Hello guys, hope this is the right place.
I have a Bootloader unlocked Huawei Mate 8 NXT-L29, no carrier, Italy. It used to have root permissions (SuperSU) and custom recovery (TWRP), but at some point I decided to update to the newest EMUI with Android Nougat in a Beta but very stable release.
Before doing that, I flashed all stock firmware which I had previously downloaded a copy of using fastboot and it worked. I set the phone up, ran an update which was required to update to Nougat Beta and then factory reset-ed the phone.
Eventually, to get root, I followed a guide that said to flash the correct version of TWRP (worked), open it (worked), flash the Nougat update data zip file. I searched the internet for it and found a zip package that contained two zip files, one of them was called something like "update data only". Since the guide said "data" I only flashed data (which actually goes on the system partition). Once that was done, I flashed phh superuser zip, wiped data and rebooted.
The phone was working... Except that many important system packages were missing (basically all Huawei apps). I had to get through the setup using a USB keyboard, then I headed to playstore and downloaded SwiftKey. Among the apps missing: the file manager, the clock, the themes, health...
So I realized I actually had had to flash BOTH the zip files, not only "data", but instead of flashing it too right away, I went to TWRP and wiped system, data and boot partitions, to start over, with the intention of reflashing all the original Android 6.0 IMGs via fastboot and redoing the update and all. The wiping of system crashed saying that the partition could not be erased.
I plugged the phone in the computer via USB and issued a fastboot flash command to the system partition with the stock ROM image. It failed flashing "sparse image". I tried to at least return to stock recovery; it flashed, but when I tried to open it, it hanged on the "Your device is booting now..." message.
Boot does not seem to flash either.
After flashing back to TWRP, the custom recovery is still working, but the official one or the phone itself are not.
I even tried the dload method:
I formatted an SD Card as MSDOS/MBR with only one, primary, partition with a FAT32 file system. I copied the UPDATE.APP file into a folder called dload, which is the one and only folder on the SD card. Here's what my phone says about it: "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package." above a button to reboot the mobile.
If I try to boot the device it gets stuck on the "Your device is booting now..." line.
Trying bootloader relock from fastboot only spits out an error: "root type is risk". I don't even know what that means.
I really hope there is some way to save my handset, or maybe it's just kissed this world goodbye [emoji26]
ANY kind of help is greatly appreciated! And thank you all in advance.

Hello c|nder, first of all thank you very much for your post. I am a bit confused. Where do I find this "roll back" you mentioned, and how do I flash it/apply it?
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
Search for noughat roll back there will be a few of them, download the one that applies to you example 636 or whatever location the phone is branded and unzip the download and copy the update.App to dload\ on sd card is there is no dload folder make one. After that turn off phone. Press and hold all 3 buttons for 10 seconds it will go into update mode and once finished just download a firmware applicable for ur phone model and update it via update again .
Okay. Will try and let you know in a few minutes

Does Russia/Asia/Middle East/Africa work for Europe, cause it's the only one I found
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
Okay so the Russia one worked, though I had to dig a lot to find the Marshmallow file as Huawei thought it was a good idea to remove all official packages from the site. Now the phone is flashing. I'll update soon, but I believe it's gonna work now!

Phone rebooted and is now on Huawei screen. Has been like this for a while. Is it normal?

THANK YOU!!! THANKS THANKS THANKS! YOU SAVED MY PHONE! A thousand thanks! After factory reset it boots perfectly and all updates work

I installed an app called Chainfire on my LG Optimus L9 last night, which runs on Jelly Bean (a no, no for this app, but I didn't know)) and it stopped booting normally. It turns on fine, but when the LG logo shows up it just stays stuck there now.
I have CWM v6.0.1.2 on there, so I booted into it and noticed that I never did any backups (another no, no.), so it's seemingly of no use to me. I asked a few people on another forum and was told my only option was to do a wipe data/factory reset, which I did. I needed a fresh ROM install, I was told, and I was provided with the following instructions:
There's a guide to clockwork here. If you can't boot the handset into Android, you'll need to access the SD Card within Clockwork. Boot into CWM again and plug the phone into the PC. Within Clockwork, Select Mounts & Storage, then Mount USB Storage. If this works, you should see an external drive appear in your PC.
Leave the phone for now, then head over to here and download the file called LeeDroid HD V3.2.1 (FTP). Once this has downloaded, place the zip file into the root of the phones SD Card. Once copied, go back to the phone again and head back to clockworks main menu. Select Wipe Cache, let it do it's thing, then Wipe Data/Factory Reset (this probably isn't that important). You then want to head to Install zip from SD Card, Choose Zip and then navigate to the zip file you just copied. Select it, then confirm. Let it do it's thing, highlight Reboot Now and it should boot in to Android!

