[TIPS] Revert Custom Rom to Official and untouched - Hard restore - Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi!
I see the large number of requests concerning the roolback of a custom rom to a official and untouched EMUI 4, i decide to create this thread.
After follow that methode, you able to rest on official EMUI and get the new update automatically on OTA (directly on your phone) OR try to install custom rom with a clear and good base version.
1. You ave access on TWRP?
-If not, pleas unlock your bootloader (again) and flash TWRP recovery for you actual version (marshmallow or nougat).
-perform a full wipe and restore your partitions on "ext4" format, shutdown phone.
2. Get a "oem_info.zip" for your model phone (dont extract the .zip) and push it on your internal or external sd.
-This archive contain cust and oem info for patched your phone at the correct manufacture information.
-I have a link for VNS-L31 (c432, but is not very important) HERE LINK
-If you have other model (VNS-L31) pleas find a correct patch for you (VNS-L21, ...).
3. Find and download a EMUI marshmallow official full-ota update.
-for a VNS-L31 i advice choice a VNS-L31C432B160 full-ota update.
4. Unpack your update archive.
5. Create "dload" folder on your internal or external sd and put it UPDATE.APP
6. Reboot phone on TWRP recovery and flash "oem_info.zip"
7. Use dload methode for update (hold 3 buttons phone and dont release before "dload screen" appears)
8. Unlock your bootloader again (important!) And make a factory reset
9. Your phone reboot (please wait ) and done!
Ok now you are on official version, please update on setting menu >> update and choice, rest on official or flash a custom rom..
P9 lite brick precision:
In my personal experience the "p9 lite" is very easy to flash, mod or other tips and the risk of HARD brick is very very tiny.
If you see this page and your phone bootloop, relax, keep calm at 99,999% you have a little and ridiculous brick
Good luck and flash happy!

I can do everything up to point 6... won't enter to twrp... stays on Your device is now booting...
Update: I can now reach point 7 but now won't do dload (3 buttons) method... Huawei logo all the time. Can't even turn off the phone

In my other thread you post the same problem but is not entirely the same..
You succeeded to enter on fastboot mode? Flash recovery?
If you follow the steps 1-5 is impossible to fail the 6 point..
You have acces on fastboot mode or not?..

I did update the post... 3 hours ago I wasn't able to enter TWRP, some way I did managed, now I can enter fastboot, I did flash custOEM (sorry I don't remember exactly the name but it's the one of your post) .zip file. Now I can't do dload method, stuck on huawei logo. If I try to go to recovery, I got red message "phone fail validation"...
I know, I post on both but I was trying to do everything...
just tried... validation red error message won't let me go to TWRP now...

You have a VNS-L31C432?
Your phone does not enter at dload mode?
Wipe all partitions an retry flash a oeminfo for your model phone (if not C432 you need right oeminfo).

How can I wipe all partitions if stuck in Huawei logo? Is there a way to do everything from adb command line? (I'm using Mac and cannot use all the tools I've found here XDA neither hiSuite which is basically a backup photo/video only the Mac version).
Thank for helping, really appreciate
To answer your question in the other thread, yes bootloader is unlocked and I am on C432.

What's your rom have before the bootloop?
You have the right version of TWRP for your rom?
If you have a MM version Don't flash a TWRP for N.
Send me a link to TWRP version used (thread forum)

Before the bootloop I was on L31C900 (on the phone) but I did actually flashed C432B160 because I did rollback. TWRP used I've found in the other post where there's a OEMfile to flash (but for this I need to double check because I did look so many pages which I am not 100% sure.

I not have experience on other model that C435.
But i suggest to find a oeminfo for your variant (C900?)
For TWRP you need flash a version for MarshMallow HERE
Flash it and pas return here (fastboot flash return and first enter to new recovery)

Hi, found Windows emulator for MacOs so I extract from update.app boot.img and flash.
I did format all partitions as told using a proper twrp this time.
What's next step, system says NO OS INSTALLED?

Flash partitions on .img files is not needed.
Just find a corect oeminfo for your model phone.
Flash it on TWRP recovery.
Use dload methode to update on basical version (MarshMallow b160).
After that, unlock bootloader again and make a factory reset.
Switch on your phone (the first boot make long time).
Update on last emui on OTA.
Done!
After that you able to install a custom rom.

IT won't turn off so been always on it won't keep the charge... Writing so because apparently it won't go to download mode (dload) if plugged in. On the other way if I unplugged from power it won't even start. Shall I force to download mode using console ADB or FASTBOOT? I had looked but can't find anything...

