As you can see in the title, i decided to write a small fastboot tut, especially for our p880 and its "own" commands and tricks
I am, as always, not responsible for what you do with your device. Do it on your own risk.
I will however not explain on how to set up fastboot on your PC. There are tons of tuts out there on xda, just search for it
NOTICE: You need an unlocked bootloader for this
Screenshots will be added later, 'cause my lappy is compiling right now and i thought i could use the time to write this so just wait a bit
Now, lets begin with the fun, shall we?
General
Fastboot is usually quite easy to use. But if you went searching for a tut on the web, you might have noticed that it doesn't work the way it should on your device.
That's because LG messed something up in the bootloader, but let's don't worry about that now, it does work nontheless
Fastboot is "a part" of the bootloader. This means, neither the kernel (boot), nor the recovery gets booted.
That gives you the ability to flash, but also boot kernels/recoveries. And yes, i meant booting, without really flashing it
Now we need to get into fastboot mode:
And this is (one of) the point(s) where LG messed up. The usual command is "adb reboot bootloader". But this command does not work on your device the way it should.
It gets you into a kind of fastboot mode, but you can't flash anything, because it says the bootloader would be locked, even tho it isn't.
The working command is
Code:
adb reboot oem-unlock
i guess this command sounds familliar, doesn't it? and don't worry, it will not lead you to a menu that deletes your data.
It will lead you to the working fastboot mode
now we're in the working fastboot mode. To check if you've set up fastboot correctly, type
Code:
fastboot devices
this should list your phone and its serial number.
It is recognized? good. so now we might want to check the status of our device (BL unlock state, serial number,...).
Therefore type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
now you can check whether it's really unlocked or not.
If everything's fine, you might want to...
Flash something
In order to flash something, you need the appropriate image. For kernels it's mostly "boot.img"
The command to flash something via fastboot is in general
Code:
fastboot flash <partition> <filename>
Example: You want to flash a kernel (named test_boot.img) and you have downloaded the kernel to the folder where your fastboot.exe is.
So you type
Code:
fastboot flash boot test_boot.img
This will copy the kernel to your device and then flash it to the LNX (boot) partition.
Of course you can flash other partitions, too, like system, data, cache, recovery...
After a flash, it is wise to clear the cache, or even your /data partition...
Deleting a partition
You don't need a recovery to wipe a partition, just use fastboot
The general command is
Code:
fastboot erase <partition>
For our example it's enough to wipe the cache. You can do this using this command:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Also here you can wipe all partitions, like system, data, cache, boot, recovery...
So now we've flashed what we wanted to, wiped the needed partitions, but how do i..
Get out of fastboot
This is as easy as getting in just type
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot the device (Here's another thing, where LG messed up.... it reboots, but stays at the LG spash screen.
So press the power button for at least 10 secs. Now your device will reboot into recovery (!?)
then just tap reboot system now and be happy )
or
Code:
fastboot continue
this one will not reboot the device, but continue the boot procedure. I, for one, would suggest you to use the first command
now your device will boot up normally (except your kernel/system.... has a bug of course )
for more help, just type
Code:
fastboot help
and the last point is...
Bricking the device
nah, just kidding
Reserved
Thanks for this usefull post!
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
thanks, it's very useful for me.:good:
Thanks,
it's so easy
fastboot boot <kernel> <ramdisk> -c "androidboot.mode=normal"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
<kernel> is the kernel zImage
<ramdisk> can be a .img, .cpio, .cpio.gz
-c "androidboot.mode=normal” is needed the get the kernel booted for the p880 with the correct commandline
Gesendet von meinem LG-P880 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
So, to get into fastboot mode, I have to turn on my phone, plug it to my computer and in cmd I type adb reboot oem-unlock, right? Is there any possibility to access it in case of a bootloop or something?
boot into recovery system by holding power+vol-down till it vibrates, then use either adb to issue the command or when using twrp as recovery system: Reboot --> Fastboot
Gesendet von meinem LG-P880 mit Tapatalk 4 Beta
A little update from LG...
I wrote them that they have messed up our bootloader, and told them the bugs/problems/... well, see yourself:
1) "adb reboot bootloader" doesn't bring me into bootloader. Well it does, but even though i have unlocked the bootloader, it still says it would be locked.
instead i need to use "adb reboot oem-unlock" to get into bootloader.
- P880 does not support "adb reboot bootloader" to go into bootloader. P880 only works "adb reboot oem-unlock" instead of "adb reboot bootloader" to go into bootloader. and then you can use the fastboot command mode after accept unlock bootloader.
2) "fastboot reboot" partly reboots the device, but then it keeps stuck at the first LG splash screen. pressing power button for 10 seconds brings me into recovery then, instead of into the ROM.
- P880 supports "fastboot reboot", before flashing the customize image, "fastboot reboot" reboot normally.
3) "fastboot flash system [path/to/system.img]" gives me "fatal error: unknown partition"
- P880 can only flash boot, recovery. Ex> fastboot flash boot/recovery boot.img/recovery.img
4) "fastboot boot [...]" doesn't work at all.
- P880 does not support "fastboot boot [...]" command
- P880 supports only flash, erase, reboot as you already seen in bootloader unlock warning message.
5) I have found no way to boot into fastboot/bootloader without a booting phone. Maybe you could try to add the possibility to boot directly into fastboot.
- You can only go into fastboot mode using "adb reboot oem-unlock"

lg is retarded, but hey atleast they had the decency to answer
Yeh, you need to kdz flash if you mess up both system and recovery.
Keep an suid busybox in /data so you can root and re-flash CWM/TWRP in the backup+restore mode without having to clear data so the stock ROM can boot.
Can't seem to get his wokring properly, think it's the drivers.
I connect my phone to the pc, run cmd and I reboot it to to the bootloader. From there, I can't do anything. I i Write "fastboot devices" I get nothing, can't flash anything either. Have tried the official drivers from lg, but it doesn't work.
That's the same way of using fastboot like it is on Sony devices, you should mention it so more people would use this guide.
The only difference is that on sony devices if you want to unlock your bootloader you need to get the key from this site and then fastboot 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
hi dudes , if phone (4x hd) is in s/w update mode , can I use fastboot command?
ppl, i beg for help:
when I use adb reboot oem-unlock or adb reboot bootloader, my phone only resets itself and boots back into normal working mode. I've tried to boot it into bootloader with holding volume up and power button and it boots into some kind of mode wheres only picture with symbols of mobile with symbols of data cable and power cable being plugged into phone with red symbol over cables that they shouldn't be unplugged. I've also tried eboot oem-unlock and reboot bootloader commands in that mode and it only resets the phone back into normal working mode while command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img only gave me "waiting for the device" and nothing happening...
also I've entered into hidden menu with 3845#*880# command bit there's no "BL status" or "Bootloader Unlock Check" or anything that has any connection to Bootloader

