[Q] Device bootloops after messed up partition

I once tried to use geno's partition resize, and after a reboot, it cannot boot into system anymore. Stuck at the huawei logo.
Since I'm quite familiar with linux, I tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971266
However, my linux installation didn't show any drives when it's in pink screen mode, so I'm pretty much stuck here.
In Windows 8 it did show two HUAWEI Technologies device (no drivers though) in pink screen mode.
I can't access recovery mode either, holding power + vol up only does normal boot for some strange reason. Anyone can help me out here?

try put official GB dload file on sd card, then put sd card in phone press power up+power down+power...
maybe it'll help you.

I tried that too, and it still bootloops. Not much luck.

Go to recovery and wipe everything. Then, reboot recovery, and then try partitioning again.

I can't get into recovery by pressing power + vol up. It just does normal boot (which bootloops).
If there would be any other way to get into recovery (such as via ADB or update.app) would be highly appreciated.

Yes, you can boot into recovery via adb:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But, you cannot use that until your phone is booted up.
If that doesn't work, you can follow these instructions to hard reset your phone:

Good Luck.

I can't get it to do the hard reset either. It just boots normally, aside from the bootloop.
I believe I need to fix the partition first before I try to reinstall stock. I hear that stock doesn't work with custom partitions. Which is why I'd prefer to at least get some access to the device via USB in order to fix it.
Ah well. It's a failing device anyway. Even before the brick the camera doesn't work anymore, regardless of which ROM I choose. Maybe it's time to move on for me.

Well, I tried this too (in fact I stated it in the first post) but pink screen mode isn't showing any device (I typed in "dmesg" in the Linux Terminal, none is found).
I appreciate your help, though. If I can solve the detection problem, I should be able to recover my phone using this method. I'd be happy to share some logs if it helps.

I got your back buddy

Hey, this is my first post well here it goes
Step 1 :- Format the sd card and put dload folder in it ( you'll get it from the official rom zip file)
Step 2 :- press and hold vol+ & vol- and then power button, it'll start upgrading
Step 3 :- now here is the tricky part!!! i was stuck here too and gone half mad well, let it reboot it will format cache etc and then bootloops, now turn off the device and then turn on pressing vol+ and power button, or u can try by pressing home, vol+ and power button, u'll b in recovery mode i.e in official rom builtin i guess.
Step 4 :- once in recovery, select reset factory default and clear partition cache, and then reboot!!!! Voila u will b able to finally boot successfully...
Now listen very carefully, u got only one chance here, cause if u reboot ur device again then bootloops will start again so in the first go, root the device by superoneclick and then install recovery i guess u knw all that and then u will be able to return to stock rom by flashing... once u've installed CWM then u r good to go bootloop wont effect ya SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH THOUGH

What's your build number what version of supersu did you try to flash?
Shutdown your device, put your current build onto 'dload' folder in the sdcard and press the following key combo: POWER, VOL-UP & VOL-DOWN, it should enable automatic update process

Shut it down amd press those 3 keys combo.. upon seeing Huawei Logo and vibration, release the Power key while holding the other 2... That ought to do it

Man, your phone is badly bricked. If you don't have at least access to fastboot, then you're screwed.

Good for me to I have the same problem. I was trying to get to stock ( I have made it several times), but the last time was a fail... The whole process of sending firmware was ok. then a reboot and brick.
Now the huawei screen and the short vibration appears and shutdown.
I was trying everything.
In device manager the phone is displayed as mobile devices \ volume f:\ (drive letter)
in connected devices the phone is detected as
hi6210sft
Phone is not detected in fastboot or ADB.

