Help - Ascend P7-L10 Locked Soft Bricked

Hi there,
recently, I tried updating my phone to B609, following a certain website's guide.
and upon finishing it, it showed the following attachment.
I have tried following almost all I can to revert it, but sadly, it does not work. and, it was a very stupid decision of me to try and update it, full-knowingly that I have a rather obsolete knowledge regarding this.
Can someone please help me, I am really sorry to have bothered the visitors of this forum, and if my thread is not in it's place, please guide me to find a proper place to help me with my phone.
Thank you

Please wait confirmation from more experienced users than me but what I would have done if I were you:
1 - Try to unlock the bootloader. For that there are tutorials here in XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-p7-l10-oem-t3062851
2 - With unlocked bootloader you should be able to flash a new rom!
Hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply friend. I really appreciate it.
Regarding the unlock bootloader, following the tutorial that you have greatly linked to, it says in one of the step it to select a device. But, I did not see any mention of Ascend P7, or for that matter, I'm not aware of another given name for Ascend P7, so, which one should I choose or any selected device would be fine?
Thank you again for taking time to help me. Much appreciated.

As it is said in the tutorial you should modify the values of the list in order to include our phone model (step 3 and following...).

I didn't think of that... I'm sure part of that info is available in the phone case but can't ensure that everything is there...
By the way I've never tried a JIG so any feedback on it would be nice!

Hi,
i guess you have to unlock your bootloader per dload again. You can force an local update by pressing power and volume plus/minus at the same time.
Is the bootloader unlocking local update based on emui2.3? If so, you'd had to downgrade to emui 2.3 (B1xx).
To do so: Flash the downgrade packages(B8xx) first, after that the full rom(B6xx) , then the next downgrade package(B6xx) and the next rom(B1xx).
Probably your phone will boot after the first full rom flash. If it does, you could get the numbers you need, and unlock per fastboot.

Yes, you could just put the update file into a folder named 'dload' in the root directory of your sd card.

You could try to boot to recovery pressing power and volume-. Does the battery charge then? I'd try myself, but my mum got my P7.. If it doesn't work you may try this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084. And if that all fails you could purchase a new battery as your final option.
Please don't try to charge your phone externally. Handling with LiOn-batterys without knowing exactly what you do could be quite dangerous.

It's a known issue with some device models. The device reports it's unlocked but in reality it isn't. Perform the normal unlock steps to unlock your boot loader despite it reports it unlocked.

So you can't even start your device i.e. it doesn't even reaches the pre-boot screen (the Honor logo). You should have never ever flashed fastboot image. If your device reaches Honor logo, then bootloader is fine and fastboot should work but if that isn't the case, you have screwed it up big time. Still do reply back, we'll see what we can do

jtag Box needs to be coupled with Bootloader flashing tool and the necessary bootloader files. Since none of them are available, you are in a pretty hard spot.

No my bro.it's Dead.you should change your mobile mother board with another honor 4x(it's expensive) or you should find a programed EMMC that exactly is for che-tl00h(almost hard to find for this model) or sell your hard bricked phone(best way like my way). Of course you can find your dump files and give them to a technician for flashing on a unprogramed EMMC,but I know you can not find dump files for this model easily.
This is a real experience for focusing on model of the phone that we purchase for next shopping.
We should just buy a Global released model,not a china model.

Problems with Honor 4x

Sir,
I own a honor 4x and I have been using this device happily from last February 2016.But suddenly ,some days ago, as I was using it, it suddenly switched off and even though the battery on the device was full, I tried to power on. it switched on and then came the honor logo and then suddenly switched off and then automatically this process repeated.
Now I'm not able to use my smartphone. Kindly help me. Moreover there is no honor service center in our area (silchar).
Is there a way to install the running software version (lollipop) in this phone. If yes then please inform the details. I'll be able to do it.
If you could help me solve this problem then I'll be very thankful to you.

[SOLVED] Mi 9 bricked after latest MIUI 11. Help me please.

EDIT: Solved, check latest post. (#28)
My Mi 9 bricked after i flashed the MIUI 11 beta (9.9.24), then with MiFlash, flashed back to Global (i have unlocked the bootloader)
Now the phone is in this state:
- Screen black, no signal to anything, no LED turns on
- Cannot boot to System, Fastboot, Recovery, or EDL
- Does not react to any button combination (Tried with/without charger, power button holding for 1 min, etc.) Guess i'm f-ed
Can someone help me please? :/

I'm not an expert but if you phone don't event turn on, how you expect someone to help you? The only one who can help you it's a service or a repair lab. I don't think that the problem is in software.

As far as i know Mi 9 cepheus doesn't have rollback protection.... Maybe this miui 11 beta has, and i didn't know.
EDIT: It does not have any ARB... I did something wrong but dunno what

You can try to unlock again with Mi Unlock tool. Helped in my case which was different from yours though. But you've got nothing to lose anyhow.

