*SOLVED*
For anybody struggling to unlock the Bootloader site, I finally managed to get it working.
Using incognito mode in chrome I went to the emui homepage, & translated with Google.
Then selected my phone Honor 6plus PE-TL10.
On the download page there is a link for unlocking. This took me to the homepage & I selected "log in with Facebook" It asked me to create a nickname, then took me back to the unlock page.
Here I was able to select smartphone in the first drop down box. The second box kept coming up empty & took a while for the page to load the list of phones.
However I was able to choose the correct model without trying to edit the page info.
I used IMEI from sim #1 was instantly given the code in red text at the bottom of the page.
Just be patient when using teanslate as the page may still be loading. Also don't expect a new page or window to open up with the code. Mine just appeard at the bottom & you could easily miss it.

Remember :-
*email login doesn't work
*phone number login doesn't work (Chinese numbers only)
*use incognito mode or clear cache/history/cookies
*use Facebook to log register a new account
*go to the site via the homepage not the link
*be patient using translate (page loads slow)
*profit ��

Thanks for your assistance

Choose your model from the drop down list.

Fill in the rest of the fields:

To get your Product SN: Settings> About phone> Status > here you can find the serial number.

To get your IMEI: On your dialpad enter: *#06#

(These two you can also get on the box your phone came in)

To get your Product ID: On your dialpad enter: *#*#1357946#*#*

Now enter the security code and click submit.

Your unlock code will be at the bottom in red. Copy it, write it down or save it.


STEP 2:
Download, unzip and open the Honor 6 Multi Tool folder.

Extract the file SuperSU.zip from the 'Tools' folder and put it on your phone's SD Card.

Make sure you have the phone drivers installed on your computer (if you have connected thru USB before, or installed the HiSuite, you should be fine)

STEP 3:

On your phone, enable developer mode. (Go to Setting>About Phone>Click on Build Number 8 times.) Then go to settings>Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.

STEP 4:

Power off your phone and now press Volume Down and connect USB to computer (while pressing volume down) to enter Fastboot mode:

STEP 5:

On your computer, run the Multi-Tool.

Choose 1 - Unlock Bootloader. Enter the code you got in step 1 and hit enter. Your device will now be unlocked.


If it says 'waiting for device' then disconnect and reconnect in fastboot mode - volume down then connect USB - the multi-tool should now complete its process.

Now go to Step two in the Multi Tool. - Install CWM. (option 1). This will take a few minutes.

Now restart phone - you can boot into CWM by pressing Volume Up+ Power and choose to save a backup of your phone system and data before it is rooted. Might come in handy later. This will take some time.

Reboot into fastboot and this time choose root (option 3) on the multi tool.

If your phone is stuck in fastboot at any time don't panic! Press Volume up + Volume Down + Power all at the same time and your phone will reboot.

STEP 6:

You can now boot into CWM on your phone (Volume Up+Power) and go to 'Install Zip from SD Card' option and choose the SuperSU.zip from your SD card and install it. Select reboot. The phone may ask "Root may be lost! Restore root Now?" Select 'No'.

Restart the phone and if you have the SuperSU app on your homescreen you are now rooted. Go to playstore and update SuperSU (if required)

Aaaaaand you're done!!!

Hi everyone.

Today is the day I got my hands on a Honor 6 H60-L04. Today is also the day I tried to port EMUI 3.0 on it, and the day I succeeded. I had to find a workaround and a small trick using stock updater to do so, but it's 100% working as far as I know.

REQUIREMENTS:
-Unlocked bootloader. Because we'll use fastboot a lot here.
-A Honor 6 L04.
-fastboot command installed on your computer. Not going to explain it here, it's pretty easy to find by yourself.

THE METHOD:
It's pretty easy to understand. I discovered by trying that EMUI 2.3 factory images from L01 worked perfectly on L04, so I thought, why not use this as a base?

-Download EMUI 2.3 images for L01 here: https://mega.co.nz/#!Mk0VhI6K!V2su7wLGl8shiwxROOQnJ-t67S1DPL2vlTWuW3EeBsw
-Put your L04 in fastboot mode (turn it off, then hold volume down key and connect to computer)
-Use the following fastboot commands:


Please also remember to disconnect and reconnect your phone to computer between each command. It refused to flash the next command everytime if I didn't disconnect it before.

-Configure your phone so that it's usable. This may not be required, but I did it for safety purposes.

So, now we're going to enter the interesting part: EMUI 3.0 installation.

-Download EMUI 3.0 official update for L01 from Huawei here: http://www.emui.com/nsp/geturl.php?path=H60-L01_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B307.zip&rid=786
-Unzip the downloaded file. You'll get a folder called "dload".
-Plug your phone to computer (MTP mode is preferred) and transfer the dload folder to the root of your INTERNAL memory (not the external SD card).
-Go to Settings > Update, and choose "Local update"
-Agree to update your phone. It'll reboot.
-After a while, your phone will say that update failed. Sad, isn't it?
-Hit power key to shut it off, then reboot it.

And then you'll see that you are on EMUI 3.0. But it's not over yet. It should be okay by now, but as phone said, update failed. To get on the safe side, we'll make a proper fastboot installation.

-Download EMUI 3.0 images for L01 here: https://mega.co.nz/#!V003WQSA!JmEoL2bMQwVeDRlJJueWBX3haXYzo5aK8XeCUq7XLww
-Put your L04 in fastboot mode (turn it off, then hold volume down key and connect to computer)
-Use the following fastboot commands:


Please also remember to disconnect and reconnect your phone to computer between each command. It refused to flash the next command everytime if I didn't disconnect it before.

Your phone will now be rebooted on EMUI 3.0 fully functionnal. It'll show "H60-L01" in Settings > About, this is 100% normal. It doesn't prevent your device from being 100% functional.

If you experience problems with the icons being ugly, just go to the Themes app and apply stock theme (in the 4th tab of the app). It'll be fixed. You can now flash a custom recovery and install gapps and SuperSU.

EDIT: if you have an Android logo as bootanimation, it means your bootanimation.zip is missing. To fix this, just download ES Explorer from Play Store. Then, copy /cust/channel/cn/media/bootanimation.zip to /system/media/bootanimation.zip and reboot. It'll fix this issue.

EDIT 2: if your internal memory seems to have shrinked, you will have to reformat it in CWM recovery. Go to "Mounts and storage", then "Format /data and /data/share (/sdcard). It'll be fixed.
