Hi, I have the following problem.
A friend of mine gave me a Honor H60-L12 with a problem with calls. No audio or microphone was working. It was a stock phone, with emui 2.3 and Android 4.4.2
I decided to upgrade it, and downloaded an h60-l12_emui3.0_4.4_5.8.5. That solved the problem, but now, I have a chinese phone, without google play market, or google account, AND, it only works on 2G. No matter what I set on the APN. Same sim card works perfect on another phone.
I tried to restore the phone with differents update.app, with the 3 button method and the local update method, nothing works. Is there anything I can do to get a normal android build on emui3.0 or i bricked the phone?
Thanks a lot
Go to fastboot and flash manually. Check the method to flashing rom through fastboot mode.
For this, you need to download the stock rom(miui 2.3 specificly for your version only, else it won't work) and then you have to extract it using "Huawei Extractor" to get the required files. Then those files can be flashed using following fastboot command.
- fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
- fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
- fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
- fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
- fastboot flash cust CUST.img
- fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
I have tried this and I succeed.
Refer the below link(Its using multi tool):

Ashishakp, thanks for reply!!! My phone is now on stock ROM again.
I still have the problem with the chinese firmware version. Is there a way I can update it to the ROM that came with the phone? It was a USA android build, with google market and google account.
Best solution would be EMUI 3.0 International via OTA.
Is that possible?
I have a H60-L12, it was on B116 (but it was marked as B1116 in settings....) and it never got any OTA, even honor suite still say it's up to date. And when I go in "updates" it was like a simple OTA checking screen, not with the blue EMUI logo.
I was previously rooted so the bootloader is unlocked.
So I flashed the latest EMUI 2.3 (B121), only flashing recovery and system in fastboot. And it worked well. Now I have the blue EMUI update screen with the local update button. I put the update.app for EMUI 3.1 (B532) on the dload folder on SD card, used the local update button, it reboot but it say the update failed and come back to the B121.
Then I flashed the recovery and system from B532, but once it reboot it stay on the honor logo (with the powered by android at the bottom). But nothing else, I waited 5 minutes. Hopefully it was not bricked, I go in fastboot mode again and flashed back B121, reboot and all normal again.
I still don't get where is the problem. The 3 button method don't work too, but i tested under B116, it just take the honor screen without any menu to flash update.app.
Hi. I was trying to install cm13 on my honor 8. I unlocked the bootloader, but while trying to install twrp recovery I think I deleted everything off the phone. The huawei erecovery doesn't work, and I tried sooooo many fastboot commands. I can't do adb commands. I can only get into fastboot mode. Is there anyway for me to get out of this? I tried flashing the system.img and boot.img from fastboot but it fails.

Yes. I installed a roll back update (something like that) by getting into the force update mode. After it finished, I had to then apply the full stock firmware. The problem was that I somehow put the firmware of another phone, because my model number was from a different Huawei phone.

Hi. I got tired of CM13, so I tried to go back to stock. I checked a guide online which told me to flash 2 files using TWRP. after that, I lost twrp and now my bootloader is locked. What do I do? I manually did an update with the update.app file, and it says update success, but when it reboots it stays on the honor 8 screen, I waited for 25 minutes and it's still there.

Try going into stock recovery and doing a factory reset after you use the update.app. You'll have to unlock the bootloader again and flash twrp if you want root.
Restoring to MM using a full image will typically lock the bootloader.
It happened to me too, it is possible you still didn't use the right image.
This is how I recovered mine:
1. Go here to download the latest firmware for your model: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=129406
2. Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract files from the "Update.app". (Ignore the 'profile' drop down list in the app.)
3. Unlock your phone's bootloader.
4. Flash these four images (extracted using the tool from step 2):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
5. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. This is needed to reformat the internal storage (and make it encrypted I think). (Power+Vol Up)
6. Put the Update.app file inside the "dload" folder in your SDcard.
7. Boot into flash mode to let the phone flash the Update.app (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down).

2 things, 1 is that there are 2 recovery files in the UPDATE.APP, and 2 is that I can't do a factory reset from the recovery, because it brings me to the erecovery and it doesn't give me the option to factory reset.

