How to unlock Huawei Bootloader
Surely most of you have heard about the bootloader on Huawei, especially when you have tried to root your device or install a custom ROM. For all these cases the first step is to unlock the bootloader to be able to install new software that does not come from the manufacturer. Here we will explain what the bootloader is and what it is used for.
ootloader is the name for the device bootloader. It is the first program that runs on the processor when you turn on an Android smartphone. It is responsible for loading the Linux Kernel and the Android operating system. The bootloader is a fundamental part of every machine running an operating system whether it is a smartphone or a computer.
How does the huawei Bootloader work?
The bootloader is a program developed by the manufacturer of the device itself to work with its specific hardware. When you turn on the smartphone the bootloader performs some tests to check in which parts of the memory is the kernel or recovery to load one of these parts.
If you press the power button the bootloader understands that you want to load the operating system and therefore chooses the kernel to boot. If on the other hand you press the key combination for enter recovery (reboot bootloader, restart bootloader)The bootloader will choose to load the part of the memory where the recovery is stored.
By default the bootloader is locked, this means that you can only boot a partition that has the manufacturer's or carrier's digital signature, either the original operating system or the manufacturer's recovery.
To be able to install another operating system or another custom recovery we must be able to load a part of the memory that is not signed by the manufacturer, which implies unlocking the bootloader or even replacing it and in most cases this voids the manufacturer's warranty.
This is where the problems begin...
Why do manufacturers lock the Bootloader?
The bootloader is locked to read only the Android system that the manufacturer installs. In other words, the bootloader is used as a locking system for non-official ROMs. Here the controversy is born, since the bootloader works as a kind of customs that the software has to pass to be able to be executed in our devices. This means that if we want to install an unofficial ROM, we will first have to unlock the famous bootloader, which is not always easy and involves the loss of warranty.
This is also the origin of the controversy over the losing your warranty when rooting the device. The problem lies in the bootloader since in the vast majority of cases of rooting the bootloader is modified.
Samsung also has a security system called knoxwhich incorporates in the bootloader a feature called KNOX Void Warranty, which counts the number of times you flash non-Samsung signature software, usually with Odin but it also recognizes flashes from the custom recovery.
Can the Bootloader be unlocked?
Yes, it is indeed possible Unlock Bootloader in most cases. Some manufacturers make it easy by providing tools to do so, or simply through the ADB and Fastbootbut in some cases it is necessary to break the security with a exploit. In any case, the process of unlocking the bootloader involves the loss of all the data on the device (it is important to make a backup copy before unlocking), loss of warranty and may jeopardize our terminals.
