Hi,
I have an unlocked and rooted P8 Lite (ALE-L21) with TWRP 2.8.7.0 (I think that's the version) and I had a google play problem so after trying all solutions that I found it didn't work so i used the advanced wipe function that offers TWRP but accidently i wiped system part so I don't have any OS in my phone and now I have a bootloop. I downloaded a firmware "ALE-L21 V100R001C432B052 Europe channel dual sim" but I didn't know how to flash it because i'm new at huawei phones i was an expert in samsung devices however i don't know how to flash the UPDATE.APP file that I found in the dload folder with TWRP can you help me ? (I can't boot into the bootloader mode i can only boot recovery mode (TWRP) )
Thanks for reading that post ^^
Hello,
You can unbrick your device using this method Unbrick Huawei P8 Lite Ale-L21
Simply boot into bootloader(Plug phone into PC and hold volume down+power button, when phone vibrating release the buttons) when is in bootloader run bat(FLASH-ALL.bat) file in archive
This will install Firmware version C432B052 after that you can update via OTA
Regards
Thanks for replying to this post, I searched a little bit more and I found a software called "HuaweiUpdateExtractor" I extracted 4 files from my UPDATE.APP with that software : system, cust, recovery, boot and then flashed them with fastboot but I can't acces to my bootloader with the 2 volume buttons + power it give me an error so i used TWRP I went to Reboot then Bootloader ^^
Hello everyone, I have a huawei p8 vodafone it branded.
I decided to root it, unblocked the bootloader and everything was good so far...
I tried to flash a custom recovery but failed for some reason and I decided to stick with stock recovery.
Now I installed an app as system app and my phone got bricked. my fault..
At first It went trough a bootloop and I was not able to access the huawei recovery or the fastboot, after a while it started to boot into a error message where it was saying that it was impossible to read user data partition, and give me some choices like backup, update to the latest version, or data factory.. I choose data factory twice but it went trough a bootloop again only to give me back to the same page after a while.
I can access huawei erecovery but it gives me getting info package failed when it says that I have to update it with wifi.
I can access fastboot mode and it says me that the phone is unlocked.
I really don't know what to do as I'm not expert, I tried to read various topics but never saw anyone with this message where it was saying impossible to read user data partition..
I had emui 3.1 5.1.1 with vodafone it brand... In case I have to flash it which firmware I should look for? Or is there a way to get my phone alive again without flashing?

Hey thank you silvano, can you tell me which firmware I need to flash it? Is it okay if I use a b170 even if I had the 5.1.1 emui 3.1 version?
Nothing, I can't seem to make it work, I've flashed the boot.img recovery.img system.img and cust.img successfully(b170) but still stuck in bootloop, I can enter bootloader mode, and recovery.. but when I enter recovery it says me that I need to update it and I can't update it because it says me that getting info package failed... tried with different wifis, same result..... The excatly same thing happens with the b132 stock rom too and I cant factory reset or even wipe cache if I dont make this update first as is the only option avaible on huawei eRecovery.
As last attemp I tried to force an upgrade with putting UPDATE.APP inside the sdcard and press vol up vol down and power for booting but this combination of buttons doesnt work...
I'm hopeless, I really don't know what to do... any help would be much appreciated
Hi Developers.. Im new to this Forum site..
Im21.40.1220.1794 for WW Using Asus ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE550KL).
Lollipop 1.17.40.1234.. I can't upgrade L to MM. I don't know why..
Here is the problem.. I cant upgrade with OTA.. files are download, when i install the firmware the phone reboots normally..
Then i try to upgrade with Fastboot mode.. even cant be upgrade in sideload.. I think my phone has some problems on bootloader..
TWRP Method Flashing only working on my device.. But i don't have Marshmallow TWRP files.. So i need a MM firmware ( 21.40.1220.1794 for WW) with TWRP flashing method.. Plz help me.. ?
You have tried with update from sdcard.download lastest versione of firmware and rename .zip in update.zip and put the firmware in sdcard,go in recovery and select zip from sdcard and select update.zip.sorry for my bad english
Okay.. Bro.. I'll try..
Couldn't update ASUS ZenFone 2 laser 550kL
Facing the same problem
Baseband version - 202c10_10.0.0_160602
Build no. - WW_21.40.1220.1708.20160621
First I tried to update automatically through OTA update but failed.
Downloaded file from ASUS website (build no. 1877 ) and tried to do it manually by placing it in the root folder but still that failed.
ERROR - E: failed to mount / asdf ( invalid argument )
Please help with updation using simple method
flash stock recovery first if you want to do Gabbro16Hz method.
3gb ram varient of ze550kl has this kind of problem.
You need to download latest firmware from the asus' site. Place it in the sd card.
Enable usb debugging in developers' setting. Then boot your phone into fastboot mode. Connect phone to pc via cable.
Then put the tools.zip file in the pc and unzip it. Open that folder. Run 'flash all.bat' file. This will flash stock recivery to your phone.
Now boot phone into recovery mode. Select 'apply update from sd card. Select the firmware and flash. Then reboot. Work done. Your phone will have latest update.
Hi guys!
I have an issue here with the Huawei P8. I wanted to go back to stock from ARROW ROM, so
-I used Huawei Extractor to get the stock recovery and flashed it via fastboot adb
-Updated my phone with the 3 button method and put the DLOAD folder into my SD card
-I used B394 to get the recovery img and to update as well (it was ~1,6Gb)
The update started and everything worked fine, the phone said everything is fine but my phone stuck in bootloop. I mean it doesn't restart or anything but all I can see is the Huawei logo.
What should I do? Any tips how to fix this?
First try getting into Recovery mode & doing a factory reset & cache wipe.
If that doesn't work, try with a stock rom that's one prior to what you had before installing Arrow - like in this thread & follow the steps there (i.e. you first need to flash boot, system & recovery .img files extracted from the prior rom): [GUIDE] How to unbrick HUAWEI P8 when failed to update and ends in bootloop
If you cannot find where to download the prior stock rom, ask for help - someone may be able to provide a link that works. Tell us your phone's full, original model number (GRA-????), the region rom you need (e.g. C432 would be European) & the version B???.
However, if you are watching this, it means ur phone is bricked with huawei p10 lite/p10/p10 plus
Read the replies and follow the instruction noted by @Blackball and his links.
Then you will find you self a way to restore the phone.
Thanks again to @Blackball and rest of you guys, much appreciated for your help.
What on earth is Yoroot?
So, You can't enter fastboot mode am i right ?
Do you connect usb cable to your devices before press Vol- and Power button ?
Current Situation
After the battery was dead, i actually can enter the fastboot and i used TWRP 3.1.1 for huawei P10 Plus from github. double wiped my device and by far i have entered the system normally.
However, the ROM wasn't official and i lost my warranty for unlock my huawei phone. And the custom service from Huawei said that they don't provide any official ROM Since it's Android 7.0 .
This ROM is really crappy that i can't delete/uninstall any Application i installed.(It gets reboot everytime i try to and the Application is still there even i just tried to Delete/Uninstall).
Worst of all, some options does not work properly in "Option" menu . (For example i can't access to "Developer mode" that everytime i press it it tabbed back to the former menu.)
I really hate this crappy menu so i tried to search on the internet for P10 Plus ROM so far i get B133 update ROM i can find and i tried to install it from SDcard by pressing VOL - and VOL + and Power buttom.
It says failed to update system at 5% while updating/recoverying the system.
and the ROM which i'm using was found in HUAWEI's official fan forum from Club.Huawei.com a forum belongs in china.(Rooted rom B140).
Right now seems the only option for me is to find a better ROM than this .(At least won't get me so many bugs like this one .:crying: )
and Thanks for your comment "Bigbearxl" it worked as normally it should after the battery was dead then i recharged it.
Yet Right now the PC doesn't recognize the device though Via-Usb because it's not Huawei official ROM and Hisuite helper only recognize their own ROM and the rest Phone helper or ADB can't recognize the device while The Phone is Booting normal .
And Reply to "Craphead" Yoroot is a special Root tool for Huawei P10/P10 plus made by chinese from Huawei Fan Club forum.
New Update
After rewrited boot.img though fastboot mode from https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/root-huawei-p10-p10-t3589946 thanks to "yury_z, " i can start to delete files with current system, but it's still crappy that it doesn't even have camera
So i think i will try dload method to recovery my phone with firware that i found in forum.
Failed
Looks like i have to stock with that bit longer
dload with update.app method failed. and recovery TWRP install missing md5.
Unless i get System.img or i guess i can't get another system.:crying:
This work for P10plus too

