Huawei P8 GRA-L09 (New Zealand) NO OS - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hi I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place please direct me to where to go if it is.
My problem is I have a Huawei p8 with no os on it what so ever it has twrp and that's it. I have spent hours trying to read and find a working stock or even custom rom for the phone. The only ROM that seems to be able to be flashed is from fromFuture but when I flashed it through twrp it said success and then was still in boot loop. I really don't know what to do please help. Thank you

You need the masrhmallow bootloader for flash from furure ROM .
Forgive my English too, if I understood well the problem is you can not boot your operating system.Download the official rom and extract the boot and system images of the update.app.?*
Huawei update extractor?*http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=2433454.?*Once you have boot.img and recovery.img Download adb minimal and fastboot and universal drivers adb. In the folder where is adb minimal and fastboot copy boot.img and system.img.
Start the adb minimal, connect the USB cable to your computer, press volume down and connect the cable,or volumen down and power, so your phone will enter fastboot mode.
In the Command window of minimal adb type the following:?*
fastboot devices and pressing enter to ensure that recognizes your phone.?*
Fastboot flash boot boot.img and pressing enter.
Fastboot flash system system.img and pressing enter this takes more time.
For end ; fastboot reboot.

Flashed TWRP as boot.img / Now it only goes to recovery HELP ME!!!

Hi people...
Everything was going so smoothly... bootloader unlock... root... some nice root apps... free paid games... and my p8 lite was just feeling so good... until... I flashed twrp with flashify under the name of boot.img... Am I stupid or what?! Now I can only get 2 scenarios... when i turn on the phone it goes directly to twrp. In twrp i get the option to go the bootloader screen... If I choose system it goes back to twrp... I can't get it to start. I downloaded the official tar.gz from emui site but I dont know how can I install it. PLEASE HELP... What should I do in this case?! I miss my baby...
Thanks in advance
You have to restore stock recovery in fastboot mode.

How do I do that?! If I wanted to wipe my phone completely and re-install the OS would be better to do it using twrp or stock recovery?
Thank you very much
Sorry, i misunderstood. If you flashed twrp as boot.img, reflash stock boot in fastboot mode.
flash stock boot.img in fastboot mode
and then flash twrp as recovery
will be like this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot reboot
use the boot.img from stock rom and twrp image you downloaded
Oh no!
Now I made some serious **** to my baby... guess now i'll have to send it to huawei to fix it. I made a full wipe like if it was format c: in computers... everything is gone (i didnt had any personal data) it doesnt have OS even. But when I still had twrp i tried to flash boot.img and recovery.img and now when i start it goes directly to bootloader screen but saying "please update system again" and where it used to say phone unlocked it now says (in red letters):
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
I was able to get to eRecovery with usb connected but when i choose to download e install the new version it gives me the message "wifi starting failed".
It also does not get any instuction with fastboot. but hi suite starts when I connect it. Strange?!
What do you think? Should I send it to huawei? Or is it possible for me to make it work again?
Also tried UPDATE.APP function and all give me fail message.
I'm going crazy!!!! But I love to mess around with android... To me this is the android essence. Fortunately I have a lumia for when my baby doesnt work.loooool
Thank you all
I don't understand why you don't use fastboot. Everybody told you to use it. In our phone situation, without custom kernel or rom, twrp is for experimentation and you cannot mix things.

Well, you warned me... but sometimes i do these kind of *****... So, in this situation you think it's better to send it or is there way to fix this.
By the way, when I enter huawei eRecovery and I get the option to download the firmware through wifi and it says wifi starting failed, is there any way to make this work? And to fastboot do we need to open cmd as administrator to make it work? Because if Hi suite detects the phone I should also be able to fastboot it right?
Thanks for your patience
Just use fastboot aand flash everything

hello I have p8 lite unlocked and rooted, yesterday I wanted to install the TWRP 2.8.7. but I was wrong and I installed twrp for the p8 and not p8 lite.
When I go into recovery mode my phone locks that read huawey, I tried with fastboot command to delete the wrong recovery and install the right of the p8 lite but the result does not change, my phone locks that read huawey
i think The commands that you wrote and that I have quoted are also fine for my case, it's' true?

