Somehow, after relocking the bootloader, the android keyboard has refused to function anymore. And if i can't set up a wifi connection and configure my phone to start up, i'll be stuck and unable to use my phone any longer. So much for locking my phone to start the rooting process from scratch.

Make sure to unlock your bootloader and FRP is unlocked. Which firmware/region are you currently using?

I attempted to unlock the bootloader, which was the original plan, but my keyboard doesn't show up at all when i try to set up my wifi and sign into my phone to unlock the FRP. I'm stuck with Google Voice and i still can't find a way to start using my phone again because of it.

So I assumed you are in Nougat. Reflash update_data.zip again via twrp (if you are using it)

I can't do that either. My bootloader is locked as we speak. I was planning on trying to lock it back and then unlock it again then attempt to install TWRP again. However, my keyboard magically disappeared from existence after i locked the bootloader.

The one way now you need to unlock your bootloader and install twrp. Since internet storage will be encrypted. You have to format data then install update_data.zip and update.zip again.
P/S: You can't install nougat via dload that's why you need twrp.

You need to go bootloader mode. Shutdown your phone then press volume down and plug in usb cable. You will automatic go to bootloader mode the one with white background then type fastboot oem unlock your-unlock-password

If you are in Nougat. You can't enable oem unlock. Either it won't showing or in greyed color. You need to enable it from EMUI 4/4.1

Well that just made things ten times better.
I should probably just give up on the phone.
You can just "rollback" to Emui 4.0 and unlock the Oem Unlock setting in Developer Options.

That should work, one thing I always forget to do when flashing things at least factory roms is to go back to settings and enable developer options again then usb debugging. Did you do that?

I haven't yet tried Android 7 because I'm waiting for xposed. When you updated to 7 do you know if google drivers need to be updated? Not sure if that has anything to do with it but worth a shot.

I had to do a factory reset, THEN I was able to do the
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
.
I have tried downgraded my phone from nougat, but has ended in at bootloop only showing the red Huawei Logo.
Now i can´t enter recovery, can´t update using 3 button method only thing i can access is fastboot.
My problem is my bootloader is locked and therefore i can´t flash an recovery. And now i cannot figure out how to obtain my product key, so i can unlock the bootloader.
Any1 who can help me with this would be much appreciate.
What did you do exactly to end with endless bootloop?
I used the rollback file from this Thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...torial-rollback-n-to-mm-c432-devices-t3563955
Update went fine but afterwards it ended in a bootloop. The only thing i can access is fastboot.
The weird thing is that in fastboot it says my bootlader is unlocked with red, but i cant install an recovery. Its says acess denied and ask if i'm sure my bootloader is unlocked.
And thats why im back to trying to unlock the bootloader but i cant get the product id for my phone when i can't turn in on.. seems hopeless
I suppose that you did 3 button update metod. You have to factory reset phone. Press volume up and power button together and keep pressed until you see erecovery option for factory reset phone. Do it.

With huawei extractor extract (from B160 or what ever firmware is your phone) system, boot, and recovery img and flash with adb. Than you have to do reset.

Thanks for the suggestion.
When i try flashing it with adb it starts writing but then says "Failed (remote: Command not allowed)
Should have installed the proper drivers but still not working.
Same thing if try flashing with the L31 toolkit. Here it says "Something went wrong! - Maybe your boot-loader is locked?"
The only thing i can think of, is trying to unlock my bootloader again and see if its work. Even though it says unlocked in fastboot mode. But for that i still need the product id for my phone which i can´t get???

