[SOLVED] Hard bricked honor 8 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello guys
My H8 is hard bricked. There is basically no rom, no custom recovery on the phone. So it's kinda useless. I already tried to flash TWRP recovery but that doesn't work, it flashes but the phone always ends up in a bootloop. Restoring EMUI 5 through e-recovery doesn't work either. So i'm basically stuck with a phone that doesn't work at all. I was on EMUI 5 and my phone is a FRD-L09. Can anyone help me please? I've tried everything I could but nothing seems to work. Please help me, i'm stressing out.
Thanks

Have you tried the dload method by first installing the roolback then the original firmware?

Yeah I did, however the instructions weren't always clear. So I had to "guess" what I had to do.

Firstly you need to get the rollback package and the firmware for your phone from your countries Huawei's/Honor's website. Then you should unzip the files if they zipped while downloading. After that, you need to put the rollback dload package on the root of an SD card. Then keep on holding all the 3 buttons for some time, you should leave the keys after the phone vibrates and takes you to the installing screen or something((I cannot exactly remember). If you see it successfully covers the 100% then remove the rollback dload file from the SD card replace it with the firmware dload file and do the same thing that u just did. (it may take some time while flashing the firmware

[PETITION], Update.zip Huawei Mate 8 brickead NXT-L29

Hello everyone
I hope to explain myself since I do not speak English very well, I use the translator.
A few days ago I updated my Mate 8, to android 7 beta. Everything came as I expected. But when I select "restore factory settings" from settings my phone is brickeo. No android load, and says "filed" if I select "wipe data / factory reset".
For this reason I need the update.zip of my phone. But this file I only see hosted from the huawei servers that are already fallen.
And intend to put other updates of his brothers mate 8, but none with success.
SOMEONE WHO HAS HOSTED THE HUAWEI UPDATE.ZIP MATE 8 NXT-L29C636B320
Please share this file.
Or some solution to restore my phone.
Check the official stock firmware thread ,it has all the updates.http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...te-8-stock-firmware-official-t3391727/page167

I have 6 updates that I try to install using the three keys and there is no result.
Maybe if someone has mega or another server to rescue my phone, they would be too pleased.
Or another solution to put the system of another model without twrp (perhaps with adb tools)

You have mistaken by not trying different rom. Try b180 or b200 as what @gm007 said. Or did you changed the build.ro?

Honor 8 brick impossible

Good evening
Sorry in advance if this is not the right section to describe my problem,
I have a Honor 8 Chinese version of Frd-L10 I did the shredding procedure to make it European with twrp-3.1.1 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...d-l19-t3632220 then Rinived with marshmallow and then updated for you official procedure performed perfectly.
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.
The only two zones he can enter is the ignition key coming in wipe that I also ran and the normal ignition as I described above.
It does not enter key jun mode and power Fastboot & resecue
I hope in some great mind that it can help me
I hope I have described it well

Step1
Here the twrp flashable frdl19 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B63ZqpBoL_d8MFZjeTl1d2d4Mnc/view
Step2
And next dload this http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92123
Dload means extrqct thr downloaded zip and there is update.app file copy to sdcard/dload and power off your phone and press and hold all three buttons after vibrate release the power button ,it take some to complete the update.
Thats it

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 ???

At this time if boot from power the screen stays black usb dead high only the green color notification LEDs flashing ..............

HELP Honor 8 Boot-Loop After OTA out of the box [FRD-L19].

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
Rommco05 said:
Here you can find how get unlock code when you can't boot to rom. For this use program which is in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-func-11-recovery-image-t3656979/post73420440 is a ID and other staff generator

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.

Have you unlocked bootloader? If no try install B360 via dload method. B360 download over Firmware Finder

I just checked the fastboot mode it says:
Phone Locked
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
Rommco05 said:
2. Try remove password from your wifi connection and again try download recovery
Or, download full firmware B360 (2 zips) unzip both and separately put to dload foldet on sdcard

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.

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?

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...

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
Click to expand...

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

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.

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

how to install stock firmware? unable to? i really need help

so i got the stock firmware courtesy of honor... and i dont know how to install it.
ive done my google research and the guides tell me to put the UPDATE.app file onto the sd card whilst in the dload folder.. and open the dialer and type a number in then go to SD card update and when i do that instead of the EMUI recovery thing, i get TWRP.
i could boot into the erecovery menu but it will download stuff and doesnt give me the option to go off of microsd card... and i read on a couple places not to flash anything through twrp cause it could cause damage to the device, i.e bricking. and i dont know where to get a stock recovery... i saw the thread on here but it doesnt have the recovery for the BLN-L24 model of the honor 6x..
im really stuck and i dont know what to do... someone help please..
edit\\ can someone please explain what dload is? i did a google search and its download mode? something said hold down power up and down and plug usb cable into computer... i did that and it boots into twrp..?
someone help please
im almost desperate for help..

okay... well i downloaded the B366 build for my device from FF on android cause i couldnt figure out how to use the PC version.. and then transferred the zips to my computer, and did the whole Dload folder setup.. and when i went to install it from stock recovery, it would be stuck at 5% and after a few minutes it would just reboot..
so i dont think my phones stock firmware is installed.. i found some other guide where the instructions were to go on twrp and wipe all partitions and using fastboot, flash in boot, recovery, and system along with vendor (the .img files extracted from the update.app file),
and i did that and formatted the phone and stuff, and it booted to a setup screen when you first get it from the store or turn it on.. did that and my phone still doesnt work right, i.e cameras are disabled as snapchat or any apps with camera including built in app dont function, sound doesnt get produced no matter if it stereo speakers bluetooth headphones or phone call earpiece speaker, and no videos on any app will play back..
im not sure what to do now

I was in the same position as you the other day. My phone got recovered but was missing a bunch of things. It was only fixed with an OTA update.

When I made this I didn't really know much about the whole stock restoring thing with dload. What I meant about the sd card was, what people said to do, which was like hold all three buttons down (volume and power), for me it would go to erecovery and download something off the internet and format. Instead of going through the process kf installing the app file from the sd card . haha
I'm thinking about just buying a new phone. But I want to try to fix this one.

So where are you now in the process? Your phone boots but with a bunch of issues correct? Do you still need a dload explanation?
I understand dload for the most part. I got a b366 firmware from firmware finder. And it booted up with current issues still present. However this one doesn't have system update in the settings. Also found out I can't flash a rom. Well I can but it won't boot into it haha.

I know this is old but i know the fix. Your build number is incorrect. You need to flash a lower version.img than take an OTA update and youll be all set.
well is it fixed.you have to download two files one is named update.zip and is something like data_hw like that.first flash the update zip by extracting it and placing it in the dload folder and flash the second zip.only thing you have to make sure is to download the correct package or else it wont work.
