A: Yes, but do not do it unless you are back on stock firmware. If you relock with custom software, you will hard-brick the device. Use fastboot oem relock [code] .
A: After unlocking, SafetyNet will fail. You will need to root with Magisk and use "Magisk Hide" and "Universal SafetyNet Fix." Final Verdict Unlocking the bootloader on a Huawei P10 Lite in 2026 is not for beginners. It requires physical disassembly, a paid software credit, and patience. However, if you are a tinkerer looking to breathe new life into this 2017 mid-ranger with a custom ROM like LineageOS 20 , the €4 and 30 minutes of effort are absolutely worth it.
Disclaimer: This guide is provided for educational purposes only. Unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty, wipes all your user data, and triggers the “Your device has been unlocked” warning screen. Huawei no longer officially supports bootloader unlocking. This process requires using third-party tools and carries a risk of bricking your device if not followed exactly. Proceed at your own risk.
