Then this must be a very serious problem since you said you already played with both IMEIs. I'm thinking...

There stands:
PHONE Locked
FRP Unlock
What means that? I have unlocked the bootloader once of this device. Then he can be unlocked again, right?
Thank you

PHONE Locked means your bootloader is locked.

Yes, your bootloader is locked.. try again via fastboot to unlock it.
You'll need the original key when you are trying it
the Command is something like "fastboot oem unlock *key*".

I know that. Have you seen my problem?? but, thank you anyway! I need to no why i get "wrong password" and what means "frp unlock".

I tried it again. It doesn't work fu****g huawei...
I have taken 4 picures when i tried it. Can you find an issue? I don't think that i have made something wrong...
Thank you

I've had the same problem and it turned out that the first bootloader code i used ( with DC unlocker) is different from the one i got on the Huawei website.
So what i did eventually was to pay for the DC unlocker again.
I also downgraded back to MM, because i did not manually relock the bootloader before updating to N, which apparently locks the bootloader in a different way.
So I suggest dowgrading to MM and unlocking there plus relocking it before updating again,
IF you are sure you have the right / original bootloader code you used before,
or
use a 3rd party tool like DC unlocker to get the code.
You might have to downgrade to MM as well with this method . Not sure
Edit: Fyi, never post your IMEI online

It should either be an exe somewhere or just a bat file.
This tool does the same thing as a command window in the sense of unlocking the bootloader.
As far as I know it won't help with your problem.
Frp ( Factory reset protection) requires you to sign with your google account if enabled or you can't use the phone. ( Theoretically that is, I'm i noob myself so no idea)
But it was "locked" ( same as in your pics that is ) for me as well anf I didn't have a problem with it.

Safety is the enemy of freedom!! -.- Sounds very complicated! (sorry for my bad english). So, i was on android 6.1 and unlocked and rooted it. Than had my problems with root again (maybe the wrong supersu file, or something) Then i have downloaded update.app from hihonor and installed it from the external sd card and everything is working fine on my phone. but i can not unlock it. maybe i have the wrong software for my location ore something like that?
FRP unlock means "You have to unlock"? if its unlocked there will be "FRP unlocked"? i am right?
Maybe i should try the whole procedure from beginning. rollback, update etc.. and then try to unlock. or should i contact huawei?
Thank you and a nice evening *cheers* ^^

So finally after reading all posts , plz do downgrade to mm and try to unlock

I have the same trouble, I obtained my unlock key from huawei (I'm not going to give my imei to someone else), but I get wrong password.
How can I downgrade to MM? I'm on linux, so I cannot use that multitool (also, I prefer to make thing manually).
Thank you!

For downgrade you need a rollback package..
What is your model number and build number??

I have an honor FRD-L09 with build FRD-L09C432B394
I understood that I nned to rollback to emui 4.1 (android MM), then unlock, but after this step I cannot receive ota's so how can I return back to Nougat stock? And you have a trusted download for the needed packages?
I just want to use Titanium Backup to restore all my stuff... and some modifications (pixel launcher, magisk with some modules, viper audio, ad block, something this simple), nothing usually complex!
Thank you!

For downgrade process you don't need to unlock bootloader..when you downgrade you will receive OTA updates..
To use TB you need root..which is required unlock bootloader..
Why you want to go back to MM BTW??

I don't want to go back to MM, but as long as I understood this is a needed step to unlock my bootloader.
I experienced the same trouble of the thread creator: the password that huawei gave me is invalid.

You people are foolish even more than me. I wanna abuse you but can't.
If your device shows Bootloader status unlocked allowed 'yes'
Then goto unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
And select device modle and enter emi number and fu+k yourself and get an unlock code.
And use experifirm to flash any regions firmware even global too.

Please keep your temperament low, Mister.
And thank you for "misguiding" people. I unlocked bootloader, downloaded a ton of roms and none would flash. Each one of them results in errors. Downloaded any custom roms available, most go into bootloop while some wont install even.
Relocked bootloader and still wont install OTAs so I am stuck with stock MM with no possibility of getting Nougat because on SO-01H Nougat update is OTA only and there is no FTF available anywhere.
Thanks again. And please dont swear on public forums.

Thats OK.
I have no idea what jeffal jetwari is, but rest assured your advice was acted upon and it made me lose too many hours trying to fix it. No ftf's for other variants work, not even the global version, no custom roms work and there is really not much of a benefit having unlocked the bootloader. So please only advise on something you have experienced personally.

