Hi, well it looks like i have probably hard bricked my phone. After updating to nougat i decided to do afresh clean install. I wanted my phone to as if i had just bought it and came with nougat/emui 5 installed. So i did a factory reset from within the settings menu. But then i thought i would completely erase everything and start from the latest build before nougat, so emui 4.1.2/ marshmallow. So after wiping all the partitions in twrp and then doing a volume up + power to do complete factory wipe followed by using the three button method to install the B130 UPDATE.APP in dload folder on my sdcard, all worked as expected. The update completed at 100% and then rebooted. So there i am waiting for my phone to boot to start the setup process as i have done dozens of times before...BUT...my phone will not boot to the initial setup wizard. It just stays stuck on the Honor logo pulsing animation for ever and ever and ever!!!!!!
So i do the volume up + power button to get to stock recovery and do factory wipe and cache wipe as well. It works as expected so i reboot and once again use the 3 button method to install the update.app on my sdcard. That works as expected and at 100% says its succeeded and reboots. Once again i wait for it to boot to the initial setup wizard but....ALAS...it stays on that DAMN pulsing Honor logo. Ive tried rebooting it several times, redoing the factory wipe and install several times, but nothing. Ive gone into fastboot mode (volume down + power) to try and flash the boot.img and system.img ive extracted from update.app but get the error message -- remote: command failed -- and the same if i try to unlock bootloader. Obviously its not going to work because my bootloader isnt unlocked and nor can i got in to developer settings to enable oem unlock and turn USB debugging on because my phone wont boot past that bloody honor logo.
The only thing i havent done yet is to use eRecovery but i dont have broadband and i doesnt seem to work over public wifi! So i will go to my friends tomorrow and use their broadband and hopefullly eRecovery will download/restore the latest firmware. The only other thing i can think of is to download the original nem-l51c432B102 that came with my phone when bought, extract the update.app file and replace the B130 i have on my sdcard dload folder at present.
Sorry for such a long post but i wanted to expalin evrything in detail to hopefully resolve my problem without going backwards and forwards with questions and answers and taking for ever.
So ANYONE and EVERYONE who managed to read the whole post, if you have even the slightest idea of how to get my phone working, please oh please share it with me. Also my phone is still under warranty so if i needed to send it to a huawei centre to get it fixed would they do it and do it for free??? because eseentialy all i did was a factory wipe/reset and install a frmware and it goes KAPUT!! thats not my fault right????!!???
Thank you to one and all for any wisdom you can share. :crying::crying:

Can you please edit your post ? Add some space, here and there if you want some help... It is nothing but pain for both eyes and mind to read you.
Onto related topic, did you manage to get your phone back to a functionnal state ? Note that the boot sequence can take time after a wipe so maybe it's not broken at all.
As for eRecovery, it never helped me to restore my device, tried on two different Wi-Fi networks after two completely unrelated issues.
Concerning warranty, I guess it depends on your country and where you bought your phone. I went to the carrier which provided me mine this morning since I ended up with a strong brick last night and I'll get a new phone in a couple of weeks.

finally a reply! okay so ill edit my post once ive finished replying to you. First off thanks for taking your time to read my post, i am most greatfull. In response to your questions,suggestions i can tell you:
i went to my friends, connected to their broadband and attempted to use eRecovey to update/restore my device. ALAS it did not work! I tried several times and it gets to downloading package from server only to end in a FAIL.. I got home tried connecting to public wifi and doing eRecovery but it just fails. So like you I have never managed to get eRecovery to work.
As for the booting sequence, as i explained before, whether i access stock recovery and wipe cache and wipe phone it does this no problem, reboots, only to get stuck on the honor logo boot animation. The same goes for installing updatte.app with three button method. it says its installed succesfully but does not get past the honor logo boot animation. Unfortunately your suggestion that it might just take a long time to boot is not the case I have left it for hours you see and it never gets to the setup wizard :crying:
As for warranty, i am in uk, bought the phone via amazon, and it was unlocked, so not from a carrier like you. So i guess ill just have to find my nearest huawei service centre and have them look at it.
Does anyone know the procedure as far as doing this. Do i phone them or email my problem and then send my phone to them or what?? Any help is very welcome.
Thanks for your time and patience.
Please, please help...i'm desperate
So sorry for my original long post people, i simply wanted to give as much detail and info as possible because being vague doesnt help anyone. It seems that might have worked against me.
Please,please any suggestions would be appreciated to the N'th degree! I have tried everything i can think of and i am truly desperate now. I dont understand why i cant get it to work...
I can go into stock recovery and wipe the cach and do factory reset and that works fine, no errors.
I can hold the 3 buttons down to install the firmware package(ive got update.app from B130 build) and that works fine, gets to 100% and says 'success' and then reboots, with no errors.
But either way the phone refuses to boot past the honor logo boot animation and ive left it for hours hoping,praying, it will work after the 32nd time...
I can access fastboot but that is useless because my bootloader is not unlocked and i cant get to developer options to enable 'usb debugging' and 'oem unlock'. So i just get error message 'remote: Command Failed' with any command i type.
But thats madness, i cant comprehend why it wont boot because everything seems to work!?!
There has to be a way to get my device functioning again.
I am pulling my hair out, i am at a complete loss, it doesn't make sense. PLEASE ANYONE ..... please help....
Thanks HONOR-able enthusiasts for any help, no matter how small! :good: :fingers-crossed: :angel:

??? hi, I.m sorry, i think you must of misread some of my post. I dont blame you, it was bloody long and confusing!
I only mentioned twrp in the very beggining to run you through the steps to my never ending being stuck on honor logo boot animation. I used TWRP to wipe all partitions and format. From there i used 3 button method to install the update.app(B130) on my sd-card. this was succesfull, no errors and rebooted. I didn't expect any problems. But as i explained it never gets past boot logo.
Obviously now, twrp has gone, i am back to stock recovery and my bootloader is locked.
*I can access stock recovery to wipe cache and wipe the phone no problem and all works with no error messages.
*I can access fastboot(bootloader) but the fastboot commands are useless because my bootloader is locked once again and i cant turn on usb debugging or oem unlock in developper options....because my phone wont boot past honor logo...
*Three button method works everytime, 100% success, no errors, reboots but guess what?? IT WONT GET PAST THAT DAMN HONOR BOOT LOGO!!!!!!!!!
Ive tried everything, but NO LUCK. I came up with this idea today though--- download theB130 rollback from nougat to MarshMallow update.zip. Extract the update.app and put that in my sd-card/dload folder and do 3 button install method.
I might even do the same with the nougat B350 just to cover all bases. So i am downloading now, gonna cross my fingers and any other body parts, pray to all the gods...and hopefully i wont be a crying,sniveling,howling piece of mess by tomorrow.
UNLESS OF COURSE SOMEONE HAS THE KNOWLEDGE I SEEK AND IS WILLING TO SHARE IT :fingers-crossed:

OK, sorry for the misunderstanding. Yeah, try that and if this is still not working, I guess all you can do is try the same with other packages.

