Apparently, trying to get myself to install a clean rom has ended up on me having no rom at all, only FastBoot access and access to TWRP 2.8.1.0. So. How in this world do i install ANYTHING, when apparently every single ROM version patches over the older versions? where do i find a clean stock rom i can install through TWRP? ( Default recovery throws a cust error ). This is kind of getting insane already.
I hate being this kind of person who registers on a forum just to have some ( possibly incredibly stupid ) problems solved. But here i go.
Since i've heard that there's a lollipop update for Android ( literally 2 days ago ), i decided to start an upgrade. Sadly, it seems like somehow when i installed Se7en ROM, i ****ed something up. After looking around i did manage to find a proper copy of TWRP 2.8.1.0 that i could use for recovery, and after fighting a half brick i had following some of the comments left over here i have gotten back to "normal operation"
The device boots normaly but it seems like it won't do anything on Recovery. The bootloader states it's from version 133 so i am trying to install that as i am writting this. With that said, i see a lot of confusion going on on how to update, and the few threads i find with boot and recovery images, seem to be either dead or get my phone stuck on a bootloop. the custom recovery seems to work but it is not doing any IO operations, apparently. If this is relevant, it seems like the caché partition has been broken somehow. something that would easily be fixed, if it weren't because of the fact it isn't writting or reading.
Is there a way i can safely go to stock from where i am? ( i got an unlocked bootloader, so there is that ), and from there on, how do i safely upgrade to a more modern build? All the mirrors for TWRP2870 seem to crash, returning my phone back to the bootloader. And apparently that is mandatory for an upgrade later on.
I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this.
I apparently have deleted my somewhat working system for nothing. I need to have the stock firmware as a ZIP file for it to be flashed. Does anyone have an idea?
Aaaand now, trying to flash an updated bootloader and recovery i am stuck in what looks like a complete full brick.
Go me.
Flash MyRom 1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2948887) through TWRP. Now you've should got a running system back.
Then flash the emui 2.3 stock Recovery. If you don't find any link the download a B1xx Rom (the last 4 characters of the build-number matters) and extract recovery.img with the huawei update extractor.
After beeing back on stock recocery flash B609 with the normal update-methode. Go on for B621 -> B623 -> B830.
TWRP 2.8.7.0 will work once you updated to at least B609.
I'd been in a comparable situation once again. The correlation of different firmwares/recoverys/custom roms is just confusing when you start dealing with.. So I really can feel with you[emoji14]

Well. i may probably be in trouble since i tried to flash directl ythe B609 bootloader and Recovery from the update.app ( as it looks like 609 is the last known "full" update ), and i can't seem to get back to it. But if i do manage to get enough to flash TWRP again I now know how to get back on track. Right now no matter what buttons do i press, i am stuck at the carrier logo, then it jsut reboots again.
Thank you very much for the reply! i now wish i was patient enough to have waited for this instead of doing a bad flash.
Was there an error or was the B609 Flash successful? Maybe (when you managed to boot into bootloader) flashing TWRP 2.8.1.0 fails now. If so, then try version 2.8.7.0 and use MyRom 3.3.
Did you try connecting your (powered off) device to your PC while pressing volume down permanently? I'm not sure if the phone boots itself now, probably you have to press power, too. Hopefully the phone boots now into bootloader.

