Unrooting went terribly wrong. What to do now? - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I tried to unroot my phone through SuperSU, but that showed no results, with the app telling me to be patient for over half an hour.
So I looked to the play store, and downloaded Unroot My Phone (Free). Tried it, but now my Mate 7 09 is stuck on the Huawei loading screen, the one with the glare going up and down.
What to do? I already did a factory reset and wiped the cache, from the IMEI menu I could reach here at the office. But thats it! I might be able to reach the recovery from home, I don't know?
If I restart the phone holding volume up and down and power at the same time. The phone wants to update and says there is no updatefile available.
Could I try to load my current rom onto my sd-card and go at it again?
What could I try to do?

[Q] Please Help

Ok first my Inspire has been rooted and running Inspired Ace since early June without a hitch. Well this morning the phone booted up normal, well about an hour later it just showed a black screen and would not respond. I pulled the battery and rebooted, it got to the first htc "white" screen and about 10 seconds later the phone vibrated 7 times then just hung on the first screen. I pulled the battery again, and it was the same thing. OK i then tried to get into recovery (through hboot) and it just hung on the first screen and vibrated. I tried reflashing the rom but again at the first screen it hangs and vibrates 7 times. the longest Ive waited for it to do something has been 2 hours. Im at my wits end. Can someone out there help? Thank You in advance.
EDIT: Well its now a warranty claim.. some sort of hardware failure
Thanks to Tx Redneck and a huge thanks to ATTN1 for trying to help get it fixed
Get back into HBOOT, select recovery, select backup/restore and make a nandroid, select wipe data factory reset, select advanced>wipe dalvik cache, select install zip from sd card and reflash the rom.
Post back up w/ the results.
I tried and after i select recovery the phone just goes to the first HTC screen vibrates about 7 times and hangs. it wont let me get to where the backup/restore option is.
Can you get to HBOOT and do you have a sd card reader on your puter?
yes i can and do
Try this. If it's successful, you'll hafta re-root but at least you'll have a working phone again.

oh i think im not having a good day. I've actually tried both the froyo and gb versions a few times. it always ends with the same result.. hanging on first screen and vibrating 7 times. is the vibrating like an error code of some sort?
Copy the contents of your sd to a folder on your pc then format, re xfer the tool and try again.
ok im trying it now
ok i tried what you said and used a new copy of the froyo version... well now its still hung at the first screen but it didnt have the 7 vibrates this time.
Bud, I'm sorry but that's all I know/could think of to do. My suggestion at this point would be to go here and ask the pro's.
Be sure to give the link to this thread or a FULL description of what's been tried/done.

OK
Well I thank you for the help.
Did yall get it worked out?

[Q] Restart loop(not bootloop) - really weird

Hey lads,
I got a really weird problem and I've tried nearly everything I can think of. I had EMUI 2.3(b121sp06) and I tried the online OTA update to b307 if I remember right(was automatically suggesting the update) and at the update screen it loaded to about 99% and then stopped. Said not to press power while on this screen but obviously it wasn't going to finish. So I reset the phone and it started the "recovery loop", so basically keep trying to apply the update. I had to flash CWM to break out and flashed the whole system by hand(recovery,system,boot,cache,cust and userdata img files) and it starts up but it keeps resetting and seemingly it's random. Android boots up, I don't touch the phone--> boom reset. Weird thing is it even does it in recovery.
If I really want to explain the problem it's like as if my finger got stuck on the power button(that naturally made me think that the button might be f*cked), but booting into fastboot and not having resets cleared my suspicion. What I also noticed is that every time it boots up it doesn't recognize the sim card and I have no signal or whatsoever.
Tried multi tool unbricking method -> doesn't work
Tried factory reset from stock recovery(had to be fast so it doesn't reset before) ->doesn't work
Tried wiping dalvik cache and factory reset from CWM ->doesn't work
Tried killing battery by letting it keep resetting -> battery drained, reset loop stopped ->put the phone on charger->reset loop started again
I have no f*cking clue how can I get out of this, will keep trying though. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Hi
Did you try to remove the Sd Card ? Honor 6 reboot is often due to faulty SD Card.
Which model do you have ? L04 ?
B307 upgrade sure ?
Seb
Yes, that was my first idea, still does it though. I have the L02 and I'm not positive it was b307, but it started with 3, could be b303 if there is one.
I don't know for L02 but for L04 there is a Full ROM that you can flash with the three buttons method. (Vol+,Vol-, power and put the ROM in /dload folder on the SD card).
Maybe there is such thing for L02 ?
There is, but as I said the phone restarts even in recovery. It's like the phone restarts every 30 secs except for fastboot.
if it's not SD card or internal flash problem so, it seems to be hardware related to me (
Would make sense but it occurred only after I tried OTA. Would be really surprised if that killed that hardware :-/

