[GUIDE Step-byStep]RETURN2STOCK/UNBRICK/UNLOCK/ROOT] e.g. STUCK AFTER UPDATE - Mate 8 General

How to unbrick or get back stock on your Huawei Mate 8. There are many reasons why you would want to do that.
In my case my device (AL10) was stuck at "your device cannot be trusted" after updating from B180 to B321.
First I got to thank acer73 for his software. ajsmsg78 and Kris Chen for their links to the right ROMs.
Also thanks to DarkSilentSC for his help, especially with the L29, great support.
He has a L29, which I don't have, so I'm glad he provides help with that device.
This worked for me on my AL10 to get it back on track, should work on other models too. Just have to find the right ROMSs as according to your model. However, I am not responsible if this does not work for you or if it bricks your phone even more.
And remember: don't forget turning on usb debugging whenever you can!
Unbrick (return to Stock)
1. Find yourself a stock ROM.zip according to your model and extract from the zip the update.app (I used one from a B172 (AL10) Stock ROM, I was running a B180 custom ROM, it worked.)
2. Download the Huawei Update Extractor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
3. Extract boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and cust.img with the HuaweiUpateExtractor from the Update.App you find in the ROM to somewhere where you can find them easily
4. Head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rayglobe-italian-knife-t3295526 (You can also do it with fastboot commands, but Acer73's tool makes it easier)
5. get yourself the Italian Knife (btw you probably have to turn off your anti-virus program), extract it in a directory on your PC and start Rayglobe_knife.exe
6. Put the images you have extracted into the folder Unbrick (same directory where you extracted Rayglobe Knife in). The folder was created after you started Rayglobe_Knife.exe
7. Boot your phone into bootloader.
8. In the Rayglobe Knife tool choose Unbrick and choose the option where it says you have placed all the images in the unbrick folder.
9. let the magic work. The phone will restart and it will probably take 15 minutes, make sure its charged enough.
After all that I quickly updated to the latest Stock ROM version, in my case B321, which you need to do if you want to flash later a custom B321. See second post if you want to do that as well or continue with unlocking the bootloader.
Now lets get the bootloader unlocked (for some reason mine was still unlocked)
1. Get Minimal ADB https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410
2. Hopefully you still have your unlock code (cause you need it otherwise it won't work)
3. Put your phone in Bootloader Mode (Press & hold power and volume down)
4. Extract Minimal ADB zip and run command.bat
5. Type <fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (where xxxx is your bootloader unlock code)
6. Done
Now lets get twrp set up
1. For that we need minimal ADB again
2. Headover to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-mate-8-t3298567
3. Download TWRP according to your EMUI (For B321 it's EMUI 4.1)
4. Place the image in the directory of the Minimal ADB
5. Rename it to just twrp.img (not necessary but simplifies things)
6. Put your phone in Bootloader Mode (Press & hold power and volume down)
7. Run command.bat
8. Type <fastboot flash recovery twrp.img>
9. Then type fastboot reboot
10. Now you can hold volume up and power until your phone boots into TWRP
11. You need to format data (you'll lose everything on your phone)
12. Done

Remember: don't forget turning on usb debugging whenever you can!
!!!FOR L29 scroll down to DarkSilentSC's instructions!!!
After unbricking I quickly updated my AL10 to the latest version, in this case B321. Should work with all B3xx
1. Head over to Kris Chen's thread (this I used for the AL10)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-verison-t3324164
Or ajsmsg78's (also AL10 and L09)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66776194&postcount=58 to get the Stock B321
2. Download the ROM and after downloading the zip file, extract update.app from it. Copy the UPDATE.APP to the internal memory of your HM8 in a folder called - dload (you may have to create it). Then press [volume+]+
[volume-]+[power] together to force the update.
3. Voila B321
-----------
!!![For the L29 you should try DarkSilentSC's instructions, which you find below or in post #54 on page 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/unbrick-updating-to-b321-t3375934/page6 don't forget to hit thanks!!!
1. Start from stock B170 firmware with TWRP ready
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY, SYSTEM from B321 UPDATE.APP
3. Add firmware .zip file (which contains META-INF folder and UPDATE.APP) and place it into internal storage
4. Make sure internal storage data is fully backed up
5. Delete All Accounts in Settings
6. Go to Recovery, Wipe Cache, Delvik Cache, Data, System
7. Flash that .zip file! (Getting errors is okay at this time) [This is what I didn't do before!]
8. Boot straight to bootloader
9. fastboot flash boot, cust, and system
10. let it boot. Let it proceed with encryption process in chinese and fully boot into EMUI
11. NOW I'M AT EMUI 4.1!
12. Reboot to fastboot and fastboot flash insecure_boot and flash TWRP
13. Reboot to recovery (TWRP) and then flash whatever rom you want to place in!
14. Enjoying it!

