Phone stuck on boot animation, won't sideload

I unrooted phone to update to Android 5.0.1
Wiped data & cache and tried to reboot but phone won't load past boot animation
I have tried everything I can find online. Phone appears in Device Manager as Android Device, but does not connect to PC when in command prompt.
adb devices shows no devices
when I start phone in fastboot, then recovery mode, I can select to install a file via ADB
when I choose this, and run adb devices in command prompt, it then shows a sideload device
but when I go to load a file, it gives me the same error every time:
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
Is there anything I can do? Please help! Thanks.

What recovery have you got and what file are you sideloading?

All you have to do is restart the phone in bootloader and make a fresh install of factory image via fastboot.

I'm not sure unfortunately... Is that something I can find out from the Fastboot menu?
I was trying to sideload a factory image 5.0 or 5.0.1

You can't sideload a factory image. You must use fastboot.

How can I make my Acer read Nexus 5 to install factory image via command prompt?
It comes up in Device Manager, driver seems to be installed fine, as Android Device but does not connect properly (no devices listed in "adb devices")

You use fastboot in bootloader if you want to use factory images.
Read the following 2 threads in general > sticky roll-up
- adb and fastboot
- flashing factory images / save your nexus

Oh okay, my bad. Do I have any options to sideload anything, or is there a way to make phone connect for fastboot? Again, it's visible in Device Manager w/drivers, but not in command prompt. Thank you
will try above suggestions and report back

After downloading the recommended Driver file from adb and fastboot thread, I unzip it to a folder and attempt to install in Device Manager. I get error saying "the hash for the file is not present in the specified file log..."

Yes uninstalled drivers through Device Manager & did the restart through the settings as outlined there.
Will try to download google usb driver from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top
Edit: this driver installed correctly. Device now appears in device manager as Android Bootloader Interface (phone is at Fastboot screen)

Wow thank you, your thread suggestion was exactly what I needed. I did not know the difference between ADB & Fastboot.
Silly mistake but one that I couldn't solve through several hours of internet searches yesterday. Thanks for your time and insight, have a great day

Update to Lollipop 5.1 [No Root/No Wipe/No Flashing/No Custom Recovery NEEDED !!!]

Hi,
Its been a long time since I got my nexus5 and decided not to do anything with it (root/flashing). I waited for Lollipop 5.0 & 5.0.1 OTA to reach my device. BUT, I couldn't wait until Lollipop 5.1 hit OTA to my device. So I decided to ahead and get that.
I didn't want to Wipe all data OR Root OR Flash custom ROMS OR Unlock the Bootloader (which anyways wipe all data). So, I read & searched for a way to get 5.1 OTA files installed. voila !! I found a way (most of u guys will know this. But thought would be great to share with you. ) adb & Sideload
First I downloaded the drivers & the latest Android SDK (Android Studio)
Then, Downloaded the appropriate OTA Image file & move it into Platform-Tools Folder. (have to match with current Build Number LRX22C/LRX210)
Enabled USB Debugging
Connect the device to PC
Checked if adb is running OK (*The best place to open a command prompt is from within the Platform-Tools in the SDK. Open command prompt as Administrator”)
type : adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should get a serial number followed by “device.”
015d182f9a0aac28 device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot to the Bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use Volume Down on your device to until you see “Recovery.”
Select it with the Power button.
Your device will boot to an Android logo with a exclamation mark.
To jump past this, press Volume Up and Power at the same time.
You will now be in stock recovery.
With Volume Down, highlight “apply update from ADB.” Press Power to choose it.
Back to your PC, type the following command:
adb sideload <filename of update.zip>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If your adb is working properly, you should see the file transfer to your device in adb.
Once that finishes, your device will begin to update.
Once it has finished, simply reboot and enjoy the update.

Well.. yeah... this is how sideloading is done with stock recovery.
Thanks anyways

Im running Win 8.1 and my pc does not recognize the phone as soon as it enters recovery and I can therefore not sideload the file. . Any trick to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Pls look into this guide.
Hope it helps

Isn't the sideload option in stock recovery (long time since I have seen it).
Seems you could just download it to your phone, enter stock recovery and sideload from there.

I get message "You need to have ADB version 1.0.32 or newer to sideload this device".
Found v32 online, downloaded, unzipped, put OTA file in that folder, followed your guide and boom, I`m now on 5.1 !!!!! I was so fed up waiting for Google to push 5.1 on my Nexus 5, but now I have it.
Thank you so much for such an easy tutorial.

I get ERROR: DEVICE OFFLINE

(soft)bricked my device. Is there a fix?

