Hi all, I am new to the XDA Forums and was just wondering if anyone can help me out with some trouble I'm having with my Huawei Ascend G526-L22.
Over the past few weeks, I have been finding it very hard to gain access to the 16-digit bootloader unlock code (usually Hex). After endlessly contacting Huawei in frustration attempting to gain access to a code that they had supposedly been giving out, I am left with a soft bricked phone.
The reason my phone is soft bricked is because I had become impatient and decided to "Kingo-root" (third party software) my device and it has sent it into a "Boot-loop" (upon boot the Huawei Ascend logo is at an endless standstill with the bottom buttons lighting up after 30 seconds)
I have tried:
- Holding all Buttons (Vol Up+Vol Down+Power) simultaneously for over 2 minutes
- Taken battery out countless times, left it out for 2 minutes inbetween, left Huawei Ascend screen on overnight to drain
- Attempted the 16-digit key in Fastboot (Vol Down+Power) only to find "Unlock Failed! Invalid key!" in the top right of the screen.
- Using DC Locker to try and unlock the phone (Ascend G526 not listed in models)
- Using EmotionUI (online Huawei Unlocking software) to unlock (again, Ascend G526 not listed in models)
- Attempted Update.app via ADB
- Attempted Update.app through external storage (only have 64gb card, phone recognises up to 32gb)
- Wiped cache, wipe data/factory reset countless times in System recovery (Vol Up+ Power) still stuck in "bootloop"
I know that all I need to to is gain access to an unlocked bootloader and I can safely get the device up and running, and I find it truly frustrating that Huawei (even after being claimed to) "can't provide the code because we stopped doing it in 2012".
If anyone has any tips to lead me in the right direction, or even get my phone up and running again (bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked) it would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance,
-Ziggy.
Hi, thank you for Uganda XDA Assist. You most likely need to flash the stock firmware to get your device working again. Unfortunately, I can't find anyway to do that on XDA. See if you can Google that.

My Moto G shows Google & a unlock sign. All attempts to switch it off failed. Its even not going to BootLoader mode. Nothing works. USB too not detecting this. Plese help
You are stuck on the bootloader logo.
That happened to me a while ago. Try pressing volume down + power for like ten seconds, you should be able to enter bootloader mode. It might not work at first (took me a couple of tries) but that's how I eventually managed to access the bootloader menu and restore my phone from stock using mfastboot.
Good luck.
Thank you for your response but I completely new & need some details
I think everything you need to know is in that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
As long as you're able to enter bootloader mode.
I have a problem with my Mate 7-L09, I can’t enter on Recovery or force update through the three buttons method, my bootloader is unlocked.
Battery of my phone isn’t charging.
Anyone can help!

One more explanation of my problem.
I attempted to upgrade from LP to MM the phone ended to bootlop, I then unlock the bootloader and trait the bat method given in a Spanish website in order to wake up the device.
I can’t not install recovery or force install through the three boot method, my device can only enter in fastboot safe mode.
Please answer.
If is this the brain forum than there should be an answer.

Hello,
First, sorry for my poor English.
I need your help on my device Huawei HUAWEI NXT-L29.
Since an attempt to update using dload method on the sd card, I get stuck on the Huawei logo at startup :
- Restart with Vol + and the Power button restarts the phone on the Huawei logo and does not appear to use the dload directory on the sdcard
- Restart with Vol+, Vol- and the Power button also sent me the Huawei logo
- Restart with Vol- and the power button returns me to the fastboot screen.
My phone was not unlocked :
The phone can not be unlocked with dc-unlocker in fastboot mode.
Huawei Support Site asks indefinitely to wait 14 days to get the code.
Should we consider the phone as permanently bricked?
Thank you all for your help.
Hello,i think this happened because you did not put the dload folder into the internal storage of the phone. Your only chance is to enter into recovery mode for a factory reset.

