If you are sure bootloader is unlocked and using Linux OS, run fastboot commands as root/admin (as sudo).

Yes, im sure. On bootloader mode is in red color - Phone unlocked, but i not using Linux, im on Windows 7 and this not help me....

Try fastboot oem unlock - command again.
If still not works, try fastboot erase of that *.img file before flashing that new img file.

When i try this command...
c:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem get-bootinfo

the reason for this case, that you should not apply updates while you are rooted.
(assuming that you are in lollipop stock )I suggest you check for the driver .. try to run adb (when your phone is in the active state, not powered off)
now, reboot to bootloader and try any other fastboot commands, like fastboot reboot (just to check that fastboot is responding to the device drivers..)
if it does respond, then I'm afraid you have a serious problem, if it doesn't respond, then you have to deal with the drivers, or you have to double check if your phone is unlocked

erase cache command is blocked by huawei in fastboot irrespective of locked or unlocked state. somewhere i read unlock lost permissions after update. if you have not tried unlock after update try it. driver can also be an issue, install hisuite it comes with drivers.

Try this once,
copy firmware in folder 'dload' in sdcard root.
press vol up + vol down + power for 20 secs then release power but keep pressing vol up and vol down

okay. are you sure the bootloader is unlocked? no harm done. just hold vol down + power up. and you get that green android with white background and the text in RED that says UNLOCKED. if its LOCKED, get the UNLOCK CODE first. just a reminder, you can only fastboot flash those *.imgs if you are UNLOCKED. and there are only some files will be flashed properly (recovery.img, recovery2.img, boot.img, you can try). yes, you can use Huawei Update Extractor to get those files, even in Marshmellow files. but for reviving the phone, use B067 Kitkat or any Kitkat you can get from Huawei Downloads.
1. Get into bootloader mode. I guess you already know how to do that. Plug the phone to wall charger. Yes, leave it charged with white screen showing. Leave it until you finished preparing the PC.
2. Make sure you can use fastboot. You can use Minimal ADB and Fastboot.exe found somewhere in XDA. And make sure that it can detect the phone when you write fastboot devices. It will show up if set up properly.
3. Huawei Update Extractor + Any Kitkat firmware. Extract everything. Note the tags beside each .img inside that Update Extractor. Youre gonna need those tags in order to flash properly.
4. Copy all those *.imgs that extracted into Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Check program files (x86).
5. Now ready the pc by launching that minimal adb and fastboot.exe as admin. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
6. fastboot devices. pull the phone from wall charger. plug it to pc. listen to usb connecting sound and driver installation. hit enter and the device should show up.
7. This is where its getting interesting. remember the tags? use that tags like this.
RECOVERY.img = fastboot flash RECOVERY RECOVERY.img
BOOT.img = fastboot flash BOOT BOOT.img
CHECK THE TAGS BEFORE FLASHING!!! and yes, just 5 or less files will be flashed successfully. Ignore it. fastboot reboot it. Yes, its stuck, plug it to the wall again while we prepare the microsd.
8. update.app file. Put that update.app file inside /microsd/dload/update.app folder. Put the microsd inside the phone. Yes, its stuck.
9. Now do the force update. when you see the emui logo, immediately plug it back to wall charger. wait until 100% and it rebooted itself, and you can see the language selection screen again.
DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK. Ive already done it, I hope it worked for you too.

First...many thanks for your interest!
Look, about bootloader, on boot mode is in red PHONE UNLOCKED, i try this command in fastboot:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) unlocked
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem backdoor info
...
(bootloader) FB LockState: LOCKED
(bootloader) USER LockState: UNLOCKED
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: -0.000s
so what is FB Lockstate??Is my bootloader unlocked or locked??
Here is another command which i try....
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot -w
wiping userdata...
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
Can't determine partition type.
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
erasing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.000s
Cant derermine partition type - is this problem?
I also try this....
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 524288000 bytes
sending 'recovery' (25034 KB)...

