I'm attempting to reset my Mate 10 Pro completely to stock and I successfully unrooted the phone but then when I attempt to relock the phone using "fastboot oem relock [unlock code]" it sends me to the relock screen, and I select relock. From there it goes through the factory reset and relocking process and when it's done, it says that it successfully relocked the device. Then it reboots me back to the stock recovery and that's where I'm now stuck. If I hit reboot it reboots back to recovery, and shutting down and using the power button to turn on does the same. Any ideas? I unlocked it AGAIN after this happened and it boots up normally. I tried to use the HWOTA8_Mate10 tool to relock it, and it resulted in the same way as the manual method. Any ideas?

Do you have any modified partitions, twrp?
I would try the repack script in HWOTA8 and select Lock. This will update and then Lock phone rather than Relock.
If the repack script works that is.
You can take a look at the script and see what it does. I think it just adds the lock function to updater-script.
Else I guess you could just do a full update, then relock.

I do have twrp, I tried to flash stock recovery but I'm getting "partition length get error". I'm trying to use the repack script but it says I need update_data_public.zip, which I can't seem to find. I do have update.zip though.
Edit: I should probably also add that the model I'm using is BLA-A09
Edit 2: Dug deeper and found how to get the remaining 2 zips. I tried to use the tool to update and lock but it gives me "Unable to patch file or file already patched! Code: 1"

Well, are you flashing stock recovery to recovery_ramdisk?
E.g. fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
HWOTA is outdated, while it shouldn't need to patch it will fail because the things it tries to patch have changed.
But try just flashing back stock recovery and then relock.

I messed around some more and still unsuccessful. I can successfully flash the stock recovery (when I used adb reboot recovery it takes me to the stock recovery instead of TWRP) but I'm still unable to get out of the recovery screen when I relock the phone. I tried to use the tool (even thought you said it was outdated I gave it a shot) and use "replace_recovery" but that still didn't work. Also I should note that on my fastboot screen it says my FRP is unlocked, not sure if that has any effect though.

Flash FullOTA to your current firmware using either HWOTA or HuRUpdater (from TWRP, do not keep twrp after).
Then try relock after that.

I am new to cell phone mods. My goal was to gain some experience by rooting and replacing the os image on my Atrix 4G. I use it for my alarm clock which uses an application that won't run on newer version of android than v2.x.x. I successfully rooted and installed super use. I then installed Titanium Backup and did a full backup to sdcard. I installed Rom Manager, chose ClockworkMod Recovery and then the correct image, and told it to flash the recovery partition. Rebooted. Got an error with the android logo and a circle with a triangle. Went back to all the how to's and attempted to install unlockable_bootloader. It now comes up to rsd, seems to fail, then goes into fastboot. Fastboot devices sees it and I can reboot from fastboot but it goes back to the same place. HELP.
Forget about any and all automatic methods, including ROM manager and similar. Good old-fashioned manual methods work best.

I think I have read all the posts and how to's on manually flashing. Temporarily recovered but persued my goal of learning something. Only thing it can do now is fastboot when I hold the volume key UP while restarting. Used to be down but that's gone. RSD protocol is no more. Says "Failed to boot 1" when restarting. Something I flashed apparently relocked the boot loader and who knows what else I've screwed up. Fastboot -w indicates it cas erase the cache and userdata partitions. Surely there is still hope for this as I can still access fastboot. Can you give a little help please?

I previously found a thread that described that process and tried it. Fastboot reported it failed flashing recovery.
That usually happens if the BL is not unlocked (properly).

reflash the pudding sbf to unlock the bl, then go ahead and flash recovery as advised. if I remember correctly, when it says failed to boot 1, its automatically in rsd, which means just hook it up and let rsd lite do its job then fastboot for recovery

Installed pudding successfully with RSD Lite. Attempted to flash recovery with "fastboot flash recovery image_name". Reports "sending recovery" and then "writing recovery". When I reboot, it still has has the stock recovery utility.Otherwise, I'm back to stock 2.3.6 except that it reports unlocked upon rebooting. Am I not flashing the correct thing? Thanks for the pointers.

hmm, sounds like you're on the 145 build of 2.3.6. Check to see what your phone says in about phone. its going to give you a system version ending in 141 or 145.

