So I loved this phone long time ago, but after I got a new one, I decided to play with P9 Lite. I installed installed lineage, I had fun for a while, but I decided I want the stock soft once again. During 'rollback', something has happened and possibly bricked the phone. I forgot about it because I had some things to do in life, but now I came back to fix it...but I don't know how. It is still on a bootloop, but I can launch fastboot. I flashed some of twrp's out there, but I still cannot enter any of them. I can't use dload method, because it doesn't work either. Can anyone help me, please?
Try to go into the stock recovery , and if is possible do a cache wipe. Check if the bootloader is locked or not ( because after some operations it may be locked again ) and then try to flash a recovery in recovery and also in the Erecovery partitions.
i have same situation, flashed a lot of twrp, still cant enter none
Return back stock recoveries. I really don't think that TWRP will help you now. With stock recoveries reinstalled, try to flash B160/B161 (depending on if you have dual/single SIM) (you can choose pretty much any stock A6 version, but I think that B160/B161 is the best of all.). After a successful flash, a factory reset should start.. I think that you don't even need an unlocked bootloader or FRP.
NEVER EVER flash the rollback package two times in a row. And also, DO NOT flash Android 7 (B3xx/B5xx). Both of these actions will result in the need of DC Phoenix. Or even into a useless brick.

Hi,
1. If somebody experience this issue with lack of netwrok after Nougat full Rom update, like:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71063185&postcount=121
than follow this fix from another thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71054990&postcount=1456
for me it all seems to work fine now.
2. If somebody has issues with MiFlash, I think it is actually better to do the flash within first 5-10, after that it gives strange errors. If so, restrt EDL and press flash on MiFlash a bit faster .
Regards
I failed to boot nougat using these steps:
Boot to edl.
Flashed using miflash full b15 file and then b15 twrp file.
Flashed in twrp a2017 N modem.
Then it gets stuck at 5 secs screen and phone just reboots back to edl. Am i doing it wrong?
However it boots to nougat if only flashing just the b15 full.
Hi,
I had stock B13 Chinese. I MiFlahed fastboot_unlock packge,
did fastboot oem unlock,
MiFlashed B15 twrp,
copied NON-HLOS.bin file from Chinese modem(link above) into extracted B15 Full package folder(which replaced exsiting file in there) ,
reset dalvik etc.from twrp,
flashed B15 full which included already new modem file,
I let it boot finally till the end into standard mode.
This way I don't even have twrp now and all works fine.

Hi, what you mean you don't have twrp? Is it possible to install it somehow again? Is it possible to install SuperSU then? I'm asking this because I want to install A2017U B15 firmware (with OTA support) on A2017 (Chinese model with B13, stock recovery and locked bootloader) and just want to be sure in everything before I start Many thanks!

Hi,
If you MiFlash B15 Full package it overwrites recovery partition...it is a full package after all. If you want TWRP on your nougat after that you need to Miflsh the B15 TWRP package. However inside the TWRP package, there is also modem driver file which you need to first replace with the new modem file, same as with B15 FULL package.
It is al soooo simple. I had some issues with MiFlash initially, as I read somewhere to "keep the vol up down, power fo 5 sec, release, wait 5seconds and than flash"
However I had near 100% success rate when I did press the flash button around 2-5 seconds after booting into EDL mode. Once you do oem unlock, the process is simple as burning ISO image on a CD
I have it now without that last step. It is unlocked, but without TWRP. I did however MiFlashed TWRP yesterday and it did work fine than as well. I don't however think I need TWRP anymore. I did Dalvik etc. reset during upgrading to Nougat... and that's all I needed it for. Maybe I'm wrong and I will MiFlash it again some day, but honestly, this was first time I flashed any Android phone as I come from Nokia- Windows Phone and all I wanted is working Daydream, Netflix VR for my long business flights. It works now. The rest I might need I will install from play store.
It does have that message about unlocked bootloader when you boot the phone, but it does not bother me and I read somewhere that it is better not to relock he phone.
How do I even know if it's OTA capable? When I checked updates, it says your phone is up to date.
Regards
Ok, now is everything much more clear to me, thank you!
Please help fellow china version users... @RubiCom
I have flashed b15 and the updated modem for china but my signal is still unusable. It keeps restarting the sim and when I go to sim settings, "com.android.phone" crashes. Some other settings related to calls/sim also crashes.
my sim is working fine when I'm on LOS. I really just want to use stock system since audio isn't fully fixed with LOS.
BTW, i'm already BL unlocked since b13. Do I still have to flash b15 twrp? I mean I could just fastboot flash twrp after installing full b15. Is there something special miflashing the b15 twrp package?

