[Q][SOLVED] Bricked ZTE Libra

Hi! I have a bricked ZTE Libra (Sapo A5 in Portugal) and no mather how much I search for solutions I only seem to make things worse, so I was hoping someone here could help me.
Things started to go wrong after flashing a CyanogenMod rom. Everything worked except two things: I couldn't use anything that required my SIM card (so no phone or messaging) and I could not access the recovery screen (clockworkmod).
Without the recovery screen, I turned to ROM Manager but since it uses clockworkmod to do its work it didn't help.
Then I started trying other ways to recover my phone, until I tried ADB which allowed me a shell in my android. But then I broke it all by doing "wipe system" which cleaned my system of everything that was still working and left me with an expensive brick.
Now all I can do is boot until I see the green droid. If I don't press the volume buttons it goes into "device" mode and I can see it listed under "adb devices" but have no idea what to do with it.
If I press the volume button down to go into recovery mode it keeps flashing but never really goes anywhere.
If I press it up to go into the bootloader it stays the same and the only thing I can use to tell me something is different than the normal mode is that lsusb reports the vendor as "Google Inc." instead of what it reports in normal mode: "ONDA Communication S.p.A.".
With this I'm not even sure if I can get to the bootloader or not, but even if that is the bootloader, I have no idea what to do with it that might help me recover my phone.
By the way, I'm trying all this on Linux, although I could try solutions in Windows if required.
Can anyone tell me what can I do in this situation?

Ok, maybe my first post wasn't that easy to answer, so I'll make a simpler question to see if someone can help me.
What can be done at my android's bootloader? What is it for and what tools do I need to use to do it?

You could try installing ClockworkMod recovery using wbaw's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257 Once that's installed you should be able to flash a new rom with it.

In bootloader mode you can flash a new kernel or recovery image using fastboot.
If you follow that guide that I wrote & Amphoras linked to then you should be able to get a working clockworkmod installed and then you can use that to flash a working rom, or restore a backup.

Thank you both, I'll try what you said as soon as I can and then I'll let you know if it worked!

Ladies and gentleman, today a miracle happened, my ZTE came back from the dead!
Apparently the problem was that I installed some GEN2 applications on my GEN1 model.
I found this while reading the tutorial you suggested, after which I upgraded my ZTE to GEN2 which allowed me to slowly recover everything else.
So, I have to say, thank you very much, and I hope I won't need your help again anytime soon! xD

[Q] S4 stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" logo

Hello guys,
Previously, i tried to root my S4 and somehow it failed. I got this error message like "Super SU binary not installed.." I wanted to get rid of supersu in the system because it is giving me problems like my wifi cannot enable anymore. So, i performed backup and reset option but the supersu program is still inside my phone. i then tried to play with the recovery mode: "apply update from external storage" with the file - I9505_Omega_v3.0_XXUAME2_md5_05D08D598EF1873761CFF710BB628B25.zip, "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", etc. After i performed them several times, my phone now is not booting and only stuck at Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" logo.
i've been reading several forums and most of them are saying that Flash ROM is needed. Therefore, i tried to download I9505XXUAME2_I9505OLBAMDM_SIN.zip from samfirmware.com but before the download finishes, my pc is showing me error message against this file and thus, the download is unsuccessful! Im running out of solutions guys, i really appreciate if you could help me.

What phone model do you have is it SPH-L720? Or the European version?

