Hmm. so you probably need to flash a recovery first.
then you will be able to use the recovery to mount usb and put a new rom on your "sd card"
Then you can flash the rom on your new recovery and don't forget to fastboot flash the boot.img.
edit: the all in one toolkit is great for things like this. It will put a new recovery on your phone with just a click of the button.

I just edited my original post. just in case you didn't know how. I guess I was a little slow.
Also I can't remember if a bootloader factory reset relocked your phone but you might want to check that too. up on top it would say locked or relocked. If it still says unlocked you don't have to do that step again. Like you did when you first rooted the phone.
(all in one tool kit is great for unlocking and relocking too) just put a copy of that bin file in all in one tool kit (data file i believe, but it says what to do in that thread)

Your phone is an s3?
My phone is an S4 as are I would guess the majority of users. I think the s3 is the international version. If you are on T mobile then it's a s4.
Ok,,,
so .... if your phone is an s3 version then you will have to check that the Rom you download is specific for your phone as most of the Roms on this site are for the s4 version.
you need to go to your recovery. press the volume down button and hold it. Then press the power button (don't hold it). That will get you to recovery.
when in twrp recovery you will see a mounts button. hit that then the next screen will have mount usb. then you will be able to move a rom you downloaded on your computer to your phone.
then you can install the rom zip in twrp.
then from your computer, I assume you know how to flash a boot.img
put a boot.img in your fastboot folder, open up a comand prompt.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if you wanted a different recovery than you are using, find the download the recovery. *I would rename the recovery to recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(I only mention a different recovery because in some of the Rom threads you might read that you can only install a particular rom with an older version of twrp.)
I'm not sure of your skill or experience with all of this. If you are very new to it (then you are probably really frustrated) have no fear there is a little bit to learn but not that much. Just keep reading the development thread and the guides in it.

do you have your box the phone came in?
Z520e is S4
Z560e is S3
So were you able to put twrp on your phone? when you are in boot loader and click on the recovery does it take you to twrp? Yes the all in one toolkit will flash a recovery for you. but you have your boot loader unlocked first.

thanks for all the help starting to feel i might win lol
in twrp when you press "mounts" then press "mount usb", does your computer finally see your phone?
I was looking at your first post, you say that you rooted and flashed your phone. What do you mean by that? Did you download a ROM and attempt to flash it? Or did you "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?
If you are able to access your phone via computer it is as simple as downloading a rom on your computer moving it to your phone then in twrp "install from zip". Then fastboot flash the boot.img.

how to flash fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
if you are just fed up and want your phone back to stock then you will need to run an RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
To run a RUU you would need to relock your bootloader.
in console type "fastboot lock oem" or use your all in one toolkit to relock it.
if that fails you will need to put your stock recovery back. (you need to have boot loader unlocked to do this)
on the clockworkmod recovery page the stock recovery is the second download link.

Links are a little bit older but good. Look at forum General and Development category for more stuff.. You must first do a unlock bootloader, then flash custom recovery (newest unofficial TWRP is best), then you can install new ROM which doesn't need S-OFF/superCID after that flash new kernel for it ROM via fastboot. You must looking some thread's on forum, explore the possibilities, find out what and how you can use... I can't say you everything in one word - I don't have such power

I tried all this, but once I get in the bootloader and try to get my "Token ID" or whatever to root it, it just says device not found and that its waiting for device.
Its in USB Debugging mode, and the drivers are fine, its latest drivers and the command to goto bootloader works fine.
Not sure what to do.
I appreciate you taking the time to link me all this though
Just not sure how to do it, I'm probably doing something wrong.
But I got as far as getting to the bootloader.

Issue is, when I go to recovery, it doesn't actually open ClockWorkMod which is the one I installed. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (6.0.4.8).
It said everything went fine in command prompt, but just boots the device instead of recovery.

I have OPO 64GB and unlocked via fastboot. Every fastboot command related to flash or erase or format gave same error, unable to erase or write the partition.
I was able to fastboot boot <custom_recovery.img> into TWRP 2.7 I believe but TWRP gives errors, unable to mount <partition>, etc. Any command in TWRP results into a failure to mount or write.
I tried ADB Sideload <zip> and at 12% it rebooted back into Cyanogen Mod ready logo.
TWRP only runs if I boot to it via fastboot, it can't write to the bootloader via fastboot. One strange thing under TWRP storage it shows Internal Storage 0MB and USB-OTG 0MB, the partitions also show 0MB excep for system, but can't format anything or resize.
I feels like there is no storage in this device, is this something that can be fixed or is this a DOA device? It was working fine and a Cyanogen update ran and bricked it!
When I try to fastboot flash I get this error, fail to write. I even tried the OnePlusRestoreTool and it fails to write to the phone.

