I had the stock rom rooted but i decided to check cyanogenmod13 for honor 8
I downloaded cyanogen and i procedeed to flash it with twrp.. all well.. it installed and it was booting
I was greeted with "To start android enter password" I had no lockscreen like pin or password beforehand
I tried to do a factory reset but that did not fix it.
I tried to use format data option in twrp but that did not work either.
This only happens in cyanogenmod because if i install another rom it will prompt me to setup the device like normally.
What can I do about this and how could I fix it?... any help would be appreciated.
Easy fix.

Hello. I had the exact issue with Honor 8 (FRD-L09) and CM13.
Easy fix is to flash this TWRP recovery, which is intended for CM for Honor 8, then Wipe Data and re-flash the ROM again.
Link to recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69622547
Just flash it as an image in TWRP, no need to do it via adb..
Hope this helps
Hello, today while trying to get back to stock i wierdly bircked my honor 8
I flashed the stock recovery and stock boot img
Then i flashed a rollback package and a marshmallow package which i used for this same thing before.
Now the phone didnt start for a solid 30 minutes and ive decided to reflash the rollback and marshmallow package, but after i flashed the rollback got stuck at the boot logo, not even the stock bootanimation showing up.
The phone doesnt reboot neither in any of the recoveries nor in bootloader.
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay so after all of this i managed to reboot to bootloader and get my hands on one of my previous unlock codes. So now ive got an unlocked bootoader, but after fashing twrp the phone is stuck at the 'your device is booting now' when im trying to get in it
I thing you have flashed the wrong TWRP, check for the latest version or at least the one for your build
uh well, hello there again.
i've tried to do the dload method which failed(i used lots of versions tho none worked)
and i've tried flashing marshmallow twrp, which at the moment, well, it cannot mount anything. no partition can get mounted.
Does any of you guys have an idea of what i could try?
thanks in advance
Does it mean that you have access to TWRP ? if TWRP cannot mount a partition, go into mount section, tick system, data, boot, vendor and then reboot to TWRP again. Then try your previous operation. If it cannot mount data, go into wipe, advanced wipe, and click on format data, then restart TWRP and try again
seems like i somehow broke the partition table, cause it shows every storage as 0 mb and mounting isn't available, cant tick the option. Looks like i will have to find some service center to repair it by my own cost, by the end of the month. Though im giving it around the 25th so i got some more time till then, so maybe i find some solution to this problem.
Hey, so I managed to make the phone work again.
I have flashed boot cust recovery recovery2 and system from the italian marshmallow firmware, then I flashed that same firmware using dload method(tho it failed at 99%)

You tried only once? Maybe you should now try to flash TWRP recovery and restore a backup made by TWRP. I can provide you one but for FRD-L09, not another. Another method would be to flash the rollback package and then retry flashing an EMUI 4.X ROM (dload method for both), hope you'll figure it out
I think i expressed myself wrong.
That was how i got the phone to work.
Oh lol I misunderstood because of the "it failed at 99%" and I thought the phone wasn't rebooting , no matter I'm glad you succeeded
So i managed to upgrade via hwota7. Emui 5(elite rom) to emui 8. I ran into bit of problem like didnt flash oeminfo but managed to run emui 8. After it booted i flashed openkirin LOS 15. I dont know how it got twrp , maybe because i tried flashing oeminfo via hwota8. LOS booted but asks for password. So i flashed hurupdater on twrp but didnt fix it because data didnt mount. Now im stuck on emui recovery, downloading firmware via erecovery doesnt seem to work, even dload method doesnt work. It seems data partition is corrupted. Please help.
did you have access to twrp? if not then flash this stock recovery then do factory reset reboot your los will boot fine if its still not booting then flash los again via fastboot then do factory reset it will boot https://mega.nz/#!cbJFAIQD!qvp1KnZ0qxlg6nHDFmpM5qyZ9QUVIDe5PoZE0BQf8fs
Spend the whole day looking through websites such as Magisk and TWRP as well as bunch of YouTube videos. I have unlocked the bootloader via DC Unlocker (Paid $4.50). For the most part, I have Magisk Manager installed but have no idea how to get Magisk itself installed via a boot image from their website.
Specs on Magisk shows Ramdisk: Yes, A/B: No, SAR: No.
Skipping that part, I did try a few of the img files on TWRP for Huawei Honor 8. Used the Minimal ADB and Fastboot steps. On the last step to "adb reboot recovery", it gets stuck on the loading screen and never reaches the TWRP screen. Any idea?
My end goal is to only use this phone for spoofing on Pokemon Go. That's all.

