Since I lost everything from the boot to the recovery to the system part to anything, i haven't been able to boot the phone;
I can access erecovery but when I try to recover the phone it stops at downloading and then says couldn't connect to servers so that's dead;
I can access TWRP but when I try to flash MM, it returns errors saying that it couldn't mount partitions (Vendor, cust and other...)
I can access fastboot mode. Some people suggested that I should try recovering using dload but the transfert rate to the sd card is taking forever;
Now I extracted everything from update.app using huawei firmware extractor (see http://imgur.com/MWeCCXi ) what should I flash (via fastboot) and in what order?
I would really appreciate the help.

By Nougat I assume you mean the file that has been digged out somewhere in the web and that is floating around here in the forums?
Well we all don't really know what this build exactly is, which makes it very hard to reconstruct your errors and give you advice... I would never flash that but okay, that's why we are here
Do you have a TWRP backup that you can restore (and if no, maybe somebody can upload you a clean TWRP restore file)?
Have you tried flashing CM / AICP?

Hi there. Earlier I spent a few painful hours in the same boat you were in. I've managed to get back to a fresh install of the Nougat build from this thread, but can't seem the downgrade to MM using the (translated from Spanish) instructions found here (linked from that first thread). How did you manage to get back to MM?
(I should add that I tried to flash boot, system and recovery via fastboot without any success).
Cheers

May god have mercy on your soul.
For the downgrade, I didn't use the b161 directly. I flashed some oeminfo provided in the same folder as the TWRP. Then used b150 ans the three boutons method. Worked like a charm.
Hope it will help you downgrade your phone.
I have the same problem, someone could explain it to me step by step, please

Hi there,
I bought P8 Lite from Greece as a Single Sim.
I manage thru internet to find some firmware updates and i end up updating my P8 Lite with B170 and I made it finally dual sim.
Now Wifi, bluetooth are not working at all...
The only way to make wifi to work is to put it on top of the router, and then find the connection and working.
I saw on various sites that many people having the same problem with B170.
I made a search for downgrade, but still i don't have understand how i can downgrade my phone to a working firmware.
(I have tried resets and etc but nothing happened).
There is any solution to this issue ?
Please i need help to this one is like not having a phone anymore.
Thank you in advance.
How I Install an older firmware after Rooting the phone.
In the end i managed finally to root my P8 Lite,
I have B170 on it...
But I don't understand how I can install / Downgrade B120 for example now that is rooted..
The only firmwares i have is .zip files, when you unzip they have only the Update.App file inside.
There is anyone that can help me out with this issue ??

I did that already, you cannot downgrade the firmware... all the times i tried, i have update fail msgs...
you cannot go from B170 to B132 for example...
thats why i am trying another way to do it...but no luck unfortunately, not even with google (i have spend like a week searching),
not even here i guess ....
i have root access, I also put TWRP... (Flashify and all the rest family of apps of that style) but still i cannot do nothing ...
And everything starts because on B170, Wifi and Bluetooth are not working at all....
I check also for custom roms, but no chance at all ..... just i need a way to put B132 back to the phone....
you need to extract update.app using huawei update extractor,after you can flash using fastboot command(for example fastboot flash SYSTEM system.img) extract in the folder adb(you need to flash boot.img,recovery.img,system.img and userdata.img)

Oh ! Thank you for your answer! (Y)
I did everything, in the start i tried to put the B132 but no luck because was an error on system.img flash.
In the end i manage to update (downgrade) to ALE-L21C432B052 !!
But still WIFI is not working !! I still getting the access denied msg, and only when i put the phone on top of the router is working...
Anyone has a solution for this issue...??
I was thinking that was the B170 (because i found many complains on the web, but seems something else is the problem)
it might be a problem with your antena built in the phone,in that case I sugest you to take your phone to a service

This is use for B132 :
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
but when i was typing the system flash i had an error, (so i never did the fastboot reboot)
I found B052 that was ready for flash (i mean without the UPDATE.APP, was with the .img files and adb,mfastboot)
and direct from the previous mode of the update i re-type the following commands.
adb.exe reboot-bootloader
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash cust cust.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
The phone was working before without any problem with wifi and bluetooth, ( i have it 2 months already)
before i make the first update for the dual sim story, wifi already was acting strange a bit,
and because i am traveling, first time i saw that was on an airport, the wifi couldn't connect on there router.
but i was thinking that is the airport router wifi problem.
But after i realise that was the phone, and after i tried B132, B136a, B170 and now B052,
the only way to get connected is to place the phone on top of the router.
* I was thinking that is the updates because when i search on google for wifi problems,
i saw some other users facing wifi / bluetooth problems after updates,
and i never think of a device problem..
Also i didn't find any of them with a solution about it...
So you think is the device?
You have any suggestion to try before i send it for service ? Just to clarify that is device problem...

I don't know how but this just helped me UNBRICK my P8 Lite ALE-L21. Thank you. After many tries.
How I solved the problem;
Used the huawei update extractor to extract the above files i.e boot, recovery, system, cust from downloaded firmware.
Then booted to fastboot mode and flashed them 1 by 1.
And for the moment of truth - "fastboot reboot" ENTER and I got my P8 Lite back. With all my settings & data.
This guide helped me do most of the commands - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-unbrick-huawei-p8-failed-t3260704
Well done
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hi, my problem is with the L31,
I've trying to downgrade from Nougat to MM. I saw on the thread this steps and i followed:
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img (This one is in the second zip from badwolf nougat download)
Then I flashed badwolfs recovery b2 as that one lets me transfer files from pc to phone and followed instructions from htcmania from here".
The problem is that i didn't reach to downgrade and when i try to reinstall Nougat by TWRP i get this error messages:
" E: Unknow comand (errno) update_huawei-pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed"
"Updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/DLoad/Update.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done"
Now my phone stays freeze on the huawei logo and the flashtool doesn't even recognize my device.
Can someone help me with this matter, please?

Good luck
so now i restored twrp , i put the update app in sd card and it doesn't want to flash , i'm still trapped in bootloop but i have access to twrp now what to do now ?
I found the old twrp is okey for downgrade,
Just put b161 update.app into sdcard/dload and press volume down + power key.
but flash badwolf's twrp will get stuck in fastboot, though It's not really bricked.
hi, maybe you also have a solution for my problem.
i installed a wrong update via sd card (dload etc.), now my phone is just black no signal nothing. and it seems like a fastboot loop always when i plug into the pc im in fastboot without doing anything
when i try to unlock the bootloader i get "failed command not allowed")
and also when i try to flash the extracted files from update.zip i get the same error ("failed command not allowed")
by the way i didnt active usb debuggin or oem unlocking
please help thank you
So for some background, I was on EMUI 4.1 and successfully flashed to EMUI 5.
Then, I wanted to rollback so I flashed recovery again and stock firmware. I tried flashing with fastboot and didn't work. I tried using Huawei recovery 3-button method, no luck either.
Errors using fastboot flashing:

When I was booting into Revolution recovery, I could not mount SD card and some other partitions so maybe that has something to do with the 3-button method problem... Furthermore, I don't know how to check which version exactly my phone is, all I know is that it was VNS-L31.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that is constantly rebooting so how do I proceed?
First of all...
Please tell me you have a backup of your Nougat ROM. If yes, restore it.
I have failed to go back to MM several times like you before.
It really is a question of using the right files.
First, flash the OEMInfo that is provided here in the forums.
Second, flash the right firmware. This one is tricky. For me, ONLY VNS-L31 Version C150 worked. No other.
Flashing with fastboot always never works. It always gives an error on system. So you need to find a firmware that works with 3-button method.
Your task now is the get back to working Nougat, since you did something wrong.
Unlock BL, flash Nougat recovery with fastboot.
Then,
easiest is like I said restoring a backup.
If you don't have one, try flashing the Revolution ROM by BadWolf.

