I also had the same issue like you did.
I re-wrote everything into a FAQ. IF there's a problem anywhere, just reply in your thread. If its solved then the walkthrough is useful. If it doesn't get solved we'll just add your issue into the list and troubleshoot until it works.

wait. wait. wait.(on the screen)
1. 1/2 updating
2. 2/2 updating
3. big tick
4. restarting.
then it should restart. again, and again, and again. and it will continue to bootloop until it actually boots up successfully for the first time. Please remove battery, plug in usb cable then only perform the upgrade (YES, WITHOUT THE BATTERY!)
Tell me if it works this way.
Or, is the problem that is something like this:
1. Huawei logo shows
2. Huawei logo with some firework animation, then slows down, then complete freeze, then again reboot? and same thing happen?
erm, add on: i forgot.
Let's assume you have done all of the above, but the ROM again crashes spectacularly on its own... try doing this.
1. Remove battery
2. plug in usb cable.
3. press power ON and volume up button
it should be no more blue screen but a *<3E>* recovery.

i had cwm before but once i formatted boot and did the steps said by baidiyee it got replaced by default huawei recovery.....and ya my phone is not detected by my pc in that pink screen.

Right, stay calm, this is easy to fix. Im not in pc so you need to do all work. Turn your phone in punkscreen mod after right click on my computer and click in tje second option (i dont remember the name :-s manage I think). On that window click on manage devience. Now on the line apears outher deviences look for android devience or huawei, right click and click update driver (on the first option)
I think after that you are ready to install the new recovery
I will fo rest for now I will wait a few mins for your reply and I will go sleep I'm tired with you don't fix your problem I promise you, tomorow I will help you

Change firmware from A to G - meizu pro 5

Hello,
I tried many guides on web for changing the firmware from 5.1.2.0A to 5.1.2.0G without any luck.
The phone goes in bootloop and the only way to restore it is to flash again the original 5.1.2.0A firmware.
Could someone please suggest me a good guide or give me a good hint?
Thanks much!

1. turn off device
2.Press VOLUME UP+POwer key, (press Power until you see logo, VOLume UP until you go in Recovery)
3. Connect phone to computer,the computer determined removable disk Recovery, empty volume of 998 MB
4. Copy the firmware in the drive and disconnect the phone
5. DON'T Reboot!! JUST select the firmware update. You can do it without wipe data. Click Start (retry, many may be different)
6. After flashing the phone is turned on again. If root was included - will again include.

hello..
is that work on meizu pro 5?

Converting the phone from A to G isn't as simple as the classical firmware upgrade. The version is checked and flash is denied if not the same (A =>A only)
Look at this tutorial and use method 2 or 3 : https://meizufans.eu/forum/topic/25...ional-firmware-on-your-chinese-mainland-meizu
It's fine for A=>G or A=>I

Didn't worked for me
I'm the owner of a meizu pro 5 runing Flyme 5.1.2.0A and none of these two methods worked for me. When I run the terminal commands both on phone or computer, it seems to do something, but when I reboot the phone always go to bootloop, and the only way to use it again is flashing the A version of the frimware again via recovery.

Assuming you applied the correct commandline, you have to wait several minute (about 10) to the dd=xxxxx process end. Prompt should appears when OK.

Yes, I know. The command line says the process has finished, then the phone is inresponsibe (As it has to, following the explanation on the meizufans web tutorial). Is only then when I reboot my phone and enter to bootloop.

After flash, you can try to reboot in recovery (volup+power), clear data and then reboot normaly. First restart is a bit longer but you knows it already.
PS: did it a week ago with lastest G, without trouble

Thank you for your help. I would try it!

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.

[Guide] Fix for boot-loop and bricked Honor 8 (probably others too)

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

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?

Same problems as other people above, couldn't load any recovery. Anyone can help us out?

Hi even I have the same problem with Honor 8 Pro.. Did you get any solution??

Hi even I have the same problem with Honor 8 Did you get any solution??

I need the assistance of XDA wizards on recovering a poor students p9 lite

I'm in dire need of immediate assistance. I had previosly rooted my phone with this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701 and unlocked the bootloader. Long story short I made the decision to unroot and lock the booloader. Now im faced with a bootloop and this error message: https://imgur.com/a/ksz1kYY
I can't afford to lose this phone. If someone can help me recover this phone I can even throw in an extra 20$. The phone isn't recognised by pc and thus I cant run adb commands.

Sadly due to huawei becoming the new apple, you can't do anything to restore it, unless you pay for a new motherboard.
If you are lucky enough, drain the battery until the phone no longer boots then charge it. You will have a very small chance for the device to boot and from there unlock the bootloader. If it can't boot up, then try it many times until it no longer boots in error mode.
The error means that the recovery mode cannot check if the device is valid or not, thus locking the device from unwanted access. I hope you get it fixed

Hello, already tried to boot directly in fastboot mode ?
If not, turn off the device then connect it to cpu.
Press and hold vol - and power button until it boot.
Once booted ( hope so ) open adb/fastboot command and see if works now... :fingers-crossed:

Would try this but the device doesn't exactly turn off. Holding down the power button just shuts it down for a second and then it boots automatically back. And can you explain what you mean by connecting it to cpu?

I took my phone to a repair shop and I just got it back from there. They said that the phone just turned on like regular, and it appeared to be working so they didn't charge me for a repair. I rebooted to check if they actually had done anything but the error came up once more. I guess the battery had run out and it turned on when they charged it? If I run out the battery again and charge it will it turn on again? If so, what should I do once I'm able to boot? I still can't access the recovery from there to try anything.
EDIT: I'm waiting for the phone to run out of battery again

Let it run out of battery and try to boot it into the rom. From there try to use firmware finder to reinstall your rom.

I've tried several times now to let it run out of battery and try to boot it into fastboot, but every time I'm unsuccessful and it boots up regularly. I've tried holding power + vol- and power + vol- + vol+ and every combination of those. Not sure how to proceed since running adb command -adb reboot bootloader but that just ends up getting me to the same error screen. I don't know what I can do. Is it possible to flash the stock recovery and rom without fastboot?

Do not use adb or anything else.
Use firmware finder from Google play. Huawei has it's own eRecovery which is used for updates (OTA), so you shouldn't worry.
If you want to flash stock recovery, simply extract the update file and get the recovery.img, then flash it. It's a long method and hard to explain. Google it. Success

Yeah but the thing is I can't flash anything without getting into fastboot.

How do I use firmware finder? I can download a update.app and something but those need to be flashed via fastboot right?
EDIT: Just tried to use firmware finder and update via proxy. I'm not able to get an update to show up despite multiple tries. Feels like I'm running out of options here.

Download the update file using firmware finder, put the update into your sd card (update.app), dial *#*#2846579*#*#, press update then wait.

You mean *#*#2846579#*#* ? It brings up a selection but the one ending in *#*# dorsn't. Software upgrade option said that it didn't find an update file. The factory reset option tries to reboot and then the error shows up again.

I got software upgrade to recognize the file but when I tried to update it just reboots back into error mode.

It's hard for me to explain how to fix it. Idk why it doesn't work to you. Have you tried going to a service and ask them to fix it for you?

Yeah I guess getting the mainboard replaced is the only thing I can do now. Should I go to a Huawei service center or a regular phone repair shop? Thanks for all your help.

If you have the warranty tell them you got a bad update and it will fix them for free (there were cases where you would get bad updates via OTA, so you are covered)
If not, then a third party store but you will have to pay cash
