Before you can root your device or install a custom recovery, you need to unlock the bootloader of your device. The bootloader is a program that runs before the operating system and controls what software can be loaded on your device. Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to flash custom ROMs and mods on your device, but it will also void your warranty and erase your data. Therefore, make sure you backup your important data before proceeding.

Go to Huawei's official website and create an account or log in with your existing account.

Connect your device to your PC via USB cable and open a command prompt window in the ADB and fastboot folder.
Type the following command and hit enter: adb reboot bootloader
Your device will boot into fastboot mode. Type the following command and hit enter: fastboot oem unlock [unlock code]
Replace [unlock code] with the code you received from Huawei. Hit enter and wait for the unlocking process to complete.
