Bootloader unlock? - Huawei MediaPad M5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O

Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock the bootloader of M5 (SHT-W09) using this method (
).
I was about to sell my tab until I came across this video. Since SHT-W09 runs on Kirin 960 may be there's some hope. It will be good to know if anyone has any additional insights?

Yeah it is possible. It is showed on the official page of PotatoNV (https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV).
I know it is CMR but it is also compatible with SHT because it is using the same SoC.
Also you can use this method: https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-html
It is paid but you don't risk to breake something inside your tablet.
I used this method and it worked perfectly well. It costs 15$ but it is worth it.

Thank you for responding, I was able to get it unlocked using the service. I am glad I didn't have to open the tablet.

I will also give it a try.... I was hoping it's easier ...

Did it work for you as well?
So they will unlock my device via TeamViewer? Does it really need two hours of work?

1. Yes once you unlock your bootloader.
2. No psp games don't work on any smart phone currently. But you can emulate anything n64/ps1 and lower.
3.If you make your own theme you can do anything you want. If you want to know what's currently available go look in the sub forum.

I thought I couldn't unlock my bootloader because I have a MEID on my phone not a IMEI.

Oh I didn't know you were on a 800x my bad. You can still unlock the bootloader to access Fastboot but obviously it's locked to VZ. As far as ROM/themes there are a few to choose from after you unlock the bootloader. I think v3 of dooms kernel may work for you but you'll need to wait for a more educated 800x person to answer or just read in the dev section for yourself it's all over. Good luck

you can unlock the bootloader for the r800x.... but you have to have someone with the right hardware help you... and it costs money.
if you're up for it i would recommend Alejandrissimo. he did it for me last night... it was 24 dollars but it works like a dream. i flashed doom kernel v3 and i'm using stock 2.3.3 and it's running wonderfully. overclocked to 1.6 ghz with no problems whatsoever.
24 seems a little steep, I mean I can understand paying them, but idk how to price something that involves connecting your pc to a stranger.
Connect a virtual machine if you want. It works too ^^
Yea but I feel like yhats more work.
Ill probably ask someone on here.

He doesn't actually make money doing it. The $24 goes to buy "tokens" on a 3rd party website that gives the unlock code to him, then he remotely accesses your phone/computer and does it all for you. He also uses a special cable remotly to unlock your bootloader. But yea basically he donates his time to help people do it and only charges the $24 to cover his cost to get the code. It's really easy and he's cool as hell I really recommend it.
yeah i am going to do this once i can afford to pay the guy to unlock for me.. it should be worth it..
Ah. Didn't know there eas a 3rd party website. Thx for the info everybody I gona go make a paypal

Help!

My son managed to wipe everything on my T700 and it won't boot. I need the stock firmware but every site that has the firmware available is going to take 10 hours to download from. Can someone please help me get the stock firmware without having to wait 10+ hours!?
I'll need the US version.

Hello. Google Samsung updates and search for the firmware you need. Cellular south is U.S.A on the website. Then download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57842725
And fill out the info from the website. Then you should have it downloaded under an hour

And keep your kid away from your tab!
That worked and my tablet is back. The little bugger is determined to get his hands on any electronics. He knows how to unlock any tablet that we put in front of him AND HE IS ONLY 15 MONTHS OLD!

Precocious little bugger! Think about getting him a "kid's tab". Much more rugged and might help keep his mitts off yours?
Yea, I've been thinking of getting him one for awhile. Just haven't had enough disposable income yet. Trying to move and whatnot. It also may not work. He's already got his own PS3 controller (it doesn't work) and yet he still insists on playing with mine, but only when I'm using it. He's definitely techy though, like myself.

The next generation(s) will be exposed to things we can't imagine. An idea. You might keep an eye on Swappa. All sorts of devices from users at some relatively good prices. Have bought some items there before. No issues.

Do you know if fastboot is accessible on the deluxe? Or even the bootloader is unlockable?
+1 to hoping for a root method soon, 256gb model here. Suhweeeet ass device that would be even sweeter w/ root!
Also waiting on rooting of Deluxe.
From Taiwan's forum, it seems
1. FASTBOOT is accessible but a lot of commands are removed or not available. FASTBOOT OEM commands status are not clear.
2. Official bootloader unlocked is not available as of now. No news on when will be available.
3. No unofficial bootloader unlock way is available now as yet. Hopefully someone is working on this.
Any one taken on this challenge?

I asked a relative in Taiwan to go buy one and send it to me. It was the only way I could get one for the ACTUAL RETAIL PRICE w/o any sort of BS markup.
...Well ok, about $50 worth of booze to said relative... But that's a markup I can accept at least

LOL and what was the actual price you ended up paying, bud? Will it work in the US? All bands LTE? Warranty?
Paid retail + $50 AUD. I can't answer the other question as I'm in Australia
For the SD 820 version, 6G/64G version, we in Taiwan can get it without any contract, sim unlocked at NTD17990, roughly equal to USD 573.
I bought the 256/6G version for $860 including shipping.
Here are some more detailed information about rooting this device... However, this is not root... yet.

