How to unlock the Mate 20 Pro bootloader (international versions LYA-L29 and LYA-L09)

[jc8bit]

HiSuite doesn't play well with some computer set-ups. I can't identify exactly which software is interfering, but there's some issue that makes in crash on some computers, and it doesn't on others.
Usually if you keep trying it will eventually go through, as long as there are no issues with your FunkyHuawei account, etc.

I've tested on two computers, un the first one the problem was the antivirus and a very high disk usage. HiSuite crash

The second one have SSD disk and the AV were disabled... HiSuite do the job with no problems..

Check resource monitor and see by yourself the issue. FW returned the wasted credit on the first attemp.

By the way, Merry XMas.

This is a very amusing development. People are going to voluntarily become hostages to international terrorists. They will pay money for the chance to install code onto their phones that almost certainly contains the means to cause a recursive loop of bricking and blackmail. Is there even a way to revert to absolute factory stock? I doubt it. And yet, we will line up like sheep to the slaughter, clinging to the impossible notion that a developer is going to release a branch of Magisk for the 26 people that have sold their children's corneas for a chance to cheat at Pokemon.

I have no moral qualms about this, in fact I think it is the most hilarious and ironic twist yet. We own phones that are being banned across the world for the potential to spy, and the first thing we do is beg Chinese operatives to give us even more suspicious code to install. You couldn't make this stuff up.

The first Magisk module will be a Tor based uploading service where we can send Hivision-scanned industrial espionage data directly to Xi in exchange for FunkyHuawei shrute buck credits.

Hahaha :laugh: a typical and paranoid Trump's lover "gringo"

Now that Magisk supports EMUI 9, has anyone tried rooting?

I can try , but I need the steps to install a recovery to flash the root files
Any tips or ideas ?

You don't flash recovery, you flash the rooted partition directly. I think there were some instructions on the Magisk page noting the method.

This ?

Via Magisk Manager:

This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery.
However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and you also have to be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN
Install the latest Magisk Manager
If you're planning to flash the patched boot image through ODIN, go to Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format, and select .img.tar. For normal users leave it as the default .img
Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file
Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/Download/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Copy the patched boot image to your PC. If you can't find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Here is the command if using fastboot:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img

Exactly.

 

[pvillasuso]

Exactly.

but ...
There is always the need for a twrp , to extract the stock boot image dump ?

 

[loizos250]

so... custom roms are coming :good::good::good:

Anyone who can provide me with their IMEI in a private message I think I can get a copy of the download files from the FunkyHuawei method. If you need any extra proof as to what I am currently doing I will provide over private message.

 

[sille]

Exactly.

Can u provide the recovery ramdisk of your 171 firmware

Probably best to go into a shop and photo the IMEI of one of the phones on display in the shop (*#06#) Unless anyone else can help out with a photo they have already taken?

Install the specific version of HiSuite via the download link then close HiSuite. Also make sure it still isn't running in your system tray. Then run the separate computer prep program in administrator mode-otherwise it won't be able to modify the necessary files. Then open HiSuite and it should work.

Now wait for unlock code and then time for some development.

Are you able to use Google pay still?

No. Unfortunately I just found that ?
Magisk should help hopefully

If i root than return it to factory condition unrooted will Huawei trigger something to say it's been rooted before like Knox on Samsung?

Seems like it yes. I checked and I still get a Google Pay error saying that my phone is rooted or modified. I am wondering what an OTA will do
