How to lock the bootloader via flashing stock rom? - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone, I'm trying to relock my Huawei P10 bootloader but I'm getting the error "failed: root type is risk" when I give the locking command. I had already flashed stock recovery, recovey2 and boot but somehow it still sees the root.
So now I understand that to lock bootloader I have to flash the stock rom, but I don't know how. I have already downloaded the full-ota for my model with firmware finder (the android app). How do I install it?
Thank you

TRY PC and HWOTA and your correct firmware type!
search your phone type and click on filelist and download the 3 files. It may be the latest one.
update.zip
update_data_public.zip
update_VTR-L29_hw_eu.zip (for your phone!)
rename update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, update_data_public.zip
then put it in the HWOTA/update directory
then run the update.bat file with administrator privilege.
This puts the device in the factory and closes the bootloader.

Thank you. Will i have to flash dual sim version or i can use my actual version (L09C02)?

Ahh. Something went wrong and i haven't been able to flash .imgs anymore via fastboot.
Status: can't relock, no twrp recovery, frp locked* and grayed out in settings and thus cannot flash anything. Tried the dload method with the .APP file but the installing got stuck at 5%.
Seems DC-unlock is the only chance now. Gosh, one can't really relax with this device
*interestingly there's a command to unlock the frp via fastboot, but it asks for a password! Tried few ones (google acc., bootloader code, perosnal pin) but didn't work.

NO! your phone 1 sim card and vodafone branded!
You need L09C02 firmware (vodafone) or debrand option in HWOTA L09C02--to--L29C432.
You need 1 debrand flash and 1 same brand flash one after another.
in this case the warranty will be lost but there will be a 2 sim card phone retail eu firmware.

Thank you. Here's what I did.
When I see the message saying you need decryption key, I tried to unlock again the bootloader. It does factory reset afterwards.
I forced flash update.app, relock bootloader and I got an issue with themes.
To fix that, I unlocked bootloader and flash TWRP. I flashed the data zip bundled on the firmware. Flashed again the stock recovery and update.app
Relock again the bootloader and it did a factory reset again
after that, its all stock
Thanks guys

You need to find the zip file update_data_full_hw_meafnaf.zip and flash it on TWRP. it may varies per model and I forget where I downloaded. What version you have? L09 or L19?

Hi....
First you choose Utility in SRK Tools and then choose "install /data/hw_init", on your phone you should accept supersu request and Done!
this is my solution ( made by me ) after trying many solutions over this forum @ other forums
just
1- delete any folder for themes u made (as hw_init or themes in root folder or at any site )
2- make folder & name it ( HWTHemes ) in internal memory
3- download this folder & put it inside (HWTHemes )
4- go to themes app and chose ** Aqua theme ** & apply it
5- no need to change any permissions
this was try on huawei y 7 2017

PRA-LX1 I want to install stock firmware.

I want to flash my phone with stock firmware, but I cannot find it anywhere.
I am looking for PRA-LX1C738B123.
I own Huawei p8 lite 2017
I wiped my system because I wanted to install other rom, it didn't work so I want to go back to the original.
Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to do a backup before so I am stuck atm. The bootloader is unlocked and flashing works, I can boot into huawei eRecovery and TWRP. (eRecovery gives the getting package info failed error) I have tried the dload method with other app files, it fails at 5% every time tho.
I tried using Huawei Update Extractor and Firmware Finder but I cannot find the exact firmware.
Could someone help me with installing my firmware? Oh and I am kinda new and it would be nice to get some guides,
Thanks.
I have the same problem but with a different firmware.. now only thing i can do is use dc-phoenix paid software (15$ for 72h of use). I will try that tomorrow as i also can't find exact same firmware it was on my phone.

Thanks for reply. I will take that into consideration, but from what I see you were looking for PRA-LX1C432B106 and they indeed have the c432 roms there, however they don't seem to have the ones that I have been looking for. They have a list of firmwares online. Anyway good luck.

Yes, but any PRA-LX1C432 i tried doesn't work for me, flashing by fastboot. I believe any PRA-LX1 should work on this phone, but i will need to use that dc phoenix software to flash it.

