Honor 6x BLN22 Semi Bricked! Help!

Hi! This is my first post and going to be a long one! But kindly excuse me! I need HELP!
I have Semi bricked my Honor 6x firmware (bln-l22, android 6.0, emui 4.1, c675b132, india channel) while trying to manually update it to Nougat which I downloaded from "stechguide.com/honor-6x- b360-nougat-update". I downloaded the Asian version. I accidentally extracted and flashed update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip instead of the update.zip first. The update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip file got to 100% installed and then went to Huawei eRecovery. Then I couldn't flash the update.zip. I get a software install failed. Also tried to manually flash to stock Rom and other newer update versions of Nougat on SD card again but I get software install failed or Incompatible for this phone. I tried to factory hard reset but this also fails. I can wipe only the cache and reboot which goes again to eRecovery. The eRecovery on wifi does not work either. I looked up booting to safe mode but nothing happens.
After reading a lot on this forum, I tried minimal adb and fastboot. My device in fastboot & rescue mode shows up on minimal adb and fastboot when I type "fastboot devices" command (but adb devices gives no devices/emulator found). It also shows up as Android Phone (Android sooner Single ADB Interface) in Device manager on PC and android drivers is upto date. The Huawei suite loads up but can't connect to it (can't enable hdb).
My phone is boot locked, FRP locked, not rooted (and impossible to enable usb debug) so I can't flash any commands like recovery.img, system.img or twrp and cwm recovery. I always get the remote command not allowed.
Right now, On starting my device, Honor logo shows up, vibrates and goes dark twice then to eRecovery.
All the other combination functions of Power, Vol - and Vol + works.
Please help me restore my Honor 6x to stock or update to Nougat! Thanks a ton!

extract update.zip. Get the UPDATE.APP.
create a "dload" directory to your sdcard. copy UPDATE.APP in this folder
shutdown phone / unplug phone.
hold on VOL + + VOL - + POWER
UPDATE.APP will install. Then shutdown phone. remove UPDATE.APP from dload directory. Extract UPDATE.APP from second zip (smallest one: update_data_full_BLN-L22_hw_spcseas.zip)
copy this new UPDATE.APP into dload folder on sdcard.
Shutdown phone / unplug
hold on VOL + + VOL - + POWER
When install complete, try to boot, if not boot, recovery into recovery and wipe cache / data

Heya! Thanks for the reply.
Can you be more specific about Which ROM to use? The stock ROM or the Newer Nougat Firmware for my phone model?
I have tried the following:
Honor 6X B132 Stock ROM and Honor 6X B320, 330, 360. Yet to try B320, 340 & 342 Firmwares.
I don't remember which one says incompatible, wrong update package or software update failed after 6% installation but bottom line is they all fail to install. I can't do a Hard reset and only wipe cache. I do wipe cache before flashing with SD card dload method but still unsuccesful.:fingers-crossed:

I am not sure! Some people have updated successfully while others are not so lucky and some like me, have messed up!
Unless you are unhappy with your phone performance, I'd recommend not to rollback provided our rollback package is even available to perform that!

Can you kindly send me the firmware download links?
Edit:
I dug deeper into this B360 nougat update and I now know for sure I've tried to flash a wrong update for my Phone wrongly.
The B360 for – [Asian variant] Honor 6X is BLN-L22C636Bxxx which is different from the Indian build – [Indian variant] Honor 6X BLN-L22C675Bxxx.
Am I missing something here?

Help.

I am stuck on with eRecovery and fastboot&recovery mode. I have tried flashing cache,recovery, recovery2, system and boot .img files using adb but I get a FAILED (remote: command not allowed). My bootloader is unlocked as I have checked using adb. On fastboot it says PHONE Unlocked and FRP Lock. Any ideas?

as long as your FRP is locked you can not flash anything.
Only way is to use dload method to restore your phone. let me know the model number and build number you were on and I can help with download links.

I can't install using the dload method as I have only eRecovery and fastboot&recovery mode on the device. The last firmware I was on was the BLN-L21C432B365 firmware.

Recovery has nothing to do. I was stuck with no mode other than erecovery. I used dload amd retain my device.

How can I use dload method then? Pressing the volume up and the power key enters into eRecovery, pressing volume down and the power key enters fastboot&recovery mode. If I try to press the volume up, down and the power key a tthe same time it enters eRecovery.

