Hi guys, I've been out of the Huawei scene for a while, since changing my daily driver away from my Mate 7 (still got the phone though), so unsure of how things work in Huawei world now. My son has purchased a Mate 10 (black) recently (has Mate 7 already also) and with the news of Huawei soon stopping bootloader unlock, I have logged into my Huawei account and got his unlock code before things turn to poo.
If I unlock his Mate 10, will it still take OTA updates like the Mate 7 did? We don't want to root or mod it. Just unlock for the future when Huawei do stop supporting the phone and only then look at custom ROMs that get updates.
Do OTA's re-lock it?
It's on Oreo from new. Apparently it has a notification for OTA update right now, should I unlock it before or after the update?
I feel like a total n00b lol. Even my Axon 7 is locked still. Android is so much better these days that you don't have a pressing need to mod them.
BTW, the Mate 10 is really nice, I would have one for myself too, but the Axon 7 still works great. Shame it doesn't have the amazing battery life of Mate 10 :silly:
Hi, Unlocked Bootloader doesn't prevent OTA Updates or gets relocked on a software update.. But please make sure that you don't have TWRP or any sort of modifications on your device else it'd turn out really bad.. I always download "Full Package" from the Software Update Section in Settings so I can make sure all my important images can be flashed by the update..
Regards
Thanks for that :good:
Ok, well I will get him to do back up of his data and SMS and call logs etc and then I'll unlock it. It's a long weekend here in NSW Australia so he can spend some time setting it up again He needs it for work. Uses the dual SIMs like I do.

Probably better when you do the OTA update first and then unlock the bootloader.
It's now unlocked
Restoring the backup then he can set it up further. Didn't do the OTA first just in case there was a bootloader change in it.
Hopefully that wasn't a mistake.
Edit:
Looks like the update is mainly for face unlock and security patches. Done
P8 lite 2017
When I unlocked the bootloader for my p8 lite 2017 , it stopped getting updates even the update section in the settings is gone ??? what should i do

What are the chances that this device will get TWRP and Root?
Not that I know... But this seems to be the best android tablet around now considering the price. Furthermore, its born with Android 8, which means it will be treple enabled thus the adaption of vanilla Android or others should be easier. Likewise, this should also improve security patches. I hope that someone will bring it.
Any progress of Rooting the HUAWEI MediaPad M5?
I want to buy it cuz my old Pixel C is sadly broken, but I wanna wait till it gots Root and Custom ROM:
@Marcopoloy13 I am in a similar situation as I would like to retire my old Nexus 7 (2012) and I am quite optimistic that TWRP will be available quite soon, as there is a device tree for the Honor 9 available and the Mediapad M5 sports the same SoC ...
As I am receiving my Huawei Mediapad M5 PRO next week, I wanted to look for root ... Is Huawei known to make a fuzz about root in case of sending it in for repairs etc. (I have a Samsung-past, friends of mine had issues with their support due to root ... ) ?
I am very new to Rooting, i just want to get linux deploy on this tab to install Debian. I have unlocked the bootloader the rooting is very hard.... i have no clue to what i am doing and was following the guide on this awesome forum but the imaging and so forth is not somthing i understand.
i have the CMR-w09 (non pro)
Unlock the bootloader?
How did you unlock the bootloader? I tried the “Huawei unlocking page" mentioned at Kingoapps website, but it didn't find anything about unlocking or bootloaders.

For any WIFI only device, contact Huwaei via Phone (they rarely answer mails, so dont write one), explain the problem using their site (WIFI only device, therefore no IMEI etc), provide them your tablets serial number and let them send the unlock code via mail to you. Takes usually two business days until you have the unlock code.
Hello everyone!
I just bought the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and I have a question.
I have always had HTC and SuperSU and Magisk but the dev are very fast and I had my update even before their releases.
If I root under magisk My Mate20Pro, I would not have access to the official update anymore?
Because I see that there are only two ROMs, so I do not want to miss the next official update ...
Thank you all!
Because Huawei don't allow bootloader unlocking you'll be extremely lucky if you get a working root. There is someone who says they sell a root (I'm not going to advertise them here - have a look at other threads) but I wouldn't trust them and the prices are ridiculous.
The reason there's so little development for the Mate 20 Pro is because BL unlock and root is not readily available so, if that's what you wanted to do, you've sadly bought the wrong phone.
im thinking of getting this phone. I loved my p30 pro but the lack of support and no bootloader unlock or root availability sucked. How is xiaomi with this? are they cool with letting you mod the phone with root, custom roms etc?
yes thats no problem an rom support u can get the xiaomi eu rom
wen u have that on u dont need anything else

Because it's far better than anything else.
I'm on xiaomi.eu right now, but looking forward to some AOSP ROMs like Pixel Experience or EvolutionX! Correct me if I'm wrong but now that the global version of the phone is out, I assume we can be expecting these in the coming months? Perhaps directly on Android 11?
Ok, so the phone can be bootloader unlocked and rooted? What about custom ROMs is that possible? I just don't want to spend the money and be stuck on their version of the os in any case I don't like it, just like it happened on emui with the p30 pro

Yes, that's both possible, however we don't know how many devs will buy the phone so there's that... Currently, I own the Mi Mix 2s and custom ROM support is awesome. I hope for something similar with the Mi 10. To unlock the bootloader you need a Xiaomi account, when I got my Mi Mix to years ago you had to apply for unlocking permission with something like "I want to develop stuff" or something, after a few days you would get a text that says permission granted. Afterward you start the mi unlock tool and then you have to wait for something between 3 and 30 days(for most people it was 14 days) until you could finally unlock.

