Nougat Twrp/Root Gone Wrong - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I installed TWRP but I think I may have followed a step incorrectly. I reformatted my data, but now I'm missing all of the stock huawei apps, including the keyboard. Any idea on what I may have done incorrectly or have an idea on how I could fix this?

Trouble with Mb865. Need your help !

Hello, everyone. I've got a trouble with my at&t atrix 2. I've cm10 onboard and when I tried to flash another rom on it I found that nothing changes. Reading similar problem threads I realized that the problem is in NAND, which is in R/O mode. And every change in internal storage restores after the phone reboot. Does anyone have a solution for this ? Plz help.

The problem is probably in NAND-flash. It is in read-only mode because of an error, I guess. So I can noy boot into BMM recovery. Maybee it will be easier to replace mainboard from anoter A2 ?

IMEI Unknown

Hi guys! I've looked all around and tried the fixes that people recommended, which is basically going back to stock.
So this is what happened to my brother's phone:
Was using the phone and all a sudden the phone freezes (He was on Android L) and he rebooted it. After rebooting, the phone went into bootloop. He downloaded some program that supposedly fixes softbrick and bootloop (by flashing stock ROM) Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.7.
The phone was fixed.. Kinda.. He couldn't get any cell signal. Turns out his baseband and IMEI read unknown. He has the box the phone came in, to we know the physical IMEI number.
Is there a fix for this? I've tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/lost-imei-please-help-t2529103 but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Hey! I was reading on a thread where you helped someone fix their phone!
Did a stock flash do it for them? I got the factory images and ran the flash-all scrip and still nothing.

Also check if wifi mac address is changing after each reboot. Corrupted persist partition can cause problems like that and also other things like crasing apps
Check out my thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576. It worths a try. If it does not help then you have to buy a new motherboard or claim your warranty if you have any.

Then it is up to you what are you going to do with the persist partition. You will lose nothing but time by formating the persist partition. If it not fix your problem then you have to buy a new motherboard for the phone to make phone calls either way because you dont have any efs backup.

[Q] Root (partially) gone after 5.1 update

Hi guys,
my setting was: rooted 5.0 but stock bootloader (I think). Now I want to update to 5.1 and followed the instructions in this post. Also I flashed TWRP and the current SuperSU.
Now, SuperSU tells me that
No su-file is installed and SuperSU isn't able to install one
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
RootChecker tells me that
Sorry! Root access is not properly installed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But with ES File Explorer I can access / and all of its subfolders.
So it seems, that my phone is still kind of rooted but there's so su-file. Any hints how I can fix that?
Furthermore, the preferences crash when I try to open the Language and Input section. Everything else works flawlessly.

Thanks, but this will not only wipe the phone but I will also loose root, right? With this you imply that I can't recover root and solve this Languages and Input issue without wiping and re-rooting?

You can flash just system.img. You will not loose any data and rooting again is not such a deal. There are too many dependences to discover what actually went (still is) wrong.

Alright. Thanks for the help.
Just to be clear: I just flash the system.img from 5.1 like I've done before? And would you be so kind as to point me to a tutorial on how to re-root without wiping?

Alright, I re-flashed the systems.img and the current SuperSU zip (seems like I used an older one before) and root is back
The preferences section "Languages and Input" is still crashing though.
Edit: Nevermind. I had to enable the Google Keyboard, now everything is fine.

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

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.
