I don't understand why we need a code.
When I unlock and root my other devices they never needed code.
There are multiple bootloader unlock threads in the Guides 20x subforum.

It would be nice if this thread focus on root.

Got my code. Unlocked the bootloader easily. Rooted worked as in the instructions.
People need to keep in mind that given how frequent the China version is updated, you won't be able to take the updates unless you flash back to stock, take the update, and then reapply the root procedure.

@freeza Hmmm...something weird. Was playing around and I reset the bootloader using wifi to restore. Now when I go through the root process....it says the recovery_ramdisk was written correctly but when I reboot with the volume up, it boots me into the default Huawei eRecovery. Any thoughts?
