Honor 9 can boot just in to TWRP - Honor 9 Questions & Answers

after fastboot oem relock I can boot just to TWRP, PWR+Vol- will boot only to TWRP, also if if press reboot to bootloader in TWRP it boots into TWRP.
tried to install update.zip but throws errors
what state am I in an any idea how to recover?
I just wanted to unroot/relock
Thanks for any advise

Phone was working, unlocked and still rooted ?
Then, you decided to boot to bootloader to send a 'fastboot oem relock' command then you rebooted ?
Now you stated bootloader is replaced with twrp ?
When trying to flash random update.zip throught twrp, it gives you error message.
What's the problem here ?

yes, was working, unlocked and still rooted
also yes to 'fastboot oem relock'
bootloader was TWRP before
not flashing random update.zip, just the b120.

I don't think trying to flash stock update.zip through twrp will achieve anything...

I just extracted what's in update.app, recovery.img, boot.img etc, any idea what do I can or must flush?

I suspect the bootloader is locked, is there a way to unlock it from within TWRP, same as with fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxx ?

I'll assume you meant bootloader was twrp AFTER you locked bootloader and was still bootloader before you locked it ?
By the way, before you locked you're bootloader, you were on which firmware and wich region ?

yes, correct TWRP was before I locked and it is still now.
I was on B120 EU

Ok, from your C432B120 you could try to restore the dload way to stock C432B130 with this file :
http://androidhost.ru/v5
(instructions are inside the file, and you will need a formated exfat >8GB sdcard)

update.app in /sdcard/dload/ folder
volume down+ volume up+ power button
just did that, nomather which key combination I press, TWRP will boot

I did try to flash recovery.img in TWRP and now I'm in this, no more TWRP but ERROR MODE
soo, I guess I reach the point of no return just send for repair? I'm still under warranty

after draining the battery overnight as turning off did not work, I'm back to TWRP, TWRP appeared "magically" again
now the question ist, what can I flush in TWRP to go in to fastboot/bootloader again?

update:
forced to reproduce the ERROR MODE (see previous photo) with flashing boot.img and recovery.img in TWRP and could unlock bootloader again with:
c:\adb>fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxx
< waiting for any device >
--------------- hier I pressed Vol- plus PWR to force reboot after that fastboot unlocked and had on the phone the question if I want to unlock------------------
...
(bootloader) The device will reboot and do factory reset...
OKAY [ 20.001s]
finished. total time: 20.021s
now I have to figure out what to flash with fastboot, anyone have an idea?

update2:
drained the battery, rebooted Vol- + PWR
and I'm in fastboot now, stange stuff happens here
but same question, what to flash with fastboot to get it working again?

update 3:
extracted recovery.img and recovery2.img from B120 FW and flashed with fastboot
then B130 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892
now everything works.
the important thing was to unlock bootloader, even if you get the ERROR MODE you still have fastboot ad can lock/unlock the bootloader, see post #13

Congratulations

[HELP][CRITICAL] stuck with no recovery, no root and locked bootloader on Sultan CM13

Hello Guys,
I was trying to install OxygenOS 3.1.0 when I was on Sultanxda's CM13 but instead bricked the device.
What I did:-
1. Rebooted to TWRP and flashed stock OOS recovery and then clicked reboot into recovery.
2. Instead of rebooting in recovery my phone got stuck at the OnePlus logo.
3. I booted into fastboot to flash twrp.img but it says 'writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot erase)'
4. I repeated the same with stock recovery but no success and was not even able to boot to CM13 now.
Hence I was stuck on the OnePlus logo without any booting ROM or recovery and a locked bootloader (according to fastboot)
What I have already tried but failed:-
1. Tried to root with kingroot etc. (Before bricking)
2. Tried to unlock bootloader but failed because it has no recovery.
3. Tried to flash stock OOS 2.1.3-x
4. For now I used fastboot continue to boot back into CM13
Please help, I'm now stuck with cm13 without root and without any recovery installed.
P.S. I'm not even sure that if I clicked reboot then the phone will boot.
Thanks.
Okay, calm down.
Go to developer options and see if "OEM Unlocking" is enabled. If not, enable it.
Cool. Now enable USB Debugging, connect the phone to PC, open CMD and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Download TWRP from the official website, rename it to recovery.img and then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you have a recovery and an unlocked bootloader. Profit?
I hope this helps.

