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

BTW I debranded mine too with Acer's to international.

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?

sorry, is possible flash with knife if bootloader is locked? my bootloader is locked
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

That's a defect with the wifi-card. I had this problem too and I sent it to the assistance. They changed all the motherboard and now it's running fine. That is without doubt, the only solution, according to my experience and many other's who had the exact same problem.
I had this once and a reflash helped xP

Download the Firmware for you device from Huawei consumer , the same or up. Unpack the update file and copy the dload folder inside of it into the sdcard root. Power of phone and hold Volume up + Volume down + Power at the same time until the firmware gets flashed. You will see it.

I have already unlocked bootloader, if I send it to huawei service they will say something that it is my fault? I lose warranty?
Hello,
today I tried to downgrade from nougat to MM. After the MM Rom was installed, my phone only shows me the Huawei Brand. The phone does not start, it only shows huawei brand. How can I rescue my phone now ???? Please help
Edit:
If I press Power + VolDown it says PHONE Locked, FRP Unlock
I tried the rollback with this method:

Make sure you dont have the usb cable plugged when you try to enter recovery.
Have you tried flash the MM UPDATE.APP again ?

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.

OK, sorry for being such a noob. I now installed the Huawei Extractor. Furthermore I downlaoded stock Rom MM B130. Now there are two ZIP Files (like you can see on the picture). Do I have to extract both of them???
EDIT:
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.

WOW, damn...
Dude have you still EliteTWRP inside ??
If yes consider to use 3.1.1-1 instead of 3.2.x.x, because of the issues...
If not this is very strange..
If problem still persist backup all your stuff and do a factory reset.
Good luck dude
Factory reset coming up lol..
@ Dadditz, Thanks for responses.

No kind of problems.
Remember that you can not do the updates with a custom recovery, you need the stock one.
Happy holidays and good luck.

Dude it was simpler than what you imagined.
In fact it was only necessary tap on WIPE
and then SWIPE for factory reset as you can see in the attachments....
Wich firmware you putted in dload folder ??
What happen if you turn off and try to reboot holding vol+ and power button ??
If I reboot holding volume+ and power I get
EMUI
Reboot system now
Wipedata/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
And in dload folder I put full service update file.
I really did something wrong cause no matter how many times I try I still have incomplete firmware, not even keyboard

Dude why you done wipes instead of factory reset, these are two different things, very different...
You understand you erased all partitions and tried to recover by dload method
furthermore with a completely wrong firmware.
You were on VNS-L31C02B346 vodafone branded firmware
and tried to flash VNS-L31C185B384 unbranded nord african / middle east region firmware.
I can guarantee you that it would never work this way.
Now you f**k*d up your device.
Unbrick is not too difficult but you have to work hard,
and literally follow the guides i tell or suggest.
First thing be sure it's detected connecting to your PC and grant needed permissions.
Second, reboot to bootloader and see how Bootloader and FRP states are.
Report these basic info to proceed.
Will advice you my methods are based on personal experiences
and i cannot guarantee nothing, you assume all responsibility
of what are happening on your device, after all it is in your hands not in mine.
Good luck dude.
:silly:
Bootloader and FRP unlocked.

Find a way to backup all your stuff and unlock again bootloader.
This will factory reset again your device.
Download and install via fastboot EliteTWRP 3.1.1-1....
Reply me when you're this step.
Dude if something donot take correct way you will only use your device as a paper clip
so ask before if you are not sure what you're doing...
Paper clip you say lmao
OK all backed up and all Unlocked, flashed EliteTWRP 3.2.1.0??

Ok, let's do the work...
With a PC create a folder on your desktop and rename as you want, may choose VNS-L31C02B346.
Download from official thread Huawei Recovery Updater v.04 and put into that folder.
Just add EliteTWRP 3.1.1-1 or whatever recovery you want ( must be for nougat/android 7 )
in order to keep custom recovery otherwise stock one will be flashed.
Now download these three .zip files
update (.zip)
update_data_full_public (.zip)
update_full_VNS-L11_vodafone_default (.zip)
on your PC and rename update_data_full_public to update_data_public
and update_full_VNS-L11_vodafone_default to update_all_hw.
Copy these renamed files into your folder together with Huawei Recovery Updater and EliteTWRP recovery.
Check that everything matches.

Hi
OK, you're ready to flash.
Copy your folder into SD card and reboot to recovery.
Tap install then find your folder, open it, tap on
HuRUpdater_0.4 then swipe for flashing.
Follow procedure into the flasher.
At the end it will reboot to system.
Probably at boot you will see some red lines, don't worry...
Press power button to skip and boot into system.
It should take many minutes, keep calm....
Do basic settings ( without any accounts ), enable developer options, then allow oem unlock and usb debugging.
Make sure your PC recognizes the phone ( let's HiSuite be installed ).
Turn off the device, connect it to your PC, and unlock again the bootloader...
Hope all will take right way and at the end
will have your latest working system ( VNS-L31C02B346 )
and EliteTWRP recovery ( if you added it in your folder )