It seems that fastboot write recovery (with your help i need use admin rights now this work) but i still cant boot to recovery no matter how...
I can also flash and backup boot and recovery via Flashify or Rashr and when i open backup with HEX editor it seems that i succesfully upload TWRP but still cannot acess TWRP recovery....
This is all what i try in this time, of course i read your help words about Huawei extractor etc. but not try at this time, i hope i explain more detailed my problem. Look im not a newbie, i allready flash etc. my Lenovo and P9 lite what i have here but not understand where can be problem in this Honor 4x, it seems like corrupted recovery partition or can be problem in read only/write partition - i play with this option before....
anyway - run as admin - this help me a lot i think, THX and wait your answer.
EDIT: one thing, you think that when i try flash stock recovery (i can, no problem of course) it will be work?
Update: Big success, i just try flash stock recovery B064b and now im in stock recovery menu, im surprised but what now? I want update to Marshmallow 6.0....?
But in stock recovery is: phone and the data cannot be recovered. Continue?
Oh sorry, this is about "not sd card inserted" problem
What will now progress? I have inside B130 firmware and want Marshmallow, also TWRP recovery must i flash now especially for B130 firmware for work?
Update: Yes, all working now, factory reset, recovery etc. you help me a lot, only if you can tell me what number of firmware must i upload for Marshmallow, thx
Last update: So finally, coz im too hurry and dont want wait for your answer :angel:, i just upload from local update first Android 5.1.1. after this 6.0 and all is perfect and working!
My big thanks and kisses goes to you zzztidurvirus, im lucky and still cant beleive that all works, again thx!!

I did once on Win to revert back to Stock from CM12.1 by using img from update.app file. For my case, it's the MM update.app not working, I couldn't flash img files into phone, then I tried to flash files from LP, it worked. I boot into LP ROM and update from there to MM.

Hey hey people.
I was trying to upgrade my friend's Honor X4 Che2-L11 variant to 6.0 age from it's lollipop and ****ed up - big time. It seems to have a recovery, and it bootloops. I can't get it to install any update.app though, it either errors or gets stuck/crashes at 5%.
Now I am trying to flash a individual stock recovery with fastboot. Like the guide by zzztidurvirus there, but whenever I try to issue flash command this is what I get:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'RECOVERY' (9304 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.258s]
writing 'RECOVERY'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.261s
- so basically any flash command sends OKAY, Writing Fails with Command not allowed. Bootloader is unlocked, "PHONE unlocked" on screen and same status messages from fastboot as Lulu up there when making queries.
What gives, what could I try still?

Sadly not, as I tried both running ADB fastboot as admin from administrator command line and I tried three different recovery images from huawei, 6.0 (because the flash went bad during attempt to flash a 4.1EMUI with 6.0 B506 ROM for CHE2-L11) - And it keeps denying the write attempt with the same message. More info on the flash: I tried to TWRP flash from 5.1 rom to the EMUI4.1 6.0 ROM following guide someone made with updateappflasher.zip or something, during the flash the phone just crashed 60% in the bar and after that the phone is boot looping into recovery but it can't do anything. Like said any attempt to flash a stock rom even if a recovery seems to exist when booting VOL+ & POWER at the same time, but it will fail if attempting to do wipe data/factory reset in 40% mark. Forced updater can also be accessed but again, thanks to the firmware situation the phone is in it does not flash anything beyond 5% without crashing and being stuck or just giving an error message outright.
Only thing I might have not have is the right kind of ADB drivers but googling about CHE2-L11 I really cannot find a ADB drivers for this phone for life of me and dealing with windows 10 these days makes it worse. At least it used to be that I was with windows 7, back when I myself unlocked the bootloader of the phone and rooted it myself, I have some memory of that being harsh to deal with too, as I had hard time getting drivers that worked right with the phone etc.
I will check into this... At this point my friend bought a new phone already but I still will try to fix the phone for him since I feel personally pretty bad for pretty big mess I made.
I will also try this with a windows XP machine I have still, it is meant entirely for different things but at times like these it is somewhat nice to have a XP around. At least the darn driver problems are not a problem.
UPDATES:
I unbricked the phone. The stock recovery was intact enough for just a normal dload install of a update.app from huawei - why it did not initially work was probably the USB connection to computer and/or 64gig microSD card my friend had, not being compatible with Huawei's recovery updater. I myself had a 8gig card around which worked and I restored the phone ultimately to a 6.0 official ROM. I also went ahead to root it - and final find really was that the reason why recovery etc. would not flash, was because I wrote "fastboot flash RECOVERY twrp.img" - instead of "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - the latter works, and the all caps for "RECOVERY" results in illegal command error - and it was no bigger than that.
Meanwhile even after sorting this all out my friend already ended up buying a new phone so it hurts but I hope some other people find some info here useful.

