Yesterday I tried to install the BR 5.0 OTA on my RETAIL AR xt1032, it failed so I converted it to the stock XT1033 br firmware, tried to install the ota, failed again, apparently only for unlocked bootloaders.
My bootloaders is locked.
So then I wanted to go back to my original rom, so I downloaded fastboot_falcon_retar_user_4.4.2_KXB20.9-1.10-1.9_7_release-keys-cid12-Latam_AR.tar.gz with the intentions of installing the OTA afterwards.
Can't boot, tried tons of gpt.bin's.
Right now I get remote failure when flashing gpt.bin and I think also boot.img
tried fastboot, mfastboot, flashall.bat /eu
When trying to boot I get
fastboot reason: fall-through from normal boot mode
version downgraded for boot
failed to validate boot image.
help will be appreciated
You can boot the phone? I mean, it works? Or stuck somewhere

It doesn't boot, when trying to boot normally it flashes the logo and goes straight to fastboot with the fall-through normal boot reason.
And I can't flash gpt.bin and other files, I get preflash errors or remote failures. I think it's because the bootloader is locked, but I don't wanna unlock it Plus I don't know If I can even get the IMEI from this point.
Try unlocking the bootloader. But im with the same problem. I were on 5.0 and then tried to downgrade to KK. My phone doesnt boot anymore.. it seems we have to wait for an official 5.0 firm

info request replies "imei: " on fastboot
EDIT: I thought I needed IMEI for unlocking bootloader .. I unlocked it and booted right away, flashed 4.4.4 br retail again, applied ota through recovery, enjoying Lollipop.
Long story short fully wiped system with TWRP, then messed up more and deleted TWP, Erecovery doesn't work, Fastboot&Rescue mode says "Phone Locked" and also "FRP Unlock" In red. ADB recognizes the device but says unauthorized, and i'm just looking to restore this to the STOCK image.
Someone help please?
Found Phone : MHA-L29
mHA-L29C636B180 ( I believe this is the firmware, I may be wrong since I flashed a few different custom ROMs)
You need to unlock bootloader again.
It should say Phone Unlocked.
After that, follow this to update/reinstall firmware: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108

Yeah I did and nothing worked but I got my phone to work as normal by rollinbck to marshmallow from huawei offical update.app and dload forcing it. Now my bootloader is even locked.
Did you try dload method?
It should put your phone back to stock firmware.
I was trying to flash an oeminfo file from a C432 on to my bln-l24 after flashing Elite 5.1. I mistakenly thought I could rename oeminfo to oeminfo.img and flash with twrp. Well, I did that, and now I have a brick. At first, all I could get to was erecovery, which would fail when I let it do its thing. I've tried to flash B360 back on it using the 3 finger method with no luck. I flashed to MM rollback package, which was successful but still would only boot to erecovery. I flashed the full MM package, which again was successful. However, not it just hangs on the blue honor screen after the boot animation. I can't do anything in fastboot without getting a Command Not Allowed message since I am FRP locked. Any ideas? Hopefully I'm not SOL....Thanks.
Flash boot.img
It's very simple, flash the boot.img of MM or Nougat if that is the one you successfully flashed. It should work. Don't freak out.

I can't. Everytime I try to flash something in fastboot, it says command not allowed
Download Huawei Multi Tools by Team MT
Download the above and use it to unbrick your phone ?
Just start your device in bootloader and run "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXX" with our unlocking code again.
Even if it states to be unlocked on the screen already.
Good luck!

Tried it, I get Command Not Allowed error message. I think the problem is I'm FRP locked as well, which interferes with a lot of fastboot commands. Thanks for the assistance though.
as you have flashed the OEMINFO of C432, you need to flash the update.app files for BLN-L21C432, available here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-successful-debranding-to-bln-t3701050
by any chance you are able to access TWRP now?
if the 1st method doesnt work then refer this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-unbrick-bln-l24-rollback-to-b310-t3695154
if not, then on DC Phoenix is your option. you can more info in multi tool thread under Honor 7 section.
Hey XDA folks, today I've flashed oreo in l09c10b521 using TWRP and HuRupdater. In this process I've flashed HuRupdate.zip then all three files got flashed, unfortunately I formated data partition and rebooted. After reboot, phone didn't booted until I perform factory reset in stock recovery. Finally phone booted up but no Setup Wizard, no Gapps, only filemanger and some emui apps.
In Dev options OEM unlock option is faded/greyed out. Unable to flash anything in ADB
>> Is there any way so that I can go back to Nougat and use Gapps <<
If its not possible then how can I install Gapps?

