Hello all,
I have been going slightly mad today trying to get my mate 7 2GB back from CWM to stock recovery. The main problem is that I do not have a stock recovery image. But after being shown where to find one, I noticed that I could not get it successfully flashed either.
Since I do not really know how to do this, I used flashify, but that did not work and either returned me to the CWM or sent me to rescue.
Can someone help me to a) get a stock recovery image for the Mate 7 version MT7-L09 and b) show me how to properly flash it?
Find stock recovery is easy.. only a question why flashify don't work for you? It work fine for me... your device is rooted?

Hi @dzjero86, my device is rooted and I am on the B137SP03 version atm, using CWM. Don't know why Flashify is not working for flashing a recovery image. It works fine to flash a CWM recovery. Maybe I have the wrong stock recovery... If you can find it, can you send me the link or add it as an attachment here?
Please guys help me to . i have that same problem i have been trying to flash the stock recovery again but i couldn't even with flashify after i flash i takes me to bootloader screen and it shows me a fun_error message
I have a tl-10 device

A way to find the stock recovery is : download the whole B137SP03 Rom from the Huawei site , and use a tool called "Firmware unpacker for Huawei" whit this tool you can extract the recovery.img from the Rom and try to flash it using flashify

Do you tried flash via fastboot ?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or try to use this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...custom-recovery-tool-mt7-l10-l10-mt7-t3022424
This should work.
The fast boot just stucks at waiting for device
And the tool you send says that the stock recovery works only on tl_09 and my device is tl_10

Ok, I couldnt access your firmware unpacker, but I did manage to use the tool you suggested.
I have a different recovery screen, but is this the right one? It has EMUI large in centre screen and the options reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
If this is the correct one, and I am already on the D137SP03 ROM, I should be able to locally update right?
I tried this, and got a lot further this time, but my phone gave an error message during the update. Do I need to flash the original B137SP03 rom again, even though I am already on it?
I think you maybe can flash using adb commands and also you need adb drivers working

I think so. If stock looks like I described: black screen, large EMUI logo, and the options reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition?
That's right... you have stock recovery... sometimes the update fail if the UPDATE.APP is on the internal storage.. try to flash from a micro sd card or re-download the update ....

No luck so far.... I've downloaded the update.zip, put it in my mnt/ext_sdcard/dload folder and start the local update. It begins OK, as the progress bar moves along. But after about 25% it shoots to the end, and then I get an update failed screen with a red exclamation mark.
What could I try to get it to work??

Ok, I just reinstalled the B137P03 version from the how to install lollipop thread, and that went successful. Now going to try the update.zip! Keep you posted
Ah, now we're talking It seems to have worked. Phone is now showing 'Android is upgrading' and 'optimising app.....'
Great! It does seem strange I had to reinstall the B137SP03 rom, but that did the trick!

You haven't tried everything. You have tried everything you know tho. If you had tried everything, there was no point asking.
First, was you on 5.1.1 and did you use CF-Autoroot?
Can you get into download mode and flash stock 5.1.1 from Sammobile?

Yes i tried everything i know
I was on 5.0.2 and tried cf autoroot
I downloaded 5.1.1 firmware but odin keeps saying FAIL.
I'm now downloading the same stock fw that was pre installed. Can i do something else?
Yes i can get into download mode

Well it's a soft brick then.
If I can't help you, someone else definitely know the answer.
Try follow this. This is a guide to flash a custom rom, but well, you just follow the bootloader and modem part and AFTER that you flash stock 5.1.1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60112855&postcount=3
You can't root on 5.1.1 tho. Not as of yet. Then you need a custom rom. But let's take that after your phone is fixed.
Do exactly as stated in the "guide". Flash modem + bootloader together and AFTERWARDS if it flash succesfully you flash 5.1.1 stock from Sammobile (you can't downgrade so 5.0.2 is not possible to flash anymore. It will fail.)
Just under the guide the bootloader and modem is for the difference models. Make sure to download the right one.
I will try it. I'm downloading the firmware right now (so slow)
Is there any way to turn off the phone? I hope it won0t suffer burn in effect because of the static image.

As long as you can get into download mode, it's just soft bricked. Try different PC's and USB ports. That have helped me more than once when getting stuck on Odin.
But what were you on when you tried to root? 5.0.2 or 5.1.1? Can't see why flashing stock firmware should fail. You sure you do everything right?

If you can acces Download, you can access recovery aswell. Hold down home button + volume down + power button until it starts a reboot. Once the screen go black, release all buttons and then fast volume up + homebutton + power button at the same time and there you go, you're in recovery.
The reason you think you can only get into download mode is because the same button combination that gets you into download mode restarts your phone.
So yes, try flash TWRP from Odin.

Well if you succesfully flash 5.1.1 your phone works again. No idea what's wrong with your Odin tho. Try delete all the Odin files and download it again (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555153).
I THINK you're on 5.1.1 bootloader and modem as I got the same error as you. I flashed 5.1.1 bootloader and modem and could not start phone before 5.1.1 firmware was flashed.
You COULD try follow this again STEP FOR STEP when re-downloaded Odin (and deleted all the old Odin files). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60112855&postcount=3 REMEMBER to download the right version for your device. Like if you have SM-G920F it's JUST below the guide, else scroll further. Remember the bootloader and modem should be flashed at the SAME time and is not for the PDA slot. If it succesfully flash them, then try 5.1.1 stock firmware now.
But step for step the guide and be aware of those (DO NOT connect your phone before this step, otherwise it won't work!).
If you don't want to try that all over again (as I THINK you're on 5.1.1 bootloader and modem) you could try download download Odin again (as linked) and try different USB ports + PC's. If you try to flash bootloader + modem again, then try different PC's and USB ports too.
Wait wait guys... I just flashed a newer versione of twrp (
Why the hell i was flashing an older version??? ) and BOOM...it restarted and surprise...5.1.1 upgrade with my data and files (nothing touched and deleted).
I can't figure it out why root on 5.0.2 didn't work...
Finally i got it back working at least.
Thank you guys form you quick support and thank you Faspaiso for the help
Btw, root on 5.1.1 not already available?
Smells like reactivation lock.
Hello,
I have Samsung Duos 2 two years ago, and rooted it 1 year ago via Odin with a rom i dont remember the name, it was working perfectly until yesterday I was customizing it "using only OS built in settings, no 3rd party apps" Suddenly the phone turned off and restarted, then stuck at the samsung logo. I think it went a soft brick!
I tried wiping cash but it give an error. I don't care for the phone, I i have photos "very important" and whatsapp/SMS messages "less important" that I want to recover them.
question1: if I re-rom it via Odin, will this wipe my data [photos/messages]?
question2: I read a post that factory reset only wipe apps and app data but no personal data, I want a confirm.
thanx in advance

No re-rom wont wipe the data and will most probably fix the bootloop if it does not then you will have to flash the stock firmware via odin.
And you read wrong i guess it wipes almost everything and mostly factory reseting wont fix bootloop. Btw i recommend waiting atleast 5 mins for the phone to boot to conform whether its bootlooped or not (my personal experience of thinking i got a bootloop after flashing somethin but the next time i did it i waited and there was no bootloop). One last thing was the Rom like stock ? If yes then its a prerooted firmware i guess.
btw do you have twrp? Its not necessary but if u have twrp tell me.

