I've learnt about veeeery easy way to obtain an unlock code without need to contact Huawei.
1. First of all you have to be rooted (via Kingroot or 360 root). Kingroot worked well for me.
2. You have to install HonorTuner (attached).
3. Launch HonorTuner, go to Hardware Info and check out numbers in WVLOCK. This is your unlock code!
People say it works. As for me I didn't unlock my bootloader yet, so I can't confirm. It would be nice if anyone with unlocked bootloader with unlock code from Huawei could check and say whether WVLOCK and Huawei unlock code are the same.
I don't understand the point of this! If this tool is only going to show the unlock code of that phone on which it is installed, how is it useful to others? Let's just say that my phone is rooted and I install this tool HonorTuner on my phone and I tell you that yes, the unlock code that it shows (for my phone) is the same as the one that I got from Huawei, how would it help to get the unlock code of YOUR device?
Unlocking bootloader is normally the first step before rooting so is there any point to this?
Or can you properly root it without unlocking the bootloader?
I personally wouldn't want my phone rooted without a custom recovery to back it up before changes so you should still unlock the bootloader first.

This is for people that want to unlock their bootloader but don't want to spend days and days waiting for huawei to send their unlock codes. Just root with kingroot, and install the app.
PD: I also confirm it works

Thanks man, this saved my life and my h*as !!!
My Mate 7 was stack in bootloop at Huawei logo, due to a wrond (bul****) procedure I fount and followed on the web.
Recovery was lost and bootloader was FAULTY unlocked (it really was still locked)
I rooted the phone, installed your APK and then obtained the BL unlock code.
Then everithing was easy and the Mate returned alive.
Therefore thanks for your suggestion and to have saved my Mate 7 life !!!
Cheres !!!

Some Huawei ROMs have the tendency to re-lock the bootloader after a while, has happened to mine a few times already.

Hi all,
I don't have this phone yet, but was wondering if the bootloader can be unlocked. If it can then it will be possible to root.
Here is a simple guide, if there is anyone here that would like to try. No software required.
http://techbeasts.com/how-to-enable-oem-unlock-on-android-nougat/
If OEM Unlock shows up in the developers options menu.. good news!! If OEM Unlock doesn't show up, then there is no way to unlock the bootloader.
Please let me know if your phone is the Amazon Prime version. The Prime version may be locked down.
Thanks for any replies!
Prime version is indeed locked down. Also, at any point that you change anything on the phone to do anything with the software, Amazon will not provide you updates again.
I was able to unlock developer options in my Amazon version but now what? I'm assuming that the bootloader is now unlocked and theoretically, I should be able to flash a new rom? Problem is, does one exist? Cheers.
Just an FYI that my Prime Version did allow me to activate Developer Options/OEM Unlocking. Next step is trying to find a rom or even flash it to regular factory default. That I have not found yet.
Quick question SDACymru - I'm getting this phone in a few days... how did you perform the OEM unlock in dev options?
The normal way. Just tapping on the option for 5 or 6 times.

Thanks. Is there a reason we shouldn't be able to restore from a backup of a non-ads phone stock image and at least get that running on ad-based versions? From my understanding they are exactly the same hardware-wise, so should be possible...
Being able to expose "Developer option" and access to "OEM unlock" still don't make this is developer-friendly device, but I quite surprised that the Amazon Prime version even show the "OEM unlock" in the "Developer option". Anyway, it is close, if you can also perform the last 2 steps, then this device can be considered as developer-friendly.
The next 2 steps are:
- Reboot into fastboot
- fastboot oem unlock (from adb console)
Some devices with full fastboot implementation can check the device lock state by
- fastboot getvar all
If all these commands work, then the device will have good developer support. In addition, if all these commands work on the Amazon Prime version, then it is a piece of cake to remove the Amazon ads.
did anyone every try any of this? ADB Shell temp root has been achieved on this model, I have the temp root xploit but it's useless unless people know what they are doing with it. You can easily brick your phone. I don't physically have this phone but what I do have is a little knowledge, access to the stock rom and a way to flash it. I also know that the recovery can be swapped with TWRP during that flash process. Hit me up on Telegram: https://t.me/PizzaG
So being that I have actually gained temp root access (all credit to PizzaG, he knows his stuff)
Should I go ahead and give the fastboot steps a go? Would the persdata\nvdata remove the temp root access with a reboot or am I way off course?
Any input appreciated

