Hi guys, so, I've got the huawei Honor 8 and recently I updated it to android 7 nougat beta. I'm in Italy and here has already come out the official nougat update but the tutorial said that I had to downgrade to marshmallow first. I downloaded the update.app file and I put it in my sd card and rebooted in erecovery and flashed it, but it did the animation for like 1 and a half hour I rebooted it too but it was stuck. So I searched online and I found that I had to flash the rollback package first so I flashed it and here comes the problem: my phone is completly stucked in the "boot" mode and keeps restarting. I tried everything: flashed recovery, system, clust , boot I even tried to try to flash the marshmallow rom but it won't boot in erecovery mode, so I tried to flash again nougat but it does the same thing: no ERECOVERY!!!
So, what shoud I do?
bump please!

Go look on the MoDaco site.
There is a guy called Paul O'Brien who I think had something to do with Honor.
He claims that you can't brick or soft brick a Honor 8
I'm sure he will talk you through what ever you need to do

So after more or less randomly trying different things, and fearing that I might only have made matters worse, I hope someone can help:
I have got a Huawei Honor 6 H60-L04 (bootloader unlocked and rooted) and was, until two days ago, running KitKat with the B114 build and cwm recovery. Since Marshmallow has officially benn available for the Honor 6 for a while now, I decided to finally update.
I flashed stock recovery and updated to Marshmallow build B820 via update.app on sdcard. Booting worked fine, however I was unrooted (ofc) so I decided to flash SuperSU (2.76 [latest stable]).
So I flashed twrp 3.0.2.0. and so far all good. Still no problems booting. Then I flashed SuperSU (according to twrp successfully) and rebooted, just to find myself stuck on bootscreen. That is not the first one you get in bootloop but the animated honor logo. Well ****.
Since then I tried many things, wiped multiple times (data is unimportant, but unfortunately I don't have a working twrp backup, please don't lecture me on this, i know -.-), flashed almost any stock ROM I could get my hands on. In twrp I get this Error:
Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file". >"Error installing zip file". "Failed"​Somewhere on the way I got
error! Func NO : 9 (FUNC_BOOT_KERNEL) Error NO : 2​while booting, that's gone though.
I'm at the point now where I can install B820 via update.app on sdcard, see the installation progress succeed to 100%, reboot, and again, find myself stuck on animated honor logo.
I honestly have no idea what I can do, I hope someone here does. I'll happily provide any further information you might need.
Try and wipe everything, then reflash TWRP. Good luck ?

I did that, I lost count how many times. I wiped everything, clean twrp flash, still get the "meta-inf" error message. Maybe someone can provide me with a clean twrp backup for B820? that might actually work.
Ok, after making a fool of myself, I finally found the culprit. Turns out I have to wait a couple of minutes after a new installation for my phone to boot. And all the time I thought it was soft bricked -.-
However, I does get soft bricked whenever I try to flash SuperSU. Root = bricked. Unroot = unbricked. Anyone got an idea how to get SuperSU to work? I really don't want to go back to unrooted...
I used supersu 2.62 with MM.
After install i update supersu with Google play.
Supersu update itself the binary to 2.76.
It works with B820 ans now with B860.

Alrighty hey y'all! Just wanted to mention that I'm new to the XDA forums! Glad to be here! I have my honor 8 FRD-L04 here, and here is the problem I am facing... In EMUI 4.1 before the nougat update, I was rooted and had TWRP installed as my recovery. Then when I updated to EMUI 5 I downloaded the file via OTA, and then it took me into TWRP and installed it just fine. Now as usually, when I get OTA updates it always undoes my TWRP recovery and supersu root. So expecting this, I plugged my phone in, used the ADB fastboot and installed TWRP like usual, (following the guide on how to root honor 8 on XDA forums). Now, when going into recovery the phone just sits on Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.....(Other junk) Your device is now booting... and will never boot to TWRP. Doing alot of research on the internet (10 hours to be exact) I found a file that finally takes me into TWRP but I can not access my /data files, and it says error mounting /data, therefore I can not install super su, and it also says that my internal storage, sd card, etc is at 0mb...that can not be right. So I am a bit stuck, as of now I am going to attempt to rollback to EMUI 4.1, and if I am successful I will see if I can get TWRP to work again, but if it doesn't work I want to know why it's suddenly bugging out, and if it does work in 4.1 again, I'd like to figure out how to get it working in EMUI 5 because I like the new update! Cheers, and thank you all in advance

Thank you for your reply I have actually came across this article when doing my research, but it doesn't work properly for my particular phone and I don't know why. I guess I will stick with EMUI 4.1 and wait til EMUI 5 has official proper support.
Nougat seems to be working hard to block root on phones.
I have the same problem and would very much like to know what file made you able to enter twrp. Thanks
im on emui 5 with twrp 3.0.3-0, it will flash supersu, but will not root, i know its my version of twrp, but when i flash the new 3.1 version it wont boot

This worked for me. Thanks man!
I have bricked honor 8 ch version. Now it has nougat.
If there is anyone who can unbrick my phone, please help me.
I can boot recovery, erecovery, fastboot mode.
But I can't boot. My phone just reboot,reboot and reboot itself.
So I want original rom of this.
I tried to recover my phone through huwei multitool. But my phone don't boot emui yet.
Please give help me.
That's not an Honor 8 ROM for any model and there was no B377 release so far as I can tell. If you flashed it, that's probably why you can't boot.

