I want to unlock bootloader, but in web of huawei said " The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days".
Previously I also tried UnLock honor 8 without asking for anything

Hi, I would like to see what the bootloader unlock does exactly do to the raw flash storage. Older phones can be fully unlocked that way, without official permission. Obviously, I need to read out the raw partitions before and after unlocking. The easiest way is to get root and backup from MIUI.
Does anybody know how to root the stock MIUI without unlocking the bootloader? Re-locking does not count.
Does a bootloader-locked, unrooted, stock MIUI let you downgrade? An older ROM might have security bugs that let you root it.
Known pieces of the puzzle, if going the root route:
* Earlier Xiaomi devices let you unlock the bootloader by writing to the devinfo partition. Both the Redmi Note 3 (kenzo) and Redmi Note 4 (mido) still have the bits set at 0x10 and 0x18 as described in the link. But Xiaomi changed things starting with the Redmi Note 5 (whyred) - it has a bit set at 0x90 in an otherwise conspiciously empty devinfo partition.
* The Sony Xperia XZ1 compact can be rooted without unlocking. For that phone, it's motived by DRM.
* How to take complete control of pre-2016 phones. Today, this can serve as a tutorial. Beyond my abilities.
The second way would be to read out (and write to) the phone in EDL mode, or memory debug mode, ...., before and after unlocking the bootloader. Known pieces of the puzzle:
* Zeroing out the abl_a and abl_b partitions might grant read/write access to the raw flash as a mass storage device. This is memory debug mode, similar to EDL. If it doesn't work, you will need EDL to recover because you zeroed out fastboot.
* A list of points of attack on EDL authentication. Once you can bypass EDL authentication, it lets you read and write to raw flash. However, a direct attack on EDL authentication is beyond my abilites.
* Enter EDL mode with test point method or by grounding one of the pins next to the SystemOnChip.
Does anybody know how to bypass EDL authentication?
Does anybody know how to enter memory debug mode without root?
The third way would be to decompile the bootloader chain and see how each piece checks bootloader lock status. However, this is the least useful and probably least fun method. Known pieces of the puzzle:
* Description of the Snapdragon 845 boot process (older but more complete overview)
* Unlock status is checked both by the primary bootloader and the Android bootloader. The primary bootloader lives somewhere in memory and will let you into EDL if the bootloader is unlocked and you rebooted with "fastboot oem edl" etc. The Android bootloader image is the abl.elf file in the official update downloads. It will let you flash (or honor "fastboot oem edl") if it is unlocked.
* Memory debug mode is accessed through the XBL bootloader, i.e. the xbl.img and xbl_config.img files in the official update downloads.
If you found this thread trying to unbrick your phone, you need to go here instead.
[ [SOLVED] - - See Post #4
Have Nokia 7.2 (TA-1178 - - December Update Software Build 00WW_1_390)
Confirmed both Bootloader unlocked and USB debugging selected.
Trying to root using Magisk. I have also tried TWRP (Official and Unofficial).
All commands seem to work except
fastboot boot xxxx.img
OR
fastboot flash boot xxxx.img
I always get - - fastboot( FAILED (Write to device failed (No Error)
-- UPDATE --
Getting a bit further.
I did not have latest platform-tools. Most recent Tools still doesn't solve my overall dilemma of rooting.
I have changed the fastboot error message, so guess that is some progress.
Still looking for any suggestions.
I'm pretty sure that the December update patched the ability to unlock the bootloader.

@SenyorMauricio I believe you are correct; however, I unlocked bootloader prior to accepting December update. I do have the update and have confirmed bootloader is still unlocked.
Thanks for the suggestion. That was one of my initial concerns before confirming.

I was finally successful, but pulled info from multiple places.
To help others I will do my best to list my process
If anyone has suggested edits please let me as my goal is to have one location for individuals to find information they need.

Once bootloader was unlocked I rooted my device following Option 1 on the following page.

hello please advice! How do I unlock the bootloader at this point and do root with magisk? please describe step by step instructions or link to instructions. sorry because this thread must be here, but I didn't find anything current. I think it's better to get advice than to do wrong and then look for how to restore your phone from a broken state.

