Why do you think the bootloader is locked?
I believe the code that was being provided was for the carrier networkt and it was limited to certain carriers/countries. That's my understanding.
Are you trying to load a new/different rom? Are you able to get into fastboot? What happens when you try?
There are good instructions on loading recoveries and roms. What have you tried and what issues did you run into.
..
Ok. Just checking. I've never seen or heard that any mediapads have bootloader locked.
Something to watch out for if/when buyng mediapad.
I know c235b001 this version has locked
but, Android4.0,C232B005,General Channel
this version no locked.
i heard from my friend that service his mediapad to the service center because its drowned. it seems that the new "board" with different IMEI comes with new "locked" bootloader. and i think the solution is to flash it with old honeycomb or old ICS version. i dont know if it works or not but i think it will works.

I also have this problem - the device came with an unlocked bootloader, but the latest updates have locked it! To make things worse, Huawei has removed the older files from their site.
If anyone can share an older version of the firmware it would be much appreciated. I would be happy to be the guinea pig.

Thanks, but that's for the 301 - I need for 931u.
I found a download - if it checks out I'll share it here.
Everything what was said there about unlocked bootloader for hws73xx. I am not sure if there is fw with unlocked bootloader for lite. Try to send email to [email protected] with your S/N number, IMEI and product id and request for bootloader unlocking code.

Good idea! Sucks that it was unlocked to start with though.
I got a quick reply from Customer Service...

Thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Sorry that currently there have no bootloader unlock code for the MediaPad items.
Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.

Hey I along with others are waiting for bootloader unlock for third party sim unlocked phones. I was wondering if anybody unlocked their bootloader anyway and had any luck. By third party I don't mean you received imei code from a different company I mean you had to plug in your phone to your computer when unlocking.
EDIT: I have contaced Multi-Unlock-Client and they said they are working on getting the bootloader unlock to us and it will be here soon: 1-2 weeks.
YEAH.

I got mine factory unlocked,
If u unlocked phone by omnius or other and then u reunlock using setool2 doesn't help??
U can try that and see if it passes the certifacte test...
Do u know where can i find setool2
And what is the unlocking procedure?
My friend wants to know...

I heard that if you reunlock with setool2 then all will be okay and you can unlock bootloader. BUT I have not freaking idea how to use setool2 or how to get it or how to pay for it...it boggles my mind why they use credits instead of real currency and I don't know if you need se toolbox or whatever.
I prefer not to pay for unlocking sim TWICE.

Here you go...
https://rs107dt.rapidshare.com/#!do...l2lite1.11www.se-tuning.net.rar|68890|R~0|0|0
if you get "not recognized simlock certificate", you have 3 ways:
1.
go to nearest service center and ask to unlock your phone with setool2.
almost all 3rd-party service centers have setool2 equipment and can help you.
cost can't be less than 15$ and upper limit depend of service center greed ( mostly they are GREEDY guys )
2.
wait,until lead ( omnibus developer ) will integrate semcboot unlock in omnibus software.
if you used omnibus to unlock your phone, it can be even free for you.
if not - price will depend of lead's greed ( and he is EXTREMLY GREEDY guy )
3.
wait,until tool author, which wrote tool you used to unlock your phone, integrate
semcboot unlock in own tool.
ps.
all that other 3rd-pary unlock tool authors need to do -
- sniff my patched s1boot
- replace S1_SL_Root_xxxx with own
- proudly release new version with words "world first user friendly REAL TRUE TOTALLY SAFE ULTIMATE bootloader unlock blablablablabla"
Thank you for the information...its actually very helpful. I did not get mine unlocked from omnius, i got it unlocked from multi unlock client...so hopefully that person knows about this and will integrate it soon.
Thank you again the_laser for taking your time to read my post. And of course bootloader unlock.
I contacted the company JIC technology the maker of multi unlock client...and hopefully they will get back to me soon.
I have receieved an email from a JiC technology..the makers of the multi unlock client software...so if any of you ahve used that to sim unlock your phones a bootloader unlock provided by them will be published in the next 2 weeks.
SWEET.
Waiting ..
I'm on the same boat ..... Its been a week now of I think It won't be long now , do anybody know where lease can I check for the updates on the multi unlock client ?
Cheers
Anyone got any more news on this ?

I Opened a case with JIC Tech to ask for the bootloader unlock and they just closed it with no reply .
They have released V52.00 of the Multi unlock client and there is no reference to the X10 bootloader unlock .
I guess I we should have used the IMEI method ... ;(
Just a thought. Maybe, with the new version out, someone could flash back to stock 2.1, re-run the unlock, then run the s1tool to see if it's now compatible. I can't try it for a few days, but it might be worth a shot.
E.T.A.: This is for those of us who used the Multi Unlock Client.
I said weeks ago that I have Omnius unlocked bootloader and I can give it in PM.

