I had CM13 official build installed, all was well until I had OTA update which I have done many times on that phone as well as others. After update I was unable to login as my password/pin no longer worked. Factory reset solved that problem and when it booted back I was unable to read sim card or connect to wifi or even Bluetooth. Trying to flash stock resulted in failing. I tried using dload which results in fail. as well as extracting update.app and using fastboot which does flash however stuck on boot loop. If I install a stock rom through twrp it hangs at flash screen. If I flash cm13 it boot but I am unable to use 4g/wifi or anything.

Yes
u did wipe every thing before u flash stock ? u should fully wipe ur device . ( data, system cache , dalvik and internal memory ) all this should be wiped then u can flash each img throw TWRP to same partition , try again should work with stock then u can go back to CM !.
Yes through twrp and fastboot. Also when trying to flash using update.app I am on stock recovery
while wiping u got any error ? of success with 0 errors ?
No errors that, I don't think
When I try to wipe using stock recovery (factory reset) it always fails. Although I can wipe cache

Try using dload after flashing stock recovery through bootlaoder.
I did, I just feels like I have tried every combination and every trick to get this up and running. IDK it seems like the cm13 update messed up a partition and only cm13 works and only partially works because 4g and wifi are not working at all. :'(

Well that could mean there is a problem with your EFS partition. But I don't know how an OTA could have messed it up. How did you update CM13? Did you use CyanDelta?
It was OTA which was flashed through TWRP recovery
In About Phone check to see if Baseband and IMEI numbers are shown. If not then something must be wrong with your EFS partition.
Going to stock through Huawei updater is the only way to fix this IMO, unless you have made a backup of your EFS partition earlier.
Try the Huawei update using another firmware since the one you have may be corrupted.
only sollution is trial and error,,
just make it a two way..
if you have stock recovery, try rollback package and install lollipop
and if youve twrp, download a lollipop firware backup and just rostore..
any one of those will get you on emui3 and you can start it fresh again..
gud luck

having issue with EFS without a backup for it is like breaking ur device , installing stock will always fail .
if EFS not recognized or missing the only solutions is service center only .
and if ( only ) if the phone works he will not be able to get any network to work .

Can I know which version of stock ROM you are On before flashing custom ROM ?
So I contacted Honor support and they said since I unlocked bootloader that my warranty is void. I asked if they have out of warranty repair and they said they do not. Seems like my phone is now an iPod Classic with a touch screen since I can't even use wifi or Bluetooth. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fully restore this phone I am all ears

Fix soft-bricked Mate 2 (MT2-L03) phone using TWRP
If you messed up the phone and it came to a state that phone can not boot into android, if you have TWRP installed and have a backup, then you know how to fix that easily.
But if you don't have your own backup, I have upload my system partition so hopefully you can use this to restore your phone. The backup is taken very close to stock, and it is rooted with SuperSU installed.
BTW, there is a "safe mode" boot method, so try that before using twrp recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...ted-amazon-app-store-stuck-boot-loop-t2872628 (post 6 and 7)
Steps to Restore you phone if all other ways failed:1. Your MT2-L03 need have bootloader unlocked, and TWRP recovery installed properly. Even your phone is soft bricked, as long as you can boot into bootloader mode, you can still unlock bootloader and install twrp recovery.Unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/progress-rooting-ham2-t2867975
Install twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc.../2014-09-22-teamwin-recovery-project-t28851442. Boot into twrp recovery and select "System" partition only, and backup it to your external storage (yes, I know your system partition is bad, this step is to create proper twrp backup directory)
3. Download following file to your PC, unzip it.http://tinyurl.com/qzxkm4x
FileName: TWRP_BACKUPS_stock-system-with-root.zip4. Turn off phone and take out your SD card out and plug into PC, then navigate to following directory under the SDCARD: \TWRP\BACKUPS\xxxxx, the xxxxx is a string that different in each phone
5. Copy all the files unzipped from step 3 to above location. overwrite any files with same name.
6. Put back the SDcard to the phone, and boot into TWRP recovery.
7. Choose restore, select the only entry that you did the backup, and select "System" only, perform the restore.
8. Wipe your dalvik cache, cache.
9. Then reboot.
10. If you still have problem, boot into recovery again, and wipe /data parition as well (Factory Reset).Download the MT2-L03 backup here:

FileName: TWRP_BACKUPS_stock-system-with-root.zip
And thanks @dbmj unlock bootloader, @Modding.MyMind build twrp recovery, and @D33PTHAWTE confirmation that this fixed his phone.
Glad you got this posted. This will be very vital to many people down the road. And great work on giving instructions to create a backup for the simplicity of automating the needed directories for usage of the actual shared backup. Thumbs up bro.
@D33PTHAWTE, welcome back
For everyone not getting TWRP to work I have done it on 3 HAM2s and all work try this.
1.flash this stock recovery https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-nJFDpWA4MdVjhEYzU3TXlMZ0U&usp=sharing
2.even if you have your own use that because I know that works and I dont know what yours is.
3.boot into the recovery and make sure that its the stock recovery and its working.
4. restart the phone 2 or 3 times to be safe
5. flash using twrp using 15 second ADB installer.
Has anyone followed thoes steps and that recovery above? (not your own) if not try that and let me know. take a screen shot of what ADB is showing you so I can see that TWRP was successfully installed. Starting at square one. Flash twrp and show me its flashed.

Hi, I have seen these issues pretty frequent recently that:
1) /cust partition is not covered in this TWRP backup, so after restore, you may still got facebook app mismatch failure when upgrade.
2) Even after a successful OTA upgrade, many people (include myself) met problem to reflash the TWRP image.
So, give me a few days, I think I can make a flashable zip that has latest (B148) stock ROM with root, probably this weekend.

This is a clean Stock ROM (flashable zip) with Root after upgrade to B148 for MT2L03.
It should only be used for plain carrier unlocked Huawei MT2-L03. Other varies (carrier locked) MT2L03 is un-tested and may brick your phone.
This ROM include /cust, /firmware, /system and /boot partition.
The official B148 update also contains update to SBL1/ABoot/TZ/RPM partition, they are not included due to risk concern.
I didn't fully test this ROM, I just pickup the image from my early backups. I installed it to my already updated phone and boot up fine. So please try it and let me know if you see any problems.
Working great for me! thank you, fixed all my problems.

Is your phone mt2l03 and bought as unlocked?
Another thing you can try is do a factory reset (to be safe backup /data first) and wipe cache, dalvik cache.

Hello guys,
yesterday i tried to install a rom, i accidentally formatted everything (including internal storage) and when i tried to reboot; it didn't. I just tried to install a stock rom with SM-G925F BUT not corresponding country of mine (on kies3 mine has AFG in paranthesis .wtf. ?), then i downloaded firmware from sammobile which has name;
G925FXXU2BOGB_G925FOJV2BOG8_G925FXXU2BOGE_HOME.tar
I kept flashing this rom and twrp recovery to reach into adb mode to flash any rom to just save my ass from losing efs/imei even if i did. But it doesnt.
To tell the problem in a way more understandable way;
The device cant boot itself.
I cant reach it from mtp or adb.
I can only get in download mode. whatever i do flash doesnt work.
it also says that cant mount efs (this part is im scared of.)
EDIT: I dont have any backup of efs.
The phone was 5.1.1 also tried to downgrade.
also tried flashing g925f pit file
EDIT2: Bought otg and flashed another rom but still the same issue... Please help me guys...
EDIT3: The Required download links will be on the top of the OP
Thanks for answers!
Did you try to flash stock firmware with Odin ?

Hi
i had a big problem with anability to mount any partitions through the flashed TWRP recovery i had on the S6 edge, lucky me i had a full backup including the EFS partition, and could either boot into download mode or TWRP, but as you unable to flash anything properly.
Odin, flash multiple roms...
Samsung Smart Switch and kies, emergency recovery providing the model + serial number failed
To top it all, i had reactivation locked enabled....
Now for the EFS, if you are able to get TWRP installed and running from it mount a USB OTG and backup the EFS partition
Here are links for Kernel by Alex-V
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765201
TWRP from Team Win
https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/
You would need to root after that, but thats not your problem at the moment, and for me the kernel is needed or else i will stay stuck and can only go into downoad mode
When almost everything for me was at the point i had hard bricked my phone i fixed it with Odin in the end
Firmware SM-G925F / G925FXXU2COH2
http://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy S6 edge/31bd/XEU/G925FXXU2COH2/G925FOXA2COH2/
At first this also did not work, but i kept looking and was thinking if it cant mount anything, partitions might and probably were corrupted
PIT files that can be used, normal and ones with different HIDDEN sizes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...925-pit-files-multi-thread-download-t3171636/
For me the first standard one failed at the hidden.img everytime until i used the last one which was
ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN300M.pit
Flashed completed all the way and rebooted on its way to the android normal post flash install process
During the process it first complained about DATA partition being corrupted and needing to flush it, then rebbotted to complain about internal storage needing to also be flushed.
On the final reboot, it went all the way in to the normal setup, accounts etc.
At this point i was again stock and 100% fixed minus the EFS partition
At this point rebboted into download mode, flashed TWRP
Remember to copy the modded Alex-V kernel and the super-su zip files if you want to avoid sweating some more!!
I plugged my USB OTG with my full TWRP nandroid backup and restored it all, EFS included, at this point the state of the S6 was again 100% operational
Hope this helps you and others.
PS. Verify before flashing anything that those can be used on your phone or if not find the equivalent files you need to do so.
The culprit that caused the problem to start with was stickmount app by chainfire who makes Super-SU!!
What happened is i instaled it, then it told me it needed to copy some extra files, at that point during the copy, the S6 rebooted and was stuck in an endless bootloop
That happened with the abobe firmware linked above, using that kernel and that version of TWRP flashed on the phone with Super-SU 2.46 installed
Even going with Aroma Explorer and deleting everything i could find on the phone related to stickmount did not fix the problem

