I recently bought a cheap Honor 8 Lite with the chinese version (PRA-AL00).
I have a few problems with that (chinese apps that can't be uninstalled/ no pre-installed Google Play Store/ manual installation of Google Play Store randomly crashes when trying to install apps), so i decided to convert to the international version following this (Google "Huawei Honor 8 Lite PRA-AL00 Convert to International version", first entry, I am not able to post links) Guide.
I got stuck at the point where i have to unlock the bootloader, I got the unlockcode from the official website, but every time I try to unlock it via "fastboot oem unlock [unlockcode]" I get the following error:
...
FAILED (remote: password wrong)
finished. total time: 0.016s
I double checked the unlock code, activated USB-debugging and there wasn't an option for OEM unlock, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
If there is another solution, without the need to unlock the bootloader, I would also like to hear about it.

Hello, and I have mist built yesterday with my Huawei P8 Lite ALE-21 dual Sim.
I wanted to play this Rome yesterday
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73230358&postcount=2 b895_update.zip
This did not work and made a mistake.
After that, I re-imported the original ROM without any problems.
After all it was again, I booted into the bootloader / fastboot synonymous but works
as soon as I now the recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
I always get the following message.
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending ´recovery´ (25152kb)...
OKAY [ 0,797s]
writing ´recovery´...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.797s
The bootloader / fastboot is unlocked.
Did I shoot this now?
What could I do about it because the Huawei site where you get
the bootloader unlock code did not work anymore in Germany!!
Would appreciate a response or help very much.
Sorry for the bad english, i have translated with google
EDIT: it work again!
same issue
Hi I have the exact same issue with my Huawei p8 lite I can only go into fast boot mode but it says Phone locked and all my commands give me the exact same error Failed (remote:command not allowed ) and advice for me ? Thank you
Unlock the bootloader again (fastboot oem unlock <code>) and try again
Hi, I have Asia-Pacific version of the Huawei Mediapad M3 (BTV-W09C209B005). I'm trying to flash TWRP to gain root access, but I'm encountering problems in the preliminary stage. I've searched for similar problems in the forum, but couldn't find a solution that works for me.
So here are the steps I've done:
1. I received the official bootloader code from Huawei.
2. I used ADB and Fastboot to unlock the bootloader, but I noticed something peculiar: the screen says
Phone UNLOCKED
FRP UNLOCKED
I am the first owner of the tablet, so I was surprised to see that it was already unlocked. In any case, I tried the fastboot oem unlock command, and it returned this error:
FAILED (remote: password wrong)
3. I tried to proceed to TWRP flash on the assumption that the phone was already unlocked. But I get this error:
sending 'recovery' (23794 KB)....
OKAY [ 0.740s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished, total time: 0.740s
4. I tried relocking the bootloader, as per several XDA threads, before unlocking again. But I once again encounter an error:
FAILED (remote: stat not match)
I already contacted Huawei to make sure that the unlock code they sent me was correct, but I doubt that it'd be wrong because they probably just paste it after generating it in the system.
Any ideas how to proceed?
Interesting, first off if you want to check and see if you phone is BL is unlocked go to Settings, Developer Options and see if your OEM unlocking is grayed or doesn't move..if it doesn't move or grayed out then it's unlocked.. if it moves the it not unlocked.. check that your fastboot /adb are set up correctly. Though the easiest way to this ( unlocking the BL and flashng TWRP) would be to get Huawei Multi-Tool v8 by Team MT and use it,, ( grab the one in the Honor 8, as I know it does work) and make sure you ave the correct TWRP for your tablet..

