Hey guys!
Ok, so after hours of looking through post after post after post I finally narrowed down my options, downloaded a firmware and flashed. Now I have a somewhat of a bricked phone.
It will not power up BUT, when connected, does go into Recovery and accepts new flashes.:fingers-crossed:
I have found a recovery ROM but am researching into extracting a scatter cfg/txt, rom, etc. and flashing.
Has anyone found something for me? Anyone know how to get past the UI popup "Baseband Chip Error"
Anyone have any success with this? I know Im not the ONLY one in this position and Im sure someone out there can help me. If not, Im going to keep hammering away at this POS.
u80? did you mean u8?
No
No, the clone of a u8 is a u80
Hello,
So this is pretty straightforward, I need to install a stock (or any working) firmware into a bricked, Huawey Y600 phone, yes y600 the post title is wrong but I can't change it
So to speed things up.
Installing a ROM from the SD is out of the question,
Performing a hard reset is out of the question,
Performing ANY action that involves the screen is out of the question,
because the phone is bricked and only shows a white screen.
This would have been straightforward for a Samsung, or LG, or even a Microsoft phone by using each company's firmware PC program. Huawey phones on the other hand don't have one of those, or if they do it's a pretty well kept company secret, I couldn't find anything like that.
I did find this tool
http://www.androiddevs.net/guide-fl...ols-android-one-devices-micromaxspicekarbonn/
but it didn't work for me, I was getting a scatter file error. I probably did something wrong but the information on these guides was way too limited. At least the phone didn't go totally black or unresponsive.
I also don't know how to do the fastboot method so this could work if someone could help me.
So any help would be nice.

Come on people.
I've tried adb devices, it's not recognized.
Downloaded the drivers from here : http://gsmusbdriver.com/huawei-ascend-y600
they show "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
What else can I try?
For anyone interested I found this flash and it worked
http://uplod.ir/51e5afinjj00/Y600-U...wait_Iran__by_yahoo_id_:_linuxmobile_.rar.htm
I also used SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01 and the driver I found here : https://androidmtk.com/download-huawei-usb-drivers
Case closed. Admin please mark as solved and correct title if possible.
So I have an Asus Zenfone Max(ZC550KL) which is more or less unusable at the moment. I had been using it for a year and 4 months now and it worked like charm. But for the last few weeks, It had gotten incredibly slow. So day before yesterday, when I got some free time on my hand, I decided to flash it with a custom ROM.
Basically I checked xda for some good ROMS and decided which ones to flash. Also had to unlock the bootloader which I did using the app from the official Asus website. Also managed to get twrp recovery and root it. I somehow managed to flash a custom ROM but it wasn't working like I expected(No wifi or network) and so many other things. So I decide to flash the stock ROM back and this is where I screwed up in probably more ways than one.
So I went on to search as to how I could go about flashing the stock ROM and one of the instructions said it was as simple as using the firmware from the Asus website and installing the zip through twrp. At the moment I wasn't aware that the 16GB and 32GB were actually different variants, one which had Snapdragon 4XX and the other had 620 processor. The website initially listed only 8916 firmware. I didn't think a whole lot about it and used twrp to flash it. Since then the phone isn't booting up, can't get it into the CSC mode or recovery mode. Later on I managed to search a Asus website a little more extensively and somehow managed to find the 8939 as well. But without being able to boot into the bootloader mode or recovery, I don't know how to go about it.
I am not getting the charging symbol either, and whenever I plug into the PC, nothing is recognized. But from time to time, if I press the power button long enough, My PC says an unrecognized device is plugged. Is their anything I can do to to revive the phone or should I lose hope at this point? Also I understand changing the motherboard could fix it, but is the price worth it or would I be better off buying a new phone? Any help would be highly appreciated.

What is the device model exactly , the 8916 or 8939 CPU ? How exactly is the device showing up when you connect to pc, showing up as a number of local drives or what ?

Not showing up at all. sometime back, if I pressed the power button long enough, My pc would tell me there is some unrecognized device connected. Now that isn't happening either. Its the 32 GB Variant with Snapdragon 625, So 8939. But I flashed the phone through twrp, that too with 8916 firmware.

I need full details of your issue, so send me a private message.
A while ago I bought a Mediapad M3. Once I realized the 5GHz band was disabled on the US version, I was hellbent on getting it working. I eventually got it working through a bastardized hybrid of the Chinese (BTV-W09C233) and the US (BTV-W09C128) versions. There were a lot of problems with it (e.g. I couldn't install Gboard, I couldn't do a factory reset without losing latin keyboard, etc). I decided to go back to the stock US version and figuring out the minimum change needed to get the 5GHz band working. The tablet just didn't wanna go back to the US version and I wasn't gonna quit. At some point I ****ed up and I'm pretty sure I've hard bricked it dead. Then again many times I've been sure I've totally bricked a device only to stumble across some obscure way to breathe enough life into it to get fastboot or recovery working. I'm hoping this is one of those cases.
The symptoms:
Device is off. Holding the power button for no amount of time has changed that
I've tried a variety of button combos, none seem to do anything
Is there a special download mode like Qualcomm devices where some basic funcionality exists?
Does it respond in fastboot? If so, you might be able to use DC Unlocker(search please.) I haven't been able to try this on my device yet, and probably not for another month.

