Hello,
So I tried to flash a global rom into my chinese GT 2 pro which didn't actually work, and in the process of fixing this and having to go to work etc the phone battery died and now that I have all the resources to "unbrick" the phone I can't flash anything because of the low battery and I can't charge the phone because it won't even load the recovery mode. I am trying the .bat file that I found in this forum where it charges rebooting the fastboot mode but it's charging 2mv every 3.5 minutes and if my maths are correct, this would take me 2 months to charge to 30% in order to flash anything which obviously is not viable . And I've seen suggestions about splitting a cable and charging the battery with the wires directly but I can't find any information on how to actually do this. Would this work at all? Or is there anything I can do? Please give me some hope! Thank you all in advance
boot into TWRP from fastboot and let it charge
I have tried this but still not working. It's says OKAY after "sending boot" but nothing happens, just a black screen. Although I'm not completely sure that I'm doing this right or even using the right image. Would you be able to guide me with this a bit further please?
try this to disable start-up on usb
Code:
fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1
fastboot oem enable-charger-screen
Thank you, I will try this tomorrow and update either way in case it helps someone else (because hopefully it does work! )
Hello all, so those codes didn't work. I got a guy to try and unbrick it who in the attempt to do so he actually hard bricked it I had given up at this point but he didn't. He wanted to try a test point which involves opening the back of the phone, which actually worked! (Apparently we tried to flash the wrong ofp) anyway, in the process of opening the back case I damaged the power flex (and the actual back case too, but I wasn't too worried about that as I thought I had no phone anyway).... I would attempt to replace both but I can't find where to buy replacements. If I try to google it everything I find is for realme gt neo. Any ideas where I can find a new power flex and back cover? Thank you!

i was trying to root a phone for someone and after odin completed it said it had failed.
the phone is a telus samsung t959d running froyo.
I followed the instructions from (I would post the url for the link but i am not allowed to.)cyanogenmod's wiki, after it failed I rebooted the phone and it got stuck on the screen in the attached pic. I have tried to boot back into download mode to no avail. From the screen it's stuck on I cannot get any tool to register the device as being present, adb, heimdall, zdiag, etc... I even tried fastboot out of desperation.Before I used odin I tried to get the phone to boot into the bootloader but it only ever went to either recovery or a normal boot and I tried every button press combo I could think of and found and nada.
Even running adb reboot bootloader just made the device boot normally. I think that if I could get it to boot to fastboot usb i could then try fastboot. I am new to rooting devices and have successfully rooted my HTC EVO3D and got s-off and simlock removed for any carrier. So I do know how to follow instructions properly, why flashing the recovery.bin failed I don't know and every fix I seem to find says BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE. if I could do that I wouldn't be having this problem lol. Anyway can someone please help me figure this out. Thanks. ANd if you need any further info please let me know. I don't want to have to give my friend my phone due to a software issue.
And YES I did pick PDA not anything else.

I kept reading other threads and sadly I din't pully the battery first before disconnecting the usb and repartition may have been checked as I see that it does the as default for my version. Also i turned off ODIN as I was hoping a reboot of my computer might help. I will keep trying to find an answer till someone gets back to me. this post may not even show up if I can't do a second post if no one has replied first.
Everyone was a nub at one time wasn't it FUN hahahahahaha sob cry

