[Q] Is there a way to recover from a hard-brick?

So I basically made an update to 3.0 beta software made by Huawei for H60-L04, but the update bricked my phone (I think it has to do with the fact I had flashed 3.0 L01 firmware on my L04 some days before).
My phone now won't turn on, even if I plug it or hold Power for more than 20 seconds.
Does anybody know of a way of making it work again? I won the phone through a partnership between Honor and another site I go to, and thus I don't have the invoice, so any RMA return is impossible for me.
Thank you.

matzehtc has nearly the same problem. He flashed the L04 on his L02 and tried to flash it back to L02. More info about his problem is in the main HH6 thread
I have a L12 with L04 Firmware and I want back to L12 too. But atm I am to scared to flash it back to L12
So I am interested too, if there is a way reverting back to L12.
I flashed the offical 60-70 MB revert update from Huawei (EMUI 3.0 to EMUI 2.3). After this I could flash the L04 Update. No root no unlock was needed.

I found matzehtc's posts. Unfortunately, they didn't really help me, because on mine, even the 3 buttons procedure doesn't switch the phone on.

If you charge the phone, is the charging led flashing?
If not, maybe its in some strange loop and its needed to disconnect the battery or wait till it is empty. Disconnecting is a litte bit hard in this phone.

Nope, no flashing led.
I'll wait till it's empty, but it's already been 2 days and it's still not.

You don't have adb access into the phone either? I had bricked my phone earlier, but I managed to recover it by accessing the device through a software called QtADB and reverting back to the original system files.

No, I don't have access to that.
But today, Huawei agreed to exchance it for a brand new unit, so I guess it's okay. I just have to send them the bricked phone and I'll get a new one.
Also, thanks to everyone for their answers. I don't think I'll be flashing another Chinese firmware anytime soon now.

How you managed to get feedback from them? I wrote an email one week ago and till now not a single answer

I wrote them on their Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/HonorFR ), and they told me to write them an email at their support email ( [email protected] ).
Don't know if you can contact them like that outside of Europe, but you can go there: http://hihonor.com/support and send them an email through here too.

Thx, but it seems the german Huawei Facebook team do not care about giving support. Like the mail support... no reaction.

The German support generally ignores every request seemingly. If then I'd ask the British support (or the French if you can)

Yeah, after nearly 2 weeks they answered my email. They told me that they only give Support for phones which are available on their german page and do not support customer with imported phones.
Gesendet von meinem H60-L04 mit Tapatalk

Got my new unit this morning, and in the meantime I had received my TouchPlus screen protector... I can say it's a really nice combo.
And the French Honor team is really nice, too. They are really fast responding and really seem to care about customers, which to me is a nice thing. I also had a software bug with the Bitcasa app and they said they would contact their dev team to fix it asap, so I'm pretty satisfied with customer support.
Well anyway, thanks everyone here who tried to help me too!

Bricked Mate 8. Touch functions no longer working

So to make things worse, I no longer have Touch function in TWRP, eRecovery, or any other pre-OS environment. Can anybody shed some light?

You reached the same dark place I reached one week ago...I tried to root b560 after upgrading to Nougat from b200 on L29 C158....but I could not and the system failed then I tried to go back to b200 ...My phone started to do strange things like failure to fast boot any ROM ..at last touch stopped ...Finally, I destroyed my phone when I purchased Credits on DC Unlocker and tried the second Method on their site ...The result was that my phone is dead (No power...No Battery Working....No charging ....Not recognised by PC) so I advise you to stop at this point till you find a way to fast boot Nougat....Do NOT go back to 4.1 as it will surely destroy your phone permanently....

Thanks. Do you have a link for the Nougat ROM I should use?

Nougat won't do a 3 botton restore. The problem is in the fact you deleted the inf files for touch. I have a friend that works at huawei that can fix this with out wrecking your phone. Pm message me.

When People more read in the Forum,no Problems with all.
I flash Nougat on my Phone as C636 or C432 and go back on Emui 4.0 or 4.1 and all without any Problem.

Phone bricked? Anyone got any advice or should I just buy a new one.

So after problem after problem trying to root my phone.
1-Twrp crashing when trying to install SuperSU
2-phone failing to mount /Data when wiping etc (Formatting data to other types wasn't working). I got desperate and entered some guy's cmd suggestion into fastboot.
This is when my phone crashes and displays RGB blocks and will only reboot into eRecovery where it says Download latest version and recovery, but cannot find the package info.
Berate me. I have brought shame on my family. Any miracle advise before I buy a new phone?

No access to twrp. As much as I beg it, it just goes to RGB then eRecovery. (Give me the word and I give up)

the same problem happened to Vikram ( the guy who owns an honor 8) ,he just send to service care, they said the motherboard is crashed , he repaired under warrenty[[ note ::your phone should not display the boot warning ,otherwise it won't come under warranty ]]

Sorry, i'll be more concise. Thanks for this btw.
I can't get into TWRP, it reboots into a screen with a green background and a blue square and red square, then to the Huawei eRecovery screen that says "Download latest version and recovery", "reboot", and "shutdown".
FW is firmware yes?
I'm not certain, I was on the latest EMUI
Model is FRD-L09

No it doesn't say any of that, just goes to the RGB
Do you think that because I had to register to get my OEM unlock code, does that mean they won't do the warranty?

