RNE-L21 - Dead after trying to change the ROM - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hello.
I have the Huawei Mate 10 Lite phone in my hands. I wanted to change the system to some custom OS and something went wrong.
I unlocked the bootloader, uploaded TWRP and everything was OK. Problems started during Lineage install (the same with AICP). The system did not boot after installing.
At the moment only eRcovery is running but also can't install anything. I suspect this is due to the lack of original recovery. I extracted the RECOVERY.IMG and RECOVERY2.IMG files from the UPDATE.APP file.
However, I can't install them because I get this error:
-=edit=-
After many attempts to repair using information from the internet, I was able to repair the phone with this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76640204&postcount=79
Many thanks to @Chisetdel31260 for his great work and this post

Honor 9 no OS installed, TWRP and fastboot with unlock still working

Hi guys, i got my H9 yesterday and because i thought i read enough on this forums i wanted to unlock it then install TWRP and install superSU to gain root access and stick with the stock firmware.
Unlocking went perfectly fine,phone booted to OS, than i flashed twrp 3.1.1-1 as advertised here and made a factory reset. Phone was stuck in bootloop for unknown reason.
I made several wipes and somehow managed to check all boxes in the wipe menu which erased the whole OS.
Now i read here that others have the "no OS" problem too but because i still have all unlocked fastboot and twrp i wanted to ask which method is best to flash back the original FW.
Which stock ROM is safe to install? i have european H9 is STF-L09C432B170 the right one for me?
Which method is the best to install it? Copy the 3 zips to internal stoagre via OTG device and install it out of twrp? I read that there is also a force method where users can push vol up, vol down and power simultaneously and enter the huawei install force mode.
I am quite sad that the phone was stuck in bootloop after twrp install and still dont know what caused it. When i install it from twrp there are 3 zips: update, data full public , hw eu. In which order do they have to e installed and is one of them overwriting the TWRP recovery?
Please give me a short hint/procedure, im quite afraid that i cant get my phone back to work and it is brand new. I dont know what caused the unsolvable bootloop.
Best regards and many thanks
Hi.
Check this:

This help you.
Regards
thanks for the hint but i cant find a solution for me there.
ut this
i copied the 3 .zip files to internal today but TWRP doenst allow me to write them it fails with "write err errno 9"
then i tried to copy the update.pp in DLOAD folder on micro sd but this is not possible because filesize is over 2gb. i tried to format micro sd with twrp to exfat but it till doesnt work. please give me a little hint what to do im completely desperate about the situation.
Today i installed Huawei Multitool and extracted the .img file out of the update.app files, i was able to flash all 4, system, boot, recovery and cust.
Now the rec. menu is back to stock and everything got installed but the phone still isnt booting. i think it is because i missed the userdata.img which i cant find anywhere.
Other users here have the same problem. Is there a firmware package which includes all 5 .img data?
Best regards
i found the official huawei service full repair firmware with all necessary files for unbrick (system, cust, recovery, userdata, boot) flashed them via fastboot but stil device is "hanging" after the warning message that its unlocked. i think it is because i wiped vendor data in twrp but i cant flash vendor.img in fastboot. it is included in the fw package but cant be transfered to phone via fastboot. it stops at part 1/2 because the filesize allowd is around 470mb max but the extracted file has a size of 670. anyone know what to do?
Best regards
You need to go via the Rebrand way with no rebrand. I had the same problem and was trying to use the multitool without success. The oeminfo can be flashed alternatively if it fails during the HWOTA process.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/help/how-flash-oeminfo-t3657499
ok i download all the folders with the .bat file. Then i download C432B150 from the czech site and add it to the update folder. Than i rename the 3 files accoding to the manual and run the .bat file but without rebranding right?
Des this tool any different than the HuaweiMultiTool or fastboot with flash command?
Best regards
I treid out HWOTA, the first step installing twrp is successful than i disattach usb cable as described and enter twrp. Then it says in twrp i have to connect again and press enter but then the bat file stops and doenst go on. i dont come to the point where i can choose rebrand or flash firmware.
Whats wrong here?
edit: i saw in the .sh file that the script executes wait_adb but my phone is not entering adb mode as it seems when in main screen of twrp. is this normal or do i have to set it manually in twrp
best regards
I was able to install the B130 now via 3 button recovery. Now im on B130 but cant update elsewhere. Also the 2 capacitive buttons are not working. Bootloader is locked again. Everything is stock and the phone runs great. When i update with the 3 buton method from external sd, which firmware should i use? i tried B150 full OTA but it aborts after 5% with an error. Do i only need to get a small OTA package now?
How can i put my cap. buttons back to work? Too bad only the 3 button method worked to recover the phone.
Best regards and many thanks.
I did the HWOTA with b120 firmware and then used firmware finder to update to b150.
The bug with capacitive buttons is present till Oreo. I use the home button gestures anyways.
Hope it helps.
ok, thats bad but they worked with the initial revision of b130 and b150 when i downloaded it OTA. Is this something like a fuse like.knox at samsung which happens at custom flashing?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
the HWOTA method doesnt work, the batch file gets stuck after connecting the phone in twrp back to computer. in script it says wait_adb but it is not recognized somehow.
do u know a solution? anotherone here got that problem too.
im very afraid of that, i read here that everything related to twrp 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1 is problematic a lot of people cant boot after installing twrp and can wipe whtever they want the phone never boots fully
whats the difference in the B130/B120 the phone came from huawei and the version flashed via tools? when i got it everything worked
i have this version.
ok so install twrp have frq and bootloader unlocked and then do backup out of recovery? with your file? can you provide download link? is this then a zip file?
I want to solve the thread and how i solved problem.
The B130 service firmware by huawei could be installed via 3 button method, than i was able to go up to the newest B180 via firmwarefinder and DNS method but with not working cap. buttons and flash etc.
Yesterday i installed TWRP 3.1.1-1(temporary) via HWOTA.zip method (ireplaced the older twrp in recovery folder) and successfully installed B120 and got the buttons etc working again. Then installed root and now system works fine and is rooted. My mistake was to install twrp over B130 or B150 which i downloaded OTA at the first day i got the phone. I tested this yesterday to install TWRP along with B150 and unlocked bootloader, infinite bootloop again. With B120 the TWRP 3.1.1-1 works out of the box without any loops.
The 2 trouble solvers where B130 service firmware and HWOTA with B120.
The external SD had to be inserted in card reader on PC because of the large filesize of the B130.
I would recommend to everyone before starting to play with the H9 to move the B130 folders to phone while it is still accessible. When everything bricks like in my case and u still have twrp than you can go to twrp main screen and connect phone to computer to rename the folder with B130 to "dload" and arrange update.app accordingly on PC or in TWRP file manager.
Can i set this topic to [SOLVED] myself?

