H6 how to flash ROM if recovery, 3 button method don't work - Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I understand probably not very many people still use Honor 6 these days but maybe somone might be able to help. I got it second hand with official B380 ROM (Android 4.4.2), tried upgrading to B521 (A5.1.1) which didn't finish and caused bootloop. It's L60-H04 version (EU distribution).
the problem: the phone is soft bricked (stuck in bootloop), I can't get to recovery mode, and the three button method with a full ROM on SD card doesn't work either (upgrade either doesn't start at all or gets stuck before finishing); I can get to fastboot mode but flashing doesn't work either, I get the "remote command not allowed" method both when manually using fastboot and typing all the commands and when using Huawei multitool. I assume this means the bootloader is locked. (Although when I check bootloader status it says unlocked, however I've read this might happen but in reality it could still be locked).
I assume it means both boot and recovery are damaged, so flashing (fastboot, adb) seems to be the only option. Unfortunately, the phone is second hand so I have no documentation, don't know the imei and serial number to request the bootloader unlock code.
So, is there any other way to get the code? Or does anyone have any other suggestion how to unbrick? Any help is appreciated.
SOLVED - solved by using paid tools DC-Phoenix and HCU-client

How can i root (unlock Bootloader) my Mate 9 without letting Huawei know?

Because i rooted all my phones so far, i also want to root my new Huawei Mate 9 to get all advantages and full access.
But how can i unlock my bootloader without requesting an unlock-code from Huawei and being on a black-list?
Is there a way to get rid of this?
Do one of these three solutions wok for Mate 9?

This method is working securly?
My Build-Number is "MHA-L09C432..." but here it says only MHA-L09B, it could work still?
And only read bootloader code is available: is that the code i am normally getting from Huawei? Or what is that?

Not sure, you can always shoot them an email asking or use their chat when they are online. There may be other unlocking services floating around, you may have to google them.

Read bootloadercode is fine, save it in a textfile and use fastboot oem unlock xxxx (where xxxx is your bootloader unlock code) be sure usb debugging and oem unlock are activated before using fastboot
After downloading the DC Android app and investing about 4€, the bootloader could be unlocled without problems and without Huawei!
But resetting phone (after Bootloader unlocking) failed and EMUI is not loading any more...
I try to flash the original firmware and hope to solve this problem with that... Downloading EMUI via eRecovery also failed because of verification problems...

Try to do factory reset again from stock recovery,and wipe cache.
Hold volume up + power till you see the logo and release power while keeping volume up.
By the way i hate dc unlocker,more problems than fixing lol

I solved the Problem!
I only had to re-lock and then unlock my bootloader again via fastboot and it's working now!
But there are other problems:
When i activate developer options and try to open it, the settings are always crashing...
The same happens when i try to make a factory reset within the storage settings...
When i connect my phone to a PC while in TWRP, there are only some folders with cryptic numbers and i am not able to copy files to my phone (like superuser)...
What can cause this strange behavior?
And why is there no HiCare App and no update menu available? How can that be reactivated?
Problems solved using FunkyHuawei!
Now everything seems to work correctly (except of backing up via TWRP)...
For others who have the same problems with rooting their Huawei Mate 9, here is a little Tutorial:
How to unlock the bootloader without Huawei
download and install "DC Huawei Bootloader Codes" (from dc-unlocker) from playstore
open the app and klick on "DC-unlocker account"
pay the about 4€ via playstore (username and password is sent via email to the given address)
download and run the DC-Unlocker client (from dc-unlocker.com)
follow instructions from website (https://www.dc-unlocker.com/huawei-id-unlock)
unlock-code should be shown after following all instructions
shutdown phone
hold volume-down-key and connect the phone via USB to a PC (release key when bootloader appears)
run fastboot-command "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxx" (x = your unlock code)
confirm message on screen
system performs factory reset
bootloader should now be unlocked! (can be seen in bootloader)
if something not working try to lock ("fastboot oem relock xxxxxxxxxxx") and unlock the bootloader again
or do a factory reset and wipe cache via recovery
if nothing solves the problem buy a FunkyHuawei account (15$/month) and make a clean re-installation of the firmware like discribed there (https://funkyhuawei.club/instructions)
How to install TWRP recovery
shutdown phone
hold volume-down-key and connect the phone via USB to a PC (release key when bootloader appears)
flash recovery via fastboot (recovery should be in same folder as fastboot.exe) ("fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx.img") (x = downloaded version)
type "fastboot reboot"
leave the USB cable connected to PC
when phone booted hold volume-up, volume-down and power key
release power key after vibration
release volume keys after Huawei-logo disappears
TWRP should start!
How to root phone

Is this method possible without involving FunkyHuawei?
Are there any problems with losing functionality after this is complete? Heard reports of the software update setting going away, file manager missing, themes not working, etc.

