I soft brick my Mate 9. I was on Resurrection Remix O 6.0.0 Unofficial (Android 8.1. ) and my front camera and fingerprint didn't work. Phone was unlocked and rooted at the time. I was trying to go back to stock and reflash the official RR (GSI). I accidentally fastboot flash stock Oero system.img (MHA-L29C567B367 - 8.0.0.367). Phone can't pass "Set up as new phone" screen and no keyboard at all. I suspect incomplete flash. It shows "FRP lock" on fastboot screen.
What I did so far?
1. Tried to grab firmware from stock recovery, getting package failed.
2. Tried dload method with that same Oreo stock rom's update.app (MHA-L29C567B367 - 8.0.0.367).
3. Tried HWOTA8 - Replace recovery but fail due to the locks.
4. Tried HiSuite - It fail to recovery my phone.
5. Tried factory reset via eRecovery. It did reset successfully but still stuck in eRecovery bootloop.
My phone now is locked on both Phone and FRP. Any idea? I really need to use the phone. Thanks in advance.
Update: Unbrick it via FunkyHuawei eRecovery method.
Mod: Please delete this thread. Thank you.

Here's the short version:
- FRD-L14
- EMUI 5.0, but apparently a broken version somehow. The Build number says "NRD90M test-keys". Android 7.0.
- Unlocked bootloader
- FRP locked, which is apparently stopping me from re-flashing TWRP. EMUI seems to have overwritten TWRP.
The version of EMUI 5 I have is a bit messed up - possibly I did something wrong installing it, but I can't try again because of the FRP thing. I've tried various FRP techniques I found online but none work. I can't relock the bootloader either, and the EMUI recovery thing fails to recover the phone. Factory reset even fails.
Does anyone know how to unlock FRP? "OEM unlocking" in developer tools is disabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, I got this working. Here's what I found:
Cause
I flashed the B360 update.zip via TWRP, but did not apply the update_data_full zip file. Further compounding the problem, EMUI overwrote TWRP with its own recovery and when I signed into my google account it activated the Factory Reset Protection lock, so I could no longer flash TWRP.
And since I didn't apply the regional update, I had no update software and the EMUI recovery did not recognize the phone as being upgradable to any known ROM. (I used Firmware Finder and tried every single update.zip and update_data zip file.) Without TWRP I couldn't take matters into my hands apply an update myself.
Solution
The fix, finally, was to downgrade to EMUI 4 by using Huawei's downgrade package and then flashing an appropriate ROM:
Download this and follow the instructions:
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92098
Then use the update.zip referenced in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/frd-l14-users-how-to-restore-downgrade-t3537433
For the latter, I had to unzip the contents of the zip file to the "dload" directory in the device's internal storage, the power off and restart while holding volume up/down.
Then finally, I was able to clear FRP upon starting the phone, and use the OTA upgrader to get to a properly installed EMUI 5.0 build. Thanks to the huaweimate team on telegram for their assistance.
I already posted here, but i was with no pc for some weeks so couldnt answer to the thread and now its old, Im back.
Situation is like this, huawei gr5 2017 (bll l22) bricked after bad flashing and software manipulation.
Vol down + power gets me to fastboot, it says phone unlocked and FRP unlock.
Download method with vol down + vol up + power doesnt work, always stuck at 5% saying "software install failed, incompatibility with current version" or doesnt say anything at all, just stuck at 5%.
Also, when i try to wipe data/factory reset from stock revoery it says "reset failed"
So dload method doesnt work, i also tried using DCPHOENIX software which saved one of my older huawei phones but it didnt work at all this time. When i flash a twrp recovery through fastboot, it flashes succesfully but when i boot into it it just boots into the stock one, and there the restore to stock option always fails after i connect to wifi saying that "failed to reach the server" or "failed to download the firmware", something like that.
I had twrp some days ago, out of the blue it booted into it. I had stock firmware on my sd card fortunately so i tried to flash the zip and itfailed with error 6 or 7, cant remember which. Anyways that twrp instance dissapeared after a reboot and now its always stock recovery, cant install twrp (described that above already).
So, do i have any options? nothing seems to work. no recovery, no dload, no dc phoenix, no fastboot (i tried flashing boot, system images through fastboot but it denied access to those partitions) flashing, i tried sp flash tool but the honor 6x roms have no scatter file and the flash tool requires one
Help, please. Ill appreciate it
What was your EMUI version before brick? Have you tried manually booting into TWRP? After you finish flashing don't reboot. Just hold power & volume down. If not then try to load TWRP recovery. It won't install but sort of load it. I don't know the exact command. If your phone is bootloader unlocked and frp unlocked try fastboot erase. System and then user data. I had a hard brick and it was even worse. No recovery, no fastboot and no dload. Just stuck. Managed to fix it myself without DC or Phoenix. So don't lose hope.

