[SOLVED] Help - Soft Brick :) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Devs,
I am assuming that I soft bricked my ATT HTC M7 today. I actually did the following
1. Unlocked Bootloader though HTCDev - Successful
2. Installed SuperUser - Successful (Failed as the partition has been completely wiped off)
3. S -off - Biggest mistake - Didn't do.
4. Recovery - Successful (twrp, Philz and CWM) worked fine, currently have Philz.
5. Tried RUU, but the version doesn't match with the version of existing image in the device. Gives an error)
6. Assuming, the data in the device is only the recovery and the boot loader. Also, all the recoveries have been accidentally wiped off.
7. Tried Side-Load, (confused - if I used wrong kernel, so the ROM installs, but never past the HTC logo screen).
Please suggest any of your valuable advices or atleast a link or thread to exact RUU of 5.12.502.2 (ATT, Stock)... I don't know what I'm doing...Please help ad your help will be greatly appreciated.:

you are likely using a wrong recovery version for the ROM you are flashing, most ROMs prefer TWRP 2.6.3.3, 2.8.0.0 or 2.8.0.1 (eg ARHD82 will not flash with twrp 2.8.0.2)
flash correct recovery (depending on the ROM), and install it
check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
for more information
post back here, if you have further questions

There is no ruu for 5.12.502.2 but if you want to go back to stock, there is reset rom made by clsA that match your version here: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_5-12-502-2_clsa-zip/
flash like a rom, following instructions from nkk71 above.

So Do you think will it work? If yes, could you please walk me through??? Thanks so much!! Also, do I need to S -off to install a custom recovery? If yes, Is there a way I can flash it on recovery mode as my mobile do not have an OS right now..thanks again

i realize you may be having a hard time, so my sincerest apologies for giving you an even more hard time
provided the hardware is not messed up, everything will be fine, you just need:
proper ROM (ie md5 checks out)
correct recovery for whatever rom you want to install
a little patience (first clean flah for a HTC Sense based ROM can take "almost" 20 mins)

Deleted files return on boot

Hi all, just purchased an HTC one and rooted following some instructions via an xda video.
The phone is confirmed rooted s-on (via root checker) and has super su installed. Now the phone came only with some O2 hideous bootanimation and downanimation and I wanted to remove them. Installed root browser and deleted the .zip files from system/customise/resources and restarted to confirm. When turning off, the animation isnt there, but upon restart the animations return, together with the files deleted previously. Any ideas what can I do to leave these files permanently deleted?
thx

I use ElementalX, a lot of guys on here do, and flash it in recovery, twrp 2.6.3.3 its recommended, I know there is newer versions on that site ive linked below, but use 2.6.3.3 as its the most compatible.
TWRP 2.6.3.3. can be found here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
ElementalX here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249774
make sure you do a full back-up beore flashing anything, bootloader must be unlocked, and select the correct kernel as per your phone sense and rom version, found in settings, about phone.

your android version is over a year old .. where did you find a kernel that supports 4.1.2 ?
you have to reflash your rom to overwrite the bogus kernel
you should also at this time update your custom recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.0 if your on Sprint
@patelkd007
ok first of all:
Never change a Kernel without being entirely sure that 1) it's for the device 2) it works with the OS 3) it is know to be working on sys configs like yours.
In order for me to help you please provice the following things:
> Link to Kernel you downloaded
> Link to OS you have previously installed if it isn't stock
Remember to quote or mention me to get an answer!
Most likely you won't be able to save your old ROM. But hey, give me the infos and I'll take a look into that. Maybe check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632736 and read through the part "Bootloop, No OS, Totally f*cked up OS? No Problem"
I have a tool that can save automatically your SD Card to your pc. So your data won't be lost!

Once you have ARHD on the phone try moonshine or rumrunner again. Firewater may also work to s-off your phone.

you may have gotten a blackscreen because you didn't wipe your phone properly. It's about the same as @clsA wrote. But it's a bit more step for step. The recovery seems to be working. The ROM he gave you seems to be ok, you just need to MD5 check it with this tool here (compare with md5 given on the download page): http://download.cnet.com/MD5-Checker/3000-2092_4-10410639.html
Bootloop, No OS, Totally f*cked up OS? No Problem​​
THIS WILL DELETA ALL YOUR APPS AND APP DATA BUT NOT SDCARD!​
First of all, make a factory reset in TWRP... then follow the next steps.
Now the key step here copying the rom.zip to your sdcard. You do this this way
Since you are in the recovery you should be able, no.. actually will be able to use adb commands
To copy the rom zip us this command:
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /sdcard/rom.zip
If this one results in supersu and permission errors, try these paths(Thanks @Sneakyghost for this advice!)
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /storage/emulated/0/rom.zip
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /data/media/0/rom.zip
Now, in the recovery, choose install and select the rom you should've just copied and install/flash it.
After that make a factory reset, the standart when chosing wipe in TWRP.
Happy rebooting!

