MY LG G2 for verizon is bricked HELLLPPPPP PLEASE

sorry to bother you all. i bricked my device and it's only a few hours old. I rooted it using the io root method. that was painless.
anyway, it didn't brick then. i got a notification from verizon for the 4.4.2 update so I clicked download update it never installed and that's when the bricking started. Anytime I connect it to the computer it opens up like 40 disks and it says cannot be used unless it's formatted so I have to spend a while canceling those out. when I restart the phone it says the lg logo then the screen goes black . im stuck. i've been trying for hours. if i get the phone back i won't root it or do anything. ill deal with the bloatware, whatever. i've tried a lot of different things but to no avail. any help is appreciated. thank you for your time...and wont go into download mode....help please anyone....
i have no recovery installed....every time i try to cut the phone off it vibrates screen goes off and on showing the lg logo very quickly then goes black but remains on until battery drains

Im in the same boat

Did just like you with OTA today and now bricked. Guess I will have to call Verizon and see what they can do.

If you can't boot into stock recovery (vol down + power key) and can't get into download mode (this is where they detect root once FW update shows up and the bottom left corner says Bootloader: ROOTED) then you can rest assure as long as you are under warranty, send it in to LG directly.
Do not send it to Verizon as you may incur charges for replacement. There's insurance from Verizon, but the real "replace with no charge" warranty is sending it to LG directly. Make an account on their website, register your G2, and make a Repair request by online chat or phone.
I just got my T-mobile G2 back after 2 weeks with the same issues and while it took a while to get repaired, I didn't pay a penny and it works without T-Mobile ever knowing its different hardware (all they replace is the flash memory that is corrupted in the phone).
Only downside is that it came back with KitKat and unrooted which means I have to wait for a working root procedure for it unlike with JB (I'm not afraid to root it again since I know what messed it up before was custom recovery TWRP version 2.6.3.2 that doesn't support KitKat lol).

Not getting into download mode is odd especially for just accepting a OTA update. Remember since they accepted the OTA its gonna take a special way of getting into download mode as the phone will be constantly on in boot loop. not all of the time but most of the time when people say they cant get into bootloader they have to keep trying due to the phone has to be "Turned off" OR rebooted at the same time of holding down the key combo.

To get the phone to turn off, one has to reboot the phone (power key for 10 seconds) while holding volume up WITHOUT having the USB cable plugged in.
Recovery mode is a bit trickier by having to hold the power key for 10 seconds, then just as the phone reboots, hold PWR + VOL DWN and while holding VOL DWN, release PWR and press it again (gets to that factory reset screen where you press PWR 3 times).
Not trying to teach you this if you already know how, just stating it if the OP looks at this then he can try again with the above.
Also, Download mode is essentially the "bootloader" and it is locked meaning unless you have certified software (KDZ FW updater), you can't adb anything just in download mode unlike some LG phones that have emergency mode which is unlocked bootloader.

Yea I know the commands, The guide for going back to stock was created by me for the G2 haha, Hopefully the OP will see your post and try that

ive tried
ive tried factory reset "vol down & power"...its just goes black and stays the same

I'm having about the exact same problem. I rooted my phone a while back, I left it stock and just used some modules (xposed). When I noticed the update I of course was stupid enough to hit the update... My phone is doing the same as his. I can get to the factory reset screen but even if I go through there I get the same black screen (though backlit). I can't boot into download. I'm downloading the .tot needed for stock, but I'm not sure if that'll be a lot of good without download mode. I have everything on my phone backed up from when I rooted it (I'm missing a few pictures but nothing major.) Any and all help would be appreciated. I've got a bunch of precalc homework and Prom in a couple days so I'm willing to sacrifice sleep tonight. Thanks! (Made this account just for this, though I've used the site a bit before.)

