[FIX]Marshmallow BOOTLOOP - Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion

OK people, so i bring another (hopefuly helpful to someone) exprecience with BOOTLOOP.
Problem: I had stock B200 firmware (5.0.2). I wanted to try beta update of marshmallow, so i decided to try it. It was told me i can update directly from B200 one, so i just copied update.zip to DLOAD folder, went to settings and run local update. The phone restarted, booted into recovery and started flashing. BUT, i forgot that i had custom TWRP recovery and not stock one, anyway, TWRP started flashing the zip, error after error, but some files still copied and bricked the phone. I couldnt start any recovery, just fastboot and some mode that should download online file and reflash system, but it would be very easy so it has error too.
Here is what i did:
1. Download the update zip of marshmallow you were trying to flash and unpack UPDATE.APP
2. Extrac: RECOVERY.img and BOOT.img
3. set phone to fastboot mode and flash extracted BOOT.img, then RECOVERY.img
4. after that, you need somehow copy whole B200 firmware into sdcard / dload folder (i took micro sd and inserted into another phone, then copied it)
5. now you can boot into force flashing mode (power + volume up + volume down buttons) and it automaticaly reflash whole system.
6. after reboot you can use your P8

OK, i got it work!

I did exactly the same mistake as you and the same steps to fix it. I flashed those 2, places the update.app + the other files to dload and then 3 button update and I got to the huawei music and animation. Then it restarted.
mega:///#!IEhCRaRR!GT6Ds9EywDoW5Dd8ZdKVesyQUItbiSwCPaapFhAenEY
is the file I use.
Is there any advice you could give?

okay, do this:
in fastboot flash those files from Marshmallow B313: recovery.img, boot.img and cust.img
then try to flash rollback, the CUST.img is very important to flash

If you are on 5.0.1 with root and twrp then you are good, or do you want try BETA? if yes then you need stock recovery flash before flashing beta

Hi,
You have to flash stock recovery via ADB. Only image 1 not 2. Than you can easy flash a stock rom via dload Method.

Hi,
I need help... I'm trying to go back to stock recovery & firmware, I have already tried everything and I'm absolutely fustrated:crying::crying::crying:
1.- I had TWRP recovery and MIUI, the phone (ASCEND P7-L10) is rooted
2.- After downloading flashify and the stock recovery, I have installed the stock recovery, everything OK.
3.- Rebbot into recovery and when I try to wipe data and/or cache it says:
data wipe completed (or cache wipe completed)
huawei cust fail
If I try to install any ROM B120, B126, B133, B135... I always get the same error, "cust fail"
If I reboot the phone still has MIUI... but I need to restore to factory recovery/firmware...
Help needed, I'm going to hit the roof...
thanks in advance!
Put your original firmware on dload in sd card, flash original recovery with fastboot or flashify, shut down your phone. Now press power volume- and volume+ ! This will install the original firmware.

Use only original stock cust.img extracted from stock ROM. I always do it in this order:
1. Download mode and flashing stock recovery
2. Recovery mode and wipe (both option)
3. Download mode and flashing cust.img
4. Recovery mode and wipe (both option)
5. If still error go download mode and flash:
cust.img, cache.img, userdata.img, system.img
6. Recovery mode and wipe (both option)
I had many times this error while reverting my B135 after MIUI ROM.

Well, after flashing again recovery, boot, cust and forcing an update... I get the same fuc**** error, mm... As you have told me, I guess I do not have the right files for my Vodafone Spain P7-L10
I'm going to look for the right firmware, thanks a lot!!!
==== SEVERAL ATTEMPS LATER AND SOME HOURS LATER... SOLVED!!! ====
I've made svarious attemps with diferent ROMs, B126 and B121, while I was downloading original stock ROM from Huawei.
All of these attemps have failed, even flashing cache, userdata and system
But after downloading original stock rom, as soon as I have flashed cust everything started to work perfectly, wipes... firmware...
So, THAAAAANKS A LOOOOOOOT!

