This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread.
FunkyHuawei is a (mostly) paid service which allows you to do the following:
1. Install the latest system software, even before it's released by OTA.
2. Install beta/prerelease system software, without needing to be a beta tester.
3. Recover a bricked phone.
4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)
5. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
Except for rooting, all of these features are supported even if you cannot unlock your phone's bootloader.
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service as well as our rebranding tool within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/exclu...-pro-firmware/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Honor V10 Information:
Rebranding (7 credits): You can rebrand the Honor V10 to and from the Chinese, Asian, and European versions.
We have released a special rebranding tool just for the Honor V10. You can find the link from the rebranding section of our website, or on our reddit. This new procedure avoids any issues with the device, and everything works after testing. We have tested rebranding Chinese to Asia and Europe brandings. Please use this FHRebrandToolBKLEdition, not FHRebrandTool, as this device has some differences from other devices we needed to address.
To rebrand to Chinese:
Use FHRebrandToolBKLEdition and choose BKL-AL20 for the model, and all/cn for the branding. Then use eRecovery method to install firmware from BKL-AL00 or BKL-AL20 section of our site, twice.
To change the phone to European, choose BKL-L09 and hw/eu branding in the tool. Then use eRecovery method to install the latest firmware from the BKL-L09C432 section of our site, twice.
To change the phone to Asia, choose BKL-L09 and hw/spcseas branding in the tool. Then use eRecovery method to install the latest firmware from the BKL-L09C636 section of our site, twice.
In most cases, you'll need to install the new firmware in eRecovery twice.
Unbricking (7 Credits): Contact FunkyHuawei support for help unbricking. You can use FHUnbrickFlashTool (google for FunkyHuawei Unbrick Flash Tool and check the page on our reddit.) You may also be able to use the eRecovery method if you can get into eRecovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!
Will the Honor View 10 like the Mate 10 pro show "relocked" if the bootloader was once unlocked before?

If you use FHRebrandTool it will never show relocked, but only locked.

Dear Team,
had used your tool for Root and unlocking my bootloader in Honor View 10, now i wish to unroot and lock the bootloader as rooting made many features blocked.
kindly help how to do this.
I'm trying to root my bkl-L09 but when I downloaded the program I don't see an option to root just to backup my phone.

Hi @duraaraa,
I'm on Huawei Honor V10 BKL-AL20 8.0.0.132(C00). A bit confused. Will this "Mate10" Root/Rebrand tool and Rebrand (without unlocking bl) tool also work with Honor V10? What re-brand/firmware do you recommend for my phone if I mostly reside in Asia?

No. You need to use FHRebrandTool to rebrand the Honor V10.
Please google for honor v10 rebranding guide and check the result from the FunkyHuawei reddit for instructions.
The only version you can rebrand to right now is the European one, so that's what I'd suggest.

I checked the PM, and you didn't ask for a free credit, or tell me the FH account you use. You just asked a generic support question, so it was not clear what you were asking for.
Let me know your email address from your funkyhuawei account by PM, and I can give you the credit, since you are a recognized contributor. However if you are on Andorid O with an Honor 9 as your message says, we'd need to have an Android O build for your phone/branding for it to work for you. Maybe you can let me know what branding your phone is (fastboot getvar vendorcountry)
Still looking for an answer on how to root my bkl-l09. I only see options to back up things when I download the tool

And i read, that some features doenst work after the V10 was root. Information about root V10 very poor.

Absolutely I don't want to rebrand my view 10, so what is this method? With the mentioned tool there are no way to root. I think that this thread is only a spam to make advertising and to get money.
There is a way to root Honor V10. From another thread, I read unlocking bootloader then flashing a modified boot img can do the trick. But when I read the Mate 10 thread about rooting, they've lost Theme customization, Android pay (deal breaker) and front camera bokeh effect (another deal breaker for selfie addicts? ). I wonder if Honor V10 has the same restrictions when rooted. Oh by the way, freezing/uninstalling some pre-installed apps when rooted can easily brick the phone. So I advise everyone not to freeze apps. That's why FH strongly discourages doing it. Other than that, we're good... ? ?
OP i tried to update my firmware from B120 to B130, i tried twice and it failed. Reason update pakaged could not be verified. My 2 creddits down the drain.
Is there something am not doing right?

