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.

Don't try to root Nougat from Android Infotech website!

Hi all,
I receive a lot of private messages about root for Nougat from this website:
http://www.androidinfotech.com/2017/06/root-sony-xperia-xa-ultra-nougat.html
DON'T CLIC ON IT, IT'S A CLICBAIT!
I never released anything for Nougat so please don't ask me why it doesn't work, it's only a scam to win money from ads.
If you can't find my work on Xda you will not find it anywhere.

Is there now for root this phone with nougat?

Hi, technically root is possible, I have it but not released to the public. Why? Because nobody supported my work and as you can see my root guide have only 29 thanks. You will have to wait for a release from an other user or maybe if my guide reaches 100 thanks (don't count on it).

Damn...
I had TA dumped the day I got it and I am ready to root it.
Well, I have to return it because there no root on 7

DRM fix with TA dump doesn't work on Nougat, bootloop at Sony logo (tested on XA Ultra)
The only good news it that SafetyNet is OK with Magisk Manager app v5.0.4 and zip v13.1 on Nougat.

I'm not nervous but politeness is a minimum when someone spend some time for you, it's not normal to ask for any thank. I talk about my root guide (and root files). I was silly to think this, now I learned a good lesson: work for yourself and you will not have to wait for any thank.

I think the OP gave me a bad idea to go back to 6.0.
Now the phone is bricked.

Me ? I never said to go back to 6.0. Maybe it's your fault because you forgot to exclude TA parts of the firmware or you didn't used the fsc script or you used an old version of Flashtool? I downgraded/flashed my devices many times and never got any problems.

Agreed. I rolled back to 6.0 2 times without problems. Btw. I have a spare Z1 and I accidentally flashed those .ta files but they did no harm. I think they are useless even when flashed.

I successfully flashed to 6.0 (.160), but after I flashed your kernel from dev section and it has bootloop problem (from either rootpack or individual). Should I flash to earlier version? My choice is
Customized LAM (.182, 7.0)
Customized US (.182, 7.0)
Customized Peru (.160, 6.0)
Service Exchange Unit (.111, 6.0)
Please continue your work, and I always give thanks once I found it's working.
----- update -----
I sucessfully flashed to Service Exchange Unit (.111, 6.0) and everything worked as it's supposed to be, and rooted with SuperSU (but I will move to Magisk in the future)

You quoted wrong person. If you flash an older kernel over a new firmware, you get bootloop. I had that too.

I really wish I could do such coding to compile both boot and recovery because XA Ultra is really awesome, but you have to catch up with version.

Huawei Y7 2019 [DUB-LX3] Updates and custom ROMs

Hi guys,
Is there any custom ROM for the Huawei Y7 2019?. I think this phone should have a thread too.
Any news, comment or idea about when will be the EMUI 9 (Android 9: Pie) update arriving to this phone?.
Any of you guys, have already the EMUI 9 running on this model? I read that Huawei is testing/releasing this version but just in China (i dont have any idea why). An comment from you about this guys?
Thanks in advance and i hope this thread will be helpful for many of us.
Peace ✌?

No updates , not anymore, I don't think that someone will try to root this phone... Bootloader is too hard to unlock. So , no root , no roms...
Sent from my HUAWEI DUB-LX1 using XDA Labs

I think i saw a video showing how to unlock the bootloader but i don't even tried it. I am thinking on sell this phone, seriously man. What a waste of time and money. Get back to Samsung definitely.

Y7 2018 model is not so different from 2019 model, better CPU (SnapDragon 430 vs 450), double ram and better selfie camera. So the same custom roms (8.1/9.0) could work on 2019, since kernel/ramdisk/vendor remain to untouched. Look for Project Treble or custom roms for Y6 2018.
2019 model is ALREADY unlocked and rooted on MoS. It worth pay 4$ for unlocking!

Any news? I really want to change the UI of this phone, it's just ugly.

Huawei's ****ty Bootloader System
Hello i was a fan of the Huawei P8 Lite because such a great phone. Being Very happy with the P8 Lite i decided to get the Huawei Y7 Prime 2018.I got very dissapointed when i found out that the forum that showed you your phone's code no longer worked. Eventually i sold that piece of sh*t Y7 and got a Xiaomi phone which serves me very well and has plenty of roms.. My advice for you as a former Huawei Fan is to sell tyhat phone and get a new Xiaomi or Samsung..
Thanks for your time, hope i helped:good:
