Good day to y'all!
So... I did a thing. I pressed a button in TWRP without knowing what I was doing, and accidentally wiped my whole phone. And I mean, like, the entire thing.
I'm pretty sure I even managed to wipe TWRP after this, as I can no longer find a way to boot into it.
I've tried several things to fix this, namely the following:
-Flashing stock firmware using power+vol up+vol down. (says the update package isn't valid, I have a VNS-L31 and have tried every version of L31 firmware I could find.)
-Downloading a firmware update using eRecovery. (says getting package info failed.)
-Using fastboot to install TWRP.
Now, on this last one is where I'm stuck. My phone isn't being recognized by ADB anymore (it was before).
I've tried reinstalling my fastboot drivers, and my phone's USB drivers with no luck whatsoever.
If I could manage to get ADB to recognize my phone, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to flash TWRP and then a different ROM with that.
As aforementioned, I have a VNS-L31, Europe, Dual SIM w/ 3GB of RAM.
Very much lost on what to do, any help will be much appreciated!

adb only works if the phone is booted to android, if you can boot onto fastboot you should be able to flash twrp and then flash oeminfo for your phone, and then use the dload/update.app to flash the stock rom

That's what I was trying to do. Thing is, I can't connect it to my PC at all. I can boot into fastboot (by holding the vol down button and then connecting it), but my PC doesn't detect anything.

i had a similar issue a while back, mine showed up in device manager with an error, and i uninstalled the driver from there, then completely uninstalled hisuite, and then reinstalled hisuite, after that, it did get recognized and i could use fastboot flash again. (however, i did have to oem unlock eventhough the phone said it was unlocked)

Alright, so. Minor progress has been made.
I uninstalled HiSuite, and my fastboot drivers successfully. I then reinstalled HiSuite, and when I connect my phone in fastboot/rescue mode, HiSuite starts.
I, however, haven't been able to reinstall my fastboot drivers. The device is under the "unspecified" section, is called "Fastboot2.0", and windows reports there aren't any drivers installed.
Any idea where I can find the proper fastboot drivers?

Okay, so.
I installed the latest version of HiSuite, and my drivers have now been installed. (or so it seems.)
The device is still listed as "unspecified", but in the properties tab it says "Name: Android Sooner Single ADB Interface - Type: Android Phone".
However, ADB still does not detect my device, and HiSuite says it isn't connected.

did you use adb devices? or fastboot devices? it is correct that both adb and hisuite don't detect your device as it isn't booted into android

OH!
I got confused there, bahaha. I was using adb devices.
After typing fastboot devices, it now detects my phone.
I'll try flashing TWRP, I have a recovery.img left over on my desktop. Report back once I've done so!

SUCCESS! TWRP has been flashed onto my phone.
Apparently though, the battery's drained >_>
I'll leave it to charge for a few minutes as I throw stock firmware onto my microSD, and then try to install it, as I have a southeast asia VNS-L31 firmware package saved.

if you flash oeminfo for c432, you can use the europe version of the update.app, and put that in dload, it should be around here somewhere on this forum

I've been searching for the Europe update.app, couldn't find it anywhere.
Any idea where I can find southeast asia OEMinfo? I wouldn't mind using it that way. The only disadvantage would be I can only use one SIM, which I do anyway.

I found the C432 OEMinfo, and the Europe-bound UPDATE.APP.
However, I have absolutely no ****ing clue how to flash the OEMinfo onto my phone. Could you guide me through the process?
Well, Never mind.
I managed to install Meticulus' TWRP, and CyanogenMod.
Everything is working as intended again! ^^

if you decide to flash stock, you can flash the oeminfo file with twrp, and then put the update.app in dload on your sdcard.
btw, how is cyanogenmod working for you? i've tried it before, but the batterylife seems to be quite less than i'm used to with emui.
also, when you turn on the screen, does it still show static for a fraction of a second?

Everything's working fine for me! Battery seemed bad at first, but after having charged a few times the drain slows down drastically below 50%. It takes about 6 hours to get from 50 to 0 with full use. It probably just isn't displaying correctly.
Apart from that, everything works! Running it with a custom theme/navbar and everything. No problems whatsoever

