Hi guys
i dont know what happened but while i was updating (Official one) the phone, after successfully updating it never turn on :crying:
Now
1. No display
2. No Recovery mode
3. Just fastboot mode
check the attached image
one more thing battery voltage shoeing 0
help me

hi,
If you had this because of flashing recovery, you might still be able to flash stock.
For that, take an sdcard, make a folder dload and put a file called UPDATE.APP there.
insert the SDcard, put the phone off and then:
- make sure there is no cable connected (google the modes, it's needed to load from SDcard).
- then boot holding power and both volume up and down
Some hints for procedure and ROM links:

I restored Android 6 by using the stock image I found somewhere.
Seems the trwp on the official site for nemo does not work...

Need Help. ADB, Recovery and Fastboot/Download Mode don't work

Hey xda community,
last night i run into a tricky situation.
First, I explain what I did
I bought me the P9 EVA-L09 via Telekom Germany.
cause i don't want the Telekom **** on my device i decide to TWRP, Root, and flash P9 stock Rom on it.
Unlocking and install TWRP with the SRK Tool works fine. Install the Root was a bit more tricky, because windows lost the correct ADB connection when i go into TWRP Sideload Mode. Because that does not work, i decide to flash the P9 Stock ROM without Root to come forward.
While flashing, (i don''t now anymore which method i choose to flash) an error appers, and the flash process canceled.
The Device don't boot anymore. After a loot of googeling and testing, i've found out that the problem was the encryption of the /Data Partition.
TWRP was unable to mount it, same for the /cust and one more.
After reading about other Methods to get the Phone work again i try this Method i've found on xda.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
Unfortunately the "press all buttons on the phone" Method don't work.
I also tried out the Huawei Update Extractor to flash single image files to the partitons of the phone. I used the dload file form the previous Method

Download from xda huawei update extractor and extract img files from the update.
Turn off the phone, then press vol- and power key, you are in fastboot mode.
Then, flash img files from extracted rom with:
Fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
And do the same with the others...
When you finish, fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But that don't work. fastboot already replies with "Remote Command not allowed"
i changed the Method a bit. I've put the BOOT.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG an an SD card and flash it via the Install IMG Funktion of TWRP.
That workes very well and expect the /data partition every partition was mountable again.
Then i used the "Fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG" again, and tada it works without errors.
The device is booting again to Android, but it reports that the /Data Partition Decryption failed and i have to enter the Recovery Mode and do a factory reset to unlock the partition. If i reboot for get rid of this error the phone does not boot into the Recovery, it boot to the eRecovery which is useless for that because it only provide the eRecovery function instead of also a normal factory reset (how dump is this )
Now the state is, phone boots normal, reports the /Data is not decryptable, reboot to eRecovery, shutdown or reboot. It does really nothing else.
I can't get into the Fastboot/Download Mode, it ignores the Key Combination Volume down + Power. If i press this it starts normal.
I also can't get into the recovery / TWRP Mode, it ignores the Key Combination Volume Up + Power. If i press this is starts normal.
I've also noticed that the Phone is not conecting to the ADB on my computer, only the virtual CDROM from wich the HiSuite is installable connects.
I've also noticed that the eRecovery is not able to starts WIFI on the phone. It errors with "Starting WIFI failed!"
I also tryed out another time the dload function. This changed nothing. Phone boots still normal and run into the Decryption problem.
And i tried out to boot into fastboot or recovery after a cold reset, battery empty
Now it's on you. Has anybody an idea how i can solve one of the above problems. I think when one is solved the others will disappear via flashing new TWRP or so
Try connecting your phone to usb and then holding power+volume down until it boots to fastboot mode.
Huawei phone won't boot into recovery if system and twrp don't match but it should boot to fastboot allways.
What is the last rom you had on your phone while it was working?

