Hi,
I was on Android N and decided to go back to KangVip Slim trough my TWRP Backup. So i opened the Bootloader again and flashed TWRP. But restoring of my backup failed and i started to wipe and delete in TWRP different things. I think i erased to much...
The result is, that now i the phone is booting to Huawei Logo and stucked there. All button-combinatios don't work.
No stock recovery, no dload method and the worst thing...no bootloader mode (USB connected to PC). The phone just reboot to the Huawei Logo.
I opened the phone, remove the battery cable, put it back, but it's still the same. I also discharged the battery and charged again. Same result, it boots just to the Huawei logo.
Is there any thing i could try to bring back to life or is it hardbricked?
Thanks in advance for any idea..
AL10 or L29,L09 to you have?
With AL10 version is easy to go back.
Install Android N again in Twrp.
Install Stock Recovery.
Go Back with Hi Suite.
Your open your Phone to reboot?
Press Power Button 10 sec. to reboot after reboot press 3 sec. to boot in eRecovery and shot down the Phone.
After Power off press Volume Down and hold and put in the Usb Cable in the Phone.
After this boot in Bootloader.
Flash Twrp for android N and wipe Cache,Dalvik,Data and System.Then flash Android N in Twrp.
Hi,
i have a L29. No TWRP, no bootloader mode to flash anything.
What happens when you switch off,then Power on and Press so long Volume up until the erecovery starts?
This must work!
Nothing, just reboot to the Huawei logo. I think there is no e-recovery installed.

Let me add one more step. Connect your phone to the computer via usb cable then switch off your phone. Press and hold Vol up + Power. Release it when you see Huawei logo.
Hope this will enable you to enter eRecovery.
Good luck
I tried that, but no success..
I think the Mate 8 is the first phone that i have brick...
I have the same issue too. L29. No TWRP, no bootloader mode to flash anything. Hopefully someone can guide us through this
Good news..
After I put the phone aside a few days and the battery has completely discharged, I connected the phone with my PC and tried to get into the fastboot mode.
I tried this before, without success. I was shocked when I saw the bright screen! It was in fastboot mode. I did not expect that. I left it untouched until the battery was charged a little bit.
Then i started to flash the NXT-L29C432B560 Firmware. It wasn't possible to do it with the "dload" method, so installed twrp-3.0.3.img and flashed the firmware with TWRP. For help use: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l29c185b560-official-t3556789.
And now it works fine, like never something happend.
So all of you with same problem: Give it a try.
Now i have two babies.. Mate 8 and Mate 9. I will keep both....:good:
HI i have my mate 8 in the same conditons that you used to! please help me im desperate it doesnt even get on fastboot mode. Please I would appreciate your help thanks

Had this problem with L09. I've been trying to fix it all the week long.
If you can access dload mode, follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate-8-downgrade-android-7-0-to-t3530999
If your phone is not NXT-L09, search for NXT-XXX (XXX= your phone model) rollback. It will surely work.
Hello everybody,
I managed to brick my mate 8 as per the title, honestly thinking why did i even bother, that whole saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." applies here 100%.
So i have been in the NXT-L29C636B180 which i put with the dload method (original was C636B103) and since then everything was good, all except the video camera that is.
So i wanted to try to get to the nougat update (561?) but i read that you need the 211 first. As i couldn't find it i used the android app: firmware finder, and using the proxy method i told basically the system that a new update is up and download it - so this is the update option in the settings..
So after it downloaded NXT-L29C636B211 then it restarted, starting unpacking, and the installation stopped at around 5% when it restarted by it self. And that was it...
I am in a screen where i cannot use the touch, but only the buttons on the side and have the options
"Reboot system now"
"Wipe data/ factory reset"
"Wipe cache partition"
Tried the cache and rebooting, didn't do anything.
Tried wiping, and reboot, then i go in another page
"Huawei eRecovery" where it asks to connect to the wifi and download but then throws an error message "Getting package info failed"
That is pretty much it, i tried putting the update.app in the dload folder in the sd card and tried to use that method but it wouldnt boot that (used the volume + and - and power buttons) but it took me back to one of the above.
Am i out of hope? Is there anything i can do to restore it?
I really appreciate the help.
same problem!

