Huawei P10: How To Unlock Bootloader Without Code

Introduction

The Huawei P10 is a great smartphone with excellent features and specifications. But there are some limitations that come with the device, one of which is the bootloader. The bootloader is a program that loads the operating system when the phone is turned on. Huawei has locked the bootloader on the P10, which restricts users from installing custom ROMs, rooting the device, or making other modifications. However, there is a way to unlock the bootloader without a code. In this article, we will show you how to do it.
