Hi
Just picked up my Pre-owned UK M10Pro and after charging it, Im trying to do a hard reset using PWR Off > Vol; UP & PWR
but it keeps booting into Huawei eRecovery and not System Reset...
Also, my OS is quite old, its a: BLA-L09 and OS is 125(C432) Nov 2017..
Is this normal or has it been tampered with.
Thanks
Power + Vol up is correct, make sure you don't have USB plugged in.
Ive actually just found out that it should be a C782.. which means whoever traded the device has tried to de-brand it... C432 is Europe.. C782 is UK.. so it wont flash any firmware..
Raither than pay FH, I might call Huawei.. and get them to push out a C782 rom to my IMEI..
Unless anyone has a suggestion.. Please advise
It's quite messy.
If you can't get into recovery you won't be able to flash back stock firmware without using FH or DC-unlocker (DC Phoenix, HCU).
I'd try with Huawei, see if you can get unlock code from them by email/live chat or ask the person you bought it from. With unlocked bootloader you will be able to rebrand back to C782 for free.
Edit: though it doesn't make sense... The recovery partition and eRecovery use the same image. So you should be able to get to recovery.
Have you tried with adb? 'Adb reboot recovery' is the command
Edit2: and while you're at it, could you boot to fastboot mode (usb +power + vol down) and type the following command:
Fastboot oem get-psid
Check if the output imei/imei2/sn matches those on your box.
If not, the unlock code won't work.
Then you'd have to use FH or DC.
Thanks for that great reply.. I can get into eRecovery no problm and the IMEI matches... Ive sent a PM Message to Huawei on Twitter asking them to check my IMEI and, if possible, push a C782 rom to me..
I bought the phone from CEX in UK where you get 48hrs to change your mind and refund, but obviously I want the M10P.. so if it can be fixed.. ill go that way..
Also, Im not quite sure how FH works... How many credits would it take to do what I want and return it Back to its original state..
You have to plug in the phone to a computer and then use volume up and power button.
Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power button but keep pressing the volume up button.
This will get you into the recovery where the phone will download the complete firmware and flash it.

Hi All,
I have an HTC One that is stuck in a bootloop and have no idea how to fix it.
Unfortunately, there was a screen lock and after failed attempts, it started to delete the data. Stupidly, I tried to reset the phone at this point. As a result, it is stuck in a bootloop.
I have tried holding power and volume down button, volume down button by itself, both volume buttons and still can't get it to fastboot screen.
I am using Mac OSX.
Also, nothing had been done to the phone prior to this. All stock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You have a few options, though it would be helpful if you had access to a PC, because then you could just use the RUU program to set everything right. You will need to know which variant of the One you have as in from which carrier or region, if it is an international version, as well as the system update that it was on as you can not downgrade while stock. The phone will eventually reboot if you just hold the volume keys and power together for like 30 seconds.
Option 1) Find a Windows PC and download the RUU exe, put the phone in bootloader mode, and follow the directions of the RUU.
Option 2) Unlock the bootloader at htcdev.com, install a custom recovery such as TWRP, and use a custom rom to get going. (This one you should be able to do on a Mac - voids warranty if you have one)
Option 3) Find a way to extract the rom.zip from the RUU exe and use fastboot to flash it. (Might be able to do on a Mac, though not familar with it to tell you what tool you could use to extract files from an exe on OS X)

Thanks for replying.
It is the HTC6500L that was originally used with Verizon in the US. Not sure if it matters but it is currently unlocked and using Optus sim in Australia. I'm not sure what system update it was on
I am going to try and get it working on my Mac first but it is good to know that there are options for me with a windows PC.
So you say that the phone will eventually boot if I hold both the volume buttons and power button down for about 30 seconds?
The phone is currently off as the battery has drained. If I charge it, it automatically goes to the HTC logo and into the boot loop. In order to get anything fixed, I need to get to the recovery screen right?

You'll need to get it to the bootloader screen at least. It definitely should be able to. I have had to deal with similar issues before.

So, I just tried to hold the power button and both volume buttons down for a good couple of minutes and nothing happened. Is that method hit and miss or you are sure that it will work eventually?

