Can't get back to stock! - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi!
I recently unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and a custom rom.
But know I have problems with going back to stock rom.
I can't flash the system.img or cust.img in the bootloader.
I have the Update.app(stock) file but I don't know how to proceed.
FRD-L09 32GB Europe
When I flash system.img i get the error "FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)"

Please help
Have you tried to flash the rollback to Marshmallow package followed by the stock room itself via dload?
Does your TWRP work properly? In case it does, try to flash a custom rom.

I haven't tried yet, but i've tried flash b101, b360 and b389 firmware (which i have before it bricked). TWRP is working I think, but every try to flash rom is failed. I tried to flash lineage rom, but don't know it is a best choice.

Flashable ZIP File

more info about updates?
is it safe, nothing to do with root/bootloader?
EDIT: DO NOT flash this on official Lineage with Lollipop bootloader, you will end up bootlooping on start, unable to get even into recovery after restart, only possible to get into fastboot which is also pretty useless, since your bootloader is locked
any idea how to recover back without going through flashing all the ROM and everything? is it possible to flash just firmware through fastboot?
EDIT 2: wanted to flash at least recovery in case it was overwritten, but I am getting
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

sending 'recovery' (40704 KB)...

Have you unlocked your phone officially?
Because i flash this too and had no problem at all.
?
unofficially, but that never caused problems with previous updates, I guess this firmware us somehow compatible only with Nougat bootloader and locks lollipop bootloader

YES,This is a Nougat Bootloader,you must unlock bootloader in official tools after you install this file in twrp
Put on a BIG ****ing warning about it being incompatible with lollipop bootloader..
And I was like "huh, my phone very smooth today, maybe I'll do a backup and try that new firmware out, shouldn't be a big deal, I've done it before np" — now it's ****ed....
(Yes I unlock the bootloader, but if I go back to marchmellow it's constant restart+bootloop.

Has anyone noticed any improvement with the new radio?
Hello. Has anyone got a link to the latest firmware available for a MI4C. I'm not after the official ROM, just firmware workable with ROMs. I think the last update I done was through andropax link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=155424 is there a way I can also find out which firmware I have installed I forgot.
Is this the latest > https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836288705

[SOLVED] [Bricked] BLN-L24 Can't boot TWRP?

EDIT This was solved thanks to fc3211
I currently have no OS, and I can't boot into TWRP. I can boot into the stock Huawei Recovery, but that doesn't seem to do anything for me, as I can't download an image from the Huawei site. I can't seem to find the stock images for BLN-L24. All the links I saw on this site and Huawei's no longer work. I'm able to download the Honor 6X firmware from this site: http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/phones/honor-6x/ but when I load the file into the sdcard, then follow the instructions and boot with both volume up+volume down pressed, it just hangs there.
Any advice on how I can proceed? What files I can flash? I really am not sure why I get a response saying I am not allowed to boot into a custom recovery. When I 'successfully' flash twrp, it still doesn't actually flash TWRP. My best guess is when I loaded an OS unsuccessfully, it locked FRP somehow and prevented flashing??

Search the forum for "FRP locked" and you will see my posts (I had same issue as you and was able to solve it) and posts from others with similar situation.
Basically you just need to use dload to load the stock firmware for the exact same model and the exact same build that you had before your phone stopped working.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
If you use the files from the wrong build or from the wrong model than you will get error at 5% over and over again.
Try flashing elitetwrp from the Elite ROM thread. I successfully flashed the regular openkirin twrp countless times but would only boot to stock recovery, then on a whim I flashed elitetwrp this morning and I'm able to boot to TWRP now.
Reading on the log that you attached, i see "boot twrp-3.2.1-0-berlin.img". You got that TWRP from official TWRP site? If yes, give a try to OpenKirin's TWRP; it works like a charm. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I tried a bunch of the packages until finally the oldest one worked. I've been bricked for like 4 months, and finally tried to fix it again after I lost my S8 on Christmas =/
Great! And I am proud of you that you had the motivation to try each package one by one. It was because you did not give up, that is why you had victory in the end.

Help please
Sir I have Honor 6x indian varient on emui 5, past 2 months I have officially unlocked bootloader on my phone and flashed twrp successfully but when I restarted my phone into recovery, it just stucked at the bootloader unlocked page.
Then I found some ways to flash the original emui recovery through some Chinese application, but currently there is no recovery in my phone.
But thank to God that it still has its OS.
My doubt is if I again started to deal with my phone in the way you posted, will my phone can be repaired?? As there is no emui recovery that will install the zip by pressing and holding all three buttons(maybe).
Help me sirplzz

Yes. Just use the dload method, it will bing back to full stock with stock recovery. in future as well, dload is the way to go for restoring till EMUI 5. dload method is in my signature.
Custom roms

Do you have the stock update.app file for stock Oreo? Extract it via Huawei extractor and flash recovery via fastboot.

Hello, you can download a "NoCheck" Recovery for Honor 8 (FRD) Oreo here => https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HmFAMYm1pU7RdKkOq_TMdthCxZJflzv9
"NoCheck" means you can install any firmware (without approval of installation).
okay, so i installed FF for android and found the latest update from there and extracted the recovery but every time i try to install i get the following error:
Code:
C:\honor fix>fastboot devices
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx fastboot
C:\honor fix>fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
Sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (43904 KB) OKAY [ 1.605s]
Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition er
ror')
Finished. Total time: 1.679s

any help on a solution?
