looks like you have a soft-brick.
Download a Official-Rom, move the Update into the DLOAD-Folder,
go into the original Recovery and let it flash the file.
After this your phone should be starting normally.

I use ROOT WIZARD method....
This happened to me yesterday as well, I was about to restore apps using TB but the phone frooze and then anything made it boot. I don't know how Exactly I solved it but all I did was:
1.- Flash TWRP v3.01
2.- Wipe all the phone, including system, data, cust and internal sd
3.- From within TWRP flashed STock boot and recovery for 118CN FW.
4.- Placed 118CN UPDATE.APP in external sd/dload
5.- from within TWRP still, rebooted the phone to recovery.
6.- The phone started to flash the update from external SD.
7.- It succeded to flash files but couldn't mount /sdcard so I repeated steps above once more
8.- from stock recovery wipe/factory reset
9.- Tried the update again and voila! Phone succeded and booted just fine... Now it's been running with no issues since 2 days
I was running 118CN FW and a test kernel with some "non tested" or unstable features which I think forced the phone to frooze and then the data corruption...

how did you manage to flash the stock boot.img and recovery inside twrp???
huawei
hi thanks how do you flash with trwp? cause i am not that expert please cant use my phone

You must do it through adb.
ahhhh..
sry
but i can't even install a rom by using the adb sideload command..it fails because of "file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": No such file or directory"
what can i do now?
tried to reload the B510..
should i try with a custom ROM?

Flash through adb stock recovery. Extract your sdcard, create on it dload folder using your PC/Laptop. In dload folder put the update.app of the ROM you want and insert back in the device the sdcard. Press volume up + volume down + power button until the HUAWEI logo appears, after that release all the buttons and the phone will start to update the firmware.
Thanks beyond..
Got it finally again..
But it was very tricky..
Had to usw the b507 by reyncla (thanks for sharing)..
I let this for now in my phone..
I tried the Method you mentioned..but i could not reach the phone by ADB directly (in twrp via ADB sideload it worked finally)..
Thanks for answering..maybe i switch sometime back to the b510 or to the official release (when it comes)..

Great. Enjoy.
Hi,
Probably after select something wrong in TouchRecoveryInstaller-v1_01 i cant start my phone any more.
- PC don't recognize usb via cable
- sd card not detected (apply update from external storage) appears ../ (E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file of directory).
- wipe data/factory rese - does not help.
- reboot system now - blocks on logo HUAWEI Ascend
Each expert suggestion and idea is welcome and thank you.
Hello,
I'm looking for help as I have exhausted all of my search on google and xda developers and the answer doesn't seem to be there. I'm afraid I might be unable to get out of this one.
I have a huawei ascend P6-U06 I bought it and it came with the international firmware, I had rooted it and flashed miui v5 into my phone, everything was fine but one thing, I was unable to use themer, so about 3 days ago I finally decided to flash omni rom.
I downloaded omni rom and installed CWM recovery and once into the system I selected the zip from my sd card and flashed it, only to find that the phone would not go pass the first screen (stuck in boot and could not be shutdown or anything)
Since I did not do a TWRP recovery (and I don't know how, I'm just a beginner) I was unable to do anything other than the "3 button method" so I looked and found that I could put the UPDATE.APP file on the dload folder and it should work, so I tried it and the UPDATE.APP firmware version is the B125, all good I think this was the Chinese version but it had English and other languages as well, but Chinese seemed to be the main one.
Anyways I had the phone back and it did an update, after the update everything was working fine, I deleted the dload file from the sd card, also I saw that the "system" or the phone itself created a dload file on the internal storage but then once I had themer on the phone I saw myself that I hated the emotion ui and in the first place that was the reason I had put miui into my phone, I still wanted to try omni rom and persistently I tried a second time.
Now this time since I already new that I could just do the dload thingy I thought (what could happen) so I tried again with CWM to flash the omni rom (the latest version) but it gave me an error saying something like the installation was aborted or something like that.
So I went back to having the phone stuck in boot, I put the B125 UPDATE.APP and created a dload folder on the sd card, but when doing the "3 button method" the system gave me an error, I tried downloading the B122 and the B132 and also the B510 but although I have put the UPDATE.APP on the dload folder it just doesn't do it's magic like it previously did.
Now I don't really have money to buy another phone, if I did I would just buy another one (I like the p7) but I don't so I need to fix this issue otherwise I don't have a phone.
Please help me, I'd appreciate if you can do your best explaining as I'm dumb in this matter, (just a beginner as said before) Also I'm attaching a picture of the error message being received when entering the system recovery through the "3 button method"
Thanks for all of your time, I DO appreciate your help and if you have any questions please just ask! I really need to fix this!

