Stuck with bootloader/eRecovery - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Some context:
My MHA-L29C432B138 with TWRP got an OTA update on the phone itself, and I wanted to update (it wanted me to update to B182).
Since I had TWRP replacing the stock recovery I could not flash it through the normal way, so I went ahead to replace TWRP with the stock recovery so I could update.
I was unable to flash the stock recovery since I had no access to flashing in fastboot (FRP Lock, PHONE Unlocked, OEM unlocking option greyed out in developer settings), so I attempted to relock so I could unlock again, hoping that would solve my issue (fastboot oem relock KEY).
By doing this my phone went into a reset, now I'm stuck at FRP Lock, PHONE Relocked, and I can only access the bootloader and eRecovery.
eRecovery is attempting to download updates but fails every time, and I can't use HiSuite to do a system recovery neither (says my device is not supported).
So this is where I'm stuck, any help would be nice!

Try to unlock after this.
This does low-level format.
My device: Mate 9 supersu B190 Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)

Everything in fastboot (flashing, locking, unlocking) was unavailable, eRecovery was not working, HiSuite said my device was not supported, and dload didn't work neither (tried 3 different firmware versions).
After spending 1-2 hours on Telegram with others I ended up using funkyhuawei with eRecovery, only thing that worked for me.
Last time I buy a Huawei device for sure, their own services don't even work (eRecovery, HiSuite).

As I said here, for your case the patched HiSuite method would have worked. But it's too late now, you paid, I was in holidays.. I know it's a shame that HiSuite says unsupported or erecovery not working but you could have made your phone compatible by writing some text in a file and using Lucx's script instead of paying funkyhuawei, their service never worked for me.

I could fix my phone flashing a factory firmware using DC Phoenix (Yes, I have to pay).
I Flash MHA-AL00 first, then I use eRecovery to install the latest stock firmware and finally HCU Client to repair the empty board (IMEI, S/N, MAC, etc).

But i received it trough the system update using firmware finder and even it authenticated itself. Even installed it with no problem. Then suddenly it broke and after soft brick became hard brick nothing. Now it in service centre i hope they can fix it. It is under warranty. pray for me

The phone connect to my WIFI but thats all. The error is Getting package info failded! So what can i do to solve this :fingers-crossed::good:

I flashed the C432B186 with HWOTA methode. First i Unlock the bootloader in adb, let low factory reset running, after the reboot i boot in bootloader again and start the HWOTA tool and let install the TWRP, then i unplugged my phone and boot in TWRP and choose "Swipe for Modification" (that is nowhere mentioned, because when you choose "Keep read Only" it will failed, at least on my phone, don't know whether it fail on every phone), then i plugged the phone in again and did the steps that HWOTA tool shows me and it works perfect. After the first boot up i boot in Recovery with adb command and the option for factoy reset in eRecovery is back :good:

I just was able to use eRecovery to go back to stock (and upgrade from B180 to B190 on USA model MHA-L29C567).... so it did work for me.
I had the same problem. Actually it can be solved quite easily. reboot the system with a United States SIM card insert, then shutdown the system, enter eRecovery again, now everything works as perfect as before. I think Huawei judge your location by the SIM card you use.

hi GraveDigger176 , is there anyway to unlock the bootloader w/o the unlock codes?
I've tried a lot but no success, the new hisuite even flashes the update rom but after reboot it goes back to eRecovery. (Chinese mate9)
thanks.

As far as i know you need a unlock code, but Huawei didn't give any code since 1 or 2 month. On the other hand i sold my Mate 9 a couple of days after the Problem was solved :good:

honor 8 bricked bootloop

Hi, I have a honor 8 that bootloops I can only access to fastboot not in bootloader or recovery. Bootloader is locked, i can't flash anything and i can't unlock it because I don't have the Product ID. The dload and three fingers method doesn't work. What can I try to unbrick it? I can't even turn it off.

Which number of firmware you tried via dload??
Which firmware number you were on before issue??
When you say that the dload method doesn't work, what do you get when you try it ? You have to flash the proper firmware for your phone, otherwise it will deny it, you can maybe use a rollback package.
Try the Huawei tool ... U can fix it easily and you can play around don't panic it's the first thing ...

Maybe you are doing it wrong. As long as you have a stock boot.img and a stock recovery you should be able to use this method.

If you mean Hisuite I already tried it. my PC detects the phone and hisuite launches by itself but then doesn't detect any phones. when I try the rescue tool "resuce mode enter..." appears on the screen but then hisuite says that the phone isn't compatible with the rescue mode.

I think he doesn't mean hisuite but Huawei multi-tool, which is available on xda forums and enable to recover from a brick

Alright I think this is a good point , now that you can use the dload method you need to know under which EMUI version you were because the phone won't accept a firmware that is lower or to high compared to your actual EMUI version.
What I did when I was in your case is flashing a rollback package downloaded from honor official site and then flash an old EMUI which is under Android 6.x.
After a few tries you can make it, I hope I've been clear, English isn't my native language

Thanks a lot for your help but I don't really know how but while I was trying to go back to the erecovery menu the phone just boot up and it worked. I did a factory reset because the phone was a bit laggy and now it works.

