Hi guys,
I ask for your help after having tried everything was in my possibilities.
I recently bought a Galaxy GT-B1150 and I wanted to root it. I tried everything :
1. Superoneclick
2.Z4root
3.Unlock Root
4.Sgtool
5.to put a .zip folder in the SD and to enter in recovery
It was useless. I have all the possible drivers on my windows 7, although 1,2,3 and 4 didn't work.
1 freezes at #7;
2 just doesn't do anything
4 "smart card error 0x89"
5 I feel idiot, but I seriously can't do the recovery mode. I push power+home+volume up but the best result I achieve is a reboot.
It's been 3 days since I started trying, now I just don't know hat to do.
Thanks for any help!
U've written the model no. incorrectly..got me confused.
Anyway i'll see what i can find.
It's seems like the usual update.zip rooting works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431696
U should be able to boot into recovery.
The model is GT-B5510, sorry.
I swear I tried thousands times to boot into recovery, I just can't!
I even watched a video and a picture of the procedure, but it doesn't work. It's so simple that it seems impossible to me to be so dumb. It's three keys pressed simultaneously: that's what I do. I don't really know what to think.
Tell me what exactly happens when u try to enter recovery mode.
What do u see on the screen?
When the phone is off and I press the 3 keys, the phone turns on and the screen view with "samsung galaxy GT-B5510" written on, appears. If I hold them, after few seconds, the "galaxy GT..." text disappear and the phone just reboots. If I release them, the phone starts normally.
Weird.
Try various other key combination if ur bored, there should be one for download mode but it's not useful in this scenario.
I came across a very similar case the other day but on a different phone, he resolved it by rooting with superoneclick(beware of the various versions) .
Maybe googling on the superoneclick error might get u somewhere.
Maybe..maybe the new phones shipped with 2.3.6 have the recovery mode disabled/blocked(seems unlikely) but i've not been able to confirm this.
---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------
Also, is ur phone Y Pro or Y TXT?
Which country are u frm?
I uploaded the video to show you better.
It's been 3 days since I started trying. I googled everything I could, I tried to resolve every problem with each method.
The only way left is the recovery, so I will try different combinations.
It's Y PRO.
I'm from Italy.
Tried soe combinations...useless. Is there something else I can do?
Well it can be frustrating at times...try holding down the keys like forever, even after it reboots..maybe next time it'll boot into recovery instead of android.
Have u come across any alternate firmwares, either stock or custom that u could flash?
U have no problem entering download mode right?
Well, I'm not very into Android, it's the first time I use it. That means I didn't understand a word of your second sentence.
Ah, I don't even know how to enter in download mode.
Thank you for helping me, really!
Firmwares are the files which u can flash on ur phone which gives u a fully working operating system.
Flashing = Installing
Stock firmware/rom = factory samsung firmwares
custom firmware/rom = 'custom' like cyanogenmod
I don't think there are any custom roms for y pro as of now on xda.
Seems download mode for pro is voldown+home+power
Use this site http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 , u'll find all the firmware and guides on how to flash them.
U can also find it here http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...0-b5512-galaxyypro&catid=57:how-to&Itemid=104
But i usually use sammobile.com
U can check ur current firmware version in the About Phone or by typing in some code like *1234# (i don't remember exactly)
Take your time, don't rush into it. U'll lose all ur data when u flash firmwares.
U don't have any necessity to change firmwares at this moment, but the more u know the better it is.
I'm still wondering why u can't get into recovery.
My firmware is GINGERBREAD 2.3.6
I have Kies, so my phone is fully updated: why should I download the firmware?
The download mode doesn't seem to start too.
This whole thing is crazy!!!
Besides, my phone's memory is getting full, so I really need to move everything to the SD (the apps are already there)!
C'mon download mode has to work..else it's almost useless.
Even when updating with kies the phone goes into download mode during the process.
I was just thinking if u could flash to a previous firmware version maybe u could get into recovery..just a thought.
2.3.6 is the android version, u should also see something like B5510ITVLB1 or B5510ITVLF1
As for memory, rooting is the best way to move all the apps to sd...but there are some applications on market which can move certain apps, not all to sd without root.
There is a galaxy y forum here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1469 maybe the folks there can help u more.
My firmware version is B5510XXKK2.
Installing a previous firmware should be my last chance, since it deletes everything. :'(
I'll try on that forum too.
same problem here
Hello,
I know this is a old threat but I have the same problem and I am from the Netherlands..
I've bought this phone with a screenlock password and the previous owner don't not know him anymore

Press volumen down, then Home, then Power.
In above 5 or 6 seconds you will see the Samsung banner, then release all the keys at the same time.
Almost instantaneously you will see a very different menu, and then finally you have to press (as indicated in the screen) the volume up key.
Now you are in download mode, and you can plug the usb cable to connect the mobile to a computer with Odin and then flash the ROM (for instance).
Cheers.

