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.

Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Thanks for help! I tried but i dont' have factory reset option. All I have is Shutdown, reboot and "Download leastest version and recovery" and after I click that all it does is wants internet connection. I logged in to my wifi but it didn't work and I ended up with "getting package info failed screen".

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.

Unfortunately I can't help you further than what I already posted.
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.

Hello did you already test ???

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 )
Unfortunately, it's from a spanish forum. I didn't found any problem to follow this tutorial, but maybe for someone it could be a little difficult.
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.

Also i noticed everytime a OTA fails you get the full version offered on next boot. So you should get a full B164 aswell after it failed

Brick too Far? After oreo update and failed root, Impossible to get into recovery.

Today, I had successfully updated my L09-C432 (rebranded to L29) to Oreo. I decide to keep going and try to root using the magisk method present in the guide section.
During that process, I had several error, so I decided to flash the ramdisk. I all went downhill from there, impossible to restore any of the images I had on TWRP. Eventually I tried following HWOTA but for some reason. TWRP for oreo is not recognize by ADB on my system, I then decided to launch the upgradeoreo.zip according to this method as I had the files on my SD-card prior. Which led me to be unable to get into fastboot.
I am now left with the following error>
ERROR MODE:
Attention!
Please update system again
green android of death
Error!
Func NO: 11 (recovery image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
All I have left at this point is a functional fastboot,
I have tried:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
All of which complete successfully but none of them help me get forward. I am left with the same error.
All of which were extracted from the UPDATE.APP of the OREO update I had successfully completed on my phone.
Concerning TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (nougat version) fails.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (oreo version) succeeds but I am left with the same error.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (HWOTA8 version) succeds but left with the same error.
I have wandered the forums and tried a diversity of suggestion none of them seemed to work in my case.
What are your suggestion to fix this problem?
Any help you can provide is much appreciated.
I can probably find a way to pop my SD_Card into my laptop if necessary.

Same problem here, I have tried multi_tool 8 without any success. Maybe someone you can share a TWRP backup?

I was wondering if the dload method could be an option? Which firmware to use in that case?

There is Huawei official service ROM for P10 Lite and P10 Plus. Cannot find for P10.

Do you think the Funky Huawei unbrick tool would resolve this (($$$, but cheaper than a non-warranty repair...)
If so would I just use the circa 4 GByte update.app file from the update.zip firmware file, rather than the smaller update.app from update_all_hw.zip?

I tried the dload method that is a no go. Besides the other option DC-phoenix (which is a pay mehtod as well ) I feel like these are our last resort.

And yes you should use the 4.3GByte update.app file. Are you trying the tool? If so, let us know how it works out! It is the next step for me.

Well, I coughed up the cash to FunkyHuwawei and have made some progress....
After using their unbrick tool, I now have access to eRecovery, and am pondering the best way to fully flash the ROM.
The Funky Huawei eRecovery method doesn't seem to work (I did change my router's DNS as instructed), and I'm hesitant to try the manual update method again given the issues people seem to be having with it.
Any suggestions?

Well I guess I am going to fork up the cash too. ($100 in one day for him, not bad eh?)
Can you restore TWRP? maybe you can follow the HWOTA method without the first couple of steps? Also, can you not recover using the dload method then or just download the software from the recovery?

Well I can confirm, the fix worked splendidly, it got me in erecovery where I was able to delete the userdata (unfortunate but perhaps necessary).
Then a couple of reboots and I am back in an Android. So happy!

So it looks like the unbrick tool actualy installed the full ROM correctly - I can't have been giving it enough time to boot.
However the first time it booted the DPI was screwy just as it was after I mistakenly flashed the P10+ Oreo ROM (maybe the data partition hadn't been wiped). But a quick factory reset and all's well, and I'm over the moon to have rescued my phone with a little (i.e. lot) of help from FunkyHuawei - and a bit of cash.
Now to decide whether I want/need to risk rooting again...