Quick info for 1st timers
Before rooting, you need to unlock bootloader for any Huawei / Honor devices.
Once you got the code Download\Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Now connect your Huawei device to the PC with a USB cable. (Give it required permission)
Boot your Huawei device into bootloader mode using the following command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once your device is in bootloader mode, issue the following command to unlock bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock your-unlock-password
Use the Vollume Up/Down key to select yes and power key to confirm - bootloader is unlocked now and phone will reset.
TOOLS

AGS-L09 - Huawei MediaPad T3 10
Returned the HUAWEI MediaPad 8" T3 4G (Model KOB-L09, Android 7/) tablet now but gone crazy and bought a Brand New T3 10" from ebay (AGS-L09, Firmware AGS-L09C127B031 CUSTC127D002). This is on Vodafone UK Network but same issues as EE - no dialer. srsroot says it can be rooted but bit risky as I have never used that tool before, especially when I am unable to find any non Chinese FULL firmware yet. Any one tried this tool before?
I have a feeling that all the UK network remove the dialer (most likely using the same firmware) - wondering which firmware (English) supports phone calls (review on notebookcheck.net says its actually quite good). I guess oeminfo is needed to flash a different regional firmware?
Man I'm in the same boat as you're I need to root my Huawei AGS-L09 but no avail hope some day we can find a way to do it with the help of the xda genius members!
By the way I can make phone calls on mine
Thanks Mercer99, as per other thread, appreciate it (for your device security, can you remove the image as this has your IMEI)- we have the same model, but different firmware.
AGS-L09C199B002 is “Saudi Arabia Oman Kenya Cameroon Jordan Qatar Ghana Android 7.0 EMUI 5.1” region.
AGS-L09C127B031 is “Greece Hungary United Kingdom Nonspecific Android 7.0_EMUI” . The dialer/calling function is disabled on this firmware - confirmed on Vodafone and EE network.
Is there any way you can extract the OEMINFO from your device and share it with us. This should enable me to debrand the phone if I can find your firmware (downloaded EUROPEAN version with Firmware finder already – so really need an European OEMINFO).
My phone is still locked to Vodafone so I am not sure whether I can flash the firmware or even need root to flash a different OEMINFO (bootloader is unlocked already).
Rooted
Took a risk and its rooted now - Magisk v14.0 installed fine and seems to be working (need to test further). Also, Vodafone unlocked the device now for me
Challenge now is to debrand so as to enable functions which has been disabled by Vodafone (namely calling).
Would appreciate if anyone can help - need OEMINFO from another region so as to change the firmware, especially European one or even other UK network who does not disable calling.
Could not contain myself…. In my quest to debrand so I can have a dialer/phone calling function, downloaded a firmware (either from FF Team or on the internet), tried flashing system.img file to see if it installs the dialer as it would not install extracted ones and it did not work. So tested with the boot.img and it did work but phone kept rebooting to eRecovery.
Restoring from TWRP (incomplete/untested) backup did not work. Can’t install any other regional firmware because of OEMINFO. eRecovery can’t find any firmware. The only thing – TWRP/Stock Recovery, eRecovery or bootloader!
Chatted with Huawei support and they won’t give me a link to download the firmware – want me to send for repair, which I don’t really want to – too much hassle and they may end up blaming me anyway….lol He agreed to upload one to their website if he can find one.
I would appreciate if anyone can give me an OEMINFO or link to EUROPEAN firmware with a dialer….. I think European one is AGS-L09C127B031CUSTC127D002 – would appreciate if anyone can share the file with me.
Managed to source the Vodafone UK now firmware now - thanks to combinefile.com
The only think remaining is to enable the enable the dialer now – can someone help? Either a guide to enable within Vodafone firmware or share an OEMINFO and detail of a UK/European firmware that has a dialer enabled (i.e. can make calls) would be much appreciated.

