If you are sure bootloader is unlocked and using Linux OS, run fastboot commands as root/admin (as sudo).

Yes, im sure. On bootloader mode is in red color - Phone unlocked, but i not using Linux, im on Windows 7 and this not help me....

Try fastboot oem unlock - command again.
If still not works, try fastboot erase of that *.img file before flashing that new img file.

the reason for this case, that you should not apply updates while you are rooted.
(assuming that you are in lollipop stock )I suggest you check for the driver .. try to run adb (when your phone is in the active state, not powered off)
now, reboot to bootloader and try any other fastboot commands, like fastboot reboot (just to check that fastboot is responding to the device drivers..)
if it does respond, then I'm afraid you have a serious problem, if it doesn't respond, then you have to deal with the drivers, or you have to double check if your phone is unlocked

erase cache command is blocked by huawei in fastboot irrespective of locked or unlocked state. somewhere i read unlock lost permissions after update. if you have not tried unlock after update try it. driver can also be an issue, install hisuite it comes with drivers.

Try this once,
copy firmware in folder 'dload' in sdcard root.
press vol up + vol down + power for 20 secs then release power but keep pressing vol up and vol down

okay. are you sure the bootloader is unlocked? no harm done. just hold vol down + power up. and you get that green android with white background and the text in RED that says UNLOCKED. if its LOCKED, get the UNLOCK CODE first. just a reminder, you can only fastboot flash those *.imgs if you are UNLOCKED. and there are only some files will be flashed properly (recovery.img, recovery2.img, boot.img, you can try). yes, you can use Huawei Update Extractor to get those files, even in Marshmellow files. but for reviving the phone, use B067 Kitkat or any Kitkat you can get from Huawei Downloads.
1. Get into bootloader mode. I guess you already know how to do that. Plug the phone to wall charger. Yes, leave it charged with white screen showing. Leave it until you finished preparing the PC.
2. Make sure you can use fastboot. You can use Minimal ADB and Fastboot.exe found somewhere in XDA. And make sure that it can detect the phone when you write fastboot devices. It will show up if set up properly.
3. Huawei Update Extractor + Any Kitkat firmware. Extract everything. Note the tags beside each .img inside that Update Extractor. Youre gonna need those tags in order to flash properly.
4. Copy all those *.imgs that extracted into Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Check program files (x86).
5. Now ready the pc by launching that minimal adb and fastboot.exe as admin. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
6. fastboot devices. pull the phone from wall charger. plug it to pc. listen to usb connecting sound and driver installation. hit enter and the device should show up.
7. This is where its getting interesting. remember the tags? use that tags like this.
RECOVERY.img = fastboot flash RECOVERY RECOVERY.img
BOOT.img = fastboot flash BOOT BOOT.img
CHECK THE TAGS BEFORE FLASHING!!! and yes, just 5 or less files will be flashed successfully. Ignore it. fastboot reboot it. Yes, its stuck, plug it to the wall again while we prepare the microsd.
8. update.app file. Put that update.app file inside /microsd/dload/update.app folder. Put the microsd inside the phone. Yes, its stuck.
9. Now do the force update. when you see the emui logo, immediately plug it back to wall charger. wait until 100% and it rebooted itself, and you can see the language selection screen again.
DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK. Ive already done it, I hope it worked for you too.

First...many thanks for your interest!
Look, about bootloader, on boot mode is in red PHONE UNLOCKED, i try this command in fastboot:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) unlocked
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s

(bootloader) FB LockState: LOCKED
(bootloader) USER LockState: UNLOCKED
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: -0.000s
so what is FB Lockstate??Is my bootloader unlocked or locked??
Here is another command which i try....
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot -w
wiping userdata...
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
Can't determine partition type.
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
erasing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.000s
Cant derermine partition type - is this problem?
I also try this....

