1. This should not be in the development section......
2. Boot to bootloader.
3. Does it say Locked, Relocked, or Unlocked?
4. Does it say S-On or S-Off?
5. Do you have v1.83 or 1.85 bootloader?
6. Select Recovery, what happens?
1. This should not be in the development section......
2. Boot to bootloader.
yes boot with volumen - and power
3. Does it say Locked, Relocked, or Unlocked?
Unlocked, i try locked again but nothing the phone still stuck, running the command fastboot oem lock.
4. Does it say S-On or S-Off?
s-off along a few months with the method juonot... with wire.
5. Do you have v1.83 or 1.85 bootloader?
show the version 1.85
6.- recovery
don't work when selected the option recovery the phone show the screen logo along 1 second and back to screen boot.
Next step would be fast boot flashing a custom recovery. I recommend wcx or twrp. Once youve done that, youll be set to properly wipe and flash the ROM of your choice

The only things I can think of that would cause this "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)" would be:
1. You got a bad download
2. Bootloader is not properly unlocked
3. Your recovery partition got borked somehow
Things I would try next:
1. Redownload the recovery image and try again
2. fastboot oem lock to lock the bootloader, then go through the unlock process again
3. fastboot oem lock, run your carrier's RUU, reunlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img (from ROM), boot to recovery, wipe data, system, dalvik, and cache, and flash ROM

the phone is unlocked. it shows unlocked status 3 or something. and no -w gives the same error (failed to flash partition).
i was wondering i dont remember if i had "allow oem unlocking" enabled in the dev options and now i cant access it. is there a way that can be a problem?

I doubt it, since you don't need to unlock it a little more.
You should check your USB cable, or try to switch to another port. But if the error still persists, you need to send it to repair.
I am sorry mate, but u might have to send it in for real
Maybe your nand memory is corrupted. Since ur phone just crashed for "no reason" and then got stuck in fastboot, it may be an indicator for that.
Best regards!

I BELIEVE once you tick it and unlock, it does not turn back off (allow OEM unlock)
But as said above, this option only allows the bootloader to accept the unlock command...
Best case is the internal storage got scrambled and your partitions/ partition table is corrupt/missing/gone, worse case and maybe more likely is hardware failure?
Not sure if you can send terminal commands, but next step is either just RMA or searching the internet for a way to manually rebuild partition table from bootloader?
I guess?
Sounds like it messed it self up pretty good somehow, sorry man.
I have the Moto Nexus 6 (xt1100) with TRWP installed no backup saved, OEM bootloader locked and no OS currently on the phone and i cant reflash nethunter or any stock roms through TRWP or fastboot. PLZ HELP ME OUT.
You could to install by adb sideload some full ota.
There is a Android N preview that could be applied by adb sideload, once you have access to your phone, you could unlock bootloader and apply any other rom

Push a custom rom to your phone and flash it in TWRP. Command: adb push namerom.zip /sdcard/, or sideload a custom rom in also in TWRP recovery. And don`t ever relock your bootloader again if you are flasher If you have enabled ENABLE OEM UNLOCK in developer options its best to unlock it first

He can't flash any ROM with a locked bootloader.
You should be able to fastboot flash a stock image, but if your fastboot isn't working then you're kinda screwed.
All I can say is give the fastboot flash another try, maybe from a different PC. Use method 2 in this guide to return to stock, then use the stock recovery to factory reset and boot it up

I tried Macon's method but i am still unable to flash the phone back to stock. The OEM bootloader is locked and i cant access it without an OS installed. Is there a way i can bypass the OEM bootloader aka hack/root the phone to reflash it?
It should work if you run these commands (with the phone in bootloader) prior to flashing the custom rom zip in TWRP:
Fastboot format cache
Fastboot format userdata

