Prerequisites:
Updated to Nougat
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP installed
Basic understanding on how to use TWRP
If you don't know how to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP see post #2
I am using my device the [FRD-L04] as an example in this guide.
Step 1 Get Firmware
Create a folder on you computer and name it "oreo-update".
Go to the Firmware Finder website and find the Oreo update for your device.
Left click on the "filelist" and it will display three download links. One for "update.zip", One for "update_data_full_public.zip" and One for update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip.
Copy and paste each download link for your device into your browser's address bar and download them to your "oreo-update" folder.
You may see more than three files. The last one will have your model number in it.
Now go to your "oreo-update" folder.
Rename "update_data_full_public.zip" to "update_data_public.zip"
Rename "update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip" to "update_all_hw.zip"
Step 2 Get HuRUpdater
HuRUpdater is a great program that flashes unapproved and approved updates in TWRP.
Go to the HuRUpdater post and download the latest version to your "oreo-update" folder. Be sure to hit the thanks button while your there.
Step 3 Install Oreo
Copy "oreo-update" folder to your SD Card.
Boot to TWRP
I recommend doing a full backup and a wipe before flashing.
Choose install from the TWRP menu and select your SD Card
Navigate to your "oreo-update" folder and flash "HuRUpdater" it will prompt you to hit the volume down button to start the process.
HuRUpdater will flash the update for you. I ended up with three errors which didn't seem to matter.
Reboot and enjoy
Optional Flash TWRP
It may be possible this process relocked your bootloader. So you may need to unlock your bootloader again.
Download the latest version of TWRP from this post. This TWRP wasn't designed for our device but is the closest to a fully working TWRP I could find. DO NOT post any problems or bugs in that post!
TWRP 3.2.1-0
The fastboot commands have changed. The new command is "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img"
If you like this guide please consider hitting the thanks button.

The only things I have found is it can't decrypt the Data partition and it tries to mount a partition that isn't on the Honor 8. It will wipe the Data partition though. I'm sure it is only a matter of time until someone builds one for our device.

And how lo unlock bootloader? Webpage is unavaliable...

Edit: Here is a working link to Huawei unlock code request page.

Thanks for sharing,but i think link is wrong,i dont see where can i type imei number

Wanted to wait for ota because I thought I couldn't unlock my bootloader anyway. Recently found out I still had an unlock code on my pc somewhere. If I update with this method, will I still get future OTAs?

I seem to be having trouble making it past the registration. I get "system is busy". If I remember correctly you have to register first. Then you can request your unlock code. You might want to try the alternative methods listed.

I can't say for sure, but I would think so as long as you have the stock recovery installed. I know that when I flashed back to Nougat this way I was able to get OTA's.

Check this out. It looks like Huawei is giving us the big middle finger.

So if I flash this with hurupdater it'll automatically install the stock recovery again (remove twrp)?

I know it is old news, but I don't think the age of the article matters as much as the fact is that Huawei will no longer be giving out unlock codes. Just about every article you read is from that time period because that is when Huawei made the announcement. I admit I might have missed the bus on this one.

Is there any source code available? I don't see many people using something like this when there are device-specific alternatives that are open source as well.

This tool is not open source and it is device-specific for all Official supported devices.
I don't know others alternatives and I'm not interested in knowing them.
If you want to use it, ok, if you don't want to use it, it's always ok just don't bother others users

Then this app is mostly useless...
Don't write all in one, including boooader unlock if it does not unlock bootloader. The only way to unlock a Xiaomi Bootloader is via the official app. So either remove bootloader unlock or all in one from the title because it is misleading.

The name is that and will not be changed, this tool is not written only for xiaomi devices but also for others devices. Unfortunately Xiaomi devices needs to be unlocked through official method and this is why they have not been added until now. In all cases clicking on unlock you will be redirected to a good guide to unlock xiaomi devices.

Whatever it was designed for it does not work as intended with Xiaomi devices. So you should not have shared it with that title because it is not true. Without bootloader unlock you cannot do mainly anything and this app is not designed to unlock MI devices. It is my opinion that you shouldn't have shared it here under that name because it's very misleading. I've told you what you should do to make it not misunderstandable but you refuse to take my advice. See, whatever. You told your own opinion and I've told mine. Topic closed.

