I searched and see some people are having the same problem as I do.
My problem, I can not get my ATT galaxy S4 SGH-I337 to unlock. I tried the free method. I bought code, two places, got the same code. But no luck on unlocking this bad boy. Anyone figured out how to unlock it yet? What can I do?
you mean SIM unlock, yes? cell un locker.net worked for me, as did free method. i was going overseas, tried free method which worked with t-mob in USA, but wanted the code just to be safe.
You could use the search function and read the threads that are just like yours: "how do I unlock when free version fails" type thing.
Yes it takes a few minutes to review the first few pages of the general and QA forums, or to use the search function, but I promise you that others have already posted solutions that worked for them.

unable to unlock galaxy s4 i337 ATT
Thanks for all the replies. As I have said, I tried the free ways of unlocking and the buying the code way to unlocking. But still no luck. I can not get it to sim unlock. Anyone having this problem?
Did you try fastgsm.com 15 dollar cable (usb power cord) unlock..worked like a charm for me when I was in the same boat your in

I'm the same boat here bought the code (2 places same code), code will not unlock, now I'm on CM10, but I can not find anywhere that ROM version makes a difference to unlocking did not with teh Atrix and S3 I unlocked. Still kind of stuck, Maybe is it is the F3 modem or something else, really just do not know or understand why I'm encountering issues since other than this thread everyone seems to be having no issues.
Thanks,
ERIC

It works, you missed a step somewhere, try once again. It is the US version you have correct?
Need held unlocking sgh-i337m Telus version
I am new at this. First post ever.
Followed the instructions here to free unlock my phone
Went through the steps twice and did not unlock my device.
So I thought I did something wrong so I went to try one last time. However this time the phone won't allow me past the 1st step.
I enter: *#0011#
Then menu back
Then menu input 1
And at this point the phones restarts. It won't allow me to the full service menu.
Can someone help me please.
The phone is brand new and at one point the was a Samsung update the was downloaded and installed. Don't know if this download changed the system and access to service menu
For some people it fails doing the free method even though they followed it correctly and jt messes up something internally that prevents even the official code from working. The only work around to unlocking it at this stage is via a service called FastGSM from what I've read.

fastgsm cable does not work if your baseband version ends in anything later than ME1. Mine is MF3 and I did not understand this until after I bought the software for USB cable unlock from fastgsm. I have not found any method that will work for me so far.
This is old, but I just want to say that usb cable unlocking worked for me where others failed
Not this one
I spent hours searching forms, for me too non of the free methods worked, until I combined some of them and made a thred, this will work, I just did it myself

I've emailed for my PLK-L01 and I've got the following answer :
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Sorry that there have no bootloader unlock code for PLK-L01 items.
By default , you can do fastboot downloading for some images directly without Unlocking bootloader..
We suggest you'd better not root your device which would avoid the warranty and maybe cause it freeze.
Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Best Regards.

So, I've tried to flash TWRP recovery without the unlock procedure.
Unfortunately, after running the "adb reboot bootloader" command, I've got a white screen with "PHONE Locked" written on it.
No need to say, that therefore, I can't fastboot download...
Try sending request to their China email: http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/contact-us/index.htm
But what CAN be fastbooted? Thats a nonsense anwer from the support :thumbdown:

I have successfully unlocked PLK-L01 using that tutorial.
I then successfully bootlooped it into TWRP.
And there it will remain until I can get hold of an original ROM, I suspect

I had the same issue.
I solved this by doing this :
- Just after the small phone vibration at start of reboot, press and hold the volume down key.
- You should enter now into into bootloader (and not recovery).
- Download the archive here: http://d-h.st/R6lD
(it's from this tutorial http://www.gizdev.com/rooting-huawei-honor-7-unlockbootloader-root-install-twrp-recovery/#)
- Flash the recovery stock rom provided in this archive (via "fastboot flash recovery <stock_rom>" command).
- Reboot. Normally, you should have boot on stock recovery now.
- Press reboot and you're back in your main system !
Hope it helps.
I was able to unlock the phone with the stock recovery and then I flashed again TWRP the phone starts, but if I try to go into recovery mode the phone goes into bootloop and I have to restart back...how did u root the phone?

