[Guide]How to root Honor 7

Why rooting Honor 7?
Huawei Honor 7 is one great Chinese phone, on design and performance side I might say that one of the best. But then, like most of branded phones, it comes with its own UI, precisely Emotions 3.1. As this UI might have a few useful options, it is generally (as many others) unwanted modification of AOSP. Most of adaptions and additional applications are adapted to the Chinese taste and feels strange to westerners.
Therefore I suggest potential buyers from the West to wait for European model which is expected to be available in early September. It may come without additional Chinese applications though it keeps Emotions UI for sure. The only way to change this at least partially is to root the phone.
In the beginning I had replaced the most inconvenient essential applications like dialer, messenger and calendar with Google’s ones and had removed all Chinese apps. But later, due to really frequently OTA updates I got tired of reverting system applications, returned all Chinese, froze them and kept only 3 additional Google apps, which I removed from the system before every update and pushed them back after.
I advise you to push desired system apps as apk files with the appropriate explorer (i.e. Root Explorer) rather than flash zip. Flashing zip according to my experience might cause bootloop (allegedly due to the inappropriate graphic parameters).
How to root Honor 7?
In the beginning I must warn you that rooting your device might be risky, especially if you don’t follow instructions. Hence, do your homework first, read everything carefully and make a nandroid after every new alternation of the system.
I’m not taking any responsibility for your device. You should be aware that it is your device and your own responsibility. I’m not a developer and therefore I might not be able to advice you if something goes wrong. I’ve just used the method described below and succeed without any issues or damage. I strongly believe that you’ll benefit from this method too If followed correctly. Do not improvise or omit any instruction.
I must apologize to not insert pictures into text, I was to short to do it in reasonable amount of time with my current knowledge. Pictures are numbered and attached.
Part 1: Unlock your bootloader
In order to root your phone, you have to unlock the bootloader first. Surprisingly, unlike in my previous cases, unlocking Honor 7 bootloader doesn’t factory reset the phone. Anyway, like always, I do not take credit for any of this material or information, so backup your contacts, texts, pictures, etc. to the computer before unlocking.
Unlocking (and relocking) procedure
Register to Huawei and obtain an unique unlock code here:
https://hwid5.vmall.com/oauth2/port...huawei.com/en/source/plugin/hwlogin/login.php
Unlock your bootloader following this procedure (Google translate from Huawei web instructions):
Step 1: Preparation Work
1. Install the phone driver is properly on a PC, driver download Huawei Terminal official website.
2. Download the ADB toolkit provided by Google and installed on your PC, such as the installation to D: \ adb_tools-2.0 directory, make sure the directory with fastboot.exe file.
Step 2: Unlock Operation
1. Put the phone into fastboot mode:
First phone off (note need to be in the setup menu, close the "Quick Start" feature, or unplug the battery after shutdown, more than two seconds and then re-inserted), and then press the power button and the volume down key (flat simultaneously Press the volume keys and power button), and maintain more than 10 seconds, you can enter the fastboot mode.
If this does not enter fastboot mode, try the following steps:
Phone off (note need to be in the setup menu, close the "Quick Start" feature, or unplug the battery after shutdown, more than two seconds and then re-insert), then insert the USB cable, followed by pressing the volume down and power button key, holding more than 10 seconds, you can enter the fastboot mode.
2. Connect your phone and a PC:
Use USB cable to connect your phone and PC, open the PC command line window, enter the ADB installation directory, make sure your phone and PC is connected, confirm method in the command line window, type fastboot devices, you can see the normal connection information, such as: 9e42530e fastboot.
