hello guys... I want to unlock bootloader of my BLN-L21 model. I have a few questions before doing anything.
1. If I unlock BL on Marshmallow, will I be able to update to nougat through OTA UPDATE?
2. I have BL unlock code (Obtained through website selecting BEFORE EMUI5.0). Can I use the same code to unlock BL after updating to nougat?
3. I want to download official update package using Firmware Finder. It show 2 firmwares with same serial but one of them is MF and other one is MF-PV. What is the difference b/w the two?

1. Yes if you just unlocked the bootloader. Messisng with the system will render you unable to update.
2. Yes. But you will only need to unlock it once.
3. I'm not sure.

Yes dload is the easiest way if the Settings app is not alerting you of an update. Some users reported that flashing the firmware through TWRP doesn't work. But for me, I tried it before in Marshmallow and it worked. I do not recommend this though. Stick to dload. :highfive:

My settings app is telling me that update is available... Actually I want to dwnld the update package once and not through the settings app... As I'm going to install the custom rom so firmware is necessary for me...
Can the downloaded firmware (by updater app) be saved like downloading from firmware finder?

Actually I can't exactly remember. But yeah I think the update is saved in internal storage. Because once it's downloaded, you can either install it now or later. While downloading the update, check inside the dload folder or any other folder with HW in its name. Check if there is a file there that grows in size as the download progresses.

It means Factory Reset Protection lock. A security feature. To disable it, you have to fully reflash the whole firmware. Is it enabled for you?

Hi, as we know we dont have to unlock bootloader to rooting the phone. But on Honor 8 its only possible to have rooted phone by flashing supersu script by twrp.
So, anyway, you tried kingroot method? (Below link to download). Works on many phones. Then you can remove it by script to have supersu app.
Anyone to test?

I don't think one click root methods work for any newer phones since like Android 4.4 or maybe Android 5.0.
Anyway all you have to do is "fastboot oem relock bootloader xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (x represents your 14 digit unlock code you get from Huawei website) and your bootloader is relocked. Just remember every time you unlock or relock it factory resets your phone.

But when service will check the phone they will see bootloader status as relocked. So you will loss warranty.

Hello. I have BLN-AL30 running BLN-AL30C00B130 EMUI 5.0 Nougat and i want to unlock bootloader. I used the official way to get my unlock code but when i reboot to bootloader and type fastboot oem unlock <code> it simply says wrong password. I've tried both IMEIs and MEID but the site keeps giving the same code. I triple checked for typos and i'm 100% sure it's typed well. How do i proceed? Thanks in advance.

That's a thing that I've already seen on at least another thread between various help threads, if i don't remember bad the option could disappear if OEM unlock is leaved active before doing something else through adb/fastboot or meanwhile updating the software...

Absolutely not, pal. Check these screenshots. I'm on EMUI 5 and the OEM unlock option never disappeared on my phone. It's Italian language, but I'm sure that you remember the position of the option, is the 2nd one activated.

Yeah, if you leave that option deactivated and your phone gets hard-bricked, you can't factory reset the phone due to Factory Reset Protection. A tricky option indeed.
Hello Guys
I just got a M9 today. Reading here I see that the Android Oreo is available. My version is MHAL29. So, tried some methods to update but no success.
So, there is a way to update without unlocking bootloader ?! Like OTA or something like that

I don't think there's an offline firmware update zip like there is for the C636, which would basically reinstall your firmware. That's why I asked which version you were on.
If you can't find a way to resolve this then you could always rebrand to the C636 and it will reinstall your firmware in full
I'd try using firmware finder from the play store first and see if you can install an update using the proxy add-on, however, you'll need to get into system update to do this. Can you not even get into that from settings?
New firmware for C432 region is available for installation.
Any feedback?

As you know finally there is the MSM Tool for converting your T-Mobile branded OP7 Pro to international.
I have fully converted, downloaded the Android Q Developer preview and tried installing it via Local Upgrade has instructions said with no luck.
1. The .Zip file is in the root directory
2. The extension is .Zip and not .Jar
3. Local upgrade recognizes the .zip file but fails to install
Anybody has tried yet? This is what I get.

Yeah you need to unlock bootloader.
The page should have mentioned that as a requirement to flash betas.
Hopefully soon it will become better. But do let me know how it is . I'm pretty sure no one has actually flashed it and reported how the experience was.

You need to unlock the bootloader. I would wait until the next beta when OnePlus actually starts putting Oxygen OS features in. It's very bare right now a lot of the OnePlus stuff it either not working or missing all together.

I see, well I'm gonna do a little bit of research. If not then I'll wait till next update of the preview is available.

Yeah you need to unlock bootloader.
The page should have mentioned that as a requirement to flash betas.
Hopefully soon it will become better. But do let me know how it is . I'm pretty sure no one has actually flashed it and reported how the experience was.

Ah I see then. They didn't mention the bootloader must be unlocked. And you may need to flash with TWRP
I'll check later when I get home then and have my PC available.

I saw the video, but the one used on it was an originally International OP7 Pro.
I would love to hear from someone with the T-Mobile variant. Don't think there would be to much of a difference but it's worth trying.

If you flash the beta on the T-Mobile variant the it's the same beta as the unlocked device. You need to be bootloader and SIM unlocked and it will work the same as flashing the International OS or most custom ROMs