It seems that fastboot write recovery (with your help i need use admin rights now this work) but i still cant boot to recovery no matter how...
I can also flash and backup boot and recovery via Flashify or Rashr and when i open backup with HEX editor it seems that i succesfully upload TWRP but still cannot acess TWRP recovery....
This is all what i try in this time, of course i read your help words about Huawei extractor etc. but not try at this time, i hope i explain more detailed my problem. Look im not a newbie, i allready flash etc. my Lenovo and P9 lite what i have here but not understand where can be problem in this Honor 4x, it seems like corrupted recovery partition or can be problem in read only/write partition - i play with this option before....
anyway - run as admin - this help me a lot i think, THX and wait your answer.
EDIT: one thing, you think that when i try flash stock recovery (i can, no problem of course) it will be work?
Update: Big success, i just try flash stock recovery B064b and now im in stock recovery menu, im surprised but what now? I want update to Marshmallow 6.0....?
But in stock recovery is: phone and the data cannot be recovered. Continue?
Oh sorry, this is about "not sd card inserted" problem
What will now progress? I have inside B130 firmware and want Marshmallow, also TWRP recovery must i flash now especially for B130 firmware for work?
Update: Yes, all working now, factory reset, recovery etc. you help me a lot, only if you can tell me what number of firmware must i upload for Marshmallow, thx
Last update: So finally, coz im too hurry and dont want wait for your answer :angel:, i just upload from local update first Android 5.1.1. after this 6.0 and all is perfect and working!
My big thanks and kisses goes to you zzztidurvirus, im lucky and still cant beleive that all works, again thx!!

I did once on Win to revert back to Stock from CM12.1 by using img from update.app file. For my case, it's the MM update.app not working, I couldn't flash img files into phone, then I tried to flash files from LP, it worked. I boot into LP ROM and update from there to MM.

Hey hey people.
I was trying to upgrade my friend's Honor X4 Che2-L11 variant to 6.0 age from it's lollipop and ****ed up - big time. It seems to have a recovery, and it bootloops. I can't get it to install any update.app though, it either errors or gets stuck/crashes at 5%.
Now I am trying to flash a individual stock recovery with fastboot. Like the guide by zzztidurvirus there, but whenever I try to issue flash command this is what I get:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'RECOVERY' (9304 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.258s]
writing 'RECOVERY'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.261s
- so basically any flash command sends OKAY, Writing Fails with Command not allowed. Bootloader is unlocked, "PHONE unlocked" on screen and same status messages from fastboot as Lulu up there when making queries.
What gives, what could I try still?

Sadly not, as I tried both running ADB fastboot as admin from administrator command line and I tried three different recovery images from huawei, 6.0 (because the flash went bad during attempt to flash a 4.1EMUI with 6.0 B506 ROM for CHE2-L11) - And it keeps denying the write attempt with the same message. More info on the flash: I tried to TWRP flash from 5.1 rom to the EMUI4.1 6.0 ROM following guide someone made with updateappflasher.zip or something, during the flash the phone just crashed 60% in the bar and after that the phone is boot looping into recovery but it can't do anything. Like said any attempt to flash a stock rom even if a recovery seems to exist when booting VOL+ & POWER at the same time, but it will fail if attempting to do wipe data/factory reset in 40% mark. Forced updater can also be accessed but again, thanks to the firmware situation the phone is in it does not flash anything beyond 5% without crashing and being stuck or just giving an error message outright.
Only thing I might have not have is the right kind of ADB drivers but googling about CHE2-L11 I really cannot find a ADB drivers for this phone for life of me and dealing with windows 10 these days makes it worse. At least it used to be that I was with windows 7, back when I myself unlocked the bootloader of the phone and rooted it myself, I have some memory of that being harsh to deal with too, as I had hard time getting drivers that worked right with the phone etc.
I will check into this... At this point my friend bought a new phone already but I still will try to fix the phone for him since I feel personally pretty bad for pretty big mess I made.
I will also try this with a windows XP machine I have still, it is meant entirely for different things but at times like these it is somewhat nice to have a XP around. At least the darn driver problems are not a problem.
UPDATES:
I unbricked the phone. The stock recovery was intact enough for just a normal dload install of a update.app from huawei - why it did not initially work was probably the USB connection to computer and/or 64gig microSD card my friend had, not being compatible with Huawei's recovery updater. I myself had a 8gig card around which worked and I restored the phone ultimately to a 6.0 official ROM. I also went ahead to root it - and final find really was that the reason why recovery etc. would not flash, was because I wrote "fastboot flash RECOVERY twrp.img" - instead of "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - the latter works, and the all caps for "RECOVERY" results in illegal command error - and it was no bigger than that.
Meanwhile even after sorting this all out my friend already ended up buying a new phone so it hurts but I hope some other people find some info here useful.

