Honor 8 camera not working.

Hi guys, I have a question, with honor 8 I released the bootloader and twrp flash to put the rros, but after returning to emui I first put the original recovery and then I blocked the bootloader, after doing everything, I open it Camera and continues to close and open until you leave a black screen, do you have any idea what it may be? solutions?
Sorry for my english I used google translator.

give a try by extracting update.app and flashing stock firmware images in fastboot.It will mostly solve the problems.
Or if TWRP installed just make a clean flash with stock ROM.

Hi guys, thank you very much, it worked, but now I'm at the b360 how do i upgrade to the b380 or even better since it came out to the b389?
Sorry but through hisuite I do not notice any updates, even the phone, If I understand I should go from b360 to b380 then b381 and later I can install the b389 which is what i would like to install, getting to the point i can not even install The b380 through FF. Sorry if it is off topic.

It's cleaner, neater, and more attractive than EMUI4. However I read that EMUI5 has bad battery life especially on B380 firmware.

Need help with relocking bootloader

So i unlocked my bootloader on my Huawei Honor 8 lite, because i thought that it would be fun. After i unlocked it i installed twrp and magisk. Apparently my google apps have stopped working so i installed open gapps, apparently they didn't work either. So i tried factory reset, format data via twrp, nothing worked. After that i realised i don't even have contact list or even cell app. I tried to relock it with fastboot gave me an error saying not allowed. So here i am wondering if i could get my phone back to stock.
Ps: i'm underaged and still live with my parents and i only had this phone for about two months and there is ALOT of pressure on me right now, to tell them. So basicly i'm in the verge of a panic attack, i know childish to panic about these things.

U could try fixing this by flashing that older fimware but usually downgrading never works right. U'll probably have to take ur phone to a service center and have them fix it right up.