Hey
I can help you with the recovery things stored in internal storage:
download TWRP, flash it via odin: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369360126141
now go to recovery mode, plug it to your computer, you will found the device as MTP and have internal storage exposed, you can grab files from there

when you writing firmware/recovery to your phone, it's called flashing, by flashing stock rom you will not losing data unless you do a factory reset in recovery

Using the stock firmware or the Rom you ussd before is the solution dont use any other rom and if flashing the firmware didnt fix you should try wiping system using twrp and then flash the stock firmware again

you should have download mode even have TWRP flashed
remove battery, put battery in, hold HOME + volume down + power button, after phone boot up then it will show warning message, press volume up to enter download mode then you can flash stock rom using odin
Hi guys i need a big help
I'll try to explain all but i'm not good in English
i bricked my honor 8 L09
it happened when I tried to restore a twrp backup. Twrp can't continue the restore because "cust" can't be extracted
So i tried to restore the backup deselecting cust part
And this was my error
Bootloop
So i tried:
-restored others backup -FAILED-
-used Huawei eRecovery : "getting Package from server failed" -FAILED-
-flashed roms, aosp and emui based, marshmallow and nougat based: can't flash -FAILED-
-flashed boot.img, system.img, recovery.img nothing worked -FAILED-
-extracted cust.img and flashed via adb folllowing this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/how-restore-cust-partition-t3356769/page2 flashed but nothing works -FAILED-
But now is worse, because i can't get into twrp but only in eRecovery (that doesn't work), and adb flash don't work
What can i do?
Maybe a huawei/honor repair shop can help me?

-extracted cust.img and flashed via adb folllowing this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/how-restore-cust-partition-t3356769/page2 flashed but nothing works -FAILED-

i'm assuming you are talking about what you suggested
So I:
-entered in rescuemode
-used the package you linked and flashed twrp via fastboot
-entered in twrp
-tried to wipe but can't wipe and mount nothing
-tried to flash the stock rom linked in your guide but it flash only oeminfo
If u are talking about the guide I linked, I did all steps (my bad, I think that this is the problem, because the modified file in this guide block me from wipe)
EDIT: just tried to flash via fastboot all the .img one for flash but every single time it says "failed. Command not allowed"
Bro go to twrp > advance wipe (all )
If error again reboot again and format data and again advance wipe.
Now flash this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwXB-CJiljwpS1o4UXo5b1JlRjQ/view
After that do a reset and reboot ,you will be successfully unbricked

Hey guy, I'm trying to port lineage os 14 & 15 to the S8 Pro, do you have experience with twrp, flash etc.? You could help with being my beta tester, next I'll put some betas on android file host, and make a forum here on XDA for the phone
Does anyone have a link to the twrp img file, or any other custom recovery, i cant find it anywhere, all the links just point to the flash tool but it doesn't contain the twrp img file?

I have found it on 4pda.
Just google ulefone s8 pro 4pda.
You need to let translate by google, because of different language.

Doesn't work with the firmware V3.01 and V3.03. Getting in the recovery works fine, but booting the system is impossible. The boot stay stuck at the "S8 Pro With android (something)" splash screen.

Something like this has happened to me too. Boot your phone on twrp then select the option 'Wipe', then "Format data", my phone only booted up after I did this

In the sound recorder I didnt find nothing, but the app GYBeautySnap aka BeautyMakeup open some annoyng processes (that consumes about 40mb of ram) that has something like ads, I think he is the real virus
Tried wiping then 'format system', still didn't work, stays stuck at the boot logo, bit thanks for the help anyway.
It rebootq only to a green TWRP!

Hi, thanks for your help, seems I missed the noverity.zip part. What is the noverity.zip and how did you install it? (flashed via TWRP, ADB or using the tool?) Could you link the tutorial you used?

That noverity.zip disables a mechanism in the boot partition that verify the boot itself and the system partition, when you install twrp a little bit of the boot partition is altered and so the boot is blocked.
Install the zip using twrp. You can take a look at this (https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-ulefone-s8-pro/), but if I remember well, that s8 pro toolkit app is the one that asks you to install the zip

which firmware version are installed on your phone? Have you tried flashing the official ROM from the ulefone site, then retried the process?
Have tried on both v3. 01 & v3. 03 firmwares. Stock firmware wasn't downloaded directly from ulefone site, imagine it will be the same but will give it a go.
