Hi, I think this is my first post here. Anyway, here the question:
I have an Ideos X5 (not pro), it is bricked. So far, I have followed instruction for recoveries from several threads, but none of them worked because in my phone:
there is no boot screen
there is no pink screen
there is no logo
there are no images of any kind (screen wont even turn on)
it only vibrates when I plug it into my computer
Also *sometimes* the buttons light up and when this happens windows detect a new USB device, but after I while it dissapears again. Also, this happens only with the battery on.
The phone became bricked after I followed instructions to revert back to froyo from gingerbread (wifi wasn't working). All roms were originals from Huawei.
So, any suggestions??
Thanks in advanced.
I had a problem like you.I have deleted amss.mbn file because Huawei locked pink screen, it was bricked But i wasn't so patience enough, i sent my phone to technical care.But here are the answers, try it with caution:

Hi
Space is not enough to flash any ROMs;
Bootloader is locked,you could not edit that sector.
So is there a special ROM that is very small and allows to edit the bootloader?
Here is the MINI ROM:
http://www.mediafire.com/?7c33h84a974va28
Flash it than edit the bootloader~
NOTICE: I format the whole sector ,and the file including IMEI was missing
'Cause I don't know how to edit recovery or other system files like .mbn,
so just delete the abnormal big file and you would be able to flash any ROM s

Yes!!!! My phone works"!!!!!!!
Ok here's what I did
Download mediafire.com/?1hbk6n46hgamyt6
Unzip it, and find UPDATE.APP
Put UPDATE.APP in a dload folder and upload to empty sdcard.
Put sdcard in phone, and hold vol+/- and power and flash it.
After phone has restarted pull battery.
Download http://www.mediafire.com/?6hrfz36b8e2vw87
Unzip and copy the dload folder to empty sdcard.
Hold vol+/- and power and flash it.
After it fails near the end or if it restarts then pull battery.
Download a rooted boot.img and a clockworkmod recovery.img (got both mine from links at modaco)
Attach phone to PC in pink screen mode and delete the boot.img and recover.img files.
Upload the downloaded root.img and recovery.img to image folder in phone.
Download any custom rom from XDA, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475687 and upload it to sdcard
Pull battery.
Hold vol+ and power and go into clockworkmod, wipe everything and flash the custom rom!!
Good luck!

Tried taking off the battery for 10 seconds and after that inserted USB into computer (without battery)? Also try to take off battery and insert USB to wall-charger.
The buttons lighting up could be our way out, but if it only stays there for a couple of seconds it doesn't help. Can you see what Windows detects?
Hi again,
thanks for answering.
None of your suggestions worked anyway, because it won't even load anything from the sdcard, it just makes a short vibration and nothing more.
I managed to get the lights on again, but windows didn't show what kind of device it was, maybe because it's already installed but I'm not sure which usb device is it (windows did make a sound though, like "device is connected" sound). Also I noticed there's a red led blinking near the speaker, does that mean anything?
Anyway, tried to flash while the lights were up but it did nothing, and after two minutes the went off again.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
I connected the phone to my laptop with ubuntu, and despite I cannot do anything with the phone, there are two devices created in /dev: hiddev0 and hidraw0. Is there a way to flash the device using any of those files?
thanks again.
Worth a try on this post : Here
It is fried then
Try mounting those two devices, is there any file system recognized? It might not be bricked, but this is an issue probably nobody has had yet. Send it in for repair if it is still within warranty.
Important question: How did this even happen?

Hi,
thanks for all the help.
Sadly nothing works with this phone, I tried mounting and dd from the devices but nothing happens.
I guess I'll send it for repair (hope it's still within warranty)
Anyway, thanks again for all the suggestions.

Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem.
I had an old Oxygen (?) 2.3.? but wish to upgrade to ICS so after installing the 'official' 2.3.5 was following steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728.
I got up to the bit about installing Clockworkmod. When I tried to go into recovery mode for some reason (I must have screwed something up) it went back into the Firmware update (presumably because I still had the sd card with the 2.3.5 updated on it). It gets through the first step of the update but when it goes to start step 2 it comes up with 'Update failed'.
If I remove the sd card and try to start up normally I get the blue screen.
I can get to the pink screen but I'm not sure what to do from there.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
H.

Thanks for the suggestion. How do I see what is missing? I have tried various USB drivers but so far haven't found one that will mount the device. Do I need to use logcat with adb?
Any idea why it will no longer allow me to simply reflash the stock rom?
By the way, the device is the standard u8800 - not the -pro.
Cheers,

Not in blue screen, you must go to pink screen mode(by pressing vol+/- end power when the device is turned off). There you'll be able to see the folder with the system files on pc.

