Root and Sim unlock - Huawei Mate S

Anyone rooted or sim unlocked?
Method used?

There is already a TWRP available for Mate S (CRR-L09). So you can root by flash TRWP and SuperSu.
BUT!
At the moment there is no firmware available for Mate S to extract the original recovery. So, it's not possible to roll back to official stock recovery to do updates or in case of problems....
Bootloader Unlock is available by official Huawei homepage.

You're supposed to send an E-Mail to [email protected] with the following information and ask for an unlock code:
Product: ######your model type######## (mine is "HUAWEI GRA-L09" for example)
SN: ######your phone's serial number####### (Settings > About > Status)
IMEI: ######your phone's hardware number, called IMEI######## (Settings > About > Status)
Product ID: ###### (Go into your call dial pad and type *#*#1357946#*#*)
I've done so myself, but three weeks later and still haven't received anything.

I figured it out. In order to use the english bootloader unlock you need a phone number facebook account. I'm not sure if they are sending emails anymore so that might be the only way around it.

Where can I get twrp working on mate s ?

Same problem here, I mailed them, got that in response:
If you want to unlock your phone, you should meet these conditions as follow:
1、Please register your own Huawei ID on your phone other than any other third party.
2、Log in your Huawei ID for continuously 14 days on your phone which you need to unlock.
3、Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than twice within six months.

Make a facebook account with your phone number and log in that way. It'll work then.

lol really? I don't have an regular facebook account and I don't intend to make one with my phone number?!
I'd rather wait for a brute force unlock..

So, I actually tried to make an facebook account, linked that with my phonenumber and tried to log in to the emui portal to get an unlock code and I got the same error.
Tried to contact Huaweis support via email and got no reply ever after.
I think I will try to sell the phone and get another one. This su***.

3. just fill in forms and you will get an unlock code. At least it worked for me. I got it instantly.

Will try again tonight but yeah... It's just important to link your phone number with facebook before logging in, right?

Obtaining Product ID/ Bootloop Issue.

Hey guys,
Need some help here as I've checked everywhere I possibly can and can't find the answer. I've flashed the latest official ROM on 5.1.1 which worked and somewhere down the line it ended up in a bootloop. I've tried wiping data through the official recovery and still nothing. Anyways my bootloader was unlocked and after the ROM it got locked again. In order for me to unlock it again I need the Product ID which is hard now considering I can't access the phone setup. Checked the phone box and no luck. Is there anyway you guys know I can get the product ID through adb/fastboot commands?
Also I've tried the forced update method to get it working again but for some reason it keeps failing at around the 90percent mark possibly due to a corrupt partition.
Appreciate the help guys.

i'm not sure about exact Product Model/Number and i need exact name to calculate Product ID code (this string and IMEI are part of algo for calculation). can u check this at your phone settings or ask someone with same phone to check? i saw some video on youtube for A1 and it was "Huawei Y301A1", but not sure for A2.

The phone doesn't boot currently, however, from the information behind the battery I think it should be a Huawei Vitria Y301-A2.

I tried the fastboot OEM unlock code command. I am not really sure if the problem is the actual device or the code. The following is what I get when I try to unlock the bootloader:
Code:
C:\Users\Antonio>fastboot oem unlock 201137956925371
< waiting for device >
...
(bootloader) Unlocking ...
OKAY [ 0.121s]
finished. total time: 0.124s
C:\Users\Antonio>fastboot oem unlock 201137956925371
< waiting for device >
...
(bootloader) Unlocking ...
OKAY [ 0.061s]
finished. total time: 0.067s
On each attempt the phone restarts as it would be to expected to, however when i re-enter fastboot mode it still reports as being locked.
same happends when u try wrong code? or it just reject it. i'm not an expert, but read that some devices aren't unlockable (carrier decision). like here with motorola:

Hi ,
My brother bought P7-L10 from Kuwait and it worked well using SIM card from there. But when he reached India and tried Indian SIM card , it's not detecting. Tried different Service Providers SIM card, but still it's not detecting. Please let me know whether upgrading the firmware will solve the issue or not. It's having Build No: P7-L10V100R001C00B126 . Please help me to fix the problem. I've tried factory reset, but it doesn't worked.

When you power on the phone, it is shown something else than Huawei (something like vodafone or orange)?
If so, the phone is locked on the respective network, and you must unlock it, like our collegue ranaji said.
If not, it is possible to be a cust problem. That means that your phone was made for a geaographic region, and it will not work properly with other networks than the ones on the specified region. If so, you must change your cust number.
First, you must see what your cust number is. For that, search on Settings, phone properties, the last line <Cust Number< and tell us what is it. Good luck!!!
The phone is a very good phone!!!

During power on, nothing else is showing other than Huawei. Then I think, as you said, it was made for a geographic region. Custom Version: CUSTC433D619.
I've done firmware update for the respective region, but it's of no use.
Please help to solve the problem.

You will have to log in with a Huawei id or Facebook.
Choose reformatting lock. It will be somewhere in the top right or nearby there.
Enter your device serial, IMEI and ID, all of which are explained how to obtain there and you will get an unlock code.
If it does not work, as PalakMi said, go to the Chinese website to obtain it then.

