Guest Voxpop2011 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 So what is the problem with providing the unlock? The phone does not belong to Huawei nor was it sold direct to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KenBW2 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 So what is the problem with providing the unlock? The phone does not belong to Huawei nor was it sold direct to us. Agreed! It's always the way, they seem to be protective of their devices for no real reason. But hey, that's the fun and games :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 There is no problem with the bootloader unlock. And they sell the phones locked to prevent idiots from messing things up and returning the phones back to the networks. If you unlock the device then you agree to the terms provided and your warranty is void. If you mess up then that's your own fault. And Huawei aren't the only manufacturer that does this. Samsung, HTC, Sony.. should I go on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Answer to question about unlocking bootloader and warranty: Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting Huawei device. Sorry about that if you unlock the Bootloader that means that your device is out of warranty. But if your has problems with your device , maybe you can try to send your device to local Huawei service center to fix with cost. Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device. Best Regards. Huawei Device Customer Care Team. Still waiting for code... Somebody at Huawei has misunderstood your request. Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung, HTC, Sony.. should I go on? Yea, I gather this is why they have the whole "Submit a code to unlock your bootloader" thing - if they provide an official way it makes it the easiest way, and they have a way to check if it's been unlocked. But like I said elsewhere, I'd welcome the opportunity to invalidate my warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimwormold Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Did you need to put the phone into recovery or fastboot or anything first, or was it just on and plugged into the computer? I just want to be ready to unlock mine as soon as the code arrives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow the guide at the start of this thread, and yes the phone does need to be in fastboot mode, volume down and power hold down for 10 seconds and away you go.
