Just got a FRD-AL00, whoever there is no OEM Unlock option in the developer menu. What does this means?
I'm still waiting for my Huawei codes since I don't have the phone registered to the Huawei ID in more than 14 days. So I don't know if the bootloader unlock will work without that option.
I also just got this phone and there is no 'oem unlock ' option in developer settings.. Anyone know what the deal is here?
I dont have the OEM Unlock option either. Same case.. I have the honor 8 frd-al00, but my chinese version is already updated to android 7 y emui 5.
All the honor 8 tutorials require that this option should be enable.
So.. what we can do? how we can solve this? I already receive my code for the unlock.
I want to root and debrand the frd-al00 to the international version al09, mentioned here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
But without this option I cant do it.

Not very good idea...
Phone get unstable in short time with this rebrand made... After watch video or photos in short time applications stop to run...
It will not work good, i had this experience and after all had to go back to AL00...
And it was not only me, on 4pda.ru forum a lot of such cases, so better think twice...

I already have the code as I mention.. but not sure what are you saying.. this mean that even without enabling that option i can make the unlock? but not sure if something bad may happen if the OEM unlock option in disable, and like I said.. that option it does not appear in the development menu, I can find the debugging usb option, but not the other. Some al00 has this OEM unlock option, but not all, maybe depends on the update I get.. my phone auto update to emui 5.0 and android 7.

you did the same steps that the link guide I quote?
If rebrand is not an option.. then my other options are not good either, because I read that all mods had reboot issues and some other problems.. they dont have the camera apps either, just a basic picture app who does not take a good advantage of double lens system.
So.. what we can do if we have the al00? I just want to use voice search commands (not chinese commands).

If u in EMUI 5.0, u must rollback to 4.1, use this method. It's worked with my Honor 8. I think u can.

Is any way to debrand without the emui 4.1, I have emui 5.0, my honor 8 is frd-al00, I cant find the rollback file for emui 4.. I find one for frd-al09 from 5 to 4.1, but that is the european version..
I have the bootloader code, but I can not activate the oem unlock option because it does not appear in my development tools, you told me that I have to go back to 4.1, but I have no idea how to do that.. or when I can find the file to do it..
Any advice.. ? What happen if I use the rollback file for the frd-al09?

u can use Hisuit to go back to EMUI 4.1.
Or may try go to fastboot, unlock bootloader in fastboot? Maybe it work. Shutdown Honor, hold volume down + connect ur device to PC via USB cable. Then u try to unlock, if not, the only way is EMUI 4.1.

I was able to rollback to 4.1 with hisuite, and I manage to unlock bootloader and install twrp.
I made a backup of all my files, then download the frd-al09432b131, (my phone is frd-al00 which also has 4gb - 32gb), I unzip the firmware and I place it in the ssd card under the folder dload. (not sure if only the update.app file should be in it, or also the other folders like meta-inf and oeminfo, I try with both).
Then from the twrp I did a format data and I wipe data once. Then I shutdown the phone.
press volume up +down+ power until the update starts to run..
But..
At 5%, a alert come up saying:
------------------
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
(reboot system now)
------------------
But well, I dint reach so far to resign now.. I am downloading a new firmware from the honor site:
Honor 8 Firmware(FRD-L09, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B131, United Kingdom)
I hope this work... or I may be doing something wrong?
Edit: still happen with the new firmware that I download, not sure what to do.. I need supersu for this?

because I want to rebrand my phone.
a friend mine bought it for me in China, I didnt know it would be so different in software without google voice search.
So reading guides from this forum, I saw 3 rebrand guides, from chinese version to the similar version of europe (which seems to be the global), I am from Argentina.
I cant post the link of the guides because I am still newbie in this forum.

Some context:
My MHA-L29C432B138 with TWRP got an OTA update on the phone itself, and I wanted to update (it wanted me to update to B182).
Since I had TWRP replacing the stock recovery I could not flash it through the normal way, so I went ahead to replace TWRP with the stock recovery so I could update.
I was unable to flash the stock recovery since I had no access to flashing in fastboot (FRP Lock, PHONE Unlocked, OEM unlocking option greyed out in developer settings), so I attempted to relock so I could unlock again, hoping that would solve my issue (fastboot oem relock KEY).
By doing this my phone went into a reset, now I'm stuck at FRP Lock, PHONE Relocked, and I can only access the bootloader and eRecovery.
eRecovery is attempting to download updates but fails every time, and I can't use HiSuite to do a system recovery neither (says my device is not supported).
So this is where I'm stuck, any help would be nice!

Try to unlock after this.
This does low-level format.
My device: Mate 9 supersu B190 Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)
Everything in fastboot (flashing, locking, unlocking) was unavailable, eRecovery was not working, HiSuite said my device was not supported, and dload didn't work neither (tried 3 different firmware versions).
After spending 1-2 hours on Telegram with others I ended up using funkyhuawei with eRecovery, only thing that worked for me.
Last time I buy a Huawei device for sure, their own services don't even work (eRecovery, HiSuite).

