Hello everybody!
I'm newbie in Android, but have a little experience in flashing several devices. I hope that dear guru of this Forum will help me; alone I already have not any ideas to do.
So. Here is the phone. It was played by the little child and now anyone does'nt know what was exactly did with the phone.
Now I have "body", that vibrates 7 times while booting and stops on the HTC logo. After that powers off only by long pressing "power" button.
When connecting to the PC it boots to bootloader and stops waiting user reaction:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I downloaded an "RUU_PROTO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.18.401.1_Radio_10.21.40.06U_1.10.40.23_release_295191_signed" and tried to do something. It recognizes the phone, shows me OS version (2.20.xxx) and suggested to flash to the lower version. It's no matter for me, what version of software will be installed on the phone: I just want this device work. It starts flashing, reboots the phone to fastboot mode and waits something (RUU writes "waiting for bootloader"), after some time RUU says "can't connect to the phone" and suggest only one button - "exit".
I decided to go further and starts reading about ADB and fastboot. Downloads a couple of stock recovery images with 2.20, but "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" fails with an checksum error.
After reading some forums I found an answer, that it happens because of locked bootmanager. Ok, I'd start searching any information about that. Registered at htcdev.com, followed instructions and obtained the unlock_code.bin. Executing "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin" causes choise menu on the phone's screen: UNLOCK or DO NOT UNLOCK and what is the most interesting: when I choosing UNLOCK - pushing on "power" button to confirm my choise did'nt do anything. Like I'm not pushing anything. Selecting DO NOT UNLOCK - pushing on "power" couses reboot without any changes.
After all of that my ideas are ended....
Can anyone help me what to do? Or it is better&faster to throw this over a window?
Thank You very much for any ideas.

So I've been researching this all day.. A friend gave me his phone and asked me to fix it. I charged it, and tried to boot it up, but all I'm seeing is the bootloader. I've tried to enter Fastboot, Recovery mode and Factory Reset, but all it does when I try to select an option with the power-button is go to the "next item". Pressing the volume up button also takes it to the "next item". Pressing the volume down button does nothing, which is weird, because that's the button that's supposed to go to the "next item".
Now, I've tried installing HTC sync manager on my computer in the hopes of maybe being able to do something, but whenever I try to install it, it gives me this error (sorry for the Swedish, it's just saying that an error occured during the installation of something, device component? That last word might be translated wrong):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what the bootloader looks like:
I've tried a few ADB commands, to no avail. Running
Code:
adb devices
returns an empty list. The same thing applies to
Code:
fastboot devices
Trying to run any other fastboot command just says "< waiting for device >"
I'm not able to boot up the Android OS, or anything else for that matter. Trying to turn the phone off boots it up into the bootloader again, forcing me to leave it plugged in so that it doesn't run out of battery.
The drivers appear to be installed just fine on my computer, even though I can't seem to install HTC Sync Manager:
I'm running out of ideas, and I'm not sure what to Google for anymore. I'm not sure what's been previously done to this phone. Is it possible to just, completely reset it through a computer, using a USB cable, even though I'm having difficulties doing the things mentioned above? If yes, how? What to Google for?
Thanks,

Hey,
I recently got a cheap, slightly used chinese version Nokia N1. But because without the Google Services its pretty much useless to me, I want to root it and install a custom ROM.
I followed 2 tutorials:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/help/nokia-n1-root-t3125771
and
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/general/play-store-howto-t3118965
But I always get stuck on the part with the Recovery Launcher.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To give some background, here are the steps I did:
Because fastboot and the launcher won't see my device if its in MTP or PTP, I disabled both. That seems to work fine.
I "unlocked" oem in the developer settings and also allowed USB debugging.
I started the Recovery Launcher with admin privileges and used option T4.
It boots into recovery mode, but I just get errors all over the place bacause the device is still locked. So i just typed "fastboot oem unlock". Then T4 again.
Thats where this error occurs. From what I read, this should put me into a CWM recovery session. But it doesn't. It just stays in the fastboot mode window.
I'm pretty new to this android modding thing, so don't expect to much knowledge from me.
with much thanks

The thing is, there are no other solutions out there I really know about. I searched google up and down and got no real result.
I think my problem is that my android version isn't 5.0.x, like almost every english tutorial suggests. It is 5.1.1.
oh God... my fault sorry
Hi,
using the Hisense A5. A family member was using the phone and put in a passcode that they forgot.
I am unable to get far enough into the phone to enable USB Debugging.
I am able to get the phone into recovery mode (using power-on, volume down). which is the "Vision" recovery system.

I cannot speak or read simplified chinese. Because the Hisense A5 has an eInk screen, I was able to scan the screens and upload it to an OCR site that could convert the image into characters. Then I could use google translate.
Anyway. I chose the first option which is "Recovery".
The screen I get is the following.
Using google translate. I can make out that the first choice is "Reboot", second choice is "Delete user data" and the third choice is "Update system".
I have tried the "Delete user data", and I can seem to make it work. But after the phone reboots, the passcode is still there.
The only other possibility I have is the third option which is "Update System". If I choose that I get the following option.
As you can see, the only thing I am able to do is to get the recovery system to to somehow load the file "update.zip".
I have tried the commercial passcode remover iMyPhone, but it didn't work.
If someone had some ideas, I would really appreaciate them. I am very much stuck right now.
If you don't mind losing data then you can simply reflash your device.
Download the actual chinese Firmware from here

Hi JLowe, a very big thank you.
I was able to download the firmware. (Took a few attempts, but I got there in the end), and have it installed.
Right now, I'm trying to work out how to put the phone into debugging and put on some other ROMS. Similar to what others have done.
So I have been trying to get TWRP onto my Moto G Power 2020 phone to prep it for a custom rom but am completely stuck.
To start, I am on Ubuntu 21.10 but have had luck using ADB to install Lineage on a tablet so I am a bit beside myself.
I have been following these instructions https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-moto-g-power/
The steps I have done are:
Unlocked developer mode and turned on OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
Turned off the phone, held the Volume Down and Power Button down until to switches to Fast Boot Flash Mode (For some reason the Volume UP+ Power doesn't do anything but turn the phone on).
Opened Terminal in folder I have the TWRP file and ran "fastboot devices". The phone shows up.
BUT when I open terminal in the folder that the twrp file is in and run "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img" it starts and then errors out with:
FAILED (Write to device failed (No such device))
fastboot: error: Command failed
I even tried running "fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img" but it does the exact same thing but the error is:
FAILED (Status read failed (No such device))
fastboot: error: Command failed
I would love any assistance because I'm not seeing anything out there that reflects the issue that I am having. I know there are A/B partitions but I'm not sure if there is some additional step that I am missing.

One thing that I do notice is when I am looking at the phone screen when it is in Fast Boot Mode, it does say oem_locked at the bottom but I have OEM unlocking turned on.
Edit: I also saw that one issue might be that I need some OEM unlock code but the OEM code prompt is still giving that same error of No Such Device

Again, not my Picture.
Acording to Huawei, You have to Use HiSuite to recover it.
1. Put the Phone into Fast Boot. AND conect to PC
2. Open HiSuite on Your PC and click on Recovery mode or whatever its called.
3. i donk know i forgot.
anyways, i get this nice little message
(In translated, this means That: Your Device doesnt support System Recovery.
Bro wth
Anyways, our phone story doesnt end there...
I tried doing it without the Computer.
using eRecovery!!! not surprising i know...
Still, it was stuck on booting animation trying to enter eRecovery.
According to Huawei, "this message is displayed when a system file is replaced or modified, or the system is manually updated to an unofficial version". They were responding to another user with the same issue as mine.
I think that this is the Issue. Still, the instructions to fix it, dont work. (as tested above.)
Tutorials show the eRecovery method without the PC.
Here are some info i found:
Another Guy having the same issue:
i forgot the link but someone else on XDA Had the same issue.

hello sir did you have any luck resolving this issue (I've purity much looked every were but I had no chance)