Hi everyone!!
First of all, thanks to everybody who helped me with this situation.
I now am using my baby again as if it was new. I wiped him completely as i stated before and it was as easy as finding the right firmware (136a) and using the vol down + vol up + power button technique. I put the UPDATE.APP file inside a folder named dload in sdcard using other phone (with my p8 was impossible). After that rebooted the device, pressed those 3 buttons and the instalation started successfully.
I just cant explain how happy i was. I stayed 3 days without it.
After that I have been messing with fastboot so thanks to everyone who made me realize that i didnt need to do all of this, but well, A full wipe is always welcome.
Is there any custom kernel on the way for overclock my baby?
Please explain to me how do I put SOLVED in this thread as my problem is already solved...
Thanks

Yeah finally my phone is working now thanks to you I searched many treads and forums but i cant find a solution. But finally i got an easy solution Thank you again bro.. Good Luck !!!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Just download your firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract boot.img,cust.img,recovery.img and system.img
After that,download mininal adb fastboot copy you files into fastboot folder , enter fastboot mode on your phone and from fastboot folder,open cmd and type these commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
After this your phone will boot normally. Once you've done this, copy update.app to your sdcard or internal and install it by local update. Once you've done all this,your phone is fine.
May I know how do you wipe your internal storage? and what if after wiping, im unable to get into recovery mode? does it mean phone is not usable anymore?
SOLUTION
Hello. I'm the bigest mess on androids but i know that flashing stock recovery can remove any TWRP/CWR. If its too powerfull flash stock boot and run fastboot -w.(fastboot -w erases all PERSONAL data)

Problem after root attempt

Hello,
I tried to root my P8 Lite, which is something I've already done on a lot of other smartphones. So I first unlocked my bootloader, then I tried to follow a guide to root it. Everything was going smooth, but when I hit enter for the last time into the command line (at this point of the process, it just installed superSU) my phone rebootd and stucked on the huawei logo. After 20mn I decided it was enough, I unplugged it and hard rebooted it, but still stuck on huawei logo.
Since this, I wasn't able to reboot my phone, nor enter the fastboot/rescue mode. Now I tried on more time to enter the fastboot, and I don't know why but after a few time it showd up !
So basically my phone is now on fastboot mode, unlocked, and I come here to seek answers about the method to flash it and start again with a fresh android. I don't even know where to find the correct rom to flash, nor how to flash, if for instance I should use adb, etc.
If someone here is able to help me, that would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I manually updated the phone to android 6 and EMUI 4.
Thank you a lot for enlightments.
Hello! Since you are in fastboot mode you can easily fix the issue. Just download a stock rom you wanna flash and use (you can try the new B588) and with the Huawei Update Extractor, extract the boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img, system.img from the UPDATE.APP file. Then flash these in the order i wrote them (using the fastboot command for example:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
, same thing for all of these just change the file names). That is how i fixed my last 2-3 bootloops. I would suggest looking here first though: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994 on Chapter 4. Hope this helps and good luck
Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
Problem is now, my phone ran out of bttery so not in fastboot mode anymore and I just can't figure out how to go back in fastboot anymore.
I tried to power on the phone while pressing vol up, wait for the huawei logo and wait for ten more seconds, nothing except a black screen. I tried vol down, both vol up and down, still nothing. Thing is, yesterday I don't even know how I managed to enter fastboot, I just tried, didn't work, so I put my phone on the bed, and ten minuts later I realized it was on fastboot mode. Informatics huh.
If you have any idea on how to go back in fastboot mode, I tried using adb, but it needs the phone to reach systm to be able to reboot.
By the way you talked about a specific rom, where can I find this one ?
Thank you again for your time.
EDIT : Ok I managed to reach fastboot, what I did was to plug it on my laptop, powered off, then pressed vol down and power on, and it worked. Informatics has its reasons...
Still interested into the rom ou talked. I'll try to find it on my own though. But if you got a link, I would be happy to download it.
EDIT2 : Ok I tried to flash, everything went good, but my huawei is still in its bootloop. I extracted the B588 rom, but there was way more than 4 img files. I still flashed only the four you and the link you gave me told me, but maybe I need to flash more than these 4 ?
Try this https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994 <-- follow the " Bootloop/Softbrick" method if you cannot install the latest firmware directly. You may need to flash original recovery first too. Any recovery version will do they are all the same, find the how too under the "install TWRP" section, but basically it goes "enter fastboot, type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" while you have recovery.img in the same directory.
[edit]
Also, if you are on MM you should not be using a batch file to root. Once you have TWRP installed, you need to flash 2 zips via TWRP. They can also be found in the mega thread.

