So I've been running into problems every step of my rooting process. First I couldn't get fastboot to recognize my device [solved], then I couldn't boot into TWRP [solved], then I couldn't use my phone as a storage device in windows [solved]. Now that I've finally installed SuperSu from TWRP, I soft bricked my device. Booting just hangs on the Honor logo. What can I do to fix this? I don't have a micro sd card, so I can't put another rom on my device AFAIK. I can still boot into TWRP, but wiping didn't fix anything and I'm out of ideas.
When my phone was last working it said it was GEM-703L B211
EDIT: So I've taken some extra steps. I went out and bought an SD card. I've tried installing KangVIP Slim B211, B112 Rooted With GAPPS (1.3gb), and B112 Rooted Debloated With GAPPS (968mb), respectively. Obviously I did a factory reset before each attempt, but I'm still hanging on boot. After installing KangVIP, it switched to the fancy Huawei logo, but still hung. Then when going back to the other roms, it switched back to Honor, but it still hangs. After a few boot loops now, it goes straight into TWRP.
I've been at this all night now. I just wanted to get rid of all the Chinese characters on my phone, and now I have no phone. Any help would be super appreciated. :/
Have you waited up to 50 minutes, after wipe dalvic? It takes about 40 minutes on honor screen on my device on first boot.
My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86

It goes straight to TWRP after about 1 minute of looping. I'm going to try the back to stockrom recovery guide and come back with my results.
EDIT: It worked! I got back to the stock firmware.

When you plug your phone into your pc, slide the notifications slider down and note the "usb connection" there. You have to tap files to enable mass storage on your pc. I don't know why it's set up that way, but it fixed it for me.

Hey everyone.So,today i wanted to root my Huawei Y5 because of a sound problem and it all went well (Rooted with KingRoot)...Here is the problem...After a restart my phone went straight into recovery,i connected it to pc asap to use adb but it won”t detect the phone I can”t find any newer firmwares on the internet and the other dload.app simply don”t work because i have a newer build (Tue Nov 24 22:57:09 CST 2015).Also i have to mention that bootloader is still locked.Could someone kindly help me? (Sorry for my bad English)
how did you manage to root without unlocking bootloader? and by the way, try clearing cache and dalvik cache

I just installed KingRoot and it rooted...Everything was fine then i restarted to see if root is permanent or not..I restarted and all my phone does is go straight into recovery and nothing else...I can only use ADB Sideload by pressing on ''apply update from adb''... I also clicked on ''reboot to bootloader'',it restarts and puts me into Huawei Logo and it just stay's there (Phone won't appear in adb,but it shows on device manager).I also tried to install the stock firmware but it say's that my actual version is newer than old one (a update came 1 week ago on my phone,in options).
All i wanted to do is install xposed to remove the volume too high warn when inserting headphones because it would bug on 50% and the warn would dissapear and wouldn't show again. (Tried to delete dalvik and cache and still the same)
rebooting to bootloader boots your device into Fastboot mode. it is normal that only the huawei logo shows up there! Just force reboot it!
Hi.
I installed some dodgy app which required root access to operate (but it didn't even though I allowed it in SuperSu) and this is where my problems started.
First of all, I noticed each and every app I tried to run would immediately crash. That included system apps, such as the Settings app. At that stage I was left with only the launcher working and attempts to uninstall apps would also cause a crash. Even the shutdown menu was broken and the phone hung up so I was forced to reboot it by holding the power button for 10 seconds.
After that, the phone would no longer be able to boot, it was stuck in a boot loop, but recovery still worked (TWRP for that matter) so firstly I wiped the cache partitions (including dalvik cache) but that didn't help, as the phone still wouldn't boot. In this case there was only one thing left for me to try and that was the factory reset capability of TWRP which claimed to not even touch internal storage so I was fine with that and did the wipe.
Thankfully, the phone booted afterwards and it welcomed me with the first startup guide (the language selection dialog was really buggy but that's Huawei's fault) and the phone was seemingly ok, except that the whole internal storage had been wiped out but not only that - the external microsd card was empty as well! Could you believe that? I couldn't. TWRP promised not to touch internal storage and the external memory card wasn't even mentioned but why would it wipe it anyway?
That's for the story behind it, now for the actual problems I'm facing right now:
The stock remote app is gone
The boot animation has changed to a different one (now it's a silver "android" logo instead of the "honor" logo)
Battery usage stats are not available (see: http://i.cubeupload.com/BXCknW.png)
Sound quality from the built-in speaker seems noticeably worse
Hereby, I'm asking you guys to help me out with all of this.
The "remote app missing" problem could be solved by someone sharing their apk file with me, that's probably the simplest one to fix.
As for the boot animation, I have no clue as I don't even know what files are responsible for that.
The same for the battery stats problem, I'm already through a couple of full-charge-to-discharge cycles as well as wiping the cache partition, but the problem remains.
The sound quality probably has to do with the DTS sound enhancer. The config file for that is either "/cust/unicom/cn/xml/dolby_config.xml" or "/cust/unicomelectric/cn/xml/dolby_config.xml" and I'm asking you to upload these files somewhere so I can compare them with mine to see if anything is different.
The device I'm using is the H60-L02 variant running the B532 ROM.
Does the 3 buttons method erase internal storage as well? I've already set up quite some apps and having to do it again wouldn't be the most pleasant surprise. But at least in this case I could make some backups and whatnot...
Also, would it work if I flashed B535 straight away or does the 3 buttons method expect the same version which is already installed, in this case B532?

