Hi guys,
Unable to boot after c*cking up a manual upgrade from B10 to B11 on my A2017G and would love your input. I feel like if I can just install TWRP again it should be an easy fix. Here's some specifics:
1. my phone is unlocked, rooted and running stock firmware.
2. I was trying to install stock recovery to install the B11 update. I did so but also tried to install another zip (B10 bootloader?) which I seem to have flashed wrong. Now just get the screen as shown on attachment and cannot boot.
3. Stock recovery seems to have been flashed and I can boot to this. From here I can boot to bootloader but can't seem to do anything from there.
4. I try update via ADB with the sideload command, but get the message "E:footer is wrong. E: Signature verification failed. Installation aborted".
5. I try to Update from SD as have the firmware zip file and TWRP on the root of my external SD card, but get the message "Couldn't Mound /sdcard, aborted."
6. The only time my phone shows as a connected device in ADB is when I try to sideload files. No other ADB code seems to work, only get the message "error: closed" on the terminal.
Assuming I've got all the firmware files (and full backups on my external SD) I feel like if I can just install TWRP again it should be an easy fix. So, any ideas on how I install TWRP given situation above?
Best,
Neil

Are you able to boot into EDL mode by typing ADB reboot edl ?
If so you can flash desired recovery with axon7tool

Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately not, just get the message "error: closed" in the terminal. Is there a button combination I could press in order to get into EDL?

Try vol+ + vol- + power
it seems that the only time my device will show as connected in ADB is when I navigate through Recovery and select the "Apply Update from ADB" option. But even then, whilst it shows as connected, it only seems to allow the "sideload" command. Please see screenshot of Terminal. So at no other time will it show as a connected device.
Similarly, to have it show up in Device Manager, it'll only show when I switch the phone off, hold down Vol+ & Vol- and attached the power cable.
You are still on MM. So you are able to boot into bootloader.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
Now it should show your device as fastboot
If so you can now flash recovery with “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img“

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately as mentioned the only time my device shows as connected in Terminal is when I select "Update via ADB" whilst in recovery. Otherwise the device never shows as connected in adb.
So unfortunately fastboot doesn't seem to be an option for me.
Perhaps my drivers are out of whack but assuming what I've done to my phone hasn't changed that, it must be something PC - side.

But what if it shows your device as sideload? Can't you there reboot into fastboot?
No, it doesn't accept the command. Only one accepts is sideload. You can see from my screenshot a few posts back that the device is connected but shows different to how it normally would.
Breakthrough!
I seemed to follow the steps I've tried 100 times today and I now have TWRP installed again!
Thanks again to those who helped
I had stock android 7, used the toolkit, "Unlocked" the bootloader, after that there was a part with erasing all data to factory due to an error, something along the lines there was a pin or password detected, and after I pressed reset the screen went black, and when it tries to boot it shows ZTE for a second and then it vibrates and shuts off instantly. So I can get it in to edl mode and I see the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in my devices, but I can't find any thread to fix this. Tried flashing stock firmwares via MiFlash, no luck. And the thing is, most roms I download give me a batch of files in a zip, if I put them in a folder and try to flash I get this - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Help asap, because I am having a horrible time using my partially destroyed S6 Edge Plus. If I spelled smth wrong sorry, Russian here.
This is what I had - My device is stuck on an 'Enter your password to start Android' screen.
Unfortunately this requires a factory reset.
1) Boot your device into recovery mode by pressing and holding the power and volume up buttons for 10-15 seconds.
2) Stock Recovery: Use the volume down key to go down to 'Wipe data/factory reset' and press power to select. Press the volume down key again to go down to 'Yes' and press power to select.
TWRP Recovery: Tap "Wipe" < Tap "Advanced Wipe" < Check the box next to "data" < Tap "Repair or change file system" < Tap "EXT4" < Swipe to confirm.
3) Reboot your device.

