Hello,
This is my first android tablet and i love it, but i have bricked it, i was messing around with it and i think i wiped it all, at this moment the device is stuck at the mediapad logo, fastboot mode is working but i can not get into recovery.
I have downloaded the two official stock roms mentioned in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...rom-official-huawei-mediapad-x1-b007-t2811863 but when i try to do
Code:
fastboot update update.zip
i get the below error:
Code:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt]
The zip file contain the dload folder and the update.app file, no .txt files in mention. Any solution to this ?
I have also tried to flash a cwm/twrp recovery (tried many variants) into the device but i can not boot into them (nothing happens, still stuck at the mediapad screen).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
At this moment i have only fastboot available, what can i do to unbrick the device ?
Thanks alot

Use the standard ROM flashing method by copying the update.app into dload folder onto an external sdcard and reboot your device. This ought to work. If it doesn't you've truly bricked your device by screwing up the bootloader.
The only other way if you've screwed up the bootloader is to perform a bootloader unlock using the tool on 4PDA.ru. Google Translate is rather spotty though.

Sdcard method is the default update method for Huawei. There is no need to mess with any 3-button combo or hardware.
It is the easiest update method I've seen among the major phone companies.
I will post link to the 4pda tool link later as I am at work now.

I have made a little progress i think, using your post https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3280093&st=840&p=70452069&#entry70452069 i have flashed the CWM recovery and i am able to boot into it (Chinese XD) and i am using the menu you translated to navigate around, i have put the stock zip that i downloaded and tried to flash the zip file but i got some erros that i did not understand (see attached screenshot)
I have noticed that when i plug the device now into the pc it shows the battery charging (something did not appear before). Also, the sdcard update method is not working (nothing happens, stays at the mediapad logo)
What should i do now ?

It says cannot open the file.
Just use the normal method of the dload folder.
You have taken a very complex route to solve a simple issue.

I have tried the dload method, i have extracted the contents of the zip file "dloadl/update.app" and put them in a 2GB memory, inserted the momeory inside the device and turned it on but nothing happens, it stays on the logo of "mediapad"

Then it is quite possible your download is corrupted. Try downloading again. And I think the recommendation was to use a 4Gb card.

Ok, will re download and try with a 4GB memory stick, what about the bootloader unlocker that you mentioned ? do we still need that ?

As far as I know, you downloaded the 501u version. Perhaps the last resort is to enable the CWM to allow ABD sideloading?
Or, you can try this "unlock bootloader" from 4PDA
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=564429&view=findpost&p=34341371
It seems you just need to run the exe file. You can try this since nothing else works for you.
Appreciate if you report on the success.

I will try the bootloader unlocker when i get home, i have tried 4 official roms for the 3G and 4G and i get this error
http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=adkBqYNLlttp9d8/5vW/a4h4l5k2TGxc
Can you tell me what does it say ? Also hoq can i re install the stock recovery of the device ? Maybe it will work ? I flashed it and installed wcm.
Update: i have downloaded the bootloader unlocker but its all in Chinese! any help is appreciated.
Update2: The bootloader is already unlocked, when i run
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
it says unlocked. however the device is not taking any rom that i try to install to it (errors in Chinese). i have extracted the system.img, boot.img and recovery.img from the update.app package, i will try to flash them into the device one by one with fastboot.
FIXED!
So for anyone who ran into the same problem, here is how i fixed it:
1. Downloaded the 7D-501u official stock ROM mentioned in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...rom-official-huawei-mediapad-x1-b007-t2811863
2. Used Huawei update.app extractor tool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2822142&d=1403960391
3. Flashed boot.img, recovery.img and system.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
Rebooted and it worked! the bootloader comes unlocked by default (at least for my model). Special thanks for joytest for his help.
Hello. I'm crazy. I deleted stock recovery original for my 7D-503L 4.2.2 (B008). The problem was install the stock recovery 4.4 kit Kat for error. I installed again the rom B008 and anything. Is impossible to find the stock recovery original and one CWM for my device. Somebody can I help me please? Somebody know where lies the stock recovery? I know is independently of the Rom.

