Hi, after trying unlock my bootloader, I couldn't get into recovery mode without "Your phone cannot be trusted" getting stuck on my screen.
I re-locked the boot loader but now when I go into recovery it says "Data Partition is corrupted please format" then it asks me to connect to a wifi network which then just shows errors everytime the password comes up.
I tried to turn on USB Debugging to ADB sideload a firmware, but I can't because the phone has been resetted; if I try to enter a wifi password the keyboard doesnt show it's just the google voice (which doesn't work) with no options. If i skip the wifi option it just goes on the google login and gets stuck on "Checking Info".
Any solutions to the problem please?
EDIT: I just re-unlocked the bootloader and now its permanently stuck on "Your device cannot be trusted, booting now" regardless of what buttons I press during startup
EDIT 2: I fixed it, it was long and complicated but I got it to work, here's how.
1. When flashing TWRP, I realized I was flashing the TWRP for EMUI 4, so I flashed TWRP for EMUI 5. (Make sure Bootloader is unlocked)
First have all the adb/fastboot drivers, for windows shift + right click the folder and click "Open Command here"
Make sure the twrp img file is in the same folder as the adb folder.
On the honor 8 phone, if it is stuck like mine, turn the phone off and then hold Volume Down + Power Button until the download mode is on the screen
Type "fastboot flash recovery (twrpfilename).img"
Once it's done, turn it off and then hold power button + volume up AND volume down at once till TWRP comes on
(Continuously hold it, if the "Your Device cannot be trusted" screen comes on release)
2. (Make sure internal storage and data are backed up externally for this)
Reset system, data, cache/dalvik, and internal storage
3. Download Update.zip and the second .zip from a website on google, search Honor 8 Manual Nougat and click the link from smartstocknews (I can't post links) but do not follow the steps from that website, and also download GAPPS from open GAPPS. Make sure ARM64 is selected and not ARM as well as 7.0
4. After wiping, mount the Honor 8 by connecting it via USB to a computer, and press "Mount" on TWRP
Upload the both update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and GAPPS ARM64 7.0 to internal or external storage
5. Exit mount and go to install, install the zips in this specific order and do not reboot in between
A) Update.zip
B) Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
C) GAPPS.zip
6. Reboot after GAPPS is done (it might show already installed, if that's the case then it's alright, reboot anyways)
Download the 70mb package for firmware downgrade and the latest marshmallow firmware from your regional huawei's website.
Extract the small package and put the .app file in a folder called dload on the SD card and insert it in your phone.
Boot by holding volume + volume - and pressing power, holding all 3 buttons until the phone vibrates.
The package will flash and afterwards you repeat the process, this time using an .app file from the full marshmallow firmware.
The 70mb package installs not matter how messed up your file system is, and makes your phone ready for the MM firmware. This process brings any brick back to life. Good luck.
I too was trying to root my FRD-L04 and apparently used the wrong TWRP because now I get...
Code:
Unable to open ' ' to wipe crypto key
Unable to wipe Data
Unable to format to remove encryption
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
and I cant get the keyboard loaded so I can log into my wifi when I do a factory reset. I really have no idea how best to attack this...my phone is bricked I can get into TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery, sideload, and fastboot (i think). I am currently downloading the stock ROM for my device and will try to sideload it.
I feel I need to fix the data issues thought before trying to load the ROM as I dont think my data partition is working at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or a step-by-step guide on how to fix my bricked phone?
I've tried all sort of things today but no matter what, I cant get a keyboard working so I guess that means I'm screwed....
EDIT - my phone doesnt have a insertable SD card so I cant fix things the way the above poster suggests.