P8 lite 2017 stuck in boot screen

My phone is stuck in boot screen since last night. Powering it off it just boot and stuck again. I've never modded the phone. It's stock with 2 months of life. I can access EMUI recovey menu to wipe cache or factory reset and connecting it to a pc and pressing volumkey down+bootkey It enter in FASTBOOT&RESCUE mode.
Is there something I can do to access phone memory? I really need to save some files.
I thought I could use adb to pull the files I need but I suppose I've usb debug disabled so the device is not recognized. It's recognized by fastboot.

Try to extract the following partitions: boot, recovery, cust & system with Huawei Updater Extractor and flash them manually by.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Of course you need to download the right firmware for your variant.

I guess you can flash stock images even if your bootloader is locked.
about firmware variant: something like pra-lx1c432b115
try to reflash stock boot.img only if fastboot is recognized, I've the phone about 2 week and no issues for now.

Is there any way I can access files on my phone? I really need some recordings
I dont understand why the phone is not seen as adb device. I think usb debug is enabled because I used hisuite some days ago and I think that software needs it enabled

My phone is also stuck at the boot screen, I guess I have the same issue. My phone is also about 2 months old, not rooted, not unlocked, original software. I cannot boot into recovery mode, I can only boot into fastboot&rescue mode while holding the power button and volume down button when attach to the computer by a USB cable. The screen on my phone says the following:
-------
FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE
Please Connect Usb Cable to
Your Computer and Open Hisuite
Android reboot reason:
AP_S_ABNORMAL
NA
volumekey_down_press_process_func
[android logo]
PHONE Locked

I tried to flash boot.img and recovery.img (extracted from an update.app through HuaweiUpdateExtractor) but I get the following message in Minimal ADB and Fastboot:

I assume that I'm not able to flash anything because my phone is locked and USB-debugging is not enabled on the phone through settings (and I cannot get there since the phone doesn't boot into Android). When I connect my phone to the PC the Hisuite does open automatically but it doesn't show any phone, nor cannot recover it through that software.
If only I could flash anything on the phone, that would be a step forward in reviving this phone. Does anyone have ideas?

I guess you mean unlock bootloader? I emailed Huawei with the question if I could get Unlock Bootloader code. To get that I need the phone's serial number, IMEI number and product ID. The first two I have, the product ID I can't get, because I cannot boot into Android and dial *#*#1357946#*#*. I read somewhere that there is an algorithm to figure out the product ID, there's even an Huawei Product ID Generator.exe, but the P8 lite 2017 isn't supported. If I know the product ID I can get the Unlock Bootloader code, unlock the bootloader and hopefully flash a new recovery and boot and rom.

i have the same issue. how did you fix yours?

Is your bootloader unlocked if yes give a try with above method.
If no go to the nearest service center as it is happening to many devices.

yes i unlock my bootloader

I am having the same problem I can't flash anything using the ADB & Fastboot and my device is stuck at loading. Can't even access the TWRP =/

Hi, i have the same issue : phone stuck on Huawei Logo, original firmware, bootloader locked.
I cannot unlock bootloader since Huawei unlock plugin has closed.
I can only access fastboot mode but flashing commands seems to be "not allowed".
How did you managed to solve this ?

Question about

Hi everybody, I have a little question regarding my P10.
The model of my phone is VTR-L09C521B101
Is there a way to flash this phone with VTR-L09C432 version?
or i need to flash with same model version (VTR-L09C521)?
Thnks

Yes, it is possible to 'rebrand'. The procedure is explained in the Mate 9 forum. It is not so easy and involves unlocking the bootloader.
Updating can be done with the Firmware Finder (Playstore).

thanks for the answer!!
regarding bootloader, the phone shows this:
PHONE RELOCKED
FRP LOCK
ADB shows me that the phone is unlocked, the problem is when I try to send something to phone it shows:
Error Remote command not allowed.
any ideas?
thanks!

