PLEASE help : My phone stopped working after trying to change it to a L09 and now is dependent on the company's logo and does not accept any Software
You need to read about flashing from the bootloader using fastboot. You will be able to get it back working but you will need to get an extracted rom to flash the right parts.
Now I have a bit of time, I will tell you how I solved my issues. My phone was stuck with only the bootloader screen available or the eRecovery screen which would not find any suitable download. It said that the bootloader was unlocked yet I could not flash anything that I have extracted using the ROM extractor.
After much frustration I opened and ADB session and used Fastboot commands and re-entered the number in the Fastboot OEM Unlock command and it then confirmed that it was actually unlocked. It seems that although it said it was, it really wasn't.
Now that I knew it was unlocked, I could now start to flash parts of the extracted ROM.
I used the Huawei Rom Extractor tool to extract the Boot, Cache, Cust, Recovery, System and the Userdata image files of the ROM I needed and in this case it was the CRR-UL00470B110. I renamed the extracted files and removed the prefix numbers and put them in the ADB folder for ease of flashing.
I then used the Fastboot command to flash each part in the normal Fastboot format i.e. - Fastboot flash system system.img , and so on for each part. A reboot after brings it up in a nice new live usable phone. Well that is what I thought until I started to load the apps back on. I then noticed that I only had about 3gb left of my 64gb of memory! This took me a while to resolve and after more reading, more flashing of different ROMs I found the answer.
I had to flash the TWRP recovery using Fastboot, then format the data partition from TWRP. This restored the full size of the partition. Another flash of the correct recovery using Fastboot left me with a fully working unbricked Mate S.
I know that some of you may know all about this but I could not find any information and had to work through it myself and from various websites. I hope that this will help you to unbrick your phone.
I still think there may be something missing like the oeminfo file etc. but at least it works, you may just have to update it in future using adb and Fastboot if no OTA is available or works. Not too much of a worry now you know how to do it.
I should also add that if you ever get an 'Invalid Argument' when flashing in fastboot mode and some oparts flash while others dont, it will be your cable. Trust me, one cable workws well another gives you this Invalid Argument error! Strange but true and may catch you out.
Thank you(Sathelp) to help me to solve the problem of mate s mobile, but I found only three orders adb work when used fastboot screen, there are boot, recovery and cust but the system and other order give fault result in adb. Therefore the phone remain broken. ..sorry for language
Is it possible to provide me a complete backup copy of the phone to be downloaded to my phone via the twrp recovery , perhaps back to life again, I would be grateful to you
my p[hone is a U00 not a L09, so my back up will not work. Have you changed your cable, I had simular problem, changed cable and other ROM parts worked OK. If not, then you will need to ask for a L09 TWRP back up from here. May be someopne will make one for you.
Finally, the problem has been resolved and the phone returned to work and all this is due to the help of (Sathelp), which benefited greatly from his observations in this matter ,the issue has been resolved by updating the ADB and the execution of an order (FASTBOOT FLASH SYSTEM.IMG) , which i could not be implemented except adb updated, but the phone remained unresponsive for OTA updates and remained on the android 5. Thank to xda forums.
Glad it is now working
Huawei Mate S CRR-L09 bricked
Hi
I have a Huawei Mate S (CRR-L09) does not work and remains stuck on the android logo. Mention that is installed TWRP and I tried to "wipe data factory reset". I accidentally erased everything on it, including Systema. I did not back up your data and restore the system. I downloaded firmware B145 stock on which I copied to root your phone but, but can not flash TWRP. I entered the menu Update (Vol + Vol- and Power) but does not see that folder "dload". Can someone help me with a backup or a tutorial on how to flash TWRP firmware.
Thank you
Hey xda community,
last night i run into a tricky situation.
First, I explain what I did
I bought me the P9 EVA-L09 via Telekom Germany.
cause i don't want the Telekom **** on my device i decide to TWRP, Root, and flash P9 stock Rom on it.
Unlocking and install TWRP with the SRK Tool works fine. Install the Root was a bit more tricky, because windows lost the correct ADB connection when i go into TWRP Sideload Mode. Because that does not work, i decide to flash the P9 Stock ROM without Root to come forward.
While flashing, (i don''t now anymore which method i choose to flash) an error appers, and the flash process canceled.
The Device don't boot anymore. After a loot of googeling and testing, i've found out that the problem was the encryption of the /Data Partition.
TWRP was unable to mount it, same for the /cust and one more.
After reading about other Methods to get the Phone work again i try this Method i've found on xda.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
Unfortunately the "press all buttons on the phone" Method don't work.
I also tried out the Huawei Update Extractor to flash single image files to the partitons of the phone. I used the dload file form the previous Method

