Team, so I have a P9, I'm in Australia and about a week or so ago I followed this guide http://www.stechguide.com/root-and-install-twrp-recovery-on-huawei-p9/ to unlock my bootloader, install TWRP and gain root access. It all went well and I enjoyed root access using the stock Huawei ROM. I then decided to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/beta-android-nougat-7-0-emui-5-0-eva-t3497470 this ROM. Now, in the thread it says that to get back the things that had been missing like the camera, torch and clock apps to flash the second update. I did.
Now, this has knocked out my TWRP install and my root access, and apps like the camera etc. didn't come back the way they should have. So I think that I might either go back to a Stock ROM or to a different one all together - that is until the above mentioned process no longer works to install TWRP or gain root (through SuperSU).
What happens is that I connect my phone to my laptop, run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then fastboot the TWRP.img recovery file, then do a
Code:
fastboot reboot
. When the device boots back up, it displays the phone is untrusted message and sits there, doesn't do anything, same thing as if I force power cycle it, boot to Android then
Code:
adb reboot recovery
. To me, that says that TWRP isn't installed?
Anyone able to give me some help?
Okay, to make it easier to help me (lol) I just followed this process:
Powered on, I rebooted into the bootloader by entering adb reboot bootloader
Then I installed TWRP by entering fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img - there were no errors within the Command Prompt or anything else stating that something hadn't worked
I then rebooted the device by entering fastboot reboot
Then let the phone reboot and load into Android - I then turned the device off and pressed VolUP+Power until the vibration, then let go of the power button
It's now sitting on the black screen reading "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" (so the bootloader is unlocked) then the link to the mod=restore page, then at the bottom "Your device is booting now" - now I assume it's trying to boot into TWRP, I just don't understand why it can't. Help?
Bump, I really need help guys cause I've lost Bluetooth as well!
Do you try twrp for nougat? Marsmallow twrp useless with nougat. We dont have root for nougat yet.

Good point. I don't know if I've tried that. I did go onto the twrp website and download the version for my phone, but that wouldn't be nougat would it? It'd be marshmallow. I'll start there!
When I've got time tonight after my little one goes to sleep, I'm going to try this guide; https://www.gizdev.com/twrp-recovery-root-huawei-p9/ and hopefully that'll give me the recovery, at which point I'll jump to another ROM, maybe one that's a little more stock.

I think I'll try my guide first, as the one you've linked seems a little bit doom and gloom to be honest.
So, by way of update, I tried this;
Downloaded the TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/eva/twrp-3.0.2-0-eva.img.html
Installed through ADB on the PC
And got this result;
C:\Phone\ROOT-TWRP-HUAWEI P9(GizDev.Com)\ROOT-TWRP-HUAWEI P9(GizDev.Com)\TWRP\data>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-eva.img

sending 'recovery' (22368 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.526s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.173s]
finished. total time: 0.700s
Issue closed
Okay, so the issue is now solved. Details below; hopefully it'll help someone else out in the future.
Situation recap; my P9 had been unlocked, rooted and installed with TWRP recovery. Installed a the [BETA] Android NOUGAT 7.0 EMUI 5.0 (EVA-L09C432B322) ROM which lost me more than I cared to lose, such as Bluetooth, Torch, Recovery, ROOT, Clock, Huawei Camera and some more. I couldn't get recovery working back on my device to change ROM or anything - I feared all hope was lost.
I then found http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818 which is the stock ROM installable through the force install, or three button method (Vol Up + Vol Down + Power). I downloaded this, created a folder on my SDCard named dload, copied it to there and proceeded with the three button method. Within 5 minutes, the stock ROM was installed and I was in business! I then proceeded with the standard http://www.stechguide.com/root-and-install-twrp-recovery-on-huawei-p9/ method of bootloader unlocking (as throughout the process it had locked again), TWRP install and ROOT access. There is a little bit of help that I can provide for when you're trying to find the bootloader unlock screen from within the Huawei website (as it's been moved or mislinked etc.) To get the bootloader unlock key:
Navigate to http://www.emui.com/en/
Click the Download link in the top nav bar
Click the Unlock Bootloader link
Agree to the T&C's
Enter in the data points it asks for
After that, continue through the process (note that after you unlock the bootloader, your phone will wipe) and you'll have a unlocked bootloader, with recovery installed and root access!
I'm not sure what you did wrong but I'm running the nougat beta and all the problems you mentioned about it doesn't happen to me.
Works great as a daily driver. Did you flash both the nougat zip and the camera zip? Meaning there was supposed to be two zip files to flash before rebooting because once you zip nougat, twrp disappears and you won't be able to flash the other zip.
Hi, I have the same issue.
The problem is mine is EVA L-19.
Can I follow your steps tho?

