"This guide is usesless now.. Becuase honor is now not providing bootloader unlock codes... If you already have unlock code then you can follow the setups.."
To install Magisk and gain root in your honor view 10 you have to unlock your bootloader first.
##Please backup your data before proceeding with the process. You will loose all your data if you unlock the bootloader. ##
Please follow below steps to unlock bootloader
1) Create a Huawei ID on this page https://goo.gl/GkkdxE if you don’t have one already.
2) After creating a Huawei id, fill out the details.
3) You will need your phone’s IMEI number, to know that dial * # * # 1357946 # * # * on the dialer app. Fill the required fields and click the Submit button.
4) Save the unlock code you received.
5) Now connect your Honor View 10 to the PC with a USB cable.
6) In the ADB command window, type the following command to boot your Honor View 10 into fastboot mode.
adb reboot bootloader
7) To unlock the bootloader, type the following command and hit Enter. Replace key with the unlock key you’ve previously saved. For example, fastboot oem unlock 44801904392841
fastboot oem unlock [unlock key]

Hey, I'm about to receive my V10, I just wanted to know, unlocking bootloader does cancel warranty right ? If so, relocking it (if possible) brings it back or not ? Thanks for your answer, never really care about this question with my op2 and was just wondering

The warranty is void even if you relock the bootloader. It shows relocked afaik

Do not relock bootloader! Never! It might cause lots of trouble ... I had such experience.

I spent hours this afternoon going through the Huawei sites and could not find anything. Google only bring up the posts already here and a few others which redirect to the same 404 pages. Luckily my bootloader is already unlocked, but I find it very strange that Huawei have disabled their pages. Where to look now, I have no idea.

You need to contact them via e-mail or social (twitter), they will send you the code via email.

I'm already unlocked. I was searching for the other member. Thing is, the OP should update the thread.
Tryed to reach Honor on Facebook and Twitter. No reaction.
Any news on getting honor to respond and helping you unlocking the bootloader on the BKL-L09?
I'm based in the UK.
I tried registering on https://emui.huawei.com/
it has all sort of countries listed including the vatican but it doesn't have any European UK US countries. I decided to pick hongkong, and registered nevertheless.
The unlock bootloader link as seen on youtube video guides doesn't show up on https://emui.huawei.com/ and any direct link point to error 404.
I sent an email to [email protected] and surprisingly, as it's the only email address available on the whole website, my email bounced back.
I'm in the situation where I'd like to have the ability 1-2 years from now to unlock the bootloader without any fuss. I could even consider unlocking the bootloader and voiding warranty now for fear of this option disappearing from honor completely in the future.
But if getting an unlock code is not an option, or if it won't be an option in the future I wish there was a way to know now so I can return the phone.
Thanks

Is the Unlock website down for anyone else?
Use the Chinese version one with chrome browser.
Got a link? Im trying to unlock my 5x
Two links I am trying
1
https://hwid5.vmall.com/oauth2/port...hp&viewType=0&isDialog=0&themeName=cloudTheme
2
https://www.emui.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
Still down
Try this but use a browser that translates like chrome for example.
https://www.emui.com/cn/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190
Use the top two things in this post ^
1. Use Chrome & click on the first link
2. REGISTER for a new account using your email - right click and translate to English if you need to (this is why you use chrome)
- I had to resend the email auth before I received it, the email is all in chinese characters, just click the only link
3. Once you're confirmed, GO BACK to the first link in step one and SIGN IN
4. It should automatically take you into the bootloader unlock process, if not: use the second link and complete the process for unlocking the bootloader.
5. Follow the rest of the steps in the guide to install TWRP and get root
And thanks to @deadman96385 for such an excellent guide btw, props!

