1. go to https://emui.huawei.com/ and log in with your HUAWEI ID
2. go to UNLOCK page and get your unlock key.
3. In settings of your phone search for HDB and enable that option.
4. go to settings > system > about phone and click few times on compilation number to enable programmer settings.
5. go back to settings > system > programmer settings and enable USB debugging and unlock OEM
6. download HiSuite, connect your phone and make Backup of everything that you need (unlocking bootloader wipes everything on your internal storage)
7. If you cant connect your device, try to do this https://ph.answers.acer.com/app/ans...windows-10:-disable-signed-driver-enforcement
8. download this zip and extract on your desktop. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1A0z2K1BjTzntPJe-1CqqUYv-NnXWi5vD
9. inside the folder hold SHIFT and press right click and click open power shell here.
10. type .\adb devices
11. type .\adb reboot bootloader
12. type .\fastboot oem unlock [your unlock key]
13. Press volume + on your phone to select YES and than power button to confirm.
14. Now your bootloader is unlocked and your phone will do the factory reset. Enjoy.

Nah bruh, I think you messed up. 22 marked the 60th day that bootloader codes would be given. I'm having major trouble to get my code. I think I'm going to give a shot to HCU-Client or DC unlocker. The only thing that sucks is that it is a paid service. And it seems sketchy as hell. Anyways maybe I'll inform the forums If I succeed. But to recap, Huawei isn't going to provide you a code as it seems. Maybe they'll start again. I heard XDA is in the talks with Huawei to persuade them to restart the procedure.

No "Enable OEM unlock" options in developer settings

Hey guys, I just tried to unlock my bootloader. I have obtained the unlock code and everything. I try to execute this command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock XXXX
, I always get stuck at
Code:
waiting for devices
1. I have updated my device drivers.
2. For some odd reason, the toggle for "Enable OEM unlock" is not present in the developer options.
3. Now, I have updated my KIW-L22 to B340 version recently. Maybe the toggle is removed in the recent update. Is there not any way to bring back that toggle so that I can unlock my bootloader?
Please guys, I need your help with this, if anyone has ever encountered this before, please tell me how to bring it back.

I had the same issue you don't need to toggle the option on marshmallow. The error looks like you need to do a sudo fastboot if your using linux.
The only other thing to remember is you need to remove the factory reset protection (frp) see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/unlock-bootloader-issues-kiw-t3411032

Just because that option is not available does not mean your bootloader is locked, plus you can unlock using ADB.
Just enable usb debug only

This option is not there in Marshmallow. not sure if there is still a way to unlock as this option itself is not there...try enabling USB debugging couple of times and see if it prompt you for authorisation. if it does, you can still do the required things.

I cant find mine either, but i have a suspicion that they just removed/edited the files to just have one state of locked and no controls or commands to unlock it.
Find out the file name and path for the "OEM unlock" setting in the developer options.
then search for it using the ADB, if the files aren't there then you might need to put the phone in to download mode and "sideload" the the full files back on to it.. if it's possible.
it might be more complicated than that. that's what i would've done as a Carrier if i wanted to keep modders and phone thieves out.
also on my Carrier phone when i put it into Download mode it seems to run like there own unlock before it does anything else, might need to run that first to unlock the lock so you can unlock it...
this is kind of a BS response, but at least it's an idea to look into. Sorry.
also you could try loading PDANet to see if the device will recognise.
Tamoghna Chowdhury from Android.stackexchange TOO NEW CAN'T POST LINKS said:
To unlock the boot loader you need to have the ADT with all the packages installed and configured.
Later once the configuration is done properly then you can connect your device and enable USB Debugging under the options.
Download Modaco’s Superboot files and save them to your computer.
Once downloaded, extract it by right clicking and extract all.
On your phone, click on Settings > Developer Options > Turn USB Debugging On.
Plug the device in to your computer via USB cable.
Open the superboot folder that we just extracted (until you see the folder with fastboot-windows inside it), then hold the shift key down on your computer and right click any blank area.
Now, select open command window here.
In the command prompt, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line.
adb-windows reboot bootloader (and wait for the device to reboot)
fastboot-windows oem unlock
(If it gets stuck at waiting for device here, download and install PDANet on your computer, once installed, unplug then plug the device back in and see if that fixes it)
Once it runs the device should display a screen asking you if you are sure. Click yes using the volume buttons. The device will go back to the bootloader screen but say unlocked at the bottom.

It's Ok,In Adb Write "adb enable oem unlocking"
I Learned That From A Video
Called:
"How To Unlock Bootloader-Huawei GR5 & Honor 5X EMUI 4.0"
From The Channel Called:"NoNDrOiD"

Is this method mentioned on MIUI forum to unlock bootloader working?

