Honor 7 PLK-L01 bricked. Need help! - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
after putting the phone into a new case and into the original packing for a week, the phone seems to be bricked. I dont know what happend, maybe the buttons were pushed for some days.
Some facts:
B121 stock rom, rooted with TWRP by Cofface (chinese language)
Micro SD card = WORKING
ADB/Sideload = NOT WORKING
The phone always boots into TWRP, I can't flash the stock rom via fastboot because ADB is not working. I tried to install a custom rom via "install from zip" but i seems the rom requires B330 firmware to be installed first.
When I try to run the Sideload feature, it says "Starting ADB sideload feature" for a while, then some wild chinese error occurs and that's it.
I guess my only chance to repair this is to install a stock backup.
Can anybody please upload a backup to Mega? I will reward a working backup with a paypal gift
EDIT: Please guys, any advices would be appreciated.
Can I replace the .img files in a custom rom zip with the .img files from the stock firmware?
Thanks a lot

[Q] Bricked ridge 4G

Hello, I bricked my wiko ridge 4G (snapdragon 410).
I can only start in the stock recovery with the option "apply update from sdcard".
I have a full backup of my rom I have done just prior to booting on a cwm.
How can I do to create update.zip me to restore my boot.img or even be able to boot me in the cwm?
Note that I have no ADB and fastboot otherwise I would have already been able to access back on my backup.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I've had the same problem with my Wiko. I rooted it with King root application and after installing the software update v40 it complained about debuggerd file. I also tried to upgrade the phone with the PC upgrade program but once it reached 35% the process finishe with "download failed". Then, I manage to get debuggerd file from the upgrade PC version and substitute it by the new one. The installation started but just at the end of it complained about a "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" and the installation finished. Once the mobile was rebooted it was always looping in the Wiko Logo. I cannot put the mobile into fastboot mode neither factory, just recovery. I'm really desperate. I read something about editing the update.zip file with the OTA firmware and change the method set_metadata_recursive by set_perm_recursive but once I change that the update.zip file is damaged and the Wiko signature is lost (I signed it with android signature but it's not the same. I also tried to upload a new recovery from sdcard (the only thing I can do now) but it also complains about wrong footer and signature validation.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Unable to install new recovery.

Hi,
My friend gave me this phone to update the rom, but I'm facing a problem. Device was rooted, recovery is installed, but some really old one - it doesn't even say what kind of recovery it is. So I read that I need to update to TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev.2. Tried flashing it with TWRP apk, but after choosing it and hitting install, it reboots and goes into old recovery and I can't install new TWRP. Then I tried installing it with this guide: http://rootoreviews.com/root-Lenovo-P780-install-twrp-custom-recovery , but I'm getting error: partition 'recovery' not support flash.
Lastly I tried with SP Flash Tools, but I can't install drivers. After holding red button 2 seconds and plugging cable there is no device unknown to install drivers or any kind of device looking like this phone.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Hi. I have read your message and you have to do this:
First Tutorial.
I see that you have installed allready one custom recovery.
1. Download TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
2. After download putt the zip file to your root of your internal memory
3. Reboot to your current recovery and install twrp
4. After install power down your phone.
5. Start your phone again with all buttons pressed: Power + Volume up and Volume down.
6. Go to TWRP and do a full backup of your current firmware.
7. After full backup you can install any custom firmware you want.
8. I reccomend latest MIUI from AndreyZO, Mirror 9.
9. Good luck. If you have other questions write here.
Seccond Tutorial
1. Look in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
2. Download TWRP_v2.8.4.0 rev2 and read twice that tutorial
3. Go to this post and download SP Flash Tool: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_B98oK4DpK1S1l2bXRkTGxhVFk
4. Go to this post and download latest stock KITKAT and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-row-s226-flash-flashtool-t2909202
5. When you install the drivers in windows 8,10 you must disable driver signing. Look on youtube.
6. Now you must flash new system.
7. Unpack stock Kitkat firmware.
8. Unpack TWRP.
9. Go to firmware folder and delete recovery.img and replace with TWRP
10. Flash the firmware.
11. After flash boot at least once. If by any chance your phone is Lenovo P780 speed edition, after this flash will not start. This means that you need the latest preloader. Download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
12. After flash reboot in recovery by powering off the phone and start with all buttons pressed: Power + Volume up and Volume down.
13. Now you have last stock firmware with custom recovery installed. Go to TWRP and do a full backup of your current firmware.
14. After full backup you can install any custom firmware you want.
15. I reccomend latest MIUI from AndreyZO, Mirror 9.
16. Good luck. If you have other questions write here.
Tried to flash from this weird recovery, but I get error - look at pic.
I didnt flash this recovery, it must've been flashed by seller in my country. It looks like he way buying chinese versions and then flashing modified rom with polish language (very poorly translated).
Problem with sp flash tools is, I cant install usb driver. When Im in download mode I get the sound that usb device has been plugged in and after 1 second i get the unplugging sound. There is no unknown device in Device Manager, do I am not able to update the driver :/