Sprint htc m8 stuck at udating partition details

Stock Rom kitkat 4.4.2 rooted, unlocked, s-off. Was in recovery and accidentally hit the "middle button". Been stuck on "updating partition details" for 12 hours. I've searched and can't find the answer, but I'm relatively new so maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. Please be somewhat specific as the jargon is also something I am learning.

You were trying to update firmware using twrp?
First, I would suggest plugging your phone into a wall outlet and charging it until it's fully charged. You can get to the bootloader with the phone off by pressing power + volume down. Afterwards, I suggest running the latest RUU, not simply a FUU. This is done from the bootloader, not TWRP.

How do i run it? Flash to where? Where should my sdk and adb be on my computer? Is there a more recent version of the tool kit? Do i want to flash from oem ruu? I used to have a bunch of different utilities on my computer and erased what I could fine but there is adb all over the place...I have a few phones...unfortunately. Do i need to relock bootloader?

unable to flash recovery on CRR-UL00

Hi all - I'm not entirely stupid, but I'm probably doing something basically wrong here.
I'm trying to convert my Chinese CRR-UL00 to something a bit more western, but still with dual SIMs, so converting it to Middle East/Africa model seems like a good idea. I'm not interested in root or even a custom recovery in the long term. I just want to change regions.
I have been trying to follow the instructions both here and elsewhere but am getting stuck early in the process. I've tried a bunch of different things so my phone may be in an odd state.
I have, I believe, unlocked the bootloader via DC-Unlocker. When I reboot into the bootloader (using adb reboot bootloader) I get a white screen with a header that says "Fastboot&Rescue mode", an Android icon, and "Phone Unlocked" in red underneath.
Attempting to flash a TWRP recovery.img using fastboot doesn't seem to have any effect, even though fastboot reports it has successfully transferred the image. Trying to boot into recovery - either using adb/fastboot or vol+/power keys results in the phone hanging at the Huawei logo at bootup. I've also tried to flash back a "stock" recovery.img. At no time have I been able to get the fastboot menu on the phone - it's either the white screen with no options, or the phone hanging at the Huawei logo.
Despite all this the phone will still operate normally! When operating normally the phone now reports its running CRR-UL00C00B172.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? What recovery.img should I use?
Thanks for any help!

I'm not home right now but from memory the one I've used was named somthing like TWRP-2.8.7.0-Carrera.img
Thank you for the quick reply. I've had some time to have another go at this. Still can't seem to get TWRP recovery onto the phone...
It seems to flash...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery twrp3.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (24454 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.532s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.242s]
finished. total time: 0.787s
but then rebooting and holding down various keys to get into Recovery, I either get a hang at the Huawei logo, or I eventually end up back at the stock recovery. (I think if it boots to the full OS it overwrites any TWRP recovery)
What is the actual key combo to get into recovery? Various web pages report different combos:
- vol+ and vol- and power
- vol+ and power
- ?? something else
Many thanks,
wd

but then rebooting and holding down various keys to get into Recovery, I either get a hang at the Huawei logo, or I eventually end up back at the stock recovery. (I think if it boots to the full OS it overwrites any TWRP recovery)
What is the actual key combo to get into recovery? Various web pages report different combos:
- vol+ and vol- and power
- vol+ and power
- ?? something else
Many thanks,