picture 1
3. Perform the unlock command:
Enter the PC command line window fastboot oem unlock ****************, * No. 16 unlock code, for example: fastboot oem unlock 1234567812345678.
picture 2
4. Wait for the phone to unlock:
After entering the unlock code, the phone will automatically restart, if you enter the correct password, the phone will enter restore factory settings mode. Restoring the factory setup is complete, the phone automatically restart, enter the standby interface, complete the unlocking operation. If the user enters the password information is incorrect, the phone will prompt an error message, and enters the standby interface.
5. Test if the phone is unlocked sucesfully:
Repeat steps 1 and 2, and then enter the fastboot oem get-bootinfo, phone bootloader will display the current status information, such as the PC command line window "Bootloader Lock State: LOCKED", indicates bootloader is still locked, please re-unlock operation or confirm the password is correct and then conduct; If "Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED", means that the phone has been unlocked, you can brush machine operation.
picture 3
Note: After unlocking success, if you want to re-lock the phone, follow these steps: First, upgrade via SD card, will be restored to Huawei mobile version of the official release version; then, enter fastboot mode, the command line at PC Enter the command fastboot oem relock ****************, * No. 16 unlock code. The phone will automatically reboot, bootloader converted to "RELOCKED" state.
Part 2: Install custom recovery
All credits go to Chinese developer Wang Hao, who invented this procedure, I’m only the interpreter.
Go to the site: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=1067948446&uk=3020839592, use password: nwae and download the file. Extract and open the map: 荣耀7root工具包. Make sure that you have proper USB driver installed and ADB debugging enabled. Start command line in map 荣耀7root工具包(shift + right click of mouse simultaneously): Power off the phone and connect it with USB to the computer. On the phone pres volume down + power simultaneously. It will boot to the fastboot. Then type in the command line on the computer:
fastboot devices
if your device is recognized, type in the command line:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
when process is finished, type:
fastboot reboot
You’ll boot the system. You’ll have installed TWRP recovery in CHINESE LANGUAGE and you won’t understand anything. Luckily there is not much to understand. Configuration of the recovery is the same as in English:
picture 4
Find an English description of TWRP if you want to use more functions. For the beginning we want to root the phone so the instructions is be only about installing the SU.
Part 3: Root your phone
Copy zip file BETA-SuperSU-v2.49 from the map荣耀7root工具包 to the phone internal memory or sdcard if you have one (wherever, just remember, where it is copied) and boot to recovery: turn down your phone, wait a few secs, simultaneously press volume up and power buttons. If you can’t do it, turn phone off, wait a few secs, connect it to the computer with USB cable and press simultaneously volume up and power.
In TWRP press install (first button up and left), select zip file, where you put BETA-SuperSU-v2.49 and press the only button for installing. Then go back to the main TWRP screen, find reboot (lower right button) and boot the system (upper left button).
That’ll be all. Install Play Store from web if you don’t have it already, Busybox and one explorer with root capability (i.e. Root Explorer) for desired modification of the system. And most importantly: ALWAYS MAINTAIN AN ESCAPE LINE. DO NANDROID BEFORE ANY MODIFICATION OF THE SYSTEM.
Accepting OTA requires restoration of the original system and flashing stock recovery. Stock recovery could be flashed following procedure for TWRP flashing and could be obtained from ROM for your respective phone from the site: http://www.needrom.com/?s=honor+7&sa=search&scat=0, following procedure described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 thanks to the developer worstenbrood.
Serious advice: Don’t try to accept OTA with modified system or custom recovery installed. In first case OTA will be refused, in second case you might experience TWRP bootloop.

