You have adb drivers? if yes proceed to next step, if no, install them (google it)
Copy system, boot, recovery, cust to adb folder
Open a cmd with shift+ right click
Enter fastboot with volume down+power
Enter the commands from above... that's it i think...(just woke up so maybe forgot something)

Yes I have.

did you succeed?

No I didn't because I don't have any working rom. I extracted the system files from two different roms but it didn't work.
I guess I'll wait for huawei to release the stock rom.

try with stock recovery and updaye.app in dload folder

I did. I used sd card. but when I enter recovery, only 3 options are there. 'reboot system now', wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache partition'. When I select factory reset, it starts processing for 5-6% then it stop.

Did you create a "dload" folder in your sd? If not, do it and paste in this new folder only the "update.app" file (once extracted the whole rom) and try again, you have to restart the phone pushing both vol+,vol- and power buttons. I forgot doing this and finally it worked!

Here is the link: https://mega.nz/#F!N49UgYSb!yJB-a_O4YABQe2i-_lD58w you have to download the "update.zip" and then extract the file "update.app"

Another reason for this error is if you have device encryption enabled. In order to restore factory image, you first need to format /data to remove encryption.
I have no idea why this causes the error "cannot load system.img", but it definitely does.

also try this:
I faced the same error. Error cannot load system.img. I figured it out after few attempts and a few images. It turns out I had an older version of ADB and I could only install old factory images.

P8 Lite (2017) Full Bricked, Error 255

Hello!
For quite a while I've been having the PRA-LX1C432B106 with no OS. I have been searching the XDA forums for possible solutions and have tried Sir ChinHon's unbricking tutorial and many others. Unfortunately, my System partition is only 1921MB, which means I cannot restore that partition with the available ones, as I receive Error: 255 (extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255 whenever the restored size gets close to the maximum size of my partition).
If anyone could help me with this, it would be so much appreciated!
UPDATE: Solved by using K-Rom!

My bootloader is unlocked, frp unlocked, I can access recovery, I restored vendor and cust partitions using some twrp restores and I know that with the vendor partition i had an error which was solved by changing the file system to EXT4 and i think it was wiped and no, i can't find the update.app on the firmware finder or for that matter on the internet.

Okay, let me explain better. When I go in TWRP into Wipe and Advanced Options and I check the System Partition, it shows me that i have 1921MB Total. I tried to restore that backup and it gave me the error. Went to restore only the system partition and I saw it had over 2000MB. And that is the cause of the error. I would need a backup with less. I don't know why my System Partition is so small and I can't resize it or something.

You extract zip, put contents in external_sd/dload/

Or want to rollback from Oreo to Nougat.
---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------
Phew. Thanks to these dload images...
I was going to update to Oreo again to try some stuff to get Magisk running.
I downloaded Oreo Beta from pro-teammt.ru using Linux. Little did I know the update.zip was corrupt (Later I tried downloading multiple times using both browser and wget, different MD5 each time so something is up with my computer).
So I updated like usual using HWOTA. It started installing, I don't know how long it got to, but I was presented with a screen that said PLEASE REDOWNLOAD PACKAGE USING RECOVERY.
So I rebooted. ERROR MODE. Now I'm scared... I googled "Mate 10 release date" just in case, lol.
I rebooted to fastboot mode, thankfully it still worked. I had to unlock bootloader again. Now I tried flashing stock B197 recovery, FAILED: (remote: partition length get error).
I tried the same with boot. Same result.
Then I figured out it probably had the new Oreo partition names for boot and recovery, and thankfully those flashed fine.
So flashed TWRP for Oreo, flashed oeminfo for AL00C00 using dd. Flashed ERECOVERY partitions using dd as well, just in case.
Back to bootloader to unlock again after flashing oeminfo, then flashed back stock recovery_ramdisk.
Then placed dload folder on external sd and booted up using vol up+down+power
Now my Mate 9 is booting up again!

You need to rebrand to AL00C00 to rollback.
In other words, flash AL00 oeminfo.bin, use AL00 dload. Then rebrand back to L29C432 using Hwota. It's currently the only free way of rolling back to Nougat.

It doesn't check system or any other partition so it will install.
Yes, ext sd:/dload/files from AL00C00(B115 is what I used) dload rar.
Extract dload rar, place all files on external SD in dload folder.
Flash AL00C00 oeminfo.bin. use vol up+vol down+power to boot, make sure USB is unplugged else it will stuck on 5%.
After you will have to rebrand back to L29C432 using HWOTA.

