Hi all,
I have an honor 8 that I really like but am super frustrated that I can't remove the lock screen. I have tried everything on these forums and read through the threads - no luck. Any other advice? The only thing that I haven't been able to do is set a backup pin for the fingerprint or pattern lock and then get around it that way. Any idea how I can do that? My phone just never prompts for a backup pin and I see no way of putting one in. This is driving me insane.
Thanks for the help.
Best,
Seth
Try this, do a pattern or pin unlock without fingerprint, then add a fingerprint

I just tried this and was able to add a fingerprint in fingerprint management. It then asks for backup pin and when I do the wrong fingerprint 5 times, I entered the in. Still didn't unlock the setting. So frustrating!

I think if we remove protection and set it to none then the option will come back on EMUI 5. I'm not sure though since I don't want it to wipe all my fingerprints.

Well you're updated.
I don't see anything else you might do.
The common solutions are try another card (formated to extFAT), try the card in another phone and factory reset.
Anyone noticed this bug where if you press the volume down or up the volumes adjust more than one press?
Yeah it's happening sometimes, I don't know why

I don't have it
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.

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.

I am on L04 in US and would like to use HiCloud to backup my phone except for the photo gallery. I have been using it for a while with my Huawei ID, but it stopped working in the recent 2 months. It keeps saying there is not enough space on the cloud, which it is not true as I have only used 40MB out of 5GB space. Does anyone know what is the issue? Maybe the service is not for people out of China? But you should be find HiCloud on Settings...

Yes I have. It looks like all your data is being backed up by google, that means its working already. You just need to login using your google Account to your device at the first boot and select the name of this device and that's it. You will get everything (except the app data)
i use high cloud for backup.
