Phone bricked after upgrading to Oreo - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a FRD-L09C432. I wanted to try Oreo with the russian firmware, so I followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/rebranding-to-frd-l09c10-oreo-russian-t3815591
Something must have went wrong because it booted without setup nor GApps. I think the two data zips didn't flash correctly. They couldn't be dloaded because they don't have an update.app file.
I managed to install TWRP with MultiTool v8, and I tried to flash Gapps but the google account setup crashes. I tried to flash the two other zips, "update_data_full_public" flashed successfully (only a small error at the begining but I don't think it was important) and "update_full_FRD-L09_hw_ru" gave an error directly.
I rebooted to system and OEM unlock was disabled and greyed out ... I tried to factory reset in TWRP and now it won't boot, it's stuck on honor boot animation for minutes then reboot ...
I tried to reflash update.zip via TWRP but it gives an error. Also TWRP can't unmount system, I don't know if it's important.
I tried to use DC Unlocker (15€ credits) to unlock FRP but it didn't do anything ... I asked for a refund to try DC Phoenix.
I thought about flashing stock recovery via TWRP to factory reset properly but with FRP locked I'm worried to lose TWRP forever.
Now I don't know what to do. Is DC Phoenix a good solution? Which ROM must I flash? How do I rollback to Nougat? Is there any solution?
Thanks. I'm pretty lost actually :crying:

Ok I solved my problem by flashing C10B360 from TWRP and factory reset from stock recovery. If it can help someone!
The bootloader is relocked but the rom works

Maybe you can try to dload the B360 ROM if you are on the stock recovery

I will try that but don't you need a rollback package for that?

:/ Maybe try the rollback package then B130 ... I've no idea
If you have no other solution look for DC Phoenix and how to use it properly (don't reproduce my error, it costs money ?), I don't know how to help more :/ good luck!

Unbrick needed

Hi,
I need your help: I might have bricked my Mate 9 while trying to root it. Right now it makes a boot loop. I still have access to TWRP:
I already WIPED the phone with TWRP (all apart from the Systempartition) but I'm still out of luck.
I downloaded the current firmware (FULL) and extracted the update.app, copied it into a "dload" folder on my SDCARD but I get a "Software install failed" after 5% from the HUAWEI updater tool (which opens when pressing VolumeDown while booting). I tried it with bootloader unlocked and relocked.
I really hope you guys have another idea!
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
quicky
Extract update.app with huawei extractor, and flash system, recovery, boot.img with fastboot.

Thanks for the feedback. I HEARD that the new filesystem of the Mate9 renders the phone with that process. As you can see I'm a noob, I just wanted to ask if anybody was succesful with HuaweiExtractor on the Mate9
Also fastboot flashing method not working
Phone bootloap
So that means it's bricked? I just made a donation for "Funky Huawei" hoping that this solution will let me flash it back to normal. But I start running out of ideas.
Any other options?
Just to let you all know: I tried FunkyHuawei and I was able to recover my Mate9! Everything is working fine again.

You can't get into recovery or erecovery? Only fastboot? Does it say you still have the bootloader unlocked?

Extract the update.app files with the Huawei Update Extractor program. Google it
And then try to flash the system.img via fastboot in the bootloader

Nah there's still hope. I screwed up worse. I had the same problem that I couldn't get into recovery. But I had the FRP Lock and Bootloader Locked also. But what I had to do was pay 15 Euros for a program called DC Phoenix and it fixed all my problem. Not all is lost

Well you can try to use the SRK toolkit if u want
I need help too, I have a 64 gig US version. Just rooted it today and got TWRP, made a back up. Flashed 2 roms, and none would go past the boot screen so I tried to do my back up and it error'd out at the last minute. I would like to just revert everything back to stock and lock the bootloader. IS this possible? if I do the EMUI update it fails, prob cause the boot loader is locked.

i just need to know how the step by step why to get the stock recovery and system on the phone?

Help! Unable to access any Security settings after reverting to stock from RR

I am unable to enroll fingerprint or setup any passcode or pin on my lockscreen i can't even access the security tab in the settings.
I was using stock. I flashed the RR without removing OLD enrolled fingerprints. Then due to camera issues I have reverted to stock.
I used Firmware Finder to get the firmware file. I tried to flash it through dload method but it didn't worked so I extracted the UPDATE.APP and flashed stock boot,system,vendor,recovery and factory restored the phone but that didn't helped .. Anyone can please help me.
Or can someone tell me where the enrolled fingers data is stored because i have formated the system,vendor,data paratitions through twrp and after that did the fastboot flash method. No luck no success... Anyone with solutions .. ?
{SOLVED}

Most probable you did not Format data after you flashed the stock ROM. Download the fastboot of the stock ROM you wanna use, unzip it and flash it with MiFlash tool.

Nope...format data is needed (this one when you have to type ”yes”)
Even though I get this message error the phone booted the rom, weird...
So can I try flashing other roms like lineageos using this tool or do I need twrp? Could the wifi error on the other roms be from not properly formatting the folders?

Yeah, you got that error because you did not lock your bootloader, but ROM will work just fine. You can use MiFlash for stock ROMs only.
The Wi-Fi problems are usually related by flashing the custom ROM from the wrong stock firmware and vendor version. Just read the first page (OP) of the ROM you wanna flash and see what version of the stock ROM is needed (most of them ask for 12.0.3.0 version, but some ask for 12.0.2.0 or 12.0.4.0).

Say I lock the bootloader, but what if I want to unlock after? will I have to wait 7 days again?

If you already unlock. Then flash with fastboot, phone will lock again. And you can instant unlock again because your Mi Account have permission to unlock your device.

Bricked my Poco F2 Pro

Hi. Recently I've been trying to flash Xiaomi.eu. however, it didn't have success. My bootloader is unlocked, and I flashed the Chinese TWRP to flash it. However, upon flashing it I always had an error about my cache being corrupted or an odm error. However, I did manage to boot into xiaomi.eu before, but it randomly stopped working. Tried to flash stock as well, but everytime I do, it stops at the cache again and always gives me an error.
I'm fully defeated at this point and I haven't been able to boot into anything since. I've tried everything and that's why I'm here.
I hope anyone can help me.
Thank you.

I tried to flash stock ROM via MiFlash. Most likely the latest build. I will try with another USB cable now.

I've instead tried to unbrick it with XiaomiToolV2. However, I'm still getting the same error, just in a different way. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've had this multiple times without success.