this works flawlessly with 3 button method

My Huawei Mate SE is bricked after installing zip in TWRP

I just bought a Huawei Mate SE which is a newer phone that looks like the Honor 7x. I've noticed whenever I search for Huawei Mate Se custom roms, recoveries, and even stock roms I only find Mate 9 stuff and find my self desperate with no support of root, and anything else. I found an article called "How to : Huawei Mate SE Root & TWRP Recovery" , and I successfully unlocked the bootloader, and I successfully installed twrp. The text on the bottom I didn't see which said to install the dm-verity thing. I ran into the problem where there were all these folders were displaying weird text in the main partitions, so instead of installing the version they told me, which was the no-verity-opt-encrypt-4.1.zip, I installed the latest which was the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip version, which soft bricked. So I thought I could fix this by installing a custom ROM. But there were none, so I tried to install cm13 honor 7x rom and It didn't work. I tried installing the correct version after the rom. So even now if I tried to revert the old boot img it still wouldn't work because of the rom. However, since my bootloader is unlocked there is definitely a way I can fix all this. But the problem is their is not any Huawei Mate SE roms anywhere. I need a stock rom for my phone (possisbly a custom rom), or some fix. I can access my recovery, and the bootloader, but not anything else. My model is the BND-L34, pls help.
I did the same thing. Got it working
Put this in twrp back up folder on external SD card. Restored both files then factory reset in twrp. It worked for me every thing works. unzipped with Windows pc
Can't post links. Post [EMUI 5.1] OTA Firmwares and Unbrick Phone method. In Huawei 7x thread post#139 by AlexxC might be easter to search his posts. I have mate se in us on tmo/MetroPCS I flashed the correct 4.1 and still got soft brick. That article cost me couple hours. rooted with honor 7x method. Guess it really is the same phone with extra gig of ram. To AlexxC thanks, you the man

I tried the manual method of unbricking with multi touch and the phone booted, but it is a black screen, and I only see the home, back and tabs buttons. So after i figured out to use the backup that you sent me and it still wouldn't boot.
Are you getting errors in twrp restore you have to mount the partitions that your restoring boot system data etc

Why dont you boot into huawei eRecovery? It downloads the firmware and recovery and recovers your phone.

