Please help ...
I know things like this are asked many many times, but I couldn't find a way to get it working :-(
I've got a Huawei u8800+ from merimobiles yesterday. The first time I tried to get into recovery mode the phone was going for a firmware update and got stuck at step 1/2 "update failed", so I had to pull out the battery. So from ths point on, everytime I boot my phone (without an sd card) it keeps on updating (and failing). So I tried to get the pink screen and connected the phone to my pc. I then accidentally formatted the image dir on the phone instead of the sd card
Here are the problems I'm facing
1. Without an sd card the phone always tries to update.
2. With a sd card and a dload folder I get a blue screen (normal boot, boot with volume +)
3. With a sd card and volume + and - I get the pink screen. So I can still access the phone ... but I have no idea what to do next.
It looks like somehow it doesn't matter what's on the sd card ... it just won't update what's on it (tried several sd cards .... all FAT 32 and a dload with an UPDATE.app in it)
I've already created a image dir with recovery.img boot.img etc ... but without any luck ...
So...is it still possible to flash any firmware?And ... does anybody know which kind of firmware version comes with a Huawei u8800+ from Mermobiles (I haven't heard from them yet).
If someone would be so kind to post the image dir somewhere that would be highly appreciated
Many many thanks in adance
Regards
Oh and by the way ... when you put a dload folder with an UPDATE.app on your sd card and you press the power on with volume + and - , you shouldn't see a pink screen but the update should start automatically?
Still no luck with finding an answe to my problem
I really hope someone could help me out.
No, if the update found on sd card, you will not see the pink screen. The update will start automatic.
Try to power off the device, remove the battery and connect it with usb cable on pc. Then press the combintation of power,vol+, vol- buttons.
Thank you for the reply ... I've alreaady tried to pull out the battery and connect it to the PC, but with volume + and - it gives me the same pink screen :-( and without pressing the volume + and - it gives me a blue screen :-(
Finally got CWM to work so I can flash roms .... but with every rom (tried 2 roms) the phone just crashes (no reboot .... a real crash) ... what can be the case?
Can it be because the kernels?
Thanks in advance
Hello guys, I bought a A500 few days ago and I was trying to delete some native applications when suddenly the tablet turned off and started to show a image of a android bug with the stomach open and a red triangle with a exclamation mark inside, I have tried to reset by the small hole and the power and volume sequence, but so far nothing happend. I think that I changed some kind of permission while trying to delete the applications. Isn't there anyway to revert this action? Any kind of recovery mode or something like that? It is 4 AM here and I'm desperate, I can't do anything. It only turns on and starts to show the little bug and then turns off, and turn on again. I tried to connect it to the computer but It doesn't recognize it.
Any guess?

Yep. You fubarred it. Hope you made a recovery backup? Cause you will need your UID number. Go to the dev forum, and check the thread on getting your UID. First page so you can't miss it. Only other option is to get an update.zip, copy to ext SD, and boot holding volume -, and then pwr and see if it installs.
I assume you are stock rooted? Or did you install an updated unlocked ics boot loader?
if you have a card reader put the sd in it and place the update.zip through windows , then reboot into cwm and install ,if you dont have recovery , do the trick with protrait mode that should help you get back to where you need to be , I formatted my sd though the card reader ,but you dont have to
Hey guys, thank you very much for the help! I flashed a stock ROM that I found here by putting the update.zip file on a external SD card and pressing power and -volume at the same time. Now I'll just have to update to ICS.

No problem.
Do us a favor though, get your UID number before you go messing around with ICS and unlocked bootloaders. Write it in a safe location. On the box or on your pc.
Or go over to the DEV section and READ ALL THE INFO YOU CAN! Pretty much anything by MD,Civato,Skrillax,blakthdr ,vache and Thor if you can find him, thats not all of them though
Where is the tutorial to get the UID number? I can't find it in the dev forum.

