No,:cyclops:
Then you cant install xap-files. For that you need an unlocked device. Bluetooth share you should be able to find on market place under Nokia collection.

wait? My phone is factory unlocked, so my phone have unlocked bootloades isn't?
if no, please give me step by step tutorial, so i can install my custom xap. :silly:
Thanks a lot.
Factory unlocked only means carrier or sim unlocked. If your phone has dloader as boot-loader then there is no chance of installing xap-files. If your phone has qualcomm boot-loader then you can. Do a search in this forum to find out how to determine what boot-loader your phone has.

There are two conditions to install xap...
1. If your phone is brand new and not unlocked (refer case 2 and 3), then you can install XAP(WP application files) from MarketPlace only. There is not other way.
2. If your phone is dev-unlocked, then you can install upto 10 xap files of your choice. To dev-unlock a phone you need a dev account from microsoft which is by default paid. and you can use that to unlock upto three devices. It is good if you are a developer.
3. If your phone is rooted then you can install as many XAP files as you can. There is virtually no restriction for this. Simple way to do it is by installing CUSTOM ROM to your phone.
Once your phone is unlocked there are many ways to install a XAP.
1. XAP deployer from WP SDK.
2. other unethical tools, which I would not name here.
BUT sadly you need a very strong luck, if you are using a Lumia 800, that's too at 7.8. The best way is to get a dev-account. Register as a student; it will be free. if you are successfully registered, you can install upto 10 apps
THIS is a illegally legal way to unlock a lumia. Moreover installing unlicensed XAP is again illegal.
all
You may install a custom rom and you won`t get problems with installing Xap and use Appz by your choice.
This is not aiming to know how long it took Xiaomi to send you the unlock permission via SMS.
This aims to know how long you had to wait AFTER receiving this until MiFlashUnlock would let you unlock your bootloader.
Most people get an error with the MiFlashUnlock stuck at 50% for quite some time (after receiving permission) before the unlock works as intended.
Please only answer if you actually managed to unlock your BL and not if you are still waiting.
I just want to clear up all these threads claiming you have to jump through 1000 of hoops and dance around a fireplace naked and after that the unlock will work 1000% of the time, while most likely you just have to wait some time until Xiaomi updates their servers with the unlock Info.
In mine case it took 5 days. And i was able to unlock only by older version of unlock tool.

Whoah, really? Cool.
You unlocked in the very first attempt with the older mi unlock tool?
Hey, can you gimme the link for older version of mi unlock tool, which you've used to unlock your RN4 bootloader? @ayush.gl
which message should I give for unlock permission?

You don't need to give message, just apply for unlocking permissions, look here - en.miui.com/unlock.
Once you successfully applied for approval, then wait few days, you'll get a confirmation message regarding the same, then try unlocking your phone.
I bought from gearbest, somehow my phone was already unlocked. Since it was my first Xiaomi I didn't recognize and applied for unlocking. After 4 days I received the SMS. I tried to unlock before with "fastboot devices" (used a Linux based OS) and it said the devices was locked. When I tried to unlock the official way the program stated "no need to unlock". Strangely with all the recommended drivers installed (now in Windows 10) fastboot devices showed an unlocked phone. Tried again with another RN4X a friend bought along with me and it also was unlocked. Well I'm not complaining, but didn't hear about unlocked RN4(X) before.

5 or 6 days, i don't remember.. i used the latest version of the tool. (I tried to unlock using previous versions of the tool, hell I even tried using the Chinese tool.. i tried every method out there on the internet except dancing naked in fire.. nothing worked)
i am getting a brand new huawei mate 10 pro returning my current brand new one as it got updated to the latest emui which prevents bootloader unlocking, how do i succesfully unlock the bootloader on the next mate 10 pro?
1.how do i prevent it from updating and ruining my chances of unlocking the bootloader Before i have a chance to unlock it, will it force update?
2.how do i keep the bootloader locked will i have to flash some other rom on it to prevent it from updating ota or can i update it ota and keep the bootloader unlocked with twrp or will it be permanently locked if i attempt to ota update after twrp is installed and after the bootloader is unlocked
3.i read that it can restore the default recovery on first boot can anyone explain this to me
since the latest emui prevents the bootloader from being unlocked i only have one chance, and if it somehow updates to the latest emui then it's locked forever, so how do i unlock the bootloader permanently without worrying about it unlocking ever again, i thought that once the bootloader is unlocked and twrp is installed then it will stay like that, but then i read that it can get overitten just with an ota update and once it updates then i can never unlock it again.

