Hello,
My honor 8 is hard bricked, I wished to install custom Rom and it was encrypted so I decided to return to EMUI, I installed stock recovery I installed rollback package to emui 4.1 and emui 4.1 now i'm stuck on boot screen.
I can't go to Recovery settings or dload method, I can just go on fastboot and do nothing.
I can go to fastboot mode but I have this message when I try to flash anything... "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" FRP is locked
Will Phoenix DC will work for me ? To unlock FRP and flash manually ?
Please help me
You can try to boot a recovery like TWRP in fastboot mode
Type in:
Code:
fastboot boot "recovery.img"
You also can try to format the system partitions. It will maybe unlock FRP, but i don't think that it will work.
Commands:
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
Which model of the Honor 8 you have?
DC Unlocker is a nice idea. When nothing works, you have to use it.

Can't do any fastboot command I already tried it.
FRD-L09 32GB European Edition
I will try DC Unlocker.
If it's not working I will replace the motherboard but anyone knows a website with Honor 8 motherboard?
Thanks

Yeah I will try DC Phoenix after all. Does anyone have a DC Phoenix free account or something like that?
My phone was pretty screwed and I was able to fix it with DC Phoenix. It should be able to unlock your bootloader and FRP. This is the link to my experience, maybe it will help.

Hello,
When you want to flash your ROM, you go to fastboot mode and on Phoenix DC you should select APP file to flash. Which APP file should I flash, Nougat to Marshmallow package on hihonor website or for example B394 update?
Thanks

I ended up using the rollback to marshmallow package. Once I rebooted, the phone started updating. It took me like 3 or 4 updates to get to the latest version. The important thing is that you get the correct rom for your phone. Make sure everything matches up to the B--. For me it was (FRD-L04C567), If you flash the wrong rom your phone will be stuck on the version you flashed (phone won't update). I hope this helps and I wish you success.

I used Phoenix DC and it bring back my Recovery again, now I will do dload method with stock ROM, I will tell you more after I try to put stock into sd card and thanks for helping me.

Great!! I was looking for a new phone. Then I decided I would give DC Phoenix a try. Now my bootloader was unlocked and I think I might have gotten away with flashing every partition on my phone, but this way was so much easier and was worth the cost.

Thank God nothing happened to my Honor 8
Honor 8 hard brick and battery empty
I had a hard brick on my honor 8. And I only can go to the fastboot mode, because my battery is empty to go to recovery. If I charge my battery it goes to the bootlopp :crying:
Can anyone help me ? That would be nice
PS. Sorry for my bad english.

Flash TWRP Then, Flash A Full OTA PV From FirmWare Finder
How can I boot to recovery when my battery is empty. It shows always this stupid battery low screen.
Keeps booting to recovery mode and I have no idea how to install stock rom again. Is there a way through fastboot? oneplus recovery doesn't let you install anything.

There's no update through recovery and haha yeah lol. I love rooting and messing with things but I'm simply a teenage novice ? So not always the best with it all. Worst comes to worst I just wait for twrp to be released and fix it from there.

I'm sure there's a way without TWRP. I'd try to lend a hand but I've been away from OnePlus for so long I don't know how it's different than my Pixel 2 XL.
I'd dig around the OnePlus 5T forums. software wise, it should be the same. You'll probably find a quick solution over there. Good luck!
EDIT: Now I'm curious... Does anyone know if there is a way to lash a factory Oxygen OS image through fastboot commands? That would solve your problem, but I don't know if that's something specific to Pixel devices.
I hope u unlocked ur bootloader, also how the heck did u already soft brick
see if this works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMlj7rML10o
What did you even do to soft brick it? You could try fast boot flashing the boot.img again and see if it boots, get the one from the root thread if you're on the latest Oxygen OTA.

Did you try to flash stock boot img 5.1.5 in fastboot ?
EDIT : try to flash in both slots
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
SOLVED!!!!
Had to critical unlock in fastboot and restored to 5.1.3 by flashing all imgs. Then booted up and flashed from local storage 5.1.5. Phone is back up and running again ?

