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...

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!
Great, was looking for details instructions like that, was stuck at cannot be trusted screen

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?

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

Hi all i just bricked my phone : P9-lite VNS-L31
I managed to unlock bootloader, install twrp and get root permission. Phone worked great. Then i tried to flash xposed and the operation fails due to not enough memory space (!! i have 6gb) and get stuck in bootloop. I made all the possible things i knowed. Tried to use xposed-unistaller.zip (getting other errors like: "no such file o direcory") , wipe cache,dalvik and data and i try also to reflash stock recovery, and to relock bootloader (i can't do that.. why? i get FAILED <remote: command not allowed>) because erecovery and HiSuite can't restore my phone. What can i do?? It's a simple bootloop but i cant restore it. Please help me i have just bought the phone and now i'm very desperate.
I really hope some can help,
Thank you
Can you flash the stock rom through SD card?
Copy the stock rom file to this path: sd card\dload\UPDATE.APP,
Then, presss Volume + , Volume -, and the power keys to force upgrade your phone.
Hi, i solved my problem flashing system.img extracted by an official firmware. Everything ok. If someone need it i can write a little guide now to restore bricked p9-lite with custom recovery and unlocked bootloader (the normal procedure does not work)

so thanks for any help
So, i think i can help you to fix your phone.
First of all you need fastboot. So check fastboot drivers on your pc and make sure they work
Now download the stock firmware for VNS-L31 here : http://www.androidvillaz.com/2016/0...vns-l31-to-marshmallow-6.0-b100-firmware.html - It's the only version ready to download and an asian version but flashing only system you'll not notice it. All languages available, no differences at all.
Download and install this tool : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3262545
So using something like 7zip extract the UPDATE.APP file in your desktop for example.
Launch HuaweiUpdateExtractor and select the update.app.
You need to extract SYSTEM.IMG so right click on it and select extract selected.
Now, turn your p9lite in fastboot mode (power off, press vol - and power) and connect it to your pc.
Now launch this : "fastboot flash system "PATH/system.img" " . Remember to replace "PATH/system.img" with the path of your extracted system.img file including the name of the file.
Wait about 3 minutes.
When flash finalize, boot in recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot your smartphone. It should boot now.
If not, perform a full wipe. (cache,dalvik and data).
Hope this can help.

Hi, if you don't know what is fastboot maybe you can approach it the easy way.
Download and install this for the correct drivers : http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html
Download and extract to a folder this : https://mega.nz/#!B4tATA5D!-TseQ9A-TPEQhzNQRXsT_cV2i4T7qYYLadceW0fM8k0
Put your phone in fastboot mode : Turn it off. Connect it to your pc . Long press vol - and power until it boots in fastboot mode (white screen with a green android and other stuff). If you want you can boot in fastboot from TWRP recovery : restart -> bootloader.
Copy your extracted SYSTEM.IMG in the root path of the tool (we can assume its name is system.img).
Now launch the tool and press 000 and enter.
If you have done all right now you can give this : fastboot flash system system.img
Wait about 3 minutes. Perform a cache and dalvik cache wipe. Boot your phone.

Hi,
I am using the standard P9, and getting the Boot Loop also.
I attempted your instructions, and appeared to work - I got the first EMUI initialization screen - and now its gone back to how it was.
Any suggestions?
I think it should work on every phone assuming you are using the right firmware. Do you use the right firmware for the huawei P9 ?? (needless to say it's not the version i posted)).
So if you flashed the right firmware (and i'm pretty sure of this) my advice is to perform a full wipe : Cache, dalvik and data.
If you are still facing the same error consider flashing other frimware parts like boot.img ecc.
I believe so - I am pretty clueless with this stuff.
By firmware, do you mean the stock version? Because I used P9-EVAL09-EVA-B136. Don't suppose you would know the right firmware I require?
I think it's the right version. I am a p9lite user so i don't know specifically the right version of the firmware but i think it's ok. Do you tried a full wipe?

How can I perform a full wipe? Thanks for replying by the way
So, do you have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP) ?

I do yes
So, go in twrp recovery (turn off phone, long press vol up and power for at least 3 seconds). When you are in you will see 'WIPE' press it then do the swipe to Factory Reset. You will lost your installed apps and the relative settings but you will not lost your personal stuff such photo,music documents ecc. Let me know if you perform it and if it works =)
It appears that TWRP no longer appears. I get thr EMUI options to wipe data/factory reset. But once I do this I just get a red exclamation mark.
Does the phone need to be plugged in via USB?
Okay, so :- :crying::crying::crying::crying:
I was on nougat and went to downgrade and followed ALL instruction apart from one - which was something I missed with translate until i visited the htc page for the tenth time trying to fix this.
:silly: :crying: ----- I didnt change default location whilst running nougat -----:silly: :crying:
I flashed the c432 oem file, and I have tried to update to b151, b150 and b161 all through the update.app method. to no avail.
I have tried flashing everything manually through adb pushing AND fastboot after using the extractor and everything works EXCEPT the system.img. I am faced with an error telling me it has failed, 'unable to mount /system' - - - This message comes through regardless of what I do and im panicking

Yes, I noticed that from time to time, in bootloader mode, it is written unlocked, but as the device bootloop (bug) I believe it too. so
I retype systematically the bootloader code to open.

If you have your bootloader unlocked (if you don,t have it, unlock it) and flash TWRP. After that, flash B130 for your VNS-L31. Done.
Unlock yor Bootloader again. And try flashing again.
Have hade the same problem. My bootloader showed unlocked, but he was not.