Huawei doesn't unlock bootloader's any more.
You'll have to find a pay service that supports your model.

In order to root device's Android unlocking device's boot-loader isn't a pre-requisite.
Rooting a phone's Android means giving user and/or applications administrative rights, will say unrestricted access to Android's system files.

You should carefully read instead of replying nonsense.
I don't understand English well. I don't understand it now. I think everyone writes something different. i need root via magisk to be able to connect google pay with credit card. so the bootloader only goes through the paid service? and then proceed to root?

You can only unlock bootloader with a paid service.
Once the bootloader is unlocked you can use magisk and patch and then flash a rooted boot.img
Instructions for making the patched boot.img are here > https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

Right after you root Android OS, Google Pay will stop working. How to bypass this in detail is explained here.
Again:
It's a misconception if people like you think the bootloader of a device has to be unlocked in order to root device's Android OS. These people just don't know what role the bootloader has, just don't know what rooting Android OS means.

Simply getting the code isn't enough you have to flash it see below and see the tutorial for dc unlocker here > https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
Using your Unlock Code:
1. Turn off your phone, Boot your device into Fastboot mode with Vol down and power button.
2. CD to where you downloaded ADB/Fastboot Tools
Run these commands when inside ADB tools directory
a) fastboot devices. (your device should bee listed. If not reinstall drivers/reboot)
b) fastboot oem get-bootinfo (just to confirm everything is detected correctly
c) fastboot oem unlock 9x9x2x2x2x8x5x3x
3. Acknowledge the prompt on your phone. Device will be WIPED!
4. Once the wipe finishes it will take several minutes for phone to boot up. Do not panic. Once you See Huawei logo you are OK!

Excellent !!
We need your firmware version to get the correct ramdisk.img
look in settings / about phone for the firmware version or just post a screen shot of that screen
this is your file (I got it from your first post) > PRA-LX1 8.0.0.401 (C432) FullOTA-MF > https://pro-teammt.ru/en/online-fir...mware_model=PRA-LX1+8.0.0.401&firmware_page=0
download the update.zip (I'm downloading it also)
Next download the Huawei update extractor > https://firmwarecare.com/huawei-update-extractor-v0-9-9-5
I posted the guide here for using the extraction tool > https://nerdschalk.com/extract-huawei-firmware-update-app/
and then follow this guide to root the ramdisk.img
Huawei
Huawei devices using Kirin processors have a different partitioning method from most common devices. Magisk is usually installed to the boot partition of the device, however Huawei devices do not have this partition. Depending on what EMUI version your device is running, the instructions will be slightly different.
Obtain Stock Images
Huawei does not release official factory images, however most firmware zips can be downloaded from the Huawei Firmware Database. To extract images from UPDATE.APP in the zip, you have to use Huawei Update Extractor (Windows only!)
EMUI 8
For EMUI 8 devices, your device has a partition named ramdisk, which is where Magisk is going to be installed.
If you plan to use custom recoveries, simply follow the instructions for custom recovery and you’re all set.
If you plan not to use custom recoveries, you will have to extract RAMDISK.img from your firmware. Follow the instructions for boot image patching above, but use the RAMDISK.img file instead of a boot image.
To flash the patched image to your device, here is the fastboot command:
fastboot flash ramdisk /path/to/magisk_patched.img
Be aware you are flashing to ramdisk, not boot!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Boot Image Patching
You would want to choose this method if either your device does not have custom recoveries, your device is A/B and you don’t want to mix recovery and boot images, or your device is using system-as-root without A/B partitions.
To use this method, you are required to obtain a copy of the stock RAMDISK.img, which can be found by extracting OEM provided factory images or extracting from OTA update zips. If you are unable to obtain one yourself, you might be able to find it somewhere on the internet. The following instructions will guide you through the process after you have the copy of boot/recovery image.
Copy the RAMDISK.img to your device
Download and install the latest Magisk Manager
If you are patching a recovery image, manually check “Recovery Mode” in Advanced Settings!
Press Install → Install → Select and Patch a File, and select your stock RAMDISK.img file
Magisk Manager will patch the image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.img
Copy the patched image from your device to your PC. If you can’t find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img
Flash the patched RAMDISK.img to your device and reboot. For most devices, here is the fastboot command:
fastboot flash ramdisk magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img or
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/magisk_patched.img if you are patching a recovery image
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now use fastboot reboot
at this point your phone should be rooted
I uploaded the patched ramdisk.img here if you have trouble > https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682890848
the unpatched RAMDISK.IMG is also their > https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=314978
You also have TWRP 3.11 available for your phone > https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962602140
it's ease to flash TWRP and then root your phone with a Magisk.zip in TWRP
it's also nice if you like to flash roms or make backups of your system and data

