Downgrade brick

I have tried to update to nougat but the camera didn't work even after restoring product_v3 on my l31. I tried to downgrade using the suggested oeminfo and b151 rom.
Now i just get the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted screen". At the bottom it says "Your device is booting now..." but it never boots.
I can't install anything via dload method as three button combo just boots to this screen. Power and volume up same screen... Power and volume down same screen... Can't boot to fastboot but thinking maybe that's because the phone won't actually switch off.
I've left it for ages and it's still stuck on the same screen.
Any ideas?

vns-l31 ? l21?
Disconnect the usb cable from the pc, turn off hisuite.
Reconnect the usb cable to the pc to see if it starts.
If it starts not to turn off.
Reset bootloader with fastboot or toolkit 0.0.0.8.
Started fastboot or toolkit0.0.0.8, plugged the usb cable and hold depressed volume - and power. He should go.
Code bootloader and twrp meticulus

L31 as I stated above and the phone is stuck on booting screen. Won't turn off and won't boot to fast boot I've already tried.

Thanks but that app just flashes partitions in fastboot. If I could get into fastboot I could flash partitions anyway

Have you tried volume down pressed whilst connecting to pc?

Yes of course but it just reboots to the same screen not the fastboot screen.

Sorry if it was a silly question to ask...went through all this myself earlier (except mine would power off...) but you said "Power and volume up same screen... Power and volume down same screen..." that's pretty much what mine did and I thought myself "why can't I get into fastboot", but power off and then [*without pressing power* vol down whilst connecting usb] worked.
If I restart my phone from the power menu and then immediately press vol down and connect to pc it boots to fastboot so it doesn't need to be powered off :good: but it does need to be connected to pc with the required drivers installed.

Finally got fastboot working and bootloader is unlocked but can't get anything to boot. Neither MM TWRP or Revolution TWRP will boot up.
Not sure where to go.
I've even tried extracting B151 and B161 and manually flashing boot recovery cust and system in fastboot but still no boot up...

Bootloader, twrpmeticulus, wipe, check all and wipe, install c432oeminfo.zip badwolf (see htcmania), turn off, restart with Dload b130,I read is b130 is best, b150, b160, b161. No matter it works all for me.

Strange thing is whenever i flash meticulous twrp it won't boot. I've tried through revolution recovery and by fastboot!
I can now actually get revolution twrp to boot but it doesn't mount system properly so won't flash anything at all.

7.in recovery go to reboot-> reboot bootloader
8.flash stock nougat's recovery with fastboot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQ...RYVXdKaU0/view (thanks to @algnerd )
9. reboot to recovery and do a factory reset (if you dont do that your phone will fall in a bootloop)

I think i've seriously messed it up now can't access anything again now just stuck at Your device is booting now... again after trying downgrade method again...

Yeah completely broken now no fastboot, no operating system, no recoveryand no dload. Just boots up to Your device has been unlocked etc and Your device is booting now...

Try to boot one more time to bootloader holding vol down and plugging usb without powering up phone. Then you need to flash twrp for nougat and flash oeminfo trough adb sideload. Do not reboot your phone after this, it won't start. Go back to and copy any app file (for example b160) then try to boot to bootloader and flash boot, recovery and system from nougat app file. Reboot phone holding all 3 buttons, it gonna take a while to boot and it should flash the system properly.

Literally can't get bootloader at all now all i get is the your device is booting now screen and nothingness...
Seriously messed up first phone i've ever bricked and i've been around android since my htc tattoo a LONG time ago

Made the mistake of paying for Phoenix DC as well but that's no use without bootloader mode so waste of 15 euros.

And now i get fastboot again but it says frp lock. DC Phoenix has flashed b151 and b161 but neither boots.
Dload method still fails...

So if now u can get to fastboot, u must unlock bootloader again (frp lock) flash twrp for nougat, copy app file to dload folder, flash oeminfo via adb sideload etc. Look at my previous post.

Send me a message, maybe i can help you..

