Brick after update in Honor with TWRP? - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I think I just bricked my Honor.
My device is unlocked and has TWRP. After I rooted I received the update to B151, I downloaded it, the phone rebooted to TWRP, installed the update by itself and now it doesn't boot . It's stucked at the first Honor screen, I can shut it down but after that the phone boots up after 10secs. When I keep pressed any key the phone doesn't boot, but when I release them I tries to boot, being stucked at the Honor screen.
I tried putting it to charge, connecting it to the PC and rebooting to recovery via adb (I couldn't) and no signal of life. Is this a bootloop? A complete brick? Any ideas? Thanks for the help

it's normal
you can not install official updates with TWRP
install recovery stock for fastboot, do factory reset, if not boot
re-install the whole firmware b130 from DLOAD....

Hello
first thing don't panic. If you can get in TWRP it's easy to fix
hold volup+voldown+power to get back to TWRP
hook the phone to your PC and copy this stock recovery to your sdcard
Now in TWRP choose Install / Image choose the recovery.img the tick the recovery box / then swipe to flash. You now have stock recovery.
now download the update.zip here > https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636004244
and copy that file to a folder on your ext_sdcard called dload once its copied in TWRP choose
Reboot / Recovery. the update should flash upon entering recovery.
If it doesn't hold the volup+voldown+power again and let it reboot now it should flash and your phone will be fixed and updated to b151

There's the problem, at the moment I can't, when I keep pressed any button when the phone is off it won't boot, but when I release them the phone tries to boot up normally. Last night the phone ran out of battery, I put it to charge and gave me a signal of life. I'll try to access to TWRP when the phone ends it's charge

unplug the phone from the charger before trying the volup+voldown+power
sometimes I let it reboot once and then let go power and hold just the volume keys and it will go into recovery. other time just volume up + power takes you to recovery
the phone is pretty strange like that

Tried VolUp+VolDown+Power and didn't work, tried just VolUp+Power a neither. Mantained just VolUp+VolDown and now it looks like accessed to EMUI Recovery (The screen shows the EMUI logo and says "Huawei software installing. DO NOT unplug usb or press any key"). Not idea what to do now

Nothing happened. Rebooted and it's stuck again at the first Honor screen. I can still access to the EMUI download mode but I can't access to the TWRP (or at least I don't know how)
EDIT: adb recognizes that the phone it's connected when it's at the Honor screen but it's unauthorized

did you ever put the full update.app on your ext_sdcard ?
download the Full update from my file depot and put it in your ext_sdcard / dload
then boot to this download mode you call it

to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

[Q] Vibrant Bricked? Can't Find Solution [SOLVED]

So this phone has been sitting in my closet for over a month and want to try and find a way to get it back to working. I am pretty sure it happened flashing a euro ROM and it not recovering or I re-partitioned a 2.2 odin ROM (can't remember). I have tried every trick posted on this forum with no luck. Here is the way it boots the second I connect the USB to the phone and/or when trying to do the volume up/down and power button. I can access the phone view adb and tell it to reboot download, but just goes right back to recovery. I even tried pushing the update.zip but no luck as it can't mount e:/.....

Now I remember a link to a Youtube video that actually fixed the vibrant I have now and for the life of me can't find the link. He did something different that the other 10002831 videos showing how to access download mode.
Anybody have advice or is this one truly BRICKED??
This is what un-bricked my Vibrant.

Problem is it won't go into download mode.... the second the USB is plugged into the phone it boots into recovery.... I see the battery symbol for maybe a split second and it goes right into recovery; doesn't require any buttons to be pushed.
adb reboot download = reboots into recovery...
Have you tried reinstall packages and then trying to get into download mode?

I had a similar problem once. Here's what worked for me:
Take your battery out
Plug in USB cable
Hold both volume buttons
Put battery back in (while still holding the volume buttons)
I'm pretty sure that was it, but if not try fiddling with those steps a bit. The gist is that you should be holding the volume buttons when the battery goes in, which gets the phone into download mode right away.
Had a similar problem and that seemed to clear it up.

