When you tried to flash twrp had you already unlocked the boot loader?
The boot loader must be unlocked prior to the installation of any costume recovery.

yes it was , still is, well i wanted to make sure we were are on the same page is that the same as having device unlocked?

Any suggestions

If you can't get into the boot loader or fastboot, I'm sorry to say you are hard bricked.
Did you wipe from the boot loader at some point before?
Your best options are to send it to Asus with RMA for repair or sell it for parts on eBay.

BTW a vol down and power boot does nothing?

Hold down thepowerbutton and the low volume buttons at the same time, tell us what happens . You must hold them down for almosrt 8 seconds.

i sent it off to asus rma department, guess they told me my warranty is now void and would need to pay for a the labor and a new motherboard, i tried everything over and over. i even let it keep restarting itself overnight and it still didnt do anything, i read someplace it is fixable if only i had a linux based os

i cna get into apx mode i dont know if that helps and i have tried to download the wsg unbricker tool but that doesnt seem to work either i need to learn how to push recovery onto it. i went went from it automatically restarting to it being stuck on asus boot screen, can somebody lead me into the right direction, all your time and effort is and will be greatly apprectiated

[Q] Possible to access data on phone without entering PIN (display broken)

Hey everyone,
my girlfriend called me 2 mins ago, saying she got problems with her OPO. She said her phone wasnt responding so she hold the power button long for hard poweroff. Then when the phone restarted she came to that point where you have to enter your SIM Pin but wasnt able to enter numbers on the left side of the display, numbers in the middle or the right would work. She said she then recognized that the display was "slightly broken" on the left (so i think no spyder app by now ). I dont know how much everything is messed up until i see the phone this evening.
Well, that was the story, now my questions. If im not able to enter the correct pin, is there still any way to backup her data of the phone? Maybe through recovery? On my OPO i got TWRP but hers still stock. Any other ideas?
Would be really thankfull for any hint!!!!
edit: In fact i dont know if PIN blocks data access just assumed it

It doesn't in recovery since the function happens before the OS is loaded.
Install TWRP, or do a back up through stock recovery ( no idea if that function exists though in stock ), then factory reset in recovery, it will erase everything but give you access to the phone again....The backup will copy your protection settings , so that won't really help you if you re-apply it....
Maybe someone as a better idea, just going with what i know. Read once that you could connect a mouse to the phone, maybe that could help, you will have to dig around here to find info on that though, i have no idea where it is.

thx for your answer but if im not wrong its not possible to install twrp without wiping all the data because at the moment the bootloader is locked.

OK so like i said try to find info on the mouse thing, or full factory reset through stock recovery, it will give you access back to the phone by whipping everything.... I don't see any other choices.

well as i wanted to save everything wiping wasnt an option
(for what would i need access to the phone other then gaining the data?!)
but the tip with the mouse was perfect and simple as fcuk just connected the mouse with an OTG adapter to the phone and was able to unlock screenlock and remove it, then copy all data to PC.
Now the OPO is ready to get repaired
thx!

OnePlus One Screen Problems

So I have OnePlus One screen problems. First I dropped it and the screen cracked, so I had it replaced. After it got replaced I now have it back, but before screen worked and touch didn't, and now touch works and screen doesn't. The screen doesn't turn on at all, but when it is plugged in I know it is turned on and I can browse through the filesystem of the OnePlus One via my computer and also when I swipe I can hear the unlocking sound. However, data, WiFi and ADB is disabled so I can't get into there. However, saying Ok Google I can hear the response it gives me so I tried calling a friend but the call never went through. It's running CyanogenMod 12S with TWRP and Xposed flashed if that helps any. I did try following the guide using ColorOS to restore it as if it's hard bricked, but since it never seems to boot into fastboot (spamming fastboot devices in cmd never shows anything) I can't seem to do anything. I tried this on both of my computers running Windows 7, and it never shows up in fastboot, so I don't know which COM port it is to finish the guide, because it wouldn't show up abnormally. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the phone into fastboot? Thank you all so much! Also I don't really have any pictures or videos because I don't have another phone/camera to take them with. Sorry!

Update: I was able to get it into fastboot by getting it into recovery and then typing adb reboot bootloader, but that's about the extent of it. I have Bacon Root Toolkit and stuff and I'm willing to wipe my phone (because there isn't anything that I don't have a backup of) but all I really want is a solution to fix it. It did show up a few times as QHSUSB_BULK (twice, actually) but it also seems to be working, because if I take a screenshot, then reboot to recovery, I can pull the screenshot from the memory to my computer. For some reason the phone isn't showing up at all except in fastboot and recovery now.

I had the same issue with my OPO on Exodus, what I did was I pressed the power button to open the screen then unlocked the screen like usual and then brought the notification bar down and change the brightness by pressing on auto brightness button multiple times and in this whole process my screen was black then I successfully turned on my phone's screen. It also work if you just reboot the phone.

Also this issue was in the ROM itself and it was fixed in an update.

