[Q] Softbricked/bootlooped Huawei Ascend Mate?!?! - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

i installed flashify onto my Huawei ascend mate 1, and install CWM. it asked to flash it, i pressed yes and it shutdown and won't boot normally, It's stuck on the logo mode.
if i press the power button for 10 seconds, it vibrates once before restarting normally and is stuck at the logo screen.
if i press volume - and power button simultaneously, same thing happens (note this is how i used to get into recovery mode before)
When i press the volume + and power button together after 10 seconds, it goes off and back on again Without the little vibration in the other cases, but gets stuck again
same thing happens when i hold down the 3 buttons all together.
i downloaded the stock rom from huawei's websit, put it into the dload folder and tried everything above 3 times. nothing happens.
i connect it to my computer for a chance to adb/fastboot, but in vain.
guys what can i do?

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I'm going to move your thread here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/ascend-mate where experts on your device can help you. You're probably going to have to flash the stock firmware on your device to get it working again.

This is the Mate 2 Forums. Totally different device. You probably didnt unlock your bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642403 Try there.

LG MS323 Stuck @ Logo

Hi experts,
I really don't know what happened to this phone. I left it on the charger (usb->pc) for couple hours and when I got back, only the LG Logo. I removed the battery and reboot the unit, it gets stuck at the LG Logo. So I google around for a fix. Found some.... but to no avail! Following is what I don't understand!
1. When I do factory reset, (volume down + power key), click YES and it says "Factory Reset Processing". This process takes forever. I went outside for like 30 minutes and when I got back, still at the same screen.
2. When I try to flash via bootloader (volume up + insert usb cable) it goes into fastboot mode then tells me to press the volume up button until I see the download mode. Well, this proces, like the above, I press the volume up key for like 20 to 30 minutes, nothing happens.
3. When I remove/insert battery, power up the unit, it gets stuck at the LG logo but the pc cannot recognize it.
What seems to be the problem here?
Thank you very much!
OMG, We have same problem ,I don't know what happen with that, Even I don't use couple months ,I try to do MP3 Player ,Can not be boot on.. I just want to try re-flash now if I can do this with my PC.

Since you can get into fastboot mode, you don't have to press volume up, from here you can just fastboot flash your phone using stock ROM or use my tool (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6vSHGXxJIWmVjRVMlRSQW9HWWs) that I wrote to flash it (easier for beginners).

Wow, okay, screw that. Just flash them normally

Never went past boot logo (EDIT: Hardware fault)

Turn on phone - boot logo shows up, stays there for a few second, then it reboots. It never went past it. So it never enters the fancy boot animation part
What I tried :
Tried to boot into TWRP so I can restore a backup, but now I suddenly couldn't enter TWRP, it's like it doesn't even exist suddenly
Flash all sorts of boot.img, no hope
Flashtool reflash a ftf, and nope. Still stuck at the boot logo
What did I do? Well I tried to undervolt further my kernel, bad idea. Though I didn't expect the effect to be this severe. ROM was stock MM (Yes I did tried to reflash back one of my older kernels, didn't do shyt)
The phone does show signs of life i.e LEDs, vibrate.
Oh and offline charging doesn't work too now, it just reboots as if I'm trying to boot it up
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated (cuz nothing I searched in the forum seemed to do any good for me yet)
EDIT: Brought it to the shop - said was the button flex cable (like what in the hell of all the other effing parts of the phone this thing can cause such a pain of a problem?!). Didn't got it replaced (effing 1 third the price of what I bought this phone, though they got it to boot again but I'm not rebooting it for I am not really sure if it'll enter another bootloop when I reboot..)
@AndyPhoenix9879 when phone is OFF could you try to press and hold "volume down" + "volume up" + "power" button for more than 30 seconds. do in exact order. Then try to start your phone again. If not start reflash stock firmware then try again. If still not start do procedure with 3 buttons again. Repeat several times, phone should boot properly.
I have same situation with my phone during one of testings and this was only way to repair phone.

Somehow de-attaching the flex cable for the buttons did the trick... I haven't did that key combination though, will keep that in mind next time Thanks

When this happened to you, were you able to boot into TWRP though? The problem came back T-T
EDIT : Deattached it again and reattached, working again rofl
Sometimes was possible to boot TWRP, sometimes not. I reinstall Android ROM and TWRP, root it again and since then no problem. Pressing of three buttons in order do factory reset of phone and it helps. In your case if reattaching of buttons helps maybe some of them are faulty and stick from time to time.
thank you u saved my phone

System is already working or TWRP? Doesn't matter what if you hold power button for 30 sec (something like that, don't remember good) phone must turn-off/turn-on/reboot.