Hi all,
I installed the TWRP recovery for my mate 7 - 09 version, with lollipop 5.1. But then I unknowingly wiped something I shouldn't have: I think it was the system folder. No backups were made
My phone keeps starting up to the huawei logo and then reboots\turns off. I can get into fastboot&rescue mode, but that's it. No recovery, no 3-button fix (as far as I know).
The second problem is that I cannot get my device to be recognised by my pc. adb devices doesn't give me any results.
I don't feel like I can install the drivers properly as well. Pherhaps thats the problem? How can I do this? I have a driversetup from a mate7 download, but double clicking it doesnt show any prompts.
Anyone who can help me in any way is more than welcome!

Hey Buddy, here's what you can try to do:
1.) Boot connect your phone to your computer.
2.) Next, boot your phone to fastboot.
3.) Next, open command prompt from the folder where your ADB files are stored.
4.)On CMD type:
fastboot devices
5.) If your device appears then you have 2 options now. You can either:
a.) Flash Stock recovery.img or
b.) Flash back TWRP
6.) If choosing option a.) you can then save stock firmware within dload folder on your external sd card then force upgrade via 3 btn method.
7.) If choosing option b.) you can boot to twrp then either sideload a custom rom or try to save on your external sd and flash

I'll give that a try, thank you. With step 1, you just mean: connect the phone through usb to the computer, right?
When I rooted the phone, I did so on my work laptop, so I am hoping I can get it recognised there, but lets see what happens at home.
EDIT:
Ok, i've typed in fastboot devices, and it gave me one line with a 16-digit code (numbers and letters) some white space and then the word fastboot. What does that mean?

That should meen it recognizes your phone in fastboot mode. Next step is to flash as stated in step 5 that in the instructions.

EDIT AGAIN:
Ok, this is what I did. I downloaded the well known mate7 package, extracted the b119 tools folder and I put the twrp_2.8.7.0_mate7_5.1.img file from this forum (the TWRP for 5.1) inside this folder.
Then, I open cmd inside the folder, and I typed: fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.0_mate7_5.1.img. This is what happens:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery'(12644 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.302s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.455s]
finished. total time: 1.756s
Now, I finally managed to get back into TWRP! I've only got 2% battery though (but I see a + which I think means charging...EDIT: yes, it is on 3% now. Better leave it like this...).
It tells me this:
TWRP has detected an unmodified system partition.
TWRP can leave your system partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. TWRP will be unable to prevent the stock rom from replacing TWRP and will not offer to root your device. Installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition.
I decided to swipe, to allow modifications.
So, I've got twrp back! For lollipop. This probably means I have to flash the lollipop rom? I will download the update.zip file next and put it on my sd card (using my pc and a microsd adapter...)
Keep you posted!

Ok, this is not working.
I put update.zip on my sd-card, and tried to install it. This is what I get:
Installing 'sd-ext/update.zip'...

I tried to sideload but on my pc I get:

And on my TWRP I get:

EDIT:
Updated my adb to 1.0.32 for windows, and rebooted everything. Now i'm at 6% of sideload. Hoping this will work!

I don't advise you to flash lollipop firmware first. It's more prudent to go back to kitkat first as I believe Lollipop needs kitkat as base
1.) Put stock kitkat update.app on dload folder of your memory card. Also make sure you have the LO9 stock kitkat recovery.
2.) With your phone connected to pc, go to twrp and reboot to bootloader.
3.) Once on bootloader open cmd on your tools folder then fastboot flash the stock kitkat recovery.
4.) Once done, fastboot reboot then force upgrade to install stock firmware.
5.) Once you have stock kitkat follow the drill to reach lollipop

Hi, thank you for your advice. I have but one question remaining: what stock kitkat update should I use? And where can I find the right recovery that goes with it?
I've tried several recovery_stock.img I found, and it does take away TWRP, so it might have done the trick. Only problem is that I cannot force upgrade to install whats on my sd-card....The phone keeps turning on (after a long push) and after seeing the logo for a little while, it turns off (short vibration)... Is there another way?

You should flash B137SP03 firmware. You can also refer to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/5-1-to-4-4-2-bootloop-t3132888
1.)Prepare the Stock B137SP03 firmware on your SD card
2.)Download the fastboot.zip guide and extract it to a separate folder.
3.) next connect your phone to your computer and go to fastboot mode.
4.) Flash the boot.img and recovery.img you find on that guide.
5.) Once done, do the force upgrade with the B137 firmware.

