Hello XDA-Community,
I just restored my device to stock (XT1068), including that I locked the bootloader with help from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657
Now I want to unlock the bootloader again, plus rooting the phone.
But when I go on the Motorola-Website, it says.. "Device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
Is it because I want to use the same code twice to unlock?
How can I solve this to unlock my phone again? Is there any way, after locking it, to unlock it again?
Thanks for any help.
Greetings
PS: I need root to downclock my device for battery saving purposes and Greenify.

Maybe a typo? Anyway, you can reuse the code you received the first time you unlocked the phone. It is unique and does not change.
Oh my.
I guess you were right. It was a typo. I was able to use the same code given from the CMD to unlock my device a second time. Thank you very much.
Just asking
Is there would be a manual method for unlocking bootloader ? Just like unlocking Redmi Note 3

You have to take permission from Xiaomi first. They'll send you a message if you are given permission. They sent me the message after 3 days. Varies for everyone.

Since you said like that meaning there's no way to unlock the phone manual at the moment..
Alright , need to wait then. This is sucks.

Just tap on e-mail us and ask for the unlock code, they will send you a e-mail asking some info about your phone.
Than you get the code by e-mail at least that 's how i got mine.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info.
We need to turn on "Enable OEM unlock" in the developer options before unlock the bootloader, correct?
After that both the FRP and bootloader will be unlocked?

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..
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader immediately WITHOUT waiting for a week? It says I can unlock after 168 hours. That's very annoying.

Does it relate to the registration date of xiaomi account? Or every xiaomi account linked to a new phone must require several days of waiting before unlocking the bootloader?

I think it's more to do with the amount of unlocks carried out, your 1st unlock is 7 days, but then if you lock bootloader and want to unlock again then it will be more than 7 days
