Hello, i have my phone Huawei P20 Lite wich is bricked with Phone Locked and FRP lock. I tried to write recovery with fastboot but always receive 'Command not allowed'. It's because my bootloader isn't unlocked...
when i want to power on it's stuck on 'Attention! Please install the update again'
If anyone know how to solve that, please leave an answer there!

Hallo there
Ok! So you can't really have an unlock code? Cause that would help a lot more... Anyway as for now from all cases I have seen you are telling me this is the hardest one. Altough there is one more chance that you should try.
If you have the stock recovery .img or a TWRP recovery .img you might be able to boot to it and do a hard reset which fixes your issue.
First download the adb tools from here:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Then extract it to a random folder.
After you have the stock or TWRP recovery .img just copy it to this folder and open it.
If you don't have the stock recovery, I have a link to it here:
https://mega.nz/#!SR9RzKST!dhXS0yC-p_SvWu-SYYLaop1aRFzSulLVrnSXCVVJiGI
Then press shift + right click on the mouse, it should show an option called "Open a Powershell Window here in case you have Windows 10, or "Open a CMD window here" (on windows 8 and below) click that and a window will appear.
Next, if you are on windows 10 and the window says Windows Powershell type ".\fastboot boot imagenamehere.img" if not and you are on Windows 8 or below type "fastboot boot imagenamehere.img".
Where "imagenamehere" is your image name such as recovery.img or twrp.img or usually on this stock recovery recovery_ramdisk.img.
It should boot into recovery
That way you can factory reset if on stock recovery of course.
Either way you gotta lose all your data right now, there's just no way around it without losing data.
Cheers and best of hopes,
AS

Yeah you are right, my bad :/
I have a simple one, have you tried "fastboot reboot recovery" via the same command line as well? I know it's obvious but that should work for you...
If it doesn't please send me the error code.

I'm also having almost the same issue. My p20 lite is locked to Japan AU network and frp lock but it's not bricked. I want to use it here in Philippines that's why I'm planning to install a stock rom which will work here. Can you help me?
Hello, I have the exact same problem the guy above has, and I tried "Fastboot reboot recovery" and it still didn't work, I believe because of my cellphone. Do you have any more advice?
contact me i will try help
Hi kikson112!
If You are able to help in such problem I would like to ask You for help as well.
My case look similar.
My P20 lite with no reason (nothing I know) got locked . the screen is black and when I try to unlock it shows only time and weather in uper right corner. It looks like it would stuck in flipcover mode but I never had one.
I tried to reset it , reboot it but nothing help.
I tried to connect by Hisuite to download My data but it is not in debugg mode so I cannot connect.
During reset it looks like it is not loading the system.
When I connect my bluetooth headset it connects.
It is playing the alarm in the morning.
But I cannot do anything. The screen does not respond.
Any ideas what could I try to get My data would be apprieciate.

hi, for rescue data use converter to connect a mouse in usb port should work, in this case posible digitizer can be just broken, try download software math to ur phone and write it over sd card by 3 buttons (vol - vol + pwr) and post here if any changes
Umm, you can try to get Huawei to do it or youcan buy an unlock key to flash the stuff.
I think there is a special Huawei Flash mode but I don't remember how to access it anymore because I was a Huawei employee and I knew how before but I forgot. Sorry!
hi all, i have the same problem...Huawei logo...

Hi.
Unfortunately i flashed a Android OS system software, while tablet was rooted. It failed. So now I cannot boot into recovery on it A7600-f. My PC computer will not find the tablet when connecting with a USB cable. System will not load on the tablet. It will not go into recovery either when I press "Power+volume up" and choose recovery. Only option is to go into fastboot. However it does not work proberly either! So I think it's lost, or do you know how to solve this?
I have also tried SP Flash tool, but again the tablet is never recognized
However when I go in to fastboot by holding "Power +volume up" down, I write: fastbott devices on my pc. Then the proper name of the tablet comes up:
C:\... fastboot devices
mt6582_phone fastboot
However when trying to flash a stock rom system.img in fastboot I'm stuck at "Erasing" system... and no OKAY comes. Or when I try to boot boot.img from a stock recovery in fastboot it never says ok, only booting..... So I think my fastboot is not working right:
c:\adb>fastboot boot boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'
OKAY [ 0.170s]
booting....
And that's it.. after booting... no OKAY comes and CMD freezes.
So anybody knows how to solve this? How to get my tablet back with a android OS system?
Thanks for any help I can get.