I've tried to reword the mate 9 instructions for the p10 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/rebrand-firmware-finder-t3685951
As for adb, what command are you trying? Do you see your phone if you type ADB Devices?

Quintman, no the phone is not listed with adb devices command. I can only enter with fastboot.
Let me paste the commands that I have tried:
C:\adb>fastboot devices
WPG7N17320000978 fastboot
C:\adb>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) unlocked
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 0.001s
C:\adb>fastbot oem lock <my_unlock_code>
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.016s
C:\adb>fastboot oem unlock <my_unlock_code>
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.016s
C:\adb>fastboot oem relock <my_unlock_code>
...
FAILED (remote: stat not match)
finished. total time: 0.016s
The Strange thing is that in the phone shows PHONE RELOCKED, not unlocked as ADB shows.
Since I uploaded boot img of another version (C432) full OTA, could this be the problem? in this case what can I do?
thanks for your help!!

Could this be happening because of FRP Lock?, none of the software I have tried (DC-phoenix, chimera and Unlocker v2) worked. Im this close to throw this f*ckin phone to trash u.u

edit: just found this in another thread "FRP Lock occurs when the phone has a firmware mismatch and or oem unlocking is not on in developer options"
Hmm, i've just checked my phone and in fastboot it says PHONE Locked, and FRP Unlock. I think that may be your issue. What exactly did you do to flash your phone with the other version? put an UPDATE.APP into a \Dload folder and 3 button update?
is your phone booting (guessing not). my guess is that you need to get a hold of your stock firmware file an flash that first.

Ok, this is what I've done step by step:
1.- With the unlock code provided by huawei, I have unlocked my phone (my version is VTR-L09C521B101 stock)
2.- Once unlocked, I have downloaded another ROM version (VTR-L29C605B151) in the web page says this rom is for latin america), so with the Huawei Update Extractor, I have extracted all files.
3.- Via ADB/FASTBOOT, I sent the files to my phone, boot.img first and then the others. (big big mistake!)
4.- Rebooted the phone, and then keeps restarting at huawei logo.
5.- Seeing that it did´t worked, what I did was to lock the phone again thinking to send it to Huawei (at this point the phone shows as "unlocked" via fastboot commands, however when I start the phone in fastboot mode, in the screen shows "PHONE RELOCKED, FRP LOCK"
6.- Sent to huawei's service, they said that they cannot fix my phone because it was tampered/rooted.
7.- Right now all I need to fix my phone is to LOCK/UNLOCK again in order to rebrand it to L29 version, since the original stock rom dont exist (not as FULL OTA).
And that´s what I did so far my friend.
Questions:
1.- Is there a way to connect to my phone and change the oem info file? or something?
2.- Do I need to wait the stock rom to be released in order to reflash via Dload method?
3.- What if the stock ROM version of my phone is never released?
thank you for your answer my friend!!

Hmm ok. I am just not sure on your step 3, I've never heard of a method that involves a boot.img... what I would suggest, is to try and download the stock firmware files (need the larger full ota files), extract the update.app file and put on sd card in \dload.
Then hold down both volume up and down and power (3 button method)
It will try and flash the stock image back to the phone.

I just tried the Dload method and nothing happened (always stuck in 5%), now im going to try to use a smaller memory card (mine is 64 Gb). lood

Data recover from a dead ALE-L21 P8Lite

Hello guys. Thanks for tacking a look at this thread.
I have a P8Lite ALE-L21 that some time ago I seat my ass on it and screen broke and even bend a bit the frame. I have lots of pictures from a trip that I´m desperate thinking that maybe I will lose them.
First of all I brought a new frame with new screen. Replace the good looking board to new frame. Tried to turn on the phone and starts to loop trying to boot but never boots. I have read that this is an usual issue with this phones.
Now I´m stuck at the fastboot & rescue mode not knowing what to do next.
Is it possible to restore the phone to factory settings and after that try to recover the pictures? If it´s possible to restore it can someone give me some instruction on how to do it?
I will apriciate all the help from you guys.
Thanks

Hmm, if you have twrp dirty flash personas mod. If you don't, try t flash twrp, and after flash the mod. That won't delete your files, only make your phone to boot. Hopefully you had Android 6 already.

flash twrp, if your internal storage isnt encrypted then put a microsd card into your phone and copy your data.

