Hello.
I got my bootloader unlock code since 2 months from when i requested it and i have it backed up, but still haven't "applied" it. I just don't want to do it yet, but i have it in case i want to install different ROM in the future.
So can i apply the bootloader code in the future or is it recommended to do it now?
Thanks!:laugh:
The code will permenantly remain the same so do as you like

Yesterday I rooted my Honor 9, using the unlock code that I requested the first week I bought the phone, 8 months ago!
I waited so long to be sure the phone works OK, and because I could live without rooting... but finally I couldn't resist !
Nevermind... unlock code was still active 8 months later, even after some updates and changing version of Android. So don't worry!!
The bootloader code is tied to the bootloader, so it will work forever.

I bought Redmi note 3 Snapdragon variant last week (miui 7 preinstalled). updated my Miui 7 to 8 (Miui Global | Stable 8.0.1.0 - LHOMIDG) through OTA. i though installing CM rom but unfortunately I need to unlock bootloader first, then I came to know that i need to request unlock permission from here "miui.com/unlock/apply.php". luckily i got my unlock permission yesterday. now whenever i am trying to unlock bootloder though miui unlock tool, it stuck on 50% Couldn't verify device. So what should i do to pass that error?
there are a lot of videos available regarding this problem on youtube ... you can search for this and get your problem resolved.
From my experience, I will suggest you to wait a week more.
I faced the same problem when I went for the unlock a day after my permission was granted, but after a week it unlocked after a single try.

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.
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
dear xda community,
i just recieved my mi pad 4, and asked myself what todo after the first boot. i am still waiting for bootloader unlocking (360h) and want to flash a gsi after that period of time, till that would like to use the pad with miui.
How i am able to see if i got a fake shop rom installed with some bloat/spyware on it and whats the best next step to get rid of it.
thanks.

AFAIK if the bootloader is locked, nothing except the signed MIUI official (stable/dev) can be installed. So if you have a locked bootloader, you cannot have the "fake shop rom".
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?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/downgrade-unbrick-honor-9-imei-fix-t3934363
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

to unlock bootloader, try the potatonv method. I commented it here:
Using Honor 9 after EOL / Unlock bootloader / Flash custom rom
Hi everyone, since Huawei apparently dropped support for the Honor 9 a while ago, I'm getting concerned of my phone being a security risk as the Android security patch is of july 2019. As my 3-year-old phone is still working totally fine, I was...
