Cannot upgrade P7-L07 with EMUI 2.0 - Huawei Ascend P7

Hi,
a friend of mine has got in China a P7 with a strange EMUI 2.0 firmware (I always knew that P7 came with 2.3 since the first version). I wanted to upgrade it to the EMUI 3.0, then I downloaded the package from emui.com, I extracted the dload directory and copied to the internal memory (the same procedure I succesfully did with mine) but when I booted it holding Vol-, Vol + and Start button I just went into the stock recovery interface.
I though was a problem of the recovery, then I restarted with adb into bootloeader mode but the screen was all empty except for "fastboot mode" wrote at the bottom. When I tried to flash another recovery I got an error saying that flashing the recovery was not allowed.
Anyone knows what the problem is?
Thanks in advance

And also is resisting to any attempt to unlock: do not give Product ID so I cannot produce the unlocking code, neither are working all methods I found on the web. I may have to give up

maybe there is a firmware for your p7-L07 like there is for the p6-u06 where you can flash a so called unicom version and first downgrade and then upgrade/update..
and hopefully this downgrade unlocks the bootloader..
just my thoughts..

Thanks blueIBI, the problem is how to flash it, since the normal way do not work. After copying the dload directory on the phone memory, if I use the system menu to perform local upate or I reboot by pressing Vol+ Vol- Start I always end up in the recovery menu, the firmware gets never installed.
Will try harder.

Are you sure this is original P7 not some chinese crap looking like P7?

The phone belongs to a friend of mine. I own another P7 and they look exactly the same. It came in the original box with everything, so I have no doubt that it is original.
The fact that it has EMUI2.0 make me think that it was one of the first released to the market. The phone is working fine, just it is not upgrading on-line and I cannot find a way to upgrade it manually. I will try contacting Huawei support.

Sadly, you are not alone with this problem. My experience was similar to yours. I solved it by throwing the phone away and buying another. Unfortunately, my second P7 has faulty flash memory and is almost useless. I'm now awaiting the delivery of my third P7. I suggest you buy another and avoid EMUI 3.0. Good luck!

A question? How can you do factory reset through settings when you have a bricked phone? I find this very strange!
If by any chance you still can load the OS, get the quickboot app in the market. It will get you to fastboot and than maybe you can install recovery.
All in all, I still don't understand, is your device bricked (can't load OS, just constant reboots - loops), or you just can' downgrade to EMUI 2.3!
Good luck

Probably "brick" is not the exact word, but everything which i wrote in first post is true .. cant do a factory reset from settings and via 3 buttons and cant flash again emui 3 not only 2.3 and the phone just restarts or stuck on first huawei logo when i try to do that and cant charging when is turn off ..etc .. )) When i get quickboot from market what i have to do with it ? Thanks !

To install quickboot you need to load OS which you apparently cannot at the moment. Did you try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/stock-recovery-stuck-bootloop-t2875935

I totally bricked the phone ... i wrote in fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and after that the ph0ne begin to restart in timeless circle .. and still do it ... please help emergency ))
Try the method on the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/reverting-emui-3-0-to-2-3-t2934277
I fix it ... turned out i was installed wrong boot.img .. may be of huawei p6 and the stock recovery which installed doesnt work .. now instaled working and everything is ok Thanks 4 wish to help me !
I have a similar/the same issue as some people above described.
I reverted from CWM recovery to stock recovery (same stock recovery img as I used before succesfully). Now the phone can only boot to stock recovery (Reboot system now, Wipe data, Wipe cache, are the only options.
The phone is not detected by adb on that screen, so I can't try to reboot to bootloader using ADB. I also can't get into bootloader from volume button + power, because the phone boots immediately to recovery after I turn it off.
Fortunately I managed to solve it, so for reference:
Remove SD card
Place full (no incremental update) update.APP file on external sd card in /dload folder (B609: https://mega.co.nz/#!akcBCZBJ!4jLhlNsH54H-3DHeK3xPkzT3fWIHBR6QtbOllubdz5Q) using a different device (computer)
insert SD card
turn the phone off from the recovery loop by holding all three buttons (VOL+POW) at the same time. It's a bit tricky, but keep trying until the phone is off
Insert the USB cable in your phone and connect it with your computer (haven't tested if it simply needs power, or an ADB enabled computer)
Then immediately press all three buttons again
You should enter recovery again now, but the phone will immediately start flashing the update.APP ROM.
You will lose all user data though!
same problem here

I had the same problem that my phone doesn't go on and time after time boot fails,

Tried updating to 6.0, stuck at Huawei loadingscreen

Afternoon gents.
So yesterday i tried to update my Mate S with 5.1 Android to the 6.0 version with Huawei´s Firmware. After adding the Dload file to the mobilephone and starting the update sequenze, the phone does a double boot, basically does the first boot as usual, after loading the first boot it reboots and does a second boot. The second boot just gets stuck at the Huawei loadingscreen.
Ive tried to clear both the cache folder and do a factory reset, both did not work. I tried to do a recovery from the Hisuit software from Huawei, but as my phone is not supported by the software, that did not work either. (And yes, i did get the phone into the Fast Boot menu).
So from what i can see, im left with doing a manuel reset of the ROM. This is not something im very good at, allthough i do know alot about PCs, phones is a whole nother area i have not exlored yet.
So i was wondering if anyone here had any help they could provide me with how i can fix this for this specific phone. I do have the stock ROM and the newest ROM with 6.0 Android.
Ive been fooling around with ADB and SP Flash Tools, but i constantly get stuck as im not too sure what im doing.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Edits
Just a few Edits:
The ADB i simply could not figure out how to use, the SP Flash Tools on the other hand looked quite simplistic and easy to use. Problem i had with the SP Flash Tools is that i only have the Update.APP file, but i did need a Scatter file (and possibly some other files), this is where i got stuck using this software.
Also, i forgot to mention. Whenever i turn off the phone by holding inn the ON/OFF Buttion, it automatically restarts and tries to boot again. Basically i cannot turn it off.
hi..
try to get a full 5.1.1 rom for your mate s..
which cust version do you have?
eu is c432
global is c900
and all others are provider based firmwares or other countries..
so you need to get your proper firmware which is for your country, then take an external sd card..format it on pc (fat32), put a folder on it named "dload", inside this you put the update.app (no need for other files)..
then start your phone by pressing all three hardware buttons (power, vol+ & vol-) at the same time and hold them until the update screen is showing up..
then it should flash/install this firmware..
after that try to start the OTA updater by huawei..
if this doesn't work, take the correct update.app (full version) of the next higher version (in my example it was c432b145 (android 5) - c432b321 (android 6 beta) - c432b361 (android 6 final) ) and do the same as before..
good luck

