I know this might sound as a stupid question, and I'll probably get a stupid answer, but I wanned to ask a question, to which I haven't found an answer elsewhere.
okay, so I have a huawei p8 lite (ALE-L21) phone which is "softbricked" when I flashed a .zip file using TWRP recovery menu, it somehow deleted the content of my /system folder and the phone just won't boot (there's no huawei logo animation)... so... I checked the huawei home page for the stock firmware and it shows me only one available.."ALE-L21V100C432B170". but my phones build number was "ALE-L21C30B121" (if I remember correctly) will I be able to flash that firmware via fastboot? (I have my phone rooted, and bootloader is unlocked) won't there be any "regional" restrictions or something else? please help me :'(
hope I'll get a reply, early thanks

With unlocked bootloader you can flash any firmware but I don't have any idea whether or not root access will create problem.
Just do step 1 from this tutorial:

root did not cause any problems...
I tried to flash system.img cia fastboot command.. failed
then I flashed it via "mfastboot"....worked lol
it was B052 with the balong bug....fixed bug.... updated to B170.
now it works like a charm! :3

Glad to know that.
Thanks for the hint with mfastboot!!!
I stuck trying root B524. TWRP wipe everything incl. system -> stupid /system gone. not able to reflash via fastboot. (boot, recovery, cust worked) but mfastboot did "recreate"(?) and flashed system.
... but not all was allright again. No Sim available, baseband and IMEI gone after direct flashes.
starting from B52, Fix for balong and B170 brought Sim back. now B188.
One problam stays: my internal mem is 2,40GB. Free rather nothing.
How can I get the lost memory back?

i was have this problem before
and solved when i maked a OTA update ^_^ just check, download, and install ^_^
OTA updates did not help.
internal mem 2,40GB, 200MB free
the app DiskInfo tells me:
Data (userdata)
mmcblk0p40
Used: 10,6GB
Free: 224MB
Total space: 10,8GB
Mount Point: /data
File system: ext4
Access type: Read/Write
Block size: 4KB
Partition name: mmcblk0p40
Partition nickname: Data
Partition label: userdata
Partition number: 8
Partition type: BLKEXT
Device: Internal Storage (mmcblk0)
Device type: MMC
Internal from above and the userdata patition are the "same", right?
How can I format this Partition to get it empty and useable again?
edit: twrp, wipe, advanced wipe, data, repair or change file system, resize fixed it
Any help for my Nova plus ( MLA-L03) bricked,
Im with a bricked unit (nova plus MLA-L03) . i cant find on all web page firmware Any help for restore my phone pls .
I will detail here what happened to my own bricked Nova plus (MLA-L03) and how I got it working again, with the help of a lot of comments from this forum. First you should know that when asking such questions it is advisable to detail your problem and what led to it, so that others are willing to help without having to ask for additional details.
I got soft-bricked after installing twrp and formatting the /data partition (wrongly thinking it was only userdata and that nothing could go wrong) so I could then backup the partition for future use. Basically what unbricked was flashing these 3 partitions from a full firmware release: /recovery, /boot and /system and I believe this is the only thing required, so you may try that first. I am not an expert and I would also like to know if the other steps may have contributed to the unbricking.
-Through TWRP I restored the stock recovery and the /data files from Bluesmoothie's backup (look in the TWRP folder, also you might have to create a backup yourself to generate the correct file structure), but that didn't unbrick
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70197735&postcount=99
-Then I found files for my device (MLA-L03) from the Huawei Firmware finder available here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
-You can also find the firmware from this site but it is a hassle to search through everything:
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php
-I downloaded the firmware called MLA-L03C6540B300CUSTC654D001 (the update.app file inside the .zip is actually 3.8GB and my understanding is it is a full OS, not merely an update)
IMPORTANT: using this firmware will install android 7 nougat and you may not be able to go back to android 6. Also as of this date you will not be able to use TWRP to backup you data partition and others, and I think that you cannot modify the system partition also (not sure, I would love to be wrong)
-(Not sure if it is worth mentioning but I tried to unzip the update.zip and put it in my sd card in a folder called /dload and boot by pressing all 3 buttons (boot to stock recovery) but the update got stuck, wouldn't go over 36%... I had also previously tried this with other zip packages for my device but none of them got over 12% or 30%)
-Then I used the Huawei Update Extractor (link right below to extract recovery.img, boot.img , and system.img from the update.app file extracted from update.zip.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
-Finally I flashed these 3 files with fastboot :
fastboot flash recovery "[filepath to recovery.img]" ( example: fastboot flash recovery "C:/my documents/recovery.img" )
fastboot flash boot "[filepath to boot.img]"
fastboot flash system "[filepath to system.img]"
-After I also did a factory reset, but I don't remember if I let the system boot completely before (I don't know either if it makes a difference... I hope someone here can answer)
Good luck!
Hi friends. I have the device MLA-AL10. i Want to change the region. Could you share your oeminfo file?

don't even try to change oeminfo, it will brick your phone network security
changing region on qualcomm devices is not easy, its complicated thing and involved paid tools
its better to see a professional to do this :good:
Hello,
I tried to flash the RessurectionRemix ROM and it was working well except the LTE so I decided to get back to EMUI.
Problem, i took the backup of bluesmoothie and flashed it but the phone never finish to boot.... (I didn't wipe anything, i thought that the restore function of TWRP was doing everything, am I wrong ?)
Moreover, the TWRP recovery can't access the content of my ext sdcard where the RR ROM is located and even if i put this rom to internal storage, i got the ERROR 7 (this is for deive: can; you have generic_a53)
Do you know what can I do to :
- Come back to EMUI
- Unroot the phone
- Re-lock the bootloader
The files of the TWRP backup are located on the sdcard, if i wipe data/system/cache, will it delete these files ?
Infos :
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP of Garak (but still have ERROR 7 now)
Thank you very much
First you need to flash the stock recovery in fastboot. After that you need to put the update.app in a folder called dload in your internal storage.

