Hello
That tread may be my last chance to unbrick a phone...
One of my relationships have bought a chinese AL10 Honor 5c
He decided to unlock the bootloader and to "europeanize" the phone. With NEM-L51 rom... unfortunately. And, of course, it sim-bricked the phone.
Before trashbining it, I have tried to help him to recover the original rom. But it was impossible to reset it totally, due to unlocked bootloader.
Now, the bootloader is locked, but now when I start the phone, I have to type a password to decypher the storage. The password is accepted, but the partition appears as corrupted.
Proceeding to a factory reset is inefficient, I bootloop to the "type the password" alert.
Every rom I try to apply with the dload + update.app procedure, it fails....
I don't have ideas anymore....
Any idea? It would help....
Thanx

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 just tried to enable OTG on my Honor 5c.
I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP. etc.
Now i reset my phone and relocked my booloader. i see every boot a warning, and i can't use my online banking TAN because my phone is apparently rooted.
i just want to do a hard reset. But how? I can't install the b102 firmware from modaco. i get an error every time. what can i do?
please help me
What firmware number you have?
my bank just warns about being rooted but doesnt prevent using app i think you can hide root from apps... try searching root hiding from apps!
Hi all. So I recently bricked my device while trying to update to oreo.
What I did was rebrand my device from PRA-LA1 to PRA-AL00X(P8 Lite 2017 to Honor 8 Lite) which was required for updating to Oreo. After that, I typed in the command from TWRP to install the update.zip, but nothing happened so I rebooted my device. It boots up as Honor and my eRecovery and fastboot still works, but my bootloader locked when I rebranded.
As I'm typing this, I managed to connect to WiFi and its downloading the firmware, but what I was wondering is will it be possible again to unlock bootloader again? Because my IMEI number obviously changed since rebranding and I didn't save the unlock code so I was wondering if I manage to unbrick this device if it'll be possible to unlock bootloader again with the new IMEI. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi, guys. I have a huge problem and I'd appreciate every kind of help.
As I was planning to sell my Huawei P8 lite 2017 phone (PRA-LX1), I've decided to relock the already unlocked bl for warranty reasons.
After relock and factory reset process, the phone does not restart al all, but it gets into eRecovery mode, asking to connect to internet in order to download a new firmware.
But the problem is there is a "getting package info failed" message.
I've tried to enter in fastboot mode, and both BL and FRP are locked (green color)
I have even tried to use the dload method, but update stucks at 5%.
What can I do? I've searched a lot of pages here before I open this thread.
Thanks in advance.
you may have bl unkock code use it
I have the unlock code, but I cannot use it due to locked FRP.
I was trying to rebrand and convert my phone to dual sim, only this can't be done on Pie and FunkyHuawei didn't make this known. And since I hit this issue out they are not responding to my emails anymore. Which sounds par for course with them from what others are saying. Anyway, I needed to downgrade to oreo to continue with the rebrand but oem unlock feature in developer mode was greyed out. So I did a factory reset but the oem unlock was still greyed out afterwards. And now when I go into fastboot, it is showing the phone as unlocked but FRP as locked. And I can't do anything in fastboot now as a result. Is there any way to unlock FRP again?

Well it seems firmware finder was my friend on this occasion. I found a load of folders and files with weird names on the internal storage and removed them. It seems these were were placed there by Funky as erecovery started working again, instead of twrp. And I wasn't getting the message to continue rebranding either. The internal storage was still read only, so I had a look at FF as a last resort. It recommended a higher version of the original so I went with that. It took around 3 hours for it to download and install but everything was back to normal afterwards. Including frp and oem unlock.
As for rebranding, well I'm no further on but I shant be trying it again until I can downgrade to oreo. If I could only figure out how to do that.

Honestly unless you really really need it. I wouldn't bother mate. Massive ballache
This is such a lame phone, can't wait to be rid of it.
Downgrading should be achievable by either hisuite or by a flash script. Literally just like installing a new os. I used the latter as hisuite bugged out after fiddling with host files thanks to fh. Search this forum for pats with the word numpty in title. I wrote an exact step by step on the process I followed
When you do the rebrand if you don't need dual sim, just use the standard debrand P20 tool and key the model and regions manually to ensure no **** ups.

If there's any dload firmware available for your device (search on androidhost.ru for your exact model and region), then you might have a chance to fix this issue, by downgrading/updating with the dload method.
