[GUIDE Step-byStep]RETURN2STOCK/UNBRICK/UNLOCK/ROOT] e.g. STUCK AFTER UPDATE

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!

Which update.app did you use? Maybe your download is corrupt?
BTW I debranded mine too with Acer's to international.

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

Do you have a dload folder with update.app inside, in sd card?
With that and pressing vol +, vol - and power at same time you enter in flash mode and start to flash the rom

Hi Have got succeeded or not, if not follow the guide.
Is your phone being detected by PC if yes then you have chances of recovering your phone.
1. Download 15 Seconds ADB and Fastboot Drivers. Visit the official XDA forum for download and installation instructions.
2. Install Huawei HiSuite which will install drivers .
3. If HiSuite doesn't install Install drivers then install universal drivers for your device .
Now connect your device to pc and open HiSuite and click on system recovery it will show options for recovery if it is success then you are fine if not then proceed to this method.
Connect your phone to PC.
Open Command Prompt in the directory where you have extracted the ADB files by holding Shift and Right Mouse Button and finally click Open Command Prompt window here in the context menu.
Completely power off your device.
While holding Volume Down button, connect your device to PC via USB cable to boot to Fastboot Mode.
1. Type the following command in ADB :
Code:
adb devices
If your device is being detected and it shows list of devices attached and its serial number.
2.Now download the firmware of the phone before your phone got bootlooped extract the update using the file here
3.Now copy the following files ( boot.img, recovery.img and system.img ,cust.img ) from the extracted files to the ADB files directory.
4.Now Execute these commands one at a time using the command prompt.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
5.Now Perform a Factory Reset if your phone got recovered.
If not then download the stock recovery of your Device and try steps 2,3,4.
Even if it doesn't get succeeded then try this option .
If your device got bootlooped while on Lollipop or Marshmallow then you have one more way to recover .
6.Now download the latest TWRP from here and boot into TWRP recovery if you cant enter TWRP recovery for this version then try the previous TWRP versions like 2.8.7 ,
7.Use the following command to flash the TWRP recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
8.Then download any of the custom ROMs or ask any of the XDA members for TWRP backup for your device and flash them through Recovery.
Then Reboot your Device.
You would most probably recover your device from any of the above methods . I too had the same problem and My device was use less for almost 6 months but after several trial and error methods my device got recovered.

Did you try flashing different variant ROM ie different builds?
Actually I too got the same problem bootlooped on LP but cant flash the LP ROM back so I flashed different Region ROM.
Give a try to TWRP Method It should give you success.
Imp:
Try the previous ROM where you got Bootloop, or the version earlier to it.If it doesn't succeed try the rom which you got initially on your mobile.
PS: If your phone is being detected by your PC you have good chances of recovering your phone.

Try to install through SDcard create a dload folder on sdcard and to that dload folder copy ONLY the update.app file, and just like I wrote hold down the + & - & power button and it should say "installing update", make shure you have huawei recovery instead of twrp cause on twrp it wont install youre stock rom. I really dont know what could be the problem: check also if you deleted everything through twrp and install huawei recovery that is a MUST!!!

Where can I find the huawei recovery? I cannot find it!!!

And then you know what to do with it Hope i helped, let me know if it worked...

1.)Dont use multitool 8, youre doing everything fine youre using the wrong complicated tools
2.)try to download sdk platform-tools from here (https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
3.)Place the recovery.img file to platform-tools folder
4.)open command prompt in windows as administrator and in that command prompt change the directory of cmd to youre platform-tools folder example
"cd C:/youre/path/to/the/platform-tools" then type:
--->>>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img<<<---
it will say dameon tools not running blah blah blah ignore that, you need to make shure that youre end result is succes OK!
and then type:
--->>>fastboot reboot<<<---
and thats it try "dloading" that update.app file through SDcard holding +&- button

Final steps.
I did the
->>>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img<<<--- without problems etc and I received the success message.
and then I typed: --->>>fastboot reboot<<<. The phone booted normaly.
Then I put the update.app file into the SDcard and while it was connected to pc I pressed power and volume +&- button.
The huawei software installation began and freezee at 90%.
What do I have to do?

did you create a dload folder on sd card and placed the update.app in it? is it charged atleast when the green dot appears?
P.S you can NOT!!! use hisuite while instaling the update.app becuase its disrupting the installation everything is doing via sd card.
Youre doing everything well :victory::victory::victory:but youre doing weird things:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:, why are you connecting it to PC when you stored your update.app on sdcard?

