Dear all,
This is my 1st post in XDA developers. And this is the first time I use Android system on a smart phone named Huawei Honor U8860. I learnt from websites and I know how to install ClockWorkMod. After installed stock rom from Huawei China (China site). I found out that I can't install any rom after that (always Update Failed). So I decided to format all the thing on my phone by using ClockWorkMod (/boot, /sdcard, etc...) and now my phone starts on blue screen and I realized that there is no image folder on the folder (the folder that you put recovery-v8.img file to setup ClockWorkMod). Now what do I have to do to bring back the recovery or someone please send me the image folder and guide me how to install rom for the phone since there is nothing left in my phone!
Regards,
Paul
Download orginal GB 2.3.6 from international Huawei site.
Make dload folder on root in memory card and put the UPDATE.APP (some ROMs also have UPDATE_CUST.APP, don't leave it out) inside the folder
Start up phone with volume up/down pressed while pressing power button.

I tried, and it seems while installing the package, the update failed, what's wrong with my phone? I did not have any problem when I upgraded my firmware before the time I use the stock rom from China
What error?
hi, i can help you
download this:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEyODk=
install as a normal upgrade, than, installl any offycial rom and you have your honor fixed
This rom is the exactly rom that make my phone stuck in this situation, so do I have to install it back on my phone? Install the rom back to the one that harm me then apply this update?
@DeuXGod: Update Failed while installing firmware after unpacking
no, you have to install the file that i posted first, than install the rom! the file is the fix provided by the huawei for the failure updating of the original roms! flash the file first, and than, flash the rom!
edit: if not work, try this other : https://rapidshare.com/#!download|309p5|4238175827|UPDATE.rar|0 , unpack rar, make a dload folder in the sd card, put here the update app, and flash like a stock rom, later, install the official one
Thank you Paul! Now I find the solution for this, at first, if you installed the 2.3 Chinese rom that post on Huawei China (the first 2.3 rom posted on 2012-03-08)
It will prevent you from install ANY OTHER roms, so if you want to install another rom, there is an update patch for this one (the one that paul89... has posted above).
After that you can freely install any official/stock rom on Huawei Devices.
And for the users that format everything(/boot, /sdcard, /system, etc...) and your phone show up as a blue screen instead of pink screen when u press the power button (yeah there is no image folder in recovery partition).
Download the 2.3 stock rom from Huawei China (above)
Get your SD card out of the phone, using the USB/SD card converter tool to plug it to ur PC as an USB, copy the rom (dload folder in the zip) to the card.
After that, plugin your SD card to your phone, then press Volume + - and Power and the phone will go straight into upgrade firmware.
Then use the Paul89 patch that I've shown above, copy the dload folder to your SD, remember to delete the old one, use storage upgrade function of your Android to apply the patch. And now ... you can freely jailbreak the prison of stock Huawei China rom
And sorry for not linking your URL, this forum always ask me for the Image Verification even I Multi Quote ur replies
for nothig if i can, i help
SUTL?
Maybe a bit late, but in my experience, using SUTLR to flash ROMs (official/custom) works the best. It overwrites & updates everything (i.e. if you have CWM, it will be overwritten) and you will have the phone just like you got it from the dealer.
SUTLR? what is this tool?
-edit: googled, software update tool.. ok, but its only for official roms?
Dear rammy,
This is the first time I use android system on the phone and I found out that it's much complicated comparing with iPhone and I don't know any tool to use with it

You can use it for any ROM that comes in .nb0 format. Since most custom ROMs are in .zip format you can use it mostly for official ROMs. However, there are other custom ROMs (such as on andro-id.net) which come in the .nb0 format.

1. SUTL is quite simple to use. You can download it from the net (latest version is v1.8.2). Install it (works only with Windows) and you are ready to use the application.
2. To use SUTL to flash your ROM, boot your phone in download mode (i.e. where you have the message - Incoming Download Mode polling) when you boot.
3. Connect your phone via USB cable to your PC. The device will get recognized and Windows will attempt to open the folder (similar to when you insert a pen drive). You can close this window
4. Start SUTLR. Click on next and using the Browse button, navigate to the .nb0 file. The file must be named firmware.nb0. Click on next and the screen shows the progress of ROM installation. DO NOT DISCONNECT TILL COMPLETION
5. Once the ROM is installed, you need to remove the battery to come out of download mode. Restart the phone and the new ROM will start up.
Note: Please take backup of data and/or ROM (including recovery.img). SUTLR will replace everything (i.e. it will even unroot the phone if you flash an official ROM)
Hope this helps. I am also a beginner and this "guide" is based on other posts as well as my experience.
yes, but the isnt .NB0 roms for our u8860..and offycial rom are not .nb0, but .img..so how do you have installed offycial rom in your honor?

