[help] Buying a bricked tf300

Hello guy,
I have the possiblity to buy a tf300 wich is bricked. And I would like to know if someone could tell me if it's fixable.
The guy says that he unlocked the bootloader, apparently it worked fine and the he flash a TWRP 2.6.3.0 then it went bad. He says the tablet is directly booting up into recovery (at least that's working) that TWRP says "Omb" whatever that means and that he doesn't see any files into recovery, only folders and subfolders (isn't supposed to be normal, I mean doesn't the recovery only display .zip files ??). He says volume down + power doesn't work, adb gives a " protocol failure" and fastboot is waiting for device (but I'm gessing it's normal since he can't boot into menu obviously fastboot is not working).
So what do you think is it fixable?
Thanks

the guy gave me 2 images of the recovery:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Apparently the password asked on the screenshots is here because the recovery can't mount the storage partitions. Clearly he flash the wrong recovery. He says that he can't get fastboot because he can't install driver (something I could figure out how to do ).
My last question is, will I get fastboot in this recovery, dispite the storage not mounting and the incompatibility?
if yes then I can do a "fastboot getvar all" to get bootloader version and flash the right recovery? What do you think??
thanks

that has append to me couple of times( i think 3 -4 times actually) , if you are confident you can get fastboot and ADB working should be really easy to fix. but ull have to flash ASUS blob file then start over like if it was a new tablet

Yeah I ran into that bug personally and I fixed is in less than 5 minutes with the right setup. Of course, it could be a different situation but there is the chance that it is easily fixable.

Sadly the guy allready sold it. Thank you guy for replying

You put the wrong version of TWRP on your tablet probably? when you restart and it boots into TWRP, on the starting screen you should be able to use fastboot.
---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------
When it happened to me, it was a bootloader and TWRP conflict: I flashed the jb version instead of the -42 Version. to fix it, I did fastboot reboot bootloader and then got back into android and flashed the correct one from Terminal Emulator. Or you could just flash it from there.

Problem after flashing rom..Soft brick ?

So here's what I did: I had already flashed this bugless rom on my lenovo a6000 (was running stock lollipop before) . However,rom caused heavy games to stutter,so I decided to install update8 version.
I installed new twrp 2.8.7 and apparently it said something about partition,which I ignore and went back to menu.I wiped system,data,dalvik and cache,then flashed gapps and rom.Then,I wiped cache once again and pressed reboot,and then phone got stuck.I believe the problem is with twrp..
After that my phone gets stuck on lenovo powered by android screen and my computer/adb doesn't recognize device. Help please ?? :crying::crying:
P.S. I can get into fastboot mode..
EDIT: SOLVED!!
Here's what I did wrong: I flashed update of rom after deleting system and data,instead of flashing it over rom.To solve,go to fastboot mode,install drivers of lenovo adb,then enter cmd,and boot recovery.img

fastboot is all you ever gonna need
I see you have tried twrp 2.8.7.7
So give cwm a try
http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/j9lHGdJf/file.html
After you extract this cwm recovery.. Paste it in minimal adb and fastboot folder
And then "fastboot boot cwm.img"
Make sure you rename the cwm image first
And then you can try flashing the cm12.1 zip
Most of the a6k users are using twrp but for me cwm always gets me out of a situation like yours

Doesn't work.Installed drivers from xda,then ran adb and typed both 'fastboot devices' and then adb devices.
Both didnt work,shows nothing
A small confirmation,fastboot mode is where it shows lenovo powered by android and then underneath its written "Powerkey long press can reboot phone" right ??

Im able to get into twrp from time to time,but I dont seem to know the accurate button to press.Help please ???

You dont have drivers correctly installed

Why are you trying to reboot..?
Since you've cleared your /system you phone is stuck into bootloop
And adb commands wont work until you choose flash zip from adb sideload

Can you tell me the exact error being shown on your pc
It could be driver signing problem or os compatability
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------
And yeah....if you have figured to get into twrp recovery
Then put cm12.1 zip and gapps zip in your internal memory
Boot into twrp recovery
First clear cache, dalvik cache, system, data
And then flash cm12.1 and gapps zip(s)
You dont need a pc for that

I did that but doesn't work.... Getting into twrp works one in 25 times or so,even then re-flashing the roms did not work.As for the driver installer,it loads infinitely..Maybe the roms are corrupted ?