Now I'm confused.
When I connect the phone to my Windows computer (tried XP and 7 in both pink and blue modes), the device does not register. Windows detects the new device and asks for drivers. I have tried different ones but none that I've tried so far will see the device. If someone could give me a link to drivers that definitely work I would be most grateful.
Like I said in my original post, if I leave the SD card in it tries to do the firmware upgrade but fails. Is there no way to 'reset' the phone somehow so that the firmware upgrade will go through? Perhaps downgrade to an older version first??
Thanks,
H.
There is not blue screen mode. Blue screen just shows that the system files don't exist. If recovery image doesn't exist you get a blue screen when you try to reboot to recovery mode. If you cannot boot normally, probably boot.img is erased(or maybe all system files which are on Image folder are erased).
Also if you had flashe an official rom version higher of B518, you probably have a locked pink screen, so it doesn' t matter if you have or not drivers because you cannot access the special partition which has the Image folder with all system files anyway.
Now, if the update proccess of official rom stops or second step(after unpacking proccess), probably a partition on the device is corrupted and the update cannot write to it. There is a special update, which you can flash with the same way as the official rom(put it on dload folder), and maybe can solve the problem. I' ve posted it on another thread here before some time. The filename is: update-160up
try to search the forum and hopefully you will find the thread(which has some isntructions and comments also).
You can try to flash a 2.2 official rom also. Maybe the update will succeed then.

Depending on your model you need to restore its pinkscreen stock files. The boot.img will fix the bluescreen. Heres oxygen's boot.img. Mount via usb to computer*

Hi,
I have been successfully running Android 4.4.2 rooted on my tablet Lenovo Yoga for a while (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59609647&postcount=178 ).
Yesterday unfortunately, the tablet is stuck on boot.
Turning it on, it displays LENOVO logo on the screen but then the logo stays there and nothing happens.
(I left the tablet on for more than 15mins, nothing, only LENOVO yoga always displayed on the screen).
Turning it off and connecting the usb cable, the tablet screen wakes immediately up and displays always (no animation!) the battery icon with the red lightning inside.
I can access recovery mode and wiped cache, then rebooted, still same problems.
Any help? What could the causes be?
Thanks a lot.
UPDATE: I tried a factory reset but I problably switched it off before it was completed (the screen was dark - not sure).
Now it boots, it shows LENOVO logo, then the android robot with ERASING... and after a few minutes it reboots and it's stucked in this loop (LENOVO logo -> android ERASING -> reboot)...
How can I fix it?
Can you get a copy of the original ROM and flash to the tablet,using something like this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

I managed to download B8000_A422_000_085_140402_WW_WIFI rom but this is a folder (not a flashable zip file via sdcard) that has to be flashed via Smart Phone Flash Tool software.
I tried to use FlashTool, but FlashTool does not recognize my tablet (drivers should be OK) and therefore install the rom or do anything on the tablet
Do you know where to find a flashable zip rom for Lenovo 10 tablet so that I can try to flash it via sdcard?
Cheers.

Thank you everybody, I managed to install 4.2 Android stock again, then update to 4.4.
A hint if someone will have my same same problem (pink lines but no yellow bar in the flash tool, so the flashing process did not start).
I solved it by pressing once shortly the power button on the tablet (then the yellow lines appeared and the flash process began and completed successfully!).

[/COLOR]Bumping an old thread rather than starting a new one, because this is exactly what my tablet started doing. I only use it for reading, so when it first started acting up I tossed it on the shelf and figured I'd fix it later. Now I want to read, and I find myself digging around in here. Apparently I'm to stupid to follow the directions for any type of flash involving my computer SP doesn't show me the scatter file I need in my firmware directory. I'd really love to just toss this onto a micro SD and flash it the old fashioned way! Barring that, some dummy proof instructions. I haven't flashed since my old S5, and this device is even older than that so I should be able to get this done. It's really annoying me that I can't. TIA for any help.
Unfortunately my Lenovo Yoga, after 4 years, died... :'(
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77996238&postcount=61 for details.
If anyone has a solution please let me know, tx a lot!
So yesterday I got a notification for an OTA update (I'm on sprint). I am rooted, have xposed, and have twrp installed. Partly because of my stupidity and also just to see what would happen, I clicked download and install now. Now the phone doesn't show any signs of life, even after taking out the battery and trying to drain the capacitors by holding down power then putting the battery back in. Doesn't show up on my computer when plugged in, and doesn't have any power led when charging. I've tried 4 batteries with it (lol I have too many) and they all don't work. They were all charged with external anker chargers. I've tried with the sim card and sd card taken out, too.
So yeah, my phone is dead and I have no idea what to do. I'm pretty sure I'm out of warranty because it's been two years and I've modified it.

Hey, thanks for the help. I'm not sure how to check if my device is hard bricked? Is it normal for there to be no signs of life at all, not even power LED or vibrations? I can't get my phone to the download mode in order to show up in odin so I'm not sure how I would flash the unbrick file. When I plug my phone into my computer windows says that the device has malfunctioned and I can't find it in the device manager.