Update: Nothing worked until now. Does flashing a rom from an usb-otg or internal storage differ? Also I can't connect to computer via MTP or ADB... Need serious help guys.
Guys i have found why the phone is like this...
1) efs partition is deleted
2) emmc files are deleted
if anyone knows how to fix emmc please write here efs is easy to deal with....

it doesnt flash because eMMC files "mmcblk0" are wiped.. Maybe a jtag issue. Is it possible to repair it without jtag?

I had an costume ROM installed, but at one point, while trying to change the recovery it bricked, and I just received errors like "Messenger has stopped" for every sing app (even system) and the screen all blacked, then I reinstalled the costume ROM again, but it got worse, cause I could only see a black screen, and had to remove the battery. So I decided to go back to the original recovery and installed the original, official ROM, and when I installed it appeared "Unfortunately System UI has stopped" every second, so I wiped the data in the original recovery mode and it worked, but now it appears the message: "Unauthorized actions have been detected" and it asks to restart my phone, that message is appeared all the time too. How do I get rid of it?
And the boot when i turn the device on is still the one from the ROM Note 7 style (white), how do I change that to?
If you still have TWRP installed you can try this method to change boot logo.
For the other problem try to use your last working backup, if it won't work - wipe everything and then flash original image throught Odin.

I guess, I will need to install TWRP again, and do that to change the boot logo;
I never had a backup, so should I wipe everything again (In TWRP?) And then install the original ROM throught Odin again?
To be sure wipe everything including internal storage - recovery and download mode will remain, everything else will be lost so make a backup of important files. Download latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it through Odin (search for SamFirm on xda to download faster). That should do the work.

my G925I just restarted and never be able to boot again, so i enter to stock recovery and wiped cache data BUT no luck, and flashed a stock firmware and still the same, it's boot to stuck recovery and show installing updates BUT at 30% its stop and saying "erasing" then its reboot and stay in bootloop,
i managed to get into download mode and flashed TWRP recovery, when ever i try to flash a rom the phone restart again and enter bootloop and it's never shutdown!!
tried :
1- wipe everything
2- flash more than one stock firmware
3- flash recovery and succeeded BUT it's keep restarting !
4- flash custom ROM BUT no luck, keep restart at installing !
5- flashed custom kernel and it WORKED :good:
for now i can only boot into download mode without restart
have a solution ? :crying:

This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery

I was in the same boat as you, (not as bad) I downloaded "samfirm" which meant that I got a complete backup of the OFW for my device, then I used ODIN with (downloaded and installed Samsung drivers) and then re-flashed the stock firmware back to my phone.
I'm now back to normal, but still playing with TWRP and some roms.
I hope this helps you (total n00b here)

thanks but that is not my issue the problem is i cant boot into recovery because twrp is bootlooping and odin is NOT flashing any sort of firmware or custom ROM thanks in advance.

Uninstall TWRP Recovery and Restore stock Recovery. Requires USB debugging & OEM unlock got activated on phone.

theres no way to actually enable those options though as i cant boot into phone but they were enabled before last factory reset but i changed system format to exFAT and since then nothing has worked trying to return phone to normal

If you manage to get into twrp format system back to ext4 and try again flashing. Most phones dont like if you change the filesystem and its not very useful either.
