Honor 4x hanged (in some Indian kitkat version, not rooted) and after restart it is in bootloop. Honor logo appears then blue light starts to appear then restart.
Recovery mode and dload update not working.
After unlocking bootloader tried fastboot -w, still in bootloop.
Extracted Lollipop, Marshmallow, Kitkat - B161, B126 and flashed in fastboot. Possible to flash only recovery, boot, userdata & system. For others - failed : remote command not allowed. After flashing no change, still in bootloop.
Tried to boot to recovery from fastboot boot
- for lollipop and marshmallow recoveries it says "dtb not found"
- others including twrp, cm it is in bootloop.
Out of warranty.
Need help.

Oh ****, that seems like a frustrating situation. What made the device mess up so much? Have you gone to service centres?
Regards,
PoseidonKing

Not tried to flash or root. It just hanged while using.
Service centre said board gone (as always). MTK devices have a factory mode through which we can check working of all board parts. I did not find any way for this.

balongc52b311 after failing kangvip 6.7.1
hey there. will tell you my experience with failing to flashing kangvip 6.7.1 due to wiping problem
i wiped my cache, data, system even internal storage and yet failed to flashing kangvip 6.7.1 4 custom rom due to "cust" folder unable to mount giving me this:
error 1 can't mount /cust (Invalid argument)
so after failing to mount that folder and even deleting it by mistake,i got a new error:
error 1 can't mount cust no such file or directory
i lost hope and let my my honor 4x normally boot but it took too long and i was determined its stuck on bootloop :cyclops:
i woke up today finding it on 5% battery and giving me that first time setup as if all i did was a factory format BUT all in chinese. checked the build number and it was balongc52b311.
i tried mounting "cust" folder to r/w and rebooted into bootloader but it gave me the same first error. i tried deleting the folder and then rebooting into recovery and it gave me the 2nd error. created the folder "/cast" and then rebooted into recovery and it gave me the same first problem that the folder can't mount EVENTHO it was mounted successfully right before i rebooted into recovery (did this 3 times to make sure)
did some researching and found a solution for honor 4c http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/help/huawei-honor-4x-balong-hi6210sft-fixed-t3324335 or two BUT both for lolllipop and i'm marshmallow.
i'm already halfway at the method i mentioned above but i stopped after i realized it was for lollipop. i rooted my mobile and changed my build number to "Che2-L11C636B330". worth to mention that my model number remained already the same "Che2-L11".
the cust folder error is still there whenever i go to the bootloader
now i have no idea what to do, what firmware to download and if i have to downgrade first to lollipop and then upgrade to marshmallow again...
my marshmallow version was the middle east final version before this balong happened: Che2-L11C185B561 and i would like to go back to it again.. thank you in advance ( :
###*UPDATED BELOW*
fixed my problem trying the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-rooted-twrp-modaco-rom-unable-t3462039/page2
>>>>worth to mention that i flashed my oeminfo for my UPDATE.APK REGION before flashing the extracted files from UPDATE.APP "wasn't mentioned in that method"
now i'm back to my original marshmallow version "middle east". good luck people.

How to Root my honor 4x Che2-L11?
Hi everyone, I'm noob, so I need a step to step guide if there's such a thing
my android version is 6.0 and EMUI 4.0
I have bootloader code for unlocking the phone, thanks in advance guys, also happy new year :good:

Phone Honor 4x (che1-L04) Stuck in fastboot mode
My phone is stuck in fastboot mode. Couldn't get the bootloader unlock key online as it requires the product id which can be obtained by dialing a number which isn't possible. I have requested directly from the customer care number and the official chat portal as well but its been more than a week and still they are asking for 24 working hours. Is there any alternative method of getting the key or atleast the Product ID?
Model name :Che1-L04
Stuck in Fastboot & Rescue mode with the bootloader locked.

I got unlock key after 12 days. Honor 4x hanged after restart it is in bootloop.
3 button sd card update not working ?

No the update.app isnt working I guess because I have already flashed the CM13 recovery image with the bootloader locked. However, I recieved the bootloader key yesterday from the email but when I tried unlocking by the fastboot command it said it is an invalid or wrong key. Is there any other way to take my phone back to stock condition atleast without actually unlocking the Bootloader?