Which update.app did you use? Maybe your download is corrupt?
BTW I debranded mine too with Acer's to international.

But you first used different ROM images to unbrick and then tried to update to B321.
really sounds as if your file is corrupted. Would try to download it again

ok i will try tommorow......thanks for help by theway the phone booted but if i flash recovery for root no boot.... very strange....sometimes aloud to flash from boot some times no ohhhhhhh(((
Or something no correct with huawei extractor..... Can you provide extracted files?
Thanks in advance.

So I unbricked with B170 and then tried force flashing B321. My first attempt at flashing B321 ended up getting stuck at 5%. Tried flashing again and it said it was incompatible with the current firmware version of my phone. Any ideas on what I should do next?
Edit: Nevermind. I mistakenly copied the UPDATE.APP from B170 to the dload folder instead of the one from B321. lol
Now on B321. Thanks!

Don't know which ROM you used to unbrick.
But seems that you used an B321 if that worked for you and you have no problems then that is great.
Could mean that wet can unbrick straight with the most current ROM available. If someone else could confirm?

sorry, is possible flash with knife if bootloader is locked? my bootloader is locked

hello, my phone is still stuck.. i tried other cust/system/recovery/boot from other update.app, but its still stuck at: your device has been unlocked... im on l29

Have NXT-L29, downloaded stock L09 file from posted link, placed UPDATE.APP into 'dload' folder which I created, but still hanging at 5%. What to do?? Exactly where do I create this 'dload' folder? Just at 'Internal Storage'?

Bootloader has to be unlocked. You can unlock best with DC unlocker, it's fast and only costs around 5 dollars.
Unless you already have your unlock code then you can unlock following instructions see my first post

Help. have anybody succeed downgrading from emui5 to 4.1?

i mean .. i tried everything
but.. still i stock on this ugly thing
can anybody help me?
im a NXT-DL00
kinda desperate
It's not as complicated as you might fear, stick with this and we'll get you back to 4.1
You have to be using EMUI 5's stock recovery for this to work, if you don't have it anymore use the Huawei update extractor to pull it and then install it via fastboot.
Then place the update.app file from the 4.1 firmware you want to roll back to into a folder called dload in your internal storage's root directory.
Turn your device off and hold VOL+, VOL- and power at the same time, it should enter dload mode and automatically start updating. when it is done you should be back to 4.1
You'll need to re-unlock your bootloader and reinstall TWRP for 4.1 but that should be it
any questions?

Ok, so you should already have it, unless you installed some form of TWRP since updating to EMUI 5.
If you don't have the stock recovery anymore:
extract the EMUI5 rom zip that you flashed to update to your desktop
download this tool on to your computer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
run it and hit the "..." button, this will open a new window, find the update.app file that you just extracted and select ok.
This will bring up a list of files one will be called recovery, right click it and click extract.
Then in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
let it run and you should have the stock recovery back again

Hello,

Make sure you dont have the usb cable plugged when you try to enter recovery.
Have you tried flash the MM UPDATE.APP again ?

Yes I Trier without USB cable plugged in. What I recognised before the bootloop is: The flash of the rollback Version was successful but the phone was then already stuck in bootloop. So i don't even could install the real Version of MM.
Is there a possibility to install the stock Rom with fastboot? My bootloader is opened and I don't Kind if I lose all my data.

You should be able to put the MM update in dload folder of your sdcard, and use the 3 button method to flash it.
Otherwise use huawei firmware extractor to pull the system.img data.img boot.img from the update.app of the MM, and use fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img . Same thing for boot and data

Thanks for your answers and your help. The first method is not working, if I press all three buttons together, my phone just restarts and the Huawei Boot Sign shows up again.
I'd like to try the second method? But could you tell me, how I can find the system.img, data.img, boot.img files and where I can find the HUAWEI FIRMWARE EXTRACTOR.

Use this tool to extract them from the UPDATE.APP file of the MM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
First extract the RECOVERY.img only and flash it with fastboot. After that test the three button method again (make sure that you have the file from MM (2.0GB) in the dload folder). If it doesnt work, try the thing i said before.