I met this problem yesterday(I hope the identical ). Because I have two booting animations, one from Vodafone, I guess I shutdown early during installation. It just froze. Then it didn't boot and stock recovery didn't help
My solution needs some recovery software like twrp. Press three buttons at the same time until twrp mode. Copy zip file for SuperSU to phone or sdcard, then flash it. After that my phone works again.
You mentioned that you cannot start recovery. Try more. After installing twrp, starting it is quite annoying. Sometimes it just doesn't start or stock recovery starts. An alternative way is to go to whatever mode, and try adb or fast boot to reboot to recovery. Pressing button requires techniques which j don't have

I can't enter TWRP non combination is working for me. Installing firmware using dload from sd card also.

okay if non of these worked you can try flashing the whole update.app file by fastboot..
tools you will need
1- download the official huawei firmware from the official site
2- download Huawei Update Extractor
3- download minimal adb and fastboot
check the unbricking chapter of this thread
Note: to get in fastboot make sure you connected your phone to computer and press the vol down and power down buttons.. if none of these worked your phone is hard bricked .-. .. try opening the phone and reconnecting the battery worked with someone
if you need any help just pm me or replay on this thread hope that help you

Ok thx. I have already opened the phone to reconnect the battery
And then I was trying the combinations;
Battery connected vol- +power - Huawei logo and vibration and shutdown, no fastboot
Battery disconnected, vol-+power and connecting cable to phone - the same
Battery disconnected combination vol + vol - + ppwer, with sd card dload, the same
Battery connected combination vol + vol - power, sd card dload, the same
Any other suggestions?
The phone is recognized in Windows in device manager as mobile device as volume with a letter, I cant change the drivers to the right ones. I can't enter the storage it's unrecognized format.

Any other suggestions?

it is easy to suggest others.. I too advised you.. but today i am facing the same problem...
what I tried:
Reinstalling the same ROM using dload method
Upgrading to other ROM (using both dload and flashing 4 image method)
Downgrading
Restoring from the backup
At one point, the phone booted up all well except the Wifi Module... So I flashed another ROM and stuck again...

the worst thing that I don't have any connection to fastboot Each firmware installation method fails

yes, mine too... or I could say flashing succeeds but there's some problem with the boot partition... will get my phone today from the Customer Care and try again (if they can't repair).
you can try removing the back cover and unplugging the battery... that is one of the few things I will do today as I get my phone back..

ok made it back.. just flashed the boot.img from b594 (the one I was using when my mobile got bricked)... somehow made it back. But now I am having a problem with the battery. It doesn't charge when the device is switched on, only when the device is switched off... will see for few days, if there's problem will take it back to service centre again

I have already removed back cover and was trying to reconnect the battery to do clear run. But the only thing is discovered in windows is a driver for storage and I can't change the driver to ADB or FASTBOOT
Now I have connected phone w PC on adb devices I see only emulator-5554 device. In Device manager I see the storage as a Mobile Device.
Nope it was Bluestacks

Switch off your device and then connect it to PC but just hold the volume- key.. that should get you in fastboot mode... I did that and then flashed the boot.img of the current ROM. This should boot it up...

There is 2 way to access recovery menu:
Normal Way:
Step 1) Turn the power off.
Step 2) Hold and Press Volume up + Power Button for about 10 second and release
Step 3) If you see Nokia logo it means failed repeat step 2
Step 4) If you see no command Android logo it means success
Step 5) In no command Android logo Press Volume up + Power Button + Home Button(Center One)
Step 6) You will see recovery menu
Developer Way:
Step 1) In the System->About Phone Tap Build Number Multiple Time to enable developer mode
Step 2) In Developer options enable usb debugging
Step 3) Connect your phone to computer using usb and Allow the access.
Step 4) Download sdk tools from developer.android.com
Step 5) Open adb by cmd and type "adb devices" to detect your phone
Step 6) Then type "adb reboot recovery" to force your phone to reboot and open recovery
Step 7) You should get no command Android logo
Step 8) In no command Android logo Press Volume up + Power Button + Home Button(Center One)
Step 9) You will see recovery menu

Reflash the mena firmware and wait if you receive otas. If not, you could flash the zip for final oreo. However, I think there's not the link for ta-1025 yet.