Hello there!
I have already used the search function, but I wasn't able to find my exact problem in any other post.
Yesterday I flashed the rom Carbon (4.4.2 maded by coderzs) on my p705, and today It appeared with the LG logo a little buggy, then I take out the battery and it never turns on again (no matter what key combination I used) and another surprise is that my 32gb micro sd was corrupted too, I can't even format it with HP disk storage format tool, neither I can use Recuva to get the files.
Plus, when I connect the phone to USB withouth battery it gets really hot.
Do anyone have an Idea of what to do? Actually I'm more concerned in recovering the SD card info or at least use it again in the future.
Thanks in advance.
New Info:
Now I can make it boot LG logo sometimes, but it still buggy and there is no key method to enter bootload emergency is working. =S
try this

1 try putting it in a blackberry while its on (old bb are the best) and it will prompt its corrupted say yes to format and then try plugging into recuva (worked for me numerous times)
2 did you try vol+ and vol- and power hold and release power after vibration and then use KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z
try link2sd it does same but on a different level

I will have to try to put the sd in another phone, but I don't know anyone with bb =S
Also, the only way to make the phone "boot" is holding vol+ (and any other key) and then it vibrates and sow a buggy LG logo, then it continously restart over and over again showing different buggy logos (LG ones).
THanks for the reply.
Other than trying kdz flash you can use LG official update tool to do an emergency update. You will in that process need to enter both imei&serial. Basically this also flash kdz but in addition it check and repair your partitions.
Hope it might help you :beer:
I will try that last advice, thanks
The SD card seems dead =S
It is recognized by the computer and devices, it shows 1gb instead of 32 and it needs to be formated, but no program let me do it.
I already have this problem with my girlfriend's phone last week-end and solve it!
I use a modified stock rom (root + cwm in KDZ) avaiable here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214717. ROM KDZ V20A_00 ROOT
Put the phone in emergency mode (power off the phone, plug it on usb to your pc, wait for the battery logo then press vol+ and power)
Start KDZ updater then flash the rom. After install, start cwm (vol+ vol- power home at same time) and do a wipe data factory reset and wipe dalvik and cache.
Reboot and it work! :victory:
Yes, I already did it too in the past, I bricked my phone twice, but this time is a hard brick, and wont let me get to emergency mode (there is no way, really I test it). It seems that I can't make it boot =S
Maybe all this is because I was using ART instead of davlink, and something may explode inside the phone.
Thanks anyway for the reply, I'l keep searching for some solution (the SD have more chances to keep alive I guess)
hmmm

does your phone come-up with blank (black but backlit) screen ?
if it does then you will be able to use kdz updater in attachment LG-RDTT_1.0.5.4 (needs included windows enabler for this version)
use THIS GUIDE to flash just skip the hosts file editing steps
and let us know
Okey, I'll try it in a moment
well, it didn't work =S
Computer don't recognize the phone, I tried with ubuntu, 3 windows and 2 mac.
When you say buggy logo do you mean there is visual distortion to screen?
if so it most likely will be hw damage
you got ubuntu can you see it in adb ?
Push/pull ?

No, and I'm not able to mount it neither.
The logo is as you say, but it reboots constantly and make some little color bars blur the image, then restart again and make some other kind of buggy image :x all with LG logo.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I finally choose to go for LG service, I'm going to call them tomorrow.
Thanks for the help and trying to solve my problem, I guess they will make my phone boot, but my SD will never come back, or that is what is seems =(
It keeps saying that it is read only, and that's why I can format it.
The reason I'm making this thread is because I was trying to root my Honor 8 and things just didn't work out in TWRP. Rebooted my phone and I realized I had bricked it since it would not boot after 10 minutes. Solutions seem to be scattered throughout different threads so here's guide for when you're stuck in a boot loop or you bricked your Honor 8.
What you'll need:
1. The firmware currently you are on. @Coolyou posted a guide for a firmware finder. Here is the post.
2. SD Card
What to do:
Step 1.
Download the correct firmware. It will be a .zip file.
Step 2.
Create a folder called dload in the root of your SD card, not your internal storage. Copy the .zip file the folder and unzip it or unzip it else where and copy the content into the dload folder
Step 3.
Power off Honor 8 (if possible, sometimes it'll auto boot up when forced shutdown)
Step 4.
Make sure your device is not plugged into a computer as it will load into something else.
Hold Vol+ & Vol- & Power. It will being to install the firmware from the dload folder if done correctly. If it instantly fails that means you downloaded the incorrect firmware the device is already one.
You're done! However, if your device does not go past the startup logo within 3 minutes proceed to step 5.
Step 5 is probably necessary as everytime I've bricked my device, I've had to do the next step.
Step 5.
Power off. Hold power and Vol+. Once in Recovery mode (not eRecovery), clear cache and format your device. Once done, reboot.
Ta-da, you're device is now back to normal.
Unfortunately, I cant seem to get to the part where it detects my dload folder and installs from the UPDATE.APP file. My phone keeps auto restarting whenever I try to turn off, and since bootloader is locked, I cant flash any images. Every time I hold down Vol+, Vol-, and power button the phone just vibrates twice and goes to the blue honor boot logo. I have successfully managed to get to the Fastboot menu by holding down Vol- and power button, but this menu is useless as bootloader is locked. Is there anything I can do?
Let go off the power button after the first vibration. Also make sure your phone is not plugged to a pc. With pc connected it boots into eRecovery instead of recovery. Good luck!
Edit:Also the guide does not make it 100% specific but the dload folder on the sd card needs to have the update.app file right inside it. If the structure is sd\dload\folder\update.app it also won't work.

