I dont know what happend, give my brother use for awhile, suddenly he return to me with this problem.
its on nougat. sorry what build, i dont know.
Region China?. i dont know about the C00 or rebranded and c432 that you said. really have no idea.

OK.
So your Honor9 is STF-AL00 and was on nougat.
But:
-you don't know on which firmware region it was and you don't know if it was rebranded to STF-L09
-i guess your brother could also have updated it to oreo, or rebranded it before bricking it...
If you did not have any chinese app stock installed like QQ, Weibo or Tancent News then you could be probably on region C432 (or C10 or C185) ;
If so use this with an exfat external micro sdcard or usb-otg EXFAT formatted:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892
First try with C432B130, read the instructions inside, do it, then report.

thanks.. i will try it tonight,
i've done try update with sd card before, but not with those file inside the link you give.
and also not with EXFAT fromat sd card, but it said Software Update Failed.
i will try this and update here again..
thanks

Are you with nougat or oreo partitionni'g scheme ?-> are you actually booting on a nougat twrp or on a oreo twrp ?
Which region your phone were on on ?
original chinese C00 ?
or rebranded C432, C10 or else?[/QUOTE]

right now with oreo partitions, never rebranded the phone, and i was running update b362 so i assume im still on c00, otherwise i dont think i would have worked.
twrp is 3.1.1.1 open kirin edition

OK so, the facts :
1) B362 firmware are mostly european (C432) or russian (C10) and could be japanese (C635).
So your phone was previously rebranded from chinese to one of these region.
It's not a problem if not done wrong, maybe your case...
2)'twrp 3.1.1.1 open kirin edition' is a custom recovery for NOUGAT and not for oreo.
And then some more questions:
-Can you boot your phone to normal mode ?
-You were on nougat before brick ?
-You were one oreo B362 before brick ?
-The brick happens after it upgraded from mogat to oreo B362 ? If so, how did you update ? normal OTA ? forced OTA with android app Firmware Finder ?

---

i can only boot the phone in recovery mode (twrp and erecovery) and fastboot
i installed b360 through forced ota and then when i was in the system i updated again to b362 throught settings\system update
i was on oreo b362 before brick, and i remember now that my navigations buttons were not working so i flashed a custom kernel to fix it, but
that prevented me from booting to the system again. (Proto Kernel)
edit: used that tool you gave me and i managed to flash STF-L09_C432B360.

So your phone was correctly rebranded in the past and we can deduce you are now on region C432 or C10.

You flashed a custom B360 kernel over your B362 : It was why your phone bootlooped just after !!
Flashing a stock B362 kernel would have solve the bootloop.

You said you had flashed boot, kernel and recovery from an update.app.... Which build number and region this update.app was from ?
You could flash back B362 stock boot, kernel and recovery and it should boot if you did not messed something else...
So, the best for you will be to:
1) use HuRUpdater to flash C432B360 or C10B360 firmware (depending of your actual phone region)
2)then flash the B360 kernel fix
3)then update via OTA or huRUpdater.

i flashed many update.app, i messed up with that, cant remember the last one.
just flashed twrp for oreo now, went to terminal and i can see "ro.hw.vendor: (hw)
does this tell me my phone region?
with this twrp for oreo i also get another error when flashing a rom zip "failed to mount "\system" (permission denied)

Stop messing with random dload folder and update.app ; From what i seen only special one called 'service repair' will work.
No. It does not.
Stop messing trying to flash random zip when on twrp ; From what i heard only special one called 'FullOTA-MF-PV' will work this way with twrp.
Be bold and try HuRUpdater witj C432B360 following my latter post.

C432 is maybe the wrong region if you don't get ota update notification to b362/b364 when checking for update in settings :
1) What's your build number version on Settings/System/about ?
2) What's the country shown when you dial**#*#2846579#*#**- on the dial pad, then go to 'Network Information Query' and then to 'Vendor Country Info' ?

vendor:hw
country:eu
build number:stf-l09 8.0.0.360(c432)~
reflashed b360 and now i get update to b364 on settings. still no capacity buttons..

---

So, you're fine on C432.
Just flash the B360 kernel fix while you're still on B360 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75772700 ;
This will fix your buttons.
You can then do a normal update via settings

ok so i tried to update using vol up + vol down + power button, again it said software install failed
inside those rar file got 2 file, 1 is UPDATE.APP which is 4gb++ and another one is update_STF-L09_hw_eu.app size around 1.4gb.
try update with 4gb file, appear 5% loading and then appear software install failed, same with 1.4gb file...
the only option i got is reboot system now when the error come out..
already did wipe cache & data before i do the update..
any idea? am i doing wrong step?

---

I have the same problem...When the installation begins, it stops at 5%
My phone is turned off. I tried to install recovery but got nothing
any idea please
