P20 lite bootloop - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

So I unlocked bootloader and FRP. Installed magis. It was working, but when i tried to install xposed, it went into a bootloop. Now I'm stuck at eRecovery screen with nothing working. I've done factory reset 10-15 times. Clicking 'Download latest version and recovery' is also not giving anything. Can go to fastboot mode. Went there, saw FRP was locked. Thinking I'll redo the process, I relocked the bootloader. But now the commands aren't working as neither 'allow oem unlock' nor 'usb debugging' is enabled. I can't enable them as phone won't boot up. Any solutions? Please help.

But I didn't install a custom recovery. So no TWRP

So, then try flash same system partition via fastboot.

I tried flashing original firmware using DC-Pheonix. But phone is still in bootloop

What your build ?
If this phone with OREO or with NOUGAT / Android 8.x or 7.x ?

Possibly didn't work because the rom was of a different built. I've an ANE-AL00 8.0.0.131. Any solutions for this fix? Thanks.

You should try at least flash the system from fullota, the firrmware can be found with Firmware Finder for Huawei

Yes. I flashed same file only. But not booting up. In DC, it says file writing complete when in fastboot mode. But in upgrade mode, it fails at 5/31 PACKAGE_TYPE.
I'm using update.app from update.zip. Is that what I should be using? Should I use the other zip files(cn, public etc.)? Please help.

It seems like you are doing well, but have you read the instructions carefully? They recommend when something fail.

@Arseon
you write "ANE-AL00 8.0.0.131" - this is not the "full" build : what's your Cxxx ?
on FirmwareFinder i see (example)ANE-AL00C00B133 ( C00 = Country '00'; B133 = Build Counter )
you need the correctly build from your phone !!!
you can boot to bootloader ?
your bootloader is unlockt ?
your FRP is unlock ?
you have download your build FULL-Update ?
you have with UpdateExtractor from Update.app (inside Update.zip)
- ramdisk.img
- recovery_ramdisk.img
- system.img
extracted ? The Extractor do automatic for all *.img a *.img.header.
you have copy this 6 files to your ADB-Folder ?
If this all "YES" then boot to bootloader and
- fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
- fastboot flash system system.img
reboot phone, phone start to eRecovery and Low-Level format "data" and boot to system.
phone start as "new" phone (initial settings)
good : phone work
no good : all data is lost
AND very important : do not relock the bootloader !
ONLY if bootloader 'unlockt' you can self-repair !

Since bootloader and frp locked, adb commands are not working. Hence I'm using DCPheonix to flash the file. But without luck. It's still botting to eRecovery only

your phone is C675, you flash C00 : no correct
now is inside your phone a 'mix'
i think, you can no self-repair - sorry

@Arseon, my opinion your system partition is a mess due to xposed installation fail.
The solution for this case is restore system partition, it worked for me in the past.
In some cases we can get lucky install a clean system partition even if it is from other region code, because the main differences between regions are located in the other partitions
But what I learning is that system from C00 region don’t follow this standard because at least is missing google apps.
With DCPheonix did with get lucky and flash all files or just the first 4 and stop in the PACKAGE_TYPE?

same situation
I am in the same situation, can only boot to erecovery. I tried boot fastboot flash 4 files (because i have bootloader and frp unlocked) and dc-unlocker without luck. In both cases pass the flash but phone still not boot, only erecovery. I can get twrp works now following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...covery-twrp-3-2-1-0-p20-lite-edition-t3800692 but i dont have backups because i do a factory reset and the internal storage is empty. What can i do in twrp? I flash the correctly firmware for my phone ANE-LX3 8.0.0.104(C605), with this file ANE-LX3C605B130 (8.0.0.130) from here: http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=ANE-LX3&firmware_page=0 . Any other suggestion?
Edit: I can solve my problem. When I connect my phone in fastboot mode to dc-unlocker it give me an info:
Found Phone : ANE-LX3
Model : Huawei phone in fastboot mode
IMEI : 867903xxxxxxxxxxxx
Serial NR. : KPS7N18xxxxxxxxx

and with the firmware info I download that version exactly (ANE-LX3 8.0.0.104(C605, found on easy-firmware web page, paid), flash with dc-phoenix, and i got it, the device boots again. Hope it help to anyone, thks. This thing cost me 28 usd, too expensive for unroot a device lol

