Hello everyone! This is my first post here, so i'm not completely sure if im posting this in the right place, if not then if possible, the moderators could move the topic to the correct location or inform me?
Anyway, yesterday i accidentally deleted my Honor 7's (PLK-01) OS, and i looked around google for at least 4 hours trying to figure out how to get my OS back, and all i found was other people asking for help, and the android pro's getting angry at them, so i decided to make this post to help out the people who don't know much about android phones and all this stuff :angel:
So basically, i'll be showing you how to get your OS back, and i'll try to be as detailed as possible, this should take up to around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your download speed.
What you will need:
Honor Multi Tool by inside!out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/honor-7-multi-tool-t3281176
Huawei Update Extractor by worstenbrood : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
PC
Stock ROM for your phone (i got mine from Needrom.com http://www.needrom.com/category/huawei/honor-7/)
Huawei Drivers (can be installed via Honor Multi Tool)
STEP 1
Download Honor Multi Tool, create a new folder on your Desktop called Honor Multi Tool and extract both the tool and the ''Files'' folder, to the new folder.
STEP 2
Download Huawei Update Extractor and extract it onto your Desktop, or whatever location you wish
STEP 3
Download your stock ROM
STEP 4
Once your stock ROM is downloaded, extract UPDATE.APP onto your Desktop or whatever location you wish
STEP 5
Open Huawei Update Extractor, at the top you shall see a drop down menu, from this menu select your device or Unknown, Honor 7 currently is not in this list so just select Unknown
STEP 6
Under update file, you'll want to click ''...'' and select your UPDATE.APP file that you extracted from the Stock ROM which you downloaded in step 2
STEP 7
Once you have selected your UPDATE.APP, you'll see a list of files, you'll want to select the following files > BOOT.img, CUST.img, RECOVERY.img & System.img. You can select multiple files by holding CTRL and clicking on the files i named.
STEP 8
Right click on one of the selected files and select ''Extract Selected'', browse to Honor Multi Tool, open the ''Files'' folder and extract them into ''Unbrick'' folder
STEP 9
Now open the Honor Multi Tool, you should have a CMD box pop up with text saying ''UPDATING'', wait for a while, if nothing happens then close the tool and open it again.
STEP 10
Once it's updated, you should see a few options with numbers/letters as their selection, you'll want to press U and then enter, for Unbrick.
STEP 11
Now you should see green text, telling you to extract the IMG files into the ''Unbrick'' folder, which we already did in step 7 & 8, You'll want to press 2 and then Enter,
STEP 12
Next you'll have to boot your Honor 7 into Fastboot mode, which can be done by Powering off your device, Plug your USB into your PC, and when you insert the USB into your phone, you'll want to hold the Volume Down button, until your phone goes into Fastboot mode (Should be a white screen with some text, and the green Droid in the middle)
STEP 13
Once your device is in Fastboot mode, press space in the Honor Multi Tool and it shall start flashing the files onto your device. This will take around 5-15 minutes.
STEP 14
Once it's done flashing, you'll have the option to reboot your device, reboot your device and it should now boot normally and you'll be greeted with the Emui set up, as if you just bought the phone.
AND YOU'RE DONE
if i missed any step, i'm very sorry, but once you've gotten past extracting the IMG files, and move onto Honor Multi Tool, you should be able to figure out everything yourself as it's really not that hard, there's instructions in the Tool.
If after these steps your phone still doesn't boot, don't give up and try downloading a different ROM, on my first try i didn't get my phone to boot, but then i downloaded a ROM from needrom.com, flashed that and it worked perfectly.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, and if you have any questions, feel free to post them below
The people here at XDA go out of their way to help you with these kind of problems.
Never had a problem of someone yelling at me (albeit virtually)
But some people get annoyed if you are the hundreds person to ask and point you to the answer, buried in a 100-page long thread, that you didn't find while searching.
And this is a well written guide and it's nicely monothematic. So this is a very valid post and if you ask me, it should be stickied.

