Need help. I think its dead.

I have an AL-10 64GB mate 8. I wanted to turn it to the iternational ROM to have google apps. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/howto-load-international-mate-8-t3293619
Afte flashing with fastboot commands the files my phone doesn't boot up. It shows the warning screen because it is Unlocked but I doesn't boot in menu.

There isn't a boot.img in the thread there. Where do I find it?

So I thought to try myself something... I flashed the oldest boot.img from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/orig-development/kernel-insecure-boot-img-t3311306 (B156 FLASHABLE IMG). The only difference now is that it remains stuck at the warning scrren. Previously that screen would dissapear and the phone would be total black.

Also I downloaded the update.app from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/nxt-l09-nxt-l29-stock-rom-b133-download-t3311839 of L29. Extracted boot,cache,cust,system,recovery,userdata from that package and flashed all files with fastboot. Everything successful but still stucked at warning screen.

try this first
1- go to recovery then factory reset then reboot if not booting so try this method below (use same update.app file)

Download the update file
Extract
Folder "dload" at the root level of the memory Share (internal or external).
Update.app in the folder "dload" Copy
As Huawei has removed the item "Local Update" from the update program, you must do the following:
Option 1: update via ForceUpdate
Switch off
Simultaneously Power + Volume Down + volume Louder press until the update starts

dload doesn't work. I did manage to install TWRP though... Will try to flash a custom ROM

So I managed to make it boot using DarkSilentSC instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...ng-to-b321-t3375934/post66776218#post66776218
Only 2 problems left. First the memory shows 4GB rather than 64GB and there is no theme support. Any idaes?

hmmm....try and go to recovery and format the data partition, maybe that helps.... just make sure u dont have any important data on the phone before u do that

Data partition is:
TWRP - wipe - advanced wipe - tick data and slide to start?

Nevermind I did it thanks to jbmc83. The solution for anyone that has the same problem is to format data partition. It's in twrp-wipe the right button. Thanks to jbmc83 and to all that helped me!!

yep thats correct although i think ull have to type "yes" in order to start it. in any case, just follow the screen instructions! also, be aware that this takes a lot of time, so wait at least half an hour before giving up ^^ let it run its course!
edit: ah ok, i just saw that it worked! glad it did

Yes, if you can go into bootloader mode, kindly run these commands and report back what are the results.
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem get-build-number

Model FRD-L09
I update from B131 to B360, using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70396400&postcount=547 but my /data was encrypted so I format data
Now I don't have anymore access to twrp idk why. And I have no keyboard, and when I click on developer option to enabling usb debugging, It instantly close the menu.
So now I have no acces to twrp/bootloader and i'm on B360 with no keyboard/develloper option bugged :'(
I want to restore stock B131, and I tried this using dload method, but it fail at 7%
I used this file [https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=129652, I think it's the good file

I think i know what you have done wrong, you didnt flashed the rollback package.
Here you have the rollback package for your device http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92134&version=363841&siteCode=it-h
Here you have the firmware, just to be sure it's the corect one http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92104&version=360397&siteCode=it-h
Now the proces is simple.
First, unzip the rollback package, copy the update.app to dload folder and do the force update (Press and hold Volume UP+Volume Down+Power Button)
Second do the same things but now with the update.app from the B131 firmware zip.
DONT PUT BOTH update.app at once. First the rollback update.app and then the B131 update.app.

I had some strange things at BUILD when i flashed the rollback too, but there wasnt any problem. So when i flashed the B131 everything was fine. Try doing a factory reset on B300 and then flash again the B131. I dont know what to say more, but here is why you have this problems,because you tried to flash B131 over B360....

