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=enFor 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
