Hi there,
recently, I tried updating my phone to B609, following a certain website's guide.
and upon finishing it, it showed the following attachment.
I have tried following almost all I can to revert it, but sadly, it does not work. and, it was a very stupid decision of me to try and update it, full-knowingly that I have a rather obsolete knowledge regarding this.
Can someone please help me, I am really sorry to have bothered the visitors of this forum, and if my thread is not in it's place, please guide me to find a proper place to help me with my phone.
Thank you

Please wait confirmation from more experienced users than me but what I would have done if I were you:
1 - Try to unlock the bootloader. For that there are tutorials here in XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-p7-l10-oem-t3062851
2 - With unlocked bootloader you should be able to flash a new rom!
Hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply friend. I really appreciate it.
Regarding the unlock bootloader, following the tutorial that you have greatly linked to, it says in one of the step it to select a device. But, I did not see any mention of Ascend P7, or for that matter, I'm not aware of another given name for Ascend P7, so, which one should I choose or any selected device would be fine?
Thank you again for taking time to help me. Much appreciated.

As it is said in the tutorial you should modify the values of the list in order to include our phone model (step 3 and following...).

I didn't think of that... I'm sure part of that info is available in the phone case but can't ensure that everything is there...
By the way I've never tried a JIG so any feedback on it would be nice!

Hi,
i guess you have to unlock your bootloader per dload again. You can force an local update by pressing power and volume plus/minus at the same time.
Is the bootloader unlocking local update based on emui2.3? If so, you'd had to downgrade to emui 2.3 (B1xx).
To do so: Flash the downgrade packages(B8xx) first, after that the full rom(B6xx) , then the next downgrade package(B6xx) and the next rom(B1xx).
Probably your phone will boot after the first full rom flash. If it does, you could get the numbers you need, and unlock per fastboot.

Yes, you could just put the update file into a folder named 'dload' in the root directory of your sd card.

You could try to boot to recovery pressing power and volume-. Does the battery charge then? I'd try myself, but my mum got my P7.. If it doesn't work you may try this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084. And if that all fails you could purchase a new battery as your final option.
Please don't try to charge your phone externally. Handling with LiOn-batterys without knowing exactly what you do could be quite dangerous.

UPDATE AS OF 16 OF MAY 2023
This project isn't working right now, but I am still working on it.
However due the complicated nature of the projects and the fact that I have little free time means this project will probably still take time to get to functional state.
If anyone has any idea please contact me, any hell is welcome!

Hi!
So I decided I wanted to flash custom software into my phone, but it's bootloader was locked so I figure a way to unlock it!
I am going to leave 2 methods:
1. It's the most risky but has more chance of working. The idea is to flash the whole firmware again to the phone, but from an unlocked model.
This is posible using the EDL mode and Sahara protocol.
The EDL mode is an emergency mode which allows user to flash firmware in case fastboot and ADB fails. It's also available in all Qualcomm devices.
It is also completly independent from the rest of the phone, and it's the first bootloader we have. If everything is ok it triggers the second bootloader(fastboot) which then boots the system(See the diagram if you want).
As we want to reflash the firmware keep in mind this could brick your phone and I won't take any resposability if it happen
Materials:
-QPST
-Qualcomm Driver
-Working USB Cable
-Fastboot and ADB set up and working
-knoledge on using ADB
Procedure:
1. Download and install Qualcomm drivers
2. Download and install QPST
4.Downlaod the MBN file
3. Reboot
4. Connect the phone to the PC, then open cmd and run "adb reboot edl".
If you are on fastboot mode, then try "fastboot oem edl", "fastboot reboot-edl", "fastboot reboot edl". One of this should work
5. Go to C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\
6.Open QPST Config(it's a blue phone, see picture)
7. Click on "Start clients" and then "Software download". A new window should open
8. Now we need to select the phone image using the browser button
9. Click on start to flash ⚡️
Please be aware the method wasn't tested, so this could brick your phone.
If you decide to try it, and have questions or ru into problems during the process, please let me know.
Also remember to take a backup of your data, as it is goig to be lost. ℹ
____________________________________________________________________________
As for the second method, I tried it and it didn't work for me, but is completly safe so you may want to give it a try.
1. Enrrol on the android 12 beta program, AND MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA
2. Install the update
3. Now exit from the beta program
4. Now you should have an update, it's a rollback to the stable version of android 12. After you installed the update the phone will restart and factory reset.
5. Do the setup as normal
In the end you may have unlocked the bootloader, to check just go to developer options and check if it is enabled or not.
Can we get a video of how to do this?

