Here is my issue, will try to explain as much as I can:
So I got the phone only booting to the LG logo and no further. So I read a couple threads which were mentioning about the LG Flash tool that I could try to use to restore the device, that did not work. So I tried to do Fastboot to see if that would help in any way. After trying, I was able to get Fastboot using @Lelus method ,now I cant get back the S/W upgrade mode, trying everything i could think of and still no progress. Would really love to fix this device and appreciate any help I can get.
days , I can help you. First download the drivers for your phone (if you have already remove them and re-load )
Next, download the LG Mobile Support Tool .
then go to your phone S / W upragade Mode (Press the volume up or down on the start)
then start the support tool as an administrator.
then press the Settings update recovery .
on the 90% of the phone restarts functional.
If you have any problem just say it to me!

Already tried all that. Phone does not boot or nothing. I can only access fastboot. I cant even flash the ICS u and x boot. When I try it says remote: partition doesn't exist.
Can you flash recovery through fastboot, and then acces it? I had similiar problem to yours, bricked my phone, barley made it to fastboot, i then flashed recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then booted to recovery and applied backup, or you might aswell flash a rom, if you don't have rom on your SD, use other phone to put ROM on sd, or card reader etc., the just install it. Just incase. i added recovery.img to my post.
Forgot to mention, after flashing recovery, try fastboot reboot recovery

Hi all,
I have a small problem, my phone does not boot and hanging on Logo. Now i can boot to fastboot menu, but i cannot really use it since i have FRP lock . Is there any chance to baypass it to make possible to flash recovery boot.img ?

Hi, back again
As i can see, try not to mess with the names :revocery...
When you want to flash the boot.img don't change that name.
Just flash it like : fastboot flash boot boot.img
Use my last boot.img which i sent you. That's a good one out of my backup.
For the FRP (perhaps edit your thread tiltle ) i have no answer in a minute. Did the "fastboot oem unlock" gave anything better ?

You cannot use this method since i have only FastBoot feature, adb is not possible to use, since phone never boot. This method can be used only for phones what can boot correctly, so unfortunately useless for me. but thx for link

There was a time when xda where the place to get the right answer and quick!
nowadays most topics are full of people with same problem and no dev to come to help, pity.
on topic: I have the same problem, ( mine is a Y6 pro) and before bricking it I had debugging and oem unlock enabled but now can't flash boot etc using fastboot ( error , denied ..) and can't use spflashtools either : preloader vcom appears for 1 second and then disappears and phone turns on.
tried many drivers, 3 Os'es (7, 8.1 ,10) still no luck.

the same issue
Good day, i have the same issue on my p9 EVA-L19.
FRP lock. And i can't do anything...
My warranty says that they cannot recover data from the phone, but the information is very important. I need to unlock FRP and somehow boot into TWRP or something to recover my data.
Please help someone if you had a same issue and results.
For the Huawei Y6 you can return to Stock.
Try to fastboot boot recovery-twrp.img and put your stock firmware (dload) folder to the rootdir at your sdcard.
Reboot your device to bootloader and hold down vol+ + vol- and use the command: fastboot boot stockrecovery.img (keep the keys pressed until the stock recovery comes up and starts installing your stock rom.
You will see an emui logo and the recovery will install the complete stock rom if you did everything right.
Retry to boot the stock recovery with this way if it is not working at the first try.
EDIT: after i wiped /system and and all the other stuff i was able to flash stock recovery via fastboot.

