I was able to root my 6T with no problem. Was even able to run the XXX No Limits OnePlus 6 rom with no issues. However overnight the pending software update installed itself. When I tried to reboot the phone got the screen that says "your device is corrupt". Went and tried to flash the official stock OOS rom and now its hard bricked. Phone won't even power on. Is there anyway to fix it, or am I just F'ed in the A?
For clarity, you were running a OP6 rom on the 6T?

XxX made a 6/6T rom.
The rom was made for the 6 and 6T. It flashed and booted with no problems. Multiple reboots no issues. Wasn't until the software update installed itself I had issues
Does a computer recognize it at all, even with any weird key combinations?

After messing with it some more was finally able to get it to boot. Had to hold down power+volume up for like 3 minutes. Now that I am able to get in fastboot going to try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516

I had pretty much the exact same issue Saturday, and I was t even rooted or unlocked bootloader so I know how you feel
There's an option to turn off automatic updates, for future reference.

Using the tool above I was able to unbrick and return to stock. For anyone else bricked, that tool will help you
Hello
I decided to start from scratch and installed latest stock rom with mi flash. The tool reported successful but I ended up in a boot loop. Somehow it failed when the screen came up with 'data encryption....'. I flashed it again ad the phone only vibrated when power on. I hat to do the restore point method to gain EDL mode. I flashed an older firmware. Now the screen stays black. I'm able to boot into fastboot, unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. But the screen is just blank/black.
I have a feeling it haves something to do with emmc_appsboot.mbn or boot.emmc.win
When I flash boot.emmc.win with fastboot on Slot A (I tried both slots) at least the LED turns on when the device is plugged on a USB cable. But nothing more........
I still have my backups, created by TWRP. I don't know this is in some way helpful.
I find the tool TWRP Backup Tool. It seems I could restore a TWRP backup from there. But which file should I use? My backup is a folder. There isn't any .zip or .img file.
Some ideas?
Same here

can you do me a favour please? After the rom I flashed last night (yes, I guess it was a Nougat version) I was able to enter edl mode and unlock the bootloader. Today I tried other ROMs. Now, I forgot which Nougat version exactly worked for unlock boot loader. If you can post the exact version or a link would be great.
I don't think it's a hardware fault. I guess we need only the correct boot files. It should be possible to extract those files from a TWRP backup. But I can't find any hint how to do it.
If you find something that helps. please post it here. I'll do the same....

Yes, the bootloader is unlocked. I'm able to enter into fastboot. From there I can flash TWRP and boot into recovery. I installed even Magisk. It seems everything to work, but the screen. I was very careful when I did the testpoint method.
Here's the result of the fastboot oem device-info:
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.047s]
Finished. Total time: 0.047s
Do you think there is still a chance to fix the device? I thought about to send the device back where I bought it. The device isn't even 2 week old. But I doubt the dealer will grant me warranty since I opened the device.
Edit: THe cellphone starts normally me thinks. If I want to boot into bootloader I have to press power and vol -
I run the TOOL ALL IN ONE which shows me immediately when a Fastboot device is detected.

What ROM do you install through the TWRP? Have you tried only to install a rom, without Magisk or GAPPS and wait if it boots properly?

After I was in bootloop (with screen) I wasn't able to unlock bootloader. So I used the Mi Flash tool. I tried different (at least 6 or 8 )versions from this site: https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-roms-xiaomi-mi-a1/
After flashing the roms, the phone only vibrated when tried to boot. It repeatedly vibrated when connected to the USB cable and charger.
Only one rom allowed me to enter fastboot and unlock the bootloader. Android 7.1.2 Nougat (N2G47H.7.8.23) ( https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/5117/ )
That's the rom which is currently on my phone.
I tried once to install the latest Oreo 8.1 with TWRP. Since my screen is black, I used the TOOL ALL IN ONE. The flash process was successful. But then again only vibration when try to boot.
Actually, in all those versions GAPPS or Magisk isn't included.
Just to mention; my Mi A1 is a MDG2. Not sure if that matters.
Without the screen, I'm kinda limited regarding to TWRP.
EDIT: I never did a backup by ADB. But I did several with TWRP. I wanted to recover one of them. But methinks, that's not possible with the TOOL ALL IN ONE.
Edit 2: I also made a TWRP backup from the Stock Oreo 8.1 version. It was the state on which the phone was delivered. I only did installation wizard like login to google account.....
The folder contains files like data.ext4.win000, data.ext4.win001, system.ext4.win000, system.ext4.win001. But once again, I don't know if this is helpful in any way.

