Bricked Honor 8 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hallo all,
I’ve bricked my Honor 8. I’ve tried to fix the “failed to mount ´/data´”
problem (if i remember it right) by changing the data format with twrp
3.1.1.0 from F2FS to ext4 back to F2FS. After that I got “failed to mount
´/cust´ - ´/vendor´ - ´/system´ and ´/product´ (invalid argument)
What doesn´t work to unbrick:
The HiSuite sytem-recovery – system is not supported
The Huawei – eRecovery: after connect Wifi: Package not found - Package data failed (something like that)
Rollback to Android 6.0: works - rebooted in eRecovery mode and changed emui to "cant connect to Wifi".
ADB fastboot:
Trying to flash the
- boot.img (works)
- recovery.img (works)
- system.img - > FAILED (remote: spare flash write failure) WHY?
The dload-method:
trying the Stock Rom Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI
4.1_C432B131_Western Europe.zip – chrashed at 5%
Would be very thankful for help.

Update
After a lot frustration and my last hope to send it to a repair service I remembered the first problem, when i´ve tried to install a custom rom with the error message that includes: “This package is for: FRD L09….. blabla. THIS DEVICE IS EVA” EVA stands for Honor P9.
So I´ve tried to install “HUAWEI_P9_Firmware_EVA-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1.1_C432B182_Western Europe.zip” with the dload-SDcard method.
And…. it works. So, now I’ve a Honor 8 that says “I’m a P9”
Can please someone explain what happened to my smartphone and is there a chance to install custom rom or stock based on Honor 8? :cyclops:

Basically twrp took over the recovery partition, so erecovery couldn't do it's thing and activate wifi what you can do is use the rollback package, then flash the regular recovery (from the full package) and use that to fully recover your device.

I only can use the rollback package from the Honor P9 und i´ve did. But it doesn´t change my phone back into a Honor 8 rom device and doesn´t reactivate the WIFI.
I think you are right and twrp_3.1.0. changed from LRP to EVA. There are not many steps i´ve done. I´ve unlocked it and flashed twrp. But why and how and how change it back to LRP?

Alright. If I were you I'd try something, download the emui 4 full package for the honor 8, use the update extractor to pull recovery off of it.
Plug the phone in and hold power+volume down to access fastboot, and flash the recovery image, now use the roll back honor 8 package or see if you can flash the regular honor 8 package with dload.

Thanks ..
I might as well post this here -> -> How to: Root and repair data on the FRD-L04 - B320
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70266853&postcount=262
Will android pay stop working even if I use the official beta 7.0?
Thanks man, but is there any successful way to flash B324 so far?
Is Wi-Fi calling enabled in this beta?
Managed to do the same using Charles app (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-to-nougat-t3510275/post69885525#post69885525) without any unlocking and flashing.
I have the FRD-L04B567 phone. I installed the TWRP for the Honor 8. I have installed a different ROM (CM13.1 ROM) successfully. I followed your instructions to the "T" in post #1 . The install of update.zip stopped at /cust with an error. I tried wiping and rebooting but am stuck in the "honor" bootup screen. Unable to force back into TWRP or fastboot or ADB at this time. Still picking up the pieces....
UPDATE: I forced phone into Huawei eRecovery screen and selected factory reset/wipe That got Nougat running but there is no keyboard and Google will only allow voice for any input. Since my wifi is encrypted, I cant give Nougat a password to get on the internet. I am creating a temporary unencrypted network to see if I can get further.
UPDATE: TWRP was wiped so I will reinstall. Then I will try update the regional update (second update mentioned)
UPDATE: Reflashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Honor 8, I can get into the bootloader but not recovery, eRecovery works but...(worthless). I cant flash the second update.zip because I cant get TWRP started. Obviously 3.0.2.0 is not compatible with Nougat, I may try 3.0.3.0? why not...
UPDATE - Flashing TWRP 3.0.3.0 was dumb. Now ADB sees the device (good) but I can not get to bootloader or recovery. TWRP flashes (displays) once a second and will not start (bad) . Hopefully someone can learn from my quest.
So, can someone help me proceed from a state where ADB sees the device? thanks Maybe extract update.zip?

Have you tried Huawei's hisuite? It has a recovery option..

Thanks for the reply, I finally got TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Honor 8 flashed (but now it won't work), I believe Nougat and TWRP aren't compatible. Huawei Hisuite said that phone was fine and recovery not necessary??? I disagree. I think I will have to wait for TWRP that is Nougat compatible with FRD-L04

If you want to get back to any working state, i recovered from 7.0 unbootable to vanilla 6.0 like so (for frd-l09, but probably still applies):

// edit, also for completeness, i then flashed twrp 3.0.2 (official) and installed the cm 7.1.1 from the other thread here. All working fine.
fuflo,
thank you for your reply, it helped me get my Honor 8 back up and running.... I am now running CM 14.1 and Nougat 7.1.1 on my FRD-L04

Look again in the thread closely, you'll find another script to go to B320
Same problem as above, I could flash the update.zip, but not the USA package, maybe I didn't have the right TWRP version?