Hi, thanks for the reply.
To be honest, im not completly sure which i have, but considering i bought it in Norway i supose the EU version is the correct: eu is c432
I did not know you coul boot from an external SD card. this made things alot easyer. Ill drive out to my office where i have a micro SD card coverter and try this fix. Ill bring all the Firmwares and lets hope it all works!
Cheers for the reply man, might just be my lifesaver.
Hello again,
I tried what you suggested with both the stock ROM and the new updated ROM, but it did not seem to work. The problem i get is when the update starts, it reaches 5% when it verifies the software, then i get a "Software install failed!".
Please note i had this problem before i tired this, problem first occured when i did a factory reset of the device. So i belive the phone is still not booting from the SD card, but from thge phone itself as before. How do i solve this?
I could also add. before i did the factory reset, the update did work, but it still got stuck on the boot logo.
I gues ill be sending the phone inn for service tomorrow unfortunatly, cause i cannot figure this out. Thanks though!

I cannot upgrade any further

Hello,
I tried for a few days to upgrade my huawei to build B586 but I haven't been succesful. I unlocked my boot and tryied to upgrade trough brick method(but switching the img files to the b586 ones with huawei extractor). I have no option to update from local and the vol+,- and power buttons do not work. I get stuck at boot screen.
My curent build is B574. Do you have any sugestions how I can upgrade? or downgrade than upgrade? The update to 6.0 was done via update from local option,which i don;t have anymore.
Thank you in advance.
It works with me in similar situation, not sure if it work with you!
Downgrade B574> B300
and then...
Upgrade B300> B586 or B588
Hmmm... I had a similar problem. Coming from the RRevolution Custom Rom, when i tried flashing stock again i couldn't. The Power+Vol.Buttons method would give me bootloop. Even though the phone was booting, i followed the unbricking guide, flashing boot,recovery,system and cust (search it up, it's in the forums). After flashing everything and rebooting my phone, it went straight into the upgrade method (the one you get with the Power+Vol) and installed B586 just fine. No problems since and i am now using the B588, so it might work just the same with that one too. Hope this helps

Did you tried put B300 on the dload folder and then press 3 buttons?
From what I understood, you can't use the 3 button method, right? The phone will just boot... Try pressing all three and when you see the boot logo just release the power button and keep holding the other two. I've seen people getting over such problems by doing this. It probably sounds stupid but i would give it a shot... Also, try putting the upgrade.app file both on internal and external sd!

eRecovery is achived by volume up+power buttons right? When I do that It enters in update and says update failed
EDIT: removed the dload folder and succesfully wiped my phone, I will try to upgrade now(fingercrossed)
EDIT 2: I succesfully upgraded to b586. When I pressed the 3 buttons I got stuck at the same boot screen. When I pressed only volume up+ power button it workd.
So if any1 will have the same issue he should defenetly try this out. Big thanks for everyone who responded in this threat :good:

Full Return to Original Guide

Hello guys. I have a will to root my phone or maybe try one or two ROMs. However I am a guy that always wants to turn back the phone to it's original state. Can anyone of you provide me something like guide to returning to Original state?
Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk
You need to remember the firmware version you want to go back to (like EVA-L09CxxxBxxx) and install the OTA by copying it on the dload folder on your SD card and powering on with Vol+ and Vol- pressed. You can find the files in this forum. This method works even if you have a custom rom installed or your device does not boot at all.
Some OTAs even lock your bootloader again.

do you mean by "latest" your on oreo and emui 8? magisk 16.0 works fine and i think you will pass safety unless you install xposed.

Yes it is. Just gotta press the power button once when it shows up
Also, did you save a screenshot or write down your code?
yes, I have anootated my code but will I still need it? For what? To access the twrp, so what should I do?

The code is needed in case you want to relock the bootloader or the phone relocks it, now that the Huawei bootloader website is gone for good

Guys continue to have problems after doing the flash of twrp with adb. I can not access in any way to twrp because if I press power and vol up me comes out the screen that comes out on power (screen attached) but without options and remains stuck on this whatever I press. Also I would like to install the new version pra-lx1c432b209 that came to me via ota but every time I try it goes wrong and returns to the screen above
If I try to flash the twrp again, do I risk the phone?

No,
However did you let go of the buttons immediately when the Huawei screen comes on? If you leave your fingers on them it wont work
Is there still a way to get the bootload code for the P8 lite, or is there any other way to get root acces for it?
I redid the flash to twrp. Now finally the twrp is ok. Now instead, I wonder why the system update pra-lx1c432b209 goes wrong? Can I try to install with twrp putting update.app in folder dload in microsd?
I have not done the root on the phone yet
