Hello everyone,
Today around 12:00, my phone did install the latest EMUI update available (365). However, I didn't noticed it and then I couldn't stop it ...
It messed up my system and I wasn't able to boot. eRecovery wasn't working either (unable to get packages).
I had twrp so I thought this was no big deal, but I couldn't manage to reinstall a stock rom, nor install a custom rom (I've tried them all, and none was working : blackscreens all the time), even thought I have experience in flashing roms and messing around with smartphones
I tried to rollback to an older version of my stock rom using huawei's rollback package (even if the manual says that I shouldn't do this since I unlocked my bootloader). The installation was flawless, and then it rebooted to reset my user data. The reset failed, and still couldn't boot.
I've tried to install custom roms again after that, but I was missing "/vendor" and "/product".
I am desperate and out of ideas.
I have access to bootloader, I have fastboot, twrp, and I have experience in flashing and all this stuff.
If you like challenges and you wanna proove that you're the very best like no one ever was, your help is much appreciated
Best regards,
Hazreath
PS : sorry for any english mistake

Yes I can boot into eRecovery !
Thanks for your interest sir
Hazreath said:
If eRecovery is the thing that you boot in when you press VOL +, VOL - and POWER, I have access to it.
However, if you're talking about the eRecovery we can boot in with a normal boot and 3sec VOL+ press, I'm afraid I can't ...
Thanks for your interest sir

I was talking about the second one. The first one was ghe dload flash. You use it if you want to manually flash a firmware. Maybe you cantry that too. Download a full firmware for your model (more or less 2GB in size), extract the update.app inside and put it in dload folder inside storage, and press the volume up, volume down and power buttons.

I already tried that and it led me to nothing :/
I tried both the EMUI 5.0 firmware and the rollback to EMUI 4.1. They were the only ones availables.
5.0 install failed(uncompatible), and rollback install worked but then user data reset failed...
What was your idea with the second one ? I can access to it, I was wrong (I modified my post a minute ago )
Thanks again
Problem solved !
I made a dload with a update.zip that I found here -> http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1277/g104/v74972/f1/full/update.zip
I'm in EMUI 4.1 and everything works fine (I miss the drawer but it works).
Thanks for your investment sir, and have a nice day

Get the zip file and extract it in a "dload" folder (create it) to your sdcard.
Put the sdcard into your phone and boot by pressing vol+,vol- and power, then click on the first option and wait !
Sorry I saw your answer a bit late :/

Hello guys, i need your help to unbrick my phone. First of all what i did to brick it was to unlock the boot loader, then used the Honor 6 Multi Tool to get a Cwm on it with it, it was EMUI 3.1 in the choosing. After that my phone restarted and now its hung up at Honor sign, and i can only access Fastboot mode but not recovery. I tried already playing new flashes on it with cust, boot, system and recovery and got a update on my sd card but it didnt work, it doesnt recognize my update and still only shows the honor screen, can anyone help me? Much appreciated

Is your phone recognized as an adb device?
Yes
Then get twrp for your phone by googling it along with how to flash it. After flashing that recovery, you can easily flash another ROM or even the stock ROM. Google it a bit and if you still need help, I will be happy to explain in detail.
naztaj said:
Yes

Or alternatively if you don't want the twrp recovery, just download emui 4.0, use huawei update extractor to extract all images and flash them using adb tools.
One other method far more simpler which might or might not work, download latest firmware, extract UPDATE.zip, make a dload folder in your SD card, copy this zip in there, press and hold volume up+down+power to force an update from SD card.
In short, your phone is not bricked at all, just needs couple of hours of tinkering and it will be good as new.
Feel free to ask any questions. Will be happy to help in anyway possible.

Tq for the suggestion. So what ks brick anyway???
According to my limited knowledge and it is quite limited (IMO), There are two bricks, soft brick and hard brick. Soft brick is when you can enter bootloader or recovery or your device is still recognized as an adb device or you can still flash images to your phone after some tinkering (even when adb does not recognize it).
Hard brick, well, should be, when you can not do any of the above.
One can recover from a soft brick but not from a hard brick.

Maybe u can ask panamera2011 abt that. I have solved one problem by using his guide. My phone was stuck at bootloader after fail to root using srk tool but adb did recognize my phone. But yours didn't right? Just try pm him about ur problem. Maybe he has a way. Just my suggestion. Its worth a try. ??