Yes I did some factory reset and wipe but still fail when I install B131 :/

Do you think there is a solution ?
Or I should go on customer service

There is always a solution, don't get panicked. Remember that once you unlocked your phone your warranty got voided. So I don't think Huawei's customer service will give you any advice with your problem.
Try following this:
Can you get into "bootloader"?
If yes, try to extract the needed image files from the B360 update that you used before and follow this guide provided by @eksasol https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70620803&postcount=9
This video gives you an idea on how to use the Huawei Firmware Extractor Tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAtoaL6i_i0
A good note of advice I'll give you my friend. If you get to fix your phone once more, don't tried anything else on it until you are more proficient on how to solve problems by searching and learning from other members' experiences. Use the forum's search tool and you'll find many posts related to your question. I've been helping you through private messages for several issues so far. Don't take me wrong but even though we members like helping others we can't be your private customer care consultants. Hope you can recover your phone's functionality once more.
Regards,

I don't have acces to bootloader, since the developer option is bugged and i can't enabling usb debugging, so i can't reboot on bootloader

As far as I know you don't need the debugging option to access the bootloader and use the "fastboot" commands to push the image files.
Just turn off your phone connect it to your computer and use the "Volume down + power on" procedure to get into bootloader.
On the other hand, if for some reason the "OEM unlocking" option was disabled in your phone's /settings/developer options/ then that's gonna be a problem I think, but I'm not a 100%. This might not let you flash the image files through fastboot. Try it and let me know.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I wrote. Let me clarify myself, to get to bootloader you turn off your phone first, then by pressing "volume down/power on" simultaneously until you feel the phone vibrating and see the blue screen. This should get you to the bootloader.
---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
Remember to connect your phone first to your computer using the usb/type C cable before attempting to go to the bootloader. I you fail to do this the phone will just reboot normally.

ok it's worked ^^
I will do the Huawei Firmware Extractor Tool tomorrow
I also install twrp since i have acces to bootloader

Good. But I don't think flashing TWRP will work but give it a try. I know this from my own experience. What you really need is to flash the recovery.img from the B360 update.zip using fastboot command. That way you'll be able to use the dload method and flash the rollback update.app and after that the update.app from the B131 full zip. That should get you back to stock.

So I extracted and flashed via fastboot boot.img, system.img, recovery.img from B360( there are no cust.img in the archive)
After I wipe and reboot. Then install rollback update.app, then update.app B131 but it fail at 25%
But now menu working good and I oculd install a keyboard and do what i want. Maybe i will just stay like this. All is working and i'm on B360. It doesn't matter if I have no root

how to restore my emui

Honor 8 total brick !

Hello guys !
First of all, thank you to you all for all the help i've already found on the forum.
I've got an Honor 8, and I tried to flash it for solving battery drain.
After several attempts and almost get there, now the phone is totally bricked.
Here some useful information:
- Bootloader in unlocked
- When in fastboot mode, Fastboot recognize my device but not ADB. I tried installing several drivers but nothing
- Flashing different recovery from fastboot don't work. I mean, it works but the device don't enter in recovery mode ( stuck in Your device is booting now....)
When try to install an update.app from stock recovery, i get error, both unable to find the package and unable to verify the package content.
When first I wasable to get in TWRP, when trying flashing a rom, it alwayg gaves me error like UNABLE TO MOUNT /DATA or /CACHE.
I think I really messed up with partitions and now everything seems doesn't be able to get into the phone.
I started yesterday, still here....
I guess dozens of users encountered same problems, I've tried everythinh from the forum but nothing worked....
Someone has any idea ? Cause my girlfriend will soon kill me.....

Yeah, even with volume up and power. It stuck on boot.
I've tried the most common fix, tried several twrp and rom. Same for update from SD, tried everything, différents rom, rollback....

Nothing...

It starts in automatic update mode. When trying to connect to WI-FI and download, an error message appear, seems unable to found the update.
When trying to update from SD, several update.app has failed.
When trying to clean all data from Emui recovery mode, the first 2 attempt stops at 7%, the third stops at 99%. Every time i have tried...
I really think is a partition issues, something that don' let the firmware recognize the phone and get the update

Yeah the rollback package revives any brick. I've been through it all once and this will fix any mess so find a way to flash it.
By the way to access recovery you need to have your phone not plugged to USB (that's the bit i was missing for a long time) With your phone completely off (you can turn it off from the eRecovery (vol+ vol- power) ) hold vol+ & power and when the phone vibrates let go off the power and just hold vol+
http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92131 and then flash B131 fw
http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92101
if you can't get into recovery use huawei firmware extractor and get a recovery.img from one of those firmware packages and flash it via fastboot mode.

