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.

How To restore ?
With locked bootloader you have no chance to restore without official Huawei Services via Download in eRecovery or payed services like DC Pheonix tool or FunkyHuawei.
Try the official eRecovery method first. If this doesn't work try it with HiSuite. Your bootloader is locked, that means that it should be possible, because the phone didn't detect any modified files. With modified files or partitions the bootloader won't lock normally.
If you have the code to unlock the bootloader you can search for HWOTA. Its a tool that you can use rebrand the phone. You find loads of guides on here to find out how to get the unlock bootloader code. If you find yourself not able to get the product id, serial number, imei to unlock it you can find it on the box that came. You only really need the imei and you can put it in here (http://www.imei.info/) and get all the other stuff. Then once you have the code you can run the bat in HWOTA and rebrand the phone through its instructions.
can't unlock because FRP LOCK (GREEN).... i was try erecovery method 100% download and failed installation.
Hi
I have a BIG problem with my P10 (L29C432) on Oreo 365.
Tried downgrade to nougat through Firmware Finder but update failed. Now i have this warning at every reboot.
I have LOCKED bootloader (never rooted phone). And i cant get bootloader unlock code (website not working).
Also cant enter fastboot mode because of that error.
Is there anyway to RESTORE phone with locked bootloader? I have tried to flash previous firmware with sdcard method (hold power,+,- keys) but update fails everytime.
Is there other way to flash new firmware?
I can use phone but at every reboot i get this message?
If there is no other way to flash new firmware than with unlocked bootloader... Where to get code for unlocking bootloader?
Thanks.
Edit:
I can enter fastboot mode but my bootloader is locked.
you have to unlock bootloader by sending all the needed info per email.
you need to send them IMEI, model version, S/N number, and product id and request for bootloader unlocking code this email: [email protected]
next time read about how to rollback to nougat...
Thank you. So I need to unlock bootloader.
Will try to get code.

If you don't have your "product id", you can't have the code for unlock the bootloader :/
The "Product ID" is a code into the system info on android :s
I am waiting for code from Huawei. They will send me code in next days...
you can get product id on imei24. com by typing your imei.
Now i have another problem. I think phone is "dead" now. Unuseable.
Tried to root phone and now nothing works.
Phone does not recognize SIM card at all.
If I go into settings and system information there is no IMEI number?
Can i restore this?
Or need to take it to service center? Or dead phone?
send the device against wall. Buy another one and forget averything about rooting and unlocking bootloader. Its for your safety, trust me.
I have experience with rooting and flashing phones (Sony). Never had problem.
So there is no way to restore phone?
maybe in repair store. Never heard about bricked device without imei. You can still try to flash original firmware.
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 read somewhere that you can not unlock the Bootloader on any Huawei devices if you have the January 2019 Security Patch Update. Also you can not rollback or flash previous updates. Is this true? I did get my unlocking code before they closed the website. But I did unlock my Bootloader at that moment. So is it still possible to unlock my device?
Thanks.

I tried downgrading my Huawei p8 lite 2017 to Android 7 so I would be able to partition my SD Card as mixed Storage, but the System Updater stops at 5% and the Update fails.
Thats why I assume, that you can not downgrade, but I haven’t had the chance to use HiSuite (maybe this would have done the trick).
Unfortunally I can’t really help you in the bootloader unlocking part, because I don’t have a bootloader unlock code and my old code fails(had to relock my bootloader after bootloop in August 2018).
But I think you should try unlocking if you haven’t already and you have no problem with data loss.
If your phone is boot looping try:
-shutting phone off
-[Dangerous]put phone in freezer for 2-3 minutes (I don’t know why, but this seems to help my phone)
-turning phone back on
still in bootloop: You have to relock the bootloader
---Why My Phone Got Stuck In Boot Loop---
I always had that theorie, that my phone got stuck in bootloop, because I didn’t reboot after unlocking and instantly flashed twrp.
I think there was an error while installing twrp, wich I didn’t notice.
Can someone share the unlock code for Huawei PRA-LA1?
every phone has another code,why you need it?
help needed,
I have Huawei p10 plus (vky-l29) with a dead motherboard. I bought a good board, but it is locked to a google account. The latest firmware 9.10.292 is installed on it. I tried all the tutorials on YouTube trying to doing a google bypass, but without success
So to summarize, the phone is locked and FRP is locked ...
I also tried to downgrade from 9.0 to 8.0 android dload method with SD card, but without success ... I tried several firmware, downloaded from andoroidhost.ru, but no luck . Phone does not run the firmware installation at all...
I hope, with 8.0 android I would be able to do some of the bypass methods with YT.
The only new thing I managed to find was the potatonv tool, and HWOTA8 method
Could I do a downgrade with HWOTA8, if I unlock a bootloader using the PotatoNV tool method?
Any help is welcome ...
