[Q] Hard bricked my Mate, anything else before I send it in?

Hey everyone, I think I've really screwed it up.
I was trying to install a TWRP recovery, the phone rebooted and it's stuck at the Ascend logo screen. It won't turn off, and no combination of power and volume buttons will make it do anything at all. It just stays at that screen until the battery goes dead. Once I plug in the charger it just starts up back to the logo screen and hangs.
Holding the power button, either alone or with other combos of volume buttons, causes the phone to power off and then it automatically restarts to the logo screen and hangs.
The LED is slowly pulsing an amber color.
ADB doesn't recognize it ("device not found").
Tried putting the stock ROM update into a dload folder on the SD card but it's not doing anything, even with the power+volume combo.
So Huawei is ready to send a messenger to pick up my phone for repair (which I bet they will charge me for). Does anyone have a suggestion I should try before I send it back?
Thanks

maybe you can get into the bootloader mode..don't know if there's a specific button combo for the mate..if so and it seems to stuck at a logo try to connect to the pc and make an adb request (adb devices)..
once your mate is found you can install a stock recovery again and then a stock OS..
just an idea of mine..
hope you get it running..

That was only thing what worked.. adb didnt show it on device list.
You need to reboot phone and push Power + volume down. and then it regonize and you can use that tool..

It's stucked becouse you forgot to unlock bootloader.. you need to only to click unlock boot loader on that tool and phone works.

Power off completely, then hold volume up and power to get to bootloader. Press volume down until you get to recovery and hit power button. It should reset and then a android appears. If it then says error hold power and press up volume. You should get to recovery menu that way.
Wipe cache...
Reboot and see what happens...

Try tapping up volume 3 times but remember to let go of power at roughly the same time or 10 seconds later the phone will power off...

It just do not enter this recovery mode... no matter what

Did anyone ever resolve this issue?
Mine is the same and won't boot up, just vibrates once and does nothing....

i resolved simply reflashing the old pre rooted firmware 2.19.40.18 and installing ota 2.19.40.20 with adb sideload after complete unroot with supersu.i forgot to uninstall xposed and this was the reason of my botloop after update to 2.19.40.20.luckily i had twrp so before reflashing i backupped all my stuff.that's it.you need to reflash droidboot,recovery,boot and system imgs from bootloader with the usually way.no other way out.hope you installed a custom recovery before loop,so you can backup

I have the same problem

my device is in error screen, and with the dead robot.

Hi guys, please help, maybe some of you could do that for me... Problem is strange and I just did not find solution jet... So, I just can not power down my ZE551ML completly. Device is trying somehow to boot up, getting some kind of loop. First of all, phone came to me totaly dead - I have to plug it in to charger for 3-4 hours to ligh up notification led... After that it turned on normally. After first boot and setting things up, updates showed up. So I did update - for 4 times, OTA. It looks ok (now I have 2.20.40.90 clean, I mean no root or unlocked BL). But strange comes when I want to turn it off (power down) - device is shutting down, screean is going black and... bum! - the battery icon is showing up: emty for the very first few seconds, then it changeing to green (showing actually power state, I mean accu capacity), then device reboot itself and whole process starts over and over again... I can not stop it. Well, I think if the battery would be full, that could completly discharge it - couse is unstopable... I found, that when I press vol- when the battery is green, phone shuts off its screen, but after 20 seconds the process begins over again... i can boot it normally by pressing vol+ and power - it leads me to the bootloader manu, then boot normally - done. but it is very annoing... beside that phone is ok. Can someone help? BTW - I did factory reset from stock recovery, but it did not help...

I had the same problem. My solution was to unplug the usb charger. After that, the update was successfully.

on me Z007 I did a factory reset because my phone would not start and when it did it kept giving me messages about unfortunately this stopped and that stopped BBM, Zenui, google play store etc. Once i did the factory reset the phone worked again but I had no data so I thought I would just restart. Now all I get is ASUS and the spinning wheel. any suggestions??

Hello, I own model Asus Zenfone 2 laser 5.5 ( ZE550KL ) I have also same problem, phone keeps on rebooting....... Showing Asus logo and then vibrates and again start rebooting
I have installed asus firmware from SD card from recovery mode which was successfully installed .... did every thing after pressing volume and power button and even performed necessary actions by doing fastbood mode.
but phone is on same condition.... showed every where.. even service center people raised there hands
Kindly help me to recover my phone back.

Nexus doesn't boot

I'm using pure nexus rom for a while now and didn't give any kind of problem. Was casually using whatsapp on phone and battery was around 50%, phone suddenly started to vibrate. It vibrated for around 10 secs and it finally got shutdown. Now, It doesn't power on. I can enter into bootloader by holding vol down + power button for several seconds (than what it usually takes), but after entering bootloader, it doesn't go into recovery or start the phone. restart bootloader function is restarting bootloader normally but boot into recovery and power on doesn't work. Google logo appears for few seconds and again powers down. Please help! Thanks in advance!!

Fastboot and flash it? It's encrypted. I don't wanna loose my data. But will consider if nothing else works.

i have same shi* trying to flash recovery via fastboot and see if it loads....