It will wipe internal storage. You can flash any *full* ROM as long as you're not moving up or down from kitkat-lolipop/marshmallow.

Okay, so I decided I'd do the whole thing today. I downloaded the full B535 ROM on my PC, backed up all the stuff I care about from the phone to the PC as well, and also I downloaded the MultiTool.
Though the MultiTool thread says this in bold red:
VirusPlus said:
EMUI 3.1 WARNING! Update over rooted or system modded in EMUI 3.1 gives a BRICK.
You have to restore system and REMOVE root before every update in EMUI 3.1 for now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I also fired up Titanium Backup in order to defrost all the frozen apps, which went fine, and then I wanted to unroot the phone but I've been unable to do so so far.
To unroot, I launch the SuperSU app, navigate to the "Settings" tab and select "Full unroot". The problem being, it just gets stuck on the screen saying "Uninstalling, please wait...". I don't know how long it usually takes to complete, so far I've waited for maybe 10 minutes and nothing seems to change. Should I care about that? Is that warning about updating rooted/modified EMUI 3.1 resulting in a brick still true?
Can I skip this step and just flash the stock recovery followed by the 3 buttons method?
EDIT:
After some trial and error with the multi tool and different recoveries, I was able to finally unroot. Next, I flashed the stock recovery for B532 and attempted to do the 3 buttons method, but it would say "Install failed. The update package does not exist" (could be because I'm doing the update from a USB flash drive as I don't have an micro sd card big enough to fit the package). So I rebooted the phone into system and used the Updater to perfrom a local update where it would let me pick the USB drive. It completed without errors and then rebooted into some kind of updater (black background and some bluish emui colors) where it also took some time to finish thankfully successfully. I can right now see the phone booting and for what it's worth, the boot animation is once again the good old "honor" logo and not that ugly silvery "android" one
And now it's "Optimizing system...". I really hope it finsishes successfully as it's already a bit late here and I wouldn't like the phone to be unusable tomorrow :laugh:
36% ready...
46% it's kind of fun to watch this, and now 49%
I'd like to thank @pudup once more for helping out, I'm not really that much into flashing recoveries, roms and all that myself. Without your help I would probably be too scared to try doing something on my own :crying:
86%, 89%, 95% and 100%. Aww, what a relief Good old stock lock screen and wallpaper.
Hello, I need serious help with my phone.
So, after a long while of having my phone rooted, and had a case of boot loop with twrp, I decided to go back to stock os and hung up the root days. I thought i did it right by getting a stock os and flashed it, and it worked for couple months, until yesterday.
My phone keeps going into Cyanogen Recovery, I tried rebooting so many times, once it did boot up to OS, but it went back after i restarted phone or it died.
Now I can't no longer get back, I thought factory resetting will work but it didn't. (Tried both wipe cache partition and Full factory reset option from the recovery) I found unroot your phone toolkits, thinking it could help fix my problem and just unroot/ give me back to OS (I wished i found this before flashing that custom stock rom).
But the toolkit doesn't work for me, it finds adb devices, but it cant find fast boot devices, because my phone cant even go into fast boot.
I tried manual, and the option from the recovery, it keeps going back to recovery. I have an option for apply update, and then apply from ADB, that was the only way for my pc to recognize my phone from adb devices. Any clues on how to fix?