Have just solved the problem with the steps from here.
From my understanding, it seems that I lost almost everything, device info, OEM info, recovery... So no technique was working.
The solution in brief was:
1. Go into bootloader to flash recovery (I used Revolution Recovery)
2. In recovery, flash OEM info.
3. Then used the 3-button method to install stock version for the appropriate model (which I could see from OEM info).
4. Unlocked bootloader, triggering a factory reset. (I was stuck in infinite boot before this point.)
As you say Schlengge, it is a matter of using the right files! Thanks. Problem solved.
Hi so I been seeing many people getting stuck on fastboot after flashing ROM so here is the method u can use if u can't boot to TWRP also.
I have tired on PA ROM and it works so idk about others ROMs ..
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash logo logo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash misc misc.img (u can get on fastboot rom not .zip)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recommend used twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix).. Russian one
And after those comands do run TWRP auto installer.
U can find those files from fastboot stock ROM. This will save ur data and u won't needed to flash Stock ROM ..
Hope I explained everything if anything else needed comment down below.
Hi, i'm stuck in this fastboot limbo but can't find some of these files you mentioned: logo.img and misc.img
Where do i get them?
edit: nevermind, solved flashing fastboot miui with miflash pro.
EDIT 2: after flashing a rom i get stuck in fastboot everytime. How to avoid this?
Also tried flashing those files in that exact sequence but still stuck in fastboot.
My persist.img is shown not writable in cmd if I try to flash it. If I flash a rom using TWRP an error pops up saying "failed to mount /persist' (Invalid Argument).
SOLVED- Flashing persist.img from twrp "Install Image" works.

Hi, please follow this setups and it should be fine .
If you run into errors flashing fastboot images to your device, edit the .bat files that came with it. Usually you want to edit "flash_all.bat"
For "Missmatching image and device":
Remove the lines highlighted in the screenshot from the file, save and try flashing it again.
For Antirollback Error:
Remove ALL lines ABOVE the highlighted lines in the screenshot from the file, save and try flashing it again.
Always make sure that you got the right image for your device. Removing check lines from these files can permanently brick your device if you use the wrong fastboot image.

Hello, good day. I just wanted to ask, (Im using custom rom now and my old backup is nowhere to be found) If I am going to flash my device to official stock rom, like if I flashed the older version (lets say the MM) can I still update my device today (up to nougat) through OTA update?
i think huawei cloud is the site where we download OTA updates from but I think is already dead.
(sorry if my poiint is confusing, I just really don't know how to explain it clearly)

So if I not mistaken, your build number is VNS-L31C185 EMUI 5 (correct me if I'm wrong).
Firmware finder and Huawei old server are down, so download service ROM.
IMO now you have two possibilities:
A) flash Service ROM using dload method, guide can be found in ReleaseDoc folder. The process will erase all your data and lock the BL again!
B)
- from downloaded ROM extract BOOT.img
RECOVERY.img
SYSTEM.img
CUST.img via 'Huawei update extractor' , follow Guide
(Note: CUST.img on Nougat can be found in the second archive)
- In fastboot mode flash extracted partitions using commands
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
- fastboot reboot
- Factory reset in stock recovery

Oh yeah. I just figured it out but had to rename that to update.app so update extractor can accept the file. Thanks by the way.
for now SYSTEM and CUST takes time to finish extracting.

Try command
fastboot erase userdata
and reboot.
Check your current build number etc.

Bro try this way out...
Download and install TWRP (if possible) and let me know
Upd.: nevermind, I forgot you don't have an sd card,.
Upd.2.: without SD you can try to flash Service ROM (or B361 firmware) using TWRP and sideload method. Unfortunately, sideload is Greek to me , so google it.

I can still go fastboot mode and install everything without any errors but I don't why, it confuses me that let say I just flashed recovery (custom or stock) but when I'm going to access it (volume up + power button) phone just vibrates twice but nothing will happen.

Flash TWRP over eRecovery, run command
fastboot flash recovery2 twrp.img
fastboot reboot
when a yellow warning appears on the screen, pres and hold Vol Up for 3 sec.
Edit: maybe your data partition is formatted with f2fs (after installing Elite ROM) , it should be ext4. I'm out of ideas bro, sorry.

No problem. I think I hard bricked my phone, I just got boot logo and fastboot but I can't find any fix or solution or anything to do with this.
Flashing recovery or recovery2 finished w/o any errors but I can't boot to recovery.
Thanks for your help by the way. I appreciate it! Kudos and have a nice day. Keep safe.

IMO you only need an SD card and flash the Service ROM.
