Soft Bricked P9 L09 C150

UPDATE 2: Some things can not be fixed without proper tool. All i am left is to send it to service.
Which i did. Talked with a guy, explained and he told me he need to see it and test it with some tools. If can be fixed COOL if not i will sell it for parts and **** myself. Apperently some things need to be left to proffesionals.
PS. Will never get Huawei again
UPDATE: After trial and error i have TWRP instaled. Problem is i can't flash any rom because i got failed to mount /cust ,/vendor/ product (invalind argument) error. Also can't find stock flash rom for L09C150
Hello, i have problem with my phone, and this is 2nd night i spend working on it. Would appreciate any help!
Phone before trying to do anything: L09C150B367, Phone is from Hungary on Telekom (Pink T logo).
Tried to follow debranding guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523) because i am sick of not having updated and unlocked global version. It's been long since i did anything with android and root so i tried and found guides on XDA.
Steps i did: found code for bootloaded, unlocked bootloader with SRK tool and instaled TWRP. Downloaded C432 and placed to SD. Trying to force update with Vol+,-, and power combo but update stop after 5% and say invalid software version. Somewhere i read that root is needed. Tried to root with SRK (Couple of times and different guides), not working for some reason. Phone is still unlocked with TWRP. Read somewhere (it was 3/4 am this night) that full wipe might solve it (note, i could boot into old OS). Did full wipe on TWRP and voila, not working. Can't even log on because no OS detected. Tried to find stock firmware to flash from SD card, no luck. All links i found either don't work or my recovery have ,,not correct version" error.
Now i have unlocked bootloader, custom TWRP recovery and no OS..essencially highteck-flashy brick.
What i want: Stock unbranded EU firmware.
Ps. Only phone, i refuse to burn 250e
If you are kind and free and KNOW how to do this, you can contact me via Discord and talk me trought this!

Mi8 H3G ROM

Hi, I'm a new user in the UK. My phone is running MIUI 10.3.4.0 Stable. I've tried to update through XDA forums to 10.3.5.0 but get a message that I can't downgrade.
I've tried to download the official MIUI 11 package from the website and this tells me that my current ROM carrier is different to that in the update package.
My system info says I'm running global 10.3.4.
Can anyone explain why I can't update and what I need to do to update.
I've found out that the ROM is specific to Three UK. Will unlocking the bootloader enable me to install the global ROM without me having to wait for Three to get their arse in gear?
Phone Mi8
Thanks
James

As soon as you can unlock your bootloader you should give Xiaomi.EU a try, its the bleeding edge development rom, and is extremely stable, and much improved over your current version. It is a huge improvement.
Plus the security certificates are dated Jan 2020

Thanks, I'll give that a go. I've got the software from Xaiomi website. Thanks again.

Well, that didn't work. Can't get any version to install. Time for a rethink.

I had this discussion with three yesterday as they are the ones that are holding it back. The guy I spoke to didn't have a clue. So much so he tried giving me Hauwei number so I could call them to resolve it. Then he gave me xiaomi's number. But when I told him to stop being silly and just explain why they are the only carriers holding it off and restricting the latest security on our phones he's said that they were in the process of looking into whether it would be better for their customers. I told him I was a customer and it should be up to me to decide and I didn't need a babysitter he just gave a generic "we are in the process of looking at it" so if you're on 3 as we are I don't think it will be pushed out on an OTA anytime soon.

Thanks. I've unlocked the bootloader now. Still unable to install a global or EU ROM so I'm going to install TWRP and flash it that way once I've backed it up.

Well, I'm glad to say I've solved it without having to root the phone. Just need to relock the bootloader again incase I need to sell the phone on.
I had to install TWRP through fastboot then install the zip file. The only issue I had was being unable to install the ADB on windows 10 so ended up swapping hard drives, installing Windows 7 then installing the drivers. That seems to have done the trick.

Yes, Windows 10 is absolutely ridiculous. but you can get Adb tools to work on Windows 10 by disabling driver signature enforcement.

Question Question regarding firehose

Hi all,
while flashing Xiaomi.EU ROM I ran into some issues that lead to my Mi11 getting bricked. I used one of the EDL services and within minutes my phone was running again. We flashed 12.0.13 EEA during the recovery process.
However, the first flash attempt showed an error. Something with firehose. The guy immediately knew what to do and removed the following file from the ROM folder: prog_firehose_ddr.elf
Afterward, the second flash process was completed successfully. I asked him, why the file had to be removed and what it is for (and if there is now a compromise to the installed ROM). He answered, that it is too long to explain and that the phone is like how it would leave the factory. No worries, everything is back to stock/default.
Could maybe someone briefly explain if this is something I need to worry about or if it is really okay? I tried to find what the file is used for but apart from a general description regarding the firehose protocol, I couldn't find an explanation for my scenario (and no other guide or instruction ever mentions removing that file in case of errors).
Thank you!