Every zip work on TA-1025/and MENA firmware
Because, internally mena firmware is also TA-1025 and all OTA zips are made and targeted to TA-1025 varient only
So you can even flash OREO FINAL VERSION ALSO
Hit thanks button if you find this useful
Happy flashing

Tried flashing Oreo Final after finding the recovery, now my phone is broken.
Flashing didnt finish and it would no longer boot.
Tried restoring to an older firmware with OST LA, now it just flickers all the time.
Sometimes i see the recovery screen, but then it flickers off again.
Cant do anything anymore. Its broken.

Hey dont be sad , we are here to assist you
Try installing OTA manually
when u see the recovery menu, move to the OTA folder and install
Install till January, and then try the OTA of OFFICIAL OREO
this might work, you need to have patience and quick to install the OTA
if I would be there with you, I would love to help you

These steps are for hard reset not for download mode
Well i have one solution for you, but its lil expensive
I have firmware, which can be installed through infinity CM2 dongle
This dongle can upgrade, downgrade and do much things on Nokia devices
It costs 70 US dollar
This can only work for you, cause Nokia care will replace your motherboard, they wont repair it, because even they don't know how to deal with it
So if you can buy this dongle then you can flash it else wait for OFFICIAL OREO firmware to be come soon

When phone is powered off, connect charger and keep pressing volume down +power button. It should take you straight to download mode.
I had exact problem and by coincidence today
Can u see the no cammand page of recovery.
If yes then try pressing both volume up and Power button together. Try again and again it must take you to recovery... If you land in recovery only for once you just have to select the reboot to bootloader option, so the download mode will open then.. then use OST

Im also having the same problem, after oreo stable update in my nokia 6 im not able get into recovery mode. Please someone help!

I'm discovered, that Windows 10 and USB 3.0/3.1 may cause problems with flashing using OST. If you can, use USB 2.0 ports and older Windows operating system (in my case - Windows 8.1). I also bricked my phone and my new notebook cannot communicate with my phone, after use OST using my older PC - it communicate without any problem

No need of older windows i have done it (today) on windows 10 (64bbit) with USB 3.0 port today.. and now i am typing this from my recoverd Nokia 6.
All you need is that your .NETFramework version 3.5 is enabled in windows and you install OST tool properly which includes all drivers.

Idk, but maybe it depends by hardware and software configuration... I also installed OST with all frameworks included in package without any success. Phone starts flashing and... reboots into recovery mode after +/- 10% of flashing progress. But it's my own flash experience

Exactly, @minhas729 even i did all the things from my windows 10 fall creator update and though windows 10 is the best OS to flash phones, it rarely ask for phone drivers or anything, everything is pre-installed and you can just go straight to flashing, automatically system updates downloads all required things automatically.
So no need to go back to the old windows OS to flash it. And also its true on the first go, the OST tool gives error and stuck to flashing splash....
All you need it try once again, second time it flashes successfully

Last night i installed oreo stable in my nokia 6 and i wanted to reset and clear cache partition, since i wanted a fresh start. And i tried to go to recovery mode and i was stuck at no command screen and i accidentally did a combination of " press and hold the power button then press the volume up button once". This took my phone to recovery mode from no command screen.

Having some big problems - Need help please!!!!!

I got a replacement device from OP and I was unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. The guide i used had the incorrect patched boot image and everything went bad quick.
I can't go anywhere except fastboot now, can't boot to OS, no OS installed.
TWRP WAS booting from fastboot, I pushed the rom from there and flashed it...said no OS installed after, I installed it on both slots.
I can't get into EDL mode, the volume keys work...I think, but the second I let go of them when it's plugged in it defaults back to fastboot immediately. I tried the bat file that people use, says it worked, phone stays in fastboot.
I even tried holding the volume keys the entire time but the MSM tool wouldn't read it enough to flash anything, although it did read it enough to register some data, but was stuck on "waiting for device".
I am in need of some major help. Now I can't even temp boot to twrp, getting an error failed authorization. I'm afraid I really messed things up.
I have 5 days to send my old device back. Please help!

May be a longshot, but does the stock recovery work? Maybe try sideloading the full OTA zip from there?

