[Solved] Bricked my P9 Lite (VNS-L31) while attempting B130 update from SD card - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi there !
I just switched from a Windows Phone to a Huawei P9 Lite (VNS-L31), my first Android phone (never too late, I guess?).
I was following the instructions provided in this toolkit (https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...nt/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873) to unlock the dual SIM support, as this phone is from Orange and locked to single SIM.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted the phone. I got to the stage when updating the phone from the SD card is requested. Stock firmware was L31C109B120, new firmware is L31C432B130.
The update seemed to progress well, but actually no, as the phone is now bricked (black screen, screen will not power on, does not display anything).
Powering the phone with any combination of Vol+, Vol- and Power depressed results in nothing at all.
So I installed adb + fastboot and at least the phone is recognized in fastboot. I successfully unlocked the bootloader (again?) within fastboot with my unlock code.
Now I am able to manually flash the boot, recovery and system partitions from the B130 firmware. Unfortunately, this results in nothing, the phone will still not boot to anything else than fastboot mode.
I have limited knowledge/experience with Android phones, so I am kind of stuck now. I have read several topics and fastboot definitely seems to be the way to go, but there must be something that I am doing wrong.
I was wondering whether someone would be willing to give me some insight, please?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Eric.
[Edit]: I was able to flash the stock VNS-L31C432B130 firmware but not with fastboot... I had to use DC-Phoenix and pay 15€ to do so. Is there a free equivalent to DC-Phoenix yet?

Hello
I think you should disconnect the cable and press on volume + and power erevovery wipe factory, cache. Restart
If it does not work, start again.
With the toolkit, bootloader code, installs twrp,
Go download c432oeminfo double sim.zip Badwolf
Fashe c432oeminfo.zip.
switch off.
Doad b130.

Yes, this solution saved my phone... And u can try flash with fastboot any partition (recovery, system....)

Thank you for your help, guys!
Yet, nothing happens when I disconnect the cable and try to reboot the phone while holding Vol+ and Power. Vol- and power or Vol+, Vol- and Power do not deal any better result unfortunately. The screen remains off.
I believe I should delete/flash something through fastboot, but I do not know what! I believe I have tried everything I could think of, and I am running out of ideas...
Yet the phone is accessible through fastboot, so all hope is not lost, right?

Well, I have good news: I managed to reflash my phone by following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...green-t3485836
You have to download and use DC-Phoenix to flash a stock firmware to the phone.
The bad part is that it is a paid service that will cost you 15€... but for me it was worth it in comparison with having a dead phone.
I wonder why no one has come up with a free equivalent to DC-Phoenix yet?

L31 bricked by flashing rollback package

Hi All.
I hope someone can help me. I encountered this stupid problem:
I have a L31 device and successfully installed the Nougat (test?)update through Firmware Finder. But since this wasn't the definitive update, I decided to rollback to MM. I installed the C900B300 rollback package and then the B160 package. That went well, BUT the device now refused to activate the Google services. I couldn't enter a Google account. Not from Settings > Accounts and not from any other Google app like Chrome, Play Store, Gmail or others. The screen just kept returning to the Homescreen.
Upon checking About this device, I noticed the version now was C900B160, instead of the expected C432B160. I am very positive I used the C432B160 MM package to flash. This I did with the three button method. But then how come it still showed C900B160?
So I first tried to reflash the C432B160 with the three button method. Flashing worked well, but the problem wasn't solved. Still no Google activation and still the same C900B160 number.
So then I decided to reflash the rollback package...
That turned out to be a mistake... After flashing that (and it did show 100% successfull after flashing) the device is bricked. The Huawei logo shows and then nothing happens. The logo stays in the screen. I can't even turn the device off. Short pressing the ON-OFF button does nothing and long pressing just restarts the logo and nothing more.
I tried to reflash the MM update C432B160 with the three button technique, but that doesn't work anymore!! Entering erecovery with the volume up and ON-OFF also doesn't work anymore!! The only thing that works is Fastboot when connected to a pc. That screen shows phone (and bootloader) is locked, by the way. So I can't flash boot.img and recovery.img .
Has anybody encountered such problems and knows what to do now?? Thanks guys!

