Honor 8 update fails, PHONE Unlocked, FRP Lock - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

So I can't update my Honor 8 because I have TWRP and when I try to update through Huawei Updater it reboots to TWRP and tries to update and then it fails. So how do I uninstall twrp or unlock FRP? I can't reset my device because it just simply reboots normally when I reset it. So can someone help me? I'm stuck on firmware version FRD-L09C432B360 and area is EU (Finland). If you need more information just ask but help would be really appreciated.

One thing that could work to bring OEM unlock back is to wipe cache from recovery

Sorry for late answer, yes, dload worked, the phone is now locked and working correctly, and I think I'll never use Huawei phones again as I really want to be able to root my phones.

Please step by step list exactly what you did to get to this point.
e.g.
1. I booted into the bootloader by issuing ./adb reboot-bootloader
2. I unlocked by issuing ./fastboot oem-unlock [unlockcode]
etc., etc.
The information you have provided is not remotely close to enough to help you.
Flash hw_data and public zips for your build number in twrp.

To get rid off the nrd test keys what do I have to do? I wanted to install the new version everyone is talking about (sp01), last time I tried to install something from twrp it failed
if i go to the restore section i have 3 options, 2 that are nrd90m (i dont want those) and one from an earlier time which i suppose is before i ****ed up and installed this test thing. Can i install sp01 from here? I downloaded the packages from the firmware finder app

flash first first zip (region) and right after update zip. After go to reboot and make reboot recovery. Now you will be in stock recovery and tap factory reset and after reboot and boot to rom. Again flash twrp make backup and again happy flashing...

Thx man for your help. waiting for slouthion
How long you use your unlock code? Seem in 14days not used, you can use this code. Try get new code from huawei, maybe it different with one you have
PS: it is a tips, but I things it will not work. Unlock code only work with stock recovery, that why you failed.
One thing you can, this is try to flash stock firmware. Maybe use twrp flash full OTA or dload (dload you say not work)
Try sideload via adb or anythings you can do.

[HELP] Can't boot! FRP Lock!

Hi, my phone's model is AL-40, and it is now can't boot. It can only enter fastboot mode or eRecovery mode. But, the eRecovery can't rescure it. And what is worse, fastboot mode shows that PHONE Unlocked, FRP Lock. Due to FRP Lock, I can't not flash any img (lik system.img, oeminfo.img) to any partition.
What I do to cause this is that I flash a L21's oeminfo.img to oeminfo partition using dd.
Anyone meet this issue? What can I do now?
@shashank1320
Try using the dload method. Flash full firmware, it will relock yout bootloader and you will be able to boot

Yes definitely you need to unlock bootloader first, but as we know you can't end this process because of system crash.
You can contact over "HiCare(app)---->Local service hotline" what your further steps should be. Good luck.
