So I bought this HTC One M7, the guy claims its soft bricked and hes not able to fix it because hes technically challenged. So I take it home boot it up, its stuck in a boot loop so I boot it into fastboot the bootloader is locked so I try to connect it to adb, no luck, there is no driver on this internet that I have found that will connect to adb. So I resort to fastboot, I "fastboot devices" and sure enough it connects (wicked), first I try to flash recovery, I try to boot recovery, I tried to update zip, no luck in flashing anything because I either get a signature fail or a "remote: not allowed" then I realize my bootloader is locked, I try to unlock it "fastboot oem unlock" and of course I get a "INFO [ERR] command error". I also tried to change my cid to 11111111 and no luck. I have actually tried everything I can think of I cant get s-off to work my recovery is stock as well so theres no possibility of OTG cable plus a usb. My fastboot will not flash anything in fastboot, I cant push any files to the phone, I cant connect to adb, I cant use my recovery. So what in the actual can I do? I think i'm f**ked.
Thank you in advance for anything you can help me with.

You can't use adb unless you're booted to OS or custom recovery. Also you can't unlock bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock" unless your phone is GPE version. For Sense you need unlock token from htcdev. In order to flash anything, you need custom recovery, and you can flash it only if your bootloader is unlocked

I unlocked my htc with the unlocktoken from htc dev but it still says locked in bootloader. I can flash the unlock_code.bin but it does not restart nor does it come up with a message that says I would like to unlock bootloader etc.

can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno). Sometimes, reflashing the stock firmware can solve some bootloader unlock problem but I need to know you getvar all before I can tell you which one you should flash.
Hello,
I tried to unlock my bootloader several times.I followed every guide and didn't make it.I have LBL xperia sp (Allowed bootloader unlocking :No)But i read i can try it anyway.So the problem here is when i start cmd in abd folder and enter command fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xmykey it says waiting for device.I installed drivers from the guide.Because i have windows 10 i disabled driver signature and all driver are installed.I tried all ports on my laptop and volume up,down.It just wont enter fastboot skips to sony logo immediately.Recovery is working fine.
Now i don't know is it because i have (Allowed bootloader unlocking :No) or i am doing something wrong,also i tried with 4.3,4.4 and 5.0 android versions.
I searched for this problem on xda forums but couldn't find any help.
Thanks.

Can you check if your bootloader can really be unlocked? Back on stock ROM, open Dialer, then type in *#*#SERVICE#*#* and report your "bootloader unlock allowed" status.
"Allowed bootloader unlocking : No" But i read somewhere i can still try to unlock it.

i have situation:
Phone : Relocked
FRP: Lock
any idea? im stuck in Bootloader.
Thank you very much! I spent many hours looking for a solution to this problem!
Your solution is incredible! Can I share your steps in Spanish for more people? I live in Mexico and I know more people with this problem. And of course I give you the credits for this magnificent solution. I'm sorry for my English, I know I write badly in this language
I have strange problem... I have "Phone unlocked, frp lock". But on my P9 Lite only fastboot mode works.
Rrecovery mode (vol+ i power) or download mode (vol+, vol-, power) are not responding - phone reboots always to Huawei logo.
Any way to fix that?
My phone its f***
What i do
Honor 7x

I have a solution for you both.
I mistakenly followed the instructions above but made the mistake of not skipping everything. I got the message "Data partition corrupted do you want to format the partition" or something similar, DO NOT FORMAT ANYTHING, it should boot up normaly. I'm a bit rusty in my rooting ways u_u
Now, I got exactly the same situation as you both "Relocked" and "FRP Locked". I was able to get into the eRecovery and this is way to restore your phone.
1.- You need to get the Huawei Firmware Finder (Team MT) (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146)
2.- Unzip it and run FirmwareFinderRewrite.exe
3.- Go to the tab that says Common Base
4.- Search for the update that you know it works in my case was VNS-L31C432B388 (I tried to use VNS-L31C432B404 but its still "not active" whatever that means). Look for the FullOTA and copy the change log address (in my case: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1258/g104/v91282/f1/full/changelog.xml)
5.- In the icons above the Tabs pres on the cloud with a page infront, the tooltip should say Proxy
6.- Copy the changelog addres in the section Firmware for install and press Set.
7.- Press Register for Update
8.- Follow the instructions bellow this (Change your DNS temporarily)
9.- In your phone go to the eRecovery.
10.- Connect to WLAN and it should find a package.
10a.- In case it doesn't find it, go back to step 4. You probably got 2 packages with the same name. I do not enterily understand the differences but I assume one is for one region and the other for other region.
11.- Wait until it restores and be happy.
If you can not change the DNS in you router, as it was my case. You can set a hotspot with your laptop/desktop and change the DNS there but you still need and active internet conection.
I connected my cellphone to my laptop via WLAN and my laptop to the router via Ethernet which provides internet. I change both DNS's for both connections.

