Hi, I have a honor 8 that bootloops I can only access to fastboot not in bootloader or recovery. Bootloader is locked, i can't flash anything and i can't unlock it because I don't have the Product ID. The dload and three fingers method doesn't work. What can I try to unbrick it? I can't even turn it off.

Which number of firmware you tried via dload??
Which firmware number you were on before issue??
When you say that the dload method doesn't work, what do you get when you try it ? You have to flash the proper firmware for your phone, otherwise it will deny it, you can maybe use a rollback package.
Try the Huawei tool ... U can fix it easily and you can play around don't panic it's the first thing ...

Maybe you are doing it wrong. As long as you have a stock boot.img and a stock recovery you should be able to use this method.

If you mean Hisuite I already tried it. my PC detects the phone and hisuite launches by itself but then doesn't detect any phones. when I try the rescue tool "resuce mode enter..." appears on the screen but then hisuite says that the phone isn't compatible with the rescue mode.

Alright I think this is a good point , now that you can use the dload method you need to know under which EMUI version you were because the phone won't accept a firmware that is lower or to high compared to your actual EMUI version.
What I did when I was in your case is flashing a rollback package downloaded from honor official site and then flash an old EMUI which is under Android 6.x.
After a few tries you can make it, I hope I've been clear, English isn't my native language

Ok here i go ... Open the Huawei tool ... And follow steps to install TWRP ...turn of the phone , once it's off hold the volume button down then connect the phone to the PC that would take to some type of fastboot ! Flash recovery the 2 option .... Reboot into TWRP .. from the Huawei tool u would see and option of stock i think there u can copy the recovery OEM info system and boot option flash them all one by one .... Reboot the phone ... And you would be redirected to recovery from WiFi and now it would work since u flash the OEM info now the phone knows what to look for u won't get the getting info failed ... And that's it just makes sure u have a good stable WiFi connection ...
And like a said the more calm and relax u do these the better the first time I screw the phone I almost get a heart atack :crying: it's easy
Unable to get Product ID - Honor 8

My Honor 8 broke after it downloaded and installed the very first update. Since the failed 'update' I am NOT able to access Android at all. The phone was stuck on the Huawei eRecovery screen which fails to connect via wi-fi and is unable to connect or retrieve any information from the server to update and repair the phone. I was able to use a 'roll-back' package and install the stock firmware (FRD-AL10), but since I have done the roll-back and restored the stock firmware the phone boots to the first screen where you select your 'Region', then the 'Language', WiFi connection, Agree to the Terms & Conditions, then skip the following steps for Cloud and something else - after all this it goes back to the 'REGION' selection screen, then again the Language selection screen and so on - it just loops and never boots into Android.
Thus I am unable to get the Product ID, the unlock code, etc.
The phone is still locked and UNrooted as all the other solutions rely on the phone being UNlocked and Rooted - but since I DON'T have access to Android I cannot do anything with the phone.
Can someone help me to retrieve the Product ID from an essentially 'DEAD' Honor 8 phone??

I have followed this 'dload' process to load the stock 'FRD-AL10 - ...C00B135' onto my Honor 8, it completes successfully then the phone reboots to where I have to select the Region, then Language, then WiFi, then agree to the Agreement, etc.. then the phone 'loops' back to the Region, Language, WiFi, selection and everything from start.
Is there a way to get past this 'loop' to the point where the phone actually boots into Android?? I cannot access the Product ID, unlock or root the phone.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Guys
Maybe one of you can help me. I unlocked the bootloader flashed twrp and my phone get in trouble with self reboots every 10 minutes. So i flashed the Stock Recovery back and relock the bootloader. Now i can't make a factory reset in recovery. Every time when i boot in recovery i land in eRecovery and get screen on the picture, when i try the first option for download latest version and recovery it doesn't. The phone connect to my WIFI but thats all. The error is Getting package info failded! So what can i do to solve this :fingers-crossed::good:

I flashed the C432B186 with HWOTA methode. First i Unlock the bootloader in adb, let low factory reset running, after the reboot i boot in bootloader again and start the HWOTA tool and let install the TWRP, then i unplugged my phone and boot in TWRP and choose "Swipe for Modification" (that is nowhere mentioned, because when you choose "Keep read Only" it will failed, at least on my phone, don't know whether it fail on every phone), then i plugged the phone in again and did the steps that HWOTA tool shows me and it works perfect. After the first boot up i boot in Recovery with adb command and the option for factoy reset in eRecovery is back :good:

I just was able to use eRecovery to go back to stock (and upgrade from B180 to B190 on USA model MHA-L29C567).... so it did work for me.
I had the same problem. Actually it can be solved quite easily. reboot the system with a United States SIM card insert, then shutdown the system, enter eRecovery again, now everything works as perfect as before. I think Huawei judge your location by the SIM card you use.

As far as i know you need a unlock code, but Huawei didn't give any code since 1 or 2 month. On the other hand i sold my Mate 9 a couple of days after the Problem was solved :good:

used DCunlocker spend around 19eu but no go, brought to the shop's here in the middle kingdom & they got it fixed but now No Sound. there was a cloud password so they kinda have a long time to fix it. 1 day.
Oh BT sound is OK.
Some context:
My MHA-L29C432B138 with TWRP got an OTA update on the phone itself, and I wanted to update (it wanted me to update to B182).
Since I had TWRP replacing the stock recovery I could not flash it through the normal way, so I went ahead to replace TWRP with the stock recovery so I could update.
I was unable to flash the stock recovery since I had no access to flashing in fastboot (FRP Lock, PHONE Unlocked, OEM unlocking option greyed out in developer settings), so I attempted to relock so I could unlock again, hoping that would solve my issue (fastboot oem relock KEY).
By doing this my phone went into a reset, now I'm stuck at FRP Lock, PHONE Relocked, and I can only access the bootloader and eRecovery.
eRecovery is attempting to download updates but fails every time, and I can't use HiSuite to do a system recovery neither (says my device is not supported).
So this is where I'm stuck, any help would be nice!

Try to unlock after this.
This does low-level format.
My device: Mate 9 supersu B190 Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)
Everything in fastboot (flashing, locking, unlocking) was unavailable, eRecovery was not working, HiSuite said my device was not supported, and dload didn't work neither (tried 3 different firmware versions).
After spending 1-2 hours on Telegram with others I ended up using funkyhuawei with eRecovery, only thing that worked for me.
Last time I buy a Huawei device for sure, their own services don't even work (eRecovery, HiSuite).

As I said here, for your case the patched HiSuite method would have worked. But it's too late now, you paid, I was in holidays.. I know it's a shame that HiSuite says unsupported or erecovery not working but you could have made your phone compatible by writing some text in a file and using Lucx's script instead of paying funkyhuawei, their service never worked for me.

Now when restoring via Kies or Smart Switch phone writes errors about loss of DRK-key, dm-verify error and other.

flashing the oldest rom from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ with Odin worked for me. You don't need to flash all the firmwares in reverse order, just the oldest, then FRP unlock using any of the working methods ! Once unlocked you can flash the newest from sammobile

Hi! 2 month after I get S7 edge from ebay. When I turn phone to bootloader I see on screen "FRP LOCK ON". And I just google it how to bypass s7 edge google lock. One video I found.
Step 1. Downgrade to 6.0.1
Step 2. Just watch to video.
Video name is " Bypass Google Account (FRP) Protection on Android on All Samsung S6, S7 edge Android N 7 0"

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]
Hello to everyone!!
I have a problem with my Honor 8, it is the FRD-L09 model firmware B394.
I installed Firmware Finder from Playstore and tried to downloaded the B402 version, it downloaded a lot of packages ota and then tried to install the update without success.
After that, when I turn on the phone, there is this message. If I push the power button the phone starts.
I don't know if it can be useful but if I go into fastboot mode the phone says: phone unlocked and frp locked, but I haven't unlock the bootloader. The phone is new, purchase from the honor site.
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT: I was able to resolve the problem with the rollback guide of huawei, flashing MM via dload!!
When you update with FF, I recommend to use the change DNS thing. Just for the future.

