Bricked Huawei P9

Hello,
after a couple of attempts at installing TWRP recovery, some successful, some not, a ROM reinstall and finally this last factory reset, my Huawei P9 phone is stuck at what appears to be boot or restart loop. It is interesting however that I am unable to turn off the phone at all and it's been like this for an hour. At first, TWRP recovery wouldn't boot but the OS would. Then I did factory reset and phone restarted. Since then it won't boot or turn off. When I hold the power button to turn it off, it vibrates once, then vibrates again and then Huawei logo is displayed. After that a message that says "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." & "Your device is booting now..." which is normal since I unlocked my phone bootloader, but the problem is that it is just stuck there.
It stays there forever, screen on, phone on, can't restart because it comes back to the same point, can't turn it off since battery is impossible to take out... Any hope? I bought the phone a couple of days ago and this is really bad... Help!
Edit: In case someone else stumbles upon similar situation - after trying everything possible with these 3 buttons I had available (vol+- and power), I have managed to boot by (I THINK) holding the power button for 10 secs but releasing it really fast after the screen turns off and BEFORE the first vibration happens.
Edit 2: Now I have the same problem again and I can't seem to get the right button "combo" to pass the booting phase like I did some hour ago... Any ideas?
Edit 3: It appears that the ROM I have flashed caused problems with TWRP - after I got an SD card, managed to put stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818) on it and then did force upgrade, the phone booted successfully.
Step by step:
1) Drained battery to 0% and forced phone to turn off (otherwise it would vibrate twice and get stuck loading TWRP if I tried to turn it off using power button)
2) When I plugged it in and it got some battery power it started, avoided TWRP and regularly booted the OS (which was causing problems with TWRP in my case I think). If you don't have any OS, do not recharge or turn on your phone until you have prepared and put SD card into the phone
3) Downloaded and extracted the dload folder from the P9 stock ROM archive (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818) to root directory of SD card
4) Unplugged and turned off the phone using OS Shutdown option
5) Turned it on by holding power, volup and voldown buttons together - "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device is booting now..." message appeared so I thought it was stuck again and was about to hang myself, but then the OS upgrade started (if it doesn't work right away, try restarting the phone with power, volup and voldown buttons held together again)
6) Upgrade was successful but the phone wouldn't boot without complete factory reset, after which it booted normally. Bootloader was relocked, then I updated to the latest stable EMUI (4.1.1) and life returned to normal.

BUMP
I can access Fastboot&Rescue mode and use abd (but phone is not rooted). Other than that I can't get to repeat what I did when I managed to boot the phone previous time this happened some hours ago... Can anyone post all volume+- and power key combinations which I can try?
Any other ideas more than welcome...

Guys can someone help with this. I'm having the same sort of issues. I have flashed an update and now I have lost touch on the screen. I can't even use twrp because the touch is not working.
Please can someone advise.

After getting an SD card (everything I did so far was using internal storage) and putting stock Huawei P9 ROM on it (Android 6 and EMUI 4), then shutting down (forced by draining battery) and doing force upgrade (vol+ and vol- held after power up) I have managed to (upgrade and) boot my phone and get it back to normal again. If anyone needs more detailed explanation on how I solved this, feel free to ask.

Open bootloader again, i had the same problem few days ago

Yes please vernicht. My touchscreen has stopped responding after flashing an update.app using DC Phoenix.
I really need to get the phone back to normal.
Thanks in advance

Can you boot into OS? Please provide more exact details.
How I got out of the TWRP(?) boot loop: I couldn't take out the battery, but I have managed to drain it to 0% by letting the phone stay on for hours thus eventually shutting itself down. After that I have charged it and then powered it up. It didn't attempt to boot TWRP (no loop) but instead booted back the OS. After that I could regularly restart the phone and do all operations without getting stuck in loop, which allowed me to issue force upgrade command using hardware power up/down buttons.

Nope. I manage to flash it with DC Phoenix fully but it just keeps boot looping and going back to the Huawei logo. Then after that if goes into its recovery menu and the only my to use the menus is with the volume keys.

