Hi, i ****ed up yesterday night.
I have a Honor 7 which was rooted with TWRP. I tried to unroot it and go back to stock recovery to be able to update from 5.1 to 6.0 MM.
So i flashed with the stock recovery, but when the phone turned back on, recovery was broke.
Now i can't neither go into recovery mode or fastboot mode, so i can't flash anything anymore.
When i do the buttons combination to enter in recovery, i'm in rescue mode saying "func no11 (recovery image)
The phone is still able to boot on stock B140, but enable usb debug doesn't change anything.
I don't know if anyone got a solution or has the problem before, i've been looking into it all night long without success, i hope it's not a permanent brick
Thanks for reading me, and sorry for my english
Turn off phone, connect phone to pc then immediately after that hold power and vol down. You should be able to boot into fastboot?
Sadly it's not working. Looks like recovery mode and fastboot mode have been erased or something, my phone can only boot on Android, nothing else, so i basically can't root it/update/install recovery :/
Try to factory reset it.
If that doesn't work, let it completely discharge until it doesn't turn on. Charge it and then try to enter bootloader.
Can you enter eRecovery?
Hi, thanks for your reply
I can't enter in erecovery/recovery, and when i try to enter in the bootloader, instead of having "fastboot and rescue mode", i only have "rescue mode" with error 11 (no recovery image) then error 2.
USB debug is enabled, but my computer doesn't detect my phone in any way
Edit: The exact errors i have are:
Error!
Func NO: 11 (recovery image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Flash the stock recovery.img belongs to your current rom with multi-tool. Probably it'll be fixed.
@smbtirael to enter into bootloader mode just press and hold Vol Down button and simultaneously connect the phone to PC, if your PC is not detecting your device try installind Google USB drivers via SDK. If you get in bootloader mode then you know how to flash a recovery.

First of all I would thank Crowds he is the best reference that I've to return in case of any problem I face. (He doesn't sleep - any time I ask he immediately supports)
I bought Lenovo K910 and I've managed successfully to install new ROM "VIBEUI_v2.0_1443" and Gapps with Crowds support.
I advised two of my friends to buy this good and cheap phone. For one of them I installed the latest rom successfully. But with the other I had a big problem The phone stuck on Lenovo Logo.
I was trying to install TWRP 2.7.0.0 batch before installing my new ROM, but during installation and after the phone rebooting the batch command screen shows <Waiting for Device> and the phone is stuck on logo screen.
I tried to connect the phone to PC many times, but PC doesn't recognize the phone. When I try to turn off the phone by pressing the power buttons, the phone restart on logo screen like the shown in this video.
I've read in many site that I have to do the following:
Download and install "minimal adb and fastboot"
Just type on the command line without pressing Enter:
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"][B][I]fastboot [COLOR="Plum"][STRIKE]boot[/STRIKE][/COLOR] recovery.img[/I][/B][/COLOR]
you should place your recovery image file in "minimal adb and fastboot" directory
The phone should be disconnected from computer and completely off (press the Power button for 10 seconds - in my case the phone is restarting)
Press and hold both volume buttons, then connect the cable to the PC.
Once the phone vibrate, press Enter to execute the recovery command line
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In my case when I press and hold power button the phone is restarting on logo screen so I have to wait for battery consumption
I tried many times with TWRP images but it failed...
I tried with CWM image and it succeeded to load, but I don't have otg cable to load recovery or ROM from usb storage (The problem was in installing TWRP and my ROM should has no problem)
I want to flash TWRP on phone not only loading by "minimal adb and fastboot".
I decided to flash TWRP 2.7.1.2 batch through modifying the batch file. I just used fastboot commands
Code:
[COLOR="blue"][I]fastboot oem device-info
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem device-info
fastboot [COLOR="Red"][U][B]flash[/B][/U][/COLOR] recovery data/recovery.img
fastboot flash aboot data/lock/emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm data/lock/rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 data/lock/sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi data/lock/sdi.mbn
fastboot flash tz data/lock/tz.mbn
fastboot reboot[/I][/COLOR]
Finally I succeeded to install Recovery and phone works well in the new recovery mode and the system mode that I've not update it yet
I want to share you the problem solution in brief:
Download and extract this file "flashrec TWRP v2.7.1.2" from here
Just select without executing "flashrec_Modified.bat" file from the extracted files.
The phone should be disconnected from computer and completely off (press the Power button for 10 seconds or wait for the battery to be almost empty)
Press and hold both volume buttons, then connect the cable to the PC.
Once the phone vibrate, press Enter to execute the recovery batch file
and as me the phone start the recovery mode in TWRP and can be rebooted in system without any problem
i must extract "flashrec TWRP v2.7.1.2 this file on phone or where? can u explain a

You need to carefully follow each steps in the method - if you short that magic pin and then connect the USB cable (with battery disconnected), your computer will report seeing the device at either COM port 9008 or 9006. Then you can download the factory image to revive the phone. Of course you need to have the right device driver installed. Like I said, as long as the hardware is not broken, this procedure will succeed for sure.

I've try to reflash my device again, but then i couldn't be able to enter to flashmode

Girlfriend tried to update her Sony Aqua M4 e2306...
she says that the boot loader was unlocked, and she installed the twrp update... and the root check came back rooted.... she powered off the phone and put it on a charger. ...
a few hours later she tried to restart it and only got the Sony Xperia screen then reboot loop.
I've spent 2 days reading everything that i can find and trying various solutions but most won't work because it won't stay connected long enough to use companion, adb, fastboot, bootloader, etc. When the devices is seen by pc it is only for a moment and comes up as a generic MTP device or a hard drive i can't open.
I can get the occasional green or blue lights and sometimes a generic battery symbol by powering off and pressing + or - with power, but never get a recovery or boot load screen... only alternating "sony Xperia" and darkness
also, Emily won't update.
I've tried multiple solutions using different versions of SDK, ADB, sony and xperia Companion, fastboot, bootloader, odin, pwm, and more on multiple machines from XP to Win10, but nothing seems to even make a dent!
I've removed the back and disconnected the battery for 2 hours and am currently trying to research a more physical hack/repair using riff jtag.
i see many people with "boot loop" issue , but no one seems to follow through and say how to get out if you don't have the option of booting to anything....

Not sure what your problem is exactly but it is most likely a problem with the cable or the s1 driver's(if your using window's?) one or the other ,
However i need to point out that you must have your OEM lock at the SWITCHED ON position(allow the device to be oem unlocked) or you will trip the frp at the next reboot and will have to reflash your firmware unnecessarily , so to sum up Oem unlock at the switched on position

the drivers are all installed correctly, I tried doing this with the OEM off and on and it did not work
none of the methods works, adb does normal boot
recovery reboot (and other apps) crash or boot normal too
volume (+) and power button only makes the phone vibrate (and sometimes the Sony logo appears)
I can't stress to you enough that Enable Oem need's to be on the "on position" so switch it on (allow the device to be oem unlocked)and leave it alone it's nothing to do with you not being able to get to fastboot. If you trip the frp on your phone you will not be pleased.
with that said with your phone switched on and USB DEBUGGING SWITCHED ON plug into your usb on computer open a command window and input the following command- adb reboot bootloader you will now see your blue light on the phone this means your sony is now ready for you to flash a custom recovery (assuming you have unlocked your bootloader ?)
I did everything that was stated in the how to's but to no avail. additionally i cant get TWRP installed via fatboot, i have checked and crosschecked usb debugging and unlock OEM , but i cant get it to work , with SP Flash my phone pops up and vanishes in the hardware manager withing fractions of a second so it doesnt work with the sp Flash , in fastboot it wont let me download to recovery even if i use the command line oem unlock , because the volume up button that you have to use to accept[yes] doesnt work , only the vol down[no ] button has an effect, anyone any ideas anyone?

I did everything that was stated in the how to's but to no avail. additionally i cant get TWRP installed via fatboot, i have checked and crosschecked usb debugging and unlock OEM , but i cant get it to work , with SP Flash my phone pops up and vanishes in the hardware manager withing fractions of a second so it doesnt work with the sp Flash , in fastboot it wont let me download to recovery even if i use the command line oem unlock , because the volume up button that you have to use to accept[yes] doesnt work , only the vol down[no ] button has an effect, anyone any ideas anyone?

To use SP Flash tools, turn the phone off, press download on the software then plug the phone in. The preloader is only meant to show for a short time (a fraction of a second to a few seconds) so SPFT needs to be sending the signal to download in that time window.
What I've also found works is to press download on SPFT then press and hold power and volume up until the device starts downloading.
thx for the quick answer i will try a.s.a.p.

That could be a couple of things:
Which SPFT version are you using? If its an older version try using a newer one.
Or
The scatter file you loaded is not good, download a stock firmware and use the scatter file from that.
Try this:
fastboot flash recovery "filename".img
or
fastboot flash boot "filename".img
Do you have the MTK drivers installed? What does your phone appear as in the Device Manager? Like others have said, once you've chosen your scatter file and recovery to flash, hit download and then plug in the phone.
Managed to fix this? I have the exact same problem and not able to fix it till now....
I'm in a similar situation. I CAN get my phone to flash recovery in SPFT and get a lovely big green tick but when I power off and boot into recovery using power and volume up it boots into the stock android recovery rather than TWRP.
Going another way via ADB, I can get the phone detected but when I send the OEM unlock bootloader command I am unable to use volume up to confirm. Only the volume down key works to cancel.
All I want is to put viper4android on. Never had any issues until this phone.