1. Try "fastboot continue" it will directly boot without going to recovery.
2. If fastboot flash works flash recovery of the firmware installed in phone before bootloop.
3. If still not works flash boot, system, recovery (in this order) of firmware installed before bootloop.
Confirm unlock key with customer care if it is still locked.

I wanna know is there any other method to install xposed framework since the normal installation is not working for me.
Using Honor 4x Che1-l04 running on (stock ROM) Android marshmallow 6.0.1, have TWRP custom recovery and is rooted.

no other way, unfortunatly.. one way or the other, you have to flash the zip...
ps: if you are on emui, first boot after flashing xposed will take a really long time.. mine took around 25 minutes to boot.. so dont consider it a boot loop, wait untill 30 minutes and you will be profitted

Mine was in boot screen for around 3 minutes and then rebooted into recovery. Same thing was happening again and again. So at last did the restore process from TWRP.

PRA-LX1 I want to install stock firmware.

I want to flash my phone with stock firmware, but I cannot find it anywhere.
I am looking for PRA-LX1C738B123.
I own Huawei p8 lite 2017
I wiped my system because I wanted to install other rom, it didn't work so I want to go back to the original.
Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to do a backup before so I am stuck atm. The bootloader is unlocked and flashing works, I can boot into huawei eRecovery and TWRP. (eRecovery gives the getting package info failed error) I have tried the dload method with other app files, it fails at 5% every time tho.
I tried using Huawei Update Extractor and Firmware Finder but I cannot find the exact firmware.
Could someone help me with installing my firmware? Oh and I am kinda new and it would be nice to get some guides,
Thanks.

I have the same problem but with a different firmware.. now only thing i can do is use dc-phoenix paid software (15$ for 72h of use). I will try that tomorrow as i also can't find exact same firmware it was on my phone.

Thanks for reply. I will take that into consideration, but from what I see you were looking for PRA-LX1C432B106 and they indeed have the c432 roms there, however they don't seem to have the ones that I have been looking for. They have a list of firmwares online. Anyway good luck.

Yes, but any PRA-LX1C432 i tried doesn't work for me, flashing by fastboot. I believe any PRA-LX1 should work on this phone, but i will need to use that dc phoenix software to flash it.

Hello ! I think I could be of some help since I encountered the exact same problem !
edit: well I just realized I can't find your ROM with firmware finder either, sorry for the failed attempt
In your case I'd try with each firmware until one would work or a I tried them all.
You need some utilities first :
- Firmware Finder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
It will allow you to find the stock ROM that fits your model
-Huawei UPDATE extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
It will allow you to extract the .img files from the firmware previously downloaded.
-fastboot and adb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.
edit: formatting
Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

But keep updating in case someone more knowledgeable peeks in.

similar problem....I was fairly good but play store was stuck in pending download....
I did a wipe in TWRP, and ended with a black screen...
I can boot to eRecovery, but it fails.and also to TWRP.
when attached to PC it keeps being seen and unseen as if its stuck in a power on cycle
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the solution for every PRA-LX1: [http : // www . htcmania . com / showthread . php ? t=1326478] (sorry for the spaces, but I don't have enough posts written to post external links )

Anyway, it works!

Where did you find the C432 firmware? I can't succees to find it

Flashing to a completely empty phone via DC phoenix or manual via fastboot still didnt got my device started. Sometimes I end up in the eRecovery and sometimes its just stuck at boot.
I tried different version from the hicloud but none so far did the trick. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction so i can finally rescue this phone?
EDIT:
PRA-LX1C432
Sorry cant link to these files since i don't got 10 posts. Maybe PM ?
Copied the Mega TWRP backup (B100) to SD card
Flashed TWRP via fastboot
Disconnected the USB cable
Boot into TWRP
Restored TWRP backup
Restarted phone into fastboot
OEM unlocked it
Got booted into TWRP since no stock recovery there
Booted into fastboot again
flashed stock recovery
Android started to work!
Tried to update to B164 and failed
Reboot
Now it offered B110 and I tried to update to B110. Success.

[SOLVED] PRA-LX1 C432 Softbrick :( Please help!

