Bricked Huawei P10 phone by wiping system. Desperate to put Stock on it. (help :()

Dear All!
Here is one desperate guy turning to you because I see from some XDA posts, that you know about twrp and Huawei devices quite something.
At first, I don't want to waste your time. If you can help me, I will be happy to compensate it because I'm quite serious on this (and desperate as well).
I'm a beginner on Android rooting world, and in a nutshell, I enjoy just putting my Android device to the limits and enjoy using them to the fullest.
Bad thing, that I sometimes take too much risk and this time it ended with a (Soft) bricked phone.
The phone is from a rental company, that is why I'm so stressed to get it back and going.
So getting to the point:
Device: Huawei P10, VTR-L29C432B123
(C432, as I understand, is European version and it's important here)
Current state: Device is unlocked, rooted and with TWRP 3.1.1. (TWRP installed by this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/development/testers-twrp-t3585256 and rooted by this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/root-huawei-p10-p10-t3589946)
After installing TWRP and Rooting device I happily enjoyed using it for some time but
things went wrong when I started to try to put back Stock rom. (+ unroot and lock the device as well).
I tried multiple posts on the internet and didn't succeed. Unfortunately, FLashify and alike apps didn't work (or crashed after installing) on my P10, therefore, I turned to TWRP.
At first, I tried to install stock firmware downloaded from Firmware Finder but TWRP put out error:
E: unknown command [errno]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 9
Error installing zip '/external_sd/dload-draft/update.zip
Then I tried some other ways and turned to wipe section. Deleted Catches and data and then also system. This I believe f-ed things up and (of course) I could not boot anymore.
Can you instruct me on installing Stock rom for my device and get it back and running?
Thank you very much and please let me know if some more info is necessary!

@paratox @OldDroid @XePeleato @Dejan Kruljac Guys, if you could take a look on this and give me a direction - I would be enormously thankful!

As you found out Huaweis work a little different. I used this to rebrand my P10: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72140996&postcount=10
I guess you can also use it to debrick your phone.

You are welcome, but actually you must thank @crucky and @mankindtw !
I recently got the P10 after two Sony devices and a Samsung, so it was confusing for me as well. I am happy it worked for you .
Debranding is installing a rom for another region, another carrier or a change from dual to single sim (or the other way around).

He's right. My P10 had no os installed no recovery and the huawei e recovery wasnt working, this thing will fix the most bricked of phones. 10/10 would brick again. :good:

Would my phone work ?

edit : I have relocked my bootloader which leaves me no TWRP
Would this also work for me (VTR-L09)
I bought the phone from Vodafone Australia and I am stuck in erecovery right now, when I try to update through the dload using a FAT32 sd card the update.app won't even copy onto the sd card as it is larger than 4GB. When I try to do it using an sd card formatted to NTFS it stops at 5% and states "software install failed!"
Please help me on what to do... any help would be appreciated

I can assume that your memory is out of order.
I understood correctly, when you turn on the cubes? You did not flash board firmware?

Testpoint Mate 10 PRO (BLA)

Hello
This Testpoint Mate 10 PRO ( model
BLA-AL00 BLA-L09 BLA-L29 BLA-A09

Looks like a testpoint!

Hello brother. if im not wrong this Phone using HiSilocon CPU... does it have TP too?.. if it does what tool will i use to flash ?
Best Regards

pretty much all huawei hisilicon devices have a testpoint somewhere, most are documented if not just connect the device and short the most likely points until you find it. as for the best tool its probably currently DCphoenix

HI all,
I have a bricked Mate 10 pro (yeah boohoo), but I think it might be fixed using testpoint method and DC phoenix. However I'm unfamiliar with how the testpoint proedure works and some guidance is much appreciated. I have opened my device, found the tespoint and soldered some wire to it so I can ground it easily. But... I don't know what to expect and what should (or shouldn't) happen.
Can someone please explain:
- first, do I need special drivers?
- at what point should I ground the testpoint:
- with or without batery connected?
- with or without USB cable connected?
- while powered off, while in fastboot mode or while in erecovery? Any other mode is not working on my device, so no system, just fastboot or erecovery
- should I just ground it briefly and then release or keep grounded during the whole process?
So far I haven't had any luck getting DC Phoenix to recognise the device as in forced upgrade mode. Any help is much appreciated, as the DC unlocker crew haven't offered any help at all...
Rgds,
David

Unbrick BLA-A09
Can a Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-A09 US version be unbricked by using the test point method? I looked everywhere but only found the method for other versions. May someone guide me to the right direction. I attempted to research through the DC unlocker site as some of the forums refer to this site but from what I can see it only shows the other versions to be compatible. I also need a guide on how to do this process and were to locate the needed files thanks.

If DC Phoenix has the bootloader files required for A09, then sure. But I don't know if they do nor do I have an account to login to check.

