I'm stuck in an infinite eRecovery loop. No matter what I try or what I do I can't get the phone to boot back into the OS. Anyone have any tips or tricks? Huawei is going to do an rma for me but I'm flying out on business for 2 weeks and really need this phone with me. It's an MLA-L03 that is oem unlocked (which is what I'm thinking is causing me the most issues as I can't do the normal button presses to get to certain things but I can't relock it as it says it can't be trusted or whatever)
I did manage to get to a point where I have full access to /data/ but no matter what rom I try to flash it fails with failing to mount /cust/
If I put an update.app it will get to 5% and hang until it fails when I do the button press to force an update. I cannot get to the emui factory reset screen.
PS, yes I know I'm a dumbass, so be gentle lol. I'm really desperate and have nothing to lose at this point so will to try anything.
I did try everything here with no luck (other than getting full access to /data/ lol):

my bad hehehe...i wanted to say the twrp :silly:
Ok so you'll have to flash firmware with fastboot.
You need to download and install fastboot, firmware finder and huawei extract tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (fastboot), https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146 (firmware finder), https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 (huawei extract tool).
So install adb and fastboot, extract firmware finder and huawei extract tool. Open firmware finder hit common base, on model for find enter mla-l03 and download a full ota, form firmware you just downloaded extract update.app. Now open huawei extract tool and load your update.app you've just extracted and extract from there boot.img, recovery.img and system.img by using the right click (extract them on the same folder where is located fastboot, for example I got fastboot installed on local C/adb).
If you have twrp installed boot in fastboot mode by using twrp, if not you can boot in fastboot mode with the phone turned off by pressing volume - while plugging the usb cable.
Open cmd and write cd /adb (between cd and / is space) and hit enter than write fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG and hit enter, after finally writing the system write fastboot reboot and hit enter and wait till phone reboots.
Thanks, I've done all that already and it did not fix it but will try again once I get home.

Really?
I got my phone in the same state and was the only method witch helped me.
Did you successfully flashed boot, recovery and system and still not working? phone get stuck on the huawei logo? After you flash them, boot into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
yup, everything flashed successfully. I can't get into the recovery to do a factory reset. I have 4 options at my disposal:
1. fastboot
2. Huawei eRecovery
3. TWRP
4. force update where it always fails at 5%
I think the biggest thing that is screwing me is the fact that it's unlocked and I can't relock it. I'm almost 100% positive if I could relock it, I would have no issues with it.
And woh do you boot into twrp? Since you can boot into twrp you must be able to boot in stock recovery. Use huawei multi tool by black team too go into recovery.

Thanks I'll try that.
It's weird. I flash TWRP, do what I need to do, then reflash the recovery.img. However it just does a continuous loop to eRecovery when I do that unless I try to force it to update.
I'll try using the fastboot that you linked to and see if that makes a difference. Right now I'm using the minimal adb and fastboot install.
EDIT: Same result when trying to relock the bootloader--device cannot be trusted.
EDIT2: Do you have the cust.img file? None of the firmwares I've downloaded has it in it.

When your device reboots and you get to the warning screen about your device being unlocked, what buttons do you press to get into the normal (ie not eRecovery) recovery where you can do a factory reset? When I have TWRP installed, I have to hold volume + and volume - at the same time to go into TWRP. If I do the same thing after I reflash recovery.img, then it goes straight into the forced update which stalls and fails at 5%. Volume - reboots and goes back to fastboot. Volume + takes me to eRecovery. Doing nothing, the phone reboots and goes to eRocovery on the reboot. Holding down all 3 buttons also goes to the forced update screen.
I'm assuming that I'm missing something super simple and stupid so I'm going to go over everything again, step by step very carefully.

That just reboots me and then puts me in fastboot unfortunately. I'm going to try loading twrp and removing anything in /dload/ and see if it will boot to normal recovery. Last time I checked there was an update.app file there so maybe it's just bypassing recovery and trying to install that.