Okay but where can I find the stock recovery ?
Then, do i have to flash it via ADB like i did with TWRP ?
After that, where can I find the "update.app" that you are talking about ?
If i'm right, you're telling me that i can't go back to EMUI without flashing the stock recovery ?
That is correct. First use firmware finder to get the update.app. There is a firmware extractor tool for Huawei firmware. Use it to extract the recovery.img and flash with fastboot.

First of all, thank you very much for your anwser, it's very kind of you.
If i understood everything, that's what i have to do :
- Download one of the Huawei firmwares with Huawei Finder (Better get the B100 or another one ?)
- Extract the recovery.img with the update.app from Huawei Finder
- Flash the stock recovery with ADB
Then :
- I put the update.app that i get through the Huawei Finder in the dload folder of the internal storage (If i flash the stock recovery, will I be able to put files in the storage ?)
- I reboot the phone in recovery and normally, it should install the EMUI rom
At the end, my phone will no longer have a custom recvery, bootloader unlocked and root status ?

Yes, that's correct. But you have to put update.app in dload folder on your SD card as far as I know. That's how I did it.
I couldn't find B100 on Firmware Finder and I've got relocked bootloader on Nougat.
Yes, you will need to copy the update.app to internal storage in TWRP, then flash the stock recovery. After flashing you need to hold all three buttons when booting (just like getting into TWRP. After update you will have no custom recovery, no root, and it should lock bootloader.

When i boot into recovery it's displaying "eRecovery" and ask me to download the new update of recovery but it fails when getting the package. I can only reboot and turn off :/

You shouldn't have that message anymore.
Are you sure that the update.app got installed? @wangdaning told you to put it on dload folder in internal memory. I don't know if that is right or if it works, but I've put it in dload folder on sdcard when I've installed update.app.

You can read in this post the steps I've used to relock the bootloader and get update (official I guess) through Settings > System update. Just "click to show content".

The problem is that the phone doesnt finish to but anymore... i can't do things in menu.
When you talk about SD card, it's the external sd card ? Because i don't have access to it anymore, but i have the partition SD Card
When you installed the B340 update, you seen the percent growing up and had a "success" message ? Because, for me, the update is stuck at 5% and then it reboot the phone

Yes, I mean external sdcard.
Reinstall TWRP and restore bluesmoothie's backup and then flash the stock recovery again.
I didn't have any issues with installing the B340 firmware. It was installed successfully.
Try to follow the steps I've used. You shouldn't have any problem.

Okay i'm going to try it right away
My external sd card doesnt show up anymore when i connect it to my PC, i don't know why
I mentioned internal SD card because you said your external was not recognized, but you might try putting the dload folder on external. I have done it both ways. Sometimes the update through stock recovery is finicky. If it doesn't finish run it again. Also, make sure your USB is disconnected, as may Huawei users have mentioned this causes it to freeze. If it still fails, try dloading a different update from firmware finder.
Did it work?
I didn't have so much time these days but I did it and it worked for the 1st part (flash bouesmoothie's backup). Tomorrow I'll do the final step! Thank you again
Here I am :
1 : flashed stock recovery from B350 and i don't have the "unlocked" message anymore !
2 : The update B350 made it, "update success"
3 : It doesn't boot for now
4 : The boot doesn't end
-----
1 : flashed TWRP recovery, launched a factory reset in the same time
2 : Phone booting again on B100
-----
1 : flashed stock recovery from b350
2 : flashed b350 update
3 : Everything is fine !

Hello All,
Is there an existing working TWRP for Nova 3i? I tried searching, I found one image that claims to be for Nova 3i from the site stupdroid . com.
I was able to flash it, but once I'm inside TWRP, the phone just restarts in maybe 5-10 seconds and just doesn't allow me to do anything.
So now I have an unlocked bootloader with no way to root
I hope someone can help.
P.S. I've asked Supersonic27543 but unfortunately, he/she doesn't have the copy anymore.

Sorry for the delay. Here's how, (Remember to unlock the bootloader before this!)
First, download the update.zip for this device (you can find it in Huawei Firmware Finder, remember to download the Full OTA)
Extract the update.zip, you'll see a file named update.app. Download "Huawei Update Extractor", and open the update.app with it.
Now you'll see a list of partitions. Extract the "ramdisk" partition (an . IMG file), and copy it to the Internal Storage of your device.
Download and Install Magisk Manager on your device. Open it, and press Install>Install>Patch Boot Image. Select the ramdisk image you copied to your Internal Storage. Magisk will save a patched image to /sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img.
Now install that image in Fastboot, by "fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img".
Now your device should be rooted with Magisk. If for some reason your device doesn't boot, you can flash the stock ramdisk (before patching) by using the same command as above. (replace patched_boot. img with the image name) That'll cause loss of root.
Good luck!

I automatically wrote 'recovery2', but in this case it doesn't matter, the new FW will overwrite TWRP.
I apologize for the unnecessary complication .
(Why recovery2 ? eRecovery is basically useless on this phone. It's useful flash TWRP over it by having stock recovery as 'recovery' and TWRP as 'eRecovery' (recovery2).
Among other things, you can have access to official OTA updates yet still being able to do everything you could do with TWRP etc. etc.
It makes things easier
How to boot it:
reboot your phone, as soon as the "yellow warning" appears on the screen, hold down the Volume Up for 3 seconds, phone will boot in TWRP.)