I agree with you on the sticky part and really appreciate the effort here.
Just saying nobody yelled at me till now.
Well, TBH I never yelled on anyone, and has helped with providing this detailed guide, you can take some points from it and put up on OP.
And the method which I'm showing here is manual, so it's up to you to include it or not.
STEPS:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
I need some help, i did all the things that u said in correct order and now my honor 7 is turning on, showing start screen "Honor powered by android" and shutting down, and again starting, no way to stop it so it is doing that as long as it has power in battery.

Look at the solutions for bootloop
Wysłane z mojego PLK-L01 przy użyciu Tapatalka
to be honest, once you have android and have few soft bricks/bootloops (aka deted rom) you'll learn how to fix them pretty fast every device is pretty much same, just different tools to flash stock.

If you've still got this problem. Try flashing twrp through fastboot and do a factory reset with it.
I follow every single step but my phone only boot up to rescue mode with error fucn no:11(recovery image) & error no:2(load failed). Any ideas what went wrong or my phone is totally brick lol?

THIS WILL BE USING THE CM 7.1 ROM. IT WORKS WITH OTHER ROMS TOO. JUST FOLLOW SAME PROCEDURE WITH YOUR ROM.
INTRODUCTION AND WARNINGS:
If you have an Evo 4g updated to android 2.3.5 with hboot 2.18.0001 and your wifi always randomly disconnects this guide is for you! The reason the server disconnects is because your router could be incompatible with your HTC phone. If it's just because of some wifi problems and some easy fixes could be made, I would go with that. But for those who have the same problem, not only will you get a cool Cyanogenmod 7.1 look... you'll be able to play PL with wifi.
I'll try to make it as easy to understand as possible... as I'm not good with this stuff either and it took time to understand the guides. Actually I used several guides but I'll kind of combine them.
This guide is for flashing Cyanogenmod 7.1 and what to do before. I am not responsible if there are any problems with your device. Use this guide at your own risk, although there's 99.99999% chance everything will go right if you follow the guide.
PART ONE:
First you'll want to install this file, you need winrar. Just unzip onto desktop so it's easier. You won't actually be using the tool but the root folder. Read the xda first post first though... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...75&postcount=1
Here's link to download if you've read the post:
http://goo-inside.me/apps/frigid/
Then you'll want to go to www.htcdev.com.
You'll have to register there and use a real email address.
After you register login and click unlock boot loader. Where there's a scroll-down, choose "all other supported models"
Then click get started, the site will guide you through the next steps. Remember, this could void your warranty, I'm pretty sure there is a way to undo this all but remember do this at your own risk.
Tips: If you can't navigate to the right place remember to type "cd [insert name of root folder]"
To get the address, just go to root folder and click copy address at the top. (Right click on where it shows what folder you're in)
After you have successfully unlocked your boot loader you are ready for part 2.
PART TWO:
Enter fast boot on your phone again.
If you closed your command prompt, (which is fine) open it again.
Download this file and save it:
http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...ECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
The file should appear in downloads.
Move the file into your folder titled root.
If the file is not named recovery rename it to that.
In your command prompt go the the root folder address like you did in part one.
Once you've successfully entered the "root" folder, type this in and hit enter:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(Remember your phone should be connected to your computer with usb debugging on, with disk drive on, and it should be in fast boot)
Once the prompt finishes the command, go back to main boot loader screen. Then use the volume keys to go down to select recovery.
Press the power button to select recovery.
Once the recovery boots on your phone, select use the volume keys to select/highlight USB MS then press the power button.
Take this zip (don't unzip it) and place it into your sd card (just the root, not in any folders).
Zip: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/...nic-signed.zip
Press the power button to exit USB MS.
Now go back to main screen of recovery.
Highlight/select the choice flash zip from sd card and press the power button.
Select/highlight the zip you put in your sd card and press the power button to flash.
Press the power button again to confirm.
Once it's done flashing reboot your phone.
If your phone goes into boot loop (keeps rebooting at cyanogen logo thing) then go to your recovery again and select wipe and select wipe all data/factory reset.
OPTIONAL PART 2.5:
If you're looking for Google apps you might want to flash this too, same thing with the Cyanogen ROM, flash it same way.

