Honor 4x hanged (in some Indian kitkat version, not rooted) and after restart it is in bootloop. Honor logo appears then blue light starts to appear then restart.
Recovery mode and dload update not working.
After unlocking bootloader tried fastboot -w, still in bootloop.
Extracted Lollipop, Marshmallow, Kitkat - B161, B126 and flashed in fastboot. Possible to flash only recovery, boot, userdata & system. For others - failed : remote command not allowed. After flashing no change, still in bootloop.
Tried to boot to recovery from fastboot boot
- for lollipop and marshmallow recoveries it says "dtb not found"
- others including twrp, cm it is in bootloop.
Out of warranty.
Need help.

Oh ****, that seems like a frustrating situation. What made the device mess up so much? Have you gone to service centres?
Regards,
PoseidonKing
Not tried to flash or root. It just hanged while using.
Service centre said board gone (as always). MTK devices have a factory mode through which we can check working of all board parts. I did not find any way for this.

balongc52b311 after failing kangvip 6.7.1
hey there. will tell you my experience with failing to flashing kangvip 6.7.1 due to wiping problem
i wiped my cache, data, system even internal storage and yet failed to flashing kangvip 6.7.1 4 custom rom due to "cust" folder unable to mount giving me this:
error 1 can't mount /cust (Invalid argument)
so after failing to mount that folder and even deleting it by mistake,i got a new error:
error 1 can't mount cust no such file or directory
i lost hope and let my my honor 4x normally boot but it took too long and i was determined its stuck on bootloop :cyclops:
i woke up today finding it on 5% battery and giving me that first time setup as if all i did was a factory format BUT all in chinese. checked the build number and it was balongc52b311.
i tried mounting "cust" folder to r/w and rebooted into bootloader but it gave me the same first error. i tried deleting the folder and then rebooting into recovery and it gave me the 2nd error. created the folder "/cast" and then rebooted into recovery and it gave me the same first problem that the folder can't mount EVENTHO it was mounted successfully right before i rebooted into recovery (did this 3 times to make sure)
did some researching and found a solution for honor 4c http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/help/huawei-honor-4x-balong-hi6210sft-fixed-t3324335 or two BUT both for lolllipop and i'm marshmallow.
i'm already halfway at the method i mentioned above but i stopped after i realized it was for lollipop. i rooted my mobile and changed my build number to "Che2-L11C636B330". worth to mention that my model number remained already the same "Che2-L11".
the cust folder error is still there whenever i go to the bootloader
now i have no idea what to do, what firmware to download and if i have to downgrade first to lollipop and then upgrade to marshmallow again...
my marshmallow version was the middle east final version before this balong happened: Che2-L11C185B561 and i would like to go back to it again.. thank you in advance ( :
###*UPDATED BELOW*
fixed my problem trying the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-rooted-twrp-modaco-rom-unable-t3462039/page2
>>>>worth to mention that i flashed my oeminfo for my UPDATE.APK REGION before flashing the extracted files from UPDATE.APP "wasn't mentioned in that method"
now i'm back to my original marshmallow version "middle east". good luck people.

How to Root my honor 4x Che2-L11?
Hi everyone, I'm noob, so I need a step to step guide if there's such a thing
my android version is 6.0 and EMUI 4.0
I have bootloader code for unlocking the phone, thanks in advance guys, also happy new year :good:
Phone Honor 4x (che1-L04) Stuck in fastboot mode
My phone is stuck in fastboot mode. Couldn't get the bootloader unlock key online as it requires the product id which can be obtained by dialing a number which isn't possible. I have requested directly from the customer care number and the official chat portal as well but its been more than a week and still they are asking for 24 working hours. Is there any alternative method of getting the key or atleast the Product ID?
Model name :Che1-L04
Stuck in Fastboot & Rescue mode with the bootloader locked.
I got unlock key after 12 days. Honor 4x hanged after restart it is in bootloop.
3 button sd card update not working ?

No the update.app isnt working I guess because I have already flashed the CM13 recovery image with the bootloader locked. However, I recieved the bootloader key yesterday from the email but when I tried unlocking by the fastboot command it said it is an invalid or wrong key. Is there any other way to take my phone back to stock condition atleast without actually unlocking the Bootloader?