I have tried for a good five hours combined over a two day period and have come to the conclusion the buttons don't do much. The only thing I do know is the up and down are no reversed...
The only thing I don't get is some instructions say to hold the vol down, home, and power. I assume that is only for the EU versions as the home button on the vibrant is a soft key.

can't reinstall packages when the phone doesn't see the sdcard.....
I just wish I could find that youtube video as they guy had a special way to getting into download mode that was different than any other one on the internet.

Nada... just boots straight to recovery
The only way that i was able to get into download mode was to hold just volume down and power while the phone was off.
So pull battery.
Install battery.
Hold Volume down+Power button.
Then connect usb.
Or you can try to hold volume down+power button+plug in usb at the same time.
I tried every other way of getting into download mode but none worked.
Hope this some how helps you.
So, as long as the USB is plug in, the phone immediate enter recovery? Even when the phone was originally off, then the USB is plugged in later?

Yes, the second the USB is connected it goes straight to that screen in the OP. I don't have the opportunity to hold the vol up/down as it boots instantly (and holding them prior to connecting the USB ends in the same recovery screen)....
I have since bought a new Vibrant but would like to get this one working so it can be sold....
Well I actually FIXED this phone!!!! I followed the below instructions in the past but failed to read it completely...... You must following step 4 to the tee and not press the re-install packages until you are constantly forcing the push from ADB. Needless to say it pushed the update file and then I removed the battery and instantly got into download mode and flashed back to stock.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
First Part
1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.
The post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command
3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>
4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.
6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.
7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission
8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.
9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.
10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.
If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied..... not sure what you mean by that thx
Try taking out the sim card while entering download mode, that's what did it for me, and don't make any odd facial expressions and keep a good posture. Gremlins...
Is your phone Loki? Use Odin. You'll be Thor!

I read somewhere also that if you hold power button and volume up as well as volume down all at the same time for a few seconds when phone is frozen, it boots the phone like a pulling battery out reboot effect.

True, but there seems to be some kind of safety feature HTC built into the phone to prevent you from accidentally restarting your phone like that in say your pocket. The ambient light sensor is checked before the reboot will take place, hence the recommendation of rebooting with a light pointed at the sensor or at least in a brightly lit room.

thank you guys , this really works ...4 a moment i tought my phone is gone ...so keep up the good work :good::good::good:
I never knew that the phone checks the ambient light sensor before it reboots. I usually just hold the power and volume up button for about 10 seconds
Uh I just usually hold power until the back and home button starts blinking then it will stop to tell you the phone is off. I thought the guy who said the thing about ambient light was being sarcastic

and 9 times out of ten that will work, but for some reason, from recovery, or when old aroma would get stuck, it didn't, unless you held the phone under a bright light.

Confirm this is true!
I was stuck in the aroma when I was flashing the kernel. I tried for hours to shut it down (tried everything, like hold down for minutes, all combination of holding buttons, etc..) but nothing works. At last I found this post and followed the instructions...
Additional info: The Light sensor has to be stimulated for couple second (may due to some buffer on the sensor reading). The last time I succeeded when I pointed a LED light to the sensor for about 10 seconds and then hold down the power button.
Thanks gunnyman! (Say thanks with words and Thanks button! XD)
alternate method to holding down buttons
I had to find a way to restart the phone when it was in TWRP and frozen. This was caused by using an outdated version of TWRP and no combination of buttons or bright lights was working. If you have access to a computer and are comfortable using adb, this method worked for me.
1) Get and install the latest adb files. I use something called minimal adb and fastboot.
2) Connect your phone, open a command prompt in the directory where your adb is located
3) Type "adb devices" and your phone SHOULD show up
4) Type "adb reboot" or "adb reboot-bootloader" and the phone will reboot either normally or into the bootloader, whichever you prefer.
5) ?????
6) Profit.
thanks all, power and vol up and down worked like a charm

