Subject line: Unlock Bootloader Code - Huawei Mate 2 MT2-L03
Serial number:

Product ID:
Model: MT2-L03
If you can please provide the unlock bootloader code for my phone.
Thank you,
Thanks for the unlock code tips.
I do have a newbie question though how does having an unlocked boot device help?
What added control or access, do we get by unlocking it? Please advise.
Thanks

In order to install a custom ROM, you must first unlock your bootloader. There is a version of CM11 in development for the HAM2 that everyone is waiting for with baited breath. If you unlock your bootloader now, you will be able to install this custom CM11 ROM once it is released.

Thanks for clarification. Is the available custom ROM still on 4.3 or KItkat or Lollypop?
Also does the device have to be boot unlocked if I have a consumer cellular version and want to flash the factory unlocked flash on it?

CM11 is based on Kit Kat 4.4. There should be a CM12 ROM later on, which is based on Lollipop 5.0. You must have root access and an unlocked bootloader to install any custom ROM, regardless of where you purchased the phone.
I'm not sure who was the first to post the information about emailing Huawei and getting an unlock code. Who ever it was, thank you. It was an extremely easy process. I emailed them my IMEI and S/N, and i got an email back with my unlock code the next day.
This forum is great
Also thank you to whomever is working on the CM 11 and CM 12 roms.
Can't wait to fool around with new roms, even though the stock rom is actually incredibly stable, and smooth, and i pretty much have no complaints about it.

You can check this G+ post to see some updates on the status of CM11/12 for our phone. He doesn't really post that much, but hey, the wait will be worth it!

Some tips from other users have been to send it around the evening EST (if you're in America at least) and just keep doing it until they reply.
It sucks that you have to email them but at least they do give out the codes.

I sent 3 emails before they replied with the code. In fact, I even asked them if they can give out the network unlock code of the consumer cellular and they replied with an apologetic 'no'; all that in a span of about 3 hours.

Ive been trying to get a response from them. Its been 2 weeks now i think and havent heard from them. Ive sent like 10 emails already. Im closing to giving up and sell this phone. Ill give them about 2 more weeks.
You are lucky it only took you 3 emails before u get a reply.
First right now is Chinese holiday season, so their response maybe slow.
2nd, check the other thread, 'progress of rooting', right now there is a new method to use fake prod id to retrieve code from their website directly.

Hi there everyone. Was just looking up guides and tutorials on unlocking my tf201.
I went to the asus website to download the unlock tool http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&hashedid=FqCKMQDqgvSncfFM
And I noticed it says: Unlock Device Boot Loader (only works with tf201 ICS OS)
So my question is: Do I have to wait for asus to update their bootloader? or what do you guys recommend I'd do?
Thanks in Advance.

Hey, first of all pls check, if you have a serial number:
Settings->About Tablet -> Status
if S/N is empty, your device doesnt know its S/N. you can add it manually with a tool called "ratchet",
here are the instructions: http://androidroot.mobi/2012/01/31/introducing-ratchet-the-unknown-serial-fix/
credits to the author.
(you find your serial number on a sticker on the bottom of your tablet, or on the package in which it was shipped..)
After that, when you can see your S/N in Settings->About Tablet -> Status, you can try again.
if this fails to, you can try the following:
Some users reported, that they where able to unlock, after a factory reset. but remember: you loose root with factory reset and there is no root-method atm for JB.
If all the stuff didnt work: you are one of the "lucky" guys: there will be no unlock for your device and asus refuses support. (you are not alone, me and many others are with you)
atm there is an official asus employee named Tien, who is trying to help us. no success so far, but lets hope..

US_epad-9.4.2.28.2-20120529 It has latest superuser it has been backed up Voodoo OTA root keeper shows 100% The device is NOT UNLOCKED, it does not say that it is unlocked on start-up, ITS LOCKED but It has CWM 5.5.0.4 My first method of rooting was done though vipermods exploits Last time I updated I just flashed the proper/suitable stock .28 build that I have now through CWM from a rooted .21 stock
I can flash custom roms for unlocked devices but I am worried about a possible brick if I update to JB.