Now, I know this tutorial exists all over the place, like one-click and UnjustifiedDev tutorial but none seemed to work. I am sharing the steps and method I used IN-DEPTH command for command on how to unlock, flash, and root the LG G4 from Tmobile.
NOTE THIS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE SO BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA
1. Activate developer settings by entering the about section and tapping build number 7 times.
2. Enter your developer settings and MAKE sure you have 'Allow OEM unlock' and 'USB Debugging' enabled.
3. Download the latest SuperSU zip and move it onto your SD card.
4. Using the android issue SDK. Open a command window and link it to your SDK folder where ADB is located (typically Platform-Tools)
5. Once the Command window is linked to the folder, connect your device via USB and allow the connection.
6. On the command window type 'adb reboot bootloader' and the device should reboot with the fastboot options on the upper left of the phone screen
7. Once again on the command window type 'fastboot oem unlock' and the command window should say OKAY and complete the action.
8. To Confirm that the device is unlocked type 'fastboot getvar unlock' and the window should respond with 'Unlock: YES'
9. Now download the latest available TWRP and drop it into the platform-tools folder where your ADB.exe is located.
10. On your Command Window type 'fastboot flash recovery "NAME OF TWRP FILE" if you get the error ' cannot load 'twrp-X.X.X.X-h811' you need to add .img to the end of the filename
11. Once the process completes you will see 'target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32968 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.088s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time:'
THE FAILED UNKNOWN COMMAND NOTICE CAN BE IGNORED
12. Once the process completes the device may not let you enter recovery from the traditional method using the buttons on the back of the phone so the easiest method is to, on your command window, type
'fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h811.img' and the device should respond within just a few seconds and reboot into TWRP.
13. Once the device reboots, enter twrp and tap on install and locate the SuperSU.zip and allow it to install.
14. Once the process completes successfully, wipe cache to be safe and reboot your device.
15. Resetup your device and restore your data if necessary and install a root checker from Google Play to confirm root!
THATS IT GUYS! This took me a long time to figure this out and it's a combination of different methods to get it to work!
All credit goes to the Devs of TWRP and SuperSU!
I posted in General because I'm a new user so please move to appropriate forums! thanks!

The guide you linked does not show how to unlock the bootloader or install TWRP to allow the install of SU for users that are already on Marshmallow. The other guide would have been perfect if I already had bootloader unlocked and SU installed.

Yes it does. You do not need to use any codes, just enable oem unlocking in dev settings and type fastboot oem unlock and it will be unlocked.
Can't get twrp installed
Thanks for the step by step directions. I'm having trouble restarting my H811 after I've flashed TWRP. My device doesn't respond to the button method of entering recovery and 'fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h811.img' command doesn't do anything. My device is 20i and I've unlocked the bootloader. Any ideas? Seems like I've tried everything and can't get TWRP to install. Any help would be great...thanks

Can't remember which thread, but I ran into the same problem you have and solved it by using an additional command like fastboot erase userdata. If you google it, you'll see the commands I mean. Basically, I had to factory reset the device through fastboot first (it sits there for several minutes to do this) before installing/booting twrp. And yes, the log will show that the process was successful, not a failure as mentioned by OP. Once I did that, I booted in twrp and flashed the rom zip without any trouble.
So, you guys mean we have Marshmallow on T mobile G4, I didn't get it yet.
Please somebody give me a link to the OTA or update.zip for MM of LG G4
This one worked for me!
This is the only guide that worked for me.
I unlocked bootloader using adb, no problems...
I tried to flash TWPR with fastboot but kept getting errors. Booting into recovery got a dead android minion and red triangle with ! I ran this stupid recovery a dozen times and read a dozen threads with no obvious answers.
This guide says "ignore the error" and run fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h811.img which immediately opened TWRP and allowed SuperSU-2.71.zip to be flashed.
The part most guides are missing is the fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h811.img, so my thanks go here. Some other guides are so difficult to read and follow.
Thanks OP !
Yes, MM Android 6.0 went OTA for T-Mobile a month or so ago...
If you are already on Marshmallow, can't you do the 'fastboot oem unluck' with ADB and install SuperSU through the play store to get root? The part for TWRP would only give you the ablity to flash other roms.
Edit: Nevemind I'm wrong. You need TWRP to install SuperSU which roots the phone. SuperSU in the Play Store will only grant root acess to your apps.

