Hey, so my Moto G got an unlocked bootloader, but I'm selling it to get the Moto G 2015 (or any phone good as it). Is there a way to relock the bootloader, so I can handle it to the new owner good as stock?
In terminal type 'fastboot oem lock'. It's relocked then, not locked, that means the warranty is still gone but the functionality is the same as from a locked bootloader.

Will try it later, thanks! If the new owner wants to unlock it, he just should do the normal unlocking procedure?

Long time ago i saw a thread that a user was telling that he wasn't able to unlock the bootloader when he has using certain ftf files. It is pretty strange actually.
Try to downgrade your phone, maybe installing kk and try again mate.
Maybe this will help if you already don't know it. Take a look here. Way old that thread but maybe still guilty.

Post #2 says you have to be on stock kernel to relock your bootloader.

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 !

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..
I cant unlock frp as It is grayed out the option of oem unlocking in the dev options
pls I need help
Model : LLD-L21
OS : KangVIP Rom (EMUI 8.0.0)
Bootloader Status : Unlocked
In fastboot it says
Phone Unlocked
FRP Locked
did u try dload method?
yes I tried dload
It did not work
I can't upload zipI will send u the file to unlock frp or you can find that file in telegram group of our device
That wont work...
Go to terminal in root mode and do
Code:
Setprop sys.oem_unlock_allowed 1
Than you can change the value and its not longer greyed out.

If that dosent work you can also follow the below procedure.
Relock your bootloader. Your phone will factory reset and boot. Then head to developer options and you will see oem unlock is not greyed out. Then just enable oem unlocking and unlock the bootloader. When you boot up again you will see that oem is greyed out but it'll be enabled. So you'll have unlocked fastboot and unlocked frp now.

I haven't gone that far. I've unlocked and then relocked.
Everything fine. I believe it's completely safe if you have complete stock firmware installed ie, stock rom, stock recovery, stock Kernal and all that stuff. Otherwise you'll end up in a loop. Guess I forgot that part sorry.
So I know this is someone else's thread but can you tell me if I relocked bootloader will the service center be able to know I'd unlocked before? I don't have the phone unlocked warning at boot. Just curious.

Some if not all bootloaders nowadays are not "locked" by the manufacturer using a code but are usually "locked" by employing a digital signature and/or a CID (carrier Id) hard coded into the OS. When we "unlock" a bootloader with a code we are simply using a routine written into the loader by the manufacturer to now ignore signatures and/or CIDs of the OS and this allows us to flash whatever we wish.
Sometimes upon unlocking using a code the DS/CID is erased/altered and cannot be retrieved, so not a good idea to relock an altered bootloader.
At least, that is my understanding of it.

That's too bad. Means we won't get back our waranty if we relock it ?. So thanks for the heads up . I'll be careful while unlocking it again (if ever).?

Anyways thanks for your replies. Means a lot ?
I did a lot of research, and the only way to unlock the BootLoader for free is to use PotatoNV software. Just wanted to let you guys know, so that you dont waste your time.
Tested and it worked on P9 Lite and P20 Lite.
If you need a guide, i can make one.

Yes ! Its work on P9 Lite VNS-L21.
after use potatonv & unlock bootloader I get error " FAILED (remote: image verification error)" during installation TWRP in fastboot mode.
for fix this error , I unlock bootloader again with new bootloader code in fastboot.
type below command in fastboot :
fastboot oem unlock **************** (instead of * , type new bootloader code)
I WASTED MY time for that.Potatonv s****s because why need disassembly for that