No, I'm just telling you to be Careful when tinkering your phone
Hello guys, I'm so sorry for having to bug you all eventhough there already has been many threats regarding a bricked Honor 8.
But however, i'm really stuck because apparently my Honor 8 model is FRD-L19C636 B380 currently running emui 5.0
This phone was bought in Malaysia. Due to my retardness, i tried rooting this phone but accidently wiped the entire system with my backup of twrp.
This phone is unlocked, its having stock recovery now, phone works as in, there are many apps missing and theres no keyboard and camera does not work.
I seem to have downloaded the update.app for the latest version but it does not include CUST.IMG which then doesnt allow me to fully flash the rom.
When I'm thinking about downgrading, it didnt work either because i cannot find the correct version for the downgrade. (I randomly picked a FRD L19 emui 4.1 from the website and flash it, it failed at CUST.IMG and further bricked my device but now its back to the state where theres no keyboard and apps are missing)
Bootloader is unlocked
I can access fastboot and stock recovery. Please I really need help D: I would never want to mess with my phone ever again, my mom bought me this phone and it was hard for her, I feel really bad for not taking care of it properly.

The phone worked for about 10 o'clock when one morning asked me to take a further update that I trusted but that the phone did not like not restarting and stopping at the screen where she asks with the three black screen keys with the three Download keys Latest version and recovery - reboot - shutdown.
I tried to roll back with the dload both with the FRD-L19C432B120 and with the FRD-L19C432B131 but came up to 10% and exclamation point and can not continue.

I am free now 2 days holiday, i am willing to help all, so if some one wants me to help, I definitely will .
Thanks for your answers now I am explaining my situation I have a HONOR 8 4GB 64Gb FRD_AL10 and I had a strong brick
Only through DC-UNLOKED I managed to reprogram the FIRM_FACTORY and then insert a new firm .....
My problem is that I can not find a proper combination between Firm factory and Firm stock
Here's what I put in DC-UNLOCKED on the poor server:
firm_factory:
FRD-AL10_HL1FRDAL00M303_Factory_firmware_general_Android_6.0_EMUI_4.1
FRD-L04_M001035_Factory_firmware_general_Android_6.0_EMUI_4.1
I then add to these a FRD-L19C432B131 firm
Everything so far is done perfectly by making combinations between
FRD-L04_M001035_Factory_firmware_general_Android_6.0_EMUI_4.1
FRD-L19C432B131 (European model)
The problem that when I run an update with Firmware Finder at nougat any edition 360 380 381 etc etc. the phone assumes after the update goes to the cursed NRD90M test-key, which is why the firmware used is not the right one.
Can you help me if you have any sources to have a proper firmware combination ???
I need the Europa Italia version
Thank you all
Someone can help me ???
during an installation and reboot my honor 8 is dead ....
At this time if boot from power the screen stays black usb dead high only the green color notification LEDs flashing ..............
help help
Hi all
My honor 8 just arrived yesterday,
Turned it on and it prompted me for a software update and it went in to a boot-loop.
Not sure what fw it was on before the update, also unsure what version it was upgrading to.
Later found out trough fastboot that it is (FRD-L19C636B386).
Tried to factory reset (no luck)
Tried eRecovery method, keeps showing (Getting package info failed)
Tried the 3 finger method with FRD-L19C636B380, keeps showing (Software install failed Get help from http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore)
Tried to flash trough fastboot, unfortunately it can't be done without unlocking the bootloader.
Wanted to unlock the bootloader but seems like it requires the phone to be able to boot to OS before I can get the unlock code.
Anyone having the same issue or have other alternatives/solutons for me to try?
Cheers!
Try rollback package

Hi I also have L19 and trying to update to B380 from B360 thru OTA using Firmware Finder. And your issue happened to me. It just bootloops then goes to eRecovery but it has error " Getting package into failed".
So can you help me step by step on how you fixed your phone? Thanks!
Tried using Rollback package. but now my new error is "Data partition was damaged seriously! ..."
I dont know what to do anymore, I just bought this phone 5 days ago, sad life.

FRP Lock
1. what to do to unlock bootloader?
2. Whats happening now is, the "Honor" logo boots twice then goes to Huawei eRecovery. Under eRecovery it has option "Download latest version and recovery" > "Download and recovery" > "Starting WIFI failed". Actually I can connect to wifi earlier and this what happens to the eRecovery "Getting package info failed". But now it CANT connect to the wifi.
3. I tried the firmware rollback but it didnt help

This is what I'm doing now downloading FRD-L19C636B360 Full OTA which is 1.4GB from boycracked.com then will use the 3 button combo to install it using dload folder in the sd card. Still waiting to download the file. Will update you once tried
What do you mean by the "(2 zips)" ? What I only know it has UPDATE.APP.

