Can't unlock bootloader, can't finish OS setup - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

So I upgraded to Nougat on my P9 Lite, unlocked boot loader, used twrp, flashed roms and everything went smooth. Saw a more up-to-date version with no bugs, so I had to downgrade to MM first.
I followed a guide, but I messed up somewhere and ended up having my bootloader locked, and I can't access the OS to enable developer options and oem unlock from settings. The reason why I can't access the OS is that I am stuck in the setup. I am stuck at the part where I have to sign in to my google account. It doesn't show a keyboard, only a microphone, and I can't use that for my password (it won't let me).
Any ideas?
TL;DR messed up during downgrading from Nougat to MM, now TWLR is gone, bootloader is locked and my main issue is that when I get to the google account sign in part during OS setup, there is no keyboard (I can only use dictation) so I can't sign in... So I'm stuck
Also, can I unlock bootloader without access to OS, without being able to navigate to settings, enable developer options and then oem unlock?

1. Stuck in OS setup? Signing in to Google? Hey, it's not obligatory, can't you just skip it?
2. Flashing ROMS locked your bootloader, it's normal, but I'm sure it didn't change the "oem unlock" setting you had surely enabled before. Go to fastboot mode and check Bootloader and FRP status on the bottom of the screen. If FRP is unlocked, you will be able to unlock bootloader again.
3. If you have your TWRP gone (flashed by stock ROM), flash the recovery partition manually - fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (download from Meticulus Project site).

It is obligatory, I couldn't skip it. I tried to use other methods of signing in, but then it asked me to reset password at the end.
Both Phone and FRP are locked
I think I have missed this, but I can't do it via fastboot because I keep getting "Command not allowed" whenever I try to unlock bootloader or do anything via fast boot.
Also, thank you so much for your time and input. It is much appreciated.

That's weird, I flashed my phone several times with different ROMS (not Nougat) and this setting (oem unlock / FRP unlocked) stayed enabled. Don't know where it sits then and how to change it without getting inside OS. But - what about TWRP? Oh right, you won't be able to flash it without unlocked bootloader... Oh, crap. I would try SRK Tool for Huawei to play with bootloader, it uses fastboot so shouldn't help, but maybe, just maybe? Maybe try flashing whole ROMs through dload folder on SD? Stock 120, 161, Nougat, I would try these. I hope there is some way to unlock FRP, probably it's possible in DC-unlocker (it's a paid software).

Yes, it's very weird. I haven't done the process a lot. But I've flashed a couple of phones I had before, went smooth. Nothing major like this happened before.
I will consider the SRK Tool and I did not know about the DC-Unlocker tool, thank you for telling me about it.
Flashing whole roms through dload folder only works with Nougat for some reason, and I keep getting stuck in the signing in problem because of no keyboard, someone told me that's incomplete software, I'm hoping that's the case, any ideas where can I get it from?
Again thank you Jagiel88 for your time and advice xD

No problem, unfortunately I haven't tried Nougat yet, so search for help on down/upgrade Nougat beta <-> Marshmallow threads .

Nexus 6p struck in boot loop

Hi,
My Nexus 6p was running the latest OTP update of Android Nougat successfully, Suddenly while using google maps it, restarted and went into a boot loop. All i can see is the unlocked bootloader warning (i had unlocked the bootloader earlier) and then the google logo.
I am able to go into bootloader mode and my system identifies my device as a fastoboot device .
I was able to access my stock recovery but while trying to fix my phone, i tried installing twrp recovery and now whenever I choose the option of recovery mode using my volume keys. it again shows the google logo and nothing happens after that.
I have tried many things, but I am not able to resolve my boot loop. Somebody please help me. Please guide me what should be my approach to this problem

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS ONLY IF ANYTHING BETTER DOESNT COME UP BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO FEEL GUILTY IF YOU "FUBAR" YOUR PHONE. I am not an expert in this stuff.. I can only follow instructions and the two videos helped me get out of crappy situation in the past couple weeks.
Follow the two videos below on how to re-install your drivers properly and flash and root Nougat 7.0
First go delete your driver from your PC via Device Manager. Anything that you can associate with N6P or Google.
Then watch this video on how to install new drivers.
This video on how to install Nougat
If you can access fastboot, I would just follow Heisenbergs guide (look In the stickies) and reflash the N stock images manually via fastboot. Also, make sure that you flash the recommended TWRP version that he has linked in his guide otherwise you will have problems with recovery. His guide has saved me multiple times when I messed up my phone.

