I've just received my Mate 10 and I love it, coming from a Nexus 6P which was a great phone when it was released, but 2 years on it aged quickly, the battery used to die at 20%. I've had Mate 10 for 24 hours now, only charged it once out of the box, transferred all my apps and photos, watched a film and I'm still sitting at 80% that's insane!
So naturally now I've got used to the phone, and figured out what it can and can't do, the next logical step is to root it, install Adaway and whatever else. But I'm pretty new at Huawei phones, although I had a Nexus 6P it was easy to root. I've had Sony Xperia's in the past that when you rooted them, certain apps stopped working or the camera quality degraded, does anything like that happen with the Mate series? And if not, how can I root this phone asap?
There is no route available if there was, someone here would surely post about it.
That being said a root method will first be discovered with Chinese users on Chinese websites and forms and if were lucky enough the translated although may be poorly translated guide will be ported here to XDA.
I had the mate 8, rooted, custom ROM. the issue that I had with that phone along with every other phone that I installed a custom ROM to was, that about a month after doing a fresh install of a custom ROM the phone would get so slow and on the mate eight certain installs would get so slow that the phone would just hang and crash on simply trying to unlock the phone.
So, that being said, I don't know if the same issues were experienced by other users but I don't think I'm going to be rooting my phone anytime soon I'm gonna try to use this phone the way it was meant to be use out-of-the-box although I have been experiencing crashing which makes me kind of regret getting this phone because as it is right now it is unusable.
Unstable? You think? I've had no issues so far and I've read about something called Funkyhuawei but it seems like a very expensive option just to mod the phone

Just rooting the phone is free with FunkyHuawei, if you have your bootloader unlock code. Rebranding it costs money.
Google for "FunkyHuawei Mate 10 Root/Rebranding tool" and use the tool there to root.
Be careful because there are some caveats to rooting, namely losing your data partition.
Also, once you gain root be EXTREMELY CAREFUL, because Huawei phones are notoriously easy to brick, and you won't be able to unbrick for free in many cases.
I rooted my Mate 10. All I needed was the bootloader unlock code from Huawei, and the FunkyHuawei tool. Worked great, took about 20 minutes, if you don't need to rebrand, root is free using their tool.

The main thing you'll notice is that you'll be missing stock themes and wallpapers and such. I don't think there is a huge effect, but I don't use root on the Mate 10, so hopefully someone else can chime in.

It's good to know that there is a root option available for the make 10. Especially coming from a US user.
I will debate whether I should use root or not. To be honest I'm more concerned with stability. Because right now on stock firmware, not rooted, I'm facing many crashes.
I've a question, this might be a newbie question, but if you root your device, will it still receive OTA updates?
I remember with my mate eight after routing, and installing a custom ROM, it was not recognized by the official Huawei PC suite if I wanted to update to nougat stock nougat firmware.
I have had the Mate 8, 9 and now the 10 and with all of them I have never rooted them as I have been very happy with the whole experience.

I rooted my Mate 10 too but I got some bugs. I can't apply themes, I lost the translator and the camera doesn't recognize different scenarios.
Rooting is free on FunkyHuawei, and those who said stay away from root because you can not get update, these guys are just guessing pretending they know what they are talking about but they don't, when I received my M10 I rooted it after 5 days just because my windows 10 does not recognize my android device but a guy link me to fix it and then it took 10mins to root it and this is the first android device I rooted fyi, and then I rooted an update was issued by Huawei, so I just click update now so my M10 gets updated but when you update the root will be gone, so all you need to do is root it again this time it takes may be 5-6 mins this time because you know now what you are doing.
Will I loose all my data, or only some themes?
I also have several questions:
1) is it true that once the bootloader is unlocked it can be relocked but it is marked as "relocked" not "locked" so it is noticeable that the device has been tinkered with?
2) The reason for using the funkyhuawei tool is that there is not a working TWRP for the mate 10 - correct?
Thanks in advance!

Am clueless after reading several threads about rooting this device. Some information are totally outdated. Some seem not apply to my case.
Here is where I am:
Huawei mate 10 pro
BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432patch01)
Developer options ON -> OEM unlocking ON (Allow the bootloader to be unlocked)So, where do I go from here? (am sorry if that really can be found already in this forum, I however did not find it ... maybe I'm just too stupid)
I love the perfect screen name.
Did you search, at least?? Look in the question and answer forum and in the general forum as well.
I'm sure that your answer is there in bold letters. But. If you don't have a bootloader unlock code, then you are out of luck, and TotallyClueless.