How Im gonna be able to help you if you dont tell me what exactly is your problem
1) tell me what error twrp is showing and more accurately, till which step are you able to follow
2) with pc thing...whats the error...there are only two errors usually. First, when you click the setup it says OS is not supported or second, it says installing drivers for the device and then after a while drivers could not be installed

Let me restart from the beginning.The whole problem began since I flashed new twrp.You see,entering recovery is tough(When I press volume plus+volume minus+power button then release power when logo is shown)works only once every ~25-30 times or so.After entering TWRP the first time,it showed something like unmount partition or something shown in this video at 4:16.Then
,I wipe system,data,cache,dalvik;then I flashed rom and gapps,then wipe caches and reboot.I have done this same procedure twice. Third time,I did the thing in the video then wiped caches,system,data then flashed zip files.Then I rebooted.[Everything is succesful up to this point] However,when I rebooted,it got stuck on boot screen again..
At first,your driver installer recognised my device as lenovo a6000,but got stuck while installing.
Now(after a few reboots and trials to enter twrp),my device is recognised as 'Android' device only,and your driver says 'no device found'
....I'll attach screenshot..

Well, install the drivers which i told you to in the last post. Open fastboot mode on your phone and then type "fastboot devices". There you will have your device listed.
Then flash the recovery which you want by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where recovery is the name of the recovery image and which you have to place in the adb and fastboot folder, before flashing

No. Type fastboot devices. Adb is used when phone is powerd on and usb debugging is enabled.
Go in fastboot mode by pressing power button and volume down key. Then attach it to pc and do the steps stated in previous post.

it seems to be Solved :laugh:
but with a bit trouble ..
first: i used HuaweiUpdateExtractor to extract all files inside, then, did 3 orders on fastboot . . ( flash boot.img - flash recovery.img - flash sys.img )
phone booted on 3.1 Emul with alot stopped functions ( wifi, sim card and so on) finally made a local update using app file stored in SD card for "B560" .. phone started correctly but there was a problem with WIFI wasn't stable .. connect and disconnect !

How To Recover from Hard Bricked ZUK Z2 (PLUS)

Hey guys... Well I was one of the flashaholics who went ahead and tried to flash some custom roms and ended up bricking my phone which was completely bricked (NOT even FASTBOOT!) and after loads of googling I was able to get my phone working again.
WARNING
Your device is already bricked and if it goes worse than I am not responsible for it. Do at your own risk.
Requirements:
1. Windows PC with driver signature disabled.
(i). Press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard and click the Restart button.
(ii). Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click the Restart button.
(iii). When your computer restarts you’ll see a list of options. Press F7 (the number may change on your pc) on your keyboard to select Disable driver signature enforcement.
(iv).Your computer will now restart and you’ll be able to install unsigned drivers.
2. Drivers
(i). ZUK USB driver
(ii). Qualcomm_QHSUSB_driver
(iii). ADB & Fastboot drivers
(iv). QPST
3. QPST Rom
(i). INDIAN ROM
STEPS:
1. Install the ZUK USB driver downloaded from above.
2. Install qpst downloaded from above.
FOLLOW THE ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS. IF IT ASK TO DOWNLOAD C++ REDISTRIBUTABLE THAN DO IT.
3. Extract the ROM on the root of the C drive.
4. Restart your PC and open QFILClick
(i) Select "Flat Build" and "Browse". Now navigate to the extracted ROM/Firmware, and select prog_emmc_firehose_8996_ddr.elf.
(ii) Select the "load xml" button. This will appear a new explorer. One of them will be needed to navigate to the file rawprogram-flash0.xml the second one will ask for patch0.xml .
(iii) Turn your phone off. Now press and hold the volume + button, while pressing the power button for 0.5 seconds and plug in the USB cable in the same moment. If it was successful your phone should appear at QPST/QFIL and you are able to press the download button. Press the download process and wait to finish.
if it fails, In QFIL Change
"Device Type" to eMMC
"Validation Mode" to 0-No validation
"Reset after Download" no needed to tick (optional)
If your phone is not detected in the QFIL then,
Close QFIL
Right click on my computer and select MANAGE, then select Device Manager
See if your device is connected as Diagnostic Port 900E
If it is shown as “QHSUSB_BULK” under Other Device
1. Right-click on QHSUSB_BULK and choose “Update Driver Software“
2. Now click on the Browse button and locate the extracted Qualcomm QDLoader drivers.
3. The installation process shall take place immediately and a system notification will appear. Just choose “Install this driver software anyway“.
4.Click the Close button and check back at Device Manager window. You will now see “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM10)” under Ports (COM & LPT) section.
Now start QFIL and press download.
DONE!!