I think I figured out mine problem. I am not sure what you mean by locked bootloader but in my case I was able to reboot to bootloader by pressing all three buttons (Volume up, Volume down and power button) at the same time.
Once you are there and if your bootloader is already unlocked you can flash your own android. Probably this process is called unbrick your phone. I am surprissed and sad as I am not allowed to post link which can help you. Ask admin.
Any related problem while following process. I can try as I am not very expert.
RIP my English.

And that's why it's a good idea if you do ANY tinkering to your phone that you have an unlocked bootloader. I have screwed my phone up a hundred times over but nothing that a fastboot flash of the stock Google images couldn't overcome.
I'm not sure what situation you're in but I would try to get that bootloader unlocked asap. Just know that when you unlock it, every partition on the phone will be completely wiped to include internal storage (sd card).
I wasn't tinkering that's the thing. I was on the Android beta but I have installed those OTA. I would love to be able to unlock the bootloader but none of the commands will work to unlock it because usb debugging was not enabled or the developer options and I can't boot it to change that.

How to uninstall CWM from Huawei P8, B200, rolled back from MM

I don't have an unlocked bootloader and i flashed the CWM. Now when i try to enter the recovery mode with buttons, nothing happens just turns the phone on normally. I searched for stock recoveries, but didn't found nothing.
I have GRA-L09, B200, Europe Open
Thanks for help!
To get an unlocked bootloader you must go to settings> about phone> build number
and then press build number 7 times
after you did that exit out of about phone then click on the newly-appeared 'developer settings'
there you should find OEM Unlocking and Enable USB Debugging
You'll get it from there.
I have the Dev Ops, but don't have OEM unlock.
But shouldn't you already have an unlocked bootloader to have DevOps?
Don't know. I don't typed any code in to unlock bootloader.
Are you sure you have DevOps?
---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------
And also try to do it not with buttons, but with your computer
I don't know the script for how to boot into recovery mode but to fastboot, for example, you'd type in >fastboot
when your phone is connected to your PC via USB.
Y'know, just search up 'How to use Recovery Mode' - maybe you just did it wrong
Didn't tryed it w/ adb yet.
ADB didn't worked. I'm trying a full hard reset..
Hard reset didn't do nothing. HELP PLS!!

That means you have a locked bootloader, so CWM didn't install successfully.
In other words, you need to unlock the bootloader first in order to successfully install CWM.
So, 1st step - visit the Huawei unlocking code request page, taking your time to fill in the form accurately & submit it.
[Btw, if you don't already have a Huawei ID, you can register for one here: http://www-file.huawei.com/en/my-huawei/register
Then use these login details in the above link to request for the unlock code]
2nd step: Once you receive the unlock code from them, use it to unlock the bootloader by issuing the following command in fastboot mode [the asterisks (*) represent your 16-digit unlock code]:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock ****************
Now you can attempt to install CWM. Where are you getting the CWM img file from?

Ok, so it appears you may have corrupted the recovery partition.
Is the phone otherwise booting into the system & functioning normally?
Also, can you tell us what you are wanting to ultimately achieve by installing CWM?
Just to confirm the bootloader is unlocked, run this command in fastboot mode & let us know the result:
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
Ok, I just read your post in the other thread about wanting to update B200 to B370.