With fastboot method, unlock bootloader again. Flash recovery. Boot into recovery. Wipe system and boot. Flash stock boot IMG and recovery IMG. Power off. Use dload. Now you are in bootloop. When booting press vol up 3 seconds, on e-recovery press shutdown. Press and hold power and vol up. Go to stock recovery, do factory reset.

Thanks for your help.
Trouble is that I can't unlock te bootloader, because I do not know my Product ID and I can't look it up, since I don't have a dialer... The HuaweiProductIDGenerator doesn't help. I tried several codes with it, but none worked.

No, I can only get into fastboot when connected to a pc.
OK. gtdaniel was so kind to provide me with an unlock code. THANKS!
But, I don't seem te be able to use it...
I can put the phone in bootloader when connected to a pc. When I type "fastboot devices" I do get the correct serial number. But when I type "fastboot oem unlock 343...338" I get a FAILED (remote: command not allowed).
It seems this is because I never could allow OEM unlocking from the Android settings menu. But since my phone is bricked, I can not enter into that menu!
Does anybody know how to solve this??

But i dont know is that good idea to listen to me anymore
Thanks, but the Toolkit says it can't find the device.

at command line when u write adb devices u got your phone ?
Maybe is dump question but did you install adb android driver ?
I'm pretty sure that someone wrote in thread that you don't need to have this oem permission in android if you are in fastboot

Yes, that's what I read too. Since I can't change that permission anymore while I can't start Android, I can't unlock. Dammit.
Is DC Unlocker my only option then? It seems their software can do it.
I'm afraid I've got some pretty bad news. Last week the same thing happened to me after I was THAT stupid to actually try and flash the rollback package for the second time. My phone got bricked just like yours, and NOTHING worked to fix it. I tried completely everything I could find on the net and XDA, and in the very end I was forced to bring it in for warranty repairs. Even they COULD NOT fix it and the phone ended up with the entire logicboard changed with a completely new one. I was lucky that it all was done under warranty. Will never do anything as stupid as that!
Really hope you find a fix somehow, but if not, the repair service is your only solution, because otherwise the phone is as good as dead.

my phone is also reedy to send to service. I have a lot of phone with android but no rom make so many damage to my phone, like this fc** rollback. finger cross, because huawei service in my country without warranty,takes for new motherboard 175 $ . I bought phone for 233 $ with 3 gb ram..... This will be harsh and pay(in)ful lesson for me.

Uhh, I am sorry to hear that. But yes, I had the same harsh lesson. They will be forced to changed the motherboard too, cause even they won't be able to re-flash the whole system. Though, what I did to have the warranty not declined, is I brought the phone to the service and said that - "The phone received and OTA update through the updater, I didn't look much into it and just went with it, pressed on update and everything seemed well. It worked until the moment where it installed and restarted, and now the phone is stuck on Huawei logo and you can't possibly do anything with it, not even turn it off." - and that's it. They will have to repair it under warranty because there is no proof left that you had rooted it or done any other installations not authorized by Huawei.
Best of luck!

I know that i read somewhere how to manage to this oem lock. I was 50 % right.
https://forum.dc-unlocker.com/forum...61751-huawei-mate-9-mha-l29-erase-frp-problem
Some user got the same problem that you have and flash boot.
But truly if u don't have "your device has been unlock" only bootloop on huawei logo, is more simple to send it back to warranty and play dump.
I have now "your device is unlock" and i pray for miracle.

