Ok, so I had oreo in my 6x indian variant, and wanted to flash elemental OS V8. But for some reason the TWRP was not able to access the data partition. And when I read somewhere in XDA (in other device's forum) that changing the file system from f2fs to ext4 can help and did so and it worked. I could access my internal storage and everything on TWRP. But I didn't change the file system back to f2fs and sideloaded the elemental 8. It worked find and I installed it. When rebooting it got into bootloop. After that I tried to get into the TWRP but didn't work. I flashed the TWRP again which said flashed OK, but when I tried to enter it took me to the stock recovery. When I tried the dload method with the nougat B360 version, it gave me blank screen with red led blinking and nothing working after that. I tried dload with the oreo file which gave me back the stock recovery and erecovery, but again flashing TWRP didn't work. After dload, it reboots to erecovery and asks me to wipe data partition since it is severely corrupt but says factory reset failed. In some cases it does go factory reset but doesn't boot into OS. Since I do not have access to TWRP I am not able to bring it back. I had got into this situations before but the dload always worked. Maybe now it isn't because I am on Oreo and the partitions are different from Nougat? I also tried formatting/erasing partitions from fastboot but gives me error/ remote command not allowed. I also tried Multi-Tool8 and used the unbrick option. but doesn't work it gives me all flashed, and when i flash the oreo files gives me all flashed Error#1, Complete, Something went wrong and bootloops again or gives me blank screens.
I have attached a screenshot of my device info. If anyone could help me breath life into it.

What command you use to flash TWRP? And what image are you trying to flash? Try this. In Fastboot flash RECOVERY-V2.img (Elemental ROM TWRP) via command.
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img
After it's flashed, press and Hold Power and Volume Up till you see Honor logo then let go. It Should boot to TWRP. If not then extract the Uodate.zip (the large one) and you will get Update.app and using Huawei Update Extractor extract System.img, Ramdisk.img and Recovery_ramdisk.img then boot phone to fastboot and flash them manually as
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk Recovery_ramdis.img
And,
fastboot flash system system.img
This should work. It's a boot error.
I was in same mode in fastboot when i updated to Oreo and it was b340 which saved me from this via dload. You give it a try.
You may not be able to flash twrp now as your BL me be locked after dload.

I did try that but from the unbrick option from Multi-Tool. And also there are two recovery images in the UPDATE.APP and I don't know which one to flash. When I tried from the Multi-Tool, it says you're trying to flash the wrong image. Also I think the boot partition in oreo is ramdisk? I am not sure... because there is no boot image in the unbrick option. Although I didn't try flashing them individually. I will try it and let you know. Thanks.

So the B340 dload didn't work for me. Gives the same results. Always boots into erecovery and then fails to factory reset. Also the phone doesn't get switched on or boot into recovery without connecting to the USB. Only when it is connected it works, that too after 5-10 mins after I press the Power button or the Recovery key combination. And I used a 4GB memory card, could this be the reason the dload didn't work?

You may need 8 GB SD card if you have or can borrow and see if that helps. Whats the size of update.app file?

Something around 3.3 GB. There's only some 250mb left in the card when I copy the update.app

Hi, so none of the methods work. But I could get back to TWRP for Elemental Rom. Still flashing roms from TWRP doesn't boot me in. And now the dload screen doesn't appear when I press the combination. All I have is fastboot mode, erecovery and TWRP installed. But none of the methods work. I am not able to figure what I am doing wrong!!
Try hurupdater.
http://https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
0.3 for nougat or 0.4 for oreo (in my case works)
And remember format data in first time
You need the firmware for your 6x...
Good luck!
hey i am in the same situation as yours, all i am able to boot into is fastboot, nothing beyond that is working, i have the extracted update.app for oreo , the last system i flashed was emui oreo , and nothing else is working i have tried all the options suggested.
could someone guide me on the actual steps needed to flash the .img files as i'm unable to boot into recovery of twrp or openkirin
any help will be appreciated.

Hi. I was trying to install cm13 on my honor 8. I unlocked the bootloader, but while trying to install twrp recovery I think I deleted everything off the phone. The huawei erecovery doesn't work, and I tried sooooo many fastboot commands. I can't do adb commands. I can only get into fastboot mode. Is there anyway for me to get out of this? I tried flashing the system.img and boot.img from fastboot but it fails.

Yes. I installed a roll back update (something like that) by getting into the force update mode. After it finished, I had to then apply the full stock firmware. The problem was that I somehow put the firmware of another phone, because my model number was from a different Huawei phone.

