Try booting to erecocery and see if it is able to download the firmware and reboot. If not, you can try debranding but if dload doesn't work there then tou will get stuck

i retraced my steps back to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...-twrp-t3679985 since i was not careful enough the first time, everything went smoothly but always stuck on dload at 5%
i'm able to boot to erecovery and stock recovery, tried downloading/ factory reset but with no success, should i use different build??

SOLVED i unbricked my GR5 2017 BLL-L21
SOLVED
I finally managed to unbrick my GR5 2017 (Honor 6x) BLL-L21 after i lost all hope
After countless attempts to unbrick the phone i managed to go back full stock with EMUI,
All i had to do is:
> Get a GOOD sd card 8gb at least, mine was SanDisk
> Full wipe/data format in twrp
> Turn off the phone
> Now go back to your pc and unzip the update.zip file that you downloaded (make sure to download the correct file depending on your model number)
> Create dload folder in the update folder
> Put UPDATE.APP file in dload folder
> Format sd card using exFAT
> Copy dload folder to the sd card
> Put sd card inside the phone and press volume up + volume down + power at the same time
> Wait until u see Huawei/ Honor logo and release all buttons
> Now the phone will detect the package and start updating
> After update is successful the phone will reboot
Here it gets a bit tricky for me, after reboot i had this message "your phone has failed verification and may not work properly", so this is what i did:
> Shut down phone and remove sd card
> Go back to your computer and unzip this file "update_full_BLL-L21_hw_meafnaf.zip" (make sure to download the correct file for your model)
> Now create a folder and rename it "dload" and move the UPDATE.APP file from the update_full_BLL-L21_hw_meafnaf inside the dload folder
> Format sd card using exFAT
> Copy dload folder to the sd card
> Put sd card inside phone and press volume up + volume down + power at the same time
> Wait until u see Huawei/ Honor logo and release all buttons
> Now the phone will detect the package and start updating
> After update is successful the phone will reboot
> Now phone will boot properly
> setup your phone and enjoy
This worked flawlessly for my GR5 2017 BLL-L21,

Honor 8 bootloop issue!!!! (HELP!!!)

