Stuck with bootloader/eRecovery

Some context:
My MHA-L29C432B138 with TWRP got an OTA update on the phone itself, and I wanted to update (it wanted me to update to B182).
Since I had TWRP replacing the stock recovery I could not flash it through the normal way, so I went ahead to replace TWRP with the stock recovery so I could update.
I was unable to flash the stock recovery since I had no access to flashing in fastboot (FRP Lock, PHONE Unlocked, OEM unlocking option greyed out in developer settings), so I attempted to relock so I could unlock again, hoping that would solve my issue (fastboot oem relock KEY).
By doing this my phone went into a reset, now I'm stuck at FRP Lock, PHONE Relocked, and I can only access the bootloader and eRecovery.
eRecovery is attempting to download updates but fails every time, and I can't use HiSuite to do a system recovery neither (says my device is not supported).
So this is where I'm stuck, any help would be nice!

Try to unlock after this.
This does low-level format.
My device: Mate 9 supersu B190 Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)

Everything in fastboot (flashing, locking, unlocking) was unavailable, eRecovery was not working, HiSuite said my device was not supported, and dload didn't work neither (tried 3 different firmware versions).
After spending 1-2 hours on Telegram with others I ended up using funkyhuawei with eRecovery, only thing that worked for me.
Last time I buy a Huawei device for sure, their own services don't even work (eRecovery, HiSuite).

As I said here, for your case the patched HiSuite method would have worked. But it's too late now, you paid, I was in holidays.. I know it's a shame that HiSuite says unsupported or erecovery not working but you could have made your phone compatible by writing some text in a file and using Lucx's script instead of paying funkyhuawei, their service never worked for me.

honor 8 bricked bootloop

Hi, I have a honor 8 that bootloops I can only access to fastboot not in bootloader or recovery. Bootloader is locked, i can't flash anything and i can't unlock it because I don't have the Product ID. The dload and three fingers method doesn't work. What can I try to unbrick it? I can't even turn it off.

Which number of firmware you tried via dload??
Which firmware number you were on before issue??

When you say that the dload method doesn't work, what do you get when you try it ? You have to flash the proper firmware for your phone, otherwise it will deny it, you can maybe use a rollback package.

Try the Huawei tool ... U can fix it easily and you can play around don't panic it's the first thing ...

Maybe you are doing it wrong. As long as you have a stock boot.img and a stock recovery you should be able to use this method.

If you mean Hisuite I already tried it. my PC detects the phone and hisuite launches by itself but then doesn't detect any phones. when I try the rescue tool "resuce mode enter..." appears on the screen but then hisuite says that the phone isn't compatible with the rescue mode.

Alright I think this is a good point , now that you can use the dload method you need to know under which EMUI version you were because the phone won't accept a firmware that is lower or to high compared to your actual EMUI version.
What I did when I was in your case is flashing a rollback package downloaded from honor official site and then flash an old EMUI which is under Android 6.x.
After a few tries you can make it, I hope I've been clear, English isn't my native language

Thanks a lot for your help but I don't really know how but while I was trying to go back to the erecovery menu the phone just boot up and it worked. I did a factory reset because the phone was a bit laggy and now it works.

Lol everything's alright then

Ok here i go ... Open the Huawei tool ... And follow steps to install TWRP ...turn of the phone , once it's off hold the volume button down then connect the phone to the PC that would take to some type of fastboot ! Flash recovery the 2 option .... Reboot into TWRP .. from the Huawei tool u would see and option of stock i think there u can copy the recovery OEM info system and boot option flash them all one by one .... Reboot the phone ... And you would be redirected to recovery from WiFi and now it would work since u flash the OEM info now the phone knows what to look for u won't get the getting info failed ... And that's it just makes sure u have a good stable WiFi connection ...
And like a said the more calm and relax u do these the better the first time I screw the phone I almost get a heart atack :crying: it's easy

Unable to get Product ID - Honor 8

My Honor 8 broke after it downloaded and installed the very first update. Since the failed 'update' I am NOT able to access Android at all. The phone was stuck on the Huawei eRecovery screen which fails to connect via wi-fi and is unable to connect or retrieve any information from the server to update and repair the phone. I was able to use a 'roll-back' package and install the stock firmware (FRD-AL10), but since I have done the roll-back and restored the stock firmware the phone boots to the first screen where you select your 'Region', then the 'Language', WiFi connection, Agree to the Terms & Conditions, then skip the following steps for Cloud and something else - after all this it goes back to the 'REGION' selection screen, then again the Language selection screen and so on - it just loops and never boots into Android.
Thus I am unable to get the Product ID, the unlock code, etc.
The phone is still locked and UNrooted as all the other solutions rely on the phone being UNlocked and Rooted - but since I DON'T have access to Android I cannot do anything with the phone.
Can someone help me to retrieve the Product ID from an essentially 'DEAD' Honor 8 phone??