- flash stock recovery
- boot device normaly
- go into developersettings and look for OEM-Unlock
- if available, enable it. if not go to fastboot mode and use "OEM-Unlock" command with code again. (sometimes the bootloader isn´t unlocked fully on first try)
- then try to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0
- fastboot reboot
anyway whats your current build?
i can only access recovery via. "adb reboot recovery" command
Thanks for the help. Clearly I'm doing something wrong.
On rebooting normally after flashing recovery I don't see an OEM-unlock option in Developer Options. Attempting to fastboot oem unlock again gives me failed, already unlocked.
I've tried four different downloads of TWRP recovery from different places, I've even tried different adb/fastboot binaries to make sure that's not the issue. The TWRP recovery images I have are:
25,040,896 bytes (three different downloads, and I've seen one or two sites that claim this is only for the L09 version)
25,378,816 bytes (from a random Chinese web site that says its for the CRR-UL00 B131)
I'm on CRR-UL00C00B172. I wonder if I need to flash everything back to something earlier? (e.g. I have a full download of UL00C00B153).
wd
OK, success!
At some point I ended up in stock recovery and it suggested to download and install UL00C00B131. (why B131? Maybe because at some point I had been using the Chinese download with B131 on it?). Did so.
adb reboot bootloader
relock and unlock to confirm unlock is definitely working in fastboot
fastboot reboot
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
...now I'm into TWRP!
Thanks all for your help.
wd
...and now I've got it localised to MEAFNAF (C433) - so still dual SIM but with Google Play by default etc. Running CRR00-UL00C433B146 which is available from Huawei.
I followed these instructions. (based on the original Russian post but much better than Google Translate
At the end, the install of update.app hung at 90%. Using vol+/power to get into recovery dropped me into a Chinese recovery (probably from the recovery.img I flashed back to remove TWRP). Factory resetting from recovery resulted in booting to the full OS, but I didn't get the option to enter a Google ID in setup and the full OS was dog slow with a black home screen.
Doing another factory reset, I was then asked for a Google ID during setup, and this time resulted in a fully functioning Googley OS.
I understand I won't get OTA updates as I've changed my localization, so I'll keep an eye out for the final Marshmallow release from Huawei's web site.
I hope this thread is useful to others.

normaly i would say "you fu***** it up because you didn´t read the other threads before you do some random s***" but i´m not going to write it today.
There are no special drivers for fastboot. the "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" package has everything needed.
If you phone isn´t recognized as android device:
- delete the drivers in the device-manager from windows. (Sometimes a restart solve problems)
- disconnect your phone from the computer first.
- boot your phone into fastboot mode.
- reconnect it.
then you should be able to flash via fastboot.
If fastboot shows something like "command not allowed", your device is probably FRP locked right now.

you have to search the drivers manualy. path should be minimal adb folder.
the frp unlock can be removed vie developer settings but you can´t access them.
which boot.img and recovery.img did you flash? if it´s from a mate s rom, then it shouldn´t affect your phone.
you could also try something else. take a micro sd card. place the dload folder with your current update.app in it. then boot your phone with vol+ (or vol + and vol-) and power. it then should do an force update.

well... i already wrote it in other threads that using an twrp backup, which is not yours can FRP lock you device. since you can´t boot your device, you also can´t remove the FRP lock. with the FRP Lock you can´t flash any files.
so you need an uncorrupted TWRP backup from someone with the same mate s model you have.
if you´re on stock recovery, try what i wrote the last post. Place dload folder with the Update.app for you model on an sd card and boot into update mode with VOL+ (and VOL- depending on the recovery version) and Power button at the same time.

no the werid thin is
when i restored the twrp backup it actually booted thats when i tried to falsh the stock recovery and boot image
and i already tried with the hardware buttons
Vol+ gets me to Huawei eRecovery (tries to download firmware over wifi but failes)
Vol- gets me to fastboot mode
and btw that only works when i turn the phone off and hold the button and connect the usb cable
without the cable i automaticly get into rescue mode
with eiter
Error!
Func NO : 10 (boot image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
or

