Cannot boot into download or recovery mode
Hi, my samsung Tab2 is stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error" screen. No matter which combination of buttons I press, I cant get into download or recovery. I've tried flashing with Odin, it shows successful but nothing has changed. I tried the ADB command but it says "Waiting for device". When I plug in the tab to the charger (or when I connect it to the PC) it comes on automatically with the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error" screen. Is it a power button thing or is it something else ?
Thanks.

Flash the CWM recovery via Odin, and restart. now you can go to the recovery mode and install ROM from sd card.
Dont try to flash any other recovery file, working with CWM only.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've already tried that, Odin shows it is successful but when i restart, nothing seems to have changed, the same upgrade error comes back.

I have and Idol 3 4.7 6039A (Mexico) and was rooted using kingroot, Unrooted and installed and OTA directly from phone and
the on recovery this error popped up:
Installation aborted.
E?unknown volume for path [@/cache/recovery/block.map]
E?erasing upade package errno=2
E?unknown volume for path [@/cache/recovery/block.map]
The phone now worn enter to android OS, I already did a Wipe/Factory reset & Wipe cache but it will just continue to boot into recovery, When I put in into download mode and use mobile upgrade from alcatel it will try to install a driver and fail thus making the mobile upgrade program say "No avaible device detected".
What do I do? Is my phone gone for good? Help please!
Turns out I lacked the ADB drivers, Close and delete thread please.
Hi, after trying unlock my bootloader, I couldn't get into recovery mode without "Your phone cannot be trusted" getting stuck on my screen.
I re-locked the boot loader but now when I go into recovery it says "Data Partition is corrupted please format" then it asks me to connect to a wifi network which then just shows errors everytime the password comes up.
I tried to turn on USB Debugging to ADB sideload a firmware, but I can't because the phone has been resetted; if I try to enter a wifi password the keyboard doesnt show it's just the google voice (which doesn't work) with no options. If i skip the wifi option it just goes on the google login and gets stuck on "Checking Info".
Any solutions to the problem please?
EDIT: I just re-unlocked the bootloader and now its permanently stuck on "Your device cannot be trusted, booting now" regardless of what buttons I press during startup
EDIT 2: I fixed it, it was long and complicated but I got it to work, here's how.
1. When flashing TWRP, I realized I was flashing the TWRP for EMUI 4, so I flashed TWRP for EMUI 5. (Make sure Bootloader is unlocked)
First have all the adb/fastboot drivers, for windows shift + right click the folder and click "Open Command here"
Make sure the twrp img file is in the same folder as the adb folder.
On the honor 8 phone, if it is stuck like mine, turn the phone off and then hold Volume Down + Power Button until the download mode is on the screen
Type "fastboot flash recovery (twrpfilename).img"
Once it's done, turn it off and then hold power button + volume up AND volume down at once till TWRP comes on
(Continuously hold it, if the "Your Device cannot be trusted" screen comes on release)
2. (Make sure internal storage and data are backed up externally for this)
Reset system, data, cache/dalvik, and internal storage
3. Download Update.zip and the second .zip from a website on google, search Honor 8 Manual Nougat and click the link from smartstocknews (I can't post links) but do not follow the steps from that website, and also download GAPPS from open GAPPS. Make sure ARM64 is selected and not ARM as well as 7.0
4. After wiping, mount the Honor 8 by connecting it via USB to a computer, and press "Mount" on TWRP
Upload the both update.zip and update_data_full_hw_eu.zip and GAPPS ARM64 7.0 to internal or external storage
5. Exit mount and go to install, install the zips in this specific order and do not reboot in between
A) Update.zip
B) Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
C) GAPPS.zip
6. Reboot after GAPPS is done (it might show already installed, if that's the case then it's alright, reboot anyways)
Download the 70mb package for firmware downgrade and the latest marshmallow firmware from your regional huawei's website.
Extract the small package and put the .app file in a folder called dload on the SD card and insert it in your phone.
Boot by holding volume + volume - and pressing power, holding all 3 buttons until the phone vibrates.
The package will flash and afterwards you repeat the process, this time using an .app file from the full marshmallow firmware.
The 70mb package installs not matter how messed up your file system is, and makes your phone ready for the MM firmware. This process brings any brick back to life. Good luck.
I too was trying to root my FRD-L04 and apparently used the wrong TWRP because now I get...
Code:
Unable to open ' ' to wipe crypto key
Unable to wipe Data
Unable to format to remove encryption
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
and I cant get the keyboard loaded so I can log into my wifi when I do a factory reset. I really have no idea how best to attack this...my phone is bricked I can get into TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery, sideload, and fastboot (i think). I am currently downloading the stock ROM for my device and will try to sideload it.
I feel I need to fix the data issues thought before trying to load the ROM as I dont think my data partition is working at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or a step-by-step guide on how to fix my bricked phone?
I've tried all sort of things today but no matter what, I cant get a keyboard working so I guess that means I'm screwed....
EDIT - my phone doesnt have a insertable SD card so I cant fix things the way the above poster suggests.