did you extract the rollback package?
and yes important to put extracted update.app into dload folder on SD and unplug your device while doing this
if not flash stock recovery, system and so one with huawei extractor from your current running rom
you can enter fastboot mode, turn off your device and hold volume down + power, try this with plugged or unplugged device, but must be turned off..if this helps enter fastbootmode, then flash the extracted images

Update process:
1. Unzip [extract] the update.zip to the SD card into the dload folder (if folder is not present, create it yourself)
2. In the phone app, enter the combination *#*#2846579#*#*, then select "Software Upgrade" and
The update from SD start
3. Delete the data in the dload folder
4. Repeat point 1-3 with the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
5. WipeCache (personal recommendation)

Honor 8 weird glitch wont let me pass setup

Hi I just bought my honor 8, i unlocked my bootloader, then tried flashing twrp, it said it worked, but it just went to EMUI recovery. I must of flashed the wrong one, it was the american one from twrp.me. I am on emui 5.0. So then i went to developer option and accidently clicked revert to default settings, which turned off my oem unlock. so this turned FRP lock back on. I had the bootloader still unlocked so i tried flashing surdas twrp this time, and it failed. so i rebooted my phone and it went to the recovry and said it got seriously data corrupt or something and said to repair so i did, then i rebooted and it went to setup. but now it wont let me get through the setup because i cant type.. it just brings up google voice typing. So somethings messed up.
Model is FRD-L14
Emui 5.0
the bootloader is currently locked.
FRP lock is on.
I can get to fastboot, recovery and it boots up to setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I don;t know how i can fix this.
Is there any way i can flash stock rom and recovery in like download mode or something?
I have simlar issue to this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/help-keyboard-google-voice-t3629372

I dont understand how I downgrade. I have a locked bootloader and no custom recovery.

Use a sdcard and create a directory "dload". In this directory first place the rollback UPDATE.APP. Use the 3-button combo to enter dload mode. Then once done change that UPDATE.APP with the B130 (EMUI 4.1) UPDATE.APP of your device. Again enter dload mode and you should have successfully downgraded.
You can now upgrade from software updater to EMUI 5.0.

Download the rollback from above and after extraction copy the UPDATE.APP file into the dload folder. Once done replace this with the B120/B130 UPDATE.APP.
You don't need to extract the UPDATE.APP but extract the update.zip which would give you the UPDATE.APP to be copied into the dload folder.

once i do all of this, and then after i update my emui to 5.0. How exactly do I properly install twrp? lol.
I figured out how to unlock my bootloader, but i don't know how to install the proper twrp version without bricking my device. Then i'd be installing a lineage os rom after i have twrp, which i know how to do from using my galaxy s4 .

Once you are on emui 5.0, make sure you enable developer options and keep the oem unlock option ON. Then enable usb debugging and reboot to fastboot using your PC and typing "adb reboot fastboot".
Once in fast boot mode, first unlock your boot loader using "fastboot oem unlock CODE". This will prompt for a factory reset and once done repeat the above in developer options and enter fast boot mode again. You can simply type "fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img" where the recovery.img is the one you download from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
Voila you have successfully flashed twrp and now can flash whichever rom you want.

Once you are on emui 5.0, make sure you enable developer options and keep the oem unlock option ON. Then enable usb debugging and reboot to fastboot using your PC and typing "adb reboot fastboot".

I've come into a problem. I've installed twrp and everything, but now im trying to flash a lineageos rom. when i try to wipe and format the data it says it failed: failed to mount /data device or resource busy unable to mount storage.
I went into mount and i have cache, vendor, and micro sdcard selected. also "mount system partition read-only" selected aswell. my storage selected says 0 MB.
Any idea what to do?

Make sure you turn off FRP lock.

