As title, is any up to date guide on how to unlock bootloader?
The only guide found here points to dead links.
Unfortunately, you can't unlock it anymore. We need to wait for Huawei to change its mind (unlikely) or our developers to come up with an idea how to unlock it.

Both options require waiting...

you may try with DC unlocker, which will fund 4€ for an bootloader unlock code. then you may follow th usual unlock procedure via ADB

Hello dears,
I've been looking for a new P10 plus, but I won't buy it if there is no option for bootoader unlocking.
I've been accross this one:
Code:
http:--huaweiadvices.com/unlock-bootloader-huawei-p10
,
where it mentions this one:
Code:
http:--hwid5.vmall.com/CAS/portal/userRegister/regbyemail.html
Is there anyone with any experience on this?

Do you know if the Xiaomi's are unlocked?

Well, I did pay a visit to hwid5.vmall.com, no unlock codes provided there.


Do you think it will work from hardreset24.com/instruction/how-to-get-password-for-unlocking-bootloader-in-huawei-p9-plus-only-by-imei or from global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below or dc-unlocker.com?

After the unlock code is inserted, can we flash any ROM, firmware, kernels, etc? Does it stay unlocked?

I did unlock VKY-L29 using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/how-to/unlock-bootloader-code-t3859685

It's not oneclick job and took me several evenings to unlock, but it's free and it works. The problem is that you need to get a unique slock file and then again you'll need edit nvme file (or gently ask someone who understands). There are very nice support if you're not pushing them to do magic for you.
All in all, i have unlocked device for several months and now i use OpenKirin Pie.
