Yes folks,
As I said, I discovered SUPER BRICK, TOTAL BRICK, COMPLETE FAILURE or whatever yoy want to name this new brick. It has been like this: I was following the instructions to update oreo in HONOR 8 LITE, at the end I had to write some codes in twrp (advance / terminal ...) so it was starting to do the last update (sd card update.zip) and by accident I touched the screen where it appears: REBOOT, so the phone restarted but the screen is not working when it tries to enter erecovery mode, so here is the list of my problems:
- it does not work: erecovery (so I can not recover the phone)
- fastboot works: when I install something (twrp or firmware, I have tried everyone of them) the phone does not start
- if I try to go to TWRP (after installing an oreo one): the screen seems to break and you can not see anything
Please, my phone is 2 months old, man I need to make it work again, I need it.
Help help help
You should post this in Honor 8 lite forum ...
But whatever, you said that fastboot works if so you can try to use huawei update extractor and flash system,boot,recovery,cust that *should* work

I wrote it down here because it is fully compatible and there are more roms here than the honor 8 lite forum, that´s why, it was not a mistake it is because I am desperate.
I can not install BOOT, I have tried and it does not work, anyways I need help.
Thanks in advance

I finally installed BOOT properly, but the problem is that I have inside the phone OREO SYSTEM and I can not find BOOT in the updates I am downloading, as I said, once BOOT was installed, it did not work because it came form nougat.
Phone is very dead.

This may be a stupid question..
If i understood correctly, you can install Boot from nougat, right?
If so why dont you flash nougat rom again?

I have tried nougat and oreo, but nothing happens, after I install them the phone starts and suddendly it stays as the picture attached.
I tell you something: I used emui erecovery to get everything back but now it does not work anymore, my phone is dead

Im really sorry i cant help
There is a way to fix that.. but... Its too complicated and hard to do..
Since your phone is new, you probably dont want to buy new.
This is going to cost you a bit.
First you will need to find honor 8 lite or p8 lite (if you say they are the same)
that is well.. dead, open it take out a memory chip on both phone and place chip from dead phone to yours. If you dont know how to do that take it to the repair shop and they should know how to do that.
As i sad its very hard and it costs, but it works if done properly.
I saved my friends phone like that, idk what he did but phone wasnt visible in adb, fastboot and recovery didnt work just blue screen.
Note:
This needs to be done very carefully or ypur phone will be 100% dead

DC Phoenix worked fine, it's been awesome, I installed the rom and my phone is alive, I wonder: why I couldn't do it with ADB? Why this software is so powerful? And finally, why nobody is making kind of software like this for free? I mean, dc phoenix must be like the software that Huawei technicians use in their lab and samsung has ODIN that is so powerful as well and is free.
Anyway, if anybody has a problem as mine, you have to pay but it has solution. By the way, I went to tech service and they did not do anything because I bought my phone in China and they could not touch more than european phones, but they told me something that made me think that my trouble had a solution: rewrite the rom and that point convinced me that DC Phoenix would work, and so did it. Thank you all for the info.
Same for me, how to fix please. Bricked following this "guide"
https://www.haky86.com/2018/05/12/install-emui-8-0-huawei-p8-lite-2017/
I was on official Emui Nougat, wanted Oreo, forced update with nocheck, everything is broke except fastboot.
When I want to flash his OreoTWRP.img with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/img" it work but can't reboot to recovery.
I press Power + Vol+ but it reboot "phone untrusted" with Vol+ for going to eRecovery (usualy it's here you can shutdown the phone) but error mode.
Maybe the OreoTWRP work after my command but can't boot into it. Please help.

Bro my P8lite is also bricked, I accidentally wiped the EMMC then I showed it to a repairer and he somehow took me to fastboot mode, now I can't flash anything because that repairer has partitioned the EMMC and now it is showing 486mb total storage so no ROM is flashing because of size. Can you please give me your USERNAME and PASSWORD of DC Pheonix as you've already bought it. It will solve my issue and it will also save me some money.... I will be very thankful to you....
WAITING FOR A POSITIVE REPLY.
I bought it some time ago and it was a 72 hours license and it expired so I do not have anything from that situation. I will check my computer but I will not probably find anything.

