Hello guys, i need your help to unbrick my phone. First of all what i did to brick it was to unlock the boot loader, then used the Honor 6 Multi Tool to get a Cwm on it with it, it was EMUI 3.1 in the choosing. After that my phone restarted and now its hung up at Honor sign, and i can only access Fastboot mode but not recovery. I tried already playing new flashes on it with cust, boot, system and recovery and got a update on my sd card but it didnt work, it doesnt recognize my update and still only shows the honor screen, can anyone help me? Much appreciated
I have the same problem as you... but i don't know the basic informations about the phone (like model , IMEI or other stuff)... so i need help to... THANKS
To successfully unbrick it, follow these exact steps and you'll be good to go.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
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.

While flashing the above commands, the phone needs to be in fastboot mode right? How to get it in the fastboot mode?

Try to get the unlock code coz the message
Remote command not allowed
Is because of bootloader still being locked. There is a way if you can start a chat with honor representative and ask him to give you the code.
There is a unlock code calculator, use it.

It's trying to install from Huawei hi suite on PC. Take the USB off and try again.
I tried restore backup, and it restores until it tries restore system, then comes error 255. I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 for emui 4.0. I have tried flash another twrp version but same error always. Can someone help me?
Phone: Honor 6 (H60-L04) European, unlocked bootloader
P.S Sorry for bad english. :/
i've had same problem , afterall i tried eveything and didn't work out so i jsut completely factory unbricked the phone , flash complet firmware via 3-key combo.
it will wipe internal momery during the process.
It looks like that your backup got corrupted, you should restore system to a full stock firmware, follow these steps to do so.
Download your latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.

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.
This will get you to Stock firmware.
I suggest once you get back to stock, root your device, install TWRP and take a Nandroid backup again, but this time once the backup is completed, compress the whole backup folder in tar and store it somewhere safe. This will prevent future corruption of the backup.
Hope this helps...

Just curiosity, if I have re-partition my phone (eg. modify /system from 1.5g to 1g), by restoring imgs from HUAWEI stock rom, can the partition be restored to original size as well?

The stock Update.APP repartitions the device to the default structure so the the partition size will be restored to the original one.

I have not tried that yet, maybe the UPDATE.APP will resize your partitioning scheme or maybe not.

Aha, that would be very nice. I'm now using Cm12.1 on my 4X and considering roll back to stock ROM. If stock ROM can do the job, that would be less work for me to do.

It works as I've already tested it. The stock system image on my device has a size of 2.5 GB. After flashing developer version, there was 1 GB free so I shrunk the system partition to 1.5 GB. When I restored back to the official stock releases, the system partition was restored back to 2.5 GB.

By the way, is there any general guide for re-partition my phone? I want to do a re-partition on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G phone. I was thinking of using REPIT from Lanchon, but the repit file is not available yet...

Hi Digigoon, many thanks for your instructions!
I followed them and I've been also been able to go back to Stock ROM using the last FRD-L09C432B131 ROM Update.
But now I lost my unlocked bootloader, my previously installed TWRP Recovery and my SUPERSU Root.
The problem is that I can't unlock it anymore when trying to start again the whole Unlock Bootloader+TWRP+ROOT process.
I always get the same error "FAILED (remote: password wrong)" after executing "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXX" (Where XXXXXXXX is my unlock code)
I always get this same error using my previously working unlock Code I got via the "DC Unlocker" procedure that worked for me one month ago the first time I unlocked my device and also when using a new Unlock code I just got following the Huawei Official EMUI Website Unlock Bootloader process.
I wanted to use again the stock ROM and install the official updates but the idea was to continue being Unlocked and with TWRP+ROOT.
Can anybody help me? Does anybody know why I can't unlock again and what could I try to re-unlock my Honor 8 FRD-L09?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I found it myself. Now it works. Incredible! The "official Huawei Unlock bootloader" method fails to me giving me a non-working Unlock code. The "DC Unlocker" method works perfectly and it failed to me because for some unknown reason there was a FXXXXXX typo in the pasted coded I had saved. A FXXXXXX typo when I copied/Pasted it! I had to pay again 4€ *to get a fully working code equal to the one I already had but without the typo!. Well I am done for now.
Honor 8 lite. same problem... Mistakenly Installed update of Honor 6X.
Bro i have Mistakenly Flash Honor 6x file Through TWRP. now after 3 4 different updates attempts, just cannot cross 5% in dload method.
My model was PRA-LA1C185B165
and have tried PRA-LA1C185B180 and PRA-LA1C185B166
but only TWRP is working on mobile and flash/wipe is also not working...
kindly help any one plz plz

