[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Of course my thoughts about this ****ty phone were all right.

I received the ota update for version b365, downloaded and OF COURSE STUCK at boot logo after automatic restart...

I will never be able to install anything else because the recovery is corrupted.

I am condemned to stay with b360 until this cursed phone will die for natural causes...

:rolleyes:

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
But recovery can be changed mate. Try twrp with new thread in my signature and follow steps, it won't be a trouble. Try once in free time as i know you already are frustrated with trying all ways.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
The TWRP on official TWRP site sadly won't work for our berlin devices, i neither know why it is still there sincerely. Personally i can't recommend the usage of TWRP official app for our phone as it downloads a wrong version... you have to get the OpenKirin edition from here https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413 and flash that via adb fastboot. Be sure to have "USB debug" on by developer options menu, and to have installed HiSuite (just to have all the functional drivers)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
I thank you all for your patience and replies.

But as Shashank said, I'm really frustrated because I tried everything in the past.

Now I'm rooted (luckily) but with FRP locked. It seems the reason why I cannot flash nothing.

In any case I will try again the suggestion of redskull. The last hope!

Thanks.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
And nothing happens. As usual. My problem lies not in TWRP but in some corrupted file inside the phone.

How is it possible that FRP is now locked? Is this the reason why I cannot flash?

How can I solve without brick the phone?

I cannot flash the stock recovery. I cannot flash a ROM. I cannot use EMUI Recovery....****ty phone and ****ty manufacturer.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
this is the same image I have on my phone stuck at fastboot (taken from internet, I cannot make a screenshot of course. Doesn't matter it is Huawey, it's the same ****...) :(

As you can see, phone is unlocked but FRP not. So basically I am stuck in this twilight zone. Nothing can be add, nothing can be flashed...

That means I am not alone....
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
on internet I noticed there are some softwares to unlock FRP, but they are not free of course, and I am not sure about the outcome: are they safe? Are they doing something different that XDA community is not able to do?

1) dc-unlocker.com

2) chimera tool

Even if I am not gonna pay again for a phone...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
This will impact you to unable to flash any rom or factory reset because of Google account on phone. This should not prevent you from flashing the twrp though..:(

How about just booting into twrp without flashing?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
I managed to take a bad photo with my fake Gopro :).

At least you cans ee what happens when I try to reboot in recovery TWRP....

It remains like this forever. Unless i reboot in ERecovery from where I can press "reboot". If I simply press the power button, it comes back to this screen.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Erecovery is not helping to restore anything?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
No. It starts then it stops saying "update failed" or something similar. I don't remember, now I'm out to work.

And when I try to create dload folder, using some of the ways to flash a file, it stops again to the same boot you can see in the image above...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
I tried everything I can know...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Even we are getting out of ideas now. Not sure what else to recommend mate. Hope someone can help.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Just to give another piece of info, I tried a normal hard reset, first with secret code through dialer (not working as it says I have a Google account), then through advanced settings.

With the latter, I click the proper options and phone restarts. Then again it remains stuck at boot image I posted in a previous post.

I need to enter Emui recovery and use the reboot option to start normally the phone.

Of course nothing has been deleted.

I ask to some Dev (if anyone reads this post) if in his opinion I have a soft brick of recovery partition.

That means I can use normally the phone but I cannot do deeper operations anymore, flashing recovery included.

The latest b365 OTA version is recognized, downloaded but cannot be installed.

:crying:
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
[MENTION=8242346]RedSkull23[/MENTION] any idea mate?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
None at the moment man, he tried various options now :rolleyes:
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Sorry mate [MENTION=2206677]Diamantes[/MENTION] we are out of ideas now
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Seems problem ongoing since a month now and he is frustrated but we can only help and try :(
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
First of all, thanks to everyone.

Well Rommco05, frankly I didn't dare trying. If I lock bootloader and it ****s everything? :mad:

I still need the phone to call and emails...:p
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Got an idea, i ensure nothing; I'll test this Linux Distro on weekend, it's called FWUL, available here from developer's thread https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755 it's a flashable OS that contains all the correct drivers and softwares to communicate with an Android device, whatever brand, ADB included obviously. After enabling OEM unlock, try to flash the recovery from here! It could resolve driver problems often encountered on Windows PCs, good luck!
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] PaulR11:
Maybe you just try to send it in under warranty? I have heard of some guys that got their phone fixed for free by huawei although their phone was rooted and unlocked.

Hope the best for you:good:
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Mmmhhhhh.... Dunno... :rolleyes:
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD.... VOILA'!

Now i am officially F.ucked up.

I relock bootloader from fastboot.

