Hi everyone I recently bought a huawei honor 10 from someone on the street without making sure I could get passed the factory setup process. The phone is linked to a huawei ID in which I obviously don't know the info to which is making the phone activation impossible! I was trying to bypass this roadblock via backdoors in which I was really close by using *#*#1357946#*#* on the emergency dialer and just exploring all possible options. Unfortunately I decided to let my boyfriend try for a little while then he came back saying "baby you're gonna hate me but I ****ed up and updated the phone" now I have NO access to anything at all without 'unlocking device' does anyone know of any new ways to bypass the huawei ID phone activation after this recent update? Or maybe even how to downgrade without usb debugging enabled? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!

This is Huawei's own implementation of FRP(Factory Reset Protection). Which is locked to the original phone number the phone was first registered with, rather than a Google Account, because there's no Google in China.

The only way to reset and clear it, is to have the original SIM and phone number in the phone. And it's done by SMS verification. No bypass possible with current updates AFAIK. Huawei Service can probably reset and clear it, but you'd need to prove legal ownership.
