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

Hi,
I believe i bricked my brand new, just-out-of-the-box U8800 Pro. I will write the exact steps i did (in other words i will write what you SHOULD'T do!):
1. i entered the pink screen and copied the official recovery.img (5.0.2.6). then i tried to enter the recovery menu but it didn't work. it just showed a blue screen and that's it.
2. then i copied the unofficial recovery version (5.0.2.3) and it worked. i made a backup and flashed cm7 using the recovery. i did not reboot and wiped data. after that i rebooted the phone but it did not boot. it was just showing the huawei logo.
3. then i wiped everything again and rebooted. when i entered the pink screen mode there was no image folder nor any files. i could't access the recovery. i searched the forum for a solution and found links to 4 files (amss.mbn, boot.img, EMMCBOOT.MBN, recovery.img). i copied them to the phone but still couldn't enter the recovery.
4. on that same thread i found something about flashing U8800V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTESTC205D001(Esthonia Elisa). i copied the /dload/UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP files to my sd card. then flashed them by pressing VOL+ VOL- & POWER buttons at the same time. everything was looking nice... it said unpacking.. then installing.. and right after it said COMPLETE the phone restarted and since then it is showing just a black screen.
5. when i pull out the battery and insert it back the phone just vibrates but the screen doesn't even blink or something. it's like completely dead.
in sd card i found sd_update.log file:
"notesdld_file_ptr != -1) ! update.app have updated! start cust update ! SD download finished!"
if anyone has any thoughts, suggestions or info i would be very greatfull. thank you.
the rom B138 (Esthonia Elisa) is meant for U8800, not ur U8800Pro..
you finaly bricked your phone by flashing ROM from different model. now only service center can help you.

That goes for 5.0.2.6 recovery too (it's u8800 only). And I believe you did the same thing with CM7 for U8800, not Pro
My phone is not working too but I bricked it in the differrent way
hi, can someone help.
I've tried to install update 2.3.5 for u8800pro (second one with bug fixes) to my u8800pro, but i did something wrong. Now the phone didn't work.
1. I've copied step1 file to SDcard. that's it.
I,ve got to menu-stetings-sdcard-upgrade from sdcard.
upgrade started, then phone rebooted, but touchscreen is not reacting, also senso buttons. also it says that there is no sim card but it is in the phone.
I have no image of old system.
I think that what i did wrong that I copied only Step 1 file in Dload folder of SDcard (in upgrade there were also Step 2 and Step 3 files, but i didnt put them in SDcard Dload folder)
2. Then i've downloaded original Stock rom for u8800pro. Via computer i deleted from SDcard dload folder and then created new dload folder and copied stock rom (2 files).
Took off batery for 5 min., then pushed vol +, vol- and pwr buttones.
Got screen android system recovery (3e) with 4 options.
but i canot do anything from that point. I can't choose from theese options (buttons are not working), vol- or vol+, or pwr button not reacting.
maybe someone knows how to recover my phone to original stock or make something else to work phone?
Hi there, did you managed to recover your phone?
I have the same problem with my U8800PRO after attempt to upgrade to Gingerbread.

Any expert who can HELP!!!
i have an asus a500KL zenfone 5 tried software update after reboot got ERROR: invalid boot image
i am fairly experienced with root access, custom roms however this device was never rooted and have been trying to fix this issue for a few days.
I am able to get to csc mode, also powering off and entering BLUE SCREEN csc mode holding power ands vol up for 3 cycles until the screen goes blue, even installed different drivers and full restart of pc and phone, still not work.
I have tried ALL the flash asus tools and everything. tried a few intels but they dont even begin to work as mine is an ARM.
fastboot recognises csc mode!!!
I can flash a boot.img but that is it, does not change the situation.
Everything else gets an error, something like ERROR: Security prevents this action or something about it being locked. I think it might mean the bootloader is locked and cant access anything pretty much.
I have tried every key combination under the sun. (Timing, P + (+), P + (-), P + (+ & -), in all combos and timing combos.
Power + Vol Down gets me to the SD Update option.
CLick the top to continue and the bottom to reboot.
I have tried both and they both take me to the ERROR: invalid boot image
im stumped.
Ive Messed with HTC, Samsungs, Sony, Huawei for gods sake, even iphones and have never come across an issue like this that is so impossible to fix. I think i may have hit my first brick.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
I have the same problem...
I have tried everything and I am still stuck with csc mode.
Please help

Do you happen to be QDLOAD mode or QHSUSB? My experience working with SD400 devices, you need to nuke one of your partition to be able entering QDLOAD mode.
edit : For some reason I believe the CSC mode you got into is actually fastboot mode. Did you tried running any fastboot command? If fastboot cant detect, manually replace csc driver in device manager with fastboot driver.
Can you provide a picture of the error codes ?

like this i believe?Im having the same problem
Hi All,
If you have CSC MODE and ERROR: INVALID BOOT IMAGE
I found a solution, that is worked for me.
You don't have to turn on the USB debugging on your phone, connect to the PC, etc.
Steps:
1. Download recovery.img from Official Stock ROM (e.g. WW_12.4.5.58)
1.1. IMPORTANT: Only apply to same SKU update, Example: WW->WW, CN->CN, TW->TW
2. Download Official Firmware from asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A500KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (e.g. UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-12.4.5.58-user.zip)
2.1. Read the Description!!!
2.2. IMPORTANT: Only apply to same SKU update, Example: WW->WW, CN->CN, TW->TW
3. Copy the recovery.img and the <firmware>.zip files to the root of external SD card
4. Power off your device
5. Simultanously push the Power + Volume Down button and waiting for the choice screen
5.1. Choice screen:
1. Enter SD download mode
2. Exit update mode
6. Choose the "1. Enter SD download mode"
7. Choose the "apply update from external storage"
8. Choose the the <firmware>.zip file (e.g. UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-12.4.5.58-user.zip)
9. Waiting for the installation finished
10. Choose the "reboot system now"
Best Regards,
R.

I have been informed by the stupid Asus Thailand that the main board should be changed
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.

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:

Not 3 button method.
Shut down, press power and vol+ button and soon as you see Huawei logo, release power button but keep pressing vol+ button until you enter recovery. Do factory reset.

You can follow the instructions in this website
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/best-easiest-to-rollback-to-emui-4-0-t3507399
You first need to dload the update.app from the roll back package. For me the one from Russia work (you can try all three to see if one work). If any of the three rollback update.app work then you can use dload again the update.app that works before you install nougat. After that the phone will be locked. You need to unlock it again if you want to install twrp. You should be able to recover the phone as long as you can use dload and enter into fastboot mode (keep pressing the power button until it turn off then press the volume down at the same time connect it to the PC. If you can shut it down from the recovery menu, it will give you more time to do this).
This happened to me before and I used this method to recover the phone. For me the rollback from Russia works and I can dload back to L09C432B320.

will try now thank you mate
well so nothing is working keeps saying wrong software version man this is killing me
Hi hope someone can help?
I've messed up my mate 8 by downloading the firmware app and inadvertently flashed with wrong firmware.
I've got a L29C636 Which I believe is Asia model
but I've used DC Phoenix and tried to flash a C636 Stock rom.
It all flashes ok but the second step wants to put the phone in update mode which I can never do.
I've tried using a C636 update.app and put it on a SD card in the dload folder but it does nothing when I press vol up + vol down + power, all I get is the huawei logo for ages then either
your device has failed verification and may not work properly
or if I hold the power button for long enough it gives me the standard EMUI wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache etc
Anyone any idea to recover?
By using DC Phoenix I managed to glean I think I've got NXT-L29C432B192 but have also seen NXT-C900B170 too!
Mighty confused, can anyone offer any advice please?

ok dc phoenix thinks I have nxt-l29-C636B180 now
Do you think I could try to get this firmware and flash with that? Anyone know where to get that? I can't find it anywhere.
When I use adb and phone in fastboot mode and use adb devices I get nothing even though device manager has driver loaded called Android Sooner Single ADB Interface
Am I wasting my time as ADB can't see it over USB?
Anyone any pointers please?
