Hello experts,
I've bought a Huawei u8860 today but when I try to switch on, it goes automatically ( without push any other buttons ) in recovery mode.
I've tried to wipe and format cache, but once rebooted it goes always in recovery mode. The phone is brand new, unboxed today from a box with security stickers.
I've tried to update software from sdcard with its original firmware but it fails with this error:
-- Install /sdcard/dload ...
update package's ext name error.
E: ota_pre_update error.
Installation aborted
I don't think it is a software problem, but an hardware error. Do you agree?
I need an advice from you: try to flash again o give back the smartphone to the store?
Thank you
Stefano

I think if you download the official firmware from huawei, then put the dload folder on an SD card, then flash it (hold the + - volume buttons and power button in until there comes a screen of installing firmware) then it should be ok.
if not, you can always look at this post

hope it helps!
I remember i had the same issue once.. i installed STOCK ICS .4.0.3 via dload method.. and than everything worked fine..
i guess it might be issue of faulty recovery.img file

Hi. Yesterday i had a problem installing a recovery from Cyanogenmod rom and i got the message of fast booting. I found a tutorial saying how to repair it and i followed it without any problem.
But now, when i boot the phone, y reach the "Android" bootanimation and it stays like that forever. What can be happening now? I had Cyanogen from Mik and flashed a stock froyo (now trying a stock gb, maybe that´s the problem)
Can i save the phone?
Greetings.
After flashing the stock GB, the phone remains the same, staying in the Android bootlogo for ever
Any idea?
You have to wipe data.
Via normal Android recovery? Because when i access to it it shutdowns :S
Yes, but after factory reset, phone should reboot.. For you it only shuts down?
Let´s see, i followed the tutorial and flashed a stock gingerbread (before a stock froyo).
Then, when i access the recovery , a little image with a box, a droid and a bar appears, but then it only reboots. There, when Android bootanimation shows, the phone stays like that for ever and i need to quit the battery.
Edit: I accesed the recovery, but i can´t push any option, only go up and down.
strange.. the bar need to load till end and then the phone reboots.
maybe you have to wait for longer at bootanimation? because the first boot takes longer.
if not, try to flash ROM again, with kdz.
Edit: the menu button doesn't work?
I flashed like 3 different roms and waited in one of them 7 hours to boot. When it access the recovery it appears a warning button and this:
Finding update package
Opening Update Package
Veryfing update package
E: Failed to read footer from /cache/ (is a directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation Aborted

No, in that recovery i can only go up and down, any other button works. If i push home, the recovery dissapear, but then if i push it again it appears again. That menu offers the option to wipe data but i can´t do it.
Are you able to wipe everything?
data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats.
No, that menu doesn´t work. I only can wipe cache and factory reset.
It appears the rom is well-flashed, but when it reaches the android logo it goes in a loop.
then wipe data and cache.
It resurrected! :O
I flashed a stock Movistar rom from America and it booted normally! Thank god
But i don´t understand why booted now and not later. Also, i couldn´t do anything it the recovery. Anyway, i can root it again because it´s a froyo.
Thank you.
Greetings!
yeah, it's strange that it didn't boot earlier with other ROMs.
anyway, congratz
GL
Yeah, it´s weird. I´m returning it back to Cyanogenmod 7+francokernel like it was before the brick. I know what made it: install ClockWorkMod Recovery, so i´ll stay with the old recovery i had.
Greetings!

well dude
if you would have just toggled the signature verification off
you would have no problem installing the ROM

Well I dont know how we turn off signature verification. I faced an idential issue using v10E firmware from this link. KDZ update was not able to find the phone in emergency mode. Second time I tried, it did flash the f/w fine.
I got the triangle with an exclamation mark and a droid below. Recovery menu (pressing HOME button) was useless as I could not select any option with any of the hard keys.
This is how I solved it - rebooted once to recovery mode(volumen DOWN + Home), and face a progress bar for a few seconds - rebooted automatically to the LG sign. This time phone booted fine!
Dear everybody,
I bricked my Sony Tablet S (SGPT113NL/S) after a failed update. Now I'm searching for a dump or a rom or something that I can recover my tablet.
Thanks,