You can try to reinstall EMUI on it. There is a guide called "back to emui from custom roms", which requires the openkirin twrp, though. Anyway, did you check that you have firmware access with IMEI?

When using either option, in System Update press the 3dot menu and select full package. This will download one large update rather than the multiple OTA files.

Typically you get this problem when you install an update without locking the bootloader.. This happened with me couple of weeks back.. I think happens, cos during the process of the update the bootloader gets locked, but it doesnt come up on the fastboot (donno why)
I just unlocked the bootloader using the OEM code and voila it worked... I was able to get ride of this message as well as root the phone.. Do try and let me know!

Guys! Hello again... I'm still blocked with android 8.1 on elm29 sp5c900. I understand that c900 is global, Huawei still tells me that an update will come soon, but nothing. Erecovery doesn't find nothing on server and hisuite doesn't help me at all. Now the question... Is there a problem if I download an update file from firmware finder and install it with forced update (power plus volume buttons)? Can I brick the device, since I don't have a backup file or original software

Firmware downloaded through Firmware finder won't install via forced update, you can use service ROM (download though androidhost dot ru) and place it on usb OTG and force it. Or you can use patched Hisuite method to update https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146/page132
Yes it can brick, anything can happen but very unlikely, just backup your device through Hisuite before trying that if you want to keep your personal data(won't back up firmware, only apps, contacts etc.)
C900 hw/normal does not get any update.
Just force some updated base via dload package or via forced hisuite with dns spoofed.
Thanks for your answers! So... The steps will be... 1. Download "update full base. app"
2. Place it on root folder in dload folder
3. Update it via forced update (power button plus both volume buttons)
I've found on firmware finder update.app file. This works via dload method?

Yes it can brick, anything can happen but very unlikely, just backup your device through Hisuite before trying that if you want to keep your personal data(won't back up firmware, only apps, contacts etc.)

Thanks for your answers! So... The steps will be... 1. Download "update full base. app"
2. Place it on root folder in dload folder
3. Update it via forced update (power button plus both volume buttons)
I've found on firmware finder update.app file. This works via dload method?

For dload, you ll have to use an USBOTG, exfat formatted.
On 8.1, Use a 9.0 dload's update.app .
Once on 9.0, use a 9.1 dload's update_sd.zip
Alternative is to use forced hisuite.-If so uodzte first to 9.0 then 9.1.

Thanks a ton. I will try with dload. Is more simple
Forced hisuite doesn't work! Gives me only update to android 8.0. Firmware finder on pc doesn't give me my version sp5c900, so I can't download any firmware. Now I don't trust FF on phone neither. What if this gives wrong firmware, since my emui version is not suported. ****

Meaning there is no update on hicloud server available for C900.
True. Damn huawei ****ty version.
Thx a lot #oslo for advices
I've spoked (finally) with someone from Huawei on chat, and after verifying my serial number she told me that my phone is a demo version. F%$&. So, no Android 9 for me. Still, my phone works flawlessly. Since I'm stuck on 8.1 I want to root it and play a little more. Can you give me an idea how to root it? Thanks

First, is this device is with an unlocked bootloader ? (and/or do you have the unlock code ?)
To check bootloader/phone status, boot to fastboot/bootloader mode :
Plug device to PC with Hisuite, reboot P20 and Hold volumeDown on P20 until it boot on white screen ;
What is your Phone status ?
Sorry for late response. Bootloader is locked.
"phone locked.
FRP UNLOCKED"
And I don't have bootloader code.
So you won't mind that dload packages are locking back bootloader as it is already locked...
