Hello,
I unlocked my bootloader,
installed twrp (this version ->),
tried to install CM13, but failed because of failed to mount /data
fixed that by formatting data
tried again to install CM13 but it still didn't work, because failed to mount /system
i gave up and did a restart just to realise that there is no system anymore i was stuck in a bootloop,
i decided to go back to Stock and used fastboot to install stock recovery for MM using SRK Tool,
choose to relock my bootloader and after the process it said "the device will now restart to perform a factory reset"
since then i'm stuck at the Huawei Logo (i think my device is stuck because it tries to enter the rom to perform the factory reset but there is nothing it can enter so it's stuck),
i tried to enter fastboot mode but it didn't work,
i can't even turn off my phone because every time i hold the Powerkey the phone just restarts
right now i'm downloading the ROM dload file and hope this will help me.
do you have any ideas/thoughts about this, do i have any chance to save my device ?
EVA-L09
was running emui 5 (B361 i think?)
Dload didn't work nothing happend.... is there anyway huawei will repair this ? if yes how much will it cost ? is there a chance they will repair it (warranty) even tho it was my fault, if i don't tell them what i did and play dumb?
If you power off the phone, and then press and hold the Volume Down key, THEN plug in the USB cable (attached to a PC), does this enter Fastboot mode? (white screen with Android logo)

No that doesn't work,
i now leave it on to run out of battery and then i try it again.
Yes - let it go completely flat.
Then, press and hold the Volume Down key, and plug the USB cable in. Once you're at this stage, you can use DC-Phoenix to update the firmware. Once this is successfully done, you then power the phone off, press and hold both volume buttons, and re-connect the USB. This puts it into Upgrade mode, and you can use DC-Phoenix again in Upgrade Mode to write the same firmware to it. Once you have done this, you should hopefully have restored your phone.
You may need to go back to an earlier firmware, such as B136, then go through the upgrade path again, if it does not work with B361.
thanks i will try this
it worked ! i unlocked the bootloader again and i tried to install different version of the Stock ROM (b182,b300,b361) i was able to flash b182 and B361 without errors by flashing system,recovery and boot.img but my phone always boots into erecovery and i have no clue why ?
I was in a similar position - until I did the steps I noted with DC-Phoenix.
You don't need to mess around with unlocking the bootloader by using DC-Phoenix.
what is so special about DC-Phoenix and why does this cost 15 Euros for 72 Hours ???
i had the same situation sir
i don't know what to do now
there is no huawei service center in our country
i cant use dc phoenix because i cant pay the 15 euros via paypal
there is a login form before u can use the dc unlocker
please any one help me on this
pls give me account in dc phoenix
i will give the money back via remittance
because i dont have a bank

hello guys
i have a serious problem here
this is what happen to my P9 when i try to unlock/root/install twrp
first i used SRK long chod v2.0 tool
the first step i do is unlock the bootloader and yes i can say it works
i unlock the FRP and Bootloader
then i proceed to the next target. installing the twrp recovery
i try so the twrp version inside the SRK tool
but doesnt work then i look some version from
official twrp website , same again does not work either
so i skip that part , and stop going further in order to
back my phone to unvoid the warranty
there is an option in SRK tool which you can relock your bootloader again
so i did relock my bootloader and after rebooting the system
boot stuck appears
no fastboot/no recovery/no system
even the key combination does not
work like forced update via sdcard/dload/update.app
i have no idea what to do now
but i read the thread from SCRAFI
that he used the DC Phoenix and
resurrect his bricked P9
i want to try that solution but i have a problem on that
i cant buy credits for 15 euros i dont have
any e-payment online like paypal bankcards/debit
because before you can use the dc phoenix tool
you are required to login your reserve account
for able to use it. and that is why im so hopeless that
i can ressurect my phone again
please help
please give me some account login for dc phoenix
and promise to bring back the 15 euros via
remittance or any available bank payments..
please. any one who has a big hand
please help me
sorry for wrong english grammar

I know this is very necro, but I've come to encounter the same problem. However my situation is weirder. I did very similar steps: wanted to go to stock and used SRK Toolkit to flash the recovery and relock the bootloader, I'm guessing it was not the correct twrp version for my current os. I should state that I don't understand anything about how huawei works... by now I just want the damn thing to boot . My situation is that the phone vibrates and displays the huawei bootlogo and then hangs. I've let the battery die and then do the Vol- + Usb thing but it doesn't give a f***. It just keeps going to the huawei logo. I've already ordered a pentalobe screwdriver on amazon to try and disconnect the battery cable...maybe it'll make a difference, since its kinda sketchy to try to let it die but no so much that it won't even boot and just shows the charging icon...:angel: ***fingers crossed*** anyways if someone has any hints I'd aprecciate it. Wish me luck, cheers
Edit: today, 3 days later, I re-tried to enter fastboot with vol - and usb in pc and IT WORKED!! unlocked the bootloader and now everything is fine.