Single stable SuperSu v2.76 also works for builds less than b580.. For builds greater than that, use 2 zips method
Well, it obviously didn't

Do you have a dload folder with update.app inside, in sd card?
With that and pressing vol +, vol - and power at same time you enter in flash mode and start to flash the rom

Hi Have got succeeded or not, if not follow the guide.
Is your phone being detected by PC if yes then you have chances of recovering your phone.
1. Download 15 Seconds ADB and Fastboot Drivers. Visit the official XDA forum for download and installation instructions.
2. Install Huawei HiSuite which will install drivers .
3. If HiSuite doesn't install Install drivers then install universal drivers for your device .
Now connect your device to pc and open HiSuite and click on system recovery it will show options for recovery if it is success then you are fine if not then proceed to this method.
Connect your phone to PC.
Open Command Prompt in the directory where you have extracted the ADB files by holding Shift and Right Mouse Button and finally click Open Command Prompt window here in the context menu.
Completely power off your device.
While holding Volume Down button, connect your device to PC via USB cable to boot to Fastboot Mode.
1. Type the following command in ADB :
Code:
adb devices
If your device is being detected and it shows list of devices attached and its serial number.
2.Now download the firmware of the phone before your phone got bootlooped extract the update using the file here
3.Now copy the following files ( boot.img, recovery.img and system.img ,cust.img ) from the extracted files to the ADB files directory.
4.Now Execute these commands one at a time using the command prompt.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
5.Now Perform a Factory Reset if your phone got recovered.
If not then download the stock recovery of your Device and try steps 2,3,4.
Even if it doesn't get succeeded then try this option .
If your device got bootlooped while on Lollipop or Marshmallow then you have one more way to recover .
6.Now download the latest TWRP from here and boot into TWRP recovery if you cant enter TWRP recovery for this version then try the previous TWRP versions like 2.8.7 ,
7.Use the following command to flash the TWRP recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
8.Then download any of the custom ROMs or ask any of the XDA members for TWRP backup for your device and flash them through Recovery.
Then Reboot your Device.
You would most probably recover your device from any of the above methods . I too had the same problem and My device was use less for almost 6 months but after several trial and error methods my device got recovered.

Did you try flashing different variant ROM ie different builds?
Actually I too got the same problem bootlooped on LP but cant flash the LP ROM back so I flashed different Region ROM.
Give a try to TWRP Method It should give you success.
Imp:
Try the previous ROM where you got Bootloop, or the version earlier to it.If it doesn't succeed try the rom which you got initially on your mobile.
PS: If your phone is being detected by your PC you have good chances of recovering your phone.

Is there a system.img for BTV-W09 (stuck on No OS)

Hello XDA Forum,
I was trying to update my US M3 BTV-W09 to the latest version and rooted and got stuck trying to get the stock image (UPDATE.APP) to load and wiped the device. Now all I can get to is the bootloader & TWRP recovery. Can someone provide a system.img I can flash via TWRP or let me know how I can flash stock back to the device?
Right now, when I put the C100B006 EMUI4.1+Android 6 UPDATE.APP on my sdcard in dload folder, nothing happens past booting to unlocked warning, so the forcible rollback update isn't working for me. Guess what I'm looking for is a base image to flash all the things and start from scratch...
Any help greatly appreciated!
Is there a way to get back the recovery that will allow me to do dload recovery?
Yes. Use huawei firmware finder, download the rom you want (be aware to choose the actual rom you want to use), unzip the update.app; after that - with HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5 - extract recovery.img from that. The next step is turn off tablet, hold volume down, and after that plug it to your pc. After that type in command prompt (be fastboot.exe and recovery.img in the same folder):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
I hope, I helped.
Thx for the comment, but the tablet still doesn't boot into erecovery or forcible recovery/update

