Phase 1: Device Preparation
- Enable Developer Options:

- Tap Build Number seven times until the message "You are now a developer!" appears.
- Enable OEM Unlocking:
- Go to Settings > System > Developer Options.
- Toggle on OEM Unlocking.

- Charge battery to at least 70%.
- Enable Developer Options:

Settings > About phone > Version Number(tap 7 times).

Method A: The "Test Point" Method (Paid - $15–$30 USD)
This method involves shorting two pins on the motherboard to force the phone into a special processor mode (1.0 Download Mode). You then use a paid tool to flash an unlocked bootloader. Phase 1: Device Preparation
Recommended Paid Tools: HCU Client, DC-Unlocker, PotatoNV (for certain Kirin chips).
Step-by-Step:
- Purchase Credits: Go to DC-Unlocker or HCU Client website. Buy credits (~€4 for DC-Unlocker for Huawei).
- Downgrade your firmware (Critical for Y7 Pro 2019): The Y7 Pro 2019 shipped with Android 9 (EMUI 9). Modern security patches block exploits. You must downgrade to a very early firmware version (e.g., DUB-LX1 8.2.0.102). Use HiSuite Proxy or FHpro to flash an old firmware. This is complex; search YouTube for "Downgrade Huawei Y7 2019 using IDT".
- Open the Phone: Remove the SIM tray. Use a plastic spade to gently pop off the back cover (it is glued). Remove the plastic frame shielding the motherboard.
- Locate the Test Point: On the motherboard, near the SIM slot or processor, there are two tiny copper dots labeled "TP" or unlabeled. For the Y7 Pro 2019 (DUB-LX1), the test points are usually near the rear camera connector. Find a specific photo for your model – a wrong short can damage the phone.
- Short the Points:
- Connect the phone to your PC via USB.
- Use a tweezer or paperclip to short the two test points.
- While shorting, hold Volume Down and Power for 5 seconds.
- Your PC should detect the device as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0" (or similar). Release the short.
- Use the Paid Tool: Open HCU/DC-Unlocker. Select "Huawei Phones" > "Kirin 710" (your processor). Click "Unlock Bootloader". The tool will read the phone and flash the unlock.
- Result: The phone will reboot with the bootloader unlocked. You will see an orange warning screen at startup.