I had a similar problem on my 2017U model after flashing a .zip that was supposed to remove the "bootloader is unlocked" screen that shows up after you unlock the bootloader. Long story short, the .zip wasn't meant for U models. Only G. So my phone was in a worse situation than yours and would not power on. You'll need to download an EDL recovery firmware .zip for your phone and place it within the toolkits folders manually and then go through the steps of the toolkit which I'll try to help you do.
First, download the full stock B09 (G) firmware from here. You can OTA update to the latest firmware after a successful flash. It's okay to flash an older firmware in this situation.
Once done, navigate to C:\Axon7Development\Axon7Toolkit\MiFlash\B09\ (copy/move the full .zip of the B09 firmware you downloaded in the first step into this folder) If the B09 folder doesn't exist under \MiFlash, create it manually.
Run the toolkit again from the start and type 11 "RESTORE TO STOCK/RECOVER FROM HARDBRICK (EDL)" and hit enter. On the next screen type in the number that will restore B09. It should tell you how to put the phone in EDL mode and automatically open MiFlash. Make sure to follow the steps and paste the directory path of the firmware in the top bar in MiFlash. After you pasted it his Flash and it should successfully flash the firmware. If it gives you an error or times out, unplug the phone and try a different USB port or USB cable. It's obviously recommended you use the one that came with the phone. My first attempt at MiFlash timed out and didn't flash anything. I tried a different USB port and then it flashed.
After it flashes the firmware, leave the phone plugged in and hold down the power button for about 10 seconds until it restarts out of EDL. From there you should have a working phone again with some exceptions. It'll be on an older firmware so I would recommend booting into stock recovery and factory resetting data and wiping your cache. Then restart the phone and do an OTA update to the latest firmware. After you reach the latest firmware you can then use the toolkit for whatever you need.
Sidenote, your English is very good considering you're Russian. No need to apologize because your post had no spelling errors. :highfive:

I haven't read what the other guy said, but basically you have to use miflash. just use my DFU unbrick guide but from the point where you short the testpad to enter EDL. But instead of opening the phone just put it in edl via adb reboot edl or holding vol+ - and inserting the cable

Did you create the B09 folder in the MiFlash directory? I also had errors downloading firmwares through the toolkit, which is why I had to do it manually and move the firmware into the proper directory for the toolkit.

After I unlocked the bootloader via the toolkit by bkores, I get a message "To start android enter your password" even though it was a stock system with no password. Like I got every possible error and solved it and now this, just why?

that's totally normal. Your internal storage is encrypted, you have to go into TWRP and format data (not wipe, format). Anyways by unlocking you lose all of your data so it's not like you lose anything
If it doesn't work, then you'll have to change the data partition's filesystem because it may be in F2FS. Change it back to ext4 if that happens

I have unlocked my phone, hoping to find a fix to USB external camera not being recognized. As a consequence, I am not able to update my system through OTA. Moreover, I am no longer able to enter fastboot mode. Whatever key combination I tried, my phone will do a normal boot. When I power up or I press volume - I only end up doing a normal boot or powering off. If I press all 3 keys together I get into the e-recovery boot, which fails. I have only been able to boot into TWRP after downloading a system update and choosing to install it. With this procedure, the update will not be installed, but I will boot into TWRP. From here, if I choose recovery, I do boot into fastboot, but my fastboot is not recognized by my computer, as it was before. Running either ADB or Fastboot will not reveal any device connected.

When you use key combinations, you must shutdown your phone first, not reboot or you can boot into system, make sure that usb debugging is turned on, open adb and type "adb reboot bootloader".

Thanks, I followed your instructions but with no success. As soon as I plug into USB it will power on and go on with a normal system boot, no matter how quick I am in typing the command "adb reboot bootloader", which invariably returns "no devices/emulators found", or whether I press the volume - button or not. This also happens when I am in the charging screen (not sure whether this also equals power off).

No, you need to boot to Android to use adb.
Is your device bricked or stuck in a bootloop or something?