I follow all the steps in original thread and after all everything works (at least for me) . But, it was a little bit complicated to make it work
So, first after unlocking I installed B15 TWRP, then entered into TWRP and deleted cache, dalvik, etc.. After that I put my phone into EDL again and flashed B15 original (I didn't boot phone to OS between flashing ROM's at all). But, on boot B15 original I still had some chinese symbols and I couldn't finish setup (phone stuck at google account setup). So, I repeated this three steps (installation of B15 TWRP, wiping everything in TWRP and installation of B15 original) again. This time I've got "android encrypted" or some similar message on boot B15 original(??!!), but after reboot everything was completely normal (except message that bootloader is unlocked, which is normal). I don't have TWRP, but 2G/3G/4G signal is great on both SIM's without lose and I have official updates. Comparing with chinese MM, this Nougat is far more better and faster, like I have a new phone

I figured out what's wrong my my setup but still I can't find a way to fix this.
It seems that when I use my original sim cards (2 sims with the same provider), they both get disconnected every second.
When I put another sim from another provider, it does work but still my original sim doesn't get signal. even when changing slots.
I'm really confused how to make them work together.

That's weird. I'm also using SIM's from same providers, but without any problems.. Don't know what to tell, maybe you can try install B15 TWRP and wipe everything, then install B15 original and try again.. First time I also had some weird problems...

this is actually wierd. I had this problem my my sims. And I had flashed this many times already trying out different methods including miflash and even stock flashable zips from draken. all yields to the same results.
Do you have any idea where to tweak carrier settings from system files? i tried *#*#4636*#*# but still fails.
Unfortunately I don't know it. I guess I had plenty of luck flashing these ROM's, considering how many people have problems..
Hey all! I havent seen anyone posting about this and I know there has been a lot of question about it here on the forum... This is the process I went to in restoring my phone completely back to stock... even reset the bootloader. I kept my unlock code and have successfully reused the same code multiple times on my device. Also Im apologizing now for spelling errors and formatting... Im not putting too much effort into it as im tinkering with phone on the interim.
I Just recently got the Huawei notification to update to EMUI 5. I was rooted on stock firmware and just uninstalled all the bloatware I didnt want making the phone perfect for my needs. I saw that there was a root for Nougat and updated without looking into it much further... I didnt realize it wasnt SuperSU and I havent figured out how to get it succesfully flashed. I got the PHH method working but it was not the Root I was looking for. I couldnt do a number of things.
So now I was stuck. I didnt make any backups because I am dumb and I completely wiped the phone.. formatted the device. (It is usually how i did my samsung phones because i kept all important data on external) I basically bricked the phone to where all I had was fastboot mode and twrp 3.0.2 for honor 8 ( 3.0.3 wasnt working for me, heck no other version period was working).
I went to Huaweis Websiteand downloaded the official rollback package and the official 6.0 package they have on that page.
Using the huawei image extractor I extracted the recovery for both of the images and put them in the respective folders i made for them.
While still in TWRP i did another full wipe of phone, then while plugged into pc , I put the dload folder from rollback package on the internal storage, I rebooted from twrp into fastboot, loaded the recovery.img from the rollback package, rebooted phone, and unplugged from pc.
I then held volume up, down, and power to force the update of the rollback. It did so successfully.
I then repeated the process, flashing the 6.0 recovery and putting that UPDATE. package in the dload folder on INTERNAL STORAGE! ( that part seemed to be key, I kept failing from ext sd card)
and voila! I am back to complete stock.
This is really a guide as a reminder for myself of the process I went through and for anyone else who may be trying to do the same, or is stuck..
Basically if you have unlocked bootloader and you can get into fastboot you are able to use a combo of twrp and stock recoveries that will get you back to stock and even re lock your bootloader erasing all flags
I'd like to give this Nuclear ROM a try. My device is bootloader unlocked and currently has no OS on it. My device was rooted and last thing I tried doing with it was installing the recent stock Nougat release. Reading that one thread I never went through the steps of restoring what was needed I believe in step two to be able to put stock Nougat on it.
I don't care about stock anymore and will try out this ROM. Holding Power and Volume Down I can get to the options for recovery mode/etc. When I select recovery mode the device reboots and sits at the bootloader unlocked screen. Regardless of which option I select the device reboots and sits at the bootloader unlocked screen. If it's bricked so be it. If it can be restored can anyone point to a thread or have any suggestions?
Flash full stock Nougat:

Files for fastboot you have to find:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/page1
After one boot you can flash twrp & custom rom, f.e. Nuclear. @lip008
Thanks. I just needed a refresher. Everything for fast boot was installed and TWRP was still in the folder. For some reason i thought i was worse off than i was.
Back up and running with this NucleaROM. I may retire the s8+ and go back to this as my DD.
Greetings everyone,
today I purchased a new G950F S8. Immediately I wanted to root the device, and in order to do so - installed TWRP via Odin 3.13.3 (flashed the newest version for Exynos models downloaded from their web-site). The flashing process went through fine - everything checked out, at least seemingly.
When I first restarted my phone (followed the instruction), it booted up in it's default recovery, NOT TWRP recovery. That seemed strange, so I double checked the instruction - which claimed I need to quickly boot into recovery, as soon as the flashing process is done and the phone is first restarted. Maybe I was slow.. I re-flashed TWRP, and this time it booted into TWRP. Now, this is when the problem started.
I didn't touch anything within TWRP, I was just satisfied to see it installed. When I tried to restart into System, I got the Samsung logo bootloop. I couldn't power off the phone, nor could I boot it up. I could, however, alternate between download mode and TWRP. I tried changing System format and then changing it back to original (saw that somewhere), but it didn't help. Tried factory reset without results.
Finally I downloaded official stock ROM for Italy, flashed via Odin and everything works fine.
Thing is - I really want to root my phone. Had no issues with my Note 3 previously. I wouldn't want to get into more trouble, so I'm kindly asking for some advice, or a useful link (I searched all over but didn't find anything that would make me feel confident enough not to screw it up again) to how I can do this safely.
I'm using Android 9, official stock ROM for Italy.

When you first flash twrp and boot into twrp you have to format phone from within twrp, then flash no Verity zip and rmm bypass zip. If you reboot system before you format then you get bootloop. There is full instructions in a thread here on XDA.
First of all why did this happen, presumably I wasn't doing anything wrong or uninformed. I just unlocked the bootloader successfully, afterward as many threads claimed I flashed twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix, and now it simply wont boot neither to system nor twrp. Why did this happen?
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!
Mi 9T (M1903F10G)
Did you try to power off and then turn back on holding power and volume up? I had this issue yesterday but doing the vol up and power got me to twrp then did format and it booted up