Huawei has released an official downgrade ROM (B603) here (russian site):
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=38601&version=66144&siteCode=ru
You'll also need this official EMUI 3.0 recovery image:
https://mega.co.nz/#!ZZ9QxIiL!Cn4mV2ZG2zzFc956CoWQh4BnBQqyK4rClghlY8CoXQk
As well as fastboot/ADB (platform tools) files here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632011
Now here's how you do it.
Copy the dload folder (found in ROM) to the root of your SD Card
Now turn off your phone
While off press and hold Vol Down & Power Key, when screen turns on release Power Key, but keep holding the Vol Down key until you see a white screen (fastboot mode)
Now decompess files from platform tools to a new folder called ADB on your desktop for example
Hold down Shift and right click on ADB folder on your Desktop and choose "run command windows here", a little black window should pop up
Now type:
fastboot devices - this is to check if your phone is correctly detected (if not, then drivers are needed. Just install HiSuite)
fastboot flash recovery stockEMUI3.0RECOVERY.img
fastboot reboot
Your phone will now boot into your current OS. Go to Settings>Updates>Local Update
This will install the downgrade ROM from russian Huawei site (B603)
After this is installed your phone will boot into your current OS again. This time delete UPDATE.APP from dload folder and put your stock firmware in there.
Now repeat the process Settings>Update>Local Update
This time it will finally install that stock KitKat with EMUI 2.3 OMG !!! Finally !!!
God i hope i'll never have to do this again

I think you should put the update.zip in the /dload/ folder
but you need to extract that from the zip, if you open the zip file you will see a dload folder already, just put that at the root of your phone internal storage

Try making sure the MM Beta update you down is just called update.zip and put that in /dload/
then go to settings...update...press menu and select local update....and then you can choose the update you want to apply

Oh yes sorry.
Try placing the original download...named update.zip in /dload/ (don't extract any items from the zip) and then restart device whilst volume + and - is pressed at the same time
Also try a factory reset if you can't get passed boot...do that by pressing volume + when u restart
Also try downloading files again I've had corrupt downloads very often.
Read the threads about extracting boot.IMG, cust.IMG, system.IMG and recovery.IMG from the B145 update.app file using huaweiupdateextractor....it may help

Could you do some small tutorial how to flash via fastboot ? I found this post and i don't know exacly what should i do:
bgx said:
I boot into fastboot and flash via fastboot cust.img, boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, data.img (Hope that I haven't forget something) from the B145 full firmware extracted with huawei extractor.
Then reboot and do a full factory reset with stock recovery.
Reboot and then do the partialupdate B303.
After that again full factory reset.
And then it worked!

As far as I know, you need to go to settings and enable - OEM Unlock....but this option is only available in 5.1.1...its not available in B303 Beta...however it does return in B321 Beta.
However as you cant turn phone on you wont be able to get to settings...so you cant unlock bootloader

NEM-L21 bricked, bootlooped after trying to go back to 6.0

Dear XDA members,
Maybe someone could help me.
I was using the beta Nougat on my 5C (7lite - NEM-L21) and I decided I would like root. I installed Nougat TWRP and went well then I've encountered problem when installing supersu.zip - data problems, so I googled (damn google specialists) so I wiped system and DATA. I left myself without any operating system. So I managed to instal Lineage 13 for P9lite-Honor 5C.
But no, that was not enough, I tried again to install the beta update + patch for NEM-21... And thats it no more Lineage 13 no more nothing. After that I have installed TWRP through ADB and I could not go into it. So again google - I managed somehow to install original B132 firmware (before it I installed recovery taken out of B132) and it go through installation with success.
Unfortunately that's it - phone stays in the HONOR logo and nothing more - ah yes I did clean to factory through Honor original recovery.
Can ANYONE help me solve my problem, or you think it's a lost cause?:good:

I will have to send it to Service in Huawei.
If anyone encounters my problem please use method passed by fellow xda member y4c1ne .
1- Extract the update.zip from this thread, u'll find an Update.app. Open it using huawei update extractor, and then extract BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, SYSTEM.img to adb folder.
2- Boot your phone into bootloader (shut it down, press volume down - then connect it to your computer)
3- Flash the files extracted from UPDATE.APP using these commands
Code:
-fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
-fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
-fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img (this will take some time so be patient).
Again thanks for help: y4c1ne

PRA-LX1 I want to install stock firmware.

