Grab the stock update (Full ~90mb) or full stock ROM from the dev forum for your specific device. Extract it and use fastboot to flash the .img files
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

ok a lil confused. Im currently stuck in the bootloader(at the top its says fastboot mode- no boot or recovery img) Im unable to do anything with phone trying usin adb it doest give ne a serial number It just say devices attached and it shows nothing. so how do i get the files i need on the phone. You said fastboot not sure how to start that. Do i just download the zip and extract it and hit shift-right click in the folder to bring up command. If so how do start the command line.

the only stock rom im finding that the links work for is only 77mb will that work

You need to use fastboot, not adb.
Grab the appropriate full rom here (i9020, i9023) for your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
Extract that.
Take boot.img and recovery.img and put them into tools\ folder of the SDK (where fastboot is located) unless you've added it to your path.
fastboot devices should show your device (serial) much like adb devices
Flash boot:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Alternatively, you could flash CWM (using fastboot, just grab the .img for CWM) - flash the entire update package and then reboot - it will install the stock recovery.

The full recovery isn't in the package. You could flash cwm manually via fastboot and then install the full OTA package through cwm. A subsequent reboot will then install the stock recovery.

Twrp error 255 help!

I tried restore backup, and it restores until it tries restore system, then comes error 255. I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 for emui 4.0. I have tried flash another twrp version but same error always. Can someone help me?
Phone: Honor 6 (H60-L04) European, unlocked bootloader
P.S Sorry for bad english. :/

i've had same problem , afterall i tried eveything and didn't work out so i jsut completely factory unbricked the phone , flash complet firmware via 3-key combo.
it will wipe internal momery during the process.

It looks like that your backup got corrupted, you should restore system to a full stock firmware, follow these steps to do so.
Download your latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
This will get you to Stock firmware.
I suggest once you get back to stock, root your device, install TWRP and take a Nandroid backup again, but this time once the backup is completed, compress the whole backup folder in tar and store it somewhere safe. This will prevent future corruption of the backup.
Hope this helps...

Yes finally. You have to download the update file for whatever version of the rom you currently have installed. Then extract userdata, boot, system, and erecovery1 and erecovery2 images. Fastboot flash them in bootloader mode. Reboot device. Shutdown device. Boot to system recovery and do a full system restore. All set.

You need three softwares

2. Huawei update extractor
3. Firmware file update .zip
First extract the zip file , there you will get update.app file . Extract BOOT.IMG RECOVERY.IMG SYSTEM.IMG USER DATA.IMG using Huawei extractor software .
NOW open huawei multitool app (internet connection required)
Put all these files you extracted in unbrick folder of huawei multi tool
Follow steps to unbrick your device

You can download the full firmware directly from honor, unzip it, and place the update.app file in a dload folder that you create on your sd card. Power of the phone then hold volume up, down, and power at the same time to initiate an automatic flash of the room you downloaded. This will erase everything, so be aware.

1.Download full rom from huawei support site then extract update.app
2.place it in dload folder using twrp (in twrp enable MTP)
3.Now extract the recovery.img from update.app using huawei extractor and flash it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.now power off phone then start phone holding Volume Up ,Volume Down & power button simultaneously
5.it will start updating

I had the same problem once.
You can try to flash the cust partition of your phone. The "device verification failed"-message should disappear then. It's not enough to only flash boot, system and recovery. If there is a problem with the cust partition of your phone you can also have problems with flashing stock roms via "dload"-method.
1. Download the right stock firmware via the huawei firmware finder. You usually have two .zip files (e.g. update.zip & update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip). The image file for the cust partition can be found in the update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip (choose the right one for your model).
2. Unpack update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip and extract the cust partition with the huawei firmware extractor.
3. Put your phone into fastboot mode
4. Use the following command: fastboot flash cust cust.img
5. Try to boot into your stock rom.

While this technique certainly appears to have been researched. Running though the instructions has resulted in my device caught in a boot-loop. A pretty serious one too. I can no longer access the bootloader or recovery/
I fear the state my device is in is 'soft bricked/ I have no clue have to resolve this and without access to the bootloader I can't rollback anything.
Some friendly notes for Hsnmastoor:
You should re-format the post. Writing the instructions then at the end supply the links and file attachments in the order in which they should be run As it is, the instructions are confusing .
If anyone has any ideas how to correct the boot loop, plug me in

Has anyone flashed this successfully?

any bugs? i flashed crdroid. it's too buggy

Hi everybody,
Still mad at myself for buying this phone (with MediaTek SOC) because of the lack of custom ROM support. Never had this issue before with any of my phones. If only i knew this before. The hardware of the phone is great, but the software makes it really frustrating to work with.
So i've tried a lot of things to either mod the original (Chinese) ROM so it's at least functional. And i have also tried multiple of these GSI ROM install methods. Everytime without succes.
I've tried your previous method with the 'GSI installer' and the one from this guide. Neither of them worked. (Boot loop). I have a feeling i run into trouble because (if i'm correct) the original ROM uses a 'super' partition and not a 'system' partition.
If i remember correctly the GSI installer couldn't continue because it couldn't find the system partition.
In this guide (for corvus) i figured i'd flash the system.img to my super partition. Of cource that doesn't work either. If only it was that simple.
Everytime it fails i have to flash back to a standard xiaomi ROM and start all over again. Because for some reason the TWRP backups also dont work for me.
So maybe i'm missing a step in the guide or i've already tried so much to mod my phone i've changed settings/partitions that shouldn't have been changed for this guide to work.
My bootloader is unlocked, i have/had TWRP 3.41 installed.
After a fail i flash back to the original ROM using Xiaomi ABD/Fastboot Tools (xiaomiABDFastbootTools.jar)
Any help would be appreciated!

I never had issue when I flashed the GSI from the crdroid guide did you make sure that you put the GSI installer.zip and the image file rename to system.img to the root internal storage??

Yes i did. It could also find the system.img file, but just wasn't able to flash it.
Can you tell mw what ROM you were flashing from?