Hi there, am also stuck on frozen TWRP screen, all was well and good for a while but then my damn stock rom downloaded an android update over wifi between reboots (didnt notice) and applied it without asking and now TWRP is non-responsive to touch. Have tried following the above but for some reason now fastboot wont recognise the device, it just says device not found when i try the above (when booted into stock rom). Have tried booting into TWRP and pushing the recovery flash, at the moment its not working either (can get into and out of TWRP as described above). Is it pertinent that during the process i get "ADB server is out of date. Killing:*Daemon started successfully? I have updated android studio to latest but still get this message for some reason...Any help much appreciated. Just trying to get a working recovery so i can flash rom.

Maybe my question above is in the wrong thread? I can confirm that holding down both up and down volume buttons an then power does the same thing as taking the battery out in other models (restart).

Fastboot commands work in the bootloader / fastboot USB
adb commands work in TWRP / recovery
If you can get to the bootloader fastboot USB reflash TWRP or relock the bootloader and flash the same version firmware you have now again
and then flash TWRP
Hi cIsA, thanks for your reply and for distinguishing that after replacing the recovery with TWRP only adb commands will work. Havent had this problems with other phones I have modded. When you say get to the bootloader, one does that by holding down volume down and power no? That takes me to TWRP. I thought recovery and bootloader were the same. So this mean i cant run fastboot commands after installing TWRP? I have re-posted my question in the TWRP thread for this device as I think I may be off topic given the thread title.

Try this.
1. Open up Odin in your PC, make sure you got the USB drivers installed too.
2. Connect your phone with the cable.
3. Hold Vol Down + Power, to cold reboot.
4. As soon as it reboots, QUICKLU HOLD Vol Down + Bixby + Power button.
I've locked myself on the Kernel issue when changing CSC, and found out that this was the only way i could get in to Download Mode. It wont go inside if the cable is not connected to the PC and Odin isn't up.
It can be tricky to find that perfect moment for pressing the buttons, so dont give up easily.
If you notice no luck, Repeat the same process, but make the cable ready but dont connect it, cold-reboot and as soon as it reboots, connect the cable and do the download mode button layout.

Any help out there
Can't you just flash official rom from the screen you show in the first post? It doesn't necessarily need to boot into proper download mode to flash official rom. I mean your phone cannot boot into download mode, so just try to flash the rom from the screen.
hello everyone, i have a technical question. is it possible to root lineage 18.1 (android 11) only by operating on a working system ?? (something like kingoroot) ... after gaining root, you can access the partition and load recovery again ....
I am probably the first victim of uploading this fake software, after analyzing the rom on the telegram (exynos 9810), wise heads said that after uploading the software, the lack of recovery and the download mode is a deliberate action of the perpetrator. so I think root can help, I remember that I performed a similar operation when I could not connect the tablet galaxy tab 2 to the pc, then root and upload the recovery from a working android ....

This recovery is carried from Coolapk user named 残芯。
More features can be seen there.
Please use fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img instead of fastboot boot !!!!
Temporary boot is not supported is this device.
The link does not lead to anything useful but I was able to do my own googling using the username you provided and I did find some weibo page of a guy claiming to be a unofficial twrp creator for multiple phones. I dont speak chinese but google translate gave me enough info.
I also found a page by the same user with screenshots showing a legion pro 2
Sina Visitor System
So this might be a legit twrp after all but I will let a braver soul try it out first.

In fact,the weibo link that you provide leads to a download-able zip file with a password.But,you must pay money to get the password.
I bought it.BUT I leak this file withont the writher's agreement.
That is why I created a all new account to post.

