Are you sure you're using the rollback package before? You can download it from honor official website, then you move the firmware file in a dload folder on your sdcard. Boot up using both + and - buttons and the power button in the same time and the phone will force the flashing of the rollback ( package needed to go back from android 7 to android 6) file. Then you have to download the android 6 firmware for your device from the honor official website again and flash it with the same process of the rollback package. If you can't undestand i can try to explain it in italian

Just flash the stock recovery there in fastboot. And reboot. Shutdown the phone and use dload method

Basically you missed one thing before restoring stock backup. You should have performed a full factory reset using the second recovery and then restored your TWRP backup.
Your device being stuck on Honor screen is because you forgot to enable encryption (that is done by performing a factory wipe through second recovery).

Follow my guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-flashing-unapproved-firmwares-t3668306
Before you do it, flash stock Nougat recovery (if you were on EMUI 5) and perform a factory reset. Then flash TWRP again through Fastboot.
Use the TWRP method since you are unable to boot to EMUI. Chose any firmware you want, whether it be Marshmallow or Nougat.

Are you following the steps exactly as mentioned?
You need to flash TWRP first then setup your device to install the firmware. Read the TWRP section again and follow it exactly as mentioned.
Nothing to worry about that Fastboot status. It is normal.

Damn. I forgot you could simply flash files from Fastboot.
In the future only flash system, cust, vendor, boot and recovery. Do not attempt to flash any other file.
Still, if you want to update to the latest OTA, my guide is always there to help you out.

URGENT Help Needed!! Suspected Brick (B110 to B136)

Hi Guys,
So I got my Mate 9 (MHA-L29C636B110) today and i unlocked bootloader and rooted it so I can restore my backups using Titanium Backup.
After I flashed TWRP and rooted, the updater in settings shows new update available, so i tried to download the OTA (MHA-L29C636B136) and update it.
But it can't be updated maybe due to TWRP installed, so I tried the following:
1) Flash stock recovery through fastboot from B136 update.app (Failed to update as well)
2) Unroot with SuperSU (Failed as well)
3) Flash boot.img, recovery.img, system.img from B136 (Failed as well)
But now the phone reboots everytime I type my PIN to unlock phone. I still can drag notification bar, and access to torch light function on lockscreen etc.
I have full zip and OTA zip update.app extracted. But I'm not sure what is my next step.
Anyone able to advise how to revert back to B110 or update manually to B136?
Thanks in advance!!!
Flash the full zip in twrp,you will get some error but you should be ok

But I can't boot to TWRP even if fastboot shows it flashed successfully. Went to eRecovery all the time.
Also, I tried to flash the Full zip and OTA zip file with TWRP before I start trying to flash the img files seperately, they don't work...
To boot to twrp you have to hold vol up + power and release power when you see the logo while keeping volume up pressed.

Flashing stock B136 with FunkyHuawei might be your best bet. Assuming funkyhuawei stays alive, this phone is pretty much un-brickable.

I can only boot to TWRP for now, stuck in splash screen loop if boot normally, will funkyhuawei work?
You can find full firmware http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha
Once you flash the update.zip reboot to recovery and factory reset.

Yep. At the unlocked bootloader splash screen, hold the volume up button for 3 seconds to enter eRecovery. eRecovery downloads a stock build and flashes it automatically. Of course, you'll need to setup FunkyHuawei beforehand so that it'll download the version you want. (B136, etc)

OK I'm downloading it now. So I place the file in SD Card and flash using TWRP, then factory reset. Correct?
I am now having bootloops so I have to wipe system, data, cache, dalvik with TWRP before flash right?
No don't wipe everything,just flash the zip reboot to recovery and factory reset.

US Honor 6x Unable to Boot TWRP Backup of Stock EMUI 5.0 (Help)

Hello there, I've been trying to return to stock EMUI after messing around with some AOSP-based ROMs, but my US model Honor 6x is unable to boot up the TWRP backup of it. And the dload method is unsuccessful, as it just says the firmware is incompatible with my device. Does anyone know a way to return back to stock EMUI and make my device as it was coming out of the factory?

I still have TWRP and the backup of my original software, but it won't boot up. It just goes into a boot loop. I don't know what proper steps to take in order to get the software to boot up again.

If this doesn't help, u need this one:
-download Huawei Extractor from xda
-unzip big zip and extract from update.app, recovery.img
-flash recovery.img over fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
-now make update over dload method
(unzip both files and separately put to dload folder on sdcard, first big second small, but must be unzipped)

Okay, one more question: For the dload method, do I have both ZIPs in the dload folder and flash it at the same time, or do I flash one ZIP at a time in the stock recovery?

