This is a quick simple guide on how to unlock the phone bootloader

Make sure you had register a Huawei ID first. You can do it from the phone or at its website at : https://uniportal.huawei.com/accounts/regis...Register&nls=en
For phone number - just put in any 8 digit fictitious number ( I use 12345678)

After ONLY 14 days than go to :

Log in your HW ID and go to this site :
http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hw...ad&mod=list#_=_

Choose unlock bootloader tab at top right
You will than be guided how to get your unlock code
For Product ID, use dialpad and dial *#*#1357946#*#*
You will get a 8 digit Product ID

Follow the steps thereafter and you will get a 16 digit number UNLOCK CODE

Switch off phone
On PC, go to folder where you had install the SDK/Fastboot commands : browse to the folder android-sdk-windows/platform-tools : on notebook press shift and right bottom of touchpad and select Open command window here
You will go straight to ms dos mode directly to the folder

Switch off phone. Connect it to PC. Press vol down n power simultaneously and phone will boot to Fastboot/Bootloader  mode
Type in following commands :

fastboot devices ( you will see phone detected with a series of numbers)
fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ( xx...xxx is your 16 digit unlock code)

Reboot phone and your phone will be 100% wipe clean and bootloader is unlock
Be WARNED you will see an annoying message about bootloader being unlock and phone is now unsecure before the actual HW boot splash screen. This warning message I noted crops out only on Marshmallow phones ( Nexus 6P too) and never in Jellybean or Lollipop firmware

Download the slim version of Android SDK here :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9a0ULZKQL...DNtS3gzMFk/view

More info here on how to install TWRP and root your phone if needed :

http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/gen...nstall-t3301371

If you wish to remove the annoying warning message :
MUST Factory reset phone first
Boot phone into fastboot/bootloader mode

Type :
fastboot devices
fastboot oem relock xxxxx..xxxx (xx.xxx is your unlock code)

Is essentially the same on all android phones
I had rooted before many Samsung, Sony, HTC, LG, Nexus etc
What you read can easily be applicable on all android
phones
I root mainly to:
Install anti adware, full backup of app n its data, tweak phone to have better battery life, full backup of phone n easy restore, install xposed mod n custom rom flash when available
You can check XDA to read some specific stuffs applicable to Mate8 only

Flashing firmware from other regions ... even when it's the same model , eg Europe L29 vs msia L29 , u cant cross flash firmware with bootloader locked . With bootloader unlocked , u can mod the data inside so u can flash your phone both ways . Also , advantage for China version where they can actually convert to global rom with Google Apps installed . It's more than just to root the phone actually .