Again, i don't say what he said it's not true, i said that this is the name of the tool and that is the name of dedicated support threads. Unlock option is not available for xiaomi devices (except for Xiaomi Mi A1), in its place you will find the link to a guide to unlock the bootloader. Now if you want to tell me that a recovery on the tool is not working, or you want i add a new recovery to the list or you have problem with the tool, comment and i will try to help you, but do not keep saying unnecessary things.
Thanks and have a good day

You skiped some steps.
Even with a MIUI account there is an link that you need to apply to unlock and it will make you wait 7 days.
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Go to unlock now, keep your phone logged in the MIUI account for the 7 days

It's all theory. But i feel that your device is with an error when communicating with the account via USB.
I can think in only two possible solutions.
1 - Logout from the phone Mi Account and reboot, re login and try again.
2 - Factory reset the phone and try again.
If none of these work only thing i can think is try on a different PC

Once you have the unlock code go to: One Plus Unlock Token Page
If your phone does not show up in fastboot and you are on windows 10: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-fix-device-not-showing-up-in-fastboot-mode-windows-10.4194491/
The drivers will not install in windows 10 unless you Disable driver signing enforcement first.
In case you did not know, your phone comes with driver installation software that will show up when you plug your phone into your computer. However, if you have USB debugging turned on first, they will not pop up.
This is all basic stuff, but some times people need help with the basics!

Edited to add the following next step
One week later (pretty much to the second) go back to: One Plus Unlock Token Page (you should also get an e-mail with a link. Download the file unlock_code.bin and place it in the same directory you will be running fastboot from.
Don't forget that if you continue past this point you will wipe your phone and have to go through the setup process again. Your phone will also ask for confirmation of this.
Also, as of 11.0.4.6.KB09CB continuing will change your widevine to L3.
Open a command prompt or terminal window and run the following:
adb reboot bootloader

Thats good tip! I never have USB debugging turned off before 1st connection...
ALSO,
There are differences between

How long do they send the token

Can this be done with a temporary sim unlock?

No, requires permanent. Talk to TMobile support on Twitter and tell them you use your phone for development purposes.

Okay I know this is stupid, but since it takes a freaking week (I thought I'd sit down and flash Lineage "real quick"...joke's on me), does the OnePlus site want everything on BOTH lines of that unlock code section, appended together as one long string? Or is that two separate codes?

Just flash my EU conversion, update to the latest stable OOS, then go lineage away and forget this nonsense unlock.bin.
But to answer your question: Copy both lines as 1 line without any breaks or spaces. Then enjoy waiting 2 weeks for the code, if the website decides to work at all.

Thanks! Yep, in the end that's what I did. Flashed international FW with the MSM tool, then unlocked the bootloader without waiting for the token. Then spent about two more hours troubleshooting a bunch of unrelated stuff due to some user error, but in the end, landed with the phone on LOS 18.1 so I'm happy.

In case you did not know, your phone comes with driver installation software that will show up when you plug your phone into your computer. However, if you have USB debugging turned on first, they will not pop up.
This is all basic stuff, but some times people need help with the basics!
(edited for clarity)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited to add the following next step
One week later (pretty much to the second) go back to: One Plus Unlock Token Page (you should also get an e-mail with a link. Download the file unlock_code.bin and place it in the same directory you will be running fastboot from.
Don't forget that if you continue past this point you will wipe your phone and have to go through the setup process again. Your phone will also ask for confirmation of this.
Also, as of 11.0.4.6.KB09CB continuing will change your widevine to L3.
Open a command prompt or terminal window and run the following:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash cust-unlock unlock_code.bin
fastboot flashing unlock

I have done everything that I am suppose to and I will say this is the not the first phone I have rooted however I will say this is by far the most difficult. Now with that being said, have you or did you run into the error telling you to enter a valid IMEI. I know mine is correct T-Mobile verified it with me several times when they were so kind to network unlock my phone the same day I bought it. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Anyone have the conversion zip????

My problem is that my phone shipped with an incomplete serial number. The oneplus token website calls for an 8 digit serial but I only have 7 digits. OnePlus 9 Pro 5G from T-Mobile. Oneplus tech said I needed to add a 0 on the front end, but if I do that then the unlock code through ADB will not match to the change. Therefore my information is incorrect. I am in touch with Oneplus, but wish there was a third party token generator for my current details. Not sure if I have any other options. Grrrr!

Thank you, will look into the conversion.

matt314159 said:
Thanks! Yep, in the end that's what I did. Flashed international FW with the MSM tool, then unlocked the bootloader without waiting for the token. Then spent about two more hours troubleshooting a bunch of unrelated stuff due to some user error, but in the end, landed with the phone on LOS 18.1 so I'm happy.

craznazn said:
Just flash my EU conversion, update to the latest stable OOS, then go lineage away and forget this nonsense unlock.bin.
But to answer your question: Copy both lines as 1 line without any breaks or spaces. Then enjoy waiting 2 weeks for the code, if the website decides to work at all.

