For device-specific information, please see the next post.

Mate 10/Mate 10 Pro Device-Specific Information
WARNING: Huawei has considerably improved the security of the Mate 10 compared to previous models.
This means that it is extremely easy to brick the phone if you don't know what you are doing.
FunkyHuawei tools are safe and will not brick your phone, but if you do end up bricking your phone by trying other methods, you can contact FunkyHuawei for help.
All FunkyHuawei features are currently working on the Mate 10, including installing software, recovering bricks, and rebranding.
FunkyHuawei is also offering a new, free feature to root your phone, but rooting will cause the following issue:
-You will lose your data partition, including any carrier/vendor customizations-
To root and rebrand a phone with an unlocked bootloader, please google for the "FunkyHuawei Mate 10 Root/Rebranding Tool"
To rebrand a phone with a locked bootloader, please google for the "FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool"
With these tools, a full rebrand is possible. You can get OTA updates, and the phone will function entirely like a phone from its new region.
Old methdos do not work with the Mate 10, so you will need to use one of those tools.
To install a firmware update which matches the branding of your phone, you can use the eRecovery method posted in the instructions section of the FunkyHuawei page.
However, when installing a firmware update the first time after using a rebranding tool, you must use a specific version of HiSuite. Please see the instructions included with the tool for more information.
Recommended Branding: ALP-L29 C636 hw/spcseas
We see the most frequent firmware updates for this model, so we recommend everyone rebrand to it for fastest updates.
NOTE: If you want to rebrand a Single-Sim device to Dual-Sim, you MUST use the "FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool" with a locked bootloader. If you use the Mate 10 tool you can rebrand, but you will not gain dual sim functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!

Any way to flash these updates (when you have already rooted using the tool), and not lose root?

Unfortunately, no. You will lose root if you flash the updates, and will need to root again afterwards, each time, if you want root.
Take note that the Mate 10 is extremely easy to brick if you touch the wrong things, so be careful with what you do as root!

It's just a slow download, due to your geographic location being far from the server. If you are in Vietnam, you'll get better speed by choosing ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) and not 119. Or you can wait for the slower download for the newest version.
To be clear, if you're using eRecovery, this is AFTER you already successfully installed once with HiSuite, right?
If HiSuite downloads faster you can do the second install with HiSuite too.

You'd still need to use FunkyHuawei to install 119, so no... not until the OTA is pushed out by Huawei.

Yes, that's correct.
Second install is done same way as first install, but should reach 100%.

Bootloader Unlock -> Questions , Firmware : VTR-L09 8.0.0.382

Hello All.
I am relativly new to the XDA forum. Mostly i read stuff here, to get very good infos about problems you can run into, and i was able to solve them by reading some threads here. So really glad something like this exit ! Now i think i need to be a lil bit more active inside XDA to get more precise answers. I am a bit confused about the topic: "Bootloader Unlock". So i don´t know which solution might be the best to acomplish my task : get "bootloader unlock" / "root" & "TWRP" on my Huawei P10.
This is my Model :
HUAWEI P10 : VTR-L09
Firmware : VTR-L09 8.0.0.382
Since the official-Huawei sites which provided the "Bootloader Unlock" has been closed, i only found these non-Huawei sites, which promise to provide the "Bootloader Unlock":
1.) Ministry of Solutions ( hxxps_//ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-htm )
2.) Global Unlocking Solutions ( hxxps_//global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below )
3.) Funky Huawei ( hxxps_//funkyhuawei.club/buycodes )
4.) Huawei Sim Unlock ( hxxps_//xxx.huaweisimunlock.com/huawei-unlock-prices.html#prices )
5.) DC - Unlocker ( hxxps_//xxx.dc-unlocker.com/ )
6.) HCU - Client ( hxxps_//hcu-client.com/features/ )
(can´t provide Links, because new user)
I guess these "pay"-method services are the only way to get your codes for the "Bootloader Unlock" !? Can anyone confirm, that these listed-services, or some of them works ? (Sadly DC-Unlocker didn´t worked for me. Maybe i´ve done something wrong)
a.) Is it correct, that you need to rollDown from Oreo to Nougat to unlock your bootloader ? (i got Oreo on my phone)
b.) You can´t even think of to "root" your phone and get "TWRP" on it, before you don´t unlocked the Bootloader ? (Or are there maybe other methods to get "root" & "TWRP" onto P10)
It would be great, if someone can give some hints, expirences, or Links to another threads which handles this topic. When on both questions a.) & b.) the answer is = true, so my biggest problem than is, to get my phone unlocked (Bootloader unlock) !
Thanks in advance

