I received the ota update and it runs fine. Problem being now that I have made the decision to unlock the bootloader I can't! I've got my number from Motorola, start going through the process, and when I am prompted to select the box under developers options to unlock oem functions the box (option) is not there anymore! It was there in kk but not in lollipop. Could someone please help me. I really want to unlock and root. Thanks

yep same problem here and I just got my moto x. if I can't figure it out I'm just gonna take it back
Yeah I really thought there would be more helpful input on this topic...
hi
anyone fix this>?
Hi everyone, After flashing various roms, kernels and recoveries etc... My frp now shows locked when in fastboot mode. As a result i cant hardly use adb+fastboot commands. OEM Unlock is not on in dev options and is greyed out. USB debugging is switched on and i can access the phone through hi-suite and file manager. My BootLoader is Unlocked. So how do i unlock frp??? i cant do factory reset because it only goes to eRecovery. Please can someone help???
Me again, i cant believe no one has come across the same problem.??!!?? is there a programi can use apart from dc-unlocker to change frp from locked to unlocked?? that is free?? please help..
RESULT! I FIXED IT BY MYSELF. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I DOWNLOADED DC-UNLOCKER AND PURCHASED THE CREDITS NEEDED. BUT I NEVER HAD TO USE IT. AFTER HAVING THOUGHT, RESEARCHED AND TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, I TRIED SOMETHING JUST ON THE OFF CHANCE!! IT ONLY BLOODY WORKED!!!
I'VE SEEN SO MANY POSTS ABOUT BLOADER UNLOCKED AND FRP LOCKED AND NOT ONCE HAVE I READ A SOLUTION! HECK, NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON REPLIED TO MY POST!
ANYWAY IF YOU TOO HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM SEND ME A PM AND I WILL REVEAL THE METHOD. BUT KNOW THIS SEEING AS LOADS OF PEOPLE PAY DC-UNLOCKER AND FUNKY HUAWEI ETC, I THINK IT ONLY FAIR THAT I WILL ASK FOR A SMALL CONTRIBUTION. NO PC/LAPTOP OR SOFTWARE NEEDED. HAVE A HAPPY DAY FELLOW HONOR FRIENDS
Hey all,
So I've heard that Huawei has stopped giving out unlock codes? I tried to go to their website to apply for it (giving my IMEI etc) and instead of giving me a code it just says 'please contact Huawei for questions'
I'm trying to set up project treble with it if I can figure it out.
Thanks!
You can with dc unlocker. You Just need to pay 5 euros and they Will unlock boatloader
I got my code on 08/06/2018
In the morning at 7:05 AM IST on 08/06/2018 i applied for my bootloader unlock code and i got it easily. BTW did you cross check other pre-selected options? Like 1st one asking EMUI version? Maybe that's the reason of you not getting unlock code.
Try again or Use the mailing method(I don't know much about but you have to mail the support to obtain the unlocking code and it might take upto 2-3 days)
Just got my code for bootloader unlock directly from Huawei no issues, although i will not be using straight away i have kept it in a safe place.

I tried through their portal, and via email. This was their response:
We do apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing, however, it is our duty to inform you that Huawei Canada does not provide codes to unlock the bootloader, root the device or provides any tool/code to modify the phone internally. We kindly inform you that this action can potentially "brick" the phone or in other words, renders the phone completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have no control over how unlocking the bootloader or rooting the phone, will affect your device.
We understand that you might be able to start the request to get the bootloader unlock code from our EMUI website, regrettably, your device does not qualify to receive this code, since the Huawei Canada warranty policy limits us to do not provide this code in order to prevent future inconveniences to our consumers.
This bootloader unlocks code, it is just limited to be available for certain specific regions.
We are aware that you can find unofficial information over the internet, about how to root or unlock your phone and due to our Security and Privacy Policies, we cannot provide you these codes or tools, for that reason, we cannot assist you in that matter.
We highly recommend you refrain from taking these actions on your device.

I read the instructions for unlock of Huawei mobile, it requires you erase the Huawei id.
How does that affect warranty?
Can you reapply the old id if necessary?

No, you can't. DC-Unlocker neither autodetects the phone nor is it in the manual selection list. Also https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones says no bootloader unlocking service for said phone.
On the other hand Huawei support gave me this reply (translated by me) :
Hello [censored],
sadly the bootloader unlock code service has been terminated completely. I'm really sorry but I can't help you.
Best wishes,

Not true !
https://hcu-client.com/supported-models.php
HCU will read the bootloader code easily (at a price) :-
https://hcu-client.com/
Read instructions carefully and follow them EXACTLY !
HCU is from the same stable as DC-Unlocker.