I haven't used CM10 since the early Craig builds, but reading around it looks like at least one version of CM10 here in the development area doesn't use the newer JB bootloader so if you had already upgraded ota to JB then you have the latest JB bootloader and CM10 won't work unless you use one that has been built based on the new bootloader.
In my opinion, don't get hung up on thinking CM10 is the end all be all for our Primes. Either Craigs stock JB Rom or Hairybean 1.3 give a very nice JB experience with lots of tweaks.
Good luck

I first saw this behaviour about 2 weeks ago. I think you get this situation if you go direct to the download page/tab. If you navigate off the download page to another page on the site and then return (not by using the browser's back button but using links on the page) you find the drop down list is populated.

hi, is there a way of rooting this phone, i've tried all rooting methods (one click , Vroot , framaroot, SRS, etc....) no luck, any suggestions from our XDA devs here ??
I am super disapointed with the lack of interest form the modding community. Kestrel beats MotoG in multiple areas and is a cracking piece of HW. My daily driver now (left my Note 3 as a backup device)
WIth Android 4.2 and Snapdragon 400 onboard, device is plenty fast, I would just like to get CM11 on it for the sake of a pure experience.
I guess rooting is becoming less and less of interest and OEMs doing a better job at developing their SW...

i'm sure one of our devs here will come up with the root just to prove them wrong, i understand its a new phone branded as EE kestrel ,just about 1 month since its launch, i mean Huawei were quite good , supply the code to unlock the bootloader. i wish there was an old fashion way to root it, all these super one click methods don't hack it.

what custom roms, there aren't any custom roms for the kestrel , not yet.
1- you'll need a custom recovery ( they haven't made one yet )
if you've found one that works with the kestrel , post the link
don't go flashing roms that aren't for your phone, you'll end up with a brick
Unlock bootloader : Check but the fastboot format all data
Root : Check
Go for recovery ....

On custom recovery and ROM: no developer is working on that, as far as I know. I've started to research it but I have very limited experience on building custom recovery from source and I haven't found one developed to a similar device to port it.

Don't have a clue... it was working fine for me. I have registered, provided all the info it needed (IMEI, Serial num. etc.), and int return it gave me the unlock code...

Preciselly, what unlocking the bootlader is needed for?
As mentioned above root can be done readily just running KingRoot...

A unlocked the bootloader but really was a waste of time if we hav no custom recovery and rom wish a never bought this tablet
Why? What to take into account when buying a tablet?
And is it anything one could mod with this model once one has it already at hand?
Rooted mine as well with KingRoot.
You can freeze Purify now since you are rooted.
You can install Xposed Framework as well, Any version before 2.6 is working fine.
KingRoot does its job well indeed! However there is a problem with applying
Super-Sume afterwards. It's strange, on other KK devices it went smoothly...

there is a thread on how to replace kingroot supersu or such. with each kingroot update they try to block the replacement
Ponder not exactly the case the latest KingRoot needs the latest Super-Sume.
After many trials only this pair works for me: KingRoot 4.8.1 with Super-Sume 9.1.3
Any other combination fails, it's strange, especially when with older KingRoot (4.8.1 as still it makes root) attempting the latest Super-Sume... (it fails)
However there's another problem, specifically for the MediaTab T1. After replacing with Super-Sume, indeed, SuperSU is working and kicking, but unfortunately JUST ONLY when you set the option GRANT as "Access -> Default policy" (in SuperSU). When you set PROMPT it fails as the system somehow prevents popping up messages (in this case: requests for user's approval to grant root for an application).
Has anybody any idea how to alleviate this?
People used to say there's some sort of ui overlay in this MediaTab. Probably it blocks third party apps' pop-ups... What to do, what to freeze?
Hey guys, I'm trying to purchase this item, but not able to find it anywhere even gethuawei.com. Is there a website tucked away somewhere that I can order this device? I've also tried amazon, ebay, overstock.com, and most of your common places and all say out of stock. Thanks in advance for an answer.
a seller name BREED on ebay is selling it.

