Huawei p9 lite bricked, no fastboot, unlocked and stucked on boot.... - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello,
I am from Greece and Ive bought from Vodafone a Huawei P9 lite vns-l21 before one month. Ive installed the nougat rom 370 with firmware finder but I made a mistake choozing the NRD-90M test key. So I begun to roll back to Marshmallow. Everything ok. Then Itried to install an other rom from firmware finder(i think C432b371) and again NRD-90M test key...
Again roll back to Marshmallow...so in the first step when i was trying to install with dload method the Huawei P9 Lite Rollback Package For L21C432 (EU) my phone stucked on boot loop but I had fastboot. Then I have unlocked the bootloader to see if there is anything that i can do with srk tool and now i have a beautifull bricked phone stuck :
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.
you device is booting now"
In this point nothing happens, I can not go to fast boot, No recovery mode, The hardware keys not doing anything, only resetting the phone in loop..
I dont know what to do and Huawei wants 215euro to fix my phone.
My mistake I know but is there enything that i can do know? Its a new phone!
Sorry for my english

I would suggest getting an sdcard and creating a dload folder inside, then putting an official rom UPDATE.APP file inside the dload folder and try 3button method

do you get verification error or is it just stuck at "your devices is booting now"

As far as I understand, you can't even power off your device which is a problem since the 3button method won't work if you can't power off the device.

Hmm I dont get why they want 215 euro to exchange the storage chip.
I guess your phone is pretty much a brick now have fun. Lol sry

I had a similar problem with the boot-loop.
Press PowerOff until the screen goes black, and then immediately leave power-off and press Power Off + Volume Up for ever until the phone boots normally.
That's what I did and worked for me.

Can you boot to fastboot, if you can you can recover it with DC-Phoenix tool.

No he cant, I have the same problem. Cant fastboot, adb or 3 button method. Even tried unplugging battery then doing 3 button method.

Anyone sopve this problem with no fastboot no recovery no 3 buttons mode?

try to drain the battery, keep screen on, or keep phone on until battery is 0%, you can't turn it on . keep volume down and power pressed, plug usb to pc , if you're lucky fastboot could be ok

Hi there, I also managed to brick my P9Lite - no recovery, no fastboot. After draining the battery completly the phone starts fine but I can't install system updates. I guess I have to live with that. Unfortunately I can't activate bluetooth. Does anyone has an idea how to get bluetooth working again?

idk for your BT issue , but did you try Firmware Finder for Huawei ? easy to use, you will probably able to dl an update. don't use "small " package OTA, use full firmware, about1.6 or 1.8 Go, may could fix your BT.

didn't work out as Firmware Finder is only another way to find a firmware but not another way to install the firmware...

Hello guys,
sorry if i write this but i think necessary to grab best helps..
Try to describe problem in detail (ex. - i was upgrading/downgrading from..........to............ firmware and it bricks, etc...)
Your latest working phone/system/firmware (ex. - mine was VNS-L31C432B381-before i upgraded to EliteRom).
Some information changes according to the country / region of the world in which you live,
so they are useful for those who help you to redirect to the correct thread / give right suggestions...
All the best guyz

didn't work out as Firmware Finder is only another way to find a firmware but not another way to install the firmware...
Yes , a way to get last firmware, or firmware you want through the huawei update app. Without firmware finder ,no way to " force" huawei update app to install anything you want on your device

Sorry for the late response, I'm reading the thread right now. Firmware Finder can also be used to install firmware through eRecovery. Install Firmware Finder for Windows: http://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/v2/GetLatestVersion.action
You need to write down your existing and change both DNS addresses in your router to: 81.177.139.39
You also need to deactivate IPv6 protocol.
Open FirmwareFinderRewrite.exe, go to "common base" and search VNS-LXXCXXX (Your model and customization). Copy the link in "changelog" not of the newest, but of the 2nd or 3rd youngest firmware. Check if it has been approved by pasting the link under the tab with the checkmark (5th position counting from left). If the response is "This firmware was approved to install" you are ready to go.
Copy the same link in the proxy field (the cloud symbol, 4th position counting from left). Click on "set" and "register update".
Now switch off your phone, press "Vol+" and simultaneously connect it to the PC. You enter eRecovery now. Tap on "Download latest version and recovery". Your phone should start the download now, after a couple percent you can reset your router settings, the download will continue. If all is well, the firmware will then be installed.

Yotaphone 2 yd206 updating issues

Just bought this from Gearbest. It is unrooted. I don't have a "check for system updates" button in Settings,About phone.
1. Is there a way of enabling this or will OTA update happen automatically?
2. I have read about manually updating with the yotaphone flasher utility but some of the posts here are scaring me off. Has anyone successfully flashed the EU firmware onto this phone using the flasher?
Thanks
John
HI, I had the same with my phone from tinydeal.
You can update it manually, but prepare to lose all you data if you don't have it backed up in some way.
Also, you need to be sure that you are prepared to try again and mess around a little if it does not work. As far as i've read nobody has actually hardbricked the device by trying to flash it.
My advise would be to download the latest firware via the yotaflasher, whichever you like but rename the radio folder in the firmware folder in the yotaflasher folder so the radio part just stays the same, this worked for me.
then choose flash the firmware in the yotaflasher tool and when it asks to flash userdata, you better press yes, otherwise it will probably bootloop, but so this also means EVERYTHING on your device is deleted
Greets and good luck!

Thanks. I took the plunge and ran yotaflasher, downloaded the latest EU firmware and flashed the phone. It all went well, though after reboot there was a worrying 5 minutes as it stayed on the Yotaphone logo. Rebooted fine into lollipop and "about phone" now shows it as YD201. I didn't bother renaming the radio part of the firmware and, so far, it seems no worse or better than before flashing.
The system update option became available and it immediately downloaded the latest OTA update. All looks good so far.
I had contacted yotaphone support before I flashed the new firmware and they told me that as it was the Chinese version, there was no international support. I wonder if now it is showing as model yd201 whether I would get support ?

You don't need to put your phone into Android recovery mode to flash. Just hold power and volume down until your phone displays Downloading... Now run YotaFlasher on your PC to flash your phone with the firmware you like.
stuck after tried flash
I ran into trouble when trying to flash my new Yotaphone2: After the flash-process (really quick) the yotaflash-software asked if I wanted to flash user-partition also (or sometihng to that extent). I answered "no". Now the phone seems stuck, only showing "powered by android". I read all the posts, but could find no solution. Fastboot does not find the phone. I can not power it off using any buttons, so I cannot put in in the flash-mode.
Any ideas what I can do?

It's a common problem. Try this:
- Put your phone in download mode. Just keep holding power and volume down, it will get there eventually.
- Use the YotaFlash tool to flash the latest EU or RU firmware, whichever you like.
- After YotaFlash is finished your phone will reboot and still be in a bootloop
- Put your phone in download mode again. Just keep holding power and volume down.
- Now go into the command prompt on your computer and navigate to the YotaFlash folder (for me it is in C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher)
- Now type the following command with your phone still in download mode: fastboot flash -S 512M system firmware/system.img This will flash the failed system.img in multiple parts.
- After the flashing of the system partition is finished reboot your phone with the command: fastboot reboot
After this your phone will restart. It may take around 10 minutes to finish and if everything went right the Android unlock screen should appear.
Finally did work. Thanks a million! What helped was pushing power off and volume up, that brought up a menu where i could select to bring up "downloading" screen. You are the best, thank you!
What I learned today about being stuck in loops -
1. Bootloop - to exit a bootloop, press up volume and on button simultaneously to enter recovery mode. DO this until you arrive at the Android symbol, normal after 2 cycles, up to 2 minutes. You are then presented with a few options (select with on button), since you are flashing, normally you would go to bootloader mode "downloading" , then change the firmware (usually a zip) file.
This is method employed in the post just above.
2 The second is stuck at Yotaphone logo at beginning. Have you waited long enough ? Be patient, maybe it is still installing , allow 10 minutes before you try the following method . To break out of the stuck at Yotaphone logo, enter the bootloader mode , by pressing the on button and volume down button simultaneously. You cannot enter recovery mode as in point 1 above. This method will restart the phone. After the reboot starts, quickly hold down the volume up (only) button before the short "buzz" then you will enter recovery mode. You only have a few seconds to do this. In recovery mode you can delete the cache , user data or reboot but not enter bootloader mode.
still stuck in

