Cannot Unlock Bootloader

thank

savagecube said:
I just got 2 of these phones and they have locked bootloaders. The MiFlash app tells me my account does not have unlocking permissions, so it directs me to a Chinese webpage, to get the permissions I suppose. After the first few pages of input, all it does is tell me that my email is already being used. I would create another Mi account to try but I don't have spare phone number. Is there any hope for me to start flashing roms?

Yeah that's what I did in the OP. I guess I'll just wait till I get a new number next month and try with a new Mi account.

New versions are locked.
You have to apply for unlocking which is random and probably a dead end.

Same here!

GUIDE: Obtain your bootloader unlock code from Huawei

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:

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?

Yes, if the phone breaks due to something you flashed, etc.

So, has anyone gotten a response?

Any

Don't give up guys. Just keep emailing Huawei twice a day until they relent. :silly:
I could seriously use some help with the work on getting root and flashing roms from other regions!

Any updates? Anyone else get a code?

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 !

If your friend has L29 with unlocked bootloader, I desperately need your friend's help. Can you get me in touch with him?

I sent him your message, he is also a dev. His name is @Tkkg1994 (superman rom, kernel etc.. on S7 and Hydra Rom & kernel on N7) you can also contact him on telegram with @Tkkg1994. Most probably he is under the radar trying to work on it as we speak.

Product ID Generator

Product ID Generator
Hi everyone, in case anyone of you want to unlock your bootloader now that the page is back up, you know that you'll need to get the product ID from EMUI.
if your device is bricked and you can only get to fastboot, you'll be unable to read it! I wanted to solve that problem, and that's why I've launched a product ID generator.
In order to use it, go here and type your serial number (you can read it with 'fastboot oem get-psid').
In a matter of seconds you'll have your product ID and you'll be able to unlock your bootloader!
PS: The page may be a bit slow, since the server is not as powerful as it should, I'll fix that!
I hope you find it useful.

https://www.emui.com/en/unlock_index - You'll still need an account to access it and from what I understand, it'll only be working for 60 days after it was updated(I believe it was updated 3 days ago? So about 56/57 more days.)
As for OP, is the website down right now? Was heading over to it, but wasn't able to load the page. Thanks in advanced, though!

It was, now it's working!

This is not needed to unlock phone.
Product I'd can be read from phone without this. But was only needed to use the hauwei unlock website which is no longer online.

I'm trying to put twrp on this phone, but it seems locked. Is the product ID what I need to achieve my goal? If so, can you point me in the right direction? In another thread (ongoing), someone suggested DC unlocker. Is that the only way?

No, product ID will not help you unlock your device. As of now the only way I am aware of to unlock is the paid service such as dc-unlocker.

OP5 bootloader relock and reencrypt

I've done some searching and I couldn't find any straight forward info about how to relock the bootloader and reencrypt my OP5.
I'll sell it but the buyer asked for it.
Can anyone shed some light and/or direct me to a thread I can rely on in order to do so?

if the customer wants it all stock, u can use that unbrick tool. it'll get ur device all stock again (I guess). do some research bout it before, as I'm still a newbie nd this may just seem a bad idea.
Good luck!✌?

You can have it even simpler(https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...bootloader-flash-twrp-t3704592/post79512430), but it's also a way.

how "safe" is unlocking key for bootloader

Hello there,
i hope i am in the correct section. I have purchased a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1050) and i would like to install Lineage OS to use Google/FB as less as possible. If there is a more secute OS, please let me know.
I know about hikaricalyx and techmesto, that i can purchase there a key to unlock my bootlooader. Are those two websites safe to use? I dont know what they do with my IMEI and my serialnumber. Second, can i be sure that they dont install some third party tools in my smartphone while the unlocking process?
This is still quite new for me, sorry if i ask something already asked.
Greetings.

Sadly it didnt work. But i have no problem to pay 5-10 € to buy this bootloader unlock. MY main "probleme" is, how safe to use they are. Can i be sure, that they dont install some third party software in my smartphone?
Thanks, Greetings.

Um paying would be fine, if it is a trusted source.
Look for sources which many people have vouched for it.
I wouldnt buy it but in your case there seems like no choice.

I got my bootloader unlock from hikaricalyx and its very safe and takes only few minutes to unlock the bootloader. If you are aware regarding how to unlock the bootloader then you can only apply for bootloader unlock on your own during which you will be given a command prompt tool which you need to download and run on your pc with your phone connected. This tool will then produce some numbers which you need to provide hikaricalyx and in return he will then inform you the bootloader unlock key which you need to again input in tht tool.
He will not ask for your imei number.

Hello.
I have unlocked my Nokia and installed LineageOS. I used the service from hikaricalyx and it was very easy. I got a lot of help and he was very kind. Even if my phone was unlocked and had some trouble to install LineageOS he helped me. I dont think, that the files we used to unlock my phone was corrupted.
For everyone who wants the files: These are useless for you. Every time you boot your phone, it will generate a random singature. We read this ramdom hash and he signed the unlockfiles with that hash. IF you want to install LineageOS like me, on your Nokia 6 these ~5$ are worth it.
Thank all of you who replied.
I am done with this thread, but i let it open for someone who have simular questions. Sone mod can close it if he want.
