Hi,
I guess I did something a bit stupid, went into recovery and formated /system, /cache, /data, did factory reset and then rebooted my phone.
I get the boot screen with the samsung logo, then the cm7 logo and then something to do with the recovery appears really fast:
Code:
-- Installing
Finding update package...
E:unkown volume for path []
E:can't mount
Installation aborted
And then back to samsung logo, etc.
The 3-button access to download or recovery mode doesn't work. If I plug the USB cable, Windows does that "device connected" sound and then disconnects again each time it loops, but ADB can never find it.
So I guess my question is, is there anything else I can try before buying the usb dongle?
Have you tried pulling out the batt and trying for download mode?
If you mean taking out the battery and reinserting it, yes, I've tried it. Taking out the battery is the only way to stop the loop lol
If you meant actually going into download mode without the battery, I just tried plugging the USB cable and hitting the 3 buttons for a while and nothing happened. Unless it is some different key combination when the battery is out.

Hello,
after a couple of attempts at installing TWRP recovery, some successful, some not, a ROM reinstall and finally this last factory reset, my Huawei P9 phone is stuck at what appears to be boot or restart loop. It is interesting however that I am unable to turn off the phone at all and it's been like this for an hour. At first, TWRP recovery wouldn't boot but the OS would. Then I did factory reset and phone restarted. Since then it won't boot or turn off. When I hold the power button to turn it off, it vibrates once, then vibrates again and then Huawei logo is displayed. After that a message that says "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." & "Your device is booting now..." which is normal since I unlocked my phone bootloader, but the problem is that it is just stuck there.
It stays there forever, screen on, phone on, can't restart because it comes back to the same point, can't turn it off since battery is impossible to take out... Any hope? I bought the phone a couple of days ago and this is really bad... Help!
Edit: In case someone else stumbles upon similar situation - after trying everything possible with these 3 buttons I had available (vol+- and power), I have managed to boot by (I THINK) holding the power button for 10 secs but releasing it really fast after the screen turns off and BEFORE the first vibration happens.
Edit 2: Now I have the same problem again and I can't seem to get the right button "combo" to pass the booting phase like I did some hour ago... Any ideas?
Edit 3: It appears that the ROM I have flashed caused problems with TWRP - after I got an SD card, managed to put stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818) on it and then did force upgrade, the phone booted successfully.
Step by step:
1) Drained battery to 0% and forced phone to turn off (otherwise it would vibrate twice and get stuck loading TWRP if I tried to turn it off using power button)
2) When I plugged it in and it got some battery power it started, avoided TWRP and regularly booted the OS (which was causing problems with TWRP in my case I think). If you don't have any OS, do not recharge or turn on your phone until you have prepared and put SD card into the phone
3) Downloaded and extracted the dload folder from the P9 stock ROM archive (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818) to root directory of SD card
4) Unplugged and turned off the phone using OS Shutdown option
5) Turned it on by holding power, volup and voldown buttons together - "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device is booting now..." message appeared so I thought it was stuck again and was about to hang myself, but then the OS upgrade started (if it doesn't work right away, try restarting the phone with power, volup and voldown buttons held together again)
6) Upgrade was successful but the phone wouldn't boot without complete factory reset, after which it booted normally. Bootloader was relocked, then I updated to the latest stable EMUI (4.1.1) and life returned to normal.

I can access Fastboot&Rescue mode and use abd (but phone is not rooted). Other than that I can't get to repeat what I did when I managed to boot the phone previous time this happened some hours ago... Can anyone post all volume+- and power key combinations which I can try?
Any other ideas more than welcome...
Guys can someone help with this. I'm having the same sort of issues. I have flashed an update and now I have lost touch on the screen. I can't even use twrp because the touch is not working.
Please can someone advise.

After getting an SD card (everything I did so far was using internal storage) and putting stock Huawei P9 ROM on it (Android 6 and EMUI 4), then shutting down (forced by draining battery) and doing force upgrade (vol+ and vol- held after power up) I have managed to (upgrade and) boot my phone and get it back to normal again. If anyone needs more detailed explanation on how I solved this, feel free to ask.
Open bootloader again, i had the same problem few days ago
Yes please vernicht. My touchscreen has stopped responding after flashing an update.app using DC Phoenix.
I really need to get the phone back to normal.
Thanks in advance

Can you boot into OS? Please provide more exact details.
How I got out of the TWRP(?) boot loop: I couldn't take out the battery, but I have managed to drain it to 0% by letting the phone stay on for hours thus eventually shutting itself down. After that I have charged it and then powered it up. It didn't attempt to boot TWRP (no loop) but instead booted back the OS. After that I could regularly restart the phone and do all operations without getting stuck in loop, which allowed me to issue force upgrade command using hardware power up/down buttons.
Nope. I manage to flash it with DC Phoenix fully but it just keeps boot looping and going back to the Huawei logo. Then after that if goes into its recovery menu and the only my to use the menus is with the volume keys.