1 .
I download a ROM «Huawei_MediaPad_X1_7D-501L_V100R001C170B001_Android_4.2_Russia».
I unzip ROM into root sdcard.
I use Huawei update.app extractor tool, and extract from ROM «boot» and «recovery» partitions.
I flashed a «boot» and «recovery» partitions via fastboot (from it ROM).
After, I use the standard ROM flashing method. The device start flashing, but after a few minutes the device reboot.
ROM not installed, the device not start.
2.
I download a ROM OTA_7D-503LV100R002C208B002.
I extracted this ROM, and flashed a BOOT.img, CACHE.img, CUST.img, RECOVERY.img, SYSTEM.img, USERDATA.img partitions via fastboot.
The device started, but after a few minuts my device reboot to black screen FASTBOOT.
What can i do to unbrick the device ?
P.S.: sorry for bad English
how can i make update.zip from update.app?
my device not flashing standard method.
I can flash it from recovery. I need update.zip
Please, help me
Hi,
I have bricked my Honor 5x after flashing custom recovery. This these the steps I followed:
1) Unlocked the bootloader
2) Flashed TWRP recovery
3) Flashed root
4) Tried to update OTA
Now the phone is stuck at boot screen. I can enter recovery by pressing volume down and power, but now is stock recovery. And I don't know what to do.
Can someone help me?
OK u can't OTA update with twrp AND U SHOULD try adb flashing twrp through fastboot and maybe restoring a nandroid if u have one if not there's some u can download around here
Hey, my phone is bricked too. How did you manage to flash adb during twrp. How did you restore the backup and where did you get it from?
Or could someone please explain to me how I can get back to stock. I saw one thread with the .app file, but there you had to go the setting or something, which I can't do.
I have twrp installed and I have the L21 version.
Ok, I figured it out. I took the backup and the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/unrooted-stock-rom-t3308902

I was able to get my phone back to stock using the update.app file and the Huawei Update Extractor
Download stock firmware and extract the update.app file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
Download Huawei Update Extractor
http://d-h.st/wwfQ
Use the Huawei Update Extractor to open the update.app file and extract system.img, Cust.img, boot.img, recovery.img
Copy the extracted files to your adb folder
Connect the phone to the PC in fastboot mode, to do this power off the phone hold Volume down and insert a usb cable connected to the PC
Type these commands on ADB:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
After that you should be back on stock firmware
I tried to do that too. But the problem was that my adb didn't recognize my phone. Of course I had everything installed.
When I unlocked the bootloader earlier, it worked. But there I had to enable USB debugging. When my phone was broke, I couldn't enable it. Maybe that's why?
However, my phone is working right now, so thanks anyway.
fixed

I have a practically dead honor 5x, flashed a L-24 firmware on L-22. TWRP doesnt let me do anything, no touch functions work so i cannot restore my back up.
Fastboot commands on format /data and flash cust cust.img fail with the error "Remote: Command not allowed", bootloader is unlocked, pls help.....I need to flash back the default cust.img to get it back to normal
SOLVED: Downloaded the official firmware, placed the "dload" folder which contains the update.app in the root of the sd card, went into download mode on phone (vol up + vol dow + power) and the system installed the firmware automatically.....booted back into the stock system now, next will reflash TWRP and restore back up

Hi, sorry for hijacking a thread but I thought it'd be better than making a new one.
I did pretty much the same as the OP, unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery, rooted and then stupidly tried to do an official update on the phone (I believe it was kiw-l21c432b140)
The phone is just now stuck at the boot screen, I can get into fastboot mode but cannot use ADB, says device isn't found no matter what I try. I also tried putting stock firmware on the SD card and going into download mode (EMUI) but it just says software install failed.. Any help appreciated, only got the phone today and have spent longer trying to fix it than I have using it..
Thanks!

As long as you are able to boot into fastboot you still have hope
Are you able to get into TWRP? (Power + Vol up) If yes, download the L-21 stock rom in the file repository thread and flash it. In all likelihood, that will solve any corruption of system files. If not, read on.
Did you check if you have installed the ADB drivers? I am assuming it should have been installed considering you flashed TWRP, but better to check and reinstall. Device not found is usually a driver error. Alternatively, you can install HiSync, it refreshes and replaces the drivers needed for Honor 5X. Further to installing that, try adb fastboot commands and flash the stock recovery using the steps in this post:

When I do power and vol up I get EMUI recovery, not TWRP I put the stock rom on the SD card and tried to install it and it just says "Software install failed" and the only option is to shut the phone down again.
I had all the ADB drivers installed, will reinstall it all and see if it helps. When I run adb now and use the "adb devices" command it just says "List of devices attached" and doesn't show anything..

Oh then you have stock recovery, are you using the update.app provided by Huawei? Or using any ROMs/images posted here? It is possible that you may have a corrupted download, look up the Huawei site for downloads in the support section for your region and download the official update.app, try with that

It wasn't stock recovery before, after the phone updated it went back to stock and wouldn't boot. I downloaded the firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684 and that's what I try to install through recovery and it says there's an error, a load of other texts flashes up before it says error but it's too quick to read. When I have better internet I'll re-download it in case it was corrupt. Thanks for your help, hopefully I can get it fixed as I only just got this to replace my old phone. Would be a shame to spend the money on it and have no use from the device.. Just wish the computer would detect through adb as I can get into fastboot easily enough.

Sure, we all help each other
BTW, just to be sure, you using the single "Update.app" file, that runs into a couple of gigs or the extracted one? You can't flash extracted Update.app through stock recovery.
HiSync (the official Huawei tool) also provides an option to recover the phone, tried that?

It's the single one, about 2.66GB I believe, I tried the recovering through the Huawei tool and it says "Your device is not supported for system recovery".

Oops! I am no techie, so am at the end of my wits, but thing I do suspect is a corrupted download, so if you can try downloading the file again from a stable connection and try is all I can think of. I've had this corrupted file thing quite a few times, so suggesting.
Problem already solved. Thanks!
Hi everyone, this is Sarry. I got my new huawei mate 9 pro on Wednesday this week, the version is LON-L29C636, I was trying to flash a custom ROM into the phone, but unfortunately I was too careless, flashed a different version ROM into it and cause immediate start up loop. As I finally boot into fastboot and twrp rec mode, I noticed that the computer won't recognize the USB portal of the device. So I went in eRecovery mode and tried to download an updated version but it failed to find any useful version.
Since mate 9 pro doesn't support SD card, I brought a USB-OTG cable and also usb type-c microSD adapter, when I connected the sd card to the phone, twrp reads the information, but when I tried to flash the update.zip file, it failed. I tried to copy the dload folder with update.app by twrp into phone storage, even if I got successful, the file just disappeared when i refresh the page. So now I don't have any idea on how to unbrick the phone, felt really bad.
Feel free to ask me any question or information needed, I really hope to unbrick the phone, I've been using huawei cellphone for more then 2 years and love it very much. Thanks for the help!!
Hello,
well the situation isn't that hard actually, you may just get the stock image and flash it from fastboot then start the custom rom installation from scratch.
what is the error number or statement?
EDIT: you will need huawei update extractor to pull out the img files and flash them through fastboot
Another Edit:
in the file path choose the update.app
you will need the following partitions:
Boot
System
Recovery
^select these then right click and press `extract selected` and flash them using the following commands:
1- fastboot devices > to check the device
2- fastboot flash boot boot.img
3- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4- fastboot flash system system.img
hope this helps you
good luck!

EDIT: you will need huawei update extractor to pull out the img files and flash them through fastboot
Another Edit:
in the file path choose the update.app
you will need the following partitions:
Boot
System
Recovery
^select these then right click and press `extract selected` and flash them using the following commands:
1- fastboot devices > to check the device
2- fastboot flash boot boot.img
3- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4- fastboot flash system system.img
hope this helps you
good luck!

