Hi all, I am stuck.
I got my Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L29) and wanted to install LinageOS 15. I followed the guide here, rooting and everything went fine. I installed LinageOS 15, the most current build then, via fastboot flash system systemXXX.img. The process went well, the phone rebooted. But since then its stuck in eRecovery Mode. It offered me the "factory wipe" option on the first time, since then I get the options of Rescue (which times out or can't find the files), Shutdown and reboot. It also shows a "this device is not to be trusted" splashscreen during boot, including a link that leads to a 404 on the EMUI-OS-Site. Sorry if that has been asked already i did not find much regarding eRecovery.
I managed to install TWRP, but strangely it still boots into eRecovery. I can force it to boot into TWRP, but it simply will not switch away from eRecovery.
So, what are my options?
1) wait and see, try new versions of LinageOS.
2) use the firmware finder to get the original firmware (any pointers about which one? I'd go for the earliest 8.0 for the BLA-L29?) But how can I get it to the phone since its not an image and the phone does not have a SD-Card? Can I mount it via USB?
3) Get rid of eRecovery or force a switch to TWRP - is that doable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a lot of custom firmware back when I had the first Desire, but since then I used Blackberry or other, non-rooted devices. I want my control over my OS back.
Thank you in advance, let me know if you need any more information.
Ok, if anyone else needs help:
This helped me, I got back to the Mate 10 Pro Stock ROM

Important: after flashing, you need to remove the USB-cable, otherwise it will just boot into recovery

