Huawei g735-l03 (a.k.a Honor 4x) bricked - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, i wrote this post asking for help
anyone knows how works image downloader tool? (flash tool for kirin based processors)
first of all, i have to clarify that my phone are'nt really an honor 4x, is an huawei g play g735 (same phone but rebranded and with worst stock rom)
i updated my phone with honor 4x roms, all worked well, but...
i tried to flash twrp in my g735,but without success, I followed the classic steps with Christian care, i've unlocked bootloader with nvpotatoes (currently 2021 pain) installed drivers (adb/usb drivers, and COM 1.0 testpoint drivers) i've entered in bootloader and flashed a lot of times (twrp.img https://dl.twrp.me/cherry/twrp-3.5.2_9-0-cherry.img.html) it stills booting into huawei recovery instead twrp recovery, i guessed that might be honor 4x roms tricked in my g play, i tried downgrade via fastboot flashing extracted files from UPDATE.app from g735-l03, i messed up all, and currently i only able to send fastboot and adb commands for my phone, i readed an method consisting of bridge test points and use image downloader tool (cause my phone uses kirin 620, i have to forget qualcom/snapdragon based methods) but there's a kind of format of rom that uses xml instead .app and after several hours looking how can i get this kind of files, i get tired, so... anyone can help me?
seriously i would be too grateful
thanks for reading

One last thing via flash tool could work? I think you can flash it with the phone turned off and here is a several flash files: https://huaweistockrom.com/huawei-honor-4x-che1-cl20
That's it best wishes and I hope you can solve the thing!

[Q] Deleted system, only TWRP left.. what now?

Hi
I accidentally deleted with TWPR the system of my OnePlus One and it seems I cannot install a new rom.
I downloaded gapps and the original Oneplus One rom (zip) file and also the android stock. None of them works. It seems I need a
different format/special rom do recover from this. To make things more complicated I have a Mac and most instructions I've found are for windows.
Is there any rom I can transfer after mounting and flash via TWPR? I don't know much about android development so I appreciate technical details in replies.
Thanks!
Exactly which zip files are you trying to flash? What are the filenames?
Transmitted via Bacon
use a toolbox and an option to flash to stock

i assumed you fixed this since we have not heard back from you. Just an fyi - can you at least let people in your thread trying to help know you have been successful in doing what it is you were trying to do.
If not then simple download any rom transfer to your phone and flash it with TWRP and thats it. May I also suggest you dont use a toolkit since it will not give you the knowledge to fix your phone in the future
Indeed, i fixed it last night. Thank you very much.
It was too late for me to be able to do the captcha (actually, even now it's difficult).
I was using the Mac OnePlus One toolkit which is a real life safer. I already learned quite a bit but I was grateful to have the support of the toolkit. There are quite some hoops to jump through and I needed to use fastboot. Due to some reason I wasn't able to just flash a rom.
Cheers

Here's a hint. Fastboot IS how you flash a new room for the first time had you not used the tool kit you would have seen this and done it that way lol

Lenovo s5 (k520) ZUI 3.7.177 ST Got root anyone?

Just got a new Lenovo s5 (k520 running ZUI 3.7.177 ST) but can't root it (tried KingRoot and Root Genius so far).
It has a nasty little OS (ZUI 3.7) which keeps killing apps it doesn't like. It took me two days to find an adblocker which would work (AdClear) after trying Dns66, Blokada and a couple of others which I can't recall. It's tightly locked down.
* Anyway, my question is... Has anyone had any luck with rooting this phone or OS?
* Or, has anyone any suggestions for apps or rooting options which might be more successful?
If there's any other people out there with this phone, I would seriously consider chipping in to buy one for a dev to work with... give me a yell if you're interested.
Cheers,
Specs:
OS ZUI 3.7 (based on Android O)
CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 2.0GHz Octa core
ROM 64GB
RAM 4GB
Edit: Hmmm, I was hoping that the latest Magisk beta (16.6) might help, but no luck. It does seem to get further along but fails with an 'unable to find boot image' message (my apologies for not being able to quote that accurately). Nothing seems able to find that .img. Can't back it up either as no app can find it. Yes, I need to brush up my adb skills ...my last effort ended in an error reporting lack of appropriate key, as I recall (sorry, have a bit of a flu just now). Anyway, has anyone else been able to look at this phone? Anyone have any ideas (or just thoughts) about what I can do here?
Thanks.
Just to update.... I have tried every simple rooting option I can find -with no luck.
I have found one reference to installing twrp & rooting this phone, but I'm unsure how legit it is ...it just looks a little like its put together by a script; but maybe they just copy/paste a lot when writing tutes? (I have written to them but have had no response from them in a week). The tutorial makes reference to a dev/group in China successfully installing twrp, but only on a Chinese release, not international.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows of the group or people referenced at
http://tutoraplikasi.com/cara-root-lenovo-s5/
or if anyone might have an idea of the dev(s) in China working on twrp & lenovo?
Just a shot in the dark, really, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Cheers.
OK, looks like time for some more serious reading and brushing up of old, much neglected skilz... I will probably close this thread and open another ( if there's no objections) in the xda twrp forum.
If anyone is interested, I'm looking to compile twrp for this device with a view to flashing magisk. Hopefully, it will work. Seems that adb & unlocking the bootloader is the only way I'm going to get to actually see the partitions holding the IMG files etc. (Though I do have one or two ideas about escalating privileges/permissions, but that's a whole other bunch of research -and time which is always short.)
Anyway, if you have an interest in rooting this phone have a look for a thread under twrp Q&A.
Cheers.
Seems like it was just a matter of waiting... XN Logos has come up with a solution, it appears --
https://www.stupdroid.com/2018/07/root-twrp-lenovo-k520.html?m=1
At least I managed some in depth reading in the meantime. I'll report back on success of the procedure.
Hi I have also a Lenovo s5. I hated zui 3.7 too and I succeded in installing Lineage OS 15.1 by phh using only fastboot mode... I tried rooting It but unsuccessfully. Now I want twrp and if it would be possible even root. Did you succeed with XN Logos?

Haven't actually tried yet. After all that looking for a root solution I now have been too busy. Will probably do it this Wednesday. I'll keep you posted. Did lineage work well? Any bugs or other issues? ZUI is a dog.
Yeah everything is okay... In the previous updates there was a problem with the audio in ear but now is solved. The only thing that is a little (but not dramatically) worse is battery life because in zui the fact that the os kills every app in background makes the battery last longer.
Hey guys, I know it is no the perfect thread for this yet this phone almost doesn't exist anywhere on the internet. I have the same issue with apps closing as you do. I wanted to install Lineage OS yet as there is no official release for lenovo S5. I would really appreciate some guidance on which release would I install and how. Would it be via the twrp? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm a lucky owner of this beautifull beast, the Lenovo S5 K520, but with the horfull ZUI3.7. I always have been using Cyanogen and after lineage OS.
It did not luck for me to install it on the Lenovo S5.
I manage to install TWRP-3.2.2-0713 with the help of the S-Droid toolkit for Lenovo S5.
From there, I did try every rom from phh on this page : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690
but the best I did get is the first logo of lineage OS going on and never stop for hours. I also did try AOSP treble Rom from this site : https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659, but there I'm getting the Android text changing of ligth theme, but bothing more.
Could you please tell us the procedure and the version of the software you are using so that you are able to use Lineage OS on a Lenovo S5 K520?
Thanks a lot.

Hi i did in this way...
1)fastboot -w
2)fastboot erase modemst1
3)fastboot erase modemst2
4) fastboot erase system
5) fastboot erase boot
6) fastboot erase recovery
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot flash boot boot.img
9) fastboot flash system {systemname}.img
The only thing you should do firstly is download the firmware from a video in YouTube whose name is like "ROM Lenovo s5" or something like that and extract the firmware in order to have both boot.img and recovery.img. Hope I could help
P.s. I used phh lineage latest build
Lenovo S5 global version stock rom
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if any of you have a copy of the original ZUI 3.7 non-Chinese stock firmware. I had trouble with my phone and contacted the customer service. Unfortunately, they've sent me the Chinese version (K520_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00011.0_O_ZUI_3.7.355_ST_180412_qpst) and now my phone is almost unusable as the rom only contains crappy Chinese stuff... :crying:
All apps are Chinese and it contains no GApps... I cannot even restore previously save config.
Please help me and send me a backup or the original non-Chinese firmware.
Thank you very much
I didn't even know the existence of an original firmware for non Chinese phones indeed when I bought it it came with a horrible chinese firmware with few translations. Did you find it? Because I want to try it too. If you didn't find it I'm also going to look for it

[HELP] Redmi 9 Hard Bricked

Hello i've flashed a custom ROM for my Redmi 9 this morning but it failed.
Now my phone doing a big f* bootloop, the recovery (TWRP) is dead and the fastboot too.
I've found a tool named SP Tool to repair the phone but the problem is when i plug my phone to my computer the phone is charging (logic) and instead showing the animation of the battery it bootloop until it runs out of battery.
So someone can help me please
Thanks
Edit: Oh i forgot, now i've realised than when i flashed the rom i've wiped the entire phone (internal storage too)
My bad...
Is your device Merlin or Lancelot? If you're not sure, what processor do you have, Qualcomm or MTK?
If it is Qualcomm, try test-point method to access EDL mode, then use Mi Flash Tool to flash MIUI on your device. Read this FAQ to learn more.
If it is MTK, then follow this guide and download the tools used in the video from here. You can find your device ROM (Lancelot) here.
Just make sure you're flashing global version if your device is global or chinese if your device is chinese.
If you're not sure what you're doing, I highly recommend sending it to a professional.
Goodluck.
Hi, my phone has the codename Lancelot with a MTK Helio G80.
I will try, thanks

Both SIM slots have no IMEI? I assume you wiped all and didn't backup?
You'll need Modem Meta and ENG ROM to fix that, you can get the ROM and the specific way to fix it from here.
If you're lost you'll find all the answers in the thread, but don't be afraid to ask there just don't ask an already asked question.
Here is a brief guide made by the same person to provide the ROM.