How Can i Flash Android or factory reset or unlock bootloader
Sorry English not my first language .
Well, you need to do the following:
1- Download the firmware from here
then extract the file to get the "dload" folder.
2-Get sdcard and use card reader so your pc be able to read it as a flash stick.
3- copy "dload" folder to sdcard, then insert it into your device.
4- Get into the recovery mode,
by completely turning off your device, then press (Vlo. UP + power) buttons, wait the device vibs, release the power button and keep "vol. up" one, till you get into the recovery mode.
and from the list, chose "upgrade from sdcard" option (the last one), and your device will start re-installing the whole system again.

What did you do to get your device like that?
Generally you will find the IMEI of your device on label sticker comes with the device box, usually between the manual's pages.
Try this method to unlock the bootloader, it MIGHT work, i'm not sure, but give it a try
Get into fastboot mode (Vol. down + power) then
type this code:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock 1282022012246616

Not sure if you still have this thread in notification, but I'm having the exact same issue as the OP.
Model - S10-231u
IMEI: 863693023231929
S/N: K8D6R14B03000379
Hope you can calculate a code to unlock it, I'm ready to test or flash anything if you need me to do so.
I have the same problem and can not find a solution to it today so I hope you help
I unfortunately can not find the imei number
I have an SN number and a mac number
Either the device number S10-231w
I hope you can solve my friends
Hi guys,
I just tried to do a firmware update for my COL-L29C432 to build number 151.
Unfortunately something went wrong and now android does not start anymore.
I can enter the eRecovery and fastboot.
I tried via eRecovery to download and install a new system but somehow it can not contact the huawei server but it even didn't ask me for a wifi password...
Even if i remove the password on the wifi the phone can not reach the server somehow.
I also tried flashing the build manually via fastboot (via teammt multitool) but after this the phone doesn't start as well.
Any ideas what i could try?
Regards,
flattervieh

Hello
If you have the bootloader unlocked, you can try with Huawei's Multi-Tool.
There you have an option called "unbrick".
Good Luck.

I tried that but had some troubles as well.
I downloaded the firmware which was working before, extracted the mentioned partitions and started the process.
But somehow for the "recovery" partition it says something like "the filesize of the image file is incorrect to the one mentioned from the system".
Looks like that there is somewhere a partitiontable which tells a different partition size. Cant i just overwrite everything and install android from the beginning?

What firmware did you have installed before trying 151?
If u can enter erecovery just do it with funkyhuawei. For all instructions visit their site.

HuRUpdater can install android onto "anything whats left"?
Can I use an usbstick to access the image? As I can't boot currently I can't copy the data to the device and this one has no sd card as well.

Fastboot is working. I can flash twrp_bkl_0.7:

sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (23542 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.625s]
writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...
OKAY [ 0.469s]

But then, when I restart and try to enter directly the recovery (pressing volume up) it just tries to start but does three times bootloop till it enters eRecovery.
Can't I just wipe and flash a clean system directly via fastboot?

Same here, exactly same problem. Unlocked, no twrp. bricked hard:/
Update: I had got my twrp now what should i do? i cant sideload the update zip @miststudent2011
I have a Moto G Play 2021 (XT2093-4) (another one), that I made a mistake to relock the bootloader after I had it unlocked. I don't have access to the OS on the phone anymore. Previously I had the treble floss installed on it. I don't have TWRP installed. The only thing I have access to is fastboot. I realise I might have completely bricked this phone but I thought I ask here to see if there is any way to unlock the OEM again just using the fastboot.
the fastboot screen on the phone has a menu option to go into recovery mode. stock recovery might be able to restore your phone to working condition.
volume-down + power buttons > fastboot mode > volume button to 'recovery' option > power button to execute. if your recovery screen is broken with the 'no command' message, hold down the power button and quickly press and release the volume-up button. that should get you to the working recovery screen where you can try to factory reset your phone.

