I found a guide to downgrade my honor h60 l02 and it said to replace the recovery and system with the stock ones from SYSTEM.img and RECOVERY.img in official roms (through fastboot) and I got those files from version b535 using huawei extractor. After flashing those 2 I couldn't start the 3 button format procedure to update with the b535 rom in the dload folder on my sdcard. So I searched for an unbrick procedure and found one on multitool honor 6 xda page. I flashed the boot,cust,system,recovery from b535 with multitool unbrick procedure and still couldn't get in the emui installation screen by pressing vol+vol-power. I tried reformatting sdcard to fat 32 and put again dload folder with update.app inside. I even tried to press the 3 buttons with card partially introduced but still can't start the update procedure. Used another microsd card but no starting. I finally tried to install a custom recovery but only got to install twrp 2.8.70 v2 for emui 4.0 . Before the whole BIG problem I think I had rom with 6.1.19 version which actually had problems with the bluetooth not starting and that was the reason I wanted to downgrade. I also tried to install 2 custom roms for h60 l02 but I got error on zip installation which seems weird considering at list that should work if I can't use the update procedure. I could probablly use fastboot to install all images required for rom but I can't find a scatter file info or a partition guide anywhere for h60 l02 because I cant install any zip from twrp recovery except gapps.
Any help is welcomed! I'll buy you a bear if u can help me !
Problem solved
So I finally got to fix the phone. I found out that the phone was updated to a Marshmallow rom in the beta stage by my friend who gave it to me. The rom was identified succesfully after some searches on 4pda.ru forums where a couple of russians are experimenting how to put android 6 on honor 6 devices. The version was 5.12.31_beta which in device id I think it apears as h60-C00b690sp01. I put the stock recovery and boot from that image with fastboot on phone. Wanted to put also system and cust images but the rom is an update zip which has mixt type of data (system, cust and a few other partition datas are directly in the zip with meta and inf datas while boot,recovery and a few other partition datas are inside the update.app in the zip). Luckilly for me after the boot and recovery flash I could start stock recovery with vol+power button press and also could finally start force update procedure with vol+vol-power buttons pressed (keep in mind that from fastboot I pressed the 3 buttons continuoselly while the phone restarted , went to a honor logo display, after about 5 seconds it restarted and started emui installation screen; for some reason even from powered off state the device needed to go to the honor screen before on the restart to emui installation screen and Ive seen videos where the devices just go straight to emui installation screen). I got a downgrade package from 4pda.ru forums and tried to install it with forced update procedure but it got stuck at 5%. After 1 more day I figured out that I need to pull the usb cable out before the emui installation screen because it would show a usb connected icon on screen instead of showing emui installation icon (I thought at first that thats how it should look for marshmallow stock roms xD) and Im thinking that if u keep usb cable plugged in it tries to get flash image from usb and if that is unplugged it tries to get image from sdcard dload folder. So I flashed the downgrade version and after restart to honor logo screen I restarted device to fastboot mode with ofc vol-power buttons pressed and pulled the sdcard out. I replaced downgrade package (update. app from H60-LX2_EMUI4.0_2_EMUI3.1 dload) with the dload folder of the b535 stable rom (H60-L02-L12_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_C00B535 rom) on the sdcard. I restarted device and used again 3 button update without usb plugged in xD and it installed all the way. After 100% installation the device rebooted and after showing a big „w” it got to pulsating honor logo screen and after about 10 minutes it showed me language menu for language selection. And the desperation saga ended xD. Happy ending!!!