This one says "4.5.141". Before undertaking to hack this piece, it was 4.5.145. I have flashed preinstall and boot and attempted to flash recovery. I don't know where it stores the build number. Could it be reporting .141 while really .145 ? I am confident the .145 is correct because we have two phones purchased the same day from same vendor and the other reports .145. I also remember it as .145 but my memory is pretty faulty.

ok. I think the file we need to look for in order to fix this is in system/etc. its called install-recovery.sh and that file forces stock recovery to be installed. delete that file and try flashing the custom recovery.

When I bricked my atrix i used the xatrix tool to unbrick it. works really well and once unbricked was fully unlocked so was easy to flash new roms
xatrix (dot) webs (dot) com
once on there website click to download tab to get the downloads
This tool will remove everything from phone root, unlock and install cwm. What you do after that is upto you. sometimes its easier to start over then figure out what went wrong when installing a mod.
My problem is now this, I'm recovered, rooted, and unlocked. If I flash recovery with fastboot, it says I am successful but when I reboot the original recovery image still exists.
And thats the part that confuses me. It says 141, but the recovery issue is acting like its a 145. I'm stumped, but i do believe there is an install-recovery.sh script or something thats preventing this thing from sticking after flashing. I'm really baffled by this b/c i ran 141 for the longest time, i did all my rooting, unlocking, and recovery flashing on 141, and got no issues. I could advise that you download and flash the ICS leak (the true leak, not the ROMs we have available) via fastboot and see if that changes the situation, but i don't want to advise you to do something and then a bigger mess appears.

sounds like you had 145 installed and flashed 141 over it without doing a wipe first. i would use cwm recovery and do a factory reset wipe all data and flash the rom you want to run.

he can't get cwm installed. it may say it gets flashed correctly, but he cannot get cwm to show up and be usable.
as a work around, via fastboot, run the commands:
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
that would cover what factory reset does.

That should do it. If for some reason it doesnt the xatrix tool will wipe everything off the phone and start it over with 141 unlocked bootloader, with cwm. Only automated tool i found that will unbrick phone with rsd lite. Make sure phone is fully charged before starting xatrix tool as it wipes battery fast and if it dies you will need to start over.
Erase cashe was successful, erase data failed. Found reference to additional file to delete but it did not exist either. If I conttinue, I will repost. Thanks for everyone's effort trying to get this working.
Hi,
I unlocked my Honor 9 bootloader using the "fastboot oem unlock 'unlock key'" method.
After that it did low level reset or something of the sort and booted to Android.
After that I wanted to install TWRP using fastboot, the problem is that every time I do "adb reboot bootloader" I get a message the device cannot be trusted (see pic) and it boots to android.
I tried pressing power button, up button (this gets me to the recovery), but it always gets back to Android and not to fastboot.
What can I do???
Thank you

How do I do that, use the original recovery?
OK, I managed to get to the bootloader by turning off the phone, pressing the volume down button and connecting the USB cable.
I flashed twrp and somehow booted to the recovery I wanted to flash the supersu.zip but all the folders and file names in the sdcard were gibberish.
I rebooted and everything was ok (not gibberish) but instead of having twrp I got the original recovery back.
Since then even if I flash using fastboot the twrp recovery I keep getting the original recovery.
In the fastboot screen there's a message "Android reboot reason: bootloader NA reboot_enter_fastboot_common_func" is it normal? (see pic)
And one last question, should I use SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip or Magisk-v14.0.zip to root?
UPDATE:
I managed to get twrp working.
I did fastboot oem relock, and then unlocked the bootloader again, and it booted to twrp (without re-flashing twrp).
When I tried to flash supersu all the files were gibberish (see pic), what am I missing?
If I wipe data it seems fine, but then I boot to system to copy the supersu file and once I load twrp it is gibberish again.
Also should I use SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip or Magisk-v14.0.zip to root?
Appreciate any help I can get.
This mate is called encryption
Put the SuperSU zip on a SD card and you should be able to flash it without any problems if you use the latest beta release.
Magisk is another story.

