Cant boot into recovery mode - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Instead of recovery mode, my mate 8 tries to update something. It never finishes and sits at 5% what is it that my phone wants?

Probably you have a dload folder with update.app inside on your SD?

When you try to boot into recovery please make sure, that your mobile is not plugged into your PC. This will trigger a sort of emergency recovery that will load the data via Huwawei's service tool. Hope this solves your problem.

yea im trying to get into twrp again and my phone refuses to, i have some twrp backups i want to restore because my phone has updated to some strange version of Huawei Mate 8 firmware. Its model number is just NEXT rather than something like AL10 or NXT-L29 (NXT-L29 is what mine was before this update) and im trying to restore a backup. It freezes at recovery mode boot. Ive tried to use ADB to install twrp and it gets stuck. can i somehow trigger a twrp backup from my phones sd card in another way? my phone is not rooted anymore.

Few times i see that cant boot in recovery mode (TWRP was previously installed but not TWRP but EMUI loaded). Red (not as earlier orange warning than phone is unlocked and not trusted)
I remember that solve it with rayglobe italian knife.

[SOLVED] H60-L02 bricked beyond recovery? Plz help me!

edit: If you are just looking for the solution, plz click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68626049&postcount=11
Hey there,
first of all I want to say Thank You for this great community and the work at XDA. Awesome. :good:
I bricked my Honor 6 H60-L02 and I am lost to bring it back to life. :crying:
Where it started:
I was using the official ROM from this thread [OFFICIAL] Honor 6 (L02, L12, L04) Stock ROMs. To be more specific it was the latest Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0 B823 that I installed with all the different OTA-Files starting with the original 5.1 ROM B535. The Honor was rooted and also the bootloader is still unlocked (I already checked the status via Fastboot.).
After I while the Honor 6 started to crash sometimes and the headphone-buttons didn't worked anymore. Then a few days ago the phone crashed and I was not able to boot it again.
And so I tried this:
Using the Rollback-Zip to go back to 5.1. But the 3btn-method didn't worked. The phone didn't want to boot into the recovery. Also the Vol+ and Power-Button didn't work to start the Recovery of the phone. Result: Bootloop.
So I installed ADB and Fastboot (with all necessary drivers) and tried to flash the phone with the 5.1 B535 (as mentioned in Honor 6 H60-L02 Hard Bricked - Only access to fastboot (Vol+ and Usb PC)) because there isn't a 6.0 B823 ROM available. I was able to flash boot, recovery, cust, system, userdata and another one I forgot right now. But the result was the same: Bootloop and no 3-btn or recovery via Vol+ and Power-Button. I also tried to flash it with the HonorTool. Same result.
Then I tried to flash different TWRP versions as recovery. Result: The same as above.
So I tried another official ROM 5.1 B526 because someone had the same problem and was able to recover his phone with this ROM (another thread in the forum). But that didn't worked ether.
Then I tried to flash all the img-files of the 5.1. B535 as crc, ptable and so on because I thought that there could be the problem. But when I tried e.g. to flash crc I get the error FAILED: command not allowed. So I tried to unlock the phones partition via Fastboot and fastboot flashine unlock_critical. But using the command unlock_critical gives me also the Failed error. So I was lost again.
Status right now:
I'm still able to boot into the bootloader via Vol- and Power. But right now the phone was running out of battery. Means I see the red battery symbol when I try to start the phone via the power button (without connecting to the PC or charger) but it isn't booting even into the bootloop. The red battery symbol pops up for a second and the screen went black again.
When I use the charger then the symbol changes to a green battery and stays there, but not the moving one that indicates that the phone is charging. When I use the Power button with usb-charger connected to start the phone I'm trapped in the bootloop again.
You see I already tried a lot of different things I could find on the forum. But nothing worked for me.
I know that it was a fault to try to install 5.1 B535 without the rollback, but I wasn't able to rollback as mentioned under point 1.
Maybe anyone could give me a hint and help me to bring my phone back to life.
Thx a lot! I appreciate that al lot!
If you need anymore informations, plz let me know.

