Hello everyone....I'm not here asking somebody to help me, I don't think you could. I'm here to advice you not to root a Huawei P8 lite 2017. The story of me bricking this phone is long, I've done lots of passages that I can't remember.
I've read guides, asked help and compared softwares before trying to root my phone, but it has been useless.
I'll explain the main problems occured.
I've unlocked bootloader and then I flashed with fastboot tim win recovery..the version is located in this section about huawei p8 lite 2017. TWRP couldn't backup Data partition, it gave me an error that I couldn't avoid: I think that version is not full compatible with this phone. STOP rooting your phone if you can't backup a partition or if the recovery starts giving you error.
I flashed MagiskSu rootless with twrp. Initially worked properly, (but not all softwares were working with it)...after trying to install viper4android, my OS corrupted...Launcher didn't started anymore when I turned up my phone...I could only see the background and go in settings app....I restored my phone with twrp but it had been useless...I had to format data partition. After that, my phone restored properly.
I was having problem with booting into system...it took every time 66 seconds, and I had only few modules installed. Something were wrong. I installed Apps2sd, but it gave me some problems...sometimes was not able to mount partition or to write the script. Then I did the wrost choice of my life. I allowed this app to edit System partition. All the phone corrupted. I was not able to boot into system after reboot. DON'T ALLOW SOFTWARES TO EDIT SYSTEM PARTITION. Then i restored the phone with twrp, but after this, my phone was damaged: No Audio, No microphone, NO camera working, I couldn't play any video or song....it was corrupted. I've tryed to restore system partition, vendor partition, boot image....everything was useless. I flashed the stock recovery and did factory reset...nothing. I flashed stock boot.img...nothing was working.
I've tryed last chace, to flash all stock rom with adb sideload: adb failed. I tryed with fastboot: failed. I at least tryed to flash manually system, vendor, boot and recovery partition with fastboot....but It ended with my phone totally bricked (I think Fastboot didn't worked properly, it gave me some errors). I had wiped all the partition before doing this...but something tell me that fastboot didn't flashed correctly stock partition.
The only thing that is left in my phone is eRecovery, I can't use usb debug, Third parts can not communicate with the phone. I can only reboot, shutdown, and try to download the "lastest version" from server...but it fails at every try. My phone is not accessible anymore.
My advice is NOT TO ROOT HUAWEI P8 LITE 2017. Wait for developers to create advanced software more compatible with this new device.
Now I want to ask help: is there something I can do right now? Why doesn't erecovery work? Is there something I can do with Huawei Support? I have to sent my phone to restore it?
Hey bro...if your phone's bootloader is unlocked as you said...
You can do those easy steps
Download HUAWEI UPDATE EXTRACTOR 9.9.3
Use it to extract the following partitions
System.img
Recovery.img
Boot.img
And other files that you need and copy them into adb.exe folder
Then boot your phone into bootloader
And then use those commands to flash the partitions
fastboot flash system system.img
And
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The flashing process will take a while on system partition
And then do a factory reset using stock recovery
And then the phone should boot up

Flash Huawei ROM with keys.
First search for rollback ROM and flash it then flash full rom.

Thank you but I've already done this passages when my phone were soft-bricked. It could have helped me, but now the problem is bigger: any partition is corrupted, there's no way I can go into bootloader, and there's no way I can interact with my phone form a pc

I can't flash anything since my phone can not interact with any machine...there's no more recovery partition working, no more system partition working...boot image is ok but I can't boot anything. Fastboot mode works only if system partition works too.

Yes, you can recover your device because erecovery is working !
You need a MicroSD card, create a folder/directory named "dload" and inside put the UPDATE.APP ( full firmware for your device ) . Put the MicroSD card into your device and keep pressing at the same time all three hardware buttons ( volume +, volume - and power ) ... your device will start automaticly to install UPDATE.APP - if UPDATE.APP is compatible 100% with your device !
Good luck !

