Hello XDA-devs forums,
I'm having an issue since yesterday.
I have rooted my Huawei Ideos X5, and it ran fine for a day or so.
However, when my battery ran out it shut down into a completely blue screen.
When I tried booting it again, this just showed me a blue screen as well.
Now, I fixed this issue by connecting the phone to my PC after booting it with the Vol+ and Vol- pressed.
(So you get the pink/purple screen)
However, when I opened the phone on my PC, all I saw was a "239 MB" "empty" space, and it should have ~2GB..
I placed a backup copy I saved of my "image" folder in that 239 MB storage, and it booted.
However, today I hooked it up to my PC again to see if it magically changed..
And I couldn't access the 239 MB space anymore.
When I tried fixing the issue with a reboot of the phone, that just caused it to get stuck in a booting loop.
So now I'm stuck with a phone that keeps trying to boot itself,
and I can't access it on my windows PC.
I can, however, access 4 different folders of the phone on my linux notebook.
Now, my question is: can someone with a good understanding of problems like these please help me out?
I'm getting kind of fed up with it, as I've only got the phone for 2 days now.
Thank you in advance, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Have you tried removing the battery for 5 minutes and then putting it back in?
After this, what happens when you press VOL+ and Power?
How about if you press VOL+, VOL- and Power, without the USB cable?
Hello Katu, thank you for posting.
Regarding your questions:
Yes, I have tried to take out the battery for 5+ minutes- it didn't change anything to the situation unfortunately..
If I press VOL+ and Power at the same time, the device boots into recovery mode.
In this I have tried to format the device in order to reset it to factory defaults, but this did not help either.
When I press VOL+, VOL- and Power, the phone boots into the pink/purple screen.
Can you try a custom recovery and a custom rom? I want to see if your onboard flash is borked.

I had the same when my phone got f*ucked up. Put the image folder, than download official rom, like b138 and install it. then check your imei. There is a change that it will be 0.

Well, I used an original ROM:
U8800 V100R001C00B136(Overseas General version)
And that resulted in the boot.img being corrupted, so I can't even overwrite that anymore.
Also, this is what I see when I hit VOL+, VOL- and Power at the same time to boot into safe mode, and connect it to my PC.

I installed the official B136 rom, and after it rebooted, it would just hang on a black screen.
(it used to show the IDEOS or Android logo when it booted)
Hmm mine came with this Rom
U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01 ( general )
Looking at your name you're from the Netherlands ( so am I )
where did you get this 136 version from ?
I would try to put this one on it
You have to put the 'dload' folder into the root of your SD Card,
then boot into boot-loader, after that it'll automatically flash back to the stock Rom.
1 Format SD card
2 On the SD card, create "dload" folder
3 Put the unzipped Rom into "dload" folder
4 Then boot to bootloader (pink screen)
Yes, mine came with that version as well.
However, I couldn't find it anymore and thus downloaded the version I said earlier.
Also, I did everything as you described, except step 4.
You have to boot to recovery instead of bootloader. (VOL+ and Power)
Anyways, I managed to get ClockworkMod's recovery.img on my phone,
and from there on install a custom ROM on the phone, which magically got it working again - even though it didn't work earlier.
Thank you for reading my thread and taking the time to reply to it.
My issue has been resolved.
just for the record, flashing a stock rom is different from flashing a custom rom..
the 4 steps described by Gman2oo6 is the correct way to flash a stock rom (and it is written clearly in the document that is in the stock rom zip file)
[edit]
step (1) is not a necessary step though..
Yeah, I noticed that.
What I did was format my SDcard with FAT32,
and put a custom rom (update.zip) on the SDcard.
I then booted ClockworksMod Recovery and installed the custom rom from the SDcard.
When I tried installing the stock rom, I just followed the PDF file's instructions that came with the stock rom.
hey i udated to GB 2.3.4 (official)and i didnt like the it cuz the wifif ddnt work and the bluetooth also the DATA so itryed to downgrade to 2.2.2 original official and it did the 2/2 steps intalled and when it restarted it did not want to turn on all that happened was it vibrated and thats all so i left it on like that and when the battery died i plugged it in to the AC and the LED turned on red and the touch kkeys also but not the screen so i really NEED help!
Try to turn it on with lead connected but no battery and see if you can start it.
My battery also went dead flat this morning and I couldn't get it started at all till I tried this. Once I got it started the only thing I could do was quickly pop in the batery and let it charge. Just leave off the cover till you get it going.
I have to add that I did not have the problem of a failed update to deal with but it may at least get you started
i tryed it
nope nothin good happened all that happens is a blank screen with nothin on ,LED is off and the touch keys are off. it justz vibrates and when i put the battery it turn the LED on to red and the touch keys turn on but then like 5 min later the LED and keys turn off

ok heres what i did i wanted to upgrade my phone to the newest version GB 2.3.4.So what i did was download the update and i followed the installation steps i successfully updated to Gb 2.3.4. so like i was checking how it look and the new feature but when i wanted to go on the android market i went to setting and turn on the wifi and it said Error and then i tried the Bluetooth and it said Error also so then i put my SIMs card in and i was like imma use DATA then and when i restarted my phone it had service but no HSPA+ or Edge or GPRS so like i just hatted my phone from their so then i was trying to root it but iddnt know how to do that so like i read this website and i got the UPDATE.APP or 2.2.2 AT&T did the same steps of the installation of BG 2.3.4 and it went to the process and 1/2 stepp good it passed and then 2/2 also passed it installed it and when it said Successively Installed it said Restarting and the scrren turn of and it vibrated and thats all that happened and i left it like that for the whole days and nothing happened
Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
Not sure about the HID (human interface device) probably just the way windows sees the device for interfacing with it. With regards to the not booting I have read a lot of people saying that you need to factory reset and clear cache after the upgrade/downgrade. With the phone off, turn it on by long pressing volume+ and power on button till you get the blue recovery screen and from there you can reset factory/ data and also clear the cache. from what I see this should clear up the problem and start up. Please read this thread, it may help you somehow..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
Hope this helps a little
U mean Boot recovery and imma try it and thanks ill check it out

well how do i do that do i need to got to the purple/pink screen or bot recovery cuz i cannot access that my phone doesn't do anything pretty much
Hello i have been freaking out and researching this for hours. (found nothing)
What I did
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9gL_4KNs_Q
I have T-Mobile.
Now when my phone boots up it keeps shutting off. stays on for 1-5 seconds
I then did a factory reset and cleared the cache.
I can some times get it to the home screen and flip back and forth on the different screens then it shuts off. I have seen I have superuser on in the apps but don't get a lot of time to check root before it shuts off.
I do have red text on the Samsung logo screen that says "kernel is not seandroid enforced" (Spelling)
What do I do?
Safe mode also shuts off.
I can get to download mode and recovery mode
I just cant get it to stay on .
Any help would be great thanks.
Additional info
Update more info: When I factory reset. I do get an error failed to mount /preloader (no files or directory) wording might be a bit off but that's about what it says.
does it restart in recovery/download mode?
does it restart when the plug in into a charger?

I guess I should have changed the wording. Its not rebooting it just shuts off.
No It does not restart when I charge it. But it does show the battery image and charges.

me too, if it doesnt reboot while charging means possible battery issue.

Sorry for the miss communication.
Lets try this again.
I can plug the phone in and it charges while its turned off. you know the battery screen.
I can volume up, home and power For down load mode
I can volume down home and power (factory reset, cache delete so on)
I can get ODIN to connect but I cant flash the firmware I found. Maybe its the wrong firmware? Could you point me to what I need?
But when I just turn it on either charging or not it shuts it self off a few seconds later. Seems to happen after a message about auto time and date pops up. And when I say shuts down it just shuts off no like shut down screen or anything.
ok start again, please put all info so it wont be confusing:
what initiate the problem?
did you install a custom rom?
are you rooted?
what phone model are you using?
odin version?
have you tried flashing thru samsung switch? if not, try it