Same problem - tried everything - can go into download mode - what next?
Hi, I have the same problem. My phone got blocked because my mother tried the pattern too many times. The phone won't accept my gmail login and password (even though it is correct). I've tried a hard factory reset (volume up, home, off) but it doesn't work. I can get in to download mode by pressing volume down, home and off-button but I have no idea what I need to do next. Any advice anyone?

Hi there.
If you read spanish, you can take some ideas from my site:
https://wiki.legido.com/doku.php?id=android:gt-b5510
Summary:
1. Get a GNU/Linux machine (you can build a Virtual Machine on top of Virtualbox for instance)
2. Get SplitFUS2
https://wiki.legido.com/doku.php?id=android:gt-b5510#splitfus2
3. Download a ROM file:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-B5510
4. Uncompress it and generate the required files:
Example:
./splitfus2 -w -s S6102DXMA2_S6102OLBMA1_S6102DXMA2_HOME.tar.md5
5. Get a Window$ machine
6. Download Odin on this machine:
https://wiki.legido.com/doku.php?id=android:gt-b5510#odin
7. Plug the mobile on download mode to the windows machine through a USB cable
8. Pass the files obtained on step 4 to the Window$ machine
9. Upload new firmware with Odin to the mobile
I hope that this summary helps you.

Howdy folks! In need of some urgent help... I'm also not terribly familiar with android as I came from years of using iphones.... Yesterday I did the OTA update to EMUI 5. Everything was fine except bluetooth would fail to turn on...so I tried doing a factory reset in the settings. The reset failed less than 10% in and when the phone rebooted, it seems like only half the OS reset and is totally screwed up (no access to the soft keyboard anymore, etc.).
Reading on how to either rollback to EMUI 4/Marshmallow, I tried using the Huawei Update Extractor after downloading L04 6.0 firmware from the Huawei site ( Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific ).
After issuing the adb command to flash the first file, boot.img, I get a "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed).
I'm a total loss at this point. I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction in terms of what to do next!
I was in the same position as you. Here is what I did:
Download both the rollback package and the full marshmallow firmware (I used a german one since that is my region, i linked one for the UK version, google your specific model to find them) from the hihonor community website: https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1752 and read the PDFs that are included in both zips, they contain the instructions to roll back to Marshmallow.
You will need an external SD card and you will lose your data.
In case the steps are not clear enough:
1. Copy the dload folder of the rollback package to the root of the SD.
2. Force update the phone (hold volume up and down at the same time when powering up).
3. Shut down the phone after the force update is done.
4. Delete dload folder of the rollback package and replace it with the dload folder of the full marshmallow firmware.
5. Force update the phone again.

First of all, confirm that your model is the L04 model.
The rollback procedure to MM is the following:
- Download the B300 from here http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details?DOC_ID=92098
- Put the 'Update.APP' (~80MB) file in a folder called 'dload' in your external storage
- Turn off your phone then maintain all the buttons (Volume+, Volume-, Power) to turn it on.
After the update finishes, check your build number, you should be on B300.
- Now, delete the 'Update.APP' that's in your 'dload' folder
- copy the 'Update.APP' (~3 GB or so) of the B122 http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details?DOC_ID=89264
- Turn off your phone then maintain all the buttons (Volume+, Volume-, Power) to turn it on.
Let your phone optimize, reformat its partitions.
You should now have MM on B122, you can then update to B162 through OTA.

Thanks for your replies. I sincerely appreciate it. I tried doing the above and when updating the rollback, it would only read to 5% and when phone rebooted it was in the same state it was before attempting the rollback. Could it be something to do with the SD card? Any other ideas? Thanks again.

Alright now let's try another method to save it.
- Turn off the phone
- Keep holding the volume+ button then plug it to a computer.
- Keep holding the volume+ until you see the honor logo.
- You should now see the eRecovery.
- Choose download latest software and recovery.

Assuming you have successfully flashed the rollback update (B300), I successfully rolled back to B162 by making a "dload" folder on my external SD card, and placing the Update.APP file in there, and then accessing recovery using the pwr+vol (+/-) buttons.. For some reason placing the Update.APP file in the internal storage did not work with the stock recovery, even though the instructions for the rollback ask you to do so. Hopefully this helps.

