Bootloop after flashing kernel - Honor 9 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone ! I have a big issue :
I installed the following rom OpenKirin's AOSP Treble Oreo For Honor 9. But, the capacity buttons didn't work at all.
So I went to the following topic [Oreo] [TWRP 3.2.1-0] [0.3] [+Capacitive fix].
This topic said that I "just" had to flash the kernel to get my capacitive buttons working again, but now, my phone can't boot at all. It keeps on restarting and shows me the honor disclaimer then the honor blue starting screen and it loops.
So can you guys tell me is there any fix or is my phone a brick, knowing that I still can access the fastboot and TWRP?
Thanks

You flash a B360's kernel over a build which is not B360 ; So bootloops.
What stock firmware were you on before flashing AOSP system ?

Just flash back the stock kernel from your firmware version before AOSP.

Thank you for being that fast, I had the STF-L09C432B365 firmware.

So extract the stock kernel img (ramdisk) from the Update.app file included in the file update.zip from this firmware.
Use a windows app called HuaweiUpdateExtractor

Then wait for a B365 kernel that fixes buttons.
(Or go back to stock B360 for applying the b360 kernel fix)

OK, so once it's extracted I just have to do a ./fastboot flash kernel <my_extracted_stock_kernel>.img right?
I'll try it, once I finish to install my VM (I have a mac ><)

Well it didn't work :/

Code:
./fastboot flash kernel KERNEL.img
does not work ? What does it output ?
(By the way adb and fastboot are working just fine on osx without need of a VM for those.)

Really? I have made a thread on Guides with all stock EMUI8 kernels, ramdisks and recoveries for easy access to people but i guess no one noticed... why do i bother...

No need to be offended mate, I tried all your files with the exact same commands, and none is working on my device

I did the same command, here's the log :
Code:
➜ platform-tools ./fastboot flash kernel ~/foo/KERNEL.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'kernel' (24576 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.650s]
writing 'kernel'...
OKAY [ 0.262s]
I still have a bootloop... And thanks for the VM advice, but you told me to use HuaweiUpdateExtractor which only works on Windows, so I still had to use a VM. Anyway, my previous message wasn't clear about that point, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Do you have any other suggestion? I start to doubt about my original build number, do you know if I can cat the original stock kernel with the adb shell, or if I can get out of the loop with some others kernel and ramdisks imgs?
Thank you guys

You'll need stock kernel of your actual build.
So it's seems you were not STF-L09C432B365 kernel as you still are bootlooping.
Try with stock kernels from :
STF-L09C432B364
STF-L09C432B363
STF-L09C432B362
STF-L09C432B360
You could try with images provided by JBolho : https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=266088

As I said, I tried them already, but I'll try again. BTW the B360_kernel.img is missing inside JBolho's repo

Maybe he messed something when uploading them.
Maybe you were not on one of those.

Ok, is there any other version I can try? Or maybe my process is wrong, I do the same commands, and in the same order as Jbolho describes in his post.
Except for the recovery flash, does it matter? Because since that I don't have the erecovery anymore, before I still had it in combination with the twrp.
Thanks

No, I didn't mess anything, checked them already, all in the same folder on AFH and properly uploaded.
And I never stated that the B360 fixed kernel was in my repo, I point it to zxz0O0's thread.
What I would recommend is to flash recovery and ramdisk too, not just kernel (corresponding to previously installed firmware of course)

@dandas Please note that recovery & erecovery are two differents mode.

help !!

That's confusing to say the least. You flashed the kernel on B172 firmware??? That's Nougat firmware! No wonder you screwed everything up. Don't mess with board software and stuff like that, you have to install the firmware with dload method probably.

how to install TWRP in latest stock rom 20171201

hi guys!
Anyone knows how to install twrp in the latest stock rom?

it might not have loaded because it was maybe an updated twrp eith an old preloader, try flashing an older twrp or update preloader

