Hello guys, I am new here to XDA Developers, so here's my take on my phone's problem..
Long story short, I wanted to root my phone so I could enable the OTG option for my phone cuz I tend to get my storage filled up and use a USB to transfer files. So, I did root my phone, got its bootloader unlocked and successfully done the operation. I used the kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img via ADB and Fastboot tool for this.
But when I used ADB and Fastboot to flash the boot-kiwi-marshmallow-otg,img file and restart it afterwards, the phone will go straight to eRecovery mode. Here I cannot download the recovery it wants because it always show download info fail of some sort and that I cannot debug the phone either. I do can get it to Fastboot mode but my computer won't detect it.. So my phone is basically a stone now. What should I do now? It is my first time so I don't wanna get busted, any help will be appreciated! Thanks!
For reference: I was using this this thread for OTG enabling feature:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/tutorial-enable-otg-honor-5x-t3322274
And for rooting process, I just watched this video:

Solutions:
1. Boot into recovery (Power + VolUp) and restore last backup (I really do hope you have a backup). It should be enough to restore just boot image. Mine ended in eRecovery few days ago after messing with Magisk and I've successfully recovered my device from there
2. Download original firmware, extract it, boot into fastboot (obv., try fixing it first, but you've flashed TWRP so it must work for other stuff, too) and just reflash original boot image
3. Download original firmware, extract it, boot into fastboot and reflash original recovery, then try eRecovery (this will probably wipe all your data, though)
There are tons of manuals how to extract Huawei/Honor firmware images (even a nice little program to do it for you), so I'd suggest searching around for that SW instead of asking how.

what recovery do you have now?? can you access twrp? or you are left with emui recovery??
if you have emui recovery, just perform a dload flash

Hi guys. I got the Tmobile LG G2 and it was running on Android 4.4.2 LG G2 D80110c. Then I changed the dpi by editing the build.prop via root explorer up but when the device reboots, it shows system force close and I basically cannot do anything. I realized that my TWRP recovery hadn't installed successfully and also I think download mode is not working. Computer recognizes the device when it is on... Can someone please tell me how to unbrick my device? Is there a way to install TWRP at the current condition of the phone? I think I cannot use lg flashtool because that requires the phone to be in download mode, while mine can't get in download mode...please help! thank you!
Edit: also when I try to hard factory reset the device it shows: ERROR: boot certification error and it gets stuck in black screen.
What I can think of is a way to manually install TWRP via adb or manually flash a kernel that supports custom dpi, but the only problem is that I don't know how to do that...

theres several things you could do.. try srk tools to try and fix twrp, or fix download mode using nuke download.. i dont know how to i just know theres a way to do it.. if other fails and it doesn not go into download mode then you must short circuit the motherboard.... then look at thread g2 hard brick fix..
here but try other first as this one you have to open phone..

I don't think my phone is hard bricked. USB debbuging is on and computer recognizes the device when it boots up. I simply don't know how to install twrp via adb commands or alternative methods ... or how to manually flash a custom kernel that would allow normal device boot up when dpi is changed.

This thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 might help you installing twrp via adb
I would like to know if someone could make a custom recovery and a stock version of android that I could put on my Blu Pure XR. I don't care if get rid of the 3d Touch on the phone. I just would like to have the stock android interface again and probably also the ram management will be better on the stock version.
I have the same request, would love to see TWRP. I'd like to install pixel launcher as system app and remove the adsup fota spyware.
The Pure XR is otherwise a great phone. Power management on stock is fantastic, i can get 6-7 hours of screen on time.
The Pure XR is essentially a Gionee S8 but sadly I dont see any custom recovery or development interest for that either.
Include me as well. Thanks
So the Pure XR is similar/same to the Symphony Helio S20...
There's a thread here that has a working twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/how-to-root-symphony-helio-s20-t3491123
I tested the recovery.img by loading it with fastboot without flashing and it worked!
You'll need adb/fastboot and the drivers first. Then boot the phone into fastboot mode by holding power + Up keys.
Select fastboot. After that, run: fasboot devices to make sure your phone is detected. Once detected:
fastboot oem unlock
reboot the phone, it'll do a force wipe
hold power+up keys again and boot to fastboot mode
Now, run this on your PC: fastboot boot recovery.img
Once the image is transferred, the screen goes blank...wait a min or two and TWRP will show up.
rom/firmware blu pure xr?
Anyone found a good stock ROM/Firmware for the Blu Pure XR?

When I connect the phone through Fastboot and enter the command "fastboot devices," the phone is never recognized. I'm using Windows 10. Any help would be appreciated.
I used Linux instead. Have you installed the mtk and adb windows drivers?

Yes, I installed the mtk and adb drivers however while adb works and detects my phone, fastboot does not.
Ok, I attempted using the SP Flash Tool on Windows 10 and successfully installed TWRP and rooted the phone. The only flaws are that the phone takes a few minutes to load into TWRP and unfortunately, there are still no custom roms on the device. It is a good start however.

Hey bud, big favor, would you describe step by step the rooting process, I used SP Flash Tool on windows 7 to install TWRP and it gave the ok check marK, then I tried to boot into recovery and I found out that TWRP was not installed. Do you have to unlock the bootloader to be able to install TWRP using SP Flash Tool? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I need your help, I've been trying to unlock my bootloader to root my phone, under setings I have developer options-OEM UNLOCK, but I only get as far as FASTBOOT MODE using my laptop as well as my pc, I tried this process with Windows 10, Windows 7 and latest Ubuntu. I tried different data cables, different usb ports 2.0 and 3.0 and nothing seems to work, I can put the phone on FASTBOOT MODE with my pc or lap, but then after that it looks to me that there is no comunication between my pc and phone. I installed all drivers several times and under DEVICE MANAGER everything looks good, as far as data cables I'm using 2 blu original data cables as well as aftermarket ones. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a good day.

I remember something similar to this happening to me when I used a different version of SP Flash tool. Try SP Flash Tool v5.1624.00.000. After this make sure you have the scatter file for the MT6755 as well as the recovery file for the phone. Make sure that you have selected the scatter file for the phone and that the recovery.img is in the same directory as the scatter file.
Once this is done, make sure that you have installed the preloader or VCOM driver for the phone. This is tricky as the opportunity to apply the correct driver comes when you are powering on the phone and in this time you must click on the device that pops up in this time, right click it, and click properties.
Once this is done, go back to SP Flash Tool and click download, your phone must be off and unplugged before doing this. Then after this step, plug in your phone and the download process should begin (this might take a while). After this, boot into recovery mode which also will take around 3-5 minutes maybe more. After this you will have TWRP installed and from there you can install various apps including SU.

Hi everyone, TWRP has been released by lopestom here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xr/development/twrp-twrp-3-1-x-x-blu-pure-xr-p0030-t3623865
Since the Pure XR threads are very slim here I thought I'd post this here.
Seems my XR's data has got very slow, signal strength weak, etc.
Trying to figure out if this is Cricket or something up with the phone. My wife has a Blu Life one X3 and the same Cricket and her signal and data speeds are always better than mine.
What are some things to check/look for? I've tried a few like manually choosing the Network, changing the APN settings, etc.
Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everybody,
Sorry if my post already exists and if my english is bad but i really need help...
I tried to root my honor 7 so first i unlocked bootloader successfuly, i installed TWRP too and everything seemed work very good until last step where my phone didn't boot, i stayed stuck in boot logo... Then I done a factory reset with wipe cache, dalvik, data etc...
Now the only things i'm able to do are boot on recovery mode, eRecovery and on fastboot&rescue mode. I lost adb and fastboot and i'm not able to acess to the phone so i can't put a rom on the phone to install it...
If anyone could help me it would be very nice because I'm going crazy. Thank you !
My phone was up-to-date, i can't remember witch firmware i had but i think it was Android 6.0.1