That one is stock recovery. Proceed with the seccond tutorial.
One more question before I try to flash, I got CN verision, u answered to me in different thread:

Hi. Your layout is CN.
Look if you have custom recovery TWRP Installed.
If you have TWRP installed you can go to this post and install latest MIUI MINOVO.

So is that ROW Kit Kat ok for me ?
Yes it is ok as base firmware.
After you flash and install TWRP, you can install any custom firmware.

Hi,
Sorry for delay, wasn't at home during weekend. Im flashing right now, but I had to use "Format all + download", cause only download showed error: "PMT changed for the ROM it must be download". Now I can flash the ROW version of custom rom or CN ?
Hmm I have still stock recovery not TWRP, although I replaced it with TWRP. File size matches perfectly...
Ok, worked but I flashed it with ROW version of recovery, making backup at the moment.
Got an error installing minovo_NOTE_6.12.1_ROW.zip, couldn't boot into recovery after so I decided to flash via SP Flash Tools one more time. After that booted into recovery and once more I have stock recovery xD I'm in serious WTF mode right now
Hmm I think I screwed something. After booting Kit Kat it says "Invalid imei" :/ I guess I will have to restore with MTK droid tools ? Can you guide me through that ?

Sorry for annoying you once again. When I try to flash anything in TWRP I get error "unable to mount /system". I read that it could mean that system partition might have incorrect file system. What is the standard one for p780?
It happens when I flash the stock KK with TWRP recovery, then I want to flash Superuser. I need superuser to use MTKdroidtools to restore IMEI.
My biggest problem is when I boot the Stock KK after flashing and power OFF, I can't boot to TWRP recovery. Instead it's booting stock recovery. Only way to to boot to TWRP or any custom recovery (tried CWM) is only after fresh flashing with SPflashtools, but I can't flash superuser. If I format /system I can install superuser (no error unable to mount /system), but I have no system to boot to use MTKdroidtools.
This phone is driving me crazy....
UPDATE:
Ok i managed to restore everything, thanks for help. Can't flash custorm rom still but im making different thread.

Honor 9 no OS installed, TWRP and fastboot with unlock still working

Hi guys, i got my H9 yesterday and because i thought i read enough on this forums i wanted to unlock it then install TWRP and install superSU to gain root access and stick with the stock firmware.
Unlocking went perfectly fine,phone booted to OS, than i flashed twrp 3.1.1-1 as advertised here and made a factory reset. Phone was stuck in bootloop for unknown reason.
I made several wipes and somehow managed to check all boxes in the wipe menu which erased the whole OS.
Now i read here that others have the "no OS" problem too but because i still have all unlocked fastboot and twrp i wanted to ask which method is best to flash back the original FW.
Which stock ROM is safe to install? i have european H9 is STF-L09C432B170 the right one for me?
Which method is the best to install it? Copy the 3 zips to internal stoagre via OTG device and install it out of twrp? I read that there is also a force method where users can push vol up, vol down and power simultaneously and enter the huawei install force mode.
I am quite sad that the phone was stuck in bootloop after twrp install and still dont know what caused it. When i install it from twrp there are 3 zips: update, data full public , hw eu. In which order do they have to e installed and is one of them overwriting the TWRP recovery?
Please give me a short hint/procedure, im quite afraid that i cant get my phone back to work and it is brand new. I dont know what caused the unsolvable bootloop.
Best regards and many thanks
Hi.