I'm in the same situation you were in, command not allowed, rollback not working, dload folder with update.app in sd card not working.
How and what did you do after that ?
Thanks in advance
Place the dload folder/files on the root of the internal memory.
Go look on ModaCo.
There is a guy called Paul O'Brien who I think has some thing to do with Honor in some way.
He will help you sort your phone

I somehow managed to actually rollback my phone ! I'm starting to feel a lot better.
Bootloader's locked again, though (no more "this device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted")
Only small problem now is I have the "this device was reset" message problem still around.
Read online here on xda that I need to wait 72 hours before logging on again with my new password (I did change it, that must be why)
I'll just wait these 72 hours and see if it works.
Else if you did have this issue too i'd love to hear about it.
Hello
I have a Mate 7 L-09 and I am in the same situation of Sassan_Payehdar described in the his thread
Hi everyone,
I have a Huawei Mate 7 LT-09 16 gig, and I recently did these works:
1. The installed rom was android 6 B513.
2. I read a post in this forum (that is closed now) and updated it to B553 KingVIP Chinese through restoring nandroid TWRP backup.
3. After install I saw lots of bugs, so I wipe all partitions through advanced wipe in TWRP.
4. Then install marshmallow stock recovery using mobopx tool.
after that nothing works.
The USB drive just show hisuite CD-Rom and device not recognize for ADB Options in windows 7,8,8.1 and 10.
There is no recovery,
There is no option using combinations of the buttons vol+,Vol- and power.
I tried installing stock ROM through .app file and dload folder and still nothing works.
I tried Jtag and after lots of work, fastboot screen appears and reinstalling all versions of different recoveries and looks like the software is installing nowhere in neverland!, there is nothing!
I take my device to a technician and he said there is maybe no way to re-run the device. I really need help.
Apologize for poor English and thanks in advance help.

No bootloader, no recovery, no option using combinations of the buttons vol+,Vol- and power, no recognition by ADB on PC only huawei logo.
He tried Jtag to appear fastboot, but I never read anything about Jtag. Where can I find it and how to use it?
Sorry for my English.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you so much!!

What happens when you enable your phone (after shutdown) with pressing power + volume up?
Also, what happens when you do the same but with power + volume down?
I would say that if it loads the logo you should be able to enter fastboot/recovery.
Focus on this first and what is your experience with using custom roms to give us an idea of what could be overlooked etc.
If you can load to fastboot and/or recovery let us know and we start from there.

Thank you very much for the answer......
Ok...
I can' t swich off the phone. When I press power off button it reboot and after a few seconds appears huawei logo and then nothing more happens.
When I try to press VOL- and power or VOL+ and power or any other combination of buttons it happens the same think written above: the phone reboot and after a few seconds appears huawei logo and stop.
I brought the phone to the huawei customer center and they told me it need to change motherboard to fix it but it is out of production. I brought it to two famous Chinese stores to fix phones here in Milano, but they couldn't do anything (so they said).
I would just like to retrieve the use of the phone. I saved all the data.
Thanks again for the help.

Not being able to to overcome the logo boot is unknown to me. Maybe the phone should still be able to be flashed!
I lack the knowledge, but to help out I share a link to someone having a similar issue. I will share the link at the end of this post.
If you are unable to connect to your phone and/or make it enter fastboot or recovery I have no idea if that means your phone is bricked.
For now, make sure you understand how to flash,boot,reset etc your phone, only to be sure you have tried all approaches.
Let us know if you did not succeed also so others can learn from this thread in the future

Good
now I am in this situation: I was able to install TWRP recovery for Marshmallow 3.0.2-0 Mate 7 by Mobopx v.2.1.
I chose this recovery beecause my last firmware was EMUI 4.0 (Marshmallow).
After I tried to apply this method: http://ministryofsolutions.com/2016...09tl10-bootloop-after-marshmallow-update.html, but it didn't work. After flashing I power on the phone and it try to boot (some times the animation start too for a bit) but then nothing. The phone reboot in recovery mode (this is a change compared to before).
Somebody has some ideas??