Did you guys unlock your bootloader prior to having this situation? aka did you start with
Phone unlocked.
FRP locked.
My solution is for this situation ^ and this situation only, not for any other case.
One other thing it springs right now in my mind is, did you factory reset and delete the fingerprints ? As this might be related...

That's called a soft brick and have you tried eRecovery?
You need to go back to stock using a stock firmware which you have to find on the internet, then make a folder on your SDCard called DLOAD and put it in there, then press all three buttons and the eRecovery should boot up and detect the stock firmware.
EDIT: The guys that got stuck didn't read the part where I said VNS-L31 On B380 and did this having a custom ROM. How I know this? I've also followed my own guide and in the moment you relock your bootloader you will NOT be able to boot into your ROM anymore and you will boot to e-recovery
(which doesn't give too many options), if you were on Nougat or even on Marshmallow (skip the rollback part? )follow the rollback tutorial from N to MM from this Forum Section to get back to stock C432B160/1 , if you can't find the link just PM me
Again, I have VNS-L31 and I'm talking only from what I did, I don't know anything about your device
Man it's not working for me to relock the bootloader. its the same result. what can i do?
really need your help sir

If you have this situation : phone Relocked --> its mean that the phone has been unlocked before and then relocked
If you have this situation : phone locked --> its mean that the phone has never been unlocked before
it's a security from huawei to know if the phone still have a warranty
I have the same situation : phone relocked and frp lock (P20 lite with ANE-LX1 C652 )
because i relocked the bootloader without leaving the frp unlocked.
When you relock the bootloader ( relock phone) the phone will do an automatic factory reset, and if he fail with, you can't unlock bootloader again because of the frp lock, and you can not unlock frp from developper option because the phone won't start.
I tried the Firmware Finder solution to get erecovery working with DNS, i found an update for (ANE-LX1 C652 not FullOTA) and i register it for download, the phone start downloading, after finish downloading i get a fail install error.
i tried register many version C432 C185 ..... but the erecovery is not reconizing them i think that i need a FullOTA for my ANE-LX1 C652.
Installing update with sdcard dload, always fail .

Hello dear,
so i have unlocked my phone and this was the beginning of the problems, I had to deal with samsung phones before but the huawei was very sensitive, so i got into a problem and broke the phone system, which had taken the phone to an expert and had restored the stock phone system n it was good to roll back ,phone to work at least, he tells me that he did relock the bootloader but the message of warning still appears everytime i booted up ,
now ive the same problem as u have, and i noticed that the adb commands works only when the phone is on system ,either when i enter the FASTBOOT MODE ,ADB commands do not work anymore ,even the gray OEM unlocking,, and now i do not know if this solution works with me or not ,if i can get rid the warning message?? i dont need that silly unlocking anymore
ِِCan u advise me PLEASE !!!!

The warning will always appear as long as the Bootloader is unlocked. read the first 3 conditions . If you are on stock and can boot on stock, delete fingerprints and any PINs and Google accounts, then Factory Reset and this should set you to FPR Unlocked, BL Unlocked. Here just lock the bootloader back and then reboot normally and use the device as you normally do, the moment you add your Google Account and/or Fingerprint the FRP will lock back. If you want to continue flashing custom ROMs etc. follow the tutorial but read all the comments (relevant ones) before you do it.
This solution might work for all huawei phones where:
1. The Oem-unlock is greyed out and NOT activated in Settings -> Developer Options
2 .Bootloader is unlocked & FRP is locked.
3. You are on !!! STOCK !!!

I don't have the code, how do i lock and unlock bootloader? thx
to me puts
PHONE Locked
FRP Lock
phone stuck on recovery mode
Hi,
I unlocked my bootloader half a year ago. I tried out different custom roms.
Now I want to go back to stock with locked bootloader, because camera isn´t "green" anymore with the latest PIE rom.
So I want to know if it is possible to relock the bootloader.
I tried it via fastboot (fastboot flashing lock) but everytime I get a message "FAILED (remote: unknown command)".
Is there a way to relock the bootloader?
As far as I know you can relock the bootloader using flashtool. Connect your device in fastboot mode and press the BLU button in flashtool. There should be an option to relock it
