I have recently purchased mate 10 pro and could not find mate 10 pro in devices i only found this forum. Also in the development section there are not many roms which i find a bit strange because the phone is not very new. Hope someone can help.

I believe that you are new here and don't know that the huawei phones would not enable us to install stock roms and we are not able now to unlock the bootloader anymore for free lol.
So there is no custom roms dear
Wtf how am I supposed to unlock the bootloader then I need more information quickly so I can cancel my purchase. Is it impossible to unlock bootloader now

Depends on your firmware. If Security Patch is June or later you won't be able to, at least not if you're on C432.
If you are on security patch may or earlier you will be able to use HCU client to get unlock code, but it's paid.
I can only confirm that it's not possible to get unlock code on C432B145+, I can't confirm for other cust but it will most likely be the same.
Edit: if it's a brand new phone it will likely come with factory firmware, unless the shop you bought it from updated it.
Even if I was able to unlock think it's likely that development will be very limited would I be right in thinking this.

I wouldn't say "limited" it depends what your looking for, obviously the best device development is for OnePlus and Pixels imo, but we still have RessurectionRemix, LineageOS, CarbonROM & OmniROM, that's 4 pretty recognisable ROM's :good:
Link to ROM's : https://openkirin.net/download/
To be honest, I had my first Mate 10 Pro rooted, and apart from an Ad blocker and YouTube Vanced there wasn't much I felt any need to install. Now Vanced can be installed without root, and Ad Blocker can run on various browsers, I don't see much point.
The Mate 10 Pro is a brilliant phone, I'm seriously considering selling my S9+ and going back to the 10 Pro - the battery life was far better, and I think the camera was better. I also hate the bent sides on the screen on the Samsung. Only thing I might missis Samsung Pay, but I'll just go back to contactless card.
Thanks to you guys and some further reasearch i was able to reach out to the person on ebay i had bought the phone from and cancel the purchase after explaining the situation with bootloader. I am still reeling from Huwaweis decision to stop bootloader unlocking and hope they one day reverse this decision. I really had my heart set on the mate 10 for obvious reasons but possible lack of bootloader unlock is just a no no for me on my current phone a xiaomi mi6 i regularly change roms and kernels sometimes twice a week so i certainly could not live with being stuck on Mui with no possibility of modifications xposed etc. And i did not want to take the risk of buying to only find out that the bootloder had been patched or something and id be stuck.
So now i have turned my attention to either the oneplus 5 or perhaps galaxy s8plus. Again thanks for your help guys.

Hi Guys,
I've been here a while and don't post much, but use the forum for info etc, and its a great source of information.
I have acquired a Mate 10 pro with a damaged screen - initially I was asked if I could put a new screen in it, but my work colleague has decided to buy a new phone and has basically given the phone to me.
My plan initially was to maybe sell it or repair it and then sell it, but I have discovered that you can rebrand these via FH to a dual sim, which is essential for me as I currently have a OnePlus 3 with dual sim.
My question is - I have contacted FH to ask if it is definitely possible on this Huawei and they have asked only if I have the unlock code - which I assume they mean the bootloader unlock code.
Its my first experience of all things Huawei and so I guess I would like to know how easy or difficult this is - not just in terms of the process as I have quite a bit of experience with flashing ROM's etc, but finding the info to unlock the bootloader (as I have read that this can sometimes be difficult), and FH haven't answered my question in terms of how many credits etc I will need to pay to do the full conversion from single to dual sim.
Many thanks in advance.

I assume thats a No then.
I did see that bootloader codes were hard to find, but I wondered if there was another way as its my first Huawei experience.
I didn't some research. It seems I have to unlock the bootloader first. Which means I need a code. And I have to buy a code from here?
https://www.dc-unlocker.com
Does this still work? The guide is over a year old.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/bootloader-unlock-guide-t3781275
Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes but you need to downgrade the firmware (<8.0.0.136 or similar, i cannot remember exactly) . Because they have fixed, with latest versions, a backdoor used by dc-unlocker to get the bootloader code.
Cheers

Hmm. This is interesting. I actually haven't opened it yet. It's still sealed in the box. Just in case I had to return it. So there's a chance that it could be at a low enough firmware.
I remember i get the code with the 8.0.0.86 firmware, but check the right thread (here) to find the last one to get the code.

Cool. Thanks. So I need to buy number 3 from this list?
http://i.imgur.com/KfOQDZ8.jpg
If you read the forum, the correct item is number 40 "Read Unlock Codes for Huawei Hisilicon Kirin Android phones".
Bye
I just opened it. And it says that my build number is SHT-W09 8.0.0.173 (C567)
So I'm guessing this means it has to be downgraded.
I ended up getting rid of my M3 and never upgraded to an M5 because of not being able to root or root easily. I ended up running the M3 stock for a while and it was a great tablet, but with all the US bans and back doors to your info from Huawei, I got rid of the M3 and had to move to an iPad mini 5. I would have loved a mini pro version, but this will work for now. I liked the media aspect of the M3 and M5, but all the security issues and lack of root I couldn’t do it anymore. Not to mention there isn’t much other there that are good 8” tablets on the market.