Hi all,
I have had my N1 for 1year and two weeks now (yes, warranty just expired). I was charging the device and it seemed to overheat and reboot. I unplugged it, took the battery out, let it rest for a bit and tried to boot it again. The phone now gets stuck on the X logo (not moving) and never boots.
I'm currently abroad (in the UK) and can't have it sent back for repair (I'd have to pay the repair too).
Will rooting the phone and installing an alternate OS fix my phone?
Is there any way to get HTC to honor the warranty after two weeks of expiration (I've been getting this problem for a while now, but that was only an issue if I made extensive use of the device while charging, which I almost never do so I didn't bother.)
Is there any way to fix this issue without messing with rooting? I'm abroad right now and all I want is my phone to work.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Try booting into bootloader from power off (vol- pwr) if that doesn't work then try the 3 figure salute (pwr vol- tb) your phone should boot into fastboot then just select bootloader.
If either of these work the your good you can get the static x fixed all you need to do is passimg (search wiki if you don't know what it is) as for the charging problem passimg will factory reset the phone so if that doesn't fix it then no you'll need to try rooting or it might be hardware.
Yes, I'm able to go into the bootloader.
I tried clearing the storage, choosing fastboot, etc. The phone seems to be working, just won't boot past the static X.
From your last reply, you're saying passimg has good chances to fix my phone. What does that involve? Do you have a link to a how-to that I could follow (it would really be a bad time for me to brick my phone, a good how-to would be really appreciated).
Cheers!
Yes passimg is used for many things it just reflashes a shipment ROM to the phone through bootloader. Like I said you can visit the wiki to have a how to here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_%26_Tutorials scroll down to "Unroot / Restore your Nexus" then follow the instructions. This should restore you to frg33 then you just need to update back to 2.3.4.
NOTE: this will wipe your data.
Ahh there's a way to unroot the nexus one now!
I had no idea! This is good to know (last time I checked was in December I think).
I will give that passimg a try as soon as I get home.
Can anyone confirm that this ("Attention: Latest stock ROMs don't flash using PASSIMG.ZIP method. Use the provided latest Froyo PASSIMG, and upgrade it after flashing.") means I can still reflash using this if I have the latest ROM (2.3.4) but will simply have to update again after (which I might not do given the issues I'm facing).
Cheers!
Confirmed - Dude is giving you good info... xD
Just to verify, unrooting is not the same as relocking. If you unlocked your bootloader (have a little lock symbol under the X screen), there is no way to relock it.
But the passimg is a good option. It will take you back to an older version of Android, and then you just let the system update itself.
Since you are out of your warranty, I can highly suggest looking into custom firmwares. These give you a lot more features and in many cases, perform better. CyanogenMod is probably the most popular one. These will fully replace your Android OS. CyanogenMod really doesn't even differ in look from stock all that much. Most people probably wouldn't even have a clue they are running something different, except for the stability and performance increases.
You can read up about this stuff in the wiki as well.
Oh, I see, thanks for the info.
I'm actually trying to get the FRG83 passimg file but the link is dead. Does anyone have an alternate one?
Use the FRG33 image
Alright,
I unlocked the device, used fastboot to write the recovery "Amon_Ra's Recovery".
Then I rebooted, went to the bootloader (trackball + power), went to "recovery" but the phone still gets stucked on the X (with the unlocked padlock logo).
Any advices?
Try the passimg, but it's possible that you are looking at hardware failure...

If you are still running stock Android, you can't reboot between installing the recovery and getting into it. Stock Android will replace it. Try to go back to the bootloader and select recovery then, or fastboot to load the recovery, and then use fastboot to boot off of it.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "c:\location to\recovery.img"
fastboot boot recovery "c:\location to\recovery.img"
Hopefully this will get you into Amon_RA so you can try again.
But the passimg method is used in the bootloader, not in recovery. You don't need a custom recovery to use the passimg method.
Amazing, thanks for pointing out my mistake, that give me a little bit of hope now . (I was at the point where I'd open the thing and look for a broken solder joint.)
I will try this as soon as I get home!
**Edit** I actually am not sure if I really rebooted or went straight to recovery. I'll update this thread tonight.
According to some other people, this would be a common issue with the internal memory dieing.
Is there a utility I can use to check the state of the memory?
None that I know of. Our phone internal memory uses the yaffs2 (Yet Another Flash File System v2) file system. I haven't heard of any programs that can check it.
Same situation
Hello, all. I haven't signed in on here in ages just because I've been so happy with how my Nexus has been running.
I ran into the same problem as OP stated.
I think I have some sort of hardware issue because my phone used to randomly freeze and couldn't be restarted unless I pulled the battery. Now it's at the point where I can't even turn it on because nothing happens when I press the power button or if I try to boot into recovery. This is really frustrating.
Is there any way to check for hardware damage? My warranty is over as well so I'd have to pay for any repairs to my phone if I sent it in.
If it's running, you can try to pull a log, and see what error reports you get?