Thanks for this, it appears to be the only bootloader unlock method currently available. Have you actually done this yourself? Can you (or anyone else) confirm that it works?
By the "instructions", I assume you mean the tutorial at http://hcu-client.com/read-bootloader-code-huawei-phone/. They seem clear, but they don't tell you how to actually use the code to unlock the bootloader! Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that? Thank you.

Yep, I mean the tutorial.
I have used this method a good few times, all successfully .
Dc-Unlocker/HCU allows direct unlock on a lot of models and gives the unlock code on others.
To use this code, put phone in "fastboot" mode and issue the command :-
fastboot oem unlock code
Phone should factory re-set (erasing all user data) with an unlocked bootloader.

I can confirm. There's just one thing to note: Deinstall the adb drivers from Microsoft and use the ones shipped with HiSuite. Else there will be no virtual COM port and as a result the tool won't find the phone. [EDIT]And don't try to use the tool in a VM. Sadly it refuses to work there.[/EDIT]
Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that?

1) Enable Settings > Developer Options > Enable OEM Unlock
2) Enable Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
3) Turn off phone
4) Press volume down key while connecting the phone to USB to boot the phone into fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot oem unlock <unlocking code>" on the PC the phone is connected to (install adb and fastboot first)
P.S. Many thanks to @Sparkrite for pointing us in the right direction!

Great, thank you! It's reassuring to know it works reliably. And I'm glad the unlocking process itself is so simple; I remember now having used the same method on another phone some time ago.

Thank you so much. With this method I successfully unlocked the bootloader of my Huawei Honor 9 Lite. No problems, just one oddity – the HCU software warns you that reading the bootloader unlock code will wipe your phone, and you have to acknowledge that to continue. This, of course, is not the case: it is using the code to unlock the bootloader that causes the phone to do a low-level reset. Presumably a mistake in the wording.

I used HCU to read the bootloader unlock code before I saw your message, and so had not uninstalled the Microsoft ADB drivers. I had already installed HiSuite. It still worked for me, so presumably it is not necessary to uninstall the Microsoft ADB drivers unless HCU doesn't recognize the phone.

Any news?
Many thanks to those who contributed to this thread. I had no trouble unlocking the bootloader of my device using HCU after purchasing credit from DC-unlocker. At only 4 euros it was worth the money. The posted instructions were clear. Once HCU provided the code all I had to do was send it to the phone using fastboot..
[No message]
I've applied not very hopefully to get it mind [emoji57]

How to apply for bootloader unlock codes as link is dead
I TRIRED TO ROOT IT WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER BY ADB AND FASTBOOT BY BOOING INTO TWRP BUT IT DID`NT WORK
How you have flashed TWRP without unlocking bootloader.Is there any way to do that.
How do I get the unlock code now?
Recently Huawei have stopped providing bootloader unlock codes.But we can get them by using DC Unlocking tool but it costs very high.Is there any way to find our bootloader unlocking codes using ADB comands in Cmd? I am using Honor Play.
According to this person he should be receiving bootloader unlock.codes in December I have pm him many times and have been waiting for one however no luck
As the bootloader can be unlocked at service centre's in India and some have unlocked it earlier, what is taking so long for custom roms?
Thanks to devs in advance Maybe u want to surprise us on New year, right.

If you want you can try OpenKirin roms. They work good on our device, just search OpenKirin on google. Unfortunately the dev(s) who are willing to contribute to the development of this device couldn't get the unlock codes last time they were rolled out, so unless you want to buy them an unlock code or two, please be patient.
Honor india providing unlock codes through service centers. Its possible through some ownership documents of the device. Not available through online.
I heard someone from xda community is able to unlock bootloader of honor phones.
More info here - https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-honor-bootloader-unlock-potatonv/amp/
Is there still any way to unlock the bootloader for free by not going service center.
I've just got a refurbished p20 pro and am looking to put lineageos on it and leave google off
I've seen that EMUI 10 it's pretty much impossible to unlock the bootloader so I want to rollback to 9
it's been a long time since i've done anything like this so not sure where to look how to do it...
Thanks in advance!
You can rollback to 9.1 with hisuite but to unlock the bootloader you must have the code.
I already have my p20 pro unlocked and flashed lineageos, but I do not remember the unlock code...
If I roll back to 9.0 with hisuite, will it get locked again?
Has anyone used ministry of solutions for an unlock code? They apparently have more codes but want to remote onto my computer to do it... Not sure I want to let them.. . But the code is only $15....
