I've got my Bootloader unlock password from the Huawei website.
When I use adb reboot bootloader the phone successfully reboots into fastboot.
But when I try to unlock my bootloader I get:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock my16digitBLcode
...
FAILED (remote: password wrong)
finished. total time: 0.014s
I have enabled OEM unlock and USB debugging

Model: BLN-L21
Build: BLN-L21C432B368
Android 7.0

I also get:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.009s
and:
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader)  locked
OKAY [  0.003s]
finished. total time: 0.004s

Why does it say that my password is wrong?
I've checked the SN and IMEI many times - and even used the IMEI2 and MEID on the Huawei website but I get the exact same unlock password.
The german customer service sent me the same unlock password.

I'm thinking about using dc-unlocker but I don't want to spend 4€ just to find out that it will generate the same bootloader unlock password that I already have.

Would downgrading help?
Or can I use kingoroot to root it?

FRP is unlocked when I have enabled OEM unlock in developer mode.
FRP is locked when I have disabled the OEM unlock option in developer mode.
I've tested it with both options but when I have disabled the OEM unlock it tells me that the command is not allowed.

How much did you pay for it and are the 2 bootloader codes totally different from one another?
Can you check if there is a pattern between the two when you convert them to hex?

i used hcu and code was different you should try if your phone still with bootloader locked if you cant unlock boot loader i'll give you the 4 euros i paid 5 usd because i paid by paypal
but i'm sure you will be able because i said the same that dc unlocker or hcu will give me the same code but was completelly different and it worked !

Request code once again code and cross check the code
Site is working and you still able to unlock bootloader
https://emui.huawei.com
Go to unlock section
use pc to request code to avoid mistake
Copy code from from browser and paste directly in cmd

This is because honor has disabled bootloader unlocking in all its current phones.
you will no longer be able to unlock it anymore...
Nooe. Any phone purchased before 25th May will get it till 22nd july only. Post that no bootloader codes. Once you have the code, you can do it anytime
