[GUIDE] Back to Stock ROM (the sure method)

Hello everybody, for serveral months i saw several people asking help to back to stock ROM
here we finally have a guide that saved me and can save you!
Requirements:
Windows operative system
Multi Tool
OFFICIAL stock rom (in this guide i'll use B370 for H60-L04) Download
and the most important thing Huawei Update Extractor! Download
and let's go!
First of all open HUE (Huawei Update Extractor) and after selected UPDATE.APP file, extract system.img , boot.img , cust.img, recovery.img that we will flash on the phone, and put them in the folder where adb and fastboot are installed (in this case we use the multi tool directory).
now open cmd or command prompt and move on multi tool directory (cd C:\\Users\NAME bla bla bla\DIRECTORY TO MULTI TOOL)
now plug in your phone and enable Debug USB and type:
Code:
adb.exe devices (to control if your device is online, if not grant the permission on the phone)
adb.exe reboot bootloader
Now we flash all the files with fastboot
the order of commands doesn't matter
(MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SYSTEM, BOOT, RECOVERY AND CUST .img ON THE MAIN FOLDER!)
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot.exe flash cust CUST.img
fastboot.exe flash system SYSTEM.img
than reboot into recovery by doing
fastboot.exe reboot and holding only VOLUME UP button
than do all the wipe (cache and data) than reboot system
Easy right? :laugh:

Thanks for the guide! I used to follow the same procedure too but another alternative is to use multi-tool and use the unbrick option and follow the instructions. It super noob friendly:highfive:

my phone keep restarting, i have try this method, no works, helpppppppp
it stuck on honor logo

Hi Guys,
i got the same problem here with my H60-L12
After flashing Beta Lollipop 5.1.1 i tried to go back to 4.4.4.
Now it's stuck in bootloop and now it keeps flashing the honor logo.
Tried to unbrick it with Multi-Tool and different stock roms but i cant get into recovery or the 3 button install method, only thing working is fastboot mode.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!!

ok, now i'm desperate.
Got different Stock Roms (4.4 5.8.1;4.4 B119;4.4 B310; 4.4 B316, tried TWRP in different versions, even tried to reinstall fastboot drivers , same problem on Windows 10 and 7.
Only think working is Fastboot&Rescue Mode (White Screen, Phone UNLOCKED), but only when plugged in on PC with USB cable.
When plugged in charger, it just reboots and reboots i can't switch to Recovery or Fastboot mode and doesn't even charge the phone.
Maybe someone got any idea, did i use wrong stock roms? Do i have to use Rollback/Revert versions?

Any way to back to stock rom without unlock bootloader?

I've made a horrible mistake.
I was on 5.9.16, tried to downgrade by flashing system, recovery, cust and crc.
Unfortunately I've done it with B316, which is 4.4.4, so i got this annoying bootloop, in which i can't access recovery, bootloader or use the 3 buttons method.
It seems as if the phone tries to forcefully boot into system ignoring everything I do.
I tried draining the battery to turn it off, which worked, but when i charged it it tried to system boot as soon as there's enough battery.
Any ideas?

and where can I find update.app?

This worked for me! I switched from CM11 to the stable 5.1.1 release using your guide. Flashed B370 and then did a local update for the stable lollipop rom. Thanks a ton.

i need help
I extract listed file and open cmd.
I was able to reboot into bootloader.

are you on a boot loop?
make sure your device is recognized by your computer.
download universal-adb-driver for windows and install

I bricked my OnePlus 7 Pro (was stuck and fastboot) and how I fixed it

Hi, I'm writing this to guide those who faced - and will face similar situation in the future - the problem of being stuck on the fastboot screen, where the recovery or booting in EDL is not available.
So, after failing to get root after upgrading to android 10 I was fiddling with TWRP to try to get it to recognize my storage so I can reflash it and flash Magisk, but I couldn't get it to mount the storage, so my stupid brain decided to go to the wipe page and wiped everything in the hope it might magically work!! well.. it didn't!! and I got stuck in the fastboot screen and I thought that I bricked my phone for good.
after hours of searching online and trying everything nothing helped... but finally I managed to fix it.
and btw when I tried to flash TWRP by (fasboot boot twrp.img) I got the following message:
"remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error"
So here is what I did to get my phone working again:
Download and install Tool All in One
Download Fastboot ROM for your phone from here
In the Tool All in One app click on the Flash Factory Images button.
Select the ROM and let it do its work,
hopefully this will work and your device will reboot into a fresh android.

Also it's good to know that the official TWRP of twrp.me does not support Android Q at the moment, that's why you couldn't decrypt and mount the storage. TWRP in Oneplus 7 Pro thread here on XDA does support Q, you just have to remember to boot into the inactive/upgraded slot before booting back to TWRP to flash Magisk as it only installs to the active slot and not the upgraded slot.

Or just use the MSM tool. Job done

All with varying levels of interpretation, steps, descriptions, and the solution. Not all are useful.

I had the same issue and this worked perfectly to get my device up and running again. Thanks again!!

Hi all!
Here is plan B!
First of all - BEFORE you do some upgrade - make OPSwitch backup and copy to PC !!!!!
If you stuck - it's mean that something is badly damaged and wrong. Some of the files reside in the areas where upgrade tools (including Fastboot!) can't change and repair them.
We don't have time, knowledge to sort out WHAT was damaged.
We make all straight from beginning:
1. MSM tools - make your phone like from the Factory with "clean" install (ver 9 for now)
2. "FlashAll" то ver 10E
3. If you need - install "global"
4. If you need - install TWRP and Magisk
5. Restore your backup from PC
At the end you will have "clean" phone with all programs working
EASY!!!

Same as OP, I wanted to flash twrp.img.
I had my OP7Pro stuck in 'fastboot mode', I thought. It wouldn't respond to any commands from console (device not found) and I couldn't turn it off with the power button any more.
For noobs, just like me, I learned that I just had to press the powerbutton + volume up button. My phone rebooted after this.
Now making a backup before rooting and such, phew.

I was stuck in Fastboot after switching slots. Excelent stuf! 2,3 clicks , done! Thank you!

Then you have to use the MSM unbrick tool:

Sounds like you're having problems with Windows Defender. I also got the same error messages suddenly once week ago. I did sfc /scannow and all that but all files were intact. After rebooting the PC two times the problem was gone, really strange.

After an update to Android Q twrp an root was lost.
I was going the normal way like this:
1. In fastboot boot twrp.img
2. In twrp install twrp.zip
3. Reboot to twrp
4. In twrp install magisk.zip
After this the phone stuck a while on this orange splash screen and then reboot to bootloader.
Reboot --> the same effect
Then:
1. Boot into twrp
2. install twrp.zip
3. Reboot system
Everything ok, but no root
Just one method is working for me:
1. Download the full package of OOS 10.x.x
2. Extract the boot.img
3. Patch boot.img with Magisk
4. Flash on fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
5. reboot
My phone is rooted now but without twrp.
Why can twrp an Magisk not work together?
And why I can´t find any information for this problem on the internet?

Well, since TWRP lives in the boot partition on this phone, you will have to boot TWRP using fastboot boot TWRP. Then you flash the unofficial TWRP build 74 installer zip downloaded from the link below (the one from twrp.me only works on OOS 9 and not 10). Reboot phone back into Magisk to switch slot, flash Magisk installer zip which will then install Magisk to both boot slot a and boot slot b. Reboot phone and you should have both Magisk root and working TWRP.

Fails anyway
Bricked my OnePlus and now I'm left with bootloader (no os, no twrp). Everything leads back to bootloader. Any attempts to apply fastboot boot lead to "Load Error". Now I tried with that tool and ended up with this:

cant patch Zip file.

Hi,
When I download I cant find it on my downloads. I have to go into my files app then I can find the zip there. And when I try patch it, it says "unknown image format". Therefore the installation fails.
How can I fix this. I also haven't been able to install TWRP.
thanks

What zip file? Do you mean the Magisk installation zip? You can't use that unless you're already rooted (and then you need to install it from the modules section of the Manager) or through TWRP. But if you're already rooted it's easier to just do a direct install from the Manager anyway.
The patch file option in the Manager is for a boot or recovery image (depending on what device you have, see the installation instructions).

twrp
thanks for your reply.
Im also having trouble with installing twrp. I have unlocked the bootloader on my huawei p8 lite 2017 and have downloaded all the tools and flash img needed to flash it. However when use command " fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0-0-prague.img" it says:
Sending 'recovery' (13458 KB) OKAY [ 0.532s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.340s]
Finished. Total time: 0.909s
then when I use " fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-prague.img" it says
Sending 'boot.img' (13458 KB) OKAY [ 0.500s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')
fastboot: error: Command failed
How can i fix this. Thanks in advance.

The recovery seems to have installed correctly, so instead of running the command to boot the image, try just using the option directly in the bootloader (usually navigated to by using the volume keys) to boot into recovery.

ASUS MemoPad 7 ME176CX unable to flash stock ROM via TWRP

Hi, my tablet was crashed when i updated firmware to one of the latest version in Lolipop.(i don't remember what was the version number of it). Started freezing bootlops, weird crashes and after some time it's stucked at UEFI bios menu. i've searched a lot of possible solutions and made some progress, but it's annoyingly persistent failing to flash ROM. Some ROMs caused freezing on installation progress bar as it's mentioned below( thread ***5.0 Brick Solution*** Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176CX) waiting 20 minutes, but couldn't get response from the device.
Can you please help me what's wrong i'm doing and do you have any solution for this ?

If im not wrong its due to bad partition table, you should try to format everything first, before flashing, on after new year I can give more detailed help, I dont have access to the device at the moment.

Hi, i appreciate if you can help me further. Yes, the main problem is Internal memory is somehow disappeared after i tried to format all memory on WIPE menu in TWRP. Now Tablet went into read-only mode, no access to flash something. Only MicroSD storage is visible on MTP device on Windows PC. It was both visible(Internal storage and MicroSD) before formatting data in TWRP. Looks like all partitions are erased, unable to mount data due to Internal Storage(0 MB) problem. I guess i may need a full memory dump of any of working 176CX 8GB tablet to restore my tablet. Looking forward to your reply. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Raiko.

The partition table looks pretty good in this screenshot:
Spoiler
The sizes seem to mostly match mine (I have the 16 GB variant though).
In general, as long as you can still access the UEFI setup or even boot (temporary?) TWRP your tablet seems in pretty good shape.
I would try flashing e.g. me176c-boot from the "FASTBOOT MODE" (Droidboot) screen (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...6c-boot-for-asus-memo-pad-7-me176c-x.3780225/) and then check if it shows the boot menu if you keep "Volume Down" pressed while turning the tablet on.

That does not sound like it really flashed it successfully. If you install me176c-boot, the boot menu should look like
It does kind of sound like your eMMC has magically become read-only, although I don't know how this is possible.

Exactly yes! This read-only memory mode what i'm facing now. As i said above, i didn't change too many things. When i was trying to solve "unable to mount" error, once i tried to format internal memory on TWRP wipe menu. I saw this advice in main topic, it was explaining in guide how to solve Internal Memory(0 Mb) problem with TWRP formatting, wipe, repairing partitions, change type of format from ext4 to ext2 and rechange it to ext4 etc. I'm very sure Internal memory was visible both TWRP and MTP device on Windows PC before formatting.
Maybe i need to give permissions or enter password(seen it in many Youtube tutorials for Asus Phone) to unlock Internal Memory, but i don't know how to solve this problem without running Android.
Do you have any suggestion to me, what i supposed to do?

It's a very strange problem and to be honest I don't really know what to do either.
I guess in your situation I would put some Linux distribution on a USB flash drive (e.g. Arch Linux), boot it through the UEFI menu (use the "Boot Override" option). And then try to investigate from there using some proper Linux command line tools or by looking at the kernel log. But I can't give you exact steps because I don't know how the eMMC could magically become read-only or how to get it out of this mode.

Thanks for the answer. Not sure we are talking about similar things. I downloaded gparted live on Linux OS.(My dev specialist friend had advised me). Created a bootable disk by rufus, but if i knew it i could tell you the result.
And then do you know any person in the forum who can help me in this case? i believe this eMMC issue is weird, but not magical imho, it must have happened and affected to more users.

I don't really know any other person who has worked on this device in the last few years so I'm afraid I don't know anyone either.

No, actually i haven't tried it yet. Because i dunno how to recognise it.(not familiar with Linux) Another reason i know this is one of the last thing i can try to bring the tablet back life. I was searching other possible solutions before this step.
What do you think about if i got a full memory dump.img.gz(including all 15 partitions) of a working 176CX 8GB tablet? Would that help me in some way?

This will probably be helpful at some point, but I would recommend against randomly overwriting all partitions from some memory dump. This might do more harm than good. From what I could tell, your partition table for example seems fine.
You can try booting the following image. This is me176c-boot packaged for USB. It also contains a bootable version of my TWRP build (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...p-3-3-1-for-asus-memo-pad-7-me176c-x.3745190/).
Flash it to an USB flash drive using Rufus.
Boot it on your tablet. A menu like I showed above should show up.
You can try the other boot options but I added a special "Recovery (USB)" one. This should boot TWRP from the USB flash drive. (Note: use ↓ to switch options, ↑ or Enter to select an option)
When the TWRP splash screen shows up you can disconnect USB.
Post the output of "dmesg" in the terminal emulator here. You can get it via adb shell (tablet connected via USB to your PC) or write to to an external SD card e.g. with "dmesg > /external_sd/dmesg.txt".
Perhaps that (dmesg = kernel log) contains something useful.

Here's the result. i hope it will be helpful.
Also, is there a solution to charge the tablet properly? After the battery capacity goes under 50%(only i can monitor it in TWRP) and then try to connect a power source (AC charger, PC USB cable or USB HUB), Tablet screen is immediately opened in UEFI bios menu by itself. No matter of using power off button. During a cable is connected, tablet goes on again(with release of power off button). Only way i find is opening back cover of tablet and disconnecting power supply terminal of battery for a while. Tablet is charging well via AC charger while screen is completely off(No backlight.) i hope you understand it.

Hmm. There are lots of I/O errors that shouldn't be there.
Code:
[ 8.008459] print_req_error: I/O error, dev mmcblk2, sector 589864
[ 8.008492] Buffer I/O error on dev mmcblk2p9, logical block 0, lost sync page write
[ 8.008641] EXT4-fs (mmcblk2p9): I/O error while writing superblock
[ 8.008692] EXT4-fs (mmcblk2p9): mount failed
[ 8.030538] print_req_error: I/O error, dev mmcblk2, sector 589864
[ 8.030571] Buffer I/O error on dev mmcblk2p9, logical block 0, lost sync page write
[ 8.030868] EXT4-fs (mmcblk2p9): I/O error while writing superblock
[ 8.030919] EXT4-fs (mmcblk2p9): mount failed
This could be caused by this "eMMC has magically become read-only" problem. But I have absolutely no idea how this could happen, it seems almost impossible.
Sadly, another possible explanation for those I/O errors would be that your eMMC is just broken.
Can you try flashing me176c-boot to the internal storage from that TWRP build? Download https://github.com/me176c-dev/me176c-boot/releases/download/0.3.0/esp-0.3.0.zip and unpack it to external SD card.
From TWRP terminal do dd if=/external_sd/esp.img of=/dev/block/by-name/ESP (make sure to type it correctly). Before rebooting, copy the dmesg again to see if there are new I/O errors. (You can post it here if you are not sure how to read it...)

[HELP] Google Pixel 5 bricked (LineageOS for microG 18.1)?

Hi All,
After several years (since 2006) of playing with flashing and rooting the hardware, the day has finally come (I still hope not ...) - I broke my smartphone.
Don't ask me why it happened - I think I was rocking in the clouds by turning off USB debugging while I was still getting my stuff back from backups... Maybe I clicked this option by accident. But one by one:
1. I have downgraded the LineageOS for microG 18.1 ROM to the April 11 version (the newer one had huge connectivity problems :[).
2. Everything worked fine again, unfortunately I have restored too many files (some system files) using my root backup and after rebooting I have bootloop.
The above would not be a problem, but:
* USB debugging is disabled (I don't know if there is a hack method on Pixel 5 to enable it from PC (I'm using Linux)). Flashing recovery seems unavailable (Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory')), the same with adb sideload commands.
* adb shell is unavailable (I tried to send a ROM image file to the device) due to lack of any trusted device on Pixel 5.
(db: error: failed to get feature set: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.)
adb kill-server/start-server and deleting my Linux adbkey doesn't work of course.
I can only add that I have root access and an unlocked bootloader, but I don't know if I can do anything on this basis.
Is there any magician on the forum who has an idea for my brick with bootlooping screen?

Maybe this can work for you? >> Deuces Flashing Script
It should work with any google factory image as stated in the post, don't download the wrong factory image tho.
Goodluck.

Thank you very much! I have only recently been with Pixel and did not know about the existence of this script.
Interestingly, on my first try on Pixel 5 the script crashed, it requires fastbootd instead of the fastboot standard:
system
Sending 'system_b' (23660 KB) OKAY [ 0.700s]
Writing 'system_b' FAILED (remote: 'Partition should be flashed in fastbootd')
as a result, the system did not rise.
Quickly switched to recovery and then fastbootd on the second attempt was successful.

No need for a magician then I guess, haha.
Glad it worked out mate, don't brick your phone again. I think pixel phones are one of the hardest to fix.
