How to unbrick or get back stock on your Huawei Mate 8. There are many reasons why you would want to do that.
In my case my device (AL10) was stuck at "your device cannot be trusted" after updating from B180 to B321.
First I got to thank acer73 for his software. ajsmsg78 and Kris Chen for their links to the right ROMs.
Also thanks to DarkSilentSC for his help, especially with the L29, great support.
He has a L29, which I don't have, so I'm glad he provides help with that device.
This worked for me on my AL10 to get it back on track, should work on other models too. Just have to find the right ROMSs as according to your model. However, I am not responsible if this does not work for you or if it bricks your phone even more.
And remember: don't forget turning on usb debugging whenever you can!
Unbrick (return to Stock)
1. Find yourself a stock ROM.zip according to your model and extract from the zip the update.app (I used one from a B172 (AL10) Stock ROM, I was running a B180 custom ROM, it worked.)
2. Download the Huawei Update Extractor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
3. Extract boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and cust.img with the HuaweiUpateExtractor from the Update.App you find in the ROM to somewhere where you can find them easily
4. Head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rayglobe-italian-knife-t3295526 (You can also do it with fastboot commands, but Acer73's tool makes it easier)
5. get yourself the Italian Knife (btw you probably have to turn off your anti-virus program), extract it in a directory on your PC and start Rayglobe_knife.exe
6. Put the images you have extracted into the folder Unbrick (same directory where you extracted Rayglobe Knife in). The folder was created after you started Rayglobe_Knife.exe
7. Boot your phone into bootloader.
8. In the Rayglobe Knife tool choose Unbrick and choose the option where it says you have placed all the images in the unbrick folder.
9. let the magic work. The phone will restart and it will probably take 15 minutes, make sure its charged enough.
After all that I quickly updated to the latest Stock ROM version, in my case B321, which you need to do if you want to flash later a custom B321. See second post if you want to do that as well or continue with unlocking the bootloader.
Now lets get the bootloader unlocked (for some reason mine was still unlocked)
1. Get Minimal ADB https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410
2. Hopefully you still have your unlock code (cause you need it otherwise it won't work)
3. Put your phone in Bootloader Mode (Press & hold power and volume down)
4. Extract Minimal ADB zip and run command.bat
5. Type <fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (where xxxx is your bootloader unlock code)
6. Done
Now lets get twrp set up
1. For that we need minimal ADB again
2. Headover to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-mate-8-t3298567
3. Download TWRP according to your EMUI (For B321 it's EMUI 4.1)
4. Place the image in the directory of the Minimal ADB
5. Rename it to just twrp.img (not necessary but simplifies things)
6. Put your phone in Bootloader Mode (Press & hold power and volume down)
7. Run command.bat
8. Type <fastboot flash recovery twrp.img>
9. Then type fastboot reboot
10. Now you can hold volume up and power until your phone boots into TWRP
11. You need to format data (you'll lose everything on your phone)
12. Done
Remember: don't forget turning on usb debugging whenever you can!
!!!FOR L29 scroll down to DarkSilentSC's instructions!!!
After unbricking I quickly updated my AL10 to the latest version, in this case B321. Should work with all B3xx
1. Head over to Kris Chen's thread (this I used for the AL10)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-verison-t3324164
Or ajsmsg78's (also AL10 and L09)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66776194&postcount=58 to get the Stock B321
2. Download the ROM and after downloading the zip file, extract update.app from it. Copy the UPDATE.APP to the internal memory of your HM8 in a folder called - dload (you may have to create it). Then press [volume+]+
[volume-]+[power] together to force the update.
3. Voila B321
-----------
!!![For the L29 you should try DarkSilentSC's instructions, which you find below or in post #54 on page 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/unbrick-updating-to-b321-t3375934/page6 don't forget to hit thanks!!!
1. Start from stock B170 firmware with TWRP ready
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY, SYSTEM from B321 UPDATE.APP
3. Add firmware .zip file (which contains META-INF folder and UPDATE.APP) and place it into internal storage
4. Make sure internal storage data is fully backed up
5. Delete All Accounts in Settings
6. Go to Recovery, Wipe Cache, Delvik Cache, Data, System
7. Flash that .zip file! (Getting errors is okay at this time) [This is what I didn't do before!]
8. Boot straight to bootloader
9. fastboot flash boot, cust, and system
10. let it boot. Let it proceed with encryption process in chinese and fully boot into EMUI
11. NOW I'M AT EMUI 4.1!
12. Reboot to fastboot and fastboot flash insecure_boot and flash TWRP
13. Reboot to recovery (TWRP) and then flash whatever rom you want to place in!
14. Enjoying it!