Download from xda huawei update extractor and extract img files from the update.
Turn off the phone, then press vol- and power key, you are in fastboot mode.
Then, flash img files from extracted rom with:
Fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
And do the same with the others...
When you finish, fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But that don't work. fastboot already replies with "Remote Command not allowed"
i changed the Method a bit. I've put the BOOT.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG an an SD card and flash it via the Install IMG Funktion of TWRP.
That workes very well and expect the /data partition every partition was mountable again.
Then i used the "Fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG" again, and tada it works without errors.
The device is booting again to Android, but it reports that the /Data Partition Decryption failed and i have to enter the Recovery Mode and do a factory reset to unlock the partition. If i reboot for get rid of this error the phone does not boot into the Recovery, it boot to the eRecovery which is useless for that because it only provide the eRecovery function instead of also a normal factory reset (how dump is this )
Now the state is, phone boots normal, reports the /Data is not decryptable, reboot to eRecovery, shutdown or reboot. It does really nothing else.
I can't get into the Fastboot/Download Mode, it ignores the Key Combination Volume down + Power. If i press this it starts normal.
I also can't get into the recovery / TWRP Mode, it ignores the Key Combination Volume Up + Power. If i press this is starts normal.
I've also noticed that the Phone is not conecting to the ADB on my computer, only the virtual CDROM from wich the HiSuite is installable connects.
I've also noticed that the eRecovery is not able to starts WIFI on the phone. It errors with "Starting WIFI failed!"
I also tryed out another time the dload function. This changed nothing. Phone boots still normal and run into the Decryption problem.
And i tried out to boot into fastboot or recovery after a cold reset, battery empty
Now it's on you. Has anybody an idea how i can solve one of the above problems. I think when one is solved the others will disappear via flashing new TWRP or so
Try connecting your phone to usb and then holding power+volume down until it boots to fastboot mode.
Huawei phone won't boot into recovery if system and twrp don't match but it should boot to fastboot allways.
What is the last rom you had on your phone while it was working?

Sent from my HUAWEI VIE-L29 using XDA Labs
I see two possibilites for this behavior:
1) The phone only pretents to reboot but makes a kind of warm start (never running the code to branch to recovery/boot) -> if the phone seems powered off and you attach usb cable, do you see standard battery laoding animation (that's what it should be) or black screen / boot logo?
2) You flashed a wrong boot.img and/or recovery.img or flashing got screwed up
If you have wrong images, fastboot should still work as edint3000 said.
For the unlikely case (1) with non removable battery you have to wait until battery is drained before you can boot into fastboot after connecting USB cable. Edit: oops just saw you did that.
I had another phone that at some point decided to go only in fastboot with volume down and no power button, when powered up with USB power. But I had never such an issue with a Huawei phone. However, playing around a bit costs nothing (but time).
I see no reason why fast boot should not work. How did you find out, that everything is fine after flahing with TWRP and before flashing system with fastboot?
Did you do anything else than flashing the system.img with fastboot?
Chilli
Same problem here...Phone not boot/not enter fastboot mode/not enter recovery mode...just stuck "your device booting now" screen...any solution?
Hello Mossyhand
you should search for the recovery Method with an "dload" ROM. This are kind of special Roms wich are able to "selfflash" onto the phone.
You have to put the right file onto your SD Card and then you have to press some keys when i remember right.
Sadly i've forgot, when i solved my problem, to reply how i did that exactly ._.
But if you do search in the dload method you will figure a way out i guess
If you don't find an right file, i can upload you my file, i have it still on my computer
had the same problem
go into the erecovery, it will tell you the data partition has been damaged. u can wipe it from there. go into trwp again, install rom and stuff. voila, works
cheers
Ok so I was going about Trying to flash TWRP it wouldnt go. Tried a few times etc, nothing, so i gave up.
Now when i reboot or turn off and power up, i get a N/A in the top corner for a few seconds but then it boots up fine. But i cannot do a backup & reset, and i cant get into recovery now.
I get a start up failed your devices didnt start up successfully use the software repair assiant on your computer,
bottom says ap fastboot flashmode secure
error: failed to load kernel
fastboot reason: fall-through from recovery boot mode
but i can toggle to Start and it boots fine.
Computer now does not see the phone when i plug it in, it dont make a sound and is not in the device manager, also when i reboot to fastboot, it still isnt seen at all. flashing_unlocked so i can flash. but cant use adb since pc wont reconize phone now, and i cant reset.
So i can use the phone like normal atleast, but cant reset or access recovery. its like it just inst there
any ideas???
Thanks
Ok so the computer don't even ding when ya plug the phone I to it. On any computer I use. Is there a corrupted file that the phone uses when connecting to a computer... ?
Phone works fine.. just recovery is missing.. and with no way use to use adb... Is there any way to get the recovery back on?

