i (think I) killed my Honor 8 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I rooted my Honor 8 yesterday and it was working fine, I went to install BusyBox, and accidentally installed SuperSU, and now I couldn't pass the SafetyNet checks, even with Magisk installed. I used TWRP to wipe my device, and went to install the backup. Wouldn't you know, the backup I made was no good.
I'm able to get into TWRP and eRecovery, but since I unlocked the bootloader (and no longer have access to the code), i can't use eRecovery.
anyone want to earn a nice hug for helping me figure this out?

I've been trying to flash the BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY and SYSTEM IMG files I extracted from Update.APP. The first 3 flashed fine, but System is too large.

what would be sick, is if someone could share a TWRP backup of their device.

I am pretty positive I no long have an OS installed on this device, TWRP is saying I have 0mb in the system partition.
However, the phone WAS on EMUI 5.

Bricked my Honor 6 H60-L04 Indian variant while trying to install .zip files.

I recently upgraded my phone to EMUI 2.3 to EMUI 3.1 (Android lollipop 5.1), and installed CWM and rooted it. Two days ago I have downloaded cerebus app from Rom manager app and it installed by rebooting into recovery. Then a couple of minutes after rebooting the phone keep on crashing and shutting down randomly and when I tried to reboot it won't reboot but stuck for sometime at the Honor logo and since then I've tried every possible flashing and resetting I found here on XDA.
I still have access to fastboot and that is how I am able to flash ROM s and when I am trying to use the three button method it is stopping at 90 %. I couldn't even access it if my phone is not connected to my PC.
Now I've exhausted all the procedures in here and some other sites.
Somebody please suggest me something, help me.
Thank you.
Follow these steps to get it back to stock:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
Thanks Brother.

I have the same problem with a H60-L12.
I noticed, that I get that error when I try to flash a boot.img from a different EMUI version pack.
In my case, the phone had EMUI3.0 and I can write any of the EMUI3.0 boot.img's, but cannot write a boot.img from an EMUI 3.1 or EMUI4.0 update.app

When you flashed manually, did you used the same IMG files from the last installed ROM?
You canĀ“t extract and flash IMG files of a LP ROM in a last installed MM ROM and vice versa.

Huawei Honor 6 H60-L12 bricked

Hello all
A friend of mine has a Huawei Honor 6 H60-L12.
He tried to do a firmware update and he bricked the phone.
I bought it and I am desperately trying to recover it.
Here is what I know about the phone:
It had Android 5.1.1
It had Emui 3.1 and was trying to upgrade to 4.0
(Probably was rooted)
It is H60-L12
No matter what I do, I cannot enter recovery mode with the 3 button trick.
I can anytime enter Fastboot mode.
I tried to unbrick it with HONOR Multi-Tool, everything seems to work alright, but flashing boot.img fails. After unbrick I should enter recovery mode but it does not work, phone remains stuck with the Honor logo.
Computer connects to phone in Fastboot mode, Multi-tool and fastboot command works, I also have the drivers installed.
I know that after bricking the rooted phone, I should restore it and remove root before upgrade but I cannot get there.
Please advise
Best regards,
Janos

Instead of using the honor multi tool, why don't you use the Android SDK platform tools and connect to your phone through adb. You can solve any problem using that. You have to do everything manually but it works and never disappoints as long as you can enter fastboot mode.
Download android SDK and install it. Run the program and only choose platform tools to download. You don't need anything else
Download the latest firmware for your phone and unzip it to get dload folder which will have an update.app in it.
Download Huawei update extractor and open update.app in it.
Extract recovery, boot, Cust and system images from update.app and save them to the platform tools folder.
Flash them using adb and then do a forced update.
Will work wonders. If you need any help or need more info, please let me know.
Hello muradulislam
First of all, thank you for trying to help me.
I tried something similar to your suggestion but I still have problems.
Let me explain.
My phone is H60-L12
Latest stable firmware which I found is this one:
H60-L02-L12_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_C00B535.zip
I extracted the boot, cust, recovery and system images with Huawei update extractor.
My device is detected in fastboot mode, fastboot devices gives me this result:
c:\adb>fastboot devices
F6CDU15117010953 fastboot
When I try to flash the boot.img, it gives me this error:

My expertise are quite limited but may be, just may be (wishful thinking), you can to flash the twrp recovery specific for your phone. Boot into that and flash a custom ROM from there.
It may not work as I guess, boot.img is needed before entering recovery but give it a try. It never hurts.
Come on, guys!
There must be somebody who can help me.
Guillermo, panamera2011 and muradulislam tried to help me and I want to thank you for their patience.
Problem is, that I am still missing something.
There are 2 weeks now, each day after work I try to revive this phone.
These are the facts I know:
Tried the programs on 4 different machines, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
Tried different sets of drivers (the one from Android SDK, the Universal ADB drivers, the ones installed by multi-tool)
Result is always the same.
I can flash anytime, any version of cust.img recovery.img and system.img but I can flash only the boot.img which is resulting from an EMUI2.3 or EMUI3.0 package.
If I try to flash boot.img from EMUI3.1 or EMUI4.0, I get the following error:
sending 'boot' (10274 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.103s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried flashing different stock or CWM or TWRP recoveries. They all are written correctly, but I cannot enter any recovery mode.
Someone advised me to try to flash fastboot.img. It is not working, gives error.
I have already many hours and maybe hundreds of firmware writes, I downloaded around 100 GB of firmwares....
There must be an idea how to save this phone.
I am open to any decent advice.

