So guys, I installade on my Chinese Version le 1s an India Version via SP-Flash.
So after flashing half of the screen got blue, my dad told me its because those roms and the version dont get together along.
I cant go to fastboat mode, only recevory or normal booting.
I´d like to have a Chinese Rom, that I can flash via SP Flash tool.
I cant go on the original chinese site cuz I cant connect there.
Pls help me Im new to flashing
did you find how to fix it.
half blue screen issue
Yesterday, I had also had the same issue. This is due to incompatible rom. In my case, the flashed rom was 5.5.014_Le_X509_Stock_Rom. So, after hours of struggle finally, I solve the issue. Now my phone is working fine. May be my experience will help you.
Following are my steps to solve the problem:
1. Download the Eui 5.8 019s offline update ROM(please make sure it is official and compatible with your phone).
2. Add ROM to internal storage.
3. Rename ROM to update.zip
4. Now power off phone and go to recovery(power+vol up)
5. Clear cache
6. Update ROM.
7. Device might take some time to boot. But the problem will be fixed.
Regards,

Hello, I have half stuck with my phone's flashing, I already got everything done what is required, like rooting and such, but I somehow can't get the phone to flash the new rom from the SD card.
As I push the call+volume up+poweron buttons I get into the recovery section, where I got these options : Restart (obvious what it does), apply sdcard:update.zip(idk what this suppose to be, it not responds at all), then the 2 wipe section for chace and the full factory rest option and such, but when I do all the steps required I can't get it to load the new ROM, and just goes on with the old one, nor it has any option to flash it from the sdcard for some strange reason.
Anyone got any ideas how I would be able to fix this issue or I messed up somewhere?
Thx.

Hey guys,
Have had my Honor 6 H60-L02 FDD-LTE for little under 4 hours now
Already unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM V.6.0.5.1
I installed the MIUI v4.9.6 Rom and i don't really like it, it keeps coming up saying com.android.phone has stopped, and when you update to v4.12 it gets stuck in a boot loop
So I don't think MIUI is very stable for the phone, and I want to install EMUI v3.0 (This isn't lollipop yet is it?)
Long story short, I figure i have to reflash the stock recovery firmware because CWM wont install an Update.App file
I downloaded the Honor 6 Multitool
When i get to install recovery, i choose my honor 6 model then it asks for EMUI 2.3 or 3.0, i tried all the 3.0's and they dont load the recovery, just go back into android
so i tried some of the EMUI 2.3's, i have no idea what each number at the end represent and which one suits my phone... i.e B118SP02?
So that is what stage im at, i have MIUI v4.9.6 with CWM V.6.0.5.1
And i am trying to install EMUI v3.0 stable
Any help would be pretty awesome, can say im slightly disappointed with the availability of roms for this phone, but hopefully this will change in the future
Ok ...
i will start from beginning , i will tell you how to get the last stable update for your phone .
witch is B310【EMUI3.0_Android4.4】.
First Download it from here it's 1GB .
or from here (you should translate it first and click on stable and download) .
Second continue with this link .
Attention : Do step 6 before 5 .
Or go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57274153&postcount=1
scroll down to: 3 Button Restore not working (If you change between variant example L02>L12) Or Partition been changes and cannot restore back Stock version. Use this steps below : -
Links to the revert package etc are in the post too
Tried Myahyam's method and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop (shows the honor, powered by android splash, goes black then repeats the splash)
need to unbrick the damn thing now
im following the honor 6 multitools unbrick method, its in fastboot transfering files now, will report back when its done.
Just out of curiosity, besides MIUI and EMUI, what other roms are available to flash using CWM or TWRP?
Okay, managed to get CWM back on and sideload the MIUI4 rom again, just to prove to myself that I didn't brick my phone, so that parts all good!
I will have to try your method another time Julsen, i fly out on a 3 week holiday tomorrow morning, and want to load some games and movies to the phone to watch on the plane.
Hopefully when I come back in 3 weeks, there will be a better choice of roms to install using CWM/TWRK
If not, I will attempt your method Julsen, at least i now know how to fix any softboot/bootloop problems, good learning experience all up!
Here u will find couple of custom roms flashable via cwm

