Cannot format with fastboot my Honor 5x KIW-UL00 - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have problem formatting partitions
➜ platform-tools ./fastboot erase system
******** Did you mean to fastboot format this ext4 partition?
erasing 'system'...
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002e8
FAILED (status read failed (Invalid argument))

➜ platform-tools
Using ./fastboot format fails similarly.

The reason I want to format/erase the partitions is because i cannot flash my phone anymore:
./fastboot flash system ~/Downloads/split_updata.pl/kiw_l24_a6.0.1_emui4.0_d003_US/SYSTEM.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
erasing 'system'...
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002e8
FAILED (status read failed (Undefined error: 0))
finished. total time: 0.001s
Also, when I put the phone in fastboot mode I see this:
PHONE Unlocked
FRP Lock
Could that "FRP Lock" be the reason why fastboot does not work, and if so how can I get rid of this FRP Lock?
The FRP Lock appeared after I decided that I had enough with CM13 and wanted to flash back the stock images. The phone is unlocked, but i cannot boot it up unless with fastboot.
About to throw away this phone ... out of ideas...:crying:

I found this for frp lock:
*to remove the factory reset protection (frp) to do this you need to remove all pin/password/fingerprint locks, then remove all google accounts and finally do a factory reset.
Google frp lock xda honor 5x, there are some threads.
Good luck

I also looked at those, but they are all talking about a fully operational device. The most I can do with my phone is some limited FASTBOOT operations, like:
./fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) *******************************************
(bootloader) Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED
(bootloader) Root State: ROOT
(bootloader) Bootloader WidevineKey: WidevineKey_VALID

The way it got bricked is, because it is a KIW-UL00 device and I tried to install the US stock rom in it (KIW-L24), like this:
./fastboot flash boot ./kiw_l24_a6.0.1_emui4.0_d003_US/BOOT.img
./fastboot flash system ./kiw_l24_a6.0.1_emui4.0_d003_US/SYSTEM.img
./fastboot flash recovery ./kiw_l24_a6.0.1_emui4.0_d003_US/RECOVERY.img
after that, I tried to reboot the phone and the the restoration of the stock rom did start. However it got to about 5%, then
the phone started rebooting itself and never finished. As a result, I think the FRP Lock appered and I can no longer run the above
commands even though I have the the right stock rom for KIW-UL00.
Any chance to fix that?
Overall the problem I got into this is that no one has tested CM13 or TWRP3 with this particular Honor 5x model, KIW-UL00, which gets people to follow instructions and get their phones bricked. Should have known this before I started ... sigh ...

[Q] Post Downgrade

Hey all, yesterday I only flashed 4.4.4 Kitkat in my phone (previously running custom 5.1.1).
(PS also received 3 5.0.2 updates as I was on soak test)
Anyways, the problem I am facing is that:
MY logo.bin is getting flashed, but still showing "Warning bootloader unlocked"
WHY?
I must mention here that I didnot flash gpt.bin and motoboot.img..... Do these files have anything to do with it?
Please help.
Maybe because your bootloader is still unlocked so the unlocked bootloader must have replaced the logo.bin if though you flashed it

Dear Faiz, I have soft bricked my moto e 1st gen (XT1022) India dual sim variant after I tried to flash android 5.1 from 5.0.2. While flashing I copied the 13MB (small bug fix) Condor zipfile ad everything went fine, however I forgot to disconnect the USB cable after pasting the 13 mb zip file and the phone got stuck in bootloop. It throws up the error "E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install and E: Can't open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/
Now I have not enabled USB debugging previously and the device is not getting detected in ADB cmd. But in mfastboot cmd I can see the device, but there I cannot flash as it is not able to clear cache or data or anything. Oh also, during trying to reset my phone i tried to unlock the bootloader and now the bootloader is unlocked.
How to recover my phone back to normal? Please guide.

It looks like you did something wrong while flashing and the gpt(partition tables) may have got corrupted thats why it shows it cant mount cache partition or open dev/block directory files...what exact error does it show after entering the commands in fastboot?

After looking at the command failures,from my own experience,your emmc(storage chip) may have got corrupted,the bootloader cant make any changes in the partitions neither can it write a new gpt to the storage...try this command(it wipes data,system and cache)..see if it works or what error it shows,corrupted emmc is not a good thing,could be a brick.

The problem is I do not have a proper service centre here and as per customer experiences, they have been asked to replace the motherboard. Now that is as goo as buying a new handset. Please Faiz, let me know if this is solvable or I have to simply shut down the handset and buy a new one?
Sure the emmc got corrupted and it cant be fixed,and its embedded on the motherboard so it cant be replaced either..the only solution would be to replace the motherboard,or say goodbye and buy a new phone...motherboard should cost around 2k and our device value in the market is around 2.5-3k so its not feasible..your choice.

Thank you very much Faiz, you were helpful in providing quick answers. I very much appreciate your time and effort. I'll buy a new phone as that seems to be a more doable option here.

How can i use EDL?
Sapper Morton said:
Since your bootloader is locked, and there's no proper system.img in slot B, you must change it to slot A; however it's not possible in locked state, first check if it's possible to unlock, by running:
Code:
fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
If the output is 0, you cannot unlock, and EDL is a must, otherwise, the output will be 1, therefore, unlock is possible, then proceed with the following steps:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Code:
fastboot set_active a
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
As explained above, it's not possible to change slot without unlocking the bootloader.

Is there any way to oem unlock without going to Debugging Mode -> OEM enable?

EDL mode and authorized Mi account. You should contact your nearest Xiaomi service center or use some online service (you might need to open your phone yourself in such case).