It should be all three keys together with volume up+volume down pressed first and then power key (together)
Keep it that way and once you feel vibration and then honor logo and flashing will start.
Yours is booting to erecovery because of volume up for more than 3 seconds.
Keep trying your luck brother

It's going to eRecovery with all three buttons pressed (which they all are) because no recovery at all is installed. If twrp was installed and I pressed all three buttons and then let go on the honor logo it would boot to that which is the same method for stock recovery. Without that I can't install using the dload method.

It cost me 15 euros. I used DC Phoenix software to flash the BLN-L21C432B360 update.app with my phone in fastboot mode and connected to my computer. Once it finishes this you boot to updgrade mode whilst still connected to the computer which you do by pressing the volume up, down and power buttons. Once in this mode change the options in the DC Phoenix software to upgrade mode and select the update.app again and click the update button on the DC Phoenix software. It wouldn't work for any of the firmwares except the BLN-L21C432B360 FullOTA-MF-PV firmware. All the others didn't have FullOTA-MF-PV next to them just FullOTA-MF. I'm now on the BLN-L21C432B367 firmware which came up ota once I updated to BLN-L21C432B365 from the BLN-L21C432B360 firmware.

It's not your fault mate. I needed the stock recovery to be installed and I could not flash it with the FRP Lock on. DC Phoenix software allowed me to flash the update.app using fastboot & recovery mode as it bypasses security which cost me 15 euros.

Honor 6x Bricked Question - Help would be appreciated!

I unlocked my phone which was on emui 4.1 BLN24 then flashed twrp which always kept getting going back to the stock recovery.
I tried updating the phone to emui 5 but it would not install with the unlocked boot loader. So i relocked it. Now the phone is stuck at "Your device is booting now... and it wont boot into recovery, fastboot mode or respond to the vol+ vol- pwr key combo to reflash the stock firmware. Also the phone wont power off it just reboots to the device booting screen each time i try to power off.
Has anyone on here experienced this situation, do you know if there is any fix for this, or someone who does hardware reflashing?
Any help would be appreciated

How can you re-unlocked bootloader?

For fast boot if phone loop to power on:
Press and hold Power button, when the screen power off quickly press Vol.- and connect USB port (cable must be connected to pc...). Phone boot in fastboot mode!!!
Now unlock bootloader with code and restore phone!!!
To install update bootloader can remain unlocked...

When you unlock/relock the bootloader, the phone will always try to format /data partition. It is a security policy on most android devices (I think all actual devices lol). Since your device has TWRP (as you said), formatting will always fail.
Try booting into recovery with the right key combination, then format /data.
If that doesn't work, you should flash the FULL firmware through eRecovery. Is quite easy, and there are a lot of tutorials on how to do the trick.
When using eRecovery, I suggest you to flash the FULL package for EMUI 5, because if you flash a lower version you may corrupt the bootloader (and nobody wants that; it happened to me when downgraded my Moto G few years ago).
Cheers, and good luck
OFFTOPIC NOTE: as someone said before, you don't need to unlock your bootloader for updating the phone. Firmware Finder app is really helpful if you want to get an update that is not officially published by Huawei.

Thanks for your reply,
However i must note that: neither recovery or the fastboot menu boots, ive tried all the key combinations! The phone normally stays at the boot screen and only responds to holding the power button down, which makes it reboot only. (wont power off) it stays on till battery is out. After recharging im able to get to the "enter password to decrypt screen" but after one reboot it continues in the same cycle as mentioned previously.
I think this may be related to a corrupted bootloader like you mentioned. Did you have a similar experiences and what was done to overcome it?
Thanks for your help

Well, if the bootloader is corrupted, that screen wouldn't power on at all (I guess, never saw a device showing the boot screen while hard broken).

Have you tried booting the device while connected to a computer through MicroUSB cable? There are several combinations with the cable too (HERE are few combinations; focus on fastboot/eRecovery ones)

That's nice. I think you only need to reflash the full firmware. Try booting eRecovery. Hold vol+ key and connect the USB cable, keep holding the button the whole time until it boots to eRecovery.
Yay, I've already said that before. I think your device will be fine. "Your device is booting now..." message tells me that bootloader is fine, but there is something wrong with the other partitions, and it can be fixed with eRecovery.

Fixed
Panchoso,
Thanks for your help; So i discharged the phone completely and(patiently) waited for it to boot, when it booted again i was able to quickly get it into fastboot mode by using the VOL- + PWR keys and was able to reflash it completely . Thank you again, help very much appreciate!!!. Phone is now back alive and looking for the best rom to flash it with, any suggestions?