I am not sure if anyone has tried but check the 4pda.ru forum (I have been using google translation) lol
It should work with a locked bootloader.
TWRP - I have updated the link now to 4pda.ru forum. I have used that to root my model. I don't think restore (and backups) works. Of course, you need blootloader to be unlocked first.
Does your AGS-L09C100B011CUSTC100D002 have a dialer and can you make calls? I need the firmware and may be OEMINFO /Cust - not exactly sure how it works on a tablet. But it certainly needs something else to be changed.

KOB-L09 TWRP Here - I should be getting a new KOB-L09 to play end of this week,
In case this info is useful to anyone, I just got one of these from O2 and the dialler is preinstalled on the device. I've not tried using a regular SIM to make calls from it but the feature doesn't seem to be blocked. I can open the dialler and see the keypad etc.
Not a bad little tablet this, it needs an update to the latest security patches as it's still on July and the default launcher is crap (easy to install Nova of course) but otherwise very good for the price having Android 7.0, a Snapdragon, and LTE for £100. Stuck a MicroSD in there and filled it with movies to watch on the go.
Hexgor, can you confirm the firmware version and are you able to upload the dialer apk files for us, may be it just needs to be installed....thanks
Thanks
Thanks, now my KOB L09 is rooted with Magisk in Twrp..

Hi everyone:
Here is my situation.
I have a mate 10 6+128G. Device information:
Version: EMUI: 8.0.8
Firmware: ALP-AL00 8.8.8.129 (SP2C00)
Bootloader was unlock, I also root my phone, install TWRP, Magisk ... I also install Google Play, Google Service ..
Everything seems fine until I try to use Google Pay.
I got stuck when trying to register VISA credit card in Google Pay, MasterCard is fine.
I did a lot of search on China Huawei forums, and found China version of firmware got issues when register VISA credit card.
I have consulted my friends who have Mate 10, and they said they don't have such problem.
In my country, Mate 10 firmware version is ALP-L29C636, so I would like to rebrand my Mate 10 to this firmware.
But I still have some doubts regarding rebrand.
1. OEMINFO:
Should I replace my OEMINFO before rebranding ? From some post, seems it's necessary to replace OEMINFO with L29C636 version.
If I replace OEMINFO, will I lost my IMEI ?
2. After rebranding, Bootloader will be locked again. So I should use the same unlock code to unlock my Bootloader ?
3. After rebranding, I still want to root my phone. Can I follow the same method to root my phone after flashing new version of firmware ?
Thanks.

Talk to this guy: https://ministryofsolutions.com/
Its better and safer to spend some small $ and allow someone who is familiar with rebranding to do the job instead of risking and ends up in a brick. He did a rebrand on my Mate 10 from ALP-L09(C109) to ALP-L09(C432) and I can say it it's not so easy (in my opinion) so my recommendation is to contact him.
I see Huawei isn't providing unlock codes anymore, so I've been researching options before purchasing this phone. Having a rooted, unlocked phone with TWRP is rather important, imho.
It looks like this person successfully used DC Unlocker for ~$4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78665569&postcount=392
However, other people say "Funky Huawei" is the only working one, which is much more expensive: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78627440&postcount=6
I then see this post about firmware versions needed for DC unlocker to work, but for the Mate 10 "Pro" -- unsure if that also applies to the Mate 10: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/finally-unlock-bootloader-mate-10-pro-t3850111
Buying from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Huawei-Mat...vHzekWP7zx0GEhBHmmrA:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true
... I'm unsure what firmware I'd get & I don't know how much that would matter. I'm hoping someone could help clarify: does DC Unlocker currently work on this phone, and how much trouble is it...?
Thank you!

BLA is the pro....
HUC is the one recommend in the guide u mentioned... Just a DC Unlock alternative from same developers...!
For what I read... It is about the firmware youare on... Mine is old... I think if ur security level is beyond June 2018...u can be less fortunate with the HUC... But it is just 4 EUR.... If u really want to unlock.... Try it....
Only way right now is:
HCU by dc-unlocker. This will not work on firmware after June 2018 (check security patch).
Ministry of solution, this service might come back, it's currently down and cost $30....
FunkyHuawei, expensive as hell.
You can also void your warranty by opening your device up and flash board software with testpoint. This would allow you to use HCU while on board software. This is not recommended at all if you don't know what you're doing.
Edit: Hopefully your firmware is not updated. DO not update when you get it.

