is my device bricked ? - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
recently I've been having problems with latest marshmallow update so I wanted to downgrade to lollipop and I followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/plk-l01-firmwares-updates-official-beta-t3272205
I installed the rollback package all went just fine and then by mistake I installed BETA UPDATES ANDROID MARSHMALLOW 6.0 ( I know how stupid this sounds :crying: )
now my device is not showing any sings of booting because the huawei logo isn't showing anymore just black screen and sometimes it vibrates
so is there any hope of reviving my device ?
Thank you guys .​

No I don't have twrp and I don't know how to get to the bootloader on this phone (because it is my friend's phone not mine)

Use hisuite to reinstall the firmware

Or you can get into fastboot and flash it.

tried many combinations to get into the bootloader with no luck
only black screen with vibrations

First you should unlock bootloader, when you unlock bootloader, you can get into fastboot mode and flash system from that mode.
You can find on Huawei site how to unlock bootloader and get boot unlock code, when you do that then you can flash it with fastboot.
FInd Huawei Extractor Tool and extract BOOT.img, CUST.img, RECOVERY.img and SYSTEM.img from update.app which you want to flash. After that you can flash this files via fastboot. To enter into fastboot mode plug in usb and power on phone holding volume - and power button. After that go into adb folder, if you are using windows, copy files which you extracted into platform-tools and then do this commands.
Commands:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img

But this will void the warranty, and its not his own device so that should be the last option

Get a sd card, create a folder called "dload" without quotes.
Copy the file update.app from the latest B380 into the folder.
Have your phone turned off and press vol+- and power until the screen turns on. It should update.

fastboot is a bootloader.Did you tried to enter fastboot mode using android sdk?This should work.Or you need to install proper adb driver for your device first.

Try and Download stock image of y550 from huawei web site, extract zip and put the file called "update.app" in SD. Before make an folder called dload in the root of the sd and put the update.app in this folder. After you do this, shutdown the phone and turn on the phone by holding down Volume + , Volume - and power at the same time . Then the phone will do everything automatically and will install the rom stock

I have the same problem. ADB works, fastboot not. If booting into fastboot, Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 is visible in Windows device manager.
Id also tried to get the phone into Upgrade mode with the dload folder, no luck at all.
Did you solve it ?

Honor 5X KIW-UL00 Boot Loop

Hello everyone.
I have a new Honor 5X and am having trouble getting away from the stock Chinese ROM.
Anyhow, where I'm at now is I have TWRP and CM13 installed but the phone is in a boot loop.
After research I think that my phone needs a firmware update to be able to run CM13, and there don't appear to be any CM12 ROMs.
Anyhow, I have trouble with your relevant forum post and other places on the internet because my phone is the UL00 variant. Please help me get my phone to boot into anything other than Chinese stock.
CM Forum: https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic...y-huawei-honor-5x-please-help/#comment-608356
XDA Forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightly-t3344499
PS: I think my TZ version is correct "Comparing TZ version TZ.BF.3.0.C3-00025 to TZ.BF.3.0.C3-00025"
Hello, to get out of the loop do the following steps to get back to stock ROM:
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 a bit.
I am trying to return to stock after I bricked my Honor 5x. I get this error --> "error: command not allowed." My phone was rooted before I tried to return it to stock. What is causing the problem?
Had this problem days ago,
Fixed my problem by downloading Emui for my honor kiw-l21 "B130-Kuwait for me" then extracted the ZIP file and put "dload" in sd card
After that put phone to charger "Not a Pc Charger" Then pressed power button + Vol. up + Vol. down
EMUI started to install.
Hope that helps.

Yes, if the method of manual flashing doesn't works first, try a normal force update by pressing three buttons.

I can't switch off the phone, it keeps rebooting into stock recovery, no option to shutdown, so i can't go into bootloader
what should i do??
When the phone gets off, press and hold Vol DOWN button and connect it to PC fast before it turns on again.