It would help to know what model your device is for one thing. Also, what command exactly did you use to flash the recovery? It almost sounds like you flashed the recovery to the wrong place or you did the erase command before trying to flash and borked the recovery partition.

You need to type in fastboot flash not fastboot boot. Boot will only "boot" the recovery but won't flash it onto your phone.

yep i know, first time i tried this, it would boot when i type boot. BUT when i tried to FLASH it, it wouldnt flash and stay.
Now i cant even boot TWRP, just hangs on the TWRP logo screen. I let it sit for 5 mins, before it ould only take a few seconds.
BUT i am using the one from the offical site, not the one on github thats only a zip file.
unless someone has the img file from github.
BUT STILL like i said i get that error you see in CMD screenshot.

First of all that error is normal. Second, the img is right there on the page I posted the link to. I even posted a screenshot of me downloading it from there. I don't see any reason why I could download the img and you can't. I give up.
OK, sorry didnt see the link. I downloaded that, i flashed it. IT worked. But now when i reboot it goes straight to recovery. But i reboot to bootloader and start that way, no big deal.
Never seen those errors before, but yea it worked now, must have been the wrong TWRP. Works now. THank you
But whats the default password in TWRP

Np. That's why we have a thanks button though. To fix your booting problem you can try connecting your phone to your PC and booting to the bootloader and run this command with fastboot:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
That should do it.

If you flashed the force encrypt noverity zip yes. If you don't want enryption or want it to be optional to encrypt use the one that says opt encrypt. This is all gone over possibly hundreds of times in numerous threads. You should do a little searching and reading.

My bad. Often a .img file is zipped because .img gets treated as a picture.
And you can also extract .img files from flashable zip releases.
Didn't think you might have grabbed a source code zip.
Hi guys, i need some help pleeease!
I was with the November security patch on my cell phone, I unlock the bootloader and went to use the friend tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585) to activate the camera2api.
But it gave problem and the cell phone did not turn on, it was locked in the screen of android one.
So I downloaded the patched_boot.img from the version I was in and put it via fastboot. did not work.
Now, my phone is in this situation: I tried to use MiFlash (three versison: 2018528, 2017720 and 20151028) and they fail in the middle of the process, accusing "FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))".
And: when I try to connect the cell phone normally, it shows the unlocked bootloader warning and goes straight to the fastboot, even without my request. This is strange. Perhaps because the system is damaged by the miflash unfinished
Obs: bootloader are unlocked and i can access twrp
If anyone can help me I will be very grateful and happy
What exactly did the "tool" do? I mean if you don't know that, pretty difficult to diagnose what's wrong...

Hi.
The tool (her topic link is up there) promised to activate camera2api without root my device (allowing OTAs in the future).
I believe she did a "temporary root" with a "temporary" boot.img just to activate the camera2api, and when it rebooted, it would return to normal boot.img without root. I do not know if I could explain it well.
The current issue is that it seems that the system is currently "destroyed or corrupted". Can not I reinstall the entire system through TWRP? Or something like this
Like I said, you don't know what it actually did. What it promised is one thing, what it did... another
That's the problem with 'tools'.
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Hold Vol up and power until it gets to Recovery (hopefully), if you do a quick press of vol up, that gets past the 'no command'. Then use vol up and down for selection and press power when on 'factory reset'.
It might work

You are right, friend.. this is the problems with tools! I never use tools with my A1 and past phones.. just this time :crying:
I tried the factory reset now. And it did not work, unfortunately. On the first attempt (I was in fastboot mode) he showed a white circle with the writing "ERASING" and then went back to the screen of Android One, and then I tried again Vol Up + Power and he appeared "No command" , and after I rebooted and tried again, nothing appears, it just restarts to the static screen of "Android One"
Another ideas?

The only other thing I can think of would be to change the current slot. If that works you would be booted into the prior version of the OS vs the latest update you did.
In fastboot, do fastboot getvar current-slot
Depending on what that slot is, change it to the other one (can only be a or b)
thus fastboot set_active a (or b, whichever is not the current one)
then fastboot reboot - and hope it boots.

That's probably because you have an old version of fastboot installed. Upgrade to the newest version, which should recognize dual slots.
dual slots are quite new.

But doesn't work, unfortunately. After reboot, the phone can't boot and appears the screen asking between Try Boot Again or Factory Reset. I tried Factory Reset, but don't work =( return to the same screen.

