BTV-W09 Bootloader Unlock + EMUI 5 = No Workie - Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers

I had to RMA my tablet due to a screen issue. I cannot get the new tablets info to give me an unlock code via the form. Has anyone else had this issue? I have checked several times and the model/serial/ID are correct. Always get message below:
Please make sure the verification code and model number are correct. If your device has multiple IMEIs or MEIDs, please try another IMEI or MEID.
The only strange thing is that I have to select Before EMUI 5 in order to see WiFi tablet.
Should I try to down grade to 4? (Is that even possible?)

Fixed it. It does not work when upgraded to EMUI 5. The calc actually gives the wrong product id... Downgraded and worked fine.
Just a reminder as it took me a while to finger it out. You have to turn the tablet to see the () characters.

I unlocked mine using DC-Unlocker

IDK my **** is bricked. I highly recommend you leave it alone and use it as is. This tablet has the unique ability to destroy fastboot.

Factory image 5.0 is out.

On the official google page. I'm a newbie and can't do outside links.

Only WiFi out so far it seems..
Am I blind, or did the Google Now launcher disappear? (I set up as new device, as I have both WiFi and LTE, and couldn't see which were which) I thought you just start Google Now and choose to use as launcher (so I can swipe from left to access Now) Someone please remind me?
Otherwise seem smooth (based on all of 5 mins usage. Used latest preview before)
Bah! I had to install Google Now Launcher...

I guess they chose to have users install the Launcher from the Play Store. I was scratching my head for a minute also.

Booting it now, glad someone said something, was wondering what was taking so long.
Mine has taken at least 20 minutes at the initial boot (spinning colors) screen. Anyone else taking very long?
Help!
On wugfresh when i enter the md5, it says mismatch, how do i fix this? Can you post the hash here? I tried the one for razor several times but to no avail.

I'm running Scott's build and it has root so yeah it's doable, just don't know how to do it on the factory image.
Root
Is there a stable way to root the official factory image of lolipop? Can I just flash something in recovery like the past? I am not sure what the word is on rooting now that the official images are out.

No and yes. You need it unlocked to install the image and they recommend locking it when done but you're not going to want to. It returns it to stock Lollipop so no root.
SuperSU 2.19 beta is working fine for me.

Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure it won't relock bootloader but it will lose root.

Looking for someone with International/Non-Chinese Mate8 who can help.

I have recently found a way to access all versions of Mate8 firmware for the Chinese model. I found the unreleased B163 version (OTA Update only right now.)
I am hoping that someone who has a non-Chinese model, L29 or L09, with bootloader unlocked, can get in touch with me to help me get the information needed to access these files. I will need about an hour of your time, your computer, and your phone. Please send me a message if you can help.

If by erecovery you mean the original emui recovery, no i cannot. It try to install one and obviously dont find any so i have the message like "please download update file".
Just wanted to update everyone.
I had a couple people willing to help, which I am grateful for. But unfortunately, it turns out that eRecovery is not possible with the L29. My hope is that perhaps L09 has working eRecovery but I think it's unlikely.
So in summary, I no longer require this help unless someone is able to get either eRecovery or an OTA update working on their international versions.
I'm very happy to announce that I have found some firmware for the non-Chinese version. I will update about that soon
So what I've found is VERY old version, B056, for L09 model. This is before release, before NXT name when it was codenamed X100. I think it's pretty useless, but here's download in case someone wants it.
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G984/g77/v34224/f1/full/update.zip
I will continue looking. I think I'm close to a breakthrough right now.

What's kind of your brick ?
I just got brick, I couldn't' fastboot system , but I fixed it by restore backup from TWRP.
I flashed a very old firmware version when investigating how OTAs work. It bricked my phone.
The result is screen never comes on, but I can access via fastboot. Hisuite software won't repair my phone, and I can flash whatever I want with fastboot, but nothing boots up, the screen never comes on.
Probably, I'm done for a while unfortunately. I am going to try to have Huawei service it in China somehow... but it will take a while.

