[Q] OTA upgrade issues

Hi All,
I have a Spice MI 498 handset. I have unlocked boot loader, installed Philz recovery. For OTA update to 5.1, I had to go back to stock recovery as there was an error message when Philz was running. Once the update completes, my IMEI numbers disappeared and I was unable to recover it through any of the methods. As per another users experience, I did a factory reset and upon rebooting touch stops working. Has anybody faced this issue and what should be the approach that I need to take to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Ram

Factory reset usually doesn't work with problems like that. Flash the stock kitkat for your phone with SP Flash Tool (search the forum for a tutorial). That'll fix it. BTW. what OTA did you flash? (LMY47O. LMY47I etc.) I've flashed LMY47O OTA with TWRP recovery and it flashed without a problem. Did you wiped anything on your phone before or after flashing the OTA?

Hi,
I have LMYF7O installed via OTA method. I had not wiped anything on my phone before flashing the OTA. I managed to get back my phone working after I found out the reason for this missing touch. I just called my mobile number from another number and found that touch was actually working. So once that was done, I came out of the installer/registration mode and everything worked fine. Now getting all the data restored including sms, applications etc.
Thanks for the help.

Recovery (TW) broken

So I've messed up recovery on my phone, I should add it works completely fine right now.
Previously I've rooted it and installed TeamWin onto it. One day last year, Android was bugging me to update. I clicked yes and didn't realise it won't update because I've rooted and installed TeamWinReceoveryProject (TWRP). So the update failed and I thought nothing of it.
So the other day I wanted to make a backup of my phone and tried to get into TWRP only I go into fastboot now and when I select recovery it just reboots. Anyway I can fix this so I have TWRP back?
Model: Moto G XT1072

Did you tried just flash recovery again?

Is your phone still rooted? If so just download "rashr-flash tool" by Aschot Mkrtchyan from the play store and use this app to flash the TWRP img file.

Please help unbrick my phone

I have bricked my phone after Magisk install fail.
I first unlocked bootloader succesfully
then i installed twrp succesfully
then i flashed magisk using twrp - this failed and sent device to erecovery. (which won't find package)
i used twrp to wipe data, now i was able to boot, and it installed like a fresh EMUI. However, almost all apps were broken- could not download themes/camera shut down etc.
To fix this, i wanted to restore to stock and did the following: download update package for my VTR-L09 of EMUI b175 (I was on b162 before), used Huawei Update Extractor to extract files and flashed BOOT.IMG, SYSTEM.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG. This was done without error.
Now my phone won't boot at all. I am stuck at the 'your device can't be trusted' screen. I cannot go into recovery. When I connect via USB, I hear the chime in Windows but I can't seem to connect with ADB.
What to do now?? Am I hard-bricked? I hope that anyone knows how to deal with my phone bricked like this. Please help me to solve this issue.
Best of wishes.
Edit: I am able to enter forced recovery, however updates fail at 5%.
I am also able to fastboot with USB, however I am unsure what to do next.

I unbricked my phone! Many thanks to who ah way and his solution found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-unbricking-p10-using-hwota-windows-t3714416
:victory:

why are you doing it when you dont understand it?
You cannot flash part of B175 firmwar eover B162 firmware.. OMG.
use the HWOTa to go back to stock and please stop playing with the device without propper knowledge

[REQUEST] Need MIUI10 Stock Partition Files

Hello,
I was trying to restore my imei today on my MI9 MIUI10 device. After I restarted, the phone restarted into recovery. The device is rooted and TWRP is installed. I think I should flash modem files and I don't know where to find them. Or what else should I do?