Oreo or Nougat recovery - STF-L09

Hi all,
Currently running Oreo (via OldDroid manual update) then LOS 15.1 (Berkley unofficial) on top, which is great but would like NFC, buttons, flashlight.
What is the best method to reinstate this functionality? I have tried the rollback for OldDroid rollback to no avail. I believe this method assumes you are rooted, which i am not.
Happy to be on EMUI 5 if necessary as i believe i can now update to Oreo OTA.
Cheers
Can i provide further pertinent information or ask elsewhere to get replies?
What did you do in the fist place to go from stock oreo to LOS 15.0 ; any links ?
Thank you.
I flashed the system image using "fastboot flash system system.img" via article https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-honor-view-10-huawei-mate-10-pro-project-treble/
Cheers
I think, once unrooted, you'll have to flash back stock system.

Great, thank you. I am not rooted so I extracted the system.img from STF-L09SC432B360a (from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=STF-L09&firmware_page=0) using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-extracting-stock-firmware-files-t3756733
Then using that stock emui 8 system image:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
I receive the following error:
error: cannot load 'SYSTEM.img'
Any ideas?
Cheers
Another attempt at system.img extract using my windows box and the windows software referred to in https://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...files-t3756733.
This time i was able to flash the system.img successfully. When the device booted, it boot looped 3/4 times then i received :
Huawei eRecovery :
"Serious problems occurred when the phone boot, you are recommended to do factory data reset
NOTE: user data will be wiped after recovery".
I performed this reset and device booted to TWRP some commands took place but too quick (saw selinux buts thats it). Device rebooted twice then loaded Huawei eRecovery where the only option is :
Download latest version and recovery
Restore system with wifi
Entered wifi details
Getting package info from server
Getting package info failed.
Booting into TWRP the 'Factory Reset' option performs the same process that i saw when Huawei eRecovery recommended the factory data reset. Some i'm confident in what happened at that point now. Unsure as to what to try at this point. The phone does not boot into EMUI and will only boot to Huawei eRecovery.
The bootloader is unlocked, as per the process to install LineageOS 15.1 in the link in the OP. I've not checked if its still unlocked, but guess that could be causing a problem?
Just checked and bootloader is unlocked.
Interestingly the process to re lock it from the Huawei site (https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_step) shows that you have to use the same command to lock the bootloader as to lock it again:
Note: to re-lock the bootloader after unlocking it, restore the device’s software to the Huawei official version using a microSD card then switch the device to fastboot mode and enter “fastboot oem unlock ****************” in the computer’s command prompt, where * refers to the 16-digit unlock password. The device will then restart, and the bootloader lock status will change to “Bootloader Lock State: RELOCKED”.
If i follow those instructions i get the below error:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock **************** <-my 16 digit code
...
FAILED (remote: already fastboot unlocked)
Stop trying to lock your bootloader, it won't help you. Interresing info though.
Did it occur to you that after flashing back successfully system.img it could have been good to flash back stock recovery over twrp ?
This way you would have bootloop 3 or 4 times, and then stock recovery would have launch, not twrp.
I think a format system from this stock recovery, not twrp, would have solve your problem.
Thanks. So I can leave the boot loader unlocked at this point and run stock emui? I'll flash stock recovery. Perhaps that will suggest factory reset and then I'll be able to boot.
Thanks again.

In order to revert to the stock recovery is it necessary to flash all three recovery images from the update.app file? :
recovery_ramdisk
recovery_vendor
recovery_vbmeta
Looking at flashing the recovery_ramdisk image with the stock version i have extracted using the below:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img
Noticed the stock recovery_ramdisk i extracted has a filename of 'RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img', not ending in 'K' for 'RAMDISK. Presumably i can simply rename my recovery_ramdisk to "RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img" unless a 15 character filename is a limitation, or adjust my fastboot command to :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_[B]RAMDIS[/B].img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Did the trick to boot back into EMUI 8. However, i still have an intermittent torch/flashlight and the navigation keys/buttons do not work.
Any ideas on where i go from here?

