BRICKED DEVICE - Failed to mount - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hey Guys, i have a big problem. I had the cdroid-rom on my Honor 8. Today something crashed and i can only boot into twrp. It say's no OS installed and i can only switch between fastboot-mode & twrp. In Fastboot i cannot flash anything. When i try to flash twrp again it says
"target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (25188 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.541s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.546s"
i also tried to store back to stock with the dload mehtod but it does't work. I tried several options to bring the phone back to life but nothing works.. can someone give me an explanation how i can bring the phone back to stock software?
Thanks!

Looks like your bootloader is locked which is why you can't flash recovery.
Not sure if you can get around that. If you can still boot into TWRP you can recover.

Try this
1 DL stock Rom b360
2 DL twrp 3.1.1-1
3 extract the recovery files
4 Boot in twrp and connect with PC
5 copy the dload folder with the update.app to your sdcard
6 copy the stock recovery to your device Zoo
7 flash the stock recovery with twrp
8 after flash.....make three button method
Sry for the bad english...........i had a similar problem......i flashed twrp 3.1.1-1 and lineage OS..... All was fine

Not sure if the Huawei extractor will work on MAC. What was your exact model and build number.

You can also try flashing the Rollback Package to EMUI 4, then the EMUI 4 software itself via dload from sd card. This was the method that was always able to revive my phone when nothing else worked.

try this first.......install twrp 3.1.1-1 and try to flash openkirins lineageos.....
And huawei update extractor is not for mac......you will need a virtual maschine

For everyone who has the same problem. I used this Tutorial to solve the problem. I think this solution is the problemsolver in general. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/to-emui5-custom-roms-tested-openkirin-t3638445

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:
c:\adb>fastboot flash boot boot.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'boot' (10274 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.092s]

I tried to continue with the rest but I think this is useless.
Please tell me what to do.

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.
Best regards,
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.

Hi zinko_pt
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.

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:

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:

I can write some parts of the firmware, but not the fastboot.img, and boot.img only from EMUI2.3 or EMUI3.0

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.
Fastboot OEM lock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...

Bricked stock recovery and no flashable update.zip on Mate8 NXT-TL00 with L29 oeminfo

Hey guys,
I was using a NXT-TL00 with Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 and I wanted to change to a international ROM with Nougat and EMUI 5.
My current situation:
I unlocked the bootloader.
I can boot into fastboot and flash twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img
I can boot into that TWRP and flash MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip. (Thanks again, paulcl!)
I can boot into that ROM and use it.
I changed my oeminfo and custom.bin from TL00 to L29 via SRKToolHuawei. Afterwards I had to unlock the bootloader again.
I tried to:
extract various update.zip (update.app inside of the zip) via HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5.
flash the extracted boot.img, recovery.img, system.img via fastboot manually and SRKToolHuawei.
wipe and format data, dalvik, cache, system in- and excluding reboots in every possible variation.
use different TWRP versions.
However:
I can't boot into stock recovery (even after flashing it).
I can't boot into eRecovery.
I can't flash any update.zip oder other ROM besides the one above. Why?
Using eRecovery or stock recovery won't work since I can't boot into it.
TWRP would print this error:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
mountencrypt: failed to mount /data: No such file or directory
Removing unneeded files...
Patching system files...
Removing empty directorys...

update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/NXT-TL00C01B575/update.zip'
I can't flash any system.img via fastboot. I would get this error:
fastboot flash system system.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' 1/6 (452422 KB)...
OKAY [ 13.007s]
writing 'system' 1/6...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 13.045s
What I want:
A fully working TWRP so I can simple flash an update.zip
A working (stock?) L29 ROM with Android 7 or 6 and Emui 5 or 4 and preinstalled GAPPS.
A working stock recovery and erecovery
OTA support
the possibility to lock bootloader when everything else is working
What might help:
A ROM which won't touch the data partition so I can install it trough TWRP.
Maybe there is a way to put the system.img into a flashable zip-file so I can flash the partition via TWRP so there won't be the error message from fastboot. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that. An TWRP doesn't allow to flash system.img directly.
BTW:
My current model number is: NXT-L29
My current build number is: "NRD90M test keys"
EMUI-Version 5.0, Android Version 7.0
Thanks for reading through my text. It would be great if there is someone to help me out here!

