Honor 8 Bricked

Hello everyone,
I'm actually in front of a big problem. I try this night to upgrade from FRD-L09C432B120 to FRD-L09C432B316. Since I try it, my phone stay on a Warning screen and i can't do anything. (Just try to shut down by a long press on power button and it make a reboot and it's the same for every key combination).
I can't go in Recovery or eRecovery. The only things that works is the fastboot mode. I try to flash the stock firmware after an extract of "UPDATE.APP" but the system image give me an error. I also try to put UPDATE.APP on the SD Card but I can't access to the update mode (by press vol+ , vol- and power button). I think that i've try all the ideas that i've fund on internet !
I've no more ideas. Do you think that is possible to unbrick it ?
Thanks to your help and your reply.

So it's a failure . which mean that it is a semi flashed update . which doesn't installed update.app .
Extract update.app from ota and put it in dload folder .later flash it manually using dload method .
He should follow this way to overcome those reboots

HONOR 8 Bricked
Hello ,
It happened on my FRD-L04, but I think is the same.
Bootloader is unlocked ?
1. Do you have all drivers installed ? OK
2.Do you have STOCK ROM ? OK. If not, use Huawei Firmare Finder to find suitable ROM. Be aware what you choose !!!
3. Unzipp (WinRar) the ROM.
4.Download and install Huawei Update Extractor. Run Huawei Update Extractor . Choose Update.app from the folder you unzipped the ROM.
5. Select cust.img , boot.img , recovery.img and system.img and extract them on a folder.
6.. Install MultiTool by Team (Multi Tool Team). The instalation will make a folder named UNBRICK.
7. Move the files extracted : cust.img , boot.img , recovery.img and system.img on the folder UNBRICK
8. Run MultiTool . Choose option 6 (unbrick) and after that choose option 2 ( if you already have files on folder UNBRICK)
9. Let the tool finish the job.
NOTE : You must have all drivers installed and the phone in FASTBOOT mode ( turn phone OFF - Press VOL- and insert USB cable simultaneously.)
Good luck !

Hi, thanks everyone for your reply.
Unfortunatly, the dload method seems not work. I think that to run this method, i need to press simultaneously vol+, vol- and the power button to run it, right ?
If it's like that, the method doesn't work anymore.
I will try the process given by technoguy09 and I said to you if it's ok !

So, after many try, every method that i try doesn't work.
Even the Unbrick method doesn't work because the system and cust report an error.
For the cust, i have "partition error" and for the system I have the "sparse flash write failure". Can we correct this error ?

The bootloader is unlock and TWRP was install but now I can't access it. I try to restore stock recovery and it's the same result.

Can fastboot detect your phone?

Yes, fastboot is detect, I can launch some command (fastboot devices display my phone, flash etc) everything work but flash recovery didn't change anything and flash system response an error (sparse flash write failure).

From what you said, looks like it is reallt bricked. Service center is your friend.

I think too... I hope that there will be no problem with service center because of the phone is unclocked !
I was never had this kind of problem with my previous android phone. I'm really bad ^^
Thanks for all everybody.

Dont worry, Honor 8 phones are nearly unbrickable.
Take your B120 ROM extract recovery, cust and boot partitions. (use huawei update extractor)
Flash Them via fastboot (adb) then force the dload method via the 3 buttons combo.
I had all the problems you described and restored my phone as new. (even the "sparse flash write failure" error)
Now i'm on EMUI 5 rooted, no problem

Honor 8 total brick !

Hello guys !
First of all, thank you to you all for all the help i've already found on the forum.
I've got an Honor 8, and I tried to flash it for solving battery drain.
After several attempts and almost get there, now the phone is totally bricked.
Here some useful information:
- Bootloader in unlocked
- When in fastboot mode, Fastboot recognize my device but not ADB. I tried installing several drivers but nothing
- Flashing different recovery from fastboot don't work. I mean, it works but the device don't enter in recovery mode ( stuck in Your device is booting now....)
When try to install an update.app from stock recovery, i get error, both unable to find the package and unable to verify the package content.
When first I wasable to get in TWRP, when trying flashing a rom, it alwayg gaves me error like UNABLE TO MOUNT /DATA or /CACHE.
I think I really messed up with partitions and now everything seems doesn't be able to get into the phone.
I started yesterday, still here....
I guess dozens of users encountered same problems, I've tried everythinh from the forum but nothing worked....
Someone has any idea ? Cause my girlfriend will soon kill me.....

Yeah, even with volume up and power. It stuck on boot.
I've tried the most common fix, tried several twrp and rom. Same for update from SD, tried everything, différents rom, rollback....

Nothing...

What happens when you hold +/-/off,on together?

