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

Hi !
To prepare the Nougat update I wanted to go back to original rom but I'm currently stuck on honor blue screen. I was on CM13 with encryption erase.
For info I was on FRD-L09C432B131
What I did :
Flash the original recovery
Put the dload folder with the full rom uptade.app inside
Reboot with vol+ and vol-
Installation was ok
But at the reboot i'm stuck on honor screen
I tryed to wipe data/factory reset and cache from the original recovery but doesn't change anything.
Every help is appreciate.
Thanks guys.
I unlocked again my bootloader but wasn't able to format custom partition, message : FAILED (command remote not allowed)
I'm not able to erase anything too, same message.
I was able to flash boot, recovery, cust and system. I flash again the rom with dload but get stuck again in honor screen. A Factory reset don't resolve my problem.
I think my encryption is still broken because when I unlock again the bootloader and flash TWRP I can't wipe anything, message : Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument). Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Is there a way to do anything ? This phone is driving me mad..
Thanks !
You need to flash first the rollback update from honor site, then flash b131
I was not on Nougat. Are you sure ?
I'm actually on the same boat. I can't seem to get it working either, I first did the rollback update from the Honor site than flashed the update firmware they had on there. That didn't work. Then I tried going into e-recovery, and try doing that. This say's it was successful, but I'm still stuck on the honor screen on boot.
To be clear again I wasn't on Nougat, were you ? If yes your problem is not the same. Good luck anyway..
Problem fix. I was using an old twrp, the one I used to root the device. I tryed with the TWRP suggest for flashing CM13 and I was finally able to wipe the DATA partition.
After that after flashing the B131 via the dload folder I could boot to the original rom.
Hope my wasted night fighting with my H8 can help someone.
I'm a morron but I definitely hate Honor.

Hwlp me out..to restore the os pleaseeeee
Hello, I would like some help since I got this device just yesterday.
I got it with the EMUI 4 Android 6.0 stock installed on it. Since there was no update for it I unlocked the bootloader installed twrp rooted and manually flashed EMUI 5 7.0. Everything worked fine.
I created a backup through TWRP and restored it succefully multiple times.
Then I installed the Meticulus TWRP (since I was told it is a prerequisite for the AOSP). I Flashed the AOSP but it stuck during the boot animation (30 minutes afterwards I powered it off).
I reflashed my old TWRP and tried restoring my backup. IT fails with the explanation "Cannot wipe /vendor" while at the top it says "Cannot mount /vendor (invalid argument)" "Cannot mount /product (invalud argument)".
Anyone has a clue how to fix this? Fastboot adb all works so there should be a way to boot into an OS properly?
Since AOSP was not booting i guess you forgot formatting /data partition to ext4... And did u Used Stock vendor and not openkirin ones ?
Gesendet von meinem Honor 6X mit Tapatalk
As said I have replaced the custom TWRP with the default one so I think this should not apply anymore?
The "cannot mount vendor/product" messages came from the default TWRP after I reflashed it again.
At the top it says "cannot mount /vendor" either so I guess that is the actual problem?
It would be nice to get teh AOSP up but I really want to be able to boot into something first honestly.
And did u Used Stock vendor and not openkirin ones

Can you please explain? When I flashed your ROM i was on your TWRP. Does this even matter anymore?
At best I would be able to restore my backup.
To me it appears to be caused by the vendor partition.
Is there any way I can manually create that through TWRP?

Yes you can but not creating it through twrp, but flashing it by fastboot mode: this is because
image (.img) files needs to be flashed by fastboot mode to avoid any kind of problem.
So, you should look for the last version of stock firmware on which you was before going custom, like BLN-L21CXXXB368 for example; tell me your build number and I'll find the package for you. Then, extract from the UPDATE.APP (a very big file that contains every partition in your phone like recovery, vendor, data, ecc. - you'll find this file inside the zip archive that contains the downloaded update) the vendor.img using Huawei Update Extractor, and then flash it through fastboot mode using the command "fastboot flash vendor vendor.img".
Otherwise, you could rely on dload method to reflash a full update package, and this should really fix everything since that it'll be like a new and clean installation of the OS. Then, unlocking the bootloader again and reflash TWRP to finally restore your previous backup made when it was working would be the final step.
Feel free to ask for further help
Thanks for the reply first really appreciate it.
I got the device on EMUI 4 Marshmallow rooted it and unlocked the bootloader then installed the BLN-L21C185B140 which worked smoothly.
I used that update.zip and extracted into dload root folder and started the huawei recovery installer but it said "package not found".
I tried flashing something to vendor before with fastboot but it said command not allowed.
Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Latest build on Nougat after the update was BLN-L22C185B140 so? If yes, the package that you need to download is that one. Unluckily i can't help about dload method, i never had fortune using dload because package verification always failed at 5%, i tried every combination but without success.
Command not allowed while flashing vendor image... but flashing others, like recovery or boot.img is allowed? If yes, i don't know what's causing this sorry... I'm sure that my friend @shashank1320 could surely help more than me about how using dload method correctly. Check his signature, it should contain a guide on how to use it

For fastboot yes flashing recovery or boot do work but vendor does not. Maybe the ISO is corrupted somehow I will try it again on a different machine now with the tool.
The link you posted the dload method from is the one where I initially found it as well so yea.
Also it shouldn't matter what I install since the only thing I need is the actual vendor (and product?) partition to work. I have a functional backup just TWRP cannot create/mount the partitions. So even a way to just create them without any data would actually fix my problem (at least I hope so?)
When trying to use Fastboot to flash the vendor/product img I get remote: Command not allowed (yes my bootloader is unlocked) although I can flash the recovery without any problem.
The dload method does not work as said. I placed the extracted content of the update.zip into the dload folder but the software "cannot find" the package.