I have followed this 'dload' process to load the stock 'FRD-AL10 - ...C00B135' onto my Honor 8, it completes successfully then the phone reboots to where I have to select the Region, then Language, then WiFi, then agree to the Agreement, etc.. then the phone 'loops' back to the Region, Language, WiFi, selection and everything from start.
Is there a way to get past this 'loop' to the point where the phone actually boots into Android?? I cannot access the Product ID, unlock or root the phone.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]

"Your device has failed verification..." after Firmware Finder update [SOLVED]
Hello to everyone!!
I have a problem with my Honor 8, it is the FRD-L09 model firmware B394.
I installed Firmware Finder from Playstore and tried to downloaded the B402 version, it downloaded a lot of packages ota and then tried to install the update without success.
After that, when I turn on the phone, there is this message. If I push the power button the phone starts.
I don't know if it can be useful but if I go into fastboot mode the phone says: phone unlocked and frp locked, but I haven't unlock the bootloader. The phone is new, purchase from the honor site.
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT: I was able to resolve the problem with the rollback guide of huawei, flashing MM via dload!!

When you update with FF, I recommend to use the change DNS thing. Just for the future.

You can try to reinstall EMUI on it. There is a guide called "back to emui from custom roms", which requires the openkirin twrp, though. Anyway, did you check that you have firmware access with IMEI?

Yes, I checked it before start the update
EDIT: Can I use the restore option into Hisuite?

When using either option, in System Update press the 3dot menu and select full package. This will download one large update rather than the multiple OTA files.

Typically you get this problem when you install an update without locking the bootloader.. This happened with me couple of weeks back.. I think happens, cos during the process of the update the bootloader gets locked, but it doesnt come up on the fastboot (donno why)
I just unlocked the bootloader using the OEM code and voila it worked... I was able to get ride of this message as well as root the phone.. Do try and let me know!

have you asked OEM code from huawei site?

No Setup Wizard after reflashing, factory reset

I've bricked my phone while trying to roll back from Oreo update, then used DC Unlocker to unbrick my phone and return everything to normal (including IMEI, SN...) but I don't have initial phone setup after factory reset (first boot). Do you have any suggestions?

I had been in the same situation as you are to use DC Phoenix to unbrick my phone. If you have successfully boot to nougat (emui 5) then follow these steps;
1. Unlock bootloader,
2. install TWRP
3. Rebrand your device to your original brand
4. install the rollback package by dload method
5. install the OTA updates as received.
Your phone will be back to normal. It worked well for me.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I don't think that you understand the problem that I'm having. I have returned everything back to normal with those same steps that you wrote. The only problem that I have now is the initial setup wizard app. It doesn't start when I factory reset the phone (you know that screen for logging into google account, connecting to wifi, etc...). I was on marshmallow, then I updated to Nougat via official OTA.

Yes i understand your problem, so insiting on rebranding your device to your brand again. Means if your phone originally is FRD-L02C675 (e.g.) then rebrand to that again and then follow dload method. After installing via dload method do factory reset. This will help you solve the problem and you will have normal startup with initial setup.

But I did that already. My device model is c432, and I managed to install russian firmware without rebranding. When I used dc phoenix and then flashed via dload I didnt have to rebrand because my device was slready c432.

Then i am not sure what could be troubling your phone to run the setup wizard. May some other member could help you to resolve this.
Are you able to login to google services?

Yes, Im able to login and use my phone normally

you may have installed the firmware badly, before installing it do a wipe of the data partition from the twrp, restart it in recovery and try to install the firmware again..

Can't access ProjectMenu to get DC Unlocker code

Hi everybody,
I was recently trying to update my phone so I did this by wiping the partitions and flashing the latest OS using HWOTA. I kinda messed this up and tried to fix it and basically dug myself a massive hole trying to fix a minor mistake.
Eventually I made the mistake of factory resetting it. Now I am at a stage where I have no TWRP and my bootloader shows its unlocked (shows Phone unlocked and "oem get-bootinfo" shows unlocked) but does not allow me to run commands that I should. FRP shows as unlocked on fastboot and in developer settings.
I would simply try to unlock my bootloader again using oem unlock with my unlock code however I was silly enough to not save my code from DC Unlocker. I would get my code by setting my phone to manufactor mode etc, however its messed up so that most the default software is not included, including the ProjectMenu, and even a default keyboard (only includes Googles Voice keyboard).
Is it possible to get this menu back or is there anything I can do to restore my phone to have TWRP on it?
I tried installing the ProjectMenu APK but that fails and I don't know how to install the files in "update_data_full_public". I have messed with my phone a lot to try and fix it, including using the erecovery to try and flash many various updates, rolled it back, and flashing it after that to no avail.
There's a lot that I have done that is not included so if theres any questions, please ask.
Thanks

Yes, I have tried using the dload method multiple times with different firmwares, the "Download and install via wifi" method which fails as it says it cannot find anything for my phone, as well as trying through HiSuite when in fastboot. This also says it can't find any package for my phone. Very weird to be honest.
Also tried factory reset, settings reset (from advanced menu in settings), and wiping cache.
Also tried to go back to Android 6 using this method: https://www.stechguide.com/downgrade-honor-8-from-nougat-to-marshmallow/ and that failed ):

Ok, so I used this tutorial ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/b399-flash-via-dload-mode-t3716885 which is yours) and it actually flashed and upgraded the phone. ProjectMenu still wasn't working so updated from the settings as one appeared. Phone is now on C432 B404.
Project menu still doesn't work along with some default apps not being installed such as Clock.
It seems like all the files I need is in the "update_data_full_public" update zip including the project menu apk. Does anyone know how to flash everything in this file as just installing the apk fails?
I tried putting it in to dload file but that just files as there is no update.app.