Just turning that option on doesn't unlock your bootloader. You have to use some commands using adb to actually unlock the bootloader. Search that for that thread, and you'll see the full listing of instructions. However, if you didn't request that code before Huawei took it awei, then you won't be able to do anything, as has been said in many a thread.

As nabril15 says, it's not possible on BLA-L29C432B146 or later. This is due to an updated bootloader which can't be downgraded.
So sadly there is no way for you to unlock, unless Huawei opens their unlock site again.
Hello,
I'm in the same place:
Huawei mate 10 pro
BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432patch01)
but my bootloader is unlocked
and under 8.0.0.145 I also had root
how do I get root?

1) Go in TWRP to "Advanced" and open "Terminal" - type following commands:
Code:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk
Confirm the entry to apply it and go back to the main menu on "Install"

Mexxx... At one point some time ago, I wiped my data partition, so I don't know if it's encrypted or not; I assume that it is not. When I run twrp blanc, I see that it decrypts data and then I can its contents.
Do I want to preserve force encryption? Or should I set it to false?

You'd want it true.
If you have flashed firmware between the "some time ago" and now you are encrypted.
And removing encryption requires both wipe data AND edit fstab in /vendor/etc. fstab is replaced when you flash a new firmware and you will be encrypted again.
Also, if you're using TWRP by Pretoriano80 that's the reason why you can see data, it can decrypt.
Does anyone have experience with this 'DCunlocker' program that has to be unlocked with 4,- Euros?
Does it work to unlock the bootloader?
I can't believe this phone can't be unlocked anymore, if I would have known that I wouldn't have bought it.

DO NOT EVER TRY ROOT THIS PHONE OR EVEN BUY IT IF ROOTING IS YOUR AIM.
Huawei have ensured that they make it impossible to unlock the bootloader or to root. What will happen is you will need to buy a bootloader unlock code from Funky Huawei for 55 USD, when you brick your phone you will need to pay them a extra 18 USD for the unbricking tool. No wonder western countries are kicking this POS brand out of their countries. Huawei just wants to spy on us hence why they don't want us to tamper with their software.
NEVER HAUWEI AGAIN!
XIAOMI ALL THE WAY!!
guess i wont be spending/wasting $75 on this phone going to go out on a limb and say same for the P20 pro? spend to unlock it???

Yes unfortunately the same. Rooting or doing any modding on Huawei is extremely risky and made even more difficult with Huawei c**k blocking.

Sorry Sam, I just saw this. If your intent is to root then save the $75. However, it still remains a powerful phone with an amazing battery life. The updates are far and few, but let's be honest, the phone still works fine. I'm not being petty-minded, I'm simply offering a point of view. I have mine rooted with the stock rom. I haven't been able to do a whole lot rooted other than to freeze a few apps using titanium backup. Was that worth the hassle it took to root it? I'm not sure. I have a fast and awesome phone, stock and rooted and not really doing much with the root.
Good luck and decide for yourself.
@nabril15 thanks for the reply ... i have the s8+ and im tired of samsung and looking to move away from them ... i wanted this phone because i couldnt pass up the price ... im rooted and locked BL now ... so it would be the same with the 10 PRO ..... is it better then what i have .. id have to buy it and test it myself ... not really sure what to do but i appreciate the comments ...

No problem. If you can get this phone for 75, go for it. Updates, schmupdates. Big deal. It is fast, the battery is ridiculous, the camera is very good, and it's a good phone. So we have to wait longer for Pie which is probably very similar. So what? 75 for any smartphone is a good deal. Face it

