Hello all,
I have successfully bricked my phone after I wanted to install TWRP on it via the app provided by GooglePlay store!
I have downloaded the app and selected my phone (model LG G2xx name - don't know if it was a mistake) and installed it; then the application asked me to restart the phone and enter the TWRP mode to install another CFW.
But to my surprise, the phone got a black screen and when I plugged it on my Windows 8.1 PC i got a lot of partitions asking to format to use.
I used Partager.info 's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142) successfully under Ubuntu 14.04.1 but what I got was the LG logo without any animation or prompts.
The phone does not turn off either! I have managed to reset (turn off) the phone by pressing the power + volume down buttons at the same time but it keeps coming back. Also I have managed (after its automatic restart) to enter Download Mode (power + volume down to reset and then very quickly - before it starts - volume up + power button) using the FlashTool provided by hyelton as I have used before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476) but the phone does not seem to be USB responsive on Windows or Ubuntu. I cannot see any devices in Device Manager or partitions in Disk Management. I only saw a "QHSUSB_BULT" hidden driver in Device Manager and I have uninstalled it to see if my PC finds the device again but nothing. I had the LG drivers preinstalled (LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN312AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.12.3) but still no device detected.
I have also tried to quickly turn off the phone and before it starts to press the volume up and plug the USB on my PC to show the adb mode but again
please find me any way to sort this out, I had just recently replaced my screen, earspeaker and back cover

If you see many partitions, then you are in the 9006 mode. Make sure the 9006 drivers (and qhsusbbulk drivers too) are installed and follow my post here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...lcomm-9006-t2939627/post57984541#post57984541

This is just an extremely detailed explanation of his method.
It uses windows, no ubuntu needed.
Don't thank me, thank @tungkick if it saves your phone.
Last week, my yotaphone 2 informed that there is a system update from yotaphone. I downloaded and updated but then my phone cannot work. It show only black start screen with word "Android" until battery empty.
I tried to android recovery mode (hold power and volume up),
it show that the error is "e:cannot load volume /misc!".
And I do not know how to solve that problem.
Please help me!

You can probably recover.
To reflash a full firmware image you could try the relatively user-friendly yotaflasher application and ROM images from here. I haven't used this myself, but it's software by Yota, so should be safe. You can ask it not to touch /data, to preserve apps, settings etc.
A less user friendly way to reflash a full firmware image:
- Download a full firmware image (EU 1.60 flashable version here, let me know if you require a different one)
- With the phone off, press vol down + power until you see "Downloading ...."
- If you can't turn the phone off normally, keep vol down + power for at least 15 seconds till phone reboots, keep holding till you end up with "Downloading ...."
- connect to a PC with adb+fastboot with a USB cable
- You can now boot TWRP image (fastboot boot recovery_twrp_yd201_alpha2.img , see here.
- if you have important files on your phone, you can back them up now by using adb shell/adb pull (e.g. adb pull /sdcard/Pictures/yeti_sighting.jpg)
- In TWRP go to advanced -> sideload and confirm
- now you can sideload a ROM image from the PC with adb sideload <image>.zip, it should show progress while it's uploading the firmware. If it errors, you probably haven't confirmed initiating sideload in previous step.
- wipe cache&dalvik and reboot
thank you, the first way worked and my phone runs normally now.
thank you
Help please

Root the phone using methods written on this forum > download build 1.60 flammable zip > flash that.
If all you want is Google apps then root the phone then download and flash a gapps package. The full Yota build zip is recommended though.
Can't download yotaflasher application from the link... does anybody have the exe file?

Just click on the YotaPhoneFlasher folder then click the file (yotaphone2_flasher.exe), and save to your harddisk.
Or you can try this link straight to the yotaphone2_flasher.exe file.

Dude I've just bought my phone, and it has the same problem. But I'm a complete noob, how did you fix it? Please, i've just bought it.
On RU build 134 when I tried to swap users my user with Defaut user, the phone blocked, the display is on (time is the same when first happend - just a freeze image) but I can't do nothing on phone. Is a way to reset? because on a normal way I would remove battery but yota dont have this option.

The analogue method of pulling out the battery is pressing the POWER button for at least 10 seconds. The phone will reboot.
Thanks, I pushed vol down + Power and the phone restarted normaly.
PS: If you know where to get a book from Алекса́ндр Солжени́цын - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to read on yota display, send me.

Sir, i can't even get into recovery mode, i get this problem like it suddenly happen and my battery was 38%.. i was on facebook and it hang and then reboot and then stuck at "POWERED BY ANDROID".
I try to get into recovery mode by pressing volume up + power button, it restart again to "POWERED BY ANDROID"
When i pressing volume down + power button, it show downloding... , and i try to flash it using yotaflasher with HK Firmware 5.0.
When it is done, the phone reboot.
And it still stuck at "POWERED BY ANDROID"
What is the real problem ?
Please help!!!
While trying to solve the network issue on my Yotaphone 2 I managed to brick my phone. He is dead! But since it is a Snapdragon inside it can be fixed.
I need a help from someone who has rooted his Yotaphone2!
I need files from Yotaphone2 software: rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml
Please!!!