OK, sorry for being such a noob. I now installed the Huawei Extractor. Furthermore I downlaoded stock Rom MM B130. Now there are two ZIP Files (like you can see on the picture). Do I have to extract both of them???
EDIT:
There is no data.img in Huawei Extractor. I have taken a screenshot of the files too (you can see it on the second image).

Before I do the steps you discribed I have two questions.
First: I have to recovery images... RECOVERY.img and RECOVERY2.img. Do I have to flash both of them?
Second: I took a SD Card now and created a folder named dload. In it I put the UPDATE.app file. This has 3 GB, in your post you said it has to be 2 GB. So did I take the right UPDATE file or is it the wrong one?

I now managed to flash BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img and SYSTEM.img. Afterwards it was possible to extract UPDATE.app by pressing VOL up # VOL down # and the other Button (don't know the english word). But the installation of the UPDATE.app stops on 5%. Whats the reason for this?
So I have a guess right now: Before I tried to downgrade my phone I uninstalled SuperSu but I didn't unroot my phone. So my phone could be still rooted. Could this be the problem why the installation is not working?

Upgrading P8 Lite Dual Sim from ALE21 C636B150 EMUI 3.1

Guys I'm really lost trying to upgrade to Android 6 or even 7.
I know I must upgrade to at least EMUI 4.0
I know I am rooted.
I'm unsure if I have unlocked my boot loader.
How do I easily change Country Codes? Do I even need to do it?
I think if someone can assist with these early steps, then I can proceed alone to install new ROMs etc.
C636 is for South East / South Asian regions...
To check whether you've unlocked your bootloader or not, just boot into the fastboot mode... To do that, shut down your device completely then connect your device to your laptop / PC holding the volume down button. Once you enter into fastboot mode, there a Message will be displayed under the Android Logo. You can confirm whether your bootloader is locked or not.
If your only goal is to get Marshmallow, then you can search for firmware and then manually upgrade using the dload method.
First, you download the required firmware (gradually up to Marshmallow), then you extract the update.zip to get UPDATE.APP file (usually 2.3GB+). Then you copy the UPDATE.APP file into a folder named dload. You must then copy this dload folder to the root of Internal Memory and you can update your Android through Updater.
Here's the link to Marshmallow C636B540

Dont try it on other variant otherwise you will fail to install and may loose your IMEI number.
Do it on your own risk. I will not be responsible for any damage to your phone.
I am not a developer so i cant help you much if this update process fails.
PreRequisites :
1. Bootloader Locked/ReLocked (I've not tried on UnLocked bootloaders)
2. Stock Recovery (I've not tried on TWRP). Download stock recovery for BND from here
https://mega.nz/#!nyY1QRpR!gp5k4nqkQUfktrD2B5Qb1OhhAXmO5Mi2aaMPz8CD8Ts
3. SD card (at least 5gb free memory)
Preparations :
1. Backup your data
2. if you are on twrp, just flash Stock recovery via Fastboot or MT
command ' fastboot flash recovery recovery.img '
3. Lock/relock your bootloader ( you may test it on unloacked bootloader)
command ' fastboot oem relock (unlock code) '
4. download this tar. gz file, extract it and Copy 'dload' folder on your SD card, put SD card in your phone
https://mega.nz/#!SuwDUTCJ!iaBnYIbLlMggGId_COuu-xY9pZ2Tec66si5PEcEhovM
This is full Stock Rom not just an OTA update.
5. charge your phone to at least 50%
Steps :

2. press vol.up + vol.down + power keys simultaneously
3. keep keys pressing for few seconds and your phone will boot into automatic update package installer.

That doesn't matter if it works. I'm having unlocked bootloader.
Let me check and confirm whether it works or not on unlocked device.

thanks, do i need to factory reset or just flash this file on top of faceunlock from recovery?
also after this flashing, can we still get OTA updates as normal?
Thank you so much mate. I am back on stock ROM and I did get Oreo ota today just because of you.

