I Think I Bricked My 8125

I was installing a new rom and my laptop shut down at 98% done. Now my 8125 will only come on in boot loader. PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP
Try to reflash your current ROM, start the flashing thru the Bootloader Screen..you're still lucky you still got the bootloader UP.Hehehe
Goodluck
I'm trying that. it started to work once but then my fing laptop shut down again at 98% again. I think there is something with that rom. Now I'm trying to flash with original rom but it is telling me that it is not connected now.
Ok, try to re-download the ROM installer again..if still fails, try to load the ROM thru MiniSD, that would be the last option you got if all still fails.
ya u can try to download also a dif rom installer or try it on a dif computer

I don't think you're in the bootloader mode when you try. The screen should be three colored and when connected to USB it should say USB at the bottom of the screen.
As mentioned before. You get to bootloader mode by pressing the camera button when turning device on.
OK, I think there's been a miscommunication.
1.) Download the RUU
2.) Get into bootloader mode (You get to bootloader mode by pressing the camera button when turning device on.)
3.) Connect your phone to your Laptop or PC
4.) Execute the EXE ON YOUR LAPTOP OR PC and follow instructions.
That's what we're trying to say. Hope it helps!

Remove your battery. Reinsert you battery. Holding camera button press the On button. That should put you in bootloader mode. Everytime I've been this bad (and it happens every so often with the weird ROM's I screw with) I have to use the 1.05, nothing else works.
Good luck!

[E612F][CM10.2] problem with CWM recovery

Hi guys,
I recently installed CM10.2 on my E612F but I have no longer access to CWM recovery. I reinstalled it but still doesn't work. I tried either the "reboot recovery" in terminal or pressing volume down+ power button. Does anyone know how to fix this ? thanks

to access the CWM you have to hold down volume up and down, home button, and power button. once the phone vibrates once, stop pressing the power button. keep holding the other buttons until it goes to CWM.

Okay cool.
Open ODIN, connect your phone and tick the box next to AP/PDA (Depending on your ODIN version).
Click on AP or PDA and select the recovery I'm about to send you.
Press 'Start' and wait for it to finish its process.
If you are successfully able to boot into TWRP try Wipe>Advanced Wipe and deselect all apart from Data (This will erase all of your settings and app data).
Try to boot your phone!
If that doesn't work let me know I have a flashable zip you may be able to use.

I don't quite understand what you mean?
Just flash the recovery through ODIN and let me know if it's working.
Don't forget to boot the phone with Power, home and Vol+ held down to access recovery (After you've flashed TWRP)
And sadly I'm at work at the moment so I can't access Skype.
I will be on here frequently as you can tell so I'll reply as soon as I recieve notifications.

Sorry!!! Forgot to mention, pull battery and put it back in and power it on using Power + Home + Vol Down
You should see a message asking you to press the volume down, press it and then you should have entered ODIN/Download mode. Try ODIN then.
No matter what you have flashed you should always be able to access Download mode.

Try charging it with the phone off and try again. (Using an AC adapter)

Okay Ill give it a quick charge for 15 minutes. I dont know why it keeps shutting off, i dont think the battery is drained as the phone can turn on multiple times
Yeah I know what you're saying. I believe the batteries actually have leftover capacity to help stop it discharging low enough to kill the battery

Cant enter fastboot & recovery

Hello,
When I want to enter fastboot with vol down + plug usb in, phone goes to offline charging (light grey battery appears then goes to charging animation)
Here is what I did:
- Unlocked fastboot
- Fastboot flashed latest recovery from twrp: twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img
and now I cant enter recovery nor fastboot. The only thing I can is boot to Android, but it is locked. Any suggestion how to enter fastboot?
Now I can enter fastboot, but still cant enter twrp. Flashed different images, no change
EDIT: By holding vol up + pow button I enter Huawei eRecovery with options reboot, dowload new version and recovery and shutdown. What does that mean?

For entering into FASTBOOT mode you must have a USB cable plugged into a PC. To enter into TWRP, after flashing it you must write te command fastboot reboot, unplug the cable immediately and hold the volume up button.

Did like you said: flashed recovery then rebooted and immediately unplugged usb and started holding vol up. Phone was showing boot logo and rebooting itself. If I left finger off button, phone booted to OS.
IDK what I'm doing wrong here. BTW I'm using this recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img on https://eu.dl.twrp.me/grace/

So you are on Android 5.0.1, then you must find a compatible version of TWRP which has to be older than 3.0.0 or you can update to Android 6.0 with HiSuite, Firmware Finder via the eRecovery.

Quite an old version, latest Stock ROM is build 399 AFAIK, I'm running it and phone is very stable, fast and good battery life.
IMHO well worth upgrading to it.

Yup, now phone has been backed up and updated to B370. Got some issues with updating to B399. Maybe was only bad download. Will check that link.
Thank you for support!