I don't think so, because i had to re-flash the whole firmware to cure the errors and i think, until now, there is no other method to flash a firmware without using the Huawei eRecovery (modified with FunkyHuawei)...
No, after the clean setup with FunkyHuawei everything works fine for me, without any errors! It works like before, allthough the Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted

Challenging Situation (Stumped)

So a friend gave me his X2 GEM 703L. It is stuck on a boot loop, and the bootloader is locked. I can get adb to read the phone imei and what not, but i can't flash anything (probably becuase the bootloader is locked). I figured if i were to just update it to an official rom, it should work. However, when i put one of the official roms on the sd card >dload> update.app the phone doesn't respond. I tried the Vol u/d + power button to see if it would work, but instead it hangs at the boot screen and never tried to update. What is the next step? I tried to use DC unlocker but it is picking the phone up as Huawei phone in fastboot mode, with no choice of reading the bootloader. I cannot get he product ID as the phone doesn't boot.
Questions?
Am i trying to manual update the wrong official rom and thats why the phone isn't reading it?
Is there ANY other way of finding the bootloader code that doesn't require the product ID?
My laptop is reading the phone as ADB Sooner.
EMUI recovery fails when i try to do it over wifi.
Can anyone help me with the next step please, as i am completely stumped?
Update:
The error codes i have are Func NO : 10 (boot image) and Error No : 1 (security verify failed)

Plug the phone into the computer with the USB Cable while it's turned off. Turn it on while holding in volume down and it should boot into the bootloader. Then you should be able to fastboot flash the system.img from the rom he was on if it lets you. If it won't let you then I recommend unlocking the bootloader first by using DC Unlocker. Make sure you're using the DC Unlocker from their site and make sure you change it from Huawei Modems at the top to Huawei Phones.

unresponsive screen after flash/conversion

Hello,
My touch screen doesn't work anymore after I changed my oeminfo + try to flash different FW. The phone doesn't boot anymore, still I can flash it with fastoot. I flashed stock recovery + Twrp, I can boot them but the touch screen doesn't work anymore...
Last FW I flashed was Nougat...
Hello all,
I have this exact problem. Can someone please help ?
Edit : Just to clarify.
I recently got an update OTA L29C432B330. I was surprised since I haven't seen this number anywhere. So I decided to downgrade my phone to FW L29C432B1912 following some recommendations .
During the process I had to copy dload folder with an update.app file to my SD card and to reboot using volume keys.
Since then I have the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted screen" and right after I get the "Huawei eRecovery" screen. But remember, my screen is unresponsive.
I am able to access fastboot and eRecovery
I can flash TWRP or Stock recovery
BUT
I can't go through TRWP since the screen won't respond
I can't choose any wifi in eRecovery to download a recovery
I tried almost everything and I looked many guides but none mention the unresponsive screen and I don't know how to access the sd card to put any dload folder.
I tried SRKToolHuawei / DC Phoenix / rayglobe_knife and used those updates to extract the files :
L29C432B180
L29C432B192
L29C432B120
None seems to work.
btw my phone version is NXT-DL00
Hope someone can give me some advice.
me too what to do you found a solution i was on b581 and flash wrong firmware with dc flasher
No answer till now. I hope some dev could help
I'm having same problem, did you guys get any solution?
douyi
6 months later I finally found a solution. It took me a while because I had to find a trick to access the bootloader screen.
What I learned :
- If you have acces to the bootloader then can use tools (like skrtools) and fastboot commands
- if you have tried everything before and it doesn't work then you have use DC Phoenix.
Hope this helps you.