Hey all, back from my 3 week trip
@nrpetonr i went to that site and grabbed two roms to flash using CWM, they both seem to put it into a boot loop
This phone is strange really, ever since i have unlocked the bootloader and put on a custom rom, its been the only rom that has worked, the rest all put me into a bootloop
Maybe i should try TWRP instead
Hello
I use a ROM with XT897 CM10.2.1 and SIM MOD CornholioGSM since July 2014, it was working fine.
I flashed the ROM-cm-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E 12.1-20150901-xt897 (RELEASE) one month ago and the ROM worked well. A week ago, the phone was much slower, I turn off reboot and since it constantly!
I made the following transactions with TWRP:
- Reset factory
- Flash ROM (cm 12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E-xt897)
- Flash ROM (BlissPop-v4.0.1-xt897-OFFICIAL-20150917-1514)
- Flash recovery (cm 12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23E-xt897-recovery.img)
- Flash TWRP
- Flash ROM (cm 12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO339-xt897)
Always the same, I have the boot logo and the logo of the ROM and the phone reboots.
The ROM (CM12.1) has started once and then restart the phone has rebooted repeatedly.
I tried with or without a SIM card.
I do not understand where does the problem, can you help me?
Well not having the phone in front of me, I don't really quite understand the issue myself - however, I would suggest using RSD Lite and one of the FXZ files to flash everything (including recovery) back to stock.
If you still have issues, there is a bigger problem (likely hardware failure).
Hello
sorry if my explanation was not clear.
I added a photo which shows the two steps in the operation of my phone.
Step 1: Start the phone .
Step 2 : boot ROM CM12
The Step 2 lasts 23 seconds then return to Step 1 and Step 2 and Step 1, Step 2 infinitely .
I hope this is understandable .
I read on the forum that used some RSD Lite but as I had not used for the ROM installation, I did not understand why use .
I'm a new user, i can't post picture, I send link by PM, thanks.
I thought my last post made it clear what purpose RSD Lite and the FXZ files are - they restore the phone to stock completely - ROM, recovery, everything will be reset to when it was stock from the factory (granted it may be a newer image than what shipped on the phone, but you get the point).
Again, as I stated previously, if you still have issues after flashing everything stock your issue is likely not software, but hardware.
I searched the forum about RSD Lite. Now I understand its usefulness.
I used RSD Lite to flash the ROM asanti_c_sprint-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5-6-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip
My phone had with SPRINT .
The flash went well but unfortunately I still have the same problem :
Step 1: unlocked bootloader screen
Step 2: The red M MOTOROLA
Step 1, Step 2 , .....
Is there another test or I can consider it a hardware problem ?
Hardware problem can come out of the MODSIM ? I use a SIM card in the phone for 16 months.

The hardware issue is likely not related to the SIM modification. As to what exactly has failed, I'm not sure... perhaps the NAND or something else memory related.

Thank you for your help.
I think it remains for me to search for a motherboard for photon Q.
Long life in the forum!
Use "borrowed" TWRP recovery image.

I had a similar incident a few days ago. I have a hard time stopping myself from pushing the limits. Usually I stop when it's broken. I tried RSD Lite, SDB sideload/ flash, zip install from recovery, fastboot(mine's dead), all with no luck.
Any how, If you have CWM, temporarily change to TWRP. If you already have TWRP it's easier.
XDA has a TWRP recovery image in the forum. Put that in your sdcard (I had to paste it from my computer because my xt897 was soft bricked). Flash from TWRP.
Worked fom me. got my phone back after 1 week of flashing everything and then some.
Good luck.

Hello
thank you for this new information.
I tried it and it worked with the ROM [PQ_ICS-Stock] but only with that one!
I tried the ROM [PQ_JB-421] , several Cyanogen ROM but still the same looping boot problem.
I tried several version of TRWP without success .
I do not understand why my Photon Q only works with this ROM [PQ_ICS-Stock] .
Is still a motherboard problem ?
Hello everyone
I'm going crazy !
As I had not managed to solve my problem, I ordered a mainboard on ebay.
Today I realized the SIMMOD on this new board.
when I restarted phone the same startup problems with the ROM SPRINT !
I unlocked the bootloader .
I installed TWRP 2.7.1.2
I installed CM12.1-20151219 - NIGHTLY - XT897
Still the same problem starting loop.
Someone an idea ?