Hi all,
For information, I'm gonna try DC-Phoenix-flash : https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial
I'll keep you informed of my progress...
Hey guys,
it's my first post so please bear with me
I wanted to revert my old Mate 7 TL10 to stock (from Lollipop and TWRP) and downloaded a Lollipop stock firmware. I have done the flashing many times ago, but since this is my old phone and I haven't used it in a while and I somehow believed it was the TL09 (pretty dumb idea) , I downloaded the firmware for TL09 not the TL10. After extracting the boot, system, recovery and cust IMG files, I flashed them via fastboot.
The phone is stuck at huawei logo. None of the button combinations work. After turning off, it turns on again. What I already tried:
-VOL_UP & POWER -> does nothing
-VOL_DN & POWER -> does nothing
-BOTH VOL & POWER -> does nothing
I held the buttons even vor 20s, phone goes not beyond huawei logo. Even with disconnecting the battery to fully power off, the combinations have no effect. The phone is, of course, not beeing recognized by Windows. I didn't try the SD card rescue method, but since I can't enter rescue mode, it won't work I guess. I've read about a method by flashing using testponints but from what I understand, there is no such option with the TL10 right?
Is there anything I can do? Flashing via JTAG or whatever?
Thank you in advance
Hi all,
I need your help.
I've got in my hands a P30 (of a friend) that got stuck at boot last week. According to him the device just switched off and would refuse to boot correctly afterwards. Now the device has no physical damage and he could get the main board replaced under warranty but he has a lot of unsaved pictures on the device that he really wants to recover (even if that means voiding the warranty).
When powering on the device, first i get the "The device has loaded a different operating system" screen, followed by the "ERROR MODE" screen with :
Func NO : 13 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (boot failed in recoveryboot mode)
I can neither get into recovery nor e-recovery mode; all attempts end up at the ERROR MODE page.
The ONLY thing I was able to get working is fastboot mode. I this mode I go get fastboot to work from a PC and access the device. Hi-Suite however does not "find" the device.
Now as the device is not OEM unlocked, i presume that there is not much I can do in fastboot, right?
My friend would even be willing to send the device to a specialised lab (if that exists, for now I couldn't find any) but I am not sure if that would help anyway; I presume that the userdata partition is encrypted.
Any help / suggestions would be highly appreciated, again the main target being to recover the pics and videos from the device.
Thanks a lot.

Hi m8,
First of all, check for an recovery firmware through eRecovery. In order to do that, check my SS bellow (available on EMUI 9.1). Do as it says and let it download + install (if it's entering).
Second, if he has loaded EMUI 10, in order to enter eRecovery, Power OFF your device or Restart it. Then press simultaneously POWER+VOLUME UP and keep them pressed untill you see Huawei on screen. Release the POWER button and keep pressing VOLUME UP untill you are in eRecovery menu, then release button. When in menu, select Update mode, then select eRecovery mode then Update and recover system then Download update and recover. Connect it to Wi-Fi and it should start the update. At the end, it will restart to system.
Report back your result so i might help you if none of these 2 are working

Hi SilviuO,
thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, as mentioned in my initial message I don't have access to eRecovery.

When I try to boot into eRecovery I do get the first screen asking to press Vol+ for 3 seconds but after that I again end up on the Error screen.
Thanks anyway.

Use Fastboot in order to find out what version and cust he has. From my experience with other users (from P30 threads and P30 pro threads), if they had EMUI 10 on top of EMUI 9.1 preload and cust, some of them could acces the EMUI 9.1 eRecovery from where they could enter some safe mode called Emergency backup which got them into system and managed to get connected to PC (see my SS bellow) or their Google account and create a backup of their stuffs.
For how to find out his device and info (what he has on it know), please check this link and use the following commands:
fastboot oem get-build-number
and press enter button
This command checks the version, cust and actual firmware of the phone.
If this still not working, i'm affraid that there is nothing else he could do, just have to use a dload firmware in order to revive his device, but by doing it, it will wipe out his data. Even if Huawei Service Centers change his motherboard, they can't recover his data from his actual motherboard...
Let me know his cust and if he is willing to flash a firmware in order to revive it, BUT with data lost, so i can get you a dload firmware for his phone.

Hi SilviuO,
thanks for your help and sorry for the late feedback. Was out of the office these last days and the device was in the office.
Fastboot gives me the following : 9.1.0.168 (C431)
Thanks
