Hello, so a few days ago, I tried installing LineageOS on my Huawei G Play Mini, model chc-u01. As I was inexperienced I eventually messed my phone, and now it has no OS at all (I wasn't even smart enough to backup). I've been trying to install official firmware with no luck, using either the dload method, the original huawei recovery, and twrp recovery (honor 4x version).
When I try installing an official rom using the dload method, it seems to work right until the end, where it gets stuck. I don't get any error, it just simply gets stuck right before ending.
When I try installing from an update.zip using stock recovery, I get a "cust fail" error. It also says something about country/vendor.
TWRP just fails everytime, whenever I try to install any rom at all. Probably because it's an old version. Can't install a newer one, for some reason.
I never changed my phone's firmware, ever since I bought it. It came with Android 4.4 Kit Kat.
Can anyone help me? I've been trying to fix this for almost a week now, with no luck.

Hello and i wish you all a good Day and i really appreciate the time you are giving to help me.
But before i Start, here the Data about my Phone:
Name
Huawei Shot X / Honor 7i runs actually on Android 5.1.1 & EMUI 3.1
CPU
Qualcomm® MSM8939™, Octa-core 1.5 GHz
Operation System
HUAWEI Emotion UI 3.1(on Android™ L)
Root: Yes
Bootloader: Unlocked
TWRP: Yes
So, this gona be a little bit complicated as you can see in the Titel that i got 4 Problems at the same time so i complety messed up. I'm sitting here 2 Days and Night trying to work on my Phone and im so desperate that i created a Account here.
And the site also says, no low quality Questions here and i guess that's not a low quality question because theres less then 5 Theards/Questions about my Phone. Another Point wich makes it so difficul to can fix all by myself. But to get all things clear i will tell what i did and how it started, because im still confused after Hours of Searching and downloading.
It first started whit Pokemon Go I wanted to Install Xposed on my Huawei Shot X, so i can Play the Game while im in Brazil spending my Holidays. But the First Problem was, that the Modules was not compatible whit my Xposed. I had Problems such like XposedBridge.jar. Or when I read about that the Version 2.7 would fix it i had a Problem that Xposed was not compatible whit my processor Architektur. So i searched till i found those links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765
And especially before my Phone nuked i followed this Link (Click on "Link").
I already noticed that to Install Xposed on my Device will be Tricky on a Huawei, it's not like on a Samsung where Hunderts of Tutorials and solutions ect. Fast i noticed i need TWRP. Sadly i found nothing really matching whit my Phone i downloaded over here, over there img 3.0.0 all didnt work well or not correctly till after Hours i feelt trolled finding Twrp in the App Store. And while my Search i found a Guide giving me a Link how to Install TWRP on my Huawei Shot X. They linked me to a Download for TWRP Huawei G8 wich i did. The Download didn't worked but the App on my Phone did pretty well an installed Version 3.0.0 for Huawei G8 (like the Guide sad). I trusted the Guide because theres no Guide, especially for my Phone. So it looked like the Huawei G8 might be the only and closes Choice. I fail to install a File Manager from a Indonesian Devoloper and i know there are newer Version of TWRP but i didn't wanted to run risks. I had Install the Huawei Driver on my Pc and runed ADB but i can't remember in wich oder anymore because of the huge stress. TWRP started succesfully, at least that but when i noticed something is missing, i wanted to move some files for to install Xposed correctly. Andoird didn't started anymore . It wasn't a actually "Bootloop". TWRP Starts till now all the Time and it's functional but i didn't get "into my Android". I saw some Codes ect that i can entre in CMD , something about ADB that would make it possibel to get into Android again. After all, nothing was deleted, the Data was still there (I made a Back Up on my PC before, so no Problem). But there was no was to get into my System. So i tryed to take this as a Chance to install Android again, but better as Android 6.0 and i found this Update (Click on Update). This Update didn't work i get a Red Clored Text and the last Zip i tried to Install Android 5.1.1 for Huawei ShotX EMUI 3.1 fom the Huawei Site, TWRP sad the Files are corupt. And i aslo tried a Guide from "HighOnAndroid", explainding how to install Android 6.0 from TWRP, wich didn't work too. Im finding no probly ROM wich match. I finding nothing really compatible or working. Not a simpel way to install Android on my Phone im just stuck in TWRP. I hope for someone how give me straight/save links for my Huawei Shot X about how to Install Android 5.1.1 & EMUI 3.1 and if it's possibel to install maybe Android 6.0. And of course, the Reason why this Chaos just started how to install Xposed. Perfectly would be to Connect my Phone to my PC and a Programm wich simply installs Android. Thank's for helping and you time.
PS: A really other Important Point, theres no Data on my Phone anymore Expect TWRP and some failed to install Zips.
PSPS: 2.6 Xposed wasnt working to..
No anyone?
At least tell me how to install Android from TWSP
dear friend.you must flash stock recovery through fastboot then install stock rom
I got it fixed by just flashing the stock recovery.