If you can't RSD Lite, something is up. Either you are not doing the process correctly, or there is something wrong with the device (still).
Perhaps you were always on ICS and never made the official jump to JB? You say you can RSD Lite to an ICS version, just not a JB version? So 4.0.x works but 4.1.x does not?
Again I'm talking stock. If stock doesn't work, I wouldn't even attempt CM. Start with the basics, then work your way towards the aftermarket.
I agree that if the stock rom does not work after the installation with RSD Lite is that it remains something (software) .
The first motherboard I used 12.1 CM for several months it is that the phone supports android 5.1
I agree that it must abort running a stock ROM before flashing a ROM CM. But the ICS ROM STOCK works!
It is possible that I did not do the process correctly .
What surprises me is that the second board had the same problem with the ROM SPRINT !
I will do other tests.

This is the part that makes me think you are perhaps missing some step in the process somewhere.
Can you RSD Lite to ICS? Not flash it with TWRP. If that is successful, try to RSD Lite to the latest JB again.
I modified the second motherboard ( mod sim card ) and I started the phone with the ROM SPRINT and I got the boot problem repeatedly.
the common point of two motherboards is that they both have a bad ESN .
I will do other tests.

Bad ESN shouldn't prevent booting... it would prevent you from activating the device on the Sprint network, but I would imagine you don't care about that...

I used RSD Lite 6.1.6 for flashing the ROM [ 2014-03-09 - TSv2 ] but the process has blocked after the flash.
Here is what I did :
1- run RSD Lite
2- Start the phone in FASTBOOT mode.
3- usb phone connection to PC
4- opening of the ROM [ 2014-03-09 - TSv2 ] and "uncompress and start flashing"
5- flash goes well
6- the phone reboots => Logo M red => telephone reboot => Logo M red => again ....
7- RSD Lite waits for the restart ... [ it waits again, LOL ]
8- I turned off the phone and I unplugged.
9- I turned on the phone who start properly, I arrived at the language selection screen .
The ROM is an android version 4.0.4 , I think you know this ROM .
Why the process with RSD Lite has blocked the phone to reboot ?
That's what I did wrong in the process?
I have read many forum post, I tried several methods but only in the ROM 4.0.4 STOCK work. Flashed with RSD lite or restoration of a backup with TWRP.
I have the bootloop problem using RSD Lite 6.2.4 for ROM 4.1.2 CSPIRE or ROM 4.1.2 SPRINT. No error message of RSD lite. No error message of phone.
I've modified the XML file but it changed nothing.
Same problem using TRWP with custom ROM or restoration of a backup ROM4.1.2 JB.
Same problem using OPEN RECOVERY 209 with custom ROM.
Where is the problem ?
I would use CM12 ROM.

Without having the device in my hands, it's hard to say for sure. The only difference I can see you are doing differently from me is using a newer version of RSD. I doubt that would be an issue, but may want to try other RSD versions.
In the end, I suppose if 4.0.4 works, use that...
Thank you for you help.
I'll buy a other PHOTON Q on EBAY.
I do other test with the new PHOTON Q.
Hello
I received my new q photon.
It is version 4.1.2
I unlocked the bootloader .
I made a backup with TWRP and OPEN_RECOVERY_209 .
I tried an installation of 3 different ROM but I have an error message !
I do not understand where does the problem ?!
Is this a bad version of TWRP or ROM ?
Hi guys, I have a problem with a one plus one that can't exit from bootloop.

You don't give much detail as to what happened or what you were doing prior to your bootlooping. I suffered from a bootloop that took me several months to finally resolve on the very device I'm responding to you with. I was able to resolve it by installing the latest Oxygen OS from the OPO forums. I followed the directions exactly, then after booting into Oxygen it turned out that my WiFi and Bluetooth were refusing to turn on. After several attempts and force close reboots I was able to get them to function. Then I reinstalled TWRP, then flashed CMOS12, then finally CM which I'm using now. BTW for more detail look for my post about it in this forum. Hope this helps.

