Phone only boots to eRecovery and Rescue mode with errors - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have decided to open a thread to explain better my situation and make things more clear.
I first have unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
After that I have decided to go back to locked and unrooted because I needed to upgrade from v6.0 EMUI4.1 to 7.0 EMUI 5 and I have:
downloaded "FullOTA-MF-PV" version "FRD-L09C432B381" from "FF" (but I think it was the wrong version for me) and put to my internal storage
downloaded and used "unSU" to unroot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
flashed "boot.img" and "recovery.img" that I have extracted with "HuaweiUpdateExtractor" from TWRP
now the phone always boot to eRecovery and there is nothing I can do.
I can't enter recovery.
When I shut it down the phone and connect it to cable to charge it, it boots to "Rescue" with the following text: "Error! Func NO : 10 (boot.img) Error NO : 2 (load failed)" (I think this is bad) and after some time it boots to eRecovery again.
I tried to press "VOL+ / VOL- / POWER" while connected to PC and it enters "Fastboot&Rescue" but my PC does not recognize it well, indeed when I run "adb devices" from CMD it does not show my phone, the list is empty.
Now I have got a SDCARD and I have downloaded "rollback package" from Huawei Honor site and "B131 firmware" and first put only rollback "dload" folder to my card. I have inserted the card to phone, shut it down and pressed "VOL+ / VOL- / POWER" but it is stuck at Honor start blue screen and nothing happens.
(my SDCARD is FAT formatted, is it ok or do I need to change it?)
Please, please I really need help with this. The phone is new and I don't want to loose it.
Thanks a lot.

Sorry guys, fortunately I have solved.
The problem was with rollback version, I have deleted it from sdcard and put the other "B131 firmware" "dload" folder and the forced update worked.
Now I'm back to 6.0 and EMUI 4.1 with firmware B131.
Now the important thing is to update to 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 (don't want to make the same mistake I made before).
After that I'm not sure whether I still want to unlock bootloader and root, but if I decide to do that what guide do I have to follow when coming from 7.0 EMUI 5.0?
What do you think about following these steps:
download TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563, enter fastboot and run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-frd.img
enter recovery and flash Magisk v12 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
will it be enough or do I have to unlock run
Code:
fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]
again with same number I used before to register to huawei site?

Yes u must first unlock bootloader, yes same number

Ok, I have done oem unlock againt and installed TWRP.
After that I have flashed Magisk v12 and now it boots only to eRecovery so it did not work with Magisk.
I made a TWRP backup for v7.0 and now I have restored it so it working againt but I need root.
Could I maybe try with old SuperSU "v2.76-20160630161323.zip" method as explained here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946?
Or do you think it is better to try with newest SuperSU version?
It is weird the Magisk did not work.
Thanks

Supersu 2.79 dint gave bootloop for me on emui 5 . I hope it works for u too

Rommco05 said:
hm, I using Supersu 2.79 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563 without any problem, so I can recommend to use Supersu. Just small think, Google play want to update this Supersu (update is unsucessful) but I just disabled notification from for Supersu and all my stuff works

great it works thank you very much.
Just one thing: I want to restore all apps from a Titanium Backup folder. I have just copied it to H8 and selected that folder from TB 8.0.1 but it just hangs at 0%. I also tried to install it as a system app but no luck.
Do you know anything about that?
Now I'm trying to make a update.zip backup file with all apps and data from my old phone and I will try to restore in H8. Hope it works.
Thanks

Using titanium backup will result in bootloop
And from an old phone it never works. Dont go for it.

wow I did not know that.
When I switched from my old Samsung Galaxy to HTC One I use it without problem, just copied the folder with all apps and data from one phone to other and restored backups.
Why does it not work in this case with H8?

Its better u install .
I used to build various roms , i take a nandroid backup first . Test each rom one after the other and then restore the backup.
Sometimes if i find a rom much stable than the one i used before , i will stick to it and reinstall all the apps . Happens once in two days for me .
Kindly dont go with titanium backup as it access encrypted data partition which will result in bootloop

here is most ota updates:

i thought there is B805 to B506/B507 but it isn't
i think one way is to rollback to B835 and install B807 incremental then. but only thing i don't know is how to rollback to B835 there is one rollback in mega folder, but i'm not sure if it will return to B535.
these operations may cause brick imho ;d
so be sure to make a lot of backups

I guess you could try to boot into TWRP --> Wipe --> Format Data --> Ext4(if it asks)
Or try to re-install stock firmware with some official way or in TWRP by following this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702

Rollback from LineageOS ?

