I already wrote something like this in a similar thread, but for another device (read the device name wrong), so I thought i should post it in the right place.
I have been playing too much with stuff that i probably shouldn't have been so hasty about. So i have finally arrived here on the ERROR MODE (with unstoppable boot loop), which looks exactly like the bootloader only it says ERROR MODE instead of whatever, where i can't get into any other type of recovery or fastboot mode, no matter what button combinations i do. I previously could get to the fastboot mode, but i was still stuck so..... I made the very wise choice of relocking (since i hadn't tried that) my device, and now I can't even access fastboot (nothing. tried every button combination i can think of). So I am sitting here wondering if this is the end of the journey with my... relatively new phone... So, yes. No way of accessing anything and my phone is in a reboot loop i can't stop. Only thing is the error code i get "ERROR!":
"Func NO : 16 (lpm3 image)"
"Error NO : 1 (security verify failed!)"
Is there hope? or no?
Also noticed the light flashes green 3 times then red 1, then continues this pattern. Idk if that's useful or not.
Here's a pic.
It doesn't seem to have fastboot connection here, either.
OP were you ever able to fix this issue?
@Kimuchuu its not clear from OP had you relocked your bootloader if yes then you cant modify your system you need to have unlocked bootloader inorder to perform system modifications.
Ah. Yes, unfortunately I relocked it. I ended up sending it to service with no hopes of getting it back working, but they sent me a brand new one. So that's that.
I guess I was lucky, but really there was not a single thing I could do at that state.
You can be really happy that they sent you a new one, but it's not a unique case, in CZ there were few people who had same or similar issue and Repair service gave them new phone too.

You got lucky they sent you a new one considering that you messed up the previous one. Take good care this time.

I also had this problem, trying to screw around and force a ota update via flash fire onto a modified system... Reached rhe same sddor mode, luckily I was able to manually flash all the partitions back to stock using ADB and finally once all partitions were back in order it allowed me to enter recovery mode and download and install system software threw recovery... Took me about 4 days of non stop tinkering to finally get it working again, I had all but lost hope in all honesty... Thankfully I was persistent and all is well now!

Recovery is the one which installs ota updates . Erecovery is an emergency recovery. It can help u restore ur phone to previous version by flashing full original firmware
I got it back to work....
I dloaded the rollback update.app
and then the real stock software
I think the thing that saved me was that i flashed stock recovery before having the glorious idea of relocking the bootlaoder.
So for anybody:
If ur device is not working DO NOT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER

yup thats the main point if you are not fully stock and soft bricked you are not advised to lock your bootloader. Once you locked your bootloader you can no more modify your system.

Hi all , just joined xda-developers but i spend straight 14 hours trying to fix this DAMM photon q yesterday
all i got in the end is a normal boot after following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001108
BUT at the startup , the screen comes like for a millisecond and then this " starting services" logo doesn't go at all...it just continues forever
any help would be appreciate .
Can you explain what your setup is, and exactly what you've done to get where you are?
For example, you were bootloader official unlocked, on CWM and asa-10, etc.
Thanks.

I thought my question was pretty straightforward. Unless you provide more detail, I don't know how anyone will be able to help you.
Is this a stolen device? Why is it not qualified for the official unlock? Either way, how does that play into what's wrong with the device?
Did you have custom recovery on it? Give some details!!!

i think i am a noob at explaining things but let me try again...i don't know the exact history of this phone , my friend gave it to me yesterday and its not stolen ... he paid his insurance every month but then who know what he did... i have no idea why its not qaulified for the official unlock probably because he bought a new phone on the same line so the company deactivated this phone..
ok so when i got the phone yesterday , the bootlocker logo appeared and i was unable to do anything ...then i installed CWMrecovery and it was successfull and then i installed every possible rom available online as far as i know but same thing happened with all of them ..... successfully installed , it reboots and little square thing saying " starting services..." and then it does not go away at all ... but at the same time i am able to bring the top menu ..and go to the settings and everything from there but i can't go to home screen since ...it is black and is occupied by "starting services.."
so finally i came accross this thread for master reboot and i followed it ....i installed TWRrecovery and made backup and then restored a backup providers by that guy ... i flashed new stock recovery after that... so following his thread , he told that if all went successful ... it will return to original stock
and now i am at the same screen as previous... " starting serivces..." my friend told me he tired to root it and he messed up really bad ..so i believe there is still some old files in the internal storage from previous rom versions.... but i deleted everything......wiped, data facotry reset and then
installed a clean backup provided by the thread starter...... and everyone else had success except me ...
i hope i answered your questions if not .. i would aprreciate if you tell me what exactly you want to know ..... thanks
i also tired every US ROMS from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/asanti_c/list.php
and all of them showed " starting services.." after i installed them from sdcard using CWMrecovery.

