I'm on QAA and just rooted it. I'm guessing that the boot loader is still locked and nothing works. I've heard people say that the OEM unlock would unlock the boot loader but I don't believe that is the case.
Anybody??

Recover program? This phones bootloader is unfortunately still locked and will probably never get unlocked. Only root is achievable right now...
That's what I thought. I had read a thread here somewhere that they thought the OEM unlock unlocked the bootloader.

where?found it and share to us。
I called Sprint tech and they told me it was for security to keep someone else from returning your phone to stock settings. When I went to the boot loader the highlighted area seemed to bounce around between the options. Here's the link to the conversation.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/oem-unlock-developer-options-t3328414
I've come across this blog: "unlockbootloader .org/tutorial/nokia-6"
It's looked okay but I still very doubt it. This kind of question doesn't received an answer on Nokia phone sub-website, runs by HMD, so I'm posting here.
Also, are there any work around with this phone or you and me will have to wait HMD move first?
Thanks.
I might have misunderstood something, but isn't the bootloader unlockable directly from developer options?
Clicking it gives an usual warning why you shouldn't do it, and asks confirmation. I haven't actually proceeded further because I have no need to unlock it currently..

Yes, you're misunderstood this thing. The unlock bootloader option is there in developer options and there that's too in fastboot, it'll give you a FAIL error message if you choose it.
If you weren't interested in unlock Nokia 6, why are you comment on this topic?
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader without the unlock code coming from Huawei itself?
I want to unlock the bootloader. Many pages on the web (and on this forum as well) say I need to get the unlock code from huawei, but... it seems that huawei is not collaborative any more: Honor/Huawei’s bootloader unlock page disappears with no explanation
Can I work it out without the code?
Actually, what I really want to do is...
Actually, what I really want to do is...: install a different firmware.
I'm a real noob in the world of modding & custom rom.
As far as I understand, unlocking bootloader is required in order to install a different ROM: is it right? or can I install it somehow even with bootloader locked? Also, can I root the P8 without unlocking the bootloader?
My P8 is on the latest firmware I recently received OTR from Huawei: GRA-L09C02B405. The phone is starting to have some problems: hight battery drenage, UI freezing and rebooting from time to time.
I'd like to install a previous version of Huawei official firmware, or different a custom ROM (I read about some of them in this forum: any suggestion?). But as far a I understand, unlocking bootloader is required, and it seems that without the code from Huawei I'm blocked
Ik zit met de zelfde vraag, ook mijn P8 kan ik niet unlocken website van Huawei met deze optie is verdwenen.
I have the same question, also my P8 I can't unlock Huawei's website with this option is gone.
You now have to contact Huawei and request it, providing IMEI, SN, Product Code, Model, and reason why you wish to unlock it.
Here is a link to contact the UK (most people say this is more successful than others) :- https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/contact-us/
Thanks @Sparkrite, I will try that way.
Can you help me also with my second post in this thread? I mean, do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a custom rom and / or to root the phone?

For both, yes, you need to unlock your phone. For rooting, you have to flash a new boot.img, and for a custom ROM you have to flash the system.img too.
Without the unlocked bootloader you are unable to flash the images /partitions

For both NO, however it tends to be a bit easier if the bootloader is unlocked. Some third party rooting apps may or may not work, depending on what version OS you have installed, without changing the recovery partition.
However it is usually easier to root by flashing with TWRP etc. which necessitates an unlocked bootloader to allow you to flash the said recovery.img and then flashing SU.zip for example.
The same goes for flashing a system.img ( does not need an unlocked bootloader ) eg. use fastboot mode and an ADB shell or even DLOAD if it has the correct signatures. The caveat is that most if not all custom ROMs use a proprietary boot.img so an unlocked BL will be required in this case.
Hope that clears it up for you.

I asked Huawei for the code, now I'm waiting for reply.
So, if I understand correctly, even without unlocking bootloader I should be able to flash a previous version of an official firmware, ain't it? I can consider that option if I don't get the code from Huawei
Thanks a lot, you are being really helpful
Bootloader unlocking is not needed for upgrading official firmware, unfortunately, normally it is a completely different matter when trying to downgrade .

So, it seems that I really need Huawei help to do something more or less useful for me. They made something such a "unhackable" phone which can be hacked only with their support. And more or less every other vendor I assume.
Quite weird I think.
AFAIK Huawei are/were the only vendors that made it so easy to unlock the BL, esp. when their code generator was online.
Have you heard back from them yet, some people report getting the code within 12 hours ?

I got a first mail the day after I wrote, with them asking to add the reason for the code request.
This morning I answered them them that I wanted to play with root rights & custom rom, and that I was aware of the risks implied.
now (6 hours later) they sent me the code.
Quite a good support I'd say

Yes indeed, the reason why, as I said in my first post, wonder why they're interested ?

i'm struggling with the same issue. UK support doesn't want to give me the unlock code even if my P8Max is blocked on all google related stuff. I can't even get Google services
after the last OTA update ( DAV-703LC233B226 ) installed anymore. But still they persist that I should send back the unit ...
You can unlock your bootloaders by using DC Unlocker.
I'm searching all over the internet for a method to root this damned phone. All of the thread that i saw mention to unlock the bootloader but, apparently, there was an official method before but now it's not available anymore. I'm struggling to find even the drivers for this phone. There is an updated guide?
I am also suffering bro. please inform if you get to know anything about unlocking bootloader of this phone for free.

I'm also struggling. I have one of these and I'm not sure if DC-Unlocker still works or not, because I'm having issues with the correct drivers. I have the right drivers for fastboot, but not for regular adb mode. The phone always registers as CDC Serial
HI, this question has probably been asked many times. But still, I want to root my Redmi 3s (MIUI 10.2.1.0) and all the guides I found are pretty old, they're at least 2 years old and I am not sure if they are still working.
I have already unlocked my bootloader. My touch screen is not working fully so I want to avoid as much trouble as possible. Can anyone guide me or give me link to a sure way of rooting without bootloop problems. I know I ask a lot but I really need it to recover my old files. Thank you.
EDIT : Managed to root it.