It's using old bootloader so chances are high, at least
You usually get a refund from DC anyway.
I just hope it doesn't complain about Security Patch date without even trying.

This guy:
https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-html
... said only 8.1.0.110C567 & 8.1.0.111(C567) is "supported" for his method, and not mine (8.1.0.120(C567))
After giving my information to global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com, they said "Yes, order and wait for updates to finish", which I presume is related to their "WE ARE TESTING THE HUAWEI BOOTLOADER CODES NOW: AFTER TEST RESULTS ORDERS WILL BE PROCEED" message on their website:
https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
I also presume this is the same thing that has FunkyHuawei (still) down.
I did try doing the "read bootloader code" from DC unlocker (without buying any credits yet), just to see what would happen, and got this message:
Reading bootloader code...
unknown error (375)
I assume if it was due to not having an account, it would say invalid username or not enough credits.... so I'm worried this means DC Unlocker won't work.
So, I'm kinda stuck, I guess? I don't want to use the phone, since I will have to either reset it when getting a bootloader unlocked, or "give up" on getting a bootloader code and update to EMUI 9.
Hoping for any advice...
I had 8.0.0.129 on my usa mate 10 pro with December security patch purchased 4 credits from DC logged in and was able to get my bl unlock code.
DC Unlocker support came back saying "your error means that current version of android in your device has new security patch and is not supported yet."
So, looks like I'm already past the point of no return (aka no "easy" bootloader unlock code). My best chance at getting a bootloader unlock code is via IMEI methods like FunkyHuawei if they return, which firmware & security patch version don't seem to matter. My phone apparently is covered under a warranty, which I don't want to invalidate (which unlocking your bootloader does). So, even if I got an unlock code, I'd likely not use it for awhile. Considering all of that, and the desire to start using my phone... I upgraded the firmware planning to get EMUI 9 Pie (which I'm clearly not going to get via custom ROMs anytime soon). If FunkyHuawei or the cheaper "global unlock" options return, I'll consider trying them out... :-/

I have unlocked bl once before in may 18bi believe and relocked it back when i took ota and not sure if it had anything to do with it.

You had 8.0.0.129, while I had 8.1.0.120. There are more numbers than just the last 3.
I tried DC Unlocker, and it gave me an error that everyone on the forum said means your Android version is unsupported. DC Unlocker's support said the same thing.
I'm glad you got yourself a bootloader unlock code. I wish I could have... maybe if the IMEI method opens up again (which I doubt), I'll get one someday...

You don't have the usa variant I believe as .129 was the latest update.

I realized yesterday, for some reason, I'm in the Mate 10 forum when I have a Honor View 10. That is why our firmware numbers don't seem to make sense

Only way right now is:
HCU by dc-unlocker. This will not work on firmware after June 2018 (check security patch).
Ministry of solution, this service might come back, it's currently down and cost $30....
FunkyHuawei, expensive as hell.

Hi @ante0 / all
I note from https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-html that they want $4 (not $30)
BUT
They are also stating that "Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20 Lite, Huawei P Smart (These models only supported if have older firmware version)"
I am stuck with two new-ish Mate 10 Pro phones that fail with DC tools. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=78901016#post78901016
I'm guessing my phone has new-er firmware and that's why DC tools failing
Any suggestions?