Are you able to put files on your SD card? If yes, you can try putting stock ROM on it and then force force upgrading (hold vol+ and vol- together after power up). It should overwrite everything and boot up.
I have done this but it won't even force flash the stock rom. It gets to 5% and says 'system error'
I followed your suggestion to let the battery drain and then I charged it fully, but when charging it got to 1% and rebooted the phone into eRecovery.
I wish I could get this phone fixed and back to normal.

Did you use this stock ROM for P9 (if it's EVA-L09 like mine) or something else?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
It worked fine with force upgrade for me, while some other ROMs didn't.
Do you have Wipe cache and data/factory reset options available in eRecovery, did you try that?
I'll try that. The only problem I have is my touchscreen won't respond under eRecovery. I have to use the volume and power key to navigate. Any idea what's happened there?

It will probably return to function after you restore to stock ROM. Until then you can use power button to select items in eRecovery if needed.
Btw I have edited my original first post in this thread with step by step guide on what I did in my case.
Thank you Vernicht for all your help.
I finally manage to get the phone fully working again. I also managed to get it changed from C900 to C432, lock the bootloader and join the beta.
Thank you so much again. It's very much appreciated.
Merry Christmas too

Hi nscxp2005
how did you manage that?
i have the same Problem.
i have done a "Wipe Cache" and a factory reset.
i have copied the "update.app" from PauloBrien zip on a sd card in a folder named dload.
then i have done a Force flash -> it goes to 5% an says Invalid File.
when i look in the device with DC Phoenix it says it is a EVA-L09C900B136
Why have i done that?
My wive have the EVA-L09C432B136 and i updatet it OTA to Nougat.
i thought i could switch to that version to get the new Nougat but something went wrong......
thanks in advance and sry for my english =)

Hi Guys, hope you can help
I have got an P9 EVA-L09 which I tried to update to B378 but failed and now it stuck in a boot loop and won't recover using the phone.
I have tried to download the update mentioned above and doing a forced recovery on the phone Power + VOL+ + VOL- but no luck, gets 5% and fails.
Would like some help please.
Hello, I have the same problem, I tried to install Lineage 14.1 and it didn't work. Then i tried to go back to EMUI 5.0 and i just all fell apart. No i have no android on my P9 (cos i wiped all data and the system through TWRP 3.1.1.1), and now my touchscreen doesn't work. When i try to force install, it blockes on 5%. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it? Thanks

I have the same issue after flashing the rollback package from the official huawei site. The phone isn't rooted, it just had a branding for some odd reason. So I installed the C432B182 but somehow ended up with a C900B... firmware. So I installed the Rollback package C900B300 using the 3 button method. It said successfull but ever since I've been stuck in the same loop. At the logo. Trying to enter recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) or Force flash any of the firmwares (stock C432.. or rollback C900) doesnt succeed. It wont attempt. Only vibrates as you described and turns the screen off for a second before entering the same loop again.
How did you manage to enter the flash Menu??
Thanks in advance and hope you can help.

Hello!
At me too such problem. When charging to sit at 0% and plug it into the charger, it immediately turns on and goes into the system, then the screen is worth a long logo. I have a phone EVA-L09C627B150.

There's a change that you installed wrong TWRP and it keeps trying to boot recovery until it does it successfully. Though can't be sure since Honor 4x doesn't give any additional info. I can't remember how to fix it, but you could try to do force update, without update file.
Make sure you don't have 'dload' folder in root of your SDcard and that your device has high battery. Then hold vol + and vol - while powering device and keep holding them until it gets to update screen or until it boot loops again. If it gets to update screen your device should boot next time normally.
hello dears,
i have nokia 8 after last update of pie before a week suddenly my phone was acting strange ,so iwas tried to wipe data from twrp recovery i noticed all my folder where encrypted with strange letters i backup my data but after i reboot my phone its no longer working its freezing on bootloader warning screen and wont turn off or restart i have to wait until its battery drain to 0 and when i plug the usb with pc or charger once its reboot and i see even nokia logo but it restart again and stuck in bootloader warning (icant enter recovery mode or fastboot mode which is download mod)
and when itry to recharge phone its restart automatically after its battery get green after 5 min of recharging , at this point ithink im already fked up and the pc only detect MTP usb device under portable device as cd driver in pc (and show adb bootloader for only 3 second after plug in it to pc ) before its reboot and change to mtp
im already disappointed ifaced bootloader problem before but ifixed it easly but this one is unexpected problem
my last hope is i found that my phone can access safe mode when i hold power+vol + vol-
but i should hold it when my phone plugged to pc but the problem is ishould keep holding these 3 button to see safe mode and when i keep holding it and i see the phone screen open with menu its show me shutdown message and turn off immediately ,
any help will be appreciated ,:fingers-crossed:
You could try reflashing the stock boot image, booting into stock recovery, and doing a factory reset from there. I am not sure if TWRP can properly reset the phone if /data is encrypted. I also heard that you should avoid resetting your phone when you have Magisk installed (if thats the case for you).
You can boot into the bootloader by turning the phone off, and connecting it to a computer through the USB cable while holding down the volume up key.
