Hi people...
Everything was going so smoothly... bootloader unlock... root... some nice root apps... free paid games... and my p8 lite was just feeling so good... until... I flashed twrp with flashify under the name of boot.img... Am I stupid or what?! Now I can only get 2 scenarios... when i turn on the phone it goes directly to twrp. In twrp i get the option to go the bootloader screen... If I choose system it goes back to twrp... I can't get it to start. I downloaded the official tar.gz from emui site but I dont know how can I install it. PLEASE HELP... What should I do in this case?! I miss my baby...
Thanks in advance
You have to restore stock recovery in fastboot mode.

How do I do that?! If I wanted to wipe my phone completely and re-install the OS would be better to do it using twrp or stock recovery?
Thank you very much
Sorry, i misunderstood. If you flashed twrp as boot.img, reflash stock boot in fastboot mode.
flash stock boot.img in fastboot mode
and then flash twrp as recovery
will be like this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot reboot
use the boot.img from stock rom and twrp image you downloaded
Oh no!
Now I made some serious **** to my baby... guess now i'll have to send it to huawei to fix it. I made a full wipe like if it was format c: in computers... everything is gone (i didnt had any personal data) it doesnt have OS even. But when I still had twrp i tried to flash boot.img and recovery.img and now when i start it goes directly to bootloader screen but saying "please update system again" and where it used to say phone unlocked it now says (in red letters):
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
I was able to get to eRecovery with usb connected but when i choose to download e install the new version it gives me the message "wifi starting failed".
It also does not get any instuction with fastboot. but hi suite starts when I connect it. Strange?!
What do you think? Should I send it to huawei? Or is it possible for me to make it work again?
Also tried UPDATE.APP function and all give me fail message.
I'm going crazy!!!! But I love to mess around with android... To me this is the android essence. Fortunately I have a lumia for when my baby doesnt work.loooool
Thank you all
I don't understand why you don't use fastboot. Everybody told you to use it. In our phone situation, without custom kernel or rom, twrp is for experimentation and you cannot mix things.

Well, you warned me... but sometimes i do these kind of *****... So, in this situation you think it's better to send it or is there way to fix this.
By the way, when I enter huawei eRecovery and I get the option to download the firmware through wifi and it says wifi starting failed, is there any way to make this work? And to fastboot do we need to open cmd as administrator to make it work? Because if Hi suite detects the phone I should also be able to fastboot it right?
Thanks for your patience
Just use fastboot aand flash everything
Recovery
Boot

hello I have p8 lite unlocked and rooted, yesterday I wanted to install the TWRP 2.8.7. but I was wrong and I installed twrp for the p8 and not p8 lite.
When I go into recovery mode my phone locks that read huawey, I tried with fastboot command to delete the wrong recovery and install the right of the p8 lite but the result does not change, my phone locks that read huawey
i think The commands that you wrote and that I have quoted are also fine for my case, it's' true?

Hi everyone!!
First of all, thanks to everybody who helped me with this situation.
I now am using my baby again as if it was new. I wiped him completely as i stated before and it was as easy as finding the right firmware (136a) and using the vol down + vol up + power button technique. I put the UPDATE.APP file inside a folder named dload in sdcard using other phone (with my p8 was impossible). After that rebooted the device, pressed those 3 buttons and the instalation started successfully.
I just cant explain how happy i was. I stayed 3 days without it.
After that I have been messing with fastboot so thanks to everyone who made me realize that i didnt need to do all of this, but well, A full wipe is always welcome.
Is there any custom kernel on the way for overclock my baby?
Please explain to me how do I put SOLVED in this thread as my problem is already solved...
Thanks

Yeah finally my phone is working now thanks to you I searched many treads and forums but i cant find a solution. But finally i got an easy solution Thank you again bro.. Good Luck !!!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Just download your firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract boot.img,cust.img,recovery.img and system.img
After that,download mininal adb fastboot copy you files into fastboot folder , enter fastboot mode on your phone and from fastboot folder,open cmd and type these commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
After this your phone will boot normally. Once you've done this, copy update.app to your sdcard or internal and install it by local update. Once you've done all this,your phone is fine.
May I know how do you wipe your internal storage? and what if after wiping, im unable to get into recovery mode? does it mean phone is not usable anymore?
SOLUTION
Hello. I'm the bigest mess on androids but i know that flashing stock recovery can remove any TWRP/CWR. If its too powerfull flash stock boot and run fastboot -w.(fastboot -w erases all PERSONAL data)

That's a defect with the wifi-card. I had this problem too and I sent it to the assistance. They changed all the motherboard and now it's running fine. That is without doubt, the only solution, according to my experience and many other's who had the exact same problem.
I had this once and a reflash helped xP

Download the Firmware for you device from Huawei consumer , the same or up. Unpack the update file and copy the dload folder inside of it into the sdcard root. Power of phone and hold Volume up + Volume down + Power at the same time until the firmware gets flashed. You will see it.

