[Q] Huawei Ascend P1 LTE U9202L Bricked, No Recovery, No Fastboot

After installing the V6 supercharger to a rooted Huawei Ascend P1 LTE U9202L, I ran the Ultimatic Jar Patcher, which put the device into a boot loop. I went through the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141392 to attempt to stock ROM flash. I was able to do so, but wifi refused to work without a properly flashed boot.img (was doing fastboot boot of boot.img). Fastboot flash didn't work with error "file too big." Used Android Control 1.3.1 to flash, still no love, even after it says "success." Still same behavior. Then, I had an XDA contributor TeamViewer my phone and he force loaded the boot.img into /cache and did some push and copy.
Now, the phone screen does not power on, even after a battery pull. No key combination can even get Fastboot or Recovery to load - i don't even get a backlight display. When plugged in via USB, instead of ADB USB Device or Fastboot Device USB, Windows Device Manager shows "Qualcomm Serial/COM Device."
So now ... at this extremely far gone point, is my phone truly bricked?

I think you should download firmware for your mobile and flash it.Put the firmware in sdcard/dload/update.app.Now press insert sd card and press vol+ vol- and power button.
Install firmware and also go to recovery mode and wipe cache :highfive:
Hope this works !!

Thanks dear. It worked.

Hi, I have the same problem and I followed your instructions but while the new firmware is installing from the sd card, the phone shut down.
It seems like it has no sufficient power to finish the operation. In fact I tried to plug the phone to charge the battery and that don't work...at least the led is not on (but I'm pretty sure it's not charging).
After that the only things I can do is to power on again and see the boot loop.
Any idea on how to solve?
Thanks.

Shutdown or reboots? The op said that was a G510 and this is the P6 forum
Probably you have the recovery corrupted, you need to reflash stock recovery again via fastboot
THIS IS FOR THE Ascend P6, NOT for the G510

Shutdown. Then if I press the power button or simply I plug the phone to charge the battery, start again to bootloop.
Can you please tell me how to do?

It happens the same to me, but I don't know how to do.
I'm a newbie and I'm not familiar with this command...could you kindly explain what I have to do step by step?

I posted you fastboot noob-friendly tutorials
1st you need fastboot installed and P6 and fastboot drivers
Asumming you already have downloader the image and you are in windows, open a cmd promp and navigate (using cd command) to your fastboot directory, place recovery_original_flashable.img in this folder. If your phone is shutdown, hold vol- and plug the usb cable (if it's continuous rebooting, hold vol- and power button until phone reboots and kernel logo come up)
Type on the cmd promt: fastboot devices , if you see under devices attached, ??????????? or numbers and letters, your phone is connected into fastboot mode
If you don't have this, check if the drivers was correctly installed.
With the phone connected in fastboot mode, type in the cmd promt: fastboot flash recovery recovery_original_flashable.img
After this command finish, type fastboot reboot and enter into the default recovery and try to update the system
I not guarantee the exit of this operation, this solved my problem, but maybe yours not. If you aren't sure, ask here or send phone to your repair center

I am using Huawei G 510-0200 in Pakistan. I had rooted my cell phone and was converting a user app into system app via Titanium backup. The process was taking long time so force closed Titanium Backup app. This caused phone crash and it restarted and hung up at huawei logo.
Now i tried factory data reset and clearing cache in Power and Volume + key mode. It did not work. I tried applying update (two different roms, one custom pakistani rom and other was normal g510-0200 rom) in the same mode but it shows installation aborted.
I tried Forced Firmware Update mode too. I placed update.app file in the sd card and restarted cell phone by holding Volume+, Volume- and Power key. In that mode, it shows unpacking Step 1/2 for a while and then instead of installing, it shows Update Failed.
Error log shows this:
filename = /mmc1/dload/update.app call RCV_MODULE_END_EVENT failed,module = OEMSBL_VER_LIST CMD=0xf,moduleaddr = 0xd2000000, len_tmp=0x4000
I have tried everywhere and I'll be really greatful if you can sort this out for me. :crying:

[Q] Stuck in bootloop (pls move if I'm repeating a tousand other similar Q's!)

