Apparently Honor is not giving away any Bootloader unlocking code for the European version of the phone (PLK-L01).
Someone sent an email asking for his European phone and this is the answer he got back.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Sorry that there have no bootloader unlock code for PLK-L01 items.
By default , you can do fastboot downloading for some images directly without Unlocking bootloader..
We suggest you'd better not root your device which would avoid the warranty and maybe cause it freeze.
Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.
Best Regards.
Huawei Device Customer Care Team 3207
Moreover, according to a French website that interviewed Honor CEO (http://www.frandroid.com/marques/honor/306559_honor-pense-avons-reussi-pari-marque-desormais-connue), they're not planning on having any changes on their ROM policy keeping it private and closed as it's been for the Honor 6.
I guess the only way left is to have someone doing the hack on XDA. Knowing that the phone is quite new we just need to wait a bit before someone eventually gets on it =)

That makes me rethink about buying it...
A phone without root le barely useless

Successfully unlocked my PLK-L01 from Germany.
Used the Huawei Product ID Generator combined with the following page to unlock bootloader: http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
My question is, how can I root now? The guide from piskr I think is only for chinese phones?

This tool was used in rooting Honor 6:

Need to adapt tool to Honor 7.

I've used the tool to load the latest TWRP on my Honor 6 Plus, which I had updated to EMUI 3.1 (Android 5.1.1).
Exactly the same TWRP was loaded succesfully on a Mate 7 with EMUI 3.1.
So my guess is it will also work on the Honor 7.
From within TWRP recovery you can install the SuperSU.zip

So, who will be the first to try this stuff out?

Weren't you the guy from Germany who unlocked his bootloader?
It's pretty safe flashing the twrp recovery from sideload (with the multitool).
IF (!) you have the original recovery image at hand.
Because when it doesn't boot with twrp you can just get it back into the bootloader and flash stock recovery back.

Yes, that was me.
Than I will have a look after the recovery image, because I don't have it at the moment.
And the phone ist still very new at the German market. So maybe I have to wait for it. Otherwise it would be nice to post a link if someone has found an recovery image.

Method to extract stock recovery was mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57271243&postcount=5
Going through Honor 6 forums, you will find plenty of methods that will apply for Honor 7.

I've just rooted my Honor 7 PLK-L01 yesterday.
The unlock code was sent to me by support.
I've followed piskr tutorial but I was stuck in a TWRP recovery reboot loop.
You can solve the problem, by flashing back a stock recovery.
I found a stock recovery that worked for me in the link of this tutorial :
http://www.gizdev.com/rooting-huawei-honor-7-unlockbootloader-root-install-twrp-recovery/#
(direct link to the file http://d-h.st/R6lD of this tutorial)
This was not exactly the same "stock recovery" as the one that my phone had but it worked for me.
PS: I've not tested the TWRP recovery provided in this tutorial.

If it got stuck in bootloop with TWRP, then how did you root it?
Or did you mean that you unlocked the bootloader with the code?
Did you flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery or another version?

Look over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor6-multi-tool-t2963060
You can flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 with this tool.
If @VirusPlus will take out the errors out of his script
Or put adb.exe, fastboot.exe and TWRP_2.8.7.0.img in the same folder on your computer and run this while having your Honor 7 connected via USB cable and ready in bootloader:
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.7.0.img
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot recovery
fastboot devices

The TWRP worked fine in adding SuperSU application but was unable to reboot to system.
Reboot system and power off buttons (even hard reset) always leaded to recovery.
(I was also unable to power off the phone)
I was just able to go into the bootloader by keeping pressed the volume down key at reboot start.
(and with the bootloader I could flash the stock TWRP that unstuck me)
I used the chinese TWRP from piskr tutorial.

if you want to preserve your stock recovery and still use TWRP, you can just boot into any recovery you want..
Just use the command :
Code:
fastboot boot <recovery image>
This will only boot the recovery on the device, and preserve your stock recovery.

And from there I can flash the SuperSU to get root without permanently have TWRP installed?