There have been multiple reports of people bricking their devices after flashing a GSI with the DSU Loader found in Developer Options. In fact, I was probably the first guy to brick my N200 by installing a DSU to it. After installing a DSU and rebooting, the phone will attempt to boot the GSI and then show a Qualcomm CrashDump screen. After forcing the device to reboot, the phone will show a screen that says "Your device is corrupt" and will no longer boot. Although it is possible to boot into Fastboot mode, the phone will refuse to boot to recovery, and many Fastboot commands do not work since the bootloader is locked. Since there are no MSM tools available yet and the remote service team at OP support doesn't have the ROM files for this phone, your only option at this point would be to request a repair from OnePlus under warranty.
While it may be possible to use the DSU Loader on the N200 without bricking after unlocking the bootloader as shown in this thread, I still would recommend against it until unbrick tools are released.
Yes, if you attempt to use the DSU loader without unlocking the bootloader first, it appears it will fail verified boot since the GSI image is not signed on OnePlus.
Can you still boot into fastboot mode (hold vol down while booting)? You can try switching the active slot to a or b and see if it will boot that way.
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
Also, if you can boot into recovery, try the "Erase everything" option.

You can still boot into fastboot by holding the volume up+down buttons while booting. However the bootloader won't let you switch the active slot if the bootloader is locked.
Even if you select Recovery mode in fastboot mode, the phone will still display the device is corrupt error and refuse to boot into recovery.

While I'm guilty of Bricking my phone by doing exactly what you describe .. there's a little confusion on ... t-mobile locked phones and the ones bought unlocked from 1+ or Amazon....any difference in how to fix those 2.. I'm on a phone bought directly from 1+

Did you by any chance enable OEM unlock in the developer setting before it bricked? If you haven't tried already, what happens when you try to unlock the bootloader in fastboot?

Won't allow it because it's locked .. so you can't unlock the bootloader. Hopefully oneplus will release the rom soon or there's a work around this

No I did not unlock the oem in developer before all this
DSU runs fine once you are bootloader unlocked. I can confirm this myself.
There's a common sense
Flashing anything modified, even from stock, requires unlocked bootloader
BTW, I have mine rooted with patched kernel after bootloader unlocked
I wish I saw this post two weeks ago.

This thread is a whole 1 day old, so don't feel bad about missing it weeks ago.
I believe there's a stock ROM here:
Rooting Stock Firmware W/ Magisk
Once you have your bootloader unlocked (See edale1's post), you can get started! Disclaimer: * I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...)...

But I also believe you need your bootloader to already be unlocked to actually fix it. Not sure though.

Have the unlocked variant? You're screwed. Contact OnePlus for a repair.

If you have a spare phone lying around, try flashing a GSI to see what custom ROM developers are up to these days. Since installing a GSI only requires Even with installing TWRP recovery, it only worked after I had successfully installed magisk on the device by flashing the magisk patched boot.
I just wanted to let you all know. If this happens to you, you CAN use the MSM recovery tool. I found the T-Mobile variants' EDL firmware in the OnePlus community repositories. Let me know if you need them, as I will upload them to a thread with a step by step recovery guide if needed. I had bricked my device by trying the GSI image through DSU Loader, but was successfully able to recover the device with the MSM tool
