Hi Guys,
Trying to figure out what I did wrong here... So i have a Samsung s6 with xtrestolite ROM, I wanted to flash back to stock, so i went into download mode, downloaded the stock recovery and flashed it via AP on Odin. The phone rebooted after the 'pass' message, then stayed stuck on the loading screen, wouldn't turn off, I had to open the phone and pull the battery. Now it won't turn on whatsoever, if i plug it in to charge, the charge graphic comes on, and then if i press and hold power it goes to the loading screen, but nothing else.
Holding VolDown+Home+Power wont get me into download mode, even if i hold the buttons for a good few minutes... any thoughts?

Firstly, when you are stuck on the Samsung logo, you need to hold volume down, home button and power at the same time until it brings you to the download mode screen. Second of all, if you want to go back to stock, you don't flash the stock recovery.. You download the firmware for your EXACT device model from websites such as Sammobile., then flash it using Odin And the last thing you want to do is remove the back. If you are still stuck in the current situation; while it is powered off, hold power, home button, and volume down and go into download mode. Then download the flash the EXACT firmware for your model of device, it will say at the top left in download mode, that is your current model. If these steps fail then I can't help you any further, you may want to ask someone else. If you don't know how to flash stock firmware, google it.

Hello everybody,
I managed to brick my mate 8 as per the title, honestly thinking why did i even bother, that whole saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." applies here 100%.
So i have been in the NXT-L29C636B180 which i put with the dload method (original was C636B103) and since then everything was good, all except the video camera that is.
So i wanted to try to get to the nougat update (561?) but i read that you need the 211 first. As i couldn't find it i used the android app: firmware finder, and using the proxy method i told basically the system that a new update is up and download it - so this is the update option in the settings..
So after it downloaded NXT-L29C636B211 then it restarted, starting unpacking, and the installation stopped at around 5% when it restarted by it self. And that was it...
I am in a screen where i cannot use the touch, but only the buttons on the side and have the options
"Reboot system now"
"Wipe data/ factory reset"
"Wipe cache partition"
Tried the cache and rebooting, didn't do anything.
Tried wiping, and reboot, then i go in another page
"Huawei eRecovery" where it asks to connect to the wifi and download but then throws an error message "Getting package info failed"
That is pretty much it, i tried putting the update.app in the dload folder in the sd card and tried to use that method but it wouldnt boot that (used the volume + and - and power buttons) but it took me back to one of the above.
Am i out of hope? Is there anything i can do to restore it?
I really appreciate the help.
same problem!

That happened to me too. you will still be able to enter fastboot. plug your phone to your pc and and press and hold the power and volume down. that should take you to the fastboot screen.
find the appropriate twrp recovery for your phone and use the command
fastboot flash recovery "recovery name".img. wait till its done.
press and hold the power and volume down button till the phone reboots. that will takeyou to twrp recovery. there you could either flash b210 or the beta b521 -- which i am on.

Thank you for the response. I will give it a try today after work i am a complete noob so its the first time for me to see what fastboot is, never heard of TWRP, i was always stock so never needed to mess with my phones.
If i recall doing power and volume down while plugged it was taking me to the page i mentioned to wipe the data, reboot or wipe the cache.
I managed to go to the fastboot page on the phone by pressing volume - and then plugging the phone to the pc. Now in the white page on the phone it shows, Phone unlocked in red. Does this mean just it is carrier unlocked?
So do i need to have the bootloader unlocked to do anything here? How do i do that? I cannot buy the code i suppose now since my phone is bricked i will have to go the Huawei way? And how do i do that, i saw a site to create a HUawei ID but in the registration page it didn't mention UK anywhere (where i live), mentioned Hong Kong and other Asian territories. I bought the phone from Wonda mobile, and being the 636 i would think its the asian model anyway.
Regarding TWRP, i didnt install it from before the phone was bricked will i still be able to do what you mentioned? And for the image i need to use, do i need to go to the firmware i was in before (636B180) or the one i tried to go to (636B211)? I can't seem to find the 180 anymore anywhere.
Sorry for the mass amount of questions, trying to sort it i have the phone for less than a year and i am gutted for messing it up like that.

My device is a BKL-L09
Previously running cr6.1 (8.1)
When I tried flashing a new Kernel(Radioactive) thinking it might fix the safetynet CTS profile mismatch, it (or actually I) broke something so that now I can't boot into the custom recovery or the system. eRecovery seems to work just fine (except that it, well ... doesn't since I have the international version where restoring is a non-working option).
That being said I can't really boot anything and I've already been looking everywhere on how to boot(not unlock) into the BL from shutdown. But all didn't work.
Does somebody have a working BKL-L09 and can look into booting it?
Edit:
eRecovery boots everytime after 3 times of bootlooping.
The phone will restart on it's own after having it shutdown after 15!! seconds of pressing the power button (is this behaviour normal?) and the only way to shut it down for good is selecting "shutdown" in eRecovery.
No matter the other buttons, pressing VOL UP will always boot the update installer, which will always output "Software install failed! (get help from...)"

