sooo yesterday I thought id be smart and try install an ota while rooted using flashify I obviously ignored the warning as if nothing bad could happen well it seems flashify went ahead and screwed me over i was trying to fix my mistake because flashify deleted the os so yay no os ok easy fix boot into fastboot downloaded this firm MLA-L03C6540B300CUSTC654D001 after download it i did a bit of playing around in twrp first and noticed system, cust, data, cache were not accesible so i went ahead formatted system i could now mount the system in the mount settings so forward i went with cache and now cache was mountable i could not get cust or data to mount or even be selectable and it read data as 0 bytes so i went ahead deleted the cust folder and the data folder and well now they dont exist wich i belive enlies my new issue i can now boot into fastboot i have replaced twrp with stock recovery extracted from update.app i then went ahead flashed system.img and boot.img using fastboot so recovery works i can get into it but I'm now in a boot loop with some weird ass Huawei symbols instead of the standered red one and it just shoves me into erocvery any help plz?
I did something pretty similar to you and I'm still stuck with my MLA-L03 bricked since a few weeks now...
Few conclusion about the thousand things I've tried:
-With fastboot I could not access cache or data to wipe them even if my bootloader is unlocked.
-I flashed the recovery.img, boot.img and system.img from all MLA-L03 images released from huawei without error but booting to the os still fail
-I can flash and boot or sideload TWRP. It looks like it function with root privileges and I can mount partitions as rw with no error but it does even if still format or wipe them, nothing really changes. Also, I can't access the user data partition. Maybe the fact that I had a finger-locked password encrypted that partition and now I can't even mount, wipe or format it even with root privileges.
So yea I'm stuck now...
As a last note I want to say that a normal boot sequence look like this:
-Show the unlocked bootloader screen with orange text
-Show Huawei logo animation
-Show lock screen
...and my phone currently does that
-Show the unlocked bootloader screen with orange text
-Show Huawei logo animation
-Shuts off and restart
I wish you luck and I'll try to find my notes so I can post more info and maybe someone will understand something out of this mess.

Soooo I fixed this haha how you may ask? 2 days of nothing but time so heres how I did it
Step 1. I downloaded this firmware from boycracked L03C6540B300CUSTC654D001
Step 2. I then extracted the update.app from the zip
Step 3. Using the huawei firmware extracted I extracted recovery boot and system img
Step 4. I then procedeaded to flash them using fast boot did a factory reset and well that didnt work I was still boot looping away
Step 5. Flashed twrp and noticed /system/data /cache were now all mountable only un mountable was cust
Step 5. I then re flashed the stock recovery Wich we extracted earlier after that I put the update.app on a 64gb sandisk micro SD card (one of the high end ones) in a folder called dload
Step 6. Proceed to start phone by holding all3 buttons down
Step 7. The update. App flashed fully in stock recovery and phone started was now in android 7 emui 5
Boot loader was relocked and phone is working great again

Holy ****! Really! I think I did not execute all the steps you did in this particular order so there is a chance that it works with my case also.
At first I want to try to do your steps like this but if that doesn't work for some reason I'll do it exactly as you said:
Step 1. I downloaded this firmware from boycracked L03C6540B300CUSTC654D001
Step 2. I then extracted the update.app from the zip
Step 3. Using the huawei firmware tool extracted I extracted recovery boot and system img

Step 5. Proceed to start phone by holding all3 buttons down
Step 6. The update. App flashed fully in stock recovery and phone started was now in android 7 emui 5
I'll try that as soon as I get the time and I'll get back to you.
I have the same problem I have not been able to revive my Huawei Nova Plus .... I am downloading the recommended firmware for the test ... Question has worked ????
Explain more steps 3 y 4

Ok,
Try the steps that were described but did not work ....
I do not know if I'm doing something wrong but they could help me by being more specific between step 3 and 4 that is done with boot system and recovery extracted