It's real. I did it, turned back to stock, flashed the new rom and rooted it again. I have 16 GB PLK-UL00, but the method is universal for all Honor 7 models.

Please help, the model of Honor 7 is not listed in the models so i can get the unlock code. which model should i use?

You can find your respective phone model in -settings-about phone-model number. Just register and follow the procedure at: https://hwid5.vmall.com/oauth2/port...huawei.com/en/source/plugin/hwlogin/login.php
To make procedure easier, I'm attaching the TWRP recovery img and SU zip file. If you have android platform tools already installed or can find them somewhere else, you don't need to seek them on pan.baidu.com, you can flash TWRP.img from any platform tools following the description above and flash SU.zip after from TWRP.

I'm not able to obtain unique unlock key because there is not listed our cell on that web site. in the list of all models.

OK. Let's start from the very beginning. Do you know what model of the phone you have? My is PLK-UL00 and I'm deriving instructions on this model. So: go to http://emui.huawei.com/, change language to English (picture 1). You'll get to http://emui.huawei.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload. Enter your phone model and you'll jump to the menu: http://emui.huawei.com/cn/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail (picture2). Now enter requested data. In first column choose smartphone. In second enter your model. In third the product serial number as marked on the box containing your phone. Next enter IMEI of the first SIM. Then product identification code (dial *#*#1357946#*#* and you'll get it (picture3)). Enter Captha as seen at last column and enter submit. You are done and you'll get unlock code.
Use google translate on pages to understand the text. If you are unable to follow instructions you can still write Huawei for code to email address seen in attached picture (mobile.huawei.com).
Hope I helped. Good luck

Hi,
I also had this problem - the site does not seem to list my model (PLK-AL10) on the english language one. It does list it on the Chinese one, but gives me a cryptic error and wont give me a code.
I've emailed support but no response yet.
I'll update here if I get a response from them

I tried and i don't feel that you can't obtain the unlock code. Did you register correctly? I found that your model is listed as well in drop down menu, just credentials, which logically I don't have, are to be entered.

My model is PLK-TL01H, the site doesn't seem to list my model. I've found it in chinese version, but my IMEI is not connected with my Huawei cloud account. I'll try it tomorrow again. Thanks for advice to try Chinese version of site.

I am 100% sure that i have entered the right info.
It seems that i have to send an email to Huawei support to gain the unlock code..

I'm not able to received unique unlockable code. It's because my phone number is not connected with my Huawei IMEI. I can't do it manually because in the list of countries isn't my country code and is not possible to enter my own. so I'll try to write to support. Probably I would have to try it later or another method.

Many thanks for info.
I'll write them ASAP and let you know a resolution.

Your phone is PLK-AL10. And such is listed in all forums and producer's site.

It's Chinese, the last one. I put the instruction how to handle it. As far as I know in English exist only CWM for now, but CWM appeared always less reliable in the last time.

Always nothing for plk-al10 ??

You have to use version in chinese language. For me in my country is that gateway probably blocked with my model PLK-TL01H. In Chinese version it almost worked but my phone number is not connected with IMEI of Huawei cloud because of lack of my country code in list of countries in entering form for phone number.

You have to reboot to fastboot mode, there are two ways:
First enable developer setting tapping 7 time on build number in phone's information. Open developer setting and enable USB debug.
Download fastboot driver, you can find it on Google.
Then:
1) Open CMD from fastboot folder and type
fastboot reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or turn off your phone, then press power button + volume down
2)Wait for the phone to reboot into fastboot mode
3)Type in CMD
fastboot oem unlock "your code"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4)Then you unlocked your phone and you can reboot typing:
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

for anyone having trouble unlocking bootloader for g7-L01 ive tried on two different g7-L01 and worked perfect
ive also included twrp and stock recovery too for flashing via fastboot
download these files
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/agrehokgvf3b5/unlock_bootloader
make sure usb debugging is selected by tapping on build until developer option comes available then select developer menu and turn on usb debugging
now first you need to make sure your on lollipop for serial number to show properly (doesn't show on KitKat for some reason )
now lets get started open new folder I have put on here and select huaweiproductIDGenerator
under product model select HUAWEI Y300-0100
make sure to copy product model on to notepad as you will need this
type on on phone *#06# for iemi and input it under Product IEMI/MEID:
now copy and paste product id to notepad as you will need this for later
on your phone go to settings/about phone then status and make a record of your serial number on notepad too
now go to this website and make sure you login if not then sign up http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download
now go to download then bootloader unlock it will take you to another page agree and continue
(IMPORTANT) under product model will be this HUAWEI Y300-0100
then serial number then iemi now finally input the new product id you took note of earlier and fill in verification code and then select commit.
you should now see your bootloader unlock code at the bottom.
Turn off phone then holding vol down and power until you get fastboot screen then connect to PC by USB.
Once connected open cmd and type fastboot devices to see if your device shows
Now type. fastboot oem unlock (yourunlockcode) then press enter.
By now your g7 should reset and wipe everything as it does when unlocking bootloader.
I found this guide on youtube not my work just making it a bit easier for people to understand.
hopes this helps in any way

