A few days ago some users enrolled in MM beta program started receiving new B321 OTA, so I flashed it on top of my B303 MM and so far all good.
Apart from feeling really butter smooth and including WPS Office, Developer Options now again include OEM Unlock option(FRP unlock), solving the no bootloader unlock on MM issue.
Be sure to be on B303 MM stock recovery, extract the \dload folder from zip and place it on root of external SD card;
Get into Advanced Project Menu by dialing *#*#2846579159#*#*
Go to the bottom and select "HOTA Update"
Wait for reboot, EMUI will verify, install and optimize -took about 15 minutes, so be patient.
What I noticed is that on B321 Advanced Project Menu is gone, only standard(*#*#2846579#*#*) is available.

Hi.
So i updated to this firmware and got the unlock OEM option, and i unlocked it, got into fastboot mode (well the FRP lock screen that showed b4 when i didn't have the oem unlock option). I did the fastboot unlock process with the oem unlock key i got from Huawei website and it said it unlocked sucessfully, but i have no changes, everytime i try to go into bootloader it says that it is FRP locked :/
Any ideas?

Isn't FRP unlock different to bootloader Unlock?

You must activate the "Unlock OEM" option, reboot into fastboot and make sure you have "FRP: Unlocked" in red text. Once you confirm this use the bootloader unlock key provided by Huawei.
Well for me it says FRP locked :/ even tho i enabled oem unblock.

Battery consumption seems a little higher on B321...will need to keep an eye on it over the next few days
If you mean bootload unlock key yeah i have done it. Still only screen i get is FRP locked

If in fastboot screen(picture, maybe?) you have BL unlocked/FRP locked I understand you have previously unlocked BL while on Lollipop and then somehow FRP re-locked again, maybe wrong TWRP restore...
No thats the thing i didnt have BL unlocked when in lollipop
I have managed to update to b321 from b303 version with little / no issue. Everything seems OK apart from a small annoyance - the haptic feedback for navigation buttons has stopped working. I've checked all settings and all seems OK. This was working fine on b303 so maybe it's a bug? Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm not sure if it's a bug but I prefer it without the vibration....I was of the understanding that the bug was that it couldn't be turned off in lollipop so I think if anything it's fix.
Battery drain is my biggest concern... On mobile data it's appalling...can't wait to go back to lollipop

I've checked this on my honor 7 and seems to work ok (e.g. haptic feedback for navigation buttons works) so I'm pretty sure it's not correct on mate s. I'll try factor reset and see if that cures the problem. - unless anyone else has any better ideas
So I am still on 303. will it be possible to flash the 321, then unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery and thereafter restore an update of someone that provided a clean lollipop build via twrp?
As long as there isn't official 6.0 I would really like to get back to 5.1.1 xD
But my guess is we I still have to wait for a rollback firmware...

@bgx thanks for suggestion. Tried that and still no joy. I suspect it's a bug tbh. I'll try a factory reset tomorrow and see if that cures the problem. Not a massive problem but annoying as hell.

hey xda world,
first this is my first post ever on this forum and i cant hold myself of being amazed from how helpful and smart the people here,
my case is kinda hairy so bare with me
now lets get to the mess, so i got yesterday myself a p9 *EVA-L09C02B123/Vodafone*, unlocked its bootloader then installed twrp and root, after doing the process i tried to lock the bootloader because of the annoying message at the bootup, but i couldn't because of an error from fastboot {Root type is risk}.
i looked up the error around the interwebs and xda ofc, and somewhere i found that relocking can only be done if all the partitions are oem/stock, so i decided to get rid of the twrp and flashed back the default recovery from the SRK Tool and still couldnt relock it.
then i started to look for stock roms and couldn't find a stock for the L09C02, so i tried the dload B136 and it failed at 50%, knowing that oeminfo dictates which version the phone should get, i got the C432 one and flashed it using twrp, did factory reset and i noticed the vodafone boot logo being replaced by the default huawei, at this point the build became *EVA-L09C432B123* and tried the b136 dload and still no luck and failing at 50%.
please help ! :crying::crying::crying:
Welcome to xda
Does your phone still boot? And what is it you are trying to achieve right now? Relock your bootloader?

my phone does boot, and yes i want to relock for the reason i might want to sell it but having that boot message is kinda cringey for non power users.
also an update on the case, yesterday after posting this thread i downloaded an update zip from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67122856&postcount=47
then i flashed the zip using twrp and succeeded, now the version is L09C432B136 but still no luck locking the bootloader.
Possible bad download? Try downloading the whole stock rom again.
Any error messages?

this is not a fix to lock the bootloader as that is hardware level not software level. Use the tool DC-Unlocker or SRK Tools, look on the other threads under Huawei P9 and you will find these two options to lock the bootloader again. I have already done it on mine after de-branding and network unlocking my (what is now a....) EVA-L09C432B136
If you can boot and have the correct version, I'd say try a factory reset, download that full stock rom again and try flashing. I don't see why that shouldn't work. Unless there is something different hardware wise about those branded ones...
first must remove root via super su, then flash stock recovery then relock
I get a "root type is risk" when i relock with SRK Tool, any idea?

Actually AFAIA flashing the stock rom will relock the bootloader.

Hello!
I recently rooted my new P10 Lite before version B124 was released, but then I decided to update my phone from B102 to B124 by flashing the recovery image from the Update file and then updating via OTA with the full update files.. The phone updated successfully but yesterday I used adb to boot into the bootloader in order to flash TWRP but noticed that FRP is now locked and i cannot flash TWRP without getting command not allowed error.
I also tried unlocking the bootloader (just in case it was locked for some reason) using the password i got from huawei but even that gives me an error. The enable OEM option in developer settings is greyed out since after the update and is till greyed out even after clearing cache and factory resetting the device. Now is there a way for me to unlock FRP again in order to flash TWRP? Or maybe another way to flash TWRP. Hopefully someone knows a way.
Use DC Unlocker.
I used it to unlock my bootloader on P9. Works perfectly.
They do FRP unlock and supports P10 Lite.
Costs 15 credits so 15 Euro.