I am exactly in the same situation with the difference that I don't have Fasboot! How do you get to Fastboot? Mine hangs on the screen that says the phone is unlocked and the device is booting... Vol+/Vol- and Power doesn't boot into Fastboot and my minimal ADB doesn't recognize the phone in the stages that it hangs...
---------- Post added 16th April 2017 at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was 15th April 2017 at 11:52 PM ----------
I have the same situation. I tried everything, Three button method, letting the battery run out completely, Vol+ and Power, Vol- and Power, connected to PC, not connected to PC. Every time I disconnect the charger, and reconnect it starts from 0. I read some other people here have the same problem. Send it to warranty and explain your rollback process unlocked the bootloader somehow (I mean the phone does do a lot of sh*ty sh*t, so this shouldn't seem very odd as well!!!) and hope that you get a repair/replacement and after that sell it on ebay hoping some stupid people like us in the first place will buy it and spend your money on a phone more reliable!
I managed to access the fastboot using the 3 button method in cold boot. Hold the Power key until the screen goes off and then release and hold down the Vol- key and immideately connect the usb cable to PC right before it vibrates or exactly when it vibrates (it's a matter of timing), and bingo you are in fastboot and you can flash system.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and boot.img from there, but this is not how I revived my phone. I used the 3 button method again when the phone was charged for like half an hour or so and the did the same cold boot trick and I could boot into the force upgrade environment (strangely this still didn't work whitout connecting the usb cable to PC), but it somehow didn't want to read the UPDATE.APP that I had in dload folder on my SD card and wanted to have it from my PC (I just felt it nad there was no indication of it ) so then I installed the DC Phoenix tool and payed 15 euros to be able to inject the complete UPDATE.APP to my bricked phone and the installation went well to 99% and failed, but I rebooted the phone and I could boot normally. Just to make sure I did a factory reset afterwards. Hope this helps.
Cannot get into Bootloader
Hey there!
Essentially as stupid as I am i flashed the Rollback Image at Android 6.0 too, because i wanted to get rid of C900. So now my phone is stuck in the Startup screen too. As mentioned here, I wanted to unlock bootloader again; The Button combination does not work, and if I want to start in bootloader via ADB, it just says "waiting for device"
i am really desperate and i don't know what i should do now
Thanks for the help
EDIT: Somehow managed to got it into Bootloader. At the moment i am unlocking it. Where do i get TWRP and the needed things? Please help, i'm just some noob who doesn't know how it's done
EDIT2: Solved, got Stock Recovery Re-installed, Flashed with the Force Update Method the Main Package of the Rollback (so not the temp rollback data), and worked. But Still C900 and no Google sign-in possible. Someone know how to solve?

Can't enter fastboot mode

Hello
I bricked my M3 and tried using Huawei Tool to unbrick it.
I followed all the instructions, and realized that the bootloader needed to be unlocked. I unlocked it and since then, I can't enter Fastboot mode.
I've tried pressing Vol - and power and it's stuck in a loop where it tells me
"Your device has been unlocked...
Your device is booting now"
And then it doesn't move.
Am I screwed?
Thanks a bunch
My device is a BTV-W09
I saw many of the same symptoms and I showed the same symptoms.
At this time, there seems to be no recovery method.
Same symptons as you. I guess the fastboot partition wiped itself after unlocking so there's no way else to get in anymore.
Same here: unlocked bootloader than flashed TWRP (maybe not the right one) and now the TABLET power ups for only 3 seconds with the message "Your device has been unlocked...Your device is booting now" and then it shuts down!!
Anyone could suggest me how can I return to fastboot mode to try to relock the bootloader?
Thank you very much!!!
(I tried VOLDOWN+POWER / VOLUP+POWER with and without USB cable connected with the PC but after 3 seconds of warning message it shuts down!!)
Anyone could help?
I've found a possible solution: pressing BOTH VOLUME UP AND DOWN and POWER the tablet search for a system update inside SD CARD. I've tried with the only one update I've found online and in fact the system waits few seconds with a blank screen before rebooting again. This is a different behaviour from the usual brick loop.
I think that the update found in the SD card isn't compatible with my tablet.
Anyone knows where can I find the right or compatibile upload->UPDATE.APP for CPN-W09 model? I think this could be the only one way to restore a bricked recovery partition that cause this boot loop.
THANKS!

Volume up + Hold Power for 3-4 Seconds during the locked boot. When the screen goes blank let go of both and it should go into recovery like it was supposed to. You have to let go though at the right time. I unbricked some op phones doing the same thing but it's been awhile.

Another P9 lite brick

Hi everyone. I'm saying another brick phone because i read many many topics about it.
My P9 Lite has only black screen. (even no blinking light).
I still have access to the fastboot (fastboot devices list my phone).
The phone was with emui 5.1 but I flashed twrp 3.1.1
I rebooted under twrp recovery. I installed C432OemInfo-DUALSIM-P9LITE.zip (I wanted dual sim).
Reboot with android, OK.
I rebooted under twrp and flashed L31C432B130 with the update.app methode.
Phone was installing. THen no LCD anymore.
I'm trying button methodes (vol+power, vol- power, vol+ and - power) with or without wire, but it doesn't change anything.
I tried to flash twrp again (3.1.1 or older) but when i reboot, nothing happe. But I see that Hisuite is doing something (even if it doesn"t recognize the phone).
I tried stock recovery too. Nothing.
Bootloder is unlocked (i still have the code). This is a HUAWEI VNS-L31. S/N 4TE7N17209004690
I tried to download a stock rom. and flash (all with fastboot) recovery, boot, system but not working too.
Putting update.app on sd then vol+ vol- power at the sime time => no effect
Is there a method to get it back ? I saw that there is a de-unlock utility but i'm not sur it will work ?
Thank you
I don't remember P9 lite having emui 5.1 (except id it was a port)

Hi. Sorry for my late answer.
I don't care to pay 15 euros. but I don't know which file to use. I wrote them on their forum but they don't know too.

Mega Bricked 7X - Calling out all Senior/Pros for HELP!!