1. Set up device, but don't plug in SIM or enable WiFi. Go to settings and check patch level.
Depending on Cust of course, but generally July or later can't be downgraded (If downgrade is needed). This is due to updated bootloader.
If May/June or earlier you should be able to use HCU-client directly to get unlock code.
For example, BLA-L29C432B145 (June) can be downgraded to B142 (May) where HCU works. This is using dload firmware from androidhost.ru (requires an OTG-cable and USB-stick 8gb min or a OTG usb hub and USB-stick 8gb min).
B146+ can't be downgraded to old bootloader due to updated bootloader.
2. When you have the unlock code you can use it, always, no matter what firmware (At least as it is now, this might change in the future)
Firmware don't normally lock bootloader.
3. To restore stock recovery you would either:
Extract it from your firmwares update.app, acquired from firmware finder. This is extracted using Huawei Update Extractor.
Stock recovery is named recovery_ramdisk and can be flashed through fastboot.
OR
You can 'dd' erecovery_ramdisk to recovery_ramdisk (both partitions are the same, different 'entry' points). This is using terminal in TWRP
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk
I would suggest using the update.app approach if you're not comfortable using terminal. 'dd' is a potentially dangerous command.
But your device should ship with an already HCU compatible firmware, so you should be able to get code right away, as long as you don't connect to the internet first.

can i set it up without a Connection? from what i remember setting it up the first time it forced me to connect to the internet, as for unlocking that seems really complicated, from what i saw i can use dc unlocker with the click of a few buttons so i don't quite understand these methods, so you mean this is better than dc unlocker, does that mean once i get the code i can update emui and relock the bootloader and then unlock it? no need for any software or anything once i have the code then it's like an official code so i never have to worry about not being able to unlock the bootloader again can i then unlock the bootloader no matter how new emui if i want, and what firmware will it have if it comes brand new should it have the firmware it shipped with on release?
let's say the phone comes with Before may security patch can i then easily just get the code without much complication and then it's the same code as if i were to get it directly from huawei meaning i don't have to worry about updating emui and having the bootloader locked permanently? this is all news to me as i thought you needed to use dc unlocker as a workaround and that this only works on older emui meaning if i unlock the bootloader update emui then it's locked forever.

Hcu-Client is made by DC-Unlocker, but it works for newer phones. Its the same procedure as using DC-Unlocker, and uses the same credits. Just follow the instructions found in the program.
The downgrade would only be needed it your firmware is higher than the supported ones, and still on old bootloader.
I can't say for sure the unlock code will work for all eternity, but at least for now it will work after you update (and if phone for some reason locks after update).
If it works or not on future firmware is up to Huawei. My phone stayed unlocked when flashing Pie beta anyway....
When you have the code you it will be like the official one, so keep it somewhere safe.
I'm pretty sure you can skip through the whole set up without connecting to the Internet.
I can't remember what firmware my phone came with, it might have been on C432B127 or C432B129...
DC unlocker/HCU is only to get the unlock code as Huawei closed their site to get it. You can safely update after getting it.

oh so no need for a Cable or anything after i received the code, once i received it on the appropriate firmware then i can update emui, this means anything i do doesn't do anything to the phone itself, i don't need to do any modification on my phone i just use it to get the code then i update emui like normal and then when i feel like it i unlock the bootloader with the code, so i can get the code and just forget about it afterwards unless huweai invalidates it in the future?
simply put
1.i unbox the phone and set it up with no sim card or internet skip all logins
2.i connect it to a pc and get the code through hcu however that is done
3. i reset the phone and set it up like i normally would with internet and a simcard and then update it ota
then when i feel like it i can unlock the bootloader on the newest firmware and then install a custom rom
Hello guys, I need to read bootloader code in my mate 10 pro with dc-unlocker but they write in the site "Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported".. what do they main? Mate 10 pro was launched with android 8.0

It means it's not supported since May/June. I guess they just write that so they don't have to investigate into which firmware exactly.
It works on May patch firmware and earlier. Some cust even works on June.
Since your signature is Italian I guess you have C432?
If so, last build it worked on was B142. If you're on B145 you can downgrade to B142. If you're on B146 or later you can't get unlock code. (at least for now)

If DC-Unlocker doesn't work, use HCU-client. I can't remember if Mate 10 Pro is too new for DC-unlocker.
It's the same credits anyway, and it won't use credits if phone is not supported in DC-unlocker (You won't get the Bootloader code option anyway).
It may ask you to factory reset in HCU to get code, if it does just comply.
You will need 4 credits, which equals $4
i spoke to the developers of dc unlocker i was told they have no idea if the code will work after emui is updated, they suggest i unlock the bootloader as soon as i receive the code.

It should work in updated EMUI, atleast in Oreo.
What Huawei did, what I found out anyway, that made unlock code generation not working anymore is changing the key needed to generate it.
It's the same with the backdoor they use, it needs a new key to work. So technically all old unlock codes should work as the end result when generating an unlock code would be the same regardless of what key is needed to generate it. I guess anyway.

