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.

Look at the hihonor website of your country and search for any firmware you could find for your device...

need to unzip this file???
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.

did you read any of the other threads about updating with TWRP ?
it's hard to help people when they don't tell you anything about their phone.
do you have a KIW-L24 / L22 / L21 or something else ?
did you try and find the correct update and stock recovery for your phone in The 5X File Depot ?
Did you read the how to return to stock so you can take updates ?
I can help you, but you have to post useful information and you have to try and find answers that have already been posted

If you flashed stock recovery you no longer have TWRP
to apply the update.app you put it in a folder on your ext_sdcard called dload
then power off the phone and power it on holding volume + and volume - and Power
this will start the flash from the dload folder

update.app is not corrupt it's encrypted you can't open it without a special tool

@clsA: I'm in the same boat with my L24 Kiwi lol...where do I get the L24 update.app? I have the OTA+update+to+B151.zip from your file repo. Can I put the file as named into the dload folder and reboot into recovery, do I name it update.app or do i need special tools to go into the zip and get the update.app? On a MAC if that helps in your answer.

if you have an L21 and the update failed it's difficult to recover
if you have a different model their are other ways to fix your phone
to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

Thanks for the heads up on extracting the zip to get the dload folder.
I matched the recovery for the B151 with the extracted dload from the B151 firmware and it booted right away.
Thanks for the assist on the forum and the mental note to use stock recovery with stock rom!

clsA has made it simple enough for me in his previous posts in this thread.
Here is what I did....
- I downloaded the B151 stock recovery from clsA's Honor 5x file repo LINK HERE and in his signature and flashed it via fastboot. To enter fastboot look at post #14 in this thread.
- I downloaded also the B151 stock rom [Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L24_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_C567B151.zip] When you open this zip you will see the dload folder.
I was unable to adb push to the SDCARD so I had to use a card reader to move the dload folder to the root of the SDCARD.
- Once the dload folder is there you can hold down the key combination in step 2 of post #14 and the once stuck at 0% EMUI loading screen will count up the stock firmware install.
Hope it helps you returning to stock
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.

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.

Hi guys,
I am using the link below to perform the restore to stock from CM13 but I think I am not interpreting the questions in this post correctly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268
I tried to follow them to get my Honor 5x back to stock rom (while still keeping TWRP) and it was a no go. I kept getting stuck in a boot loop. I was able to immediately reflash CM13 though and get it functionaly. Would someone be kind enough to verify for me as to what steps exactly I need to follow (including ROM names, etc.)? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
@DigiGoon here's a person needing your help
I have a couple questions for you:
1) Before flashing CM13, what stock firmware version were you on? (e.g. b130, b140, b151, b331)
2) Before flashing CM13, did you take a NANDROID backup of your stock setup? Most guides have this step.
Follow these steps, and you'll get your stock ROM back.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
Hope this helps you.

You are a lifesaver. That seems to have done the trick. Thanks a lot man!

There is also a full, latest twrp, recovery backup o.o for b331
You restore everything except data, erecovery, and recovery... 1.6 gig download o.o does the job in one fell swoop as long as you have latest twrp.

It replaces the TWRP, and if you are flashing stock via 3 button method, then there is no way you can keep it, but if you are getting on stock by flashing individual files then just dont flash the recovery file and you will just have the TWRP alone.

Three button method is nothing but by placing update.app in /sdcard/dload/
And then put off the phone followed by pressing vol down+vol up+ power button . This will let it install full stock rom and phone looks brand new in terms of software

As @gopinaidu77 said about three button method, its just that. And about the other one, in that you have to extract all the important img files from UPDATE.APP and flash it via fastboot commands.