Back to Stock help please

I want to put my phone back to factory, as it was out of the box. I have done a few things but when it starts up, the keyboard is missing and all the stock Apps are missing.
Can someone provide me with a step by step guide on how to put it back to stock Android 7.0
Cheers

what i did was reboot to recovery (twrp) if you can somehow, and plug in to computer and use adb to reboot to bootloader. adb reboot bootloader
from there i hold down power and volume up (keep plugged in to computer). It should boot to stock recovery and you can connect the phone to wifi and download stock.
I was on Lineage and it was working great I just wanted to go back to stock 5.0 emui. This worked for me after I screwed around for a day trying to figure out how to get back and I sort of stumbled into it.
It was stuck on the blue Honor Screen immediately after for the first boot forever so i actually held down power + Volume down I think until it rebooted then immediatley Power Button + volume up and factory reset it again. This did it and booted it up back to 5.0.
the only thing is my bootloader is still unlocked. Back on emui 4 this sort of method would lock it up as well as unroot and put everything back to stock but it doesnt lock the bootloader back up at least on mine. hope this helps sorry if my directions suck this is my first time posting.

For me, when I try to download from the recovery screen it comes up with an error and won't download.

That is my problem, too. Didn't find any workaround for it yet and would also be interested!

I am on the US l04 version maybe yours is a different model and uses a different method?
Really difficult to find 100% sure fire answers at least for me with this particular device so I just started to be my own guinea pig and test out things on my own. I also was able to lock my bootloader back by using this command
fastboot oem relock [unlock code i received from honor site]

I am on the FRD-L09 Version. I also have another problem, that my PC won't recognize my Honor8 in Fastboot Mode (both: google's .exe files and the amazing Huawei MultiTool by Team MT).
every ADB Command works fine so far.
Since all downloadlinks for Huawei Firmware from here didn't work for me so far, too, i am trying the original Firmware from hihonor.com. The last time i checked it wasn't offered there until recently.
I am trying to make a SoftwareUpgrade via the Service Menu (*#*# 2846579#*#* tipped into the calling interface). This will execute the Update.app i copied to my sdcard/dload/ folder.
I hope i am not forgetting any procedures before i try to update. Right now my device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, while TWRP3.1 is installed.

I'm new to this so I don't know how to share links or files yet or even if thats possible but I used the "Huawei Android USB Driver" I found on one of the posts on this site. I cant remember exactly which one I'm not the most organized person with my files. look around on xda there are links to it somewhere. I'll try to dig around for you here in a few minutes see if i can find the link.

Oh one more thing
in emui 5.0 i found USB debugging always shuts itself off for some reason. So when your phone is plugged in go back into your developer settings and switch usb debugging back on.
I dont know why they changed this it wont stay on for me at least automatically

The USB Driver you mentioned are the ones which can be installed via the Huawei Multitool by Team MT. In the unzipped folder from there, there is a Huawei_Multi-Tool.bat which can be run. It can be used for multiple purposes, even installing all drivers. (except the ones for my fastboot connection obviously, but it also could be a hardware problem. so i didn't report this problem to them).
perhaps it can already help you guys.

I resolved my issue. I followed the downgrade instructions and it worked a treat. It then auto updated back to Nougat.

SECURE CHECK FAIL:SYSTEM any way to fix it?

So i bougth an used S8+ (g955u) which seems to be from verizon. the thing is that right on the first boot i put in my simcard(AT&T) and microSD card, the phone booted whit a verizon screen then on the first settings screen a windows pop-up told me to reset it, cant remember why, but i tap on yes, after that the phone reboot again but now with an AT&T screen, i was unable to pass the fist settings due to playstore stopping everytime after the wifi setup, so i took out the sim card and skip the wifi setup and finally get to the home screen. but the problems dont end there cuz some apps were forceclosing when i tried to open it (internet browser, playstore even i was able to log in with my account tho) and some times when i reboot the phone it get stuck bootlooping until i force a shutdown and turn it on again... now here start the part where i need help i tried to flash another software version whit odin, but no matter what uptdated or outdated the phone says: Secure chek fail:system even whit the version it supposedly came, im on bootloader 5 i think and now im stuck on download mode. is there a way to flash a stock or custom firmware or should i let it die?

Hmmm i would start with the latest firmware. If that fails maybe flash the latest combination file then firmware.
As for verizon att. These device normally now are multi csc selects system based on sim inserted which is awesome when it works right. But oreo and up i think checks system integrity so i would start with the combination files bit 5 then firmware

Thanks, I've tried that already. Android 9 version, the B5 combination files. Even flashing every file one by one the problem is with system. Idk why but fails at the last second, I'm thinking in use the repartition option in Odin but I'm afraid it could get worse

Lol i just responded in the other thread. If you dropped it take a bright flash light on the screen and inspect for any cracks under the gorilla glass. Sometimes the oled can crack without the outer glass breaking. If not. Try bixby vol down and power for upto 20 sec
