P10 Lite WAS-LX2J hard bricked - can't get into TWRP

[Yackeroeni]

I was trying to install lineageos on my Huawei P10 Lite.
I unlocked fastboot and oem and installed TWRP.

When flashing lineageos it soft bricked the phone, so I tried to recover by flashing eliterom. This failed as well so I tried lineageos again.

Now the phone won't even start booting (i.e. no bootloop, but stuck on the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" page).

I can get into the e-recovery by holding power and volume up, but the recovery always fails as well.

I don't know how to get into TWRP, as adb won't recognize the device because the boot never really starts.


Is there anything else I can try to recover this phone?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

turn phone off, then hold volume+ and power, this should boot you into TWRP
otherise try dload recovery method or reflash TWRP via bootloader?

Seems you have only one choice:
Download service rom for your model, put files on the SDCard in folder called "dload", press and hold all 3 buttons: Power + VolUP + VolDown
Then will begin system update and you will have fresh stock rom with stock recovery and locked bootloader. The phone will be as new
Service ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097
Example:
Was-lx1 dual sim phone, on your sd card create folder a dload and put files like that:
/dload/update.app
/dload/WAS-L21_hw_eu/update_WAS-L21_hw_eu.app
then turn off the phone and press all 3 buttons

This method works on WAS-LX1, LX1A and others and should also work on WAS-LX2 but you need rom for your region.

You can get into the recovery mode by holding down volume down and plugging in the usb connector. This way you can try re-flashing twrp, good luck!

I have this problem, I can get into twrp however. (I tried to install lineageos and it failed)

I have the WAS-LX2J version of the phone but I dont know where to get the rom for my region, any help hugely appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will work, but you can use HwOTA7 to install your firmware.
HwOTA can be used to Upgrade from EMUI5 to EMUI8 or Install EMUI5 to EMUI5.
HwOTA7 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/hwota-huawei-p10-lite-t3776186
WAS-LX2J Firmware - http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=WAS-LX2J&firmware_page=0 (click on Filelist to see all files)
you need to download FullOTA files (update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip, update_full_WAS-L22J_hw_jp.zip) and also choose your region (C635, C600 or C719)

Example WAS-LX2J, Region C635, Firmware version B190:

Thank you very much!

I just want to check a few things before I try this:

How do I know which region(C635 etc)?

Also, before I start could you explain to me the difference between the first firmware you linked at pro-team.ru and the hicloud files you linked?

Thanks very much anyway, hopefully this works!

1st firmware files are only for European C432 region and model WAS-LX1 or WAS-LX1A.
DO NOT USE IT!!! You can REBRAND your LX2J (Asia) to LX1 (Europe) but it's most likely to have problems with LTE 4G network because of the different Band supports.
So, DO NOT REBRAND ASIAN models to EUROPEAN!!!

2nd firmware is Asian, but there is several regions for Asian LX2J: C635, C600 or C719.
C635 is the most popular.

you can get into the recovery,I think...check it:
remove cables
goto erecovery and press reboot
press vol.up button immediately(hold until recovery starts)
If you can't get into recovery yet, maybe you have corrupted recovery.
Try downloading and flashing it.

I'm having trouble getting HWOTA to work... I have tried following the video you posted but it just stops working at the wait for twrp step.... I got past there once, but then when it got to the system update step the update just immediately failed on my phone and I havent been able to get past the twrp step since. I can get into twrp but the hwota doesnt recognize it.

Update: I got it to work... I don't know how or why but it worked! Thank you so much for your help everyone!

Hi, is possible to change region from Huawei P10 Lite WAS-TL10 C636 (4GB/64GB china) region to WAS-LX1A C432 (Europe) region or to any other existing 4GB RAM Europe version ? I'm using a China version WAS-TL10C636 in Europe with no problems on LTE, but I have no 5Ghz dual band WIFI like the European models.
Thanks !

Hi, I have ordered this "Global" P10 lite model from gearbest and received "WAS-TL10."
Spec on gearbest says it have B20 LTE band, but it seem not to have signal from networks using B20. Is your phone working in LTE B20 (800MHz)? My does not have NFC and 5Ghz wifi.