HELP Soft Bricked A2017U

The issue I am having is that I wanted to set my phone back to factory, after I relocked the bootloader my phone when booting(with or without the volume keys) would shut off right after showing the ZTE boot screen. Now when I connect it, it shows up as HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)..
Ive been looking at these two forums similar to my problem:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/bricked-a2017u-t3573798
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/a2017g-totally-bricked-t3537990
I understand I should use the axon7tool(When I try "axon7tool -r boot" i get failed to connect) , but I dont know exactly what I am doing.. I apologize for me being so dumb about this but if someone could please spell out exactly what I would have to do, to get my phone back to factory settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
RECAP: Bootloader locked, shows up as HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5), It did have TWRP.
EDIT: When trying MiFlash, I get a ERROR_BAD_FORMAT 0

I just did the exact same thing you did and had the same issue. What worked for me was downloading the factory image from ZTE, putting it on an SD card, going into stock recovery (vol up + power) and select apply update from sd card. The file you download from ZTE is double zipped, so make sure to extract the update.zip file from the parent zip before you put it on the SD card. It will be in a folder with the same parent zip name. I no longer can boot into bootloader from stock recovery (not sure if that's normal), but at least my phone works again. Here's the link.
https://www.zteusa.com/axon-7#support
Hope this helps.
EDIT: I also had TWRP when I locked my bootloader, so I'm assuming you're able to get to stock recovery with volume up + power.

Doesnt let me boot into anything.. Not sure how I screwed it up this badly. Im trying a MiFlash method right now to see if it helps

what happens when you hold down volume up and power button at the same time? you should feel a vibrate and when you let go, you should see the stock recovery.

No, Just shuts off after the ZTE logo pops up

The phone might still be on at that point. When the ZTE logo would pop up for a split second for me, MiFlash was able to see the phone. What happens when you just hold the power button for about 10 seconds right after the screen goes off? Does it stay off?

I believe you are right, when the logo isnt up(after it disappears) that is when it connects as the COM5 otherwise when the logo pops up it disconnects the resumes the cycle.

so if I hold it, it just keeps showing the ZTE logo then shutting off

Just to clarify, holding down both the volume up and power button simultaneously at the same time for at least 3-5 seconds after the phone is off (not after the screen goes blank after the ZTE logo) still gives the same result as if you just pressed the power button?

Yes.

If MiFlash can see the phone, maybe you can unlock the bootloader again?

exact same problem as you, except MiFlash successfully flashes B19 but it still doesn't boot

What you need is FLASH stock recovery in EDL Mode.
That will fix your problem..
P.S. as soon you boot your device after Flashing stock recovery ,will perform a factory reset.

"E:failed to map file, Installation Aborted"
I have not tried to flash a redownloaded version of B15 because I cannot move the file onto my sd card. I was able to flash a signed twrp on locked bootloader before to enable MTP, but whenever I flash a signed twrp now, I just get stuck on zte screen. Why is this phone so inconsistent?

No Reboot After TWRP Flash

Hello, i had a lot of troubles with battery drains recently, by curiosity i wanted to restore my stock backup.
So i did and the phone was stuck during rom boot.
So i wanted to go back to TWRP to fix things but instead it went back to stock recovery.
Okay, so i wanted to flash TWRP again but after flashing the recovery.img,
nothing happens when i enter fastboot reboot
I forced shutdown and re tried many times with other twrp files, always the same issue i cannot reboot with the flashed recovery ! ! !
please HELP :angel:

To boot to recovery, shut down the phone, press volume up + power button, when the phone vibrate release the buttons and it will boot to recovery.
The command "fastboot reboot" will just reboot normally the phone.

sorry but my problem is that i cannot reboot in twrp anymore, it always reboot on STOCK recovery !
dunno what to do i got to meet foreign customers tomorrow without my phone i dunno how i'll do, so unlucky it happened to me today
i even tried flashing on another computer, and trying to restore with stock recovery or huawei app but none are working.
to make it clear, i can just fastboot.
so what should i flash to restore/unbrick my phone ? don't care if i lose data, just need to call tomorrow !
edit: some folks say to put update.app in load folder on sd card then boot with the three buttons but which update.app file should i copy ? i got a VNS-L31 should the SD card be in FAT32 ?

Are you sure you flashed TWRP? Try to download it again and flash it from fastboot mode.

yes sure i did it like 20 times this afternoon, i'm trying to fix it for 5 hours lol
in fact i just was able to boot the restore .app while booting with the three buttons, it's installing updates, hope it will fix all the partitions/recovery/boot/system... and all those necessary stuffs
edit: finally huawei animated boot logo is showing UP !

i was using meticulous TWRP v3 and some of his builds for several months and i had trouble with those roms.
so i restored my stock backup and everything was not working anymore, each i tried flashing it always went back on stock recovery a every reboot, impossible to flash twrp anymore...
looks like the phone is stuck in a boot loop lol pfffft
edit:
FYI what i just tried is restoring this image http://consumer.huawei.com/lk/support/products/downloads/huawei-p9-lite-lk.htm (the first one ASIA) but the phone is still booting looks like a fail, could it be incompatible ?

