Hi guys,
Last week I've bought the Huawei P20 Lite and it's a great phone - but like the most of you all I like a rooted phone and the guide provided in this forum works perfectly but... my Huawei P20 Lite must have an unlocked bootloader.
No problem, I've used the Huawei unlock password webpage on my previous phone (P9 Lite), eh.... right... like other user mentioned - it's down for unknown reasons and an alternative isn't possible. Believe me I've tried them all - even the chinese pages which are very hard to read if you're not born in that country
So, I've read about DC-Unlocker other users have used to succesfully to get the bootloader unlock code but even when following every known tutorial to use it correctly I got no luck on my Windows 10 PC for hours to connect the needed COM ports. Even the programmer of DC-Unlocker respons in a forum question the software will only work on the P20 Pro!? But, other users managed to get the code.... strange..
Finally I've managed to get the bootloader unlock code and I do want to share it for all other users having troubles connecting the phone to use DC-Unlocker. It's my first tutorial so please be patient if I'm not clear or missing something; if that's the case do respond.
Method 1:
This one is quite easy but you'll need some patience (a couple of days in my case). Send a message with a request using the offical Huawei website and the Contact Us option: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/
I send a mail something like this:
Dear customer support,
I would like to receive an unlock bootloader code for my Huawei P20 Lite phone. I am aware I'll void my warranty but would like to get receive the code anyway.
Thank you.

A few days later I've got a respons with the answer this is possible and a few questions for the data they need to do so. Responding to the e-mail will result in the unlock code you'll need.
I cannot say how long it exactly will take to get a respons. In my case it was arranged in a few days but don't know how quick the respons will be for any other user.
Method 2:
For anyone who cannot wait a couple of days (like me), here's an alternative which will cost about 4 to 5 euro's (credits) to get the code using DC-Unlocker.
Requirements:
DC-Unlocker client which can be downloaded here: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads
Windows 7 or 8 (Windows 10 didn't work for me - but hey, you can always try :good
Well, let's go:
First connect your phone to the PC using the original USB cable.
When drivers are installed a popup screen would appear to view the "HiSuite" drive. This is a created drive-letter which contains a HiSuite Software downloader. Click to open or use the Windows Explorer to browse to this virtual drive.
Install the HiSuite software - this is important to get the correct drivers AND correct COM ports installed on your system. Skipping this step will result in non working DC Unlocker software.
When all is done go to the settings in your phone and open: System -> About Phone and tap the Build-number line about 7 to 8 times. Most likely the phone will ask for a PIN to active the developers mode. This is the code you've setup to use your phone. If you're already have a "developers option" you can skip this step.
Now click the "back" arrow once and select "Developer options".
Tap OEM-Unlock to activate it (confirm if needed), scroll down and tap USB Debugging to turn it on.
Your phone should ask permission to connect your PC (with some MAC address). Confirm it so the connection is approved. If that doesn't show up disconnect the USB cable and check if the USB debug mode is still active in the "Developer options". Than reconnect the cable to your PC.
Now we're ready to use the DC-Unlocker software to get our unlock code:
First you need some credits and you can buy the using this link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy
Just fill in the the fields User-name, E-mail and Credits. Leave the "New user account" option selected if you are a new user.
For the Credits you only need 4 of them. I, initially, bought 5 so I still have one left
You'll receive a confirmation e-mail with a username and password. These are needed a bit later.
Extract the DC-Unlocker client to a fold and start it by clicking dc-unlocker2client.exe using the Windows Explorer (or any other file manager). To be sure you can also right-click the file and start the program using Administrator credentials.
Select in the right portion of the program the tab "Server" and enter the username and password you've received by mail. Check the "Remeber" box and click "Check login" to verify your account.
Click in the left portion of the program the dropdown list below "Select manufacturer" and choose "Huawei phones".
Leave the droplist "Select model" selected at "Auto detect (recommended)".
Grab your phone and open your dialer to type this code: *#*#2846579#*#* - this will get you into the service menu of the phone.
Tap 1. Background Settings -> USB Port Settings and select Manufacture Mode and than tap Close.
Put the phone done and let your PC install the newly found drivers.
If that's done click the Magnifying glass in the DC-Unlocker client software.
If all is connected correctly your phone is detected and a message in the white part of the program will tell you so. Also the "Select Model" field should display Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android if the detection is succesfull.
Now you're ready to read the unlock code! Yeah!
Click in the right portion of the DC-Unlocker client on the tab Unlocking.
Several buttons are visible but just click Unlock which could take a few moments before something is displayed in the white area at the bottom of the program window.
The unlock code can be copied and pasted - so please do copy the number to a text file and store it savely on your computer or in your cloud.
You are the proud owner of the unlock bootloader code of your phone so have fun and start rooting it using the tutorials on this forum! Have fun!
Final note (once again): I did not have any success getting the unlock code using DC-Unlocker while using a Windows 10 PC. No matter which drivers I tried, no matter how many times a tried, tried and tried some more - nothing would work. The needed virtual COM ports to read the phone information couldn't be installed. Finally I've used an older Windows 7 laptop and it work like a charm!
So beware; when you've no luck using Win 10, stop wasting time and use a virtual machine or old laptop/PC which has Win 7 (maybe Win 8)!
I've used the official website today and got my unlock code in a seconds.

