@topjohnwu hey there, can I ask if you think rooting the Huawei Mate 20 pro will be done at any point? I'm really hoping so! I've checked your twitter but couldn't seem to find an answer to this. Thanks
Update - I'm sending you a more detailed email, would really appreciate a response whenever you can

For me it is as well very important. Looking forward Huawei Mate 20 rooting. I will buy this phone only if there is root. Otherwise, Samsung Note 9
I've preordered it and it'll arrive this Friday and I'll claim the free watch and wireless charger too. I'm gonna enjoy the device for as long as I can, but in all honesty if I miss root too much then I'll sell it all and switch (from my current pixel 2 xl) to either the 6T or Pixel 3 xl. I'm very curious of the 6T, I know it will have amazing rom development which is a big thing for me normally, but also the camera may not be as good (though the Google cam port may solve that!). And the Pixel 3 xl doesn't seem like much of an upgrade from the 2 XL, so hell I may even end up just getting the 2 XL back again lol
Ahaha seems there's quite a few of us geeks in this predicament!!
Yup. The mate 20 pro is an expensive phone so think it will hold its value for at least a year so plenty of time to sell on.
.... If I even wait that long haha I reckon I'll give it a month or 2 and hopefully we'll here about root, as if not and if I'm not happy enough and other devices sway me ill jump ship lol
I'm the same but I don't like to step backwards so wouldn't go for the pixel 2 XL again. The OnePlus 6t will be decent but the not as good screen and camera always hold me back. And the 3 XL which although is a great phone I hate the notch and 4gb ram and a few other things are disappointing. It will hard be after having the mate 20 pro which has so many things to go back to something with less lol. But yeah emui isnt my favourite but if we can at least root and debloat it I'm happy. Same with my Samsung tablet (not really a Sammy fan) I can at least have root and disable all the bloat
Very good points.
Plus if we can root and possible twrp, then maybe if/when xposed comes to Pie then I'd settle for now custom roms
Yeah exactly. Although I will always flash a rom I'm not as fussed as I use to be, ROMs are great but think stock is very good these days on my most phones . Shame I will never get to see DU PIE on the pixel 2Very good points.

. But at least root is a must, don't use xposed haha. Just order the same film screen protectors as you and a spigen style case from eBay, want to be prepared. The glass protectors might be useless and don't want to be without oneI'll miss some things though, like adding extra buttons to the navbar and extra functionality (I have an additional power button there that turns the screen off with a tap, shows the power menu on long press and double tap takes a screenshot) plus I love having long press back button to kill apps, but perhaps with a gesture app I can replace such thingsYeah exactly.

Yeah I like expanded desktop mode and some of the extra qs tilesI'll miss some things though, like adding extra buttons to the navbar and extra functionality (I have an additional power button there that turns the screen off with a tap, shows the power menu on long press and double tap takes a screenshot) plus I love having long press back button to kill apps, but perhaps with a gesture app I can replace such things
I thought this phone can't rooted due to the locked bootloader and no way to unlock it as Huawei no longer offer that service.
Anyone tried to use google to find the solution???

And, did you follow what your link states and have your M20Pro unrooted successfully ? I doubt it because it links to the Huawei Unlock-request page that no longer exists
Hi all. You could unlock your bootloader at link below for $55. Then, you could root via ADB command. Problem solve. Suppport all latest model. Hope this helpful.
Click here for link.
Click here for link.
If the unlock bootloader option under developer tools is greyed out there is currently no way to unlock the bootloader even if you get a code from funkyhuawei - and they mention this on their page as well. So if you want to loose 55$ feel free and do so.
My bad. Just wanna help out. I didnt know about the greyed unlock bootloader. Just verified it and yea, greyed out. I guess anyone got a huawei phone without greyed one could try out that website.