I've followed the guide you are reffering to. And I flashed the boot and recovery, and managed to get the roll back force installed. But for the life of me, I cannot get my phone to force install the B137 zip. I just can't get into force install mode. Are there tips or tricks? I am holding power up and down, and then press power untill I feel a short vibration. But all it does it show me the huawei logo screen and then shuts down again.
Very frustrating!
EDIT:
ok, I noticed that when my sd-card is not inserted, the phone easily boots into the force install mode. It shows the logo for a couple of seconds, screen goes black and then the force install loads. So this is what I did: insert the sd card half way, press vol up and down, and power on. Then after the logo when the screen goes black, insert the sd-card all the way and when the phone goes to force install mode, it can find the update!
Now installing.... hope this helps someone else out there!

Worked! And I am up and running again! Thank you for saving my mate

I got my Mate bricked and i've been trying to figure out how to solve it. I tried lots of things from different guides, but just an hour ago I found this guide and it worked! I can't tell you how happy I am right now, thanks guys!

Glad to hear both of you guys have your mates up and running again. As long as a phone turns on and is not dead as a brick there's always hope it can be restored

Hi everyone, I have the same problem with my mate 7, i was messing with unlocking bootloader(which I succesfully have done), couldn't get my phone rooted so installed TWRP recovery for Lollipop(which was already installed when i bought the phone). Ended up with soft bricked phone(no OS, no recovery at all).
I tried different tutorials how to fix it, none of them worked(including that one unfortunatelly).
I have taken some pictures to show you what the problem is but cannot post them until reach 10 posts on forum
Basically, i can get into fastboot mode by holding volume down with power button. Windows and Hisuite don't recognise my device but in fastboot mode i can check devices connected. Typing "fastboot devices" i get "P6Q7M14A15008421 fastboot", which i guess is my device indeed.
After that i try flashing boot.img and recovery.img(which are reported OK). Then rebooting with 3 button(vol up and down, power) and Huawei logo screen appears for a bit and goes into white screen saying "rescue mode" and at the bottom: "Error Func NO: 10(FUNC_BOOT_RECOVERY) Error NO:2". Trying rebooting into recovery mode(vol up and power) it shows similar "recovery mode" screen but with different errors: "Error! Func NO:12(FUNC_LOAD_IOM3) Error NO:1".
That's it! It seems like i cannot flash my device successfully for some reason. What Windows version did you guys use?? I tried Win 8.0 and Win 10, maybe i should use older systems? Please help, i had my phone for a week only and broke it(

I can't help you much because I don't have enough knowledge about these kind of things.. I use Windows 7 and from my previous experiences I can say that working with Windows 8 can be frustrating. PS. I bricked my Mate 12hrs after buying it

That's it! It seems like i cannot flash my device successfully for some reason. What Windows version did you guys use?? I tried Win 8.0 and Win 10, maybe i should use older systems? Please help, i had my phone for a week only and broke it(

Sounds like the wrong boot.img or recovery.img has been flashed. May I know what Mate 7 model you have and which Lollipop firmwre version your phone came last with?
Try to obtain boot.img and revoery.img for your lollipop version then flash that via fastboot

My phone mt7-09l, european version 16gb. Came with lollipop 5.1 when I bought it but I think I have formatted it via twrp recovery so it shouldn't matter what boot and recovery version I am trying to flash, should it? I'll extract boot and recovery from b308 today andtry that, see if this works. If not, only thing I can try is using win7 and that's it really, no more possibilities

I've followed the guide you are reffering to. And I flashed the boot and recovery, and managed to get the roll back force installed. But for the life of me, I cannot get my phone to force install the B137 zip. I just can't get into force install mode. Are there tips or tricks? I am holding power up and down, and then press power untill I feel a short vibration. But all it does it show me the huawei logo screen and then shuts down again.
Very frustrating!
EDIT:
ok, I noticed that when my sd-card is not inserted, the phone easily boots into the force install mode. It shows the logo for a couple of seconds, screen goes black and then the force install loads. So this is what I did: insert the sd card half way, press vol up and down, and power on. Then after the logo when the screen goes black, insert the sd-card all the way and when the phone goes to force install mode, it can find the update!
Now installing.... hope this helps someone else out there!

I'm stuck on this stage, no errors while flashing but no boot either. Shows logo then like a spark a bit of music and animation (1 sec maybe) and reboot, so on and on and on...

