Huawei boot frozen - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hello
I bricked my huawei P9 lite after trying to install TWRP.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader. However it seems flashing the recovery failed.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ***.img
and so now my phone boot straight to:
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.
Your device is booting now
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the issues are :
- I can't boot
- I can't go into fastboot mode anymore,
- I can't use the 3 buttons methode (dload failed)
I tried a lot of methods and tools but none of them worked. So i was wondering if there was a way to rewrite the /boot partition with linux or something else.
Actually waiting the battery to be fully discharged
Edit: Battery fully discharged, can't boot into fast mode either. (Maybe it won't boot because my battery is too low?)
Edit2: After unlocking my bootloader my data have been wiped out, so the USB debugger is disabled => no fast boot
Thanks for your help

Solved?
It seems my phone came back to life suddenlly without any reason
The bootloader seems repaired...
I'll keep an eye on him

Softbrick achieved, need help

P8 Lite, I can boot into Fastboot&Rescue, normal boot gives a black screen after the Huawei logo. Recovery and force download from SD does not work.
I can boot into EMUI recovery by holding Vol Up in Fastboot, which gives me the options of Reboot, Shutdown and "Download new version and recovery" (which fails).
I tried the Unbrick steps from the Mega-Thread, and also flashed the Huawei P8 Lite version of TWRP to recovery - but it still only loads the EMUI Huawei eRecovery. Bootloader is unlocked.
Any ideas on what to do next before my girlfriend is going to kill me?
I tried everything in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/hand-fixing-bootloop-t3464740
to no avail. One thing I noticed is that the link given in the Fastboot menu links to a Chinese (?) website - http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore - I'm not sure if this is indicative of me having a device for the East Asian markets and if there are any software differences?
Sorry for the triple post - now I actually managed to boot into TWRP (the trick is disconnecting the USB cable before booting into recovery), I wiped everything, re-tried the flash all from the Mega thread, and it's still not working - Huawei logo is shown, then black screen/power off(?).

Hi, when you power on your device to boot into EMUI, does it just show the red Huawei logo, or does it also show the boot animation (the same logo dancing and moving on the screen and then becomes static)?

Just the very static image, it doesn't even go into the animation.
Edit: this is a newly bought P8 Lite, the Box says Android 5.0, don't know if relevant?
by now I've wiped stuff with TWRP more times than I can count, and tried manually flashing the boot, recovery, cust and system of b132, b170, b190, and b564 to no avail

Alright, so, since you can get into TWRP, inside TWRP go to Advanced > File manager and get this file: /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and paste it to the internal storage or the sdcard, then via USB paste it to your computer and upload it somewhere, I'd like to check it.

Yes, I found what I wanted, the kernel panics. What have you exactly done to the device? That would definitely help to know how to solve it.

I wish I knew! I tried to root it the same way I rooted my other P8 Lite, which worked fine in the beginning (unlocking bootloader) and ****ed up somewhere between pushing SuperSU to the device and executing it. Then I tried to flash stockrecovery.img back, and suddenly the device was broken. Next thing I did was follow the guide in the Mega Thread (I think resetting to b052) which didn't help either. Then worked my way through the suggestion in the other thread. :silly:
edit: judging by my google history, the problems started when the recovery returned a segmentation fault instead of installing SuperSU as it would've been supposed to.

This is suspicious, ADE is related to graphics, I don't really know how could that happen jsut by flashing a couple of things, but I'll look into it, I just need some time.

It is very nice of you to look into this! Worst case scenario, the device was broken from the start and has now lost its warranty (though I booted it up once without problems right in the beginning).
For the main problem - which is my gf - I simply factory reset my own P8 Lite and put the stickers from the new one on it. Now I don't have a phone, but at least I get to keep my relationship
ninja edit: checking my terminal history, I remember trying to fix the not-installing SuperSU by trying fastboot -w and fastboot format cache as recommended elsewhere, but both failed
Playing around with it again, it seems the only fastboot commands working are fastboot flash and fastboot reboot, everything else is giving a "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" error, even for things like getvar
flashing b564 allows me to get into stock recovery, will try dload update now!!
EDIT: IT WORKS!!!
Things I learned from this:
- it is important to flash right update version
- use dload if you can boot into stock recovery
- recovery will only be loaded if not connected via USB, otherwise EMUI crap will launch
- vendors do not always have correct information on device package!!

