This is an english only forum as per forum rules. If you want to use another language you have to provide an english translation as well. You can use tools such as Google Translate to help you with that.

HELLO,
it's been over three weeks I am trying to solve this problem, but nothing.
I have a motorola atrix 4g android 2.3.4, wanting to install CM7 on my atrix, I did all the steps (root, unlock the bootloader and change the recovery), I installed CM7 using rom manager (download).
I finished and I reboot my atrix and to my surprise, the atrix is frozen on motorola logo with "unlocked" in the upper left.
when I connect to the computer, it lights is still frozen on the dual core motorola logo.
help me to unlock my atrix, I thank you in advance because I'm desperate and no telephone.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE, IN ANY WAY, OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE IF YOU DECIDE TO FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS. READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE TRY THEM. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, ASK IT BEFORE ATEMPTING ANYTHING
That being said....

Which howto (guide) you were following? I don't recall seeing one which indicates to install a rom through ROM Manager....
First, download the rom again, but this time on the pc.
If you want pure cm7, then download it from cyanogenmod's repo, the latest nightly works flawlessly (I've used it for almost 6 months) or download one of the custom roms from this site.
Don't forget to get the google apps if you wish to have play store
Ok, which recovery you installed?
If it was cwm, then try to boot to it (turn on the phone, holding down the VOL- key until a text appears below the "unlocked" word. Then, release the vol- key and pu**** several times until the words "Android Recovery" are displayed, then press vol+ to confirm and access recovery. In cwm, go to mounts and storage and select "mount /sdcard" if you have an sd card, otherwise select "mount /emmc" instead. Plug the phone to the pc and, from a command line enter the following command:
if you mounted /sdcard:
adb push <full-path-to-rom's-zip> /sdcard/
if you mounted /emmc:
adb push <full-path-to-rom's-zip> /emmc/
Once it is done transferring, unnplug the phone and in cwm go to mounts and storage and select "umount <the option you selected earlier>" and after that, format /cache, /data and /system.
go back to the main menu and select install zip
here you got two options: Internal storage and sdcard, select the one where you pushed the rom's zip and in the next screen select the zip. Confirm and installation will begin.
Reboot and you should be good to go.

Step-by-step guide for unbricking a Photon from an ota update brick and recovering from a "failed to boot 2" or "failed to boot 3" error when booting.
Also, big note, this is NOT for 2.3.4 users!
EXTREME thanks to peetr_ for ALL of this info and getting myself and probably countless others fixed. All the links are files he uploaded personally and all these instructions come directly from him. Be sure to thank the crap out of him if you get your device fixed through this method.
1) Make sure you have all the motorola drivers (I assume you do otherwise you wouldn't have been able to brick your device).
2) Make sure you have a FULL ass charge. Not 90%, but FULL! I know it doesn't charge when it's in the failed to boot mode. I bought an external battery wall charger from Overstock for under $10 shipped, I suggest you do the same.
3) Enter Fastboot mode by holding the volume up key while powering on your device.
4) Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
5) Open command line on your computer (Windows key + "R", then type in "cmd") or (Windows 7: Open the start menu and type "cmd").
6) Download and extract this file: (uploaded by peetr_) http://d-h.st/xl8 (if no hyperlink, copy and paste the previous text in your browser). There should be a "boot.img" file and a "recovery.img" file.
7) It is VERY helpful to have all your files in one directory, all your fastboot files, ADB and all that jazz should be in the same directory as well as all the files you've downloaded to flash.
8) In command line type in "moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img" (assuming you followed step 7). It will say "sending" and then "writing" and should only take a few seconds. Your device will say some things too. After this, restart your device and your phone should boot in for the first time since you bricked it. (That was the greatest thing to watch after being bricked for 3 weeks!)
9) You're not quite out of the woods yet, 4G and WiFi will not work yet. Hold the power button up while powering on once again to enter fastboot mode.
10) Once again in command line (assuming your phone is still hooked up) type in "moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it will send and write.
11) If your phone wasn't previously rooted or if somehow you lost root go ahead and root it now (just google the oneclick method).
12) Download these modules http://d-h.st/aAi and store them on your device, SD card or internal memory.
13) Download the RootExplorer app and navigate to the zip on your device, set it to Read/Write on the top of the app and hold the zip down until you get a menu, hit permissions and set them.
14) Hold volume up while powering device on and you should get into Bootstrap recovery.
15) Hit "install zip from SD card" and navigate to the file and install it.
16) Boot the device normally and congratulations! You now have working WiFi and 4G on an electrify flashed Photon! OTA updates will NOT work and you will NOT be able to unlock the bootloader via pudding for Custom ROM installs. If you hate blur like I do, download "GO Launcher" or my personal favorite "SPB Shell".
I appreciate your effort. Just highlighting some inaccuracies.
This is only for failed to boot (2 or 3) after ota 2.3.5 update. Not after flashing Electrify sbf. You never flashed that.
And you cannot flash modules with android recovery option in bootloader menu, you had to install bootstrap recovery or copy with root explorer and set permissions one by one.
And give there a big warning, that this is not for 2.3.4 users.
Other than this, it's good.
Edited! Hopefully it's good enough to help some people now.

first off, i just wanted to state, before i get ripped into, i have spend the last 1.5 days reading everything i can find on any forum that comes back with search results for my issue. i've tried numerous drivers, different PC's, even a Linux Live CD system.
I cannot get my PC (win 7, 32 bit) to see my TF201 via ADB.
It is installed in the device manager with the "universal naked driver 0.7", and shows up as "Asus Transformer Prime ADB Interface". But whenever i try to connect via ADB to run the fix in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088 - i cannot see the device.
I have tried all of the mount/unmount options in CWM. nothing is working for me.
is there anyone that has run into this? And if so, have you found a resolution?
sorry if i'm coming off as the typical noob here, but i really have put in time researching the issue and attempting other fix-it routes before posting up a help thread.
Thanks!!

Update****
I was able to get it out of the boot loop, so that it will boot to the splash screen. well following instructions i've found online, when in CWM, i connected through ADB and pushed a copy of cm9.zip up to the internal storage.
yet, whenever i choose "install from zip" in CWM, it never finds the zip file.
i have done it a few times now and it says it copies up completely, but never actually shows up.
syntax i'm using: adb push cm9filename.zip "/sdcard/cm9filename.zip"
it takes about two minutes and gives me confirmation that it pushed x amount of bytes of data for the file, and says its done. I then go back to the tablet in CWM and choose install from sdcard, and it says there are no files.
I'm about ready to throw this thing in the trash and be done with it......
First of all make a small text file and zip it up for a test file that wont take long to push.
Now type adb push test.zip /data/media/
look if the file is showing where you go to install a rom.
If it is showing then push the rom to the same place then install it

I am having the same exact problem. It started when I tried to restore my stock backup that I made using CWM 5.8.2.0 coming from the CM rom. I am stuck in the CWM recovery screen and cant get ADB to see the TF Prime. I just get error: device not found. How did you manage to push a zip if ADB wasn't seeing your device? I have been looking for a fix for the last week now.

the problem is whenever it try to fastboot it just keeps saying waiting for device. I can put my TF prime in fastoot mode when I power on while holding down on vol it just goes right to CWM recovery and any adb command gives me no device found and I tried APX mode (holding vol up during power on) and tried to use NVFlash but that just gives me an error device not recognized. I have all the drivers installed. I used the naked drivers .7 and have cleared out all the old drivers too.

you hold the volume down until the screen starts, then you let go and wait

As I stated above holding down Val down while turning on does not bring up the menu it still just boots right into CWM recovery. i have no option for fastboot or anything.

No, you hold Vol down + power then when the first screen with sentences appears you release everything DON'T touch anything, after 5 secondes you will end in a screen with three icons, with volume down youu select the usb icon in the middle, then volume up.
This procedure works even on locked devices except that in this case you don't have the usb icon, only the factory reset and cold reboot ones. So it's impossible you don't obtai this screen, it's hardware coded.
It is confusing but just keep trying till you get it!! Once there go to the TWRP site they have the file and the fastboot commands all set in a guide.
I have exactly the same problem than you.
I had the fastboot/adb connection (I used to push the rom by adb), but i tried to install a wrong version on gapps. Since then, I'm stock in the recovery mode without adb/fastboot connection.
If you find a solution for that, pleaze post it !!

Hello, I'm a little bit new to all this, so any help and detailed instructions are very very helpfull.
So I have Gigabyte GSmart Aku A1 device (MediaTek 6589), I don't know if it's bricked or what but apparently is not working quite well.
When I turn on my phone, it just loads and loads and loads and nothing happens (waited for about 4-5 hours), that was starting to happen after I somehow installed CWM on my device with some tutorial, CWM worked for the first time and after next reboot, it disappeared and stock recovery came back (and the problem with infinite loading screen - only showing logo).
I have ADB drivers installed, SDK aswell, tried to put stock firmware (got it from official site) and in like 1/4 of installation it says:
Code:
symlink: some symlinks failed
After that, I tried to install few versions that I downloaded from that official site, but same error again and again. (I tried to install with SD card and with ADB too. ADB is only working when I go to "apply update from ADB" in recovery. I have also used 2 different types of SD cards.)
That didn't worked either, so I got to some russian forum, and using google translator I downloaded 5-6 types of custom ROM's / Firmwares. That didn't worked either, one time when installing one of those ROM's - it said something about signature..
After that I was trying to install those ROM's with ADB and with SD Cards aswell, but turns out that every single time I get error saying: "Installation aborted.".
I have ofcourse tried to wipe data/factory and to wipe cache too, but nothing helps..
Also, when I'm in ADB console, when I type any command besides adb sideload or adb devices, I get error saying: "error: closed". I cant get into fastboot with adb console.
I really don't know what to do anymore, so any help would be very very appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance, if you need any videos, pictures or something, just tell me.
Edit: When I go to "wipe data/factory reset" in recovery, it says: "Mount /data error.".

i would look for stock rom in form of full mtkdroidtools backup and preloader drivers for your mtk chipset
and flash it using flashtool (it uses preloader[you can determine if it's available/undamaged by turning phone off and opening device manager on pc and plugging phone to pc if there will be a flash in device manager before the charging starts it will flash ])
This is now DEPRECATED and NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE since there is an easier method to do it! Links won't get updated! You can still use the written info!
If you want rooted kitkat head to my friend's thread @maxx_hr (THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK!) HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/development/kk-kk-kdz-p710-root-t2950532
Hello to you all!Warning:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="4"]Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about all contained in this tutorial
before you follow it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
But since i'm a nice dude i will try to guide you anyway:)[/SIZE][/COLOR]
In this tutorial we will learn how to:
- achieve root on our L7 II (Both single and dual-sim, so P715/P710 and all the derivated phones from them) by LG running a Custom Rom or Stock KK Rom.
FOR THIS FOLLOW ALL STEPS.
- unbrick/flash to a specific firmware using Lg Flash Tool (In this tutorial there are only 2 KDZ files stock JB for P710 and P715. If you want to recover from a brick or want a different KDZ file you can find them over here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/)
FOR THIS FOLLOW STEP 1 AND STEP 2 (install all drivers including adb and download the files that are needed at Step 2).
- flash with CWM (There are 3 methods I describe. Use the one that suits you the best. You can flash any *.zip that is suitable for your device.)
FOR THIS FOLLOW STEP 5.
Save your data you need, you will lose all data so backup with Titanium Backup or a program you like the info you need.
ALL DOWNLOADS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!
This tutorial will be split in steps as the following:
1. Preparing the Windows machine with the right drivers and software.
2. Reverting back to Jellybean Stock Rom.
3. Rooting on Stock Rom (Jellybean).
4. Installing Unlocked Bootloader and ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM).
5. Flashing KitKat or a Custom Rom through CWM.
6. Flashing Root through CWM.
So let's start the job.
1. Preparing the Windows machine with the right drivers and software.
Uninstall everything related to LG from Control Panel (Drivers, PC Sync etc).
Restart your PC.
Download and unrar the archive "LG Drivers.rar".
Install both files inside and restart your computer.
Download "adb-setup-1.4.2.exe" and install it (answers should be y y y and install the drivers when prompted).
Download "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk".
Download "LG Flash Tool 2014.rar".
Download "Free LG P710.rar"
Download "P710 Stock KK.zip". -> Stock KK image with Stock KK kernel in it made from the original V20 KDZ (Open Europe).
Download SuperSU
*Download "P715 Stock KK.zip" and "LG P715 (JellyBean).kdz" if you are running a dual-sim version of the phone.
*Download all the files you need!
From now on I will consider you have this files and I will just call their names when to use them.
2. Reverting back to Jellybean Stock Rom.
Open the back cover of your phone and pull the battery out. Wait about 10 seconds. Put the battery back in.
While HOLDING (keep pressed) the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON insert the USB Cable in the phone (you need to have your USB cable inserted in an USB 2 port from the back of your PC).
When you see the yellow screen with emergency mode stop pressing the button.
Unplug the USB from the phone and then plug it in again.
Unrar "LG Flash Tool 2014.rar" and open "LGFlashTool2014.exe" with right-click Run As Admin.
*If you cannot open this program you need to install "VC_RedistInstaller.exe". You are missing some libraries of visual C++*
*IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER PHONE (another LG or P715) DO THE SAME INSTRUCTION AND REPLACE JUST THE KDZ FILE ON "Select KDZ File" TO THE ONE YOU DOWNLOADED AND IS SUITABLE FOR YOUR OWN DEVICE.
Move PhoneMode from DIAG to EMERGENCY. Select KDZ File: you have a file called "V10J_00.kdz" in the same folder as the tool. Select that. Press CSE Flash (CAUTION!!! This will reflash the phone and YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA SO BE WARNED).
Another screen will open and press START.
Another screen will open once again press OK.
At a point you will get an error like "Offline BLA BLA". DON'T DO ANYTHING DO NOT PRESS OK.
Wait until your phone reboots and then you can close this tool.
Remove USB cable.
IMPORTANT STEP:
Pull out the battery. Wait 10 seconds put it back. While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON press POWER BUTTON. Wait until you see LG logo and stop pressing POWER. Keep pressing the other 2 until you see android robot doing things. Wait until the phone boots.
CONGRATZ you are on JELLYBEAN (Or the KDZ you chose).
3. Rooting on Stock Rom (Jellybean).
When you see the welcome screen just fast forward everything.
Go to system settings->security->tick Unknown sources->OK.
Go to system settings->developer options->OK->tick USB debugging->YES.
With an SD card reader or with your USB connected as Media Sync (MTP) copy the "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk" to your SD Card.
Using the phone's FILE MANAGER go to external_SD and click the Framaroot you just copied. Run it using Package Installer Just Once and Install.
When finished press OPEN. At the first choice choose Install SuperSU and then press on "Gandalf". You will get Success. Press OK and reboot.
You will see SuperSU in you apps.
YAY! IT'S DONE.
4. Installing Unlocked Bootloader and ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM).
*SAME FILE YOU NEED FOR LG P715
Earlier you have download "Free LG P710.rar" and in the first step you installed ADB. We will use that now.
Unrar the "Free LG P710.rar" and place the 2 files ON THE ROOT (only on root) of the SD card using device mounted in MTP mode or SD card reader. Put back the card if you use the second option.
WARNING!!!
This can mess up you device so just do what i say step by step!
Plug the USB Cable in the Phone once again and use MTP connection mode.
Click Start+R type CMD and press ENTER.
Run the Following with copy paste to CMD.
Code:
adb devices
You will see your device.
*IF YOU CANNOT MAKE YOUR DEVICE BE RECOGNIZED IN "adb devices" do this:
Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=ro
Open terminal and continue with the steps down below.
Code:
adb shell
You will see something ending with $.
Code:
su
Unlock the dvice if it is locked and your phone will ask for superuser permission press GRANT.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/APPSSBL.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
This will copy the unlocked bootloader to the bootloader partition.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
This will copy the CWM to recovery partition.
Code:
reboot recovery
This will reboot your phone in CWM if you followed all steps correctly.
GREAT SUCCES we have an unlocked bootloader and CWM.
Close your CMD.
Unplug USB.
5. Flashing KitKat or a Custom Rom through CWM.
*IF YOU WANT TO FLASH ANOTHER ZIP FILE OR YOU ARE ON P715 JUST USE THE ARCHIVE YOU NEED AS REFERENCE, NOT "P710 Stock KK.zip". CHOOSE THE FILE THAT IS MOST SUITABLE OR YOU THINK IT'S BEST FOR YOU
I made "P710 Stock KK.zip" you downloaded. This is the stock image for KK Open Europe. Here you can either flash mine or search for a Custom Rom for your device. Either way you will follow the exact same steps but with a different archive. I will take for reference the "P710 Stock KK.zip".
Plug USB in.
You Navigate using Volume Up Button (UP) and Volume Down Button (DOWN). The Power Button is OK.
Do this:
- Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
- Go to "mounts and storage" and do the following: "format /cache" and "format /system" everytime with YES as second option. Press "go back" once.
- Go to "advance" and then "wipe dalvik cache" and YES. Press "go back".
Here you have 3 options.
OPTION 1.
Use an SD card reader copy the Zip file to the root of the SD card or copying using CWM. Using CWM you navigate with Volume Up and Volume Down to "mounts and storage" press POWER BUTTON (OK). Go to "mount USB storage" and your SD card will appear in windows and you can copy. After that you press "go back" 2 times to get to the main menu.
Go to "Install zip" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Search for the zip file and press OK then go to "YES" and press OK. Wait until done.
Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
OPTION 2.
Copy the file using adb push. Open a CMD window in Windows (Start+R type CMD press ENTER). Copy this:
Code:
adb push
With the space. After space go where you downloaded the zip file highlight it and drag it in the CMD. Leave a space after that and type /sdcard (without space after).
Wait until done and close CMD.
After you copied the file to your sdcard go to "install zip" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> search for the "P710 Stock KK.zip" press OK then go to "YES" and your installation will beging. Wait until it is done. Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
NOTE: In the zip i made i don't know why i couldn't sideload it but usually you do not have to copy to SD card to flash something. You can sideload it. All you have to do is:
-Go to "install zip" -> "install from sideload"
On your computer open a CMD and copy this :
Code:
adb sideload
Copy with space and after what you copied grab the zip you want to flash and drag it to CMD. Hit ENTER. Sideload will send the zip to phone and process of flashing will start. After it is done reset to factory again.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
CONGRATZ YOU ARE NOW ON KITKAT. I HONESTLY THINK THAT YOU SHOULD GO FOR THIS CUSTOM ROM OVER HERE BECAUSE IT IS LIKE 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THE STOCK KK. TO INSTALL JUST DOWNLOAD THE ZIP FILE FROM THERE (V2) AND FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL WITH JUST REPLACING THE ZIP WITH THE OTHER ZIP.

