Huawei devices released after 2018 (including the Y5 2019) come with bootloader locking restrictions . Unlike older phones, Huawei no longer provides official bootloader unlock codes. This means installing any custom ROM is extremely difficult and often impossible for the average user without paid (and risky) third-party services.
Here is the good news: The XDA community has spent 18 months reverse-engineering the HiSilicon Kirin 710 platform.

The Huawei Y5 2019 supports Project Treble. The latest from Phhusson (v413) includes a specific patch for Kirin 710 devices.