Hello just looking at that pic is enough. That happens cause you installed the wrong firmware. Either get a proper nougat rom for your device and install boot, recovery and system images from fastboot or a oreo version. Either way that screen means its the wrong firmware version or wrong zone. for example you can be trying to install a europe rom in a asian device. hope this helps

Hi all, i'm new to Android Phones, so i started a few days with this phone. But now i think i've done a big mistake, i tried to erase everything from the phone, in a hope to "restore" to the factory state. Instead, i think i've deleted everything from the phone, and now, it only says "Your device is booting now..." and it doesn't boot. It's unlocked and rooted, i've deleted it from the TWRP menu.
So, is there anything that i can do, to restore it back? The model i think it's the VNS-L31, i'm downloading a firmware from the L21, can it be replaced or something like that? Thankx in advance.
*Edit* I found stock rom for my phone here in the fórum, but it says i need to have stock recovery but i have the TWRP recovery. Is there any way that i can do it, with that recovery?
*Edit 2* In Erecovery, when i try to download it says "Getting package info failed"
First of all... Why don't you have a backup in TWRP? ALWAYS back up your stuff before doing ANYTHING in TWRP.
Second: there is an option for factory reset within the EMUI system itself. Absolutely no need to mess around in TWRP for something like that. Of course you can "factory reset" in TWRP but this can also wipe your system which then requires you to flash something.
To your problem:
Since I luckily was not forced to flash a stock firmware yet, some more information would be nice.
In which format does the firmware come (link to where you downloaded it)? TWRP can handle .zip files. So if it comes as a .zip file, you can try flashing it through TWRP (really depends on what you downloaded!)
If you only need stock recovery, try accessing TWRP with your phone plugged into a PC.
This way it normally fires up the stock eRecovery.
Hi, yeah, i should have done a backup, thank you for the advice. The firmware i used is this one www .stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-marshmallow-firmware-b100/ - i found it here, and a user used it to, not sure why, but he says that it worked.
I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, because i'm new to this. The TWRP boot, but i can't get my phone to get recognized by the huawei software, not sure if it need to. Even with the drivers installed, it only connects if the phone is on the menu.

Hmm maybe best way is to send the user that made it work a PM and maybe he can provide you a guide on how to do it.
And maybe he or you can then provide a guide here on how to do it.
This device is rather new and the forum is building up so there is a lot of work to do and a lot of things have to be worked around.
Hope you can fix it, like I said, I cannot really help you properly since I never had the problem and therefore do not really understand what's happening on your device.
hi, thank you for the reply. In fact i have solved the problem few minutes ago, and was thinking on do a quick fix tutorial or something like that. Because it's really fast, just need to do the right way.
I'm really happy for the help i got in this forum, all the threads are really intersting. Going to try help others with the same problem that i had. Thank You

Always have a backup of your fresh system on TWRP. Then whatever happen just restore it whenever you think you messed up your device and you should be fine ALWAYS.
Hello everybody. Today, i managed to kill my MATE 9.
In short :
MHA-L09C435B156
I wanted to update to a newer fw. Used on forum Guide for debranding,changed oeminfo to c636, flashed with offline_update ,dload method.
It failed at 31%. Tried to fastboot flash boot,userdata,system, fastboot ok,but still bootloop.
I had no twrp full backup.
So i tried this killer method:
Unpacked Update.app with huawei firmware extractor. Created a flashable zip.Flashed in twrp. At the end,i got errors that /system; /product ; /vendor, could not be mounted.
Rebooted the system, ignoring the 'no os installed' warning.
And since then, mate 9 no sign of life.
More details?
Battery was around 45% when started playing with firmwares
Kept power button for 30sec-1 minute,nothing
Plugged charger, usb,nothing
Disassembled the phone,disconnected battery (measured it first,and it was at 3.91v - every phone needs 3.7v to start up),reconnected battery,nothing.
In usb,no message,or sound of device connected.
So,it is really dead.
SO:
Don't make flashable zip with Firmware Extractor Tool.
Anyway, any place to buy Mate 9 Motherboard?
Oh, this is sad. Where did you read to do so?
We have functional guides. They work different.
I guess this what you did, may be similar to that what happened to Luca (shield Rom) when flashing dts.img.
He send the device to Huawei and got a new one. Maybe you are lucky, because this can also happen due to a manufacture error.
My device: Mate 9 superroot, Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)
well, since there are few methods to flash mate 9, i had that 5 second idea, to use that feature in this tool.
about getting another one..no warranty. bought it second hand but sealed box.no chance to get another one.
when i have time,i will try to revive it. i work in a gsm repair shop, so i think there could be few tools capable of reading mate 9 emmc
only thing i can think of to fix it is fh, im really surprised no one has found a way to spoof huawei servers to push firmware over erecovery.
can you get into erecovery? (button up + power, when vibrates, let go of power, or button up + down + power)
@Monster.Kali,
As @virtyx stated, erecovery may be an option. Also, if you are able to connect to Huawei HiSuite, it may be a second option.
no,it doesn't make nothing.
no erecovery
no fastboot
no recovery

Really?
That's amazing.
these phones are a total waste, the partitions are stupidly relying on each other. you cant even restore from within TWRP without the entire phone breaking.
well,i had all huawei mate models since first one,until mate 9.
i was happy with them
but this one....
huawei service center in my country, finaly accepted to fix it if i agree to pay, due to not having warranty.
i wait them to receive it, so we'll see.
they said they are able to reflash it,some factory method,without changing the main board.
good !

Sir, i want to ask you, because i think you know more things than any of us about Huawei phones / firmwares / bricks
Would have been any chance to fix my hard brick mate 9 at home?
Thank you in advance
And many thanks for the others that tried to help me. Thank you all for your time.

If you plug it into the USB port of a computer and check device manager, and nothing happens, then no. You can't fix it.
ok, nothing happened when plugging in. so i'm lucky that huawei accepted it for fixing
thank you, sir
e-recovery doesnt work either way for mate 9. try holding vol down + power, while plugged into usb 3 port (not sure why usb2 doesn't work for this in vmware) but then use the hisuite.
One word @op and other pro members can I flash twrp and then phh for root? And then install custom rom.
I have warranty, in Samsung there is knox counter which detects and warranty void, is here is the same case likewise? Can I flash stock fw if dont like the custom rom.. @Tkkg1994 he is very awesome developer and also a best of the best person I know who tried his lvl best to answer and solve the each n everyone's problem but he left this device, hes working on S7/S7E.

Don't ever flash anything from huawei extractor.
I broke my device twice with this method. First I was so stupid and created a flashable zip of ALL partitions available on the firmware dump (my aim was to provide a full stock upgrade package with TWRP method). Well didn't end so well, my mate 9 was dead. Like dead forever. I sent it back and told them it suddenly didn't start after all. Well they couldn't fix it, couldn't check for unlocked bootloader, received a brand new one.
After that I thought, yeah maybe it was stupid to flash all paritions including xloader and more. So I wanted to test only with ONE file, the dts file. So I flashed it using the twrp .img flash option, rebooted. Dead. Same as you and same as me before, sent it back again, received a new one.
So that's the 3rd phone I got now, I decided to sell it. I mean what should I do with a phone that can't be rescued after a flash with one file? Nothing, I can't experiment, not test out anything otherwise it will be broken again.
Also the fact that huawei seemed to troll me about my open source requests (the wrote me back to google for the opensource kernel code) helped me to decide to ditch huawei.
You won't ever face this issues on samsung devices, not opensource requests for kernel, not for killing device suddenly. I have to say the huawei mate 9 is great if you use this device "as is" without trying to develop anything for it.
I hope I could explain you my point a bit better, I advice you to send the phone back with the same method as I did. :good:

that's sad....and disturbing for me as huawei fan. the biggest problem is the kirin processor. on snapdragons, we have qhusb, which most of time,solves any problem.
the biggest problem for me, is that i don't have warranty.
the official huawei service center in my country, accepted to fix it, after i told them that i pay any price. they told that are able to flash empty boards, like your 2 cases, and mine.
the worst part is they also mentioned pcb replacement. the phone is new, i can't find any pcb for it, so i can't refuse the fix
ok, they f***d me up.....
they wanted to replace the mainboard, at 454 eur.
i paid 505 eur for the full box sealed phone.
bye bye huawei. moving to xiaomi mi 6 plus....waiting it to be released.