Will try, Ill respond back if anything happens!
Hmm I'm still having trouble because, I can't get into fast boot for some reason. It's keep going back to Cyanogen recovery. It has the option to reload into bootloader, but goes into cyanogen recovery again.
There is an option in dev options, uncheck the "update cyanogen recovery" and flash twrp again

i was trying to dload mm firmware. The firmware dloaded fine but after factory reset and reboot, the fone is jus staying on honor screen after 3d text. i tried to go in erecovery but cannot, fone jus vibrates twice and then after 3d honor text, it stays on blue honor screen forever.
i tried to boot in fastboot as well as dload.....same thing happend not booting in fastboot or dload.
only 3d text and blue screen.
now fone doesnt even turns on if power button pressed ,but juss vibrates twice and blue screen after 3d text.
Leave your device as it is so that the battery is fully drained and is powered off. Then plug your device to charger for 5 minutes. Unplug it and now try to boot to recovery.
Hold the power button and volume up button until you hear the first vibration and screen goes on. Leave both buttons. Now you can go to recovery. Perform a full factory reset. Then power off your device and move the dload package to your external SD card. Repeat the same process but this time hold both volume buttons and power button.

thankyou bro for ur suggestion...i already tried all tht but no luck.
the fone turns on everytime whatever i try to do....only 3d text and it is stuck on blue honor screen.
no recovery dload fastboot etc.
Hi. Sorry the revive.
Could you solve this? I'm in the same situation
No unlock, can't enter to recovery, can't enter to erecovery so I can't flash with dload, fastboot is a joke if the phone has locked bootloader so I can't reflash the recoveries.

Hi everyone!
First, sorry reviving the threadm but this one is similar to my trouble.
Second, every flash process was done with dload method and vol + - and power combination.
Third, I never unlock my phone before or flashed any custom rom or recovery, everything was stock.
Last night, I tried to rollback my honor 8 frd-al19 to emui 6.0 with proper rollback package and firmware for Android 6.0 (both official and for my model), but phone went into boot lock. It isn't boot loop, It's stuck on the Honor blue logo. I can't even turn off the phone.
I did this procedure once before with success. I was on fdr-al19c432b360 firmware 100% functional (I was an idiot to rollback again when not needed at all... I know). I applied the rollback package correctly, and then I did a mistake and flashed full c636b131 Android 6.0 firmware instead of c432b131 Android 6.0.
Phone started ok with everything working. But I noticed my bad (emui didn't find any update package from OTA, and noticed the error in version model shown) and reflashed rollback package... At this point is where I think I messed up the recoveries or something. When ended the flashing process, I copied the correct firmware (the c432b131 android 6) on dload folder and tried again to flash.... but this time phone never entered on erecovery nor recovery. Only thing I get is stuck honor blue screen. It refuses to enter on recovery or erecovery. It just reboots, vibrate twice and keeps stuck after that on honor screen.
Strange thing, is that I did this procedure once before some months ago with success, but that time I didn't make the mistake with the versions.
After panic, I tried to boot in fastboot connected to my pc, and HiSuite knows there is something connected, because it launches it self, but don't recognize the phone and says it can't be recovered. Also, Adb don't see the phone either, only fastboot.
With fastboot commands I tried to reboot into recovery and nothing happened. Then wipe cache/user data, reflash stock recovery. Everything failed with message "remote: not allowed". And of course, because I never unlocked my bootloader. Fastboot says phone locked, frp locked (was frp, don't remember now exactly).
Then, I read about to let the battery die. I did. That didn't work either, phone keeps stuck on honor blue logo.
I downloaded multitool for huawei software, and everything requires an unlocked bootloader to recover.
Then, I tried to get unlock code, but huawei site ask me product id which I can't get because phone is bricked (I have all other data, imei, serial, etc.) . Tried with id generator too, and nothing what I tried have work so far. It's frustrating.
I'm pretty hopeless now, no unlock, no recovery, no erecovery, so I can't flash anything on the damn phone to try to recover it.
Can I save my phone or is it just an expensive brick? Any help will be REALLY welcome.

