Hi Community,
I have the M2 since a few month and I'm still looking for a working root method. So far I've tried Kingroot and the official way via Huawei-Support, but they couldn't give me the code because I cannot find the Product ID of the M2 (Mine is wifi only, no dialer -> no chance to "dial" the code to get the product ID).
I read through the forums here and some chinese forums and it seems like it is possible, to use the TWRP for the X2 for the M2 as well. But of course I need to unlock the bootloader in order to be able to flash that.
Is anyone of you aware of any working root or unlock method for the M2-801W?
Any hint is greatly appriciated. Thanks in Advance!
Tested srsroot as well without success even though it says it is supported. It patches the system and reboots - but su binary isn't there after the reboot.
FRP Protection is disabled in developer options (OEM Flashing -> Enabled), Bootloader says FRP Protection is not active

I found a youtube video with the title HUAWEI MEDIAPAD M2 UNLOCK USING FURIOUSGOLD.
There it is shown that you have to go to the calculator and type in ()()2846579()() and then =. (Tablet must be in landscape mode to get the parenthesis.) This opens the project menu where I found my IMEI, although I do not understand why my WIFI only tablet has one. Anyway, it was the same as the serial number.
For the product ID I tried the same procedure: Calculator -> ()()1357946()() and then =. Shows an 8-digit number.
I then went to the Huwai site for the unlock key. After pressing the submit button, I get 'SN and IMEI are mismatched.' I will contact Huawei about this error.
Does this work for anybody else?

Works for me as well. Got also an error message on the huawei unlock side saying "The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days."
Edit: Furios Gold is a sim unlock tool. We need a bootloader unlock tool!
Thanks
It is actually possible to unlock the bootloader just fine, did it on mine. The option 3 on http://forum.xda-developers.com/med...apad-x2-unlock-bootloader-root-guide-t3212325 ie. using DC-unlock and then "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" using adb works. I have not tried the TWRP meant for X2 on the M2, but as far as I have understood it should work.

Thank you for sharing that information - unfortunately it is not working for me, DC unlocker fails to detect the tablet. I followed the instructions carefully, all drivers are present as described on dc unlocker page. I tried it in a windows VM and on HW, doesn't work for me.. (I tried autodetect huawei phone and Mediapad X2 directly)
Do you have the LTE or the wifi version? Has anyone managed to unlock the wifi only version?

I have the LTE-version, so that's probably why it worked for me.

Is there difference between m8, m10 wifi & lte?
well kingoroot didn't work for me i have the m2 8.0 on lollipop 5.1.1
latest kingroot is not working for me as well.. any other suggestions? thank you in advance.

I have mediapad m2-801L.
I have rooted my phone already by following the guide in mediapad x2.
Well that's good that there is alternative method if kingroot doesn't work.
A. Please go to this link: here
B. I have used DC Unlocker to unlock my bootloader (costs €4) and it can directly unlock the mediapad by using their app. Please click here
C. I flashed the TWRP in the link above using fastboot.
D. I flashed the SuperSU found in the same link above and done! Mediapad M2 is rooted now.
Do you know Iif it's possible to root without unlocking bootloader? do we loose anything if bootloader is unlocking.
I have xperia z5c and I don't want to unlock bootloader because some features will be disabled
Kingroot worked for me (latest version, APK run directly on the tablet)
I have the 802L Wifi only on 5.1.1, Kingroot said that there is no root method available, but I was able to continue and got root.
Previously, i had disabled the FRP Protection (Developer Options -> Enable OEM flashing)
DC Unlocker worked for me as well - the Mediapad 8.0 seems to be supported now in the latest version. You need to set your device to manufacturing mode (open the calculator, turn the tablet around to see it in landscape mode, type ()()2846579()() and =
then, from the background service menu, select USB Options -> Manufacturing mode.
You need to install the driver package from this page: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
After the bootloader was unlocked, I was able to flash TWRP (the chinese version for the X2) and an english language pack (just place the ui.zip in TWRP -> theme folder on the tablet) - SuperSU worked as well, I'm having some trouble with xposed, sometimes it is working, sometimes it's not.

[CLOSED]Force Unlocking Bootloader on Nokia 6.1
Hey, I have been searching for an answer to this for quite a while, and I've found some information. Before you start bashing me in the comments, I do know that Nokia has disabled unlocking bootloaders on certain devices. My question is, is there...
forum.xda-developers.com
In the end I thought it had worked but it didn't - I had to go to
oem bootload unlock https://www.techmesto.com/guide-unlock-bootloader-nokia-android-phones/
Download official Nokia USB Drivers (ADB, Fastboot & others)
HMD Global is making Nokia branded phones for a few years now. However, there is still no official webpage at Nokia.com from where you can download device drivers. On most Nokia phones, the Nokia USB drivers come bundled. A CD ROM will show on the computer when you connect the phone. The Nokia...
www.techmesto.com
So they only give away a few free unlocks per day. If I remember correctly they're based East Coast US time, so I made sure I was online around midnight EST, and got a free unlock. I had to try quite a few times, and it didn't work until a while AFTER midnight, (maybe around 10 to 15 mins after).

