  • Hoe kan ik mijn Huawei P10 (VTR L09) ontgrendelen? Ik raak er met geen mogelijkheid meer in, nadat ik hem per ongeluk herstart heb. Hij blijft maar zeggen dat de PIN fout is, ofwel dat ik het binnen xx minute opnieuw moet proberen. Heb 'm al tig keer herstart, verschillende foute codes ingegeven (dat was een tip die ik kreeg: "drie keer foute PIN ingeven", dan kan je de PIN wijzigen. En dan zou ie de PUC vragen. Ik ben 1 keer tot bij de PUC geraakt, maar nog steeds niet terug in mijn toestel...).
    Ik had er zo naar uitgekeken om dit toestel te gebruiken. Maar als dit nog lang duurt ga ik straks gewoon terug naar mijn Iphone 6. Daar heb ik nooit dit soort problemen mee gehad. Begin me al af te vragen waarom ik eigenlijk naar Huawei wilde veranderen. Oh ja, de camera... Maar daar heb ik ook weinig aan als ik niet in het toestel raak..
    Enfin, ik hoop dat iemand me hier kan helpen. Alvast bedankt! Gesteld op 7-8-2017 om 22:25