My problem now is in not being able to access or mount USB storage as I have nothing there. I have the phone connected to my PC via USB, but I can't access my SD card.
I think I really screwed up. Is there still anyway to get my phone working again? I'm completely lost here, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Great......I tried tinkering around with some options in CWM and now I can't even get back into CWM during boot. There's no more flashing lights prompting me to enter recovery mode (or whatever it's called) and now the LG logo pops up, stays there for a few seconds and then goes to a screen with an dead looking Android figure lying on its back with a red exclamation point....

try using adb to flash a new ROM and/or recovery. that's a true last ditch attempt at flashing things. it will work. next time, don't use CVM, use TWRP, if it available for your device, and have a backup ROM/ ROM .zip available next time, so this doesn't happen again.

I'm trying to push a stock ROM onto the phone right now with adb using the following command:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
but it keeps returning an error message of "permission denied".
What am I doing wrong?
And I also noticed that I can't boot in to the stock recovery mode either. Whenever I try, it takes me to a screen with an upright Android icon with a blue spinning hexagonal shape, the screen goes black and then it self boots back to the LG logo and stays there or reboots again. So I can't get into recovery mode.....

thanks
My problem solved please admin close this thread
Please!! tell my how you did it. I have the same problem. Greatly appreciated.
I am just bothered by the same problem for days.
did some research in the meantime...it seems only a few other HAM7 owners ended up like we did.
Unfortunately none of them was able to get the phone back to life, even though it's "just" a soft brick.
bro my problem solved after am leave my phone on charger for 3 hours , before always failed but after recharge my phone for 3 hourse its working and make update with no errors
solved!!
Finally I managed to get the device back to life
Here's what I did:
1. get the latest ROM package for your device - this MUST be the ROM you had installed prior to the crash
2. extract the package with Huawei Update extractor
3. flash via fastboot a) the boot.img and b) the recovery.img (take those file from the extracted folder)
4. get a SD Card and put the update.app file into the dload folder in root directory (you have to create dload folder first)
5. put the SD Card into the device and force update via 3-button method (press Vol +, Vol - and Power at the same time)
6. Update should complete now (if you stuck with 90%, try a different ROM - for me it only worked with exactly the same package I've installed prior to the crash)
- That should be it....Can't tell you how happy I am, after 2 weeks I got my beloved Mate7 back.

Force update do not boot via 3 button method and go directly into rescue mode(FUNC_LOAD_IOM3). Is it possible to get my HAM7 life back?

You're sure you have the correct update.app in the dlaod folder of your sd-card? As I wrote before, for me it only worked when I had the exact same update.app (in my case it was the B324 Version).
But see the steps I've done before, I mean I flashed boot and recovery img - which I've extracted from the update package.
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure what finally solved my problem - I just tried to recall the steps I made.

I don't have GEM-701L so I can't be sure the following method will work. I took the method from GEM-703L owners but it worked on my own GEM-702L so if you want to try do it at your own risk and make sure you've your full backups including the stock RECOVERY.img of your GEM-701L current ROM.
1) Download "X2_TWRP_CN_kangvip.rar" from https://yadi.sk/d/5YI63uiAhz5UD/Recovery/TWRP
2) Go into bootloader - check and ensure that your bootloader is UNLOCKED.
3) Make sure you've a backup of your stock RECOVERY.img of your GEM-701L ROM
4) After your bootloader is unlocked, using fastboot enter "fastboot flash recovery twrp_cn.img" where the "twrp_cn.img" is from the .RAR file you downloaded in (1) above
5) Reboot the phone
6) Copy the "Beta-SuperSU-v2.49.zip" file into the root of your phone's internal SD
7) Reboot into custom recovery mode and install the zip file in (6) above
8) If successful, after reboot your phone is already rooted.

Unfortunately if you wish to root then you can't avoid affecting some part of the stock ROM.
totally agreed, actually I want to root just to force the preferred network to LTE only which is not available in android 5.0, while you can select LTE only in mate 7 (4.4.2 as well 5.1.1 )
This method isn't working for the 701 (tried it today).
I assume, the 701-owner need another TRWP-Image
Has somebody a backupded recovery.img from a stock 701?

Which part isn't working ? The custom recovery or the SuperSU install ?
You can extract the stock 701 recovery.IMG from the stock 701 ROM file.
The custom recovery part. I'm able to install, but it isn't possible to boot into recovery (it reboots again).
Thank you for the info about extracting the recovery.img from the stock 701 rom file... i will give it a try.

You may wish to try another alternative custome recovery by "cofface". He specifically created it for X2 (GEM-703L) for Android 5.0.5. This is not the same as the kangVIP custom recovery but I myself was able to reboot into it for GEM-702L but not sure whether it can work on your GEM-701L.