1. Try "fastboot continue" it will directly boot without going to recovery.
2. If fastboot flash works flash recovery of the firmware installed in phone before bootloop.
3. If still not works flash boot, system, recovery (in this order) of firmware installed before bootloop.
Confirm unlock key with customer care if it is still locked.
I wanna know is there any other method to install xposed framework since the normal installation is not working for me.
Using Honor 4x Che1-l04 running on (stock ROM) Android marshmallow 6.0.1, have TWRP custom recovery and is rooted.

no other way, unfortunatly.. one way or the other, you have to flash the zip...
ps: if you are on emui, first boot after flashing xposed will take a really long time.. mine took around 25 minutes to boot.. so dont consider it a boot loop, wait untill 30 minutes and you will be profitted
Mine was in boot screen for around 3 minutes and then rebooted into recovery. Same thing was happening again and again. So at last did the restore process from TWRP.

not really..
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.
Anyway, it works!

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.

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!

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?

You have a hardware bug?
No abd command to enter dload mode..
Try flash a update.zip with twrp (not guaranted)
After that unlock bootloader again and make factory reset.

Hi, I followed this guide to go back to stock from elite rom. I flashed my oeminfo.img on twrp and then went to dload combination. Do I have to unlock the bootloader after the reboot? Thanks!
Hi,
I followed your guide and it works perfectly thanks!
Hi guys,
got a little problem on my VTR-L09C432.
I got Oreo running like explained right here: http://www.stechguide.com/install-android-8-0-oreo-on-huawei-p10/#comment-12332
After that, Oreo bootet fine. But to get a clean install, I did a factory reset.
After that my Version is 8.0.0.046(01BN) and not 8.0.0.311.
There are a few little bugs so I decided to flash once again. I tried to flash TWRP in fastboot mode. -> No success
I tried to flash with the following command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp***.img -> SUCCESS!
BUT no i get an Error message when trying to boot into recovery:
Attention! Please update system!
"- picture of the little green guy-"
Error!
Func No 11 (recovery image)
Error No 2 (load failed)
gettin into eRecovery is no Problem. System boots fine and runs better than Nougat, better battery life, with a fews little bugs.
How do I get a TWRP running?
In case if no chance, how do I get system oreo Recovery flashed an running?
Will it be possible to get official updates, when I will get back to original recovery?
One big bug is that my screen won't turn on when receiving notifications... even not with the help of a third party app Any idea how to fix it anyway?
If TWRP will be flashed successfully, is there a Chance to flash these 3 Update-Files through twrp?
Thx a lot!
You have flashed a C900 and you have a C432. So your device didnt find all needed files.
Try to flash this twrp (its in a MEGA Folder) and report .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/stf-l09c432-how-to-install-oreo-h9-t3707729
Thx for your reply. You mean there are files, which I need to flash again for my c432 device?
I flashed the twrp from your link.
Flashing was fine but no chance to get into twrp. Still the same error.
Can I flash the RAMDISK or Recovery Ramdisk from your mega-source?
UPDATE: I flashed STR_Stock_Recovery from your Mega-Folder and got success. Now I can boot into stock recovery and into Erecovery. But still no TWRP is working...
UPDATE2: I got a working TWRP by flashing this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
Now my question...can i flash the Supersu from your mega-folder onto my P10? Or will it be bricked?

2. boot in fastboot mode (shutdown, restart by pressing power&vol- with usb cable attached)
3. Flash TWRP Recovery from link above fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP***.img
3.1. if this doesn't work, flash TWRP attached below this link
4. boot in to twrp recovery (shutdown phone, restart by pressing power & vol+)
5. Flash supersu.zip from link above
6. reboot
7. install root browser or similar from playstore
8. get root privileges to root browser
9. reboot
10. navigate to /cust/hw/
11. rename "normal" folder to "eu" (without the quotes)
12. navigate to /version/special_cust/STF-L09/hw

Thx for this guide, i will try it later!!! But whats the main change now???
When i see it clearly, then you still have the 8.0.0.046 Version on your device... But you have a working TWRP.... And you will receive official updates?
I am wondering, becaus i did the same with my P10 ( i am on 8.0.0.046 too) and i am not sure, if this is an official version with official updates... If it isnt, i will try to go back to Nougat...

After these steps, you have 8.0.0.311 version, themes working, screen on notification working and so on.

Hey cologne83!
First of all, thanks for this helpful guide, now i see finally 8.0.0.311 on my phone
But you dont actually need the root browser, because you can change those folders in twrp too!
Secondly i have a question:

how did you do this? everytime i boot in twrp it shows me only gibberish until i go one directory up.
Root on Oreo would be super nice
Put zip file on external SD card. Your internal is encrypted.
Gesendet von meinem VTR-L09 mit Tapatalk
ok, i hoped it is on Android O not encrypted anymore.
But anyway thank you works likes new now!
just a little bit off topic question: is there any new version available? when i check systemupdates it says that that my Version (8.0.0.311) is the latest available. just wanna be sure
deleted
8.0.0.046(04vt)
Does someone has a solution for the 8.0.0.046(04VT) version? If I navigate to /cust/hw/ I find now two folders: eu and normal. In /version/special_cust/VTR-L09/hw I find the eu. folder. So what to change here? Thx

I have upgraded from Nougat to Oreo following the guide written at the beginning of this post.
Oreo now is installed, phone is not rooted and when I go to fastboot mode to flash Oreo TWRP, this happens:

OKAY [ 0.474s]
writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...

