What android version are you on? Have you tried flashing stock recovery? Which twrp are you using? Are sure that you did not flash twrp on the wrong partition?

I was using Paranoid android 7.1 i believe but i wiped the phone so there is no Android at all at the moment, i tried updating to the latest twrp since i was getting error 7 trying to flash the stock room, stock recovery just says "failed to get information from the server" every time and for last i did flash it in the right partition, every comand i execute in fastboot it gives me that error and it's also important to mention that i can't find my phone in "adb devices" only in "fastboot devices". I saw some people using the Dload get the stock system back maybe thats an option? i dont know i feel completely lost.
Thanks for the reply

Are you able to boot inside TWRP at this moment? And also what is this "latest twrp" that you said that your were flashing. I believe if the TWRP stays loading forever, it means that it does not work for the device.
Make sure your trying to flash this TWRP for nougat:

1. Download the update.zip of the stock rom
2. Extract the update.zip of the stock rom
3. Make a folder named "dload" on your sdcard
4. Place the UPDATE.APP on the dload folder
5. Press volume up + volume down + power button until Huawei logo appears

In the old nougat days, Ive had the same problem. As I always say, dont use twrp on honor 8. They all suck! Anyways, did you tried eRecovery?
Or you should be able to dload a proper firmware in all cases. You just need to find the right package. It fixed me the same problem in the past.

I realised you said that you updated your TWRP and you cant get in. Did you tried different buttons? I remember some of twrps had volume up + power button and some had volume down and power button and some had vol up and down and power button. Try everything. The frp lock is probably because it somehow disabled oem unlocking by itself. I am gonna try to find a link for latest nougat for you. Good luck man!
EDIT: You should try to relock yor bootloader and unlock it again.

Could you try to follow this guide to see if it works:
https://www.stechguide.com/downgrade-honor-8-from-nougat-to-marshmallow/
It may lead your to marshmallow but hopefully it makes the device works. You are going to need the B131 update.zip and flashing rollback package (the site has rollback package download) using dload first before flashing the B131's update.app using dload.
So basically:
1. Flash the rollback package's update.app using dload
2. Flash update.app from B131's update.zip using dload
Once your in marshmallow, you can go back to nougat because there should be at least a twrp for honor 8 marshmallow somewhere around xda

I am really sure that this would work because I tried it before and I was able to go to Marshmallow without any software install fails using dload.
So basically:
1. Flash the rollback package's update.app using dload

Huawei P8 (L09) bricked TWRP no OS

I tried to do reset my phone for battery issues. The thing is that it seems i don't have operating system now and i can't flash the phone because TWRP is the only loader and it doesn't recognizes the update app. Any idea to install at least a custom rom via TWRP or any way to unbrick the phone? Thanks. Any other detail you need please ask me. It is the first time i need help to fix a phone.

If you know the version of the rom, simply download that version stock rom and then extract from it the recovery using Huawei extractor tool and flash that recovery using adb. After that put the stock rom in a dload folder and put it on your sdcard or internal memory after that turnoff the device hold power and vol up and vol down at the same to make the flash process start and flash the stock rom. Sorry I am on the road and quite busy otherwise I would have written a detailed guide. But if you Google what I suggested you will find the tools needed to make it work. If still you can't manage to make it work let me know. After 2 days I would be around a pc to write a better guide.

You need to make sure your bootloader is unlocked otherwise it won't work. If your bootloader is indeed unlocked then it could be a PC communication issue try to reinstall drivers of the phone, even better try it on another PC/Laptop with a fresh install of drivers and applications needed.

My bootloader is unlocked
I have tried to install the usb drivers but im not sure if i am currently installing them correctly.
When i type enter fastboot devices i get:
C:\Users\Ebonique\Downloads\fastboot>fastboot devices

C:\Users\Ebonique\Downloads\fastboot>
but when i enter adb devices i get:

List of devices attached

Is there any possibility that you can walk me through installation of the devices? I have a Huawei Gra-L09 (P8)

That's normal, in order to see your device using adb commands it needs to be turned on and working properly also the developer mode needs to be enabled in order to see your device code serial number so in other words it's not possible at your current situation.
Regarding the device drivers just connect the device to the PC and let it auto install the drivers needed make sure Hisuite package is installed before that.
The only commands you can use at your current case with the phone in bootloader mode is only fastboot commands. So just try to flash the stock recovery like before and hopefully it will work out. If it does try to flash the same stock rom using the dload method. I cannot at the Moment give you a step by step I am really sorry but if you google the things you need you will find it easily.
Edit:
Similar issue maybe it can help you.

