[GUIDE] How to unbrick your Mate 9 if you can access only fastboot

Hello everyone,
Today, while trying to update my phone to Oreo, I have bricked it, so here is the way to unbrick it, and reflash the software.
We'll use the files found here link
Download base, windows, and MHA (or your phone model) zip files, then unzip it to a folder. Be sure, that there are no spaces in the directory name.
Download firmware files, use Firmware Finder, or anything you chose, the only important thing is you have to have 3 zip files. If ready, place it to the HWOTA/update folder. Rename the files to update.zip,
update_data_public.zip, and update_all_hw.zip.
Run update.bat, and follow the instructions on screen
When it asks the update method, chose update from script folder. It will copy the files, flash the recovery, then start system update.
You should be good to go
Thanks for @mankindtw for the software.

I don't think he has a solution ... I also bricked my phone on kind of downgrade and reactivated my Nexus 6 and bought a camera replacement for my dear Nexus for ~10 Euro on eBay.
Sad that this great device (Mate9) is so hard to pull back into live. Compared to a good old Nexus' it's dangerous to play around.

RIP my mate 9 (locked bootloader also). bricked by android pie update.

if you want to downgrade the phone, I'll recommend you to unlock fastboot (fastboot oem unlock-go) then execute fastboot oem edl and execute xiaomi_a1_blok_silme_EDL after a minute, if the program stuck in around 3 minutes, force shutdown and restart fastboot again, then execute fastboot oem edl and open MiFlash and select tissot version 7.8 and flash it, when it finish it start cleanly, download the QPST in diag mode and restart then you'll have IMEI again and baseband but be carefull because if you update to oreo everything fail and you'll have bootloop.
PD. I bought a new Mi A1 and backup all the partitions and overwrite it in my old Mi A1, I found something interesting the IMEI isnt in modem_a, modem_b, modemst1, modemst2 and fsc, I compare the partitions of the new phone and the old one and are equals but It still appear IMEI unknown and baseband unknown, I downloaded the QPST and compare the partitions and it still equals so, the IMEI isnt in that partitions if you have bootloop boot TWRP and clean modemst1 and modemst2 (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1) restart and the phone starts again but without IMEI, that is strange.
PD. I have a copy of persist partition, change the .sn and put your serial number, edit wlan_mac.bin and put another MAC (minor dan FF) and to change the BT MAC go to persist/bluetooth/.bt_nv.bin and change the MAC (the mac is in backwards, the end to begin)
Sorry about my bad english.

Hello,
Is anyone know how to install Unbranded (Unlock Version) firmware on Samsung Galaxy J7 Star (MetroPCS/T-Mobile) SM-J737T1 to SM-J737U?
I have tried this with J7 Prime SM-J727T1 with SM-J727U and it worked well but J7 Star failed with Odin flash.

I checked, with the new android update it is not possible for 2018 models.

Don't think the 2018 J7 is even exploitable/rootable yet. (waiting for it though)

interesting of this device has treble support

hello I used firmware combination J737T1UVU4ASB1 for j737t1, flash with miracle box and I see that I think OEM Unlock to enable it, I have not yet enabled.
now that it has combination I am thinking of converting j737t1 to j737u with OEM enabled I hope it works.
here is the capture: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/msm2fczpgcxgu/

Could I get you to please host J737T1UVU4ASB1 out there somewhere? I can't find that one anywhere.

You have to flash the combination file and then enable OEM and then flash the unbranded rom and then factory reset in that order

Did this work? Is it possible to root SM_J737T1?

Over a year later...any feedback from anyone?? Does this work or any other options to root the T1 variant?

I rooted my j737u by using a combo file to get OEM unlock, reflashed firmware, installed magisk, patched boot img I got from AP firmware, then used a tool called tar-tool to convert boot img back to tar.md5, then placed the boot.tar.md5 file in AP section of patched odin and it flashed just fine. Makes you factory reset but magisk is there when rebooted.

Rooteé mi j737u usando un archivo combinado para obtener el desbloqueo OEM, actualicé el firmware, instalé magisk, parcheé la imagen de arranque que obtuve del firmware AP, luego usé una herramienta llamada tar-tool para convertir la imagen de arranque nuevamente a tar.md5, luego coloqué el archivo boot.tar.md5 en la sección AP de odin parcheado y brilló muy bien. Te hace restablecer los valores de fábrica, pero magisk está allí cuando se reinicia.

Hello, can you be more specific with the steps, the combination of roms is interesting

find your bootloader version combination file and put it in the AP slot in odin and flash it.
it should say factory binary when it boots up. go to settings and enable dev options and the OEM unlock should be able to be turned on. after turning OEM unlock on should turn OEM lock off.
after that you need to reflash your firmware in odin.
put magisk on the phone and I pulled the boot.img from the AP firmware with 7zip. use magisk to patch the boot.img. i found a tool on xda called tar-tool, which I used to put the patched boot.img into tar.md5 then flashed that boot.img in the AP slot of odin. you will have to factory reset after that flash, but magisk will be there when you're done setting your phone up. oh, and I used patched odin to do all the flashing. i hope this helps!

With this code that you enable, they gave it to me and they say that it solves that, activate debugging, put this code and that's it *#0808#

Redmi 7A bricked after MIUI 12 OTA update

Hi, my phone received the MIUI 12 update but now it's bricked because the installation stops after reaching 23.99%.
The bootloader is locked, so fastboot flash doesn't work. EDL mode also doesn't work because my Mi account isn't authorized.
Anyone with the same problem? How can I recover my phone?
Thanks.

First reboot your phone to stock recovery then there was an option to connect to Mi PC. The phone will be detected in adb mode then use mi unlocker to unlock the bootloader then you can flash your desired rom using MiFlash Tool

Thanks for you answer. I can't go to stock recovery, it goes directly to the update screen. I boot to the fastboot mode and the phone is detected by the Mi Unlock Tool but it doesn't work. It says I should login with a Xiaomi account on the phone and do some steps, but the phone is bricked.

any updates I ahve same problem

I left it to update this morning and it just destroyed my phone completely destroyed it
I somehow got it to work using adb fastboot continue

No, I have everything to make the build the except the original system images and also I discovered that bootloader can only be unlocked with oem_unlock_code.bin flashed in fastboot mode with all security features disabled e.g. password, google account, I cant extract from update because updates are incremental so that means without core verified core system, it doesn't extract correctly nor have md5 or whatever authorizes it as authentic. However, one spreadtrum tool does give access to many configs like power ctlr and other
