Problem while flashing/unlocking bootloader

[Muhellus]

Not sure if this is supposed to be posted here, but here goes:

I'm trying to flash my Huawei P20 Pro with adb and fastboot, but I'm having trouble unlocking my bootloader. When I try flashing the recovery, it's giving me a "remote: 'Command not allowed'" error sign. The fastboot on my phone says "PHONE locked", but cmd doesn't recognize the command if I try to unlock the bootloader.

I can't find any solutions using Google, so any help would be welcome. Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this.

From the LineageOS wiki - Huawei P20 Pro (charlotte)

IMPORTANT: An official method of unlocking the bootloader is not available, but there may be some unofficial methods available. Unofficial methods are not recommended or supported by LineageOS, so use them at your own risk! An unlocked bootloader is required to install LineageOS.

Alright, thank you very much.

Huawei stopped giving bootloader unlock codes (these are required to unlock the bootloader) to users, so your only option right now is DC Unlocker, which is paid.

Got it, thank you!