Are you able to put files on your SD card? If yes, you can try putting stock ROM on it and then force force upgrading (hold vol+ and vol- together after power up). It should overwrite everything and boot up.

I have done this but it won't even force flash the stock rom. It gets to 5% and says 'system error'
I followed your suggestion to let the battery drain and then I charged it fully, but when charging it got to 1% and rebooted the phone into eRecovery.
I wish I could get this phone fixed and back to normal.

Did you use this stock ROM for P9 (if it's EVA-L09 like mine) or something else?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
It worked fine with force upgrade for me, while some other ROMs didn't.
Do you have Wipe cache and data/factory reset options available in eRecovery, did you try that?

I'll try that. The only problem I have is my touchscreen won't respond under eRecovery. I have to use the volume and power key to navigate. Any idea what's happened there?

It will probably return to function after you restore to stock ROM. Until then you can use power button to select items in eRecovery if needed.
Btw I have edited my original first post in this thread with step by step guide on what I did in my case.

Thank you Vernicht for all your help.
I finally manage to get the phone fully working again. I also managed to get it changed from C900 to C432, lock the bootloader and join the beta.
Thank you so much again. It's very much appreciated.
Merry Christmas too

Hi nscxp2005
how did you manage that?
i have the same Problem.
i have done a "Wipe Cache" and a factory reset.
i have copied the "update.app" from PauloBrien zip on a sd card in a folder named dload.
then i have done a Force flash -> it goes to 5% an says Invalid File.
when i look in the device with DC Phoenix it says it is a EVA-L09C900B136
Why have i done that?
My wive have the EVA-L09C432B136 and i updatet it OTA to Nougat.
i thought i could switch to that version to get the new Nougat but something went wrong......
thanks in advance and sry for my english =)

Hi Guys, hope you can help
I have got an P9 EVA-L09 which I tried to update to B378 but failed and now it stuck in a boot loop and won't recover using the phone.
I have tried to download the update mentioned above and doing a forced recovery on the phone Power + VOL+ + VOL- but no luck, gets 5% and fails.
Would like some help please.

Hello, I have the same problem, I tried to install Lineage 14.1 and it didn't work. Then i tried to go back to EMUI 5.0 and i just all fell apart. No i have no android on my P9 (cos i wiped all data and the system through TWRP 3.1.1.1), and now my touchscreen doesn't work. When i try to force install, it blockes on 5%. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it? Thanks

I have the same issue after flashing the rollback package from the official huawei site. The phone isn't rooted, it just had a branding for some odd reason. So I installed the C432B182 but somehow ended up with a C900B... firmware. So I installed the Rollback package C900B300 using the 3 button method. It said successfull but ever since I've been stuck in the same loop. At the logo. Trying to enter recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) or Force flash any of the firmwares (stock C432.. or rollback C900) doesnt succeed. It wont attempt. Only vibrates as you described and turns the screen off for a second before entering the same loop again.
How did you manage to enter the flash Menu??
Thanks in advance and hope you can help.

Hello!
At me too such problem. When charging to sit at 0% and plug it into the charger, it immediately turns on and goes into the system, then the screen is worth a long logo. I have a phone EVA-L09C627B150.
Help me find my full version! Or I can use this version by reference https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
Sorry for my English!

Can't enter recovery mode after installing TWRP

Hello everyone,
I bought a few days ago the Honor 5C and decided to root it. So I installed the TWRP (Nemo) using "fastboot", downloaded a ZIP of SuperSU and placed at the root of the internal storage. But when I try to enter recovery mode by using "adb reboot recovery" or by pressing the Volume Up + Power buttons, the phone vibrates, displays nothing for 2-3 seconds (not even a black screen, the screen is completely off). After that the "Honor" logo is dispayed for less than a second then the screen "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted [...] Your device is booting now..." with no option at all.
The problem is that this screen stays forever and never displays the recovery mode screen. If I entered this mode using the physical buttons, I can just press "Power" for a few seconds and then it reboots the phone normally. But if I used "adb", each reboot makes the phone entering again the same recovery mode that doesn't work, so I use the Volume Up + Power key while the phone is connected via USB to my laptop to enter e-recovery mode, then reboot normally.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem ? I really want to root my phone but I don't know what to do for now.
Thanks by advance for your answers !