Oeminfo in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-rebrand-chinese-al00-mate9-to-t3554656 can be restored as a backup. That's probably the easiest way.
Alternative, copy and flash using dd.
cp /external_sd/MHA-AL00C00. bin /tmp/oeminfo.bin
dd if=/tmp/oeminfo.bin of=/dev/block/sdd5

Hi, I'm having a similiar issue. I can't flash any recovery using fastboot (FAILED: (remote: partition length get error). , I'm on emui 5.0.1 android 7.0 (phone works perfectly fine), is possible to flash TWRP recovery using DD? if so, how? it's my first time doing this with a huawei phone and I want to try oreo beta
UPDATE:
Bricked it, can't flash recovery, only fastboot, can't force update neither, any idea?

recovery is named recovery_ramdisk on Oreo.
So fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Make sure you flash twrp from the oreo thread.
If you're on Nougat recovery partition is named recovery, so:
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Twrp is in the regular twrp thread.
You can only use dd in twrp, not using fastboot.
If you tried updating to Oreo I would try both recovery and recovery_ramdisk.

Oreo updates

Thanks my dear friend I'm at beta oreo and it's running amazing but I think I'll have to go back to N so I can make new updates since Oreo doesn't have patched recovery yet.

@ante0 where or how do I flash oeminfo.bin? Via twrp? With a flashable zip?

You should be able to get updates if you are on the Oreo beta, update checks for stock recovery and won't update if you are on a custom or patched recovery, system update would just see you as updating from beta to release version, beta and release versions are both official ROMs so I don't think you would have any issues with updating as long as the device brand is the same.

plz help sir

I did what you have described above ... flashed oreo twrp successfully but when tried to boot into TWRP it never boots into TWRP ( only a screen appears having three options : 1. Reboot system now 2. Wipe data/factory reset 3. Wipe cache partition.
I'm neither able to perform wipe data/factory reset nor able to wipe cache( it goes to 40% and gives error)
Struck here for more than 15 days...any help will be highly appreciated.

You do have Oreo, right?
TWRP should fail to install if you don't have Oreo (unless you're flashing it to recovery and not recovery_ramdisk).
But it sounds to me like it's not installing at all, since you're ending up in stock recovery.
Make sure you use "fastboot flash" , not "fastboot boot"

Bricked Phone, Please Help!!

I am using the Indian model. I wanted to go back to 103.5 from 11.0.1 so I flashed the 10.3.5 zip but then I got stuck in a recovery loop and all the folders were encrypted. TWRP didn't ask for the pattern. I then flashed fastboot rom with the save user data option but the phone now is stuck rebooting to stock recovery.
Please tell me what to do, I don't want to lose my data. If I can somehow decrypt I can use my twrp backup to restore but if I wipe everything then I will lose that too. What to do

I don't think you have a chance of getting the backup back. But wait for others to tell you of there is a way

how do I know if the fastboot rom I downloaded is ok, it paused a couple of times during downloading, does it give an error if its not ok. Is it certain that the phone will work if I select clean all? I don't want to do it if there is any other option

Yes it should bring error if the file is corrupted. Regarding if it will work with fastboot clean all, YES it will, if that's the only solution then get the fastboot ROM and flash it with mitool, as you may know, don't select CLEAN ALL AND LOCK, only CLEAN ALL

From where did you get the fastboot ROM?

I used http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.3.0....FKINXM_20190711.0000.00_9.0_in_a1c0a15dec.tgz
Do they do anything different at the service center, will they be able to save my data?

Your data is gone. Even Service Center can't help you.

Use miflash tool to flash official recovery rom.

If you have the same 11.0.1 recovery rom somewhere, then try to remove the compatibility.zip from it and flash it from flash drive after mounting it in TWRP. I think that way, you'll get back to Miui where you can take your data back up.

Try adding a security pin in miui and then go to twrp, it should ask for the same pin and then after you get in, you should see your files (just guessing) . But to keep your data encrypted, AFAIK, only way to flash another rom is through flash drive.

Share all the steps you're doing considering you are in miui and wanted to flash.

I flashed 10.3.5 over 11. 0.1 but didn't wipe data. That made it bootloop to recovery

When you want to revert back to an earlier major version of MIUI, it is recommended to flash a fastboot ROM using the Mi Flash Tool and using the 'clean all' flash option.
