Note: Not tested with encrypted data! Backups also corrupt sometimes. I have no idea why. Also happens on CWM.

Downloads:
* Raw image
* Stock recovery

Booting to the recovery:
* Turn the phone off.
* Hold <Vol Up> + <Power> for about 5 seconds. (You have to hold them or it will just boot up normally..)

Installation:
* Install adb and fastboot on your PC.
* Download the image.
* Reboot your phone to the fastboot-mode. ("adb reboot bootloader" or from the recovery)
* Type "fastboot erase cache" to format the cache partition. It can cause some problems, if it isn't erased.
* Type "fastboot boot recovery.img" to test if it works.
* Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to actually flash it.
* Type "fastboot reboot" to exit the fastboot-mode.

Unlocking the bootloader:
* Note: Unlocking the bootloader WILL format your data!
* Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable "OEM unlocking".
* Reboot your phone to the fastboot-mode. ("adb reboot bootloader" or from the recovery)
* Type "fastboot oem unlock".
* If it doesn't work, try "fastboot oem unlock-go".

Hi,

I tried the command "adb reboot bootloader" in the command prompt with admin rights. I get the following message back: "error: closed".
My device appears as a host under the list of devices attached. The only thing I can start on my phone is the oem recovery. Then I select Apply update from ADB.

Grtz

Not sure why it doesn't work. Have you updated the device to the latest firmware? Maybe Huawei changed something..
Try to go to Settings -> Developer options and check "OEM unlocking" and try again.