This help you.

thanks for the hint but i cant find a solution for me there.
ut this
i copied the 3 .zip files to internal today but TWRP doenst allow me to write them it fails with "write err errno 9"
then i tried to copy the update.pp in DLOAD folder on micro sd but this is not possible because filesize is over 2gb. i tried to format micro sd with twrp to exfat but it till doesnt work. please give me a little hint what to do im completely desperate about the situation.
Today i installed Huawei Multitool and extracted the .img file out of the update.app files, i was able to flash all 4, system, boot, recovery and cust.
Now the rec. menu is back to stock and everything got installed but the phone still isnt booting. i think it is because i missed the userdata.img which i cant find anywhere.
Other users here have the same problem. Is there a firmware package which includes all 5 .img data?
Best regards
i found the official huawei service full repair firmware with all necessary files for unbrick (system, cust, recovery, userdata, boot) flashed them via fastboot but stil device is "hanging" after the warning message that its unlocked. i think it is because i wiped vendor data in twrp but i cant flash vendor.img in fastboot. it is included in the fw package but cant be transfered to phone via fastboot. it stops at part 1/2 because the filesize allowd is around 470mb max but the extracted file has a size of 670. anyone know what to do?
Best regards
You need to go via the Rebrand way with no rebrand. I had the same problem and was trying to use the multitool without success. The oeminfo can be flashed alternatively if it fails during the HWOTA process.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/help/how-flash-oeminfo-t3657499
ok i download all the folders with the .bat file. Then i download C432B150 from the czech site and add it to the update folder. Than i rename the 3 files accoding to the manual and run the .bat file but without rebranding right?
Des this tool any different than the HuaweiMultiTool or fastboot with flash command?
Best regards
I treid out HWOTA, the first step installing twrp is successful than i disattach usb cable as described and enter twrp. Then it says in twrp i have to connect again and press enter but then the bat file stops and doenst go on. i dont come to the point where i can choose rebrand or flash firmware.
Whats wrong here?
edit: i saw in the .sh file that the script executes wait_adb but my phone is not entering adb mode as it seems when in main screen of twrp. is this normal or do i have to set it manually in twrp
best regards
I was able to install the B130 now via 3 button recovery. Now im on B130 but cant update elsewhere. Also the 2 capacitive buttons are not working. Bootloader is locked again. Everything is stock and the phone runs great. When i update with the 3 buton method from external sd, which firmware should i use? i tried B150 full OTA but it aborts after 5% with an error. Do i only need to get a small OTA package now?
How can i put my cap. buttons back to work? Too bad only the 3 button method worked to recover the phone.
Best regards and many thanks.
I did the HWOTA with b120 firmware and then used firmware finder to update to b150.
The bug with capacitive buttons is present till Oreo. I use the home button gestures anyways.
Hope it helps.
ok, thats bad but they worked with the initial revision of b130 and b150 when i downloaded it OTA. Is this something like a fuse like.knox at samsung which happens at custom flashing?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
the HWOTA method doesnt work, the batch file gets stuck after connecting the phone in twrp back to computer. in script it says wait_adb but it is not recognized somehow.
do u know a solution? anotherone here got that problem too.
im very afraid of that, i read here that everything related to twrp 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1 is problematic a lot of people cant boot after installing twrp and can wipe whtever they want the phone never boots fully
whats the difference in the B130/B120 the phone came from huawei and the version flashed via tools? when i got it everything worked
i have this version.
ok so install twrp have frq and bootloader unlocked and then do backup out of recovery? with your file? can you provide download link? is this then a zip file?
I want to solve the thread and how i solved problem.
The B130 service firmware by huawei could be installed via 3 button method, than i was able to go up to the newest B180 via firmwarefinder and DNS method but with not working cap. buttons and flash etc.
Yesterday i installed TWRP 3.1.1-1(temporary) via HWOTA.zip method (ireplaced the older twrp in recovery folder) and successfully installed B120 and got the buttons etc working again. Then installed root and now system works fine and is rooted. My mistake was to install twrp over B130 or B150 which i downloaded OTA at the first day i got the phone. I tested this yesterday to install TWRP along with B150 and unlocked bootloader, infinite bootloop again. With B120 the TWRP 3.1.1-1 works out of the box without any loops.
The 2 trouble solvers where B130 service firmware and HWOTA with B120.
The external SD had to be inserted in card reader on PC because of the large filesize of the B130.
I would recommend to everyone before starting to play with the H9 to move the B130 folders to phone while it is still accessible. When everything bricks like in my case and u still have twrp than you can go to twrp main screen and connect phone to computer to rename the folder with B130 to "dload" and arrange update.app accordingly on PC or in TWRP file manager.
Can i set this topic to [SOLVED] myself?