Ok. so i did
fastboot flash boot xxx.img
as it was written (probably, i used a translator) in the original post. It was successful but my phone wouldn't boot (no matter whether it was fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot reboot, the logo flashed and the phone went back to bootloader) so i later downloaded the ROM it had before, version 12.5.062 ST and extracted the boot.img from it, did fastboot flash boot boot.img and the whole thing booted up as it would normally and is fully functioning including wifi and fingerprint. i have the 18/512GB version so i guess it should be the Lenovo Legion 2 Pro
In the weibo post the guy suggested to quote "Use the (Stump or Residual) tool to brush into the boot section, and use the method to skip to twrp"
but i don't know what those thing mean
Any help would be appreciated as i want to maybe change the rom to cn and root it
Did you boot into TWRP? You have to hold the volume down button and then power on the device. When the bootloader menu prompts, tap volume down or up and select recovery and see if it boots into TWRP. Also, I believe you can flash it to recovery instead of boot - try and post results.

There is no recovery partition and i could power it off only after unplugging the side usb port, if not, the logo would blink and the phone would go back to fastboot mode after selecting START / POWER OFF / REBOOT RECOVERY / REBOOT BOOTLOADER (all available options). After that i could not get it into anything other than bootloader or power off state. The post says to jump to twrp after flashing boot.img but as i said the phone didn't boot up to anything other than the bootloader, even after using a ton of key combinations. From fastboot mode it won't boot to recovery as there is no place for one, after flashing stock boot.img and using adb reboot recovery it shows the usual No command sleeping robot. Holding Volume Up or Down and Power keys didn't bring the usual options.
Maybe the secure boot prevents from booting anything other than bootloader after flashing non compatible boot.img
so i succefully rooted the phone by just flashing patched boot.img but while tinkering in fastboot, i switched the active slot from a to b and now my phone is stuck in EDL mode and i have no idea which firmware is compatible as i already tried flashing the cn, row and ee roms via QFIL and nothing worked.
Uh oh, do you know if it is a Duel 2 or Pro 2? Try the .188 firmware from lolinet and then flash it through QFIL with the instructions by Shadow27Jirka ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-how-to-solve-frimware-problem.4286635/ )
Open QFIL
Select Meta Build
Select Programmer path as "prog_firehose_ddr.elf" from extracted ROM files
Load Content.xml from ROM files ("contents.xml")
Press Download
Switch phone to Download mode (press and hold all volume and power buttons for a while and the plug a cable to side USB port)
Download will start automatically and it´ll flash whole OS
If step 5 will not be enabled, use step 6 and press Download right after phone is detected by QFIL
It's Lenovo Legion 2 Pro. China Aliexpress version with global ROM flashed. I tried the .188 You mentioned but it returned the same result as before, when my phone was working and I was trying to change the ROM back to CN.

Try powering down the device fully by holding the power key for 30 seconds or both the volume up and power key for 30 seconds. When you plug it in, hold both volume keys and the power button and click download right away. Since you have the AliExpress version use .188 with QFIL. Make sure you have your com port selected.

Tried to power it off while having the usb cable connected to the side port, after around 15-16 seconds of holding POWER / POWER + VOLUME the COM port in Qfil blinks and is again displayed as QDLoader 9008. Then I tried with the phone unplugged and the results were the same. After that I just tried to get Partition Manager working but to no avail, the same as with normal .188 flash.
Nothing works. I tried different Qfil configurations and multiple CN Roms but this POS just won't budge. Damned Sahara error drives me crazy.
What version of QPST are you using? Have you used QFIL before? You may be missing libraries. Have you tried full power down and then hold both volume keys and power button followed by plugging it in (official way to flash)?
I was using the latest Qfilfrom the latest QPST package, don't remember the exact version, then Qfil 2.0.1.0 because it was used in the Z6 Pro guide and was mentioned on the CN forum. There was even a nice gif showing everything step-by-step. Done exactly that but the outcome was the same- Sahara error. Tomorrow I'm gonna try reinstall everything and do it once again and if it doesn't help, switch to linux and Windows 7.
I'm a nobb in those things and need to read more, but it can be that I unlocked the slot a bootloader, and then switched to slot b with it locked, so the bl may be preventing qfil from flashing

Boot loop - Can't power off, no recovery, won't boot

Hello,
I've got a Realme 7. Tried to update a ROM, something happened, lost recovery, not it's boot looping.
I understand what I need to do - Reflash stock rom and recovery.
However, I can't get my phone to power off, I can't get the USB filters installed, I can't do anything...
Holding power does nothing, holding vol + and power does nothing...It just keeps looping back to the realme logo.
I assume, if I can get it powered off, I can then hold volume up and down to get libusb to recognize it and then go from there. However, I'm at a loss...
Thanks.