I want to flash my phone with stock firmware, but I cannot find it anywhere.
I am looking for PRA-LX1C738B123.
I own Huawei p8 lite 2017
I wiped my system because I wanted to install other rom, it didn't work so I want to go back to the original.
Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to do a backup before so I am stuck atm. The bootloader is unlocked and flashing works, I can boot into huawei eRecovery and TWRP. (eRecovery gives the getting package info failed error) I have tried the dload method with other app files, it fails at 5% every time tho.
I tried using Huawei Update Extractor and Firmware Finder but I cannot find the exact firmware.
Could someone help me with installing my firmware? Oh and I am kinda new and it would be nice to get some guides,
Thanks.
I have the same problem but with a different firmware.. now only thing i can do is use dc-phoenix paid software (15$ for 72h of use). I will try that tomorrow as i also can't find exact same firmware it was on my phone.

Thanks for reply. I will take that into consideration, but from what I see you were looking for PRA-LX1C432B106 and they indeed have the c432 roms there, however they don't seem to have the ones that I have been looking for. They have a list of firmwares online. Anyway good luck.

Could someone help me with installing my firmware? Oh and I am kinda new and it would be nice to get some guides,
Thanks.

Hello ! I think I could be of some help since I encountered the exact same problem !
edit: well I just realized I can't find your ROM with firmware finder either, sorry for the failed attempt
In your case I'd try with each firmware until one would work or a I tried them all.
You need some utilities first :
- Firmware Finder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
It will allow you to find the stock ROM that fits your model
-Huawei UPDATE extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
It will allow you to extract the .img files from the firmware previously downloaded.
-fastboot and adb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.

Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

Thanks for help! I tried but i dont' have factory reset option. All I have is Shutdown, reboot and "Download leastest version and recovery" and after I click that all it does is wants internet connection. I logged in to my wifi but it didn't work and I ended up with "getting package info failed screen".

Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

I got rom that allows me to do a factory reset, it's stuck at 99% for like 2 hours now, is it normal? If not what should I do?

Unfortunately I can't help you further than what I already posted.
But keep updating in case someone more knowledgeable peeks in.
similar problem....I was fairly good but play store was stuck in pending download....
I did a wipe in TWRP, and ended with a black screen...
I can boot to eRecovery, but it fails.and also to TWRP.
when attached to PC it keeps being seen and unseen as if its stuck in a power on cycle
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Already Tested

Hello did you already test ???
Here is the solution for every PRA-LX1: [http : // www . htcmania . com / showthread . php ? t=1326478] (sorry for the spaces, but I don't have enough posts written to post external links )
Unfortunately, it's from a spanish forum. I didn't found any problem to follow this tutorial, but maybe for someone it could be a little difficult.
Anyway, it works!
MobileTechArena said:
Yes, but any PRA-LX1C432 i tried doesn't work for me, flashing by fastboot. I believe any PRA-LX1 should work on this phone, but i will need to use that dc phoenix software to flash it.

Where did you find the C432 firmware? I can't succees to find it
Flashing to a completely empty phone via DC phoenix or manual via fastboot still didnt got my device started. Sometimes I end up in the eRecovery and sometimes its just stuck at boot.
I tried different version from the hicloud but none so far did the trick. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction so i can finally rescue this phone?
EDIT:
PRA-LX1C432
Sorry cant link to these files since i don't got 10 posts. Maybe PM ?
Copied the Mega TWRP backup (B100) to SD card
Flashed TWRP via fastboot
Disconnected the USB cable
Boot into TWRP
Restored TWRP backup
Restarted phone into fastboot
OEM unlocked it
Got booted into TWRP since no stock recovery there
Booted into fastboot again
flashed stock recovery
Android started to work!
Tried to update to B164 and failed
Reboot
Now it offered B110 and I tried to update to B110. Success.

Also i noticed everytime a OTA fails you get the full version offered on next boot. So you should get a full B164 aswell after it failed