It's cuz you're not doing it correctly.
Yes, you're supposed to depress "vol down & power" but once you see LG logo, let go of both buttons and then immediately hold down only the "power" button.
After a few secs, a white factory reset screen will appear. Ignore the warning and press power button. I know, its kinda scary at first, but then phone will load into recovery.

I can get to the factory data reset screen but when i choose yes it just gives me the secure boot error. I am able to put my phone into download mode by pressing up volume and power when plugging to pc, but cant get pc to recognize it. I am sure I am missing something.

i am also bricked. i cant get into download mode or recovery. i have twrp installed, cant get to that either. i have tried every button combination and all i get is a black screen and vibrations, no lg logo. need help.

Call LG verizon will void your warranty

Has anyone made any progress or did all just send back to LG?
I am in similar shape, can get to the white factory reset screen - which does nothing once I accept.
I can also get into download mode, but the phone isn't recognized.
Wanted to confirm before I try to send it back that I can't fix myself.
Thanks!

Also, did anyone who was able to get back to the hard reset screen have luck sending to LG? Or did it have to be completely bricked?

Im also bricked. And there is no recovery mode. download mode is usable. but when i in twrp before brick i deleted efs because i have a back up after that recovery had corrupted and driver in the rom memory to talk to pc had also deleted with efs(i think). I have an idea to fix but im not sure
If I can change rom from mainboard and replace it other rom from other lg g2? Will it solve my and our problem??????
thanks to reply.

L31 bricked by flashing rollback package

Hi All.
I hope someone can help me. I encountered this stupid problem:
I have a L31 device and successfully installed the Nougat (test?)update through Firmware Finder. But since this wasn't the definitive update, I decided to rollback to MM. I installed the C900B300 rollback package and then the B160 package. That went well, BUT the device now refused to activate the Google services. I couldn't enter a Google account. Not from Settings > Accounts and not from any other Google app like Chrome, Play Store, Gmail or others. The screen just kept returning to the Homescreen.
Upon checking About this device, I noticed the version now was C900B160, instead of the expected C432B160. I am very positive I used the C432B160 MM package to flash. This I did with the three button method. But then how come it still showed C900B160?
So I first tried to reflash the C432B160 with the three button method. Flashing worked well, but the problem wasn't solved. Still no Google activation and still the same C900B160 number.
So then I decided to reflash the rollback package...
That turned out to be a mistake... After flashing that (and it did show 100% successfull after flashing) the device is bricked. The Huawei logo shows and then nothing happens. The logo stays in the screen. I can't even turn the device off. Short pressing the ON-OFF button does nothing and long pressing just restarts the logo and nothing more.
I tried to reflash the MM update C432B160 with the three button technique, but that doesn't work anymore!! Entering erecovery with the volume up and ON-OFF also doesn't work anymore!! The only thing that works is Fastboot when connected to a pc. That screen shows phone (and bootloader) is locked, by the way. So I can't flash boot.img and recovery.img .
Has anybody encountered such problems and knows what to do now?? Thanks guys!

With fastboot method, unlock bootloader again. Flash recovery. Boot into recovery. Wipe system and boot. Flash stock boot IMG and recovery IMG. Power off. Use dload. Now you are in bootloop. When booting press vol up 3 seconds, on e-recovery press shutdown. Press and hold power and vol up. Go to stock recovery, do factory reset.

Thanks for your help.
Trouble is that I can't unlock te bootloader, because I do not know my Product ID and I can't look it up, since I don't have a dialer... The HuaweiProductIDGenerator doesn't help. I tried several codes with it, but none worked.

No, I can only get into fastboot when connected to a pc.

OK. gtdaniel was so kind to provide me with an unlock code. THANKS!
But, I don't seem te be able to use it...
I can put the phone in bootloader when connected to a pc. When I type "fastboot devices" I do get the correct serial number. But when I type "fastboot oem unlock 343...338" I get a FAILED (remote: command not allowed).
It seems this is because I never could allow OEM unlocking from the Android settings menu. But since my phone is bricked, I can not enter into that menu!
Does anybody know how to solve this??

