Honor8 custom ROM FRD-L09C900B120 United kingdom.

Hi everyone. I've unlocked the bootloader on my honor8 dual SIM UK version and I tried to activate android pay and it won't let me since the device is not trusted anymore coz of the bootloader being unlocked I was wondering if I could relock the bootloader so that I can start using the android pay. I was told by someone that if I flash MY device with the the custom ROM namely ( FRD-L09C900B120 ) EMUI 4.1 android version it should work for u. To be honest I completely forgot how I unlocked the bootloader in the first place. The problem is that I can't find the file mentioned above anywhere. If u think that I need to use a different method to achieve what I'm actually after I would definitely give it a go. Just need someone to guide me. Thanks in advance.

Pls tell me to update emui 8 on my phone

I don't know what to do update emui 8 because bootloader is lock and I can't unlock bootloader tell me please. ?
Now that bootloader unlock isn't supported by Huawei you can only rely on using some third-party services like DC Phoenix, the cost is something about 4€. Sadly if you don't have a code you need to get one in way to install EMUI 8.
What's your build number?

Ok, here's what you have to do: first of all, unlocking bootloader is mandatory in way to proceed to next steps.
Then, you have to debrand your device to the correct variant, BLN-L22C675XXXX, following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402
And last, once debranded you can update to EMUI 8 following steps listed here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317
Just pay a lot of attention and make things with calm, in way to avoid unpleasant issues. Good luck and happy flashing

In need of Huawei Multi-Tool v7 zip

Hi, is there someone who can share this tool to me? I will use it so I can backup/restore my own oeminfo. I am planning to debrand my BLN-L21C185 (middle east variant) to BLN-L22C675 (Indian variant) using shashank1320's guide to be able upgrade the phone to oreo . There's a link in the guide but it's multi-tool v8 which has no capability, I think, of changing vendor/region.
You may probably suggest that I may need to use the TWRP backup function, but I am afraid that this might not work in case I mess up and lost the TWRP while I'm debranding the phone.
Thanks in advance.
i cant create my own post. can i ask u how to unlock bootloader in 2019?
As far as I know, you could only unlock the bootloader using a third party. dc-phoenix is called I believe. Unfortunately, it's not free. Luckily, I got my unlock code before Huawei ended their service for unlock code of boatloader. Click this for details.
Can you share Bootloader code for BLN-L21, it would be much appreciated. May be it may work for me

Help!

Hi guys, can my device code l29C10 (russian market) be able to load c432, c185 or c636 codes from other markets? Can my device become a brick?
You cannot change region, you need root access and with the bootloader locked, you cant. Sorry for the bad news. I think the last one i changed was a Mate 10 pro from Chinese to EU just before the bootloader access was stopped by Huawei.

How To Guide [Soft Unbrick] How to Flash the Stock Firmware in Realme GT Neo 2 [bitra][Fastboot Mode]

Update> Currently I recommend this method only for unbrick, if you are going to change regions or install stock use this new method: Here
>> Need bootloader unlocked <<
If you want to unbrick or flash stock, you must download the package corresponding to your device and RUI version
1. Download the .zip package and extract the .ofp file
​Packages:​​India​​RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.07: Download​RUI 3.0 Android 12 C.03: Download​​---------------​​Europe​​RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06: Download​RUI 3.0 Android 12 C.02: Download​---------------​​China​​RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06: Download​​---------------​​Russia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and other regions​​RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.02: Download​RUI 3.0 Android 12 C.02: Download​---------------​
2. Download and Install OppoRealme-OFP-Flash Tool: Here
3. Place the extracted .ofp file in the same folder as the program.
4. Run OppoRealme-OFP-Flash
5. When running if you have placed only one .ofp file in the folder it will automatically select it.
6. Choose the region you want to install, if you don't know you can search on google country code, or go in automatic mode by adb (if your cell phone isn't bricked).
7. Then it will ask if you want to keep some partitions (if you're doing it for bootloader lock you can't keep any).
8. Accept the terms and then plug the device into fastboot mode.
9. Done!
Note: after this process if you want to lock the bootloader, restart again in fastboot mode and type the command "fastboot flashing lock"
At last! Thank you! Will try it as soon as I have some free time to do it!
One quick question please. So let's say I want to go from Europe to India rom. I need to unlock bootloader and start the process you described. Do I need to take backup any partition in order not to lose IMEI or something? And after flashing to relock bootloader only type "fastbook flashing lock"? Some people were saying there is no official method to relock the bootloader again that's why I'm asking.

almost that, you don't lose the imei, you lock the bootloader I've already tested and proven it, but I don't recommend doing it without the rom that comes on your device.if you want to test, but it can happen hardbrick.

You mean lock the bootloader with the rom that my device has already? So if it's europe it has to stay europe and do the lock if I understand correctly.

That's right, I don't know if blocking with a system from another region would work, it could even work, but it's risky to test, only if you have 10usd to pay for the hard unbrick.

Listen, the thing is that I wouldn't even bother to test another rom. I already have made a thread here asking for some help because I have problem with incoming caller ID on 4G/5G with VoLTE enabled. Since no solution has been found, even after contacting Realme, the next thing to try was another (stock always) rom to see if it would work. If I would try to change rom I have to be VERY careful because there are absolutely NO service centers of Realme in my country. That's why I'm asking these questions. I want to know how safe is to "transfer" from another rom and if it is posible to return to my stock rom again with locked bootloader.

It's with my tool, it's totally safe, and it's easy to return to your region of origin, she has some protection so that nothing serious happened.

Thank you man. Totally appreciate your effort. Just to be clear one last time. You can do w/e test you want by changing roms/regions with unlocked BL and then after if you want to return your phone to what it was from factory you flash again your initial rom and lock BL.

correct
great work thank you
Sorry if I may ask for clearer steps. The steps is kinda vague like you did not mention anything that need to be prepared from the device. And, if we change to another region rom, do we get future OTA official update form realme? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your reply. One more thing, for other region, does it come with Google? Mine was chinese rom and want to see if changing region will get Google service preinstalled. And, can you help me to check the Widevine level as well. Hope I'm not bothering you