This is truly one of the worse phones I have ever had when it comes to root and such. My frustration over what, for a unbranded unlocked phone that *should* probably SHIP with root, this phone has and is putting me through is super high.
That being said...so I flashed the new 3.1.0.0 recovery. Before doing that, I had just tried to Unbrick the phone with flashing B162 image with 3.0.3.0...so now the phone is totally frozen in the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." screen. Nothing I seem to do can get it out of this mode.
I want to install the rooted b378 boot.img file I just downloaded, but am unable to find the button commands to get the bootloader loaded. Does anyone have any suggestions in somehow trying to save the day with this damned phone?
much thanks in advance.
EDIT: So I got the phone in bootloader mode by pressing vol up/vol down/power and inserting the usb cable...i flashed the rooted boot.img and twrp 3.1.0.1 to both recovery and recovery2 and now i can get into recovery. I feel like I may actually have a chance now to fix this damn thing...
So can anyone point me in a direction where, from this point with the new recovery loaded and the modded boot image installed, where i can get this phone working?? ill use ANY ROM it dont really matter at this point...
Don't worry. It's really easy, once you know what to do, just realy easy to screw up if you don't. If your phone is a mess just roll back to android 6 using the procedure i described above. Once your phone works, update to nougat and install twrp and root following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
Same issue

I pretty much have the same issue. No keyboard showing, just the stupid voice thing, and the Bootloader is Relocked. How did you get it fully unlocked. I can't get it. I guess let me get that resolved first (the bootloader) and I can try to go from there. Please help me.
UPDATE: Never mind I fixed it. I'm not really for sure how either but I think it mainly was just persistence.
Didn't work
Hello, so earlier today I tried to install RROS newest version in hope to get magisk/unrooting my phone because I'm addicted to snapchat and I rooted my phone with SuperSU earlier but didn't know u can't login to snapchat after that. It failed idk why, (I followed instructions very clearly and searched info from internet before doing that) causing me to brick my phone so when I booted it, it only showed black screen. After couple hours not finding way to get into twrp with my circumstances I managed to flash boot, recovery and system images, I tried to reboot and see what happens, (just in case, I kinda knew I didn't had ROM installed at the time, I also was hoping RROS to boot) nothing happened expect my phone got stuck in boot screen for booting EMUI, which was not installed obviously. Again after couple hours I stumbled to your post and managed to finally get myself into TWRP, I followed again ur instructions and everything was going fine, no erros, not anything. When Gapps was finished installing, I rebooted and again it just got stuck into booting screen. I did press and hold Power button, vol+, vol- and got myself into some kind of ROM installing screen, (hard to explain I don't exactly know what is name of it) and no it wasn't Huawei erecovery screen (Power button & Vol+ and no it didn't work me either saying that "getting package info failed") so in that ROM installing screen it just was stuck at 5% installing, and now I don't know what to do. My phone got locked again and I'm stuck at booting screen.
Note:
I don't have SD Card, should I get one and install stock rom?
Sorry for being kinda unclear but I'm tired it was 7 hours ago I got my phone bricked and have surfed on the web finding for answers ever since.
Also as you might notice, yes, I'm new to modding devices etc but still I'm not totally noob. Please help ASAP.
[SOLVED] So after hour of watching netflix as depressed teen I tried to reboot my phone again just in case, got stuck in booting screen. Then I held Power Button + Vol+ and got myself into EMUI stock recovery mode, I chose wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset, after that I rebooted my phone, it was stuck in booting screen for like 2 minutes but then it actually finished booting and now my phone is again functioning and god bless locked & unrooted.
So i want to root my smartphone wich i just adquired yesterday, i followed this guid http://azkazya.blogspot.mx/2017/02/blackview-bv6000-twrp-root-mt6755.html with a FAIL, the phone isnt bricked but when i apply on "update from sd" and select the supersu.rar it appears an error that saids something about OTA, and "INSTALATION ABORTED", can anybody help me please, remember my android is 7.0 as default.
resume of the root try:
download mediatek, flashtools, scatter, recovery, etc : OK
Change the recovery.img and the scatter for the one that i downloaded with flashtoosl : OK (It appears the green screen in windows and with the "green check"
Boot into bootloader: OK but it appeared a "no command" so i insisted on pressing the buttons too bootload till it pass to the screen where it appears apply update, wipe data, etc.
Load the supersu RAR file after selecting apply update from SD: OK
Then pass like 3-5 seconds and it says Installation aborted and something about OTA and scatter.
Somebody please help!!!
Still trying, somebody please help
I'm on a G900W8 with the latest software update and I just tried to install the latest TWRP through Odin using download mode (vol up, home and power) and while it seemed like it worked it didn't actually and now I cannot get into download mode whatsoever. It just says "installing system update" which fails after a few seconds and sends me to "no command" screen.
If I hit vol up and power to get into the next menu it says
Code:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
No Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API:3
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Successfully verified dmverity hash tree
E:Failed to clear BCB message: failed to find /misc partition
The phone boots and I can use adb commands to "apply update from ADB" in the recovery menu but I can't figure out how I can use this to fix anything. I have tried factory reset which worked but it did not fix my issue I still cannot access download mode or figure out any way to install TWRP or even get my regular recovery working again..
Does Odin still detect it when it reaches the no command screen? I had the same thing happen to a Samsung tablet but Odin still detected it after the 'installing system update' message and I was able to do a stock firmware flash.

No it doesn't unfortunately my PC recognizes it but it says the device has malfunctioned and is not recognized. If I boot it up Odin will recognize it fine but I cannot install anything that way since the actual system is running at that point.