@cbhhargava: if fastboot connects, you can erase both of the caches and fladh PureNexus.zip. Without erasing /data. Fastboot-syntax.

didn't work... tryinf to flash stock image via fastboot...

didn't helped either... used Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock image - still no change. blackscreen after Google boot screen, i'm starting to think it's hard bricked either soft bricked....

then there's the oven-procedure (it's described here often): if it boots after heating, you can save your data and let replace mainboard.

Same issue

Lenovo p2 can't boot

Hello,
6 Months ago I dropped my P2 and I doesn't work since that.
As I don't have a working phone anymore I'm trying to see if I can fix it or not.
When I try to boot it by pressing the power button it just vibrates once and nothing appear on the screen (which I think is dead) or on the led and after a moment it does the same if I press the power button a moment again.
If I try to access recovery by pressing the vol+/- and power button it vibrates a long time and the lud turns blue. This is the only moment where my phone is recognized on windows (as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostic 900E)
When I try to charge it the led turns red for 1 or 2 seconds and then it vibrates then nothing.
I opened it to check if the motherboard was looking damaged but I can't see anything.
I tried to remove the screen and it changes nothing except that I don't have any blue led and long vibrating trying to access the recovery and that I can't boot it normally multiple times (I have to disconnect the battery to power it off so I can try again)
I did remove and reconnect the battery between each test.
I did some research on the web and the phone seems to act as if it was hardbricked.
Do you think there is anything that can be done to fix it or is it definitely dead ?
Thanks,
(Hope my english isn't too bad)

It is hard to say but it sounds like there is an hardware issue on your phone.
maybe this can be a interesting phone for @mikeioannina (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75275983&postcount=731 ) if the screen is still working.

I don't know the real solution but this may help.
I faced this issue before but without dropping it , it was after flashing an os , anyways i went to dowload mode
and reflashed twrp recovery and booted to it via adb then changed data partition to ext4 and the phone booted normaly . if you can access twrp try it , hope that helps

Can I buy your phone

Can't access download mode - bricked phone?

I'm pretty sure I permabricked this phone by:
* reflashing the stock system image
* flashboot --set-active=_b
* flashboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img
Now I can't boot or access download mode - I was able to before by holding the volume down button when powering on.
Each of these steps I'd done many times before trying to getting a bootable LineageOS install. I was actually pretty close - ran into the enter decryption key problem, used twrp to "format data" to try to get a fresh decrypted data partition, but was now stuck at the endless os boot animation.
I had read the suggestion to reflash the stock image and try again when having this kind of issue. It seemed safe, I had done it before, but I think that this time for some reason, it left me in a bricked state.
Any suggestions for getting out? I'm basically stuck on the first black and white Razer logo screen that says "Powered by android". The phone isn't detectable as a USB device on any of my computers anymore and nothing I do seems to be able to get it into download mode.

I have done that a few times. Each time I powered on the phone and left it at the black and white razer logo screen until the battery drained. Then I plugged the phone into the wall charger for a few hours to make sure it was full again. Then I plugged the phone into my pc and do the volume down and power thing to get into download mode. I don't know why draining the battery and charging it helped me out, but I have had to do it a few times because I got stuck on that razer logo screen just like you are now.

I have always had to press 3 buttons not 2 to get into download. Vol down, power, and home (s7) or Bixby (s9). If I did not get them all right, I got your results.

No luck with waiting for the battery to die or the 3 button salute - pretty sure I'm hosed here. Let my experience be a lesson to others, Razer phones are quite easy to brick!

Razer phone has no physical home button. Only possible way is plugged usb from a non charging source like a computer or another phone and Vol down + power or plug in usb from a computer while volume down is held down.

So have you tried the following?
Hold volume up and power for the phone to hard shutdown and as soon as the screen goes black, let go of all buttons then plug a usb c to a cpmputer first then before pluging anything to the phone, hold volume down and as you are holding volume down, plug in the cable to the phone?

So have you tried the following?
Hold volume up and power for the phone to hard shutdown and as soon as the screen goes black, let go of all buttons then plug a usb c to a cpmputer first then before pluging anything to the phone, hold volume down and as you are holding volume down, plug in the cable to the phone?

This thread popped up under "participated" somehow - did not note it wasn't Samsung- lol.

Hold power and volume up for a minute or more till it fully powers down. I don't remember having another device that took as long as this one to hard reset.

No luck with waiting for the battery to die or the 3 button salute - pretty sure I'm hosed here. Let my experience be a lesson to others, Razer phones are quite easy to brick!

The trigger to enter fastboot seems to be holding the "vol down" key AND the usb cable attached to the pc. You should connect the cable first and then do the hard reboot+release keys+hold vol down

No difference. Always worked for me with phone powered off and holding the vol down and then plugging it in, tried that too and didn't work for me.

Hi i have found company (if you google "arykstore") that deals with hardbrick issues. They just started unbrick project on razer phone after my request for help. If they rise money to obtain working razer device they will extract and provide essential filles to resurrect any hardbricked razer phone.