Guide: How to bootloader unlock your Honor 7 (official and unofficial methods)

All Honor devices currently shipped with a locked bootloader. As long as manufacturers provide a way to unlock, then we're down with that - it helps keep your device secure and means that if you lose it, it's harder for people to steal your data (the process of unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone).
There are two ways to unlock your Honor phones bootloader, which will then allow you to install things like custom recoveries, custom kernels / ROMs etc. The first is using the official Honor method, which is free, and the second is using a third party, which costs €4 Euros, but may be the quickest option if the official method isn't working for you.
The official method
In order to unlock your Honor device using the official method, complete the following steps:
Visit https://www.emui.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail and either create a new account or login with an existing Huawei account.
In the form displayed after logging in, enter:
Your phone model (PLK-L01 for the Honor 7)
Your phone serial number (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
Your phone IMEI1 (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
Your phone product ID (to find this, open the dialler and enter *#*#1357946#*#*)
The captcha code
Press the 'Submit' button.
At this point you will either be provided with a code, or you will receive an error such as 'The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.' If you get the error, you will need to use the unofficial method below.
Open a command window on your PC / Mac, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the Huawei site.
YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
That's it! You're done!

}
The unofficial method
In order to unlock your Honor device using the unofficial method, if for example you receive the '14 day' error from the Huwei site, complete the following steps:
On a Windows PC, download and install DC-unlocker from https://www.dc-unlocker.com/.
On your phone, enter Manufacturer Mode - open the dialler and enter *#*#2846579#*#*. In the app that then opens, select Project Menu -> Background settings -> USB ports settings -> Manufacturer Mode.
Download the Huawei driver pack from https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/88D4A98C154D4E19AF9D4A1EF09BA620.
Install the Huawei driver pack by extracting the file you just downloaded (using WinRAR or similar) and running 'DriverSetup'
After installing the driver pack, connect your phone to the PC. In Device Manager, after the automated driver install, you should have no 'Unknown Devices'.
Launch the previously downloaded DC-unlocker application.
From the drop down lists, select 'Huawei Phones' and 'Auto Detect Model'.
Press the magnifying glass icon - the app will then search for your phone.
You should see an image like the one below showing your phone is found. At this point, press the 'Buy Credits' option to set up your DC-Unlocker account and purchase the 4 credits required for code retrieval (this will cost €4). You can also do this directly from the DC-Unlocker website.
After your credit purchase is complete, click the 'Server' section and enter your new DC-unlocker login details. Press 'Check Login' to validate the details (if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts).
Click the 'Unlocking' section, and click 'Read Bootloader Code'. Do NOT click 'Unlock'. Again, if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts. The white area of the app will now display the bootloader code. Screen grab this just in case!
Open a command window on your PC, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the DC-Unlocker process.
YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
That's it! You're done!

Did anyone succefuly try the 2nd method with a PLK-AL10 (64 GB) version?

I think it should work. Let us know if you try!

Unofficial method works for 16GB! But be very careful to click on the right button when you retrieve the Unlock Code from the DC Unlocker software.
I spent an additional 4 euros just to get it right the second time. You need the bootloader code unlock, not the unlock codes.
After that proceed to this link to root the phone. Works even when you have the latest B180 EMU rom too!

same with me..haha

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I read it on the official Huawei site, they will drop the warranty if I ask them for the unlock code. So my question is, if I unlock my device using the second method, will Huawei know that? DC Unlocker get the code from Huawei? And can I relock the bootloader to get OTAs and unlock it again using the code that DC gives me?

Click to expand...

YES, they will be able to see that! And no, if you relock your device it is relocked and not locked! You will have a notification about that if you are in fastboot mode! Maybe that HUAWEI deny there warranty but you should have 2 years EU warranty anyway. And last but not least: no risk, no fun!

Probleme to unlock
Problem to unlock because when i'm loggin on it he sent me on a new page of emui 5.0..