Fastboot gave me no failures. it did your typical "sending data .... OK" message. Only remarkable message is that it said that fastboot was informed that the target device only had 800MB ( in bytes ) available for usage. which i fail to recognize as a proper size for any volume that the device could contain.
I could not get into either the recovery or the bootloader, i even tried to press all three buttons and see if i could initiate a update, at least to know if the recovery worked. No luck.
I don't have my phone right now with me since i'm out and i am using an older, backup phone, but i will definetly try once i get back. and give it another try, maybe doing it coldly will make it work.
Hello, sorry advanced my English is not good I have a problem with my L-10 ... its brick .. I don't have access recovery and I have wiped the room . thanks you . (I am french).
Enter fastboot mode by holding "Volume down" & " Power" buttons while your cable is connected to the computer.
Make sure that the USB drivers for P7 L-10 are installed by installing HiSuite from official Huawei website.
Now download ADB and fastboot here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410
Now you'll need 2 more things - Official P7-L10 ROM & Huawei update extractor which you can download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3262545
Once you have all of those we can start the fun with the command line
Once you're in fastboot mode you'll have either green LOCKED screen or red UNLOCKED screen. You need to have a red screen in order to send commands to your phone from fastboot.
Open ADB & Fastboot and type "fastboot devices" (without quotes, always without quotes) - this will tell you if your device is properly detected, if it is, you'll see bunch of numbers and letters.
Now you'll need to extract a couple of .IMG files from your official ROM. This is how you do it. Your official ROM has 1 single file that's called UPDATE.APP. Open Huawei Update Extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it.
You should see a whole list with different .IMG files. You'll need to extract only a couple. BOOT.IMG - RECOVERY.IMG - CUST.IMG - SYSTEM.IMG
Now that you've extracted them all you'll need to start flashing them 1 by 1. This is how we do it
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
fastboot flash cust CUST.IMG
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG
You can drag and drop the IMG file into fastboot for your conveniance.
Now you need to place the actual ROM in the root of your SDcard.
On your SDcard make a folder called dload and put UPDATE.APP in it.
Now force update by turning off your phone and then power it back on while holding all 3 buttons pressed in. When screen comes on release Power button, but keep holding the other 2 buttons down.
Now your recovery should start wiping and installing the ROM and you should be saved
Let me know if you need more help

I flashed all the images you named, and after that I can't enter in recovery. Tried flashing twrp, still can't enter. Tried with power + vol+, nothing, tried with stock power + vol+vol-, still nothing. And access bootloader I can only with usb connected. Tried from another update.app, same result. Phone unlocked.

Just yesterday i bricked my phone too and i've spend 18 hours unbricking it, until i realised that the version of TWRP is directly related to the version of EMUI that's on your phone. As i was trying to install the old B126 with EMUI 2.3 i had to use TWRP 2.8.1.0. Once i installed it, i was able to enter into recovery and erase all data in orded to start over. Maybe you have the same problem.
EMUI 2.3 - TWRP 2.8.1.0
EMUI 3.0 - TWRP 2.8.7.0
EMUI 3.1 - TWRP 3.0.0.0
Try using TWRP that matches your EMUI version and let me know if it works for you

Well, somehow after posting I got working TWRP and got back to X-Rom, because for some reason, I can't install other custom ROM's, because of infinite bootloop. So I wanted to get back to stock firmware. So I tried all you steps and got bricked. For some reason, when I tried to install stock rom I got, "verifying install package" and after few seconds "FAIL". So I kinda stuck to one ROM

I finnaly did it, week ago. I downloaded stock rom (don't remember which, but recovery started working). Then I just "forced update" with latest full rom. and now I have B852. :fingers-crossed:
My main problem was that stock recovery would not work, but I managed somehow to get it done and after that point it was all nice and clean. Thanks for helping out!

Hi there guys. Please excuse me for posting this in the QA thread but because I am a new member it wouldn't let me post in the recovery section. I joined XDA just to get some help with my Huawei P9
So I have a Huawei P9 (EVA-L19) and I tried to load a custom rom onto my phone. I was going to load resurrection remix 6 onto my phone but did not get that far.
I got as far as flashing TWRP recovery onto my phone. Once I flashed TWRP recovery I still could not get into TWRP 3.1.1 instead I kept entering eRecovery. So I flashed Recovery2 with TWRP and now my phone is in a boot loop. If I let the phone battery drain completely I can boot the phone. But if I shut down or reboot the phone for any reason while there is power in the battery the phone gets stuck in a boot loop. My Bootloader is unlocked but I can't get the phone into fastboot mode. Even with Volume- and Power key and USB. It just goes straight to "phone can't be trusted page" and then boot loops. Is there a way to fix my phone when I let it run completely flat and then log back into EMUI? I tried factory refresh but it just got stuck on bootloop.
So to summarize.
*My phone gets stuck on a boot loop on all reboot/power on scenarios EXCEPT when starting from a completely drained battery.
*Cannot access fastboot.
*Unlocked bootloader
*Not Rooted
*Rebooting phone gets it stuck in a boot loop.
*How to fix phone either back to EMUI or RR6.0
I would wish to either just get my phone working again on EMUI as a last resort. But ultimately I would like to finish putting on RR6.0 because I was unhappy to hear P9 wouldn't get Oreo updates.