You may want to uninstall them and reinstall again to see if we solve the problem. Also try to run the app with admin privileges

MOD Edit: Same problem, can't solve it.
Looks like this is a common issue, I will look the documentation of QPST and see if I see the cause of the problem. Thank you guys for helping up this project
So I found that that version of QPST is outdated(it's the 2.7 build 140 and the latest version is 2.7 build 460). I am leaving a zip with it here.
Try and see if this time around we manage to unlock the bootloader
MOD EDIT:
This is the latest version
这是最新版本
#mcl, I have the same problem as you have, I live in Portugal and bought a used Pixel 4 but apparently it's origin is the US, Verizon. From your original post I take it that you didn't try this method yourself and hope others will try? Or were you successful?
for anyone in the same situation, read this thread: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...ed-against-physical-tampering-in-google-pixel
My guess is: if your pixel's " OEM unlocking " is greyed out it will not be possible to unlock. Although I didn't try the EDL route I'm quit sure that at some point you will get a message "bootloader is locked"

Hey I am quite busy recently so I haven't really had time to look more on the thread, though I believe there will always be a way, it may be hard to find but no OS is perfect, and Android is no exception. As it turns out, even if this method worked, when it connect to the internet there will be a high chance that using the IMEI of the phone it will "remember" it's a locked model and won't allow you to flash new firmware.
However I am working on a new method, which is also safer, though I have still work to do, so when It is ready I am going to publish another guide.
Good luck all untill them
Hi mcl, my problem is: I do like to change OS and I did so on my previous HTC M7 and M10. And these 2 phones still function with PixelExperience 10 or 11.
But at best I'm a simple layman with a lot of enthusiasm.
Anyway, I will keep an eye on this thread and hopefully you will find time to make this new method work!
By the way, I see that we are "neighbors", I live in Portugal.

Hello All,
I managed to brick my OP 10 Pro
It happened when I locked the bootloader before uninstalling Magisk.
I am now in a forever bootloop, see video:
Your browser is not able to display this video.
It will not boot into fastboot for love nor money.
There is no time for adb to load into fastboot as it is constantly resetting.
If I hold all three buttons when it is not connected to anything, it does nothing.
If I hold all three buttons while the phone is connected to the computer, it goes into EDL mode and Qualcomm drivers appear in the device manager, but it still fails to shows as 'adb devices' or 'fastboot devices'
I dont know what to do.
Help :-/

I downloaded this from mega which has the full firmware files

I once took a bricked OP6 (hardly a month old) to service center. They fixed it, no questions asked.

The same thing happened to me on my NE2215...
Told OPO support it was the latest update that did it.. they are offering to repair it, still under warranty, for free.
from what I hear it can take 3weeks to 3 months to get it back.
Need a MSM tool
How I happened to me...
i wanted to get the latest OTA, so I removed Magisk, changes boo.img back to stock, reset the phone, and then when to turn flashing off (lock the bootloader)
on the rest step of Locking the bootloader back, is when it looped into this as well....
I know this isnt helpful right now, but NEVER re-lock your bootloader. I've seen far too many people brick their ****. Why unlock it to begin with? When you relock the bootloader, anything that's not signed will not boot. I hope you get your phone fixed. Good luck to you bud
can you please tell me your mobile after hard brick have a pc connection ? beacause my phone also bricked and totally terned off no button combination no charging no pc connection

Why did you try a super complicated route to update? There is no need to do reboot or lock your bootloader after restoring (not removing) magisk in order to do the ota update.

