P7 Help needed - Huawei Ascend P7

Hello thanks for reading!
I have a ascend p7, wich i once rooted but then i got my P8.
Now i want to sell the P7 and i decided to factory reset the P7, then things got messy.
if i turn on the phone i get a message that the boot failed, i can press the volume down key to get into rescue mode, or hold the power button to shut down
Its the l10 model and i am from the netherlands. downloaded some roms but can't install those through SD card.
Hope someone can help me out!
Thanks

you need to boot into bootloader mode..
then you have to flash the right boot.img and recovery.img of the original rom you want to install..
after that put the update.app (of the rom you want - it must be a full rom!!) onto a sdcard inside folder named "dload"..
perform a force update by pressing power and both volume +&- together until the recovery appears..
the phone should install the rom and after that automatically reboot into OS..
all steps are written thousand times inside the p7 forum..
pls search for the steps if you don't know how to proceed..
good luck

Sorry, didn't notice that part. That's just weird... Don't get me wrong but have you actually tried to force update after flashing stock recovery?

It is always a good idea to do a twrp backup .... I Learned it the hard Way
So Heres WHat to do ..
1 ) Download Stock Recovery from HERE
2 ) Turn Phone in Fastboot mode and Flash recovery using this command (You should be in the place where you placed the recovery.img)
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3 ) After Flashing Turn Off the Phone and Takeout The SDcard
4 ) Make A folder named dload in the sdcard and copy update.APP into dload folder
5 ) While Phone is turned OFF put sdcard into phone and switch on phone with The vol+ and vol- and power button
6 ) Phone Should boot in Stock Recovery and Stock ROM Should Be FLashed
Hope This Helps
EDIT : I am Also Making Flashable Zip file for P7-L10 ... If You Used updater-Script from other variant of P7 Then After Flashing Zip File /System will be erased and nothing in written in that directory ...so it is no use flashing only boot.img

I tryed that so many times but nothing,phone still canot boot,he offers me shutdown or fastboot mode.I think that you are right about making flashable zip,I think that I choose in model option P6 instead unknown and maybe phone now have wrong files a because of that he canot do anything.I noticed that even I canot do every commands true fastboot(erase,format...)..I get error.(look at the attachment)
At the attachment you wil see where my phone is stuck at the moment...
P.S. After flashing yours recovery.img phone now stuck on Huawei logo and light blink red,green,red,green...and thats all..
From which rom is that recovery..b.121,126?
Flash on fastboot mode original recovery. Copy your sdcard dload folder B126 (or b121) fw. And then flash two times vol+ and vol- and power button.
Hope it helps...

Sorry bit I dont understand these part..how do you mean " flash two times vol+ and vol- and power button"?
Do you mean "press two times vol+-power buttons?
First, flash the 3button method (volt and vol- and power button). When finish and you came bootloop, flash again this 3button3button method.
Sorry my bad English.

Mate but I cant flash with "3 button method",phone just rebooting in circle.Phoe doesnt react on buttons,only to long VOL- to go in secure mode and long power to shutdown phone.
If you have update.app file in dload folder on sd card first shutdown the phone. Then pres vol+, vol- and power button at the same time until you see ascend logo. If you have flashed original recovery it now should start force update. If phone vibrates before ascend logo shows up just try again. It should't vibrate before going to recovery.

You Should Not Have Done That .... That Updater-script is too reckless ... now Either You have To Wait for Stock Flashable Rom or Assuming Your Phone is in warranty .. Go to Huawei Service Center . Tell Them That Your Phone Got Stuck While Updating To B126 and You Switched It off and were Stuck in Fastboot mode .. They Should Fix It For ya ... You Should Always Make TWRP Backup and you should have looked at updater-script of P6 Roms ... Always Ask Any Senior Member

I also could only boot in to rescue mode one time, then i saw that the bootloader was locked again... Had installed TRWP and that was the reason the phone did not boot again. Could also not flash anything anymore because of locked bootloader.
Had to unlock the bootloader again with the code i got from the chinese huawei site.
Then afther unlocking i could get back into TRWP again or flash another recovery, rom or boot.img
Dont know if this is the case with your phone......

No,it's not.Look at the post number 8. the second attached picture.As you can see rescue mode recomend that I run HiSuite on PC and turn USB cable and really,HiSuite recognize phone and than start search some kind of programs or something on the internet.I leave phone in that state all night hoping that hisuite will find some repair stuff or program but nothing.

