Guys help us about the camera. I am in the same exact situation. @BadWolfYe and your product_V3 doesnt fix the camera for me, VNS-L21.
And for the recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...ecovery-twrp-3-0-2-android-nougat-03-t3511937 - use adb flash it.

You'll have to go the hard route. You'll find all the required files in the ROM section.
Download any Nougat.zip (329 worked for me, 336 did not). Unzip. You'll get the update.app.
Download the second file with all the missing apps. Do not unzip. Maybe rename to something shorter like data.zip.
Download Revolution Recovery for Nougat. Unzip. You get the recovery.img. RENAME to something like revolution.img.
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extracor. Extract recovery.img, boot.img and system.img to wherever your fastboot.exe is. It's practical to put it all in one directory so you don't have to type long paths.
Now, careful...
Go into Fastboot. If Vol- + Power doesn't work, let it boot into eRecovery, press Vol- and tap Reboot. There you are.
Open a command window in the dir with fastboot.exe and the .img files (right click, Open Command Window)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
.... OK
fastboot flash system system.img
.... sparse 1/5 or something, this takes a bit of time.
fastboot flash revolution.img
.... OK
Now DO NOT REBOOT into System. Hold Vol+ + Power while still in Fastboot. It'll boot into Revolution eventually. Tap Advanced, ADB Sideload. Swipe.
Back in your command window, type:
adb sideload second_file.zip
... working... this'll take a bit. There might be an error message like 'could not mount /data'. Doesn't matter at this point.
When done, type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this is the stock recovery you extracted from update.app)
... OK
Reboot to recovery from Revolution.
Do factory reset. Note: If you don't do this last step, there will be a bootloop.
Reboot. The system should now boot up normally. At least it did for me... good luck.

I did this too. Only way to fix it is to downgrade to MM (instructions are in the N install thread). I then unlocked the bootloader, booted to fastboot, flashed Meticulus recovery. Once you're here, the important thing is to flash the update.zip and appropriate .Zip file for your device. Took me a while to find it but Meticulus has a post in Spanish with all of them for each type of P9 lite - there's one for the VNS-L23 there. Flash the update.zip and then device zip (in that order) and reboot. It'll work.
This phone is harder to flash Roms than others I've had in the past... It's important to do things in the right order.

First thing when you want to do something (TWRP, root, custom ROM etc.) with your phone is: UNLOCK BOOTLOADER!
Without unlocked bootloader is not hard to do, you not even try, because it is impossible...

Simply! At any install of stock firmware you loose: unlocked bootloader, twrp and root.

For unlock bootloader you only need you phone to boot into bootloader...
You say "now my phone is only booting to erecovery and bootloader"
So?

You have to saved anywhere first time you have'it!
That is the first rule!
Once you debranded your phone that Device ID is change,
so even your phone boot ok and you obtain a Device ID is not the same
with the one saved in the Huawei databases...
So, procedure to obtain the bootloader unlock code is ended in error...

[Question] Huawei P10 Lite stuck in "Huawei eRecovery" screen

Hello,
My Huawei P10 Lite is bricked (or not ...), but I can not boot the system.
After restoring a backup through TRWP, I always get the "Huawei eRecovery" screen and I can not start the android system. This screen should allow download a recovery but the connection always fails.
I am able to load *.img files throuth the fastboot, and with that I am able to load the TWRP recovery (if needed).
At this point the bootloader is locked, but I also have the unlock code. So it's not a problem.
After some research on the internet it seems that it is necessary to reinstall the stock recovery ... Is it the only way to recover the smartphone?
Does anyone have a stock recovery image?
Ideas?
My model is a WAS-LX1A (Portugal).
Thanks

Same here. same country, same model. Have you solved it?

Did you find by chance the recovery?

[GUIDE] Root Huawei Honor 8 SMART and install TWRP custom recovery (EMUI 5.X)

Note-
Applicable for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
Similar steps are applicable for EMUI 4.X as well but TWRP file will change.
Hello Fellow Members,
Did not find any post mentioning rooting for Honor 8 SMART and got requests via PM and on FB to add it for EMUI 5. If there are any, let me know and I will take down this thread. I will just simplify the steps so that any new users can do this without any problem and without any prior experience to rooting, it may be long but will be the simple enough for all the users.
Prerequisites-
Enable the developer option in settings-
Go to Settings--> About Phone-->Tab build number 7 times to enable this setting.
Go back in setting page, just above system update, you will see a new menu as -Developer Options
Scroll for the debugging section and enable the USB Debugging
You will be prompted for the confirmation with RSA key, just accept it.
Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options (just above the USB debugging option) – Most probably this option will not be there on EMUI 5.0 (only few have seen on EMUI but it was there on EMUI 4.1 for all but rarely on EMUI 5.0 or may be because I have used dload most of the time which grayed out this)
Please note down you build number, this may become handy in case something goes wrong to restore your phone via DLOAD. In Settings- About phone- Build Number
Installation of required Drivers.
Connect your phone to PC and install Hi Suite on PC and it will additionally install all the necessary drivers to PC and HiSUite on Mobile.
Download and Install ADB from Link
Accept all the prompts and install ADB drive system wise.
Once installation is completed, if default options are chosen, it will be under C:\adb
Downloading the necessary files.
Download TWRP from Link Thanks to @OldDroid for his Original Thread . Rest of the contributor and credit in original thread by OldDroid.
Move the downloaded file under C:\adb or wherever you have installed the ADB.
Download the SuperSU file from this Link and put it in SD card or keep handy on PC so that you can copy to internal memory later.
Get the unlock as mentioned in this thread
Actual Procedure
Unlocking the bootloader-
Backup all your data as unlocking the bootloader will reset the device and all your data will be erased.
On windows machine, go to folder C:\adb or wherever you installed the adb drivers.
Press shift+right click together and select Open command prompt here
Run - adb reboot bootloader (this command may prompt for acceptance of RSA key if not already accepted)
This will boot the phone into bootloader mode.
Run - fastboot oem unlock <16 digit unlock code- Put your actual code you obtained from Huawei site > (This step will unlock the bootloader and will erase all your data)
Phone will restart automatically.
Installing TWRP
Once on the system, open the PowerShell or command prompt again in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run - adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader, Run - fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-venus.img (This will install the TWRP recovery for EMUI 5.0 on your phone)
Once done with the flashing the TWRP, Run - fastboot reboot
Rooting
Once booted to system, open the PowerShell or command prompt in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run - adb reboot recovery
And your phone will boot into the TWRP recovery.
Copy the SuperU file downloaded to SD card or Internal memory.
Install the SuperSU zip.
Reboot and enjoy.
Happy Flashing.

