Hello guys, i need your help to unbrick my phone. First of all what i did to brick it was to unlock the boot loader, then used the Honor 6 Multi Tool to get a Cwm on it with it, it was EMUI 3.1 in the choosing. After that my phone restarted and now its hung up at Honor sign, and i can only access Fastboot mode but not recovery. I tried already playing new flashes on it with cust, boot, system and recovery and got a update on my sd card but it didnt work, it doesnt recognize my update and still only shows the honor screen, can anyone help me? Much appreciated
I have the same problem as you... but i don't know the basic informations about the phone (like model , IMEI or other stuff)... so i need help to... THANKS
To successfully unbrick it, follow these exact steps and you'll be good to go.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.

While flashing the above commands, the phone needs to be in fastboot mode right? How to get it in the fastboot mode?

Try to get the unlock code coz the message
Remote command not allowed
Is because of bootloader still being locked. There is a way if you can start a chat with honor representative and ask him to give you the code.
There is a unlock code calculator, use it.

It's trying to install from Huawei hi suite on PC. Take the USB off and try again.
Hi,
My Honor 6 (Indian Version) was stuck in boot loop post OTA upgrade from B822 to B831. In order to fix this issue, I went through many forums available online and then decided to use the Multi Tool to downgrade to Android L & EMUI 3.1.
To get this done I have followed the below steps:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY and SYSTEM files from the update package downloaded from Honor.in site. //(Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_C675B570_India_Flipkart)//
3. Used Multi Tool to unbrick.
Post this the phone is not able to get into recovery mode; it's stuck at the logo screen. It doesnot recognise the 3 button command to boot into recovery mode.
I have tried using the 'boot to recovery' command in Multi Tool but it throws error "daemon not running starting on port 5037".
I have also tried adb command but for some reason my computer does not recognise my mobile.
i.e. adb devices --> doesnot show my device. (yes, I have updated the abb drivers). So I am not able to use any adb commands.
Then i tried installing/flashing CWM & TWRP recovery. None helped. :crying:
Now I am here, out of options and do not know how to proceed.
Could someone in this forum help me fix the current issue? Please.
In addition, I would like to know a few things:
a. How to install a new OS/ROM on a dead phone? (Healthy hardware with corrupt software)
b. How to format any phone and start a fresh installation?
c. How to read internal memory of a phone which has no ROM or corrupt software?
I am new to all this. Please bear with me.
Thanks,
Sampath

First of all hold and press power + vol down to boot into bootloader mode and type
Fastboot devices
After connecting your phone to PC and opening a command window in platform-tools. Your device should be listed.
adb devices works only when your phone is already booted into Android or running twrp.
Copy and paste the four image files to platform-tools folder and fire these commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
And then use the 3 button command.

I am in a bit different situation, let me explain.
Till day before yesterday I was on B570 Rom, then I upgraded over OTA to B831, then Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, Installed Latest TWRP Recovery & Installed Latest Xposed Framework, everything went successfull & My phone is running fine.
But the question that arises to me is that none of the Stock Marshmallow update for Honor 6 - H60-L04 has been stable as compared to Lollipop Version & I found B570 super stable & the possibility of myself reverting back to B570 is more. What would be the procedure to revert back to B570.. I think first of all I would have to revert back to stock recovery & then flash the rom package, but how to do this successfully.
Kindly advice.

Thank you for your response. :good:
I have flashed all the files using the fastboot mode, but my phone does not recognise the 3 button command.
It either displays the Honor logo or restarts with a quick vibration. the only command it recognised is 'Vol Down + USB plugged into a computer' (for fastboot).
When flashed with Honor Custom or CWM recovery the phone does not recognise:
1. Vol up + Vol down + Power - for recovery mode
2. Vol down + Power - for hard reset/clear cache partition
When flashed with TWRP recovery the phone only recognises: Power + Vol Up button which boots into recovery mode; however this works only when connected to a power source, the moment I disconnect the power cable the phone switches off.
I tried to install Honor 6 custom ROM EMUI4.0 using TWRP. Need guidance on the below two scenarios.
1. TWRP only recognises .zip files. HONOR custom ROMs are in .app format. What should I do?
2. As a work around, I have downloaded 'Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C432B820_Channel-Others.zip' from xda forum and tried installing it, but TWRP throws a 'no md5 file found' error.
To address this I tried using WinMD5.exe to get the MD5 code and manually created a .MD5 file, but TWRP did not recognise it. Please guide.
Thanks,

You need to flash stock recovery first, by executing this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
@sampathnayak09
Make sure your power button is working correctly. If the files can be flashed successfully, you should be able to boot into recovery.
Honor firmware can only be flashed using three button method. You can search online for making .zip from .app but I am not sure that will solve your problem.

There are rollback packages for going back. I have read those threads on XDA but could not find them again. Will look for them and will send you a link as soon as I found one.

Thanks for the reply.
If I extract the recovery.img from the B831 Rom Package & flash the same using the below command will it give me back my stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And if once I am on Stock Recovery I hope I can again Install a full fresh copy of the B831 Package which will be with Stock Recovery i.e NO TWRP Recovery & root free. And after that when I get the rollback package I can revert back to B570. Pls advice am I going right or is there any possibility that I will brick my phone.

If the phone keeps going off you tried charging for a while? Battery might not be charging due to no OS.

My honor 6 bricked about a month ago so can not verify this method but to get out of bootloop, always keep a nandroid backup of your device somewhere safe.
You can make a nandroid backup using twrp. Save it to SD card and then copy it to your PC to keep it safe.