I had a problem with mine too.
I used the extract tool, but found the firmware using google. Think I typed Huawei nova plus recovery.img rogers (carrier phone was from), and was led to a page I could get 2 .zip files.
I downloaded the update.zip file, then extracted to a folder on my desktop. I used the Huawei firmware extract tool on the update.app file in that folder. I extracted BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM.
I then used fastboot to flash them to the phone. After that I rebooted holding the power and vol+, vol- buttons together. And system restore started. It looked like it was freezing at 5 percent but just leave it do it's thing, go for a coffee. When I came back the phone was in Huawei setup and ready to use again.
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot reboot
were commands I used.
(these commands only work if you copy the BOOT, SYSTEM and RECOVERY.img files into same directory as fastboot)
Everything is running like normal now.

I got a nexus7 a week ago but decided to root the device today just to try apps which require root, i rooted it fine but i decided to unroot and thats where the problem started i cant boot pass the google image, i can get into where you hold down volume and power for so many seconds and team win recovery which says i have no OS in the reboot section, i've tryed nexus 7 toolkit v3.2.0 and nexus root toolkit to restore back to factory system but no luck, so is it me doing something wrong or is my nexus 7 just a paper weight now.
Doubt it,
Being you still have a custom recovery you didn't follow the right steps to unroot, might need to unlock the bootloader again, but follow one of the many guides, and try to stay away from a tool kit
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Unlock bootloader
Flash boot, recovery, system, userdata.
Files are zipped in the factory images directly from google.
Wipe cache.
Relock bootloader.
Reboot into recovery.
Factory reset. (Nexus 7 will only see 8GB if you don't do this step)
That is the gist of how it's done.
I followed a step by step guide on laptop man website but when i come to flash the android image it says file too large, i used 4.2.1 from googles site, if i'm correct when you type fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jro03d.zip (in the walkthrough) i can replace it with a later newer android in this case 4.2.1 jop40d
You could do it that way. Some people have. Although I received an error every time I did.
I didn't receive an error when I flashed the files in the zip.
First make sure you have the correct factory image for your device downloaded.
Then make sure you extract the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, and userdata.img files to your fastboot folder and perform the following actions...
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
Lastly, boot your system up into recovery and perform a factory reset from there. If you don't do the last step they you will be stuck with ouly 8GB, vice 16 or 32.
It's that easy.
When i try to boot into recovery mode i get the android mascot with a red triangle, does that mean i have no recovery file.
OOOPS the system booted up into android as the recovery mode didnt work (as above) is there anyway i can reset to factory settings to get the 32GB back as it shows 6GB.
Update: I think i sorted it out now somehow as it shows up as 27.oddGB now (about same as i got it) instead of 6GB, anyway thanks for your help, it seemed complex well it is but once you know whats what it's not so, the hardest part is getting the files and putting them in the right places
When I try to reboot to recovery via the bootloader it just hangs... Can boot to recovery inside android (usually using Rom Manager or another reboot application)... any idea why?
I have read reports that it will hang when booting into recovery if not connected to a PC.
And as for that triangle you see.... That's normal.
That means that your in recovery mode. Your menu is just hidden.
Press power and volume up to view it.
Hello,
I saw that the OTA update to Lollipop was available on my phone today, so I went ahead and let it download. Upon completion of the download, it restarted and applied patches, then restarted again and has been stuck in boot loop for about an hour. After reading several other threads on how to try to reset the phone, I'm stuck. When I try power + volume up or down, the LED status indicator flashes red and I never get to any kind of other screen. Am I completely screwed? I previously had stock 4.4.2 with no modifications.
Finally was able to get to the bootloader menu. Apparently having the phone plugged into the charger was preventing me from getting there for some reason. I ended up having to wipe the phone to get it to boot
so you can get into clock recovery right? download nexus 4 toolkit..that might save your phone. I suggest you to unroot and flash everything to stock and then unlock again and start everything from scratch. good luck.
Similar issue on an OTA upgrade to an unrooted N4. It's stuck on the Lollipol boot screen with the rotating Circle thingies.
I can get to the Android System Recovery but there's no CWM or TWRP on my N4. I'm guessing a factory reset will fix it but is there a way to preserve my pics/files on the phone before doing so?