Your GPS and Bluetooth are also gone dead. I have done reflashing, factory reset nothing works. Brought it the Huawei service center , replaced the main board. Everything fixed, however now I can not obtain the bootloader unlock code for the new board from the Huawei site.
Now i have submitted my mobile to huawei service center they said me to wait for 1 week..

thanks to all the members who comment here for helping me.. Really appreciate you guys..!!
PS: I am really sorry for my late reply...
ofc if ur unlocked bootloader it's easy to downgrade ur device
I have already unlocked bootloader, if I send it to huawei service they will say something that it is my fault? I lose warranty?
So this is what happened, I was on I MedroM v3, so I was there was a firmware in beta (the 7.0 update) so I've done it and now I'm stuck in a bootloop
, I flashed the Nougat recovery so it locked my bootloader
and removed TWRP so I can't even go to flash the old rom
again. I also can't get the product id now cause I don't have an OS installed, there's no way to pull it without it an OS. I have tried every existing method possible and nothing (including the sd
card method with update.app and bla bla bla)
So I can't flash files through fastboot It says " Command not allowed"
Can somebody please help me, I have experience with flashing and everything but I in my entire life have not seen that a phone company so big doesn't have a ******** flashtool
or some other way of recovering hard bricked devices instead of buying a new motherboard or something..
If somebody could help me I would be so grateful! Please excuse my language I'm very mad and frustrated, I need my phone for work and now I'm offline..
- Fastboot is available but the bootloader is locked
- No TWRP
- No OS Installed
Download a firmware you want, extract the update.app and put it in sd card folder. From the phone completely shutdown, press vol +, vol - and power at the same time hold it until the updater with percentage progress moving appears.. you should be fine after that.. ? i believe. Maybe try it. That's what i did on my case
No, It says "Software Install failed! Incompatability with current software version"
When I go to eRecovery t says that it cant connect to WIFI.
As I said i tried every known method and I can't get it to work. Spent my whole day trying to fix it, I'm out of ideas

I had the same problem, but with the L31.
First try to use https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Then with the file i send you attached (MAF32)
- Fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Fastboot flash system system.img
- Fastboot flash cust cust.img
- and finally TWRP
After that i puted the first exctrated uppdate.pp in my memory card and with the "3 buttons" process i flashed it. Then i repeated the same process with the second one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...droid-nougat-dev-build-huawei-t3488360/page33). After this finished, again with the 3 buttons i made a factory reset.
5 minutes later, it was working.
i don't understand how to boot to fastboot ? and where to get these img files i am really stuck here pleaase
You don't understand, In order to unlock the bootloader i need the product ID which you get by typing some number combination in the dialer. I cant get to the dialer cause I dont have any OS installed, cause the old was dirty flashed. So thats why i cant flash TWRP etc..
hello, i'm using Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L21. i tried to flash the stock nougat Firmware Which i actually did and it worked flawless! but there was a little problem because there wasn't any Software update option in there, so after that i wanted to downgrade to stock MM.

Ok, this is what I would do if I were you. I would pick a rom in the development section, eg. RR. Then I would extract it and get the system image and boot image and fastboot flash them. To extract the rom, use SuperR's Kitchen.
Hope this helps.

Hi!
There is this but I haven't tested it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/extract-dat-marshmallow-lollipop-easily-t3334117
Let us know how it goes!
Hello,
I was always a Samsung fanboy, but than I decided to buy the P9 lite (VNS-L21 single sim)
I wanted to flash the android 7 update for my phone, but I was such a noob in Huawei, that I didn't understand a word. But i tried to do what the instructions said. Now my phone is bricked. I can go to recovery, erecovery (which can't download anyithing) and download mode. I heard of this fastboot stuff as well, but I don't know how to do this. I tried to flash as many roms as I could with dload and it didn't work, after 5%, it said it failed... Now I don't know what to do. I think somebody (expert) should make a clear tutorial for noobs. Oh and I almost forgot that i don't have root, custom recovery, and things like that. I just bought the phone, I didn't want to make big changes, just new android. Is it possible that after this Huawei would fix my phone, if I couldn't? Or warranty is void? And sadly I don't know more of my phone because I'm not ina rom, and the phone and papers don't say more.
If you could help me, I would appreciate it:
Raul
Turn off your phone, connect to the pc while holding the volume down button, you will end up in fastboot mode.
I assume you have ADB and drivers installed (if not, install ADB and device drivers).
Optional: unlock your bootloader if it's locked.
Download the latest offical rom zip for your phone version (the marshmallow one), extract the update.app.
Use Huawei extractor to ectract the following files (google is your friend in this one, but its not difficult):
boot.img
recovery.img
cust.img
system.img
After you've done this, connect your phone to the PC in fastboot mode .
Open a command promt from the folder where the extracted files are (shift+right click, Open Command window here), enter the following commands
fastboot devices (you will see the list of attached devices with a lot of random number + fastboot)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
After all this, you should be good to go, just be sure you are using the correct rom for you version.
Or you can just serach on the forum and find this.