Just rebooting you will lose temp root access. all you have to do is run the commands again any time you want adb shell temp root.
Please check out my new thread in the idol 5 forum. I have some things and ideas brewing
Magisk working
Thanks to the Mtk Easy Su app I have magisk working without flashing anything. How do ya get to fastboot on this thing? Recovery sucks, factory mode is pointless, so where's the good boot mode 99?
My guide to unlock bootloader and install twrp recovery.
https://androidforums.com/threads/6060c-bootloader-unlock.1327876/
I'm quite interested in buying this device (Nova 3i), but it's very important to me that i can root it.
I've noticed that the option "OEM Unlock" is not greyed out, and can be easily enabled, at least in the devices that are sold in my country.
So the question is:
Is it enought to enable "OEM Unlock" in "Developer Options" from the phone settings to unlock the bootloader and I can simply install TWRP afterthat?
Or do I still have to unlock it using unlock key from Huawei Website (which is unavailable)?
And if not, is there any other way to root it? Has anyone had luck in rooting it (e.g. Kingroot, etc)?
Thanks in advance.

No, root needs the bootloader unlocked but I think that things like find my device is a google feature so maybe it can work with root ( maybe with magisk hide) but I'm not sure.

You have to unlock bootloader in order to root. If you want Mi features, you can stay on stock MIUI or switch to MIUI-based ROMs like Xiaomi.eu.

No you can't, because magisk at least requires flashing a patched boot.img either through fastboot or a custom recovery, which is impossible without unlocked bootloader.
An interesting idea would be ( if you dare! ) to short certain test points when you take the device apart to force the phone into edl mode and flash the patched boot.img. but I wouldn't do that to my daily driver.
Well, thanks for all the replies! My question is answered! Thanks for all of you.
Without unlocking boot loader can i flash custom recovery ? Mobile condition is :-stuck in boot loop in redmi logo , i can reset but i want data so plz have anyone idea ,

I'm sorry to disappoint you, that I found out that Xiaomi devices have their EDL mode locked for only verified Xiaomi service accounts (which I don't have). So I couldn't test that hypothesis.
Another thing is, Xiaomi phones are not like other phones I used to have (like pixel or oneplus), where you could boot the phone with custom images signed by your own private key. (Vbmeta generation and signing). This method of booting custom images requires you to unlock first, make your own ROM, boot and TWRP, sign them with your all with your key and add that to your vbmeta partition. Which is a tedious Process and an unknown territory for me. Making it not really worth it to keep the Bootloader locked.
To summarize, It is almost impossible to root w/o unlocking (avoiding Avb). You either need the private key from Xiaomi, which only they know or you need to have a verified EDL account in order to try.

Please read all of this thread first. Make sure you're using the Official unlock tool and that your sim card number is registered to the same MI account as primary phone number. Use find my device to find out if everything is correct.

just wanted to confirm before flashing, I have redmi note 5 pro indian version, I do not have mi account added while my phone was on, also i do not have OEM bootloder unlocked, Can I still do this method?
If yes, It will be very helpful to please let me know some pre-caustions that i should keep in mind.

Well, as you didn't start the process to bind your Mi account, then you actually can't unlock the bootloader.
You will need to send your device to EDL mode, then you can flash, preferably, the same firmware you actually have.
To send to EDL mode, while device is locked, then it's not possible to use only commands or hardware buttons, you should need, instead to use a short-circuiting, just search for test point method for RN5 Pro.

I can't wait to get my hands on the device.
Think you can unlock the bootloader with fastboot/adb (same as with Nexus/Pixel/Oneplus-devices) no?
Hey!
After enabling OEM Unlock in the developer options, the commands to unlock it are:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Hope this helps.
What about relocking?

I like old OnePlus brand/Carl Pei for that, Root Friendly
No Knox, No 169 hours Waiting Period or Forbidden Unloack Bootloader.
It's premature to say whether this will be possible or not, as the Phone(1) was released only 5 days ago.
But knowing Carl, I think that everything will be allowed on this smartphone so that it can be used by many people.
It will be a while before we have a custom recovery and therefore can develop around the Phone(1).
But the kernel is already available for developers which is a good sign.

Is it able to retain L1 status after unlock?
After unlocking (without root, unmodified partitions):

You need to install Magisk (and also root your device) in order to install Universal safetynet fix module and ofc actually pass safetynet. Worked fine on my device.

If you have read my tuto with all the process and explanations , you would have seen this point that concerns your question:
12-Once you’re on the bootloader menu, you’ll now have to switch to using fastboot command to communicate with your device. To unlock the Nothing Phone 1’s bootloader, enter the following command: fastboot flashing unlock
In case you need to flash low-level firmware partitions like the bootloader images, you will have to execute another command afterwards: fastboot flashing unlock_critical