Shouldn't need the token on international firmware. A simple fastboot oem unlock should do it. Just be sure you have OEM unlocking enabled under developer options.

Are you on OOS12? If so, then yeah you do need it.
If you just flash the conversion, you can unlock it then upgrade to OOS12

[SOLVED] Redmi A1 (Ice) - Unlock bootloader: Error 0x1002

Hello,
I have recently acquired an Xiaomi Mi A1 device to try LineageOS.
I follow the steps of the official installation guide here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/tissot/install
I'm facing problems to unlock the bootloader. Despite many tries, the command "fastboot oem unlock" return the following error code "0x1002"
ADB version: 1.0.41
fastboot version: 33.0.3-8952118
USB debugging: ON
OEM unlock: ON
I have access to the fastboot mode, the device is listed with adb command "fastboot devices" and an entry appears on Windows Device Manager.

I have tried to factory reset the phone but the problem still occurs.
Also Mi Unlock tool seems not be usable because Mi Account APK (com.xiaomi.account) is not installed on the phone.
Yoru2647 seems facing the same issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/urgent-help-xiaomi-mi-a1-unlock-bootloader.4295115/post-87995167
Did i miss something? Any ideas about this 0x1002 error code?
Thanks for your advices.

You must have a Xiaomi account with the associated phone,
If you don't have an account, create one and use the official Xiaomi tool to unlock the bootloader.
Unlocking bootloader:
https://new.c.mi.com/global/post/101245
https://en.miui.com/unlock/index.html

Thank you for the answer.
I tried that but I'm unable to finish it, the problem is that I cannot bind the Xiaomi account on the phone.
I'm stuck in this step:
The phone was delivered with Android 12 (Go edition) without MIUI's layer. The build number indicate: 12 V13.0.8.0SGMEUXM
That means i have not "Mi Unlock status" on developer options or "Mi Account" on phone settings.
Is it possible to install additional components for bind Mi account on the phone? or any workaround to bypass it?
I desperately tried to install Xiaomi Account APK manually with adb: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/mi-account/mi-account-r-22-12-26-01-release/
But it failed with the error : "Reconcile failed: Package com.xiaomi.account requires unavailable shared library security-device-credential-sdk.jar; failing!]"
Is it possible to put one of the official MIUI ROM on phone even with a locked bootloader? (like these ones: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/tissot/)

Code name ACE not TISSOT.
And the phone is up to date
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/ice/.
If you really want to unlock the bootloader.
Try: download Platform tools and run CMD/Power shell from platform tools folder.
CMD fastboot oem unlock
Power shell ./fastboot oem unlock

Good catch, I should have paid more attention to this point.
I did not find any LineageOS ROM for it. I assume it is not supported on my phone for now.
However, i tried "fastboot oem unlock" command on both command promp and powershell with and without admin rights.
The result is the same: FAILED (remote: 'Unlock failed - Err:0x1002)
In the next days, i will continue to try few others things like changing USB cable, USB port, computer, ...
The problem also may be linked to FRP mode? i will check that too.
I will share the solution if i success.
Thanks

Your device has to be listed like Android Bootloader Interface, this image is referential, taken from the net.

Your device is not Xiaomi Mi A1 (Tissot) but Redmi A1 (Ice), they're very different devices, even one came with Snapdragon when yours come with MediaTek.
Pay attention specially if you think to root it or install some custom ROM on it.
It runs Android One, not Android Go (Edition).

In Xiaomi devices running Android One, you don't need (nor can't) to bind an account, and the Xiaomi Unlock tool is useless for.

Yep, I haven't found a lot of custom ROM who support (ice) codename.
Any better place here to post about "Redmi A1/POCO C50/A1+ (ice)"?
I don't seem to be the only one to make this confusion.

Well, not, unfortunately, it seems that your device is not popular at all among developers. As a "deposit" of custom ROMs, you should try AFH, SourceForge, PlingOS, apart than from Twitter.
Depending on how many similar are the two linked devices, then you should search for something for them.

The device is young, it's been released in September 2022. I don't expect to find a custom ROM before long time.
The generic system images may be a good alternative in this case, like this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-13-lineageos-20-light.4509315/
It's not my daily phone, i get it specifically to experiment. I would be careful, but for 80$ it's not a big loss if i brick it.
I will try it when i have more free time.
Thanks for helping

Yes, it's not much time since was released, the normal waiting time could be at least 6 months.
Yes, GSIs, are a good alternative.
Don't forget to back up all the partitions available, less userdata, that occupy a really huge size (about 100 GB of storage), and super partition (don't care about). And a last advice, never user format all feature through SPFT, otherwise you'll erase NVRAM partition, fingerprint, LTE signal, IMEI and more.