Bootloader and frp are both opened and RED in fastbooot mode.

Some ideas ?

same for me after hwota and rebrand fail. And I don't find the STR_stock just 2 STR_recovery but even if android say flash sucessfully i can't acces to recovery nor ercovery.
P.S: I was using OREO rom when I try to rebrand
It can works on Huawei P10 EMUI 8.0.0? How to root that model? I stuck on how to install twrp,. Please help me.....
my system is saying im on 8.0.0.046(0BZC and i can't even get the erecovery or twrp to work at all. nobody around here wants to help or pin point me in any direction either
I have exactly the same problem, but the locations mentioned here don't even exist on my phone, so I can't rename them
10. navigate to /cust/hw/
11. rename "normal" folder to "eu" (without the quotes)
12. navigate to /version/special_cust/STF-L09/hw
cust does not contain a "hw" folder, just a "lost+found" one.
version/special_cust/VTR-L09/hw does exist, but when I try to rename "hw" I get "operation failed".
Very annoying!
I stuck also inside the 8.0.0.046 !
And i dind´t found any solution for this.
This is what i allready tried:
- official eRecovery : download from huawei. But didn´t worked after download. Stucked at 0%
- TWRP oreoupdate ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286 )
- TWRP HuRuUpdate ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/ )
- TWRP HWOTA8 ( https://www.******.com/huawei-hwota-tool-for-huawei-devices/ )
Just to answer my pre-writers:
You need to "mount" the folders "cust" and "version" to see something inside. Only then you are able to change things. In my case this changes
didn´t affect something positive to my version number.
Not sure what i did wrong. Maybe my false was
- Wipe all with TWRP instead with eRecovery
or because
- i flash my (C02) witth (C432) version
So i tried 4x different ways to solve my issue (mostly with TWRP). With no success. If somebody read this, it would be great to get some tips or a complete solution. Would appretiate it.
Okay.
Somehow i found a solution by myself. I have to guess, that the issue is / was of a wrong build nr. In my case i got a previous vers. VTR-L09 8.0.0.382(C02)-FULL. So i updatet to a different build (C432). After
this my Themes disappeared, no file manager and the vers. no. was 8.0.0.046 , somehow. So i tried to go back to VTR-L09 8.0.0.382(C02)-FULL which i downloaded before. Tried both methods: dload, TWRP. No
success. In the end i downloaded VTR-L09 8.0.0.389(C02)-FULL and this worked with the TWRP update method: oreoupdate (check my previous post). After the Update with TWRP before it boots into the
system i was triggering eRecovery to do a "wipe chache / factory reset". Finaly, after all of this, i got a working device as it should ! I hope it can help maybe some people. If everything doesn´t work, just try a different update build number.
My phone is stuck at Samsung Logo I have tried (Stock firmware, wipe data, factory reset nothing works) and the recovery gives the error mentioned in the title.
failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) . I have tried various methods but nothing worked. Anyone have idea how to solve this issue ?

tried downgrading to 8.1.0?
did your developer option have oem unlocking option? Its that even if unlock bootloader but if your developer option doesn't show oem is already unlocked then it says that to me as well.
But hey I don't know everything you have done, you might have done everything correctly still it screwed you. Best of luck bud.
if you dont mind what happens when you flash the firmware?

My device is stuck at samsung logo and it is not booting. I have tried to downgrade it to 8.1.0 with odin and it was successfully done.
But issue remains the same. Hence it is not booting so i am not able to unlock OEM. I am getting error in recovery that is E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) . Somehow i found a threat with a solution and for that i need to install TWRP in my device.

I needed to tweak date to make OEM unlocking: Bootloader is already unlocked on developer options after flashing stock rom of other region but for my exact region it appears each time and I dont need to boot to rom to flash twrp, I can flash the ROM and twrp simultaneously only in my device's original firmware(8.1.0) but not in rom of any other region and on pie.
I hope I'm not annoying you, could you try flashing 8.1.0 by unticking auto reboot ----- force reboot ---- odin --- twrp.
Edit: this thing doesn't make sense.
