Man I never thought that I'd be in this situation but here I am, I tried updating my S21 to the latest FW that I've downloaded using Frija but after I finished plugging the files into ODIN and updating my phone I got stuck in a bootloop wit this error:
"Can’t load Android System your data may be corrupt"
Is there anyway I can restore or unbrick my phone without factory restoring it? - I made the stupid mistake of not backing up my files which I ALWAYS do and the only time I didn't I get this error.
This is the file that I've downloaded via Frija: SM-G991U_2_20220816092331_e4zyor31mz_fac
I'm able to boot into recovery mode and when I run the adb services the phone is detected on my machine but I can't access fastboot.

Hi everyone, I have a problem. I recently got a Huawei y220 and rooted it and enabled USB debugging, tweaked the SystemUI.apk and it all went good, I had no problem rebooting. I also changed my bootscren with BootScreen from the Play Store.
But today, my phone got stucked in bootloop, and i know why, I changed the /system/fonts permissions to 666, and also when I was trying to change the default font (DroidSans.tttf and DroidSansBold.ttf) copied a font file, so in that folder there was some permissions changed and an extra font. I had to to do something so i locked my phone. When I returned a couple of minutes later the phone was like off, so i removed the battery and rebooted it. It got stucked on my bootscreen, and didn't showed me my ADW launcher.
I can't install CWM as there is no file for this model (because it's very new), I can't flash anything as far as I know. Tried downloading the official "upgrade" from Huawei, copied the file, but I can't seem to enter the "Software Upgrade Mode", (VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER KEY), I press those keys for about a minute and nothing happens.
I know my phone isn't fully bricked, for now, so, how can I change those file permissions through my PC or Linux?
I can enter the bootloader screen BTW.
I also tried AromaFM, but i get a signature error.
I've already wiped/factory reset and wiped cache.
Thanks for your time!

I thought the way you update / restore the stock firmware was by the update.app method? The update should be in an archive and once you unpack it should be a folder named : dload with the update.app in it. That whole folder should go on the root of the SD card so it should read /sdcard/dload. Unless it is a different y220...
Otherwise, you're kinda screwed because unless you have adb access when it is bootlooping (rare), there won't be much to do. You won't have adb in recovery either since it is still stock.
I guess it is the normal y220. The problem is that I can't get into the Software Upgrade Mode. Also, my other choice was AromaFM but i don't know how to stop it to verify the signature verification. If i could do that, i could have root acces to the files. Or maybe could install a POSSIBLE backup that i found online...
Well, when i am in recovery the device is detected on windows, but ot mounted...
Thank you
My point was, according to the info that I found, you don't update that one via the Software Update mode, you do it via the method I was talking about with the update.app in the dload folder on the SD card.

I had the same thing. It looks like Huawei bricks the phone on purpose. Not very customer friendly
Here's how to unbrick :
Download a Huawei stock firmware, for instance from
http://consumer.huawei.com/nl/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=77123&key4=Y360&key5=webisearch
This particular version is 2016-3-25 V100R001C577B113 847.34 MB
Unzip the file and copy dload/update.zip including the directory to the root of an sd card.
Then press Vol-UP and Power at the same time, and select install updates. Done.
i have an problem my huawei y360 is giving me problem its trying to load up and stop a went to the bootlog so am trying to custom rom it because i dont have any assess to the phone.
hello.
i have the same issue here with my y360.
after i did kingroot and restarted my phone after an update only the logo boot remained.
the fw update from sd card didnt work because the phone doesn't recognize the card, afterwards i tried to flash it with the sp flash tool (old and new versions) but it was either ''invalid scatter file'' or ''dram error something...'' ofcourse i tried different fw versions but nothing worked.
anybody has an idea what to do or i should throw it to the garbage? thanks
I have the same thing going on. Trying to fix y360 for my nephew. Keeps bootlooping. It's stock.
Tried to use SP Flash Tool, but it keeps nagging about a faulty scatter.txt file, even though I downloaded the newest firmware directly from Huawei (so it has to be the right one).
I then tried to do an ADB sideload, that's what I can access right now. adb sideload update.zip (from inside the manufacturer's .rar file).
adb push does not work because ADB is not recognised, because the phone won't turn on.
Goes ok until 53% and then crashes. Internal memory runs out?
From what I can find,I should push the dload folder to sdcard, but I can't, because I can't mount the external sdcard to transfer the folder to.
So, my only option seems to be to borrow someone's phone with a microSD slot to transfer the folder, then change the card to the y360? Or get an adapter SD->microSD, then transfer the folder? Neither of which are available to me right now. Is this for real?
Damn, I miss the fastboot flash system system.img command of the more advanced phones.
70% of the instructions about this model bricking are in Spanish, so it is kind of hard to figure out what to do.