Only "boot" and "recovery" are supported for fastboot flash command. Boot is the kernel and takes boot.img. Unfortunately, "system" is not supported, otherwise developing on this phone would have been similar to Nexus devices.
THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK! If it does not work, feel free to let me know here and i will do what i can to help, but remember I probably can't help everyone.
IMPORTANT: ON XDA-LABS APP THIS POST IS KINDA BROKEN IDK WHY SO LOAD IT IN BROWSER!!!!
If the guide worked for you, please hit thanks button! If you are generous and want to donate pm me
What this can fix:
When booting, you get this error:
Func NO : 10 (boot image)
Error NO : 2 (load image)
When booting to recovery, you get this error:
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load image)
Bootloops
Can't boot into fastboot
Can't boot into recovery for other reasons
Can't boot to system for other reasons
ETC...
First thing first, there really isnt a way to keep your data so expect it all to be gone, unless it is saved on an external sd card. Also, this guide is specifically for the PRA-LX1 model, however it might work with other p8 lite 2017 models and a similar method may work with other huawei phones.
Requirements:
The device boots in to fastboot mode. (If it does not, scroll down to problem 1)
You have a pc with a usb port and fastboot/adb installed
You have a micro usb to usb cable.
Unlocked bootloader and oem unlock.
Micro sd card
Problem 1: Can't boot into fastboot?
Try this:
1. Make sure device is fully powered off
2. Connect device to any pc.
3. Press and hold volume- and power button at the same time until your screen turns on.
If this doesn't work then unfortunately i can't help...
Problem 2: Only fastboot boots, but not recovery or os:
Lets start by flashing TWRP...
If your device was on android nougat (7.x.x) or the rom you were flashing was nougat based then do this:
Download this file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TjNHI9FNdwQS2HphsjGfQCHKephibiKn/view
Boot into fastboot on your phone and open fastboot on your pc
Type: fastboot flash recovery *Nameofrecovery.img*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your device was on android oreo (8.x.x) or the rom you were flashing was oreo based then do this:
Download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/190zqju8ZmwZCzI4WXtujgKLFXvvuWTk8/view?usp=sharing
Boot into fastboot on your phone and open fastboot on your pc
Type: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk *Nameofrecovery.img*
https://www.mrviking.co.uk/440246340
Problem 3: You can only boot into fastboot and TWRP recovery:
Thats OK! Heres how to restore the phone:
IMPORTANT: THE FILES LINKED HERE ARE ONLY FOR PRA-LX1 DEVICES! If your device has a different model number, or these files did not work for you, follow this guide to get files for your device: https://www.mrviking.co.uk/440246340
This will also update your device to android oreo!
Put the micro sd card in your pc.
On your pc download these files:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 (Download 0.3)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1194/g104/v148634/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...altice_all/update_full_PRA-L11_altice_all.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...34/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Now Rename update_full_PRA-L11_altice_all.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Also rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
Put all four files: update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, update_data_public.zip and HuRUpdater_0.3.zip into one folder on the external sdcard.
Take sdcard out of pc and put it into phone.
Boot into twrp tap on mount and select all partitions
Make sure 'mount system read only' is NOT checked.
Go back to twrp home
Go to install, find the huruupdater zip file
Flash ONLY hurupdater, DO NOT FLASH ANY OTHER ZIPS.
Follow instructions on screen.
Reboot to system and wait for the device to boot.
If it didnt boot, dont worry:
Go back to fastboot mode on your phone and pc, and download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1daIos0yagHk9Kg-5hXLDwNYDHjP_N0EM/view?usp=sharing
Flash it with fastboot using:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk *Nameofrecovery.img*
now boot into recovery wipe cache wipe date/factory reset reboot to system
If none of this worked, try this last resort. (Likely won't work but it is worth a shot)
Firstly, place your micro sdcard into your pc. Create a folder called 'dload' in the root of it.
Now, locate the firmware files you downloaded from firmware finder.
Open the main update.zip file and extract the 'UPDATE.APP' file to the 'dload' folder in your sdcard.
Place sdcard back in phone
Make sure phone is powered off. (Can't power it off? Unplug anything connected (charger, pc, etc...) and hold the power button until screen goes black)
Hold all three function keys (VOL+,VOL- and POWER) until screen turns on.
Hope it works and wait
If it worked, please hit thanks button! If you want to donate pm me.
If it DID NOT work, post a reply here and either me or someone else will try and help.
Thanks!

Top tip - always follow all of the instructions. the version of TWRP listed in the instructions is the only one to use. I was using an incomaptible version. My phone if fixed!

Always use TWRP from OP
And if its not working, try Flashing Stock recovery and boot it and do tap some options e.g. reset/ clear cache etc. ( I got my mobile fixed via this method as Internal Memory got corrupted because of incompatible TWRP )
For problem 1 fix : Fully shutdown , connect the phone to via usb to pc , and fast hold down the volume - . Cheers
Edit : or the same : usb , power and volume - till you see the huawei logo , then just hold volume -

Force shut down the device (Hold power button) if it is on.
Connect to a pc
Hold down POWER and VOL- buttons untill screen turns on
If you see a screen with an android robot saying FASTBOOT at the top let me know, if not tell me that :good:

Wow thats a pretty bad brick. First try to boot to recovery like this:

2. Hold power and volume up until screen goes on.
3. When screen goes on quickly take fingers off buttons.

Can you update to stock through erecovery via wifi? I had my phone frp locked + bl locked + bricked system. eRecovery was the only way out to get into a working system.
The unlock tool that costs too much is b.s and only works if it was locked because of Google Play account (tried it, did not unlock my frp).
After erecovery update and having a system, google play account was also locked because of stock firmware, this time I used the unlock tool. I used firmware finder afterwards for forcing an oreo update (because bl unlocking was grayed out). After oreo update, i enabled bl unlock from dev options and unlocked my bl again through fastboot. frp got unlocked along the way, i forgot when.
i can access in eRecovery, but when i check to download by wifi i still receive: "Getting package info failed" :/
-
via dload (8gb sd in fat 32 with only dload folder and old release UPDATE.APP inside it - but tested with more...) stuck for minuts at 5%, then reboot!