Update:
I just got my phone back from Samsung. On Friday they told be they didn't fix it because it was rooted and said they are mailing it back. Well now I don't have a phone so I Saturday I went and got a new s7 edge from t mobile. Its now Wednesday and I get my phone from Samsung. I open the package all bummed wondering what I am going to do with this phone. I then see the phone is in a small blue draw bag thing I thought it was cool so I open it to look at it and I see my phone light it. The sim card and tray on taped to the back of the phone but my phone is on! I then sat here looking at it waiting for it to reboot. I put my sim card. Then a screen popped up saying reboot? and I click yes . I was so mad at myself but then it restarted and everything was ok. I installed root checker and I have root access. the phone has now been on for the last hour or so. Not sure if it was something Samsung did or taking the sim card out did something.
But now I have a rooted s6 edge plus rooted and a s7 edge. and out like 600 bucks
Best solution, use Samsung's Smart Switch software (download from their site) and restore to factory ROM and kernel (official Samsung version). If it is anything software related, this will definitely fix it.
in case you dont know the steps: open smart switch, connect device (make sure its detected), got to more > emergency software recovery & initialization > Device initialization > type in your exact model name at the bottom > then serial number (make sure you type it correctly > type ok, follow instructions, and let it do its thing .
Try this and let me know how it goes. Good luck.
its kernal issue try to flash a different kernal available for edge+
Had the same experience as some of you - my Yotaphone got bricked (not sure why, but soon after .136RU update) and ended up in a bootloop - "Powered by Android" logo, reboot every couple of minutes. Tried flashing different recoveries and systems but no change.
Recently I've ordered a set of screwdrivers and opened my phone, disconnected the epd screen and the battery (this one only for a couple of minutes) and tried fastboot again.
Power + vol up (recovery) didn't work before and now it does, so I'm in Twrp. That's all for now (had to go to work ), but will keep you posted afterwards.
Above I'm putting the YT video I was using to safely open Y2, you will need T3 screwdriver and some lever to lift the EPD back cover - be careful, use sth soft (wood/ABS), it looks like it's very easy to break the glass.
So, back to the story..
Was in TWRP and had the full funcionality, except for the OTG. ADB also didn't work (haven't switched debugging on when Y2 was alive..). So went back to the fastboot (Power + Vol Down).
Yotaflasher did crappy job so I had to flash everything manually, command after command:
fastboot flash aboot firmware/emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash boot firmware/boot.img
fastboot flash cache firmware/cache.img
fastboot flash modem firmware/radio/NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 firmware/radio/sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash rpm firmware/radio/rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz firmware/radio/tz.mbn
fastboot flash userdata firmware/userdata.img
fastboot flash -S 512M system firmware/system.img
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(didn't include recovery - have it already)
Now Y2 went through the "Powered by Android" logo and stopped for a while (maybe even 10min..) at its own boot animation. After that I was welcomed by Language choice menu and quickly after had my phone working. Now it's downloading .136RU update again.
Mind it's also still disconeccted from EPD screen - it has some dead pixel lines and can't figure out where lies the problem, will play with that tomorrow.
PS. Don't forget to enable USB debugging when you have the chance!

maybe first just disconnect battery and epd screen and try to boot, if no then flash twrp and do factory reset and try again, if still no change then erase data and flash new system image

I have tried all, disconnect flash twmp nothing happens. I have installed again the system but it rest in bootlooop.
wow, i am not alone with this problem. Why does the problem is coming at same time in december ? any bad updates? hm.
Anybody told with yotaphone support about this problem ?
im not realy a mobile crack, its not easy for me to understand this repair process. the only thing i have do is restore und wipe cache function in the bootloader.
Then i have uploaded the newest firmware with yotaflasher. it was successfull.
ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/EU/5.0.0-EU1.1.87a.zip
But this was not the solution. i will try "5.0.0-EU1.1.124b.zip" this is from august 2016 newer then all.
keeeper you have make manually flash, it was success? I dont know how it works with command lines. And my english is not good.
I had debugging on mode when my yota was alive.
somehow yotaflasher does not do its job properly, at least on my PC - while flashing the system directory manually it takes me a large while to move about 1GB of data, YF does it much faster, what was really suspicious.
i have flashed the new 124b now, then it updated something. And then, ahhhhhhh i see the start screen where i can choose my language. but when i plug of the handy from PC, the screen is off. game over.
i think my phone have a damaged RAM.
Question,... why does yotaflasher needs only 10sec. to flashed a 1GB firmware ??? thats unreal.
maybe first just disconnect battery and epd screen and try to boot, if no then flash twrp and do factory reset and try again, if still no change then erase data and flash new system image

Is the battery fully charged? QC doesn't work all the time - it needs CPU to help and for example in recovery mode CPU doesn't support quick charging.
i cant see if it full loaded. i only plug in to power suply. Today im come to the welcome screen !!! And then, i type the password for my wlan to start configuration. But it freezed und go down.
i send you my pictures from the state. i think,.... its damaged hardware
i dont understand that the phone is started alone after 15 minutes. then crashing 10 times on boot and then mute. after 10 - 20 minutes it started again. i do nothing, it is only plug in powersuply.

I would try to disconnect the EPD completely (like in this thread and try if there's any change.
I've also had problems with random reboots but after saying goodbye to the back screen Yotaphone works like a charm. I know that wasn't the point of buying this phone but even without the EPD it's still a great device.
but this can not be normal without EPD i can use my s5
Today i was longer time in the OS. i have configured the phone and the wlan. After 5min. its crash and reboot. The battery was 1% !!!
After complete one night charging it is on 50%. this is not normal. On the EPD i have a double screen ?! 25% size on left side and on right side clone.
My Yota is a new device, i will try to send it to the seller or manufacturer
this is unbelievable. after i loading the accu complete, i can start the phone. And all works. 5 days long the phone lay without used it. After this days the phone works. Then i have install whatsapp, activate yotaFit, and will configure the "keyboard". After i changed the Keyboard Layout, UI-system hold on and the phone crashed.
After this, the phone was reboot some times and crashed again. Now, i have the same problem. What is this F** S** ?
The phone only works fine, when i do nothing. when the phone lay one week without interaction. yeay!

good afternoons i have the problem that is drained in the android logo but i can not access the recovery in any way what can i do? Do i have to remove the battery to access recovery?
By the way I have a YotaPhone 1 with a bootloop problem. Could anyone help me with finding the stock rom so that I can revive my phone?
Beers for anyone who can help!
I have Pumpkin ND0294B-A08, was trying for hours to get root for it, at one point an APK loader was supposed to root and reboot to recovery mode, it looked like root was successful but never booted to recovery, now I am stuck at either straight PUMPKIN load screen, or if I use RST button along with POWER button I can get it to "Starting update..." screen with android logo.
I have been working for hours and keep hitting dead ends and broken links and files that are missing from download sites and am now just stuck.
Unit is Android 8 PX5 MCU CSN2. I thought it was the same as my last head unit but I overlooked the MCU CSN2 and I think that's why it's dead.
Beers for anyone who can help me bring this back to life, extra for those who can help me bring it back to life rooted.
Thank you.
From what i remember from other posts is you can flash the standard (CSN2) firmware without booting into android. If you can get it into "starting upgrade" mode, try having an sd card in there with the stock firmware. Easily downloadable from the csn2 thread. I hope you have success!
I actually tried that once or twice just to get it back from being bricked, and it wasn't working. EDIT: found many extra links for firmware. I will try again.
EDIT 2: tried UPDATE2.BIN and KUPDATE.ZIP in a fat32 SD card that worked earlier on this same unit, tried several versions of the factory firmware from the thread and it isn't working for me. If I just power the unit with the SD card inserted, it sits at PUMPKIN large letter screen. Not in a loop, just sits at that screen. THEN, when I boot while holding power button it shows a display with a green Android character with the words "Starting update..." but I let it sit that way for an hour and it does nothing else.
Anyone else have ideas that can help possibly? My unit is bricked unless I get this fixed.
Thank you,
Hey, I have a px5 head unit that was on android 6.0.1, I updated the mcu from version MTCE_HZC_v.75 to v.94
I tried to flash android 8 rom using an image I found online, so I booted the unit into recovery mode and selected update image, and then the unit restarted and never turned back on
before that, the USB port related to the unit received power, but now there is nothing
I tried to hold the reset button for different periods but it did nothing.
is there any way to try to turn it on without disassembling the whole thing?
Restore backup - connect device to PC and restore system using backup (if you backed up before flashing)
Android 6? That's old, most updates of yours only update to oreo 8.1. on PX5 device. Find updates and MCU files on 4pda Russian forum.

I have noticed that the touch buttons on the unit light up, but the screen doesn't