OK, we already know that it is with bootloader unlocked and in Nougat. That tells us 2 things: 1) It will not accept Stock Firmware until it blocks the bootloader and for now, that is not recommended. 2) You have to install a Nougat CustomROM, because to install Oreo you need to update the firmware.

Since the use of the AIO tool has not been effective, I would consider using the native firmware's own commands, especially flash_all.bat, which in theory leaves the cell phone as a factory and does not relock the bootloader.
Another aspect to keep in mind is that before decompressing the firmware file, rename it to a short one. It happened to me that a very long folder name was generated and the flashing was not completed.
Try this process with firmware N2G47H.7.8.23, using the instructions on the page that you mention, in the section "How to install Stock ROM (fastboot) on Xiaomi Mi A1"

Ok, I did shorten the folder and file. The process flash_all.bat by itself was successful and I guess the phone rebooted. But still no screen. Still dark.
You mentioned to install a Nougat custom rom. Would you suggest a particular one?

A last question. If they replace the phone, I know, there chances are zero. Would I face the same issue if I want resurrection remix with the phone sound? Would I have to flash that modem.img?
If so, that's just not worth. It all started with that problem. Everything worked perfect but the phone.

Well, the truth, I never had any audio problem with calls with Resurrection Remix, and this rom I have used it in more than 6 phones of different manufacturers.
In my case, the problem of the calls was presented by flashing the modem of the version 8.1 of November, but downgrading to 8.0 was resolved.
Good luck with the cell phone, and it's a pity that it has been damaged.
It is advisable to learn to use the ADB and fastboot tools directly, rather than the AIOs.

Hello
I didn't give up so far. Something interesting happened.
I did the follow command: fastboot flash boot.emmc.win
The flash boot.emmc.win I extracted from my TWRP backup. Now, the phone rebooted and I hear a android notification. The charging LED is working too and the backlights of the buttons. When I touch the screen, the backlight of the buttons goes on. It looks like the phone is running. But, the screen is still off.
When I press the power button short, I hear the sound which indicates the screen goes off.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but with that behavior I think it isn't a hardware damage. Since still is Nougat installed, I might need a boot.emmc.win for Nougat?
We could be very close to fix the software.
EDIT: I used: fastboot boot boot.emmc.win
If I understand this correct, that way it is only temporary. So I tried:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.emmc.win
and
fastboot flash boot_b boot.emmc.win
With that, nothing happens. So, now again fastboot boot boot.emmc.win
Phone has restarted. I hear a sound. When touch the screen backligh of buttons goes on. I'm in a menu I guess. The installation wizard. I also hear the sound when I press something on the installation wizzard.
At least, that's new. Before there was nothing.
Edit 2: Might it be related to efs1.emmc.win and efs2.emmc.win ?
Edit 3: That's crazy. I touched the screen randomly and activated a 'Screen Reader' for blind people

Since you already lost your data, try to flash the ROM again. I don't remember if you can transfer/flash the stock ROM without an unlocked bootloader (I suppose it is locked), if you can at least dirty install it as an update it may work too (google it). Unfortunately, providing more information over unlocking the phone is inappropriate.

Since your bootloader is locked, your options are limited.
To expand a little what i mentioned, your best try it may be to try and update the current from from the stock recovery. That may fix a potential corrupted partition. To do so, you can follow the steps of method 2 in this article. However, I am not aware if you can transfer the update.zip in the phone... I suppose that the stock recovery doesn't mount the phone to the PC. Thus, you probably need to try and transfer if through fastboot but that may not be possible too (could check if adb push works or if you can boot a twrp recovery, not flash just boot, but you probably wont be able)...
If you can't do the above steps, you are in a half-brick mode right now with a locked bootloader. Generally, there is no official way to get around this.
Hi,
I'm French and my level in english is not very high.
So I try to unlock my wife's phone but I havbe understood that it is no more possible with the classic way with huawei support.
Does exist another way tu do this ? Or is it definitivly impossible ?
No french forum can explain this.
As I can see many custom Roms here I keep a hope !
Hi, yes it should be still possible.
DC-Unlocker is what you need. The operation has a cost in credits, 4$ are necessary to unlock the device since it's the cost that DC asks from retrieve bootloader code from your device.
If you're definitely motivated to do it, it's your only chance but luckily it's an acceptable prize.

