Can i root my mate 10, bought it today
if it has android 8 and below a certain update of anroid 8 then you can use dc unlocker to read unlock code and unlock bootloader and then do whatever you want and if that is not the case you are out of luck.

HI guys. I want to by the mate 10 pro version but can the bootloader be unlocked?
Another question is that if the phones bootloader is unlocked and rooted do I loose some features?
What do you guys recommend, Mate 10 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S8+?
Thanks
Anyone? I want to buy the mate 10 pro but can the bootloader be unlocked? Or can the phone be rooted with locked bootloader?
If you like root and trying custom roms i advise you to go to S8+

Yes, but the free service Huawei offers will stop 24th of July.
You will probably still be able to unlock with dc unlocker but it cost money to use.
You can't root without unlocking.
Got it.
Another question, with unlocked bootloder and root do I loose some features of the phone?
some of them lose Android pay functionality and probably you will loose warranty
Huawei has apparently closed the the possibility to unlock the bootloader for the future.
Does this mean, there is no other way to unlock the bootloader with their devices and instal custom ROMs?
You can still get unlock codes. I have got mine for Mate 10 just today in the event I decide I want to unlock after 22nd July.
Thanks for this hint, halfcoast!
But i - and a lot other users - do not have a huawei phone yet and only think about buying one in the future depending on if it's unlockable or not.
Does the "huawei service" stop on the 22nd July and no unlock codes and no other unlock method, no customROMs for the mate 10 and their other phones afterwards?

My understanding is that after the 22nd, they won't be providing any codes to unlock anymore.
U can't unlock bootloader after 22.07.2018 = the death for custom roms
I will sell my Mate 10 Pro and never buy again a Huawei device. So easy...
Guys if I request an unlock code the keep it without do anything with my device I will lose my warranty?
Even without unlocking bootloader?
I have mate 10 pro c432
Mate the 10 pro be with you
You only loose warranty when you unlock your device, even then you can relock it and it should be fine to take back for warranty

What nzzane wrote is correct. I had an honor 6x that I unlocked then found a screen problem, relocked it and had no problems with a replacement.
Does unlocking the bootloader on my Mate 10 Pro have any effect on the device as in with LG you get the warning screen on every boot or on Sony devices you lose DRM keys resulting in bad camera quality?, I have no plans to root or install custom ROMs at the moment, but if it will no longer be possible after the 24th then I'd rather do it and have the option, as long as nothing is sacrificed.
Thanks for any feedback
Thx all for the answers. Till when u can get unlock code? Any link for the correct site?
Mate the 10 pro be with you
Hello xda.
So I got this problem I bought my mate 10 lite 9 months ago and at that time it was Android 7 and I waited for Android 8 for the face unlock (I know I am wired lol) and also I missed the opportunity to get my code to unlock my bootloader. And I haven't received the update to date. I contacted Huawei and they didn't say much -.-.
My question is there a way to receive my update without unlocking bootloader
My info
Model: RNE-L21C185B101
Emui: 5.1
Security patch: Sept 2017
Hello,
I've got Huawei Mate 10 Lite with Android 8.0.0 and I need unlock my bootloader. Have you got any ways for it? I don't wanna paying for any codes..
I think that You can not unlock it for free, since the huawei closed their website.
