reverting your huawei g510-200 back to factory stock - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

For warranty purposes you can revert to stock jellybean rom. this is the b173 rom which is the only rom available on huaweis website for the g510-200. this is a older rom and has no notification toggles, but power toggles is a very good alternative and much more customizable. hopefully huawei will add the newer b189 rom soon which has toggles.
Step 1: charge your phone to at least 75% if your phone goes flat while upgrading firmware your phone will be bricked!
Step 2: download factory rom http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDcxNDM= this is only for the g510-200 phone! DO NOT INSTALL ON G510-100 OR G510-010
Step 3: extract the rom and copy the dload folder to your sdcard
Step 4: shut down phone remove battery for 5 seconds then start phone while holding down volume + and volume - buttons. wait for upgrading firmware to finish it takes approx 2 min phone will reboot when finished and will be like brand new but remember your bootloader is still unlocked!
Step 4: optional. relock bootloader. connect phone in fastboot mode. you must have huawei drivers installed on your pc. fastboot mode = remove battery for 5 seconds start phone while holding volume - when phone freezes on the boot animation you are in fastboot mode. go to start menu in windows and type cmd then right click on cmd and run as administrator. in the cmd box type fastboot devices and you will see a code of about 7 didgets which means you are connected properly and have the correct drivers installed. you can also type fastboot oem get-bootinfo to see if your bootloader is locked or unlocked. now to lock it type fastboot oem lock. done your phone is completely factory stock.

thanks..

[UNBRICK] white screen & waiting for device

HI all,
I've asked this question on the firmware thread, but I do not have an answer. So I'm trying here.
I installed the new firmware without any problems. But after the reboot I'm stuck on the white screen with the green logo, and I do not have connection with the computer via fastboot (waiting for device). As against the phone is communicating with the computer by HTC Sync or Windows Explorer.
What can I do?
Thanks

How did you install the firmware?
Have you tried fastboot from the bootloader?
thanks clsA
For mike's method (re-lock the bootloader and fastboot) :
1.If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
2.If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
3.Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
4.Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
5.Open command prompt
6.Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
7.Connect device to the PC
8.In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
9.Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
10.Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
11.Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
12.Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
13.Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
14.Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
15.Type: fastboot reboot
Currently I have no access to the bootloader
Although the phone is stuck on the white screen it rings when they call me
Turn off the phone holding power button for almost 15seconds till completely shut down. Then hold volume down and power button. You'll be able to enter boot loader. Also provide more details...version firmware, rom, etc
Are you flash a fw twice ?
Try to unlock bootloader and recovery again brother

I can not. The only possible action is Power and he returns on the white screen.

Yes, twice. And it was ok. I do not have access to the bootloader
You don't provide enough details. But for me it seems like you flash firmware with stock recovery and if you have custom Rom the phone won't boot. Are you sure you are shutting down the phone properly? Then hold volume down for a second. Then WITHOUT release the volume button hold down power WITHOUT release anything till I boot to boot loader?
The phone vibrates once and nothing happens. Still the white screen.
hold power + vol up....if the phone reboots...hold vol down...

ROOT Elephone S7 4gb on Windows 10x64 at last!

For those that, like me, could not get driver recognition on the latest Win 10 x64 no matter what you tried. And ,yes, using every tutorial I could find on this and two "other Forums". Odin failed to see my device (still can't) Cydia impactor allows rebooting into fastboot and D/L but doesn't connect in either alt. mode. Yes, drivers all removed and replaced in varying states (usbdeview, etc.).
But ADB/Fastboot works!
Make sure you have your adb/fastboot drivers installed universally (Check this Fabulous Forum)
Download device-specific TWRP - I used this one for the 4gb version - https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7u3k1mgpppxlyx/recovery.img?dl=0
L.Shift-R. click in the folder you downloaded to (Open Command Window Here) - "adb devices" (to make sure device registers) then - "adb reboot bootloader" gets you into fastboot. - "fastoot boot {your-recovery-name}.img"
I got a fully functional TOUCH CAPABLE TWRP. Which I proceeded to load this - https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1owqv7mjkdpo75/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?dl=0 - and, VOILA! ROOT!!
I had similar issues with my laptop and drivers. Used a friend laptop in the end to "see" the phone and install twrp.

When I try to boot the recovery.img with fastboot it says that my OEM is locked. I check OEM unlock in developer options, then I do: adb reboot bootloader, then fastboot oem unlock. A warning appears saying to press VOLUME UP button to continue, voiding the warranty or VOLUME DOWN to go back. I try to press VOLUME UP and nothing happens... how did you do it?

