Hi. I was trying to install cm13 on my honor 8. I unlocked the bootloader, but while trying to install twrp recovery I think I deleted everything off the phone. The huawei erecovery doesn't work, and I tried sooooo many fastboot commands. I can't do adb commands. I can only get into fastboot mode. Is there anyway for me to get out of this? I tried flashing the system.img and boot.img from fastboot but it fails.

Yes. I installed a roll back update (something like that) by getting into the force update mode. After it finished, I had to then apply the full stock firmware. The problem was that I somehow put the firmware of another phone, because my model number was from a different Huawei phone.

Hi. I got tired of CM13, so I tried to go back to stock. I checked a guide online which told me to flash 2 files using TWRP. after that, I lost twrp and now my bootloader is locked. What do I do? I manually did an update with the update.app file, and it says update success, but when it reboots it stays on the honor 8 screen, I waited for 25 minutes and it's still there.

Try going into stock recovery and doing a factory reset after you use the update.app. You'll have to unlock the bootloader again and flash twrp if you want root.
Restoring to MM using a full image will typically lock the bootloader.
It happened to me too, it is possible you still didn't use the right image.
This is how I recovered mine:
1. Go here to download the latest firmware for your model: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=129406
2. Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract files from the "Update.app". (Ignore the 'profile' drop down list in the app.)
3. Unlock your phone's bootloader.
4. Flash these four images (extracted using the tool from step 2):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
5. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. This is needed to reformat the internal storage (and make it encrypted I think). (Power+Vol Up)
6. Put the Update.app file inside the "dload" folder in your SDcard.
7. Boot into flash mode to let the phone flash the Update.app (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down).

2 things, 1 is that there are 2 recovery files in the UPDATE.APP, and 2 is that I can't do a factory reset from the recovery, because it brings me to the erecovery and it doesn't give me the option to factory reset.

You need to hold VOLUME UP and POWER button with the phone off to get into the recovery to do a factory reset. Once the honor logo pops up, you can release the power and volume up buttons.
Recovery.img = Stock recovery
Recovery2.img = eRecovery

I just did everything exactly the way you said. But it still stays at the honor boot logo. I don't mind waiting over night for it to boot up if I have to, but I've never had a phone take this long to boot up, even on first boot.
For a "brick" thread, it seems odd that the model is never mentioned so that someone can really point you to the right spot. If you keep going to erecovery, then it has to do with whether or not your cable is plugged in (likely you've been keeping it plugged in for your fastboot attempts, or that's a guess). I only go to erecovery with both up/down & power if the cable is plugged in. If I want to get to stock recovery (regardless of what the hell is in the "recovery" partition, TWRP, or who knows?) then I unplug it before trying any key combo from power off to get there.
Lastly, if you use this sort of thing as a template (I'm just going to use one for the frd-l09 as an example, but stick the right model in there for you) ::
Example to plug into Google to find your rollback with instructions:: site:consumer.huawei.com honor 8 frd-l09 rollback
Click to expand...

So if you've got an frd-l04 then plug that in where frd-l09 is. It'll just look on the site consumer.huawei.com just above where the various country/variant breakdowns are, like US/ZH/HU/Etc. are.
Pick the one out that is closest to what it seems you want. All the pages are in the local languages so I'm guessing the .pdf that explains what to do is in the language you'll want as well.
Good luck:: Let us know what model phone you have.
More: Contents of first "intermediate" update.app is 8 image files. I'm sure the 2nd one that is specifically your own phone's version of b162 has a lot more files in it. I've not looked for awhile but I think it's 21 or 22 files. This is a two step process, first is all the crap that comes in update.app from the rollback page (just a 100K file which sets you up in intermediate state for rollback) and 2nd you find your exactly right b162 for your model phone, and pretty much repeat the process.
Yet More: One odd thing about the Honor 8: I've not seen it on other phones is the partition layout is not really "trustworthy" unless you really have gotten to understand it. There appears to be at least 3 or 4 places you can get to that I used to think would all have to be in the recovery partition, but apparently the Honor 8 works differently, so no matter how bleak your odds seem, .. maybe not. I got to both erecovery and stock recovery and rollback while TWRP was installed and it worked just following the directions from their website.
Agreed on this thing.