I see two possibilites for this behavior:
1) The phone only pretents to reboot but makes a kind of warm start (never running the code to branch to recovery/boot) -> if the phone seems powered off and you attach usb cable, do you see standard battery laoding animation (that's what it should be) or black screen / boot logo?
2) You flashed a wrong boot.img and/or recovery.img or flashing got screwed up
If you have wrong images, fastboot should still work as edint3000 said.
For the unlikely case (1) with non removable battery you have to wait until battery is drained before you can boot into fastboot after connecting USB cable. Edit: oops just saw you did that.
I had another phone that at some point decided to go only in fastboot with volume down and no power button, when powered up with USB power. But I had never such an issue with a Huawei phone. However, playing around a bit costs nothing (but time).
I see no reason why fast boot should not work. How did you find out, that everything is fine after flahing with TWRP and before flashing system with fastboot?
Did you do anything else than flashing the system.img with fastboot?
Chilli
Same problem here...Phone not boot/not enter fastboot mode/not enter recovery mode...just stuck "your device booting now" screen...any solution?
Hello Mossyhand
you should search for the recovery Method with an "dload" ROM. This are kind of special Roms wich are able to "selfflash" onto the phone.
You have to put the right file onto your SD Card and then you have to press some keys when i remember right.
Sadly i've forgot, when i solved my problem, to reply how i did that exactly ._.
But if you do search in the dload method you will figure a way out i guess
If you don't find an right file, i can upload you my file, i have it still on my computer
had the same problem
go into the erecovery, it will tell you the data partition has been damaged. u can wipe it from there. go into trwp again, install rom and stuff. voila, works
cheers

BOOT problem

99% SOLVED
Hello all.
EDIT 070117 Partially SOLVED - after 0% battery is possible enter to FastBoot, but problem with TWRP or Unbrick stay...
EDIT 2 only Revolution recovery is going, but no efect... still trying install OS
I tried install Revolution ROM on my Huawei P9 lite (1 SIM card model for Europe - LN21), I unlocked BOOTloader, flash recoveries and ROMs, but after last install phone reboot ONLY in "wait for boot" mode... No acces to recoveries and FASTBOOT mode.....
Any ideas?
Thanks..
EDIT 10 01 2017
After about 100 reflashing everything inside OS works only 1 solution (99%) - i was on broke Nougat, nothing work correctly....
go to fastboot (turn off, hold down volume and plug USB - PC)
1. flash twrp beta 9 from BadWolf
2. Flash this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1481994704
IN CASE OF UNABLE MOUNT ANY PARTITION - USE product v_3 (twrp restore by Badwolf)....
3. Put the MM UPDATE.APP in the DLOAD folder on EXTERNAL SDCARD (it is possible use internal storage, i used VNS-L21XXXXX120)
4. Install it using the 3 button method (dload method) but sometimes work only + volume and power on
5. Factory reset
In case - decryption code need, only write anything and ask on revert data by eRecovery....
Now everything works correctly , ONLY FASTBOOT DONT WORK yet....
PS SORRY for terrible english!
6. DONE!!

try installing 6.0 firmware for you model.
i cant go to eRecovery, i cant even shut down device - only full discharge can make it.But i can go to fastboot. Ive tried with fastboot commands but i have locked bootloader and every time my flashes are rejected by phone. The simpliest metod - HiSuite send me message: "no recovery packages are found for your phone model". It should be a way to unbrick it with fastboot but i dont know how.
Hi I was in your shoes yesterday I had to pay for the dn Phoenix to fix my phone it uses a backdoor to install firmware from fastboot

I had the same problem!
Hi there.
Was in the same situation as you not so long ago.
Get a micro SD card, plug into PC, create a dload folder then download the rollback file from the Huawei website.
I'm a new user so can't post URL. Just Google "Huawei P9 rollback" should be the 2nd option (consumer.huawei link)
Put in the dload folder and put into your P9.
Press and hold power, vol up and down together till the Huawei logo appears and let go when you feel the vibrate.
This should force update and restart. (does not rollback to email 4.1, only unlocks the rollback from emui 5)
Next you need to download your previous firmware, in my case I'm in the UK with unlocked P9, so I downloaded EVA-L09C432B166.
Same again, put micro SD into PC, delete the rollback file and put your firmware in its place.
Put back in the P9 and repeat the above force update.
This will put you back to working stable stock.
For further reassurance, download a build previous to B166 so when it's up and running you can search for an OTA update to make sure all is in order.
Hope this helps.
Did you meant that the rollback flashes without going to eRecovery? I said some posts earlier that i cannot enter eRecovery so i cant dload anything. Im stuck on Huawei logo all the time do you think than i can flash something via dload without going to eRecovery?
erecovery is different.
I'm saying to do a force update, but in order to do so you need a microSD card.
Erecovery involves holding power up while connecting to PC in order to use HiSuite etc to recover.
Force updater tells the phone to search for dload folder on SD card or phone and install the update before trying to boot up OS.
So, if you connect microSD to your PC via a card reader etc and not via your phone, you can create a dload folder, download the rollback file from Huawei (above) the file is only around 80mb or so, plug the SD card back into your phone while powered off, hold down Power + vol up + vol down. The Huawei logo will appear, when it disappears let go of all the buttons. This should bring up the Update screen.
At this point the phone will install the rollback file. and this will bypass the rollback prevention in emui 5 and therefore allow you to install a previous emui build (4.1)
Again though your phone will still not boot at this point as there is no OS working or installed.
So you need to download the corresponding firmware for your phone/country/operator. Once downloaded, remove the memory card from the phone, connect to PC via card reader, delete the rollback file you placed in the dload folder and replace it with the downloaded OS and repeat the process used to install the rollback.
From there you should be back to stock marshmallow.
I should point out the files you download may be in zip folders. You need to extract the "update" file and that's what you place in the dload folder.
Hope this all makes sense, if not I can make a YouTube video and post it.
Good luck.
Now i know what did you mean, but sadly i cant update it too. I tried with my friend's P9 and when i hold these 3 buttons then shows special update screen and in my P9 it doesnt probably because of my bad flash rollback for P9 EVA-L19 and i have EVA-L09 model
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/downgrade-von-b360-zurueck-auf-b182.813366/