For EDL mode, you need to hold the buttons then plug it in while continuing to hold the buttons. It won't work if the phone is already plugged into a usb port and then you try and get into EDL.
Really hard to brick a OnePlus device in my experience.

Recovery doesn't work. I was able to get to one of the steps to approve going into fastboot, advanced, reboot to fastboot, but not anymore.

I was doing just that. It seemed to work initially but after I plugged it in and released the buttons it went back to fastboot and disconnected from MSM.

Make sure MSM is ready keep vol up/down pressed, connect cable and immediately press Start in the tool. Have done it like this 3-4 times with my Pro

I ended up using the fastboot ROM flash all.bat from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-8-pro-t4083997
I am now booting into the OS and the stock recovery came back. So good news is the phone isn't bricked.

Glad you sort it out

$25 Paypal TO *YOU* for fixing VKY-L29 boot issues / possibly brick

Hey guys,
A friend of mine handed me a phone I used a few years ago - a Huawei P10+. The problem is, it won't boot. A friend offered a small bounty - so I thought I'd extend that small bounty to people here for immediate assistance. If you take Paypal, there $25 USD up for grabs if your links/instructions and assistance lead to unbricking - correct booting of the phone....
WHAT WE KNOW:
- VKY-L29 dual sim phone
- Previously been successfully rooted and was functioning fine
- Previous User may have tried wiping EVERYTHING (unsuccessfully, obviously) for re-installation of stock ROM
THE PROBLEM:
The phone displays the white/orange text screen, stating "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. To learn more visit: http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore
(1) Press power to continue .... nothing happens when pressed
(2) Press volume up for 3 secs to enter ERecovery to restore your device ... this works, but CANNOT download, or fails to download package over WIFI (only other options are to shutdown/reboot)
(3) Your device will continue to boot 5 seconds later if no operation ... nothing happens, it just hangs on this screen - even when prompt shows "Your device is rebooting now"
It doesn't matter if this stays rooted or not, we just need to successfully reinstall the STOCK ROM and booting/functioning normally.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Regards

Boot in eRecovery by holding the Volume Up button, after booting in eRecovery just download the latest package via connecting to a Wi-Fi network and it should boot up just fine.

Try downloading an older firmware extract the contents of the .app file using huawei firmware extractor and flash system.img recovery_ramdisk.img oeminfo.img product.img and vendor.img using fastboot and if the phone boots up just update it to a newer firmware, that's how i did it to my P10 Plus, it didn't wanna download via eRecovery too, sorry for the misunderstanding i forgot that it doesn't wanna download for you, i don't have the device with me now because i broke my display (again) so it's getting fixed but it won't be done untill saturday, i'll upload the firmware i used so that you can try too.

if the bootloader is unlocked flash twrp using the command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "path to TWRP.img"
after flashing type: fastboot reboot and immediately start pressing the Volume Up and power button untill the HUAWEI logo shows up, after booting to TWRP flash oeminfo.img using the install option in TWRP, after that reboot and try downloading the firmware using eRecovery again, hopefully this time it will let you download it.

Dude pls wait don't try this i found another way, i bricked my phone accidentally today and i found a way, gonna take me some time to explain but i'll try my best.

So first of all download this firmware here extract it on your pc and boot to bootloader and flash TWRP_kirin.img to recovery_ramdisk, after that reboot the phone and boot in recovery via holding the volume up and power button, when in TWRP copy the dload folder from the firmware you extracted on your pc to your phone after that copy the RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img to your phone and flash it as recovery ramdisk via the install option in TWRP, power off your phone and press and hold the volume buttons and the power button and wait for it to boot and let it install the update, i really hope this helps you, it helped me after struggling with it all day long.

Hi Lester, it's been an eternity since I was online here as I put this on the back-burner with more pressing work and family priorities. Thank you very much for providing the files. I noticed the ROM firmware is EU, when i am outside of EU....but shouldn't be too big of a problem.... I am getting around to doing all of this now, I have downloaded the files. When are you typically online to chat about this?

It cannot boot into TWRP, only the eRecovery. No option to flash anything on SD card, other than connecting to WIFI...
