Honor 8 OEM unlock grayed out but turn off. - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

So I probably screwed this up pretty bad. I unlocked the bootloader then installed twrp then installed RROS on my honor 8. Then I decided to be stupid and wanted to put the honor 8 back to stock. So I flash the stock recovery and then flash emui 5. Now if I go to the dev options the bootloader is grayed out but not selected. I've tried adb and fastboot to try and re-unlock the bootloader but it gives me a failure response. Anyone got any ideas?
Thank you in advance

fastboot oem relock 'passcode'

OnePlus 3 relocking bootloader

I was installed with Twrp and had rooted my oneplus 3.
I unticked root access in supersu.
Booted to bootloader and typed on my pc in command prompt ,"Fastboot oem lock"
This gave a confirmation on my device,I confirmed locking.
And after that my device did not booted up.I managed to get in bootloader again as I was not even able to open the recovery and unlocked the bootloader once again by this my device booted up.
I flashed stock recovery and repeated the relocking process,this time I was able to open recovery also but no able to boot up.
I again unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp back turned my device up.
Then I unchecked oem unlocking under developer options.
Relocked the bootloader once again.
And now I am stuck at bootloader,not able to unlock it even this time as I turned off oem unlocking.
Now I can only open bootloader.
Please help!

OEM locking a bootloader on a phone that was rooted is a big mistake.
You'll need to flash stock recovery, then flash the stock ROM via adb sideload.
Can be done with this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
Thanks for reply

I can't access it as I am installed with TWRP Recovery as it is also not starting.

Downgrade

So I updated my FRD-L04 to the Nougat Beta, and while I was following the instructions and Flashesd the Update. For some reason I lost TWRP and cant boot into recovery, my bootloader is unlocked.....however in developer options OEM Unlock is grey out and i cant enable it.... So when ever i try to run a command through fastboot it says is not allow.... and when i try ti re-lock the bootloader i get FAILED (remote: root type is risk)... I try to roll back package from Huawei website but that also fails..... Now i dont know what to do.
I am in the same boat. Did the new beta via twrp. My usb debug was greyed out but i was able to to get it to turn on for short moments.
I have now lost twrp and now the phone wont even boot the the Android 7 beta os!
I have fastboot but when i try to fastboot flash system or cust they both fail. My bootloader is still unlocked tho.
edit: I downloaded the beta flashable zip and the update that is seperate. I took out the boot recovery cust and system from them and was able to flash them via fastboot. The phone now boots back to the android 7.0 beta. Phew!!!!!
Now to attempt downgrade to 6.0 adn get twrp back
You should look for a downgrade package
Since you have lost TWRP, I think you will have to reinstall it and root your device again.

I tried thta multiple times, but when i flash recovery it says its not allow, again i think is because i can enable oem unlock on settings

Like I mention on my initial post I have already tried the downgrade package..but it does not work. I can't enable oem unlock since is grayed out ... my boot loader is unlock and I can't use the phone but NFC Bluetooth etc does not work.. I even tried to flash the downgrade package recovery and boot image through fast boot but it's not allow since I can't enable oem unlock...
I'll research a bit and see If I can find something

Honor 8 FRD-L09 Can't flash TWRP FAILED (remote not allowed)

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:

Please see my post. May make it help or not.

Question Allow oem unlocking option missing in developer options

So, i recently flashed arrow os 12.1 on my poco x4 pro (veux) using twrp. Flashing the rom removed twrp and now i cant flash it back because fastboot says that my bootloader is locked...
Of course, it isn't and the problem is that allow oem unlocking isn't on... I really would appreciate some help because i've been stuck on this rom for a day.
Gonna wait for some answers, thank you.
In the first place, flashing the rom shouldn't relock your bootloader. Can you please reboot to fastboot mode and use mi unlock tool with the same account you used to unlock bootloader first time.

Thank you for your response. Sadly i already tried that and the tool says that the phone is unlocked.
I'm trying to reflash stock rom via EDL mode, but i always get some error.
By the way, when using fastboot getvar command, it says that my bootloader is locked.
So, i recently bought a poco x4 pro (veux) and flashed a custom rom using twrp. Sadly, the rom's recovery managed to overwrite twrp and when i tried to flash twrp back, i could not flash it because fastboot said my bootloader wasn't unlocked. When i tried to unlock the phone again the xiaomi tool said that the bootloader was already unlocked. So, i used the getvar command which said that my bootloader was locked. So, i remembered that i didnt turn on allow oem unlocking in developer options. Sadly, when i looked for it the setting wasn't there. I tried using Edl mode to go back to stock but with no success. I always get some failed to read hello packet error. Can someone give me any help? Im kinda getting desperate...

Go to service centre if it is critical. I have never seen such case so i couldn't help. I am afraid that you would have to pay the service centre people money for reflashing your device.
Also have you tried flashing fastboot ROM (MIUI) through fastboot? Also try to flash stock recovery rom via the recovery you have now currently.
Another thing you could try is using the Xiaomi official flashing utility (which is not unlock tool) to flash stock rom which does not require OEM unlock.