Hi,
I did flash the stock recovery, but my phone keeps rebooting and doesn't get into recovery mode.
I am sure it has sufficient battery charge. (Close to 90%).
Is there a way to do a clean install on Android phones? Like the way we install Windows OS on computers. Format hard disks, create partitions and then install a fresh OS?
Thanks

Find attached below the required links for Rollback package & TWRP.
1) https://club.hihonor.com/in/honor6.217/downgrade-link-from-marshmallow-b831-to-lollipop-b570.7935
2) https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor6.html
Regarding TWRP, it lets you install custom roms & other apps which cannot be installed thru stock recovery e.g Xposed Framework. Further TWRP is useful for restoring the phone as it allows to restore the phone by using Nandroid backups taken earlier, provided the Nandroid backups are stored in SD Card. There may be more advantages which I am still trying to find out.

Let me know which Rom version is your phone running now & which version you are trying to migrate to.
Also if 3 button Force update is not working then you can try the project menu option.
But first let me know what state your phone is currently in.
Here is a problem:
I was messing with my phone (HONOR 6A DLI-L22). I unlocked a bootloader and then install TWRP recovery image using fastboot and adb. Then my phone started doing the boot loop (like you turn on the phone and then the phone switches off by himself). And what I did afterwards is went back to fastboot end removed the recovery. However, I removed not just RECOVERY.img but also I removed CUST.img, SYSTEM.img and BOOT.img. Which means that my phone has no ROM. When you turn on the phone, the phone boots up only to eRecovery. The ROM that was instaled on the phone was Android 7.0 + EMUI 5.0. Now I need an actual stock ROM that can be compatible with my phone which I cannot find. I tried using stock ROMs that were made for Honor 6 PLUS and Honor 6. I used Huawei Upgrade Extractor to extract ROMs so that I can flash manually into a phone. But when I try to flash recovery.img, boot.img and cust.img, the cmd shows me this:
"sending 'recovery' (9604 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.306s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image is not a boot image)
finished. total time: 0.316s"
This message shows for recovery, cust and boot. I also tried to put update.app in dload folder on external SD card and then flash it. Still no luck. So I am guessing is that I need to get an actual ROM image for Honor 6A. What should I do to make phone working?

hi there
at the time of this writing, the website of honor support does NOT show any download for "6A", only for 6, 6 plus, 6X.
neither UK, ITALY, SPAIN web sites, that in fact are quite similar and show the very same downloads
I have a Huawei Honor Mate SE. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, Magisk. Had everything great. I wanted to remove TWRP to update my phone. After I tried to flash stock recovery, I keep getting this error in fastboot:
func no 11 (recovery image)
error no 2 (load failed)
I had twrp working last night, but now everytime I flash recovery, it boots into that error menu. I tried flashing recovery_ramdisk, recovery_vbmeta and recovery_vendor all with stock img files. Anyone have any ideas? My phone will boot up normally and will work great, just can't update it and can't boot into recovery. Am I missing a partition to flash? Also I did try HiSuite and my phone is not compatible even though I backed up my phone with that program.
I also did try the dload method and it gets stuck at 5%. And last night when I did get recovery working, it wouldn't download from the server, just keeps getting error, and now I cannot even get to recovery

Hi
Recently someone sent me a device from Tecno which is not available in Europe. It is Tecno Pouvoir 4 which comes with 3gb ram 32gb rom, 7 inch screen, Mediatek Helio A22, Android 10.
I take no responsibility for your actions and anyone who is willing to follow this guide should know the consequences as well. If you do not know what you are doing, please do not go ahead with this guide.
This is the method that I have tested and works perfectly!
1.Unlock Bootloader > enable oem unlock , usb debugging after turning on developers options from settings
2. Install drivers, Setup adb and fastboot and type :
Code:
adb devices
check if device is connected properly
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
boot into fastboot
Code:
fastboot devices
check if fastboot device connected properly
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Command to unlock bootloader
press volume up key on screen when prompted. Your device will be unlocked and all date will be lost.
3. Next , I used magisk to patch boot.img from stock rom. The size of boot.img reduced to 9Mb from 32Mb.
Copied it from phone and saved it in PC to flash it to device
Code:
fastboot flash boot nameofboot.img
nameofboot.img will be the name of patched boot image you are using.
Next, I flashed patched vbmeta.img which I made with avbtools in python.
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
The device also contained vbmeta_system and vbmeta_vendor which I initially patched as well but after more testing, flashing modified has no effect on the outcome if bootloader is unlocked.
FILES HERE
Please use the files from folder "FIles Used" which contains
a. vbmeta_disabled_unsigned > This is vbmeta.img
b. magisk_patched_flashed > this is boot.img
vbmeta_disabled_unsigned should work with any future versions as well.
Make sure you have same stock rom version as listed above if you are going ahead with flashing. These files are from "LC7-H6116BCF-Q-GL-200612V304_Signed"
I have also found a full stock rom to recover this device online which I am sharing for anyone who faces a bootloop during this procedure.
STOCK ROM HERE
If anyone really needs the root, flash the above stock rom and then use the files in this guide.
Good Luck!
Anyone who wants more details about patching vbmeta, device partitions or anything about this device , I am more than happy to answer.
I have not been successful to port TWRP for this device yet. As I am not very interested in ROM development or any further development on this device, which needs lots of extensive work, I am not willingly to go ahead with that.

Hello,
I have a Tecno Spark 4 air (kc6).
I can't find a stock rom. I read that it's possible to "dump" stock rom from a MediaTek Chipset so I can root it, but I don't know how. Can you help me please? thank you

Dear friends, do not tell me about this problem. Once the phone was rooted, but the root is lost. Apparently due to a firmware update. Now it shows this message when loading. Now it's Android 11, with a security update from 03/05/22, HiOS 7.5.0 (OS7.5-R-P31-201030), build LC7-H6116BCF-R-GL-220311V1358.
How to root a phone without losing information? Thank you!