Now I just can enter huawey recovery. It ask for the download through wifi...always fails, it says it cannot be recognized by server.

So what? Of course trying to unlock again bootloader from fastboot.

Impossible.

Phone stuck. NEVER EVER AGAIN THIS FUC..KING HUAWEY BRAND.

AND NOW I AM EVEN DELETING HONOR 6X FROM MY SIGNATURE
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Tried dload mate? Or do one thing, try to unlock your bootloader and it will automatically boot to recovery. Do factory reset there and done. I know you have tried everything but still few more to revive the phone
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Mate, maybe you did not understand...

I can't do nothing. I can't boot the phone. The phone is stuck at erecovery.

There are 2 options there: reboot or go on with download.

Download does not work (after 5 minutes a big red exclamation point comes up).

If I reboot I get stuck at the same situation. PHONE HAS GONE!

And If I enter fastboot (clicking vol down and inserting USB cable), NO COMMANDS ARE ALLOWED. No way to do anything via ADB. NO POSSIBILITY TO UNLOCK.

I will go tomorrow at a tech service point. If they say it is definitely dead, shame on me that i bought this crap.

Hail Samsung, one+, HTC (till lasts) for flashing. Full stop.

My best.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:
I think you should try dload method with different files of furmware for your device may be one of them works:)

I have messed up with my phone twice and i have seen many other messing up and what i gave learned that dload method is the ultimate fix on huawei phones.

I fear that try different furmware can mess you phone more but it is already messed up so much.

I don't know about huawei but i managed twice to get repaired Xiaomi phone even though rooted and unlocked.

Once i talked to a customer care representative of huawei on love chahe told me that simply unlocking bootloader will not void warranty but doing anything beyond unlock like twrp or root or custom rom will void warranty (i doubt it was his personal opinion)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
I understand your problem and know that you have tried various options and frustrated. But I would still suggest to use dload with correct firmware and proceed couple of times.

Download the full version package For FF site- http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=&firmware_page=0

Search for your exact model number and you will get the bunch of files listed over there.

Select only FullOTA-MF file if you want to use dloed method.

Download the zip.

Unzip and extract the package. You will get few files including update.app.

Few suggest to use only update.app file but I would advise, based on my personal experience for all dloadd method I tried, use all the files.

Create a folder dload under SD card and copy all the files to this folder.

Power off the phone. Remove USB cable, if connected.

Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button (3 keys together)

Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.

Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.

During restart, phone will verify the system image.

This verification and 1st boot may take upto 2-3 minutes so do not panic.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Thank you for your continuous support. This method did not work and I had a "FAILED" message with a red exclamation mark during Erecovery update.

Ok. I decided to go to a tech repair shop (we do not have a Huawey official one in my country).

They succeeded in restoring firmware b130. GREAT!!!!!!! (I paid of course)

At home, at first boot, phone prompted to install firmware b360. Ok. I did it. The firmware version after the update was a "TEST KEY"... O_H_M_Y_ G_O_D!!!!

Update option was not available anymore...

Ok, I thought: I will stay like this and install SU and TWRP.... In screenshot 1 the powershell.... :(

So I brought it back to tech store: now they flashed directly a Firmware C900B300, which IS NOT MY FIRMWARE, but as far as I can see, it is a Netherland version...ok.

(Bootloader unlocked, FRP unlocked from scratch).

GREAT!!!

Again look at screenshot 1 (the result is the same as before).

F_UCK and SCREWE HUAWEY PRODUCTS...

BOTTOM LINE: it is impossible to write a new recovery and so NO ROOT POSSIBLE. (in my opinion, the recovery partition is locked for unknown reasons and no one is able to unlock it).

Practically 60% of my usual software is unavailable...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Today I'm really tired. This night I went to sleep at 0500.

I spent all the evening and night trying to recover the phone.

I spent hours on internet and many forums.

Other people had my issues but nobody of them seem to have found a solution.

At 03:00, tired and angry, I decided to do a very simple thing: despite the fact on fastboot there was "phone unlocked" and"frp unlocked", I did again the ADB unlock procedure.

I was thinking: if I receive always the "command not allowed" phrase, that means I can't write on recovery position due to unlock issues.

Procedure went good, but the screen of the phone flashed and phone rebooted to make the hard reset. Hard reset was not successful.

Anyway I rebooted manually and Phone was factory reset anyway.

Again fastboot. I flashed TWRP. WORKED, WTF!!!!!

I then flashed SU. Good. Now phone is rooted and with TWRP!!!

The only problem I have seen now is that theme changer is not working.

Even Titanium backup is now working....