I guess TWRP Recovery has option to enable MTP and you can access the internal SD card by connecting mobile with computer using usb cable.

Flash TWRP Recovery using fastboot.
1. If you have otg y cable, connect it and use file manager to copy all the files.
2. OTG method is failed then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your Nexus 4 to your computer and Enable MTP in TWRP. now you can use adb pull and push commands.
I ended up going the factory reset route, which wasn't really a bad thing. My photos had been backed up in dropbox and the play store remembered all the apps and were able to reload them. The only things I really had to do was reload some music onto the phone and re-enter passwords for apps.
Same story here: sideloaded the OTA zip file, then had bootloop. Tried a few approaches, but none worked. In the end only wiping the data was the solution for me. Lost some userdata in a few important Apps...
I went through this yesterday. The only way to get it to boot is a Factory Reset from Recovery. It works like magic, but sucks you lose the data.
Got the OTA yesterday and also got a bootloop(stuck in boot screen animation). I couldnt afford losing my photos/videos as i had no backup , so i figured out a super easy to get it to boot without wiping data .
I was unrooted with stock recovery running stock 4.4.2, bootloader was unlocked. I flashed CWM recovery through fastboot and wiped chache+ Dalvik from there then simply rebooted the phone .
I had already tried wiping cache from the stock Android recovery,needless to say that didnt work for me.
If anyone else is having the same problem please try the method above and report back, cheers!
I post this on Google Product Forum 2 days ago. Hope it helps

(updated 29/11/2014)[not perfect but it is a SOLUTION]
The idea of this is to downgrade your nexus 4 without wiping your data, which means stuff you will need includes:
1. adb and fastboot on your computer (I am using mac but you can find it on windows as well. There are tones of website and forums telling you the latest method of getting it onto your computer)
2. factory image of nexus 4(I use 4.4.4, since that's what it was. I don't have the time and energy to try to do the same thing with lollipop. you can try can leave a comment).
update: do NOT try to flash 5.0 rom using this method. You will be stuck at boot loop again
3. usb cable
4. nexus 4 with unlocked bootloader(the process of unlocking bootloader will wipe your device)
5. computer
steps
1. unzip the factory image (something.tgz)
2. for me, after unzipping the .tgz, I still find another .zip inside. unzip that too.
3. hold vol+, vol-, and power button simultaneously to enter fastboot mode
4. open terminal(mac)(it would probably be cmd for windows)
5. connect your nexus 4(in fastboot)
6. to make sure it connect successfully, type "fastboot devices". if something like "005040c0d54bb291 fastboot" appears, you are good. Otherwise, try reconnect your device/boot to fastboot again/use another usb cable
7.now we need to tell the terminal to navigate to the location of the unzipped factory image. to do that, i suggest you put the unzipped folder to somewhere easy to find, like desktop. these are some commands to help you navigate:
"ls" allows you to look at whats inside the current directory of the terminal. For example, this is the output after typing "ls" for me:
some folder Photos
nexus4image.tgz how many folders do you have
5.zip occam-ktu84p
more folder occam-ktu84p.zip
after knowing where you are, use "cd" (below) to go to your folder
"cd" means change directory. For example. "cd Photos" will brings me to the "Photos" folder. And then if I type ls, I will see a whole bunch of photos in my photos. If you go to the wrong folder, type "cd ..", and it will bring you back to the previous folder.
8. flash bootloader.
enter the following command, BUT REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME TO FIT YOURS(DIFFERENT VERSIONS HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME AT THE END(type ls first to help you type the correct name)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30d.img
9. reboot bootloader. just copy and paste
fastboot reboot-bootloader
10. flash radio
enter the following command, BUT REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME TO FIT YOURS(DIFFERENT VERSIONS HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME AT THE END(type ls first to help you type the correct name)
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.03.img
11. reboot bootloader. just copy and paste
fastboot reboot-bootloader
12. flash system
system.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate. This steps takes the longest time, total time on this step is 87 seconds while the others are less then 1 second
fastboot flash system system.img
13. flash boot
boot.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
14. flash recovery
fastboot.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
15. format cache(not the memory, so everything should be fine)
fastboot format cache
16. reboot and wait
this will reboot your device. You probably have to wait for a while to initialise all the apps. after than you are good to go!
fastboot reboot