Correct. Because I'm not able to switch it off it won't keep the charge. When discharged, the minute I do plug on charge it wakes up... That's the loop...
My main question is: does a command exist to enter download mode using terminal?

No abd command to enter dload mode..

Hi,
I need help... I'm trying to go back to stock recovery & firmware, I have already tried everything and I'm absolutely fustrated:crying::crying::crying:
1.- I had TWRP recovery and MIUI, the phone (ASCEND P7-L10) is rooted
2.- After downloading flashify and the stock recovery, I have installed the stock recovery, everything OK.
3.- Rebbot into recovery and when I try to wipe data and/or cache it says:
data wipe completed (or cache wipe completed)
huawei cust fail
If I try to install any ROM B120, B126, B133, B135... I always get the same error, "cust fail"
If I reboot the phone still has MIUI... but I need to restore to factory recovery/firmware...
Help needed, I'm going to hit the roof...
thanks in advance!
Put your original firmware on dload in sd card, flash original recovery with fastboot or flashify, shut down your phone. Now press power volume- and volume+ ! This will install the original firmware.

Use only original stock cust.img extracted from stock ROM. I always do it in this order:
1. Download mode and flashing stock recovery
2. Recovery mode and wipe (both option)
3. Download mode and flashing cust.img
4. Recovery mode and wipe (both option)
5. If still error go download mode and flash:
cust.img, cache.img, userdata.img, system.img
6. Recovery mode and wipe (both option)
I had many times this error while reverting my B135 after MIUI ROM.

But after downloading original stock rom, as soon as I have flashed cust everything started to work perfectly, wipes... firmware...

Huawei has released an official downgrade ROM (B603) here (russian site):
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=38601&version=66144&siteCode=ru
You'll also need this official EMUI 3.0 recovery image:
https://mega.co.nz/#!ZZ9QxIiL!Cn4mV2ZG2zzFc956CoWQh4BnBQqyK4rClghlY8CoXQk
As well as fastboot/ADB (platform tools) files here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632011
Now here's how you do it.
Copy the dload folder (found in ROM) to the root of your SD Card
Now turn off your phone
While off press and hold Vol Down & Power Key, when screen turns on release Power Key, but keep holding the Vol Down key until you see a white screen (fastboot mode)
Now decompess files from platform tools to a new folder called ADB on your desktop for example
Hold down Shift and right click on ADB folder on your Desktop and choose "run command windows here", a little black window should pop up
Now type:
fastboot devices - this is to check if your phone is correctly detected (if not, then drivers are needed. Just install HiSuite)
fastboot flash recovery stockEMUI3.0RECOVERY.img
fastboot reboot
Your phone will now boot into your current OS. Go to Settings>Updates>Local Update
This will install the downgrade ROM from russian Huawei site (B603)
After this is installed your phone will boot into your current OS again. This time delete UPDATE.APP from dload folder and put your stock firmware in there.
Now repeat the process Settings>Update>Local Update
This time it will finally install that stock KitKat with EMUI 2.3 OMG !!! Finally !!!
God i hope i'll never have to do this again

[Tutorial] Convert Honor 6+ Chinese in European (only PE-TL10)

Today I bring new tutorial to completely convert the Honor 6 Plus Chinese in European. (It's only applicable for the model PE-TL10).
So we must have unlocked bootloader and root. If we meet these requirements, we can proceed with the conversion.
1. Download the latest European version (B571)
2. Create a folder called dload in the micro sd and introduce there the update.app
3. Download the European oeminfo here, unzip and move the oeminfo.img to internal memory.
4. Install the app termux or terminal emulator
5. Open the app and write "su" to get root permissions.
6. Later, write "dd if=/sdcard/oeminfo.img of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo" and when it finished, turn off the Smartphone.
7. Press Vol-+ and Power to install the European update.app and we will have turned the PE-TL10 Chinese in European.
Neither me or XDA we are not responsible for any misuse of the tutorial. I want to thank @foncubiert to try it