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask the Honor 8 community how to rollback from LineageOS back to EMUI. Indeed, i was surprised by the camera problems, accompanied by the lack of tethering, and these two problems are dealbreakers for me.
Basically, i would like to know how can i revert back to EMUI once on LineageOS/RROS/AOSPA. I believe it is the same procedure for all custom ROMs (more or less), and that asking this question might help others too
Thank you for your support.
Couple days ago i've done it this way.
1. Download rollback package and full package from honor website ( dont double my mistake, it MUST be package for your country/region).
2. Unzip rollback package and put dload folder with UPADTE.app inside ur sd card. Flash it buy pressing vol up + vol down + power buttons and dont release it till the operation begin.
3. Then do the same with full package. Dont double dload folders.
4. If Ur phone cant boot, Press vol up + power buttons. Factory reset + clear cache. Restart.
Now ur phone should boot and u can download EMUI 5.0 OTA update if u want. Ur phone bootloader is locked and u have no root aswell.

Thank you for the instructions, but are you saying that the bootloader will relock after flashing back to stock ? And if so, can I use the same unlock code?

Yup, I think so. Yesterday i boot my phone to bootloader by ADB and it was locked (no annoying message at boot anymore). And about the code, i'm pretty sure it is one code for one IMEI number so you will be able to unlock it with the same one.

LineageOS is great, no questions asked, but not currently because of the current deal-breaking bugs. I'm talking about Tethering not working, no dual-lens support (on all ROMs currently, but subject to change), and very little IR support.

Bootloader will relock if u revert back to MM just beacuse lot of things got changed in emui5 .
Even if u unlock bootloader on MM and try to update to nougat , it will relock bootloader again .
So keep ur unlock code safe

That would be great! I'm using L04/ and I came from the lastest update..
Everything was running just fine until I switched from aospa to lastest RR Rom and I must have messed something up and got stuck in a boot loop. After a while I got things up and running except now my reception is terrible. And of course I accidentally formatted my sdcard and lost my backup.
Rumor has it if I rollback to stock I can fix my reception problem.

Yes, but nothing happens. It's brings me to a screen that says it's installing which happens quickly and than it reboots to another similar screen and says resetting user preferences (something like that) and than it brings me back to a fresh new setup screen of the custom ROM.

Alright man, that's amazing!!! I'll let you know later on this evening how it turns out.. I'm busy with family for a while today. I really appreciate all your help!!!

Please Help! is my honor 8 dead?

Help. I have destroyed my device. I have installed EMUI 5.0. Then I installed twrp 3.1.1. Everything was fine. Then I have flashed a wrong supersu file. Now I only get into the fastboot mode and the "erecovery". The TWRP 3.1.1 I can not flash. It means i can flash it with adb, but the device always boots into the system. My smartphone hangs in the bootloop. (After Honor logo it restarts again and again) What can I do? How can a go back to stock? Or flash twrp without booting the system after flashing twrp? Hope someone can help me

Boot to erecovery, select the first option. It will download and install your stock firmware.

so for enter to twrp : unplug your phone usb/charge and turn device off. So now, turn on with button combo: hold vol up + on/off, when u see blue scree honor, release on/off button but still continue holding vol+
Just to be sure...

There is a way with ADB and fastboot. Download an appropriate firmware file for your mobile, then using Huawei Update Extractor, flash the image to their respective partitions.

Fastboot is the best option for now

That's great. Yes you can upgrade. No need to use a different TWRP and SuperSU. Just be sure to mount Vendor partition when flashing SuperSU.

Flash TWRP from [url="https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563/page1]HERE,[/url] then boot to recovery. You'll see an option there called Mount, click that and you'll see a checklist of mountable partitions. Just check on Vendor before you flash SuperSU.

How unbrick Honors 6x BLN-L21 only from adb (solved with update.app files)

Hi everyone,
I've just tried to root my honor but i get stuck on the black screen "you device is booting..." and i can't do anyting, i reboot all the time on this screen, the only thing i can do is to boot on the fastboot mode...
Can i rollback to a stock rom from there ? My Bootloader is unlocked and FRP is unlock.
Do you know a guide step by step to reinstall stock rom from adb ? I can't find.
Thanx

try to flash openkirin TWRP
or
flash stock recovery and place update.app in dload folder and flash it using combination key
Hi,
Thanx for the answers, the solution is to copy the update.app files on the sd card and reboot pressing all the buttons... I came back with a bootloader locked and fresh rom...
I've tried to root again but the same result ... Your device is booting....and noting.
Sometimes when you root, it takes 2 to 3 reboots (it bootloops, and then it'll be good)

Before you root, make a TWRP backup first so you can revert back just in case. What is the file you're trying to flash?

I try to flash my recovery with adb, I think have the good twrp file (3.1.1-0.img), I've tried with older twrp file , but it doesn't work...

For emui 5, 3.1.x is the correct version.
For Emui 4, 3.0.x is correct.

From B361 to B130? You need to rollback, dunno if flashing will works. For root you can choose which package to use, Magisk or SuperSU. Personally i recommend Magisk.

Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately I don't have a rollback package for my device, I don't know why but my device is a BLN-L21C185 which doesn't accept the rollback package of Berlin and Italy too. I have tried them both a long time before but they didn't work for my and gave wrong version error. As far as the rooting and flashing an older version of the firmware has been possible on other devices but I really don't have any idea for the 6X or may be you call it Nougut.
