A bit of context here - my device model is BND-L34 (Mate SE) and I had tried using a method that a user posted in a Mate SE specific thread that detailed how to manually update to Oreo.

Well, that failed miserably and I ended up with a bricked device. I had tried numerous different things to try and revive it (some that I had come up with on my own) and none of them worked. Then I thought to use Multi-Tool to unbrick it with a backup I had lying around but unfortunately it was a Nougat backup.

I had almost lost hope until stumbling upon this thread. I figured I had nothing else to lose so I decided to try to restore my phone with Multi-Tool and your backup files - all except for the system image because MEGA decided to **** block me due to it being a large file (you should definitely upload them elsewhere, by the way), so what I did was use a stock system image someone uploaded in the OpenKirin RROS thread along with the rest of your backup files.

I had also gotten a stock ramdisk_recovery.img file from somewhere else (forgot where but if anyone has trouble finding a stock recovery for Oreo I can upload mine). And VOILA (hope I spelled that right)! My device is back to life on Oreo and I couldn't be more happy.

SO all in all, even if you didn't intend for L34 users to use these files, I want to thank you!

System image I used (see post #2)

can i please get some help with unbricking my l24 variant. i have twrp installed but it says frp is locked. twrp says i have no os
If twrp works, there is a patch file that you can use to unlock frp.
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED

Would be helpful to understand what caused this problem though.

Ok. Some reason twrp does not good a good job with factory resets.

I suggest flash that frp unlock.zip

Then flash stock ramdisk.img and stock kernel.img.

That will remove magisk, for now anyway.
Then try to boot. If still not, then flash stock recovery and do factory reset. But if reset again locks frp. You will be stuck.

If you dont mind resetting from fresh system maybe just reflash with hurupdater or hwota, instead of flashing stock recovery.