You need to hold VOLUME UP and POWER button with the phone off to get into the recovery to do a factory reset. Once the honor logo pops up, you can release the power and volume up buttons.
Recovery.img = Stock recovery
Recovery2.img = eRecovery

I just did everything exactly the way you said. But it still stays at the honor boot logo. I don't mind waiting over night for it to boot up if I have to, but I've never had a phone take this long to boot up, even on first boot.
For a "brick" thread, it seems odd that the model is never mentioned so that someone can really point you to the right spot. If you keep going to erecovery, then it has to do with whether or not your cable is plugged in (likely you've been keeping it plugged in for your fastboot attempts, or that's a guess). I only go to erecovery with both up/down & power if the cable is plugged in. If I want to get to stock recovery (regardless of what the hell is in the "recovery" partition, TWRP, or who knows?) then I unplug it before trying any key combo from power off to get there.
Lastly, if you use this sort of thing as a template (I'm just going to use one for the frd-l09 as an example, but stick the right model in there for you) ::
Example to plug into Google to find your rollback with instructions:: site:consumer.huawei.com honor 8 frd-l09 rollback
Click to expand...

So if you've got an frd-l04 then plug that in where frd-l09 is. It'll just look on the site consumer.huawei.com just above where the various country/variant breakdowns are, like US/ZH/HU/Etc. are.
Pick the one out that is closest to what it seems you want. All the pages are in the local languages so I'm guessing the .pdf that explains what to do is in the language you'll want as well.
Good luck:: Let us know what model phone you have.
More: Contents of first "intermediate" update.app is 8 image files. I'm sure the 2nd one that is specifically your own phone's version of b162 has a lot more files in it. I've not looked for awhile but I think it's 21 or 22 files. This is a two step process, first is all the crap that comes in update.app from the rollback page (just a 100K file which sets you up in intermediate state for rollback) and 2nd you find your exactly right b162 for your model phone, and pretty much repeat the process.
Yet More: One odd thing about the Honor 8: I've not seen it on other phones is the partition layout is not really "trustworthy" unless you really have gotten to understand it. There appears to be at least 3 or 4 places you can get to that I used to think would all have to be in the recovery partition, but apparently the Honor 8 works differently, so no matter how bleak your odds seem, .. maybe not. I got to both erecovery and stock recovery and rollback while TWRP was installed and it worked just following the directions from their website.
Agreed on this thing.

Thank you very much, you saved me and my phone !!!
I made a mistake: my phone was under android m and I flashed by mistake the rollback update (to go m from n), then my honor was bricked on bootloop, no recovery, no update by dload....nothing worked....
Your solution was the right one !! again thank you very much
Interesting observation with the eRecovery (recovery2 partition). So I have TWRP installed, the system partition modified and user storage not encrypted. I was still able to to use eRecovery to connect to WiFi and download the factory image and it automatically repaired the phone to factory state. I noticed it doesn't re-lock the bootloader afterward. This seems to be the easiest method to unbrick.
Getting into eRecovery.
hi! Or extract the files? sorry for my english

Ok after the factory reset (which is peppered with mounting errors)...
failed to mount /data (invalid arguments)
unable to mount storage
When I try to flash cust.img and system.img they both fail.
I cannot check what firmware I was on before I started all this, but I believe it was the latest one. This is a FRD-04. I flashed TWRP 3.1.0.1 erecovery and I can access it and fastboot.
I have tried various different things and nothing I do can unbrick the phone. Any help would be appreciated.

have the same problem as you on my FRD-09.
I don't have this phone anymore, but the easiest way I find to restore it is using eRecovery.
At The first i wanted sorry for by not good english.
Today i unlocked bootloader and rooted my honor 8 al10(china version)
Then I wanted to change firmware version to europe.
When i used the SRKtool and choose option ""change to oeminfo and custom.bin-EU<L09-C432> "" my phone restarted and show info about damage system and recommended wipe.
Then the system stopped working. My TWRP has been deleted. My rom C00B387 is not available for download.
I downloaded C00B135 and tried:
restore system using the Volume+ , Volume- and power button from dload folder
separate boot, recovery and system.img by HuaweiUpdateExtractor and install used ADB in fastboot mode
install only TWRP
used system eRecovery repair rom using wifi, but it happened fast failed
All method not working
I have a little experience with samsung and sony. Honor 8 is my first Huawei phone
Please help me, I very need working phone
Please write to me in simple words
I hope you will help me because fastboot works

