(SOLVED) So I wanted to debrand my phone, and I saw this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/c432-oeminfo-flash-twrp-t3384903
problem is, the oem I flashed with twrp was for the p9 lite, now my phone doesn't boot inside the os, it only goes to huawei erecovery but the download always fails. I can boot to fastboot mode but everything I try to do it says command not allowed, only fastboot devices work
I hope someone can help me as I really need my phone for work, thanks very much
my original cust was C02
I also have a twrp backup I did, but I just cant get inside twrp because as soon the phone turns on it goes to erecovery
Edit: i finally resolved and I'm going to really help you if you flashed the wrong oem file just like me, just follow these steps:
1. since you installed a new oeminfo, you are gonna need to unlock the bootloader again, (just like you did the first time), but wait! here is what I did wrong, when you request an unlock code, huawei in the unlock page is gonna ask you for your imei and serial number, I was lazy and I got my imei via fastboot instead of checking the one on my phone's box, worst idea ever because when you flash another oem your imei is gonna change so that's why in the site it said sn and imei are mismatching, so take the IMEI on your phone's box and NOT via fastboot. Anyway, let's go to part 2
2. in the unlocking site they are gonna ask for a product id wich you can get by writing *#*#1357946#*#* in the phone's dialpad, but you're probably thinking "how can I do that if my phone does't boot the os?" but don't worry my brudda! just download this https://cloud.mail.ru/public/KGmS/1cEhHg1G6 , open it and chose huawei y300-0100 as product model, then put your IMEI (take the one from your phone's box!!) and it's gonna give you the product id you need in the huawei site.
3. once they give you the unlocking password, power off your huawei and connect it in your pc with your usb while holding the volume down button, you should go in fastboot mode
4. once you are in fastboot mode write in the cmd fastboot oem unlock (9982883838382365) <<(instead of this numbers write the unlocking password they gave you in the huawei unlocking site) aaaand done, you unlocked the bootloader once again.
5. if you previously had twrp (before flashing the wrong oem file) it's gonna pop up when you boot the phone, now you can use fastboot or twrp again to flash the right oem (or stock rom)
I REALLY HOPE I'M GONNA HELP YOU BECAUSE I KNOW HOW BAD IT FEELS WHEN YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE LIKE I DID!!
Now bye everyone I need to go play soccer and I'm late

FRP status? (in fastboot)
Phone status? (in fastboot)
unlock the bootloader again, even if it says its locked, after that fastboot should work fine. then you can try again booting into twrp and flash the right oeminfo

I got it directly in the site I also tried this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/how-to-product-id-bricked-p9-t3561156
but when I click on commit after writing all in the huawei unlock site bars it says SN and IMEI are mismatched
I mean you really f***ed up there. I thought that you could restore the device by eRecovery but If you would do that you would brick it completely bc it would Download everything for the p9...
you can't do anything without the unlock Code.
You could otherwise try to force upgrade via dload

You could try this Generator https://cloud.mail.ru/public/KGmS/1cEhHg1G6

Hey all,
So I've heard that Huawei has stopped giving out unlock codes? I tried to go to their website to apply for it (giving my IMEI etc) and instead of giving me a code it just says 'please contact Huawei for questions'
I'm trying to set up project treble with it if I can figure it out.
Thanks!
You can with dc unlocker. You Just need to pay 5 euros and they Will unlock boatloader
I got my code on 08/06/2018
In the morning at 7:05 AM IST on 08/06/2018 i applied for my bootloader unlock code and i got it easily. BTW did you cross check other pre-selected options? Like 1st one asking EMUI version? Maybe that's the reason of you not getting unlock code.
Try again or Use the mailing method(I don't know much about but you have to mail the support to obtain the unlocking code and it might take upto 2-3 days)
Just got my code for bootloader unlock directly from Huawei no issues, although i will not be using straight away i have kept it in a safe place.

