You can flash Twrp,root it and flash Stock Recovery,this works for me.
I have the L29 Version

well, flashing twrp without fastboot and on a stock recovery is kinda difficult....thats why OP is asking for advice ^^

You should be okay if you are running the stock recovery, no root, and updated Motorola Services app.

So lock or unlocked bootloader doesn't matter?

You can flash the recovery alone. You'll be able to get ota update, this is assuming you're unrooted and system is not altered in anyway.
You don't have to relock your bootloader either.

You'll have to find the stock recovery image and flash it. It'll be inside the stock package here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/firmware-firmware-lollipop-retail-t3017383
Else you'll have to find the image uploaded by someone,I can't upload as I'm on my phone
Then use fastboot to flash it
here's the command
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Flash any rom with fastboot again without change twrp
Boot to recovery and select terminal
Type
ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/
And take screenshot all text holding simulate volume- and power button
Post the result

Re lock Bootloader on L09 [Fixed]

Hi there!
Today I just unlocked my Honor 8 FRD-L09. Which is having the latest build FRD-L09185 (B385) [Middel Eastern].
I installed custom recovery and root but I don't think I need them that much. So I unrooted the device and flashed stock recovery image. When I was trying to re-lock the bootloader it just didn't work. I got the following message. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Code:
...
FAILED (remote: password wrong)
finished. total time: 0.008s
So I Googled and came up with so many answers, I tried one of them but didn't work and on the other hand, I didn't get the rollback package on the HiHonor website of my country.
Can anyone please help me here

It's the recovery (stock one)
Just use the Marshmallow rollback package and flash the stock rom. Your bootloader will become locked on its own.
I tried to relock my Honor 8 before and it got myself in a bootloop that only took me to the e-recovery. Luckily, I was able to unlock the bootloader again via fastboot and reflash the whole thing.

Thx man for your help. waiting for slouthion
How long you use your unlock code? Seem in 14days not used, you can use this code. Try get new code from huawei, maybe it different with one you have
PS: it is a tips, but I things it will not work. Unlock code only work with stock recovery, that why you failed.
One thing you can, this is try to flash stock firmware. Maybe use twrp flash full OTA or dload (dload you say not work)
Try sideload via adb or anythings you can do.

How to LOCK BOOTLOADER (Easiest Way)

This is for Huawei Users
1. Install TWRP
2. Flash Any Custom Rom
3.Flash Stock Firmware via 3Button method (dload)
can't you just flash stock firmware via 3button directly? why must install twrp 1st? work for me everytime
is this the easiest way?