try to flash stock rom
Hello!
Recently I've been trying to flash TWRP but without any success. Device is recognized when booted to system but not in fastboot mode.
Tried different drivers, none of them worked. Only thing that worked was flashing it in a school computer so I guess it's about my windows or something.
Nevertheless, after flashing twrp I had a system update which unrooted my phone and installed the stock recovery back.
Any suggestions what to do?
Hey all, hope everyone is having a great day (I'm not),
I own a SM-T510 Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 WiFi.
It all started when I tried to flash Nexus and it worked partially, but I didn't gain access to my internal storage for some reason, so I reverted back to stock rom.
Then for some reason part of the nexus rom was still there, but I was afraid of damaging my device further.
For some reason, netflix wasn't working, so I tried to apply a software update to my device using Smart Switch.
The update didn't work and I was caught in a Nexus bootloop. I entered download mode and I tried flashing twrp using odin. I thought it worked until I realised that it wouldn't get past the teamwin screen.
I re-entered download mode and there it gave me an option to factory reset the device while locking the bootloader. This is where I screwed up as I thought what else could possibly happen to my device?
SO I locked my bootloader and whatever I did I couldn't get out of download mode. AND here I screwed up even more. I tried to flash the stock ROM again using odin as a last resort but it just wouldn't complete after 10 minutes, so I closed Odin and restarted my device and here I am, stuck in a screen that says, "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." Now obviously this wouldn't work because my device isn't even listed there. But to note, my device is recognised by Odin and my PC.
Note: I am an absolute noobie at rooting so be easy on me.
Note 2: adb and fastboot doesn't work for me for some reason, my powershell says, "The term 'fastboot' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."
Thank you all for any help. I am at my wit's end.
Hi folks,
I've got a new A52 5G and wanted it to root. TWRP couldn't be used, because each and every possible solution failed. I even got stuck at boot with a message that the recovery couldn't get startet, even if I just restarted the phone without pressing the keys and without plugged USB cable.
Even flashing the original firmware was not possible. Then I tried to lock the bootloader again and flashing of the firmware was going on with odin. Puh... Then I used the Magisk method without TWRP to change die boot.img with magisk and load it in Odin. Success! I had now root on the phone. Yesterday I read about uninstall Magisk and install it afterwards on the B partition for updating the firmware over OTA. But accidentally I pressed the button below "uninstall" and it performed imediately. Now my phone is dead again... With unlocked Bootloader it is stuck in a bootload and I can start the Samsung recovery mode to wipe the cache for example. I wiped the phone completely, but it is still stucked in a bootloop.
Then I tried my first method: Just lock the Bootloader again (in the download mode) and then flash the new firmware with odin. But Odin either crashes or is giving me instantly the message "failed".
When I'm trying to start the phone (it happened also after locking the bootloader) i'm getting the download screen and the message with a big red !
"partition boot
Reason boot: Hash of data does not match digest in descriptor. [2nd] (3)
Calculated Hash of (boot) : 23B8CFD554, (VEMETA) : D23E59ACD6
CUSTOM boot
VBMETA A526BXXU1AUCA, 38851814R"
Now I unlocked the bootloader again, to access the recovery mode so I can turn it off. Otherwise its stuck in the damn bootloop. Can't flash and wipe doesn't help either.
Please help me somehow -.-
why did you u

why did you OTA update the rooted phone
it is clearly written that your phone might brick.
what happened to you is your boot.img file is replaced with the newer version try replacing with the boot.img file of previous version.
I didn't, because I get (as always, this is not my first rooted phone) the message, that the system has been changed. OTA is not working and I read that uninstall magisk, update the phone and BEFORE reboot install magisk again on partition B. But I accidentaly pressed the second option in magisk, complete uninstall or how its name is. Didn't expected, that its start instantly without a "Caution" message.
Uninstalling Magisk should not bring my phone into a bootloop anyway, even if I wipe the cache. Or am I wrong?

That is the problem how do I do that, when everything with odin stops imediately or odin crashes.
Does Odin give you any error messages? Are you patching all of the files for the firmware AP BL CP & CSC? Are you making sure to use the non home CSC? Have you tried using Samsung Smart Switch to recover your phone?
Smart Switch didn't recognize the phone. The only error on Odin was "succeed 0 / failed 1).
It worked with Windows 10 notebook and the USB C Port. However it didn't worked on Win 7 and regular USB Ports. Very strange. Well, but now I have the original firmware and again lots of bloatware. TWRP doesn't work, impossible to boot with it. How can I root the A52 with Magisk that way, to deactivate it - if needed - for firmware updates? The phone doesn't has A/B partition.
Same happened to me.
So, I have an A52 Indian version and want to flash the Canadian firmware. I downloaded different versions of the Canadian firmware and used Odin to flash. I followed the instructions on downloading the files, loading them into Odin,hit Start and it kept failing. It was giving an error message regarding a repartitioning error. Could this be due to having to tick "OEM Unlocking" in developer options which I hadn't done?
Hey, is your phone still stuck ?