With my other mobile with TWRP I was able to interpret the buttons I had to press... Root is working now!
Curious: It wasn' t necessary to do a wipe, factory reset or something like that.
Unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP is working anyway.

Yes this is Chinese custom recovery.
Go to: https://yadi.sk/d/5YI63uiAhz5UD/Recovery/TWRP/theme
download 1 of the 3 zip files (1 will do you choose your preferred theme color)
rename this as ui.zip
In your internal SD there is a folder TWRP. Create a subfolder named "theme" and place the ui.zip inside "theme" subfolder.
When you next reboot into TWRP you should see English menus.
Great.
With the first file it looks like this
but it's ok for me. One nasty thing: with this design you can't see a swype-to-unlock-button in recovery. But with a little searching you are able to unlock it.
Thanks a lot, this helps a lot of german x2 owner!

Well, I just purchased this device and came here after that to look at what we had and I'm disgusted.
And there are several reasons for that, being:
1 - Locked Bootloader...
2 - This forum seems somewhat abandoned, which leads it to be somewhat disorganized.
EdiT:
Thanks to our friend repey6 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5704037
TWRP 2.8.7.0 is now included, and it works just ok, with all functionality.
I strongly recommend you to use it instead of any other recovery. Just make sure to backup your ROM again after installing it, as CWM or Carliv backups won't work in TWRP.
I replaced the old TWRP included in the attachments with the new one provided by repey6, but the installation process remains the same.
Plus, this was not created by me and it's mad old (2014). But still it works better than the Carliv Recovery we have available here...
So Let's go. The proccess is the same for both, just choose the recovery image you want in the end of the topic.
(almost forgot to say that if your phone bricks it's you responsibility, I tested it in mine and it is working fine)
STEPS:
STEP1- Root your phone (if it's not rooted yet).
To root your phone you'll need to:
a-Download the framaroot APK provided in the attachments
b-Install it then click in the Boromir option and the su binary will be installed.
c-Download SuperSU from google play store.
That's all, simple like that.
STEP2- Check your bootloader's S1 Version
a-Open your dialer and input *#*#7378423#*#* , then go to Service Info>Software Info> S1 Boot Version.
b- Check if yours is 2.14.J.2.6 or 2.14.J.2.13 or 2.14.J.2.16 . If yours is one of these go ahead, it should work just fine and you can proceed.
If yours is 2.14.J.0.68 do not proceed, as it will 100% brick your phone.
c- My phone has S1 Boot Version 2.14.J.1.15 and in spite of the developer having not mentioned anything about it, I risked it all and my phone flashed the recovery normally, so if your version is also 2.14.J.1.15, it should work just fine and you can proceed.
STEP3 - Install the recovery
NOW, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL HERE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE:
a-Download the mobileuncle.apk file provided in the attachments and install it.
b-Download the twrp_xperia_C.img file provided below and put it in your internal memory (not on the external). Rename it to recovery.img, otherwise mobile uncle won't see it.
Now, here's the part you have to mind, so you won't brick your phone.
Mobile uncle can install a recovery using one of two methods. One is by installing the image from your internal memory (which we'll be doing). Other is installing it from the internet.
Now, YOU DON'T WANT to install a recovery from the internet, as mobile uncle doesn't provide any image for your device. So if you flash any of these recoveries, you'll never be able to make your phone boot again.
See in the image below and you'll get what I mean:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
c - So, before proceeding TURN OFF YOUR WIFI AND DATA CONNECTIONS so that mobile uncle won't show any recovery from internet
d-Open mobile uncle.
e-Grant Super User
f-Press "Recovery Update"
g- With wifi turned off, you'll see only your recovery in the screen
h- Click it, the file size of the file I'm posting must be around 6MB ( 6210KB for CWM), if it's different cancel and download file again.
i- press ok and restart.
DONE
:good:
EDIT:
I just noticed that after flashing the recovery you might get your phone stuck in the SONY logo after it.
In fact it happened to me, but just once.
If that happens don't panick. Recove the cover of your phone and besides the SIM-2 slot you'll see a tiny role with the word "reset". Insert a needle in there and your phone will restart normally.

It should work in both, I'm using a recovery for C2305 in my C2304.
Just don't try flashing a C2305 ROM on your C2304. It will not hardbrick your phonw, but the SIM cards will not work and you will get a mad functioning phones.
Some custom ROM's based on stock firmware work in both though.
Hey anyone tried for xc 2305???
So my S1 bootloader version is: 2.14.J.0.68. Is it for sure there is nothing that can be done?

