Hello all,
I've rooted my P8Lite L21 using the custom recovery method, flashed the supersu.zip, then restored the original recovery.
Yesterday I had an OTA and now phone reboot once during system boot, and at the second time it hangs during boot.
What can I do to recover this? I have stock recovery, and when I try to VOLDOWN+POWER it never goes to fastboot. (last time I had to use adb reboot-bootloader but now I can't reach system\adb..)
Can you help?
Thanks, cheers,

Hello,
You can boot to fastboot with this method:
Connect phone with PC then power off
Now push two buttons VOLDOWN+POWER+MicroUSB now you can install any stock ROM with fastboot commands and suitable *.img(boot.img, cust.img, system.img)
P.S
What OTA(number) arrive to you?

Worked like a charm Thanks a lot! I don't know the OTA number.. Still can't get into system :|
I'll try flashing TWRP from here and then i don't know which rom to use.. I'd like CM12 but i'm not sure its supported.
Can you suggest any stable ROM ?
Thanks

It's Portuguese\Europe, Single SIM.
I'm downloading "Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 V100R001C432B171 (Europe)". Is this flashable from fastboot? Yes, i'm unlocked. Does it need the hiSuite or fastboot.exe will suffice?
Thanks Sokkoban, you're being of great help and I'm thanking all your posts

Wait my friend this is single sim ROM
I must download dual sim if you have dual sim device
Yes I'm not shure but if you want install B170 you need first downgrade to B052 then you can install via OTA best and last ROM for you country

Yes, I know this is single SIM. But, why do you say that I need to downgrade to B052 and then OTA? Can't i flash the B170 directly?
The other question i had is, how to flash this. Hisuite or fastboot.exe?
Thanks

Because after downgrade you can install any firmware via OTA! (ROM B052 is from the box!)

If you don't see any problem, I will try to flash B170 directly, since my bootloader is already unlocked. What do you think?
About the link you sent, the site appears in English, but then it changes to russian? I cannot get it back to EN.

OK
Try this. Use Huawei update extractor in forum xda have link to it. Open the UPDATE.APP and extract the following files: Recovery.img, Boot.img, Cust.img, System.img
Then use fastboot commands to flash B171 ROM
I wish you success!

Hi there,
I have a similar problem: bootloop!
I'm comming from B170 and installed 7 HD 1.2 ROM and got some errors, I thougt it would be an good to go the long way to B008 or better B010. After so searching I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64483642&postcount=43
- did not step 1 an under-pressed flashing recovery in step 2 and 3, thought I could yet use TWRP.
Obviously, that was the mistake.
At step 4 I recognized that I have to do step 1 to go on.
that worked an I copied the update.zip to internal card, initialised the update.
Not sure it got to 100% but think so.
Result bootloop, can't get to recovery, only fastboot
Tried to flash every thing: B052, B170, and 136a, even the boot.img and recovery.img of B010 and B008
no errors but still bootloop.
PLEASE HELP!!
is there a full version of B080 somewhere to flash by fastboot? or any options to flash the update.zip of B080 again?
All other proposals are welcome!

First 7 HD 1.2 ROM work only over the B010!!!
Second in this archive have the instructions to install Beta B008 why you not did everything described in the instructions?
Third when install stock firmware RECOVERY must be original not TWRP!!!
Now you must install stok recovery, make hard reset then install B052
After that you can install every stock firmware for your region! or follow the instruction to install B008=>B010=>7 HD 1.2 ROM

Hm, this is very strange!
What device do you have? and which region use?
adb reboot recovery --- says: error: device '(null)' not found
if I try with serialnumber
adb -s W3D7XXXXXXXX reboot recovery ---- says error: device 'W3D7XXXXXXXX' not found
but ---- fastboot devices ----says at the same time: W3D7XXXXXXXX

So B170 worked in the first place
Try this method and ROM
May be you must use google translator because tutorial is for Bulgarian people

Hi, i have a big problem: my phone isn't starting up anymore. Yesterday i upgraded to Nougat, and all was fine. Then i decided to install Revolution ROM, so i flashed twrp for 7.0 and then flashed the ROM. Phone started up correctly but then i decided to wipe data so i can have a "clean" installation. So i rebooted into twrp and formatted data. After this, phone get into bootloop. Just after that, i couldn't boot into twrp, and when i tried to boot in, it stuck in the yellow text "Your phone is booting up...". Then i downloaded b160, extracted it with Huawei Update Extractor and flashed all(system, boot, cust and recovery). This didn't work, i was stuck in the 3 choices menu with text "Your phone is booting up...", can't even see Huawei's logo. 1 hour ago i installed from sd (3 buttons way) b160, installation successful and now i can see Huawei's logo, but after that black screen . I tried to reboot into bootloader but i don't see anymore yellow "unlocked phone" text. I can just boot into eRecovery. Right now i'm trying to download b100 and trying to see if i can fix it by myself :fingers-crossed:. If u can, please help me, i really need help to get this phone working again.
(Sorry for my bad english )
Edit: i posted in wrong section, sorry xD
Edit 2: i finally boot into bootloader, but "PHONE Locked" . How can i unlock bootloader again? I don't have that code anymore and i can't boot into system..