Stuck at honor-logo

I'm sorry that probably many have asked the same quesiton, but I'm desperate. The case is I followed the guide on rootyourmobile dot com how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-and-root-huawei-honor-7 to unlock, install twrp and root. All went good until installing SuperSu through TWRP, where the installation process got cancelled and I'm now stuck at honor-logo. I can still access twrp(it's in chinese though), by holding volum up + power, but I dont manage to access fastboot mode.
I realize this is a way to go. I guess my problem is not getting into fastboot, I also tried all options under Reboot in TWRP. Should I let the battery run out? Any help is much appreciated. Hope my phone is not total garbage...
DigiGoon said:
Okay follow these step, if you don't understand any step ask again. But follow these:
Download the UPDATE.APP of the Build number you were on before.
Extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from that UPDATE.APP
Flash all these files via bootloader mode, to boot into bootloader mode, once a loop is over and you see blank screen on your phone, quickly press Vol DOWN button and while pressing it connect your phone to a PC. If this doesn't work and you get into recovery, then in recovery go to option Reboot, in that select Bootloader.
Once in bootloader mode, flash these files by firing these commands from a CMD, make sure files are situated in the same location where you open up the CMD.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now after your phone boots up normally, put the same UPDATE.APP from which these files were extracted in dload folder of your external SDcard.
Now switch off your phone and press all the three buttons(Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power) simultaneously.
Flashing process will start.
Hope this helps.

Describe your issue more specifically. Did you unlock bootloader? Which recovery you were using? What was the ROM you were updating to and from?

Bro you don't need to go to fastboot mode you are already in the edl mode.
Just download the fastboot rom of the latest miui rom and extract it. Use mi flash tool and browse and locte the image folder of the extracted rom.
Connect your phone to the computer and press refesh button on the mi flash tool. ( Keep in mind to disable device driver signature inforcement in windows). Your deveice would be seen in the flash tool as COM ...... now select the flash all option and then the flash option. After the installation ends your phone would most probably reboot itself, if not unplug your device and long press the power button for at least 15 seconds. Now your phone will boot with a mi logo ajd wait for at 30 mins. Report back the results.

Honor 7 bricked after Root - Rescue mode and Recovery OK but no access to disk

Hi everybody,
Sorry if my post already exists and if my english is bad but i really need help...
I tried to root my honor 7 so first i unlocked bootloader successfuly, i installed TWRP too and everything seemed work very good until last step where my phone didn't boot, i stayed stuck in boot logo... Then I done a factory reset with wipe cache, dalvik, data etc...
Now the only things i'm able to do are boot on recovery mode, eRecovery and on fastboot&rescue mode. I lost adb and fastboot and i'm not able to acess to the phone so i can't put a rom on the phone to install it...
If anyone could help me it would be very nice because I'm going crazy. Thank you !
My phone was up-to-date, i can't remember witch firmware i had but i think it was Android 6.0.1

I'm not sure I understand the question but i'll try to explain.
I was not able to connect to PC apart with fastboot (reboot in fastboot mode and connect to PC). Once done, just open a terminal and type "fastboot flash boot <boot image file name>.img" then do the same with IMG (as said in this page .

Read this carefully, this will restore youre phone:
1*.)No matter what youve done with this phone it will be cleanly installed like its fresh new, cause i had couple of problems and this method worked
1.)Download the latest b396 firmware
2.)format youre SD card with basic settings via Windows ( if you have a usb stick to connect youre SD card to computer like i do, if you cant connect youre SD card to computer, use another smartphone and format youre SD card with basic settings)- simply talking just format youre SD card
3.)create --->>>dload<<<--- folder like i wrote down without the --->>><<<--- stuff on youre SD card
4.)paste the update.app file to the dload folder
5.)insert youre SD card to phone
6.)this is the moment of truth hold down volume + & - key and power key all in once until the emui logo appears WARNING: remove all keys after logo appearing WARNING: if the logo doesnt appear even after 30sec. keep still holding until the logo appears
***If you get somekind of error i can help, if it worked youre a lucky guy