In the fastboot & rescue mode it the bottom it says in green "PHONE Locked". This might be a problem to flash ?
I run adb and my device is detected if I use "fastboot devices". When I try to run "fastboot flash recovery" it gives me the message below;

FRP locked and wiped data HELP!

Hi, I'm about hours to jump from my window.
I wanted to flash EMUI 9 official C432 firmware, but I did it with HuRU so the compilation number was bad. I tried again with the official EMUI 9 beta update "The TOOL", but at some point TWRP lost conection with my PC, so as a dumb guy, I reseted the Developer Options, and the "Unlock OEM" option was greyed out and couldn't enable it.
So I rebooted to TWRP and made a Factory wipe, but I kept having problems with my pc detecting my phone. (I tried changing usb cable and port, reinstalling drivers, erasing all USB devices, etc). So I dont know why I did a Wipe Data partition, but it took so long that I turned off my phone.
So now, here is my problem/s:
>Bootloader unlocked/FRP Locked
>Constant Bootloop, nor OS or recovery works
>As I wiped Data partition, OS and TWRP or any recovery is not available (maybe?)
>As I have FRP Locked, I can't install any recovery nor .img (when I try to flash anything it says: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
>Also I installed Magisk, so when I run command to LOCK bootloader, it says that there is root: "FAILED (remote: root type is risk)"
fastboot data, maybe could help:

Only thing is to change motherboard..
You should go to huawei service.

If i were you i would try to find a way to downgrade to oreo using usb-otg method before going to hw service.
Many people report "activate oem unlock" being greyed out. I've noticed that too when i was on 9.0.163 and wiped my phone (it was active before factory reset) . It looks like this setting is simply inactive in pie. Downgrade to oreo is the only solution.

it is impossible to install anything - any firmware..

1. Have you ever tried installation with sd card (usb otg)?
2. Another thing is trying to contact funky huawei. People with similar problems got their devices fixed without having to switch mainboard.

No, I havn't. Do I need to use a flash drive and connect it with an otg cable?
Yes I could contact FH but I don't have access even to recovery nor erecovery.
Also, If I choose to fix it with Huawei Service I can't because in my country there is not service for P20 PRO. So i'm dead.

1) yes indeed. I use micro sd card and usb adapter for that purpose.
2) it's worth to ask anyway.

So I'll buy and OTG-USB cable so I can use this.
I recently requested for an FRP Unlock Code with this program: Huawe FRP Tool, and used it, but now phone keeps rebooting trying to get into recovery and doesn't even get into fastboot mode. I think this is the end.

Trying to do everything fast I f*ked up. Anyway, I think I learned the lesson not to go that far and settle a little bit. Anyway, don't use FRP Unlock tool, at least if you are bricked.
I think the last solution is to switch mainboard, but anyway I can't get it in my country, so Idk

i also have this problem, have send it to service centre here in The Netherlands.
They could repair it, with replacing the motherboard for 450 euro.
I let them send it back unrepaired.

Hello.
Registered to report a successful repair after a manual firmware upgrade to EMUI 9.
After the update, I made a reset and got a brick.
Bootloader and FRP after updating blocked. He reset the phone, got a brick.
In funkyhuawei [x] club, he paid $ 18.00 USD to restore the brick using the eRecovery method. This method did not work. I made a request for a refund, they did NOT return the money. I do not recommend to contact this organization.
The problem was solved by the official corporate service center of Huawei in Moscow. They restored the firmware in my device. Service cost $ 12USD.
took 1 hour of time.
There is no need to change the motherboard.
Thanks to all.