You have Ton press vol+ and vol- and power button all at the same time with the cable Unplugged. If you have an Update.App on your SD Card it will automatically Start the process without asking any questions.

well i don´t know where to start. just give an short explanation about the Huawei Recovery system.
The Huawei Mate S hast 2 ("TWO") recoverys installed. Recovery.img and Recovery2.img. just for safety reason if someone or something f***s up the primary recovery.img (first recovery). the first one is also the one you normaly swap with the TWRP backup.
The Huawei Mate S can be booted in 4 ("four") different modes
1. normal boot into android
2. boot into fastboot&rescue mode
3. boot into reset mode (twrp recovery if you swap recovery.img)
4. boot into update mode
you can reach menu 2-4 with vol+ and/or vol-. As long as you haven´t replaced bot recovery images. the button combinations vary depending on the flashed recovey(2).img version.
mode 4 only starts if you have an FULL UPDATE file in an dload folder in your internal or sd storage.
the update mode is the one that takes up to 30 seconds to start after the vibration. Keep holding the associated buttons and the power button until the device vibrates. then relase the powerbutton but keep holding the other buttons. then wait. after a while a cirlce with "EMUI update" will appear and install the update file you placed into the dload folder.
this method worked for me when i f****ed up and i also found some other thread with the same problem you have. did the same thing i just explained

you don´t need to power it off. you can also reboot into the updatemenu from fastboot menu. just hold all buttons long enough and wenn the screen goes black, release the powerbutton after vibration.
sd card musst be fat32 i think

can you do an factory reset in the eRecovery?
if not, try
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
in fastboot&rescue mode.
it´s possible that there is an incremental update file in your internal storage.
which update. app did you use? should be the last working version you used.

CRR-UL00 or L09?
the eRecovery differs depending on the version used. i for example can factory reset via eRecovery.
It´s also strange that you can´t access the force update mode. this is an basic function you can´t erase.

P8 lite 2017 stuck in boot screen

My phone is stuck in boot screen since last night. Powering it off it just boot and stuck again. I've never modded the phone. It's stock with 2 months of life. I can access EMUI recovey menu to wipe cache or factory reset and connecting it to a pc and pressing volumkey down+bootkey It enter in FASTBOOT&RESCUE mode.
Is there something I can do to access phone memory? I really need to save some files.
I thought I could use adb to pull the files I need but I suppose I've usb debug disabled so the device is not recognized. It's recognized by fastboot.
Try to extract the following partitions: boot, recovery, cust & system with Huawei Updater Extractor and flash them manually by.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Of course you need to download the right firmware for your variant.

I guess you can flash stock images even if your bootloader is locked.
about firmware variant: something like pra-lx1c432b115
try to reflash stock boot.img only if fastboot is recognized, I've the phone about 2 week and no issues for now.

I dont understand why the phone is not seen as adb device. I think usb debug is enabled because I used hisuite some days ago and I think that software needs it enabled
My phone is also stuck at the boot screen, I guess I have the same issue. My phone is also about 2 months old, not rooted, not unlocked, original software.

I assume that I'm not able to flash anything because my phone is locked and USB-debugging is not enabled on the phone through settings (and I cannot get there since the phone doesn't boot into Android). When I connect my phone to the PC the Hisuite does open automatically but it doesn't show any phone, nor cannot recover it through that software.
If only I could flash anything on the phone, that would be a step forward in reviving this phone. Does anyone have ideas?

I guess you mean unlock bootloader? I emailed Huawei with the question if I could get Unlock Bootloader code. To get that I need the phone's serial number, IMEI number and product ID. The first two I have, the product ID I can't get, because I cannot boot into Android and dial *#*#1357946#*#*. I read somewhere that there is an algorithm to figure out the product ID, there's even an Huawei Product ID Generator.exe, but the P8 lite 2017 isn't supported. If I know the product ID I can get the Unlock Bootloader code, unlock the bootloader and hopefully flash a new recovery and boot and rom.