Sorry for the late reply! Haven't been able to test this until recently due to an issue getting my PC to work properly with my phone. Anyway, I would like to confirm that I was able to flash this on my Xperia C2305 that had S1 Boot Version 2.14.J.0.68. The photo below is proof of CWM running on my Xperia C2305:
Things you will need:
WMShua SuperFlash: http://soft.flushrom.com/WMShuaSetup.exe (after installing, you can change the language to English by renaming Program Files/wmshua/language to Program Files/wmshua/language_x)
Xperia C 16.0.B.2.16 FTF: C2305_16.0.B.2.16_TacoNikky.ftf or C2305_16.0.B.2.16_Congngheviet.ftf (pick one; I used TacoNikky's version)
Procedure:
1. Open WMShua, then click on Flash (not Super Flash). Browse to the FTF file you downloaded. You can choose to backup system before flash (I unchecked it on mine). Follow the screenshot below for guidance:
2. Turn off your phone. Next, hold down the Vol- (volume down) button on your phone. While holding down, plug in the micro USB cable. The LED will flash red. When it changes to green, release the Vol- button. WMShua should automatically try to install the needed drivers. After installing drivers, it will begin the flashing process. If your phone turns on instead, simply unplug it from the USB, turn it off, then try again.
The flash process may take a long time (it took 30+ minutes for me), and sometimes it may look like it hanged, but it's actually working. Just be patient. Once it reaches 100%, your phone will automatically boot up. Check your S1 Boot Version—it should now be 2.14.J.2.16. You may find that you've lost root, so you will need to root it again (I use KingoRoot). After rooting, follow the instructions on the first post to install CWM or TWRP. Good luck!
Hello,
I just purchased a Galaxy S7, and want to flash a rom to it to remove some of the Chinese settings and bloat. I've already rooted it (easy part), but I'm unsure about how to proceed. I want to make sure I have a backup of the original FW that I can put back on via Odin if something goes wrong, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for at sammobile. I've attached all the info that I got from Phone INFO app hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I'm most confused about the CSC, as I can't find anything with that same code. And it seems a lot of the others have the same PDA as mine.
For what it's worth, or if anyone can give any advice on customization; I don't care about the DUAL SIM feature (so long as it doesn't affect the microSD card) and would love to get the little "1" next to the phone calls and SMS messages removed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I'm no expert but here's what I believe are your next steps:
1. Using Odin you should install TWRP (for recovery). This is where you will install and uninstall most ROMS, Kernels, etc.
Before using Odin and installing TWRP make sure you unlock the Developer Options and activate USB Debugging and OEM Unlock.
2. With TWRP installed, you can now install any ROM. I suggest you install SupermanROM (it's fantastic and it has OTA updates).
Now for each of those things I've told you make sure you read their long instructions.
I hope you enjoy your S7 and the amazing SupermanRom.

Thank you for the reply. I have already installed TWRP and have all the files needed for Superman. At this point, I want to make sure I have the files needed to flash back to Stock in case something goes wrong. The problem is that I don't know which stock files I need to download.
u can always go back to stock.
1.) download SAMSUNG KIES
2.) open SAMSUNG KIES
3.) click tools , select Firmware upgrade and initialization
4.) Model Name : SM-G930F
5.) your serial #
click OK

I thought I seen somewhere that KIES no longer works after KNOX is tripped? If it does, I would still use 930F even though my model is G930FD?
kies works fine i use it all the time

Internal storage problem
I purchased what shows to be an unlocked Galaxy S7 32Gb (32GB marked on the back of the phone) - Model SM-G930FD - originally T-Mobile.
The phone looks immaculate and shows no physical signs of being opened or tampered with.
I have not put in a new SIM card or taken the phone to be activated on my plan yet. I did put in a 128GB micro card. (Q- I don't assume putting in a SIM card would resolve any of the below issues?)
In settings the phone shows to have 32GB internal storage and recognizes the MicroSD card, but when I connect it to my computer the internal storage only shows 17.5MB available... So obviously when I tried to load the Chrome browser (40+ MB) I got an insufficient memory message. I was hoping it was just reading the available storage wrong.
When I look at Storage under settings it shows that the phone has 32GB internal and 28.15GB available, and it shows 125GB available on the SD Card.
Some of the other info from my About Phone page:
Android Version 6.0.1
Kernel Version:
3.18.14-7162483

I tried resetting the phone and erasing all data and it is still the same.
Phone comes on and seems to run fine.
I can't even flush it, I tried rooting it with kingroot which was success, I installed superuser and twrp app which did not help as it can't find my device name under select your device on the twrp app, and when I try try to navigate the files to flush still no luck as I can't find those zip files.
Also when I try to do it manually by restarting the phone by v+, home and power button to recovery
I can't find install zip, it's just
Reboot system now
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
That's it
So before I put it up on eBay to get rid of it - is there anything I can do to try to release/recognize the internal storage??
Thank you in advance!!