Hi, guys.
Today, my OP5 decided to troll me. I was using normally him, when suddenly it started to lags pretty bad. I restarted and he continued to lags and freeze. I made a wipe cache via stock recovery (i didnt made any change at all in it, no unlocked bootloader, no root). That's when my nightmare begins. It begins to bootloop. Sometimes i was able to start the boot animation, but then it just restarts to the beginning. I tried a lot of tips, wiping cache, system, etc. Then, i left it charging. When i tried to turn on again, it worked like nothing ever happened to him. I made a backup of my personal data fast, scared to him suddenly restart again. After that, i decided to made a Factory Reset, clean up everything. When i did it, he started the lag and freezes again. I was at lost. That's was when i decided to use the official unbrick tool, to make the cleanest OP5 ever possible. I grabbed the archives from this link and followed this tutorial. When i was executing the programa, in the userdate.img, he showed a error. When i saw it, i just stopped and closed the program. Now, my OP5 is hardbricked. The only sign of life that i get from him is when i connect him at the PC. I can identify it as qualcoom 9008, but when i try to run the program, he just fail and show me error 258.
Plz, i need some orientations. I have been read things for about 10 hours and didnt found a solution. I live abroad for any oneplus tech center, and i believe, for the other posts that i read, that online tech support wouldn't help me a lot. I really don't like to make this kind of post but i am kind of desesperate. I dont have money to afford another phone
Again, sry to disturb you all. Sry if i broke some rule of the forum too. And sry for my bad english, i hope that i was able to communicate right.
EDIT: I just tried in another computer. Same error appears. :'(
Hummm why follow a Unbrick Topic with tools for ...3T ?
Maybe you have a encryption problem, all your Tools/Topic are so old for the actual versions (Oreo 8.X OOS / 8.1 OOS)
I advise to you (in the first time), to flash this TWRP (using fastboot, very simple) just follow this guide : here
If you can flash TWRP, your phone is not bricked, you will boot in TWRP:
- Format Data > tape "yes" > Reboot in TWRP
- Copy/Past xXx 10.0 ROM to test, install and xXx Rom will fix/install for you the best OOS Custom ROM for your OP5 with a great Aroma Installer.
If TWRP with this rom work perfectly, you wil able to restore a official stock OOS for sure, just flash original/stock recovery (fastboot), wipe all data/partitions, install your OOS rom and it's fine
I think @cidsantiago says they bootloader isn't unlocked.
He needs to know that unlock the bootloader implies lost all /sdcard data and also installed apps and settings) before start the TWRP install process...

I used the tools for 5. Just the procedure that i get from this topic. :T I am gonna try the method that you gave me now brb.
EDIT: Just tried this. My cellphone cant be recognized in fastboot devices. As a said, i am not getting any response for him, just when i plug it in the PC. So i wasn't able to unlock bootload or anything like that. I tried just to plug it and see if fastboot was able to identifying it, but it wasn't.

He needs to know that unlock the bootloader implies lost all /sdcard data and also installed apps and settings) before start the TWRP install process...

Wipe your device data from the stock recovery.
You loss the settings and downloaded apps but not requires to unlock the bootloader.

I can't access recovery anymore, as i said. The only sign of life that i get is when i connect it in the PC.
I guess i have to do something to restore the basics partitions of my cellphone. Like recovery, boot, etc. But i just have the official tool to do that. There is another way? Like transfering directly by the COM port?

I had the same exact problem with my old One plus One. Spent like 4 days trying to unbrick it. That msm tool did the fix for me. Also, in that link to the guide you provided, doesn't it flash the Chinese version of the OS? If that's the case, I don't think it was a good idea to do so lol

In one of the links, it had the OOS and the HOS. I tried to use the msm tool in one of them, but it didnt worked I'm gonna try the archives in this link that you gave me. It may work brb with updates.
Don't worry though, it happens to plenty of people. It happened to me as well, and everyone eventually fixes it. It is unlikely that it is a hardware problem, so just following the correct steps should get it working. Keep trying stuff out, it's very good that your computer recognizes it as a qualcomm port, as far as I know that's all you need to flash the necessary things in order for it to boot.
I am getting the same error 258 in this post. :T I posted there to see if the OP can help me. But thx for your help @Mash1ro

2 of the people had the same error as you, and one of them solved the issue by changing the USB port.

But don't use the same files and all that stuff, since that's for the 3T. Try to pick out the things that might help but use the files for the OnePlus 5 only
After try the unbrick procedure in 3 different PCs, using about 10 different USB ports, i still getting the same error in the same step. When downloading cache.img, he stuck in about mid bar, and shows me the warning: SendProgramCommand Failed, Error: 258". Besides that, he turns on the green led and stop being recognize by the PC. Then i have to hold power and turn off the green led. :T Maybe i can use a linux to access the partitions?

yeah... But it is kind of weird. He was running smoothly, until suddenly started lag and freeze. He didn't fall or any of that... I think is just a defective phone. Doesn't find another explanation to that.
I think your best option is to RMA the device through OnePlus. Since you haven't rooted it or anything, they should repair it for you.

