Bootloop + can't reflash

Hello, i'd like some help to unbrick my phone
I tried to root it through TWRP but it couldn't mount some directories so I tried that filesystem modification trick so I just wiped everything (including System) by mistake.
I've been trying since 5+ hours already to reinstall the original ROM/firmware without any success.
I tried to :
- Hold the 3 buttons with the update.app into the dload folder (wont work and will just stop at 5% and tell me it failed) with 2 differents update versions
- Flash system, boot & recovery manually through fastboot and retry to use the update.app, still stopping at 5%
- Tried to use the eRecovery through wifi, tells me it failed to get package infos
I couldn't find anything on the official website, not even the firmware.
Here is the filesystem of all my directories
System - EXT4
Data - F2FS
Cache - EXT4
And my external sd card is small and can only handle the update.app with about 100MO.
The 2 versions I used on the dload were B520 and B100.
I'm CAN-L01 btw

Extract B100 with huawei firmware extractor and flash all images in fastboot mode
done

Did this solution work? I'm exactly in the same situation right now, and am wondering how a different fw will be any Better than flashing an original one for the actual cellphone.
Is the b100 the same spec?
Also looking for my product id, but as it's stuck in bootloader there's no chance of me getting it
Bootloader needs to be locked in order to get passed the protection apparently. I'm in unlocked and root. Apparently.

If your frp is locked, then it's very difficult to flash by any method, maybe some paid tools can fix.
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Paid tools did the job.
Used dcunlocker and it's phoenix application, they got me the official firmware for my phone. Took me an age to download as their servers were slow, but they were kind and helped me through

Need TWRP backup for India ROM latest update

Hi
Can someone provide me TWRP backup of Indian Stock ROM for U Ultra?

Edit :
1. I have a developer device which is S-off. I have flashed Leedroid Ultra 1.2.0 which is based on 1.15.401. 12 and my firmware is 1.15.90400.12.
2. I'm having a problem where on every restart the phone does not boot up and goes to fastboot screen with error "failure to write to EXT4 storage".
In recovery, the internal memory shows 0 Mb and I'm unable to format /system and /data. To fix this, I have to go to recovery and select Format Data and then it shows my Internal Storage and I'm able to flash ROM. But the problem resurfaces after reboot.
3. I believe this is due to storage being encrypted but I can't really find the solution.
4. I haven't flashed any RUU. Will that revert my device to S-ON?
5. I'm looking to flash TWRP backup of Indian Stock ROM and hoping this will clear the firmware mismatch and encryption issues or should I flash India RUU?

[SOLVED] How to unroot, relock bootloader and flash EMUI ?

Hello,
I tried to flash the RessurectionRemix ROM and it was working well except the LTE so I decided to get back to EMUI.
Problem, i took the backup of bluesmoothie and flashed it but the phone never finish to boot.... (I didn't wipe anything, i thought that the restore function of TWRP was doing everything, am I wrong ?)
Moreover, the TWRP recovery can't access the content of my ext sdcard where the RR ROM is located and even if i put this rom to internal storage, i got the ERROR 7 (this is for deive: can; you have generic_a53)
Do you know what can I do to :
- Come back to EMUI
- Unroot the phone
- Re-lock the bootloader
The files of the TWRP backup are located on the sdcard, if i wipe data/system/cache, will it delete these files ?
Infos :
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP of Garak (but still have ERROR 7 now)
Thank you very much

First you need to flash the stock recovery in fastboot. After that you need to put the update.app in a folder called dload in your internal storage.

Okay but where can I find the stock recovery ?
Then, do i have to flash it via ADB like i did with TWRP ?
After that, where can I find the "update.app" that you are talking about ?
If i'm right, you're telling me that i can't go back to EMUI without flashing the stock recovery ?

That is correct. First use firmware finder to get the update.app. There is a firmware extractor tool for Huawei firmware. Use it to extract the recovery.img and flash with fastboot.

First of all, thank you very much for your anwser, it's very kind of you.
If i understood everything, that's what i have to do :
- Download one of the Huawei firmwares with Huawei Finder (Better get the B100 or another one ?)
- Extract the recovery.img with the update.app from Huawei Finder
- Flash the stock recovery with ADB
Then :
- I put the update.app that i get through the Huawei Finder in the dload folder of the internal storage (If i flash the stock recovery, will I be able to put files in the storage ?)
- I reboot the phone in recovery and normally, it should install the EMUI rom
At the end, my phone will no longer have a custom recvery, bootloader unlocked and root status ?

Yes, that's correct. But you have to put update.app in dload folder on your SD card as far as I know. That's how I did it.
I couldn't find B100 on Firmware Finder and I've got relocked bootloader on Nougat.

Yes, you will need to copy the update.app to internal storage in TWRP, then flash the stock recovery. After flashing you need to hold all three buttons when booting (just like getting into TWRP. After update you will have no custom recovery, no root, and it should lock bootloader.

If it doesn't boot, then boot in recovery and do a factory reset and then it should boot. It happened to me and that's what I did.