Well, is a bit silly to answer yourself but this can help someone else:
I did purchase a license of 3 days of dc phoenix software and force updated version android 6.0 c432B131 on my honor 8 fdr L19.
It flashed ok, but software said that couldn't install update. On phone went to 99% for long time (more than 1 hour).
So I looking for some info, and also the software said that I had to manually update. I just copied the same rom with dload method: just the same UPDATE.APP on the folder, and tried the 3 buttons: It worked!
After a success bootup, it found inmediatelly (OTA) the update to android 7, c432b360 firmware and downloaded and installed.
Here went something strange: after updated again via OTA, everything was working ok, but on about phone, the version shown wasn't the c432b360. Instead it said something about test keys build. Just for being safe, I tried to full reset the phone and... it failed. It said failed on erecovery menu, and after that, the next boot up I couldn't pass over wifi setting menu: keyboard was missing and it just tried to talk to text input. Another panic moment, so I tried to enter on recovery to clear cache and reset user with no luck. After that, phone refused to start showing an error message on fastboot screen: "phone couldn't pass verification, it may not function properly".
What to do? just do all the things again, but just with dload method. As I was on android 7, first I installed downgrade package. Ok, it did well. After, installed again c432b131 (android 6). And finally success!.
Once again, phone ask for install OTA android 7 and I let it. Now, I just didn't tried to do a factory reset and so far is ok.... but it hasn't AOSP Android keyboard anymore. So far is working ok, everything is working: wifi, phone, 4g mobile internet, nfc, sensors, apps, gps, compass... so I'm pretty happy now, but not sure what happened when I tried to factory reset and what happened to AOSP Android keyboard.

A late answer but maybe useful for some
Because the OTA showed up, was not a full OTA file. I guess it was only 1.3 gb something. It was a test build and didnt have any apks inside including the keyboard. And also not a stable one (test build) So it is always better to download FULL package from the menu and flash that one.
Hey,
I need some help with this problem. I have a frd lo4 on nougat. I tried to return to stock from being rooted. The dLoad folder method wasn’t working (returned invalid package) so I unrooted via the SU app, flashed stock recovery, and went into fastboot and relocked the bootloader with the code.
Now it won’t boot or shut off. Just a bootloop showing the blue screen. I could use to access fastboot before but now my pc doesn’t detect my phone. I’ve tried different ports and pc’s. I can’t access recovery either.
Any help is appreciated
EDIT: I let the battery die, then tried going into fastboot mode and it worked. I flashed the stock recovery 1 and 2. I then used the correct rollback package and put it on my sd card then flashed. I then downloaded the full 6.0 firmware and did the same. Now I’m unrooted, locked bootloader, and stock.
Hope this helps someone.
Excatly the same thing happened to me 1 week ago.. My phone was going on bott loop in recovery mode.. I tried Dload method and recovery but nothing happened.. atlast i let the battery die. After the battery is completly dead i connexted the charger and hola the adb is working now. Then i flashed correct recovery and rom. Ecerything is working fine now.