[ROM][Official Beta][7D-503L & 7D-501u][Lollipop 5.1.1][EMUI 3.1][C208B011SP05/SP06]
Huawei has officially started its lollipop upgrade program for MediaPad X1 (7D-503L & 7D-501u) by pushing the first OTA updates to beta testers.
If you are not one of them but would still like to give it a swirl, ROM files and update instructions as below.
Flashing method is standard huawei procedures other than u will need to flash 2 files this time round, the first serves to re-partition the internal memory to accommodate lollipop.
The usual 'be careful, do it at your own risks' caveats apply, do take note that everything on the phone's internal memory (the 16GB part) will be wiped, your microSD card will not be affected though.
Have fun!
Not working:
1) Please note MHL (HDMI) function is not available in this ROM, if you require this function, do not update.
2) Xposed Framework is also a no go on EMUI 3.1 without modding, if u really must try, remember to have the uninstaller (flashable zip) ready in your microSD card, u will need that when you run into a X1 that fails to boot
(Huawei's default per app 320/400 dpi setting is working fine, thus non working Xposed is non consequential if u only need it for this purpose)
Steps:
1) Ensure your X1 (501u and 503L) is on the latest official (non-rooted) EMUI 3.0 B011 ROM, if not, kindly update to it
7D-501u - http://emuirom123.dbankcloud.com/7D-501u_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R002C208B011.zip?rid=1141
7D-503L - http://emuirom123.dbankcloud.com/7D-503L_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R002C208B011.zip?rid=1142
Clear cache and reset to factory settings before you flash the Beta 5.1.1 below.
2) Download the 2 necessary ROM files (the smaller 30+MB one is an update for modem / radio / kernel and also for re-partitioning etc; the larger near 1GB file is the ROM proper)
7D-503L
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9ea7yb206d869ya/7D-503LV100R002C208B011SP05.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/download/7o9g94z8c756ijs/7D-503LV100R002C208B011SP05_Main.zip
7D-501u
http://www.mediafire.com/download/pfp85guitv71745/7D-501uV100R002C208B011SP06.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dld8lxrewj288tm/7D-501uV100R002C208B011SP06_Main.zip
3) At the root of your microSD card, create a folder and name it 'dload', rename the 30+MB file to 'update.zip' and copy that into 'dload' folder
4) Go to 'Settings', 'Updater', 'Menu' and 'Local update'. Choose the (only) update available and perform the update.
5) Phone will reboot and update will run, when you see a big tick, eject the microSD card and the phone will reboot again (if it doesn't, simply long press the power button to force shut and restart it).
6) After the phone has rebooted, re-insert the microSD, navigate to 'dload' folder and erase the update.zip file
7) Unzip the near 1GB ROM file and copy the update.app file into 'dload' folder
8) Download unlmt.rar file below and copy the 0 byte cfg file into the dload folder
9) repeat above steps 4) to 6) (delete update.app instead at step 6)**
** If you are prompted for a PIN code when the phone reboots after a flash, fret not, simply force shut it by long pressing the power button, then enter Recovery by pressing the vol+ & power button simultaneously, and choose to clear cache. The PIN code request will be gone when the phone reboots
Google Play Store and Calendar / Contacts Sync
10) Your X1 should now be on 5.1.1, download and install the 3 google apk files below to get Play Store and Calendar / Contacts Sync.
(Good news here is the whole google framework already exists in the ROM, therefore there is no need to mess with root to do that)
Root
To obtain root access on this ROM, use the latest Wondershare MobileGo one click root (Win) program - thanks to jonjong http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63397619&postcount=34 - to root it.
There is also another 'cleaner' method of flashing custom CWM recovery and then chainfire's update.zip, but this will involve unlocked bootloader and some knowledge or ability to read chinese, will find some time to include a detailed write-up if there is demand for it. For now, you can download the necessary below:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/i564vr6587r2ma8/X1_5.1.1_Root.rar
Both methods need an unlocked bootloader AFAIK. If u come from B011, the bootloader should already have been unlocked.
If your X1 is 501L, you can unlock your bootloader by flashing the latest B102 ROM (EMUI3.0 / KK 4.4.2 / International / GAPPS) released by Huawei Germany - thanks to super_sonic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63420650&postcount=50
B102 download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/i...iaPad_X1_SDCard_Update_Android_4.4.2_B102.zip
Do note that if you do a factory reset after updating to 5.1.1 or re-flash 5.1.1 within 5.1.1, there is a chance that the bootloader will be re-locked.
Your mileage may vary.
Good luck
what about 501u ??
Great! Finally! Waiting for 501U
How is the performance guys. Is it snappier or the same lags?
Thank you very much, have been waiting for this since August as promised by Huawei. I don't want to stuck at kitkat (B011).
---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------
With my 2 cents, you can use this rom on 501u with 4G switch off.
I dont understand,i have done everything right,but still its 4.4.2 and not 5.1.1.
And it doesnt recognize which version i have!!
When it boots it says android,and it doesnt have the Honor X1 logo.