Hi,
I'm unsure if this method will work for you, but I also had "preloader Error message" in FlashTools trying to flash TWRP in Stock Rom 2016810 while trying to flash the Eragon ROM.
As the Stock ROM you are using (20171201) is kinda newer than stock 2016810 Im kinda assuming it should work the same.
In order for it to flash without errors, I did the following and worked fine :
Use FlashTools ver v5.1612 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940027
Download your stock rom 20171201
https://mega.nz/#!atZAyKxb!i6jpNQNR_VZZ3nS79LhL2xi78WHx7XI4gKFllc8 RJKw
Then download TWRP_3.0.2.8.zip here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24727369092696060
Unzip all and and copy the "MT6755_Android_scatter" & "recovery.img" from TWRP_3.0.2.8 folder into the Elephone_P9000_20170112 Rom folder.
Then open Flash Tools - add the scatter file from the Elephone_P9000_20170112 Rom folder
Untick everything in flashtools except the recovery and then try to flash, hopefully it will work for you too. without errors '

Hi, I think this maybe to do with the new preloader etc..
I read this in the thread for TWRP for Elephone P9000 3.0.2-8:
1. load scatter.txt in earlier post.
2. select preloader, lk and boot imgs, location of these from the stock 20160810 ROM.
3. select recovery, location of TWRP img.
4. unselect everything else.

Click to collapse
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/el...hone-p9000-t3426678/post70713618#post70713618
So maybe Unzip the 20171201 Rom, copy TWRP scatter & recovery.img to this folder, open flash tools and select recovery and point to recovery.img
But also select preloader, lk and boot img (double check they are pointing to corresponding files from the 20171201 ROM
Again, I am unsure if that will work but as I noticed the above post in the TWRP thread, thought it maybe relevant to your issue
PS: Windows 10 can be awkward with splash tools at times, I have windows 10 but in order for it to work - I have to press the Download in SplashTools, kinda count to 5, then hold vol + and then attach USB to my phone and it works fine
If your device already rooted, you can also install flashyfi and flash the .img file.

I've wasted countless hours trying to get spf to work with my windows 10 machine. Your solution worked like a charm, the flashing was successful (managed to get the process to work when before I was getting only preloader errors), however I still don't have twrp but the standard android recovery. Have you got any other solution that I should try? Cheers.

Have you tried pressing power and then keep finger pressed on vol up to go straight to TWRP recovery and then flashing a new ROM in TWRP ?
I didn't do that as I didn't have another rom saved in my phone. What I eventually managed to do was flash the official nougat via spf tool. I'm saying eventually because this piece of crap windows 10 didn't want to make the connection even with the volume up button. When I was going to give up and order a new phone, it connected and now I am happy even though I don't have twrp nor root, but not going to risk it again. Thanks again for your help though, greatly appreciated.

Issue with flashing Nougat, TWRP don't work

Hi I had Xpower5 Rom. I wanted to try new Nougat. I had many issues with flash (error of processing system.sin and loader.sin). I dont know how now it work. After that I flashed AndroPlus 43 kernel and TWRP 3.0.2. Kernel works but No white led on startup and no recovery there (also adb reboot recovery not work) . I tried another img of twrp and nothing changed. Any idea how install recovery? Anybody has the same problem with flashing? Thanks
As this phone doesn't support universal recovery and only sports a ota partition that can be used for recovery but then requires a kernel that supports booting recovery from ota partition, it's a hustle to use non standard recovery systems.
Is there even a nougat compatible kernel with included TWRP ota boot support for this phone?
This should work

Also patching the stock kernel with the rootkernel tool integrates working twrp.

Flash firmware 5.11 first and flash nougat firmware afterwards.
This should work
Not work as well
the 3.1 3.0.2 TWRP bundled in rootkernel 5.23 messess up the internal permissions, so it will appear to work until you try and recover, or - TWRP runs a wipe with mkext4fs

Yeah, going back to Lollipop and going all the way up to Nougat works, this is what happened to me. I thought I had a psuedo-recovery-dual system boot .... where i could switch between Marshmallow and Nougat
But then I decided to factory reset, and that started all the problems.

Stuck in TWRP on nougat

I currently have this problem that when I flash a version of TWRP(have tried both 3.0.2 and 3.1.0) I cannot reboot my current OS(have tried both stock 376 and 378). Simply pressing the power button will result in recovery mode. Stranger still, when i flashed a ROM as a zip out of twrp, it actually booted up, but then I could no longer return to recovery mode, despite fiddling around mith multiple button combinations.
Seems as though i am missing something obvious, as i have not found a thread regarding a similar issue. Anybody have a clue as to what it might be?

try flashing ftf
I've been flashing the stock firmware(s) as ftf using flashtool (newest version) and xperifirm, that's why I think it's so odd. Before flashing TWRP, the stock ROM boots up and everything works as it should. After flashing TWRP, it only boots up into recovery.

