Hi There, need some help if you can...any educated and experienced help would be appreciated thanks.
After downloading my stock firmware and extracting via Huawei update Extractor all the image files ( System, user data, Cache, etc) I backed up oeminfo and cust files via Rayglobe Knife and saving the extracted update.app file to my dload folder on SDCard and successfully resetting my phone to factory using the vol+/- and power method I was quietly confident to make the jump and flash a rom the Android 7.0 (N) Nougat beta on Huawei posted by Somboons
I followed the instructions and dirty flashed this thru TWRP as instructed which seemed to go ok until I tried to reboot, the phone booted to stock recovery so I wiped Dalvik, Cache and Factroy reset, this completed and it all went down hill from there, basically now just stuck at boot screen saying that its about to reboot but never moves unless I use button combos
(OK so yes I feel stupid now and I'll beat myself up so you don"t have to, but I reallyt thought that I could always get back to stock via my SDCard)
What I can do...
Phone can only boot to eRecovery ( with WIFI failed message )
I can go into fastboot ( shows Bootloader and FRP unlocked)
What i can't do...
Cant access my update file on SDCard....Trying to boot using vol+/- and power to access my dload/update.app file on my SDCard just freezes at initial boot screen and tells me to push vol up button for 3 second and this takes me to eRecovery where all i can do is reboot or shut down.
I can't adb sideload files " no SU Binary detected"
What I've tried...
I have tried Rayglobe knife UNBRICK option placing my extracted boot, cust, system, recovery .img files but his fails with my PC popping up and saying this operation can't be performed on this PC please contact developer so this fails.
I then tried to fastboot flash all the image files which seemed to work successfully but no changes to the situation.
I have tried to fastboot flash the update.app which went thru the sparse process of all seven files and then come up with error command can not complete ( something in those words)
I have tried to fastboot new stock recovery from my rom as well as TWRP recovery but nothing works even if it says seems to have completed in the adb command prompt.
I have a feeling this is to do with the encryption of the rom and now my system cannot recognise my partition and without recovery I have no way of mounting my sdcard.
Thank god I have my old and reliable Lumia 1520 to fall back on untill I get this sorted.
Any Help would be appreciated....thanks in advance
Are you able to boot into Huawei recovery?

A very big thanks ....this worked with no hitches except I now have no service now have to find unlock code for sim and get rid of the Ascend 7 splash screen that appears before the original Huawei Boot screen.?
After the above issues with thanks to warsangel's suggestion to use DC_Phoenix, I have managed to get my phone back up and running...got sim working so I now can detect my network and call and text using HCU client.
I now want to get rid of the annoying splash screen on bootup that shows Huawei Ascend spalsh screen before the mate 8 factory Huawei animated boot up screen. I still cannot access my dload folder on SDCard using vol-/+ and power button combo and if I dial in to manufacturers settings using*#*#2846579#*#* when i select upgrade from sd card i get a "PT failed do you still want to continue" if i click yes it re installs the firmware but makes no changes at all. Does any one have any other ideas. Of how to clear the splash screen and get the phone working back on Mate 8 button and bootup settings. Everything else works perfectly just a couple of things that will niggle at me...just want to get it back to out of the box as I have the Original Firmware zip file for this phone and region. cheers

Hi blueheart...no I can't, I think this is my problem, I can get to fast boot and I can't fastboot anything now because the boot loader is locked with a different code than the original one that I paid for with dc-unlocker. I have manged thru HCU cLIENT to get my original imei number and serial number but this serial number doesnt show up when I fastboot devices, lists one that come with the Phoenix firmware I flashed which is an Ascend as this was a NXT image closest to my NXT-L09.
My problem still is that I seem to go in to 2G and lose the signal all the time, I'm thinking I need to enter more details in CDMA repair in HCU Client or am I going about this the wrong way???
Oh bru, no idea!
HCU client is good enough. Keep trying dload if your bootloader is locked, it will flash for sure. Phone isn't easy to brick.