I've never used miflash, so no help there.
I'd try flashing the correct boot.img (for your software version). You can find the various boot images in the following link (don't forget to thank user ckpv5 for uploading these).
https://sourceforge.net/projects/others/files/Xiaomi_MiA2/
you would do fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
I'd suggest using b slot, as that was originally active. After flashing, set it back to active, try to reboot... then cross your fingers

Doesn't work man.. I went to twrp and checking there in the "WIPES session", I saw that the SYSTEM partition is 0kb used and 0kb free. Appears to be entirely empty
Do not have a way to install the whole system via twrp?

No, I don't. But I can tell you, twrp is a recovery app. It shouldn't be in the boot slot. And, with dual slot configurations, there is no recovery partition. The other slot is now used to do a recovery.
In other words, the way we *used* to use twrp doesn't work on dual slot phones. I think that's a big part of the confusion people are having. While the boot images do have a small recovery part to them, it's not a separate partition.
If you're flashing boot.img, and setting that slot active, I've no idea how you're getting into twrp.
Since now your fastboot is working why don't you use miflash to flash official stock ROM
1. You need unlocked bootloader which you already have.
2. Run these command to unlock critical partition
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
3 . Download the official fastboot V9.6.14.0 ROM from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/ota-v9-6-5-0-odimife-t3823445
Or here
http://en.miui.com/getrom.php?r=353&m=yes&app=false
4. Install with miflash (you already know the how-to)
5. Once up & running, do OTA to latest
Later .. redo what you want to do like enable camera api2 with proper guide.

Hello.
I've tried using Miflash several times (3 different versions), but it never ends, it end up with an error every time that he will copy the file system.img to the mobile phone (I analyzed the log).
The miflash divides the file system.img into 5 or 6 smaller parts to be able to transfer to the mobile phone, and in some of these parts gives error, everytime :crying:

I can access twrp when I flash ''fastboot boot twrp.img" in powershell, so until the next reboot I have access to twrp

When I read your post here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78085858&postcount=188
"flashing is not allowed for critical partitions" usually due to critical partitions not unlocked. So .. if you already run "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" and you still have error using miflash .. nothing much I can offer to help. Hopefully you'll be able to fix it.

Hmm thanks for the answer!
Even when the operation fails after transfer a couple of archives before the system.img??? (on the Miflash)
If my phone was locked, Miflash could transfer these couple of archives before the operation fails?? Or if bootloader is locked, zero files can be passed by Miflash, and the error is apresented at the beginning of the operation?
Have you successfully unlocked critical partitions?
If yes, try to run flash_all.bat from the official stock image you downloaded. No need to use MiFlash.

well... When I just run flash_all.bat from the stock image folder, the .bat file will recognize that I am running it for the connected mobile?
how exactly should I run flash_all.bat? just double clicking it in stock image folder? or should I copy the .bat to /adb folder and open power shell prompt in adb folder and execute the .bat from there? sorry for my ignorance
Can you show me, please?

Before someone can explain that, why don't you answer the question asked .. in fact at least 3 people was asking/telling ...
"Have you successfully unlocked critical partitions?"
Without the proper answer from you, not easy to help.
Hello all, I have a big problem - I tried to use last TWRP from L00 Kostyan LOS13 version. I bricked my phone :-(. I had Kostyan last LOS13. by mistake I installed recovery.img to oem info partition. When I start the mobile LEDs first blink is red then green. There is no logo. I can only go to FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE. It say phone locked. I can connect to phone via fastboot, adb says there is no device. I found out via fastboot that bootloader is locked. I am not able to load anything - its say command not allowed probably due to locked bootloader. Coudl you help me please? I also tried to save an official Huawei ROM to SD card to dload folder, but nothing happens during starting phone (I tried all combinations - power button + only vol-, only vol+, both volume). I can go only to FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE :-(
You may have messed up your oem partition, which is very important in order to boot your device properly.
Although your bootloader is locked, I think you should be able to flash EMUI properly.
Extract your update.app using the Huawei Update Extractor Tool (google it, you will be able to find it in a xda forum, in the first results).
Try to flash that oem partition, it should be inside your update.app.
If it doesn't work, you may be able to unlock your P7 without any code.
Try typing fastboot oem unlock .
If it doesn't work, then try booting that TWRP image
fastboot boot <nameofyourtwrp>.img
There you will be able to reflash your OEM partition properly.
Obviously, for all the previous steps, you need ADB & Fastboot drivers:

Thank you very much for you quick response. I extracted the official P7-L10V100R001C00B609Esp ROM (I can try another but I do not think it matters). I do not see there anything similar to oem partition. I tried to flash recovery and boot section. But I always got "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)". I tried also the TWRP with the same result.
I tried fastboot oem unlock but I got "FAILED (remote: data parse fail)" it probably requires a code.
I think I have to unlock bootloader but how to do it if my phone does not work?
