how to recover?

Since I lost everything from the boot to the recovery to the system part to anything, i haven't been able to boot the phone;
I can access erecovery but when I try to recover the phone it stops at downloading and then says couldn't connect to servers so that's dead;
I can access TWRP but when I try to flash MM, it returns errors saying that it couldn't mount partitions (Vendor, cust and other...)
I can access fastboot mode. Some people suggested that I should try recovering using dload but the transfert rate to the sd card is taking forever;
Now I extracted everything from update.app using huawei firmware extractor (see http://imgur.com/MWeCCXi ) what should I flash (via fastboot) and in what order?
I would really appreciate the help.

Flashing cust and system returned failes
For cust: (failed remote: partition error)
For syst: (failed remote: sparse flash write failure)

Since I was running nougat before messing up the phone, it had to be System and Boot extracted from the nougat update

By Nougat I assume you mean the file that has been digged out somewhere in the web and that is floating around here in the forums?
Well we all don't really know what this build exactly is, which makes it very hard to reconstruct your errors and give you advice... I would never flash that but okay, that's why we are here
Do you have a TWRP backup that you can restore (and if no, maybe somebody can upload you a clean TWRP restore file)?
Have you tried flashing CM / AICP?

Indeed, the same build that was floating in here.

Thanks for your support anyway.

Hi there. Earlier I spent a few painful hours in the same boat you were in. I've managed to get back to a fresh install of the Nougat build from this thread, but can't seem the downgrade to MM using the (translated from Spanish) instructions found here (linked from that first thread). How did you manage to get back to MM?
(I should add that I tried to flash boot, system and recovery via fastboot without any success).
Cheers

May god have mercy on your soul.
For the downgrade, I didn't use the b161 directly. I flashed some oeminfo provided in the same folder as the TWRP. Then used b150 ans the three boutons method. Worked like a charm.
Hope it will help you downgrade your phone.

I have the same problem, someone could explain it to me step by step, please

P9 Lite bricked (L31)

Hi, my problem is with the L31,
I've trying to downgrade from Nougat to MM. I saw on the thread this steps and i followed:
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img (This one is in the second zip from badwolf nougat download)
Then I flashed badwolfs recovery b2 as that one lets me transfer files from pc to phone and followed instructions from htcmania from here".
The problem is that i didn't reach to downgrade and when i try to reinstall Nougat by TWRP i get this error messages:
" E: Unknow comand (errno) update_huawei-pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed"
"Updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/DLoad/Update.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done"
Now my phone stays freeze on the huawei logo and the flashtool doesn't even recognize my device.
Can someone help me with this matter, please?

To flash img. i used the file that i attached.
Good luck

so now i restored twrp , i put the update app in sd card and it doesn't want to flash , i'm still trapped in bootloop but i have access to twrp now what to do now ?

I found the old twrp is okey for downgrade,
Just put b161 update.app into sdcard/dload and press volume down + power key.
but flash badwolf's twrp will get stuck in fastboot, though It's not really bricked.

hi, maybe you also have a solution for my problem.
i installed a wrong update via sd card (dload etc.), now my phone is just black no signal nothing. and it seems like a fastboot loop always when i plug into the pc im in fastboot without doing anything
when i try to unlock the bootloader i get "failed command not allowed")
and also when i try to flash the extracted files from update.zip i get the same error ("failed command not allowed")
by the way i didnt active usb debuggin or oem unlocking
please help thank you

Persist partition not flashing...

Hey, I need to flash a persist.img file, because my phon restarts every 2 Minutes and does not find any WiFi, but it gives me out the error: remote:Error : persist partition not allowed download. Is there a way to flash it without twrp, since when I try to flash a custom recovery, it says partition table not found. Is there a way to flash persist.img in Mi Flash Tool?

Don't have Twrp, can't flash custom recovery, it says partition table does not exist

boot to fastboot and
give the command
fastboot boot twrp.img
instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

twrp error 1 with lineage update

This appears. I can not find anything on the internet and I do not know what to do.

Good evening,
please be patient. DLoad and extract with 7zip the firmware from here. Extract the firmware again. Now you have the original boot.img from MIUI.
In Fastboot flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

If above method won't work, re-download the rom file, this seems corrupt.
Next time try to fresh flash the rom instead of ota, some ota are broken and would have some issue like this.

which of those rom? the first one, 8.1 almost destroyed the system (with the boot.img) and I had to put the boot.img back from the twrp backup, so which link is right?
Edit: I think, indeed, I'm sure I need the boot.img of the rom that I have or lineage, but I do not know how to extract it from the zip.

Hi,
okay. I think the best way is you flash first the original Firmware from here with Xiaomi Flash Tool. DLoad and install on your PC. DLoad and read this Site.
Now you have the original Firmware installed. Go to settings, about the Phone, Buildnumber. Tab 7 times on it and than go to the Developer. Open OEM and US-Debugging. Reboot into Fastboot. In ADB/Fastboot write "fastboot devices" and your device must recogniced. Than write "fastboot oem unlock". After this you get a reboot to system. Now look again iin settings, devoloper if oem and usb-debugging on. Reboot in fastboot your Phone. Now write again "fastboot devices". Is everythink okay than write "fastboot boot recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img". Now you have twrp installed. In twrp flash the twrp-recoveryinstaller-3.2.1-2-oreo.zip. After this you can flash your favoryte Custom Rom. Good Luck :good:

unpack your firmware, extract stock recovery.img and flash it.

But for flashing do I need to unlock bootloader or it can be done without unlocking?

As far as i remember to flash partitions with stock firmware you don't need unlocked bootloader.

If it needs to flash recovery the same way as we do for custom roms like fastboot flash recovery in platform tools then i tried that doesn't work to make it work bootloader needs to be unlocked I did that(unlocked the boot loader) then flashed stock recovery and it worked but after locking the boot loader with fastboot oem lock same issue happened again couldn't boot into recovery.

To flash ANY partitions, u must unlock bootloader even if the partition is critical or not. And to prevent the boot/recovery image damaged error, u must flash stock boot/recovery images along with vbmeta.img ( also extracted from stock, same build ).

Hello, tell me that your recovery cannot decrypt the date section? I need to extract data from the phone, the phone won't boot into the system, I tried to boot into your recovery but I can't access the folders.

This is simply Stock Recovery with ADB enabled bro. It only can help u in some tasks which need to access adb via Recovery, it won't help to decrypt ur device and/or have any functions as other custom recovery