Title EDIT:
Link: http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html
My RN3 currently has Global MIUI 9 Global 7.11.23 | Beta ROM installed.
Yeah working, but it's unofficial unlock.

Thank you, Sir. I have tried the official method for the past seven days, but it gets stuck on 99% Account not bound to this device. That's why I searched for other methods.
Also, I am never going to flash MIUI ROM on my device again. Could the unofficial method still be a problem?

As you have official permissions first try to perform these steps & try unlocking :
> Locate device using MI cloud (find device) https://i.mi.com/
> check if the mail , phone are linked to your MI account
> Enable OEM unlocking & bind MI account with your device in developer options
> Download this https://mega.nz/#F!iQVFTB5Z!elmzC8piy8PukrOxiXHDFw connect the device to pc turned on - go to developer options & revoke USB debugging authorizations - now enable USB debugging - open cmd from the folder which you've downloaded - type adb devices ( hit enter button) - if it displays daemon started on port xxxx - you'll get a pop up on mobile ... accept it - disable pattern lock, num lock, etc delete fingerprints - now try unlocking logging in with a mobile number if it fails then email id & finally with mi account number.
Also make sure to wait for a week to unlock officially.
If everything fails you can proceed to unlock unofficially & remove ****UI from your phone.

Okay, Sir. I'd just like to point out the fact that I noticed one thing mentioned on that thread. It is specifically for Kate (Redmi Note 3 Special Edition) while my device is a plain Redmi Note 3 Kenzo with 2GB Ram and Hexa Core SnapDragon.
I think this might be a problem since that .mbn file mentioned on that page belongs to a different variant.
Can you please point me to the correct thread? Or a method that uses .mbn file to unlock bootloader on my device?

Honor 9 - (STF-L09C432B120) Doesn't find updates

So my problem is that I bought this phone from China, and the software that was put in it is the version (STF-L09C432B120) and it doesn't find updates. Do you know if I can put another version which will download the 8.0 update ? I am really worried that I might brick it.
Thanks in advance
I'm new here btw
Edit : does anyone here know how to unlock the boot loader ? Because I assume that I'll need to do that if I can install another ROM. (Yes. I am now aware that Huawei and Honor do not support it anymore.)

Update straight to C432B183 fullOTA-MF with androidapp 'Firmware Finder'.
Doing that, you won't mess your capacitives buttons and should be able to get normal oreo ota then.
It's told Firmware Finder doesn't work anymore since ~3months ; You'll have at least to try.
If not working, there is a C432B130 service repair firmware available for nougat. It flash in firmware mode (dload) and it need an usb-otg or microSD exfat formated.
---------- Post added at 21:21 ---------- Previous post was at 21:19 ----------
& Once on C432B130 you'll get the ota normally.
Still. I don't have a boot unlocker. And are you sure it won't brick it ?
Sure.
What do you mean by sure ?
Sure, i'm sure it won't brick.

This part is what I don't understand. How is it possible to downgrade a bootloader locked device from android 10 to Oreo without a signed android Oreo image that is accepted by the device?
There are only two options to get your phone downgraded with locked bootloader, first is Nokia Service Center and second is the websites that I've mentioned in the 1st post they'll downgrade your phone and provide you the unlock service.

isn't firmwarte DRG-237-WW.nb0 a signed firmware perfect for downgrading (with OST tool or SUT tool) ?
real question, i just bought a TA-1116 yesterday
If the image is signed, it can be flashed. They might have obtained signed firmware image from the employee in service center.

How to unlock bootloader without PC Nokia 6.1 plus
Techmesto released the tutorial to unlock the bootloader for some Nokia phones (including Nokia 6.1 plus) on june 21, 2021. Here is the link https://www.techmesto.com/guide-unlock-bootloader-nokia-android-phones/ (You must have a Windows machine)
I used it to unlock mine. It works
EDIT: It works. The timezone is EST as per my digging. I was able to unlock it for free.
Leaving below comment for historical reasons:
Their unlock works, apparently, 15 times a day, and the timezone is not mentioned. It is obviously an advertisement for their paid service.
From their website:
The OTP is valid for 15 minutes from generation.
Only 15 devices will be supported for unlocking in a day. After this further generation of OTPs will be disabled for the day.
Please contact us in case you have a bulk requirement.
There is no reason to believe they allow even 15 OTPs or even 1. Since they are obviously able to generate them in "bulk", I think it is best to not mention them here. Let them do their advertisement on Nokia forums.

@cubancigar11 You should first try it before dismissing it as advertisement. I used it to unlock my bootloader a few months ago.
Thanks. I was also able to unlock it after many tries. I have edited my comment to reflect this. Unfortunately there "donate" link is broken, otherwise I would have donated $5 which they quote as price.

