Blank P8max, advice please ?

Hello everyone,
well I really don't know how to start without embarrassing myself so here it goes. Somehow I managed wipe everything from my Huawei P8max. Completely everything. The phone was rooted before and I decided to update it and I erased everything. I can still flash it with the official root tool or official recovery but that's about it.
Right now I'm on official recovery and when I press volume + volume - and power button it says "Software install failed! The update package does not exist. Please download the package again."
I tried searching for firmware almost everywhere with no luck (including Huawei site)
I got no clue how to fix it I'm a noob, anyone can help me please?
Phone is DAV-703L
Best Regards,
E.

Download software here: http://www.needrom.com/download/p8max-dav-703l/ then put the update app in dload and flash it via recovery.

Thank you guys, you rock ! :good: :good: :good:
Just finished installing the OS and all the updates. Google play store was gone so I downloaded it.
Any idea how can I get rid off the Chinese letters/descriptions, there is quite a few of them. I did search the forum and didn't find anything unless I missed it.
Last question, can I root the phone using the old method ?
Thanks both of you !

You probably need to setup the locale.
try this: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=locale&fdid=com.sweetiepiggy.everylocale
or this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.locale

thanks
Thank you, the first link didn't work for me (permission denied) so I switched to 2nd one.
For some reason Play Store is getting uninstalled on it's own every few hours and I started reinstalling it with Titanium backup. Annoying.

Issue with MT7 TL10

Please help me. i got stuck my phone. My phone was runing on lillipop 324 and i have downloaded marshmallow 511, put that in dload and applied local update. i have made the mistake that i didn't notice at that time that this update is for 326. my phone restarted for applying marshmallow update. status of update was successful but during powering on phone got stuck on Huawei logo and this time continuosly restarting. i have tried so many thing. I have tried to flash back 324 but failed on 5%. I have tried again 511 update that may be some files got missed, the status of that comes successful every time. i have tried to roll back my phone using this 6 mb and 9mb files by three buttons methoud but failed on 5%. Pease guide me urgently phone does not even power off, continuosly attemting to restart and not go further as logo appears. either it is restarting or i can put it in hard reset mode screen. no other option. i am also scared that its battery would be drained. please help me.

There's nothing you can do right now. There are plenty of mate 7 owners here who have bricked

Then what is the solution to it? I am follwoing the thread u mentioned.

Like the rest of those with bricked Mate 7 phones after failed update to B511,
you just have three options:
1) Wait for HUAWEI to release the official marshmallow to lollipop downgrade package for your region (you will use this to go back to lollipop),
2) Wait for the FINAL MARSHMALLOW (not beta) release from HUAWEI so you can install the final, full marshmallow release (not beta) or
3) Send your phone to a service center (assuming the service center personnel in your area are well versed with Huawei software).
Some service centers replace the internal memory assembly of the phone so you get can get back to kitkat. (They then send the bricked memory
assembly of your phone to more competent service centers.)
Sorry, it's really a waiting game for now unless option 3 works for you.
(Many Huawei service centers are really incapable/not competent enough to solve bricked software/firmware problems on the Mate 7.)

It's not Huawei fault that you flashed BETA firmware that is for BETA testers and you find that firmaware on xda forum leaked by some of BETA testers.
And second thing you should read to know from which version you can update.

Hi, every few days I come back here and I find new bricked mate 7 and a frustrated and desperate owner, but I also find defenders of Huawei , most probably those with their phones running well, trying to put the blame on us who chose to brick their phones !! Well, as far as I know if a respectable company have good numbers of customers sharing a major problem that disabled their phones, they will try to help them not to blame them and dump them. So for you, please get over it, I know it is hard but you have to get over it , buy a new phone , it will make you feel better and keep your phone till a solution surface. Don't waste your time , nothing ever will work now.

I was able to partially fix my phone by 1.) flashing TWRP 2.) advanced wiping the system 3.) restoring TWRP backup all with the help of Blue.Ember

Can it get to recovery so you can connect via adb and unlock it so it can be rooted? If so, you could then flash custom recovery and then flash a custom ROM. If that worked you could try to flash it back to standard and start again.
A lot of time and trouble though.
People need to STOP flashing their Mate 7 until something reliable is offered.
Kitkat is not so bad.....

Good news for those with bricked mate 7 phones!
(For those with unrooted, locked Mate 7 phones on boot loop.)
There are new OFFICIAL marshmallow to lollipop downgrade/rollback packages

Check out his thread below:

Hopefully it will work for your bootlooping L09/TL10 phones.

Huawei Mate 8 help needed please - "software install failed"

Hi All,
I am struggling to force update my Huawai mate 8.
Current running on version NXT-DL00 8.0.0.839(C17)
I am unable to use WIFI update as my WIFI has not worked for a long time to perform hard reset/recovery.
I do not have USB Debugging enabled and at present I am unable to enable this as my digitizer also does not want to work.
The EMUI gets to around 5% and then I receive the error
Software Install Failed
and refers me to the below link which is of no use.
https://consumer.huawei.com/cn/emui/?mod=restore
I have tried a number of firmware downloads and nothing gets any further.
The reason I am trying to update is to hopefully get my digitizer working again, I have already fitted a new one and this did not fix it so I do not believe it is a hardware issue.
Any suggestions at all would be appreciated.
This is a really good phone and I do not want to just chuck it in the bin, I have purchased a Mate 20 Lite as the replacement but would prefer to get my old one working again and use it as I miss it
Many thanks in advance for your support

Sorry can't help you further mate..because if you wanna use HurUpdater and Hwota you need to unlocked bootloader and have TWRP installed..

Resolved - L29C567B190->Build NRD90M Test-keys-> DLOAD fix fails -> Now Boot Looping

Resolved - L29C567B190->Build NRD90M Test-keys-> DLOAD fix fails -> Now Boot Looping
I've been working on the path to have my Mate 9 unlocked, rebranded, and to Pie.
I followed this guide. Not sure why, but I ended up with this:
TWRP Recovery (expected thisi)
Not upgraded to Oreo (unexpected)
Build: NRD90M Test-keys (unexpected and problematic)
I've read that I need to re-install the MHA-L29C567B190 again.
So, I attempted 2-3 times with different downloaded (supposedly MHA-L29C567B190) firmwares to just use TWRP to upgrade. All failed. So, I decided to put a DLOAD directory with the files required onto my SD card and upgrade from the Project Menu.
Of course, I had to reinstall the default recovery to do that. I did that using fastboot.
So at this point, I'm thinking I can do the reinstall of MHA-L29C567B190. So, I did this:
Launched Project Menu (*#*#2846579#*#*)
Select 4. Software Update
1. SDCard Upgrade
Phone restarts and starts the upgrade
I get this message
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I presume I get that error because NRD90M Test-keys doesn't even have any compatible versions. I am certain I downloaded the files for MHA-L29C567B190.
Anyone have any suggestions how I can reinstall the Nouget MHA-L29C567B190 over NRD90M Test-keys?
If I can get that fixed, I can struggle again with rebranding.
Any help appreciated.

So, I went out and studied the rebrand instructions, and finally found that I misspelled the HWOTA directory on the SD Card. So I ran that again.
This time it appeared to be working on the install of the 432 software at the end of the process. But it failed for some reason.
Now I'm in a boot loop. My very first. Should I celebrate my first?
So, now on a search to find how to get out of the boot loop. I've tried the various options I do have from the boots into recovery. Exact naming of process I list below may not be accurate, but you'll probably get the idea:
Tried the option to download latest version and image...failed
Tried doing a factory reset...failed
Tried following the rebrand process once more. same results.

Update on attempt to fix bootloop...
I followed this article to repair. I downloaded a fresh c567b190 file, and copied the update.app into dload. Did a force install per the instructions...it failed.
I had another one from a different download site. It failed.
I tried a 432 file from what I was trying to rebrand to. It failed. I do find it interesting that supposedly same files downloaded from different sites are different sizes. As well, some instructions say to only copy update.app to dload, and others say to copy entire set of files/folders that are in the file that update.app is in.
Beginning to worry this phone is toast.
I'm going to search out other 'remedies'.
[EDIT]
I'm pretty sure that the build showing as NRD90M is causing my problems. I suspect the bootloader is checking against the version and "nothing is compatible" with it. So being in a bootloop with the additional problem of wrong build identification is making this difficult.

I don't know if anyone after weekend will see this and/or have any suggestions, but I'll keep updating as I learn things or stumble onto new obstacles.
I do have some success to express.
I used this thread and it got me booted, into Oreo, and a good build.
BUT...(as always)
The instructions on that thread are to unbrick, and install the rebrand files at the same time. However, during the TWRP Install process (after getting Oreo 8.0.0.046(0409) installed. It was supposed to boot into TWRP after installing it, and do that update.
But, yet another error: during TWRP install attempt, got an error about partition size (don't recall if it was too long or short or what. If anyone needs to know to help me get past this I can run it again).
So, the batch file was waiting at a prompt for me to load TWRP so it could continue. But no TWRP. So I found a TWRP for Oreo, and installed it. I then hit the ENTER key for it to continue, but it didn't.
I loaded Firmware Finder on the phone, and it found nothing to work with it. I have no idea what Oreo 8.0.0.046(0409) is even for, or what region it would be from. Can't find it even with Google.
So, here's what I need help with
What's the best way to get to MHA-L29 C432(Europe). Would it be as simple as adding my l29 model in FF, downloading c432, and installing via TWRP? Another way better?
I think I'm off of the keyboards and phone for a while. It's been quite a chase.
Hopefully I'll get some feedback early next week on how to progress.

I as thinking I had the right firmware, MHA-L29C432B194. But as I think about it, I didn't get that from FF. When I add a model of MHA-L29C432B194 in FF, and search, I find it, but I'm not sure which one I need. I understand I need FullOTA-MF-PV for dload. What is there is FULLOTA-MF, and OTA-MF . I suspect it depends on which method of install I use.
I"m thinking about trying booting to TWRP, and 'install' the ZIPS for the firmware. But I haven't seen confirmation that will work. I don't want to end up in another bootloop.

at the end what u want to do ? tell me ?

I have fixed the bootloop problem from a search that I found a tutorial. The problem now is that it left me on an Orea that oeminfo (cust) is lost. It's not recognized as a valid rom.
I have another thread that has migrated to this topic. I think someone there is gathering tools for me.
I apparently need to downgrade to Nouget, and start over my efforts to migrate to c432, which then will auto upgrade me to Pie. Problem so far at this point is finding a good HWOTA8 file. All searches I find that have links are dead links.

if someone gather it let him work. give me what exacly rom u need, full name

Sorry. I am not getting the email notifications of updates. Apparently sometime in the past, I opened a different account here with my current email. It won't let me update my email address here as it is used in that other account. I've tried the Forgot password thing, but the reCAPTCHA just circles and circles and never lets me make the request.
Back on topic: I got it all worked out. I had another thread on topic of the beginning of my process that was pretty much done. But conversation struck back up, and it continued on to a fix for this problem. It's a bit lengthy, and I learned a lot there, thanks to @zgfg.
If anyone wants to see how this was resolved, you can start at Post # 60 at this thread.
Thanks folks for your input here.

Where can i get stock rom for Honor 8 FDR-L19C432B120 or something similar?

I need to reset my phone (not just factory reset or hard reset, but also the OS, so i need the rom image). Also I am a newbie, so can you also explain step by step how i would go about reinstalling android for my honor 8? I have heard that there is this thing called the bootloader lock which locks you out of putting on a custom rom, but i have heard that it still should work when installing official rom. I have tried this (very scetchy) link: http://huawei-firmware.com/?load_page=search&q=&page=1 and then: http://huawei-firmware.com/rom/huawei-honor-8/frd-l19/4160 and then that download link just goes to a page where you need to wait a set amount and then finally here: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1276/g104/v61398/f1/full/update.zip , but that page right now atleast just displays "An error occurred.", because i think that the website is down for some reason according to this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/is-update-hicloud-com-down.4239623/#post-84561851 . Does someone have the rom? Thanks in advance for the help!