Need help for Huawei P30 Pro, your device has loaded a different operating system

So my friend got the Huawei P30 Pro three days ago and everything was working fine until one morning it was stuck in a bootloop, it basically powers the phone then the messege " your device has loaded a different operating system " pops up and some other link below the text, then after that it goes to the Huawei eRecovery tab where it has the option to factory reset, update the emui and power off but, we tried updating the emui and a messege appears that " getting package info failed ", also if you try to power off the phone it just goes back to the first messege " your device has loaded a different operating system " . Factory reset doesn't work too. Anyone experienced the same problem or has a solution to it? I'm totally new to installing software to mobile phones so i would like a whole explanation if someone has the time. Thanks in advance.

Hi There,
I have the same problem. I did flash it with a wrong version. I ran that command here is my build number:
PCT-L29 9.0.1.169(C636E1R2P1)
I cannot find anyway to fix this.
Update: Thank you for the reply. That is the first problem that there is no free version. The second one is that these files are full-base version not the sd-base version. How can I convert the full-base version to the sd one?

Hi m8,
Did you flashed a wrong version cust of EMUI 10 on your Honor View 20 device?
Later edit - i've found the dload firmware for your device (EMUI 10) which is needed to be used to revive your device, but it's a paid one and i don't have an account in order to download it

Sent from my HUAWEI VOG-L29 using XDA Labs

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately , I flashed it with C434 and I was not aware of it that it can brick my phone. All the blogs I looked into, they were all mentioning the PCT-L29 not the specific version.
That is the first problem that there is no free version. Is there any other website that I can request to download this version?
The second one is that these files are full-base version not the sd-base version. How can I convert the full-base version into the sd one?
Another question that my version is C636E1R2P1 and the one you provided is C636E3R4P3. They have different regions of E1R2P1 and E3R4P3. Does that create any issue?

No, the dload firmware for your device isn't free on other site
You can't convert those files. What you've got is the update zip files that are used by HiSuite when there is an update available for you. But you can't use HiSuite, because you would need your device to be working...
No issues, if you managed to get that firmware, you can use it

Huawei P40 Pro soft brick (Reboot only)

Hello!
I wanted to install Google services on my HUAWEI P40 PRO C10E7R3P1. I decided to roll back the firmware via Hisuite.Proxy - I installed the els-lgrp6 firmware by mistake and got a soft brick. Now my phone is constantly restarting.
The phone turns on, works for a few seconds and reboots. The menu displays Imei - null. In the service menu (* # * # 2846579 # * # *) shows CUST - UNKNOWN. I also tried it via eBackup Wi-Fi, it gives an error. I Found service three-file firmware 10.1.0.114 (C432E8R5P2) dload via Recovery otg, which was recommended for 4pda, also gives an error. Through FASTBOOT and hisuite.proxy, I cannot find the files I need for the c10 region. More precisely, I found only PRELOAD els-n29-preload 10.1.0.1 (c10R6) on the FIRMWARE FINDER TO HUAWEI website and nowhere can I find the CUST C10 file.
I tried to install c432 (ELS-N29-CUSTC4321B6 (10. 1.0.6) and ELS-N29-PRELOAD 10. 1.0.1 (C432R6)), it gives an error during installation.
Please help me find a way

Hello. How do you unbrick it? is it remotely like anydesk or teamviewer? Do I need any kind of special cables? How much does it cost?
Sorry for so many questions

I think I killed my phone

I am in a terrible dead end as I cannot recover my phone. I accidantelly put the wrong firmware to my p40 pro and now it restarts after a couple off minutes not giving me the time to install Hisuite and try another firmware. I also tried the eRecovery but I got the "Get package info failed" message. Also I tried through USB to update the phone but it gets stuck at 5%. I hope someone can help me. Thanks

Sorry to hear but the only way to get it working again is going do Huawei service center for motherboard replacement.

There are paying tools I have access to, like DC's ones, which can allow you to force flash back the right packages from 'USB update mode'.
- I could fix you up remotly for a donation, PM me.
It seems to me you 'just' installed the wrong LGRPx base package for your device variant.

Happen to my device once and huawei service center replace the main board under warranty.

Try hard reset

You can search for the model and follow the steps on how to reset it I mean the hard reset.

Any idea what were the tools involved ?

A huawei cant be dead just installing wrong firmware.
There is no need to replace motherboard.
Can be recovered using paid tools

So far, it seems to me paying tools are failing on LGRP6 builds and on P40Pro+ devices without using physical testpoint mode.
When software testpoint mode just works fine on LGRP4 builds and P40Pro device.

Mrt dongle work fine

For anyone with a bricked phone, oslo83 helped me fix my bricked p40 pro, over remote connection. I downgraded to the wrong firmware, and it would restart after one min in android. Phone is perfect now, and Google services works great. Cheers.