ODIN

Head over to http://galaxys4root.com
They have a lot of useful tools and youtube videos on how completely restore your phone to stock.
What I would suggest is to follow the method listed on this site under the "GS4 stock firmware" tab.
To do this, use ODIN (which is a leaked software from samsung used to flash firmwares to devices) to re-flash the firmware to the phone (recovery and all)
THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE!
It sounds like you don't have any acces to the phone, so I'm sure that is the least of your worries.
Use either this site or the sam firmware website.
CONFIRM WITH THE LABEL UNDER THE BATTERY FOR YOUR DEVICE MODEL NUMBER
You MUST use the correct firmware, otherwise you will run into problems like this.
Once you have the odin, drivers, and firmwares downloaded, run ODIN (with admin privileges) and select the firmware that was downloaded for your device for the PDA section.
Unplug the phone from the computer, boot into "download/odin mode" by starting from the phone turned off, turn it on, but before pressing the power button, old the home and vol down buttons, then power button.
Once you see the download mode on the phone screen, and the odin software recognizes it, there will be a button on ODIN that says "flash" or something to that effect.
Let the software do its thing and you should be good to go.
If you are using a windows PC, you need to make sure you have all the drivers, if you are using a mac/linux machine, there is a program called "Heimdall" that is an open source, cross platform version of ODIN, but I personally haven't had any luck with it, and I resorted to dual booting my mac with Windows 7.
If you have any questions feel free to reply, as I pretty much always have a phone/tablet/computer in front of me and will be able to see your reply quickly.
Good Luck!

[SOLVED] Please help me guys, phone won't boot up

Hello everyone, I am hoping to get some help here as I think I really screwed up my device... (D802 International variant, 32GB)
I try to describe everything as detailed as possible:
I was on the newest Cloudy G2 2.2 ROM with KK basband and it was working fine.
Now I wanted back to crDroid so I decided to put a backup onto my phone (of crDroid) and restore it. (I overwrote the .twrp file in that process)
I must have forgot to wipe before restoring the backup and now after the LG boot logo an error message in the top left corner appears stating:
"boot certification verify"
Secure booting error
cause: "boot certification verify"
Seriously guys, I don't know what to do. I tried to enter download mode but windows did install the drivers and gave me plenty notifications of formating drives... I am really lost. Please somebody help me if possible...

Enter Recovery mode and reflash...

Thanks for the reply but recovery mode is not accessible anymore. I've basically tried every button combination and I am not able to enter download mode either...
EDIT:
I fixed my phone! For everyone experiencing the same issue here is what I did. Please read the OP for a detailed description of the problem:
At first, watch the beginning of this video and check which type of brick you are experiencing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I
If you checked and you are a person having to deal with the quSUSB_BULK type of brick read the following post and watch the following video for clarification on what to do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d5b_osUTug
After following the steps you should be able to access download mode and following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476) you should be able to flash the respective firmware for your device.
I hope that this tiny little guide may help someone and thank you for any support.

Lenovo A6000 Softbricke​d---- Needs some help--Plea​se

Please note that I have done search and tried various solutions before starting this thread :
Hi My A6000 phone got factory reset and then I tried to recover some lost pics...but I was advised that my phone needs to be rooted first, so the software opened kingo root soft, It showed me the message that phone has been rooted and when it rebooted there was a notification of software update which I said ok and ever since then the phone is stuck on system recovery mode (not sure if it is called soft brick or not) and I have tried many things including choosing all the options starting from reboot system now, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update from sdcard but nothing seems to work!!! oh I for got to mention on the top of the screen it says Androoid system recovery <3e>Kraft -A6000_S035_150507 and then gives all the option and i have tried this following :
https://boycracked.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/unbric​k-lenovo-a6000/
but some how for the first solution it keeps on saying download failed, emergency recovery download failed...anyways it does not work
I have also tried this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/unbrick-lenovo-a6000-plus-lenovo-a6000-t3137247
but it has ADB killed (tried looking and installing adbfixer solution--it says it cannot finf adb.exe even though it is there)
Is there any soultion to this!!! Please help if there is one!

the link from boycracked (mentioned above )actually worked the trick was to hold vol up+down key (while the phone is off) and then insert the usb into your computer, secondly my computer kept of saying that qualcomms --digital signatures not verified and the port is supposed to be Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 where as mine showed up to 9091, to solve this I uninstalled the drivers and then disabled digital signatures (use goggle how to disable signatures verification on whichever windows you are using) and it worked fine. Thank you all

install cwm
Install cwm from pc and then try

Use HW flash tool
Even my Lenovo a6000 plus was bricked. But mine is more complicated than your's.
I've installed CWM recovery before. But unable to access it, atleast native Android recovery either.
"Rev-app" folder from "System" folder were deleted unfortunately. I couldn't even wipe, hard reset or anything.
After a long struggle, i've found a way out. I've came across a Qualcomm flash tool "HW OneKeyDownload Tool".
And finally, i won on it!
Download it from here: docs.google(.)com/uc?id=0B3qYFBKKL2hieDM1RUNMQWRsSHc
You need to have:
1. Mobile drivers installed
2. Universal ADB drivers (That ZIP will have it)
3. Stock ROM or any custom ROM
See this post on AndroidXDA for more info:

Recently I was tried to update mobile firmware (latest Kraft-A6000-S_S014_150730) by OTA update (via system settings->about phone->system update), that time my mobile was soft bricked like above you said. I downloaded firmware and installed then some time after got some options menu. And I attached that problem as picture.
Before that I rooted my mobile using KINGROOT apk v4.0 , there after I did unroot again using in the same app.
I thought unrooted mobile does not affect by system update (any firmware or OTA update by LENOVO). But unfortunately my mobile got problem.
I didn't took any backup before that. I don't know anything about CWM backup and all. I know only the root and unroot using KINGROOT app.
I need to recover my mobile back or tell me how to install LENOVO A6000 PLUS stock ROM or any other way is there tell me to solve the problem. Please guide me step by step process or any video link there it was little better to understand for me.
Please help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks.

Attach the device to PC through USB cable and Install the CWM through ADB .
Install the Stock Kernel through Update Zip option within the CWM.
That will freshly installs the Android OS.

Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 1050F - Boot Failed. EFI Hard drive

Flashing Stock ROM failed.
Now won't boot of course, nor I can access fastboot. It's gone.
After turning Tablet on shows: "Boot Failed. EFI Hard drive"
and straight after that: "Boot Succeeded - Enter Setup"
Then BIOS like or actually BIOS shows - Title - VALLEYVIEW CO PLATFORM...
How can I fix fastboot? Or Droid Boot? I didn't even know I had BIOS in background?
I guess all blame me because I had Rooted... Is it trashing Tablet next step? Cause I couldn't find anything. I just wanted to go back to Stock ROM.
Anyone saw somewhere how to bring back fastboot? Or make it boot-able anything useful?
In that BIOS there is Boot Manager option and offers
- EFI Hard drive - Device path : PciRoot (0x0) /Pci (0x17, 0x0) /Ctrl (0x0)
- EFI Internal Shell - Device path : MemoryPapped (0xB,0xFFF50000,0xFFF8FFFF) /FvFile(C...
Can I somehow go somewhere from here?
Device Manager
Boot Maintenance Manage - has option Boot From FIle
- Boot Next Value... I'm lost.
I'm browsing that bios all possible ways to find something useful, but with no success.. Please help.
EDIT1: I find out that holding Power button and BOTH volume keys will start FastBoot - But mine stucks on "FastBoot Starting..."

There is already thread on xda discussing what to do when you got UEFI screen. restore-kitkat-bios-830-1050-v2 tool is the answer.
I lost that thread, so I'll answer to mine thread:
My state was - tablet ended up in UEFI. Couldn't get through but I did on the end with novice mistakes. So, here is advice and mistakes which cost me some time.
Spot that you need to be in DnX mode - kk-tool says that - pressed Volume keys and power button. Then tablet says FastBoot Starting...
Do not run KK bios restore tool with Intel Phone Flash Tool opened. Close Intel Phone Flash Tool. Then run kk-tool and follow instructions.
Then use Intel Platform Flash Tool to flash ROM (you need android driver and USB driver). I have used and working (not first image but some other second download worked): YT2-1050F_S0198_150422_ROW. Then I have tried to update to Android Lollipop but install failure.. Killed KitKat.. I'll google more tomorrow.
Let me know if you find working ROM able to update all the way successfully to Lollipop.
Looks scary when you see grey-blue UEFI screen - Oh, I must screwed up pretty bad if I lost FastBoot... You might think something like that, like I did. But kk tool really kick-off and helped.

I have searched quite thoroughly in this forum but I can not seem to find the restore-kitkat-bios-830-1050-v2 tool . I have this same problem and can not get my 830LC running.