Just flash boot, Cust, recovery and system images and let it boot normally. Don't do any button combo. I have had instances where it works. Give it a try.
With which version?

Thx for your reply.
With which version should I flash? B535 or B526? Should I only flash the three images boot, cust and system? Nothing else?

You can use any firmware but the latest one should be better, and flash four images, boot, Cust, system and boot and let it boot normally.
Then put the dload folder with update.app in sd card and do an update from settings.
Thx. I will give it a try when I'm back from work.
I let you know if it is working.

Hey muradulislam,
Thx again.
I flashed the images (boot.img twice) but without success. Still the same error (with normal booting aka without any special button combination or with button combination). The honor boots and stays in the bootmode aka bootloop with the led blinkin red. And I still can't boot into recovery via Vol+ and Power..
Any other suggestions?

Of all the things you have already tried, the only thing remains to take it to a Huawei service center.
May be someone else can help you here but I have read most of honor 6 and 7 posts and I don't think there is anything there for this problem atm.
Hmm, thx. That is bad...
I bought this phone in China when I was there for work. And I suppose that the german service of Huwaei will not help me at all with this phone.
Does anybody else have any clue how to bring the phone back to life?
Thx a lot.

I myself have an H60-L01, bought it from china, bricked and tried everything to revive it but could not, still have to try Huawei customer service in Pakistan, am not sure whether they will be able to help me or not, but will give it a try. I wish you luck buddy. Hope you find a solution.
It's alive ;o)
The phone is working again.
Here are the steps I did for everybody else confrontated with same problem:
1. Download your last working ROM or OTA-File: In my case the OTA-File OTA-EMUI 4.0_H60-L02-L12_B811_B823.zip from this Mega-Link:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!KwhlRKYR
2. Unzip the file and extract recovery.img and boot.img with the Huawei Update Extractor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454).
3. Boot the phone into fastboot mode (connect the USB cable, press the power button to turn off and immediately press the volume down button).
4. Use fastboot to flash the two images of 2. If you need fatsboot you can find it here http://www.mediafire.com/download/o5ruw752ked884u/adb+H60.zip (Extract adb.zip and copy the extracted files from 2. in the folder adb. In the adb folder run cmd.exe as administrator.)
5. Use this commands for flashing:
fastboot devices => If the device is recognized correctly it is displaying a series of numbers
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot reboot
6. Charge the phone with the Huawei charger, not via USB/PC! (50% is enough.)
7. Download in the meantime the Developer ROM H60_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_6.1.1.zip from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!6w5inQ6Z
8. Extract the zip file from 7. and copy UPDATE.app onto your SD-Card into /dload
9. Insert the SD without connecting.
9.1. Disconnect the USB cable from your PC or charger.
9.2. Press the Power button to turn off (maybe that is not necessary.)
9.3. When you feel the vibration press 3btn (Vol+ and Vol- and Power).
9.4. When the Honor logo appears connect your SD-Card (continue to press 3btn for 8 -10 more seconds) => Wait for the recovery process, it should start automatically.
10. After installation Android boots. Skip the first step installation (you should now have the 6.1.1. Developer-Edition installed). Rollback to Android 5.1.1 with the Rollback-File Rollback 591 EMUI3.0.zip from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9qrd8zm9280gy5e/Rollback+591+EMUI3.0.zip
Do do so put the unzipped UPDATE.app from the Rollback-File onto your SD-Card and do a local update via the Update Manager.
11. Boot into Android again (it will still be the 6.1.1 Developer Edition). In my case I want to install the latest Android 5.1.1 B535 from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!6w5inQ6Z
I did it via local update again.
12.. After installation and booting => Voila here is your working Android 5.1.1 B535 again. Have fun
13. Brick it again with updating to Android 6.0
I hope I could help somebody with my experience to bring his/her phone back to life.