I should probably also add that im trying to downgrade from lineage 14.0 Nougat to the android 6.1 emui 3.1

Oh yeah, I have restored it already. I made a nandroid backup, and so when it happened, I just rebooted into fastboot and reflashed TWRP, then restored my phone from the backup. Not sure which build. Wondering what went wrong? And how I can successfully convert to stock

Extract UPDATE.APP via Huawei Update Extractor tool, pull out relevant img files (system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, recovery2.img(if not in your device), cust.img) flash this one by one via fastboot by booting your device in fastboot mode, fire the given below commands.
Code:
fastboot flash <img name w/o extension> <full path to the relevant img file>
After this try the three button method, if it doesn't work then boot into eRecovery then tap "Download Latest Firmware". It will connect to Wi-Fi and will start downloading the latest firmware of your device. After the process gets completed you'll be on stock ROM with your bootloader in "Locked" state.
You are guiding wrong bro . There is a need of extension too. Else it will give error saying file not found
CUST issue
Hi,
I tried to do the same, Boot.img, system.img and recovery.img are flashed successfully but I cannot flash CUST.img, following error occurs, please help.
it says: while writing 'cust'...,
error: FAILED (remote: command not allowed)
Please help, thanks in advance.
Can I actually just download the latest version via eRecovery and let the phone do everything on its own to go back to Stock? Or do I need to go through another procedure? Sorry for this stupid question but I can't find a guide on this particular thing and I'm concerned about bricking my device.
I'm running Resurrection Remix.

Why do I need Stock Recovery and can't stay on TWRP?
In RR's honor thread, it's at least stated that you'll need to flashback stock vendor partition if you want to come back to stock EMUI.
Stock Recovery and stock boot partitions may also be needed to be flashed back.
Thanks for all your relies. I used dload method now end everything went well without any problems. (firmware, then the vendor)

Can u explain little bit more, how u return stock?

I used the guide and links provided on this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892
I copied the dload/update.app into the root of my sd card and then rebooted my phone into dload (volume up + volume down + power). After it finished installing I interrupted the startup and rebooted into recovery where I did a factory reset and wiped cache. Then I removed the update.app from the dload folder, renamed the other .app file into update.app and did the same dload process again.
* Sorry for the bit complicated explanation; I meant copying the folder dload including the update.app into the root of the sd card. So was update.app not directly in the root but in dload folder.

Yes, already successfully updated EMUI 5 to 8 and eventually flashed Project Treble.
It's really working great so far, the only issue is the slow homebutton which I also mentioned in the thread.
Edit - Also, for those who are wondering because of my status bar:
Xposed Beta for Oreo as well as GravityBox [O] are working fine on this Rom.
Hello (i'm french, excuse my english)
I tried to install a custom rom two weeks ago and it worked perfectly but i wanted to go back to emui 8.0 (i was in this version before installing a new rom). BUT I can't..... I tried to do the three finger way without success... i tried too to install the stock rom with twrp and it failed. I tried saturday to wipe data and factory reset to reinstall something but i wipe also the product and the version... Since this mistake nothing works. I really need your help guys...
Thanks a lot
@leocap33 tried kindly to help me but his method did'nt work (we made a HWOTA8 file and tried to flash it with twrp). If someone has an idea i'm interested !
Maybe could i use a backup if someone has it ?

System doesn't start but yes i can go in fastboot mod. I have a recovery stock i found on internet but it doesnt work perfectly. But i can reinstall twrp. I used A LOT of files with dload or HWOTA8 and it failed everytime.
So:
download this:
https://mega.nz/#F!Yt8EDQ6S!6vl70iHvwCf4QlPbrN3cTQ
this is valid stock recovery oreo
put in "HWOTA8" directory in ext SD those files and those files too:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AUCN8e1gE6TIvem69YAy_sTGFsvoLorT
important: sd card have to fomrmatted in exFAT mode!!!!!
install a TWRP on phone
2 On the phone, hold down togheter the +volume key and the power key
3 The phone will reboot into the TWRP recovery
4 In TWRP, find the hwota8 folder on the SD card and flash the "hwota8_update.zip"
5 The phone will reboot into the stock recovery and it will install the firmware
++++++ IMPORTANT ! !! !!++++++
After installing the firmware you need to boot into the recovery and make a full wipe!
let me know what happening
I have already tried the HWOTA8 way but maybe it was bad files, i will retry with those files ! Thanks
