Question Nokia X20 bricked after 2022-08 update and don't have a recovery option in the bootloader - Nokia X10 / X20

Hello everybody,
I recently installed the Nokia X20 2022-08 update for Android 12 and rebooted my phone. Everything seemed fine, until I started to enter the PIN of my SIM card. After entering the 4th digit, the screen froze and nothing responded. I waited roughly 20 - 30 minutes, and the phone still did not respond. After that I gave my phone a reboot and it's been in a boot loop ever since hanging forever at the Nokia screen (it passes the Android One screen).
After a while, I rebooted my phone to the bootloader, unfortunately I do not have a recovery option (likely due to the fact that I've never enabled USB Debugging and Developer Options?) I only have the options:
- Reboot into bootloader
- Boot
- Power Off
- The command adb devices does not show the device while booting
- The command fastboot devices does not show the device while booting
- The command adb devices does not show the device in the bootloader
- The command fastboot devices does show the device in the bootloader
- Is there any way to get my phone into recovery mode in the current state?
- Is there any way I can get USB debugging enable, so that I can use adb (instead of just fastboot?)
- Is there a way that I can get the recovery option in the bootloader so that I can recover my phone?
Or is the situation hopeless and will I need to send in my phone for repair?
I've got the android-tools installed on my Linux machine?

Probably stupid question, but have you tried the keys: Power and Volume+ while powering up?
That should bring you into recovery mode as far as i know.

When I press the power and volume up it just keeps rebooting With the volume down combined it goes to the boot loader, but there's no recovery option there either.

Did you try to boot without any SIM card and SD card?

YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK, IT'S EFFECTIVELY FULLY BRICKED UNLESS YOU BRING IT TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE.
HMD's known for blocking people out of bootloader unlocking, and even if you beg them, they can't anyway (they released incomplete bootloaders for their retail units.) I'd say "call Hikari_Calyx" or something, but I don't think he can help with this issue.

what's your model, then? Those kinds of phones from Nokia/HMD are never able to enter fastboot/recovery mode though.

[Q] Create stock recovery update.zip from CWM (6+) backup?

I have two identical nexus s phones.
Phone 1:
- has no usb connectivity, and thus can't be used with fastboot or adb
- unlocked bootloader
- stock jellybean
Phone 2:
- rooted
- has CWM 6.0.3.1 installed
- stock jellybean
I've taken a backup of phone 2 and want to flash it using the stock recovery on phone 1. I'm on OS X.
I've found a couple threads on this but they're all leading to dead ends. One used a utility called unyaffs, but the CWM file format has changed to use hashed blobs so that 's not going to work.
I've also seen a couple posts saying that CWM had a "soon to be released" option to create an update.zip file, but I don't see that option. Those posts are from last August. That sounds great if it existed and the image could be used with stock recovery.
All I really need to do is flash the bootloader from phone 2 on to phone 1 (I previously flashed the wrong bootloader on phone 1 which led to the loss of usb, which is what I'm trying to fix.) I tried zipping the correct bootloader image from the google download page and installing from stock recovery but it refuses to flash that image. (Not sure if fastboot images can be flashed in recovery mode?)
Argh, need a little help here.
Thanks in advance.

ok your post isnt making sense. first of all how did you flash thethe wrong bootloader to phone 1? and when you compare the phones bootloaders, what is the bootloader version number for each one? so what youre saying is that phone 1 will never give you an adb connection at all, even when youre booted into android? when you plug phone 1 into the computer from within android what happens? and when you boot phone 1 into bootloader and execute fastboot mode then connect it to your computer do you see anything when you run the command ./fastboot devices? or ./adb devices when youre in adb mode on your phone? if your computer can see phone 2 and not phone 1 at all via usb then there is likely a problem with the usb port on your phone 1. you should be able to boot directly into fastboot mode by holding vol up and power button while powering on the phone, then it should take you straight to fastboot mode where you can then connect to the computer. remember to put the phone in fastboot mode then connect sometimes the computer wont see the phone if it was already plugged in upon entering fastboot mode/

I was trying to downgrade the phone to ICS using the factory image from google. I picked the wrong image from the google site (picked soju, needed sojus) and flashed it using fastboot. As soon as I flashed the wrong bootloader the USB connection stopped working so I didn't flash the radio or os. I no longer can connect to the phone using fastboot or adb, usb debugging stopped working. The USB debugging option is set in developer options. So, trying to get the phone working now without USB. Hope that makes sense now. :good:

[Q] SOS Fastboot/ADB/Recovery not working

My LG-E970 (AT&T) will not boot. What happened was FreeGee had an error part way though and I did not think anything of it. I had already successfully rooted my phone hours earlier and all seemed to be working well. I turned my phone off for the night and when I went to turn it back on it would not boot. It went into what it called "Demigod" mode, from which I can access Fastboot, but the recovery appears to be broken as well. I have tried accessing Fastboot to re-flash the recovery but neither Fastboot or ADB can even find the device. I've tried every USB driver I can find and nothing seems to help. Device Manager shows when it's connected under Unknown Devices and it names it Android, but ADB and Fastboot don't see it. All I can see on the Fastboot screen is the following information:
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT_NAME - mako
VARIANT - mako 16GB
HW VERSION - rev_10 (168)
BOOTLOADER VERSION - MAKOZ10f
BROADBAND VERSION - N/A
CARRIER INFO - NONE
SERIAL NUMBER - 003fa9505095f3a5
SIGNING - production
SECURE BOOT - enabled
LOCK STATE - unlocked
Any solutions would make me incredibly grateful. I have tried everything I can think of and I hate having to ask for help, but I see no other choice at this point.