Hey there,
first of all I want to say Thank You for this great community and the work at XDA. Awesome. :good:
I bricked my Honor 6 H60-L02 and I am lost to bring it back to life. :crying:
Where it started:
I was using the official ROM from this thread [OFFICIAL] Honor 6 (L02, L12, L04) Stock ROMs. To be more specific it was the latest Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0 B823 that I installed with all the different OTA-Files starting with the original 5.1 ROM B535. The Honor was rooted and also the bootloader is still unlocked (I already checked the status via Fastboot.).
After I while the Honor 6 started to crash sometimes and the headphone-buttons didn't worked anymore. Then a few days ago the phone crashed and I was not able to boot it again.
And so I tried this:
Using the Rollback-Zip to go back to 5.1. But the 3btn-method didn't worked. The phone didn't want to boot into the recovery. Also the Vol+ and Power-Button didn't work to start the Recovery of the phone. Result: Bootloop.
So I installed ADB and Fastboot (with all necessary drivers) and tried to flash the phone with the 5.1 B535 (as mentioned in Honor 6 H60-L02 Hard Bricked - Only access to fastboot (Vol+ and Usb PC)) because there isn't a 6.0 B823 ROM available. I was able to flash boot, recovery, cust, system, userdata and another one I forgot right now. But the result was the same: Bootloop and no 3-btn or recovery via Vol+ and Power-Button. I also tried to flash it with the HonorTool. Same result.
Then I tried to flash different TWRP versions as recovery. Result: The same as above.
So I tried another official ROM 5.1 B526 because someone had the same problem and was able to recover his phone with this ROM (another thread in the forum). But that didn't worked ether.
Then I tried to flash all the img-files of the 5.1. B535 as crc, ptable and so on because I thought that there could be the problem. But when I tried e.g. to flash crc I get the error FAILED: command not allowed. So I tried to unlock the phones partition via Fastboot and fastboot flashine unlock_critical. But using the command unlock_critical gives me also the Failed error. So I was lost again.
Status right now:
I'm still able to boot into the bootloader via Vol- and Power. But right now the phone was running out of battery. Means I see the red battery symbol when I try to start the phone via the power button (without connecting to the PC or charger) but it isn't booting even into the bootloop. The red battery symbol pops up for a second and the screen went black again.
When I use the charger then the symbol changes to a green battery and stays there, but not the moving one that indicates that the phone is charging. When I use the Power button with usb-charger connected to start the phone I'm trapped in the bootloop again.
You see I already tried a lot of different things I could find on the forum. But nothing worked for me.
I know that it was a fault to try to install 5.1 B535 without the rollback, but I wasn't able to rollback as mentioned under point 1.
Maybe anyone could give me a hint and help me to bring my phone back to life.
Thx a lot! I appreciate that al lot!
If you need anymore informations, plz let me know.

Just flash boot, Cust, recovery and system images and let it boot normally. Don't do any button combo. I have had instances where it works. Give it a try.
With which version?

Thx for your reply.
With which version should I flash? B535 or B526? Should I only flash the three images boot, cust and system? Nothing else?

You can use any firmware but the latest one should be better, and flash four images, boot, Cust, system and boot and let it boot normally.
Then put the dload folder with update.app in sd card and do an update from settings.
Thx. I will give it a try when I'm back from work.
I let you know if it is working.

Hey muradulislam,
Thx again.
I flashed the images (boot.img twice) but without success. Still the same error (with normal booting aka without any special button combination or with button combination). The honor boots and stays in the bootmode aka bootloop with the led blinkin red. And I still can't boot into recovery via Vol+ and Power..
Any other suggestions?

Of all the things you have already tried, the only thing remains to take it to a Huawei service center.
May be someone else can help you here but I have read most of honor 6 and 7 posts and I don't think there is anything there for this problem atm.
Hmm, thx. That is bad...
I bought this phone in China when I was there for work. And I suppose that the german service of Huwaei will not help me at all with this phone.
Does anybody else have any clue how to bring the phone back to life?
Thx a lot.