There would be something on the screen for fastboot, no?
Looking in my dmesg, I don't see any new devices being registered by Linux so I didn't bother with fastboot.
With mine there is no screen activity. If it's not showing up... You could read the DC Unlocker web site, I think there was a hardware method (shorting of test points) to stir the device.
Good Luck!

Will follow this thread will great interest.
Good luck!
I'm on vacation right now and I hate using the laptop for this sort of thing. I'm flying back in the morning and once I'm over the jetlag, I'll see what I can do with the damn thing.
In the meantime, I'd like to punch someone in Huawei for 1- disabling the 5GHz in the NA model and 2- Putting **** software on such great hardware.
Any progress?
Thanks!
Well, hey @copolii. Took a while to find test point as it hasn't been posted or published anywhere. From there it was still a bit tricky. Had to use BTV-DL09 board software to get fastboot only area in ram through factory mode (edl mode). Then fastboot flash the UPDATE.APP to boot to upgrade mode. Then flashed UPDATE.APP with localization files from upgrade mode. After that had to repair serial number and imei in order to get bootloader code. After all that let it update to nougat & emui 5 and it has 5GHz wifi which surprized me a bit. TWRP needs a little tuning and Magisk is working as it should. All of that was accomplished using SigmaKey dongle. Like I said, a bit tricky and don't believe it could have been fixed any other way. Oh, yeah same device, I bought it.
Thanks @tek3195.
I sold the tablet a month ago. Maybe share the info regarding the test pins so that the next person who stumbles upon this here can give it a shot.

Sorry, I forgot to post this before. So if anyone needs it and I'm sure they will.
Test point for BTV-W09 I would think BTV-DL09 would be the same, both have identical FCCID photos. content://media/external/images/media/28314 . To use test point you must disconnect battery. I would also recommend a little heat at top and bottom of display to remove.
I apologize for no link being posted . I didn't come back and check it , now attached an image hope it works. Don't know where the link went. In the pic there is only one test point as that is all that is used with Kirin devices apparently. The point at end of lime-green line is test point to be grounded with ground pin or any of the heat shields will work. A sharp pair of tweezers works well to make the short and make sure to disconnect battery.

Hi @tek3195
I have the same problem.
do you have board software for mediapad m3 BTV DL09 (.xml version)
can you share with me
One more thing, does the process always cause loss of IMEI and serial number.
if so, can we repair it (imei and serial number) without a dongle (maybe via fastboot or twrp)?
I would really appreciate your help

All I have is .skf format which is for SigmaKey. I have access to paid firmware, I can get .xml format and upload it for you. The only way I know of for xml is IDT which should be packaged with the firmware. What country do you need it for?
Here you should find 2 board software packages with tools and instructions. I've not used IDT before so don't have any insight on it. If you need anything else let me know.

Thank you for replying quickly.
Yes, my plan will be to use idt ver 2.0, because I don't have any dongel :crying:
idt ver 2.0 has a simpler configuration than version 1.0
Actually my devises are btv l0j (mediapa m3 docomo version)
so if you can get the btv l0j version then that would be great.
but if not, then the file that you shared earlier also I think will be enough.

I don't really know as I used sigma's firmware with there software. I have no idea how or what the process are with IDT and the packages I uploaded. Those are straight from easy-firmware, I will look and see if available for l0j.
Added BTV-L0J(2) to MediaFire folder, one 6.0 one 7.0.

I have managed to revive my tab from dead, no power, no recovery, no fast boot, to be normal again. with
slightly modify to the .xml config, skip to the nvme section to avoid missing imei and sn.
The result is i managed to flash board software without losing IMEI and SN.:victory::victory::victory:

So finding some info, Ive come across the Intel Platform Flash Tool... And with it some stock firmware for the tablet.
I however made the mistake of using the bios for dvt option, thinking it might show me the x86 bios setup... However no. Its hard bricked the tablet. I cant even turn it on.
Anyone know any way to unbrick it? Heck do i need to make or find some kind of SWD programmer to force upload corrected firmware?
Any advise?
Ok I can fix this, i have found the flash chip that holds the bios, and its easy enough to hack onto and program.
But i need a 831F bios flash dump to copy onto it...
Does anyone know where to find it?
I have a bios .bin file but from lenovo tab s8-50l. It's the same processor, ram, rom and display. Care to try?
