Huawei P7 L-10 broken recovery, bricked - Huawei Ascend P7

Phone Info:
Huawei P7 L10
android 4.4.2
emu 2.3
b126 official firmware
rooted
i changed a boot animation in romtoolboxpro from 800x800 to 1080x1920 and installed to my device, clicked the preview option and it wroked but when i rebooted i was left with an error message in place of my recovery, and i cannot boot up the phone normally. or at all for that matter. i can go into fastboot&rescue mode, and it shows that my bootloader is still unlocked but i have no way to flash the recovery img to my system, so my phone is currently a brick.

Please provide more information - is the ROM the stock one? Did you flash a recovery? Did you flash a bootloader? Is the bootloader locked or unlocked?

Most Probably Flashed Wrong Boot or Recovery img ... or used some other rom ..... Like L05/L07 rom on L00
I flashed [ROM] Se7en-Rom v3.8 / EMUI 3.0 / 4.4.2 / B602. after I flashed CWM flashable from recovery B609 for P7-L10 .after I wanted to go back and have left the mess .from fastboot I flashed all boot and recovery possibile but nothing. continuing to turn back with Huawei logo or just in fastboot

Flash the recovery from here. This is the official recovery for B609.
After that, download B609 full official ROM, and put it on the SD card in a folder called dload. (Note: the file is probably zipped - the only thing you need is a file called update.app.)Start the device by holding all three buttons. Force update should commence and you should get a usable, fresh official B609.
i tryed to do what did you said but it didn't work
thank you anyway
I tried everything you guys .According you can run again? bootloader and unlocked I have done everything with PC bootloader. but with the usual commands (flash boot, recovery.system.cust.userdata) caisson other commands that you can do? you can say if you can restore or abandon so?
Did you try to flash cwm 2.8.1.0 then flash MyROM 3.3, then flash full version B609?

Help me unbrick my P9 and get back to stock (marshmellow android 6.0 FW) please

So i was wanting to upgrade my P9 EVA-L09 phone to Nougat 7.0 i followed guides on here to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root the device which went fine. I then got the 2 Nougat FW files from here http://www.stechguide.com/download-huawei-p9-b380-nougat-update-2/ and used TWRP to install the first file 'update.zip' which flashed fine but i didnt realise i needed to also flash the 'update_data_full_EVA-L09_ee_gb.zip' file before rebooting the phone, so after the first file was flash i rebooted the phone from TRWP the phone booted fine but i notice some apps etc were missing. So i tried to boot the phone into TWRP again to flash the 'update_data_full_EVA-L09_ee_gb.zip' file but im was unable to get TWRP to load and all it would load was the Huawei eRecovery app.
So i then decied to try and get back to stock FW buy getting the Marshmellow FW (android 6.0) and using the Volume up + down and power method to force the FW flash, that said it flash successfully but now im stuck on a 'this system is rebooting' loop screen.
Fastboot screen is still saying the phone is 'Unlocked' but FRP is 'Locked'. What do i need to do to get this phone working again please?, is there a recovery FW i can force flash via the Volume Up + Down + Power button method??

Issues with flashing TWRP and rooting VIE-AL10

Firstly I need to say that I've read the forums from top to bottom before posting this, so I'm pretty sure no one here experienced this particular issue here on a P9 Plus at least.
I've tried tried to flash TWRP in order to be able to root my P9 Plus.
To do this I did the following steps:
1. Enable Developer Options in settings
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Successfully unlocked my bootloader using a code from Huawei
4. Entered fastboot mode and flashed the latest TWRP 3.1.1 recovery from their website
5. After Huawei's eRecovery kept opening I (after a suggestion in another post in the forums) flashed TWRP on recovery2 as well.
6. Phone stuck in "Your device is booting now..." screen and only booting in fastboot mode is working.
Any ideas what I've broken and how I could possibly fix it?
EDIT: At this point I'm willing to flash everything back to stock, however I'm not sure if I've got the VIE-AL10C00 or VIE-AL10BC00. I'm using the 64GB Dual SIM Chinese version of the phone with Android N and got both firmwares downloaded (updatebc183 for BC00 and 198 for C00 which are the latest for both versions) and ready.
EDIT2: I downloaded the correct latest full update 198 for my VIE-AL10C00 (as it turns out) and extracted the recovery and recovery2 images, then flashed them along with boot.img. Still having the same issue. (I need to say that in fastboot I can't flash anything other than recovery, recovery2 and boot images)

Hi, i think my honor 5 c is hard bricked. i cant acces stock recovery nor twrp recovery. First i wiped system to install emui 5.0 but it didn't worked. then i tried another recovery but i didn't start. So i replaced stock recovery with twrp that also didn't worked.

Charge the batrery, unlock the bootloader, install twrp from p9 lite section, boot to twrp, and flash the custom roms or download the rom given in rom section of p9 lite, may be arsenik and restore it in twrp.

Bootloop P9

Hi there guys. Please excuse me for posting this in the QA thread but because I am a new member it wouldn't let me post in the recovery section. I joined XDA just to get some help with my Huawei P9
So I have a Huawei P9 (EVA-L19) and I tried to load a custom rom onto my phone. I was going to load resurrection remix 6 onto my phone but did not get that far.
I got as far as flashing TWRP recovery onto my phone. Once I flashed TWRP recovery I still could not get into TWRP 3.1.1 instead I kept entering eRecovery. So I flashed Recovery2 with TWRP and now my phone is in a boot loop. If I let the phone battery drain completely I can boot the phone. But if I shut down or reboot the phone for any reason while there is power in the battery the phone gets stuck in a boot loop. My Bootloader is unlocked but I can't get the phone into fastboot mode. Even with Volume- and Power key and USB. It just goes straight to "phone can't be trusted page" and then boot loops. Is there a way to fix my phone when I let it run completely flat and then log back into EMUI? I tried factory refresh but it just got stuck on bootloop.
So to summarize.
*My phone gets stuck on a boot loop on all reboot/power on scenarios EXCEPT when starting from a completely drained battery.
*Cannot access fastboot.
*Unlocked bootloader
*Not Rooted
*Rebooting phone gets it stuck in a boot loop.
*How to fix phone either back to EMUI or RR6.0
I would wish to either just get my phone working again on EMUI as a last resort. But ultimately I would like to finish putting on RR6.0 because I was unhappy to hear P9 wouldn't get Oreo updates.

RROS 6.0 must go on Android Oreo / EMUI 8.
You first had to rebrand your phone by HWOTA7 to Chinese Oreo AL10 c00 b535 or b528.
Were you rebrabding and hence needed TWRP, or you were trying to flash RROS 6 (for Oreo) on L19 (on Nougat or even MM) together with TWRP 3.1.1 for Nougat?
Please answer precisely:
- What was the full name and number of your stock build you were starting from (like EVA-L19c432b504 or so, not just "P9 L19")
- Have you already flashed (by Fastboot) RROS 6.0 or your first step was trying to install this TWRP?
- Where did you pick up that TWRP 3.1.1.1?
If you picked directly from TWRP site then this TWRP might not work even for Nougat (EMUI 5.x)
- If you picked proper TWRP from XDA threads, then there is always an important detail described:
Immediately upon flashing TWRP, you must boot into TWRP - otherwise you loose TWRP as if it was never flashed.
You must:
- press and keep pressing Vol+
- type in: fastboot reboot, Enter
- IMMEDIATELY at the moment when phone turns off, disconnect USB
- keep pressing Vol+ until you see it boots to TWRP.
Reasons that you were not able to install TWRP might be:
- wrong TWRP
- you did not follow this 'trick'
- you were flashing proper TWRP for Nougat but your L19 was on MM (EMUI 4.x), or you were flashing it once you already rebranded to Chinese AL10 Oreo, or upon you flashed RROS 6....
There are various possibilities, please precisely describe - it's not why TWRP did not flash but why (after this possible mess) your phone does not boot and how to fix it now

No I did not get as far as flashing RR6.
I downloaded TWRP 3.1.1 openkiren for Eva from TWRP's download page.
I only got as far as attempting to flash TWRP no custom rom was flashed yet.
I could of sworn I HAD EVA-L19C185B405 when I started this process.
However I now have EVA-L19C185B403. Not sure if my phone rolled back somehow. If I try search for updates it says the phone is up to date.
My L19 is on Nougat. It's on EMUI 5.0.3 Android 7.0
I did not rename my phone with any Chinese P9 builds or any tricks like that. Didn't even know you had to do that.
My phone still works provided I don't reboot it. And if I do reboot it, it gets stuck on the bootscreen until it drains completely. Then I plug it in to power and it boots successfully again.

For EMUI 5.x you must use TWRP 3.1.1 from XDA (adapted for Huawei Nougat and its encryption), best the latest build eg from post #1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-magicrainbow-v4-t3759292
and you must flash it with the trick at rebooting as described in previous answer.
Your TWRP you flashed to Recovery2 (?) is likely not even good for Huawei N (but probably for MM).
You must fix your Recovery2 by flashing back the proper stock Recovery2.
You need to download update.zip corresponding to your c185 build by Firmware Finder (find XDA thread about, there is also PC version), unzip and put update.app to Huawei Update Extractor (find also XDA thread about) to extract your stock Recovery2.
Once you repair, please carefully read HWOTA7 instructions how to rebrand (and upgrade to Chinese Oreo - this is a must if you would like to play with OpenKirin Oreo ROMs, they can not be installed to L19 Nugat builds) - and this required rebranding is far more than 'renaming'

Put to Google eg
XDA Firmware Finder
or
XDA Huawei Update Extractor
For the other two I gave you links.
You will really need to spend your time to read the guides
Ok how do I reflash the recovery2 if I cant get into fastboot mode on my phone. Can I do it from inside EMUI?
There are two ways to boot to Fastboot
1) Power off, connect by USB to PC, press and keep pressing Vol-, press Pow
2) From Android, enable Dev options and ADB, connect by USB and execute: adb reboot-bootloader
You cannot by either way?
For Oreo but also reported for some newest Nougat builds, eRecovery gives you an option to reinstall current firmware.
But if you cannot boot to eRecovery, because you attempted to flash TWRP over Recovery2...
Actually, try to boot to eRecovery: power off, connect by USB to charger, press and keep pressing Vol+, press Pow.
If it boots to TWRP (instead of to eRecovery) you can try:
-flash stock eRecovery to recovery2
- flash (proper, from XDA, link was above) TWRP to recovery
There are other methods: HuRUpdater, HWOTA7, HWOTA as improved variations of nonCheckRecovery, but
- first two require Fastboot to start (they will flash TWRP)
- last two require already installed TWRP
(apparently not applicable to your brick)
In HiSuite, for Oreo (maybe also Nougat, I don't know if it depends on Huawei firmware or newest HiSuite version on the PC), there is an option to upgrade/downgrade.
You can try if you could (re)install some stock firmware that way but I never played with.
For eRecovery and HiSuite (if you would be able to do) it is unclear if (re)installation of stock firmware will succeed (or even further brick your phone - don't know if anybody else had such a brick as yours and tried them).
If none as above, you may try DC Phoenix (15 Euros credit?):
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial
I didn't need it but search on XDA, from time to time people report (usually in not highly exposed threads) that they were able to unbrick various Huawei phones (when no other methods worked or they were too lazy to investigate and experiment) - but their on-line instructions are not very detailed and they are not very friendly if contacted for help