Do you have a backup? try restoring just the system and the data of your backup.. i used to flash the boot too but as far as i know flashing boot doesn't solve the issue (still bootloop-ing). if you are still in bootloop and really have no idea, try consider a full reset of your phone (all except your custom recovery, ofc) and flash a new flashable.zip rom.. (data+media also wiped) you can always copy files to your phone while in recovery by mounting a usb drive, in case you don't have a zip on your phone. of course, this is not the solution, and is not recommended, but take this as your last choice if any other method didn't work
hope it helps!

I dont have a backup, so i also tried yet everything you said. I dont have to save datas, so i flashed everything new, but still dont work. I also tried to flash everything from oneplusrecoverytool that in any difficult situations helped me, but in this case it did not worked. Is there any radical solution to get this Phone working? (i can install twrp and reach fastboot, but after installing something, it's always in bootloop. ?
i have the same problem , don't know what to do , i even used the tool to return to stock
maybe an overheat problem? i don't know
Gentlemen, please try the method I suggested above in my response. Go to the OPO forums and follow the procedure to switch to Oxygen OS exactly as they lay out. As long as you're unlocked and can get to the bootloader and recovery you aren't hard-bricked and will be able to eventually fix your handsets. I know from personal experience, because as I mentioned this device was hopelessly stuck in a bootloop for months before I was able to get it running again. Do a search for my previous post for instruction and as I said follow the guide to installing Oxygen to the letter. More than likely you've got several corrupt partitions and this method will resolve it. Once you've got your handset successfully running again on Oxygen you can then begin to flash other ROMs with no issues. For some reason the Oxygen OS is more robust in that it will boot up when there are issues with these corrupted partitions when CM based ROMs won't. I believe the title of my previous post was "hopelessly stuck in bootloop (solved)". I hope this helps.

Hello. This looks like the place I can get the best help.
Got a Xiaomi Mi5 last week - cheap and very cheerful. Having read online about possible fake roms and bloatware I thought the safest option would be to load the official stable rom to be safe.
Attempt 1
Following the MIUI guidance I downloaded the ROM, copied it to my phone in Windows explorer and then used the MIUI updater tool within the phone to load the new ROM.
http://en.miui.com/a-232.html
Everything went swimmingly for a couple of hours, but then the phone began crashing.
Attempt 2
By this stage I realised the above method was no longer available to me. So I got unlocking privalidges, unlocked my phone. Then, using MiFlash I flashed the latest ROM to the phone. Now the crashing problems happen within about a minute. It actually froze the screen first time round so I did it again.
Added fun issue - left my phone on overnight to charge. And it had stopped charging at 58%.
Attempt 3
Downloaded the EU MIUI Rom. Accessed TWRP in my phone and tried to use it to wipe and install. Not sure the wipes were fully effective - got a lot of red writing. And when I went to install the new ROM the internal storage was 0MB.
Had a look at guidance, and I forget what I did, but was finally able to see the zip file on my phone through TWRP. I got the "7" error. Have read how to fix this but seems too risky considering whats gone before.
Desired solution
I would just like any ROM on my phone which works. Don't really care which, I have followed each guide religiously. It may well just be a faulty phone but I don't want to send it back to China without ruling out the problem being me screwing with the software. Especially as I assume i've technically voided warranty... (I can reload Global Developer and relock it though so have hidden it pretty well. Only difference I can tell is that I now get a menu in recovery mode when before I got instruction to go to PCsuite).
Also - I seem to remember there originally being a downloaded_rom file in the internal memory which is no longer there. If im sending it back do I need to recreate one to hide my activity?
Appreciate any advice.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Xiaomi phones are encrypted by default so you need to wipe your phone in fastboot to access your storage again and you also need to flash latest su zip to disable dm verity. That should clear you internal memory issues and allow you to flash a zip through twrp
Good Luck