I already found a solution which is not perfect yet. First, I tried to follow the instructions from
How to install NXT-L29C432B560 (Official) Stock Firmware. (Guide with download links) by sillanwali.
Very helpful for me was post #49. I recommend to read through the first post and then coming back and follow the instructions below.
First, you need:
TWRP 3.0.3 (...3 is for Nougat)
this update.zip
MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip
The procedure might be too long with redundant steps, but it worked for me. So give it a try:
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp via fastboot(3.0.3 is for Nougat)
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.03.img
fastboot reboot​
Boot into TWRP
Copy update.zip and MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip to SD.
Wipe>format Data>yes
Wipe>Advance wipe >data, dalvik, cache, system
Install this update.zip linked above.
Try to reboot into system. Mine didn't boot into system, but stock recovery and erecovery are now installed. Go on!
Flash TWRP again (since it's overwritten by stock recovery. No worries - you now can now easily flash back stock recovery).
Boot into TWRP.
Copy MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip to SD Card.
Again, do a full wipe.
Install MATE8-TL00-EMUI5.0_B577.zip.
Reboot into system. It now should work, however it's the Chinese version.
Extract the update.zip and copy update.app to a new created DLOAD folder on the SD Card.
Do a factory reset.
Flash the stock recovery via fastboot (or TWRP). You will get the image by extracting recovery.img of update.app with HuaweiUpdateExtractor.
Reboot into recovery to install the update.app (automatically).
Now you should be on NXT-L29C432B560.
If you want to use the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip or SuperSu follow the instructions in the How-to-install guide.
To be clear, I still have a few problems:
erecovery would boot but when I am trying to restore via wifi I will get the error: "getting package info failed"
Bluetooth and NFC are not working.
Maybe someone has a solution for that?

failed (remote: partition length get error) - after update mate 9 to Oreo Beta

Hi my friends
I update my mate 9 to Oreo beta. its cool.
now I want install TWRP Recovery, but in installation through fastboot, I faced with this error:
failed (remote: partition length get error)
please help me. I cannot install recovery.
thanks
where did you get the Oreo beta?
I believe the beta can be downloaded through their web site as a limited tester. My understanding of flashing recovery onto the new Android build is that you'll need a newest version of twrp to work for oreo. Most the time the new updates will mess around with the internal storage space.

The recovery partitions are different in Android O. There is no working TWRP yet.
If you want to downgrade, however, there will be a solution soon.
Here is the solution (forwad)
This is TWRP to Mate 9/Android O, brought to you by FunkyHuawei. This will also work for the Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Mate 10 Porsche and other EMUI 8 devices.
It´s just a preliminary build so I can´t promise anything/everything will work! Keep that in mind. I´m not responsible if you brick your device.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B45NCsO2AL_1NEh2aDFLM3JlYkU
It works on the Android O build here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FunkyHuawei...id_o_beta_for/
and the official European beta.
To install:
First, have Android O running. Unlock the bootloader. Download the twrp image.
Then, run in fastboot mode:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_android_o_mate9_a1.img
Then, reboot holding volume up, and you´ve got TWRP!
Note: With the Android O update, it is no longer possible to flash the recovery2 partition. Furthermore, the names of the partitions have changed. Please keep that in mind, and don´t mess around too much with TWRP, to be sure you don´t brick your system!

great, that worked well. now - with the changed partition table, would you recommend rooting the phone with either of these methods: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986 ?

Hi, I also have Mate 9 L09 and have exact same error message:
fastboot flash recovery twrpo.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (26982 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.579s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: partition length get error)
UPDATE:
OK, I managed it by myself, haha.
For anyone else with same issue.
Since Oreo: Partition names have changed.
Use this command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img
"recovery" changed to "recovery_ramdisk" now.
finished. total time: 0.600s
I downloaded that special TWRP recovery image, but still get the same message. Does not work for me, any new solution available?

You need to flash to recovery_ramdisk. Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrpo.img
Hi there , so if we want to flash Oreo through fastboot , what could be the commands lines please ?
as ie : fastboot flash boot boot.img or boot_ramdisk / boot_kernel boot.img ? and so on ..
the complete list of commands, would any 1 pass it over here please ? thanks a bunch

Well. You can flash most partitions. If you extract imgs from an oreo update.app you get the complete list (though some can't be flashed, like erecovery_*.img).
If you extract ramdisk (boot ramdisk) from update.app you flash it as fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img. Kernel flashed as fastboot flash kernel kernel.img.
Recovery ramdisk as fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
To extract in Huawei Update Extractor you need to go to settings and disable checksum, it won't extract because something is up with erecovery_ramdis.img (it's misspelled too).
thank you for your reply @ ante0
Something else please .. as I tried and failed to update from MHA-L09-c432198 to Oreo I now get a bootloop error 14 iom3 , I saw on another thread some solutions, which dont work for me as I just cannot boot into twrp because of my battery not charging, even in download / recovery mode... battery three months old... and always working good
What I need to know is how can I either get my twrp saved system back through fastboot or else how can I flash - again only by fastboot mean - the stock firmware of my c432b198 or ...? as i need to flash boot, recovery, cust & system , how can I do so while there is no CUST img in extracted data (seems to be inside the data img itself).
Or else how can do A COMPLETE FORMAT of my internal storage ? the command , any1 i do, give either "not allowed" or partition lengh etc"
any way I can use fastboot to get out of this bootloop iom3 error 14 which don't let my battery charge a little ?
I'm a little much confused and do apology for that. Any help is desesperated needed .
So what is the boot image or the boot partition now called in OREO? I am trying to unbrick my Honor 9 and had Oreo L09-B321 on it before. The only thing I am missing is to successfully flash boot since I am also getting the "partition length error" when I use fastboot boot BOOT.img.

