In the subject of the message you must put bootloader unlock code request, and in the body of the message we must include the data of our Android terminal. Data such as the IMEI number of the Huawei P8 Lite, a terminal that being DualSIM, how is it logical, we must provide the two IMEI numbers.
To finish it will be enough to write down in the same message the serial number of our Huawei P8 Lite, an identification number of the terminal that we can find in Settings / Phone information / Status.
Once the corresponding message has been sent requesting the unlock code for the Huawei P8 Lite bootloader, in a matter of 24/48 hours we will receive the requested code also via email.

- The first of all will be download this file executable for Windows .exe and install it on our PC.
- We connect the Huawei P8 Lite to the personal computer Using its original data cable, we turn it off and on again while holding the volume minus buttons and the power button simultaneously and without releasing them until the Fast Boot mode appears on the screen where we can read "Phone Locked".
- Now from the Windows desktop we will click on the icon of the newly installed program Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
- The classic MSDos command window will open, so we will have to write the following command: fastboot devices
- We will be shown a line in which we can see, among other things, the serial number of our Huawei P8 Lite, at the end of these lines we will write the following command: fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, where we must replace the "Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" for the bootloader unlock code that Huawei itself has kindly provided us in the previous step via email. This unlock code must be a 16 digit code.