Are you on EMUI 5 (Android Nougat) ? If so, official TWRP is not compatible with version > EMUI 4.x for now.

I'm using EMUI 5.0 / Android 7.0.
So now I've installed an incompatible TWRP can I just downgrade to EMUI 4.0 / Android 5.0 then flash it again and root my phone or should I reflash the original recovery before doing that ? I've read somewhere that updating a rooted phone could brick it so even if mine has just a TWRP and want to downgrade instead of upgrading I prefer to be sure.
Thanks by advance !

you need install original recovery and extract update.app from B100 firmware, then you place it to "dload" folder in your sd card and flash using 3 buttons. you cant full brick by messing with root. only soft brick which is fixable.

Ok I'll try it. I will post again if something comes wrong.
Thanks a lot for your help

I forgot to ask about one thing : I'm owning a phone with NEM-L51 model and I don't know if I can use NEM-L22 firmware ? If I can't, where can I find the right files to downgrade this specific model ? All the firmware files I see on the web are for the NEM-L22...
EDIT : I've found the B102 firmware for NEM-L51 model (Europe + UK) can I take it for the downgrade or is the B100 specific version needed ?

Thanks for your help but this doesn't work. When I do what you say it goes again and again to the same warning screen which never disappears. This is really strange, when I see videos I find on YouTube all Honor 5C owners that just do what you say enter in recovery mode, but it's not my case... I really wonder why.
I don't know if that can help you to understand, but I'm using a french Honor 5C phone, with EMUI 5.0 / Android Nougat like I said previously, model is NEM-L51 and I did the Android Nougat update several days ago using the Honor's official update application, which is natively installed on the phone.
About the firmwares, I've tried the B102 version for the specific model I own but each time (I downloaded the update ZIP several times, the first one with two folders named '1-main' and '2-vendor', the second with just the 'dload' files) the update stops at 5 purcents and says "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package."
What can I do to solve this problem ?

When you do Volume Up + Power it attemps to enter recovery mode, not recovery (that's what I read), excepted if a USB cable is plugged in (which is not my case). And that still doesn't work.
However, I'm able to enter erecovery mode by turning on the phone with only the Power button, then holding "Volume Up" as written on the screen (there are 3 boot options that shows up, but only when I boot normally) and I enter erecovery mode. But I can't do anything interesting in this mode, just download the latest firmware (which fails at each attempt, even when I'm connected to a working WiFi point), shutdown or reboot the phone normally.
Shoud I show you a video of when I boot my phone in normal mode / recovery mode / erecovery mode ?

The problem is that I can't enter recovery mode, each time I try to install an OTA or full update package from the /dload folder on the SD card it fails, so I can't downgrade at all. Do you know a link that sure points to the good update package version for the Honor 5C on EMUI 5.0 in order to downgrade to Marshmallow ? I've found several links during my searches but I don't know if the installation fails because of a phone's bug or if it fails because of an invalid version.
EDIT : I forgot to precise the long model name of my phone : NEM-L51C432B350. On Firmware Finder Rewrite it shows that there are only two update packages for it, published on 20.04.2017... So I wonder if I need to download the three files shown in the filelist of the big update (1.68 Gb) and install them on the device ?

Stock recovery wont have an option . There is no graphical UI for installation.
Downgrade or update is just a manual procedure.
In order to roll back , u need to install a roll back package and then the origional MM package . Using the three button combination

Ok so in the guide I found on the same page I linked in my previous post (the guide is hopefully written in english) it says that the phone must haven't been rooted or even unlocked, so I prefered to relock the bootloader (and completely reset my phone, for the third time at least in two days).
But then I realized I would need to have an unlocked bootloader for the flash so I unlocked it again, but now the device stucks on "Your device is booting now..." with no option at all whatever I do, whatever the buttons I push... I'll really start to think I'm simply idiot
I'm searching on how to solve this new problem and unbrick the phone... 'cause I can't even shutdown it, the "Volume Up + Power" combination while USB plugged in or anything else doesn't work this time.
EDIT : Okay so my phone seems to really be hard-bricked. My phone just stays at the screen "Your device is booting now..." with no option at all, I can't shutdown it, I can't enter recovery or erecovery mode. Does anyone know what to do or is my phone definitively bricked ?