Hello,
today I tried to downgrade from nougat to MM. After the MM Rom was installed, my phone only shows me the Huawei Brand. The phone does not start, it only shows huawei brand. How can I rescue my phone now ???? Please help
Edit:

I tried the rollback with this method:

Make sure you dont have the usb cable plugged when you try to enter recovery.
Have you tried flash the MM UPDATE.APP again ?

Yes I Trier without USB cable plugged in. What I recognised before the bootloop is: The flash of the rollback Version was successful but the phone was then already stuck in bootloop. So i don't even could install the real Version of MM.
Is there a possibility to install the stock Rom with fastboot? My bootloader is opened and I don't Kind if I lose all my data.

You should be able to put the MM update in dload folder of your sdcard, and use the 3 button method to flash it.
Otherwise use huawei firmware extractor to pull the system.img data.img boot.img from the update.app of the MM, and use fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img . Same thing for boot and data

Thanks for your answers and your help. The first method is not working, if I press all three buttons together, my phone just restarts and the Huawei Boot Sign shows up again.
I'd like to try the second method? But could you tell me, how I can find the system.img, data.img, boot.img files and where I can find the HUAWEI FIRMWARE EXTRACTOR.

Use this tool to extract them from the UPDATE.APP file of the MM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
First extract the RECOVERY.img only and flash it with fastboot. After that test the three button method again (make sure that you have the file from MM (2.0GB) in the dload folder). If it doesnt work, try the thing i said before.

OK, sorry for being such a noob. I now installed the Huawei Extractor. Furthermore I downlaoded stock Rom MM B130. Now there are two ZIP Files (like you can see on the picture). Do I have to extract both of them???
EDIT:
There is no data.img in Huawei Extractor. I have taken a screenshot of the files too (you can see it on the second image).

Before I do the steps you discribed I have two questions.
First: I have to recovery images... RECOVERY.img and RECOVERY2.img. Do I have to flash both of them?
Second: I took a SD Card now and created a folder named dload. In it I put the UPDATE.app file. This has 3 GB, in your post you said it has to be 2 GB. So did I take the right UPDATE file or is it the wrong one?

I now managed to flash BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img and SYSTEM.img. Afterwards it was possible to extract UPDATE.app by pressing VOL up # VOL down # and the other Button (don't know the english word). But the installation of the UPDATE.app stops on 5%. Whats the reason for this?
So I have a guess right now: Before I tried to downgrade my phone I uninstalled SuperSu but I didn't unroot my phone. So my phone could be still rooted. Could this be the problem why the installation is not working?

odin is for samsung phones, try unlocking the bootloader, fastboot flash twrp, flash oeminfo in twrp and then use the update.app and 3 button combo, there are guides on this forum explaining exactly how to do it. just make sure you have the correct files.
My phone model is VNS-L31C16B120 and I flashed it with a rom that was meant for the VNS-L31C16B361.
I have absolutely no access and Fastboot and Huawei eRcovery doesn't support my phone now..
if I flash my dev and factory reset the phone, will the build number change back to normal and will I be able to use eRecovery?

So:
Extract oeminfo.img from this C432 SINGLE SIM OEMINFO and flash it uding fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfo.img
Untill then get your 4Gb sdcard ready and extract this UPDATE.APP to the dload folder on sdcad.
After OEMInfo flash is done, Don't boot your phone. Insert sdcard with the /dload/UPDATE.APP on it and press all three buttons at the same time (keep your charger cable out).
Then when that's done you will have your bootloader relocked and stock recovery restored.
Then delete that UPDATE.APP from the sdcard and extract this update app,
C432B161 and just like the last time insert sdcard and press all three buttons.
You should end up with europe single sim firmware, ready to be updated to nougat.

