Hi everyone! So, I have an Huawei Mate 10 lite that suddenly stopped working. It isn't rooted and its bootloader is locked. It was working fine up until that point and then it turned off starting a bootloop that is still going on after a long a time.
Since going into fastboot&rescue is the only shortcut key that seems to be working, I tried doing what it said "Please connect USB cable to your computer and open Hisuite". However, HiSuite says that is cannot support system recovery in my phone which is simply hilarious...
I tried putting and update.app file on a dload folder in the root of the sd card after seeing some people suggesting that - but I can't access the upgrade mode (volume up and down + power does absolutely nothing). Also, since Huawei decided they should just turn their backs on this phone, all download links to the update roms are down and I had to download it from a Russian website - perhaps it not being the correct version is the problem with me not being able to go into upgrade mode, but I honestly have no idea how to even get another version.
I tried flashing through adb but since the bootloader is locked, it gives me a "command not allowed" message.
Going into recovery is impossible, it goes into bootloop also, just like upgrade mode.
I'm getting quite desperate since nothing seems to be working... Please, if you have any suggestions, HELP! I'll be throwing this damn thing against a wall if I'm not able to fix it soon

I've searched trough the forums for days now but was unable to find the right solution, so I'm in need of advices and guiding.
I recently got a Huawei Mediapad S7-301u, which I think is soft bricked. It keeps restarting over and over again. I'm able to enter only into fastboot mode I think. Tried to get into recovery mode without success. Text on device screen: Entering fastboot mode, press power for more than 10 seconds to restart.
When I connect it to my PC -running Win10- , fastboot devices command lists it. (Installed Minimal ADB and fastboot software found in the forums.)
I'd like to just get it working again, a stock ROM is okay. It doesn't matter if data is lost or not.
As far as I know it's an almost unused tab, probably been running 3.2JB on it.
If somebody could kindly write the detailed steps to make it work again or point me to a guide how to exactly do it, I'd be glad.
Hello,
This morning I turned off and on my phone (RN5 Global).
Now, If I try to start it, phone goes directly to Mi-Recovery 3.0 and, no matter how hard you try to restart, it always ends there.
More info:
- The phone is completely from stock. No root, no bootloader unlock, nothing.
- Mi-Recovery only let me Wipe All Data, so this would be an unfeasible option without first having recovered the data.
- My PC Suite does not recognize the phone.
- If I connect the mobile to the pc, 'adb devices' command says "sideload".
- If I try to make a backup by 'adb shell' it says "error: closed".
- I do not know if 'debug usb' is activated. I remember i activated it in the past, but I think that MIUI10 update deactivated it again.
- I can enter fastboot mode.
- I tried to open the phone, disconnect and connect the battery, but nothing has been fixed.
What can I do? My priorities now are:
1.- Recover the data (at least photos).
2.- Revive my phone.
Thank you.
Found this on MIUI, what do you think?

If your device is Redmi Note 5 from other country but India then it´s Whyred and this Forum is for Redmi 5 Plus/Redmi Note 5 (only India) that is Vince.
In the case I´m right and your device is Whyred (two rear cameras is a simple way to note it) then as far as I know you will need an EDL authorized account to flash a rom through MiFlash Tool.
Other tool that you can use is XiaomiFlash Tool by Francesco Tescari through Mi-Recovery but you will need too have enable USB debugging (maybe you have) but the same way you can flash a rom also you´ll lose all your data.
Adb shell works only in rooted devices, you can´t backup nothing in this state and fastboot mode is limited to just few commands like list device/reboot devices and nothing more in locked bootloaders.
In this scenario you have two things in order to solve this issue:
1- Highly probable loosing all your data.
- Doing format data through recovery and try to boot (data lost for sure)
- Flashing a rom through recovery with the mentioned tool (99% data lost probabilities)
- Flashing a rom through EDL; if you have Vince you can do it but if you have Whyred I don´t think so (if you choose second option "Flash without erase userdata" in MiFlash Tool I guess your data will be preserved)
2- If you enabled before USB debugging and binded your Mi account with device wait the time to unlock bootloader and maybe booting first of all in TWRP you can recover some data from your device, if you unlocked but first of all you boot on system for sure all your data will gone.
So what happened? Were you able to solve it? PLs share if you were...
I am also faced that situation.
When i tried to flash stock miui through fastboot it locked the bootloader and cant boot into rom then mi flash tool cant flash as boot loader is locked.
Worst part is in order flash another rom i need recovery, unable to reach developers option as rom not booting up.
Lost hope on the device
After all so many google searches and sleep less nights
I found application called mi pc suite china
Try to flash miui rom through mi pc suite mode
It says boot loader locked do you want to unlock
Finally it unlocked boot loader without booting into mobile.
In your case that will app will work. try it