Sorry to ear that i hope you'll be able to retrieve your phone asap with no or less possible charge.
aw crap, very sorry to hear this @duraaraa. good thing about this though: its likely huawei wont bother to try and bring it back to life, but rather just send u a replacement, thus no risk of them finding out about unlocked bootloader, etc

Unable to get unlock password

Hi guys, I just purchased my M3 from Amazon US, and then I realised that the 5G WiFi access has been disabled.
I found it's able to enable it via root the device and modify the system file. Before I root the device, the password is needed to unlock the boot loader, so I login EMUI website and filled in with all device info, but it alerted me with an error "Please make sure the information you entered is correct".
Currently, my M3 is running on B351, EMUI 5.0, Android 7.0.
Is there anyone can help me sort this out? Really appreciate your help on this matter. :good:
The serial number and product ID info have been partially clipped out.
View attachment 4360139
This is maybe caused due to selecting "before EMUI5.0" which is intended for the EMUI4 ROMs based on Android 6.
The code section doesn't work. You'll find a few references to it. The CN page doesn't load either.
Now I registered and it keeps saying mke sure the info is correct. It is correct but won't go through
dc-unlocker is the easiest way to go if you ask me. I nearly completely screwed up my m3 trying to downgrade, but am not mostly all good (with root)

Need Help Rooting US varient BTV-W09 running Nougat

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?
Wait a second you already unlocked you BL, why do you need to do it again ? And have a look here,, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-greatslon-mod-t3489232 ..

I'm in the same boat. A year later I am trying to get DC Unlocker to read my bootloader code but there is no tap for that in the latest app!
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.

It was indeed. He has to login to your computer remotely but he's legit. I'd pay him to do it again.

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.

getting bootloader code hash?

Hi,
Since Huawei closed giving away bootloader codes,
and I've blowed 60 USD on dc unlocker,
is there a way to get the bootloader code hash to decrypt it with hashcat, for example?
Best Regards,
Aleksander
Don't know about that but do you want to unlock your bootloader?

Downgrade as low as possible and give it a try.

Edit:
First Download This -> SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader: A simple tool for managing Huawei/Honor devices to unlock bootloader (github.com)
then grab unlock.py from haexhub and replace it. Then its a 'All-in-One Package' - no need to install anything.

THANKS A LOT M8!!!!!!!!!!!
I've started the program but i am just curious how many different codes/how many attempts can there be in total?
Thats a good question, im sure u can find the answer in one of the 2 repos. One is endless (pure bruteforce) vs IMEI + HASH.
I'm still too lazy to Downgrade my Phone to give it a try (with out rebooting every 4 attempts), because no clue if its worth all the effort, as Huawei modding / hacking seems like almost dead.

Ok thanks I've started the brute force the day same as u shared the github links and it's still on attempt around 97k so I'am still trying...
But do u know if it's possible to copy the WHOLE boot partition without unlocking bootloader?
Oh wow! Didnt expect that it might take this long.
And no, sorry. But i doubt that its possible, otherwise some sneaky hackers would found that gloryhole already.

I have just successfully unlocked the bootloader lock by the Taobao service CNY30. It is done by PC remote control. My P10 phone (VTR-AL00) was firstly downgraded from my EMUI 9.1 to EMUI 5. Then the operation was very fast (ROM firmware loading time was long) & I can't see clearly. At last it was successfully unlocked & the guy gave me the unlock code also. If you guys want to do this, you need to ask a friend who know Chinese writing to chat on the net. Then I upgraded the phone using Huawei official upgrade from the phone to EMUI 9.0. Then I flashed the openkirin ROMs successfully. I've tried all four ROMs (RR, OMNI, AOSP, AEX). All of them have some bugs. One important one is the phone can't be charged when powered off. It will go to bootloader mode when plugged with the charging cable. You need to charge when the phone is on.
Install testpoint drivers ( https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/18B15B9D02C945A79B1967234CECB423 - these worked for my p10 lite), enter download mode via testpoints then use PotatoNV - https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV , i just did this two days ago then installed twrp and rooted with magisk, fairly simple and insanely useful, only drawback is you need to open up your phone back cover to do it. Works without downgrading on Emui 8
THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT <3
I've succesfully opened my phone with dc unlocker
You may want to try the testpoint method. Worked like charm for me. Check potatonv git and YouTube..
Once we find the code, bootlocker unlocking factory reset it?
