[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Jan.Pul:
It's in the firmware package, (when you extract update.app)

They are called recovery and recovery2.

Then use fastboot to flash them
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sid21:
.

I have no clue what you are doing..

First you rooted a phone knowing the fact you wont get updates and then you want updates so you started again experimenting.

and now you are stuck with this screen?

i have never seen a screen like this and a little more info would be good to go like if you are able to access twrp.

if you are, better go through the procedure from this OP thread and stop experimenting if you dont want to get into trouble.

Hey guys, it sounds too good to be true but I might have found a way to download a full ota for the L21 variant, the only thing I'm missing is a firmware code (like "BND-L21C432B123CUSTC432D001") coming from EMUI 5.0.

I have this device since last Saturday and when I first turned it on I noticed it was on 5.0 but I didn't notice the code and updated it right away.

If someone could help me that would be really appreciated
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ModernWorld:
FullOTA-MF only have a Build number, like "BND-L21C432B123".

See (for the AL10 version): BND-AL10C00B123

To get the current build number on your phone: Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number.

Unbricked but no web view

thank you for the full guide, I successfully unbricked my phone, then flashed gapps but now most of the apps are not working, for example when I open gmail it loads and auto closes . same thing with other apps such as banking apps , games etc. I think it has to do something with android web view. unable to use all important apps
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Arcayne:
I appreciate the OP for his help to unbrick our Honor7x's. With that said, just a quick note to anyone skimming through these threads and are convinced on rooting their devices and updating it with the Chinese version especially with the release of Face Unlock. DON'T. Can't stress that enough. Unless you want to go through a tedious process to get your phone unbriked. I am a mediocre developer, work on my own projects, been working with other phones and like the majority of the devs I'm quite hesitant for my honor 7x. The OTA's are based for the Chinese versions, flashing it to a device not manufactured for Chinese consumers can cause various hardware failures ie. Screen, sound, call. Rooting requires unlocking your bootloader that voids your warranty and erases all your data. And no, you will not be able to get any official updates with TWRP installed. If your still about rooting your device now, one last note. Root your device if you have some experience. If you've been rooting samsung phones, that experience is not going to help lol. This is harder and may brick your device.

Have some patience we should be getting the Face unlock update anytime soon followed by EMUI 8. Or, both in a bundle.

Cant help with the restore part cz there are different partitions..

But this method works well to all the people who tried according to the procedure.. For gapps obviously it doesnt consist of gapps and flashing a simple gapps.zip wont work correctly cz it wont be hard encoded for emui.. Thats a different article altogether for gapps to work properly

Odd build number in system

I did revive my phone using this guide but the build number of the phone comes out to be 'System 5.1.0.98(03ES)'

Can you help me figure out what I did wrong?(I only used two zip files from Yandex disk) I am posting the steps I did to revive the phone

1. downloaded and extracted update.zip, and used the Huawei update extractor to extract the update.zip

2. from the extracted update.zip I copied vendor.img to the sd card and installed it (after installing twrp)

3. extracted the update_full_BND-AL10_all_cn.zip and used huawei extractor on that and saved (CUST.IMG) files to the extracted update.zip

4. then used Multi-tool unbrick section, after a couple of minutes, rebooted it and went to recovery to factory reset(without the factory reset phone boots and shows only navigation keys and nothing else)

A bug also I would like to mention, I cannot change the Mobile Network settings

If you could point out the mistake I made that would be swell or you could just point out to me the 4pda forum of updating/unbrick process ( can't seem to search through the whole Russian forum)

Thanks

Experience installing AOSP ROM and trying to go back to stock

No Audio or Video after doing the following:

a. Flashed TWRP on recovery1 and 2 following the video byTlxxxsracer (after unlocking the bootloader, ofcourse) and formatted to remove encryption etc.

b. Flashed the AOSP 8ROM and rebooted and then flashed gapps and rebooted.

c. Then everything was as described here but no audio.

d. Tried going back to stock using the guide by sid21 but when I tried to flash vendor.img twrp was showing only boot or recovery partition. Then I flashed twrp again and this time rebooted the phone back to twrp recovery and then it was showing correct partitions. Flashed vendor and proceeded with Multitool and unbrick method to flash chinese rom without playstore. Still same issue, no audio or video playback. Now the device was showing as generic a15 instead of the bndal10 model no.

e. Then I saw in this forum, a twrp backup of stock rom by jan_pul and I restored using twrp. Then the phone was back with stock rom and playstore but still no audio.

f. Now again flashed this AOSP rom and is waiting for updates.

Can somebody post a twrp backup of Indian ROM or may be a stock kernel so that I can flash that to get back my audio? my model is BNDA10c675b141. Thanks in advance.

[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ROMystic:
Thanks a ton Jan.pul, could you please tell the variant of 7x you have? Is this for bnd-al10? Because I restored this on my bnd-al10 Indian version but still couldn't get the audio back which I lost ever since I tried Aosp rom. Even the camera and fingerprint stopped working. I am currently writing this from openkirin Aosp rom, which I flashed again and fingerprint works. Would like to go back to stock but no roms available other than your twrp backup.Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Neeraj, ensure that gapps is for arm64 and android8.0.

Also after flashing AOSP rom u need to reboot twrp recovery before flashing gapps. I am currently writing this from aosp rom with gapps working fine.

Of course there r bugs like

No camera

No video playback

No brightness control

Standby battery drain etc.

I'm having an issue with no sound as well. I'm unable to get sound back even after trying stock rom which of course might not be for my variant- bndal10c675. Waiting for stock rom.:good:

[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Jan.Pul:
The backup is for l21c432, this is not enough though, you still need to obtain everything else as described in this guide. When your camera doesn't work flash product image found in the update.app flash the product.img via twrp after the system.img
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ROMystic:

Thanks a lot Jan.pul. What about sound, can you refer to any img file in update.app which I could flash and get it back? Mine is BND-AL10C675 (Indian Variant)and still your backup helped get back although without sound or video and hence the question. I have update.app from the chinese ROM thanks to sid21.

SOLVED- Restoring bnd-al10 back to stock

Can't thank you enough Jan-pul! Thought I would never get the sound back after realizing there is no stock rom available! Now after flashing your product.img it works! sound, camera, video playback, fingerprint, everything fine on my bnd-al10 indian variant.

For anyone wishing to go back to stock on Indian variant and facing some issues, here is what I did:

1. In fastboot mode flashed the TWRP sudip one u recommended.

2. Made TWRP backup of system and vendor partitions so that i could replace the content of it with your backup . Also made a backup of oeminfo partition which I would not be replacing.

3. Accessing the TWRP/BACKUPS/folder(named after mobileserialno)/ from the PC, I replaced the contents there (except oeminfo partition) with the TWRP backup folders of system and vendor partitions you had posted here.

4. From the twrp recovery on phone, tapped Restore and restored vendor partition and then system partition.

5. In my case since I had to flash product.img from you, and then rebooted the system.

Went through the setup process and is now back on stockrom with Gapps and everything working fine!

Only changes I notice are the buildnumber has now changed from bnd-al10c675b141 to System 5.1.0.98(02RC) andthere is no system update option. So not sure if OTA etc. will work but at least the phone is fully functional!

Thanks once again:good:

Blank screen - fastboot working

Please help! after flashing product.img sound etc. was fine but some portions of the emui were acting weird especially theming etc. So I flashed three more .img files from update.app from chinese rom using TWRP.

DTS.img

fw_hifi.img

sensorhub.img

into their respective partitions.

But after rebooting only a BLANK SCREEN. able to hear connected sound and fastboot recognizes device.

But nothing else. The mistake I did was I did not format partitions before flashing. Could that be the issue?

Now only fastboot, no display. Please help!! :(
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Jan.Pul:

Dude I guess I'm having the same problem as you since I've flashed The AOSP room ,When I'm on TWRP recovery and I choose reboot recovery my phone stars again and after the (your device is booting now) screen , instead of TWRP recovery screen I got only a black screen nothing More. And my phone never start again until battery Dead. Also when it on the black screen my pc doesn't recognize the device even The adb comman... I attached 2 picture,, The picture with the three options is the one that allow me to access TWRP by holding volume up for 3 second, The other one is one that causing the black screen..

Sorry for my bad English :silly:
[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ROMystic:
My issue was not during flashing. I flashed some .img files due to which the whole phone got bricked.

In your case still hope is there as there are these two screens that come up.

The second screen is when it is trying to boot to recovery. Is fastboot recognizing the phone?

If yes, flash the recovery onto recovery1 and recovery 2, then disconnect the phone and reboot to recovery.

Also, never make the phone dead. Keep it connected to PC atleast, let it have trickle charging.

The last thing you want is to have a bricked phone without charge.

If you follow the procedure in the video, you should be fine unless you mess with any other file.

Solved: Had to go to service centre and get Mainboard replaced.

Finally I took the bricked phone to service centre today and they had to replace the motherboard. Now its working fine on stock ROM. Won't dare any customization atleast until AOSP ROM is stable.

Guys, one general advice. Please do NOT try flashing any firmware other than that which exactly matches your phone's build number. I never thought it could screw the Motherboard, but it did! (atleast the service centre people did not have any tool which could get it backup until they changed the motherboard. However they were good enough to solve the entire issue in just a few hours!:good:).

[Honor 7X  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ROMystic:
The full ROM image (not OTA) should contain the VENDOR.img (correct me if I'm wrong).

Regarding your second query, you need to use multitool, update extractor to extract update.app and then place the cust.img file onto the other folder where update.zip was extracted. Then point multitool to that and it should tick four options to enable the unbrick button. Not sure if this helps (not sure if this is what u r asking abt) :D

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

If you don't see a cust.img then that's not your proper zip file. Regional file should be around 700mb or so, not 200 or 300mb. After unzipping the file, extract the update. App not using any other tool but the Huawei update extractor which is there in the multi tool. Then you should see cust.img
