Hey guys. I have the Huawei Ascend XT and I thought I was hard bricked and I started to mess around with some of the commands with Fastboot. I was able to get my phone back up and running. I am currently on the B180 but I am assuming it will work for any version between B140 and B180. What happened with me was I wiped my system partition but I had an unlocked bootloader. I could not get TWRP to boot up or I wasn't able to flash it because of the "FRP Lock", which is also known as Factory Reset Protection so a lot of commands were disabled such as "fastboot -w" to do a factory reset so I thought the worst case scenario.
1. Make sure you can access the "Rescue & Fastboot Mode" by holding down the Volume Down button and Power Button. Mine boot looped for a few screen flashes but it eventually booted into it.
2. Download the stock B140 recovery from here, post #7. (Special Thanks to clsA) https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-ascend-xt/help/stock-ascend-xt-recovery-t3572924
3. Assuming you have already downloaded the Minimal ADB and Fastboot files, open up a command prompt navigating to the fastboot folder and type in the following commands: "fastboot boot recovery.img"
4. After it boots, you can go ahead a do a factory reset via the recovery. It will be stuck on 99% and it wont go to 100%. Give the phone 5 minutes on 99% before doing anything. It gives it a chance to wipe everything completely.
5. Reboot your phone by holding the Volume Down and Power button until it boots into "Recovery & Fastboot Mode" and then flash TWRP as you like. As you can now see that "FRP Lock" disappeared thus allowing you to flash recoveries and use commands again.
It helped me so I hope it helps you out, saved me a lot of stress. Press thanks if this helped and feedback is always welcome.