if still not working, download and unzip the attached file, put the unzipped 0 byte cfg file together with update.app in dload folder, reboot the phone and see if it auto flashes, if it does, hope it flashes as per normal.
if it doesn't, restart in recovery and tried flashing it again.

A firend of mine got a problem with his Lenovo, so we thought about reflashing it.
Unfortunattely we are not sure if it is CN or Row version.
The rom flashed on it is VIBEUI_V1.5_1423_9_P780_baralajbiV7
However reading the forum I'm not only not able to choose between CN and Row, but what are CN+ and Row+ versions?

Hi. Your firmware is based on Chinese firmware.
CN+ or ROW+ are modified layout firmware so you can flash latest kernel and latest TWRP.
Partitions are modified to be bigger. TWRP has grown from 6.1 mb to 12 mb and dont fitt in original recovery partition. Kernel its allmost the same thing.
Read here for + versions. Its the post of original developer.

Hope this helps you.
He is not into modding stuff (to much, coz he too know that You cannot have full Android experience without Root). I just wanted to know which firmwares I can safely flash on this device.

For me is MIUI from USNKREAL.

I love MIUI (however moved to Resurrection Remix, coz their LP build made me love it more) and, between Roms available here on XDA, would probably choose it. But It's not my choice. I'm here to repair NVRAM, but cannot do it on this build, so first need to reflash it, but as it;'s my first time with this device, I wasn't sure about this CN, Row, CN+ and Row+, and preferred to ask than looking for ways to unbrick it later.

Ok. But let me tell you one thing!
I have ROW version of the phone.
I am using CN based firmware.
Only i have to change was the modem software!
Works like charm!
MIUI is updated with latest Android Security Patches.
Your phone is ROW but have installed CN based firmware.
Sooo... you can use any of CN or ROW firmware. Modem software makes the diference.
You can try to get the phone in META MODE by powering down the phone, then power on with the buttons POWER and VOL - pressed together.
If the message: YOU HAVE BEEN IN META MODE TOO LONG.... appears you can flash ahain your IMEI, ofcorce respecting that tutorial.
Good Luck.
So if I flash CN modem on Row phone, all the problem will be no signal, and than flashing right modem will make it OK? It won't brick the device?
But how do You recognized that it's Row mode? It was bought form Aliexpress so as well he could bought CN model. It doesn't have LTE modem to make so big difference.

Flashing modem software for this kind of phone wil not brick your phone or signal.
In china phones dont use 800 mhz frequency. It is forbidden. So in hardware they dont have seccond chipset on modem, row phones have the seccond chipset for 800 mhz frequency.
Flashing cn modem software will not afect the phone, only the gsm signal received. In some area where your gsm provider antenna works on 800 mhz your phone will not have signal.
That is it.
Thought that there is more risk
But got confirmation that it's Row, as it had Google Play OOTB and CN ones don't have it.

Hi.
If you FLASH Row based firmware, over CN based firmware, nothing will happen. FLASH mean, using SP Flash Tool. The phone will start normal with Chinese software. After this you can use CN zip file firmware, like MIUI.
If you INSTALL Row zip file over CN based firmware, you will softbrick the phone.
This applies only to P780. Maybe there are phones that use the same technology, and i do not know the precise brand.
Hope this will answer your question.

Hi,
I still don't understand how to check the phone version. It's not my phone, so can You just point me a stable rom without preinstalled chinese apps etc. ?

If you have TWRP installed you can go to this post and install latest MIUI MINOVO.

Only i have to change was the modem software!
Works like charm!
MIUI is updated with latest Android Security Patches.
Your phone is ROW but have installed CN based firmware.
Sooo... you can use any of CN or ROW firmware. Modem software makes the diference.
You can try to get the phone in META MODE by powering down the phone, then power on with the buttons POWER and VOL - pressed together.
If the message: YOU HAVE BEEN IN META MODE TOO LONG.... appears you can flash ahain your IMEI, ofcorce respecting that tutorial.
Good Luck.

I have read a lot of articles in 3 days on XDA for my P780.
And the most of them are of you Stympy, but I'm a bit of mess.
I Bought my device from China "Minideal", I asked it rooted but now with serch on it I saw that its not. I don't know wich recovery mode it has. But for sure its not TWRP.
My ROM version is VIBEROM_V1.0_1347_3_ST_P780 so I must serch for CN or ROW to install on it. The diference on that 2 is from what I read the frequency only or the languish too. CN has only Chinise and English? ROW is multilanguish? This moment I have multilanguish on phone because I use Greek.
The phone had 3 years the same ROM and has launched not working properly.:cyclops:
As I have said above I have read enough articles and I'm confused about the upgrade process. Others are older versions, other files there are no longer on posts. The process is not written so clear. HELP PLEASE...

Hi.
Your firmware currently installed is Chinese for sure. Its old allright! All stock firmware is old because Lenovo builders gived up on this nice phone.
So... first thing first...
You must upgrade your system first in order to install one custom firmware. I think is what you want.
To upgrade your system you must work with SP FLASH TOOL. SP Flash tool is not a program to play with if you dont know what are you doing. 99% of people who used this tool and did not know how to... corupted NVRAM and lost their IMEI.
So... lets begin.
A. Tool to be downloaded:
1. SP Flash Tool V.5 and v.3. This 2 tools are made for Lenovo P780.
2. Divers like zip file and exe file.
3. Firmware multilanguage for your phone. This firmware is CN Based but dont wory to mutch, is custom made and compiled for multilanguage and is working well. I used very long time.
4. TWRP custom recovery.
B. Drivers installation procedure.
1. First drivers instalation. This small tutorial is for installing drivers if you never installed on your device:
1.1 First install the .exe file. Reboot PC.
1.2. After reboot plug the phone (powered on) to the PC and new hardware wizard will appear. Install driver if windows will wants too.
1.3. Now power off the phone. And open the Device Manager.
1.4. Again plug the phone to the PC or laptop this time powered off.
1.5. At this time in Device Manager appeared for a second or two not in PORTS area something with.. MTK65xx...
1.6. Click very fast on it because that will dessapear very fast.
1.7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver. Browse for the driver unzipped. Install.... yes yes... next next... blah blah.... Finnish. . And voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
C. Flashing procedure:
1. now... turn off your phone
2. plug your USB cable in your computer
3. do not plug your USB cable in your phone
4. open Flash Tool and unzip the firmware. Remember the adress of your folder where you unzipped the firmware. Load scatter file from that folder.
5. check DA,DL WITH CHECKSUM (NOT OPTIONAL)for v.3 not for v.5. Version 5 is allready checked. Look at those 2 pictures attached.
6. press Firmware Upgrade button (NOT DOWNLOAD BUTTON). For version 5 select FIRMWARE UPGRADE. Look at those 2 pictures attached.
7. now... just now plug usb cable to your phone.
8. firmware flash should start.(some red and other color lines should appear)
9. iff the firmware is not starting remove the back case of your phone and hold pressed the little red button from the right side, for about 20 seconds then release. All this must be done with cable pluged in to your phone.
9. after flash is done a green circle or some ok should appear
10. disconect your phone and power on your phone
11. lenovo logo should appear. then you should be pacient because it will took some time before android boots for the first time.
12. Reboot at least once, then your phone is ready to work HARD.
D. Installing TWRP. This custom recovery is good for custom firmware and full system backup.
Power Off your phone.
1. After power off your phone open Flash Tool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
2. Now comes the tricky part . Creeate a new folder on your Desktop. In that new folder copy TWRP recovery and scatter file from your firmware folder.
3. Now load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked. If not, checkit.
4. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
5. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
6. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
7. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional because TWRP will overitten by some files and stock recovery will appear.
8. After you entered in TWRP look arrownd to see what is there and after your curiosity is satified reboot to system.
E. After all this steps are done your firmware and your phone is ready to install custom firmware, i mean CN based custom firmware.
This is it. You have a custom firmware ready phone.
------ SAGA CONTINUES -----
F. There is some new form of layout for this phone appeared recently in order to prepare the phone for more bigger custom firmware like MIUI.
This new form called "+" layout is developed by Andreya108 and is made specialy for this P780.
You can see Andreya108 work here.
Based on his work i have creeated this firmware.
Remember this firmware is creeated to support newer firmware released by this magic developers.
You can find this firmware here.
To install this firmware you must follow all the steps except D point steps. Those firmware are prepared allready with TWRP.
Hope this tutorials will help you.
If you have another questions just quote me.
Good luck.

