WHAT TO DO IF GOT A BOOTLOOP
1.- Remove battery *edit** I didnt remove battery, I plugged out the usb instead**
2.- Power on your phone again, and once the 4 leds start flashing, repeatedly press a physical key (g-button or volume rocker) until your phone reboots and ir access to CWM
3.- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, then reflash the ROM again
4.- Reboot and wait

And if it doesn't work, you can connect your phone to your computer, start adb shell and type in 'reboot recovery'. Your phone will enter cwm and you can restore a backup, reflash a rom..
I use this method if I get a bootloop. (I'm developing a rom.) I think it's very helpful, because you don't must use smartflashtool.
cakebomb.

in some situation adb cannot connect the phone and you have to use the smartflash tool

Anim Mod bootloop
I have the same problem here! I got bootloop after using anim mod. I'm able to go to stock recovery. I had backup my file then did factory reset but problem still not solved. I had backup my framework-res.apk file but it's not on a flashable zip format.
i've tried using apk multi tool on trying to do and adb push but it's not working
what can I do next?

connect your phone to pc in s/w upgrade mode->pull out your battery, hold + and plug in the usb in phone..and after that, use smart flash tool to flash firmware(v20) with CWM included..and after firmware flash your phone will enter in CWM recovery, now from CWM you need to flash supersu from sd card..after flashing firmware and superuser, DO a data,cache,davlik cache wipe !..and just after this you can exit from CWM(reboot)
Here's a link to all tools that you need to repair your phone. You need to use smartflash tool, a V20 firmware with cwm( you can download it from here), and put the Superuser.zip to your sd card..and install USB driver if you haven't installed it yet
I use this method every time when my phone is stuck on bootloop or if I've flashed a ROM that doesn't have root..or other situations.. This method brings you to a rooted gingerbread with CWM(this is all what you need, because from here you can do what you want..for example flashing which ROM you like )
!!! You can use this method anytime...doesn't matter which ROM you have or if your phone is rooted or not. After using this method your phone will be fully rooted, will have CWM recovery and android 2.3 gingerbread !!!

i9001 Always boots to CWM Recovery.

Can someone please help me? I installed CWM recovery 5.5 and now my phone always enters in it after powering up. Some kind of loop.I restart the phone...enters CMW...on and on.
I found a tutorial but it's for Asus transformer prime,and my phone won't cold boot. I tried Volume down + power,and i didn't find any tutorial how to cold boot i9001.
Can i fix the cwm loop? Can i go back to my old recovery ,the stock one?

First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
Try a solution from My Android Solutions
(Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.)

Dear friend,
I have the same problem as the Author. I installed CMW v5.5.0.4 so I flash cyanogen ICS.
Anyway, I entered Downloadmode, I connected to Odin and did as you said.
As a result, when the phone is shut down
a. When I press the power button, "Samsung" logo appears, and then black screen forever. Then I remove battery.
b. When I press Vol Up + Power button, it enters CMW (but when I select "Reboot now" it goes samsung-blackscreen like"a"
c. When I press Vol down+power+home key, it goes to downolad mode (I did a 2nd time what you suggested, but Nothing improved).
Please help, I am desperate.

I have flash cwn 5.5 and i'mstuck in a recovery loop; i have put also the cm9 and gapps but still loop.The problem is that i cant modify the files with odin, the reason is the usb sumsung driver that otherwise is working but in downloading mode the phone cant conect with the pc) , so can i use somehow only the sd card and solve the recovery loop.Tx

I've put the cwn 6.0 and the problem is gone now, no loop,...works fine, ..i've tried some games/apps, and it seams that not all of them are working ,..but it's ok , the root and the ICS will do

i9001 bootloop
this is the only thing it worked for me:
Put this file on sdcard
Load it via recovery with "install from sdcard"
it will automatically reboot the phone
once solved, copy to sdcard and restore attached stock recovery.img or don't reboot into recovery again, as it will bootloop again:
from within phone, start terminal emulator and type:
su <enter>
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 <enter>
of course, needs root
---
i installed supposed "stable" twrp 2.2.1 and it produced bootloop into recovery
don´t know if last twrp 2.4.1.0 or cmw 6.0.3.7 for stock roms will solve it but i won't try, i restored stock recovery.img from a backup i made with "online nandroid backup"
bootloop is veeeeeeery common in i9001, the fix above that worked for me erases (fills with zeros) param partition mmcblk0p14, a partition for temporary commands that non-stock recoveries don't erase before rebooting and cause bootloops

AMAZING!!! You are a lifesaver. :highfive:
I had bricked my Galaxy S Plus after flashing TWRP which caused a recovery bootloop. I tried using download mode to reflash bootloader using Odin but my PC said "USB device not recognized". I tried tons of drivers, factory resets/system format(which was a bad decision), different cables and even PCs but I couldn't get my device recognized at all. I thought the phone was a paperweight now but I finally found your post and successfully booted my phone to unofficial CM12 without any problems!
Thanks a lot once again!! :laugh::good:

haha
perfect it worked for you! another smartphone saved!!
nice my explanation helped you!
you are welcome

Bricked

Connect your device to the PC, and ADB is gonna be accessible for 2-4 seconds while the logo is loading (bootanimation), by that time you can flash recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or simply enter bootloader mode by (i think) holding power up + vol up + vol down buttons. After you have access to the recovery, things are gonna be easier as you can flash ROM's, kernels etc etc. (either via ADB or the recovery itself)
Best regards,
James

Resolved
Thank you Everyone for helping and guiding issue is resolved your help is always appreciated...

how?
How?

same problem here with my P7 L00 , forum should work both ways, would be nice if you could post solution... tks

Most likely the solution from #4.
Also note that you can easily enter bootloader mode by
a.) disconnecting device and powering it off completely
b.) holding down VOL DOWN and connecting device until it boots into bootloader mode
(Similarly, if you hold down VOL UP you can enter recovery.)
In bootloader mode, flash the correct recovery, then you can do the three button update with update.app in the dload folder.

Did you flash the correct stock recovery for the device? Not having the correct recovery might just throw you into the recovery instead of flashing the software. Also, the recovery should be unzipped inside the dload folder (some people forget this).

tks! using TWRP 2.8.7.0 that runs ok on EMUI 3.0 - not original recovery - maybe that s why then I can t get to force download?

When you flash stock recovery, make sure that you're using exact version of the ROM.
Like if you had B609 you should use B609 recovery image and no other!
I made the mistake of using B621 recovery image on a B609, thinking "well it's the same, both are KitKat and both are EMUI 3.0" but NO! I was wrong.
Don't make the same mistake i did.
Let me know if you get stuck

Yes, that is the problem - *only* stock recovery can install stock ROMs and updates! Depending on your base version, you should install the recovery for the BXXX ROM (e.g.: if you are on CWM flashable B609, flash the recovery for B609, etc.).

tks all, I will flash stock recory and post back
follow up: TWRP was the issue, flashed stock recovery and was good to go...running EMUI 3.1 android 5.1 already, tks for all!

Noob with Huawei phone - 2 issues.

Hi,
I got a Huawei phone to play with and I tried unlocking the bootloader and installing a new ROM.
Got root with rootking. Can't install SuperSU.
1. I unlocked the bootloader via unlocker.
Whenever I try to install TWRP recovery, The recovery doesn't load up and the device restarts.
I have tried 2870 and 3000. nothing works.
Flashed stock recovery 2.3 back so I will have a recovery on the device.
What seems to be the problem?
2. The phone's build is P7-L10V100R001C00B125.
Custom ver. CUSTC576D125
I would like to update to the latest version.
What version can I update to ? I've read so many posts and I can't understand if I can update to P7-L10C900B852 (via a full image file) for example.
Do I have to change the custom ver. or not ?
Please explain the rules about the build number and the custom ver.
Thanks in advance
J

Can someone please help?
I'm still working on it and I can't figure out the problem...

@jamses, try this method that i came up with,
Download B839 official ROM and copy it to root of your SD card to a new folder "dload"
It should look like this "/dload/UPDATE.APP"
Extract UPDATE.APP (on your computer) using Huawei Update Extractor (all files)
Go into bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
Now open command line and use ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) to send following commands to your phone:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
Now force update by turning off your phone, and turing him back on while holding all 3 buttons pressed down.
When screen comes on release the Power button but keep holding both Volume rockers pressed down until you see an EMUI logo.
If for any reason it fails to install, go back into recovery and do Wipe data/Factory Reset, and than try again.
Let us know how it went

Help - ran into trouble with my P7-L10

Hello,
After 1.5 years on B136 I've decided to move to a Lollipop rom. I've wiped my device, flashed stock recovery from B609 and wanted to force-update from sd card .... and device didn't boot into recovery at all.
So far the only recovery that works for me is TWRP, but I can't flash stock roms with it. When I flash (with fastboot) a stock recovery (doesn't matter which, I;ve tried B133Sp01, B136, B609, B852), my device goes into bootloop or just reboots while in the recovery.
I need to rescue my phone now.
Any ideas... ?
This is as far as I get:
Extracted cust / boot / recovery and system from B136 and flashed them with fastboot.
Device reboots, shows Huawei logo, plays animation and sound. After a while - it reboots and goes into recovery.
Recovery is in chinese.
Device stays in recovery for a few seconds then reboots itself.
And on and on....
Does anyone have any clue why this device keeps rebooting itself all the time?
Update:
Since TWRP was working for me, I've tried couple custom roms. Results:
TWRP + material one test rom: flashed fine, got boot screen, got boot animation.... device reboots. After second reboot goes into recovery.
TWRP + B609 test port: same as above.
What can it be that makes my device reboot over and over again, even when in recovery?
I'm out of ideas. Please help.
Thanks.

@GawDroid, try my method,
Download B852 official ROM and copy it to root of your SD card to a new folder "dload"

Okay, I did exactly this today:
Extracted boot and recovery from B852 update.app
Flashed both with fastboot
Put dload/update.app on sd card
Started phone in force update mode (vol +, vol -, power)
Phone shows "Huawei Ascend" logo for 30 seconds and shuts down.
I cannot enter recovery either. Phone does the same as above (huawei screen, shutdown).
I have never had an EMUI 3 rom installed before, maybe that's why this recovery can't start? Just guessing...

This is how I did it. First boot.img, then recovery.img, then tried to update.

Up. Any ideas why it keeps rebooting regardless of ROM, or even in recovery?