Maybe is dump question but did you install adb android driver ?
I'm pretty sure that someone wrote in thread that you don't need to have this oem permission in android if you are in fastboot

Yes, that's what I read too. Since I can't change that permission anymore while I can't start Android, I can't unlock. Dammit.
Is DC Unlocker my only option then? It seems their software can do it.

I'm afraid I've got some pretty bad news. Last week the same thing happened to me after I was THAT stupid to actually try and flash the rollback package for the second time. My phone got bricked just like yours, and NOTHING worked to fix it. I tried completely everything I could find on the net and XDA, and in the very end I was forced to bring it in for warranty repairs. Even they COULD NOT fix it and the phone ended up with the entire logicboard changed with a completely new one. I was lucky that it all was done under warranty. Will never do anything as stupid as that!
Really hope you find a fix somehow, but if not, the repair service is your only solution, because otherwise the phone is as good as dead.

my phone is also reedy to send to service. I have a lot of phone with android but no rom make so many damage to my phone, like this fc** rollback. finger cross, because huawei service in my country without warranty,takes for new motherboard 175 $ . I bought phone for 233 $ with 3 gb ram..... This will be harsh and pay(in)ful lesson for me.

Uhh, I am sorry to hear that. But yes, I had the same harsh lesson. They will be forced to changed the motherboard too, cause even they won't be able to re-flash the whole system. Though, what I did to have the warranty not declined, is I brought the phone to the service and said that - "The phone received and OTA update through the updater, I didn't look much into it and just went with it, pressed on update and everything seemed well. It worked until the moment where it installed and restarted, and now the phone is stuck on Huawei logo and you can't possibly do anything with it, not even turn it off." - and that's it. They will have to repair it under warranty because there is no proof left that you had rooted it or done any other installations not authorized by Huawei.
Best of luck!

Some user got the same problem that you have and flash boot.
But truly if u don't have "your device has been unlock" only bootloop on huawei logo, is more simple to send it back to warranty and play dump.
I have now "your device is unlock" and i pray for miracle.

I am exactly in the same situation with the difference that I don't have Fasboot! How do you get to Fastboot? Mine hangs on the screen that says the phone is unlocked and the device is booting... Vol+/Vol- and Power doesn't boot into Fastboot and my minimal ADB doesn't recognize the phone in the stages that it hangs...
---------- Post added 16th April 2017 at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was 15th April 2017 at 11:52 PM ----------
I have the same situation. I tried everything, Three button method, letting the battery run out completely, Vol+ and Power, Vol- and Power, connected to PC, not connected to PC. Every time I disconnect the charger, and reconnect it starts from 0. I read some other people here have the same problem. Send it to warranty and explain your rollback process unlocked the bootloader somehow (I mean the phone does do a lot of sh*ty sh*t, so this shouldn't seem very odd as well!!!) and hope that you get a repair/replacement and after that sell it on ebay hoping some stupid people like us in the first place will buy it and spend your money on a phone more reliable!

I managed to access the fastboot using the 3 button method in cold boot. Hold the Power key until the screen goes off and then release and hold down the Vol- key and immideately connect the usb cable to PC right before it vibrates or exactly when it vibrates (it's a matter of timing), and bingo you are in fastboot and you can flash system.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and boot.img from there, but this is not how I revived my phone. I used the 3 button method again when the phone was charged for like half an hour or so and the did the same cold boot trick and I could boot into the force upgrade environment (strangely this still didn't work whitout connecting the usb cable to PC), but it somehow didn't want to read the UPDATE.APP that I had in dload folder on my SD card and wanted to have it from my PC (I just felt it nad there was no indication of it ) so then I installed the DC Phoenix tool and payed 15 euros to be able to inject the complete UPDATE.APP to my bricked phone and the installation went well to 99% and failed, but I rebooted the phone and I could boot normally. Just to make sure I did a factory reset afterwards. Hope this helps.

Cannot get into Bootloader
Hey there!
Essentially as stupid as I am i flashed the Rollback Image at Android 6.0 too, because i wanted to get rid of C900. So now my phone is stuck in the Startup screen too. As mentioned here, I wanted to unlock bootloader again; The Button combination does not work, and if I want to start in bootloader via ADB, it just says "waiting for device"
i am really desperate and i don't know what i should do now
Thanks for the help
EDIT: Somehow managed to got it into Bootloader. At the moment i am unlocking it. Where do i get TWRP and the needed things? Please help, i'm just some noob who doesn't know how it's done
EDIT2: Solved, got Stock Recovery Re-installed, Flashed with the Force Update Method the Main Package of the Rollback (so not the temp rollback data), and worked. But Still C900 and no Google sign-in possible. Someone know how to solve?

LG V20 Device is Corrupt and BootLoop

Hey all! Hopefully you can help with this issue. I have had this phone through T Mobile for a few months now, and am stuck in a real bind. As the title suggests, I have a boot loop issue and Device is Corrupt issue as well. The red Triangle is an issue with the OS. I cannot get the phone to boot to Android, nor get into recovery. I can however bring up the IMEI menu, which displayed the IMEI. I really need help, as this is my main contact for job search and family.

Im on sprint so this method is unavalable to me.
Tried LGUP? you have the ability to shoehorn a KDZ file in whicj will bring your phone to stock
As this is a no go for the ls997 i have no idea how this is accomplished. Check the forums for said method.

I will definitely look into this. I just want my phone back TT.TT lol

I wanted to chime in, I've got the same issue as OP.
What's broken:
turning the phone on normally - displays an LG logo; gets stuck, won't proceed past this point
holding VolUp while connected to PC - displays IMEI; won't enter download mode
holding VolDown - displays IMEI; won't enter fastboot or recovery mode
So, there's no way to get to recovery. I'm stuck with a $400 brick that displays a logo or an IMEI number.
LGUP w/Uppercut doesn't work either, shows up as an unrecognized device, and it wouldn't matter if it were recognized, because I can't get the phone to download mode to restore a stock .kdz.
I just ordered the phone on the 4th from Amazon, so I'll see if I can return it/get a replacement, but I'm guessing I won't be that lucky. It does display the orange "WARNING: Bootloader Unlocked" screen, meaning it's very easy to see that the warranty has been voided, so I guess whatever support I get is a crapshoot.
Again, since I can't get to fastboot mode, there's no way to restore to stock and relock the bootloader before returning it. Kinda dug myself into a hole here with no other options.

I got it to install! Now to just play the waiting game and see what happens. I had to do some finagling to get it to work, but it works.
I found a H91810 KDZ, I started Uppercut which loaded LGUP, click on UPGRADE, then selext the KDZ file from where you saved it. Should work. Also make sure all of your drivers are up to date.

How did you do it, I'm currently having the same problem with a phone that's on T-mobile

questionblock said:
I wanted to chime in, I've got the same issue as OP.
What's broken:
turning the phone on normally - displays an LG logo; gets stuck, won't proceed past this point
holding VolUp while connected to PC - displays IMEI; won't enter download mode
holding VolDown - displays IMEI; won't enter fastboot or recovery mode
So, there's no way to get to recovery. I'm stuck with a $400 brick that displays a logo or an IMEI number.
LGUP w/Uppercut doesn't work either, shows up as an unrecognized device, and it wouldn't matter if it were recognized, because I can't get the phone to download mode to restore a stock .kdz.
I just ordered the phone on the 4th from Amazon, so I'll see if I can return it/get a replacement, but I'm guessing I won't be that lucky. It does display the orange "WARNING: Bootloader Unlocked" screen, meaning it's very easy to see that the warranty has been voided, so I guess whatever support I get is a crapshoot.