For unbrick, its easy if your bootloader is unlocked.
Just need time and flash few files by adb (downgrade)and update your device's to the android version you want.
If you want I have all the necessary files.
After your device's is like at his first boot.

Stuck at booting into custom TWRP recovery

Hello, this is not the first time I'm rooting an Android phone, and I had no problems with any of my past attempts. However, this situation with Huawei P9 EVA-L09 has given me a headache...
I have originally followed this guide:
https://theunlockr.com/2016/12/06/root-huawei-p9-p9-plus/
(which appears to have skipped tiny but crucial part on flashing twrp - so I don't recommend)
Everything was going fine until I have flashed TWRP on my still NOT-rooted Huawei P9 EVA-L09 (adb reboot bootloader ; fastboot flash twrp-3.1.0-0-eva.img) successfully:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (22462 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.639s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.302s]
finished. total time: 0.944s
After this I have used the command fastboot reboot and phone started normally. However when I try booting into custom TWRP recovery I just flashed and get the usual bootloader unlocked warning! I either get stuck at Phone is booting now... or I get into original EMUI Huawei eRecovery.
Did I do something wrong? What do I do after flashing TWRP?
I have read somewhere that original EMUI ROM maybe rewrites custom recovery if OS(ROM) boots before you entered recovery so could this be my problem? How do I reboot directly into TWRP from fastboot to avoid booting into the ROM?
Also, what is the correct way to boot into TWRP, what key combo? Since I get phone bootloader unlocked warning! right after powering on the phone, do I press the combination right away or after the warning shows up? I've been trying to boot custom recovery for hours, this is just silly...
Put simply I can't seem to get into TWRP I just flashed so I can install SuperSU from SD card to root my phone...
I have tried older TWRP version too, didn't help.
Phone is Huawei P9 EVA-L09, Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0, tried both TWRP versions from here: https://dl.twrp.me/eva/
After flashing twrp you should special reboot to twrp. Adb command reboot with pushing vol + and at the same time disconect usb cable. Check this on twrp official

How will I do anything with adb if I'm in fastboot mode? Only fastboot commands work...
Maybe you thought fastboot reboot and key combos, but which combos are correct? The TWRP official page says I should Google for key combo (how come they don't know lol, I guess they had to test the bloody thing?) and I have googled but some people say it's power down, some up, some both, what the f? When I think I got it right I get stuck on Device is booting now...
I've just tried this:
Flash TWRP 3.1.0-0-eva again over ADB
fastboot reboot + VolUp held and USB cabble plugged out
Stuck forever at Device is booting now... (below the Unlocked bootloader warning).
Ofcourse fastboot.

Solved this part by using this TWRP version:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703
The button combination to enter TWRP on P9 EVA-L09 EMUI 5.0 is - Power and Vol+ buttons held while fastboot reboot command is issued in CMD and USB cable unplugged, all at the same time. After device vibrates you should release only the power button. When you see 'Device is booting...' you can release Vol+ too. TWRP should now boot.
Now on to root...

After flashing EMUI 5.0 EVA-L09C432B378 and update B378_update_data_full_hw_eu and wiping my phone (wipe data/factory reset - yes this was probably stupid without backup or anything), it boots fine but there is no keyboard app, only useless voice control. This wouldn't be a problem if I could get past EMUI welcome screen and install keyboard.apk manually but it won't allow me to use the phone until I log into Google account which I used on the phone before factory reset. It doesn't allow me to access SD card or anything either, doesn't even ask for permission when plugged in. Flash process also rewrote TWRP recovery so I only have eRecovery atm (bootloader is still unlocked but this is useless at this point). I also cannot enable Dev options/USB debugging or reach phone settings (all reset to default obviously) at all because I can't get past EMUI welcome wizard without a keyboard... I can use dialer keypad in emergency call mode before starting the welcome wizard, for example I just checked my IMEI, but most other commands don't work.
Any ideas? I read that there is a rollback version which will enable me to flash the previous EMUI/Android6.0 version, but which rollback is right for my device European EVA-L09C432B378 phone? I don't want to get into more trouble by flashing a wrong file...