I've just got a H811 and it automatically updated to Android 6 when I loaded it up. I will be giving this guide a go this evening. Many of the other links on the web are for lollipop and were released when the phone came out, so I'm thankful that this seems straight forward. http://uslugi.nie-spamuj.eu/rtv,1,0.html Hoping that it goes that way.
How to lock bootloader or hide status: bootloader state: unlocked?
Sr for my English!
So I followed this guide and I appear to be soft bricked at best and hard bricked at worst. I did read the other guide linked in the second response and I found a major difference that might be my problem. So in the guide linked in the second response it doesn't say to even try flashing TWRP from fastboot. It says to just boot from it then install it from within TWRP. I followed the steps verbatim and my phone is currently stuck at the T-Mobile splash screen. Any suggestions? I have tried to boot into recovery by holding down and the power and releasing the power for a second when the logo comes up. I get into the Factory data reset screen and select Yes twice then the green guy shows up and the phone resets but stays at the T-Mobile splash screen. I don't have ADB or fastboot with the phone in this state.
hi Guys,
So i just wanted to make sure and present my ask -
So, currently twrp flashing and obtaining root is still buggy for those who have android 6.0 preinstalled? Is this a correct assumption?
Also, my ask - I dont want root but i would like a custom recovery so that I may flash custom fonts. My work email (Good for Enterprise) is very much needed (although i hate it to the core).
Can someone please answer me / correct if I mentioned something wrong?
Thanks

It's not buggy at all. All the tedium has already been bypassed if you already have Marshmallow installed.
Follow autoprime's original guide, steps 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 under the Bootloader OEM Unlock + Root section. I would recommend a more up-to-date version of TWRP than 2.8.7.1 though. Go to TWRP's download site for the latest version.
P8 Lite, I can boot into Fastboot&Rescue, normal boot gives a black screen after the Huawei logo. Recovery and force download from SD does not work.
I can boot into EMUI recovery by holding Vol Up in Fastboot, which gives me the options of Reboot, Shutdown and "Download new version and recovery" (which fails).
I tried the Unbrick steps from the Mega-Thread, and also flashed the Huawei P8 Lite version of TWRP to recovery - but it still only loads the EMUI Huawei eRecovery. Bootloader is unlocked.
Any ideas on what to do next before my girlfriend is going to kill me?
I tried everything in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/hand-fixing-bootloop-t3464740
to no avail. One thing I noticed is that the link given in the Fastboot menu links to a Chinese (?) website - http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore - I'm not sure if this is indicative of me having a device for the East Asian markets and if there are any software differences?
Sorry for the triple post - now I actually managed to boot into TWRP (the trick is disconnecting the USB cable before booting into recovery), I wiped everything, re-tried the flash all from the Mega thread, and it's still not working - Huawei logo is shown, then black screen/power off(?).

Hi, when you power on your device to boot into EMUI, does it just show the red Huawei logo, or does it also show the boot animation (the same logo dancing and moving on the screen and then becomes static)?

Just the very static image, it doesn't even go into the animation.
Edit: this is a newly bought P8 Lite, the Box says Android 5.0, don't know if relevant?
by now I've wiped stuff with TWRP more times than I can count, and tried manually flashing the boot, recovery, cust and system of b132, b170, b190, and b564 to no avail

Alright, so, since you can get into TWRP, inside TWRP go to Advanced > File manager and get this file: /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and paste it to the internal storage or the sdcard, then via USB paste it to your computer and upload it somewhere, I'd like to check it.

