Hi, need some urgent help here.
I was trying to install a custom rom, so I unlocked first the bootloader, then flashed twrp 3.0.2 for Android 5.1 and with it I flashed KangVip rom (porto from honor 6).
Problem was it didn't boot, just black screen.
So I supposed the problem was with the rom so I flashed via fastboot the aosp 6, obviously with same results.
I tried lot of stuff (twrp 2.8.x.x, reinstall stock firmware, restore twrp backup of stock full firmware and so on - I did almost everything I could do) and now I'm with a Huge problem: no huawei logo at start, just a white screen and nothing happen. I have twrp 3.0.2 for 5.1 installed right now but I can't install stock recovery.
Please help me, what do I gotta do?

the ported rom is based on Android 6.0 you have Android 5.1 youk should flash 5.1 based rom..
it's good to flash stock and update official to b560 or b571 depending on which region to have then flash twrp recovery and then flash desire rom..

Thx for this.
But I have a problem, I can't install stock recovery and if I try to flash the .img files extracted from update.app nothing happens.
Also, I still have that problem with huawei logo disappeared and a blank white screen instead.

boot into bootloader and flash stock recovery but if you know what exactly firmware was you have(bxxx) then no need to flash recovery just put update.app to your sd card and then force update three buttons combination (volume both and power) turn off it remove data cable then press these three buttons it'll go in recovery sometime but try two or three times(in recovery turn off device) and try again if that method not work you should flash stock recovery to do so and if it didn't go to bootloader(fastboot) then connect data cable and then press vol- and power it'll go to bootloader in bootloader flash stock recovery then force update your device....

Hope you can help me out here...I had just gotten my HAM7 for a couple of days. Was on 4.4.2 B120, was able to get it up to B326. Just yesterday I attempted to flash up to B331 and it succeeded according to the "local update" option. Then it went on boot loop. I tried doing the force 3-button option and that worked to the point of saying it succeeded and will reboot. Now I'm stuck on Ascend Mate logo. I can no longer get into factory option mode (V+Power), only fastboot mode. Also, I can't do force update no more so I can't try any other "update.app" unless I'm missing something here.
Any help in getting this unit at least back to working condition will be a BIG help. I just received this two days ago.
Thx!!!!

Yes, bootloader is unlocked. FYI, I can't do Vol+ Power or 3-button force. I have no idea what went wrong after the B331 update.app flash. It said successful then boot loop after. I have looked all over the forums and tried everything from flashing C900B300 rollback to try and get 4.4.2 that I started out with, but I really don't know which firmware to start with. The last update.app files I was using was the European variants. Phone was originally locked to Ecuador MoviStar network at B120SP04, then I flashed up to B324 5.1.1. Rooted and then wanted to upgrade to B331 so I unrooted and flashed. Now I'm stuck.

Thank you very much....hope that will solve the boot issue and bring this unit back to life
Alright, so I've given up complete hope that I can get my unit back up and running again. I've tried so many ways already with no success (fastboot/adb, force upgrade, etc.,), and even tried to copy my second HAM7 images (via sdk tools) and to no avail.
The thing I'm trying to understand is where exactly do I start with trying to revive? When I first got this device from eBay, it was apparently still on "MoviStar" Telefonica-Spain network so my network bars showed "R" for roaming. Somehow, I was able to flash it from being on V100R001C00B120SP04a and upgrade to B127>B145>B324 which made me able to use my own service normally. It worked fine and I was even able to root it. Decided to do a last upgrade to B331 and while the local update option showed it as successfully installed, it went into boot loop ever since. Hence, I used European firmwares for most of the flashing. My second mate was on B145 and I was able to get that to B331, which is running fine right now.
ATM, I am ONLY able to do Volume-/Power to get into fastboot.
Doesn't work:
- V+/Power (stock recovery)
- V-+/Power (3-button force)
What works:
- V-/Power with USB for fastboot
*Bootloader is unlocked, but I do believe that after flashing the last firmware of B331, I may have done a factory wipe, which probably reset the USB debugging option as well. So, I'm sure I'm stuck with a device that just might be flashed on the wrong firmware and is factory reset which prevents me from flashing a custom rom or even the stock rom???
Any last advice I would be so thankful for...still waiting on the link for KangVip rom from (fazi2015)
All the best...

Okay, so final result is I'm stuck on a frozen logo now. The twrp bat file again showed success in flashing and rebooted the device, but I'm hung on the "Huawei Ascend" logo. I have to pull the battery to shut it off, otherwise it stays on. So I'm now sure that it's a hard bricked device since I did the stupid thing of factory resetting which probably reset the usb debug...making it almost impossible to flash any firmware now.
Thanks for the help anyways...I really appreciate it. Gonna throw this up on eBay and see if anyone wants it for parts

I know it's annoying but last time I research more and guide you I was have same problem don't give up....
I send you recovery flash in fastboot no need of usb debugging usb debugging need for adb not for fastboot in fastboot flash recovery by your self download it
https://mega.co.nz/#!GRw0CZjQ!iZllDkA6yJeWk7iEA4vEVA94r2nM_YjAuiS8B9IZdm0
then extract the zip go to resource and hold shift and left click then select open command port here then power off device completely boot into fastboot (bootloader) connect the device to pc and in command port type
fastboot flash recovery twrp_2_7.img
after that type
fastboot reboot and hold the volume- button of device it'll boot into recovery if you success then reply..
I've noticed two things when flashing KK or LP. On KK, the phone does a constant boot loop with Huawei logo (on off on off), but on LP the Huawei logo hangs...it doesn't boot loop. Is this an indication or just a fault with both OS?
Hi,
I have S8 Plus SM-G955F in Germany.
Dont knwo what exactly happend, but my phone was just still running fine (bootloader is unlocked) and I rebooted but then was stuck at "Installing system updates" screen which appear before getting into recovery. However, it does not enter into recovery and reboots after few seconds into "installing updates" mode which then fails.
It does not boot up into Android.
All I can access to is Download Mode.
I flashed "BL_G955FXXU1AQF7_CL11544126_QB13847503_REV00_user_low_ship.tar" Bootloader and rebooted and now it is stuck in Samsung boot logo. If I press Vol up + Bixpy Button + Power nothing happends, it does not even start to load Recovery mode.
I now downloaded following stock firmware through SamFirm: "SM-G955F_1_20171214140840_hlcm4r582t_fac.zip.enc4" (3332 MB)
but when trying to flash it in odin I get FAILED !!! Also if I try to flash TWRP recovery "twrp-3.1.0-1-dream2lte.img" I get FAILED in Odin I now also tried to flash "AP_G955FXXU1AQH3_CL12050265_QB14545623_REV00" firmware using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y0ZZxcNVnE which also FAILED. I think I am completely bricked !!
Please help, phone is completeley useless now
Thanks!

I had the same problem with downloading stock firmware. My problem was that I couldn't download from SamMobile because of server maintenance. So I downloaded from here. An with this tool there's the option to decrypt the file automatically. I forgot to tick this option and had a .enc4-file like you have there. The problem could decrypt this file and then I could unzip it and use it with odin.
So that's your problem: you are trying to use an encrypted file. But you have to use an decrypted file.

Hi,
thank you! But its actually not my problem. Samfirm decrypted and I got the zip with the BL, AP, CSC, CP files in it. But ODIN fails everytime anyway and I have no idea what I could still do now.

Usual behaviour was this: Vol up, bixpy and Power -> Recovery mode which fist starts with "Installing update..." then failed and then it goes into some black recovery mode where you can choose Apply update.zip etc. right? However, in my case this black screen with more commands did not show up, before it was rebooting again by itself.
Now I cannot even get into this "installing updates" mode before recovery, because "Vol up, bixpy and Power" does not bring any action.
Vol down, Bixpy and Power still works and brings me to Download Mode. But it doesnt help me, because once I tr to flash any firmware in Download Mode, it FAILS in Odin, so I am completely stuck, hope you understand

Download mode is the only mode you need for restoring stock firmware.
Try this guide. (Spoiler "Flashing Standard Firmware:")
Yesterday I did it with this one too and it worked flawlessly. But I used Odin v3.12.3 not as said in the guide V3.12.7.

it automatically loaded into recovery before, I was not able to boot into Android, it loaded recovery (but without black screen with more commands) automatically by default and rebooted, loaded recovery again and rebooted, loaded recovery againd and rebooted etc...all I could to to interrupt this was loading download mode.
However, thanks for the link, but it does describe what I did already. And yes, I also used Odin 3.12.3 already because in the video tutorial I linked some posts before they said also, I need to use that version.
However, it simply does not work. Odin FAILS everytime
I am not doing anything wrong, I am sure. The only thing could be that the Firmware I downloaded is still wrong, even I cannot imagine this.

Yes that's the only thing that comes on my mind too if you think everything else is right. Download another firmware file maybe from a different provider than SamMobile.
Or try using different USB-Port, USB-Cable and/or different PC.