I was trying to downgrade and something went wrong.
Now i'm stuck in Huawei LOGO and can't turn off phone, he keeps turning on and freeze at Huawei Logo.
He's getting really hot.
Tried a few tools to get him at adb but no luck...
Also tried update from dload sdcard but combo keys not working either...
Any ideas?

Same problem but on EVA-AL00 running AL19C636B190
Have u tried to unlock bootloader or flash boot/recovery with fastboot mode?
I have the same problem, any ideas?
I had the same issue, three only thing that worked for me was to get the phone into recovery, vol down and power and flash through DC phoenix
My P9 make "self reset" all time, until battery gets empty. I can't get into recovery
Open hisuite enter recovery area plug phone to pc you see vol down + power screen. Press vol- and power button you must go to fastboot screen. If phone recover by hisuite thats ok.
If not, you need unlocking bootloader with srk tool ( must have unlock code ) flash twrp with command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img or use srk tool to flash twrp recovery.
Enter recovery upload files to sd card, flash L09C432B322 zip than hw_eu zip. Your phone must boot with nougat. (Of course your phone dont C432, you must use your phone B322 files)
If you dont use nougat do a rollback prosedure.

i can't remember the version but im sure it all arounds in 2.1...something

if i can go over to fastboot i can repair this
but i can't go fastboot

Relock your phone again. Flash now the stock recovery. Then it's alright.
i think you didnt understand what im saying bro. i unroot and relocked already after relocking my phone got stock in eRecovery and i cant get out even unlocking again etc. still im stock
To complete your initial operation, you need the recovery. From your description, I see you had TWRP before. That will not do. Flashing in the bootloader you can only unlock with OEM. So, relock, recovery flash and then lock again.

how sir? i dont get what you mean... can you please show me a tutorial?
So I wrote it in my root tutorial:
Button combinations:
Fastboot Mode: Vol.- and Power with PC connection
Recovery: Vol. + and Power without PC connection
eRecovery: Vol. + and Power with PC connection
All system reboots always without PC connection.
Without PC connection means that the cable from the PRA is separated, only from the PC is not sufficient.

Hi, I have P10 VTRL09 .. A couple days ago i did relock bootloader and now i can not enter my phone.it stuck at Error mode.
I tried almost every method but it always comes back to error mode. I discharge the batterry and charge, if I am lucky, sometimes it will boot into the system but it will black out. I can not do anything except turn off, but while it was in this stage, i could connect to pc and get detected. pc try to install MTP driver but it also failed. I tried command in adb, it also failed (waiting for devices) ....
Issues :
1.boot loader locked
2.no recovery ( can not be load )
3.can not enter fastboot
4.can not force update
5.PC not detect
Question : Is there a way to make my phone go to fastboot ? so i can relock bootloader with adb and flash new firmware.
i appreciate all the help...please help me.
I have exactly the same issue. With identical error codes. Still trying to work out a solution.
on the Huawei website, the had a bootloader.img installer for older models but none for the p10/ p10 plus
Any advice would be appreciated
Let phone completely discharge even it power off automatically. Then put the phone on the charging it will boot up to system then go to settings >advanced settings>back up&reset> reset all settings
when it boot i cant see anything except black . i can only turn off or volume.
Connect with pc and press power and vol-
It should boot into fastboot. You got the error cause wrong or broken recovery.

Hi, I was having the same problem. Mate 8 EMUI 8.
After looking everywhere and trying all the options available, I wasnt able to resolve.
Finally, I tried FunkyHuawei and got my system back through eRecovery.
Gave them the readings like version no. , build no...etc through fastboot. The required info is on their site. They then reverted with a link of the firmware which I flashed through their FuHunbrick tool. It force updates the entire full last version.
After flashing and booting, the system didnt boot but was able to go to eRecovery and restored my previous version.
If you or anyone else stuck at this error, they can try at their own risk as they dont guarantee anything.
Edit: you should and will be able to boot into fastboot once the battery is totally down and phone shuts off completely. Just press volume down button and insert usb. Try again and again if it doesnt work first time.
Thanks.