Hello,
I am from Greece and Ive bought from Vodafone a Huawei P9 lite vns-l21 before one month. Ive installed the nougat rom 370 with firmware finder but I made a mistake choozing the NRD-90M test key. So I begun to roll back to Marshmallow. Everything ok. Then Itried to install an other rom from firmware finder(i think C432b371) and again NRD-90M test key...
Again roll back to Marshmallow...so in the first step when i was trying to install with dload method the Huawei P9 Lite Rollback Package For L21C432 (EU) my phone stucked on boot loop but I had fastboot. Then I have unlocked the bootloader to see if there is anything that i can do with srk tool and now i have a beautifull bricked phone stuck :
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.
you device is booting now"
In this point nothing happens, I can not go to fast boot, No recovery mode, The hardware keys not doing anything, only resetting the phone in loop..
I dont know what to do and Huawei wants 215euro to fix my phone.
My mistake I know but is there enything that i can do know? Its a new phone!
Sorry for my english
I would suggest getting an sdcard and creating a dload folder inside, then putting an official rom UPDATE.APP file inside the dload folder and try 3button method

As far as I understand, you can't even power off your device which is a problem since the 3button method won't work if you can't power off the device.

Hmm I dont get why they want 215 euro to exchange the storage chip.
I guess your phone is pretty much a brick now have fun. Lol sry
I had a similar problem with the boot-loop.
Press PowerOff until the screen goes black, and then immediately leave power-off and press Power Off + Volume Up for ever until the phone boots normally.
That's what I did and worked for me.
Can you boot to fastboot, if you can you can recover it with DC-Phoenix tool.

No he cant, I have the same problem. Cant fastboot, adb or 3 button method. Even tried unplugging battery then doing 3 button method.
Anyone sopve this problem with no fastboot no recovery no 3 buttons mode?
try to drain the battery, keep screen on, or keep phone on until battery is 0%, you can't turn it on . keep volume down and power pressed, plug usb to pc , if you're lucky fastboot could be ok
Hi there, I also managed to brick my P9Lite - no recovery, no fastboot. After draining the battery completly the phone starts fine but I can't install system updates. I guess I have to live with that. Unfortunately I can't activate bluetooth. Does anyone has an idea how to get bluetooth working again?
idk for your BT issue , but did you try Firmware Finder for Huawei ? easy to use, you will probably able to dl an update. don't use "small " package OTA, use full firmware, about1.6 or 1.8 Go, may could fix your BT.

didn't work out as Firmware Finder is only another way to find a firmware but not another way to install the firmware...
Hello guys,
sorry if i write this but i think necessary to grab best helps..
Try to describe problem in detail (ex. - i was upgrading/downgrading from..........to............ firmware and it bricks, etc...)
Your latest working phone/system/firmware (ex. - mine was VNS-L31C432B381-before i upgraded to EliteRom).
Some information changes according to the country / region of the world in which you live,
so they are useful for those who help you to redirect to the correct thread / give right suggestions...
All the best guyz
didn't work out as Firmware Finder is only another way to find a firmware but not another way to install the firmware...
Yes , a way to get last firmware, or firmware you want through the huawei update app. Without firmware finder ,no way to " force" huawei update app to install anything you want on your device
Sorry for the late response, I'm reading the thread right now. Firmware Finder can also be used to install firmware through eRecovery. Install Firmware Finder for Windows: http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/v2/GetLatestVersion.action
You need to write down your existing and change both DNS addresses in your router to: 81.177.139.39
You also need to deactivate IPv6 protocol.
Open FirmwareFinderRewrite.exe, go to "common base" and search VNS-LXXCXXX (Your model and customization). Copy the link in "changelog" not of the newest, but of the 2nd or 3rd youngest firmware. Check if it has been approved by pasting the link under the tab with the checkmark (5th position counting from left). If the response is "This firmware was approved to install" you are ready to go.
Copy the same link in the proxy field (the cloud symbol, 4th position counting from left). Click on "set" and "register update".
Now switch off your phone, press "Vol+" and simultaneously connect it to the PC. You enter eRecovery now. Tap on "Download latest version and recovery". Your phone should start the download now, after a couple percent you can reset your router settings, the download will continue. If all is well, the firmware will then be installed.

Here is a quick tutorial :
Make sure you backup your important files because it will factory reset
1- Turn off your phone
2- Plug your phone to PC using USB cable
3- Long press VOL UP + POWER untill you enter eRecovery
(You can unplug the USB cable after you enter eRecovery)
4- Choose the option : Download latest version and recovery
It will start the wi-fi and connect, then it will find your latest firmware automatically and start downloading and installing.
i hope this helps...

Maybe it's because you have very old firmware because it didn't used to work for me before when i had old firmware, i will upload my eRecovery from b194 for you and you can flash it and try it maybe it will work.

