Need help with relocking bootloader - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

So i unlocked my bootloader on my Huawei Honor 8 lite, because i thought that it would be fun. After i unlocked it i installed twrp and magisk. Apparently my google apps have stopped working so i installed open gapps, apparently they didn't work either. So i tried factory reset, format data via twrp, nothing worked. After that i realised i don't even have contact list or even cell app. I tried to relock it with fastboot gave me an error saying not allowed. So here i am wondering if i could get my phone back to stock.
Ps: i'm underaged and still live with my parents and i only had this phone for about two months and there is ALOT of pressure on me right now, to tell them. So basicly i'm in the verge of a panic attack, i know childish to panic about these things.

Can you download this app called Firmware Finder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder

did a big mistake bro, rooting some times broke connection to google apps , you can get connection back by simply adding hash in before ip address of hosts file in /emui using es file explorer or any root explorer .

U could try fixing this by flashing that older fimware but usually downgrading never works right. U'll probably have to take ur phone to a service center and have them fix it right up.

Bricked and not able to do anything

Hala!
This evening I was trying to use the dlad method. At the beginning I flashed the rollback package then I went to flash EMUI 4.1. While I was flashing EMUI 4.1 I forgot to disconnect my device from PC, so it took me to a different screen which is identical to the updating screen. I unplugged the wire and waited for a minute or two but nothing happened, so I forced it to restart again. Then I flashed dload successfully. Unfortunately, my phone got stuck on boot screen. :crying:Whatever I did after that nothing worked, I had vibration on phone, sometimes it also vibrated for twice or thrice at once and it restarted. The computer didn't detect the phone, I was not able to go to bootloader or recovery or reflash the firmware holding the 3 keys. So I waited for the battery and thought maybe I would get some luck but not worse. Whenever I connect it to the official Huawei charger the phone is not detecting it, so I am using a 1A charger now. Well, now it takes some juice from the charger but even if I don't touch my phone it's showing the boot screen. Now if I try to restart or maybe use load or boot to bootloader or recovery, it's showing no charge.
I don't want to contact Support. So help me if you have any idea about it.

So what it does is make ur device model FRD-L09. Honestly if u live in the US it doesn't make sense to do this. Rebranding is done for several reasons. To unlock bands to use in a different countries or to recieve quicker updatws.