The rollback package for L09 model is here: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91892&version=363759&siteCode=es
Inform the results please.
I made a video to better understand. This wideo is showing that phone isn't searching any dload folder. https://youtu.be/oD9AI_6SqLs
edit: i have tried your advices to put rollback and try to dload it and then same with firmware but there is no reaction i didnt see there any circle with progress of flashing (like it was before i flashed rollback for L19)
Mine is now doing the exact same thing - I too tried the dload method to update from C432B182 to C432B361 and it's screwed my device up too.
Until I tried to use the 'rollback' package, it would at least allow me to power off, so I could get back into the Update screen - after doing that, and trying the B182 again, it's got into this position where I can do literally nothing with it. No combination of buttons, no matter how long I try to hold them, seems to do anything.
An update...
After letting my battery drain completely, I have been able to get into Fastboot mode, by pressing and holding the Volume Down button whilst connecting a USB cable to my PC.
From here, I have been able to run DC-Phoenix, and have been able to write some .APP files to it - which has at the very least got it booting into eRecovery, rather than the boot loop it had before, but is still not fully booting.
It looks like I might need the full, original firmware, in order to proceed?
And I've got about 68 hours left to flash using DC-Phoenix, or I'll have to spend another €15!
Yes you download the original firmware unzip it and put it in the "dload" folder of SD card then do a force update. Hold all the buttons vol + vol - and power

Can't root P8 Lite

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum so please forgive if I misplaced this thread
The problem is next:
I want to root my P8 Lite (and convert to dual sim but first things first). I have read some threads here, also that mega-thread, did everything step by step.
First I have requested unlock code from Huawei and successfully unlocked bootloader (fastboot shows it's unlocked and booting in bootloader shows Phone UNLOCKED).
Second, I installed ADB drivers, HiSuite recognizes my phone, adb devices shows it, everything runs smoothly. I downloaded and tried bat file that automatically roots it (the lazy way ) but not success so far. Then I rebooted completely and did everything step by step using cmd.
1. adb reboot bootloader (OK)
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (OK)
3. fastboot reboot (OK)
4. adb push UPDATE_SuperSU-v2.46.zip /su.zip (OK)
5. adb shell /sbin/recovery --update_package=/su.zip (SEGMENTATION FAULT)
I am stuck at step 5, clearly. Also I tried commands one by one:
adb shell
/sbin/recovery
But that returns Permission Denied.
Tried that again through Minimal and ADB Fastboot, through SDK, but no success so far. Thought that Windows 10 may be the problem, but the same was on laptop with Windows 7.
I would appreciate any help here.
I don't know. In my opinion, you can put the SuperSU flashable zip into your phone through USB, and boot into TWRP Recovery, mount /system, then flash it.I'm not sure about it. Maybe it can help.
P.S.: You can see https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...de-to-unlock-bootloader-t3150616/post61708277this post, find the UPDATE-2.

I can't boot into recovery, it shows nothing. There is a sound that usb is connected but screen remains black, I can't install twrp over stock recovery. Is sd card necessary or this can be done just with phone memory?

I had some problems installing TWRP and SU after my update to B588.
I used Xepeleato's TWRP edition with the 2 zip SU installation (I have so many files, that I cannot remember where I got them ).
So, flashed TWRP, then connected via usb (if I am not mistaken) and then via adb rebooted into recovery. Then flashed both of the files for the SU.
I will try doing that with install from sd card, from service menu, otherwise I can't install over stock recovery.
Also can't root it. I soft bricked my phone 3 times and then had to flash Cust, Boot and all the other images using a script I found on the Megathread and set it up all over again. I have an unlocked bootloader but can't root it and I am too scared to try again.
That's my problem, first time softbricked it, then I flashed stock recovery and fixed it, bootloader unlocked but can't root.
Just in case you are on B588: I had problem with the official recovery of the build (don't know for sure if it is different from the others) and flashed the one extracted from B584 and then flashed TWRP.
I'm on B585
if I were you, i'd flash twrp, through adb and then boot into recovery through adb also and flash the 2 zip SU files at once. clear cache and dalvik and reboot.