Please provide the entries you gave for Model and Product Identification code. I can't seem to make this unlock webpage work for me.
Sim unlock
Can any owners give some info on how to sim unlock or a working unlock site for this device?
Thanks
Thanks for this thread and the links......I rooted my Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 LTE-821L last night using Kingroot only took 2 or 3 minutes very straight forward after a bit more forum reading I downloaded and installed Titanium backup....
T1-821L rooted with the latest Kingroot app. Very easy. Then i downloaded Super-Sume 6.0 APK File. Now i have SuperSU. No problems!
I would love to find a development tree for this phablet.
It is lacking:
1. Developers!!
2. Custom recovery (TWRP/CWM)
3. CPU Governor development
4. That sweet baby-jesus Custom Rom that hordes of nerds pray for! I would do it myself but i am linux disabled. Cyanogenmod nougat update would blow ppls minds but for now i would settle for stripped 4.4 android with cpu overclocking.
To Rom or not to Rom - Having my fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
Breed no longer sell these. Anyone know someone else selling?

Is it a community problem, like lack of popularity? or the bootloader is completely blocked and you can't flash anything?

They had posted a unlock method while back on their forums, but took it down shortly after because many people bricked their devices in the process.
So for now there is no way to unlock the bootloader until they post the updated apk or a new method.

I'm just wondering, how some guys have unlocked BL as well as flashed custom recovery without getting bricked
This means there's a way to do it correctly. It would be great if someone shares it.

As I mentioned before, the method posted by them was up for quite some time which allowed many users to unlock their bootloaders, some got away with it while others bricked their devices. There's no other way other than one posted by Realme.

Ok thanks for clearing things :good:
It honestly is demoralising to see that the Redmi Note 7 Pro, which was released only two months before the Realme 3 Pro, now has so many official ROMs that the owner is spoiled for choice. I've started regretting my decision to choose this phone. It doesn't help that Realme is releasing new phones akin to a rabbit giving birth to offspring. I'm seriously worried whether the potentially massive portfolio of various Realme phones will hinder custom ROM development. Hardly half-a-year of usage and I'm already starting to get bored of ColorOS 6.

As someone living in the USA and using T-Mobile as a provider, is there a significant difference between the XQ-CQ54 and XQ-CQ72 models? If so, which one should I go with?
I will not be using the XQ-CQ62 (US version) because the bootloader cannot be unlocked and I would like to use a custom ROM.
You can unlock the bootloader on 62 but it cost about 20 bucks..its a recent hack ... Xda isnt allowing guides with money involved so that's why theres none posted here.
Other then that i think 54 version aka european is way better then chinese 72. Just for esim alone

Would you be able to provide a link to the service or at least a name for the website? I'd like to try that one but I'd also like to not download a virus.
I havent tried it but there are reports of it being a legit thing. I ll send you a pm so you can look into that thread.

would love to hear about your experience with the tool
I have the US version and found out the hard way that its bootloader can't be unlocked. I've always had a rooted phone, BUT I would say this phone has everything that I want and need. And Android 13 now has features that I used root phones to get. On the flip side, I have seen people that have the 1 iv US version and they've used the mentioned tool, and were able to change the no to a yes. As long as Sony keeps pumping out updates, I'm good for now on stock, but I may revisit the tool if updates stop.

All that I was saying is that I may be open to trying the "workaround" to enable bootloader unlock on the US version later on. Please explain to me how that is nonsense. Or if you know of a way to change the no to a yes on these locked down versions, I'm all ears.

That's a pretty direct statement which is made up of nonsense.
No to yes and unlocking the bootloader is possible. See the thread about the so-54c or check my posts.

That's all you needed to say. I was only verifying that I ran into the same situation. I'll check out your posts, and read up. I haven't had an Xperia in almost 10 years, so I'm getting caught up.