As the guys already said, you do not need to install anything in order to update an official rom.
So, let's leave out CWM, bootloaders, etc for now, & help you update only from B200.
When you try using TopperBG's method to update, what happens?
What is your current FULL firmware version? It will be in this format: GRA-L09CxxxB200 - if everything else is as I've mentioned, I'm interested in the Cxxx part.

When i'm trying the button method to enter recover, the phone just normally turns on. When still hold the buttons, black screen. It's with the abd too.

1. You need to install stock recovery for android 5(unlocked bootloader is required).
2. Then you can use the dload method to update.
3. You can flash TWRP after that because no-one uses CWM.

Messed things up with upgrade/downgrade?

My wife got a P9 Lite L31. I wanted to upgrade to Nougat. I finally succeeded, but after that I messed things up. I tried to do a clean intall with a update that wasn't ment for this.
In the beginning I could still enter the Nougat recovery, but I wasn't able to reinstall the update.zip. The device wouldn't boot, etc.
I tried to do many different things, but at this moment I cant enter TWRP anymore, I can enter fastboot and is says:
PHONE Unlocked
FRP Unlocked
But flashing an other TWRP recovery doesn's work because I get an error:
(Remote: Command not allowed).
Also relocking the bootloader doesn't work because is gives the same error as the one above.
I can't flash a OEM file through fastboot because it gives the same error as the one above.
I can't use HiSuite because it says it does not support the phone.
I don't know what else I can do right now.
I tried the 3 button method, but I can't get in the official recovery. The phone reboots to some kind of recovery where it wants to update the recovery through wifi, but it ends up with an error that it can't fails to get the package info. But there is no option to do a factory reset (I've put the MM update.app file in sdcard/dload folder).
Any ideas what else I can do to recover the phone?

Ok, did not expect to do that again, but I did it.
What's the next step? flash a nougat recovery? flash a oem recovery?
Fastboot now says:
Error!
Func NO: 11 (recovery image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed)
Looks like fastboot isn't recognized by the computer anymore after the re-unlocking of the bootloader.
Windows device management also doesn't see the device. Not even as an unknown device.... Looks like the bootloader unlock completely bricked the device.
Well.
You must change your motherboard.

Try to discharge your battery by leaving it on Fastboot mode.
Charget the batery and let it boot itself.
If it boots in the software, it will be very easy to fix. If no, then changing the motherboard is required

To be honest, nothing.
It can do two things, you can let it boot and then it says it's booting, and that's it (after the warning that the bootloader is unlocked), or I can boot into fastboot but the phone is not detected by the computer. Device manager doesn't see the device at all not even as an unknown device. Nothing. So no way to flash anything using fastboot. KI also can't get into the fastboot&repair.
So yeah, I decided to send it in for repair.

No Recovery

I think i made i grave mistake. I want to upgrade my p9 lite to nougat so I decided to unroot my phone. The unrooting is successful with the device still booting. So next thing i want is to flash back my stock recovery so I can update my phone through OTA (this is where I made a mistake.) I tried doing it by flashing a full MM Rom that i got directly from huawei through dload method. The flashing went smoothly or so I thought. My phone got stuck in a boot loop and I cant seem to access recovery. eRecovery is also inaccessible so I tried reflashing the full MM Rom through dload method but I can't get it to work anymore. I tried it several times with no luck. I also tried reflashing meticulus' twrp through fastboot method but I always get an error saying "remote command not allowed". The bootloader is still unlock btw.
Someone help me. I don't know what to do anymore... :crying:

The bootloader appears unlocked, and says so, but it's not...I encountered the same situation with my colleagues device, you need to unlock it either way(careful this will wipe all your data if on nougat, but if on MM after unlocking keep phone connected to PC as it reboots and quickly press vol down+ power to get back to bootloader In order to flash TWRP, this will preserve your data partition and system), and try again, you need format that data partition by using changing format to f2fs then ext4...after this reboot, if it can't, reinstall the file In dload folder and go to stock recovery(disconnect phone from PC to do this if it fails) and do a factory reset.
.... if this fails, debrand And install MM or NOUGAT for your newly debranded system.
If this fails, which is highly unlikely,PM for un orthodox methods.

