Huawei P40 Pro+ Overview

The Huawei P40 Pro+ is an Android device from Huawei, released in 2020. It combines the Kirin 990 5G (7 nm+) and a 6.58-inch display, running Android 10. This page tracks its full specifications, root status, and the bootloader and recovery notes that apply to it.

Root the Huawei P40 Pro+

The Huawei P40 Pro+ is a 2020 Android device from Huawei. It runs the Kirin 990 5G (7 nm+), a Huawei Kirin platform, which lacks an official unlock path on recent firmware. Shipped software: Android 10, EMUI 10.1, no Google Play Services. Because Huawei does not currently provide a bootloader unlock for devices like this one, conventional Magisk root is not possible — contact us before assuming otherwise, as regional exceptions occasionally exist.

Difficulty

Restricted — official unlock unavailable

Typical time

N/A without an unlock path

Method

No conventional method — bootloader unlock unavailable

Bootloader unlock on Huawei

Huawei ended official bootloader unlocking years ago. On recent firmware there is no legitimate unlock path, which makes conventional root impossible for most units.

Platform notes

Kirin-based Huawei devices no longer have an official bootloader unlock path on recent firmware, which blocks conventional root entirely on most units.

Before you start

  • Bootloader unlocking factory-resets the device on almost all models — back up everything first.

FAQ

Can I root the Huawei P40 Pro+?

Not through any conventional method. Huawei ended official bootloader unlocking years ago. On recent firmware there is no legitimate unlock path, which makes conventional root impossible for most units. Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader, so without an official unlock path the Huawei P40 Pro+ cannot be rooted.

Will root the Huawei P40 Pro+ void my warranty?

Huawei will generally treat a rooted Huawei P40 Pro+ as outside warranty while it is modified. Restoring full stock firmware before a service visit usually restores normal treatment in practice, and consumer law in some regions (such as the EU) may still cover defects unrelated to root.

What Android version does the Huawei P40 Pro+ run?

It runs Android 10, EMUI 10.1, no Google Play Services. The specifications table on this page lists the full software details.