Try to do:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This will boot up the device with the given image. With that you can put a custom rom to your sd-card and flash it.
I will upload a Nandroid (stock system, recovery, boot) from my Y6 SCL-L01 soon.
With that you can restore boot and recovery with twrp. For this way you don't need to have a frp unlock.
Procedure:
fastboot boot recovery-twrp.img
Put your stock firmware (dload folder) to the sdcard.
Put my Nandroid to your sdcard.
Restore my Nandroid, reboot your device with Vol+ and Vol- pressed.
This way only works for SCL-L01 up to SCL-L04.
I need to create an extra recovery.img that includes a dt image that fits for all SCL variants.
Work in progress...
I have just removed frp today, but its not free method, unfortunately
Hi,
Last week I got my phone stuck in a bootloop which led to me making a lot of mistakes, I flashed a boot.img as a kernel, I deleted my entire software, and I lost a lot of files. I currently have my phone in an error mode, it says I have to update the system again. I have access to fastboot but I do not have access to twrp (flashing the recovery doesn't work).
Can anyone help me with this problem?

I can get in both fastboot and error mode, I think fastboot is the most useful. It says PHONE Unlocked and FRP unlocked.

I don't know for sure which parts I messed up, but I do know these thing: I don't have an OS installed, and my kernel is a boot.img.
I don't know my region number for sure, but according to this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/8-lite/how-to/huawei-regional-codes-t3740473 it should be C432.
My build number is ANE-LX1 8.0.0.126 (C432) and I should have a TWRP backup on my sd card from the moment my phone was only bootlooping.

Do you have currently TWRP installed?
-Boot in the TWRP recovery and restore your backup.
-If your backup don't have all partitions let me know and I'll send you what is missing.
If you currently don't have TWRP installed?
-Go to fastboot mode and flash this TWRP
If boot then should be ok.
If remains bootlooping then you can wipe cache and reboot
If remains bootlooping you can test flash B126 with HuRUpdater

I can't install TWRP, I currently install it by flashing the file as a recovery_ramdisk.
After it is flashed I execute the command fastboot reboot and hold volume up whilst disconnecting my phone from my PC.
Do you have any tips?

I don't believe that fastboot boot can work...
That is strange...
Can you flash TWRP one more time?
After successful flash don't use the command fastboot reboot
Unplug the USB cable and press ON/OFF and VOL+ and stay pressings until you see TWRP screen.

My TWRP is completely lost and the tool doesn't seem to work, I wiped data cache and dalvik.
When you flash a rom aren't you just supposed to flash the rom itself, when I bricked my phone by installing Xposed I just reflashed the rom it's sytem image and a boot image. How should I do it?
Apologies if I should have searched harder. My understanding is that touch screen issues like this happen when the firmware you flash isn't quite compatible with your device. I've triple checked the stuff I downloaded, and I'm not seeing how it could be that. Maybe I did something else stupid? This is my first time rooting anything.
Product/Variant (as seen in bootloader): sofia XT2041-4 64GB PVT
The boot.img I downloaded: lolinet's firmware/moto/sofia/official/RETUS/ (the august 31 one. Currently trying with the earlier one, but the download is taking forever)
Magisk version: 7.5.1
I only have a linux laptop, so the rescue and smart assistant appears to be off the table
Here's what I did:
Downloaded the boot.img from lolinet
patched it using magisk
flashed it using fastboot
How I flashed it:
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805261312 bytes
sending 'boot_b' (12136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.376s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.069s]
finished. total time: 0.446s
I booted up after this, and I couldn't use the touchscreen. Then I noticed the boot_b thing, so I did the following to do both partitions (although I have no idea if this is what you're supposed to do):
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805261312 bytes
sending 'boot_a' (12136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.350s]

sending 'boot_b' (12136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.370s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.214s]
finished. total time: 0.584s
No dice..
Next, I tried to just use the unpatched boot.img to restore things.
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot_a XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPMS30.80-109-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml/boot.img

OKAY [ 1.949s]