(SOLVED)My one only boots to recovery (TWRP) after installing custom rom

Hi guys I really need your help.
Basically any rom I run ( via adb sideload or adb push and then install zip) will not work. I get into the aroma (usually) installer and after that is finished I usually get "successfull" but with the exception of "Set_metadata_recursive - some changes failed". After that I have tried a) reboot to system b) wipe cache, dalvik - then reboot c) wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset - then reboot. And pretty much all possible variations of this.
I have tried a few roms like Android revolution HD 84 & 90, Maximus HD same story, one google play edition and some others. I can't figure out wich stock rom I should choose because there are so many to choose from, the CID and MID subjects always gets my confused and I have HBOOT 1.57 ( I should tell you I have s-on)
I can't seem to find anyone/any thread/guide that explaines exactly this problem even with hours and hours going into searching.
My bootloader info:
UNLOCKED
m7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.57.000
OS-6.09.401.11
Nov 14 2014, 22:08:05.0 (what's this)
I hope to good there is a solution to this even if I'm not that religous. I would very much appriciate some help from you experts.
forgot to mention: I am almost 100% sure I have superSU and root access (after installing it before and later opening the UPDATE-SuperSU-v.2.45.zip in install zip via TWRP but I do often get the "SuperSU does not seem to be installed" message when rebooting after install. note: I have used the "swiped to install" option and I have also not used it.

[Stock Rom] Huawei *Prague* PRA-xxxC432B182

[Stock Rom] Huawei (Prague) PRA-xxxC432B182
For restoring/ rescue your device.​P8 Lite 2017 - PRA-LX1, LX2, LX3, LA-1
P9 Lite 2017
Nova Lite
Honor 8 Youth
Created and tested on this device:
Huawei P8 lite 2017 [PRAGUE]
Model number: PRA-LX1
Build number: PRA-LX1C432B182
free device
The PRA is extrem sensitiv.
Any unconsidered, unofficial intervention, don't forgive it.
Hundreds of users have already "bricked" their device.
The response to the dealers is enormous.
To restore your devices,
I'll provide a complete rom.
It is 100% functional and rooted with SuperSu.
It is to be applied to the device via TWRP restoring.
But it is also suitable for this purpose without an OTA update,
to get the current firmware.
Be sure to read the following instructions carefully.
You're doing it at your own risk!
Rom installation:
In the download folder:
2017-12-30-PRAstockB182root (zip)
there are 26 backup files compressed as Zip files.
After downloading, unpack all files individually into this directory. Then delete all zip's. Now copy the whole directory to your TWRP backup folder. Where your other backups are.
Now flash the stock recovery and perform a factoryreset.
Now flash TWRP and make a wipe of the data and system partitions in TWRP.
Then restore my backup and reboot.
The firmware and the kernel are already rooted.
If necessary, you can install Busybox.
If the device does not boot, the bootloader must be unlocked again with the Huawei unlockcode.
It is a little bit more work for you to unpack everything individually, but this way a faultless installation is possible.
I have tested the up- and download, unpacking and restoring several times. It works perfectly. The rom is bug free.
Now create a new TWRP backup
and remove all older backups from the TWRP backup folder, otherwise they could cause problems later.
Save it to another folder or to
USB-/Stick, or HD.​
I would now like to make a few comments on the end of the year:
I've had the P8 lite 2017 for a year.
The first rooting was developed by me.
The SuperSu and the first rooted kernel,
enabled the developers
@Tecalote and KangVip.
TWRP was provided by the LineageOS team. Again and again I have added fresh rootings and roms.
Nevertheless, increased Bricks are not missing.
It took an enormous amount of time to find
help the users. Unfortunately, this didn't work out for everyone.
My recommendation:
Now set up your device completely. Then create a complete backup with the ingenious Huawei Backup App. Now you take the recovery back.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery. img"
Removes TWRP from your brain for the time being.
Your device is now perfect and the firmware is original. You also have root and the OTA update authorization. When OREO comes, you just wait until I announce the new rooting."
I wish you all the best for 2018.
WARNING !
If all this has worked on my device, it does not mean that it goes with everyone else. Follow exactly the instructions to prevent damage. The execution is your risk.
Never make a factory reset in TWRP. Brick !!! Wipes only in stock recovery.
NOTE: Despite careful preparation I can not guarantee that through the implementation of this Guidance does not create damage to the device or operating system, and therefore assume no liability for ensuing damage and malfunction of hardware and software! If you are still unsure, follow these steps: Only perform the procedure if any mentioned conditions (model number, Android version, etc.) apply to you or your device. Read the instructions carefully and completely, check unfamiliar terminology by google or xda. Downloaded files check for viruses. A backup of important settings and data make. The instructions do not perform, if you do not know what you're doing.
Thank you very much: @Tecalote, KangVip,Chainfire, Stephen (Stericson), Jmz Software, LinageOs team, JRummy, as well as.
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Update 2017-12-31:
I removed the part "dual recovery".
The support on xda is finished.
Only here:
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/huawei-p8-lite-2017.2980/​
I couldn't restore my phone. I followed all of your instructions and after restoring, when I reboot, the phone goes only in TWRP (no volume keys pressed). Any ideas on what I can do?
In any case thank you for the thread, it's good to have a well described procedure for these things
Restore your last backup and repeat the procedure.
Try this one first:
Root again with the SU (B182) from the download.
Tip for life: try not to trust random nerds on forums, offering "ROMs" and what they call "tutorials". Stick to the outlet which sold you the phone, and deal with them and/or the manufacturer, and you can't go far wrong.