Rooting is where it all went to **** for me. I am staying the hell away from it until a lot of people confirm it works fine!

Are you having only limited functionality as well? It seems like we have to reinstall the update data file as well as the update hw file?

Limited in what respect? Mine seems fine so far - the radios work (cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth) and the system and the few apps I've tried so far are working as expected.

The notification toolbar is gone? Is that normal? Did i miss out on android removing them?

Nope, my notification toolbar is working.
A factory reset fixed some weirdness for me, but you said you'd wiped userdata in eRecovery which I guess has the same effect?

used the dc-phoenix tool with the one part Update and now my phone is back (= it is worth it 20 bucks because i have now 3 days for testig and rebuilding (=

Go to rescue mod, you plug in your device in computer, and hold vol down and pow button, than you go in rescue mod, and use fastboot to repair your device.

Can confirm DC-Phoenix and only for 20eur.

How many people bricked their phone while Rebranding/OTA and what solutions used ?

How many people bricked specifically hardbricked their phone after 2018-04-16 updates,while OTA or rebranding using any tool and choose which methods you tried to solve.
we need to show how many people we are,and seek for solution or encourage BOX groups to do something for this matter.
Even huawei may help us if they see we are bunch of people.
Edit: Just comment only if you solved the issue with this tool or any other tool that is not mentioned,here we are seeking help.

The only versions that will brick (so far anyway) are BLA-L29C636B137 and ALP-L29C636B134 from 16/4, neither is a noxloader version.
Bricks occur when you update/downgrade/rebrand FROM those 2 firmwares.

I bricked my Huawei Mate 10 too
Please help.. I also bricked my Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L29C636...
I installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8_Mate10 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 ROM was from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636E2R1P8B108-log (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues at all but since Huawei Mate 10's EMUI 9.0 is still in Beta, I decided to switch back to the stable EMUI 8.0.
Here's where the problem started... Since I want to downgrade, I went ahead and downloaded the 3 needed files (update.zip, update_all_hw, update_data_public) from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636B143 (8.0.0.143). I fired up HWOTA8_Mate10 and started the installation process. The first step was to boot to fast boot and then plug the device, after that, the software asked me to unplug the device and press volume+ and power button but the device won't boot to recovery anymore. The device is now stuck at "Your device is booting now..." I tried rebooting the device but it won't work. Tried to go to eRevovery to wipe cache/factory reset but it will go back to "Your device is booting now..." page. I tried reinstalling the recovery.img via fastboot and tried to boot to recovery mode again but it won't work anymore. I believe my device is now soft bricked . I can still boot to fastboot, I even tried fastboot flash system system.img which was successful but the device still won't boot. Please help how to recover my device. I think I went too far and now I don't know how to fix this issue.

your problem maybe is because magisk, try to install in twrp "magisk uninstaller". or try to install via twrp, recovery_ramdisk.img, kernel.img and ramdisk.img from the last rom of android 8 (extract with huaweiupdateextractor), then install via twrp with hrupdater 0,4 the same update.zip that you extract the kernel.img, recovery and the other img that I told you.
look at the guides of the preocesses that I told you, if you have any question let me know

If the update process didn't even started, you need to flash stock Pie kernel, recovery_ramdisk and system, using fastboot.
This should get you back to a working OS.

I see. I only tried flashing the recovery_ramdisk and system.img. I will try it later and I will let you know if it worked.

as far as I can read, I think he wants to come back to OREO, so he has to install first recovery_ramdisk.img, kernel.img and ramdisk.img from 8.0.0.143 (extracting those files with huaweiextractorupdate) and then flashing those files via fastboot or your twrp version. Then, he has to use hrupdater 0.4 to install 8.0.0.143
Am I right Pretoriano80?
please, fell free to correct me if i have commited any mistake
PD: MANDATORY TO HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER FOR THE PROCESS

No, first he has to recover the current OS, and my advise was only for that.
Then he will need to use a TWRP + NoCheck combo, to get back to Oreo.
HuRUpdater can't get you back to Oreo so you guys should stop using that with Pie.

