HI guys. I want to by the mate 10 pro version but can the bootloader be unlocked?
Another question is that if the phones bootloader is unlocked and rooted do I loose some features?
What do you guys recommend, Mate 10 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S8+?
Thanks
Anyone? I want to buy the mate 10 pro but can the bootloader be unlocked? Or can the phone be rooted with locked bootloader?
If you like root and trying custom roms i advise you to go to S8+

Yes, but the free service Huawei offers will stop 24th of July.
You will probably still be able to unlock with dc unlocker but it cost money to use.
You can't root without unlocking.
Got it.
Another question, with unlocked bootloder and root do I loose some features of the phone?
some of them lose Android pay functionality and probably you will loose warranty
Guys if I request an unlock code the keep it without do anything with my device I will lose my warranty?
Even without unlocking bootloader?
I have mate 10 pro c432
Mate the 10 pro be with you
You only loose warranty when you unlock your device, even then you can relock it and it should be fine to take back for warranty

What nzzane wrote is correct. I had an honor 6x that I unlocked then found a screen problem, relocked it and had no problems with a replacement.
Does unlocking the bootloader on my Mate 10 Pro have any effect on the device as in with LG you get the warning screen on every boot or on Sony devices you lose DRM keys resulting in bad camera quality?, I have no plans to root or install custom ROMs at the moment, but if it will no longer be possible after the 24th then I'd rather do it and have the option, as long as nothing is sacrificed.
Thanks for any feedback
Thx all for the answers. Till when u can get unlock code? Any link for the correct site?
Mate the 10 pro be with you
Because Huawei shut down the unlocking service, will there be another way to unlock the bootloader?
I have been looking to buy a new phone but I need it to be able to support lineage. Sadly, Nokia 8 seems long off bootloader unlocking.

Do note that although there are ways to get your bootloader unlocked unofficialy, custom ROMs are still a long way from stable. There are no active developments for the P20 lite itself and the Treble ROMs do not support notch yet and are not stable enough to be daily drivers.
I am sorry if there is/are already topic similar to this.
I cannot find the right answer to my questions. Again, I am sorry.

1. You might be able to if you downgrade to a previous build. First try downgrading through hisuite to Oreo. If that doesn't work you can find service (dload) firmware on androidhost.ru.
This is only to get Oem unlock back as it's required to be enabled to unlock phone.
2. No
3. Unlocking is safe, but as written above you need oem unlock to be able to unlock, else you can't use fastboot.
4. It is on Mate 10 Pro, but that's only because of OLED display. And it's part of EMUI, so you don't need to root for it... But I'm not sure if anyone else managed to port it over.
Thanks for the reply Sir,
Now my questions are;
1. Are there available Oreo that are already Unlocked Bootloader or clickable OEM Option in the Developers tab?
*If there are, does it mean I only need to Root it right?
2. If I downgrade to Oreo, can I use the latest Custom ROMs that are base from Android Pie?
3. How safe is Downgrading, or what is the success rate of Downgrading using HiSuite Software?
Thank you again for those who will reply to my questions.
Note: Huawei can't give us a Bootloader Code. Ho can we unlock our devices now?

Downgrading via HiSuite is totally safe and if the option is available, has a 100% success rate. It will however relock your bootloader despite the OEM Unlock option being available on developer options.
Do you have your device unlock code?

I don't have access to my Bootloader Code. Huawei has stop giving away Bootloader Codes last year.
Do you know cheap Unlocker Software that you can recommend to me?

Funky Huawei is the only working one I know of but it's a tad bit costly.

Unfortunately DC Unlocker doesn't work for the Huawei Mate 10 Pro if you updated beyond 8.0.0.142.

I'm referring to the Mate 10 ALP-L29 -- not the "pro" version. Does DC unlocker work for that lineup (or up to what firmware, if you know)?

It's the same if you've updated after 13th September. That's when Huawei tweaked something that DC Unlocker are yet to figure out.

They changed keys used to get the code. So DC can't access it without a working key.

It should. I do know that someone on here paid for it... But not sure of the outcome.
Ask their support (details at the bottom of the description) if they still do this service.

I was on .129 december patch and with dc unlocker for $5 it read my bl unlock code just fine and it worked to unlock my phone.
hi, im wondering what I need to do to root this phone.
thanks
First of all, you need the code to unlock bootloader.
If you don't have that code yet, it's a bit hard to get it, since the US ban.