[working & tested] unbrick bnd-l24

Many users on this forum have a bricked Honor 7X (BND-L24 variant) and haven't found a working guide to breath life back into their devices. Fortunately, I found a method that appears to have fixed my BND-L24 that was running on oreo. Maybe it will work for you too. Nougat users, feel free to try this method on your devices. Just know that I am not responsible for any damage or anything else should your bricked-phone-situation go from bad to worse.
********REQUIREMENTS********
1. microSD card ---> You need one of those adapter things to access the microSD card on your computer. We're going to be moving files to this little guy.
2. TWRP recovery --> We're going to be flashing a zip so stock recovery won't work here. Don't worry, once we flash the zip, TWRP will be gone
3. HuRUpdater_0.3.zip --> I know there is a HuRUpdater_0.2.zip too but I used HuRUpdater_0.3.zip when I unbricked mine so . . . that's what we're gonna use. You can download it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 Don't forget to thank the developer!
********STEPS********
1. First things first. Download these three files:
update.zip
update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
2. Once downloaded, rename them as listed here. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL
update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip -----> update_all_hw.zip
update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_data_public.zip
DO NOT RENAME update.zip
3. Make a folder on the microSD card. You can name it whatever you would like. For the purposes of this guide, I named mine "Recovery". Move all four of the zips (or archives, whatever you wanna call them) that you downloaded to this new "Recovery" folder. Then eject the microSD card.
4. Insert the microSD card into your paperweight, I mean bricked Honor 7X. Then boot into TWRP.
5. In TWRP, tap on "Install". Then browse to your external SD card and tap on "HuRUpdater_0.3.zip". Swipe to flash it.
6. Once everything finishes installing, tap on "Reboot" then "System" (I have no idea why you would want to install the TWRP app if you don't have TWRP anymore but . . . to every man his own). When the unlocked-bootloader-warning screen pops up, press and hold the volume up button to boot into eRecovery. Perform a factory reset from there.
7. After the factory reset is completed, say hello to your now fully functional device.
Giving this a try right now. Will report back. Thank you so much!
After flashing HuRUpdater_0.3.zip and holding volume up, it just boots back into TWRP?
Edit: Never mind, I'm dumb and didn't press volume down during the flash.
---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------
IT WORKED! Thanks so much!!!!!
One error in your directions though:
update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_full_public.zip
should be
update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_data_public.zip

Any known way to get TWRP first? I don't have it and erecovery seems to not install firmware

Download HWOTA8. After you extract it there is a twrp image in it. There is also a stock recovery image in it incase something goes wrong. There is a thread here on twrp. You will come across a twrp image by sudeep. You can use it too. Although it didn't work perfectly for me. Use adb or multitool to flash them
my phone is bricked... thus the bootloader is locked... i cant flash to it.
Bricked as in display won't turn on?
when i turn it on, it comes up to erecovery, "download latest version and recovery" will connect to wifi but fail to download. Multi-Tool says bootloader is locked as well.

Try to use the service rom.
The erecovery thing does not work, exceptaybe on Chinese version of rom, it seems
Thank you so much! I have tried every other method on this forum over the past few months and wasted countless hours. I could not get ANY other method to work. This worked perfectly the very first time. Thanks!!!
Not sure what you mean by use the service rom... I can't flash the ROM because the bootloader is locked.

The service rom does not need unlocked bootloader.
You do need your unlock code though.
Service rom BND-L21C432
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.
Is there still a way to get the code? I haven't been able to get it
****, I ****ed it up.
Started installing the file without first renaming. TWRP is gone and now I have no way install those files. bootloader is "soft" locked and I'm ****ed...

There is an option to use bnd-l21 service rom. Which will allow you to boot and unlock bootloader again. Then start over with hurupdater.

I got some errors when running the Hur Updater
I'm currently redownloading the files hoping there were download incorrectly the first time or something...
I finally got it working, but I can't install updates. Anyone else have this issue?
I need help
First, I did something and now when it boots it doesn't show the honor logo but it shows the huawei logo and can't progress farther (I swear I didn't try to install another OS)
Second, I can't access twrp but can access fastboot. I have downloaded twrp and was able to access it before I messed up even more to the point that it doesn't show the honor logo
In the fastboot screen, it says PHONE Relocked but when I type in fastboot oem get-info in the terminal of my computer with my honor 7x connected to it and fastboot screen it says (bootloader) unlocked ,so I'm not sure if the bootloader is actually locked or unlocked
So what I'm not sure about is what can I do to access TWRP. I tried installing it again but it didn't work either user error or it's just not possible to
All your help will be very appreciated because I don't have money to get another phone
i really shouldn't have done any of this knowing that I don't have money to get another phone
edit:
I don't think the OEM is unlocked like the thingy from the developer options because I don't see FRP in fastboot screen, just PHONE Relocked