same here.i was on custom rom and insatlled zui2 2.0 and my phone isnt starting. only zuk symbol coes and goes.

I'm having trouble, my zuk z2 is stuck with relocked bootloader and custom recovery
I can boot to fastboot mode, reboot in EDL mode and I've had many tries to flash a new stock ROM but none progress so far
And I get Firehose errors when trying to flash a QFIL stock rom
It means my phone is hard bricked but is there any solution to that or I'm bound to buy another cellphone ?
BTW my sister has the same phone as me, is there any way I can use her phone as a backup ?
Much appreciated for the tips and help

Boot into recovery n flash other custom roms n after booting u can goto stock rom , if u dont know how to just msg here

How should I proceed to unlock the bootloader once again ? I tried the fastboot mode but I've seen failures until now
I had bricked my phone when I still had access to TWRP recovery, probably with a stock - modded rom (the indian one I believe) and after that everything went down.
Thought locking the bootloader would allow me to get back to another stock rom but now I can only get to the phone through fastboot mode or 9008 COM port

Go to twrp
Advanced
Adb sideload and connect it to the pc
Now dowload update.zip from zuk development or xda development
And copy the downloaded.zip to adb directory
Now type the command adb sideload update.zip

It seems I need to use adb but I have the adb drivers installed, my device in fastboot mode is not listed when I use the "adb devices" command
I cannot access to the USB Debugging option either because my phone is bricked

I figured it out, installed a chinese stock rom which made my bootloader set to default
After that I unlocked it, installed TWRP and I successfully installed Lineage OS
My Zuk Z2 looks completely different now

my phone was bricked , i flashed zui 2.0 , 2.3 and 2.5 with QFIL but steel bricked so i unlocked my bootloader again and flashed TWRP but i can't even enter recovery mode i got black screen with white LED :crying::crying:

Huawei P9 Lite Doesn't Open

hi guys i'm using Huawei P9 Lite PRA-LX1 (in europe VNS-L31,i guess)
i installed Elite Rom v2.0 to my phone. sounds are gone.
i had bootloader, twrp and root
after that i installed L31C432B130.zip via update menu(power+volume up+down).
installation completed sucessfully. phone restarted yourself.
after that phone didn't open
i lost my screen, twrp and bootloader menu.
phone doesnt react to my key combinations (power, power+volume up, power+volume up+down vs.. you got it.) i lost my everything. just staying working sdcard in my hand. and a defective phone.
last one when i connect my phone to computer with cable, comes a sound from computer. when disconnect or when i press power key on phone for a long time comes a sound too. still working, charge is full.
All my impressions are that's it. how can i fix it?

Can you get to fastboot ? ( connect the cable to the pc not connected to the phone yet , then when you insert micro usb into phone , hold volume down button )

I don't know the screen isn't the problem. Try to flash boot image etc now

I have your same model. Your device has bricked because you've forgotten to flash the oeminfo before flashing .zip .
Now, you have to enter fastboot and try to flash the twrp 3.1, that support Nougat, then flash the oeminfo. If you cannot, unlock your bootloader again. You can also try to flash oeminfo using the toolkit, but it's more difficult, because you can't open your phone.
Flashed oeminfo, update your phone with the stock b150-b160 UPDATE.APP using dload method.
Reboot and enjoy.
Warning: flashing oeminfo will relock your bootloader

Try other recovery, because is the easiest way. Have you tried Revolution recovery? It works with no os.