The error is the same as here club.huawei.com/thread-7962289-1-1.html
I tried to put EMUI4.0, then the phone stopped working. Through ADB stitched, weighting system, boot, recovery, cust.img. It shows all ok. But then the error again. He tried to put different versions of TWRP. On the 3 button also does not work.
Thank you for your attention to my problem.

You can't use 3 button with custom recovery and root. It wont work.
You need stock recovery in the same version as the rest of files used to flash other partitions.
Flash all stock partitions, then just boot the phone. Check if it works. Forget about TWRP and root for now. One thing at a time.
Nothing helps. I sew different versions via Fastboot. Everywhere all shows OK. However, when you restart the exact same mistake again ..

I got a problem at 9.3 or 9.4. The recovery wont start i see only honor logo i used PE_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_6.1.1.zip (as developer edition i.e sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP) and PE-UL00-V100R001CHNC00B200.zip to extract and flash BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img
any ideas why i can't enter in recovery? =(
EDIT: "fixed with DC-Phoenix tool"

Factory reset, now stuck at TWRP, can't access fastboot and rescue

Ive been running KangVIP with no problems, however I got some adware which refused to go away, so I attempted to factory reset via the phones menu. It then ended up stuck at the TWRP screen. This has happened before so next I tried to restore a previous backup...not successful. I can't access fastboot and rescue to flash the official recovery.
Anyone got any help? Is there a guide to flashing the stock rom or have I borked my phone?
You can not shut down the device and connect it via USB to a PC and boot while holding volume down button into fastboot mode?
Well then you have ruined your phone.
I'm OP, was unable to get into my usual account last night. I'm not sure how, but holding volume up, down and power seemed to kick start it back to life and I'm back running KangVIP. I don't think I'll be resetting it again for a very long time.

MATE 7 not booting

Hi, need some urgent help here.
I was trying to install a custom rom, so I unlocked first the bootloader, then flashed twrp 3.0.2 for Android 5.1 and with it I flashed KangVip rom (porto from honor 6).
Problem was it didn't boot, just black screen.
So I supposed the problem was with the rom so I flashed via fastboot the aosp 6, obviously with same results.
I tried lot of stuff (twrp 2.8.x.x, reinstall stock firmware, restore twrp backup of stock full firmware and so on - I did almost everything I could do) and now I'm with a Huge problem: no huawei logo at start, just a white screen and nothing happen. I have twrp 3.0.2 for 5.1 installed right now but I can't install stock recovery.
Please help me, what do I gotta do?
[emoji30]
the ported rom is based on Android 6.0 you have Android 5.1 youk should flash 5.1 based rom..
it's good to flash stock and update official to b560 or b571 depending on which region to have then flash twrp recovery and then flash desire rom..

Thx for this.
But I have a problem, I can't install stock recovery and if I try to flash the .img files extracted from update.app nothing happens.
Also, I still have that problem with huawei logo disappeared and a blank white screen instead.

boot into bootloader and flash stock recovery but if you know what exactly firmware was you have(bxxx) then no need to flash recovery just put update.app to your sd card and then force update three buttons combination (volume both and power) turn off it remove data cable then press these three buttons it'll go in recovery sometime but try two or three times(in recovery turn off device) and try again if that method not work you should flash stock recovery to do so and if it didn't go to bootloader(fastboot) then connect data cable and then press vol- and power it'll go to bootloader in bootloader flash stock recovery then force update your device....

Hope you can help me out here...I had just gotten my HAM7 for a couple of days. Was on 4.4.2 B120, was able to get it up to B326. Just yesterday I attempted to flash up to B331 and it succeeded according to the "local update" option. Then it went on boot loop. I tried doing the force 3-button option and that worked to the point of saying it succeeded and will reboot. Now I'm stuck on Ascend Mate logo. I can no longer get into factory option mode (V+Power), only fastboot mode. Also, I can't do force update no more so I can't try any other "update.app" unless I'm missing something here.
Any help in getting this unit at least back to working condition will be a BIG help. I just received this two days ago.
Thx!!!!