Thank you very much for the link it actually helped me and I was able to fix my phone.
I had no clue which stock version my phone came with so I downloaded all and then use the dload method. The phone was able to update to its original form.
I Really appreciate all of your responses, thank you once again.

Huawei P8 Max DAV703 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0 64 GB chinese variant trying to convert to EU
Well I hope that it isn't completely FUBAR.. I know there has to be a way, but i forget how.
No fastboot, no adb support.. no recovery, no bootloader.. fastboot was only available through software.
I have hard reset which has reset it to bootloop, and I have system upgrade that whatever I do, crashes at 5%
Basically, I bricked my Huawei.
I partially rooted it with kingoroot without doing anything..
but other apps saw it as unrooted so i was going to do the proper way, unlock bootloader, etc..
Then I discovered the Huawei SRK tool for bootloader/kernel/recovery etc.
Checked if my bootloader was unlocked, it was..
restarted the phone, it was fine
Then I was going to flash the recovery, and that's when it went into a bootloop
Like always.. just the logo shows, and if i try to turn it off, it restarts.
Huawei P8 Max DAV703 Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0
hard reset works - pressiing vol up down and power pushes it into hard reset but it stays in bootloop.
usb in, vol down power - puts into update mode which stops at 5% with error.
My next idea would be to try and extract the necessary files and try to use the Huawei update extractor tool
but after trying many update files, I can't find the one that would work, unless it will just keep crashing at 5% always.
Would anyone know what I could do in this situation?

i have TWRP running on the phone. i just want to go back to stock OS. please help how do i do this?

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

oh my god ok now it is stuck at blue honor screen for an hour after update installed automatically without pressing anything. i just pressed volume and power buttons and it started updating. no menu was provided
now it says your device failed verificitaion
so now the bootloader is locked again and the update installed, but it still doesn't boot and when i try to update again it says verification failed

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.

Honor v 10 softbricked!?

Under AICP14 i had significant problems with Bluetooth, so I'm back to the latest pie version via erecovery ... all right. Then in preparation for root in TWRP noticed that data is again encrypted. So reset to factory settings via twrp, rebooted into the TWRP3.2.3-3 and formatted data with yes. Thereafter, on the screen was "formatting done," but down the blue animation was still running around, about 10 minutes, apparently hung. Since I could not do anything else, power button long pressed and booted again into the TWRP, but the hangs at the entrance screen, probably clear in the unsuccessful attempt to decrypt data. The Erecovery with the ability to restore the system and the stock recovery is not reachable for me, with everything I've tried. Fastboot is still to reach ... When booting the device will always hang at the inscription "The device is booted" ...has someone an idea? ? Thanks for thinking!
How to restore erecovery? It was pie, latest version installed from erecovery on the device before this crash...
Flash the erecovery partition. Extract the IMG from the update.zip file and flash the same.

I Managed to extract ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img and ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img header... i also extracted SYSTEM.img/header and RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img/header frum the update.app
Is it correcht to follow this syntax:
fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img
to reflash the erecovery? btw. i dont know the exact version of the firmware i installed, it was yesterday i think it had been BKL-L09 (9.0.0.233) C432E4R1P12 , but i cant find that as an update.zip. So i took BKL-L09C432E4R1P8B108-log (9.0.0.108) and extracted the files from there...

or should i flash to recovery_ramdisk not to Erecovery_ramdisk?

Is your bootloader still unlocked? There was a guide i posted in v10 section for going back to stock if that's what you are interested.

i try to come back to erecovery to install latest Emui 9, and from that point i want to return to AICP14...
@edit: I got it following this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78752217&postcount=22
i reached erecovery and i´m installing 9.0.0233 via wifi.... hope it wil run til its completed
The most ****ty problem comes if you want to remove the idiotic encryption via formatting data partition in twrp with the red "yes" ...
Thanks to shashank1320!

