I'm asking because there is a software called dc-unlocker that - allegedly - can unlock the bootloader of a lot of Huawei phones:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones
For the Honor 6X it says as a feature "read unlock codes".
Possibility 1: Huawei has a database of IMEI number -> random hardcoded unlock code. Because dc-unlocker has that feature of showing codes this is probably not what they are doing.
Possibility 2: The unlock code is generated based on the IMEI number (possibly other parameters are required)
Possibility 3: They don't actually generate unlock codes and just unlock it with some exploit.
Does anyone know how this works? I thought it may be possibility 2.
Has anyone collected IMEI numbers with fitting unlock codes?
Maybe if we had a few we could find a pattern.
i tried retrieveing my bootloader code from Huawei web site, it still work

Maybe I will have to do that, but it sucks. Imagine if you bought a PC mainboard and then had to register an account at the vendor's website to receive a code just to be able to boot another operating system than the preinstalled one. People would want to crack that instead...
If you dont want to pay for unlocking bootloader. Then request key throught hicare live chat it will take approximately 14days
I'm not one for swearing much, but **** you, Huawei: https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-stop-providing-bootloader-unlock-codes/
That's why it's important that for the hardware you buy you have all the knowledge in the open, how to actually control the hardware. Like the algorithm that calculates the unlock code.
I tried dc unlocker – unfortunatly it freezes
As the dc-unlocker web site and the client program seem to claim they'd be able to provide unlock code for bootloader – I downloaded the client and bought 4 credits.
After switching USB Port Settings to "Manufacture Mode" - dc unlocker client detects phone as
Found Applications port COM3
Model : Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I change "Select Model" from "Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone" to "Huawei Honor 6X" and press the detect-button again – the program freezes.
Anything I chould do about this? Anyone successfuly unlocked the honor 6x via dc-unlocker? Any other possible solutions apart from hoping Huawei coming to sence and provide the codes again?

How'd you do that?
Kindly link me to the website I wanna give it a try.
I tried visiting unlocking page but it's dead, gives error.
Also if you're able to visit that page plz tell me your country also, coz a vpn may be of some help

I think, maybe "when it still worked" was meant – probably there's no "enclave" country were huawei still provides unlock codes… :/
DC-Unlocker seems to only support model "BLN-AL10" – maybe we'll be lucky in upcoming version (will ask in their forum…).
Anyone tried the services of "ministry of solutions"? They claim to support unlocking a bunch (probably all) of honor 6x models…
Any other possibilities?
dc-unlocker does not seem to work with my honor 6x – but I got refund for my credits bought.
(-> question in dc-unlocker forum)
Thinking about "ministryofsolutions" huawei bootloader unlock paid service – they claim in chat, they'd be able to provide unlock code for my BLN-L21C432B378. I don't like the thought of sharing my USB-ports via flexihub and giving access via Teamviewer– but I think the risk is not that big, if I use a fresh Windows just for that and disconnect my google account on phone and delete all personal data…
Any other suggestions or experiences?
Paid the 4$ for "ministry of solutions" – worked.
Code:
# whoami
root
# echo "yey!"
Despite Huawei saying the new policy is about reducing warranty claims for stolen data or bricked phones, occam's razor says this is to enable Big Brother's back door and prevent truly effective from keeping the phones from "going dark."
The first thing a third-party ROM user is told is that flashing voids the manufacturer's warranty. This issue is about control and surveillance, and there surely is a way to crack the bootloader code - even if the last method is brute force...

any way to root mate 9 without unlocking the bootloader ???
if its required, then how to unlock ???
Unlocking Bootloader is the first thing Huawei users need to perform before trying to root.
About a week ago, we could obtain a 16-digit bootloader unlock code from Huawei official website.
https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index
But the official web page seems to be unavailable for maintenance recently.

It's for maintenance, it's for good. Huawei announced that they will no longer provide boatloader unlock to any of their devices. So, until there's a hack that can be done, no root is possible at all.
Interesting. The page to request an unlock code seems to exist (From emui.huawei.com, there is a link to UNLOCK in the main menu), which takes you to a login page. Unfortunately, when I attempt to register, the site asks for an unlock code that it then never sends. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm really interested in unlocking my device so that I can repair the widget error that afflicts EMUI 8.0.
Huawei has announced that it will no longer provide boatloader unlock method starting from the end of last month. I don't think the page is down for maintenance, it's down for good.

This is true, but if you have an older device, you can still get a bootloader unlock code until the end of the month (July 29). I just registered with Huawei yesterday and received a code.

Since the one thread was deleted because of paid content, is paying to get bootloader unlock code the solution?

Buying an unlock code is the only way that I know of - and even that is getting patched by Nokia. We can only hope that Nokia will allow official unlock for this phone soon.

Hi,
Actually, since Huawei doesn't support that officially, the unlock methods are paid, as you said. I just wanted to warn you that even if you had the money to do that, those methods are sketchy, you have no guarantee of success, and the higher the price will be, the greater your chances of getting scammed will be. If you absolutely need to root your Android device, buy a new one.
Hope you still have a good day lol
Hey I just found my old phone and wanted to install custom roms on it.
After a bit of reading in the internert I have seen that its very hard to unlock huawei bootloaders these days,
I found a tool called DC unlocker but it costs money to get the oem unlock code, so im asking here:
Is there a free to unlock my honors bootloader nowdays, I dont want to pay money for that.
Im also planning to install TWRP on that device and a custom rom.
Thanks
Edit: after a lot more searching i found a video with a guys showing a bruteforec script,
now my only problem is FRP
I'm curious: what tool did you use to unlock the bootloader?
I have an old Honor 6A and I would like to install TWRP and LineageOS..