Hi, i have the same issue : phone stuck on Huawei Logo, original firmware, bootloader locked.
I cannot unlock bootloader since Huawei unlock plugin has closed.
I can only access fastboot mode but flashing commands seems to be "not allowed".
How did you managed to solve this ?

[GUIDE] UN-BRICK Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (And maybe other devices)

THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK! If it does not work, feel free to let me know here and i will do what i can to help, but remember I probably can't help everyone.
IMPORTANT: ON XDA-LABS APP THIS POST IS KINDA BROKEN IDK WHY SO LOAD IT IN BROWSER!!!!
If the guide worked for you, please hit thanks button! If you are generous and want to donate pm me
What this can fix:
When booting, you get this error:
Func NO : 10 (boot image)
Error NO : 2 (load image)
When booting to recovery, you get this error:
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load image)
Bootloops
Can't boot into fastboot
Can't boot into recovery for other reasons
Can't boot to system for other reasons
ETC...
First thing first, there really isnt a way to keep your data so expect it all to be gone, unless it is saved on an external sd card. Also, this guide is specifically for the PRA-LX1 model, however it might work with other p8 lite 2017 models and a similar method may work with other huawei phones.
Requirements:
The device boots in to fastboot mode. (If it does not, scroll down to problem 1)
You have a pc with a usb port and fastboot/adb installed
You have a micro usb to usb cable.
Unlocked bootloader and oem unlock.
Micro sd card
Problem 1: Can't boot into fastboot?
Try this:
1. Make sure device is fully powered off
2. Connect device to any pc.
3. Press and hold volume- and power button at the same time until your screen turns on.
If this doesn't work then unfortunately i can't help...
Problem 2: Only fastboot boots, but not recovery or os:
Lets start by flashing TWRP...
If your device was on android nougat (7.x.x) or the rom you were flashing was nougat based then do this:

Boot into fastboot on your phone and open fastboot on your pc
Type: fastboot flash recovery *Nameofrecovery.img*

https://www.mrviking.co.uk/440246340
Problem 3: You can only boot into fastboot and TWRP recovery:
Thats OK! Heres how to restore the phone:
IMPORTANT: THE FILES LINKED HERE ARE ONLY FOR PRA-LX1 DEVICES! If your device has a different model number, or these files did not work for you, follow this guide to get files for your device: https://www.mrviking.co.uk/440246340
This will also update your device to android oreo!
Put the micro sd card in your pc.
On your pc download these files:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 (Download 0.3)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1194/g104/v148634/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...altice_all/update_full_PRA-L11_altice_all.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...34/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Now Rename update_full_PRA-L11_altice_all.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Also rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
Put all four files: update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, update_data_public.zip and HuRUpdater_0.3.zip into one folder on the external sdcard.
Take sdcard out of pc and put it into phone.
Boot into twrp tap on mount and select all partitions
Make sure 'mount system read only' is NOT checked.
Go back to twrp home
Go to install, find the huruupdater zip file
Flash ONLY hurupdater, DO NOT FLASH ANY OTHER ZIPS.
Follow instructions on screen.
Reboot to system and wait for the device to boot.
If it didnt boot, dont worry:
Go back to fastboot mode on your phone and pc, and download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1daIos0yagHk9Kg-5hXLDwNYDHjP_N0EM/view?usp=sharing
Flash it with fastboot using:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk *Nameofrecovery.img*
now boot into recovery wipe cache wipe date/factory reset reboot to system
If none of this worked, try this last resort. (Likely won't work but it is worth a shot)
Firstly, place your micro sdcard into your pc. Create a folder called 'dload' in the root of it.
Now, locate the firmware files you downloaded from firmware finder.
Open the main update.zip file and extract the 'UPDATE.APP' file to the 'dload' folder in your sdcard.
Place sdcard back in phone
Make sure phone is powered off. (Can't power it off? Unplug anything connected (charger, pc, etc...) and hold the power button until screen goes black)
Hold all three function keys (VOL+,VOL- and POWER) until screen turns on.
Hope it works and wait
If it worked, please hit thanks button! If you want to donate pm me.
If it DID NOT work, post a reply here and either me or someone else will try and help.
Thanks!

