Hi guys i need a big help
I'll try to explain all but i'm not good in English

i bricked my honor 8 L09

it happened when I tried to restore a twrp backup. Twrp can't continue the restore because "cust" can't be extracted
So i tried to restore the backup deselecting cust part
And this was my error

Bootloop

So i tried:

-restored others backup -FAILED-
-used Huawei eRecovery : "getting Package from server failed" -FAILED-
-flashed roms, aosp and emui based, marshmallow and nougat based: can't flash -FAILED-
-flashed boot.img, system.img, recovery.img nothing worked -FAILED-
-extracted cust.img and flashed via adb folllowing this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/how-restore-cust-partition-t3356769/page2 flashed but nothing works -FAILED-

But now is worse, because i can't get into twrp but only in eRecovery (that doesn't work), and adb flash don't work

What can i do?

Maybe a huawei/honor repair shop can help me?

Is your bootloader is in unlocked state?

i'm assuming you are talking about what you suggested
So I:

-entered in rescuemode
-used the package you linked and flashed twrp via fastboot
-entered in twrp
-tried to wipe but can't wipe and mount nothing
-tried to flash the stock rom linked in your guide but it flash only oeminfo


If u are talking about the guide I linked, I did all steps (my bad, I think that this is the problem, because the modified file in this guide block me from wipe)


EDIT: just tried to flash via fastboot all the .img one for flash but every single time it says "failed. Command not allowed"

Bro go to twrp > advance wipe (all )
If error again reboot again and format data and again advance wipe.
Now flash this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwXB-CJiljwpS1o4UXo5b1JlRjQ/view

After that do a reset and reboot ,you will be successfully unbricked
free to not believe me
i was navigating in twrp for wiping and the phone rebooted for its will
it notified me that the ecryption process (wtf????) was interrupted and he asked to reset the phone
i tapped reset and the phone perfomed the classic wipe and now it works
i'm setting now the first info and i think it's on emui 4.1

idk what happened but now work
will update this reply when i'm sure all works

EDIT: confirmed that is emui 4.1 stock and all works

idk what happened but i'm happy

I'm not interested in locking the bootloader for now
i was interested in obtain root and install viper4android and xposed but for some reason i can't flash recovery via fastboot

But i think that after all of this adventure, i will not mod my phone until i'll buy a new model XD

Thanks for all the help, you saved me 300 euros :p