@RedSkull23, thanks for the tag mate.
@algg, No need to flash the vendor image as you already had the stock vendor img.
Now what else you can try is to flash the stock recovery, boot to stock recovery, select factory reset and reboot. It should most probably fix the issue.
If not, reflash the TWRP, a regular TWRO available and not specific to elite or meticulous, but generic one given by OldDroid.
I hope you have downloaded the content for dload, if not, download these for B140.
Flash this via TWRP- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...afnaf/update_data_full_BLN-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip
no further changes and Then use dload method for this file- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1756/g1755/v105054/f1/full/update.zip
Try above and provide feedback. This is what I could think of best possible way to have everything with all system app working.
If not, let me know and I will try to help further.
Hi, I thought I need the vendor image since TWRP (all versions) tell me "Could not mount/wipe vendor" and "Could not mount/wipe product" "invalid argument" for both.
I tried the factory reset before but it does not work. It stops at 23% then shows a red exclamation mark and just goes to the original screen with the 3 buttons (restart, shutdown and wipe).
I am currently trying to get it to recognize my sd card. But somehow it does not work through TWRP it just does not recognize the 8GB SD Card. Also I am currently on the TWRP I was before all of this happened (3.1 openkirin). Without the SD Card recognized I can't put the dload files for it on it and in turn I can't use the dload.
I mean technically it should very well be possible to fix the device since it isn't a real brick and even TWRP and Fastboot load. It's just that all those little things are somehow ruining it.
Edit: I will get a new micro sd for some reason this one does nt work. I'll say then whether the flash then dload worked.
@shashank1320
Mind explaining why I should first use TWRP to flash something and then on top of it use dload?
And why those specific files?

Sure, let me explain.
The first file is the data file which will install few systems apps like file manager, updater, themes, clock, fm radio etc. This will work via dload as well but the installation time is around 3-7 seconds so, over the course of time and flashing few times, i realised that these PV files cannbe flashed via TWRP and it works perfectly fine specific to PV files( twrp won't supoort other stock zips). We foash this first so that it updates your buld number and also does not replace the recovery with stock (as if you flash the main update zip first, it will replace with stock recovery so flashing the 2nd file will be quick but with unstable system apps, sometime).
Now we flash the main zip file with update.app via dload and it Install the main firmware for boot, vendor, recovery, system, usrdata etc.
Hope this explanation helps, if not let me know and I will rephrase myself.
It does help. I did all of this and now in the dload app I get "Software install failed Incompatibilty with current version please download the correct update package".
When I flashed the zip you linked me with TWRP it said "cannot mount /data /vendor /product". Appearently data cannot be mounted since it is encrypted.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong? Or is this device now a real brick with functioning recovery but without OS?
Is there any way I can "debug" what is going on while the boot animation is playing?
What is confusing me is that the boot animation plays just normal but it simply does not continue to the actual OS.

Not bricked..its just Data is not mounted or encryption. Should never encrypted it. NVM.
Do one thing, boot to twrp recovery. Try flashing and get error, then go to main TWRP page and click on reboot, select recovery out of 4 options( power off, system, bootloader and recovery). It will boot to recovery, now try flashing it again and see. Most if the time it helps.
Else, go to main page, select wipe, click on format rather than wipe here, it will prompt for typing Yes to confirm. Biit to recovery from main twrp page ( as mentioned above). And try this same thing of formatting data couple of times and then flash the zip and then dload.
I know these are tedious steps but inhave revived my device many a times with all these tricks after some efforts.
Good luck
YAY it works.
Just to recap what I did:
I flashed your thing first through TWRP tried to flash your other link with dload (which did NOT work)
Then I flashed the thing (emui5 Android 7 for Europe) through TWRP played in my old backup of exactly this through TWRP cleared dalvik & cache.
Then I waited 20 minutse and now it started.
Really thanks to all of you very nice people here. I would be very baffled if it wasnt able to repair the device since Fastboot and Recovery still work.
But Huaweis recovery is beyond terrible.

hello iv been trying to flash emui 5.0 firmware but i always get the same error when i flash the system.img it says FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
and when i tried to flash the cust.img i get FAILED (remote: partition error). so like you figured i damaged the partition
i tried to wipe cache, format data but still doesn't work to flash the system.img and the cust.img but the boot and recovery images are fine to flash.
i also tried the dload method with no luck. so it started of when i updated to nougat 7.0 emui 5.0 from emui 4.1 marsmallow 6.0.1 it didn't update properly and i got some other version
with only google voice input, and crashed. so i decided to flash it manually instead in fastboot but before i flashed i went in to twrp and wiped everything and formated the data.
then i flashed the boot,recovery,cust,system images from the update.app to emui 5.0 for my device but then i damage my partition and got stuck on a boot loop. after that i went
in twrp and wiped everything again flashed the images again but then system and cust img failed errors above. would appreciate any assistance thank you.
are you able to flash any custom ROM?
Try booting to TWRP from TWRP and see if it makes any different instead directly wiping and booting.