Folks,
I recently bought a Honor 8 and was trying to unlock the bootloder, install twrp and supersu by following the link below
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-t3554789
As stated in the link above, I got to the steps to install supersu. However, on following step 12, it has formatted the data and now the phone is in a bootloop(stuck on the blue screen showing HONOR label)
I'm guessing my phone will not boot up since the OS has been erased. Could someone please help me restore this phone to back to the stock firmware and steps needed to do so. I am new to Honor phones, so not sure what I need to do and steps needed. Would appreciate any help if possible??
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Once there, when asked to keep system read only? - swipe to allow modifications
3. Tap Install
4. Tap Select Storage - Select your SD card
5. Select the supersu file "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip"
6. Swipe to confirm flash
7. Ignore the multiple errors: "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
8. Go back to the main menu
9. Select Reboot to Recovery
10. When asked to keep system read only? - swiped to allow modifications (again)
11. Tap Wipe
12. Tap Format Data
13. Type YES then hit enter
14. It will format data using make_ext4fs..
15. When finished, tap Reboot System
16. Reboot back into TWRP
17. Swipe to allow modifications (You can check the box to never show this again)
18. Tap Install
19. Select storage
20. Select your SD card
21. Select the supersu file "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip"
22. Swipe to confirm flash
23. You should see NO ERRORS now when installing SuperSU
24. Wipe cache/dalvik
25. Swipe to wipe
26. Reboot system
Download the rollback and marshmallow firmware package from honors website. Rename the rollback package to "UPDATE.APP" and place it in a folder called "dload" in your micro SD card. Put the micro SD in your phone, and boot into the firmware update screen (volume up + volume down + power all at the same time). Once it's done, delete the old UPDATE.APP file from the dload folder, rename your marshmallow firmware package to "UPDATE.APP", place it in the dload folder on your micro SD card, place the micro SD in your phone, and again flash the firmware using volume up +volume down +power
Since you still have access to the SD Card via USB, you can just download your firmware, extract it and put the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on a microSD card and press all 3 buttons when starting up the phone to start installing the OS again.
Appreciate the feedback. I tried going to the below website to pick up the rollback package and the firmware( Android 6.0)
http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/search-result/index.html?keywords=Honor%208%20Firmware
My question is that is it possible to just restore it back to android nougat(7.0) in the U.S or has the 7.0 not released for the U.S markets yet?
I found the following link below for the Android 7.0(Nougat) firmware for Honor 8 but not sure if this work on the phones bought in the U.S
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L14
Appreciate your feedback on this..
Since the phone is in bootloop, I would have to use a different phone and it's SD card slot to download the firmware and then put it on the Honor 8. I'm guessing the rollback process would only apply if I wanted to go back to the Marshmellow firmware. My question though is would I be able to restore it back to Android Nougat(7.0) if possible.
I found the following link below for the Nougat(7.0) firmware. Not sure if this will work on the U.S phones. Is there a different process to restore it back to Nougat?
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=FRD-L14
You can try just getting the nougat firmware onto your micro SD, then pressing volume up + volume down + power to see if it works. Worse case scenario is that you'll get an error.
If you do get an error, your can try the rollback procedure. Once you get marshmallow running you can always just update back to nougat with OTA.
Oh yeah, you don't necessarily need another phone. Just get a micro SD card adapter and plug it into your computer, then transfer the files into the dload folder
---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------
You can use the following link for marshmallow firmware. Again, you can always update to nougat later using OTA
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/models-stock-firmware-packages-honor-8-t3501942
thanks for the info..just another clarification. The nougat firmware I found online was a zip file that included 3 files(attached snapshot) . I noticed one of the files is the UPDATE.APP.
My question is on creating the new dload folder do I need to remove the other two files or just copy all of 3 files in the dload folder before I try to restore the phone back.. Sorry if it's a straight-forward question, but I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.
Much thanks...
Just the UPDATE.APP
What are the other 2 files? Just curious
there is a folder called : META-INF which has some files in it and also a file called: full_mainpkg.tag which is only a 1KB file so maybe that's inconsequential.
Did you try out the procedure yet? The META-INF folder should not be necessary. You can always try the method with and without the folder included if you really need to.
I did...it did do the update following the steps you mentioned and it seems everything went fine as far as the update is concerned. I didn't get any errors, but once the phone rebooted it is still stuck on the blue screen with the Honor logo on it
Have you tried the rollback procedure as well?
---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------
If neither procedure worked, you can try another procedure which involves extracting SYSTEM.IMG, BOOT.IMG, RECOVERY.IMG, and CUST.IMG from the UPDATE.APP file, then flashing all of them through fastboot, and finally preforming the rollback procedure again.
was finally able to get the phone to reboot and load the firmware. It does seem that there is some issue with the keyboard now as it's only showing OK google as the keyboard so I don't have a keyboard anymore. Not sure how to go around this. Also the phone seems a little laggy and unresponsive at times which wasn't happening earlier. I'm thinking of trying the rollback method to see if that helps or improves the performance of the phone. Let me know of you have any suggestions. Thanks again for your help...
That's a known issue with the keyboard. For some reason it does not function correctly after a factory reset. The rollback should fix everything. Once you are back on marshmallow, just update back to nougat (if you want to) through OTA system update.
Edit: it might actually be easier to just perform a factory reset on the nougat firmware. I'm assuming your data was wiped through the procedure anyway, right?
I can do the rollback but I just realized that I have the 64GB version which is the FRD-L14

I'm not sure if there is a FRD-L14(64GB) variant of the MM firmware available anywhere. If so, I'm not aware of the link of the site to find it. Secondly, if I do install the FRD-L04(32GB) variant of the MM firmware would that create problems for the phone in upgrading and later trying to root and install custom ROM etc.
Much Thanks
The nougat firmware your flashed earlier, was it the L14 firmware? I would not flash a L04 firmware on a L14. Instead, you can probably flash the L14 nougat firmware (unless you already did) and then perform a factory reset
EDIT: Refer to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/frd-l14-users-how-to-restore-downgrade-t3537433
The OP uploaded the correct L14 firmware files. Remember to first flash the rollback package, then the firmware.
the firmware I flashed earlier was the L14 firmware. I went to the link you mentioned above in your post. It's a little confusing as far as the exact steps that need to be followed as people seem to be adding/modifying steps. Would help if I could get a clear step process on how/what to follow.
Also, is it okay to flash the rollback package and then flash the nougat firmware package for L14 if I am currently on nougat(not fully functioning as mentioned in the posts above).
This link below from your reference thread has a few L14 firmware's. I had earlier picked up the first one from the list. Not sure if that's the correct one to flash..