B145?
If so you have to downgrade to B142, firmware is available on androidhost.ru.
You will also need an otg cable and a memory stick/usb adapter and minimum 8gb memory. (Samsungs USB-C to USB-A works fine for this if you happen to have one)
Or a USB hub.
Then extract your downloaded firmware zip, just cut and paste "sd_update" folder to external memory stick and start phone in dload mode.
There are instructions that come with the firmware on how you flash it (dload mode, folder structure etc.)
External memory is needed as Mate 10 Pro can't read internal while in recovery.

Yes, just downgrade, get the unlock code and then unlock. It doesn't matter that you tried to get the code while on B145.

Download this firmware - > http://androidhost.ru/3b5 <- and follow @ante0 advices for the downgrade procedure.
This seems to be the best android tablet currently available. I really want one. But the rooting process looks complicated. First I have to unlock the bootloader. But I need an unlock code to do that. And huawei stopped offering the unlock code back in July. So what am I supposed to do? The only thing I need root for is TWRP and titanium backup.
Same here. Apparently you can get the unlock code with DC-Unlocker (which I have used before) but I have not found a 100% confirmation that this still works after Huawei has stopped their service.
I replaced my nexus 7 with a SHT-W09. I like it every apps run smootly. Two days ago i got the bootloader code with Dc-unlocker, i keep my tablet locked until the warranty (updates) will end then the tricky root way will be only a remember.
I follow this forum since july and every keys from DC-unlocked worked (they read it from your tablet).
A doubt: could Huawei, updating the "code", make unusable my key?
I unlocked mine via the Huawei site. Don't know if this still works. Flashed TWRP and flashed Magisk and that's it.
The only problem is when you install OTAs you need stock recovery and after that you need TWRP again to root it.
Not sure but it worked pretty smooth via the Huawei website.

It's easy and worthwhile! Bootloader unlock is an arse, though, now that the Huawei site is gone. Heard good things about 3rd party tools to unlock. Root is easily achieved with Magisk - no need for TWRP.

No BUT they can update firmware so that DC Unlocker will no longer work. In some firmware releases for the Mate 9 and/or Mate 10, Huawei has patched up the backdoor that DC Unlocker uses to retrieve the unlock code.
But if you obtain your unlock code before installing any recent updates, DC Unlocker should work every time.
I just purchased an M5 10.8" and can confirm that I used DC Unlocker successfully and now have an unlocked bootloader. I did not allow the device to download an update though.
Hmm. So I should use DC unlocked? I live in america. Will there be a problem paying the $5 with my credit card?

Link for those of you who struggled like me here is the link to a bootunlocking software that actually shows a countdown.
That was my issue i think. Miunlock showed a bunch of Chinese characters with no countdown.
KK world unofficial was the only one that showed an hr countdown.
Good luck everyone

This is an isolated case. Most of the users on this forum have unlocked their X3 using the official Xiaomi app with no issues.
I suggest people who read this post stick to the updated and official app. Unofficial apps may only serve to increase your waiting time.

This is an isolated case. Most of the users on this forum have unlocked their X3 using the official Xiaomi app with no issues.

Can't talk about other, but as a Linux user the only solution I found was xiaomitool V2
Counter-example here: with an European v1.0.4.0 stock ROM, I was able to unlock the bootloader after the customary 7 days delay with the regular Mi Unlock tool. Seems YMMV.

Well, I got about 21 days on Global Nfc then I try it again after 2 days Then Got only 92 hours.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader under Linux? I tried to install a Windows VM and set up USB pass through to use the tool but my computer is to poorly spec'd to run a VM. During the unlock process is the connected as a USB device or does it present as a serial port?
You must do it under windows unfortunately.
Send an email to Xiaomi and put some pressure on them to develop a linux tool or simply allow bootloader unlock using fastboot.

Maybe creating a Windows VHD will run good enough for you. FYI, here's a step-by-step that may be of help...
Boot from VHD

It took 28 days an a number of fails an misstarts. My hardest cellphone to unlock boot loader ever.
I finally had success with a guy off youtube an waited 168hrs.
MiFlash Unlock Unofficial by KK World.
Link for those of you who struggled like me here is the link to a bootunlocking software that actually shows a countdown.
That was my issue i think. Miunlock showed a bunch of Chinese characters with no countdown.
KK world unofficial was the only one that showed an hr countdown.
Good luck everyone

I'm an amateur man. Cellphones are a hobby. No idea why xda have decided I'm a 'senior member' next to my name I drive forklifts for a living an enjoy custom roms. I can't even write code lol.
I just found this bootloader extremely difficult to unlock. Every other Xiaomi device I've had it has been about a week.
I got 168 hours for my bootloader unlock. I assume I can continue using my device and then use the unlock tool again in a week for a successful unlock?
Anybody? I have never had a device with MIUI so the bootloader unlocking seems strange.

same with huawei bootloader unlocking process they give you oem unlock key via email ... they making bootloader unlocking so complicated
Unlocked my bootloader and flashed crDroid. I get a message saying the current user is unable to edit apn setting, so I am unable to get my data working. This happens no matter what rom I install. Any way to fix this issue?
