Help please mate 9 bricked after successful Oreo update - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I have the mha-l29 and successfully updated to the latest Oreo for the US version. I then unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, flash Superuser and everything was working fine. I then got an error message while doing a backup in TWRP and foolishly edited a file which caused the system to not boot. I then Flashed the hwoa7 instead of 8 to fix it and now my phone is bricked. The only thing I can do is get into fastboot. Everything else throws an error. Is ee a func no: 11 error. Please see attached pictures. Please let me know how I can fix it. I've already tried reflashing the ramdisk as well as TWRP bet I can't boot into TWRP.
Thanks so much
C:\>fastboot oem lock-state info
(bootloader) FB LockState: LOCKED
(bootloader) USER LockState: UNLOCKED
OKAY [ 0.008s]
finished. total time: 0.012s

Do you mean you flashed RECOVERY_nocheck from Nougat to Recovery of Oreo?
If so you should only need to flash recovery_ramdisk.
I guess you could extract ramdisk, recovery_ramdisk and kernel and flash to the partitions of the same name.
See what error it gives after you flash back stock recovery_ramdisk

Thank you for your help ante. I ended up fixing it by using DC unlocker. That Basically got me to where I could boot into erecovery. It also allowed me to use ADB to flash TWRP. From there I just flashed the entire hwota8 package. I'm back up and running thankfully. Once again, I really appreciate you and people like you who help others on this forum.

saw this to late , TWRP caused this i had the same thing earlier and reinstalled different TWRP

DC-Unlockr allowed you to use adb to flash twrp? How were you able to do that exactly?

I was able to flash the entire update package using DC Unlocker. That should have gotten me up fully but it did not. Before using DC unlocker, I was not able to even boot into TW RP or erecovery. I was able to get into fastboot but could not install anything. I did not get any errors in ADB and installations were successful but I could not boot into TWRP. After using DC Unlocker, I went back into fastboot and used ADP to install TW RP. I was then able to boot into TW RP. So the difference that DC unlocker made was that it allowed me to use ADB to successfully install TWRP.

I had the very same issue previously with another device. It was running an old version of TWRP. Regardless of what I flashed, it would give errors, etc.
However, using ADB, I flashed the very latest recovery and voila! Flashed a rom successfully as well as other apps without any issues.
It's always best to use the latest possible recovery to avoid issues with flashing.
Glad you solved your problem

Were you running Android Nougat or Oreo? I've just used the TWRP's found here on the xda forums. However, I didn't use TWRP nor dc-unlockr to fix my issue. Have you tried the hardware button combo of volume up And power to boot into it?

Oreo. I tried using the twrps available, but i cant seem to boot into twrp. It goes directly to error mode. Im using the power + vol up btw.

i want to Downgrade to version 41.18 or 41.19
anyone know ..??
please share it
thank you

My bootloader v 41.1A I downgrade 41.18 Help
Why do you need to downgrade? Messing with Bootloaders can destroy your phone.

Bootloader cannot be downgraded. You're stuck on w/e version you have currently installed.
Okay so I'm stuck on 41.1A and my phone will continue to restart itself and then stuck in bootloop till the battery dies... and then when I connect it to the charger boot's up normally...
@lost101
Can you please let me know how to check bootloader version?
I am using Moto G XT1033 model(Asia).
It was updated to Lollipop 5.0.2 by Motorola Stock Lollipop update.
Later on I had unlocked bootloader and downgraded it to Kitkat 4.4.4 using this thread.
I don't have any clue about current version of bootloader in my Moto G.
I want to try Lollipop 5.1 Optimized stock rom link here, so just wanted to ensure compatibility of bootloader so that my phone works after flashing it.

Enter bootloader (hold volume-down while turning it on), read text on screen (second line).
I too want to know if there is a way to downgrade or at least reflash my damaged bootloader which is causing weird behaviour.

I have the exact same problem.
Stuck on 41.1A
Was on a slim6 rom before. Tried to return to STOCK_ASIA_RETAIL. All fastboot commands successfully executed but no apparent change. I have the exact same wallpaper, the same layers RRO navbars, everything. I would not need to go to STOCK but since the slim installation is unstable and everything force closes, the phone is unusable.
Additional note: Somehow even TWRP is stuck in the splash screen, so cant flash any other ROM. Even tried to access TWRP using adb, but the TWRP service fails to start.
I fastboot flashed phillz recovery, stock recovery & newer TWRP versions, but nothing happens. Phone still stuck in TWRP screen.
To my surprise I was able to pull my personal files from the internal SD using ADB (which still works btw).
But I'm left with a phone in a zombie unusable condition, it just doesn't react to anything.
Any help from the XDA community would be greatly appreciated. I am still keeping my fingers crossed, so that one day a guide comes up to brick my device (STOCK 5.1 bootloader) and unbrick it using some sort of unbrick tool.

