So, for anyone in the future, thinking the frp key will help them... nope. Good key, command prompt says unlocking successful, frp still locked at bootloader. Total horse ****.

Hi guys,
Sorry I've not been around for a while - been having a little issue testing Kernels at the moment as I've managed to re-lock my bootloader! (Doh!). Posted what happened below in case anyone has any thoughts - can't say I'm happy it looks like I'm going to have to pay money to get the simlock removed again!
It started when I was looking into changing the MTD sizes so I could reclaim wasted space in /system and /cache so I could get ~620MB of usable space in /data for apps etc. To do this I had to first know what the current partition sizes are so I wouldn't screw up the partitions needed to boot the phone.
Unfortunately trying 'fastboot oem listpartition' was giving me:
Code:
FAILED (remote: oem unlock 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)
and when I tried to unlock the bootloader the SE way with
Code:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem lock 0xMy_Code
I was getting
Code:
FAILED (remote: Phone is already unlocked!)
"No problem!" thought I, fired up S1Tool and pressed the 'Restore' button thinking this would lock the bootloader using the testpoint method. Then I could unlock it the SE way over fastboot and perhaps the OEM commands would work.
It was a partial success, the phone lost bootloader but wouldn't power on. I couldn't get anything to work, and finally had to re-flash it using the FlashTool. From here I noticed the Sim-lock seemed to be re-enabled and I couldn't get in to FastBoot mode.
When attempting to unlock the bootloader I can't via the SE method because I can't get to FastBoot, and I can't through the S1 Tool method as it complains:
Code:
SETOOL2 SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, SEMCBOOT ALREADY PATCHED
I've a feeling I'm going to have to go back to the shop that unlocked it in the first place and get them to perform their magic again - no doubt costing me more money! Thought I'd post it here in case there's something I've not tried?
...Seems that Simlock isn't enabled as such, but putting in two different sim-cards makes it display "Emergency Calls Only | No Sim Card" :S
Starting to think I've really broken it!
Hi people!
I know, I'm completely newbie in this.
But I'm getting in trouble and confused about it.
The question is simple:
What's means FRP lock / unlocked and Phone lock / unlocked?
And what's the difference between them?
FRP means Factory Reset Protection. If locked your phone will be protected of unauthorized factory resets. If a stranger tries to reset your phone, the phone will ask for your Google password on startup.
So if you unlock FRP you will lose that protection but this is required too unlock your bootloader (that's what you called phone locked/unlocked).
Phone locked (bootloader locked) means that you cannot make any changes too the partitions of your phone for example the recovery. So you are required to unlock your phone to install custom recoveries and ROMs like TWRP or RR etc.
Hope I could help you clear some things up.
If you're planning to sell your Android phone, make sure to remove your Google account from it first or else the next owner wouldn't be able to use it.

actory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. Starting with Android Lollipop, FRP is "standard" in vanilla Android, and most companies making our phones have implemented it in their own models.Mar 29, 2016

Hi everybody,
My question is going to sound stupid, but now that I've got the unlock code for the bootloader, how do I unlock the FRP?
It is to this part that I am lost.
Sorry but I'm not very young anymore and not healthy. I had a big car accident and am much more on my phone and my computer

You need have enabled OEM unlock in Developer options for unlock FRP

Hi,
OK so I activate the OEM to unlock the FRP.
And for unlocking the Bootloader I can use Huawei Multi Tools?
Should I delete my Google Account or Huawei before doing these manipulations?
I do not have fingerprint or pattern lock.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
This video is for the Honor 8, but the same steps are used to unlock the bootloader on the Honor 9.

I unlocked the bootloader. Done on the instructions of the website:https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/step. After unlocking bootloader on my phone fastboot appeared the inscription "PHONE Unlock" and "Unlock FPR". On my device sprosili settings. After that, I re-entered entered the Google account, but the phone then began to hang periodically. I went into developer mode, done a factory reset there. And decided to turn back. Went to fastboot, blocked Downloader. Phone rebooted, then on the screen appeared the inscription: "Relock PHONE" and "FPR Lock". Out of fastboot, there was a black window where it says to restore the system through recovery in the air, but when I try to do fails. Help me, please!

First you should try the HWOTA procedure without rebranding.
I apologize in advance if I'm missing something or if I'm not in the right place, but I'm at a loss at the moment.
I have a Motorola E2 that I've forgotten the password to (It's been lying in my closet for a year). It's got the "No Command" recovery error(Probably from a one-click root I tried then forgot about). Therefore, I have no way of enabling USB debugging or unlocking the bootloader. Is there anyway I can get the recovery mode back without a password
If there's any more information I need to give, just say so and I'll provide it. Thanks in advance.

so I was unaware that the bootloader unlock was going to be a problem before I purchased this phone... I did some research before making the purchase and it seemed all was good.
I spent $17 with DC for an unlock... all I got was some nonsense "temporary unlock" SO once I run the temp unlock the phone says "unlocked" on both the phone and the FRP.
FYI.. I also tried HCU client... and it can find the phone but then when I hit "unlock" it says something about a COM error and cant get the code... I tried this with 2 different PCs as well.
I was able to then push the TWRP recovery to it via fastboot. I then did fastboot reboot and went straight into the recovery... and no luck. it brings me right into the EMUI recovery.
is there anyway that I can at least get into TWRP temporarily since I do have the temporary bootloader unlock? or any other way that I can push supersu via fastboot?
this is very frustrating...
Ok so I CAREFULLY re read the directions for HCU... HCU is to be run while the phone is still on in the OS. not in fastboot which was my mistake all along.
so the key is to go into the dialer and enable manufacure mode... then run HCU while the phone is still on.
another key is to disable the Huawei software ... IM not sure if this is necessary but I think its a good idea because I noticed that the software itself causes the phone to go back to Hisuite mode instead of manufacturer mode. so I went into windows services and disabled hisuite... and closed out of it.
Hope this helps someone else
and do not waste your money on the DC program!!! you have to purchase your credits from DC but dont use the DC client. I am currently working on getting a refund for my first wasted credits. also they charge 15 credits for this unlock which is $18 USD! but thats not so bad considering I got this phone for $499 from newegg brand new

Temp unlock lets you flash anything (stock images) from fastboot. So essentially you could flash a whole firmware using only images in Fastboot mode.
Twrp don't work as you need to be unlocked to use it, even if you have Twrp it will reboot to sec_recovery when you are locked.
Do you remember wich firmware was in your phone before you unlock your bootloader?

FRP is factory reset protection
It has nothing to do with OEM unlocking
What is your device?

It's a Huawei Ascend XT2 H1711. I mention OEM Unlock because literally every single post or guide on the subject insists that OEM Unlock be in the on position to deal with the FRP lock problem, and I can't even toggle it. And thank you, but I do know what FRP stands for. I've now realized it's only a problem for fastboot, anyway. I'm able to use Magisk and TWRP without a problem.

I have no experience with Huawei,
But have bypassed frp on several devices and never did anything with OEM unlocking.
I suggest searching YouTube for frp and your device, that's what I do.

Yeah, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time doing that for this one problem. Ive tried it all, but frp lock won't go away, and I can't flash/boot/wipe with fastboot. It's alright, everything else is working fine. Thanks for your time.

You can try to remove the FRP lock by means of executing this sequence of ADB commands
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/"
adb shell "am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity"
adb shell "content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1"
adb reboot