It's worth to try it i think. Some users got back their phones to life using this method. @RDChase is offering you a debrick.img for your variant. This method is using sdcard so no worries at the moment with Odin
Similar thing here, Sprint, TWRP, rooted, stock rom one of the early ones v4.4.4?!
Over last couple month it kept trying to update itself at night, very sneaky!!!! I have disabled auto-download and update BUT clearly it found a way around it, bastards!
It was in a reboot loop, extremely hot and buzzing, woke me up in the middle of night, I thought it going to burst in flames like Note 7!
So I pulled the battery out and left it out till morning, but now it no longer powers up, no LED, black screen, PC keeps saying USB drive malfunction and un-recognized, can't put it in recovery or download mode! Odin doesn't detect it also. PC device manager doesn't detect it either! Used volt meter to check both batteries both are fully charged up, but it doesn't show LED charging light?!?
Is there any way to un-brick it?
Again, I repeat phone does not power up and PC doesn't detect it!
Please help, if I can't un-brick it than I have few days until end of year to catch deal on upgrade to LG V20, hopefully it can be un-looked and rooted????
Edit: Just read online there is possibility that Note 8 is coming out either in April or Early August 2017!!!!!!
I need my Note 4 working again and last until new Note 8 comes out!

Will mounting De-Brick.img on sdcard even work if phone doesn't power on or go into download/recovery mode?
Yes. Instead of booting from internal memory, the cpu will boot from the external sdcard. Make sure you prepare it correctly however. The sdcard must be the 32GB+.
Take a look at this.

:good: Thank you for debrick.img was looking for Sprint one everywhere!
Is it supposed to be 128mb or around 4Gb?
Debrick.img doesn't includes stock Rom, does it? If it does which version?
Next Steps:
1. Copy debrick.img to sdcard?
2. Put in sdcard + battery +press VolDown+Home+Power?
3. USB connect to PC + flash new Rom using Odin?
4. Root again?
Is this correct way to do it?
Has it worked for anyone?

I'm confused, I correctly mounted the image to the sd card and I put it on the phone with a fully charged battery, and tried booting into download mode thru home + volume down + power. it doesn't show anything on screen or any LEDS. it's connected to the computer but it says "usb device malfunctioned". Thanks for your help
I can't get into download mode even with the unbrick sd card in, I mounted it with win32DiskManager and everything. No charging LED or screen or vibration at all.
I installed qualcomm drivers and it shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"
After some research looks like this is the only method that would solve my issue.. problem is that nobody has released the files needed to do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/unbrick-samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910w8-t3249970
Edit: Would a USB jig help me?
dead4ngel - to permanently fix it, just Odin the stock firmware
Others - I wasn't clear in how to prepare the SD card.
To prepare it properly you image the SD card with the debrick image file. This has to be on a 32+ GB SD card. (On a Linux machine where your in the folder with debrick-n910p.img is located and your SD card is /dev/sdx the command is dd if=debrick-n910p of=/dev/sdx)
You then put it in your phone, boot to download mode (it may take a few tries), then Odin a stock rom (PH1 or PK1 only) which MUST contain the bootloader
After this you don't need have the SD card be prepared like this, your bootloader will be fixed

:good: Again thanks a lot for debrick.img it worked, you saved my butt!
Here is what I did to make it come alive, it did take couple trial and errors on my part.
Warning DO NOT copy & paste image file directly onto sdcard, it wont work!
Instead use the diskimage win32 software that was mentioned in Debrick thread before.
I used it to unpack and write file from debrick.img onto 16GB sdcard (only one I have) using that little piece of software.
I plugged in sdcard + battery, than pressed power button and phone came back to LIVE:angel:
Now it is back in my original KitKat Rom v4.4.4 still booted from sdcard, I was able to transfer all my documents and photos to my PC, thank God!

Now for next step to flash new ROM using Odin, do I have to flash original KitKat 4.4.4 or Lollipop 5.11 recovery or can I just flash stock Marshmallow 6.11?

Before you ask for things, LOOK FOR THEM! I want YOU to find the link, This should help you.
Hello everyone! I have read almost a hundred threads and discussions about unbricking P9 Lite and none of them was my case. I have unlocked my bootloader and i can tell that by seeing the warning from huawei which says my device is not safe.
Okay, but the case is phone is stucked at Device is booting now and i dont have nothing to pick from because people can choose wrether to press power and continue to boot or hold volume up to go to recovery. But i can`t get anywhere because the phone just go straight to Device is booting now. I can`t get to fastboot, adb, erecovery, recovery or any kind of option instead of seeing Huawei logo when powering up and Device is booting now right after it. No sound from laptop when i connect usb and holding Volume down + Power. Nothing.
Any help would be really appreciated.
have you tried turning the phone on WHILE pressing those keys? volume up + power for recovery, or power down + power for fastboot?

