Softbricked phone, no idea how to proceed

EDIT:
It seems since there is no Huawei P8-Subforum, my thread seems to has been postet to misc. Development. Im sorry about that!
Hello there,
I spend the last three hours trying to get the device (L09) to work again. I made the terrible mistake to update my phone with custom recovery (TWRP) installed. My target is to upgrade from B191 to Marshmallow.
The main probleme here is that I don't own a micro-SD card plus the internal storage contains a dload-folder which I can't delete.
My current situation:
- The phone is bootlooping at bootanimation
- I can access the fastboot-mode, stock-recovery and upadte-mode
- My internal storage (intenal SD-Card) contains a folder named "dload" with the B200 firmware
- I flashed the stock B200 recovery.img and boot.img (extracted with Huawei Extractor)
- When going to update mode the phone proceeds to 5% and then shows "Software install failed!"
I don't really know how to proceed from here on. I tried to flash TWRP again to clear the dload-folder and place another firmware, but somehow twrp can't be installed anymore - flashing shows "OKAY" but when booting into recovery, the same old Huawei recovery is booting. Also I'm confused as to when to leave the USB plugged in or disconnect it.
My current plan is to revert to 170 firmware to start completely over. I downloaded the 170, 200 and 313 firmware.
How to proceed?
EDIT:
I flashed recovery.img, boot.img and system.img from B170 and now the boot repeats at the Huawei logo. After flashing boot.img and recovery from B200 I get to the bootlogo again, which is stuck.
Solution:
After flashing boot.img from B191 the B170 firmware booted successfully. I got a few random reboots at the start, but they quickly grew less and now I have a somewhat stable B170.
Upgrading to B191 or B200 didn't work, tho. I'm trying to get behind that now.

P8 Lite (ALE-L21) bricked

Hi,
I have an unlocked and rooted P8 Lite (ALE-L21) with TWRP 2.8.7.0 (I think that's the version) and I had a google play problem so after trying all solutions that I found it didn't work so i used the advanced wipe function that offers TWRP but accidently i wiped system part so I don't have any OS in my phone and now I have a bootloop. I downloaded a firmware "ALE-L21 V100R001C432B052 Europe channel dual sim" but I didn't know how to flash it because i'm new at huawei phones i was an expert in samsung devices however i don't know how to flash the UPDATE.APP file that I found in the dload folder with TWRP can you help me ? (I can't boot into the bootloader mode i can only boot recovery mode (TWRP) )
Thanks for reading that post ^^

Hello,
You can unbrick your device using this method Unbrick Huawei P8 Lite Ale-L21
Simply boot into bootloader(Plug phone into PC and hold volume down+power button, when phone vibrating release the buttons) when is in bootloader run bat(FLASH-ALL.bat) file in archive
This will install Firmware version C432B052 after that you can update via OTA
Regards

Thanks for replying to this post, I searched a little bit more and I found a software called "HuaweiUpdateExtractor" I extracted 4 files from my UPDATE.APP with that software : system, cust, recovery, boot and then flashed them with fastboot but I can't acces to my bootloader with the 2 volume buttons + power it give me an error so i used TWRP I went to Reboot then Bootloader ^^

VNS-L21 bricked after updating oeminfo and dload flash

So where do I start ... I have a VNS-L31 that was running on C185B130, I flashed meticulus's CM13 after making a full dump and a TWRP backup but since it couldn't handle dual sim properly I decided to roll back to stock, the first issue was that data couldn't be mounted (some encryption problem ... I can't quite remember) but somehow the phone booted successfully to stock, I tried to relock the bootloader so I can flash a clean stock using dload but I got 'FAILED (remote: root type is risk)' ... tried to flash with dload anyway but it didn't work because it was a c432 update.app file, then I flashed C432OemInfo-DUALSIM-P9LITE (using recovery terminal "dd" since I had no root ... maybe I shouldn't have ??) anyway the dload worked fine but after reboot => black screen ! I flashed C432B160 and B161 but still the same, no fastboot only stock recovery and nothing, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache work fine but nothing is changing ! Your help would be much appreciated ! Thanks in advance
edit : I managed to re-unlock the bootloader, flashed twrp but still getting the same error while mounting data : 'failed to mount '/data' (mounted without encryption...)

