i bricked my honor, is there anything i can do?

So I had an unlocked H8 with LOS. As I wanted to install EMUI, I put the proper restore Update.app into the dload folder and started Huawei's recovery. Everything went well, I formated data and wanted to install the EMUI 4.1 ROM using the same method.
Unfortunately my H8 is bootlooping and there is now way into erecovery nor any other recovery. It simply reboots on every single known vol up or down key pressing combination. The only thing I can go to is fastboot mode when holding down vol down and plugging in usb wire. But, it says frd locked and I can't install nor boot twrp. It's simply gone and reboots all the time.
Any hints? I can't even turn it off.

I wanted to give away that phone that's the reason. Last time I did it this way, I could flash the EMUI 4.1 since it's signed. But not this time.
Interesting part is, that although fastboot says frd locked, I still get the "phone unlocked" warning on every reboot. dload method isn't working, as it simply keeps rebooting.
It's my hardest brick so far I ever encountered

the same thing happened to me.....on my phone lock/unlocked frp and bootloader were tweaked for some reason(I mean that what was written wasn't the reality) so how did I fix it? I kept on to flash rollback package many times and I tried to unlock/relock bootloader again, at the end the phone let me to flash the firmware, I didn't know how but the phone allowed me to flash things throw recovery(using dload method). At the begin I only could access to erecovery and fastboot. I suppose that I broke system and data partition and while I looked/unlocked the bootloader, the wipe fixed the partition table. Sorry I'm tired and I know that my English sucks, I hope you understand what I have written.

How did you enter erecovery as this isn't working for me.... What did you flash over fastboot?

Have you tried flashing the firmware separately using adb on computer?
For this you just need to extract the Update.app using the firmware extractor for huawei. Then flash them individually using adb commands in cmd.

I can't access any state that would allow to do adb.

sorry. I'll try to explain better, however on Huawei/honor devices there are not one but two recoveries, so one is the normal recovery flashed in recovery partition, the second one is the Huawei recovery that is flashed in recovery2 partition, so if you didn't touch recovery2 partition, your erecovery is still there, now, if you press VOL+ VOL- and POWER it will reboot to recovery2 and it starts to flash something from dload in your sd card, so in my opinion you should do this things, first try this method to flash rollback package(this is the transition package from 7 to 6 and you will find it on honor site) if this is still not working try locking and unlocking again your bootloader(I hope this fix partitions of your device) then try to enter recovery and do a wipe and then boot your device, if this doesn't work flash rollback package(now it would work) and then flash an emui 4 full firmware image, always using dload method. trust me... I did the same... and it worked for me. let me know if it works for you :good:

I ran into this issue not that long ago. What you have to do is relock your bootloader using ADB. The ADB commands and instructions can be found in this thread.
Just a FYI, do not use the links to the software listed in that thread as it is a little outdated. The method still works but the software will probably not work. Just be sure to get the most recent/appropriate version of SuperSU and TWRP via their official threads (This is if you want to re-root). There are Honor 8 specific TWRP files if I remember correctly, so be sure to check around the Honor 8 forums for the correct files.
A quick summary of what I did:
1) Power your phone off and then boot into fastboot by holding Vol down + Power; as soon as it boots up, plug your phone into your combuter via your usb cord.
2) With ADB running, type:
Code:
fastboot oem relock [COLOR="LightBlue"]################[/COLOR]
NOTE: The '#' should be replaced with your unique unlock code that you obtained to unlock your bootloader.
3) Wait for it to format and reset your phone and go through the setup. BE SURE TO BYPASS all google registration; skip everything you can to get into the phone itself. If you do register, it will reactivate FRP and you'll have to start over again.
4) Turn on USB Debugging and every other setting that enables developer administrative navigation and control just to be safe. USB Debugging being the most important one, though.
5) Restart your phone and boot into fastboot again using Vol down + Power.
6) Unlock your phone again with:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock [COLOR="LightBlue"]################[/COLOR]
7) Once the command is entered, it'll reset your phone once more and - as stated before - bypass/skip all google (FRP) registration.
8) Enable developer options and USB debugging again and make sure that OEM Unlocked is checked and grayed out.
9) Reboot into fastboot mode to confirm that FRP is disabled and you should be able to install TWRP now via ADB.

@Numerics thanks. The thing is, that I can't boot anything. I can't even go into eRecovery. Nor can I flash a stock EMUI 4.1. It just boot loops all the time and I can only access fastboot.

