Hi, recently i went from fRomFuture rom to C900B136 PaulOBrien posted, my bootloader was unlocked but doing this relocked the bootloader and removed TWRP.
My question is: The code that u get from Huawei to unlock ur bootloader is unique? Or i have to get a new one to unlock my bootloader again?
If you read the notes of Huawei they said unlock code is unique for the device you request. You can use the same code in the same device the times you wants to.
Anyway if you complete the form the code it is always the same:

Managed to unlock again, thanks for ur help!
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 !

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..

I've applied not very hopefully to get it mind [emoji57]

How to apply for bootloader unlock codes as link is dead
I TRIRED TO ROOT IT WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER BY ADB AND FASTBOOT BY BOOING INTO TWRP BUT IT DID`NT WORK
How you have flashed TWRP without unlocking bootloader.Is there any way to do that.
How do I get the unlock code now?
Recently Huawei have stopped providing bootloader unlock codes.But we can get them by using DC Unlocking tool but it costs very high.Is there any way to find our bootloader unlocking codes using ADB comands in Cmd? I am using Honor Play.
According to this person he should be receiving bootloader unlock.codes in December I have pm him many times and have been waiting for one however no luck
As the bootloader can be unlocked at service centre's in India and some have unlocked it earlier, what is taking so long for custom roms?
Thanks to devs in advance Maybe u want to surprise us on New year, right.

If you want you can try OpenKirin roms. They work good on our device, just search OpenKirin on google. Unfortunately the dev(s) who are willing to contribute to the development of this device couldn't get the unlock codes last time they were rolled out, so unless you want to buy them an unlock code or two, please be patient.
Honor india providing unlock codes through service centers. Its possible through some ownership documents of the device. Not available through online.
I heard someone from xda community is able to unlock bootloader of honor phones.
More info here - https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-honor-bootloader-unlock-potatonv/amp/
Is there still any way to unlock the bootloader for free by not going service center.
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)
Hello, I wanted to install a custom rom + kernel on my girlfriend's Huawei because she is having battery issues. Coming from a Samsung device I thought that unlocking the bootloader would have been easy but oh my I was wrong. Now that Huawei's unlocking site is closed is there a way to get the bootloader code without buying DC-unlocker? I know it's cheap but I don't find it fair. Thank you

For rebranding one must flash oeminfo from the other cust
It can be done manually from TWRP (but to flash TWRP you must have unlocked Bootloader) or some tools (like SRK?) can execute for you, but hidden into the batch file
Anyway, to be able to flash things, Bootloader must be unlocked and for that you must have Bootloader code
So I'm really puzzled if/how that batch tool can circumvent unlocking the Bootliader - have you tried yourself, with the Bootloader locked and without its code?

It seems like that tool is able to extract the bootloader code (I don't know if you have to flash oeminfo, if so, it would be pretty useless). I'll certainly try it as soon as my girlfriend has time.

Please confirm here if the tool can 'extract' Bootloader code
Btw, I think I used SRK year and more ago, it just asks user to type in the Bootloader code (so you must know the code)
(Later on I learnt to use ADB and Fastboot and since then I rather have control in my hands than using batch tools...)
Only if that is now a new version of the tool that can 'exteact' the code by itself - but that will be a sensation, just take a look around, everywhere/everybody knows that people must pay mere 4 Euros to get Bootloader code but here you have a tool that can do it money and hassle free, and nobody being aware of

Just as was described to be in posts #3 and #5 above - there is no (free) magic tool to circumvent unlocking Bootloader with the required Bootloader code
Only DC Unlocker tool - for 4 Euros to obtain Bootloader code (since Huawei stopped providing for free)
DC Phoenix can do it too but in the combination with unbricking (more expensive)
