Huawei Mate SE stuck on "just a sec" after factory reset with FRP lock on

So, being the stupid person I am I broke my Mate SE one day after purchase ._. I'm posting my entire process just in case anything helps.
I started off by updating to the latest ROM and then unlocking the bootloader, which went fairly well, then flashed TWRP. A lot of versions I found didn't work(Bootloader says Func NO: 11 (recovery image) and Error NO: 2 (load failed!)), but I got a working version here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/development/oreo-twrp-complete-backup-t3764500 .
After that, I installed Magisk, which went well, then Xposed framework inside Magisk, which put my phone in a bootloop. I didn't know what to do, so I went with a factory reset[terrible idea]. Now, my phone has the FRP lock on, and the android setup is stuck on a "just a sec" page, right after selecting language and wifi, so I can't login to my google account to disable the FRP lock.
I tried flashing, but apparently the FRP lock stops me from being able to flash anything inside the bootloader. I do still have my TWRP recovery and a backup of the kernel and ramdisk(sadly nothing else useful, although I do also have dts, dfx, vendor_image, oeminfo and secure_storage) but restoring them or wiping the system again has no effect(still stuck on "just a sec").
After some google searching someone in a thread said that I should use stock recovery to wipe factory data(by restoring the stock recovery in TWRP), and I would be able to get past the "just a sec" problem, but I am reluctant because if it doesn't work, I would permanently lose my TWRP recovery with no way to flash it back(because of that FRP lock). I also tried installing update.app and other stock ROMs from various sources using TWRP, but all of them had a "check_write_data_to_partition, write data error" error. I'm not sure if it's related to FRP.
I think my next course of action is to either a) disable FRP in recovery, b) bypass the setup screen or c) install some ROM on it and somehow bypassing the check_write_data_to_partition error, but I'm not sure how to do any of these. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

There is an unlock frp patch by a dev in another that works with the 7x. It should work for you too.
I will find link when I get off the road

Thanks for the help! It worked, and the bootloader says FRP unlocked. It didn't help the "just a sec" issue, but since I can use fastboot flash, I might be able to flash a new rom in it and just ditch EMUI[probably]. I'll play around with it a bit. Again, thanks a lot for your help!

I got everything working now! Just in case anyone had the same "just a sec" issue: it was fixed by flashing stock recovery then doing a factory reset there(I'm not sure how that's different from wiping dalvik/cache/data/internal storage in twrp, but it makes a difference apparantly). Just flashing custom ROMs didn't solve the problem. After that I installed magisk, and then installed this version of xposed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76582399&postcount=11 . I installed the v90-beta3 version before which caused the bootloop, but it is fixed in the next version. Magisk has some issues so the magisk manager can't start with internet(adb logcat says there's a NullPointerException in com.topjohnwu.magisk.database.RepoDatabaseHelper.removeRepo) but frankly I don't need to open it with internet anyways. Now I have everything I need on my new phone! Thanks to mrmazak for pointing me to the right direction.

Need locked bootloader to install 5.0.6 OxygenOS (Oreo) but...

My girlfriend has a OnePlus 3T and is stuck on Oxygen OS 5.0.4, and it doesn't matter if I download the update via the update settings or install it locally or via adb, or use twrp to flash it, I tried all those ways.
Regardless, the update fails every time. I also tried deleting the ota folder, and rebooting her phone to recovery and deleting cache... that doesn't work either. I also tried using adb and typing in - adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing" - still nothing.
I also used the toolkit from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
and I tried to lock the bootloader. It took me hours to figure out how to get the bootloader unlocked again, cause I had to enter a password to get in, and at the time my girlfriend had no password on her phone at all.
After I figured out about unlocking the bootloader again, I made a password in the security setting, re locked bootloader, still nothing. The password works while phone's bootloader is unlocked, but not while it's locked.
I made a video to further explain and show the situation.

Still nothing?

I watched your video,
Before you relock the bootloader you must install the stock recovery for your device, you can't relock while TWRP is installed, use this guide, (read the guide once completely before you start).
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-3-3t-and-go-back-completely-to-stock.456232/
Also make shure you use the latest ADB drivers Inside (SDK Platform-Tools) from google:

Good Luck!

It worked like a charm. Thank you!

Bypass KG state prenormal

So i just understand that only Pie has this issue so we need to downgrade to Oreo.
Download this file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FQKt_lWUxxbaZGk37r4tkEMO0Faaci-R/view
unzip
Now put AP in AP and CSC in CSC and flash and now it works for you

I have Oreo and I am on prenormal state as well
I can't root or instal TWRP nothing pass by odin, and OEM unlock is now missing from dev menu
I have waited 190 hours of continious up time but still stuck on the same state
will this fiile remove the prenormal state even for oreo allowing me to install TWRP ?

Link fixed and you can't removed RMM state prenormal with that you need to have Exynos version and flash One Ui firmware for your device and wait 168H

After I installed Pie 9 I did not open the Developer Option. After that I opened the Download Mode and did not have RMM Prenormal. With ODIN I installed TWRP and after that I root my phone.

tell me please, for the 168H up-time, should it be with data enabled continuously all the time, or just not to reboot or shutdown the phone is enough and we can enable disable the data and airplane mode ?

So there is no revision number 5 of oreo for making the downgrade, isn't there? I am on Pie and waiting the 168 hours but I don't know if after that I would install magisk...
What about that comment of install a clean Pie system and not opening the Dev Options? I cannot try it.

After install Pie, don't open developer options, install TWRP with ODIN. SM-A530F. It work for me.

Sorry, but no working... I am at 'KG STATE: checking' and nothing more. I followed this and same result: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/how-to-bypass-rmm-prenormal-to-install-t3891193
Thanks.

So, just so that I understand this right:
1) Re-flash Pie
2) Boot into OS, do not add Google or Samsung account, and connect to WiFi
3) Set the date to 8 days back?
4) Flash TWRP and boot directly into it
5) Format Data
6) Flash DM-Verity disabler and Magisk
Done? Or is there anything else that needs to be added or removed?

Flash magisk again via TWRP

Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed Download Mode error message

So , I just tried to flash TWRP on a SM-G960F/DS via Odin v3.13.3 and I got the error from the title in the Download Mode. The phone works 100% but I really wanna get another UI . I forgot to mention I already unlocked the OEM from dev mode.
EDIT In a way or another the ODIN said PASS but after flashing the TWRP and trying to boot into recovery I was shocked to see the stock Recovery , just why?

Maybe you have Prenormal status. You'll have to wait few days without turning off your phone and then you'll be able to flash twrp.

the prenormal is likely correct, unsure if the waiting 168 hours is still a thing or not tho.
