Damit.. I'm screwed now my twrp backups of my stock 703l b029 were somehow erased and I cant restore back to stock. Do i need to get a complete 703l rom or can I force flash with the update.app.

I believe you can grab a stock 703L rom here. I can't say it works for certain because I haven't converted to 703L yet, sorry.

[Huawei P8max] greddy:
try this: connect P8 to the pc with usb cable, press power and volume + button for 10 seconds, then the huawei eRecovery will

load the right image. (or maybe all 3 buttons, power and power + and power -, i not remember (old man :)))

Do you recall how you ended up getting it to boot? Did you fastboot twrp and do a wipe maybe? I'm stuck on the Huawei logo with the shining wings (just like the other two guys), but it flashed the B209 update successfully so I know it's probably just something small...

I already did a factory reset from stock recovery.

Any ideas?
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
First your have to install B209

Then you can flash the KangVIP ROM via TWRP

Wipe Chache, Dalvik and if want to setup a fresh system Data

Then you have to boot into Bootloader & Rescue Mode via Power and Vol - (USB Cable Connected to PC)

Flash Stock Recovery

Reboot

Your Phone will boot now into Huawei Recovery

Touch the first Line of the 3 Chinese Symbol Lines

Wait till your phone reboots will take some time

If u wanna get Xposed to Work its the Same with all of the steps here
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Great instructions. Did you ever get the stock B209 rom to actually boot before you flashed KangVIP?
[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
Ok in your steps above did you install the b209 update that we put in the DLoad folder? I feel I am following these steps too but getting stuck at the huawei glowing sign.
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
Yes I used B209 a few hours to test Android 6.

Yes I installed B209 via Huawei Update.
[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
Im looking for a link to the b209 rom do you know where to download?
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Hey so I figured out why i was getting hung on the huawei logo. I was only putting the update.app into the dload folder (88MB) instead of the entire update.zip into the dload folder. Once I did that, I upgraded from B029 to B209 with no problems and it booted right up and started optimizing my system. Just fyi to those having problems, I hope ya'll weren't making the same mistake I was. Thanks to the group!!
[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
hmm I have had all the files in the dload folder but its just hanging when i do everything..

I am currently on B029 and flashed this B209 update. I am stuck at 90%, is anyone else getting this? I have been following this thread for a while.

Thanks in advance
[Huawei P8max] Hirs_E_Fruit:
I think I had the same problem, force updated again after i shut down the smartphone again.
[Huawei P8max] FusionSlashe:
So by force update you mean:

*fastboot flash recovery recovery.img* stock recovery.

Have B209 update as dload in my SD card

(keep usb plugged in)

hold vol + & - to "force" update? as the screen will blank out for a few seconds, it shows a usb icon and slowly counts 1% to 100%? (I always freeze at 90%)

Also I have my bootloader unlocked.

I also somehow messed up my IMEI ... if anyone knows how to fix that too. It will be greatly appreciated and would love to treat them beer/coffee :D

Thanks for the reply!

EDIT **

OH man.. I realized flashing with USB and without USB are two separate things...

Good call out.. for some reason a lot of people are getting different results from upgrading to b209. Even after I corrected all my errors got the phone back on b029 then tried the update I still got stuck at the flashing huawei sign?? another friend of mine followed the exact same steps and his worked first try lol.
[Huawei P8max] Ideas4ya:
Hey this happened to me too at one point. I decided to go back to B023 by fastbooting the 4 IMG files of the B023. Then I updated to B029 from the Huawei update app, not the local update. The only local update I did was to B209. Hope this helps.
[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
Well it's been a interesting 3 days trying to get this b209 flashed but to no avail :(

I have tried flashing it via huawei updater and the reboot power btn + volume force update and it just gets stuck on flashing logo after booting. All the update files were placed in the Dload folder in root directory still no go.. its like its just not installing properly. One good thing out of all this is I learned how to fastboot to restore and update back to any rom and it works every time so just have to wait on the emui 4.0 update :( Thanks for all the help here on the forum guys!!!!
[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
Flash the Universal Cust mod from here and see if that fixes your issue. The cust folder controls a lot of things in your device.

Can you zip up your stock cust folder in /cust and send it to me? You also have to have already updated to stock B209 before flashing any Marshmallow roms.

i think this is the problem, i never found a stock 209 as twrp backup. I can not make b029 and b209 with huawei recovery coz i have

an 701L and always huawei says its not compatibel.

Have you an stock 209 as twrp ? maybe this will solve all problems.

So you want to go back to b029? or did you lost you IMEI?

I spent some time and finally got my phone working. So I can help you out, I just need to know what you want to do. Is your Bootloader unlocked?
[Huawei P8max] siddartha:
yes my bootlocker is unlocked.

i like to go back to b029.

i wipe all data, restore a nandroid backup of my b029 and i become a bootloop. :(

i am going crazy...
[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
siddartha... Here is what you have to do to go back to b029 rom.

You have to get the huawei updater extract tool then download the stock B029 rom. Use the extractor tool to extract the cust.img , boot.img, system.img, recovery.img. Extract those files to a folder where you have the "Latest" Adb files and fastboot flash each 4 of those files to your phone while in bootloader mode then reboot your phone and you should be back to stock b029.
[Huawei P8max] siddartha:
first thx, for help! :)

where can i download the the stock rom? have you a link for me?

i an not understand, where ist the adb folder, what you mean?

edit: ah ok, i understand with the adb files, sorry ;)
[Huawei P8max] FusionSlashe:
Please make sure you read everything before you do this, I hold no responsibility if this breaks your phone. If you have any question or if I was unclear on any of the steps, let me know. Ill try my best to expand on it.

GOOD LUCK! I hope you get it fixed.

OK... So first you need the following.

1. Clean B029 firmware.

2. Huawei Firwmare Extractor

3. ADB and fastboot

4. P8max TWRP

After you have all those.

1. Locate your Update.app from your B029 Firmware.

2. Use Huawei Firmware Extractor and extract the follow from your Update.App

boot.img , recovery.img, cust.img , system.img , cache.img , userdata.img

3. after rename all the files you have extracted from Huawei Firmware Extractor ( they should be called. "10.boot.img , 11.recovery.img .... etc") to the following:

"boot.img, reocvery.img , cust.img, system.img, cache.img, userdata.img"

4. So now you need to put those files in the exact place as your ADB and fastboot. So your FOLDER should look like the following:

ADB.exe

Fastboot.exe

"some ADB & FASTBOOT files"

boot.img

recovery.img

cust.img

system.img

cache.img

userdata.img

Also, put the updates.app file into your SD card under the folder "dload". So it should look like "X:\dload\updates.app"

After you have the following setup, do the following on your phone.

Make sure your phone is shutdown.

1a. plug in USB then (vol down + power) to boot into bootloader

** If your phone can not shutdown because you are in a bootloop**

1b. Make sure you have (hiSuite) installed, plug in your USB to your computer. Hold all bottoms till the phone turns off a vibrate. Then hold (vol down + Power) to get into bootloader

2. Use command prompt to go into your setup you have done at the top with ADB, fastboot and img files.

" cd c:\your\folder\here\p8max " for example

type "fastboot devices"

you should see your devices show up. If it doesn't then you have driver problems you have fix first or you don't have hiSuite installed. (Try re-installing hiSuite)

If you see your device show up, type the following

MAKE SURE EACH "fastboot flash" SAYS OK BEFORE DOING THE NEXT STEP.

type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

type "fastboot flash cust cust.img"

type "fastboot flash system system.img"

type "fastboot flash cache cache.img"

type "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img"

If all are ok, you want to:

type "fastboot reboot"

This should restart your phone. You should be able to boot up your phone. Once you have your phone boot, your not DONE YET!

Turn off your phone, make sure the B029 update is in your SD card. (see example above)

turn back on your phone and hold (vol up + power) with NO USB plugged in. This should force your phone to force update back to B029.

Make sure you get to 100%. NOW YOUR PHONE IS FIXED! - it will reboot, then now you should be in b029

If you get stuck at 90% then you need to clean up your internal storage first. If you do run into that, let me know, ill help you out.

[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
Great detailed info.. that's what makes this forum a gold mine. I see people are still have problems trying to flash the b209 update along with the kangvip rom. I went back to stock b029 also because my phone would not take the b209 update for some reason. After every flash just got the stuck on huawei flashing wings. A friend of got the update to work but he is on a pmax 32gig model and mine is 64gig .. could be nothing but it didn't work for me.
[Huawei P8max] FusionSlashe:

[Huawei P8max] siddartha:

[Huawei P8max] ajsmsg78:
Very nice instructions. That is indeed what needs to be done. On the Mediapad X2, the users who converted their 701L and 702L's to 703L's did the same thing. You may also have to flash the latest stock 703L lollipop version before flashing B209. We had to do it that way with the X2 for non 703L models.
[Huawei P8max] siddartha:
by extract the system.img, the extractor tool freezes any time :(

the other img files working.

any idea?
[Huawei P8max] greddy:
yes, right. But some peopes (also me) can not an 100% recovery coz some other things are not okay. (partition table, Modem partition or other things i can not explain (my english is so funny.))

When i make full huawei recovery (b029) my 701L is starting, the home screen comes and when i try to load any app i hear a short "knack" in the speaker and then the phone reboot.

Then i fastboot all 4 img files (b029), then i make the update files B209, the circle come and go in 15 seconds to 100% and "succesfull" come.

Fine i think, but after 15 minutes animated huawei logo nothing happen :(

Anyone can try to make an FULL TWRP-recovery from real B209 ?

greets, Peter
[Huawei P8max] kyungi1:
Ok.. I had this same problem because your not flashing everything properly.

Make sure you download the latest ADB files... do not use the ones that come with the p8max root tools. The version of ADB you need is ADB-setup-1.4.3.exe you can google to find where to download. Once you get the latest ADB files installed there will be a folder on your C drive named abd. Put all the files you extracted before like the cust.img system.img and the rest in the adb folder then try to flash everything again it should work then.

you mean the 3 files from the kang slim rom or stock b029?

if i flashed all files via fastboot and then will take the stock rom install it goes to 41% and then from this to 85% and then to 100%
