a new device rather than replace the motherboard which is quite expensive.

If you are interested in custom ROM development, I suggest before purchasing make sure the community is active on this forum. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro will probably be more popular than the Pro+ series on this forum.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Aar0nCruz:
Hello, I'm from Mexico, so I bought this mi 11 lite 5g dead in Facebook marketplace, it cost me like 20 usd, all funcional but the motherboard needed reballing, so I decided to look at the sales at AliExpress, I used to buy my phones there. So my motherboard cost me 60 usd, past December, I put a good thermal paste and give it a good maintenance. My phone costume less than 90 usd, everything in the motherboard works great, so keep in mind you must read all comments of people who purchase the motherboard not just this model, the comments un general of the store. So you can pick a good dealer.

Good luck
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] padre629:
Mmmmmm, sounds nice. Can you give me the link of the motherboard?

I remember a recent search of a similar price, but the shipping cost was somewhat expensive (almost the same as the motherboard itself!), at least in my case (I live in Colombia).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Aar0nCruz:

Sadly I see it expensive, cost 30 usd more

I don't know if shipping cost will help but that's the store where I bought it
[OnePlus 12] Radulfr:
I just installed twrp on my op12 and I accidentally rebooted into safe mode and disabled all my modules and it removed about 2/3 of my home screen apps that I had set up because (I'm assuming) lucky tool was disabled and I had it set to 5x8 layout and in safe mode it reverted to stock numbers. Once I re-enabled the modules and rebooted my home screen was still messed up. Will backing up and restoring all data in swift backup for the system launcher save my layout? Or is it saved somewhere else?
[OnePlus 12] cd993:
Neo Backup works nicely (swift backup too, I think). Just restore then force kill the system launcher, then return home and it should have restored the layout
[OnePlus 12] Barsky:
Settings, Additional Setting, Back up and Reset, Back up and Migrate, Local Backup. This must be Oneplus' addition, like the old backup app they had when I had my 7 Pro. It backs up settings and the home screen.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hemendra05:
Hi!

The radio ROM provides improvements on the GSM radio stack and this has effect on the GSM signal, AT command interface, GSM data modem (3G, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, etc...) functionality that is controlled by the Radio Interface Layer (RIL)

Please go trough this page you have plenty of information related to all Hermes related queries one may have.. Hope it will be useful for you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
Just remember though that if something stuffs up while flashing the radio rom, you are pretty much gonna end up with a brick... You may be able to use the PDA functions but phone will be gone forever...:(

same problem

I have a dopod 838 pro. Hardspl by olipro. Flashed roms with manilla 2d and right now suffering the same problem like kahwah..

Tried already the method of flashing original rom then to the cooked rom but still the same problem persist.

Can someone give me an idea on what to do next..

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] g_nobre:
Hi, I have to use a specific app that requires both timezone and date/time verification to be on Auto on Android 6 or up (won't work on Android 5 which would be stock). My device is a galaxy j3 2016. I've tried downloading a couple custom roms but they all seem to be based on LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7), where the Auto timezone feature is broken. Any custom roms not based on LOS I could download to use? It could be either Android 6 or 7 based as far as I know. If the auto timezone feature is confirmed to be working, even better. Thanks in advance!

<Mod Edit> Removed inappropriate languages

Yep, I created this account way back in 2018, but I'd been a leecher since 2015. Those were the peak moments of XDA. I think the reason is that back then, Android really needed to be modified to unlock the full potential of devices, but newer releases now are good enough.

The threads that exist today are mostly just about wallpapers, but yeah, I agree.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] khusika:
@AiTakako @customized.ph

Android modding has changed a lot now. It's not like before that we are free to change the system without being limited by Android and Linux Kernel. Data encryption, SElinux and even OEMs are now giving Android users more restrictions on reverse engineering. That's why Android user behavior is more different now. Besides that, Android development from sources is now easier to do than reverse engineering, because resources are easy to obtain (such as servers) and the community is wider than in the past. Even this forum now has many similar competitors out there if you look closely.

If you pay attention again, the XDA Forum is one of the largest Android forums and currently has many sub-forums for each device (increases every year) and not all of them can answer problems that arise at that time. User activity can also be based on the type of device you choose. Based on my experience, devices with mid-range specifications will be more popular than high-end devices like what you are currently experiencing.

Last but not least, if you feel that your desires are not fulfilled on this forum, it does not mean that you can freely show your lack of respect to other people. Remember, all of us here must comply with the XDA Forum Rules.

If you have a CN version with hyperOs, unlocking the bootloader with the official and free method is no longer possible for foreign nationals.

This is a government decision and not Xiaomi's.
