So I purchased my device on ebay and apparently it is a Chinese device so huawei UK can't get me an unlock code. I've tried using the chinese website, but it will not let me make a Chinese account due to my current region. Any suggestions?
You can use dc-unlocker to buy unlock code with 4 euro.

Sooo,
I bought a used vodafone moto g 1st gen naively expecting to have an easy sim-unlock available in the forums - maybe I haven't found it yet?
The online unlock code vendors I tried have refunded me saying they can't do my IMEI so I'm a bit stuck.
I flashed cyanogen hoping a new kernel would do the magic but I guess the simlock is in a different partition?
I see that a couple years ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903823 some were considering how the sim unlock modified the utag partitions. Does anyone know of further progress, information or solutions to sim unlock a moto g?
Or has anyone found a vendor that has successfully provided a UK vodafone sim unlock code?
P.S. Will I need to revert to the stock rom and kernel to use a sim unlock code?
The official Vodafone UK unlock service should work: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
Thanks Professor Gibbins.
Unfortunately the Vodafone unlock process asks for the vodafone number that has been used with the phone. Perhaps it would work if I got a pay-as-you go SIM from them and then provided that number.
Fortunately I tried paying a third unlock code vendor - sim-unlock*.net - waited a couple days and they came through with a valid code. I had started with the cheapest ebay vendors, so maybe they just weren't legit?
In any case, if someone else is in similar circumstances, here's what I learned:
There doesn't seem to be any other solution for sim unlocking the moto G xt1032 than purchasing an unlock code from an online vendor or, in the case of you being the original owner, from the network you purchased the phone from
Having a couple online vendors say they cannot get you the code does not mean another cannot
Neither unlocking the bootloader, installing a different recovery (TWRP), nor flashing a Cyanogen ROM will help Sim unlock the phone
The code provided by the online vendor did not work when I had Cyanogen installed. Fortunately I had created a backup of the vodafone ROM (using TWRP) and restoring their android version/kernel allowed the code purchased online to sim unlock the phone
Finally, the SIM unlock done in the vodafone system was maintained after restoring my Cyanogen install. I hope this means the sim/network lock will not return. It might perhaps resurface if I did a system restore; hopefully then the same unlock code would work again?

Once the unlock is done via an UNLOCK CODE, or via hardware unlocking tools, then it is permanent, so you shouldn't need to worry about this at all, but that said, in case you experience SIM un-/lock issues, then reuse the code when trying to unlock the phone on an OEM-DISTRIBUTED ROM (stock ROM).
Hello everyone
I want ask how get unlock code on official huaweii website i go tomorrow to buy that Mate 8 international version and want root it but need unlock bootloader i see somewhere i need register on huaweii website to get that code
Can anyone help me about that because i not see on website anywhere function to get code
Hi ; I have a 2nd Mate 9 Huawei ; the first came from china (AL00C00) and I rooted it without problems (except write in Chinese to have the code ...) and transformed into L29 C636, now in EMUI 8 - B362
The 2nd comes from the USA, it's a L29C432B198; to make faster updates and real backups (TWRP), I got Huawei bootloader unlock code and there is a problem: when I enter the code (by ADB, fastboot start then fastboot oem unlock) I an error response ; I have several times requested the code Huawei & it's still the same unlock code sent to me (which seems normal) ???? Has anyone ever had an identical problem and if so what solution ???

Yeah, I read here on XDA about this problem.
But first need to check.
Do you really have European phone? It came from USA and has EU ROM version. Different things...
What error do you have? Please, post screenshot.
What text in fastboot mode? FRP Lock?
Error it actually comes from Hong Kong, but is in Europe version (cf). Here is the error (cf)

It's bad. You have to write emails to Hong Kong's Huawei support or you can buy code via DC Unlocker and it will be different, but work.
I don't know reason why official code is incorrect. Probably, Huawei checks if phone is unlocking second time, as you told that it from Hong Kong (region C636) and rebranded to C432. So, it was unlocked already and someone got code before you. Just thoughts.

Could also try checking serial number in both Settings - About - Status and check IMEI in both phone and on box. Just to check that they match. And try using Huawei product ID generator.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/how-to-product-id-bricked-p9-t3561156
For Ante0 : I tried with IDGenerator, and I get the same code, which does not unlock the bootloader ??? :crying:
hi..i have huawei p20 lite sim locked to vodafone...if i root can i unlock it with some app that requires root?
i contacted vodafone and they said i have to pay 100euros to unlock, they are thiefs xd
im asking this cause a long time ago i did it with an Samsung Galaxy S2
Thank you
U have to unlock your phone first to root but u can't unlock your Huawei or Honor devices for free because Huawei has stopped giving unlock codes and all the available alternatives is going to cost some money
So there is a program called hcu client which costs 3 euros for unlocking 1 phone according to their website.Check if your device is supported in their website.
But I would recommend u to unlock or root only of u have experience or knowledge about it.
Model : Huawei Enjoy 6 NCE-AL00 chaina Serial NR. : DBH9XA1711208125 Firmware : Nice-AL00C00B171 fast boot unlock code plase sir
Yes, Huawei has stopped providing bootloader unlock code to any Huawei device. And this for good reasons.
In this scenario, third-party services came to fill the gap. Earlier, there was no need to spend anything to get bootloader unlock code from Huawei, but now users need to spend up to $60 to get unlock code.
try flashing stock firmware(same version or newer, but also has to be same region) in fastboot, some devices allow stock fw with fastboot without unlocking the bootloader
