Hey guys!
I recently decided to try CM11 for this awesome device and I was extremely impressed by it.
One foolish thing that I did was that I didn't create the nandroid backup of my EMUI 3.0 version B380 rom. So, I tried to revert back using the 3 button method(creating dload folder and pasting update.app).
But for the life of me I could not get it to work!! I tried following
1) Straight away pressing 3 buttons but it failed.
2) installing stock recovery using multi-tool. Tried all recoveries (for my l04) still failed.
3) removing ext sd and creating dload in internal. But it couldn't even find the update this time!
So, I was browsing through forum and came across this post thanks to @Julsen1985 , @ thermalboyz
1) Use "B608" and flash via fastboot: (Extract using Huawei Update Extractor) Put into adb folder and manual flash from CMD.
- fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
- fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
- fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
- fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
- fastboot flash cust CUST.img
- fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
2) Reboot phone

Just download the B370 version from OP of cm11 and follow the exact procedure mentioned above. When you open command terminal, give command "adb reboot bootloader" and start flashing
U might have to factory reset as it shows incorrect user available memory. Then u may proceed for the B380 incremental update.
Also thanks to @worstenbrood for extractor and @VirusPlus for multi-tool .
Hope this helps!

The flashing with 3 buttons, after installing with fastboot, takes forever to load at the end. Is it just stuck or is this normal?

It worked once for me, while going back to stock from L01 firmware.
I just restarted to fastboot and did the "unbrick" option with Multi-Tool. After that, it just rebooted straight to EMUI 3.0.
Got it rooted with stock recovery now.
Thanks for your tutorial!

That's actually a great way to go back to stock!!:good:
This would save a lot of time

The Multi-Tool also guides you through the whole process, after "unbricking" , so it's kinda noobfriendly. After that, 3 buttons should work normally, I used the 3 Buttons before, so it just rebooted to EMUI, because it only rewrites BOOT, SYSTEM, RECOVERY and the CUST partitions.

You don't have to go through B608, just download B370 and extract all *.img and reflash them with fastboot.
I did the "unbrick" option with MultiTool and after that restarted with vol-,vol+ and power to flash it from sdcard via UPDATE.APP.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. If u have l04 version, then u have to download the b370 version. The quote was from a different post by a member.
I did miss as you say with multi-tools and perfect.
many thanks for the cooperation:good::good::good::good::good:
My L02 don't seem to accept any rom files i flash over usb after going back from miui to stock if you would have a look on my thread and point to the missing element that I can't seem to figure after working over 20 hrs on the phone trying to revive it

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.
really sounds as if your file is corrupted. Would try to download it again

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?

hello, my phone is still stuck.. i tried other cust/system/recovery/boot from other update.app, but its still stuck at: your device has been unlocked... im on l29
Have NXT-L29, downloaded stock L09 file from posted link, placed UPDATE.APP into 'dload' folder which I created, but still hanging at 5%. What to do?? Exactly where do I create this 'dload' folder? Just at 'Internal Storage'?

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

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.

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).

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?

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?

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.

At step number 6 an indication "Software install failed!" appears. Battery is 99% and the connection with my laptop is impossible. What can I do? Is there any solution to connect it with my laptop?

Try to install through SDcard create a dload folder on sdcard and to that dload folder copy ONLY the update.app file, and just like I wrote hold down the + & - & power button and it should say "installing update", make shure you have huawei recovery instead of twrp cause on twrp it wont install youre stock rom. I really dont know what could be the problem: check also if you deleted everything through twrp and install huawei recovery that is a MUST!!!
Where can I find the huawei recovery? I cannot find it!!!

Its simple: download the Huawei Extractor tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454) load the update.app into the extractor ( it works like winrar, but for huawei update files) when the extractor will extract the files select --->>>recovery.img<<<---thats youre huawei recovery. And then you know what to do with it Hope i helped, let me know if it worked...
The whole procedure!!!
I downloaded the official rom. I have opened the huawei update extractor. Profile unknown worstenbrood. I have loaded the item. I have choosen the recovery and then extract selected. The phone on fastboot mode. I used multi tool 8 recovery section. On flashing rom recovery / erecovery images I find it on select image and flash erecovery. A pop up window refers the e-recovery image was succesfully.....Restart from fastboot mode. Do you agree?