Sorry to hear that... The suggested method used to work for people unable to unlock their bootloader due to not having the setting checked in developers settings (if they had TWRP installed, of course).
I do believe you are screwed...
@lulzwolf: Contact Motorola and/or Google, because you screwed yourself by not leaving "Enable OEM Unlock" checked after you modified the firmware. There is no way to brute force the lock, unless you happen to be immortal. The encryption on the bootloader is sufficiently strong that you'll be dead long before a computer could successfully unlock it.
Lesson of the day folks: if you modify your Nexus 6, even if only to root it, leave "Enable OEM Unlock" checked! Yes, it will make your device less secure since a knowledgeable person can flash a factory image, but it's better than being permanently locked out of the device.
Just flash any rom trough TWRP. For god's sake, it even supports MTP. What's your problem?
@Lawstorant: Did you read the thread? His bootloader is locked, meaning he cannot flash anything.
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
It doesn't work that way. Locked bootloader only means that he cannot flash anything using fastboot, but he clearly said that he has TWRP. TWRP doesn't relay on fastboot (common knowledge 1) because it's a totally seperate thing, hence locked bootloader doesn't affect TWRP in any way. He can still do anything he likes. The simplest solution is to flash ANY rom trough TWRP and unlock bootloader with "Boot unlocker" app.
Locked bootloader means you cannot use fastboot, partitions are not unaccesible.
1. If you lock your Windows OS with password you can't acces it, but if you have Linux there's nothing that prevents you from browsing filse on windows partition (only encryption, but still, you can wipe it and put in, anything you want).
TL;DR You're wrong, go learn some more.
@Lawstorant, your attitude and tone need a bit of adjustment. If I am wrong, that's one thing. There is however no need to be a smart ass about it, especially with the TL;DR bit. It's juvenile, and uncalled for. That said, you are correct in that lulzwolf may not be totally screwed. Virtually everyone, including myself, has assumed he has to flash a stock image, but he really doesn't. We'll need him to answer one way or another, but the instructions to restore his device are as follows.
Boot into bootloader.
Use fastboot and issue the following commands: fastboot format userdata, fastboot format cache.
Reboot into TWRP.
Flash a custom ROM.
Unlock the bootloader, and leave it unlocked.
lulzwolf did in fact get at least as far as the two fastboot commands, but he does not say whether he got back into TWRP. Now that he has gotten the userdata and cache formatted he should be able to boot into TWRP and install a custom ROM. From there he should be able to unlock the bootloader.
So @lulzwolf, where are you getting stuck? You may not be done yet, as I erroneously assumed.
@Lawstorant: Did you read the thread? His bootloader is locked, meaning he cannot flash anything.

formating trough fastboot won't succed, because he needs access to these partitions. Why would anyone even recommend fastboot when bootloader is locked? He's better of formatting them trough TWRP.
TWRP is answer to all questions. I don't even know why he's tinkering with his phone if he can't figure it out on his own.
Ask The_Merovingian. He wrote the guide. I simply copied it from his thread.
However, you and I do agree on one very important thing. If he doesn't know what he's doing he shouldn't be messing about with his phone, period. He did say in his opening post that he couldn't flash ROMs through TWRP, but given what's been posted, there shouldn't be any reason he can't flash a ROM, except he has a bigger issue than not having the OS.
Ok so i have solved my problem by installing a custom ROM called "Cataclysm" through the TRWP recovery tool. My problem was I tried flashing to stock with fastboot when fastboot had no access to the partitions. so i used adb to push a custom ROM and installed it in TRWP.... BOOM it was fixed! so in conclusion we have learned that fastboot cannot access partitions while the OEM bootloader is locked but TRWP can. thank you all for commenting and helping me out, and hopefully this thread can help out others who run across this problem in the future.

Which is exactly what gee2012 suggested that you should do in the second reply to your cry for help. (And at least I assumed you had tried without success. Serves me right for assuming...)
Glad it worked out. :good:

I can't relock my bootloader. Haven't rooted or anything. I unlocked it, couldnt flash the kernel for root so gave up on it and wanted to relock my bootloader. Getting these errors:

fastboot: error: Command failed
Any ideas?

Are you sure the kernel didn't flash at all?
I'd recommend flashing a factory image and then trying to lock it just in case something went wrong.
If it still doesn't work is your device showing on CMD using "fastboot devices"?
I'm getting the error device already locked even though my bootloader clearly states that the bootloader is in unlocked. I just flashed the factory image for the phone and still same error. Any ideas?

hello i was able to get it to show up in fastboot devices but i am unable to relock...when i try to get it to relock it goes and says waiting for device even though its in fast boot mode.
I have a Huawei P9 and I rooted this previously and installed TWRP. Everything was fine and and just recently I flashed stock recovery so I can update my phone and relocked bootloader. When I locked it, it tried to restore to factory settings as it usually does and I get a prompt “wipe cache partition” or wipe something. I now can’t remember as I just absently tapped “yes.” And after that the phone was bricked. It tries to restore using eRecovery but always fails. I can’t flash through fastboot as the phone can’t be detected. Please help.

