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?

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.

Unlocking Bootloader

I've been trying to get the code to unlock my honor v9 now for over a month with no success. At first I was able to log on to the huawei unlock page and enter the phone details, but it would tell me that the account was not active with that phone for 14 days yet.
Then recently it will not even allow me to log on. No matter what I do I cant logon.
Can someone help please?

Try creating a new account.

AARRRGGG!! I NEED ROOT!!!
Don't tell me im gonna have to sell this phone.

Interesting. See below response I got from Huawei email support re unl0ck9ng bootloader. It appears that in order to get past the 14 days error you have to log into your account everyday for 14 days. See response below:
If you would want to unlock your phone, you should meet the following conditions:
1.Please register your Huawei ID in our official website http://emui.huawei.com/en/ on your phone.
2.Log in and logout your Huawei ID continuously for 14 days.
3.Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than fifth time within 6 months.

Dear Customer,

One better my V9 is now a honor 8 pro
I successfully rebranded also. Needed my Google apps. Couldn't get them on the V9. V9 is for China and China is anti Google so they try to block Google apps on the phones for the domestic market.
Well I'm good to go now
GApps included in the H8P firmware

Not sure what you are asking. Go to the Dc unlocker website and select the option you want. Instructions are there, they have tutorial videos.

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.

bootlock not enabled what now ?

Ok i tryed to get the code from Huawei but thats a no go

Yes, you can still get the code and unlock your bootloader. But now you have to use third party software and pay some money. I got my code for 4 euros, that's about 5$.
You can find the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
You don't have to follow this guide step-by-step if you know what you're doing. And no need to download the hcu-client, as recommended by the poster. You can get your code by just using dc-unlocker.
Have a nice day!

Use the Hicare app and ask them for the code. Hicare->online assistance. I ask them if after the site shutdown they would still be possible to give me the unlock code and they said yes.

How long do you have to wait before being able to unlock bootloader?

Mine says 178 hours....wow...
When i had the MIX3 it only asks for 72 hours...

Had to wait over a week

1 Week for me. Start at 168 hrs. Mi 9T Global.

7 Days

What`s the reason for waiting so long?

Xiaomi build phones very cheaply and make money through services.
Resellers buy Xiaomi phones and flash their own apps and adware.
The waiting period is to make it harder for resellers to eat up Xiaomi's profits.

7 days for me

Can someone explain me what does unlock mean and where can I do it?

Is there a way to unlock the bootloader with adb commands in fastboot mode? Or is it absolutely necessary that Xiaomi gives a permission?

168 hrsz old account with many xiaomi devices

I have to wait 157 hours for the unlock! This is ridiculous, is it possible to cheat it?

For 9T wait time is locked to 7days/ 1week

Where do you see the timer? I started to check out how to unlock and flash EU-Rom today and I can unlock immediately. Did I miss something?
- I registered/recovered my mi account.
- Added device (developer mode and so on...)
- Downloaded unlocker (official)
Edit: Ah I see. Friend of mine has also the timer, maybe it has something to do with the account. I had an account for some home automation stuff

Did you already flash a ROM or TWRP to make sure it's unlocked?
For me it shows the timer when I try to unlock, it goes to 99% and then shows how many hours are left.
Started at 168h I think, now there's about 40 left.

Yes, I flashed TWRP unofficial 3.3.1. I wanted to flash xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20MI9T_V10.3.12.0.PFJCNXM_v10-9.zip because I am on global rom but I am curious about the "CN" in the name. I thought CN=China, MI=Gobal and EU/EEA=EU

Yesterday i applied for bootloader unlock it says 168 hrs.

dont worry about the CN.
i have flashed that rom on my mi9t, no problem.

Two weeks. **** Xiaomi.

Still waiting......