I already contact the store that i bought to get my warranty. Unfortunately, i didn't bought it in oneplus.net, bcs they don't deliver in my country. I am hoping that everything work out
Guys, in the end, i RMA my device back to the seller and gonna have a refund Thank you for your help. So sad that this phone came faulty :T
Best regards to you all!
First of all, hello there community, all of you have already helped me so much and I really appreciate the effort that you put into this site to help guys like me out
Now onwards to my Problem:
I've had the P Smart for a couple of month when I considered using a Treble custom Rom (just to try it out and have some fun with it).
Since I didn't know how to flash GSI's I googled it and took the first step by step tutorial and followed it.
The Rom I flashed was the PixelExperience_arm64_a-8.1.0-20181015-0009-OFFICIAL.img.
Basically I flashed the rom via fastboot.
When I then realized that it wasn't quite what I expected I wanted to try out other roms.
So I went do dev-options and turned on ADB and OEM-Unlock but then... The OEM-Unlock option was greyed out.
f.
Since I came from stock I have had not yet installed TWRP.
I have searched the internet for hours and hours, day after day but I could not find a single option that could help me with my particular problem.
My current state:
- I have a rom that I do not longer want installed
- I do not have TWRP or any other custom-recovery installed
- In fastboot it says
"bootloader unlocked"
"FRP locked"
(My model is FIG-LX1 btw)
So, here I am and asking you guys for help.
Is there ANY possibility (aside from replacing the mainboard) to fix my phones current state?
Your help is really appeciated,
love y'all
kthxbye

Tried that already, it can't connect to the update server. ("Getting package info failed").
Also I tried the dload method, but none of the update files that I tried seemed to work, it either goes to 5% or says "software install failed" (or both).

So I tried that out, but firstly I couldn't find a proper OEMINFO, and secondly I don't think I could flash it, since my OEM bootloader is still locked...
As I understood HWOTA doesn't support the P Smart (yet?), and it also needs the OEM to be unlocked
And without the OEMINFO it does not seem to work

Not sure on these questions. I believe it is stock. I bought it from an acquaintance that said he was just upgrading. He showed me it working. I got it a week later and its doing this. Trying to see if its fixable before addressing him. I believe it was stock and with oreo. I just know he was saying its the new android 1 and for 2 years of updates.

Hi, you'll need to unlock the Bootloader first, which is not possible ( i think ) as Nokia does not allow this as yet, for most devices. On my 6.1 OEM unlocking is greyed out and Nokia just said stay tuned when I asked to get an unlock key. Can you get into Fastboot mode - hold Vol down and power ( while you have a usb connected to power / pc )??
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-61-plus/fastboot-mode/
It might be worth trying a factory reset FIRST, which could work.. follow this - https://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-61-plus/recovery-mode/

I tried all of this in the youtube video I posted. is like it doesnt have a boot loader information on it. It seems as thought there is zero software in there excpept for the android one screen and the amount of battery life when its off. When not plugged in I get absolutely zero response from the phone, even though its 100% charged. Is there a way I can put something on a memory card and try to access it from there into boot mode, or maybe use some software to access the phones internals to install through a computer usb?

Sorry I missed that, I thought you had to be doing something wrong. I've never been in this sort position & I've been flashing phones for years,anyway, I'm a bit lost as to what to do next. Without a care centre to help, i can not find any other way to get that phone to boot. As every method I know and have read about, requires an unlocked bootloader and or getting into download mode or the recovery. The Nokia online service tool (ost), requires an unlocked bootloader to flash firmware. Also if the PC does not recognise the phone is another issue.
I will keep looking into how to correct this issue & if I find anything, I'll let you know.
This maybe worth reading, as it may hold a solution

I have been reading, others are reporting, getting into recovery mode can be difficult.
When phone is on connect with USB cable to PC. Turn phone off, immediately press volume up button after this. Wait for the little Android to appear. Press power + volume down to access the recovery menu. -> this might take a few tries cause you have to be really precise, but this was the same on my Nexus 5X.
When you have time and patience, could you try to get into recovery again.
