So I've spent this past week trying to reboot my mate 8 with no success.
When I initially got my mate 8 i was able to root it and install an older version of Twisted Mate 8. When I tried to update to the latest version of Twisted Mate 8 thats where my problems began.
After numerous flashes and what not Its gotten to the point where the only way i can start my phone is to hold volume up as if I were to enter TWRP but instead it actually boots into the stock ROM.
Is there anyone out there can take some time to help me out here, willing to compensate for their time. Im being serious as I have no access to my contacts and need to get this phone up and running asap.
Yes, ive scoured these threads but supprt and info is so all over the place for this phone.

I had some time available today for a change and so attempted to do a long overdue update to jelly bean. Catastrophe! I dont know really where to start trying to solve the problem though I have spent my entire day off (sic) (NOT SICK!) prior to an all night 12 hour slog at work...not happy...no phone and I'm on call...ooops So now you know what a bit of a prat I am perhaps someone out there in XDA land can forgive me and point me in the direction of help pages or suggestions to get me communicating again.....please...
I rooted and unlocked my phone a long time ago and have not been back to change things for ages so anything I knew back then isn't worth knowing. I've been trying to resolve a boot loop after trying to follow :
http://www.android.gs/update-htc-sensation-cm10-1-rc2-jelly-bean-4-2-2/
i followed these instructions carefully and the only issue I had with the files to install was that the CM10.1 file wasn't available so I went with 10.2
so the first question would be....is this file incompatible. I assumed it was just the next release with some improvements?
I have ClockworkMod Recovery installed and have tried endless times to get this thinkg to work but even dropping back to an earlier version of cyanogen mod 9 my phone loops shortly after loading the cyanogen screens....
Any pointers from you guys would be a great help. I'm sure you're going to want more information from me so I'll stop here and hope someone responds
all the best and thank you in antcipation
Hi,
As a general rule recoveries that work with cm9 do not work with cm 10.1.
Ensure that you have the proper recovery version and should you still have the issue, please ask here
All the best !!
Hey guys,
Have had my Honor 6 H60-L02 FDD-LTE for little under 4 hours now
Already unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM V.6.0.5.1
I installed the MIUI v4.9.6 Rom and i don't really like it, it keeps coming up saying com.android.phone has stopped, and when you update to v4.12 it gets stuck in a boot loop
So I don't think MIUI is very stable for the phone, and I want to install EMUI v3.0 (This isn't lollipop yet is it?)
Long story short, I figure i have to reflash the stock recovery firmware because CWM wont install an Update.App file
I downloaded the Honor 6 Multitool
When i get to install recovery, i choose my honor 6 model then it asks for EMUI 2.3 or 3.0, i tried all the 3.0's and they dont load the recovery, just go back into android
so i tried some of the EMUI 2.3's, i have no idea what each number at the end represent and which one suits my phone... i.e B118SP02?
So that is what stage im at, i have MIUI v4.9.6 with CWM V.6.0.5.1
And i am trying to install EMUI v3.0 stable
Any help would be pretty awesome, can say im slightly disappointed with the availability of roms for this phone, but hopefully this will change in the future
Ok ...
i will start from beginning , i will tell you how to get the last stable update for your phone .
witch is B310【EMUI3.0_Android4.4】.
First Download it from here it's 1GB .
or from here (you should translate it first and click on stable and download) .
Second continue with this link .
Attention : Do step 6 before 5 .
Or go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57274153&postcount=1
scroll down to: 3 Button Restore not working (If you change between variant example L02>L12) Or Partition been changes and cannot restore back Stock version. Use this steps below : -
Links to the revert package etc are in the post too
Tried Myahyam's method and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop (shows the honor, powered by android splash, goes black then repeats the splash)
need to unbrick the damn thing now
im following the honor 6 multitools unbrick method, its in fastboot transfering files now, will report back when its done.
Just out of curiosity, besides MIUI and EMUI, what other roms are available to flash using CWM or TWRP?
Okay, managed to get CWM back on and sideload the MIUI4 rom again, just to prove to myself that I didn't brick my phone, so that parts all good!
I will have to try your method another time Julsen, i fly out on a 3 week holiday tomorrow morning, and want to load some games and movies to the phone to watch on the plane.
Hopefully when I come back in 3 weeks, there will be a better choice of roms to install using CWM/TWRK
If not, I will attempt your method Julsen, at least i now know how to fix any softboot/bootloop problems, good learning experience all up!
Here u will find couple of custom roms flashable via cwm