Hi,
I bricked my Huawei P8 Lite by accident when I tried to root it after unlocking bootloader. I can't post links here yet but I followed Rootjunky.com's Youtube video "How to Root the Huawei P8 Lite Android phone" and while I was in the process of installing SuperSU it froze on the logo startup screen and won't go past it. People say in the comments that this happens with the 6.0 version but I'm not sure what I have. I've tried rebooting using power button plus down and can get to the recovery mode screen and hit "eRecovery" but it won't connect with the wifi.
Is there any way I can solve this? I am desperate! I have the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" program on my PC. Is there something I can do from the fastboot screen on the phone?
Help please!
Try using marahmallow latest update.app and after that lollipop rollback update.app, put into dload folder on sdcafd and hold volume up + volume down + power until update starts

Hey, thanks, but I'm not sure on how to do this. I don't have much experience with the technical side of this and I'm not really sure how to go about doing what you suggest here. Do you mean put the downloads on the sd-card on my phone? My phone don't show up on my pc since it gets stuck in start-up mode so how would I do that?
Thanks for your patience with an imbecille!

Here you have a really nice guide with links etc https://huaweifirmware.com/huawei-p8-lite/
Make sure to label the folders correctly. Use an adapter or another phone to connect microsdcard to your computer Try to use the second, marshmallow part. if ot doesnt work try two other methods. Choose files accordingly (single sim or dual sim) Hope you will fix your phone
Phew! Okay, so I got it to work! For anyone out there with the same problem, I got it to work by entering the fastboot screen on the phone by holding down the power button plus the volume down button, connecting it to my PC and then using the command prompt program 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' to flash the files BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img and SYSTEM.img (using the command "fastboot flash boot filename FILENAME.img") that I got from Huawei's official UPDATE.app file and extracted with Huawei Update Extractor.
I didn't know what Firmware build to get so I got the B630 Android Marshmallow 6.0 for my model ALE-L21 (Dual SIM). It worked, but can anyone tell me if this is the right build, and how do I know which one is the right one if I can't access the old info on my phone? Is it even the latest one? I'm in Europe.
I messed up
quick history:
I tried to install OREO using this guide. I debranded to Al10 and installed OREO, but google apps were not working so I tried to roll back. I used the SRK tool to debrand back to L29C185, and then used this nougat roll back package from here (using dload method). The dload update completed but after reboot I was getting the "Error mode" message. At this point I had access to fastboot but couldn't run any command and I would get:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
I read other threads and tried to re-unlock the bootloader. I did that and the unlock oem command worked, but now I got stuck at Error mode and I can't even access the fastboot mode :'(
The current error page screenshot is attached.
Please tell me there is a way to fix this ='[

So you rebranded back to L29C185...
So you followed a downgrade to marshmallow guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...-emui-5-to-t3515202/post69986527#post69986527
And decided to stop at step 5 after using a only 100MB dload to downgrade from oreo to nougat...
And then decided to your lock bootloader
I would advise to use dload mode now to install a working nougat dload archive for L29C185.

Thank you for your prompt reply. The thing is the phone is now in boot loop of that "Error mode" screen shot. I hold vol + and - as soon as it resets but the recovery (for installing dload) won't show up and again the "error mode" page shows up. Do you think this can be fixed if I wait for the battery to drain and phone shuts down?
Thanks again,

I tried unzipped the ROM and put it in dload folder of the sd card (I had used the same sd card with dload method several times).
Holding down vol+ and - doesn't do anything and doesn't run the recovery. The whole thing is just a boot loop of that screen shot.
What do you mean by "battery drain ... you'll see" ? Should I let the battery die before trying that? the battery is not drained yet.

In this "error mode" boot loop nothing is shown in the windows device manager. Also there is no plug and play sound , as if USB is not connected at all. Probably because it is not in fastboot mode, right?

The battery just drained and I tried the fastboot mode but the fastboot page doesn't show up. Only the same "Error Mode" page shows up

For any one who ended up visiting this thread I actually had to do what oslo suggested. This is the method 3 of DC-unlocker. Paid for a 3-day license of dc-unlocker and HCU and then used the testpoint method to fix the phone. Two points:
- when you are doing that in windows 10, you have to disable the driver signature enforcement to be able to install install the Huawei com driver.
- The test point is just one point, meaning that the other point is the ground (practically most of those silver metals beside the test points are all ground)
Hi guys, I messed up my mate 8 64gb variant. C636. Im not sure exactly what has happened with the phone but I'll explain. I updated to nougat, unlocked bootloader and then completely forgot that with nougat..you can't root the same way as with mm. Now all I get is the your device is unlocked and cant be trusted msg....and that's it!.
What exactly has happened? Vol up + down +power doesn't work and I have no erecovery.
What's the best way to fix this?

Try dload method. Create dload folder in sd card, then from nougat zip rom extract UPDATE.APP and place in the folder. With phone off press and hold Vol up + down +power.