Can we still unlock the bootloader on the Honor 9 lite?

Hey all,
So I've heard that Huawei has stopped giving out unlock codes? I tried to go to their website to apply for it (giving my IMEI etc) and instead of giving me a code it just says 'please contact Huawei for questions'
I'm trying to set up project treble with it if I can figure it out.
Thanks!
You can with dc unlocker. You Just need to pay 5 euros and they Will unlock boatloader
I got my code on 08/06/2018
In the morning at 7:05 AM IST on 08/06/2018 i applied for my bootloader unlock code and i got it easily. BTW did you cross check other pre-selected options? Like 1st one asking EMUI version? Maybe that's the reason of you not getting unlock code.
Try again or Use the mailing method(I don't know much about but you have to mail the support to obtain the unlocking code and it might take upto 2-3 days)
Just got my code for bootloader unlock directly from Huawei no issues, although i will not be using straight away i have kept it in a safe place.

I tried through their portal, and via email. This was their response:
We do apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing, however, it is our duty to inform you that Huawei Canada does not provide codes to unlock the bootloader, root the device or provides any tool/code to modify the phone internally. We kindly inform you that this action can potentially "brick" the phone or in other words, renders the phone completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have no control over how unlocking the bootloader or rooting the phone, will affect your device.
We understand that you might be able to start the request to get the bootloader unlock code from our EMUI website, regrettably, your device does not qualify to receive this code, since the Huawei Canada warranty policy limits us to do not provide this code in order to prevent future inconveniences to our consumers.
This bootloader unlocks code, it is just limited to be available for certain specific regions.
We are aware that you can find unofficial information over the internet, about how to root or unlock your phone and due to our Security and Privacy Policies, we cannot provide you these codes or tools, for that reason, we cannot assist you in that matter.
We highly recommend you refrain from taking these actions on your device.

I read the instructions for unlock of Huawei mobile, it requires you erase the Huawei id.
How does that affect warranty?
Can you reapply the old id if necessary?

No, you can't. DC-Unlocker neither autodetects the phone nor is it in the manual selection list. Also https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones says no bootloader unlocking service for said phone.
On the other hand Huawei support gave me this reply (translated by me) :
Hello [censored],
sadly the bootloader unlock code service has been terminated completely. I'm really sorry but I can't help you.
Best wishes,

Thanks for this, it appears to be the only bootloader unlock method currently available. Have you actually done this yourself? Can you (or anyone else) confirm that it works?
By the "instructions", I assume you mean the tutorial at http://hcu-client.com/read-bootloader-code-huawei-phone/. They seem clear, but they don't tell you how to actually use the code to unlock the bootloader! Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that? Thank you.

Yep, I mean the tutorial.
I have used this method a good few times, all successfully .
Dc-Unlocker/HCU allows direct unlock on a lot of models and gives the unlock code on others.
To use this code, put phone in "fastboot" mode and issue the command :-
fastboot oem unlock code
Phone should factory re-set (erasing all user data) with an unlocked bootloader.

Can you (or anyone else) confirm that it works?

I can confirm. There's just one thing to note: Deinstall the adb drivers from Microsoft and use the ones shipped with HiSuite. Else there will be no virtual COM port and as a result the tool won't find the phone. [EDIT]And don't try to use the tool in a VM. Sadly it refuses to work there.[/EDIT]
Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that?

1) Enable Settings > Developer Options > Enable OEM Unlock
2) Enable Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
3) Turn off phone
4) Press volume down key while connecting the phone to USB to boot the phone into fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot oem unlock <unlocking code>" on the PC the phone is connected to (install adb and fastboot first)
P.S. Many thanks to @Sparkrite for pointing us in the right direction!

Yep, I mean the tutorial.
I have used this method a good few times, all successfully .
Dc-Unlocker/HCU allows direct unlock on a lot of models and gives the unlock code on others.

Great, thank you! It's reassuring to know it works reliably. And I'm glad the unlocking process itself is so simple; I remember now having used the same method on another phone some time ago.

Thank you so much. With this method I successfully unlocked the bootloader of my Huawei Honor 9 Lite. No problems, just one oddity – the HCU software warns you that reading the bootloader unlock code will wipe your phone, and you have to acknowledge that to continue. This, of course, is not the case: it is using the code to unlock the bootloader that causes the phone to do a low-level reset. Presumably a mistake in the wording.

Hey all,
So I've heard that Huawei has stopped giving out unlock codes? I tried to go to their website to apply for it (giving my IMEI etc) and instead of giving me a code it just says 'please contact Huawei for questions'
I'm trying to set up project treble with it if I can figure it out.
Thanks!

I used HCU to read the bootloader unlock code before I saw your message, and so had not uninstalled the Microsoft ADB drivers. I had already installed HiSuite. It still worked for me, so presumably it is not necessary to uninstall the Microsoft ADB drivers unless HCU doesn't recognize the phone.

Any news?
Many thanks to those who contributed to this thread. I had no trouble unlocking the bootloader of my device using HCU after purchasing credit from DC-unlocker. At only 4 euros it was worth the money. The posted instructions were clear. Once HCU provided the code all I had to do was send it to the phone using fastboot..