Mate 10 Pro BLA-L09
I also installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues too. After a while I decided to switch back to EMUI 8.0. using also HWOTA8 I put three zip files with EMUI8 (update.zip .....). Update ended with error. That's it.
I only have fastboot working but I am able to flash only few partitions System.img, Recovery_ramdisk.img, Kernel.img. I tried to flash them many times - nothing.
Couple months ago I messed up with my phone and I had to buy and use DC-Phoenix. It worked for me then. This time did not because DC-Phoenix only support EMUI 8. They refunded me money I paid for - that's good thing but my phone is still bricked.
Then I've found MultiTool for Huawei
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
It shows that

(Firmware 9.0.0.108,device bla-l09,no serial number, no IMEI and battery status 0)
HiSuite says device is not supported.
Is there any way to force HiSuite to recover not supported device?
Anyone knows the solution?
I booked my phone for repair with Huawei Service.

It should be possible to recover your phone.Tried to flash Pie B108 recovery_ramdisk, kernel and system with fastboot?

I have tried. I flashed Pie 9.0.0.108 - nothing, 9.0.0.112 (chinese ver) - nothing. I tried BLA-L09 8.0.0.148(SP1C432) - nothing.
After flashing recovery_ramdisk, kernel and system of all above firmware there is no change only fastboot is working.
The problem is that downgrade process from Pie to Oreo went to 95% ( I thing - I don't remember exactly but for sure it was 90 something). It could have changed most of partitions to Oreo but left one or few unchanged (like verlist.img, xloadr.img, vendor.img, product.img).
From fastboot I am able to change (flash) only few partitions.
Do you gays know any other tools like dc-phoenix to force to flash all partitions. (Couple months ago when I used DC Phoenix with Emui 8 it used backdoor to flash difficult partitions.)
Example:
Writing XLOADER partition with file X:\Install\Telefony\Huawei_Mate_10_pro\DC_Phoenix_v50\XLOADER.img
XLOADER partition UPDATE ...FAILED
Cannot get FBlock info from device
Activating backdoor: DONE
Writing XLOADER partition with file X:\Install\Telefony\Huawei_Mate_10_pro\DC_Phoenix_v50\XLOADER.img
XLOADER partition UPDATE ...OK

So you're typing a little erratic.
Can you get to eRecovery? This is your best option..
If not then you'll need to reflash all the parts of the OS back to the phone manually..
Beyond that you'll need a recovery method, not sure if it's a device of a program but it can usually help, depends on what is borked.

i can get into erecovery i cannot download the official and flash it throught there says error.. what else i can do
I cant understand what yyou saying here Beyond that you'll need a recovery method, not sure if it's a device of a program but it can usually help, depends on what is borked.
I get into Erecovery if i press download latest version and recovery after some times when i put the wifi pass says error. Error i got also on HIsUite when i tried to format from there and download the latest versio. So we go manually but HOW? i tried almost everything

i tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/how-to-how-to-unbrick-clt-l29c432-t3878714
success all command went trhough the phone
the problem is i cannot flash twrp
my phone has unlocked bl

well i did a lot of search if you ask me i download 5-7 different programs that can flash stock firmware. ONE seems to be legit for 9.0 RE-flash 9.0 which has commands on its script like this guy says and he helped me too
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/how-to-how-to-unbrick-clt-l29c432-t3878714
also if someone cant boot into twrp after the frist steps and see the erecovery just format everything from erecovery and then it will boot to twrp.
also now says installing update.
i hope imeis serial numbers etc wont lost..
Thats the script i found i dont remeber where
http://prntscr.com/mitvum
but i can upload somewhere the files
if you run FLASH.bat and says MISSING ZIPS then remove the update."zip" {ZIP PREFIX FROM THE NAME OF THE FILES ONLY} and run again the bat
the procedure may take 10-30 mins

What about the otg method?
Also I would never use a tool like this.