In this case I was able to flash the ROM .zip out of TWRP and boot into the ROM. Afterwards I could no longer enter TWRP though.
In both cases, after (re)flashing TWRP, I'd get stuck in recovery.

To me it seems like you are just flashing twrp to the wrong partition.
How do you flash it?
You have to flash it with command:
Fastboot flash recovery "twrp.img"

I currently have this problem that when I flash a version of TWRP(have tried both 3.0.2 and 3.1.0) I cannot reboot my current OS(have tried both stock 376 and 378). Simply pressing the power button will result in recovery mode. Stranger still, when i flashed a ROM as a zip out of twrp, it actually booted up, but then I could no longer return to recovery mode, despite fiddling around mith multiple button combinations.
Seems as though i am missing something obvious, as i have not found a thread regarding a similar issue. Anybody have a clue as to what it might be?

oh hai
just wanted to link you in on this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5...m-fix-twrp-t3560135/post71433741#post71433741
Hey fellas, I'm back. Excuse my absence, currently busy with exams.
It seems as though @Gewiz was correct. I was trying to flash twrp over "Flashtool>fastboot mode>select kernel to flash", which probably targets the wrong partition. Instead I now used "Flashtool>fastboot mode>reboot into fastboot mode via fastboot" and flashed it using the standard cmd window line ("fastboot flash recovery twrp.img") and it seems to have worked.
Thanks to everyone on this thread!

Have you tried to do a restore yet?
Just wanted to ask so I can isolate twrp with rootkernel

Huawei GR5 KII-L21C185 wrong info problem

Phone was ok with this version KII-L21C185B321CUSTC185D001, I tried to reflash but I couldn't find the same version in .app format. I tried to downgrade to KII-L21C185B310CUSTC185D001 through SDCard but it failed. I used ADB to flash KII-L21C185B310CUSTC185D001 through those commands:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
Fastboot flash cust CUST.img
All went fine except the cust file. Phone is working but with wrong info in the about panel as it has build 310 with emui 4.0.2 interface and it couldn't make both OTA or SDcard updates although I had the new update notification.
I used TWRP backup from XDA (GR5+TWRP+backup_KII-L21C185B130.rar) to go back to stock loilpop build 140 from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...depot-t3328288. Phone has correct info in the about panel build 130 lilopop but with no fingerprint menu and it can't make both OTA or SDcrad updates.
Any help would be appreciated. Regards.

I have already used this package (HUAWEI GR5 Firmware (KII-L21, Android 6.0.1, EMUI 4.0, C185B310CUSTC185D004)) before with my phone without any problem then I OTA upadted the phone to KII-L21C185B321CUSTC185D001. I tried to clean flash the phone after some bugs with viper4android and such mods but I couldn't find full flash KII-L21C185B321CUSTC185D001 so I tried dload method to downgrade to the previous full build (C185B310CUSTC185D004) which is available but it failed at 5%. So I extracted the rom files from (C185B310CUSTC185D004) and pushed them with ADB then I have the wrong info problem and I couldn't make SD card or OTA updates. I tried TWRP backup from device sticky thread and I couldn't make SD card or OTA updates plus fingerprint is not working.

Stuck on huawei erecovery

Hello.
My honor 9 (stf al00) cant boot. It stuck on huawei erecovery.
I've tried hard reset, wipe cache & wipe data but still stuck.
And also I dont have the driver.
Can anyone please help me.
What happened before ?
You were on nougat or oreo ? which build ?
Which region ? C00 ? or rebranded C432 or else ?

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
honor 9 stf-al00
phone unlocked and frp unlock
bricked the phone installing oreo.
twrp is installed but all the roms i flash i get error 9.
dload with update.app get stuck at 5% and after "system update failed"
i also extracted update.app and i can flashed boot,kernel and recovery but i get an error flashing system
At this point i just want the phone running anything but everything that i do doenst work

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 ?

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
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[/QUOTE]
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.

i used HuRUpdater and worked. thank you! cant update to b362 through settings tho
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

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
