HONOR 6 H60-L02 (made in China) totally bricked

Hello,
i'm very disappointed about my phone (H60-L02) because he's bricked after an Huawei update (6.8.15).
I have wanted to reset the phone because i want to give this phone to my daughter.
I've gone to the settings menu to get an new initializie.
The phone has been reseted, but, after that, the phone restarts and stays on the Honor Bootlogo...
I've tried to do a new reset with the 3 buttons method. The first time, the recovery menu proposes me to format the phone. I did it. After hat, the phone reboots but, once again, he stays on the Honor bootlogo...
The difference now, is that the 3 buttons method doesn't works anymore. The menu is not available when i push the 3 buttons...
I can only do a Vol-/Power, wich starts the Fastboot mode. But this one is locked...
The problem is:
- I don't have the Product ID of my phone (because i've never wanted to root it)
- Huawei europe doesn't want to give me the Unlock code because he's made in China. And i have no answers from Huawei China.
What can i do? This phone is definitively out?
Somebody can help me?
(sorry for my poor english)

Well, you can get your id using the tool in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/bricked-honor-7-honor-6-id-t3468333/page1
One user already used it to generate device id for H60-L02 so the id you get is definitely the one you have to use online to get the code.
You can use English website to get the unlock code, if that somehow does not work (many users reported captcha problem), try to search for a way to unlock using Chinese site of huawei.
There are a couple of tutorials here on XDA about how to use Chinese site but can't find them atm.
Hope this helps.

Guess I am too late with this info... I wish I had given this info when it was really needed
A request to XDA members....
Download it and distribute it as you wish as it's not my work and I can take no credit for it but it's a handy tool and more people should know about it.
The phone we are talking about was revivable but the person did not have this info. It kind of feels bad so please distribute this in other forums and threads.
Just download and you can attach it wherever it is needed.

FRD-AL00 without OEM Unlock option?

Just got a FRD-AL00, whoever there is no OEM Unlock option in the developer menu. What does this means?
I'm still waiting for my Huawei codes since I don't have the phone registered to the Huawei ID in more than 14 days. So I don't know if the bootloader unlock will work without that option.

I also just got this phone and there is no 'oem unlock ' option in developer settings.. Anyone know what the deal is here?

I dont have the OEM Unlock option either. Same case.. I have the honor 8 frd-al00, but my chinese version is already updated to android 7 y emui 5.
All the honor 8 tutorials require that this option should be enable.
So.. what we can do? how we can solve this? I already receive my code for the unlock.
I want to root and debrand the frd-al00 to the international version al09, mentioned here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
But without this option I cant do it.

Not very good idea...
Phone get unstable in short time with this rebrand made... After watch video or photos in short time applications stop to run...
It will not work good, i had this experience and after all had to go back to AL00...
And it was not only me, on 4pda.ru forum a lot of such cases, so better think twice...

I already have the code as I mention.. but not sure what are you saying.. this mean that even without enabling that option i can make the unlock? but not sure if something bad may happen if the OEM unlock option in disable, and like I said.. that option it does not appear in the development menu, I can find the debugging usb option, but not the other. Some al00 has this OEM unlock option, but not all, maybe depends on the update I get.. my phone auto update to emui 5.0 and android 7.

you did the same steps that the link guide I quote?
If rebrand is not an option.. then my other options are not good either, because I read that all mods had reboot issues and some other problems.. they dont have the camera apps either, just a basic picture app who does not take a good advantage of double lens system.
So.. what we can do if we have the al00? I just want to use voice search commands (not chinese commands).

Is any way to debrand without the emui 4.1, I have emui 5.0, my honor 8 is frd-al00, I cant find the rollback file for emui 4.. I find one for frd-al09 from 5 to 4.1, but that is the european version..
I have the bootloader code, but I can not activate the oem unlock option because it does not appear in my development tools, you told me that I have to go back to 4.1, but I have no idea how to do that.. or when I can find the file to do it..
Any advice.. ? What happen if I use the rollback file for the frd-al09?

u can use Hisuit to go back to EMUI 4.1.
Or may try go to fastboot, unlock bootloader in fastboot? Maybe it work. Shutdown Honor, hold volume down + connect ur device to PC via USB cable. Then u try to unlock, if not, the only way is EMUI 4.1.

I was able to rollback to 4.1 with hisuite, and I manage to unlock bootloader and install twrp.
I made a backup of all my files, then download the frd-al09432b131, (my phone is frd-al00 which also has 4gb - 32gb), I unzip the firmware and I place it in the ssd card under the folder dload. (not sure if only the update.app file should be in it, or also the other folders like meta-inf and oeminfo, I try with both).
Then from the twrp I did a format data and I wipe data once. Then I shutdown the phone.
press volume up +down+ power until the update starts to run..
But..
At 5%, a alert come up saying:
------------------
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
(reboot system now)
------------------
But well, I dint reach so far to resign now.. I am downloading a new firmware from the honor site:
Honor 8 Firmware(FRD-L09, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B131, United Kingdom)
I hope this work... or I may be doing something wrong?
Edit: still happen with the new firmware that I download, not sure what to do.. I need supersu for this?

