After spending hours trying to get the eRecovery working and speaking with incompetant Huawei tech support I discovered how to get the eRecovery to finally download the stock firmware and send the phone into a factory reset:
1. Temporarily set your router's DNS address to 188.225.84.142
2. Create a wifi with no password and connect your phone to it while in the stock recovery. I recommend creating a temporary guest wifi for this.
And just like magic it connected and downloaded a 2.4 GB recovery file. Not sure why the F- Huawei would make this so non-user friendly and counter intuitive but hope this can help anyone who was just as frustrated as me.
As of now the phone has a flashing "Honor" logo on it and it's been there for over a half hour but I'll give it more time if it is indeed restoring factory firmware.