I have tried stop & uninstall some app
I've tried as quickly as I can when the phone (nokia x) is on, then I stop> uninstall I consider potentially cause this problem (facebook, whatsapp, uc browser) and then it managed to prevent the continuous restarts. but problems arise even though the application had me uninstall and then I restart the phone. and it is back again, I uninstalled the app that has remained with the error settings and restart repeatedly. who knows what else : '(

Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
In the past my battery lost it's endurance pretty much. Furthermore I've read that a defective battery causes lots of weird behaviours on our Honor 6, which was the same to mine.
In my case a replacement of the battery worked well, to get my Honor 6 back to life:

It's not that difficult and lasts approx. 30-45 mins. Spare Batteries are available for 6 - 10 bucks on ebay or directly from the chinese internet stores.

It's really important that we use original chargers for the health of our device.

Phone locked/P8max

I'm trying to root the phone for a few days but I can't get to the fastboot or something.
What do I have to do to get into fastboot other boot? Holding down the Volume down and Power for a few seconds?
And if do do Vol down and up and Power all at once, I get a screen with the Android doll and a msg Phone locked.
What does that mean?
And if do another combination of keypresses, the phone is is saying: Huawei software installing
It also keeps stuck at 90%.
It takes long to install something. It's a DAV-703L and I am on update B028.
EDIT
I finally got it working and it's unlocked. I installed SuperSU and rebooted it. And what is this:
http://imgur.com/cqfBbMU
I wanted to install and open Titanium Backup but it says it's not rooted.
EDIT
Man, this was one hell of searching and doing research all day. All why it was not working was because of the wrong version of SuperSu, namely BETA 2.49
because it was chinese. It's finally rooted but it keeps booting into TWRP now.
You have to flash the original recovery, this will fix the bootloop!

Ok, will I lose the root?
EDIT
Never have been learning and playing so intensive with this phablet. For now it booted normal and seems have the root still on.
Anyone can explain how to remove the Huawei bloatware? I have Titanium Backup but can't find to remove the those annoying apps.
EDIT2
Seems I have to write down the annoying bloatware apps name and have the options to backup, freez and delete.
Ok, so rooting have benefits... Awesome, and also got rid of no more whatsapp notif because of Phone Manager.
Alright, one last question. If I want to restore the phone to its factory settings, will it be restored in its original state?
Like after leaving the factory?

i was trying to dload mm firmware. The firmware dloaded fine but after factory reset and reboot, the fone is jus staying on honor screen after 3d text. i tried to go in erecovery but cannot, fone jus vibrates twice and then after 3d honor text, it stays on blue honor screen forever.
i tried to boot in fastboot as well as dload.....same thing happend not booting in fastboot or dload.
only 3d text and blue screen.
now fone doesnt even turns on if power button pressed ,but juss vibrates twice and blue screen after 3d text.
Leave your device as it is so that the battery is fully drained and is powered off. Then plug your device to charger for 5 minutes. Unplug it and now try to boot to recovery.
Hold the power button and volume up button until you hear the first vibration and screen goes on. Leave both buttons. Now you can go to recovery. Perform a full factory reset. Then power off your device and move the dload package to your external SD card. Repeat the same process but this time hold both volume buttons and power button.

no recovery dload fastboot etc.
Hi. Sorry the revive.
Could you solve this? I'm in the same situation
No unlock, can't enter to recovery, can't enter to erecovery so I can't flash with dload, fastboot is a joke if the phone has locked bootloader so I can't reflash the recoveries.