I see.
If you managed to restore with the update.app and the 3 buttons, everything should be fine. It will take some time to boot up, so just wait for a while. Also the bootloader probably re-locked so you will need to unlock it again.

it can relock ? i will check !
if it does not work should i fast boot flash system.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and boot.img ?

I think the best thing to do should be a factory reset from recovery, stock is fine, then reboot and wait for 15-20 minutes. If the update.app succefully installed there should be no problem

Install of LOS, hit snag at TWRP update

Hey everyone,
I was running through the process of installing LOS 15.1 official when I hit a snag. I unlocked the bootloader, installed the Universal O bootloader, and was in the process of updating my version of TWRP. After flashing the image to recovery, I noticed that the TWRP version hadn't updated to the new one. I tried rebooting and that's when the problem started. Now, when I hit power + volume up, I get the ZTE powered by android screen, then 3 flashes of the notification light, and then it powers off. If I hit the power button, it sits on that same ZTE splash screen for what seems like indefinitely. I can't figure out how to get back into TWRP.
Any help is greatly appreciated

You can try flashing twrp via the twrp app

Hey!
Try to reboot the phone, press volume button to get the selection menu and reboot to fastboot.
connect the phone to your PC and using the a7toolkit flash the recovery again.
I think I did exactly the same thing as you and I fixed it this way

I assume you are coming from stock because you're unlocking your bootloader. I have a question about this process, did you install an older twrp first before flashing the O bootloader?

When I connect my phone to my computer, none of the toolkits I've tried can see it. It comes up as "Handset Diagnostic Interface (DFU) (Com4)". When I attempt to enter EDL mode with volume +, volume -, and power I don't get a flashing LED, just a solid one. As near as I can tell, this means my phone is hardbricked. I've got an EDL cable on order to hopefully fix this, but it's going to take almost a month to get here :crying:

Yes, the toolkit I used (Axon7RootToolV4) first unlocked the bootloader and then had a step to flash TWRP. When I was attempting to update TWRP, per the LOS instructions, it wasn't updating like it has in the past on other phones. I now know that restarting was the worst thing to do at that point. If the version of TWRP doesn't also match the bootstack and ROM, you're going to have a bad day if you restart.

Hi dude,
if you're on stock rom try this:
reboot in bootloader/fastboot mode, connect the device to your PC,
open the prompt and type fastboot reboot.... you should solve.
Instead if you're on custom rom let me know.
If you installed some software/app and stucked into bootlooping,
you should be aware of which app you installed last and booting in recovery mode (TWRP)
try to delete it manually.
Cheers

Well

Thats the problem.
I can enter in the bootloader, the phone have the TWRP, are now whats happen but i can enter in the custom recovery.
The screen turns black and grey.
youtube com/watch?v=h9oMBpD0MZQ&feature=youtu.be
The phone dont have a custom rom, is the stock rom.
I erase the system and data in the TWRP, because a problem with my google acount in the phone. but it was worse for the phone.
The only thing i have to do is enter in the stock recovery, and the software installer(vol+ vol - and power).
I cant use the ADB minimal and fastboot. The phone is reconized by the PC, but the program no.
I think this is the only possibility, i download many firnwares, but in all the screen shows "Software install failed incompatible with current version"
In the 3% or 10%.

Wow, you erased system and data ? that's the reason because it will not boot dude.
Fortunately fastboot mode and twrp works and i think that will help you
bring your device back to life.
Do you remember latest firmware of your device ?
Which TWRP version are on ?

And no, the TWRP dont works, dont enter in there. The phone stucks entering in the custom recovery. But the stock recovery works. The custom no, the stock yes.

You flashed the TWRP but don't work ?
Fastboot mode is bootloader mode so.....
what happen if you turn off the device and restart it
holding vol - and power button until it boot into system/bootloader ?
And vol + vol - and power buttons = three buttons aka DLOAD method are used to flash a firmware
but only in android 6.
Without know the latest firmware you was running on your device
it's very difficult to revive the phone, regardless of the type of device...
Another way to try to revive the phone is a rebrand but it is a bit difficult
and you need the correct files with a working TWRP...
Sorry dude i think i cannot help you anymore...
I wish you the best
