[Q] Huawei Ascend G526 Bootloader Unlock Code! topic

Hi all, I am new to the XDA Forums and was just wondering if anyone can help me out with some trouble I'm having with my Huawei Ascend G526-L22.
Over the past few weeks, I have been finding it very hard to gain access to the 16-digit bootloader unlock code (usually Hex). After endlessly contacting Huawei in frustration attempting to gain access to a code that they had supposedly been giving out, I am left with a soft bricked phone.
The reason my phone is soft bricked is because I had become impatient and decided to "Kingo-root" (third party software) my device and it has sent it into a "Boot-loop" (upon boot the Huawei Ascend logo is at an endless standstill with the bottom buttons lighting up after 30 seconds)
I have tried:
- Holding all Buttons (Vol Up+Vol Down+Power) simultaneously for over 2 minutes
- Taken battery out countless times, left it out for 2 minutes inbetween, left Huawei Ascend screen on overnight to drain
- Attempted the 16-digit key in Fastboot (Vol Down+Power) only to find "Unlock Failed! Invalid key!" in the top right of the screen.
- Using DC Locker to try and unlock the phone (Ascend G526 not listed in models)
- Using EmotionUI (online Huawei Unlocking software) to unlock (again, Ascend G526 not listed in models)
- Attempted Update.app via ADB
- Attempted Update.app through external storage (only have 64gb card, phone recognises up to 32gb)
- Wiped cache, wipe data/factory reset countless times in System recovery (Vol Up+ Power) still stuck in "bootloop"
I know that all I need to to is gain access to an unlocked bootloader and I can safely get the device up and running, and I find it truly frustrating that Huawei (even after being claimed to) "can't provide the code because we stopped doing it in 2012".
If anyone has any tips to lead me in the right direction, or even get my phone up and running again (bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked) it would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance,