This phone is driving me crazy...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Steps forward finally anyway. At least you're able to use your phone again, with root and TWRP on. Check this for themes not working https://xdaforums.com/honor-6x/help/solved-huawei-honor-6x-themes-unlocking-t3663951 don't worry it'll be surely easier than your previous trouble.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Mmmhhhh... Done. No changes. Themes are downloaded but not applied...

Moreover I don't see the themes included in that folder..
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
I tried to flash Rom Version C432b360 downloading it from firmware finder (version with PV). I should have back themes and updater.

I put the zip file in my external SD and tried flashing with twrp.

Not working.

Am I missing something? :confused:
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
I was in same situation and had to restore trwp backup to get everything working.

What i did yesterday was, as dload was failing with main zip file, i flashed the small file via twrp (data zip) and the main zip file via dload and updated to next version with everything working fine. You can try this once
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Yesterday I tried with the PV b360 version. Nothing.

So, I downloaded the eu.zip and the data.zip file from version B365.

Once in TWRP, the eu.zip file (which should contain the core) is not installing and TWRP shows the following:

......

write radio image

check_write_data_to_partition

write data error

E; unknown command (errno)

update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed

updater process ended with ERROR: 7

error installing zip file '/external_sd/update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu_zip'​

Then I tried with data.zip and it worked.

Now I have back RADIO FM, themes (installing them now works), and all the bloatware that I have already uninstalled (bookings. games, news republic, twitter, facebook, Health....)

At least some improvements.

But what I do not understand is why the CORE is not installing via TWRP.

If I get more info on device, I get the following:

device: HWBLN-H

Display: BLN-L21C900B300

Fingerprint: Huawei/generic_a15/generic_a15:7.0/NRD90M/jslave04010520/:user/test keys​

This happened after I brought the device to tech shop.

Practically I cannot update, not even OTA (option missing). I had the version BLN-L21C432B360. They told me to keep the device like this (of course because they have no clue!!!! :eek::eek::eek:).

Is it possible that now these f..ng test keys and this strange build number are preventing this?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
By the way, ... Which file did you put in dload? .app from where?

Downloaded zip file from .ru website, then extracted the .app?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Downloaded from firmware finder site. All are same. Mine was bln-l22.

I can give you links quickly. Gimme model and build number you want.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
No, no, thanks. I'm used to.

The problem is that I tried right now and the process doesn't work with dload.

" update failed"...as usual

The core is not installing via twrp, data yes...boh

Dlo
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Shashank, could you tell me the method to get rid of "test keys" Rom?

Changing build prop?

Attaching mine here below.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Sure let me go through the entire thread to get your build number and then check if there is oeminfo file available for this model and then guide you accordingly mate.

Changing the build.prop will just change the name of twrp while taken but not im about phone section
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Sorry mate, any news? I don't want to push but... Ya know... ??
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
I remember it..had in mind.so in my signature you sill find repository thread link for 6X. On first post there, i think, i have added the orminfo file for BLN-L21C432 model which is yours. Or here is the direct link.

https://mega.nz/#!uYUwSSQJ!T8tCjSpVgWNpThUIqU5R5mI09W7kWZkd01hltk1kaRc

There is one more link under signature as debranding. You need flash the oeminfo via multi tool and then same firmware file for your current version via dload. It should be fixed. Good luck mate. Let me know if anything is not clear will help
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
ehm...multitool?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Link is given in debranding guide. dont worry that is simple tool and guide is ultra user friendly with all the steps. trust me you wont or should not face any issue following that,
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Ok, thanks. But the firmware must be a MF-PV? Or can I flash the latest Full-OTA available?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
well, in the meantime I was trying to backup oem.

Following the guide, I reach the point where multitool asks me the phone version.

I put 6x and the screenshot attached appears...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Thats weierd. I never downloaded any file. But i think you need to be connected with internet as initially it will check and connect to server. Injust followed the same what i have mentioned in the guide mate

---------- Post added at 05:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

It can be Fullota-Mf file. Can be flashed directly via dload no need to change the recovery
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
I was connected to internet...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
it seems there was a faulty connection to server. Now it works.

I did what you said. backed up old oem info and installed the C432.

Process went good. Then I tried to dload.

NOW I WANT TO THROW AWAY THE PHONE.

Dload does not work. Process failed. Of course phone now is not booting.

I am trying to restore old oeminfo, but i can't figure out how.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
It starts in erecovery and asks for wifi. When getting package info, it stops. "getting package info failed".

I should remain with the nougat 7 and that's all.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Boot to recovery, clear data amd boot. It will work for sure. I was in same situation brother. I don't know whats wrong happening and how to advise to solve. I had faced the same situation and i overcame it
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
I managed bro.

I repeated the unlocking bootloader procedure. Do not ask me why this is the only way to get a hard reset on my phone and so solve the situation.