That happened to me too. you will still be able to enter fastboot. plug your phone to your pc and and press and hold the power and volume down. that should take you to the fastboot screen.
find the appropriate twrp recovery for your phone and use the command
fastboot flash recovery "recovery name".img. wait till its done.
press and hold the power and volume down button till the phone reboots. that will takeyou to twrp recovery. there you could either flash b210 or the beta b521 -- which i am on.

Thank you for the response. I will give it a try today after work i am a complete noob so its the first time for me to see what fastboot is, never heard of TWRP, i was always stock so never needed to mess with my phones.
If i recall doing power and volume down while plugged it was taking me to the page i mentioned to wipe the data, reboot or wipe the cache.
I managed to go to the fastboot page on the phone by pressing volume - and then plugging the phone to the pc. Now in the white page on the phone it shows, Phone unlocked in red. Does this mean just it is carrier unlocked?
So do i need to have the bootloader unlocked to do anything here? How do i do that? I cannot buy the code i suppose now since my phone is bricked i will have to go the Huawei way? And how do i do that, i saw a site to create a HUawei ID but in the registration page it didn't mention UK anywhere (where i live), mentioned Hong Kong and other Asian territories. I bought the phone from Wonda mobile, and being the 636 i would think its the asian model anyway.
Regarding TWRP, i didnt install it from before the phone was bricked will i still be able to do what you mentioned? And for the image i need to use, do i need to go to the firmware i was in before (636B180) or the one i tried to go to (636B211)? I can't seem to find the 180 anymore anywhere.
Sorry for the mass amount of questions, trying to sort it i have the phone for less than a year and i am gutted for messing it up like that.

Hello guys. I am having an issue with a Meizu E3 phone. I have received it from a friend a few days before he left the country. It has an issue that after it was booting, it was ending up at a black screen, although the light was coming to the panel. The only operation that I could've to perform was holding the power button and the power off and restart icons would show up. After a few attempts, I was able to update it and everything was back. Now my friend is out of the country so I asked him for the pin for the phone, but he doesn't remember it as he used the fingerprint all the time. And I cannot find a way to factory reset it. I cannot do the volume up/down + power combination because I don't have a wipe option. The only option available is to clear user data BUT it requires the pin ... I can get the phone in fastboot tho, but I couldn't reset from there either. Trying to reset the pin through google account is not going to work because I can't connect it to the internet (as you need the pin to turn the wifi on or the mobile data).
Do you got any suggestions?
UP!

You've tried the "fastboot format userdata" command but it isn't working?
If the stock firmware is available for the device, try flashing the stock firmware.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have tried to format/erase userdata and everytime it says "FAILED (remote: Erase is not allowed in Secure State)"
Could you tell me how can I flash the stock firmware on it? Because the only option I have for it in the bootloader is to upgrade the firmware.
I have a package flashing with Qualcomm 9008 mode,link is here. https://mega.nz/#!4YdmyIwJ!QpximadRwxdajGZPj-y91iozBvqNCZloL8FlEQPizIc
btw,in the first time, I flashed it in a wrong way, and now it lost it's SN, how can I restore it ?
Could anybody unlock bootloader with this package?
Hello,
I've rooted my Pixel 3 as described here in the forum.
Everything went well and I was booting in TWRP without any problems; Bootloader is still unlocked. I didn't installed a custom ROM or anything else. After I've selcted "restore backup" my backup (which I've made before with TWRP) my phone is now messed up:
It's starting in Bootloader (Warning Screen for unlocked Bootloader) and than is switching on an white screen with Google logo for ca. 3-4 sec. and than it's jumping back into the Bootloader in an endless Loop.
Any idea what I can do to rescue my phone?
Thanks, Mags

In bootloader mode can you get your computer to recognize the phone. If so, download the latest update from Google website and install using adb. This will wipe the phone but will get it restored. I've had to do this in my pixel 2 before. I don't have the pixel 3 yet as I just ordered it today.

You can also edit the flash-all file to remove the -w and not completely wipe your phone. This way, your data will remain and it still resets the important factory stuff.

Hold down the power button until the phone completely shuts off. Hold power while holding the volume down button (start by holding the volume down and then immediately start holding the power button - it's is technically holding both at the same time but starting with volume down just a moment before keeps you from pressing power first). That should get you to fastboot.

ADB doesn't work when booted to the bootloader. It only works when you're booted to the OS. To see if the computer recognizes the phone when in the bootloader, use fastboot devices instead of adb devices.