Best solution: throw your phone in trash, also boycott OppoPlus and don't buy from BugPlus anymore
F*ck OnePlus !!
Everyone listen to the google logo user. Oppo is hostile to rom developers and releases broken source code and restricts msm. They're just the apple of android products nowadays
Foreword: My time with Vivo has come to an end. After flashing a wrong devicecfg and accidentally rebooting my device it is now in a hard bricked state.
Vivo has locked down EDL, there is absolutely no way to flash or backup anything in EDL mode without the official Tools (namely Vivo AFTool 5.9.80).
Vivo India refers me to Vivo Germany - Vivo Germany has outsourced its customer support to bulgaria.
The people on the other side of the line know absolutely nothing about the technical aspect and refuse to put me through to anyone with any kind of knowhow.
Due to their anti consumer and anti repair attitudes I will not buy another Vivo phone.
With this out of the way: You might end up like me with a hard brick. Or without signal.
Even if this will not save you from a hard brick I can not stress this enough: Make a BACKUP! And backup your data. This will wipe your phone.
This process is IRREVERSIBLE unless you have a split ROM of the chinese Firmware or your own Backup.
THIS or BL UNLOCK will break your portrait mode. No more bokeh, neither in Origin OS nor FunTouch.
Do NOT flash fsg, modemst1 and modemst2. They are commented out in the COMMANDS file.
You do this at your own risk. As said before this might brick your device.
Unlock your Bootloader
Backup your Partitions
Download my Flash Folder and Extract it: Android File Host
Open 01COMMANDS.txt and read the instructions
Open a command shell in the same folder that you can find 01COMMANDS.txt in
Run the given commands in blocks or one after the other
If you do not have signal after flashing you might have to erase modemst1 and modemst2 partitions, so that they get replaced by the backup in fsg.
A magisk flashed boot.img and adb-modded recovery is included so you can flash it after booting up FunTouch once and backup all your partitions again.
Thanks again to @Pervokur for helping me along the way. There is definitely an easier method that involves less risky flash operations.
My phone died on the cross while I was trying to figure it out, so maybe someone else will pick up the torch.
I will not be able to offer any kind of support.
RIP @Killuminati91's Vivo, who died for the cause.
Sorry to hear that, man, you were so close to what looked like an easy switch between ROMs.
I know you said you were no developer but you are still a leap ahead of most of us here. Long do we miss the good old days where ROMs, kernels and pure innovation shortly followed our much-wanted phone when flashing a few ROMs a week was normal.
Thanks for all your help, perhaps one day there will be a way to recover your phone.
Many thanks, may I relock the bootloader when i finished change to Global rom?

how did you relock the bootloader, does the portrait mode work again?
does any one change the origin os /ocean into funtouch？
version？ how to relock after it can switch to funtouch？
by the way, I saw the post on the taiwan vivo phone of fb
the second hand goods, it wrote he change the origin os into funtouch
and he sell this service , it charge 2000 nt dollars in taiwan.
maybe someone can save your phone.

I think the only problem that keeps the phone from being recognized as official FunTouch is dm-verity.
In theory both phone versions have the same exact hardware.
i'm fail in step 2 :RECREATE DYNAMIC PARTITIONS) & step 3 :FLASH DYNAMIC PARTITIONS)
I thought you fixed your issue with I think wifi or your signal, and you were good to go, and you successfully swapped over to Funtouch?? Was there other issues that you encountered that you continued to mess with it and caused your phone to get bricked? Good job getting this far and sharing the info!

I wanted to find a smoother solution for the dm-verity message and the constant "update to fix broken system prompts" by flash-disabling it. Noticed that portrait mode was not working anymore, so I wanted to return to OriginOS, check if it works and return to FunTouch with a more streamlined, simpler solution to write a guide. Signal was fixed but it sometimes would not connect for the first 10 minutes after a reboot.
When switching back to FunTouch I flashed boot, recovery, vendor_boot, and the vbmeta's while trying to figure out what exactly is needed to get the device recognized as IN. Was not working so I tried devcfg and accidentally rebooted before flashing more partitions. -> Bootloop without recovery / fastboot.

did you try using the OriginOS's camera app on FuntouchOS ? I find it when u use the front facing camera, the portrait mode still work. In the other hand, the back camera is not working in portrait mode. I follow your guide and using the FuntouchOS about 2 days. Everything works fine, except the portrait mode and the AOD. Cant use it anymore.
Oh I see, now that is weird that the portrait mode is not working. So even if you switch not all functionality has returned. Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully someone can continue your work, and find a solution for a seamless transition.
Yeah, returning to Origin did not fix portraits either, so flashing the cam apk itself wouldnt work. I am not sure what exactly is causing it, I just noticed it after flashing FunTouch. Maybe it is disabled by unlocking the BL or a hidden eFuse? Dont know if its possible to get it back.
Im in contact with someone in china, vivo service center remote flashing is my last straw to get this back to work but I doubt that they will do that. A cracked AFTool 5.9.80. would solve all of ours problems but we will not see that for at least half a year i think. I've been gone from android for a few years - all the hurdles surprised me, manufacturers locking down their bootloaders and EVEN edl is kinda disappointing.