This tool installs the driver required to unbrick your device, if you can find your device specific driver to install on your PC then you can skip using this tool and install the driver manually.
If you can't find the driver, then try using a different cable when connecting the phone to the PC. Or a different port in the PC (Like the legacy 2.0 USB port in the motherboard).
The tool should first detect any device connected to install the driver it doesn't work the other way. If it still doesn't work then your only option is to find the driver manually. Or maybe you can find an updated version of the same tool or a similar tool.

Thanks for your help. Actually I got it working with a lot of try and error... not even sure which drivers worked at the end. Also I had to switch to a win 7 computer. On win 11 drivers just didnt work. But with MTK Bypass tool + SP flash Tool, I was able to flash the stock image and recover my briked phone!

Glad it worked out in the end mate.
Might be a random guess but it could be because signature protection was enabled on the win 11 PC.

Hey, i can help you by sending videos that helped me to fix my problem but i've lost them.
Do you have a bootloader locked or unlocked? (here to know how)
If it's the 1st option, relax, you can modify easily
If it's the 2nd a little bit less
NB: i don't use really use this phone, just for developpment and some things than it can break the OS because it had some problems with apps and updates.
Have a great day and i hope than you have found a solution before my answer.

Someone help me please? Two days ago i bricked my redmi 9 eea after update via ota. He just died, no infinite loop or charge. After a tutorial from here was able to revive him with sp flash, phyton and other stuffs. Everyting went OK and my phone is alive again. Whatever now I've getting issues that weren't there before hard brick. My redmi doesnt recognize my Sim card. I enter my pin security and then don't get any sim card signal. Also can't log on play store with my Google account, i get this message "there was a problem communicating with Google servers, try again later." Tried to wipe Google play services data, also from play store, formated redmi from recovery but the problems remains. Maybe i need to reinstall rom again, im pretty sure it was the right rom i flashed because i download it from miui official website. Unfortunately after reviving my redmi with sp flash, my bootloader got locked again. Sense i cant log with Google account because phone doesn't recognize my chip to activate data sim card, i cant either unlock with mi unlock. Is there any solution for this? Thanks.
Perhaps flashing phone with another rom the problem gets fixed. I can still flash my phone with sp flash even with bootloader blocked right? My redmi comes with a European rom. To revive him i used rom last update, maybe should try a previous version?

CAT S42

Greetings!
Is there any way to root this device?
It's with android 11 LTE_C01091.11_NE_S42_1.010.00
Magisk need a boot.img but I can't find it...
Tx in advance
Hey Folks!
I got into trouble and need serious help with my cat s42, android 11.
I had looking for ways to root that device and find few articles about it, all of them saying needed to unlock bootloader. I did it from my linux box and adb/fastboot. What I don't knew it that it's not reversible, I cannot lock it again. The warning said that if proceed, I will need to reinstall the OS.
I really need root privileges once it's full of feature creep but now I'm trapped with magisk (v 23010) and latest kingoroot don't working with the device. It's bootloader is unlocked and device have some instabilities, catterpillar do not provide stock rom or any assistance in the case (shame on it).
So, what can I do? Can anybody give me directions of some procedure that work here? Lost my phone??
Thanks in advance!!!

Sorry for the late reply happy new year!
When you are going to flash a gsi for the firstime on a device always flash the gsi by phh treble because all other gsi are based on his.
flash that then see if everything works once you have done that look for a other gsi that u might like there arent many that get updated reguarly but i believe linage os does get updated regurally best try that one.
so flash a gsi and then right after magisk in twrp in your case that is not going to work because you dont have a custom recovery so you are going to be needing adb fastboot.
Didnt you ask this on a another forum called highonandroid ?
Thank you mstrnemo and Happy 22!
No, I didn't ask other forums, just searching to something to flash that device...
But you give me some clues to do that, I'll read about treble. I need phone, camera, and gps working and have to see it before flashing, that's the point.
Sorry if im not more helpfull but my knowledge of flashing a gsi is limited i only succesfully did it once.
in your case with no development for your device gsi is really your only option.
Edit: good luck !!! if you do end up doing it let me know i am curious about the results.

You must use msm tool to get back to the original Android version.
[MSM Tool] Guac for All
To everyone who donated, I love y'all. This took a really long time to get lol but it's straight from support and I did not make any modifications to it; I hope it helps a lot of people. The revision is listed in the archive, I believe it's...

Is there an alternative to msm
Well,
As you already know, your first message is quite confuse, we don't know what your flashed and where to..
Giving the details, your best chance is to operate the msm method to revice your phone. Especially, if this is an urgent matter;
Yours