Your power button might just be dead. Try having the phone plugged into a power source and removing and reinserting the battery. While you are doing that, hold the Volume Down button. This will get you into the bootloader which would allow a passimg to be performed. Hopefully your reboots aren't a hardware problem.
So , after pulling my battery, pulling the sim and the sd card, it finally turned on and went to recovery without freezing. I was able to wipe and reflash cyan 7. It's working well for now, but I'm really afraid this is going to happen again because this isn't the first time that it's just froze repeatedly.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Alright,
I did "fastboot flash recovery MYIMG" then "fastboot boot MYIMG", didn't work.
Then I tried "fastboot flash recovery MYIMG" then go to bootloader (without rebooting) and selected recovery.
Still no luck.
It always freezes on the static X logo. What else can I do? Will using passimg be any different (I don't have any way to put the file on the micro SD card but I can manage to do it if it's worth the shot).
Thanks
Hello guys. I've been constantly trying to make my P9 L09 work again after I tried out a beta of emui 5. After trying to get back to stuck a lot of times, with many different OVA's my phone has done nothing but boot into eRecovery. It says "update succesful" but then it will be in a boot loop into erecovery asking me if I want to repair through wifi. I have no idea what to do now. Since the wifi thing just fails. I've tried everything and right now I just want to back to stock. But not even Huawei's own Firmware seems to work. I am from Denmark and I was on a EU firmware B182 to start with. I did not unlock my bootloader or root anything, only updated with vol up, down and power button. I tried to get it to hard reset, but it only gives me the option to restore via. wifi.
The problem starts as soon as it has finished "Optimizing system", please help, and be careful when updating to unofficial beta! ^^
If I find a way to resolve it I will post it below!
I think your phone C432 so try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/missing-themes-compass-icons-t3519338
Upload files sd card other phone or pc, open your phone dload mode (press vol+ vol- and power button) and ok.
FIXED!
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Okay so I fixed the issue. I almost gave up, but I had installed the latest OTA from Huawei's website, and after many attempts at doing a hard reset it finally gave me the option to clear cache and reset the phone to factory. Maybe I had to time the buttons better or maybe it just sorted it self out, but now the phone is like new!
So if anybody runs into the eRecovery boot loop, be patient and try to reset it many times! It might sort itself out.
Thank you for help by the way!
I have update my rooted OP 3T by flashing the complete rom through TWRP.. But the problem is whenever I flash the Supersu version : SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815 or SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742, I am getting bootloop.
Please anyone advise me.
I checked that without flashing SuperSU phone is able to Boot safely.
Thank you in advance.
It's normal if it bootloops once or twice
But if it's more than that then it's problematic
So which one is it
Another thing you can try is try magisk root instead of supersu and see if gets the same result
Phone was stucked in bootloop for an hour without any reboot.
I am not fond of magisk yet... So dont have any plan for it.
Just want to know if this happens to only me or there are many others with same issue.
Edit:
Finally installed Magisk for root... Issue closed.
help!?

That is not the proper way to unroot (go back to stock). Relocking the bootloader while rooted was asking for trouble. There is a guide on how to return to stock in the Guides section.
Also, fastboot commands will only work while in fastboot mode, if the phone is looping, or otherwise stuck on any other screen/mode, than fastboot commands will not work. It's also a bit irrelevant, as your ability to flash anything with a locked bootloader is very limited. That's the whole purpose of a locked bootloader.
I'd start by making sure you are in fastboot, get fastboot working, and unlock the bootloader again. Then follow the proper process to return to stock.

well i tried unlocking bootloader but it says failed (remote: oem unlock not allowed)
Iam i stuck here for ever ?
can u tell me the command that i can try on an phone with a locked bootloader
I forgot this is an edit the first time Gentlemen, I am absolutely at wit's end now I am no geek with a capital G however I have been modifying phones for some 3 years now and I can't even tell you how many times I flashed ROMs my beloved 3T 3T has had been acting glitchy lately like when I would reboot the circle that turns - instead of just turning evenly it would twitch, it was such a small thing I ignored it but I think now that that's must be have been indication something was not right few other things like that. I flashed the Freedom ROM cuz I'm so sick a Google and Google Assistant when I came out I was in a bootloop so I wiped everything except OTG everything and formatted data did the ROM Flash again the a boot Loop still abides and I've done it a dozen times now sometimes a couple of times it it just it kept recycling the bootloop another time and got hung up on the OnePlus it just sat there on the logo and if I miss something obvious I do apologize I'm tired and I'm at wits end because I'm not used to not being able to solve my own problems I guess so any help at all or just even a heading in the right direction would be so much appreciated that I don't even know how to call it quantify it thank you
By the way I seldom post or even post questions but when I do I always pretty much say the same thing you guys are the best this is the one place I can come for Andrew Android advice or or guidance and I just I absolutely trust what I read so thank you thank you thank you thanks for being there
Edit - I'm so tired I forgot the first time I went to reflash the ROM it told me that my 3T was in fact not a 3T that it was a three and I read someplace so I'm XDA that that's just Corruption of the install script so I downloaded it again I ran 7-Zip it said it was coherent so I flash it again if that's important but thanks again