I hope you backed up your EFS. Mine was borked by the broken FreeGee that I ran the other night.
I was able to install a custom recovery from Linux by adding a udev rule and restarting the udev service. (Unlike Windows nonsense, this doesn't require a complete new packaging of the driver.)
If you're willing to tackle some Ubuntu (which is easy), I can give you a step-by-step to getting a custom recovery on your phone. It will probably work even from a live CD without even having to install Ubuntu to your harddrive.
Have you read and tried about the LGNPST method of flashing the TeenyBins and installing TWRP recovery ??
I think it should work , as I had the same issue as of today and with the help of those I was at least able to install TWRP recovery. Haven't tried flashing any ROM but I think it should work.

[P760][BRICKED] I have only acces to fastboot bootloader mode.

Hello
I think I've bricked my P760. When i want to run my phone it stuck on LG logo and can't boot to OS. Everything was fine but after installing fix to camera i could boot to OS my phone once and after reboot i can't boot to OS anymore. My phone has root, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and custom ROM. I don't have acces to recovery. I have only acces to bootloader mode with fastboot (VOL+ + HOME + POWER). Then i have a note "Welcome to LG Fastboot Mode ". My computer detects it and automatically installs drivers (Fastboot interface (Google USB ID). But the problem is that in Device Manager it all time blinks. It's connected and immediately dissconects. I'm using original USB cable from LG charger. When i'm trying to use cmd in fastboot & adb files it's waiting for device all the time.
I don't know what I should do next :C
Pls help guys

Go through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828 it will definitely solve your problem, from the screen-shot it seems that you are using windows 10, i'm not sure that omap4430 drivers will work on windows 10 or not, but you'll try otherwise do the process on windows 7, your phone will revive...

Soft-bricked Infinix X657C

Still very new to the community, so please bear with me if I miss something or make any mistakes.
Trying to flash havocOS
I flashed an unofficial version of twrp (for X657, made sure to disable verity on both vbmeta and vbmeta_system), then attempted to boot into twrp, with no luck (it just ended up booting into fastboot for some reason).
I then tried to boot into fastbootd, completely forgetting i had twrp still installed, to flash havoc from there (this is where i think i messed up, i remember reading somewhere that twrp prevents this)
Now my phone is stuck looping on the infinix logo
Tried the SP Flash Tool, but kept getting this error. Which I'm guessing is because the phone keeps restarting (mainly because "Disconnected!" shows up in the console between two instances of the same error).
Any advice?

Probably you haven´t to flash vbmeta to boot to TWRP but just when you are ready to boot to system.

You can flash the TWRP image through fastboot and then boot to it through commands.

I meant twrp prevents booting to fastbootd, it was after trying to boot into fastbootd using "fastboot reboot fastboot" that the bootloop started, right now I can't seem to get past the boot logo.

This method doesn't work either since the phone won't stay off for more than 7 seconds.
I'm not stuck in a bootloop as in the phone powers on, then gets stuck, or powers off again
The phone continuously powers on and off and nothing I do (apart from disconnecting the battery) stops it, even then, once the battery is back in it begins looping again...

You don't need to reboot to fastbootd, and you can't apply ADB commands either, because your device doesn't allow it due to random reboots and due to USB debugging is disabled right now.

Not true, this is the whole idea of this kind of tools either through SP Flash tool or Infinix tool you just have to GET device can be detected, this tiny portion of time will be enough for the tools can start its job, once the tool started the device get attached without a way to get out of it. To achieve this, prepare ALL that you need for tool to work even press flash/download, connect device with PC and apply the right combination key,
Prepare device manager on Windows and check which status of connection it is passing through to better understand which mode is lacking of.

Well, if you interrupted the process, that's not good at all. The only you can do is keeping trying it, if your motherboard was not damaged.

Question Stuck in dm-verity curruption screen

Hi all,
my wifes phone was stuck in a bootloop at the MIUI logo (phone is full stock original, no changes at all).
All options with the buttons (rebbot,safe mode, wipe all data) did no work. Battery drain also not.
I tried to reboot via "Minimal ADB an Fastboot" and since then I get the message -> dm-verity curruption on the POCO Screen. If I press POWER within 5s, the message disappears and phone is stuck on the POCO screen forever, not even booting to the MIUI logo anymore.
I tried to flash the exact same version of the recovery ROM that is on the phone via MIFlashPro -> did not change anything.
Is there a solution to flash the original firmware to the phone? Like a "full reset"? I am able to enter the red FastBoot logo with the buttons.
Thanks for every help

Yes they do. I enable it as soon as I get any device. Multiple years before I rooted. Why wouldn’t I .
They're trying to flash stuff, so asking if the bootloader is unlocked is a reasonable question. But to answer your question, most users don't enable USB debugging. MIUI warns users that it's a bad idea, which is enough to put many people off, and this is sensible if you don't need to use it as it's a security risk (see this paper for some clear examples).