No! You still can unlock your bootloader with Oreo installed. You just need the unlock code.

Yes, you need TWRP to root your phone, because you need to flash either SuperSU or Magisk. With stock recovery it's not possible, but you can flash stock recovery after you rooted, if you wish.
This are the direct anwers to your questions, now I'll go a bit further:
Unlock:
DC Phoenix is the only tool which I confirm it's working to unlock the phone.
You're right, Huawei stopped to provide the unlock code to "provide the best expierence for all users". I call this bull****, since DC Phoenix and FunkyHuawei are driven by Huawei.
But if you want to unlock, the only way is to pay - and DC Phoenix works (don't ask me how, I never used it, I just read many posts about it) - it's also cheap with $4.
NOTICE: AN UNLOCK WILL CAUSE A FACTORY RESET!
TWRP:
I can recommend the TWRP by @espaciosalter20 even it's just for testing purpose.
For me it works very well. This version also supports /data decryption (it's the only version for P10 atm, I believe).
Root:
The best way to root is with Magisk, because it's a safe method and the tweaks as systemless installed. This is good for passing SafetyNet, even if it doesn't work for every app (SafetyNet is a check if your phone is unlocked and rooted, some apps check it, mostly banking apps, but also games like Mario Run).
For this, you need to unlock and install TWRP. After this you can proceed installing Magisk.
- Just download the latest stable zip, the manager apk and also the uninstaller, if something went wrong.
- Make a backup of /system if it makes problems while or after installing.
- Install the Magisk zip via TWRP
- Boot the phone (takes a bit!)
- Install the Manager app.
- Done.
If you want to unroot you can either flash your /system backup or update your phone to the same or a newer version with my guide.
I hope this answered all questions!
Have fun with your P10 - and backup your unlock code if you got one!

Thx for the detailed answer !
I´ve done allready rooting with my current Honor 6 (yeah, its also a huawei brand). And it worked smoothly. Because i don´t needed huawei or any service to get a "Bootloader Unlock"-Code.
I got my unlock Code by an App !!! Don´t believe it ? Its called "HonorTuner" ( hxxps_//forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/unlock-code-via-honortuner-t3217651 ). Really a great App. But it seems it only works for older Honor-Devices. I wish something like that app would exist for Huawei P10. Anyways, just wanted to say, that doing the rooting on "P10" is pain in the ass (without a bootloader unlock code).
As said before, i didn´t managed to get a unlock code or to unlock the bootloader with the tool DC-Unlocker. Do you know whats the difference between DC-Unlocker & DC-Phoenix ? I think i need a step-by-step Tutorial to get it working with DC-Phoenix / DE-Unlocker. The last time, i tried it with DC-Unlocker it went wrong, and i lost money . Therefore i just want to be prepared, with a tutorial on it.

@absynteZero created a guide, maybe this helps.