Hi!
Long story short:
My Huawei Mate 7 just got bricked due to the Lollipop update. I tried pretty much everything and googled practically all the possible fixes. No help at all. At first my problem was kind of a soft brick. My phone was just stuck on the boot loop. I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682979 but I get this while trying to flash BOOT/RECOVERY remote: command not allowed (or something along those lines). I think the problem might be still locked bootloader. And I cannot even unlock it (tell me how if you know).
After that I tried install the stock firmware with power+volume up+volume down -method. First time it started it correctly and got 5% through. It stayed there for about 15mins and then crashed. Now I cannot get it into the installation anymore. It just hangs on the Huawei logo (without constantly booting). Otherwise, when stuck on the boot loop, it plays sometimes (every 10th boot or something) about half of the Huawei boot song and then just abruptly stops (if this helps identifying the problem). And I still can get into recovery/download mode.
Thanks in advance, if someone kind person knows what to do.
edit: It wont go go into force install -mode if sd card is installed. Otherwise, yes.

So you mean by using the fastboot -software? I can't since my bootloader is locked. I've tried. Please, enlighten me if you know something I don't.
I've already tried the Update Extractor and I tried flashing the recovery and boot; "remote: command not allowed". I still haven't tried other images apart from the two I mentioned but I doubt that they will success. i'll still give it a try.

Okay. How am I going to unlock the bootloader? As I've understood I should TURN ON the phone and dial *#*#1357946#*#* to get an 8 digit pin or something. And it's stuck in bootloop. And that PIN I should use on https://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail or something.

I spent that past two days rooting and flashing the one rom I could. Had to ignore some Chinese. I am USA 567B167. Got into trouble a number of times. This phone is funky compared to all the rooting I have done. I booted into erocovery, downloaded stock 2GB, wiped and was back to current stock without issue. It bootlooped if I didn't hard reset and wipe cache.

yes. I did it twice. that is how many times I got into trouble and was the only solution. It worked great as it gives you the ability to log into wifi with a keyboard present to put in the password, then downloads the stock current rom and flashes it. You have to format data and wipe cache yourself.

Erecovery only work for Chinese firmware.
Use the guide above and yes you can receive ota.
I also received the same message. Getting into recovery was inconsistent for me even with TWRP. Sometimes it would do the auto downloaded and fail thing and other times it would go into TWRP. You need to get where you have three choices and pick erocovery and push the start button. This brings up the restore ability. Worked perfect on the USA model.

Completely positive. It happened by accident because I got in a bad place with HRT rom. Came out completely stock and current when no upgrade need. Then I rooted stock and somehow lost gapps including keyboard. Did it again and back to stock. All in erecovery. No other programs or files. It did a 2.5GB download, flashed in Emui and rebooted like when I bought it.

Sorry for the no noob question: I just got my mate 9 and unlocked bootloader and rooted it. Recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-2.
Where do i find this erecovery? Couldn't see any download option in TWRP and even Google didn't know that term. Could anybody please explain step by step how to revert to stock (for the only sake of getting OTAs) once the phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted using the method from xda with modified boot.img?
Or is it even possible to take OTAs while being rooted with system read only? On my previous phone, the Asus Zenfone 2 this was possible.
Thanks a lot

Thanks for the quick answer. Let me clearify what I understood : this erecovery is available only on the PC?
So basically I wait in rooted state until I receive the next OTA, don't take it but switch off the phone.
Then connect it to the PC and boot it up by holding the volume up + power key.
Then what happens exactly?

Thanks for the quick answer. Let me clearify what I understood : this erecovery is available only on the PC?
So basically I wait in rooted state until I receive the next OTA, don't take it but switch off the phone.
Then connect it to the PC and boot it up by holding the volume up + power key.
Then what happens exactly?

Booting the phone while plugged and with volume up will take you to erecovery on ur phone.
There you connect to wifi and the firmware get downloaded into ur phone

Ah ok, this erecovery is still available on my phone even if I already flashed a custom recovery, right?
Then after downloading the firmware, erecovery will flash it and overwrite root and lock my bootloader again, correct?

