Hello I just got the Mate SE and I am trying to figure out how to get my bootloader unlock code but https://www.emui.com/en/plugin/unlock/index doesn't seem to be up??
Also when I try making my Huawei account United States isn't listed as a country and thus do not get my verification text message when registering.
I see the same thing. Judging by this picture (source), it seems like they've actually removed the unlock option from their website. Have they changed their policy on unlocking?

Found this screenshot of what is supposed to be chat with an honor rep. In a telegram device group.
I hope it is a fake. If it is real then , I see absolutely no reason to even buy from hauwei or honor again
I messaged them on facebook and they said to do this, but I log in at this page and it just kicks me back to the main menu.
Hi monorail0, thanks for getting in touch.
Please try reaching out to the following site, click "Unlock Bootloader" and log in with your Huawei ID,https://hwid5.vmall.com/CAS/portal/...ndex&loginChannel=22000000&reqClientType=2023. Hope it helps. Thanks!

I just sent them an email myself. Did you call them yet?
I decided it's not worth pursuing since this phone isn't worth keeping. The screen is nice but everything else is incomprehensibly bad. If they charged $50-75 more and made the speaker, haptics, and camera less godawful it would be the perfect device. For me the dream of a good <$300 phone is dead, time to get a pixel 2 and move on with my life.
Edit: I followed Sandman-007's unlock guide. After installing AOSP, the phone exceeds expectations. The camera has even miraculously fixed itself. Woo!
I received an email saying another ota was being sent out with some new features, bug fixes, and something about it being easier to unlock

Here it's the email.
Hello Everyone,
We are sending out another OTA with several bug fixes and some very nice features. We can't say what the features are. But, it will be much faster to unlock...

Could you provide a screen shot? No offense but I'm skeptical.

I just got this email from Support. I'm trying to figure out if I want to send it back. I want custom ROMs. But at the same time I really like this phone.
I wonder if I used a VPN and spoof IP for China if I could access the bootloader unlock page?
So I tried it. Spoofed my IP to China. I Google searched https://www.emui.com/cn/plugin/unlock/index
It comes up in Google search and it's clear its for China. When I try to load the page I don't get a 404 like the U.S page but it's just a white blank page. Gonna keep trying
Here is the email I received a few days ago.

i called the Huawei support Hotline and the man i spoke with said he wouldn't be able to give me the unlock code for security purposes. other people have had better luck check out this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/emui-unlock-site-page-t3779658/page2
Hello Guys!
I figured out how to unlock my Mate SE without the need of contacting support or their Unlock page that no longer exists!
See my guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
Any one with a Verizon variant of the 3XL able to pull and post the most recent APK for the Call Filter app?
I have Verizon service but I am unable to download it from Google play. Interested to see if it will work on the Playstore phone.
9.4.0 2019-02-15 [email protected]_4_0-r8372 is the most recent release per the playstore dated 3/26/19
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vzw.ecid&hl=en_US
here is a link // was older version 9.3.1 sorry it says not compatible for me with pixel 3xl in the market link you posted. and i have older version installed. i am on Q might be the reason
I am curious to see if the latest version will work on my Pixel 3 XL.
I wonder why the play store says that it is incompatible with our device.

I'm assuming something in the build.prop is different between the Verizon variants or the google variants. If not, it might be that Google only let's you update if the app is a vendor installed app.
APK
This was extracted from a VZW LG G5 and should be up to date. Seems to work fine on my Essential PH-1 so far. Happy blocking...
I installed the Apk listed above.
Why is the app asking if I want to subscribe for $3 per month? I thought it was now free.

Go to Account in the hamburger menu, then Subscription status, then Other Options (if I remember right, it doesn't show for me now) and you can find the free option.
They really tried to hide it.
Edit: Dang, it finished activating and now says "Free Trial"!
I'll have to call them probably
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------
Ok: Phone support says the free option will become available after the 10 day trial, which will not automatically start charging. I'll find out in a week and a half if either thing is the case I guess.
I would double check that. I just set my account up and it said nothing of a free trial, and in my app it says I have "spam protection free" and I can subscribe for additional features at $2.99/month.

