So all three players that used to provide bootloader unlock codes are providing them again after having no availability for months.

FunkyHuawei (price: $124 ) https://funkyhuawei.club/bootloader
Ministry of Solutions (price: $45) https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-service-all-new-models-new-firmwares
Global Unlocking Solutions (price: $45-50) https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below

Get them while you can, seems as though availability may drop off at any point.

Talking to ministry of solutions now. I was under the understanding that the P20 pro (CLT L04) wasn't easy to do or just not doable. He and global unlocking solutions say they can though.

I'm in the exact same boat. Also with a P20 Pro. Waiting to hear back now.

Any updates I get I'll post here.

Seems like Ministry of Solutions is only accepting "family and friends" payment through paypal. This is a well known tactic for scammers as buyers are unable to reverse the transaction.

Anyone have any past experience with this person?

It seems that these places have some contacts who either work for/contract for or something similar for Huawei, at minimum have access to the algorithm that provides the codes.

The fact that they all seem to come online/available at the same time then go offline/unavailable at the same time indicates that either a previous or new contact is willing to provide codes for money for some period of time.

We can be pretty certain they haven't cracked the algorithm as otherwise why would they ever go offline and why do they all come available at the same time with uncertainty about how long it's available for. We can only assume the contact is willing to sell codes again but eventually gets cold feet or caught leading to uncertainty of how long they will be available for.

Perfect logic. Agreed.

Huawei really needs to pull their finger out.

Perhaps whilst companies are offering the codes it was make logical sense to now ask Huawei if or when they may provide them again? Seeing as there is obvious demand for them.

Or perhaps Huawei are fully aware and is doing this as a test to see if it's a viable demand from their users.

So they allow 1000 unlocks and then they time it, to see how quickly they get consumed. That way they can project if it's something they should return to.

Tbh though those numbers can tell a very different tale Vs reality, kind of like failure rates with software roll outs in companies / firms, they base roll backs based on failure percentages and those thresholds are rarely hit but the problems are obvious and usually widespread. I think it's going to be similar with Huawei and their bootloader policy.

Can't see them going back, hopefully I'm wrong, seem to remember HTC doing the same thing when they blocked the One X. Great phone flawed with bootloader unlocks, eventually they reversed their decision and it hit them hard.

Some places around me (Ontario Canada) will still give you about 375$ if they are in mint condition. But that will change soon....unless things change. Although Google has stepped up and said that Huawei would cause a bigger security risk by using their own OS, so who knows. A man can hope lol .