Yeah it used to be like that but now to unlock bootloader you still need a Xiaomi account, but no need to apply for anything. There's a Xiaomi Bootloader Unlock Tool in their website and you can do it through that without needing to apply through their website/ forum. Might still need to wait a week or two after registering the phone to the account tho.
Coming from a P30 Pro, I now own the Mi 10 series & I unlocked both of them.
Waiting time in both cases has been 7 days.
So far I tried Xiaomi.eu ROM, which is based on the chinese ROM.
It's fully translated in several languages & also keeps the good stuff untouched, which you won't find in the official Global ROM.
There are stable builds and developer builds, that are regularly updated.
I also tried MiuiMix, which is based on the Xiaomi.eu ROM and is pre-rooted & tweaked for
more smoothness and better battery life (so they say).
It is either regularly updated.
I also hope for more custom ROMs (I liked Resurrection Remix on my Mate 10 Pro)...
hello,
since the Honor 9 isnt getting any security fixes anymore what can we do
about the BlueFrag security hole?
https://www.andreafortuna.org/2020/...-critical-bluetooth-vulnerability-in-android/
It seems right now the only chance would be phussons android 10 GSI
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/android-10-t3993461
since there are no Custom Android 9 or 10 ROMS with latest Google Security Fixes - correct?
If someone figures out how to bypass the bootloader that huawei put, then we can start doing this roms thing, until then, unfortunate people like me are stuck at a locked bootloader.
Well i can technically do the whole process of flashing my board again using dc unlocker and then unlocking my bootloader while I'm at it, but that's too much hassle, man, plus you need some money to spare. It's not worth it anymore unless you absolutely have to, I'm just happy with a working phone lol
thanks for answering - i'm also stuck at EMUI 9.1
and with this method?
wouldnt it be free?

then we could try some of theses ROMS out

Nope, u have to pay for it, and yeah, i'm waiting for them to find an exploit on the security that huawei put in their gpu turbo update, bec. that's the root of our problem, i heard that if you downgrade to a non-turbo firmware, it's gonna brick your device, so might as well be patient until the guys at dc phoenix figures out how to read bootloader codes on emui9.
Also I saw that openkirin has hw buttons fixed, i think it's the capacitive buttons fix that people often lose bec. of installing twrp, so i'm excited for that day that we can install openkirin roms

Hi All,
I have the 8gb/256GB EVR-AL00 which I bought to replace my L29..
There are several key things I do not like about the Chinese ROM, which were not an issue on my international L29. (Google voice wake, setting camera MP, Np bloatware, etc).
As such, would it be possible to load the INTERNATIONAL 10.1 ROM on the EVR-AL00? If so, does it require an unlocked bootloader (Huawei doesn't hand out unlock codes last time I checked). Just to be clear I have no problem unlocking the bootloader, rooting, etc but I do not think this is even possible at this time.
Any help and guidance will be much appreciated. Let's make this happen. "Aut inveniam viam aut faciam"
Thank you
Not possible and don't think it ever will be. Pretty sure all devs abandoned this device some time ago. And with Huawei changing to EROFS either with public release of 9.1 or 10 there is absolutely no way to root even with a bootloader unlock code.

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems too good to be true. An Indian sounding name and they're asking for $40 and TeamViewer (to take over my machine) for a job I can do on my own. Seems way too fishy and scammy.
Can anyone vouch for MinistryOfSolutions?

I'm super interested in hearing how it goes cause I've been debating about doing this for a month or so. If you could also say if you have to wipe the whole phone and what version you were running before it went through this process.
Rebrand is done today. My chinese EVR-AN00 has now the global EVR-N29 ROM. Everything seems to work so far.
Before rebrand, I downgraded to EMUI 9.1, but maybe this is not needed for the process.
My global ROM is EMUI 9.1 1 - for the moment no OTA update possible. We will try to solf this tomorrow.
My experience, MinistryOfSolution is a trustworthy and reliable business man.

I can 100% vouche for Ministry of Solutions! I just had him convert my AL00 to an L29. It is also a permanent fix. I have done all the latest OTA update including the latest for November with no issues.
Hey guys, I just had a session with Ministry of Solutions and for about 40 minutes my phone was fully converted from AL00 to L29.
I'm currently getting the OTAs...
Very happy with the service!
Just one note. To make the process faster and easier for him, make sure to downgrade to EMUI 9.0 with Hisuite (it is quite easy. Just make sure to backup your data).