Yes, bootloader is unlocked. FYI, I can't do Vol+ Power or 3-button force. I have no idea what went wrong after the B331 update.app flash. It said successful then boot loop after. I have looked all over the forums and tried everything from flashing C900B300 rollback to try and get 4.4.2 that I started out with, but I really don't know which firmware to start with. The last update.app files I was using was the European variants. Phone was originally locked to Ecuador MoviStar network at B120SP04, then I flashed up to B324 5.1.1. Rooted and then wanted to upgrade to B331 so I unrooted and flashed. Now I'm stuck.

Thank you very much....hope that will solve the boot issue and bring this unit back to life
Alright, so I've given up complete hope that I can get my unit back up and running again. I've tried so many ways already with no success (fastboot/adb, force upgrade, etc.,), and even tried to copy my second HAM7 images (via sdk tools) and to no avail.
The thing I'm trying to understand is where exactly do I start with trying to revive? When I first got this device from eBay, it was apparently still on "MoviStar" Telefonica-Spain network so my network bars showed "R" for roaming. Somehow, I was able to flash it from being on V100R001C00B120SP04a and upgrade to B127>B145>B324 which made me able to use my own service normally. It worked fine and I was even able to root it. Decided to do a last upgrade to B331 and while the local update option showed it as successfully installed, it went into boot loop ever since. Hence, I used European firmwares for most of the flashing. My second mate was on B145 and I was able to get that to B331, which is running fine right now.
ATM, I am ONLY able to do Volume-/Power to get into fastboot.
Doesn't work:
- V+/Power (stock recovery)
- V-+/Power (3-button force)
What works:
- V-/Power with USB for fastboot
*Bootloader is unlocked, but I do believe that after flashing the last firmware of B331, I may have done a factory wipe, which probably reset the USB debugging option as well. So, I'm sure I'm stuck with a device that just might be flashed on the wrong firmware and is factory reset which prevents me from flashing a custom rom or even the stock rom???
Any last advice I would be so thankful for...still waiting on the link for KangVip rom from (fazi2015)
All the best...

Okay, so final result is I'm stuck on a frozen logo now. The twrp bat file again showed success in flashing and rebooted the device, but I'm hung on the "Huawei Ascend" logo. I have to pull the battery to shut it off, otherwise it stays on. So I'm now sure that it's a hard bricked device since I did the stupid thing of factory resetting which probably reset the usb debug...making it almost impossible to flash any firmware now.
Thanks for the help anyways...I really appreciate it. Gonna throw this up on eBay and see if anyone wants it for parts

I know it's annoying but last time I research more and guide you I was have same problem don't give up....
I send you recovery flash in fastboot no need of usb debugging usb debugging need for adb not for fastboot in fastboot flash recovery by your self download it
https://mega.co.nz/#!GRw0CZjQ!iZllDkA6yJeWk7iEA4vEVA94r2nM_YjAuiS8B9IZdm0
then extract the zip go to resource and hold shift and left click then select open command port here then power off device completely boot into fastboot (bootloader) connect the device to pc and in command port type
fastboot flash recovery twrp_2_7.img
after that type
fastboot reboot and hold the volume- button of device it'll boot into recovery if you success then reply..
I've noticed two things when flashing KK or LP. On KK, the phone does a constant boot loop with Huawei logo (on off on off), but on LP the Huawei logo hangs...it doesn't boot loop. Is this an indication or just a fault with both OS?

Not able to get into TWRP recovery, stuck on "Your device is booting now..."