Creating such a zip is possible, but flashing it may either not work or hard brick your phone.
How to install working recovery on 41.1A bootloader
I had the situation on my Moto G XT1039 where I had formatted the partitions on my phone (using my old CWM recovery), then flashed the 41.1A bootloader, but 41.1A would not allow me to flash any recovery.
So I had a working bootloader, but no recovery and no OS. And apparently no way to install a recovery, to install an OS...
I got the phone back like this:
- Flashed 4.4.4 stock manually using the bootloader (if you do this, DO NOT flash the 4.4.4 motoboot.img, according to everything on here that will permanently brick your phone; I am not sure about partition gpt.bin - I flashed this, but I was already on the 4.4.4 partition layout anyway). Do flash boot.img, that is the OS boot.
- So now I had a bootable phone OS (back on 4.4.4 again, with a flickering screen), but still no recovery.
- From the bootloader, I booted into an old recovery which I knew had previously worked with my phone:
Code:
fastboot boot clockworkmodrecovery.6051.peregrine.img
(this boots into a temporary copy of the recovery, without actually installing it on the recovery partition).
- Using that, I installed the SuperSU binary.
- Then I booted back into my 4.4.4 OS, installed the SuperSU app, checked it was working, then installed the TWRP Manager app (which requires root, hence the previous steps), then used that to successfully install the TWRP recovery on my phone.
From there I now had the correct recovery in place to flash the 5.1 Optimized distro (which I would definitely recommend - clean, stable, excellent battery life!).
Yay!

I hope I haven't misunderstood, but isn't the whole point of this thread that the 41.1A bootloader won't let some poeple (including me) successfully flash anything to the recovery partition? You can run the command, but the recovery won't boot up. At least that's how it was for me.

I see. So "fastboot boot" worked, but "fastboot flash" wouldn't write anything? In that case you could probably also have used fastboot boot with TWRP and then use TWRP's "install image" feature to flash it.

Thanks! I definitely tried that first! Maybe this bit I didn't make clear in my post, but actually:
- fastboot boot was only working for me with older recovery ROMS, i.e. the older CWM recovery which I mentioned, which I had lying around from when I first rooted my phone on 4.4.4, and also - not that it's much use - with the recovery in the 4.4.4 image, which just brings up the dead Android logo
- fastboot flash recovery was not working at all, not even with the recovery roms which would boot with fastboot boot
- but fastboot flash to all the other partitions seemed to work fine (I could see that it seemed to be working because I was able to flash different logo.bin files to change the phone logo which shows before the phone tries to boot into recovery or OS) and as per my post this was how I was able to get my phone back eventually
This thread was the only place I could find which seems to represent people having the same set of problems, so I thought the above workaround might be useful in future to someone in the same situation.

So far nobody has posted a terminal transcript of "not working". Did it appear to succeed or did you get an error message?

That doesn't make any sense. Not that I don't believe you, I just can't explain how fastboot could fail writing recovery but succeed in writing a different partition.

It appears to succeed, except that it gives the 'mismatched partition size error' on the bootloader screen at the end of flashing. (Although other posts seem to state that this is normal for a non-strock recovery?)

Yes, I've got that one too, but my flashed recovery then worked fine. However I upgraded my bootloader by installing the complete 5.1 stock ROM, maybe your bootloader update was somehow incomplete.

Trying to root Verizon Pixel and stuck in bootloop??

What's up everyone. So I unlocked the bootloader of my Verizon pixel OK. I then went to root it and after it rebooted once it seems to be stuck at the jumping dots screen. It's been like 5 minutes. Not sure what I should do.
Any suggestions?
From bootloader:
Using stock boot.img from your version's factory image from Google. (In a zip inside the main zip).
Fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Fastboot reboot
Then after setting up your phone try rooting again. You have to boot once stock after unlocking bootloader initially.
If still no dice, use flash-all.bat or .sh to go fully stock, then boot and set device up then reboot to root as per normal directions for your firmware.
Rooting won't cause a second wipe. Just unlocking or flashing factory image.
Do NOT relock bootloader (potential brick).