Im get stucked on step 12. Dont find adb
I got a chinese honor 8 (FRD-AL00) and im having problems with the official update (FRD-L19C432B131).
It seems that the updates outside China corresponds to other version. Phone has multiple restarts ans errors.

Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu. ( my Honor 8 no have the option in developer )

is there a way to make it so some stuff stays and not everything gets wiped. also im gonna use this but i dunno what im gonna do after to root.
so can someone give me a link to a guide.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I read it on the official Huawei site, they will drop the warranty if I ask them for the unlock code. So my question is, if I unlock my device using the second method, will Huawei know that? DC Unlocker get the code from Huawei? And can I relock the bootloader to get OTAs and unlock it again using the code that DC gives me?

You do get OTAs. There arw lot of confusion on this but yes you get for sure.

How can I unlock bootloader on my Honor 7S ( DUA-L22 ) for free ? Thanks for help guys

I tried method 1 and contacted Huawei mobile services but they told me that the botloader unlock service has been stopped on 25th of July 2018!
Anyway method 2 worked like a charm, thanks a lot for the Guide

It is still doable for free for phones with rollback to Android 5.x available (The Kingroot way). I just did it on my old Honor 7 (PLK-L01).

There is nothing wrong with your account,
the KEY FACTOR of successful bootloader unlocking is to have the device MIUI version match your device MIUI version on Xiaomi server
If the MIUI version on your device and Xiaomi server are not the same it WILL NOT WORK
Since Xiaomi servers are not (and probably will not be) updated with the correct details of your device, you have 2 options:
1. Your device MIUI version is shown under your avatar on MIUI forum, your are lucky - flash that same version and follow the steps above with the right ROM file
2. Your device MIUI version is not shown under your avatar on MIUI forum - flash DEV ROMs in ascending order, from low to high, untill you'll have a match
Xiaomi doesn't really wants you to unlock the bootloader, it is why they make it so difficult
they have deleted my thread and I know of at least 4 devices who got unlocked with the method above
don't waste your time on MIUI forum so called "toturials", thier whole purpes is to give you a false understanding the fault is on your side and eventually to make you give up
all they say is to wait, wait and more wait - I have waited for 2 months
Good luck!
I'm quite surprised this thread have so many views but so few comments

switch off "find me" on device
delete device from i.mi.com
sign out your MIUI account on device
login i.mi.com and make sure your device had been deleted, if not, delete it, log off and log back in, confirm the device is not on the account
do a full ROM flash of your ROM with MiFlash 2016.08.30.0
cleanboot device and switch off "find me"
***very importent - hard reset the device - Settings>Additional Settings>Backup & Reset>Factory Data Reset>Reset Phone
setup your Mi Account (I used mobile number)
go to Settings>About phone and tap on "MIUI Version" 7 times to enable "Developer Options"
go to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer Options, enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB Debugging"
connect device to the computer and authorize USB Debugging on the device

power off the device
boot the device into fasboot mode - hold volume down+power

proceed with UNLOCK
I that doesn't work, I would try with latest GLOBAL DEV ROM.
if latest GLOBAL DEV ROM doesn't work, flash DEV ROMs in ascending order, from low to high, untill you'll have a match
Don't forget to do HARD RESET after every ROM flashed with MiFlash 2016.08.30.0

So you suggesting to flash all dev roms until it works? Sounds crazy, especially since the files are not small.
Any way, how to find the links for all ROM versions ?
On this link I can only found latest.

Not working.

I prefer to have it UNOFFICIALLY unlocked and end of story! (F*ck Xiaomi permission!)
On every update, I download the full update package, replace the emmc file in image folder and BINGO!
For reference, and modded / unlocked emmc file:
http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html

Or even simpler, use this archive:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862693621
How to use: install mi flash if not already installed (included)
Boot to fastboot (power&Vol-), plug the phone on the PC, run the file edl.cmd from the folder fastboot_edl, the phone will boot in edl mode.
Now flash the image with MiFlash.
It will install patched bootloader and latest TWRP ZCX, and that's much quicker than flashing a full rom (take only 10 seconds versus 200 seconds when flashing a full MIUI ROM).