Yes u need install both zips, becasue big one is system and small are apps. Flash stock recovery and after install big one (unzipped) after reboot (if phone boot to rom immediately turn him off) and install second one, same like first

Thanks for those edits; I was a bit confused. Thank you for all your help; I'll update you if it works or not. Have a nice night.
I just wanted to leave a reply to let others know what I did:
1. Flashed stock recovery from the big update.zip file (I used the Huawei extractor to get it from the file)
2. Unzipped the big and little zip files
3. Made a folder called dload
4. Put the unzipped contents of the big zip in the dload folder
5. Held power and volume up + down buttons until it installed the big update file
6. I went into the recovery by holding volume up and power
7. I removed the SD card and deleted the contents of the big update and inserted the little update to the dload folder
8. I rebooted and used the same dload method to install the contents of the little update file
9. I went back into the recovery (power and volume up) and did a factory reset
10. I rebooted and everything worked!
11. Installed the intermediate package first and then the official 6.0 software through the dload method
12. Upgraded back to Nougat via the Marshmallow build

Unbricking Mate 9 and go stock(Soft Bricked)

I know, i know there's plenty of resources over the net already and I already spent 10+ hrs on this.
I bricked my phone when SuperSU prompts me to install su binary. And it got me into bootloop.
Tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108 but failed at 61%
Tried the backup oem file method but TWRP kept saying permission denied when trying to backup
Couldn't find a way to import dload+Update.app file into internal storage without actually booting up the phone first. I didn't knew the exact directory for internal storage so I couldn't copy it from OTG
Bootloader Unlocked, Rooted(before recovery), using TWRP.
I wanna go back to clean stock firmware
Any helps would be appreciated.
ADDED: ITS ORIGINALLY OREO
Any luck? I have the same problem here ..
Still have unlocked bootloader & know the firmware version you were on?
Right. Go to Firmware Finder. Download the FullOTA version of it.
Get one of the firmware extractor utilities. You're going to want SYSTEM, KERNEL, RAMDISK, and RECOVERY_RAMDISK (or RECOVERY_RAMDIS, depending on the extractor).
Get into fastboot mode.
Flash those 4 items to the partitions named the same.
Reboot into recovery - you're now in an EMUI recovery. Factory reset.
Reboot.
You should be back to stock with an unlocked bootloader. If you've gone poking around with root or whatnot and might have modified one of the other partitions, don't relock your device - it won't boot. Instead, hwota8 or a NoCheck stock recovery are probably the way you'd want to go. (To be honest, I haven't used either. If I want to get back to full stock knowing it's not modified, I usually do a downgrade flash to Nougat through HiSuite and then upgrade again.)

And use this TWRP with it (won't work otherwise, most likely): https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783353
(Also, that TWRP has decryption support so you can backup /data.)
Search and download your fw from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
You'll want Update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip and the hw data zip. (Make sure it's actually for your phone, e.g. check region cust)
Rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip, rename hw data zip to update_all_hw.zip.
Put update zips and HuRupdater zip in the same folder on your sdcard/internal memory, flash HuRupdater with TWRP.

Phone won't boot and can't do much from TWRP

Hi !
I installed TWRP to root my honor view 10 3/4 weeks ago.
Today I installed an update. And since then, the phone won't boot past TWRP (which I can access) or Huawei eRecovery mode.
When I land in the eRecovery mode it offers me to shutdown, reboot, or connect to wifi and do a factory reset. When I attempt the factory reset it tells me that downloading package info failed.
I tried to do a reset from TWRP without success gives me ERROR 9. I also tired to install the stock rom (update.zip) from TWRP and I also get ERROR 9.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to phones. Anyone have an idea of a solution ?
Thank you for reading !

When I try to boot the phone it displays the message that the phone in unlocked and should no be trusted, it shows the honor booting screen and after a few seconds shuts down and the process is repeating.
If i try to press the volume up key when booting it takes me to huawei eRecovery where I can either shutdown the phone or download recovery but it fails everytime.
Thanks
Try flash the No check recovery, boot into and wipe cache. Then reboot
Powered by View 10
Try this
1. Flash stock ramdisk img
2. Flash stock recovery img
3. Reboot to recovery with button combination ie; power and vol down together
4. Wipe data and cache
5. Reboot.
Hopefully it'll work if it doesn't flash system.img after 1 & 2 steps and follow the next steps
Hi please specify model
And what update you installed...
If the update was genuinely meant for phone I believe a data and cache partation format should fix this..
I hope you are atleast seeing the honor bootscreen...
Specify model so that we could point you to correct system.img
Also did twrp gave any errors formatting cache memory?

[SOLVED] Can't boot to system, recovery, installing through dload crashes at 5%

Hello,
I recently got my new Mate 10 Lite and wanted to debrand it, update to Oreo, root and install useful Magisk plugins. Everything went fine and I got my phone debranded from C738 to C432, then I updated to Oreo B330 and tried to root. Couldn't succeed with dry Magisk 16.6 install, so I installed 16.0. Decided to give 16.6 a shot one more time but the story went the same, no 16.6 was installed and Magisk Manager had weird, arabic-like layout (inverted), so I wanted to patch boot image with 16.0 once again in order to clear all the "leftovers" 16.6 could leave. Unfortunately, after this operation my phone got softbricked, constantly entering ERROR MODE trying to boot both system and recovery, getting respectively Func NO 10 and 2 (boot image load failed!) and Func NO 11 and 2 (recovery image load failed!). I hoped that maybe I could just recover via TWRP installing it once again, but, unfortunately, it wasn't a thing and I couldn't boot anyway. I was, of course, installing Mate 10 Lite Oreo version of TWRP. HwOTA 8 doesn't help as well. dload update leaves me with crash at 5%. Any hopes for my baby, or only locking a bootloader and sending on warranty will do (if they even accept it)?
Thank you in advance,