Download stock firmware and flash it via dload method.
i dont know exactly how to do it. Do i just create dload folder on sd card, put the rom in it, then turn off the device, pres volume + and - and power button? or do i have to do even something else?
And where can i download Stock ROM? I downloaded some but i dont know if it is legit, official ROM

Only firmware which will flash via dload..should be same number or higher number...
For example if you were on b340 you can only flash b340 or higher number like b341 or 350
You cannot flash 330 without rollback pkg

Hi guys.
I'm having problem with flashing nougat on my NEM-L21C432B132. I'm on 6.0 at the moment and I used both dload folder on sdcard method and Firmware Finder. Tried different versions and I keep getting warning saying "incompatibility with current version". How do I solve this ?
I have no root, stock recovery, unlocked bootloader. I thought it could be because of unlocked BL, but I cannot seem to lock it as "fastboot oem lock" doesn't work for me.

Hello,
I have extracted the update.app from the 6.0 version, flashed boot.img and recovery.img through fastboot, and my phone found the update even without using the Firmware Finder..strange but I have downloaded it and flashed without problems. My bootloader didn't even lock after flashing which happens from what I've read. Anyway I'm on the newest firmware ATM and also it's rooted. Maybe someone can explain that in case anyone had a similar problem in the future ?

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Huawei P8 Lite 2017.
Yesterday I forced an update with 'Huawei Firmware Updater' app from Android: I had PRA-LX1C432B170 and B172 was installed.
At the beginning it said 'Your Device has failed verification and may not work properly', but it booted after manually pressing the Power Button.
Than, trying to fix this, I messed everything up and now the phone won't boot!
Can you please help me?
I have Unlocked Bootloader, FRP Unlocked and can easily access stock recovery and fastboot and flash everything, but nothing seems to work: I tried the 'Unbrick' function from 'Huawei Multi-Tool', but the file I flashed didn't work at all... even factory reset stucks at 99%!
Can I ask you what to do?
It's impossible to find anything for Dual SIM Unbranded phones, like mine! I just can't find the original update.zip of PRA-LX1C432B170 version.
I just want to make it work again!
Thanks for your support, and Happy New Year to you all!

You can use Firmware finder app on play store to get the ROM...then use Huawei update extractor to extract the system.img ,boot.img from update.app and flash them via fastboot commands and then do a factory reset.

Thanks for the reply!
I tried with the Windows version of Firmware Finder, but the version I'm trying to find (B170) is unavailable.
What can I do if I can't find that specific version? I have no ideas.

You can try system.img and boot.img from any build...but they have to be a full update not OTA updates

Flashed system.img and boot.img in this order, but it stucks on the page of unlocked phone (Booting Phone Now...), so I booted recovery and then I did a factory reset. Nothing happens but the Huawei logo showing up for a few seconds, then it reboots.

In this case I think you damaged the Vendor partition during the force update...you can't flash (product.img, version.img,cust.img and vendor.img) via fastboot commands...you either try to use dd commands to flash them...and it's a little bit risky or you find a TWRP backup from your build...or you can use DC Phoenix tool to unbrick your device

Thanks for the useful tips!
I don't know what product.img, version.img or cust.img are used for, but cust.img can be sent through fastboot (I think so because Multi-Tool let me choose it for fastboot flash in the 'Unbrick' section).
What I'm trying to do now is to download the same version I had before (B172 FULL-OTA MF) and I try to send it via fastboot.
Any other Ideas?
Can I Install TWRP and a Custom ROM or TWRP + Original ROM?
You can try to use TWRP and a custom ROM...but as far as I know all the custom ROMs for this device have bugs...but you are free to try them

Can try this 3 methods...
- Flash via fastboot the stock recovery, boot and system from b182, factory reset in stock recovery and try to boot.
- Install twrp in recovery2 (eRecovery), search for the b182 backup and follow the steps to restore it.
- Pay to use Dc-Phoenix (near 15€) and flash with their app a full stock rom (the app help you to download a full rom)
Good luck!

Hi All!
Thanks for your tips.
I've followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...uide-unbrick-huawei-p8-lite-2017-pra-t3713574
and now the phone boot and works, but I have some problems:
1. Firmware says P9 Lite 2017 (but it's correctly a PRA-LX1 firmware)
2. Patches are from June and I can't find any firmware update... I think I have an hybrid firmware, because I have both IMEIs but something (like Google Patches) are related to the firmware of the guide I followed.
I have one question to ask: I have an unlocked bootloader and I don't want to see the message at Phone Power-On, but if I Re-Lock the phone won't boot: I had to unlock the bootloader to make it working. What can I do?
Is it possible to find an official B182 firmware and flash it into my Phone? It maybe the best/clean solution for my phone.

You can download the full backup of b182 from this forum and try to restore with twrp or extract the boot, recovery and system imgs and try to flash with adb, sorry im not english and not understand all words.

Your English is very good and the link is very useful!
Thanks, this is what I was looking for!
The idea to extract the boot, recovery and system imgs is intelligent, but the ROM of that Link seems to be rooted, so maybe it won't work at all.
I'll give it a try and I'll report back if it works or not.
Thanks for the tips

If you can flash twrp in recovery2 you can restore the full backup following the steps in the another thread, if not, find another b182 backup no-rooted and try, but i think the restore method is the best option, good luck!

Hi @dannyzamora
Restore of my phone worked and now I have a full stock phone!
I wrote a guide in the other thread to help other people who have similar problems to try to fix their phone.
Your suggestion was very helpful and now I can use my phone as it was before (apart from a bug, the only one, related to MagazineUnlock that is not working at all... nothing that compromise the use of the phone, obviously).
Thanks
