I've come across this thread after considering buying a UK M5. I prefer rooted devices because I want the option to install newer ROMs as the device ages, but I was disappointed by the initial post (no disrespect intended) which mentions a lot of steps (not a problem), payment and an online service to unlock. However, your post implies that you did it with Fastboot, which I've used on every Nexus device I've ever had....I was able to connect with adb and fastboot and unlocked via fastboot.

Is this right? "Fastboot oem unlock" works without the need of the steps in the OP?
No worries - thanks for clarifying. I thought it sounded too simple to be true, after reading all the hoops people have to jump through to unlock this device.
Oh well, the search for a simply-rootable tablet continues... . I won't give money to companies which refuse to give me total access to the device I've paid for.
Hello
Somebody know if work DC Unlocker on a Huawei M5 Pro with 8.0.0.172?

I'm also wondering that ...
Did neither unlock any bootloader nor root back then, as I figured I did not need it, however, the chance of getting rid of "auto-brightness feature" is tempting, so I figured I'd give it a try ...
I don´t think, there should be a problem. Even if there´s a problem, you can get your money back from dc-unlocker.
I´m a little bit confused, because my code was only a 16 digit code. If it´s only a 16 digit code, it should be possible to do a brute-force on it or am I wrong?
The unlock code that I received from the Huawei firmware site, when it was still active, was alphanumeric: IXRCYBEGGLIT3B17 (obfuscated, just in case!)
Your device is a wifi-only tablet ?
Nobody has posted their actual code, could the alpha numeric be hex? (Or hex pairs) and when converted to decimal match up? Perhaps the bootloader accepts the code in hex or decimal????
Got mine today for the CMR-W09 in a simliar way which may be easier for some:
- Once you're on the unlock page, fill everything out for a Wifi tablet with "Before EMUI5.0 selected".
- Before hitting Submit, go into the chrome developer tools and under the sources tab, open up the file 'emui.huawei.com -> en -> publish static -> plugin -> unlock/template -> js -> detail.js?v.4.15'.
- Click the '{ }' icon at the bottom left of the source pane to pretty-print the file
- Scroll down to line 150 that should say "if(param.before5)". Right click the line number for that line and select 'add breakpoint'.
- Now hit submit.
- The submission should break on that line number, when it does (it'll be highlight), go into the console and enter "param.before5 = 0" (without quotes, followed by enter) to change it's value
- Hit the '>' symbol at the top right of the source tab to resume submission.
