[SOLVED] P8max softbricked, need system.img - Huawei P8max

Hi guys,
I accidentally wiped /system from my phone, and now I can't get it back.
I've tried downloading the OS zip from the Huawei site and running it from an SD card like it says, but it just fails.
I've also tried extracting system.img from the file with a tool I found here, but it won't flash with fastboot, it just fails saying it can't load the file. It seems like maybe it's encrypted in some way.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Can anyone upload a system.img file I can flash to my device?
Thanks

I did exactly like what you did and I finally found this way to solve the problem, it is simple but need you to foucs :
First of all you should have custom recovery (TWRP) , and of course to have this you should unlock you bootloader.
after you have custom recovery , go to this thread (it is custom rom for P8) , and download the rom , then move it to SD card and put it in P8max.
here is the Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...e-1-0-t3175436
Now try to flash this custom rom via recovery "do full wipe" , and wait until your device work.
Now you are using custom rom for P8 and custom recovery, of course there is many bugs and a lot of restarting but don't worry , keep going :
now download this official rom for P8max :
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=51144&version=120555&siteCode=cn
after you download this file, move "dload" folder to root of your SD card , then insert it in your P8max.
now you can't update this while you have custom recovery , so we slould go back to stock recovery fo P8max , download this stock recovery and flash it via Fastboot .
here is Stock recovery :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/smv6aoi7p4iivfq/Recovery.img?dl=0
last step , you need to flash stock rom with one of these methods, see what work with you :
Method 1 :
1-cell phone turned off.
2-insert the SD card.
3-while pressing the volume up button + volume down key switch button, the phone automatically enters the upgrade mode, and then begin the upgrade.
Method 2 :
1-put SD card into the phone.
2-press the Menu key, the system updates -> SD card upgrade -> confirm -> upgrade, backup data, select the backup data; upgrade.
Or
open Updater app, then menu then local update.
PS :
if nothing work with you you shold move "dload" folder to root of you phone memory "not SD card" , and because your phone will keep restarting try to connect it to your PC throw USB to stop restarting , and paste "dload" folder to root of your phone memory like what I said before.
then try one of the two methods above.
now wait until you P8max run with official rom and stock recovery.
hope this help, feel free to ask.

Thank you so much! It worked! It's booted up fine after installing the update from the SD card.
I'm just doing the OTA updates now.

how could the p8 rom work with our p8 max?
so this mean that i can flash this rom ?

Flash official recovery. Download official b021 ROM. Create "dload" folder in your SD card. Extract b021 and put into dload folder. Press volume up+ down button. System will auto install and reboot.
Good luck

because there is an update , you should redownload the official rom "V100R001C233B023" , they update it already .
so simply , these are steps :
1- download the official rom from here :
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=53426&version=166267&siteCode=cn
2- download stock recovery from here :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/smv6aoi7p4iivfq/Recovery.img?dl=0
3- unzip official rom and put "dload" folder in root of Sd card then put it in P8max.
4- keep pressing the volume up button + volume down key switch button, the phone automatically enters the upgrade mode, and then begin the upgrade.
now you should boot with official rom.

Download the stock rom for your phone model (tl-10) official one, NOT beta version, better directly from Huawei web site.
Extract stock recovery from downloaded file (by using huawei extractor app).
Using ADB commands, flash stock recovery. Then copy stock rom to sdcard and proceede with 3button procedure.
If any of these operations sound new to you, please use "search" button in these forums.

I have downloaded from Huawei web site 120sp04 firmware. I extracted recovery, flashed with adb commands. Copied the stock rom to sd card, and i am not able to force my phone to start update. keeps restarting. is the a special trick for this 3 button procedure? phone should be off, but from bootloader i cannot switch of the phone. Is it possible that the phone doesn't recognize my SD Card? please advise.
Please check, there' s a command trough ADB (I think adb reboot) wich reboot phone.
Then, someone, has been forced to keep the SD card NOT inserted into the phone, waited for reboot and then (after huawei logo I think, but I'm not sure; please check) inserted the SD card.
Then proceede with local update (forced method).
As for the 3button method, simply press and keep pressed volume up+volume down + power on button. All togheter.
Then the phone must boot automatically into recovery and start the procedure itself.
It i clear: stock recovery MUST be already installed !!!

The only thing what i can do is, to flash recovery and boot from fastboot.zip( http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/5-1-to-4-4-2-bootloop-t3132888 ) i guess for L09 version, where i can get to update mode with 3 buttons...all other possibilities are not possible. even if i extract from original firmware recovery and boot images, nothing work..i was going from B125 back to B123 to B128 and B313 when in TWRP i deleted everything. Phone is charging, i can turn it off..OS is missing..is it possible that somebody would make a back up in twrp and i would flash it on my phone? or what version of firmware i should start with? what about sideload? does it help? please advise.

can you use the same rollback for B807?and/or is it possible to downgrade to any lollipop build with TWRP or CWM backups?
I have kinda simillar problem like shiko's
my phone was on B803,
i installed B804 OTA twice but it didn't work (it still showed B803)
so i extracted B550 UPDATE.APP to downgrade and flashed it via fastboot
and my phone has restart loop, i installed twrp and took backup
now i'm here since 17 hours of doing all that could help...
i tried all mentioned up methods but in panamera's solution download mode stuck on 5% or fails in 36%, and in linked method the same.
after doing restore via twrp it seems like working showing normal boot logo and animation from Lollipop, but it hang on boot animation.
sorry for my bad english
please help mates i'm really confused
EDIT. unbricked! Protip: charge your battery to at least 50% haha

Hi, i need some help
At this time I have the honor totally clean, without any android system. I'm trying to install a rom and when I get to step 3 of the buttons does not work. It is the original logo of honor and not out there.
tks
Try this.
DigiGoon said:
Follow the below steps, and you'll get back to stock:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.