HI, I will get right to the point. My phone is Honor 7x (BND-AL10C675 INDIAN) I screwed it up.
Now, the fastboot or recovery or E recovery nothing works!!
There is only one screen which keeps coming in a loop rebooting with a vibration
It says " ERROR MODE"
ATTENTION!
PLEASE UPDATE SYSTEM AGAIN
ERROR! FUNC NO : 8 (HIFI IMAGE)
ERROR NO : 1 (SECURITY VERIFY FAILED)
It keeps rebooting and the phone doesn't even turn off. I tried the download mode (Volume UP & Down Power button, SAME SCREEN comes up)
Let me know if you want me to write a detailed version of how I got here or ask any specific questions.
Now, all I need is at least FASTBOOT so I can do something about it. Is there anyone who can help? I hope SOME PRO OR A GEEK is able to solve this issue magically. I just can't tell you what I'm going through.
UPDATE:
As Christo31 requested and maybe it's useful for other people to help me out. Here is what I did. It's a real long story!!
I have Honor 7x (BND-AL10C675 INDIAN) I had unlocked bootloader and twrp and I was on emui 8 beta which I flashed manually using one of the tutorials here on the forum. One day, I decided to get back to stock as I was stuck in emui 8 beta and no OTA updates so I downloaded the emui 8 stable rom from firmware finder and put it in sd card "dload" folder. Now, for this method to work, we need to relock bootloader and flash stock recovery which I did and it completely wiped everything out.
Now, the "dload" method fails at 5% every time. I tried different roms for this very model but no it doesn't work. (Also, my build no. was stuck at B141 for a long time no matter what rom I changed : Yes, this is stupid, I should have fixed it first) Maybe that's why the "dload" method doesn't work.
So, in this forum I saw some with similar issue but somewhat different " Frp locked & bootloader unlocked" and I was told that the DC phoenix software might fix this and I bought some credits and used the software. Here's what I discovered
My observations with the software:
* I put the phone in fastboot and downloaded the update.app full Ota (same one emui stable) and tried to flash. The software flash well ok as it says "the software is written" but the phone doesn't boot and goes directly into the recovery mode and again the bootloader and frp are locked.
*Here, I noticed that it shows something like "opening backdoor" and then the Bootloader status goes to red and says "UNLOCKED" it means it was definitely doing something so the next I repeated the same process but as soon as the phone was "UNLOCKED", I pulled the usb cable out and I kept my command ready and tried "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img" and guess what it flashed that twrp file and I could see in the command line that it went "okay" so I immediately booted to recovery but again the stock recovery comes up. Also, I tried system.img also it flashes fine but phone doesn't boot. Same recovery.
REMEMBER: THE ABOVE STEPS MAY WORK FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER BUT FRP LOCKED. IN MY CASE BOTH ARE LOCKED SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
* I tried another update.app I guess it's BNDL22.ZIP or something and this time the software was trying to flash in "upgrade mode" and somehow the recovery was broke. There was some "ERROR MODE" basically the recovery was broke. I didn't care much. Although flashing another update.app would have fixed it.
* The next step I tried after a lot of trial & error for about 1.5 days. This time I did the same when the bootloader was unlocked, I pulled the cable and tried the command "fastboot oem unlock unlock code" ( I should have got this idea before, I mean it's a mess guys, I didn't sleep for too long) and I was shocked to see that it showed the options "Unlocked bootloader yes or no" and I clicked "yes" and I jumped hoping that it's over but... I ended up with 'ERROR MODE' which I described above.
* I feel, because the recovery was broken, it ended up in error mode. Just imagine if my recovery was fine and then I tried this command then it would have erased everything and maybe I might have been presented with fastboot screen with both "frp & bootloader Unlcock" or at least 'bootloader unlock" in either way, I could have flashed a 'system.img' and get into settings and BEATH THE HELL OUT OF THAT "ENABLE OEM UNLOCK' in settings. The rest you know.
I wrote this not just because someone might help me but because a lot of posts on this forum really helped me a lot and posts like these can help a lot of people down the road.
Now, my phone is still in the same loop. Reboot, Honor logo, Error mode...REPEAT
I heard that once the phone drains down completely, we may get back fastboot. Fingers crossed. Sadly, I have Mac so I borrowed windows laptop for this purpose from a friend. This is the last day and I guess I'm going to put it on sale and sell it as a scrap or something for display and stuff.
How much does motherboard cost? anyone any ideas? if it's below 4K or about 80$ then I might go for the repair if nothing works!!
I'm going to update on this very soon. Le'ts hope for a miracle. Either way my HONOR 7X IS A LEGEND.
UPDATE :
After waiting for hours, my phone got discharged and I curiously plugged in the phone pressing "volume down" button OR power + volume and all other types of combinations but the phone just goes to the same "ERROR MODE' and keeps going in the same loop.
So, I really hate Huawei for not providing stock firmware or some type of recovery for people like me to get back to stock. For example : Xiaomi has that fastboot ROMS which you can easily flash in EDL mode no matter what happens to you and of course some other ways to recovery the bricked phones.
The Huawei E recovery?? What the **** is it? Does it ever work? It's some kind of a joke. The hisuite is again **** It says 'My model is not supported" and it only showed me two very older and ancient models that are supported for recovery.
I'm not expecting warranty but at least they should give the service for the customer. Did I tell you that this phone was in Service centre for three days when it had FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, E RECOVERY working. They could n't fix it in 3 days so I rushed them to get my phone back hoping that I would recover it with the above method.
Now, I got the Redmi Note 5 Pro and my 7X is a dead brick and I'll try selling it as scrap for display etc...
Finally, I really love the XDA forums and the friendly members who are very helping and so empathetic. Thanks guys, you are the best
I'm not leaving. I'll see you on the other side. I mean, the Redmi Note 5 pro development. Keep hustling
You need to tell us what you did exactly first for any help

when you are in this situation
- Keep press "volume down" + "power button" for about 10 seconds, the phone will reboot
- When the phone reboot, release the "power button" but keep "volume down" and in the same time plug the micro usb cable ( you have to be ready and quick )
the phone will boot in FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE ( hope you have unlocked bootloader and frp unlocked )