DISCLAIMER: I'm completely new to Rooting devices.
My phone is an HTC One M9 running Marshmallow 6.0.1 on Telus.
I attempted to root my device recently to try and solve an unrelated issue that factory reset could not, which is no longer important.
I followed this guide and got all the way up to "Power off your device. Now, to boot into recovery mode.", which I can get into TWRP no problem. However, I cannot push "SuperSU" as it comes up as "device not found"(ADB drivers not installed? Though I got this far somehow). I thought this wasn't a big problem and I could install it later.
Now I'm stuck in infinite boot. The HTC logo shows up, and after a bit it changes and does the animation into the logo for the HTC One. Then it's stuck like this(bootloop?), the longest I've tried being 40 minutes. I can do a fake battery removal and then access the "download" bootloader, regular bootloader, and the recovery (TWRP) no problem still.
If I manage to get SuperSU installed will this solve my problem? Or are they separate issues? Can I flash another image to at least go back to "stock"?
I no longer have any idea what to do. Any and all help or suggestions are appreciated and I'll provide whatever information I can manage.
Further information: I have wiped the appropriate caches(dalvik included) as well as factory reset through TWRP in different instances. I've even downloaded the stock recovery image and wiped again. I simply fail to see what the issue is.
Edit: Managed to get SuperSU installed. I don't know what was different this time. Exactly how many times is it supposed to reboot on its own until it's done? Because it's been restarting for over 20 minutes now.
Hi all, attempted to root my phone today following this guide.
I got right up to step 9 but upon trying to reboot and launch from TWRP I began to have trouble. I've been able to access TWRP once, but after confirming install of SuperSU (step 11 here, my phone booted to the LG splash and I got the boot loop saying 'Your phone is unsecure, bootloader is unlocked' or words to that effect. Orange ! triangle.
I can launch to fastboot, or download mode. Turning on to a factory reset sends me back to a boot loop after confirming I would like to reset (leading me to believe I've not got a stock ROM in there at all).
Now when I try to flash any version of TWRP from command prompt in my ADB folder, I'm told my phone is corrupt and it won't allow me to flash.
Alternatively, trying to flash a stock ROM doesn't work either. LGUP does not recognise my model, it only shows COM Ports: [COM4, H85020s]. I've also tried using UPPERCUT but I get the following error: "Error reading from file: C:\Users\...\Roaming\Temp\F9FB5BD\TempFolder\UPPERCUT.exe. Verify the file exists and that you can access it." I've attempted running UPPERCUT from various locations, extracted.
I'm on Windows 10 and I've been trying desperately for the last 12 hours crawling through this site/ other articles for some kind of solution to give my phone SOME kind of functionality. Ultimate goal was LineageOS but now I'd be more than happy getting back to stock. I'd really appreciate any help, hope I've given enough information.
Hi folks,
I see this is an extremely long thread,but I would really appreciate it if you could read it through and give a tip or two.Any help is greatly appreciated!
I just bricked an Honor 9,now I have access to fastboot(be able to flash) and recovery(TWRP or stock both OK),but I don't have ERecovery,when trying to go to EREC I stuck into a "ERROR MODE,ATTENTION!PLEASE UPDATE SYSTEM AGAIN" page,with warnings either about boot or recovery in red.I can go into fastboot with USB connected and the key-combo.Both TWRP and fastboot can flawlessly flash anything,I tried ways flashing system and oeminfo but when I boot system I either go into error mode or it first shows a Google logo splash screen(where it should be Honor Powered by Android) then a flowing Android logo(where it should be a Honor logo),and afterwards it reboots to error mode.
Below is my bricking procedure:crying:
I had STF-AL00B201 (EMUI 5.1) with Magisk root and system-less xposed before.Then I saw RR 6.0.0 and can't help wanting to flash it.First I used full package 8.0.0.336 to OTA then went into fastboot to flash.Surprisingly any command except fastboot reboot will not do.Then I updated to Test build B338 to encounter the same issue.
Code:
fastboot erase data
remote:command not allowed
fastboot flash system system.img
remote:sparse flash write failure
It seems as if there is a hidden FRP lock inside.But in Developer Option there is no OEM Unlock.I believed this is true,for:
1) @fl0wfr told me Chinese B321 has OEM Unlock Option.Since previous builds have it,the newer builds might still have it.
2)EMUI 8 includes Google Services,which is useless in China.
So I followed the advice someone told me on Huafans here
http://cn.ui.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=15241915&page=1&authorid=7879103:Flash STF-L09B360 via FF.After I tried I booted up with a somehow merged system(I did factory reset before boot).Apps like Swipe keyboard and Chrome came up but some Chinese Apps like Huawei Browser is missing.Still I saw the version number unchanged.
Then I was too shocked to do a correct action.I remember using HiSuite to rollback to STF-AL00B201 then I got a broken build number(EMUI 8 Android 7.0) and a broken model(STF).Then I was foolish enough to try the HWOTA re-brand method.When it comes to flashing the B120 files I saw the “update not found“ error on phone.Then it ends up with ERROR MODE.
Here is what I tried to save my phone:
Flashing firmware inside fastboot(succeed but no effect)
Restoring backuped boot in TWRP(it goes to Honor logo but went to error mode before the animation ended.)
Tried to flash oeminfo(and I got the Google and Android mention ed before.)
I haven't tried the full-firmware(two update.app) because I haven't got a SD card as big as 8 GB.But I tried the smaller file,it turned on with Honor splash screen but changed to Google instantly.
I have a unlocked bootloader,and in China it means my warranty is void.I am really desperate.
Thanks in advance.
Can it be a physically damaged memory or just a messed-up one?Even if I should go to the support this will prevent me from being cheated...Thanks
Finally got it fixed today,without paying a cent:highfive:Now on 8.0.0.341 with face unlock!
Short:Use HiSuite's system repair function.
Long:To be updated later due to lack of time now
Firstly, let me quickly outline what I have done.
Unlocked bootloader
Installed TWRP
Installed a ROM. I wasn't happy with it. It was rooted which of course my banking app didn't like. hideSU didn't work, I couldn't remove root so I tried another ROM.
Once installed I reboot and I have stuck in this loop ever since. I cannot get into TWRP. I've gone into fastboot mode multiple times and tried over and over to install TWRP and reboot into it but nothing.
Worse still is the erecovery option to download latest version over wifi just doesn't work, "Getting package info failed".
Another "useful" Huawei feature if the ability to hold vol up and down to auto install a firmware image. Not helpful when I have no ability to put any files on the device in these modes.
Finally, I have no idea what exact version of firmware I need to download. All I know it is a P20 lite and I bought it from the UK.
Can anyone help? I'm literally staring at this brick stuck in eRecovery.
your try to use hwOTA8, this installs 100% all the firmware (I had the same problem as yours).
nm
Never knew that existed so thanks.
I thought I was finally on the right track but it seems my phone is different from every other one.
I used HWOTA8 and it wants to install TWRP right away. I followed the video instructions and mimicked his movements exactly and when his reboots into TWRP mine does not.
UGH
Hi,
I tried rooting my Nord 2, but managed to screw it up somewhere. I followed the usual stepw to do this, but the first time I was unable to use my wifi/bluetooth/gps. My phone was/is at the A1 EU. Version. I tried fixing the problem, but made things worse. Now I am stuck in the red dot boot logo and after a while I get to the TWRP screen. From there I can still fastboot. I tried restoring my phone from there, but without any luck. Can someone help me fix my phone ? At this point I don't even care that much anymore about rooting my phone, i just want to be able to use it again.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I had the same issue, but without switch to TWRP screen, just stays on red dot boot logo and that was all. The solution for me was format of the storage with stock recovery. In your case you may follow the instructions below:
1. Boot in bootloader (volume down + power on)2. Flash the stock recovery3. Reboot to recovery4. Select English, after that Wipe and Format storage (the phone will reboot automatically after success)
Best regards and good luck!

Did you try to format data via twrp and then restart?