Ok, I just want to know if my phone is hard bricked, or if I still have a chance...
I tried to install an update (121 to 170 for plk-l01) on my rooted phone, with local update. It didn't worked, twrp show errors everywhere, and after turning off know i can't access the recovery. when I press on vol+/- and power for 10-15 second, it vibrate but nothing else.
Is there anything I can do ? my phone isn't recognized by my computer, by the way...
Why you did that? You can't update rooted phone

Try to boot into fastboot (phone turned off - connect with data usb to the computer - vol down + power on). Extract rom which is currently installed or higher (for your respective model) and flash from it:
fastboot.exe flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot.exe flash cust CUST.img
fastboot.exe flash system SYSTEM.img
Reboot.

Thanks, but unfortunately, it just 'boot' as others reboots. it vibrates, doesn't get recognize and doesn't turn on...
If anyone have any clue on how to force recognizing the phone storage, it might really help ^^
That is what my phone is doing, I tried to upgrade to marshmallow though with no root!! I put the zip in the dload folder and went through the upgrade process everything went through the phone rebooted and now its dead. Blank screen and if you hold power after a few seconds it will vibrate but that is it. I presume its hard bricked? no matter what combo of buttons I press I cannot get it in to fastboot.

ok I'm looking for a solution for hours now... so I just lokked how works our phone and I think the trouble must be in the preloader, because I can't even make my phone being recognized by any computer and I can't access to recovery.
I found this :
http://www.droidgyan.com/soft-brick-vs-hard-bricked-vs-broken/
Which could help. I'll leave that topic on for some days (if it could help someone) and I'll open a new one to know if there is any easier solution ! thanks and good luck.
I sorted mine, it was only 2 days old so I got it replaced by the shop I bought it on. I would say it was something like a pre loader from what I saw. I have never bricked an Android phone and I must have had 15-20 of them since my first HTC Magic and before that Windows Mobile which again I messed with tons reloading with all sorts of ROM's!! These phones are wayyyy too sensitive to being messed with, I always remember though that you never mess with the boot loaders, but it looks like these updates do to get it bricked to that point.

Do you have adb debugging activated on the phone? Did you try to hold phone buttons long enough?

Euuum..... maybe yes ? I used fastboot but I don't think it really matters now, there's nothing working on it. And I've sometimes hold the buttons for 30-40 second while praying lol

I just hard bricked my Honor 7 the same way. Is there really no solution? Other China-Phones are pretty much unbrickable, since you can always fix it via the preloader. No such luck here? Back to the shop and hope they actually replace it? While I admit it was stupid to just hastily start the OTA while having twrp and not stock recovery (no root, though), this is a terrible design flaw on Huaweis side.
Anyway... any hope or no chance?
i just hard bricked my honor 7 PLK-L01
it the same thing it is doing . not recognized by the computer
tried all the combination of buttons. but no hope
and it only vibrates when tried to turn on
Need urgent help please
@Idiocrate try to boot into bootloader mode just by pressing Vol DOWN button and simultaneously connecting it to a PC, don't press Power button, if it boots into it, then follow the method given by @piskr in third post.
Hi All,
I recently managed to brick my Xperia XA Ultra after following a guide elsewhere on the Interweb. I want to root it so I can rid myself of all of the extraneous bloatware that Sony seems to think will add value to my life.
After getting a replacement, I took tentative steps to do the same again. Previously, the phone refused to do much of anything after I flashed a new boot.img. The reason I did that was because, after flashing TWRP I couldn't get the phone to boot into recovery mode. So now I have another phone with an unlocked bootloader, TWRP flashed, but no new boot.img, and I want to get into recovery mode.
I tried all of these (all ways to get into recovery on XA Ultra according to numerous websites):
Turn off phone, hold Vol- and Power.
Turn off phone, power on, wait for 'Sony', tap Vol- or Vol+ several times.
Turn off phone, hold Vol+ and Power. Once in boot loader, tap Vol- a couple of times to start recovery.
adb reboot recovery
Stand on one leg, whistle the South Korean national anthem and press Power and Vol+ using the back of a silver spoon.
I'm pretty good with technology, usually, and I've searched high and low for a definitive answer. It seems to me that, in order to get into TWRP, I'll have to flash an alternative boot image. But I don't want to risk that, because I might not get another replacement if I brick it again.
I'd appreciate any advice or pointers.
Kind Regards,
Paul.

