MATE 8 soft bricked. - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried upgrading my firmware, it went wrong somewhere. Now it is soft bricked, I downloaded an official Update.app from Huawei, extracted it flashed everything but sometimes when I flash it gives me a FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) it there anything that can be done? I DO NOT have TWRP installed, if there is a way for me to install it, one that actually works I've tried some that don't work, but I'm desperate. Thanks in advanced!

I cant, It wont let me get into the phone, I cant access the phone memory when it is plugged into my pc. I am also having trouble booting into the eRecovery or the EMUI updater mode. :crying:

You didn't give any details of which firmware you were trying to upgrade and to which. What's your phone model ? L29 or AL10 and which region?

Your bootloader unlocked , we need more details to support you

Gotta find a factory img. Ugh. :'(

No.... My point was if you havent set to allow unlock when your os was alive, you wont have a chance to do it after brick. Also. Afaik you also wont be able to boot from sd. Hope i am wrong though.

Try the Unbrick option using Italian Knife. That saved me from a few soft bricks. Good luck.

You either flashed an incorrect firmware or the downlaad was corrupted.

Then you DO NOT have the same issue. As for you, there are already a dozen threads regarding the PC does not recognize the phone.

Unbrick needed

Hi,
I need your help: I might have bricked my Mate 9 while trying to root it. Right now it makes a boot loop. I still have access to TWRP:
I already WIPED the phone with TWRP (all apart from the Systempartition) but I'm still out of luck.
I downloaded the current firmware (FULL) and extracted the update.app, copied it into a "dload" folder on my SDCARD but I get a "Software install failed" after 5% from the HUAWEI updater tool (which opens when pressing VolumeDown while booting). I tried it with bootloader unlocked and relocked.
I really hope you guys have another idea!
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
quicky
Extract update.app with huawei extractor, and flash system, recovery, boot.img with fastboot.

Thanks for the feedback. I HEARD that the new filesystem of the Mate9 renders the phone with that process. As you can see I'm a noob, I just wanted to ask if anybody was succesful with HuaweiExtractor on the Mate9
Also fastboot flashing method not working
Phone bootloap
So that means it's bricked? I just made a donation for "Funky Huawei" hoping that this solution will let me flash it back to normal. But I start running out of ideas.
Any other options?
Just to let you all know: I tried FunkyHuawei and I was able to recover my Mate9! Everything is working fine again.

You can't get into recovery or erecovery? Only fastboot? Does it say you still have the bootloader unlocked?

Extract the update.app files with the Huawei Update Extractor program. Google it
And then try to flash the system.img via fastboot in the bootloader

Nah there's still hope. I screwed up worse. I had the same problem that I couldn't get into recovery. But I had the FRP Lock and Bootloader Locked also. But what I had to do was pay 15 Euros for a program called DC Phoenix and it fixed all my problem. Not all is lost

Well you can try to use the SRK toolkit if u want
I need help too, I have a 64 gig US version. Just rooted it today and got TWRP, made a back up. Flashed 2 roms, and none would go past the boot screen so I tried to do my back up and it error'd out at the last minute. I would like to just revert everything back to stock and lock the bootloader. IS this possible? if I do the EMUI update it fails, prob cause the boot loader is locked.

Honor 8 rollback brick (vendor clust partition missing)

Hi,
i tried some ROMS out, but since I couldn't get my banking apps to work I wanted to rollback to Stock ROM.
I"ve made a backup but I couldnt install it with restore in TWRP.
Now I basically bricked and I am missing 3 partitions. Is there a way to flash the partitions back? Could I can still acces TWRP and fastboot.
I thought that I could flash the boot.img from the stock backup via fastboot, but i dunno how to extract the boot.img
Anyway I can fix this?
Also pushing the dload files onto the sd might work, but I dunno how to acces the sd via twrp.

Whenever I try to flash with Dload iam getting the error that I have the wrong package. Also on B360 I can not upgrade to B380 since it says its the wrong package (although that is my least worry right now )

Go to software updater and choose to download full package which should update to B380. If it doesn't work, force it using Firmware Finder app from Play Store.

Phone bricked after upgrading to Oreo

Hi, I have a FRD-L09C432. I wanted to try Oreo with the russian firmware, so I followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/rebranding-to-frd-l09c10-oreo-russian-t3815591
Something must have went wrong because it booted without setup nor GApps. I think the two data zips didn't flash correctly. They couldn't be dloaded because they don't have an update.app file.
I managed to install TWRP with MultiTool v8, and I tried to flash Gapps but the google account setup crashes. I tried to flash the two other zips, "update_data_full_public" flashed successfully (only a small error at the begining but I don't think it was important) and "update_full_FRD-L09_hw_ru" gave an error directly.
I rebooted to system and OEM unlock was disabled and greyed out ... I tried to factory reset in TWRP and now it won't boot, it's stuck on honor boot animation for minutes then reboot ...
I tried to reflash update.zip via TWRP but it gives an error. Also TWRP can't unmount system, I don't know if it's important.
I tried to use DC Unlocker (15€ credits) to unlock FRP but it didn't do anything ... I asked for a refund to try DC Phoenix.
I thought about flashing stock recovery via TWRP to factory reset properly but with FRP locked I'm worried to lose TWRP forever.
Now I don't know what to do. Is DC Phoenix a good solution? Which ROM must I flash? How do I rollback to Nougat? Is there any solution?
Thanks. I'm pretty lost actually :crying:
Ok I solved my problem by flashing C10B360 from TWRP and factory reset from stock recovery. If it can help someone!
The bootloader is relocked but the rom works