Bricked Mate 10 Pro - Help!

This afternoon I installed LineageOS and all was well with the world. I then installed TWRP as I wanted to install Magisk and the EMUI camera. However, it then started bootlooping and nothing I've tried seems to be working.
I can get into Fastboot and it lets me flash stuff, but nothing boots. I tried the unbricking guide as well, but none of the three files work - I get a "No space left on device" error for each of the files.
If anyone can provide me with an idiot's guide to sorting this I'll be massively grateful.

Hi, look at this perhaps it can help you
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...e-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814/page3
I had used that guide, was following that when I was getting the out of space errors.
However, I got it all sorted in the end - I just downloaded a different (older) version of the firmware and that worked.
Help for you

Hi good day.
I have been following your work from another page, and now in XDA.
I had not read your message, and, I changed the recovery for the stock, and, I was an idiot to close the bootloader.
What happened? Brick simple on my cell phone, did not come out (because I fixed it) of the image of erecovery (EMUI) without tabs or options, a rather rare image.
How do I solve it:
1. I did not enter fastboot, I did not correctly enter the stock recovery (I had deleted the twrp), I had closed the bootloader (my stupidity)
2. Be patient and wait for the battery to run out (wait a day for it).
3. Open cmd and place the command to open the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and execute.
4. Put the device in fastboot mode when connecting to the laptop (I did not work several times, the fastboot came out with error FUNC No 10 and NO 2), after numerous attempts and not to let it charge the battery too much (because it was restarted and towards brick in the EMUI logo), correctly enter the fastboot and unlock, when you enter step 3 automatically, it will be executed. I had an advance in removing the cell phone from the brick.
5. It reboots and wonderfully happened to the Rom (that had previously installed), that is to say, the erase was not executed when the bootloader had previously closed.
6. As I had little energy, it was turned off, but I connected it and entered charging mode without restarting (before I did it).
7. Wait for a load of at least 5%, and install the Catuva21 TWRP from the tutorial.
8. I put it by command to restart in fastboot, but I generate error (Error Func No 10 and No 2).
9. I turn off the cell phone and with volume up and power key
10. Enter the TWRP correctly, verify that it is installed.
11. Restart system and log in to the system. I had not deleted anything, but to avoid problems, I hope to load 55% and execute the steps to install the rom.
12. Enjoy and dry spilled tears.
Experience lived and I hope you do not do something that developers do not advise.
Grcias and happy day.
Hi all,
Although my device isn't Mate 9 (mine is Nova 2s a.k.a HWI-AL00), but i'll share my experiece here.
Since EMUI8.0 Oreo, it's becoming more and more tough to get back to oreo stock after you mess/brick your device, maybe that's why HW plan to shutdown their bootloader unlock page.
Couple days ago, i got bored with my Nova 2s stock, and try to mess around to get root.
After flashing twrp (of course my bootloader is unlocked) and using modded rom which already contains magisk, i decided i want to go back to stock again, since the modded rom is not good to use.
This is where all the hassle began...
Maybe my most stupid move was, i formatted all partitions listed in twrp (so many partitions i can't remember).
After few days crying and try to find solutions, today i get to the point where it can download the rom package from HW ERecovery interface.
What i'm doing :
- download full package rom, extract the zip, and extract the *.app file using HuaweiUpdateExtractor, now you can see many *.img's there
- enter fastboot and flash twrp and boot into twrp
- flash these images : system.img into system partition, vendor.img into vendor partition
- exit twrp and get into fastboot again
- fastboot flash these images : kernel.img into kernel partition, ramdisk.img into ramdisk partition, recovery_ramdis.img into recovery_ramdisk partition
- shutdown device and let it boot normally
- it boot into HW eRecovery, and there's a menu to download rom full update package from server, i choose those menu (to download it, you must connect the device to wifi connection)
now i'm still waiting for the result, hopefully when the download finished, it can flash those packages nicely, i'll update the information to you guys later.