Anyone?
Can we return to topic? I'd really want to root this baby
Anyone can say with sincerity and open mind how is the camera comparing to the LG G5 or Galaxy S7?
I have the snapdragon 821, 6th ram, 256th storage variant. I paid 1213.38 CAD including shipping on eBay and got the device express shipped through FedEx straight from taiwan.
+1
I wanna root this!
Now I know its a lovely device but you got to woo it 1st....
So saying I can't wait myself...
SERIOUSLY WANT TO ROOT THIS DEVICE! Just got mine in the mail today. $900 Canadian. Although I might have paid the extra 300 for the 256 had I found it on Ebay for the same price. Still am extremely happy with this device. Please comment on my CyanogenMod post/poll. Let's get the ball rolling for this product.

The trouble is that the devs who might find the exploits and things for our device have other more mainstream devices...
Luckily we have the SD CPU's this time that are dev friendly instead of the Intel ones but we really have no-one, exclusively, working on our phone if they don't own one...
Just pre-order ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe Special Edition ZS570KL (821/6gb RAM/256gb HD) from ASUS directly. Currently have the Zenfone 2, rooted CM13 and loving it... Need to unlock bootloader & root asap and can wait for official CM14. Any help / guide.

No way to root or unlock bootloader as of yet,,,

Question Anyone here bought the G40?

Greetings,
I'm interested in buying this phone mostly because it seems to have a good camera on paper for my <20k INR budget and the UI is a personal favourite of mine, just below the OxygenOS.
I would love to hear your experience with the camera, if it supports the GCam mod properly, and does the chunky design of the phone really make you reconsider buying it?
I would also love to know if you've tried anything to make the hdr10 work outside the YouTube app.
Thank you
I intend to get one if its easy to root the phone. Is it possible?

Yeah, from what I gathered online, all moto phones have a very similar and simple way to root them.
I remember having to write a letter to Xiaomi on why I wanted to root my phone and wait a week just to have the ability to unlock the bootloader of my Redmi note 4 lol. Moto's method is definitely way easier than that.

would system be read/write though? I've been out of the loop for a while, is there any fix for it yet?
if you're purchasing now, then there's no ROMs, TWRP, or anything.. but u can easily unlock bootloader and use ADB coz its Stock Android.. so if you want custom ROMs.. now you can just wait.. (if any ROM developer sees this.. if u own a Moto G40F.. pls make ROMs for this device.. thanks)
Does this device have NFC? The information all over the internet is contradicting. Please confirm

Question Who plans on rooting their Z Fold 4?

So as someone who wanted a fold 3 at launch and didn't buy it because of that whole disabled cameras thing (i know they have since changed the policy on that phone). I am hoping I can buy this one as a US model and be able to root.
But it got me wondering, for such a tech savvy phone, how many people root folds? And how important is it to you?
I'll root it — hopefully there ain't gonna be any stupid Samsung tricks again like Fold 3 — blocking the camera and so…
I'm supposed to get it tomorrow — there should be OEM unlock as a standard on the Euro version, I've already rooted the firmware, rooted through Magisk and will flash it once I get the phone.
Hopefully - no stupid Samsung surprises!
I will definitely root it.

On my fold4 from vodafone Germany, the option is off.
Yeah — that's OK, but it's there - it must be in Europe. Then you toggle it on, reboot to Download mode and it'll give you an option there to confirm bootloader unlock. In fact - could you do it?
Just toggle it on, reboot to Download - select fully unlock bootloader - and if there's the tricks from Samsung it'll say “Your camera is going to be disabled - please confirm…” You don't have to do it if you then don't want to , and nothitg'll happen - it'll just reboot.
At least you'd give me a piece of mind for one night - if it's there or not… :O)
Do you think the unlocked US version will be possible to root?
Achso, I understood your post that the option is on by default, not whether it is available.

Usually not. Only Europe.
USA Snapdragon Samsung phones haven't been rootable in a while.
Don't expect this to change unfortunately.

Was hoping since with no exynos version they'd all be the same. I guess not.
Time to message a friend to see if I can use their address for pre-ordering and have them ship it to me.
When I first got the Fold 2, there was a "service" that would supposedly be able to unlock the snapdragon bootloader so it could be rooted. I actually paid for it but decided not to do it. I am not sure if they are still "in business".
None of the banking apps I used worked on rooted phones.
And I would wonder if Sammy would disable the camera on unlocked bootloader again!
So I just did the oem/bootloader unlock. The cameras against still.
No, it's pointless.
No real need to root phones any more, most the stuff worth rooting for is doable without it nowadays

Do you have 2 physical SIM + eSIM?
Does Samsung Health work (after rooting)?
Only 1 physical sim.
I haven't rooted it yet, just unlocked the bootloader.
