[Q] Bricked Phone

I bricked the phone.Anyway, how i did?
1) I flashed B526
2) i edited cust.img but even they are same size, i couldn't copy new to /.cust_backup folder.So i deleted the original one.
3) i thought, i should give a try to Aurora 4.03 from dzo
4) I got into recovery, wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache etc.
5) I couldn't install it, anyway then i thought i have to flash B526 again
6) But it stopped around %50 and it said "update failed" but i started the phone, 2 times.
7) With root explorer, i got into /.cust_backup folder but there was only amss.mbn, cust.img with higer size, emmcboot.mbn and boot.img but there wasn't any sign of recovery.img
8) I tried to copy 5.5.0.4 recovery file but there wasn't enough space for it so i deleted cust.img again but after i deleted it, "there isn't enough space" said root explorer nothing changed
9) i deleted amss.mbn, managed to copy recovery.img
10) Restarted phone but then i realized i can't get into recovery mode or start phone normally.
11) Because Huawei blocked bootloader mode, now i have a bricked phone.I tried 5 or 6 times flashing stock rom but update failed again and again
12) Packed up the phone, will send technical support tonight.
- I tried flashing without battery
- I tried mounting with ubuntu
Nothing changed
Any ideas?

Already sent.Thanks, who helped me and who wanna help but couldn't do it

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: (thread is from anzhi,only copy the download url.)
115,com/file/clyzgmw1
(replace " , " by ". ")
Click the "电信下载“ right besides the red link"VIP ...."
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

Hi, Thank you for this, gonna try it now
Hope it works.
*EDIT: I'm having a problem downloading this file. It is extremely slow to download and once downloaded it is corrupt. I've tried 3 times now. Any chance anyone who has downloaded could upload it to a European or US host?
Thanks in advance.

at last step, that you will return to WM and nothing happened,
that should be wrong shipped ROM that you install,
please check your IMEI number at HTC website
and download the right shipped ROM again.

it could be long (10-30 mins), depends of your sd card.
Maybe your sd card isn't very good and not compatible with android.
Try to format your sdcard or try another sdcard

Thank you mystikal for everything i switched the sd card, copied the rom and it worked perfectly :beer:

When flashing my smartphone I get an error (S_DA_EMMC_FLASH_NOT_FOUND)

Can I copy the scatter.txt from RC5 to whichever ROM i want as long as it is for the same phone? Basically I have the RC5 but I experienced that the battery is horrible so I wanted to try a different newer OS. Somehow there is an error installing via TWRP the other roms I have in zip but flashtool works fine. These files do not have a scatter-file though.

Thank`s for the instructions
I will thank for the instruction, because I breaked my phone while trying to flash madOS 8.1.0 (update from april). Before my Jiayu S3 basic (16 GB, 2 GB) worked fine with madOS 8.1 from 2017-12-30. I surely made a big mistake, therefore the phone was dead - no reaction any more.
I found this solution to flash back the stock rom 5.1.1 with twrp. Phone is alive and works.
I think, I have done a big mistake, because all trials to flash madOS 8.1 from april ended with boot into TWRP. I tried flashing to madOS for a long time, isn`t possible any more. Maybe also my old phone has a failure.
Therefore I have to thank for Your excellent work. Thanks.

Hi!
I'm trying to flash my S3Adv. (3GB RAM, Kitkat, TWRP 2.8.4.0) with madOS_8.1.0_s3_h560_20180422.zip, but, the "Zip signature verification failed". Before, the MD5 sum is checked and matches. I also checked the file with "zip -T" on my Linux machine and it reports "OK". When the "Zip file signature verification" is turned off, TWRP reports "error executing updater binary in zip ..." What's going wrong? Anybody here who can help?
Thanks in advance
Frank
Nearby: I wiped system, dalvik, cache and data.
Solution:
- Install Flash Tool
- Flash Android 5.1.1 (RC5_S3_16GB.zip)
- Start 5.1.1 to do a basic configuration
- Boot into TWRP recovery which was included in RC5
- Install twrp_20180417.img
- Boot into TWRP recovery
- Install madOS_8.1.0_s3_h560_20180422.zip
(a full wipe is, may be, necessary, but, I don't know, when the full wipe should be done within my procedure - I did it earlier)

During testing when I flashed back to stock b164 I used unmodified Ssu beta 3 for rooting, there is one user in Ssu beta thread who has problems with latest beta on his p10. What kind of modification if I may ask?

huawei should have a cross development forum thread like sony devices, it would be easier to find relevant information, I have to flash back to stock and root with beta 3, I don't remember any problems on my side, he has problems with security(pin code, fingerprint).

Hi There.
Succesfully installed. I have issues with the Gallery.. If I open it it says insufficient storage space....
Also MiXplorer shows what looks like encrypted folders in the Internal Storage section???
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you format your data partition before you flashed this?

Pretty nice
So it seems that installing and flashing Huawei devices is quite the hassle.
Issues I currently experience on this ROM:
Cannot open Gplay not opening.
Plugging in usb cable into windows or linux doesn't get recognised.
I will update with more details later today
update:
reformatted /data /system and reinstalled, no more issues!
Rom works fine, as fine as could be expected of a rooted stock rom.

Here is a script for L09 User.
Just install Rom and Data Files from start post and then this zip file.
Its untested because my tester have only L29 devices. But it should work.

Hello
How i can activate voLTE?

Added Magisk Version.
Have fun.
A very big thanks to @funiewski for a lot of testing

Have installed and all is working great. There's only 1 issue that I'm facing. The first time I change my wallpaper on the homescreen, there are many lines that will appear on the wallpaper. Anyone facing this? The lockscreen and app drawer area is fine. Anyone can advice? I would prefer my home screen wallpaper to be clean.

Yeah that was it... Figured it out myself... Realised I missed something somewhere.
So far the Rom is running great!

When I open Magisk Manager and try to install Magisk, I get an error that the zip file could not be extracted.
Any ideas?

Check the MagiskManager Folder. Is there the zip?

Can extract it as well with Mixplorer.
Should I flash the zip via TWRP?