Hi there,
I've been a bit of a [email protected] and fudged my Huawei P6. I Was on South African Vodacom Stock Jelly Bean Rom, read this forum and got so excited about the world out there that i thought, why don't i try flashing a rom, i've only bricked a sgs2 and lg-g2 before... I should know what to do by now (never done a day's computer course in my life!)!
So flashed kitkat beta and then tried to flash Kit Kat... I have left the phone for about a week in the hopes I'd come back to it & it would miraculously work as I've read a lot of the forum posts on here and have a gut feeling I'm screwed so hoping one of you Huawei P6 XDA Guru's can Help. From what I remember I did this...
1) Rooted the phone with SRS Root or Root Genius
2) After a few attemps managed to install official kitkat beta from dload/update.app from external SD Card so I could then install official Chinese KiTKAT rom or HYDRO Rom.
3) Played with the kitkat beta for a while all working (bar the beta crashes etc) ( I think at that point I intalled CWMOD or TWRP)
4) It was very late, I should have gone to bed, I'd had a few beers, but no I carried on & was planning to install Hydrorom & (Mis)understood got mixed up with official chinese kit kat rom installation
5) Booted into recovery & flashed official chinense kitkat rom with GAAPS ticked to flash as well (maybe that will tell you guys if I was using CWM or TWRP!)
5.0117...c) If my memory serves me right I didn't (4am idiot/tired/few beers/rushing etc) wipe dalvic or any of that... just flashed from external sd card ZIP streight over kitkat beta (aaaarrgh!)
6) Phone is now stuck in bootloop with Huawei Ascend words first, then loading a Huawei flower logo. Goes no further, just stays on until battery flat...
7) Left phone plugged into power with screen on for a day hoping it was just taking a while to flash rom... & nothing happened
8) Tried the following but hope I'm doing them all wrong and you GURU's will have a giggle at my comlete lack of skills:
a) reboot phone - no luck​b) hold down power & +vol & -vol -... no luck just flower logo again​c) every combination of power and two volume buttons - no luck just flower logo​d) putting folder dload/update.app on external sd card and using b)method to flash update - no luck just flower logo​e) putting stock recovery.img on root of external sd card and doing b) - no luck just flower logo​f) putting all of extracted TWRP download " TWRP_Installer_20140414 on root folder of external sd card - no luck​g) spending 4 hours finding a "how to remove the battery from huawei P6" link and watched a russian guy remove battery on you tube. Did that as read that can reset boot loader/recovery.... no luck​h) downloaded various versions of Android SDK Tools. Phone shows up as a "please insert sd card" in windows file manager and appears "offline" when trying to access it from command prompt ADB etc​
checked that HiSuite was stopped in Task Manager etc, reinstalled drivers etc. One problem I'm hoping you'll all say is 100% to blame for SDK Tools not working is I'm on latest update of Windows 8.1 64bit...
Edit: Read other forum... I see the red led when turning phone on as well...
Edit: Just installed propper android sdk tools not small made up file and now phone changed from showing "offline" to "unauthorised" in adb...
So, please help.

Fixed it
Ok managed to fix this and hope it will help others. Was up till 2am last night after deciding to give it another go after getting no replies! The main problem here must have been that as device was seen as unrecognized on PC and I couldn't get past boot screen so there was no way to allow debugging/authorize I.e. No pop up on phone as stuck in Hauwei flower screen.
Previously I Couldn't get fastboot or adb on PC to do anything, just kept saying phone was offline or unauthorized.
Rebooted phone from boot loop screen of huawei flower on screen holding power and - vol button for a long time until only boots to huawei ascend words logo (phone still plugged into PC), let go of both. PC makes sound to show there is USB device, now it doesn't boot the huawei flower screen just stays on the Hauwei ascend screen (I think normally this would open recovery etc), so maybe it is in recovery just not showing on screen... I don't know?!
Adb devices says no device however... And obviously no adb commands work at all...
However, fastboot commands for some reason work even though devices still shows nothing... so I tried various commands but what worked for me was typing the following in command promt on PC:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (Stock)
Where all the img,zip,app files I was flashing were were in the platform-tools folder where adb and fastboot are.
Then
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. (Stock)
Then I think what did it, I was obviously on a broken twrp recovery... Was I flashed
Fastboot flash recovery twrp_2_6_3_3_recovery.img
To my amazement twrp touch recovery loaded and I could then go about wiping dalvik etc and reflashing all the correct files.
So I'm now finally running HYDROROM_V7
All the files I used are on the hydro rom page here so thanks to them for that! :