Help me please!
I am having exactly the same problem that serpent is having.
Did any1 found solution?
Hey all, back from my 3 week trip
@nrpetonr i went to that site and grabbed two roms to flash using CWM, they both seem to put it into a boot loop
This phone is strange really, ever since i have unlocked the bootloader and put on a custom rom, its been the only rom that has worked, the rest all put me into a bootloop
Maybe i should try TWRP instead
Hi,
I did something stupid - I wanted to update my phone by creating a dload folder on internal memory and updating to EMUI 4.0 beta that's floating around on the internet (I got it from carbontesla). I knew it required a B326 version, I had B324 and still went through with it, because I mistakenly thought that B326 is only required for L10 (I have L09). Now the phone is stuck in bootloop.
I have tried the following:
1. Forced update - it was apparently successful, but still the phone kept resetting
2. I reset to factory settings and wiped cache - still keeps resetting
3. I tried to force update again, this time I get an 'update failed' info and asks me to reboot. Still the same.
4. Tried to reset to factory settings and wipe cache again - still no luck.
I can't even turn the phone off, so for now I keep it in recovery mode.
Any idea what can I do? Am I screwed for good?
I searched around on XDA and other forums but couldn't find anything - if anyone can help me, I will be very grateful. I just bought this phone 3 months ago and I can't afford a new one at the moment.

Experienced all. Tsk. Should have stayed away from the Marshmallow upgrade thread.

Uh-oh... Another Mate 7 phone bricked by the Marshmallow beta B511 update...
I guess you'll just have to wait for the full official marshmallow update (no longer beta) for your TL09 phone for your region, or at least, wait for the official TL09 marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package for your region. When Huawei releases one or both, then you can install one or both via forced update (power + volume up + volume down) and have a functioning phone again.
For now, there's nothing you can do but wait and wait... unless you know your way around rooting, unlocking bootloaders and custom ROMs. There are actually quite a lot of Mate 7 owners in the similar situation as you. If only you can BAND together with a common cause/objective, your 'bricked by Marshmallow B511' group could somehow be a FORCE to reckon with that Huawei cannot ignore. Your group can petition Huawei with emails to release at least the 'marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package' for other non-China regions NOW, or the EARLIEST humanly possible...
You may want to read other users similar experiences with their bricked mate 7 phone (by installing the beta marshmallow b511 update) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...-marshmallow-b511-t3304178/page2#post65176950
It will make you feel much better knowing you are not alone. Alternately, you can just vent out your frustrations to Huawei in another thread. Not sure if its allowed in XDA though.
Those with bricked mate 7 phones:
Can you try and see if this suggestion works?

Guys I have mt7-l09 and its working with marshmallow, yes it drains more battery and some lagging in some areas but this should happen because its a beta and incremental release. For people who got spoil their phone while installing, you should read the requirements very well before downloading this rom. Its clearly mentioned for B326 and for un-rooted phones. so before you install you should install the B326 (you can download using this link: http://m.huawei.com/pkmobile/c... make sure to choose mt7-l09 or mt7-l10 and after installing the B326 install marshmallow beta.
For people who wants to downgrade, yes you can but you have to choose a full release like the B326-B327-B328.
N.B. ONLY Marshmallow BETA rom, Don't unzip the after downloading, its not like the other updates. You should copy the zipped file as is to inside "dload" folder.
Just a tip, some releases are not supporting 4G lte especially when it marked Europe.
For people who keep rebooting, try to connect you phone to pc or take out the memory card and use card reader and access your files and then delete the files from the "dload" folder and then download using your pc any full release rom (b326 or b327 or b328) and extract it and then copy the "UPDATE" file to the dload folder and then turn off the phone and then boot your phone while holding Vol up + Vol down + Power buttons at same time to automatically trigger the update installation and should go smooth.
Hope my comments will help