EDIT: Fixed. Just had to reflash kernel.img. As simple as that. Seems much more harder, doesn't it?
So here's a quick solution:
1. Go here: http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ Download Firmware Finder, search for Oreo ROM for your specific phone model and codename
2. Find update.zip. Unzip it and put UPDATE.APP to Huawei Update Extractor
3. Extract kernel.img and flash it via fastboot - "fastboot flash kernel kernel.img"
4. Reboot, should work from now.
This is solution for Oreo as I think it's a problem specific for Oreo because this partitioning system, but if you experience such problem with Nougat, download Nougat ROM and change all "kernel" words to "boot".
Hope you have a nice day, I'm glad that I might have helped a few of fellow Mate 10 Lite users
you can enter in recovery mode true?
try rebrand your device to stock and download the stock rom to flash via HwOTA or dload.
Can boot only to stock recovery, dload and fastboot. As I said, I rebranded to C432 and did it successfully and installed ROM for this version. I tried flashing both Nougat I used to rebrand and Oreo, both crash at 5% when flashing via dload, HwOTA doesn't work as it flashes TWRP you have to boot into, and I can't enter TWRP because I get Func NO 11 and 2 (recovery image load failed!). I tried 2 different TWRPs, this one from HwOTA and Azan Mughal's version. Neither of them works. Nougat versions don't even flash properly, which is normal because I "have" Oreo
Well, I might just say that this is the toughest phone I have ever been modding. I have just noticed that plugging the phone to charger also makes it enter ERROR MODE, which is also normal in this situation as boot image fails to load.
Just thinking... Might it be that recovery and boot partitions are somehow unformatted? I have no other idea why would recovery boot fail when installed. But on the other hand if it was unformatted it would either format it properly or not install at all, right?
EDIT: Tried to erase recovery but "Command not allowed".
I've got the exact same problem except dload because I don't know how to do that.
dload works with emui 4.x
It should always work. It's there for a reason, isn't it?
I might have discovered why am I getting boot and recovery failures. Obviously having Oreo there are no boot and recovery partitions but recovery_ramdisk and I think kernel (notsure) instead. I only have a question how do I repartition mobile device? There must be a way, right?
Like MTK-based devices have SP Flash Tool.
One click away from pushing all the files from UPDATE.APP from stock Oreo through Fastboot, is it safe enough? I mean, what if, for example, fastboot.iso fails to write or is corrupted, completely bricked phone?
Never been so scared modifying a phone, this one is so tough to mod and soft at once...
Can't boot to system, recovery, installing through dload crashes at 5%
i am in same problem plz developers do some work on these issues of this device to get back our devices thanks.
i have tried many mehods (dload, update. app, update. zip etc...... 1 different problem i got is when fladhing boot. img or recovery. img using cmd fastboot flash boot boot. img
failed remote; partition get size error.

@BaBa Yoga, you have Oreo, right? Try installing proper TWRP for 8.0 then and flash it as recovery_ramdisk instead, because it's how do partitions on Oreo look like. But I doubt it changes anything and makes your phone alive again.
FIXED IT, FIXED IT!!! Reflashed kernel and it works. Guys up here, you might want to try this out. As I thought, Magisk must have messed up with my boot file.

bro i did not find firmware for my region i. e RNE L21 C185..... I FOUND DOME FIRMWARES on other sites one of thek i extract update. app using huawei updates extractor but there is no kernal.img file..... i found i. gs of boot, system, recovery, cust etc but no kernal. img what i do.....
You downloaded Nougat then, and you have to download Oreo that ends with B3xx, in your case then it will be RNE-L21C185B3xx There must be Oreo for C185, I know that because I was looking at C185 too when I was rebranding but then I noticed that C432 is what I should install for my region.
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=rne-l21c185B3 - these are all the official Oreo builds for your specific region. I think all of them should do, I am certain that all the kernels in these packages are similar. Eventually you can just flash another one later

should i download OTA-MF or FULLOTA-MF?
I Hope i could find kernal file now....
i am downloading FULLOTA-MF thanks to provide me firmware list of my region
thanks sevenup9 for getting back my device out of that problem i flash the kernel successfully wnd get back my twrp as well now what next..???????? thanks again
---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ----------
i flashed kernel. img, cust. img, system. img and then reboot now i have twrp but still in bootloop what next
Yeah, good that you downloaded FullOTA, as it's a full system image. I assume there is no system.img or kernel.img in OTA package at all.
Since you have TWRP now but stuck in bootloop, try to wipe data and cache and try to boot again. If you don't succeed, then maybe try getting all of the 3 zips from FullOTA package on SD card (or USB stick if you have a USB OTG cable) and flash them via TWRP, starting from "update.zip". Should work just fine. Maybe your phone got more partitions messed up, but that should be recoverable as you have a good base being able to boot into TWRP