Really? Guess, they are back online than. Do you mind to share the exact link in this thread for other users? Thanks!
I used this link: https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index
It seems that the site will be up just for today
Sad. But lucky me, I got the code. I hope they will not lock it with the next OTA.

This link is still active. Atleast for now; when entering the UNLOCK page on the website this announcement pops up:
To provide better user experience and avoid issues caused by ROM flashing, the unlock code application service will be stopped for all products launched after 2018-5-24.
For products released prior to this date, the service will be stopped 60 days after this announcement.
Thank you for your understanding. We will continue to provide you with quality services.

If I understand it correctly this unlock page is only available for about 60 days. The unlock page should be accessible until the 23rd of july 2018? I guess sending them an email will still do the job or you can use the DC-Unlocker tool as described in this topic.
Will they automatically cancel your warranty if you request this unlock code?
Hello everyone. I downloaded de DC-Unlocker, did all the process exactly as the steps and in the end the tool said it was successful and that my phone is now unlocked. However, it never gave me the code.
Is there any way to retrieve this code?
Edit: It seems all the wanted was more money. I had to buy an extra 4 credits to click on the option "read unlock code". Now I have it and my phone is unlock

I was using Windows 7.
Ironically, i had to revert it back to stock and lock the bootloader again because the phone was hardware damaged and I needed to take it back to the store so the could exchange it.
I don't want to spend more money to unlock the bootloader and root it, so this new phone will remain totally stock unless it is extremely necessary
Mine seems to work with DC Unlocker, but how to verify?
Thanks!

God damn. I seem to run into the same issue. CLT-L29 8.1.0.152(C432)
I heard that it's impossible to unlock the bootloader even if you have the code for it if running the latest OS update. Is this true? Are we stuck with Huawei's spyware for good?

Dear Mr xxxxx,
thank you for your request regarding the bootloader code.
My name is Tolga Akburak, I would be happy to take care of your request.
We have stopped support for the bootloader code.
Therefore, unfortunately, it would no longer be possible.
If you have any further questions, I look forward to reading from you again. Until then, thank you very much for the pleasant communication and have a nice day.
Best regards,

Is it true that if your phone is unlocked there is some kind of warning message during boot?
HELP POST
I've purchased a 2nd hand Pixel 2 XL 128GB, Checked with IMEI and found it is a GOOGLE varient and useing it.
But my "OEM UNLOCKING" option is greyed out i'm currently on jun 5 patch. Tried several methods to unlock but OEM unlock toggle is not enabling.
1. Tried basic method, 2. Tried with factory reset, 3. Tried factory reset without sim and proceeded with no setup,
All these method gave no results. Consulted google but they require Order ID which is not possible to get at this point.
Anyone has any ideas which I missed. I really got this phone for all the customization possibilities and camera.

I thought the consensus was there was no way of knowing by just checking the IMEI. I could be wrong though.
Did you try another sim card?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Try booting into bootloader mode. It should specify what variant it is, and at least show some serial numbers. Contact Google and ask them if they can check for you as well.
If it's a non-Verizon, definitively, you can try flashing the latest factory image from Google using fastboot without your SIM inserted.
Mine was greyed out too until I connected to WiFi, then rebooted. Then I could toggle. Freaked me out too because I bought it off of Swappa. That I was duped for s second.

My bootloader screen picture is also shared in this post. As contacted google through chat, they also said it is non-verizon mode.
My CID : 00000000
Even without my sim inserted I've tried and result coming same. dunno why. Did you had this issue ? Can you share the solve you tried ?

I booted the phone, set it up (added my account) using WiFi. After I set it up I noticed I couldn't toggle the OEM unlock. I rebooted, checked again, at that point I was able to toggle. That was just my situation though.

