P8 Lite (ALE-L21) bricked

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 ^^

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

Soft brick CAN-L11 / Really need help

Hi everybody, i soft bricked my lovely Nova, here is the situatiuon :
- I tried to update the phone with the Emui 5 OTA zip but the phone turned off and now won't boot anymore
- When i try to boot normaly, it show the Huawei eRecovery and fail to recover the phone
- I can boot on fastboot mode / rescue mode
- I have TWRP installed and can boot on it but when i try to flash the can-L11c432.zip supplied by MORPH, it says "Failed to mount '/cust'" and stops here.
I really don't know what to do, moreover i lost the backup i made with TWRP.
If someone can help me i'll offer him a meal (paypal)
Sorry for my bad english and have a nice day everyone.

Hi Keezle,
here is the recovery.img from the EMUI5 Beta Update. Flash it with fastboot and apply the update once again (Boot with Power + Vol down + Vol up) After the Update is complete make a full wipe in the stock recovery.
You need a external SD Card with the dload folder thats include the Update.

I came to a similar situation. The CUST supplied by Morph seems not to be flashable. Untick the CUST when flashing the NANDROID. It will go through the process and the phone will eventually boot again.

Si, i put the C432B320 update.zip in dload folder on an external SD Card, i flashed the Emui 5 beta update recovery successfully, but when i boot with Power + Vol down + Vol up it starts the installation and stops at 5% saying "Software install failed !". Should i use another update.zip file ?
Thank you MORPH

Maybe unpack the C432B320 until you have an update.app in dload folder. I did that and flashed the ROM. The first try was a failure and I had to restore a NANDROID (bootloop). Currently, I'm trying to flash it again but now with the EMUI5 recovery morph has supplied.

But be careful and have a backup. I just flashed it and it seems not to work again :/ It just keeps on sitting on the Huawei logo for minutes now. That's it.

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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder

@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.

I think I might have bricked my P9 Lite (total noob here, desperate for help)

Hey, guys.
I'm totally new to this whole rooting of phones and I gave it a go with my Huawei P9 Lite yesterday. After some trial and error I managed to unlock my bootloader, then I got TWRP on the phone, booted into that, then got SuperSU on there and booted into a totally whiped phone. Here I deleted the bloatware I wanted to. Afterwards I wanted to un-root my phone which SuperSU allowed me to. At one point I got a screen that said "Attempt to restore stock boot image? This is required for OTAs to succeed. If you manually decrypted you device, note that this might prevent your device from booting". I pressed "Yes" as my guide said to. I booted into the same totally whiped phone however the bloatware was back. I deleted it again, went to un-root in SuperSU and then pressed "No" instead.
Now when I turn on my phone I get the Huawei eRecovery where I can "Download latest version and recovery" (which doesn't work), Reboot and Shutdown. I can also enter Fastboot (white screen, green android and some text). I am stuck here. I tried different things, such as making a folder on an empty micro-SD card called "dload" with the UPDATE.APP in it, then pressed and held both + and - volume and power, booted into the recovery and it failed at 5%.
Can any of you guys help me? I am at a total loss - I'm a total noob at these kind of things so I would really appreciate any help I can get.
Also my phone is a VNS-L31C432B380 with dual sim bought in Denmark.
Kind regards
Martin

You shouldn't have pressed the "No" button.
First , you'll need to download the rollback package from here: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93784&version=373401&siteCode=nlen
Second , put the update.app file in dload folder and boot into dload mode and let it install .
Third , download the firmware for your phone: http://bit.ly/2eRLmGn (It's VNS-L31C432B160)
Fourth , put the update.app file in dload folder and boot into dload mode.
This should work.
edit: If you don't understand , you need to put the rollback package first and let it install , then the firmware and install it.

Awesome, I will try this tomorrow. Just to be sure, when you tell me to put the different files in dload, is it enough that I use my empty microSD, create a folder called dload and put them there? Because right now my phone will not even connect to my PC, only recharge it.
I will tell you how it went tomorrow, thanks in advance

Doesn't matter if it's empty or not , you just need enough space.
First , you'll need to copy the rollback package update.app , boot into dload mode and let it install
Second , after the rollback package installed , you'll need to copy the firmware update.app into dload folder , boot into dload mode and then let it install.

You just saved my ass BIG TIME, I can't thank you enough!
I just rooted my phone again, deleted the apps I wanted to delete. Now do you know of a way to unroot my phone back to its normal state (before root) while keeping the bloatware deleted? Sorry if I ask stupid questions, but I am really new to this whole thing.