Unlock bootloader?
If you unlock the bootloader, you will be able to install custom operating in this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset").
Press the Volume Up/Down buttons to select Yes or No. Then press the Power button to continue.
Yes
Unlock bootloader (may void warranty)
No
Do not unlock bootloader and restart phone

I installed TWRP custom recovery and accidentally locked bootloader again!
And now I am stucked in a bootlooop what should I do
I am not able to unlock bootloader because my system won't boot.
I am not able to flash original/stock recovery image because my bootloader is locked..
Help anyone!
what chipset? Maybe use flash tool to restore system partition and/or recovery partition that should be enough
Hello xda,
my cousin owns the P8Lite (PRA-LX1) and gave it to me to attempt unbricking it.
The device is stuck in a permanent bootloop, showing the Huawei logo. When pressing the power button for ~10s, it simply turns itself on again (even when not connected to a PC or the wall socket), which to me is very strange behaviour but I do not own a Huawei device.
I can get to fastboot (https://ibb.co/ixPtAn).
ADB does not recognize the device.
Fastboot does not let me boot a temporary recovery (be it the stock one or twrp), neither does it allow me to flash any file.
I have tried downloading the update.app file onto the root directory of the sd card and force the phone into the update mode (power, vol+, vol- at the same time) but to no avail.
Since it is not my own device and I cannot boot into Android at all, I have no way of getting to the IMEI of the device, which I would need to unlock the bootloader.
Is this device permanently bricked and a lost cause or is there still hope?

Hi, sorry for the delay.
Try this, if not already tried: fastboot oem emmc_diag
It should check the status of emmc and tell you if it's ok.
Does this command: fastboot oem lock-state info work on your phone?
And putting the code Huawei sent you in this one fastboot oem frp-unlock?

Hi guys. So I finally found a way to unlock a bootloader on a Verizon Pixel. Without further ado, let's get started. This method works on Pixel and Pixel XL.
1. Remove Google account and any kind of screen lock (fingerprint, PIN, pattern, etc.) from your device.
2. Eject sim card from your device.
3. Reset your device. In setup wizard, skip everything, don't connect to WiFi, don't add fingerprint or any kind of screen lock.
4. Go to Developer Options and enable USB debugging.
5. Connect your phone to PC.
6. Open CMD in adb directory and type
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.phone
7. Restart your device.
8. Connect to WiFi, open Chrome and go to google.com (or any website really).
9. Go to Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking.
10. Reboot into bootloader and via CMD run
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
or
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
11. Profit
Be aware that unlocking bootloader removes everything from your device.

UPDATE: Confirmed that this method works on Android Oreo as well as Android P Developer Preview.
Uhm, how do you skip Wi-Fi setup?
EDIT: Guys, can confirm. It works!!! Just tested this as of now. The trick is to factory reset twice because the first reset leaves an indicator to the phone that you did a factory reset just now. Therefore, not allowing you to skip Wi-Fi connection in Setup Wizard. As for the steps, once you opened Google Chrome and visit a website, Go to Developer Options and wait until 3-5 minutes if the option to unlock is still grayed out. You might want to go back and forth one more time to see if the option to unlock is now enabled.
First try, didn't work. Gave it a second go, got it to work. If after you try to enable OEM Unlocking and its still locked, just wait 2-3 minutes with the screen on. Eventually it just unlocked and let me toggle it. Fully unlocked on a 8.1 VZW Pixel.
I think it's better if you remove screen lock and Google account from device before you reset it.
can confirm. It works

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll copy this into OP.
Confirmed working on Android P DP2
Remove your Google account before factory reset so it let's you skip wifi setup
I just tested this method on a Verizon Pixel XL 2 on the latest security patch and it is working perfectly.
I did a double factory reset and followed the rest of the instructions and then did a double reboot after connecting to WiFi and I can toggle the OEM Unlocking.
Thank you so very much for discovering this!

After a reboot the toggle is off and grayed out again... *spoke too soon*

Here are the usual commands for the Pixel 2...
Unlocking the bootloader
WARNING: This WILL wipe your entire phone. Please make copies or backups of any important data. This can also go wrong rendering your device inoperable. Proceed with caution.
On your phone, open Settings, navigate to "System" then "About phone", and tap on the build number 7 times.
Go one menu up, click on "Developer options", and turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking.
In your terminal, type the following command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Next, decide if you want to do a standard unlock or critical unlock. A critical unlock allows you to directly flash bootloader files, otherwise you will get an error when you try to do so.
Depending on what you decided in the previous step, run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
(OPTIONAL)
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Follow the prompts on your device then reboot!
Not quiet sure why it's rejecting the commands even though the switch is toggled?
