Greetings, everyone. I'm unable to boot my Realme U1, after a recent unwise decision of relocking its bootloader after flashing a custom boot image i found over this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/method-rooting-realme-u1-t3916683
I hadn't encountered locked bootloaders before, so I realised it isn't supposed to work with android pie, which resulted in a system crash.
Now i'm unable to get the device recognized by my pc at all,and it keeps saying that the current boot image is destroyed and cannot boot.
Also, only recovery mode is working.
Any suggestions on what i must do to fix this?
any kinda help would be greatly appreciated
and thanks
I also have exact problem no solution till now!!!

Hey man!
It's not a hardbrick, its soft brick.
If you can access recovery then flash a custom recovery, then flash the original boot.img and recovery.img, then reboot to COS recovery flash your ozip and reboot this should fix it!
Hope this helps!

Hi! Can anyone please help me root Alcatel 916D (FB Spark)? A real nice low budget qwerty dual-sim phone running Android GB. I've tried all rooting tools i can find on the web like: SuperOneClick, Unlocker,Doomlord, z4root etc... but nothing seems to work. Lately, i tried flashing a new boot.img based on what i read from a post using a scatter text file, unfortunately now, my phone is bricked and stuck on a bootloop. I brought it to Alcatel Service Center for the reinstallation of its fresh OS coz OneTouch Software Uprade won't allow me to install it on my own. As soon as my 916D is fixed i'll try again to root it and i hope that someone in our community could provide me with a good tutorial and rooting files particularly usuable with 916D.
Likewise, i would also appreciate if someone could provide me a tutorial and files necessary on Increasing the Internal Storage of Alcatel 916D coz its merely 150MB.. Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi,
I have an OT-916 and I need to be root, this phone has an storage problem, only 90Mb internal free, and I need to be root for erase some applications.
I try too with SuperOneClick, Unlocker, z4root, DooMLoRD, SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse_ALCAPWN.... but dont work...
Please, help us!!

Alcatel has open source code for OT-916D - so what we need, that somebody with C++, Java knowledge for Root and CWM, I think.
Source Files
The source files for Alcatel OT-916 (and many other models) can be downloaded here: sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
As for rooting, I tried every available method, including MTKdroidTools, but none of them work.
I found a guide to root but i haven't teste yet !

Thanks for the feedback. I am about to try it as soon as I find alcatel OT-916 driver for windows 8.
By the way, how did you enter in DOWNLOAD mode on your Alcatel OT-916? I can't figure out how to do it.

I second this motion If anybody has a whole ROM that can be flashed with SP Flash Tool, please help us les miserables. :angel:
I formatted the phone, now it doesn't even turn on. I wrote Alcatel and asked them for assistance, but still waiting for their reply. I hope they can provide me with the stock ROM. If they don't, I'm afraid I'll have to take it to a repair center.

nice to know that this work! actually i haven't have this phone yet but really wanna have one and root it because of memory issues, however the link given is not understandable because its of different language..yes i can translate the page to english but not the video in there... so im worried that if i tried to, i am at risk of bricking it since i don't fully understand it and i see this rooting procedure is more complicated than JB on ios... it will be my first root if ever...yes im a newbie(noob) to android, so i hope you can help me and if its ok can you make a video if it does not bother you... i'd look forward to this... thank you very much
I have Alcatel OT-916, not OT-916D which is dual sim, and I tried to follow the procedure in the link but when I tried to flash the phone it just didn't want to connect although I was able to read the ram and all the time I was getting error USB not found.
Now the phone is soft-bricked. I'm able to communicate with it but it just won't turn on, like it's hard bricked.
P.S: I think 916 and 916D have different scatter files, that might be the problem. Still I want to hear second opinion.
__________
I forgot to mention something very important. The phone wasn't bricked 'till I tried flashing with option DA Download All checked, which kind of worked, the progress bar went to 100% but I got error BROM ERROR:S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL(5054).

Hi ghuyz.. newbie hir, trying to find all ways to revive by Smartphone... here's what happened:
first, i accidentaly formatted the sys boot of my device, resulting to a "reset for entry qpst" error because according to some geeks out there, formatting sysboot actually formats the partition 3 instead of partition 8.. as a resolve for this, i followed certain instructions on how to fix this kind of problem.. unfortunately, i cant find any complete procedures for karbonn s1, so i gambled to follow instructions for karbonn a9+ .. Now my phone is totally dead! It won't power on anymore. It wont even show "charging" when pluged in. I'm just a poor little guy who can't afford buying a new one anymore. For those geeks who have a benevolent heart out there, Please Help! I hate goint to service centers promising me to wait 4 at least 3 months before they can repair it.

