[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
H ow to bring back Huawei Mate 8 to working condition - part2

Hi,

I understand your situation. Don't worry, we can get it back to working condition. It is just a matter of few steps and right set of files. That is all it takes. Your phone met with an accident and it is trying to recover now - bad analogy but what I mean is please be patient & don't give up.

Based on your message.

1) Pls forget about TWRP for now. We are not there yet. We only need stock recovery. So don't do anything related to TWRP

2) There are two types of recoveries.

Stock Recovery

- If you press and hold volume up at the time of boot -----> Stock Recovery

- If you connect the phone to charger or laptop & THEN if you press and hold volume up and power button - ---> ERecovery

Fastboot

- Switch off the phone - > then - > press and hold volume down and then connect to laptop. -- > it will enter fastboot mode or bootloader mode

We need fastboot mode for now.

--------------------------------------------

In my previous message - I gave you 3 options. - > Option 1, Option 2, Option 3.

So which one did you try? There are step 1,2 and 3 in all of the 3 options. So I couldn't understand which option you followed from your message. Its ok don't worry about that now but pls let me know clearly which one you tried in your next message.

I want you to try the Option 3 using adb commands. Even if you did this option, try once more. Please.

Option 3 (Risky method)

In this option we are going to flash 3 files in adb

1) Open Huawei Update extractor

2) Browse and point to update.app of 1st zip file

3) Extract boot.img, recovery. img & system.img

4) Put all the three files in SRK tools folder.

5) Now type the following commands one after the other

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

6) Once you are done with all the commands, unplug your phone and restart.

7) If everything goes well you should be able to go inside your L29C432B560

After you try Option 3. Don't worry if the screen goes blank or Huawei logo.

It means - you have to do factory reset and then it will go into your phone properly.

So once you do the option 3 and finish doing all the commands. Remove all the connections with laptop.

Now switch off the phone.

Press and hold volume up and power button.

(without any connections to laptop, if you still have wire connected to laptop it will go to Erecovery, we don't need that. We need stock recovery)

It will enter the stock recovery -- Why? because you flashed the stock recovery from the B560. So it should work.

Now clear cache partition

THEN ' ---> Do factory reset.

After that wait for few minutes and let it finish the factory reset.

When you get Huawei logo - it will be bright in the background. When that backlight goes off then it will give you the Language settings and ask you to configure the WIFI etc...

Do not try any TWRP for now. Do not worry about unlock or relock. Don't do anything other than the above steps.

Remember we are only concerned with Stock recovery and adb commands.

So please try the above steps and let me know your progress.