Hi. I got tired of CM13, so I tried to go back to stock. I checked a guide online which told me to flash 2 files using TWRP. after that, I lost twrp and now my bootloader is locked. What do I do? I manually did an update with the update.app file, and it says update success, but when it reboots it stays on the honor 8 screen, I waited for 25 minutes and it's still there.

Try going into stock recovery and doing a factory reset after you use the update.app. You'll have to unlock the bootloader again and flash twrp if you want root.
Restoring to MM using a full image will typically lock the bootloader.
It happened to me too, it is possible you still didn't use the right image.
This is how I recovered mine:
1. Go here to download the latest firmware for your model: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=129406
2. Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract files from the "Update.app". (Ignore the 'profile' drop down list in the app.)
3. Unlock your phone's bootloader.
4. Flash these four images (extracted using the tool from step 2):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
5. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. This is needed to reformat the internal storage (and make it encrypted I think). (Power+Vol Up)
6. Put the Update.app file inside the "dload" folder in your SDcard.
7. Boot into flash mode to let the phone flash the Update.app (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down).

2 things, 1 is that there are 2 recovery files in the UPDATE.APP, and 2 is that I can't do a factory reset from the recovery, because it brings me to the erecovery and it doesn't give me the option to factory reset.

You need to hold VOLUME UP and POWER button with the phone off to get into the recovery to do a factory reset. Once the honor logo pops up, you can release the power and volume up buttons.
Recovery.img = Stock recovery
Recovery2.img = eRecovery

I just did everything exactly the way you said. But it still stays at the honor boot logo. I don't mind waiting over night for it to boot up if I have to, but I've never had a phone take this long to boot up, even on first boot.
For a "brick" thread, it seems odd that the model is never mentioned so that someone can really point you to the right spot. If you keep going to erecovery, then it has to do with whether or not your cable is plugged in (likely you've been keeping it plugged in for your fastboot attempts, or that's a guess). I only go to erecovery with both up/down & power if the cable is plugged in. If I want to get to stock recovery (regardless of what the hell is in the "recovery" partition, TWRP, or who knows?) then I unplug it before trying any key combo from power off to get there.
Lastly, if you use this sort of thing as a template (I'm just going to use one for the frd-l09 as an example, but stick the right model in there for you) ::
Example to plug into Google to find your rollback with instructions:: site:consumer.huawei.com honor 8 frd-l09 rollback
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if you've got an frd-l04 then plug that in where frd-l09 is. It'll just look on the site consumer.huawei.com just above where the various country/variant breakdowns are, like US/ZH/HU/Etc. are.
Pick the one out that is closest to what it seems you want. All the pages are in the local languages so I'm guessing the .pdf that explains what to do is in the language you'll want as well.
Good luck:: Let us know what model phone you have.
More: Contents of first "intermediate" update.app is 8 image files. I'm sure the 2nd one that is specifically your own phone's version of b162 has a lot more files in it. I've not looked for awhile but I think it's 21 or 22 files. This is a two step process, first is all the crap that comes in update.app from the rollback page (just a 100K file which sets you up in intermediate state for rollback) and 2nd you find your exactly right b162 for your model phone, and pretty much repeat the process.
Yet More: One odd thing about the Honor 8: I've not seen it on other phones is the partition layout is not really "trustworthy" unless you really have gotten to understand it. There appears to be at least 3 or 4 places you can get to that I used to think would all have to be in the recovery partition, but apparently the Honor 8 works differently, so no matter how bleak your odds seem, .. maybe not. I got to both erecovery and stock recovery and rollback while TWRP was installed and it worked just following the directions from their website.
Agreed on this thing.

Thank you very much, you saved me and my phone !!!
I made a mistake: my phone was under android m and I flashed by mistake the rollback update (to go m from n), then my honor was bricked on bootloop, no recovery, no update by dload....nothing worked....
Your solution was the right one !! again thank you very much
Interesting observation with the eRecovery (recovery2 partition). So I have TWRP installed, the system partition modified and user storage not encrypted. I was still able to to use eRecovery to connect to WiFi and download the factory image and it automatically repaired the phone to factory state. I noticed it doesn't re-lock the bootloader afterward. This seems to be the easiest method to unbrick.
Getting into eRecovery.