You need to open back cover, find EDL testpoint pins and flash full ROM through MiFlash.
If you dont have authorized Mi account for EDL flash, find someone who have it.

If you can go under the device manager and see if there is a usb device connecting? It may be in Snapdragon's flash mode. If it is, you need to find someone with a privledged account or goto the mi store.

Can you dubbelcheck the rom you tried to flash? Make sure its really for MI9? This kind of trouble most of the time happens when flashing a rom for another phone. Like MI9T or something.

Yes it was cepheus_global_images_V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM_20190709.0000.00_9.0_global. I followed every instruction for flashing with MiFlash tool....

I had a similar problem when I received the phone, I couldn't start it right out of the box, it's certainly not the same problem but I waited a few hours and then I had the idea to boot it in fastboot and when I restarted it, it worked

I heard that I can only flash IMEI 2 back to it, and if I want flashing IMEI 1 as well I'd need to install a custom rom on the phone. So if that's a solution I'd love if someone could help me with it. MIUI 13 is slow and laggy af (which is the reason I bricked the phone in the first place, to install a better ROM).
But here's something, when I flash the phone's firmware through fastboot, issues start to rise (as per my experience with it so far), but through SP Flash Tool, it's alright. So I'd love to know if installing custom ROMs using the tool would be alright, if not then if recovery is required or if fastboot is fit for the job. If that's an issue I'd love if someone could give me advice when it comes to it.
Old post 1: (not my current situation)
"Long story short, I bricked the phone and after months, I've finally been able to repair it (downgraded from MIUI 13 to MIUI 11), but I lost my IMEI. I have the phone's two IMEI numbers, but I could not find any tool to help me write it to the phone. Either that, or I don't know whether the phone should be turned on or off, or if there's any special mode that's required for that matter.
Help would really be appreciated."
Old post 2:
"It happened after manually installing engineering ROM on it, now I can only doubt it's BROM mode that's working and nothing else, but I'm not sure. SP Flash Tool doesn't want to work with the phone since I want to flash the stock rom back. I really need help please."

Install Engineering ROM and then write imei using available tools.

I fear that if I install the ROM, the phone might brick again

Why?

The reason why my phone broke in the first place was due to flashing a misc.bin file after following a YouTube tutorial. It was part of a process to download twrp on the phone unofficially. Since then I started looking for ways to fix it until I finally found a post that had to do with fixing nvdata corruption (which was the error I had prior to fixing the phone) which helped.
So yeah, I don't think I can trust flashing ROMs on my phone as much as before, but I'll still try the engineering ROM thing.

So um...it bricked. This time worse than before. It doesn't turn on at all no matter how long I press the power button. It was after I manually flashed eng rom.

Does it shows up in device manager?

Yep, it doesn't show up as it's name or "Android", it shows up as MediaTek USB Port (COM3), that's why I doubted it to be in BROM mode.

By the way, after trying to connect to it using mtkclient, I got this error:
DeviceClass - [LIB]: ←[31mCouldn't get device configuration.←[0m

Hold on, it worked now for some reason when I disconnected the battery, but it keeps connecting and disconnecting so that's an issue.
I'll try to reconnect the battery and see.

Bro, thank you so much, the phone's unbricked now. I couldn't believe my eyes
But for now, is there any solution for the IMEI problem?

I always recommend a NV Backup before messing up with your own device, that's all I know.
Download the file attached here but remember you can fix only second IMEI using this method. Please don't try to fix both IMEI or NV Data will be corrupted again.

The guy in the video is using MIUI 12, I have MIUI 13. I don't know if that's an issue but someone in the comments said something about MIUI or so. I'm not a professional but many times when I see tutorials they're very specific with the MIUI version.
Also, I'm not sure how to back up nv data, do I use mtkclient or is it somewhere in the attachment you sent me?
And one more thing, my phone's baseband version is unknown, could that affect the process?

You don't need the backup anymore and you can follow the tutorial in the video irrespective of the MIUI version you have.
I have also attached the files that are used in the video.

The phone keeps rebooting when connecting it to Maui META. Like it shows META MODE at the bottom of the screen but then it turns off. Now it's bootlooping. I guess I'll have to flash MIUI on it again. At least I still have access to fastboot and recovery.
Update: NV Data corrupted after flashing MIUI, but I got a solution that hopefully works.
Update 2: After flashing MIUI 11 (along with some other nvdata and nvram files, i think they're just empty), it works now and the error is gone. But as I said IMEI issue's still there. Maybe I would need engineering ROM for this one? Although it bricked my phone before.
Also, the phone started bootlooping before attempting the Maui META thing, so maybe it's either the manual formatting of partitions or the files I flashed on it.

Try flashing the ENG rom and try fixing your IMEI

So I ran into another issue. it tells me I need "exaid-verified.img" and that verified boot is enabled, which is not present in the ENG ROM folder.

Btw one more thing, I can update my phone right? Like, it won't break my phone? I'm good with MIUI 11 but I wonder if updating it would fix baseband version.