Note: This applies to the Chinese version. It might also apply to the international version, but since I don't have an international Mate 9, I can't be sure. I just got my unlock code from Huawei the very hard way, so hopefully this guide will make it a little easier for everyone.
UPDATE: Because Chinese text is not displaying correctly in XDA, please see here for the tutorial:
http://pastebin.com/RYSvQq21
Thanks button presses are always welcome. Donations are even more welcome. I've spent tons of time working on this phone! PM me if you want to send a few bucks my way.
AGAIN, THIS APPLIES TO THE CHINESE VERSION (MHA-AL00) APPARENTLY IF YOU HAVE THE MHA-L29 YOU WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL CONTACTING HUAWEI EUROPE
Just running through the process now - Thank you for all your help, you are a star.
I sent an email to get my code to unlock the bootloader, now I'm waiting. Thanks to you
Hello,
Does unlock the bootloader with a Huawei official code cancel the warranty of the phone?

No harm in trying.
So, please, I hope to hear more reports. I REALLY hope that someone with MHA-L29C900 or MHA-L29C432 can get their codes soon, and help with the oeminfo collection.
@duraaraa
can you please update the title of the thread to mention this is for the L00 as some people sometimes don't read well the first post lol.
As for the L29 it's much faster apparently, we just need to call Huawei in the country where you bought the phone, then they will send it to you in 3-4 days.
I have a friend who asked for it yesterday, an got it today. I will be calling the today again just in case to be sure to get it.
Thanks !

After getting permission, you cannot unlock your bootloader immediately. You have to wait a bit, say, 1 week before you can unlock.

Nope. So I got the phone. Created the miui profile, saw the Chinese apps and decided to find a way to get ride of them. Found out 2 days later that I need to unlock, applied for unlocking. 3 days later got permission. 2h later unlocked via unlocking tool. This was 8 months ago
Now I've noticed that you need to enable oem unlocking in the dev options, before going into fastboot to unlock
But one more thing comes, that I did and that's fully entering all the info on my profile (security questions etc)
And yes my miui account is bound to this phone, when I install miui it doesn't even ask for a account just a password
Finally unlocked it today.

Did anything special? And how much days it take?? And u were trying daily?
Have been reading a lot about this and have tried every method explained. My conclusion is, it's based on luck. XIOMI screwed the b/l unlocking method like many things and you need to be lucky to smoothly unlock it.
I assume you have already followed every single rule like waiting for some days before trying and connecting the phone and unlocking tool with same account, disabling lock screens or that find device thing they say and many others with no luck.
I believe since redmi 3s is a dual sim so if you are using another simcard your best bet is to try making a new account with that number and try the whole process again. About waiting... well, many have been waiting for months, so don't much from waiting and retrying luck.
Hopefully we will get some unofficial unblocking method someday, like note 3 has.

Please tell how you were able to unlock. Were you on global stable? Which trick worked for you?
I have a Special Edition (pro prime 152mm) with the Special Edition Dev ROM.
I got the unlock approval 8 days ago, I can locate my device using MI account but the binding doesn't work. (Settings>Additional settings>Developer Options>Mi Unlock Status>Add account and device) Please retry within 1 or 2 minutes again and again and again...
I tried the tool in version 1.0.1225.2, 1.1.03171.1 and last 2.2.406.5.
Still no binding possible.

1 day before? Then wait a week before trying to bind device and unlock your bootloader.
My BL is not unlocking as the account is not binding in the dev setting>unlock status and therefore unlocking stops at 99%.
If anyone facing the error 86012 had later unlocked their BL later, please tell us clearly what did you do. "I just need to know that is there someone who had unlocked without binding their account."

BRAND NEW TABLET, 30 MIN. of screen ontime.
I NEED HELP...
I've read countless threads on what to do and nothing is working.
I installed DC-Unlocker to unlock bootloader, they stated it would cost 4 credits/euros, which every post that suggested DC-Unlocker on this subthread mentioned, but now they are asking for 15 credits/euros.
I followed Rooting new Nougat version post number 5...
I typed the first step to reboot bootloader which reset my tablet, but the second step, flash recovery twrp.img gives me an error
Following these instructions...Root Success, I cant unlock bootloader through Huawei website. Every link i tried for Huawei registration asks for a cell phone for verification, and i don't have a Chinese based cell phone.
Following this program SRK TOOL FOR HUAWEI I have to again register on Huawei website, which i cant.
Does anybody have a suggestions? any written guides? anything for me to follow?
I would much rather return this tablet then spend 15 euros to unlock bootloader.
Why cant it be as easy as my old Samsung devices? Odin was a breeze compared to this.
What am i missing?

I did it! I paid this other guy do login to my computer with my tablet attached and he provided my bootloader unlock code. I then unlocked bootloader and rooted. Not quite easy but doable.

Can vouch for ministryofsolutions as of June-2019. $4 and unlock took about half an hour, think he was having issues with his connection but in the end got the unlock code and used it with success. Had to backup data with HiSuite prior to that though as unlocking, of course, wipes it all.