Pixel 2 xl OEM allow bootloader unlockewd
Hey really anyone..I have been able to duplicate twice each time a little different... I will continue to test and see if I can find a straight forward example that will yield a quick consistent result...The problem is now when I do a adb reboot booloader to actually unlock it still says not allowed when I was looking at the beauty of the toggle flipped on in dev optoins prior to having to reboot to bootloader ...its not wanting to stick ...soooo....wondering if there is a way to stay in the adb session without the adb reboot bootloader command to get to fastboot...or have some sorta multi user attack at this..can one be connected to the phone through the network adb option and fastboot at same time...or is there a adb command to unlock bootloader rather than fastboot...or can one make a script that could..I assume not I'd or at leat not without writing something above my abilities...but anyways I'm on current as of today for the pixel 2 xl verizon...by total mistake...I forgot the kill the dev slider on auto update system and it was to late...so this is achievable on current firmware. but I can read above where ppl have actually got the toggle off and freaked out too...but Ive done it 3 or 4 times now inside of 30 minutes but cant figure out how to issue the unlock command while its off or iff its impossible...so may not have anything here yet but man it sure looks pretty...I have a video of it and more Im making now to try and help someone crack this already...lol
still at it..
so far it appears to follow toggle wifi..flip over to dev...back to wifi...to dev...so forth and you catch it on...if you toggle the wifi on.. then off....then out and into dev oem option ..the wifi on and off few times then in and out of dev oem option then all the sudden I just am about to hit out of dev again when I notice its flippable......flip it on then confirm...but thats where Im stumped...it on is all I know pretty as can be after confirmation...hmmmm

If it is indeed the FRP lock then you have two options:
Input the last used google account information and password. Then perform a factory data reset to turn off the FRP lock
If you purchased or was given the phone contact the person whom you received it from and get the google account information. After entering the account and once your able to use the device perform a factory data reset to disable FRP lock
Otherwise no other help can be offered because the FRP lock is an anti-theft measure. If it was your google account last used and you don't remember your username/password then contact google for help. If you purchased or were given the device then you need to return it and/or get your back.
It is important to remember that when you sell/buy a phone (or give it to another person) it is important to always perform a factory data reset on the device. By performing a factory data reset you remove the google account information and disable the FRP lock.
Thank you, none of these options come into play. There is no way to get rid of this situation with this software? ;(.. Regards

FRP lock is enabled because a google account was present on the phone. In order to remove the FRP lock you need to input the Google account information and perform a factory data reset after your able to access the settings menu.
Was it your google account information that was last used on the phone or someone else's?
Granted it would be helpful if you put a little more info on what it is your trying to do exactly with the phone and what happened leading up to the issue (example: Are you trying to flash firmware to it, are you trying to root it (if root exists for the model), did you buy the phone, did someone give it to you, etc)
It is plain clear that the device is from an unclear origin, a legally owned device can ALWAYS be serviced ultimately by samsung or carrier, whichever one does it in such or such country, when people says it is "imposible" then for sure, they have no legal proof of ownership
I just found that OP posted a similar situation in the honor 10 section, back in 2018, in which of course nobody offered help, as it looked suspicious

The phone had a google account, I did a hard reset. And the blockade popped out. I can go to the Samsung website but I will have to pay for this service. I wanted to rotate the device. I'm not a layman, I know a little about phones. However, this model had the latest firmware. I am not a thief and I have documents for this device.

Factory data reset disables FRP lock. If that is what you did then you shouldn't be getting a prompt. Since you can't enter the Google account information it is apparent it was not your Google account last used.
Unfortunately having papers saying you bought it doesn't mean the phone was obtained legitimately. The person you got it from may not have had the right to sell it.
I suspect there is more going on here then meets the eye.
If Samsung said they really can fix it go that route.
The proper ways to get help with FRP lock have been posted.
Recover the Google account and log in as usual, or seek official help from Samsung. Any other means will not be discussed on XDA.
Hello, I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY A50 (SM-A505FN / DS) (Android 11, A505FNXXU8CUE4, XEO - Poland) phone with FRP lock (phone is legal, no possibility to recover password on Google account), I am trying to remove FRP lock according to this guide :
In the ninth minute my problem begins, namely I need a second SAMSUNG phone, unfortunately I do not have a second SAMSUNG to access SAMSUNG account and back up the Alliance Shield X application and restore this application to a locked FRP phone.
Regards.
I have a request, I have a SAMSUNG account, if I share my SAMSUNG account with someone, can someone log into my SAMSUNG account on their SAMSUNG phone and only make copies of this Alliance Shield X app as per this guide?
Please help.

All that Alliance Shield procedure was a big headache for me.
Hello All,
I purchased this phone from Facebook Marketplace and it is locked to a google account. The seller has not responded to my messages after the deal. I was hoping I could find a solution for this but I'm stuck at a dead end after weeks of searching.
The Android Recovery page shows: Android 11, G986USQS2DUE2. I've come to know that it is on binary 2 of the bootloader and that has been the crux of the issue since there is no combination firmware available for this version to reset the lock. If it was still on binary 1 I could have flashed the combo firmware, reset the lock, and then flashed back with Odin.
I was hoping someone could let me know my options here. As far as I know I'm S.O.L and lost my money which isn't a big deal. But I've been having fun trying to figure it out. None of the YouTube methods have worked for me.
Apologies if this is not the correct forum or if this type of question is not allowed. Thanks in advance!
edit: Was able to solve it with some useful tools I found on YouTube. Won't advertise the tool here but basically used my PC & USB command to sneak into the app store and download Alliance Shield to enter debug mode and was able to unlock it with the tool.
