Hi all, I turned on my P8 lite (ALE-L21) after few years and it's stuck in rescue mode (with errors "security verify failed" and "hifi image" or "boot image").
Can't go into fastboot mode. I tried to put firmware on SD card and then press volume up, volume down and power button but instead of leading me to installing a firmware, it leads me to recovery mode. I deleted cache and wiped all data (factory reset), but still having the same issue.
Also, I can't turn off the phone by pressing power button, it just restarts it. Only way to turn it off is by letting the battery drain or by unplugging the battery.
If anyone has any idea on how to fix this, that would be great. Thanks

Last week my girlfriend's Huawei P8 Lite suddenly started bootlooping. She noticed this when she picked it up from the table after not having touched it for an hour or so, so we can't be sure how it happened, but I assume the phone might have been installing an ota update and the battery died meanwhile. Can this be?
Anyway, it doesn't get any further than a bootloop now. It shows the recovery screen with the three options: 1. Reboot system now 2. Wipe data/factory reset 3: Wipe cache partition
After showing this screen for like half a minute, it reboots again, every time.
Choosing option 2 doesn't help anything; the factory reset succeeds but it just boots and loops the same way again.
When I plug the phone into my computer it gives me these options: 1. Reboot 2. Download new version and recovery 3. Shutdown.
Again for half a minute or so and bootlooping. When I choose option 2 it says 'Download and recovery', and if I do that it always get stuck at '5% installing update'. No change there either.
So I thought I'll try to locally update/fresh install by downloading the latest EMUI and putting the dload>update.app into the root of the SD card. I found on the web that you then have to boot the phone by pressing volume up+volume down+power button to install a local update, BUT unfortunately the volume up button of this phone is broken since a couple of weeks ...
Does someone have any idea how I can fix this phone? Perhaps an other way to locally install an update without the use of the volume up button?
Thanks in advance!
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Hi guys,
I can not turn on my huawei y625-u21. When i am trying to switch it on, phone freezes on huawei logo (first screen which is shown on start - probably called boot screen). I am not able run also recovery mode (vol+) or update mode (vol+ and vol-), so i am not able to perform update of firmware from sd card. Is there any other way to to perform update (flash) of firmware on device, which is not turned on? I have read something about twrp flash, but if i am not wrong, device should be switched on before this process. I would like to install new firmwere, to check, if phone has hardware or software defect.
to put it into recovery mode, you need to hold volume up button and power button, once the huawei logo appears, release power button but keep holding volume up, after about 30 - 45 seconds, it will boot into recovery mode. i have had this issue over and over and i've had to discover this method myself after trying all methods i found, you can reach me on [emailĀ protected] in case you need anything else. if it fails to boot into recovery, just remove the battery for a few seconds and insert then try again. i have this very model of phone too.
Hi Masters,
Need your advice here.
My p9 lite cannot boot up and only shows your device is booting now screen.
I cannot power off even force power off, and there is no responding whatever key combinations i pushed.
The step taken to this error is I did unlock my p9 lite and tried to flash twrp by following the guide, then I cannot enter fastboot mode and recovery mode after that.
I tried take out the battery and let the phone disconnect with power supply, after i put back the battery, i push the power key it still shows same screen as your device is booting now.
Any idea how to resolve this? I assume some fatal error with the motherboard, but i can say nothing after i unlock the phone.
Your suggestion and advice are much appreciateļ¼ thank you!
I had the same problem,what I did was force power off by holding power button for ,well idk how long but until device booted down,then I held volume down and connected it to pc,so it enters fastboot,but you have to do it fast,as it will reboot once its turned off.Then I tried various twrps,revolution recovery etc,and the only one that worked was meticulus twrp.I know you said you cant force power off,but try holding power key long
Once you hold the power off button, the phone will never power off, instead, the phone will reboot and bring you to the error page "your device is booting now" and stuck there. I tried to push the power up or power down button before i see huawei logo, but it will show me the same page.
Yes,when you hold power off phone will reboot,and you have to be fast with volume down and cable.Pre-plug the cable it computer ,bring it near phone,power off and before it boots plug it in while holding volume-
thank you for your suggestion. I tried many times, no matter how quickly i am, I only able to see the device booting page. I have mentioned one point above, i did take out the battery, and i see the error screen after i put back the battery, so i assume the problem with motherboard.
How many of you did return the faulty and unlocked phone to service centre then get "free" services?
Hi.
My phone auto-boots when I insert the battery and then stays stuck at the mi logo till the battery is exhausted.
I tried pressing power key + combos.. to forcefully close phone or start recovery but nothing works.
I can't go into fastboot or recovery. I had a custom ROM (Lineage 14.1) before and I was trying to factory reset from TWRP when this issue occurred.
What should I do?
- I have tried using a different battery from a different working Redmi 2 phone but that didn't work.
Please help.
Model: (HM2014818)
SOLVED.
Holding the power button for some time (15 secs) with Vol down enabled me to start fastboot.
From there, just flashed recovery and done.
Hello guys, been a while, but I got myself into trouble. For a while I had rooted the phone but one time I rebooted and it supposedly no longer had root. Today I got a notification that magisk updated, so I decided to try it. I booted into recovery and tried to flash. Nothing happened. I tried wiping davlik cache and tried again. What ended up happening instead was that the phone was unresponsive. I attempted to reboot, but instead I got stuck in a bootloop.
I realize the most effective way to get out of it is to flash the firmware via Odin, but since I didn't make a backup I want to avoid that if possible. The problem is that other than the soft reboot (power + volume down) I cannot power off the phone to access recovery mode! I've searched and searched, but have only found ways to soft reset, which doesn't help me access recovery mode.
Is there a way to power off the phone while stuck in a bootloop? Or, alternatively, is there a way to boot into recovery while in a bootloop?
It's so frustrating to not be able to something as simple as a battery pull since the phone is sealed. Is there a way to replicate that to be able to power it off?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hold the power button for 10 seconds.

Hold Vol down and power for soft reboot. As soon as the screen goes off to reboot quickly switch to recovery combo (bixby + up + power) it should boot to recovery

What if Vol down and power don't work, adb, fastboot and device manager don't see it, any other combinations tried too, wait for full discharge don't option. Help plz
Did you manage to get out of this?
Im really scared i bricked my phone now. Everything was working fine but after i did a normal reboot it suddenly would not start up.
Screen is black and the only way i can get a response from the phone is the soft restart (vol down + power).
I need to get into recovery somehow so i can restore my nandroid backup but vol up + bixby + power doesnt work (i assume the phone is on and frozen or something?)
I managed to fix my phone. After leaving it for 24 hours the battery was fully drained. After charging again i could boot to twrp and restore my nandroid backup.