I cant figure out my problem

Hello everybody !
I'm here today because i have a problem I can not figure out.
When I got my ascend p7 I download a room I found on this website called "My rom v3.3 B609" to enjoy the emiu 3. Everything works fine, I am really happy of this rom. But I wanted to upgrade my phone, in order to get android L. It's been more than two months that I try, look for answers and so on but nothing works.
Everytime that I want to flash a new rom, the CWM ( 6.0.5.0 ) tells me " installation aborded". And no matter what rom it is, it does not work. I've heard about the Notepad method but I can not find the sentences to delete.
I am really stuck, I can not even downgrad. My CWM wont let me do anything.
So if somebody could tell me what is the problem, it would be really good.
Thank you in advance !
in order to flash a original firmware you need to replace the cwm with the designated recovery.img of the rom you want, also you need to flash the boot.img of the same rom you want..then you have to force update with the 3 button method..
search around the forum..it is described several timea in many threads..

Download B852 official ROM and copy it to root of your SD card to a new folder "dload"
It should look like this "/dload/UPDATE.APP"
Extract UPDATE.APP (on your computer) using Huawei Update Extractor (all files)
Go into bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
Now open command line and use ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) to send following commands to your phone:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
Now force update by turning off your phone, and turing him back on while holding all 3 buttons pressed down.
When screen comes on release the Power button but keep holding both Volume rockers pressed down until you see an EMUI logo.
If for any reason it fails to install, go back into recovery and do Wipe data/Factory Reset, and than try again.
Let us know how it went

Fullbricked Mate S - No signs of life whatsoever

I have a Huawei Mate S CRR-L09 with the B145 Firmware installed on it. Yesterday I tried upgrading to the latest official Marshmallow version (B321). In order to do so I was told by a german Huwei blog to upgrade to B303 first. I could not complete the first update, since TWRP gave me an error that the zip could not be installed ("error executing updater binary in zip"). So I assumed, the "update.zip" did not go through.
Since I was at work and had no time I didn't proceed in trying. That was in the early afternoon.
FAST FORWARD
Later at night I went to bed, changed the alarm clock, pressed the "Power" button to turn off the display and put the smartphone aside. About 10-20 seconds later the display woke up and was fully white. The phone was unresponsive and the only thing I could do was to power it off by pressing and holding the "Power" button for about 10 seconds. Since then the Mate S is dead:
- Can not turn it on anymore
- No way to get into recovery or download mode
- No sign of life when connected to a Windows computer (USB 2.0) or power outlet (status LED won't turn on)
- adb on Windows won't recognize the device
The battery was not full when it got bricked, but it had at least enough power to last the whole night (maybe something like 30-70%, don't know anymore).
Do you think a USB Jig or Jtag would help? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also noteworthy is that I changed my SIM card the same day as well. It's from a new carrier so I got the new carrier settings installed via SMS.
before doing an update read carefully what you have to do before updating!
everywhere in the huawei section (from p6 to p8 and all the mate series) you can read that you can't make an official update with a custom recovery..
so..what you can try to do is to get into fastboot mode or recovery mode (second should bring you to twrp)..when you are there you might be able to restart your phone on fastbootmode which allows you to flash the stock recovery.img of the b145 (how to get stock img files is described in the thread named "huawei update extractor" - just search for it)..
sometimes it takes some time (more than 15seconds until the phone shows some reaction..just try it..
had a similar problem with my old p6..was frustrated..but after a calm down and some research i found on the p6-section some workaround..
good luck

Oops, alright. Well, I don't think my failed try in updating was the origin of the brick, do you? The whole install progress did not went through.

How am I supposed to get into fastboot or recovery? Pressing (and holding) the required buttons (Vol Up + Power) don't do anything.
you tried to install stock firmware through a custom recovery, and that "softbricked" your phone..
press the buttons longer..if there is jo reaction, well, than you should ask for a service

I'm not too sure about that, since I went on using the phone in everday life without any problems. Just at the end of the day my phone gave up, so to speak.
Well, I could keep on rambling about the "coulds" and "woulds"... Anyways, pressing those buttons even longer didn't do anything.
then contact a support/dealer for repair..
this may cause costs..
sry for that..

Thanks for the help anyways. I was hoping someone has had similar experiences and suggests a foolproof method like using a JTAG or whatnot.
maybe you´re lucky and still have an update.app file in your dload folder. Try pressing vol+, vol- and power all together. then when the huawei logo apperas, release the power button but keep holding the vol+ and vol-. after a while the EMUI Update prozess will start. this could solve your problem.
2 years after, I do the same!
my crr-ul20 is dead by wrong firmware; no sign of life and ther is no solution on the forum.