still stuck in "waiting for device" and my phone is still in dowlaoding mood. please help.
To exit downloading mode , press the yotaphone ”on/off" button for about 30 seconds . It will restart in normal mode.
You have incorrect "adb composite" drivers and your phone is not communicating with your PC. Try to get rid of any bad adb drivers in device manager on your PC.

go to yotaflasher folder (usually under programme files) and ensure that the individual files of the firmware you want to install are there and not zipped!

Hi well I have reached this point too but how to I ascertain the address to enter? Yes, yotaphone_flasher in in \Program Files but I'm told that C:\Program is not a valid command... Sorry I know this is basic PC computing 101 but after hours of trawling the net I am none the wiser. I am running XP. How can I see what the file path would be? Apparently there is a helpful utility to bring up the file path in the command prompt but of course it has been deleted because XP is no longer supported...

Did you try "cd Program Files"?
Make sure you are in the root directory C:\ (type "cd.." to go one level back through the hierarchy)
then type "cd Program Files\yotaphone_flasher" (if that is your folder path)

Hey,
Facing the exact issue of not being able to see the update option!
Planing to take the plunge my self but am a bit skeptical about the lollipop update. On facebook yotaphone page ppl have been complaining a lot about the lollipop update slowing down the phone and lot many other issues.
If I could get a little review from your side it would be very help full.
If there are any issues?
If so what are they?
Are they worth taking?
should I stick to kitkat?
ETC

phone of a friend: Official Software install failed. Can't reboot into android.

My friend gave me his phone to take a look at. It's Huawei VNS-L31. I'm guessing it's completely stock, no recovery, no fiddling on it whatsoever.
He tried to run a software upgrade on it but it failed somehow and now we can't even boot back into android. Please check the video it's only 26 seconds long.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/9Xxy0NEkfJAFmBy92
- Verifying update package...
- Installing update (up to 5%)
- Software install failed, The update package does not exist. Please download the package again.
=> Reboot system now
After rebooting it just tries the update once again. I'm guessing normally this should reboot back into Android. But clearly something is wrong? Anyone got any suggestion please? I've tried starting fastboot mode by connecting to USB and holding volume down. Also by holding power + volume down. But this doesn't work also, maybe because the device doesn't power off, only reboot...
Thanks in advance

I bricked my p8 Lite by accident. Please help!

Hi,
I bricked my Huawei P8 Lite by accident when I tried to root it after unlocking bootloader. I can't post links here yet but I followed Rootjunky.com's Youtube video "How to Root the Huawei P8 Lite Android phone" and while I was in the process of installing SuperSU it froze on the logo startup screen and won't go past it. People say in the comments that this happens with the 6.0 version but I'm not sure what I have. I've tried rebooting using power button plus down and can get to the recovery mode screen and hit "eRecovery" but it won't connect with the wifi.
Is there any way I can solve this? I am desperate! I have the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" program on my PC. Is there something I can do from the fastboot screen on the phone?
Help please!

Hey, thanks, but I'm not sure on how to do this. I don't have much experience with the technical side of this and I'm not really sure how to go about doing what you suggest here. Do you mean put the downloads on the sd-card on my phone? My phone don't show up on my pc since it gets stuck in start-up mode so how would I do that?
Thanks for your patience with an imbecille!

Do you mean put the downloads on the sd-card on my phone? My phone don't show up on my pc since it gets stuck in start-up mode so how would I do that?
Thanks for your patience with an imbecille!