Hi, thanks for your help but the phone doesn't turn off. it just keeps rebooting and there is honor logo and then error mode and then phone reboots and the same cycle. I tried what you said also with other possible things but I guess I need to let the battery drain out completely as some people said it worked for them. It's almost 9 hours and it's still not drained (it was on full charge) anyway Fingers Crossed!!

HI, I Updated the post in full details. I hope my phone is rescued.
Let the battery drain, and then try to get into fastboot using key combinations. Let me know if you can do this, from there on you can proceed normally.

It didn't work out. It only boots in error mode and keeps going in a loop.

I never heard of it I'm googling it now and please throw some light on this but strangely your message got my hopes up.
UPDATE: Oh, I guess you are talking about Huawei Hisuite. I did try that and it didn't work and I included that in my post above as well. I still have my phone with me completely discharged.

and with phone , off, totaly discharged, holding volume down, and plugging in the usb cable , just gives you same error mode?

[/COLOR]Follow this steps.
1. Just flash with Dc phoenix
3 extract two update. App with huwai firmware extractor.
4. Check the log of dc phoix. Check which files are not flashed. By comparing with extracted files You will observe some files are not flashed. (some files are not in log of dc phoinix) Like Vendor.img product.img cust.img etc.. Note down which imgs are not flashed..
5. Now use multitool and go to unbrick option. There will be option of flashing around 5 img. Flash the 5 imgs. You will get this 5 img from extracting Update.app
6.then your phone will be working but not perfectly. Flash TWRP with fastboot.
7. Aftee flashing TWRP flash all other imgs which were not flashed by dc phoenix.
Then boot. Your phone must be good.
And again if you want then re flash with HWOTA tool. Your phone will be running now.

i more question for you. Please . Does the three button combo from power off attempt to show update screen. I know for everyone the dload method is failing at 5%, but still need to know if yours is attempting this or not even try.
There might be dload method that works, according to posts on 4pda.ru

I tried that also. Power+Volume UP+Volume Down to get into download mode but it just goes into that "ERROR MODE'
Normally, it should but maybe because I broke my stock recovery also and then tried to unlock the bootloader when the frp was locked with the DC phoenix trick (Pulling out the plug) that it's really screwed up beyond all this. Let me know if you want me to post pics or maybe if the clips canoe uploaded here, I will make short clip with what's happening. I guess I need some factory or manufacturer level stuff or I need to replace the motherboard. BTW the local guy told me it costs 8K INR which is around 125-130 USD which I'm not willing to spend. I got Redmi Note 5 Pro and I'll probably never ever buy Huawei phones ever.
ANYONE HERE WHO CAN DONATE THE MOTHERBOARD, PLEASE PM ME:laugh:

Nova Can-L11 - Can´t boot in fastboot mode

Hello out there.
since two days i own a second hand Can-L11 EU version. My problem: i can´t boot in fastboot mode to unlock bootloader. Phone ist working with stock rom, adb is working, i can flash full stock roms with power + vol+/-.
Device is starting in fastboot mode via adb or cable and poweron or power + vol-. Immidiately after the fastboot-mode screen appears, phone is starting new, so i can´t place any commands. Fastboot screen shows frp unlock and bootloader locked.
I flashed a new full stock rom but nothing changed, it´s the same as before flashing - rebooting after fastboot-screen appears.
What am i doing wrong? Is there someone with similiar problems? Searched many threads, tried many tips - nothing works. I don´t want to use a phone without root to install a reasonable firewall, that protects me from google and huawei or whatever app spying me out....
Thanks for replies...