I wish I knew! I tried to root it the same way I rooted my other P8 Lite, which worked fine in the beginning (unlocking bootloader) and ****ed up somewhere between pushing SuperSU to the device and executing it. Then I tried to flash stockrecovery.img back, and suddenly the device was broken. Next thing I did was follow the guide in the Mega Thread (I think resetting to b052) which didn't help either. Then worked my way through the suggestion in the other thread. :silly:
edit: judging by my google history, the problems started when the recovery returned a segmentation fault instead of installing SuperSU as it would've been supposed to.

It is very nice of you to look into this! Worst case scenario, the device was broken from the start and has now lost its warranty (though I booted it up once without problems right in the beginning).
For the main problem - which is my gf - I simply factory reset my own P8 Lite and put the stickers from the new one on it. Now I don't have a phone, but at least I get to keep my relationship
ninja edit: checking my terminal history, I remember trying to fix the not-installing SuperSU by trying fastboot -w and fastboot format cache as recommended elsewhere, but both failed
Playing around with it again, it seems the only fastboot commands working are fastboot flash and fastboot reboot, everything else is giving a "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" error, even for things like getvar
flashing b564 allows me to get into stock recovery, will try dload update now!!
EDIT: IT WORKS!!!
Things I learned from this:
- it is important to flash right update version
- use dload if you can boot into stock recovery
- recovery will only be loaded if not connected via USB, otherwise EMUI crap will launch
- vendors do not always have correct information on device package!!

For unbrick, its easy if your bootloader is unlocked.
Just need time and flash few files by adb (downgrade)and update your device's to the android version you want.
If you want I have all the necessary files.
After your device's is like at his first boot.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum so please forgive if I misplaced this thread
The problem is next:
I want to root my P8 Lite (and convert to dual sim but first things first). I have read some threads here, also that mega-thread, did everything step by step.
First I have requested unlock code from Huawei and successfully unlocked bootloader (fastboot shows it's unlocked and booting in bootloader shows Phone UNLOCKED).
Second, I installed ADB drivers, HiSuite recognizes my phone, adb devices shows it, everything runs smoothly. I downloaded and tried bat file that automatically roots it (the lazy way ) but not success so far. Then I rebooted completely and did everything step by step using cmd.
1. adb reboot bootloader (OK)
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (OK)
3. fastboot reboot (OK)
4. adb push UPDATE_SuperSU-v2.46.zip /su.zip (OK)
5. adb shell /sbin/recovery --update_package=/su.zip (SEGMENTATION FAULT)
I am stuck at step 5, clearly. Also I tried commands one by one:
adb shell
/sbin/recovery
But that returns Permission Denied.
Tried that again through Minimal and ADB Fastboot, through SDK, but no success so far. Thought that Windows 10 may be the problem, but the same was on laptop with Windows 7.
I would appreciate any help here.
I don't know. In my opinion, you can put the SuperSU flashable zip into your phone through USB, and boot into TWRP Recovery, mount /system, then flash it.I'm not sure about it. Maybe it can help.
P.S.: You can see https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...de-to-unlock-bootloader-t3150616/post61708277this post, find the UPDATE-2.

I had some problems installing TWRP and SU after my update to B588.
I used Xepeleato's TWRP edition with the 2 zip SU installation (I have so many files, that I cannot remember where I got them ).
So, flashed TWRP, then connected via usb (if I am not mistaken) and then via adb rebooted into recovery. Then flashed both of the files for the SU.
I will try doing that with install from sd card, from service menu, otherwise I can't install over stock recovery.
Also can't root it. I soft bricked my phone 3 times and then had to flash Cust, Boot and all the other images using a script I found on the Megathread and set it up all over again. I have an unlocked bootloader but can't root it and I am too scared to try again.
That's my problem, first time softbricked it, then I flashed stock recovery and fixed it, bootloader unlocked but can't root.
Just in case you are on B588: I had problem with the official recovery of the build (don't know for sure if it is different from the others) and flashed the one extracted from B584 and then flashed TWRP.
I'm on B585
if I were you, i'd flash twrp, through adb and then boot into recovery through adb also and flash the 2 zip SU files at once. clear cache and dalvik and reboot.