It starts in automatic update mode. When trying to connect to WI-FI and download, an error message appear, seems unable to found the update.
When trying to update from SD, several update.app has failed.
When trying to clean all data from Emui recovery mode, the first 2 attempt stops at 7%, the third stops at 99%. Every time i have tried...
I really think is a partition issues, something that don' let the firmware recognize the phone and get the update

Yeah the rollback package revives any brick. I've been through it all once and this will fix any mess so find a way to flash it.
By the way to access recovery you need to have your phone not plugged to USB (that's the bit i was missing for a long time) With your phone completely off (you can turn it off from the eRecovery (vol+ vol- power) ) hold vol+ & power and when the phone vibrates let go off the power and just hold vol+
http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92131 and then flash B131 fw
http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92101
if you can't get into recovery use huawei firmware extractor and get a recovery.img from one of those firmware packages and flash it via fastboot mode.

did you extract the rollback package?
and yes important to put extracted update.app into dload folder on SD and unplug your device while doing this
if not flash stock recovery, system and so one with huawei extractor from your current running rom
you can enter fastboot mode, turn off your device and hold volume down + power, try this with plugged or unplugged device, but must be turned off..if this helps enter fastbootmode, then flash the extracted images

Update process:
1. Unzip [extract] the update.zip to the SD card into the dload folder (if folder is not present, create it yourself)
2. In the phone app, enter the combination *#*#2846579#*#*, then select "Software Upgrade" and
The update from SD start
3. Delete the data in the dload folder
4. Repeat point 1-3 with the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
5. WipeCache (personal recommendation)

Honor 8 weird glitch wont let me pass setup

Hi I just bought my honor 8, i unlocked my bootloader, then tried flashing twrp, it said it worked, but it just went to EMUI recovery. I must of flashed the wrong one, it was the american one from twrp.me. I am on emui 5.0. So then i went to developer option and accidently clicked revert to default settings, which turned off my oem unlock. so this turned FRP lock back on. I had the bootloader still unlocked so i tried flashing surdas twrp this time, and it failed. so i rebooted my phone and it went to the recovry and said it got seriously data corrupt or something and said to repair so i did, then i rebooted and it went to setup. but now it wont let me get through the setup because i cant type.. it just brings up google voice typing. So somethings messed up.
Model is FRD-L14
Emui 5.0
the bootloader is currently locked.
FRP lock is on.
I can get to fastboot, recovery and it boots up to setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I don;t know how i can fix this.
Is there any way i can flash stock rom and recovery in like download mode or something?
I have simlar issue to this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/help-keyboard-google-voice-t3629372

I dont understand how I downgrade. I have a locked bootloader and no custom recovery.

Use a sdcard and create a directory "dload". In this directory first place the rollback UPDATE.APP. Use the 3-button combo to enter dload mode. Then once done change that UPDATE.APP with the B130 (EMUI 4.1) UPDATE.APP of your device. Again enter dload mode and you should have successfully downgraded.
You can now upgrade from software updater to EMUI 5.0.

Download the rollback from above and after extraction copy the UPDATE.APP file into the dload folder. Once done replace this with the B120/B130 UPDATE.APP.
You don't need to extract the UPDATE.APP but extract the update.zip which would give you the UPDATE.APP to be copied into the dload folder.

I figured out how to unlock my bootloader, but i don't know how to install the proper twrp version without bricking my device. Then i'd be installing a lineage os rom after i have twrp, which i know how to do from using my galaxy s4 .

Once you are on emui 5.0, make sure you enable developer options and keep the oem unlock option ON. Then enable usb debugging and reboot to fastboot using your PC and typing "adb reboot fastboot".
Once in fast boot mode, first unlock your boot loader using "fastboot oem unlock CODE". This will prompt for a factory reset and once done repeat the above in developer options and enter fast boot mode again. You can simply type "fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img" where the recovery.img is the one you download from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
Voila you have successfully flashed twrp and now can flash whichever rom you want.

Make sure you turn off FRP lock.

If you have FRP locked it is because you didn't enable OEM Unlock in EMUI 4.1

I fixed the issue. FRP was already unlocked. But I just advance wiped the data on those and it fixed the issue. Thanks man. Do you know what the most stable 7.1.2 ROM is? Cause I just used the lineageos 14.1 one and it randomly reboots on me when I have music playing, actually its just random in general.

I have come into a bit of a problem. I turned off or unlocking in developer options, then I rebooted my phone and it just bootlooped. So I did the thing you told me to do before with the roll back and the 4.1 emui. That all went fine, but after it finished installing 4.1 and restarted it's in bootloops still :/

Honor 6x only boots into eRecovery mode.

Alright. I have an honor 6x which I attempted to root. I flashed the twrp wrong, and I then was stuck in a bootloop of sorts where it would bring me back to the "Your phone has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen from unlocking bootloader. I let the battery die, and on that screen once it got some charge, it gave me the option to go to eRecovery. I did that and was able to shut the phone down completely. I then put it in fastboot mode. Through that, I re-locked the bootloader. Done!... not quite. Then, I turned the phone on. Now it only boots into eRecovery mode. I have no idea what the problem is or if it can be fixed. Any help would be received gratefully. Thank you!

which version of device(BL..) and do you bricked on EMUI 4.1 or 5 ?