Also after doing the dload reflash, reboot to the stock recovery (vol+ & power) and factory reset.
Many users on this forum have a bricked Honor 7X (BND-L24 variant) and haven't found a working guide to breath life back into their devices. Fortunately, I found a method that appears to have fixed my BND-L24 that was running on oreo. Maybe it will work for you too. Nougat users, feel free to try this method on your devices. Just know that I am not responsible for any damage or anything else should your bricked-phone-situation go from bad to worse.
********REQUIREMENTS********
1. microSD card ---> You need one of those adapter things to access the microSD card on your computer. We're going to be moving files to this little guy.
2. TWRP recovery --> We're going to be flashing a zip so stock recovery won't work here. Don't worry, once we flash the zip, TWRP will be gone
3. HuRUpdater_0.3.zip --> I know there is a HuRUpdater_0.2.zip too but I used HuRUpdater_0.3.zip when I unbricked mine so . . . that's what we're gonna use. You can download it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 Don't forget to thank the developer!
********STEPS********
1. First things first. Download these three files:
update.zip
update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
2. Once downloaded, rename them as listed here. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL
update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip -----> update_all_hw.zip
update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_data_public.zip
DO NOT RENAME update.zip
3. Make a folder on the microSD card. You can name it whatever you would like. For the purposes of this guide, I named mine "Recovery". Move all four of the zips (or archives, whatever you wanna call them) that you downloaded to this new "Recovery" folder. Then eject the microSD card.
4. Insert the microSD card into your paperweight, I mean bricked Honor 7X. Then boot into TWRP.
5. In TWRP, tap on "Install". Then browse to your external SD card and tap on "HuRUpdater_0.3.zip". Swipe to flash it.
6. Once everything finishes installing, tap on "Reboot" then "System" (I have no idea why you would want to install the TWRP app if you don't have TWRP anymore but . . . to every man his own). When the unlocked-bootloader-warning screen pops up, press and hold the volume up button to boot into eRecovery. Perform a factory reset from there.
7. After the factory reset is completed, say hello to your now fully functional device.
Giving this a try right now. Will report back. Thank you so much!

Download HWOTA8. After you extract it there is a twrp image in it. There is also a stock recovery image in it incase something goes wrong. There is a thread here on twrp. You will come across a twrp image by sudeep. You can use it too. Although it didn't work perfectly for me. Use adb or multitool to flash them
my phone is bricked... thus the bootloader is locked... i cant flash to it.
Bricked as in display won't turn on?
when i turn it on, it comes up to erecovery, "download latest version and recovery" will connect to wifi but fail to download. Multi-Tool says bootloader is locked as well.

Thank you so much! I have tried every other method on this forum over the past few months and wasted countless hours. I could not get ANY other method to work. This worked perfectly the very first time. Thanks!!!
Not sure what you mean by use the service rom... I can't flash the ROM because the bootloader is locked.

The service rom does not need unlocked bootloader.
You do need your unlock code though.
Service rom BND-L21C432
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.
Is there still a way to get the code? I haven't been able to get it

There is an option to use bnd-l21 service rom. Which will allow you to boot and unlock bootloader again. Then start over with hurupdater.

I got some errors when running the Hur Updater
I'm currently redownloading the files hoping there were download incorrectly the first time or something...
I finally got it working, but I can't install updates. Anyone else have this issue?
I need help
First, I did something and now when it boots it doesn't show the honor logo but it shows the huawei logo and can't progress farther (I swear I didn't try to install another OS)
Second, I can't access twrp but can access fastboot. I have downloaded twrp and was able to access it before I messed up even more to the point that it doesn't show the honor logo
In the fastboot screen, it says PHONE Relocked but when I type in fastboot oem get-info in the terminal of my computer with my honor 7x connected to it and fastboot screen it says (bootloader) unlocked ,so I'm not sure if the bootloader is actually locked or unlocked
So what I'm not sure about is what can I do to access TWRP. I tried installing it again but it didn't work either user error or it's just not possible to
All your help will be very appreciated because I don't have money to get another phone
i really shouldn't have done any of this knowing that I don't have money to get another phone
edit:
I don't think the OEM is unlocked like the thingy from the developer options because I don't see FRP in fastboot screen, just PHONE Relocked

The service rom does not need unlocked bootloader.
You do need your unlock code though.
Service rom BND-L21C432

1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.

thank you so much for this. I was able to downgrade and read my code to unlock.
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

first of all thanks for replying.
not sure what you mean though, if I DO extract update.app how could I flash?
Although I work in IT I'm a real noob when it comes to this

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?