Hello. I disconnected it from everything (for example USB)When I tried to install it said something like incompatibility version, but it couldn't be because I tried many roms for my phone. And I tried some dual sim roms as well because, I thought that it might work... But then I will do that unlock if it will do good. Thanks for the help Without bootloader I can't flash from dload as well?

Heyho,
the dload method works always without unlock bootloader. But, u can't flash for example an B161 over an B3xx (what nougat is) if the update u installed modified already the oeminfo u are not able to flash any rom below B3xx (nougat) via dload.
-
In that case u might use the official rollback package (never tested it myself) or, u unlock ur bootloader, flash a TWRP recovery matching to ur current FW. Flash from there a oeminfo + custom.bin (lower than B3xx) and flash the FW matching to the new oeminfo via dload and stock recovery.
Regards,
Sebastian
If you have custom recovery, wipe everything. Data, system, boot. extract update app (which is your stock rom) with huawei update extractor. go to custom recovery, flash stock boot IMG and stock recovery IMG. Power off, use three button dload method, reboot, when booting press vol up for three second, now you are in e-recovery. Press shutdown. Press and hold power and vol up for stock recovery. Do factory reset. If need do the factory reset 2/3 times. Now you are with locked bootloader.

Alright so where i'm at now is basically the aftermath of a failed attempt to install a cyanogen unofficial rom for my phone.
I have a p9 lite VNS-L23 dual sim and well basically, i unlocked the bootloader and i rooted it with twrp and installed superuser using the srk tool. Everything worked fine up to this point until i booted into recovery, cleared cache and data etc to do a clean install and the install failed with an error code 7.
I thought doing a twrp backup before the flash was effective but because it didnt take any length of time, i sort of thought it definitely wasnt a full backup but i didnt pay it any attention and tried to flash it anyway since iv'e never had probs flashing anything with other of the phones ive had before which was my main mistake.
Usb debugging was enabled before trying to flash. I thought it failed because i didnt change my file system but i had no idea how to do that so i avoided it and tried to install a newer version of twrp to see if the rom would work with the updated version instead. When flashing the twrp img file, it asked where i wanted to install and i think i selected bootloader instead of boot cause there were only 2 options.
After than finished and i chose to restart in recovery, recovery never loaded. I was getting erecovery but that couldnt help me either. I was just stuck with no os and a phone stuck on the bootscreen. I tried to unbrick my phone by installing the update file for the international version firmware which i downloaded which was the only one not to fail after trying 2 others before it before realizing the error i was making. I read online that it would restore my phone back to ofw and that was great considering i had no os installed. Now, after the update, i think i reached like 100% then it went blank. I tried to wait a couple seconds to see if it was rebooting but nothing happened. tried all button combinations with and without the charger for varying lengths of time but no luck. I hear a sound when its connected to my laptop tho so idk if that matters. Its a bit frustrating right now and i have no clue how to fix this problem and i havent even had the phone for a long time. If someone. anyone can help me, id more than appreciate it
So far, nothing is responding to anything. No lights, no vibrations and i dont see anything when it conencts to my laptop, my laptop just makes the connected sound. I see Fastboot 2.0 detected but the srk tool cannot detect any emulators or devices :/ im so depressed at this point. More or less just bought the ****.
Sounds bad, try using the dload method and if that doesn't work you are ******.
What is the output of "fastboot devices"

its the dload method that has me in this mess. It didnt reboot from the upgrade and since then i think ive been in fastboot mode. I get a response with the fastboot devices cmd and i manage to flash the boot, recovery and system of the stock firmware but still no luck. Think my only option is to use dc phoenix but i cant buy credits for that

not getting to the upgrade screen with dload, the phone restarts but nothing on screen. I can use fastboot only to flash and unlock bootloader, check specifications but thats it. I flashed the stock image which is mm thru fastboot but no luck. I read that i might wait for my battery to drain since my battery isnt rly made to be removable. Can i still use dload without any on screen response?
Have you also tried flashing vendor, cust ... partitions ?

Fastboot doesnt flash certain img's such as xloader etc, no vendor img included inside the update but i doubt i'd be able to flash it anyway, but i flashed everything i was allowed to incl. cust, boot, recovery, system, cache, . Everything else is giving error: command not allowed. I've hit a brick wall so far til my battery drains or i take it to a repair shop which is i guess, last resort. Can't seem to find help anywhere on the internet, nothing returns anything to the screen.
Looks like a hard brick, take it to an official repair shop. But remember: unlocking the bootlader does NOT void the warranty.