1) let your phone charge - in case you don't have enough battery.
2) Try to download your desired build.
3) download Huawei extractor and with this, extract boot, recovery, cust and system.
4) search a bit on the big thread (root, unbrick convert etc) on how to enter fastboot. I cannot remember the exact steps, but there is a way for sure.
5) initiate adb and flash all the 4 images you extracted.
This is in general what you have to do.
Wishing you good luck!
If I find something more I'll let you know.
PS : when I had mine bricked I entered bootloader by following these steps if I am not mistaken :
Connect phone to pc
Keep Pressing the power button and when the screen turns off, press and hold the volume up (while pressing the power button).
When the phone vibrates, release the power button.
Tried everything, boot, recovery and cust flashed successfully but sytem "cant load system.img" even with using -S 512M or 1G or 256M. I took it for a repair, hope they will sort it out.
The guy from service did not succeed, he told me that he tried everything that I have, and that the phone can't be repaired. But I did.
I downloaded the latest firmware for my country, formatted SD card as FAT32, put it in my phone and rebooted, so folders Android, LOST.DIR and System Volume Information were created. I put the UPDATE.APP in dload folder on my SD card. Then I let phone charge fully until LED indicator was green. Plugged out the charger, and pressed Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. When the phone restarted, on startup vibration I let go power button and kept holding Volume Up and Down for about 3s. Then when I let them, display went completely black and nothing happened. I put the charger but it wasn't charging so I hoped that it started forced upgrade. Left it on the table and about 15min later it vibrated again on restart and - success!! Huawei logo on screen, booting up, EMUI optimizing device. So happy I solved it. Also thanks for answering guys!
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and managed to install TWRP 3.1.0-3 but that's about it. I cannot install any other TWRP version but the one I mentioned. I tried installing Magic Rainbow custom ROM but it doesn't work properly (apps are super slow, entering developer settings makes the settings app crash, can't set a password etc.). So with that I can at least access the phone interface with limited options. Developer settings crashes when I choose it; if I can get through then I can't enable USB debugging, it keeps turning itself off right as I enable it. I can't use update function so I have to use 3 button installation, which randomly fails to work very often. Due to this I haven't been able to install any updates.
I kinda gave up on rooting already, I just want to get my old firmware back at this point but I can't even do that. SRKTools stock marshmallow recovery doesn't work either. It's as if TWRP 3.1.0 has taken over everything. On the rare occasions that I managed to get EMUI update via 3 button installation it would say that the update doesn't match the current version (or something like that). I tried using recover for b378 and managed to run the 3 button update but it always gets stuck at 5%. It gives up after a while, tries booting twice and then goes into eRecovery screen. My bootloader PHONE unlocked text is in red if it matters.
I've been actively trying to fix this for the last 11 hours (yes I'm not exaggerating at all). Please, PLEASE someone help me out with this!
I've also tried using the unbrick tool of the latest SRK Tool 2.0 for b378. It goes flawless, phone restarts and does a factory wipe but then doesn't boot after the Huawei screen. It tries booting twice and then it goes into eRecovery screen. Have I ruined some hardware here?
It seems like 3 button upgrade is my salvation and it doesn't work. Many times I hold it down, I get a slightly different screen but it again hangs at booting text. I managed to flash all recovery, boot and system image files and got the installing update screen in my b378 update, but it hangs at 5%. I couldn't even manage to get the installing update screen for common b136. Also when I try to flash system.img I get an error with flashing system which is FAILED (remote:sparse flash write failure).
First at all: The Magic Rainbow custom ROM is based on B383 so it wont work on B378 firmware thats your fault here.
Just flash the rollback package (find it in my signature) and after this flash B383 or if it not work start with B136. U have to do all with the dload method.
Fast solution?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/p9-moonlight-rom-v1-0-b378-stock-t3567223
flash the B378 version. probably your problem is solved by this.
I'm very well aware that Magic Rainbow doesn't work with b378. That's probably the reason I have those issues with it. But it's the only way I can access the phone's interface in case I need to use it for a fix.
I tried flashing b378 already multiple times, without rollback and it did not work. Is it safe to use the rollback though? My oem is c432, would it create any issues to use that? Should I flash c900 oem first or can I go with the rollback right away? I literally cannot install any stock rom without having frozen/looping bootscreen atm so I can't complete any step that requires me to do that.
I've also tried flashing b136 plenty of times already. I can't even flash the system.img. I can't flash the system of any of the b100 series.