If you have nougat just flash the correct recovery from the twrp you already have. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563

This is truly one of the worse phones I have ever had when it comes to root and such. My frustration over what, for a unbranded unlocked phone that *should* probably SHIP with root, this phone has and is putting me through is super high.
That being said...so I flashed the new 3.1.0.0 recovery. Before doing that, I had just tried to Unbrick the phone with flashing B162 image with 3.0.3.0...so now the phone is totally frozen in the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." screen. Nothing I seem to do can get it out of this mode.
I want to install the rooted b378 boot.img file I just downloaded, but am unable to find the button commands to get the bootloader loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions in somehow trying to save the day with this damned phone?
much thanks in advance.
EDIT: So I got the phone in bootloader mode by pressing vol up/vol down/power and inserting the usb cable...i flashed the rooted boot.img and twrp 3.1.0.1 to both recovery and recovery2 and now i can get into recovery. I feel like I may actually have a chance now to fix this damn thing...
So can anyone point me in a direction where, from this point with the new recovery loaded and the modded boot image installed, where i can get this phone working?? ill use ANY ROM it dont really matter at this point...
Don't worry. It's really easy, once you know what to do, just realy easy to screw up if you don't. If your phone is a mess just roll back to android 6 using the procedure i described above. Once your phone works, update to nougat and install twrp and root following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563

I pretty much have the same issue. No keyboard showing, just the stupid voice thing, and the Bootloader is Relocked. How did you get it fully unlocked. I can't get it. I guess let me get that resolved first (the bootloader) and I can try to go from there. Please help me.
UPDATE: Never mind I fixed it. I'm not really for sure how either but I think it mainly was just persistence.
Didn't work
Hello, so earlier today I tried to install RROS newest version in hope to get magisk/unrooting my phone because I'm addicted to snapchat and I rooted my phone with SuperSU earlier but didn't know u can't login to snapchat after that. It failed idk why, (I followed instructions very clearly and searched info from internet before doing that) causing me to brick my phone so when I booted it, it only showed black screen. After couple hours not finding way to get into twrp with my circumstances I managed to flash boot, recovery and system images, I tried to reboot and see what happens, (just in case, I kinda knew I didn't had ROM installed at the time, I also was hoping RROS to boot) nothing happened expect my phone got stuck in boot screen for booting EMUI, which was not installed obviously. Again after couple hours I stumbled to your post and managed to finally get myself into TWRP, I followed again ur instructions and everything was going fine, no erros, not anything. When Gapps was finished installing, I rebooted and again it just got stuck into booting screen. I did press and hold Power button, vol+, vol- and got myself into some kind of ROM installing screen, (hard to explain I don't exactly know what is name of it) and no it wasn't Huawei erecovery screen (Power button & Vol+ and no it didn't work me either saying that "getting package info failed") so in that ROM installing screen it just was stuck at 5% installing, and now I don't know what to do. My phone got locked again and I'm stuck at booting screen.
Note:
I don't have SD Card, should I get one and install stock rom?
Sorry for being kinda unclear but I'm tired it was 7 hours ago I got my phone bricked and have surfed on the web finding for answers ever since.
Also as you might notice, yes, I'm new to modding devices etc but still I'm not totally noob. Please help ASAP.
[SOLVED] So after hour of watching netflix as depressed teen I tried to reboot my phone again just in case, got stuck in booting screen. Then I held Power Button + Vol+ and got myself into EMUI stock recovery mode, I chose wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset, after that I rebooted my phone, it was stuck in booting screen for like 2 minutes but then it actually finished booting and now my phone is again functioning and god bless locked & unrooted.
hey,
so I guess I made a major mistake. I wanted to flash twrp recovery with this ramdisk.img , it all worked fine, I could flash it and then I entered the recovery mode via adb with the command adb reboot recovery. The recovery mode twrp logo popped up and all I can see is the name teamwin and the project version, which says 3.2.1-0 btw and the names of the developers nothing more, the screen is frozen and I can't do anything else.
I tried to reboot into fastboot and bootloader with adb but all I does is, that the screen turns off then on and then it says "your device is booting now…" and it leads me back to the teamwin logo and freez again.
I can't do a normal reboot and I can't flash another .img recovery..
I hope someone can help me please..
There must be a way to get out of this.