Thx very much @Jannomag. I think this is exactly what i was searching for. I will try it out, as soon as i get some more time. Afterwards i will give you here some feedback about my P10 Bootloader unlock / rooting / -story

I am back. (or better to say my phone)
Now with a little help of this forum, i succeeded to "unlock the Bootloader". Thx to the provided links of "Jannomag". My TWRP version was from this links and the guide-how-to. It was very well explained.
So i can confirm that DC-Unlocker (DC-unlocker client software V1.00.1403) works with an Huawei P10 Oreo OS. I just paid 4,-eur to get 4-credits and with it you can read out the Bootloader Code. It is important
that your ADB Drivers recognize your phone. You can check it by typing into the CMD "adb devices", it should display you your phone serial number. Best way to install all nescecary drivers is to install the actual HiSuite, because everything goes automaticly. Next step is to Start DC-Unlocker, connect your phone to PC, find your phone inside DC-Unlocker (there must be shown a COM-x port with a number). After this step you need to log-in within DC-Unlocker Server (after you paid 4,-eur , you got a user name + password). Finaly you can click on "unlocking" and "read Bootloader Code". In few seconds you got your Code. You should copy n pasta this Code somewhere onto your SD-Card / PC.
After my Bootloader was unlocked, i was able to install TWRP and with TWRP i was able to install Magisk v18.0 , the newest version. I was also able to update my OREO ver. VTR-L09 8.0.0.382(C02)-FULL to VTR-L09 8.0.0.389(C02)-FULL with TWRP oreoupdate , Tutorial-2 ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286 ). Mission accomplished

Can you please confirm it worked even it says in the warning:
WARNING:
Huawei P10 VTR-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
Huawei P10 plus VKY-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
I am asking as I tried to unlock bootloader thru https://ministryofsolutions.com but got refunded as "Huawei has updated security and its impossible to read bootloader unlock code on new firmwares. Only 30 euro service can unlock latest firmware bootloader. "
Thanks!

Trust me ... as long as you have an Oreo OS, you are able to read the Bootloader Code. Its seems its not a big deal for DC-Unlocker. And in comparison to 30,-eur ... 4,-eur seems much cheaper . I really don´t like these methods and i am angry Huawei closed their possibility to get a Code from them, i was forced to use such a service. However, the first time i tried DC-Unlocker it didn´t worked because i was unknown about the procedure. I lost 15,-eur. And gladly i found help on this forum here. With some detailed guides / tutorials it worked for me on a second try. Give it a try. You really need to follow the instructions in the guides. Thats it.

Hi,
Have you used DC-Unlocker tool or DC-Phoenix? (Not shure about differences)
Here is what Dc-unlocker support told to me: (My info: P10 Vtr-L09. 8.0.0.381 (C432).)
"We do not have bootloader unlock service at all. Chances to read bootloader unlock code from your mobile version on our tool is very low as well."
So I'm noy sure to try...

It is really sad that there is no central point for finding the information about unlocking the boatloader for P10 phones.
I used LOS, CM, AOSP, CAF and cousins for more than 5 years on at least 6-7 devices and now feel completely helpless to be able to use OpenKirin. On XDA P10/P10+ forums lots of posts are outdated as they are pre Oreo updates and on OpenKirin chat it is a no-no question.
Just not sure how the development is supposed to stay alive longer for these beautiful phones...

You should be able to use DCUnlocker, but you may need to downgrade first (my guess is to a firmware version before July 2018). Downgrading can be done with the dload method, but it works only with specific firmware versions, check: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78558134&postcount=41
A new unlock method is also available via the Big Huawei Exploits telegram group. This is free but a bit complicated.

Look for @huaweihax on Telegram.

Guys,
You don´t need a downgrade, at all !!!
You just need to download DC-Unlocker. Read the Links of the guides in the first posts. Thats it . Don´t waste time downgrading VTR-L09 to Nougat. Just start unlock with OREO. And whats the Problem here ? 4,- eurs ?? C´mon. Buying a "Kebap" for 4,-eurs or geting Bootloader-Codes for 4,-eurs. Think about. I also mentioned whats really important & all posts before explained everything. Nothing more to say. I also had an email conversation with the support team from DC-Unlocker. They told me the same....but i think the guy for the support don´t know everything (because he is not the dev, of course). So in the end its your descition. I can confirm that i read out Bootloader Code on 2x Huawei P10 : C02 & C432 Phones with both Oreo OS on it with DC-Unlocker !!! ... Nevertheless i wish you success & braveness.
(Please...nobody can destroy his phone. Why this panic ? It is a "read out" not "writing". Just reading out a Code for a Bootloader. You can get panic when you are "writing" f.e. new recovery.img / new OS, and so on. This can destroy your phone if you do something wrong. I allready get into Bootloop, no boot into OS etc. Than i got into panic. But this is a different story)

Hi there, i can confirm similar to sledgehammer, the DC Unlocker worked for my P10plus already with OREO, i was able to read the bootloader code. The latest DC Unlocker version shows detailed the procedure to correctly read this code. You simply have to follow these instructions. the 4 EUR was it worth.

