Hi,
My Honor 6 (Indian Version) was stuck in boot loop post OTA upgrade from B822 to B831. In order to fix this issue, I went through many forums available online and then decided to use the Multi Tool to downgrade to Android L & EMUI 3.1.
To get this done I have followed the below steps:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY and SYSTEM files from the update package downloaded from Honor.in site. //(Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_C675B570_India_Flipkart)//
3. Used Multi Tool to unbrick.
Post this the phone is not able to get into recovery mode; it's stuck at the logo screen. It doesnot recognise the 3 button command to boot into recovery mode.
I have tried using the 'boot to recovery' command in Multi Tool but it throws error "daemon not running starting on port 5037".
I have also tried adb command but for some reason my computer does not recognise my mobile.
i.e. adb devices --> doesnot show my device. (yes, I have updated the abb drivers). So I am not able to use any adb commands.
Then i tried installing/flashing CWM & TWRP recovery. None helped. :crying:
Now I am here, out of options and do not know how to proceed.
Could someone in this forum help me fix the current issue? Please.
In addition, I would like to know a few things:
a. How to install a new OS/ROM on a dead phone? (Healthy hardware with corrupt software)
b. How to format any phone and start a fresh installation?
c. How to read internal memory of a phone which has no ROM or corrupt software?
I am new to all this. Please bear with me.
Thanks,
Sampath

First of all hold and press power + vol down to boot into bootloader mode and type
Fastboot devices
After connecting your phone to PC and opening a command window in platform-tools. Your device should be listed.
adb devices works only when your phone is already booted into Android or running twrp.
Copy and paste the four image files to platform-tools folder and fire these commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
And then use the 3 button command.

I am in a bit different situation, let me explain.
Till day before yesterday I was on B570 Rom, then I upgraded over OTA to B831, then Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, Installed Latest TWRP Recovery & Installed Latest Xposed Framework, everything went successfull & My phone is running fine.
But the question that arises to me is that none of the Stock Marshmallow update for Honor 6 - H60-L04 has been stable as compared to Lollipop Version & I found B570 super stable & the possibility of myself reverting back to B570 is more. What would be the procedure to revert back to B570.. I think first of all I would have to revert back to stock recovery & then flash the rom package, but how to do this successfully.
Kindly advice.

Thank you for your response. :good:
I have flashed all the files using the fastboot mode, but my phone does not recognise the 3 button command.
It either displays the Honor logo or restarts with a quick vibration. the only command it recognised is 'Vol Down + USB plugged into a computer' (for fastboot).
When flashed with Honor Custom or CWM recovery the phone does not recognise:
1. Vol up + Vol down + Power - for recovery mode
2. Vol down + Power - for hard reset/clear cache partition
When flashed with TWRP recovery the phone only recognises: Power + Vol Up button which boots into recovery mode; however this works only when connected to a power source, the moment I disconnect the power cable the phone switches off.
I tried to install Honor 6 custom ROM EMUI4.0 using TWRP. Need guidance on the below two scenarios.
1. TWRP only recognises .zip files. HONOR custom ROMs are in .app format. What should I do?
2. As a work around, I have downloaded 'Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C432B820_Channel-Others.zip' from xda forum and tried installing it, but TWRP throws a 'no md5 file found' error.
To address this I tried using WinMD5.exe to get the MD5 code and manually created a .MD5 file, but TWRP did not recognise it. Please guide.

You need to flash stock recovery first, by executing this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
@sampathnayak09
Make sure your power button is working correctly. If the files can be flashed successfully, you should be able to boot into recovery.
Honor firmware can only be flashed using three button method. You can search online for making .zip from .app but I am not sure that will solve your problem.

There are rollback packages for going back. I have read those threads on XDA but could not find them again. Will look for them and will send you a link as soon as I found one.

Thanks for the reply.
If I extract the recovery.img from the B831 Rom Package & flash the same using the below command will it give me back my stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And if once I am on Stock Recovery I hope I can again Install a full fresh copy of the B831 Package which will be with Stock Recovery i.e NO TWRP Recovery & root free. And after that when I get the rollback package I can revert back to B570. Pls advice am I going right or is there any possibility that I will brick my phone.

If the phone keeps going off you tried charging for a while? Battery might not be charging due to no OS.

My honor 6 bricked about a month ago so can not verify this method but to get out of bootloop, always keep a nandroid backup of your device somewhere safe.
You can make a nandroid backup using twrp. Save it to SD card and then copy it to your PC to keep it safe.