I screwed up my phone lol, when I was updating it to oreo, I didn't know that the update.zip file was corrupted.
Now I'm stuck on
Error!
Func NO : 9 (hifi image)
Error NO : 1 (security image failed)
My version was...
STF-L09C185B170
What i tried to install that failed is...
STF-L09C185B361 (8.0.0.361)
I can still go to fastboot with everything unlocked, I can also flash a twrp recovery, but only by typing flash recovery_ramdisk(instead "recovery"), and when I try to do the update method by pressing vol up, vol down, and power, it doesnt take me to the update section, it just show me a crashed screen, then goes back to error message.
I also tried volup and power, I can't seem to go to twrp(I think booting to twrp and flashing zip files can be one of the only ways to fix this). Is there a way to go to twrp recovery using fastboot?
I've also tried flashing extracted files from update.app manually, it doesn't work. Some files can be flashed, while some can't.
Please I'm begging u guys, pls halp :crying:
also I guess the lesson here is: double check if your file is corrupted before installing/flashing
First, what is the way you took triying to update ?
(When done from system UI, official or FF, there is an integrity check of downloaded files.)
It seems you got oreo partition scheme during your failed update.
First see this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/fastboot-erecovery-recovery-upgrade-mode-t3543441
Try to restore using erecovery. (download and update firmware via wifi)
If not working you could use HWOTA8.
For launching recovery (stock or twrp) from bootloader type "fastboot reboot recovery".

I downloaded the oreo file using a browser and installed it with HWOTA, everything got inserted into my device, but the update failed and it gave me the error when I reboot. Also I can't get to erecovery or upgrade mode(that's the crashed screen), and "fastboot reboot recovery" doesn't work, it just show me a list of commands(which I assume happens if the command is invalid).
Ok I'll try HWOTA8, but I need to configure it so it recognizes my device, only my adb recognizes it.
Do 'fastboot devices work'?

Nah, I figured it out, I backed up my adb folder and just merged hwota8 with it. Yes, it does work.
Btw how do I fully turn off the device? it just keeps bootlooping if i hold down the volup and power key, maybe this is the reason why I can't get into twrp recovery.
My only hope is that I can flash something on fastboot that will let me go to update mode(or erecovery) or twrp.
Like.. anything, even boot.img fails when I try to flash it. It must be stuck on oreo partition.
Also I did considered dc phoenix, but I don't have the money to pay for an account. Man, why is unbricking not free on huawei devices? That guy prolly made a fortune by now(for holding everyone with unbrick leverage lel), and it's a huge mistake for me to fiddle with a huawei device, it has so many problems with twrp and root.
If anyone can find a way to do unbrick it, like anything, that would be great.

I used it but it didn't worked, I need to be either booted in the phone's os or inside twrp recovery bec. all of the commands executed by hwota8 are adb shell, not fastboot.

Oh yeah, thanks for helping out.
Note: Since Oreo, partitions names have changed ; "recovery" changed to "recovery_ramdisk" now.
Use this command to flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk YourStockOrTwrpRecovery.img
Use oreo stock recovery or oreo twrp.

I already did that, read the OP. Like I said, I can't boot into any recovery, not twrp not stock, not even upgrade mode, nothing.
As for hwota8, nope, it doesnt start from the bootloader, it's already trying to use the adb shell commands.
Anyway I'm taking all chances, I'm trying to research oreo's partitions names, and I'm also trying to find out how to bypass this message "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" bec. it might be the only way I can salvage this phone.
edit: ok im trying hwota8 again, maybe i missed something, and yes it has fastboot, sorry i was rushing but im trying again now, i'll post my progress later
Hi all,
Currently running Oreo (via OldDroid manual update) then LOS 15.1 (Berkley unofficial) on top, which is great but would like NFC, buttons, flashlight.
What is the best method to reinstate this functionality? I have tried the rollback for OldDroid rollback to no avail. I believe this method assumes you are rooted, which i am not.
Happy to be on EMUI 5 if necessary as i believe i can now update to Oreo OTA.
Cheers
Can i provide further pertinent information or ask elsewhere to get replies?
What did you do in the fist place to go from stock oreo to LOS 15.0 ; any links ?
Thank you.
I flashed the system image using "fastboot flash system system.img" via article https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-honor-view-10-huawei-mate-10-pro-project-treble/
Cheers
I think, once unrooted, you'll have to flash back stock system.

