Hi all,
As the huawei announced that the bootloader code service will be stopped. Then the users who have code already they also won't be able to unlock bootloader?

Not for all devices but Devices repeased after 24th May 2018 and for previously released devices they will support for 60 days after the announcement date.

what this support is meant here?
and what after 60 days?
suppose i have bootloader code already then either after 60 days i wont be able to unlock bootloader?
becuase as per my understanding the code is directed to the device through ADB. means it doesnt require any info from hauwei.

Actually Huawei will provide the uocking code for comming 60 days for old devices and that will also be stopped after 60 days. It means that after sixty days we will be unable to unlock any of Huawei device through official Huawei website anymore.
That means after sixty days we will unlock it from some other souces like DC Unlockers and Funky Huawei...
I was waiting to unlock my phone and recently I got my unlocking password for my device. :laugh:

Furthermore If you already have your unlocking code you can unlock it any time. It has nothing to do with huawei support.
The code is required only for first time unlocking. So if you have your code enjoy bro..
All this does is guarantee i will never buy another Huawei. Save your unlock code somewhere safe before you can't get it.

Ok, so I'm confused. I just got my Mate 10 Pro yesterday from a provider here in PH, and just a few minutes ago, was able to get the unlock password from Huawei's site. I am confused with the the unlock code application service will be stopped for all products launched after 2018-5-24 and the For products relieased prior to this date, the service will be stopped 60 days after this announcement.
I am almost 100% sure that the Mate 10 Pro I got from our provider here is not a new product (not newer than 2018-5-24) but since today is 2018-6-25 (Philippine Date/Time) it is roughly 30-31 days since the announcement. Does the 60 days after this announcement mean even if I already have the unlock code I will not be able to unlock my phone anymore after next month (60 days = roughly 2 months since the announcement)?

Mate 10/Pro released in November so it's before 2018-05-24.
As it is now you will be able to unlock it after the 60 days have passed, you will not be able to get a new code from Huawei though.
As long as they don't update bootloader in an update you will still be able to use it in the future.

Just wanted to throw this in here since no one else has mentioned it. When requesting the unlock code for your bootloader make sure your S/N is 16 digits not 12. Grab it from the back of the phone on the battery label, not from the system or whatever.
I spent 2 weeks waiting for my unlock code, by sending 1 request/day to mobile [at] huawei.com and had no luck. Then when I resent one yesteday but I sent a 16 digit code for the SN I received an automed response within 3 minutes. With the timezone change between USA and China, no doubt it's automated.

I tried again (14:00 CDT)...on the subject line, I put the s/n, plus bootloader unlock request
In the text, the IMEI and serial.
We'll see, since it's still early in the AM in China.

You were just lucky. There is no chance unlock codes are sent over email automated. Do you really think Huawei employ ocr readers to scan through emails for bootloader unlock requests then these ocr readers magically conjure up your unlock code without any mistakes?
As for the time difference, I'm pretty sure a company the size of Huawei can manage to employ a night shift in their own country of operations.
The only way to get an unlock code automatically is to use one of the unlocker tools that keep floating about and have total luck that the unlock server is in operation when you attempt it.
Getting unlock code via email from Huawei is total luck of the draw. Mine took 1 hour, other people's took a month. Some people have been unlucky and never received one.

No, it's email so everything is already in text form, no need for OCR.
You could do it yourself using outlooks email filter and a batch script for the rest. It's definitely automated.

No. It's not..... But whatever.
Edit : Just to elaborate on this.
1: under your own admission, it took you 2 weeks to work out you weren't even sending Huawei a real serial number.
2: On discovering this mistake, you send the correct serial number and suddenly Huawei's magic automated unlock email system kicks in and grants you an unlock code instantly.
Has to be automated because a company that employs over 140,000 people can't possibly employ people to work a night shift to be able to manually send you an unlock code.
3: The hundreds of people who have been visiting this forum for the last 12 months and trying to get their unlock code via email from Huawei must ALL have been formatting their emails incorrectly. If I remember correctly, 1 other person got their unlock code sent to them within 5 minutes.

I had to send a reminder when no reply after two weeks. No reformatting! Simple forwarded the same email with another line asking for update.. I got it in next few hours. So definitely no automated replies.
Can confirm the process is NOT automated. A real person needs to manually submit the code. Emails sent outside of China's business hours are sometimes not received.