You can't acces to TWRP without flashing the modified boot.img
Hello dear all,
I have managed to brick my LG G5 like an Old Mill Brick.
My LG G5 (lg g5 h850 titan) does not boot. It comes with an error message as follows: Your device is corrupt. It cannot be trusted and will not boot.
What I already did to Unbrick:
Tried to unlock the OEM. No way from USB Debugging as I cannot go into OS.
Tried unlock the OEM from fastboot (remote: oem unlock is not allowed).
Tried to flash some things like (boot.img, system.img) even adb sideload stuff. Nothing works. I cannot flash anything because (flashing not allowed) because OEM is not unlocked, but cannot unlock the OEM because it is not allowed. WHAT in the brick do I have to do now?
Cause of the brick of the bricks:
The LG G5 was on LineageOS, all stable and solid. When a prompt appeared telling me that I have to update the OS. So I was like yeah ok whatever. BUT, it did from OTA. I also had a specific LineageOS APP for updating the OS. After some minutes (updating) I immediately panic and started worrying. BECAUSE, I knew what time it was (my device is dead). I wanted to turn my phone off but it was already in Recovery (TWRP). So I just hit cancel. BUT after booting up the LG G5 that corrupt device error appeared and I cannot manage to get rid of it.
Please I need your help! I also watched and tried (2+ hours) to manage to solve this via Google and different links and Unbrick guides but nothing happens. I cannot unlock the OEM because it is not allowed. I cannot flash anystuff because the OEM is not unlocked.
Update: So, there is no Recovery System present. No stock Recovery, No TWRP. And I think no OS either. So only thing that is present is the bootloader screen smh.
Can you still get to TWRP?

No If I hold the volume down button and Power and when the LG Logo appears I release the power off and press again nothing happens. It goes again into that error. I can go in bootloader but can't do anything with adb or fastboot.
I think TWRP is gone too :/
You should be able to get into download mode. Hold the volume up button with phone fully powered down. While you hold the volume up button insert the usb cable. Then you can flash the full system kdz with LGUP

Thank you very much! I didn't know I could do it in anotherway. Will definitely try this! Thanks again!
Hi everyone, I followed this guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/v60-bootloader-unlock-and-magisk-root.4358785/ to root the phone with magisk. Everything went great up to the last point. I rebooted my device and I am currently stuck at fastboot mode as my device can't normally boot into stock rom I had before I tried to root it. Should I just flash stock rom on the device? How should I do that? I am still an amateur and can't figure it out by myself. My bootloader is unlocked. Any help would be much appreciated. Flashing backup boot images doesn't help.
Just put your device in the download mode. Here are the steps for you:
1. When you are in the fastboot mode, choose to turn off the device by scrolling though the options (via volume up/down key and then pressing the power button to select).
2. After the phone is off, keep the volume up key pressed and insert the USB cable into the device. Make sure the USB cable is attached to a computer before plugging it into the phone. This will put you in the download mode.
3. From there you flash the relevant firmware using LGUP.
The case is outdated, I managed to upload the firmware via LGUP
Hi everyone.
I have a similar problem. I wanted crossflash to EU.
When I was ripping and deleting the contents of the partition, the phone lost the usb connection and after reboot it fell into a loop. It does not report for usb and I can not turn it off. Is there anything else that can be done to save him? I erased the partitions FTM, Modem_A, Modem_B, SID_A, SID_B, OP_A - not OP_B.
I have a backup of them
I'm sorry, my english is bad.
You have two options depending on which one is available to you:
1. If you get into the QFIL then try to restore the deleted partitions. It is quite possible that other partitions have also got affected due to abrupt disconnection resulting from power failure.
2. Maybe you can get into the download mode. It will be tricky. Press and hold the volume down key and the power button till the phone restarts. Once it starts, press the volume up key and insert USB cable (that is already connected to a computer). Once there, re-flash the firmware.
Thank you for your help. I was able to start the phone in download mode and upload the firmware via LGUP.
Hello! I didn’t root anything, everything is stock. at some point phone just crashed and now it is stuck in boot loop. i was able to factory reset it, but nothing changed, it keeps rebooting. LV600AM
The problem, in your case, becomes complex because AT&T does not release firmware publicly (that you could just re-flash the phone with). How were you able to factory reset the V60 phone? Did you get into the settings menu and reset it from there?

i was able to use power/volume down feature to get into factory reset menu, wipee everything, but nothing changed. it just keeps rebooting till battery runs out
I hope someone here could share with you a full AT&T V60 partition dump. Failing which your only option is to have AT&T restore it for you.