Janos

@DigiGoon
You can flash boot.img from emui 2.3 or 3.0? If its written correctly then may be you can try to boot into that emui version by flashing Cust, system and recovery from the same firmware?
Your last hope is Huawei customer service.
Yes, I can flash cust, recovery and system from the same EMUI2.3 or 3.0 package, but I am still unable to boot recovery.
Unfortunately, Huawei customer service will not help me because phone is H60-L12 (Chinese version) and they don't provide support only for L04

Well, I have mentioned DigiGoon in the previous reply. May be he can help a bit.
@janos666
You can always put your desired boot.img in a flashable zip, and flash it via TWRP recovery.
Hi DigiGoon!
No, I cannot, because I was never able to access any kind of recovery

You can't mix LP and MM ROMs and IMG files. If you want to downgrade, for example, from MM to LP you must use B800 transitional package.
So you must use IMG files from last installed working ROM.

Thank you for your reply.
So this means that I should find out what version he flashed? He told me that flashing firmware went OK, but after reboot, phone wasn't starting anymore.

Sure. I would go from there as I sometimes mixed boot.img from LP or MM and always got bootloop. I would stick to IMG files from last installed ROM.

If it was Marshmallow, you have to flash transition package as zinko_pt said, otherwise you have to flash all the IMG files of Lollipop.
And after executing this command from fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot reboot
do you see notification LED light up?

Hi DigiGoon !
Sorry, which one is the flash transition package?
Which parts to flash from it?
Which is notification LED? I can see only one red LED blinking sometimes, but only when battery is low.

If it was Marshmallow, you have to flash transition package as zinko_pt said, otherwise you have to flash all the IMG files of Lollipop.
And after executing this command from fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot reboot
do you see notification LED light up?

Isn't there an option to flash all img files from fastboot?
P.S. I just got new info from the guy who flashed it first time. He says he tried to write version:
H60-L02-L12_emui3.1_android5.1_c00B535
Is there such thing as "not correctly unlocked" or "partially unlocked" bootloader?
When i try to write some parts of the firmware, i get the following error:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Normally this would mean that the bootloader is NOT unlocked, but anyway i test it, it says unlocked.
If i type fastboot oem get-bootinfo, i get the following result:
c:\adb>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) unlocked
OKAY [ 0.003s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also the fastboot screen displays in red "PHONE UNLOCKED"
I can write some parts of the firmware, but not the fastboot.img, and boot.img only from EMUI2.3 or EMUI3.0
Please help me

I don't have the unlock code that's why I cannot try to relock it... And in this state I cannot get the necessary info to obtain the unlock code.
Anyway, when I tried to unlock with a bogus unlock code (1234567812345678), it gave me an error something like this:
Command failed, bootloader already unlocked.

The info you are missing is device id, another user got his device id using Huawei hacker toolkit v 1.4, his model was h60-L02. May be you can give it a try.
You have to lock it before trying to unlock again.

Help!!! Is my Honor 8 bricked??

I'm in a really bad position right now. I flashed TWRP on my phone to flash stock recovery on my phone. I attempted to wipe everything before I flashed something, but it gave me errors that it failed to mount Cust, Product, Vendor, and Device. I was able to get rid of the Cust error, but the other three remained. Now my phone does not boot into anything. I tried flashing stock and it did nothing.
I just tried following this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70158202&postcount=5
I was able to extract everything, but when I tried to unbrick the phone I got some errors.

As you can see, it failed to both write to cust and system. Due to this I still cannot boot into anything other than TWRP and Fastboot mode. Not the operating system (EMUI), not Huawei eRecovery.
Please help me...is my phone bricked for good, or can I fix this?
Quick update: I am able to reach Huawei eRecovery. However, if I try to download the latest version and recovery, it ultimately ends up at "Getting package info failed". Maybe I can do something with eRecovery?
Just to recap: I can access fastboot mode, TWRP, and eRecovery. I can not access the OS.

So youre using nougat, and you flash MM images??
Try this, find your rollback package, donload and put updated.app in dload folder(create new one in sdcard)
Let it updates with 3 button pushed.
Find your full firmware package, download it than you need to replace the updates.app in dload folder with full firmware one.
Let it updates with 3 buttons pushed also.
You'll loose twrp and bootloader locked again
I am also faced same problem. Just follow my steps
1.grab stock recovery.img form stock firmware by extracting update.app in Huawei update extrator .
2.flash it in fast boot.
3.switch off ur device.
4. Copy stock update.app to SD/dload.
5.then force update by all three buttons
Boom it works for me :good:

It worked!!! To be specific, I followed faizalotai's guide because I thought that updating the rollback package would fix it, but VenuGopalu's guide was very similar. I'm now running EMUI 4.1 without any problems. Apparently I don't have the update to EMUI 5 yet, but I'm sure I'll be getting that soon. Thank you so much, guys!

Well, that tool is for Nougat so it's no good for Oreo.
Flash this: https://mega.nz/#!YaIUhZhQ!ewDfrlQC5-fQ1oHfEj2YOo-2rDyi6b-dUoM4qx13e9A

B361 is the released oreo in EU. If you had a beta I'll have to find some other ramdisk. I have B329 too if that one doesn't work.
Sorry it took a while, I was sleeping.

Which official version you were on last? What else did you do?
It shows partition error which means you must have cross flashed something wrong.

Now you can use dload roll back package. Go back to MM and again upgrade to Nougat.
hi, I've unlock the bootloader on my Huawei mate 8 nxtl29c432. After the reboot the only screen on my phone is
Error mode please update system again
Error!
Func NO 11 recovery image
Error no 2 load failed!
What I can do?! I can't enter in fastboot mode only this screen!!
Looks like you are just playing around. You said all working but few app. Now you landed in error mode.
Well. let the battery dry down totally and switch off.
Then connect your phone to usb pressing vol- button n you will enter fastboot. Rest i leave it upto you to flash.