I've got the same problem - I can boot to TWRP and bootloader.
I've wiped Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, System and formatted Data
When I try to flash HuRUpdater_0.4.zip I get:
Error finding input device
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/HuRUpdater_0.4.zip'
I've tried copying UPDATE.APP to 'dload' folder on external SD card, and EMUI hangs at 5%.
Is there anything else I can try? What does "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1" actually mean? I've googled it but haven't found anything useful.
Any help would be really appreciated!

Top tip - always follow all of the instructions. the version of TWRP listed in the instructions is the only one to use. I was using an incomaptible version. My phone if fixed!

Always use TWRP from OP
And if its not working, try Flashing Stock recovery and boot it and do tap some options e.g. reset/ clear cache etc. ( I got my mobile fixed via this method as Internal Memory got corrupted because of incompatible TWRP )
For problem 1 fix : Fully shutdown , connect the phone to via usb to pc , and fast hold down the volume - . Cheers
Edit : or the same : usb , power and volume - till you see the huawei logo , then just hold volume -

Force shut down the device (Hold power button) if it is on.
Connect to a pc
Hold down POWER and VOL- buttons untill screen turns on
If you see a screen with an android robot saying FASTBOOT at the top let me know, if not tell me that :good:

yes, i've.
phone relocked and frp lock. really bad state.
all caused after a magisk installation via magisk manager (this brick my boot).
my giant error, test to install without verify if frp still unlocked and this has caused a giant brick :/
i need a way to bypass-removed frp, and unlock again bootloader.
then, reinstall twrp and recovery my system.
all is in standby cause frp
yes, i know, exist some windows (i use debian) pay app, but 19€ for "just a click" to a device that atm cost about 130€ ... i think isn't a great price.
i really cannot understood why huawei cannot make a real recovery tool.

Wow thats a pretty bad brick. First try to boot to recovery like this:
1. Make sure phone is off.
2. Hold power and volume up until screen goes on.
3. When screen goes on quickly take fingers off buttons.
If it does not work, I think your only hope is to use funky huawei.
Do what this guy did (read the bottom of the first post)

Can you update to stock through erecovery via wifi? I had my phone frp locked + bl locked + bricked system. eRecovery was the only way out to get into a working system.
The unlock tool that costs too much is b.s and only works if it was locked because of Google Play account (tried it, did not unlock my frp).
After erecovery update and having a system, google play account was also locked because of stock firmware, this time I used the unlock tool. I used firmware finder afterwards for forcing an oreo update (because bl unlocking was grayed out). After oreo update, i enabled bl unlock from dev options and unlocked my bl again through fastboot. frp got unlocked along the way, i forgot when.
i can access in eRecovery, but when i check to download by wifi i still receive: "Getting package info failed" :/
-
via dload (8gb sd in fat 32 with only dload folder and old release UPDATE.APP inside it - but tested with more...) stuck for minuts at 5%, then reboot!

What this can fix:
When booting, you get this error:
Func NO : 10 (boot image)
Error NO : 2 (load image)
When booting to recovery, you get this error:
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load image)
Bootloops
Can't boot into fastboot
Can't boot into recovery for other reasons
Can't boot to system for other reasons
ETC...
First thing first, there really isnt a way to keep your data so expect it all to be gone, unless it is saved on an external sd card. Also, this guide is specifically for the PRA-LX1 model, however it might work with other p8 lite 2017 models and a similar method may work with other huawei phones.
Requirements:
The device boots in to fastboot mode. (If it does not, scroll down to problem 1)
You have a pc with a usb port and fastboot/adb installed
You have a micro usb to usb cable.
Unlocked bootloader and oem unlock.
Micro sd card
Problem 1: Can't boot into fastboot?
Try this:
1. Make sure device is fully powered off
2. Connect device to any pc.
3. Press and hold volume- and power button at the same time until your screen turns on.
If this doesn't work then unfortunately i can't help...
Problem 2: Only fastboot boots, but not recovery or os:
Lets start by flashing TWRP...
If your device was on android nougat (7.x.x) or the rom you were flashing was nougat based then do this:
Download this file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TjNHI9FNdwQS2HphsjGfQCHKephibiKn/view
Boot into fastboot on your phone and open fastboot on your pc
Type: fastboot flash recovery *Nameofrecovery.img*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your device was on android oreo (8.x.x) or the rom you were flashing was oreo based then do this:
Download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/190zqju8ZmwZCzI4WXtujgKLFXvvuWTk8/view?usp=sharing
Boot into fastboot on your phone and open fastboot on your pc