Hi,
I too own a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1089) model and have successfully rooted it.
Here are the steps I followed:
Download and install "adb and fastboot" tool on your system
Follow this Boot loader unlock guide by Techmesto and ensure your boot loader gets unlocked properly.
Many guides recommend using TWRP, but I say use "Magisk" (basis my personal experience)
Download the latest version of Magisk from this another guide by Techmesto and follow the steps listed under "Root method #1."
Few Special Pointers:
If in case you're unable to find any relevant "Magisk patched boot images" for your device, you can opt for "Root method #2" listed in the above guide.
I would highly recommend that you "DO NOT USE" TWRP V.3.3.1 as suggested in the guide. I used that version and bricked my device. So, Google for "twrp-3.4.0-0-PL2_sprout-11.0-20200909.img" file and use it as that worked for me.
Ensure that you're BOOTING into TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp.img>
as flashing the TWRP got me stuck on its splash screen for eternity.
The first time you boot into TWRP, it might ask you for a password to decrypt data. Use your phone password" (Example - 0000 in my case) and the decryption will start automatically.
Feel free to reach out in case any pointer confuses you OR you're stuck anywhere.
Cheers,
Manu
Hey,
I have been searching for an answer to this for quite a while, and I've found some information. Before you start bashing me in the comments, I do know that Nokia has disabled unlocking bootloaders on certain devices. My question is, is there 100% no (free) way of unlocking the bootloader on my phone, or just in general to get root. I am running Android 9, and I do have adb (of course).
Thank!
Also interested in this ... Don't want to let someone mess around with my phone .. used to do it myself
Short answer, no. By the looks of it there are currently no free tools, etc.
Long answer, yes but not accessible for us currently. There are ways to gain root access/unlock the bootloader on every device. Currently there are some unpatched exploits (that sometimes cannot even be fixed) in the Linux and Android system that are able to root devices, etc. The last few years showed that Baseband (proprietary Qualcomm code), the RAM (Rowhammer, Rampage) and other device features are attackable. Maybe KingoRoot or someone else might implement these exploits in the following years, and we get a free utility to root devices.

I'm quite new to this rooting stuff, therefore a few stupid questions:
I read that with old security patches, before Aug 2018 (was that still Android Pie?) it was possible to unlock the bootloader. Isn't there some way to downgrade the security patch to a version allowing to unlock?
Is it at all required to unlock the bootloader in order to be able to install LineageOS as provided by this link?
many thanks!
EDIT: Can you recommend any working alternative way to unlock the bootloader?

August 2018 would have been Oreo and YES currently you have to roll back to unlock bootloader. It's a PAID service to have this done. @singhnsk can aid you in doing this service. I as well as many others have used him to unlock our devices. You will have to use Team Viewer and let him remotely do his work.
Good luck!!
And actually, the main question is how to unlock? Bootloaderunlocker.apk dont work, it say me "google service error" help me please

You da Man! I had to try it a few times, but it worked.
Just to clarify point 3.
3. Now turn developer option on again click OK and as soon as you do you will be returned to previous menu. Immediately click "OEM unlocking", it will show a message and ask your password, (if set), and work.

1. if you help me to FORCE UNLOCK device without need Developer Option in setting my problem will solve
2. If you help me to Bypass Android Welcome Wizard, access setting and enable OEM Unlock
3. If you help me to update the device from Android 8 to Android 9 Verizon ROM via ADB Sideload or Update from SD card in Recovery mode
4. If you have any idea to how can I fix it
Extra Information: I bought Belkin and Uni USB-C to Ethernet Adaptor to help me bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, I bought WSKY WIFI Adaptor because device Wifi can't find any network (I found QR setup by tap several times in Language Selection), after this section need to download google device policy apk, my device can't find any Wifi Network and my Ethernet Adaptor can't help me either, So, I just remained with my phone, and I can't do anything,
Please, someone, help me
My Device SKU: XT1789-05
These coolicool phones always come with the wrong firmware install, the simple solution to that is to flash the correct firmware which is plain old RETAIL. Solved. That's for anyone who might have or end up with one of these phones.
As for your phone and since you're in the situation you are I'd flash VZW pie. That isn't the correct firmware for your phone, but you've got a locked BL with VZW on it now and nothing is working. Since your ultimate goal is to flash pie anyways, that's what I'd do. Maybe that will clean up your system enough to enable oem unlock. If you can get your BL unlocked, then you're half way there. Surely by now you've realized that you haven't got many if any options.

Yes, I put my self in prison by locking bootloader, I already downloaded this firmware, but how can I update this firmware via ADB Sideload or Micro SD?
as you know bootloader locked and there isn't a simple way, with locked bootloader I can't flash this file, (Remote Failure) error
thanks a lot

You shouldn't flash firmware from other variants like att, etc. However, if you're able to flash those firmwares and not get any permission denied errors then your bootloader is unlocked, which is good. If you have NOT flashed a pie firmware, good, do NOT do it until everything is up and running and you're sorted. If you have, then you'll need to use pie firmware to fix it since once you flash a pie modem there is no going back to an oreo modem.
Run this command from bootloader/fastboot mode and post back your output.
PHP:
fastboot getvar all
You can omit your imei and your serial no. for privacy.
I'm confused with this conflicting information. The news post says the bootloader unlock is univeral but the guide says that it requires Android 10 (which I cant get to due to ATT stupid update system).
If I follow the unlock bootloader guide on Android 9 will it bootloop my device?

It does not require a10. It seems that when the person that wrote that guide had only tried it with a10, and thus, erring on the safe side, didn't want to say it worked with other versions not having tested it.