I myself have an H60-L01, bought it from china, bricked and tried everything to revive it but could not, still have to try Huawei customer service in Pakistan, am not sure whether they will be able to help me or not, but will give it a try. I wish you luck buddy. Hope you find a solution.
It's alive ;o)
The phone is working again.
Here are the steps I did for everybody else confrontated with same problem:
1. Download your last working ROM or OTA-File: In my case the OTA-File OTA-EMUI 4.0_H60-L02-L12_B811_B823.zip from this Mega-Link:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!KwhlRKYR
2. Unzip the file and extract recovery.img and boot.img with the Huawei Update Extractor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454).
3. Boot the phone into fastboot mode (connect the USB cable, press the power button to turn off and immediately press the volume down button).
4. Use fastboot to flash the two images of 2. If you need fatsboot you can find it here http://www.mediafire.com/download/o5ruw752ked884u/adb+H60.zip (Extract adb.zip and copy the extracted files from 2. in the folder adb. In the adb folder run cmd.exe as administrator.)
5. Use this commands for flashing:
fastboot devices => If the device is recognized correctly it is displaying a series of numbers
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot reboot
6. Charge the phone with the Huawei charger, not via USB/PC! (50% is enough.)
7. Download in the meantime the Developer ROM H60_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_6.1.1.zip from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!6w5inQ6Z
8. Extract the zip file from 7. and copy UPDATE.app onto your SD-Card into /dload
9. Insert the SD without connecting.
9.1. Disconnect the USB cable from your PC or charger.
9.2. Press the Power button to turn off (maybe that is not necessary.)
9.3. When you feel the vibration press 3btn (Vol+ and Vol- and Power).
9.4. When the Honor logo appears connect your SD-Card (continue to press 3btn for 8 -10 more seconds) => Wait for the recovery process, it should start automatically.
10. After installation Android boots. Skip the first step installation (you should now have the 6.1.1. Developer-Edition installed). Rollback to Android 5.1.1 with the Rollback-File Rollback 591 EMUI3.0.zip from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9qrd8zm9280gy5e/Rollback+591+EMUI3.0.zip
Do do so put the unzipped UPDATE.app from the Rollback-File onto your SD-Card and do a local update via the Update Manager.
11. Boot into Android again (it will still be the 6.1.1 Developer Edition). In my case I want to install the latest Android 5.1.1 B535 from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!ztYliaxL!4gfyXozSW51eNahGZBDgBQ!6w5inQ6Z
I did it via local update again.
12.. After installation and booting => Voila here is your working Android 5.1.1 B535 again. Have fun
13. Brick it again with updating to Android 6.0
I hope I could help somebody with my experience to bring his/her phone back to life.
CU, mike

The bootloader is unlocked. Root is. Phone is loaded into the error! no func. func_boot_kernel. If you try to enter into the recovery, the error! no func. func_boot_recovery.
The error is the same as here club.huawei.com/thread-7962289-1-1.html
I tried to put EMUI4.0, then the phone stopped working. Through ADB stitched, weighting system, boot, recovery, cust.img. It shows all ok. But then the error again. He tried to put different versions of TWRP. On the 3 button also does not work.
Thank you for your attention to my problem.

You can't use 3 button with custom recovery and root. It wont work.
You need stock recovery in the same version as the rest of files used to flash other partitions.
Flash all stock partitions, then just boot the phone. Check if it works. Forget about TWRP and root for now. One thing at a time.
Nothing helps. I sew different versions via Fastboot. Everywhere all shows OK. However, when you restart the exact same mistake again ..

You can also try installing custom recovery and restore a twrp backup of ROM.

I got a problem at 9.3 or 9.4. The recovery wont start i see only honor logo i used PE_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_6.1.1.zip (as developer edition i.e sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP) and PE-UL00-V100R001CHNC00B200.zip to extract and flash BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img
any ideas why i can't enter in recovery? =(
EDIT: "fixed with DC-Phoenix tool"
Hey folks,
I've tried a few tipps others gave me here on xda, but nothing could fix my problem.
My situation looks like this:
I've been playing around w/ some TWRP versions and Custom ROMs,
and out of sudden my phone got soft bricked (stuck at the »Your phone is unlocked and can't be trusted« screen).
I was able to bring it back to life, via the Italian Knife and official stock ROM.
So, now I'm back at stock (NXT-L29C432B320) but my bootloader is still unlocked.
And it doesn't matter which TWRP version I flash, my phone won't boot into recovery,
so I'm not able to flash a Custom ROM.
If I try to enter the recovery mode it get stuck on »Your phone is booting now...« ... doesn't matter how long I wait, it won't boot.
If I flash a stock recovery, I can enter the Huawei eRecovery, but that doesn't help much.
Someone told me I have to lock my bootloader again to start the whole unlock / root stuff from scratch,
but if I try to lock it via fastboot it always fails w/ the »command not allowed« message.
The developer options & USB Debugging options are enabled and the Enable OEM unlock option, too.
Is there anything I can do or am I screwed?!
Btw, dload is not possible, 'cause the phone freezes if I try to do it from the dialer menu
and if I try to do it via the button combo, the phone just enters the Huawei eRecovery.