Do you know what was the caused you've bricked your phone? Planning to flash EU as well but reading most global mi 11 phones got bricked in the process?and how much did you pay for edl (unbridled) just in case.thanks

Not really. I installed the latest regular update (EEA version) after unlocking the bootloader and then tried to install the latest available Xiaomi.eu ROM. In the guide, they say that you should update the latest available China ROM. Someone here or over there asked if it would be required to migrate from EEA to China first and then to Xiaomi.eu and one of their devs declined that. So, I went the direct route. Maybe that caused the issue but apparently, there are many people at bricked their device. Others had to re-start the flashing process several times until it went through. Honestly, I would wait for now until this process is more reliable. If I had to do it again, I would flash China ROM first.

I updated eea before unlock. After unlock I restarted but have not finished the initial process, instead rebooted into fastboot and flashed the xiaomi.eu Rom without issues. The only issue I had was the bad usb cable I used (pc doesn't recognize the phone) after using the included cable all went fine.
Can you maybe share the files the unbricker used?

Nothing special. Mi Flash with release date 2020-3-14 and official ROM venus_eea_global_images_V12.0.13.0.RKBEUXM_20210402.0000.00_11.0_eea

Huawei 20 mate lite soft bricked

Hi , soft bricked my Huawei Mate 20 lite. Model is SNE-LX1 HW/EU. Did a firmware upgrade to frp unlock Since then get black screen with yellow text saying a new OS has been installed and device reboots in recovery. Reinstalled already different firmware versions via sload SD card upgrade + use fastboot to unlock FRP code. Fastboot unlock command completes successfully and device does automatically a low level format to then come back to "different os installed message. Anyone advice ?

Hi phitilip, I can't help you on the bricked part (yet). I assume you tried to use Huawei Hisuite software to restore the original firmware so you could possible start over?
I recently got my Mate 20 Lite and haven't messed with it too much (yet!). I do have a question for you though. How did you get the bootloader unlocked? The only way I have found is to pay some random person/company for an unlock code. Trying to avoid that. By the way, I'm in the USA and also on SNE-LX1 with a 'global' designation.

Hi , the unlock code I purchased was for the FRP unlock because I was told would solve my problem and although the code is correct and allows to do a factory reset it will not solve the "you installed a new software ..." message. When looking online I found that I probably installed the wrong region code firmware but tried everything and cannot get the phone to boot normally. Any advise would be very appreciated.

Can you get to recovery or download?

I'm much more familiar with Samsung devices so my frame of reference is there. How did you flash the new rom? What tool? Where did you get the rom from?
Since you can reset to factory, but that still gives you the error, the only way I can think of so far, with the very little experience I have with Huawei devices, is to find two things if you can. First try to find a 3rd party recovery like TWRP or CWM or possibly use the tool you used to flash the ROM. Flash that if possible to the recovery partition. Then find the original factory firmware for your device and region, even if you have to go beck to Android 9. Then from recovery, or the tool you used to flash new rom, flash that. I'll do some research and see if I can find anything you haven't. From my limited searching for my own Mate 20 Lite, there doesn't seem to be much out there. What's your objective in all of this? Are you just looking to root? Did Hisuite play any role in this? The good news is I have the exact same device as you so I can try some things while it's not bricked

Question Need help Mi11 "your System has been Destroyed" Messeage

Hello everyone, im new to this Forum.
I need to ask if someone can help me. I remember using the cleaning Tool on my Mi11 on the Bus and seconds after closing the App the Phone suddenly Turned off & after Turning it back on it just displayed the Message
"your System has been destroyed" and constantly bootlooping.
Recovery Mode was not working, i can only get into fastboot Mode.
I tried flashing new Firmware with the tools provided by Xiaomi but they always tell me to unlock the bootloader wich i havent done and now i cant cause i cant get into the Phone.
I also tried unlocking the Bootloader with MiFlash Unlock but it tells me to add my account in the MIUI Developer Options..
I then contacted some Xiaomi unlocking Service and pay him 30€ to unlock my Phone in a teamviewer Session via AvatarAuthTool and some other stuff but even he was not able to do it.
I removed the backplate from the Phone and shortened the testpoint pins and he tried again with no luck..
i have no Idea how to get this Phone usable again and im desperatly looking for any help or advice bcuz im currently rocking my old Sony Erricson Walkman Phone..
thanks in advance for anyone who is taking the time to read all this and trying to help

You didn't mention if it's still on warranty and whether you can get it repaired from there?
You don't need to unlock the bootloader if you're using the right firmware for your variant.
Do you happen to remember whether it was EEA, MI, IN or etc version for your device?

No worries. You will have to try a couple of fastboot firmwares.
For each of them, you need to use the latest MiFlash Tool and make sure that CLEAN ALL only option is selected.
One thing to note here is that once you select the firmware folder in MiFlash, it automatically switches to Clean All and Lock
So you better make sure to look well and switch to CLEAN ALL only again before you hit the Flash button.

I couldn't find the latest fastboot version for China. Make sure you download fastboot versions for all of these and try one by one. At least one of these have to work for your bootloader.
If these don't work then we could try Indonesia, Turkey, Taiwan and Russia firmwares. No way none of them works.
Edit: Idk how it selected Bold but nvm. Also, these steps will wipe all data on phone. Will be like a factory reset.

Give this a try first, who knows it might work lol.