1.)Dont use multitool 8, youre doing everything fine youre using the wrong complicated tools
2.)try to download sdk platform-tools from here (https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
3.)Place the recovery.img file to platform-tools folder
4.)open command prompt in windows as administrator and in that command prompt change the directory of cmd to youre platform-tools folder example
"cd C:/youre/path/to/the/platform-tools" then type:
--->>>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img<<<---
it will say dameon tools not running blah blah blah ignore that, you need to make shure that youre end result is succes OK!
and then type:
--->>>fastboot reboot<<<---
and thats it try "dloading" that update.app file through SDcard holding +&- button
Final steps.
I did the
->>>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img<<<--- without problems etc and I received the success message.
and then I typed: --->>>fastboot reboot<<<. The phone booted normaly.
Then I put the update.app file into the SDcard and while it was connected to pc I pressed power and volume +&- button.
The huawei software installation began and freezee at 90%.
What do I have to do?

did you create a dload folder on sd card and placed the update.app in it? is it charged atleast when the green dot appears?
P.S you can NOT!!! use hisuite while instaling the update.app becuase its disrupting the installation everything is doing via sd card.
Youre doing everything well :victory::victory::victory:but youre doing weird things:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:, why are you connecting it to PC when you stored your update.app on sdcard?
Finally worked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there. So I have my Huawei P10 plus for about a half year now, and I found out the huawei's unlock bootloader code site worked, so I just jumped straight at it and unlocked my bootloader.
Everything went well, i could go into fastboot, installed twrp, everything worked fine. Rooted the phone bblablabla..... Then I realised I could not use Snapchat anymore because of the root.
So, I had SuperSu installed. I tried to unroot via there, didn't work. So I clicked "use another root app", wich basicly bricked my phone - i think - . After doing that, supersu wasn't gone yet. So I flashed it away with a zip in TWRP. That broke everything.
Snapchat worked, so I didn't bother that much. But the thing is,
i couldn't change theme of my phone
i couldn't update system anymore.
I tried over 10 days trying to get this fixed but nothing seems to help.
forcing into fastboot, twrp, or huawei's eRecovery, it all just bootst into the default boot or phone.
I have lost all hope and I don't honestly know what to do.
So I can still use my phone, but I can't do system updates or change the theme, and probably more things I didn't yet have found out. I'm sorry if my English is pritty broke, I'm just so pissed off atm I just don't know what to do anymore except for making a post like I'm doing now.
Please, help me.
Thank you.
PS: I know what some people are going to say: reinstall or flash the default rom and hard factory reset. Okay good, first of all I can NOWHERE ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET find my default ROM (boot.img etc), and I can't flash ANYTHING cuz i cant go into fastboot or TWRP.
i am ded
plz help
Hey!
So yeah, just flash your default rom.
It will wipe everything.
For this you have to use firmware finder, or go to this site (for VTR-L09. Type VTR-L29 in the search bar if you have this variant).
Click on filelist when you see : 2018.02.11 VTR-L09C432B185 (/!\ latest Nougat update).
Copy and past the first link that the filelist will provide.
Then download Huawei Update Extractor and Huawei Multi-Tool.
Open the update.zip file and extract the UPDATE.APP somewhere.
Open Huawei Firmware Extractor, click on " ... "and select your UPDATE.APP file.
Right click somewhere in the list and select "Extract all".
Extract everything to a new folder.
Power-off your phone, press vol-, plug your phone to your PC and press power (while vol- is pushed down). You should be in fastboot mode.
Open Multi-tool, go to the Unbrick tab, click on Specify a folder, select the folder that you have extracted the UPDATE.APP to, and hit OK.
If all the boxes are checked (System.img, boot.img, cust.img, recovery.img and userdata.img), you should be able to click the "Brick" button.
If you don't have cust, then you'll have to download the files on the 2nd and 3rd link that I gave you earlier, one of them contains an UPDATE.APP file, you have to extract it and extract its content with Update Extractor to the same folder that you have extracted the content of the previous UPDATE.APP file.
It will take time to flash, but when it's done, it's written in the Progress window in multitool.
When you're done, just update to oreo and follow the TWRP tutorial for oreo and the one for magisk, SuperSU is really outdated.
Well I just did a quick read at your text and saw you needed fastboot. I think you didn't read my post. I can not enter fastboot, otherwise I could have probably fixed it myself. Any suggestions?

I read your post.
Usually to enter fastboot you press vol- and power, but with TWRP you can't do this anymore (my case).
That's why I said : vol-, plug the phone to your pc and instantly press power while pushing vol-, that's the only way that I can enter fastboot, give it a try :good:
