Unbrick a Mya-L23 Huawei.
Hi recently I got my hands on a Mya-L23 and I thought it would be very good to use as a In Car Waze, so since I use a tasker app for this I needed root, so I did a booboo, rooted it wrong and ended up with a VERY nasty bootloop ( I even did open it to remove the batter ) , however I was able to recover it and see that it was almost unbrickable.

The ROMS ARE HUGE !!!!!!!!!
- How to do it.
1- Install the MT drivers
2- Open the rom ( unzip it )
3- locate the "download agent file" ( this is a file that will tell SPtool what will be downloaded )
in the rom I used it was called: DA_SWSEC.bin and it was located in a folder called download agent
4-locate the scatter loading file ( inside the firmware folder of the rom ) , this is a text file in my case it was: MT6737T_Android_scatter.txt
5- Now open the SP flash tool
6- Press the download tab
it will have a screen with 3 things you can write, go to where it says: "Download agent" click on choose , and add the the download agent file you identified before
7-Load the scatter loading file, pressing on choose on the second choose button, if everything is ok it will read a lot of files, and will take like 10 minutes or so... be patient
8-you will see below this a select list that says:
Download Only, Firmware upgrade, format all + download
for now select: Download only, if it fails, try Firmware upgrade, if that fails, then Format all + download
8-WITHOUT THE PHONE CONNECTED TO THE PC PRESS the Green Download button on SP tool
9-Hold the VOL DOWN button on your phone ( even if it is on a boot loop )
10-Insert a USB cable from the PC to the phone, keep the VOL DOWN BUTTON PRESSED until it starts showing a yellow like , then the rom will be written to your phone. ( after this most likely it will be alive again )
11- Profit !
---------------------- Do all of this at your own risk ----------------------
Most likely this will work with other y5 or even other phone models with the right rom and download agent...
Have a nice day !

Hey everybody,
As y'all can see: I'm new here
I found a way to root (almost) any device...
THIS ONE WILL TRIP KNOX (on Samsung devices)
Code:
I'm not responsible for any damage to your lovely device. If you continue in reading this and actually doing what I say, you accept my terms of me being able to laugh in yo face when you say I turned your smartphone into a potato... even if this means you didn't go to work because your timer didn't go off... lel
Needs (resources):
- laptop or pc (DUH)
- odin >>> just google it and you should find it
- a custom-recovery file for your specific device (must be odin flashable) >>> can be found on XDA (here where you are reading this *lol*)
- the universal root-package.zip >>> attached :good:
- Data cable >>> I recommend using the cable that came with your potato :silly:
- some time ( )
What ya gotta do:
0. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked >>> if you forget this or you just don't wanna do this (y?) Your data may be formatted when flashing
1. Place the update-supersu.zip file on your phone's storage (better would be sd card but okay... BTW you can choose... it's not like it HAS to be on the phone's storage)
2. Run odinV3 as administrator
3. Boot you phone into download/odin mode >>> power off > power button + volume down + home key OR power button + volume up + volume down
4. Connect you phone to your pc/laptop
5. In odin's live log it should say: device connected
6a. In the AP slot: put your recovery file
6b. Make sure to disable auto-reboot in options of odin (IMPORTANT)
7. HIT GO!!
8. ONCE DONE FLASHING DON'T REBOOT... reboot into recovery IMMEDIATELY ( VERY important > if you perform a normal reboot you gotta do this all again ( your uprooted system will replace the custom recovery with its own recovery if you didn't successfully root ))
9. In recovery allow modifications
IF YOUR RECOVERY ASKS TO ROOT YOUR PHONE PLEASE, PLEASE DECLINE
10. Hit the install button in your custom recovery and search for the update-supersu.zip file > select it
11. Install it > you should see some stuff happening
12. Once done hit reboot system now and let it reboot >>> first reboot may take some time... let it go and don't speed up or reboot Becuz it may break... once again not my fault -____-
13. Look for supersu... if it's installed > you probably successfully rooted your device * please confirm with a root checker \[°^°\]
Hope this was helpfull... it is my first tutorial
I want to get into making custom kernel and ROMs but I'm limited in resources ( this dooz doesn't even have a pc... -_______- ) but if someone knows how to edit a stock rom or edit boot.img files > TJELL MJEH

UPDATE TO THE MOST RECENT VERSIONS NUGAT AND OREO
FLASHING METHOD
HTML:
- An advert! The Flash phone can have bricks. I'm not responsible for that:p:p.
- If you are not sure, do not make any changes and you can leave this forum:confused::confused:.
- This method uses a modified stock recovery that does not verify the files.
- It serves to update firmware, as well as update to Oreo, but not to do Downgrade Nougat.
- also serves to perform rebrand changing cust.
- make copies of data and applications.
- I will not explain how to unlock the bootloader and install twrp, there are many tutorials.
- with this method the bootloader will be blocked again.
REQUIREMENTS:
- activate OEM unlocking from developer options.
- Unlock the bootloader.
- install recovery twrp P8 lite nougat
- download the firmware finder.exe to download the updates
- download the firmware of your compilation and / or rebrand compilation
- Download the HWOTA file and unzip.
- minimum battery of 50%
PROCESS.
FLASH UPDATE
- unzip the file HWOTA.zip
- download the firmware of your compilation (settings / about the phone)
- the firmware is three files in the update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip and update_full_XX-LXX_hw_xx
- the latter "update_full_XX-LXX_hw_xx" there are usually several L21, L01, etc. just download one and it will depend on the cell model.
- If there are not three, it does not work.
- Rename the firmware as follows : update.zip, update_data_public.zip, update_all_hw.zip
- copy and paste the renamed files into the "HWOTA" directory.
- the HWOTA folder, copy and paste in the external memory.
- turn off the cell phone and boot in recovery twrp.
- change to external memory.
- find the HWOTA folder and flash the OTA_catuva21.zip file
- the cell phone will automatically restart
- and start updating let it finish
- if for some reason it remains on the black screen, or sticks to the huawei logo
- perform hard reset (press the volume more and power, and perform both wipes)
- CONGRATULATIONS UPDATE YOUR ANDROID.
REBRAND
- unzip the file HWOTA.zip
- download the "PRA-L...C...oeminfo.zip" (it's a flasheable file)
- download the firmware, this depends on the brand you want to change "PRA-L... C...oeminfo.zip"
- rename updates: follow steps 3 to 8 of FLASH UPDATE
- Create a folder in the external memory and paste the "PRA-L ...C ..oeminfo.zip" of your selection.
- turn off the cell phone and boot in recovery twrp.
- change to external memory.
- search the folder oeminfo and flash "PRA-L ... C ... oeminfo.zip"
- DANGER DANGER:crying::crying:
- when finished flashing DO NOT REALIZE REBOOT SYSTEM
- return to the main screen.
- select reebot.
- select bootloader and automatically restart in fastboot mode.
- and as you will see the bootloader is blocked.
- unlock the bootloader with your code (if it is in red, just unlock)
- once unlocked it will boot in recovery twrp.
- search the HWOTA folder
- find the HWOTA folder and flash the OTA_catuva21.zip file
- the cell phone will automatically restart
- and start updating let it finish
- if for some reason it remains on the black screen, or sticks to the huawei logo
- perform a hard reset (press the volume more and power until the wipes menu appears)
- CONGRATULATIONS UPDATE YOUR ANDROID .

Removed
You really gonna laugh at me. I was rebranding my huawei PRA-LX1 and I already unlocked the bootloader. Successfully done all firsts 9th steps but when I had to unlock bootloader I figured out that I didn't keep the bootloader code from the last time... Then as the website is under maintenance I had to call huawei support, not open during the week-end in my country... During these days stucked in bootloader mode, it runned out of battery and powered off. I finally get the bootloader code from huawei but when trying to unlock I get "Wrong password" from fastboot. I tried to update via dload method but it didn't work I have no idea what I can do to fix it. Are there any chances to unbrick my device?
Thanks,
Nathoufresh
Sorry for my bad english

Thank you so much. I have a MYA-L22 device which was stuck in a bootloop and it was fixed thanks to you
Hey guys, i'm sharing how i rooted my phone, hope it helps someone !
Requirements : - A good usb cable (the one that comes with the phone works)
- A pc
- Android USB Drivers ( https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb )
- SDK platform tools ( https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools )
- Xiaomi unlock tool ( https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html )
- The ROM (seek for the same version you have, check region also) ( https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/mondrian/ )
- Magisk ( https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk )
Preparing files : - Extract the platform tools folder and put it somewhere
- Extract the rom folder and put it in platform tools folder, for ease of use
- Create a folder "Tools" (or whatever) and put in Magisk
- Extract xiaomi unlock tool and put the folder in Tools
- Make a copy of your magisk.apk but rename it to magisk.zip. you should be able to open the file like a zipped folder
Unlock the bootloader :- Reboot your phone to bootloader :To do that, you need first to unlock dev settings ; - Go to your settings
- Go to About phone
- Spam click "MIUI Version" until it asks for code/schema/etc
Now you should be able to see dev settings !
Preparing android : - Return to last settings page
- Go to Additional Settings
- Go to Dev Settings
- Turn "OEM Unlocking" on. don't worry, you're not bricking your phone (yet)
- Add your xiaomi account, either with the xiaomi account on the main settings page or just go to MI unlock status just below and they'll ask you to connect to your account
Now you're good to go !
Unlocking your phone (disclaimer : it factory resets your phone so make a backup) - Turn your phone off
- Turn it on again, but while pressing VOL.-. You should see fastboot in orange on your screen
- Connect your phone to your pc using your power cord
- If it isn't done, install the usb drivers to your phone ( https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/897374309952126986/933062038081650769/USB_Drivers.mp4 )
- Launch MiFlashUnlock.exe, which should be located in platform-tools -> Tools -> MiFlash unlock if you followed the guide
- Follow instructions (Make sure to connect to the SAME account as your phone), and click unlock !
- Now either your phone is unlocked, or you get to wait 7 days. if you need to wait, There's currently no way to bypass it. You just need to wait this time (and maybe a little more to avoid accidentaly resetting the countdown) and retry unlocking.
Root your phone : - Reconfigure your phone, and allow file transferring in miui
- Grab Magisk.apk and magisk.zip in platform-tools -> Tools and put them on your phone
- Grab the boot.img located in platform-tools -> (name of the rom) -> images and put it in your phone
- Install magisk.apk
- Launch magisk, click the install button and click patch, give it the boot.img you put earlier
- Grab the magisk-patched-(something) in your Downloads folder (in your phone) and put it in your pc
- Shutdown your phone, and put it in Fasboot mode like for unlocking bootloader
- go to platform-tools, and launch a terminal in it
- execute " .\fastboot.exe boot (name of the patched magisk image " it should boot into your OS like usual
- Launch Magisk app and go to Modules
- Click Install and grab Magisk.zip
Voilà ! after the needed reboot you should be rooted permanently, enjoy !
Feel free to post below if there's problems, errors etc. First time writing a guide but hope if helps !