Ok, give him to service and i'm not sure what say in service. Talking about twrp, bootloader... etc isnt the best idea. I dont know, just happend when you turn on device... or somethink like that

I will do definitely. I'll get back here in a week or so

All fixed!
So it was quite simple really, I called up Huawei giving an appropriately vague but true description of what had happened (obviously not mentioning any rooting or anything). I guess it helped that the "this phone is unlocked and not trusted screen" doesn't show. They organised for it to be taken in and fixed, then a few weeks later they sent it back fixed!
Praise Huawei!

Fake Rom

To anyone who has bought a xiaomi Mi 5X and has a multilanguage rom, DON´T try to change the rom unless you wannna get a beautiful Brick.

Yeah! I have one device with this problem. After flash ROM in download mode, when try to power on device, this comes in 900E Diagnostic mode. Tried test point and flashed ROM again and after finish, again no boot, device is in 900E again and again. I have a nice paper weight here now! Please, someone post a way to fix this!

This happened to me today. Flashed TWRP and followed up with MIUI 9, on reboot...nothing. After much research I’ve ordered a deep flash cable as a last hope. I also get 900E in device manager.
Wife not happy.

i'm disappointed rigth now.
:crying:

I purchased mine from Offical Xiaomi Store on Aliexpress ( I know not official ).
The flash to twrp went perfectly, not sure why it screwed up so badly.
People who have done testpoint, which rom did you flash?

I tried all available ROMs for Mi 5X using test point method and doesn't work unfortunately. After flash with success, when press Power Button to Power on device, this comes back to 900E diagnostic mode.

What about just twrp? Boot to recovery?

When flash via download mode, no way to boot like in fastboot mode, then no way to access recovery anymore. Someone, like Guy that install this hacked ROM for sellers need to public the method to recovery It or publish moded ROM for try to flash this again or a way to recover device for use with official ROM again.

When I did the install, TWRP installed and booted to recovery without a problem. When flashing MIUI 9 I do recall an error about missing firmware, not sure if that was a problem. Seems strange the MiFlash and official ROM cannot fix this. I have doubts that the seller is going to help me in any way....

Yeah. The better way is open dispute and send it back and get New one with official firmware out of box or get money back.

So is this something that only happens to the phones that have the global rom flashed from the seller? As in it can be avoided by asking for the phone with stock software/firmware?

I have the same problem. Phone ordered from GeekBuing and Fake Global ROM. I think Xiaomi has not issued a global ROM for this phone yet. I have already written to the retailers that I want to complain about the phone and let me write about how to revive it. So far no one knows what to do with that, is it?

Absolutely I do not understand why flash there such a dull ROM. They had to know that people would want to flash the original ROM. Those bricks are their problem.

Yeah friend! idk why this! People that bought it know that this comes with Chinese ROM or Global ROM when it has Global ROM. If device has only Chinese ROM, sellers want to keep it and users choose if unlock bootloader and change the ROM or not.

Exactly.

Anyone can extract and upload this Fake rom, so we can at least have an slightly working phone? Or anyone managed to install other rom?
Thanks

Did anyone try to revive the phone via a deep flash cable?

Well, just want to know how to flash my device. Thanks for the help, everyone!

You can flash via OTA image. If you flash the China ROM, you lose your Google services.

How do i flash via OTA?
I had a blackshark 1 with chinese rom, i was able to install google services and apps, i think is the same for this one right?

On an pending OTA update you replace the downloaded image with another on of same name.

i got a pending update. I have the file to an Mp4 chinese version, just copy the mp4 and rename it on the ota_package folder?

I used the phone for 5 days, but when I turned it off, it didn't turn on and there was no signal except for picking it up in the task manager on my computer.

You should send it for repair or send a replacement to the store due to initial failure.
There are so many threads
No one can rewrite the ROM,
I'm talking about the world view if it is.

Do you think the motherboard is damaged? When I connect it to the computer, it appears in the task manager Or is the problem only taking off? I haven't used it much and it hasn't fallen off How did this happen

How does this blackshark4 enter 9008 mode? I think it's in EL mode, but it's a DEEP FLASH MODE USB cable Did you use it? Either way, without FULL ROM I think I can't do anything.

I took the phone to the specialist and he told me that the problem was the death of the bot and he gave me two solutions The first is the use of test points But I don't want to unlock the phone The second is to make a flash, but I did not find the firmware I'm sick of this phone

There is no choice but to inquire the firmware persistently with the seller or give up.
As far as I can see on the internet, I can only buy from the factory for money.
XIAOMI does not have a specific factory. Where is the factory
do not know.

Hello guys,
perhaps anyone can help me to flash my black shark 4 CN to global. I don't have the menu point "mi unlock status" The device is connected with my Mi Account but I can't bound it with Black shark account (must bound for unlock?) because I have no CN number (I live in Germany).
Hope I find help here
Thanks and Regards
