I messed up with Huawei Mate 9. Please Help. - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Guys i have a really really big problem with mate 9 (MHA-L29). I broke both twrp and system same time (please don't ask why.)
Now, my phone don't open, just fastboot&rescue mode, useless huawei recovery (which can't format data neither install stock rom). Besides, i can't install stock rom because i tried once, and i downloaded wrong system file, and i can't format the phone now. Because of that, stock rom that i download sd card not working too. Because there is a dload file in phone.
worst of all, i can't install twrp again, because my fastboot screen tell me that: "Phone Unloced" (with red) "FRP Lock" (with green). When i try to install twrp, adb says "Failed, remote command not allowed"
Now, if can install the twrp, all my problems will be solve. There is 1 custom rom (RomAur) and 1 system backup.
How can i install twrp with this situation?

Please someone help me i spend 2 days and still nothing! How can i open this phone? Stock rom, with/without root, custom rom whatever, just tell me how can i open this phone

You get that command when trying to flash the wrong recovery partition, was your room nougat or Oreo based?? If nougat it's fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and Oreo fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img I think you are trying to flash the wrong partition

No, my twrp is not wrong, i installed before, and i used long time, till broken. I installed wrong twrp recovery over correct recovery (i was trying to chance recovery because project treble). Thats why my twrp broken. Now i try to correct one, but adb says "not allowed". My custom rom nougat based.

With FRP lock you'll have to use DC-Phoenix.
But it costs €19 (For 3 days usage).
Simply put you can bypass FRP with it by force closing DC-Phoenix when it has activated the backdoor, after this you can flash anything from fastboot (until you reboot).
So you could use it to flash back TWRP.
Or you can use it to install stock firmware

During startup the menu there is a option to go in Huawei e-recovery, when you are at the start up menu hold volume up for about 5 second.

Special Request
Hey ante . Is it possible to help me ? I rooted my phone 2 days back and messed it up while downloading a framework app which ended me up in a bootloop. I have been reading and following your posts of you helping others. I don't really get the steps what I should follow.
My phone is unlocked. FRP shows Unlock.
Rooted on oreo and I tried e-recovery and fastboot steps you mentioned in other threads using kernel and ramdisk etc. ( After this I have lost access to TWRP and I am simply getting EMUI Screen with options for Factory Data Reset and Wipe Cache Partition. I don't know where it is going to lead me next :-/.
Also downloaded Huawei Extractor and tried to extracted specific files but the firmware file I have doesn't have CUST.img file.
Also the site link you mentioned for download firmware is in some other language and I am unable to search for my firmware.
I also tried the placing update file in the dload on my sd card but fails at 5%. The file was correct and I am sure I did'n download the wrong firmware.
Currently it shows this on the fastboot screen.
Andorid reboot reason
: AP_S_ABNORMAL 32
NA
Just don't know what I should be doing ? PLEASE HELP BRO?

What's your firmware now?
You can get that info in Fastboot using
Code:
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot oem get-build-number
Since your recovery and fastboot still functions you probably will only need to use HWOTA to get back to stock.
It can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
But post your cust/build before proceeding.
Also cust.img is found in UPDATE.APP in the hw data zip.

Problem Solved - Somewhat
Hey ante. Thanks for the promt reply. I got it solved by using CHIMERA tool.
Would like to suggest others also stuck with same issue to use CHIMERA.
Note - It is a paid tool and 100% legit and it can help with all problems related to FRP, Bootloader Lock / Unlock & also flashes back to factory firmware.
However what I am facing now I have flashed another version of firmware which isn't my region and some features of my phone like fingerprint scanner and other things are not working but phone is back to live. So Im glad and looking forward to searching for clean Oreo Firmware for my region to flash using CHIMERA Again.
Also, the sick and stupid part of it. I went to the service center and a person non-technical told me straight that you lost your device and it's of no use now. We cannot fix such issues 99% but I'll still ask my team and let you know after 3 days.
Thank God I didn give them and wasted my time and money.
As soon as I returned, I followed up to things and got it done myself. :good:
Anybody can possibly suggest a official firmware Oreo EMUI for Middle East Region!? If not which one can be flashed instead and where to download from?

