I have a big problem here and I don't have idea of what to do!, I was searching for custom kernels and I found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732648, but I did the stupidest thing I've ever done, because this kernel is for a D802 and a have a VS980 :crying: . I was hoping to be able to restore a backup that I made with twrp before I flash that wrong kernel but Now my phone only boot in fastboot mode and it won't entry into recovery :crying: . I tried a lot of things to boot it up but it just get stucked into that ugly fastboot screen. Then I read that I could flash the right boot image from fastboot, but I'ts just impossible to get my phone recognized by my computer, as any time I enter the command "adb devices" nothing but the message "list of devices attached" appears. I have windows 8.1, I have installed the PdaNet drivers, Universal adb drivers, LG page drivers, the samsung drivers that someone tell me wil work, and it just don't recognize the phone! Please help me :crying: :crying:

you can use the download mode to flash back to stock or use lg upgrade tool and press emergency recover then enter the IMEI or either the S/W code in the G2 box to initialize an emergency flash stock via download mode!!!!!

My lenovo a6000 is hard bricked. PC not detecting it.

Hello all, I have a Lenovo a6000 smartphone. It was owned by my friend. She had a problem with the android os, so she went to a local store and the there it got hard bricked. Now if I turn it on it only vibrates once. no backlight or any picture. If I press and hold vol- and power buttons together LCD backlight turns on but no display. then it goes off and then again turns on. PC does not detect it. Can anyone help me getting it out from this state?

You need to have adb and fastboot drivers for your phone to correctly get detected.
Here's the LINK FOR QFIL TUTORIAL. You'll need another set of drivers called as the QCOM drivers which are mentioned in the tutorial from the above link.
Hope this helps.

I already have installed the drivers. Still not detected. Even the device manager does not show a device is connected

You should try changing the usb cable you are using. Or maybe that guy in the local repair shop didn't put the sub PCB board back correctly.

There is only one pcb in it. Changing the cable does not make a difference

One update. I can get into the fastboot mode. But the bootloader is locked. What to do?

Lenovo A6000 doesn't come with a locked bootloader B-l
If you can boot into fastboot then you should flash twrp from it depending on the current android version of the device. If it had been on kitkat flash this TWRP v2.8.6.0 or if it has been updated to lollipop then flash the latest TWRP v3.1.0.
For this you need to first have the fastboot drivers installed and also the minimal adb and fastboot tool. Then place the required TWRP in that folder, better rename the file to 'recovery.img' and then in the CMD window which you open by Shift + Right Click first type
Code:
fastboot devices
To check whether your device is detected by the tool and haa got drivers installed correctly.
Later, if successful​, type in
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you'll have TWRP recovery installed.
Then flash any ROM on the device using it.

Thanks! I will try it and post the results.
Btw are you sure it does not come with a locked bootloader? I tried to flash the stock recovery and got an error saying "unknown command or device is lock"

Yeah bro I'm 100% positive. I think unknown command is displayed when you flash the wrong version of recovery.
You can also​ try
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Sometimes only this works which temporarily boots into the custom recovery.

Try this with the CWM recovery too.
BTW does your device gets detected by fastboot devices command? Also, have you tried the QPST method?

You've tried booting into Download mode? It requires you to press the VOL UP + POWER KEY, then you need to select the Download mode in it to perform flashing through QPST.
Also, you never mentioned what android version was the device on, earlier.

If i press and hold vol up and power key together the phone only vibrates once and shows nothing. And i think my friend applied the lollipop update on it. She is not sure.

I think you are missing something (maybe).
The command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If the recovery files name is twrp.img then command will be "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".

Flash universal bootloader and the modem for A2017 from the lineage os thread. Then you should get radio signal again.