Finally worked.

did you create a dload folder on sd card and placed the update.app in it? is it charged atleast when the green dot appears?
P.S you can NOT!!! use hisuite while instaling the update.app becuase its disrupting the installation everything is doing via sd card.

- Download with Huawei Firmware Finder right files your phone (common base -> filelist, copy link internet browser (download all). You can put your own model in setting)
(example europe version WAS-LX1C432 , i think 2 sim hw L21 and 1 sim hw L01, before this i was WAS-LX1C432B206 )
http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/GetLatestVersion.action
- Extract files with HuaweiUpdateExtractor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3262545
Need extract for multi-tool 8: BOOT.img, CUST.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img, SYSTEM.img, UPDATE.APP).
(because i not really remeber , try all other files from update.app from *hw*.zip and update.app from update.zip
Please fix is not right, is is possible both are same)
- Multi-Tool 8 -> unbrick
http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwmt/release/Multi-Tool 8.msi
Turn phone off from TWRP (reboot, shutdown)
press vol - and put usb cable in pc (need go download mode, repeat if need, if pc not reconize put phone normat booting with usb and go coffee)
try twice if need with swipe cache.
Maybe it end error message but running right.
- If all seems be fine, relock bootloader
Turn off phone
press vol - and put usb cable in pc (need go download mode, repeat if need)
(Run in bat file or type in command window , your own bootloader opening code from huawei.)
fastboot oem relock "your opening code"
Good luck, i repair no system files with this.
I was first timer, so try understand poor instructions.
HWOTA, Sideload, Dload not working with me.

Or try to update to stock oreo (you can see my EMUI 8 post)

Need help raising it from the graveyard

Hello everyone.
I managed to brick my p9 lite (VNS-L31C432 dual sim) by flashing the rollback package over B161 (I know B160 is for DS, I just missed the correct update.app twice). The current status of my phone right now is:
- Phone won't boot, is stuck at "Phone is booting now"
- VolUP + VolDOWN + Power combination doesn't access to dload. If I have it connected via usb to my computer it kinda enter to dload but an usb plug symbol appears and does nothing
- Can unblock/rebock bootloader
- Can access to TWRP 3.0.2-0
- Can access to Fastboot and flash partitions, however when I do it TWRP lose the ability to mount them and they appear as 0MB partitions (I have to change fs to EXT2 then to EXT4 to make them work again).
So, from where should I start to try to recover my phone?

Hello,
unlock again the bootloader then use correct rollback package (or flash L31C432OEMinfo_bin dual sim file with TWRP) and DLOAD correct firmware this time...
If you are unsure just ask...
Cheers

Thanks, pal, but I already fixed it, doing a lot of trial-errors
If someone who had the same problems I had is reading this, what you really need to do is:
As Dadditz said, flash first your correct oem info, then unlock the bootloader
If you can't access dload, find the full-ota package for the exact same version of MM you previously had (before the brick, of course). Unzip the UPDATE.APP and then use UpdateExtractor to get BOOT, SYSTEM, RECOVERY, RECOVERY2 and CUST. Flash all of them via Fastboot.
If you try to boot and it gets into eRecovery, then it's a good sign. Put the UPDATE.APP from the previous step in the dload folder of your SD, use the dload method and let the install run. It will probably fail at the end, this seems to be normal.
You phone will boot and it will probably feel like it's working ok again, but I bet there are chances that a some stuff doesn't work or even appear at all (first time the fingerprint config didn't appeared to me, second time was the google account login). Turn off the phone, install the correct version of TWRP, wipe cache/dalvik, then do a factory reset (dunno if both are needed, I just did it this way and it worked ok).
Reboot you phone. Now it should really be working ok again.
If you little P9-Lite refuses to update to a newer version, use Firmware Finder to upgrade whatever version FullOTA-MF-PV you want to (in my case, I did to B370).
Enjoy
I'm still wondering why installing the wrong rollback package messes up with the recovery2 partition...