4 - Lost Signal ....
5 - Flashed stock kernel.
6 - Re-Locked the bootloader .
7 - Flashed stock ROM
8 - Rooted
9 - Unlocked Again , Now with Omnius (sorry nothing else handy)
10 - SIGNAL BACK !!!
11 - Waiting for almighty Blagus to send me the bootloader unlock instructions.
I hope this can help someone who has lost the signal

Blagas,
Thanks for the software via PM last night.
Can you check your PM as the bootloader unlocking does not work for me.
All the info should be in your PM box.
Thanks.
Downloaded to 2.1 rom and still getting errors whrn running the bootloader unlocking cmd file.
I wonder if i am doing something wrong.
Has anyone got a "how to" guide for people who unlocked their phone with "omnius" software ?
Thanks.
Received email from Multi Unlock Client creator...
"Just to keep you informed. We are nearly finished with our other project so i hope that after 1 week we can do the unlock for bootloader.Either way it is next on the list

that is because your phone is a prototype, you can only flash it with the flash tool using a ftf file, that works without problems.
so that means i can't unlock the bootloader and do things the way i want?
what flash do i use? kinda new to this
I also have a brown phone. And it have bootloader already unlocked (maybe they don't implement locked bootloader for the brown phone). I have tried flash FXP 024 successfully.
can someone tell me wgat a brown phone is? i have heard that s few times. some kind if prototype? how can it be that prototypes are sold?

BLUE phones have been assembled in the factory but never programmed with software/ GDFS/ IMEI – it means they are in their „factory state“
BROWN phones are "developer phones", used for testing. Less restrictions are present as these are used for "debugging/beta" purposes.
RED phones are your typical retail ones. Highest level of security is present in this state of phone, it‘s usually not possible to write into OTP (one time programmable memory) in this state.
Brown phone usually sell for very cheap price, without box and warranty. It's usually give to tester for them to write overview for the phone before it release.
thank you very much for that great awnser

i just want stock with a kernel with iptables for working purpose... there a way to just get that?
u can try sending it to ur carrier and tell them you cannot update the phone
and they have to send it to service and update there (same thing as my miss's sgs)
Sometimes the bootloader can not be unlocked using Sony's method you need to use an alternative method.
Also I never heard of these brown phones? Sound interesting.

Hi!
I haven't seen a way to change the status from "bootloader unlock allowed: NO" to YES, but in a forum I read that some guys managed to reach an agreement with sony. If we send the simlock unlock codes they will allow the bootloader unlock.
Here's the OT

The chances are very small, but looks like they are going to unlock it:

Looks like the only requirement now is that you have to bring the device to a sony service center
We are dealing with Sony to get our handsets fully unlocked, but what i am most afraid of is if employees will be aware of this. I hope so!
We will keep you guys updated!

you can make the bootloader unlock allowed: yes by ezSEMC tool. I made it yesterday unlocking my acro HD for 45$. the phone became fully unlocked and bootloader changed to rootable, after that i've unlocked bootloader by official method.

I've heard rumours the s1 server is offline for good aswell. Missed it by about two days. Gutted. I've been checking daily for about 3 weeks.
Can't believe I had so much fun with my x10 and cm roms, but now I'm forced to stop.

I still find hard to believe no one can "break this code"...
I would certainly donate to some Dev to crack this problem for good. If it can be done by CSCA Server than is just some service mode and software changes.
That or find some loophole to flash kernels into the phone, security blocks for that are so hard or complex that no one can break them ?!

Same for me,,you must downgrade the version of your phone,,,i downloaded the stock rom from this site https://androidhost.ru/search.html,,,i had download 135 C432 Version and follow this steps
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77706448&postcount=14
For me i used the forcable method,,and flash my phone with dload method,,,,and it's working for me,,,bootloader unlocker with HCU
I think I know why Huawei blocked/stopped the bootloader unlocking services
1. They want to make their devices not able to install official Android
2. They don't want customer to install custom ROM on their devices
3. They don't want customer to install GApps onto their banned devices
Yea, it will effect every huawei device now, I am sad
Me too
I will never buy any ****y huawei
Lost my data
after charge and reboot it did factory reset by self
After updating my xperia few months back, it lost both IMEI's and ability to see sim cards with that. Also the battery started to drain significantly faster.
Now I have unlocked bootloader and rooted it, hoping it would fix it, but it didn't help. ( I've used this guide for rooting https://www.droidwin.com/unlock-bootloader-and-root-sony-xperia-1-iv/) Xperia Companion did not work either, it would just give out an error everytime.
I would imagine getting to stock could solve this, but as I understood Sony don't want you to have a good life and there's no places to get old firmware for my model.
I'm really bad with all of this, so I would be really grateful for any help, to restore my phone from being a tablet.
Did you flashed another firmware? Like US firmware? Because if you did that doesn't work on ct72
Edit: Also companion won't work with unlock bootloader

Sorry to hear the news. You should of contacted SONY for its warranty if the update was OTA. Unlocking the bootloader usually voids the warranty.