This working for everyone?
Do people actually read this? Did I post in wrong section?
Guide updated v1.1
Fixed link to Amon Ra Recovery. Last link worked but file was deleted.
Hey man, I have no need for the guide , but much thanks, sincerely. Thanks
sent from AOKP heaven
Ok... I guess...
so does using that htc super tool folder instead of android sdx not wipe everything while unlocking? Or does it still do a factory reset when you unlock?
Trying to figure out what I'm missing here. I have step one all finished. On step two I'm doing the part that says:
"Once you've successfully entered the "root" folder, type this in and hit enter:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
I have the USB Debugging on and Disk Drive on, and the phone in Fast Boot. When I type the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and hit enter it says Waiting for device. Should it say waiting in the command prompt area? Even with that saying waiting, if I use volume down and pick recovery, the screen shows the green circle and downloading logo, then I get the red exclamation screen. What's messing things up? I have the instructions followed exactly up to this point.

Tried doing that and it goes right to the red exclamation screen instead of the green first. The instruction say to have it in disk drive, so not sure what to do.

when i did it to my phone i had it in charge only
This is my first time trying to do anything to my phone. What exactly does the recovery step I'm doing do? It is saving all my personal data on the phone? I could care less if the phone gets wiped. I have all my contacts in Gmail and re-installing apps take like 5 minutes, so wondering if I could just skip it?
This rooting thing is getting more and more confusing. I'm pretty good computer wise, but reading on this site to try and root this phone, I find topics which are like 100+pages long, and the topic I find link to other topics and it keeps going on and on, and not sure what to do after a while. This topic has gotten me closer to finally doing it then any other. Hopefully I can get it to work fully.
Tried disk drive on and off a couple times and still getting stuck on the red exclamation.

Recovery just puts a base place where you can flash roms and stuff.
And if you get a bootloop on CM7.1 yes you will have to wipe all.
As for the recovery flash problem, try putting it on charge only and usb debugging. Then power off phone or just take out battery and reboot into bootloader. Go into fastboot again and try to flash recovery on again. Then try it.
Did you rename the recovery img to recovery? Or if it's not saved as recovery.img rename it to that.
I have it named recovery like it's supposed to be. Still get the green screen then the red exclamation mark.
What should happen when you first go into the fast boot? The reason I ask that is, when it first goes into the fast boot screen it takes a second or so to do it's thing. I see some text going on the screen real quick, and from what I can read of the text I see something about no image and can't read much else, then it is ready to use the volume up and down to make selections. Is that normal, the text part and all about no image? My phone works fine, just can get the steps in this tutorial to work.

When you go to the bootloader it scans for a PC36IMG.zip file. Normally if you were s-off that's how you would flash a recovery. Since your s-on unlocked the only thing that can be flashed in PC36IMG.zip format is a file signed by HTC like a RUU
Sent from my swiper using XDA App
I got a chance to see some of the names of the missing files it lists when going into boot load. The PC36IMG.zip is one of them that says no image. So guessing that file isn't even there at all. I searched for a PC36IMG.zip file and put it in there and got more then I have seeme before on that screen. I had a blue progress meter on the right side. When it got done it said something about being too old and unsuccessful.
Also, I tried starting all over, even going into the htcdev site again. When I did that all the step worked, but when it's supposed to get to the screen where it tells you it will wipe your phone, that screen never comes up. Now I'm wondering if I can just start all the way over. Can I go into my phone and of I select factory reset, will it make the phone a totally stock phone again and change anything I might have changed? Not that I'm sure I have even changed anything at all to this point.
Removed the batter over and over till I could see the message that comes up very quickly when fast book first starts up. It reads:
Loading...[PC36DIAG.ZIP]
No Image!!!
Loading...[PC36DIAG.NBH]
No Image!!! or Wrong Image!!!
Loading...[PC36IMG.ZIP]
No Image!!!
Loading...[PC36IMG.NBH]
No Image!!! or Wrong Image!!!
Know where I go from here to correct things?