@Sledgeham @dc_01 What was the security patch of the oreo versions you unlocked with DCUnlocker? Were they before July 2018?

No patches, just used software that was on the phone (i bought 2nd hand). These 2x Huawei p10 phones were "vanilla". No Bootloader unlock, no ROOT etc. Just as it is. First phone was: VTR-L09 8.0.0.382 (C02) and i MANUALLY UPDATED this to VTR-L09 8.0.0.389 (C02) (after Bootloader unlock, with TWRP). Second phone was: VTR-L09 8.0.0.376 (C432) and i MANUALLY UPDATED this to VTR-L09 8.0.0.379 (C432) (after Bootloader unlock, with TWRP).
I think security patch was written something with 01.01.2019 and the other was something dec. 2018. But i didn´t pay much attention onto this dates. I think the exact dates you can get from the ROM vers. which was provided on a specific date, if its important for you. In my opinion get "Bootloader Code" with Dc-unlocker from OREO shouldn´t be that hard. For me it was much more work to find out which version i can update manually (C02 and C432).

Thanks for your answer. I am trying to find out why some users report that DCUnlocker works and others that it doesn't. In July Huawei patched a vulnerability that allowed retrieving bootloader codes, so I thought this may be the key. But apparently it's not!

hi there, i did the bootloader task in November 2018, at this time, the phone had applied the latest firmware. So it should be beyond July 2018. I suggest, give it a try. The worst that can happen: you may lose 4€. For me it worked with a second try, because i did not follow the instructions correctly. So you need to set USB to manufacturer mode ( see DC homepage ) to allow DC app to recognize your phone. When following correctly, the thing is done within seconds.

After unlocking the bootloader, can I still roll back to stock and receive official OTA updates from Nokia?

Generally there is a check and ota updates aren't allowed for unlocked bootloader. You should be able to download the update and sideload it.

So just to confirm, if i root my N7+, i lose my warranty and even if i revert back to stock and relock the bootloader then i still won't receive OTA updates and my warranty will still be gone?

I was able to update OTA just fine with bootloader unlocked using stock recovery. The check might be of you root, but I'm not sure.

This questions should be adequately asnswered by official support.
The warranty agreement states that it doesn't cover damage caused by modified software. In real terms that means bricking your phone, in actuality it depends on what they categorise as such.

The unofficial unlocks aren't registered to Nokia and they probably have no way to check that it was unlocked. So, lock the bootloader and you should be good for warranty.

Is there really no possible way to unlock the bootloader without paying?
I'm not willing to pay for something that might not work...
Edit: even worse. I would have to pay 7$ (but out of stock, wtf?) to have someone I don't know remotely take over my computer.

There's currently no way you can unlock without paying. There are 2 options though. If you have a Nokia Care around you, you can convince them to flash an older version of software (before August 2018). Then you can simply buy the unlock key and use it.
Else the remote is the only option. I can offer those too (but for $8). I have some good reviews from people if that helps. I know it's still dealing with strangers and for your safety and security, you can run Windows inside a virtual machine (Virtual Box and VmWare do good). And that ensures that the remote person will only have access to the guest Windows which won't expose your host files in any way. You can destroy the guest install after that [emoji106]

its all out of stock... -.-

I want to refresh my phone but I have yet to unlock the bootloader. Ive a few questions if anybody can advise please
If I want to unlock the bootloader and root the phone, I'll obviously have to wipe the phone during the process and lose data etc. I downloaded Swift Back up - which backs up to G Drive. Would it be possible to restore some/if not all data after I put say Lineage OS on my phone?
Or does anybody have any suggestions to back up my stuff before I go through the process to root. I suppose one way would be to manually drag/drop anything across while connected in Windows.
Any thoughts please?