Rebranding Honor 8 FRD-AL10 to FRD-L19 is Easy
I converted two mint FRD-AL10 to FRD-L19 versions yesterday. They have since both taken OTA updates over WiFi. One is at FRDL19C432B360 and the other took an additional update to FRDL19C432B380. I am in the Western United States, the phones know they are here too, but believe they are destined for Europe. When I take a local call, a +1 automatically shows up in front of the number on the call log. When I browse to Yahoo the phone goes to the Yahoo United Kingdom and Ireland home page. The FRD-AL10 phones were both at EMUI 5.0 and Android 7.0 and still at EMUI 5.0 and Android 7.0 after being rebranded to FRD-L19 UK. Everything works including dual SIMs. There is no remnant of Chinese apps, no pinyin characters anywhere. There are absolutely no problems. You do not need to root your phone with this method and you will end up with factory new like European firmware load.

It looks like you are trying to flash a stock recovery cn.img
If you are at EMUI 5 and I think you are, use the twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img
It will decrypt the encryption. Other recovery images here cannot decrypt and you must reformat the data partion to use them with EMUI 5. Also, if you root use the SuperSU vesion available from these forums specifically for use with EMUI 5 in the file name. Search for it. Again encryption is involved.
If you can get into fastboot you can fix it. At the bottom of the fastboot screen it should say phone unlocked. If it says locked you will need to unlock the bootloader again.
Always make sure you have USB communication between fastboot and the phone. For some reason Huwaei phones will sometimes disable USB debugging with power down and power up. You need to check each time.

Rollback to EMUI 4.1 C900B300 UK
Search for EMUI 4.1_C900B300, find and use the update.app in this file
Honor%208_Rollback%20Package_FRD-L19_from%20Android%207.0%20EMUI%205.0%20to%20Android%206.0%20EMUI%204.1_C900B300_UK.rar
This is the official Huwaei FRD-L19 rollback package. It rolls your firmware back to the first UK European release of the FRD-L19. It is a full firmware load and will replace everything.
If you get this on your phone, before erecovery is complete or immediately after, your phone will begin taking OTA updates and all will be fine.
If you can get into flashboot, you should be able to get into erecovery, put dload/update.app in the root folder of your sd card, hold volume up, volume down and power throughout bootup.
If erecovery fails the oem info on your phone is not set to europe. Find and install the MT Huwaei Multi-Tool version 7 from the MT forum. Use it to change your oem info and try erecovery again.
The Multi-Tool can do much more without the need to type individual lines of adb and fastboot commands. To run, you execute one of the .bat files in a command window. You will only have two command menu language choices, Russian or English. Choose ru.bat or en.bat accordingly. Try the menu commands without your phone plugged in first.
Thanks friend. I will try id after work. Today in night i tried install rollback(al19 UK) and romC432B131-UK downloaded by hihonor.com. Install by DLOAD folder not work :/ while i pressed three button Phone switch on and stop on (HONOR ON BLUE SCREEN). Install not opened why? Next i tried install only ROM by fastboot. All files install successfull, but recovery.img not work. (maybe file is damaged?) Finally i repeat installed successfull chinese marshmallow b135.
Anyone have good download link working Al19 rom for my AL10?
Sorry for my not good English and very low experience
Hello guys,
I had some problems with my Honor 6x L21 so I tried to flash new custom ROM that I didn't like in the end. I tried to revert back and found update.app method. I somehow relocked my bootloader and now tried to install update.app which fails at 5 % and says it is not compatible.
Now, I have erecovery with me that can get nothing after connecting to wifi. No update from SD Card option available.
When I try to unlock bootloader again, it fails.
Also, when I run command 'fastboot oem get-bootinfo' the following lines do come in result:
<bootloader> unlocked
OKAY [0.009s]
Finished.
However, my phone shows Phone Relocked and FRP lock.
Any help guys?
@amannan: I have a US BLN-L24, I was able to use the dload method to roll back to Marshmallow from Nougat. I'm not sure why it sometimes fails at 5%, I think Huawei recently implemented something to cause the update to fail if you haven't passed an online verification check. So basically, no upgrading offline for some of the newer firmwares, someone correct me if I'm wrong. I think it has something to do with Nougat too.
In your case, all hope isnt lost as long as you can access eRecovery and fastboot. What you need to do is find the stock MM packages for your device. This will most likely consist of a small rollback file and a much larger firmware file. Go search Huawei's downloads section on their website until you find what you need, use your model as a reference point. There should also be a PDF file with instructions in it, read it.
For each of the 2 files you get, extract the zips, make a folder called dload on your MicroSD (not internal phone storage). In my case I had to first place the update.app file from the rollback zip into the dload folder, boot to eRecovery (hold volume up and volume down, then hold Power, let let of Power when logo appears but continue to hold the other keys). From there the file will automatically flash. Then I had to extract update.app from the large firmware zip and put in dload, repeat same process again. You should be back on MM.
If either file wont flash then go download Huawei Firmware Extractor. Use it to extract boot.img and recovery.img from the rollback zip's update.app, then boot to fastboot mode while phone is powered off. Plug in a MicroUSB charger into phone then plug other end into PC.
Then:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Make sure to install drivers for the phone first, just install HiSuite on Windows is easiest way. For ADB and fastboot, install '15 seconds adb fastboot" (Google it). If the terminal on your PC says something like "file not found", then either use the cd command (change directory) to move working directory to boot.img/recovery.img location, or move the files to C:\adb.
Once you're back up and booting you can then proceed to bootloader unlock, root, ROM flashing, etc.
Hope this helped!