But you first used different ROM images to unbrick and then tried to update to B321.
really sounds as if your file is corrupted. Would try to download it again

ok i will try tommorow......thanks for help by theway the phone booted but if i flash recovery for root no boot.... very strange....sometimes aloud to flash from boot some times no ohhhhhhh(((
Or something no correct with huawei extractor..... Can you provide extracted files?
Thanks in advance.
So I unbricked with B170 and then tried force flashing B321. My first attempt at flashing B321 ended up getting stuck at 5%. Tried flashing again and it said it was incompatible with the current firmware version of my phone. Any ideas on what I should do next?
Edit: Nevermind. I mistakenly copied the UPDATE.APP from B170 to the dload folder instead of the one from B321. lol
Now on B321. Thanks!

Don't know which ROM you used to unbrick.
But seems that you used an B321 if that worked for you and you have no problems then that is great.
Could mean that wet can unbrick straight with the most current ROM available. If someone else could confirm?

sorry, is possible flash with knife if bootloader is locked? my bootloader is locked
hello, my phone is still stuck.. i tried other cust/system/recovery/boot from other update.app, but its still stuck at: your device has been unlocked... im on l29
Have NXT-L29, downloaded stock L09 file from posted link, placed UPDATE.APP into 'dload' folder which I created, but still hanging at 5%. What to do?? Exactly where do I create this 'dload' folder? Just at 'Internal Storage'?

Bootloader has to be unlocked. You can unlock best with DC unlocker, it's fast and only costs around 5 dollars.
Unless you already have your unlock code then you can unlock following instructions see my first post

You should unlock your bootloader and flash ROM via fastboot. That will upgrade your phone to 6.0. Would you like directions on how to do that?

For me, this ROM has reported problems. It could be the reason for the failed flash.
I do not think of being able to access the internal memory (with USB) to replace the ROM.
I thought that I can:
1) to performed hardreset (vol+-power, EMUI menu)
2) To put another rom on an external memory
3) Do unbrick again
What you think?
but I check now, Your rom is perfect.
I don't know what to do anymore

It's not as complicated as you might fear, stick with this and we'll get you back to 4.1
You have to be using EMUI 5's stock recovery for this to work, if you don't have it anymore use the Huawei update extractor to pull it and then install it via fastboot.
Then place the update.app file from the 4.1 firmware you want to roll back to into a folder called dload in your internal storage's root directory.
Turn your device off and hold VOL+, VOL- and power at the same time, it should enter dload mode and automatically start updating. when it is done you should be back to 4.1
You'll need to re-unlock your bootloader and reinstall TWRP for 4.1 but that should be it
any questions?

Ok, so you should already have it, unless you installed some form of TWRP since updating to EMUI 5.
If you don't have the stock recovery anymore:
extract the EMUI5 rom zip that you flashed to update to your desktop
download this tool on to your computer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
run it and hit the "..." button, this will open a new window, find the update.app file that you just extracted and select ok.
This will bring up a list of files one will be called recovery, right click it and click extract.
Then in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
let it run and you should have the stock recovery back again

That's fine, try a different update. Mine worked on B321
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

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)

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
reboot>bootloader
Extract boot, system, recovery, from update.zip it using Huawei firmware extractor
Extract cust.img from update_full_WAS-L01A_hw_eu.zip
Flash these images in fastboot mode.
Then reboot to recovery and factory reset, the phone boots normally
Otherwise extarct update.app from update.zip

I've managed to make it work somehow by bruteforcing the unlock code ahahah Still, thanks everyone <3
I'm not an English native speaker, so I won't write in perfect English, hope it is understandable.
The questions are in the bottom of the post.