Thank you...I tryied, but didn't work...it says "restore failed"...maybe the UPDATE.APP is not full compatible with my phone. If anybody can give me the update.zip of Huawei P8 lite 2017 PRA-LX1 TIM BRAND (PRA-LX1C55B105), I'm here awaiting for it.
Could I try to flash a No Brand Firmware from dload folder?
Another question to you..could I have done something bad that doesn't allow erecovery to work properly? I didn't touch that partition.
Ok I've done researches and I realized that the firmware of my phone doesn't exist yet. The one I tryed to flash has a very similiar build code but it's different., I noticed it right now, I'm not surprised my phone is dead. I can only wait for developers to put that one on internet.
Or I can try to install from dload folder another firmware that is compatible with my phone...If anybody know something about it, tell me please :/

Restore Failed....Again.
Maybe the file you gave me is not the right one, or maybe my phone is not able to restore a phone starting from an updated Firmware like the b120 verision...maybe eRecovery wants the stock version, the b105.
I always do this things: I extract all the contents of update.zip in a folder named "dload" on a SD card...then I put the card into my phone and launch eRecovery. I hope I'm not missing any passage.
Does anybody know is eRecovery needs the stock update of the Firmware to restore it?
Could anybody find the PRA-LX1C55B105 (TIM BRAND = C55) Firmware?

That firmware is impossible to find. Maybe because it is Tim branded. But don't worry you can flash any firmware, no branded too. You can try as I done the last week, to flash with fastboot system, boot and recovery. These images are present in the update.app of the PRA-LX1C432B110, and you can use huawei update extractor to get that images. Good luck my friend!

I can't flash anything because my phone is bricked...I can only use eRecovery, and I can not comunicate with my phone with a computer. I have to wait for somebody to extract the Firmware or I don't know.
I've already done the passage you wrote, to flash boot and recovey, when my phone was corrupted but NOT bricked. I restored my phone but it didn't solved issues I was having. Now I can't do anything. I can only use eRecovery.
I am not advising or telling that it would be a good idea, but you could try to install the TWRP-Recovery using the prague.img from the "[How To Root] Huawei P8 lite 2017 [PRA-LX1]-Android 7.0-EMUI 5.0" and if it success then trying to restore the PRA-LX1C432B100 firmare which can be found on "[Request] PRA-LX1 C432 oeminfo".
CAUTION: If you succeed you'll have the two SIM version of the firmware and all info of your original firmware will be lost which means that your warranty will definitely be void (it most likely is already).

Thank you too...but It's the million time I say: I CAN'T FLASH ANYTHING BECAUSE MY PHONE IS TOTALLY BRICKED.
My phone is totally corrupted, the only thing I can do is to use eRecovery. Every other solution dealing with using PC to do things on phone has been tryied when the phone were SOFT BRICKED, and doesn't work anymore because the phone is at 90% HARD BRICKED.

Are you saying that you can't go to fastboot too? Or if you can, it gives you error to every flash? But don't worry, if you can use erecovery, try This: You'll notice that you have to pay for this. Good Luck!

Thank you so much, I realized that Fastboot was not corrupted!
But...
I tryied to flash system, recovery and boot images, then I did the Factory Reset from recovery...but It didn't worked, my phone bootloops like there's no System installed.
I have two hypotesis: 1) Fastboot is not able to flash properly the system partition on Huawei P8 lite 2017, even though it says that the process has been successful.
2) The system I flashed is not compatible...I extracted the system.img file from a PRA-LX1C55B120 (Found with Firmware Finder), while my version was PRA-LXC55B105....Maybe it pretends the B105, and refuses the B120. But they should be the same thing
This is impossible.

Exclude the first hypothesis, because FASTBOOT is 100% trusted. I think that you need to download from firmware finder this version: PRA-LX1C432B110. This version should work. Unzip the update.zip downloaded and with Huawei Update Extractor get the System, boot and recovery images. Then flash everything with fastboot, like this: Fastboot flash system System.img
Remember that commands are case sensitive so be careful. Good luck!

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

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

Yes, but any PRA-LX1C432 i tried doesn't work for me, flashing by fastboot. I believe any PRA-LX1 should work on this phone, but i will need to use that dc phoenix software to flash it.