I can't root my phone! 9.1 version

Hey guys,
My phone stuck during an update and I fixed it by a hard brick method-test point, so becuase I formatted it there is no files ?
I didnt find any twrp for huawei mate 9 pro Lon-L29!
I tried Magisk, kingoroot, and many programs plus applications that can root it, but nothing!
Is there any way to root it?
Its a 9.1 android version!

If you rooted your phone using magisk, you need to boot into recovery mode to have root access. You have to do this every time you restart your phone.

Hi, but the problem that there is no twrp for this phone so I cant root it with magisk, because when I tried to install the latest version of magisk it told me that the file(zip) is not supported!
I've searched in many websites but there is no solution!!!!

You don't need TWRP to root your Mate 9 Pro. I've had my Mate 9 Pro for over 2 years and always had it rooted but never had TWRP installed.
Follow this guide to root:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9-pro/how-to/rooting-emui-9-0-1-t3913830
More details on installing Magisk and rooting without TWRP can be found here:
https://openkirin.net/

Thank you, I tried this method but it didnt work, I extracted update.app and after I got RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img I did this
"To patch yourself recovery_ramdisk and root with your own file:
3.a) Patch your *.img, that you have copied in any folder to your smartphone by pressing "Install" --> "Install" --> "Patch boot image" in Magisk Manager.
4 Transfer the patched file (You will find it in your download folder of your smartphone. It will be called "patched_boot.img".) to your PC, start Smartphone in fastboot mode and flash"
But there is no file in this name "patched_boot.img", I saw magisk_patched.img, and I flashed it in fastboot, but nothing!
I think if there is anyone who can root it he will be such a hero because there is no solution in google!!!

You did the steps correctly so far.
If you have flashed the correct patched_boot.img then you need to reboot your phone into recovery mode and select "Factory Reset" and I know it sounds like a joke, but it is the way you have to do it.
If you have flashed the correct patched_boot.img correctly, you need to select "Factory Reset", the phone will pretend to be resetting, but will boot into rooted mode. If you have flashed the patched_boot.img incorrectly, your phone will reset to factory settings and you have to restart the root process.
The magsik root method for the Mate 10 Pro works for Mate 9 Pro, look in their thread and you will find all the correct steps where the explain the "factory reset" trick.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-magisk-root-mate-10-pro-t3886967
PS: You cannot use files for the Mate 10 Pro.

There is no patched_boot.img in the extracted update.app(new versions dont have it I think), but I found RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and I patched it by Magisk and then I used fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_ RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img, then>reboot to recovery mode>FR
But with no success!

You get the patched_boot.img when you run the extracted RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img through Magisk on your phone.
You have to extract the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from the update.app that matches your phone's software version.
Follow the guide here. (Whenever they mention RAM_DISK, you have to think RECOVERY_RAMDIS *RAMDIS not RAMDISK*)
https://openkirin.net/user_guide/how-to-install-magisk/
When they tell you: fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
You have to type: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img

OMG
I dont believe that I succeeded!!!
My phone is rooted now!!
I did the steps again, in the end I did a FR and reboot, then I was shocked when I saw "your phone is rooted"!
I really thank you soooo much
Now there is a serious question :
Is there any option to recover files( doc, pic, vid, aud) after a hard brick and new version and FR???
I tried more than one program and app but they found nothing!

I'm glad you made it.
I have learned over the years to use cloud back up for my important files and never EVER get attached to files stored on the phone. Last time I formated my phone I lost about 5 gig of hand picked mp3s that I now have to hand pick again.

Thank you,
then I see that there is no hope to restore some of them? because I restored most of them from GDrive, but I didnt see all the videos and there is no docs!