I don't know how to do It Can you give me more information please?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have TWRP? If you do, go to the LineageOS thread (located over 'ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries') and download the 'A2017X Universal Bootloader' and 'A2017 Modem' from there (there should be a link to androidfilehost where the universal bootloader and modem files are located). Be sure that you download the A2017 modem file (NOT the A2017G or A2017U one!).
After that simply put them on your phone and flash them via TWRP

Huawei P10 Lite - Bricked Device

Hello everyone.
I Have Huawei P10 Lite WAS-LX1A and I accidentally bricked my device.
I was using TWRP to install a rom, and I wipped my system but the rom couldn't be installed for some reason. So I thought my TWRP Version had a problem, so I tried with bootloader to istall a new TWRP.
In adb I pressed:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_by_GreatSlon.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then
fastboot flash recovery custom_boot_decryptdata_b130
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But now, it doesn't load TWRP at all when I press vulume up + power button. I am stuck with out TWRP and with out an OS.
And I can't enter bootloader to install a new TWRP. Is there anything I can do?
I do have a laptop and an SD Card and my Bootloader is unlocked. Phone Unlocked and FRP Unlock are red, so maybe there is a way to save my phone please? I need help please . Sorry if I am not explaining very good and if I don't write correctly, I'ts because I am very very sad . Please someone tell me there is a way to fix it. Maybe dload? But I cannot find any file that it fits.. Thanks in advance.

I found this youtu.be/pkWSDlrLmns and I intalled a new TWRP. But I still cannot find any ROM to install. Any help please?

you flashed twrp in recovery partition and after that, you flashed "custom_boot_decryptdata" also in recovery partition. so, twrp was overwritten. that's the reason why it doesn't work now. are you able to enter fastboot? (VOL- & power button)?
are you on emui5 or emui8?
if you can enter fastboot mode, flash twrp again.

Bricked P10 lite
My huawei p10 lite completely dead after mistakenly doing a wipeall from twrp. Now the screen doeant turn on , no logo, no vibrations, nothing. But the computer detects something(still no reaponse on phone) and when i typed fastboot devices in minimal adb it shows the list and the phone is listed in it. Please help.

Try to flash all partitions from a service rom.

I have the Same Problem. Only dark screen with fastboot connection.

(Sorry for the very late reply) I could enter fastboot using a pc, and then flashed a different twrp and costum rom.
Everything was okay. But, lately my rom started having network problems and I decided to flash an another rom..
But when I did, something wrong happened and now I am without twrp, without rom and with phone and frp locked.
My destiny is to brick my device and go to imposimple position, isn't it? I don't have my unlocked code so I cannot unlock my bootloader. I paid and tried dc unlocker to unlock my phone, but after plug-unplug it stopped being unlocked again and my money for dc unlocker gone for nothing and I am not willing to pay again for something like that. Any ideas to unlock my phone?
I sent an email and message to Huawei to see if they can give me the code, but idk if they will do. Any suggestions?

This post can be locked. This thread continues here. As for the Huawei, they respond that they don't give the unlock code anymore..

Looking for help installing TWRP

I have now spent the entire day trying to get this thing to work, and having used up all the help from xda, I am asking you guys for help. Here's my situation:
I am trying to install TWRP on my Zenfone Max Pro M1. So I followed all the guides available, and downloaded the drivers, unlock.bat, TWRP img etc and did what I have always done on all my phones.
My computer also recognizes the device when I try fastboot devices. But the second I try to fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, the phone goes onto a black screen with "Press any key to shut down" written on it. I have tried every combination out there, and I don't know what to do now.
Please help.

Did you unlock boot loader? After that press volume up and power button,then you can enter fastboot screen. After that use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

I have same problem plz help

1. boot into fastboot.
2. make sure fastboot can see the device 'fastboot devices'
3. fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx.img
4. boot into twrp.
Did that work?

No, you must have done something else too. I'm trying to use fastboot mode to flash the fastboot firmware using Asus Flash Tool but as soon as AFT detects the device, it goes all black with the screen saying" press any key to shut down". Did you installed any other drivers or used any other system to do it?

Nope. Just used Powershell to execute the bat file and then push TWRP.
CMD wasn't working for me.