Thanks, but I think my phone is completely messed up now. If you can believe it, I can't even get to recovery mode. I can get to fastboot and then find the recovery mode and click to go to it but then it just starts the fastboot again. I'm basically stuck in fastboot forever. It's just weird cause there's nothing wrong with the hardware. Thanks again.
if you have nothing working on your phone but fastboot mode, that might still be enough to rescue your phone. boot it to the fastboot screen, connect it to a pc that has the fastboot program installed, open a terminal window on the pc wherever fastboot is, and type 'fastboot devices'. if your phone answers with its serial number, you'rr probably able to flash a whole stock rom to it piece by piece. get a stock rom from somewhere like lenovo, using their lmsa program, or just download the right one from lolinet or somewhere. unzip it. then, for instance, to flash the boot.img to your phone you would type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. that would replace your possibly broken boot partition with a known good one. then 'fastboot reboot' to see if that helped. there are tutorials on the net for flashing the rest of the rom. be sure to read one, because all of the flash commands aren't that straightforward.

Sorry for the really late reply. I tried what you said, but it fails right at the (fastboot flash partition gpt.bin) command and the output I get is:
Sending 'partition' (37 KB) OKAY [ 0.002s]
Writing 'partition' (bootloader) Validating 'gpt.default.xml'
(bootloader) flash permission denied
(bootloader) Cancelling 'gpt.default.xml'
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
It keeps saying flash permission denied. I have another exact same phone with an unlocked bootloader and I did the same on that one and I was able to flash a stock ROM to it. I've tried every RETCA and RETUS on this site: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/guamna/official/ but it fails with the same error. I'm going to try all the rest later but it's a lot to download for now.
Thanks again for the help!
First time poster.... please go gentle on me. Not entirely new to custom roms and TWRP, but really stuck here. I am trying to install a CrDroid ROM. Phone is not networked locked and brand new. What I managed to do so far:
1. Reset the phone
2. reboot into Recovery (Mi Recovery)
3. Wipe data
4. Unlocked the phone (using offical Mi Unlock)
I then proceeded to boot into Fastboot and flashed the TWRP (twrp-3.7.0_12-0-onclite), renamed to recovery. But after flashing and rebooting I can only get into Fastboot, or boot it normally. Holding down the Volume+Up and Power button doesn't get me anywhere but Fastboot. (Same for Volume-Down and Power Up). I tried both un-pluggin the phone from the PC immediately after flashing is finished, and using Fastboot Reboot command, but all to no avail. Its Fastboot or normal boot only.
I also tried whats suggested here upto the vbmeta image, but didn't make a difference. When sending the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command, I get the following error:
C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.939s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown reason)
finished. total time: 1.502s
Trying this guide for a 'custom' boot image from this page also didnt help
Really hoping there is a way to get this resolved. But totally stuck here. Have access to both Mac OS and Windows 10. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be wonderful!
Ok, small update - in hope to help others...
I went ahead and used 'XiaoMiTool V2'to see if it might help to load a different ROM. When starting the app, I choose the 'Bricked' device option, even it wasnt bricked. I choose the Global ROM 12. (The phone showed up as unknown and I didnt sign in with the Mi Account).
After the new ROM was on it, phone started normally and went through the setup. Had to re-enable Developer Options, USB Debugging, but even so it still didnt work - installing the TWRP just kept bringing me back to Fastboot.
However, the TWRP from this page did work: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomi-mi439.html
I also took no chances and held the Volume up button pressed and with the Command window open and 'fastboot reboot'typed out, hit the Enter key at the same time as pressing the Power button on the phone.
Worked for me!

First time poster.... please go gentle on me. Not entirely new to custom roms and TWRP, but really stuck here. I am trying to install a CrDroid ROM. Phone is not networked locked and brand new. What I managed to do so far:
1. Reset the phone
2. reboot into Recovery (Mi Recovery)
3. Wipe data
4. Unlocked the phone (using offical Mi Unlock)
I then proceeded to boot into Fastboot and flashed the TWRP (twrp-3.7.0_12-0-onclite), renamed to recovery. But after flashing and rebooting I can only get into Fastboot, or boot it normally. Holding down the Volume+Up and Power button doesn't get me anywhere but Fastboot. (Same for Volume-Down and Power Up). I tried both un-pluggin the phone from the PC immediately after flashing is finished, and using Fastboot Reboot command, but all to no avail. Its Fastboot or normal boot only.