In pretty sure you are flashing the wrong firmware, try to push your version with dc-unlocker in fastboot and download the excatly matching firmware. Good luck

well, i have all of this+one more tougher stuff..
Well, I tried to install a custom ROM on my P20 Lite (ane-lx1) via TWRP aand when I failed I ended up into a bootloop, but the thing that got me a headache after a full day of forum research is that when I attempted to install the custom ROM the TWRP wanted a .img file, not a .zip file, so I rebooted after I alreday wiped out everything, I made a backup into the phone, BUT I cant access it because.. the TWRP freezes every time at the TeamWin logo.....the only thing that is accessible now its the fastboot&rescue mode and I'm out of juice and desperated...the bootloader is enabled...i think i preety much killed my phoen and my brain trying to get an android stock experience...i really have to get some sleep,well..thank you for your attention, if you have any suggestions that would pick me up from this mess I would be very greatfull, i'll see what i had left to do as soon as i'm able to...for now, have a good night/day/afternoon, whatever side of the world you're from
Edit:
I left the phone all night into bootloobing and after it got FULLY discharged, I dont know exactly how but the TWRP hasn't popped out, instead after this I was able to get into eRecovery and now it is downloading the 146(C432) version. I guess that I got lucky

You need to unpack the update.app with Huawei Update Extractor and get the system.img.Then flash it with fastboot and check if it boots.

Use this guide - > https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-extracting-stock-firmware-files-t3756733 <- to extract the system.img and then flash the image with this command : fastboot flash system system.img

I bricked my Huawei Mate 10 too
Please help.. I also bricked my Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L29C636...
I installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8_Mate10 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 ROM was from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636E2R1P8B108-log (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues at all but since Huawei Mate 10's EMUI 9.0 is still in Beta, I decided to switch back to the stable EMUI 8.0.
Here's where the problem started... Since I want to downgrade, I went ahead and downloaded the 3 needed files (update.zip, update_all_hw, update_data_public) from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636B143 (8.0.0.143). I fired up HWOTA8_Mate10 and started the installation process. The first step was to boot to fast boot and then plug the device, after that, the software asked me to unplug the device and press volume+ and power button but the device won't boot to recovery anymore. The device is now stuck at "Your device is booting now..." I tried rebooting the device but it won't work. Tried to go to eRevovery to wipe cache/factory reset but it will go back to "Your device is booting now..." page. I tried reinstalling the recovery.img via fastboot and tried to boot to recovery mode again but it won't work anymore. I believe my device is now soft bricked . I can still boot to fastboot, I even tried fastboot flash system system.img which was successful but the device still won't boot. Please help how to recover my device. I think I went too far and now I don't know how to fix this issue.

Flash back stock pie kernel. Hwota flashes recovery and kernel (and ramdisk which fails because there is no ramdisk partition in pie). If kernel doesn't work because its corrupt or wrong (pie kernel is 4.9 while Oreo use 4.4) your device can't boot recovery or boot to system.
You can downgrade using TWRP but you'd have to do it manually.

Look here - > https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/how-people-bricked-phone-rebranding-ota-t3797555 <- use the Huawei Update Extractor tool to get the image files than flash with fastboot.
kernel = fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
system = fastboot flash system system.img
recovery = fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
Obviously, replace image name with the ones you are using.
For downgrading, download this tool - > https://mega.nz/#!oxkQWApD!-PtLtrekX3DS-iglnr7xpdB1285dF1nZSiOSHyZsqKA <- unpack it on your PC, launch Flash.bat and follow the On Screen instructions .