Were you ever able to get this resolved? I'm having the same problem, except it's not showing anything about the bootloader that I can see

Ok, I seem to have my device back up and running. The step I was missing was to remove the battery, disconnect the USB cable, put the battery back in, hold volume down but don't press power, instead connect usb cable. This got me into fastboot and I was able to recover from there.

this might work for you!

okay so holding VolUp while powered down and plugging into pc will bring up download mode if its still there,
if you have twrp installed prior to this red triangle then pull battery/put back battery. hold VolDown and power at the same time, as soon as LG logo comes up release power button (fast) and then hold it back down again while never letting go of VolDown. this is the factory reset hit yes for both questions and it should reboot phone into Recovery mode. some times you have to do it twice to get recovery (twrp) to pop up! i hope you have bootloader unlocked and twrp.

If using the LGUP you must get the G4 Dll file for it to read the phone and com its on. i believe its a common.dll file i cant really remember...

What model do you have?
You can put the phone to download mode (even if screen displays glitchy gibberish screen) by taking out Battery first, put battery back in after 10 seconds. Then just press Vol up and while keeping it pressed, connect to USB. If you have drivers installed, your phone will get recognized by LGUP. Now from here you can flash the stock rom.

BLN-L24N - Honor 6x
Sooo, I have the same problem , here's my story. Please help I've resorted to using a SGH-T599N... Its embarrassing... I'd almost rather have an iPhone...
So Little ol' me was messing around/ deleted google play services/ reboot to twrp to recover but device ended up bricked. At the time, still able to access fastboot. I flashed recovery and firmware. I then tried dload roll back method and when it cleared the phone bootloader locked. So I unlocked bootloader again but when device re-booted the following screen came up and still remains:
" ' Your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted. ' -- ' Your device is booting now... ' " (No options are available.)
I eventually tried to restart to fastboot or erecovery BUT Everytime I try to power down the device, it tries to power up again but needs to charge for a minute before trying to boot itself back up. .(even after being on the charger for hours this happens). The problem with that is I can't get into fastboot or force dload because it automatically starts itself/ has to be plugged in until it turns back on. (Yes i've tried button mashing/ button holding/ etc. did not help)
How do I get the phone to charge, without it booting up? I have a feeling that if I can get it to start (without it first having to charge) I can get it to fastboot/ or erecovery. I have already tried to let the battery COMPLETELY drain.
Outside of that, I know the whole roll back and dload stuff. Currently it flashes the honor logo screen and then sits at "Your device is booting now..."
Bootloader is unlocked
OH! I should clarify, it boots on its own. I've tried disconnecting the battery, having it on the charger without the
battery. With the battery, Starting phone up by re-connecting the battery. No positive results
I'm about to start messing around with firmware flashing utilities, I just don't know of any. I wish there was a way to flash without being in fastboot mode. (I know very little of perl/python/linux, but I am a quick learner if you point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance

So on ny phobe the mainboard is dead so i guess the internal storage is corrupted
I need to change that and i guess you need too...
It's not so expensive(like 40$ for my phone)

Mega Bricked 7X - Calling out all Senior/Pros for HELP!!

