now that huawei doesnt do it anymore, is there a way to unlock the bootloader of the 5x

Last week, I used the unofficial method listed here. It worked perfectly, but it will cost you 4 euros.

The unofficial method

1. On a Windows PC, download and install DC-unlocker from https://www.dc-unlocker.com/.
2. On your phone, enter Manufacturer Mode - open the dialler and enter *#*#2846579#*#*. In the app that then opens, select Project Menu -> Background settings -> USB ports settings -> Manufacturer Mode.
3. Download the Huawei driver pack from https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share....9D4A1EF09BA620.
4. Install the Huawei driver pack by extracting the file you just downloaded (using WinRAR or similar) and running 'DriverSetup'
5. After installing the driver pack, connect your phone to the PC. In Device Manager, after the automated driver install, you should have no 'Unknown Devices'.
6. Launch the previously downloaded DC-unlocker application.
7. From the drop down lists, select 'Huawei Phones' and 'Auto Detect Model'.
8. Press the magnifying glass icon - the app will then search for your phone.
9. You should see an image like the one below showing your phone is found. At this point, press the 'Buy Credits' option to set up your DC-Unlocker account and purchase the 4 credits required for code retrieval (this will cost €4). You can also do this directly from the DC-Unlocker website.
10. After your credit purchase is complete, click the 'Server' section and enter your new DC-unlocker login details. Press 'Check Login' to validate the details (if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts).
11. Click the 'Unlocking' section, and click 'Read Bootloader Code'. Do NOT click 'Unlock'. Again, if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts. The white area of the app will now display the bootloader code. Screen grab this just in case!
12. Open a command window on your PC, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
13. Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
14. Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
15. Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
16. In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
17. In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the DC-Unlocker process.
18. YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
19. That's it! You're done!