Frp locked

Ok, here is the deal, i was being impatient, i flashed nougat yesterday on my phone, after flashing it there was no keyboard to enter my email to login, so i stupidly but unknowingly so changed my gmail password to an easier one cause the only input method i had was voice commands, anyways, i got helped out by another xda member, and i got FRP locked for changing my password, then i attempted to rollback to MM, now my bootloader is relocked and it says FRP LOCKED, the thing is i did a nandroid full backup with twrp of everything on my phone before starting all this and every step along the way when something went wrong i went to twrp to recover but the restore did not appear despite having it on my sd card so idk if it have to be on internal memory or there is something wrong with twrp, currently my phone is bricked and i need help recovering it since i am broke these days and i can't afford another phone and it's out of warranty, if the backup can be restored somehow or any other methods, please guys let me know, any help is greatly appreciated
i flashed rollback package, then b320, then black screen, then flashed b200 failed at 5%, b162 also failed at 5%, then flashed the rollback package one more time, now i am stuck with the huawei logo, can't flash anything else, any long press just shuts the phone for a second then takes me back to the huawei logo, i can only access the bootloader and it is FRP locked

Yes finally. You have to download the update file for whatever version of the rom you currently have installed. Then extract userdata, boot, system, and erecovery1 and erecovery2 images. Fastboot flash them in bootloader mode. Reboot device. Shutdown device. Boot to system recovery and do a full system restore. All set.

can u make the total tutorial video of this whole process ???
I would ask if you could post a link to the update you used and a list of the commands you used..im in the US ..so it is honor 6x for the US
bricked honor 6x
You need three softwares
1. huawei multi tool by mt,,,,, in english version bro
2. Huawei update extractor
3. Firmware file update .zip
First extract the zip file , there you will get update.app file . Extract BOOT.IMG RECOVERY.IMG SYSTEM.IMG USER DATA.IMG using Huawei extractor software .
NOW open huawei multitool app (internet connection required)
Put all these files you extracted in unbrick folder of huawei multi tool
Follow steps to unbrick your device
Thank you..
can you send the links please....thank you!

Honor 8 impossibility to install stock ROM

Hello everyone !
I need some help because I am stuck with an Honor 8 that is not working. I have tried to install AOSP 8.0 [Open Kirin] and maybe I have done something wrong. Indeed, after flashing AOSP the device will be able to boot and start on it but Wi-Fi, SMS and GAPPS cannot work. So I need your help because I have tried all methods in order to install & flash the stock ROM i.e. dload + 3 buttons on start result : the installation stucked at 5% and Huawei eRecovery result : Getting software info. from server failed.
I have already flash BOOT.img, SYSTEM.img and RECOVERY.img but I cannot access to recovery i.e. start+ vol. + and with fastboot flash I cannot flash CUST.img and my computer says : failed not have the right permissions to write on this partition, something like that. I do not know if it has importance but I have already erase all with TWRP and in addition, erase calendar stockage when my devices worked properly. So what I needed is a 100% stock device on EMUI with maybe things that I have erased and I do not know what is.
Thanks for reading and helping
My devices :
- Honor 8 FRD-L09
- SD Card Sandisk 64 Go
- USB-C cable
- A computer under Ubuntu 18.04 with adb and fastboot commands installed
Ok so.. Since you said you've flashed boot and recovery, all you need to do is a dload install. There's a guide on xda here. As far as the aosp, I know it works because I ran it for months on mine. Seems you made an error somewhere in the installation process, but that's besides the point. Do a quick search for the dload installation method and follow it to a point and you should get back to stock no problem
Ok I will try one more time but I have already done this method and it stuck at 5%...
Thanks for reply
EDIT: Ok the dload method fonctionnated, in fact to install stock ROM we need first to install firmware package and then install vendor package.
Thanks, subject close.

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 bad , I thought the update website to be huawei's official one(something like update.hicloud and all isn't it?). Well, thanks for the information but I still prefer gsi. It's buttery smooth .
And one more thing, if you follow the youtube video I mentioned, you don't need any gsi. You can get your device back on stock EMUI 5.

Is your bootloader still unlocked?
Did you try using another recovery image instead of the one you are getting error for?

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

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?

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.

hey Marek, i was on android 12, i flashed twrp recovery then i relocked the bootloader!
so i was stuck in bootloader infinity loop, then i downgraded my phone to an very old firmware it is begin with 18 and ends with .raw archive format and mine was beginn 31 and ends wtih zip archive format (it has payload.bin) inside.
so i get failed flashing manuelly the last update of android 12 also the last update (android 13). OTA can nothing getting. what should i do now if you don't mind!?
Edit: the phone doesnt charging and loops now at logo
Hello, you should incrementally update from your version by downloading each upgrade package from Asus site which is newer then your current version and flash them one by one. Or you can find the newest package which you are able to install and repeat this procedure until you can flash the newest Android 13 package. Your current old firmware cannot unpack newest package so you need update by steps.