After a success bootup, it found inmediatelly (OTA) the update to android 7, c432b360 firmware and downloaded and installed.
Here went something strange: after updated again via OTA, everything was working ok, but on about phone, the version shown wasn't the c432b360. Instead it said something about test keys build. Just for being safe, I tried to full reset the phone and... it failed. It said failed on erecovery menu, and after that, the next boot up I couldn't pass over wifi setting menu: keyboard was missing and it just tried to talk to text input. Another panic moment, so I tried to enter on recovery to clear cache and reset user with no luck. After that, phone refused to start showing an error message on fastboot screen: "phone couldn't pass verification, it may not function properly".
What to do? just do all the things again, but just with dload method. As I was on android 7, first I installed downgrade package. Ok, it did well. After, installed again c432b131 (android 6). And finally success!.
Once again, phone ask for install OTA android 7 and I let it. Now, I just didn't tried to do a factory reset and so far is ok.... but it hasn't AOSP Android keyboard anymore. So far is working ok, everything is working: wifi, phone, 4g mobile internet, nfc, sensors, apps, gps, compass... so I'm pretty happy now, but not sure what happened when I tried to factory reset and what happened to AOSP Android keyboard.

Hi everyone!
First, sorry reviving the threadm but this one is similar to my trouble.
Second, every flash process was done with dload method and vol + - and power combination.
Third, I never unlock my phone before or flashed any custom rom or recovery, everything was stock.
Last night, I tried to rollback my honor 8 frd-al19 to emui 6.0 with proper rollback package and firmware for Android 6.0 (both official and for my model), but phone went into boot lock. It isn't boot loop, It's stuck on the Honor blue logo. I can't even turn off the phone.
I did this procedure once before with success. I was on fdr-al19c432b360 firmware 100% functional (I was an idiot to rollback again when not needed at all... I know). I applied the rollback package correctly, and then I did a mistake and flashed full c636b131 Android 6.0 firmware instead of c432b131 Android 6.0.
Phone started ok with everything working. But I noticed my bad (emui didn't find any update package from OTA, and noticed the error in version model shown) and reflashed rollback package... At this point is where I think I messed up the recoveries or something. When ended the flashing process, I copied the correct firmware (the c432b131 android 6) on dload folder and tried again to flash.... but this time phone never entered on erecovery nor recovery. Only thing I get is stuck honor blue screen. It refuses to enter on recovery or erecovery. It just reboots, vibrate twice and keeps stuck after that on honor screen.
Strange thing, is that I did this procedure once before some months ago with success, but that time I didn't make the mistake with the versions.
After panic, I tried to boot in fastboot connected to my pc, and HiSuite knows there is something connected, because it launches it self, but don't recognize the phone and says it can't be recovered. Also, Adb don't see the phone either, only fastboot.
With fastboot commands I tried to reboot into recovery and nothing happened. Then wipe cache/user data, reflash stock recovery. Everything failed with message "remote: not allowed". And of course, because I never unlocked my bootloader. Fastboot says phone locked, frp locked (was frp, don't remember now exactly).
Then, I read about to let the battery die. I did. That didn't work either, phone keeps stuck on honor blue logo.
I downloaded multitool for huawei software, and everything requires an unlocked bootloader to recover.
Then, I tried to get unlock code, but huawei site ask me product id which I can't get because phone is bricked (I have all other data, imei, serial, etc.) . Tried with id generator too, and nothing what I tried have work so far. It's frustrating.
I'm pretty hopeless now, no unlock, no recovery, no erecovery, so I can't flash anything on the damn phone to try to recover it.
Can I save my phone or is it just an expensive brick? Any help will be REALLY welcome.
