Pretty sure DC Unlocker only works pre Oreo (Android 7), so you'd need to manually downgrade to a supported build to unlock. Check your model number (BND-Lxx) here https://pro-teammt.ru/en/online-firmware-database/

Bootloader unlock worked but can't root?

Thanks to OP for instructions on unlocking the bootloader.

I was on the latest Oreo security patch but was able to downgrade to N using the hisense app on my Win10 machine.

Problem right now is I can't install the TWRP that is mentioned in OP's link about rooting.

Bear with me but I'm not well versed in doing this. Although I have rooted/jailbroken phones before...I really don't understand how the process comes together...but can follow directions...

After the unlock I upgraded to 8.0 and then to 8.0.0.358 the latest patch.

So after putting the TWRP from the mirror link into the ADB/fastboot folder. I ran CMD as administrator

I was able to write the TWRP recovery file running this command:

fastboot recovery_ramdisk recovery.img

but could not do the "partition 2" TWRP write that the guide mentions.

I got some error trying to do fastboot erecovery_ramdisk recovery.img

If I volume up and power button combo I get a function 11 and function 2 error.

Phone appears to be working otherwise. Anyone have updated root instructions for Mate SE running Oreo?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
The TWRP mentioned will probably not work on Oreo since that guide was written for Nougat. I unlocked about a year ago and upgraded to Oreo before rooting with Magisk. The TWRP I used was twrp_p10_lite_0.3. Haven't changed it since.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Blitz_s14:
My Mate SE is on 8.0.0.358. I have also tried the things listed above with no success. Does anyone know if its possible to downgrade firmware? If so would it be possible for someone to point me in the right direction?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
I was able to downgrade to the Oreo service rom followed by using the tool available somewhere I don't have mine any more. There is a telegram group that can help you out. But I don't have there links no more. After Oreo service rom there are 2 tools. You have to buy credits for DC unlocker service and I used the second tool to actually do it. The DC unlocker credits are compatible. If you can find the telegram group. For honor7x those guys can help you. They are awesome

BTW the credits for DC unlocker are like 4 or 5 bucks. Some devices can use a unlock method they do. Called slock which is free but you have to wait. Also in the groups. They can lead you better than I. I only had mine for a short while and ended up letting my neighbor use it as he lost his phone. But very awesome device
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Blitz_s14:
I was able to downgrade my Mate SE on 8.0.0.358 all the way to BND-L34CC567B330 (8.0.0.330) using the guide above and Firmware Finder via the Multi-Tool for Huawei. After its been downgraded follow the guide from page one using HCU to get bootloader code.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] peestandingup:
I read EMUI Flasher app doesn't work anymore so you'll prob have to use the HWOTA method. Here's the guide: https://xdaforums.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649 And find your Full OTA files for your model here: https://pro-teammt.ru/online-firmware-database-ru/ That should put you back to updated stock (that's upgradable). It left my bootloader unlocked but YMMV. Keep the unlock code just in case.

It looks like the HOWTA zip link isn't working or was deleted, so if you can't find it lemme know. I have it still.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] codebræker:
Thanks for the quick reply. I have already achieved it using dload (https://xdaforums.com/p10-lite/development/service-rom-b362-c432-upgrade-o-o-n-o-t3813946).
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mantarkus:
Nope, it didn't work for me. I'm obviously doing something wrong because I definitely can not downgrade and been trying for so long that I feel I'm done with it. I'll just put the phone in a box and throw it on the bay or something. I got no use for it if I can't root it. Stupid Huawei that thinks they own the devices after we've paid for it. That's the first and last Huawei I ever buy.

End of rant.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mantarkus:
So with this lockdown going on I thought I'd try it once again since I got time on my hands. Well after doing all the process again (and query to Team MT was successful) at first Hisuite was "No Internet Connection. Please Check your Network settings", but after leaving it there for a while, next try just displayed the most recent update, no option to downgrade.

I can't believe what a huge bug Huawei must have up their but to not allow owners do what they want with their devices.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mantarkus:
For those still following this post and/or are still interested, I was finally able to unluck the bootloader and install a custom ROM on my Mate SE.

Without going into much detail the steps where very easy.

First I Flashed a Honor 7x service ROM which all it does is downgrade your phone to a very basic but not very functional ROM. A search on XDA for service rom should bring some results.

Having this rom installed I joined a Telegram group where I payed for the unlock code, very easy process and much worth it. Just don't go and join these groups and ask for free stuff.

With the unlocked bootloader I downloaded the BND-L34CC567B330 (8.0.0.330) rom from TeamMT (3 files) and flashed via Hurupdater (you can also flash more recent Huawei updates but to install treble ROMs you need to be on before May 2018 security patch)

From here I opted for OpenKirin LOS 16, installed Magisk as instructed and EdXposed as well.

Thanks.

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk name of your_myrootfile.img
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
let me try and break it down.

........1........... || ......2..... || ....................3...................... || .............................4.............................

fastboot || flash || recovery_ramdisk || name of your_myrootfile.img

1 = windows exe to run

2 = operation for the exe to perform

3 = partition to perform the operation on (must match correct partiton table name for your os/ device)

4 = name and file path of the image to be used in the operation (filename in this section can be anything, file must exist on your system, and the image must be correct for device)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mdude22:
so this this right or wrong?

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk name of your_myrootfile.img

am i supposed to leave the name of your_ part

its looks wrong
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
No don't leave that part in.

Here is what I do.

1. Open the file explorer to the folder that has the recovery file you want to flash.

2. Plug phone into computer

3. Open a cmd window

4. Type this without the quotes "adb reboot bootloader"

5. Once phone boots to fastboot type this withoutthe quotes "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "

6. Take notice of the single space left after the k

7. Now click and drag on the recovery image file from the folder to the cmd window.

The path and file name is filled in for you .
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mdude22:
i tried your first directions, and it worked but i ran into another problem,

i tried your first command, to send the twrp image to my phone:

sudo ./fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img

it says:

Sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (25158 KB) OKAY [ 0.661s]

Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' OKAY [ 0.472s]

Finished. Total time: 1.149s

so it worked, the next step is to install twrp

but im not sure what the command is, on the website it says:

./fastboot flash recovery2 recovery.img

but that doesnt work, i also tried

sudo ./fastboot flash recovery2_ramdisk recovery.img

sudo ./fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk2 recovery.img

but i get this error,

Sending 'recovery_ramdisk2' (25158 KB) OKAY [ 0.658s]

Writing 'recovery_ramdisk2' FAILED (remote: partition length get error)

Finished. Total time: 0.680s

what exactly is the command to install it
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mdude22:
i rebooted in recovery but i get this weird message,

my phone still works fine tho, i can go into the normal os without problems,

heres what it looks like when i go to recovery mode:

it shows this screen:

There is no recovery_ramdisk2 on Oreo.

There is no need to flash the erecovery (which is what you are trying to do).

After you flash TWRP, reboot hold the power and the up and down volume and it will boot into TWRP.

Don't just chose up volume to boot into recovery as it will always boot into erecovery and not TWRP.