Thank you very much, you saved me and my phone !!!
I made a mistake: my phone was under android m and I flashed by mistake the rollback update (to go m from n), then my honor was bricked on bootloop, no recovery, no update by dload....nothing worked....
Your solution was the right one !! again thank you very much
Interesting observation with the eRecovery (recovery2 partition). So I have TWRP installed, the system partition modified and user storage not encrypted. I was still able to to use eRecovery to connect to WiFi and download the factory image and it automatically repaired the phone to factory state. I noticed it doesn't re-lock the bootloader afterward. This seems to be the easiest method to unbrick.
Getting into eRecovery.
hi! Or extract the files? sorry for my english

Ok after the factory reset (which is peppered with mounting errors)...
failed to mount /data (invalid arguments)
unable to mount storage
When I try to flash cust.img and system.img they both fail.
I cannot check what firmware I was on before I started all this, but I believe it was the latest one. This is a FRD-04. I flashed TWRP 3.1.0.1 erecovery and I can access it and fastboot.
I have tried various different things and nothing I do can unbrick the phone. Any help would be appreciated.

have the same problem as you on my FRD-09.
I don't have this phone anymore, but the easiest way I find to restore it is using eRecovery.
So I had an unlocked H8 with LOS. As I wanted to install EMUI, I put the proper restore Update.app into the dload folder and started Huawei's recovery. Everything went well, I formated data and wanted to install the EMUI 4.1 ROM using the same method.
Unfortunately my H8 is bootlooping and there is now way into erecovery nor any other recovery. It simply reboots on every single known vol up or down key pressing combination. The only thing I can go to is fastboot mode when holding down vol down and plugging in usb wire. But, it says frd locked and I can't install nor boot twrp. It's simply gone and reboots all the time.
Any hints? I can't even turn it off.
I wanted to give away that phone that's the reason. Last time I did it this way, I could flash the EMUI 4.1 since it's signed. But not this time.
Interesting part is, that although fastboot says frd locked, I still get the "phone unlocked" warning on every reboot. dload method isn't working, as it simply keeps rebooting.
It's my hardest brick so far I ever encountered
the same thing happened to me.....on my phone lock/unlocked frp and bootloader were tweaked for some reason(I mean that what was written wasn't the reality) so how did I fix it? I kept on to flash rollback package many times and I tried to unlock/relock bootloader again, at the end the phone let me to flash the firmware, I didn't know how but the phone allowed me to flash things throw recovery(using dload method). At the begin I only could access to erecovery and fastboot. I suppose that I broke system and data partition and while I looked/unlocked the bootloader, the wipe fixed the partition table. Sorry I'm tired and I know that my English sucks, I hope you understand what I have written.
How did you enter erecovery as this isn't working for me.... What did you flash over fastboot?
Have you tried flashing the firmware separately using adb on computer?
For this you just need to extract the Update.app using the firmware extractor for huawei. Then flash them individually using adb commands in cmd.
I can't access any state that would allow to do adb.

sorry. I'll try to explain better, however on Huawei/honor devices there are not one but two recoveries, so one is the normal recovery flashed in recovery partition, the second one is the Huawei recovery that is flashed in recovery2 partition, so if you didn't touch recovery2 partition, your erecovery is still there, now, if you press VOL+ VOL- and POWER it will reboot to recovery2 and it starts to flash something from dload in your sd card, so in my opinion you should do this things, first try this method to flash rollback package(this is the transition package from 7 to 6 and you will find it on honor site) if this is still not working try locking and unlocking again your bootloader(I hope this fix partitions of your device) then try to enter recovery and do a wipe and then boot your device, if this doesn't work flash rollback package(now it would work) and then flash an emui 4 full firmware image, always using dload method. trust me... I did the same... and it worked for me. let me know if it works for you :good:

I ran into this issue not that long ago. What you have to do is relock your bootloader using ADB. The ADB commands and instructions can be found in this thread.
Just a FYI, do not use the links to the software listed in that thread as it is a little outdated. The method still works but the software will probably not work. Just be sure to get the most recent/appropriate version of SuperSU and TWRP via their official threads (This is if you want to re-root). There are Honor 8 specific TWRP files if I remember correctly, so be sure to check around the Honor 8 forums for the correct files.
A quick summary of what I did:
1) Power your phone off and then boot into fastboot by holding Vol down + Power; as soon as it boots up, plug your phone into your combuter via your usb cord.
2) With ADB running, type:
Code:
fastboot oem relock [COLOR="LightBlue"]################[/COLOR]
NOTE: The '#' should be replaced with your unique unlock code that you obtained to unlock your bootloader.
3) Wait for it to format and reset your phone and go through the setup. BE SURE TO BYPASS all google registration; skip everything you can to get into the phone itself. If you do register, it will reactivate FRP and you'll have to start over again.
4) Turn on USB Debugging and every other setting that enables developer administrative navigation and control just to be safe. USB Debugging being the most important one, though.
5) Restart your phone and boot into fastboot again using Vol down + Power.
6) Unlock your phone again with:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock [COLOR="LightBlue"]################[/COLOR]
7) Once the command is entered, it'll reset your phone once more and - as stated before - bypass/skip all google (FRP) registration.
8) Enable developer options and USB debugging again and make sure that OEM Unlocked is checked and grayed out.
9) Reboot into fastboot mode to confirm that FRP is disabled and you should be able to install TWRP now via ADB.
@Numerics thanks. The thing is, that I can't boot anything. I can't even go into eRecovery. Nor can I flash a stock EMUI 4.1. It just boot loops all the time and I can only access fastboot.
If you can flash twrp..........Install los or other Rom ..................Go back to stock.......you must flash b360 ober adb...... because los is 7.1...............if you on b360 you can usw the rollback for emui 4.1........,..............sry for bad english
I can easily go to fastboot. But I can't flash anything. I extracted the img from the update.app but can't flash. It simply says that it's not permitted.