You'll need to be unrooted and with stock recovery for applying ota when it will be available.
I don't know if you'll need stock kernel for ota...

Great, i should be able to meet this criteria quite easily then :
+ I've never rooted the device
+ I have reverted to stock recovery
+ I flashed the stock kernel over the top of the button fix kernel mentioned earlier in this thread.
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

Bricked Honor 9

[you can use this tool to solve brick problems https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279]
Hi everyone, I'm "new" on the forum. "New" because they are days looking for answers to repair my Honor 9...
After unlocking it, installed twrp and RRos 6.0 I made a mistake, I uninstalled the gapps from the system manually, and after restarting the phone, various error messages continued on terminated processes (com.google... stopped working).
I tried again to reinstall the gapps via twrp but nothing to do, after trying to reinstall the RRos (with full wipe), new error messages kept going out, but this time not only the gapps.. (trebuchet etc ...).
Trying several wipes and reinstallations of the RRos, I tried to go back to the EMUI 8.0, so I tried to install the European firmware via SD and folder DLOAD, but once I got to 5% the installation crashes.
Via fastboot I also tried to install the twrp again, but the recovery stock continues to appear.
Looking on xda and generally on the internet I have found various people with this problem and they have tried to solve with programs like DC-Unlocker or Phoenix, but they had locked bootloader or frp .. I from fastboot I have PHONE Unlocked and FRP Unlock.
I also tried to flash the img contained in the UPDATE.APP file, but nothing happens ... just recovery stock. Help please i am desperate :crying: and sorry for my english.
EDIT - 27/03/2018
-I solved many of the problems I had in this post, now I'm still in the twrp and I can not flash the stock firmware.
-I'm trying to format the microsd in exfat and then install update.app.
-I can not copy the 4.66GB update.app file to the MicroSD in exfat, fat or ext4 via twrp / PC. I will try with another SD reader.
-I formatted the sd in exfat and I managed to copy the dload folder, run the restore and no longer blocked at 5% (gave a 99% error). The system started and I went back to the b130 with nougat, now I try again to install the b120 to restore the captive keys. (trying again with hwota)
-Hwota worked, now with the b120 everything works correctly, now I'm looking for a way to restore OTA Updates.(I will try to install the b183)
-With the b183 ota works, but not the keys / flash. I will try to downgrade to b120, than reupdate to b183 without wipe anything .
-b120 keys working, update to b183 and not working again, I try update ota oreo and search for a kernel.
-Almost everything resolved! After switching from the b183 to the b360, I reunlocked the Honor and installed the kernel with the fix to the capacitive keys. Relock the phone but the Google Logo appears at boot, even after installing the stock kernel.

To my knowledge, they are no oreo service repair firmware publicly available yet. So, for now, no flashing firmware with dload once on oreo.
You could use HWOTA8to8 or HWOTA8to7 or the translated russian TOOL from last febuary.

my device was NEO-something, in settings it showed 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB, screen resolutution 1280x720 instead of fullHD and 32GB of internal memory instead of 64, so I wanted to change that.
This time I downloaded (not so sure about this now) proper version of firmware: RNE-L21C432B135CUSTC432D001, and used another method because previous method didnt work, link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76503686&postcount=46
the HuRUpdater scrpit worked fine, I booted up the device and nothing was changed, so I was like, well, ok then.
but then I noticed that my bootloader was locked, so I wanted to unlock it, and after typing the *fastboot oem unlock code* and selecting yes on my device, It rebooted and just stuck at the "Powered by andriod" logo.
I was trying to enter TWRP but id doesnt work, its stuck at the loading screen, I was unable to enter fastboot, but now I figured out that when I discharge it, I'm able to enter fastboot.
So now I'm stuck, I don't know what should I do.
I saw a guide for flashing .img files from UPDATE.APP, but that guide was for Oreo, and I've got diffrent .img files inside my Nougat UPDATE.APP so I don't want to risk:

you should format by using fastboot. First download your stock ROM and extract with Huawei Firmware Extracter. Select UPDATE.APP and extract following files:
erecovery_kernel.img
erecovery_ramdisk.img
erecovery_vbmeta.img
cust.img
erecovery_vendor.img
kernel.img
ramdisk.img
recovery_vbmeta.img
recovery_vendor.img
system.img
Reboot your device in to fastboot mode (recovery mode) and flash those files one by one:
fastboot flash erecovery_kernel erecovery_kernel.img
...
fastboot flash system system.img
//
Erase your userdata space:
fastboot -w
//reboot
fastboot reboot
Now go to your stock recovery and do factory reset, wide cache.
Now your device back to stock OREO

Any Ideas?
HOW I FIXED:
I downloaded this EMUI 5 Nougat, Thanks to bozka1:
https://androidhost.ru/5SZ
I extracted UPDATE.APP file using Huawei Update Extractor.
I was trying to flash everything via fastboot: BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img, CUST.img, SYSTEM.img but nothing helped me.
I found out what you can flash via fastboot here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/huawei-fastboot-commands-t3850123
There was no hope for me, so I tried to flash USERDATA.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then cmd promped something unusual:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'userdata' (24576 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.646s]
writing 'userdata'...
(bootloader) success to erase cryypt info in oeminfo
OKAY [ 1.401s]
finished. total time: 2.049s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I proceeded to flash: BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img and CACHE.img
I didn't flash SYSTEM.img because I flashed it before like 1500 times.
My phone didn't work yet so I used the DLOAD method because RECOVERY finally worked, so I shut down the device and used three buttons combo:
First holding Volume Up, Volume Down and then pressing Power Button.
There is a documentation in the firmware I downloaded, SDcard must be in exFAT format.
Thank You bozka1.

Single SIM/dual SIM ?
Try reboot your phone into fastboot mode and use command
fastboot oem get-build-number
you'll see the number of your current firmware

So I'll have to wait a little before I'll download Service ROM, my internet connection isn't the greatest, but I flashed Your TWRP and unfortunately it doesn't work;
If I hold the Power button and Volume Up - the same story as before, I see the loading TWRP screen and nothing happends,
If I let the device to boot up and then press only the Volume Up button - it says "Your device is booting up" and nothing happens.
By the way, what can happen when I'll use "fastboot flash recovery something.img" instead of recovery2?
EDIT:
I did some testing and Your TWRP doesn't boot at all on my device, I flashed another one, Catuva21 3.1.1 Nougat, and that is the one that I had before - it is booting but never loads.

TWRP will automatically overwrite Stock recovery, it's impossible to flash something from dload without Stock recovery .
Using command "recovery2" you will install TWRP over eRecovery .
Try flash Service ROM from SD card without TWRP & oeminfo flashing, but Im not sure... your system is heavily damaged and incomplete .

So the phone would boot up the TWRP without pressing anything? Damn, I might have done that typo error... Do You know if I can restore the stock recovery from the UPDATE.APP file? I mean flash it

Use Huawei Update Extractor and extract RECOVERY.img , copy it to the "Minimal ADB and fastboot" folder . Command :
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img

Yeah, I've done it already, unfortunately nothing changed. How about BOOT.img? Can this influence something?
EDIT:
I also wonder about just following the steps in my first post, I've got UPDATE.APP for Oreo, but I don't know if it will only make it worse.

Do I have to install oeminfo to be able to use the "three buttons combo"? Because I tried it today and it doesn't work, phone is just stuck at "Your device is booting.." screen, guess I'm out of luck
I fixed it, solution will be attached to first post.

Alright, so did it just happened randomly or did you tried to do something with your phone? Did you unlocked bootloader or flashed custom recovery etc? You need to explain what happened, that's quite important if you want someone to help you.
