We do not know what you did to your phone, please explain it.
1) Did you use the tool that increases your internal storage for apps?
2) What happens if you hold vol+ and vol- and turn on the phone?
3) What happens if you hold vol+ while turning on the phone?
4) What happens if you try to simply boot up the thing?
5) What happens if you follow the instructions Huawei provides for updating the ROM?
You might have damaged the partition table of your internal memory. That should not be that big of a deal - as long as your computer still recognizes the device.
If your computer does not recognize the device, do the following: Download the .iso-image provided here. Burn it onto a CD and start it up, it is a linux-live-cd. There will be only one program, gparted. It will recognize your device.
No my computer recognises the phone...i tried to increase the internal memory...if i hold vol+ and - the phone goes in to bootloader...i cna also access the recovery mod...if i boot the phone...it just says IDEOS and frezzes there..i followed the instructions on huawei and stock rooms...install but at the end they say instalation failed...hope i didn't forget anything

Than all you have to do is go into Recovery, mount the SD Card, copy the customer Rom and install it.
Amm...well i tryed that...and it's the same thing..still get that same IDEOS screen and nothing happens..and what is a customer ROM?
We'll...it's over..my phone died:/...i tryed the gparted...and screwed something up even more...so i'm gonna take it back tommorow..tnx for the help..
If you do not explain what you doing exactly I am afraid I cannot help you. gparted is a tool used to format and partition memory. You cannot screw up anything, it is just a software change. I suggest you tell us what you see when you select the device within gparted (which partitions show up etc.) before returning it.
i see nothing..the phone doesn't even wanna turn on now since i did something with gparted...and gparted doesn't show my device..cos it doesn't read it...it's dead..
If it does not turn on anymore you do need to send it in for repair. Please be careful the next time and if you do want to apply that partition program, do exactly what the instructions say. Besides overclocking this is the only thing you should not experiment with.
Well hopefully you get a new device (or a repaired one) soon!
Hi everyone
I have a Huawei U8800 which I can no longer boot (it gets stuck at the white Huawei screen). I can, however, access the 'pink screen' (vol+, vol-, power button) and the files when connecting it to my computer, but entering recovery mode (vol+, power button) does not seem to work.
I am an utter noob, so my approach to solve my problem would be to simply take the phone back to the shop, but first I would like to erase my personal data. Is this possible in my case, without voiding my warranty? In case it is not, could you perhaps tell me how I could go about fixing the phone myself (in such a case I would also be willing to scrap the warranty)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
PS: I have not rooted the phone or done anything like that, all I did was installing a couple of apps, so it's pretty much in its original state.
You should be able to flash one of the original roms and the phone would boot if there're no hardware problems.
The original roms were removed from the huawei website but if you search the site there were plenty links afaik.
Thanks dionero. The trouble is that I am too much of a noob to understand what exactly you mean by 'flash one of the original roms'. Could you please provide some more detail? Thanks a lot
Here is a rom with instructions on how to flash :

Thanks again! I will give it a go later on today.
Did you manage to recover the phone?
Thanks for asking! First I need to go and buy a micro SD card, as that seems to be required for the process. But I'll post an update once that's done and I've attempted the recovery. Thanks again for your time!!
Hi,
finally the micro SD card has been delivered - I'll never buy from that shop again, what long shipping times!
Anyway, I'm afraid the recovery did not work. The phone did react, said it was performing the upgrade, and it the end it even displayed the "Upgrade completed" message. Attempts to reboot, however, still don't let me get any further than the Huawei screen
One further observation I have made (even before the attempted recovery, but ever since the phone stopped booting): when the phone is switched off (which nowadays can only be accomplished by removing the battery), and I plug it into the power outlet, it immediately starts its booting attempt. When the phone was still alright, however, it would recharge its battery without trying to boot immediately. I don't know whether that's important, but maybe someone can make use of this information!?
Well, in case anyone on here has got some more suggestions as to what else I could try I would be really grateful. Thanks a lot for your time and effort, and for reading this!
How long did you wait at the Huawei screen? First start takes longer time and it should reboot multiple times. Anyway, you should try flashing one of the recoveries, 5.0.2.3 for example. You can find it in the development section. With that you should wipe cache and data, delete dalvik cache and then try to start it.
I'm on mobile so I can't give you a good tutorial, but recovery should be fairly easy to install (look for stockwell's recovery).

Thanks, Blefish, for your reply. I tried recovery flashing at some point along the way, and I tried it again now, this time using the version you suggested. Still I simply cannot boot into recovery mode. I can either get the "pink screen", or simply the white Huawei screen, even if I press Vol+ and the power button (I've also tried pressing them for different amounts of time, but all to no avail)
Oh, and as an answer to your question: I waited for maybe 15 minutes or so.
Sorry wrong info
1. Download a stock rom.
2. Create a folder on the SD card named "dload"
3. Copy UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP from stock rom archive to dload folder
4. Insert sdcart to phone
5. Switch on phone with press vol+ and vol- buttons
6. The installation will start automatically
Thanks ufukyayla, but what you're suggesting is exactly what dionero had suggested earlier, and unfortunately it did not work.