Did already, did not help. I think maybe there is something realldy bricked, so flashing stock firmware wont be possible at all anymore?! Is this possible somehow?
btw: Just managed to load into TWRP, randomly it does load twrp, dont know how, because if I press the keys for loading into recovery, it actually does not do anything, but currently I see twrp.
Is see anything I can try from there? btw: formated data (incl. internal storage) earlier already, but it did not change anything.
But any idea what I can try to flash from TWRP maybe? Is there a way to flash stock firmware from TWRP somehow?
I found a backup in twrp, I am currently trying to restore it...

Google found this. But I don't know if this works. I only flashed custom ROMs via TWRP. Stock ROMs always via Odin.

My mistake, sorry - I posted in the wrong place- sorry. (I do hope you find a way to get t his fixed) good luck
I just ran into this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
It looks like you're not the only one...
You know, you might want to try and remove the more current apps you installed and see if that is causing the loop, and if that does not work, just dirty flash over what you have. For me, a lot of time a dirty flash will solve the issue, as it overwrites the OEM software, and in that manner, takes my phone OS back to normal/new state, while leaving my data.
Is there anyone here facing same with my situation? today i bricked my J4 plus, Dunno if its hard bricked or soft brick, I can't enter to download mode and system restore anymore. Im just trying to get oreo back because i fell little laggy on my current os (pie). I went to samsung service center and they told to use JTAG to get it fix but its too expensive for me to pay hundreds buck for this.
Thank you
its not bricked. your battery is full drained. i had the same problem and how i fixed!!! i presed all 3 buttons and put usb cable to my pc and my phone. it goes like bootloop starts and shuts. you will wait with pressed buttons from 5 to 10 mins depend how low is your battery. and finaly will go to download mode and you can flash it then!!!
Bricked my J4+
Can someone help me with a bricked J4+?
I wanted to install TWRP, I followed the guide to the letter on how to install TWRP.
After successfully flashing TWRP 3.2.3-0 and flashing RMM bypass zip (without booting to the OS) I also performed a Wipe Cache in TWRP.
I booted to the Samsung OS and the system overall felt laggy.
I performed a Factory Reset, still the system felt laggy.
I decided to use Odin and install the Samsung factory system (thus go back to Samsung OS).
I booted successfully and decided to give TWRP 3.2.3-0 another chance.
Odin resulted in FAIL when trying to flash with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
I tried different versions of Odin (from last to previous ones), different USB ports, I even tried another PC but no success.
I performed another factory reset and now the phone is hard bricked I guess because it will power on...try to get in stock recovery and Erase...and then power off. I can't get to download mode or stock recovery.
Any help I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks.

you didnt follow guide from letter to letter. is obviuosly you didnt do all you need to do. if you in pie update you need to flash twrp (you did) then NEED to format data(go to wipe choose format data(not wipe data,cache) write yes and swipe to format data.this step is important.then go to recovery again and flash pie patched boot.img and oreo enforcing.zip,then RMM bypass,and then you can do boot up your device.thanks.

The part where I had to format the data...I have missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
I took the phone to a repair shop because it is hard bricked and it needs jtag to unbrick it.
As soon as I have it back I will try again to install TWRP.

This is a phone from work and I did toggle EOM unlock and USB debugging in order to flash TWRP.
I did not enter any password, face unlock, pattern or sign in to google....nothing of the sort. As soon as I opened the phone from the box tried to install TWRP knowing it will erase everything after TWRP installation. I really hate Samsung UI and wanted to try Lineage OS or another custom ROM which is not laggy like ONE UI.
After installing TWRP the phone became very laggy (obviously I did not perform a format data...my bad) I did use Odin and flashed the corresponding firmware of the phone and it did that successfully.
I tried to give TWRP another shot by flashing it again but I was getting a FAIL in Odin with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
After this I tried to flash again the same Samsung firmware but kept getting the same FAIL and the same error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
I have tried all versions of Odin but the same FAIL and same error.
Now I can't even get into Download mode or Samsung recovery mode.
I press Volume Up + Volume Down and insert the micro USB cable....the phone takes at least 10 seconds to power up (Samsung logo) and then I see a blue screen with Android robot trying to perform an Erase and then fails and the phone powers off immediately.
As soon as I get the phone I will check your link on XDA and try a GSI ROM.
Which one do you recommend...this is a work phone, all I care about is speed and fluidity and it has to be a daily driver.