I tried a jig and that didn't work. There must be some way of getting the device to give up on completing a task i no longer can give it due to ODIN being shut off.
Why is it that the "how to root/unlocks" never have the "if x fails then do these steps etc..." Had the how to had "pull the battery before disconnecting USB and don't reset or shut off ODIN" I wouldn't be in this mess. I realize that it's user beware but a few important steps like that in case of a fail would go a long way to you guys not shaking your heads. Instead of "silly nub hahahahahaha". No offence but I get that a lot and try to remember that when I teach someone how to use a computer. I am new at phones not at everything.
Further Developments Please can someone help?
I was giving someone a new memory card and they had a Samsung SGH-I896 it has an EB575152VA battery and the one I have the T959D has an EB575152VU battery. I exchanged my battery for hers by accident somehow and when I plugged my phone in it didn't go to the phone triangle computer logo screen it booted to recovery and said it couldn't charge the battery and kept rebooting to recovery. I got my battery back and it booted back to the phone triangle computer logo again. Grrrr....
The other thing I saw while the recovery screen was an error message that said
Code:
E:/data/fota not accessible
(may not be 100% accurate I don't have the battery to check right now but can get it again if need be) anyway I now see that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. i have the correct stock firmware for the device I tried flashing it while in recovery but the phone kept rebooting before anything got done. My question is how can I get the dang phone to stop asking for Odin and go to recovery so I can flash stock firmware and ROM back to it? As I cannot as far as I know give it what it wants because I reset Odin and nothing seems to see that the phone is connected to the computer. I am going to try the other battery on a full charge to see what that does.
I am new at all this and want to get it fixed. I cannot afford to send it off to a service center and besides that I want to do it myself as I want to become a developer and droid technician. I would gladly donate to anyone but am still trying to get Google to accept my pay-as-you-go credit card and I don't have PayPal either. Which is really frustrating when it comes to giving back. I posted a Q&A on how to without PayPal or CC but as of the last time I checked no one has gotten back to me about it.
The CyanogenMod guide is flat out WRONG. I've tried to change it, but anything I do is reverted in an instant. I also tried to use it to install the ROM only, ended up bricking my phone and it took me hours to unbrick. That's how I became acquainted with XDA.
So, to get this straight:
1. you're using the stock USB cable
2. you remove the battery
3. you hold volume down
4. you plug in the usb cable
5. after a few seconds, you release volume down
6. the screen does not display a yellow triangle with an android

That is correct. If you think that my idea below is a bad one or if I downloaded the wrong firmware package please let me know and /or you have a fix that will work? ty
I have though come up with an idea that may work. I am going to charge the "wrong" battery in erm the right phone lol and then use it to trick the device into booting into recovery instead of the cellphone triangle computer (CTC, for want of a better acronym) The I896 battery ends in a V not an ? (sorry can't rem don't have it on me) from the I896 model I think it is, plugging it into USB with the power off sends it to recovery with the "battery cannot be charged " message instead of the CTC screen.
I tried it but the charge in the battery was too low and rebooted. I am hoping that with a full charge (as long as I don't power on the phone first as this will make it go to CTC logo again.
I am hoping that I can install the update.zip that I made by first unzipping the T959UVJFD_firmware.tar I downloaded then unpacked and then repacked into an update.zip as I don't think that it will read the package as a tar file and if it's not called update.zip The recovery is still stock. If I get the phone working I am not going to try unlocking and rooting it again. I will just post two separate adverts one as a carrier locked device and the other one (higher of course to cover buying the unlock from Telus) as carrier unlocked and then I will buy the unlock code if the blah blah you get the drift. sorry for rambling on.
oh and I can't rem if I said this or not, In recovery it "E:/data/fota not accessible" I don't know what that means yet I have been busy with other things and haven't looked it up yet.
Since you can get into at least some version of recovery, your bootloader is intact and you should be able to unbrick it. You ought to be able to get into download mode using a download jig. You can get one on ebay for a few bucks or you can make one yourself. There's a guide floating around here somewhere that lets you make one from a microusb cable.

Hi, I've been browsing the forums for people's attempts to fix a problem. At first the phone just turned off and I was unable to turn it on because it was stuck in a boot loop. The rom I had running was an ICS stock rom from hk. During this time i was still able to get into download mode but unable to enter recovery. I have tried many times to get to recovery and then tried to flash with several stock roms too. Upon failing around 10 times I moved on to a custom rom.
This one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701
The Jelly bean one here.
Upon failing from this too and unable to do anything but reset the phone and try again. I managed to turn it off... but now unable to turn it on in any way or get into download mode or recovery.
Is there anything I can try to do to get the phone to be working? What can I do?
Try a jig but understand it's very unlikely to get you into download mode. Service centre or local mobile repair shop for diagnosis (I also doubt it will be JTAG'able).
Edit - Also, search for KingRat's 'jump start' method where you try & boot the phone with just the charger/without the battery.