So first of all DON'T ever use CWM on our phone because its not really good to use! Always use TWRP.
Than second when you want to install a KK ROM like OMNI you have to update first via update.app to a KK firmware, then install TWRP and so on. This is all described in the first post in the OMNI thread.
Third and this is your problem now you have an modified build.prop in your ROM so the recovery will not update you have to push an stock unmodified build.prop via fastboot, that's the only method I think. How to push that with fastboot there you will find something on google.
Good luck

hi there. try to boot with adb shell in fastboot mode.
if you have b111,125,132,118 etc you need twrp for jelly bean.
after that install twrp recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik.
then reinstall stock recovery also via fastboot and then you can install update.app from dload.
if you want omni you have to update to official b510 because it repartitions your device, then flash omni via twrp.
don't use cwm again

Hey thank you for the quick response, could you send me a link with the steps? as I said before I'm really just a beginner so I don't understand much, I mean I don't know what adb shell is, and how to enter the fastboot mode. I'd appreciate if you could help me with that!
Thanks

sorry for the late response, i've been very busy.
you must have hisuite installed because you need the drivers.
so first you have to put your phone in download mode. you do this by starting your phone with vol down pressed. (it will remain on the ascend logo) and in windows you should see a quick removable device.
you need twrp recovery for jelly bean from here (the twrp2.6.x.x. IMG file ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534420
put the downloaded twrp2.6.3.3.img file in the folder which you'll extract from the attached zip of this post
in the fastboot folder shif+right click - start command windows here
type adb reboot bootloader - it will start the service then display error device not founde
type fastboot flash recovery "and the nameof the recovery ex. twrp2.6.3.3.img" - it should sai ok
safely remove device from windows and reboot your phone.
then you should be able to boot in twrp and clear system, data, cache, dalvik cache. this will let your phone without an operating system so either you install a custom jelly bean or put via twrp the stock recovery back (you cand find on the same page linked above) and then install stock jelly bean via dload folder.
P.S. from what I see in your screenshot, did you put an update.zip in hwouc folder on sdcard? hwouc is the folder where phone saves updates downloaded via ota then installs them from recovery.
are you sure you put update.APP in dload folder?
hope I helped

Hey, I was trying to follow the instructions, but somehow this is not working, I mean the hisuite is stock searching the drivers and once I type adb reboot bootloader it just says not found. but doesn't do anything.
As for the screenshot I found it online, it's the closest thing to the error presented, but I did put the UPDATE.APP on the dload folder
The error I get first it gives me some sort of error which disappears once the Android system recovery menu comes up. then the only thing I'm able to see says:
Checking Module MD5RSA.. OK
Checking Module CRC.... OK
Checking Module CURVER.... OK
Checking Module VERLIST....
Huawei SD card update fail.....

I have a question, could it have something to do with the drivers not being installed? I mean I installed the hi-suite but it never installed the drivers, so I'm wondering if that could be the reason, or could it be due to the phone not booting and not having TWRP?

