Hi hope someone can advise as I'm loosing the will to live
I've a mate 8 NXT-L29C636 which I believe is asia region although I've from the UK
I was running stock android 6 with EMUI 4.0
When I ask it to check for any update, it always came back with no updates.
I saw plenty of threads saying they had updated to android 7 and 8 and how they done it.
So I downloaded Firmware Finder from Google play and without too much difficulty managed to start installing firmware. That's when my problems started
This was two weeks ago and I've been spending 100+ hours trying to recover.
I think it failed a 5% or something and since then my phone will not boot properly.
I can only fastboot it and sometimes to erecovery and EMUI to wipe/factory reset
Searching forums it seems DC Phoenix was the only software that could help so I bought it.
So far I've tried flashing firmware from DC-Unlocker site in standard more but all goes ok with success for all the partitions but it requires the phone to put into upgrade mode, something my phone never does and I can't force it.
So that leaves me with advanced mode, again all successful but booting the phone just gives the huawei logo then reboots again
I've tried different stock roms NXT-L29C636 but they all claim successful but still can't boot my phone
I've followed the steps in DC-Phoenix instructions to no avail.
The last step today meant shorting a pin to ground to force the phone into a mode when it was seen as windows as Huawei USB COM device, which seemed to work.
The instructions claimed I can use any NXT board flash as they're all the same and again all successful i used
NXT-AL10_M00A102_Board Software_Global _Nonspecific_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_05021WLB_4.dtwork
but the log file now says build is;
Build number: HLNXTAL10BM00A102
Model: HUAWEI NXT-L29
Battery state: 3249mv
from
Build number: :NXT-L29C432B192
Model: HUAWEI NXT-L29
Battery state: 7035mv
So my question is am I using the wrong firmware? It is always successful so I don't think it's bricked but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong.
Other things to mention is pressing vol - and vol + and power with sd card and dload doesn't work either.
Sorry for long post and thanks for reading
Any help very much appreciated
No-one? I didn't expect a reply right away, but I can't be the only one with questions? Is there a better forum to post on?
Thank you
so for any noobs out there, got this work. My problem was the phone would never go into upgrade mode. The problem was in device manager (windows 7x64 but doesn't matter which version of windows), was when DC-Phoenix tried to put the phone in upgrade mode the command was sent and acted on but device manager showed warning triangles that it didn't have a driver or the driver was only partially loaded.
When I directed it to the downloaded Hi-Suite (which has all the drivers) it loaded the driver(s) there are TWO drivers on virtual COM ports. So if you phone is not going into upgrade mode best to check that Windows can actually see these TWO COM ports.
Hope this helps someone

Good day gents and ladies
Well let me start from the beginning.
I'm was using mi-globe 6.12.22
Last week Friday evening downloaded 7.2.9 mi-globe,read around the mi-globe forum.Didn't see anything funny so flashed via twrp on Saturday morning.Hmmmmmmmm this is when all my problems started.
Basically what I should of done is download 7.2.9,new 3.0.3 twrp for norgat,go into recovery flash new recovery, restart recovery,flash 7.2.9 and then have happy days.But it wasn't to be and now I'm basically sitting with a useless mi4c device.
The device works but warms up and I only get about 4 hours battery life.
If I try boot into recovery I just get black screen.
If I connect device to PC it is not recognized, have tried 3 x different laptop/PC's and different cables.
So fastboot,mi-flash,mi-unlock are all not possible as device is not recognized.
I have been trying different solutions without any success.
I think if it would be possible to root device directly without PC then maybe it will be possible to get flashfire working and I can flash new norgat recovery?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
NB.I have tried loading Qualcomm drivers ,google drivers etc etc.no luck can't connect my device too PC,either get device not recognized or the PC doesn't even see the device.Enable USB debugging etc etc nothing works.Been fiddling for 4 days!!!!!!!
Tried to root with kingoroot,framaroot directly on device etc nothing works?
Please help,else device is a nice piece of plastic that holds paper down on my table.lol

Is usb charging via pc working and have you tried miui updater? , This seems weird state you have ... If none working might be tried deep flash cable flashing ... Or go to nearest service center. Hope that help. Best luck.
Hi,yes USB chargers device via PC but that's all.
How does one deep flash,could you post link please?
I bought the device in China about 18 months ago,Xiaomi never sold mi4c in my country so doubt they could help me locally.
Seems I have soft bricked the device?Tried every thing no solution.
If it would possible to root without USB cable I could maybe try flash new twrp via flash fire?Then could wipe all and try start again?

For dfc here the link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/miui-deep-flash-engineering-cable-solution-to-non-edl-device/
Please take dfc as last resort. And do research more on this... Do with your own risk. Good luck
Hi,
Yes sorry I have tried updater, I download rom start updater it starts but after about 2 minutes stops and phones shuts down.
I then have to restart phone with long press of power button. It restarts but nothing has changed.
Wrt fastboot it goes into fastboot but this is useless cause no Pc can see my device and if it sees it it sees unknown device, spent countless hours trying different things without any success.
Seems have soft bricked the device, phone works but gets hot and battery life maybe 4 hours if I'm lucky?
Not sure what more today?

Before this has your pc able to use the miflash ? Try to follow this guide to setup it correctly http://en.miui.com/thread-136188-1-1.html ... I follow this guide and the adb n fastboot even works on an old pentium 4, 512mb ram, win xp laptop.
Ps: I think, its only a matter of incorrect driver setup on your side, best luck.
Hi, I tried to get update from C185B320 to C185B560 through https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/update-to-nougat-easiest-playstore-app-t3554957, but it didnt go well, so i rollback (coz people saying it works with lesser verison than C185B320) to C900B500 (i think, maybe B320).
Then i unlocked bootloader, installed recovery and twrp, then i tried to root my phone, but it didnt go well too. It only showed me that orange text, that it is unlocked and not safe or something like that, and device is booting in 5 sec, but never happened. I managed to somehow install back C185B160 (not sure how) and rooted phone correctly. Then i tried to rebrand to EU (C432) with guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZVsIKtdgV4. But at the end, i was getting C900B320, so i went back to C185B160 and it downloaded B560 update(with that app), so i was happy, put into DLOAD and started update, but it failed 5%, so i tried another update (C185B162) and after i put this into DLOAD and succesfully updated phone, it is not responding anymore. Display not working, phone not vibrating when restarting, led when it is plugged into the wall, or PC not lightning up. Only when working with SRK, or italian knife and reboot phone, it makes sounds when you disconnect your device from your pc and connect back in.
Can you please help me, i am pretty screwed up.
EDIT: ok i managed to get into the phone again, but my sim is not working (in DC phoenix is shown at the begining as Current version: NextL09C185EMUI50, but later as Build number: :NXT-L29C185B320, Product model: HUAWEI NXT-L29 how can i make my simcard working again?
Hi, how get back in your phone? i´m in the same trouble but i cant back in the fastboot or something again? Thanks in advance.