Ok here i go ... Open the Huawei tool ... And follow steps to install TWRP ...turn of the phone , once it's off hold the volume button down then connect the phone to the PC that would take to some type of fastboot ! Flash recovery the 2 option .... Reboot into TWRP .. from the Huawei tool u would see and option of stock i think there u can copy the recovery OEM info system and boot option flash them all one by one .... Reboot the phone ... And you would be redirected to recovery from WiFi and now it would work since u flash the OEM info now the phone knows what to look for u won't get the getting info failed ... And that's it just makes sure u have a good stable WiFi connection ...
And like a said the more calm and relax u do these the better the first time I screw the phone I almost get a heart atack :crying: it's easy
Unable to get Product ID - Honor 8

My Honor 8 broke after it downloaded and installed the very first update. Since the failed 'update' I am NOT able to access Android at all. The phone was stuck on the Huawei eRecovery screen which fails to connect via wi-fi and is unable to connect or retrieve any information from the server to update and repair the phone. I was able to use a 'roll-back' package and install the stock firmware (FRD-AL10), but since I have done the roll-back and restored the stock firmware the phone boots to the first screen where you select your 'Region', then the 'Language', WiFi connection, Agree to the Terms & Conditions, then skip the following steps for Cloud and something else - after all this it goes back to the 'REGION' selection screen, then again the Language selection screen and so on - it just loops and never boots into Android.
Thus I am unable to get the Product ID, the unlock code, etc.
The phone is still locked and UNrooted as all the other solutions rely on the phone being UNlocked and Rooted - but since I DON'T have access to Android I cannot do anything with the phone.
Can someone help me to retrieve the Product ID from an essentially 'DEAD' Honor 8 phone??

I have followed this 'dload' process to load the stock 'FRD-AL10 - ...C00B135' onto my Honor 8, it completes successfully then the phone reboots to where I have to select the Region, then Language, then WiFi, then agree to the Agreement, etc.. then the phone 'loops' back to the Region, Language, WiFi, selection and everything from start.
Is there a way to get past this 'loop' to the point where the phone actually boots into Android?? I cannot access the Product ID, unlock or root the phone.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]
Hello to everyone!!
I have a problem with my Honor 8, it is the FRD-L09 model firmware B394.
I installed Firmware Finder from Playstore and tried to downloaded the B402 version, it downloaded a lot of packages ota and then tried to install the update without success.
After that, when I turn on the phone, there is this message. If I push the power button the phone starts.
I don't know if it can be useful but if I go into fastboot mode the phone says: phone unlocked and frp locked, but I haven't unlock the bootloader. The phone is new, purchase from the honor site.
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT: I was able to resolve the problem with the rollback guide of huawei, flashing MM via dload!!
When you update with FF, I recommend to use the change DNS thing. Just for the future.

You can try to reinstall EMUI on it. There is a guide called "back to emui from custom roms", which requires the openkirin twrp, though. Anyway, did you check that you have firmware access with IMEI?

Yes, I checked it before start the update
EDIT: Can I use the restore option into Hisuite?
When using either option, in System Update press the 3dot menu and select full package. This will download one large update rather than the multiple OTA files.

Typically you get this problem when you install an update without locking the bootloader.. This happened with me couple of weeks back.. I think happens, cos during the process of the update the bootloader gets locked, but it doesnt come up on the fastboot (donno why)
I just unlocked the bootloader using the OEM code and voila it worked... I was able to get ride of this message as well as root the phone.. Do try and let me know!

Unbrick Eml-l29

Hello everyone
I brick my phone huawei P20 during a handling error.
I'm not doing backup system unfortunately.
I have the bootloader unlocked and I still have twrp.
Actually I have screen that appears "error mode Warning please update system again error! Func no: 22 up a factory data reset"
I tried all the methods (dload with recovery but it puts me software installed failed.
I tried the method with the fastboot (system, kernel, ramdisk ...).
I have also tried since twrp but it only error.
But I'm not sure to take the good frimware ...
I almost want to use funky huawei but I do not want to pay for anything since there is no way back.
Could huawei be able to get me back in the state but if the sevice will be paid as my guard jumped
All the info I have is that I have EML-L20 build 8.1.0.103
it's a phone bought from a French operator
Thank you for helping me
Download the latest full update for your device and look for the following in google. It worked for me (HuRUpdater_0.3) is for honor 9 but it does not matter. In the post it tells you how to rename your three files.
A big thank you to you, his walked after a week of searching thank you thank you

Honor 8 sort of half rooted?

Hello, first of all i want to say that i don't understand a lot of those thing, i'll just try to explain myself as best as i can but if you don't understand something just ask and i'll rephrase it somehow.
I have an EU FRD-L09. When i bought it i tried to root it because i couldnt mute the sound of the whatsapp camera. I did some things (it was a long time ago, i don't remember precisely what) and the phone was in a state where superSU told me that there was no root, but at the boot i always got the message "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted etc.. ". I was tired so i left it like this until now, the only thing that mattered is that i could use the phone. Now, i want to update from FRD-L09C432B380 to FRD-L09C432B389 (and then hopefully to android 8) but i just can't. When i try to update it, either from the phone or from hisuite it reboots and get stuck in the "your device has been unlocked" state with "your device is booting now..." forever. The only thing i can do is to go in erecovery and reboot. I also tried to restore from erecovery but it says that "Getting package info failed". Restoring from the settings does the same as trying to update. Somebody know what can i do?
I Don't think you ever rooted the phone. From what you said, you only unlocked the bootloader (phone cannot be trusted message on boot). Have you tried dload method to get the system to stock and then updating through HiSuite? (AFAIK This will wipe system and data)
I read about it and i will try it. Should i flash the rollback package from android 7.0 to 6.0 or directly the 6.0 firmware? Right now i am on emui 5.0 android 7.0.
P.S. so i can't update the phone in any way with the bootloader unlocked?