How did you flash the one from B584?
EDIT: Nevermind, I did it. I booted to recovery through adb and TWRP was working
Did it, found some chinese twrp that worked for me. Now other problem came up
I tried to downgrade to Lollipop and setup was successfull. When phone restarted display wasnt showing anything,just bars and flashes and pixels etc, startup sound is there but no preview. Fastboot system flash returns failed, also erase.

1) let your phone charge - in case you don't have enough battery.
2) Try to download your desired build.
3) download Huawei extractor and with this, extract boot, recovery, cust and system.
4) search a bit on the big thread (root, unbrick convert etc) on how to enter fastboot. I cannot remember the exact steps, but there is a way for sure.
5) initiate adb and flash all the 4 images you extracted.
This is in general what you have to do.
Wishing you good luck!
If I find something more I'll let you know.
PS : when I had mine bricked I entered bootloader by following these steps if I am not mistaken :
Connect phone to pc
Keep Pressing the power button and when the screen turns off, press and hold the volume up (while pressing the power button).
When the phone vibrates, release the power button.
Tried everything, boot, recovery and cust flashed successfully but sytem "cant load system.img" even with using -S 512M or 1G or 256M. I took it for a repair, hope they will sort it out.
The guy from service did not succeed, he told me that he tried everything that I have, and that the phone can't be repaired. But I did.
I downloaded the latest firmware for my country, formatted SD card as FAT32, put it in my phone and rebooted, so folders Android, LOST.DIR and System Volume Information were created. I put the UPDATE.APP in dload folder on my SD card. Then I let phone charge fully until LED indicator was green. Plugged out the charger, and pressed Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. When the phone restarted, on startup vibration I let go power button and kept holding Volume Up and Down for about 3s. Then when I let them, display went completely black and nothing happened. I put the charger but it wasn't charging so I hoped that it started forced upgrade. Left it on the table and about 15min later it vibrated again on restart and - success!! Huawei logo on screen, booting up, EMUI optimizing device. So happy I solved it. Also thanks for answering guys!

(Tutorial) Recovering a P10/P10+ Brick

Here’s what you need to fix your P10/P10+ brick.
This method was tested on a bricked P10 (didn’t test on the P10+)
Bootloader already unlocked + Code (no need of twrp)
SD Card
Custom recovery (fix the entire update process)
Stock rom UPDATE.APP from update.zip and update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip
for your P10 + P10+ (choose the one you want to install, no need to be the one that come from with your P10, it could be the most recent one but linked to your exact model)
Be patient
Extract the stock rom update.zip and update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip, both have an UPDATE.APP,
we are going to flash the one from the update.zip first and repeat the same process for the update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip one.
(1)Get ready your SD card
Insert your SD card on the PC, create a folder at the root and name this one dload, move the update.APP from the update.zip
to the dload folder.
(2)Boot your phone in fastboot (Hold Vol- + Power) USB cable need to be plug
Launch terminal on OSX or Windows with adb/fastboot
Write the command fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
(3) Before rebooting your phone, insert your sd card that contain dload folder (update.app stock rom from update.zip) inside your P10/P10+
Turn off your P10/P10+
(4) Unplug the USB cable and hold vol+/vol- 5 to 10 sec or (until you see the message this device can not be trusted)
(5)Now the custom recovery updater should trigger and your P10/P10+ is updating, wait until 100% (it restart by itself).
(6)Your P10/P10+ should now boot without problem (bootloader locked)
(7) Is not finish yet, you are going to face NRD90M Test-keys that is normal, you simply need to
flash your cust.
(8) For that, we repeat the same process than before but instead of using the update.app from update.zip, you use the one from update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip and replace the one you have on your sd card (dload folder)
(9)reboot your P10/P10+ in fastboot (with of course USB cable plug and hold vol- + power)
There you simply write the command, fastboot oem unlock yourcode. Your phone is going to reset to unlock back your bootloader and you need to go back to fastboot
(10) after that, you reflash again the recovery with customrecovery.img using the command fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
and you reboot again in the custom recovery mode (same than before) there the P10/P10+ is updating again, take a few secs
(11) the P10/P10+ will restart and boot in the UI, congrats.:good::good:
P.S : This process was not possible without proper change in recovery and manipulation, hopefully it help you
to recover your brick.