Here are the links to full ROMs:

i had that problem when tray to update it to MM tray it all the way no LUUUUUUUUCK
last i went to the Huawei Services the joke is they also can noooooooooooot do anything ??
last they decide it to change the main board of the phone then .. phone start with KK after that no problem
but i will never ever buy this brand again !!!!!!
Bare with me, I'm a total noob and I hold my hands up, I got a galaxy note 8.0, rooted it fine then I went to install CM 13 for it following partially instructions partially my own knowledge and now it's muffed. No matter how many times I tried it wouldn't work and I was messing around with it all night last night and all day today and in my infinat wisdom I removed all OS from it full stop. I have been sat here for 6 hours trying to put cm on it (tried 11, 12 and 13) tried installing stock marshmallow I downloaded from some site, and even some other ROM I can't remember off the top of my head (the logo is a horse's head or something) and yep nothing what so ever i have tried several different boot thingies like twrp and it always fails when I try to install the ROM, I know I should have backed up and I thought I had using titaniumbackup but that went with the OS. It's currently got twrp on it and I can get into that and connect it Odin (I think that's what it's called) but that's all I can do. Is it fixable or is it scrap? >.<
Update, after putting it down and thinking about it from another perspective I worked out a fix, it's back running 4.4.2 and works fine (on my note I will say the latest update of the Google app causes a problem with the system UI if you have Google now as your launcher) I'll update with full details in the morning in hopes that if anyone else has a similar problem this will help.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Have you tried any of the CM based roms from xda ? You may only need to update your recovery. Both of these should work on your device

After searching around and not being 100% sure on how I should go about fixing this particular bootloop I decided to post a thread. Bootloader unlocked, phone unlocked, FRP unlocked, and TWRP installed. Can't seem to get the phone recognized when plugged in no matter where I'm at and hisuite recovery doesn't work, nor does the erecovery or whatever it's called. I had the phone running just fine with supersu but after installing my usual Xposed/Busybox and rebooting I got caught in a bootloop. (might have been caused by being on Oreo and having some problems with a version made for Nougat or something). I've seen there are various ways to exit the loop and at this point I'd be open to any but I do notice some posts saying they almost bricked their phone while doing so. Currently on my microSD I've got a hwota update I was going to try to use. I've got no backups in TWRP either because I'm irresponsible (my fault). What can I do to just wipe the phone, reinstall any version of android and get back to where I was at. I'm a little new to this as I've only ever rooted my tablet. Thanks for the help and all the info I've taken from this forum before and hopefully now. Forgot to mention I don't know my full device number only MHA-L29 in the US.
Ok Well after laying in bed and thinking about it I wound up running HWOTA8 from TWRP since I could access that. Seemed to just bring me back to eRecovery, and I factory reset my phone. I'll reinstall TWRP and flash supersu then make a backup and try again. Not sure what happened but I seemed to be in a pretty good spot since I could access TWRP even though my phone wouldn't show up on my computer while in fastboot/Recovery mode.
edit: oh I got a new problem now. I'm on testkeys firmware, camera, sim, and bluetooth work but I can't update from 7 back to 8. I'll do more testing around before bothering to unlock bootloader or install TWRP.
I've been trying to follow the guide in this thread but to no avail. I just get software install failed and then I have to start again.
Well another day of searching google and XDA trying to figure out guides and I don't think I'm any closer to a solution to getting off test-keys. Some seem to suggest that you need to go back to MM, some suggest running HWOTA, some suggest the three button recovery and others say that won't work at all. I'm not sure I've ever felt this confused haha. I'll keep at it but there has to be some way to get to a build that has the updater on it since that's all I seem to be lacking to get off test-keys. I can even search the settings for the updater but when you press it nothing happens. It's like they completely removed any sort of updating this build can do.

What is your full build number? Please, post screenshot.

Model: MHA-L29
Build: NRD90M test-keys
EMUI version: 5.0.1
Android version: 7.0
I believe I was originally on some variant of MHA-L29C567 since I'm US based and its the dual sim version
I've tried using HWOTA a few times to either upgrade/update or rebrand and no matter what I choose when my phone restarts to install I just get software install failed. Usually I'll have to run through first time setup again. I've read that some people said this particular issue had to do with the update zips but mine seem to be named correctly so all I can think of doing is getting another firmware and trying again with that.
haha okay so I found out I was putting the update zips in the wrong folder. I fixed that and re ran HWOTA. update started/finished and my phone started booting and restarting a lot then went into erecovery. I'm downloading the update package right now and it's slow as hell but it's moving. And that failed leaving me to boot a few times and then get back to erecovery. I'll try getting into fastboot or recovery.
Edit: Well that seems to have resolved itself now. After having the erecovery fail I wiped/factory reset and booted the phone into oreo 8.0.0.321 with all the apps and updater. Thanks to everyone who dropped in and I'll be getting emails if someone replies that needs help too. I'm not very knowledgeable but I can give it a shot.