I guess the best way to go back to stock is using msmtool you can find it here: with android 10 for international and European version: Thread '[OP7PRO][LATEST OOS 10.3.8 GM21AA | OOS 10.0.10 GM21BA] Collection of unbrick tools' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...0-gm21ba-collection-of-unbrick-tools.3956595/

Hey,
I bricked my OP7 after what seemed like successfully installing and using Android 11. I am getting the Teamwin blinking brick.
This(

to flash the latest stable build on OnePlus support, i.e. this-

Or do you suggest to use the Android 11 firmware available on XDA?

I am pretty sure I know my OS, but is there a way to find out?
I was running the stable, but flashing stock boot just led me to a boot loop with the Original Recovery, it's giving me options to
1. Wipe data and cache
2. Reboot to fastboot
3. Reboot to recovery
The fastboot flash commands above to flash stock OS didn't work, due to one error or another.
Anyhow, I had read somewhere fastboot continue works(here: it wasn't working before for me), so I tried that again, and now I am just stuck on 1+ Fastboot screen. I will wait it out to see if it boots into system.
Otherwise, I am thinking I reload fastboot and flash stock boot just like I did- and from there wipe data, but what do I expect then??
The way I see it, I am just stuck in some serious boot issue, and might eventually have to go down the path of msndownloadtool, any suggestion?

Flashing the stock boot.img should be enough to boot into system without problems because TWRP can't decrypt data in android 11.
In this point you can try a factory reset from stock recovery this will keep device files but will erase all your config and apps
To figure out what version of firmware you had you can run this command in fastboot
Fastboot getvar all

Flashing didn't work to boot into system, I was just getting stuck in the Recovery boot loop, it finally booted into system once I wiped my data(files, music, etc -option);
I did try factory reset, only once I cleared the partition, did the boot loop give way to boot into system;
It booted back to Android 11, but it's all glitchy: Boot taking too long, WiFi not switching on, Call not working, Data is working though- basically it's very screwed up, got a couple of errors too- it's like watching an amnesiac old person.. if you get the gist.
So, now I am considering a stable build from Oneplus support website as a local upgrade and booting back to that..
I am hard pressed for options, let me know if you think something else works better, thanks!

I guess msmtool it's the best way to restore your phone, remember that msmtool will re-lock your bootloader so if you want root you need to unlock your bootloader again.
Use msmtool and instructions form Here(there's an android 9 and android 10 for Global and Europe versions, use android 10)

Hello!
I tried the search function but my search-fu isn't strong today. I got a Vortex V22 phone from Standup Wireless. I must have been half asleep, because when i flashed what I assumed was the correct boot.img, I got stuck in a boot loop.
On further investigation, I had flashed the boot for another device called Vortex. I am having incredible difficulty in finding the right boot image. The info I have from the side of the box is:
Vortex V22 4G LTE
Color: Graphite Blue
ROM 32GB
RAM 3GB
OS Android 11
FCC ID 2ADLJ-V22
I deeply appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!
i was trying to find a phone case for the phone what model number is yours ?
If you're still searching I can try to make a rom dump, I have this phone as well brand new untouched or registered.
I'd just need a tutorial on the proper way to dump and extract the files so I can upload the boot.img
_
I've never used it cause I put the StandUp Wireless sim in my T-Mo InSeeGo 5G HotSpot and prefer to use my Galaxy S8 with Keyboard Cover Case and Unihertz Titan Pocket
Just dumping the firmware from mine, using SP Flash Tool. Used this guide: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-12719.html
Will remove userdata & cache, but there is a LOT of gbs of system data. This phone is appearently Treble-enabled with VNDK ver 30, so yes, you can flash a GSI on there. Will provide a custom recovery necessary.
Edit: if you were wondering, this phone has a MT6761 with a eMMC flash.