Now I have the f..ing C900B300 signature again but at least nougat working. Now phone is empty so I have to restore everything. Unfortunately it seems that nothing can flash or overcome this ROM. It seems that somewhere there is something blocking every movew we make in some hidden partition.

Maybe Multitool can help, but I tried now and it asks me for CUSTOM.img and I am not able to find it in update.app. Just found boot, system, recovery.

But at this point I cannot spend again hours for nothing...I need to work too... Maybe next week and maybe if we find out an alternative method...

Boh...

Never again huawei. My next phone will be again a samsung or one+.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Or may be let Oreo come. Let it work the way it is as of now rather messing and then spending sleepless night n countless hours. Have faced all these issues so i know how frustrating it is sometimes
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Thanks mate
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE ME.

Due to the lack of some systems apps and files (themes, ringtones...) I flashed through TWRP the data.zip or build C432B360 which contains almost everything. More recent updates are smaller as have less apps.

Ok, flashed, everything's good, all apps back (even bloatware) and, surprisingly, A REQUEST TO UPDATE SYSTEM!

Yes, the data.zip contained even SYSTEM update app as my build version is back to C432B360.

BUT, of course, this is Huawei crap. After downloading the package (full, 2.4 GB), phone restarted but instead of updating went directly to TWRP....So no update.

Do you know where this update has been downloaded? I can't find it.

Moreover, each time I boot up the phone, it asks me to download the update again from the beginning, as if it was never saved anywhere...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
The update fails because to do an OTA on Huawei you have to reflash your stock boot and recovery . img files from your actual build. On TWRP, you'll never be able to update OTA successfully. The updates usually are stored in internal storage -> HwOUC folder, but if it fails during the update process, files are automatically erased by system (maybe because recognized as a "corrupt" package). If you manage to reflash stock boot and recovery img files, and remove root (if you're rooted) you'll be able to update correctly. (Yes, Huawei sucks on these things...)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
I see.

So to maintain TWRP and flash an update, the only way is to create dload folder on SD card? I have never understood which file must be downloaded from firmware finder to be unzipped and put there.

There are always 3 files in full-ota from firmware finder: .zip, full-hw-eu.zip, data.zip.

In theory I should be able to flash with TWRP the .zip, right? Or only MT-PV files?

I would like to update without messing up again with unrooting and flashing recovery...

Thanks for helping
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
I thought the same, and trying to prevent overall the flash of stock images (because root is really extremely easy, thanks to Magisk) i gave a try to dload method; it didn't worked for me and i never understood why. I tried all the possible combinations; first placing in the folder only the UPDATE.APP from the biggest zip file (1,6GB approx.), update fails at 5% while verifying the package. Then i tried to extract all from the biggest zip and put it in dload and neither that worked. Next, i tried to extract all from all the zip files, obviously failing. Last, i tried to recreate a folder path like i saw in an official Huawei document guide, about how to correctly execute a dload upgrade... Another failure. I've tried these methods both from starting update from ProjectMenu and via 3 buttons combination while phone isn't on, all of this with stock recovery for being extra sure that things could proceed well, and the result that i got was always, always the same damned error at 5%

Finally, i went for the unrooting/update OTA with stock boot and recovery images/reflash TWRP and re-root again method, suggested by an user that made even a guide on how to do this, and i definitely found this ways, ways easier than literally keep on banging my head against the wall while trying to figure out a way to make that **** dload method working on system updates. The easiest way for update Huawei phones? Surely not dload method. I give this to you as a suggestion, trust me it's faster than how it seems and 100% working.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Dazed No More:
As I said in the other post flash stock recovery and it should work. You can be stubborn and spend days wondering why you can't update with twrp or you can update it with stock recovery and spend 10 minutes unlocking and rerooting
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
ok,ok...unrooted, flashed stock recovery and boot... again lost all data...3rd time this week. I hope it is the last one... :silly::silly::silly::silly:

Now downloading update...fingers crossed... :p:p:p
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Diamantes:
Eureka.

I am opening a bottle of wine WTF!!!

Now I have version C432B365 with August patches... Unfortunately Blueborne has been patched with B367 but seems I cannot get it yet...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Dazed No More:
Consider yourself lucky for having an August patch, the L24 has a March patch. Although I must admit I don't pay much attention to it anyways. If my phone works as intended I'm good.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Hope the wine was red so :D anyway, I'm on the same build and B367 for BLN-L21C432 already came out. Have you tried by going on system update and forcing the update by clicking on the 3 dots in the upper right corner and then click on "dowbl latest update"? (Full version again, if the snaller 157MB package shouldn't work)