Hi guys,
self reply. I got through it. It was not completely without troubles, but finally I have Android 6.0 with EMUI 4.0.1 (build PE-TL10C432B571) in my PE-TL10 (originally on Android 4.4.2, EMUI 3.0, build PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B260). I don't need a ROOT and custom recovery now so it is unrooted and stock recovery now.
First, I have never rooted Honor 6 PLUS and as it is not the newest device and it is not fully supported anymore by Honor MultiTool you have to use another way.
Bootloader has to be UNLOCKED - I used the MultiTool - it's fine and without any troubles
Device has to be ROOTED - that was a bit issue, because you have to flash custom recovery to be able to flash SuperSU and root the device. I did it via fastboot.
To enter the bootloader mode (fastboot) just switch off device, then hold Vol- and plug the USB cable - it should enter the bootloader mode - you should see the android robot and "phone UNLOCKED" indication.
Now you can use fastboot commands (you have to have proper drivers installed, you can find instructions on in another threads on XDA).
Or you can enter bootloader mode with command "adb reboot fastboot" - you have to be in the system (running Android) on the phone to run adb commands. It will restart your device and enter the bootloader mode after restarting.
Once you are in the bootloader mode with UNLOCKED bootloader you can flash custom recovery (necessary to flash SuperSU). I had to flash the proper custom recovery which I found here . I tried to flash another TWRP and CWM recoveries, but without success. You can flash the recovery with fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery CWM.img".
Then you can restart the device into the system with "fastboot reboot". Once you are in the system, you can reboot into recovery with command "adb reboot recovery".
In the recovery choose "install ZIP from ..." and choose this file. I had to choose the version BETA-SuperSU-v2.42.zip otherwise it didn't install anything despite the installation process was successful.
After the successful installation of SuperSU, you should have ROOTED device. You can check it for example with Root checker.
Then I mostly followed this tutorial. But with few modifcations.
I couldn't find this /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo folder in my phone so I had to change the command for terminal emulator in the phone to dd if=/sdcard/oeminfo.img of=/dev/block/platform/ff1fe000.dwmmc0/by-name/oeminfo. There is another folder in "platform" folder but it doesn't contain "by-name" folder.
Then the tutorial says Press Vol-+ and Power to install the European update.app and we will have turned the PE-TL10 Chinese in European, but the issue is, you can't enter the "download mode" after you installed custom recovery. It simply doesn't enter the "download mode" and it stays on the screen with honor logo.
It was necessary to get into the system to be able to use fastboot command to flash stock recovery. How to solve it. I could't enter the system anymore, but I could enter the CWM. So I wiped the data and cache through CWM (Vol+ and Power button) and I was able to enter the Android system again.
I used again the "fastboot flash recovery B250.img" and flashed this recovery. It didn't correspond with my build version B260, but it helped.
Then I restarted the phone, entered again the system and through "Settings - Updater - Menu - Local update" and choose the "UPDATE.APP" from "dload" folder (it should be automatically detected) and whoila, it should restart the device and load "download mode" and install the UPDATE.APP. You should be able to do this step with Vol+- Power button combination instead of doing it through "Settings menu". And that's all.
I rather added some of used files into the attachment
Hello there I have a Honor 6 plus PE-UL00 that i want to change to European rom from China variant. Its rooted Android 6 Marshmallow with custom recovery TWRP
Firmware PE-UL00C00561. I'm still a beginning t limited knowledge,. I've learnt what I could from the forums. anyhow..
As per the changing rom guide , I downloaded The European rom B571 update.app and placed it in sdcard DLOAD folder as well put the OEM.img on the hard drive and ran termux and entered the command as per the guide and it seemed to work.
The Next step says ton turn the phone off And then press the volume+/- and Power button.. and it will load into the system and install the rom.
As per The post above, i got up to that step and the phone would Just boot to menu then reset.. I was able to get in recovery mode via TWRP and ran my backup.
I've read Post that the PE.UL00 can be converted, but is it following the exact same way as the PE-TL10? Or I may be missing a step.
The above post encountered a similar issue and had success, but his was a PETL10 and had hise his own recovery.img. (250.img to access his system and update the rom. in that scenario would l try to flash my recovery.img to get back into the system and run the local update?
Lastly another person had commented about their success converting a PE-UL00 to European rom. But just mentioned that it was through TWRP. Would that be just a matter of one I've done the OEM.img boot back into recovery and installed the app through TwRp or must I do a full wipe First?
Sorry for rehashing an old thread.. any advice much appreciated.
.
I got it working. After the OEM. IMG update I tried flashing it through TWRP. After some trial and error, my power button isn't responsive sometimes so maybe i wasnt pressing the volume down/up power button combo correctly. As the phone would just biot to Honor screen and reset.
Eventually after a few reboots and tries it went into the emui screen download mode and success.. I think. I did lose root in the process. I'm unsure how, still a novice, but I was able to re root the phone install custom recover via. TWRP and install SuperSU.

I made it on my pe-ul00, it works for 100%.
It was a long time ago but as I remember, I installed b570 and after that update to b571.

May I know how did you rooted the chinese version device ?

PRA-LX1 I want to install stock firmware.

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.

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.

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.