Other method (untested): Extract latest payload.bin and flash all partitions to inactive slot than change it to active using fastboot

hey, Thanks for replay, i am facing now another messeges.
1- the phone does not charging at all
2- when i plug in into chrage its reboot again and again.
3- the bootloader is open, but when i try to flash any files through bootloader i get:
FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))
or
FAILED (remote: 'Warning: battery's capacity is very low
to recovery mode i am unable to go there
i tried boot or flash the twrp.img also only boot.img also flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd
nothing helps me!!!
Hello, can you try to keep phone on charger for a few hours? Maybe it will charge enough to enter recovery mode. You should never flash twrp by fastboot on a/b devices as they don't have recovery partition. Please restore stock boot.img extracted from payload.bin and after this try booting into fastbootD, not fastboot and then attempt flashing complete firmware package (raw). To boot into fastbootD, keep holding volume keys, when you see a bootloader screen use volume keys to select option "recovery mode". You should now enter stock recovery. Ussing vol keys select option "enter fastboot". You should be now in fastbootD. This is possible only with boot.img without twrp installed as fastbootD is a part of stock recovery, magisk is fine.
Remember to perform all flashing operations with usb port on the left side, the bottom one does not work in bootloader. And make sure you are using latest adb/fastboot binaries, these from popular auto-installers are usually outdated and may cause errors during flashing.

I've tried leaving it on overnight and it never charges, there's even no charging lights.
Yesterday I tried flashing via Bugjeager and it didn't work either (betwenn to android devices)
Although the bootloader is unlocked, it gives me a Not Allowed In Lock State message!
the current version of the installed firmware is that old that i flashed WW_ZS673KS_18.0810.2101.95_M2.13.24.9-ASUS_1.1.46_Phone-user.raw, it is non extractable so i cant get the boot.img of it!
I am attaching here the matching boot.img for your 2101.95 firmware. Your phone boots to bootloader as I can see on the video but cannot enter recovery as you have corrupted your boot partition. Can you pm me output of fastboot getvar all command? Please do not post it publicly as it may contain private data such as serial numbers. Good luck!
Are you sure that you have unlocked bootloader? I understand that you have relocked your bootloader and since then your phone never booted into working system. It is not possible to unlock bl with fastboot, only with asus app which requires working Android system

Sometimes I can be a bit slow to respond as I am on the university during day. Hopefully your issue seems to be possible to be solved just by flashing raw firmware and wiping data partition.
so i was rooted on 12 when update was done i did the usual and hit "later" went into magisk did thr ota to keep root once it booted i was stuck on logo forever, so i flashed original boot.img and booted up good with no root. so then i patched boot in magisk and flashed it and stuck on logo again unless i flash original boot.img. this never happened before. how did you keep root?

if youre still stuck, try to fastboot flash raw firmware and reroot and re update again. twrp only works for me with the magisk twrp installer but then you'll have to re flash patched image as it will remove root

hahaha, the owner of this thread had helps me a lot but no way and yesterday i have been lost my imei and isn and the rest.., that was because i tried using miflash.
I did it in the same way as you, just after OTA i installed magisk to inactive slot and rebooted. Maybe you have some incompatible magisk modules which caused bootloop on A13.

Oh ok ok makes sense. I had curl module installed. I loved android 13 but I'ma stay on 12 cause the modified read/write script only works on Android 12 and 11 and I need it to uninstall bloatware. Disabling them isn't good enough for me lol I gotta uninstall them completely. I can only do that if system is read/write and this script flashed through two works great to have read/write system. Thank you though

Actually you can debloat fully systemless, just create magisk module which replaces bloatware directories with empty folders. Or even better use this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-terminal-debloater-v17-3-2-debloat-systemlessly.3584163/
It is an automated way to make packages fully disappear without remounting system as rw. This module replaces them with empty folders, just like in the manual solution. The packages disappear from system completely and if you install any debloated app from play store or apk it will be installed as user (non-system) app.

Oh wow thank you man I'll give it a shot.
I found a gui-based app on github to systemlessly debloat, it is easier to use than this script I posted link to. Here is the link: https://github.com/sunilpaulmathew/De-Bloater
Does anyone have the full RAW firmware, flashed via fastboot? Thank you all