But how can I unbrick the phone ? I can't enter in any mode, I can't connect it to PC, I can't shutdown the phone, I can't use ADB or FastBoot on it, I can't reflash the bootloader or install a TWRP, downgrade or boot normally, I can't do anything !
So how could I unbrick it ? For now it's just still displaying "Your device is booting now..."
If you know how to do, please tell me so I can unbrick my phone. Sorry for asking you so many things I don't understand myself why there are so many problems...

Brick/Bootloop Huawei P8 Lite 2017

Hello everyone, I saw a few posts on this forum about other bricked phones, but my case is different (if its not then please link me the thread, Thanks).
Story: Today I decided that my unrooted phone wasn't enough for me, so I said: "Why not root?" . I have to add that I owned a LG Magna 3G before this Huawei P8 LIte 2017 and oh boi was the rooting procedure WAY HARDER(the huawei procedure)... I did well with my LG, but not so well with my Huawei. To be honest I was almost done but because I couldnt boot into TWRP, I decided to follow a guide I cant find cause I followed so many that my History is a mess (if anyone requests I will do some digging though). The guy suggested to someone that couldnt boot into TWRP (like me) that he should falsh TWRP>relock his OEM>Shutdown>Press a combination to go into recovery mode>???>Profit. I did just that but my device is now a 180 Euro brick.
Probelm: My device bootloops. Every time I shut it down (hold power key for 10sec), it reboots and gets stuck on the famous "Your device has been locked and can't be trusted. To learn more, BLAH BLAH BLAH. Your device is booting now...
I tried several key combinations, but whatever I do, when I hold my power key for 10sec, The huawei logo pops up for a second or two and then I get stuck on this screen again...
Sadly, I seem to have no connection between my PC and my device (adb can't find any connected device).
I also want to add that, after I was promted to relock my OEM, I removed the USB cable whoopsie.
What Im looking for:
A way to regain contact between my PC (adb) and my phone
A way to shutdown my device for now (and not forever... just for the night)
Someone to tell me that he had the same issue and took the following steps (Need clear answers and steps)
Anything else whatsoever
I don't think it's necessary to provide the files I used, since the reason my device is like this is because of my own stupidity:silly:
Thank you for your time.

You have to hold Power and Volume Up button pressed to boot into erecovery, not only power, check it.

Sorry for replying after 2 hours, I didn't get a notification.
I tried:
1. Holding the buttons until I see the "your device is booting..." message
2.Holding the buttons until it vibrates
3.Holding the buttons until I see the Huawei logo
Thanks for your time anyway

You press Volume Up + Power simultaneously, when you see the Huawei logo you release Power and hold Volume Up only until it boots to erecovery.

Tried this several times, no result.
Is there a more drastic solution to my stubborn phone?

The most drastic solution is the DC Phoenix software, not for free, if i am right they ask 15€ for 72 hours.

Not going to bother with this one tho... if I am very desperate, I might try to "borrow" it, but Im gonna seek other solutions until then.
Thanks for your time

On the "your device has been unlocked" hold the Volume up button until you boot to eRecovery. From there connect to wifi and restore stock rom. Afaik, erecovery should boot on bootlooped device. Give it a try
If this doesnt work, plug in to pc, and hold volume up + power, on huawei logo leave power button and hold volume up until you get to erecovery