Add me to the list, two soft bricked Honor 8's. Once I made the jump to Nougat and installed the Nougat version of TWRP 3.0.1-1, I started having issues. So, I tried to downgrade to FRD-L04C567B150 from FRD-L04C567B320 and had big problems installing B150. Always getting unable to load /data Has to be something to do with the new data structure of Nougat I have a copy of the full stock rom of B150 and B162 and have wiped the phone. I am trying to dload full B150 from SDcard but will fail immediately and says Wrong Version. I can get to fastboot and ADB. I also tried custom ROMs but that wont work because they need the basic Nougat structure to work from. I don't have a clue how to proceed seeing that I can't even wipe the phone and install a Full stock ROM B150 or B162??
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

UPDATE : It freaking worked!!! After an entire weekend of hair pulling and going way deep into Nougat and MM trying to find the cause, it was a simple Full ROM B162 that I dloaded and three fingered from the SD card (of course it has to be the exact ROM for your phone such as FRD-L04C567B###). WOW, two phones are back. I'll stay at FRD-L04C567B162 and like it.
Lesson Learned: When you try to do an eRecovery and the Honor 8 starts downloading new firmware from the internet it creates a new folder on the sd card called something like HwOC. In that folder is stored the new firmware that erecover plans to use on the recovery. IF this HwOC folder is present and you try to do a Full ROM three finger install with the B150 or B162 firmware in the dload folder, the recovery will stop and say something like invalid version. To fix, remove the HwOC folder so that only dload is present, now do the three finger start and the firmware will install without error. Worked twice for me.
Hi, my device is still not booting up after installing the matching dload firmware on my device from the honor 8 website (FRD-L09).
Is there still anything I can do to maybe get this fixed?
I created a nandroid backup of all partitions that I were able to back up, but even rolling back all partitions did not make it boot again.
Sadly, I am not able to get the device into e.g. fastboot mode anymore because it is not booting anymore and therefore cant get an adb shell on it.
I can still enter recovery mode, but when trying to boot it just stays at the blue screen with the white "honor" text after the short boot animation with the 3d text
Hi,
my phone keeps entering eRecovery and my PC does not recognize it so please how can I access it to install files. I think I have installed a wrong boot.img and recovery.img version of firmware.
Please I need help.
Thanks

I tried to put the Original Firmware on my device using the version from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...huawei-p9-lite-firmware-compilations-t3517124
I just have to create the "dload" folder on my fat32 SD-Card and put the UPDATE.APP in it, right?
Well, i tried that and it still says "Your device is booting now...".
Is there anything i can try to get it working in any way again?

However, when i held down all buttons and connected the battery, the red lightning icon lights up, and the led on the top blinks red 3 times, then it turns off and does the same thing again ...
The battery should be charged arround 50%, its deffinetly not empty.

Also if you unlock your bootloader, you arent covered by warranty anyway.