Don't loose hope mate...
Try remove battery and insert charger (optional)...
Press voldown+home+power button then let someone (your mother, father, brother, sister, neighbor or friends) insert the battery for you while still pressing those 3 keys...
I hope it will enter to download mode again...and report back please...
Try to use an other battery, my original one is fuked up, it does nothing.
I bought a new one and it works
I tried plugging my charger to the phone and pressing the 3 buttons and then having someone plug the battery in for me, still wouldn't start up. Also tried it with another battery i have on hand, also no luck.
You know what the options are then. Ignore people making ridiculous suggestions which don't work. My aim is to be honest with people, tell them the truth, and have them either get their phones fixed or replaced as quickly as possible in this situation (let's face it, nobody likes to be without a phone), rather than fill them with false hope & waste their time.
I think I fried my mobo while trying to flash it cause it does head up the phone without showing anything. I am going to order parts on ebay. I got this confirmed by someone at a shop near where I live, however they won't replace the mobo for me even if i do find a working one.
=) luckily this isn't my phone but my dad's who works at home and doesn't mind using an OLD OLD flip phone just for calls for the time being.
Side question, even if i replace the mobo and I get it booted but I still get stuck in the boot screen loop and unable to flash to any stock roms what can I do?
If you replace the motherboard you should fix it without further problems. New motherboard = new NAND, no more bootloop - unless you flash again & the flash is bad; you can't mitigate the risk of a bad flash, you can only do all the sensible things like making sure you're using a PC with reliable USB ports, that you're flashing the correct firmware for your device, that you're using an original Samsung USB cable. Basically, if you're careful, the risk with any given flash is very low.
So, fix the hardware problem, flash stock for your country/carrier once you've done that, and go from there.
Hi,
So as you've seen my phone is bricked, I can't reboot it by ANY way, it just vibrate when I try PWR + VOL+/-.
I looked a bit everywhere, and I find this -> http://www.droidgyan.com/soft-brick-vs-hard-bricked-vs-broken/#
But I need to know :
-Anyone has ever tried this ?
-is it a good solution ?
-is-there any better or easier way to get my phone back to life ?
And I repeat, I tried everything I found on others threads, every combination of buttons, nothing worked. So if you know a way like this, be sure it's not on every soft/hard brick forums, I've done them all ;p
And sorry for my english, I just hope everything is understandable.
Same here Have you find one solution ?
From experience with other devices that looks logical, I wouldn't like to be the first to try it though!! Might be worth trying insurance or taking it back to the shop you bought it from to see if you can get it swapped using the playing dumb card (I turned my phone on today and it just had a blank screen) that worked for mine when it was pre loader busted like this!
Hi!
I'm in the same situation.... i've got an Honor 7 (PK-AL10), i tryed to recover it but when i do fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img the system replies with "error: cannot load 'SYSTEM.img': Value too large for defined data type".
Help me!!
Have anyone tried to connect the phone to a windows PC, and Power+lower volume?
Also you may try with the phone plugged to USB, Power until the phone vibes for booting, wait 5 seconds and then Power again. And then try to boot the fastboot USB connected.
I don´t know but I´ve read in 2~3 places that powering the phone while USB connected sometimes enables booting in dead-phone situations.
First off, I appreciate any input on this very much.
The phone is an LG K8 2017, or model US215, and this is actually the second time this has happened on a second device. Both times this has occurred, it's been during charging.
The first time, on the first device, the device was off when I took it off the charger, and would not power on until I removed and replaced the battery. Later that day, the device seemed to be lagging, so I rebooted it, and was taken to the fastboot screen. I Googled and Googled, and corresponded with LG before taking the phone back to the retailer and exchanging for another, as I'd only had it a few days.
Now, with the second device, which I've been using for several weeks, there were a couple of times that the phone was off after charging, and the battery had to be removed/replaced to start it. This time, the phone was (maybe for the third time) off when I removed it from the charger. Fearing the same issue, I removed/replaced the battery, and unfortunately, was met with the fastboot screen. LG will repair it under warranty, but I don't have a backup, and can't go weeks without a phone. I've searched high and low, and cannot seem to come up with an answer, or find a situation identical to mine.
I've tried fastboot reboot with ADB, but it requires USB debugging to be enabled on the device, which mine was not, and I'm not able to access it now. The phone was completely stock. Hard-reset does not work, as it always boots back to the fastboot screen. I am, however, still able to access this screen, and download mode. I've tried to include as much info as possible, but am eagerly awaiting responses, so I can answer any questions. Again, thank you to anyone with input!

Thank you for the response! I see the link for the firmware, but I'm not sure what guide you're referring to?
[EDIT] I think I found it. Will update after I follow the guide.
Unfortunately, LG Mobile Support Tool just tells me, "The phone is disconnected from the PC." Even in download mode.
The only time the PC seems to recognize that the device is there is when it's on the fastboot screen, however, LG Mobile Support Tool still gives me the same error.

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.

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

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.