Pls tell me to update emui 8 on my phone

I don't know what to do update emui 8 because bootloader is lock and I can't unlock bootloader tell me please. ?

Now that bootloader unlock isn't supported by Huawei you can only rely on using some third-party services like DC Phoenix, the cost is something about 4€. Sadly if you don't have a code you need to get one in way to install EMUI 8.
What's your build number?

Ok, here's what you have to do: first of all, unlocking bootloader is mandatory in way to proceed to next steps.
Then, you have to debrand your device to the correct variant, BLN-L22C675XXXX, following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-debranding-to-india-variant-bln-t3679402
And last, once debranded you can update to EMUI 8 following steps listed here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317
Just pay a lot of attention and make things with calm, in way to avoid unpleasant issues. Good luck and happy flashing

How To Guide [Soft Unbrick] How to Flash the Stock Firmware in Realme GT Neo 2 [bitra][Fastboot Mode]

Update> Currently I recommend this method only for unbrick, if you are going to change regions or install stock use this new method: Here
>> Need bootloader unlocked <<
If you want to unbrick or flash stock, you must download the package corresponding to your device and RUI version
1. Download the .zip package and extract the .ofp file
​Packages:​​India​​RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.07: Download​RUI 3.0 Android 12 C.03: Download​​---------------​​Europe​​RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06: Download​RUI 3.0 Android 12 C.02: Download​---------------​​China​​RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06: Download​​---------------​​Russia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and other regions​​RUI 2.0 Android 11 A.02: Download​RUI 3.0 Android 12 C.02: Download​---------------​
2. Download and Install OppoRealme-OFP-Flash Tool: Here
3. Place the extracted .ofp file in the same folder as the program.
4. Run OppoRealme-OFP-Flash
5. When running if you have placed only one .ofp file in the folder it will automatically select it.
6. Choose the region you want to install, if you don't know you can search on google country code, or go in automatic mode by adb (if your cell phone isn't bricked).
7. Then it will ask if you want to keep some partitions (if you're doing it for bootloader lock you can't keep any).
8. Accept the terms and then plug the device into fastboot mode.
9. Done!
Note: after this process if you want to lock the bootloader, restart again in fastboot mode and type the command "fastboot flashing lock"

At last! Thank you! Will try it as soon as I have some free time to do it!

One quick question please. So let's say I want to go from Europe to India rom. I need to unlock bootloader and start the process you described. Do I need to take backup any partition in order not to lose IMEI or something? And after flashing to relock bootloader only type "fastbook flashing lock"? Some people were saying there is no official method to relock the bootloader again that's why I'm asking.

almost that, you don't lose the imei, you lock the bootloader I've already tested and proven it, but I don't recommend doing it without the rom that comes on your device.if you want to test, but it can happen hardbrick.

You mean lock the bootloader with the rom that my device has already? So if it's europe it has to stay europe and do the lock if I understand correctly.

That's right, I don't know if blocking with a system from another region would work, it could even work, but it's risky to test, only if you have 10usd to pay for the hard unbrick.

Listen, the thing is that I wouldn't even bother to test another rom. I already have made a thread here asking for some help because I have problem with incoming caller ID on 4G/5G with VoLTE enabled. Since no solution has been found, even after contacting Realme, the next thing to try was another (stock always) rom to see if it would work. If I would try to change rom I have to be VERY careful because there are absolutely NO service centers of Realme in my country. That's why I'm asking these questions. I want to know how safe is to "transfer" from another rom and if it is posible to return to my stock rom again with locked bootloader.

Thank you man. Totally appreciate your effort. Just to be clear one last time. You can do w/e test you want by changing roms/regions with unlocked BL and then after if you want to return your phone to what it was from factory you flash again your initial rom and lock BL.

great work thank you

Sorry if I may ask for clearer steps. The steps is kinda vague like you did not mention anything that need to be prepared from the device. And, if we change to another region rom, do we get future OTA official update form realme? Thank you in advance.

Hi, im from europe and i have realme gt neo 2 europe variant. Just for information:
i unlocked bootloader, flashed chinese rom and locked bootloader again and everything worked like a charm.
No hardbrick.
PS. i relock bootloader because my bank accounts didnt worked with unlocked bootloader.
PSS. OTA updates works like a charm too on chinese rom.
