Thanks a bunch. I cant get anything to work to unlock the bootloader. I'm trying to get TWRP flashed so I can check out CM12

still getting the error "FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist) This is irritating. I cant figure out why im getting that error

help fingerprint sensor

So I installed the revolution mod ( nougat ) and my fingerprint sensor was not working so I installed the stock firmware and because there were no fingerprints saved on stock , I factory reseted the phone , then I installed the revolution rom again and it was working for few days but now it stopped working again ( sometimes it does not recognize it and sometimes it doesnt even vibrate Like i would not even have my finger on it )

To me that sounds like an hardware issue and therefore needs to be sent in for repair.

I don't think it's an hardware issue.. the ROM has some problem with some people, I suggest you to try stock ROM for a few days to verify if the problem is related to your device or the ROM.

To me it sounded he installed stock and it did not work there either.
Ofc if it works in stock it should be related to the custom ROM.

He restored stock only to see if there where some fingerprint registered and then he installed revolution ROM again if I am not wrong

Did you flash OEMinfo first?
Or did you use the new rollback methods?

Well if you are on a Nougat build, you cannot just flash a MM update.app
You either need to flash an OEMinfo file first (old method) or use the official Huawei rollback method (new method).
If you did none of that, that might be the reason why your phone does not boot.

Well that is a problem.
You need to get that code it is your only option.
This can be done with the DC Unlocker but it will cost you a few bucks and you need to find a guide in here or somewhere else. Or you just figure it out yourself. I have never used it.
You can also try to get the code again by using the Huawei site but you need your IMEI and some other stuff. I guess some of it can be found on the packaging that your device came with...

I mean you might try to find a way to get the needed information with adb but I do not know how. Maybe a Google search can provide more info.
There are also several threads in here where people tried to recover the bootloader code from a bricked device.
Just make sure to SAVE it somewhere safe once you retrieve it

Yeah that is the big problem...
Normally you get it over the phone dialer but since you are in bootloop...
I don't know...
There are programs out there that generate the product ID but I have no clue if they work for this device.

Use the huawei site where you get the unlock code and you will find that the id is found by typing a code on the phone dialer.... there you will find what to type on the phone.

I can't access the phone

P8 Lite Boot loop

I've been trying almost everything for days. When I turn on the phone the bootloader enters in a loop.
I can't access to recovery (vol up + power), not even in update mode(vol up & vol down + power).
The only thing I can access is the fastboot but my phone is locked and I don't the have the imei to unlock via calculator or the oficial huawei page.
If someone have any suggestions.

If getting your IMEI is your only concern then you can get that from the box... But you'll need Product ID too, and for that you'll need to have your phone booted up...

There is a program for that. Huawei product id generator. You can find this program very easy.

I downloaded the official ROM from huawei and is the recent version but when I tried to install it with "fastboot update file.zip" is asking for an android-text.txt and I been searching to re-create that file manually and then is asking for another file and so on.
I've been searching if I can install the oficcial ROM by fastboot even if is not unlocked and find this guide but it is not usefull for me 'cause I can't access into the download mode or use adb.
This is the information I could extract from my phone.
Firmware : ALE-L21C109B130
I couldn't fint this version of firmware.
If you could light my way if you have another method.

Ok i searched for ways to find an IMEI number and found couple of ways...
1) Look under/in the sim tray. It may be there (I didn't check this out)
2) Find the IMEI/MEID using Google Dashboard. This is Google's control center that can be accessed from any computer with a web browser. You will need to log in with the Google account associated with your Android phone.You can access Google Dashboard by visiting www.google.com/settings/dashboard Expand the "Android" section by clicking the "Android" heading.Locate your phone in the list. If you have multiple devices associated with your account, all of the devices will be displayed. Find the device that you are trying to retrieve the IMEI/MEID number for. (This works)
3) At last, you can try to remove the back case and remove the battery. This can help you in 2 ways. Firstly, there should be IMEI code present under the battery. Secondly, this may cause you to get out of bootloop

No known way to do that here that I've seen - would probably require tools that only Huawei repair depots have.

"Device is corrupt" HELP!

I was just trying to install the 9.0.6 update manually following the instructions in the thread for it here on xda and it wouldn't work. I uninstalled magisk and restored images through magisk manager as the directions stated to do. I couldn't get the update to show in the local upgrade section under system update so decided to reboot to see if that would fix it but now my phone will not boot. It goes to a screen that says my device is corrupt and won't go past that. It says to hit the power button to continue but that just makes it boot back to that screen and if I just wait the phone shuts off.
Any help is appreciated.
(UPDATE) Thanks for the help guys. I got the phone booting again by flashing the 9.0.6 ROM in fastboot. I'm still getting the "device is corrupt" message and have to hit the power button twice to get it to boot so if anyone knows a fix for this I would appreciate it. At least I can use the phone now.

Thanks. I got that part and was able to get my phone booting again but I still get the corrupt device message when I start the phone. Wish I knew how to get rid of it. IS there any return to full stock methods that also locked the bootloader and restore all partitions to stock? That is the only thing I can think of that might work.

Someone say that wiping all with stock recovery solved, but device work fine also whit that message, otherwise you can try MSM Download Tool, it will restore all stock to 9.0.5 with locked bootloader.

Use the MSMDownloadTool for the international version, it's the only way to bypass the verity trigger, it will restore the device to full stock as if you never unlocked the bootloader to begin with.

Thanks guys. I will try this out in the future. For now I'm just going to ride with what I got since I don't feel like setting my phone up again. I don't reboot much so it shouldn't bother me too bad. I guess it's good I learned something new.