I tried through their portal, and via email. This was their response:
We do apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing, however, it is our duty to inform you that Huawei Canada does not provide codes to unlock the bootloader, root the device or provides any tool/code to modify the phone internally. We kindly inform you that this action can potentially "brick" the phone or in other words, renders the phone completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have no control over how unlocking the bootloader or rooting the phone, will affect your device.
We understand that you might be able to start the request to get the bootloader unlock code from our EMUI website, regrettably, your device does not qualify to receive this code, since the Huawei Canada warranty policy limits us to do not provide this code in order to prevent future inconveniences to our consumers.
This bootloader unlocks code, it is just limited to be available for certain specific regions.
We are aware that you can find unofficial information over the internet, about how to root or unlock your phone and due to our Security and Privacy Policies, we cannot provide you these codes or tools, for that reason, we cannot assist you in that matter.
We highly recommend you refrain from taking these actions on your device.

I read the instructions for unlock of Huawei mobile, it requires you erase the Huawei id.
How does that affect warranty?
Can you reapply the old id if necessary?

No, you can't. DC-Unlocker neither autodetects the phone nor is it in the manual selection list. Also https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones says no bootloader unlocking service for said phone.
On the other hand Huawei support gave me this reply (translated by me) :
Hello [censored],
sadly the bootloader unlock code service has been terminated completely. I'm really sorry but I can't help you.

Thanks for this, it appears to be the only bootloader unlock method currently available. Have you actually done this yourself? Can you (or anyone else) confirm that it works?

Yep, I mean the tutorial.
I have used this method a good few times, all successfully .
Dc-Unlocker/HCU allows direct unlock on a lot of models and gives the unlock code on others.
To use this code, put phone in "fastboot" mode and issue the command :-
fastboot oem unlock code
Phone should factory re-set (erasing all user data) with an unlocked bootloader.

I can confirm. There's just one thing to note: Deinstall the adb drivers from Microsoft and use the ones shipped with HiSuite. Else there will be no virtual COM port and as a result the tool won't find the phone. [EDIT]And don't try to use the tool in a VM. Sadly it refuses to work there.[/EDIT]
Can someone please point me to instructions how to do that?

1) Enable Settings > Developer Options > Enable OEM Unlock
2) Enable Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
3) Turn off phone
4) Press volume down key while connecting the phone to USB to boot the phone into fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot oem unlock <unlocking code>" on the PC the phone is connected to (install adb and fastboot first)
P.S. Many thanks to @Sparkrite for pointing us in the right direction!

Great, thank you! It's reassuring to know it works reliably. And I'm glad the unlocking process itself is so simple; I remember now having used the same method on another phone some time ago.

Thank you so much. With this method I successfully unlocked the bootloader of my Huawei Honor 9 Lite. No problems, just one oddity – the HCU software warns you that reading the bootloader unlock code will wipe your phone, and you have to acknowledge that to continue. This, of course, is not the case: it is using the code to unlock the bootloader that causes the phone to do a low-level reset. Presumably a mistake in the wording.

I used HCU to read the bootloader unlock code before I saw your message, and so had not uninstalled the Microsoft ADB drivers. I had already installed HiSuite. It still worked for me, so presumably it is not necessary to uninstall the Microsoft ADB drivers unless HCU doesn't recognize the phone.

Many thanks to those who contributed to this thread. I had no trouble unlocking the bootloader of my device using HCU after purchasing credit from DC-unlocker. At only 4 euros it was worth the money. The posted instructions were clear. Once HCU provided the code all I had to do was send it to the phone using fastboot..
I have attached my unlocking software, if you are still on android kitkat you can immediately unlock and if youre on android 5.0 or 5.1.1 the software will help you downgrade, once you have unlocked the bootloader you can upgrade back to the new software.
Thanks, working trough it on *nix atm, i tried the method described to unlock the bootloader officially, or so i thought, the method has been removed from the Huawei web site. Registering an account was required to obtain the unlock code but this resulted in me having to editing the page to add my country number as the country was not listed to get the sms unlock code.... At the moment i am preparing to hack the device but have not currently found the file for the B856 firmware it's running. I do not want to for example downgrade the baseband, the baseband will need to be hacked a little bit in order to get Android 7.x, i believe is the case.
Rooted my system and backed up all the partitions. Everything but userdata that is,

This software is for the p7-l10 so im not sure if it will work for l12 but it may work, just download it, connect your phone via a usb cable, run the bat file and then choose the option you want from the listed options (unlocking bootloader)
As I can root the huawei p7-l12 the apps to perform this procedure are automatically blocked, I mention it because in the executable root appears necessary.
Hi, I can confirm that this method works for the huawei p7-l12.