Hi everyone guys,I'm from Dubai.United Arab Emirates. I'm in trouble.
Maybe i bricked my phone.
I Rooted it, installed TWRP, and then i updated it not with the TWRP.
Since then i have got a bootloop issue, stuck with the Honor logo.
I can access the BOOTLOADER and the stock recovery (i tried to wipe and reset the phone here, but it do all the things and don't solve the problem) and ERecovery (same here i've got an error)
Try to put an update firmware on the MicroSD and make it run but didn't do anything, what can i do
U sure its a bootloop? First boot after update can make about 30 minutes. Anyways Flash stock recovery and try the update with the SDcard.

yes I'm sure its bootloop...
Please tell me how to I can flash stock recovery.how can I update it..
So to clarify you flashed your stock recovery, put your extracted stock firmware on your external sd card under \dload. Then you entered recovery and installed the local update and it did not work?

I'm don't try this.
can u give me this stock recovery download link
What's the exact model ? KIW-L21C432 ?
You don't need the stock recovery, just plug the charger, then the phone will boot on erecovery (second/alternate recovery)
You need the full ROM though, not an update.
If it's a KIW-L21C432, here is the stock ROMs:
KIW-L21 B140
KIW-L21 B330
unzip the dload folder, put it on you sdcard, then bot with the three buttons pressed.

to piggy back on that he may need to extract his stock recovery from the update file, am I mistaken? Since the return to stock update to marshmallow guide does not have his stock recovery in OP.
Arobase40 said:
- Make sure you have a stock recovery
- Unzip the downloaded file
- Remove your sdcard from your phone and plug it into your computer using a sdcard reader.
- Copy the dload folder with the UPDATE.APP file to your sdcard.
- Remove your sdcard properly from your computer and plug it back to your phone.
- make sure you have enough battery, so leave your phone connected to the main power supply.
- Hold Power On+ both Volume buttons at the same time : it could be tricky to pass this process, so you may have to repeat it many times.
- Once done, the update should start !
- Once you get a success message, wait long enough until the process complete.
- You could then search for newer updates.
- Finally, stop using Cyanogenmod if you're a noob.

Ok Sir
Goodafternoon,
I tried to root my Honor 7, but failed, don't know why, was stuck in a bootloop. Then I unfortunately deleted the whole system with TWRP recovery..
Then I downloaded the current ROM from a forum called modaco which seemed to be trustworthy and extracted it with HuaweiUpdateExtractor to then install the data with fastboot. I installed everything like system, boot, data etc. and everything works fine, except for the internal storage. Normally it should have about 13 GBs, but now has less than 3. When I go to Storage in the settings, it tells me I only have 3 GB internal storage in total.
As I don't exactly know how to describe this problem and therefore don't know how to google it, I ask you. If you need some more information let me know.
Would be very kind if anybody could help me or have some advices as I am not a real genius in doing such things.
Thanks!!
Hi,
First of all, is the custom rom deodexed ?
because on stock rom ( emui ) , you juste have to go into recovery, then factory reset, with a Custom, idk
I can only tell you before trying factory reset, make a full backup, then you could try

After manually flashing all the .img files you should perform a force update aka three button update, by putting the same version of UPDATE.APP from which you extracted those .img files.

So you mean, I have to flash the phone with bootloader with the extracted files from update.app and then put it on my SD card and manually update my phone with exactly that update.app file? or am I wrong? I already tried something similar, but couldn't find the option in my honor 7 in the update settings, to manually update (I have put the update.app on my sd card).
I tried to install another ROM (MoDaCo - ROM) with hard resets etc. but didn't solve the problem.
I do exactly have 3.87 GBs of internal storage after flashing the new ROMs or update.app files. I found somebody else with the exact same problem. He solved it by hard resetting his phone with the TWRP recovery, but didn't work for me. In that forum they told him, he has some "ghost ROMs" on his phone, from flashing his phone before.
If you do have any ideas or clues for me, don't hesitate to tell me. And thanks for your help!!