Yeah, but not for Huawei P8 Lite 2017 version... I found this to be possible just for older phones (like the original P8 lite) which can be downgraded to Android 5. Newer ones can't be flashed with unsigned firmware (= firmware which is not straight from damn Huawei who decided not to provide the bootloader codes in the first place) so the only way apparently is to use paid software like DC-Unlocker as stated in this official XDA thread --> https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader-fee/

Unlocked the bootloader yesterday! I have Huawei P8 Lite 2017 PRA-LX1 and had latest Emui 8 build on it... Bought the code for 4€ from DC-Unlocker, and required around 2 minutes for unlocking. You can follow this guide --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xYybHAlWaQ
I tried so hard to get the code for free, and I know modding should not cost people money. But at the end of the day, I think those 4 euros were worth it
Yeah,4 Euros is ok and the only method!!!

Dear all,
sorry in advance for the silly question but in this regard I am dumb as a brick.
I run DC Unlocker, got the phone unlocked but now the only thing I have is the stock boot telling me the phone is unlocked and therefore cannot be trusted. From there on, I do not know how to procede in order to install TWRP recovery + LineageOS 17.1. I tried to install TWRP but it only runs after a factory reset with the "stock" Huawei eRecovery and every time I reboot (I even got to the point of installing LineageOS via fastboot) it is always back to square one.
Again, sorry, but the last phone I "worked on" was an HTC Desire HD some 8 years ago, therefore you can guess I lost some years of advancements
Thank you for any help regarding the steps I am missing, links to guides much much appreciated.
Best and ciao from Italy

Don't fully get your question. Current situation is: Phone unlocked with DC Unlocker. When I switch it on I get the "phone is unlocked" message and if I don't do anything it starts booting stock OS, otherwise goes into Huawei eRecovery. If from Huawei eRecovery I do a full wipe, it starts TWRP. But even if I work on TWRP, when I reboot it is all back to "phone is unlocked". And again, and again. Hope it is clearer.

Yeah I get it now, the problem is if you wanna go to twrp sometimes you have to press volume up and hold it until logo shows up, sometimes you had to hold both volume buttons etc. It's kinda wierd but the factory format from erecovery is in twrp disabled due to this because sometimes it wont let you boot until format (that triggers almost anything like fastly restarting to and from recovery etc.).
So keep calm it's "normal".

Just for your information, TWRP on this device is not fully supported. Every TWRP version you may find on XDA forums for this particular device is different. In my case TWRP back up doesn't work, wipe cache doesn't work, format data only breaks the system partition , flash GSI's from TWRP also doesn't work XDXD
The only thing I could do from TWRP was flash Magisk and hope that nothing will go wrong in the future ...XD got it? Flash and forget ???

Thank you for your support. To reinstate some order in the procedure, yesterday I reinstalled EMUI from eRecovery and now I am back to "zero-point-one", aka right after DC Unlocker: when I switch on the phone it says it is unlocked and then launches stock OS. From now on what should I do to have in the end LineageOS 17.1 installed? Again, thanks for your time

To reinstate some order in the procedure, yesterday I reinstalled EMUI from eRecovery and now I am back to "zero-point-one", aka right after DC Unlocker: when I switch on the phone it says it is unlocked and then launches stock OS. From now on what should I do to have in the end LineageOS 17.1 installed? Again, thanks for your time

Hi!
So, I installed Lineage OS 17.1 on my sister's phone just two days ago, maybe I can give you some advice being myself a beginner. So, first of all, I guess you have enabled OEM unlock (otherwise you could not flash TWRP I guess? I don't think this is the point anyway) If not so, go to Developer Options --> Enable OEM unlock and you will see both the bootloader and FRP unlocked.
The try to follow the DarkJoker360's Lineage OS 17.1 install guide step by step (don't forget to flash the los_patches_prague.zip!). The right version of TWRP is important too for compatibility issues, so install the version he provided.
Anyway, as @DunoCZ pointed out, for entering TWRP recovery you have to press Volume UP button + Power button and keep them pressed until you get to the TWRP. Otherwise, what the device does is either booting up or go to the screen like "Press Volume UP for at least 3 seconds to go to erecovery" and if you do that, it will go into Huawei's own recovery.
Another thing is... Did you do a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik/art cache) in TWRP before trying to flash the new ROM? (don't just do the factory reset in Huawei's recovery, I read somewhere it doesn't wipe everything like the advanced one in the custom recovery)

Don't fully get your question. Current situation is: Phone unlocked with DC Unlocker. When I switch it on I get the "phone is unlocked" message and if I don't do anything it starts booting stock OS, otherwise goes into Huawei eRecovery. If from Huawei eRecovery I do a full wipe, it starts TWRP. But even if I work on TWRP, when I reboot it is all back to "phone is unlocked". And again, and again. Hope it is clearer.
Thanks

Because as you wrote here, the stock OS booted up before you installed stock from again via Huawei erecovery. So my wild guess is that the wipe you did before flashing Lineage OS wasn't a full wipe?

By the way, after installing Lineage OS 17.1 I found out there were indeed some very important problems in the ROM as noticed by other testers too...
The reason why I changed the ROM on the device was mainly because of two reasons:
1) Short battery life
2) Not enough memory
And unfortunately, on Lineage OS 17.1:
1) Battery life not good enough. Unless you fix it by patching a new kernel, be always wary of apps running on your device etc., the battery ran short even after replacing the internal battery. Alas. Besides, I wanted something stable for my sis who threatened me to buy an iPhone if I couldn't fix her phone lol
2) Very big problem with memory: I couldn't find a way to write to the SD card as other users pointed out. It is read by the device, but apparently it is read only and even with root permissions I couldn't find a way to obtain write permission for the apps. Perhaps some options in fstab mount file should be changed, but honestly, I tried with my below-average knowledge of Linux and gave up :crying:
But then... I tried Lineage OS 15.1 and this one worked much, much better. Battery life is super good and has the adoptable storage option for the SD card! This way, instead of those 9 gigs of memory now the phone has more than 70! And honestly, this ROM solved both the most important problems of this phone
(PS: sorry for the long posts lol)
(PPS: if you decide to switch to 15.1, remember to decrypt the memory following this post otherwise you won't be able to install more that a bunch of apps on the phone. Besides, remember to flash Dil3mm4 's TWRP recovery)

Check out my SPECTRUM profile I wrote even simple tut how to flash kernel and enable adoptable storage
Hello everyone, that's it. I have a Redmi 2 enhanced version (2014811) . It can be turned on now but it keeps restarting as soon as it enters the first page. Now it can enter the fastboot mode. How can I save it? (The phone should not be rooted before)
Postscript: If possible, can I take this opportunity to use a third party ROM to upgrade to a higher version of Android? (e.g. Android 10 or higher）
Thank you for your comments, thank you very much ! ! !

If you know how to use fastboot, try installing TWRP. (Execute command fastboot flash recovery twrp.xxx.img where twrp.xxx.img is the filename of twrp placed into the fastboot folder on your computer. If you don't understand ask me further.)

First of all, thank you very much for your advices, bro! Do I need to unlock/root first before installing TWRP? Because I have not been rooted it before, can I just flash in TWRP directly under the fastboot environment without rooting? Sorry, I still don't know how to do it, maybe some concepts have not been figured out yet. .....
If the phone is stock and not rooted a factory reset should restore it.
You will lose all data.
It may be possible to start it and get it to run stabily in Safe mode, if so it's a 3rd party startup app causing it. Find it...

I'm afraid that during the entire flashing process, some things have been done wrong and cannot be remedied in the future. Are there any basic tutorials on flashing that I can learn?
Sorry, sent the wrong post. Try factory resetting in miui recovery mode. If it still not boots, your phone is permanently fried on the motherboard level.

I apologize that no, you will need to get into system and sign into your mi account in order to unlock the bootloader and allow you to flash anything, which you cannot do as for now.

He should be able to reflash the stock rom though, right?

It doesn’t matter, the problem is that I don’t know how to enter the miui recovery mode......

Whatever button sequence is used for that device.
Timing is everything, keep trying until you get it.
It's harder to do when you really need to
Take a break and make sure you got the right sequence/timing.
If it's booting up to the Home page it's salvageable I think... better than a boot loop.
However, before the loop occurs, Mokee 7.1.2 was installed and used it normally for a period of time, does that matter?

Stock Androids are easy, that's one reason I run stock. The only thing that really kills them is an outright hardware failure.

redmi 2 runs on stock rom android 4.2 right? you can not install any single app on that.
when the op fixed it it is advised to install a custom rom.