Dear AnonVendetta, Thank you so much for the help. I was able to use the dload method. I read somewhere that the last firmware version needs to be updated using dload method. I had B361 before it got all messed up so tried that update and it started working.
Also, the fastboot won't flash any img file since the FRP was locked somehow.
Thank you for the help
@amannan: Glad it worked out, you must have already made progress before I posted, your response was too quick.
I do believe you cant flash anything via fastboot if the bootloader is still locked.
I've only owned my Honor 6X for about 2 weeks, I've had to do an emergency recovery several times due to various issues. This is my first Huawei but I've owned many Android devices before, and rooted/custom ROMmed most of them, so I'm just a newbie to Huawei but not Android in general. I'm getting the hang of things.
Good luck!

Yes, dload method is the only way to restore the device in such scenario. If frp is locked then condition is worse as you can not flash anything but only dload will help you. Correct package should be flashed and will succeed.
Hi guys,
so i just had my Honor 8 on Android 7 (EMUI 5.0?) rooted and unlocked but wanted to unroot and relock. I used a tutorial for that but i think i made a mistake.
Now I stuck on the honor 8 bootscreen. I can enter fastmode and the recovery but my battery is always low.
I used the rollback package but it didnt install. Also a factory reset from the stock recovery doesnt work.
I also tried a method from here where you flash the cust.img boot.img recovery.img and the system.img from the stock an then flash the Update.app via eRecovery but this also didnt work. It stucks at 5% and does nothing. I am also not able to get to the eRecovery without pluging in the usb into the pc.
Is there any possibility to save my honor? Data's all saved.
I tried it with the rollback package, the B101 and B131 i think.
Thanks,
Musti

What you can do is to try to flash firmware via TWRP.
Follow this guide (use "FRD-L09" link ofc...): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220
And after TWRP flash, you should flash this firmware (L09 link instead of L19 link of the guide) via dload folder method: FRD-L09C432B131
If you need help to find TWRP version, see my post : here
Do the method where you flash cust.img system.img etc but this time you boot into recovery and factory reset, then just boot, i do this everytime
