Bricked Honor 8 from China - stuck on lock screen - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi!
My 1 week old honor 8 wouldn't recognize the sim card at first, and then the screen would start flashing on and off until it got stuck in a boot loop and completely shut down.
After charging it for some time it would finally turn on, but then it got stuck on the lock screen with half of the screen completely black.
The touchscreen doesn't work even though the clock is running, as you can see here.

}
However, the whole screen is fine and the touch screen is working when I'm in eRecovery, so the screen itself should be fine.
I feel like I have tried everything. Hard reset, delete cache, firmware update by connecting to the computer and using eRecovery.
I also tried the HiSuite recovery option, which did succeed, but the phone is still bricked.
I would really appreciate if anyone could provide me with the FRD-AL10C00B393 firmware to try the dload method.
Anyone know what else I can do?
Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately it seems like they only have FRD-AL00 firmware, nothing for AL10.
Edit: Do you know if using the dload method with an older firmware will cause any problems?
I think FRD-AL10C00B393 is installed on the device, but I've only been able to find FRD-AL10C00B135 online.

FIXED
It is now fixed. I had the phone plugged in and HiSuite opened by itself. This isn't new, but this time I noticed there was an option on the computer for when the "accept HiSuite" dialog doesn't appear on the phone. When I pressed it the half black screen went away, but it still kept reappearing while I was setting up the phone. After the set up it was up and running like normal, except for the headphone mode not turning off.

Could do with a little help, I think my N5 is dead

Hi all...
I think my N5 is buggered.
I was at a festival this weekend and my phone battery ran out so I left it in my bag for more of the weekend. On the drive back it was working fine as I was using GPs, making calls, using Gplay without any problems. As my GF wanted to charge her phone mine ran out again by the time I got home and I went to charge it as it was down to 2% but when I plugged the charger in it would not charge. It would start charging for a second then stop for a second and then start again. So I unplugged it and went to give it a re-boot and the screen came back on corrupted like this -

}
I have holding the volume down and power button to get to the fast boot menu and the screen does the same thing but this time while i'm holding it the screen with turn on and off wile vibrating 5-6 times before turning off.
I have even tried using fastboot to flash the recovery image onto the phone and it says everything has worked but again I get the corrupeted screen when I reboot.
Anyone seen or know of this problem? Or is it what I expect and it's got a hardware issue and needs to get repaired?
Thanks in advanced for any help or suggestions.

It's a problem with the flex cable, the screen, or possibly the motherboard.
A few people have had this issue.

Lethargy,
I had a feeling it was going to be a hardware issue. Thank you so much for the help... I'll get it sorted under my insurance then and get myself a temporary phone until then.

Please help! S5 encryption fail cannot reset phone to factory settings

I have the sprint samsung galaxy s5 north american version. SM-G900P.
It was working fine all day. sometime during the night it just restarted while i was browsing the internet (while waiting for Jurassic World to play) and the error popped up saying unable to complete encryption due to interruption. There is a button to that says "reset device" but it doesn't work.
I tried to do a factory reset by holding the "home+VOL UP+ power button" but after it loads past the recovery mode. All i see is the android with the red exclamation mark and then the phone just automatically restarts.
To my knowledge this phone isn't rooted.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to what i can do to fix my phone.

Hey I appreciate your input, I only included that download screen to show more info about the phone.... As I have stated in my post that I tried to do a factory reset via holding the PWR,VOL+,and HOME button but after the recovery mode loads. I just get the dead android with the red triangle of death. (red exclamation mark) and you know how usually after the recovery mode loads you have the list of options on the side that you can scroll through using the vol buttons it was not there. Then the phone would just restart after a few seconds. I tried to hold the VOL+ and POWER button after the recovery mode to see if maybe it would do something but it did't work...
So far I've ran into one other person with the problem and they just gave up and bought another phone! Wish me luck!
Found a solution yet?
I have the same issue, happened in the morning after my alarm went off. Luckily after and not before otherwise I might have been late to work...
Anyway I can't do a factory reset either. Was thinking about flashing the firmware but can't seem to load the bootloader screen either.
Have you found a work around?
Guys, I just went through somewhat similar, but for SM-G900F international version. You might want to take a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/s5-sm-g900f-multiple-fatality-soft-t3351343.
cool down
I know i am late but when the triangle comes up with dead android just use power button once and screen will show options

