Step 1: Unlock the Bootloader – The Hardest Part

Huawei no longer provides official unlock codes. The verified community method uses potatoNV (a tool that reads the bootloader unlock code directly from the device's proprietary partition).

Instructions:

  1. Download and extract potatoNV on your PC.
  2. Remove the back cover of your P10 Lite (carefully, using a heat gun or hairdryer).
  3. Locate the test point (two small copper pads near the SIM slot – search "P10 Lite test point image" on XDA).
  4. Short the test point using tweezers while connecting the phone to PC via USB.
  5. The device will show as "Huawei USB COM 1.0" in Device Manager.
  6. Run potatoNV, select "Read Bootloader Code".
  7. Once you have the 16-digit code, use fastboot oem unlock 1234567890123456 (replace with your code).

Verified note: This method works on all P10 Lite (Warsaw) variants: WAS-LX1, WAS-LX1A, WAS-LX2, WAS-LX3.