Hello, my phone is stuck now on the "Your device is booting now" state, can you help? I did exactly what you said above
sorry I tried to write it as detailed as possible when it happened.. only thing i recall is that I read that sometimes you have to try several times,
Maybe you thought fastboot reboot and key combos, but which combos are correct? The TWRP official page says I should Google for key combo (how come they don't know lol, I guess they had to test the bloody thing?) and I have googled but some people say it's power down, some up, some both, what the f?

I have the same matter here with my Huawei Nova 2i. I have flashed sucessfully TWRP but cannot enter TWRP mode to install root. When I hold Power + Vol+, it stucks on "Device is booting now..." forever. And for normal power up, it show the EMUI recovery. I've tried so many way but useless. [TWRP][P9][3.1.1-1][EMUI 5.x/AOSP N][DECRYPTION SUPPORT] by OldDroid did't help. Is there any version of TWRP can help my Huawei Nova 2i???

Hello
Thank you all for the help
I think I did something really bad... I have rooted phone and TWRP installed on a P9, but no ROM. I was trying to enter TWRP recovery and I did "fastboot oem relock XXXXXXXXXXX".
Now I see only the white screen with little andoid robot saying:
Attention!
Please update system again
...
Error!
Func NO: 11 (recovery image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Am I screwed ? :0
Thank you so much in advance

Don't understand why you thought that relocking bootloader would help you to enter TWRP, but it's too late for discussions about.
Relocking bootloader trigers hard reset, but hard reset fails if you don't have stock partititions (eg, TWRP means you don't have stock recovery, root means you don't have stock boot partition).
You didn't have and you don't have OS (hence you will not be able to Unlock OEM, and if TWRP was deleted, you can't flash it - TWRP is usually needed to recover)
You should first find out what you really have now :
Press power for long (if needed, even for half a minute), to make sure phone switches off. Make sure USB is disconnected. Boot by Vol+, Vol- and Pow: does it boot to TWRP, eRecovery or to nowhere?
Turn off again, connect by USB to PC (same USB cable, same PC you previously flashed TWRP from or locked/relocked your bootloader from). Power on by Vol- and Pow, does it boot to Fastboot and does Fastboot say that FRP and Bootloader are locked or unlocked.
If you still have TWRP (first test) or if Bootloadr and FRP are unlocked (test 2) in which case you can flash TWRP -you are good, you can try some methods to install stock ROM through TWRP, like HWOTA method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
If you have eRecovery, you can pull out SD card and pepare it for DLOAD instalation of ROM.
Bad if you don't have any recovery and FRP and/or Bootloader is locked. Maybe DC Phoenix can help you then

Thank you so much for your answer @zgfg
Thanks to you I understood that the phone was never really turning off no matter how long I press (I tried for 1 min approx), so I left it to discharge and when I plugged in I pressed the 3 buttons and it "boots" to EMUI eRecovery. Then I tried the download and restore but it failed of course. I reboot with USB and Vol- and Pow, and it loads the white screen with
FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE
Please Connect Usb Cabke ti
Your Computer and Open Hisuite
...
Android reboot reason:
coldboot
NA
volumnkey_down_press_process_func
...
PHONE Relocked
FRP Unlock
So I understand that I am in this case right?
"If you still have TWRP (first test) or if Bootloadr and FRP are unlocked (test 2)"
If this is the case I will try this method tomorrow. Thank you so much again!

With FRP Unlocked you can try to unlock Bootloader - it will fail to hard reset, but if it unlocks, you will be able to flash TWRP.
With TWRP you can try - download and use stock ROM for your model:

Are you on P9 Nougat?
Better use TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787111&postcount=1
Nevertheless, what does it mean you cannot access TWRP - does Fastboot on the PC side report successful flashing?
If so, then
- keep USB connected to both phone and PC
- press and keep pressing Vol+, Vol- and Pow on the phone (it will not reboot yet)
-execute fastboot reboot
and immediately after disconnect USB
-keep presing three buttons as above, release Pow when it shows booting
You must be quick (with USB disconnectibg) and do exactly as above - with that phone should reboot to TWRP
If you don"t get it, phone will reboot to System and you will loose TWRP (you will have to flash TWRP agai)
Only when you first time upon flashing enter TWRP as above, TWRP will remain and later you will be able to enter TWRP as usual
Solution
For anyone pretty much, who has ****ed up his Huawei P9:
I got to the state where I could only enter Fastboot mode (Press vol- and connect power cable). When I tried to start the phone / go into recovery it would only display the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" Message. My mistake was to relock the bootloader in an attempt to get the recovery to work.
I looked for hours for the answer, here is what worked for me:
follow this tutorial (the "update firmware" part)
German
English
But with real precision, every step.
If you have a european unbranded L09 you should be fine using the firmware you can find on this site:
https://thedroidguru.com/download-install-huawei-p9-b394-nougat-update-europe/
if not you gotta find the full firmware (3 files!!) yourself - good luck!
If you only want to go back to stock you should be fine afterwards.
If you want to install twrp for root/custom rom/... follow these steps after installing twrp with the tool:
Upon flashing TWRP, FIRST THING YOU MUST DO is rebooting to TWRP. If you don't do that, stock Recovery will ovewrite TWRP.
Find instructions in the TWRP threads how to enforce immediate booting to TWRP, upon you flashed it:
-Type on the PC: fastboot reboot -but don't press Enter yet.
-Press and keep pressing Vol+ and Power buttons together on the phone
-Press Enter on the PC and then immediately unplug USB cabel.
-When phone shows Booting, release Power but keep pressing Vol+. button
Hope this helps, I don't take responsability for anything, happy flashing!

P9+ in bootloop, keeps restarting, can't flash

Hi!
I've a problem with a P9+, it doesn't boot and keeps restarting everytime (stock phone, never change anything with this). I tried flashing stock rom with DC Phoenix but is unable to finish before the phone restarts.
Until now i was able to flash boot.img and recovery.img (by separate) but nothing changed, i couldn't flash system.img with success yet.
Details:
- the battery is dead, the phone only turns when connect to PC/AC.
- already tried the force upgrade method (with rom in sd/dload) but the phone restarts before it ends
- the BL is locked so fastboot commands doesn't work (and i can't unlock it despite having the official code because of the "OEM unlock" option not enabled on Android).
- DC Phoneix can bypass the locked BL but can't finish writing the .img on time
- i've already tried the eRecovery option too (fails) and wiping cache / reseting system
After 2 days "fighting" I'm almost out of options, any idea is welcome!
Thanks!

Huawei P9 lite VNS l31 , hard bricked?

Hello all,
First of all i readed a guide about recovering this devices. I had a P9 Lite VNS L31 and followed a guide that i needed to install a zip in TWRP in order to put the stock formware back on the device ( and it worked yaay ! )
Now my first device is in serious issues,I messed around with it big times; FRP and bootload are unlocked, and it also had TWTP installed but I cant start TWRP no longer. Also, if i unplug the device from the power, If i try to boot the device it says the battery is dead.
If i connect my phone to power and i do power + vol - buttons i get to the screen that my device has been unlocked and can't be trusted etc,

ASUS ROG2 SOFT BRICK

Hi ,
I have an ASUS ROG2 and I'm experiencing quite a problem here , I would like to know if this can still be rescue or not? or maybe I'm missing some steps here. here's what I've done so far.
Before it got to this dilemma my phone is suffering from autoshutdown so i rooted my phone using magisk and applied the thermal mode by one of the OP here. everything is working fine , the phone is not shutting down until today. it suddenly restart before me and it is stuck in ROG Logo.
what I've done.
1) i flash the stock boot img for my firmware version 2009.49 using fastboot flash boot 2009.49stock.img both slot A & B then followed by fastboot reboot so it can boot to system but it is still stock at the ROG Logo
2) i downloaded a RAW Firmware of 2009.49 , put my phone into fastboot mode. i made sure it was detected by the PC using the command fastboot devices and surely it was. i execute the flashall_AFT.cmd and waited , after it finishes my phone reboots but still stuck at the ROG Logo and here's the problem.
I reboot my phone into bootloader , scroll to Recovery after pressing Power button to select it , it boots and stuck at the ROG Logo at this point i'm confused since i need to factory reset it. so i downloaded TWRP for ROG2 Android 10 the one i usually use then i tried to boot from it using fastboot boot twrp10.img , it only boots and stuck at the ROG Logo again
3) I tried to flash a firmware using EDL mode , everything went well without any errors and there's the success message in Xiaomiflashtool , i reboot the phone to recovery and it is still stuck in ROG Logo.
any guesses? I'm kinda lost here since both RAW and EDL are not working.

You could try booting into TWRP 3.4.0-0 Q Unofficial by mauronofrio without flashing ( fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-I001D-Q-mauronofrio.img ) , then copy the zip over to root of internal storage, either 2009.49 or lastest 2012.65, from here. Be sure to check during flash which slot gets flashed first. Then repeat the process, booting twrp so that you can flash the other inactive slot. If you want to be sure you have changed slots, click on reboot in twrp and see which is active before flashing. Good luck
Hopefully flashing both slots successfully will do it. Let us know how you get on.

I used the TWRP you've linked. and i'm afraid that it is stuck on the rog logo again..
what i've done. ' fastboot boot twrpQ3400.img ' after i sent that command , the phone reboots and instead of going to twrp , it goes to rog logo and stuck there.
is there anyway i could check if there's partition? it feels like the phone has no partition that's why it is always going back to the rog logo.

Did you change the name of the twrp file? the fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-I001D-Q-mauronofrio.img cmd must have an identical name to the file, which as the original should be twrp-3.4.0-0-I001D-Q-mauronofrio.img
and just to be sure, you have the twrp img in fastboot folder, correct?

Yes i did rename it as twrpQ3400.img and yes also , it is in the same folder as my adb & fastboot folder enviroment.
i'll try a different approach maybe using QFIL? although i don't know where to start like finding the XML / Programmer or firehose..
any ideas?

Well i'm running out of ideas, never used QFIL so wouldn't know. since you cannot boot into twrp (i'm assuming you didn't relock bootloader? twrp won't work with locked bootloader), you could try this thread. be sure to use the supplied 1910.35 images as it tried and tested. read posts 1 and 2 at the very least, post 2 has useful steps
if successful, you'll then need to update 1910.64 before android 10 2004.60 to start with, then up to latest

yes , i didn't lock my bootloader since i can still see the bootloader unlock message.. i'm also running low in ideas , for worst it is a bricked phone at best. i'll check the link.
thanks for helping. i'll still update this thread to maybe update u as well.
edit: i checked the link , i already did the xiaomi flash tool approach on the link.. everything was a success with no errors... maybe i shud give qpst tool a try? although i'm not familiar using it.

did you remember to shut the phone down after successfully flashing, boot into recovery and wipe data, then reboot? as per the instructions...?

yes , ofcourse since the phone is in EDL mode the only way to shut it down is by using Power + volume up + volume down like around 15 seconds then phone will shutdown since the 9008 COM in device manager will be gone this means that it's no longer in EDL mode. i wait like 1minute before i power it up to recovery by power + volume down then scroll to recovery in bootloader. then with no luck still stuck to Rog logo..
it's like the recovery partition is gone...

Thanks man , i'm searching for the qfil approach but i'm getting a sahara error. currently searching for fixes
edit : i manage to boot the phone using the link you've provided by using QFIL approach and not thru XiaomiFlashTool
the phone boots successfully and i can use the recovery again ! although there's a problem , it can't read my sim card and everything is like stock android without any skins or what.. i used the RAW firmware to update it but the problem with stuck logo is back :/
gonna re-flash using QFIL and i'll check some more ~ maybe use TWRP and flash the firmware there no?
edit: the one from the link is not working , stuck at rog logo.. but the one from the internet i was able to boot to system but can't detect simcard , also when plugging to PC it will go to crashdump mode.
also can't flash TWRP will result in stuck at ROG logo :/
was able to boot the phone but can't connect to wifi and is locked by google frp :/ any guides i can follow to remove that FRP without wifi connection ?
Sorry bud, really not sure what's going on with your phone or know much more. Good luck with it tho

Actually, if you now have recovery, what about booting into twrp and flashing lastest 2012.65 zip from asus website, twice - both slots. see if that fixes your wifi issue
As you said using the QFIL approach worked to boot into system and recovery is back - boot to twrp from that state