Thanks again...
The rollback package is only used if you're downgrading from nougat to marshmallow. Otherwise, you don't need it. Since you were having some issues after flashing the nougat firmware, I would recommend that you rollback, and then update to nougat afterwards. Here's a step by step:
1. Get an micro SD card. Create a folder on it called "dload"
2. Download the F14 rollback package from the following link:
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92098&version=360320&siteCode=us-h
Extract the UPDATE.APP file, and place it into your dload folder. Pace the micro sd into your phone
3. With the phone shut off, press volume up + volume down + power to flash the UPDATE.APP. Once it's done, shut down your phone and remove the sd card
4. Download the F14 Marshmallow firmware from the following link:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1201/g88/v66294/f1/full/update.zip
Extract the UPDATE.APP, and replace the old UPDATE.APP in the dload folder with the new one you just downloaded.
5. Place the micro sd into your phone. Repeat the button combination to flash it. Once it's done, shut down your phone.
6. Press volume up + power to boot into system recovery. Wipe the phone's data from this screen.
7. Boot into the phone. Go to settings -> About
Check to see if the model# etc is correct. If it is not, complete step 8. Otherwise go to step 9:
8. Download the following file:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...94/f1/full/hw/usa/update_data_full_hw_usa.zip
Extract the UPDATE.APP, place it in the dload folder, and flash it.
9. Boot into the phone. If you want to update to nougat, do the following:
Go to your dialer, and type *#*#2432546#*#*
This will force your phone to check for updates.
Then go to Settings -> Updater to update to nougat
I did follow your steps, but my keyboard has now vanished when the set up screen appears. It only shows google voice and I'm having trouble setting up my phone. Has anyone had the same problem. What can I do to get my keyboard back?
Note: my phone is unrooted. Not sure if that makes a difference

[GUIDE][NOUGAT]How to go back from Custom Rom to EMUI

Here's a guide for how to go back from a Custom Rom (fe. RROS) back to EMUI. I went through the same process successfully.
IMPORTANT: This is ONLY for Nougat!! You can neither rollback from Project Treble Rom using this guide nor from any other Oreo Rom in the future.
1. Download the file for your device from the following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892 and unpack the rar file.
2. You'll get a dload folder. Copy the entire folder to the root of your SD card.
3. Power off your phone and boot it into dload (Volume down + Volume up + Power)
4. After it finished installing this first file, interrupt the startup and boot into recovery (hold Volume up + Power until it forcibly reboots).
5. Do a factory reset and wipe cache.
6. Remove the SD card from the phone and do the following steps on your PC (you can let the phone sit in Recovery while doing that):
6a. Go into /dload/ folder of the SD card and remove update.app.
6b. Go into the other folder in /dload/ and move its .app file into /dload/
6c. Rename this .app file into update.app
6d. Eject the SD card from your PC and insert it in your phone again.
7. Hold Volume down and Volume up while tapping Reboot.
8. It should start the second installation in dload mode, let it install, reboot and you're done

Hello, the downloadlinks from the linked thread are down, is there any other way to get the firmware files?

You should be able to get the files of any firmware. Probably you're even able to go back from an Oreo custom rom to EMUI 8 but I haven't tested that. However I don't recommend installing firmware files from a different Android version than the one of your current custom rom.
Edit: First file to install is the firmware, second is vendor (Nougat).
Doing it on Oreo, second step might not be necessary since it's Project Treble.
Also, as I said, I'm NOT sure if this works exactly in that way on Oreo.

One more question: the oldest version I can get using this firmware finder app is B160. In the thread you linked, B130 was mentioned. Does it make any difference when im on RROS 5.8.5 currently and want to go back?
Edit: I was searching firmwares for STF-L09S and not STF-L09 but I still wonder if it makes any difference which version I use for the dload method as long as its Nougat

It most likely won't make a difference which Nougat version you install. The only thing is that there are several versions where capacitive buttons and flashlight breaks when unlocking the bootloader or/and rooting it. Same with Oreo firmwares but for Oreo there is a fix.
And about the S version, I'm sorry I don't know the difference myself. :/ I actually just made this guide because I wanted to help others with my way of going back to Stock as I didn't find any guides specifically on that when I did it myself.