UPDATE
After emailing support telling them their website was falling over and sending them my details they emailed back with the unlock code within 24 hrs
I went on to their website to try to request a firmware unlock code. The process did not work after inputting all the device info, and at the bottom of the site it says to email them if I had an issue, after emailing they sent me back the attached statement. Has anyone else run into this issue?
I just unlocked my 5x Friday afternoon with out issue. I made my account, filled out the required form and was immediately given my unlock code. Maybe you missed something on the form. I did have to google Huawei USA to find the proper site as the one linked in the TWRP thread is for Chinese only.
---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------
Oh yeah, I am in Oklahoma USA
Same here, unlocked two instantly..no waiting, within last 3 weeks, took some Googling but I too used the english site, my first tries burped me too something about it can take 14 days, but i went out and back in then had no trouble. Keep at it.
I'm assuming your device was carrier unlocked also? Mine was in English to, asked me for IMEI, model, and product id were among the fields I can remember. There was even a disclaimer before inputting the info stating that my warranty will be void and such. Guess I'll give it another go. Thanks.
Tried it again, I just had to pay close attention to capitalized letters while inputting the info, thanks everyone!
Just to make you sure, honor won't shut down the service to provide unlocking codes

Link to huawei unlock: https://hwid5.vmall.com/CAS/portal/...ndex&loginChannel=22000000&reqClientType=2023
1. you need to create an account if you do not already have one
2. after that you will have to agree to their terms which includes voiding warranty, etc...
3. When the screen pops up for you to input all your information, you must input everything exactly as it appears on your device. For example, in the Serial number and model fields, you must use capitalized letters because lower case letters will throw an error.
Hope this helps and good luck!

ya seen that i thought he was mentioning the same thing any other new process but if there is no other process we need to use it as a last thing to get our bootloader unlocked.
I will go with that option if huawei no longer provides unlocking codes

Hello guys,
as the title says, I want to unlock my Redmi 5 Plus and load LineageOS, but I'm stuck.
I was approved and this morning I received the text message confirmation that says "Permissions have been granted ...", but when I go to "Mi Unlock Status" and touch "Add account and device" i receive this error code: 86006.
These are my iphone info
upload pictures
I tried with 5 different VPNs, and restarted many times but nothing worked.
I read around that probably i have to wait 72 hours in order to unlock my device, is this correct?
Anyway any kind of help is really appreciated.
Thanks

86006 is not connection issue, its a server issue...
VPN issue is error 10008
try to flash developer rom, if the problem persist then welcome to the dead-end.
We're users from Indonesia, we've tried every possible method including tearing phone, short the circuit, test-point, etc...
It all end with either 86023 or 86006 error. We've got reply from official xiaomi Indonesia that stated the bootloader can't be unlocked anymore on official phone. It's weird because we're not bound to any specific carrier.
The only real solution is just to sell official phone and buy illegal unofficial phone from third-party reseller.
hopefully people at other countries still can unlock their phone

its simple, just download the file from xiaomi site, simply pick the recovery rom and put it on your phone
then from updater app, choose the option on top-right and select that file... it should be done in 10 minutes.
As you all know, the site to obtain bootloader unlock codes is currently down. It certainly has me distraught specifically for the View10 community which I'm working hard to grow and make successful. This is only a speed bump. I'm am still trying to figure out what is going on and working to get it back. (I don't directly handle it).
I know the very importance of having an easy method to unlock the bootloader of a device and this certainly has thrown a wrench into things.
So, to get around this hiccup, I have setup a Google form for users to fill out with the appropriate information in order to request a bootloader unlock code. One of my colleagues will have access to the spreadsheet that the data dumps into and will update it with the unlock codes. I will then email you your unlock code. Turn around time we're looking at is about ~24hrs (not including weekends).
This is not ideal but I feel this is the next best thing until we sort out the site and what exactly is going on.
I'm thankful for everyone's patience with this and all the developer's support for our device
Please follow this link to request an unlock code: Feel free to share this to other users as this is not specific to View10

Think the reason the bootloader unlock code does not recognize is probably because the device does not recognize it in adb mode or it recognizes the wrong number.
If the device is not recognized as adb mode, is the boot loader unlock code not recognized?
If there is a problem with device recognition, is there a way to recognize the device in adb mode?
If the bootloader unlock code is wrong, should we talk to @[email protected]_USA?