If it says device not found it means adb started but cannot find device.
It is ok because in download mode you cannot enable usb debugging so that adb sees it but if you type to flash the twrp.img it should work. At least on mine it did
Be sure you started phone in download mode by powering it on with vol down pressed. Press it longer just to be sure

Hello !
Please follow this steps from here !
Because adb not working, you can put your device in bootloader mode manually : press and keep at the same time for about 10~15 sec. power button and volume down , now your device are in bootloader mode and you can use "fastboot" command to flash stock/twrp recovery !
If your device was on Android JB you must use stock/twrp forAndroid JB, else if your device was on Android KitKat you must use stock/twrp for Android KitKat .
The next time when you want to flash something in your device please do your research more - because here on XDA you have almost all the answers to every question - sure, you need to spend some time to read - and not ultimately you can ask , if you are not 100% sure what to do
Good luck !

I'm going to give it a try. thanks!
Long story short, I installed CWM and then downloaded one of the ROMS from this site.
It failed and now the phone is constantly stuck on the Huawei Logo.
I have put what i believe to be an official rom (B510.zip) on my sd card and booted into recovery using the power on and + volume.
I have then tried to install it but receive an error:
Status 7 failed to stat "/system/build.prop" No such file or directory
Installation aborted.
Please can anyone help?

Hello !
Sorry to say, you have a duty to be informed, before take the actions on your device
Now is to late, but next time, take time to documenting yourself to avoid any issues .
First, here is no working CWM for our P6 - you must use TWRP .
Second , if you have already a custom recovery installed on your device, you cannot flash a Stock Huawei Firmware !
On Generals or Q&A forum for P6 you will find all you need .
Best regards !

Hindsight is a great thing, but of course this does not fix my problem.
I have managed to connect to the phone via fastboot. I have downloaded what I believe to be a stock rom and tried to flash the boot.img: fastboot flash boot boot.img
FAILED (remote: partition does not exist)
I have also tried to flash system.img: fastboot flash system system.img
FAILED (remote: data too large)
Do you have a fix for this?
I have found a fix
Okay,
So I have actually found a fix for this problem.
If any user is facing the same problem as me; where they are just stuck on the huawei logo here is my fix:
Put the phone into fastboot mode: Power and Volume down (the phone has to be connected via USB)
Open fastboot: fastboot devices (this checks that the device is connected)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (I go this by downloading the stock rom from huawei's site and then extracted the recovery.img using the huawei update extractor).
The reason I had to reflash the recovery was because it was corrupt and I could not access it.
Finally, once this was complete, I then took out the sd card from the phone, made a folder within it called dloader and put in the UPDATE.APP from the extracted zip rom file (downloaded from huawei's site) )
I then turned the phone off and then loaded into recovery mode. This mode automatically then looks for the dloader folder, in which it located the UPDATE.APP.
The install then began, and after about 10 minutes the phone was no longer SOFT Bricked.
I have a Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) with the latest WW firmware (2.20.40.97) which is obviously causing trouble with my phone. I want to revert back to the older firmware version (2.20.40.90 or even 2.20.40.63).
Is something like that possible on my phone? I've tried every resource that I could find online and nothing seems to work. It's not rooted - it's as is from the shop just with the latest update. I've tried sideloading but that obviously works only when updating firmware not downgrading. I've tried downloading recovery images and using fastboot to flash them but nothing happens.
So I ask again is it possible to downgrade stock firmware and if yes are there reliable tested instructions on how to do it?
Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596 and follow the steps of root method 1 (pre-rooted image) to flash boot, droidboot and recovery images for the firmware version you want to revert to. However, DON'T download and flash the pre-rooted system image. Instead download the full firmware zip from ASUS, rename it as MOFD_SDUPDATE and place it on your external SD card. Erase your data and then boot back into the bootloader and then recovery mode. It should then install the firmware from your SD card.