So... i recently tried to flash lineage os bug changing the format of the partition corrupted my data partition.
I managed to boot the system, but without sound, camera, and the nfc tag is going on and off.
How can i get rid of it and get back to REAL stock?
What works:
-TWRP
-Fastboot
What I already tried:
-The unbrick method from haky and chinhon. -> still landing in a rom with these bugs
-extracting system,recovery,boot from update.app and flashing it with fastboot -> doesn't start at all
-flashing update.zip -> data error
force upgrade update.app -> stops at 5%
Some information about the device:
Rooted: no
unlocked bl: yes
Please help me :crying:

Firstly flash stock recovery and try making a factory reset
Then if you will boot into os, download app called Firmware Finder and download firmware PRA-LX1C432B175 using in-app proxy
You can also try using eRecovery to restore your device
If that fails download the service unbrick firmware from here: http://androidhost.ru/K5 , extract it and put dload folder on the root of an sdcard (sd card should be 8bor more). Insert sdcard into tye phone and on phone powered off hold volume up + volume down+ power. When you see huawei logo let go of the power button but keep holdiing volume up + volume down until you see emui logo
The update process will start.
Hope i helped

Hi, recently I suffered from a softbrick as well.
I followed this procedure https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...a-lx1c432b182-emui-5-01-android-7.858545.html
and VERY IMPORTANT! the procedure only worked when I repeated the bootloader unlock in fastboot (fastboot oem unlock "your unlock code") after following the procedure which finally caused a factory reset. Hope it works for you as well!
:fingers-crossed:
P.S.: I think it only works with a rooted device

-extracting system,recovery,boot from update.app and flashing it with fastboot -> doesn't start at all
-flashing update.zip -> data error
force upgrade update.app -> stops at 5%
Some information about the device:
Rooted: no
unlocked bl: yes
Please help me :crying:

Hy, take a look HERE That's worked for us

Okay thank you guys but i managed it on my own and here is the solution:
I used chinhons backup and put in on my external sdcard. Then I tried to restore it, but it failed at restoring the data partition. So I changed the filesystem from /data from f2fs to ext4 and back to f2fs. Then I restored his backup ( 2017-12--PRA-LX1C432B182-stock-su_root) without problems. Then, I restored the cust and oeminfo partition from my own backup and the rom booted without problems. (NFC worked,sound worked and camera worked). Hope over people can fix their phone like this and a big thumbs up to all of you who tried to help me

Please never ask the community before you tried all your own ideas - if not, you might be stealing (not only wasting) other peoples time...

Firstly flash stock recovery and try making a factory reset
Then if you will boot into os, download app called Firmware Finder and download firmware PRA-LX1C432B175 using in-app proxy
You can also try using eRecovery to restore your device
If that fails download the service unbrick firmware from here: http://androidhost.ru/K5 , extract it and put dload folder on the root of an sdcard (sd card should be 8bor more). Insert sdcard into tye phone and on phone powered off hold volume up + volume down+ power. When you see huawei logo let go of the power button but keep holdiing volume up + volume down until you see emui logo
The update process will start.
Hope i helped