I dont think the bootloader unlock code is wrong! But check again your settings...
You must enable Developer Options (7x click on Build Number in settings "About phone")
In Developer Options it is required to enable OEM Unlock.
And you must enable ADB Debugging in charging mode (before USB Debugging) and finally USB Debugging (if you enable USB Debugging before ADB Debugging, USB Debugging will not stay enabled and is disabled soon you leave the settings...)
If you have USB connected with the Phone (and the drivers must be installed automatically by windows, if not use HiSuite by Huawei to connect phone and close HiSuite after in the background) -
and you open Minimal ADB and Fastboot in administrative mode, type:
adb devices
On Phone Screen you receive a RSA Request and you must except with "always from this computer" and okay.
With:
adb reboot bootloader
you enter Fastboot Mode.
On Screen FRP must be unlocked
With:
fastboot oem unlock codexxx..
you flash the Unlock Code and confirm on phone screen.
After automatically Factoryreset reset with low-level wipe appears.

To unlock bootloader of several Nokia android devices you need to be on Security Patch prior to August 2018 and you need a Unique Unlock Key for your device.
{Mod edit}
If you satisfy the above conditions then here are the steps to unlock bootloader -
1. Reboot to Fastboot/Download Mode
2. Check for your devices using the following command
Code:
fastboot devices
3. Type
Code:
fastboot flash unlock unlock_key.bin
Note - Replace unlock_key.bin file name with full name of your unlock key file.
4. Type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
5. You'll see a bootloader unlock confirmation prompt screen press power button to confirm.
6. Again reboot to Fastboot/Download Mode
7. Follow Step 2 again
8. Follow Step 3 again
9. Type
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
10. Follow Step 5 again
Now you've unlocked your Nokia Device Successfully.

This part is what I don't understand. How is it possible to downgrade a bootloader locked device from android 10 to Oreo without a signed android Oreo image that is accepted by the device?
There are only two options to get your phone downgraded with locked bootloader, first is Nokia Service Center and second is the websites that I've mentioned in the 1st post they'll downgrade your phone and provide you the unlock service.

This part is what I don't understand. How is it possible to downgrade a bootloader locked device from android 10 to Oreo without a signed android Oreo image that is accepted by the device?

isn't firmwarte DRG-237-WW.nb0 a signed firmware perfect for downgrading (with OST tool or SUT tool) ?
real question, i just bought a TA-1116 yesterday
If the image is signed, it can be flashed. They might have obtained signed firmware image from the employee in service center.

How to unlock bootloader without PC Nokia 6.1 plus
Techmesto released the tutorial to unlock the bootloader for some Nokia phones (including Nokia 6.1 plus) on june 21, 2021. Here is the link https://www.techmesto.com/guide-unlock-bootloader-nokia-android-phones/ (You must have a Windows machine)
I used it to unlock mine. It works
EDIT: It works. The timezone is EST as per my digging. I was able to unlock it for free.
Leaving below comment for historical reasons:
Their unlock works, apparently, 15 times a day, and the timezone is not mentioned. It is obviously an advertisement for their paid service.
From their website:
The OTP is valid for 15 minutes from generation.
Only 15 devices will be supported for unlocking in a day. After this further generation of OTPs will be disabled for the day.
Please contact us in case you have a bulk requirement.
There is no reason to believe they allow even 15 OTPs or even 1. Since they are obviously able to generate them in "bulk", I think it is best to not mention them here. Let them do their advertisement on Nokia forums.

@cubancigar11 You should first try it before dismissing it as advertisement. I used it to unlock my bootloader a few months ago.
Thanks. I was also able to unlock it after many tries. I have edited my comment to reflect this. Unfortunately there "donate" link is broken, otherwise I would have donated $5 which they quote as price.
