Learn to Remove Retail Mode of Huawei Mate 20 Lite

Can’t you figure out how to remove Retail Mode on your Huawei Mate 20 Lite? Do not panic! Since you are here, half of your job is already done – as I use to say. I remember one of our readers asking: can anyone help me? It would be great to remove that horrible network-software that comes pre-installed on my device procured on a contract with a specific mobile phone company.

And it seems that you want the same thing for your Huawei Mate 20 Lite. Removing the Retail Mode which is also known as debranding by some users could ease your mind. Maybe you have recently got the handset through a contract. It was indeed a good deal, I know it, but you see the result now. The Android hansdet that you should love is now branded and you really can’t get used to the idea.

You can though get the freedom that you are after, but take care of a few things before starting:

  • You must properly charge your device up;
  • Also ensure that you’ve enabled USB Debugging on your device.
  • You must unlock the bootloader of the Huawei Mate 20 Lite;
  • Your Huawei smartphone must also be rooted with Magisk, or else you cannot continue;
  • Install ADB fastboot on your system.
