Unbricking JB to ICS downgraded hardbricks

Downgrading from JB to ICS through RSD Lite making nice bricks with black screen and flashing green light. Here is my unbrick method. It has only been tested on phones with unlocked bootloader.
I DO NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING! USE THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1. Connect your brick to PC pressing the camera button.
2. Run xFSTK-SoC-Driver-Setup-1.0.3.exe and follow the instructions.
3. Run unbrick.bat.

does someone tested it successfully?!

I'd love to know who figured this out and how it works exactly, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth!
This is great.

I've figured it out by myself when I've bricked my own phone. I've started to search how to deal with the MEDFIELD device and have found some licked Intel software. So I've played with it a little and have gotten some results.
Here is the software:
rghost.net/44421368
XFSTK Downloader is a real piece of gold. It comes with the SDK and contains the documentation.

Finished with "Service Required Code Corrupt" any idea ?

Thanks for the great tool! This rescued my phone one time!
Now, after I tried to restore from a Nandroid backup, I also get this strange error message "Service Required Code Corrupt".
Is there a chance to rewrite the tool, so that it can unbrick my phone again?

i have the same problem
"Service Required Code Corrupt"

TWRP for the Find 7a didn't work on the OPO. That was the first thing Dees_troy has me do It did boot the recovery, but the touchscreen didn't work. Dees_troy put together an img for the oneplus that works (I have it, but he hasn't released it yet AFAIK)
OP: I will test and let you know.

It doesn't boot when flashed.. When I try booting it, it fails as well (I can boot twrp) You are missing the dtb
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)

ROM for the P8?! is it possible???

Hello Everybody,
I am an owner of Huawei P8 and have some experience on root and flash . Now I asked but firmly the garkein Custom Rom there for Huawei . What do you think will be this as it may do in the near future a little ? Otherwise I probably made ​​the wrong decision .
What I find very impressive is that there are several custom ROM for my Xixoon , and that was a really cheap China phone .
Best Regards from Germany

Hi, I like the overall speed of this ROM. Thanks.
I only have an annoying problem: when I clock the Home button to wake up the de vice it takes sometimes about 10 seconds. Randomly. If I click it twice it wakes up immediatly.
Anyone else has this?

I also look for a custom rom, something like CM12 or other thats close to "stock" Android.

Help needed P8 bricked following OTA update
Firstly sorry to post in this thread but I don't appear to be allowed to start a new one. I need help, I took an OTA update this morning on my GRA-L09, it was about 108mb and I think it was to update to B161 but I might be wrong on that. Update downloaded OK and appeared to install OK as well but on reboot its stuck on the Huawei logo and no matter how long I leave it wont go any further. I can get into recovery (stock) and factory reset but this doesn't seem to function properly, it starts to countdown the %age completed but when it gets to about 10% it jumps to complete and invites a reboot but that just takes me to the logo and no further. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted but I didn't think that would be a barrier to accepting an OTA. HiSuite doesnt recognise that the device is connected and I'm stumped. Can anyone help me out of this mess?

Try this one

What you can try is : get into bootloader mode, or recovery. Try to do adb reboot fastboot, and flash TWRP, do factory reset from that. If that doesnt work, you can get a friend who has P8 to backup via TWRP and restore to your device?
I can look into the exact commands in about 10 hours
Main focus : try to get into Fastboot mode, and flash twrp (if you know how to)

Since its german instructions, I need to backup my rom, Factory reset, copy the file to sdcard, then flash from sdcard?
Flashed TWRP and now it isnt booting to system or bootloader -_-
What caused it : I used ADB reboot recovery... What now ._.

If its only reboot to twrp you need to turn off your phone.
If you dont have a update.app in your dload folder please press vol+ and vol - and your power button. Then its reboot into recovery and there you can boot system ..
Its a twrp bug

After almost 2000 posts to your credit and being on XDA since 2012, everyone is probably confused as to why you're asking and why you haven't tried already.
If K1 is not a locked bootloader, like we've now seen with the COJ5, you should be able too.
I've never seen anyone post not being able to flash back to an older modem. Unless it was user error like picking the wrong one, for a different phone.

I'm just too afraid of permanently damaging my phone.
Numbers do not matter, I still learn. Sure, I know more than someone new to the community but that doesnt change the fact that I dont know everything.
The person right above you has problems with his phone now. I'm just trying to prevent that from happening to me too.
Anyway, if I flash the COJ5 bootloader, there is no going back?