That's only for old phones/old firmware. New unlock was here: https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-service-all-new-models-new-firmwares
But it's closed. It seems to be closed for everyone now so no go.
DC will only work on phones with firmware on May 2018 or earlier (In most cases. Some custs do work on June/July but that only seem to be the case with carrier custs)
So you're out of luck...
Good morning, I had yesterday in front of the boot loader of my Huawaii Mate 10 lite to unlock it to root it, but the keys are no longer distributed. Now I wonder if there is a way to unlock the bootloader in a different way and wisely and root the phone. Does anyone have an idea how I could still do it? I would be pleased to receive an answer. Greetings Blitzmax

Hi, it's possible using paid services , e.g. "hcu-client" (4euros) . A8 Oreo is't supported, if you are running Oreo , you must downgrade to A7 Nougat via HiSuite.
If the roll back option is not available with your HiSuite ("switch to the older version", it may hapen), you must downgrade to the lower Oreo build version number doing the dload method (flashing Service ROM for your model and REGION (Cxxx)! This process will erase all your data!
Service ROM can be found here: https://androidhost.ru/search.html
. Type RNE- or Rhone- . Before you do anything, read carefully Software Upgrade Guidline in "ReleaseDoc" .
Any tutorials out there or here that instructs on unlocking the bootloader for this phone? Again, I am looking for the international version's tut, not the CN version.
the same realme deep testing app does work for realme gt international version bro. Just download it and accept, then it will reboot to fastboot just do fastboot oem unlock its done,

I might have misread the comments, but why in here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-realme-gt-gt-neo-easily-tested-on-chinese-variant.4290569/, they say only tested in CN version? I don't want to risk buying a phone only to find out it is non-rootable, or testing something not officially being mentioned in https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1248075024070344704 that might hard brick my device. Also, I read that keeping the bootloader unlocked will disallow fingerprint scanning from working, as I was intended to keep my bootloader unlocked forever, because I don't to contact Realme servers everytime I want to confirm my submission in the Deep Testing app (I don't want to rely on having Realme support my device in their servers, as one day they might pull the plug out, and I can no longer get Realme to verify my device using this app).
I contacted the Realme EU support and they said that Realme has no plans on providing unlock codes for EU models. They apparently only offered this for a few models on Indian market, so I'm not sure if it applies internationally, although imo, it sounds like it. What a shame.

What a shame. Such a good cheap phone is out of my options now . I guess I have to bite it and buy OnePlus 9 now (OnePlus no longer a flagship killer ).

I think the same thing happens with the Realme 7 pro. You had to change the dialer to change to India. So if I could unlock it .. It would be nice if it could be done with the European realme gt

So, can you change the dialer with the EU version and the deep test app would work too?

I think that if the method that was used in the realme 7 pro could be applied. I have tried it but have not been successful. You would have to know the engineer codes to change region. I guess they must be different on each terminal.
Here you have the manual that I use in the relame 7 pro.
https://telegra.ph/Desbloversa-Bootloader-Realme-7-Pro-02-12
If someone could find how to change the region in the realme GT from engineer mode, I think it would be the solution to be able to unlock.
Here are some codes that I found in case they could be usable

On the realme 7 pro it works. It would be a matter of being able to test it in our realme. I can not find any engineer code that allows us

Buy a Oneplus 9R. It goes perfect with the qualcomm 870. I already have it unlocked and it has the recovery options that I want in case of disaster. It is a very good smart

I wondered if it was a problem with the Google dialer not accepting the codes. Did you try a different dialer esp the realme or oppo dialer?
People also say the fact that it's coming to India should be good news for bootloader unlocking.

Have you tried using a VPN to route traffic through India, and unlocking the phone?
Can someone send me a build.prop file from the system partition?

I don't have the phone yet lol. I'm not gonna risk buying a phone, only to find out it's hopeless to root it.
Not tested:

Has anybody been able to unlock the bootloader on the global variant? I have to pick between the Realme GT and the Poco F3 and would prefer the first because of the headphone jack, but if it's not possible to unlock the bootloader the phone would be almost useless to me.
What about previous Realme phones, is it possible to unlock the bootloader for all of them or are there some models where this is not possible? If the company has a good track record then we could assume that some day it will be possible to unlock the bootloader of the GT too.
I keep reading about some deep testing app or in-depth test app needed to unlock the bootloader, does anybody know where it comes from and who the developer is? All I could find was downloads on random websites and the whole thing seems sketchy.
Not buying this phone given the sad state of unlocking and sources.
I'm just here to check how this phone is doing in development and seems like it's doing terrible.