Hi,
I have installed TWRP and OpenKirin RROS rom, but not satisfied, so I'm looking for how to
relock bootloader, and return to stock EMUI.
My google skills seems to be lost today, as I cant find anything on how to restor the phone.
Anyone here that maybe can help me ?
EDIT: cant pass "your device has been unlocked" ... cant reach anything in the phone, only get bootloop
Best regards

Have you tried reflashing through erecovery?

The thing is, only thing that happen with any button combo is the blue honor screen, no more.
But I have started a ticket at huawei, to see what they say, but i guess it's service.

After flashing OpenKirin, and not being satisfied, all i did was following the steps to restore
the phone back to stock, flashed original recovery, locked the bootloader, but after all was
done and it was time to reboot, all i got was the blue honor screen, and nothing worked.

Do this now:
Boot to fastboot and unlock bootloader
Then flash TWRP latest version
Then flash the B380/381 firmware zip files with the hw zip file before the update.zip
It should now boot properly and you can relock bootloader after that if you want to.

I encountered this too. Have you tried wiping data in recovery?

Just shut down your phone then while holding the volume down button connect the cable to your phone. If it still doesn't work try changing cables. You surely can enter fastboot mode regardless of what you have done.

That's bad. You might wanna consider the service center.

@Anonshe: tried four different cables, same thing happens. @adriansticoid: I have a open ticket at huwaei, to see what they have to say, and I guess it will be service.

Now I come so far that the bootloader is unlocked again and twrp installed.
But I can't find B380 zip files, but maybe i'm blind or have bad google skills after having problems
with the phone a few days

You can install a custom ROM for the moment so you can use your phone. I'll search for it later I'm just a bit busy right now.

after update experienced problem with BLOD.
after freezing I've managed to boot but for short time.
is there any fix that available like for nexus6p and nexus5x?
Can you get to fastboot/bootloader?
yes, except bootloader locked. can't get enough time to unlock it in settings
Tried to boot recovery from bootloader? I believe it's possible to flash a full ota image with lock bootloader, but someone correct me if i am wrong.
Cheers

thanks for suggesting, but it wouldn't fix the phone. in order to get to recovery i still have to heat up phone to start appropriately

yes, the phone reboots before finish
So, it is heating when you try booting bootloader and then recovery?
Sent from my Google Pixel using XDA Labs
yep, it won't start without heating
So it's heating itself even when booted to only bootloader?
That's very weird, never heard of that before.
When that's the case, maybe it's time for a replacement
Any warranty left maybe?

Bro, i also have the same problem as OP. I am able to reach recovery and i also did a OTA flash but the device is still bootlooping. Presently, I am trying to flash a factory image but my device's bootloader is locked and i cant turn on OEM unlock from developer options as its greyed out and unpressable.
Please help me in flashing the factory image, the phone has no passwords or google account signed in atm.
Thanks in advance, I will be waiting anxiously for ur reply.

If it's bootlooping, how did you see OEM unlock is greyed out?

I have 2 Pixels that both have the same symptom. I was lucky enough to get them to boot so I could unlock the bootloader, but flashing the factory image didn't make any difference. Based on what I've seen on the Google forums, it appears some of theses devices have faulty memory which is most likely the cause of the bootloop. Both of mine have Samsung memory. I'd be curious if your device does as well.

It boots up sometimes for 2-3 mins, reaches the lockscreen etc, i can get to the settings and turn on dev tools and then i see thats its greyed out. Within 2-3mins, the device restarts again

Yes, in the bootloader its written that mine also has samsung memory. Is this repairable? have you gotten yours working?

Do you have a Verizon pixel maybe? Cause OEM unlock should not be grayed out, even with locked bootloader.

No, neither device is reliable or usable. Sometimes after it's been off for a while, it will power on and be functional for a short period of time. If the memory is faulty, then I believe the motherboard has to be replaced which isn't worth the cost of the repair. I may contact google support and see if they may give me a trade in credit for a pixel 2 or 3.
my pixel turned out to be verizon, i was able to unlock bootloader and flash a factory image.. The problem still exists. Bootloops are still happening:crying:

Yep. Same issue here. Our devices are likely paperweights I'm afraid.
Can confirm, I woke up to an infinite bootloop this morning after applying the December security patch. Seems to be a hardware issue that just kills the phone.
Have you guys have tried to cool the phone down like putting it on top of an ice bag with saltwater, like a zip lock bag, give it a minute on top of the brine and then try? Should give you some time until you can get into the rom and tap the unlock button?
