Help Me Unbrick the Mate 8

So as you may know... I tried a little too hard and bricked my Mate 8.
I can get into flashboot with a black screen. I dug through the flashboot image and found some things that might help. Namely, doing the following:
fastboot flash rescue_recovery RECOVERY.IMG (from any Huawei rom version)
fastboot getvar rescue_enter_recovery
This will boot my phone into a mode where the light blinks green three times and red one time. It says it's some kind of HiSuite recovery mode that's being launched, from Fastboot, but no USB device is detected by the computer when it's plugged in.
I think this may be the entrypoint to recovering the phone (My guess is bootloader is the issue and needs to be reflashed, but can't be from fastboot). But I can't figure out how to proceed from here, having no recognized USB device. Putting recovery files on an SD card does nothing.
The other thing I've tried is using HiSuite with the phone in this mode, where it's recognized (it's a fastboot device so it should be...) but trying to do any kind of recovery from HiSuite says my device is not supported. NXT-AL10 is listed in supported devices so my guess is it's because of the unlocked bootloader.
What I'm hoping is that someone can try running the commands from fastboot and see if they get the same green/red light blinking status. Also, hoping that someone might find a way to flash an update.app from there. I can't get into any recovery mode other than that and fastboot, and flashing the permitted partitions (system, cache, userdata, recovery, cust) from flashboot doesn't help.
Thanks for anyone who can offer anything. If I can get my device working, I'll resume my work on finding various firmware versions and fixing the notification bug, but until then, I'm out of luck. My device is from China, so local Huawei Japan can't help me, too, sadly.

Can you fastboot other partitions except 5 partitions above ?
My idea , Maybe other parttition has problem but we can't know what partitions. If we fastboot flash other partitions maybe help.

im presuming uve most likely already checked that option, but just to make sure: the italian knife tool includes an experimental unbrick option for such emergency cases. maybe acer73 can provide some input there, since i havent used that option yet (might just be the inbuilt erecovery, in which case its useless for you, but hey, better be thorough, right?)

My tool don't work in this case. Duraaraa I give you in pm a Link for bulk driver

Just to update, the only partitions fastboot lets you flash are the ones mentioned above... cust, system, cache, recovery, userdata
There are also two special things that can be flashed, which aren't known publicly. One is called slock (I've yet to figure out how to use this) the other is rescue_recovery (this is what I was trying to work with.)
As for the information sent to me by acer, I appreciate it but unfortunately I don't see any such device as USBVID_12D1&PID_3609&REV_0000 so I can't do much with it.

Is it possible that you had that option activated in your previous ROM and now it's still active even if you can't find it anymore in your latest flashed ROM?

IMHO this option is somehow hardcoded and not changeable/resettable flashing a new ROM.
Otherwise it will be easy for a thief to disable this protection system...

interesting, so basically hed have to somehow reflash the chinese rom and manually disable that function in order to get his phone going again....

I don't think so, on the new phone just remember not to activate the Find my phone option before flashing.

If you enable this option, you can use the eRecovery to flash the rom freshly over again. On first bootup it will ask for your huawei ID and password to activate the phone. So you can't get around it by flashing. You need to know your huawei ID to set up the phone, then you can just not enable the option.

Stuck in ERROR MODE

I already wrote something like this in a similar thread, but for another device (read the device name wrong), so I thought i should post it in the right place.
I have been playing too much with stuff that i probably shouldn't have been so hasty about. So i have finally arrived here on the ERROR MODE (with unstoppable boot loop), which looks exactly like the bootloader only it says ERROR MODE instead of whatever, where i can't get into any other type of recovery or fastboot mode, no matter what button combinations i do. I previously could get to the fastboot mode, but i was still stuck so..... I made the very wise choice of relocking (since i hadn't tried that) my device, and now I can't even access fastboot (nothing. tried every button combination i can think of). So I am sitting here wondering if this is the end of the journey with my... relatively new phone... So, yes. No way of accessing anything and my phone is in a reboot loop i can't stop. Only thing is the error code i get "ERROR!":
"Func NO : 16 (lpm3 image)"
"Error NO : 1 (security verify failed!)"
Is there hope? or no?
Also noticed the light flashes green 3 times then red 1, then continues this pattern. Idk if that's useful or not.