It depends on what build it comes with. If it's security patch June or later (in most cases) you won't be able to use DC to unlock it. There are other, much more expensive services available (10x the price of DC) to get unlock code if your build is too new.
'Morning all,
I would really appreciate some advice on a couple of things about my MATE 10 Standard.
I bought this phone online from an online shop in Manchester around April last year. I got the Mate 10 ALP-AL00 which was rebranded by the shop to ALP-L29. Its currently on 8.0.0.136(C636).
My aim is to unlock and root my device with Magisk and of course get TWRP working as well. From what I have read, there seems to be quite a high level of success but there are still things i'm not sure about. Huawei phones are a bit fragile, software wise and can easily brick. Plus, the fact that the phone itself is the Chinese variant, I don't expect any kind of help from Huawei Customer services if it does get bricked. Hence i'm being very cautious. (Past bad experience with a Honor 9 STF-AL10).
1. my phone is on ALP-L29 8.0.0.136(c636) 1 June security patch. Bootloader Version: Chipset-boston8.0.0.001(02M8)_FASTBOOT
I've refused all attempts to upgrade via OTA as I've read about the 01 and 02 bootloaders fiasco.
2. I've got an unlock code from DC-Unlocker, but I've not tried it yet. I never was able to get a code from Huawei's official site due to the fact that it was rebranded, which lead me to believe the online shop I bought it from used Funky to rebrand. (Apparently, FunkyH messes up something on the bootloader thus preventing unlocking with official unlockcode. AFIK). BUT, the info displayed by phone is exactly the same as what is on the box, imei 1&2, S/N, device Id code, etc...
Basically my questions are:
With the current firmware version I'm on, can I unlock my bootloader, install the unofficial TWRP then root with Magisk? AFIK its on xloader 01.
Is there anything to look out for when doing the above?
and, If I do a full backup immediately after installing TWRP, can this be used to recover the phone if it fails to boot up for any reason.?
I'm not really interested in being on the latest EMUI version etc, just wan't a phone with full root and an easy method to unbrick it.
thank you all,

You could just test the code in fastboot: fastboot oem unlock UNLOCKCODE
If the code is incorrect, for some reason, it will say Password incorrect. Else it will bring you to the yes/no unlock screen on phone. DCs unlock code should always work as it doesn't need the correct imei/imei2/sn/product combo when generating unlock code.
There's no real point in staying on xloader 01 anymore, every update (except a few unapproved firmware) after 02 started appearing has been 02.
Downside is that you can't downgrade, but you could replace fastboot in latest fw with the one from may/June and you'd have DC working again. But there's also service firmware available for free on androidhost.ru which can be used if phone should brick. There's also testpoint (only one person has tested this) which can be used to downgrade to any firmware (even xloader 02 to 01).
Before unlocking, backup everything as unlocking will wipe data.

U can check unlock code by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* and goto veneer informations>Verify key> Input boot unlock code. If it is correct it will show Success in toast notification.
Hi all,
Appologies for late reply as I've been lumbered with bored kids on their midterms plus a backlog of work.
I've verified the key I go from DC, and success it got verified OK.
Now to prepare and read through again all the important bits for TWRP nstallatuon and magisk.
Quick question, is there a way or method that is 100% foolproof to recover your device via unofficial TWRP.
Noobish questions, I know but please bear with me.
Thanks for your time and patience and best regards....

There are a few methods to recover your device from an eventual soft-brick, i wouldn't call them foolproof, not because are hard to follow/use, but only because it seem that no matter how easy a guid, a method or a tool is, there are still some people that fail to do it properly.
If your only goal is to install TWRP and Magisk, my advice is to read a bit on these forums and you shoul be fine.
Another advice, that people seem to ignore completely after they acquire root, is to backup your partitions. I recommend Partitions Backup (by Wanam) from Playstore. Backup all partitions beside system, vendor and userdata then transfer the backup on PC, Cloud, etc.
Good luck!

I've also backup my partitions and kept them on my PC and Cloud.
Now the problem I'm having is with Magisk. I can't seem to get it installed.
When I flashed it in TWRP I got an error that /system and /Vendor are not mounted. Mounted them manually and retried the instalation and it worked. When I check the APP, it shows as not installed.
I've tried magisk 16.0 and 17.1 both failed to install. Tried the one in the HWOTA zip and it failed too.
Anyone please advise...

Which device and build do you have? First uninstall Magisk with Magisk Uninstaller, by flashing it with TWRP. Then try again to install latest Magisk.
And btw, your partitions backup is not completely done, not untill you install Magisk and use that app, Partitions Backup!
Solved!
I ran the magisk_uninstall twice then ran the magisk.bat again.
Got 16.0 to work, now updated to 17.1 via the app and all is good.
worked like a CHARM.
full root & TWRP + Magisk 17.1 installed
Christmas has come early for me!
Now to way the pros and cons of updating to xloader2 (infact anything above B136)
Much respect to all and best regards.....

Well, you can't stay on xloader01 forever, at least not if you want to update your device.
The cons is that once on xloader02, you can't go back to xloader01.

