Is my Olivette brick fixable from this state? - Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers

Hi People,
I hope I am putting this question in the proper location.
I have had several attempts ate flashing a new ROM to my device as it was the Chinese version & kinda useless to me not having Play store or several other APPs I want. I also wanted to try ROOT a phone for the first time.
I managed to get as far as getting ADB & fastboot working & TWRP installed on the device. The first ROM I had put in my file storage was corrupt so I tried the Lineage 17 version which "seemed"to install with a success message, but the phone would only boot into TWRP. so I tried the Havoc ROM from the thread in this site area. Same thing, would only boot into TWRP. Then I thought I would start over & install the factory ROM from: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/olivelite/stable/V12.0.2.0.QCPMIXM/ with ADB & fastboot. I got a success message from the MiFlash tool but the device is now saying the "MIUI verson cannot be installed on this device" in one screen from the Redmi-Recovery 3.0 menu that's now on it.
From here I can Reboot, wipe data or connect with MiAssistant. When I try MiAssistant (PC Suite) the phone does not connect to my PC but I can see the ADB device from device manager and ./adb fastboot devices shows a serial number -but connected as sideload if that makes a difference?
I hope I explained well enough to be understood. Is there anything I can do from here to get it working or is it fully stuffed?

Ur device's bootloader still unlocked?

Problem of transfer of files while installing a new rom

Hello,
I am having a big issue with my Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. I tried to install a new rom on it and I am stuck in the recovery step.
I achieved to unlock the phone, install the fastboot drivers and flash the boot of my device. I can access to the CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1 menu but I just can't put the new rom in my /sdcard/xx directory.
I've tried to use the "adb push cm-11-....-windy.zip /sdcard/0/" command line, but I receive the message: "error: device not found".
I then check the command "adb devices" and indeed the device is not listed even though the device is connected. I then tried to reboot the device (after wiping the data/factory reset, cache partition and dalvyk cache, but my tab is not rebooting on anything. I have nothing but the wave background. Once the device got at that stage, the "adb devices" commande shows the following message: CB51xxxxxx unauthorized. It looks like I have a driver problem or something similar, but I tried to install different drivers and nothing worked so far.
So from there, I am lost, I can't boot my system with the original rom and I can't transfer any new rom in the memory to install a new one.
I would appreciate it a lot if anyone could give me some leads on how I could transfer the new rom on my device or at least recover the original sony firmware so that I can use my tablet again.
Thank you for your answers and time
P.S. I also tried the slideloader option, but since it seems to work on the adb program, it's not working either.

I found a solution, I flashed my tablet with flashtool and a working ftf file. Then I could have my tablet running the original sony rom and finally I could transfer the cyanogen rom into the tab. Everything is running fine now.

HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA Bricked without Recovery or Custom Recovery mode accessable