Huawei P10 Lite - Bricked Device

Hello everyone.
I Have Huawei P10 Lite WAS-LX1A and I accidentally bricked my device.
I was using TWRP to install a rom, and I wipped my system but the rom couldn't be installed for some reason. So I thought my TWRP Version had a problem, so I tried with bootloader to istall a new TWRP.
In adb I pressed:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_by_GreatSlon.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then
fastboot flash recovery custom_boot_decryptdata_b130
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But now, it doesn't load TWRP at all when I press vulume up + power button. I am stuck with out TWRP and with out an OS.
And I can't enter bootloader to install a new TWRP. Is there anything I can do?
I do have a laptop and an SD Card and my Bootloader is unlocked. Phone Unlocked and FRP Unlock are red, so maybe there is a way to save my phone please? I need help please . Sorry if I am not explaining very good and if I don't write correctly, I'ts because I am very very sad . Please someone tell me there is a way to fix it. Maybe dload? But I cannot find any file that it fits.. Thanks in advance.

I found this youtu.be/pkWSDlrLmns and I intalled a new TWRP. But I still cannot find any ROM to install. Any help please?

you flashed twrp in recovery partition and after that, you flashed "custom_boot_decryptdata" also in recovery partition. so, twrp was overwritten. that's the reason why it doesn't work now. are you able to enter fastboot? (VOL- & power button)?
are you on emui5 or emui8?
if you can enter fastboot mode, flash twrp again.

Bricked P10 lite

Try to flash all partitions from a service rom.

I have the Same Problem. Only dark screen with fastboot connection.

(Sorry for the very late reply) I could enter fastboot using a pc, and then flashed a different twrp and costum rom.
Everything was okay. But, lately my rom started having network problems and I decided to flash an another rom..
But when I did, something wrong happened and now I am without twrp, without rom and with phone and frp locked.
My destiny is to brick my device and go to imposimple position, isn't it? I don't have my unlocked code so I cannot unlock my bootloader. I paid and tried dc unlocker to unlock my phone, but after plug-unplug it stopped being unlocked again and my money for dc unlocker gone for nothing and I am not willing to pay again for something like that. Any ideas to unlock my phone?
I sent an email and message to Huawei to see if they can give me the code, but idk if they will do. Any suggestions?

This post can be locked. This thread continues here. As for the Huawei, they respond that they don't give the unlock code anymore..

Semi Bricked Mate 8 :(

Hello hope someone can help please have been trawling forums for a week now without getting anywhere.
I was running nxt-l29c636???? tried to upgrade via app firmware finder, first two I picked just failed then I picked older one thinking I might need to go from android 6 to 7 then to 8
Now it's stuck in a loop.
The firmware I picked looked like it was installing but failed early on 1 or 2 %
I can get to erecovery - does nothing and I've tried copying update.app to SD card and holding three button method but it does nothing.
When I fastboot it and rescue mode my phone status is locked.
Anyone know how I can recover please?
Ideally just want to flash it and if so it'd be great if it was android 8
Thanks for looking

ok so I've been looking all night on internet and trying various things but it seems as my phone is locked I can't use fastboot or adb (it gives command not allowed with fast boot)
but does at least communicate with (fastboot devices)
does this mean I need to root my phone first?
How do I do this please?

unfortunatly huawei no longer support to unlock the bootloader and there is no free method to do this
there is other methods to restore your device and unlock your bootloader but it will cost you money you can try somthing like dc unlocker or you can go to the repair centers

ok so I bought DC Phoenix which is a great program and done online chat too which was very helpful and managed to flash a stock ROM. BUT when it wanted step 2 (the phone to be put in upgrade mode) wasn't sure it was going to do this for me or it wanted me to do this, but either way I cannot get the phone into upgrade mode by holding the volume up and volume down key + power
it just power cycles or keep the huawei logo on the screen and eventually gives options like factory default and wipe cache etc.
Decided to flash it in advanced mode with DC phoenix and it claims successful and doesn't ask for upgrade mode but now booting the phone gives#
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly
(1) Press power key to continue - tried and just reboots to the same
(2) Press Volume Up key up to 3 seconds to enter recovery to restore your device - does nothing
(3) Your device will stop start if there is no operation
Can still boot into Fastboot mode
I'm stuck, anyone can offer help please?
My phone is Asia firmware NXT-L29C636 so I've used stock that claims to be for that region. but I see if DC Phoenix log a mention of Build number: NXT-C900B170
Model: HUAWEI NXT-L29
Is that what DC Phoenix is detecting that's it just now?
