[Bootloop&Firmware] Huawei Ascend Y530 - Fastboot loop & stuck; Refuses firmare .app
Hello,
Excuse me if I'm not allowed to ask for help, or wrong in topic. I'm new, and desperate.
So I'm stuck with a Fastboot&Rescue mode prompt on my sister's phone after it went flat. She put it in her pocket and when she got home she charged it, and this popped up. I am yet to fix it.
The symptoms:
- Fastboot & Rescue mode stuck; Not resolved by taking out battery/power.
- Official files from Huawei don't load on using dload or adb.
- Occasionally did boot up correctly in the beginning, but now no longer seems to want to.
What I've tried:
- Turning it off and on again (I slipped this one in)
- Sideloading the UPDATE.APP file with Adb
- Using update from external storage (M-SD)
- Clearing /cache and formatting /data
Any ideas on what to do, or clear steps on what to change on what I did?
Thanks,
Anna

Hi everyone, I have a problem. I recently got a Huawei y220 and rooted it and enabled USB debugging, tweaked the SystemUI.apk and it all went good, I had no problem rebooting. I also changed my bootscren with BootScreen from the Play Store.
But today, my phone got stucked in bootloop, and i know why, I changed the /system/fonts permissions to 666, and also when I was trying to change the default font (DroidSans.tttf and DroidSansBold.ttf) copied a font file, so in that folder there was some permissions changed and an extra font. I had to to do something so i locked my phone. When I returned a couple of minutes later the phone was like off, so i removed the battery and rebooted it. It got stucked on my bootscreen, and didn't showed me my ADW launcher.
I can't install CWM as there is no file for this model (because it's very new), I can't flash anything as far as I know. Tried downloading the official "upgrade" from Huawei, copied the file, but I can't seem to enter the "Software Upgrade Mode", (VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER KEY), I press those keys for about a minute and nothing happens.
I know my phone isn't fully bricked, for now, so, how can I change those file permissions through my PC or Linux?
I can enter the bootloader screen BTW.
I also tried AromaFM, but i get a signature error.
I've already wiped/factory reset and wiped cache.
Thanks for your time!

I thought the way you update / restore the stock firmware was by the update.app method? The update should be in an archive and once you unpack it should be a folder named : dload with the update.app in it. That whole folder should go on the root of the SD card so it should read /sdcard/dload. Unless it is a different y220...
Otherwise, you're kinda screwed because unless you have adb access when it is bootlooping (rare), there won't be much to do. You won't have adb in recovery either since it is still stock.
I guess it is the normal y220. The problem is that I can't get into the Software Upgrade Mode. Also, my other choice was AromaFM but i don't know how to stop it to verify the signature verification. If i could do that, i could have root acces to the files. Or maybe could install a POSSIBLE backup that i found online...
Well, when i am in recovery the device is detected on windows, but ot mounted...
Thank you
My point was, according to the info that I found, you don't update that one via the Software Update mode, you do it via the method I was talking about with the update.app in the dload folder on the SD card.

I had the same thing. It looks like Huawei bricks the phone on purpose. Not very customer friendly
Here's how to unbrick :
Download a Huawei stock firmware, for instance from
http://consumer.huawei.com/nl/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=77123&key4=Y360&key5=webisearch
This particular version is 2016-3-25 V100R001C577B113 847.34 MB
Unzip the file and copy dload/update.zip including the directory to the root of an sd card.
Then press Vol-UP and Power at the same time, and select install updates. Done.
i have an problem my huawei y360 is giving me problem its trying to load up and stop a went to the bootlog so am trying to custom rom it because i dont have any assess to the phone.
hello.
i have the same issue here with my y360.
after i did kingroot and restarted my phone after an update only the logo boot remained.
the fw update from sd card didnt work because the phone doesn't recognize the card, afterwards i tried to flash it with the sp flash tool (old and new versions) but it was either ''invalid scatter file'' or ''dram error something...'' ofcourse i tried different fw versions but nothing worked.
anybody has an idea what to do or i should throw it to the garbage? thanks
I have the same thing going on. Trying to fix y360 for my nephew. Keeps bootlooping. It's stock.
Tried to use SP Flash Tool, but it keeps nagging about a faulty scatter.txt file, even though I downloaded the newest firmware directly from Huawei (so it has to be the right one).
I then tried to do an ADB sideload, that's what I can access right now. adb sideload update.zip (from inside the manufacturer's .rar file).
adb push does not work because ADB is not recognised, because the phone won't turn on.
Goes ok until 53% and then crashes. Internal memory runs out?
From what I can find,I should push the dload folder to sdcard, but I can't, because I can't mount the external sdcard to transfer the folder to.
So, my only option seems to be to borrow someone's phone with a microSD slot to transfer the folder, then change the card to the y360? Or get an adapter SD->microSD, then transfer the folder? Neither of which are available to me right now. Is this for real?
Damn, I miss the fastboot flash system system.img command of the more advanced phones.
70% of the instructions about this model bricking are in Spanish, so it is kind of hard to figure out what to do.

