This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread.
FunkyHuawei is a (mostly) paid service which allows you to do the following:
1. Install the latest system software, even before it's released by OTA.
2. Install beta/prerelease system software, without needing to be a beta tester.
3. Recover a bricked phone.
4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)
5. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
Except for rooting, all of these features are supported even if you cannot unlock your phone's bootloader.
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-emui-6-huawei-mate-9/
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Mate 9 Device-Specific Information
The Mate 9 now has a relatively mature community with many methods to do many things.
However, there are still some things only possible with FunkyHuawei, so it would be most useful for:
1. Installing updates, especially on bootloader-locked devices, even if the update is not approved by Huawei for your device.
2. Rebranding bootloader-locked devices.
3. Restoring bricked devices.
Note that even though the Mate 10 Root tool is designed for and publicized as being for the Mate 10, it works perfectly on the Mate 9 running Android O betas.
This tool is FREE, and might be easier than installing TWRP and rooting that way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!
I am surprised how you always have the audacity to constantly advertise your paid services on here even though most of the community is obviously bothered by it.
Advertising your products is against the rules of XDA. You're just getting away with it nowadays because you're doing it indirectly. But you're not fooling anyone and we all know what you're doing. Just stop. It's annoying.
New Android O Build: MHA-L29 8.0.0.329(C432) now available for MHA-L29 European branding.
Can be installed with eRecovery on top of any Android O beta.

It is currently allowed for commercial organizations to post "support" threads so long as they don't post links to their site, behave in a spammy way or post things that are clearly not of interest or use to our users or our purpose as a site. This is of use as the info is of direct relevance and use to users. The information here is not really any more than we'd allow in a "Support" thread.
So, it's within the rule, he is providing support, he's not linking out of XDA. As with any other support thread, if for any reason it were to be abused then the article would be pulled and the thread closed.

I never said his post broke any of the rules. I do realize that it does not. If it was, I would have reported it.
I am not sure if you're a Mate 9 user, but if you do spend a lot of time on the Mate 9 forums you'd see how he is always talking about his website and how he used it to do X and Y. About how it is a solution to bricked phones and whatsoever. It is not that hard to see that he is indeed indirectly advertising for his service (and I do realize there might be no rules against that). But yeah. It is just annoying how he is always on about his website. Especially considering that the user was previously temporary banned for putting his paid service on here.

No problem. The post wasn't completely directed at you. We'd already received reports from other members so I wanted to explain to all; your post just happened to be readily available to reply to.
I understand your point and we've clarified with him what is and isn't allowed. He's promised to tone it down and to limit it to his support threads. So, as we do with all members of the community who want to contribute, let's give him the benefit of the doubt and let this thread get back on topic.

While I generally don't approve of advertising here on xda, I have to say that Funky Huawei with their unbrick tool are a life saver. As long as you can get into fastboot mode this little tool can rescue your phone. It costs a little money for their "credits" but when it comes to either having a $400 paperweight or having a working phone the process is worth it.

Hate to agree, while I don't like how they operate I have used them to save a device or two because I messed up. The eRecovery with DNS is brilliant and pretty much idiot (me) proof.

L09 is the single sim version and L29 is the dual SIM version, rebranding is not going to change the model.

Same here, this was the first and hopefully last time, if it wasn't for a corrupt system.img backup that I had I wouldn't have had to use their unlock tool, next time I flash a custom system I'm going to make damn sure my backup is flashable and not going to brick this beast
I am searching for a FRP lock removal/bypass since I don't have the original account of the phone and all I have found is clickbait and lost my time with stupid things.
If you need more info just ask and I'll give 'em to you. I don't care about the data or anything, I just want this phone to work normally and have my email on it. Right now the phone is on the "Setting Up/First Boot" phase.

I can unlock a few devices today to help out fellow members. You will need to know what baseband and firmware your on and must be Sprint Device! You will need Teamviewer, you can download at their site, but will be posting link soon. I can only do a few for now so Please don't be mad if I can't get to you or respond to your private message. Please backup your device using whatever method you want, such as Samsung Kies, Samsung Cloud Backup, etc! This is important as procedure may need for device to be factory reset!

Please PM me if you want your device unlocked. Remember, I can't possibly get to everybody and can only
do a few!

I have a Galaxy tab S6 lite that is locked by a pattern and I don't have its gmail since it was used by another PhD student at our department. Factory reset did not work since I still need gmail. I also tried flashing it by odin but I didn't find a firmware with CP file, and hence even after flashing it I still could not log in. I could not install lineage because it says "only official binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)". Perhaps to install lineage I need to activate OEM, but how could I while it locked. Do you have any suggestions on things that I could try, I am getting desperate with this! Thanks!

Yeah. Ask your department head how to unlock it.
@Fethi_02 let me remind you of the Forum Rules:
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.

Does this device belong to you? Are you rightfully in possession of it? Do you have the right to use it?
If the answer to any one of these questions is "NO", you may not use XDA to seek any more assistance on this matter, and we recommend you return the device to its rightful owner.
However....If you are in legitimate possession of this device, I suggest you contact the person you bought the phone from. Most Android phones these days have "Factory Reset Protection" which is an anti-theft measure intended to prevent stolen devices from being wiped and re-used.
Failing that, your only option is to seek an FRP unlock, or return the device and request a refund. Either way, all activities conducted here on XDA must be legal and legitimate.
Come on man.