Hi, well it looks like i have probably hard bricked my phone. After updating to nougat i decided to do afresh clean install. I wanted my phone to as if i had just bought it and came with nougat/emui 5 installed. So i did a factory reset from within the settings menu. But then i thought i would completely erase everything and start from the latest build before nougat, so emui 4.1.2/ marshmallow. So after wiping all the partitions in twrp and then doing a volume up + power to do complete factory wipe followed by using the three button method to install the B130 UPDATE.APP in dload folder on my sdcard, all worked as expected. The update completed at 100% and then rebooted. So there i am waiting for my phone to boot to start the setup process as i have done dozens of times before...BUT...my phone will not boot to the initial setup wizard. It just stays stuck on the Honor logo pulsing animation for ever and ever and ever!!!!!!
So i do the volume up + power button to get to stock recovery and do factory wipe and cache wipe as well. It works as expected so i reboot and once again use the 3 button method to install the update.app on my sdcard. That works as expected and at 100% says its succeeded and reboots. Once again i wait for it to boot to the initial setup wizard but....ALAS...it stays on that DAMN pulsing Honor logo. Ive tried rebooting it several times, redoing the factory wipe and install several times, but nothing. Ive gone into fastboot mode (volume down + power) to try and flash the boot.img and system.img ive extracted from update.app but get the error message -- remote: command failed -- and the same if i try to unlock bootloader. Obviously its not going to work because my bootloader isnt unlocked and nor can i got in to developer settings to enable oem unlock and turn USB debugging on because my phone wont boot past that bloody honor logo.
The only thing i havent done yet is to use eRecovery but i dont have broadband and i doesnt seem to work over public wifi! So i will go to my friends tomorrow and use their broadband and hopefullly eRecovery will download/restore the latest firmware. The only other thing i can think of is to download the original nem-l51c432B102 that came with my phone when bought, extract the update.app file and replace the B130 i have on my sdcard dload folder at present.
Sorry for such a long post but i wanted to expalin evrything in detail to hopefully resolve my problem without going backwards and forwards with questions and answers and taking for ever.
So ANYONE and EVERYONE who managed to read the whole post, if you have even the slightest idea of how to get my phone working, please oh please share it with me. Also my phone is still under warranty so if i needed to send it to a huawei centre to get it fixed would they do it and do it for free??? because eseentialy all i did was a factory wipe/reset and install a frmware and it goes KAPUT!! thats not my fault right????!!???
Thank you to one and all for any wisdom you can share.
please...please....help
So sorry for my original long post people, i simply wanted to give as much detail and info as possible because being vague doesnt help anyone. It seems that might have worked against me.
Please,please any suggestions would be appreciated to the N'th degree! I have tried everything i can think of and i am truly desperate now. I dont understand why i cant get it to work...
I can go into stock recovery and wipe the cach and do factory reset and that works fine, no errors.
I can hold the 3 buttons down to install the firmware package(ive got update.app from B130 build) and that works fine, gets to 100% and says 'success' and then reboots, with no errors.
But either way the phone refuses to boot past the honor logo boot animation and ive left it for hours hoping,praying, it will work after the 32nd time...
I can access fastboot but that is useless because my bootloader is not unlocked and i cant get to developer options to enable 'usb debugging' and 'oem unlock'. So i just get error message 'remote: Command Failed' with any command i type.
But thats madness, i cant comprehend why it wont boot because everything seems to work!?!
There has to be a way to get my device functioning again.
I am pulling my hair out, i am at a complete loss, it doesn't make sense. PLEASE ANYONE ..... please help....
Thanks HONOR-able enthusiasts for any help, no matter how small!