if you can give me an advice I would be really happy.
Do a dload of your region firmware
This should solve your problem
Put Update.app on SD card in dload directory.... use the latest firmware for your phone region or last used stock firmware.
Install SD card.
Power off.
3 button startup will install firmware on your phone and your phone will be stock and locked.
If you get :not compatible story you must adb and fastboot cust files using @somboons tools.
i had read your problems
it same as my problem so i flash with Decrypted & Insecure boot.img with adb fix via adb truely version 320or ver.......
links :http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/orig-development/kernel-insecure-boot-img-t3311306
after thats reboot if can not reboot must dload agains
wishing can help you
goodluck
Hi, after trying unlock my bootloader, I couldn't get into recovery mode without "Your phone cannot be trusted" getting stuck on my screen.
I re-locked the boot loader but now when I go into recovery it says "Data Partition is corrupted please format" then it asks me to connect to a wifi network which then just shows errors everytime the password comes up.
I tried to turn on USB Debugging to ADB sideload a firmware, but I can't because the phone has been resetted; if I try to enter a wifi password the keyboard doesnt show it's just the google voice (which doesn't work) with no options. If i skip the wifi option it just goes on the google login and gets stuck on "Checking Info".
Any solutions to the problem please?
EDIT: I just re-unlocked the bootloader and now its permanently stuck on "Your device cannot be trusted, booting now" regardless of what buttons I press during startup
EDIT 2: I fixed it, it was long and complicated but I got it to work, here's how.
1. When flashing TWRP, I realized I was flashing the TWRP for EMUI 4, so I flashed TWRP for EMUI 5. (Make sure Bootloader is unlocked)
First have all the adb/fastboot drivers, for windows shift + right click the folder and click "Open Command here"
Make sure the twrp img file is in the same folder as the adb folder.
On the honor 8 phone, if it is stuck like mine, turn the phone off and then hold Volume Down + Power Button until the download mode is on the screen
Type "fastboot flash recovery (twrpfilename).img"
Once it's done, turn it off and then hold power button + volume up AND volume down at once till TWRP comes on
(Continuously hold it, if the "Your Device cannot be trusted" screen comes on release)
2. (Make sure internal storage and data are backed up externally for this)
Reset system, data, cache/dalvik, and internal storage
3. Download Update.zip and the second .zip from a website on google, search Honor 8 Manual Nougat and click the link from smartstocknews (I can't post links) but do not follow the steps from that website, and also download GAPPS from open GAPPS. Make sure ARM64 is selected and not ARM as well as 7.0
4. After wiping, mount the Honor 8 by connecting it via USB to a computer, and press "Mount" on TWRP
Upload the both update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and GAPPS ARM64 7.0 to internal or external storage
5. Exit mount and go to install, install the zips in this specific order and do not reboot in between
A) Update.zip
B) Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
C) GAPPS.zip
6. Reboot after GAPPS is done (it might show already installed, if that's the case then it's alright, reboot anyways)
Download the 70mb package for firmware downgrade and the latest marshmallow firmware from your regional huawei's website.
Extract the small package and put the .app file in a folder called dload on the SD card and insert it in your phone.
Boot by holding volume + volume - and pressing power, holding all 3 buttons until the phone vibrates.
The package will flash and afterwards you repeat the process, this time using an .app file from the full marshmallow firmware.
The 70mb package installs not matter how messed up your file system is, and makes your phone ready for the MM firmware. This process brings any brick back to life. Good luck.
I too was trying to root my FRD-L04 and apparently used the wrong TWRP because now I get...
Code:
Unable to open ' ' to wipe crypto key
Unable to wipe Data
Unable to format to remove encryption
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
and I cant get the keyboard loaded so I can log into my wifi when I do a factory reset. I really have no idea how best to attack this...my phone is bricked I can get into TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery, sideload, and fastboot (i think). I am currently downloading the stock ROM for my device and will try to sideload it.
I feel I need to fix the data issues thought before trying to load the ROM as I dont think my data partition is working at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or a step-by-step guide on how to fix my bricked phone?
I've tried all sort of things today but no matter what, I cant get a keyboard working so I guess that means I'm screwed....
EDIT - my phone doesnt have a insertable SD card so I cant fix things the way the above poster suggests.