Well, i updated to Nougat B336. It went all fine but it was slow. So i decided to downgrade to MM using oem-info after that flashing middle package and then MM. But in order to install these with Revolution Recovery you have to change data partition to f2fs than back to ext4 and then format data in order to be able to mount data. And then phone got bricked without any idea why. And then i tried numerous firmwares, extracting update packages flashing boot,cust and system. None of them made it. I had access to fastboot, recovery and emui recovery but recovies from huawei did nothing but to stop at 5% with package errors. Even ones from Huawei official website made exactly for VNS-L21 Dual Sim. The last thing i decided was to flash TWRP Meticulus because i thought partitioning will be better than Revolution but when i flash it i lost every access to this phone. No fastboot, adb, recovery, erecovery even dload\update.app on SD Card doesnt work. :good:
Drained battery in order to somehow make it to fastboot. No success. Even then when holding Vol+ + Vol- and Power i got to No battery symbol. When holding down Vol- + Power i got to Huawei logo and then straight to Device is booting now. If i just leave it as it is it goes to logo than Device is booting now... and nothing happens of course. Huawei got one of the worst support pages after Lenovo maybe. They are just useless

Well, previously i always got in fastboot when i`m connected to HiSuite and click on Restore device (Not supported model for restore! Blaaa) but now i can`t connect even when i`m there. Can someone send me only the usb drivers for the VNS-L21 because i don`t have trust to this HiSuite thing? :highfive:
C`mon guys give us some ideas. I disassembled this little beast take off battery put usb in my laptop and then boom same thing. Huawei logo straight to Device is booting now...
You have to install hisuite because it needs the right drivers to run. Moreover it is a good indicator to know if there is a link between them.

Yes, i do know it and yes i do have it installed. This was the first thing i did when i bought this phone. I reinstalled it and it does not make any change. But i think there`s something not exactly right with the connection between the app and the phone because there`s no sound when plugging the phone. That`s a pretty solid clue that something is not right.

you could've flashed oeminfo in revolution recovery and then use the update.app of mm, no need to format the data partition.
have you tried booting to fastboot while connected with usb? and if you check device manager while connected, can you find your device in there?

Yes, i tried it as i said in the previous replies, no i can`t see it in device manager because Windows doesn`t recognise it when i plugged it to the usb ports. I say doesn`t recognise because there is no sound when the phone is being connected and i hold whichever combinations there are for VNS-L21. Thank you for your suggestion if you have any ideas i will appreciate them :highfive:

As i said i`ve read a lot of posts and comments of random users of P9 Lite and all of them doesn`t work for me. We need something out of the box, because i think this is not something you see every day. And it will be usefull to everyone who owns P9 Lite. :good:

did you check device manager itself? no sound playing doesn't mean the device isn't showing up in device manager, it is possible it shows up but isn't recognized. if device manager doesn't list it i haven't said anything
Used another pc

I`ll try another PC thank you for that advice. Well last time i checked device manager and nothing showed up even after scaning for changes nothing shows up. Interesting part is even without battery when usb is plugged in there`s no connection between PC and phone.
Can be battery and empty.
Connect it to a wall socket for 2 hours.

Nope i tried it. Doesn`t work. Another pc doesn`t recognize it too. Same thing. Can`t get into anything just logo and then Device is booting now. I`m starting to lose hope.

I hope not to say stupidity.
So it makes see huawei logo. So it boots.
I think you deleted something at system.img.
So you have to take your time and make it go to fastboot and install recoverynougatb9, flash system.img b336, make it start again.
After an update, I get an error message... I restart the tab, and shows lenovo logo with an orange progress bar, that interrupts before ends.
Now, The screen is totally black, pc dont detect the tab... If i long press power button I get a vibration fro tab, and the led of power button light for a few seconds, then nothing.
I try to boot in dnx mode, fast boot... all things, nothing. Black screen
some advice?????
thanks
Please see this guide I wrote some days ago at https://forum.xda-developers.com/th...mprehensive-guide-to-lenovo-yoga-tab-t4082253
Even if you can't see in your screen you are in DNX mode, you may be there, and you only need to be there for seconds. Follow the instructions for flashing firmware using the Intel tool. You may need to come back to Lollipop, but that is a good start.

Ah... I haven't wrote about it but some devices (even some Lenovo ones) can pull an update.zip file from an external sdcard. You can research about this update method since they don't require a PC connection, other than that, consider going to tech support.

The update.zip file method just needs to detect the SD card and pull the update file. I did not wrote about that method and above all, is not mine. It's just an idea for you to explore, I wouldn't know if it will help.