it shouldnt find a PC36IMG.zip file or the other. Only files in that can be flashed in that format is radios hboots splash screen RUUs recoveries. You shouldnt go around just flashing random things in the bootloader you can end up bricking your phone
hi guys,there are so much confusion on OTA updates over rooted device
and yes i screwed my device by removing bloatwares and end up in bootloop,so here what i did to recover and update the OTA..
if u didnt remove bloatware or didnt edit the system apps[freezing is no problem] then you can just unroot using supersu and reboot once,click update but if u removed bloatware or ended up in bootloop,follow below steps
I'm not responsible for bricked phone,try on your own risk
Credit goes to: @ mhp1995 for his all in one thread and clear instructions, @shakalaca , @keepfishes,i didnt do anything ,i just made their links,guide at one place..
First things first: (get this straight, don't download the wrong firmware and flash the wrong thing)
ZE550ML = Z008
ZE551ML[2gb,4gb ram] = Z00A
What this guide giving steps for:[just more like summary]
Files Needed and Required before Steps: - Just basic drivers to activate adb,fastboot
Steps To recover from Bootloop: - flashing system,kernel,recovery,droid boot to fix the phone[flashing system alone is mostly enough]
Steps to Apply OTA manually: - getting ota zip and put it in sd by renaming then goto recovery,flash
Files Needed and Required before Steps:
Drivers for Asus Zenfone 2 installed on PC from here [mostly it will auto installed]
ADB installed on your PC (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itVVFWRC02Q0VBQnc/view?usp=sharing)
Flashtools[http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3301263&d=1431011927]
WinRar
Steps To recover from Bootloop:
three methods are there,using preroot img, using adb sideload and using stock.zip given by asus[if u think flashing,adb sideload is hard,use stock.zip method]
Pre Root Stock using flashtools:
Pre-rooted system.img and recovery (https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw) (Download the correct firmware according to your phone ZE550ML = Z008 , ZE551ML = Z00A )
Download and run WinRAR . Click on the '.zip' part of the system.img file. You will see that WinRAR puts all the parts together and offers you an option to extract the one big system.img. Go ahead and extract it to the folder the other parts of the ROM are in.
will be look like THIS pic or see attachment ..
Unzip the FlashTools.zip and copy the following 4 downloaded files and paste it into extracted flashtools folder:
boot.img (~ 11MB)
droidboot.img (~ 13MB)
recovery.img (~ 11MB)
system.img (~ 2GB)
Disconnect your phone from PC/Laptop.. Power it off. Once it is off, hold down the volume up button and hold on to the power button until the phone vibrates. After the vibration stops, release the power button and continue pressing the volume up button until the green Android robot appears. You should see a blue line below saying "Waiting Fastboot command or Continue the fastboot process"
Now connect your phone via USB to your computer.
At the flashtools folder press Shift + Right Click.. Then select "Open command here"...
Copy and paste the following commands in the command prompt window (line by line) and press enter after each line. WAIT for the process to complete before copying and pasting the next line:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
The flashing of system.img will take huge time to show any text after max size info,after some more time it will show finished ,then you can plug out the USB and press the power button, reboot your phone and when it starts up, your phone is ROOTED.
Now open Supersu[it will ask for su binary update,click NO],and click unroot from options of supersu,reboot once
Now u have stock without any modification,you can apply OTA manually for sure..not sure on FOTA about bootloop..
Using ADB sideload:
go here for ZE551ML[for 2g and all 4gb versions] ,go here for ZE550ML
choose Android in OS,then click firmware,in that get latest the zip of ww[ww-world,TW-taiwan,JP-japan,CN-China]