Not able to get into TWRP recovery, stuck on "Your device is booting now..."
Hey everyone,
I just unlocked my bootloader and now want to flash TWRP and SuperSU. My Phone is already Nougat with Emui 5.
The Problem is that I'm just not able to enter the recovery. When pressing volume down + power or trying "adb reboot recovery" in the command line, the phone starts in the "unlocked bootloader warning screen". But not like in the normal warning screen it doesn't give me options but just shows a white line saying "Your device is booting now..." and thats where it gets stuck. Only gets hotter...
The fun thing is I already was in the recovery but wasn't able to flash the SuperSU (r275). Maybe it was not compatible with Nougat. TWRP just couldn't mount various things. After reflashing the recovery below instead of some other version (don't know anymore) I'm not able to enter the recovery again.
Feels like I searched the whole Internet and there is nearly nobody with the problem or a solution. Tried this as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-boot-to-twrp-recovery-lost-root-t3567462. It seems like nobody who published a Honor 8 + Nougat + TWRP + SuperSU "How To" acutally tried it himself.
I used this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
Please help me I can't use WhatsApp because I need to restore it with Titanium (Database way doesn't restore all chats... Other problem)
Thanks everybody I just can't stand this anymore
I had this issue after downgrading to EMUI 4.1 and upgrading to 5.0 again via twrp. I flashed some old 3.0.2.0 version from another developer. Booted into that, flashed the update.zip package for emui 5.0 and then i was able to successfully flash and boot into 3.1.1.0

Thank you I got it!
So I got my L09 with Nougat/Emui 5 on it. Then just used TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70228949&postcount=252 (bootable, think ist ist 3.0.2.0) then flashed 3.1.1.0 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563 (bootable) and finally flashed SuperSu from first Link again. Other SuperSU versions (like the phh r275) WERE NOT flashable.
Magisk is the most compatible root solution for the Honor 8 on Nougat. The only thing that doesn't work (seamlessly) is MagiskHide, but the root itself works and flashes fine from TWRP.
I have tried to flash twrp multiple times to no success. I have tried multiple variations of the tool but for some reason when I go try to boot into recovery it takes me to erecovery which fails to do anything.
Are you sure about button combination
If you're trying to boot in to recovery with your phone plugged in to the computer it will także you to erecovery. If only i could find the person who całe up with this stupid idea that caused me hours of struggles, they'd pay for it. also when you use the pwr + vol.down combination let go off the power when you feel the vibration and further hold the vol.down until you see the boot screen appear.

I tried this like 20 times but this time it worked! I know have TWRP working. weird think tho is that no keyboard or default Huawei apps are preinstalled and BT isn't working.
Few problems with Binary SU and BusyBox
My phone seems to be rooted. Titanium Backup works but I have to accept every App instalation manually. With other settings restoring gets stuck. Also SuperSU reminds me every time that my BinarySU needs an actualisation but fails if it tries. And finally BusyBox just isn't able to get itself installed.
I'm thinking about restoring stock firmware, update to Nougat, and flash the two TWRP Versions and SuperSU again but hate to spend ours on my phone. OnePlus One rooting was sooo easy...

Is there a number of times you have to do it? How should I transition from this stupid "Your device is an enemy of the state" screen to something that will connect to adb?