Hi there!, i just bought a Huawei Maimang 5(MLA-AL10, Chinese Version) two weeks ago, then i noticed it had android 6.0 so i decided to upgrade it to 7.0..., since the Huawei Updater didn't find any update for my cellphone i downloaded FirmwareFinder App and use it instead, it worked but during the process the phone just rebooted and got bricked.
I tried to "save it" installing a new firmware via MicroSD, using Huawei eRecovery and Adb Tools, and nothing worked. Here my doubts:
1. Via MicroSD: i' m not sure the firmware i put on the card was the correct, i have found a lot of MLA-AL10 Roms and tried them all without any good results, the phone just start installation and at 5% reboot itself. Is there anyone out there who can help me finding the right one?
2. Via Huawei eRecovery: after i connect to a wifi network, my cellphone shows the next message: "There's no info for the package installed" and the only options i have left are: "Shutdown or Reboot", so i discarded this solution.
3. Via Adb Tools: using command "ADB DEVICES" shows empty list, i have no idea what i am doing wrong, my laptop recognize the phone and HiSuite too, but not Adb.
Hope someone can help me out.
Note: the phone has USB debugging disable.
Try recovery http://www.hardreset.info/devices/huawei/huawei-maimang-5/recovery-mode/
I forgot to mention i tried that too, and i cannot wipe data..., after 5% or 6% the EMUI logo dissapear and shows an exclamation mark.
Maybe this post will be help you https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/help/boot-to-fastboot-mode-flashing-restore-t3550116
The solution is DC-Phoenix + 15 credits
Hello hope someone can help please have been trawling forums for a week now without getting anywhere.
I was running nxt-l29c636???? tried to upgrade via app firmware finder, first two I picked just failed then I picked older one thinking I might need to go from android 6 to 7 then to 8
Now it's stuck in a loop.
The firmware I picked looked like it was installing but failed early on 1 or 2 %
I can get to erecovery - does nothing and I've tried copying update.app to SD card and holding three button method but it does nothing.
When I fastboot it and rescue mode my phone status is locked.
Anyone know how I can recover please?
Ideally just want to flash it and if so it'd be great if it was android 8
Thanks for looking
So I fixed this by using the excellent DC-Phoenix, my problem was drivers
So for any noobs out there, got this work. My problem was the phone would never go into upgrade mode. The problem was in device manager (windows 7x64 but doesn't matter which version of windows), was when DC-Phoenix tried to put the phone in upgrade mode the command was sent and acted on but device manager showed warning triangles that it didn't have a driver or the driver was only partially loaded.

Hey guys!
i'm a bloody noob.
i never did something like unbricking my phone or wiping it or flashing it. It was my first time doing something like this because i just hate stock roms nowadays.
to unlocking the bootloader on my phone was no problem. but the problem was, that i updated my phone to adroid 11 and all the files i found in the past (half year ago) was for android 10, i think.
BUT I DIDN'T KNEW THAT BEFORE! I didn't knew that it would cause problems or that i had to be cautions about that.
Whatever. I tried to follow the instructions on this site: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/guacamole/upgrade
the twrp site i used was: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/guacamole/
Is the data "https://eu.dl.twrp.me/guacamole/twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img.html" from 2021-11-22 know for adroid 11?
Because half year ago, i think, this all didn't work because there was no twrp for adroid 11 outside.
to be honest i don't know if i tried to install something else too in the past. i don't remember anymore.
I stuck half year ago on this bootloop problem. and i didn't worked again on this phone. i thought i could just wait for a new data for android 11 and try it later again.
Later is today but i made i worse!
I downloaded from this site https://download.lineageos.org/guacamole the file:
lineage-18.1-20220227-recovery-guacamole.img
after the command 'fastboot flash boot xxx.img' i reboot my phone.
Now my phone is displaying :
qualcomm crashdump mode
dm-verity device corrupted force dump
kernel-restart
what can i do now?
If i press the sound buttons + off-button i come the the boot screen which says:
blablabla
internetsite
press power button to pause boot
but this display won't stay long enough. after few seconds it's again on this crashdump mode
edit: i think i wiped in the past the whole os. And now? What should i do?
On this MSM Tool my phone isn't recognized. even with newest driver or other cable.
What should i do know? Is my phone lost now?
If some can help me please write exactly down what i should click / download etc.
If someone can german here and knows help, please help me in german. but don't have to. i'm glad if anyone can help me.

From what I can gather from your details I would try to get the MSM tool to work, it sounds like a driver issue, just make sure you uninstall previous driver first then go here
https://www.getdroidtips.com/download-qualcomm-qdloader-hs-usb-driver/
and get latest driver , follow all instructions,, also make sure your PC is installing all the optional drivers in the windows update section while your phone is connected to the PC, hth,, good luck
