[Q] a special kind of bricking ...

ok, i think i've managed to brick my zte blade in a really special way
I used the custom image to flash it to CM7.02 which worked fine. Phone was up and running and working.
Flashed clockworkmod in the rom manager. asked for root permission so said 'yes' and it flashed it seemingly ok.
so thought "ok, i'll use the rom manager to try the swedish springs" rom.
flashed it, the phone rebooted and got stuck on the green android. and stayed stuck.
i've powered it up with the power and volume + keys pressed - get the green android.
i've popped the battery, counted to 5, done the same thing - green android
i've popped the battery, counted to 5, powered on with the volume, power and menu key pressed - green android
i've taken the SD card out AND the battery and plugged the USB cable in - I rather bizarrely get a green android
i've popped the battery, replaced the back cover and just plugged the USB cable in - green android
i'm convinced i've properly killed it .. can't seem to do anything to get it in to recovery or to get the PC to recognise it so i can adb or fastboot ..
please help
EDIT:
To add to that, if i pop the battery and hold the VOL - button down, then plug the USB cable in the device manager shows up ZTE Diagnostic Interface but fastboot still gets stuck on 'waiting for device'

umm...errr...okkkkkk .....
i popped the sd card and battery and powered on with VOL - down. it totally randomly started installing the USB drivers. installed the correct drivers but then nothing happened.
pulled the cable out and put the sd card back in, put the cable back in with VOL - held and god only knows how it booted into clockwordmod
i've now mounted the sd card so i can maybe go back to the CM7.02 image ..

the phone is alive .. copied the image and re-flashed it, booted back up and it's living again .. phew !

[HELP] Restoring of brick Huawei U8800

Restoring of brick Huawei U8800.
All do at your own risk! I am not responsible for your machines!
Today I was able to magically (just wonderful, because it found the time at which there is a chance to run the update) to recovery from a brick Huawei U8800 (corrupted bootloader + recovery not run + in a pink screen not mounted hard drive + when trying to update the written Update failed! I spoke to a service center, they said the warranty is not the case and we must change the motherboard (the cost of 3-4 million BYR, new at the MTS salon cost 2.9 million BYR )
What and how I did:
1) To restore I'am using the firmware B162 Android.
2) Format the micro SD card that was clean (I was 8 gb, 2 class and be sure to FAT 32) and unpack "dload" folder and ".txt" file(with a strange name) from the downloaded archive to sdcard.
P.S. I say that not all flash drives can operate restore, I have like three went, normally only one.
3) Insert the micro SD into the phone and pull out the battery.
4) Hold down the Volume (+) and power up, hold and connect the phone via cable to your PC, your phone will be switched on and the logo appear, then turned off my phone (missing logo). So, when the logo will disappear (ie the phone will turn off) and immediately hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and power up.Main that the updating process can start only one time after the logo was gone, if after a few times in a row press both the volume keys and power up, updating does not start, it is necessary to re-clamp the volume (+) and the power up, after the disappearance of the logo, both the volume and the power up of ... I have to go to the upgrade process if you wrote "Update failed!", try again (I went with 2 times).
5) After a successful update, the phone will reboot, on reboot he should loaded the standard blue recovery.
6) Turn off the phone from the computer, insert the battery, hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and turn on, wait until you get a pink screen, release the button and connect it to your computer. You should see a new device and to define a disk drive with a folder "image". If we define - rejoice!) If not, then you need to install the driver on the internet enough to the driver, as well as the wood in my going to the Android SDK, not sure ...
7) Thus, we can assume the phone repaired) Download recovery 4.0.0.5 and unpack the archive and copy the file "recovery.img" to a folder "image" with the replacement. A man does not 4.0.0.5 recovery loaded, it is strange, but recovery 5.0.2.7 normally loaded
8.) Disconnect the phone from the computer, pull out / insert the battery and try to enter the recovery (volume (+) and power up).
9) If set, then everything is OK and can now be sewing. I still put 2.2 Geno v8.4 + software package from Google, but I recommend again read all instructions on the firmware, to avoid problems!
Good luck, hope that helped someone, he sat on the forums more than one day, but have not found a solution.
If someone has turned out, a sign of gratitude you can throw money on my phone +375297176005 (MTS, Belarus), would be very grateful
P.S.
Instructions is my and it's my first, that do not copy and paste, you can search the Internet. Do not judge strictly, if something is not designed ...
If there are people who helped, I think you can throw his hat in the description. My message is also present in our 4pda.
Hope springs eternal
Sorry for my english, I'm from Belarus and bad know it

Just thought I would mention it, if you connect the pink screen to Ubuntu/Linux, it will most likely mount.

Just tried this recovery method on a bricked U8800. Didn't do anything at all. Must admit that it was bricked in a way that i didn't see anything at all on the screen. Neither did i notice anything in dmesg on a linux machine.