create a folder called adb in any drive in your pc/lap,put the zip you download there and rename the zip as "file"
Disconnect your phone from PC/Laptop.. Power it off. Once it is off, hold down the volume up button and hold on to the power button until the phone vibrates. After the vibration stops, release the power button and continue pressing the volume up button until the green Android robot appears. You should see a blue line below saying "Waiting Fastboot command or Continue the fastboot process"
Now connect your phone via USB to your computer.
At the adb folder press Shift + Right Click.. Then select "Open command here"...
Copy and paste the following command in the command prompt window
Code:
adb sideload file.zip
Wait until the process is complete ,then rebooot ,thats all
Using Stock.zip from ASUS site:
go here for ZE551ML[for 2g and all 4gb versions] ,go here for ZE550ML
choose Android in OS,then click firmware,in that get latest the zip of ww[ww-world,TW-taiwan,JP-japan,CN-China]
now rename the zip which you download to "MOFD_SDUPDATE" zip and paste it in external SDCARD[external not internal]
now power off, Once it is off, hold down the volume up button and hold on to the power button until the phone vibrates. After the vibration stops, release the power button and continue pressing the volume up button until the green Android robot appears. You should see a blue line below saying "Waiting Fastboot command" ,Now here click vol down till you see Recovery mode in top big rectangle box,now click power button,and thats all it will restore your phone..
Steps to Apply OTA manually:
[Note: please confirm that you didnt modified or removed any system apps,files]
Download the OTA file from here, check under ota update heading [get the latest one ,check the version number]
rename the OTA zip which you download to "MOFD_SDUPDATE" zip[verify with this PIC], paste the renamed zip in external memory[not in internal, tried to place in internal but it didnt work]
now power off, Once it is off, hold down the volume up button and hold on to the power button until the phone vibrates. After the vibration stops, release the power button and continue pressing the volume up button until the green Android robot appears. You should see a blue line below saying "Waiting Fastboot command" ,Now here click vol down till you see Recovery mode in top big rectangle box,now click power button,and thats all it will update your phone..
hope this helps you
Thank you sooooo much.
Not a single hitch .... one shot update!
I uninstalled xposed, unrooted and still got the dead android with the error message.
So this is what I did, since I had the official unrooted firmware from the Asus site in my sdcard (renamed of course) I went to recovery and automatically install the firmware, it let me kept my set up the way I had it, then I look for the update. All this from my phone.
Then connect to the computer and root and installed xposed.
one can still install the update file while rooted.
this will work as long as no files present in both existing system and patch have been modified.
pasting method from @mhp1995's thread.
Method:
1. Turn off your Zenfone 2
2. Go to recovery mode
3. Select apply update from ADB
4. Connect your zenfone 2 with USB cable to your PC/laptop
5. Open command prompt in Windows (in the same folder where ADB is located)
6. Check connection by typing adb devices in the command prompt.. If connection successful there will be a list of Zenfone 2 device.
7. Type
Code:
adb sideload file.zip (where file.zip is the file name of the Asus firmware)
8. Wait until the process is complete
9. Wipe Cache, Reboot.
Hi thanks for the time to write the guide but im stuck on step 6.
The folder i have contains
Adb
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbwinusbApi.dll
Enter_bootloader
Fastboot
If i right click it on my laptop the command box opens and when i typed in the 1st line of text and hit enter it said file size was too big along those lines.
Sorry to mess up
Where am i going wrong.
If not il paypal £5 to a video maker so i can watch the steps..... Its the least i can do.
Thanks