As I said here, for your case the patched HiSuite method would have worked. But it's too late now, you paid, I was in holidays.. I know it's a shame that HiSuite says unsupported or erecovery not working but you could have made your phone compatible by writing some text in a file and using Lucx's script instead of paying funkyhuawei, their service never worked for me.

Ive been at this for 3 days straaaiiighhhtttt trying to figure out how to either:
Relock My bootloader
--OR--
Disable FRP
my mate 9 was bought last week, and i want to root it. my bootloader status is showing unlocked but the FRP is showing as locked. in Dev settings the OEM option is grayed out probably from the previous user doing a factory reset.
ive been skimming through this whollle forum, ive seen people say use "fastboot oem relock", " SRKToolHuawei-Lod-Chong-V2.0", "fastboot oem google unlock", or "flash the stock firmware"
In all my life of android rooting, ive never been so confused.
I just need someone to tell me how Im able to either relock my bootloader so I can unlock it again and remove the frp or disable the frp in its current locked state.
the fastboot oem commands dont work, and yes ive tried it with my unlock pw, i tried the SRK tool and that doesnt work either, i keep getting that status failed error. Ive seen people who have had success. so im sure SOMEONE knows how to get me where i need to be lol Please HALP!
Mate 9 (Not the pro) MHA-L29
Try: remove current pin, fingerprints, Google account. Reboot. Check if you can enable oem unlocking now in Dev settings.

Hmm. Actually, you did use the command:
fastboot oem relock xxxxxx
Where xxxxxx is your bootloader unlock code
?
Edit: ah, you used your unlock pw already, which I assume is your bootloader unlock code .
You could actually try adding your Google account again and see if that enables oem unlocking in Dev options...

Install using Firmware Finder. It's just more likely you'll be able to flash B167. B190 is kind of new.
It's like this. Huawei pushes an update to their server. A few weeks later they start approving IMEIs for update.
Edit: It's called In-app proxy in Firmware Finder. I have not used it. I've only updated using Firmware Finder for windows and changing routers dns to match Firmware finders IP.

You can't dload. Almost no Mate 9 firmware is approved for offline installation..
It's either Firmware Finder or FunkyHuawei(cost money to use, should be last resort).
And since you can't install twrp, rebranding to a dload firmware is not an option (AL00C00 and C636)

Using the in-app proxy? I thought you could actually apply it after downloading, but apparently it has to go through System Update...
Open Firmware Finder in your phone,
Tap on/Search for your firmware and on the one you want (FullOTA MHA-L29C567B167).
Tap on "In-App Proxy". Tap on OK.
Go to your phones Settings - Wifi.
Long-press on your current Wifi connection. Tap "Modify Network".
Check "Show advanced options".
Tap "Proxy", tap on Manual.
Set Proxy hostname to "localhost" (without quotes)
Set Proxy Port to "8080" (without quotes)
Tap Save.
Now go to Settings - System Update - "Check for Update".
It should now find the B167 update, let it download and install.

Hi, I have a honor 8 that bootloops I can only access to fastboot not in bootloader or recovery. Bootloader is locked, i can't flash anything and i can't unlock it because I don't have the Product ID. The dload and three fingers method doesn't work. What can I try to unbrick it? I can't even turn it off.

Which number of firmware you tried via dload??
Which firmware number you were on before issue??
When you say that the dload method doesn't work, what do you get when you try it ? You have to flash the proper firmware for your phone, otherwise it will deny it, you can maybe use a rollback package.
Try the Huawei tool ... U can fix it easily and you can play around don't panic it's the first thing ...

I tried one firmware via dload but the phone doesn't even detect anything there isn't any error it just keeps rebooting. The firmware i need to install is FRD-L09C432B131.

When you say that the dload method doesn't work, what do you get when you try it ? You have to flash the proper firmware for your phone, otherwise it will deny it, you can maybe use a rollback package.

Maybe you are doing it wrong. As long as you have a stock boot.img and a stock recovery you should be able to use this method.

If you mean Hisuite I already tried it. my PC detects the phone and hisuite launches by itself but then doesn't detect any phones. when I try the rescue tool "resuce mode enter..." appears on the screen but then hisuite says that the phone isn't compatible with the rescue mode.