6. Flashing Root through CWM.
On some ROMS root will not be there. To avoid this we will flash the SuperSU zip.
To get to recovery you have 2 ways:
- From you ROM connect USB as MTP or in a way that ADB recognizes it (device gets detected by adb devices) type adb reboot recovery.
- Close your phone. At the same time press VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON. When you see the LG logo stop pressing POWER BUTTON. Keep the others 2 until you are in CWM.
Install the SuperSU zip with one of the ways you learnt at step 5.
You are rooted now.
Hope everything worked out fine for you and you are happy. Have a really nice day.

Does P713 have NFC?
This method actually works for dual sim too,you just have to use P715 kdz's.

Yeah it does. Maybe this weekend I will mod it. It is usefull for recoverying from soft bricks also just Step 1 and 2.
it was great till i get stuck on boot loop ,,, now how to solve ?
thanks for the useful guide.
I have a problem though, I cannot go after kdz extraction.
LG Tools stops with an cryptic error like [009.400.120.120.120]PC????? and looking at the log it seems there are troubles in unpacking the kdz file.
I have tried with different roms but still the same.
Does anyone has the same problem ?

I can't really understand you. The point of this guide is to get root on kitkat so flashing with lg flashtool will not work if you want kit kat rooted. I tested that V10J on my own l7 2 (p710). Also if you flashed Jellybean did you press CSE Flash not Normal Flash?

Ok do that step again. Flash with that tool using the image i provided. After the last ok. Even when you get the offline error don't touch it until phone reboots. If you get bootloop do this.
1. Pull out battery. Wait 10 seconds. Push battery back in.
2. While holding POWER DOWN + HOME BUTTON press POWER BUTTON. Wait until you see LG logo then stop presing POWER. You will get to see android guy doing stuff. Then tell me if it's ok.

Don't forget to press the thx button it's in the right . I will add this to the tutorial I didn't need it but who knows.
I managed to do the "root" step, but somehow cannot proceed with the next step.
When I check "USB debugging", the phone doesn't connect to the computer for some reason. I tried multiple computers, with no luck. The "adb devices" says just empty "List of devices attached".
If I disable the USB debugging, the phone gets connected just fine, if I enable it again, it gets stuck on "Connected as installer", and doesn't connect as MTP....
Any idea how to fix this?
Do you have drivers installed? Also when you press MTP cancel if your phone wants to install anything.

I tried everything, without luck. I ended just using terminal emulator to copy the files on phone directly (might be cool to add this to your tutorial, as someone else can also have this problem). So, now I'm on Amigas ROM - makes a HUGE difference! Thanks, looking forward for some other custom ROMs for this phone..

Strange huuummm. I don't know. Yeah i will add Terminal Emulator also in weekend. Never happened to any of my phones before... Maybe driver conflict on your PC or something like that.
Hello,
I recently attempted to root my Huawei Honor 9
I was able to successfully unlock my boot loader and (i think) install TWRP. I used a CMD command to reboot it into recovery mode, although from here-on out things went very bad. Here are some problems that I have been having
1) I CANNOT get out of TWRP. It says that I have no OS installed. Everytime I reboot I am greeted with the TWRP application I attempted to install a custom ROM, although now I am getting many errors [such as failed to mount '/cache' (invalid argument)]. These errors show up for everything I do, such as attempting to wipe my phone and also installing ROMS
2) My phone no longer shows up on my PC, although I have been able to use my micro-SD to transport files to and from my phone to my computer
3) The internal storage shows up as 0MB
pls help
many thanks if you can

Shutdown phone, connect USB cable to phone and press POWER plus Volume down button. This will bring you to Bootloader, use HWOTA script to upload stock firmware.

You can follow this guide:

Note:
I recommend you follow the second link, it will be easier for you. Get external SDCARD, copy UPDATE.APP in /dload folder and instead of dialing on phone (which you cannot), use enforced update:
Step 1. Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) to the root directory of the Micro SD card. Check the file list is right.
Step 2. Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the Micro SD card into the handset.Press the VOLUME UPandVOLUME DOWN key, and then press the POWER key to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode.
Step 3. When the progress bar stop, the phone will restart automatically.