Hi!
First off let me say thanks to R_a_z_v_a_n for redirecting me and hope that I'll find my answer here ^^
So I Have this device called HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA (not with Slate just HP 7 Voicetab), wanting to have a custom recovery then I tried to flash a CWM Custom Recovery for HP Slate 7 VoiceTab because I thought it was the same and ends up bricking my phone. It ends up in a bootloop which only shows HP sign for a few seconds and dead. But I managed to find out that I can access the recovery menu (or so I thought it is), but the options was choosing between Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and VART Mode.
I tried to enter Fastboot Mode before and tried to access it via PC but somehow I can't find the device by entering adb devices and fastboot devices. Anyways, I have downloaded a stock update.zip for it but not the original KitKat one which I get from the first time I bought it but rather the JB ones. I think by flashing this would help me recover the device but the only problem is I don't know which method should I use to Flash it. Since I don't have the Stock Recovery or ANY kind of recovery at all, I guess I'm stuck. And it won't start to the home page so I can't set the USB debugging options. Please guide me through this >.<
Thanks a lot!
Been fighting with it for 2 days now and still no result came.
So here's the update so far....
I tried on my other device in order to understand how my PC reads ADB and now I kinda gets it. But the problem is now can't get the device to enable USB Debugging because I can't access options at all.
Secondly, since I left it on for the night because charging seems to trigger the bootloop too, now I can't access the fastboot mode like I was last night. And it constantly repeating this sequence: [battery scene with the "charging battery" symbol] > [HP Powered by Android screen] repeated for 2-3 times > [low battery need charging screen] > repeat. And once I tried to connect to the PC, it goes to the same sequence too. When I tried to access the boot options (the screen which displays Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and UART Mode which I mention in Thread Starting post), it shows the low battery need charging scene and then repeating the same sequence as mentioned above.
I seem to figure out how to fix this but I still can't manage to access the fastboot mode yet. Will give update once I can try to.
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks a lot!
Update!
Somehow with a little tweaking and stripping the device, I managed to solve the charging problems. Will update on this once my problem finished.
Jump out from the frying pan and into the fire so they say, I ran into another problem. Finally managed to get into fastboot mode, the devices manager reads it as an Android Device>ROMaster ADB device like the other device I tried to connect while in ADB mode and fastboot mode, but somehow CMD cannot read the device as an ADB device or a Fastboot device like the other device did. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and still nothing happens. I tried to find the usb_driver on the internet and it directs me to the update.zip instead. Trying to update the driver via Computer Management but it says the driver is up to date. Now thinking about making an emulator device based on the HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA but I really have no idea how to make one. Any one have any idea of what should I do next or can guide me through this? At least until the CMD can read the fastboot.
Thanks a lot!
I found my self in a deadlock!
PLEASE HELP :crying:
Could you unbrick yours
What service centre says about that problem i also ran in this problrm but i m trying to go to service centre for that
first off install drivers in your PC as admin

@Sunderesh, thanks for the suggestion, however, couldnt get any official flashtool for hp voicetab. Can you suggest one please?

Can't get into fastboot or recovery mode

I had TWRP installed and all was good. Then I tried an OTA update. Update failed and now I can't get into recovery or fastboot. When I try it stops at the 1+ logo with Fastboot Mode written under the logo. This happens if I try Volum Up + power button or adb reboot-bootloader. Device is listed with ADB but won't show up for fastboot.
How do I get back to stock recovery and get the update installed?
Thanks!
Is fastboot installed properly on your PC?
Drivers?
If not and you get it working, you can use fastboot to flash a new recovery. Otherwise read ahead.
Does your phone boot? Is it rooted?
If so, you can try to flash a new recovery via tools like FlashFire, Flashify, Rashr, etc.
If none of those work for you, you can try the un-bricking methods.
I've had my Oneplus 2 hardbrick 3 times on me so far. The solution was to put the phone into a Qualcomm QHUSB_BULK mode, installing unsigned drivers in Windows, and using Chinese software to push recovery files to your phone.
For my first two hard bricks (My phone wasn't responding to anything - it would just show up in the device manager when plugged into the PC). I was able to write the stock recovery and boot files onto my phone by using Method 1 from this OnePlus Forums thread: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/.
I was then able to boot to recovery and dirty flash my OS without any data loss this way.
The last hard brick was much worse and required me to completely reinstall everything on my phone via one of the other methods (I used this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/oneplus-solution-hard-bricked-device-t3183449 and ended up with H2OS, which I then replaced with OOS 3.1.0) - if it comes to that I would recommend checking out the other methods in the OnePlus Forum link below to hopefully avoid going through H2OS - but if not, this one worked.
Also, for updates: You'll need to to reflash (dirty flash) your rom first (this is to unroot/undo any modifications you made to the system, otherwise the OTA will fail) and then flash the OTA. You should be able to use TWRP for this.
Thanks for the reply. Got fastboot working on a different computer.
Phone boots just fine. Not rooted. Just can't access recovery mode or install updates
I tried loading stock recovery (as per this thread) with no change. Thinking I'll have to treat it like it's bricked. Would rather not have to wipe phone though, but doesn't look like I have much choice .
For the past two days I had faced the issue of connecting the device in fastboot mode. Mobile is working fine, loaded with latest firmware OTA updates from OnePlus.
I would like to install TWRP on my mobile but the device is getting detected in the fastboot mode. Tried various steps, reinstalled adb & fastboot as well as OnePlus drivers nothing works. However my mobile is being detected in the adb mode. If I run the command adb devices, it displays my mobile serial number but in fastboot it just sits at the waiting for the device screen.
After a lot of googling, xda search & Oneplus forums search, nothing found. Then I tried reinstalling the adb interface drivers manually, where I have noticed that Win10 installed the latest drivers adb drivers updated in the month of Sep16. Here I have selected the older version driver which was released in the year 2014 and installed it successfully. I run the fastboot devices command again Voila... It worked. no restart, no rebooting the phone. Immediately worked.
Lesson learnt : - Always do not use latest drivers, sometimes try the older drivers if something is not working in your phone.