It seems that your partitions are corrupt.
I had the same issue and solved it by restoreing completley to stock Rom. There must be a thread for this anywhere out, if not download a fastboot image from cyanogen support site extract it and try to flash it.
That is what I was leaning towards, but in every solution to restore the stock ROM I have to use fastboot and fastboot just fails to write anything. I can't even get TWRP to stick, fails to write every time. I tried the OnePlusRestoreTool but the driver installs ok but the tool can't find the phone, tried 2 different PCs. I was hoping for another solution other than fastboot or the OnePlusRestoreTool, I searched but could not find another method, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hello, so I managed to get an older PC to do all this in as well and tried another PC anyway. I ran the color.zip install, drivers installed OK and phone is detected, I ran the Msm8974DownloadTool.exe and it found the phone in COM3, I see a progress bar in one file, the image file and then it reboots the phone but it comes back to the Cyanogen splash screen and it does not go anywhere, so I reboot it again manually power+VUp and the tool finds it again and tries to send the *same* file again, and then I tried this loop at least 10 times.
I conclude that it is unable to write the image to the cell, same symptom I encountered with Fastboot flash boot img. Does this mean that the cell is bricked since nothing can write to the SD?
Do the progressbars you see in Msm8974DownloadTool.exe become green?
Maybe see there:
http://www.technobuzz.net/guide-to-recover-from-hard-bricked-oneplus-one/
It is nearly the same like the one posted before, but has some screenshots.
After doing this color OS should boot up, not cyanogen os.
If only one image file is "flashed", check if your color.zip is downloaded correctly
Hope this helps

Hello, not really, it does one file and then I see progress bar move on the first file, progress bar finished and then the phone boots to the cyanogen screen again, then i tried again, it still shows the same file again. It does not save the file, fails to write pretty much, same thing as fastboot.
There should be serveral progressbars. One for each image in color.zip. Try to reinstall the qualcomm 2012 drivers.
Have you restarted your PC?

I actually did that and tried one plus one as well, I also tried the other unbrick toll as well with other drivers. The phone is recognized no problem, but nothing can write to it, just like fastbook flash , write denied every time.
Restarted your PC after qualcomm driver install?
Maybe there be driver problems related to win10.
Also check
fastboot oem device-info if your bootloader is really unlocked

It won't work, his device is not recognized by adb or fastboot.
My device is in the same state, I rebooted it and it hard bricked, I tried using the ColorOS flash tool but, when I start it, it is stuck in a loop trying to flash "8974_msimage.mbn", any solution would be appreciated, because I hard bricked it in the first day after receiving my OPO (I bought an used one).
I already tried on two different computers, the same issue happens, I also tried to find a fix, but everyone that had this issue never replied, so I think this state is really THE hard brick, with no ways to go back to the original state.

The problem is that the device gets disconnected when flashing for some reason. I tried two different drivers, both didn't work.
I'm willing to pay 5$ to someone who can fix this issue for me.

Which Windows Version do you use? I would try with win7. With win 8.1 and 10 you have to disable driver verification.
Have you disabled your antivirus?
Have you disabled UAC?
Maybe another USB cable?

Windows 7, but Windows 7 also needs to disable driver verification.
I don't use any antivirus.
No, but I ran the tool as administrator.
I already tried that, I tried with the original cable that came with the device and my Moto G 2014 cable, same issue on both.
It isn't a missing driver issue tho, Qualcomm drivers are installed and working because the ColorOS flash tool detects the device.
Anyway, thanks for helping