try to flash stock rom
I'd appropriate it, if anyone would be willing to help me out with my issue.
I have a LG G2 D801, 32GB.
Had it ROOTED, TWRP Recovery, and Lineage OS 14.1 running perfectly just fine. Until I recently tried to Flash Lineage OS 15.1, which then caused my phone to completely go into a black screen with a dead Android Robot having a exclamation point in a red triangle coming out of it's belly.
Yes, I'm able to get into: Android System Recovery <3e> LRXX22G
- Tried, Reboot System Now and it loops right back into the Android System Recovery <3e> LRXX22G screen. (so that's a dead end)
- Tried, Wipe Cache Partition, then Reboot System Now and it loops right back into the Android System Recovery <3e> LRXX22G screen. (so that's a dead end)
- Tried, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, then Wipe Cache Partition, then Reboot System Now and it loops right back into the Android System Recovery <3e> LRXX22G screen. (so that's a dead end)
- Last but not least, leaving me with the only real option I have left to help fix my phone is the, Apply Update From ADB. (Yes, I tried that one too) Which is why I need your help!
Here's a quick scenario of what happens after trying that last option. (Apply Update From ADB)
-Basically my phone then asks me to ADB Sideload files.
-I connect my phone to my PC. (Windows 7, x64)
-Check my Device Manager to see if it's fully connected, but my D801 connects each time under SAMSUNG Android Phone - AndroidNet Sooner Single ADB Interface. (which I know has to be wrong)
-I go into my CMD Prompt, to access my installed ADB Shell, to search for attached ADB Devices. (Yes, it sees my phone as: LGD801cb55c4e4 sideload)
-I proceed to try to sideload a ROM and after about 30% Signature Verification, Fails causing my D801 to Abort Installation. (no matter what I throw at it, IMG/KDZ/TOT files fail as well.)
Now when it comes to trying the methods listed in: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 to Flash Stock Firmware, I simply can't because my D801 doesn't connect to my PC in Device Manager under Ports or QHSUSB_BULK. (it connects each time under SAMSUNG Android Phone - AndroidNet Sooner Single ADB Interface.
I've also tried SRKtool_2.1_droidth which ends up leaving me at another dead end.
If you have the time please help, and or point me in the right direction.
I've already installed the needed drivers:
qualcomm-driver
adb-setup-1.4.3
LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0
Downloaded all the corresponding files to my PC for my D801:
Firmware Files (KDZ & TOT also Extracted)
LG Flash Tool 2014 & 2015
SRKtool_2.1_droidth
Megalock DLL File
D801 DLL File
LGUP
Silly suggestion perhaps, but after freaking out for about an hour when this happened to me I ended up realizing I could reboot to TWRP using the hard keys. Honestly, I only mention it because I was trying everything else too. If you didn't already try it (I didn't see it in your description) I think it's the power key and volume down key while it's off and as soon as you see the splash screen, release them both and immediately repress and hold them both until you see TWRP. Just a thought.
I loved that phone!

Just tried your technique @C-Tec. Thank you. But that only brings up the Factory Data Reset Screen (to Erase all user data & Restore default settings) instead of the TWRP Recovery screen. (so that's a dead end)
Because, after selecting Yes, Erasing data and Restoring default settings, my phone reboots in to the same loop I started from, as if I never did anything to remedy the situation.
Update on my progress:
-So I was able to get in to Download Mode. (holding the VOLUME UP button, while the phone is off)
-Followed by the Firmware Update Screen after plugging my phone in to my PC via USB. (which then read my phone as - LG Mobile USB Serial Port. (COM8) under Ports in Device Manger)
-I then Flashed the D801 Stock Lollipop KDZ. (by using the LG Flash Tool 2014)
-Waited for the progress bar to completely fill to 100% and BOOM! I fixed my problem.
-Android Lollipop running like NEW. (that's 2014 NEW :crying
-Now to retry Lineage OS 15.1.
Here's a helpful Video Clip, to understand how to use the Flash Tool. -

Being that I'm low ranked I cant post any links just yet, sorry.
I even went out of my way and ordered a LG V20 off of Swappa, which arrives tomorrow. Due to this issue.
First of all, thanks for the great guides published here and all the work that went into them. They help resolve a lot of issues.
Unfortunately I encountered an issue today on my KIW-L21 that I can't find a solution for in the published guides. Today a stock update (installed via TWRP) got stuck on first boot and somehow managed to break the DLOAD recovery option (accessed by pressing Vol Up+Down when powering up the phone). Whenever I try to enter the DLOAD recovery mode now, the phone is not flashing the UPDATE.APP from the dload folder on the SD card anymore, but is showing an update screen (looks like a usb plug in a circle). This process stays on 5% for a while and then just reboots the phone into the regular system. So no option to recover from the UPDATE.APP anymore. Otherwise the phone still seems to be working fine.
Here's what I did to run into the problem:
- Successfully flash 5.1_EMUI 3.1_C432B140 firmware found in the Honor 5X repository on XDA via DLOAD recovery
- Flash TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-0-kiwi) via fastboot
- Download update to 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C432B350CUSTC432D003 via the regular update option
- After download the phone automatically booted into TWRP to install the update
- Reboot after TWRP flashed the update got stuck on boot and the DLOAD recovery got replaced by that update feature
Since then I booted into TWRP recovery again and installed AOSiP 9.0 + Magisk after wiping data/system/cache. This worked fine and AOSiP is booting and working correctly. The only issue now is that the DLOAD recovery did not get restored that way. That behavior stayed the same.
I tried eRecovery (reports an error after connecting to the wifi network, but this did not work before either) and stock recovery (extracted from B140 firmware and flashed via fastboot) without success. Both stock recovery options failed with an error message but did not provide any details regarding the issue.
Is the lost DLOAD recovery a known issue? Not sure if a partial update is stuck somewhere and needs to be deleted or if the DLOAD recovery function can be flashed via fastboot to fix this.
*** UPDATE 1
Here's some additional things I tried to fix the issue and that I noticed during those attempts:
- Recovery via HiSuite unfortunately does not seem to work. When booted into the bootloader HiSuite does not recognize the device. When booted into AOSiP, the phone is recognized, but the HiSuite app installed on the phone fails to work due to missing location authorizations. It doesn't ask for them though, just displays an error pop-up that leads to settings where I don't have the option to enable location access for the app. When manually checking the location permission for apps HiSuite is not among those that I can enable/disable this for.
- TWRP recovery can't be accessed from the phone despite flashing it via "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img". When launching recovery on the phone I end up in EMUI stock recovery. I can access and use TWRP via "fastboot boot twrp.img" though.
- I tried using the DLOAD update with the dload folder copied to the internal storage (local SD card). This did not change the phone getting stuck at a 5% update instead of the EMUI firmware flash.
- The local dload folder however seemed to have an impact on the stock recovery. While the stock recovery failed with an error before, it now gets the stuck at 99% done and a reboot just restarts the stock factory reset. I did find a way to exit this loop without waiting for the battery to drain (reboot with both volume buttons pressed into the update mode I don't want, reboot regularly once it stops on 5%) that got me back into a running/reset AOSiP.
- I can't boot into EDL mode via ADB (adb reboot edl). I was hoping HiSuite might help in that mode, but the command just rebooted the phone into AOSiP.
- The 5% update issue does not get resolved by disconnecting the phone from a cable during the operation. I read on XDA that this solved the issue for other HUAWEI devices, did unfortunately not work for mine.
- I noticed the bootloader does not show the FRP info anymore on the screen of the phone. It just shows "PHONE Unlocked". Not sure if that is important or just changed to this after unlocking the bootloader a few days ago.
The fact the flashing the recovery partition with TWRP does not seem to work properly suggests a partitioning issue to me. Is there a way to repartition the device and manually flash the relevant partitions via fastboot or some other tool?
If anyone knows how to fix the issue, a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.
[SOLVED]
I finally managed to fix the issue by reverting to stock in several steps.
Tools required:
- Stock Firmware (I used the C432B140 I downloaded from the XDA Honor 5X repository)
- ADB/Fastboot toolset
- Huawei Update Extractor
- Stock firmware UPDATE.APP in dload folder on SD card installed in phone
1. I extracted BOOT.IMG, RECOVERY.IMG and SYSTEM.IMG from the full stock firmware
2. I rebooted the phone into bootloader (using command "adb reboot bootloader")
3. I flashed the stock recovery image (using command "fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG)
4. I flashed the stock system image (using command "fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG)
5. I flashed the stock boot image (using command "fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG")
6. I rebooted the phone (using command "fastboot reboot"), this rebooted the phone in a stock B140 / B350 hybrid stock EMUI
7. I entered the ProjectMenu by entering *#*#2846579#*#* on in the phone app and chose "4. Software Upgrade" > "1. SDCard Upgrade" and confirmed that I want to perform the update.
8. The phone finally rebooted into the regular EMUI dload updater and reflashed stock firmware C432B140 to my phone
Afterwards the recovery from dload could also be started via Vol Up+Down when powering up the phone.
Hope this helps someone else fix the issue in case anyone encounters this.
I am facing a very similar issue on a KIW-L21 (running a custom ROM though).
Can anyone guide me to whether the steps presented can be modified to work coming from a custom ROM?
Hello XDA!
I've bought this phone bricked for cheap and i'd love help unbricking it.
What I Think Happened: CN Version of the Phone, attempted to flash the global version.
Progress:
- Automatically Boot looping (no screen)
- Goes to a "selection" screen after a certain amount of time
- Shows up as "Android" in Device Manager
- Installed ADB and Fastboot
- Phone is only detected by Fastboot
- I attempted to take off fastboot using fastboot restart didnt work
- Going into Recovery Mode does nothing
- Any other combinations with keys have failed that i've tested.
- No COM Port detected
Is there anyway I can unbrick the device? Please let me know!