I had the same situation. It's a bit tricky and you must really know, what you are doing
I rebooted to bootloader an repeated the oem unlock -> this caused a factory reset!!
I am on dual recovery and so I rebooted to twrp, repeated the restore with the b182 stock rom and could reboot to the system

I had the same situation. It's a bit tricky and you must really know, what you are doing
I rebooted to bootloader an repeated the oem unlock -> this caused a factory reset!!
I am on dual recovery and so I rebooted to twrp, repeated the restore with the b182 stock rom and could reboot to the system

UPDATE: I solved in another way, which is: booted to fastboot mode, restored the stock recoveries (recovery1 to recovery1, erecovery to recovery2), then the phone booted normally as it should have had. At that point I could reflash twrp to recovery1, but that is optional.
I think the phone tried to boot but having the wrong recovery in recovery2 slot caused problems (just a random hypothesis). Hope this helps

What you call erecocery is this the stock erecovery or is it prague311.img from ChinHon? If it is the stock erecovery, where can I find it for download?
Thanks a lot!

Hello!
I want to follow this guide, it should be fine for my Dual SIM Variant, right?
I have a problem with one file, that is 'version.emmc.win.md5.zip' that can't be downloaded from MEGA. Can someone please provide a working link for that file?
Also a doubt: when all the files will be ready my idea is to restore your TWRP backup, flash stock recovery then lock bootloader, to make it as near to stock as possible: will this work? I have another TWRP backup that is running on my phone, but if I lock the bootloader it won't start, if I unlock the bootloader there no problems at all.
Thanks for your interesting topic!

I can now give this stock ROM a try!
EDIT 1: I'm trying to install the ROM but I have a problem with TWRP: I launch the command 'fastboot flash recovery prague311.img' then boot to TWRP, but the touchsceen of the phone is unresponsive and I can't do anything to make it work. Have you got any suggestion?
EDIT 2: I made some mistakes here and there, but the TWRP booted and now I have the phone on your ROM Version! I'm trying to clean everything and do a clean install if I can...
EDIT 3: I've done a full phone clean by using the 'Factory Reset' option in 'Settings'... now the phone boots, but:
1. NFC/GPS are not working, they are blinking
2. FM Radio is not working (it says com.huawei.... and has an Android icon instead of the original icon)

To get the rom completely clean you do the following:
Go to my root thread section: Threadupdate: 2018-01-02 and work through the instructions. Then you have a perfect clean stock rom.

