I was trying to flash an oeminfo file from a C432 on to my bln-l24 after flashing Elite 5.1. I mistakenly thought I could rename oeminfo to oeminfo.img and flash with twrp. Well, I did that, and now I have a brick. At first, all I could get to was erecovery, which would fail when I let it do its thing. I've tried to flash B360 back on it using the 3 finger method with no luck. I flashed to MM rollback package, which was successful but still would only boot to erecovery. I flashed the full MM package, which again was successful. However, not it just hangs on the blue honor screen after the boot animation. I can't do anything in fastboot without getting a Command Not Allowed message since I am FRP locked. Any ideas? Hopefully I'm not SOL....Thanks.
Flash boot.img
It's very simple, flash the boot.img of MM or Nougat if that is the one you successfully flashed. It should work. Don't freak out.

I can't. Everytime I try to flash something in fastboot, it says command not allowed
Download Huawei Multi Tools by Team MT
Download the above and use it to unbrick your phone ?
Just start your device in bootloader and run "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXX" with our unlocking code again.
Even if it states to be unlocked on the screen already.
Good luck!

Tried it, I get Command Not Allowed error message. I think the problem is I'm FRP locked as well, which interferes with a lot of fastboot commands. Thanks for the assistance though.
as you have flashed the OEMINFO of C432, you need to flash the update.app files for BLN-L21C432, available here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-successful-debranding-to-bln-t3701050
by any chance you are able to access TWRP now?
if the 1st method doesnt work then refer this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-unbrick-bln-l24-rollback-to-b310-t3695154
if not, then on DC Phoenix is your option. you can more info in multi tool thread under Honor 7 section.
Hi, I'm trying to root my Honor 8 device and install TWRP. However when I try to flash the TWRP file in ADB, I get this error message:
FAILED(remote not allowed). I have tried different versions of TWRP, the latest one and the one thats for Honor 8 on their site. I have unlocked bootloader. I don't understand what's happening. Can someone please explain this?
It's my first time rooting a device manually, so i dont know much. If you are able to, please refer to things in an easy manner.
Thanks in advance.

Yes i have unlocked the bootloader. I'm pretty sure i've already tried that version of TWRP, but i will try again tomorrow.
I always flash recovery using "fastboot flash recovery (file name)" so that's not the problem.

I think i might have found the problem.
When i go into bootloader it says FRP lock, i've looked around a bit, and i cant seem to figure out what it is and how i can unlock it.
If you know, how?

I had same problem. I successfully unlocked bootloader but after that I accidentally restored default settings in developer settings and oem unlock was ticked off and greyd out. Then I noticed the same FRP lock.
I had to relock and unlock the bootloader. Only after that I was able to flash twrp on my phone.
To relock you type "fastboot oem relock (unlock code)"
After that you can turn on "oem unlock" and "usb debugging"
And yes, It will wipe your data when relocking and again after unlocking so it takes some time. Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

Dc unlocker Progam for pc
Hi, so yeah i completely messed up my device lol. First i unlock my bootloader with the code from Huawei website, then i unlock the bootloader, rooted, etc. After that i use srktool to debrand my device while running emui 5.0.1, then the device restarted and erecovery prompted that my data partition was damaged. So i format it through the erecovery and then the erecovery searching for the firmware and didnt find one. Then i go into fastboot and the device was PHONE Locked and FRP Lock! i tried to unlock the bootloader again using my key and it failed. Can anyone here help me? thanks
(Sorry for my bad english)
Nvm, fixed. Thanks anyway
Hey XDA folks, today I've flashed oreo in l09c10b521 using TWRP and HuRupdater. In this process I've flashed HuRupdate.zip then all three files got flashed, unfortunately I formated data partition and rebooted. After reboot, phone didn't booted until I perform factory reset in stock recovery. Finally phone booted up but no Setup Wizard, no Gapps, only filemanger and some emui apps.
In Dev options OEM unlock option is faded/greyed out. Unable to flash anything in ADB
>> Is there any way so that I can go back to Nougat and use Gapps <<
If its not possible then how can I install Gapps?

Similar here with some differences. FRP-Locked, Phone unlocked, TWRP previously installed. I Can't install stock recovery because FRP locked. No Gapps, no keyboard, just some Huawei apps. OEM Unlock is grey, but bootloader unlocked.
The same happened to me, this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/firmware-huawei-honor-8-frd-l09-stock-t3696921 helped to rollback and everything works fine .

Same here.
First you have to dload the main firmware file, then the renamed vendor.

When you try this method, the bootloader and phone (FRP) in locked state? Or Bootloader unlocked?
My phone is just booting just to Stock recovery, eRecovery or fastboot, but the "OS" won't boot. If I restart, or power on my phone just boot to eRecevery. Now in the fastboot mode the bootloader and FRP in locked state.
All software install failed.
No luck over 5-6 hours. All firmwares I want to flash ended "Software installation failed". In FF I find a B407 rollback package from Oreo, but its still not approved yet
same here, does anyone know how to fix it?

Same? Won't booting and just recovery, erecovery or fastboot come up, frp and bootloader locked? Oh, and no luck for flashing any firmware?
I'm affraid, just the B407 rollback package bring back to life, but still not approved yet.

actually it boots, but i have an emui without google apps, and a greyed oem unlocking option, so i can't unlock
i ve same issue, frp and bootloader locked. all firmware stop at 5% no gapps and greyed oem setting (c10b521)
I do not know how to find the "magic" firmware that does not fail...
should you understand based on which criterion is installed the firmware, recovery version? version of the system? I have no idea
For locked FRP, you can relock the bootloader and after that unlock again. It unlocks the FRP again. Just write "relock" instead of "unlock".
And about the "not approved" packages, seems that Hurupdater doesn't care, it just installs.
But for some magic firmware, just download some way older firmware for dload installation. For me that always works on my L09C432, is 360.

Ok. Just one problem occured for Me: I do a bootloader relock, and this ended a not bootable OS, Relocked Bootloader and locked FRP. Just boot to eRecovery.

Just one problem with this: 360 is not a rollback package, so if you want to refresh (back) to this, just show You an "Installation Failed" message, and nothing more. So 360 just works if you want to refresh from a lower Nougat or MarsMallow build, or "rollback" from a higher build Nougat firmware.

You relocked, then unlocked, and it didn't unlock? Strange. I know atleast that the same unlock/relock commands work with nougat and oreo. I've done it a few times.
360 is a full package(FULLOTA-MF-PV) for my model. Other models have different package numbers.
You need to have a full package. Make a folder "dload" on root of an SD-card, with "update.app"-file in it. I have also the "meta-inf" and "full_mainpkg.tag" there, but i don't know if they are really needed. Then just boot the phone with power+volup+voldown and it should install.
No. I relocked the bootloader, but after that and the "automatic" factory reset the phone not boot to the os, just to the erecovery. So i can not change the "OEM unlock" option to unlock again the bootloader.
The install. I'l know the install method, but not work. Any package what 8 want to install ended (after 5%) a "software install failed". Ok. The 360 PV package is a good one, but this package not work, if you want to roll back from a higher master version, like oreo. This package just work if you in nougat, or MM.

Yes, but it s needed flash recovery patched first...
As long as it boots, yes you can repair. You must ask someone with frp UNLOCK to back up partition 'FRP'. Then they send this partition and you flash it (requires root) and now FRP is good in bootloader.

The device starts, but how do I flash the frp partition without root?
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