Thanks for the info! However I need help with the last part. I have no problem following up to the part about sending fastboot flash commands but what exactly does "Erase your data" mean? After I send the fastboot commands I am still in the bootloader screen. Do I proceed perhaps to the recovery mode to wipe/erase the cache? I am also wondering is it enough to just put the MOFD_SDUPDATE file in the root of the SD card? And do I need an unlocked bootloader to perform all these actions?
I understand that these questions might seem a bit noobish to experienced Android hackers but my experience on that field is limited to just doing one "unofficial" upgrade of my Nexus 4 to Lollipop so I would be grateful for any help.
EDIT: It seems I managed to figure out the correct order of things however when I reboot to bootloader I get the following error.
Code:
E:file path:/sdcard/MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
E:failed to map file
SD installation aborted.
EDIT 2: It was actually an error on my end. I had my Windows set in a way to display file extensions so I accidentally named the file MOFD_SDUPDATE instead of MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. Renaming the file did the trick.
I had to make a separate post just to thank you kanagawaben. Thanks! You are a life saver :victory: I've managed to successfully revert my phone to stock 2.20.40.90.
The best part is it resolves an issue with the proximity sensor which was obviously introduced with 2.20.40.97 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/proximity-sensor-inconsistently-t3224700/)
Hello,
i just unlocked bootloader and installed twrp and it all went fine..
until i wanted to fully wipe my device, i did this via twrp.
after 20Minuts, nothing happend, the bar was still white and gray (not even a little bit blue)
and it kept stuck on ''twrp formatting data using make_ext4fs function''.
i knew this wasn't a good idea, but i decided to turn off my phone,
and now, everytime when i turn it on on the normal way it just redirrects me to TeamWin in a bootloop.
even if i want to go to recovery mode i keep stuck in that bootloop, so there is nothing i can do right now, i only can stick at Fastboot Mode but nothing else,
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Using ASUS ZENFONE 2 551ML
I hope you did a backup of your system before? Otherwise just download the latest full image:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.174-user.zip
place it on your internal sdcard (via adb push) and then flash it normally with TWRP. Please note that the procedure can take up to 30 minutes, where the formatting is the procedure taking the longest time...

but i cant use twrp on my phone because its stuck in bootloop, or what do you mean? (english not my main language)
please give me some proper step by step instructions, i would really apreciate that!
thanks anyway your awesome!
Man, I misread your post, sorry...I thought you could boot only into twrp
If you still have fastboot, why not flashing twrp 2.8.x.x?
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Fastboot reboot recovery
Otherwise you could flash stock system with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
It's a lot to read
wow, that is something really helpfull, there is still hope to revive my phone

Seems you don't have a WW image installed, do you have a CN Software? Then you need another Software of course
what do you mean with ww & cn software?
sorry but im new in this.. but im really interested so can you please explain a little bit?
how can i get this other software! thanks!!!
Where did you buy your Phone? what does the packaging state? WW, CN, TW, etc? These 2 letters must be written in uppercase somewhere, then we will know which software to flash, there is a check where your phone's software is compared to the zip you are trying to flash:
assert failed: getprop ("ro.build.asus.sku") == ''WW''
Which TWRP did you flash?
ohhh yes, i do have CN software Probably, as it is buyed from china.
Where can i find this other type software?
thanks!

There you go: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-CN-2.20.40.159-user.zip
I think flashing will still fail though...but pls try first,maybe it'll work
i tryed it, i get the same error :/
Update: i changed from CN to WW.
Because of this i reflashed to twrp 3.0 and it works properly and now wiping shows no problem anymore.
I also got the WW ota zip but dont know how to install that.
Anyway, i tryed to install xaosp rom (even if my ota is still CN)
And it showed no problems at all!
BUT when i tryed to startup my phone it sticks with the asus logo and wont go any further, not a bootloop, it just sticks at the asus logo.
We are Always getting more and more steps further into fixing my phone, thanks for that @TheSSJ were almost there ?

You could try flashing cm13 first and then xosp:
First wipe data/cache
Then flash cm13
Boot up and hope that it works
Reboot to recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash xosp and maybe a kernel that fits (FlareM?)
Boot to system again