Yes, you have to do exactly that, flash files like cust.img, system.img, recovery.img, userdata.img(DELETES YOUR DATA), boot.img after extracting them using Huawei Extractor tool from UPDATE.APP.
After you do that follow below steps:
Put that UPDATE.APP in dload folder in your External SDCARD.
Switch off your phone.
Press the three button combo (Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power).
After this your whole device will get flashed with that UPDATE.APP file you put in dload folder.
Try these steps, then tell me if the problem still persisits. I hope this solves it.

Sorry last question:
Currently I have the custom MoDaCo ROM installed (don't know if you know it). To follow the steps you mentioned above, do I have to get back to stock ROM first, or can I just leave ROM as it is and flash it?
Thanks.

Thank you so much, everything went fine! Great!
To update my firmware in future, I have to download the new update.app and do the 3 button update, right? Or any other way? Are OTA updates no more possible?
Thanks again :laugh:
@Maxdr13 If you are rooted, then flash manually the img files then do a three button update, but if you are on stock ROM and recovery, just dong three button update by putting UPDATE.APP in dload folder will do.

and userdata etc. won't be wiped with the three button update (phone is not rooted) ? is there no chance to get back to normal status so I can update with OTA?
@Maxdr13 I can't confirm about userdata, as once I did a three button update my data was intact, but some people also reported that data gets wiped, and after the three button update you will get OTAs.

Hello all,
First of all the story.
I used the script to rebrand, it has a fail but the phone still working.
One evening, i decided to wipe all by twrp and re run the unbrand script..... that was a huge error, the phone boot but boot loop, and after, the script stuck an no recognise the twrp on the phone.
Tried lot of things like flashing recovery etc in fastboot but nothing else happen than a boot and a black screen with nav bar only.
At this point i think the problem is that i was unable to flash cust.img with fastboot
Whad did I Do?
(Bootloarder must be unlock)
1st: Crying.
2nd: read tons of things on XDA
3rd: Try to re run the script but fail because the phone was still rooted.
4th: Crying
5th: Read lot of other things on XDA
6th: this is the good IDEA
7th: Download Huawei firmware finder
8th: Download Huawei Multitool
9th: Download Huawei Update Extractor
10th: download by the tool the full OTA firmware and dependencies (in my case VTR-L09C432)
11th: extract the update.app (chose "other" for phone model) from the big "update.zip" dowloaded before an put it in a folder of your choice
12th: extract the update.app from the "update_all_hw_xxx" dowloaded before an put it in other folders, just incase of files could have the same names (not sure of it)
13th: run Huawei Multitool (il will create a folder in the path of where the app is when you click, the folder you need is "unbrick")
14th: choose 6 on Huawei multi tool, it will show you what img's you need, and you need everthing exept data.img (the cus.img is in folder wehre you extract update_all_hw_xxx) in "unbrick" folder -> Place the .img needed in the "unbrick" folder (very important)
15th: boot your phone in bootloader mode (phone off, vol-down+plug USB)
16th: clic the button to launch procedure (press N)
17th: have a coffee during the upload it'll ask to reboot
18th: If the problem is solved: cool, stop here
IF NOT: shutdown the phone
19th: Go in classic recovery: Phone off, Vol-Up + Plug USB, when huawei logo stop pressing vol-up
DO NOT BOOT eRecovery, it will not help
20th: in classic recovery do factory reset AND cache reset
21th Reboot
You can relock your bootloader if you want with your code.
The only thing i don't know to do and if someone can telle me is, before the flash of every things or at a moment, if i can flash via ADB the OEM info for an official bootloader relock.
Thx to @mankindtw, @worstenbrood and @inside!out
Hope it will help, it work for me.
edit: can an admin put my title in bold?

When you download the 3 files of the firmware, place them where you want.
When you lauchn Huawei Multitool, it will create the "unbrick" folder in the Huawei Multitool folder (my bad) not "brick", i update the first post.
When you use Huawei Update Extractor, you have choices for type of firmware, chose other.