Thanks for pointing me the Huawei multi-tool. So I tried that, and as suspected, the device is still locked. I am able to toggle the OEM unlocking and the tool says so through the lock status (oem lock-state info LOCKED). I proceeded unlocking with the tool, but I received the same error: FAILED (remote: password wrong)
The unlock code doesn't seem to be the problem because the tool displayed the corresponding serial number and it was a match. So there's something preventing me from unlocking the bootloader--it's probably the same reason why the fastboot says "PHONE Unlocked" even though it actually isn't. Again, I can't do the relock trick because the device wouldn't accept the Huwei unlock code.
Thoughts?
Hmm, why do some of these seem to be so picky when it comes to unlocking.. The multi too will copy what ever code you but in, sorry for the questions just trying to help narrow it down.. in the developer section there are 3 things that need to be ticked,, OEM unlocking, USB debugging and and allow ADB debugging in charge only mode.. Maybe you software got out of wack.. read here ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/help/bricked-mediapad-m3-t3746893) as it may help.. Not sure if HiSuite can restore it.
OEM unlocking and USB debugging are "working" in the sense that I can send commands from the PC via USB. It's just that I can't properly unlock the phone. I updated the drivers to see if that's the problem, but I still encounter the same error. I basically couldn't move forward with the link you sent because the first step was to unlock the device and I couldn't get past that. When I try to unlock the error is still 'FAILED (remote: password wrong)'.
I've seen some threads from other Huawei devices that suggest rolling back the firmware, but this is the first time I'm trying to root this device. And it's still on Marshmallow, which is the version that came with the first release of the Mediapad M3, so basically there's nothing to roll back to.
Why not upgrade to 7 as that is where most of the newer threads are written for plus it will redo your boot loader... giving you a clean slate to work with..and that might be your issue..
I can't update to 7 because Huawei stopped providing updates for my region. I failed to mention that the reason why I'm trying to unlock the device is to change the region and upgrade to 7.
May I ask where you are?
From Southeast Asia, but the tablet was imported from China. I planned to convert it to the European version so I can at least upgrade to Nougat. I'm still stuck though.
So Huawei sent me a new unlock key and it works! Problem solved!

Hello,
My Huawei P10 lite Single Card (WAS-LX1A) bricked after i tried to Update from 8.0 to 8.1,
now it just boots to fastboot and i cant Flash anything.
(Idk why but somehow it just boots fastboot when its connected to the pc and i have to change the cable in fastboot since the one i boot it with doesnt detect fastboot, and the cable works with fastboot doesnt boot it up.)
When i try to install an recovery it works, but when i try to boot my phone it just gives me the error screen, trying to install anything else just gives me the following Errors:
"Partition length error" or
"command not allowed" Bootloader is unlocked.
Please help me
not even the "dload" method works since this one isnt starting too.
dload won't work since you have upgraded to EMUI 8 and you can only use B181 to dload install, which is EMUI 5.1. Try HwOTA8 to downgrade to Android 7:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/hwota-huawei-p10-lite-t3776186
Use the guide in the post.
But before that, in bootloader under "bootloader unlocked", you have to check if there is "frp lock" or "frp unlock". If it's lock, you can't flash anything and you have to unlock it. If you have frp lock, write here and I will try to find a zip file I've seen in the forum for frp unlocking.
Also, can you tell me which ROM you tried to flash? I didn't know there is Android 8.1 for this phone, can you send me a link?

Both unlocked but i tried to install EMUI 8.1 (8.0 worked tho) i got 8.1 on xda just like i did with 8.0
not exactly which…
but could it be that the cable Transfers files wrong? its a bit damaged
it
(when i try to Flash a recovery as example)
I don't know, try another cable if you have at home, if still not working try if HwOTA8 can flash the required recoveries.

update:
i just noticed something....
when i got bricked my device said that frp and bootloader was unlocked but this wasn't the case, bootloader was locked and i could use oem "unlock code" just like it was never unlocked even when it said that bootloader is unlocked.....
may this be the same case with my FRP? this is was dc unlocker says:
FB LockState: LOCKED
USER LockState: UNLOCKED
unlocked
but i got no money for this program to unlock my frp or try to do it...someone got a similiar program?
you should check it too if you had a similiar problem just like me
did you found solution ?

I want to root my oneplus 8 pro IN2020. but when i try to unlock bootloader with
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
I have following error:
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed)Phone was have been installed and updated to latest version. No sim yet.
I'm using windows 10 and latest platform sdk.
Do you have any clues ?
I got the phone on banggood with oneplus sticker with MEID and CM sticker...
if it is a branded phone how to get bin file or unlock code. The unlock_token page is not available in my region...
on fastboot screen i do not have any bootloader version nor baseband version...
Did you connect your phone to the internet and enable Bootloader Unlocking in Developer Settings?
Good catch !
Many thanks....
No problem, seems to be a common mistake around here
In Huawei p9 lite VNS-DL00 I wanted to change the location to the European one to upload Android 7. I unlocked the bootloader using the PotatoNV method. When trying to upload twrp via both SRK Toll and minimal adb and fastboot, the error "FAILED (remote: image verification error)" pops up. How to solve this problem?
Ps. could it be related to the lack of oem lock removal options in the developer options and the lack of fastboot frp on the screen (only phone unlocked)?
did you try this?
2021 Unlock BootLoader for Free
I did a lot of research, and the only way to unlock the BootLoader for free is to use PotatoNV software. Just wanted to let you guys know, so that you dont waste your time. :) Tested and it worked on P9 Lite and P20 Lite. If you need a guide, i...