What was your last action before you went to (re)lock Bootloader:
a) Flashing stock Recovery, and in that case did you unroot and are you sure it was correct Recovery version for the stock firmware you were running
or
b) Updating Firmware, and in that case by which method did you update (OTA, eReovery, HiSuite, DLOAD, Firmware Finder + DNS, HWOTA...)?
What is your model L09 or L19, your cust c432 or else, what was your full build name/number (like EVA-L09c432b504 or what)?

I tried updating my phone using the dload method but it kept failing. I also used a lot of firmwares. Btw my phone is EVA-L19 and I live in the Philippines and got my phone here. I only used the Asia firmwares as I can't seem to find a Philippine specific firmware. I did not unroot before relocking the bootloader.

Before relocking Bootloader you must make sure that you have stock Recovery, stock Boot/Ramdisk image (that is, must be unrooted), stock Kernel (if you experimented with custom Kernels).
Unfortunately, if you didn't have, Factory reset as part of relocking Bootloader fails and may cause brick
Don't know what is the cust for Philippines/Asia and what are its latest firmware versions, and do they allow DLOAD installations (only firmwares named as FullOTA-MFPV on Firmware Finder can be installed by DLOAD, those with MF but without PV cannot be).
Btw, what is the cust for Asia you were flashing with, EVA-L19cXXX?
If eRecovery cannot recognize the phone model, it might be due your attempts to flash various firmwares by DLOAD
Can you boot to Fastboot and connect by Fastboot from PC (probably no more since you attempted to relock Bootloader, which disabled OEM Unlock and USB debugging):
- Switch off, connect by USB to PC, press and keep pressing Vol- and press Pow button.
If you could boot to Fastboot, there are Fastboot commands to read what the phone thinks it is its latest cust and build number, that can help to unbrick.
Also, it helps to DC-Phoenix (paid tool for unbricking)
PS: Don't know why people go for relocking Bootloader. There have been so many posts here and there with users who bricked their phones when attempting to re-lock Bootloader(because they had TWRP, they did not unroot, they had custom DOMs, etc).
Besides:
- Unlocked Bootloader DOES NOT prevent/affect OTA upgrades
- relocked Bootloader is different from originally locked Bootloader and Huawei service can still recognize that Bootloader was unlocked and relocked
- Some new stock firmwares automatically lock (not relock) Bootloaders upon upgrades
I can boot to fastboot but all of the tutorials I’ve read says that the bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to upgrade firmware or unbrick. And the only commend I can do in fastboot is “fastboot devices.”

As per your Fastboot - your Bootloader is still Unlocked
Hence flash TWRP for Nougat (from Fastboot) and use HWOTA method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
to flash EVA-L19C636B398.
It must be FullOTA-MF, it is explained in the link above what you need to prepare (HWOTA folder on the SD card, that contains three PROPERLY renamed update*.zip files that you must find and download by Firmware Finder, you can use FF on PC).
It can be any other NOUGAT stock firmware (not necessarily b398) but it must be for EVA-L19c636 (by HWOTA alone you cannot rebrand to eg c432) and it must be FullOTA-MF (or MFPV), usually 2+ GB, not some OTA-MF of only 300 MB or so.
You must use the same TWRP for Nougat that you will find in the post #1, from the same thread as above, where is HWOTA method describef in the post #3.
If you use Windows 10 on the PC, (by default it hides file extensions) make sure that you do not rename some of the three update*.zip files to have 'double' zip extensions like update*.zip.zip
In HWOTA method, TWRP will execute a shell script and files and folders must be named exactly as described in the given OP post, otherwise HWOTA method (its shell script) will fail to flash the complete firmware

People, this has been written in many other threads and posts:
- Before doing Bootloader relock or Factory reset, you must unroot, restore stock Recovery, otherwise it bricks.
You can try to reinstall by using eRecovery.
But since you still have TWRP, read my post #8, you have link and instructions to the HWOTA method.
Of course, I have described to the other user who has L19c636, you must flash by HWOTA for your model L09/L19 and your cust cXXX - I gave instructions in the posts #4 and #6 how to boot to Fastboot and which Fastboot commands to use to obtain info for your phone