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...34/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Now Rename update_full_PRA-L11_altice_all.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Also rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
Put all four files: update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, update_data_public.zip and HuRUpdater_0.3.zip into one folder on the external sdcard.
Take sdcard out of pc and put it into phone.
Boot into twrp tap on mount and select all partitions
Make sure 'mount system read only' is NOT checked.
Go back to twrp home
Go to install, find the huruupdater zip file
Flash ONLY hurupdater, DO NOT FLASH ANY OTHER ZIPS.
Follow instructions on screen.
Reboot to system and wait for the device to boot.
If it didnt boot, dont worry:
Go back to fastboot mode on your phone and pc, and download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1daIos0yagHk9Kg-5hXLDwNYDHjP_N0EM/view?usp=sharing
Flash it with fastboot using:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk *Nameofrecovery.img*
now boot into recovery wipe cache wipe date/factory reset reboot to system
If none of this worked, try this last resort. (Likely won't work but it is worth a shot)
Firstly, place your micro sdcard into your pc. Create a folder called 'dload' in the root of it.
Now, locate the firmware files you downloaded from firmware finder.
Open the main update.zip file and extract the 'UPDATE.APP' file to the 'dload' folder in your sdcard.
Place sdcard back in phone
Make sure phone is powered off. (Can't power it off? Unplug anything connected (charger, pc, etc...) and hold the power button until screen goes black)
Hold all three function keys (VOL+,VOL- and POWER) until screen turns on.
Hope it works and wait
If it worked, please hit thanks button! If you want to donate pm me.
If it DID NOT work, post a reply here and either me or someone else will try and help.
Thanks!

No problem! Glad to hear it works
I've made a tutorial 1 day before you ^^
Hello i've made a tutorial on my thread for my solution to unbrick it so if you need to unbrick your phone with a different method
you can use my tutorial it has worked perfecty on my p8 lite 2017 and now he's on oreo
my phone personnaly was totaly broken i flashed some random things on my phone etc this is working 100% cause you are about to clear all the old android system for the new oreo one so for the peoples who got the same problem than me and got stuck
on the fastboot&rescue mode when VOLUME- + POWER for like 5 seconds with the phone off
(for the peoples who can't power off your device you can download the "universal fastboot and ADB tool" app and then click on reboot phone in the fastboot part)
the solution is to :
-Download the rom stock Oreo android 8.0 stechguide.com/huawei-p8-lite-2017-b370-oreo-firmware/
-exctract all files from the HuaweiUpdateExtractor find it on google it's easy just download update.zip
-extract and put the UPDATE.APP in the HuaweiUpdateExtractor
-run srk tool for huawei
-type 000 and press enter
-and now you have to flash all partitions that you have received from HUE commands are here:
[dont worry if some of theese are not working it's because certains commands are not allowed to use and certains commands are out of date :/ but dont worry the phone will boot correctly after ]
Code:
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash crc CRC.img
fastboot flash curver CURVER.img
fastboot flash dts DTS.img
fastboot flash efi EFI.img
(i'm not putting erecorery imgs cause we cannot touch them it's an ultimate security from os :) )
fastboot flash fastboot FASTBOOT.img
fastboot flash hifi HIFI.img (only if you are the wifi is not working ;) )
fastboot flash kernel KERNEL.img
fastboot flash modem_fw MODEM_FW.img
fastboot flash modemnvm_update MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img
fastboot flash odm ODM.img
fastboot flash package_type PACKAGE_TYPE.img
fastboot flash product PRODUCT.img
fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
fastboot flash recovery_vbmeta RECOVERY_VBMETA.img

fastboot flash trustfirmware TRUSTFIRMWARE.img
fastboot flash vbmeta VBMETA.img
fastboot flash vendor VENDOR.img
fastboot flash verlist VERLIST.img
fastboot flash xloader XLOADER.img
Now you have loader all partitions of an huawei p8 lite 2017 android 8.0 gg !
you just have to make a fastboot reboot to reboot your phone and enjoy !
notes:Everything is working properly after 3 day of use not any missing data some calls bugs but nothing hard
you will loose your TWRP recovery mode AND DO NOT INSTALL ONE OF THEM FOR NOW they are outdated for oreo wait some months (september on some sources)
you will loose all your data and the root (some sites prupose root methods for oreo p8 lite 2017 (and soft root this time :laugh:
idk about the bootloader but i keeped my imei number ^^
Thanks for your time and if anyone got questions i'm still here ^^

That's interesting, never heard of that method!
However there are many good working twrps for oreo, especially the one by Dil3mm4.