Help

[Q] Huawei U8800 Pro Hard Brick

Hello, Guys, Its my first post here, so i allready sorry for my bad English.
I have a big problem with my phone, the this is that when i try to turn it on huawei logo appears and after ~5 seconds it dissapears and nothing happens, phone just turns off. I also cant get acces to CMW. Al i can do is to go to pink screen mode. I also tyed to put dload folder with updates to sdhc card, but when i am trying to load i with 3 buttons combination (VOL +- + power on button), pink screen appears... What should i do in this situation? Maybe anyone had faced this problem, and how have you solved it?
Again sorry for my poor English , and thanks for your help

Looks like your boot and recovery partitions were messed up
Can u access ur fastboot mode?
If u can, try to flash a cwm recovery image using fastboot mode
Sent from my HAL

I cant acces anything exept pink screen. When i put dload folder to sd card update also doesnt start. Is there any way to acces internal memoty through pink screen?

Fastboot (or bootloader mode) is the one that stays (in ur case) at the huawey logo until it receives a command to reboot. Using it, adb and a pc, u can flash img's to the internal memory (among other things)
Try pressing and holding for 2/3 seconds this combo
Hang up button + power
Sent from my HAL

As i said before it doesnt help. I cant acces CWM. (bootloader)

Sorry, i was thinking on other phone. The pink screen is ur bootloader
Try this
" Installing ClockworkMod on the Huawei U8800
1) Extract the recovery.img from the zip file. 2) Turn on your phone while holding VOL+ and VOL- (should come up with pink/purple screen) 3) Connect to computer. 4) Go to My Computer and Browse your phone to find the folder with recovery.img in. 5) Replace the recovery.img with the one you extracted from the zip file.
Or this onehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14870348

Tryed both. Same problem persists

just in case you can´t get it fixed,
see my sig.....

i do have the same issue, please someone help me

[Q] bricked, black screen, no pink screen, only vibrates

after a lot of fail attempts on flashing different roms and a lot of research, i found no way to unbrick my phone. so here are the simtoms :
1. the phone does not boot or load anything when i put the battery and try to start it normaly(it only vibrates).
2. i have tried already V+/- buttons + Pwr on button for pink screen etc. but no response from the phone.
3. i plugged the usb cable without the battery and i pressed the same key combo but still nothing, it only just vibrates.
4. i used a FAT32 2GB sd card with the dloader and i pressed the V+/- + the PWR on button but the updater never showed...
so i am still a bit confused of how can i fix this kind of brick....
extra info :
1. used to have stock rom, froyo but i cant remember the version...
2. twrp 2.5 not sure about the version
3. the pc recognises the phone as: Ideos USB Device (info from USBDeview)

bump up

How you bricked it would help a bit to troubleshoot.

I think I bricked my P10 Lite. Need help please

I was messing with my P10 Lite and I accidentally wiped the Vendor partition (not sure if I wiped anything else) with TWRP. After the phone rebooted it said something about a critical error during boot and went into erecovery. It gave me two options( I don't remember the second one) and I chose factory reset. It started doing it's thing but I guess something went wrong because it wasn't able to boot and it started to bootloop.
I managed to get into fastboot once. The bootloader and FRP should be unlocked but I am not sure as I think I semi accidentally used the command to relock the bootloader in the hopes of it doing the automatic low level factory reset. After that restart, the phone wanted to boot up but after the Huawei logo it went into the EMUI logo which I've shown in the pictures. Now I can't use any button combination and can't enter any menu. I also can't shut down the phone as it bootloops into the EMUI logo after I press the power button. I opened the phone and turned it off by detaching the battery cable but after holding the power down key and plugging the usb cable into the phone it still boots into the EMUI logo right after the Huawei logo.
I guess not being able to enter fastboot is the major issue and after hours of googling I am yet to find a solution.
Edit: I am a newb!
Please help!

Why did you delete the vendor partition, you could try plugging the phone into your computer and checking if you can do anything with fastboot while it's showing emui logo?

Dload method. Put sd card in other phone or some card readers and put appropriate files.

I've already tried that. I've placed the appropriate files into my SDcard but I can't use any button commands including volume up+down+power. When I press them my device just boots into the EMUI logo and nothing happens.
Edit: It boots into the EMUI logo even if I only press the power button. Pressing volume down + usb also boots me into the EMUI logo

I measured once and not trice before cutting... I was also not paying enough attention/in a hurry...

Power OFF the phone.
Press and Hold VOL Down and connect the phone to PC via USB cable. The phone should boot into Bootloader (fastboot mode). Does this method work?
or try this:
Press and Hold VOL Up and connect the phone to PC via USB cable. The phone should boot into eRecovey mode and then then select "Download latest stock rom and install".

Ok, it seems like not all is lost about my phone. I managed to get into fastboot. In my situation, pressing volume down + usb cable while the battery was plugged into the phone did not work. That was before I opened up my phone's case and disconnected the battery cable.
As I mentioned before, I had opened my phone and disconnected the battery cable because that was the only way to shut it off.
What I did after I disconnected the battery cable was the following:
1 - Hold volume down and don't release it
2 - Plug in USB
3 - Plug in the battery cable into the phone's mobo.
That booted me into fastboot. Right now, the phone says my bootloader in unlocked and my FRP is locked. What would be the best way to flash the new stock OS on my phone?

I have downloaded THIS and THIS for the new OS but by talking with Alexxxx1 in THIS discussion I learnt that Huawei has implemented a security patch in their latest update, which I've most likely installed, that prevents you from rolling back your OS version. That means I need to install the .386 version, which should be the last if I am not wrong, instead of the .378 correct? Though I heavily dislike patches like this I guess I can't do anything about that...