Huawei 8 FRD-AL10 boots to eRecovery

I recently purchased my Huawei 8 FRD-AL10 on Gearbest and it came with nougat installed with all languages available. Firmware seemed to be very clean, no chinese applications, only some games that I easily unninstalled.
I used the phone for a few days until an update appeared on my phone. I don't recall the exact name of the update, other than it required a 2.41 GB download. The update was left to run on its own, with plenty of battery still left on the phone.
When I came back to check the phone it was sitting on Huawei eRecovery. Rebooted the phone but it always seems to get back to eRecovery no matter what I do.
If i restart the phone by pressing POWER and VOL + and choose the option to recover to factory defaults, it will do its thing all the way to 100%. Once I restart the phone it will always go back to eRecovery.
I reached Huawei by phone and they claim the support is out of coverage as the phone is designed for the chinese market.
Is there a way to recover the phone?

I loaded the stock android 6 rom marshmallow for FRD-AL10 available on the forum onto an SD card.
Inserted the SD card on the phone and pressed both volume (VOL + and VOL-) and POWER buttons, to force the upgrade. It then eventually fails with the following error message "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package!"
Removed the SD card and booted the phone and connected the usb cable and a prompt came up to install a device named HUAWEI L19.
How can this be? Why is my phone being detected as a FRD-L19?

My friend has the same exact problem that you are writing here about. Could you send me the link you have to android 6.0 you found for the FRD-AL10. I will search around and get back to you.

If it's as I think it is, you need to rebrand your phone to AL10 or use MM of L19

Hi, I'm not sure about waht u write. So, your bootlader was locked or no? You already install firmware? Because is better to finding fw on original/Honor source. Can u post a link from whitch u download firmware? Here is many ways but waht is your issue, phone was renamed to FRD-L19...?

To make it simple. Long story short, bought phone from gearbest, you can check the details here. Phone is an FRD-AL10 intended for chinese market and officially comes with chinese/english, but as you can see on gearbest its "unlocked for european use" and they upgraded to nougat added extra languages to the phone before they shipped it to me . They unlocked the phone and debranded it to its european counterpart (honor 8 FRD-L19) which has very similar hardware.
Phone arrived to me with broken seal, and sure enough it had all the languages and emui 5.0 (which is not stock version) installed on it.
In regards to the stock firmware for AL10 I was able to find it here

That makes sense. If I load the AL10 firmware it show an error message because the info on the phone is for model L19.
Any guides on how to do it? It might be also useful for other users in the same situation as me.

FRD-L19 its the european version of Honor 8.
FRD-AL00 >>> China version (?) (32 GB)
FRD-AL10 >>> China version with 4GB Ram + 64 GB Rom
FRD-AL09 >>> EU version 32 GB
FRD-AL19 >>> EU version 64 GB
FRD-AL04 >>> US version 32 GB
FRD-AL14 >>> US version 64 GB

The box came with broken seal, that's correct. When I first turned on the phone for initial setup I noticed that it included ALL languages available but the phone should come stock with English and Chinese ONLY.
It came with emui 5 (android 7) installed BUT the latest stock official rom for this model (AL10) is emui 4 (android 6). Only european models have emui 5 available.
So, to my understanding, the phone did not come stock from factory with nougat, they changed it to make it "european" before sending it to me. This explains why the box seal was broken. Please check gearbest listing details for my phone here.

They should be ashamed from their selves

They are not, unfortunately! I have a ticket raised with them and they are denying the whole thing even when I told them straight that the stock emui 4 (android 6) that comes factory stock with this model (FRD-AL10 chinese model) does not have all languages as they advertise.on their site. Only non-chinese versions of honor 8 do come with all languages and emui 5.
Also they are avoiding answer the question on how emui 5 came installed on the phone when the listing says emui 4.

Ah, I am shocked right now

Anyone else that might bought the phone on gearbest that would like to share their story and how you have overcome the issue?

I am afraid that if i ship it back to them, through their service, they will come up with an excuse, that I broke the phone in the first place, since they already have the phone and my money on their side. The real problem is that I have now trust faith on their service!

This is what worked for me:
I could not access my phone or even boot into Android to get the Product ID to get the UNlock code for the bootloader etc.
1. Initially my phone was in a boot-loop where it stops at the Huawei eRecovery screen and would not download or update via WiFi.
2. So the 1st step was to download a rollback package for my specific model - FRD-AL10. Then I used the "dload" method (SD Card > "dload" folder, Pwr+Vol UP+ Vol Down) to apply the rollback from whatever it was to FRD-AL10...B135. Succeeded perfectly.
3. Then I downloaded the stock firmware for FRD-AL10, Chinese model, non-specific and again used used the "dload" method to flash the stock firmware to the phone. Succeeded perfectly.
4. The phone rebooted to a 'out-of-the-box' first start-up screen prompting me to select the the Region. Thereafter the Language, WiFi, Agreement, etc and then started looping again to where it went back to the "Selection" screens > Region, Language, WiFi, Agreement, etc. > loop again back to Region, Language, etc.
5. I flashed the firmware again using the "dload" method with the same result.
Note: All other posts suggested I had to 'unlock' the bootloader, root the phone, etc. Unfortunately I did not have access to Android on the phone to get the Product ID, to get the UNlock code, etc. This is where I got stuck. I used different tools, but none would work as the bootloader / phone was LOCKED & the phone UNrooted, FRP was locked.
6. Then I used "Huawei DC Unlocker". I had to buy credits first - 15 Euros. Then used "Huawei DC Unlocker" to essentially "UNLOCK" the phone, it did not "UNLOCK" the bootloader, but it did something to the "FRP" locked issue.
7. I restarted the phone in "SAFE" mode. I was again presented with the "Selection" screens > Region, Language, etc, BUT this time the phone booted into Android.
8. Rebooted the phone in "Normal" mode and it booted into Android. NOW I had access to the dial-pad and could now get access to "Developer" options like USB debugging, get the Product ID of the phone to get the UNLOCK code from Huawei, etc.
9. Once I had all the information I needed, I then 'unlocked' the bootloader by following the instructions from Huawei's website using "fastboot.exe" etc.
10. I then followed 'debranding' instructions from posts elsewhere on XDA to convert the phone from FRD-AL10 to FRD-L09/L19 firmware. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/help-honor-8-chinese-t3489773/page3)
I hope this information will help someone.

eRecovery broken?

Hi Guys
Maybe one of you can help me. I unlocked the bootloader flashed twrp and my phone get in trouble with self reboots every 10 minutes. So i flashed the Stock Recovery back and relock the bootloader. Now i can't make a factory reset in recovery. Every time when i boot in recovery i land in eRecovery and get screen on the picture, when i try the first option for download latest version and recovery it doesn't. The phone connect to my WIFI but thats all. The error is Getting package info failded! So what can i do to solve this :fingers-crossed::good:

eRecovery works for China firmware only, MHA-AL00

Thread can be deleted by a MOD problem is solved THX :good:

I flashed the C432B186 with HWOTA methode. First i Unlock the bootloader in adb, let low factory reset running, after the reboot i boot in bootloader again and start the HWOTA tool and let install the TWRP, then i unplugged my phone and boot in TWRP and choose "Swipe for Modification" (that is nowhere mentioned, because when you choose "Keep read Only" it will failed, at least on my phone, don't know whether it fail on every phone), then i plugged the phone in again and did the steps that HWOTA tool shows me and it works perfect. After the first boot up i boot in Recovery with adb command and the option for factoy reset in eRecovery is back :good:

I just was able to use eRecovery to go back to stock (and upgrade from B180 to B190 on USA model MHA-L29C567).... so it did work for me.

I had the same problem. Actually it can be solved quite easily. reboot the system with a United States SIM card insert, then shutdown the system, enter eRecovery again, now everything works as perfect as before. I think Huawei judge your location by the SIM card you use.

As far as i know you need a unlock code, but Huawei didn't give any code since 1 or 2 month. On the other hand i sold my Mate 9 a couple of days after the Problem was solved :good:

How do I reinstall EMUI on Honor 8?

I formated the data on my mobile and everything was removed, but when I try to install the EMUI "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L19_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_Western Europe" update, then I get the message "Software install failed". So, how do I install EMUI again on my mobile? Custom Roms are removing basically everything which makes Honor 8 such a good device.
Thanks and I hope someone can help me

Have the same problem with Honor 8 pro, after downoading new firmware the instalation stoped around 80% of progress. After that only welcome logo of honor is visible, phone cannot be turned off, if i press power button, it only restart itself. I can get to screen with choice of dowload newest version, reboot and recovery and the last choice is shut down. But when i try to download again the firmware, it again writes me the same message about fail...now i cant use my phone. Do you guys have any suggestion? I don´t remember the firmware version (it ended with 185) and it was for Czech republic.
Thank you
Jan

Me too, which address did you use?

I apparently used the wrong firmware. There are 2 different firmwares for the Honor 8 L-19 device. Here is the link to the firmwares: http://www.hihonor.com/de/support/search-result/index.html?keywords=honor 8