Hi,
I did search, but I didn't find any solution to the issue. I got the Nexus 6P 64 GB.
I unlocked my bootloader using the 6p Multitool. Thereafter I used my normal method of fastboot (Minimal ADB) to flash the boot.img from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344.
After that I flashed TWRP. Basically I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928.
But my phone is not booting up.
It gives me this error:
Your device software cannot be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader."
But I tried that and it doesn't work. I tried from fastboot restoring to factory, but get the same message.
Please help me!
Did you check the enable oem unlocking in developer settings?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yes. As I said, I achieved the unlock. Now I just can't get back into my phone or recovery or anything other than fastboot (where it says unlock)
isn't "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." the new msg on boot when you are unlocked, and you have to wait ~10 secs before it startup ?
After that, I'm stuck on the Google screen. It just goes on and on. Left it for over 20 minutes at one point and it didn't get past it.
Edit: The multicolored animated google screen. The animation just keeps going and going.
Del.
Your issue might be due to the encryption of the phone. Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3234976
From this thread:
NOTE: Decrypting data is not supported yet. The Nexus 6P will normally attempt to encrypt the device automatically on first boot. To use TWRP as you normally would, you will have to format data and install a slightly modified boot image with forceencrypt disabled. My Nexus 6P should arrive tomorrow and I will start working on decrypt once I get my hands on it.
Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Read through that thread. Part of the issue is that I don't know which variant (MDA89D & MDB08K) I have, or how to find that out seeing as I can't boot into the phone.
If I have the variant I may be able to fix this through the unified toolkit (though I'm not sure of that)
Did you ever fix this?
Try flashing the factory image and starting from scratch. You must have messed up somewhere. Re-download the boot.img from Chainfire's thread, maybe that was corrupt or something.
1. Download the MDB08K factory image (it's not a variant, it's a Marshmallow update) and unzip it.
2. Download the MDB08K boot.zip from Chainfire's modified boot.img thread
3. Download latest SuperSU beta zip
Wipe phone in TWRP, to include format data.
In bootloader, fastboot flash MDB08K
fastboot flash modified boot.img (from zip)
In TWRP, ADB sideload SuperSU
Reboot and it should perform normally.

Thank you for your reply, but I can't get into TWRP either!! Any way for me to restore to factory or do the repairs from in flashboot without the restore?
I ran into the same issue last night trying to install TWRP. I'm still not sure how to get around it but I did get my phone back. you should be able to get to the bootloader (hold the power button until phone turns off, then hold vol up+vol down+power) once there use ADB fastboot to go back to stock.
this link will walk you through what you need. follow step 7.