You need to keep pressing the power up button after the showing of "POWERED BY ANDROID", the power does not need to be pressed after then.
If you can still not reach recovery, you probably have a broken recovery (maybe wrong version) and something else is messed up.
When you flash recovery, you need to instantly go into recovery mode by pressing +/up on calling the according command
(fastboot reboot).
It does not look like you changed file system related things, did you change anything on your system/with root permissions?
Are you sure the installation process went without failure etc?
Getting out the cause (kernel logs etc) would be a bit hard without getting into recovery mode[and maybe also nonworking kernel], like stated out here

What's your build number what version of supersu did you try to flash?
Shutdown your device, put your current build onto 'dload' folder in the sdcard and press the following key combo: POWER, VOL-UP & VOL-DOWN, it should enable automatic update process

Shut it down amd press those 3 keys combo.. upon seeing Huawei Logo and vibration, release the Power key while holding the other 2... That ought to do it
Man, your phone is badly bricked. If you don't have at least access to fastboot, then you're screwed.
Good for me to I have the same problem. I was trying to get to stock ( I have made it several times), but the last time was a fail... The whole process of sending firmware was ok. then a reboot and brick.
Now the huawei screen and the short vibration appears and shutdown.
I was trying everything.
In device manager the phone is displayed as mobile devices \ volume f:\ (drive letter)
in connected devices the phone is detected as
hi6210sft
Phone is not detected in fastboot or ADB.
I met this problem yesterday(I hope the identical ). Because I have two booting animations, one from Vodafone, I guess I shutdown early during installation. It just froze. Then it didn't boot and stock recovery didn't help
My solution needs some recovery software like twrp. Press three buttons at the same time until twrp mode. Copy zip file for SuperSU to phone or sdcard, then flash it. After that my phone works again.
You mentioned that you cannot start recovery. Try more. After installing twrp, starting it is quite annoying. Sometimes it just doesn't start or stock recovery starts. An alternative way is to go to whatever mode, and try adb or fast boot to reboot to recovery. Pressing button requires techniques which j don't have
I can't enter TWRP non combination is working for me. Installing firmware using dload from sd card also.
okay if non of these worked you can try flashing the whole update.app file by fastboot..
tools you will need
1- download the official huawei firmware from the official site
2- download Huawei Update Extractor
3- download minimal adb and fastboot
check the unbricking chapter of this thread
Note: to get in fastboot make sure you connected your phone to computer and press the vol down and power down buttons.. if none of these worked your phone is hard bricked .-. .. try opening the phone and reconnecting the battery worked with someone
if you need any help just pm me or replay on this thread hope that help you
Ok thx. I have already opened the phone to reconnect the battery
And then I was trying the combinations;
Battery connected vol- +power - Huawei logo and vibration and shutdown, no fastboot
Battery disconnected, vol-+power and connecting cable to phone - the same
Battery disconnected combination vol + vol - + ppwer, with sd card dload, the same
Battery connected combination vol + vol - power, sd card dload, the same
Any other suggestions?
The phone is recognized in Windows in device manager as mobile device as volume with a letter, I cant change the drivers to the right ones. I can't enter the storage it's unrecognized format.
Any other suggestions?

it is easy to suggest others.. I too advised you.. but today i am facing the same problem...
what I tried:
Reinstalling the same ROM using dload method
Upgrading to other ROM (using both dload and flashing 4 image method)
Downgrading
Restoring from the backup
At one point, the phone booted up all well except the Wifi Module... So I flashed another ROM and stuck again...
the worst thing that I don't have any connection to fastboot Each firmware installation method fails

yes, mine too... or I could say flashing succeeds but there's some problem with the boot partition... will get my phone today from the Customer Care and try again (if they can't repair).
you can try removing the back cover and unplugging the battery... that is one of the few things I will do today as I get my phone back..

ok made it back.. just flashed the boot.img from b594 (the one I was using when my mobile got bricked)... somehow made it back. But now I am having a problem with the battery. It doesn't charge when the device is switched on, only when the device is switched off... will see for few days, if there's problem will take it back to service centre again
I have already removed back cover and was trying to reconnect the battery to do clear run. But the only thing is discovered in windows is a driver for storage and I can't change the driver to ADB or FASTBOOT
Now I have connected phone w PC on adb devices I see only emulator-5554 device. In Device manager I see the storage as a Mobile Device.
Nope it was Bluestacks

Switch off your device and then connect it to PC but just hold the volume- key.. that should get you in fastboot mode... I did that and then flashed the boot.img of the current ROM. This should boot it up...

Hello dear forum users. Help me to repair Samsung gt-i9500 phone. The phone turns on but it does not boot beyond the logo. It is impossible to turn off the phone either. I have to remove the battery to turn it off. I wanted to do a hard reset, but it didn't work either. I went into factory mode, but the on / off button just does not work there to select menu items. There are 6 items in factory mode menu: 1)Full test 2) Item test 3)Test report 4)clear eMMC 5)version 6)reboot. I read on the Internet that clear eMMC is a hard reset, but I can’t choose. The phone does not respond to pressing the on/off button to select. The phone does not respond when trying to select other items too. I have googled that i need to flash the phone in this case. I connected the phone to the computer using a usb cable. Installed the driver.I entered factory mode on the phone.Phone is successfully recognised by Windows. I downloaded sb flash tool and downloaded one of GT-i95** MT6575 roms also.I have launched sp flash tool and choosed scatter file from rom folder that i have downloaded and pressed download button. But process didnot started and nothing happened. Sp flash tool didnot started process.I have attached screenshot of device info from Skipsoft Android Toolkit. I dont know why it have strange serial number . Maybe someone tried to repair it but unsuccessfully or i dont know.I can run adb on this device and can view files on this device with adb. I dont know how to get root on this device with only adb option to interact with device.I cannot get to download mode also . It shows me red triangle with exclamation mark. In this screen i pressed on/off button + vol.up button to enter . No response to this from device.Also Windows didnot recognise device when i pressed vol.down + home+on/off .It shows unrecognised device in device manager.But in Factory Mode this device was recognised by Windows.So i stucked in repairing this device. So guys what to do next to repair this device ? thanks for answers.