I think ramdisk is the boot partition in oreo, so you have to use fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img.

Well, that tool is for Nougat so it's no good for Oreo.
Flash this: https://mega.nz/#!YaIUhZhQ!ewDfrlQC5-fQ1oHfEj2YOo-2rDyi6b-dUoM4qx13e9A
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP-3.0.3-for_Oreo.img
Then download this:
https://mega.nz/#!YaJX3LzL!H71Fl2OSHInk7OH7KWbWj7KFrR0lJi9oN9QB2hpMaTM
Flash ramdisk using fastboot flash ramdisk b361_ramdisk.img
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.

Ah, good.
I'll extract it when I get home.
Its the boot I sent then. I extracted it from my phone and I'm rooted. That's probably why it doesn't work.

If a fresh boot image doesn't work you can always use HWOTA8 and reinstall Oreo.

D. Create "HWOTA8" directory in MTP sdcard.
E. Put hwota8_update.zip, MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img, and three huawei update package (update.zip, update_data_public.zip, and update_all_hw.zip) files into "HWOTA8" directory.
F. TWRP install sdcard hwota8_update.zip, it will reboot and install update automatically.
I dont understand these steps right i think...
Okay iam stupid. I did not know i can transfer data with my PC in twrp. Now i need these update.zp public and the other one. I need to go in a few minutes, if you can send me a link please where i can find these ante0

[SOLVED]Oneplus 7 stuck in fastbootmode after trying to restore a backup from TWRP

My bootloader is unlocked, I was rooted with Magisk and i had twrp recovery installed as well. A few modules were installed and i had made a backup about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday i tried restoring the backup in twrp and it seemed to restore properly without errors . When i pressed reboot in the end the phone went to the fastboot mode screen and has since been there. All i can do is turn it off and regardless of what i pick, (START, Restart Bootloader, Recovery mode) it just starts into fastboot mode. Confused as to what i should do now and why this happened in the first place. All the threads i found were only for the 7 pro so i didnt want to risk anything by following those. Please advice on what i should do.
Edit : The problem was solved by flashing the STOCK ROM for android 9 which is what i was on when the device was softbricked.
hi
Hi, download adb fastboot and twrp recovery image for guacamoleb. then open a new command prompt (CMD) in the same location and run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file name of twrp that you download).img
after that by holding volume up + power reboot to twrp recovery that you just installed via adb fastboot command.
when you enter on twrp recovery, install twrp recovery zip, and magisk 19.3 zip (download and copy on phone storage first, after you enter on twrp when reboot, you can connect your phone with computer or USB that contain twrp recovery zip and magisk or copy to phone storage) after this step install twrp zip first than magisk and then reboot.
i hope i helped.

I have tried using fastboot boot recovery instead in cmd. The following error comes up

I have checked whether the device is connected by typing in fastboot devices and it shows as connected. Any other suggestions will be helpful.

Something similar happened to me, I was on OOS 10 stable and wiping the system and data from TWRP got in fastboot mode without being possible to do anything else. The way that I solved was flashing from fastboot the OOS 10 stable posted rom here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-t3937478 This will erase all your data but you will unbrick your phone.
One important thing, if you are on android 10 you can't flash TWRP via fasboot, maybe that's the problem you are having right now.
Hope this helps

Ok so thank you for the help and you were right. Now i have an all new different problem. In a nutshell i flashed the stock ROM for android 9 while i was in android 10. I completely forgot you aren't supposed to do that. As a result i cant even access fastboot mode now. Can you please tell me how i can fix this problem?

I think that you will need to use the MSM tool, it looks like you have a hard brick, the good news is that oneplus devices can be revived in almost all cases. I have never used the tool but I found some posts that might help you. Best of luck!

I have tried using it but the problem is that MSM download tool does not detect my phone. i have uninstalled and let windows automatically update qualcomm drivers. I have also made windows manually install them after uninstalling.
