Just got a FRD-AL00, whoever there is no OEM Unlock option in the developer menu. What does this means?
I'm still waiting for my Huawei codes since I don't have the phone registered to the Huawei ID in more than 14 days. So I don't know if the bootloader unlock will work without that option.
I also just got this phone and there is no 'oem unlock ' option in developer settings.. Anyone know what the deal is here?
I dont have the OEM Unlock option either. Same case.. I have the honor 8 frd-al00, but my chinese version is already updated to android 7 y emui 5.
All the honor 8 tutorials require that this option should be enable.
So.. what we can do? how we can solve this? I already receive my code for the unlock.
I want to root and debrand the frd-al00 to the international version al09, mentioned here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
But without this option I cant do it.

Not very good idea...
Phone get unstable in short time with this rebrand made... After watch video or photos in short time applications stop to run...
It will not work good, i had this experience and after all had to go back to AL00...
And it was not only me, on 4pda.ru forum a lot of such cases, so better think twice...

I already have the code as I mention.. but not sure what are you saying.. this mean that even without enabling that option i can make the unlock? but not sure if something bad may happen if the OEM unlock option in disable, and like I said.. that option it does not appear in the development menu, I can find the debugging usb option, but not the other. Some al00 has this OEM unlock option, but not all, maybe depends on the update I get.. my phone auto update to emui 5.0 and android 7.

you did the same steps that the link guide I quote?
If rebrand is not an option.. then my other options are not good either, because I read that all mods had reboot issues and some other problems.. they dont have the camera apps either, just a basic picture app who does not take a good advantage of double lens system.
So.. what we can do if we have the al00? I just want to use voice search commands (not chinese commands).

If u in EMUI 5.0, u must rollback to 4.1, use this method. It's worked with my Honor 8. I think u can.

Is any way to debrand without the emui 4.1, I have emui 5.0, my honor 8 is frd-al00, I cant find the rollback file for emui 4.. I find one for frd-al09 from 5 to 4.1, but that is the european version..
I have the bootloader code, but I can not activate the oem unlock option because it does not appear in my development tools, you told me that I have to go back to 4.1, but I have no idea how to do that.. or when I can find the file to do it..
Any advice.. ? What happen if I use the rollback file for the frd-al09?

u can use Hisuit to go back to EMUI 4.1.
Or may try go to fastboot, unlock bootloader in fastboot? Maybe it work. Shutdown Honor, hold volume down + connect ur device to PC via USB cable. Then u try to unlock, if not, the only way is EMUI 4.1.

I was able to rollback to 4.1 with hisuite, and I manage to unlock bootloader and install twrp.
I made a backup of all my files, then download the frd-al09432b131, (my phone is frd-al00 which also has 4gb - 32gb), I unzip the firmware and I place it in the ssd card under the folder dload. (not sure if only the update.app file should be in it, or also the other folders like meta-inf and oeminfo, I try with both).
Then from the twrp I did a format data and I wipe data once. Then I shutdown the phone.
press volume up +down+ power until the update starts to run..
But..
At 5%, a alert come up saying:
------------------
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
(reboot system now)
------------------
But well, I dint reach so far to resign now.. I am downloading a new firmware from the honor site:
Honor 8 Firmware(FRD-L09, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B131, United Kingdom)
I hope this work... or I may be doing something wrong?
Edit: still happen with the new firmware that I download, not sure what to do.. I need supersu for this?

because I want to rebrand my phone.
a friend mine bought it for me in China, I didnt know it would be so different in software without google voice search.
So reading guides from this forum, I saw 3 rebrand guides, from chinese version to the similar version of europe (which seems to be the global), I am from Argentina.
I cant post the link of the guides because I am still newbie in this forum.

Hello, i’m new around here and i’m having a big problem with my Mate 9, model MHA-L09, with the official european ROM MHA-L09C432B186
The problem is that in this ROM the native Huawei apps are not available, there's no Theme stores, and not even Huawei ID. I can't change the ROM and i can't bootload it because the code that i receive doesn't work, so i can't update the phone. I don't know what to do anymore. I tested every tool, and my friends tried and failed too. The phone works normally, perfectly even. I just can't update nor modify anything.
Please, would someone help me?
My sincere thanks. :crying:

hi
I have a Honor 8 FRD-L09C432B394, rooted latest magisk and twrp.
There is an OTA update, available, on the phone only, not available with HiSuite..
I would like to update, I uninstalled Magisk, But no way to replace twrp with stock recovery with latest Huawey MultiTool V8.
Don't know why but my FRP is locked.
I found some ways to solve it, AAbox2_17.11, or DC Unlocker 2, but I dont understand how it works, and I don't want to brick my phone...
I also found a tutorial to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow, this could solved my problem...
Do you have any info? Please.
thanks for your answer, I will try it with huawey tools
Ok, I finally managed to update my firmware to b399...
thanks @Rommco05
But, now, I have a problem with the bluetooth...
I posted another subjet about that :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/bluetooth-inactive-b399-update-t3727042
Basically the title. I received my Chinese Edge S today, so far I like it but I've barely used it. I thought I got a model with Gapps preloaded, but I was wrong (big surprise). I sideloaded Play Store, but haven't gotten much farther. Unlocking the bootloader was a little difficult, I had to factory reset, with the SIM card installed, to get "OEM Unlocking" to not be grayed out. But from there it was simple, I used the Motorola website to get the unlock code, ran it, no problem. I just followed the normal Magisk instructions: I installed the Magisk app, found the boot.img file inside the ROM download from the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant, patched it with Magisk, flashed it via fastboot and I'm rooted. Once I hid Magisk, Google Pay seems to work fine (although it says NFC is not set up...I'll have to test it tomorrow for tap to pay to see if it works; when I go into NFC settings it says Google Pay is default). I'll let you all know how it goes. I also downloaded Google Assistant, but as I suspected it isn't working. I tried to sideload Gapps from Android 10, but it didn't work. I'll have to try TWRP later, or maybe wait until an Android 10 Gapps is available.
EDIT: Since I have root, is there a way install the Gapps? I found BiTGApps which has Android 11 support, but it only lists TWRP install method and there's currently no TWRP for this phone.

Wow, thanks for all this info. That is great that you were already able to root and get Magisk on there with minimal issues. This is pretty much what I do with my phones right out of the box. Regarding that link for Gapps, I read through the start of that thread and the package is definitely what we'll probably need for this phone. But, without a working recovery at this point, I don't think there is another way to install it.
That's awesome that you did that. I received my code from Moto, but I need to factory reset myself to get the OEM unlock slider to not be grayed out. I'm just waiting for the G100 Rom to be available and flash it then.
Until then. its a pretty sweet phone for the money.

I imagine it'll be available as soon as the phone itself is, just a matter of someone downloading the G100 ROM with RSA, then uploading it for the rest of us. I also imagine the process will simply be to download it, and rename it so RSA will flash it instead of the Chinese ROM for us, but that's really only speculation at this point. It may have a checksum that would make flashing a little more difficult, in which case it would be a matter of installing TWRP (once available) and then flashing that way.

Thanks for info . İs flashing g100 rom need root device or unlocking bootloader ?
Hi guys, so I bought my first Realme phone a couple of months ago and I noticed that the Google Pay app wasn't working. I checked the ali store where i bought it and surely it said "Global rom: This is the version with global firmware installed, with many languages, including portuguese language, spanish language, google store is normal, but please note that google pay payment does not work properly". For any reason, this ROM wont let me have Google Pay, so I wanted to know if any of you knows how to enable the Google Pay app? or should I install another ROM? Has any of you had a similar problem? Thanks
Perhaps shift from global to Europe firmware?
Im from South America, so I dont know if the European firmware would work. I'm having a little bit of trouble finding out how RUI 3.0 - Firmware - ROM work. Also, do you know how to do the shift from Global to European? Or at least a tutorial? Ive seen the site https://realmefirmware.com/realme-gt-neo2-5g-firmware/ which has the global firmware released today but I dont know if it's just installing the firmware and problem solved.
Bootloader unlocked = no google pay, it will only work with the original firmware channel, don't try locking your bootloader if you are not 100% sure of it, this will cause your phone to bootloop and you will end up with a bricked device that only realme support would be able to solve, the best solution would be to spoof your device fingerprint to pass the SafetyNet and everything will work just fine, you can contact me for help if you want.
Yes Im going to need a little bit of help with that, thanks

With Magisk installed you can use the Universal SafetyNetFix by kdrag0n, easy fix
hello, I also flashed the phone, changed the region, rooted it (now it does not work). And closed the bootloader. works on the old bank, but the new (other) does not want to.

i did install it, but CTS profile still not pass.
I figure out that I need a valid fingerprint which associate to the device (The one which registered to google) to make CTS check pass.
So, I need the fingerprint when the device is in stock rom and haven't rooted.