I got B378 from hisuite in my FRD-L19. I still don't know why the number is different from the rest
I have been trying to revert to stock with no luck. What I want to do is install the latest update, but I can't because I had twrp installed. I flashed the original recovery. The problem is when I try to use eRecovery I get "Getting package info failed" error. when I try to download the b385 full update for the FRD-L04 I get a dead link. I was able to download the rollback package, but will I be able to get back to the latest version after I install the rollback package? when I try to use other update packages for my phone I get "Incompatibility with current version" error. Do I need to lock my bootloader in order to update? The good news is that my phone works fine, bad news is that I can't up date.
build number: FRD-L04C567B385
Thanks

Thanks for the link, I just been to heck and back with this phone. first I uninstalled Magisk. After that my phone wouldn't boot, it would just hang on the blue screen after the initial boot screen. I tried to find a stock boot Image for my version. Once I installed that my phone would boot loop so I managed to get into fastboot and flash TWRP. Once in TWRP I restored my B360 backup and got my phone working again. Then I flashed the stock recovery. Tried to boot into the stock recovery but that wouldn't load. Some how I got it to install the rollback package and now i'm at version B300. Good news is I'm back to stock and can boot int the stock recovery. Time to see if I can update to the latest version.
Edit I think I might have a problem. It won't let me update also it shows my phone as "FRD-L04C900" not "FRD-L04C567" is there any way I can fix this?

I think you will have to restore you oeminfo partition backup through twrp.
On mr FRD-L09, I had to relock my bootloader, then get the rollback package and put the .app on my SD card and hard flash it, then do the same with the rom .app file. Thet got me back to stock marshamllow, and I just let all the updates run through until I'm now on the latest.
Stock is missing some bits, and has some irritations, but the camera is sooo much better than custom roms, and GPS works, as does Android Pay etc. I've not bothered rooting, AdGuard does the ad-blocking and the rest is liveable.
Well I think I'm my phone is screwed. I can't boot into recovery and when it boots it bootloops once and then it is stuck on the "your device is unlocked and can't be trusted. Fastboot still works fine I can lock and unlock the bootloader. I can flash Recovery and TWRP in Fastboot but neither one will boot. I think I might have flashed the wrong update or it happened when I flashed the rollback package. I want to try DC Phoenix but they won't let me buy credits because my PayPal account is unverified. I have downloaded the "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific" from the hihonor.com site. I extracted it and flashed the recovery, boot, and system image through fastboot. The phone still won't boot into recovery or boot into the OS. Is there a way to fix this or is it time for a new phone.
Thank you everybody for your help.
Ok my phone is fixed. What I did was buy 15 credits for DC Phoenix and flashed the "Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific" package. When I rebooted my phone it automatically went into ERecovery and downloaded and installed the B162 update. I was able to fully boot after that It updated to B360 and then B388.
Thank you everybody for your help.

How did you flash the file you mentioned above? Did you put it on the SD card and used TWRP?
Also, what is so special about that file?
I have the L14 (64gb US version) and just about the same exact problem you describe.
If you have any extra steps that would help me recover mine that would be great.

Sorry for replying so late, hopefully you fixed your phone if not here is a link with some more information.

I followed the instuctions for the honor 7. I would recommend finding the full update firmware for your phone. It took me a lot of googling to find it. Make sure it is the correct firmware, you need to match the numbers before the B-- for me it was (FRD-L04C567) and for you it would be (FRD-L14????) I hope this helps.

After you flash the firmware, you must format data with emui recovery, and it will boot up
After trying different methods, this one works
Download
1 .Honor 8_FRD-L04_Rollback_Package_from_Android7.0 to Android 6.0_C900B300
2. Honor_8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android_6.0_EMUI-4.1_C567B122_United_States_Nonspecific
Put on dload (sd card) #1 after shutdown the phone and put on the folder dload (Sd card) #2. after reboot your phone starts with android 6.0
Try this

Ok so i had the exact problem, im not sure if this will help but what I did was flash my cust recovery system and boot through bootloader, I then put the dload folder on my sdcard with the update.app in it, from there I put my phone into download mode so hold all 3 buttons until it goes into download mode. Once there it will automatically install the update.app, and you should be good to go. If not than go to recovery mode do a factory reset and wipe the cache and see if that works.
Hello,
yesterday for some reason that i don't remember i rebooted my Honor 8 with halogenOS 7.1.2 and from then it started bootlooping. i've tried to flash every rom and wipe everything but nothing other than bootlooping.
i've read that i can resolve, unbrick, my device flashing the stock firmware, but i don't now the build that i need to download. my device is an frd-l09, and i think it's the italian (or european version) but not so shure. Thanks to all that replies
EDIT: i've tried i think 10 firmwares starting with frd-l09 including ones downloaded from the italian honor site, is my device maybe a different model ? but i now it's an frd-l09 cause it's written on the back.
Did you try formatting your phone over fastboot?
I remember that it helped with my LG G6 when I softbricked it.