Brick - Fastboot not working

Hi all,
I bricked my device. I was doing a rollback from 380, the rollback package went fine than I used dload to install 131 , it went to 55% then an error occured - the phone was supposed to reboot but nothing happened. The phone does not respond to any combinations of buttons and I can't manage to wake it up in any way. Does anyone have this issue? Many thanks
me too, but after many methods i found the bootloader locked even if show unlocked, and i use "HCU Client" and spend 4$ to show me new bootloader unlock code ... and after that I unlocked bootloader and flash "Boot, Recovery, System, Cust"
But will I able to do anything / unlock the bootloader if the phone is not reacting to anything? It is not seen by the computer or does not wake up to any button combinations?

HCU can't see my device unfortunately
Ok. My phone was repaired under warranty. They changed the motherboard as well as the screen. It went well after all...

[Solved] Possibly bricked, eRecovery not working

I wanted to flash a ROM, so I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP successfully. Then I downloaded the ROM, factory reset, format data, and installed the ROM. When the phone booted, it showed a black screen, and only the hardware buttons worked. I could lock the phone, and if I pressed the power button, it would "light up" the screen, but still black. Holding the power button gave me the power menu from the ROM I flashed (advanced boot options).
I did another factory reset and flashed the ROM again, and from thereon out, it never made it to the lock screen again.
I have attempted the eRecovery function, but it doesn't fix the issue either. The firmware downloads and is installed, but then it just boot loops for a couple times, then goes back to the screen suggesting a recovery operation.
Is this permanent now, or can it can still be salvaged?
Huawei Mate 9
Version: MHA-L29C567B190
*Edit:
The ROM I attempted to install was ROM-Aur-v1.5.
I had no ROM installed previously; phone was stock.
I did not manipulate the OEM info; all I did was unlock the bootloader with the unlock code I was given by the Huawei online site.
Solution:
Apparently, unlocking the bootloader several times seems to have solved the issue.
Once again, thanks to everyone who helped me out with this.
Which rom did you install.
What was the rom, which was installed before?
Did you change branding via manipulating oem info?

Thank you for your response. However, I tried it and it didn't work for me. I downloaded the app, checked the firmware was available, registered the update, changed my router DNS, and then attempted the eRecovery. It downloaded the package then installed it, but the same problem continues.

How would I go about doing that? I can't take the phone past the boot logo screen; it just boot loops then goes to the eRecovery screen. And when I try that recovery method, it only gives me the option to download latest version over WiFi and install it. Which does not fix the problem.

I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but somehow it appears my phone is now working again. I did not rebrand nor update it. I simply unlocked the bootloader, AGAIN (which is what confuses me since I tried it before and it didn't work, at all). Regardless, I am not complaining!
I am not marking this thread as solved yet, just in case, but I will do so later on in the day if the phone continues working as before.
I want to thank all of you for your time and input, I really appreciate it.
Also, I'm never trying to flash anything on this phone again; I have learned my lesson. :/

Unfortunately, I do not remember the exact process I performed in order to unlock the bootloader the final time.
I remember I had to play a lot back and forth with adb and fastboot. Have you checked if fastboot recognizes your phone?
I believe that what I did was start from the very beginning; installing a recovery (I used TWRP). If fastboot recognizes your phone, and you are able to install a recovery, from there I'm pretty sure adb will recognize your phone and then you can unlock the bootloader.
I would recommend not trying anything fancy. Only recovery and bootloader.
I hope this answers your question and helps you out. Best of luck.

Thanks for responding! I'm still at a loss two hours later.
Unfortunately USB debugging got turned off somewhere along the way, so ADB and fastboot aren't recognizing my phone. I can still access TWRP, but when I try adb sideload in TWRP is just says it's starting but keeps loading and nothing comes up and I get a message on my computer that says "the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it"

Yeah, the ADB sideload problem also happened to me. Eventually gave up on that.
I hope I'm allow to post links.
But here is a link to something I remember using.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/android-wont-connect-windows-adb-fix-it-three-steps/
Using those tools mentioned in that post helped me out. I had to do a lot of experimenting with that as well. Every time I connected and disconnected my phone from my computer, I checked which were the references that needed deleting, then deleted them. It was tedious, but I'm not expert, so maybe I took the long way.
Maybe try using those tools?