OKAY [ 0.525s]
finished. total time: 2.474s
once again, no dice..this time I didn't even get to the lockscreen. Just stuck on the moto logo
Any idea what I've done wrong? Would really appreciate some help with this.
Update: I tried with the other boot.img from lolinet, doesn't get to lockscreen. Then I tried a factory reset with twrp, and flashing the earlier boot.img and I got to the setup screen, but still no touch.
Update 2: I managed to get omnirom flashed, and that's working so far! I am still curious to know why the touch screen issues popped up..will be useful next time I want to flash stock
check the forums for the g7 play, I've found topics about that kind of issue.
There's a few touchscreen vendors used for the same device, and they use different drivers basically.
Got a link by any chance? The ones I've seen are twrp related or because of the wrong firmware.
Any idea how to figure out which set is right for my phone?
Here is solution: get full ROM through LMSA and flash components through bootloader and fastbootd
* boot, recovery, dtbo, vbmeta, super flashed in fastbootd (adb reboot fastboot)
* All other actions done in bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)

Can this be done without fastbootd? i stupidly flashed twrp (which doesnt work). so I dont have stock recovery to get into fastbootd. Can this be done using regular fastboot?
Or any way to flash a stock rom using just fastboot? the rom i have does not have 'flash all' so im not sure what to do from here.
If you get the recovery image from lolinet, you can boot that (or flash recovery) and then enter fastbootd

Solution:
Flash everything ***except*** those flashed in fastbootd
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
The last resort: use LMSA rescue, but your phone will be wiped

Hello friend,
Did you ever resolve your issue with the touchscreen?
I've just down the same thing using Magisk. Everything was fine until I flashed the magisk.patched.img. The device booted up but the touchscreen doesn’t work no matter what.
Please let me know of your solution.
Thank you kindly.

i would like to ask a question, when ur g8 wasnt working did the phone charge or not? cus mine dont show how much battery i have
Sorry I honestly cannot recall. I was so frustrated at that time, blinded to get the root to work that I did not notice.
Hello guys...
So, without going too much into details of how I idiotically f-ed up pretty much everything... I just want to say that I've already lost about 12 hours reading through the forum trying to solve the problem and to understand how everything works, and by what I understood... I bricked the phone?
Firstly, I managed to unlock the bootloader with the HCU Client (Phone unlocked, FRP unlocked). At some points I've managed to boot into TWRP's, but I flashed them without understanding that I should have installed the recommended ones by the guys on this forum instead of the official one, with which I wiped System and Data partition.
I've tried hard but never managed to boot any of the Custom ROMs available, especially the LineageOS 16 which I wanted but later on, through a specific TWRP which gave an error information that it's meant for Hisilicon, and not for Kirin SoC...
I also had no idea when I was booting into recovery, and when into erecovery, because I flashed TWRP over both of them... I have really no idea what was the last thing to happen, but now it seems as if I can't boot into eRecovery anymore, and whatever I try flashing to the recovery_ramdisk over Fastboot, I just always get the same error when trying to boot into recovery
Error! Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
Now I'm also having an issue because my battery has drained and it doesn't seem to turn on without it being connected to the charger or a PC.
Is there anything that I can do to make it work with any Custom ROM?

This is the result of some people posting nonsense here.
In fastboot mode run commands:
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
and post the results.

Alf is right:
Gather info about your phone with the fastboot commands -Alf- provided.
Using this info, find TWRP that 100% supports your phone. TWRP that is recommended in the "p20 lite basics" thread on XDA.
Start phone in fastboot mode. Use the fastboot boot twrp.img command to TEMPORARILY boot into TWRP (twrp.img must be in the same folder as fastboot.exe)
If TWRP hangs, reboot, try another TWRP
Once you are in TWRP, perform wipe and advanced wipe to clean up EVERY PARTITION (except sdcard) that you've messed up in the internal memory.
wipe data again to enable USB file transfer
Find a ROM for your phone. USE THE INFO FROM STEP 1 to figure out if the rom is REALLY for your model AND hardware revision of the phone. Pay attention to the device serial number and codename! ROMS developers use device codenames to indicate what model is compatible and what isnt. Huawei p20 lite has a total of 7(!!!) hardware revisions, and ROMS for each are different and likely NOT cross-compatible, which means if you install the wrong one, you will end up with a brick or a bootloop.
While TWRP is still on, Transfer ROM.zip to the phone.
In TWRP, use "Install" option to flash the ROM.
DO NOT FLASH TWRP PERMANENTLY! LET THE STOCK RECOVERY BE. FLASHING TWRP TO A/B (DUAL SLOT) DEVICES WILL 99% RESULT IN A BOOTLOOP. MOST MODERN DEVICES ARE A/B.
Flash Gapps if you need.
Reboot. Will take longer to start on the first boot.