Try the last update R5a for your region twice in a row and user adb /tmp/recovery.log and post it here. We will see what is happening
unblock your tablet s
use ota.url.finder v1.3a to find and download the update zip file (the region of the update file must match your tablet) from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671608
copy the update zip file into the sd card
insert the sd card into tablet
switch off the tablet
press the vol+ and power button to enter the recovery mode
choose the update zip file in sd card
flash it and then it will auto reboot
now the tablet is unblocked

bricked sgpt112us
I have a Sony Tablets S model sgpt112us and one day it was booting up when an error message appeared. (0x00030100), instructions online said to perform a factory reset to clear this error message, but after the factory reset was performed, the tablet now hangs on the Sony logo screen with that same error message. The tablet has not been rooted or have a custom rom, it is fully stock. I followed directions to go into recovery mode, but I am only able to navigate to the factory reset option and the update from SD card option, but I cannot use the power button to select either option. The tablet is not recognized by the computer at all and Sony service wants the tablet sent in for service because they think it might be a motherboard problem. I would appreciate any help before I spend $160 for service.
Hi there.
I tried to update a new ROM for my Lenovo A390. But sth was wrong with the phone I suppose. Firstly when I tried to start up with power button and vol+, firstly I got Android human logo with sth twisting next to its belly Then dead android humand with red exclamation mark showed up over. And nothing else happened.
When I was trying to flash custom room with Flash tool, the phone never answered to the 'call' from flash tool (after clicking 'Download' and connecting phone to PC - nothing happens ). So nothing could be done with Flash tool.
The next idea: I found some tips to use ADB and Fastboot. I had boot.img downloaded. It comes from 'A390_AllegroROM_v0.4a_SPFT'.
Then it went like this (in command prompt):
1.adb reboot-bootloader
2.fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. fastboot reboot.
answer for p.2 was OK, OK,
after p.3 as well
Now when try to switch phone on. It shows only lenovo logo and hangs up.
Is there a chance to get the phone working again?
After all this I discovered than when red ex. mark is being showed I can push power button and then I suppose recovery mode is shown?. But weird thing is I can not navigate through it. First option is set. It looks like:
Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
Reboot system now(selected)
Apply sdcard: update.zip
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache Partition
(and below)
No .zip file in sdcard
So next idea was looking for 'lenovo a390 stock rom update.zip' file . I managed find sth (Lenovo_A390_Miui_Update.zip -> I changed to update.zip). I put it in root of sdcard, thinking that phone need this update.zip to do sth . Indeed, after switching into recovery mode (power + vol+) recovery mode looked similar but instead of 'No .zip file in sdcard' there was a few lines more:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Veryfing update package...
E: signature verification failed
Factory update failed.
Any suggestions? Do you think there is a chance to get the phone recovered ?

Try this:
1. Open the back case of the phone;
2. There is one red button;
3. Keep pressed for 20 seconds;
4. After that power on the phone and tell me what is going on.

Hello,
I just received my brand new Samsung Galaxy A40 (SM-A405FN) and I wanted to root it / install Custom Rom before anything else.
So I downloaded TWRP 3.4.0 for my phone and tryed flashing it. But that did not work, I was stuck in download mode. So I decided to reflash original firmware. During the flash, Odin stuck itself at "Boot" operation during more than 15min, so I decided to reboot the phone to retry (what a big mistake...).
And now, I can't access Bootloader mode anymore, I only have a blue screen with "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use Emergency Recovery function in smart switch PC software".
I downloaded Smart Switch and tried the emergency recovery, but no devices appears in the list. Same thing with Kies...
I'm lost, please tell me I did not completely brick my brand new phone :crying: ...
Thank's for help and sorry for bad english...
EDIT: Ok, the phone is not dead ! I finally got the download mode back with the correct timing for key strokes!
Can someone tell me why I can't boot after flashing this TWRP: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxya40.html ?
I saw this post which tells to flash Kernel & VBMeta with the recovery but Odin can't flash .img files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a40/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a40-t4025587
solved?
Brick Problem solved yes, I still have not manage to install TWRP but at least I have been able to re-install stock firmware. Maybe I should do another thread for that problem
maybe you can try to enter the forum according to the device you are using.