Shut down your device. Press the switch off for 10 secounds.
When the phone is off, swith on and same time with vol + without usb-kabel, and otherwise try it with usb-kabel.
When you stock recovery starts. You can try a factoryreset.
When you Revolution recovery starts flash oem.info again and perform the dload methode with your right MM UPDATE.APP.

OK. Go to bootloader and flash:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
extract this files with: Huawei Update Extractor from your Original UPDATE.APP
system.img is loading in steps and need much time.

Hi guys, i have the same problem after doing some ****, flashed stock rom from lineageos 14 and a lot of things that i'm trying now to unbrick my phone... i cant enter to the erecovery with the 3 buttons method, wathever i do, and i dont have any idea on how to unbrick my phone... I hope someone could help me
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

Didn't work and now the phone is locked and I've lost my unlock code. TWRP also isn't working, as holding pwr+volumeup starts erecovery while the booting screen changed from "Your device has been unlocked" to "Your device has failed verification". Any tips?
mister if you frp(oem is unlocked(red color)) you can solve with dload method and servicerom b182 or b183, other method is dcphoenix(paid)

It stops at 5% saying "Software install failed!" only giving me the option to reboot
And after changing the oeminfo my phone appears to be locked as i said in my previous reply

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)

Just to be clear, so i understand the situation :
You use the b182 / b183 service rom from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097 ?
If yes and it don't work, then i guess your f**ked. Sorry

You can send him to the service center, they make it free for you with boardswap.
I have had a boardswap twice. Now I know what the problem is and have made a decrypt boot img
Download boot image from this link
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1Z5zkx7AGWGbHF6NXo0OFJTRWc
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
make a dload folder and copy to sdcard.
Then switch off phone, hold all buttons together to start update.

I've managed to make it work somehow by bruteforcing the unlock code ahahah Still, thanks everyone <3
Hi, second post on the forums, I'm in bigger trouble now.
I unlocked my bootloader and then rooted my VNS-L21 so I could edit my hosts file. I tried going back to official and unrooted firmware afterwards, but something went wrong along the way.
The stages:
-OFW VNS-L21C432B504, obtained bootloader code through DC-unlocker (developer options on, OEM unlock on, debug usb on)
-unlocked bootloader with SRKtool using this method get-instant-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code/
-rooted using Magisk and made a full backup through Revolution Recovery using this method https://ministryofsolutions.com/2018/05/huawei-p9-lite-root-for-nougat-new-method.html
- some tinkering here but don't remember exactly plus I guess it's not that relevant ; I think I got rid of root here
- downgraded from Nougat to MM using dload method according to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...torial-rollback-n-to-mm-c432-devices-t3563955 (first flashing rollback package from C432B504 to C900B300, then flashing C432B160 - full)
- everything went fine, bootloader relocked; but I was unable to upgrade to Nougat/B504 - settings-update showed "no updates available", putting update.app in dload folder (obtained from firmware finder, TeamMT, full B504 file) didn't work, pressing three buttons resulted in error (the version not compatible or sth)
-tried dload with previous rollback file
...and now I'm here:
- phone constantly stuck at boot screen (red Huawei logo)
- dload not starting by pressing three buttons
- recovery not starting by pressing volume up
The only thing I can get is white fastboot screen when connected to PC. It says "phone locked" (bootloader) in green, "FRP unlocked" in red. As usb debugging/oem unlock were not enabled this time, platform-tools/adb with command "adb devices" says nothing is connected, similar goes for SRK
Is it hopeless and my phone is thrash or is there anything I can do? Please help!
PS. All I wanted to do with my root was to change hosts file and then unroot/relock phone, seems like it wasn't worth all this work ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/help/retaining-modified-hosts-file-unrooting-t3868641 )
Update: "fastboot devices" in adb directory resulted in detecting my device, next I found and tried command "fastboot oem [PASSWORD]", now there's a change: "This device cannot be trusted" is showing again, in fastboot I see "PHONE Unlocked" in red now. So time to flash some firmware with a command? But which firmware and how exactly to do that?
You have again unlocked your Bootloader? I suggest you flash a Nougat Compatible TWRP and then from within TWRP make wipes. After that use Hurupdater to flash Nougat firmware. First flash TWRP. If it boots into TWRP then format data and then wipe Dalvik/Art Cache, Cache, Data, System and Internal. Next download Hurupdater and stock Nougat Firmware. You need to download three ZIP update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip and regional update file. Next rename them as suggested in Hurupdater thread. Finally place all four files in same folder in SD card and then install and select only Hurupdater.zip to flash. After it complete reboot to stock recovery and factory reset. If all goes well you will be on Nougat.
Thank you so much, HuRU update method was what finally got me from Marshmallow to Nougat
So. I take it your phone is working now? Glad to know and be of help. If you need help with anything then just ask
Yes, it is, I'm currently struggling with systemless hosts on my Magisk rooted Nougat but other than that - everything works fine. Turns out that most of the recoveries I found then were meant for Nougat, only one recovery file worked on Marshmallow (and I've tried quite a few of such files and they were hard to find).
________________
After flashing TWRP recovery, updating Magisk to 17.3 beta and installing newest (4.0.10) version of Adaway - the problem is gone. My guess is that the fault was on Magisk's side as after updating it the "systemless hosts" function in Adaway was no longer grayed out.