Bad and useless answer

[Stock Rom] Huawei *Prague* PRA-xxxC432B182

[Stock Rom] Huawei (Prague) PRA-xxxC432B182
For restoring/ rescue your device.​P8 Lite 2017 - PRA-LX1, LX2, LX3, LA-1
P9 Lite 2017
Nova Lite
Honor 8 Youth
Created and tested on this device:
Huawei P8 lite 2017 [PRAGUE]
Model number: PRA-LX1
Build number: PRA-LX1C432B182
free device
The PRA is extrem sensitiv.
Any unconsidered, unofficial intervention, don't forgive it.
Hundreds of users have already "bricked" their device.
The response to the dealers is enormous.
To restore your devices,
I'll provide a complete rom.
It is 100% functional and rooted with SuperSu.
It is to be applied to the device via TWRP restoring.
But it is also suitable for this purpose without an OTA update,
to get the current firmware.
Be sure to read the following instructions carefully.
You're doing it at your own risk!
Rom installation:
In the download folder:
2017-12-30-PRAstockB182root (zip)
there are 26 backup files compressed as Zip files.
After downloading, unpack all files individually into this directory. Then delete all zip's. Now copy the whole directory to your TWRP backup folder. Where your other backups are.
Now flash the stock recovery and perform a factoryreset.
Now flash TWRP and make a wipe of the data and system partitions in TWRP.
Then restore my backup and reboot.
The firmware and the kernel are already rooted.
If necessary, you can install Busybox.
If the device does not boot, the bootloader must be unlocked again with the Huawei unlockcode.
It is a little bit more work for you to unpack everything individually, but this way a faultless installation is possible.
I have tested the up- and download, unpacking and restoring several times. It works perfectly. The rom is bug free.
Now create a new TWRP backup
and remove all older backups from the TWRP backup folder, otherwise they could cause problems later.
Save it to another folder or to
USB-/Stick, or HD.​
I would now like to make a few comments on the end of the year:
I've had the P8 lite 2017 for a year.
The first rooting was developed by me.
The SuperSu and the first rooted kernel,
enabled the developers
@Tecalote and KangVip.
TWRP was provided by the LineageOS team. Again and again I have added fresh rootings and roms.
Nevertheless, increased Bricks are not missing.
It took an enormous amount of time to find
help the users. Unfortunately, this didn't work out for everyone.
My recommendation:
Now set up your device completely. Then create a complete backup with the ingenious Huawei Backup App. Now you take the recovery back.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery. img"
Removes TWRP from your brain for the time being.
Your device is now perfect and the firmware is original. You also have root and the OTA update authorization. When OREO comes, you just wait until I announce the new rooting."
I wish you all the best for 2018.
WARNING !
If all this has worked on my device, it does not mean that it goes with everyone else. Follow exactly the instructions to prevent damage. The execution is your risk.
Never make a factory reset in TWRP. Brick !!! Wipes only in stock recovery.
NOTE: Despite careful preparation I can not guarantee that through the implementation of this Guidance does not create damage to the device or operating system, and therefore assume no liability for ensuing damage and malfunction of hardware and software! If you are still unsure, follow these steps: Only perform the procedure if any mentioned conditions (model number, Android version, etc.) apply to you or your device. Read the instructions carefully and completely, check unfamiliar terminology by google or xda. Downloaded files check for viruses. A backup of important settings and data make. The instructions do not perform, if you do not know what you're doing.
Thank you very much: @Tecalote, KangVip,Chainfire, Stephen (Stericson), Jmz Software, LinageOs team, JRummy, as well as.
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Update 2017-12-31:
I removed the part "dual recovery".
The support on xda is finished.
Only here:
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/huawei-p8-lite-2017.2980/​

I couldn't restore my phone. I followed all of your instructions and after restoring, when I reboot, the phone goes only in TWRP (no volume keys pressed). Any ideas on what I can do?
In any case thank you for the thread, it's good to have a well described procedure for these things

Restore your last backup and repeat the procedure.
Try this one first:
Root again with the SU (B182) from the download.

Tip for life: try not to trust random nerds on forums, offering "ROMs" and what they call "tutorials". Stick to the outlet which sold you the phone, and deal with them and/or the manufacturer, and you can't go far wrong.

I had the same situation. It's a bit tricky and you must really know, what you are doing
I rebooted to bootloader an repeated the oem unlock -> this caused a factory reset!!
I am on dual recovery and so I rebooted to twrp, repeated the restore with the b182 stock rom and could reboot to the system

UPDATE: I solved in another way, which is: booted to fastboot mode, restored the stock recoveries (recovery1 to recovery1, erecovery to recovery2), then the phone booted normally as it should have had. At that point I could reflash twrp to recovery1, but that is optional.
I think the phone tried to boot but having the wrong recovery in recovery2 slot caused problems (just a random hypothesis). Hope this helps

Hello!
I want to follow this guide, it should be fine for my Dual SIM Variant, right?
I have a problem with one file, that is 'version.emmc.win.md5.zip' that can't be downloaded from MEGA. Can someone please provide a working link for that file?
Also a doubt: when all the files will be ready my idea is to restore your TWRP backup, flash stock recovery then lock bootloader, to make it as near to stock as possible: will this work? I have another TWRP backup that is running on my phone, but if I lock the bootloader it won't start, if I unlock the bootloader there no problems at all.
Thanks for your interesting topic!