Here you have a really nice guide with links etc https://huaweifirmware.com/huawei-p8-lite/
Make sure to label the folders correctly. Use an adapter or another phone to connect microsdcard to your computer Try to use the second, marshmallow part. if ot doesnt work try two other methods. Choose files accordingly (single sim or dual sim) Hope you will fix your phone
Phew! Okay, so I got it to work! For anyone out there with the same problem, I got it to work by entering the fastboot screen on the phone by holding down the power button plus the volume down button, connecting it to my PC and then using the command prompt program 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' to flash the files BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img and SYSTEM.img (using the command "fastboot flash boot filename FILENAME.img") that I got from Huawei's official UPDATE.app file and extracted with Huawei Update Extractor.
I didn't know what Firmware build to get so I got the B630 Android Marshmallow 6.0 for my model ALE-L21 (Dual SIM). It worked, but can anyone tell me if this is the right build, and how do I know which one is the right one if I can't access the old info on my phone? Is it even the latest one? I'm in Europe.

L29: Error Mode, Can't even access fastboot :(

I messed up
quick history:
I tried to install OREO using this guide. I debranded to Al10 and installed OREO, but google apps were not working so I tried to roll back. I used the SRK tool to debrand back to L29C185, and then used this nougat roll back package from here (using dload method). The dload update completed but after reboot I was getting the "Error mode" message. At this point I had access to fastboot but couldn't run any command and I would get:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
I read other threads and tried to re-unlock the bootloader. I did that and the unlock oem command worked, but now I got stuck at Error mode and I can't even access the fastboot mode :'(
The current error page screenshot is attached.
Please tell me there is a way to fix this ='[

So you rebranded back to L29C185...
So you followed a downgrade to marshmallow guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...-emui-5-to-t3515202/post69986527#post69986527
And decided to stop at step 5 after using a only 100MB dload to downgrade from oreo to nougat...
And then decided to your lock bootloader
I would advise to use dload mode now to install a working nougat dload archive for L29C185.

Use that free one:
https://androidhost.ru/3m5
It should install fine and restore fully your device.

Thank you for your prompt reply. The thing is the phone is now in boot loop of that "Error mode" screen shot. I hold vol + and - as soon as it resets but the recovery (for installing dload) won't show up and again the "error mode" page shows up. Do you think this can be fixed if I wait for the battery to drain and phone shuts down?
Thanks again,

Try again with no usb cable plugged in and with a sd or USB-OTG exfat formatted.
Battery drain, you'll see...

I tried unzipped the ROM and put it in dload folder of the sd card (I had used the same sd card with dload method several times).
Holding down vol+ and - doesn't do anything and doesn't run the recovery. The whole thing is just a boot loop of that screen shot.
What do you mean by "battery drain ... you'll see" ? Should I let the battery die before trying that? the battery is not drained yet.

In this "error mode" boot loop nothing is shown in the windows device manager. Also there is no plug and play sound , as if USB is not connected at all. Probably because it is not in fastboot mode, right?

The battery just drained and I tried the fastboot mode but the fastboot page doesn't show up. Only the same "Error Mode" page shows up
Huawei service care ?
Or open phone, use testpoint:
https://easy-firmware.com/media/articles/large/2018/08/17/237829-1534544261.jpg
and use a paying timed license to flash a working firmware with DC/HCU/HDE... Tools.

For any one who ended up visiting this thread I actually had to do what oslo suggested. This is the method 3 of DC-unlocker. Paid for a 3-day license of dc-unlocker and HCU and then used the testpoint method to fix the phone. Two points:
- when you are doing that in windows 10, you have to disable the driver signature enforcement to be able to install install the Huawei com driver.
- The test point is just one point, meaning that the other point is the ground (practically most of those silver metals beside the test points are all ground)
Hi guys, I messed up my mate 8 64gb variant. C636. Im not sure exactly what has happened with the phone but I'll explain. I updated to nougat, unlocked bootloader and then completely forgot that with nougat..you can't root the same way as with mm. Now all I get is the your device is unlocked and cant be trusted msg....and that's it!.
What exactly has happened? Vol up + down +power doesn't work and I have no erecovery.
What's the best way to fix this?

Try dload method. Create dload folder in sd card, then from nougat zip rom extract UPDATE.APP and place in the folder. With phone off press and hold Vol up + down +power.