You need to flash the TWRP 3.1 for EMUI 5.0. Once you flash the correct file you can boot.
Do one thing, remove USB and just press power key, it will boot to system.
Sorry my bad english.
If you connect the phone to PC, you can browse the internal or external storage?
If you do, or you have an sdcard, use it to dload mode to flash firmware. Use rollback package to revert back to an old firmware. And don't use twrp to flashing firmwares. Its wont work perfectly with nougat firmwares. Dont use it.
From twrp did not work for me. This method send my phone to bootloop and later just booting to erecovery, or stay a permanent bootloop. TWRP gone and just the dload method works 100 percentage.

best part is your efforts paid and you restored your phone.
Update: I tried flashing TWRP by Askuccio through fastboot and I successfully did. Then I flashed PixyOS v2.4 and flashed it successfully then flashed Gapps and stock recovery then followed rest of the required steps and everything went smooth and right. Using PixyOs now. Great rom with great stability with Android P. ?
I was on Oreo on my 6x. I wanted to flash this pixyos rom on my Honor 6x. I unlocked the bootloader of my phone installed the Twrp successfully without any hassle. Now it was time to flash PixyOs and unfortunately I did not do any backup of any sort. The PixyOs Package showed some error when I tried to clean flash it. And here we go my phone had No Os now. I searched a lot and found this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317
I gave it a try step by step thinking about that it would work but after successfully following all the mentioned steps and flashing everything I got this "System failed" error when the device was booting. In other words it didn't work eventually.
I tried the dload method with the same update zip from the thread linked above but it failed too.
I tried erecovery to restore my device but it gave me "Getting package info failed".
I don't know what to do now. Please help me with this and help me restore my phone.
I had the same issue
i made something like this a month ago
only one temporary solution worked is flashing EliteRom via twrp and i got the phone working again but still can't flash a stock rom.

I tried the dload method with the same update zip from the thread linked above but it failed too.
I tried erecovery to restore my device but it gave me "Getting package info failed".
I don't know what to do now. Please help me with this and help me restore my phone.

Can you boot to fastboot. What did the PC say when you ran the script. Try to flash TWRP if EMUI 5 and then press and hold Volume Up and Power to boot into it. If it works, good. If not then again boot to bootloader and try to flash TWRP of EMUI 8. Again try to boot into it. If it works, good. Anyway, once you're in TWRP don't let your phone turn off. Plug it in charging. Now go-to wipe, and format data

i made something like this a month ago
only one temporary solution worked is flashing EliteRom via twrp and i got the phone working again but still can't flash a stock rom.

I'd suggest you to try PixyOs (With Askuccio TWRP). It's a great and fluid ROM. Only downside is it doesn't have Stock Emui camera and I didn't even try flashing it because I read somewhere that it causes the device to get stuck in bootloop.

Thank You for your reply.
my device is BL-L21 version (EU variant)
I saw this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-aospextended-6-4-honor-6x-t3935711
So rebranded my phone to indian model to get emui 8 according to this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onj2Z5eh7Mo
Then flashed this custom askuccio recovery : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qvIgmlPPJ0amS8-aNEIG3xDKc9tHxrW7/view
Now in custom recovery followed the instructions (wipe system cache dalvik data) but could got errors like "could not mount this" "unable to unmount that"
At the time I didn't know all I had to do was to change filesystem then get back to previous one.
So I went into fastboot erase system, data ,cache.
I also wiped internal storage, which I think was the big mistake I've done.
Then back into recovery flash asop6.4 and let it do it's thing, it got stuck on boot screen for quite some time.
When I got back to it, EMUI eRecovery stated something went wrong and proposed to factory reset device. Which I did but gave an error.
Now I tried
* dload method https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240, download link is dead btw.
after copying dload to /sdcard/ and rebooting with vol+/vol-/pwr down, gives : "software install failed"
* HurUpdater, I have trouble finding the correct update.zip/update_all_hw.zip/update_data_public.zip files. Since I can't boot any rom right now I can't use Firmware Finder app.
I also tried to look into /tmp/recovery.log. deleted it because too big, just wanted the result of HurUpdater but I guess permissions have changed and now nothing gets written to it.
* eRecovery to try to get back to stock and do it all over but it didn't work, which is normal since everything is unlocked in the phone.
device then reboots and goes to eRecovery.
I just want to get AOSPExtended running, what should I do ?
Oh yeah also, beginner mistake : I don't have any backup.
Did I do something wrong to get no answers?