Bootloop after updating from B368 to B385

Hi everyone,
I ran out of ideas with my problem, and could really use some help / advice with this.
Trying to updgrade my STF-L09C432 from B368 to B385 using HuRu updater, something went wrong and now it bootloops after the blue Honor logo.
Fastboot, Huawei eRecovery and TWRP are still working and accessible, my device is bootloader unlocked and says FPR unlock in fastboot mode.
So here's the detailed steps and procedure which I followed:
0) TWRP Backup of System + Data
1) Load three update files (FullOTA) via FF: update.zip (update.zip), update_data_full_public.zip (update_data_full_public.zip), update_full_STF-L09_hw_eu.zip (STF-L09_hw_eu/update_full_STF-L09_hw_eu.zip)
2) Create folder on SD-card with above files and TWRP v0.3 as recovery.img and the HuRu 0.4 zip file. Additionally I've left the HuRu 0.3 in the same folder renamed as HuRUpdater_0.3_old.zip
3) Installed the HuRu 0.4 from TWRP with zip verification disabled (tried before with enabled, but it failed -> call me stupid but I've double checked the checksum with a new download, so I took the risk).
4) the installation log showed warnings about some missing .zip files, but I ignored those as well, as I've never heard of them and didn't have them from FF.
5) rebooted the system and caught the first bootloop
Now I tried myself to fix it the following way, but unsuccessful until now:
1) Flashed TWRP into recovery_ramdisk because I didn't know the right procedure to boot into it
2) Flashed the new B385 versions of KERNEL.img, RAMDISK.img and RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img which I extracted from the UPDATE.APP -> still bootloop
3) Flashed TWRP into recovery_ramdisk again because I still didn't know the right procedure to boot into it
4) Flashed the old B368 versions of KERNEL.img, RAMDISK.img which I extracted from the UPDATE.APP, but not the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img this time -> still bootloop
5) Then I've managed to boot into TWRP finally, and tried to restore my previous backup as a last resort, but that still didn't resolve my bootloop
Anybody has any idea what I could still try? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, or I'm still to new to this to see what is wrong.
If possible I'd like to keep my data intact, but I could probably extract most of it out of the backup, if nothing else helps.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Chris
Nobody has an idea?
Maybe the Seniors on the Honor9, @OldDroid or @zxz0O0?
After I've tried to restore the previous TWRP backup, now also TWRP won't boot anymore, therefore I'm stuck with fastboot or the Huawei stock recoveries...

well, aslong as its still unlocked (frp & bl) i'm able to help.
Do you have telegram? if so, send me your username through pm.

I managed to get into TWRP again when I've installed the latest kernel and recovery images. After that I've realized that I still had Magisk installed and Active.
Uninstalling that solved my bootloop for now.
Unfortunately my backup restore just returned me to the previous version B368 which I already had installed... so lets see what happens if I apply the update again
---------------------
Edit:
Update applied, without magisk installed, still bootloop... At least the way back was quicker this time
Any hints what's going wrong are appreciated!

moto e XT1524 to LineageOS 17.1

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place but I could not find anywhere to post it by following Help threads I just went round and round in circles. Hi I am fairly new to phone modding. I updated my moto e XT1524 to LineageOS 16.1 some months ago. Yesterday I decided to update to 17.1. I followed the instruction to install. I have wiped phone and ran fastboot adb as instructed. I keep gettting -This packeage is for XT1514,XT1524,XT1526......... ect and error7. I have ammended the updater-script as detailed in the "How to fix error 7 " document but the rom will still not load. same error message. I have now noticed that * Required * firmware version must be based on Marshmallow on the Installation section on the main forum page. Can someone help me get the phone back to stock rom or any other rom for that matter. I can get the phone into recovery mode and I have TWRP installed i aslo have SDK tools installed on PC.

TWRP can't be used to flash Stock ROMs. In your case you need QFIL ( read: Qualcomm Flash Image Loader ) to flash a Stock ROM, and also the Motorola USB driver installed on PC.

Thanks for your help, could you please help a little further as I cannot find a stock rom. I have been on the motorola site and followed a few links on the internet but only to find the file is no longer available. Any idea where I can get a stock rom from or can I use QFIL to load a non stock rom?
I have found a stock rom XT1524_SURNIA_RETEUALL_5.0.2_LXI22.50-13_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip this is not an mbn file, however if I open the zip folder there is a fsg.mbn file in there along with boot, bootloader gpt.bin etc. Is this the file to use with QFIL. Sorry to be a pain but I don't want to make the situation worse.
Also can you tell me if restoring to stock rom will this re-lock the bootloader?
UPDATE: First of all thank-you for all your help - I have learned a lot over the past 6 days (that's how long I have been trying to fix it). I flashed lineage-17.1-20200814-recovery-surnia and then sideloaded adb sideload lineage-17.1surnia.zip. Phone now rebooted in normal mode and showing on PC now OK. So old Moto E XT1524 on Lineage OS 17.1.
