Help with the bootloader unlock code

Can anyone please help me get the bootloader unlock code? The website always tells me to login in for 14 days continuously even though it has been over a year that I bought my device and logged in with the huawei id. My device is Huawei KII-L21. Any help will be greatly appreciated. My email is binilbaidya@gmail.com.

Please help

can you please explain step 8 ? i have downloaded the recovery image from the link. then where i need to store it? please help
Code:
/*
 *
 * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns before doing it! YOU are choosing 
 * to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at us for messing up
 *  your device, we will laugh at you.
 *
 */


Step 1
Make a Huawei ID at the following
http://goo.gl/OlsI8a

Step 2

Log in and fill out the details needed
https://goo.gl/VEKvXY

How to get the product identification code ?
In the phone's dial-up interface, enter * # * # 1357946 # * # *

What you will need:
ss_2016_01_31_at_03_43_41.png


Step 3
Now that you have your unlock code go to about phone in settings and click the build number until it tells you that you are a developer. Then go back once and select developer options and look for usb debugging and turn it on.

Step 4
Enable Developer settings by going to Settings > about phone and click build number until it says you are a developer.
Once that is done go back to the main settings and go to developer settings and enable OEM unlock.

Step 5
I am going to assume you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer, but if not go to this thread to install it.
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118

Step 6

Plug your device into the computer and authorize your device key so adb will work, then type the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once it boots into the bootloader do the following command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock 2062712452147427
Where numbers are put what you got from the website keep in mind it will wipe your data so if you have any personal data back it up first.

Step 7
Boot up the phone and set it up

Step 8
Download the twrp recovery image
https://goo.gl/53xai9

Step 9
Boot back into the bootloader by typing the following
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

Step 10
Flash the recovery with the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img

Step 11
Once it finishes type the following
Code:
fastboot reboot

If you want root unhide this and follow the steps:
Step 11
Download SuperSU zip
http://download.chainfire.eu/897/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip

Step 12
Boot into recovery by typing the following:
Code:
adb reboot recovery

Step 13
Flash SuperSu and enjoy your rooted Honor 5x


Thanks to all of the following for getting this working:

Hello Barath , perhaps you can help me with this. I am unable to get past the first step , when I try to get a Huwaei I'd , they ask me for a Chinese phone number. How exactly do I unlock the bootloader , step by step. It seems that Huwaei has made it harder , for those who are not in China to get the unlock code. If there is a place , that is not a scam to pay for it , I would gladly do so. I have rooted many phones , usually Samsung's , I bought this Honor 5 because they have a lineage 15 for it and the phone was cheap and had good reviews , I cannot stand the stock OS , it takes forever , to just make a call , or do anything. Please help.

Hello , Deadman. I cannot get past the first step. When I try to get a Huawei I'd , they want a Chinese phone number. I have tried many many times. From looking through the forums , it seems that Huwaei has made it harder to get the unlock code , if you are not in China. Do you have a way that works currently , to get the unlock code ? If there is a place that is not a scam , where I can pay for an unlock code I would gladly do it. I cannot stand the stock OS , It takes forever to do anything. I have rooted many phones , usually Samsung's , i bought this one , because they have a lineage 15 for it and it was cheap , and got good reviews. Please Please help.

Hello , I have tried to use the email option , many times now. It still asks me for a Chinese phone number , after I have entered the code that is sent to my email.
You should then be able to log in using your phone number OR your email. Just type in your email address and your password to proceed.
If you are still unable to get it set up and running, send me a personal message including screenshots of what you have done and what you see.

Every time I tried to install TWRP it says this. I have unlocked bootloader.

PS C:\adb> fastboot flash recovery kii.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45058 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.004s
Ensure that USB debugging is on and OEM unlocking is checked. Also ensure that you are running cmd as admin. :cowboy:

    As @EarlyMon said, without Huawei giving out the dev devices so early before official release and their contacts being so cool with the unlock codes, this wouldn't have happened anywhere near as fast, so props to them...

    Warning!

    Don't try to install xposed on your stock rooted EMUI rom.
    It won't work
    The system won't boot
    You'll have to recover from a nandroid backup
    You'll have to reinstall TWRP
    That is NOT TWRP's fault
    My personal, unverified, guess is that Huawei is writing to recovery in an attempt to, well, recover, when it detects a system fault
    13
    New version of TWRP has been released few weeks ago, most notable changes in 3.1.0 include:
    • support new Android 7.x xattrs for backup and restore to fix loss of data after a restore (Dees_Troy)
    • try mounting both ext4 and f2fs during decrypt (jcadduono and Dees_Troy)
    • support new Android 7.x log command (Dees_Troy)
    • adb backup to stream a backup directly to or from your PC, see documentation here (bigbiff)
    and many more, since this is default twrp image available for general public at twrp's site it is still missing f2fs and decryption support.
    Now, the good news is i have made a version with logd, f2fs and decryption working in my 3.1.0 image, all built on lineageos 14.1 and using the same kernel as the official LineageOS, available in the official 14..1 thread.
    I am still testing, and tweaking some things before i post new image (old broken images from me should be removed to avoid confusion). Lookie below :cool: and stay tuned!
    13
    Patience, folks, the image will be updated soon! Send big thank you's to @crpalmer for backporting properly the f2fs patches! (and correcting my commit mess).

    And no i will not be creating new topics or release new images once it's official, no need to duplicate what TeamWin already does while maintaining the twrp releases, a good job thank you! @bigbiff

    TWRP 3.0.2.0 with decryption

    Hi there. I have created test build of TWRP with decryption feature. I am using CM13 and recovery decrypts data partition successfully. Please test it and check if it works correctly. Any feedback appreciated.

    Screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/oXaSU
    Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByhhV-Ab8exKTlFFVUFhTTZ0bEk/view

    Btw, it's based on CM13 tree and kernel. If everything works well I will clean up source code and upload it to github! Thanks.
