As you know huawei removed the unlock website so you cannot get the code unless you pay dc unlocker or get the code via Huawei's email.

Recently i have buy a refurbish P9 Plus (VIE-L29) and i know huawei have not supply the unlock code anymore.
I have try to email but no luck for me.
Do guys know how to unlock the phone right now? I need to gain the root access for my tasker's task.
DC unlocker ?
dc unlocker
Hey, for a reasons I needed to do ota update (reflashed stock recovery[extracted from matching update] before doing so), now when im trying to reinstall TWRP i've noticed that my bootloader re-locked on its own.
Was this supposed to happen? iirc people keep telling you that you can't relock bootloader without it's backup from locked state.
It's quite annoying that it happen since I did pay for unlock via DC unlocker and now huawei stopped distributing unlock codes so I'll probably need to pay DC again.
Cheers!
edit: DC unlocker did not even allow me to Unlock bootloader, only thing i saw was Lock bootloader, but there was option to "Read bootloader code" (no credits needed) and I managed to unlock bootloader again using fastboot and this code

This is a flag in OTA update, it may be present or not (now seems to be always enforced, new Huawei policy) that OTA locks Bootloader
You cannot disable this flag in OTA package
Bootloader is not relocked but really locked (better for those who go to service under warranty)
Bootloader code is unique for your device.
No matter did you obtain it from Huawei or DC, you have TO KEEP it, you don't need to pay, read or ask again, just use the same bootloader code for the same phone for the lifetime of your phone

thanks for the answer, didnt know about flag nor that bootloader unlock code can be used multiple times(and that its paired with HW)
nevertheless, as I said in my edit I managed to get my unlock code for free with dc unlocker

that's what I suspect, but sadly can't confirm or deny. I think I didn't even see the code itself when I used it for the first time due to the fact that unlock process was automatized within DC unlocker's client app, so all I had to do was to prepare the phone and press Unlock Bootloader within the client

I used DC client once (4 Euros), I obtained the code (saved it for future) and used in Fastboot to unlock Bootloader just like previously for the other Huawei phone whose code I obtained for free from Huawei (before they closed this service)
Seems like nokia is letting late users (like me) to unlock bootloader anymore. As the unlock bootloader site does not go through and mail you the key once you clicked that you are sure to unlock your phone on their website to receive the unlock key to your email. And if you mail them, they would tell you that unlocking of bootloader is for developers only. :crying:
