Ok, I have 2 Rezounds. Rooted mine, went s-off and loaded Liquidsmooth and Gaaps. Everything works fine after 1 week.
Went and did second phone (wife's) and everything seemed to go well, but I had 1 thing occur in this phone that did not happen in my phone. When in HBoot, it would constantly update and then force a restart. I couldn't get into Recovery, and my phone would not be recognized as an ADB device. Googled around and think it was something related to the PH98IMG file, so I deleted that off of my SD Card and bingo it worked.
So I flashed AICP KitKat and its Gaaps. I thought all was well until my wife tried to call someone and the screen blacked out (call was being made) and then the camera launched. We could not unfreeze the screen, even holding Pwr button - had to pull the battery.
I assumed it was the ROM, so I loaded CarbonROM - same thing.
I reset to factory, wiped everything and retried, same thing.
I restored my factory backup latest OTA (ICS), and it worked fine. I reinstalled my Amon recovery file. Rest phone again, and reloaded. Same problem - my phone screen locks up on outgoing calls.
Help..........
One thing, I assume you can flash the ROM and Gaaps back to back with no reboot. I did this, but also wiped all data and reinstalled them separately with a reboot between. Same results.

Not sure why, but no matter how I reset or wipe, my contacts always reload. I am not selecting Google backup when going through setup screen. I have reset and wiped all cache, dalvik cache, and all other.

Google will always restore your contacts, even if you uncheck the backup/restore options, they are part of your Google account.
As far as your other issues, it kind of sounds like a proximity sensor issue, try installing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol.ProxSensorCalibrator&hl=en and see if you can calibrate it... although this doesn't explain the camera issue, it does explain why the screen goes blank during a call and will not come back on.
I wonder also if my HBoot was corrupted. I don't know why, but when I booted into Bootloader, it would go through the motions of updating and then prompting me to restart (no other option). I read that this was because my Bootloader was finding a PH98IMG file on the SD card - is this an update exe? So I deleted it and Bootloader worked.
Also, both phones hung up (dots) on Rumrunner "Pouring 2" phase, and I had to break the connection during this step. Rebooting showed s-off, but I reran the exe file and it went through and completed "successfully."
Is there any need to update my recovery file, currently Amon RA which i did from Scotty's Newbie Guides? I downloaded 7.2.2.2 TWRP and tried to flash it in recovery, but it says fail. I can not find instructions on doing this for newbies - only the one that references s-on users, but it just glosses over.
I'll do the Play store download and see if that works.
Thanks for your help. I am totally a novice, although I have learned alot after going through this. I read alot on the Android Forums and XDA before I post.
AmonRa could be your whole problem actually... Get TWRP 2.7.1.1 and either flash it via Fastboot, use the PH98IMG way, or try Flashify as a last resort.
The chances that your Hboot is corrupted is slim, but you can download the firmware zip from 4.5.605.14 and reflash with no issues, it will not change S-Off or unlock state.
Updated TWRP and tried the resound calibrator, still same bad result. Phone will work on the OTA recovery file (ICS), but will not work on any kitkat ROM installs. When making calls, I can not power off or anything, total loss of phone while call is active (unless I pull battery). Once call is hung up, then I get control back of the screen.
I can't seem to find anything, should I go s-on then relock and unlock it again maybe? If you think that's a good idea worth trying, let me know and I'll search for instructions on how to do that.
More I think about it, its proximity sensor issues. I replaced the glass just before rooting. I downloaded the calibration app, but can't find instructions. I will play around with that a bit and see what happens. I'll post back if I can't get that to work, I may have replaced the adhesive too close to (or touching) the sensor in the ear piece.

So somehow today my port burnt up, phone wont work with ANY USB. I'm on an AOSP Rom, been running fine for 6 months, so who knows. But anyway.
What options do I have here? It's under warranty, but having rooted it obviously if I try to send it back like this, it wont go well. Any options for me at this point? I can get a charged battery, sister has the same phone so if there is a way to at least get this remotely close to where it needs to be, I can spend the time doing it.
Any insight would be great.

Do you have a stockish nandroid? If not what if you bump your sisters phone, make a nandroid of stock, move the nandroid to your phone by ext sd card or other file transfer methods. Restore the nandroid on your phone, unroot in supersu, flash stock recovery with flashify app.
Or a good cell phone repair shop should be able to replace it for around 60 bucks. Unfortunately it's soldered to the board unlike samsung phones or you could just do it yourself. Phone comes apart super easy.
You are going to have to try to get a stock image to flash in recovery. Otherwise just wipe your system and data partitions so that there is no longer root. Granted, then you will still have custom recovery. You could probably dd if=/dev/zero over the recovery partition to wipe your recovery, too.
I've found that Verizon doesn't check too carefully, so at a bare minimum I would download and flash the stock ROM found here on XDA, then unroot using SuperSU. You'll still have a custom recovery, but typically I find Verizon only powers it up to make sure it works and that there isn't anything physically wrong with it before replacing it.
I recently tried to re-install root on my device. I used the link below to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Everything worked fine, my phone rebooted normally, said it was rooted and I went on my day. Later that day I rebooted my phone and now it wont start up. It just pauses at the verizon logo and never gets past that. I can get into the default LG recovery, but I don't know how much I can really do there.
I really need to recover some of my files, contacts, etc. If I could just fix the issue without losing data that would be better, but at the very least I need to save some files from my phone. Any ideas?
EDIT: I have done some research and found I can fix my issue if I'm able to get my phone to be recognized by my computer. For some reason the MTP USB Device driver fails the install...
Have you gotten into recovery and tried to wipe the cache?
If you can get into the stock recovery you should be able to choose wipe cache and it will take you to twrp if you have it flashed onto your phone. From there you can restore or wipe the cache and see if that helps.

Your hit there's no way to recover information from a soft/hard brick requires a factory flash
Hey guys, I was running stock ZVC (with stock recovery and bootloader) until just a few minutes ago, when I finally gave in and told the phone to apply the OTA update that was pushed out last week (the "ZVE" one). It started doing its thing, but next time I looked back at the device it was in recovery mode, just sitting there at the menu prompt...
I've since tried rebooting and powering off about half a dozen times, but it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I also tried wiping the cache and rebooting, with no luck... It still loops back to recovery mode. I don't know what went wrong, but I'm assuming it could be related to one of two things that I didn't think about until afterwards:
1) The phone was rooted via Kingoroot, and root was still active when I tried to apply the update.
2) Just a FEW programs were frozen via TitaniumBackup (as well as Android's own app management system, using the "disable" feature), but these weren't system- or kernel-critical apps. They were things like LG Health, Sprint Money, etc...
Can anyone suggest a fix? Right now it just keeps rebooting into stock recovery and I've never had to deal with an issue like this, so I'm not sure what to do. I was obviously running the stock ROM, so I'm not set up to flash stuff. Although if it can be done with the default recovery, I suppose I could obviously do that... Once again, everything was stock on the phone except for Kingoroot, which was still enabled during the update.
I'm in a pickle here, guys. It's not like I'm any different than everyone who "needs their phone for work," but yeah, I need my phone for work... If I have to wipe data/factory reset, there's probably no way to pull some data off of the phone via PC first, is there? I suppose it's not that big of a deal, but I have some data and some program data that I hadn't gotten around to backing up yet, because I didn't think I'd need to until before I attempted to flash a new ROM or custom recovery.
Any help would be HUGE. Thanks...
EDIT: I took it into the Sprint store today a couple hours after I posted this, and they said I'd have to send it in to LG for warranty service. I don't know if the Sprint tech person knew what she was doing or not (because she had to use Google to figure out how to put the phone into download mode, even though she owns the same model), but she said that she couldn't establish a connection between the PC and the phone...
Now I'm not sure if that's the case, or if she just didn't have the right drivers installed, or if she was even in the right mode (I think she was using some Sprint-made flashing tool, but she did get it into download mode). She also seemed bored and like she just didn't wanna deal with it, so I don't know...
Assuming I can flash back to an earlier build like ZVB (and assuming I can even find it online), is that done from download mode or from recovery? By the way, we also tried just doing a factory reset and that didn't work either; just keeps rebooting to recovery...
Thanks...
EDIT 2: Fixed by flashing to stock via these instructions. Had to select Board DL and use a different key sequence as described here.
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

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
