Am I the only idiot having this issue? I'm not getting any response from them, when attempting to make my account in the first place. Advice?
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] Wimpycoolman15:
Guys I have found a way to unlock and root honor 5x. Go into developer settings and turn on USB debugging. What you have to do is remove any security that you might have (fingerprint, pin, password) and also delete your Google accounts. After that, do a factory reset and voila you can follow the steps for twrp install that can be found on honor 5x page on xda. I have successfully rooted honor 5x (Emui 4 marsgmallow 6.0), installed twrp, xposed which doesnt really work. Then I installed resurrection remix and gapps no problems. OK the fingerprint sensor doesn't work but hopefully an update will come soon

You will still have to make an account to get the unlock code as you will still need to use adb to do it

thanks [MENTION=5693458]CiSa[/MENTION] for directing me to this thread. My laptop runs linux so I don't think the dc-unlocker will work for me. I don't seem to be able to register for a huawei account -- the phone number registration doesn't support North American phone numbers, and while I can get an email confirmation when I try to register by email, the confirmation LINK in that email redirects to a "page not found" message in Chinese. I'm wondering what other Linux users have done to work around similar problems? There is a link somewhere in the thread to this post, in yet another thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67145368&postcount=568

which suggests trying to log in on a Chinese page using Google Translate; this is also unsuccessful for me and redirects me back to a page-not-found. Any suggestions? Thanks!

A ton of thanks. I was getting the same error. While the Chinese website is INCREDIBLY slow it is functional.

Actually: I found this thread because I am having the same issue on Chrome and Firefox. The captcha code does not display. Both Firefox and Chrome are saying it's unsecure, but I disabled the warning on both browsers and it still will not display on either. It looks like I will have to unlock using the unofficial method.

Edit: Called their support site. Could barely hear the woman on the other end. Told her what was going on. She kept insisting that she could help me install Marshmallow and didn't really understand what I was saying. Finally she said she would send the information to management as she can't help me with anything regarding unlocking the bootloader. I told her, again, I didn't need help doing that, that I needed them to check their website and get the captcha code fixed. Supposedly they'll email me with an answer....
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] topdawg661:
i emailed support for the US website and got a response the next day

Thank you for contacting Huawei Device USA.*We do apologize though we do not assist in providing device or warranty support in accessing the bootloader, providing codes to unlock the bootloader, or in rooting the phone. All of these actions can potentially "brick" the phone or in other words, renders the phone completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have been made aware of the issue with our website, and we ask you to continue to be patient as we undergo maintenance. Once the website is fully functioning again, you will be able to unlock your bootloader under your own discretion.*

Update: tried to contact them again and tried the Chinese website to no avail. Will try the paid solution next

Update: I used the paid solution and worked fine. Paid close to 5 bucks for the coins and delivered as promised. Fast and easy. Way to go!

hi

how can i unlock FRP ??? because ulnoc of bootloader failed because neccessary to unlock FPR
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vishal.ekka:
Hi, for those who are facing issues with the website, there's another way you can get the bootloader unlock key.

I also had the same issue.

This is what I did: I Went to the official honor website(India) and chatted with one of the representative there. I told the lady that I wanted the bootloader unlock key (she replied that they do not support unlocking bootloader as it might void warranty, I still insisted that I understand the consequences of my actions and am ready to face those). Then, she asked me for the Model#, Build #, IMEI, and the Serial number. Surprisingly she didnt ask me for the product ID which is required if you try unlocking using the website.

Then she asked me for my email id and said that she will be forwarding my request and I'll get the key within 2-3 days. I actually received an email with the bootloader key.

You could actually try the honor website for your region and then do a chat and get the key.

I hope this might help.:)

Great, another method
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] Xsillion:
Tried this method with HonorUS. They were adamant about not giving the key out. They said "despite the customers understanding, it is against our policy to give out the key, even if the customer understands fully the ramifications for their device". I insisted that they give me the key, but they would not. I think that honor really doesn't want people unlocking their devices. This truly sucks. I bought this phone thinking it would be easily tweakable, should have done my research first. Can't recommend this phone at the moment to anyone who likes changing their phone. Anyone have any other methods, aside from paying money through a sketch program?
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
Pay the 4 bucks or use the Chinese site with google chrome / translate

Do you have the link to the Chinese page specifically.?Can't figure out how to navigate to the unlock section of the Chinese website. I don't even have the option on the English sites, no matter what browser. They removed the ability to on the US sites.

Hi everyone,

I don't now if i'm right here - hope someone can help me...

I have a bootloop issue on my Huawei Honor X5 / KIW-L21 - also after recovery of the original firmware. I have now way to retrieve the productID (by call: *#*#1357946#*#*) or manufacturerID (by call: *#*#2846579#*#*) for my phone.

But I need these information to request the unlock code for the bootloader and completely reflash the device. Huawei won't help because the phone is out of warranty.

These are all information I have at all:

- Huawei Honor X5 / KIW-L21

- Serial: W6HDU16310012393

- IMEI: 869229026753900

remember, once if you unlock the bootloader, its done,, you can relock it (wether if you use unofficial or official methods), but the honor will know if you have unlocked it once, and your warranty is off course void.. (even if you relock the bootloader again) , if you want your warranty, then i would not recomend you to unlock..