What do you mean by does not work?
You can not start a forced update or forced update fails?
Is your bootloader unlocked or locked?
What were you using before the problem?
Firmware or custom rom?
Which firmware or if a custom ROM then what was the Android version?
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA Labs
I solved the problem in another way
After trying a thousand and one thing, the resolution to my problem was simpler than I thought.
I decided as follows:
- Having no memory card, I bought one and put in tlm
- I drew a full back to my rom, in this case a custom 6.9.1
- I put this full rom (zip file) on the memory card
- Through the TWRP did factory reset through the bootloader option
- Again by TWRP I chose installed the full rom had put the memory card
- He installed, I restart and voilá
Note that after doing this, it took a long time to set everything up. In the second logo of honor it took about 15 or 20 minutes.
It's probably due to hardware, if 3btns method don't work you can't install a fw

- Through the TWRP did factory reset through the bootloader option
- Again by TWRP I chose installed the full rom had put the memory card
- He installed, I restart and voilá
Note that after doing this, it took a long time to set everything up. In the second logo of honor it took about 15 or 20 minutes.

Try these steps:
1. Flash TWRP in fastboot. Make sure to use the TWRP from here.
2. Install CM13 via TWRP. Installing CM13 allows you to wipe Data partition later.
3. Reboot into TWRP and wipe Data partition.
4. Create a folder with a name dload in root of SDcard.
5. Download Full Firmware of Marshmallow. Copy the update.app from the zip file into the dload folder.
6. Turn off the phone. Then hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power Button. Let go of the buttons once you see the Honor logo. This will flash the Marshmallow Firmware.
7. That's it!

HOW-TO: Going back to Stock ROM/Recovery on Zenfone 3 ZE552KL/ZE520KL

Found this how-to guide and thought it might be nice to have it on site here in XDA. This is to go back to Stock ROM and Recovery. I know a lot of the roms right now are pretty experimental so here's a guide to go back to stock if you need a more solid daily driver for now. Anyway, onto the guide, but first, the sources:

Did you make sure the boot.img was not corrupt. Maybe try downloading and flashing it again? Sounds odd.

maybe a mismatched recovery/kernel version.
Which version of android are you running? Easiest way to test is just to flash a newer stock Rom. Since you have TWRP, do a full nandroid back up and then flash the latest nougat Rom and it should overwrite recovery. If recovery now works, extract the recovery partition, flash TWRP, restore your data backup and then restore your recovery backup.
got it done now just had to get the right rom for the phone and flashed it over on twrp but know it said it was rooted and then kinda just took itself off of it when doing root check its taking around 30secs to tell me unrooted when before it would tell me if it wqs or wasent in a few seconds
I have done every thing correctly, in original recovery when i press "install update from sdcard" i get "Couldent mount /sdcard" and thats it. iam stuck.
(BTW there is no sd card installed, only internal memory)
how can i resolve this?

I used an external sdcard and all is working, thanks ?
Bootloader open.
ZE552KL bootloader relock isn't working.
Hi,
I would like to revert to stock but i cannot find the original recovery for my ZE520KL (ASUS_Z017D) because on your mega link there is only the original recovery for the Z012D_WW_14.2020.1708.56
Could you add "Z017D_WW_14.2020.1708.56" or indicate which one to use please ?

I want to downgrade from latest stock to a previous version. Do I really need to install the recovery from the previous version?

I've installed TWRP & donwgraded to Android 6.
Now I want to upgrade to 7.0 because it supports VOLTE... do I really need to rollback twrp to the original recovery?

Stock recovery not working.
I have changed the ROM to my Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL many times. Tried again this morning,and last night.Failed.
Long story,please be patience with me.
- I managed to get the latest ROM from: https://www.asus.com/ro/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (actually i got it from the english version) and installed the latest using the stock recovery.
- Previously i had root on my phone by flashing with TWRP, SuperSu. With the latest firmware from the official Asus site, SuperSu is not working anymore. I tried different versions of Supersu (flash versions and app versions) nothing worked. I was unable to get root back on my phone. For me root is very important.
- If i try to install stock rom's using TWRP 3.02. i can't. TWRP 3.0.2 does not recognize my sd-card, i can only copy rom's into internal storage. NO stock rom (even the old ones from 2016) will install on twrp 3.02.
If i install TWRP 3.1.0 or TWRP 3.1.1 i can access sd-card and install all the rom's. Installing is successful but it will boot about 5 times until i get message "your device has failed verification and may not work properly . The device will shutdown in 10 seconds"
- The solution that i found 1 month ago, is to flash stock recovery, and install using stock recovery a stock rom from asus website. I tried to do this last night & this morning. Failed to do so. Reason: no stock recovery works anymore. You can find stock recoveries here : https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-88883-1-1.html I also tried to ask for help on that forum, but it won't let me post in that thread.
- I had an old stock recovery, but i lost it. I need a stock recovery that will work. After i flash the stock recovery it gets stuck at "powered by Android" it does not continue from there.
- I can flash back custom TWRP recovery, but even if i install official stock rom it wont boot. I need a working stock recovery, or any solution.
I am stuck . Please help me!
