So my roommate got a KF yesterday for $80, handed it off to me to root and ROM it as I'm very familiar with rooting, etc on my Android phone (Droid X) did some read-ups, rooted using KF Utility, installed TWRP, all went without a hitch. Had put him on CM7 barebones, he didn't like it and wanted ICS, so I installed Energy. Seemed to be running good, besides the usual ICS KF things I'd read (hardware accel, etc.) dropped it off with him and left for work.
He left it on the charger overnight last night, brings it down to my room this morning, and it won't turn on. If you press Power the light will stay on for about 2 seconds and go off, screen doesn't even flicker. If you have it plugged in to USB (either computer or stock charger) can't get it on at all, power light doesn't even flicker when already plugged in to USB and trying to turn on. Not even KF screen or the yellow triangle. Just nothing. If I press and HOLD power so the green LED stays on, and THEN plug it into USB, the green LED stays on without me holding power. Its the only way to get it to do it. Alas, still no screen. Tried hooking up to KF Utility, device not recognized, all boot options fail (fastboot, etc.)
Any ideas?

Did you try to press the power key for about 20 - 30 seconds and then turn it on again?
Same thing happened to me, same rom. Just turned off like that when I unplugged the charger..
I just held the power button for like 25 seconds and it restarted.

Sound like you have one of two problems. Either you have a bad TWRP installation or your bootloader has failed.
First make sure you are in fastboot mode (i.e. fastboot idme 4002) and try installing a different recovery.img
fastboot -i 0×1949 boot WhateverRecoveryYouAreUsing.img
I suggest using ClockworkMod but that's just my opinion. If that doesn't work you may need to reinstall your bootloader.
You can get a new bootloader here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369405
unzip the u-boot.zip and place the u-boot.bin in your working directory (wherever you are running fastboot from) and type:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader u-boot.bin (Windows)
./fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader u-boot.bin (Linux/Mac)
see if that works for you
edit: oh and change bootmode back to 4000
Posted recently as my Nexus 7 seemed to be bricked. It seemed hopeless as it was a competition prize and i had no receipt of purchase and it seemed that the factory warranty had run out. nVidia the competition sponsor I guess bought a shed load of them and then handed them out later.
Anyhow, after seeing repeated demands that I use the original charger (which was a US charger and as such not compatible with 240V power in the UK) I finally decided to try it. I remembered that i had bought a transformer for a guitar effects pedal so I plugged that in and the charger into that and then the Nexus 7. Still no joy. However I decided to leave it connected and let it charge over night and the whole of the following day.
This evening I forlornly tried to boot the unit and HURRAH! I got the Google logo.
I waited for the animation to start for Android....
And I waited.....
And I waited a bit more....
Nothing. It seems stuck. I then powered it off by holding the power button and it turned off, only to immediately turn on and stop at the Google Logo. The only way to stop this was to get into fastboot mode (Power and volume down pressed) and cycling to power off and hitting power again to execute.
So I thought I could get somewhere.
However I cannot get it to go properly into recovery mode. I get the bootloaded screen where I can restart the bootloader (which does just that), power off (which also works correctly), Start (locks at Google Logo) or recovery mode (which also locks at the Google Logo)
I cannot get to the screen with the image of the Android with the red triangle and the exclamation mark.
The bootloaded screed says the following:
FASTBOOT MODE (red text)
PRODUCT NAME - grouper
VARIANT - grouper
HW VERSION - ER3
BOOTLOADER VERSION - 4.23
BASEBAND VERSION - N/A
SERIAL NUMBER - 015d2d422357f20b
SIGNING - not defined yet
LOCK STATE - LOCKED
I have the SDK loaded and I cannot get the "Fastboot devices" to work. I previously sideloaded KitKat onto it so all the drivers are installed. I cannot get my PC to see that there is anything plugged in to the USB port. I think i need to get to this screen so that I can initiate a total system restore don't I?
Also the system heats up like an oven when it is locked at the Google logo.
I have repeatedly tried to get the drivers installed and have yet to get the PC to recognize the device. This is really wierd as I had used the adb to sideload KitKat onto the device.
Shortly after the sideload and a small 1.5Mb OTA update it went on the fritz. It would do absolutely nothing. After an extensive charge on the original 2A charger I can get it into Fastboot. However the fastboot sometimes freezes and I cannot get into Recovery Mode. Whenever I try to hit the power for recovery I get the Google logo and that's it. Have tried numerous presses of Vol-up and Power but no use.
It seems that there is something that the unit is trying to process and cannot get past that point. What can I do? I seem to be in driver hell. I am totally Stock. When the system was last operational USB Debugging was switched on. I don't care if I have to wipe it flat, I just want it working again.
Help please!!!!!!