The problem is I cannot access recovery anymore. After trying to flash back full rom from huawei, i cannot access recovery anymore no matter how hard i try. eRecovery is also not accessible so i cannot turn off my phone. I tried flashing twrp trough fastboot i keep getting an error saying "remote command not allowed". Dload method is not working anymore. If only I can find a way to flash twrp, then I can restore the dump i made using meticulus' twrp.

Hi guys, i Got the SAAAAAME Problem, this is all about what i PMd to you danerrickcuba FRP lock and bootloader unlocked. can't go to recovery, but has access to fastboot and wasn't able to do anything to fastboot.
Already fixed my phone. Had to pay 15 euros for DC Phoenix (this software saved me from bringing my phone to huawei service center to have it fix. Thank god!) so I can fix my phone. Recovery, eRecovery, Dload method working, and relocked bootloader. Currently updating my phone through OTA. Tnx danerrickcuba for suggesting methods to fix my phone....

i have the same problem
bootloader unlock and frp lock ,bootlooping,rec&e-rec destoryed
if you do not log out google /shut down "find my phone"/check oem-unlock in developer mode before downgrading or flashing ,you will get "frp lock" warning
bootlooping may come from wrong update.app. eg. i use dload method to flash rollback(5.0-B300) pkg in EMUI4.1 , my rec and e-rec are destoryed
however, i think fastboot command could do nothing to "bootloader unlock ,frp lock,rec and e-rec destoryed ". i do not know how DC-phoenix fix this and i pay a new motherboard for my mistake

I used the EDL tool to return to latest stock oreo, but it seems that there is no way to access fastboot/bootloader on this update. I've found many guides for other models or older versions on how to get fastboot but none of them seem to be specific to my model and I am not than keen on bricking my device again. Could anyone help me out on what process I should go through to be able to lock my bootloader?
This is the EDL package I flashed: A2017G_B03_OREO_FULL_EDL

I'm not even sure if you can lock the bootloader in stock+ Oreo, but it should be possible. What you can do is go back to MM (MM B10 should be fine), then use a fastboot package for MiFlash (such as A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL, it works even though you have a G) or maybe check if EDL Tool has an option to install fastboot, i don't remember.
The other way around it is not locking it and just using a modified bootloader to conceal the 5 second screen. Good enough for sending the phone with warranty. If you'll sell it you might be able to sell it for more if the bootloader is unlocked

Thanks I checked the Axon 7 Toolkit and turns out it does have fastboot unlock as part of the process of unlocking the bootloader. Though it techinically doesn't support Oreo I chose the nougat one and it still did the trick albeit with another hardbrick, once locking the bootloader I had to wait for the battery to drain again before I could get into EDL and flash back to Oreo. Very painful proccess, would not recommend, should have just used your method of going back to marshmallow locking then updating again. Thanks anyway mate, the help was much appreciated.

I never mentioned the axon7toolkit. That one is finicky, I don't recommend it. I was talking about EDL Tool (you might even find it if you google it), it's here in the ROMs, kernels, development section.

you need to flash original stock rom for your device trough edl. (rom your device came from factory,you need B11 marshmallow)
then boot into system,unlock developer options.Allow oem unlock and turn on usb debugging.Now connect phone to laptop and check the dialogue on your phone that ask for usb debug.Unplug phone.
When you did this you want to flash TWRP trough EDL.
Now boot in TWRP and flash UnlockbootloaderPackage from DrakenFX.
Reboot system.
Now turn off your device and boot into fastboot,connect your phone with laptop and open ADB terminal on your laptop or use Axon7toolkit.
In terminal enter fastboot oem lock,or in axon7toolkit choose lock bootloader.
Your bootloader is now locked.
PS: you dont need locked bootloader to recieve ota's,and make sure you are on the firmware your device came shipped with!!
You need a locked bootloader to get rid of the warning message ( dont flash any mod package that claims it delete the warning page)