Have u installed adb and the drivers?? If yes then copy the OTA (zip file or system.img, recovery.img, droidboot.img, boot.img) in the flashtools folder then press Shift + Right Click.. Then select "Open command here"...Then follow the guide as it is... If u don't have system.img, recovery.img, droidboot.img, boot.img just put the OTA (zip file) in the flashtools folder or adb folder.... Reboot ur phone to bootloader mode and type the following command in the adb:
Code:
adb sideload file.zip (where file.zip is the file name of the Asus firmware)
and wait for the process to complete...
Hope this helps..If u still face some prob just PM me i will walk u thru step by step
Thank you for the reply. Everything as far as i am aware is installed on my laptop.
I found the commands thing clicked it entered the 1st line and got file size too big . all the files are in 1 window so i cant see where. Im going wrong. 1st time i ever roted a phone and had no problems then 1 update later its dead lol.
Seriously. If someone makes a vid from scratch or wants to facetime me to get it sorted il pay uk £15 as im pulling my hair out now
Thanks. Again all

did u copy pasted all 4 codes at a time?? or did u pasted just 1 line?
Hahahahahahaha i have done it. Dont know how and i dont care lol.
Right i did have 1 last problem on the last step tho. I dragged the zip file across after renaming it to what was listed and entered recovery it loaded for a second then went into error picture.
Restarted the phone and now it seems to be ok but dont get why i got the error robot ??
I chose the top number firmware on that list but im now think i may have tried the wrong 1 but right type for my phone.
Il try that step again but im so so chuffed !!!!!
You guys are bloody awesome !!!!!!!!!!
Big big big thanks to you all who tried helping ...... I truly appreciated it.

Got to say it again: thank you ansebovi very much for pulling together this guide. It's very clear and worked superbly for me.
I'd rooted and deleted some system apps and was tearing my hair out trying to get the update.
Then you took the time and trouble to post this guide and saved the day, not only for me, but I'm sure many others who found themselves in the same situation.
Thank you!

well i just linked 2 threads they are the ones who helped us really [i am same as u] but thanks for appreciation ..
found i had the right file but still wont install.

i dont have to tell it to boot via zip like when u do install su etc. ??
i corrected the name and placed the unopend zip into main storage and one into the sd card slot
thats its right ? but i still get the error robot when trying that method.
phone starts ok after that .
thanks
Hello everyone!
I'm writing you about the last OTA update !!
First of all.. i have a "pre-root" (not the first method.. but the SECOND ONE.. the easiest before 1x click root) , just deactivated root permissions on SuperSu and restarted the phone.
After that, just checked that haven't root permissions and started to download updates ! When all was ready, just pressed confirmation for restart the phone and install it.
What's happened.. ?? "Android's icon with the "error" message !! Just pressed "power botton" for some second and restarted my Zenfone 2. For my lucky, haven't bootloop and all returned at normality (just a message that said "Update Failed" !!
Now when i try to search new updates, nothing happened.. what i need to do? T_T

Did you uninstall any Asus apps after you rooted? You know, ones that you can't uninstall unrooted. That's what I did and I think that's what made the update fail with me. If you're in the same boat, follow the instructions at the top of this thread.....it works!

Ok! so so far I have made an error and decided to update my phone via OTA and it updated through TWRP. If anyone else were to do this then your phone will mostly likely either
A) Not boot
or
B) Boot, but nothing works
This could also be used as a recovery guide if your phone doesn't allow you to get into twrp
So, Here is a guide on how to fix this problem:
1.)go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684
and choose the file that is right for your phone model
(website could be different in the future depending on which version you want and which phone you have.)
2.)Now you need a micro sd card of 4gb or more,make a file called dload into the directory of the sd card and put the update.app into that folder.
3.) now pop your sd card back into your phone and hold down both volume rockers and the power button, Volume up + Volume down + power button, and once you feel a vibration let go of the power button and keep holding the volume rockers.
4.) Now you screen should go from the blue honor logo to a EMUI update and it should say *Don't unplug from USB or click any button* it should automatically start the upgrade/restore of the phone. Should take around 4-5mins
5.) Enjoy!
Notes: it will reboot twice, and it will take awhile to boot back up just like the first time that you got the phone.
Thanks to deadman96385 for the files/ all the work he has done for us
and Earlymon for giving me the website link and how to do it
me further writes that software install failed
Me too
do you have a copy of the last official updated kernal? i need to go back to stock....