bricked bll-l22 can only boot to twrp, and dload folder dont work

Hi all
I have a huawei gr5 2017 bll-l22 that is totally bricked.. I had it on newest stock firmware, and rootet and installed twrp 3.1.2 berlin edition. after reboot it could only boot to twrp, and not the system. I have tried to get out of this by flashing kangvip rom, but adter that i lost the bootscreen, so now it only shows a green screen with a red and blue box, and then boots to twrp.
I can get it to boot to download mode from twrp, but evwn though i have unlocked frp and bootloader, it now says "phone locked" and if i try to flash anything it says it is not allowed failing right away.
I can not go back to stock rom as the dload folder procedure fails to work, it does only boot to twrp no matter what key sequence i press when booting.
I can however install from twrp and use the restore function. I have tried to download a twrp backup from same model and it installs everything, but fails at restoring the recover partition.
Furthermore i can not mount vendor and product.
I am thinking if I now what partitions (mmcblk***) all the partitions is supposed to be on, i might be able to mount them manually from the terminal window in twrp.
Could someone with a working bll-l22 give me this info?
It is posIble to get a list of the mounted partitions including what block they are mounted on using the "Android device system information" tool.
I would be very gratefull for this info or any other help i could get with the problem.
The following method can help you recovering your device.
1. Download the Rollback package for the phone for US version. It is BLN-L24 available on Honor US site.
2. Download the base package available on the site BLN-L24B110
3. Copy the rollback package to a SD Card and use dload method.
4. Now copy the Base package for BLN-L24 using dload flash it.
5. The device will boot to US Version with MM firmware.
6. Now using Firmware Finder app Update to the version you require for your original model.
Try this is it work.
I tried the rollback on my original Huawei gr5 emui 5.bllll2 and bricked it.. I don't think you can use twrp for the most up to date firmware for this phone yet?? I've been searching for ages but not sure if I want to try it again..
No do not use TWRP for rollback package. Boot the phone to Fastboot and flash the stock recovery. Now use the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power Key combination to rollback using dload method. Always remember to keep TWRP on recovery2 partition which is a safe option. It will have your stock and TWRP both on the phone,
Use this procedure
1.Download package from support sitehttp://consumer.huawei.com/in/support/mobile-phones/honor6x-in-sup.htm
2.Then extract update.app from zip file
3.boot in fastboot mode and flash stock recovery image on recovery not on recovery2
4.Now boot into the twrp and enable mtp mode
5.create 'dload' folder in internal storage and put update.app in dload folder
6.then power off device
7.boot your phone pressing Volume UP+Volume DOWN + Power Off simultaneously
8.then it will start updating
Team MT tool
Use Team MT multi toolhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=24407
thanks for all the replys.. none of the solutions work.. the dload function is not working (tried with sdcard and internal memory) and in fastboot on the phonescreen in the bottom it says "phone locked" and all attempts to flash whatever img file results in error "remote, not allowed".. I have succesfully (allmost) recovered a fulæ system via restore function in twrp and a downloaded backup.. but it fails when it reaches vendor and product..
I have noticed that if i use terminal command "mount -a" it says thay it fails to mount vendor and produkt on /dev/block/mmcblk0p47 & /dev/block/mmcblk0p48.. but those do not exist.. in /dev/block/mmc**** the numbers go from only .
I have tried editing /etc/recovery.fstab, and manually mounted vendor and produkt to all "free" mmcblk0p* but only changes the error from "invalid argument" to "block device needed" when trying to mount them or work with them in twrp
i mean the numbers in /dev/block/mmcblk0p goes from 1 to 42 only
Okay!! So I tried for the millionth time to use the dload function.. I did everything as all the other times.. formated the sdcard, made the dload folder, copied the update.app to the folder and used the three keys to boot..
LOW AND BEHOLD! For some reason this time it actually got to the screen with the cirklecle saying emui, and started the update..
After it finnished it rebooted, still showong the green screen with blue and red box, but after a minute is went to black screen, still powered on..
I left it maybe 15 minutes.. still nothing.. So i rebootet to recovery, but now the twrp is gone and it boots to erecovery.. it offers to download and recover via wifi, but it fails to get package data from server..
So i tried to use three other update.app files, wich all failed because the model is wrong it says.. Even though i used ones for gr5 2017 bll-l22..
Strange.. but after these failed attempts, i decided to try another update.app file and by accident press reboot in stead of shutdown in the erecovery.. And now the phone still shows the green screen with boxes, but then i got a Huawei logo, and it freaking booted the phone completely!
Only difference i can think of with the dload method, from all my millions last attempts, is that this time i formated the sdcard in another phone first.. not in the huawei or the pc..
I am actually writing this on the former bricked bll-l22!
One thing that bugs me is that the phone name and model number in "about phone" is wrong.. name says onyx a168, and model says generic_a15...
Any idear how i get this fixed?
Okay.. new update.. Trying to fix the wrong model name and number and escape the testkeys release OS, I ended up trying to flash again with the dload folder.. only file it would install was the testkeys version.. So i tried to flash manually the stock rom in fastboot, i successfully flashed both recovery and recovery2, but it failed to upload system after first partial image was sent.. So it left me with a crippled system that would not boot once again.. andnow the dload function did not work again.. I tried for some reason to relock the bootloader, thinking that might help, with the fastboot command "fastboot oem relock ********" and then it wanted to reboot to restore factory setting.. Only now it halted again in boot screen, and would not even go into recovery or fastboot anymore.. Connectiong to pc was also not possible as it just did nothing.. The pc did not see it when connected.. So i was out of options, the phone would only stay on initial boot screen forever and get very hot..
I read in another post in this forum that another user had contacted Huawei and told them he had rooted ect and bricked his phone, and they fixed it anyway under warranty.. And i have still (technically anyways) warranty on the device..
OK so i called Huawei in Thailand (where it is bought and i live), and told them what the problem with the phone was, not mentioning root though, just told them the symtoms it showed now.. They found that nearest service center is 4 hours from where i live, and asked if it was convinient for me to go there.. As i said no, not really, they offered to send a currier for the phone! Next morning the currier got the phone at my house, and three days later he brought is back (today).. They have changed the motherboard and the phone is like brand new again!! Under warranty and with free currier service on top too!! I feel confident the service center without a doubt knew what the cause would be for a phone to be so f*cked up as it was, only showing a green screen with blue and red box and nothing else..
Huawei you rock!! That is just world class, first class, customer service and warranty service!!
My wife gave the stink eye and made me promise to not f*ck it up again hahahaha
Lets see if i can keep it. Maybe i should just use my old galaxy s5 to fool around with in stead.. That i know ho to fix even if bricked beyond boot and dead..
Whoa that's an awesome move by Huawei team, they even sent a courier at you?! That's how a customer care should always work. So nice
Yes they even sent a currier to my house.. And returned it same way, free of charge.. They freaking rock!

