what i can do now? thanks

Which official version you were on last? What else did you do?
It shows partition error which means you must have cross flashed something wrong.

You said you were able to dload. May be you flashed TWRP after that. Flash Stock recovery and try dload rollback package.

Ok...Through TWRP, use Hurupdater and flash all three files you were on last. It will work.

If i'm not able to use the emui (because with this limitation isn't a smartphone but a phone?) i can flash a custom rom that not required the root? Thanks

Now you can use dload roll back package. Go back to MM and again upgrade to Nougat.

hi, I've unlock the bootloader on my Huawei mate 8 nxtl29c432. After the reboot the only screen on my phone is
Error mode please update system again
Error!
Func NO 11 recovery image
Error no 2 load failed!
What I can do?! I can't enter in fastboot mode only this screen!!

Looks like you are just playing around. You said all working but few app. Now you landed in error mode.
Well. let the battery dry down totally and switch off.
Then connect your phone to usb pressing vol- button n you will enter fastboot. Rest i leave it upto you to flash.

[Q] Problem flashing CWM - MT7-L09

I've got a Mate7 (MT7-L09) that I bought used, from the look of it, it's been previously unlocked (which is good, since I've been unable to get an unlock code from Huawei for it), and is running the latest L09 factory rom (See attached screen shot, yep, says unlocked.)
Unfortunately, when I try to flash CWM, I get the following:
[email protected]:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools$ sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery_h60.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9386 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.790s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image verification error)
finished. total time: 1.795s
Attempting to flash the stock recovery works just fine. I've downloaded a couple of different copies of CWM and they all fail with the same error. I've also tried under Windows with the same error.
I've also tried flashing the factory image from the SD card to return the phone to 'stock' before again trying to flash CWM, this also did not fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is actually a recovery for the HAM7, not the Honor6/P7. Recovery_h60.img is just what the recovery was initially called (check the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...custom-recovery-tool-mt7-l10-l10-mt7-t3022424). I got the CWM file from that thread.
I've also tried the updated version posted in the same thread (MT7_CWM_CN_EN.img) with the same results.
sudo ./fastboot flash recovery MT7_CWM_CN_EN.img

Finally, I have the latest adb/fastboot from the latest android SDK (for linux). As I mentioned, I also tried it under Windows with the included adb/fastboot with no differences.

Purchased from Swappa, device works perfectly besides not being able to flash recovery.
I've been able to put the stock Huawei firmware on an SD card and flash that. (127)
I suppose you could be correct, maybe there's something wrong with the device, but that seems unlikely given that everything else works. One thing I'm thinking is that the phone is not actually unlocked (even though it says it is on the recovery screen). Wish I could get an unlock code for this thing to try re-locking and unlocking it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I've tried using the tools, and the code generated ends up not working on the Huawei web site. (See attached). Additionally, I've tried requesting the code from Huawei, and they say that unlocking is not available for the L09
From Huawei:
Huawei Dear user:
Hello, Thank you for using Huawei's products. MT7-L09 is currently not supported by the application unlock code if you want to brush Root or third-party systems, you can go online to search to see if there is a corresponding method. After the phone Root, though not affect the warranty, but if it is due to appear Root performance was a result of failure or system problems may affect your warranty love machine, specifically whether the warranty is to be detected by the service network, then you careful consideration! THX!

Thanks again for your help, just wanted others to see the process incase they were encountering similar problems.

Thanks again for the ideas, but that root method looks a bit sketchy (malware etc). I guess I'll just leave things 'as-is' for now, hopefully I'll be able to figure out the whole lock/relock thing one day!

Sounds like your boot loader is still locked or has be relocked again. That's the error you get when boot loader is locked and fast boot can't flash to the partition. Hence the "remote failure" error you're getting.

Regardless how long you think you may have "vroot" on tour device , there's no telling what type of malware will remain hidden on it. Or what its communicating back to where ever

Bricked my Honor 6 H60-L04 Indian variant while trying to install .zip files.