Need help for soft brick (eRecovery not working)

What I have done
I unlocked the bootloader of my Honor 6x using the testpoint method
I installed TWRP and Magisk
I decided that I was not satisfied with the stock OS and wanted to install a custom ROM
I forgot to make a backup using TWRP before flashing
I tried to flash LineageOS but it did not work and caused a bootloop (the boot animation shows for about 5 minutes and then reboots)
Using Huawei eRecovery to restore the device was not possible, and it returns the message of "Getting package info failed".
This is likely due to the website "http://update.hicloud.com/" being down
Cannot download any stock ROMs as the downloads I found are all from "http://update.hicloud.com/"
This is the only thread I found about the website being down: link
After some digging I found an old ROM (EMUI 4) that I can use, and flashed it using TWRP
The system booted up just fine after that, but the system looked really old and I wanted to update it
I found an update file and tried to install it using the dload method, which installed through the Huawei recovery just fine.
The phone rebooted and now bootloops to the Huawei eRecovery everytime.
I thought of flashing TWRP again so that maybe I can flash the old rom again, but it does not work and returns the following errors.
command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
Questions
What can I do in this situation with only have access to fastboot commands and the Huawei eRecovery?
Should I just wait for the update website to come back up so that the eRecovery will work and I can install the latest OS from there? Will that ever happen?
hey i can help ! which version of twrp are you trying to flash ?

The update website isn't going to come back anytime soon. But if you just don't mind opening your device again(you need to access the test point), there's a fix. this method doesn't just need anything. even if your device is hard bricked, it can get you back running. This was described in a youtube video with working links based on a forum on xda.

I got a similar problem recently but I flashed update.zip of emui 8 - > Bootlooped - > factory reset with twrp - > successfully booted but doesn't get past the setup screen. Fix : flashed a gsi treble image(based on android 10) - > working perfect except for camera and volte.

My bad , I thought the update website to be huawei's official one(something like update.hicloud and all isn't it?). Well, thanks for the information but I still prefer gsi. It's buttery smooth .
And one more thing, if you follow the youtube video I mentioned, you don't need any gsi. You can get your device back on stock EMUI 5.

Hey I have a doubt... Will the recoveries we find in twrp official website / app work on EMUI 8? I wanted to try them but I'm afraid I might brick my device again. Getting it back is a hectic thing and I already had to face it thrice. LOL .

Well, just clear these things:
Is your bootloader still unlocked?
Did you try using another recovery image instead of the one you are getting error for?

My bootloader is still unlocked, yes. However, I did not try to flash another recovery image, as I was not sure where I could find one that worked. I forgot which image I used at first but it had worked the first time, so that was why I did not bother finding a different recovery. Do you have a suggestion for a recovery to install?

I'm attaching one that works with emui 8 try using it (Remember you have to flash it to recovery_ramdisk).
Well after reading your post 1 again, I think there's no such partition as recovery_ramdisk(because it will be there only from android 8). So find a recovery in google which works on hi6250 devices with emui 4. That should work. Update me with the result

So I have tried many different recoveries, such as ones for EMUI 4 and 5 and flashing directly to recovery, which gave me an error "image verification failed", and flashing an EMUI 8 to ramdisk would give me the same error as before. I think the partitions on this device is really messed up lol. Also, when I type fastboot reboot recovery, it would just get stuck at the loading screen, so does that mean there is no working recovery installed?

Maybe yes. Did you try directly booting the image without flashing?

Well as you said, you partitions must have been really messed up. I have no other ideas except the test point method.
Are you trying anything else?
Ok we have some option that could help you...
Im read in the 4PDA (the russian XDA xD) forum that it should be possible to flash the oeminfo by fastboot command. So just download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng and expand it. Then go to 7 or 8 Folder and there you go to oeminfo folder. There you choose the right one for your Device and local area...for example BLN-L21 (Device) C432 (European Area)
Extract the file to your desktop and rename it to BLN-L21C432.img
--->be sure that you have the right Device driver installed and the right ADB driver for your device to<---
ok now Copy and Paste the BLN-L21C432.img to ADB folder and start command with admin rights
start the phone into fastboot mode
--->bootloader must be unlocked<---
in the command
fastboot flash oeminfo BLN-L21C432.img
wait for the result and it can not hurt to pray a bit in this moment...hihi
if this have success...you type in command
fastboot reboot
wait to the screen you can press 3 seconds Vol+ to go into erecovery....connect to wlan and it should work step by step like it should.
after download and recover the stock rom reboot and go again to erecover by press Vol+ for 3 seconds and now go to the second option...wipe data/factory reset and write yes+enter
in stock recovery wipe Data after that wipe Cache...reboot and wait that system boot the initial boot for first setup.
If this will not working...tell me what honor 6x you have and wich local area you are from and wich firmware you stock had before you doing wronng
good luck bro
