You can do follow these instructions to unlock your Huawei GR5 2017. Absolutely work as well after unlocking and rooting my GR5 2017.

Have fun and enjoy rooting

Check in 5c or 8 thread. They are kirin based and user have reported the same and there was something mentioned to get rid of it

Not easily finding it, although I see one person suggested formating the factory partition, which seems incredibly drastic. (yes don't do that!)

This seems to be similar but my message is that Bootloader is unlocked and device can not be trusted. I doubt that unlocking again will make a difference.

Unfortunately I can't find my country (France) in the Huawei ID registration. Do you know if it matters if I pick another one?

I think I used a different country when unlock my g7 a few years ago. It required sms verification but I used the Firefox web editing thing to convince the site to send to my home number by adding it to the list of countries. But I don't have the instructions for this anymore.

Edit: I used the same account to unlock my 6x, and it still worked

You are right, the country doesn't matter. In fact it's just a two steps verification, and if you don't find your country code for the sms, I'll suggest taking the mail verification, with any country. It worked for me.

HONOR 6X Not listed on Huawei Website

Is it just me or is anyone else having an issue in getting the unlock code from the official website? I registered for an official Huawei ID, and even had to choose the Cayman Islands as my location, as the USA was not available. However, after finally being logged in, the Honor 6X is not listed under the devices. Please help!

Don't search for the device. Instead click on "Unlock bootloader" right below the search bar. Refer to the attached image.