Cheers Mate, managed to get to dload/update now but this doesnt seem to give a full reset, but modem is holding a signal but intermittently will drop into no service. I managed via HCU to re enter my imei and serial but a different serial number showsup in my settings still ??? getting back to where i need to but the signal dropping is a real problem. The next step is to try and get bootloader unlocked....any advice from any one.... if I fastboot flash modem will this be enough to bring my base band back or is there another file I should be looking at? cheers
You need to have cust and oem info of your own area for best signal

Thanks....I have my backup oeminfo it isnt a .img or .app file it just says oeminfo (type=file) can i fast boot this ? or do I have to use SRKtool as I don't want to unlock bootloader.
DC-Phoenix tool lets me fastboot .img files via backdoor and app files can I convert the oeminfo file to and .img file?
Cheers
How did you do the back up?
You can flash via fastboot

Backup was done through Rom Manager but the back up isn't an image it's a series of files like system.ext4, boot.emmc.win etc with MD5 info files. I've re-rooted device and tried to use rom manager to restore but when it boots to TWRP recovery nothing happens??? and I can't see any of the files if I go into the twrp folder on the SDcard because they aren't zip or img file.
My biggest problem even after doing full factory reset, wipe cache or install my original firmware update.app file, it doesn't seem to over write the image file that I used to recover my phone with the DC-Phoenix app, every thing indicates that it has been successful, but when I boot up,, It never goes to the stock setup mode where you would normally, choose your region, set your pin etc....it's like my install is only a shell or part of my install is not overwriting the dgtks firmware file I used which was a Huawei Ascend 7. The system re-defaults after rest to this firmware. Anyone help me to get rid of it and get back to my stock please?
I can use my stock update.app but it's not installing over the NXT AL10_M00A095_Factory_firmware_Android_6.0_EMUI_4.0.dgtks that I use ( this was the closest firmware that they had ) I think I need to format my whole system to ext4 ??? especially the partition that it storing this data that is preventing me to get my stock firmware back....any help or advice on this ...thanks
Yes format via Huawei recovery then flash
Or
Root and flash via TWRP after unzipping

just to update....I tried formatting and resetting all partitions to ext4 format most of the partitioning was successful with the exception of Systrem and Cust...TWRP would allow me to do these....I did numerous wipes via TWRP and Stock RECOVERY but unfortunately even with a full update.app via sdcard / dload folder and fastboot update.app (my firmware) via DC-Phoenix I couldn't seem to get a full factory stock install, same problems as discussed above and file system always goes to Encrypting screen and then I end up with the Ascend 7 screen and settings with obviously the wrong base band for my region. So I hate to admit defeat, but I've relocked bootloader, reset as much as I can and sent off to the Huawei Workshop to see if they can reset all the partitons back to normal.
Hahaha
Cool, let's see

Update: well I dodged a bullet today....I sent my Mate 8 away 5 days ago to the Huawei tech support up the other end of the country and it arrived back today, back to stock and they replaced the main board with no cost to me at all. I was sure that they would call foul play and charge me but I obviously did such a number on the phone and then cleaned up all traces that they couldn't make that call lesson learn't and I see a few other people having similar problems with the Beta Nougat Rom....that you may need to post a big warning and send them to this posting so they are fair warned. I think this thread is done....I might just leave my phone alone and no tweaking for a while
Absolutely true!
XDA is not a playground for kids
You need courage to keep the Mate's balls on fire and get burnt with the nuclear reactions while keeping the blame on self
Hello, today while trying to get back to stock i wierdly bircked my honor 8
I flashed the stock recovery and stock boot img
Then i flashed a rollback package and a marshmallow package which i used for this same thing before.
Now the phone didnt start for a solid 30 minutes and ive decided to reflash the rollback and marshmallow package, but after i flashed the rollback got stuck at the boot logo, not even the stock bootanimation showing up.
The phone doesnt reboot neither in any of the recoveries nor in bootloader.
Any help would be appreciated.