Open the USB filters wizard, and pay attention when the device is trying to boot, you could install it, see which item is added. To completely power off the device, you just have to press the three buttons simultaneously.
Yeah, can't get it to the point where

In the short time it is going to blank screen it is power off, then immediately it is trying to boot, I faced the same a lot of times. A variant, pressing vol up + PWR also device gets off, when device is trying to boot, tap on the item newly added and install it, open firstly the libUSB wizard and keep it open, and visible to you.
Yeah, I can't get it. Doesn't seem to detect that the phone is connected to my computer at all. Nothing shows up in the USB filters...Doesn't seem to matter when I press volume up and down throughout the process...
Can't seem to do anything. Just looping...Ugh - I guess I'm out of luck?

Install all the previous drivers needed.
Also you have this tool to flash recovery and see from there https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
To get it work you don´t need the LibUSB32, you have to find the short time device is trying to reboot to press the volume buttons to connect to the tool.

I assume that once I get it loaded up in MTK Client I can just flash recovery.img from the stock rom?
Or do I need to flash something else completely?

No, it's not dead, I had bricked my device even in a state of no signal of life at all, but I have completely working now, just I lost IMEI cause a bad flashing and back up gone.
You should start by flashing only the stock recovery, so you can try to flash an ozip from there, be sure your device has some charge now and check all the drivers you have installed.
Open device manager in Windows, and connect your PC while you are pressing buttons and so, and check how it is listed there.
This is preloader mode:

hold volume + and power button for while, as soon as the screen turns off leave the button. your phone will successfully turn off. and to solve the problem. you need to download the official firmware which have scatter file and Remember to backup your NV data OR any NV RAM before flashing or you will loose IMEI number because of which many people are facing IMEI problem including me.. So after backup Flash the firmware with format all or re-partition and will successfully boot up. remember to restore NV DATA/NV RAM. you can use unlock tool to flash the firmware.
Same problem here... I change my Chinese GT2 Pro to Global, everythings fine, but when I tried to lock the bootloader a message apears saying the flash was broken or something and now it keeps flashing the "realme Powered by android" for 0,5 a sec and rebooting again and again and again... can't do absolute nothing...

hey, tazz, have you solved the problem yet? i'm currently on the same predicament as you are, just on a C12 instead of a 7.

Recover from what? There are many users including me that recovered the 99% of its functionalities. If you are referring to the IMEI, then, yes, and not, it´s not possible by any tools that available for end users, but it can be done through specialized hardware tools.

Recover that:
Bash:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot.exe flash recovery corrupted_recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash vbmeta corrupted_vbmeta.img
fastboot.exe boot corrupted_recovery.img
After this, the phone is on boot looping, and because the looping, the usb is reconfiguring all the time (I was unable to get time enough to connect using adb or fastboot)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the physical buttons does not respond after this procedure. I'm unable to use power; power+down; power+up...

Just search in the forum, there is not a guide all-in-one, but everything you need is here.
From unlock the bootloader, either officially or unofficially, using mtk-client, updating the drivers through Lib-USB, device filter, flashing every partition using the same tool or SP Flash tool.
Just a side note, Physical button don´t have to do with software issues, device not entering to a specific mode, is not because physical buttons are supposedly, not responding, but this stage is missing or unavailable. There are many posts and guides about unbricking this device, just search thoroughly through the forum.
