[Q] Huawei Honor 3C hard-bricked ?

Hi all,
I just like to share a problem and I need your advice.
I have a Huawei Honor 3C and wanted to upgrade to Android 4.4 Kitkat. I wanted to unlock the bootloader. I used SPFlashtool but forgot to remove the battery and an error occurred. The phone went out and never started after this. When I try attempting to restart, no sign of the phone. I tried all possible ways (volume + and power, volume - and power, ...) but nothing worked. I put it in charge to hope for a sign of life, but only a continuous vibration appears when charging and the screen remained desperately dark. :crying:
Is my phone dead? Is this a hard-brick? Is there a way to fix it?
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

i think that if you brick you phone flashing you must have mediatek drivers, so i will skip this part, i cant post link here cause im new so i will send you metod for mp.
you must have an stock rom in dload folder in sd. if you have original version(which you device brought is much better.

Read carefully this thread, I think you will find solution (if you haven't found yet) good luck

I am also having same problem. no solution yet. all options tried in spflash tools still having "Obtain DRAM failed" error. any suggestion.

Most huawei devices (hard bricked) and show BROM error using spftools try this software by huawei.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qrl5vk82sx3s4ce/AABILCc-RJFE2Qlk3NoyvktQa?dl=0
if not worked in first time select another device from same generation and try on that then come back and try with same model

just a question: motion control (in settings) is an empty page or has all the voice for control?
the first solution i can give to you is to try an hard reset of the phone...otherwise if hard reset doesn't work maybe your phone is a branded version so you need to first debrand (in italy this problem was related to people who flashed B609 over a brand fw)
if you have root maybe this will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/ascend-p7-b602-emui-3-0-international-t2972854

I did factory reset and my phone got all 4G variants fully functional.
first replace 609 UPDATE in dload in SD card, then you must use local update option. that's all.

Nice try man! Ok, did you try to update b311 using ffinder, or just with beta program? Now, I see that they remove beta b311 from ffinder...
Also, just keep it in mind that Emui 8 change some partitions including recovery sectors. So, we dont have Twrp for emui 8 for our models, and its big posibillity to stuck on some beta emui 8 lets say Al00C00 without any chance to rollback to Emui 5 and destroy partitions, brick your phone trying that. Just wait for custom recovery for Emui 8 for Kirin 658, after that u can do some experiments ?
Regards.

new tests.
Too bad, I tried DC-Phoenix V50 with 15 credits.
to install b331-log, after having restarted the installation 4 or 5 times, he finished installing it completely. I wonder how dc-phoenix can create a new partition.
and that on xda, there is no dev that could create an equivallent toolkit.
But, the p9 lite remains on a black screen, the volume and power buttons do not respond anymore.
no led lights up. But it still remains recognized in fastboot mode.
so, I can always go back to a clean device.

Huawei p9 always rebooting every 2 minutes

Hello everyone,
I'm new in xda's forum and so that's my first thread.
I hope you can help me.
I have a Huawei P9 EVA-L09C02B357 that lately it automatically reboot about every 2 minutes. The interesting things is that it happened only if I boot the ROM (stock or not). But in recovery mode (or erecovery) or fastboot mode, this automatic reboot doesnt manifest.
All is started when I have tried to install RROS Nougat on my phones and it was working when i tried to turn off the phone and then turn it on but nothing, the phone was stuck on boot phase.
I decided to switch data file system from f2fs to ext4 and then reinstall it as the guide explains.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-t3606185
The ROM worked correctly except the fingerprint sensor.
During the first configuration, it scans my fingerprint but for a bug, i couldnt go over the first scan.
Searching on the internet I understood that the problem could be the modem. But for a mistake I have flashed the wrong fix for the modem (it was for another phone, don't ask me how I didnt notice it).
Now even with stock rom or custom the phone has this automatic reboot. Particularly the stock rom has many bugs every time i flash it, like: there isn't the IMEI, there aren't any preinstalled apps, is really slow in some situations and the default keyboard is the voice typing...
I think the solution is to flash the stock modem, but when I try to flash it via fastboot, it says: "No suitable files selected. Check profiles.xml".
Thanks in advance
P.S. sorry for my bad english :C

Can you send me the MM firmware?

To go back to android 6, my phone should have android 7 installed? Cuz now i have some problems to flash it.

UPDATE
Thank you so much vampirian!
I have successfully installed android 6 and the automatic reboot is gone.
Now i'll try to update it and probably retry to install RROS .
(yes i'm stubborn).

I know I don't write a lot of things or give you all the links. But it was good for you to research and learn more about your device good job and good luck with rros (although is dated and its not really worth, but that's just my opinion )

This is not the serial number (of your device) but the stock firmware build mame/number
If you debrand to c432 (EU) from your c900, you will automatically receive (must have SIM card in) OTA updates first to b242 (over your b182) and then further OTA updates up to b399 or even b502

If you have debranded to c432 as suggested in my previous post, let it update as far as it gets (b398, b399 or even b502).
Once it stops receiving OTAs, perform Hard reset with wiping Internal memory (you can do it from Settings or from eRecovery)
Btw, if it attempts an OTA but it fails, then go back to the updating screen and choose Full update, instead of (default) differential update.
Which ROM to suggest you - Magic Rainbow v4:

Now the phone is installing the b395 update. Is the hard reset necessary?
I knwo the existence of Magic Rainbow but i didn't know that it is based on Emui. I'll download it because i guess it is more stable than RROS.

It seems that i cant go over b395.

Are you now on EVA-L09 c432 b395, exactly as that?
You do not receive further OTA, or you received OTA but it failed (in that case force Full update as suggested above)?
If you're really not receiving OTA b398 or b399, try Hard reset with wiping Internal memory - if still mo OTA, install b398 by HWOTA method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
Once you reach b398, you're ready for MR v4.

If you boot to eRecvery ( Vol+ and Pow) you will find Hard reset option.
Similarly, under Settings /Advanced Settings/ Reset phone there is also hard reset option - cannot tell you better details, I have TWRP and MR v4, I don't have these options.
Also if you 'dial' ' *#*#2846579#*#* a hidden Project menu will open, with Restore Factory option

Both two last options as listed (Settings and Project Menu) are present in stock ROM.
And you can boot to eRecovery as above - shut down, then press and keep pressing Vol+ and Pow together
If not OTA, then the best way for manual updating is HWOTA, I gave you the link also above
But still, you didn't confirm, are you really on EVA L09 c432 b395, ie, you are not on L19 (by mistake)

I was on EVA-L09 c432 b395 and now I'm on b502. I tell you what I did.
I tried to make a reset bt the Project Menu option but, the reset it didn't gave any update...
So I tried with firmware finder (android version) and I used the DNS method. I have chosen the b397 OTA and the updater found it.
During the download, it arrived at 25% and suddenly the phone has found the b502 for a total of 4 patch to download together (I dont know how to explain that thing).
After download the phone reboot for installing phase but it failed... and on boot it appeared a red warning, then i went to erecovery, shut off the phone and go to recovery mode for a factory reset.
Factory reset was a success but on boot the red warning still appear but i tried to continue to boot... fortunately it was all ok but the phone was on b395.
It magically appeared the screen for b502 Full-OTA update and now I have it!
I wouldn't understimate you but I always prefer to try solution by myself.

I was running EMUI 9.1 and was trying to install EMUI 10 with the dload method with SD card. I used the 10.0.170 C432 firmware wich I found on androidhost.ru
The installation was succesfull, but now, when I boot the phone, I only shows a screen what says "your device had loaded a different software"
I tried everything, nothing works to restore the phone...
Had anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