Hello ! I think I could be of some help since I encountered the exact same problem !
edit: well I just realized I can't find your ROM with firmware finder either, sorry for the failed attempt
In your case I'd try with each firmware until one would work or a I tried them all.
You need some utilities first :
- Firmware Finder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
It will allow you to find the stock ROM that fits your model
-Huawei UPDATE extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
It will allow you to extract the .img files from the firmware previously downloaded.
-fastboot and adb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.
edit: formatting
Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Thanks for help! I tried but i dont' have factory reset option. All I have is Shutdown, reboot and "Download leastest version and recovery" and after I click that all it does is wants internet connection. I logged in to my wifi but it didn't work and I ended up with "getting package info failed screen".

Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

But keep updating in case someone more knowledgeable peeks in.
similar problem....I was fairly good but play store was stuck in pending download....
I did a wipe in TWRP, and ended with a black screen...
I can boot to eRecovery, but it fails.and also to TWRP.
when attached to PC it keeps being seen and unseen as if its stuck in a power on cycle
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the solution for every PRA-LX1: [http : // www . htcmania . com / showthread . php ? t=1326478] (sorry for the spaces, but I don't have enough posts written to post external links )

Where did you find the C432 firmware? I can't succees to find it
Flashing to a completely empty phone via DC phoenix or manual via fastboot still didnt got my device started. Sometimes I end up in the eRecovery and sometimes its just stuck at boot.
I tried different version from the hicloud but none so far did the trick. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction so i can finally rescue this phone?
EDIT:
PRA-LX1C432
Sorry cant link to these files since i don't got 10 posts. Maybe PM ?
Copied the Mega TWRP backup (B100) to SD card
Flashed TWRP via fastboot
Disconnected the USB cable
Boot into TWRP
Restored TWRP backup
Restarted phone into fastboot
OEM unlocked it
Got booted into TWRP since no stock recovery there
Booted into fastboot again
flashed stock recovery
Android started to work!
Tried to update to B164 and failed
Reboot
Now it offered B110 and I tried to update to B110. Success.

[TIPS] Revert Custom Rom to Official and untouched - Hard restore

Hi!
I see the large number of requests concerning the roolback of a custom rom to a official and untouched EMUI 4, i decide to create this thread.
After follow that methode, you able to rest on official EMUI and get the new update automatically on OTA (directly on your phone) OR try to install custom rom with a clear and good base version.
1. You ave access on TWRP?
-If not, pleas unlock your bootloader (again) and flash TWRP recovery for you actual version (marshmallow or nougat).
-perform a full wipe and restore your partitions on "ext4" format, shutdown phone.
2. Get a "oem_info.zip" for your model phone (dont extract the .zip) and push it on your internal or external sd.
-This archive contain cust and oem info for patched your phone at the correct manufacture information.
-I have a link for VNS-L31 (c432, but is not very important) HERE LINK
-If you have other model (VNS-L31) pleas find a correct patch for you (VNS-L21, ...).
3. Find and download a EMUI marshmallow official full-ota update.
-for a VNS-L31 i advice choice a VNS-L31C432B160 full-ota update.
4. Unpack your update archive.
5. Create "dload" folder on your internal or external sd and put it UPDATE.APP
6. Reboot phone on TWRP recovery and flash "oem_info.zip"
7. Use dload methode for update (hold 3 buttons phone and dont release before "dload screen" appears)
8. Unlock your bootloader again (important!) And make a factory reset
9. Your phone reboot (please wait ) and done!
Ok now you are on official version, please update on setting menu >> update and choice, rest on official or flash a custom rom..
P9 lite brick precision:
In my personal experience the "p9 lite" is very easy to flash, mod or other tips and the risk of HARD brick is very very tiny.
If you see this page and your phone bootloop, relax, keep calm at 99,999% you have a little and ridiculous brick
Good luck and flash happy!

I can do everything up to point 6... won't enter to twrp... stays on Your device is now booting...
Update: I can now reach point 7 but now won't do dload (3 buttons) method... Huawei logo all the time. Can't even turn off the phone
In my other thread you post the same problem but is not entirely the same..
You succeeded to enter on fastboot mode? Flash recovery?
If you follow the steps 1-5 is impossible to fail the 6 point..
You have acces on fastboot mode or not?..

I did update the post... 3 hours ago I wasn't able to enter TWRP, some way I did managed, now I can enter fastboot, I did flash custOEM (sorry I don't remember exactly the name but it's the one of your post) .zip file. Now I can't do dload method, stuck on huawei logo. If I try to go to recovery, I got red message "phone fail validation"...
I know, I post on both but I was trying to do everything...
just tried... validation red error message won't let me go to TWRP now...
You have a VNS-L31C432?
Your phone does not enter at dload mode?
Wipe all partitions an retry flash a oeminfo for your model phone (if not C432 you need right oeminfo).

How can I wipe all partitions if stuck in Huawei logo? Is there a way to do everything from adb command line? (I'm using Mac and cannot use all the tools I've found here XDA neither hiSuite which is basically a backup photo/video only the Mac version).
Thank for helping, really appreciate
To answer your question in the other thread, yes bootloader is unlocked and I am on C432.
What's your rom have before the bootloop?
You have the right version of TWRP for your rom?
If you have a MM version Don't flash a TWRP for N.
Send me a link to TWRP version used (thread forum)

Before the bootloop I was on L31C900 (on the phone) but I did actually flashed C432B160 because I did rollback. TWRP used I've found in the other post where there's a OEMfile to flash (but for this I need to double check because I did look so many pages which I am not 100% sure.
I not have experience on other model that C435.
But i suggest to find a oeminfo for your variant (C900?)
For TWRP you need flash a version for MarshMallow HERE
Flash it and pas return here (fastboot flash return and first enter to new recovery)
Hi, found Windows emulator for MacOs so I extract from update.app boot.img and flash.
I did format all partitions as told using a proper twrp this time.
What's next step, system says NO OS INSTALLED?

Flash partitions on .img files is not needed.
Just find a corect oeminfo for your model phone.
Flash it on TWRP recovery.
Use dload methode to update on basical version (MarshMallow b160).
After that, unlock bootloader again and make a factory reset.
Switch on your phone (the first boot make long time).
Update on last emui on OTA.
Done!
After that you able to install a custom rom.

Thanks again you're saving my life!
IT won't turn off so been always on it won't keep the charge... Writing so because apparently it won't go to download mode (dload) if plugged in. On the other way if I unplugged from power it won't even start. Shall I force to download mode using console ADB or FASTBOOT? I had looked but can't find anything...

Correct. Because I'm not able to switch it off it won't keep the charge. When discharged, the minute I do plug on charge it wakes up... That's the loop...
My main question is: does a command exist to enter download mode using terminal?

You have a hardware bug?
No abd command to enter dload mode..
Try flash a update.zip with twrp (not guaranted)
After that unlock bootloader again and make factory reset.

Hi, I followed this guide to go back to stock from elite rom. I flashed my oeminfo.img on twrp and then went to dload combination. Do I have to unlock the bootloader after the reboot? Thanks!
Hi,
I followed your guide and it works perfectly thanks!

flashing rom via TWRP with frp lock?

Hi, I'm in a bad situation. My honor 9 lite (Europe) has no OS, frp lock. But it does have TWRP installed.
My question would be, since I can't flash an OS (given the frp lock) via fastboot, would it work via TWRP? Or should I just give up and buy a new phone?
Thanks a lot.
Best
Since you have TWRP, try using HURUpdater tool. It is compatible with H9L.

Hi,
thanks a lot for the tip. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error when flashing following the instructions.
I discovered that nonetheless I can flash roms with TWRP. There is one particular rom, this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/rom-t3753555 that works particularly.
However, my device with that rom keeps giving me an error "bluetooth keeps stopping". Any way to solve that?
I really don't know a solution.
Can't you enable OEM unlock in settings/developer options? so that to make frp unlocked?
Yes.
After that, I was able to finally flash stock rom
However, there's a new issue: wifi doesn't work. It actually seems like whatever rom I flash, wifi won't work the slider turns off as soon as I turn it on
Did you wipe data/factory reset through eRecovery after flashing? That is important in most cases!