P20 lite stuck on startup screen

Guys I need help ...this morning my phone restarted while charging and got stuck on huawei logo screen. i tried different combinations of Power + Volume up and down buttons but it didnt go to any other screen. then i installed hisuite on my PC and connected to my phone through USB cable, and holding volume down button i got to this screen which says FAST BOOT&RESCUE MODE and further reads "Phone Locked" "FRP Lock" in the end below Android logo.
i want to access my phone contents and get backup as I have important files to recover. Please I need some help with detailed step by step procedure to help me get through without damaging my phone or its content. I am hoping some nice techie can write me the steps needed to be taken considering I am a complete noob.
Try forcing your way into the recovery and clearing cache
Vol up + power without having it plugged in
Just keep it pressed for 1 min + if you have to until you see the recovery
When the phone vibrates and turns on let go of the power button so it won't cycle

hi buddy,
i tried but no luck
Any news? I got one in the same condition. When its in eRecovery and i try to update it shows "can't get update info(or something like that)", it doesn't have factory reset button available, it doesn't have wipe button available. When I put it in fastboot, it shows Phone "Locked" and "FRP Lock".
Wtf do I do with this brick?
Thank you in advance! ( Be aware guys! I was scammed with it on the internet - full box, like new, and it doesn't even get into android)

Hi,
have you tried Emergency Backup?
- Turn off your phone and connect it to your computer using USB cable. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power Button for 15 seconds, until the device restarts and enters the eRecovery mode. Select "Emergency backup" . Works on EMUI 9.1 only!
IMO theres no other way to save your data...

That sucks, I think I got exactly the same problem, have tried all kind of combinations. Only different appearing window is fastboot but that is totally useless as the device doesnt appear on Hisuite either. What happens when the batter totally drains ?

Phone does not turn off, and whatever button you press it just keeps showing Huawei start screen except for volume down and power button combination which opens fast boot window. Do you how to connect the device to laptop while in fastboot mode? We have tried fastboot commands on terminal but didnt get anywhere with file recovery...
so no solution?
U can do it, but u need dissasembly the phone, to make test point, if phone isn't hw damaged yes u can fix it in that way
hi may I ask if you have resolved the problem? Been experiencing the same problem when my huawei p20 lite got stuck on a startup logo screen
same problem with me, phone is stuck on start up logo, not moving anywhere despite using all the tricks, any solutions, anyone have?
Hi, I have same problem. Stuck on HUAWEI logo and power off do restart.
Phone is with last stock FW, FRP and BOOTL. locked. I tried update from SD card, but no succes. All buttons combinations not working except fastboot. But in fastboot, there is no possibility to do something due to locked btldr.
But I have one advantage, I have same phone model with same firmware working. Is there any possibility to recover bad piece?
*bump*
anyone who fixed this ?

Stuck on Logo? Can't shut off?

Noticed quite a few threads re this, have had the prob myself.
Found a simple fix, while trying different things...
Hold ALL buttons down at once (vol dn + vol up + pwr button). Keep them held down for about a min or two. Phone will respond and you'll be able to shut it off. It takes a while to respond.
Cheers
Thank you!
I've added this to the US998 Pie KDZ thread. That KDZ is very wonky. It's the only Pie people have problems flashing. Probably because LG has not yet released Open Market US998 and the one we are using is technically for U.S. Cellular US998.
I had no trouble flashing it myself -- on my backup V30+(former LS998) going straight from Nougat (never updated, it was my backup phone) to Pie through Dev Patched LGUP Refurbish mode. But lots of other people seem to have problems.
On my daily phone, I'm still on rooted stock Oreo with Magisk and Xposed mods.

Hi, @AsItLies, I have tried but my phone still keeps bootloop, so could you please describe it more detailed? Can you enter fastboot or rec then? If possible, please come to see this: Help! bootloop per 5 sec, cannot enter rec, download or fastboot

I think it's pretty clear, what I did and it worked in my situation(s):
There are 3 buttons right? Vol up, Vol dwn, and pwr.
Press all 3, at the same time, keep them pressed until the phone responds. It can take quite a while.
The last time I used this was after flashing LOS17, but then flashed a 19.x version of Magisk... (that's the wrong version of Magisk for Q Roms btw), resulting in phone stuck on boot logo, wouldn't budge.
I honestly have never tested exactly 'how long' it takes to respond, just that it does eventually respond and are then able to get to recovery etc. I can say time wise, if you hold them down and no response after a few minutes, then it's probably not going to work in your situation.
good luck

Oh, I'm just a little confused if you are talking about powering off/shutting down the phone entirely or instead changing the status of logo sticking and then shutting off with extra operation. My phone was suffering automatic reboot per 5 second, so I cannot recognize any other response than that. Thanks for your patience, but I just want to know something more to see if this method works when the phone is almost bricked. It seems you could enter rec or at least download mode, so maybe you had performed force reboot.
Hope further confirmation.

Hmmm I think you may be over thinking this a bit. All that happens (for me) is the phone responds (it gets out of the loop). Then, do whatever you want (shut down, recovery, etc etc).
I wouldn't suggest trying to reboot system again, as you already know that won't work...
All I can say is, if you tried the above and held the buttons, and nothing happened, then I don't know what else you can do. Sorry. Hopefully you can find a way.
Just in case someone is having problems entering download mode while in this bootloop, I'll explain how I applied AsltLies method:
First I held all buttons at the same time, no matter how many times the phone restarted, I still held them
After a while, a white screen with the MEID or IMEI info showed up, this is when the phone stopped bootlooping and I released the buttons.
Then, I CONNECTED the phone to the pc, after that I held VOL UP+POWER BUTTON, this would make the screen go black eventually, and when that happened, I inmediately released the power button but not the VOL UP button, and the phone entered into fully working download mode.
I hope this helps someone.