Hi there, I have the same issue. No success
I found a way, instead of volume up, use the home button this worked for me.. however after I unlocked the OEM and flashed TWRP the phone didn't want to boot anymore. It was stuck on Elephone logo with warning: "Orange State: The phone has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5s", however it didn't boot and stayed like that for almost an hour. Had to flash back the stock firmware to boot. Tried 1 more time the procedure to root but again the same. Maybe I do something wrong?
stock fw flash back
Hi, please can you help me with how you flashed back the stock firmware?
I get an error message with twrp : invalid zip file format.
Thank you in advance!

I read somewhere the is a zip inside the update.zip & is that one that is flash able with twrp.
Have a look
During the main time I managed to flash the 0218 stock rom.
I still got the orange message but the phone finally boot. Then I just called the twrp recovery img via atb. I did nothing only touch the reboot in the twrp screen and since then "Orange status...." again.
May be the twrp recovery img is not the right one...
Bad command "fastoot boot {your-recovery-name}.img"
after OEM alow (informacion phone/compilacion number touch fast 9 times/access/alow oem)
fastboot oem unlock
"fastboot boot {your-recovery-name}.img" for me is fastboot boot recovery.img and all OK
bat still not working (phone not thrust unlocked bootloader cleaning data in 5..4..3..2..1.. and rebot)

Flashed wrong ROM (I assume) - help needed

Hi,
So I've flashed my phone with HTC_U11_Eyes_1.00.709.7_rom_backup.zip found here and now I can't get past boot screen with the usual "This build is for development purposes only...".
Screenshot attached.
I keep trying to reset the phone or power it off, in order to get to fastboot/download/recovery and try to get it back to life. BUT, any reboot ends up on the same screen within a second.
Does anyone know how I can save it? Flash it back to stock, anything?
It's a Chinese version bought in China, if that's of relevance.
Thanks!
You should wait U11 eyes out of power, then hold volume down button and plug in USB cable, it will boot to download mode.
While under download mode, leave it charge to 50% then flash TWRP recovery into boot, recovery partition.
https://twrp.me/htc/htcu11eyes.html
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.3-0-hay.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-hay.img
According to your issue, I assume that your device is htc_haydtwl or you can execute the command below and provide the log here.
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Now you should flash RUU to unbrick the device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11-eyes/how-to/rom-htc-u11-eyes-ruu-1-00-1405-9-t3756115
If you can go to download mode you can try this HTC Stock ROM Global not RUU and it has google apps.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l06p8Gc5zJ1csnH6knVOKbFPunlBpD08/view?usp=drivesdk
Download the file and saved it on SD then plug it in your phone, go to download mode and choose update from SD then wait a while
Note: this Stovk ROM is Android 7 and not rooted or modified.

Need little bit help with bricked Note 8 Pro

Hi everyone,
I got Chinese version Note 8 Pro from Mi official store and unlocked bootloader after 7 days.
I downloaded Global MIUI 11 ROM via official miui download link, "ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia" and installed ADB drivers etc.
After run ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia.bat and pick 1, it installed recovery, then I'm able to boot into TWRP, and then I installed global rom from there, meanwhile wiped everything in it as I don't need China version rom. Phone reboot well and new global rom works great.
Then I try to install Magisk, I noticed recovery seems be restored to original, no worries, I re-run ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia.bat and pick 1 to install TWRP again. Whatever I did, I cannot get TWRP back, when I hold power/+, it keep blank and will restart, but if I don't hold them, it can get into the system.
My first question is: 1. At this stage, is recovery crash already?
I didn't think too much and I get into system, install Magisk manager, let it to patch boot.img, I then use following command in fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot_patch.img
After I finished, I noticed maybe I can do TWRP here as well, then I also input
fastboot flash boot TWRP.img
After reboot, the phone is dead....No fastboot, NO recovery, no vibration. exactly described as here
[UNBRICK - stuck on DA mode / Authorised Service Account required]

2. Will boot_patch.img Magisk patched not suitable for China phone with global rom?
3. Is fastboot dead because I installed recovery into boot via fastboot flash boot TWRP.img?
Thanks for your time and appreciated for any knowledgeable reply.
Flash your original boot.img for your original firmware or just download the xiaomitoolV2 and flash it that way. I see a lot of people flashing stock firmware using TWRP. Hence the v2 tool only works if your phone still fully boots. NOTE do not flash stock FW or UPDATE using TWRP you will brick the device. Chances are your FW didn't flash and just ADB CMD fatsboot flash boot ( then set BOOT.IMG ) in the CMD and get the devices booting again. Then use the V2 tool to flash the global firmware get that to stick then use the ifelixit tool to flash recovery once in recovery go advanced file mgr system-root at the bottom delete boot P then close AVB 2.0 then hit the install root button SU - magisk 19.4 will be installed. no need to wipe or format the phone ( DON'T FORGET TO WIPE CACHE & DALVIC.

