Hi, this is my first thread.. I'm from Argentina so i'm sorry for my bad english..
I've problems with my atrix ATT.
Since a week i've been tried with GB roms and ICS, JB, but yesterday, I realise that couldn't erase anything, i tried to erase internal memory from the phone, even from the computer.. It looks like it makes the erase, but when I rebooted the phone, everything it's like before..
I tried Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, and when i reboot, again, nothing happened.. It's just like before was.. I tried erase with scripts, with fastboot, but nothing.. I tried to flash some rom's again but i couldn't..The phone flash the roms, but when it starts, it starts like before, nothing changes.. The phone is working, and fine, but, i can't change roms or put files into the internal memory because when i unplugged the phone from the computer, the files are not there.. It's like the internal memory is in only read mode or i don't know..
When i tried to restore my nandroid (in other times it worked fine) when must to restore data it says Error while formatting /data! .. I tried from advanced in format data, but it says Error formatting /data.. I know that i can't flash the original firmware because i've unlocked the bootloader, so I beg you for a solution.
I really would appreciate your answers, and more if they are in basic english... hahaha
PD: i think it's in the correct section, i apologize if it's not there..
Root?

Do you have root access? and if so your apps may be stored on your sd card wich would cause them to stay after a data wipe.
fastboot erase everything except radio , including sdcards and do frash nandroid . Maybe it could help !

I tried with fastboot, but nothing happens either ..
It seems very likely this is a hardware failure. Not sure there's anything you can do, other than send it in for repairs...
In which case they will very likely either replace the motherboard or just give you a new phone, in both cases you might end up with a nonunlockable BL.
Sucks, I know.

i'm looking everywhere for a solution, but don't find it.. My warranty is void now, and a change of mother board would be too expensive I think.. I know that this is crazy (having an unlocked atrix 2.3.6), but i think that i don't have other option that trying to flash the .sbf 2.3.6
Do you know someone who did that?

I am having this exact same problem
Epinter cm10
cannot format, cannot flash, errors while booted up
It looks like a problem with mounting data drive, or some problem with the data portion itself.
When i wipe, nothing happens, if I try wiping individual drives, I get errors when trying to wipe /data and /cache.
If I try rebooting into fastboot, it wont detect it on my PC (and it seems to get stuck at starting protocols on my phone).
All in all, I have no idea what the solution is, or even the problem... but this certainly doesnt sound good :/

I've been trying with many things, I can use the phone, but i can't save anything.. I tried deleting the partitions by adb but, when I did that, the partitions don't change.. Like you said, i don't know very good what is the problem and less the solution.. I hope someone help us.. If i find a solution, i'm gonna post it here.. please do the same if you fix the problem.
This has probably been covered here previously, but i searched fro several hours and tried several different things before giving up and just asking...
I have an 8gb NT, and i was running CM7 on it. I installed CM7 with Clockworkmod on an SD, but i had installed TWRP locally on the device. I was going to flash CM9 on to the device today, so i turned it off and went to boot into recovery mode, but i quickly noticed that there was something wrong with cyanoboot. It just boots in to recovery, there is no menu, just a loop. In TWRP, everything i try to load comes back with a "can't mount..." error. I read in several places to try certain rom installs through clockworkmod, so i booted to the SD card, but that doesn't work either. I think it is probably an error with the partition tables, but i was unable to find anything telling me how to repair that, though i found a lot of places and articles that said that it can be done. Does anyone know what might have happened here, and more importantly, how do i fix it? At this point i would be happy to go back to stock if i could...
OK. So. I've been encountering nothing but problems since I received my Huawei Ascend P2 phone.
To begin with -
I bought the phone for the sole purpose of it being 4G/LTE. When I got it, I couldn't figure out how to get it, so I contacted Three and was told that my phone had to be 4.3 - it was running 4.1.2.
When I tried to get 4.3 through whatever means, it stopped working.
I tried to do a complete factory reset and now I'm getting many more problems -
I keep getting errors that anything Google related has stopped working (especially Google keyboard).
My contacts won't auto-sync, despite me having my Google account synced up with it.
The icons at the bottom of the screen (back, home, settings/whatever else) won't light up and the home button isn't working.
It's a different loading screen than normal - before it was a Huawei Ascend splash screen, now it just says "Android".
It is not being detected by my laptop whatsoever.
When I try and download anything using a browser, it says "starting download" but nothing works.
So, anyone have a solution? It is driving me demented. And all because I wanted bloody 4G.

I think we need some more info on the attempt to upgrade via whatever means. What steps / guide were you following? Did you install a custom rom? If so, what rom and what recovery are you using? From a few minutes of searching around, it seems that there is no official 4.3 update for the phone, and just being ON 4.3 itself will not automagically enable LTE service as this has much to do with the radio/baseband used as much as the actual operating system and that will not get updated via a custom rom (99.999% of the time unless SPECIFICALLY stated). Seems like they are working on an LTE capable update/patch for 4.1.2 soon according to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50495570&postcount=162 (that post is part of a thread about your phone on a UK carrier so should be pertinent).

Thank you for your reply.
I'll talk you through the steps I took as much as I can.
Firstly I rooted the phone using eRoot, which did work and allowed root access.
I then downloaded P2Tools, which was obtained from this thread and it allowed me to put CWM on it.
Once this was done, I attempted to put CM 10.2 on it, but kept getting a Status 7 error. Some quick Googling later, I discovered this video, which showed how to solve it.
When I followed the steps on there, I kept getting a Status 0 error.
That was when I started to encounter those problems, so I wiped everything I could, even system, but that part failed.
And that's about it.

K. So you are still on the stock rom, rooted, with CWM recovery (which version?), and after you attempted to wipe /system, it failed to wipe (what was the error message there?), and now it boots and has all kinds of weird glitches? First thing to try would be to go back to CWM and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and then Fix Permissions. This MIGHT help. If it doesn't then you will just probably want to throw a stock rom back on there to get back to running right again.

I've wiped the Caches and Dalvik Cache and can't seem to find "Fix Permissions". I did some searching and it seems this feature was removed from CWM? I'm running v6.0.3.7 of CMW.
When I try to format the system, it says
E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Error formatting /system!
Weird, they did take it out. Koush said it was a placebo. Which normally I would take as law, if it weren't for many times I have ran fix permissions and it caused apps that were force closing to not force close anymore. But whatever, if you wanna try, flash this: http://db.tt/9aWdF8Rp. It'll either help fix something, or do nothing. Won't make it any worse. If it can't mount to format though, it's either or a bug with CWM for your device, or after factory reset, reboot recovery and try again. But you really don't want to wipe /system unless you have a nandroid or another rom on your storage that is accessible.
Thanks so much for your help so far. Took me ages to figure out how to get that file on my phone, but I managed to do it. I then installed zip from recovery mode and chose the fix_permissions. Then reboot and it asked me to root the phone again. It's now upgrading and hopefully it will work now.
It is still saying "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped" and other things. What do you reckon I can do now? You're right, it seems like I can't make it any worse.

Ok. So looks like first thing to check is to see WHICH version of the P2 you have because it seems like there are at least 2 different sub versions of it. The P2-6070 and the P2-6011. Please go to Settings / About Phone/Device and let me know all the software info there.
Also, have you unlocked the bootloader (I'm guessing so since you have recovery, but just checking)?
I found some more info on how to get you back up and running, but want to confirm the system version so everything goes as smoothly as possible. There's a new update that just came out not too long ago that people are saying LTE works on, so hopefully we can get you to that point.

Mine is the P2-6011.
Swear if we get this working, never changing anything ever.
Yes, the bootloader is unlocked.
Alright, so here is a link for the newest firmware for your phone :
http://huaweidevices.ru/ROM4221/P2/...R001C00B038CUSTC19D001_United_Kingdom_H3G.rar
Need to be on stock recovery. Unpack the rar file and put the whole folder /dload on the root of the SD card. This has the update.app that should take care of everything for you. Turn off the phone and turn it on by holding Vol + and - and Power together. This is supposed to boot it into the mode to take care of the update for you.
If you don't wanna go back to complete stock, I have another way that involves switching to TWRP recovery and restoring a rom via nandroid restore. If you'd prefer that, lemme know and I'll shoot you the links.

If I ever meet you I definitely owe you a drink. Did exactly as you said and everything (from what I can tell) is working.
It's one of the things I love about Android phones - unless you do some serious damage to it physically, for the most part it is fixable.
So, thanks button isn't enough - you saved me giving up and buying a new phone
*Hi Five* Glad all is well!
But yea, I do this for a living. Seriously. Helping people on here is how I stay sharp. lol
getting a gateway 504 error from link to firmware, would love to get this update working as i keep getting a notification on phone saying update available but it wont work

Can you post the link of the CM 10.2 rom For huawei P2.
I search for a long long time. but still dosnt found a rom.
Thx
Sorry for digging this up but does someone have the stock ROM of the P2? Im stuck like the fella who started this thread and havent found the stock ROM anywhere.
Thanks for the attention.
Good afternoon, !!!
First and foremost , I want to thank you all in advance for ANY and help, time & consideration with my current issue. I will try my best to be clear, and give all relevant info here in my first post. Please bear with me, I am pretty good when it comes to following directions, but i havent been able to find a CLEAR solution to this yet, and worried about further screwing up my phone.
** I use a mac. I currently dont have access to a PC, so i am looking for a mac remedy if possible.
I have an HTCONE m7. Tmobile.
- Bootloader - Unlocked
- S- ON
- Rooted
I kept getting a OTA software update notice for 5.14xxx, i understand the install kept failing due to the bootloader being unlocked and/or root. So after being annoyed for not able to get it, i began googling ways to get the update but to no avail. So i decided to do CM11, & recovery which i installed with no problem via, Cyanogenmod Installer.
After doing so, i realized i lost my Tmobile Wifi Calling (Yes, my own fault for not further checking that scenario before doing cm11), The wifi calling is needed 10000%, due to bad service in my apartment. Prior to finding out that cm11 doesnt contain the tmobile wifi calling , I attempted another system update thru the phone, (I assume it was updating cm11).
This is where the problem began, phone rebooted to Cyanogenmod simple recovery ,
1st few times that i tried = "apply update" > choose from internal storage , i searched different folders for the "update" file, but to no avail. The phone wouldnt start up, or install anything , and will just stay on the simple recovery. I even attempted an adb sideload. But couldnt figure that out correctly either.
After a few failed attempts, I tried wiping the phone, cache, factory reset etc. now the phone still stays on simple recovery, and all folders are gone, except for an o/ folder, that contains a clockworkmod folder, which contains nothing.
So now basically,Do i have to eventually get back to STOCK on this phone, to regain tmobile wifi calling ? IF So i need the easiest, mac friendly route to go .
Again, i thank you ALLLLL in advance, & my apologies if this is in the wrong section. Please note ive done my fair share of googling , and reading up on this. But consistently run into a problem.

What's the radio version that is installed? Should be viewable on the bootloader screen at the top. That will help determine which RUU you need to get back to running again.
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...50.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed.exe
If it matches the numbers/letters after the Radio_ part there, then that is the file you need. Let me know, and I can download it for you and extract the rom.zip from the exe and upload that. Then you can use fastboot commands to install it on the phone. If your radio version does not match that, please post and we'll see if there are other options.
I don't believe that flashing another rom would work right now since all the storage and such got wiped, but it might be possible to use adb while in recovery to push a rom to the internal storage and install it and then use fastboot to install the boot.img from the rom in bootloader mode since you are S-On.

Hey there , i ended up making a 2nd thread, in the HTCONE section.. I am currently trying a fix that someone just posted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...date-issue-t2898480/post55889272#post55889272 I will try your fix next, if this does not work =0) Thanks again !! DEFINETLY APPRECIATE IT !!
IF mod can close this thread to avoid confusion, it would be appreciated.
Hi, guys
my phone is Huawei p10 Lite (WAS-LX2)
Note: if you have a bricked huawei p10 lite of any kind (incl WAS-LX2) (or a NZ model)
and you want to know how i finally fixed mine, jump down to the end where it says
GOOD NEWS
quick synopsis: unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp, now i get an error (255) when trying to create backup using twrp..
you can read the rest if you want but the above basically covers it please help
so i have unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp, before i did this i did a factory reset through androids settings, the phone is also only two months old.. but i cannot create a backup using twrp, it always fails in the same place when backing up data, does this mean my stock rom that has never been altered in anyway ect is somehow corrupt? wtf? i havnt even rooted it yet, i was going to make a backup first (of a known good rom.. lol)
i am assuming the data files are part of the rom? not something you can ignore.. they were one of the few things selected by default.. i have tried rebooting phone a few times, formatting sd card etc (64gb) so there is plenty of space...
any help would be much appreciated
the tutorial i was following is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418
my phones full build (or do i mean firmware number?..) number: WAS-LX2C706B170
android version 7.0
emui 5.1
any more info, just ask..
also, ive heard that once you have installed twrp/ unlocked bootloader you cannot use system update or androids factory reset without bricking your phone? is that true? otherwise i want to try that, i just want to root my damn phone already... or... its been a long time since i last rooted a phone... you dont need root to make a twrp rom backup do you? nah, surely not..?
or could my twrp install be corrupt? the tutorial said to drag and drop the downloaded file into cmd, but that wasnt working so i entered the location manually, it still appeared to install fine that way though so surely thats not it. i dont know
ok, i just bricked my phone... i did a factory reset in twrp, thinking it was... a factory reset... i googled whether it was safe first and everything came up clean... but it is not it wiped the os or something and now i just get a boot loop... what the hell? how could i be so stupid?! and how could twrp not warn me.. it was just a factory reset? and i havnt even rooted it yet, at this point i would probably prefer it was rooted in the hope their would be more options available to me to un brick it.. ok now i really need someones help.. why am i drinking and trying to watch tv while doing this, i am so stupid, this is the best and most expensive phone ive ever owned, what have i done?! sorry sorry ill calm down...
so if my firmware number is: WAS-LX2C706B170 then can i use one of these (also for huawei p10 lite) and if so what would be the difference? why are the numbers slightly different? same phone model, different firmware/ slightly...
here they are:
WAS-LX2C706B120
WAS-LX2C185B121
and they each had a OTA and a full firmware version too.
here is the link: https://romfirmware.com/2017/08/04/huawei-p10-lite-was-lx2/
but before i try these things, is there any saving my current stock rom? i dont understand how a factory reset could prevent it from booting properly..? its not actually bootlooping, it either gets stuck on logo, or goes to black screen but you can still see the volume slider when pressing volume buttons, see the home and back buttons (which do nothing) and hear the lock sound when you press the power button... still always a black screen though.. i guess its possible i knocked the format data button in twrp but im 95% sure i didnt. if i remove twrp and install stock recovery would i be able to get the stock rom working that way? or is there any way to do an OTA update/ fix as i havnt rooted it yet so it should be capable (except i cant boot to rom..) if i hold down all buttons it seems to try to do something... it says emui then goes to 4% then says software install failed: the update package does not exsist. please download the package again... reboot system now..? whats that all about?
ok, so i have found a possible solution but would like confirmation from someone who knows these things first...
i found this tool: Huawei Firmware Finder (Team MT)
link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
and using this i have found my exact firmware, apparently straight from the official huawei update servers. the firmware number matches exactly, but there is no mention of it being for a huawei p10 lite so not 100% sure its a good idea, but if the whole firmware number matches perfectly and its the only one of its kind it must be the right one surely? and the size is the same as other huawei p10 lite firmwares..
here is the direct link:http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1514/g104/v89953/f2/full/update.zip
please someone else chime in to give me some advice...
is there any risk with flashing roms, or can i always still access twrp recovery to flash a new rom if i brick the phone?
cheers all
ok UPDATE:
i tried the repair file system option in twrp on the data partition just for fun (wrong word, im not having fun..) because i thought this rom was a lost cause..
upon reboot a huawei warning pops up saying the data partition has some serious damage and offers to try a low level format, it finishes successfully then restarts.
no change, still broken, but it offers to do a full format of data due to serious damage.
after restart phone boots fine, and enters setup wizard for first boot etc... perfect.
problem is, i still cant backup the data partition in twrp, still get same error:
createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255
bacjup failed..??
did i somehow get a brand new phone with a bad flash of a stock rom straight from the manuafacturer? with a slightly corrupted data partition... is there anyway to fix this? or can i assume the rom i downloaded from huaweis servers for my exact firmware is correct and i can use that as a backup in case i need it?
or in case my data is corrupt should i try to install that rom now?
or should i try to reflash twrp first and see if i can get a successful backup?
or should i just forget all this crap now my phone works and go straight to rooting it?
i really need some professional advice here.. lol
clearly i aint no expert
ok, so i noticed the frp was still locked for some reason so using adb, i relocked and unlocked bootloader, now frp is unlocked too, reflashed twrp, wiped dalvik cach/ cache, tried backup again...
no change, still fails on data partition, same error 255...?!
im lost,
close to trying to flash that rom i found...
or at least just rooting already..
OK UPDATE: first the bad news, then the good news:
so i gave up on backing up my data partition, as it was clearly somehow corrupt?...
so i went ahead and rooted my phone, everything was more or less working untill i used apps2sd...
that required several reboots and partitioning my sd card etc, then it said something about needing systemless root and a reboot, i went ahead with that and then my phone started bootlooping again, this time there was no fixing it, i of course tried removing sd card too.. nothing..
so i tried restoring to the rom i found using huawei firmware finder tool, that didnt work, using twrp to install zip, i got error -9? (couldnt find that one on the net..)
tried unzipping and putting update.app in dload folder on root of sd card, then booting to erecovery pressing vol- vol+ and power button, that also failed. now i was stressed near tears, this was the third day of research and trying to fix this... so i searche dhigh and wide, and gave up on stock roms, i figured that a custom rom designed for my chipset (hi6250)
and said to work on a huawei p10 lite then it should at least semi work on my phone, i did more research and the rom creator said to only use his version of TWRP to flash their ROM, so i reflashed to theirs... BIG mistake, if the custom recovery is the only thing you can boot into and the only way to access boot loader, do NOT risk losing it.. i did.. i lost my recovery..
so there for i lost my bootloader, so therefore i lost my ability to use ADB, or connect to pc in any way. i wanted to step in front of a bus at this point... but then there was:
GOOD news:
so i resorted to trying the official recovery roms on XDA for p10 lites, only i had been avoiding them as none of the build/ firmware numbers matched mine at all.. but i went ahead and clicked on the first download, (here is the link to post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/help/original-service-rom-huawei-p10-lite-t3688097) - you might find a few comments from me near the end there, lol..
anyway , once downloaded i unzipped and just pasted the dload folder straight to sd card and rebooted phone with all three buttons depressed. to my amazement when the huaei erecovery came up it started installing!!!? wow, i tried not to get my hopes up though..
first boot restarted after blue huawei splash logo, second boot went back to erecovery, offered factory reset and wipe cache(so i did), now it boots up perfectly every time like new, everything works! even gave me NZ language options etc, even though my build number didnt match any of those above, its still worked and even better it still shows all the correct information under about phone.
my build number was: WAS-LX2C706B170
so i can confirm it works for nz huawei p10 lites with 4gb ram and dual sim and WAS-LX2 builds
hope this helps someone else out there like me

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for posting this!
I'm from New Zealand, and have the exact same phone and the exact same issue.
Your "good news" section was exactly what I was looking for, and helped me fix my phone.
Cheers, George
update copy
Hi was wondering if you have a copy of the update you used as it is near impossible to get from the link on the other thread. Another Kiwi with a bricked phone.
All good, after 4 hours it finally downloaded. I will keep a copy in case anyone needs it. WAS-LX2