If you were on Lollipop when everything went sour, you should do what I did, thanks to advice from @blitzkriegger:
You should flash B137SP03 firmware. You can also refer to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate...tloop-t3132888
1.)Prepare the Stock B137SP03 firmware on your SD card
2.)Download the fastboot.zip guide and extract it to a separate folder.
3.) next connect your phone to your computer and go to fastboot mode.
4.) Flash the boot.img and recovery.img you find on that guide.
5.) Once done, do the force upgrade with the B137 firmware.
I used the full steps from the link in there: flashed the right boot and recovery through fastboot. Then I flashed the rollback zip from my sd-card, and then I flashed the B137 zip from my sd-card. I can't tell you more about it, obviously

Been there, done that. Very frustrating! I've tried several things, none of which are probably the right way, but they worked for me. sometimes....
Can you get into stock recovery (vol+ and power)? What I tried several times was wipe cache, and then hold the powerbutton untill my phone turned off. That worked occasionally to get the device totally turned off. Then try to get to force update with your sd-card half way in, and flip it in totally when the logo dissapears and the screen is black. I also tried to shut down the constant starting up by going into fastboot/recovery mode and then holding power down. As long as it takes. Good luck! And hopefully someone can give you proper advice...

Hit "Thanks" if found this thread helpful....​

Thanks for the solution...... it works well !!
Though my yuphoria was working perfectly fine, i wanted to factory reset my mobile for some reasons, which i was not able to do. Both soft and hard custom recovery options were not working (no recovery screen pop up, mobile boots and stuck at YU logo ), tried your solution and it worked.
Just one input for new users like me, where you have asked users to install adb drivers, i tried that part but on running the bat file, the device was not detected, hence had to add yuphoria device drivers from their official site, i am not able to paste the link here but file name is YUPHORIA_drivers-v1.0.zip, also USB debugging option needs to be turned on in developer option for this solution to work.
Rest all steps work exact as you explained.

Yup bro its difficult to set bootloader driver for yuphoria. But you can install it manually. But always remember to "disable driver signature verification" before installation and i will update the derivers link for manual installation if you message me the link.

will this work on unlocked bootloader

"yup"... it will work. There is nothing to do with boot loader. It will flash the stock rom and boot-loader will get locked again. You have to unlock the boot-loader again if you want to flash custom rom again.

And i will get the official ota updates from YU as well ?

yep bro.. you will get the updates and i don't think you know that, there are no restrictions for unlocking/locking boot-loader of YU mobile. I mean the warranty not void if you unlock the boot-loader.

Thnx a lot bro and yeah i knw that ... Actually i'm gonna start installing roms so in case if it goes wrong i just a needed reliable method to get back on stock company's software ....
Thnx again bro

its reliable bro and worked for me when i screwed my phone. But note one thing that you should have installed the adb drivers properly on your computer. Anyway if u screwed up don't hesitate to discuss here.

When i start the flashall.bat the phone restarts and stuck back at the cyanogen logo..!

Is driver properly installed? Or retry to download setup again if you have done right then
1. boot into bootloader
2. run bat file it will take some time. If all goes well then it will say about relocking of boot-loader.
3. seletct yes and restart.
4. you will see yu logo and it will take 10-15 minutes to load so stay calm! If it doesn't load then try again.

You can flash nothing in CM recovery you need a new recovery.
If you're on stock ROM use this method
Download this file HERE.
Extract the the file in your computer and open the cmd in the folder by pressing shift+LMB and write the code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
important:connect your phone to the computer in fastboot holding the vol+ and connect it.
Now you can press entre you have now CWM recovery .
Boot to recovery and flash CM12 then make a factory reset and boot to system .
If you're using a Lollipop ROM use this method
Just install this app here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/app-recoveries-recovery-installer-t3187914
And give root then flash TWRP .
NOW you can install whatever you want:silly:

ok! but i cant understand "open the cmd in the folder by pressing shift+LMB"! i'm sorry. i'm a biginner! this question may seem so simple! but confusing for me
i can start cmd from the "run" in start button of win7. but it says, "fastboot" command seems meaningless!
I understand the mistake I made. booting started. and give this error:
FAILED <remote: command not allowed>
what is the problem?

Where did you get this error, while flashing?
Edit: if you have problems flashing via fastbooy there's easier method go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/cwm-recovery-installer-t2589320
And download the recovery installer on your computer and install CWM on your phone then you can flash CM12
Important make sure that your bootloader is unlocked

thanks so much. that worked.
after unlocking the bootloader, I used flashtool and flash in fastboot mode, without any error. but when phone rebooted went to cyanogenmod recovery menu! I choose to update via sd! and all thing were going OK. unfortunately, it failed! the error said that "this update is for c2105, c2104, taoshan, but your phone is." It seems it cant recognize my phone is c2105!
why this error ocured, and what should I do!
again thanks for your good solutions.
