Very same thing here, Vodafone brand P9 Lite, flashed with latest 161 no brand official firmware, and no way to access Google account, the page where I should insert username and password simply goes away just after a while; same thing for any possible "point of access": play store, maps, mail, new G Account, ...
Then, I also tried to restore factory defaults, reflash same firmware, flash Vodafone firmware (operation refused by the phone)... any idea? I also tried to install the latest Play services apk from apkmirror, no way.

did you guys find a solution to your problem? i think i'm on the same boat ;/ (stuck on initial setup)

Try to open up wifi, mine was like that to but when connected to wifi it will load directly to home screen

Found a solution
I found the problem, Android System webview is missing from the rom. I went to a huawei center and they menaged to skip the setup. Google apps still didn't work until I manually installed the apk from apkmirror (arm + x86 package)

Install ADP1.1 JFv1.41. It will allow you to skip registration and to do it later over wifi
what is the procedure to install ADP1.1 JFv1.41 I have just downloaded rightly it but I don't know how to install can show it you me all those that it is necessary to install it
The instructions are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3219972&postcount=1
JFv1.41 can be installed in the usual way. Save the zip file to your sdcard named update.zip, boot into recovery mode (home + power), and then press alt+s. If you are switch between versions, e.g. from RC30 to ADP1, you must also do a wipe in recovery mode (alt+w). This will clear all your data/settings/apps, and you will have to re-register once it boots back up. If you are staying on the same build, i.e. from JFv1.31 RC30 to JFv1.41 RC30, then you shouldn't have to do a wipe.

But you also need:
Note: To install these updates, you need to have a recovery image that uses test keys. If any of the following are true, you most likely have a recovery image that uses test keys
* you have installed my modified recovery image in the past
* you have an ADP1
* you currently have one of my modified firmwares installed

Soft bricked S4

So like a few others my phone is stuck in the initial setup wizard and crashes saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." My question is if you guys think I could take my phone back into an AT&T store and try to get a new one. My boot process shows the stock screen and not the unlocked version.
I just dont know if they send it off to Samsung to check it for being rooted or if they could tell anymore. Thanks in advance.
Shouldnt make a difference but maybe do a factory reset in recovery just to make sure

I cant speak for everyone... Root worked fine... But i messed some setting... so decided to do a factory reset... Now im at softbrick..
I read on Android police that the S4 has an NON unlockable bootloader. Wonder if that has anything to do with your problems.
Oh, this is the at&t version sold in the states....not sure about the overseas versions.

Try to enter in 2nd recovery (Huawei eRecovery) that let you normally to download "latest version and recovery" of your phone.
to do that: press vol+ and hold it while connecting on PC or power on + vol+ while charging.

Edit: Now i have tried using a p9 lite vns -21 update via fastboot (fails due to adroid-info.txt missing) and sd card methods (wrong device) and obv as before update via erecovery wifi just fails
Okay so found another new way to access the files and be able to run them but any apk executed just says there is no app to use/open/install it lol so assuming that's due to initial setup still running
Done it!

Ok no prob I'll up a guide when on pc in about an hour
Okay so here is the full run down of how to.....
load up the phone, log into wifi, then upon seeing google last acc email go to enter text, hold space bar and go more languages, then go download languages, now you will see t&c's scroll down to any web link... (on p8 etc u get an option for normal browser in theory (so use that not chrome) and it takes out next couple of steps as it will allow you to unblock the install according to youtube) so now your on the web just google test dpc 3.0.11 apk and download (i used apk mirror) now (if using chrome) just google google app.. click on the app link (would be to download but is pre-installed (or was on mine) so it launched then from the search bar type Settings, click the app, then go advanced > security and allow unknown sources... now go back into the google app and type Files and then from downloads install test dpc, then make it the default owner of phone, now factory reset from the app...... woop the frp has been beaten!
If this helped please dont forget to click thanks!

P8 Lite Boot loop

I've been trying almost everything for days. When I turn on the phone the bootloader enters in a loop.
I can't access to recovery (vol up + power), not even in update mode(vol up & vol down + power).
The only thing I can access is the fastboot but my phone is locked and I don't the have the imei to unlock via calculator or the oficial huawei page.
If someone have any suggestions.

If getting your IMEI is your only concern then you can get that from the box... But you'll need Product ID too, and for that you'll need to have your phone booted up...

I downloaded the official ROM from huawei and is the recent version but when I tried to install it with "fastboot update file.zip" is asking for an android-text.txt and I been searching to re-create that file manually and then is asking for another file and so on.
I've been searching if I can install the oficcial ROM by fastboot even if is not unlocked and find this guide but it is not usefull for me 'cause I can't access into the download mode or use adb.
This is the information I could extract from my phone.

Ok i searched for ways to find an IMEI number and found couple of ways...
1) Look under/in the sim tray. It may be there (I didn't check this out)
2) Find the IMEI/MEID using Google Dashboard. This is Google's control center that can be accessed from any computer with a web browser. You will need to log in with the Google account associated with your Android phone.You can access Google Dashboard by visiting www.google.com/settings/dashboard Expand the "Android" section by clicking the "Android" heading.Locate your phone in the list. If you have multiple devices associated with your account, all of the devices will be displayed. Find the device that you are trying to retrieve the IMEI/MEID number for. (This works)
3) At last, you can try to remove the back case and remove the battery. This can help you in 2 ways. Firstly, there should be IMEI code present under the battery. Secondly, this may cause you to get out of bootloop

SM-G955W recovery

You can search for combination file instead, I got those sites here and here from just typing "G955W combination file" into google.
If it still fails - Though I doubt - try this tool then, I can't confirm if it's working or if it's safe though.
Also code is encrypted so I can't confirm if it contains malicious code. So it may be unsafe both for your android and for your PC lol.
Maybe you can use it on a windows sandbox.