Hello ! I think I could be of some help since I encountered the exact same problem !
edit: well I just realized I can't find your ROM with firmware finder either, sorry for the failed attempt
In your case I'd try with each firmware until one would work or a I tried them all.
You need some utilities first :
- Firmware Finder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
It will allow you to find the stock ROM that fits your model
-Huawei UPDATE extractor
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
It will allow you to extract the .img files from the firmware previously downloaded.
-fastboot and adb
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.
edit: formatting
Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

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

But keep updating in case someone more knowledgeable peeks in.
similar problem....I was fairly good but play store was stuck in pending download....
I did a wipe in TWRP, and ended with a black screen...
I can boot to eRecovery, but it fails.and also to TWRP.
when attached to PC it keeps being seen and unseen as if its stuck in a power on cycle
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
The programs that will allow you to flash the .img files.
Now:
1. Find your ROM using firmware finder (the model is usually on the box you received the android in).
2.Extract the necessary .img files : system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
3.Reboot into the bootloader, connect your device to your computer, open a cmd exe (powershell in my case) by holding shift+right click on the folder containing the .img files and flash each .img file, e.g. for the system file:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
4.then use "fastboot reboot" and after that shutdown your device
(in my case even after flashing the .img files I was greeted by a blank screen, so I shutdown my device holding the power button).
5. Boot into recovery holding vol up + power buttons (be sure to disconnect your device before shutting down and powering it up again) and choose factory reset.
It should then reboot into ROM installation procedure where you will have to follow the same steps as when you booted your device for the first time.
edit: formatting
Also, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no custom ROM officially supported for our dear device.

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

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

Also i noticed everytime a OTA fails you get the full version offered on next boot. So you should get a full B164 aswell after it failed
JStrel said:
Yes I had the exact same problem, but once I did what I described, by rebooting into recovery (without twrp), I finally had the option to restore factory settings.
I believe the issue is in the fact you don't have access to the stock ROM for your model.

https://boycracked.com/2016/03/14/h...-unbrick-firmware-any-huawei-android-devices/
hi guys,
yesterday i installed the oreo beta on my VTR-L29 but then i brickedd it *cry*. unfortunateley the unbrick methods found here in the forum don't work because the oreo update made some changes in the system file structure...
has anyone an idea what to do?
maybe someone can provide me a recovery image for twrp? (one for oreo, otherwise it wont work) so i can give this a try...
after over 10 hours of fiddeling around a found a really easy solution:
most of you know HWOTA helps with this, but the "normal" version wont work after flashing oreo. but this version is flashed via twrp and is still working!
but you will need a oreo compatible twrp, which you can find here
i know the links are to mate 9 software, but since the p10 and mate 9 are nearly identical, it works on the p10 as well
can you post the step by step guide?
i am on oreo 8.0.0.046 and want to flash another version, or downgrade to nougat because few things don't work on this version
i dont know if downgrading works, i just reflashed the latest oreo.
accordingly to the first link it should work, just flash the TWRP from the second link and then follow the instructions from the first link.

i did sucsses to install twrp but on the second step, when i press on install on twrp, the phone restart to erocovey and failed to find the files. what am i doing wrong?
i think that i am stuck with that version forever....
if you reboot to erecovery, you have not successfully installed twrp. you have to install it with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk <path to twrp>"

EDIT : the process is sucsses, but its the same version.... 8.0.0.046
Bricked, no TWRP access, any ideas?
Hi.
I know this about a P10, I have a P10 Plus (VKY-L29C605), but the process should be similar, I think.
I bricked my phone after succesfully upgrading from B174 to B321 using HWOTA. After which I decided, since I was at it, to flash the Hyperplus Kernel. This led to a bootloop. To fix it I decided to just go ahead and HWOTA B321 all over again and get over it, and would have probably gone just fine, except I decided to rebrand (C605 > C432) while I was doing that, silly (no, stupid) mistake. This led to the brick I am currently expriencing, I have no recovery access, erecovery or TWRP.
So now I am left trying to unbrick the phone. I extracted the UPDATE.APP for both update_all_hw.zip and update.zip using the Huawei Extractor Tool with no difficulty, except unbricking methods ask for boot.img, which I could not find, so I went along without it and flashed: cust.img, recovery_ramdisk.img (using fastboot recovery_ramdisk command for Oreo), and system.img. All of the commands completed succesfully, but no shebang, still bricked and no recovery access. I figure this has to do with the rebrand as the result after executing the command "fastboot getvar vendorcountry" shows the rebrand pulled through (hw/eu 432).
I am currently downloading HWOTA8.zip (3GB worth of download) to see if I can do something it. I am also downloading the L29C432B360 OTA-FULL, since I believe I am not getting any progress becuase I used the updates for L29C605B321.
The kind people at funkyhuawei told me they could fix it with their tool, but I don't have the money for that right now.
I will post updates, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Many of us have posted over this in the last couple of days. Seems like Funky Huawei unbrick tool was the mehtod to get it work for me. You could try that!
or use dc-phoenix for me it worked (= in the moment i try to capture the usb ports kommunikation so i have the tool with the aktual firmware longer for 3 days :silly:
would first give dc a try 20 bucks for 3 days is ok i think (=