Hello,i have only recently started playing with my phone and ive hit a wall and im trying to find the stock firmware for my model but i cannot,since i followed many outdated guides and guidelines my os is deleted
and although i can use stock recovery or twrp when i try to flash the update.zip i though was the correct one i get error 7 cannot update from update.zip,if i try the stock recovery i get failed at 11% with reason update missing although i placed the .app in the dload in the root of the sd card!
My device is a Huawei P9 lite VNS-L21C432B380 and i would appreciate if someone can point me to its stock firmware and any extra tip to get my bearings as to how i can reverse the bricking i caused to my phone
Thanks in advance!!!
After unlocking bootloader and rooting, i tried installing xposed. App installed fine but after installing framework it just bootlooped on the huawei logo. Did factory reset via twrp, it booted fine, but not on the first try.
Then i did something even dumber: flashed custom rom. To be exact it was openkirin rom.
Worked without problem but i didn't like some things. Now comes the worst part: couldn't boot back to stock.
Flashed system, ramdisk and recovery but no dice.
Tried sdcard update with + - power combo. Says software install failed after 5%.
Even bought the bloody dc phoenix, flashed update but it just throws me in recovery. If i do factory reset, it stays at 0% for a long time. Last option would be to leave it overnight on factory resetting.
Any further insight in this problem would be helpful coz i'm running out of ideas.
I'm not an expert but if no one has any suggestions for you then Funky Huawei can fix this but it's quite an expensive solution.

ok, so a little update. seems like the site i tried to download firmware from had messed up the versions. flashed 121 version, got 161, and that one got me up and running but wifi is dead. doing looong factory reset. will update further.
site's name is huawei - firmware dot com, for anybody looking into downloading from them

those guys are expensive as heck! dc phoenix is much more decent with prices and you get better deal for your money if you find yourself go that route ofc
Two things:
Xposed v90 beta 4 is compatible with EMUI and a download link / discussion can be found here. Beta 3, which might still be the latest official version, will cause a bootloop. This should be stickied somewhere.
Getting back to stock can be a ****. I don't know if stock eRecovery might work now that official updates are available? Funky Huawei's eRecovery method works - but yeah, it's expensive. Their unbrick method does not work (or did not work for me), and I'm not sure if DC will work either.

in the end i managed to return to stock. and no swear words can describe the feeling of the whole process. i would rather have kidney stones again then restore my tablet again to stock.
and yeah, DC worked. flashed b121 version. it booted but no wifi or bluetooth. connected to hisuite and then updated to b181, latest version. now is the time to try xposed again when i still have some time with DC phoenix
Is your bootloader unlocked and OEM Unlocked via Device Settings? If so, I might be able to help you. PM me in this case.
I flashed by accident a Chinese Rom and messed up my system, was able to recover and flash stock.

So, about like a week ago, I made a post on XDA developers named "Well, I f**ked up. Badly.." and basically, this is what it contained.
Alright, here goes.
So one day I was interested in flashing a new custom ROM (Preferably LineageOS) to my Huawei Mate 10 Lite. Long story short, it's now soft bricked. Only TWRP is working.
But, that's not enough information. Here's the fully story.
After realizing I could not get the Bootloader unlock code using the official method, I've tried DCUnlocker. I paid, and got my code.
I've installed HiSuite, 274829 drivers and finally unlocked the Bootloader. Now, the phone said "This device is unlocked and can't be trusted", but it booted fine. YES!
After that, I downloaded LineageOS 15.1 and flashed it. Before flashing it, I formatted everything, wiped cashe, davlick ect... And.. made my biggest mistake.
Not making a nandroid backup (dammit).
Don't ask me why, I thought it would go well (ugh).
Anyways, I flashed it, error 7. Alright, removed the assert lines. Flashed it again, and it worked, but right at the end, another error? It was error 7, again, but a little different.
This time, it said "failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor at /vendor: device or resource busy"
Okay, now I'm starting to get worried. Like, REALLY WORRIED.
It also said it failed to execute a line in the updater script, one of the last lines. But I would not delete it, just in case.
When I tried to boot, nothing. Went back to Google.
At this point, I learned that any Treble ROM will NOT work with Android version of 7.1. shhhiiii
I was on EMUI 5.1 aka 7.0, and this was worrying. At this point, I tried to return to EMUI 5.1, but since there was no backup, well...... To Google we go!
I did not find any stock room that running EMUI 5.1, but only found EMUI 8.0. I did find a stock room on 7.1, but I'm not paying 15 dollars for it. Not about that life.
I tried the dload method, but apparently my sdcard is on FAT32, and because of that I cannot upload the UPDATE.APP to it.
I've also tried eRecovery, but to no avail. "Failed to get package".
So now I'm stuck on a couple of options, and I need help from you, the XDA community.
1) Remove the line that's causing the issue but at the cost of it maybe not working
2) Somehow format the sdcard and somehow upload the update.app to it
3) Somehow update Android's system to Project Treble, although not sure it's possible since there is no OS.
4) ?????????????????
Please, help me. I'm in hell right now.
Anyways, I've tried restoring the phone for 3 days straight to EMUI stock rom, so I could update it manually to Oreo 8.0 and THEN install LineageOS 15.1. However, I literally could not find ANY SINGLE ROM on planet earth for Huawei Mate 10 Lite, on EMUI 5.1. I was so desperate to fix the phone that I just gave up and installed Elemental which was based on EMUI 5.1. Sure, phone working great, but not what I wanted.
I wanted LineageOS 15.1, not a rom based on EMUI. So, my question is, how do I update it to 8.0?
In the post, people suggested to manually flash the stock rom (8.0), but I couldn't find the stock rom. Also, yes, I tried TeamMT's site, xml tree not working blah blah blah site's dead.
So, what do I do?
Here's the link to the post, if anybody wants to read the replies
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/fked-badly-t3868233
Before start i'd like to tell you about my adveture with my phone
I had a Huawei mate 10 ( ALP-L29 c185) installed 8.0.0.139, rooted with magisk and TWRP (By Pretoriano80) as recovery so yesterday i suddenly think that "i shuld try android 9" (i don't know why?) . I searched here and internet so finally i decided to update by "hurupdater" method. I downloaded stock firmware by "Firmware Finder for Huawei" app (9.0.0.177) and hurupdater 0.4 also twrp_bla_alp_0.7.img for twrp recovery. I put them in same folder on sdcard. Renamed recovery.img to keep recovery as twrp. Lastly i restarted recovery and installed hurupdater.zip.
DANG!!! My phone is bricked....... It gave a lot of errors during installation and when i try to reboot it was bootlooping, cant load recovery interface (twrp or stock). I could enter e-recovery but gives "getting package info failed" error. So ended up with bricked phone in my hands. I tried many ways including hisuite but nada....
Then i remembered "Funky Huawei", bought 1 credit and followed instructions. After long hellish hours (firmware downloading takes long) i have my phone back working with stock 8.0.0.140 rom, stock recovery even relocked bootloader also my whole data was intact. My curosity cost me 20 $ and hours. This morning i realised there is system update 9.0.0.159
So my questions o this point
1)What should i do now? Update to android pie (with stcock recovery of course)? Is it worth trying or just install twrp and root my current rom and go on my way for a while longer ? (till a more stable pie relase)
2) For the future, what was wrong in my update process. I'd never want to make same mistake again..
Thanks...

I have exactly same phone (c185) never tried unlocking bootloader but I updated to emui 9 159 there are some buggy things like when you want to use third party lunchers You can't use gesture navigation and it has so many bugs so not using gesture is better
there are again some problems with third party launchers (im using nova) like sometimes when you go to "resents" its totally blank and you have to force stop "huawei home" to make it right
there are some good changes in camera like new 960 fps slow motion (but there is a huge crop in 240fps 720p and 960fps 720p I can't remember that 240fps had that crop or not) Turning off master ai and some new scene detection but it's slower than last one
there is a new performance mode that i love using it (it feels like a real flagship however it's not because of stupid SOC)
there is a new AI api that android 8 didn't have so most of apps wasn't able to use NPU
in emui 8 there is a little bit better battery
I love changes to my phone so I preferred buggy new firmware to old ones there are so many good little changes in interface (like when you take a picture you can go to gallery then scan it for QR code)
There is a way better Mira cast functionality (and new desktop mode in it)
hi touch, hi vision
These were all expensives I had with emui 9 that I can think of
How did you update @arianamirgholami ?
Meanwhile, I have the same phone but am still on Android Oreo......I have the ALP-L29 8.0.0.141(C185) model. I'm reading more and more about others with this model that have gotten the Android Pie upgrade over the last two months but the upgrade is still not available to me. Makes no sense...I have a stock rom on the phone, I am NOT rooted and my bootloader is locked. Neither hisuite, hicare, system update, nor firmware finder methods gets me anywhere. They all say that I'm on the most recent firmware.... 8.0.0.141(C185). Go figure....

Same here, although my brother and I have the same device (ALP-L29C185) and we're on the same career, he got the pie update like a month ago and nothing for me yet. I think it's a matter of time until our imeis turns.

Yes I saw many people on internet facing same issue, What I assume is that when you purchased the phone it came with 8.0.0.141, that's why its not getting the Pie. Because the phones which were using 8.0.0.140 already got the Pie instead of 8.0.0.141. So one thing you can try is to go back to 8.0.0.140 and then update the phone. I did the same, Installed 8.0.0.140 using HiSuite and then update to Pie.
