I have read some articles here and there like this one for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-how-to-unlock-frp-free-t3388810 it advices to enable oem unlock to get rid of frp lock, but after many trials I can say unfortunately there is no relation between oem unlock option and the frp lock http://gadgetguideonline.com/androi...ollipop-5-1-when-you-do-a-factory-data-reset/
The problem is I don't know the solution so I hoped some of the developers out there can help us because it is really hard to find info for the huawei smartphones online.
I have an L-29c185 I was able to unlock the bootloader and root the phone on emui 4.0 and I installed kangvip slim and used it until update b353 (13-7) then I flashed the original firmware L-29c185b320 zip file in twrp and flashed it again using dload method until the logo of "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" has disappeared.The problem is that I can not unlock the bootloader again, frp is always locked although I entered the same google account with the same password nothing had changed .
The phone is working good I only want to root it, I removed the google account and factory reset the phone many times with no help the frp is always locked.
Did you find a solution? I have exactly the same problem.
Search for no fuss and give it a try

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.

My target is to stay at android nougat, with root (magisk if possible).
But with nougat I cannot unlock my bootloader...
Hello all... Was following the guide here to rebrand my mate 9 using HWOTA8 method as I was already on Android 8. However got to an issue on step e where now under fsstboot it shows phone locked and shows FRP locked.
This happened after flashing the different OEMinfo.bin which now my device is a different model. Was Chinese model mha-alc00.
Is the anyway to flash my original OEMinfo.bin file without having TWRP?
Can you boot phone to system?
Yes, I can.
Then just go to Settings -> About -> tap Build number a few times until the Developer toast appears. Go back, tap on Developer options.
Enable OEM unlocking.
Boot to fastboot (FRP should now be unlocked), unlock bootloader again then continue.
Unfortunately, I have tried that but OEM unlocking is greyed out and says underneath it connect to the internet or contact your carrier.
And since the OEM unlocking is greyed out, it won't accept the fastboot relock command with my unlock code to lock the bootloader or even unlock it again.
Could i use the FF method on my PC with hisuite to download and revert back to stock? I tried it with FF on my phone and doing in the app but it always fails in recovery at like 6% when trying to authenticate. I'm guessing that has to do with the fact that the oreo version is still an online-update and not offline-update under the package.img.
Would the offline dload file of the mha-al00 work and it would revert me to Nougat? Or would that just mess it up?
Or anyway to spoof the region on my phone and maybe erecovery would work to download and restore over wifi?
Did you connect to WIFI/mobile? Mine was clickable after connecting to wifi. Didn't even add google account.
Yep, I have. Made no difference. I even tried to disable the find my device services and reboot but no change. Also even went as far as signing in with my google account and remote factory resetting it to see. No change, unfortunately.
Did you try a factory reset?
I don't think dload AL00 will work as oeminfo.bin is not AL00 now.
To what cust were you going to rebrand to?
I tried the factory reset from recovery and inside the settings. No change at all, unfortunately.
I also tried the one after dialing the code in the dialer but that one fails.
I believe I'm screwed, as I was trying to rebrand to c567 (US) and since I see there is no service ROM (offline) for that one. Ugh....FML
Although my baseband version seems to be the same and not changed. Don't know if that helps or anything.
Yeah dload didn't work. Just failed at 5%.
I guess if I want to properly fix this I have to use funkyhuawei to rebrand or dc-unlocker maybe to repair/change the vendor/model, etc? I would obviously rather not resort to paying methods but if I needed to. However, all of the main functions still work so its' not like I'm stuck, until updates don't come out for it.
I have as some problem here, did you solve the problem?
I have dug myself into a hole when trying to rebrand a Huawei Mate 9
I appear to have unlocked and rooted it but the FRP is locked. This means the OEM unlocking is greyed out and the phone will not accept fastboot oem commands (failed: command not allowed). I cannot therefore load TWRP recovery nor can I recover to factory settings.
I do have an FRP unlock code but this only works if the boot loader is not unlocked and of course I cannot relock it if the phone will not take fastboot commands.
This greying out of the OEM unlocking seems a common problem on the Huawei.
DC-Ulocker which seemed to offer a solution explicitly says it does not work in Android 8 which I have installed
Can anyone advise how to resolve this from this situation?
I was facing same. I used chimera mobile utility tool on my p10 plus. Do some research and try. Its paid but worth and cheap than dc and funky huawei and yes I was on android 8 oreo
Had the same issue on Oreo, I did a recovery via e-recovery and that fixed it.

In Developer Options, try hitting the "Restore defaults" button at the bottom (Can't remember if it exists on Oreo, but does on Pie and that fixed grey out for me)