Got it!! Holy Crap brother thank you!!!
Just so I don't do that again, which root files should I be using? I read it may have been caused from using outdated files
Which method did you use to gain root? Fastboot boot boot-to-root.img caused me to bootloop. I restored the factory image, installed TWRP alpha2, then flashed SuperSU 2.78 SR5 from TWRP and all was fine.
yeah i tried the boot boot method. I guess I should try the twrp method. Just so I don't screw up again, do you remember where you got the files. Figure I'll use those if they worked for you.

Thanks! OK so i downloaded the twrp file I'm getting a failed error message. I've renamed the file twrp.img and am using this commmand to flash it fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
What am I doing wrong?
RC1 or Alpha2? RC1 kept giving me md5 mismatch errors. On the TWRP download page both Alpha2 files are also available.
I'm trying to flash alpha 2 and it keeps saying Failed remote partition recovery doesnt exist
Haven't seen that one before. When I tried the boot-to-root method I had to restore a factory image before I could try again.

Yeah I'm totally stumped. I did have to reflash the boot image and am back up and running. just can't seem to get twrp to flash!! I've followed the steps from multiple threads and just can't get it to work.
Any suggestions are welcome
Boot twrp Img, not flash. Then install the twrp zip if you want it to replace the stock recovery.
Which guide says flash..theres a new rc1 out but haven't checked it. You made 2 posts regarding inability to flash but did you Google for the answer?
I kept trying to flash it cause the threads and sites I saw kept using that command. I finally used fastboot boot twrp.img and it worked fine. Also many of the guides don't say you need to have the zip on your phone to flash.
No prob, I worked it out!! Thanks for everyone's responses!!!

unable to flash twrp

I am using op6 with oxygenos 5.1.11 (for unrelated reasons I cannot use android pie yet, so I had to downgrade to android 8.1 until a certain bug is fixed in 9).
I am trying to flash twrp, with no avail: when I use "fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>", I get "FAILED (remote: '(recovery_a) No such partition')", and when I try using "fastboot boot <twrp.img>", the phone boots into an unresponsive state with a black screen and a white notification led.
what am I doing wrong? I've tried both twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_op6.img and the official twrp-3.2.3-1-enchilada.img in place of <twrp.img>, no difference.
Is your bootloader unlocked? (fastboot oem unlock)

of course it is!
First of all you can't flash recovery in fastboot on OP6. You need to boot the image and flash the recovery.zip after that you will have recovery permanently.
BTW why don't you search and have a look at the guide?
This time I do it for you. If you exactly follow these steps you will get recovery working.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643
Follow this video. Remember to use the twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img and twrp-installer-enchilada-3.2.1-0.zip, not the newer files.

Like the others said above, it sounds like you are trying to flash the version of TWRP for Pie onto an Oreo install, you need to get the last stable version of TWRP for Oreo, which I believe is 3.2.1. You'll need both the '.img' and '.zip' files. Good luck!

if you read my original post, I have tried to boot to recovery already, which didn't work. what I was not aware of is that the recovery image is android version-dependent. an old twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v8.83_op6.img did the job.

Can't flash twrp

Hey. Following issue: I used to have my phone rooted and wanted to update it. Since I couldn't get a zip file from the official OnePlus webpage I used the download button from the system update and got it from there. Of course it also automatically removes your root so I had to try to flash twrp again. My bootloader is still unlocked (debugging and oem both activated) so that wasn't any issue. I got the newest enchilada and tried the flash boot command with the twrp enchilada image, however after a short message including hoot and and an ok at the end my phone goes into the fastboot icon and is stuck there until I restart it. Twrp doesn't start whatsoever. I also tried the fastboot --set-active= command but that didn't help as well. Adb is also on the newest version and I also got the newest enchilada. Any ideas?
P.S: already searched a lot on the forum but none of the aforementioned solutions did anything thanks for any help regardlessly

Need help for soft brick (eRecovery not working)

What I have done
I unlocked the bootloader of my Honor 6x using the testpoint method
I installed TWRP and Magisk
I decided that I was not satisfied with the stock OS and wanted to install a custom ROM
I forgot to make a backup using TWRP before flashing
I tried to flash LineageOS but it did not work and caused a bootloop (the boot animation shows for about 5 minutes and then reboots)
Using Huawei eRecovery to restore the device was not possible, and it returns the message of "Getting package info failed".
This is likely due to the website "http://update.hicloud.com/" being down
Cannot download any stock ROMs as the downloads I found are all from "http://update.hicloud.com/"
This is the only thread I found about the website being down: link
After some digging I found an old ROM (EMUI 4) that I can use, and flashed it using TWRP
The system booted up just fine after that, but the system looked really old and I wanted to update it
I found an update file and tried to install it using the dload method, which installed through the Huawei recovery just fine.
The phone rebooted and now bootloops to the Huawei eRecovery everytime.
I thought of flashing TWRP again so that maybe I can flash the old rom again, but it does not work and returns the following errors.
command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
Questions
What can I do in this situation with only have access to fastboot commands and the Huawei eRecovery?
Should I just wait for the update website to come back up so that the eRecovery will work and I can install the latest OS from there? Will that ever happen?
hey i can help ! which version of twrp are you trying to flash ?

