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 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.

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
https://hcu-client.com
DC Phoenix download
https://forum.dc-unlocker.com/forum/modems-and-phones/huawei/155916-dc-phoenix
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,
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?
Hi,
So I've had a lot of trouble getting TWRP flashed to this phone. After a bunch of tries I got stuck in a bootloop but I was still able to enter fastboot and recovery. I then flashed the stock fastboot ROM which fixed it and I was able to get back into the system.
I then hooked it up to my laptop again, but when I went to turn it off to get back into fastboot mode it just doesn't do anything except bootloop. I get to see the Redmi logo for a few seconds, and then it just endlessly reboots.
I can't enter fastboot nor the recovery, otherwise this would've been an easy fix. I also can't turn off the phone. Does this mean I'm ****ed? I saw the post before me where somebody seems to have the same issue, but their phone doesn't show anything on the screen at all, which is why I'm not sure if I hard bricked it or not.
It's strange too, because I have plenty of experience flashing bootloaders and ROMs, even with other Xiaomi phones, but this one has been a pain in the ass from day one. I made sure to not use anything not meant for my region (EEA) or phone model (Camellian) so I have no clue what went wrong. Any ideas?

I think you are on the wrong forum, this is for Redmi Note 10 (mojito/sunny)
I have a pixel 6a that I successfully rooted but when I tried to unroot it something went wrong. When I restarted the phone I got a message saying
Your device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and may not work properly.” then it was stuck on the Google logo. I managed to get it unstuck but then when it restarted I got the error message again and it shut off. Now the phone will not turn on at all. I tried charging it for hours. I tried forcing it to turn on with every ossible button configuration I could think of. It is completely unresponsive. Please help. I literally just reviewed it from Google Fi a week ago

Are you on A13?
Did you have, at the minimum, the A13 bootloader on both slots?
What method did you use to uninstall Magisk?
What happens when you connect phone to computer?
Will Android Flash Tool recognize it? If so, use that to flash back to stock.
Try holding the power button down for at least 30 seconds?
If you were on A13 and didn't have the A13 bootloader on both slots, when bootlooping your phone may have reverted to the A12 slot. If so, your device may be a brick due to the new ARB and you should probably RMA it.
Yes it was A13. And nothing happens when I connect it to my laptop. And I'm not sure what you mean by "both slots". My apologies... This is my very first time rooting and trying to unroot a device
I am also using Linux. So I don't really know what other tools I could or should try other than sdk platform tools.

Did you do this after updating to A13?
It's a hard brick as per the link in the above post.
But why root, then unroot?
What steps did you take?
It would be helpful to others to find out where you went wrong.

Why not post this in Pixel 6a forum?
@Cheesymatt661 Okay so you have unlocked bootaloder + fastboot is working right? One of my friend also faced this and what he did was flashed latest (A13) factory images to both A & B slots separately and that's it. It was simple as that for him.