Here's a pic.
It doesn't seem to have fastboot connection here, either.

OP were you ever able to fix this issue?

@Kimuchuu its not clear from OP had you relocked your bootloader if yes then you cant modify your system you need to have unlocked bootloader inorder to perform system modifications.

Ah. Yes, unfortunately I relocked it. I ended up sending it to service with no hopes of getting it back working, but they sent me a brand new one. So that's that.
I guess I was lucky, but really there was not a single thing I could do at that state.

You can be really happy that they sent you a new one, but it's not a unique case, in CZ there were few people who had same or similar issue and Repair service gave them new phone too.

You got lucky they sent you a new one considering that you messed up the previous one. Take good care this time.

I also had this problem, trying to screw around and force a ota update via flash fire onto a modified system... Reached rhe same sddor mode, luckily I was able to manually flash all the partitions back to stock using ADB and finally once all partitions were back in order it allowed me to enter recovery mode and download and install system software threw recovery... Took me about 4 days of non stop tinkering to finally get it working again, I had all but lost hope in all honesty... Thankfully I was persistent and all is well now!

Recovery is the one which installs ota updates . Erecovery is an emergency recovery. It can help u restore ur phone to previous version by flashing full original firmware

I got it back to work....
I dloaded the rollback update.app
and then the real stock software
I think the thing that saved me was that i flashed stock recovery before having the glorious idea of relocking the bootlaoder.
So for anybody:
If ur device is not working DO NOT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER

yup thats the main point if you are not fully stock and soft bricked you are not advised to lock your bootloader. Once you locked your bootloader you can no more modify your system.

Honor 8 bricked after failed unroot attempt. Please help!

Hey everyone. I rooted my Honor 8 yesterday using the following guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8-root-twrp-and-xposed/. Everything seemed to work fine at first, but soon my Bluetooth refused to turn on at random and apps constantly crashed (either on startup or when switching between them). It got annoying very quickly and after searching for hours and not finding any real solution, I decided root wasn't that important to me and I'd just unroot my phone and then hard reset. After using SuperSU's unroot function, my phone turned off and rebooted. But when it got to the blue screen with the honor logo, it froze. Nothing does anything. No matter which buttons I press/hold down. It's just stuck on that screen. I'd love to take out the battery, but with these new phones, it's sadly built in (who ever thought that was a good idea?). It's been this way for close to an hour. ADB doesn't recognize it anymore. The only way my PC seems to recognize it at this point is through the Device Manager, where it shows the yellow warning sign. Under Properties > General it reads "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've tried a few different things but none of them have worked. So this is where I'm at now. I'd hate to lose this phone since I just got it three months ago. I would really appreciate any sort of help, because I'm grasping at straws.

Sorry, I might not have made this clear, but I can't even turn my phone off. It's literally stuck on the blue screen (how fitting). The model should be 51090QMF, but I don't know what you mean with the last part.

My bad, I just looked it up on Amazon (where I bought it) and it said model number. This should be the real one: FRD-L09. The reboot worked, but it's still stuck on the honor logo. At least we know it's not hard-bricked now.

Yes, the 32GB one. And as I said, I was able to get into the Huawei eRecovery. I'm guessing I should just hit "Download latest version and recovery" at this point, but I was waiting just to be sure.

[HELP] Honor 6X brick

Hello everyone,
Today around 12:00, my phone did install the latest EMUI update available (365). However, I didn't noticed it and then I couldn't stop it ...
It messed up my system and I wasn't able to boot. eRecovery wasn't working either (unable to get packages).
I had twrp so I thought this was no big deal, but I couldn't manage to reinstall a stock rom, nor install a custom rom (I've tried them all, and none was working : blackscreens all the time), even thought I have experience in flashing roms and messing around with smartphones
I tried to rollback to an older version of my stock rom using huawei's rollback package (even if the manual says that I shouldn't do this since I unlocked my bootloader). The installation was flawless, and then it rebooted to reset my user data. The reset failed, and still couldn't boot.
I've tried to install custom roms again after that, but I was missing "/vendor" and "/product".
I am desperate and out of ideas.
I have access to bootloader, I have fastboot, twrp, and I have experience in flashing and all this stuff.
If you like challenges and you wanna proove that you're the very best like no one ever was, your help is much appreciated
Best regards,
Hazreath
PS : sorry for any english mistake

I was talking about the second one. The first one was ghe dload flash. You use it if you want to manually flash a firmware. Maybe you cantry that too. Download a full firmware for your model (more or less 2GB in size), extract the update.app inside and put it in dload folder inside storage, and press the volume up, volume down and power buttons.