Must download some software for your phone, unzip update.zip, decompile UPDATE.APP to .iso files, (like recovery.iso, system, iso, vendor iso, boot iso) use fastboot and 10 minuts job, I brik my device over 10 thimes, and repair it.
So I was able to get the C432B360 firmware and I flashed it, but no I can't enter recovery mode because the battery is low (red lightning bolt/red led flash). Anybody know how to charge or force recovery mode boot from fastboot?
If anyone needs, can use my DC-Phoenix account, I don`t need it anymore.

Greeting,
Can you explain the procedure of how to do it?
Thank you
Today, I had successfully updated my L09-C432 (rebranded to L29) to Oreo. I decide to keep going and try to root using the magisk method present in the guide section.
During that process, I had several error, so I decided to flash the ramdisk. I all went downhill from there, impossible to restore any of the images I had on TWRP. Eventually I tried following HWOTA but for some reason. TWRP for oreo is not recognize by ADB on my system, I then decided to launch the upgradeoreo.zip according to this method as I had the files on my SD-card prior. Which led me to be unable to get into fastboot.
I am now left with the following error>
ERROR MODE:
Attention!
Please update system again
green android of death
Error!
Func NO: 11 (recovery image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
All I have left at this point is a functional fastboot,
I have tried:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
All of which complete successfully but none of them help me get forward. I am left with the same error.
All of which were extracted from the UPDATE.APP of the OREO update I had successfully completed on my phone.
Concerning TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (nougat version) fails.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (oreo version) succeeds but I am left with the same error.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (HWOTA8 version) succeds but left with the same error.
I have wandered the forums and tried a diversity of suggestion none of them seemed to work in my case.
What are your suggestion to fix this problem?
Any help you can provide is much appreciated.
I can probably find a way to pop my SD_Card into my laptop if necessary.
Same problem here, I have tried multi_tool 8 without any success. Maybe someone you can share a TWRP backup?
I was wondering if the dload method could be an option? Which firmware to use in that case?
There is Huawei official service ROM for P10 Lite and P10 Plus. Cannot find for P10.
Do you think the Funky Huawei unbrick tool would resolve this (($$$, but cheaper than a non-warranty repair...)
If so would I just use the circa 4 GByte update.app file from the update.zip firmware file, rather than the smaller update.app from update_all_hw.zip?

I tried the dload method that is a no go. Besides the other option DC-phoenix (which is a pay mehtod as well ) I feel like these are our last resort.

And yes you should use the 4.3GByte update.app file. Are you trying the tool? If so, let us know how it works out! It is the next step for me.

Well, I coughed up the cash to FunkyHuwawei and have made some progress....
After using their unbrick tool, I now have access to eRecovery, and am pondering the best way to fully flash the ROM.
The Funky Huawei eRecovery method doesn't seem to work (I did change my router's DNS as instructed), and I'm hesitant to try the manual update method again given the issues people seem to be having with it.
Any suggestions?

Well I guess I am going to fork up the cash too. ($100 in one day for him, not bad eh?)
Can you restore TWRP? maybe you can follow the HWOTA method without the first couple of steps? Also, can you not recover using the dload method then or just download the software from the recovery?
Well I can confirm, the fix worked splendidly, it got me in erecovery where I was able to delete the userdata (unfortunate but perhaps necessary).
Then a couple of reboots and I am back in an Android. So happy!

So it looks like the unbrick tool actualy installed the full ROM correctly - I can't have been giving it enough time to boot.
However the first time it booted the DPI was screwy just as it was after I mistakenly flashed the P10+ Oreo ROM (maybe the data partition hadn't been wiped). But a quick factory reset and all's well, and I'm over the moon to have rescued my phone with a little (i.e. lot) of help from FunkyHuawei - and a bit of cash.
Now to decide whether I want/need to risk rooting again...