I can now give this stock ROM a try!
EDIT 1: I'm trying to install the ROM but I have a problem with TWRP: I launch the command 'fastboot flash recovery prague311.img' then boot to TWRP, but the touchsceen of the phone is unresponsive and I can't do anything to make it work. Have you got any suggestion?
EDIT 2: I made some mistakes here and there, but the TWRP booted and now I have the phone on your ROM Version! I'm trying to clean everything and do a clean install if I can...
EDIT 3: I've done a full phone clean by using the 'Factory Reset' option in 'Settings'... now the phone boots, but:
1. NFC/GPS are not working, they are blinking
2. FM Radio is not working (it says com.huawei.... and has an Android icon instead of the original icon)

To get the rom completely clean you do the following:
Go to my root thread section: Threadupdate: 2018-01-02 and work through the instructions. Then you have a perfect clean stock rom.

Your support is very helpful, thanks!
I have problems on the steps to reproduce, even after reading your guide :')
This is what I do:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe cache with stock recovery
2. Flash TWRP
3. Open TWRP, clean data, system and also cache + dalvik
4. Reboot the phone to a fully working with B182, in English with Dual SIM fully recognised
5. What I have to do from now on to have a fully stock experience (remove custom Kernel, reflash stock recovery and erecover, re-lock bootloader and fully ready to Oreo)?
Can you please guide me?
Thanks and sorry for my problems, but I work with Nexus devices thare a bit more 'elastic' in flashing

The kernel is stock. You just have to flash the eRecovery and recovery. That's all.

Ok, thanks!
This is what I did before, but I can't do a factory reset due to the problems described (Radio FM not working, NFC not working).
I can't also relock the bootloader, because the phone will boot to erecovery (recovery2) and won't let me reach the boot of the ROM. Have you got any suggestion?
If leave it as it is now (unlocked bootloader with stock recovery1 and recovery2) will Oreo arrive without any problems?
Your support is awesome, thanks

If you now take my UPDATE.APP via dload the problems should be gone.

If I flash the stock recovery, then update officially with an UPDATE.APP from SD Card everything should be ok.
Where can I find your UPDATE.APP? I didn't find it in your MEGA Folder

Is this for rom mtk or not snapdragon?

When you flash stock rom via twrp successfully then before reboot flash andromax kernel for le2 after flash kernel then reboot system now this time your phone starts eui rom but remember first boot take some time maybe 2-5 minutes.

Use Red Wolf Recovery
For le S3 X522 US Version

Hi i also suffered from this problem very long time.
But phone stuck on Leeco boot screen
I accidentally found custom recovery "Red Wolf"
which supports EUI ROMs
which was mentioned in features as "Automatic EUi boot image patching"
Recovery X52X V3.1-017
You can download it from my Google drive also.
Steps to Install ( For le S3 X522 US Version)
----------------------------------------------
1. delete first two lines in update-script
2. Install red wolf recovery
3. This can be installed from fastboot
Or you can install it directly from
twrp. (if you dont know ask here / google)
4. Go to recovery > swipe to allow modifications
5. wipe all partitions (excluding boot)
6. plug your le S3 X522 to computer
7. Go to my computer and copy
S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802012141S-5.8.020S.zip
to internal storage
8. you can copy supersu also at same time
and root if you want
9. Steps from 9-11 only needed if you have ever
encountered no os installed after flashing and reboot
10. press power button long and restart system
your phone wont have any os this time so your phone
will go to boot screen and show leeco logo
11. wait 30 seconds and press volume up(+) button and power key
you will go to recovery
12. Now you have followed step 6 so you will have
S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802012141S-5.8.020S.zip
in internal storage(additionally supersu file if you copied)
13. install S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802012141S-5.8.020S.zip
and ( additionally you can install supersu).
wait until all install finishes.
14. reboot it eui should appear within 5 minutes
enjoy
Finally when you rebooting if wolf recovery said os not installed
system will stuck on boot screen so
concentrate on steps 9-11
I have tested installation more than 10 times around 4 times i received os not installed message.