Hi, let the phone battery dry out totally first. Totally. It should not vibrate at all when you press power button. Leave for a couple of hours more.
Then recharge to 50℅ or more and restart and see if you get to eRecovery or other options.
Are you getting any error screen after logo?
You will definitely get to fastboot by pressing volume down button and inserting usb. Try again n again.

Then recharge to 50℅ or more and restart and see if you get to eRecovery or other options.
Are you getting any error screen after logo?
You will definitely get to fastboot by pressing volume down button and inserting usb. Try again n again.

Hi. I did the battery part and the part of the pressing the vol - is and connecting to pc. It started but didn't got into fastboot or bootloader, just turned on normally and then I ran the adb command "adb reboot recovery" and I had to do the battery part again. I am afraid to run "adb reboot bootloader" because the risks of the draining out the battery. I mean my phone does not enter into recovery.
Since this Huawei P10 never received a single OTA update (from Carphone Warehouse, SIM free) and was stuck on Nougat I decided to go custom ROM route. This was a HUGE mistake but I did learn a lot which may be helpful to others.
The situation goes like this:
Tried to flash TWRP, failed, tried to flash system (openkirin pie) also failed. Nothing would work at all.
Tried to re-lock bootloader thinking it would make everything stock again automagically (not sure why I thought it does on some devices).
Then got into bootloop with no access to fastboot as bootloader HAD to force factory reset but couldn't (broken recovery). After some time you'd get some white EMUI screen in Chinese where all the options are broken.
Flashed the latest version I could find using DC-Phoenix with flashpoint, this is where I really ****ed up as this firmware had XLOADER2.
Phone is alive!!!! but no IMEI and NCK lock. HCU tool, DC unlocker, etc, nothing works with XLOADER2 for fixing the IMEI or NCK lock.
Tried to downgrade to Nougat. Complete brick, back into testpoint mode.....
Testpoint mode cannot even flash XLOADER1 anymore!! I did still manage to get the phone working again, but now it is a tablet .
So in short:
YOU STILL CANNOT GO BACK TO XLOADER1 FROM XLOADER2 - EVEN if you disassemble and use testpoint mode! I have NO idea what Huawei have done to prevent this but its something evil. So if you are at this point with no IMEI then you will never have a working phone ever again. Tablet yes if you are lucky but NOT phone.
So the process (not detailed, requires Google) to make your bricked XLOADER2 Huawei P10 a tablet rather than a brick:
You'll need DC-phoenix and maybe a 3-day 15 credit license but don't by the license until it tells you to otherwise it might be a waste of money if you have problems with disassembly for example
Download HiSuite to make sure you have all the required drivers
Disassemble your phone, plug USB into the computer, ground the testpoint pin and hold the power button
You should see a HUAWEI USB COM device in device manager
Using DC phoenix you need to select a booloader mode, try all Kirin 960 bootloaders until one works. You can also select an OEMINFO update at this point too if you want
Your phone is now in some half working fastboot mode. Leave it plugged in!
Using firmware finder, find the "379" firmware (the latest one they have for VTR-Lx9) where x is 0 or 2.
Using firmware extrator, extract: xloader, fastboot, teeos, ptable (hisi_gpt or something like that), vbmeta, kernel (ramdisk)
Using fastboot manually flash all of these images, kernel may fail but its OK if it does
Now fastboot reboot, your phone will brick again. Put it back into testpoint mode
Using DC-phoenix to select a bootloader (again) use the same Kirin 960 one as what worked for you before
Use DC phoenix to flash the "379" firmware and customisation and run the update.
If ANY steps fail, repeat again to fastboot reboot, testpoint mode, bootloader from DC phoenix, then run the update.
If all partitions flash OK and it asks you to go into update mode, with the USB connected, hold vol-, vol+ and power until 3 seconds AFTER you feel the phone vibrate
Eventually you should see some more COM ports appear in device manager (PCUI and some other random one). If you can see your screen (doubtful as it will be face down) you will see update mode 5%
Again, update with DC-phoenix (same 379 firmware and customisation you did before)
Your brick should now be a tablet. Bootloader should be unlocked if it was unlocked at the start of the process.
So typing that out and given I don't have time or the load of files I had downloaded to do this there is not much detail so if you do this you need to be someone who knows what they are doing really. I don't expect anyone to actually be stupid enough to follow this.
I just don't understand what XLOADER2 did (must be at a very low hardware/bios level) so completely lock the device down even in testpoint mode. I'd imagine even their repair centres would not be possible to repair IMEI now and just throw motherboard into the bin.