Bootloader must be unloaded!!!

Nokia 7 plus - root and unlock
Hi guys, I need to root and unlock bootloader of a NOKIA 7 plus.
Could you please help me?
Thanks,

will we ever get a Nokia 8 custom ROM?

The official bootloader unlock method has been out for a while. Its almost 2 years since the phone has been released. I was hoping by now maybe some developer would have picked this phone up and put it to use. Is there a reason why nobody has bothered to start development on this phone and build a custom ROM? I think this phone has great potential given its specs and price. It would be nice to so further customizations beyond those allowed by rooting the phone.
I could do it too if I had any amount of knowledge about Android development, but sadly im a noobie.
What are your thoights?

It's not possible I guess. And Nokia has locked down. Unlocking bootloader. I have Nokia official app and it says Device not support.

No, Nokia hasnt locked it down. The bootloader unlock method only works up to the November Oreo security update. Just downgrade to Oreo November security update then unlock the bootloader, and then upgrade back to Pie.
See this thread for instructions https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/development/unofficial-official-nokia-8-bootloader-t3898418

First, keep your code (on several places, even printed on the paper), it is good for relocking/unlocking (you never know, some actions may lock the Bootloader back) for the lifetime of your phone.
You don't want to go buying the same thing again
Assuming you know how to enable OEM Unlock in Developer's menu and you are a little familiar with Fastboot, it is simple to unlock the Bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock <your code>
If not familiar, and if not clear as below, search on Google how to:
- enable Developer menu by clicking 7 times to the build number in Settings/About
- enable OEM unlock in Developer menu
- install "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" to Windoze (smallest, self containing package with everything for ADB and Fastboot)
- reboot to Fastboot: keep pressing Vol-, then Pow button
Unlocking Bootloader triggers hard-reset, wiping also Internal memory. Backup as much as you can - use Google account, HiSuite, WA own chat backup, copy DCIM to PC, Contacts can be exported to vcard file, etc
Rebranding to AL10c00, upgrading to b540 Oreo, applying the neccesary Network patch to make SiM card(s) working - all is in deep details explained in the OP posts:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
Read two times before you start, and keep the instructions opened on the PC while doing - wrong moves can cause (soft) bricks

Thank you, Brother, I have done all procedure and my device is now at Oreo, Build EVA-AL10 8.0.0.540(C00).
After doing all the required steps I have flashed Huawei's Official Recovery and enabled OTA, after that I have received an OTA update of 3 MB, Should I install the update or not?

It is safe, just some Patch02 (never found exactly what for).
If you don't mind, you can skip (you can disable OTA - see in OP)
If you go for, you must first flash back the stock Recovery, hence not having TWRP. Not sure anymore, maybe also stock Ramdisk, hence not Magisk
Patch02 will not affect Network Patch or Face Unlock (cool add-on, see OP)
If you didn't apply Network patch yet, etc - then accept Patch02 and continue with OP instructions.
If you already rooted by Magisk, then don't bother with Patch02, too much trouble preparing clean sheet for OTA and rooting again

Nope, VoLTE does not work.
Everything else, like location sharing and Ok Google are fixed with Network patch, but not VoLTE.
The guy who did the whole majestic work went tired (although he believed he was close to fix VoLTE) and gave up. Later he upgraded to newer Huawei devices with Pie, etc, and eventually moved away from XDA

It's not possible to remove the warning on booting "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" (IMO, it must have been commented somewhere in the OP) - that's price for the unlocked Bootloader.
But you must not relock Bootloader - it would trigger Hard reset, removing Network patch (even worse, it could also cause soft brick if TWRP or Magisk are installed)

15 credits for unlock in fastboot mode (not pay over sms)