Debrand Huawei p9

Hello everybody, I am trying to debrand my new Huawei p9. I have tried the dload method explained in the development section but I can't manage to make the upgrading start: when I press both volume buttons and turn on (with the downloaded dload folder inside the micro SD) the device simply vibrates two times and then reboot. Do you know if I am doing anything wrong or if there are other methods? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot
PS: I'm sorry if I am opening a new thread but xda doesn't let me reply to the original thread because I don't have the right to post in the development section of the forum.
You must press them at the same time, turn off the device and press the vols buttons first and them the power button. The .rar/.zip must be uncompressed on the SD.
HI thank you for your help, but that is exactly what I did: unzipped the file (which contained only the dload folder) and put it in the root of the micro sd. I turned off the phone and pressed the volume buttons (up and down) together and then pressed the power button. The phone vibrated twice then the logo appeared then the screen became back and then again the logo and this loop continued until I stopped pressing the volume buttons. Anyway I don't have the phone with me now so I'll try again tomorrow. Will it work also if I put the dload folder inside the internal memory?
put file, sd card dload folder work. I dont try in internal memory.

only hold down the volume up and down keys with power at same time until you see the Huawei logo then let go. do not carry on holding them down - this is what was causing your phone to loop
Thanks for the help it worked! I spent so much time trying to understand what I was doing wrong while it was so simple.

Hello,
I would like to debrand my phone. I read some guide here and I will use srk tool.
Now I'm on c02b133.
Which is the correct procedure?
have I to install via dload c432b136, go to c900 and then unlock bootloader, root e oem info file?
Or have I to unlock bootloader, root, oem info file and then flash the rom c432?.
I have this doubt because in some post, someone told to reinstall stock recovery after root, and forced the installation of the stock rom..so I'm not sure about correct way.
Thank to everyone

I have a branded L09C150B182 huawei P9 phone.
Is it possible to change the firmware to a C432 in order to debrand it?
If yes, how can I do it? I am totally new to Huawei.

3.) After installing C900 firmware, I used the dload method to upgrade to C432 firmware e.g. by using the following dload method

Don't worry, just flash a stock rom again using the dload method... this one for example.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
You will have to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and SuperSU again if you want root.
Hi colthekid,
thanks for your fast reply. I tried the dload method yesterday but it was not working. The Firmware from Flash Card in the phone was not loaded.
So I have to press both volume + and volume - and power to make that happen?
I just took a brand new Flash Card (without formatting the same in the phone) and copied over the dload Folder from the link above.
Maybe there is an issue because I am still having an open bootloader?
Thanks, morro

Yep, phone turned off, hold vol up & vol down then press power until boots into erecovery. Update should start automatically. Don't have phone connected to PC, although mains power is fine.
The dload folder (with update files inside) needs to be at the root of the SD card (not inside another folder) so a blank/formatted card is good. An unlocked bootloader is irrelevant, I've done this with both an unlocked and a locked bootloader and the update process locks it again anyway.
When you tried before did the update start in erecovery, but fail at a %, or did you not get into erecovery?

Hi. Yesterday when I tried the dload on SD Card it did not boot into erecovery at all. It went into a Screen where "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted .... Your device is booting now... " was shown. Here the System stuck until forever. But maybe I did not hold vol up & vol down and pressed power Long enough. At the moment I can not turn the phone of as it always boots again when I try to turn it off. Hopefully this is not a Problem.
Do I copy over the complete dload Folder or only the UPDATE.app file? As far as I remember there were two other subfolders in the dload Folder. Are These required as well?
I will try today evening after work and let you know if it is working. Thanks

At the moment I can not turn the phone of as it always boots again when I try to turn it off. Hopefully this is not a Problem.
Do I copy over the complete dload Folder or only the UPDATE.app file? As far as I remember there were two other subfolders in the dload Folder. Are These required as well?
I will try today evening after work and let you know if it is working. Thanks

The "device has been unlocked" screen is before booting into system (with 3 instructions) or a shorter one before either erecovery or TWRP (no messages). That's standard and nothing to worry about, it just shows your bootloader is unlocked.
Copy everything over and into the dload folder . So for the B136 stock rom, the dload folder should contain update.app and the hw and dt folders. Some updates may only have an update.app bit.
It's easier if the phone was off, but whatever state the phone is in, press and hold both volume keys and power & keep them held until you enter erecovery. Think you can let go of them once the phone boots, but I've always kept them pressed untill the update starts.
Thank you very much for your help colthekid
I successfully updated to B136 and afterwards to B182
It worked out fine :good:
So c432 is the unbranded rom? Where are you from? What is the c150 like in comparison? I also have the c150 (Austria) and do ned find any branding (loading screen or preinstalled apps).
Did you already got an update to nougat?
