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,

So there is currently no way to unlock the Honor 9 lite, right?

Not true !
https://hcu-client.com/supported-models.php
HCU will read the bootloader code easily (at a price) :-

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..
Sorry if this is a repeat.
Has the opportunity for bootloader unlocker codes well and truly passed?
Is there anyway around this?
You can use paid services like Funkyhuawei or Ministry of Solutions.
I used Ministry of Solutions and the price is cheaper.
But it is not normal to pay to unlock bootloader, the key only Huawey can give it so these paid sites in my opinion is money going to Huawey.
I'll never pay anyone to unlock it, on principle not for money. For me it's a robbery that only Huawey can doI'll never pay anyone to unlock it, on principle not for money. For me it is a robbery that only Huawey can do.
Thanks for the link, how does paying for it work and how much roughly is it?
I've been in touch with ministry of services, they can no longer offer bootloader unlocks for the honor play, they've been caught so can't get them anymore, looks like I'll be returning the phone and getting a Nokia 7.1 instead at this rate!

Paid €30 (35$+) to Ministry of Solutions. After payment, you'll need to send your IMEI number and serial number. Then you wait for the bootloader code. That's all.

Damn, that's harsh from Huawei.
Guess I was lucky. Seems this will be my last Huawei device.
Payd 24€ by DC unlocker. Bootloader code by emai calculating without serial. Works great my wait time was 3 hours.
Use dcunlocker from playstore

Just tried funky huewei, they took my money but didn't even take an email for me, so pretty sure it's a scam, I've opened a case with PayPal... I guess my last chance is to use dcunlocker but on Google play some others are saying it's a scam too. Huewei have forced money into the hands of scam artists, bravo...

It takes €4.99 for the inscription and €24 for the key? I have the Beta Emui 9
Does anyone know how the unlock codes are generated on their side?
No the option 4.99 doesn't work...
Code by emai for 24€ is the option that works. After many hours comes an email with your unlock code and in the DC app is shown your unlock code. After payment...

The key is valid although currently on the Honor there is the Emui 9 Beta or this request is only valid for those who have Honor with Android 8?Excuse the questions, I would not make mistakes and lose money Excuse the questions, I would not make mistakes and lose money
Have you already done root with TWRP and magisk?
The code is for the bootloader. Not for the OS.
Bootloader code has nothing to do with the os.
Android 8 or 9 both works. The code only open the bootloader.... Sorry my. English is not so good.
And yes I has installed twrp. Magisk actually don't work for me

First of all thanks for the answers
The payment can also be made with PayPal? Now that you have the root you can also use the ROM Firmware Finder, flashable by TWRP, right?
Exact. Befor I u locked my bootloader I was on oreo.
After unlock, I install twrp. Boot to oreo start Huawei firmware finder. Load pie beta and installed it via hurupdater

I couldn't say for definite, but you probably could unlock it by entering EDL mode via the test point method. But it will need an authorised account to do it. There's a Russian guy, whose contact details you'll find in these forums, that will do it remotely, or you can try s-unlock, either option will cost about the same.
Sounds like the only other option would be a service centre.
i will give it a try.btw who is that guy.i cant find him.Pm pls

Google for DC Unlock, it will cost you 4-5 Euros. No troubles
If you want for free (and you don't mind physically opening the phone) google for potatoNV
