Hey guys, please forgive me for any bad etiquette or lack of information (any information I can provide is available upon request if I leave anything out). I am new to forums in general and especially to XDA, which seems like a good place to get help.
I recently purchased a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet from Craigslist under the assumption it was a fully unlocked tablet not associated to a carrier. Turns out it was a Verizon Z2 tablet. I dislike Verizon with a firey passion and without getting into too many details, I'm fairly certain they won't help me because a) this tablet wasn't purchased through them as a customer and b) Verizon and I have bad history (unauthorized account modification, shady charges, etc.)
So I thought I'd do my best to make the tablet mine since the asshole who sold it to me has ceased all contact and I don't know how to get a hold of him anymore. No receipt and a data-less tablet.
Anyway, I successfully rooted the tablet and began installing apps that I installed for my G4 when I rooted it (SuperSU, Adaway, Greenify, etc.)
Things were going well but I realised I wanted anything that had to do with Verizon removed from the tablet so I was going to flash Cyanogenmod onto it with a guide I found online. Now rooting and installing custom recoveries was familiar territory and I did these flawlessly. It had TWRP and I made a backup of the system -no Nandroid, sadly-and I began the flashing process. The process said it completed without issue and I went to reboot my device. Enter my current situation:
The device, when I attempted to turn it on, all it did was vibrate constantly until I let go of the power button. Attempting to enter recovery mode (green LED, power + vol down) it showed me, instead of TWRP, a very basic recovery mode with basic options. "Continue booting up", "enter safe mode", "system recovery", and "power down". I tried entering safe mode and it just shut back down, I tried doing a system recovery and it shut down. The only time I ever see the "SONY" logo is if I'm entering this mode. I can enter what I assume is "fastboot mode" (power + vol up and plugging the device into a PC). Nothing on the screen but the LED is blue. I am trying to find guides to restore it if I can and it all looks promising but the only things I know how to really do are root and install custom recovery. I know there are PC tools I can use to send commands to it while it's in fastboot, or send commands in general I just don't know where to begin.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I know it was from Verizon, which sucks, and I know the problem most likely occurred with the attempted flashing of Cyanogenmod. I think I read somewhere I might have done something regarding mismatching kernal numbers. I couldn't find a way to unlock the bootloader so I assume that had something to do with it too.
If someone could give me a guide to restore it to at least its stock ROM where I can begin rooting and installing a custom recovery again, that would be great. Even better would be just flashing a ROM on there that doesn't need Verizon or being able to take it to a stage where it's unlocked and the only evidence it was ever with a carrier is the Verizon logo on the back. I'd really hate to think I wasted money on this and now I'm at a dead end because of a mistake I made. This was supposed to be a gift for my mom on her birthday which is coming up soon. So if anyone knows anything, or has a guide where we can at least get the thing bootable again and I'll just try and deal with a rooted locked device, that would be great.
Thanks for considerations,

I have spent time on that screen too.
2 things
1. .. If you installed dual recovery, there is an up, down sequence to select the recovery.
2. Find a downgrade guide, use flashtool to flash. Ft back to stock.
Also you need to know what hardware you are running..511, 561.. And use the proper version.
There are some options with the flashtool and prf maker that can remove branding and vendor stuff. I have not tried those options.

Sorry if this is late... But where can I find the stock? I've searched everywhere and I would need to do it from a flash tool on my PC? I could use all the help I can get.
I just had a very similar experience to the OP, seemingly identical in every way, and am curious if anyone has a solution.
ADB won't function at all, and the bootloader has blocked any sort of flashing via fastboot. Can't boot into TWRP, it goes into a very minimal "recovery," which I imagine is the stock tool, and the Factory Restore option there does absolutely nothing. Flashtool would work great if ADB / Flashmode was at all functional (device blinks and vibrates in a fashion typical of something bricked, and no connection is picked up).
Verizon Z2 Tablets are 561s.
This thing dead or is there some way to push back onto it?
Is my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Bricked ?
I got the phone from Ebay on July 6,2015 everything was great
But on the morning of Sep 21st looking at my gallery pictures, I found they deleted themselves?
not knowing what that meant I went looking for recovery software "Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android"
it was not working so I had to root(?) my phone, so I went to the google play store and found a root app that seem
to have high reviews, tried it and did not work out right the phone restated saying "Samsung's firmware upgrade encountered an issue" so the next day did some research first before trying anything. I downloaded Odin3 and entered download mode & flashed the Samsung it restarted had it on for 3-4 hours
then turned it off & turned it on later to find it would not go pass the Samsung logo so I went to hold the off button shutting the phone off that happen 2 times and on the 3rd try turning it on It did not come on at all. Went to see if google had anything on this some say it is bricked and need to use a jig so I got one from a USA seller on ebay and returned it because it did not work at all. Not the phone still won't come on & I can't enter download mode, how do I fix this, is it a boot loader problem? is it hard bricked? do I need to take it to someone if so who & how much would that cost? you think.
Other Info of the phone
70% of battery is on the phone
It's factory Unlocked
Root Software I tried to use was (Kingo SuperUser)[Root]

