P8 Lite won't boot with any ROM - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just bought a P8 Lite, the seller told me that after he updated android, it got bricked. I've been trying to install a new ROM via Fastboot, and all goes well, fastboot says that system.img was installed and everything, but when I try to boot it just stays the same.
I can't even enter EMUI with vol+ and power button.
I've tried like 3 different roms.
It's the single sim version.
Any ideas?
I'm from Mexico and the phone was with Unefon.
Thank you!

It should work, though installing TWRP and then using this to install official firmware in TWRP might be better https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702

I've done it and I can't get into recovery mode, also, I think that it doesnt charge any more, when I connect it to the charger it starts to blink a red led.

Bruh! Just do this.
Open TWRP and Make sure you have 3.1.1.0 version.
Download any firmware for your phone and flash it with TWRP and done! Is that hard? P.s 3.1.1.0 TWRP can flash update.app file but it needs to be in zip file

Software install failed!

Hi guys,
I have a honor 6 plus (PE-TL10), it was running EMUI 4. I flashed TWRP 2.8.7 and then wiped all partitions through it(cust,system,etc) then flashed stock recovery back, now i am trying to install EMUI 4.0.1(Android 6.0) via 3 buttons Huawei update but it stops at 5% and fails. Can you guys provide me with any help, I really need it.
Also now when i am trying to wipe data thru stock recovery i get an weird error message at almost 25% saying "reset balong modem setting fail", which making it more difficult to get back stock rom.
Just last question; the Unbrick option in the "HONOR_6_and_6Plus_Multi-Tool", wil it restore the device to stock rom and fully functional state after that or it will miss some parts of the stock rom ?
Many thanks and regards

For you to restore to stock you need to flash boot, recovery, system and cust.
Make sure you have stock boot and recovery to for forced update (3 buttons).
What happens in most of the cases is boot and recovery files are corrupt.
I would try the unbrick of the Multitool. If it fails, I would flash manually all img files for each partition. But using the same firmware version as the last installed one.
Post your results and I will try to help.
1:Extract the ROM with huawei update extractor
2:download latest minimal adb and fastboot drivers and install them
3ut the extracted system.img,recovery.img,cust.img,boot.img and userdata.img into the fastboot.exe folder
4: boot into the fastboot mode
And finally flash the above mentioned imgs one by one with this command
fastboot flash XXX XXX.img
After flashing files type
Fastboot reboot
and every thing should be fine again

Thank you for answering, I did used Huawei MultiTool and Unbricked my device. I flashed four img files(SYSTEM,CUST,RECOVERY,BOOT) and now i am back to stock rom and running smoothly.
I tried to use force update feature on my device after that but again i got the same result, it stopped at 5% and failed. I guess i will keep it the way it's now.
Many thanks; you guys are awesome!

Thank you, I did that except for userdata.img file, the Huawei MultiTool only mentioned 4 files(system,recovery,boot,cust). Now my device is running back again on stock rom. Should I flash userdata.img file or is it ok?
Just a question that i keep asking myself; inside the stock update.app file there are 22 img files, what do they do? I only flashed four of them so what purpose do the rest serve as? if the device can operate fully functional with four of them!
Many thanks,

Don't use any other img file. And don't flash userdata.
If it works, don't change it. ?
Got similar issue on my honor 6. Can't update via SD card method or 3 button after leaving developer preview. Not even OTA updates install. All fail at 5%. So I'm stuck on B830 for now. Will try for a solution later.

Previously when I tried to boot to recovery with twrp flashed it just stayed on the "booting to recovery now..." page but never actually got there. I waited like 20 minutes before giving up.

Is there a seperate link for Nougat twrp? The one I downloaded was 3.1.0 from the twrp website which is the latest version and compatible with nougat as far as i know.
P9 lite does not have official TWRP.

my bad, im in the wrong forum altogether lo. I have the P9, was searching for an answer and mustve selected the wrong search options which lead me to the p9 lite thread. Fixed it though and figured out what the problem was. Apparently TWRP doesn't play nice when you try and boot it while its plugged into a pc. Unplugged it from PC and it booted without issue. So im sitting here using adb reboot recovery when I should have been doing the finger dance with the cable unplugged lol.
Figured I may aswell post the solution here anyway in case someone makes the same mistake I did.

Cant flash systen or cust on CHM-UL01 (GPlay Mini)

Soo this time, I need some help. My mother owns an Gplay mini and because any stock way to update it was failing, I unlocked her bootloader and tried to flash the newest B596 from the general section. Flashing boot and recovery went fine, but system and cust just fails Everytime with an unknown error.
I can't boot anymore because I have the B596 boot image flashed. TWRP also didn't. It just wouldn't boot into the recovery and stay at the Huawei logo.
I know this is P8 Lite Section, but most G Play/Honor 4c users lurk around here because the honor 4c forums seems dead.

Well, I found an old OTA and I was able to use the recovery and boot inside to boot back into my system. At this moment it's flashing an update. Cust is already written and system seems to works as well. I think I fixed my mistake. I tried to flash from 4.4. directly to 6.0. I will report back if I can get what I want.

Hey man thanks that you tried to help me. I'm fine now. I flashed an old recovery from an OTA I found. Then I was able to use force update to install an UPDATE.APP I had on my SD Card. Tbh I don't even know what exact version it was, turns out it was Honor 4c B570 Europe region. Im just glad that I do not need to tell my mother that I broke her phone. Her phone is now rocking the newest P8 Lite Firmware. After I booted into Marshmallow, I was able to install TWRP and it all went fine.

Hello, i’m looking for the update file for my phone. I’m currently on EMUI 4.1, to which i foolishly downgraded to last weekend. I would like to update with the SD Card and dload folder method, but i can’t find the stock EMUI 5 rom anywhere.

Thanks, i tried method 3 first but it failed (i have an unlocked bootloader though), so then i tried method 1 (i had twrp from meticulus already installed) first went to install only the update.zip in twrp, it failed, but when i rebooted, the phone is now updated to emui 5. Also my build number is now the test keys nonsense, but that happened to me before and i know how to fix that.
Thanks, your guide worked.

Install TWRP for Nougat, e.g. this one:
3.1.0.2
Install it over eRecovery with command
fastboot flash recovery2 xxxxxxx.img
Copy to the SD card the second file - hw_eu.zip from B370.
Boot into TWRP, click WIPE, then FORMAT DATA , after REBOOT SYSTEM.
The smartphone will start rebooting: as soon as the technical menu appears on the screen (yellow warning) press and hold Volume Up up to 3 sec, and here you are in TWRP again.
Click INSTALL and flash update_data_full_VNS-L21_hw_eu.zip.
Reboot into stock Recovery and do factory reset.
