Folks, I just happen to notice this thread in Mate 20 pro forum. Hopefully it works...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/help/bootloader-unlocking-method-t3914398

Update: Apparently doesn't work...
Update to update: Codes now available through a variety of vendors. See below...
Update to update to update: Unfortunately unavailable again...
Update once again. Seems to be available but pricey! (6/11/19)
Doesn't look good for now. Here today, gone tomorrow. Maybe back later! Good luck! (7/16/19)

I can't believe I'm paying this much for unlock code.
36USD for me.. I did it, I hope this gets justified immediately with all the advantages of having a rooted device

IT'S WORKING: (Mate 20X China Model)
I'll just go to the Russian website and i'll toke 5-6 minutes to obtain my unlock code with the chat...
The price 30 dollars US. :good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Hi. Did you try the code? Did it work? Do you use a chat box in english? How did you pay?

EDIT: Ok. I did it. The sight is in Russian but he is fine talking in English. You pay him using PayPal. Then you give him imei in chat box. Took about 5 to 10 min and he then gave unlock code in chat box. Took a screenshot so I do not make mistake. I hope to try this weekend. If anyone has success (or does not) unlocking please say so!

At first I was very hesitant, but after the price-drop down to 20 USD(18 euros) I decided to bite the bullet.
The guy was really responsive and the process took about 10 minutes; I decided to pay through paypal.

My wife will be away for the weekend so I'm going to root the hell out out my Mate 20x.:D
I guess the only thing left to do now is to actually try the code.

I'll keep you guys posted.

I just ordered from the Russian site, code came in 5min. I was so excited I didn't scroll down far enough to see that funky Huawei was offering then too, could have saved $2. I'll try it tonight and report back

I paid $14.89 USD through Ministry of Solutions and got my code in less than 10 min.