Hi everyone!
First, sorry reviving the threadm but this one is similar to my trouble.
Second, every flash process was done with dload method and vol + - and power combination.
Third, I never unlock my phone before or flashed any custom rom or recovery, everything was stock.
Last night, I tried to rollback my honor 8 frd-al19 to emui 6.0 with proper rollback package and firmware for Android 6.0 (both official and for my model), but phone went into boot lock. It isn't boot loop, It's stuck on the Honor blue logo. I can't even turn off the phone.
I did this procedure once before with success. I was on fdr-al19c432b360 firmware 100% functional (I was an idiot to rollback again when not needed at all... I know). I applied the rollback package correctly, and then I did a mistake and flashed full c636b131 Android 6.0 firmware instead of c432b131 Android 6.0.
Phone started ok with everything working. But I noticed my bad (emui didn't find any update package from OTA, and noticed the error in version model shown) and reflashed rollback package... At this point is where I think I messed up the recoveries or something. When ended the flashing process, I copied the correct firmware (the c432b131 android 6) on dload folder and tried again to flash.... but this time phone never entered on erecovery nor recovery. Only thing I get is stuck honor blue screen. It refuses to enter on recovery or erecovery. It just reboots, vibrate twice and keeps stuck after that on honor screen.
Strange thing, is that I did this procedure once before some months ago with success, but that time I didn't make the mistake with the versions.
After panic, I tried to boot in fastboot connected to my pc, and HiSuite knows there is something connected, because it launches it self, but don't recognize the phone and says it can't be recovered. Also, Adb don't see the phone either, only fastboot.
With fastboot commands I tried to reboot into recovery and nothing happened. Then wipe cache/user data, reflash stock recovery. Everything failed with message "remote: not allowed". And of course, because I never unlocked my bootloader. Fastboot says phone locked, frp locked (was frp, don't remember now exactly).
Then, I read about to let the battery die. I did. That didn't work either, phone keeps stuck on honor blue logo.
I downloaded multitool for huawei software, and everything requires an unlocked bootloader to recover.
Then, I tried to get unlock code, but huawei site ask me product id which I can't get because phone is bricked (I have all other data, imei, serial, etc.) . Tried with id generator too, and nothing what I tried have work so far. It's frustrating.
I'm pretty hopeless now, no unlock, no recovery, no erecovery, so I can't flash anything on the damn phone to try to recover it.
Can I save my phone or is it just an expensive brick? Any help will be REALLY welcome.

Well, is a bit silly to answer yourself but this can help someone else:
I did purchase a license of 3 days of dc phoenix software and force updated version android 6.0 c432B131 on my honor 8 fdr L19.
It flashed ok, but software said that couldn't install update. On phone went to 99% for long time (more than 1 hour).
So I looking for some info, and also the software said that I had to manually update. I just copied the same rom with dload method: just the same UPDATE.APP on the folder, and tried the 3 buttons: It worked!
After a success bootup, it found inmediatelly (OTA) the update to android 7, c432b360 firmware and downloaded and installed.
Here went something strange: after updated again via OTA, everything was working ok, but on about phone, the version shown wasn't the c432b360. Instead it said something about test keys build. Just for being safe, I tried to full reset the phone and... it failed. It said failed on erecovery menu, and after that, the next boot up I couldn't pass over wifi setting menu: keyboard was missing and it just tried to talk to text input. Another panic moment, so I tried to enter on recovery to clear cache and reset user with no luck. After that, phone refused to start showing an error message on fastboot screen: "phone couldn't pass verification, it may not function properly".
What to do? just do all the things again, but just with dload method. As I was on android 7, first I installed downgrade package. Ok, it did well. After, installed again c432b131 (android 6). And finally success!.
Once again, phone ask for install OTA android 7 and I let it. Now, I just didn't tried to do a factory reset and so far is ok.... but it hasn't AOSP Android keyboard anymore. So far is working ok, everything is working: wifi, phone, 4g mobile internet, nfc, sensors, apps, gps, compass... so I'm pretty happy now, but not sure what happened when I tried to factory reset and what happened to AOSP Android keyboard.