Your support is very helpful, thanks!
I have problems on the steps to reproduce, even after reading your guide :')
This is what I do:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe cache with stock recovery
2. Flash TWRP
3. Open TWRP, clean data, system and also cache + dalvik
4. Reboot the phone to a fully working with B182, in English with Dual SIM fully recognised
5. What I have to do from now on to have a fully stock experience (remove custom Kernel, reflash stock recovery and erecover, re-lock bootloader and fully ready to Oreo)?
Can you please guide me?
Thanks and sorry for my problems, but I work with Nexus devices thare a bit more 'elastic' in flashing
The kernel is stock. You just have to flash the eRecovery and recovery. That's all.

Ok, thanks!
This is what I did before, but I can't do a factory reset due to the problems described (Radio FM not working, NFC not working).
I can't also relock the bootloader, because the phone will boot to erecovery (recovery2) and won't let me reach the boot of the ROM. Have you got any suggestion?
If leave it as it is now (unlocked bootloader with stock recovery1 and recovery2) will Oreo arrive without any problems?
Your support is awesome, thanks
If you now take my UPDATE.APP via dload the problems should be gone.

If I flash the stock recovery, then update officially with an UPDATE.APP from SD Card everything should be ok.

Stuck in Fastboot Mode / TWRP without OS

Hello people,
I have an OnePlus 3T, which does not start the OS. I can open Fastboot Mode or TWRP. I do not even know which OS is installed (I think stock rom, but do not know). When I boot into Fastboot, I get the dm-verity notification "Phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted". When I boot into system, it stops at the black "Powered by android" Screen (very first screen).
When I connect my phone to the PC and open the internal storage, it shows only the "TWRP" folder.
So what Information do I have so far (with my amateur knowledge):
adb shell getprop ...
ro.build.version.release: 6.0.1
ro.build.version.sdk: 23
ro.build.display.id: omni_oneplus3-eng 6.0.1 MOB31K eng.jc.20170208.012427 test-keys
ro.modversion: OmniROM-6.0.1-20170208-oneplus3-HOMEMADE
ro.twrp.version: 3.0.4-1
When I start the bootloader:
Product_Name - msm8996
Variant - MTP UFS
Bootloader Version -
Baseband Version -
Serial Number - *****
Secure Boot - enabled
Device State - unlocked
I tried to reflash the original recovery => device did not start in recovery anymore => reflashed twrp
I tried to flash the stock ROM => did not work (with this Error 7)
So my first question: Which OS do I have? Really Marshmallow 6.0.1?
Second: Do you need more infos?
Third and most important: How to repair this mess?
What do I want: A stable, rooted ROM. It can be the stock ROM, but also a custom, I do not care right now.
I read that this unlocked-notification appears because I have the wrong kernel? Is that true? Which one do I need?
Thank you very much for your help.
Use ADB Sideload to Sideload a ROM onto the phone since you have TWRP working. It's not a huge problem, and it's easily solvable.
*OR* you can use the Unbrick tool to solve your problem.

Thank you for your reply.
Okay so it is not important which system I run right now? And what about this kernel thing?
I can just flash it with sideload (e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...pment/rom-kernel-resurrectionremix-n-t3524715) and finished? Rooted and particularly working?
Sorry for the questions but I am a little nervous

You may want to Sideload the latest Firmware too, Open Beta 21 that is. And then Sideload a Nougat ROM. Don't sideload any GAPPs.

Nope, that's the complete stock Zip. Unless you want to install OOS, that's not the one to Sideload.
Download the FW only from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/firmware-beta-10-t3631166
And then Sideload it, reboot back to recovery, and then Sideload the ROM.

What is in the TWRP folder, anything? The TWRP folder would normally only be created, if a backup was created. You can possibly just boot TWRP, select the RESTORE option, select the backup from the TWRP folder, and get the phone up and running again.
Another possibility, if you aren't that up on adb commands (sideload, etc.), since you can access the internal storage, just download a ROM or fill stock ROM zip onto your PC, then just drag/copy to internal storage. Then boot TWRP, select INSTALL, pick the file, and flash it.
What is the background of the device, how do you not know the OS version? Did you receive it this way, or fixing it for a friend or something?

