Yesterday some sweat got into my Honor 8 (FRD-L09).
As a result, both the Volume and the Power buttons stopped working.
This morning I woke up with the phone locked in bootloop ("Software install failed!").
Every guide to fix this problem expect me to go in Recovery Mode, but without working buttons I don't know if it is possible.

Hi
I have been helping a friend repair their phone after it got water damaged
THe battery has been replaced and the phone boots and can go into Android
I have since Unlocked the bootloader
Installed TWRP
Rooted it
Installed a Cusom Rom
And installed a Custom Kernel with no issue.
So In my eyes this Phone is 100% working
The Problem i am stuck with is that whenever the phone is turned on it goes straight into the Bootloader screen and the Option bit on the top (Start, Recovery, Reboot BootLoader and Power off)
Constantly scrolls through each option as though the volume key is being pressed
if i press the power button as each option appears the phone will boot into the option i have chosen
While in Android all the buttons work correctly.
Vol up and Down and the power either going to sleep or bringing up the power menu.
Any ideas would be a great help
Probably HW related, but not sure

after 3 years did u find any solution. exactly same issue happen today :crying:
Try updating to the latest bootloader. But I assume the buttons get stuck sometimes. Try smacking the buttons s a couple of times. Hope that works.
The other day I realized my volume down button was stuck. So I rebooted and it booted to the bootloader and just cycled through the options. I finally got it to boot but its stuck in safe mode,can't get out of safemode. The phone hasent been exposed to any liquid at all.
Is there a quick fix for this problem? Can I remove the button completely and not even have a volume down button? Thanks
Hi there. The phone is Honor 8 Pro. No one can help in the phone specific threads, so my hope is there is someone smarter here
So long story short I tried to relock the bootloader with twrp installed. The result is the phone is in constant bootloop mode. I can't go to bootloader nor to recovery mode. The phone boots, passes the bluish honor logo and gets stuck on some EMUI logo on a black screen. Fastboot mode is not acccesible, the PC can't detect the phone at all. No combination of buttons pressed works. I also tried the dload method to no avail.
I also waited for the battery to fully drain and tried to hold the volume up button while inserting the USB cable. It doesn't work.
Anybody been in this situation before? Any solution or any ideas, guys?
Hi did you already found a solution for this? I'm experiencing the same problem...
Hi,
I recently tried to install the most recent update (the update was for EMUI 9 I think) on my V10 and it is now stuck in a bootloop. I cannot access recovery mode, when I enter fastboot mode, it says my FRP is locked and my PHONE is locked. I can't flash anything because my bootloader is locked. I have no idea what to do, any help is appreciated although I would rather the solution be free (ie not DC Unlocker or funky Huawei).
I had this once before and I solved it by getting into recovery mode, however, I don't know how I got into recovery mode last time it just happened randomly. I tried Vol up + power button, it does nothing just reboots my phone. I have tried vol up + vol down + power button, the same result.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
so I solved my problem, I let the battery die overnight and in the morning I tried plugging it in and booting into recovery mode (vol up + power button) and after trying several times (and unplugging my phone so it would die then plugging it back in to try again) I finally got it into recovery mode. From there I pressed download and recover and I got my phone back. The only problem now is that I can't update my phone through the official process as it just puts my phone back into the bricked state. Hope this helps anyone else who was in this situation.
Since the problem is caused by an official OTA, I recommend to send it to the service center

Yeah, I resorted to this last night and called them up for repairs. They were going to take it in but I now fixed my phone (look at my edit in the original post for info).
Thanks for your help though.
I'm glad that you've found a solution
Same issue but no luck for me.
No repair center because my bootloader is unlocked.

Try edl flash
**Edit** I managed to fix it. I'm an idiot. My case was preventing me from pressing/holding the buttons well. In a list ditch effort while setting up my OG Pixel XL i took the case off my oneplus 7 and the button combinations worked.
Can't get into recovery mode or bootloader mode. I believe I bricked it while trying to get newest OTA installed. OTA was failing so I was trying to return my phone to completely stock. Everything was fine until I hit complete uninstall on magisk and it rebooted my phone. I'm using magisk 19.2, newest stable release.
The only thing I see now is the one plus power on logo, then message about bootloader being unlocked. Pressing volume up+power button will get the phone to power on but never loads to bootloader mode, only a black screen after the warning screen about having an unlocked bootloader shows.. Volume down+power and volume up/down+power do nothing.
Any advice on this would be appreciated before I send it in for an RMA
