I relocked my bootloader so i can unlock it again because TWRP refused to install on my Mate 8 after i upgraded it to Nougat. However, whenever i try setting up my phone and reach the wifi set up part, the keyboard doesn't show up. Instead, it only shows me the google voice keyboard and no buttons for me to type with. And when i try skipping that phase, it gets stuck on the "Checking Info" for hours on end. I'm in dire need of help. How do i get the stupid keyboard to function properly.
Did you try to install again the firmware via dload method on the external SD? If you do it, you make the factory reset at the end.
I faced same problem after installing nougat
I did the following to fix the problem
Dload stock firmware b320
Unlock my bootloader
Flash twrp recovery
Wip date (yes)
Fastboot to flash insecure boot.img for b320
Twrp to flash two files for b560
Update.zip & update data _all
Noting that u must flash the 2nd file data_all
Cause its include all google apk like keyboard
And Bluetooth file
After flashing both file do factory reset
Restart ur phone it will take 5min to reboot
Thanks
Hi,
I've been trying to upgrade the firmware. My phone is rooted and it keeps booting into twrp and I have no idea what zip to flash as nothing shows up.
The screenshot shows what I see before of automatically boots up.
Can anyone please help.
one of the first, and most basic rules of Android is that you can NOT be rooted and then upgrade your firmware with a factory firmware upgrade..this is how it works 99% of the time
You can flash original recovery.img from your firmware file via fastboot then upgrade your firmware via ota and finally flash twrp via fastboot again. Good luck
Thanks all. Sorry for a simply muckup on my end.
Hi, I've tried root my L09 buy I dont arrived to install TWRP. I'm new in this questions and in the process my phone was bricked. Tried this guide for unbrick and was fantastic, my phone reborn. I've tried to root a more one time and, like de first time, the TWRP dont install or appear in my phone. Finish, I tried to return with this method at the beggining but now I have a little big problem I can't understand. The question is: 1. I can flash de BOOT and the RECOVERY, but when I have to use the rollback and the MM my phone dont entry in EMUI Recovery and I dont shutdown so It is always trying to reboot ¿could you help me please? I´m desesperating

Just keep pressing Volume up + Power even if the phone boots once or twice.

Hi,
i encountered almost the same problem tryng to install twrp, so, when i try to come back to stock and relock the boot loader, i went to bootloop for some times. What i did:
donwload official stock b389, extract it, and flash manually (fastboot flash cust cust.img; recovery; boot; system)
failed, i got bootloop.
hardreset, not sure if it was acessible and i did it for sure...
download from official honor/hawei site, the 2 package to rollback from nougat to marshmallow.
installed the, again don't remember if it worked in dload like the official site teach you or if i did it manually (extraction, fastboot flash ecc ecc)
so, flash the mid packcage (from nougat to marshmallow) then flash the marshmallow firmware.
now, try to reset, and again, try to flash a stock marskmallow firmware.
the problems i encountered was (i suppose) it fail to manually flash a marshmallow firmware on a nougat bootloader, so, with the rollback package i was able to have a marshmallow bootloader where flash the stock firmware.
it took me time, sweat, and fear, but at the end it worked. It's easyer when you decide "i blowed it up, whatever it happens, i don't care..."
I have European honor8 32gb b389
i install lineage os 7.1.2 but dont like it and wont do restore backup with twrp, but after restore the phone blocked on honor screen.
i tried everything, and now i have a lot of confusion, i tried dload, but nothing happened when i turn on with +-power. I try with huawai extractor to flash boot system cust and recovery but nothing device go in bootloop. if i flash recovery from b131 firmware i can go in dload but freeze at 5%
what i can do? sorry for my English, i speak Italian and Russian if somebody want to help me in pm.

Are you sure you're using the rollback package before? You can download it from honor official website, then you move the firmware file in a dload folder on your sdcard. Boot up using both + and - buttons and the power button in the same time and the phone will force the flashing of the rollback ( package needed to go back from android 7 to android 6) file. Then you have to download the android 6 firmware for your device from the honor official website again and flash it with the same process of the rollback package. If you can't undestand i can try to explain it in italian

Just flash the stock recovery there in fastboot. And reboot. Shutdown the phone and use dload method
Basically you missed one thing before restoring stock backup. You should have performed a full factory reset using the second recovery and then restored your TWRP backup.
Your device being stuck on Honor screen is because you forgot to enable encryption (that is done by performing a factory wipe through second recovery).

Follow my guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
Before you do it, flash stock Nougat recovery (if you were on EMUI 5) and perform a factory reset. Then flash TWRP again through Fastboot.
Use the TWRP method since you are unable to boot to EMUI. Chose any firmware you want, whether it be Marshmallow or Nougat.

Are you following the steps exactly as mentioned?
You need to flash TWRP first then setup your device to install the firmware. Read the TWRP section again and follow it exactly as mentioned.
Nothing to worry about that Fastboot status. It is normal.

Damn. I forgot you could simply flash files from Fastboot.
In the future only flash system, cust, vendor, boot and recovery. Do not attempt to flash any other file.
Still, if you want to update to the latest OTA, my guide is always there to help you out.

now i have another problem, i tried to update with stock updator, but from 6 to 7 go wrong, device boot but dont work right, the keyboard dont exist and other lags, try to factory reset but error. after this i flash twrp and format data but see this : failed to mount /cust /system /data; repair or change file system do the same.
if i flash with dload b131 the phone freeze on honor screen
I know, i know there's plenty of resources over the net already and I already spent 10+ hrs on this.
I bricked my phone when SuperSU prompts me to install su binary. And it got me into bootloop.
Tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108 but failed at 61%
Tried the backup oem file method but TWRP kept saying permission denied when trying to backup
Couldn't find a way to import dload+Update.app file into internal storage without actually booting up the phone first. I didn't knew the exact directory for internal storage so I couldn't copy it from OTG
Bootloader Unlocked, Rooted(before recovery), using TWRP.
I wanna go back to clean stock firmware
Any helps would be appreciated.
ADDED: ITS ORIGINALLY OREO
Any luck? I have the same problem here ..
Still have unlocked bootloader & know the firmware version you were on?
Right. Go to Firmware Finder. Download the FullOTA version of it.
Get one of the firmware extractor utilities. You're going to want SYSTEM, KERNEL, RAMDISK, and RECOVERY_RAMDISK (or RECOVERY_RAMDIS, depending on the extractor).
Get into fastboot mode.
Flash those 4 items to the partitions named the same.
Reboot into recovery - you're now in an EMUI recovery. Factory reset.
Reboot.
You should be back to stock with an unlocked bootloader. If you've gone poking around with root or whatnot and might have modified one of the other partitions, don't relock your device - it won't boot. Instead, hwota8 or a NoCheck stock recovery are probably the way you'd want to go. (To be honest, I haven't used either. If I want to get back to full stock knowing it's not modified, I usually do a downgrade flash to Nougat through HiSuite and then upgrade again.)

Try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
And use this TWRP with it (won't work otherwise, most likely): https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783353
(Also, that TWRP has decryption support so you can backup /data.)
Search and download your fw from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
You'll want Update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip and the hw data zip. (Make sure it's actually for your phone, e.g. check region cust)
Rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip, rename hw data zip to update_all_hw.zip.
Put update zips and HuRupdater zip in the same folder on your sdcard/internal memory, flash HuRupdater with TWRP.
i have a question, im on mha l29 dual sim version with stock oreo magisk and twrp (368 update) how can i revert back to clean oreo? so i can get the updates normally. thanks !!

That is weird, considering that he only made one TWRP for Mate 9
