Hello friends
I had a problem with the mini z11, I have a hard brick.
I wonder if there is any recovery rom, or if the official serves me.
I can flash by nubia Toolstudio?
the terminal does not turn black screen on or enters recovery, flash a rom confusion mini z9.
I need help please, if you recognize the terminal QHUSB_BULK is hope.
Thank you for your interest, Greetings
Still a little bit early for Z11 Mini...
Did you unlock bootloader, rooted and installed some recovery?
Bricked device nubia z11 mini
Hi Guys,
I was looking to update the Nubia to v 2.04 from 1.40 so I used flashify to flash the stock recovery (worked earlier) but the system went dead.
I used tool studio to get the recovery back but now it is not reading my internal storage where the files are kept, it suggest mount error with system, data etc .... so what could be a way forward?

Now I have flashed rom v 1.32 , it is showing splash screen but it hangs at "Be Yourself screen", adb is also not detecting the device to install twrp through pc. Please share some detailed guideline.

Follow this guide to flash twrp, use the vendor id from below guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-0-2-zte-t3550995
Then u flash the rom.
Before flashing the rom, wipe everything expect internal storage and sd card
Need persist.img
Hi,
Have got to know persist.img is corrupt. Hence, flashing is happening but no booting even twrp is not helping. Persist.img is usually found in fastboot img of the rom which helps to install rom in fastboot mode. Kindly do let me know if I can find fastboot.img of Nubia z11 mini.
Thank you
Hello guys,
i have the same brick mode as the op.
The system doesn't recognize the mobile, it only shows it as QHUSB_BULK and it keeps disconnecting.
What are the steps to follow from the pc?
I found somewhere one software called one click unbrick but when i try to install the drivers with it it says that "the system policy has been modified to reject unsigned drivers".
If i can take it to the place where the phone is recognized as a storage from the pc then i can take it from there.
Thanks
Unbrick and downgrade
I once brick my nubia the same way. BUT NOW ITS ALIVE AND WORKS FINE (sulking why didn't I bought the ZUK 2 even though at the time i bought z11mini they were similarly priced)
UNBRICKING:-
ALL you have to do is download the same firmware which was installed prior to the rom to which you downgraded to [ simply put if you had v2.40 running before and tried to install v1.40 then download the v2.40 rom for flashing), once downloaded {USE A PC OR MAC TO DOWNLOAD THE ROM OR ELSE IT MIGHT GET CORRUPT} copy it to the root of an sd card(2gb upto 32gb; sdxc cards may not work), insert the sd card into the phone , then press and hold the power button until the phone reboots, as soon as you see the bootlogo press and hold vol- and power keys simultaneously, you wold boot into nubia recovery now select update from sd card confirm and let it install as soon as update finishes your phone will boot back up normally. [UP TILL THIS POINT NO FILES WOULD BE LOST].
NOW YOUR PHONE WILL BE WORKING AGAIN.
DOWNGRADING:-
YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXTERNAL SOFTWARE FOR THIS
JUST DOWNLOAD THE ROM U WANT TO INSTALL AND PLACE INTO SD CARD AS ABOVE.
TAKE A BACKUP AND SAVE ON A PC, ANOTHER PHONE OR ANOTHER SD CARD{not the same one} OR ANYWHERE ELSE SAFE cause after this everything inside your phone will be DELETED.
BOOT INTO RECOVERY as STATED ABOVE.
-ATTENTION- DON'T install the rom as yet.
FIRST WIPE cache and data.
SECOND- INSTALL THE ROM SIMILARLY AS PRESCRIBED ABOVE.
THE SYSTEM WILL INSTALL AND REBOOT.
ENJOY{but why are you so eager to downgrade your system, i was once as well but after downgrade to lollipop.....nothing......performance was same as on Marshmallow.
ADVICE- for some reason the ota updater never shows any new updates, you will have to download updated roms from nubia website to install using recovery{the app has option to apply local update but it does nothing and gets stuck on nubia logo, u will have to restart your phone after that}, as long as you are installing updates u don't need to wipe data and cache and also your files will remain intact. BUT TO THIS ONLY EXCEPTION IS V2.06, on this you do not need to wipe data and cache but the rom itself will wipe all data on your phone so be careful. :good:

Hi Dudes and Dudettes.
PLease go easy on me - I am a noob.
Ive been handed a HTC ONE X (International version) that is stuck in aboot loop.
On power on, it simply goed to cyanogen load screen, and stays there forever (till the battery runs out or the phone is powered down)
I dont know what has been done to this phone, but I do know the following:
1. It seems to be rooted (Says UNLOCKED in Fastboot/bootloader screen)
2. Has CWM installed, can access it via Recovery.
3. Can not be restored via Backup/Recovery in CWM.
4. Does not have any roms on the device (tried zip file recovery - doesnt work)
5. Wiping of caches doesnt help.
6. Factory reset doesnt work either.
So I am thinking that I should prolly get a rom on the device and install it.
My question is HOW do I get a ROM on this phone if it is stuck in a loop?
Seem like windows picks it up (its visible in device manager) but doesnt show up as a drive in my computer.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Hi everybody,
sorry for bothering you, but I think I might need some help.
I tried to flash ParanoidAndroid (first try ever to flash a smartphone) but failed 'somehow'.
Initial steps to create the problem
Initial Status: Gingerbread on a Galaxy W; Pretty old and pretty messed up
Download the update.zip to root the smartphone => Becoming root worked!
Download ParanoidAndroid
Download Clockwork Recovery
Created backups using Titanium Backup as root.
Copied ParanoidAndroid to the GalaxyWs internal sd card (yes, this was my mistake)
Wipe cach partition => It said, it worked, I don't know if it did
Rebooted phone => all fine
Rebooted into recovery mode applied update from SD-Card=> Selected ParanoidAndroid.zip => ErrorMessage (I think it was something like file corrupt, sorry I'm not sure about the specific words, but it sounded like this is no updatefile or this file is not a valid zip file.
Status of the problem
Bootup shows Samsung Logo
Bootup than shows GalaxyW-Screen Logo
Bootup than shows the android recovery symbol OR directly reboots
When trying to open the recovery menu, every second time I get the message "Updating (...) Installing MultiCSC... Can't access /system/csc/DBT/system"
If opening recovery menu works, I can only acces the internal storage of the galaxy to install an update (tried the paranoidandroid several times, it doesn't work)
When plugging in the galaxy w to my USB port, I don't get an USB storage shown on my 2 laptops (1 "Windows 7", 1 "Ubuntu 14.0?" )
neither odin (4.43) nor Heimdall are able to flash any files.
So, simple question, what can I do next?
-I cannot copy clockworkmod to my smartphone
-I don't know if I can easily overwrite the kernel or the bootloader.
I searched the forum but didn't find a clear solution, so sorry if this special configuration was already asked.
Thanks for your help and best regards

Your ROM's download has been cut either by a connection issue or by you, That is why I always have a backup rom in my SD Card. Also For kitkat, make sure you got CWM 6.0.4.5 or higher. Personally i use PhilZ Touch Recovery. It is simple enough for me. And odin recognizes your phone only in download mode. So make sure you go to download mode then plug the phone in. And also make sure while working with odin, unplug all USBs and other phones
Hey MayB4ck,
thank you for the tips, I finally got it running Using Philz Touch Recovery. Works like hell
Best regards

Hello everyone,
I got my AT&T HTC M9 yesterday with 1.32.502.9. I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP successfully. I tried Installing Android Revolution 4.1 and didn't noticed the installation failed. When I restarted the phone it got stuck on the HTC logo. Someone after messing with the phone I ended up loosing TWRP and I'm back to the stock recovery with only these options:
reboot system now
apply updates from ADB
wipe data/fatory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
apply from phone storage
apply from sd card
My phone is stuck at the logo screen and I cannot sideload or flash anything from the SD memory card or phone storage. My phone gives me an error when I try to flash from the SD card and my computer now does not detect my M9 (all drivers were installed previously as well as the SDK)
I don't want to do anything else yet because I'm afraid I will make things worse. Could any body advice me on how to fix my phone?
Thank you!
I was able to fix it.

You have to switch to the download mode on your M9 and use the fastboot command to flash a custom recovery (TWRP2050 worked for me). Make sure your SDK is up to date and you download and install all the HTC drivers for the M9.

Shut the phone off,wait 10 seconds then hold volume down and start button. After a few seconds, it wil vibrate, release the buttons and it should start in donwload mode (black background).

Turn on you phone and wait about 10 seconds after seeing the HTC logo. Hold down the volume up button and power button for a few seconds until the phone vibrates, as soon as that happens switch to the volume down button and power button that should put the phone in "download mode." Connect your phone to your PC. On your command prompt you can type "fastboot devices" to check and make sure your phone is good to go. After that, you should be able to flash TWRP which in turn would allow you to flash a custom rom and fix your phone.

please be patient
I don`t have m9 now but if you do this solution,maybe your phone boot up again ( this solution works on m8 )
I don`t think your phone bricked or damaged memory
you can do this solution,maybe your phone fixed !
1- charge your phone then update the htc usb driver and adb tools
2- then boot to the bootloader and flash the latest twrp recovery again ( don`t forgot do erase cache)
3- download other rom like viper rom then copy it on the flash memory ( to install rom with otg cable and flash memory)
4-do full wipe ( internal and external memory - system - cache - dalvik cache)
5- install rom from flash memory and do full wipe again in aroma installer
6- then restart your phone and wait to phone boot up again
7- if don`t boot up,go to the bootloader and flash boot.img from rom ( you should extract rom to see it )
after all you can s-off your phone if you like
good work:good:

Thanks for replying but I was able to fix my phone a few hours after. Those are the right steps but you're missing some details. HTC has now changed things a bit and added the "download mode." Flashing in bootloader does not work any more.
Glad your all sorted !
Me 2 help !!!!