Back Story
Hi All,
Like a massive child I stupidly jumped on the Pie bandwagon away from a very well maintained Honor 10 ROM which ran beautifully on my P20 Pro..
After restoring EMUI, the PIE update quickly made itself visible, so i took a deep breath and committed.
After the installation, I tried to install a bunch of ROM's, I messed up a bit.
Anyway, what I found was, I was unable to recovery from eRecovery OR HiSuite, so I then found myself on the wobbly road that is restoring each parition via the bootloader using fastboot, tried to install just the recovery_ramdisk, didn't work, tried to install, kernel / cust / system / recovery_ramdisk..... STILL Didn't work.
So i downloaded another firmware, this time the exact version i was using albeit for the L-09 and not the L-29, I needed to extract the update part of the zip then read it using a tool called firmware extractor.
Ton of files in there, the files i just mentioned which are all .img files and some others.
In the end i needed several to get a perfect restore which has worked every single time without fail.
As it was a massive ballache and a learning curve for me as I'd never done it before, so I thought i'd share my experience and the files required on Mega so there aren't any ads blocking your way Yaay, also what to do and where to obtain the firmwares from my experiences.
Hope it helps someone avoid the pain I had to go through when downloading firmwares for 5 hours at a time, wasn't fun.
Good luck, any questions let me know. :good:
START HERE
*NOTE: You can do this from scratch by downloading the firmware for your device, i required 9.0.0.190 for the L29 - c432.
The best place I found was this site https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&c=download&id=105974
They require an account to be made but besides that they were faster and had more choice.
Once you have the firmware you'll need the Extractor, then you'll need to move several of the files into the ADB folder for flashing, see below...
Anyway, moving on........
FILES
At the foot of this guide is a link, inside it is everything you should require in order to complete this guide
ADB - Move this folder to the root of C, it should be like this C:\ADB (reason for this is it's much easier to navigate to, most people will already have this)
IMG Files for 9.0.0.190 - All of the file names you see below are img files which we'll be using to un-brick / recover / restore your device to a functional state.
Move all of them after downloading to the ADB folder in C:\ADB
CACHE.img
CUST.img
ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img
KERNEL.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
USERDATA.img
VENDOR.img
SYSTEM.img
EMUI Extractor - Not a part of this guide but you will need it should you need to download your own firmware and obtain the above files.
Pre-requisites
- A device on a maximum firmware of 9.0.0.190 (If you are on a higher firmware, then use the link above to obtain it)
- A device variant of either L-09 or L-29 (others may work but i have not tested)
- A device variant of c432 (the 782 may work but i have not tested)
- Access to the bootloader (white screen with vol down and power whilst connected to a laptop)
- Drivers so that fastboot / adb commands can be sent to your device (I won't show how to do this, it's pretty standard stuff)
- I have an unlocked bootloader myself and OEM unlocking is on (REQUIRED)
- A Windows based PC /Laptop and a functional USB-C cable. (I'm sure you can
GUIDE
On your computer / laptop
STEP 1 Download all the files from the mega link provided.
STEP 2 Copy the ADB Folder to the root of C: so it looks like this
C:\ADB
STEP 3 Open the folder called "IMG Files for 9.0.0.190" Copy the .IMG files to the ADB folder so they are loose.
STEP 4 Press Start / Windows key and type in cmd then press enter, a black window will appear
STEP 5 In the black window type the following:
cd c:\adb then press Enter
STEP 6 Connect your phone to your laptop using the USB-C cable and allow it to be seen by windows
On your Phone
STEP 7 Press and hold the power button and volume down, don't let go, your screen will go blank, once it turns back on, release the power key but continue holding vol down, a white screen should appear, you can now release the power volume key, you are now in fastboot mode and can input commands.
On your computer / laptop
Step 8 Click the CMD window and type in the following commands, you will have to wait for them to go all the way through, some take longer ie: System.img
*NOTE: For speed you can use the tab key to pre fill certain words or files, so if you've typed in "Fastboot flash cust "
You could then press the tab key and scroll through the files in the folder.
eg: if you were to press enter with this command listed fastboot flash cust c after pressing tab it would say fastboot flash cust CUST.img
PRESS ENTER AFTER EACH COMMAND, MAKE SURE EACH ONE COMPLETES.
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
fastboot flash kernel KERNEL.img
fastboot flash vendor VENDOR.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
STEP 9 Once they've all been flashed, in CMD simply type the below command and allow the device to boot up, you can disconnect now.
fastboot reboot
If all has worked and it should have, then you will have a stock ROM of PIE on 9.0.0.190
You can then root and use your device as you see fit.
Here is the link to the said files (WHICH WILL NOT BE TAKEN DOWN )
NOTE: they actually now have, sorry

As I said in the guide you need OEM to be unlocked. I have no idea how you can unlock it without accessing the system. I think one version of pie locked it down but then the next one unlocked it.
Did you turn off OEM unlocking yourself?
What version are you on?
Maybe a paid service can help mate. Not sure.

