Hey guys and girls.
Does anyone have experience with Funkyhuawei with a phone that Huawei didn't give the bootloader unlock code to?
Preferably a Mate 20 Pro of course.
I'm thinking about giving it a try but I would obviously have no TWRP and no Magisk.

I got my phone from funkyhuawei, 8gb 256 gig model. They say they cant provide the boot loader unlock code as it is locked from Huawei. At this moment in time it is not possible to unlock it.
I used FunkyHuawei for updates for my P20 Pro with a locked bootloader since OTA updates never seemed to arrive and the service works well. Since they only have build 122 currently for the International Mate 20 Pro which I am already on I haven't tried it with the Mate 20 Pro yet.
Bootloader unlocking codes and rebranding aren't going to be offered for this phone and the rooted Mate 20 Pro phones they were selling apparently lose root the first time you update the OS so that was a complete waste of money.
I'm happy with the update part of their service but they don't respond to emails--ever. The best way to get FunkyHuawei updates is via Twitter.
I ordered an accessories bundle from them for the Mate 20 Pro but haven't received anything so far including anything to indicate that my order was ever received, processed or shipped (it's been a week) so the jury is still out on their store. The order was paid for with PayPal so I know they did get my money.
It seems like FunkyHuawei might be a one man operation.
I didn't know that they do sell physical products like a pre rooted device.
However, I did get a very minimalistic reply to my support request.
Since I don't know the service and the price of the root service for one phone is quite high, I don't want to risk spending money for nothing.

Hi Team. Picked up unlocked m10 pro from UK store. Put my 3 sim network in there and it's totally rebranded as a 3 phone (boot animation etc.) And not a factory reset clears it down. Other sims work but I want rid of it really. Any ideas? Thanks
You can't now. Only way is to rebrand it European build C432
Boy I'm glad T-Mobile doesn't do that stuff here in the US!
It's because 3 mobile UK have an exclusive to sell it on contact I believe
Thanks for the input peeps. Rang Huawei and they said ring 3 shouldn't be happening and also swap device 'again' back at carphone whorehouse. I'm no stranger to flashing stuff but there isn't a great deal out there on rebranding to C432 as stated previous. Any decent guides? Cheers

This is the thread you need to rebrand, the other option would be to go back to wherever you bought tickets, swap it for a new handset, get Vodafone SIM, and make sure that's the first sim you install, it has no branding as such, just two apps which can be removed.

I bought one as well and it's also branded 3 but that's about it, apart from the Huawei apps it's fine
Are your wanting to rebrand because of the splash screen

the rebranding for 3 is for a reason i believe but not sure, i've still not received an update from huawei regarding the re-branding of the phones when you place a 3 sim in it.
i think the reason is to allow the phone to use the 3 wifi calling without the actual app, i pixel xl won't work on 3 unless i use the app, but the mate 10 pro works. I've also heard that the wifi calling features of the phone do not work on O2 without an app, so it could be for this reason the phone updates and installs their bootloader.
The price is negotiable.thank you very much
no one
Funky Huawei offers that service but it's expensive and there have been a lot of complaints that people still haven't received their unlock code weeks after paying.
I don't know of anyone else that currently offers it.

the price is very important because the price we can buy a new mobile right now
The phone will arrive in a few days, figured I should start a thread in advance.
I've unlocked and rooted every phone I owned since the HTC HD2. I've tried to prepare but I've hit a wall everywhere I looked. All the methods of unlocking bootloader and rooting seem to be outdated.
Is there still a way to root the Mate 20 Pro? I'm willing to spend some money to get it done but it seems the unlock codes are no longer available, I haven't found an alternative way to do so.
Unfortunately for now there is no way to have BL unlock codes for Huawei, but sometimes you can buy them from third party services like FunkyHuawei (don't buy it from them tho) or Global Unlocking etc.. But you have to be quick cause, it's available only for a few days.. I got my BL unlock code for free on here so just be patient and check XDA as often as possible..
But the prices have varied a lot lol it started at $155 to 6$ (the cheapest I could see) , don't pay too much for it
Ps : maybe @crys18 can help you to have a code? (This awesome man provided me a free BL unlock code and many others too, but he offers good prices when the BL unlock codes are available.
Phone arrived today, just started tinkering with it. Bought on ebay, BOE display if it matters. Where would I go to stay updated on when bootloader unlock codes become available?
Got this phone as a gift from my dad, and was exhilarated because my old phone was starting to disfunction,
had battery leakage problems and just had became a pain to use.
While the Huawi p30 lite is globally a good phone, the functionalities that I got used to thanks to 5 years of root
are starting to really miss me. I heard that I could buy a code (to unlock bootloader) from funky huawei, global unlocking and others
but don't know if there is any valuable content available post-root for this phone specifically.
Any custom rom/kernel, cool mod, etc.
And all around would it be worth it?
Thank you

You cannot buy unlock codes any longer, Huawei stopped giving them out, and other sites do not work regardless of their claims
So you are stuck with any new Huawei with no root

He's not talking about FRP unlock for lost or stolen phones, he's talking about bootloader unlock code.
you should use paid tools to unlock it

Huawei p30 lite root
Hello everybody. I have a simple Question about root on this model, is it possible to do? And if it is possible, tell me how Please. Best regards Wojtek

i just wanted to start a thread for the japanese version of this phone which seems nobody have. you can get them cheap from japan for less than 100 USD that's locked to one of the big 3 there. I got a softbank one and asked around so far there is no way to defeat the sim lock. the device can have bootloader unlock option is there. is there a way to remove sim lock once the phone is rooted? sony is nice you can use qunlock tool and doesn't matter what lock. my first time messing with LG and an oppo that is another story, waiting for some indian dude to send the 16 digit code. the LG i asked ebay services and one website so far nobody can unlock it. so i come here to see if there are other ways to unlock it.
also are the hardware the same as other v60? i know sony xperia have different modem hardware and have some bands locked down.
these are nice enough for the price you can enjoy for audio and home or toddler use.
I don't know the answer to your specific question but I will tell you I tried getting a remote sim unlock (from a site that seemed to have good reviews) and it ended up bricking my phone. The only reason it's booting again now is from help from a member on here. The problem now is it has no imei number at all.
Before I tried the remote unlock I bought an unlock code from 2 different websites the first refunded me in a few hours saying they could not unlock my device and the second one never sent anything or refunded so I've sent an email to them.
So I would be wary of the remote unlocks if you found any available.
so far i tried 3 companies.
1. unlockbase, payment goes to unlockjp.com, sent 10 usd, said will refund, this one is for an oppo phone. this one you have to chat with whatsapp and original wanted to send money with SBI bank, DBBL bank, BML, USDT Tether us, all Indian stuff and also take paypal just a little more money. the guy on the chat seems nice. even has their own facebook page, i'll give them a few days to refund.
2. the unlocking company, also can't find code for the LG and will refund take up to 10 days. will wait, very good communications from this one.
3. cellunlocker.net, pretty much refund the same day, this one is good company.
i gave up unlocking the oppo and LG, AU and Softbank respectively for now. just gonna pay for the two sony phone unlock with qunlock. can't go wrong with that one. just some info for the internet if they come across these companies. i will write back when i get money back for the first two.
Oppo has a software unlock but i think only works for the older models.
