bricked - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I've got a problem with my Mate. I wanted to update my smartphone to Nougat (My Mate is C636 B170) and I updated to B180 using Firmware Finder from Google Play without any problems. Then, I choosed B193 (I think) and something went wrong. Now i can only enter recovery, eRecovery or fastboot. My phone isn't rooted and bootloader is locked. I've tried to use rayglobe knife and SRKTool. Nothing helped. I can't flash via dload, update just doesn't start. In DC Unlocker I see, that my firmware is C900B172 (!) I don't know what to do know? Any ideas? (sorry for my English)

Unlock your bootloader and then unpack with Huawei Firmware Extractor from UPDATE.APP of B172 the following files: boot.img, recovery.img, recovery2.img, system.img, userdata.img and fastboot every single one into your device with the commands «fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img» and so on. It should be back on track.

How can I do that? I can't run my phone, so I'm not able to get Product ID and my Huawei ID that I made to get this code has only a few days. When I connect my phone in fastboot mode to PC and run DC Unlocker, there is only FRP erase and Network unlock whick is inactive.
EDIT: BTW, any B172 link? I can't find any active. My Mate is L29 of course.

Ok, I think I'm one step closer. Earlier I didn't see that there is a Mate 8 in "Select model" in DC Unlocker. Now, the problem is that when I click "Read bootloader code" response is:
Reading bootloader code...
unknown error (359)
What can I do with that?

Hello!
I'm still trying to fix my Mate. I know that flashing B320 via DC Phoenix but B320 is impossible to find :/ Can I flash any other firmware?
Now, when I reboot my device this is how it looks like :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can enter into fastboot mode, so I believe that there is still a chance for my phone
Any ideas?

up
Can I flash any other firmware like C636B170 or any which is posiible to download? Please help, because I don't know if I can use my bricked Mate as a hammer or still trying to bring him back to life.

Anyone? Anything?

HELP! I think i bricked my phone...

I wanted to try the android n beta out. so i unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp and flashed this beta through twrp.
but there i made the mistake not to decrypt my storage. but it worked. i used this beta for around a week and then a new version came out. i just wanted to boot to twrp and flash it, but i couldnt.
so i thought i just roll back to emui 4.1 which i used before, install twrp again, deecrypt the storage and everything works well.
but something didnt work as i wanted. so now i cant boot into twrp or in any rom, just into erecovery, fastboot and into the warning screen where it wants, after some minutes to install a update, which i cant dload, bcs i cant enter my sdcard..
bootloader is unlocked, frp too

Need help to Unbrick Huawei mate 8 NXT-L09C185

Hi, this is my first post on XDA after following it closely for a few years.
I currently have a problem with my Huawei Mate 8 after trying to get a custom ROM up and running.
I have unlocked the Bootloader (verified with fastboot) via fastboot after getting the code from DC-Unlocker.
I then flashed TWRP custom recovery successfully. This is when i made a mistake.
I accidentally wiped something i should not have under advanced wipe after trying to get twrp to read storage.
After this i could no longer go into TWRP and the phone would try to boot after showing the unlocked bootloader warning only hanging on a black screen.
Only fuctions I can access is Fastboot Mode and Erecovery (Which I tried to recover from but it would only return a "Cannot find package information error" after trying to retrieve it.
I then tried to unpack an official firmware from the Huawei stock firmware thread and install the pieces separately. This is where I am stuck.
Via fastboot all .img packages i needed succeeded except for "cust.img" giving me an error: "remote: sparse flash write failure" and when trying to erase cust.img i get "Command not allowed"
I hope it can be saved.
Use srk tools to and use unbrick method. It will work for you.

FirmwareFinder fail. Please help me the cheapest way to recover my phone.

I don't know why. I used erecovery with FirmwareFinder many time and it work all times.
But 1 day before, I unlocked bootloader, flash patched ramdisk.img (Magisk), and then reboot again. But then it meet bootloop, bootloader relocked, FRP lock. But this time, when I use Firmware Finder to recover, it cannot work, erecovery failed when getting package. I checked all step.

My mate 9 is briked in i install the last firmware oreo b369... Firmware finder
Please help me! 41$ for 5 credits FunkeyHuawei is too much for me. Could I buy 1 credit to flash firmware?
Are you still having issues, if so, have you been able to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery? If you have I think I may be able to help you
@shae23: Thanks. If I have been able to unlock bootloader, I don't need to creat this thread. I had to bring it to a service shop (Viet Nam), it cost about 6.5$ US to reflash firmware.
someone know what to do ?!!
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the recovery, the system booted successfully.
I tried to flash a ROM after that, it showed errors and didn't complete the flashing. since that time the phone has bootloop.
Unlocked bootloader and FRP
fastboot oem get-build-number : MHA-L29 8.0.0.374(C185)
I can access the TWRP recovery and erecovery and bootloader&fastboot
what I have already tried :
1-Fastboot flash ramdisk and kernel .
2-Tried to flash the stock firmware via TWRP.
3-Tried HurUpdater0.3
4- Extract update.app & HOWTA
5-Flash ramdisk and kernel from inside TWRP
Update: I can not access the recovery anymore. its just stuck at stock recovery with EMUI 0%
Tried to flash stock and custom recovery, but no luck
Update 2: I somehow managed to get into recovery. recovery is good now.
BUT still no luck with booting, I feel it's something stupid that I missed
Did you try this way?

Need help to get into EDL mode - PANASONIC ELUGA Z1

Hello. Some months ago I have I have tried to root my phone "Panasonic Eluga Z1". I unlocked the bootloader.
Then I tried to flash twrp recovery. But in fastboot mode I by mistake, entered wrong command: fastboot flash boot twtp.img
instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. [coz= noobliness]
Moreover the twrp was not for my model it was for Panasonic Eluga Ray (like this).
Just after the flashing was successful my phone stop responding to any key, it is dead. no response.
However just when I connect the phone to pc it shows response in device manager, sometimes PreLoader USB VCOM Port (COM5) and sometime MTK USB Port (COM4).
(I have attached a file below for more detail)
I have of course tried flashing stock firmware with sp flash tool, but got no success. Before I did it without removing battery, now I try flashing without battery by sp flash tool. It shows several errors which vary conditionally. Errors be like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A more detailed file explaining these conditional errors is atteched here: [see attached detail.txt]
May be because, the bootloader thinks twrp is the actual boot image so the phone starts booting into twrp and the twrp dont know how to handle itself as boot image coz actually is a recovery.
I think going to edl mode is the way left for me. But I cannot guess where can be edl test point in my phone:
Please suggest something
Hi I started this thread today and thankfully today only I solved the issue. Sucessfully entered into edl mode without messing with edl test points.
For those members who are getting any sp flash tool error / hard bricked issue with any of the mediatek phone. I'll suggest trying below thread.
ALL THANKS TO XDA
solved my hardbricked / bootoader curropt issue.