u tried the rom i mentioned?
it is safe to use the rollback package. any firmware after will retrive your oem to c432. so you dont need to flash the oem info package.
1. flash rollback package via dload (watch out to have only the UPDATE.APP file in dload folder)
2. flash B383 via dload (2 files need to be flashed!)
3. flash special SuperSU_for_EMUI5.zip
4. have fun
again if u can boot magic rom then you can flash and use Moonlight rom v1.0

I cannot flash rollback using 3 buttons method. I see the "your device is booting now" text and then it goes to TWRP menu. Nothing happens. This is what I mean with 3 button method not working. Every single update fails probably because of this. Is there anything else I can do to flash it?
I've also tried flashing b378 and then doing the rollback. Still doesn't work: It hangs at 5% as it did with the b378 update.
Also, is there a special way of flashing those 2 files of b383? Is it just one after another? I doubt I can flash them at the same time since they have the same name.
YES IT WORKED! Thank you the rollback actually made the difference. I had to go for b136 and then upgrade manually through there with the stock OS though. And I believe rollback changed the status to LOCKED instead of RELOCKED. And I was a complete moron for I couldn't do 3 button update because my cable was still plugged in. I had a moment of epiphany when I noticed what the symbol actually represents. It was like discovering who Keyser Soze was lol. Let this idiocy stay here for there might be others like me; this way they might fix it without embarrassing themselves like I did.
Glad it worked for you.
Next time just read the threads in this forum.
There are several toturials how to flash the p9 the right way.

Every time I try to flash, with 3 buttons method, it puts me "software install failed"
I tried to flash official rom with twrp but he can't finish the process.
I tried to flash custom rom. When I want to boot, he bootloop.
Hi,
I am at a complete loss and going round in circles. My phone has bootlocker unlocked message at moment. In adb fastboot devices finds the phone, but the SRK tool fails to find it sticking on 'waiting for phone'. I tried to flasg the Huawei rollback but that fails (presumably due to being unlocked). I cannot relock via fastboot as that gives 'remote: command not allowed' error.
Update
- I have just checked fastboot - it says Phone Unlocked & FRP Unlock.
- Next I used Huawei Update Extractor to get boot, recovery, cust & system img from the "HUAWEI_P9_Firmware_EVA-L09_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C432B166_United Kingdom_Channel-Others" Package.
It seems I still cannot boot and device still says unlocked etc..
Update 2 :-
Copied the dload/update.app file from the HUAWEI_P9_Firmware_EVA-L09_Andriod 6.0 zip. Managed to get it to start installing, only to get Software Install Failed msg. However reboot let me start the phone. So currently have Build No: EVA-L09C432B166 on.
At this point I just want my phone either back to initial factory state or able to flash roms, whichever is easier to get to. Any help greatly appreciated. I've been getting nowhere following guides I have found, so would really appreciate some help here.
Thank You

Ok first of all, using TWRP back up everything you have there (backing up SD card isn't really needed unless you plan to wipe it too). Then, using TWRP again just wipe everything but OEM and SD card (external storage). Then, create a folder called "dload" in the main SD card directory and put ONLY the update.app in it (use the stock b136 as suggested). Now you need to flash a stock recovery using bootloader again. Just use the Huawei Update Extractor and get both recovery.img and boot.img from the rom that you're using to flash (in this case b136). Put them in the same folder as adb. Run adb cmd, write commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and then "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and finally "fastboot reboot". Quickly unplug your usb cable and use the 3 button force update (Vol Up+Vol Down+Power button all held together and don't let go until you see the update start). It should work without a problem if you had managed to wipe everything using TWRP. If it still doesn't work you could try deleting OEM info as well and flashing a new one (c432) which you can find on the forums. Back up is important in case it still doesn't work, you might need them to undo things.
If it boots, it means you've learned how to do it and you can probably unbrick it as much as you want haha. You can update to Nougat (7.0) and EMUI 5 using Huawei Updater 2.0 along with HiSuite, there is a guide here on the forums to do so by updating to b182 then to b360/b361>b378>b383 which I was unable to find for now. After that you can install a custom rom without an issue. I figured I wouldn't mess with it anymore but frankly it's likely that you are just soft bricking by skipping something very simple and failing because of that unless you went ahead and did things that you are explicitly told not to do so. If you end up having it unlocked/relocked might as well try and get a custom rom really.
If the update gets stuck at 5% or you have the icon of a usb cable end with a lightning on it your mistake is that you didn't unplug it. If the update keeps failing without these it's likely that you're using the wrong firmware and you could try using another one (FULL+PV+MV ones if you're going for a higher one). Or you could try to follow the rollback and then the update as I did. if you do the rollback then the update, your phone might get a LOCKED status again (yes not relocked).
If you are missing something or you think you have a stupid question and too shy to ask it here just PM me.

