Hey guys
having some problem flashing a stock system.img to my phone. I try to get back to Mashmellow to get my phone back to stock. Currently its rooted and unlocked.
I downloaded the following zip:
Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L09_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B131_Western Europe.zip
I unzipped it and extracted all Images from the UPDATE.APP file.
Flashing cust.img, recovery.img, and recovery2.img is no problem. Problem is when flashing system.img
It always says
Code:
[[email protected] honor8]# fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' 1/6 (435393 KB)...
OKAY [ 11.022s]
writing 'system' 1/6...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 11.056s
[[email protected] honor8]#
[[email protected] honor8]# fastboot --version
fastboot version 7.1.1_r13
Phone is unlocked
FRP is unlocked
Flashing recovery works:
Code:
[[email protected] Downloads]# fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-frd.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (24884 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.630s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.327s]
finished. total time: 0.957s
TWRP tells me, that it cannot mount system. When restoring a backup with TWRP it works: it writes the system to the flash.
After restore I can reboot into Android again. Unfortunately I tried to installe the latest OTA (B380) which bricked my camera for some reason and makes the system itself kinda buggy.
Does anyone have an idea, how I get out of this situation?
Current Version: FRD-L09C432B360
It won't work this way. I wasted so much time trying. You have to use the rollback procedure to get your phone working again. Search the forum for it, it's been documented pretty well. Good luck
So I have an Honor 8 FRD-L04 that I was trying to root today. I flashed TWRP and all was good. Until I tried to install SuperSU using TWRP. It said my data partition wasn't able to be found or something, I can't remember. So I did some quick Googling and tried some fixes (changing the partition format to FAT and back to EXT4, etc). This just screwed it up even more. So here's the scenario:
*Can't access ADB anymore, doesn't show up in devices
*Can access fastboot, however:
I usually get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" when I try to do any commands (bootloader is unlocked). Because of this, I can't flash extracted .IMG files.
*eRecovery tells me "Getting Package Info Failed"
*Don't have access to TWRP anymore
*Have tried multiple firmwares using the dload method, either they can't install or simply do nothing
*I've tried Huawei Multi Tool and got the following output:

I've probably tried a few other things, but I'm just so frustrated I can't remember. If anyone can suggest anything else, I'd greatly appreciate it.
This is really bad. The solution to your first problem was to simply remove encryption by formatting data.

I'm going to cover the basis here, as I've seriously screwed over my phone before but recovered.
If you managed to get the phone responsive with the rollback package try flashing the EMUI 4 package.
If that doesn't work, plug into the computer and press and hold the power and volume down buttons to get into fastboot: unlock oem if possible
let me know if that gets you started.

Hi.
I've been trying to flash twrp my Huawai Mate 8 for a couple of weeks. I keep getting the error I mentioned in the title. The bootloader is unlooked, frp is looked. USB debugging is enabled. OEM is grey.
Android version 7.0, emui version 5.0.1. I've been using the official twrp and used adb files and fastboot from other sources as well as official files. The phone is NOT rooted.
Here is the full message:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I would appreciate any help as this problem has bugged me for so long by now. Thanks!!
So it's my first time ever trying to root a phone and i can't install TWRP on my phone (Mate 10 Lite). My phone has both OEM unlocked and USB debugging on. I'm using ADB to install it.
That's what i get when i type in "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to the command window:

twrp file I'm using: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...s-recoveries--other-development/twrp-t3737747
and the tutorial I followed: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
It's my first time ever doing something like this so please be understanding.
OK so I tried to upadte to OREO with Hurupdater and something went wrong.
So I installed a rollback package - OK
Then tried to install MM and I entered in ERROR MODE
I get Func NO: 8 (hifi image)
Error no: 1 (security verify failed!)
Then I was able to enter in Fastboot recovery mode (after fully discharging the battery).
At this point I unlock the bootloader
fastboot OEM UNLOCK "UNLOCK CODE"
ok
I use Huawei update extractor to get boot, cust, recovery, system and user data from FRD-L04 MM Fw 4.1 found here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-comprehensive-method-to-unbrick-t3632998
I tried to flash cust and recovery but the processes failed (see below)
C:\adb>fastboot flash cust cust.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'cust' (252389 KB)...

FAILED (remote: partition length get error)

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
I heard that in Oreo partitions are different. That might explain the problem but on the other side I flashed a MM rollback already.
Please HELP!!!
Thx
Anyone?