I still have the warning message "your phone is unlocked", is it normal ?
When i boot into recovery it's displaying "eRecovery" and ask me to download the new update of recovery but it fails when getting the package. I can only reboot and turn off :/

You shouldn't have that message anymore.
Are you sure that the update.app got installed? @wangdaning told you to put it on dload folder in internal memory. I don't know if that is right or if it works, but I've put it in dload folder on sdcard when I've installed update.app.

You can read in this post the steps I've used to relock the bootloader and get update (official I guess) through Settings > System update. Just "click to show content".

The problem is that the phone doesnt finish to but anymore... i can't do things in menu.
When you talk about SD card, it's the external sd card ? Because i don't have access to it anymore, but i have the partition SD Card
When you installed the B340 update, you seen the percent growing up and had a "success" message ? Because, for me, the update is stuck at 5% and then it reboot the phone

Yes, I mean external sdcard.
Reinstall TWRP and restore bluesmoothie's backup and then flash the stock recovery again.
I didn't have any issues with installing the B340 firmware. It was installed successfully.
Try to follow the steps I've used. You shouldn't have any problem.

Okay i'm going to try it right away
My external sd card doesnt show up anymore when i connect it to my PC, i don't know why

I mentioned internal SD card because you said your external was not recognized, but you might try putting the dload folder on external. I have done it both ways. Sometimes the update through stock recovery is finicky. If it doesn't finish run it again. Also, make sure your USB is disconnected, as may Huawei users have mentioned this causes it to freeze. If it still fails, try dloading a different update from firmware finder.

Did it work?

I didn't have so much time these days but I did it and it worked for the 1st part (flash bouesmoothie's backup). Tomorrow I'll do the final step! Thank you again

Here I am :
1 : flashed stock recovery from B350 and i don't have the "unlocked" message anymore !
2 : The update B350 made it, "update success"
3 : It doesn't boot for now
4 : The boot doesn't end
-----
1 : flashed TWRP recovery, launched a factory reset in the same time
2 : Phone booting again on B100
-----
1 : flashed stock recovery from b350
2 : flashed b350 update
3 : Everything is fine !
Thank you for your help !!!

Hello,
use rollback method.
First revert your DATA filesystem from
F2FS to EXT4 using TWRP, then follow guide
in UNIFIED HELP THREAD..
Here the link..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/unified-help-thread-huawei-p9-lite-t3649152
Read carefully, you need L23C212 rollback...

Yes, the rollback package will give you
c900 global firmware. From there install
B160 for dual sim, B161 for single sim..
When you will stay with this firmware,
update using updater stock or use Firmware Finder..
Follow the guide..
Regards..

Edit: sorry B160 and B161 are firmware persent in C432 Europe area-
Dont know the one for your cust/region (C212).
Let google do the work for you..

Hello,
according with the guide you flashed
wrong package...
You need FULL OTA UPDATE package, it must be
1.7/1.9 gbytes in size wich cames with data..
Flash new one or repeat the whole process.
I found this firmware on internet,
but do not assume any responsability.
If you want give a try here the direct download..
Check it with an antivirus/antimalware software..
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92443&version=361914&siteCode=mx
If all will go in the right direction at the end
reboot to e-recovery (vol+ + Power)
and make a factory reset.
Hope this time will work..
Best regards

Hello man,
really dont know if i badly explained..
My friend to bring back to MM
you have to strictly follow the guide i posted you..
So you need VNS-L23C212 rollback package then
extract update.app, create a "dload" folder in SD and
pur in it. Turn off and proceed with three buttons method*****
When finished you will have C900 firmware..
(that's a LIMBO firmware)
Delete update.app from SD card...(not dload folder)
Now take tour VNL-L23C212Bxxx firmware,
extract update.app, put in dload folder in SD card
and repeat with three buttons metod.
If all take right direction at end of flash, after booting,
reboot to e-recovery (vol up+ power button) and make a factory reset. Now you have MM firmware..
That's the guide say...
*****= vol up+vol down+power button until It start flashing
That's all my friend...
The other way is to flash L23C212 oeminfo.zip (if you find It)
with TWRP, then VNS-L23C212Bxxx with dload and three
button method. At the end factory reset..
Best regards

[URGENT] Need some help with weird crash

Hi, I'm using a huawei p10 Lite rooted with twrp Recovery. by mistake, I wipe the recovery partition of twrp while i was in twrp. Now i can't use the recovery or fastboot, and my smartphone seems to be "unauthorized" in the adb device's list.
My last try was download and install stock firmware, i think this may repair recovery and kernel partition, but i can't move to microsd card because (i think) is upper than 4GB, and don't let me copy the folder dload.
PD: I can boot the custom rom without problems, but i can't use recovery or fastboot
need some help please!!
thanks
Edit: I fixed with anohter update.app with less than 4GB (3.6 GB)

u have rooted your phone? so i think it's possible to "dd" the recovery back.
e.g.
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0pxx
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(i don't know which partition is for recovery, so i put "xx" in it)
are u on emui5 or emui8?
and please remove your "question" feature in your post. that's maybe the reason why nobody post an answer ...

Sorry, I forgot to say that i fixed it. I found another rebrand firmware of 2.6 GB, solve it.
Thanks anyway for the answer!