Maybe you could also try installing stock firmware with funkyhuawei, it's not for free though. But dload method never works on P10/plus unfortunately.
thanks @Blackball and @Craphead. i checked both of your method but didn't work and this new twrp 3.1.0 i downloaded displayed sd card 0mb. and i followed poster's step and missing one file.
However i might found a useful Thead that might work and i'm gonna try tonight.

That is what I wrote.
It seems that firmware finder work for P10/plus now.

@Blackball not sure you what you mean by that, do you mean that you can actually use it to install firmware on p10/p10 plus now? If so how did they manage to get around the authentication issue?
I debranded my phone from L09 to L29 DualSim with this guide. It work with moded stock recoverys.

well i tried your method but there were some file that can't be downloaded from that post so i used another and,eventhough with complete files, the method i posted and i was going to use it tonight. Failed.
did all the steps from update.bat indicated and all worked fine till the last step that it says " automaticly install system" and the phone shows error at recovery.(similar to dload method because it automaticly create dload and exact those ROM files)
it indicates a big red " ! " sign and stopped. basicly i'm back to "No System Status"
The only method wowrks for my "P10 Plus" is " flash system system.img " method.
yet i don't know how to exact system.img boot.img recovery.img etc from those stock firmware like those chinese.
i have some of their rewrote roms (it's crappy because i has no default camera and it's for chinese P10 Plus A.K.A VKY_L29) .
Yet i can't find any System.img on google by far.

I haven't tried your Firmware Finder method , i think i can install crappy system.img then try your Firmware Finder method.
Because right now i wiped my system and i'm without system :crying:
Guys This Thead https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315547
tells you how extract flashable rom files from firmware update.app.
It should work but i only made to Unknownfile XX .img and i can't download his script "HuaweiFinder" from his google drive.
Holy Crap it worked, i Extracted system.img and other img from update.app by some Chinese scripted unpack script. and I'm trying to restore my device though fastboot mode with adb.

well just tried your method and at last step it says installing failed. then i reboot entered rec mode choose wipe/factory reset
wiped till 50% and stopped, it can't factory reset.
Before this method fastboot mode was " Phone unlock " " Bootloader unlock."
Now it's just "Phone unlock"
now i'm stuck at boot loop "your device is booting now" then it rebooted and back to "your device is booting now" again then automaticly goes to Erecovery mode. I have to shutdown device for now and hope i can find some solution tomorrow :S
When you try this :

It's important that you have the 3 zip files from your wanted firmware and rename them correctly. Don't mix with another firmwares.

i did this method yesterday and, well, i can't get update_full_VKY-L09_hw_eu.zip from the link : http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1475/g104/v85029/f1/full/filelist.xml . only Update.zip and Update_full_data.zip . the other one "update_full_VKY-L09_hw_eu.zip" i had to get it from another webside (it's also b133)
it shows a big "!" sign at the last step . i did everything it tells and tried both sdcard&script way to flash twice both rebrand&same brand update.
after the failure i can't enter "Vol +" and "Vol -" and "Power button" to do dload method . When i try to do that it just goes in Recovery mode.
In recovery mode i tried to wipe data/factory reset. It stopps at 50% which is after wipe and starting to factory reset at 50% it failed.
i try to flash in system.img and boot.img yet i still can not enter the system and stuck at bootloop.
