Mate 10 Pro - Bootloader & Rebranding question - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

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.

Really need help with unlocking bootloader

Hello, everyone. I'm sorry if this is a repeat question, but I am seriously at my wit's end here.
Awhile ago I got myself an CC Ascend Mate 2 and was looking to update it to either Lollipop or Marshmallow. I'm a little new to this kind of thing, but thankfully there seem to be enough guides out there on the internet to work with .
What I cannot work out is unlocking the bootloader.
I've searched everywhere I could for all the methods to get the code for this beginning part, and all of them either no longer works or does not seem to be an option judging by other comments on this and other forums. I first tried this unlocker toolkit as suggested in a guide I found online (Can't link for now, being new and all), only to find out that this no longer works. Then I read about having to email HUAWEI for the code. While I have yet to do this, I have read this no longer works due to them redirecting you to an automated unlocker page online, which I also cannot get to work for the life of me. I always seem to get a "server is busy" error, no matter how many times I've tried to access it. Shortly after that, I found Super Bass's video which showed him getting the code from accessing the Chinese version of the site. While I can actually access that, it changed somewhat since his video to require actually typing in the model and requiring a product ID. I tried downloading a Huawei product ID generator, based on what I've read and watched after that, and inputting the ID for HUAWEI Y300-0000 after inputting my IMEI number, and now it says that my SN and IMEI do not match.
I am certainly not the most tech-savvy person out there, especially when it comes to rooting, and installing ROMs onto phones. But I feeling I'm getting way too much of a headache when I have barely even started anything yet. Even though a lot of information regarding unlocking and support for the Ascend Mate 2 seems a little outdated, some people have found success with it just barely 2 months ago with these methods that I am now struggling to get to work. If anybody could lend a hand, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
P.S. Another quick question. I read that after unlocking the bootloader I have to change my phone from CC to OEM. Is that absolutely required and what happens if I try to proceed without doing so? Thank you once more.
Pm Me your numbers I believe you need model, producy, and serial, and IMEI off of THE BOX .
Can I try PMing you my numbers Davinci? Been trying but without luck sadly.
Go ahead send em @MoochiBall

mate 10 pro

Hi i hope hope someone can clear a few things up for me i am a bit confused is this the correct forum for mate 10 pro as well as normal mate 10. 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

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.

Should I give up on project Treble?

Hello, I bought a Honor 10 COL-TL10 version, after Huawei stopped giving codes for unlocking the bootloader, therefore, I don't have twrp, root and I see complicated to have any Treble rom on this phone (I don't like very much emui) and I don't see many development on Honor 10. Should I give up? Or do you think there is any hope in the future?
Ps. I came from a OnePlus 5, and still have it, and it has way more development, but I'm not completely comfortable with the big size of that phone; honor 10 it's a little bit more compact and easy to use with one hand. I'm not quit sure what to do.
Best Regards =)!
same problem, I tried to ask for an unlock code via email support but they are refusing to give it anymore. I will try to insist but I have very little hope
Same for me. I'm hoping that third party unlocking programs (like DC-unlocker) will support the Honor 10.
I don't know... Maybe in future but not right now for sure
try to ask by email different customer services in different countries, what was not possible in my home country was possible in Germany for instance
also some people reported success with DC unlocker despite their model officially not supported, so just need someone to try

Did they give you a unlock code after the site closed?

Huawei Y530 Bootloader Unlocking

Hey Folks,
i just got the old Huawei Ascend Y530 from my Mum, and thought i may be playing around with it. So i started diggin about Huawei Rooting and Stuff.
From what i understood, they ********* stopped providing Unlocking Codes, thus its not possible to root them at all. I sent them an email as described in the (outdated) Y530-Wiki, they denied. They redesigned the Chinese Site as well, so i think no chance here.
Obviously, im not willing to pay more than Buck for a 6 Years old, Android 4.x Phone.
So i might be just disappointed and stop here. I did a last quick search, and ran across this: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/generate-free-factory-huawei-phone-unlock-codes
So i kindly wanted to ask - is there somebody with an DC-Unlocker Dongle around, willing to help me out with that old phone, and generate a free BL Unlock Code for me?

Question Root ?

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?
