My phone Huawei Honor 4a, SCL-TL00 4glite.
Android version: 5.1.1
EMUI: 3.1
It was delivered loaded with Chinese bloatware and no access to Google infrastructure.
I rooted it with Kingroot after unlocking the bootloader using HUAWEI website. I then flashed a twrp recovery, using fastboot . I prepared the Cyanogenmod ROMs and the Google bits on an SC card, ready to go. I rebooted the phone a couple of times using fastboot reboot, then tried to access the recovery mode using power+volumeup keys and it went straight into Fastboot&Rescue mode. It now will connect to fastboot but is not recognized by adb. I can flash to it (I tried a couple of alternative recovery images and they flashed ok, but made no difference). The question is - how do I get the phone to boot normally? I have tried manual reboots using different key combos, I have removed the battery, left it for 24 hours and retried. I have googled this and there seem to be plenty of examples of it happening, but none properly resolved on various forums.
Please help me.
Is there anyway to factory reset or just flashing stock kernel? My phone is unlocked and rooted.
Hello !
Did you find any way to make your phone work with gapps ?
How did you root it in the 1st place ?
I have the exact same version as you but I cannot find any info / person who succeeded completely.
Thanks for your help !
R3 Pro (3GB/32GB, 2015817 version) came with some chinese/sellers custom ROM (and locked bootloader). It was heavy and bloated, so I decided to update it. Tried latest global stable (fastboot) ROM via miflash, flash was successful but that's was a lie - it stuck on mi logo...
Then I tried various other ROMs, global and developers, latest and older, some xiaomi.eu, manhit, etc. (for locked bootloader) and all I've got was either just a mi logo or mi logo with "powered by android" animation beneth. I left it for hours after flash and still nothing.
Then I found some ways to flash twrp, did that successfully, booted into it, wonder around in terminal and file manager, tried some recovery ROMs - but the result is the same - just logo or logo + animation.
I can get into fastboot (but it doesn't realy matters since bootloader is locked), download (EDL) mode, that Xiaomi menu (with Power and Vol+, with "shortcuts" to all the modes, hardware tests - btw. everything works there, etc.), twrp, charge battery (with some ROMs phone just gets warm and I know it's charging, there are no LED and/or animation, but in some everything works just like it should), but just can't boot into OS.
And I'm going nuts!
Here are some logs from the last ROM (i don't even know anymore which one is it) - pastebin.com/qaKVzxue and pastebin.com/dM3nEVj0
I'm not so experienced in looking at that but seems like every other thing in there, like cpu, i2c (touch/sensor), sound, battery, etc. is broken/faulty which is not true - everything was fine before update, and everything IS still fine according to inbuilt (xiaomi) hardware tests.
So somehow it seems that all the ido ROMs I tried are wrong for this device? Or am I missing something (quite possibly, I'm tired and pissed off)
Last night I did a backup of efs/nvram and then wiped internal memory/partitions, flashed latest global ROM, restored efs/nvram - phone stuck, but this time not on MI logo but freakin' penguin logo (like here en.miui.com/thread-377870-1-1.html). Same logo is for fastboot mode, no more bunny. Then flashed twrp and phone now shows mi logo with "powered by android" animation beneath, like before...
I don't know how this works with Xiaomi phones, but looks like it worked with some factory/seller special combination of ROM and bootloader. Then I did update and something stuck, maybe differences between ROM and bootloader, or some inside/hidden security mechanism that stops boot process? And because I can't find original firmware and/or bootloader is locked (maybe even updated?) it's now stuck...
Either that or some HW fault, but it would be insane that official ROM update with official tools and in factory download mode with full battery can cause such problem!
Can you go to twrp recovery?
Yes, like I said in the first post. I can do anything but boot android/MIUI. It's either because of locked bootloader or somehow official ROM installed officialy (via MiFlash in EDL mode) bricked phone, which is catastrophic bug i.e. epic design/implementation fail by Xiaomi.
Try this

Sorry to intrude, I have pretty much the same problem.
Phone is stuck in bootloop and I can only access fastboot mode and EDL mode (but in EDL the phone does not connect to pc) and when I try to flash a stock ROM (since I know it is a software issue due to an unfortunate update) it says "locked device". So I tried to unlock it via MiUnlock... but phone cannot be verified 'cause "account not bound to this device" and obviously I cannot change any options since I cannot use my phone.
Please, help
it was happened to me about 3 days ago when i play around with the twrp & rooting thingy... tried everything from youtube to various forum solutions... just one link really works when you only have fastboot options and your phone bootloader is still unlocked. just follow the steps in the OP... key things here is downloading the tool to read your phone as mentioned in the OP i.e [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot [1-6-17]
1) Download Tool -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2) Follow all the steps in the OP -> http://en.miui.com/thread-277276-1-1.html
3) Enjoy your phone from back from the dead.. LOL!
4) Remember here, the key is NEVER GIVE UP and PATIENT!
NOTE : The Device will start, wait till completion , it can take up to 10 Minutes. -> for me around 15-20 minutes for I have flashed the current beta rom of MIUI8 7.6.8
cheers, guys!
blx-
I had a similar situation.
Officially unlocked boot loader. Flashed TWRP using fastboot. Only got the mi logo and a boot loop on start up.
Could not turn on. Could not boot into TWRP.
When the phone was boot looping I could still get into fastboot mode by holding power+volume down.
I booted from fastboot mode into TWRP by opening the command prompts and using
"fastboot boot twrp2.img"
That got the phone available from windows explorer. I was able to move a new ROM image to the SD card and install from TWRP.
Currently running lineage 14.1 -20190112.
I lost a bunch of **** but my phone seems to turn on for the moment.
Note, I still cannot boot into TWRP using the phone only. I can only boot in from fast boot as above.
Hello
I have a problem with my new phone :/. I bought honor 9 yesterday. Today I update it to C432B183 by HiSuite. Then phone found and installed C432B360 update by ota . Unfortunately Phone found update C432B368 by ota(? I'm note sure this number) and installation failed. I tried to download C432B360 by erecovery, but it failed too. What can I do? Is it normal to brick the phone by downloading update? Should I send it to warranty?
Thank you for your answers.
You can't boot anymore in normal mode ?
I can't. It show only honor logo, then system shut down and I'm in recovery.
As eRecovery does not help ;
Boot to Recovery and try one of these :
-wipe cache
-wipe data / factory reset
Hold down volumeUp when booting for enter in recovery mode.
I tried this too, but it didn't help. The strangest thing is that erecovery starts redownloading from 30%.
Bootloader unlocked ?
Thank you for help. The phone is working again. I don't know how, but I tried download rom through erecovery again and it start working. I don't have bootloader unlocked. But I learned it's very dangerous to update phone and I shouldn't do this again.
Hi.
I have a problem, I would like to know what is happening.
I have the global COL-L29 model.
When i blocked the bootloader with the Multi- Toll tool, the phone restarts and factory reset
All right, but later, when it reboots to be taught, it enters a bootloop and always enters the recovery, it can not boot into the system.
Because it can be?
Thank you!
Hello all,
I simply did the EMUI 9.0 update through my phone and when it booted back up I was stuck on eRecovery. No option from there works and it keeps booting up on erecovery (download latest version brings "getting package info failed and the factory reset does nothing, it completes than reboots to erecovery).
I tried everything (firmware-finder + I can't use the dload method because this phone has no sd card access). The bootloader is locked as I'm a casual user who just did official updates through the phone menu.
Any help please? I'm kind of desperate right now!