You can use HWOTA8 or HuRUpdater! Beware that if you update to a firmware with patch 01, simply flashing Magisk won't work anymore and you will have to patch the stock ramdisk with Magisk Manage (keep encryption and preserve dm_verity must be enabled) , then flash the patched image with fastboot.
Hello,
I have unlocked bootloader for my P Smart 2019 POT-LX1 EMUI 9.0.1.152 (C432E8R1P12) using paid service.
I thought the life would become easier to root this phone now, unfortunately no..
With the help of XDA member KevMetal I have tried so many things to root this phone or even flash a custom rom. Something is preventing to let my phone boot up with new system.img, also no magisk build is working if I put anything other than original img files phone is bootlooping and going to eRecovery. The only custom thing that was almost working was TWRP for Honor device without touchscreen working (borrowed from forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8x/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-root-honor-8x-t3864348).
Can anyone help to make Magisk work for this device? Or how to install custom rom? I am stuck now with unlocked bootloader and no root access :S
May I know where did you unlock the bootloader from? Did you tried openkirin?

Hello guys,
I registrated here in xda, to make ppl know that there is a possibility to bypass payment service for unlocking bootloader for free. It's silly to pay'em for administrate my phone, that I already paid for the device.
I think I got a solution that permits to obtain unlock code. The simple thing to do is download the app called 'Device Connect' from f-droid
Once opened, just tap settings on the slide menu, and there is Device UIN number and Device Password. I think one of those is that damn code.I didn't tried this yet and don't have 100% sure is correct code, but I think it worth a try. Only huawei make pay for unlock bootloader? Its first and last time I have bought an Huawei Device, not because politics, but because of their choice to close bootloader, so their bloatware can collect data, but even without root there is a possibility to clean the mess. F+++ Em

First of all, Huawei isn't charging you for bootloader codes, the 3rd party programs that can unlock Huawei's bootloaders are.
Second, other manufacturers prevent bootloader unlocking on some of their phones.
Thirdly, bootloader codes aren't that short. UIN numbers from that app have nothing to do with bootloaders, try reinstalling the app and the code will change.
Example code: 9784200582026427 (P Smart 2018)
Only way that this phone can be unlocked is with PotatoNV and HCU ($19) as far as I know, but in the future there might be cheaper alternatives like DCUnlocker ($4).
And finally, Huawei has probably removed the command for unlocking the bootloader (fastboot flashing unlock) on EMUI 10+ so stay on EMUI 9.1 if you wish to unlock in the future.
Don't get me wrong I don't support Huawei for not allowing us to unlock the bootloader its extremely scummy on their side.
Just chill out and wait for people to find out a method for unlocking, or buy a Xiaomi phone and unlock it the next day.
Can someone give me a download link the 9.0 android rom for this device ? I want root it and i have to downgrade from android 10 .

hello does anybody know a working method to how to find and download and flash a Stock Rom on my Nokia 7.2 all Tutorials i try so far but did not work well i stuck as well in security patch problem it will not install thats why i want try to find a Stock Rom to flash again with working update
It's pretty easy. Use the NFT tool to flash any full update package and/or flash a full firmware package (HMDSW type).

Sorry for the necro, and not asking if phone can be rooted as wow, am not surprised how many asked already lol.
I purchased four unlocked Nokia 7.2 which forced updated to 10 upon bootup. I'm trying to deal with two issues, one of which I believe is either the Google phone dialer stopping all other phone dialer recording programs from working with a message "call to short to record". Phone has an oem unlock feature in developer section and I see the bootloader is locked, and all research says OS 10 stops this from getting unlocked. After seeing absolutely zero posts on YouTube about downgrading a Nokia 7.2 to OS 9, and so many scam sites, I figure best option is to ask here.
Can a Nokia 7.2 be flashed down to OS 9 where bootloader can then be unlocked, or are all the posts I'm seeing, just wishful thinking fakes? Thanks.

Hi, essentially the only way to downgrade a locked device is via a Nokia Care point or otherwise tools which can replicate what the Nokia Care tools do. All of these will have a price and unfortunately, no free way exists. You can opt for some remote services.
The tutorials on random websites will help in no way because a locked bootloader will not let you flash any device partitions, thereby disallowing downgrades as well. You cannot load an older OTA package from recovery mode because its date will mismatch.

I have no trouble paying to get this done. It's finding the place to do it that's in the way. I called metro and tmobile and both said they don't offer this service. Least the ones in California I called. One site offered at $4.50 rollback and $8 to root and I am more wary of that then the free ones lol. Any suggestions to real places? Thanks for getting back.