Fantastic. Haven't heard of any such positive support after sales. This is awesome atleast for you bro.
Sometimes its nightmare for user even for a small issue while claiming the warranty.
To be honest.. I was expecting a call from some "angry" support worker from Huawei saying: "sorry we cant help you, unless you pay this and that!".. But i was very wrong and very pleased!

They are being served by the same backend.its just a front end changed. We had lot of talk on this with Huawei CEO as well in China and were clarified.
Another option
Since you have twrp you are in good shape.
What you need to do first is download the files to an sd card from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-t3641267 (unoficial.zip and vendor IMG. --opengapps is optional and can be done later)
Step two download the .zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-t3641768 (pa_berlin - same thing with open gapps again)
Now if you still have adb tools on your computer you are good.
You need to now put the SD card in the phone and boot to TWRP. Go to wipe and click advanced wipe, and select everything except internal memory and external sd card.
Now, Click on install and find the FIRST RROS zip you downloaded and install that.
Now, go back to the install and install the vendor img. Then go back and go to the file manager and locate that vendor image and copy it then paste it to the SD Card that is on the internal memory, not the external SD card that it is already on.
Now, plug your phone into your computer and open your adb tools command prompt. More than likely it will not show up as a connected device and you will have to tinker around twrp and try adb sideload and if it doesn't work try shell fastboot reboot fastboot and so on. Eventually you will find an area that will allow adb commands.
When you do, type... adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/vendor.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor
Now unplug your phone and wipe cache and dalvik and reboot back to twrp. You could reboot your system but it will not boot all the way up but installing this first allows you to install the next set of downloads and your phone will work.
Now that you are back in TWRP click install and find the second zip you downloaded (pa_Berlin) and install it. Wipe cache and dalvik. And reboot system. Your phone will now boot up.
If you enjoy google apps download open gapps and install it in TWRP. The Pico version only has play store , so you can install what you want.
Have fun.

I'm in a similar situation as the original post, but the /vendor and /prodcut partitions appear as being 0MB and no matter what they always fail to be mounted when using TWRP.
I can do every step you mention but not the installation of vendor.img from TWRP as the partition cannot be mounted.
Do you by any chance know would a solution be to get /vendor mounted and follow fully your steps?