Hi PicelBoi,
I have the V22. I've unlocked the BL and trying to install a custom rom via ADB or Fastboot but have had no luck. I try to erase or flash and I get errors saying partitions don't exist. Can you please help out with a recovery file?
I tried the hovatek guide but didn't have any luck, but I tried it before the BL was unlocked. Would that be an issue with the sp flash tool? I was told it shouldn't matter.

You need to reboot to userland fastboot, which you could do by rebooting to normal fastboot then telling fastboot to reboot to fastboot by typing in fastboot reboot fastboot. You will see a new screen, and now you could flash a GSI to the phone.

Also this is a GSI image that works with this device - https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v313 - newer versions might not work unfortunately.

I was able to get a bunch of GSI's that work with it, including the phone you posted, but I was looking to get root and found a couple pre-rooted GSI's that work as well. Newer ones do work as well I has 13 rooted and working. However, I liked the Pixel ROMs the best and would prefer to install those instead and then root. So I need the firmware for that so I can patch a modified boot.img.

Thank you. I understand and have a lot of experience with this. However, I still never understood why there is two Fastboot's.
I can't get it to boot in one I flash the super that I backed up that don't get it to boot maybe I could use a good super. What about vbmeta?

Are you looking for a good GSI ROM?
As of right now I'm just trying to get it booted up with any room. I got it rooted and then something I ****ed up when I tried to flash a GSI. And I started messing with the boot a boot b vbMeta from system and blank. And I don't have the firmware an the super that I backed up won't boot when I flash it.
But yes I am indeed looking for a good running a12 rom

I completely messed up one messing with partitions and it took many tries trying to get to was able to still get to the bootloader fastboot and then recovery to fastbootD. You should be able to get it booted into fastbootd and flash as it seems you can.
Try the one below. you should be able to find it with a google search. If you can't let me know and I will try to look and see where I downloaded it from as I cannot remember where I found it.
I've tried many GSI ROM's Some boot fully, some only boot to the boot screen and some won't boot at all.
I'm using 13 rooted LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
It is vanilla. I can't remember if there is a GAPPS version or not. But you can load it all after with magisk. But its rooted.
I still would like if picelboi could share the stock rom, so we can have a boot.img. I would like to try other ROM's that are not PRE-Rooted.

I can't remember which A12 I had working but I was looking for root and the one A12 that was prerooted I had issues with so I went to A13.
This is an A13. LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
There may be a newer version of it now.
Also, these phones seem have that internet connect issue with some GSI ROMS and this is one of them I think, they connect to wifi but they won't actually connect to internet, but there is a easy fix for it.
Alright I finally rooted my Google pixel 6a using the pixel flasher and it is a really nice tool. My problem now is this phone isn't supported on the twrp app.and I don't remember seeing the option to flash twrp from the pixel flasher. Any advice on where and how I would go about getting a recovery installed? Thanks

Pixel devices do not have dedicated recovery partitions, as Samsung devices do. The recovery kernel is in the boot image.
There is no need to flash TWRP on a Pixel device. If you want to use it, you can live boot it, but for the most part it's unnecessary because we can flash partitions directly from bootloader.

I think he means this, live booting into any TWRP img doesnt work, he is asking for where to find a custom recovery to live boot or whatever, right? @Kerrylee1738$$$
Yes that's right... I figured Google pixel 6a had twrp but after looking it didn't. Any advice on a alternative to TWRP would be greatly appreciated

Depending on what youre wanting it for, there isnt an alternative.
Using TWRP to flash a ROM on a phone is the only way I know how. Would ROM manager work on flashing this nitrogen ROM I downloaded?

You have to flash it with fastboot mode and stock or lineage recovery.
ROM's are flashed either via fastboot or as an OTA in recovery.
I decided just to wait for a twrp recovery to become available and started working on my xt2131-1 and OnePlus Nord device again.

TWRP will likely never be available for this device.
That's kinda disappointing