Thank you for the reply. I actually did stumble on the Android 7 link that you just posted. Though it's a complete mess now. After many more hours of trying to follow up guides, I did get TWRP recovery to work and to get there I always have to use the command on ADB. Following another guide I did get SuperSU to install. Then the bad news was Pokemon Go doesn't work with SuperSU and only Magisk. Though I haven't been able to get Magisk to work prior to trying SuperSU.
Then I tried Magisk-v23.0.zip again and I got the TWRP 1 Error. Probably the only way to fix it would be to unroot SuperSU and then try Magisk again. Not sure what I did next but phone keeps automatically booting into TWRP recovery (unable to boot to regular ROM, I did not backup or know how to backup).
Looking through the ROM forums with no experience, I assumed I just need to flash any of the ROMs for Honor 8 and then restart and see if I can get Magisk to work. Unfortunately, I tried a few such as: ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20170106-frd, aicp_frd_n-12.1-UNOFFICIAL-20170704 but none were flashing correctly (I think something about MD5).
Unfortunately, now when I boot up phone (see the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen), then it stays pitch black. Usually it would start up the phone afterwards or in the recent case was directly to TWRP recovery. I sort of gave up for now.

Some of the roms for Honor 8 does not give like a custom Vendor partition. You should use this rom
[ROM][7.1.2][OpenKirin's RROS v5.8.4 For Honor 8 ][ Update 12/08/2017 ]

forum.xda-developers.com
Make sure you download the one that says "Full Version" 5.8.3, because it installs a custom Vendor partition.
Make sure to Format Data before installing.
Also after installing, you should press the button that clears "Dalvik Cache" so that you do not get stuck in boot logo.
Also to disable Forced Encryption so that the "Data" partition does not get encrypted when you boot the rom so that you can backup "Data" partiton, install this after installing the rom:

Thanks. I will have to revisit this another time. Since my phone was stuck in a loop after trying the other ROMs, I tried the eRecovery by Huawei and now it's just stuck on the loading screen. I think it also completely wiped out everything so I have to unlock bootloader again. I forgot the steps as well besides having the unlock code through DC Unlocker (I watched some video for this step but couldn't find it).
But either way, it's just stuck on loading screen. lol Frustrating to root just for Pokemon Go.

Okay! I also would recommand saving the bootloader code, just incase DC Unlocker stops working.
I think that "download latest firmware" button in eRecovery might download the android 8 emui firmware instead of android 7 emui firmware.
I think that the first boot takes a long time on EMUI, is really stuck in the loading screen? Maybe you have to wait maybe 15-20 minutes for it to boot.
I think that you did not have to restore using eRecovery, the roms that you flashed might have edited maybe the boot, vendor and system partitions. And that could of been fixed by flashing the RROS 5.8.3 full version because it edits all boot, vendor, and system partitions.

Yes, I actually did save the bootloader code, I just don't remember what I did / the steps to unlock the phone.
You are right about the 20 minute wait. After waiting for 20 minute, it allowed me to factory reset everything (Still Android 7.0).
I see. I have no idea about these ROM stuff and only you responded since last Wednesday. lol
So my steps should be to:
1. Unlock the bootloader again (I need to try to find the steps)
2. Install TWRP 3.1.1.1
3. Try to flash Magisk-v23.0.zip (Haven't been able to get this flashed for some reason)
4. I think there's another step called Smali Patcher or something, this was in the spoofing guide for Pokemon Go (Haven't gone that far yet to try)
So I actually probably don't need the RROS 5.8.3 ROM. I think.
EDIT:
I unlocked bootloader flashed the TWRP but TWRP recovery doesn't pop up this time. Hm.

When trying to boot into TWRP using "Power + Volume Up", make sure that the phone is not connected to the charger, or to the computer. That might be the reason why TWRP mignt not be popping up.
After that, TWRP should boot up.

Thank you. The Power + Volume Up worked. Got Magisk installed. Just haven't figured out the last steps to get Pokemon Go spoofing to work.