wtf? I sent mine everyday for 2 weeks right as soon as I come home from work, around 4:40. I'm certain because I the phone sat on my desk unused for 2 weeks, and because of the bootloader system wipe, there was no point using it.
Earlier I tried the Root guide on this subforum, which had a chinese tool which supposedly could unlock the bootloader when you provided the info. I then realized I needed a 16 digits S/N instead of the 10 digits one I grabbed from the system about. I then realized maybe, this is why my emails were ignored.
I then decided to send the email but I sent the 16 digits S/N instead of the 10 digit. Something like"000222" at the end. 5 minutes got the code, just like that.
Quite the coincidence, to not get any replies for 2 weeks and then a reply instantly.
1) What kind of email system do they have were there is no queue, and they respond to the newest email? their queue size is 5 minutes in length, and they sold millions of this phone. Granted most never unlocked the bootloader.
2) Is it cheaper to write an automated script to answer an email address and parse for 16 digit S/N and a 15 digit IMEI, which can be checked for validness, and the bootloader code derived from these two and resent all as a script?
Or hire a chinese workers at a computer and reply to bootloader requests?
3) I worked for a company which gave you unlock codes for our software. I can tell you the email address that we provided them next to the order button, was a bot that parse the email for the right values and if it succeeded, an unlock code was sent to the sender.
It's not a coincidence that they didn't send an unlock code for 2 weeks for a request that was impossible to actually provide an unlock code for.
When you finally DID work out what you were doing wrong and sent the correct code, you got a reply. Fortunately for you it happens from time to time that the reply is very quick, but from all of our VAST experience of dealing with Huawei in the last twelve months it's pure luck.
Are you genuinely trying to tell ALL of the hundreds if not thousands of members of this forum, that they ALL sent the incorrect wording for an unlock code in an email, yet you magically managed it?
yes.
Otherwise there's no order to getting these replies for the bootloader. How is it I can get my code within 5 minutes, and other users are waiting weeks?
Do their bootloader requests not come in order? Is the request queue more like a lottery pool?
It's automated.

If it's automated, everybody would get a reply within 5 minutes.
Not one day, 3 days, 2 weeks, one month or indeed never.
Apparently only you do with your incredible email formatting 5k111z.
How can that possibly be automated?
I'm not going to argue anymore with you. If you cannot accept you are wrong then so be it.
I'm pretty sure most people who have been through the hassle of getting the unlock code from Huawei on this forum know who to believe.
I like to believe there is a bloke or two who will occasionally stop what they're doing and check the emails. And that if the info they receive is incorrect and a code doesn't pop up they will just move on.
Well I will say I got my mate 2 delivered at 1:00pm sent my first email to Huawei at 3:20pm and sent another email at 6:14pm and they sent my unlock code at 8:50pm.. eastern time.
Hassle getting an unlock code from Huawei
I used their online form and submitted my IMEI, SN (16 digit), product number, and model, and it would not work. I used their email form, as requested. Here is their response:
Dear User,
Huawei Customer Service is pleased to be at your service, sorry for bringing you the trouble, if you want to unlock your phone, you should meet the condition as follows:
1.Please register your Huawei ID in our official website http://huawei.com/en/ on your phone.
2.Log in your Huawei ID on your phone for 14 consecutive days .
3.Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than twice within half years. If you meet the information, please go to http://emui.huawei.com/en/ and click the 'download' button to login your Huawei ID other than any other third party ID to apply for the unlock code. Please contact us by mail or local service hotline as follows if error message appears.
TEL: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=hotline
Mail: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email
Please submit your mobile model, SN, IMEI/MEID and error message in your e-mail. We also need to know that your phone is rooted, it can be out of the best working state and part of functions may not be able to work normally. In additon, the system is vulnerable to be invaded by viruses once your phone is permitted to unlock. What's more, for the lacking of fully tested, the third party software will not be compatible with your phone. Unlocking will bring unexpected negative impacts and the device will be not normal, and can not be restored, Huawei after-sales service office will not provide warranty service for your rooted phone, and you may bear the cost. So we strongly advise you to think it twice.
If you have any other problem, please send your feedback to us. We will be at your service to help you solve your problems.
Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Best Regards.
Huawei Device Customer Care Team (3207)

I created a new ID and can log in. Am I supposed to log in every day for 14 consecutive days? WTF? I just want my phone bootloader to be unlocked so I can load the Goolge Play Store. Can anyone help?
it's definitely not automated.
i've sent the same email with the 16 digits for a month and finally got a response one of the days using the exact same copy and paste
I've also compared that to my friend's email for unlock code and they were both different format and even had a name.....
Unless you've seen every email for the bootloader unlock code I don't think you should come to conclusions
I can confirm that the email is not automated even with the right formatting but the response time is really good under 10 hours.
This their reply which is unfortunate
Thank you for supporting Huawei products. To achieve better user experience, Huawei has decided to completely terminate the unlock code application service on July 25, and published the relevant announcement on the EMUI official website two months ago.
We apologies for the inconvenience caused. Please stay tuned on our official pages for latest updates.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you better. Please help us by taking a few minutes to tell us about the service that you have received so far. We appreciate your feedback and want to make sure we meet your expectations:
Regards
Hello guys I have had the phone Honor View 10 for over 2 months now and I have not received as little as a security update what can be the reason behind this? I have not rooted or unlocked bootloader
I am a little surprised as I bought one only about a month and a half ago and I have received the latest update which is the b140. It has the security updates upto 5th February.
Where R U stationed?
I'm in Norway but my phone is from germany.
You have a thread about this update. The update should hit our devices until 22. March.

Thanks
Aren't they obligated to send updates every 3 months?