how u solved your problem , i am stuck in same stage .. help please
I was stuck in Mi Recovery Mode 3.0 on my Mi Redmi Note 5.
Even after doing reboot to system, it wasn't going back to normal.
After scratching my head for a lot of time I decided to do the old school thing, i.e. REMOVING the SIM card and SD card and pressing the VOLUME DOWN + POWER KEY until the vibration occurred (NOTE: Mi logo will appear while you have pressed but keep the 2 buttons pressed until vibration occurred).

were any files deleted? and do you perhaps know if it would work on redmi note 7?
hello guys just look this video i solved it
Hi all,.
I also faced the same issue my redmi note 5 Pro which was on I believe MIUI 10 because it was never updated from the day it was purchased got stuck in bootloop and not getting ahead after recovery mode no matter how much time you reboot it was all working fine but some apps were updating such as youtube when this incident occurred I tried every solution like pressing keys pressing all three keys simultaneously or ADB method but none could work since the phone was locked also there was no USB debugging so adb method wouldn't work to also if an if ADB connected I couldn't flash because it will remove the data, in recovery mod you can see in option connect with MI Assistant but the Indian English version shown no connection so found one youtube video (channel name -" Ach Sharif ", video link-
which helped to install chinese version and and solved login issues I used Google translate translate to read the Chinese characters and understand what is going on I connected the device intending to take a backup backup but as no option was available I had to click on flash device so it downloaded upgraded recovery rom and automatically flash to MIUI 11 but still same problem then again I connected and upgraded to MIUI 12 and the phone was able to boot so the phone finally got fixed all data and all apps were intact and working as originally also all data of WhatsApp chats etc remained even the open apps at the time when problem happened were still present.
I believe guys this is the only solution to the problem because while flashing it replaces the recovery module of the rom which was corrupted earlier in my case when MIUi 12 installed not 11 I feel that it replaced recovery module due to update and it was able to work so please try once and I hope you get your files back, now lesson learned please do regular backups to live worry free life otherwise we will be spending time and energy here only.
I believe ADB methods or other methods won't work because they will flash and you won't be able to get data only flashing through recovery ROM not fastboot rom just like update package will be able to solve your problem if it is a software problem it will be can be fixed fixed this way only and saving data if it's a hardware problem such as power of all volume buttons are stucked you just get change and everything will be fine it happened in my other phone redmi Y2 so from speaking from experience thats all as I was going through trouble these things really help me so I thought to spend time in creating this guide please follow and I hope it will be solved.
You must open back cover( easily you can do it by hair dryer) and disconnect and connect again the battery, it will fix
Hi,
I have an issue with my phone which I've had for a while now, and I'd like to fix it because it's a bit annoying.
A few weeks ago, I attempted to flash TWRP and Magisk on my device. Everything went fine, I get into fastboot, boot in TWRP...
Then, my phone rebooted, PIN code screen into password screen, and any interaction between my phone and my computer became impossible. No file transfer, nothing, and no contextual menu when you plug your phone in.
I tried again today out of curiosity when I saw the Xiaomi Mod Tool that recently came out, and I was surprisingly able to enter into file transfer mode, then into debugging mode, which allowed the tool to recognize my device. I thought to myself "hey that's pretty cool"... Until I tried to install TWRP once again, since it hadn't been installed last time. Again, reboot in fastboot, then instant normal reboot, PIN code, password, and absolutely no interaction.
Has anybody had this issue before ? And if somebody knows how to fix this issue, would they kindly guide me ?
Regards.
Hey all, hope everyone is having a great day (I'm not),
I own a SM-T510 Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 WiFi.
It all started when I tried to flash Nexus and it worked partially, but I didn't gain access to my internal storage for some reason, so I reverted back to stock rom.
Then for some reason part of the nexus rom was still there, but I was afraid of damaging my device further.
For some reason, netflix wasn't working, so I tried to apply a software update to my device using Smart Switch.
The update didn't work and I was caught in a Nexus bootloop. I entered download mode and I tried flashing twrp using odin. I thought it worked until I realised that it wouldn't get past the teamwin screen.
I re-entered download mode and there it gave me an option to factory reset the device while locking the bootloader. This is where I screwed up as I thought what else could possibly happen to my device?