Here’s what you need to fix your P10/P10+ brick.
This method was tested on a bricked P10 (didn’t test on the P10+)
Bootloader already unlocked + Code (no need of twrp)
SD Card
Custom recovery (fix the entire update process)
Stock rom UPDATE.APP from update.zip and update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip
for your P10 + P10+ (choose the one you want to install, no need to be the one that come from with your P10, it could be the most recent one but linked to your exact model)
Be patient
Extract the stock rom update.zip and update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip, both have an UPDATE.APP,
we are going to flash the one from the update.zip first and repeat the same process for the update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip one.
(1)Get ready your SD card
Insert your SD card on the PC, create a folder at the root and name this one dload, move the update.APP from the update.zip
to the dload folder.
(2)Boot your phone in fastboot (Hold Vol- + Power) USB cable need to be plug
Launch terminal on OSX or Windows with adb/fastboot
Write the command fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
(3) Before rebooting your phone, insert your sd card that contain dload folder (update.app stock rom from update.zip) inside your P10/P10+

Thanks, will try this tomorrow!
This sound interesting if this method is working both P10 and P10+. It mean that we can rebrand all of L09 models to L29 easily. Am i right? No more FunkyHuawei.

Not sure about the rebranding, for that you need to mod your oem info and product/vendor id.
There is no need of FunkyHuawei, I actually don't support those kind of forcing.

Question about the bootloader relock
the command to relock is fastboot oem relock yourcode.
Now about your issue, did you try a wipe cache/wipe factory/reset, go into the stock recovery and do a wipe cache/wipe factory reset.

Hi neverd, I'm gonna give this method a try. Could you tell me where I can find the appropriate files for my P10 VTR-L29C636B120?
Much thanks.

Carefully, they use the same name (update.zip) but one is the full ota, the other one the ota mf (cust, etc. the one that you need to flash the second time)
Update.zip VTR-L29C636B120
Update cust/hw xxx

Thanks about the relock command. I'll try it when I recover my phone.
I tried that, but it's like I don't have the full system installed, I tried a "full" ROM on the first flash, but I don't think it was actually a full rom, it was too small, I wanted to try another one, but the file being over 4gb I can't even copy it to a fat32 sd card... If I find another version that is a little smaller, maybe I could try, but now I only have erecovery, can't access anything else, hope it's enough.

Thanks for the files!
I'm having a problem at step 4, it says software install failed right after 5%.
Just to confirm what I did. Press all 3 buttons (vol up, vol down, power) on until screen shows message.
Guys check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108 it will flash the complete FULL Firmware and you also got your bootloader closed again

I'm having the same problem, can someone send me the files to the VTR-L09 C432? Or maybe the VTR-L29 if my phone supports it, I'd like the dual sim feature.
Just to make sure I'm using the right firmware.
If I find a solution I'll share it here as well btw.

Does it work for P10 Plus (VKY) ? I only see VTR oeminfo/recoveries files in the zip.
Edit : I went ahead and renamed everything in the VTR folder to VKY (except for eominfo files, since I just want to update), and it worked ! Updated from VKY-L29C432B123 to B130
Hi all,
I have the same issue software install failed right after 5%. Did anyone get past this?
What other files other than update in dload folder need to be present?
Thanks

Have a look for files :
http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VTR&firmware_page=0
I think it is the FULL OTA required.
I still cannot get mine to go past 5% stage.

Really interested in this one too. Do you have any additional information please? As I just have plan to pull the trigger on funkyhuawei method during the next weekend... But of course I would rather use this manual method if possible.
Guys, did you flash the custom recovery before trying to update.
You really need to flash the stock recovery with the custom recovery, this fix the 5% update fail.
You can also flash recovery2 with.

Write that you need to extract customrecovery.img from customrecovery.zip. That would be understandable.
Hi,
does this work - i bricked my Huawei P10 with VTR-L29C432B113 firmware like this
Installed TWRP and i flashed magisk.zip -> that worked for a while
But on next phone reboot it says there is no space on the storage 0%
Now i cant do anything - phone is not usable..
Exept booting twrp and fastboot&rescue mode wich shows
PHONE unlocked
FRP Lock
When i try to
fastboot flash boot boot.img it says that stupid message command not allowed..
I tried to put in a SD Card with the folder dload and an update.app on it in and tried to flash it via VOL+ and VOL- but that fails
Does the provided method work or what can i do?
Thanks! chrizz
