Use DC Unlocker. 4 Euro, and you will get your code in less than 5 minutes
BTW, imei changing is illegal. So nobody gonna help you on that here i guess. Not sure why you want to do it anyway

Which country? Try UK support. For example, Russian support is completely useless and just sends you steps how to do it on non-functional site.
UK support sent me the code on the next day (on may 12).

Make sure to provide a decent reason - I kinda lied about not using my new phone, but reality is i'd really sell it if I could not unlock it and get rid of ads.
I guess, simply saying you want adaway installed and that needs root shall be enough. Last part skips voids-warranty-are-you-sure? exchange.
A friend of mine called UK support on viber on may 10th, but ended up with same uk support mail exchage asking him for details, warning about risks and got his code a day later than me I believe.
He told them he wanted to flash clean firmware or something like that... be creative.

Content:I bought P20 pro few weeks ago and I desperately want to unlock my bootloader, but unlock link is 404/dead for ages now.One of the reasons for actually buying Huawei phone was the information that bootloader unlock is actually easy - I'm sick and tired of ads and I want root/adaway installed asap + I want google dialer.... It sucks to be walking around with my old Xiaomi mi6 and not a new shiny Huawei.Please let me know, how can I get an unlock code in any other way. Serial xxxxxxxxxx, product ID xxxxxx, IMEI xxxx/xxx. I know the risks etc and I'm sure I want to unlock my bootloader.

Dear Name,
Thank you for contacting Huawei Customer Care and the provided details.
We have now created a request for you in order to receive the bootloader code. As soon as we receive it, we will forward it to you.
Thank you for your patience and please let us know if you have any other questions.
May 12:
Dear Name,
Thank you for your patience.
I have received the necessary code you need to use in order to root your device.
The code is: my-code-here
As explained in our previous e-mails, please note that using the bootloader code and rooting the device will void the warranty.
I trust this information is of assistance. In a couple of hours, you might receive a survey regarding the experience you have had with Huawei Customer Care. We would appreciate your feedback. Should you have any further queries, please feel free to get back to us anytime.
I wish you a wonderful day!

Yeah---
I used that one to unlock mine... Was quick and paid using paypal. I just had to do paypal payment 18eur, mail them my IMEI code and a few time (less tahn 1 hour) after the unlock code was mailed to me... Just needed to enter the "foregein" sim, pda asks codes, me enter all done! lol!
But in general I was a bit suspicious about other sites since they didn't provide too many info and asked for weird payments methods like western union...

re above post
merely an adjustment, to pricing, that would benefit everyone in the forum, and deprive the profit making organisations of what should rightly be going to the forum instead of their pockets.
NO MENTION OF MEMBER/S MAKING PROFIT, Please read post clearly!
Btw : As per post on site www.htccode.com
Price: 22 USD / 18 EURO/ 15 GBP
Another vote from me for HTCcode.com
I just unlocked my Touch HD which was previously locked to Orange and is now happily running on O2
I had the unlock code within 30 minutes of making payment and they answered a question I emailed them within 5 minutes.
Great service!

Excellent service and response. Could communicate "live" via MSN. Even corrected me when I gave the wrong IMEI number.
Great service doesn't come cheap but can be relied upon. Highly recommended.

You can't unlock your bootloader after 22th July!

Received this notification that says the company no longer support unlocking bootloader after 22nd July. Attaching the screenshot here.
What you think? The future is dark?

If you already have your unlock code it should be fine.
If you don't you should still be able to use DC to get it.
But this is for current phones, for future ones we may not even get unlock code from DC (as P20 can not, for example)
Which ends the ROM scene.
No need to go and unlock it. No developer will support this phone ( or Huawei) for buy long..
Luckily, due to Treble, existing customers will not be left in the cold. Not sure what Huawei will gain from all of this though. They also lost me as a customer. And my friends, and my family.

Where's DC, what is this?
Just boycott their products : )
I think it makes sense for them to avoid users from unlocking their devices. I have seen several people returning their devices for installing custom stuff badly and then when they revert back to stock, some features are lost (again, for doing things the wrong way). Stupid people costs any company lots of money, ergo, they rather remove the feature and remain safe.
Any idea how to register for an account on the Huawei website? It doesn't give an option for the US (or Canada for that matter).

Don't bother your self, I've tried dc-unlocker a few days ago, and it ended not supporting my Huawei P20 Lite, and their support sucks, I've seen some posts on Reddit from people who contacted Huawei's support on twitter, and they positively responded with the code, try your chances.

You can try the DC Unlocker through a Virtual Machine, you better try it on a Windows 7.
@update, their technical support ( the contact form on the huawei's website ) can get your bootloader unlocking code, the only issue is that it takes a few days, til you receive it.

In the good, old days it was just a matter of submitting info like model, device id, imei, e-mail address via an on-line form to Huawei - hence not depending on the PC and its OS

Re-obtaining a bootloader code from Huawei

Hi all,
Back when the P20 Pro was released and Huawei was still offering codes, I obtained one.
However I cannot for the life of me remember what I did with it, now a recent flash (my fault) of a service firmware, relocked my bootloader.
Do you think Huawei will give me my code again? Seeing as they aren't actually unlocking a new device or one out of the grace period back in July?
Who would be best to contact to check?
UK based.
I doubt that. But anyway, Huawei is doomed and so i suggest you wait. Maybe they will reopen bootloader unlocking

If they replaced your motherboard then they changed the IMEI too, which means you need a new bootloader unlock

Ok so, i highly doubt they will give you the unlock code for your phone since they don't provide bootloader unlock codes, but you can give it a try using Hicare

I did not say I sent my device to them? I said I couldn't find the unlock code they sent me??
You're making things up.
Please don't worry about replying. This thread already looks mental.
I'm in the same boat. I'm so sure I saved it somewhere, but just can't find it now.
And what the heck is The Restless Soul on about? He's either on drugs or having a stroke, it's really weird.

So the unlock code depends on your IMEI, serial and product ID right - so it doesn't matter if the OS is upgraded?
I have my unlock code from March 2018 when I got the phone.

That's correct.
However if you rebranded by funky Huawei then your code will have altered and you won't be able to reuse it..
If you didn't, or you used the guide I worked on then you'll be fine..
Can I ask, how did you obtain the code? What method of delivery did they use?? I've checked every email I own and found nothing..
So it must have come up on screen during the unlock process, im annoyed at myself for not making a note, I didn't imagine I'd ever need it again..
That being said, this is my data which I obtained from Huawei and by law in entitled to a copy of it.
So they are obligated to assist.

Question Verizon/Samsung Gift Card Promotion Tips - Expiration

Hey Folks:
Quick tips: ACT SOON
If you purchased your S21 series phone on the Verizon website during the pre-order period of 1/14-1/28, you are eligible for a gift card and smart tag promo on the Samsung website. The value depends on the model
If you call Verizon about it - YOU WILL WASTE YOUR TIME BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS.
Call the Samsung Promotions number: 1-800-726-7864. Having a Samsung account is necessary too
You will need your receipt or the ability to take a picture of it. you will also need to reference your IMEI Number
I had a woman walk me thru it using the Shop Samsung ans Smart Tutor apps by Samsung.
This promotion expires on 2/28/21 So you'd better act soon
Good luck!
Did your phone register successfully for the pre-order offer? Mine won't register for the offer in the Samsung Shop app. Anything special you did?

Even if I type it in , it fails. Something with the app or my activation but no one on that line can help. I can try the chat tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up. I needed to register two devices, and the app acts like it will allow this but it doesn't work. Called the 800# and they had me uninstall then reinstall the app to perform the 2nd registration.