Hi. I was trying to install cm13 on my honor 8. I unlocked the bootloader, but while trying to install twrp recovery I think I deleted everything off the phone. The huawei erecovery doesn't work, and I tried sooooo many fastboot commands. I can't do adb commands. I can only get into fastboot mode. Is there anyway for me to get out of this? I tried flashing the system.img and boot.img from fastboot but it fails.

Yes. I installed a roll back update (something like that) by getting into the force update mode. After it finished, I had to then apply the full stock firmware. The problem was that I somehow put the firmware of another phone, because my model number was from a different Huawei phone.

Hi. I got tired of CM13, so I tried to go back to stock. I checked a guide online which told me to flash 2 files using TWRP. after that, I lost twrp and now my bootloader is locked. What do I do? I manually did an update with the update.app file, and it says update success, but when it reboots it stays on the honor 8 screen, I waited for 25 minutes and it's still there.

Try going into stock recovery and doing a factory reset after you use the update.app. You'll have to unlock the bootloader again and flash twrp if you want root.
Restoring to MM using a full image will typically lock the bootloader.
It happened to me too, it is possible you still didn't use the right image.
This is how I recovered mine:
1. Go here to download the latest firmware for your model: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=129406
2. Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract files from the "Update.app". (Ignore the 'profile' drop down list in the app.)
3. Unlock your phone's bootloader.
4. Flash these four images (extracted using the tool from step 2):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
5. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. This is needed to reformat the internal storage (and make it encrypted I think). (Power+Vol Up)
6. Put the Update.app file inside the "dload" folder in your SDcard.
7. Boot into flash mode to let the phone flash the Update.app (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down).

2 things, 1 is that there are 2 recovery files in the UPDATE.APP, and 2 is that I can't do a factory reset from the recovery, because it brings me to the erecovery and it doesn't give me the option to factory reset.

You need to hold VOLUME UP and POWER button with the phone off to get into the recovery to do a factory reset. Once the honor logo pops up, you can release the power and volume up buttons.
Recovery.img = Stock recovery

I just did everything exactly the way you said. But it still stays at the honor boot logo. I don't mind waiting over night for it to boot up if I have to, but I've never had a phone take this long to boot up, even on first boot.
For a "brick" thread, it seems odd that the model is never mentioned so that someone can really point you to the right spot. If you keep going to erecovery, then it has to do with whether or not your cable is plugged in (likely you've been keeping it plugged in for your fastboot attempts, or that's a guess). I only go to erecovery with both up/down & power if the cable is plugged in. If I want to get to stock recovery (regardless of what the hell is in the "recovery" partition, TWRP, or who knows?) then I unplug it before trying any key combo from power off to get there.
Lastly, if you use this sort of thing as a template (I'm just going to use one for the frd-l09 as an example, but stick the right model in there for you) ::
Example to plug into Google to find your rollback with instructions:: site:consumer.huawei.com honor 8 frd-l09 rollback
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if you've got an frd-l04 then plug that in where frd-l09 is. It'll just look on the site consumer.huawei.com just above where the various country/variant breakdowns are, like US/ZH/HU/Etc. are.
Pick the one out that is closest to what it seems you want. All the pages are in the local languages so I'm guessing the .pdf that explains what to do is in the language you'll want as well.
Good luck:: Let us know what model phone you have.
More: Contents of first "intermediate" update.app is 8 image files. I'm sure the 2nd one that is specifically your own phone's version of b162 has a lot more files in it. I've not looked for awhile but I think it's 21 or 22 files. This is a two step process, first is all the crap that comes in update.app from the rollback page (just a 100K file which sets you up in intermediate state for rollback) and 2nd you find your exactly right b162 for your model phone, and pretty much repeat the process.
Yet More: One odd thing about the Honor 8: I've not seen it on other phones is the partition layout is not really "trustworthy" unless you really have gotten to understand it. There appears to be at least 3 or 4 places you can get to that I used to think would all have to be in the recovery partition, but apparently the Honor 8 works differently, so no matter how bleak your odds seem, .. maybe not. I got to both erecovery and stock recovery and rollback while TWRP was installed and it worked just following the directions from their website.
Agreed on this thing.