Remove the back off the phone and disconnect the battery for 5 min just to be sure hold the power button to clear all power left in the phone. Main objective is to get useage again fastboot or recovery. If you get recovery sideload your boot img and flash it on the next reboot twrp will be overridden.

Thanks. Currently my phone doesn't have reboot, no recovery, purely blank on screen, only power led shows when connecting via USB. In this situation, must open back case to disconnect the battery? I heard about it's free to go back to mi store and re flash it back. To open back case it won't have warranty anymore. Struggling....

I also have two bricked phones note 8 pro with no recovery, only white led shows when connecting via USB.
First bricked with TWRP and then flashed with false boot.img, second is bricked with OrangeFox-Unofficial-begonia.img.
I was open back case and disconnect the battery, stay 3 days but nothing working to reboot to fastboot or recovery.
Also I have already tried with short circuit test point to EDL mode but phone is still dead. I have downloaded many xiaomi and other tools and firmwares, installed all available usb drivers and reading all internet forums.
Please help!
Same
Hello,
I think I did the same error, flashing a wrong boot.img...
I tell you if I manage to do something.
hello, the solution to the problem is the battery is completely discharged until the device stops responding to any attempts to start using the key combination. unless you tried to flash a fastboot partition. the solution works after hard bricking after trying to upload incompatible twrp or other rom (I uploaded Chinese twrp on eu rom). ok, we start:
1. holding vol - and power plug in the usb cable (the buttons are released when the notification LED changes from very bright for a moment to slightly dimmed)
2. you will see the long unseen battery symbol with a lightning inside (i.e. a completely discharged battery, the charge status will begin to show the percentage)
3. Turn off the USB cable at 3 percent.
4. now an important thing - you need to start the phone only trying to enter the fastboot mode otherwise the phone will start to boot the system and get stuck again and you will have to unload it again
5. you will finally enter the fastboot , using only the software from xiaomi or xiaomi flash and fastboot rom
I succeeded after 2 weeks of waiting for it to discharge ...
I copied this tutorial from this partner klocek80 , and it worked perfectly

I'm with you. The boot image has error and when MTK realize it has something wrong it will NOT enter into fastboot. The only way to fix this is too use SP Flash Tool for deep flash. Mi store uses this way as well to fix the issue.
Try this:

I didn`t find any background on your issue, just something like you actually have a device with white led light blinking.
I read this thread before (yes, some weeks ago) this happened to me yesterday https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/guide-unlock-note-8-pro-authorised-t4168805 the short story is that I were trying to return to Miui 12 after of using some custom ROMs and something in the flashing process failed I mean it was an incomplete flashing and I assumed that most probably just the bootloader partition was damaged. The whole important fact in this situation is that you have yet available fastboot mode but like the splash partition with its image was gone I couldn `t see it and I were anyway in fastboot mode so I could flash the proper files to "unbrik" it. (my device is unlocked)
What you should try is connect it with PC while you`re pressing the volume down, enter to adb/fastboot environment and type fastboot commands to see if device is recogniced, you don`t have to hear constant reboot sounds or in this case press the power button simulating that you are powering off device.

Best way Android Q -> P ?

Hello,
I have stock Android Q on my phone and it doesn't get any updates and it is damn buggy so I want to go back. What is the easiest or best way back?
I have read an A / B slot switch or do I need to flash it again? If I have to flash it, the question is how. Does Android P work as before? I have heard of firmware updates that cannot be undone.
Regards Alina

Using EDL mode.
Download MiFlash, ADB Drivers 1.43, fastboot image (preferred 10.0.13.0 or 10.0.18.0), and (optional) Qualcomm drivers. Install them.
Extract the fastboot image.
Unlock bootloader. Tap build number 7-8 times, then turn on OEM Unlock and USB debugging. Turn off phone and turn on with fastboot mode (by long press power and vol-). Type fastboot oem unlock. Wait until it finish wipe off data and reboot phone to system.
After turn on with 'Welcome' screen, turn off again and boot to fastboot mode. Type fastboot oem edl. Open MiFlash. Select the fastboot files where it was extracted to. Select clean all (do not select clean+lock). Click refresh until your device and com port appears. Start flashing.
After 'success' flashing appears, long press power and wait until 40 times the AndroidOne animation loops. Long press the power again until it restarted once more and wait. Your phone will now getting back to Android Pie again.
