Help needed! stuck after rebrand from Oreo MHA-AL00 to C185 - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hi people , i need your help. I rebranded my mate 9 with Oreo from C185 to AL00 with firmw B375 to test EMUI9. After unsuccsessful attemps i decided to go back and rebrand to C185 again so i installed TWRP and applied the rebrand. After the phone rebooted i try to reinstall TWRP but in fastboot mode the phone display PHONE locked and FRP Lock so i cannot install custom recovery. Also in developer options "OEM unlocking" its grayed so im stucked.
What are my options ? I tried the dload folder method copying update.app from MHA-L09C185B383 but it hangs on 5% when trying to install. I think i can rebrand AL00 to anything but must be on nougat and i dont know how to rollback from Oreo and dont want to brick my phone.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Nope , thats the problem. FRP locked, OEM unlockinh is grayed and i only have stock recovery. When trying to reinstall with VolUp+VolDown+Power it fails at 5%.
Basically , i need to rebrand a MHA-AL00 with firmware from dic/2018 to anything else

I'm not really sure how to help sorry, I'm having problems as well. The fastboot does close by itself if it's not connected to a computer, I know that much.
Copy this ROM to internal SD and flash from recovery

You need to find a coloros rom from 2015. The 2016 Coloros Roms have the bootloader locked
---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------
Here is a link to an older ColorOS that should have an unlockable bootloader.

Hi all, I have an Oppo r7plusf international and flashed LineageOS successfully but WiFi wasn't working. Found a thread where someone mentioned to flash project spectrum ROM as a fix and tried that. However after flashing PS successfully and confirmed everything is working I then try to reboot into recovery mode only to find out twrp stopped working. Anyone had similar experience know a way to get twrp back so lineageOS can be flash?

Eh? Not sure if you realise that's a custom rom based on b131, it's certainly not "stock"
On step 4, he is providing a link to download full stock version to update phone before installing his custom ROM, I downloaded the stock file, unzipped it and you get the three files to update with HuRupdater, running full stock 131 on my phone from that link. ??

You need to flash the unofficial TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3779400
This version allows you to decrypt storage. From what I can see you have flashed official version that does not allow this.
Once you have flashed correct TWRP you then need to remove all security measures (password, fingerprint, face unlock) before booting into recovery. You should then see the folders appear normally.

This is only for the dual SIM variant of the P20 Pro. If needed I can get the single SIM update and post it. Feel free to message me with a request.