I wouldn’t call it properly bricked, inasmuch as it is actually doing its job. However, It does some strange things: it gets the OTA updates, but when I click on Download and Install, it restarts in the TWRP menu (which I cannot otherwise access. I have 2 TWRP apps installed, which don’t seem to be of any use: official TWRP App and TWRP Manager). When I am in the TWRP menu, I can choose to restart in the bootloader. However, once there, with the green window telling me that my phone is flashed, the phone is still not detected by ADB or Fastboot commands. I don’t know when the bootloader started to be unaccessible because I left the tinkering a couple of months ago, when I realized that nobody so far has had any success in getting a P10 Lite to work with a USB Endoscope.

Thats normal behaviour, when you have a custom recovery installed and do anything in the stock recovery then it boots you into the custom recovery, it should also boot to TWRP when you do factory reset in the stock recovery. And when your phone isn't detected by fastboot then its probably a adb and fastboot installation issue on your PC, type "fastboot devices" to see if it detects your device. And what do you even want to do in fastboot?
Also are you in Nougat or Oreo?

I am not too sure to have any working recovery at all, right now. If I press all 3 buttons, I get into the Huawei recovery mode, which fails. I am on EMUI 5.1.1 (Nougat) and would like to install a stock recovery to Oreo. If I am able to get to a working bootloader mode, I would like to install this file which seems to be a stock recovery with Oreo (WARSAW L21C432B182_EU_SERVICE_ANDROIDHOST.RU.RAR). Otherwise, I will buy a MicroSD card reader and try copying this installation to the card, which, according to this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vDgDXePAR4&feature=youtu.be) should be the last resort, if everything else fails. I would be perfectly happy to return to a working and updated standard EMUI. I'm told that if I installed the OTA version this would not be working correctly on my my phone. According to an app called Rootchecker, my phone is not properly rooted either, but there are a lot of crappy apps out there, so I don't know what to believe.
BTW: I don't believe there is any problem with my adb fastboot installation (on MacOS). It was working earlier on. When I type "fastboot devices", it returns: "waiting for any device"

I still can't uderstand you. Can you boot into Android or not? And Does TWRP work? When you device is softbricked, what did you do to brick it?
At one point you say that you can access fastboot by choosing reboot to bootloader in TWRP and then you say that you have no working recovery at all.
Anyway I can't help you with the fastboot thing then and that file isn't Oreo it's an old version of Nougat, B360 and up is Oreo and also B321 witch is Oreo Beta. You can only flash image files in fastboot anyway as that file needs to be unpacked and put on the dload folder on your sd card.
When you want to get to Oreo you can either use service roms from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/service-rom-b362-c432-upgrade-o-o-n-o-t3813946, you need to copy the two zip files into the dload folder in your SD card. You can also use HWOTA but that wouldn't work since fastboot isn't working for whatever reason. Or when your custom recovery is working you can use HuRUpdater. But you need to be on the newest version of Nougat B210 or B209 to update as otherwise you may brick your phone.
Hi all, so I tried to flash a custom rom for the first time and was stupid enough to try to flash stock firmware (from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini/development/firmware-stock-firmware-t3696538) without first flashing TWRP.
Now when I boot into android recovery reboot and reboot to bootloader doesn't work and gives me a strange heart beat sound, also when powering off and plugging in the charger. Now I can only 'Apply update from ADB' and when using the adb tool I cannot do 'adb reboot edl' and can only sideload or get info.
When sideloading every file I tried gives an error when verifying, either 'footer is wrong' with 'error: 21' or that the whole-file signature failed.
I tried sideloading my read boot and recovery files, stock firmware bootstack & system and boot, twrp image, 7.1.1 b12 & b13 noverity images, and the eu v1.2.0 b13 update.
I have an EU version 7.1.1/NMF26V/20170909.121037 which is probably b13 which I last updated before trying to flash a custom ROM.
adb devices -l gives: 6064a8eb sideload product852A11 model:ZTE_B2017G device:tulip transport_id:2
Probably what needs to happen is for the phone to get into EDL mode, but I have no idea how.
The US version trick with both volumes buttons + power just gets me into Android Recovery, should I get an EDL cable?
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

Hi! Try to check if the "Apply update from a SD card" option is active in the menu. It well may be.
The same problem happenned to my phone a couple of days ago after I deleted a custom rom, and the "apply update from the ADB sideload" menu option didn't work properly. However, I managed to install B16 firmware from my SD card via the "update from the SD card" menu line.
I have the EU Axon 7 mini version. The B16 firmware that successfully restored my phone is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79336783&postcount=91
As for the ways to get your phone into the EDL mode, you can try to push and hold "Volume -" and "Power" buttons simultaneously. This should bring your EU version phone into the FTM mode. Then you can check if the phone is seen via ADB ("adb devices" command). If yes, then just type "adb reboot edl". (However, in my case the buttons didn't work. )

Yes, that worked. Thank you so much!
I have a old phone that had been stuck at this state for a while,
`orange state, your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5 seconds`
Should I follow this guide to un-brick it?

I have tried to follow the guide but after pressing volume up and down button the phone does not boot. Only shows it is in orange state.
Also if I hold the volume down button and the power button, it shows booting in fastboot.
But the FlashOne app cannot detect any phone.
What should I do ??:crying::crying::crying::crying:

What should I do? You need to read, the answers to your questions are here a million times over. Always do your homework first. Also thank someone who helps you. Otherwise they will not continue helping you.
FlashOne: Why are you using FlashOne? You are not bricked. Also FYI, if using FlashOne , you have to be in EDL mode. not fastboot.
Now here is probably good news, since you can enter fastboot then you are very likely just fine,and you are definitely not bricked. However, you will probably end up losing any files that you had on the phone, because the user data( storage ) will most likely need to be formatted, (type yes reboot to recovery)
So my instructions are to help get your phone working again, not to recover data. Unfortunately, you didn't provide much information so I have to assume some things.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Have you flashed custom roms before?
Which phone do you have? A Leeco X5?? A Leeco X6??
Let guess and say that maybe bootloader is unlocked, you are asking a question on XDA so maybe that is a safe guess?
What you need to do is use ADB or the the Tool all in One and flash Recovery and root. Here comes the reading part again, I can't explain everything or I will be here all day. I assume that you know how what Recovery and root is?
Download the correct TWRP Recovery for your device, if you don't know your way around ADB too well.
You can use Mauronofrio's "TOOL ALL IN ONE" for removing encryption, installing TWRP, Root, your ROM, Gapps, and even to restore to stock Recovery, or to flash a stock Rom
Read that thread for instructions or for any questions.
If your device not recognized it is a usb driver issue, ensure that device drivers are installed and You will need to reinstall the Google USB driver, and while you are at it check to make sure adb is up to date. The All in One tool can do all of this for you, its with the advanced menu section. ** You will need to temporarily disable Windows defender for installation. **
Use the All in One tool to flash Recovery, then boot to recovery.
Ensure that you have TWRP installed permanently by rebooting to Recovery and then rooting the phone.
Always reboot to Recovery and check the boxes to install TWRP when rebooting to recovery
To remove encryption you will always need to format the storage
Not wipe >> Choose Format > type yes> Reboot to Recovery)**
(If you see a message that says there is no OS installed are you sure> Click Yes, then reboot to Recovery, ignore message about no OS)
When you reboot to recovery swipe to be able to read and write to the device.
Use an OTG Usb adapter to connect a USB to your phone and flash your prefered rom, Gapps, and root. Reboot to recovery, thenn reboot to system. If you were successful, the error message will be gone and you will be able to set up the phone.
As mentioned the tool will help you with installing your rom, Gapps, and root.
The All in One Tool can completely restore your phone to stock if absolutely needed. It actually links to Mauronofrio's server and it has all of the significant EUI Stock Roms, in case you want to restore the stock rom.
Hopefully this helps you, Good luck.