Ok after the factory reset (which is peppered with mounting errors)...
failed to mount /data (invalid arguments)
unable to mount storage
When I try to flash cust.img and system.img they both fail.
I cannot check what firmware I was on before I started all this, but I believe it was the latest one. This is a FRD-04. I flashed TWRP 3.1.0.1 erecovery and I can access it and fastboot.
I have tried various different things and nothing I do can unbrick the phone. Any help would be appreciated.

have the same problem as you on my FRD-09.
I don't have this phone anymore, but the easiest way I find to restore it is using eRecovery.
apparently my stock recovery is corrupted. I am unable to flash back to stock or apply any updates. the phone hangs at the bootloader unlocked warning screen every time. I have tried everything to try to fix it but nothing works. I extracted the stock recovery and even tried to fastboot flash it but it didn't work either. does anyone have any suggestions? the phone is not rooted, but the bootloader is unlocked. thanks so much is advance.

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.

unknown command [errno] update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip from zip failed

i can run fastboot and twrp but nothing else works. i will paypal 15 dollars to someone who can help me
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.
The issue I am having is that my honor 8 (FRD-L14) is stuck on "your device is booting now.." and it does not shut down. If I hold the power button until it shuts down then it restarts by itself and it keep doing the same thing over and over.
When it first starts and the blue screen and the logo come up the phone vibrate twice and then it displays "your device is booting now..." and it gets stuck there
Here is what I can and cant do:
I can go into fastboot and it shows that the phone is unlocked and the FRP is unlocked
I can flash TWRP from there and I can go into TWRP
When I check in TWRP for partitions I can see CUST or DATA and it shows that the INTERNAL STORAGE size is ZERO
I was able to create the system partition but I am not sure if I did it right.
the dload folder on the SD Card has the role back but the three finger thing (vol+ and vol- and power does not start the system restore from update.app) instead it gets stuck on " your device is booting now..."
I tried Huawei_Multi-Tool and I chose the "unbrick option"...I extracted system.img, boot.img, recovery.img and cust.img and the tool was able to push all images to the device but still the device does not start.
The original stock recovery is not accessible either even if I flash the stock recovery image from TWRP
Any tips on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance guys

You said you can go into TWRP right. Just rebrand the device to L19 :angel:
First format data
Then flash the rebrand.zip
Then reboot and if it doesn't boot first go into recovery and factory reset then let it boot up again.
Try flashing stock recovery.img using fastboot. Can you now enter into the 3-button combination mode?

Yes, but he tried the dload method before flashing stock recovery, and he was flashing stock recovery using twrp rather than fastboot.
Thanks but I tried dload after I flashed the stock recovery.
And I tried flashing the stock recovery using facebook and twrp and neither ways succeeded

I had the same exact issue 5 days ago.
Here's what I did to solve it
NOTE - This is FRD-L14 SPECIFIC
First, Download these files -
1) FRD-L04 Original Recoveries and Boot Image
2) FRD-04 Rollback Package from Huawei
3) FRD-L04 Official MM ROM from Huawei
4) FRD-L14 Specific Stock MM ROM Update.zip
Assuming Bootloader is unlocked
Here's what you should do
-Unzip the Recoveries and Boot image folder
-Unzip Rollback Package
-Make a folder called "dload" (without the quotes) in the root of your SD Card
-Place the Update.app from the Rollback Package in there
-Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed - Installer
-Boot into fastboot by Plugging in your USB Cable and Holding Power + Volume Down. This may take multiple tries and multiple reboots to get it right depending on the reboot loop.
-Once phone is in Fastboot, go into the Recoveries and Boot folder, hold Shift and right Click. Click on open Command Window Here.
-If the option says "Powershell" instead, open Command prompt manually, and cd to that directory, or change this option in your settings.
-With command prompt open, do -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
IMPORTANT - Make sure you unplug the cable from the phone and are ready to press both volume buttons at the same time after it reboots
If you dont get it the first time,hold all 3 buttons at the same time to make it reboot and go into that mode.
Code:
fastboot reboot
-Remove cable, press both Buttons at the same time
-It should go into stock recovery and start flashing the Rollback package
-Wait for it to finish, it should reboot automatically
-After it reboots, you should notice that it went back to the same state it was, so reboot into fastboot and flash recovery, recovery2, and the boot image again.
-This time, put the Update.app from the Official L04 Rom you downloaded from the Huawei website in the "dload" folder of the SDCard
-Fastboot Reboot, Remove cable, and Press buttons again. This time it will flash the Official ROM, so it will take longer.
-If it says error right at 99%, reboot, it flashed correctly but it displays an error.
-If it says error anytime before the end of flash, reboot and try again.-After it reboots, you will notice you are able to boot again. BUT, you are not able to update due to it being branded as L04, sooooo
-Place the Update.app from the 4th link (L14 Specific ROM) in the "dload" folder of SD Card
-Three button method into the recovery flash again.
-It will start to flash the L14 Specific ROM on top of the L04 one.
-After it flashes it and reboots, reboot one more time once you are inside android so it encrypts the ROM.
-(Optional) Update to Nougat, apply other updates after that (There's like 3 Updates I think)
-At this point you have a 100% Stock FRD-L14 Honor 8 but, you can also
-(Optional) Reunlock Bootloader
-Profit?

