unlock Huawei bootloader

Summary

After closing the official EMUI website, which allowed you to retrieve the code to unlock the bootloader of Huawei/Honor phones, here is a python script to retrieve it by yourself.

It uses a bruteforce method, based on the Luhn algorithm and the IMEI identifier used by the manufacturer to generate the unlocking code.

The original version was developed by SkyEmi. I made some tweaks for saving failed attempts to file, because brutforcing is taking a looooooong time. I'm trying to hack my P20 Pro with this. Because Huawei placed another obstacle in th way, as you have 5 attempts for inserting the unlook key, than your phone will restart automatically. So I have to reboot in fastboot mode every 4 attempts. This increases the amount of time while trying, but couldn't find a better solution.

Instructions

Connecting a device in ADB mode

1. Enable developer options in Android at your phone.

   • Go to Settings > System > About device > tap Build number seven times to enable developer options.

2. Enable USB debugging in Android.

   • Go to Settings > System > Developer options and enable USB debugging.

3. Connect your device to the computer

4. git clone https://github.com/haexhub/huaweiBootloaderHack.git
   cd huaweiBootloaderHack
   python3 unlock.py <IMEI>

5. Make a few cups of coffee or tea => sleep => repeat :D

FAQ & Troubleshooting

The application doesn't work. Is there anything I should have installed?

Yes, it was developed with python3 so you'll need it. You can install the latest version from here. You also need adb installed as well as fastboot