Similar here with some differences. FRP-Locked, Phone unlocked, TWRP previously installed. I Can't install stock recovery because FRP locked. No Gapps, no keyboard, just some Huawei apps. OEM Unlock is grey, but bootloader unlocked.
The same happened to me, this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/firmware-huawei-honor-8-frd-l09-stock-t3696921 helped to rollback and everything works fine .

I've tried dloading vendor(update hw_ru.img) but it failed, then I tried main(update.app) firmware then also failed.

Same here.
First you have to dload the main firmware file, then the renamed vendor.

When you try this method, the bootloader and phone (FRP) in locked state? Or Bootloader unlocked?
My phone is just booting just to Stock recovery, eRecovery or fastboot, but the "OS" won't boot. If I restart, or power on my phone just boot to eRecevery. Now in the fastboot mode the bootloader and FRP in locked state.
All software install failed.
No luck over 5-6 hours. All firmwares I want to flash ended "Software installation failed". In FF I find a B407 rollback package from Oreo, but its still not approved yet
same here, does anyone know how to fix it?

Same? Won't booting and just recovery, erecovery or fastboot come up, frp and bootloader locked? Oh, and no luck for flashing any firmware?
I'm affraid, just the B407 rollback package bring back to life, but still not approved yet.

actually it boots, but i have an emui without google apps, and a greyed oem unlocking option, so i can't unlock
i ve same issue, frp and bootloader locked. all firmware stop at 5% no gapps and greyed oem setting (c10b521)
I do not know how to find the "magic" firmware that does not fail...
should you understand based on which criterion is installed the firmware, recovery version? version of the system? I have no idea
For locked FRP, you can relock the bootloader and after that unlock again. It unlocks the FRP again. Just write "relock" instead of "unlock".
And about the "not approved" packages, seems that Hurupdater doesn't care, it just installs.
But for some magic firmware, just download some way older firmware for dload installation. For me that always works on my L09C432, is 360.

Ok. Just one problem occured for Me: I do a bootloader relock, and this ended a not bootable OS, Relocked Bootloader and locked FRP. Just boot to eRecovery.

Just one problem with this: 360 is not a rollback package, so if you want to refresh (back) to this, just show You an "Installation Failed" message, and nothing more. So 360 just works if you want to refresh from a lower Nougat or MarsMallow build, or "rollback" from a higher build Nougat firmware.

You relocked, then unlocked, and it didn't unlock? Strange. I know atleast that the same unlock/relock commands work with nougat and oreo. I've done it a few times.
360 is a full package(FULLOTA-MF-PV) for my model. Other models have different package numbers.
You need to have a full package. Make a folder "dload" on root of an SD-card, with "update.app"-file in it. I have also the "meta-inf" and "full_mainpkg.tag" there, but i don't know if they are really needed. Then just boot the phone with power+volup+voldown and it should install.
No. I relocked the bootloader, but after that and the "automatic" factory reset the phone not boot to the os, just to the erecovery. So i can not change the "OEM unlock" option to unlock again the bootloader.
The install. I'l know the install method, but not work. Any package what 8 want to install ended (after 5%) a "software install failed". Ok. The 360 PV package is a good one, but this package not work, if you want to roll back from a higher master version, like oreo. This package just work if you in nougat, or MM.

Yes, but it s needed flash recovery patched first...
As long as it boots, yes you can repair. You must ask someone with frp UNLOCK to back up partition 'FRP'. Then they send this partition and you flash it (requires root) and now FRP is good in bootloader.

The device starts, but how do I flash the frp partition without root?