In case versions other B321 will help you as well, they can be found in the Honor 5X repo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
There’s a B130 and a B310 for the L21C185.
B321 might exist as OTA only, but you can get the update.zip (KIW-L21C185B321CUSTC185D001) here:

can i convert my firmware Kiw l21c185b130 to kiw l21c185b321 because my phone was dead i took it to the market and they turn my dead kiw l21c185b321 to kiw l21c185b130 because they get no info of my phone and did this.
I followed this guide in order to root my brand new p8lite.
The thing is that now I have a black screen. If I plug my phone via usb, adb shows me that the device is in recovery.
By adb shows me that the device is in recovery I mean this:
Code:
# adb devices
List of devices attached
W3D7N16712000718 recovery
What I did:
Checked the model. It's an ALE-L21
Chapter 1: not a windows user, but managed to get adb up and running on my linux machine.
Chapter 2: everything went fine, bootloader unlocked
Chapter 3: my phone booted up just fine
Chapter 4: skipped it, as my phone was booting fine into system
Chapter 5:
So you want to convert to a single/dual sim?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My answer: "no thanks", so I skipped it
Chapter 6: I did the upgrade through OTA BEFORE reading the guide. Double checked I was running 6.0, so I skipped it
Chapter 7: Downloaded the file, flashed trought fastboot. And now I'm here.
I think I may have ****ed up things in the last 3 chapters.
What I tried to fix this:
Code:
# adb reboot bootloader
phone rebooted then huawei logo then blackscreen. adb still shows it's in recovery
After searching in the forum, I came by
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
(notice the hypen). Firing that command put my phone into fastboot. Couldn't believe it, but I took the chance to flash the files found in chapter 4 (bootloader, recovery, cust and system, in this order). No luck, still reboot, logo, black screen
Now, no matter the presence of the hypen in the command, my phone keeps going into recovery (after the usual reboot, logo, black screen)
Tried to hold down POWER to shut it down. After a while it reboots, logo and black screen again. Laptop keeps saying device is into recovery
Tried to download the official 6.0 update, put on a sd card (dload/UPDATE.APP), held down POWER+VOLUP+VOLDOWN. Again, reboot, logo, black screen. recovery mode, again.
Frustrated, I unplugged the phone. After a while, it rebooted, logo and blackscreen without me touching it. Weird. It did it again a couple of times, but now it has stopped (with a black screen and, if plugged in, adb. says is into recovery)
I really don't know what to do, please help me.
UPDATE:
After leaving a night on its own, the phone was noticeably hot.
Also, when unplugged, if I hold POWER it shows me the logo a couple of time before going black screen.
Ok. But can you enter in recovery?
Another question: you said that u flashed the necessary files. What about flashing directly twrp as recovery, and from twrp make all wipes, and afther that flash from twrp some zip-ped firmwares?

Apparently yes (or at least, adb says I'm into recovery). However, I just get a black screen.
Tapping randomly on the screen doesn't give any kind of feedback (no vibration, no beeps, nothing).

Since I started having those problems after I flashed TWRP, I thought it was a better idea to flash stock recovery (alongside bootloader, cust and system) and restart from there.
I have the same issue...