With my method, you don't need to flash anything. Just relock your bootloader via adb in fastboot mode and let it reset. Unless I'm not understanding your issue entirely.
@Numerics as I said, in won't boot anything as it is constantly boot looping. There is no way to access any kind of recovery nor erecovery. There is no boot into Android. The only thing accessible right now is fast boot (which is not ADB). But even in fast boot I can't do anything als operations are not permitted.
after boot looping and starting fast boot mode, I can see a "Android reboot reason" section saying:
AP_S_PANIC
data is invalid
There is still a lineageos installed on system as firmware but as I tried to get rid of it by going back to stock EMUI, I guess Huawei's rollback did something wrong and killed recovery (although I did it in the past successfully).
I tried to run HiSuite to recover my phone, but it just says, that my phone is not supported.
Speaking of this, Huawei messed up with that whole fastboot locking bull****.

No, I know ADB isn't Fastboot. What I'm trying to say is that you should be able to still run ADB via CMD on Windows when you're in fastboot mode to relock your bootloader with the directions I gave in my previous post. It'll force-restore your phone to a non-bricked/vanilla state. At least that is how I fixed mine.
Like... You can't even try using the 'fastboot oem relock ################' function via the ADB console while in fastboot?
yes boy trust us, you haven't a working OS so it is a normal thing that your phone reboot, you cannot access to recovery because some partitions are corrupted (data partition) , so these are the steps that could help you:
1) using fastboot, relock your boot loader
2)using fastboot, unlock your boot loader (partition table would be ok now, and you would be able to use load method to flash things trow stock recovery)
4)put inside your sd card \dload\update.app(use rollback package)
3) press all the buttons while your device is rebooting(do this before the blue screen logo appear), your phone is now looking for something inside your sd card
5) if the next step doesn't work do a factory reset from recovery that now would be working
6) put inside your sd card a full android 6 (emus 4) update.app and pressing all buttons it will install the firmware
7) your device now is locked and back to stock, maybe without cust partition or maybe in test mode but it is certainly alive
8) do a factory reset and reinstall the firmware
9) your phone is now ok
You don't lock the bootloader via ADB but via fastboot.
As I said, northing was restored and nothing is booting and I can't unlock my bootloader again. As I said, recovery is not working so the file in dload is not loaded and used. Which is strange.
Locking bootloader didn't do anything besides locking the bootloader. Device is still dead and I still can only access fastboot.

This is not the truth.....locking bootloader will erase all your data and fix partitions....and with fixed partition you can access to recovery ......trust me the only thing that you can do is to lock your bootloader......you can't flash anything from fastboot and boot recovery or system now...... lock your bootloader and then unlock it again, try using "fastboot OEM lock *****" or "fastboot OEM relock *******" (try cmd runned as admin, people say that this makes the difference) then unlock your device again and .....magic your recovery will boot......the same thing happened to me and I fixed my phone using this trick, however, even if you had frp unlocked it would say you that isn't possible to write anything because you broke some partition, and that's the reason why you can't boot recovery, wait one second and think: why doesn't my recovery boot?
It has nothing to do with trust. I did it and device is still a full stone brick. Nothing changed by locking the bootloader besides that now I can't unlock the bootloader anymore.

your problem is easy to solve. do u have stock emui8 rom that you have flashed then extract update.app then download hauwei update extractor and load this update app. if it fails to load then untick something like md5 check in options then it will load. now extract these images from list
RAMDISK.img, RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img, and KERNEL.img.
now keep then in fastboot folder connect you phone to pc by holding vol - you will enter into fastboot then flash these images in order
fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
fastboot flash kernel KERNAL.img
then reboot your device will boot fine if it enter into recovery and asks to formate data don't do it just do reboot.

Test to flash nougat rom with HurUpdater 0.3
Hi,
When tried to change region bricked my phone, please help me.
Normal boot - phone asks me to enter password to decrypt storage, however it wasn't encrypted.
ATM i have: Honor 8 with TWRP recovery(cannot mount or wipe /data(Invalid argument, tried different filesystems)), dload does not work(just stuck at Honor bootscreen), adb do not see phone.
Tried to install update.zip via TWRP, gives error.
Any ideas?
I was also at this point of ****ness. Try turn off phone, stick vol down and connect usb to pc (it will boot to bootloader), do unlock bootloader. After that boot to twrp, format data, flash l09-c10 oem .img file, than 398 russian firmware via hurupdater and reboot to system. It helped me.
Bootloader already unlocked. Where i can find .img file? Do i need to unpack firmware? Cause i have update.zip, inside is update.app file.