... especially because the iPad is so easy to root ...?
we all know jail breaking an iPad isn’t easy, if it is even possible anymore. Most of the reasons to root an android have better applications than a jailbreak on iOS. I like android tablets a lot more than iOS, but the 8” tablet sector isn’t great anymore. Last great one was the Samsung tab s 8.4 that I thought hit all the marks. I’m just saying I like the M3 and wanted to get an m5 but there are way too many negatives to that brand and tablet now.
I currently own the US model of this device. I've done some digging in the forums but I never really come up with very much. If anyone could help I'd be willing to try just about anything to get this phone rooted as long as there's a recovery option. I've read in other threads that the European model can be rooted but the US version has no such luck. If anyone has anymore information please post a reply I would love to get a discussion started. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, yes your appear to be right. I haven't been able to find anything on this device as far as the U.S. version goes anyway. Apparently, the European version has already been rooted with Magisk and an unlocked bootloader. Although no one has said much of anything about this one. I hope there some development soon!!
A shame these dont yet have bootloader unlock etc.. Its a great phone with Awesome specs on it.
I picked up a Like NEw one for 200.00 (u.s. sprint) version. I use it on t-mobile.

Well it has according to the LG website. Didn't try it out yet.
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
• LG V50S: LMG850EMW/LMG850EMWX for the European market
This is the LG G8X (check your device info).
We'll probably have to wait for Firehose to be released for LG Snapdragon 855 to have any hopes for unlocking on Non EU variants
No bootloader unlock available? Was checking developer settings and was able to turn on OEM unlock. Would really like to see some AOSP ROMs available for this phone.
I am very glad to be getting replies here. However, US models are still unrootable as far as I can tell its not listed for the US region but is listed for EU. So far no new updates. Please keep the conversation alive though!! Need a developer to start cracking down on this device please!
If anyone knows any developer's willing to work on this device I will quite literally give them payment to develop a working root method for this device. No joke. I'm not very sure how much power developers have over this device. But I would really love to find out.

You could probably start a Bounty thread like they did with the V50 and G8.

How would I go about doing this? Not all that familiar with Xda honestly. I rooted my old phone thanks to this site but I wouldn't know how to contact any developers on this subject.
A shame that this high end phone does not yet have root/rom. (in u.s.) You can pick these up fairly inexpensively (on ebay..as I did)
Hope LG is able to get bootloader unlocked one day or I may have to go back to Xiaomi / Oneplus
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well considering this same device is rooted it would likely mean that eventually we will have something. It might take awhile however. The EU version is definitely rooted and even compatible with Magisk having an unlocked bootloader is fantastic. Especially in this time. However since our country is a bit more controlling when it comes to phone data we may not see one until this device is obsolete. Meaning that LG will have made their money on it and therefore feel safe releasing a bootloader unlock officially..
Hello,
I am about to buy this phone.
I am surprised to see this forum so empty...
Do you know if/how this phone can be rooted ?
Do customs Recoverys and/or ROMs exist ?
Thanks
I dont know i wait for something on xda bit there is only couple o things un there
Hi,
searching a little on the net, I found that Oppo is reluctant to allowing for bootloader unlock and therefore is kind of blocking custom ROMS development, root, etc.
Therefore I decided to get rid of that phone (moreover I figured out that ColorOS is very limited compared to the custom roms I am used to, and the Wifi at my work could not connect, although it works great with all other phone brands).
I am also having difficulties to sell the phone, nobody really seem to be interested in it.
I bought a Xiaomi Mi 10T pro instead, which looks much better....
Won't buy Oppo again until they change their bootloader policy.
Good luck to you.

There is a specific option in this phone to unlock the boot loader.
Does somebody has a guide to root the find x3 lite?
So I had sprint for years. Had the note 4 until 3 years ago when I switched to the note 9 /U and couldn't root it... very terrible.
So jot tmibile bought sprint and I don't like tmobile. So I'm switching to AT&T which i also don't like but I can add GSM phones so thats my path.
My question is which of the latest Samsung note phones is best for rooting meaning which model number should I buy from Amazon or ebay that can be both rooted and unlocked bootloader?
I was going to do the fold 3 but apparently samsung kills the camera. . Shame...
Rooting isn't necessary or even desirable.
The 10+ running on Pie* is a strong running, very stable phone once optimized.
Next best choice is the 20U.
The Fold3 and S21U are duds with no SD card slot, no spen and/or numerous hardware issues**.
If the 10+ or 20U aren't to your liking wait until next year for the new Note release.
*last good Android OS and with no scope storage, fully supports trusted overlay apks.
**Fold3 hardware issues... wait they're coming
Ok. So I definitely want root and customs roms which means unlocked bootloader.. thank you for the vote of confidence with stock phones but my question was clear and opinion is not an answer to the question. Again, which phone model is best, meaning specific model number, for rooting and roming. I know there are 2 chinees versions of the note 10 and note 20 as well as a few others from other countries meaning non "U" versions, Which is best? Some people just fail to read and answer properly. I wonder wtf is wrong with people... i didnt ask for opinion on non-rootable or otherwise non unlock able bootloaders and clearly was asking for non "U" version yet some daft schmuck says get the U version... duhhh...

Meh, it's a lick on you... do it your way.
Do your homework and go to the appropriate forum for each phone and see what users are able to do. Brain picking is just laziness...

Well I wouldn't call it laziness... I might instead, call it a request from experience. Some may say well... this model has an unlock able bootloader but only some do while others don't. And maybe this model does have unlocked bootloader but doesn't have many options, while this other model is unlockable usually at&t doesn't accept it. And so on. How did you achieve senior member? Must be by trolling reasonable members... thanks but please shut up on my thread. Go elsewhere and post. Thanks again.
You can unlock the bootloader now on any 9 series us device upto fold 2 s21 provided they on the right bootloader version. Its a paid service but is possible. Root is going strong