[FIRMWARE][STOCK][SCL-L01] Camera doesn;t work after restore from Custom ROM.

Hello,
I write to tell you about my problem with a rear camera of my Huawei Y6 [SCL-l01][C432B140] and ask for any possible help. I really like to use it and i tried to get it back, but even after back to my firmware and stock recovery my camera doesn't work anymore[You cannot connect to the camera] after first rom flash.
Let's start from begining:
Once i decided to install custom rom on my phone, i done everything like it was on tutorials. I unlocked bootloader, i backup my data and i flash TWRP 3.1.2. Of course, TWRP didn't shown any error or issues, but my backup after restore, cause bootloop of my device and after second reboot startin recovery[not even bootloader of OS].
I tried many fixes to get my camera working on Custom Roms like AOSP, DARKNESS, CM,[ and few from HUAWEI Y6 thread] and I always fails. After few tries i gave up. My problem was that my backup was broken and my recovery was flashed by TWRP. Lucly i found stock recovery for my phone and flashed it.
Stock recovery gave my chance to install my stock rom from UPDATE.app, but after i install my stock lolipop 5.1 - my camera won't work anymore.[Can't connect to the camera, flashlight doesn't work too].
I tought to myself "hell, it could be problem that my original soft is modificated", but luckly i had two smartphnoes of my type SCL-l01[not mine ]. I took copy of working one by TWRP and flash it to my doesn't working... It gave the same result [I used TWRP by fastboot boot twrp.img for survive of my stock recovery] - camera simply wasn't work anymore even after flash the same firmware [once from update.app and second from another scl-l01]
And there is my question - Is it possible to get this camera working again?
Just pls - don't write to my about basics like clear cache or force stop etc , becouse i tried it all.
Thanks for every answer - and sry for my mistakes in my statement.
have the same problem for quite some time, I tried to return to stock with the update.app and the camera no longer worked, and I did not find a way to make the camera work. In stock it does not work, and in ROMS as LineageOS either, eh done the same thing to reinstall the update.app and neither, I think it could be a hardware problem
I clarify, I have a SCL-L03
link plzz
i ccant find the oficial room for scl-l01 cen you guys give me the link:cyclops::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

If you want to flash it, use huawei updater extractor and extract the system.img and boot.img from the update.app and flash it from fastboot.
Or if you have stock recovery make an folder Dload in sdcard and put the update.app here. After that, press power button and volume up and down (your phone needs to be shutdowned)
That's it.
Thanks button works well if I helped

