Heya! I've followed the install instructions in this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997251
I got to step 5, "enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+ ".
I wasn't quick enough on pressing the volume button so it started loading wich didnt do much good i noticed after a while. (stuck on loading)
Soo, i removed my battery to restart the phone, after wich i managed to enter recovery mode only to find myself not knowing how to execute #6, "flash rom zip".
I tried this aswell;
"1) enter recovery at first : after u switch on d phone, when the pink light comes, press up volume key to enter recovery
2) connect your phone to computer using usb cable
3) go to mounts and storage and mount /system and /data.....this will enable ADB in recovery mode
4) now put ur rom zip in the ADB folder of ur computer and start adb and type "adb devices" (without the quotes)
5) if it shows some sort of numbers, then the device is connected successfully
6) in adb. type "adb push /ROM.zip /sdcard" (without the quotes) (ROM.zip is the name of the rom)
7) then reboot recovery, go to flash zip and chose the rom zip and enjoy!"
I fail at #5, since it wont show any numbers. It wont find the device. Many hours of googling and trying different things the result is the same, and im stuck with a phone that wont boot to OS.
What do i do now? Any help appreciated! :victory:
In recovery mode,
Install zip form SD card > install zip from external SD card (if you have put the downloaded zip in your external SD card)
Oh you have to press volume up and down to highlight option, and power button to select it.
Hit Thanks if I helped you!

My options is as follows;
1. Choose zip from sdcard (i can only access the Tipo internal memory from here, not my removable SD)
2. Apply /sdcard/update.zip
3. Toggle signature verification
4. Back
I can't access my phone storage from my PC either, since the drives wont show. I've tried all drives and such that i've found, but nothing works.
Is there any way i can reverse what i have done (remove clockwork or such) to get my phone to boot again?
Or a way to access my memory, so i can add the zip to the internal storage?
Have i bricked my phone?
Thanks!
You have not bricked your phone. relax.
Well you have to select first option, then under that there should be another line saying 'select zip from external SD card ' or something like that (if I remember correctly) . If that does not work there is a workaround where you use push file via adb. I'm not too familiar with that but will pm you if I find out where I read it.
And now- to revert back,
Download the world fs ftf file found here (its rootable) -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001567
Download flashtool latest (search) and install (fastboot and flash drivers in particular)
Place downloaded ftf file in c/flashtool /firmware
press flash and follow instructions.
Your on stock fw now. Remember to place zip in internal card if you are attempting cm10 again
Hit Thanks if I helped you!
Woo, somehow i managed to install the stuff! It wont send sound to my headphones though, other then that it's all good.
Thanks for taking your time!
hello everyone, My huawei g610-u00 v100r001c00b119 keeps restarting itself, i tried factory reset and before resetting it restart itself so i failed to reset, then i downloaded the firmware put the update.app on my microSD card and open the recovery mode by pressing power key, volume up key simultaneously, but when i select update from the SD card it open the sd card directory, when i select the DLOAD folder which contain the update.app i'm unable to see the update.app, on background i see andy robot with triangle and written no command. i need help please anyone?
Hi guys,
just a question about flashing rom.. should I do a factory reset or wipe anything on the phone before to flash a rom on mate 8?
thanks
toXa
Shouldn't need to no. Just download the file and extract the UPDATE.APP file (just that file - don't make my mistake and copy over all the files 'just in case' as it doesn't work), pop it in an external sd card 'dload' folder, turn off, hold vol up & down & power, release power on logo appearance and let it do its thing
I had a crash course in this over the last two days..
Hi guys,
I tryed flash a custom Rom, but my mate enter in Huawei erecovery and after the connection with wifi I have an error and don't continue. I try return Stock Rom but i can't copy the Update.app file By pc ( i have The error that the device is probably disconnected) but i move the file from the external sd card to internal sdcard by twrp recovery '' file Explorer''. I Start the Installation of custom with press vol up+vol down+power but after 10 seconds i get an error and can only restart device. Anyone can help me please?

As long as the update.app you're trying is for offline use it should be placed in external sd:/dload/
OK now I flash a custom rom but I see a little problem. Using the file Explorer I don't see all classic folders of android (download, document, etc..) I have 12 folders strange name all numbers and letters without sense.

It's because you're encrypted.
And how can solve this problem?
Hello,
Bevore I start: Please excuse the bad english.
A while ago I rooted my Huawei Mate 8 (Android 7, Emui 5) and installed root.
After a few months I tried to factory reset the phone. But instead of factory resetting I deleted the complete system.
After this I tried to recover the system (twrp) but I didn't manage it. Then i tried to recover via Huawei and it said that I unlocked the bootloader/installed root and they can't recover.
After that I was so "smart". I uninstalled root and relocked the bootloader.
Do I have any chance to recocover the system or do I have to throw it away?
Thank you in advance:

Hi.
Just unlock the bootloader and install TWRP then diwnload full package ROM(zip file) and flash it by using TWRP.
It will install the ROM again and will fix it.

Hi there, do you know which brand is your device? Is it Chinese version, or international version? Trust me, my device was bricked multiple times, and I was always able to recover it.
Share the info I asked for and I might be able to give you some tips on how to recover it.

Hi,
I have the international version of the mate 8. (NXT-L29C432B582; FRP Lock; Bootloader relocked)
Thank you for dealing with my problem.
Got almost same problem. I've got C432B581 version.
I got nothing but TWRP now.
Can you tell me how to install clean system version step by step?
All right, both of you can use the below method, if done correctly, you should be up and running in a short time.
Read, and follow the instructions carefully. The operation consists in downgrading and rolling back your OS to Android 6. Do not worry, once rolled back to 6, your device will still get prompts to update and you can upgrade to Nougat if you want.
First thing first: open this pdf link which includes the instructions: https://bit.ly/2KYAEhS
Second: download the rolling pkg NXT-L29_from Android 7.0_EMUI 5.0_to Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C900B500: https://bit.ly/2GUtI2X
Third: Download NXT-L29C432B192 version here: https://bit.ly/2JcxJ8a
Now, I am sure you are unable to mount and access the Micro SD card by plugging the phone on your computer. So your alternative would be either to mount the SD card directly in your computer if your computer has a Micro SD slot, or use another cell phone that can be mounted, insert the micro SD card in order to transfer the first file.
Mount the Micro SD card and look in the rood of the SD card for ''dload'' folder without quotes, if you are unable to find the folder, simply create one
The 2 files are in zip format so you have to unzip them. Start with the first file, the rolling pkg. Extract ''update. app'' to your computer first and then move it under the ''dload'' folder in your Micro SD card.
Now the fun part can start and hopefully your phone will revive from the dead
With the phone powered off Press and hold simultaneously the power button, and volume up and down buttons, this will force the phone to enter in update mode. You can let go off the buttons once the update start.
These instructions and a couple of other ones are in pdf file. Read and follow carefully and you should be good to go.
Good luck!

So its the same story like I got now
Guys, once you install the rollback package, you still have to move the ''update.app'' file you extracted from the second file, put it into the ''dload'' folder and perform a force update again
I cant install rollback. Error at 24%

Hi.
for unlocking the bootloader, you must check "OEM unlocking" in developer option.
check it and try again.
