[GUIDE] How to unbrick HUAWEI P8 when failed to update and ends in bootloop - Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi
I see someone here have problems with bricked phone. It just keeps restarting and you cant even turn it off.
The problem is here that UPDATE never ended to 100% and software successfully changed boot.img to the new one
but with old system on the phone.
Its even worse if you have TWRP recovery installed before update then it will brick the phone too.
Allways install stock recovery on current rom before update firmware.
Ok i will start now with this guide because i had same problem and fixed it by myself.
I will not put any links to downloads find them self GOOGLE is your friend
First of all if you were on B200 5.0.1 version of android then you need B170 firmware to extract boot.img and recovery.img from
the UPDATE.APP file
For that you need a software called Huawei Firmware Extractor
Download it and install
Now you need even ADB/FASTBOOT on the computer. If you dont have download and install. Install even drivers for the phone
Now Open the Huawei Extractor and add the UPDATE.APP file.
Now you will see alot of files below
Now mark the boot.img system.img and recovery.img and extract them to the desktop of your PC
Now copy those files to the ADB/FASTBOOT folder.
You phone i still under the bootloop and you need to get it into FASTBOOT mode. Only way to do it is to plug in USB cable to the phone.
Now as soon the phone reboots by itself hold Power and Vol down button until you see white screen and fastboot mode
Now go to the ADB/FASTBOOT folder where you copyed files and hold shift and press right mouse button to get "Open command window here"
So you will be in fastboot and you will see C:/ADB that is right directory
Now start with fastboot erase cache
Then write fastboot flash boot boot.img and hit enter
When done do following fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and hit enter
You can if you want even try to flash system.img by writing fastboot flash system system.img or fastboot flash system.img dont remember that combination
but try and see wich works.
Now write fastboot rebootand phone will reboot . If you still have bootloop then as soon phone goes black then Hold Vol+up and Power until you see recovery.
Over there make factory reset and cache and then reboot.
If you still cant boot into recovery then you need to get Firmware B170 and put it on you SD card in DLOAD folder
to flash it from scratch. Same here is that you need to have USB plugged in in order to get to EMUI flash mode or it will wont work.
Remember that you only need UPDATE.APP in the DLOAD folder from B170 firmware.
I know my English sucks but im trying to help...

Yes, this is the your mistake
Never update firmware with instaled TWRP. First you need to flash to factory recovery then install the original firmware like B170(B200), then update to Marshmallow

Nevermind, fixed it.

You don't flash img files through the recovery. Flash recovery.img, boot.img, system.img and cust.img manually through the fastboot screen (vol down + power) using either the windows command or mac terminal.

Thank you, at the moment I'm trying the same.

Which firmware, I've tried with full B200 and extracted images, but no success. B170 ?

Don't have success, please give advices ?

1. I Download the B313 update and extract the boot.img and recovery.img from update.app using Huawei Firmware Extractor.
2. Connect your P8 to your PC/Mac. Hold down volume down + power just before you feel the vibration and the Huawei logo shows up. This will boot you to the Fastboot/Rescue screen.
3. Using the windows command prompt or mac terminal, flash the B313 recovery and boot images using Fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After flashing these, if you reboot normally, the bootloop should be gone but you will get stuck at the Huawei logo. However, you'll now be able to access recovery (volume up + power) and the 3 button update (vol up + vol down + power) modes.
You can now reboot either holding the power down or issue a fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
4. This may be optional and may not have any bearing but at this point I was ok with losing data just to get the phone booting again. Boot to the recovery (volume up + power) Yes, it's not that easy using the buttons. Just try it until you get the recovery to boot.
In recovery select Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition.
5. Download the B170 Full ROM and extract the dload and custom folder to your microSD. Use a card adapter/card reader.
6. IMPORTANT: Disconnect your P8 from your computer if it is still connected. Doing the next step while you're connected through USB will cause the update to get stuck at 90% and if you force a reboot, your device will bootloop again.
7. Reboot from the recovery and boot into the EMUI Updater using the 3-button method (volume up + volume down + power). Let the phone update and voila! You're back in business!

Confirm, it works!

Hey TopperBG,
i'm in the same Bootloop as you described.
I tried every ROM I found on the internet but the combo with Vol Up + Vol Down + Power won't work. There ist always a fail after 1 % loading.
The second I tried was on fast boot. Problem im my boot loader is locked. So there is no chance for me to get something flashed.
Last option was your comment. I've loaded the B200 Rom on my SD-Card in /dload and tried (the second time) the Vol Up+Vol Down+ Power combo. No success. Then I tried just Vol Up+Power to get the Recovery mode as you described. But I have no chance to boot to recovery mode.
Do I forgot a step ??
Please help
Thanks
Flo

Tell me first what you've done when become to bloop ?
With boot and recovery from that ROM you must flash.
If you can forcibly start update (vol+ vol- power) you have a chance to update properly with update.app in /dload folder

I tried to update through local update on the Phone. But not with .zip. I tried the .app directly. Now i know it was the wrong Choice.
Flash with fastboot is no option for me because of the locked bootloader.
If I do the Force start with the new marshmallow rom (update.app) there is a warning that i'm using the wrong version for my phone.

As mentioned earlier, my PC won't recognize my P7.. So i don't know how to put the dload folder into my sdcard / internal storage..
Do dload folder on sd card. Maybe put this sdcard into other phone or something else. Just use your brain.