RROS 6.0 must go on Android Oreo / EMUI 8.
You first had to rebrand your phone by HWOTA7 to Chinese Oreo AL10 c00 b535 or b528.
Were you rebrabding and hence needed TWRP, or you were trying to flash RROS 6 (for Oreo) on L19 (on Nougat or even MM) together with TWRP 3.1.1 for Nougat?
Please answer precisely:
- What was the full name and number of your stock build you were starting from (like EVA-L19c432b504 or so, not just "P9 L19")
- Have you already flashed (by Fastboot) RROS 6.0 or your first step was trying to install this TWRP?
- Where did you pick up that TWRP 3.1.1.1?
If you picked directly from TWRP site then this TWRP might not work even for Nougat (EMUI 5.x)
- If you picked proper TWRP from XDA threads, then there is always an important detail described:
Immediately upon flashing TWRP, you must boot into TWRP - otherwise you loose TWRP as if it was never flashed.
You must:
- press and keep pressing Vol+
- type in: fastboot reboot, Enter
- IMMEDIATELY at the moment when phone turns off, disconnect USB
- keep pressing Vol+ until you see it boots to TWRP.
Reasons that you were not able to install TWRP might be:
- wrong TWRP
- you did not follow this 'trick'
- you were flashing proper TWRP for Nougat but your L19 was on MM (EMUI 4.x), or you were flashing it once you already rebranded to Chinese AL10 Oreo, or upon you flashed RROS 6....
There are various possibilities, please precisely describe - it's not why TWRP did not flash but why (after this possible mess) your phone does not boot and how to fix it now

No I did not get as far as flashing RR6.
I downloaded TWRP 3.1.1 openkiren for Eva from TWRP's download page.
I only got as far as attempting to flash TWRP no custom rom was flashed yet.
I could of sworn I HAD EVA-L19C185B405 when I started this process.
However I now have EVA-L19C185B403. Not sure if my phone rolled back somehow. If I try search for updates it says the phone is up to date.
My L19 is on Nougat. It's on EMUI 5.0.3 Android 7.0
I did not rename my phone with any Chinese P9 builds or any tricks like that. Didn't even know you had to do that.
My phone still works provided I don't reboot it. And if I do reboot it, it gets stuck on the bootscreen until it drains completely. Then I plug it in to power and it boots successfully again.

For EMUI 5.x you must use TWRP 3.1.1 from XDA (adapted for Huawei Nougat and its encryption), best the latest build eg from post #1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-magicrainbow-v4-t3759292
and you must flash it with the trick at rebooting as described in previous answer.
Your TWRP you flashed to Recovery2 (?) is likely not even good for Huawei N (but probably for MM).
You must fix your Recovery2 by flashing back the proper stock Recovery2.
You need to download update.zip corresponding to your c185 build by Firmware Finder (find XDA thread about, there is also PC version), unzip and put update.app to Huawei Update Extractor (find also XDA thread about) to extract your stock Recovery2.
Once you repair, please carefully read HWOTA7 instructions how to rebrand (and upgrade to Chinese Oreo - this is a must if you would like to play with OpenKirin Oreo ROMs, they can not be installed to L19 Nugat builds) - and this required rebranding is far more than 'renaming'

