Hey guys!
I recently decided to try CM11 for this awesome device and I was extremely impressed by it.
One foolish thing that I did was that I didn't create the nandroid backup of my EMUI 3.0 version B380 rom. So, I tried to revert back using the 3 button method(creating dload folder and pasting update.app).
But for the life of me I could not get it to work!! I tried following
1) Straight away pressing 3 buttons but it failed.
2) installing stock recovery using multi-tool. Tried all recoveries (for my l04) still failed.
3) removing ext sd and creating dload in internal. But it couldn't even find the update this time!
So, I was browsing through forum and came across this post thanks to @Julsen1985 , @ thermalboyz
1) Use "B608" and flash via fastboot: (Extract using Huawei Update Extractor) Put into adb folder and manual flash from CMD.
- fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
- fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
- fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
- fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
- fastboot flash cust CUST.img
- fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
2) Reboot phone

Just download the B370 version from OP of cm11 and follow the exact procedure mentioned above. When you open command terminal, give command "adb reboot bootloader" and start flashing
U might have to factory reset as it shows incorrect user available memory. Then u may proceed for the B380 incremental update.
Also thanks to @worstenbrood for extractor and @VirusPlus for multi-tool .
Hope this helps!

The flashing with 3 buttons, after installing with fastboot, takes forever to load at the end. Is it just stuck or is this normal?

It worked once for me, while going back to stock from L01 firmware.
I just restarted to fastboot and did the "unbrick" option with Multi-Tool. After that, it just rebooted straight to EMUI 3.0.
Got it rooted with stock recovery now.
Thanks for your tutorial!

The Multi-Tool also guides you through the whole process, after "unbricking" , so it's kinda noobfriendly. After that, 3 buttons should work normally, I used the 3 Buttons before, so it just rebooted to EMUI, because it only rewrites BOOT, SYSTEM, RECOVERY and the CUST partitions.

You don't have to go through B608, just download B370 and extract all *.img and reflash them with fastboot.
I did the "unbrick" option with MultiTool and after that restarted with vol-,vol+ and power to flash it from sdcard via UPDATE.APP.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. If u have l04 version, then u have to download the b370 version. The quote was from a different post by a member.
I did miss as you say with multi-tools and perfect.
many thanks for the cooperation:good::good::good::good::good:
My L02 don't seem to accept any rom files i flash over usb after going back from miui to stock if you would have a look on my thread and point to the missing element that I can't seem to figure after working over 20 hrs on the phone trying to revive it

Hi guys massive android noobie here!
I really hope you guys can help me cause I am desperate!
This is what happened: I tried to manually update my phone B200 to B313. I had no luck with the update.zip so I tried the update.app (superstupid). As you guys might know, this resulted in a bootloop.
I downloaded Huawei firmware extractor and adb. I have two problems on top of a not working phone:
1: when i try to extract my firmware i just get a system.img, no boot.img or the other one you need
2: i managed to unlock my bootloader, but whenever i use adb devices it stays empty, fastboot reboot works though... weird
How do I get my lovely device working again?
Kind regards,
Jurgen
Flash B200 again with 3 button method, should work
Extract zip files and copy update.app on SD card, in dload folder

I tried to do something similar, although I screwed it up even further. Prior to attempting this entire process, I was using GRA-L09 build B171. After attempting to install B317 from B171, I got stuck in a bootloop between the Huawei logo and TWRP. I realized that my mistake was probably because I had TWRP instead of the stock ROM. Therefore, I downloaded the B170 full firmware and extracted the B170 files. I tried to use fastboot to flash boot.img system.img and recovery.img according to bihsik's guide, but fastboot could never recognize my device. So I decided to be "smart" and transfer Boot.img and recovery.img from the B170 firmware to my dload folder on my external sd card on the phone and install them directly from TWRP.
This screwed everything up, and now I'm stuck in Rescue Mode with "Error! Func NO : 11 (recovery image) Error NO : 2 (load failed!)"
I've searched google and XDA forums and have tried the methods here and here but without any luck.
Is there a way to fix my phone?

Just be Care full in choosing the Firmware , if your firmware doesn't match , then the 3 Button method will stop at 5%.
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

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?

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

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

Thanks for your answers and your help. The first method is not working, if I press all three buttons together, my phone just restarts and the Huawei Boot Sign shows up again.

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).

No, only the first (1.7gb).

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?

If I try to do a factory reset in eRecovery it stops at 10 % and shows me a " ! ".
I could format chache, but afterwards my Bootloop problem is still not solved ...

Since I couldn't manage to rescue my beloved Smartphone, I now sell it on eBay. The Phone is in Germany, but I would send it to other cities in Europe for transportation costs of extra 10 EUROS. If you are interested and like to bid, here is the Link:

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.
I need to remove twrp recovery and install stock recovery image
How I can do this gra ul10
Hello! You would be willing to change the ROM?
Uh oh. This reminds me 1 year ago when I had your same problem . The process is simple:
1. Get the UPDATE.APP file wich is no more than all the stuff for the P8 wich includes the recovery. You should find it on emui.huawei.com
2. To see what's in there you need a tool called "Huawei Update Extractor". Just look for it
3. You do the same process for installing TWRP but with the image file "recovery.img"
And you're done
PS. Do a full backup with TWRP just to be sure. To restore it just reflash TWRP and use the restore function
You could flash the original recovery via fastboot if you have a backup of it as raw image.
Or well what @Rome7643 mentioned works also. I submitted a profile for the gra-l09 for the update extractor.
command is like "fastboot flash recovery <path/to/recovery.img>"
There is recovery and recovery2. One of them comes up when usb is connected one when it is not connected when triggering the recovery boot.

Download the UPDATE.APP from a recent stock rom, use the Huawei Update Extractor, then flash the recovery/recovery2 partition with the recovery.img/recovery2.img.
Like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in fastboot mode.
This will only override recovery.
Note that recovery and recovery2 is the same but one triggers only when the usb cable is connected.

I seem to be having the same problem. In the update.app I dont see the recovery.img file. Instead there are 3 files
recovery_ramdis
recovery_vendor
recovery_vbmeta
please advise.

Please, next time you should be more careful when downloading the file UPDATE.APP or update.zip ! I guess you downloaded one from Huawei P9, but for sure it's not for Huawei P8 !
After you unpack update.app there should be RECOVERY.img and RECOVERY2.img along with others partitions images.
Good luck !