Hope this works for all of you stuck in bootloop etc as I really thought my phone was stuffed!
Ciao

Hey very good that you managed to fix your problem, when I first read your question I didn't had any ideas on how to fix it. But you had a bootloop I think and when you press power and vol- until it reboots you come in the bootloader, on our device it only shows the bootlogo so its seems that it is stuck but actually you are in the boot loader and can use fastboot commands. So glad you fixed your problem.

P6 bricked? Stuck on Huawei logo

Hello,
my problem is after trying to revert back to the stock rom I messed things up and I can't get back to fastboot mode.
But I will describe what I did. First thing I did many weeks ago was the installation of cyanogenmod 11 KitKat on the P6.
All worked fine except for the high power consumption. Because of that I decided to switch back to the stock rom.
To do that I have made the following steps.
1. I downloaded the Jelly Bean firmware from the official huawei website. (I can't post the link since I'm a new user)
2. I used the download extractor to extract boot.img and recovery.img
3. I flashed them via fastboot
4. I prepared a SD card with the update.app in the dload folder
5. booted the phone with volume buttons pressed. Update process started but failed. There was no error message only a huge FAIL message.
6. After that I switched back to TWRP recovery what worked fine
7. I build a flashable zip file with the update extractor of boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, cust.img, userdata.img and flashed it via TWRP
8. Than I realised that I mistakenly included the recovery.img which overwrote the TWRP recovery
Now the phone always starts to the huawei logo also when starting with volume buttons pressed. I can't access the fastboot mode anymore.
When shutting it down it reboots instantly.
My questions are the following.
* Can a corrupted recovery block the access of the fastboot mode or any mode to access the phone via USB to flash a new recovery?
* Are there other ways to reset the phone?
* Was it a problem to take a Jelly Bean stock rom after a KitKat installation?
* If the phone is bricked, do you have any suggestion what to do with it? Is it worthless now? Sell on ebay? Hope this is not necessary.
Thank you so much!

When you say its bricked does that mean that it gets stuck on huawei ascend logo? If thats the case than you should be ablr to enter fastbboot since thats the sign you are in bootloader mode.

Well that is what I thought too, but I can't get a connection via adb or fastboot.
"adb devices" lists nothing. When connecting the phone via usb to the computer there is no log entry generated on the computer like it's the case with other usb devices.
I tried different usb cables. I'm unsure how to be really sure whether I'm in fastboot mode or not.
Before flashing the zip everything worked fine so it's very unlikely to be a driver issue or something related to the computer I think.

i have the same problem and i cant communicate with the device in any way but what happen to me that i download a wrong recovery img.
if someone can help please

i fix my phone and get it back to the stock recovery ::victory:

Can you please share how you make it? I have the same problem...

I fixed it by replacing the motherboard using a very detailed tutorial on ifixit.
The P6 is not build to be repaired by the customer but with the right tools it was ok.

I turn the phone in the debug mode and flash the stock recovery back you enter the debug mode by press and hold on the volume down then after it the power for 10 sec. after you plug the phone to the computer via usb then download this file: 4shared.com/rar/9HO06Lpjba/p6_stock_recovery.html
and then unzip the file then open by order
1- adb-windows if you have windows
2- fastboot-windows
3- install-recovery-windows
and restart the phone and you have the stock recovery back

Phone might be bricked. Need help to find a solution!