Thanks bro. Wish i saw it before spending 15 credits in DC unlocker. Even after removing frp i am still not able to tick enable OEM unlock in developer settimgs or flash twrp in fastboot. Only thing on my mind right now is to lock bootloader and see if enable oem unlock option will be available after that.

Flash stock firmware with latest Odin in download mode. That should get you back up and running. OEM toggle switch should re-appear within 7 days (unless the date change trick works for you). The OEM unlock thread has more background, and there is a sticky thread here for the date workaround.
I have flashed all again and its working. Weird for me is about thso OEM issue - ive never had one xd even after flash srock firmware i could switch oem unlock. Curious what's depends from

Usually that error happens when you are not on stock (rooted with twrp, etc.) and hit the OEM toggle...it sees you have modified your phone in an unauthorized way and puts you in 'jail'.
I toggled it by myself i didnt know that it should be always on...
OEM issue - what is the problem. I have heard that the problem os thatbon some phones therenis no such options .... curious why

Snapdragon bootloaders are locked so OEM unlock toggle isn't really relevant there. For Exynos there is a long thread here with lots of info. Essentially it can take 7 days to appear if you don't see it at first boot or if you end up in jail.
Hello Community,
i have a Problem after the installation of the newest android Update (OTA).
The A2 just Boot till the white AndroidOne Logo and it hangs there after a time it seems it shut down itself.
My Device:
-USB Debugging is disabled, its a new testing device.
-I cant boot in recovery mode (vol-UP+Power) just boots to the white androidOne Screen and there it hangs
- I can enter fastboot(VOL-Down+power) mode and the device is listed when i type fastboot devices in my terminal on pc
- when i fire up MiFlash tool it list my device after clicking refresh, if i want flash the latest FW (http://en.miui.com/download-353.html) i get the error:
error:"Flash bluetooth_a error"
- My bootloader is locked.
Question:
How can I flash a offical Android with a locked bootloader?
is it a good idea? or better send it back for a warranty solution (i dont want wait)
is there another way to solve my problem? i really dont know whats the problem is. i did not rooted the device or anything.
would be lovely if someone could help me. with an instruction what i can try.
Thank you very much and have a nice day
Regards
If you have enabled 'OEM Unlock' setting in Developer settings, you will probably be good, you can unlock bootloader(oem/flashing/critical) and flash the official ROM ( as per now, 10.0.2.0 )
If not, you have 2 options
-Boot into EDL using short points and flash from there
-Warranty
Same thing happened to a friend's phone, it wasn't touched and just went brick after 10.0.2.0 OTA.
Guess everyone should enable 'OEM Unlock' in case this happens(Data Encrypted anyway, worst case stolen phone better than the chance of brick every time an OTA comes)
edit: If you want to save your data, you obviously shouldn't try the bootloader unlock way...EDL flashing allows flashing without wiping data, but haven't tested that personally
wow really? that are bad news...
thank you anyway :crying:
maybe someone other got a idea?
regards
Lot of users faced this after today's update including myself. Since my bootloader is locked, only option left is EDL flashing by connecting motherboard test points.
Just an advice for everyone reading this message from a Xiaomi Android One device: ALWAYS KEEP UR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, IT DOESNT MATTER IF USB DEBUG ISNT ACTIVE, JUST UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
sorry for caps, is just an important thing, i also had the issue but with unlocked bootloader i solved it easily
Just flash using fastboot

Exactly the same situation here... Waiting for a solution without losing warranty.
I think if your bootloader is not unlocked, the only possible solution left is to shorting the test points on motherboard. Those who have warranty can return the unit for claim. Yet another mess up from Xiaomi and this will be my last phone from them.

I can understand that. I will claim warranty because its new and i dont want do that test point thing.
on private i would buy and recommend xiaomi anyways but if you want these hardware for some enterprise things then better not.
Iam out of this Thread now but if you want talk here some more feel free.. maybe somebody can bring a solution for all you guys who face this problem but i think its not possible without a open BL or the TestPoint Method.

Hello
I purchased the device of the title already unlocked and would like to return it to stock rom and lock the bootloader but I don't have the unlock code. I followed a guide found here using an otg cable and a pendrive to return to stock in hopes that it would also lock my bootloader but it did not. The procedure completed successfully twice, 1st going from .178 to .185 and second attempt from .185 back to .178. Every time the phone was factory reset but the bootloader remained unlocked. Any ideas on how to relock the bootloader on this thing without having the unlock code?

That's very strange, service firmware always lock bootloader but in your case it can't. Anyway I have two suggestions for you first go to developer option and uncheck OEM Unlock option then try dload.
Second is try this method Thread Link Click here. Third and last use erecovery for stock firmware restore.
Hope this will help you.

Hi. I'm in the same situation. I have a Huawei P30 Pro that came with an unlocked bootloader. The yellow message at startup is really disturbing. I would like to relork the bootloader but in vain. The fastboot oem relock command does not work. I flashed the firmware in ota and also by erecovery but nothing works. Recently I noticed on the back of the phone the inscription NOT FOR SALE. I don't know if it has anything to do with it or not.

Hi guys,
Sorry for this stupid question but how do you check your bootloader status on this device?
fastboot oem relock command need oem bootloader code.
you can try with full ota upgrade via OTG via Dload metod. long press the volume up key + volume down key + power button.
Choose the right firmware ,same country of your PHone (example europe C432).
But you are very lucky to have an P30 pro unlocked...don't relock.....