[TIPS] Revert Custom Rom to Official and untouched - Hard restore

Hi!
I see the large number of requests concerning the roolback of a custom rom to a official and untouched EMUI 4, i decide to create this thread.
After follow that methode, you able to rest on official EMUI and get the new update automatically on OTA (directly on your phone) OR try to install custom rom with a clear and good base version.
1. You ave access on TWRP?
-If not, pleas unlock your bootloader (again) and flash TWRP recovery for you actual version (marshmallow or nougat).
-perform a full wipe and restore your partitions on "ext4" format, shutdown phone.
2. Get a "oem_info.zip" for your model phone (dont extract the .zip) and push it on your internal or external sd.
-This archive contain cust and oem info for patched your phone at the correct manufacture information.
-I have a link for VNS-L31 (c432, but is not very important) HERE LINK
-If you have other model (VNS-L31) pleas find a correct patch for you (VNS-L21, ...).
3. Find and download a EMUI marshmallow official full-ota update.
-for a VNS-L31 i advice choice a VNS-L31C432B160 full-ota update.
4. Unpack your update archive.
5. Create "dload" folder on your internal or external sd and put it UPDATE.APP
6. Reboot phone on TWRP recovery and flash "oem_info.zip"
7. Use dload methode for update (hold 3 buttons phone and dont release before "dload screen" appears)
8. Unlock your bootloader again (important!) And make a factory reset
9. Your phone reboot (please wait ) and done!
Ok now you are on official version, please update on setting menu >> update and choice, rest on official or flash a custom rom..
P9 lite brick precision:
In my personal experience the "p9 lite" is very easy to flash, mod or other tips and the risk of HARD brick is very very tiny.
If you see this page and your phone bootloop, relax, keep calm at 99,999% you have a little and ridiculous brick
Good luck and flash happy!

I can do everything up to point 6... won't enter to twrp... stays on Your device is now booting...
Update: I can now reach point 7 but now won't do dload (3 buttons) method... Huawei logo all the time. Can't even turn off the phone
In my other thread you post the same problem but is not entirely the same..
You succeeded to enter on fastboot mode? Flash recovery?
If you follow the steps 1-5 is impossible to fail the 6 point..
You have acces on fastboot mode or not?..

I did update the post... 3 hours ago I wasn't able to enter TWRP, some way I did managed, now I can enter fastboot, I did flash custOEM (sorry I don't remember exactly the name but it's the one of your post) .zip file. Now I can't do dload method, stuck on huawei logo. If I try to go to recovery, I got red message "phone fail validation"...
I know, I post on both but I was trying to do everything...
just tried... validation red error message won't let me go to TWRP now...
You have a VNS-L31C432?
Your phone does not enter at dload mode?
Wipe all partitions an retry flash a oeminfo for your model phone (if not C432 you need right oeminfo).

How can I wipe all partitions if stuck in Huawei logo? Is there a way to do everything from adb command line? (I'm using Mac and cannot use all the tools I've found here XDA neither hiSuite which is basically a backup photo/video only the Mac version).
Thank for helping, really appreciate
To answer your question in the other thread, yes bootloader is unlocked and I am on C432.
What's your rom have before the bootloop?
You have the right version of TWRP for your rom?
If you have a MM version Don't flash a TWRP for N.
Send me a link to TWRP version used (thread forum)

Before the bootloop I was on L31C900 (on the phone) but I did actually flashed C432B160 because I did rollback. TWRP used I've found in the other post where there's a OEMfile to flash (but for this I need to double check because I did look so many pages which I am not 100% sure.
I not have experience on other model that C435.
But i suggest to find a oeminfo for your variant (C900?)
For TWRP you need flash a version for MarshMallow HERE
Flash it and pas return here (fastboot flash return and first enter to new recovery)
Hi, found Windows emulator for MacOs so I extract from update.app boot.img and flash.
I did format all partitions as told using a proper twrp this time.
What's next step, system says NO OS INSTALLED?

Flash partitions on .img files is not needed.
Just find a corect oeminfo for your model phone.
Flash it on TWRP recovery.
Use dload methode to update on basical version (MarshMallow b160).
After that, unlock bootloader again and make a factory reset.
Switch on your phone (the first boot make long time).
Update on last emui on OTA.
Done!
After that you able to install a custom rom.

Thanks again you're saving my life!
IT won't turn off so been always on it won't keep the charge... Writing so because apparently it won't go to download mode (dload) if plugged in. On the other way if I unplugged from power it won't even start. Shall I force to download mode using console ADB or FASTBOOT? I had looked but can't find anything...

Correct. Because I'm not able to switch it off it won't keep the charge. When discharged, the minute I do plug on charge it wakes up... That's the loop...
My main question is: does a command exist to enter download mode using terminal?

You have a hardware bug?
No abd command to enter dload mode..
Try flash a update.zip with twrp (not guaranted)
After that unlock bootloader again and make factory reset.

Hi, I followed this guide to go back to stock from elite rom. I flashed my oeminfo.img on twrp and then went to dload combination. Do I have to unlock the bootloader after the reboot? Thanks!
Hi,
I followed your guide and it works perfectly thanks!