Huawei P8 lites are region specific like Middle east asia america etc so before you go in make sure you know your build number in my case ALE-L21C185B560 its the UAE variant now if you've messed go to the huawei website download the rom specific to your region any other region won't work!!! get a clean sd card extract the file and copy it to the root of the sd card its normally an update.app inside a folder named dload shutdown the phone now press vol+ and vol - and the power button till it starts installing.. If you've messed up your recovery and can get to fastboot by plugging in the phone then pressing vol down and power.. use the Huawei extractor tool and extract the recovery from the just downloaded rom and flash it.. then retry the restore as stated.. im sure you can google all the tools you need to get so im not putting any links !!! Ahsante !:good::good::good:
The reason I'm making this thread is because I was trying to root my Honor 8 and things just didn't work out in TWRP. Rebooted my phone and I realized I had bricked it since it would not boot after 10 minutes. Solutions seem to be scattered throughout different threads so here's guide for when you're stuck in a boot loop or you bricked your Honor 8.
What you'll need:
1. The firmware currently you are on. @Coolyou posted a guide for a firmware finder. Here is the post.
2. SD Card
What to do:
Step 1.
Download the correct firmware. It will be a .zip file.
Step 2.
Create a folder called dload in the root of your SD card, not your internal storage. Copy the .zip file the folder and unzip it or unzip it else where and copy the content into the dload folder
Step 3.
Power off Honor 8 (if possible, sometimes it'll auto boot up when forced shutdown)
Step 4.
Make sure your device is not plugged into a computer as it will load into something else.
Hold Vol+ & Vol- & Power. It will being to install the firmware from the dload folder if done correctly. If it instantly fails that means you downloaded the incorrect firmware the device is already one.
You're done! However, if your device does not go past the startup logo within 3 minutes proceed to step 5.
Step 5 is probably necessary as everytime I've bricked my device, I've had to do the next step.
Step 5.
Power off. Hold power and Vol+. Once in Recovery mode (not eRecovery), clear cache and format your device. Once done, reboot.
Ta-da, you're device is now back to normal.
Unfortunately, I cant seem to get to the part where it detects my dload folder and installs from the UPDATE.APP file. My phone keeps auto restarting whenever I try to turn off, and since bootloader is locked, I cant flash any images. Every time I hold down Vol+, Vol-, and power button the phone just vibrates twice and goes to the blue honor boot logo. I have successfully managed to get to the Fastboot menu by holding down Vol- and power button, but this menu is useless as bootloader is locked. Is there anything I can do?
Let go off the power button after the first vibration. Also make sure your phone is not plugged to a pc. With pc connected it boots into eRecovery instead of recovery. Good luck!
Edit:Also the guide does not make it 100% specific but the dload folder on the sd card needs to have the update.app file right inside it. If the structure is sd\dload\folder\update.app it also won't work.

Add me to the list, two soft bricked Honor 8's. Once I made the jump to Nougat and installed the Nougat version of TWRP 3.0.1-1, I started having issues. So, I tried to downgrade to FRD-L04C567B150 from FRD-L04C567B320 and had big problems installing B150. Always getting unable to load /data Has to be something to do with the new data structure of Nougat I have a copy of the full stock rom of B150 and B162 and have wiped the phone. I am trying to dload full B150 from SDcard but will fail immediately and says Wrong Version. I can get to fastboot and ADB. I also tried custom ROMs but that wont work because they need the basic Nougat structure to work from. I don't have a clue how to proceed seeing that I can't even wipe the phone and install a Full stock ROM B150 or B162??
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

UPDATE : It freaking worked!!! After an entire weekend of hair pulling and going way deep into Nougat and MM trying to find the cause, it was a simple Full ROM B162 that I dloaded and three fingered from the SD card (of course it has to be the exact ROM for your phone such as FRD-L04C567B###). WOW, two phones are back. I'll stay at FRD-L04C567B162 and like it.
Lesson Learned: When you try to do an eRecovery and the Honor 8 starts downloading new firmware from the internet it creates a new folder on the sd card called something like HwOC. In that folder is stored the new firmware that erecover plans to use on the recovery. IF this HwOC folder is present and you try to do a Full ROM three finger install with the B150 or B162 firmware in the dload folder, the recovery will stop and say something like invalid version. To fix, remove the HwOC folder so that only dload is present, now do the three finger start and the firmware will install without error. Worked twice for me.
Hi, my device is still not booting up after installing the matching dload firmware on my device from the honor 8 website (FRD-L09).
Is there still anything I can do to maybe get this fixed?
I created a nandroid backup of all partitions that I were able to back up, but even rolling back all partitions did not make it boot again.
Sadly, I am not able to get the device into e.g. fastboot mode anymore because it is not booting anymore and therefore cant get an adb shell on it.
I can still enter recovery mode, but when trying to boot it just stays at the blue screen with the white "honor" text after the short boot animation with the 3d text
Hi,
my phone keeps entering eRecovery and my PC does not recognize it so please how can I access it to install files. I think I have installed a wrong boot.img and recovery.img version of firmware.
Please I need help.
Thanks