I recently upgraded my phone to EMUI 2.3 to EMUI 3.1 (Android lollipop 5.1), and installed CWM and rooted it. Two days ago I have downloaded cerebus app from Rom manager app and it installed by rebooting into recovery. Then a couple of minutes after rebooting the phone keep on crashing and shutting down randomly and when I tried to reboot it won't reboot but stuck for sometime at the Honor logo and since then I've tried every possible flashing and resetting I found here on XDA.
I still have access to fastboot and that is how I am able to flash ROM s and when I am trying to use the three button method it is stopping at 90 %. I couldn't even access it if my phone is not connected to my PC.
Now I've exhausted all the procedures in here and some other sites.
Somebody please suggest me something, help me.
Thank you.
Follow these steps to get it back to stock:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
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.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
Thanks Brother.

I have the same problem with a H60-L12.
I noticed, that I get that error when I try to flash a boot.img from a different EMUI version pack.
In my case, the phone had EMUI3.0 and I can write any of the EMUI3.0 boot.img's, but cannot write a boot.img from an EMUI 3.1 or EMUI4.0 update.app

which is the latest stock firmware for Honor 6 H60-L04.
I have tried to force update with the thee button method and it worked (completed 100%)but unfortunately the phone is now in bootloop. This definitely made the phone a little better but once it got to the EMUI update screen its restarting again.
Thanks again man I though nobody would reply for this. its been so long since ive posted this.

When you flashed manually, did you used the same IMG files from the last installed ROM?
You can´t extract and flash IMG files of a LP ROM in a last installed MM ROM and vice versa.

bro i was trying to help another person that was solution according to me for him
Sry if it looks like question...

Help!!! Is my Honor 8 bricked??

I'm in a really bad position right now. I flashed TWRP on my phone to flash stock recovery on my phone. I attempted to wipe everything before I flashed something, but it gave me errors that it failed to mount Cust, Product, Vendor, and Device. I was able to get rid of the Cust error, but the other three remained. Now my phone does not boot into anything. I tried flashing stock and it did nothing.
I just tried following this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70158202&postcount=5
I was able to extract everything, but when I tried to unbrick the phone I got some errors.

As you can see, it failed to both write to cust and system. Due to this I still cannot boot into anything other than TWRP and Fastboot mode. Not the operating system (EMUI), not Huawei eRecovery.
Please help me...is my phone bricked for good, or can I fix this?
Quick update: I am able to reach Huawei eRecovery. However, if I try to download the latest version and recovery, it ultimately ends up at "Getting package info failed". Maybe I can do something with eRecovery?
Just to recap: I can access fastboot mode, TWRP, and eRecovery. I can not access the OS.

So youre using nougat, and you flash MM images??
Try this, find your rollback package, donload and put updated.app in dload folder(create new one in sdcard)
Let it updates with 3 button pushed.
Find your full firmware package, download it than you need to replace the updates.app in dload folder with full firmware one.
Let it updates with 3 buttons pushed also.
You'll loose twrp and bootloader locked again
I am also faced same problem. Just follow my steps
1.grab stock recovery.img form stock firmware by extracting update.app in Huawei update extrator .
2.flash it in fast boot.
3.switch off ur device.
4. Copy stock update.app to SD/dload.
5.then force update by all three buttons
Boom it works for me :good:

It worked!!! To be specific, I followed faizalotai's guide because I thought that updating the rollback package would fix it, but VenuGopalu's guide was very similar. I'm now running EMUI 4.1 without any problems. Apparently I don't have the update to EMUI 5 yet, but I'm sure I'll be getting that soon. Thank you so much, guys!

Make sure your device is unlocked bootloader

i (think I) killed my Honor 8

I rooted my Honor 8 yesterday and it was working fine, I went to install BusyBox, and accidentally installed SuperSU, and now I couldn't pass the SafetyNet checks, even with Magisk installed. I used TWRP to wipe my device, and went to install the backup. Wouldn't you know, the backup I made was no good.
I'm able to get into TWRP and eRecovery, but since I unlocked the bootloader (and no longer have access to the code), i can't use eRecovery.
anyone want to earn a nice hug for helping me figure this out?
I've been trying to flash the BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY and SYSTEM IMG files I extracted from Update.APP. The first 3 flashed fine, but System is too large.