Yeah this never works and MIUI has been no help on their forum either.

How to unlock Huawei P10 Lite (Android 8 EMUI 8) bootloader?

Hi there,
I am openning a new thread about this subject, because all the other threads are seem to be outdated.
I have tried below approaches:
Installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot to PC. Tried to install TWRP, but had an error because the phone is locked.
Installed KingoRoot to PC and phone. Tried to root from PC, but had an error possibly about the phone is locked.
]Installed DC Unlocker to PC and phone, paid for 4 credits. Tried to connect from PC, but unable to connect to the phone because the phone is using Android 8.
E-mailed Huawei and asked them to send me unlock code. No luck.
I have found a thread where if the phone uses Android 5.0, the owner of the thread says unlock code can be fetched from the internal files of the phone by running sudo codes from adb shell. However, had no luck downgrading the phone to Android 5.0, possibly about the phone is locked.
I appreciate if anyone can make an up-to-date suggestion.
Thank you anyways.

As far i know, there is no way to do it free. I never tested but there are sites providing paid unlock codes.
Part of them are using bug before security patches (maybe DC Unlocker too? And it's why it's not working).
The sites promise to unlock even after patches, so you can always try it. There is probably no other option, but i don't know if it works.
You can't downgrade android and do anything with phone, because phone is locked as it says - so verdict is easy - you are stuck.

Thank you for the response @Donio3d.
I have downloaded official stock rom with Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 and will try to install it via Huawei recovery (volume+, volume-, power buttons). If I could successfully install this ROM, I am expecting DC Unlocker to work because it is clearly saying on the app that it is only working with OS below Android 8.0.

Huawei recovery shouldn't let you downgrade EMUI, but try it and post results

Despite saying that it does not work with Android 8.0, I was able to successfully unlock after a few trials with DC Unlocker.

did you follow any specific guide? I want to unlock too.

I get stuck here. I think phone is not recognized properly. DC unlocker does not output any information regarding my phone. It only states that the "Application port" has been recognized, nothing else. Any ideas?

If it has found the working port and said, for example, "COM 7" that means the connection is successfull. Because of Android 8, some features of DC Unlocker is not working. You can try to get Bootloader code as soon as you get the application port.

I can confirm the procedure by yenerunver works. My phone was on the latest build: WAS-LX3 8.0.0.370(C605).
This was my output from DC-Unlocker version 1.00.1422:
Code:

As you can see, I tried detecting my phone a couple of times. And only when "Phone not found !" wasn't shown anymore then I proceeded to read the bootloader unlock code.
My suggestion is to disable HiSuite from opening upon phone connection and to close it completely so that it doesn't switch the "Manufacture mode" back to "HiSuite mode".

I'm stuck on detecting the COM port. Phone is recognized as always, then after turning on Manufacturer it shows in Windows explorer as "CD Drive" and in device manager as "WAS-LX1" tripple times and one time HDB Interface on "other devices" sections.

Do you have the latest HiSuite installed? You might want to reinstall it, the included drivers were the only ones I needed.

1 install latest hisuite
2 open developer options and enable oem unlock and usb debugging
3 open dial pad and enter this code*#*#2846579*#*# and in background settings >usb port settings enable manufacturer mode but dont go back just stick to this menu and connect to pc and open dc unlocker and it should detect your phone.
i unlocked mine with this method with same 370 version.

I'm impressed, because it actually worked... I just needed to reinstall HiSuite and buy 4 credits for 4€.

Hi
Sorry for a basic question, i am very new to all this
1) What does this method do? Does it provide you a code to unlock bootloader or do you have to already have a code from somewhere else to use this?

I have a noob question, after aplying this procedure, is there a way to unlock the device to make it work with other carriers than tho one it's blocked in?

I think you can use the option in DC that says "Read Unlock Codes" not "Read bootloader Code".
When unlocking mine, I clicked there and it gave me some unlock codes (Lost my 4€...).
Asked to DC and they said that the codes are for unlock the network of the phone.
Cheers!