SO I locked my bootloader and whatever I did I couldn't get out of download mode. AND here I screwed up even more. I tried to flash the stock ROM again using odin as a last resort but it just wouldn't complete after 10 minutes, so I closed Odin and restarted my device and here I am, stuck in a screen that says, "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." Now obviously this wouldn't work because my device isn't even listed there. But to note, my device is recognised by Odin and my PC.
Note: I am an absolute noobie at rooting so be easy on me.
Note 2: adb and fastboot doesn't work for me for some reason, my powershell says, "The term 'fastboot' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."
Thank you all for any help. I am at my wit's end.
I was trying to flash lg-k350n with LineageOs and make a whole bunch of idiotic deeds, so currently I'm felling like dying is the best option for me.
1. I've used this tutorial: .getdroidtips.com/install-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery. It clearly says that this ROM is for Android 8.0 Oreo, while mine is Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Nevertheless I've downloaded ROM lineage-15.0-20170913-Unofficial-MT6735-64-bit.zip. For some reason TWRP mentioned here getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-15-lg-k8-8-0-oreo/ did not wok for me but I've googled a bit and found something called TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img which worked (not by fastboot flash TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img since this TWRP appeared to be to big but simply by fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img).
So I just did:i
turn on debugger
turn off oem lock
adb boot bootloader
fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img
Feeling happy that TWRP loaded nicely I had not done any backjup and just wiped system as suggested here: lineageos.org/devices/h990/install. Then I've tried to installl the Android 8..0. ROM with obviously did not work. And I've got left with a TWRP working and then I've put the last needle in my coffin - I've rebooted hoping that some hard reset or recovery will fix things for me.
So now I have a phone which I'm able to put to recovery, but it does not recover anything. The phone just go dead after such a recovery.
I cannot put it into fastboot mode, if I could, I would just run 'fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img' and at least had a chance to google a bit for maybe a vanilla ROM or anything working, which I could've later installer.
I've seen that there is a way to put the phone into download mode when it will download stuff from S/W "LG Bridge", bu I don't have Windows and haven't yet tried in virtualbox.
Is there any way to unbrick the device? Please help an idiot!
Sorry, you have to find a Windows box I'm afraid, LG is only offering Windows software for flashing. But chances are quite good that you are able to revive the telephone that way. I have bricked my phone as well but was able to unbrick it this way:
Go to www.lg.com, choose your language, select download, software and firmware.
Select smartphone, Android smartphones, K-series and your model number. This is only to come to the download site of LG Bridge, I guess it's not really important to choose the precise model!
Download LG Bridge, install and start it.
Let it update itself and the USB drivers and keep the software running.
Switch off the phone, press Volume up and keep holding that button.
Connect the phone with via USB with the PC while still pressing Volume Up. The phone should be recognized by the PC (install USB driver) and by LG Bridge (watch the status line to the left, it should show the phone type and USB)
The phone should automatically switch on and show a download screen (yippee!)
Select the second tab "software update" and then click on "correct update error" in the lower right. It should automatically download the correct firmware from the internet, so this is rather fool proof!
Click through it and this should start the flashing process, at the end the phone will automatically reboot, ask for the PIN, etc.
Unbricked!!!
Above instruction worked for me on a completely demolished phone. Lineage OS, changed FS, root attempted, I almost though that's it, but no, it recovered, thumbs up.
I haven't tried in Virtual Box, so I cannot tell if this is working. But you've got nothing to loose, right, so why not try it?

your phone cannot be trusted loooooop, cannot goto download and fastboot mode...
If you don't manage to enter download mode you have probably indeed bricked the phone. If what I've written above doesn't work for you I know of no other way to resurrect it, sorry.
This is because you cannot burn TWRP to the Flash plus there's no tool available to bootstrap an LG phone with a completely naked or corrupted Flash. There must be something like that, because a freshly manufactured phone has by definition a naked Flash.
With Samsung phones you have Odin and with it it is possible to burn a software to a completely dead phone. So it is almost impossible to hard brick it. With LG unfortunately it is different. Plus this phone is somehow crippled, it has only a very, very limited amount of Flash. So I would recommend to not care for this phone anymore, it's not worth it, and instead get a current one with a decent amount of memory.