[SOLVED] Need help restoring my Honor 9

EDIT: My solution was to have an exFAT formatted SD card with update.app, I had previously only tried on an ext4 formatted card.
Hi everyone!
I've been looking for days for a way to get my Honor 9 working again to no avail.
It started with me trying to install a custom ROM on my EMUI 5.1 Honor9, but when the touch buttons didn't work I decided to go back to stock. This is where the problems started.
FRP and bootloader was unlocked before doing this.
After many different firmware tries I managed to get into stock rom (B130), and apparently it locked FRP again, but since the touch buttons still didn't work I decided to rebrand with B120. Bad idea.
Now my phone has FRP locked, so I can't flash images from fastboot anymore (command not allowed), and no working OS.
I do however have TWRP installed as recovery2/e-recovery, so I can still adb push images and install them via TWRP.
I've looked through every thread on this forum and tried every possible solution I could find (extracting images from update.app, copying update.app to /dload on external sd, different firmware versions etc)
If there is there anyone here that is more experienced than me that can give me any pointers in the right direction, I'd be incredibly grateful!
As far i know there only 3 service repair firmwares publicly available which works the dload way. There nougat and are meant to use from nougat.
Alright, so they won't work for me no matter how hard I try?
What alternatives are left to me?
What's your region and version firmware actually ?
You stated you rebranded ?
What region region service repair firmware did you used ?
Region is EU, I'm not really sure what my original firmware is, but i suspect around B130? I know, I'm an idiot for not checking before I wiped it..
I tried at least, to install the B120 in order to get the capacitive buttons to work, but I'm pretty sure I didn't succeed.
I've been using EU firmware to try and get the phone up and runnin. A few different versions.
have you tried to flash again B130 whit 3 fingers mode?
mmmhhh but maybe you have need stock recevery....
With 3-finger mode you mean stock recovery? (Not twrp or stock eRecovery)
How would I flash this using stock recovery, via update.app method?
When flashing stock recovery to recovery partition it boots straight to twrp (flashed to recovery2) regardless of what buttons I hold. :/
If i flash twrp to recovery and stock eRecovery to recovery2 partition and restart holding vol+ and pwr, I get a screen similar to fastboot screen with "error 2 - could not load"
I'm afraid that if i flash stock both recovery and eRecovery, I have no way of flashing images or restore twrp due to FRP being locked...
Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond, really appreciate it!
not undestrand...
now you have TWRP installed or Stock recovery? phone turn on in system or have a loop? what it is the problem? only FRP blocked?
how you can falsh twrp and stock e-recovery if you have frp blocked?
what is happen when you turn on phone holding Volume + and Power Button WHITOUT ANY USB CABLE CONNECTED?
this is three fingers way:
1) download "stock service B130" from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...stock-t3696892
2) copy UPDATE.APP and update_STF-L09_hw_eu.app to external SDCARD into /dload folder
turn on the phone holding Volume + and volume - and power ( three fingers way)
if all is good, phone restart in stock recovery and update firmware....
you will have again bootloader and frp blocked after new firmware will be flashed
if you have a twrp installed you can try this method.... but i dont know if it work whit frp locked:
1) download "stock service B130" from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...stock-t3696892
2) download those 2 file from
https://mega.nz/#F!Y59nFYbJ!fb1f4UpEdgABZ4NhOfu1JQ
3) put all files in HWOTA7 directory on external SD
4)In TWRP find the folder HWOTA7 on the phone SD and from it flash the file "hwota7_update.zip"
he phone will reboot itself into the stock recovery and it will install the firmware.
++++++ Important ! ! ! ++++++
After have installed the firmware, you need to boot into the recovery and make a full Wipe
if all ok, b130 firmware will be flashed.
let me know if you try
First of all, thanks a lot for trying to help me!
I will try this method. I downloaded the HWOTA script, however in the bash script contained in this file, it says:
#!/sbin/sh
dd if=/external_sd/HWOTA7/STF_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37
dd if=/external_sd/HWOTA7/STF_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34
echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA7/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA7/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA7/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
Which means that I should have 3 zip files present on the phone in /sdcard/ called update, update_data_public and update_all_hw.
These zip files do not exist in the B130 firmware you linked. What files should I use for this?
I tried running it anyway and got into recovery, however it says "Software install failed! The update package does not exist. Please download the package again."
Alright, that may have thoroughly f**d me. Now TWRP is replaced with stock eRecovery.
I suppose I can put files on the SD card by using my laptop, but then I'd need the correct files. Anyone?
Now you should be able to flash with b130 service Repair files:
http://androidhost.ru/v5
Instructions inside, you will need an sdcard formated to extfat.
I've tried SO many times trying to get this update method to work, but always stuck at 5%, until now!
Seems like exFAT is the key! When formatting the SD card on my laptop with linux, it became formatted as ext4, which was fine to read and write to in twrp, but however stock recovery seems to demand an exFAT partition.
Today I went out and bought an USB SD card reader and formatted with exFAT on my windows machine and lo and behold the update was installed!
I don't know if I'm an idiot for missing this fact or if it is not iterated enough. This solved my issue though!
Thanks a lot, Oslo83 and Angelobiz

echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA7/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA7/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
Which means that I should have 3 zip files present on the phone in /sdcard/ called update, update_data_public and update_all_hw.
These zip files do not exist in the B130 firmware you linked. What files should I use for this?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes... you have right...i missed somethings:
update.zip same same
update_STF-L09_hw_eu.app have to rename in update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip dont need for restore....
happy that you have solved.
which files have you used?
I used the stock B130 files in the thread that you posted, worked like a charm. As stated, the issue seems to have been that Linux cannot format in exFAT, and stock recovery can only read exFAT.