here it is as well:
How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader (section 1).
Download the appropriate factory images for your model here.
Unzip the angler-xxxxxx-factory-xxxxxxxx (x's replace variables) into a directory on your PC (for this guide we'll use C:\angler\).
Once unzipped you should have a folder named angler-xxxxxx (x's replace variables). Open it and move the following files to a new directory named C:\angler\images\:
bootloader-angler-angler-01.31.img
radio-angler-angler-01.29.img
(Please note that radio and bootloader naming changes from build to build so the filenames and below commands will change with them)
Within C:\angler\angler-xxxxxx\ you'll see another zip archive named image-angler-xxxxxx, unzip the contents of that zip into the C:\angler\images\ folder we created before. Now within C:\angler\images\ you should have the following files:
android-info.txt
boot.img
bootloader-angler-angler-01.31.img
cache.img
radio-angler-angler-01.29.img
recovery.img
system.img
userdata.img
vendor.img
Boot into the bootloader and connect your phone to your PC via usb cable.
Open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder (navigate to where you have fastboot.exe located on your PC, shift + right click anywhere within that folder, select open command prompt here), enter these commands to flash:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-01.31.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-m8994f-2.6.28.0.65.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash userdata C:\angler\images\userdata.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img
Thank you. I was eventually able to do tysonwald's suggestion. First I didn't know what my version was, so I couldn't.
At some point I was able to get into the phone with constant gapp errors, check it.
Now my phone is unlocked and rooted. But when I go to settings to security (and when I tried to set up my fingerprint) settings crashes. Any ideas?
There was still some issue. I wiped the phone with the above method again, did NOT set up twrp/root, and everything works. It was something about the custom boot image I guess. Any advice if I want to try to set it up again?
Problem solved. Needed to update to newer image before doing everything. Issue resolve from Heisenberg's thread. Thank you all!
I had the same damn issue last night. Thise bootleg instructions had me flashing build k boot.img on build D. Maybe i wasnt paying attention lol!
I have a very similar problem, I flashed the k boot img. and now I'm stuck in an endless bootloop any idea?

I had a similar issue just now where my phone got stuck at the TWRP logo. Selecting the reboot option in download mode refused to remove it. I had to follow step 10 to get my phone back to stock. I'm afraid to try this again now
Is there anyway to know which version do i need to download? i bought the phone already bricked and i am trying to bring it back to life
Hi,
I'm all new to rooting and I got a major issue.
Here's the story.
Wanting that substratum themes, I looked up for rooting my devices
I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader, and all was fine.
Next, I followed this one for rooting, but at the "installing nexus drivers" step, my PC wasn't showing off any driver setup or something related to a driver.
I pressed Enter, despite the fact that I didn't know if I had nexus drivers properly installed, and my phone didn't want to boot up. Stuck on the boot animation, for more than 20 hours.
Next day, I came back and found this mega thread about unbricking. I followed it, and now I'm in a boot loop: my phone reboot 1-2 secs after showing the home screen, but I can still enter in fast boot mode. My phone is still unlocked and when I enter Huawei's eRecovery (by long-pressing up volume button) to try to "Download new version and recovery" it connects to my Wi-Fi, then fails.
Thanks for your patience,
Mx3_
Do I understand correctly? Do you wont root your phone ?
1 st. With method which presented, you can only root your device if you have Android 5 or lower, if you have android 6 Marshalow - you must use " Systemless ROOT"
2nd. You must upload new ROM on your device ( i have special tool for do this "srktoolHuawei" - this is a special tool for flashing every new rom on a huawei device )
3.rd." HuaweiUpdateExtractor" - this is a tool for extract new ROM ( roms for huawei, you can find in huawei webside ) - download rom for your device, extract by this tool, copy and paste inside folder of "srktoolHuawei"
Next...
Plug you device to PC by usb, go to recovery mode and if you have unblocked bootloader, should be writen:" Phone is unlocked" - > Open "srktoolHuawei", go to Command Prop and then:
- IMPORTANT !!! - you must upload files: SYSTEM, RECOVERY, CUST, BOOT - you can do this using that commands:
1. fastboot flash system system.img
2.fastboot flash boot boot.img
3.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.fastboot flash cust cust.img
Reboot and system should starts correctly...
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------
If you wont to root your device with SYSTEMLESSROOT method, you should do like that:
1. If you upload recovery by "srktoolHuawei" - > download TWRP recovery and upload into your device ( copy and paste TWRP img. file into this tool folder insted of traditional android recovery file, next change name from TWRP, to just recovery.img and upload using command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img )
2. Now - if you press volume + - and power together, you should have TWRP Recovery insted of Huawei Recovery, thats good...
3. Next...BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3 - upload this version of supersu into your SD card...
4. Next - go to TWRP mod, next to advanced, next to Terminal Command and write command like this:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
Confirm this command and back to install ( this command means that you will install SuperSU and it will make systemless root for you )
When if you have install, then select supersu which you downloaded before and now simply flash it by TWRP, next reboot and you should installed supersu and rooted device...

