Hi everyone,
I have recently bought a locked Huawei Y600-L01 (3 Ireland) because I was desperately in need of a phone (my own became hard-bricked without any reason apparently :confused:). It worked only with a 3 Ireland sim I had bought previously, but not with my own Italian sim card. Since the phone asked me the unlock code and I didn't know it (I didn't even know it was a thing, since my previous phone was bought unlocked), I simply inserted my sim code ten times and successfully locked the sim on the phone.
Now, when I insert the Italian sim on the phone, it simply says that the sim is locked (despite not being actually locked, since I tried that sim on another phone and it worked perfectly).
As you may now think, I need this phone to be unbranded. The instruction for that phone are really hard to find, though.
While I installed successfully a stock Huawei V100R001C577B040 firmware version + kernel (phone still locked anyway), I can't seem to unlock the bootloader in order to unbrand the phone (at least that's what I understood it has to be done... or not? :confused:).
I tried both with adb/fastboot and DC Unlocker
1 - adb successfully sees the device. If I type first adb reboot bootloader the phone gets stuck on the first boot screen without actually entering the fastboot mode. If I type fastboot oem unlock in this state it says that the operation has failed because the phone is locked.
The only way to turn back to normal is to remove the battery, wait some seconds and then put it back into the phone.
If I don't try to enter in bootloader mode and I just type fastboot oem unlock, <waiting for device> appears and nothing else happens.
I also tried fastboot -w, but <waiting for device> appeared even in that case.
I tried to apply for the code from the Huawei site, but a) when I dial *#*#1357946#*#* for the product number it doesn't appear anything and b) when I tried the Huawei Product ID generator no ID generated would work.
2 - DC Unlocker doesn't even recognize the phone
What should I do?
PS: I would rather not pay for the unlock code, and I also need to use the "locked" sim on the Huawei phone