Hello. Your post has been very helpful, after hours I've now managed to make some progress. All seems to have gone well after following your instructions, however at the end I'm unable to do a factory reset. At most it gets to 6% then fails. Any ideas on what may be going on?
I'm starting to think the phone may be beyond saving, all for one stupid mistake while rooting .
I can't find "other" or "other model" folder.
Thanks

From my french mind to english, sometimes a little bit difficult....

Hello. Your post has been very helpful, after hours I've now managed to make some progress. All seems to have gone well after following your instructions, however at the end I'm unable to do a factory reset. At most it gets to 6% then fails. Any ideas on what may be going on?
I'm starting to think the phone may be beyond saving, all for one stupid mistake while rooting .

Did you flash the two recoverys ? Can You still access to twrp?
If twrp still here use it to erase system partition
In fastoboot u can do It too
Follow these steps to :
1-Go to recovery option hold the power and volume button at same time .
2-then go advanced option.
3-Its time to factory reset your phone .
4-Finally Rebort your device and waite few seconds.

omg, how do you do that? you mean a advanced mode is in recovery mode or erecovery mode? I brought p10 at bell, I just couldnt find its firmware number.
ive done everything in this thread. the multitool installer finished without errors, then i did vol up + vol down + power, and it froze at 5 percent "installing update" then entered a reboot loop. then i tried a factory reset with vol up + power and it stoped at 25 percent.
Using the multi-tool

Hello all,
First of all the story.
I used the script to rebrand, it has a fail but the phone still working.
One evening, i decided to wipe all by twrp and re run the unbrand script..... that was a huge error, the phone boot but boot loop, and after, the script stuck an no recognise the twrp on the phone.
Tried lot of things like flashing recovery etc in fastboot but nothing else happen than a boot and a black screen with nav bar only.
At this point i think the problem is that i was unable to flash cust.img with fastboot
Whad did I Do?
(Bootloarder must be unlock)
1st: Crying.
2nd: read tons of things on XDA
3rd: Try to re run the script but fail because the phone was still rooted.
4th: Crying
5th: Read lot of other things on XDA
6th: this is the good IDEA
7th: Download Huawei firmware finder
8th: Download Huawei Multitool
9th: Download Huawei Update Extractor
10th: download by the tool the full OTA firmware and dependencies (in my case VTR-L09C432)
11th: extract the update.app (chose "other" for phone model) from the big "update.zip" dowloaded before an put it in a folder of your choice
12th: extract the update.app from the "update_all_hw_xxx" dowloaded before an put it in other folders, just incase of files could have the same names (not sure of it)
13th: run Huawei Multitool (il will create a folder in the path of where the app is when you click, the folder you need is "unbrick")
14th: choose 6 on Huawei multi tool, it will show you what img's you need, and you need everthing exept data.img (the cus.img is in folder wehre you extract update_all_hw_xxx) in "unbrick" folder -> Place the .img needed in the "unbrick" folder (very important)
15th: boot your phone in bootloader mode (phone off, vol-down+plug USB)
16th: clic the button to launch procedure (press N)
17th: have a coffee during the upload it'll ask to reboot
18th: If the problem is solved: cool, stop here
IF NOT: shutdown the phone
19th: Go in classic recovery: Phone off, Vol-Up + Plug USB, when huawei logo stop pressing vol-up
DO NOT BOOT eRecovery, it will not help
20th: in classic recovery do factory reset AND cache reset
21th Reboot
You can relock your bootloader if you want with your code.
The only thing i don't know to do and if someone can telle me is, before the flash of every things or at a moment, if i can flash via ADB the OEM info for an official bootloader relock.
Thx to @mankindtw, @worstenbrood and @inside!out
Hope it will help, it work for me.

opt 6 is in my memory "unbrick" or recover.
You have to put all the .img files needed exept data.img that is not possible to heve because this file is on your phone and encrypted.
Thanks for helping me, how can I tell what .img files are needed? I can't see anything that will tell me this?

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused on the intructions:-
I downloaded the full update zip file from the url using the firmware finder, there was another url link that came up called full/public/update - do I need the zip for this too?
I extracted the update zip to a folder and then extracted the update.app file using the Huawei update extractor.
Now I have a very long list of .img files in the extractor and I'm not clear what I need to do next i.e do I move them all into the unbrick folder on the tool?
Hi, I have since been able to extract the right files for the multi-tool. I extracted them again from the extractor. I now have placed them into the unbrick file. My problem now is that I can't run the tool - when I open the multi-tool .bat file its asking for a proxy port, where can I find this?