A late answer but maybe useful for some
Because the OTA showed up, was not a full OTA file. I guess it was only 1.3 gb something. It was a test build and didnt have any apks inside including the keyboard. And also not a stable one (test build) So it is always better to download FULL package from the menu and flash that one.

Galaxy S7 G930U Unlocked stuck in boot loop - already flashed successfully but no fix

I'm really hoping you guys can help me out here. This is an S7 I bought from a Best Buy when I visited the US in 2017, and I got the Unlocked version so I would be able to use it back in my home country. Unfortunately, this is the second time I've had trouble with it in a span of 4 months and the first time it was a hardware problem and ended up quite expensive to get fixed.
Today I was using my phone normally when I decided to use the Google instant translation to translate something on my computer screen. That caused my phone to freeze, restart, and then tell me I was using an unauthorized flash and it was going to be locked, or something like that. Even after restarting a few more times, the phone would never get past that screen. I proceeded to factory reset/cache reset and from then on the phone just got stuck in a boot loop.
I learned that the fix would be to flash the phone. After a lot of work I found the G930UUESACSI1-20190930144640 firmware (the XAA version, for Unlocked) and successfully used Odin 3.13 at the Download Mode screen to flash my phone. It then restarted, went back to the blue screen, started installing some updates, when it was 100% it restarted again. Unfortunately, the loop remained. Galaxy S7 logo first, then the Samsung logo, then it just repeats.
I have also tried turning the phone off with the Recovery screen shut down option (since I can't seem to be able to turn it off with the power button right now), wait a few minutes, then turn it back on. Nothing changed.
Please, does anyone have any insight into this? What else could I possibly try, or what could I be doing wrong? I really don't want to send it to repair yet again in such a short time.
Many thanks in advance.

You need to clear the cache after flashing to get out of the boot loop.
Use the download key combo to restart. As soon as the screen goes black move to Volume up+home+power.
In the recovery menu choose clear/ Wipe cache, then choose reboot.
I apologize for not updating this thread before when it was still recent. The fact is that I didn't manage to fix my phone; clearing the cache after flashing did nothing to stop the loop.
I ended up taking the phone to the people who have fixed it in the past and after more than one month, they gave up. So I got my phone back and I want to try to give it another go before I just sell it for parts.
Unfortunately, my phone has come back even worse. Now it has no Recovery Menu to speak of, at least none that I can access; after a few seconds of the blue text on the top saying that it's entering recovery mode, it then proceeds to a blue screen saying: "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked.". I can still access Download Mode.
I have attempted flashing a few firmwares that I believe should have worked with my SM-G930U. Odin listed the attempts as "pass" and, after restarting and going back to the Download screen, it says the binary is Official. However, after trying to restart the phone normally, it starts displaying the blue screen again, and then, after going to Download mode, the binary is reverted to "Custom".
I believe right now the order of the day is to get the recovery menu to work again so I can do all the cache cleaning that seems to be required after flashing firmware. Any ideas at all on how I should proceed? Is there something specific I should download to fix the recovery menu?
How many files are you flashing in Odin, is it just 1 file in the AP slot, or 4 files: AP, BL, etc.? Also, is your phone rooted?

Never rooted, was using the phone legit before it froze and entered boot loop. I flashed all 4 files, multiple times.
Someone tried fixing my phone a few days after I replied to this thread and some progress seems to have been made, but now the phone cannot get past a black screen with a "SBL Error! rdx_init!" in red text, and "upload mode" in yellow text. Still cannot access Recovery Mode, but Download Mode still works.
I did a little Googling on rdx_init errors and it seems I need a firmware dump from another G930U or something like that...any ideas on how I can proceed?
Flash it with Eng Boot in all slots using patched Odin. Reboot to recovery and wipe it. Reboot system. Then root it with advanced adb root. Links for all of this are here in xda. Enjoy

S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V10
S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V12
S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root
But I had no luck flashing any of these cause my binary is 10. Is there any more help you can provide me? I really don't know how to proceed

I thought I had one in my phone, but I don't. If you look at the thread where you downloaded the Root_V12, you will see it. It's near the end of the thread somewhere.