Unable to access bootloader

Yesterday I tried to flash a a new rom on my Xperia Z2 (unlocked bootloader).
From TWRP I did an advanced wipe and selected basically everything except my mircoSD (because it has the new files).
After a long time of waiting I tried to flash the ZIP file and it gave me an error. I thought this had to do with the wipe so I decided to reboot my phone.
As you can imagine, it got stuck on the Sony logo (because system would be empty).
From this moment I couldn't do anything with my phone, except from the tool Emma.
I now have some clean installation of Sony their Android 6.0.1 for the Z2 (23.5.A.0.570) but Im unable to flash TWRP through fastboot.
The command adb devices shows my phone, fastboot devices gives an empty response.
When I restart to the bootloader from adb and try to flash TWRP I get the message "< waiting for device >".
I tried on three different PCs including a clean install of Windows with all kind of different drivers, yet I cant get fastboot to work.
Am I stuck with this unrooted version of Android now or do you guys have any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance!
Install drivers correctly

As I said I've tried all kind of different drivers (Android tools, Sony drivers and flahstool drivers). So for me it's hard to tell what I'm doing wrong.
My computer notices the phone (if I hold volume up and attach the charger), it just doesn't show up under fastboot devices.

Okay, apparently it was because of the driver signature stuff in Windows 10.. The fastboot command now works fine!
Next problem occurred though, flashed the newest TWRP recovery but as soon as I enter "adb reboot recovery" my phone just normally boots again..
Why do things never work out the right way for me as they are intended..

Manually boot into recovery by booting up your device normally and when you see a violet LED, press vol+.

If you can boot into bootloader, you can fastboot flash the images from https://developers.google.com/android/images (or just try running the entire N9F27N script) from your fastboot folder in cmd prompt or the Mac equivalent if you use Apple.

usb-debug is not enabled.
the thing is , when i rooted i got locked out then i factory reseted it , but it still is in bootloop,
i am unable to connect with device this is what i see when run the script ,
the cmd prompet say "<waiting for device >"
does it ever happened to anyone , getting locked without getting developer mode > usb-debug enabled , and then flashing factory rom ?
Can you still access TWRP, if it was already on the device.
Flash any custom rom, enable the option and flash stock again (if you want).
If it is stock recovery, sideload an OTA image instead.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Manually boot recovery and you shouldn't need usb-debug enabled, I hope.
A bit of research and it is required unfortunately
Edit: You don't need usb-debugging for fastboot flashing.
Also Nexus Root Toolkit might prove helpful to setup drivers on your pc and restore your device to working order.
^^^ It is out of date software, so hesitant to recommend it.

Boot to bootloader and use fastboot commands. Fastboot flash system system.img
Etc.
Use the files extracted from factory image.

I've definitely had this experience. You can try disconnecting the cable then reconnecting. When that doesn't work, you have to remove all the drivers or at least run through "updating" the Android drivers in hardware settings. You won't actually be updating drivers just re-installing from the PC. Wug's toolkit mentioned above may be your best choice if you don't have TWRP. The toolkit will provide you with an exe called usbdeview which enables driver removal. I didn't mention an OTA sideload because I thought you did need ADB for that. If you can get PC to recognize the device in cmd, then you can fastboot flash images.