Hello everybody,
Here my problem :
I tried to install a custom rom, I failed. Now, my smartphone stay on the Asus logo screen. I tried to follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835 - to fix the problem, but when I connect phone and laptop, adb doesn't find the device.
If I continue and go in recovery mode (using TWRP), laptop can access the phone (I can see internal memory but not external).
And if I try the ADB sideload, there is no device again...
It's the first step, I don't see any other way to unbrick the phone...
Thanks in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256 be lucky your phone is recognized
Hello,
Frist, thank you for your answer. I had already tried this way but nothing. Finally, I fixed the problems (detect phone and unbrick phone).
1-In TWRP, I loaded recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img. Reboot in recovery mod, but I had the dead droid... so I pushed on power and volume up till I have a new screen.
2-In this part, I did a Wipe/Factory reset (useless I think), reboot in recovery mode (still dead droid). This time I selected the line "update with adb" (with an ASUS firmware). Then I had a message who told me update adb sideload. I did it and it installed the firmware. The smartphone reboot correctly.
Now, I have the same problem I had yesterday. In TWRP, my external storage isn't detected...
you use stock recovery or custom recovery, if you use stock recovery external-storage won't detected
Hello,
Thank you Bar4, I explained above how I fixed my problems. Now I'm searching a way to make TWRP (TWRP 3.0) detect my external storage to install Cyanogenmod 13.0. If it's really not possible, I would try with CWM (I have seen it in your screen).
Edit : I guess custom, TWRP. It's why I don't understand why it doesn't allow me to mount SD card or doesn't detect this same SD Card.

i use twrp 3.0 too, but external sd detected. no need to put on external storage, you can flash Cm 13 through internal storage
if you want to install custom rom it's better if you make a backup first, so if happen you failed when installing new rom or maybe you don't like it (new rom) you can go back to stock rom through TWRP restore
Ok, failed again...
Try a different rom or redownload the rom it might have been a bad download.
The error message says there is no updater script in the zip meaning it can't install anything as the updater script tells what directories to install the files if I seen it correctly that is.

maybe the CM 13 zip file you have download corrupted, try to re-download and re-flash it again. if still failed try another rom
( i'm using AICP Rom "based on CM 13 too") try it, it's awesome Rom ---> do clean install wipe all except internal storage and external storage

Hi,
Sorry for this late answer. As I failed to install those roms (CM13, Bliss), I'm going to stop here and wait for the Marsmallow update. But I'm happy my phone isn't brik anymore.
Thank you all.
I made a very noob mistake today. I was going to factory reset my Oneplus 3 in TWRP (recovery) and flash back to the stock rom but I accidentally checked off everything to be erased... which erased my current operating system, along with the stock rom I was going to install :crying:
Now im stuck with no OS, phone won't boot, can only get into recovery etc etc
I tried connecting it to the computer and clicking MOUNT in recovery, my PC detects it, but when I try to drag and drop the stock rom it just hangs there and the file transfer progress bar doesnt move.
What are my options ?
The phone is rooted
You can use sideload from twrp. Or you can put the zip you want to flash in a usb and flash it via otg.

Put the OOS you want to install on a flash memory and use it as OTG from TWRP
As mentioned above, sideload is the easiest way.
Simply follow the steps here:
https://twrp.me/faq/ADBSideload.html
You can transfer data from a pc in twrp so you have loads of options
Push it with ADB
Ex- "adb push (input_file_name) /sdcard/(output_file_name)"
I will try adb sideloading, i had tried that method a while back for installing a rom and had issues, i have windows 10.

Try reflashing twrp from fastboot
I had the same problem when I was trying to upgrade to OOS 4.0. The phone was stuck at bootscreen. I powered it off by holding power button for 10 seconds. I turned it on again and booted in recovery mode. Then I connected my OP3 to PC and I was able to copy the .zip file into the TWRP folder. In recovery mode I installed the latest firmware from the .zip file.
Maybe I should mention that the OS I'm using is Arch Linux. My PC instantly recognized my phone.