The 1st file will be installed thru the 3 buttons from sdcard>dload folder.
1. How do you flash the 2nd file?
2. Do I also put it in the dload folder together with the 1st file?
Sorry bout d questions, m really noob, it's my 1st huawei device
Rommco05 said:
No problem, Im not sure because I dont ude this method.
But, 1st one goes biggest. After installation 1st boot to rom or just turn off phone and put second one to dload. Yes tru 3 buttons combo

I might still be able to finish the download after 6 hours since it's only running around 50kb/s, server is too slow. I hope this goes really well, will give update tom thanks!

I followed d FF video from youtube by MT team, I dont know what became d problem in d installation of d b380 update and made this to my unit.
Btw after install the 2 files should i wipe data and cache before using it?
Rommco05 said:
No need to be wiped anything. You remember if firmware which you try install was labeled with PV on end name of fw?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There were 2 b380 available, 1st is 300mb 2nd file is full ota. I only downloaded d full ota. No PV at d end as far as i remember. Used wifi proxy > system update ota > start download pause > return wifi config > resume ota update.
Rommco05 said:
Ithink this was issue, if you want install some firmware or update (Nougat) must be always labeled with PV, with this is able to install over dload or twrp

I think PV filenames is for twrp. I just read that updating to b380 you need to rollback to b120 which is marshmallow then jump to b380. As long as i can return it to my stock b360 Im fine with it. I will just wait for Oreo or OTA update without using FF since this issue is driving me nuts. It's just 5 day old phone n this already happened. My download is still at 50% very frustrating download speed
Rommco05 said:
As far I know every update must by labeled with PV if will can be installed manualy, this is "offline firmwares" wich don't need be checked online by Huawei

I have downloaded the 2 files. When I extract the 1st file it has 3 files ( meta-INF, update.app, full_mainpkg.tag). Should I put these 3 files to the dload folder or just the update.app?
Rommco05 said:
All files from each zip together, but zips must separately. I'm going for today off, if will something wrong I have look tomorrow

The 1st file worked my phone now booted, but the problem is I cant pass thru setup/google account because it doesnt have keyboard just voice command. Why no keyboard, it's my 1st time to see this happened as well, was there a problem with my download?
Im now in the process of installing the 2nd file you gave thru 3 combo, lets see if it gives me a keyboard.

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but I was away from the website for some time hoping someone can reach out, and yet there you are!
Well i actually got over the issue with the voice from Google and I have a keyboard now , but there are somethings out of place on my phone, like for example the clock is gone , my precious Notepad is gone as well along with all the important notes, before I attempted to root my device I made a full back up ( the root on my phone is terribly difficult, can't find a good guide that fits my need to do it safely.
My build number is: FRD-L09C1858B387

Can you elaborate more ? should I reflash it? I've read on some issue resolving contents that I have to reflash the update.zip, but can't quite get an idea of how to do it?
I don't want to brick my phone that's why I stopped from rooting it
And I want to get my clock back and more importantly to get the notes from notepad back :/
Thanks in advance!

Hello, do you have TWRP on your phone or the stock recovery? How did u manage to reinstall the stock ROM ? In my opinion you need to flash a clean stock ROM from official website via dload method

Did not post any guide..
Its simple..but you need correct files to do it successfully..
Download correct stock firmware file
Correct I mean according to you model and build number.
The firmware number should be same or higher ..
If you have any question post here.

if i want to flash the stock firmware i should do it with which tool ? is it the same tool that is used with rooting which is TWRP , or do i use something else
and when you say the correct files , is the file required for this process called update.zip?

No tool is needed , you just need to place the correct UPDATE.APP (downloaded from honor official site) in a folder called dload a
at the root of your SD card, shut down your phone then hold power + both volume buttons. When the phone is starting release the power button but keep holding volume buttons. It should start installing the firmware.
If it doesn't work you probably need to install a stock recovery and retry.
If the firmware you have chosen is the wrong one the phone won't accept it . (Upgrade failed)
Please take note that if the process succeed it will erase all your data, you should take a backup before
Good luck bro even if it isn't a tough process, and let us know the end of the story

No tool needed for that..its called dload method..
Download firmware
Extract firmware
Put update.app in dload folder
Power up the phone by pressing three button(power button, vol+ and vol- button)
Flashing process begin..
You need a stock recovery to perform dload..

I want to try to root and fix my phone before the weekend started so I can have fun, can I annoy you or anyone else with this?
I need to get help with two things, first get the flash on my FRD-L09 FRD-L09C185B387, emui 5 androids 7.0 and get my notepad and clock back, second, i need to root it, in the right way with no issues.
Thanks best regards
To root it you first need to install a clean ROM without missing apps. In order to do that you need to perform the dload method that I detailed previously.
Then unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, flash superSU and you're rooted
