Hi,
On my Note 2 7100 , I have given my phone to service centre guys to upgrade to 4.3 from 4.1.2.
After they attempted to upgrade the phone is not booting
The system status says Custom and they say it because you have rooted your phone and we cant help.
But before I gave my phone to them I have checked the phone there was no super user also every screen was looking official.
So I am not really sure if my phone was ever rooted or they screwed up my phone.
According to them if i install the old firmware my phone should boot.
But since I have no idea how it was rooted i am not able to do any thing.
Please help ... Urgent

Flash a custom ROM using ODIN Guide here. dun use the odin in the description. It's outdated. use this instead. Flash a custom ROM (or official) (official 4.3 has kies though) If u wan 4.3 without bloatware, try this.
Hope I helped!
which rom should i use
Hi,
I have tried to flash it with stock rom but its not booting.
Which rom should I use to flash the device now ?
Keep pressing buttons continuously for download mode
Then the upgrade failed message will go and then it will enter into download mode. after this you can try again.

Do a mega wipe (if u dun mind). The service guys may have put in a wrong modem so, flash a modem for ur phone. Download ur modem here. This fixed my phone 5 minutes ago when i accidentally flashed a N7100 ROM (Ditto Note 3) on my N7105.

On 551 Z00A or AD the official downgrade version of LP WW-52.20.40.196 firmware from any M stock firmware - via sd card
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1T6SMJiUSg&feature=youtu.be
Success -- Downgrade of MM to LP works with the downgrade firmware above , works via update from sd in MM recovery ------- Marvelous
Stays on` updating IFWI ` for approx 8 mins but after that - bingo !
It also erases data after which it didnt updating in same OS
Also , i set it up -- after a reboot , it detected .134 and ..144 and .184 MM update packages and now also should detect .223 latest firmware if on ext SD if written like mentioned and shown in the video !
The above LP downgrade version is detected in .223 latest M firmware after a reboot.
Some pics
Seeing a lot of people bricking their devices downgrading to LP from M .
There is now no need for all these bricks when we can downgrade via M recovery to LP via ext sd card .
If you are on a stock rom MM bl and rooted TWRP ..you just need to flash stock boot.img and recovery for the MM build you are on . Reboot to stock M recovery. Follow above procedure.
If you are on M bl custom Rom and rooted TWRP but have no stock M back-up , flash back boot.img and recovery for.134 , sideload .134 stock. Then downgrade
That above applies to 551 Z00A .
Merry Xmas to all at XDA --Still seeing people looking to downgrade from M to LP even after posting this method above via ext SD card - WOW
So , my present to you is a video of the above process
Say NO to anymore bricks Say NO to ever having to use xFSTK downloader again
This makes our phones fully , changeable forwards and backwards via SD card (for good)
The process will go from .184 M to .196 LP on the 551 Z00AD or Z00A
If you Have MM bl custom rom - use giovix`s Modder tool to `return to stock option` flash boot.img - flash recovery option in Modder . Follow process.
Video Coming Soon ...........
Ps, i assume the process will be exactly the same for Z008 from the latest Stock M to LP but using the relevant downgrade version(whatever that is) from official ASUS site for Z008
I dont have a Z008 so if anyone wishes to attempt it and give me your results here , that would be great for others
pps, i decided to do the video due to either people dont trust this method or people are extremely shy about hitting the thanks button . Whichever -- help others
Yup, using the Asus files to downgrade from MM to LP bricked my brother's phone. I've tried a few methods with xFSTK to fix it but nothing has worked so far. Looks like the phone will be recycled Oh well, he seems pretty happy with his Samsung Note 3 for now

You need to have a working device to downgrade via SD :good:
Okay, I was able to restore stock MM to the phone which is what it has before it bricked. Problem now is that I can't verify the Google account I tried both of my google accounts without success. I'll have to find some other method.

But you was bricked a moment ago - no comprehendi ?:laugh:
If you used xFSTK you wouldnt need to downgrade , you would be in LP already.
If done on another device try later , maybe a reboot :good:
I was bricked and was able to iFSTK to get into the bootloader. I then used the Asus Flash tool to flash an MM raw file to at least get the phone booted. I was happy until I was stuck at the set up screen with no way to verify the google account.
Now its time to party vid coming soon .
All the very best wishes to each and all

MM raw file Hey , please share here ?
If there even is a MM raw file that is
Flash 5.0 raw for 5.0 then you wont need to downgrade btw
And this is nothing to do with downgrading via SD card btw - off topic
I believe I used the MM ww raw file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256