That isn't the dm-verity notification. The dm-verity notification screen is similar, but says "dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode".
What you described is the bootloader unlocked warning screen. The bootloader unlocked warning screen is expected and normal (in fact, unavoidable) if the bootloader is unlocked. And unlocked bootloader is required for TWRP, flashing custom ROMs, etc.
dm-verity warning screen is in fact normal, as well, if you have TWRP installed. That one can be disabled by a couple different methods. But it's only purpose is to notify a "average" user that the system has been modified. For XDA users that are intentionally modifying their phones (TWRP, root, etc.) the warning is pretty meaningless. Under certain conditions, dm-verity will prevent the phone from booting. But TWRP and root in themselves, will normally not do that.
Neither warning means you have the wrong kernel, necessarily. And unless you (or someone else) tried to flash a kernel, there really isn't any reason to believe that.

Flashing stock recovery will (by definition) replace TWRP with stock recovery. You probably have recovery, just the stock one (not TWRP) which is fairly useless in your case (can't flash custom ROMs, root, etc.).

Can't really troubleshoot this, unless you tell us what file exactly (file name) and where you got it from. "Stock ROM" is far too vague, and can literally mean a dozen or more different things.
Also, what version TWRP?
Using a TWRP version which does not support Oreo is one reason for Error 7. Or you may have tried a file intended for the 3, not the 3T. So these details need to be provided, before we can figure out what went wrong.
elchico92 said:

Click to expand...

You kind of need to decide which of those you want. Otherwise, there are just too many options for us to give.
Yet another option (in addition to those given) would be to flash the full stock OOS zip from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119
Then before rebooting, flash Magisk to root, and you should be all set. The full zip will put you on a fully stock baseline (including firmware). Which, if you aren't sure if you want stock, beta or custom ROM, is not a bad place to be; you can see what the "stock" condition is, before messing with things like custom ROMs. But again, it's totally subjective and a matter of personal preference, and you really do need to decide for yourself what is best for you (as an individual) at this time.

Why not just sideload stock ROM which includes the firmware? Make life easier

Yeah, that is a good option, among many. As I mentioned, there are just too many options since the original poster hasn't even decided stock or custom ROM.

Since OP hasn't mentioned whether he wants to use a stock or custom ROM. So I gave him the link for the latest FW, in case he wants to use a recently updated custom ROM without needing to download the whole Stock zip.
Done!
Thanks a lot. The phone is working again.
I have flashed with adb sideload the firmware and the ResurrectionRemix-Rom (Nougat) and then via TWRP the gapps.
So I hope, everthing will be fine now.
answers:
- TWRP-folder: yeah I created one because I thought, maybe to restore will fix anything
- I tried to flash with TWRP a ROM, but it says "Error 7", which means: wrong ROM => but I am sure, it was the right one
- background: it was the phone of a friend of mine => he never heard anything about ROMs etc

I already offered to troubleshoot this error for your, but you never supplied the requested info. Don't assume it is the "right one" next time, but rather, give exact file names, version numbers, and let us verify. Mistakes happen, and it always is good to have another set of eyes look at the specifics.

I'm stuck in Fastboot Mode & TWRP without OS
I everyone,
Like the title say I'm totally stuck, I don't know what to do ....
I've got a OnePlus 3T few years ago, and the first thing i did at the installation was to encrypt the phone with an option of oxygen OS, and after that i unlock the oem and add root access.
But when oneplus release a major update, there was issues with phone encrypted and unlock, for that I never could make an update of the OS, so I did try to install the lastest lineage os recently, and add an "error 7".
After reading a lot of stuff and try a lot of manupilations, i'm now totally stuck with only access to the fastboot, twrp, and the recovery of oneplus.
If someone here could help me, you will be very gratefull because i can't afford to buy a new phone for the moment... thank's

This should get you back to OOS:
In TWRP:
1. Do a factory reset
2. Flash OOS 9.0.6 full rom
3. Flash this modified firmware (to avoid the issue 9.0.6 with encrypted+unlocked) https://github.com/nvertigo/firmwar...3t/oxygenos-9.0.6-bl-km-5.0.8-firmware-3T.zip (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...5-0-8-firmware-barrier-t3941164/post79758055)
4. Reboot
This should leave you with a clean install of OOS 9.0.6 and an encrypted phone with the stock recovery (TWRP gets replaced when you boot stock OOS).
From that point you can do what you want.

OK, that's a little crazy but it's working, i've got a one plus 3T A3003, but i had to install Stable9.0.3+Firmware+Modem_OnePlus3.zip and not the one for the 3T ..... then install the last lineage os 17, and everything seems to work for now !!!