In serious need of some help

Mate 10. So, I tried to install the latest EMUI version using HuRUpdater - bad idea. Now, my phone will not boot. I can enter EMUI Recovery Mode but when I try to receive download package, it says it can't be retrieved. I can also enter Fastboot Mode but the problem with that is that under Device Manager, it only gets recognized as, "Android Bootloader Interface."
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: So, fastboot DOES work. What files from what version do I flash to return to stock recovery? I don't even know if Pie was actually written to the device or not before the device rebooted and wouldn't boot.
edit again: I have just successfully installed TWRP via fastboot but it hangs at startup screen - is this because it's not compatible with Pi?
So I've tried flashing ramdisk_recovery.img, kernel.img and system.img from the Pi version but I still can't factory reset the phone. It boots back to the white screen with the android dude and says, "Please update system again."
Any help would be appreciated...
Using Multi-Tool, it detects my device in Fastboot mode as still 8.0.0.143. So, I'm trying to flash System, Ramdisk, Cust, Recovery_Ramdisk and Userdata......all succeed, except one - Ramdisk.img. When I manually try to flash Ramdisk.img in command prompt, it also fails, "FAILED (remote: partition length get error)". In Multi-tool, the error is, "the size or path does not match the file system markup."
Please, does anyone have any other suggestions? I've been at this for nearly 12 hours straight.
I assume u have unlocked bootloader and frb unlocked too if both yes u can search in xda for zip file beta downy 0.4
It will help you to downgrade emui 9 to. Emui 8
If u have unlocked bootloader only I guess u need funky huawei to restore ur devise
I hope I did helped u
Thanks for the reply.
My bootloader is unlocked but how do I know if I have unlocked FRP?
And downy tool requires ADB but I can only access Fastboot.
edit: I just checked and my FRP is also unlocked. What now?
Tried Funky Huawei just now, no go. Still get package can't be received error in ERecovery after following all of the instructions. Have emailed them as that's what they suggest doing if it didn't work.
Not sure what else to try to be honest. How the hell does updating my phone from 8.0.0.143 to 9.0.0.159 with HuRUpdate brick my phone? Ffs.

Well, it happened because HuRUpdater it's not supported on EMUI 9.0.
Ramdisk fails to flash because even if in fastboot your device is showing as 8.0.0.143, it has EMUI 9's partition layout, so no more ramdisk partition.
Try flashing a firmware with the DLOAD method (search on androidhost.ru for a firmware designed for your device/cust).

Try flashing a firmware with the DLOAD method (search on androidhost.ru for a firmware designed for your device/cust).

Damn. Well, that makes perfect sense. A question - do I flash the 9.0.0 version or 8.0.0.143 version?

Try with EMUI 9 first, then, if it fails, try Oreo. The most important part is finding a DLOAD firmware for your cust/region.
I've fixed it!
Funky emailed me back and I ended up using a different method on their site which worked like a charm. I couldn't recommend them enough.
Hi, good to hear you got it sorted! Would you mind sharing the details on what you had to do differently with FHC? I'm in the same boat here with a mate 10 pro that died on emui9 and I'm not sure if I should go the FHC way or not...
Thx - David

Need help finding the right firmware for my p20 lite

Hi
I recently bought a p20 lite from Facebook and i think the previous owner must have flashed the wrong firmware. In developer options there is no oem unlock button, and i tried eRecovery and it didn't work. The phone is dual sim, some apps see as if the phone is rooted and when i check with root checker, there's no root. I'm from South Africa and i hope i provided the necessary information. I would like to downgrade the phone to the firmware I'll be able to get the bootloader code from.

Hi, just to be sure -
A) enter Project Menu (*#*#2846579#*#*) > 'Network info ... ' > 'Vendor country info'
B) In fastboot mode run command
fastboot oem oemimforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
and post the results.
Edit.: what was the reason for the failure with erecovery?

Thanks for the reply man.
Vendor country is hw/meafnaf. Secondly, I get oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION failed. When i did erecovery i got 'Getting package info failed' i did factory reset and tried again but same error.