Please tell me you made a back up in TWRP if you did just use the RESTORE option in TWRP if not you will have to go through the above again to get back to stock but missing out flashing the recovery partition as yours is working.
When your phone boots make a back up in TWRP before trying out anything so its easy to recover

Hello @BaronDeLucifer,
what do you mean with this? Do I need the srktool for rooting my P8 Lite?
With best regards
A while ago I installed TWRP and rooted my WAS-LX1A and everything worked perfectly fine except that I couldn't install updates. Today I tried to install install a more recent rom and, as expected, it failed. So i tried to install it manually, unpacking boot.img, system.img and recovery.img from the update.app file and flashing them using
Code:
fastboot flash *type* *file*.img
I was able to flash boot and recoverybut when I tried to do the same on system it got stuck and I was forced to interrupt the process. Now my device is constantly stuck on
Code:
Your device is booting now...
and I can't access recovery nor fastboot and adb isn't working:
Code:
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
I tried using the dload folder method in a FAT32 formatted sd card and every sort of button combination but i'm still stuck at the same point. Anyone can help me?
luis ota doesnt works due to root a custom recovery, i recommend you access to twrp, next:
1- Make a backup only of oeminfo(coy to safe place), download oeminfo ss or ds depending your device, extract and copy/replace oem to the original oem
2- Downloaded servicerom b182 or b183, extract and copy all file and folder(was-lx1a folders and update.app), to dload folder on your sdcard.
3- Now press restore oem and shutdown when it finished, now do 3btns method.
Alternatevility could uninstall adb and reinstall, check if device manager has traces of device or adb and remove too

Didn't work and now the phone is locked and I've lost my unlock code. TWRP also isn't working, as holding pwr+volumeup starts erecovery while the booting screen changed from "Your device has been unlocked" to "Your device has failed verification". Any tips?
mister if you frp(oem is unlocked(red color)) you can solve with dload method and servicerom b182 or b183, other method is dcphoenix(paid)

It stops at 5% saying "Software install failed!" only giving me the option to reboot
And after changing the oeminfo my phone appears to be locked as i said in my previous reply

oeminfo: backup insdcad(copy to safe place), with the downloaded oeminfo just copy/replace and then restore.
srom: create one folder called dload in sdcard, then extracted the service copy all was folders + update.app(they are inside of dload folder) to the dload sdcard
alternatively you try with dcphoenix and/or dcunlocker(paid both)

Just to be clear, so i understand the situation :
You use the b182 / b183 service rom from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097 ?
If yes and it don't work, then i guess your f**ked. Sorry

You can send him to the service center, they make it free for you with boardswap.
I have had a boardswap twice. Now I know what the problem is and have made a decrypt boot img
Download boot image from this link
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1Z5zkx7AGWGbHF6NXo0OFJTRWc
Now flash this boot image in fastboot mode (fastboot flash boot custom_boot_decryptdata_b130.img)
Now hold volume up and type fastboot reboot press enter.
Keep holding volume up until phone reboot to erecovery
Disconnect from PC, Shutdown phone
Hold volume up and power to enter TWRP
Wipe>format data
Go back Reboot>Recovery
Download Full Data zip http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...WAS-L01A_hw_eu/update_full_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.zip
,and Public Full data zip http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...86/f2/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Copy both zip files to sd card and install one by one in TWRP

Extract boot, system, recovery, from update.zip it using Huawei firmware extractor
Extract cust.img from update_full_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.zip