I wish my friend. No it is the update.app from the full b130 update.zip. Anyhow I have downloaded the b102, the earliest version I can find and the b130 rollback from nougat to MM version. Gonna extract the update.app from both and try one after the other to install via 3button method. I am just waitingfor my Bro to lend me his laptop so I can copy the files on to my sd card. So wish me luck, he's just come round. I'll know in a couple of hours if it works
It's all gonna be fine
Hello everyone, how do you do?
I've got this phone that was running perfectly the stock rom, but I have that addiction to customize every phone I land my hands into (I guess some of you either haha).
But
This time something horrible happened, and I just can't back this phone to work. I'll tell what did I've done and I'm hopping you to help me (just paid a lot to fix the broken screen, don't want to buy a new board...)
Here we go: yesterday, several times I've tried to unlock the phone, and figure out that the fastboot command to do that have changed to fastboot oem unlock (at least in this phone), and had no need to copy that code into Motorola's page. After unlock, tried to install TWRP Recovery, several times, and finnaly got one that worked here. Okay. Ready to go. Also had difficulty to find a ROM that is compatible with this phone (I wanted some with Android 9, or 8.1, at least). I was capable to install the Lineage OS 15 Unnoficial for Nicklaus, but got stuck in Lineage OS Logo Screen. Fine. Downloaded the Lineage OS 14 Unnoficial (Android 7.1), flashed, and everything went fine! The ROM was installed, configured, but... My phone has the OnScreen Buttons for Navigation... And this ROM doesn't appear to get this to work... Every time I went to settings page and tried to enable this feature, the Settings Application stucks and phone restarts. So, at this point, I thought that the ROM was with some code problem, whatever, decided to download another. And (that was a HUGE MISTAKE). Downloaded the DotOS ROM here.
After flash, the ROM loaded up fine. Settings, ok, system, ok. But, the same problem with the Navigation Buttons. What? Again? Yes. Tried to enable via settings, but I realized that some configurations of Lineage OS installation is still there - forgot to wipe data before flashing ROM... But at this time (I guess it was 2AM) I had no patience to reboot, wipe, boot, configure, and decided to factory reset using the option in Settings menu. The DotOS shows me a logo saying "Wiping data". The phone reboots. And reboots. And reboots. But, the TWRP stills working, and tried many, many times to flash all sort of ROMs with no success at all.
I was going insane, you know, WHY I CAN'T FLASH THE ROM I'VE JUST FLASHED MINUTES AGO?? Got a clue: somehow when wiping data, DotOS bugged my /data partition (in TWRP, when wiping data, got an error in this partition, and cant fix it using TWRP fix menu). Tried a lot of tutorials over the internet to fix that partition, with no success. And, unfortunately, at that point my /system and /cache partition got broken too.
But, I had my secret weapon: THE STOCK ROM. Yes. Everytime all went wrong, is quite simple: just install the factory's ROM, and you will be fine. Right? Wrong. Really don't know why, I was not able to flash some images of the ROM (boot, recovery, system also). Thought I've downloaded the wrong Stock ROM. Tried another. And another. No success. What the hell? At this point my mind was not lucid enough, and decided to STUPIDLY FORMAT PARTITIONS BY MY SELF. Reboot Bootloader. Connect Cable. Fastboot.
fastboot devices -> OK
fastboot erase boot -> OK
fastboot erase userdata -> OK
fastboot erase system -> OK
That's it! Fixed! Now is just reboot, and... Reboot. Reboot. Reboot. Reboot.
Ok, Vol Down + Power. Nothing. Ok, Vol Up + Power. Nothing. Ok, Vol Up + Vol Down + Power, Vol Power + Dow Up, Fingerprint + Screen + Two Punches + Power. Nothing.
Stuck in boot loop. My worse nightmare. Thinked: okay, lets remove the battery, and... Remember I've just fixed the broken screen? Yeah. Out of lucky, the assistance tried THREE TIMES to change my screen, because the screen's provider at first provided a screen with ghost touches, at second a screen that had light glitches. At third, a correct screen. Don't want to loose my warranty, you know. If this third screen has some problem either? The assistance put that tag over the screw, you know. Can't take my battery off. But I really don't know if removing the battery will really help, because I've erased my boot partition. I hate me. My wife too (but she hated before). Now, got this tutorial: Ultimate Guide for [Bootloop Recovery] Noob Friendly, that is a little outdated, and can't help me. But gave me some hope: So, my phone isn't bricked yet! I can fix it!
But I really don't know how.
I hope someone helps me, and that this topic can be useful for any one who got stuck in Boot Loop from here to eternity.

Hey, download the stock rom for your from here:
https://motostockrom.com/motorola-moto-e4-plus-xt1773
And follow this process to flash the rom on to your phone:https://androidmtk.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool
Warning for this phone flashing process:
In SP flash tool, "do not" select 'format all+ download'(the phone will be bricked). Only select 'Download only'.
Secondly deselect preloader after adding scatter file(flashing it will also brick the device).
This all warnings are already given in the flash guide, i just want you to give proper attention while doing it.