Hi,
I did flash the stock recovery, but my phone keeps rebooting and doesn't get into recovery mode.
I am sure it has sufficient battery charge. (Close to 90%).
Is there a way to do a clean install on Android phones? Like the way we install Windows OS on computers. Format hard disks, create partitions and then install a fresh OS?
Thanks

Find attached below the required links for Rollback package & TWRP.
1) https://club.hihonor.com/in/honor6.217/downgrade-link-from-marshmallow-b831-to-lollipop-b570.7935
2) https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor6.html
Regarding TWRP, it lets you install custom roms & other apps which cannot be installed thru stock recovery e.g Xposed Framework. Further TWRP is useful for restoring the phone as it allows to restore the phone by using Nandroid backups taken earlier, provided the Nandroid backups are stored in SD Card. There may be more advantages which I am still trying to find out.

Give it a couple of tries. Users have suggested that it usually gets stuck somewhere but trying for 2,3 times gets the job done.

Let me know which Rom version is your phone running now & which version you are trying to migrate to.
Also if 3 button Force update is not working then you can try the project menu option.
But first let me know what state your phone is currently in.
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.
**also mean to mention that erecovery will not work either. it always says download failed

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.

Try to flash twrp first , later flash stock recovery from twrp by clicking on flash image . Be sure u are installing a working recovery but not a corrupted one
Hey,
what a day, searching whole night how to get my phone back to life but nothing is happening. Somehow i did managed to birck my mi4c. I tried to install custom ROM with TWRP I think 'miui_MI4c_7.1.20_e887ff73d2_7.0' it finished like in 2minutes and asked me about rebbot or wipe data. Choosed reboot and only mi logo appeared.
Since then I cannot go back to recovery TWRP i had 0.3.1.0.0 version(did update today previous one was old like 0.2.8.3.0).
My phone previously was running on cyanogenmoed 12.1**with anroid 5.1.1.
The only options i have now i to go in fastboot.
Somehow ADB dont find any device now, tried all kind of versions and still the same.
I have no luck with xiaomiflash/miflash either, the program finds my device but dont flash it.
Tried too with many versions (old and new ones) but no luck....
Error:
The system cannot find the file specified .(0x800700002: flash_all_except_storage.bat)
Tried with all three options (flash all, flash all except storage, flash all except data and storage) but is giving me the same error..
I did download a few images .tgz
libra_images_7.1.4_20170104.0000.00_7.0_cn_a4e850e718
libra_images_6.1.7_20151221.0000.11_5.1_cn
libra_images_V8.2.3.0.NXKCNEC_20170407.0000.00_7.0_cn
Check for space extracted with winrar, renamed too...still same old problem.
Tried to solve with the QFIL (Qualcomm_Flash_Image_Loader), but I cant see my device there...
Drivers I think are correct one (I think)
I think i did something stupid**(
Or I dont understand what i am exactly doing...
I would really appriciated any kind of help, thanks!!!!

But in fastboot mode you DO NOT use the ADB command, only "fastboot.exe" (on Windows). Do the following:
get fastboot
extract "fastboot.exe" and the DLL files to the folder with flash_all_except_storage.bat
run flash_all_except_storage.bat
:good:
SOLVED!!
with this en . miui . com /thread-255776-1-1 . html and Minimal ADB and Fastboot
then i flashed it.
Now that i installed this ROM 8.2.3, it contains half english chinese apps and ofc no google apps which for me is useful.
I did unlock it via miflash_unlock(asked for unlock some days ago), and then uploaded twrp recovery.
But when I go in recovery mode there is some chinese words and three options (screen is blue-black), you can select via up and down volume and confirm with power button.
No idea why there isnt a twrp recovery.
thanks!!
Congratulations!
SOLVED!......
So hello guys, I am 17 year old, amateur in this mobile topic . My mobile is honor 8 with android 7.0
I unlocked my boot loader and then I tried to flash the TWRP thorugh the fastboot. It didn´t work. Everytime when the mobile was starting I finished on the screen that told me :"your device is unlocked...., your device is starting..." just the normal window when you have bootloader unlocked. I couln´t get into anything. I tried multiple twrps and then I found one called like twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563 that worked for me and everything was ok.
But yesterday I wanted to unroot the phone. I read here how to do that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-to-stock-locked-t3509004
But everytime I wanted to start through stock recovery.img (that was downloaded in update.app from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/models-stock-firmware-packages-honor-8-t3501942) nothing happen.
Still the window with the message your device is starting. I coun´t get elwhere then bootloader mode. When I flashed the twrp-3.1.1-1-frd again, it worked normal. But I still wanted to get stock.
I didn´t know what to do so I scrolled down the same site and found this:
"Extract the update.app use this attachment
take Boot , Recovery , Data , System .
Go to ur Fast-boot Folder move this Files inside it .
Open Terminal or CMD throw Admin Rights inside the folder
make sure ur device with fast-boot mode before connecting ur cable to ur device
and make sure u have drivers installed
Type in CMD
Fastboot flash Boot boot.img
Fastboot flash Recovery Recovery.img
Etc .. flash all .imgs
Last type fastboot oem lock <YourPersonalUnlockCodeHere> ( THIS ONLY IF U LIKE TO LOCK AGAIN !)
fastboot Reboot . unplug cable and hope Work Fine ."
So I did what is written there I extracted those img files from update.app and flashed them ...... Now even if I put twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img nothing happen I am stuck there only thing I can do is to boot to bootloader mode or be in the windew that is telling me device is starting....
And what would I want is to unstuck and go stock again.
Thank you in advance for your reply and sorry for the english.
How did I solve. I flashed twrp in recovery2 too, this solved it and mobile booted. THX for help guys.