If you have nougat just flash the correct recovery from the twrp you already have. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563

This is truly one of the worse phones I have ever had when it comes to root and such. My frustration over what, for a unbranded unlocked phone that *should* probably SHIP with root, this phone has and is putting me through is super high.
That being said...so I flashed the new 3.1.0.0 recovery. Before doing that, I had just tried to Unbrick the phone with flashing B162 image with 3.0.3.0...so now the phone is totally frozen in the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." screen. Nothing I seem to do can get it out of this mode.
I want to install the rooted b378 boot.img file I just downloaded, but am unable to find the button commands to get the bootloader loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions in somehow trying to save the day with this damned phone?
much thanks in advance.
EDIT: So I got the phone in bootloader mode by pressing vol up/vol down/power and inserting the usb cable...i flashed the rooted boot.img and twrp 3.1.0.1 to both recovery and recovery2 and now i can get into recovery. I feel like I may actually have a chance now to fix this damn thing...
So can anyone point me in a direction where, from this point with the new recovery loaded and the modded boot image installed, where i can get this phone working?? ill use ANY ROM it dont really matter at this point...
Don't worry. It's really easy, once you know what to do, just realy easy to screw up if you don't. If your phone is a mess just roll back to android 6 using the procedure i described above. Once your phone works, update to nougat and install twrp and root following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
Same issue

Hi, after trying unlock my bootloader, I couldn't get into recovery mode without "Your phone cannot be trusted" getting stuck on my screen.
I re-locked the boot loader but now when I go into recovery it says "Data Partition is corrupted please format" then it asks me to connect to a wifi network which then just shows errors everytime the password comes up.
I tried to turn on USB Debugging to ADB sideload a firmware, but I can't because the phone has been resetted; if I try to enter a wifi password the keyboard doesnt show it's just the google voice (which doesn't work) with no options. If i skip the wifi option it just goes on the google login and gets stuck on "Checking Info".
Any solutions to the problem please?
EDIT: I just re-unlocked the bootloader and now its permanently stuck on "Your device cannot be trusted, booting now" regardless of what buttons I press during startup
EDIT 2: I fixed it, it was long and complicated but I got it to work, here's how.
1. When flashing TWRP, I realized I was flashing the TWRP for EMUI 4, so I flashed TWRP for EMUI 5. (Make sure Bootloader is unlocked)
First have all the adb/fastboot drivers, for windows shift + right click the folder and click "Open Command here"
Make sure the twrp img file is in the same folder as the adb folder.
On the honor 8 phone, if it is stuck like mine, turn the phone off and then hold Volume Down + Power Button until the download mode is on the screen
Type "fastboot flash recovery (twrpfilename).img"
Once it's done, turn it off and then hold power button + volume up AND volume down at once till TWRP comes on
(Continuously hold it, if the "Your Device cannot be trusted" screen comes on release)
2. (Make sure internal storage and data are backed up externally for this)
Reset system, data, cache/dalvik, and internal storage
3. Download Update.zip and the second .zip from a website on google, search Honor 8 Manual Nougat and click the link from smartstocknews (I can't post links) but do not follow the steps from that website, and also download GAPPS from open GAPPS. Make sure ARM64 is selected and not ARM as well as 7.0
4. After wiping, mount the Honor 8 by connecting it via USB to a computer, and press "Mount" on TWRP
Upload the both update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and GAPPS ARM64 7.0 to internal or external storage
5. Exit mount and go to install, install the zips in this specific order and do not reboot in between
A) Update.zip
B) Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
C) GAPPS.zip
6. Reboot after GAPPS is done (it might show already installed, if that's the case then it's alright, reboot anyways)