If you do force update and insert the USB cable while recovery is loading, the phone will accept ADB, and you can use
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and then use flashtool to flash system images or flash CWM recovery.
I have a problem i wanna update b602 to b609 but i can`t use dload because i have cwn recovery can anyone upload the b602 recovery.img please

Can you boot into your phone? If not, wait at least 10 min or so. Then you will be prommoted to something like "BOOT FAILED". From there, you have to hold down volume down for 6 sec (I think). Now you've entered fastboot mode. Finally, you can access your phone through PC. This worked for me though!
Thanks man

Finally solved. This is the method i used .
I connected the phone to the pc while he's powered off and immediately i pressed vol- + power to get in fastboot mode and then i flashed boot.img and recovery.img of the b815 with adb... at the finish it reboot like a new phone infact it request me the language etc.
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader (my phone reboot in bootloop so i skip this passage)
fastboot devices
##put recovery and boot file in the adb folder##
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/372688-re-partition-stock-partition-tool/ (using the answer on the bottom)
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

(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.

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.
neverd said:
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.

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 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.

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

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

Phone can't boot stuck at "Your device is booting now" Please Help

Hello, I wanted to install TWRP and ROOT my phone. I flashed TWRP using adb terminal. But when I tried to boot into TWRP it was stuck on "Your device is booting now..". Then if I held the power button for few secs it rebooted normally. So I tried to google it and I found adb command that reboots to recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
. When I executed the command it rebooted to the "Your device is booting now.." screen and it stays like this forever. No button combination works to reboot the phone if i hold power button it reboots shows honor logo and then shows the "Your device is booting now.." screen. I waited for the battery to drain and then i put the phone on charger and when I tried to boot it, it was the same. Now when I try to reboot the phone it shows ultra low baterry symbol and then boots to "Your device..." screen.

Which twrp you flashed? Check the correct twrp in my signature for honor 5C repository.

Hi hassanjavaid8181
I think I have the same issue here, phone is stuck on "your device..." screen forever and it's impossible to do anything else (reboot ends up on the same screen).
How is it possible to flash twrp or stock recovery if we are stuck on this screen ? Fastboot doesn't see the phone...

Did you try all method to going in fastboot.by adb fastboot command or by pressing vol- and power button?
Hi guys, thanks for your replies.
I somehow managed to boot to fastboot after waiting for the battery to go out completely. From there I used the following commands in ADB from the extract of a stock update.img :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
And it worked ! The first boot was veeery long and now it's normal again.
Now my last concern is that I still have bootloader unlocked. As I wish to come back to factory state and avoid the warning message on boot, do you guys think it's safe to re-lock bootloader ?
I'm kind of scared to try anything else and screw the whole thing now
Thanks again for your support

Can you please explain to me how did you managed to boot into fastboot? I tried waiting for the battery to drain completely. Now I can't fully charge my phone. When i connect it with charger. It starts normally charging like it would with 0% battery then after a few moments the honor logo shows up and then the screen "Your device.." shows. When I try vol- and powerbutton it vibrates and shows the red lightbolt then after few moments it boots the same way into the your device screen. When I connect it to the pc it doesn't react. I don't even hear the classic windows beep sound.

You need to press power + volume down key to boot into fastboot. Keep trying 4-5 times sometimes it takes due to wrong press

So I managed to get into the fastboot. Where can I get boot.img, recovery.img and system.img?

Now you have firmware zip, extract it amd you will get few files. Use dload method as given in my signature and you are good to go.
Else use Huawei extractor and browse to update.app you just got in above downloaded zip. You will get boot, recovery, system img you need.
I downloaded some firmware versions and extracted them. I don't know which is for my device. So I tried one of them. I flashed boot.img and recovery.img but I din't flashed the system.img, becouse it was too big. When I tried to reboot the phone it was the same. The fastboot was no longer accessible. I put the phone into servis but they didn't fixed it. it's the same but I can enter erecovery

You should try huawei service center....

Phone boots fine but cant enter recovery or fastboot.

I have an honor 9 lld-l21 with unlocked bootloader and i had twrp and magiskintalled but i wanted to update to the latest version so i tried updating without changing anything and i would get errors in twrp so i flashed the stock ramdisk and nothing happened then used huawei update extractor And extracted recovery_ramdis.img and it WAS written like recovery_ramdis.img and i patched recovery ramdisk in twrp with this file then rebooted the phone it boots normally and i can do whatever i want inside the phone but when i tried updating it downloaded the update powered off and then tried to get in recovery but it couldn't and booted in to the phone and said update failed i tried factory reseting my phone but same thing happenes, it shuts down tries to open recovery, it cant then boots to normal phone and says factory reset failed. I tried using adb to reboot to recovery or fastboot but it cant, it shuts down the phone, goes to open recovery or fastboot then opens the phone normally. So i cant patch the phone with any stock firmware or anything like that because i cant load into fastboot. I tried using hisuite and using the system recovery option there and it tells me theres nothing wrong with my phone. Its like i deleted fastboot and recovery from my phone.
Note : i am not in a bootloop i can enter the phone fine and do whatever inside infact im posting this with my phone i just cant enter fastboot or recovery or erecovery or anyhting.
Please help. :crying:

OK you have knackered your recovery, you still haven't told me how you try to enter fastboot.
Try this to enter fastboot, from phone off while holding Vol Down connect to PC with USB lead.
Should enter fastboot where you can then flash a new recovery partition.