So you're saying that you're able to boot your phone on stock b166? Then update it to b182 first. I had to keep pressing the check update for a while before it popped up. I was busy at the time so I didn't mind the wait time but I bet you can do it faster forcefully, got to be a guide around here somewhere. Here is the guide to update it all the way to b383 from b182.

I'm on B166 currently. Phone tells me it has update for B182, on reboot I get the device unlocked message and it sticks on 'Your device is booting now'.
Also tried Huawei updater....that sticks at 'Listened on Port 41279'
Thanks

Getting the device unlocked message shouldn't indicate anything, only that you didn't lock it again. It might be that you didn't install your current rom correctly. You could try flashing TWRP, backing up everything and then wiping all of it f. It means you'll be romless for a while but worst case you can recover what you backed up with TWRP and then flash it with a stock rom again. There are guides to flashing everywhere and I've made my own guide here. I can't really give you advice on your situation since I haven't ever been there. I just dabble with these things, so I can't really find a solution for everything.
You are connected to HiSuite while running Huawei Updater right? It needs to be able to see your phone (usb debugging on or HDB mode) and set to usage via proxy.

Run HiSuite. Make sure your phone is connected to it. Top right you'll see 4 buttons: 3 horizontal stripes, minimise, full screen and X. Press 3 stripes one and choose settings. In the first tab called General under the 4th section you'll see Proxy. Enable it and enter 127.0.0.1 for address and the given listening port as the port. Leave the username and password blank. Press apply. Then you probably have to choose the system upgrade from the main screen of HiSuite. I don't recall exactly but this is about how it goes.

I managed to flash B360_update.zip via recovery instead. I also have a B360_update_data_full_hw_eu.zip but not sure what that is for.
So, I ****ed up.
Earlier this night i hard bricked my device while trying to uninstall Magisk. Used a guide that worked and was back on stock OOS 3.5.0.
In the old Oxygen OS I installed TWRP. But the thing with the recovery was that you needed to boot recovery from the command line with the command
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
. If I booted into recovery in any other way the screen is just black and never boots.
When I tried to install OOS 4.0.1 I got error code 7. Googled it and it just told me to relock the bootloader and install the OTA instead.
I relocked it, and when it was done I got the prompt to fill in the password to start Android. But the thing was I did not use any security options, no fingerprint or pin code. So zero luck there. And now I can't boot into recovery because I didn't flash the stock recovery because I'm a retard, so when I'm trying to boot recovery it's just black. So I have no chance to come back. Please help...
So this is not a hard brick. It's a brick for sure, but a Hard Brick is where you cannot boot up your phone whatsoever.
Now, assuming from the vague details you've provided, you can boot into the normal boot logo screen? You should be able to get into fastboot, but if you can't since you've not mentioned it, there are still ways of getting your device back into OOS.
If you can get your device into Fastboot;
1. Boot into FB
2. Unlock your bootloader
3. Reflash TWRP
4. Boot into TWRP
5. Flash ROM of your choice.
If you can't get into Fastboot;
Use this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306)
OR use this one if you want the updated tools and follow the instructions on the above Thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/ultra-brick-oreo-firmware-ob16-nougat-t3689356)
What you need to know;
Never lock your bootloader when you have a Third Party recovery or ROM installed.
Never interrupt the unbrick process.

Thank you for your reply, I tried to do the method with the MSMDownload thing yesterday, but the computer did not recognize the device. It was late in the night (5am) so I went to bed. This morning I took my other computer and plugged my phone in, it recognized it and I was able to fully recover the phone!

This isn't good idea. As already noted, never relock the bootloader on this device with TWRP, root, etc. It should only be relocked after returning to full stock condition.
Also, never install an incremental OTA when you have TWRP (root, etc.), only the full update zips should be used in that case.
Try to stick to these forums for advice. Maybe the guidance your found above is not specific to this device?
