(Resolved) Need help on my P8 Max 701L NOoB here

Hi all
first of all, i am a noob as I have not been using android for years.
This is the stupid thing I have done so far. let me start the story on how I get this phone.
1. I bought it for 2nd hand, and noticed it has installed with the 'fake' nougat rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8max/general/android-nougat-p8max-t3492952
2. I check the phone it's shows not rooted.
3. It come with TWRP.
4. the Model is DAV-701LV100R001C209D305 ( do I need to download the exact same rom? I can't find it anywhere)
5. I wiped out everything including internal memory. and the phone now looping at the 'Huawei logo'
5. So I wanted to restore back to the original rom and downloaded some rom from Huawei website for 701L, when I press the +,- and power button it shows fail, some incapability things....
what shall I do now? I really lost now. please help!!!.. I just need a working phone:crying::crying::crying:

The problem is that there a no full ROM for this device so you cant forceupdate it.

Do you have a link for me, thank you..:angel::angel::angel:

There is no such link, cause the 701L doesnt get much support.

So this phone is officially dead?

I think the only thing maybe could work is that you put a universal CUST on it and flash a "normal" ROM on it than.

any help???? i am lost

Me too. It's looking like they're just not gonna bother, or it will be too late.
I'm already saving my pennies to buy a new phone, and it won't be a huawei

I was looking at the Moto G5 plus today, I'm debating man.

Strange that the date of the B381 build is 06.03.2017, whereas it only got released yesterday. It's probably not going to be worth the hassle.

There nothing strange about this.
Often the case the dates of data or OS is older then the release dates, so there nothing strange about this statement.

True, but previously the build and release dates were close . According to the build date this soft is only 4 days younger than B380, but it's been published on the server over a month later which the small bump in the version number seems to confirm.

Hi Guys ,
i am using FRD-L19C432
it came with B131 , and i used FF to upgrade to B360 , things were fine .. i thought i would go to B380 , but everytime i download and install it , system stays at B360 , so i rolled back to B131 today ... and i need your help because i feel kinda lost how to proceed.
1- should i go from B131 to B380 ?? or B381 directly ?
2- is there a way to flash the firmware from SD ? everytime i try that it fails at 5 % ( incompatibility issues ) .. i am sure i got the correct firmware.
so every time i want to try something , i have to download using FF , which is not that fast ..
please give me a hint , how to proceed.
3- i am lost in the updates too some are FULL OTA MF , others have another letters like PV .. what are those ?
thanks for your help <3 <3

Just an FYI, I was able to flash L04-B360 from TWRP. YMMV of course, as to whether that works with this update.

B131 - B381 via charles not working here (all looks good until it reboots, then fail to verifying update package)

Bricked Honor 8 FRD L19

Hello guys, I'm so sorry for having to bug you all eventhough there already has been many threats regarding a bricked Honor 8.
But however, i'm really stuck because apparently my Honor 8 model is FRD-L19C636 B380 currently running emui 5.0
This phone was bought in Malaysia. Due to my retardness, i tried rooting this phone but accidently wiped the entire system with my backup of twrp.
This phone is unlocked, its having stock recovery now, phone works as in, there are many apps missing and theres no keyboard and camera does not work.
I seem to have downloaded the update.app for the latest version but it does not include CUST.IMG which then doesnt allow me to fully flash the rom.
When I'm thinking about downgrading, it didnt work either because i cannot find the correct version for the downgrade. (I randomly picked a FRD L19 emui 4.1 from the website and flash it, it failed at CUST.IMG and further bricked my device but now its back to the state where theres no keyboard and apps are missing)
Bootloader is unlocked
I can access fastboot and stock recovery. Please I really need help D: I would never want to mess with my phone ever again, my mom bought me this phone and it was hard for her, I feel really bad for not taking care of it properly.

No there isn't. Wow I didnt even realize that. At the bottom, theres only advanced settings and developer options and about phone
Is there anyway to fix this? D: I've tried so many ways already. I spent the entire day trying by downloading update.zips. But the internet service here in Malaysia really sucks. Down to 500kbps/s

Rommco05 said:
hm, what about factory reset in twrp? This can be a risk, but u have full build number anyway it is a risk because phone no must boot - or this can be a quick solution...

I've tried this before, the first time, it just factory reset then same. No keyboard , no apps. The 2nd time, "there is no OS do you really want to reboot?"
Is it possible to use a different region with FRD-L19?

Can't download latest firmware

Hi!
My problem is that I can't download the latest firmware like the FRD-L09C432B394. The latest for my phone is the FRD-L09C432B389.
I tried rollback the phone to Android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1, installing C432B131 official firmware
The phone takes me to update to Android 7.0, and then to FRD-L09C432B389. After that, no other updates.
I wiped all the things I could before doing that, and uninstalled roots. I don't know what the problem might be.
Hope you guys could help me, maybe there's an obvious spot that I'm missing.
UPDATE: After 9 days I still didn't get the update. I'm sure now there's a problem, and I can't find it.
UPDATED 2: I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!

Have you tried firmware finder?

Updates roll out in batches, so wait and you'll get it

It happened to me also, Indian Variant, but after few days, I received via phone updater. Tried to push via firmware finder but couldn't install.

just wait for the updates, and reset once and try.

Not for me unluckly. I manage to download the update through the official update option, but when it reaches 100% it says something like the update isn't compatible, and deletes it.

May be you need to be little more patience.
We have B340 rolling out for Honor 6X and few got it in early August and few getting it now and others are still waiting but they are getting slowly. Its like they are slowly sending to users but eventually send to all.

I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!

Repair firmwares??

So im wondering if anyone has repair firmwares for the USA SM_G955U. i recently installed a U2QK4 update OTAusing ADB from the ATT section and everything went bad from there. I was told i may not be able to downgrade but thats not the problem. I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH MY PHONE NOW! IT HAS NO RECOVERY AT ALL IT JUST FLICKERS THE BLUE SCREEN WITH THE ANDROID AND A TEXT APPEARS OCCASIONALLY ON THE FLICKERING SCREEN WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF FAILS. THERE IS NO UPLOAD MODE AT ALL. I CAN ONLY ACCESS DOWNLOAD MODE WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO FLASH ANYTHING CAUSE NOTHING WORKS. THE ONLY THING THAT IS FLASHABLE ON NON-MODDED AND MODDED ODIN IS CP! I DONT EXACTLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT HAPPENED. EVERYTHING WAS OPERABLE AND THEN THE PHONE ENCRYPTED ITSELF,REBOOTED ANDA BLUE SCREEN WITH A CARD WAS FLASHING AND ALL WENT TO HELL. TRIED REBOOTING AND THATS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN! I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT ON A PHONE BEFORE!
ITS BEEN DAYS SINCE THIS HAPPENED AND I WAS TOLD THE FIRMWARE WAS BEING UPDATED FROM THE OP AND STILL NOTHING! I DONT THINK PEOPLE SHOULD POST THINGS TO FLASH WITH JUST A WARNING ON HERE, THEY SHOULD TEST IT BEFORE POSTING BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME GET CURIOUS AND WANT TO FLASH THINGS,BUT, THE POSTER DOESNT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT DOES!NOT HIS FAULT AS I AM TO BLAME,
ILL SAY IT HERE AGAIN SO PEOPLE DONT THINK IM BLAMING ANYONE,
I I AM TO BLAME!!!!
OKAY, BUT, NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $950 PAPERWEIGHT! AND HONESTLY I WANTED TO BRICK IT, BUT, I THOUGHT WARRANTY OR INSURANCE WOULD COVER IT IN WHICH THEY WONT BECAUSE ATT IS GETTING CRAPPY WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. IT SEEMS I HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE DARK WITH NO CLUES OR HELP.
SORRY FOR CAPITAL LETTERS FORGOT TO TURN IT OFF AND AM NOT ABOUT TO RE-TYPE.
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO FIX THIS PLEASE HELP.
(AND GETTING A NEW PHONE WONT HELP, SO THAT RESPONSE IS SHOT)
LOOKING FOR A FIX. THANKS IN ADVANCE

Please, don't SHOUT!

Few things:
U2QK4? I don't think that's a model number for a firmware... We certainly haven't seen a U2 g955/0u firmware yet...
And sammobile has it as u1aqk3 for vzw so tmb should be u1qk4.
Can you double check what you flashed?

1. A good, new odin that will flash an official package.
https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip
2.Not the latest firmware, but a solid base (which you can then use to OTA updated to the latest patches)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U/ATT/download/G955USQU1AQC9/129108/
Download both, use the former to flash the latter. Let us know how it goes!
EDIT: AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK! Please attach a screenshot of Odin and a picture of your phone (if you can). It'll help us get you squared away.

