Bricked, bootloop. /cust /data failure. - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

As of now, problem solved by trial and error. I just somehow figured out how to load dload data by messing around, couldn't get it to load directly though. It's the best way to recovery bricked device I think.
Bootloader:Unlocked
FRP:Unlocked
previously installed ROM: 4.1(downgraded from 6.0), accidentally installed rollback dload file instead of EMUI 5.0 package (may not be accurate, I was quite blurry at time). What's for sure is that I tried to upgrade to EMUI 5.0 again because I couldn't do it via OTA(updates not available).
Problem: Stuck in boot loop, erecovery doesn't work, /data & /cust problem (failed to mount or something like that)
Available options: Flash via ADB fastboot.
Tried: Dload (Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_United Kingdom), soft install failed after 99%. Tried TWRP, but somehow I messed up the /data too. Previously was just /cust issue.
Please help me out here if anyone know how to fix this.
Update 1: Method used was dload with (volume up+volume down+power button) and installed(Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_United Kingdom). Successfully went back to EMUI 4.1. However, my 32GB storage became 4GB while SD card was not readable. Going to try to install it again.

Mate 7 brick ?

Hi everyone being under marshmallow 6.0 B560 with my MATE 7 TL10 I decided to Xposed installed. I read some walkthroughs on the net and at one time by restarting the laptop I saw that the system had planted (message: the system application do not answer something like that). So I did a reset wip / data / etc .. starting in TWRP manual (Version 3.0.2 UNOFFICIAL) but unfortunately I know not what means my phone is bricked? (Completely blocks the Huawei logo. So I tried to reinstall my backup I made with TWRP just before installing Xposed but I error = 255. So I tried to install a new rom it is a 5.1.1 or 6.0 or even KangVIP I have the error file is corrupted So I passed on stock recovery mode to try to re-install the official ROM, but without success.:
When I put the update.zip file or folder dload (with the file update.app) on the SD card, the system remains blocked 5%. I even tried to inject a Rom in fastboot mode with the PC but without success (blocks on the logo).
info: I can access without problems in fastboot mode and the bootloader is unlocked.
One idea to solve the problem please

i locked myself out of my phone

Hello Guys,
i have frd-twrp installed - because i had b560 on my phone.
I then had the problem that my data, cust & version was LOCKED so i formatet it (in EXT4 via twrp)
and formated my phone also - so there is no operating systeme on my phone.
only the FRD-TWRP and every image i want to install b192 for example (stock) ends in ERROR 7 even the b560.
when i try to install b560 via dload it seems like it installs and then afer reboot it suck on the bootlogo...
even when i try to rollback a backup from b192 i got the ERROR7
so what can i do?
Oh every other TWRP will end up stuck on "your device is booting" so the only twrp that works is the frd twrp... i dunno why
update:
dload with b560 goes to 100%
but then stuck at the boot animation i donno why
update:
i managed to start it with b560 SOMEHOW!
but its buggy as hell - and it says Failed to mount /data
and in systeme i dont have a keyboard?!
if someone could just upload a twrp image from l-29c432b560 that would be awesome!

Rollback to EMUI 4.1 failed, Phone does not finish booting anymore

Hello,
I'm now at a point that my Honor FRD-L09C432 does not finish booting after trying to rollback to EMUI 4.1.
The hole story:
First, i was running EMUI 5 on my FRD-L09 which was rooted.
I'm having problems with my bluetooth connection, so I decided to rollback to EMUI 4.1 B131 (latest full package)
and to start with a clean unrooted system.
First of all, i prepared a sdcard with the rollback package from honor (dload folder on sdcard). Butting in this sdacrd
and shutdown the device. Now I have started the device with vol+/- pressed to force update via dload.
Update process startet and finished sucessfull.
Now, I have placed the B131 full package on the sdcard (dload folder) and also forced update via vol+/- method
The process startet, running up to 99% and reports "failure" than.
Rebooting phone now shows only the blue background with honor logo. It does not finish booting after this.
Tried to factory reset devices with huawei recovery -> successfull, but does not help
Tried to install twrp (3.0.2.0) and to format manual system, data, cache, cust -> works for every mount point, but not for "data". Resize or format "data" partition fails also
Going to fastboot and flash manual "boot.img", "cust.img", "recovery.img" and "system.img" from unpacked B131 updated was successfull but phone even does not finish booting.
Anyone knows something how to fix the phone to get it back working?
Thanks for your help.
I would try using the dload method for the rollback package (http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92131&version=360512&siteCode=uk-h) first before repeating it for the B131 package.
Ok, I'm back in business.
Here is what i have done:
1. Flash offical twrp 3.0.2.0 with fastboot
2. Boot into recovery
3. open shell -> adb shell
4. mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/userdata
5. reboot to bootloader
6. flash recovery + recovery2
7. force update to B131 by vol+/- method
8. Reboot
If it helps thank me

Bricked honor 8 please help

Hello, today while trying to get back to stock i wierdly bircked my honor 8
I flashed the stock recovery and stock boot img
Then i flashed a rollback package and a marshmallow package which i used for this same thing before.
Now the phone didnt start for a solid 30 minutes and ive decided to reflash the rollback and marshmallow package, but after i flashed the rollback got stuck at the boot logo, not even the stock bootanimation showing up.
The phone doesnt reboot neither in any of the recoveries nor in bootloader.
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay so after all of this i managed to reboot to bootloader and get my hands on one of my previous unlock codes. So now ive got an unlocked bootoader, but after fashing twrp the phone is stuck at the 'your device is booting now' when im trying to get in it
I thing you have flashed the wrong TWRP, check for the latest version or at least the one for your build
uh well, hello there again.
i've tried to do the dload method which failed(i used lots of versions tho none worked)
and i've tried flashing marshmallow twrp, which at the moment, well, it cannot mount anything. no partition can get mounted.
Does any of you guys have an idea of what i could try?
thanks in advance
Does it mean that you have access to TWRP ? if TWRP cannot mount a partition, go into mount section, tick system, data, boot, vendor and then reboot to TWRP again. Then try your previous operation. If it cannot mount data, go into wipe, advanced wipe, and click on format data, then restart TWRP and try again
seems like i somehow broke the partition table, cause it shows every storage as 0 mb and mounting isn't available, cant tick the option. Looks like i will have to find some service center to repair it by my own cost, by the end of the month. Though im giving it around the 25th so i got some more time till then, so maybe i find some solution to this problem.
Hey, so I managed to make the phone work again.
I have flashed boot cust recovery recovery2 and system from the italian marshmallow firmware, then I flashed that same firmware using dload method(tho it failed at 99%)

You tried only once? Maybe you should now try to flash TWRP recovery and restore a backup made by TWRP. I can provide you one but for FRD-L09, not another. Another method would be to flash the rollback package and then retry flashing an EMUI 4.X ROM (dload method for both), hope you'll figure it out
I think i expressed myself wrong.
That was how i got the phone to work.
Oh lol I misunderstood because of the "it failed at 99%" and I thought the phone wasn't rebooting , no matter I'm glad you succeeded

Stuck in Bootloop! fastboot OK, can't load recovery (Failed flashes?)

Please Help- device stuck in bnoot
Current status:
Stuck in bootloop
Fastboot loads ok, can supposedly flash recovery_ramdisk & system
TWRP doesn't load after flashing recovery (or recovery_ramdisk with EMUI version) - I get "load failed" error screen
EMUI8 was probably not completely installed
Initial condition
Honor 6X w/ stock EMUI 5.1 (Nougat)
Traceback
Goal was to install LineageOS 15.01.
This is what I tried:
Unlocked bootloader (&wiped device)
EMUI8 was a pre-requisite, so followed this guide to upgrade
Ran script in guide, which loaded twrp followed by EMUI update screen (as expected)
EMUI update ran for a while, restarted (I think) at least once, but then showed failure screen
Tried rebooting- no system, stock recovery. (fastboot still loaded fine)
Couldn't install TWRP or use script anymore - after some research looked like this was because boot directories changed in Android 8 (recovery -> recovery_ramdisk)
Was able to install EMUI8 version of TWRP, but unable to flash rom or rerun update script (it used recovery2 partition, apparently changed to erecovery_ramdisk, which I couldn't flash to)
loading TWRP was unreliable, worked sometimes and didn't other times
Somewhere around here it seems like I deleted stock recovery (erecovery) while trying various workarounds
Tried installing ElementalOS
The included TWRP loaded, ROM Installation seemed to work but got error in the end (don't remember details)
rebooted device - can no longer boot to recovery ( Error screen: "Func no: 11 (recovery image) Error no: 2 (load failed!))
device stuck in bootloop and Flashing recovery_ramdisk/recovery has no effect!
can still enter fastboot without any problems
I'm hoping there's some way to recover to fix the recovery/system partitions so I can upgrade or at least revert to stock ROM!
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Well when bricked the first thing you should try to do is flash TWRP. Which isn't working now? Can you somehow re flash and boot into TWRP? What TWRP are you using. Please try this one and let me know if it boots.
https://mega.nz/#!a81EDZAR!2-9yPFh3reghkGcfSl3nRIJhHGkP8fqDsgUG66ewjkk
Another thing you could try is Dload method. It requires an SD Card. Extract the Update.zip you downloaded on your PC and now create a Folder called Dload in your SD Card and copy the contents of the extracted zip into the folder. Put SD Card in phone and Hold all three buttons i.e. Power and Volume Up & Down at the same time. Firmware should start flashing. Once it finishes, while device is booting, press and Hold Power and Volume Up to boot into eRecovery and Perform a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. The Wipe Cache and reboot. If this works, then lemme know and then I'll help you flash a Custom ROM.

Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately TWRP doesnt boot (tried flashing the image you posted, same error screen- image below)
Dload method- I can't boot into erecovery atm- not sure if it's wiped or just can't be reached.
Also- the EMUI8 update I downloaded contained 3 zips- update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, and update_data_public.zip. do I only need the update.zip? (I can't boot into erecovery anyway, so it's a moot point until I do)

Ok the SW you downloaded is NOT a Dload rom, plus you do not enter eRecovery to flash it. Use the "force" method by pressing and holding all three buttons on power up.
Download a rom from here :-
https://androidhost.ru/
Also instructions are in the zip.

Tried downloading a rom from androidhost.ru- it had the update folder structure described,
and I put the unzipped dload folder into microSD root like the instructions said.
But pressing vol up+down+power doesn't load any update screen for me.
It just goes to bootloop again.
Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