You can fix the sticky bit issue pretty easily through another fastboot command. The command is: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear - Check out this thread for all the details. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41706009&postcount=2
Alternatively, a full reflash of the firmware generally fixes the issue.

Can you connect your phone to a computer and see if adb/fastboot still senses your device, or whether your device still shows up (or reports as a Qualcomm HS-USB)?

Hmm, so you're not getting anything showing up in Device Manager (like in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/help-xt1642-hard-bricked-help-t3498943 )?
I am not familiar with the procedure of how to unbrick a device like this, vache has uploaded a blank flash file (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70701015&postcount=1975), I hope someone else can guide you on the procedure to unbrick your phone if you need such a file.
Sounds crazy, but push the power button for 2-3 minutes.... Dont know why, but worked for me in the past.

thankyou it worked perfectly
The same here after update!
I have a Moto G4 Plus, Product: athene_16mp XT1644 64GB P2A
Since last update (Nouga) my phone doesn't pass the bootloader screen. Connected to my PC, only fastboot commands works as adb don't see it. The recovery mode is dead, every time I try to enter it says:
Failed to validate recovery image. Error: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot. Boot up failed.
I searched the forum to find the original rom image but as I didn't Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer, I can't install any image from there.
Any help?

If fastboot still works, perhaps try this fastboot Nougat image, see if that'll flash? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/android-7-0-install-nougat-official-t3531612
It requires you booting into bootloader (so power down your device, wait 5 seconds then hold the volume down and power button, should then boot into bootloader), so it might flash a working recovery and system onto your device.

I believe there are two possible reasons...
Either 2-3 minutes forces a fully hard reset.
Or
If you have a really really flat battery sometimes as it charges and then boots up it gets stuck in repeated reboot since effort to boot drains more than it can charge in that time, so holding power button holds boot sequence long enough for battery to gain enough charge to allow boot to work..
Both are just my opinions so might be completely wrong
I think it's Option no1, because in my case the battery was nearly full charged.
Nevertheless... One guy happy to have helped, the other guy happy to have reanimated his phone:laugh:
Hey guys i really need your help, i decided to unlock the bootloader of my phone, and so i did without any issue, the phone opened and worked completly, so i wanted to relock it and so i did also without any issue, but i wanted root again so i tried to unlock it again with the same Code with the official unlocking way, but this time the phone have been stuck and red led notification blinking everytime i put in on computer.
If i plug off the power source and try to open the device the red light blink very fast and there is a charging symbol on the screen but then dissapers instantly and nothing the phone turning off.
I cannot enter on recovery or dload, anyone knows what to do? The PC cant recognize the phone if i plug it.
Here some video to check the issue, please turn on the subtitles because im speaking Greek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTkx0ifNhg4

Huawei is one of the worst companies i ever saw! Their phones are so easy to brick and they can't be fixed!
Wait until the battery drained and phone shutdown, connect charger again and wait for 5 minutes , it will turn on in erecovery , shutdown and redo fastboot etc carefully.