Thank you so much for the help! The fastboot script isn't really working because when I tried to run it in cmd, it shows 'error can't find device', so I tried to flash the img files with twrp, the boot.img and recovery.img works well, but the system.img cannot be flashed, and the error message shows 'E:\cannot flash system.img'. I also tried to download the full version firmware and created dload folder in my SD card, copied UPDATE.APP into the folder, tried the 3 button force update, still nothing worked. Now the seller send me an Email said I can return the product, they are going to charge me for some ROM re installation fee.
However what error does it give during flashing system.IMG I would like to know, also as well as twrp custom ROM flashing?

well brother about the driver issue, sorry about being late, you must have downloaded the fastboot drivers and installed them.
MANUALLY INSTALLING FULL NOUGAT 7.11 FIRMWARE 2018/03/15(security_patch 2018-02-05) (RECOVERY, BOOT, SYSTEM) Even If Its Soft Bricked Because You Messed Up Somewhere. Files Here Are For Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL Z01HD WW Sku .
Its The Last Nougat Update Before Oreo Was Released.
MORE FIRWARES HERE
Story Time:
As I Remember It.....Condensed Version, This Was Over A Few Days Of Trial And Error, Mainly Because Adb SideLoad Refused To Flash Asus's Stock Firmware Zip Files.
I Messed Up My Friends Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom, ZE553KL.
He Bought Used, He Quickly Updated To Oreo From Within The Phones Update But Was Having Missed Texts And Slow Lte(4g) Speeds, He Wasnt Sure If It Happened On Nougat Which The Phone Was On Originally.
Downgraded To 6.01, Installed Twrp, Magisk, Still Having Same Issues, Flashing An Update Zip W/a Modded Updater Script Via Twrp Caused A Soft Bricked Phone, It Never Completed The Flash, Twrp Backup Didnt Work, Factory Reset A No Go, Couldn't Manually Flash Stock Rom As Adb Sideload Always Gave Errors, Fastboot System images Didnt Help For One Reason Or Another, Phone Was Just Bootlooping Back To The Unlocked Bootloader Menu.
Down Loaded Alot Of Stuff, Read Countless Pages, And Somehow Got The Right Firmware Files(recovery, boot, system img files) That Was Flashable Via Fastboot Extracted From A Zip, My Fix Is Below. These Are Not My Files But I Cant Remember Where I Got Them From As I Dl-ed Alot Of Stuff Trying To Get This Phone To A Running State. No I Havent Tried Oreo Yet, He Has His Phone Back Now And Not Sure When He'll Let Me Play With It Again, Lol.

fastboot flash system system-zoom-7.11.img
4.
wipes internal sdcard
Code:
fastboot format userdata
5.
Code:
fastboot reboot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you were successfull it will boot into 7.11, takes about 3-5 mins to boot.
IF DID NOT FLASH PROPERLY OR ODD BEHAVIOR AFTER REBOOT THEN REDO STEPS AGAIN....ELSE KEEP READING!

Thanks for the information...
I can provide you latest system,boot, recovery.img files if you want...
Do you know how to make raw firmware?? Because that could come handy for hard bricked phones.

What do u mean by raw. In what format is it in.
I've converted oreo stock firmware .dat files to .img files but I can't test them as I don't have the phone. My friend seems happy on nougat and I don't think he'll let me flash it on his phone.
I haven't tried dl-ing official stock and seeing if phone will see it as an update to manually self install via nougat recovery or maybe to try adb sideload again.

ciao
God bless you! You made my quite dead phone, live again!
Thank you
I can't update to Oreo via ota... do you know why?
the op here. lol, my friend dropped the phone and now its dead screen, no display/no touch but phone still works.
he doesnt want to get a screen for it as it will cost almost as much as he paid for it.......so its mine now.
been flashing stuff to it, gave it a very hard soft brick, still dealing with that.
my goal was to run it remotely but get adb/usb debugging enabled and get pc trusted by phone. i thought he wanted to sell it as is but decided to give to me to do whatever i want to it
got out of the hard soft brick, installed twrp, use twrp cli, twrp backups and restore, rooted w/magisk, installed 6.0.1 (fluked it), 7.11 using my method above with the extra erase commands, removed frp, got adb /usb debugging enabled and device adb authorized by hacking , got vysor, a remote control mirroring app running, all without a working screen.
i'll write up a tut for any1 else that needs help. fyi, weak screen if dropped even short distance, but he had no cover, but pretty to hard to brick it, imo, ymmv

