I had an Honor 5x before and was able to root, flash, etc it. Dropped it in water, bought a new one - now none of the official bootloader unlock processes work. I contact Huawei and the message is that they don't have bootloader codes because it voids the warranty and an implication that they never did (which is obviously wrong). Any options for unlocking my phone post whatever update did this besides paying four euros for the unofficial version?

They're definitely lying. And in what step do you encounter a problem?

I suggest you to try the Chinese version of bootloader unlocking website

Hello, I want to order this phone for my birthday, because my previous phone (Galaxy S3 Neo) isn't that good anymore. The only problem is that, there are many places I could order this phone, but a lot of them have bad reviews. What I am looking for is the Snapdragon version, with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM. I believe it's a kenzo device (correct if I am wrong). I prefer tax free and faster shipping. Also, will this phone work with my provider? My provider is Tele2 Lithuania, I've checked many places but there are so many versions of this phone, I just can't find the correct one.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Did you buy it from there? It seems that it comes with a chinese ROM pre-installed. How easy is it to flash an international rom?

Easy via EDL. If you are new in flashing, it can be confusing. You can unlock the bootloader and flash via fastboot or recovery. Unlock bootloader request in PIA process and it usually take 10-20days after receiving the unlock permission from Xiaomi.

Without bootloader unlock: You can't do anything, be it flashing twrp or flashing custom roms. You can only flash MIUI stock roms via EDL with Mi flash tool. Bootloader unlock doesn't void warranty for Xiaomi phones so I find no reason why someone wouldn't unlock the bootloader.

I live in Syria and all we have limited options for phones so I was very excited to learn that a xiaomi dealer started selling a couple of models one of them being the Redmi Note 3 specially with my 4 years old Nexus 5 battery almost dying so I payed 200$ to buy this phone which is A LOT of money here only because I noticed how much Roms and Mods it has and now after about 10 days of buying it I still get the error when trying to unlock the boot loader at 50% "Current account is different from the account info on the device" even after trying all the tutorials I found about turning gps and find my phone and locating the phone on the map and using the developer Rom still the same result.
I really really need root and having the phone without even the ability to root makes it unusable but selling the phone will lose me most of the price since the brand is unknown in my country so I have to sell for much less than what I bought for
I'm writing this just to ask the xda people is there ANY way at all to save me from selling the phone because I like it but I just can't be without root I'm willing to pay money just please any solution
if there's nothing I'll just sell and probably never buy a Xiaomi product again in my life I know Xiaomi doesn't care but I just had to say it because I'm so angry
You don't need root to have the opportunity to install custom roms all you need is unlocked bootloader. I guess you tried unlock bootloader by official method and it doesn't work for you, so try unofficial method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-miui-8-unlock-bootloader-twrp-t3529458 (with youtube video step by step)

Salam brother, im sorry for whats going on in syria...
You should unlock it unofficially, because i have been doing it too.
Have you flashed the developer rom from the updater app? (from the phone itself)
You first need to have this rom on the device in order to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe all your phone's data.
@mshtob You have to wait 7 days more after getting unlock permissions. Unofficial version have some flaws,do read more about it. I recommend you to go back locked bootloader after 1month then try unlocking official way. Also when unlocked unofficially, do cross check before flashing firmware as some firmwares lock device. It will create more problems for u.
Regards
Stop getting mad like an underage kid my friend, you just need to unlock your bootloader officially being in a official ROM and it works without problems because I didt it a lot of times in different versions with the official method.
If you don't like Xiaomi don't buy their phones. Also 200 dollars isn't a lot, you will pay a lot of stuff in your life. Phones are a need, not a toy to install custom roms. If you like to test ROMs and stuff I encourage you to test with your Nexus 5 or get another Nexus/Motorola.
I also have a Nexus 5 btw.
After unlock unofficially you have to delete EMMC appsboot. bin in firmware update folder in any miui rom with the help of RAR App from play store, which relock your phone. And use this patched twrp

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
Hi all!
I'm going to have my new pocophone f1 soon. I have got some questions about the warranty. I've seen many answers for yes and many answers for no. I'm noob. Please let me know:
1. If I unlcock bootloader, my varranty is void?
If no- question 2.
2. If I flash any custom recovery (TWRP for example), my varranty is void?
If no-question 3.
3. If I flash custom Rom (and) get root access, my varranty is void of course. BUT, If I restore everything to stock(I mean system and full unroot), my varranty is still void?
Thank you so much for answers.
PS. Sorry for English
No void warranty opening the bootloader. The said in the conference of the poco in india. The give all the sources and kernel to the developers to make custom rom without problem.

OK. Unlocking bootloader doesn't void varranty. What about flashing custom recovery? Does IT void varranty?

In none of the above scenarios, the warranty will be void. You unlock the bootloader with the approval of the manufacturer. No purpose will be served by simply unlocking the bootloader. It will lead to rooting and flashing of custom ROMs. So having given permission for unlocking the bootloader, the manufacturer can not turn around and deny warranty. Further, this device is supposed to be developer friendly unlike some others which deny warranty even when only the bootloader is unlocked.
So enjoy flashing!

im still triggered from samsung asking 200 dollars for minor repairs.

Chinese variants of EMUI 9 have lots of problems with Google play service,
Google play store Isn't working, .
As a non-chinese there is no use of a smartphone without Google play Service,
So i need to install custom global Rom in my Honor8X(JSN-AL00a),
How to do it?
Bootloader unlocked? Rooted?
If yes, you can rebrand to other regions.
But my device is JSN-AL00a,
Debranding possibl?

No its not possible. Because there is no method to unlock the bootloader. Nobody can sell you the code anymore. I have the same problem. We're stuck. The only solution is to change to a different phone.

Correct, these sites no longer have a solution to unlock Honor 8X. I have personally inquired from all of them. I am willing to pay but nobody at the moment has a workaround.
