Bootloader unlock on Huawei
Huawei ended official bootloader unlocking years ago. On recent firmware there is no legitimate unlock path, which makes conventional root impossible for most units.
Platform notes
Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms are the best-supported in the root community: fastboot works as documented, and even a failed flash can usually be recovered through EDL (9008) emergency mode.