I already tried that and it led me to nothing :/
I tried both the EMUI 5.0 firmware and the rollback to EMUI 4.1. They were the only ones availables.
5.0 install failed(uncompatible), and rollback install worked but then user data reset failed...
What was your idea with the second one ? I can access to it, I was wrong (I modified my post a minute ago )

Get the zip file and extract it in a "dload" folder (create it) to your sdcard.
Put the sdcard into your phone and boot by pressing vol+,vol- and power, then click on the first option and wait !

My Honor View10 is stuck at 'Your device is booting now', cannot enter recovery. I tried rectifying my twrp that couldn't unmount anything and wiped up almost everything, but ended up with a bootloop.
Now my device is stuck at 'Your device has been unlock and can't be trusted. Your device is booting now' screen. I tried using the dload method to restore everything back but the device won't go past this screen.
I tried flashing it using fastboot mode by flashing system, ramdisk and what not, did get a success everytime, still the device won't go past this.
I need genuine help on this, please. Anyone?

A wrong section. May be MOD will help in moving this to QnA thread.
Able to boot to erecovery, try for downloading the latest full firmware in erecovery and see if it helps.
Else, lets start again with the oreo firmware. Updated to pie beta/stable or still were on Oreo?

I have the same issue. I tried to solve this with almost every method that I could find but nothing. At last I will try to discharge battery. Some says that it helped. But I am skeptic about it. Seems like TWRP on EMUI 9 broke everything.
My problem started when I tried to format device. It get stuck and then I tried to reboot.... Stupid, stupid, stupid

Flash GSI, clean cache and boot in fastboot, done

I have figured it out. You have to flash ramdisk_recovery and kernel. Then you should get into erecovery with pluged usb in and holding power up and power off/on button. Worked for me.
But thank you for your time.

I was in Pie actually when this happened. I think it all went wrong when I tried changing the file system.

Good Lord, I had the exact same issue actually. TWRP on the stupid **** and I tried formatting data.
I am working on this right now. Thank God you have a fix.

Just the recovery_ramdisk and kernel? Not the system? And is it safe to flash oreo instead? Or should I flash pie? Really need the root privileges.

I am not sure. I had before it got messed up. I would choose version that was installed before you got into trouble. IMHO it's must have because if you mix up versions then IMHO it can resolve into big mess.

I have unlocked bootloader. But I haven't any root like Magisk installed before. I am not sure what of those things you meant so...

UPDATE: When I reboot the smartphone it displays "Data partition was damaged seriously! and you are recommended to format it to recover your phone".
Smartphone works, but even after a factory reset it still displays that message when it boots up it gets stuck at 'Booting up'.
What can I do?

Okay, so I have recovered my phone after spending a sleepless night working on it.
Tried several combinations to see this resolved.
But, what really worked out for me was that I discharged my device twice and kept trying flashing stock rom and several relative recoveries.
After flashing stock recovery I discharged my device. Once it came back, it took me to erecovery.
From there, I started downloading the file from the recovery and did a reboot after the installation.
My Honor is working fine now.

Great job. For formatting you could use Fastboot erase *partition* . At first I thought that the cause was the badly proceeded format so I tried to erase system, recovery etc. Also I've tried to do wipe_data cmd from shell. Maybe I was just lucky. But for me, this was the last flashing of anything to this phone and I will be looking to change it as soon as possible. I don't like the restrictions made by Huawei.
Cheers

I wiped off almost everything using erase commands, missed out on writing it. Thankyou. I'm shameless, can't do withhout root. Got my pie rooted now. Never buying honor again. Tired of their rules imposition.