It should try to install upgrade from sd card after 4-6 restarts.. Put the update.zip or update.app (whichever you have) on sdcard, try to not into recovery mode, it will must probably fail and try to upgrade from sdcard...
The same happened with me, try it once
Thanks

If you have TWRP or CWM Recovery, do this
Since you're on bootloop, shutdown the device (press power key for few seconds until it completely shuts down). Then, press the following keys at the same time: Power + Volume Up for few seconds then as it vibrates leave the Power key but keep on pressing the Volume Up key. You will get to recovery mode and backup your data.
If no such recoveries then do this
Shutdown the device completely. Copy your current version or any other version (will be either UPDATE.ZIP or UPDATE.APP) in a folder , name that dload and paste it in your sdcard.. Now insert the sdcard into the phone, and restart it.. For few times, it may get in bootloop , if it gets, restart it again.. after few times, it will try to update the system itself and will find that dload folder in your sdcard and upgrade it..
That's it
Thanks again man
But I'm not gonna lose my data such as photos,videos and contacts?
Because all my data in the internal storage

You shouldn't lose your data since it is just like a firmware Update without any wipes. But I'm not gonna guarantee anything since idk what you did with your device.
Thanks for everything guys.
I will try it and give you feedback
Hi there !
I just switched from a Windows Phone to a Huawei P9 Lite (VNS-L31), my first Android phone (never too late, I guess?).
I was following the instructions provided in this toolkit (https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873) to unlock the dual SIM support, as this phone is from Orange and locked to single SIM.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted the phone. I got to the stage when updating the phone from the SD card is requested. Stock firmware was L31C109B120, new firmware is L31C432B130.
The update seemed to progress well, but actually no, as the phone is now bricked (black screen, screen will not power on, does not display anything).
Powering the phone with any combination of Vol+, Vol- and Power depressed results in nothing at all.
So I installed adb + fastboot and at least the phone is recognized in fastboot. I successfully unlocked the bootloader (again?) within fastboot with my unlock code.
Now I am able to manually flash the boot, recovery and system partitions from the B130 firmware. Unfortunately, this results in nothing, the phone will still not boot to anything else than fastboot mode.
I have limited knowledge/experience with Android phones, so I am kind of stuck now. I have read several topics and fastboot definitely seems to be the way to go, but there must be something that I am doing wrong.
I was wondering whether someone would be willing to give me some insight, please?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Eric.
[Edit]: I was able to flash the stock VNS-L31C432B130 firmware but not with fastboot... I had to use DC-Phoenix and pay 15€ to do so. Is there a free equivalent to DC-Phoenix yet?
Hello
I think you should disconnect the cable and press on volume + and power erevovery wipe factory, cache. Restart
If it does not work, start again.
With the toolkit, bootloader code, installs twrp,
Go download c432oeminfo double sim.zip Badwolf
Fashe c432oeminfo.zip.
switch off.
Doad b130.
Yes, this solution saved my phone... And u can try flash with fastboot any partition (recovery, system....)

Thank you for your help, guys!
Yet, nothing happens when I disconnect the cable and try to reboot the phone while holding Vol+ and Power. Vol- and power or Vol+, Vol- and Power do not deal any better result unfortunately. The screen remains off.
I believe I should delete/flash something through fastboot, but I do not know what! I believe I have tried everything I could think of, and I am running out of ideas...
Yet the phone is accessible through fastboot, so all hope is not lost, right?
Well, I have good news: I managed to reflash my phone by following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...green-t3485836
You have to download and use DC-Phoenix to flash a stock firmware to the phone.
The bad part is that it is a paid service that will cost you 15€... but for me it was worth it in comparison with having a dead phone.
I wonder why no one has come up with a free equivalent to DC-Phoenix yet?
Hey,
On my Huawei p10 lite ( was-lx1a )
I have unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and SuperSu,
backed up my phone via TWRP and installed carbon Rom.
That lead to a boatloop.
I then restored my phone via the TWRP / Nadroid recovery which was not working, after that I installed the stock rom which was not working either.
I am still on a boot loop.
I have have access to TWRP and to Huawei E-Recovery.
On Huawei E-Recovery I always get the message "Getting Package Info Failed".
Is there anything I can do or is my phone done?
Frank
I know this is late and I'm not even sure if this will work for everyone, but here's what I did when my p10 lite was stuck in the boot loop after a factory reset:
1. Take out SIM card and any SD card.
2. Let the battery drain completely.
3. Plug in and start a hard reboot (Volume UP + Power Button until Huawei logo appears, then let go).
4. Select Wipe Cache.
5. Select Factory Reset/Data Wipe.
6. Wait - this will take a while, especially with the battery is struggling to charge.
7. Begin set-up when prompted (language, etc).
8. Insert SIM card when prompted.
9. Start setup as a new device, as you can always do a data restore later (if you have it backed up on an SD card or cloud).
10. Wait, again - this will take a while.
I think why my particular phone was stuck in a loop after the factory reset was because the retailer had sold me an unlocked phone from another country, which they had been quite sneaky about. I assumed it was a Canadian phone coming from a Canadian retailer. Don't make my mistake because having a phone from another country voids any warranty you might have and your phone essentially becomes recycling because no one will take it to repair it, not even the manufacturer - not even if you throw money at them.
Hope this helped someone!