Put the micro sd card in your pc.

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...34/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Now Rename update_full_PRA-L11_altice_all.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Also rename update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
Put all four files: update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, update_data_public.zip and HuRUpdater_0.3.zip into one folder on the external sdcard.
Take sdcard out of pc and put it into phone.
Boot into twrp tap on mount and select all partitions
Make sure 'mount system read only' is NOT checked.
Go back to twrp home

No problem! Glad to hear it works
I've made a tutorial 1 day before you ^^
Hello i've made a tutorial on my thread for my solution to unbrick it so if you need to unbrick your phone with a different method
you can use my tutorial it has worked perfecty on my p8 lite 2017 and now he's on oreo
my phone personnaly was totaly broken i flashed some random things on my phone etc this is working 100% cause you are about to clear all the old android system for the new oreo one so for the peoples who got the same problem than me and got stuck
on the fastboot&rescue mode when VOLUME- + POWER for like 5 seconds with the phone off
(for the peoples who can't power off your device you can download the "universal fastboot and ADB tool" app and then click on reboot phone in the fastboot part)
the solution is to :
-Download the rom stock Oreo android 8.0 stechguide.com/huawei-p8-lite-2017-b370-oreo-firmware/
-exctract all files from the HuaweiUpdateExtractor find it on google it's easy just download update.zip
-extract and put the UPDATE.APP in the HuaweiUpdateExtractor
-run srk tool for huawei
-type 000 and press enter
-and now you have to flash all partitions that you have received from HUE commands are here:
[dont worry if some of theese are not working it's because certains commands are not allowed to use and certains commands are out of date :/ but dont worry the phone will boot correctly after ]
Code:
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash crc CRC.img
fastboot flash curver CURVER.img
fastboot flash dts DTS.img
fastboot flash efi EFI.img
(i'm not putting erecorery imgs cause we cannot touch them it's an ultimate security from os :) )
fastboot flash fastboot FASTBOOT.img
fastboot flash hifi HIFI.img (only if you are the wifi is not working ;) )
fastboot flash kernel KERNEL.img
fastboot flash modem_fw MODEM_FW.img
fastboot flash modemnvm_update MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img
fastboot flash odm ODM.img
fastboot flash package_type PACKAGE_TYPE.img
fastboot flash product PRODUCT.img
fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
fastboot flash recovery_vbmeta RECOVERY_VBMETA.img
fastboot flash recovery_vendor RECOVERY_VENDOR.img

fastboot flash trustfirmware TRUSTFIRMWARE.img

fastboot flash vendor VENDOR.img
fastboot flash verlist VERLIST.img
fastboot flash xloader XLOADER.img
Now you have loader all partitions of an huawei p8 lite 2017 android 8.0 gg !
you just have to make a fastboot reboot to reboot your phone and enjoy !
notes:Everything is working properly after 3 day of use not any missing data some calls bugs but nothing hard
you will loose your TWRP recovery mode AND DO NOT INSTALL ONE OF THEM FOR NOW they are outdated for oreo wait some months (september on some sources)
you will loose all your data and the root (some sites prupose root methods for oreo p8 lite 2017 (and soft root this time :laugh:
idk about the bootloader but i keeped my imei number ^^
Thanks for your time and if anyone got questions i'm still here ^^

However there are many good working twrps for oreo, especially the one by Dil3mm4.