Hello,
My realme x3 superzoom is fully bricked.
I got some luck, it is detected as qualcomm 9008
So basicall,if someone have the .mbn file and all the RAW Program and Patch files in .XML, it could greatly help me..
Anyway thanks for your help or even an advice.
Hello,
A little update.
Rn i can go in fastboot but still not in recovery
Im stuck pls help
Hello everyone,
Big update,
I finally made it...
Disclaimer :
I'm not responsible of anything happening to your phone, you are taking those steps at your own risk ...
So if like me you were having a hardbricked phone, follow those steps ( /!\ only if not possible to go to fastboot or bootloader mode, if possible go to next steps) :
- Install QFil ( search for tutorial to know how to set it up good)
- Download the original firmware file ( /!\ NOT THE OZIP BUT THE OFP)
- Extract the ofp file ( need the installation of ofp extractor and python 3)
- Put the phone in EDL mode ( if i remember correctly, you need to press all three button for like more than 20 sec)
- You will need qualcomm driver since your phone will be detected as a com port (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008).
- Once you did all those steps, start qfil ( do the firehose config before => select ufs in storage type ), select the
prog_firehose_ddr.elf of YOUR DEVICE in the build selection, then select the rawprogram.xml and the patch.xml
(there should be 5 file for each, select them all)
- Once you did this reboot your phone in EDL mode and as soon as you saw the port is dectected, select download.
- If u get a firehose error => not the good files
- If u get a sahara error then do all of this again but make sur to reboot your phone in EDL mode two
seconds before downloading in QFIL
- If it works => your phone is supposed to boot
If like me for an unknow reason it doesnt work then next steps (FASTBOOT).
For some reason it didnt work fully but it restored fastboot ( got some luck i guess)
So i was able to boot my phone in fastboot/bootloader mode
Once you are in fastboot mode :
- Download the original firmware file ( /!\ NOT THE OZIP BUT THE OFP)
- Extract it with the same method as described earlier.
- You should see a lot of .img, dont worry
- You will need vbmeta.img, recovery.img, boot.img, dtbo.img AND ALL THE super****.img
- Once you find those files, copy past them to a clean folder in order to not mess up.
- On the firmware i found, its a total of 14 super***.img and vbmeta.img, recovery.img, boot.img and dtbo.img.
- Once its in a clean folder, start a cmd and go to this folder ( cd diskname:\..\foldername )
For myself, i flashed the super file in the "order it was given" in the ProFile.xml
- Then you will have to flash all those files
- To flash the super : fastboot flash super super**.img
- To flash the recovery : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- To flash the boot : fastboot flash boot boot.img
- To flash dtbo : fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
- To flash vbmeta : fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Once you are finished flashing those files, your phone should be able to boot ( first go to recovery and wipe
all data in order to not have broken/corrupted files ).
If you have any question, feel free to ask ^^

Good evening!
I've got my device bricked and i follow your guide hoping to fix it, on qfil i got errors so I try with the fastboot method, but after installing all the .img i still can't boot the phone,
Something changed anyway, before I was only able to enter the fastboot mode, now after this if I turn on the phone normally it remains stuck on the first "realme" logo, and pressing - or + can I access fastboot mode or recovery, so things are getting better but still no boot on system, before follow your guide I wasn't even able to format or flash the partition system because it was telling me it wasn't existing, now it exists, but if I try to flash a stock firmware trough fastboot it telling me that there's not enough space on device... I'm a bit stuck too! What can I try?

I tried to do that, but it gave me an error when I was trying to erase system and cache, anyway I access fastbootd and I format from them successfully, anyway normal fastboot still can't format system partition.
After that I tried again your guide trough fastboot, re-flashed all files and it still doesn't work,
don't really know what to do, I found a stock firmware flashable trough fastboot and I tried also with that to see if it can solve the problems, but also that it fail, when I try to flash system I receive an error

If u cant enter fastboot, i'll suggest that u either find a way arounds with QFIL or else if not comfortable go to repair it somewhere