I see. Some phones have this issue. where bootloader will not allow the "boot" command. Can be for a number of reasons:
1. Bootloader isnt "fully" unlocked, please check with the unlocking guide/service provider (if unlock was a paid service)
2. Bootloader is in "retail" mode, not a "service" mode. Some manufacturers do not intend for bootloader to be unlocked, and ship the devices with a restricted "retail" version that blocks certain commands.
also, why is your fastboot sending the "boot.img" while the command had " twrp img" as a payload?
I take it the bootloader still lets you use the "flash" command? If true, flash TWRP temporarily by "fastboot flash boot twrp.img", restart teh phone using the recovery menu keycombo

No, there is only one reason - on Huawei devices we do not have a "boot" partition since Android 7.

Thank you, I've put them in blender and set it to "lightspeed" mode
I'm sorry, but flashing that TWRP gives me the exact error I've been getting before when trying to boot into Recovery... the fact that the phone can't charge also gives some headache to actually even try to boot into the recovery. I just can't get into.
Edit: The furthest I can get to is that recovery error message.
hi there..was reading about your problem..i'm not sure if the same rules apply to all or most phones with regards to flashing twrp or using fastboot..i'm assuming that they do.
So, are you able to boot into fastboot and/or recovery?
if no to recovery, i guess it may be the wrong twrp, i hope you can at least boot into fastboot without any issues.
Personally i had a xiaomi poco f2 pro 6/128 and then i bought another same model phone but 8/256 from a fellow who almost bricked his phone..it was just blinking, when i restarted the phone, it went straight into blinking whenever i tried to boot into recovery, and it wouldnt boot into system anyway cos there was nothing there. so i figured it was stuck in recovery loop.
i was fortunate that i was able to hook up to it using my pc...then using command prompt, i was able to switch to fastboot mode..then i tried downloading and flashing different twrps, over 10 different twrps, and finally one worked..then it was smooth sailing from then on..and presto, that became my daily use phone.

Can you boot into eRecovery (into TWRP installee over eRecovery)? If so, try to flash eRecovery_ramdisk.img in TWRP,
download Here for EMUI 9.1
or Here for 8.0 (I'm not sure what is your current version).
In eRecovery mode you can charge the phone ( charging should also work in TWRP which is installed instead of eRecovery).

I can boot to the Fastboot, but unfortunately I can't boot to either recovery or erecovery... When trying to boot to the recovery by holding the power+volume up button until I see the "Your device has been unlocked" warning message + 2 seconds (which is when I see the recovery error message), or when trying to boot while plugged into USB also holding the power+volume up button just leaves me at "Your device is booting now...." forever

Download stock Recovery Oreo

Flash it in fastboot
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK-ANE-8.0.img
- fastboot reboot
Then try to boot into Recovery.
What exactly did you do after unlocking your phone? Did you upgrade back to A9? If so, then flash recovery_ramdisk A9
Download here

I've tried both, they give me the same error.
After I flash the recovery I can't really reboot straight into recovery because of the issue with the battery... somehow I gotta hold the Volume UP key, while catching exact moment when I can unplug USB after the low battery status page passes, and before Huawei logo appears...
After unlocking the phone I flashed TWRP over either recovery or erecovery (idk anymore)... then I probably installed Pixel Experience 13 ROM (https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases)
And after that... I tried too many things I can't even remember anymore.