Stuck in bootloop L31

Hello everyone
Im currently stuck at the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." after trying to go back to mm from lineage OS 14.1
I cant seem to go to recovery even after flashing meticulus or revolutions recovery via fastboot, I've even extracted the images from the L31C432B160 and flashing them via fastboot, it installed fine but still stuck on bootloop, flashing oeminfo via dload and rom via update.app gets stuck at 5%, any help?
I can now boot into TWRP recovery but flashing oeminfo and trying to dload c432b160 doesnt work

Have you already tried with the "new" method? Here you go the tutorial:

Holding the 3 buttons to install the "rollback dload" either sends me to a bootloop or TWRP recovery.

Mhn, when you flash oeminfo from TWRP is it successful or did it gave you some error?

after flashing oeminfo by BadWolf the last 4 lines are:

updating partition details...
Failed to mount "/cust" (invalid argument)
...done

Try to use Meticulus' TWRP, it should work as you were on Lineage before the bootloop

I am on Meticulus TWRP "TWRP-3.0.2-0-hi6250-v3", altho i've flashed b160 individual images (boot cust system) by fastboot).
The flash itself of the images gave no error messages so it should of booted but no

After the "Failed" oeminfo flash my bootloader locks, does this mean the oeminfo flash worked?

Does it fail when you flash the oeminfo zip through TWRP?

It only said failed to mount cust, but I got it to work by flashing the nougat rom and additional file from the ultimate guide of nougat thread, thank you for your help

have you tried booting to recovery without being connected to usb? it seems mine will only boot to twrp if i disconnect the phone from the usb cable

Hardest Bricked my P10 Plus. Can't even turn my phone off.

However, if you are watching this, it means ur phone is bricked with huawei p10 lite/p10/p10 plus
Read the replies and follow the instruction noted by @Blackball and his links.
Then you will find you self a way to restore the phone.
Thanks again to @Blackball and rest of you guys, much appreciated for your help.

What on earth is Yoroot?

So, You can't enter fastboot mode am i right ?
Do you connect usb cable to your devices before press Vol- and Power button ?

Current Situation
After the battery was dead, i actually can enter the fastboot and i used TWRP 3.1.1 for huawei P10 Plus from github. double wiped my device and by far i have entered the system normally.
However, the ROM wasn't official and i lost my warranty for unlock my huawei phone. And the custom service from Huawei said that they don't provide any official ROM Since it's Android 7.0 .
This ROM is really crappy that i can't delete/uninstall any Application i installed.(It gets reboot everytime i try to and the Application is still there even i just tried to Delete/Uninstall).
Worst of all, some options does not work properly in "Option" menu . (For example i can't access to "Developer mode" that everytime i press it it tabbed back to the former menu.)
I really hate this crappy menu so i tried to search on the internet for P10 Plus ROM so far i get B133 update ROM i can find and i tried to install it from SDcard by pressing VOL - and VOL + and Power buttom.
It says failed to update system at 5% while updating/recoverying the system.
and the ROM which i'm using was found in HUAWEI's official fan forum from Club.Huawei.com a forum belongs in china.(Rooted rom B140).
Right now seems the only option for me is to find a better ROM than this .(At least won't get me so many bugs like this one .:crying: )
and Thanks for your comment "Bigbearxl" it worked as normally it should after the battery was dead then i recharged it.
Yet Right now the PC doesn't recognize the device though Via-Usb because it's not Huawei official ROM and Hisuite helper only recognize their own ROM and the rest Phone helper or ADB can't recognize the device while The Phone is Booting normal .
And Reply to "Craphead" Yoroot is a special Root tool for Huawei P10/P10 plus made by chinese from Huawei Fan Club forum.

New Update
After rewrited boot.img though fastboot mode from https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/root-huawei-p10-p10-t3589946 thanks to "yury_z, " i can start to delete files with current system, but it's still crappy that it doesn't even have camera
So i think i will try dload method to recovery my phone with firware that i found in forum.

Failed
Looks like i have to stock with that bit longer
dload with update.app method failed. and recovery TWRP install missing md5.
Unless i get System.img or i guess i can't get another system.:crying:

This work for P10plus too

Maybe you could also try installing stock firmware with funkyhuawei, it's not for free though. But dload method never works on P10/plus unfortunately.

thanks @Blackball and @Craphead. i checked both of your method but didn't work and this new twrp 3.1.0 i downloaded displayed sd card 0mb. and i followed poster's step and missing one file.
However i might found a useful Thead that might work and i'm gonna try tonight.

That is what I wrote.
It seems that firmware finder work for P10/plus now.

@Blackball not sure you what you mean by that, do you mean that you can actually use it to install firmware on p10/p10 plus now? If so how did they manage to get around the authentication issue?

I debranded my phone from L09 to L29 DualSim with this guide. It work with moded stock recoverys.

well i tried your method but there were some file that can't be downloaded from that post so i used another and,eventhough with complete files, the method i posted and i was going to use it tonight. Failed.
did all the steps from update.bat indicated and all worked fine till the last step that it says " automaticly install system" and the phone shows error at recovery.(similar to dload method because it automaticly create dload and exact those ROM files)
it indicates a big red " ! " sign and stopped. basicly i'm back to "No System Status"
The only method wowrks for my "P10 Plus" is " flash system system.img " method.
yet i don't know how to exact system.img boot.img recovery.img etc from those stock firmware like those chinese.
i have some of their rewrote roms (it's crappy because i has no default camera and it's for chinese P10 Plus A.K.A VKY_L29) .
Yet i can't find any System.img on google by far.

I haven't tried your Firmware Finder method , i think i can install crappy system.img then try your Firmware Finder method.
Because right now i wiped my system and i'm without system :crying:

Guys This Thead https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315547
tells you how extract flashable rom files from firmware update.app.
It should work but i only made to Unknownfile XX .img and i can't download his script "HuaweiFinder" from his google drive.

Holy Crap it worked, i Extracted system.img and other img from update.app by some Chinese scripted unpack script. and I'm trying to restore my device though fastboot mode with adb.

well just tried your method and at last step it says installing failed. then i reboot entered rec mode choose wipe/factory reset
wiped till 50% and stopped, it can't factory reset.
Before this method fastboot mode was " Phone unlock " " Bootloader unlock."
Now it's just "Phone unlock"

now i'm stuck at boot loop "your device is booting now" then it rebooted and back to "your device is booting now" again then automaticly goes to Erecovery mode. I have to shutdown device for now and hope i can find some solution tomorrow :S

When you try this :

It's important that you have the 3 zip files from your wanted firmware and rename them correctly. Don't mix with another firmwares.

i did this method yesterday and, well, i can't get update_full_VKY-L09_hw_eu.zip from the link : http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1475/g104/v85029/f1/full/filelist.xml . only Update.zip and Update_full_data.zip . the other one "update_full_VKY-L09_hw_eu.zip" i had to get it from another webside (it's also b133)
it shows a big "!" sign at the last step . i did everything it tells and tried both sdcard&script way to flash twice both rebrand&same brand update.
after the failure i can't enter "Vol +" and "Vol -" and "Power button" to do dload method . When i try to do that it just goes in Recovery mode.
In recovery mode i tried to wipe data/factory reset. It stopps at 50% which is after wipe and starting to factory reset at 50% it failed.
i try to flash in system.img and boot.img yet i still can not enter the system and stuck at bootloop.
