HELP:Honor Hard bricked: Bootloop stuck at booting now screen only fastboot - Honor 9 Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
so I had installed RROS 8.1 on my Honor 9 STF-L09, but capacitive buttons and flashlight didn't work, so i decided to roll back to B120 via HWOTA in recovery, I think I chose a wrong stock recovery image so there went something wrong and the phone won't boot up..
It was stuck at the Bootloader unlocked - Your device is booting now... screen, I only can access fastboot mode.
I've already tried every unbrickng method I know. First I tried to unbrick it via Multitool and stock firmware and recovery but this didn't help, I did just get another screen where I was stuck(Error mode: func11: recovery , load failed or sth like that). I also tried flashing TWRP but it doesn't work, it says it was successfully installed, just like with multitool, but i am still stuck. Also tried flashing Stock recovery image and then using dload sd card method but it won't even go to Emui restoring screen.. I actually just tried to flash all the important image files from update.APP (which I know how to flash via fastboot), but it didn't do anything. After trying again via Multitool I am again stuck at the 'unlocked screen'.
If somebody could help i would be so thankful, I don't know what to do now.. THANK YOU
Sorry for my bad english I am a student from germany

Yes, C432, i installed it on B363 bur don't know if it was the same at RROS.
Now that you ask I'm not that sure it could also have been the mistake that I maybe used HWOTA7 which I used to upgrade to Oreo B363. I tried to rollback to B130.
It was a STF_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img Recovery I think it actually was the Nougat version but could have also been oreo...
Thanks for replying btw

Everytime I try to do without usb plugged I will get a red sign with a lightning that tells me battery is empty, this won't change if I charge it, could be an error but also could have to do something that it always stays on this booting now screen when plugged in and not in fastboot mode. Actually this Battery sign pops up everytime I shut it down when I try to boot(just not with fastboot), even if plugged in but then it works after a few seconds. I asked Multitool for Battery voltage in fastboot and got this answer: ...
(bootloader) 5298mv
OKAY [ 0.012s]
finished. total time: 0.020s
Btw I just noticed that in stuck screen red led lights up like every 2-3sec
Thank you for the fast answer

Leave the phone overnight (around 12 hours) to be charged with the original charger then try again on the computer
to restore it.
It happens to myself with a Motorola phone years ago.

I will try, what type of restoring do you mean?
Edit: Didn't work for me.. Still tells me battery is empty. I think it has to be a software issue or so:crying:

You can restore it using a paying software called DC-Phoenix.
I own a license, PM me if you need further help.

do u have access to recovery?? if u have, then u can just flash previous build without wiping data..
Think if you press vol+ vol- and power and then use the button combo to boot into TWRP you will be fine, takes abit of messing to get it right.

Did you try this solution? Did it work? Did you lose your apps/data?
Solved
Eventually managed to get onto twrp using adb (it was a bit of a statistical process... Didn't always work)
From there I just flashed cm 14.1 again, and it looks OK now
Thanks you all for the help!
Like I said earlier failed flash by CMxx doesn't overwrite TWRP, you can boot back into recovery just have to try a few times. Happened to me pressing both volume buttons and power switched phone off then I used button combo and it booted into TWRP.
Might have to grab a usb cable and use ADB to boot into fastboot. It happened to me and that was the only way for me.

Stuck in Fastboot Mode

Hello everyone !
I have a rooted, unlocked mi A3 with magisk and twrp everything worked fine but when i wanted to restart it, it goes to fastboot mode automatically...
I tried to fastboot reboot recovery, it boot in fastboot
If i type fastboot reboot, it goes to fastboot mode
If i press the power off button for 15 second it reboot to fastboot...
Do you have an idea how to repair this ? I don't car about loosing what is on my phone if necessary
EDIT: got some news if I set fastboot --setactive=a the phone boot correctly i can use it normally with no bug even reboot it without any problem
EDIT 2 : I solved the problem, i uninstalled magisk and everything was solved, I can get to recovery etc... Somehow magisk did something that my phone did not like
if I write fastboot setactive=b it bootloop
Thank you
it says unknown --setactive=a command
I also tried this method but system is says unknown --setactive=a command
I can't boot my mi a3.
Please help, me service center says motherboard is damaged.
It's cost 5600 Rs.
Help me please please..?????
Can you boot into twrp recovery? Turning off phone and doing power + volume up button. If yes you can try doing a factory reset.

Are you bootloader unlocked?
stuck on fastboot screen
Sir to be honest i am not a software person and possibly wont understand what you said, but ill explain in detail what exactly happened.
First I had purchased Mi a3 with android 9 and later i got an update saying android 10 the phone was working absolutely fine.
Today i received another update which mentioned android 10 and as usual i updated it and when i restarted the phone i directly got that fast boot screen.
I went thru so many websites regarding this issue but did not find any solution and almost everywhere it said to flash the phone.
So i tried to flash the phone, I downloaded firmware, miflash tool, abd drivers, after doing all this my phone is not being detected on my pc, i checked device manager and even i got links from XDA as well i followed that as well but still no luck on detection.
Upon finding the query on detection issue i found solutions to debug from my device but my device is not starting up so i even cant do debugging as well.
Please help.

Did you try to reset the phone using the recovery mode?
From switch off, press simultaneously for a few moments the Volume Up and Power Button.
you should enter in recovery mode and apply a factory reset.
this works for me

I cannot enter the recovery mode when i press the buttons you said it again comes at fast boot screen and i tried to flash with mi flash tool but that flash process continuesly goes on and no changes in phone.

Phone bricked after wiping twrp

(this all happend 3 years ago and im asking now as i need a backup phone )
i flashed twrp and pixel experience well dum me clicked reset in pixel experience settings then it bootlooped into twrp for eternity now dum 2019 me thought that wiping twrp from fastboot would force it to boot into the system well it didnt work and even now whatever i try it does not boot (it just vibrates but will not boot i tried all combinations possible and also tried the miraclebox guide which didnt work)

Try first charging the battery and installing the stock ROM (the latest) through SP Flash tool.

Well, this is the whole idea to flash a stock ROM, if it is an issue at software level it has to solve it. Check carefully some things that could help to diagnose the brick level, like device is vibrating, device can boot till bootanimation, logo is showing some letters and so on.

Try flashing the firmware and see what happens, and if, which modes are available for you, fastboot, recovery.