what's up your t5c now ?
Hello,sorry but that's my 1st time in a forum,and i hope to write in the right place... Ok,listen please, i try a disaster! In a moment of confusion and disattention I’ll wipe all sistem with twrp,and i repeat WIPED All Sistem. I never had do Nand backup. Now, phone is always started in 1st start sreen with only Android word on screen. It doesn’t shut down and if i try to push off,in some secons it restart. I have a leagoo t5c. With pc i’d downloading every drivers and firmware,but pc doesnt see phone,or if it do that,spd can’t install firmware. Can you teach me,if there’s a metod,to reinstall all system if it is possible with Windows 10. Thank’s for attention, have a nice day to everybody!
I don't know if you finally got to salvage your T5c, but in order for the flashing app to recognize your phone, you must leave it turned off, THEN plug it into a USB port on your PC, THEN press the Power button AND Volume Up button AND Volume Down button at the same time.
You wait a few seconds, and you should see the phone appear in the flashing app main window with the word "Ready" in the lower left corner. Then you can click on the Download button in the top menu bar, and wait until you see a green "Passed" mention. Then you can unplug your phone and either configure it as a new device (that's what I do) or restore content from a backup.

Did totally CLOSE (shutdown) your phone?
Restart your phone after one hour, don't recharge your phone also. After that it will be solved!

Try close WhatsApp then test The sensor again
I bought my ROG phone 5 from Aliexpress and is tencent version flashed with global. After opening and setting it up, it was working fine and started playing pubg. After about 1 hour, it just died. No warning or anything, just ploof.
It doesn't respond to anything, power, volume +, volume -. Nothing when it's not charging.
But When I plug it into its charger, it does a boot loop.
When charging on the side, it boots up the android logo then the ROG logo but dies right after.
When charging on the bottom, it flashes the android logo and dies.
While it does that I held the volume up button, I can access fastboot and it stays on with the options:
- Start
- Restart bootloader
- Recovery mode
- Power off
I tried every option to no avail.
When I plug out the charger while in fastboot, it dies.
I think the battery connection is fried.
Hello,
Had the same problem. And after doing all solutions and resetting my phone, nothing worked.
Then, downloaded an app to override the proximity sensor, called Proximity Service from play store. in a strange way after turning it on on off, the sensor strated working normally!
Asus Rog Phone 5
hello.
The Proximity Sensor Always on Issue was a software issue.
I Updated my phone manually by downloading the latest update file from asus website, pasted the update file into root directory of phone and updated the phone. Make Backup of your phone data before doing this just in case.
(Be Careful and read all instructions on the firmware page before doing it at your own risk and cost).
Just match your Build Number with your intended Software Update from Asus website
Alhumdulillah Problem has been solved
I'm having code you can test your sensors or any part of the phone

Question In some sort of bootloop(weird)

Ive had ther phone for around 4 months and it was working just fine, while i was using it it happened to have some sort of error on the display, it somehow doesnt display anything except a white/grey background with blue dots in the middle. I can open fastboot(not unlocked), and recovery mode, and it seems to be in some sort of bootloop. It is detected by my pc however it seems to be listed as "QUSB_BULK_CID:0404_SN:73F874B5" as far as i know this seems to be in some sort of mode, EDL or something like that after doing some research but no results still come.
extra details:
it has developer options unlocked but is disabled, using light mode, fullscreen display, and i have already tried wiping it from the recovery. Only shows pocophone logo, no miui and then turns black or shows the grey/white screen, and boots again. It was fine at first, and i have reformat it once, which has introduced an issue of freezing, it seems to freeze at random times and reboots.
UPDATE ON PHONE: after awhile of leaving the pone by itself it seemed to have booted for awhile and then has turned on on its usual setup however it has freezed again and seems to go go past the miui screen now, sometimes freezes ( screen shows all rgb pixels) or sometimes just shuts down. i will continue to update if other problems persist.
Edit 2: Was able to get through android setup but now its jsut a black screen or the grey sreen picture linked after the pocophone logo. and the miui logo does not appear.
Ran on safe mode on through recovery and the problem persisists with this screen bootloop
Cant get past wifi part of miui setup, it crashes after the next step of connecting to the internet, mid way. goes black, and seems to repeat everything.

If bootloader is not unlocked, just find Xiaomi customer service/support center to help you. Make use of warranty.