So, I recently bought an Huawei P10 Lite. I'm new to the Huawei scene but I modded some Samsung phones some years ago.
When I booted up my Huawei for the first time, I saw the "TIM" (a telephone operator in Italy, I don't know how you call it, but it's similar to T-Mobile, Verizon, Vodafone etc.) bootanimation.
I was afraid that my P10 Lite would be full of bloatwares, but it wasn't.
So, thanks to this, I have 10GB left, 12GB occupied by installed applications and games, and 10GB occupied by the system.
The only problem with the branded version of this smartphone is that I have a custom bootanimation, which is very slow and runs on a very low framerate, and I have to wait extra months when a new patch/version is released.
Also, I can't understand why the system occupies 10GB, it's too much for me.
So, since yesterday, I searched for solutions and found some answers.
The first one is rooting, but I don't like that. I often do some things on rooted devices which lead me to brick them.
Another solution I found is using "Firmware Finder". I opened it and he recognized my phone as a "WAS-LX1AC55B176" (WAS-LX1A / Build 176), which is the actual version installed on my device. So I tried to install the newest version (Build 187 not Full OTA) via Proxy (he failed) and via DNS. Using the DNS method, I waited 10 minutes and got the 300mb downloaded. The only problem is that it asked me to download more and more patches until I reached the Patch 11 with 3,68GB download, then I gave up.
Now I'm considering to try the WAS-LX1AC432B191 (European) version in Full OTA (I'm going to try the 300mb one, too) but I don't know if there are any differences between C55 and C432 (Yes, I know that one is branded and one is not, but I mean differences like Single or Dual SIM etc.).
At the moment, my phone is Single-SIM and it has 4/32GB of RAM/ROM.
-
So here are the problems:
- Do I lose all my data with a OTA update via Firmware Finder DNS?
- Do I brick my device if I do an OTA update via Firmware Finder DNS switching from C55 to C432?
- Does the C432 version work only with Dual-SIM or 3/32GB or 4/64GB devices?
- What C432 build190 do I have to download? There are 3 OTAs (103343, 103344, 103459) and 1 Full OTA (103460).
mister if you want debrand your device from c55 to c432, you need:
all files are in the forum
unlock bootloader(please copy code to safe place, and all data required).
download oeminfo c432 ss or ds and b182(ds) and b183(ss)
twrp
adb drivers(install in c
-----------------------------------------------------
download serviceRom and extract, insert a sdcard on your laptop and create a dload folder. Open the rom downloaded until dload, copy update.app + all was folders.
now with the device, poweroff and conect to laptop:
frp: enable oem unlock(go to about phone), press several times to developer settings, then go to developer settings and scrol until oem unlock and enable(yes or yes).
- fastboot: vol- + power
- cmd(cd c:/adb): fastboot oem unlock your code, press yes and config device
- twrp: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, finished type fastboot reboot(plus vol +) until you go to huawei erecovery, poweroff and unplug, press vol+ and power.
- in twrp: make a backup only oeminfo(copy yes or yes to safe place) on your sdcard, copy/replace the downloaded oeminfo to twrp backed up folder and press restore. poweroff

Thanks for replying, but I don't want to root my device, guess I have to wait until Oreo comes out. When it does, I'll root my device and take the risk to update it (for me, it's very risky, I'm not that good in rooting "new" devices.

yoshi with root user you can do things that with a normal user can't, such as uninstall system apps.
with twrp you can back/restore/wipe/flash etc.... obviously debrand or not, util oreo update but you need wait until huawei and your operator decide relase
twrp=huawei no good option ?????

You don't understand.
I don't want to loose my warranty only because I can't wait, so I'll root my device when the warranty will expire (so, in 2020).
