I Soft Bricked my P10 - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

So, I tried to update my P10 (like an idiot) and obviously failed leaving me in a bootloop, I can access fastboot and recovery, but nothing else, I have an unlocked bootloader too, what can I do to solve this? My P10 is the VTR-L09C605B166 variant that I tried to update to the B210 version (Oreo) I just want a real fix I didn't try anything because of the fear of breaking my phone even more, and I don't know if a technician will help me because of my unlocked bootloader and the warnings that appear, please help, thanks in advance.

Are you able to install and boot twrp?
How did you try to update?
For twrp you can use my guide.
You can easily check if you're on Oreo by using fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP.IMG". If it shows a partition length error, you're still on nougat and need to install a nougat twrp with command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.IMG".
When TWRP work you can proceed with my guide.
But I need to say: without any warranty.
Everything you do can cause a brick even if it should be safe.
Other solution is to try to relock your bootloader (you need your unlock code!) and try a factory reset or restore with eRecovery - this is the official way and works only if nothing is modified in the system.
BTW: B210 isn't Oreo, I think.

B36(X) are Oreo builds.. You must have downloaded some unreleased software :/

Ok I need help in this part, just installed twrp for nougat, but the version of my phone just shows the OTA update not a FULL OTA, what do I do? And I cant seem to find a Oreo update for my region (C605) does the region matter?

Well, f*** and what BXXX are official nougat builds?

This should be the right Oreo version:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G2323/g1699/v113112/f1/full/update.zip

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...l/VTR-L09_hw_la/update_full_VTR-L09_hw_la.zip
It's VTR-L09C605B321 FullOTA-PV.

Can you enter in eREcovery?

Hello, I am in the same situation as the guy above: I can access fastboot and recovery and my phone is unlocked - I have Nougat VKY-L09C432B185...
Can I follow your guide with a Nougat phone?
Thank you
P.S.
I tried to install update.zip via TWRP but I got the "Error 9" error

You can try it. The recovery within my archives is from VKY, so it should work. The devices are kinda similar. Just download the right firmware for your model (VKY) and region (Cxxx, like C432), and also FullOTA.
It can be possible that my script doesn't work with your phones partitions. If so, please post the TWRP output, then I'm able to rewrite the script for you.
You can do it by yourself if you know the partitions for recovery and recovery on you device.

Hi. I can't access recovery. Phone is completely off. I connect to USB and computer recognizes de phone USB SER. I hard bricked. It happened after I upgraded to oreo version. It shut off and it never turned on again. I tried power +vol. Can't get aceess to recovery just black screen. I appreciate if you can help. Thank you

Stuck in Oneplus logo. Can't access recovery. Fastboot working.

Hi everyone.
I was trying to flash Nitrogen OS. First I flashed the latest firmware, then the actual rom and then GAPPS. After that my mobile got stuck in Oneplus logo without being able to go into recovery mode.
I tried using fastboot to flash the files in this thread(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306) which worked once, but even after that I can't surpass the logo screen.
I've been trying to look for information but I can't find anything.
To clarify:
- I already tried erasing userdata and cache from fastboot
-I already tried flashing recovery images from twrp, stock and bluspark
Thanks in advance guys.

Which TWRP are you using? Which firmware are you flashing? You can't access recovery at all? I've run into plenty of bricks like this and I'm usually able to get back to recovery by forcing the device off (vol up + power hold) and rebooting back to recovery. and if that doesn't work I can at least get to the bootloader and re-flash a recovery file.

I was using last bluspark recovery. I was flashing OB21 when everything happened.
There is no way I can access to recovery. I tried reflashing the stock recovery from that unbricking thread with all the other things through fastboot and I can't boot into recovery at all. It is the first time I face this error so I am lost.

okay, well what I would do is boot into the bootloader, and then reflash the blu_spark recovery via adb so you can boot into it. then wipe everything and restart. but this time I would try the OB 20 firmware and not the 21. when I was on NOS I used that one and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I flashed the firmware both right before and right after flashing NOS

make sure that recovery img file is in the platform-tools file (or wherever your adb files are) and see if that works!

I mean idk if you wanna do this, but you could always try to "format userdata", then flash the stock recovery, and then sideload OOS. but you would lose all of your data in your internal storage, and it's still not a guarantee. there are some posts about doing a full wipe and starting from scratch. I'd look into those. Best of luck reviving your OP3T

I already post a lot of information on the first post:
Mobile not passing the first time Oneplus logo appears.
Only fastboot is working, not adb, not recovery.
I already tried flashing other recoveries and the stock one->Can't pass Oneplus logo anyway
Tried formatting userdata through fastboot and flashing the .img files from my first post->Not working
Then just do the Qualcomm restore and unlock, boot to fastboot and flash the latest TWRP. Then boot into TWRP and format cache partitions, system and data and then adb sideload using this option under TWRP advanced to flash firmware zip, NitrogenOS zip and then 8.1 Gapps and try booting to see if same thing happens again. You are using the NitrogenOS stock kernel and not some other?

What do you mean by the Qualcomm restor and unlock? I already tried the flashing of latest TWRP and it did not work.
I was coming from Validus last beta but did a previous factory reset and that stuff.

What he meant is probably unbrick tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306
Try flashing official firmware with it and then try again by flashing TWRP and flashing Nitrogen.

I can't install the drivers:

None of that answer what he actually asked, which is: what was the output (error message, result, etc.) when you tried to flash TWRP?
Did it flash successfully, but still can't boot to TWRP? Or else, what was the exact error message?
In general, when asking for help and giving status, be specific as possible, and give as many details as possible. Saying you "tried xxx" or "it did not work" is not specific enough.
Seems silly, but I've seen a lot of times where it's as simple as the user not using the correct command or entering the right file name.

There were no errors when flashing TWRP. When I tried rebooting using fastboot(fastboot boot recovery.img) it got stuck in the message saying booting up... and the only thing that changed was that my phone left the bootloader screen to a screen with the Oneplus logo and a fastboot mode message under it.
The command I used was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(Name of the actual recovery file)

It's possible to remove and recreate partitions? i cant flash nougat, cuz partitions like... "recovery" "boot" doesn't exist( in oreo boot.img = ramdisk.img, recovery.img = recovery_ramdisk.img) ehh
Did you try this?
If TWRP works than this should work, too.
When you're on Oreo use Tutorial #2.

I clicked this file, looked like it was supposed to be installed but I knew the phone has been rebooted too fast.. and I was right, after reboot didn't install update from eRecovery, just start twrp and that's all..
You need Update.APP 8.0.0.360 decompile, use 3 img files, boot, system, vendor, and use fastboot commands.
I said, i tried many methods and no one was good. I flash correct .IMG's via fastboot ( by information from cmd of course ). After flash i reboot to recovery( twrp) and I saw, in partition /system takes some GB so i tried to boot normally but still didn't work, 1st information after reboot - "DEVICE IS NOT TRUSTED" or something like that ( cuz bootloader is unlocked ) after few seconds, system should boot, but it's stuck for while on 1st screen like I said, and then did reboot to eRecovery so..
It's possible to damage bootloader as much.. ?

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.

did you tried huawei pc app (hisuite)?
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

I think you should use my TWRP + NoCheck recovery and try to flash the Pie beta again.

flashing rom via TWRP with frp lock?

Hi, I'm in a bad situation. My honor 9 lite (Europe) has no OS, frp lock. But it does have TWRP installed.
My question would be, since I can't flash an OS (given the frp lock) via fastboot, would it work via TWRP? Or should I just give up and buy a new phone?
Thanks a lot.
Best
Since you have TWRP, try using HURUpdater tool. It is compatible with H9L.

Hi,
thanks a lot for the tip. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error when flashing following the instructions.
I discovered that nonetheless I can flash roms with TWRP. There is one particular rom, this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/rom-t3753555 that works particularly.
However, my device with that rom keeps giving me an error "bluetooth keeps stopping". Any way to solve that?
I really don't know a solution.
Can't you enable OEM unlock in settings/developer options? so that to make frp unlocked?
Yes.
After that, I was able to finally flash stock rom
However, there's a new issue: wifi doesn't work. It actually seems like whatever rom I flash, wifi won't work the slider turns off as soon as I turn it on
Did you wipe data/factory reset through eRecovery after flashing? That is important in most cases!

No I did not. I think I used TWRP to do that. Will do with eRecovery next time and update you
I am still without WiFi.
I think the problem lies in the fact that my stock ROM comes from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/how-to/guide-unbrick-device-recover-bootloop-t3772563
I had oreo 8.1 before brick, and the rim above that I flashed is 8.0 and Indian version (not european). That maybe could explain the issue.
Problem is, I would need a system.img stock ROM to file and I can't seems to find that. In Huawei firmware finder, I only get update.zip kind of files and TRWP returns error when flashing that or when I use the HuRUpdater tool.
Also, I've noticed it's not just the WiFi, but also security options and themes for some reason
you need a working frp image which in twrp can flashed via dd... so the frp lock is gone...
In telegram group you can find image.

The system.app file you search for is in the update.zip file you get and you cannot flash update.zip directly from twrp, you need HuRupdater for that and the dload method doesn't work for almost anyone including me.
And you need correct the firmware for your motherboard if you want your phone to work properly.
First tick oem unlocking in developer options. Then unlock fastboot and flash TWRP.
Since you are able to boot up check your varient, the complete one not just the LLD but the rest too. Search for it in Huawei firmware finder and download the latest firmware for your model. You'll get 3 links and you'll need all three.
Download HuRupdater 0.3 zip and then rename the 3 files you got as told in the HuRu instructions. get twrp image and rename it to recovery.img and put all files in the same folder.If you want to completely revert to stock you don't have to have recovery.img but keep it just in case.
Then flash HuRupdater using twrp. You should be up and running if you did everything right.
You can then remove the recovery.img and then flash again using HuRupdater and relock the fastboot too later if you wanna play things safe using fastboot relock bootloader 'your code' .
please help me, honor 9 lite last night my flash rom forgot the data format so now can not boot into the operating system, locked FRP, can not enter the TWRP.
Hello, I know it's been a long time. I put the issue aside for a few months as I had another phone to use in the meanwhile just wanted to let you know i Just did the procedure you described and it worked perfectly! The phone is back to life :laugh:

Have you flashed Pie rom of GSI or EMUI based? If its EMUI based some partitions have changed from EMUI 8.0 to 9.0

First off starting another thread about the same issue is never a good idea and is not in keeping with forum etiquette . https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/help/how-to-repair-ramdisk-partition-t3923406
IMHO you will not repair this phone without testpoint flashing using IDT and board software.
Google it, not too hard but not for the feint hearted either, requires opening the phone to 'earth' the testpoint for flashing.

I guess you are right the only way to fix this is to flash test point...................... my phone is still under warranty period.......... should I sent it to them or should I get it open and repair from local shop?
and how can I delete my duplicate thread
Ask a moderator to remove it.

I tried but it did not worked
I send it to honor repair service center and now its good as new again :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
after sending it to honor service center the phone is back to life and working fine but I noticed that both imei number and Serial number are changed and bootloader is locked again. My previously saved bootlaoder unlock code is not working to unlock bootloader. What could be reason behind changing the imei number and serial number ? does anybody knows about it?

More than likely they just changed the motherboard, same case but different guts, so to speak.
Cheapest and fastest way out for them.