HI, I will get right to the point. My phone is Honor 7x (BND-AL10C675 INDIAN) I screwed it up.
Now, the fastboot or recovery or E recovery nothing works!!
There is only one screen which keeps coming in a loop rebooting with a vibration
It says " ERROR MODE"
ATTENTION!
PLEASE UPDATE SYSTEM AGAIN
ERROR! FUNC NO : 8 (HIFI IMAGE)
ERROR NO : 1 (SECURITY VERIFY FAILED)
It keeps rebooting and the phone doesn't even turn off. I tried the download mode (Volume UP & Down Power button, SAME SCREEN comes up)
Let me know if you want me to write a detailed version of how I got here or ask any specific questions.
Now, all I need is at least FASTBOOT so I can do something about it. Is there anyone who can help? I hope SOME PRO OR A GEEK is able to solve this issue magically. I just can't tell you what I'm going through.
UPDATE:
As Christo31 requested and maybe it's useful for other people to help me out. Here is what I did. It's a real long story!!
I have Honor 7x (BND-AL10C675 INDIAN) I had unlocked bootloader and twrp and I was on emui 8 beta which I flashed manually using one of the tutorials here on the forum. One day, I decided to get back to stock as I was stuck in emui 8 beta and no OTA updates so I downloaded the emui 8 stable rom from firmware finder and put it in sd card "dload" folder. Now, for this method to work, we need to relock bootloader and flash stock recovery which I did and it completely wiped everything out.
Now, the "dload" method fails at 5% every time. I tried different roms for this very model but no it doesn't work. (Also, my build no. was stuck at B141 for a long time no matter what rom I changed : Yes, this is stupid, I should have fixed it first) Maybe that's why the "dload" method doesn't work.
So, in this forum I saw some with similar issue but somewhat different " Frp locked & bootloader unlocked" and I was told that the DC phoenix software might fix this and I bought some credits and used the software. Here's what I discovered
My observations with the software:
* I put the phone in fastboot and downloaded the update.app full Ota (same one emui stable) and tried to flash. The software flash well ok as it says "the software is written" but the phone doesn't boot and goes directly into the recovery mode and again the bootloader and frp are locked.
*Here, I noticed that it shows something like "opening backdoor" and then the Bootloader status goes to red and says "UNLOCKED" it means it was definitely doing something so the next I repeated the same process but as soon as the phone was "UNLOCKED", I pulled the usb cable out and I kept my command ready and tried "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img" and guess what it flashed that twrp file and I could see in the command line that it went "okay" so I immediately booted to recovery but again the stock recovery comes up. Also, I tried system.img also it flashes fine but phone doesn't boot. Same recovery.
REMEMBER: THE ABOVE STEPS MAY WORK FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER BUT FRP LOCKED. IN MY CASE BOTH ARE LOCKED SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
* I tried another update.app I guess it's BNDL22.ZIP or something and this time the software was trying to flash in "upgrade mode" and somehow the recovery was broke. There was some "ERROR MODE" basically the recovery was broke. I didn't care much. Although flashing another update.app would have fixed it.
* The next step I tried after a lot of trial & error for about 1.5 days. This time I did the same when the bootloader was unlocked, I pulled the cable and tried the command "fastboot oem unlock unlock code" ( I should have got this idea before, I mean it's a mess guys, I didn't sleep for too long) and I was shocked to see that it showed the options "Unlocked bootloader yes or no" and I clicked "yes" and I jumped hoping that it's over but... I ended up with 'ERROR MODE' which I described above.
* I feel, because the recovery was broken, it ended up in error mode. Just imagine if my recovery was fine and then I tried this command then it would have erased everything and maybe I might have been presented with fastboot screen with both "frp & bootloader Unlcock" or at least 'bootloader unlock" in either way, I could have flashed a 'system.img' and get into settings and BEATH THE HELL OUT OF THAT "ENABLE OEM UNLOCK' in settings. The rest you know.
I wrote this not just because someone might help me but because a lot of posts on this forum really helped me a lot and posts like these can help a lot of people down the road.
Now, my phone is still in the same loop. Reboot, Honor logo, Error mode...REPEAT
I heard that once the phone drains down completely, we may get back fastboot. Fingers crossed. Sadly, I have Mac so I borrowed windows laptop for this purpose from a friend. This is the last day and I guess I'm going to put it on sale and sell it as a scrap or something for display and stuff.
How much does motherboard cost? anyone any ideas? if it's below 4K or about 80$ then I might go for the repair if nothing works!!
I'm going to update on this very soon. Le'ts hope for a miracle. Either way my HONOR 7X IS A LEGEND.
UPDATE :
After waiting for hours, my phone got discharged and I curiously plugged in the phone pressing "volume down" button OR power + volume and all other types of combinations but the phone just goes to the same "ERROR MODE' and keeps going in the same loop.
So, I really hate Huawei for not providing stock firmware or some type of recovery for people like me to get back to stock. For example : Xiaomi has that fastboot ROMS which you can easily flash in EDL mode no matter what happens to you and of course some other ways to recovery the bricked phones.
The Huawei E recovery?? What the **** is it? Does it ever work? It's some kind of a joke. The hisuite is again **** It says 'My model is not supported" and it only showed me two very older and ancient models that are supported for recovery.
I'm not expecting warranty but at least they should give the service for the customer. Did I tell you that this phone was in Service centre for three days when it had FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, E RECOVERY working. They could n't fix it in 3 days so I rushed them to get my phone back hoping that I would recover it with the above method.
Now, I got the Redmi Note 5 Pro and my 7X is a dead brick and I'll try selling it as scrap for display etc...
Finally, I really love the XDA forums and the friendly members who are very helping and so empathetic. Thanks guys, you are the best
I'm not leaving. I'll see you on the other side. I mean, the Redmi Note 5 pro development. Keep hustling