Thank you very much, you saved me and my phone !!!
I made a mistake: my phone was under android m and I flashed by mistake the rollback update (to go m from n), then my honor was bricked on bootloop, no recovery, no update by dload....nothing worked....
Your solution was the right one !! again thank you very much
Interesting observation with the eRecovery (recovery2 partition). So I have TWRP installed, the system partition modified and user storage not encrypted. I was still able to to use eRecovery to connect to WiFi and download the factory image and it automatically repaired the phone to factory state. I noticed it doesn't re-lock the bootloader afterward. This seems to be the easiest method to unbrick.
Getting into eRecovery.
hi! Or extract the files? sorry for my english

When I try to flash cust.img and system.img they both fail.
I cannot check what firmware I was on before I started all this, but I believe it was the latest one. This is a FRD-04. I flashed TWRP 3.1.0.1 erecovery and I can access it and fastboot.
I have tried various different things and nothing I do can unbrick the phone. Any help would be appreciated.

have the same problem as you on my FRD-09.
I don't have this phone anymore, but the easiest way I find to restore it is using eRecovery.
hi i just got a honor 6x and i have been following guides and at one point i had lineage os 13 on the phone but it would only boot to the password screen
so then i side loaded resurrection os 5.7 and it didnt have wifi so i tried upgrading emui and now i can't install any rom it just hangs at "patching ssytem unconditonally"
i have TWRP running on the phone. i just want to go back to stock OS. please help how do i do this?
unknown command [errno] update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip from zip failed

You can download the full firmware directly from honor, unzip it, and place the update.app file in a dload folder that you create on your sd card. Power of the phone then hold volume up, down, and power at the same time to initiate an automatic flash of the room you downloaded. This will erase everything, so be aware.
1.Download full rom from huawei support site then extract update.app
2.place it in dload folder using twrp (in twrp enable MTP)
3.Now extract the recovery.img from update.app using huawei extractor and flash it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.now power off phone then start phone holding Volume Up ,Volume Down & power button simultaneously
5.it will start updating

BLN-L24C567? If yes flash via twrp this two zips, after make reboot recovery in twrp. Should by now in stock recovery and here tap factory reset and after reboot. Now you will be hopefully in emui. Follow only if is correct your fw number which is mentioned here

I had the same problem once.
You can try to flash the cust partition of your phone. The "device verification failed"-message should disappear then. It's not enough to only flash boot, system and recovery. If there is a problem with the cust partition of your phone you can also have problems with flashing stock roms via "dload"-method.
1. Download the right stock firmware via the huawei firmware finder. You usually have two .zip files (e.g. update.zip & update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip). The image file for the cust partition can be found in the update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip (choose the right one for your model).
2. Unpack update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip and extract the cust partition with the huawei firmware extractor.
3. Put your phone into fastboot mode
4. Use the following command: fastboot flash cust cust.img
5. Try to boot into your stock rom.
