I used fastboot to install the stock recovery which i got form:
http://www.rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Huawei P8 Lite&folder=Firmware
I used these links to do it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN7XW4HnFT8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfWYKREeQeQ
And then installed the offical rom through the stockrecovery by putting the dload folder on my micro-SD

For some reason all apps and things were still on my phone afterwards, i hope it will help you.

Have you tried it when the file was on SD card and internal storage?

Some Updates can't be installed over the b136.
The german b170 (a partial update) needs the b132 or the b133 to upgrade to b170. Directly update from b136 to b170 isn't possible

I have two Ale_21.
One is stock and never modified and went from 136 to 170 without problems.
The problem is with the other "modified phone", in some way I think ota detects
it was modified before and gives error.

Could you please be a little more specific?
You mean you downloaded stockrecovery.img form here
Code:
rootjunkysdl.com/files/Huawei%20P8%20Lite/Firmware/stockrecovery.img
? And then you startet the phone in fastboot mode with the command
Code:
adb reboot bootlader
? Last you send the command
Code:
fasboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
?
I already regret installing TWRP since I can't even try to install further Updates via dload. So I just don't want to make any more mistakes and/or brick the phone.

@Schwedenbitter
Yes that's pretty much what I have done.

You need to have the right version in order to install via update

From where i can get stock recovery for marshmallow b550, because every recovery i try stuck on 90 or 5%. I tried also to extract update.app b550 and it also fail

No you need to extract it with huawei update extractor to get the recovery.img
And you need to install it with fastboot.

Honor 7 ROM problem

Hello guys,
long time i had no problem (even that i couldnt make photos , use google play and had 4GB max space). I accidentaly erased system and through posts here i got custom chinese ROM with twrp(PLK-C00B618_Kangvip;EMUI 3.1; android 5.1.1). But now i want to make photos and use google play soo...any solutions ? I hope yes.
Thank you guys atleast for viewing this post.

You need to flash Google Framework and Google Play app, because most Chinese ROM removed those. You can flash a gapps package from Opengapps.
ARM-Android 5.1-Micro/Pico/Nano should do.

First get back to stock and then flash a custom ROM, this might help. Steps are below, follow them.
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.

Thank you, just got time to try it so ill inform in 2h(slow download speed).

OMG!! man, tell me your adress so i can visit you and hug you, i tried so many times according to lot of posts and it havent worked. I gave up once, but now i finally, god bless, finally back to stock firmware, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Iam so happy, nothing can breaky my happiness for today.

Dont know why but i have only 4GB allocated storage(before accidental system remove i had 10). Can you help me with that too ?

Those who followed this method didn't have this kinda problem.
Try to flash a custom ROM and see if anything changes.
---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------
To flash custom ROM, you need to unlock your bootloader first, then flash TWRP recovery, and download any custom ROM of your choice and flash it via TWRP recovery.

Usually because partition is corrupted.
Reflash again boot, recovery, cust and system img files.
If still persists go down to B100 ROM and use its img files.

Bootloader is locked now, but I can't enter in 3 buttons method (I did put on sdcard/dload/update.app)
it enters only in Huawei eRecovery

No OS, can't mount vendor/product/

Hi there
Today I bought a pair of Bluetooth earphones and noticed that Bluetooth wasn't working anymore, so I decided to factory reset my vanilla ROM (EMUI 5.0).
That didn't work out and eventually I had to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (so far I tried both TWRP and Revolution) and a custom ROM.
However, something must have gone seriously bad because I now can't mount /product and /version.
When I try to install a rom (EliteROM by HassanMirza), it also tells me it couldn't load /cust and /data as well.
- cust: invalid argument
- data: invalid argument
- product: no such file or directory
- version: no such file or directory
I also tried moving an update.app version to my internal memory but doing that through gives me an error saying there's not enough space.
Pretty much at a loss here, no idea what to do. Anyone got an idea? Even willing to pay to get this fixed.

Great!! Use huawei update extractor (HERE) to extract all the .img files from the UPDATE.APP and try to flash them via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and so on
This should help you and your phone should boot.

I tried that yesterday, but flashing the system.img file gave an error, something like "sparse flash write failed".
Would you have any idea what the correct build would be for a Belgian VNS-L31 which was previously on EMUI 5.0.
I got my phone with a subscription from Proximus and after the update, it just completely broke (the software I mean).
I'm from Bruges! And you?

Hmmm.. Can you flash stock recovery and dload the firmware?
The build depends on your Cxxx. What is it? I also got my phone from proximus! Assuming you didn't debrand your phone, it should be C02, but maybe you did debrand. However, I would suggest trying to dload the rollback package because you were on nougat. You can find it here. Follow the instructions in the PDF file of the zip package. But first, extract the recovery from UPDATE.APP

Thanks, i tried method 3 first but it failed (i have an unlocked bootloader though), so then i tried method 1 (i had twrp from meticulus already installed) first went to install only the update.zip in twrp, it failed, but when i rebooted, the phone is now updated to emui 5. Also my build number is now the test keys nonsense, but that happened to me before and i know how to fix that.

Install TWRP for Nougat, e.g. this one:
3.1.0.2
Install it over eRecovery with command
fastboot flash recovery2 xxxxxxx.img
Copy to the SD card the second file - hw_eu.zip from B370.
Boot into TWRP, click WIPE, then FORMAT DATA , after REBOOT SYSTEM.