[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,
Seven-
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

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

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

I accidentally installed a wrong TWRP as my eRecovery partition

Hi guys! In Huawei MultiTool, I accidentally installed a Nougat TWRP to my eRecovery partition with the default EMUI 2-5 option and accidentally hit the 'Flash as eRecovery' option. I tried flashing it back via fastboot, I also tried Huawei MultiTool and HiSuite's Recovery options, but all of them failed. How can I fix it?
UPDATE: I used the MultiTool's Unbrick option and eRecovery is now back!
Hello, same thing happend to me a time ago. You must download an original firmware same as already installed, then download huawei firmware extractor and flash the original recovery via huawei multitool method. it works well for me. Im on FRD-L02C432B407 EU version. Hope it would be helpful. Good luck !

Need Help to Unbrick Honor 6x

Hello Friends,
i need help after bricked my Honor 6x. I can not flash TWRP recovery anymore. The smartphone was on EMUI 8 (India version). Now I can only go into the StockRecovery or the eRecovery. Attached is a picture of the information from the smartphone. I urgently need help.
Thank you
Can you enter fastboot? Try dload method. It works. What were you doing that caused the brick

I tested dload- methode but after 5% it failed. I don't know which Firmware i must use. For the BLN-L21 no Oreo oder Pie available. I have India Version of Oreo on my phone, then i installed Elemental Rom V2 from this forum.
What exactly did you do? To cause this brick. After flashing Elemental and Data did you run kernel? Unzip the small archive UpdateKernal and run update.bat Where did you go wrong?

I have the same problem: Honor 6x bricked and dload metod doesnt work. PHONE and FRP are locked I need help
I don't know exactly why it was. I first used the Huawei Multi Tool to see what it showed me. There he showed it to me with firmware version "System 8.0.0.046(0EFK)". After that I connected to the internet via a friend's hotspot and tried to recover everything via eRecovery, but it didn't work. Then I switched off the phone, flashed the StockRecovery again via Fastboot, set it to factory settings and rebooted it. Then again into eRecovery and there to Shutdown. Then I installed the twrp-recovery, Wipe -> Format Data (yes), Reboot to Recovery, Wipe -> Data/Cache, Dalvik Cache and then the EMUI 8 from the India version was installed again via the HuRupdater. Now I have RROS from OpenKirin on it. Everything at your own risk. All data without guarantee. I am not responsible for errors or damages on your devices.

anyone know how to restore a mediapad t5 back to factory? or unbrick?

i have a Canadian Mediapad T5 AGS2-LO3
and im stuck booting only to twrp
i have been able to get to fastboot using the hisuite factory software
but im limited to dead slow internet right now so have not explored that.
anyone have a factory twrp image bakup they are willing to upload i can try?
(always backup dammit)
I have a backup of my AGS2-W09 (0CEC432) but I'm afraid it will not work.
How did you got it stuck?
Did you tried installing LineageOS 16 (from OpenKirin website) by any chance?
I have a TWRP (twrp_mate9_0.1.img ) made by Pretoriano80 but I could not backup the data partition without errors ... most likely because of Android's File-Based Encryption being anebled on this device.
I want to disable FBE to enable adoptable storage (as my model has 16GB) but I need a custom ROM like LineageOS.
Thus I am tempted to flash it
Thanks in advance!
PS: might want to check out another similar thread: link
Plug your tablet into current, press vol+ & pwr btn and it will appear the 3 option menu from the "unlocked device" message. Just keep pressed vol+ until you boot into eRecovery. Just recovery the system and then you'll restore literally all from your tablet (you'll do the unlock process again).
I also have the AGS2-LO3 variant.
And I cannot find a original huawei full recovery image.
Huawei MediaPad T5 (AGS2-L03) official firmware
Huawei MediaPad T5 AGS2-L03 official firmware (rom - Flash File) all build with direct link for free
huawei-firmware.com
There is only one update image in the official site which there are 200 or so for the L09 variant.
I am scared to mess with the firmware now and there is no way I can reflash it if something go wrong.
I tried
fastboot boot twrp_mate9_0.1.img
but it gives me error. Not sure why, this command works for my pixel.
And I cannot install magisk because there is no boot.img to be found.
Anyone can shed some light on how can I do it?
I think L03 is probably the current variant they manufacture as the firmware is from 2021 rather than 2019.
I have already opened up the back cover and unloaded the bootloader.

Just install a compatible twrp. P8 lite 2017 should work but I recomend you to use the one in my guide for installing LOS18.1 Don't use commands, just use vol+ & pwr button WITHOUT connecting it to anything. If you want stock recovery, just download it from here pal.
