Unlock / Root after Huawei's web page closed

[pete80pro]

Hey guys,

I only have one easy question:

I got the old phone from wife(pra-lx1), 8.0.0 installed.

Is there any working possibility to unlock/Root the phone anymore since Huawei dropped it's webpage for this?

Any working tutorial which is useful? I've have never seen anything working so maybe anyone has an idea how to unlock it.

Thanks in advance!

You can try "DC Unlocker -> Bootloader unlock for Huawei devices " from the playstore.. It costs between 1€ and 16€ per unlock .. unfortunately I havent tried their method .. since the IMEI way they once offered is gone (probably due to huawei disabling the service) .. so you can only try to read the code from your phone's bootloader which may or may not work ... they offer a refund if it doesnt work

Yea, already read about it in a german forum, when they announced it in may '18 ... a sad thing they say "improving customer service" when in truth they reduce the service .,.

True thing though that many people bricked their Huawei P / Honor device but only because Huawei blocked all easy ways .. I still remember how easy it was on my good'ol' Galaxy Nexus (3) .. and at that time it was still considered obligatory to offer easy ways because rooting and modding was "fair use" .. Heck they even successfully sued the first manufacturers that tried to block rooting because of this "fair use" practise .. what happened to the world

I will try DC Unlocker once. If it failed I will retry unlock over customer service...

Hi,
So ? DC-unlocker is approved ? 4€ for unlock code seems to be honest for a free data...
Is it how many you paid ?

No, I didnt pay (yet) - because nobody could show a way to root my PRA-LX1 running EMUI 8.0.0..374 without bricking it.
Doesnt make sense to pay unless I can reliably continue unlocking

Oh ok...
So we just have to sell our P8Lite... and cry.

Hi there,

I wanted to know if it's possible to root my P8 lite 2017 with only the magisk manager APK without having an unlocked device ? (And following the magisk fix to not bricking it)

Thanks

DC Unlocker fails so there is no way to unlock it for now. Only way is to Sell it or use Stock.

And how about just getting root ? Is it possible without unlock ?

Did you unlock it with EMUI 8.0 installed?

 

[carobeppe]

Yes, I had Android 8.0 and Emui 8.0. I wanted to install a custom rom but I had a lot of problem, I installed TWRP but had a lot of Error 7; I nearly bricked the device but it has started eRecovery by itself and repaired - but this is another story...

I see. Thank you for the reply. I'll give it a try with my phone.

Edit: It worked great. Thanks!

I can confirm that this method is working fine. Bootloader is being read with DC Unlocker, now I installed los15.1. Works great.

Hope haky86 gets issues on his device fixed soon.

If anyone facing mobile issues with unlocking bootloader, dont hesitate and contact me.