You need to tell us what you did exactly first for any help

when you are in this situation
- Keep press "volume down" + "power button" for about 10 seconds, the phone will reboot
- When the phone reboot, release the "power button" but keep "volume down" and in the same time plug the micro usb cable ( you have to be ready and quick )
the phone will boot in FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE ( hope you have unlocked bootloader and frp unlocked )

Hi, thanks for your help but the phone doesn't turn off. it just keeps rebooting and there is honor logo and then error mode and then phone reboots and the same cycle. I tried what you said also with other possible things but I guess I need to let the battery drain out completely as some people said it worked for them. It's almost 9 hours and it's still not drained (it was on full charge) anyway Fingers Crossed!!

Let the battery drain, and then try to get into fastboot using key combinations. Let me know if you can do this, from there on you can proceed normally.

and with phone , off, totaly discharged, holding volume down, and plugging in the usb cable , just gives you same error mode?

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------
[/COLOR]Follow this steps.
1. Just flash with Dc phoenix
3 extract two update. App with huwai firmware extractor.
4. Check the log of dc phoix. Check which files are not flashed. By comparing with extracted files You will observe some files are not flashed. (some files are not in log of dc phoinix) Like Vendor.img product.img cust.img etc.. Note down which imgs are not flashed..
5. Now use multitool and go to unbrick option. There will be option of flashing around 5 img. Flash the 5 imgs. You will get this 5 img from extracting Update.app
6.then your phone will be working but not perfectly. Flash TWRP with fastboot.
7. Aftee flashing TWRP flash all other imgs which were not flashed by dc phoenix.
Then boot. Your phone must be good.
And again if you want then re flash with HWOTA tool. Your phone will be running now.

i more question for you. Please . Does the three button combo from power off attempt to show update screen. I know for everyone the dload method is failing at 5%, but still need to know if yours is attempting this or not even try.
There might be dload method that works, according to posts on 4pda.ru

I tried that also. Power+Volume UP+Volume Down to get into download mode but it just goes into that "ERROR MODE'
Normally, it should but maybe because I broke my stock recovery also and then tried to unlock the bootloader when the frp was locked with the DC phoenix trick (Pulling out the plug) that it's really screwed up beyond all this. Let me know if you want me to post pics or maybe if the clips canoe uploaded here, I will make short clip with what's happening. I guess I need some factory or manufacturer level stuff or I need to replace the motherboard. BTW the local guy told me it costs 8K INR which is around 125-130 USD which I'm not willing to spend. I got Redmi Note 5 Pro and I'll probably never ever buy Huawei phones ever.
ANYONE HERE WHO CAN DONATE THE MOTHERBOARD, PLEASE PM ME:laugh:
