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 found some custom roms and some software on chinese site, but cant flash them and I think it's because bootloader isn't unlocked. I tried unlocking it but no luck (using android sdk).

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.

problem with unlocking and flashing

Hi my friends.
this is my story :
my phone is Redmi note 3 pro (qualqomm)
I got permissions for unlocking a week ago.
then i tried xiaomi website unlock method but it stopped at 50% and gave me couldn't verify device (different account) error.
my rom is global (MIUI 8) . then i tried to flash dev rom with updater app but it gave me couldn't verify update package error. i cleared updater data and tried again but same error.
in next step i tried mi pc suite to flash but no success.
then i used fastboot mode and mi flash and i got locked bootloader error.
then i used EDL mode to flash but in mi flash i got hello package error. (object reference not set to an instance of an object)
i completely confused . i tried all methods and read many fix like login in i.mi.com and other method that people fixed their problem but all of them not fix mine.
i read some threads about flashing twrp and root without unlocking bootloader but all of them need flashing dev rom and i can't flash.
can anyone help me?

I just recently went through most of what you have gone through... Be patient though... It seems that the unlocking of bootloader even after you getting permission, takes atleast 2-3 weeks more.
- You can flash the miui global dev rom, you may download it from the miui forums... Here is the link for the fastboot rom http://en.miui.com/a-234.html.
- To flash the dev rom, you need to ensure you put your phone into fastboot, ensure all the fastboot drivers are installed on your computer
- Also, you need to ensure that you download the GLOBAL/DEV FASTBOOT ROM(this is different than the regular zip package) that you download.
- Then you can follow the instructions to install the ROM using miflash tool
- If the ROM installation is a success, then you just need to wait patiently atleast for 15-20 days from the time you got unlock permission sms from MI
- Then try running the flash unlock tool, it should get unlocked.
- Now flashing TWRP might be tricky, I was able to flash the official TWRP, but had issues where the internal memory wasn't getting mounted, because you keep getting asked for decryption password in TWRP to mount the data, no matter what you enter, it might not work
- After trying many TWRP types, the one that worked was "zcx twrp"
- Once you flash that, you should be able to flash any custom or miui roms you need :good:

tnx for reply but my problem is i cant flash.
my bootloader is locked and i cant flash fastboot rom.
therefor i must use edl mode or updater app but both of them don't work as a said in first post.
You don't need an unlocked BL to flash official fast boot miui ROMs

Skip the EDL thing and go directly to the part where they explain how to use the miflash tool to flash a fastboot ROM
I should have asked this first... what's the state of your phone right now? Does it boot, stuck on boot loop, or are you able to boot into some ROM.
maybe u have a vendors rom, flash the fastboot rom using edl
finally a downloaded adb 1.4.3 and installed it and i flashed dev rom in EDL mode.
but now i have some questions:
can i change kernel with locked bootloader?
if i change kernel does fingerprint work?
You just dont have proper drivers installed im 100% sure, else it would go via edl
Hehe was right������
And why dont you ask for official unlock approval? Its approved in less than a day, anyone saying otherwise have old news
Or you can always use a method in this forum...

[Solved] G play mini bootloop

Hi guys, i have a big problem. I tried to update my girlfriend's phone (huawei g play mini chc-u01). I read some guides and i downloaded all firmwares from huawei site, unlock bootloader and tried to install updates. But at some point, phone won't boot up ! I made a mistake ! Now the situation is that when i turn on the phone, it shows the honor logo. I tried to flash via fastboot the system, recovery and boot image that i extracted from UPDATE.APP of the firmware taken from huawei site. Also tried to flash twrp recovery and find out a way to unbrick phone, but nothing. I can't find anything that works. An other thing is that in fastboot mode, when i type some erase command, output is remote command not allowed, but flash command seems to work.
How can i restore phone ? Is not there a way to restore it, I can make a aspo or cm based rom from system.img and other stock stuff ? Just split image to see files inside.
The last thing and maybe the core of mistake. I flash via twrp an oem file and then honor logo is appeared.
Thanks at all guys !
Edit: I finally restored phone. it works again flashing its lollipop version firmware.

how did you restore your phone ?
I have a g play mini chc-u01 and I upgraded it directly from android 4.4.2 (c185b067 ) to 6.0 (c185b560 ) but this build has many issues. now I want to downgrade to lollipop but I can't get into the recovery mode. whenever I try to enter the recovery mode, the bootloop happens. I tried to flash the system recovery extracted from UPDATE.APP but it didn't work neither did twrp. so can you show me the steps you made to restore your phone ??
Same Problem here. can you share how you fixed it?

stuck on Mi logo

History:
1) I bought the phone in China and got it unlocked eventually
2) I got TWRP to work and then proceeded to install SuperSU via TWRP
3) This put me into "stuck" state (on Mi logo)
I obtained the following file: cancro_global_images_V8.1.4.0.MXDMIDI_20161201.0000.00_6.0_global_fcd6394ed1.tgz
and then tried to install it through the Mi flash tool which led to an error - "can not found file flash_all_except_storage.bat"
Note: If I can get my phone working I will probably just keep it stock this has been extremely frustrating and difficult. I have used the resources at XDA for years (thanks all you guys are great!) with my Samsung phones and have never had any issues at all but this has been completely different trying to mod my Xiaomi.
If any one can tell me how to fix my phone that would be great!
Note:
My phone has no OS on it atm (would like global rom if possible)
I would prefer not to lose the media files I have in storage
Have access to ADB command prompt and TWRP but cannot enter an OS (I tried to factory reset)

Dude, that rom you downloaded is for Mi4 if i'm not wrong, and not for RDN 4.
Here is the link for the global stable ROM, which you need to flash in Fastboot mode. Select the "Redmi Note 4 MTK Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download". You can use the same tutorial which they wrote you in previouse post. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Thanks all, finally found the right one it was the Nikel one that worked
hi
are u unlock bootloader or not ?

Am I bricked?

Hey Guys,
i spent the last 8 hours to get my z back to life but without luck.
i was on aokp (official) as i decided to go back to stock rom, after i have seen that my device wouldnt boot a normally after the first flash, i flashed lineage os and from there it always tells me that it needs a password to start android. but i never had a passwort so i tried the one from my google account but it doesnt worked.
and now im stuck on the warning screen from the unlocked bootloader i can still go in recovery / bootloader mode but it doesnt matter what i flash it wont work.
SO PLEEASE HELP ME... i can give a small donate via paypal if you can help me the right way!
Hi.
You still have access to TWRP? if yes go to Advanced > File Manager then navigate to this path: /data/system
Look for this files:
password.key
pattern.key
locksettings.db
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal
Delete them all. if one or two of them is not exist that's Ok, skip them.
Now reboot the phone and see the password request form appears or not.
P.S. Don't panic you not bricked your phone.
Hello and thank you for your answer. But i do not have this files.

Then i suggest try a full wipe.
Dalvik
Catch
Data
System (By wiping this partition hole android OS will remove)
after that try to flash an custom ROM (Lingoes, RR, orginal images)
I hope this will solve the problem.
Soo, after a full night of flashing ( im seriously feeling like a pro hacker with all those command windows open ) i have managed to get back to stock reteu wit november security patch and relocked bootloader.
The only thing which bothers me at the moment is when i start the phone normally it takes me directly in the fastboot menu, but the screen for bootloader unlock is gone and it still says status: modified.
How is it possible that the phone boots normally? And can i do OTA Updates now with relocked Bootloader?
Thanks in advance!

How did you do that. I'm trying and trying to get back to stock EU firmware. No chance, I always get verification problem, need signed boot bla bla.
Btw. For normal boot try this
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Great for you. Where did you get update to 7.1.1?
I get always error not signed boot.
If you could provide some step by step manual how to flash stock rom and relock bootloader it would be great.
I was also on reteu german firmware.
