Hi,
I tried to follow the instructions to convert my device from Chinese rom to global.
I was struggling a bit, but eventually managed to get all the steps done without an error.
However, my device does not get booted to the OS at all.
I noticed everyone mention a boot loop but mine just switched off (so it seems).
So my first question is did I brick my device?
I can still boot recovery / bootloader., my boorloader is also unlocked.
What can i do to fix it?
Is it possible to go back to the Chinese rom?
Do I need to contact the mystery guy from instegram?
Thanks,
Bar1
If you still have Fastboot/recovery you are fine

I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so.
I am not sure what the phone had for firmware because I cant get it on. I only know that it had twrp 2.8.5.0 as recover not the usual android. I can access the phone internal and external through twrp and though pc and adb. I made sure to get drivers updated. I tried to flash the stock rom from its forum but it failed,. any info would be mush appreciated
DISCLAIMER: I'm completely new to Rooting devices.
My phone is an HTC One M9 running Marshmallow 6.0.1 on Telus.
I attempted to root my device recently to try and solve an unrelated issue that factory reset could not, which is no longer important.
I followed this guide and got all the way up to "Power off your device. Now, to boot into recovery mode.", which I can get into TWRP no problem. However, I cannot push "SuperSU" as it comes up as "device not found"(ADB drivers not installed? Though I got this far somehow). I thought this wasn't a big problem and I could install it later.
Now I'm stuck in infinite boot. The HTC logo shows up, and after a bit it changes and does the animation into the logo for the HTC One. Then it's stuck like this(bootloop?), the longest I've tried being 40 minutes. I can do a fake battery removal and then access the "download" bootloader, regular bootloader, and the recovery (TWRP) no problem still.
If I manage to get SuperSU installed will this solve my problem? Or are they separate issues? Can I flash another image to at least go back to "stock"?
I no longer have any idea what to do. Any and all help or suggestions are appreciated and I'll provide whatever information I can manage.
Further information: I have wiped the appropriate caches(dalvik included) as well as factory reset through TWRP in different instances. I've even downloaded the stock recovery image and wiped again. I simply fail to see what the issue is.
Edit: Managed to get SuperSU installed. I don't know what was different this time. Exactly how many times is it supposed to reboot on its own until it's done? Because it's been restarting for over 20 minutes now.
Hi all, I am stuck.
I got my Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L29) and wanted to install LinageOS 15. I followed the guide here, rooting and everything went fine. I installed LinageOS 15, the most current build then, via fastboot flash system systemXXX.img. The process went well, the phone rebooted. But since then its stuck in eRecovery Mode. It offered me the "factory wipe" option on the first time, since then I get the options of Rescue (which times out or can't find the files), Shutdown and reboot. It also shows a "this device is not to be trusted" splashscreen during boot, including a link that leads to a 404 on the EMUI-OS-Site. Sorry if that has been asked already i did not find much regarding eRecovery.
I managed to install TWRP, but strangely it still boots into eRecovery. I can force it to boot into TWRP, but it simply will not switch away from eRecovery.
So, what are my options?
1) wait and see, try new versions of LinageOS.
2) use the firmware finder to get the original firmware (any pointers about which one? I'd go for the earliest 8.0 for the BLA-L29?) But how can I get it to the phone since its not an image and the phone does not have a SD-Card? Can I mount it via USB?
3) Get rid of eRecovery or force a switch to TWRP - is that doable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a lot of custom firmware back when I had the first Desire, but since then I used Blackberry or other, non-rooted devices. I want my control over my OS back.
Thank you in advance, let me know if you need any more information.
Ok, if anyone else needs help:
This helped me, I got back to the Mate 10 Pro Stock ROM

Important: after flashing, you need to remove the USB-cable, otherwise it will just boot into recovery
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 all
First off I'm definitely a noob and it might be in the wrong place?
I'll start off by saying thanks for any support I my get.
Tryed to make a / i.e put in a TWR recovery
and got sent into a crash dump.
Now when I turn on the phone it stays in fast food Mode.
I've tried a multitude of tutorials to no avail.
The phone does have an unlocked bootloader done correctly, pretty sure. It's not rooted that was what I was trying to do. I'm running Ubuntu the latest version on a laptop and I'm seeking help to unbrick my poor new phone. I can perform tasks like getting log files and have even tried reflashing boot.images etc with success but not booting back into recovery where I could flash its oos, just end up in fast boot mode again.
I used bugjaeger at first with an OTG cable and another phone to flash custom recovery.
If somebody has a tutorial assuming that the partitions may be harshed on or needing something I'm unaware of or whatnot I'd be beyond appreciative...
Thank you for your time!