I have the same issue I was trying to install new rom and unfortunately reformat the system drive...if you unroot your phone and ask your manufacturer to repair it or replace it you should have a good acting skills, don't tell them that you were trying to install new ROM because the warranty doesn't include system issues...

BTW: I wasn't able to find any fix for this issue...I just use my acting skills...LOL

We Actually need someone who does have a working Titanium S1 or Cherry Flame2.
If you find someone who does have it Please ask them to do the following
1) Switch off the Working Mobile
2) Switch it on by pressing the vol+ Key and wait untill it shows the "Entry QPST Download" Screen
3) Connect your mobile to Windows
4) Start Acronis and make a Sector by sector backup
5) Now Switch on your bricked mobile and connect it to windows
6) Start Acronis and do a restore that you made from the working Titanium S1 or Flame2
7) Reboot
This should do the job.However i was unable to find someone with the same mobile.Hope Somebody can help.
If anybody has the Backup.Please post it so that others can also Restore their mobile if bricked.
Thank you
I will!!
I will make one soon As I get the Phone in hands.. I sure will... Just have patients !!
Please Do!
Please Do!!
I Have sent my mobile to the service center and it has been over three weeks and still no result.

Yeah Same Happened With Me No Flashing Lights While Trying To Charge..
0k gonna go round..
OK ok I saw this.I know how you feel.Once I soft bricked my Samsung Galaxy S2..That's so bad.Here's possible solution.Download original ROM from somewhere idk you find it.Download Odin.Try to insert new software with it.If it doesn't works I am so so sorry.
As I heard before the only solution for hard bricked devices is.
Go to very tall building,go to top and throw your phone from there and cry..
For Soft Bricked you can fix it easy.You need to install new ROM.
Soft Bricked or Bootlooped is when you hear only sounds.Your phone reacts on charging but you don't see anything and you can boot into recovery and turn on and off your device.
Hard Bricked Device- Well nothing works.Solution is to throw it into junk..
I'll look out somewhere if I can find any solution.

Hi, the guides you read are obsolete. In recent MIUI/bootloader the option for "soft" EDL start was removed. If you're lucky so-called "deep flash cable method" will do EDL, otherwise "test point method" will work for sure, see http://en.miui.com/thread-244814-1-1.html

Hello,
I have a Lenovo Z5s. I wanted to install new android rom like Pixel Experience
I managed to unlock the bootloader with adb fastboot.
I succeeded in flashing TWRP recovery 3.3.1-0529 for my device.
I've downloaded Pixe Experience GSI rom available here https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5...evelopment/lenovo-z5s-pro-twrp-3-3-1-t3953346
I have copied and pasted the Pixel Experience rom (.img file) on my SD Card.
With TWRP, I have wiped necessary files for a clean install.
I have launched the installation of the rom, installation was complete, the phone has reboot, I show Pixel Experience boot sequence with Google logo. The process asked me a password (Encrypted?) . I decided to reboot the phone.
Now, the phone is blocked with a bootloop in recovery mode. I can't access anymore to TWRP recovery. (Erased?)
To explain clearly the situation: I have the menu showing these options: Restart bootloader > Recovery mode > Power Off > Boot to FFBM > Boot to QMM I> Start
FastBoot Mode
PRODUCT_NAME - sdm710
VARIANT - SDM EMMC
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - ********
SECURE BOOT - yes
DEVICES STATE - unlocked
No Bootloader, no Baseband.
All of the options return the phone back to the same menu.
The situation seems to be critical (phone bricked) and I can't do anything and I don't know what to do. Is there a chance to save my phone?
Your help will be precious to make my phone work.
Thanks in davance . Best regards.