Hello, please help me with the following.
My Moto X4 (XT1900-7) recently got the Android 9 (Pie) update. Since then I have problems with wifi and it's always dropping. Because of that I reset the phone, but now I can't even log into Play Store, because wifi keeps dropping all the time. I can't use the phone at all. Every guide I've tried getting back Android 8.1 back didn't work so far. Maybe the guides were **** or I simply didn't understand them. Also, my recovery mode doesn't even start.
I've downloaded "PAYTON_OPW27.57-40_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml". Would that be the correct version to install?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

This one:
PAYTON_OPWS28.46-21-16_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
but two things:
1) Your bootloader needs to be unlocked. If you have a locked bootloader and try to go 9 -> 8.1 you are bootlooped.
2) You will still get prompts to upgrade to Android 9. You can ignore them but they won't ever go away.
Yeah, I first need to unlock the bootloader, but that's where the problems start. I found a guide on motorola web page: motorola-global-portal[.]custhelp[.com]/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
I've downloaded Android SDK (1 GB??!) and installed it. Then I've installed Motorola Device Manager. I've set my X4 to Fastboot Mode. The next step "On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure fastboot is in your $PATH)" I don't even understand. How do I "go to the directory", and what's my "$PATH"? That guide is as bad as it gets. I doesn't explain anything.
Edit: I've tried it through minimal adb fastboot command and could get my unlock-key. let's see how it goes from now on.
Thanks so far.

I only get error messages when entering all the fastboot commands.
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
I could flash it using my laptop now, but when turning it on it says "verity mode is set to logging" and keeps on rebooting in a loop. Then I tried using twrp and mount it using an sd card, but that gave me error messages. are you sure this version is the right one for me? How difficult can it be? I wanna smash the phone against a wall.

It is the correct Oreo firmware for your device.
Re-verify the commands you're entering to flash are:
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Bootloader is unlocked (the bottom of your fastboot screen says 'flashing_unlocked')?
Are you trying this in windows or linux?
I tried this version: PAYTON_OPWS28.46-21-16_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT very often on my laptop (I guess it was a problem with the usb-ports on my normal pc), but I couldn't get my device to work. It always said "verity mode is set to logging". Then I tried installing PAYTON_OPW27.57-40_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT once (with my laptop) and it worked without any problems. The only thing is, that the device now says it's not the correct os when booting.

This will display for everyone with an unlocked bootloader. I know it does for me.

But it didn't boot though. It showed this text and it kept restarting over and over again.
It's fine now with this PAYTON_OPW27.57-40_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml version, but I always get the notifications that I should update to Android 9. I don't have any wifi problems whatsoever.
Do you have a solution on how to really disable / block those?
Hello,
I have the following problem. I unlocked the bootloader with the MI Unlocker after I waitedf freaking 360h.
I then tried to flash Xiamoi EU Rom - something didn't work as expected and I tried to flash the offical rom from miui com.
During the fastboot flash the phone stuck and screen go black. I tried to power off and power on but it doesn't react to anything
Fastboot shows the device as ????????..if I try a fastboot reboot FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error)).
Any ideas what I can do to fix this?
Well, explain the steps you did please.
Skickat från min MI 9 via Tapatalk
As I wrote I first unlocked the bootloader
Installed TWRP and flashed the EU ROM from xiamoi.eu.
Since Google Pay wasn't working on this one either I wanted to return to the global image EEA.
So I downloaded the offical tgz with the flash_all.bat in fastboot mode..
It started but stuck at the elf file..screen went black and since that the fastboot only shows ????????
I tried holding power for 10, 15,30.up to 2min..it didn't turn of the LED is blinking when hitting the power button.
Thats all

As written it won't turn off..it is not responding to power button - only LED is blinking when I press it or keep it pressed..think this crappy phone died.
Just to be sure... Did you press volume down + power?

Download FASTBOOT ROM from the official site and unzip it.
After charging the phone for a while, press and hold the Power button and Volume +-button for a few seconds.
If FAST BOOT starts, flash the unzip FAST BOOT ROM with the following command:
Some of the commands may end in an error, but ignore it and proceed to the end.
Try it. Wish good luck.
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash dummy dummy.img

fastboot flash metadata metadata.img
fastboot flash misc misc.img
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
Thanks for the suggestion but you may overerad the one important point..I tried already ...
it doesn't responds to power button press in any way except the LED is BLINKING at that moment i press it.
I have tried Power + Volume+ and - nothing really nothing happens..the battery is fully charged.
Well I return it and fill RMA.