Thanks! i will give this a try since flashing the rebranding zip file that was suggested in one of the posts did not work out for me.
However, do you think that this w=method will work despite the fact that I do not have a valid DATA or CUST partitions?
Thanks again for responding to my post!!

No problem!
That shouldn't matter, this will get you to 100% stock, so all of those partitions will be reflashed.

It worked!!!
Thanks a lot!
but this is what happened:
After i flashed recovery, recovery2 and boot images, I rebooted the phone and it went straight to stock recovery and it asked me download stock firmware and stock recovery which was 1.66GB so I allowed and it downloaded it and flashed everything and did a reset and the phone booted normally.
The stock firmware that it downloaded and flashed was B122 MM.
One question though, does the flashing sequence of the recovery, recovery2 and boot matter?
Before you posted your post, I had tried flashing these three files in the following order: boot, then recovery then recovery2 but it never worked.
Also, the three images that tried to flash were extracted from the update.app from this firmware (FRD-L14C567B162_FULL) so I was not sure what was going wrong.
Thanks again for your help!! :victory::good::highfive:

It shouldn't matter, but I included it because sometimes those get corrupted like what happened to me. I'll probably be testing it out completely and making a guide. Looks like you had it better than I did though! I'm glad you got it fixed! :highfive:

Model: BLN L-24
I am stuck in error mode with
Func NO: 11 (recovery image)
Error NO: 2 (failed load!)
I have tried to re-flash several custom recovery I have used in the past, however none seem to work and end with the same result.
I have also tried flashing the stock recovery2.img from the Update.app for my model, but that also doesn't work and ends with a FAILED (remote: Partition Error)
I have run into troubles before, but I'm stumped with this one, I can at least still boot into fastboot.
Any help would be appreciated.

What's your Android version. What were you trying to do. What recoveries have you tried and what's the command you're using. I had the same error yesterday because I flashed wrong TWRP. Fixed it by reflashing correct image.

The version was Android 8 Oreo
I started out trying to go back to EMUI 8.0 from Open Kirin RROS Beta 2. So I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317
I tried the TWRP from download in the guide that was in the HWOTA8_BLN folder along with the TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-emui-8-0-0-honor-6x-dual-sim-t3794079
The command I was using to flash the recoveries I believe is correct also which is the fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "name of image" command. That command will flash successfully with the custom recoveries, however it will still bring up the error mode despite pressing +vol button.
The stock recoveries I extracted from the update.app file, I downloaded from here: https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=bln-L24&firmware_page=0. Which are the stock recoveries that end up with the FAILED (remote: Partition Error) Message.

You tried to use HWOTA 8 to go back to stock? Dude. Use Hurupdater. Now, to fix. First of all search XDA for TWRP for hi6250. You can use Elemental but try this one first. Flash it via PowerShell. Does that give any errors? Now once it's flashed, don't reboot. Disconnect phone from PC and hold Volume Up and Power button simultaneously. You should boot into TWRP. What does bootloader say. Phone Locked or Unlocked? What about FRP? The stock recovery didn't work cause you used the BLN-L24 one which is for EMUI 5. You're on EMUI 8. Try to boot into TWRP

I tried both of those things and still couldn't get it working.
dload doesn't pop up and multi tool fails to flash the recovery_ramdisk.img when trying to unbrick it.
I do remember before any of this happened that I was having a problem with my internal storage as I didn't have access to it. All file mangers I tried couldn't access it and showed it up as blank and TWRP showed it with 0mb.
I have a feeling that my internal storage is screwed up and that's why all attempt to flash anything have failed. I may just have face the fact that it's dead.

As long as it turns on it isn't dead. Did you try DC unlocker? That often works. Try it and if it fails go to service center and play dumb. Say it happened like this after a update.
Edit. Let it power off. When it turns on hold Volume Up