Should I post this in the Troubleshooting Forum?
The pictures I took on the phone disappeared all 300+ pictures disappeared .I am the only one using the Samsung
and it was on my table all that day. So I went to google to find a photo recovery software & found a software called
Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android (you can find videos on youtube) & using the software it can do 2 things, auto root the phone to find the photos and bring it back to normal or you Have to have your phone rooted. The auto root setting was not working on the Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android software so I went to the google play store on my Samsung and found a root app that a lot seem to like as it was 4.4 stars, went to install that the app stated I should have "Kingo SuperUser" on my computer so had that put on the went to root the phone & it did not work.
I got a screen on the Samsung saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Youtube had a video on this same problem so I went to Sammobile's site and download the firmware what was
"2014-06-11 USA(Verizon) Version 4.4.2 PDA (I605VRUFND7) Kies. After I downloaded that I downloaded Odin3_v3.10.6 opened it had auto "Reboot & F.Reset Time" selected and added the firmware MD5 file add in the "AP" secion then Entered Download mode on the Samsung & hooked it up to my computer
then I hit start about 30min later it Passed with a green light and everything seem back to normal 3 hours later I went to turn the Samsung off and latter that night when I went to turn it on it got stuck at the Samsung logo that happen 2 times and on the third time it did not come on & so can't "enter download mode" and the "usb Jig" did not
work. What happen & what do I need to next. Do I take the phone to someone to fix this.
Short version of the story
.Pictures I took 300+ disappeared so when looking for recovery software
.Found a software called "Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android" (the software had "2" Options for recovering. 1 the software would
Auto Root and bring the Samsung back to normal after recovering the pictures or I would have to had the phone already rooted.
. When to the google play store with the Samsung, found a root app download that & "It stated I should download "Kingo SuperUser" to my computer so I did that.
.It failed & got a screen on the Samsung Saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
.Went to Sammobile's site and download Firmware 2014-06-11 USA(Verizon) Version 4.4.2 PDA (I605VRUFND7) Kies
.Download Odin3_v3.10.6 had auto "Reboot & F.Reset Time" selected and added the firmware MD5 file add in the "AP" secion
Entered download mode & the Samsung passed
.Everything was back I had it on for 3-4 hours then shutdown the phone later that night went to turn on and it got stuck
at the Samsung logo 2 times and on the 3rd time it would not turn on nor enter "Download Mode"
.Got a "usb Jig" & that did not work and now I am here wondering what do next & what happen to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 do I need to take to someone to fix it ?

I guess it's the hardware? as It won't come on nor enter Download mode.
Now what, Do I take it somewhere? to fix it what ever it is ?

I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so.
I am not sure what the phone had for firmware because I cant get it on. I only know that it had twrp 2.8.5.0 as recover not the usual android. I can access the phone internal and external through twrp and though pc and adb. I made sure to get drivers updated. I tried to flash the stock rom from its forum but it failed,. any info would be mush appreciated
Hi hello
So here’s a head scratcher I hope someone can help me with that won’t involve replacing my main board.
Got myself the p20 lite (ANE-LX1 C432) - Single Sim.
I unlocked the bootloader with Huawei just before they stopped handing out the codes. All was good and happy with the world.
Rooted with Magisk and Was busy messing around With Termux, Linux deploy, Mobile Terminal and some pretty basic stuff. I’ve been out of the android scene for a while so was getting reacquainted with the scene.
Anyway. I was messing around in the terminal in a root shell just fixing basic permissions after messing up my termux environment as root. Phone randomly rebooted (I must’ve messed with the wrong folder -no idea which) came back on and my IMEI and baseband were gone.
No worries, I thought. Happened tonnes of times with my previous Devices (looking at you Samsung) just a quick restore or flash and all will be happy again.
Yeah, not quite.
Note that up until this point I hadn’t touched the system partition (probably besides the mobile terminal mishap -no idea)
So over the last week or so I have tried everything. Restore from Twrp backup. Flashed stock through fastboot, through erecovery. Those flashed ok but didn’t fix it.
Putting numerous different update.app FULL & OTA updates in dload folder on SD and internal all failed. Only used my builds version of course and only ones firmware finder deemed compatible/available
Then I got desperate (read: stupid) Decided to take the unpacked firmware files and flash whichever ones twrp would let me. First tried just the modem files. Didn’t help. Then just went through the list and flashed all I could.
I think the kicker came in when I installed the Trustfirmware.img because once I did that I rebooted and now I was stuck in an endless boot loop. No way to get into recovery. Not with their ton combo nor adb/fastboot.
I still had access to fastboot at this point at least and started doing every single thing suggested all over the net just trying to get back to stock.
Tried the unbrick option on The Huawei Multi-Tool. Flashed ok. Phone still wouldn’t boot. Did it a few times with 3 approved versions. Nothing. Only access to fastboot otherwise I was in a boot loop with error mode error no 15 and the verification failure (Attached below)
Last thing I tried after reading online was to relock my boot loader and flash stock. So I locked it with Huawei Multi-Tool. Reboot......
Now I don’t even have access to fastboot. My PC’s (windows and Linux) don’t even acknowledge it and holding volume down in all the weird and wonderful ways and times does nothing. All I get is startup Huawei Logo, Error Mode as per pic Below and then reboot. That’s it.
I’m assuming it’s trying to do a factory reset after relocking the bootloader (if it even locked properly, can’t check) but it can’t get into recovery/erecovery. I dunno ?
That’s my essay of where I’m at. Warranty is already void so not an option and I don’t want to buy a new mainboard (may as well buy a new phone).
So here I am. Is this my life now or does anyone have any magic tricks to possibly suggest?

Thanks for this.
The battery discharged fully about two days ago.
I haven’t tried plugging it in and out as/if it turns on immediately (though even though it shows dead without charger it still comes on immediately).
I’m gonna get a weaker lower amp charger and see if that maybe helps. Fml ?
***UPDATE***
Been at it for hours. Battery is completely flat. But h second I plug it in the the Black Huawei logo comes up ten a few seconds later it’s on the same error screen for a little longer then boot loops like that constantly.
The error isn’t the same as the post in that link though. And I am FRP unlocked.
Eh.

I guess your previous error was related to ramdisk...
Now what is your current situation?
-What error is showed in the Error mode?
-Can you reach FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE menu?
-What is your current recovery?

As it stands I cannot enter fastboot or recovery mode. Update from SD also doesn’t do anything. Battery is completely discharged. And if I leave it on the charger it doesn’t charge, only boot loops.
So with all that the ONLY thing this phone does now is:
- Starts up Showing Huawei logo
- Error Mode Screen with Func No: 15 (bl31 image) & Error No: 1 (security verify failed)
- Reboots
Ths happens whether it’s plugged into the pc’s usb or the charger. Tried all combinations of buttons too.
It has stock recovery as I flashed that back when trying to revert back to stock.
I lost access to fastboot after I locked the bootlaoder again using the Huawei Multi Tool. It’s like it trying to do the factory wipe that it usually would after locking/unlocking the bootloader but is unable to due to the error mode screen.

I see, it is really bad
My last hope is to be able to do a forced Firmware upgrade. Press power button and VOL + and VOL- simultaneously. Do you see the same as the attached image?

Ah man, I wish it would even do that. It makes no attempt to even pretend to see the sd card update. If I hold all the buttons in it still only comes up with the error mode and reboots.
I popped it open and connected a charger up battery to see if that would help but it doesn’t.
Do you maybe know the pin layout on the inside or know where I could get schematics? Been looking everywhere.
I’m almost done building my own Jtag box and am hoping to bring it back to life by writing straight to the damn thing.

Ah man, I wish it would even do that. It makes no attempt to even pretend to see the sd card update. If I hold all the buttons in it still only comes up with the error mode and reboots.

That is sad!!!
With JTAG and schematics stuff I cannot help you.
What I found recently and it was new for me (I didn't tested yet) is a possibility to install firmware via "dload" folder, but to start installation the stock recovery have to be full functional.
If I found something interesting for you I'll post here.

To my knowledge the recovery is installed. Well erecovery. It was working up until I locked the bootloader again and it went into a boot loop instead of doing the factory reset.
Is there any other way to force sd update other than with the dload folder?
Thanks for tying to help, I appreciate it.

You can check the official documentation about that.
Please let us know how you solved this problem.

Still unsolved as of yet.
I’ve finished building my own version of the Riff/Octoplus box as well as a makeshift Jtag. I’m still trying to find and piece together some firmware files and other board software I think I need.
Also, if anyone has any idea where the test point is on this board I’d really appreciate you pointing it out. I cannot find the schematics or any solid documentation anywhere.
I will attach the pics I have of both sides of the board as soon as I get home.

well, try to restore your device using dload method. It needs you to copy the UPDATE.APP in dload folder of an external sd card(formated in NTFS format) and then just press both vol up+down along with power button for a few seconds. It will auto launch huawei e-recovery and will try to flash the UPDATE.APP you stored in ext sd card. This should definitely work.
Dload method doesn't need you to unlock your device or bootloader.
Maybe?
I know it’s a long shot but I still have this phone. If anyone maybe knows if there’s been a way to fix this as of yet please let me know. ?
Lol. Still got this damn thing. Been searching around and seen a few people reporting similar errors. Never find out if they ever solve it though.
So. Anyone maybe have any knowledge to share? Anything at all.
I don't know if you still have your device, but I had the exact same issue with a P10 (VTR-L09)
I was able to fix fastboot using https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV
That tool was designed to unlock the bootloader, but I noticed that It actually flashes a slightly modified version of fastboot.
PotatoNV can also unlock P20 lite bootloader, so you should give it a shot.
Good luck!
If it works, you should be able to flash stock recovery image and then restore the system using the dload folder.
you can Repair it with Software Testpoint and Full Bootloader Unlock ,and then flash a Board Software via Software Testpoint, that helps 100%!!!
use this Firmware Download ANE-LX1
use the Software with logins and you have all what you need.
you must start the Software Testpoint so!!
VIDEO : how to start Software Testpoint P20 Lite
than in Software Testpoint you flash the included Board Software with DC-Phoenix and after that use the included dload update via sdcard and eRecovery mode and your Phone is running!!!
I would unlock the bootloader via Software Testpoint with DC-Phoenix, then the FBLock is unlocked and you can flash as you wish!!!! And the great thing about it is that you don't need an UnlockKey either, you can then read this with HCU client software, the only thing that's stupid is that you need a time-based license for the two programs, which you have to buy.
HCU client download

DC Phoenix download

Since I accidentally bought a 3-day license twice and my P20 Lite is now completely rooted on Lineage 19.1, I can give away 2 access data, which are still valid for 2 days.
you can edit your smartphone with it.

Hi all
First off I'm definitely a noob and it might be in the wrong place?
I'll start off by saying thanks for any support I my get.
Tryed to make a / i.e put in a TWR recovery
and got sent into a crash dump.
Now when I turn on the phone it stays in fast food Mode.
I've tried a multitude of tutorials to no avail.
The phone does have an unlocked bootloader done correctly, pretty sure. It's not rooted that was what I was trying to do. I'm running Ubuntu the latest version on a laptop and I'm seeking help to unbrick my poor new phone. I can perform tasks like getting log files and have even tried reflashing boot.images etc with success but not booting back into recovery where I could flash its oos, just end up in fast boot mode again.
I used bugjaeger at first with an OTG cable and another phone to flash custom recovery.
If somebody has a tutorial assuming that the partitions may be harshed on or needing something I'm unaware of or whatnot I'd be beyond appreciative...
Thank you for your time!