Rooting is where it all went to **** for me. I am staying the hell away from it until a lot of people confirm it works fine!
Are you having only limited functionality as well? It seems like we have to reinstall the update data file as well as the update hw file?

Limited in what respect? Mine seems fine so far - the radios work (cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth) and the system and the few apps I've tried so far are working as expected.
The notification toolbar is gone? Is that normal? Did i miss out on android removing them?

A factory reset fixed some weirdness for me, but you said you'd wiped userdata in eRecovery which I guess has the same effect?

How many people bricked specifically hardbricked their phone after 2018-04-16 updates,while OTA or rebranding using any tool and choose which methods you tried to solve.
we need to show how many people we are,and seek for solution or encourage BOX groups to do something for this matter.
Even huawei may help us if they see we are bunch of people.

The only versions that will brick (so far anyway) are BLA-L29C636B137 and ALP-L29C636B134 from 16/4, neither is a noxloader version.
Bricks occur when you update/downgrade/rebrand FROM those 2 firmwares.

I bricked my Huawei Mate 10 too
Please help.. I also bricked my Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L29C636...
I installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8_Mate10 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 ROM was from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636E2R1P8B108-log (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues at all but since Huawei Mate 10's EMUI 9.0 is still in Beta, I decided to switch back to the stable EMUI 8.0.
Here's where the problem started... Since I want to downgrade, I went ahead and downloaded the 3 needed files (update.zip, update_all_hw, update_data_public) from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636B143 (8.0.0.143). I fired up HWOTA8_Mate10 and started the installation process. The first step was to boot to fast boot and then plug the device, after that, the software asked me to unplug the device and press volume+ and power button but the device won't boot to recovery anymore. The device is now stuck at "Your device is booting now..." I tried rebooting the device but it won't work. Tried to go to eRevovery to wipe cache/factory reset but it will go back to "Your device is booting now..." page. I tried reinstalling the recovery.img via fastboot and tried to boot to recovery mode again but it won't work anymore. I believe my device is now soft bricked . I can still boot to fastboot, I even tried fastboot flash system system.img which was successful but the device still won't boot. Please help how to recover my device. I think I went too far and now I don't know how to fix this issue.

did you tried huawei pc app (hisuite)?
your problem maybe is because magisk, try to install in twrp "magisk uninstaller". or try to install via twrp, recovery_ramdisk.img, kernel.img and ramdisk.img from the last rom of android 8 (extract with huaweiupdateextractor), then install via twrp with hrupdater 0,4 the same update.zip that you extract the kernel.img, recovery and the other img that I told you.
look at the guides of the preocesses that I told you, if you have any question let me know

If the update process didn't even started, you need to flash stock Pie kernel, recovery_ramdisk and system, using fastboot.
This should get you back to a working OS.

as far as I can read, I think he wants to come back to OREO, so he has to install first recovery_ramdisk.img, kernel.img and ramdisk.img from 8.0.0.143 (extracting those files with huaweiextractorupdate) and then flashing those files via fastboot or your twrp version. Then, he has to use hrupdater 0.4 to install 8.0.0.143
Am I right Pretoriano80?

No, first he has to recover the current OS, and my advise was only for that.
Then he will need to use a TWRP + NoCheck combo, to get back to Oreo.
HuRUpdater can't get you back to Oreo so you guys should stop using that with Pie.
Mate 10 Pro BLA-L09
I also installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues too. After a while I decided to switch back to EMUI 8.0. using also HWOTA8 I put three zip files with EMUI8 (update.zip .....). Update ended with error. That's it.
I only have fastboot working but I am able to flash only few partitions System.img, Recovery_ramdisk.img, Kernel.img. I tried to flash them many times - nothing.
Couple months ago I messed up with my phone and I had to buy and use DC-Phoenix. It worked for me then. This time did not because DC-Phoenix only support EMUI 8. They refunded me money I paid for - that's good thing but my phone is still bricked.
Then I've found MultiTool for Huawei
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
It shows that
https://gyazo.com/70820957c6638e27bfe79418dfb07e3e
(Firmware 9.0.0.108,device bla-l09,no serial number, no IMEI and battery status 0)
HiSuite says device is not supported.
Is there any way to force HiSuite to recover not supported device?
Anyone knows the solution?
I booked my phone for repair with Huawei Service.