Installed and activated just fine on my Pixel 3 Xl.
To get free version go to hamburger menu - account - subscription options - there's a free protection option in there. It then "phones home" and in about a minute it said "Free Protection Activated"
The new dialer.apk had this built in
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
In order to enable the free call filtering, you have to login to your VZW account, go to plan, then apps and addons. There down the list you'll find the call filter with the free option. Then you just have to enable it on your line.
Strangely enough, it says my S8 isn't supported, and I downloaded the apk and it installed no problem, but there's no option in there for the free call filtering. But, it says when you enable it that it may take time to show up on your account.
They have an FAQ about it on their website, which I can't link to because I don't have enough posts. But just google "Call Filter FAQs" and it should show up.
Can anyone post the latest version?
As per the Play Store, the latest version is: 9.4.0 2019-02-15

I just wanted to bump this up in hopes someone can post the new APK. I have no idea why Verizon is restricting from older phones, as it works perfectly. But for now, installing the APK directly works fine.

I dont know what version I installed a while back, but the current version on my phone is 9.4.0 2019-02-26, which I am pretty sure I got thru an update.
Since I am not rooted atm, I cannot provide the latest apk....
Hate to bring it up again, but anyone have the latest, looks like on play its version 9.7.2 2019-07-18
https://android-apk.org/com.vzw.ecid/ . Think you will find google spam call filter very surprisingly good if you give it a chance
Website is checked and is safe.

Awesome, thanks! Was checking on some other APK repositories and couldn't find any with an actual download. With the HTC U11 I've got I don't think the default caller app has the ability to use the Google Spam filters, might check into getting a different phone app, or just upgrade soon

I don't see anything about a Google Spam filter on that website, but I do see newer versions of the Verizon Spam Filter (which I'm glad to have). Am I missing something?
Also, I tried installing the latest version of the Verizon Call Filter and it just keeps saying "app not installed". I have enabled install from unknown sources, but I noticed you can't uninstall the app from your phone once you have it on there.
i installed the apk. . and i actived with verizon. how do know its working? plus a spam call came thro
I'm hoping someone could help me out here...
I've looked through the Build.prop, and have dug through the system / vendor partitions trying to find the answer to this:
What are the differences between the VERIZON model and the unlocked one in terms of how the play store sees the device?
I have the unlocked version, and use it on Verizon, and it is frustrating to not be able to find and install many VERIZON specific apps, especially when considering the fact that I pay for the add-on services.
I have also downloaded the VERIZON version on the google factory images page, but even after flashing this version there is no Verizon boot screen (not for sure there is one tbh), and no call filter, or name ID apps are available through the play store!
Is there a way to give Google feedback or report issues with the pixel 6 pro? I already know they don’t read their Google Reddit page or stack exchange even though they refer people to stack exchange in their faq.
There is a support channel at the very bottom of the settings menu. Maybe it's something in there. I've never tried

I bought a phone off Ebay & everything was working just fine till I did a factory reset. Now, it’s stuck in demo mode. I can’t even power it off cause it asks me for some kind of code. Can you help me plz?
Ugh. The only thing that I saw was this post about the TCL 10 Pro in a similar mode:

Try this:
An app called Demo will appear in your apps. Locate and open the app. Click Ok,
and then Activate. The password for TCL is 852618. After you enter the password
it will say switching to the owner. Once done loading, simply click exit in the top
corner or close the app.
I don't know if the same code works for all TCL 20 Pro phones, but you can try it out anyways.

Oh man, Much love brother!! This phone was thrown to the side for over a year, and I tried many different ways including the ADB commands way, but nothing worked (with ADB method, I couldn't unlock developer settings). Thanks a lot!

I just bought one of these to replace a Galaxy S8 that had outlived it's usefulness. This post may save me plenty of hassle in the future *saves post*.
