[fix] Huawei Honor 4x (CHE-L04) stucked at Honor logo { RECOVERY FIX FOR HONOR 4X }

Recently there was an issue with Honor 4x users who updated from KitKat (emui 3.0) --> Lollipop (emui 3.1) version due to some server issues(might be too many downloads at same time because of many many users of Honor4X in India) This is actually due to a corrupted recovery and flashing a new recovery might solve the issue.
To solve the issue HONOR 4X stucked at Honor logo ,i have an easy solution for all those users: Please download and extract the software package from below official path(around 35MB file)

Upgrade needs stock recovery to be installed and I don't think tha TWRP is stock

booted to twrp instead of the stock emergency recovery? try using huawei update extractor and get all the .img files and fastboot flash all the .img files. the method is pretty much the same as fixing my own Che2-L11. once you flashed all the .img files, yes. it will not boot. but, you can access the emergency recovery menu (the menu that allows you to scan and would allow reparing via wifi). IF you can get to this menu, then youre ok good to go for forced upgrade via microsd. just make sure you are using the latest version available your your region. IF it didnt work, you have to fallback by fastboot flash the kitkat version of update.app and force upgrade with that kitkat update.app file. then when its fully booted to language screen, proceed normally as you would a hard reset all phone, then use the usual lolipop, next mellow official update.app file. then, your typical twrp, magisk, and more.

Restore baseband and imei to make sim work again

Hello everyone.
I rooted my phone (os was marshmallow) with android lollipop procedure, so i soft bricked the phone.
I flashed with fastboot various versions of huawei p8 lite firmware, all of these were 5.0.1.
When I managed to unbrick my phone I found out that it can't read the sim, so I looked in settings and IMEI and BASEBAND were disappeared.
Probably direct downgrade from marshmallow to lollipop caused this.
By the way, I managed to solve all my problems.
I will write what I've done here. I hope will be helpful. To start: my model is ALE-L21 (Single Sim).
- Download B041c (if you search in google you will find various results, all taking to the same site). I'll explain this better after *
- Flash with fastboot B041c
- Download B133 (this is very easy to find, but if you have problems search in a site called carbontesla)
- Unpack B133 dload folder (you will find custom folder too, don't worry about it) and put dload folder in the root of your sdcard
- Go to Settings -> Updater -> Local Update and start B133 update. Phone will boot. The upgrade process should be done with phone chargend and unplugged from PC.
- At some points update could appear stucked (for me was at 15% and 85%) but be hopeful and it will continue (let be patient).
- Phone will boot and your sim after 4-5 seconds will work again!
* B041c is hard to find. At this time only one site have it. I can't link you this site, because the downloader you get from this site installs adware on your pc while it download B041c. I have had to solve my problem so I proceded at my own risk.
Updater will notify you about the update to B183. It doesn't worked to me! If you want to update your phone you can install firmware B171 and install it as update (in dload folder)
UPDATE TO MARSHMALLOW
- If you want to update your phone to marshmallow you have to download other two firmwares (B171 and the MM you want. I used B551)
- Put the dload folder of B171 in your sd card, turn off your phone and force flash (VOLUP + VOLDOWN + POWER buttons). It may appear stucked at 19% and 85%. Don't worry, be patient!
- When phone boot is completed, put dload folder of your MM firmware in your sdcard, turn off the phone and force upgrade (VOLUP + VOLDOWN + POWER buttons). It will take 15-20 minutes.
- When installation is completed and phone boots, turn it off again, enter in recovery mode (VOL UP + POWER button) and clear data and cache.
- Now you have a clean install of MM! However, some applications may be old (play store). If you have connected our phone to a network, play store will update automatically
SOLVE BALONG BUG
You can find easliy the solution in the forum. But to be a complete guide and make your life a lot way easier here is the solution.
Simply put UPDATE.APP of custom folder that you can find in some firmware (I used B049 custom folder) in your sd card and then update from settings or from force update. Is a 20KB file so it will be very fast to install

Downgrade to Marshmallow

Hello Friends, I just upgraded my Zenfone 3 ze520kl to Nougat, but i prefer Marshmallow i try from recovery mode to flash Marshmallow, it shows error and the installation aborted. Can any one help . Thanks.

What error does it show?

Error with some numbers follows by 'install aborted'. I unable remember the error numbers. I did three times all the time with same remark.Thanks.

That's not very helpful. Can you try it again and tell us exactly what it says?

Hi,
I downgraded a few days ago, here's an overview of the steps.
WARNING, this requires a factory reset so you will lose the data on the phone, so make sure you have backups before you proceed. You do this at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damages.
I assume you have adb / drivers all configured and know to how use them.
1) download firmware file http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE520KL/UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-13.20.10.152-user.zip and save to SD card / insert card in phone.
2) download recovery and boot img files for Z017D_WW_13.20.10.152
- https://mega.nz/#F!ok0V0RIA!5WKtHe98opzjVI3NPbM7Ww
- under the folder Z017D_WW_13.20.10.152
3) Go to fastboot mode (power + vol up)
- flash recovery.img (command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
- flash boot.img (command: fastboot flash boot boot.img)
4) reboot to recovery (power + vol down)
5) install update form micro sd card.
set the file UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-13.20.10.152-user.zip that you saved earlier
6) wipe cache
7) factory reset
If you don't do a factory reset and reboot, Android pretty much crashes on multiple processes on start up, it is unusable.
Regards,
TK

Warning- No file-contexts. This package is for "ww-phone" devices, this is a E:error in /side load/ package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.

Same thing happened to me as well. I just went ahead to flash the RAW file (http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2016/12/asus-zenfone-3-raw-firmware-and-asus.html) and updated the software to the latest marshmallow update, followed by a factory reset.

If we Downgrade
Then we get update in future yes or no??
Sorry for bad English??

Yes.

Hi, thanks for the help. Please answer this:
Do I need to use Recovery and Boot.img the same version of ROM? Why?
Why do I need to install Boot.img?

Hardest Bricked my P10 Plus. Can't even turn my phone off.

However, if you are watching this, it means ur phone is bricked with huawei p10 lite/p10/p10 plus
Read the replies and follow the instruction noted by @Blackball and his links.
Then you will find you self a way to restore the phone.
Thanks again to @Blackball and rest of you guys, much appreciated for your help.

What on earth is Yoroot?

So, You can't enter fastboot mode am i right ?
Do you connect usb cable to your devices before press Vol- and Power button ?

Current Situation
After the battery was dead, i actually can enter the fastboot and i used TWRP 3.1.1 for huawei P10 Plus from github. double wiped my device and by far i have entered the system normally.
However, the ROM wasn't official and i lost my warranty for unlock my huawei phone. And the custom service from Huawei said that they don't provide any official ROM Since it's Android 7.0 .
This ROM is really crappy that i can't delete/uninstall any Application i installed.(It gets reboot everytime i try to and the Application is still there even i just tried to Delete/Uninstall).
Worst of all, some options does not work properly in "Option" menu . (For example i can't access to "Developer mode" that everytime i press it it tabbed back to the former menu.)
I really hate this crappy menu so i tried to search on the internet for P10 Plus ROM so far i get B133 update ROM i can find and i tried to install it from SDcard by pressing VOL - and VOL + and Power buttom.
It says failed to update system at 5% while updating/recoverying the system.
and the ROM which i'm using was found in HUAWEI's official fan forum from Club.Huawei.com a forum belongs in china.(Rooted rom B140).
Right now seems the only option for me is to find a better ROM than this .(At least won't get me so many bugs like this one .:crying: )
and Thanks for your comment "Bigbearxl" it worked as normally it should after the battery was dead then i recharged it.
Yet Right now the PC doesn't recognize the device though Via-Usb because it's not Huawei official ROM and Hisuite helper only recognize their own ROM and the rest Phone helper or ADB can't recognize the device while The Phone is Booting normal .
And Reply to "Craphead" Yoroot is a special Root tool for Huawei P10/P10 plus made by chinese from Huawei Fan Club forum.

New Update
After rewrited boot.img though fastboot mode from https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/help/root-huawei-p10-p10-t3589946 thanks to "yury_z, " i can start to delete files with current system, but it's still crappy that it doesn't even have camera
So i think i will try dload method to recovery my phone with firware that i found in forum.

Failed
Looks like i have to stock with that bit longer
dload with update.app method failed. and recovery TWRP install missing md5.
Unless i get System.img or i guess i can't get another system.:crying:

This work for P10plus too

Maybe you could also try installing stock firmware with funkyhuawei, it's not for free though. But dload method never works on P10/plus unfortunately.

thanks @Blackball and @Craphead. i checked both of your method but didn't work and this new twrp 3.1.0 i downloaded displayed sd card 0mb. and i followed poster's step and missing one file.
However i might found a useful Thead that might work and i'm gonna try tonight.

That is what I wrote.
It seems that firmware finder work for P10/plus now.

@Blackball not sure you what you mean by that, do you mean that you can actually use it to install firmware on p10/p10 plus now? If so how did they manage to get around the authentication issue?

I debranded my phone from L09 to L29 DualSim with this guide. It work with moded stock recoverys.

well i tried your method but there were some file that can't be downloaded from that post so i used another and,eventhough with complete files, the method i posted and i was going to use it tonight. Failed.
did all the steps from update.bat indicated and all worked fine till the last step that it says " automaticly install system" and the phone shows error at recovery.(similar to dload method because it automaticly create dload and exact those ROM files)
it indicates a big red " ! " sign and stopped. basicly i'm back to "No System Status"
The only method wowrks for my "P10 Plus" is " flash system system.img " method.
yet i don't know how to exact system.img boot.img recovery.img etc from those stock firmware like those chinese.
i have some of their rewrote roms (it's crappy because i has no default camera and it's for chinese P10 Plus A.K.A VKY_L29) .
Yet i can't find any System.img on google by far.

I haven't tried your Firmware Finder method , i think i can install crappy system.img then try your Firmware Finder method.
Because right now i wiped my system and i'm without system :crying:

Guys This Thead https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315547
tells you how extract flashable rom files from firmware update.app.
It should work but i only made to Unknownfile XX .img and i can't download his script "HuaweiFinder" from his google drive.

Holy Crap it worked, i Extracted system.img and other img from update.app by some Chinese scripted unpack script. and I'm trying to restore my device though fastboot mode with adb.

well just tried your method and at last step it says installing failed. then i reboot entered rec mode choose wipe/factory reset
wiped till 50% and stopped, it can't factory reset.
Before this method fastboot mode was " Phone unlock " " Bootloader unlock."
Now it's just "Phone unlock"

now i'm stuck at boot loop "your device is booting now" then it rebooted and back to "your device is booting now" again then automaticly goes to Erecovery mode. I have to shutdown device for now and hope i can find some solution tomorrow :S

When you try this :

It's important that you have the 3 zip files from your wanted firmware and rename them correctly. Don't mix with another firmwares.

it shows a big "!" sign at the last step . i did everything it tells and tried both sdcard&script way to flash twice both rebrand&same brand update.
after the failure i can't enter "Vol +" and "Vol -" and "Power button" to do dload method . When i try to do that it just goes in Recovery mode.
In recovery mode i tried to wipe data/factory reset. It stopps at 50% which is after wipe and starting to factory reset at 50% it failed.
i try to flash in system.img and boot.img yet i still can not enter the system and stuck at bootloop.