The update website isn't going to come back anytime soon. But if you just don't mind opening your device again(you need to access the test point), there's a fix. this method doesn't just need anything. even if your device is hard bricked, it can get you back running. This was described in a youtube video with working links based on a forum on xda.

I got a similar problem recently but I flashed update.zip of emui 8 - > Bootlooped - > factory reset with twrp - > successfully booted but doesn't get past the setup screen. Fix : flashed a gsi treble image(based on android 10) - > working perfect except for camera and volte.

My bootloader is still unlocked, yes. However, I did not try to flash another recovery image, as I was not sure where I could find one that worked. I forgot which image I used at first but it had worked the first time, so that was why I did not bother finding a different recovery. Do you have a suggestion for a recovery to install?

I'm attaching one that works with emui 8 try using it (Remember you have to flash it to recovery_ramdisk).
Well after reading your post 1 again, I think there's no such partition as recovery_ramdisk(because it will be there only from android 8). So find a recovery in google which works on hi6250 devices with emui 4. That should work. Update me with the result

I forgot to make a backup using TWRP before flashing
I tried to flash LineageOS but it did not work and caused a bootloop (the boot animation shows for about 5 minutes and then reboots)
Using Huawei eRecovery to restore the device was not possible, and it returns the message of "Getting package info failed".
This is likely due to the website "http://update.hicloud.com/" being down
Cannot download any stock ROMs as the downloads I found are all from "http://update.hicloud.com/"
This is the only thread I found about the website being down: link
After some digging I found an old ROM (EMUI 4) that I can use, and flashed it using TWRP
The system booted up just fine after that, but the system looked really old and I wanted to update it
I found an update file and tried to install it using the dload method, which installed through the Huawei recovery just fine.
The phone rebooted and now bootloops to the Huawei eRecovery everytime.
I thought of flashing TWRP again so that maybe I can flash the old rom again, but it does not work and returns the following errors.
command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
Questions
What can I do in this situation with only have access to fastboot commands and the Huawei eRecovery?
Should I just wait for the update website to come back up so that the eRecovery will work and I can install the latest OS from there? Will that ever happen?

Well after reading your post 1 again, I think there's no such partition as recovery_ramdisk(because it will be there only from android 8). So find a recovery in google which works on hi6250 devices with emui 4. That should work. Update me with the result

So I have tried many different recoveries, such as ones for EMUI 4 and 5 and flashing directly to recovery, which gave me an error "image verification failed", and flashing an EMUI 8 to ramdisk would give me the same error as before. I think the partitions on this device is really messed up lol. Also, when I type fastboot reboot recovery, it would just get stuck at the loading screen, so does that mean there is no working recovery installed?

Maybe yes. Did you try directly booting the image without flashing?
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img

Well as you said, you partitions must have been really messed up. I have no other ideas except the test point method.
Are you trying anything else?
Ok we have some option that could help you...
Im read in the 4PDA (the russian XDA xD) forum that it should be possible to flash the oeminfo by fastboot command. So just download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng and expand it. Then go to 7 or 8 Folder and there you go to oeminfo folder. There you choose the right one for your Device and local area...for example BLN-L21 (Device) C432 (European Area)
Extract the file to your desktop and rename it to BLN-L21C432.img
--->be sure that you have the right Device driver installed and the right ADB driver for your device to<---
ok now Copy and Paste the BLN-L21C432.img to ADB folder and start command with admin rights
start the phone into fastboot mode
--->bootloader must be unlocked<---
in the command
fastboot flash oeminfo BLN-L21C432.img
wait for the result and it can not hurt to pray a bit in this moment...hihi
if this have success...you type in command
fastboot reboot
wait to the screen you can press 3 seconds Vol+ to go into erecovery....connect to wlan and it should work step by step like it should.
after download and recover the stock rom reboot and go again to erecover by press Vol+ for 3 seconds and now go to the second option...wipe data/factory reset and write yes+enter
in stock recovery wipe Data after that wipe Cache...reboot and wait that system boot the initial boot for first setup.
If this will not working...tell me what honor 6x you have and wich local area you are from and wich firmware you stock had before you doing wronng
good luck bro