In worst of cases, are you able to wipe data from eRecovery menu?

Why did you relock bootloader? Not a good idea.

On eRecovery screen there isn't that option. Updating thru it doesn't work so my only eRecovery options are reboot or shut down.

Yes, I did. I do have to mention that before I copied the update.app, I had to make a dload folder.

Download the files from the link and flash them through dload. No need to unzip and install stock recovery.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs

Alright. I have an honor 6x which I attempted to root. I flashed the twrp wrong, and I then was stuck in a bootloop of sorts where it would bring me back to the "Your phone has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen from unlocking bootloader. I let the battery die, and on that screen once it got some charge, it gave me the option to go to eRecovery. I did that and was able to shut the phone down completely. I then put it in fastboot mode. Through that, I re-locked the bootloader. Done!... not quite. Then, I turned the phone on. Now it only boots into eRecovery mode. I have no idea what the problem is or if it can be fixed. Any help would be received gratefully. Thank you!

first of all it is a surprise that ur phone gets charged after u let it die(bcoz mine doesnt wake up till now after the same instance).
and for ur problem if it boots in erecovery mode then there will be a option like downloading os from internet and if u select that it will automatically get installed in android mm

But his device is successfully working

I found that my phone got into that same state (always booting to eRecovery) if I flashed a replacement recovery2 and re-locked the bootloader; apparently Huawei doesn't like that. I just had to boot to fastboot and unlock the bootloader again, then it was able to start up to System.
It sounds like OP was able to fix it by restoring the original recovery2.

Honor 6x BLN22 Semi Bricked! Help!

Hi! This is my first post and going to be a long one! But kindly excuse me! I need HELP!
I have Semi bricked my Honor 6x firmware (bln-l22, android 6.0, emui 4.1, c675b132, india channel) while trying to manually update it to Nougat which I downloaded from "stechguide.com/honor-6x- b360-nougat-update". I downloaded the Asian version. I accidentally extracted and flashed update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip instead of the update.zip first. The update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip file got to 100% installed and then went to Huawei eRecovery. Then I couldn't flash the update.zip. I get a software install failed. Also tried to manually flash to stock Rom and other newer update versions of Nougat on SD card again but I get software install failed or Incompatible for this phone. I tried to factory hard reset but this also fails. I can wipe only the cache and reboot which goes again to eRecovery. The eRecovery on wifi does not work either. I looked up booting to safe mode but nothing happens.
After reading a lot on this forum, I tried minimal adb and fastboot. My device in fastboot & rescue mode shows up on minimal adb and fastboot when I type "fastboot devices" command (but adb devices gives no devices/emulator found). It also shows up as Android Phone (Android sooner Single ADB Interface) in Device manager on PC and android drivers is upto date. The Huawei suite loads up but can't connect to it (can't enable hdb).
My phone is boot locked, FRP locked, not rooted (and impossible to enable usb debug) so I can't flash any commands like recovery.img, system.img or twrp and cwm recovery. I always get the remote command not allowed.
Right now, On starting my device, Honor logo shows up, vibrates and goes dark twice then to eRecovery.
All the other combination functions of Power, Vol - and Vol + works.
Please help me restore my Honor 6x to stock or update to Nougat! Thanks a ton!

extract update.zip. Get the UPDATE.APP.
create a "dload" directory to your sdcard. copy UPDATE.APP in this folder
shutdown phone / unplug phone.
hold on VOL + + VOL - + POWER
UPDATE.APP will install. Then shutdown phone. remove UPDATE.APP from dload directory. Extract UPDATE.APP from second zip (smallest one: update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip)
copy this new UPDATE.APP into dload folder on sdcard.
Shutdown phone / unplug
hold on VOL + + VOL - + POWER
When install complete, try to boot, if not boot, recovery into recovery and wipe cache / data

Heya! Thanks for the reply.
Can you be more specific about Which ROM to use? The stock ROM or the Newer Nougat Firmware for my phone model?
I have tried the following:
Honor 6X B132 Stock ROM and Honor 6X B320, 330, 360. Yet to try B320, 340 & 342 Firmwares.
I don't remember which one says incompatible, wrong update package or software update failed after 6% installation but bottom line is they all fail to install. I can't do a Hard reset and only wipe cache. I do wipe cache before flashing with SD card dload method but still unsuccesful.:fingers-crossed:

As far as I know, There is no rollback packages for BLN22(India) yet. :crying: Is there a way to flash it to Nougat?

I am not sure! Some people have updated successfully while others are not so lucky and some like me, have messed up!
Unless you are unhappy with your phone performance, I'd recommend not to rollback provided our rollback package is even available to perform that!

Can you kindly send me the firmware download links?
Edit:
I dug deeper into this B360 nougat update and I now know for sure I've tried to flash a wrong update for my Phone wrongly.
The B360 for – [Asian variant] Honor 6X is BLN-L22C636Bxxx which is different from the Indian build – [Indian variant] Honor 6X BLN-L22C675Bxxx.
Am I missing something here?