Okay, try this way out:
1. Download Oreo Service ROM
2. Unpack it and copy dload folder (can be found in 'Software') to the SD Card (without unpacking it!)
3. Turn of your phone and use three button combo (dload method) .
The process will erase all your data!

ANE-LX1 - Change Vendor/Country Code

Hi folks, I've had a Huawei P20 Lite lying around here for a while. It is a demo device.
I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader with using the Testpoint method.
Now I need help to change the country code from "demo" to "eu" and I also need the right firmware. Is there a free way to change the country code?
I hope you can help me with that ? Thanks in advance.

Hi, look here
If you are running EMUI 9.1, flash C432 oeminfo and use variant with HuRupdater https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...0-0-046-070f-emui-8-0-0.4324543/post-85538623
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...0-0-046-070f-emui-8-0-0.4324543/post-85538725
Thanks in advance. Somehow I can no longer get into the / system or the smartphone can no longer boot. When running HuRupdater I also get an error message that / System cannot be mounted. It only boots TWRP
I was able to import the oeminfo beforehand. There weren't any problems.

Can you write down exactly what you did?
What is your version of EMUI?
In fastboot mode run commands:
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
and post the results.
I guess I've stupidly used the wrong command line a number of times to get twrp to run.
fastboot flash system, boot or recovery twrp....
At least it worked with the country ID change ... if only a small consolation for the first
fastboot oem get-build-number

fastboot getvar vendorcountry

your firmware is incomplete, it must be 8.0.0.143, if I'm not mistaken. Try again Huru method & factory reset in Stock recovery (not in TWRP!).
Or, download Service ROM Link , unpack , there's dload folder in "Software" . Copy dload folder (without unpacking it) to the OTG flash, turn off the phone and press and hold both volume buttons + Power ( this method will lock the BL again).
Thanks for the files. But i get an
Softwaere install failed
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
EDIT: cant find the firmware version: ANE-L01C185B112 / ANE-LX1 8.0.0.112(C432)

Probably due to incomplete firmware .112 , ( it was stupidity on my part to suggest Service ROM in this case, sorry. Maybe I was too sleepy...).
1. Try again Hurupdater method, it should work (don't forget to press Volume down)
2. Reboot into eRecovery, if possible, and select Download latest version and recovery

Okay, idon't think that's relevant anymore anyway
I found the problem. It was the TWRP version. I took the latest one (twrp-3.5.2_9-0-anne.img) and it couldn't mount the /system partition. Now I took a version from this forum (twrp-3.2.1-0.img), which seems to be specially adapted for the Huawei devices. Unfortunately, it doesn't support OTG, but that wasn't a problem because I moved the files it to the internal memory.
Only with this twrp version could HuRUpdater.zip be executed correctly and all other files just like that. Here, too, I was first asked to press the vol-down button.
After the smartphone finally boots properly, I flash the firmware via dload to lock the bootloader again and do over the Recovery Wipe data / factory reset + cach partition.
Now I'm on version 8.0.0.046(0CXB). Unfortunately the device cannot find a new firmware version and nothing can be updated via HiSuit.
Can you tell me which step I have to take now to get the latest Android version for the device?
Thank you very much so far for your help

Unfortunately, you have incomplete FW there again, I think you're doing something wrong. And until the correct FW is there, you won't be able to receive OTA update or update via dload.
If you have followed instructions to the letter , it must work.
Use this TWRP . ( I don't know why you used TWRP 3.5.2.9, in the guide there is a link to 3.2.1-pretoriano80.). 3.5.2.9 isn't fully compatible with our device.
Try this way out:
- Flash TWRP
- Wipe - format data
- Reboot back to TWRP
- Wipe - Advanced wipe - wipe Dalvik/ART, cache, data, system
- Go back and flash HuRu
Note: the installation of the first file (write radio image...) must take longer, 2-3 minutes, this is proof that the installation is proceeding properly.
Btw, have you tried update via eRecovery & Wi-Fi?
Did it exactly like that. And then the 9.1.0.370 (C432) from the same thread loaded (dload / ANE-L01_hw_eu).
Now i have the firmware: ANE-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.370 in the device information.
Unfortunately, there is no further update, but I also don't know whether the current one is already the most recent?
What I also notice is that Dual-Sim settings are available in the menus. The IMEI2 is only provided with 000000000000000. I know that my device "only" supports single SIM.
Can I fix that too? Then everything should be fine as far as possible

Oh, it's all clear now
Because this oeminfo is for dual SIM. Oeminfo for single SIM can be found for example here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/c432-single-sim-oeminfo.3873312/
Also update_all_hw.zip file is for ANE-L21, you need ANE-L01, unfortunately, I don't have files for single SIM.

Maybe...You have to downgrade to Oreo via HuRupdater using downloaded files, then install TWRP over eRecovery and install stock Recovery.
Download https://androidhost.ru/2zMw and create dload folder .
In TWRP install new oeminfo.img , then go back to the main TWRP's menu, select Reboot > Power off. Use three buttons kombo to flash service ROM.
To be honest, I've never tried a variation like this, so I'm not responsible for this procedure, but it should work. The question is, is it worth it ...

Which step is missing now exactly? I followed the steps from you. I also used the files from the other thread that you linked. The single-sim / dual-sim problem is not important either. The main thing is that it works that way too

Are you sure? In my opinion, this is your main problem...
Hello, it's been a while. I sat down again and went through everything. The dual SIM files fold onto a single SIM smartphone. I was finally able to install the update via eRecovery after flashing via TWRP. Then two updates were pulled or installed via Android OS. Now I'm on 9.1.0.132 (C432E5R1P7).

Update yourbphone to latest v14
Is there any way to relock the phone just through fastboot? After installing an OTA update, the partitions should match the vbmeta partition, right? So could just relock the bootloader using fastboot flashing lock or would the phone not start then?

Your device will go in to boot img corrupt after that.......
PLEASE NOTE: This isnt working if you are on a custom rom! My Bootloader ist broken and locked and I have to figure out how to fix this ****.
Hello Pankspoo.
I reset my Nord 2 again with an A11 image.
Now I wanted to lock the bootloader again. I have implemented your instructions one to one.
After that, the Nord 2 will boot normally and start.
But in the developer options I can still unlock the bootloader. So the option is not greyed out. The OTA cannot be installed but does not lead to a bootloop either.
I used the appropriate boot.img recovery & vbmeta.img.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards

Check YASNAC app from play store if it's showing safety net check passed your locked.
While installation of OTA what's errors u r getting.
After locking OEM unlock not grates off actually now it's available to unlock again with switchable tab
Sorry for crossposting a lot today, but I am really stuck and it seems that this may be the tool I need. I am on A15, cannot lock bootloader and cannot update.
So, to be sure, for this to work I need the boot.img, recovery.img and vbmeta.img for A15 stock rom? If yes, where can I get those files?
I found the files! Thank you for this guide! It worked perfectly. I really thought my phone was completely bricked. Coming from a Pixel, the root/restore process on this thing is a complete nightmare!!

This happened to me. It turns out that I had version A10 and flashed the A12stock_boot.img and when rebooting I had no wifi. I had no twrp either, since I had just flashed the stock recovery too.
So, I figured "did this actually updated to A12?" I checked the build version on the settings and no, it did not. So maybe thats the reason the system gets confused and some functions (I only noticed wifi) don't work properly.
Anyway, this is how I solved it:
1) restored my A10 version (flashing the file I got from a link on this post)
2) rebooting to A10, I did have wifi. I tried to update to A19 through Software Updater, but even though it did download the update.zip, it failed to update ("didn't pass the verification"). So, I:
3) flashed TWRP again, rebooted into it and installed the update.zip file (in data/ota_package/) that had just been downloaded by Software Updater.
4) Rebooted.
5) Fastboot flashing lock
6) Rebooted again. Congrats, its a brand new phone!!
P.S. Don't forget to lock the OEM unlocking option in Settings.