Thank you for your reply. You can't even power off, it will simply bootloop forever into fastboot. Nonetheless I managed to fix it by flashing fastboot ROM using MIFlash, but man, didn't expect root solutions to be this complicated, unstable, and outdated for our beloved Mi 9T. I simply want to achieve root in the stock rom, and wasted 7 hours yesterday and still got nowhere. I come from a classic LG G2, when things were much simple and straight forward back then. You can stop reading here, but now I had to:
Wait 1 week for bootloader unlock.
Flash TWRP, which soft bricked my phone right away. Why on earth, a recovery image provided in many reliable tutorials from multiple sources cause soft-brick in the second step is beyond my comprehension. I am still genuinely curious why did this happen, and why such a broken image is still circulating here?
Then I had to inform myself all about Anti Rollback, in order to prevent it happening, and concluded that MiFlash is safe, so I got MiFlash and a fastboot rom.
Apparently Mi Flash is terribly buggy and kept showing .net error exceptions because a "LOG" folder was missing in root folder, so let's waste one hour scratching our heads what the hell is happening because the developer missed a simple MkDir line during development.
After creating LOG folder, and installing drivers, couldn't flash any fastboot ROM because my 9T antiroll back number is 1 while fastboot rom ARB index was 0.
Then it appears that this error has actually nothing to do with ARB, but it is because I had to a) start MiFlash from C:\, b) remove name spaces in target address and c) shorten fastboot ROM folder name. So I had to get all these 3 variables right in order to resurrect my phone. MiFlash terrible programming didn't stop at step 4) but it extends into showing entirely confusing ARB errors that have nothing to with the real problem, rather petty programming bugs such as folder naming.
Finally managed to boot up 9T, and we're back at square one.
Afterward successfully flashed mauronofrio TWRP including vbmeta and got recovery working.
I decided to try out few custom ROMs since all my data were erased anyway, but it appears my system was encrypted and TWRP showed encrypted alphanumeric characters, so I had to format data in order to flash files.
Now every-time I flash stock ROM .zip I lose TWRP, and every-time I reflash mauronofrio TWRP I end up in recovery bootloop, and so I can't manage to have both at same time in order to move with the Magisk flash.
10 steps and 7 hours later and still got nowhere, just risked bricking my phone.
Now we have to deal with
a) bootloader wait,
b) twrp encryption mess,
c) anti roll back risk,
d) buggy MiFlash
e) safety net measures
f) no custom ROMs that are pre-rooted and simple
g) dependency of stock ROM files - meaning you can't wipe everything including system and just flash custom ROM .zips, like I used to do with 5 android phones before this one. Now you are somehow dependent on original ROM files which probably means you will have to base install stock MI before you flash anything Xiaomi.EU, Evolution X, PixelExperience etc. When did things get so complicated? It seems every year new limitations are introduced and the sheer combination to get them all right give headaches.
Anyway, all I want is to install latest stock ROM from TWRP and keep TWRP so I can also flash Magisk. In other words, how to simply have a rooted stock?
Your mistake is to not use Official TWRP instead of an old TWRP version...

Thanks for your reply! Yes, that must have been it. Those outdated tutorials should be removed.
Now I flashed miui_DAVINCIEEAGlobal_V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM through latest TWRP, but it removed TWRP. When I reflash latest TWRP then it ends up in bootloop.
EDIT: Ended up reflashing all over again using MiFlash. Now the only problem remaining is which version of Magisk is compatible with miui_DAVINCIEEAGlobal_V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM?
What are you flashing with? I am now using xiaomitools v2 and it installed twrp and magisk with no problems.
I flashed the EU custom stable, I was global but I wanted to compare the 2 and I like the EU better.
I came from a non rootable lg g7.
I have not flashed custom ROMs since my old Galaxy note days.

Never heard of XiaomiTools v2, it seems like a great alternative. I used buggy MiFlash to flash fastboot ROM, flashed TWRP, then got a bootloop, formatted data from TWRP and flashed Magisk. It seems everything is working fine now, but in the future I'll make sure to check XiaomiTools v2.
I never used stock ROMs in any of my past phones, first thing I did when I bought a new phone is unlock bootloader and install Lineage or Cyanogenmod back in the days. But somehow I like MIUI so all I needed was root.
It is hard to believe that there are actually phones that have no root at all.

Hey, I'm facing the same issue you faced here. Waited 7 days to unlock bootloader, after unlocking it, flashed a twrp i found on one of the youtube tutorials. Immediate bootloop. Im fairly new to all of this, and dont understand what certain words even mean tbh. Do you mind guiding me in fixing my phone? Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.