Hello, thanks for replying
My device is now good, only gapps are missing but I don't care too much. Here is what happened:
So, I left my phone unplugged from any power source during the night (meanwhile the screen couldn't turn off), although I swear I did this 20 times already, when I booted my device after I came back from my University, my phone booted into eRecovery... I downloaded the latest package and it seems to work just fine now, the only problem is that the gapps need to be flased via TWRP (that I don't think I have anymore, how ironic).
Thanks to all of you who cared about giving me a solution :victory: Have a fantastic day

If you want to have a complete working system, i suggest you to try to update using erecovery again. It should download full firmware with gapps etc

Well, that was what we told you to do at first time. Erecovery can bring it back to life easily. Now as you have already been told erecovery flashes the complete firmware, including gapps.
You can also try to update it through the settings menu, in the system update settings you press the three dots menu on the upper right corner and select download latest complete package.

[Bootloop] Xiaomi Mi A2 - PIE V10.0.02

Good morning people,
Hope you are well!
I updated my Mi A2 via OTA to PIE, it was in Bootloop, I got MiFlash back to OREO (V9.6.16.0), and I tried to install PIE, now for Fastboot MiFlash , but my cell phone was again in Bootloop.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Or what happened to someone else?
Thanks for the help!

Claim warranty by far the most easy solution.
And yeah more people have this isseu.

had same problem... twice but solved very easy
just boot to recovery boot (volume down ad power)... connect power and left 10-15 minutes...
dont disconnect phone from power and press and hold power until reboot, release power button and voila, phone normally boot!!!!
i notice if you not wait long enough in recovery boot, phone remain in bootloop... just be patient and maybe helps... works for me twice...

But when I do this, it goes into Fastboot mode (power and volume minus).
Are you talking about going into recovery mode?

just enter in fastboot mode and do nothing... only connect to power charger
is weird because i had two times this problem.. once after android 9 upgrade week ago, and second time today after factory reset
every times i cant do anything to work... this with power charger was stupid idea but is worked.... just connect charger in fastboot mode, wait 10-15 minutes and restart phone with power button... both times this worked for me...
i remember few years ago similar problem with Nokia/MS windows phones batteries and similar steps helped...

After instal january update and restart, on the phone see Android One logo and nothing is happening. After 5 minutes it switches off.
I'll get to the bootloader, but I can not unlock the bootloader (neither unlock critical). Is anyone able to help?

Use official xiaomi "MI FLASH TOOL" on Windows and flash with full stock image named "fastboot rom"
(Download image here: https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/latest-android-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-a2/)
(You have to extract on Windows this tar.gz and tar also, and then flash with Xiaomi tool)
If you need help with this tool, read this "mi flash tool" tutorial:

Huawei P20 Pro ANYWAY TO Flashboot? Or bypass the FRP ?

Hi Everyone! Well, today is my time to ask for some help! :fingers-crossed:
I got my hands on a great looking Huawei P20 PRO, unfortunately the Phone is locked FRP... But as i had searched around, there was a method to bypass that by a simple bug they had on the "TALKBACK", like one week ago people was doing that bypass successfully , but this phone has a newer version of talk back, 7.1.x.x...
On the videos people have the previous 6.1.x.x version... That means i don't have the same "help" option as they have.
-After that i tried to get the phone into Fastboot mode, but i can't get the phone on that mode, i press volume down and hold for a while with the device turned off, then i plug the usb, and it just starts charging...
-I press Both vol up and vol down buttons with power at same time, it goes to a screen "EMUI" that says "SOFTWARE INSTALL FAILED! GET HELP FROM xxxx.EMUI COM/BLABLABLA) and says "Reboot system now"...i then press reboot now, and i does a regular reboot and starts up to select language etc, all good... BUT FRP locked...
- Then last night i tried to press VOLUME UP then plug the USB and it got into Erecovery mode, that gave me the option to download the latest version, wipe the current one, shutdown, or reboot... well i had nothing to lose and i did the first to download the latest version, after a 4gb download and install the phone is on the same situation, same version, same everything....
Makes me wonder if someone already done bad attempts before me.
Is there anyway to get the phone on Flashboot? Or bypass the FRP ?

Same
I have exactly the same
Any help????