Ok how do I reflash the recovery2 if I cant get into fastboot mode on my phone. Can I do it from inside EMUI?
There are two ways to boot to Fastboot
1) Power off, connect by USB to PC, press and keep pressing Vol-, press Pow
2) From Android, enable Dev options and ADB, connect by USB and execute: adb reboot-bootloader
You cannot by either way?
For Oreo but also reported for some newest Nougat builds, eRecovery gives you an option to reinstall current firmware.
But if you cannot boot to eRecovery, because you attempted to flash TWRP over Recovery2...
Actually, try to boot to eRecovery: power off, connect by USB to charger, press and keep pressing Vol+, press Pow.
If it boots to TWRP (instead of to eRecovery) you can try:
-flash stock eRecovery to recovery2
- flash (proper, from XDA, link was above) TWRP to recovery
There are other methods: HuRUpdater, HWOTA7, HWOTA as improved variations of nonCheckRecovery, but
- first two require Fastboot to start (they will flash TWRP)
- last two require already installed TWRP
(apparently not applicable to your brick)
In HiSuite, for Oreo (maybe also Nougat, I don't know if it depends on Huawei firmware or newest HiSuite version on the PC), there is an option to upgrade/downgrade.
You can try if you could (re)install some stock firmware that way but I never played with.
For eRecovery and HiSuite (if you would be able to do) it is unclear if (re)installation of stock firmware will succeed (or even further brick your phone - don't know if anybody else had such a brick as yours and tried them).
If none as above, you may try DC Phoenix (15 Euros credit?):
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial
I didn't need it but search on XDA, from time to time people report (usually in not highly exposed threads) that they were able to unbrick various Huawei phones (when no other methods worked or they were too lazy to investigate and experiment) - but their on-line instructions are not very detailed and they are not very friendly if contacted for help
1900-1 variant (Android One) with unlocked bootloader. Followed these instructions and it worked fine.
I then flashed TWRP and rebooted (did not install Magisk) and that's when the bootloops started. I was still able to get into TWRP, so I did a factory data reset since I didn't care about my data. Still looping.
Then I followed the first part of those instructions (flash to stock Oreo via fastboot)...still looping, and TWRP is gone. I can't seem to get into stock recovery using the vol+/pwr so I can do an adb sideload of Pie.
Thoughts?
I have a 1900-2 & there is no stock recovery. Go to bootloader & use commands "fastboot boot ((name of recovery img(twrp.img))".
There is several threads on booting out flashing recovery. I never installed the recovery to my phone because I've already seen this problem in other threads. I just use my PC to boot twrp when I need it.

Download Pie full fastboot package. Check my previous post somewhere here.Then won't install TWRP, only boot to TWRP.

Thanks! This link to Mega that you posted?

Is that for the Android One (1900-1) variant? Although I don't suppose it really matters, since I'm not using it with Fi.
EDIT 1: well, it "worked" in that Pie would boot, but it's definitely not for the A1 and upon setup it can't find any wireless networks, so I'm assuming I need the A1 files. I did try to flash back to Oreo, but I'm bootlooping again.
EDIT 2: I flashed stock Oreo 8.1 again. I don't know if I was doing the key combination incorrectly to get into recovery (hold PWR and just once press VOL+) or I needed to flash Oreo again, but I could get into recovery. I tried flashing Pie again, but it failed since I (probably) needed to get the two Oreo OTAs (28.3.4 and 28.3.5) that have been released since the full image (28.3.3). I was, however, able to do a full factory data reset (including userdata and personalization) and that let me boot into Oreo! So I'll try the Pie thing again
EDIT 3: I booted back into Oreo and did the two OTAs. Since I wasn't rooted (only an unlocked bootloader), I did the Pie update via OTA and it worked fine.

Hi everyone, I wanted to root my phone because my google pay way not working after I unlocked the bootloader of my phone.
I used magisk to flash a version for my redmi 2201117TY, but after using fastboot to flash my "patched" rom back to my phone, it is now booting over and over again.
I installed twrp to try to install another ROM, but I'm not sure it'll work.
I installed several redmi note 11 img to see if it would fix it but i did not (V13.0.6.0.SGKEUXM, V14.0.2.0.TGKMIXM and V13.0.3.0.SGKEUSF which was my original one i suppose)
I just want to have an usable phone even if it means cleaning everything. How can I format everything back to make it usable?
I have access to adb, fastboot, TWRP. (usb debugger on)
I am not sure I can find the exact rom as it was a really wierd version from my operator (SGKEUSF) and I can only find one on internet which happen to not work. How can I unbrick my phone now?
NOTE : the SGKEUSF is an overlayer of the SFR (Altis) network so i would rather not use it
Format (not wipe) data in twrp, flash a rom that fits your needs (on sdcard), reboot recovery (!), reboot system. If fastboot access is given it's fixable. Had the same thing many times with spesn. This is the way it always works for me.
When you say "flash a rom", you mean a recovery or a fastboot one? Does it have an influence?
Just download latest version of MiFlash, download RN11 fastboot ROM, flash the ROM via MiFlash. In MiFlash make sure to to check the box whether of not to lock the bootloader after flash. Just to be safe leave it unlocked until after the phone is safe.