If you have FRP locked it is because you didn't enable OEM Unlock in EMUI 4.1

I fixed the issue. FRP was already unlocked. But I just advance wiped the data on those and it fixed the issue. Thanks man. Do you know what the most stable 7.1.2 ROM is? Cause I just used the lineageos 14.1 one and it randomly reboots on me when I have music playing, actually its just random in general.

I have come into a bit of a problem. I turned off or unlocking in developer options, then I rebooted my phone and it just bootlooped. So I did the thing you told me to do before with the roll back and the 4.1 emui. That all went fine, but after it finished installing 4.1 and restarted it's in bootloops still :/

Honor 6x BLN22 Semi Bricked! Help!

Hi! This is my first post and going to be a long one! But kindly excuse me! I need HELP!
I have Semi bricked my Honor 6x firmware (bln-l22, android 6.0, emui 4.1, c675b132, india channel) while trying to manually update it to Nougat which I downloaded from "stechguide.com/honor-6x- b360-nougat-update". I downloaded the Asian version. I accidentally extracted and flashed update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip instead of the update.zip first. The update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip file got to 100% installed and then went to Huawei eRecovery. Then I couldn't flash the update.zip. I get a software install failed. Also tried to manually flash to stock Rom and other newer update versions of Nougat on SD card again but I get software install failed or Incompatible for this phone. I tried to factory hard reset but this also fails. I can wipe only the cache and reboot which goes again to eRecovery. The eRecovery on wifi does not work either. I looked up booting to safe mode but nothing happens.
After reading a lot on this forum, I tried minimal adb and fastboot. My device in fastboot & rescue mode shows up on minimal adb and fastboot when I type "fastboot devices" command (but adb devices gives no devices/emulator found). It also shows up as Android Phone (Android sooner Single ADB Interface) in Device manager on PC and android drivers is upto date. The Huawei suite loads up but can't connect to it (can't enable hdb).
My phone is boot locked, FRP locked, not rooted (and impossible to enable usb debug) so I can't flash any commands like recovery.img, system.img or twrp and cwm recovery. I always get the remote command not allowed.
Right now, On starting my device, Honor logo shows up, vibrates and goes dark twice then to eRecovery.
All the other combination functions of Power, Vol - and Vol + works.
Please help me restore my Honor 6x to stock or update to Nougat! Thanks a ton!

extract update.zip. Get the UPDATE.APP.
create a "dload" directory to your sdcard. copy UPDATE.APP in this folder
shutdown phone / unplug phone.
hold on VOL + + VOL - + POWER
UPDATE.APP will install. Then shutdown phone. remove UPDATE.APP from dload directory. Extract UPDATE.APP from second zip (smallest one: update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip)
copy this new UPDATE.APP into dload folder on sdcard.
Shutdown phone / unplug
hold on VOL + + VOL - + POWER
When install complete, try to boot, if not boot, recovery into recovery and wipe cache / data

Heya! Thanks for the reply.
Can you be more specific about Which ROM to use? The stock ROM or the Newer Nougat Firmware for my phone model?
I have tried the following:
Honor 6X B132 Stock ROM and Honor 6X B320, 330, 360. Yet to try B320, 340 & 342 Firmwares.
I don't remember which one says incompatible, wrong update package or software update failed after 6% installation but bottom line is they all fail to install. I can't do a Hard reset and only wipe cache. I do wipe cache before flashing with SD card dload method but still unsuccesful.:fingers-crossed:

As far as I know, There is no rollback packages for BLN22(India) yet. :crying: Is there a way to flash it to Nougat?

I am not sure! Some people have updated successfully while others are not so lucky and some like me, have messed up!
Unless you are unhappy with your phone performance, I'd recommend not to rollback provided our rollback package is even available to perform that!

Can you kindly send me the firmware download links?
Edit:
I dug deeper into this B360 nougat update and I now know for sure I've tried to flash a wrong update for my Phone wrongly.
The B360 for – [Asian variant] Honor 6X is BLN-L22C636Bxxx which is different from the Indian build – [Indian variant] Honor 6X BLN-L22C675Bxxx.
Am I missing something here?