Were you on android 9 or 8, prior to flashing twrp?
Android 9.1, however I did this but I could get back to eRecovery after I pressed the volume up key and on/off key several times. I normally rebooted my phone and now I can use it again ?
But its still frustrating that it didn't work
Hello
I tried to flash android 9 on my P20 PRO and after the reboot the phone enetered emui recovery for verification and i got the error verification fail and phone turned off.
Now if i wanna try power on the phone nothing happens. But the phone is on cuz i hook it on pc and the HIsuite starts , also on fast boot i can sent reboot command and the phone reboots but the display is black .....
Is there a way i can flash a new system via fastreboot or adb ?? Any help is appreciate..
Thanks alot
eRecovery
The recovery sitting in the "recovery" partition. eRecovery is Huawei's recovery that is able to fix your phone by downloading the latest OTA update via WiFi if you got stuck in a boot loop for several reasons.
To boot into eRecovery:
Power down your phone (if you are stuck in a boot loop simply continue with the next step).
Hold volume up until you end up in eRecovery.
Setup your WiFi access and let it recover your phone.
If unsure, "wipe data/factory reset" to get rid of any leftovers you messed up.
Reboot and be happy that you have not fully bricked your phone.
i cant enter in erecovery ....i have no image on display i tried press power+ volum up and nothing...the phone is on but is black screen .
now the led is blinking red battery empty i think
did you have an unlocked bootloader?
if thats right, you can use this guide to recover.
XDA - Recover
I recovered my phone 2 or 3 times following that guide.

You could try the recovery method in my signature.
Wrote it a while back.
My relatives have gotten this watch gifted to them a while back but it was in chinese so to get it to English I had to unlock bootloader and flash the room. But while doing so I by mistake flashed twrp instead of booting into it on the Recovery Partition right after unlocking bootloader and after rebooting, it was stuck in a horrible bootloop. Why is it horrible?
So the problem is, it keeps booting into twrp, fails to mount data cache and everything, shuts down and reboots again, shows a warning that it can't detect an operating system and continues to boot into the same twrp recovery and so on. When I try to boot into bootloader, it says to go to g.co/ABH and read instructions to proceed, but after holding down the button to continue to boot, it goes back to the same bootloop.
I cannot boot it into bootloader or get it into fastboot, I can't do anything in twrp and I can't boot into os (cause of course, there is none). Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've been struggling for 4 hours with this today. I'm really scared that I've completely bricked it and can't restore it .
I can see it in adb devices while it's in twrp and twrp is freaking out then shutting down, but I can't even side load a rom to even install something I can boot into.
Link me a thread if there is one where this problem gets fixed or help me please. Thank you!
I flashed emui 8 on my honor 6x by following the guide in guides section....like debranding and using some tool to flash the emui8
It was working well for 1 year and was used normally...suddenly one morning I woke up and saw it was stuck in "your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted......then press power key to boot and volume key 3 seconds to go to recovery"
I didnt do any flashing on that night....I was using emui 8 normally from many months....
Now with this error I tried all combinations to get into erecovery, twrp etc....nothing happens....only FASTBOOT works when I connect mobile to PC and press volume - and power button....In fastboot I tried flashing different and all types TWRP, stock erecoveries, emui8 supported TWRP also, etc.....nothing works when I do the button combination to goto recovery.....every time I get to the screen "your device is unlocked etc....phone is booting up" and is stuck on that only , I attached the screenshot.....Please help guys
One important mention is the phone never shuts down until battery gets empty.....If I connect charger the same error shows up..... If I try to access recovery or dload method...same screen appears without the below instructions and shows " Your device is unloced etc. and your device is booting up"....but is stuck on that only
1) I tried flashing all type of recoveries stock, TWRP, Emui8 supported, elite recovery also, nothing boots to recovery
2) I tried dload method, copied all extracted content with update.app in dload folder of sdcard and used volume both buttons and power button.....no use stuck on same screen
3) Tried downloading EMUI 8 recovery_ramdisk and system images on phone...successfully flashed, but the phone on reboot gets stuck on the same page only

Hello, are you still having the same problem? I might be able to help you but I need some information.
First, what commands did you use on fastboot to flash recovery?
Did you try directly booting recovery image without flashing?