did you guys sovled it? thank you
Has the problem been resolved? I have the same problem and cannot deal with it.
Did someone rezolve the problem? Because I have the same problem. Thanks.
Update 2021.01.24: I consider the problem mentioned here as solved, since it can be resolved with MTK Bypass explained in the Guides Section. BE CAREFUL however to ONLY choose "Download Only" from the dropdown box in SP Flashtool! DO NOT select anything with "Format" in it, else you will lose S/N, MACs and IMEIs!
--- Original post ---
Hi, I have hard-bricked my new Realme 6 while trying to root it with Magisk. At the moment I am stuck in a bootloop at the power-on logo (realme in white letters). The boot animation (yellow realme letters) does not appear, instead the phone reboots after ~35 seconds. The bootloader says "Orange State".
I can NOT enter fastboot nor recovery mode by any key combination. Holding Power and Vol- makes the string RECOVERY MODE appear for a split second in the lower left part of the screen, however nothing happens afterwards.
I can power down by holding Power and Vol+ an releasing them immediately after the screen goes blank.
Holding Vol- and Vol+ while the phone is off and connecting USB makes a USB serial device appear on a windows machine for about 1-2 seconds before it disappears again.
I am very thankful for any hints on how to unbrick the device.
Here's what I have done in detail to mess up the phone:
1. OTA-Update to the latest OS in my region (EU11.A.48)
2. Unlocked the bootloader with the realme In-depth Test app (everything fine so far)
3. Download stock firmware RMX2001EU_11.A.48 ozip from realmeupdater.com
4. Unzipped with gnu unzip (content was readable, no extra decrytion tool for the ozip needed?) and extracted boot.img
5. Installed Magisk Manager and uploaded boot.img to the phone
6. Patched boot.img with Magisk Manager (and if I remeber correctly DIDN'T UNCHECK Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity)
7. Certainly FORGOT to do anything with vbmeta.img
8. Did NOT erase cache and userdata
9. Flashed patched boot.img directly and WITHOUT --disable-verity or --disable-verification
10. Rebooted the phone.
Am I correct that my problem is the AVB/dm-verity part?
Why does the modified boot.img affect the recovery (I thought they were seperate)
Can I try something with SP Flashtool?
I do have a second intact device that I didn't dare to touch yet, if that helps resolving the issue (e.g. for SP Flashtool readbacks).
As said any advice is highly welcome. Please ask I you need any more information to help.
I did that too... Magisk patched boot .img process of rooting is the risky process , I bricked my device, got it into red state.. tried thick and thin to revive using various flash tools, unable to do it, finally went to a shop , got it fixed, go-to a good repair shop, if you go to the service center, they will say replace motherboard for 5 k , I hope it helps, do traditional unlock bootloader TWRP recovery then flashing Magisk zip method for rooting process.
Thank you for sharing! But doesn't red state mean locked BL plus non-stock firmware? I wish I could find any repair shop during this Corona lockdown... May I ask how much they charged you for having the phone reflashed?

Yes, you are right , red state means that, I guess bcoz, I may have formatted it and ran again unlocked bootloader but it showed unlocking failed, but I thought that I had previously unlocked it so it should be unlocked but I forgot to do that app thing process of deep test again, and I was on Android 10 latest and patched boot img of previous version using magisk, now I understand what mistake I made, I should have used boot IMG of current version of a 10 , but still I am afraid of doing this magisk method of rooting by patching boot IMG bcoz repair cost me 800/- , and I found out on YT that the latest version of a 10 of my device doesn't readily allows twrp and flashing zip of magisk.... Plus there are half baked info on important things, this is new device for me, I have had rooted Samsung and Lenovo, but rooting this is kind of tricky, bcoz it's still new, I think.... Want to try .... But I m afraid.... Tried fastboot method of TWRP flashing but can't replace stock room, so I guess I can't root .....
Well, there is a tutorial on how to root here on XDA, and seems to be confirmed working. I just didn't know about the vbmeta part from earlier Android versions. Haven't you tried that?

Thank you for sharing! But doesn't red state mean locked BL plus non-stock firmware? I wish I could find any repair shop during this Corona lockdown... May I ask how much they charged you for having the phone reflashed?

Hello, please check my reply to your reply on my thread. BROM mode is as known as "Emergency Mode" and should not be inaccessible. I will once again request you to try different key combinations and also if it's detecting as fastboot, ADB or Fastboot commands should be available. Please try typing adb reboot or fastboot reboot with minimal ADB and fastboot tools and let me know. If you want to personally message me, message my telegram. I will try helping you there.
Why is this thread showing solved !!! It's nothing solved here... Pls check and confirm

Thnx that's a life saver, I am afraid to go forward with the device, this is promising, I will try, I found out that the new version c17 os Android 10 I am unable to root by twrp magisk zip flashing method, twrp isn't installing, there's an .ofp extracter, but it gives virus with software, unable to do, even talked on WhatsApp and gave him Gmail id, will try this method , I wanted the SP flash tool method, it's simple and can readily restore the stock rom... Thnx Sundae.. daesundae ... What kind of name is that...?? .. chuckles...