This is a phone from work and I did toggle EOM unlock and USB debugging in order to flash TWRP.
I did not enter any password, face unlock, pattern or sign in to google....nothing of the sort. As soon as I opened the phone from the box tried to install TWRP knowing it will erase everything after TWRP installation. I really hate Samsung UI and wanted to try Lineage OS or another custom ROM which is not laggy like ONE UI.
After installing TWRP the phone became very laggy (obviously I did not perform a format data...my bad) I did use Odin and flashed the corresponding firmware of the phone and it did that successfully.
I tried to give TWRP another shot by flashing it again but I was getting a FAIL in Odin with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
After this I tried to flash again the same Samsung firmware but kept getting the same FAIL and the same error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)

yeeeahhh. i am knowing that in hard way. you can check user data only if you have ORIGINAL firmware and not rooted phone(mean twrp),if you have rooted(twrp) then flash with or without user data. some firmwares on web can flash with user data, some cant.anyway as i say you can always ask for help.i will gladly help if i can. good luck.

What you're describing are symptoms of a flat battery and a direct boot to recovery.
To boot to download mode plug in the USB cable first then hold vol up, vol down and power until download mode appears.
There is absolutely no way TWRP caused the lag. TWRP runs in its own minimal OS environment and has no effect on a booted android OS whatsoever.
Lastly your device wasn't hard bricked, a device that powers on even if it doesn't boot is only soft bricked.
Usually recoverable using the right procedure.

I managed to boot into the Revovery and perform a factory reset, now the phone booted normally.
I will try and install TWRP.
When these strange things happened the device had over 80% battery...at least that's what it showed on screen.
Now I see that indeed it was flat 0% and you were right to point out that this is a flat battery problem.
Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

Yes Thanks. I am at 100% battery. Can I ask a few questions on how to install TWRP?
I am on Android 9.x.x PIE.
Install TWRP and immediately force reboot to recovery.
Flash the RMM bypass.
Format data
Boot to Samsung OS.
Is this procedure correct?
Thanks.

It's correct, but if you want access to the data partition in twrp you need to also install the encryption patch.
You will also need to either install magisk or some other patch that disables dmverity.

Got it, Thanks
From what I remember it had TWRP on it, I had it rooted on stock image for a while. Got absolutely fed up with their software and tried to install a stock android rom on it. Got through a few that wouldn't load properly so went to go back to a stock rom and it's stuck in a bootloop now. I've never been able to get into recovery no matter what button combo. It goes to the yellow text page then reboots. Not matter what combo of buttons i push.
Not really sure what to look for or what to do beyond this point as most help i've found has been guided to get into recovery. The most I've been able to get is this basically a downward facing parentheses with a small circle that appears and runs through it.
Can you get into fastboot? - Turn it off, connect USB and hold power and vol -
If yes, its easy to fix. Or you can try going to eRecovery and Format all data and download latest software.
Just tried. That would be a yes.
bump.
Did you fix it or you still need help? If yes, what version of android were you using? Do you have an sd card you can use to install stock firmware?
The point is, we need to get you running on oreo, after that is everything ez. There is probably no way of getting oreo other way than using hisuite, but I dont know. For hisuite. To make hisuite show oreo update, you need to get latest nougat running on your phone. It should be ez with twrp. You can use firmware finder on windows or other phone to download proper full ota update and flash trough twrp. If anything, feel free to ask me here.
Still stuck at the fastboot option. I don't really remember what version it was. Whatever it was exactly 1 year ago is all I can remember. I don't think it was oreo though?
I can't use TWRP though, as I said, I can't get into any recovery stock or TWRP, only fastboot.

Did you tried Dload? It should work. Download latest nougat for your device from firmware finder and flash it with Dload.
EDIT: If fastboot works, just download latest twrp for nougat and flash it. After that just downlaod stock nougat and flash trough twrp.
PremiumBlaze said:
Are you able to flash anything in fastboot like the stock recovery?
Does fastboot say that the phone is unlocked?
Does fastboot say that FRP is unlocked?

Says both are unlocked. I flashed the latest recovery (for nougat) to it and both said ok.
Then I did fastboot reboot recovery command and it says OKAY on the sending, but under "booting" it says FAILED. Command not allowed?
Can't manually boot into twrp either, phone stays stuck on your device is booting now.

Hello all,
I own a Samsung a30s and decided to root it via magisk, all worked well until I decided to get TWRP on it.
I flashed TWRP via the app and it let me flash through it as my phone was already rooted.
After it had flashed, I restarted my phone and tried to go to recovery, but the phone just turned off, it won't get up, I tried to force restart it by holding down the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button. It turns on, shows the logo, and then shuts down again.
Cant go to download mode as well
HELP NEEDED!!!

Wait until the battery is fully discharged
Or open the back cover and disconnect the battery and then plug it in again
Try booting the device to download mode afterwards
