Whatever you did to brick your device!
Whatever crazy thing you did to make this beauty a brick!
Next time, please don't waste time and money (dc-un...)
:crying:
First relax, take a deep breath in and smile. This method restored few phones and can be tried on every Huawei phone.
Second, hold volume-down+power and connect USB via PC. Means enter "bootloader"
Then pick up any old stock firmware of your region from this thread
Third unzip and rename folder to suit your model.
Fourth FASTBOOT.EXE FLASH ZIP UPDATE.APP and take a cup of tea or beer. Let all the error messages pass of.
Fifth, remove your ext_sd card and copy this extracted folder into root directory.
Sixth FASTBOOT.EXE REBOOT
It won't boot but will surely go to recovery, factory reset. Reboot.
Seventh, here is the main thing, hold volume-up+power till recovery shows updating
Eight, allow to update and get into the normal mode.
You will get your HUAWEI MATE 8 working in mint condition.
If this works, press the thanks button and rate this thread 5 stars.
All the best.

Another simplistic method if you are able to boot to your working rom.
2846579
Manufacturers port
Check your region
Then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img of existing 4.1 or 5.0 Rom.
Reboot.
Sdcard dload
2846579
Sdcard upgrade
And you are back to stock.
Do whatever you want to do, mate, but dont flash nougat rom this month!
Thanks. Will come in handy.
Think for yourself. Question authority.
This method also locks your bootloader without a trace of relock bootloader

Buddy, I had a tough time to roll back from nougat to my own firmware because of local power cuts affecting the process and I bricked.
I logged in DC account and even downloaded Phoenix software but thought let's try.
Aloha! I was successful
Had few gulf sets lying as bricks at my friend's shop and tried in those and they also booted up.

Does it mean I should download older firmware that the one I want to run after downgrade? For example, C432B170 if I want to finally have C432B180?
Yes, use this thread to de brand

Exactly! It doesn't flash but the bricked locked phone can be rebooted without issues.
Hi there! Thx for the instructions but unfortunately it's not working as intended.
After the Step FASTBOOT FLASH ZIP UPDATE.APP i get this output: see attachment.
Then the device reboots normally after FASTBOOT REBOOT
Does the bootloader need to be unlocked?
I really like to go back to Version B180 for my mate. As hassle free as possible.
Thx in advance
Daniel
You will get error but after that flash boot into recovery and wipe.
Dload folder in sd-card is a must

Thx for the quick reply.
I did all that, but the only options i get are:
- normal recovery with reboot, factory reset and wipe cache
- or eRecovery when still connected to USB with the option to connect to wifi and download the latest package, which fails.
Other than that it's just a normal factory reset and the B320 Firmware boots just fine and welcomes me with the first start wizard.
My device is not really bricked. I just want to downgrade, maybe that doesn't work this way.
Also after the FASTBOOT FLASH ZIP UPDATE.APP there is:
...
writing zip..
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)<--- this makes me wondering somethings not right, is it? This should at least work?
finished. total time: 12.077s
Hope you can help there

Daniel, to downgrade, first you need to unlock and then follow all the steps as written here.

Thank you for your time and your help. Much appreciated!

One more, didn't try though
FASTBOOT.EXE FLASH OEM UPDATE.APP
Do look here at times
Will try this after my Honor 8 gets charged.
It was bricked when updating from B162 (MM) to B320 (Nougat). Booting logo is the only one I could get, unless entering fastboot mode with holding vol- plus power keys when connected to a running computer. Three buttons (the above two plus vol+)results in bootloop as well.
Battery gets depleted unless charging when in fastboot & rescue mode. I'm going to charge it now (again).
BTW DC-Un... showed it was on B162.

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!
Great, was looking for details instructions like that, was stuck at cannot be trusted screen

But you first used different ROM images to unbrick and then tried to update to B321.

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?

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

Any Suggestions?

UPDATE 3: Noticed HiSuite being recognized, not sure how long its been there. Its been 15 minutes on black screen losing hope
UPDATE 4: Flashed back to B320 for now, @nakul has instructions to getting Nougat. Please refer to those. As of now I did not try it, I will when I have the time. Basically it's using dload after rebranding L29 as AL 10

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

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).

No, only the first (1.7gb).
EDIT: Forget the data.img for now. Try to flash the other files and even if it dont boot, use the version C432B160 to flash using dload method

There is no data.img in Huawei Extractor. I edited my last reply. Where can I find data.img?
nitroax said:
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.

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?

Hahaha, ok. So my veryyy last question. How can I flash the image files now? I thought I could do it with ODIN but there is no possibility to take img files ...?

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?

If I try to do a factory reset in eRecovery it stops at 10 % and shows me a " ! ".
I could format chache, but afterwards my Bootloop problem is still not solved ...

Since I couldn't manage to rescue my beloved Smartphone, I now sell it on eBay. The Phone is in Germany, but I would send it to other cities in Europe for transportation costs of extra 10 EUROS. If you are interested and like to bid, here is the Link:

odin is for samsung phones, try unlocking the bootloader, fastboot flash twrp, flash oeminfo in twrp and then use the update.app and 3 button combo, there are guides on this forum explaining exactly how to do it. just make sure you have the correct files.

Dude have you still EliteTWRP inside ??
If yes consider to use 3.1.1-1 instead of 3.2.x.x, because of the issues...
If not this is very strange..
If problem still persist backup all your stuff and do a factory reset.
Good luck dude
Factory reset coming up lol..
@ Dadditz, Thanks for responses.