So I am stuck with this at the moment. To unlock the bootloader, I need to have the phone rooted. And to be able to unroot, I need to have an unlocked bootloader.
I already tried to downgrade back from 5.1.1 to a lower version, but I was not succesfull.
How can I get an unlocked, rooted P7?
That is nice, thanks.
Howeever I need to get back to 5.1.1, while keeping it unlocked/TWRPed, will OTA work, or i need to do incremental flash through TWRP? As i understand doing it by UPDATE.APP would lock the bootloader again?
EDIT: never fk mind.
You know what... DC Unlock really gives you the code for 4€, and it takes 60 seconds.
So after 5 hours of downloading and flashing roms, now I suddenly have TWRP and Magisk after 5 minutes and easy instructions. Couldn't recommend more.

after unlock bootloader of your device your data has been erased ?
hi all,
Just having a thought (might not work but thought i'd ask)
Some OTA's / Firmwares which you can install from the bootloader have the ability to re-lock the device, would the same be possible for the other way around?
I mean i'm on a locked bootloader now cos of the crap i installed which updated me to 9.1, it relocked the bootloader, I can turn on OEM unlocking (FRP) but obviously it remains unlocked.
Would there be a way to repackage a firmware package so that it does the opposite to re-locking?
I think everyone has pretty much given up on Huawei devices, I was just trying to disable zRAM and i can't.
Any thoughts ? Is this a possible avenue? or is this simply not going to work?
I'd guess the latter but thought i'd ask.
Which firmware version relocked your bootloader? I can perhaps take a look at it in my free time.

I don't think Huawei will give you the unlock code a second time, but maybe you will be lucky, who knows.
Maybe you can retrieve it from an email from them!?
Edit: You can download your HuaweiID data from Settings - > HuaweiID - > Privacy Center but i doubt you will get the bootloader code from there

I've been real busy since I asked about the whole thing but I was planning to follow that exact guide. It unlocks critical, right? From there I install Treble and Custom ROM and theoretically, if it somehow bricks (seen a few people being unlucky) critical unlock will enable me to unbrick?

Hello, in my case in December 2021 it was the first time I tried it and it went well, you have to strictly follow the instructions (make sure before you start that you have the correct connection with the PC in my case with W10-64b, the telephone connected, recognized, with ADB mode and "Unlock bootloader" activated and the ADB environment and tools running on the PC) and be patient since unlocking the bootloader with the Unlock Tool has 2 stages (the second I think I remember is the "critical unlock") so you have to let it go to the end. Once the bootloader is unlocked, when you restart the phone you will get a message that will always appear when you restart it, warning you that the bootloader is unlocked. Beware that by doing so the phone will be reset to factory settings and all user data will be lost so make sure to make a backup before. At the end of the unlock process you will also be asked if you want to donate through PayPal any amount of money voluntarily to the developers of the Unlock tool/techmesto. In short, the key is to read the instructions very well and follow them exactly. After the unlocking of the bootloader and the installation of the Treble you can now put any custom ROM. I hope the whole process goes well for you.

Thank you very much for the detailed advice. If I can bother you for one more thing, there's multiple Treble threads/guides on here and some seem (!) outdated or conflicting. Could you maybe point me to one guide/thread you recommend? I have the Nokia 8 TA-1012 here.
I've flashed and rooted maybe half a dozen phones over the years while always just lurking and reading here but in this case, it seems so much riskier and complicated, so I appreciate any and all advice.

This is the only one I tried and it works for me, remember to download the revert firmware too (https://github.com/resident-nokia/t-virus/releases/tag/5150-revert) because it posible you will need it.