Hi
Ok, this is hard to explain.
My phone was original a honor 8 from china, then 2 years back I made the rebrand to european version lrd09 6.0 , then I flash to emui 5.0 nougat. I was perfectly fine with that over 2 years, I live in argentina and it never ask me for update.
Now I am on vacation on italy (europe), and one update was available, I update my device, first update 400 mg file, all ok. Then a next update was available of 700mg, I did not thought it could have been a problem because my phone had a european version, so I did it.. and it enter in boot loop until it enters the recovery, I try to download latest version and recovery but it does not work.
How can I recover my phone? I guess I let one image version of emu5 when everything worked fine in my computer and not sure if in my phone too.
But now I dont have twrp working, only the original huawei recovery, it has bootloader and I guess the rebrand stays.
I love my pictures with this phone, and this was my first day from my vacation, I want to cry
The only solution that I can think off, is to buy a new honor8 or something with similar good camera and price, then use that and back into argentina try to recover my phone and sell one of the two.
There is another solution?

So.. I need to do this?

What it does the option wipe cache partition does? it may help?
If I wipe data, I lose my pictures located in the main memory card? Or these remain in the dcim folder?
Or for that I need Android Data Recovery and cross fingers?
If i make a factory reset, then I can update my honor in europe to emui5 without this happening to me again?
The fact that it has the bootloader, it may block me to do this?

Ok, I tested, it complete the factory reset to the 100%, then I reboot, but the boot loop continues
The factory reset I did, it is possible that the smartphone have go back to the chinese lrd 00 version? impossible I guess, it should have returned to the factory european version that it had with emui4...
So not sure why this did not work.
I have heard that the Chinese variants which are rebranded to L09 gets stuck in a bootloop after a certain EMUI 5 update. I guess the same has happened with you. Before I can help you any further, can you confirm if your bootloader is unlocked. To check it, if your device is powered off, hold down your volume down button and immediately plug the device to a computer. If you're in a bootloop, hold the power button for a force reboot and as soon as the screen goes black hold down volume down and connect your device to PC.

I want to tell you that I check the memory flash card that I have in the honor 8, and like I thought, there is an image that I did with the twrp, but I guess I dont have twrp anymore.
Maybe many things that you told me, I will not be able to do it until I return from my vacation, because in this PC, I dont have android studio, or hisuite, or all the plugins that I remember to use when I rebrand this phone.
But maybe I can do it anyway. I dont remember if I have to download the whole android studio to install TWRP.

Nah, you don't need to install the whole Android Studio just for ADB/Fastboot. Grab the installer (I made) from here: https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-F...ster/versions/adb_fastboot_installer-1.0s.exe
Get Huawei 32-bit drivers: https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-F...master/versions/drivers/huawei-drivers-32.zip
Get Huawei 64-bit drivers: https://github.com/hackslashX/ADB-F...master/versions/drivers/huawei-drivers-64.zip
(You only need one of the above drivers)
With all utilities installed, you can now easily flash TWRP.
For firmware, please tell me the complete build number for your device i.e. FRD-L09XXX (what are those three Xs).

Thanks for the links and info.
Although I am not sure how to know the build number, I guess the update to emu5 was something like 431.. or something like that, but I am not sure, I did this two years ago.
I need to know the build number to install TWRP or recover my phone?
If it is bricked, not sure how I can access to the build number.
Hello everyone,
I just installed lineage os on my huawei p20. But i like to return to emui8.1. Where can i download the original firmwares?

I would suggest "Firmware Finder" by TeamMT.
Google it, there is a PC Version and a mobile one for Android. Make sure to EXACTLY enter your device type ( in my case EML-L29C432) If you dont know your model take a look at the phone box.
You need to download three files. If you still have TWRP you can use HuRupdater. Place the three files in a folder together with the hurupdater.zip, then flash the hurupdater zip. I may seem stuck but it just takes a few minutes so be patient and do NOT REBOOT MANUALLY DURING INSTALLATION (=Brick)

Will give that a go. Thanks for the help.
If I upgrade to EMUI 9.0 and don’t like it. Can I not just do a simple factory reset on the p20 to revert back to EMUI 8.1. My phone is EM L09.

Thanks I have read this guide but I don’t want to root my phone. Is there not a way to just factory reset without rooting?

Yes, you can use eRecovery.
No Root or Flashing Stuff needed.
1. Power Off your Phone
2. Press the Powerbutton shortly and wait till you see the Huawei Logo.
3. As soon as you can see the huawei logo press and hold the volume up button. This will take you to erecovery.
You will see a Screen with different options
4. Touch the "Download latest Version and Recovery" Button at the bottom of the screen. Your Phone will activate Wifi.
5. Choose your Wifi Network and enter your Wifi Key.
6. When the phone is successfully connected it will search for the latest official firmware. Follow the instructions

Thanks sackgnom. I will try this but I am worried that if Huawei makes emui 9 as the official firmware from this point on then doing the above steps will not allow me to reset to 8.1. I will keep it posted.