It can be any other NOUGAT stock firmware (not necessarily b398) but it must be for EVA-L19c636 (by HWOTA alone you cannot rebrand to eg c432) and it must be FullOTA-MF (or MFPV), usually 2+ GB, not some OTA-MF of only 300 MB or so.
You must use the same TWRP for Nougat that you will find in the post #1, from the same thread as above, where is HWOTA method describef in the post #3.
If you use Windows 10 on the PC, (by default it hides file extensions) make sure that you do not rename some of the three update*.zip files to have 'double' zip extensions like update*.zip.zip
In HWOTA method, TWRP will execute a shell script and files and folders must be named exactly as described in the given OP post, otherwise HWOTA method (its shell script) will fail to flash the complete firmware

I followed all the steps and downloaded all files and put them into HWOTA and rebooted. Nothing happens. I tried Vol+, Vol-, and Power button to force to install files but I get install failed. BTW when I boot I'm always on eRecovery and cannot boot to TWRP.

Nothing can happen by itself
>> . I tried Vol+, Vol-, and Power button to force to install files
This is HWOTA, not DLOAD.
It's desrcribed in the HWOTA tutorial that you must boot to TWRP, and TWRP has Install tab where you choose Storage (SD card), Zip installation, and then select the script from HWOTA folder, and then Swipe to start flashing
>> when I boot I'm always on eRecovery and cannot boot to TWRP
I wrote you in the previous post that you must first install TWRP. Your Bootloader says it is unlocked.
You must install TWRP from the thread I gave you the HWOTA link - do you know how to install TWRP from Fastboot?
Have the HWOTA folder ready on the SD card, so that when you install TWRP from Fastboot, you must immediately reboot from Fastboot directly to TWRP, then navigate in TWRP to it's Install option and proceed by HWOTA installation as described in its OP post
I tried installing TWRP in fastboot mode using “fastboot flash recovery” command but it always fails. Btw I can only boot to eRecovery so the developer options and usb debugging that needs to be toggled cannot be done. Cause in all tutorials to flash TWRP, usb debugging needs to be toggled.

Please describe how flashing TWRP fails - what exactly does the Fastboot respond to the command.
Please copy/paste your command and the Fastboot response from the PC
And please upload also a photo of the phone Fastboot screen, what exactly it says on the bottom (Phone unlocked...)

From your Fastboot screen photo:
- Phone relocked (green)
Hence Bootloader is really relocked, but this is in contradiction to
>> Bootloader unlocked
what was reported by Fastboot interrogation from the PC side, post #7
Btw, you see that Fastboot screen says Phone (=Bootloader) relocked (it was unlocked and then locked) clearly distinguishing from the originally locked phone (Bootloader) ;-(
Fastboot also shows
- FRP locked (green)
which confirms that OEM is locked.
Btw, did you maybe locked OEM from Settings, Developer options before you went to relock Bootloader by Fastboot?
Unfortunately, you got what you wanted, the locked Bootloader and also locked OEM - but since the phone is bricked (you didn't prepare to have stock and unrooted firmware with stock Recovery before attempting to relock Bootloader), you cannot unbrick the phone now:
- Methods require to have or to flash TWRP (like HWOTA)
- Or to flash stock Recovery, etc:

- Or to flash no-check Recovery:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/eva-nocheck-recovery-flash-unapproved-t3705125
But you locked Bootloader and they cannot flash anything.
Because OEM is also locked, you cannot unlock Bootloader.
And you cannot boot to System to unlock OEM (on the bricked phone).
Btw, it was much more useful working phone with unlocked Bootloader and OEM (bothering with a Notice on the start screen) but available for unbricking (just in case), than now the phone with locked Bootloader and OEM albeit bricked ;-(
I hope, somebody else a wannabe with the relocked Bootloader will read this (they don't, every month or so another one does the same or similar and only then turn to XDA asking for help)

Anyway, you can try:
1) Download by Firmware Finder (from another phone, needs not to be Huawei, you can install FF from GStore to any Android) or from PC, EVA-L19c636b395 FullOTA-MFPV (package number #114776, 2.5 GB) as on the screenshot.
Try to DLOAD.
No guarantee that it could work (your phone remembers b398 and there is no MFPV with c636 but b398 or higher)
2) Try to rollback to Marshmallow, maybe it will allow you to do it by DLOAD:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/finally-downgrade-huawei-p9-android-t3868721
Once on Marshmallow (but with unbricked phone), update by OTA back to Nougat
Sorry, I don't know any other (free) method (all others require flashing, but you cannot since the Bootloader OEM are locked)
You can try paid services, people were able to unbrick (with locked Bootloader and OEM) by using their tools, but you must directly communicate over the Web links, pay them and ask for instructions:
