Huwaei Honor 7 PLK-L01 bootloop - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'll start by saying that i know i messed up realy bad and it is my fault, but i'm trying to revert this to no avail..i wouldn't make this post if haven't tried every possible solution i found.
So let's start,
I have a honor 7 PLK-L01 as the tittle says, i recently unlocked and rooted my phone, but i didn't make any backup (i know :/) because TWRP was in chinese..
After that i got into a bootloop, and i tried installing stock roms i got from here and other places, i tried every possible solution for 2 days now..
The only ROM i could get working was "PLK-UL-TL-CL_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_5.12.16" (can change language to english tho but some menus are still in chinese.),
wich is chinese and says my ip isnt supported when i try to log in to honor and comes with tons of chinese bloatware.
It only worked flashing with adb, flashing through dload (error when i tried to update) and TWRP (always get the error "No md5 file found") didnt work..
I've tried these full version ROMs and always end up in a boot loop:
PLK-L01C432B100
PLK-L01C432B121
PLK-L01C432B130
I used this guide to install de ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hono...e-fix-t3255452
I've tried using adb manual and using multitool, getting the same resuslts..(always using latest versions)
I dont understand how that a chinese rom could work tho, as it says on the info that it's the version PLK-C00B618 and my phone is PLK-L01(at least i think it is...the box where it came says it is the L01...), must be a custom ROM of some sorts?
So i was wondering if i could get some help on what i am doing wrong.
I just want to get back to stock with auto updates like i was before, and only mess with this when there's stable custom ROMs available..and always doing backup ofcourse (silly me..)!
Hope i you guys can help me with my problem, thanks a lot!

Hi,
Maybe i can help you in a few things. So first thing, you should try to download the official rom from here: www hihonor.com/global/support/search-result/?keywords=honor%207 and try to install from an SD card. Your TWRP is chinese but the location of the buttons is the same than the english version, so you can figure, what option is need for you. (google can help you, check the pics from the TWRP menu). And if you already installed this ROM, you can change the TWRP for an english version. (i found the good link in this article: www cyberkey.in/root-honor-7-install-twrp-recovery-100-working/
P.s.: I am sorry about the broken links, but i am a new user, so i can not use outside links yet.

I got TWRP in english after that using the multitool.
I've already tried that official rom you mentioned. When i try to install from TWRP, i get an error on instalation: "Skipping MD5 file check: no MD5 file found", from what i understand twrp can only be used to flash custom ROMs right?
If i use the only ROM that worked (PLK-UL-TL-CL_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_5.12.16), to try to manual update, gives an error that i have the wrong version for that update (makes sense since the version that shows on phone info is PLK-C00B618), so this must be a custom rom or a beta release?
The only way i can install a ROM is through odb, wich ends up in a bootloop whenever i try any stock ROM, even tried the 6.0 beta that froze my screen at honor logo instead of looping..
I install with odb using
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
Or multitool unbrick tool (flashboots BOOT, SYSTEM, RECOVERY and CUST).
Maybe it has something to do with root? version maybe? i've tried without SU, with TWRP version, with lastest stable version 2.65..and just can't get it working :/

The thing that is confusing me the most, is why that 5.1.1 version works and all others don't, im doing the exact same thing for all of them..
Just want to get back to stock..

Try installing full b121 through fastboot commands. Phone should bootloop, but that's fine for now. Then flash b170 boot and recovery, and your phone should start normally.
You can find the files here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3290348
Update from sdcard with buttons combination or local update won't work until You have TWRP. You need stock recovery for that.
Oh and You have to flash roms for Your device. If You have the PLK-L01 then roms for any other variants might not work and get You in situations like the one You're struggling right now.

Did exactly like you said and it worked like a charm, after instaling boot and recovery from b170 it booted and then i updated with full b121 from sd card.
Everything is working perfectly now. Can't thank you enough!
I'd never find that out by myself...i was just trying to flash full roms :/
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Carnach.

It happened to me also and I ran into this solution somewhere around xda. Glad I could help.

Issues with Rom Flashing... "Install update.zip signature verification failed"

Issues with Rom Flashing... "Install update.zip signature verification failed"
Hello
I am new in the World of Xiaomi and MIUI
I bought a Redmi Note 2 and it had the Oppomart MIUI-Version ist 66.77.33.00 (LHMCNCH)I Stable on it. I am a german user.
I found out that the Rom was not official and it contained useless apps and I couldnt use root either. So I wanted to flash different Roms. After some tries and researches I could flash an inofficial german Rom. But with that I couldnt use Xposed Installer so I wanted an original Rom. I flashed miui_HMNote2_5.10.15_8097474ec2_5.0. But that seems to be completely for chinese users. You can choose english language but there is no google account and no google apps. No play store, nothing. just chinese browsers, chinese apps and the MI Store completely in, guess what, chinese.
And now I cannot flash any Rom. I tried to go back to other Roms, like the german miuidecuro_REDMINOTE2_5.9.24_5.0 that i used before but nothing worked. I keep getting an error telling me "Install update.zip signature verification failed" I wiped all data, made a factory reset but nothing worked. I would even be happy to have the oppomart version back. It was annoying but had at least the playstore
Please help me

Thanks. I never used TWRP. Do I have to download and install it on the phone as an apk file or on the Computer? Sorry I am new and when I google these things I only get more confused. What is the difference between the flashtools MiPhone2015731 and TWRP?
Is it possible to use Stock Android on the note 2 instead of MIUI?

Xioami has started to use licence or something for their roms. So multilanguage rom cant acceptable anymore on orginal system. Twrp is recovery mod for Android devices. Its very simple to install and use. And no you cant. Because nobody doesnt make any stable aosp or something rom. We are waiting.
mee to.
put rom file into internal sotrage, then update ok.
Visit TWRP by going to install and then there must be a hack because you have to do away
Ok. Is there a TWRP App for all phones or does it have to be for Redmi Note 2?
I download the apk, put it on the SD Card and install it from there, is that right? Can I flash the hermes rom from there for Europe?
I never did that so I really have no clue how to do that. The phone is nearly useless right now. I gotta fix this somehow. Thanks for everyone who helps

Hi.
Cant you install a rooted stock rom with stock recovery? Then you need the right TWRP for our phone.
Heres one place where you can find it. http://www.mediafire.com/download/6sf0fsm8vx2o948/twrp287.zip
First try flash it with Mi recovery.
If not you need to download an app from playstore "flashify" with it you flash TWRP. You need a img file so you may have to unzip the recovery.zip
I have flashed Xiaomi.EU 5.10.8 Weekly which is rock stable. You should flash Chainfires last Supersu and install Google Now Launcher if you like something more "stock" and have a appdrawer..
Thanks
Knievel
...
Ok thanks I will try that. A few hours ago I managed to flash the xiaomi.eu european version of the 5.10.15. Can I stll flash Roms with that?
Another problem is that I cannot use Xposed Installer and google now launcher. Is that normal?

ok good.
Then i would go to play store an download Flashify . Unzip the TWRP zip, and flash the recovery.img with flashify.
You can also backup kernel and recovery with this app. Its very easy and straight forward.
When you got flashed TWRP , use a file explorer with root privileges and delete the file "recovery-from-boot.bak" placed in System folder. If not you may loose TWRP after reboot.
TWRP is vital so you can make an nandroid backup of everything if/when something goes wrong. And of course flash everything else.
About Google Now Launcher, flash last Supersu zip from Chainfire in TWRP. Then you get permission to change default launcher.
I dont use Xposed for now so you have to Google it.
Only thing i miss is "Reboot to recovery" option, but a lot of apps can do this.
Thanks
Knievel
,,,
Ok thanks, I downloaded it. What exactly is the difference between Boot Image and Recovery Image?
Is there an AOSP Rom you can recommend? I really want to get rid of MIUI.

Hi.
Boot image here is kernel.
Im no big fan of Miui myself , but with the right launcher its quite ok.
I have tried a couple of the aosp roms here on Xda . Find them a little buggy, and battery life isnt very good either compared to Miui.
If/when Xiaomi release all needed sources, i think we will get good and stable Aosp and CM roms to flash too.
Thanks
Knievel
...
Yes I don't like it either. But there are too many bugs in the Custom Roms. I just want a bug free Rom where I can use xposed
Hi,

Just unzip the twrp zip. You can do it with a Root Explorer. Then you get a img file.
This img file you can flash with an app called Flazhify ( Google play Store, its free ).
Have you tried this?
Thanks

Hi,
My phone came with 7.00.66 and it's not rooted. I tried to flash xiaomi eu roms via updater app, but it failed several times.
Also i tried to install twrp via updater app, but it also failed. Can you help me please. :crying:
I was thinking to do this:
1) flash official developer rom via updater app, and hopefully it won't show error, because it is official rom , and it is rooted (?)
2) flash twrp using this method
HOW TO FLASH TWRP RECOVERY VIA FLASHIFY
Warning: Redmi note 2 only (other phone need specific image)
Me and this forum are not responsable for any damage. Do at your own risk
1. download flashify app from playstore and give root acces
2. download img of twrp for redmi 2 note and put in your sd card (I prefer sdext root folder)
3. Open flashify, select "recovery image", find the img file you've downloaded
4. confirm flash, wait until it's done
5. you're now ready to reboot in twrp pressing "reboot now" from flashify.
you can also turn off your phone, press power and volume up and you'll be in twrp.
3) install xiaomi eu rom with twrp
Is this correct way?

Coolpad E501 EU unbrick, reviving

Hi
I have Coolpad E501 EU (other names: Modena, Y76, Sky). It's dual sim, stock android 5.1, rooted, stock recovery.
After last mini update (9,2 MB) coolpad logo is showing and then it goes only to recovery. Phone was rooted using KingRoot app, and then applied update so I bet it was a mistake to do so.
I have second one same Coolpad phone - working, rooted, stock android, stock recovery. So it might help in restoring bricked one.
I searched almost everywhere on the internet looking for stock roms, recovery or something that I can flash.
I tried using YGDP tool with 4.4 official rom that I found but no luck. I get the message "Bootloader is old" in logs.
Tried to do backup with nandroid of working phone but it's making backup for custom recovery (cwm - .tar or twrp - .wim). My phone doesn't have one.
Recovery has an option to apply update from zip. Last update that messed up is here:
ota.coolyun.com/ota/Android/Coolpad%20E501_EU/P0/5.1.222.51.P0.151216.Y76_U00_5.1.222.61.P0.160510.Y76_U00/update_1464055522221.zip
I dont care about data., only working system.
Anyway I appreciate some help how to bite that, any ideas how to revive that phone. I was trying to do a system.img backup of /system partition in working phone, but no luck, partition is in ext4. I thought I can restore that using adb.
I will answer any questions if something I wrote is not clear. I'm not afraid of adb, flashed many phones, so I'm not looking for step by step tutorial, only to someone point me in right direction to solve this problem
Thanks for any help.

I have twrp for this phone, but I cant flash it. Every time I try to send a command in fastboot mode I get the message: "FAILED (remote: unknown command)". How did you flash it? Did your bootloader was unlocked in developer settings? Mine wasn't so I think I'm screwed.
Backup I have is with my personal data.

Hello ppl!
Is yours problems solved? I have soft bricked Coolpad Modena E501_EU and can't find solution.
Searching everywhere on internet, not find nothing about that phone: kernels, drivers, firmwares etc., like "ghost phone". Firmware version 4.4 is for E501-Y76-Sky but not for EU model and cannot be flashed. I need stock 5.1.222.........Y76_U00 and if can someone make backup and upload somewhere he helped me a lot.

Bootloader is skipping

Ok guys, im at the end and need your help. I searched for this Problem since yesterday but couldnt find what describes my problems.
I think i did mistake after mistake, and yes im a noob, so feel free to dump on me what you got
Yesterday i wanted to update Sultan's CM ROM on my OPX, so i downloaded it and tried to install it over TWRP what gives me error messages. I made a factory wipe and installed OxygenOS 2.2.3 and then updated my TWRP to Sultan's new one (Version 3.0.2.3). After i flashed the .img, TWRP wasnt booting anymore, it was stuck on the 1+ Screen, but i was able to get to the System. So i get Root access over the SuperSU App and then flashed the TWRP zip over the Rashir App and TWRP worked again, then i flashed the new OxygenOS (3.1.3) what was successful. But now, TWRP wont work again. When i try to boot into recovery, it just show the 1+ Screen and Vibrates for maybe 1 second, but than it skips and boot automatically into System. The SuperSU App says its no SU File installed and can't be installed. Fastboot didnt't work either. When i connect it and type in ADB devices it shows me the ID. But with Fastboot devices nothing happens and im unable to do anything over it. (Drivers are correctly installed, without Signature check by windows etc.)
I know, i probably made some huge mistakes with all that. Do you guys have any solutions to get the Bootloader working again?
Thanks for any helps!

i tried flashing OPX recovery using adb and fastboot but to no avail.I then tried flashing modified twrp.That worked but no matter what i do i can neither install OPX recovery nor can i use the mega unbrick guide as my phone shows up as relink USB.....
Could somebody please guide me?

No don't think you need that just issue with how you updated your bootloader. Go through similar threads as yours and you will find your answer.
havent found an answer.Thats because very thread speaks of installing twrp modified etc.i already said i am able to do that.What i am unable is that even after flashing OOS3.1.4 without root i am not able to see oos recovery.also flashing oos recovery seperately doesnt fix it.it just then gives me the one +logo on vol down+power...until i flash twrp bluspark again.how to return my phn to factory condition?can somebody who has faced this help me?
This is now resolved.the mega unbrick guide is good but there's a catch.smtimes u don't get the qusb_bulk.i have seen one for one plus two to fix the RELINK_USB issue but that too never worked.what finally worked was one written for mui for Xiaomi in particular and for devices in general.

RN3P - Unlock bootloader 8.1.1, update to 8.1.1 HELP PLS

Alright folks - heres where I'm at.
I started off having the phone brand new as of christmas.. I managed to get the bootloader unlocked, and TWRP installed. for some reason (and i've searched for days now with no success) i kept getting this error in twrp when installing a rom "unable to mount /persist invalid argument" ... So after not having any luck with custom installed roms, bootloops i decided to put the phone back to factory. Factory from the MIUI website which was 8.1.1...
Well, since unlocking bootloader (unofficial way) and upgrading to 8.1.1 - the phone will not turn on. it just says Encryption Unsuccessful - reset phone. Which I do, and it goes back to the same screen, Over, and Over, and OVER.
I managed to get two rom on it (8.0.6 global) and (8.0.7 china) but both have broken / no google play services.
Now I have this beautiful device, with no chance of unlocking the boot loader (I think) and no chance of putting a custom rom AND no working play store. Although it isnt a paper weight just yet... I'm about to say thats what i'm going to do with it soon.
Any help on getting a custom rom, the latest MIUI, or just working play services is greatly appreciated .