OEM unlocking needs to be off mate, 108 shouldn't matter but i believe that it's the version that has the OEM greyed out.
There is a way around it but i'm not sure.
any way?

Certainly not with this method as you don't meet the pre-requisites.
That being said I suppose some kind of low level flash tool may work, like i said before a paid for service maybe?
Lets find out everything there is to know.
So your bootloader is unlocked.
Have do you have TWRP installed?
Did any of the images i've listed actually flash successfully?
Have you tried to use eRecovery? or Hi Suite (neither of these worked for me hence this guide)
Beyond that i suppose the only way would be a paid service but their pre-requisites may be the same as mine. In that case I would say you're out of luck, afaik this guide is essentially the lowest you can go. I don't believe anything will work without OEM unlocking turned on.
How do you get onto the firmware you're currently on ? 108 and what state is the phone in right now?
What works? Whats accessible?
@dladz thanks for the guide. You got me out of a jam already and this useful information to restore to stock.

Used your guide @dladz, everything flashed perfectly but on the fastboot reboot command, the PC made a noise to say the USB had disconnected as expected.
All I've got is a black screen and red flashing LED.

Weird. Not sure pal. This is what I did when I was stuck. Did you read everything and follow to the letter? A higher or same firmware?
On fastboot reboot the pc saying it's disconnected is correct. Should have come on.
Does anything ever come on screen?

As i'm still on 190 I wouldn't know this, but would it be possible that userdata isn't actually a part of the update app no more?
Seeing as it still works I would assume that is the case.
There’s a user data.app packaged with update.app, just noticed it.
In update.app I’ve got file names 11.cache.img 09.cust.img
Did you have to rename yours?

No because you're going to be picking them via fastboot anyway, I don't believe the name matters.
The ones in the update I used were not named like that IIRC.
After updating TWRP using TWRP it self i can't boot into custom recovery again the phone just stays loading forever, the phone is also wiped so no custom image or stock image and i cant use it since even in fastboot it just keeps saying "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)".
The phone on FASTBOOT mode says:
Phone unlocked
but says FRP lock
maybe that is the problem? if so how can i solve it? i really want to make my honor 8 work again so thanks for your help!

I was using Paranoid android 7.1 i believe but i wiped the phone so there is no Android at all at the moment, i tried updating to the latest twrp since i was getting error 7 trying to flash the stock room, stock recovery just says "failed to get information from the server" every time and for last i did flash it in the right partition, every comand i execute in fastboot it gives me that error and it's also important to mention that i can't find my phone in "adb devices" only in "fastboot devices". I saw some people using the Dload get the stock system back maybe thats an option? i dont know i feel completely lost.
Thanks for the reply

Are you able to boot inside TWRP at this moment? And also what is this "latest twrp" that you said that your were flashing. I believe if the TWRP stays loading forever, it means that it does not work for the device.

In the old nougat days, Ive had the same problem. As I always say, dont use twrp on honor 8. They all suck! Anyways, did you tried eRecovery?
Or you should be able to dload a proper firmware in all cases. You just need to find the right package. It fixed me the same problem in the past.

I realised you said that you updated your TWRP and you cant get in. Did you tried different buttons? I remember some of twrps had volume up + power button and some had volume down and power button and some had vol up and down and power button. Try everything. The frp lock is probably because it somehow disabled oem unlocking by itself. I am gonna try to find a link for latest nougat for you. Good luck man!
EDIT: You should try to relock yor bootloader and unlock it again.

Could you try to follow this guide to see if it works:
https://www.stechguide.com/downgrade-honor-8-from-nougat-to-marshmallow/
It may lead your to marshmallow but hopefully it makes the device works. You are going to need the B131 update.zip and flashing rollback package (the site has rollback package download) using dload first before flashing the B131's update.app using dload.
So basically:
1. Flash the rollback package's update.app using dload
2. Flash update.app from B131's update.zip using dload
Once your in marshmallow, you can go back to nougat because there should be at least a twrp for honor 8 marshmallow somewhere around xda

I am really sure that this would work because I tried it before and I was able to go to Marshmallow without any software install fails using dload.