Try reboot recovery after formating data, then flash fw.
Thanks you, unbricked!

NP. In same way you can do upgrade to russian oreo.)
Ok, so I had oreo in my 6x indian variant, and wanted to flash elemental OS V8. But for some reason the TWRP was not able to access the data partition. And when I read somewhere in XDA (in other device's forum) that changing the file system from f2fs to ext4 can help and did so and it worked. I could access my internal storage and everything on TWRP. But I didn't change the file system back to f2fs and sideloaded the elemental 8. It worked find and I installed it. When rebooting it got into bootloop. After that I tried to get into the TWRP but didn't work. I flashed the TWRP again which said flashed OK, but when I tried to enter it took me to the stock recovery. When I tried the dload method with the nougat B360 version, it gave me blank screen with red led blinking and nothing working after that. I tried dload with the oreo file which gave me back the stock recovery and erecovery, but again flashing TWRP didn't work. After dload, it reboots to erecovery and asks me to wipe data partition since it is severely corrupt but says factory reset failed. In some cases it does go factory reset but doesn't boot into OS. Since I do not have access to TWRP I am not able to bring it back. I had got into this situations before but the dload always worked. Maybe now it isn't because I am on Oreo and the partitions are different from Nougat? I also tried formatting/erasing partitions from fastboot but gives me error/ remote command not allowed. I also tried Multi-Tool8 and used the unbrick option. but doesn't work it gives me all flashed, and when i flash the oreo files gives me all flashed Error#1, Complete, Something went wrong and bootloops again or gives me blank screens.
I have attached a screenshot of my device info. If anyone could help me breath life into it.

What command you use to flash TWRP? And what image are you trying to flash? Try this. In Fastboot flash RECOVERY-V2.img (Elemental ROM TWRP) via command.
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img
After it's flashed, press and Hold Power and Volume Up till you see Honor logo then let go. It Should boot to TWRP. If not then extract the Uodate.zip (the large one) and you will get Update.app and using Huawei Update Extractor extract System.img, Ramdisk.img and Recovery_ramdisk.img then boot phone to fastboot and flash them manually as
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk Recovery_ramdis.img
And,
fastboot flash system system.img
This should work. It's a boot error.
I was in same mode in fastboot when i updated to Oreo and it was b340 which saved me from this via dload. You give it a try.
You may not be able to flash twrp now as your BL me be locked after dload.

I did try that but from the unbrick option from Multi-Tool. And also there are two recovery images in the UPDATE.APP and I don't know which one to flash. When I tried from the Multi-Tool, it says you're trying to flash the wrong image. Also I think the boot partition in oreo is ramdisk? I am not sure... because there is no boot image in the unbrick option. Although I didn't try flashing them individually. I will try it and let you know. Thanks.

I actually relocked and unlocked the bootloader again, just to be sure. But will try the B340 one, didn't try that. Thanks for the links will check them out

Yes, boot is ramdisk in oreo and recovery is ramdisk_recovery.

So the B340 dload didn't work for me. Gives the same results. Always boots into erecovery and then fails to factory reset. Also the phone doesn't get switched on or boot into recovery without connecting to the USB. Only when it is connected it works, that too after 5-10 mins after I press the Power button or the Recovery key combination. And I used a 4GB memory card, could this be the reason the dload didn't work?

You may need 8 GB SD card if you have or can borrow and see if that helps. Whats the size of update.app file?

Something around 3.3 GB. There's only some 250mb left in the card when I copy the update.app

May be you can try with 8 gb once if it is easily available for you
Hi, so none of the methods work. But I could get back to TWRP for Elemental Rom. Still flashing roms from TWRP doesn't boot me in. And now the dload screen doesn't appear when I press the combination. All I have is fastboot mode, erecovery and TWRP installed. But none of the methods work. I am not able to figure what I am doing wrong!!
Try hurupdater.
http://https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
0.3 for nougat or 0.4 for oreo (in my case works)
And remember format data in first time
You need the firmware for your 6x...
Good luck!
hey i am in the same situation as yours, all i am able to boot into is fastboot, nothing beyond that is working, i have the extracted update.app for oreo , the last system i flashed was emui oreo , and nothing else is working i have tried all the options suggested.
could someone guide me on the actual steps needed to flash the .img files as i'm unable to boot into recovery of twrp or openkirin
any help will be appreciated.