I pretty much have the same issue. No keyboard showing, just the stupid voice thing, and the Bootloader is Relocked. How did you get it fully unlocked. I can't get it. I guess let me get that resolved first (the bootloader) and I can try to go from there. Please help me.
UPDATE: Never mind I fixed it. I'm not really for sure how either but I think it mainly was just persistence.
Didn't work
Hello, so earlier today I tried to install RROS newest version in hope to get magisk/unrooting my phone because I'm addicted to snapchat and I rooted my phone with SuperSU earlier but didn't know u can't login to snapchat after that. It failed idk why, (I followed instructions very clearly and searched info from internet before doing that) causing me to brick my phone so when I booted it, it only showed black screen. After couple hours not finding way to get into twrp with my circumstances I managed to flash boot, recovery and system images, I tried to reboot and see what happens, (just in case, I kinda knew I didn't had ROM installed at the time, I also was hoping RROS to boot) nothing happened expect my phone got stuck in boot screen for booting EMUI, which was not installed obviously. Again after couple hours I stumbled to your post and managed to finally get myself into TWRP, I followed again ur instructions and everything was going fine, no erros, not anything. When Gapps was finished installing, I rebooted and again it just got stuck into booting screen. I did press and hold Power button, vol+, vol- and got myself into some kind of ROM installing screen, (hard to explain I don't exactly know what is name of it) and no it wasn't Huawei erecovery screen (Power button & Vol+ and no it didn't work me either saying that "getting package info failed") so in that ROM installing screen it just was stuck at 5% installing, and now I don't know what to do. My phone got locked again and I'm stuck at booting screen.
Note:
I don't have SD Card, should I get one and install stock rom?
Sorry for being kinda unclear but I'm tired it was 7 hours ago I got my phone bricked and have surfed on the web finding for answers ever since.
Also as you might notice, yes, I'm new to modding devices etc but still I'm not totally noob. Please help ASAP.
[SOLVED] So after hour of watching netflix as depressed teen I tried to reboot my phone again just in case, got stuck in booting screen. Then I held Power Button + Vol+ and got myself into EMUI stock recovery mode, I chose wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset, after that I rebooted my phone, it was stuck in booting screen for like 2 minutes but then it actually finished booting and now my phone is again functioning and god bless locked & unrooted.
My Honor 8 (FRD-L04) with official firmware (latest), unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery, ended in a boot loop
turns on, blue screen, gives the orange unlocked bootloader screen, loads animation and stays on blue screen with honor in white, dims screen and reboots
happened after tinkering around with Magisk and AppSystemizer
moved GPS Joystick to /system/app/ and enabled the options in app, rebooted my phone and it kept rebooting
I can get to fastboot and twrp,
I made the not so wise decision of a partial backup after installing twrp, only backing up Boot, Cache, System and Vendor (didn't have enough space for full)
I downloaded HuaweiUpdateExtraxtor and did the following:
1. Extracted the recovery.img from update.app
2. Fastboot flashed the extracted recovery.img
3. Copied the update.app to a folder named dload located on my uSD root
4. Unplugged and rebooted while pressing vol up, vol down and power
It loads the EMUI update screen says installing update, 5% and fails
tried those steps with B122, B141, B150, B162
Am I missing something?
I had a very similar experience about a month ago.
I was never able to get back to stock because the dload method failed on all my tries on my L04 at 5% so maybe I'm not one to say whether you're doing it correctly but that's the same method I've used that I found from multiple sources.
If you don't have a back up phone I'd suggest flashing twrp and going to a custom rom, aospa is working very well for me, otherwise I think the best bet is to wait for a new update and get that update.app because every link I've tried thats supposed to direct to hicloud L04 B385 update.app is broken, while the L09 links seem to work.
Edit: According to this guide , you should only be pressing volume up and power, so try that.
progress so far, I followed Rommco05 instructions and downloaded
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/d...ull/update.zip
from https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...tock-firmware-packages-honor-8-t3501942/page8
flashed TWRP and installed the first one through TWRP, when rebooted gave me a red exclamation! (can't remember what it said)
Downloaded B360 from
http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=FRD-L04&firmware_page=0
and copied the update.app to dload folder on uSD
vol up, vol down and power and it finally installed something, but was asking for storage password and keyboard was missing
read somewhere that the recently flashed firmware was trying to use the previous firmware storage or something like that and was fixed by deleting /data
so I went to erecovery (vol up, power) and wiped data... it fixed the storage password but it booted a weird firmware (very laggy, said it was B389 and had no keyboard!!! )
finally followed instructions on link provided by gophillyourself (Thanks!) and that rolled me back to B122!
