You can always revert back to the old legacy roms, like the B138. The update will fail again, but you will have reverted back to the unlocked bootloader, thus allowing you to mount the system folder onto your pc
Btw, lot's of people have proplems flashing the official firmware. What the whell is Huawei thinking?

Help unbricking my huawei p8

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

Flash the C432 oeminfo then reflash B160...
And never flash L21 firmware on L31... If you have L31 flash L31 firmware!.

Thanks for responding! I know it sounds stupid but can you write step by step what I should do now? Im really new to the whole flash, Recovery thing. 70% what I have done was luck. Im sorry for my English Im German.

1.unlock your bootloader
2.install twrp
3.download c432 oeminfo and b160 update.zip
4.copy c433 oeminfo to your sd card/phone and extract update.app from update.zip and put it in dload folder in sd card(you make dload folder)
5.boot to recovery and flash oem info
6.turn off your phone
7.hold power,volume down+volume up buttons till update starts to install and be patient

ok, I wanted to flash the oeminfo and they were 2 options: install into boot or install into recovery. I couldnt install into boot so I installed into recovery. The installation was succesfull. After that I tried to install the update.app but when I press down the three buttons, it starts the Huawei Erecovery. So I tried it with the secret menu to do a local update but after that it starts the Erecovery again.

When I try to flash it into boot (what i think what I suppost to do) it says that the file is too large to flash it into boot partition.

it should work both ways, are you sure you have the correct oeminfo? just try to flash oeminfo in meticulus twrp and then use the 3 buttons to flash update.app in sdcard/dload

Are you sure you are pressing all three buttons? Make sure all buttons are working,because you shouldnt get erecovery by doing that

force shutdown phone , if not work take backpanel out no screws only little gleu and 5-6 normal screws inside, plug off battery and then put inside > hold volume + and - together and press power volume button untill you see the huawei logo.

Ok, I checked my volume buttons they are working. But I press all three buttons and still it starts twrp.

Hardest Bricked my P10 Plus. Can't even turn my phone off.

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.

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.

Big Trouble, phone bricked no solution found...

Hello!

i have bricked my phone badly.., i tried to install the ota update for P10 Plus (VKY-L29C432B123) with FlashFire and in the middle of the update the phone went black and my problems began getting worse.
i rebooted the phone and got into Error mode Func No: 11 (recovery image) and Error No: 2 (boot faild in recoveryboot mode!).
so i followed a guide and reinstalled twrp to attemp to restore the system somehow, so i kept following the guide and i went into twrp --> wipe --> format data and here my real problems began..
i did many attemps to install any firmware both stock and roms but i got into system mount problem and i can't do anything to transfer files to system i have tried adb but it can't find my device, tried adb sideloaded doesn't work eaither.
so i am stuck in no where..

could you tell me how did you get rid of this error message? im not able to boot into the bootloader, or not completely because the device is not recognized in fastboot.. everytime i turn it off, it turns automatically on and end in, it looks like the bootloader, but with that two error messages, so im not able to do anything..

To boot into bootloader mode you have to plug the usb and hold volume down while booting.
