Soft-bricked Huawei Ascend P7?

I have tried to root my Huawei Ascend P7 L10 phone, using Root Genius and also Kingo Root through my Windows PC.
The rooting has not been complete, something has been messed up on my phone.
When I try to enter recovery mode (volume + and -, and power), the led slowly blinks green and red, and the screen shows this message:
"Unfortunately boot failed, get more information... (Chinese letters) ...shutdown/rescue mode..."
After choosing rescue mode, the screen says "...Phone unlocked"...
I have several times tried to collect information on how to solve this, but the threads contain bits and pieces and partly tutorials/videos.
I would like to find a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to deal with this problem.
Also I have read that I need to install ADB, SDK, this and that, but it's hard to follow the instructions from beginning to end.
Can anyone help me with this?

Have you found a solution?

What is your firmware version?
As far as I know that you could try to flash stock recovery and boot image and then download a compatible firmware for your phone and then force upgrade it which would solve the problem.

go to setting, and about phone

@jonnynordhus, i've already helped someone with a similar problem, try this:
Download B852 official ROM and copy it to root of your SD card to a new folder "dload"
It should look like this "/dload/UPDATE.APP"
Extract UPDATE.APP (on your computer) using Huawei Update Extractor (all files)
Go into bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
Now open command line and use ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) to send following commands to your phone:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
Now force update by turning off your phone, and turing him back on while holding all 3 buttons pressed down.
When screen comes on release the Power button but keep holding both Volume rockers pressed down until you see an EMUI logo.
If for any reason it fails to install, go back into recovery and do Wipe data/Factory Reset, and than try again.
Let us know how it went

I cant figure out my problem

Hello everybody !
I'm here today because i have a problem I can not figure out.
When I got my ascend p7 I download a room I found on this website called "My rom v3.3 B609" to enjoy the emiu 3. Everything works fine, I am really happy of this rom. But I wanted to upgrade my phone, in order to get android L. It's been more than two months that I try, look for answers and so on but nothing works.
Everytime that I want to flash a new rom, the CWM ( 6.0.5.0 ) tells me " installation aborded". And no matter what rom it is, it does not work. I've heard about the Notepad method but I can not find the sentences to delete.
I am really stuck, I can not even downgrad. My CWM wont let me do anything.
So if somebody could tell me what is the problem, it would be really good.
Thank you in advance !

in order to flash a original firmware you need to replace the cwm with the designated recovery.img of the rom you want, also you need to flash the boot.img of the same rom you want..then you have to force update with the 3 button method..
search around the forum..it is described several timea in many threads..

EVA-L09C150: Change firmware to C432. Possible?

Hi all,
I have a branded L09C150B182 huawei P9 phone.
Is it possible to change the firmware to a C432 in order to debrand it?
If yes, how can I do it? I am totally new to Huawei.
Thanks a lot for your help
******************************
Solution summary
I successfully debranded my L09C150B182 to L09C432B182
I followed the instructions given in the video tutorials:
1.) [HOW-TO] Root Huawei Phone with SRKTool Huawei
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMNVruAU6do
2.) [GUIDE] How to debrand Huawei Phone by SRK Tool Huawei
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZVsIKtdgV4
I skipped the step change ro.build.display.id, as my phone automatically installed a C900 firmware after I changed the OEM info
3.) After installing C900 firmware, I used the dload method to upgrade to C432 firmware e.g. by using the following dload method

Thanks a lot for your reply. All went smooth but at the end I bricked the phone. Please check the following post in which I documented my current issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/p9-bricked-t3538840/post70570522#post70570522
Any idea how to solve this Problem?

Don't worry, just flash a stock rom again using the dload method... this one for example.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
You will have to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and SuperSU again if you want root.

Hi colthekid,
thanks for your fast reply. I tried the dload method yesterday but it was not working. The Firmware from Flash Card in the phone was not loaded.
So I have to press both volume + and volume - and power to make that happen?
I just took a brand new Flash Card (without formatting the same in the phone) and copied over the dload Folder from the link above.
Maybe there is an issue because I am still having an open bootloader?
Thanks, morro

Yep, phone turned off, hold vol up & vol down then press power until boots into erecovery. Update should start automatically. Don't have phone connected to PC, although mains power is fine.
The dload folder (with update files inside) needs to be at the root of the SD card (not inside another folder) so a blank/formatted card is good. An unlocked bootloader is irrelevant, I've done this with both an unlocked and a locked bootloader and the update process locks it again anyway.
When you tried before did the update start in erecovery, but fail at a %, or did you not get into erecovery?

Hi. Yesterday when I tried the dload on SD Card it did not boot into erecovery at all. It went into a Screen where "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted .... Your device is booting now... " was shown. Here the System stuck until forever. But maybe I did not hold vol up & vol down and pressed power Long enough. At the moment I can not turn the phone of as it always boots again when I try to turn it off. Hopefully this is not a Problem.
Do I copy over the complete dload Folder or only the UPDATE.app file? As far as I remember there were two other subfolders in the dload Folder. Are These required as well?
I will try today evening after work and let you know if it is working. Thanks

The "device has been unlocked" screen is before booting into system (with 3 instructions) or a shorter one before either erecovery or TWRP (no messages). That's standard and nothing to worry about, it just shows your bootloader is unlocked.
Copy everything over and into the dload folder . So for the B136 stock rom, the dload folder should contain update.app and the hw and dt folders. Some updates may only have an update.app bit.
It's easier if the phone was off, but whatever state the phone is in, press and hold both volume keys and power & keep them held until you enter erecovery. Think you can let go of them once the phone boots, but I've always kept them pressed untill the update starts.

Thank you very much for your help colthekid
I successfully updated to B136 and afterwards to B182
It worked out fine :good:

So c432 is the unbranded rom? Where are you from? What is the c150 like in comparison? I also have the c150 (Austria) and do ned find any branding (loading screen or preinstalled apps).
Did you already got an update to nougat?

Questions:
-How were you installing the firmware (which method)?
-What firmware were you putting in?
-What version is your phone?
-What android version did your phone had before bricking it?
I've been there with the soft brick. I got my phone back to life by downloading a ROM, putting it into the external SD Card, created a folder named 'dload' and adding the UPDATE.APP file there, then, press vol up + vol down + power and the restore started.
One thing that's worth to mention is that the phone may not boot even with this, but you just need to put the phone on erecovery ( turn it on with vol up + power ) and wipe cache + factory reset. This will bring it back to life!

thank for the message
the phone is huawei P9 Plus VIE-L29 the wrong thing that I did that I flash a data file before flashing rom and the big problem that the phone enter only to the fastboot and rescue mode like the attached picture and I thing that my phone is dead now and no way to resolve this problem

Don't worry FIND THIS VIDEO in youtube Huawei Honor 7 flashing in fastboot - DC Phoenix... BUT u should payed 15 euro for using this program but it works 100 % i used it for my VIE-L29C10 this programm flashed you phone from fastboot! GOOD luck MATE

Ok, first, don't worry, this is soft brick, which means the phone will recover, it's just a matter of flashing the right rom. Follow my steps above and make sure you turn on the phone holding the 3 buttons at the same time, once the logo appears release the power button and keep both volume keys for a few seconds and release them. That's forced update mode.
The rom is about 2.8 gigabytes and must be in dload folder on the root of your external SD.

PD: Don't pay for software to get the phone back! You can do it yourself!

The device loses a Recovery Stock file that must be installed
1. Download the file Recovery Open the zip file and place the file in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot program
2. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3. Connect your phone to the computer
4. Type this command (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
5. After installing the Recovery Stock file in your mobile phone, disconnect the cable and continue pressing the stop button until it restarts and press the stop button with the volume up button until you see Recovery and load the original ROM in the SD card

Expensive Brick -Failed verification during debranding

HELP needed please
Tried to change my Vie -L09C02B133 to L09C432 - unlocked bootloader and rooted no probs so took the plunge and followed the video to debrand
After the first step re changing oeminfo again everything seemed to be ok however when my phone rebooted i got a red message saying that the phone had failed verification and may not work properly . It then asked for a password.
After a couple of reboots the phone came on but with no keyboard -
After another reboot i can't get past the Huawei logo ....
Any help appreciated

My phone wont shut down.......I can restart it but it comes up with the verification error and then sticks on logo - ive tried to put the firmware - L09C02 into the dload on my sd card but still no luck ... was originally on L09C02 before running into probs with the debranding

Ok first thing , you have already changed oeminfo , so you can not roll back at this stage to your old firmware, u changed to L09C432 so you need to download L09C432B180 I think it is, might be B181, once you have downloaded that fimware, extract it, you should have a file called UPDATE.APP, remove sd card from phone , place in pc, create a folder called dload in root directory of sdcard, then copy update.app to that folder, only update.app, then hold down volume up + volume down + power button, after phone restarts and Huawei logo appears, release only the power button, a couple seconds later release volume buttons, maybe 5 to 10 seconds after the phone should automatically start updating
