Some Huawei firmware versions have a bug that allows you to remove FRP using "Safe mode" method. Huawei developers are aware about this bug and it is fixed in the latest firmware versions.

START:

• Enter Recovery Mode by pressing Vol+ and Power On.
• Check if "Safe mode" is present in the Recovery Menu.

SAFE MODE menu is present:

• Perform wipe data/cache and then press "Safe mode" menu. The phone will start in the Safe mode.
• Go to the menu and select System -> Reset -> Reset all settings.

SAFE MODE menu is NOT present in the Recovery Menu, or the previous method did not work:

• You need to change the phone's firmware to the one with the bug.
• The easiest way is to use the flash files marked with "Downgrade to bypass FRP".