I dont understand what you meant. the twrp-3.1.1-1frd.img doesn´t work for me at the moment it worked but since I did what I wrote it stopped working.
I cant get even in recovery mod.

U can install even with root . It will bring back all the files to stock .dont worry about current system. It will be updated with the file in update.app and all ur changes to system will be erased
Update/Solved:
Currently the only way for people who deleted their OS completely in this phone model X00HD/ZC520KL is to restore the official firmware.
You can ask for a backup recovery folder in XDA Forums ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...help?nocache=1) if you do not have made a backup with people who have the same phone model. You must have TWRP previously installed and bootloader unlocked. Flashing the official firmware via .zip files is not working with twrp, you must restore the folder. After having the files needed, your recovery folder will not appear on the RESTORE section so follow this simple tutorial to make it appear there (https://youtu.be/trlG3ZxwQxI)
This method will bring your phone back to life if you're stuck in TWRP Recovery Mode with "No OS installed". This method is working and it's the only way for you to use your phone again until developers create custom ROM's for this model.
DEVICE INFO:

Hello, I tried your solution. It did not work. I keep getting Error Number 7 when flashing the ROM. Plus I also tried to delete the assert line in the uptader-script of the ROM you gave me the link after learning from a tutorial how to solve Error Number 7 and after that I got another error: Invalid Zip Format. I don't know what do to more, is this ROM link really compatible with my device? I need urgent help.

Thanks for the attention. I already tried tons of ROM's including the official one for this phone. I keep getting Error Number 7. Sometimes when I force an installation editing the uptader-script file it seems everything is working fine, but at the end of the ROM flash process the phone reboots and goes back to TWRP like everything had never happened. I have never seen a successful feedback, just the "Failed" message or a unexpected reboot that goes back to TWRP.
I don't know what do you mean with unlocking bootloader as I have no ROM installed and always I turn ON my phone I go to TWRP automatically. My TWRP version is 3.1.1.

Not working, as I said before, I've already tried to solve this Error. Either 3 things happen: the installation seems to be running good but at some point the device automatically reboots to it's original condition of TWRP (Liniage OS flash and after editing the file to solve Error Number 7 + I get a message saying "Invalid zip format" (Official Asus Firmware flash after editing the file to solve Error Number 7) + I get Error Number 7.
Backup ROM
Hi, I have the same model and I have TWRP as well. I think I can make backup of my ROM an upload it so you can install it on your phone, would that work for you?

Hello @pantarz, yes, give me your backup ROM you have in your phone, it should work on mine. I'm really thankful to see people like this these days. Just need the .zip file for the ROM. Thanks in advance.
Currently the only way for people who deleted their OS completely in this phone model X00HD/ZC520KL is to restore the official firmware.
You can ask for a backup recovery folder in XDA Forums ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-4-max/help?nocache=1) if you do not have made a backup.

Hi @ANDROIDMASTER67, @pantarz I also break my phone ZC520KL ( X00HD ). It shows "no os installed" and "error 7" when I try to install a ROM.
Can you please help me fix my phone? If there is a backup that I can get please let me know.
Many thanks in advance.
I've managed to fix it by doing the following:
Copy the original recovery from a firmware package.
I could find one in the file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474829889, location /Asus_Zenfone_4_Max_ZC520KL_20171225/Firmware/recovery.img
Load default recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery/original-recovery.img
Restart to bootloader
fastboot reboot bootloader
Load flashboot mode
choose the option "update using adb"
ensure that adb can locate devices with
adb devices
load firmware with
adb sideload UL-ASUS_X00HD-WW-14.2016.1805.374-user.zip ( try download from: https://www.beritahuaja.com/2018/11/download-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-4-max-zc520kl.html )
Easy way with only fastboot
1. Get adb and fastboot drivers
2. go to this page h ttps://addrom.com/raw-rom-for-asus-zenfone-4-max-zc520kl/ Dowload the original firware
3. Extract the files inside the your disc C:Adb
4. Go to your celphone and enter in fastboot mode... then conect the celphone to your computer ... then use cmd " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" .. this is for restore the original recovery if you have twrp.. if you dont have it , its no neccesary ..
5. in fastboot mode , go to Inside the firware search flashall_AFT.bat , double clik , wait until finish
6. go to recovery mode wipe/factory reset and tadaaaa! Your Os is restore again :bueno:
