Bricked Honor 6x, no OS, no Custom Recovery

So, the thing is im pretty new here.
I had Marshmallow on my 6x, i had TWRP, then I performed a wipe of every partition (except of Micro SDcard) and installed Resurrection Remix.
It was installed, there was a little Problem, so i wanted to go back to the Stock Firmware.
I wiped it again, and installed the first one of the update.app's (from http://www.stechguide.com/update-honor-6x-to-android-nougat/ ) via dload Method.
Then the second update.app was installed via dload Method. I wanted to reboot the device, but now it doesn't boot into Nougat. Instead it boots to eRecovery.
And now I'm stuck here, no OS and no TWRP (problably got removed by first Nougat update.app)
So is there any way I can install a new OS? or maybe wipe the system partition for a clean start?
THX in advance,
-Paul

Man I don't know. Can you connect via ADB to a pc ?
If so you can try to install MM update B151 full from http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=

Depends on your system. If you talk about commands I guess you're on Windows (I'm not). Then search the web or wait for others to respond.

Dload method is your friend

yes it helped me a lot of thanks to @shashank1320
he given his valuable time and personally assisted me on telegram
what is the ultimate solution of all type of brick is dload method
many people says it works with internal storage ,works with twrp intstalled need to put this or this file into dload folder etc etc
my experience is this
NONE OS METHOD WORKING NEITHER FASTBOOT FLASHING ANYTHING NOR TWRP RESTORING BACKUP OR FLASHING ANYTHING
FINALLY I TRIED DLOAD METHODS BUT IT DIDNT WORKED AT THAT TIME
MISTAKE WHAT I WAS MAKING WAS THAT I WAS USING FIRMWARE WHICH WAS ON OFFICIAL SITE OF HUAWEI
LATER @shashank1320
GUIDED ME TO DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE EXACTLY SIMILAR TO MY PHONES FIRMWARE THIS IS MUST IT SHOULD MATCH WITH YOU FIRMWARE
THEN PUT ALL THE FILES UNDER DLOAD FOLDER(THERE WERE 4 FILES)
SOME SAYS JUST PUT UPDATE.APP BUT FORM ME IT DID NOT WORKED SO I PUTTED ALL 4 FILES UNDER DLOAD FOLDER CLEANED ALL OTHER FOLDERS,FILES FROM MY SD CARD THERE WERE ONLY DLOAD FOLDER
SO I SHUT DOWN PHONE THEN PRESSD ALL THREE BUTTONS TOGETHER(POWER +VOL UP + VOL DOWN) AND AFTER STUCKING ON HONOR SCREEN FOR 5 6 MINUTES ITS STARTED FLASHING
AND I GOT MY PHONE WORKING AGAIN
HOWEVER MY BOOTLOADER AND FRP IS STILL UNLOCKED
TWRP IS STILL THERE I DONT HAVE STOCK RECOVERY AND BUILD NUMBER IS NRD90M TEST KEYS
BUT IT DONT MATTER FOR ME NOW
THANKS @shashank1320 @RedSkull23
BOTTOM LINE IS DLOAD METHOD IS ULTIMATE SOLUTION IF YOU DO IT CORRECTLY.

How to flash via TWRP a stock ROM in my problematic phone

Hi everyone.
I am facing a LOT of troubles with my phone (as stated in this thread).
Anyway now I have again unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP 3.1.1, rooted but I have a strange ROM installed by a service tech shop after the phone became unusable.
The problem is that this ROM does not show an update option in settings so I am stuck at 1st march security patches.
Here attached my actual Build Prop file.
The ROM seems to be a BLN-L21C900B300 (never heard of this and not even found on Firmware Finder) and the fingerprints show a "test keys" rom:
device: HWBLN-H
Display: BLN-L21C900B300
Fingerprint: Huawei/generic_a15/generic_a15:7.0/NRD90M/jslave04010520/:user/test keys​
If I try to flash via TWRP a BLN-L21C432B360 (which was my previous stock ROM) it does not work and on TWRP appears the following:
......
write radio image
check_write_data_to_partition
write data error
E; unknown command (errno)
update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed
updater process ended with ERROR: 7
error installing zip file '/external_sd/update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu_zip'​
I cannot flash the FULL zip file with the core of the ROM but I can luckily flash the data, so I could get back Radio Fm and possibility to install themes....
To make the story short: is there someone who knows what this error is? Maybe I can get a solution.
Moreover: maybe this strange "device: HWBLN-H Display: BLN-L21C900B300 Fingerprint: Huawei/generic_a15/generic_a15:7.0/NRD90M/jslave04010520/:user/test keys" is preventing me to flash?
Changing build prop file can be useful?
Thanks to all.

I forgot to mention: dload not working. Always error.
That's why I think TWRP is the only solution

B300 (at least for the BLN-L24) is the first of two update packages to rollback from Nougat to MM. The first update will take you from the latest firmware to B300 and then the second update will complete the rollback to your device's stock firmware.
dload this package to complete the rollback then do a factory reset and wipe cache partition in stock recovery. After that download and update to the latest firmware and proceed to unlock BL and flash twrp and you should be good to go.

And before doing it I have to flash the stock recovery?
My phone was, we can say, flashed in some way by the tech shop to this strange version of Nougat and with the "test keys" fingertips.
With the files you provide I should "dload"?
I do not understand your post.
please explain better.
Thanks.

My phone was, we can say, flashed in some way by the tech shop to this strange version of Nougat and with the "test keys" fingertips. Like I said they did half of the rollback process which is why you are on B300 firmware that you cant find available for download

Download the zip I linked above from Huawei website. Extract the update.app and put it in dload folder on your external SD card and force flash (power vol - vol +). It will flash all the stock images and return your phone to factory firmware android 6.0 EMUI 4.1. It might bootloop after this but booting into stock recovery (power vol +) and perform factory reset followed by wipe cache partition will get you booting. Then you can OTA update to latest firmware and root again.

Well, I will try this weekend. Now the risk to stay without phone during working days is too high
Ah, BTW, thanks for suggestion.

I agree 100%
Since you have nothing to lose right now just try the whole rollback process. Here is the update that the service center used to get your phone to BLN-L21C900B300. You can try flashing that again through dload or skip to trying to flash this. There are two different firmwares listed as the 2nd part of the rollback and you already said the last one I gave you failed so give this one a shot. Let me know how it works out for you:good:

Have you tried the Team MT huawei multitool to flash the images from the firmware? Use the Huawei update extractor tool to get the boot,cust,recovery,system and userdata.img from the firmware you tried to flash and then put them in the unbrick folder in the multi tool. Put phone in fastboot and run the Multi tool and use the unbrick option. I know your phone is not bricked but this way it will flash all 5 images in order through fastboot. You could actually try and flash the most current firmware with this method and avoid having to system update from MM to Nougat.

yes, exactly, I am trying with multitool . another bro suggested me how to do it even if with a slightly different method.
"You need flash the oeminfo via multi tool and then same firmware file for your current version via dload. It should be fixed".
WTF....never sweat so much for a phone. And never had those problems flashing samsung... and I was flashaholic

Yes, I have learned so much about this phone and the flashing/brick/unbrick process in the last 2 weeks.

When I go to multitool "unbrick", it asks for custom.img, but in no update.app of my firmware is present.
Moreover now I just can enter erecovery. It does not boot. I can enter fastboot only. Multitool is now not recognizing the phone. Do you know how to proceed?
I put in dload the firmware .app, but it says "software install failed"

Pheew...I managed to have again that fuc..ng C900B300.
I entered fastboot and repeated the unlock bootloader process. That way the phone got a hard reset and started over. Believe me when I say I tried all the methods I knew.
I think there is something locked somewhere in my partitions (I am not an expert of course) that prevent me to do deep modifications. Now I just can TWRP data but not the core. And again I have no update option. I think I am stuck forever at this stage with 1st march patches and nougat 7.0.
I do not think I will be ever able to have Oreo.
Amen. I am really tired to waste my time with this s**t. Next phone will be again a Samsung or One+. Full stop. Stop chinese brands.

Where are you located, Europe?

Yes

Ok bro I really hope this is it. Full firmware BLN-L21C432B151. I already downloaded it myself and checked with extractor tool it has all the images you need. Since you have fastboot back use the multi tool unbrick again and now that you have all the necessary images cross your fingers it will work.
And I agree with you about the phone. Made up my mind im giving this turd to my sister and getting the OP5T in a few weeks.

Thanks. I will do it this weekend. Today I spent 5 hours to get back my configuration after the hard reset with the apps I use for work. Cannot risk again tomorrow.
In another thread, sashank suggested to change OEM file because probably phone doesn't recognize the firmware I want to install.
It didn't work and lead me to start from scratch with the same strange build.
I will try your method but first I must study better the procedure because I don't want to mess up everything and risking to throw the phone in the garbage (where it belongs in the end...).
Thanks.

Reisntalling B385 stock rom to my FRD-L04

Hi guys,
I am currently trying to figure out how to reinstall a clean version of the B385 for my FRD-L04. I have downloaded these two files from the Nougat Update for FRD-L04 Honor 8 (USA):
Full ROM – http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1585/g104/v83098/f1/full/update.zip
Data File – http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...FRD-L04_hw_usa/update_full_FRD-L04_hw_usa.zip
I have tried to flash them both from TWRP, but I always get the error: Updater process ended error 7
Can anyone please guide me through the process and let me know what I'm doing wrong?
I have look for a guide or post where this is detailed, but without luck. Can anyone link me to a guide on how to reinstall the stock firmware in my Honor 8 FRD-L04?
Thanks! :good:

The best way (if you don't want to unlock bootloader) is to flash a downgrade package first, then dload the Marshmallow update and finally your preferred Nougat update though Firmware Finder.

Thanks for the response. In my case, my phone is rooted, so I don't mind unlocking the bootloader. Would you please elaborate on how to do it that way?

Unlock your bootloader and follow this guide:https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306/
Choose the B385 firmware or any newer firmware available for your region.

So I decided to finally reinstall the stock firmware in my Honor 8 FRD-L04 in B389, and this is where the nightmare began.
- I made a full backup with TWRP just in case and I decided I wanted to start from the earliest firmware possible available.
- I started unrooting my phone using the UnSU zip by Osmosis.
- Then I flash via bootloader the recovery and boot image of the firmware B360.
- I flashed the rollback package from the Huawei official site with the B122 firmware also available at the same place. I saved the rollback package in my root directory in the dload folder, and loaded it with the 3-button method. After this I wasn't able to boot my phone normally, I was stuck in a boot loop. I still continue with the next firmware, the B122, and it was successfully loaded (this also relocked my bootloader).
- It is important to say I clear many times the cache and wipe/erase data through stock recovery options, and also tried to erecover but I wans't able to connect to the WiFi. I guess something was missing (at this point I was already going crazy).
- I was still stucked at a boot loop after loading the B122, so I decided to unlock my bootloader and flash the twrp 3.1.1-1-frd.img
- From there I tried to wipe data and cache and system and everything, but I wasn't able because an error saying unable to mount always appeared.
- After rebooting, since I already had unlocked the bootloader, the initial message prompting: "press power to continue, press for 3 seconds for erecovery, etc..." appeared.
- I enter the erecovery options with the hope it will do something... and it did!!! I could connect this time through WiFi and the system asked to update the firmware and many other things it said at that moment. This was the first time I felt relieved through the night.
- The phone updated perfectly, it started at the firmware B122 and I kept updating it until I reached the B389.
- I unlocked the bootloader again and rooted the phone. And everything is running smooth as silk!
I know this is a very long story, but I just want to get it out there in case anyone is facing the same problem I just passed. Hope this helps someone and brings peace to them! =) Good luck!