No kind of problems.
Remember that you can not do the updates with a custom recovery, you need the stock one.

Dude it was simpler than what you imagined.
In fact it was only necessary tap on WIPE
and then SWIPE for factory reset as you can see in the attachments....
Wich firmware you putted in dload folder ??
What happen if you turn off and try to reboot holding vol+ and power button ??
If I reboot holding volume+ and power I get
EMUI
Reboot system now
Wipedata/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
And in dload folder I put full service update file.
I really did something wrong cause no matter how many times I try I still have incomplete firmware, not even keyboard

Dude why you done wipes instead of factory reset, these are two different things, very different...
You understand you erased all partitions and tried to recover by dload method
furthermore with a completely wrong firmware.
You were on VNS-L31C02B346 vodafone branded firmware
and tried to flash VNS-L31C185B384 unbranded nord african / middle east region firmware.
I can guarantee you that it would never work this way.
Now you f**k*d up your device.
Unbrick is not too difficult but you have to work hard,
and literally follow the guides i tell or suggest.
First thing be sure it's detected connecting to your PC and grant needed permissions.
Second, reboot to bootloader and see how Bootloader and FRP states are.
Report these basic info to proceed.
Will advice you my methods are based on personal experiences
and i cannot guarantee nothing, you assume all responsibility
of what are happening on your device, after all it is in your hands not in mine.
Good luck dude.

Bootloader and FRP unlocked.

Find a way to backup all your stuff and unlock again bootloader.
This will factory reset again your device.
Download and install via fastboot EliteTWRP 3.1.1-1....
Reply me when you're this step.
Dude if something donot take correct way you will only use your device as a paper clip
so ask before if you are not sure what you're doing...
Paper clip you say lmao
OK all backed up and all Unlocked, flashed EliteTWRP 3.2.1.0??

Ok, let's do the work...
With a PC create a folder on your desktop and rename as you want, may choose VNS-L31C02B346.
Download from official thread Huawei Recovery Updater v.04 and put into that folder.
Just add EliteTWRP 3.1.1-1 or whatever recovery you want ( must be for nougat/android 7 )
in order to keep custom recovery otherwise stock one will be flashed.
Now download these three .zip files
update (.zip)
update_data_full_public (.zip)
update_full_VNS-L11_vodafone_default (.zip)
on your PC and rename update_data_full_public to update_data_public
and update_full_VNS-L11_vodafone_default to update_all_hw.
Copy these renamed files into your folder together with Huawei Recovery Updater and EliteTWRP recovery.
Check that everything matches.

Hi
OK, you're ready to flash.
Copy your folder into SD card and reboot to recovery.
Tap install then find your folder, open it, tap on
HuRUpdater_0.4 then swipe for flashing.
Follow procedure into the flasher.
At the end it will reboot to system.
Probably at boot you will see some red lines, don't worry...
Press power button to skip and boot into system.
It should take many minutes, keep calm....
Do basic settings ( without any accounts ), enable developer options, then allow oem unlock and usb debugging.
Make sure your PC recognizes the phone ( let's HiSuite be installed ).
Turn off the device, connect it to your PC, and unlock again the bootloader...
Hope all will take right way and at the end
will have your latest working system ( VNS-L31C02B346 )
and EliteTWRP recovery ( if you added it in your folder )

Hello dude,
sorry if i wrote this but you posted in a wrong place.
You should have posted in questions&answers main thread,
as you can see this is guides, news and discussion thread.
Ask some moderator to move it to the correct thread ..
You could, perhaps, add some information on how the device ended up in this condition ..
What firmware was the last working?
Do you have a twrp recovery? if yes which version?
I tried to install twrp but I messed around. i tried several firmware but they didn't boot. I can't get into recovery, it just goes into fastboot

Ok Domenico,
fastboot commands should be sufficient to restore the device,
but you should say which was the last stock / custom working firmware,
(ex. VNS-L31C432B380 or ex. LineageOS 14.1) or at least the android version.... 6 / 7.
Cheers

Domenico, this is not possible.
B130 is a basic version of android 6.
Android 7 starts from B3xx and above...
Is your device single or dual sim ?
I can provide you a firmware, but it's a bit dangerous
to use without right knowledge of actual firmware version.
Make a little effort and try to remember ..

As you told me you probably had the B389 firmware,
so i will provide you that one...
From your PC download those three files..
1 - update.zip
2 - update_data_full_public.zip
3 - update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu.zip
Rename file 2 from update_data_full_public TO update_data_public.
Rename file 3 from update_full_VNS-L11_hw_eu TO update_all_hw.
Let file 1 the same name.
Download THIS SCRIPT (HuRUpdater0.4zip file).
Create a folder and rename it VNSL31C432B389.
Copy all 4 file you downloaded into the folder you created (VNSL31C432B389)
If you want keep TWRP (now recommended),
copy the .img file of the recovery into that folder, otherwise proceed with instruction...
Copy your VNSL31C432B389 folder into the SD card of the phone..
Reboot into the twrp, hit install, find out your folder (VNSL31C432B389),
choose only HuRUpdater0.4.zip file and let it flash.
You may have to follow some instructions on screen if needed, flashing could take many minutes, keep calm...
When rebooting, device could go in a bootloop !!!
If after 20 minutes it hadn't booted, press vol+ and power till it reboot into recovery.
Make a factory reset and everything should be good. Good luck...
I would recommend to read at least a couple of times before do... take your time...
