Good evening all.
I have an SGP771 which I have owned for over a year now. I have been reading up about rooting and flashing this device. At the moment I am in a quandary as to whether I can unlock the bootloader or not. When I enter. *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialer and look at the Configuration menu from the service menu the Rooting status reads as Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No. When I enter the Developer Options there is a toggle for OEM Unlocking - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked, which I have switched to on. Developer options are also switched on.
Can anyone tell me if there is any way to root and flash this device?
Many thanks.
Hello @weazil60
Did you make it unlocking your bootloader ? I ve got the same issue with my z4 tablet.
Maybe I am going to apply this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/z4-tablet/general/guide-safe-bootloader-unlock-restore-t3362391 to see if I can unlock my bootloader that way (they did nt say there are cases it should not work) ...
I am interested in installing LineageOS but not sure if LineageOS plays well with the physical bkb50 bluetooth keyboard ...
Good evening Pierro78.
Unfortunately I received no replies and decided just to stick with using Firefox Focus to avoid ads (this was my main issue).
If you are successful with your modification please let me know.
Best of luck - weazil60.
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there are any ways to know if the Huawei P20 Lite has its bootloader unlocked or not without erasing all of its datas. I am looking for a way to root it without paying for its bootloader code, as I am unsure if these are scams or if my phone is already unlocked.
I bought it on amazon, it's not affiliated to any mobile company, so I thought maybe it's unlocked... Or are the mobile company lock different from the bootloader lock ? It's also from EU (France); ANE-LX1 (C109) model.
I am a complete neophyte into this, as the only other phone I ever root was a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which was a very easy task.
I saw guides on how to root it without its bootloader code but I have no idea which to trust. I don't ask for you to search for me; I have tabs and tabs opened but I am also anxious by the idea of trying anything that could lock it and force me to pay for its bootloader.
Thanks for your answers ! Have a good day ! (6:25 am when I'm writing this here ^^)
EDIT : Well the more I read about rooting it the more I'm thinking it's not for newcomers.. Any tips/easy guides ? Because I feel like every guides I found are assuming that you already know things.. Which I don't :c

Hello,
- "I am wondering if there are any ways to know if the Huawei P20 Lite has its bootloader unlocked or not" -
everytime the phone starts up, it goes to a screen saying: "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." (the most reliable method)
- "Or are the mobile company lock different from the bootloader lock ?" - yes, you can check SIM-lock status in "Project menu" - dial *#*#2846579#*#* from the phone dialer, select Network Information Query > SIM Lock Info
- "how to root it without its bootloader code but I have no idea which to trust." - best way to brick your phone
If you intend to unlock your bootloader , you have to downgrade to Oreo - EMUI 8.0 via HiSuite , then you must downgrade to lower build number with Google patch 04.2018-06.2018 . Now you can get bootloader unlock code for 4euros - DC-Unlocker.com or hcu-client.com.
Each bootloader code is permanent, it wont expire, you can use the same bootloader code to unlock if your bootloader will be lock again for some reason.
For further explanations try asking here.
Edit: you can use also paid service :

i have a t-mobile samsung tablet SM-T357T, and i need help unlocking the bootloader to root. i look in developer options, and there is no option to unlock the OEM. any help?
I have a oneplus from metro by T-Mobile and in developer options the OEM unlock option is there but I can't click on it is a really light color gray does this mean I can't unlock the bootloader? Please help I'm a noob
Apparently, your device is locked by carrier. I doubt that you will be able to unlock it. Anyways, according to your words I wouldn't advise to touch developer settings at all.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my phone, but I can't find the OEM Unlock switch, but im not in china rom i think and the oem unlock switch disappeared after an update if im not wrong. Any tips? (p.s. im gonna buy unlocktool AND the code for the bootloader for my P40 Lite E)

Go in fastboot mode with your phone and then fastboot OEM unlock "code"
i was going to recommend potatonv, but it is not supported with your chipset

UPDATE: with UnlockTool I mamaged to semi-unlock the bootloader with testpoint, but because I can't find the OEM Unlock switch in Developer Options whenever I try to fully unlock the bootloader I end up with nothing. Now im trying to switch my firmware region from C432 to C232 to see if something changes in the Developer Options. (I have an Honor 8x with C55 and C233 firmware regions, still in emui 10, and I can see the OEM Unlock switch.)
Download hisuite, make sure to enable HDB in settings, type it in search at top of settings, revert back to last rom or downgrade to a previous version, just like magic, OEM unlock returns to developer options.
I have a p40 lite e, honestly, if you can, bin it and get another model. It's not worth the fuss. Or the price of an unlock code.

Don't worry I also have plenty of other Huawei phones, I used to be a big Huawei Fam. Back to the HiSuite thing, I did all the steps, and when I try to Roll Back the option "Switch to another version" isnt there. I tried to downgrade with sd card dload method to 10.1.0.112(C432), nothing happens in Developer Options.