Question Root Possibilities? - What has been tried and tested...

Hi All.
Yesterday I bought this thing and as with everything, I immediately attempted to begin rooting the damn thing.
Update: 6th of November 2021
I re-enabled Developer Options and OEM Unlocking became selectable. Don't know how.
NOTE #1: The Motorola Edge 20 Lite also is the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion
NOTE #2: This Motorola Edge 20 Fusion was bought in Australia with it Carrier Unlocked from JB HiFi (Tech shop)
So far I have been unsuccessful and as the 3rd of November 2021 am currently stuck at:
"Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
After 30 minutes of online chat with Motorola's support I ended up getting this response:
"Try to check if your device was listed here : https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215."
This info was already known to me
"You can reach-out some help at this site : Here's the link: https://forums.motorola.com/search?find=unlock+bootloader"
Yay. Great fun
The below steps are what I have tried so far
ROOT Attempt Steps
Enable Developer Options
Enable USB Debugging
Power off device
Power Button + Down Volume until startup
Volume Keys until "Recovery Mode"
Start
At "No Command" Hold Power and press the Up Volume
"Mount /System"
Enter FastBoot - This will restart once or twice
(On Windows) Open up cmd go to adb and fastboot installation folder
(On Windows) run "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" which should then "Wait for device"
Volume key to "Reboot to bootloader"
Eventually during the reboot it should provide you the oem unlock data
Follow the instructions here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
???
OEM Unlocking becomes selectable # NOTE: This became selectable on the 6th of November.
Profit
I am stuck at number 14 as for me it says "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking" and chatting with support tells me to go speak to a Developer on Lenovo's forum, but I would rather be dealing with XDA Developers honestly.
I am putting this all here for future men to attempt to figure out. Hopefully with time we will get a solution.
P.S. Two other options that I have seen elsewhere as well:
Factory Reset your device after getting your Sim Card installed and it Online
The it stay online for a Week and then "OEM Unlocking"
1st didn't work and I doubt 2nd will fix it.
Cheers.
> Root Possibilities? - What has been tried and tested...
It is possible.
Here is hints.
I already have rooted my Edge 20 Fusion with the standard ROM version RRK31.Q3-19-54
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-unlocked-bootloader-non-twrp-method.4222583/
You have to install the USB driver for Motorola smartphone before using adb.exe and fastboot.exe execution.
And execute adb.exe devices or fastboot.exe devices and check the connection between Edge 20 fusion and PC.
If the command says "Wait for device", it is failure the connection.
In good connection case, then we can see a DEVICE NAME.
The USB driver is here, https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/88481/
Maybe you get a little bit confuse because you can not find boot.img under "C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles\".
In my case, I found boot.img file under "C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles\".
These paths are a little bit diffirent.
Patch boot.img by the Magisk on your Edge 20 fusion.
You have to unlock the bootloader before flashing patched boot.img file into your Edge 20 fusion.
Edge 20 fusion have boot_a and boot_b partitions.
Enjoy!
how did you unlock the bootloader? officially through the moto website or unofficially using a tool like mtkclient?

Came here lurking from DuckDuckGo. Sounds promising.
Only query I have is: would it be currently possible to unbrick the phone in case something goes wrong?
Unlock code and 72 hours wait for OEM unlock option to change from grey.. Worked great for me.
I googled RRKS31.Q3-19-97-3 and found a link to firmware on androidfilehost
Only extracted the boot.img to patch in magisk.
Flashed to boot_a and boot_b in fastboot. Job done

I had re-installed latest ROM by the Rescue and Smart Assistant from a booting loop accident.
1 week ago, I had made my Edge 20 Fusion booting loop accident.
At that time, I had accidentally corrupted the file /system/build.prop file.
I was so paniced.
Fortunately my Edge 20 Fusion booted with the fastboot mode.
Then, I had rescued(re-installed) my Edge 20 Fusion by the Rescue and Smart Assistant.
the Rescue and Smart Assistant makes to install latest ROM.
I noticed that the quality of the camera has improved on ROM RRKS31.Q3_19_98.
I am so happy now ;-)
Maybe we can recover a Edge 20 Fusion with manually flashing ROM.
Please be careful, I have no experience or conviction for a manual recovering.
And you should get and memo two IMEI numbers(slot 1 and slot 2) before rooting your device.
Because the Rescue and Smart Assistant checks IMEI number for the identify a device when we try to rescue.
I didn't have IMEI, but I was able to rescue it.
How to boot with the fastboot mode.
Volume down button + Power button.
Enjoy rooted environment.
