bootloader unlock code different from frp unlock code.
installing other device firmware has chance to replace oeminfo.img partition. Changing this partitin often causes locked frp.
If lucky you can wipe from the erecovery that is loading. maybe even couple times. Then maybe it will boot. Other that that there has been no public mention of any fix.

do your best to fix it using hisuite or other methods if you can. if you have twrp that can help if you have stock recovery and locked frp your only hope might be hisuite and if that fails you will need a paid option like dc-phoenix or funkyhuewei. i only have experience with dc-phoenix, and it did fix my locked frp completely bricked phone, but i read that funky also works well but is nearly 3 times as expensive. (15€ vs 50€)

The displayed build number comes from the data part of the update. (Update_*hw_*.zip)
If you reflash again all three files , might be fixed

If flashing again is the answer to solve problem. Use my guide here.
You are on Oreo now so use the top portion. "Flash update"

I don't want to sound like rude or anything.
But I put it all pretty simple, I thought. Like 4 steps
Download files
Put files on SD card
Install twrp
Install file I shared
If that is over your head, maybe you should not have modify and phone.

[SOLVED]*HELP*Stuck on eRecovery - Bootloader Locked

THANKS @mrmazak !!! You saved my phone! And it did what I have been trying to do, the files you gave link of are Oreo! Thanks!
I have an Honor 7x 4/32. I wanted to try the Oreo, but OTA didn't show up. So i checked the OEM unlocking for just in case, and later on, downloaded & installed Oreo update via Firmware Finder app's DNS guide. Checked the compability and BND-AL10 looked fine even though EMUI said BND-L21C432 since the sticker on back said it is BND-AL10. Besides, I couldnt find L21C432 with 4/32 config. So I thought it was rebranded by the guy I bought from.
After update is installed, and it is performed by EMUI, it rebooted into eRecovery and even if i shut it down, it boots back to it. I am a noob and cannot install TWRP on guides because bootloader is locked.
All solutions I found online includes TWRP and I couldn't find a way to flash twrp.img, i get error like "writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
It is called soft brick I guess. What should I do now?
I am so desperate right now... I tried factory reset and wipe cache, still on eRecovery. Drained the battery and tried again, no change.

4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.

[NO ROOT] [BOOTLOADER LOCK] How to install an update [DLOAD Method]

I'm very happy
After spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to install an original firmware using the dload method, I managed to find a guide that explains how to do it and today I will report the main steps:
First of all, we need the Service Firmware of our device. It can be found here http://androidhost.ru/search.html. From this site you have to search ane-l01 (or ane-l21 if your device is dual sim). So download the relevant firmware (p.s. I saw there aren't the latest firmwares, in my case I installed the 8.0.0.149 version, not the 8.0.0.154 ).
Then extract the "Software" folder and copy the "dload" folder (with its contents!) to the external sd card.
Finally, enter to the project menu from dialer typing *#*#2846579#*#* ==> Software Upgrade ==> SdCard Upgrade.
Wait for the installation and before configuring the device enter in Recovery Mode (from the phone off, VOLUME-UP + POWER ON) and make Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Reboot System Now.

@Merlin_99, I was looking for this "dload package" for a while, thanks to share.
So, this mean that in the end the of firmware installation the bootloader will be locked.
This is good news for the guys that want lock bootloader instead of relock.

Yes, when you install the firmware, the bootloader will become locked (and the root will be lost).

No, so far B156 is better even than B160. I got flickering in the B160, so I moved to B156, not perfect but much better.
Now I'm in B150 because is the last firmware available that I can lock (not relock) the bootloader, I'm thinking sell the phone...

make sure you install the update for your particular variant , on the website i see B154 is for the L21 ( the dual sim variant) . i assume your device is from the C432 region and dual sim yes ?

Good mornin all
Thanks a lot man, I was hoping for a solution for the "lock" state for months and this is just perfect and works! I only have the Build 150 though because it's the last OTA I got on my country just like @kilroystyx so I can get that perfect "lock" state :good: .
This gets us the warranty back which is great, I was afraid of losing it due to the "relock" state, it's strange because Huawei is the only company I know that does this on warranty stuff after a lock of a bootloader...Weird...
Anyway, great job!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again,
AS

System Update Failed? Here is Possible Fix

This Is For those Who Stuck At Android 9 In WW Roms With ZS660KL Model
This Method Will Use Raw Firmware so there is risks if you do something wrong and maybe data loss so always backup​Bootloader Must Be Unlocked
How To Flash Raw Rom:​1-Bootloader Must be Unlocked! (To change fingerprint to ww and relock the bootloader to get OTA) If you are already on WW fingerprint this step aint needed or you want to stay on cn fingerprint just skip)
2-Install adb and fastboot
3-Download and extract the raw version you want i will give some below
4- reboot the phone to fastboot mode and connect it to the pc Use Side Port
5-in the raw firmware folder double click flashall_AFT.cmd This will take sometime and no progress will be shown so all you have to do is to wait till the phone reboot or get black screen if you got black screen just hold vol down and power button for some seconds
6-if your Fingerprint is cn Change it to WW With root explorer you can find posta about this step by step (skip this if you are already on WW Fingerprint)

or you can install update zips from asus if you want to keep bootloader unlocked :silly:

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to flash the raw firmware. That is stupid to say you do..

First of all, I just said it was a stupid thing to say because you don't need to unlock the bootloader and you must use the side USB c port to flash via fastboot. Second: learn to interpret proper English because I didn't offend anyone. End of conversation

If you didn't rooted or touched boot.img just use this command in fastboot and the bootloader will be locked again

You'll need to flash stock boot img if your rom version (to remove root) before locking bootloader

Any way to install TWRP on Emui 10/9 ?

Hi guys, I have recently update my P20 to the latest version available (10.0.0.171) on an EML-L29C432 and i was looking to flash TWRP and all i achieved is to boot on TWRP but without touchscreen.
I also figured out that we are now not allowed to flash partitions and to lock or unlock our bootloader.
Also, with the hiden dial code, in USB's behaviour, we have 3 choices, Default, Manufacture and HiSuite mode (which is the default one). Do you think there is a workaroud with that ? Or it's only for the OS session ?
As we are not allowed to flash, i can't even flash the patched recovery_ramdisk through Magisk
So do someone of you, was able to flash TWRP on EMUI 9 or EMUI 10 ?
Thanks for help

Hi, first of all you have got to check if your bootloader is unlock.
If you bought this phone soon enough and unlocked it in the meantime you are good to go mais it seems that your bootloader is not unlocked... And now it is gone for good :crying:.
Huawei has made the worst decision by not allowing people to unlock their bootloaders. I heard you can try some tools (search in the Q&A section) which are not free to unlock your bootloader.
As long as it is locked, you won't be able to flash ramdisk of system....

For a way to flash all partitions, read my guide here: How to flash custom kernel/ROM in EMUI 10 via Software Testpoint mode | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
You can flash with locked bootloader like this.
