I have a honor 8 and dont want to unlock the boot loader, I would like root to be able to boost the volume by editing the XML file. I have my boot loader unlock code already, but had issues trying to root last time, ended up with my phone stuck on the honor logo, I had to use the rollback package to restore stock recovery, then install the update.app from SD card, doing this automatically changed my bootloader status to "LOCKED" and not relocked.
hopefully there will be a way to root without all the hassle of unlocking the bootloader etc.

When i did the OTA update, the device is bootlooping. Unfortunately i dont have an unlocked bootloader and have no way of unlocking it as the phone needs to restart to unlock the bootloader. It still stays locked after go to fastboot mode again. I have the stock image from google but have no way of flashing it. Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader without having to restart?
The bootloader relocks itself after reboot? If it does, the emmc is defective and cannot be repaired by reflashing a stock rom or custom rom.
I tried to use this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108 to rebrand my mate 9 and I was able to unlock my bootloader before I started this tool and no problems there. Next I open the tool and went in and followed all the steps without problems all the way down past rebranding and to the step where I have to unlock my bootloader again. This time, FRP engaged and doesn't let me go past - I am stuck: i cannot reboot into the system to change any settings. At this point I tried a variety of methods, erecovery and funky huawei, they both end up saying getting package info failed. Now I am stuck. I cannot boot into the OS, it just kicks me straight into erecovery and erecovery isn't doing much recovery at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

you need to relock bootloader, after it phone is resetting. then you need to unlock it, install TWRP , then you need to reflash a COMPLETE backup from MHA-AL00C00 or MHA-L29C626. Then restore to this. This is the only working solution. maybe i will create a backup from AL00

the bootloader is locked, or so says the fastboot screen along with FRP which is why i cannot unlock the bootloader to install TWRP...
Need Warning
I think this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108) should add some warning.
I meet the same problem today.

That makes three of us. I ended up with the same problem after getting to step E in the rebranding. I'm no stuck not being able to unlock my bootloader as it says Phone locked in green and FRP lock in green. OEM unlocking option is greyed out in developer options
before i found a solution i hardbricked my mate 9, but it works for soft bricked mate 9 too https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/solution-19-00-fix-hardbricked-huawei-t3750315 i was in the same situation, thats how i fixed it, just follow steps from how to use the DC-phoenix tool with Factory Firmware file, update.app and hw.app
Now I'm in the same situation
After rebranding my Honor View 10 BKL AL20 to BKL L04, it can't boot into system and frp locked oem locked. Erecovery says getting package info failed.
I was wondering if there is a way to disable the warning screen or relock the bootloader while keeping the root and recovery.
Everytime i try it it say it can no longer find a valid operating system.
plain and simple, not there is no way for our phones. if your bootloader is unlocked, the warning screen will always show and your bootloader must be unlocked in order for magisk to run and root to be allowed.
Currently no. The reason is that to have root, you have to have a patched boot image, and to have a patched boot image, you need to be able to have an unlocked bootloader to allow flashing of /boot from recovery. "Locked" rooting would involve an exploit that would undoubtedly get fixed quickly. Also, keep in mind that the Pixel 2/XL do not have dedicated recovery partitions, but that recovery itself also resides in /boot.
I know there are many posts about unbricking Honor 8 but any of them couldn't help me.
I have FRP AND Bootloader locked :crying:
I had RROS and fingerprint scanner wasn't working because off I hassled with some system files so I wanted to reset my phone. I tried to use dload but it only locked my bootloader and I don't maybe have the code (I'll still try to find it).
So for now I don't have any OS to boot to but I can get to eRecovery (which can't help me) and to force download mode (via three buttons method) and also to fastboot/ rescue mode (where it says phone locked, frp lock) so what I should do?
I have the same problem, Bootloader locked, FRP Locked, phone bricked, erecovery can't find a software, recovery sdcard say all software is incompatible with this device. I had FRP locked, bootloader unlocked and phone unbricked, I read on some thread to unlock FRP i have to lock bootloader and unlock again. Now I'm completely locked.
Few minutes ago I lost 15 credits on DC-Unlocker to know that is for unbricked devices only.
What can I do now?

I survived! But because Huawei is *can't say it here*, I can't root it with magisk and twrp anymore.
I did this:
1. put rollback package to ext. sdcard /dload (and /dload must be in the root of sdcard)
2. Put sdcard into the phone and press all three buttons (vol up + vol down + power) and it will install the rollback package.
3. Shut down the phone and remove sdcard
4. Replace the rollback package with the full ota package.
5. Do same as in step 2 so it will install Android
6. Now you have working phone with locked bootloader
What version of EMUI you had before brick, mine is EMUI 8, what rollback i should use?

hey man you can use Multi Tools V8 . in this tools go unbrick option and do it
i have same issue .how to connect device with multitools v8 .because device stuck on (your device is booting now) not goto in fastboot.
I upgraded to the Note 20 ultra and I want to relock my OnePlus 8 5G bootloader for resale. I did unlock the sim as it was originally for TMobile. But when I recently relocked the bootloader it basically was soft bricked, and wouldn't boot past some weird error message about something corrupt. When I unlocked the bootloader again that message went away and it booted fine. One issue is that it won't take an ota it keeps failing to even download. I've tried many times. Not sure what's up with it, but if there is a way to relock the bootloader and have it boot and update the ota I'd be much appreciative.

follow these steps:
1. backup your persist.img file
2. use unbrick tool to recover the phone to an orignal version
3. upgrade to the newest version through OTA
4a. if the fingerprint works, it works all done.
4b. if the fingerprint sensor is abnormal, unlock your phone and flash persist.img, then relock your phone. There will be a series of wiping data during your lock/unlock operation.
