Hi, I've trying to unlock the bootloader thrue the Huawei website.
I created an account, as requested, but I never received the confirmation email. I tried several times but I still didn't received.
Does anyone know how can I get the unlock bootloader code?
Cheers
Is it necessary to apply for unlock codes at huawei's website to unlock the bootloader if I can see / access / toggle "OEM UNLCOCK" in developer options? The phone ( Huawei P9 ) is my mother's and is planning on handing it down to me.

Better be quick. Huawei is shutting down the official bootloader unlock method. Go to https://emui.huawei.com/en/ and log in. For "old" models huawei gives you 60 days to get an unlock-code. After this time there's DCUnlocker to unlock.

OEM Unlock is just a prerequisite, with that you will have FRP unlocked but you still need unique code for your device to unlock Bootloader
Better be quick... See that other response
PS: You need to open that Huawei portal from PC or as Desktop site to have Bootloader unlock code options
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)
I can't unlock my bootloader... I just can't use the app cuz it crashes nor the site.. the button is greyed out and When I contacted the support they told me it's not available ??
is there any way to unlock the bootloader ?
Hi all,
My latest Nokia 9 Pureview got from eBay is unbock bootloader ready, so it cant get OTA update. So have any method to get it to re-lock for got OTA update?
Thanks for help and support
Wait... Is that possible to unlock Nokia 9 bootloader? I think that no way to unlock it in the first place.
Are you sure it's bootloader unlocked? Usually when eBay sellers say the device is unlocked, they mean it's not locked down to a specific carrier and can be used with any. Not sure about Nokia's policy on manually updating the device, but no tools exist that I know of for that.
I tried to unlock bootloader on Nokia 6.1 2018 and it works. Google it how to locked bootloader . You will get the procedure
Type this command in adb and fastboot
fastboot flashing lock