Read this carefully, this will restore youre phone:
1*.)No matter what youve done with this phone it will be cleanly installed like its fresh new, cause i had couple of problems and this method worked
1.)Download the latest b396 firmware
2.)format youre SD card with basic settings via Windows ( if you have a usb stick to connect youre SD card to computer like i do, if you cant connect youre SD card to computer, use another smartphone and format youre SD card with basic settings)- simply talking just format youre SD card
3.)create --->>>dload<<<--- folder like i wrote down without the --->>><<<--- stuff on youre SD card
4.)paste the update.app file to the dload folder
5.)insert youre SD card to phone
6.)this is the moment of truth hold down volume + & - key and power key all in once until the emui logo appears WARNING: remove all keys after logo appearing WARNING: if the logo doesnt appear even after 30sec. keep still holding until the logo appears
***If you get somekind of error i can help, if it worked youre a lucky guy
Hi,
my Note 5 (which is standard with latest software updates) hangs on the Mi screen when starts up. I can get it into FASTBOOT mode.
And when I connect to PC/Windows 10 and go through adb and enter this:
fastboot devices
gives this result:
fcef713c0904
But I'm not sure what to do now? I guess I need to flash some sort of recovery but not being super tech savvy I'm a bit nervous.
thanks Phillip

Edit: fastboot is recognicing your device, as far I understood what you mean you tried to unroot it and gave you bootloop, flash the boot image that you are using lastly through fastboot and see what happens

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
I wasn't trying to do anything with my phone (root or unroot) when it started this behaviour so I don't have a boot image to flash? And my phone doesn't have 'usb debugging enabled' but because it won't turn on I can't enable it.
So i need to do 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' but when I do this it says cannot load twrp.img no such file or directory.
Aaaaaah!
thanks, Phil

Then try first going to recovery stock manually and wipe data and try to boot.
There are many users reporting this kind of issues along the time (updating firmware, charging all the night, etc) so the best is enabling USB debugging if something goes wrong you´ll have more options to save your device.
I guess you have your bootloader locked and also for this reason you can no longer use fastboot mode to flash some file.
If the first doesn´t result then your last resource would be to flash a rom through test point method (if you have Redmi 5 Plus-Vince)

Hey everyone. Today I've finally unbricked my Zenfone 7 after my dumbass locked the oem with fastboot since I've already rooted my phone and didn't want to use adb anymore (I was getting tired of the warranty voided message at boot too). Right after locking the oem, the phone booted and displayed a message that says: " Your device is corrupted. It cannot be trusted and won't boot". You already could tell I was scared as hell, so all I did the past hours was to look around until I found this solution!
Have in mind I'm not an expert or a developer, I'm only hoping you find this thread if you ever find yourself locked in fastboot with no access to recovery, oem, adb or usb debugging, just fastboot commands.
Having said that, you need to flash the raw firmware for your device. For the Zenfone 7 the one you need is "WW__ZS670KS_29.14.53.5_MR1.3_20201111_release-user.raw".
You also need:
- Android sdk and platform tools (minimal adb works too but I recommend original google software)
- Usb asus drivers
- Usb google drivers (installable from android studio just like sdk and platform tools)
Turn on your device on fastboot and connect it to your pc, then open cmd or powershell on your platform-tools folder and execute
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if your zenfone is detected. Close the command prompt.
Now, on the raw rom folder open flashall_AFT.cmd as administrator, then it should start flashing all of the stock firmware files. Once the prompt closes itself, reboot your phone using volume keys and power button to select.
In my case, right after booting, the phone displayed a message that said "your phone is corrupted" but with a wipe data option this time around. Choose wipe data/factory reset (all your data will be gone).
There you go! The phone should reboot into stock clean rom now.

How strange, you shouldn't need OEM unlock to flash the raw rom. Hope you get through it... meanwhile I'll let you know if I find a possible solution

thanks, I've searched enough and tried it all, sent ticket to Asus support,
they say considering all that it's probably physically corrupted,
nothing much I can do at home