can you either delet this thread or delete your post in the kernels thread... no need for duplicates mate.
i also posted your solution... search around for how to get into fastboot mode (it can be trucky, but it us possible with some patience)
and the fastboot flash both your backed up stock kernel.img and ramdisk.img

Sorry, I must've missed the L04(too thrilled :cyclops.
But I don't really care about the data (of course I would like it back, but... priorities), and right now I have a broken phone that won't boot into BL nmw.
List i tried:
Vol down; 3s; cable
Vol down; cable
Same with vol up and vol up/down
just power on loads erecovery after a bit
Vol up gives installing update
I think I somehow broke my BL.
Is a kernel pre or past BL on boot? (Pre, isn't it..?)
My phone is Galaxy S7 SM-G930F on stock Rom, bootloader,,,etc. Never flashed or rooted. During a call it froze and rebooted into Download mode.
Since then I am unable to reboot to any mode but Download mode. It exits by pressing power and down or all buttons together but boots only into download mode.
Before that I noticed that the phone was becoming hot during calls and battery life was much shorter.
Any Help with this problem?
Thanks
Try flashing the same ROM to the phone using Odin.
Sounds like you need to reflash the stock rom via Odin, but before you do that last thing to try before going down that route is to boot into recovery and do a wipe/reset. Be aware doing either of the aforementioned options will unfortunately mean loosing all your user data and apps.
I can't tell from your post but it seems that your handset seems to not want to stay off after pressing the power and volume down buttons? If this is the case then do the following to get into recovery -
Press power and volume down untill the phone powers off, then very quickly press and HOLD the "volume up, power and home" buttons to get into recovery before the phone has a chance to reboot. Then you will see the reset option to set the phone back to factory defaults.
If the above doesn't work then your gonna have to download the latest version of the stock rom from sammobile for your country and then follow this little guide on how to flash a stock tom via odin.
You could also try using Reiboot for Android to exit Download mode in one click. You can find it here: https://www.tenorshare.com/products/reiboot-for-android.html
Hi. After installing ROM from TWRP and restart, i got this as a bootloop. The problem is, it cannot boot into recovery despite the recovery word at the bottom left. So it looped on this page over and over. I tried all the known buttons and i cannot find anything similiar to my problem elsewhere. Anyone can help?

A bit more information , like phone model , how and which version you flashed.
otherwise pull battery (or wait to drain) charge and reboot back to download mode and reflash recovery.
this time making sure you do it right.
atleast ths is my procedure on samsung phones

Hi. Phone model Realme C2. TWRP flashing Realme UI. I think i made the mistake of formatting first or something before installing the ROM. I did took off the battery cable. Just that when the phone is powered on thru the cable, it also powered into the pic shown, which is a bootloop but can't boot into recovery. I believe this is an extremely rare situation. I'd be happy if it can boot into adb, then i can at least install back the original phone ROM.
Sometimes i managed to press and hold (vold down power) at the right time. on samsung phones
(right after it screen goes black i think) to get in to download mode during some bootloops.
But i am unfamiliar with fastboot mode i think your phone uses.
Try holding the physical buttons needed for you phones downloadmode/fastbootmode
while it is off and then plug the cable in ? just a guess though.

Hi. Nope. It will still boot into the screen on the pic, and it will loop over and over again. I took off the battery cable but when i plug the USB cable, it will also reboot into the pic with bootloop.
I felt that this is a very rare case of the phone screwing up. My initial intention was to install a light rom so i can use the extra space (even after root, App2SD doesnt work). Sigh.
if you remove the cable and let it drain , when it is off and you hold correct buttons for download/fastboot mode
and then plug the cable in it goes it to recovery mode ?
and keep trying press and hold different time in the loop , around the point of black screen/reboot point,
just before/at/and after.

Sorry, nope. It will boot into the Realme Logo and the recovery mode word on bottom left as shown in the pic. And then bootloop into the same thing again. It cannot enter recovery mode. I tried every combination of buttons with the battery attached and without. I believe the recovery section is erased, or it might be in another part of the memory but inaccessible.

are you sure you are trying button combinations for download/fastboot mode (not recovery).
we know recovery is fubared. so is system most probably.
you need to get in to download/fastboot to reflash recovery or stock firmware .
(hold buttons till you see download/fastboot , not just push and let go)
try correct button combination at all the different times in the loop.
and i had a siimmular problem once with a phone turning itself on and looping,
(turned out to be a glitchy power button , try fiddling with that , excersize it to get to unbind if it is)

Yes sir, i did. Tried all button combination at different times. The only thing that worked is the on/off button. When it is on, i press and hold a long time, and let go when the screen is off to turn off. And to turn it on, i press and hold a long time until the screen is on to turn on.
As noted, i might have screw up the installing 3rd party ROM process. I screwed up many times earlier, but i managed to reinstall back the original ROM because it was in adb. And now it isn't. Phones in my country aren't cheap, so if possible, i'd like to save this phone. My initial purpose to install a 3rd part ROM is to make use of the extra internal memory space (i rooted initially but i wasn't able to use App2SD).
so when you hold the power button and it turns off. then you need to use the
combination of buttons for fast boot to turn it on , not just power button .
make sure you have the correct buttons , double , tripple check with the correct buttons
and when to let them go.