Dissconnect the usb cable and hold the power button. When it is just about to reboot, plug in the USB and hold the volume down button. This should take you to fastboot OR to error mode...
-------
Huawei devices aren't easy to brick, but recovering the devices is a pain... I hard bricked my device as well a couple weeks ago..
I have tried to wait for the battery drained completly and if you plug the usb while the phone is off the phone is powering on automatically and stays to the "Your Device has been unlocked"
Also with the same method before i plug in the usb i was trying to hold the volume down button and plug it in but it didnt happend it is booting on the same thing.

pls clear actual screen position of ur fone, unlock screen titled as fastboot and rescue or yellow text with black background.
chances are there u get fastboot connection by turning off mobile by power button hold for 7 seconds and phone turned off wait for a while ensure no USB cable connected to phone. then press volume down button and conect USB cable, you will see fast boot and rescue screen. now issue command fastboot devices. if u see ur devices serial number there then follow further fasboot procedure mentioned in other threads,
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system.img
above files may be obtained by extracting update.app for ur phone stock image by huawei extractor. you have to work for 2 days constantly for unbricking phone. I have gone through all these processes last week.

Hi, I have a similar problem: "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". I cannot enter fastboot nor with the two buttons method (power + volume down) or the three buttons method. I messed up with the EMUI, I guess. Infact, I unlocked the bootloader, relocked it and tried to unlock it again to flash a custom ROM. The first time I unlocked the bootloader, I tried to install TWRP but something went bad, I do not remember what, but I decided to relock.
Now I am stuck with this message. But....sometimes, I can't understand WHEN, I can enter my phone Last time it was when I tried the above solution (only volume down and usb cable, without the Power button). When the phone turned on, HiSuite recognized "a phone" was connected because the software turned on, but it couldn't really see it. I went into the Developer Options on the phone to turn on OEM, but it was grey and I could do nothing :crying:
Full of hope because the phone turned on, I then tried to flash the content of the SD Card (where I put files extracted with the Huawei Update Extractor) by holding the three buttons (power + volume up + volume down), but again it appeared the "your device has been unlocked" message.
Now the phone is off. Once, in the meantime, it appeared a red flash on the screen for one second, I am not sure it is related to the battery, it doesn't display a battery but only a flash.
I cannot enter fastboot in any way, I cannot flash from SD card, sure I cannot rollback because it implies flashing.
My only hope is some command to be given when I can enter the phone. Anyway, I sent it to repair (not official, I have obviously no guarantee anymore) and they sent it back to me: they didn't know what to do.
Any idea? Thanks a lot!
PS: I will read your replies as soon as I can but I have very variable ad unstable working hours!

I think the red light blinks cause you are critically low on power. Leave it plugged in. Ignore whats on the screen just leave it plugged in for a few hours and leave it alone.

Same here with a BLN-L21 (Honor 6x)
The phone will not charge with this method. Try to let it plug one night, and no charge !
@Meticulus this was the question felix ask you: is uboot (booting with sdcard) is possible ?
Fixed for me with buy an honor 9 ... but investigate to revive my honor 6x.
For now i have maybe found how to shutdown phone, to charge battery (with shurtcut two point in motherboard) but don't know if phone charge for the moment because there is no light
Solution for the moment but difficult AND / OR expensive ....
1. Remove emmc and repair it with a JTAG box.
2. Try to boot with uboot (but probably won't work)

Its not actually mine and it was long time ago, but the owner told me that he unlocked bootloader with the official way, relocked, and then he unlocked again the third time the phone died.
Hello.
me too, he does not want to do anything anymore.
he only knows this '' your device is booting now '' screen with the red LED flashing.
whatever I do, it always starts on this screen. I think you have to change the motherboard.
Do you know where to find it at a reasonable price?

I fixed mine today. I just had to wait for 5 hours for the battery to drain. then when it shuts off i waited 10 min. after that i started the phone and i let me choose to continue to the phone.
I dunno if you have the exact same problem but thats how i fixed mine.
And after that i tried factory resetting (cause bluetooth and NFC didn't work) but then it got stuck again. so i waited it out and it worked once again.
Too scared to do anything to my phone now :/

Stop buying huawei phones if you are into custom roms or root. They made the phone easily brickable and they removed the bootloader unlock site due to some stores installing malware into phones. But hey, they couldn't simply do what Xiaomi is doing eh?