No I did not. I think I used TWRP to do that. Will do with eRecovery next time and update you
I am still without WiFi.
I think the problem lies in the fact that my stock ROM comes from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/how-to/guide-unbrick-device-recover-bootloop-t3772563
I had oreo 8.1 before brick, and the rim above that I flashed is 8.0 and Indian version (not european). That maybe could explain the issue.
Problem is, I would need a system.img stock ROM to file and I can't seems to find that. In Huawei firmware finder, I only get update.zip kind of files and TRWP returns error when flashing that or when I use the HuRUpdater tool.
Also, I've noticed it's not just the WiFi, but also security options and themes for some reason
you need a working frp image which in twrp can flashed via dd... so the frp lock is gone...
In telegram group you can find image.

The system.app file you search for is in the update.zip file you get and you cannot flash update.zip directly from twrp, you need HuRupdater for that and the dload method doesn't work for almost anyone including me.
And you need correct the firmware for your motherboard if you want your phone to work properly.
First tick oem unlocking in developer options. Then unlock fastboot and flash TWRP.
Since you are able to boot up check your varient, the complete one not just the LLD but the rest too. Search for it in Huawei firmware finder and download the latest firmware for your model. You'll get 3 links and you'll need all three.
Download HuRupdater 0.3 zip and then rename the 3 files you got as told in the HuRu instructions. get twrp image and rename it to recovery.img and put all files in the same folder.If you want to completely revert to stock you don't have to have recovery.img but keep it just in case.
Then flash HuRupdater using twrp. You should be up and running if you did everything right.
You can then remove the recovery.img and then flash again using HuRupdater and relock the fastboot too later if you wanna play things safe using fastboot relock bootloader 'your code' .
please help me, honor 9 lite last night my flash rom forgot the data format so now can not boot into the operating system, locked FRP, can not enter the TWRP.
Hello, I know it's been a long time. I put the issue aside for a few months as I had another phone to use in the meanwhile just wanted to let you know i Just did the procedure you described and it worked perfectly! The phone is back to life :laugh:

(Help) My P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1) is bricked

Hello,
I was trying to install a custom ROM from TWRP to my P8 Lite 2017 and I wiped all partitions except MicroSD.
The installation failed and I got the stock ROM and then I discovered that my bootloader is locked. I can access TWRP and when I flashed the stock ROM the phone just boots to TWRP Recovery. And I can't even unlock the bootloader because the phone doesn‘t have any OS and I can‘t enable OEM unlocking from the system settings. And because I have TWRP, I can’t access Huawei Recovery. So my phone is basically bricked.
Any help will be appreciated

Use dload with a service firmware.
You need to flash this 2 times,once for the firmware and second time for vendor,and the firmware UPDATE.APP can be found in the update_sd.zip and the vendor UPDATE.APP can be found in the PRA-L31 or PRA-L11 folders (most likely you will have PRA-L31,you can find this in the engineering menu by going into the dialer and typing this: *#*#2846579#*#*,and then going to Veneer Informations and Version Info,but since you cannot boot flash PRA-L31 vendor).
http://androidhost.ru/6uc - this is latest firmware,but takes a very very long time to download
https://mega.nz/#F!nwhAWDjC!cNovAN6dKLlO_YZ9fjMbzQ - this is the first official firmware released,but download speed is very good
If you don't know how to use dload you can look it up on forums.

Dload works no matter what,at least I was able to enter it when I bricked my phone,even when I completely screwed up my recovery partition,so you should be good. Try using it with the service firmware I left you.

In dload,make sure you make a folder in the root of your sdcard called dload and put that in there.

I've tried a different firmware for my device and now I can't get to dload anymore so does it mean that I've chosen the wrong firmware? And by the way I read somewhere that if the dload says error it can depend on the microsd card.
I tried it again with the service firmware and I got to dload and it didn't have error anymore and now I've got everything worked and my phone is unbricked

Hello again, I've been using the older service firmware for few months now and now I decided to install the latest service firmware after I had no success with flashing the firmware through TWRP and I downloaded the service firmware put the necessary files to the dload folder and installed it via the software update in the dialer and typing *#*#2846579#*#* and going to dload that way. It installed to 100% and then when it restarted it goes to Error Mode and it says to update the firmware again but it just loops to error mode and I cannot do anything so I think I accidentally removed some neccessary files in the dload folder but now I would need to fix the error mode loop.