Pay $4 and use dc-unlocker.
It takes 30 seconds (as long as your drivers are fine and you can click in 3 times) and as a bonus, it never goes through Huawei. So technically speaking, your warranty is safe (as long as you block Huawei apps after the unlock.
Hallo,
I asked for the unlocking code via email. on 26.4.2018, directly Huawei support. Then I provided them with all the IDs they asked for and on 3.5.2018 I recieved working oem unlocking key. The rest is well known... Cheers!
Relock = rearmed warranty...?

And if I, for whatever reason, claim the phone in warranty period BUT before the claim, I relock the phone by the code and reset it to factory defaults, THEN the warranty is still relevant and legal, isnt it?

It will say Relocked so they'd know you had it unlocked.
You can install a fw that locks it (This seems to be the case for every Nougat update, but not Oreo).
So, I am lucky staying with Android 7, right? Anyway, I take care od my new toy very well, fitted in a tough rubber case, covered by 3D screen shield. Before this one, I had Huawei P8 Lite, as a corparate phone and it was fine, 3 years no problem with it at all. Then I left the company and decided to do myself a favour with Mate 10 Lite.... Here I go ;o)

Hello everybody
Can anybody tell me which email address i should request for unlock code from huawei?
How to get the HW unlockcode.
The easy way to unlockcode:
Go to the HiCare App and start a live chat.
"Please send the OEM unlock code."
Have the IMEI and serial number ready.
You determine both with the dialer code:
*#*#1357946#*#*
The unlockcode will be sent by email within 7 days.
It only took me a few hours.
I can't get Bootloader Unlock Code
Hey guys and girls.
Does anyone have experience with Funkyhuawei with a phone that Huawei didn't give the bootloader unlock code to?
Preferably a Mate 20 Pro of course.
I'm thinking about giving it a try but I would obviously have no TWRP and no Magisk.

I got my phone from funkyhuawei, 8gb 256 gig model. They say they cant provide the boot loader unlock code as it is locked from Huawei. At this moment in time it is not possible to unlock it.
I used FunkyHuawei for updates for my P20 Pro with a locked bootloader since OTA updates never seemed to arrive and the service works well. Since they only have build 122 currently for the International Mate 20 Pro which I am already on I haven't tried it with the Mate 20 Pro yet.
Bootloader unlocking codes and rebranding aren't going to be offered for this phone and the rooted Mate 20 Pro phones they were selling apparently lose root the first time you update the OS so that was a complete waste of money.
I'm happy with the update part of their service but they don't respond to emails--ever. The best way to get FunkyHuawei updates is via Twitter.
I ordered an accessories bundle from them for the Mate 20 Pro but haven't received anything so far including anything to indicate that my order was ever received, processed or shipped (it's been a week) so the jury is still out on their store. The order was paid for with PayPal so I know they did get my money.
It seems like FunkyHuawei might be a one man operation.
I didn't know that they do sell physical products like a pre rooted device.
However, I did get a very minimalistic reply to my support request.
Since I don't know the service and the price of the root service for one phone is quite high, I don't want to risk spending money for nothing.
I have a Galaxy S10 Model SM-G973U. (Unlocked T-Mobile phone) and purchased from Swappa several months ago. I used it with Cricket service with no issues until a Nov 4 firmware OTA update rendered the phone LOCKED to T-Mobile, not recognizing the SIM. Checking the settings it said it is "ineligible for unlocking").
* I have never had a T-Mobile account, and bought the T-unlocked versions of the Note 4, and Note 8 over the years without issues with an update locking the phone.
* T-Mobile's own bulletin board acknowledges that firmware updates have caused unlocked phones to lock to the carrier. See here: tinyurl.com/yft7haqd and tinyurl.com/yhwzqefr.
* Went to T-Mobile store (2x) as well as raised this with Twitter support @TmobileHelp). Lots of unhelpful advice (wipe the phone, buy a new phone from them, etc.). I was told a week ago that they would email me with instructions on how to unlock it. That email never came.
* I have a paid-for phone, clean IMEI, but they will NOT unlock the phone unless I can produce the original T-Mobile account number from the former owner.
* The Swappa seller said he bought the phone from a wholesaler, so he doesn't know the account number, but is willing to research to try to get it to me. He has heard also of this last update doing this to multiple Samsung models.
* What @TmobileHelp said to me today is in essence, "too bad", since I am not a T-Mobile customer:
"To qualify for an unlock from us is to have prepaid service with us for more than 40 days. From there so long as you refilled more than $100 on that prepaid account and the device is in good standing we will be able to unlock the device."
Qs: Have you heard of issues with this update? Or any firmware update locking an unlocked phone? Any resolution other than buying 40 days of T-Mobile service to get it unlocked? Purchase an unlock code?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hows the sites? Many people says that sites are scam
I got scammed by one of them ( iphoneimei.net ). Supposedly they sell the "waiting place in line", until they can unlock it for free. So basically the scam is that they don't sell unlocks.
Then, when the carrier unlock the phone for real (in my case I unlocked my iPhone6 after one year of being in service, officially), they send you the notification that the phone is unlocked. They don't do anything, just somehow read the database of carrier locked phones.
