Hello. So a friend has a mate 7 and he somehow soft bricked it. He told me that he tried to update it.
It is stock(no root, locked bootloader etc)
When i turn it on i get the rescue mode screen, saying Attention! Please update system again
Error!
Func NO : 13(FUNC_BOOT_FLASH)
Error NO : 1
I cant ender recovery mode(black screen). I can only ender Fastboot mode.
I tried to reflash recovery.img and boot.img(i got the files using huawei extractor. got them from a 4.4 rom i found),
but when i type any of these commands i get this error
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
I installed adb drivers and Hisuite.
I would unlock the bootloader, but i cant access some of the needed codes because the phone wont boot.
I also tried to force update from a sd card, but nothing happens. The phone just boots in rescue mode and just hangs there.
Any help would be apreciated. Thanks!
Ok so after some hours of googling i think the only was to unbrick it, is to unlock the bootloader and then flash via fastboot.
The problem is that there is no way to get the product id. The phone cant boot or do anything. It can only start in rescue and fastboot mode.
Any ideas?
So I updated my FRD-L04 to the Nougat Beta, and while I was following the instructions and Flashesd the Update. For some reason I lost TWRP and cant boot into recovery, my bootloader is unlocked.....however in developer options OEM Unlock is grey out and i cant enable it.... So when ever i try to run a command through fastboot it says is not allow.... and when i try ti re-lock the bootloader i get FAILED (remote: root type is risk)... I try to roll back package from Huawei website but that also fails..... Now i dont know what to do.
I am in the same boat. Did the new beta via twrp. My usb debug was greyed out but i was able to to get it to turn on for short moments.
I have now lost twrp and now the phone wont even boot the the Android 7 beta os!
I have fastboot but when i try to fastboot flash system or cust they both fail. My bootloader is still unlocked tho.
edit: I downloaded the beta flashable zip and the update that is seperate. I took out the boot recovery cust and system from them and was able to flash them via fastboot. The phone now boots back to the android 7.0 beta. Phew!!!!!
Now to attempt downgrade to 6.0 adn get twrp back
You should look for a downgrade package
Since you have lost TWRP, I think you will have to reinstall it and root your device again.

I tried thta multiple times, but when i flash recovery it says its not allow, again i think is because i can enable oem unlock on settings

Like I mention on my initial post I have already tried the downgrade package..but it does not work. I can't enable oem unlock since is grayed out ... my boot loader is unlock and I can't use the phone but NFC Bluetooth etc does not work.. I even tried to flash the downgrade package recovery and boot image through fast boot but it's not allow since I can't enable oem unlock...
I'll research a bit and see If I can find something
Hey XDA folks, today I've flashed oreo in l09c10b521 using TWRP and HuRupdater. In this process I've flashed HuRupdate.zip then all three files got flashed, unfortunately I formated data partition and rebooted. After reboot, phone didn't booted until I perform factory reset in stock recovery. Finally phone booted up but no Setup Wizard, no Gapps, only filemanger and some emui apps.
In Dev options OEM unlock option is faded/greyed out. Unable to flash anything in ADB
>> Is there any way so that I can go back to Nougat and use Gapps <<
If its not possible then how can I install Gapps?

Similar here with some differences. FRP-Locked, Phone unlocked, TWRP previously installed. I Can't install stock recovery because FRP locked. No Gapps, no keyboard, just some Huawei apps. OEM Unlock is grey, but bootloader unlocked.
The same happened to me, this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/firmware-huawei-honor-8-frd-l09-stock-t3696921 helped to rollback and everything works fine .

I've tried dloading vendor(update hw_ru.img) but it failed, then I tried main(update.app) firmware then also failed.

Same here.
First you have to dload the main firmware file, then the renamed vendor.

When you try this method, the bootloader and phone (FRP) in locked state? Or Bootloader unlocked?
My phone is just booting just to Stock recovery, eRecovery or fastboot, but the "OS" won't boot. If I restart, or power on my phone just boot to eRecevery. Now in the fastboot mode the bootloader and FRP in locked state.
All software install failed.
No luck over 5-6 hours. All firmwares I want to flash ended "Software installation failed". In FF I find a B407 rollback package from Oreo, but its still not approved yet
same here, does anyone know how to fix it?

Same? Won't booting and just recovery, erecovery or fastboot come up, frp and bootloader locked? Oh, and no luck for flashing any firmware?
I'm affraid, just the B407 rollback package bring back to life, but still not approved yet.

actually it boots, but i have an emui without google apps, and a greyed oem unlocking option, so i can't unlock
i ve same issue, frp and bootloader locked. all firmware stop at 5% no gapps and greyed oem setting (c10b521)
I do not know how to find the "magic" firmware that does not fail...
should you understand based on which criterion is installed the firmware, recovery version? version of the system? I have no idea
For locked FRP, you can relock the bootloader and after that unlock again. It unlocks the FRP again. Just write "relock" instead of "unlock".
And about the "not approved" packages, seems that Hurupdater doesn't care, it just installs.
But for some magic firmware, just download some way older firmware for dload installation. For me that always works on my L09C432, is 360.

Ok. Just one problem occured for Me: I do a bootloader relock, and this ended a not bootable OS, Relocked Bootloader and locked FRP. Just boot to eRecovery.

Just one problem with this: 360 is not a rollback package, so if you want to refresh (back) to this, just show You an "Installation Failed" message, and nothing more. So 360 just works if you want to refresh from a lower Nougat or MarsMallow build, or "rollback" from a higher build Nougat firmware.

You relocked, then unlocked, and it didn't unlock? Strange. I know atleast that the same unlock/relock commands work with nougat and oreo. I've done it a few times.
360 is a full package(FULLOTA-MF-PV) for my model. Other models have different package numbers.
You need to have a full package. Make a folder "dload" on root of an SD-card, with "update.app"-file in it. I have also the "meta-inf" and "full_mainpkg.tag" there, but i don't know if they are really needed. Then just boot the phone with power+volup+voldown and it should install.
No. I relocked the bootloader, but after that and the "automatic" factory reset the phone not boot to the os, just to the erecovery. So i can not change the "OEM unlock" option to unlock again the bootloader.
The install. I'l know the install method, but not work. Any package what 8 want to install ended (after 5%) a "software install failed". Ok. The 360 PV package is a good one, but this package not work, if you want to roll back from a higher master version, like oreo. This package just work if you in nougat, or MM.

Yes, but it s needed flash recovery patched first...
As long as it boots, yes you can repair. You must ask someone with frp UNLOCK to back up partition 'FRP'. Then they send this partition and you flash it (requires root) and now FRP is good in bootloader.

The device starts, but how do I flash the frp partition without root?
