Hi,

i had my honor 8x (64gb/4gb) [JSN-AL00a] run on android 8. (latest update within settings)

I decided to give it a try and installed hisuite on my pc.
Everything seemed to go well.

Right after the update it gave me a bootloop. And the message, that i had loaded another operating system.
No unlocked bootloader nor FPR disabled. So fastboot tells me "command not allowed".

Huawei multi tool tells me i got a JSN-L22 device now.

Any way to get my phone back to life?
I tried many different (AL00, L21, L22 etc) extracted OTA Updates (mostly about 3-5GB each.
Put the updates UPDATE.APP in "dload" on my sdcard but it keeps saying "update failed" when i go to download mode +/- pressed at the same time)

Thanks for your help!



Update :

To recover do the following:

- put phone to fastboot (connect to pc, reboot pressing volume down)
- open huawei multi tool
- read current version (regioncode c636, model l22)
- get matching full firmwarearchive (android 9)
- put archive as is to folder "dload" on usb drive (max. 8gb, fat32)
- reboot phone to download mode (press vol up and down while power on)
- connect usb otg adapter with flashdrive
- wait for update to finish
- install latest android 9 with ota update on phone
- put in simcard, reboot phone
- wait for notification about android 10)
- update
- enjoy!