Holding the power button didn't had any effect, but holding volume - and holding power button at the same time was starting the bootloader and so I was now able to start TWRP Manager.
So if you could help me from here to fix the OS would be great, e.g. is there any chance to copy the original OS from Google or an custom ROM from my computer (e.g. I wotk on MAC and is there a way to copy via Terminal?) or does TWRP offers any way to reset/ reinstall?

Sorry, but I do not know the Mac commands, but if you are in Fastboot and the device shows/connects it is just a matter of running the flash-all and resetting. If you are not connecting in Fastboot but can get into TWRP, I would start with a reset in TWRP.

The commands on the MAC are almost the same and with your flash-all (flash.all.sh Mac Command) it worked very well with the factory image from google. Now I'm back in the race and my P3 is running again.

Excellent news. On another note... if all you need from TWRP is to install Magisk to root, you do not need to permanently install TWRP. Just fastboot boot the [twrp].img file, install the Magisk .zip and keep stock recovery.
From messing around, it seems that trying to restore system from twrp is messed up. Data backup works fine. The only other way I got bootlooped was by messing with boot, vbmata, and vendor partitions. Out of those three, I think boot is the most likely to get messed up by normal users. I know this is sorted now, but in the future try to just reflash boot.img and see if it boots.
-The vbmeta and vendor thing is specific because I need to get the radio to work here.
After rooting my smartphone, I turned it off and on again, and it booted up infinitely. I was embarrassed and touched this and that, then went to wipe->advanced wipe menu and accidentally changed the system file. After that, my smartphone doesn't work at all. I'm posting this because I wanted to know how to turn on this smartphone, so I hope someone who knows about this part will reply.
(OEM seems to have turned off as the OS disappeared when I judged it.)
So can you boot into anything? Try all button combinations possible.
Or it is just black screen without a single text no matter how ?

Now all of a sudden, a lightning bolt icon appears on the black screen, which appears to be charging.
Do not unplug your phone. Press and hold the Power key and the Volume down key simultaneously for more than 7 seconds. As soon as the screen goes black hold down Volume Down + Volume Up for a few moments.

The power button and the volume bottom button were pressed at the same time and pressed for 7 seconds or more. The smartphone was turned off. Since I used TWRP in this state, I have been routed using the powerward button and the power button to move the powerward button and the power button for a long time to move the BACKUP entry, and the system image is displayed, but the system is displayed as 0 MB. And if you try to reboot, the NO OS Installed error will be opened and you want to install the TWRP app, and Failed to Mount / System (No Such Devices) Error appears. Now this is the symptoms of my smartphone.

First, I asked you to go to download mode. How do I have since that? (OEM seems to be forcibly turned off when the OS itself is gone. I turned on the routing before.)
You are in twrp now, but shows system as 0mb?

No. With OEM locked, even if your phone is locked as tight as bill gates's wallet, you can still boot into download mode. However You can only flash stock ROM in that case. This is the definition of OEM lock: you can flash, but cannot flash anything except stock rom.
You must not be meaning OEM lock.

Although I am looking for information on the Internet, it seems that a program called Odin is necessary for Samsung phones. The internet says that you can upload the genuine firmware, but is there any other way to upload this genuine firmware other than using Odin? And what should I do if my smartphone is not recognized?

When I enter reboot from twrp, four items are displayed on my smartphone: system, power off, recovery, and download. If you go to system, the Galaxy A8 logo is displayed and it stops, and if you go to download, it goes into download mode.
The bootloader entry is not visible.

1. Then request phone's Stock ROM directly from Samsung.
2. As you were already told flashing a phone's Stock ROM doesn't require phone's bootloader is unlocked.
You reported you have flashed TWRP successfully: this means your phone's bootloader got successfully unlocked.
Take note that TWRP is used to flash Custom ROMs.

For odin and usb drivers just search

Odin doesn't seem to recognize my phone. Since the USB driver is a Samsung phone, I downloaded and installed the Samsung integrated USB driver. Yet it is not recognized. Download mode is now in the state.

I'm still a beginner, so I don't know how to flash custom roms or anything like that. Is there a way to flash a custom rom or original firmware using TWRP? Now, it enters the download mode and waits for it to be recognized by Odin, but it is still not recognized by Odin.
Does it usually take a long time for the smartphone to be recognized by Odin?
Do you have other phone? Is the cable good and transfering files?