If you can flash twrp..........Install los or other Rom ..................Go back to stock.......you must flash b360 ober adb...... because los is 7.1...............if you on b360 you can usw the rollback for emui 4.1........,..............sry for bad english

I can easily go to fastboot. But I can't flash anything. I extracted the img from the update.app but can't flash. It simply says that it's not permitted.

With my method, you don't need to flash anything. Just relock your bootloader via adb in fastboot mode and let it reset. Unless I'm not understanding your issue entirely.

@Numerics as I said, in won't boot anything as it is constantly boot looping. There is no way to access any kind of recovery nor erecovery. There is no boot into Android. The only thing accessible right now is fast boot (which is not ADB). But even in fast boot I can't do anything als operations are not permitted.
after boot looping and starting fast boot mode, I can see a "Android reboot reason" section saying:
AP_S_PANIC
data is invalid
There is still a lineageos installed on system as firmware but as I tried to get rid of it by going back to stock EMUI, I guess Huawei's rollback did something wrong and killed recovery (although I did it in the past successfully).
I tried to run HiSuite to recover my phone, but it just says, that my phone is not supported.
Speaking of this, Huawei messed up with that whole fastboot locking bull****.

No, I know ADB isn't Fastboot. What I'm trying to say is that you should be able to still run ADB via CMD on Windows when you're in fastboot mode to relock your bootloader with the directions I gave in my previous post. It'll force-restore your phone to a non-bricked/vanilla state. At least that is how I fixed mine.
Like... You can't even try using the 'fastboot oem relock ################' function via the ADB console while in fastboot?

yes boy trust us, you haven't a working OS so it is a normal thing that your phone reboot, you cannot access to recovery because some partitions are corrupted (data partition) , so these are the steps that could help you:
1) using fastboot, relock your boot loader
2)using fastboot, unlock your boot loader (partition table would be ok now, and you would be able to use load method to flash things trow stock recovery)
4)put inside your sd card \dload\update.app(use rollback package)
3) press all the buttons while your device is rebooting(do this before the blue screen logo appear), your phone is now looking for something inside your sd card
5) if the next step doesn't work do a factory reset from recovery that now would be working
6) put inside your sd card a full android 6 (emus 4) update.app and pressing all buttons it will install the firmware
7) your device now is locked and back to stock, maybe without cust partition or maybe in test mode but it is certainly alive
8) do a factory reset and reinstall the firmware
9) your phone is now ok

You don't lock the bootloader via ADB but via fastboot.
As I said, northing was restored and nothing is booting and I can't unlock my bootloader again. As I said, recovery is not working so the file in dload is not loaded and used. Which is strange.
Locking bootloader didn't do anything besides locking the bootloader. Device is still dead and I still can only access fastboot.

This is not the truth.....locking bootloader will erase all your data and fix partitions....and with fixed partition you can access to recovery ......trust me the only thing that you can do is to lock your bootloader......you can't flash anything from fastboot and boot recovery or system now...... lock your bootloader and then unlock it again, try using "fastboot OEM lock *****" or "fastboot OEM relock *******" (try cmd runned as admin, people say that this makes the difference) then unlock your device again and .....magic your recovery will boot......the same thing happened to me and I fixed my phone using this trick, however, even if you had frp unlocked it would say you that isn't possible to write anything because you broke some partition, and that's the reason why you can't boot recovery, wait one second and think: why doesn't my recovery boot?

It has nothing to do with trust. I did it and device is still a full stone brick. Nothing changed by locking the bootloader besides that now I can't unlock the bootloader anymore.

leagoo t5 wont boot after unlocking bootloader

Had a bad idea this morning and decided to try to root the phone, leagoo t5. The last time Im going to go messing with a phone that wasnt broken! after spending 10hrs trying to sort it! I downloaded adb tools and and twrp. I unlocked the bootloader with fastboot and installed twrp. However when I rebooted the phone it just booted straight into twrp. I cant get it to boot normally. I reinstalled the firmware but it will still not boot. I can get into recovery and factory modes but thats it. what can I do? Thanks

Yes I did. No Joy. When I power on I just get the leagoo logo coming on and off repeatedly. Pressing the power button then will not turn the phone off again. I can switch it off by pressing vol- and pwr together though.
Is the problem caused by unlocking the bootloader with fastboot or that the firmware I installed is not suiting? Rebooting the phone after unlocking the bootloader before reflashing the firmware caused the leagoo logo to come on and off repeatedly accompanied by this message in very small text "Orange State - Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted, Your device will boot in 5 seconds". After flashing the firmware with Sp Flash Tool this message is not being shown. Does reflashing firmware undo the action of unlocking the bootloader?

What your are describing is a bootloop. It sounds like the device can not find the system kernel to boot to. Did you boot the device after unlocking but before doing anything else?
Where did you get the TWRP recovery from?
Isn't this a mediatek chipset? If so, I think you need to use SP Flash Tool*to install.
I would look for a stock ROM for this device to revert to.
I'm not experienced on mediatek devices, but maybe @SubwayChamp could help.

Then to unlock bootloader is not normal that Android refuses to boot normally but when you flash a custom recovery or modify other partition this usually could happen so either or both you have to do a factory resetting/format data as @ktmom said or/and flash a kind of DM-verity for your device, this last avoids that bootloader checks the integrity of the partitions and can boot normally to system.
The warning message is normal then to unlock bootloader and reflashing the stock rom doesn´t relock it, you have to relock it at similar way that you unlocked it via fastboot command, most commom is "fastboot oem relock" but there are other variants and keep in mind that you have to return completely to stock before to apply it.

I relocked the boot loader with the command "fastboot flashing lock". small white text dialogue on phone screen stated bootloader was locked successfully. rebooted phone then and it was still stuck in the boot loop. For a few seconds in between the leagoo logo a strange circular graphic was displayed on the phone with word "erasing" under it. What does this mean?
Can you tell me more about how to flash DM-verity?

Ok, then to relock bootloader I guess that you did successfully boot to system again, right?
When you unlocked bootloader first then device is formatted to avoid a new user can access to the user´s data and when you relock it again the same happens.
As for DM-verity, newer devices strictly since nougat can´t boot to system after any partition was modified like happened when you flashed a custom recovery on it, here is when DM-verity can be useful, is used to avoid bootloader checks the integrity and allow a modified device can perform a reboot and more custom actions not officially permitted. You had to flash it through a custom recovery, sometimes flashing only Magisk is enough but not always.

You *might* be able to use this universal dm-verify script. It can be flashed only in a custom recovery and I'm not certain that is available to you.

Good news and bad news! I got the phone to boot! I reinstalled twrp and the "magisk","no verity opt encrypt" and "disable dm verity" zips from the ext sdcard with fastboot. Twrp stated the zips installed ok but there were also some red line failure lines in the dialogue as they were being installed. I rebooted the phone via fastboot but this just resulted in it booting direct to twrp as before. I tried normal boot from twrp but it still booted straight back to twrp. I then tried selecting normal boot from the fastboot, normal, recovery option menu accessed on the Leagoo T5 by powering off the phone and then pressing the pwr and vol+ buttons together but this still resulted in it booting straight to twrp. I then decided to uninstall twrp by flashing the stock firmware recovery image to try to boot from stock recovery. I did same and rebooted from fastboot and it booted to system.
The bad news is there is an imei failure message and the sim is not connecting to the network.I googled imei failure and saw that its can happen when firmware is changed. I installed the "mobileuncle" app but according to a youtube video I watched, when I tap "Engineer Mode" there should be 2 further options available, one being MTK Mode. I am only getting one option "Engineering Mode (Android) which when I select just results in being returned to the previous menu. please say this is not a major problem!

@pcfreeze you quoted me, but as I said earlier, I'm not experienced with mediatek devices. You'd be better off quoting @SubwayChamp

It could be many reasons why device didn´t boot to system. Then to flash it you had to format data + flash DM-verity. Also is possible that this TWRP version is not completely suitable for your device or is unable to mount/unmount partitions correctly, you have to check from where you downloaded it and if some users are experiencing similar issues with it.
As per you IMEI lost, better is ever take a backup of the NVRAM through TWRP before to go further then it´ll be easy to recover it. In almost all firmwares for mediatek devices you´ll fnd inside the zips SPFT and SN Writer that is to recover your IMEI. Your IMEI is not really lost only got actually covered by blank codes due to a bad/incorrect flashing/wrong sequence firmware, so be careful what you do with Mobile Uncle tool if you´re not experimented with otherwise you´ll lost permanently.

Cannot revive my phone

My note 6 pro suddenly started doing boot loop. I tried to revive it by flashing stock firmware but nothing seems to help. It has unlocked bootloader, with TWRP installed. This is what I tried:
Put phone in fastboot mode, I do see the fastboot image.
Computer recognizes the phone. 'fastboot devices' shows correct device.
Using MI Flash tool to flash 10.3.6 global fastboot image. It takes about 160 seconds to flash all the partitions. The phone will reboot at the the end of the flash. Flash tool doesn't say "successful" though. Its status is still "flashing".
No other errors. When the phone restarts, it is still stuck in the boot loop. Interesting thing is, if I press volume + button and power button, I see TWRP flash for a quick second on the screen then boot again. Looks like the recovery image wasn't flashed properly.
Looked at the logs. Nothing strange. Also tried to run 'flash-all.bat' in a command line (not sure if we are supposed to do that), but all the fastboot flash commands look OK.
Anything else I can do to revive this phone?

Just bricked

Okay so yesterday I decided to finally try to install TWRP to flash a custom rom on the system, but never thought it would give so much headache. My drivers were bad, the system locked and android 11 updating making the phone all sorts of bugs, I was anxious to get rid of it, and I did somehow. I was unable to flash TWRP into the recovery as the system partition type is different than usual for it seems, but the recovery partition was all weird, "no command" was stuck in the screen even after a hard reset through there. So I got Magisk and got Root and used Smart Flash to install TWRP through the running system and it landed successful. But when going to the recovery the TWRP screen was flickering, but I could send ADB commands yet and boot normally, I just couldn't access the recovery functions yet. So I flashed a different version of the TWRP with the IMG and the zip folder and nothing worked then I realized that maybe I should erase the partition before flashing it and then the murder. I found a tutorial on erasing stuff, but the whole process cost me more than twelve hours as I messed with so many things and was kinda learning the hows and dos.
But then I saw the command "fastboot erase system -w" that was a shortcut for all cleanup processes and I was wanting to wipe it again even to recover my google backup and be able to use my messenger apps. But it did erase, of course, the whole system and everything, simply destroying everything, but yet stuck in the fastboot screen. What I did? Well, I downloaded the TGRZ of an older version of xiaomi mi a3 firmware, the android 10, as I was tired and thought that maybe if I downgraded it I would get my phone to get rid of android 11 bugs and sleep for good till tomorrow, that is today. I ran the script to wipe anything and install the system over it and it did successfully, then the message "successfully installed, press any key to finish" but then the prompt closed and the phone tried to reboot but fell into a hard brick. The computer recognizes the device as the name "QUSB_BULK_CID:0411_SN:EFCF04FD" and the hardware ID "USB\VID_05C6&PID_9008" matches the original.
So is there anything I could do yet? Phone warranty ended in january and that's why I tried that process, it is any worth?

well it seems I recovered it back, I bricked it and somehow it just got into EDL mode without cable or opening it up. So I found a tutorial back on reddit showing how use GFIL to install the stock rom back. I used android 10 stock rom before bricking it, but as I just flashed everything on empty partitions it didn't work, it seems that the Qualcomm setup needs some kind of previous work to set everything up. Anyways I managed to boot it, but now I'm aware that I should use Lineage recovery instead of TWRP as Mi A3 support is lacking, that's why after installing it I got it flickering (no compatible version with the latest Android 11 firmware).

[HELP] OnePlus Nord booting only to fastboot mode.

I tried installing the pixel experience rom and after I flashed the aex recovery before side loading the ROM, it went into bootloop and ended up with the stock recovery and ROM. I tried to flash TWRP recovery and go a message that the the boot/recovery image is destroyed so I tried to flash the stock boot image back and since then I am not able to get it out of fastboot mode.
I tried everything, flashing the recovery again, both stock and TWRP and also tried using the flash-all to flash the stock ROM back but nothing seems to be working.
When using the flash-all, I get 'partitions not found' and 'flashing is not allowed in critical partitions' error.
I even tried msmtool but I am not able to get my phone into edl mode for the tool to detect it.
Tried holding the vol+/vol- and connecting the usb cable but to no vain, the tool does not seem to detect it.
I even tried using the all-in-one tool but my phone is not getting detected when it is turned off but it gets detected when it's in flashboot mode from where I cannot enter edl.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to fix it? Or if taking the phone to the official service center help?

Can you reboot from fastboot to edl by entering fastboot reboot-edl? Or similar, don't know exactly anymore
Alternatively see if this can help you getting into edl: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-from-fastboot.3394292/
