Phone bricked? Anyone got any advice or should I just buy a new one.

So after problem after problem trying to root my phone.
1-Twrp crashing when trying to install SuperSU
2-phone failing to mount /Data when wiping etc (Formatting data to other types wasn't working). I got desperate and entered some guy's cmd suggestion into fastboot.
This is when my phone crashes and displays RGB blocks and will only reboot into eRecovery where it says Download latest version and recovery, but cannot find the package info.
Berate me. I have brought shame on my family. Any miracle advise before I buy a new phone?

No access to twrp. As much as I beg it, it just goes to RGB then eRecovery. (Give me the word and I give up)
the same problem happened to Vikram ( the guy who owns an honor 8) ,he just send to service care, they said the motherboard is crashed , he repaired under warrenty[[ note ::your phone should not display the boot warning ,otherwise it won't come under warranty ]]
Rommco05 said:
I do not understand the post, but...
Whitch model you have and whitch fw was last installed on phone?
btw not too bad, im sitting in work behind two monitors, working and writing on XDA simultaneously :laugh:

Sorry, i'll be more concise. Thanks for this btw.
I can't get into TWRP, it reboots into a screen with a green background and a blue square and red square, then to the Huawei eRecovery screen that says "Download latest version and recovery", "reboot", and "shutdown".
FW is firmware yes?
I'm not certain, I was on the latest EMUI
Model is FRD-L09

Thanks for all you help Rommco05, VenuGopalu also thanks. I'll send it off and see what happens
Rommco05 said:
One think, when turn on phone isnt see words: Your device is unlocked and cant be trust... etc?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No it doesn't say any of that, just goes to the RGB
Do you think that because I had to register to get my OEM unlock code, does that mean they won't do the warranty?
Rommco05 said:
Ok, give him to service and i'm not sure what say in service. Talking about twrp, bootloader... etc isnt the best idea. I dont know, just happend when you turn on device... or somethink like that
and would be nice if you after let us know what happend in service
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I will do definitely. I'll get back here in a week or so
All fixed!
So it was quite simple really, I called up Huawei giving an appropriately vague but true description of what had happened (obviously not mentioning any rooting or anything). I guess it helped that the "this phone is unlocked and not trusted screen" doesn't show. They organised for it to be taken in and fixed, then a few weeks later they sent it back fixed!
Praise Huawei!

Its easy bro . Everyone gets this issue just beacuse of the lack of proper investigation.
It is even easy to revert to previous version when u do a good research in xda .

I had to use DC-Phoenix, which unlocked BL and flashed update.app. I couldn't do it manually, because my phone wasn't detected by adb devices and I didn't know that code you need for unlocking bl manually, dload method didn't want to turn on.

Flash stock recovery and then do the rollback, you should be fine. Then you can install TWRP and mess up your phone again

Honor 8 stolen and flashed

Hello, guys i need your help here. My 2 week old Honor 8 was stolen by thief. Police retrieved the phone and I got it back. Problem is that the thief did something to the phone and tried to remove/replace IMEI and ROM so he wouldnt be tracked down by police, which obviously didnt help him. Now i got my phone back and there is writing " This phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted" everytime i reboot it, but it loads at least. I tried to flash the phone with Rollback and stock firmware from hihonor.com website but without luck. Flashing stops at 5% saying version mismatch or something like that.
2 more cents:
1. About phone shows 2 different IMEIs
2. Version number shows: FRD-C900B120
I would like my phone back to stock firmware without root or anything, i dont need that.
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks a lot!
Hi, i had your problem, stuck at 5% and here (in another thread) some people helped me, so i'm telling you what i did hoping i can help you too.
Update process:
First of all be sure to download the firmware updated (Marshmallow) http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92125&version=360419&siteCode=it-h
After the download is finished:
1. Make a backup, then format your External SD card from your PC (FAT32 should be fine)
1. Unzip (just extract) the update.zip and you should have "UPDATE.APP". Transfer this file to the SD card into the dload folder (if folder is not present, create it yourself). Pay attention, when i did this i haven't any file on the formatted sd card, so do this before transfer anything else
2. In the dialer app, enter the combination *#*#2846579#*#* and select "Software Upgrade" to make the updating process from SD start
3. If everything goes fine but the phone does not boot (bootloop on Honor logo), enter to recovery and wipe data and cache
I think that there is no need to use the rollback package as you weren't on a new software, so just download this firmware and you should be fine flashing it.
P.S The firmware i linked is for model FRD-L09, as i don't know where to find yours. If your phone is European version, then you can download and try to install it. After all, when the phone boots you can update to Nougat via OTA to B380 firmware if you want. Let me know if you succede
It did not help unfortunately. I downloaded the zip, extracted and moved dload with .app in it to formated SD card. dialed the number, selected the package, phone rebooted to twrp and nothing happend. so I turned it off and tried (+ - power button) install, it started installing but after 5% it says "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct package." and reboot system now. Same outcome as with rollbackers before
dunno whats my correct version tbh, "About phone" shows under Model: FRD and under Version: FRD-C900B120. thats all i got. btw I live in czech rep.

Okay, shouldn't have rebooted to twrp.. But if manually update fails maybe it's the case to try with the correct firmware. If you can find the firmware wich begins with FRD-L09C40 (wich belongs to Czech Republic) you can retry the update process. I searched around the web but found anything (maybe because i'm in italy, idk) but you can try to search in another thread here on xda. I saw a list of original firmware if i'm not wrong. You can try see there or ask them if they can provide a link for the correct firmware you need. Sorry if i can't help anymore

If bootloader is unlocked, there should be no problem with flashing it via adb manually or TWRP.
If this fails, there is always a way how to fix it, with DC-Phoenix.

Can flashing a new ROM help in "Organization phone"?

Hi XDA members,
I recently received a "Lava Z3" phone from University for free. But, the device is now managed by my University and the device shows "This device is not private" and "This device belongs to your organization".
I want to get rid of this thing and solve this privacy nightmare.
What I've tried so far:
- Tried deleting the "SOTI MobiControl" app with ADB Tools (Didn't work)
- Tried opening the recovery mode with ADB tools and the wiping the data (didn't work) the device wiped and then booted with the same controlled OS.
Please help. How can I solve this issue? Can flashing a new ROM help in this case? or any other suggestion please let me know.

Ok. So, for flashing ROM I need the following right:
- MediaTek Driver
- SPF Tool
- Official Firmware
- ADB maybe
Can you share some guide that can help me flashing the official ROM in my "Lava Z3". I have already downloaded the Official ROM.