I believe B385 is not functional with TWRP. Flash B360 and reboot to recovery. This should go to stock recovery, where you will have to do a factory reset. I got EMUI working, but it refuses to update to any newer version (it does show B380 but doesn't update). Also there should be updates after making that update. The updates did work for other people, so you may be able to have it working.

I have tried to flash them both from TWRP, but I always get the error: Updater process ended error 7
Can anyone please guide me through the process and let me know what I'm doing wrong?
I have look for a guide or post where this is detailed, but without luck. Can anyone link me to a guide on how to reinstall the stock firmware in my Honor 8 FRD-L04?
Thanks! :good:

Try flash B360 then OTA to 388 or 391 (If 391 singed).

[help] Bootloop after Oreo flash

hello guys, today stupidly I wanted to install oreo on my honor 8 European (starting from the firmware l09-c432b403) through the Redlotus method (great guide helped me to do a clean flash of the system) now I'm with a brick with bootloader automatically locked after the installation of oreo and I do not know how to reshuffle it since it does not light up ... can you make a miracle? :crying: :crying:

Can you boot into recovery? If yes then a factory reset should solve the problem in such cases

In recovery factory wipe get error at 10% ...

Try using fastboot to wipe data

I tried also through fastboot but tells me that it is not allowed to do the wipe, it will be because the bootloader is blocked.ora I do not think it is a hard brick because it goes into recovery ... now the only methods are or try to unlock the bootloader (but I can not find the product id because it does not turn on) or to find some firmware that does not make me fail the update via dload ... but they all fail ...

Did you try the rollback firmware in dload?
You can try getting the unlock code using the IMEI and serial number on the box, unfortunately no product ID is on the box try some product id generator or using dc unlocker... It's the only known way to get the unlock code in such situation.

You should wait for the unlock code then, no other option try factory reset one last time maybe, good luck

feel, as far as the unlock code is concerned, since I have made the request Saturday, Saturday and Sunday do not count? the code sends it automatically or there will be someone who reads the e-mails ... just out of curiosity

I think it's a manual process as its submitted in Google forms, even I have requested a unlock code on Saturday, I can't remember where I stored the original one or weather if I ever saved it at all. But luckily my device update was successful... B404 only had to factory reset and the bootloader was locked.
Will let you know as soon as I receive it, and you let me know too when you receive it :fingers-crossed:

You should always backup your bootloader unlock key instead of requesting it everytime. Anyways, once you do get your unlock key, unlock the bootloader and do the following steps to restore your device:
Grab Honor View 10 TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/berkeley/ and flash it using the command below:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Replace twrp.img with the name of the recovery.
You now need EMUI 5 firmware. Go to firmware finder and download the firmware which is FullOTA-MF-PV (must have PV in the end). Copy the firmware to your SD-card. For you it should be B394: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1774/g1755/v101649/f1/full/update.zip
Now reboot your device to TWRP. It might take some time to boot to TWRP so do wait.
Once rebooted, install the update.zip file.
Reboot to system from TWRP. Your device will automatically perform a second stage install and a complete data reset.
Hooray, you're back to EMUI 5.
Now again unlock bootloader and flash EMUI 5 TWRP. Now install this zip: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L09_hw_eu/update_data_full_FRD-L09_hw_eu.zip
Perform a final factory reset via erecovery and you're done.

hello and thanks for your help, a question, before installing the update.zip I have to do the wipe data restart in recovery and do another wipe as in custom rom?

Rollback package from oreo to nougat?

Is there any rollback package from 8.0 to 7.0 frd-l19c10?

Yes, boot into oreo er recovery, and select Download Latest Firmware And Recovery, It brings you back to Nougat, I tried it before. You don't need stock recovery to do this.

Yes. Just one problem: The firmware download in eRecovery available just a few regions.

Hmmmm... Maybe of you have twrp you could clear the internal storage and flash a full OTA PV Update Using HurUpdater Maybe.

I cant do that because i cant do oem unlock, its greyed, and bootloader is locked, I want to roll it back because i dont have gapps installed in oreo.

Connect your phone to your PC, open up Hisuite and click on Recovery. It'll show you an option to rollback.