I'm pretty sure norbarb, the provider of the U2BQK4 firmware knew that it was for the N950(note 8) and posted it in his adb update thread. I bought a new motherboard and will not ever update from that person again because of what has happened. I am not bashing him I just don't want to go through this mess again. and so far I've gotten a bootloader's to flash by using the.elf files from a u2b file from the note 8. Still no recovery and stuck at the bootloader's screen. Can still get into download mode.
The quickest fix I know is for a new motherboard.
Thanks guys

All due respect but aqc9 is ancient and full of bugs that will make your experience with your phone sub par. Just go to updato.com and download the latest version for your carrier and device. By default updato is slow but if you use a download manager it flies. I can get 3MB/s easily

i honestly dont think people read in these forums. But everyone surely knows everything.
I am starting to get annoyed with that. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
1. i have flashed a rom provided by norbarb in the AT&T forums(he took it down) G955USA1US2BQK4,
2. after installing that update, phone went haywire, encrypted and erased everything except download mode,
3. ABSOLUTELY NO RECOVERY AT ALL,
4. nothing will flash over, NOTHING!! phone error: SW REV ablFAILED 1>binary >2 ODIN error. FAIL(AUTH) and FAIL dismatch model in non-modded ODIN and modded odin.
5. i got a bootloader to flash using abl files from a U2b (meaning bootloader 2) from another file U2BQK5 provided from a third party pm.
6. stuck in a bootloop at bootloader screen,
7. STILL NOTHING FLASHES OVER.
8. EDL cable needed per eli, went ahead and ordered another motherboard.
IF ANYONE CARES OR DECIDES TO BADGER ABOUT REPAIR FIRMWARE, PLEASE CHECK OUT GSM FORUMS, THERE ARE OTHER FORUMS WITH USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT REPAIR FIRMWARES.
thank you all for your help. i just went ahead and ordered another motherboard cause i found it easier and less stressful to deal with less people who do not read the OP.

No you're right it is ancient BUT it does have a direct update path straight to last month's security patch. And, maybe most importantly, OP could be using an older ODIN and hasn't tried the new one so I figured an older firmware has best shot at being compatible, he can OTA from there.

hey bro, just to clarify with you i have flashed every file that there is from the links provided and from the forums i have about 8 copies of each file haha looks like i wont be running out soon. seems like the reason it crashed is the memory test that the rom i flashed inflated too much. i think it damaged my board which is okay i have another coming.

Say what now? What made you think it was the memory test? What made you think it was the board or an actual hardware issue with the phone? A memory test can't 'inflate' anything much less can it damage your memory or the actual board.
I had a problem with my device from a badly restored backup where my modem would crash the machine to upload mode moments after booting on anything but a stock rom, and even that the radio didn't work and it would rebolt about 30 times to get to a state where it finished booting at all.
Needless to say I fixed it (I'm still here) but I essentially had to implement my own repair procedure and after about 30 hours total of working in it over two days I managed to get it working enough that I could get a rooted os booted and could then do another restore with a good backup.
If you problem sounds similar (iirc it was in the same general area) and it is then I'm afraid you wasted your money, as all you need is a restore of those partitions outside the rom part of your nvram.

I've been messaging with Eli and he said an EDL cable would fix the problem as it needs the deep flash. What would be your suggestion? I have been trying everything and I noticed somewhere saying windows 8 had problems with Odin software so I am currently installing a fresh copy of windows 10. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I thought windoze 10 was the "worst" because of the driver signing gotcha . This was true of me and my alibaba smart watch . For me, I had to resurrect an old h.d. with windoze 7 . . .

Yeah windows 7 is the best but I kinda like the metro theme with 8 and 10, though 8 is bad........

Say what now? What made you think it was the memory test? What made you think it was the board or an actual hardware issue with the phone? A memory test can't 'inflate' anything much less can it damage your memory or the actual board.
I had a problem with my device from a badly restored backup where my modem would crash the machine to upload mode moments after booting on anything but a stock rom, and even that the radio didn't work and it would rebolt about 30 times to get to a state where it finished booting at all.
Needless to say I fixed it (I'm still here) but I essentially had to implement my own repair procedure and after about 30 hours total of working in it over two days I managed to get it working enough that I could get a rooted os booted and could then do another restore with a good backup.
If you problem sounds similar (iirc it was in the same general area) and it is then I'm afraid you wasted your money, as all you need is a restore of those partitions outside the rom part of your nvram.