Hello everyone! Complete dumbass here!
I was following the guide to root my razer phone. I've had it for a couple months, and decided to root it. I followed the guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/twrp-magisk-fullproof-guide-razers-wifi-t3756137
After a couple bumps in the road, such as fastboot commands not working, not being recognized, etc. I finally was able to unlock bootloader and install twrp. But it was #9 that got me stuck again.
"9.) Once in recovery, go to the install button, and select Install Zip, and select Magisk-v16.0.zip."
In recovery, adb devices and fastboot devices yielded no devices attached. Doing a search, I came across another forum post where it states the sdcard is encrypted and can't be accessed in twrp, and the fix is to do something like "Wipe>Wipe Data> Type Yes" and that should factory set the card. I did this and rebooted the device. I waited for a half hour for the animated PixelFloatingInACircle logo to be done with it's floating in a circle, but ended up going to bed and letting it die. Woke up this morning, plugged it in, got the razer logo splash screen with the orange text telling me of my impending doom, then went back to the animation. I let my dog out and came back and it was still on. I unplugged it and am letting it die again to see if there's another solution.
I'm wondering if anyone else came across this issue, and if so, how did they fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

Use the factory images in the developer portal. You have to manually install the fastboot driver or you won't see the phone in fastboot devices. After that you can flash_all.bat.
PS: if you just want root you can use magisk installer to patch the boot image (from the factory images) and then flash the patched_image.img. That's it, now you have root via magisk

The problem is when I try to enter download/recovery mode after charging the battery a little, it doesn't go to that menu. Instead, it skips right to the particle logo, and that's where it hangs.
The only guide I saw was the one I listed. Is there a guide for this magisk installer?(Ya know, in case I figure the first problem out, so I might try my hand at potentially creating another)

i think there is a way to hard reboot the phone, so you can do that and then hold the vol- key to start in bootloader mode when it reboots.
gonna check the correct buttons.
Edit: the button combination is power+vol+ for about 10-15 seconds, and the phone will reboot. You have to connect the phone via usb cable (before rebooting) to the computer (the only thing i'm not sure is if you have to have the fastboot drivers in the pc installed previously or if you can do it after entering fastboot) and just after the screen goes black while hard rebooting you have to release all the buttons and then press and hold the vol- button. The combination of vol- and the usb cable on boot seems to trigger fastboot mode.
I think the guide is in the guides forum, but the way it worked for me was without twrp:
- install magisk manager from this link -> https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases/download/v5.7.0/MagiskManager-v5.7.0.apk
- push your boot.img (the easiest way is getting it from the factory image corresponding to the firmware you are using) to the sdcard
- open magisk manager -> install -> patch image only -> boot.img
- this will generate a patched_boot.img in /sdcard/MagiskManager
- copy that file to your pc
- go to fastboot and flash that patched image: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
- enjoy root, and you can use magisk hide for apps that don't like root

i think there is a way to hard reboot the phone, so you can do that and then hold the vol- key to start in bootloader mode when it reboots.
gonna check the correct buttons

Read the edit, I found that the trigger is having the usb cable connected to the pc. Try that, or you can also try to adb while the device is booting (particles logo). Sometimes adb is responsive even when booting. There you can try to adb reboot bootloader

Edit: the button combination is power+vol+ for about 10-15 seconds, and the phone will reboot. You have to connect the phone via usb cable (before rebooting) to the computer (the only thing i'm not sure is if you have to have the fastboot drivers in the pc installed previously or if you can do it after entering fastboot) and just after the screen goes black while hard rebooting you have to release all the buttons and then press and hold the vol- button.

Progress! Got it into download mode. I have the boot.img I got from razer, should I push that and see if it boots normally?

As you already wiped the data partition, you should use the flash_all script. But yes, you can try flashing each partition

I moved the flash_all script into the tools folder and after a little while, the phone booted up into setup! After a couple taps, I've realized the wifi isn't working, which I know is a known issue. I'm gonna let it sit for the night and finish it in the morning!
EDIT : Soooo, I know I said I was going to bed, but I decided to fix the wifi issue, which in turn, also rooted my phone. I've downloaded the root checker, and it confirms it! Thanks so much Waiflih! You rock!

Hi guys, it seems I'm having the same problem and basically after unlocking my bootloader and flashing twrp to both of my slots I'm stuck on "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" booting up infinitely.
The USB plug in and holding the volume - button doesn't bring up "download mode" and no matter what buttons I try and press on my phone my computer doesn't recognize ANYTHING connected to it anymore.
Bloodeagle, how did you manage to get "download mode" back onto your phone? it seems like mine refuses to do anything like download mode.

Have you tried holding few combinations of different butt9ns for a minute or two to see if that results in you getting in downl9ad mode?
