    • I’m also wonder why they don’t have an option for other country code. But anyway you can create a Huawei ID with your Email id.

  1. i made an account, but everytime i clock on the “unlock bootloader” i get a page in all chinese, im assuming an error page … any other ways to get this done?

    • Use Google chrome to translate the page. Other way is to use DC Unlocker but that cost you some money.

  2. People that are getting that “We’re sorry but the server is busy…” message you can get the code from
    www. emui. com/plugin. php?id=unlock&mod=detail

    (REMOVE SPACES AFTER EACH PERIOD)

    it’ll be in Chinese but the process is pretty much the same.
    Let me know if it helped :)

  3. finally got it. i had to make a new account at huawei page, and for whatever reason it just went thru. i tried with the old account and got the error. oh well, its working now. thanks for the guide

  4. the site says you have to login with your huawei id for 14 days continuously, then you can ask for the unlock code…..what does it mean…..please somebody help….!!!!

  5. I just wanted to say thank you for the links. I have been driving head on into this language barrier for far too long and this was the first place I found links to at least get me in the right section of hell. Still hit a dead link after logging in, but just hit back to home. Then, finally found the “unlock brush” link hahaha thanks to Google’s translating skills. I have unlocked bootloaders from a handful of companies now. A couple of them were a headache, but because of the hiccups with the phone and such. I now have a greater understanding of the extreme distance between the U.S. and China. I just don’t understand. Huawei is by no means a small player in the U.S. android market…Where’s the web support! I don’t even want to think about having to use support over the phone..

    Please I need help. The step where the phone reboots works well but I can’t use fastboot on that bootloader. It’s like a white screen with an Android icon and says “Phone locked”, “FRP ((or something)) unlocked”. What is this?

  7. Im frreking out all day i try …
    Please make sure the verification code and model number are correct. If your device has multiple IMEIs or MEIDs, please try another IMEI or MEID.
    Whats is problem

  8. @Dejan Andrejic , For multiple IMEI’s you have to enter only one IMEI. Check either 1 it may work

  9. Thank you Sumit. Worked perfectly on my Huawei Y6 (SCL-L02) :-)

  10. The ‘OEM Unlock’ option is not found on my Huawei S6 (DIG-AL00). What can I do?

    • OEM Unlock option can be found on device running Marshmallow or above. If you can’t find it skip the step and follow further.

  11. “5) It will ask for a product identification code, (to know that dial * # * # 1357946 # * # *) fill the MEI code and submit.” – not working on my g700-u20

  12. under developer options you also have to set: “Allow OEM Unlock”

  13. you can chat on huawei. com and ask for bootloder code. they will supply you the code in a week by email. make sure EMI and ID codes are ready. They will ask for it.

  14. i hope huawei will find a way to make their users upgrade hassle free just like apple..if theres a new updated the updater will automatically notify you for new updates..it will be much comfortable for us users..just saying..
