So I tried rooting my P8lite earlier, but didn't do enough research and ended up with a failed root which resulted in a bootloop. To try to recover my device I installed the correct firmware and put the UPDATE.APP onto my SDcard and put it into my device, but the combination to get it to update (Vol UP+Vol DOWN+Power) doesn't work, it just turns off my device. After trying this a couple of times, I decided to go a different route. I wanted to try to recover using Fastboot, so I got my recovery IMG and got Fastboot set up, but when I tried to flash the IMG it said that my device doesn't have enough space, so I tried wiping my data but this fails when I use Fastboot to do it and I don't know any other way to wipe my device.

A question! When you hold down vol up+vol down+power did you remember to release the power button only after some time (I mean did you keep holding only the vol up+vol down)? And did you try to go into recovery or is that also broken?

I did, but I solved my issue. First of all after putting TWRP on my phone, the key combination did work so I have no idea what is wrong with the SDcard way of fixing my problem. But I fixed the bootloop after finding out how to extract img files from the update.app file and then using fastboot to flash these images.

can you explain me how, pleas ?
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.

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.

You should download YOUR variant SDCARD UPDATE zip and flash using stock recovery.

Not working :/
Hey everyone. First of all I'm sorry if I create this thread into a wrong category. I'm new in this forum, just here to ask for you guys's help.
My phone is stuck, or better saying it's at bootloop. I don't have a Sd Card, but an USB and a port to connect it with my Galaxy S8.
I don't think I will be able to flash a ROM with Odin so I decided to flash it with USB.
I'm currently downloading a 7z file.
My question is that does it matter if the ROM that I'll flash is a .ZIP file or 7z file ? Would it cause any more trouble because I really do not know if it can get any worse.
I hope somebody can help me clean this mess . All I did was remove the root from magisk and ta-daaa it got me a bootloop.
Thanks for helps from now.
Can you boot into Recovery Mode?
Power off your phone, than hold: Bixby + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode (up to 10 sec)

I can get into recovery mode, there's no problem in that. I downloaded a Rom but my phone didn't recognize the ROM since it was .7z file.
And I cannot flash with odin, I guess my phone's usb debug wasn't on before it got into loop.
Then why dont you just reflash/ reroot Magisk?
To flash files have be in Zip-format

Where do I get the file ?
//EDIT
Nevermind, I got it and flashed. You saved me, thank you for your help. I'd have never thought of rooting it back if you didn't help me right in time.

Elaborate the steps you do.
1.unlocked bootloader
2. downloaded TWRP and RedWolf recovery
3.Followed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-x-t3787134
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...t/recovery-red-wolf-recovery-project-t3787402
4.when I try to boot to recovery it boots only into stock recovery or shows me black screen.
5.What should I do to sukcessfully flash custom recovery?
Here's a simple fix....
Reboot to bootloader...
Open adb
Type
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip(whatever your file is named)
Then long press pow button turn off..
Now press and hold power button and vol down....leave power button when screen lights up but keep holding vol down for a few more second..
It should boot into twrp now

thanx for the reply i replaced the old phone as it was not booting at all after i tried to revert back to .247 . but then the new phone i got was already on .318 so same twrp not installing issue someone said something like twr(pie) worked for them but i cant find anything like that. can u help me with that. thanx in advance.
Enter fastboot mode,flash twrp recovery,then go to recovery by pressing volume down and power button.if it boots OS then it will be replaced by stock recovery.so if you can't boot to recovery first time(BEFORE BOOTING OS) ,repeat the same process.
Any update on this , I tries installing TWRP version twrp-3.2.3-0-X00T-20180902.img but its the default recovery That I am getting.

Hi guys.
I'm lost!
Wonder if anyone could help a newbe like myself!
So:
I havae unlocked the bootloader, flashed with newest twrp recovery img.
Then?? I cannot boot into twrp for some reason!
I wonder if there is only a specific release of twrp that my phone allows, or can I get whichever??
And also.... Once it's done and I try to long press the volume up + power button, it doesn't seem to get me anywhere.
What am I missing??
All the tutorials and the thread I read make perfect sense...but then I fail miserably!
Please help!
Thanks!!!
Nobody?? Please help!! ??
Guys?!