Huawei eRecovery : "Getting package info failed". Honor 9 Lite

How do I uninstall TWRP and unroot my Honor 9 Lite so i can update the phone to LLD-L31 8.0.0.128(C432) with face unlock?
I have already locked bootloader.
When i reboot the phone it automatically brings me to eRecovery and when i "Download latest version and recovery" it says "Getting package info failed". Please help

Looks like you "played" a bit to much with your phone. There is no official TWRP yet and no official Firmware Image. So, this looks very bad for you to get out of this again.
Maybe try HiSuite from Huawei or MultiTool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=28734
Probably this could help as long as you can connect via ADB or HDB from HiSuite.
Good luck...
Hey, I've faced the exact same issue. After playing even a bit more, I manged to revert my device (LLD-L31) back to stock.
I've uploaded all the files I used, for you.
It passes SafetyNet check successullfy!
Download required files here
Here is was I did:
Format data using TWRP (Wipe -> Format data)
Enter fastboot mode (Connect to PC, power+ VolDown)
fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.emmc.win
fastboot flash kernel kernel.emmc.win
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please tell me, if it worked!
Note:
The SYSTEM.img is extracted from the UPDATE.APP from this site.
Kernel and ramdisk are from a LOS-15.1 TRWP backup. Not sure if they're required, but it didn't work for me without flashing them.
error while extracting update.app

Why exactly do you need to extrac the update.app? I've already uploaded all required files and linked them in my previous post.
Also, which program did you use? Which operating system did you use?
now my phone is looping

In order for me to help you, I need to know exactly what you did.
So what did you do before your phone went into bootloop? (And don't worry, my Honor 9 lite has been in bootloops 100 of times, we can fix that! )
And how did you try to enter fastboot?
Make sure your phone is connected to a computer via USB!
Then press and hold Volume DOWN and Power button until phone reboots.
Release power when you see the blue honor screen.
Release volume down key, when you are in fastboot.

Again, I need to know whay you did!
You don't necessarily need to factory reset after a flash. But it probably won't make things worse.
But if you are switching the ROM (stock to a custom Rom) you indeed have to format data in twrp.

Ok, now I can help you.
First of all, install TWRP. Use img2 (the experimental test build) if img #1 just stucks at the TWRP screen and won't enter the recovery.
Tell me when you succeed
You can get TWRP from here

i did as you said .. now phone is not starting stoped at huawei eRecovery
whan i go to twrp phone reboots itshalf after 10sec
If you can boot to bootloader
and bootloader = unlocked
and FRP = unlock
then you can reset the phone to stock-rom
you need download with HuaweiFirmwareFinder 1 FULL-Update from YOUR build
i see in FF "LLD-L31C432B131 FullOTA-MF
download the 3 files, extract with HuaweiUpdateExtractor
- ramdisk.img
- recovery_ramdis.img
- system.img
the extractor do automatik for all *.img 1 *.img.header
copy this 6 files to your ADB-Folder
For reset to stock-rom
- fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
- fastboot flash system system.img
after this reboot the phone, eRecovery format low-level "data", phone reboot and start as "new" phone (initial settings)
before you do this you can do 1 test :
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
why?
format low-level "data" work ONLY with stock-recovery, NOT with TWRP
after this is your "data" encrypt !
Only 1 TWRP work with encrypt/decrypt : https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3789306
if phone work set PIN for Screen-open (this PIN need TWRP by start for encrypt/decrypt "data")
if you need, you can now flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP.img
if you need install OTA-Updates : if OTA-Update on your phone "install update now ?" answer "NO, later" and
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img (stock-recovery)
and install Update now.
if all work and you need : flash TWRP
i hope you understand this "way"
the advantage : you can install with TWRP OR flash developer-system.img and if anything not work - reset phone to stock-rom
i use ONLY TWRP with encrypt. this is security-question. if phone lost - data is encrypt !
TWRP without encrypt work only
- boot to TWRP
- format data
- boot from TWRP to TWRP
- data have now NO encrypt
Doesn't Android use FBE by default since Android O, so the data is always encrypted no matter what TWRP was used?

By unlocking the bootloader you've void your warranty.
They will probably charge you for the repair.
What happens if you install this version of TWRP?
It's on Chinese, click the little icon in the top right corner and select "English".
If it doesn't crash, try this one.
Make sure to follow the correct steps for flashing.
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk [filename.img]
fastboot flash reboot
QUICKLY unplug USB and before it fully reboots, hold press Volume up key
If it fails, check out this guide:

(Help) My P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1) is bricked

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.

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

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

Ok, but does it provide the right info if I have flashed different oeminfo.img?

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

great
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.

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.

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.