I cant remember if it was marshmallow or nougat so it was either emui 4 or 5. Im trying it all again and it doesnt work but ill keep doing it i guess
Try flashing recovery of nougat and then manually try to boot. Or maybe try to load the recovery without installation. It has a different command but I dunno.
hi, I have pretty much the same problem, somehow wiped the 'system' through TWRP. And since then I am trying to flash TWRP to boot, but I am getting nothing. I had EMUI 8
Tried flashing stock nougat through Multi Tool but no use, it succeeds but does not boot into anything, just the stock recovery whenever I turn it on.
Whenever I flash TWRP and try to boot into recovery (Vol-up+power), it would always boot into stock recovery.
Tried booting into eRecovery, but same thing.
Tried command fastboot boot RECOVERY-V2.img, but got the problem saying 'command not allowed'
what to do.
Hello Friends,
i need help after bricked my Honor 6x. I can not flash TWRP recovery anymore. The smartphone was on EMUI 8 (India version). Now I can only go into the StockRecovery or the eRecovery. Attached is a picture of the information from the smartphone. I urgently need help.
Thank you
Can you enter fastboot? Try dload method. It works. What were you doing that caused the brick

I tested dload- methode but after 5% it failed. I don't know which Firmware i must use. For the BLN-L21 no Oreo oder Pie available. I have India Version of Oreo on my phone, then i installed Elemental Rom V2 from this forum.
What exactly did you do? To cause this brick. After flashing Elemental and Data did you run kernel? Unzip the small archive UpdateKernal and run update.bat Where did you go wrong?

I have the same problem: Honor 6x bricked and dload metod doesnt work. PHONE and FRP are locked I need help
I don't know exactly why it was. I first used the Huawei Multi Tool to see what it showed me. There he showed it to me with firmware version "System 8.0.0.046(0EFK)". After that I connected to the internet via a friend's hotspot and tried to recover everything via eRecovery, but it didn't work. Then I switched off the phone, flashed the StockRecovery again via Fastboot, set it to factory settings and rebooted it. Then again into eRecovery and there to Shutdown. Then I installed the twrp-recovery, Wipe -> Format Data (yes), Reboot to Recovery, Wipe -> Data/Cache, Dalvik Cache and then the EMUI 8 from the India version was installed again via the HuRupdater. Now I have RROS from OpenKirin on it. Everything at your own risk. All data without guarantee. I am not responsible for errors or damages on your devices.
I think i hard bricked my device. Details below
Device : FRD L02
Bootloader : Unlocked
FRP : Unlocked
In an attempt to go back to stock from OK rom, I directly flashed OtoN rollback using huru updater with oreo's twrp (view 10 oreo twrp) which is very normal for me and did 3-4 times before..Device booted with no region update files..This happened because I forgot to press Vol- button during huru update flashing for region file.
So I thought of flashing from start again using huru. Here I have done something wrong.
I thought I was in Nougat now and flashed nougat twrp 3.1.1.0-frd and used OtoN rollback package with huru and flashed.
After flashing I can't boot to OS and recovery/e-recovery.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1.0-frd again but when boot to recovery, twrp flashes for a sec and device reboots over and over.
Tried to unbrick using HMT but not worked, whatever I tried device will stuck at bootloader cant be trusted screen.
Tried dload method using sd card, but device now stucks at blue honor screen.
But I have functional fastboot. Any help will be really appreciated.
Hello,
i have a Huawei Honor 6X (BLN-L21):
Multitool picture while phone is connected via fastboot:
ibb.co/Ykk6DdP
I had LineageOS 14.1 installed on my phone but I was missing some of the EMUI features. I decided to go back to EMUI (EMUI5.0). Everything worked fine. After that I wanted to install Magisk with this tutorial: How to install Magisk (xda)
After flashing the zip with TWRP the phone wanted a password for decrypting. I entered my normal screen lock pin. After checking it was saying that the password ist correct but my files were corrupted. I had to click on "reset phone" which was starting something like "factory reset lowlevel" but the same issue appeared after that.
I decided to get the firmware BLN-L21C432B382 with the Firmware Finder and I am having trouble to install that. First I wiped with TWRP then installed stock recovery and stock erecovery but when I try to force install the stock firmware, the installation gets stuck at 5% and then skips all the way to 100% and restarts. After the reboot I can see the Honor boot animation but it restarts before the normal screen appears. I guess this is called a bootloop. Any suggestions about it?
PS: I already tried to use erecovery to download the right firmware but its telling me "getting package info failed"