I think he doesn't mean hisuite but Huawei multi-tool, which is available on xda forums and enable to recover from a brick

Alright I think this is a good point , now that you can use the dload method you need to know under which EMUI version you were because the phone won't accept a firmware that is lower or to high compared to your actual EMUI version.
What I did when I was in your case is flashing a rollback package downloaded from honor official site and then flash an old EMUI which is under Android 6.x.
After a few tries you can make it, I hope I've been clear, English isn't my native language

Thanks a lot for your help but I don't really know how but while I was trying to go back to the erecovery menu the phone just boot up and it worked. I did a factory reset because the phone was a bit laggy and now it works.
Lol everything's alright then

Ok here i go ... Open the Huawei tool ... And follow steps to install TWRP ...turn of the phone , once it's off hold the volume button down then connect the phone to the PC that would take to some type of fastboot ! Flash recovery the 2 option .... Reboot into TWRP .. from the Huawei tool u would see and option of stock i think there u can copy the recovery OEM info system and boot option flash them all one by one .... Reboot the phone ... And you would be redirected to recovery from WiFi and now it would work since u flash the OEM info now the phone knows what to look for u won't get the getting info failed ... And that's it just makes sure u have a good stable WiFi connection ...
And like a said the more calm and relax u do these the better the first time I screw the phone I almost get a heart atack :crying: it's easy
Unable to get Product ID - Honor 8

Which number of firmware you tried via dload??
Which firmware number you were on before issue??
Click to expand...

My Honor 8 broke after it downloaded and installed the very first update. Since the failed 'update' I am NOT able to access Android at all. The phone was stuck on the Huawei eRecovery screen which fails to connect via wi-fi and is unable to connect or retrieve any information from the server to update and repair the phone. I was able to use a 'roll-back' package and install the stock firmware (FRD-AL10), but since I have done the roll-back and restored the stock firmware the phone boots to the first screen where you select your 'Region', then the 'Language', WiFi connection, Agree to the Terms & Conditions, then skip the following steps for Cloud and something else - after all this it goes back to the 'REGION' selection screen, then again the Language selection screen and so on - it just loops and never boots into Android.
Thus I am unable to get the Product ID, the unlock code, etc.
The phone is still locked and UNrooted as all the other solutions rely on the phone being UNlocked and Rooted - but since I DON'T have access to Android I cannot do anything with the phone.
Can someone help me to retrieve the Product ID from an essentially 'DEAD' Honor 8 phone??

I have followed this 'dload' process to load the stock 'FRD-AL10 - ...C00B135' onto my Honor 8, it completes successfully then the phone reboots to where I have to select the Region, then Language, then WiFi, then agree to the Agreement, etc.. then the phone 'loops' back to the Region, Language, WiFi, selection and everything from start.
Is there a way to get past this 'loop' to the point where the phone actually boots into Android?? I cannot access the Product ID, unlock or root the phone.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Guys! Hello again... I'm still blocked with android 8.1 on elm29 sp5c900. I understand that c900 is global, Huawei still tells me that an update will come soon, but nothing. Erecovery doesn't find nothing on server and hisuite doesn't help me at all. Now the question... Is there a problem if I download an update file from firmware finder and install it with forced update (power plus volume buttons)? Can I brick the device, since I don't have a backup file or original software

Firmware downloaded through Firmware finder won't install via forced update, you can use service ROM (download though androidhost dot ru) and place it on usb OTG and force it. Or you can use patched Hisuite method to update https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146/page132
Yes it can brick, anything can happen but very unlikely, just backup your device through Hisuite before trying that if you want to keep your personal data(won't back up firmware, only apps, contacts etc.)
C900 hw/normal does not get any update.
Just force some updated base via dload package or via forced hisuite with dns spoofed.
Thanks for your answers! So... The steps will be... 1. Download "update full base. app"
2. Place it on root folder in dload folder
3. Update it via forced update (power button plus both volume buttons)
I've found on firmware finder update.app file. This works via dload method?

For dload, you ll have to use an USBOTG, exfat formatted.
On 8.1, Use a 9.0 dload's update.app .
Once on 9.0, use a 9.1 dload's update_sd.zip
Alternative is to use forced hisuite.-If so uodzte first to 9.0 then 9.1.

Thanks a ton. I will try with dload. Is more simple
Forced hisuite doesn't work! Gives me only update to android 8.0. Firmware finder on pc doesn't give me my version sp5c900, so I can't download any firmware. Now I don't trust FF on phone neither. What if this gives wrong firmware, since my emui version is not suported. ****

Thx a lot #oslo for advices
I've spoked (finally) with someone from Huawei on chat, and after verifying my serial number she told me that my phone is a demo version. F%$&. So, no Android 9 for me. Still, my phone works flawlessly. Since I'm stuck on 8.1 I want to root it and play a little more. Can you give me an idea how to root it? Thanks

First, is this device is with an unlocked bootloader ? (and/or do you have the unlock code ?)
To check bootloader/phone status, boot to fastboot/bootloader mode :
Plug device to PC with Hisuite, reboot P20 and Hold volumeDown on P20 until it boot on white screen ;
What is your Phone status ?
Sorry for late response. Bootloader is locked.
"phone locked.
FRP UNLOCKED"
And I don't have bootloader code.
So you won't mind that dload packages are locking back bootloader as it is already locked...