Are you 100% sure the recovery.img you flashed was TWRP?
Absolutely. Downloaded from this very site. It was this one: recovery_TWRP_3021_P9000.img
---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------
Did an OTA update this morning and am showing as on build number Elephone_P9000_20160608 now. Haven't tried flashing since the update as I'm at work with locked down computers. Was going to try again over the weekend. Which recovery and version of flash tools would you recommend trying this time?
thanks for any advice.
Actually I have the same problem.
I tried to reinstall the drivers because it seems to be not the correct one. Here is a pic: i.imgur.com/FoUnVyz.png
After I read somewhere that i can try and hold down Volume+ while connecting my phone to the pc where i started the download in sp tools prior.
I got this error code: STATUS_PRELOADER_INVALID(0xC0030004)
And here I am with a not-up-to-date elephone p9000.
Anybody care to help me?
I'm in the same situation, tried everything - flashtool recovery.img separate in download mode, flashtool in update mode full 7.0 with replaced original recovery.img with TWRP one, played with fastboot with no luck as did not find the way to OEM UNLOCK it - vol + not reacting. Bought the phone on Gearbest, looks like it's locked very hard.
Can't install TWRP
Me too! I've updated my p9000 to latest stock v7 rom with spft. I can't install twrp recovery despite getting a geen tick from spft. Tried four times but it won't overwrite the stock rom recovery. A locked bootloader seems to be the popular diagnosis but spft doesn't use the bootloader. What else could it be? Ideas very welcome.
Did you boot into recovery immediately after flashing? A normal system boot will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery. Once you start TWRP there is an option to prevent this from happening.
Can't install TWRP
Thanks for the suggestion. I flashed twrp again but it won't boot into recovery afterwards without a restart, just hangs. Stiĺl on stock recovery.
Hi all,
What I did:
- Install TWRP
- Installed a bad ROM through recovery mode
- #brick
Now:
- Stuck in mi logo bootloop
- I can't get to EDL
- I can get to fastboot, but I can't seem to run any commands on my PC
- I can't get to recovery mode
EDL Mode
- I can't seem to get to EDL mode where the red light flashes
- I have tried going to fastboot --> Removing power --> Power + and Power - and Power. Wait for Mi logo to flash twice, and it goes into "Power off mode"
- When I connect to USB again, it connects to the PC and charges
- In device manager, I can see Xiaomi Composite MDB Interface
- No connectivity over adb command
Fastboot Mode
- I can get into Fastboot
- Connect Fastboot into the PC, I am unable to run any adb or fastboot commands.
- Fastboot devices shows nothing, adb devices shows nothing
- In device manager, I can see Android Bootloader Interface
I've tried many soft options and have read through probably 30+ guides. I have not tried the test point method because I do not want to void my warranty.
Anyone experience this and can help?
Thanks!
Try re-installing the driver and see if those adb/fastboot commands work.
U said u installed TWRP right . Then u can go to recovery by pressing volume up+power button and then install another custom rom or stock rom but if u have unofficial unlocked bootloader then flashing stock rom will relock ur bootloader and device will not bootup.So go for another custom rom like resurrection remix its super stable n smooth too.
Follow these two tutorials.

To enter EDL mode, you need to unplug the battery, wait 10 seconds, replug it. Then, remove the USB plug, replace it, then while holding both volume + and -, plug the phone in the computer using the original cable.
Make sure to check what you're getting in device manager. If you get USB_BULK, you need to download the drivers. If you're getting diagnostics, you did the earlier procedure wrong so try it again. If you're getting 9008, you've gained access to EDL.
Hello. I Factory reset my Mi A3 while in my Google account not through recovery. Now when I boot the phone I get an error saying unable to connect to wifi when phone is connected to wifi and the when I try to add my Google account I get a message the The Google servers are unavailable and try again later. I did some looking and tried a few suggestions on line, about deleting Google app caches and delete account and add account. I deleted the phone in my Google account in my desktop and can't add it again, I turned off two step verification...it's seems like the phone isn't behaving at all right. I can get into the phone and a message will tell me to finish setting up and when I tap the message I go to the start up page. The phone isn't currently rooted but the bootloader is unlocked.
Thank you in advance for reading this far, please any help is appreciated.
I haven't experienced that problem myself, but if you have already factory reset your phone, then why not download the stock rom and flash it? That would reinstall your OS and may solve the problem. Do it from Android SDK platform-tools. You will need to boot your phone into fastboot mode.

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking about that and wasn't sure if it would help. I will try that and let you know how it goes.

Well I have gone from bad to worse. Now stuck on fastboot screen and bootloader locked. Ugh!
If you google "mi a3 stuck on fastboot screen etc" you should get a couple of suggestions. Can you boot into recovery? Press the power key and the vol. up key at the same time. Keep holding until phone restarts, then release the power key and wait for the Recovery menu screen to appear.
Also did you read the Important Note at the bottom of the instructions?
If the device fails to boot into the OS and keeps bootlooping, connect it to the PC while in fastboot mode, and execute the following command:
.\fastboot set_active a

Thank you for you reply. I did see the instructions and tried the script while connected in fastboot mode. I tried the miui tool and relocked my device while and now I am in fastboot with locked bootloader. I was reading about EDL mode help however the first attempt came back unable to enter EDL because bootloader locked. I decided to step away for a few days to take a beat before going further.
