Did anyone on here purchase their P20 Pro from Gearbest? - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

I was just wondering how smooth the process was, and which model of the phone did they send you?

Huawei P20 Pro Issue: Line below the HUAWEI Logo

Hi Guys!
I've been using my Huawei P20 Pro for about a month and discovered a line on the back of the device, below the HUAWEI logo. Its visible when smudged with fingerprint oil(?)
Anyone have it? should i return it to get it fixed or not?
PS: can't post a pic since I'm new.

Not got this issue and as it's on the back, it's likely they will just claim either you did it or general wear and tear.

What P20 Pro is this?

i bought a p20 pro on wish and it came from china and all i kno about it is it has the MTK6592 CPU 64 gig memory and 4gb ram and it didnt come with a sim card tray and it has 2 imeis stated in the settings, just really trying to figure out which model i have and to see if i can root twrp and anything else, if anyone has any ideas or questions for me feel free to ask

lol i bought it on wish and it was 100 dollars but i got it refunded, and i got the refund back in my bank today..
why not at least put a sim card in it , i got one as well and now place to put sim card , they say remove the back cover which still revels no sim card slots
i knew it was a clone for $100 and they did not even call it a Huawei they did call it a P20 thou it has wifi surfs the net down loads to the Memory card
Don't think the cameras are what they say and finger unlock seems to work quite well.
Wish wont get to much business this way.
Be interesting to see if i can cliam my money back for no Flipping sim card
mine had a sim card slot but came with no tray! the phone is useless at that point, talk to wish if u cannot use the device and it is not genuine they should give u a refund. like they did me, but my question is why would anyone ship a new phone with no sim card tray! lol useful haha >=(

Someone please sell me a P20 Pro Dual Sim with unlocked bootloader. Please.

Hey guys
Im looking for a new phone currently and the only one which suits me is apparently a P20 Pro.
I want to use Xposed (im still on a Moto Z with Marshmallow (rip Qwerty Keyboard Mod I bought this phone for -.-)) but Im not sure what the current situation is. As far as I can tell, Xposed on Pie isnt quite working yet, so I was trying to look for a phone which is still on Oreo, or where there is a functioning Oreo ROM for.
But since the latest Huawei debacles with unlock Codes and such, Im very confused what to do.
If I buy a new P20 Pro, it comes with 8.1 on the box, but I cant buy unlock codes anymore? If I buy a used one, it might has 9.0 on it, but I cant use Xposed with it then, besides also no unlock codes?
Is there anyone willing to sell me a used P20 Pro with open bootloader, please? I would very much appreciate that! If it comes already rooted on a 8.x ROM even better!
Please!
Cheers

Yes. I got one, only for the very small price of 1000$. You pay the delivery and you send the money first.
No money, no honey, bunny
I was thinking about selling mein, unlocked bootloader and alrdy updated with Magisk passing saftynet and banking apps working.
If you r intersection , and you live in Europe, pm me,
Mines getting sold soon. Single SIM L29 c432 rebranded from L09.
Once I get my OnePlus 7 pro it'll be going on Swappa unless I find a buyer elsewhere.
Nothing wrong with it..
Bootloader unlocked. In black. Probably going to sell for £200-250 boxed etc, case.

P30 Pro blacklisted

Hello!
Some scumbag sold my wife a phone that became blacklisted just over a month later. I thought it was a legit transaction as I got the original receipt even. Turned out they claimed that phone was lost to the device protection insurance that was also purchased to get replacement phone.
F***ng Rogers Canada does not want to remove it from the blacklist even though they investigating the original purchase as being fraud. I found few ads about "IMEI fixing" but they do not do P30 Pro (at east not yet)
Does anyone know any method to fix IMEI? Or anyone who would do this?
Thanx!!!

Any chance you paid with PayPal or another online service that you can dispute with? Credit card dispute?
If you paid cash, you're definitely SOL =\
SOL, cash... I know
Same situation for me
I'm looking for solutions to unlock it and the only solution right now would be to root the phone and change the IMEI. And it seems we can't rooted this Huawei at the moment.
If you find a solution before me, I would be very interested. Tks
Carrier blacklists are the worst. They only hurt good customers. Screen your customers better and make them pay, not other folks
Unfortunately seems like due to Huawei locking the bootloader for good removed the option to fix IMEI.
I tried like 10 places that do this for Samsungs and others and this was the reply i got...
Enabling 'manufacture port' under background settings>USB port settings will help to repair imei without root? I bought p30 pro from private seller recently, and having feeling that its going blacklist soon
So - just got the phone fixed for CAD $100. Took the guy 10 mins, says he's been doing it for a couple of years for Huawei phones. I am glad and grateful but still would like to know how to do this. Can't believe there is nothing about this on XDA.
IMEI unchanged, he said that he changed something in a file system and that the fix survives phone resets and system updates.
Does anyone have an idea what was done?

Hi,
Im based in Ireland and sadly in a similar situation where I bought a P30 Pro for my partner only for the seller to report it stolen 2 weeks later (we presume). Bottom line is the IMEI is blacklisted and I'm hoping to make some use of the phone again. Would it be possible to pass on the person that can make the phone working on my network please privately or perhaps point me in the direction to help remedy this in some way, thanks!

Mine isnt and its been fine. Just get a phone from a Xiaomi Certified stores and also do a background check if they are offering a return or replacement for factory damaged phones. Dont accept anything that would cost you cheaper than the recommended price.