I have tried. I flashed Pie 9.0.0.108 - nothing, 9.0.0.112 (chinese ver) - nothing. I tried BLA-L09 8.0.0.148(SP1C432) - nothing.
After flashing recovery_ramdisk, kernel and system of all above firmware there is no change only fastboot is working.
The problem is that downgrade process from Pie to Oreo went to 95% ( I thing - I don't remember exactly but for sure it was 90 something). It could have changed most of partitions to Oreo but left one or few unchanged (like verlist.img, xloadr.img, vendor.img, product.img).
From fastboot I am able to change (flash) only few partitions.
Do you gays know any other tools like dc-phoenix to force to flash all partitions. (Couple months ago when I used DC Phoenix with Emui 8 it used backdoor to flash difficult partitions.)
Example:
Writing XLOADER partition with file X:\Install\Telefony\Huawei_Mate_10_pro\DC_Phoenix_v50\XLOADER.img
XLOADER partition UPDATE ...FAILED
Cannot get FBlock info from device
Activating backdoor: DONE
Writing XLOADER partition with file X:\Install\Telefony\Huawei_Mate_10_pro\DC_Phoenix_v50\XLOADER.img
XLOADER partition UPDATE ...OK

I think you should use my TWRP + NoCheck recovery and try to flash the Pie beta again.

Hello,
I was trying to install a custom ROM from TWRP to my P8 Lite 2017 and I wiped all partitions except MicroSD.
The installation failed and I got the stock ROM and then I discovered that my bootloader is locked. I can access TWRP and when I flashed the stock ROM the phone just boots to TWRP Recovery. And I can't even unlock the bootloader because the phone doesn‘t have any OS and I can‘t enable OEM unlocking from the system settings. And because I have TWRP, I can’t access Huawei Recovery. So my phone is basically bricked.
Any help will be appreciated

Use dload with a service firmware.
You need to flash this 2 times,once for the firmware and second time for vendor,and the firmware UPDATE.APP can be found in the update_sd.zip and the vendor UPDATE.APP can be found in the PRA-L31 or PRA-L11 folders (most likely you will have PRA-L31,you can find this in the engineering menu by going into the dialer and typing this: *#*#2846579#*#*,and then going to Veneer Informations and Version Info,but since you cannot boot flash PRA-L31 vendor).
http://androidhost.ru/6uc - this is latest firmware,but takes a very very long time to download
https://mega.nz/#F!nwhAWDjC!cNovAN6dKLlO_YZ9fjMbzQ - this is the first official firmware released,but download speed is very good
If you don't know how to use dload you can look it up on forums.
If your phone is really hard bricked and can't do anything, check this out:
I know how to use dload, but how I can boot into dload mode with TWRP installed and bootloader locked?

Dload works no matter what,at least I was able to enter it when I bricked my phone,even when I completely screwed up my recovery partition,so you should be good. Try using it with the service firmware I left you.

Now I have downloaded the service firmware so how I am going to flash it now? Like do I extract the UPDATE.APP and flash it in TWRP or what? You said that flash UPDATE.APP, but am I going to do that in dload mode or TWRP?

In dload,make sure you make a folder in the root of your sdcard called dload and put that in there.

Hm,make sure you used the service firmware I left you,but if you are sure you did,your last resort is DC Phoenix which you will need to pay 20 euros.

if you have TWRP installed could you make a backup of your oeminfo partition so we could provide you the right firmware to recover your device

I've tried a different firmware for my device and now I can't get to dload anymore so does it mean that I've chosen the wrong firmware? And by the way I read somewhere that if the dload says error it can depend on the microsd card.
I tried it again with the service firmware and I got to dload and it didn't have error anymore and now I've got everything worked and my phone is unbricked

I was stuck with a similar problem. Device bricked and flashing TWRP and restoring backups, then stock recovery and stock roms, but nothing worked until I found this post. Thanks a lot dinoderda for your help.

Hello again, I've been using the older service firmware for few months now and now I decided to install the latest service firmware after I had no success with flashing the firmware through TWRP and I downloaded the service firmware put the necessary files to the dload folder and installed it via the software update in the dialer and typing *#*#2846579#*#* and going to dload that way. It installed to 100% and then when it restarted it goes to Error Mode and it says to update the firmware again but it just loops to error mode and I cannot do anything so I think I accidentally removed some neccessary files in the dload folder but now I would need to fix the error mode loop.