No OS, Relocked and now bootloop!!!

i recently tried to downgrade my Mediapad M3 (btv-w09), but somehow screwed up...
1. rebooted in twrp and formatted system, data, cache, internal
2. i downgraded to emui 4 dload method it worked and i booted to fastmode and installed wrong twrp
3. stupidly i also relocked the bootloader
4. finnaly im stucked in a bootloop and cant enter recovery, erecovery or fastboot and not even dlload
i get 2 bootloop screens
one where you have the 3 options and one where it just saying device will boot...
maybe anyone knows how to unbrick!?
thx
yes.... you need same tools...
solved my problem
my problem was that i wanted to try the dload method, so i drained the battery but after that i could not recharge it because the tablet first boot then starts to charge and for the dload you need at least 10% .....
the solution (should work for all Huawei devices) :
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. If you have enough battery but cant boot to fastboot by pressing volume down + power button
- press volume down and plug the charging cable (which should be connected to your pc, not charger!!!)
2.If you have dont enough battery
- press volume up and plug the charging cable (which should be connected with the pc)....this will prevent a boot and let you charge your device, to try the dload method
to enter dload :
--------------------
1. from your tablet type ()()2846579()() in your calculator (landscape mode)
2. turned off tablet (bricked): volume up + volume down + power button
Some Links for those who wants to downgrade their M3 to EMUI4:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rollback files can be found here:
https://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/tablets/mediapad-m3-8/
- TWRP
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=125388
be carefull for EMUI4 only download twrp_BTV-W09_greatslon or twrp_BTV-DL09_greatslon.img (twrp_BTV-DL09_5_greatslon.img & twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img are just for EMUI5 )
- Root
Magisk : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
SuperSU for EMUI4 : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754458671
PS: EMUI4 is 1000x better then EMUI5 for the M3
Great post. Wish it had appeared much earlier.
I screwed up and tried to use the downgrade-to-Marshmallow packages whilst already in Marshmallow, thus soft-bricking the M3.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/help/m3-apsabnormal-bricked-t3779100
“Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button” method no longer works. The machine no longer boots into Android.
Are the partitions and e-recovery damaged and there is no way to flash the M3 now?
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks.

I screwed up and tried to use the downgrade-to-Marshmallow packages whilst already in Marshmallow, thus soft-bricking the M3.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/help/m3-apsabnormal-bricked-t3779100
“Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button” method no longer works. The machine no longer boots into Android.
Are the partitions and e-recovery damaged and there is no way to flash the M3 now?
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks.

No dont think that your devices is bricked, had the same problem and it worked out for me !!!
if you can boot into fastboot :
------------------------------------------
1. download rollback files & extract the dload on your desktop
2. download Huawei Update Extractor [UPDATED: v0.9.9.5]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
3. watch the how to use video

4. extract thise .img files
- BOOT.img
- CUST.img
- RECOVERY.img
- RECOVERY2.img
- SYSTEM.img
5. flash those files zsing this commands
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash recovery2 RECOVERY2.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot reboot
if you can't boot into fastboot :
-----------------------------------------------
- press volume up and plug the charging cable (which should be connected to a pc)....this will prevent a boot and let you charge your device and wait till your tablet charges and it will boot into erecovery then try online download or the dload method
good luck

Many thanks for your encouraging reply.
However, I am not sure I can flash
*****5. flash those files zsing this commands
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash recovery2 RECOVERY2.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot reboot*****
because my M3 has a locked bootloader (the bootloader has never been unlocked), did not have USB debugging selected, has never been rooted, and no TWRP installed.
Anyway, if I can get into fastboot mode, I'll give method (1) a try. Should I connect the M3 to a PC and use ADB to flash?
Thanks again.

PS: EMUI4 is 1000x better then EMUI5 for the M3

In what ways is EMUI 4 better for the M3, if I may ask? Thanks.

Sam10000 - wondering if this resolved your problem? I'm in the same boat, although it looks like the rollback files are no longer available for download.
Sorry wrong forum. I already edited message and post it other place. Please remove this.