It will be tricky if you haven't at least access to fastboot :/
I think the best thing to do is to flash another ROM, use the dload method again and again because apparently that's all you have
You can also take a look at DC unlocker, it may resolve your issue
Have you managed to fix the phone ?
Not yet, i will try again tho in a few hours with the dload method, by flashing stock boot img then using rollback and then marshmallow firmware.
Don't forget that you need a stock BOOT.IMG and Recovery.img to perform dload method
I soft brick my Mate 9. I was on Resurrection Remix O 6.0.0 Unofficial (Android 8.1. ) and my front camera and fingerprint didn't work. Phone was unlocked and rooted at the time. I was trying to go back to stock and reflash the official RR (GSI). I accidentally fastboot flash stock Oero system.img (MHA-L29C567B367 - 8.0.0.367). Phone can't pass "Set up as new phone" screen and no keyboard at all. I suspect incomplete flash. It shows "FRP lock" on fastboot screen.
What I did so far?
1. Tried to grab firmware from stock recovery, getting package failed.
2. Tried dload method with that same Oreo stock rom's update.app (MHA-L29C567B367 - 8.0.0.367).
3. Tried HWOTA8 - Replace recovery but fail due to the locks.
4. Tried HiSuite - It fail to recovery my phone.
5. Tried factory reset via eRecovery. It did reset successfully but still stuck in eRecovery bootloop.
My phone now is locked on both Phone and FRP. Any idea? I really need to use the phone. Thanks in advance.
Update: Unbrick it via FunkyHuawei eRecovery method.
Mod: Please delete this thread. Thank you.
Hi guys! In Huawei MultiTool, I accidentally installed a Nougat TWRP to my eRecovery partition with the default EMUI 2-5 option and accidentally hit the 'Flash as eRecovery' option. I tried flashing it back via fastboot, I also tried Huawei MultiTool and HiSuite's Recovery options, but all of them failed. How can I fix it?
UPDATE: I used the MultiTool's Unbrick option and eRecovery is now back!
Hello, same thing happend to me a time ago. You must download an original firmware same as already installed, then download huawei firmware extractor and flash the original recovery via huawei multitool method. it works well for me. Im on FRD-L02C432B407 EU version. Hope it would be helpful. Good luck !
I already posted here, but i was with no pc for some weeks so couldnt answer to the thread and now its old, Im back.
Situation is like this, huawei gr5 2017 (bll l22) bricked after bad flashing and software manipulation.
Vol down + power gets me to fastboot, it says phone unlocked and FRP unlock.
Download method with vol down + vol up + power doesnt work, always stuck at 5% saying "software install failed, incompatibility with current version" or doesnt say anything at all, just stuck at 5%.
Also, when i try to wipe data/factory reset from stock revoery it says "reset failed"
So dload method doesnt work, i also tried using DCPHOENIX software which saved one of my older huawei phones but it didnt work at all this time. When i flash a twrp recovery through fastboot, it flashes succesfully but when i boot into it it just boots into the stock one, and there the restore to stock option always fails after i connect to wifi saying that "failed to reach the server" or "failed to download the firmware", something like that.
I had twrp some days ago, out of the blue it booted into it. I had stock firmware on my sd card fortunately so i tried to flash the zip and itfailed with error 6 or 7, cant remember which. Anyways that twrp instance dissapeared after a reboot and now its always stock recovery, cant install twrp (described that above already).
So, do i have any options? nothing seems to work. no recovery, no dload, no dc phoenix, no fastboot (i tried flashing boot, system images through fastboot but it denied access to those partitions) flashing, i tried sp flash tool but the honor 6x roms have no scatter file and the flash tool requires one
Help, please. Ill appreciate it
What was your EMUI version before brick? Have you tried manually booting into TWRP? After you finish flashing don't reboot. Just hold power & volume down. If not then try to load TWRP recovery. It won't install but sort of load it. I don't know the exact command. If your phone is bootloader unlocked and frp unlocked try fastboot erase. System and then user data. I had a hard brick and it was even worse. No recovery, no fastboot and no dload. Just stuck. Managed to fix it myself without DC or Phoenix. So don't lose hope.

I cant remember if it was marshmallow or nougat so it was either emui 4 or 5. Im trying it all again and it doesnt work but ill keep doing it i guess
Try flashing recovery of nougat and then manually try to boot. Or maybe try to load the recovery without installation. It has a different command but I dunno.
hi, I have pretty much the same problem, somehow wiped the 'system' through TWRP. And since then I am trying to flash TWRP to boot, but I am getting nothing. I had EMUI 8
Tried flashing stock nougat through Multi Tool but no use, it succeeds but does not boot into anything, just the stock recovery whenever I turn it on.
Whenever I flash TWRP and try to boot into recovery (Vol-up+power), it would always boot into stock recovery.
Tried booting into eRecovery, but same thing.
Tried command fastboot boot RECOVERY-V2.img, but got the problem saying 'command not allowed'
what to do.