Great, thank you. I am not rooted so I extracted the system.img from STF-L09SC432B360a (from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=STF-L09&firmware_page=0) using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-extracting-stock-firmware-files-t3756733
Then using that stock emui 8 system image:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
I receive the following error:
error: cannot load 'SYSTEM.img'
Any ideas?
Cheers
Another attempt at system.img extract using my windows box and the windows software referred to in https://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...files-t3756733.
This time i was able to flash the system.img successfully. When the device booted, it boot looped 3/4 times then i received :
Huawei eRecovery :
"Serious problems occurred when the phone boot, you are recommended to do factory data reset
NOTE: user data will be wiped after recovery".
I performed this reset and device booted to TWRP some commands took place but too quick (saw selinux buts thats it). Device rebooted twice then loaded Huawei eRecovery where the only option is :
Download latest version and recovery
Restore system with wifi
Entered wifi details
Getting package info from server
Getting package info failed.
Booting into TWRP the 'Factory Reset' option performs the same process that i saw when Huawei eRecovery recommended the factory data reset. Some i'm confident in what happened at that point now. Unsure as to what to try at this point. The phone does not boot into EMUI and will only boot to Huawei eRecovery.
The bootloader is unlocked, as per the process to install LineageOS 15.1 in the link in the OP. I've not checked if its still unlocked, but guess that could be causing a problem?
Just checked and bootloader is unlocked.
Interestingly the process to re lock it from the Huawei site (https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_step) shows that you have to use the same command to lock the bootloader as to lock it again:
Note: to re-lock the bootloader after unlocking it, restore the device’s software to the Huawei official version using a microSD card then switch the device to fastboot mode and enter “fastboot oem unlock ****************” in the computer’s command prompt, where * refers to the 16-digit unlock password. The device will then restart, and the bootloader lock status will change to “Bootloader Lock State: RELOCKED”.
If i follow those instructions i get the below error:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock **************** <-my 16 digit code
...
FAILED (remote: already fastboot unlocked)
Stop trying to lock your bootloader, it won't help you. Interresing info though.
Did it occur to you that after flashing back successfully system.img it could have been good to flash back stock recovery over twrp ?
This way you would have bootloop 3 or 4 times, and then stock recovery would have launch, not twrp.
I think a format system from this stock recovery, not twrp, would have solve your problem.
Thanks. So I can leave the boot loader unlocked at this point and run stock emui? I'll flash stock recovery. Perhaps that will suggest factory reset and then I'll be able to boot.
Thanks again.

In order to revert to the stock recovery is it necessary to flash all three recovery images from the update.app file? :
recovery_ramdisk
recovery_vendor
recovery_vbmeta
Looking at flashing the recovery_ramdisk image with the stock version i have extracted using the below:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img
Noticed the stock recovery_ramdisk i extracted has a filename of 'RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img', not ending in 'K' for 'RAMDISK. Presumably i can simply rename my recovery_ramdisk to "RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img" unless a 15 character filename is a limitation, or adjust my fastboot command to :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_[B]RAMDIS[/B].img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Did the trick to boot back into EMUI 8. However, i still have an intermittent torch/flashlight and the navigation keys/buttons do not work.
Any ideas on where i go from here?

You'll need to be unrooted and with stock recovery for applying ota when it will be available.
I don't know if you'll need stock kernel for ota...

Great, i should be able to meet this criteria quite easily then :
+ I've never rooted the device
+ I have reverted to stock recovery
+ I flashed the stock kernel over the top of the button fix kernel mentioned earlier in this thread.
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

That seemed to do the trick! Ta.
Hi everyone,
I just replaced my home security panel into my old sgp311.
It is on stock 5.1.1, just rooted, with locked bootloader.
all things are just going fine and I'm finishing few very end steps, I made a wrong decision, which is install xposed without flashing zip file, I tried to copy/overwrite all the files from the ZIP to system and I thought if I simply make every files with right permission, I won't be messed up, yes I know it is not that easy.
Now I got a bootloop sgp311, I can put it into fastboot or download mode, I tried
Code:
fastboot boot twrp_various_versions.img,
hope it could boot into TWRP recovery and I can flash xposed ZIP and make it come back to earth again but, no.
Is there still a way?
Thanks.
Hak.

I think you have to reinstall everything from Flashtool (0.9.18.6) or restore with xperia-companion.
fastboot won't flash anything on a locked bootloader. It won't boot afterwards.

Thank you.
I flashed with flashtool and leave checkbox "wipe userdata" blank, now seems everything but root is untouched.