Hi , I understand where you went wrong , you flash raw again in boot loader ,where it stays on ' RESULT=OK ' a couple of mins into flash in on screen cmds , you close flash tools . Force close it...restart flash tools .put all stuff in again ...then press vol+ once.
Leave connected to PC from first part flash all the way through closing flash tools and restarting flash ..do not touch fone apart from vol + before second flash.
Serial will be corrected and you will boot into system.
There is a vid of this exact process in my unbrick thread.
Enjoy
Ps , I never let the first flash finish , due to knowing above process to correct serial..
So if you run into probs , you may need to re flash in xfstk again.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! It worked.
This is what I did to cause the loss of serial #:
used the sd card method to downgrade from MM based on instructions from another forum (i.e. not XDA);
phone got stuck at the erasing portion of the process and stayed there for about 45 minutes so I powered off the phone;
used xFSTK to successfully flash the bootloader
successfully flashed MM raw file with Asus Flash Tool;
tried to downgrade to LP again and bricked again;
used SFSTK again but serial # was now abcde... in bootloader so I used Asus Flash Tool again. AFT never finished flashing a ROMand the phone was stuck on the bootloader screen with "Result: okay" so I just shut down the phone and left it off until I saw your post this morning.
Edit:
I set up the phone ran software update option from settings but the Android Version is 5.0? Also, when I boot into fastboot, I see the serial # as abcde... but I can get the proper serial # by pressing the volume up and down keys a few times. Lastly, my SD card is not seen in recovery but is seen in the ROM. When I boot to recovery from the bootloader, I see this:
Android system recovery <3e>
LRX21V.WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.20.40.198_20160930_8756_user
E:file path/tmp/last_install
E:file path /cache
E:file path /tmp
Finding update package
Opening update package
E: file path:/sdcard/MOFD_SDUPDATE.ZIP
E: failed to map file
SD installation aborted.
E: Installation failed with status 1
I'm not too worried as these things are cosmetic. The important thing is the phone now works
Just to clear things up.
You never bricked your device using the method in the OP regarding downgrading via sd card. So not to scare people off .
Mofd sdupdate method is for adb sideload using a cable.
In the video it shows how files must be written when downloaded for each stock firmware in file manager in the first few mins. To be recognised from ext sd
Lastly , 2.20 in firmware or raw = LP
4.21 = M which doesn't have a raw yet unless I missed it coming about

Same Problem My HTC 10 (US Unlocked) seems to be no longer recognizing the cellular radio I was switching between ROMs and I received an error when Android booted saying that decryption was unsuccessful and I had to factory reset the device. After performing the factory reset I was unable to connect to the mobile network, when I looked into the settings the IMEI was listed as Unknown. I have advance wiped data in TWRP by formatting everything on the phone and trying to reinstall Viper 10 (with encryption disabled) Restored the matching firmware and reinstalled Viper 10 with encryption disabled and even flashed the most recent stock RUU. I have never tried switching between US and EU firmware, From other treads I've noticed people had problems with their HTC 10's service by trying to switch from Sprint to Unlocked US.
Three things
1. LeDroids 8.0 requires 8.0 firmware
2. Purefusion os not sure why but I have signal
3. You maybe able to flash the ruu for your phone to recover.
As above... HTC Oreo firmware is required to run a HTC based Oreo ROM.
As noted in my opinion, once you upgrade to Oreo you cannot go back to N, you will loose cell service.
So next steps... Flash Oreo firmware.. flash Oreo ROM & profit.
You may need to do a full /data format prior to flashing.
You may also have to go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change the preferred network type there depending on your carrier, I have Verizon and I have to do that when I restart the phone.

If you installed the Oreo Firmware you have to stay on an Oreo ROM right now. Make sure you have the latest TWRP, wipe everything, format data (not wipe) then reinstall Lee's ROM.

sad thing is that that did't work for me on Tmobile with Pure Fusion Os 8.0 or any other non Sense based rom
Im having the same issue. Mistakenly updated with the latest Leedroid without flashing OREO first. It wasnt ovbious from the Leedroid.co.uk page. Now after reflashing several RUU my IMEI is showing as unknown. I have S-OFF now so hopefully there's some way of fixing my screw up.

Flash the Oreo RUU for your CID/MID and you should get it back
or
Flash the Oreo firmware (That matches your CID/MID) that I linked for your phone above (might as well just use the wipe one which is what I used to get my phone back)
Flash TWRP (if you used the fullwipe without TWRP, if not skip to the next step)
Install an Oreo based Rom (You can't go back to N or before)
Thanks, that worked
How do you flash the oreo firmware? with fastboot or through twrp? I did the same thing, now I'm stuck trying to fix my phone. I tried download mode through fastboot and through twrp, neither worked for me.

He did as the post before his suggested. (and many other posts here on XDA regarding Oreo update)
You have to install Oreo RUU or Oreo firmware + Oreo rom.
It's as simple as that.
Since I have no clue what variant/model of HTC 10 you have from what little you posted, I can't/won't direct you to a specific RUU or firmware.
But the info needed to determine that, has been posted many times.

Hi!
So i bought this phone not too long ago (about 2 months) and i heared of people getting offical oreo update
My model is the L-21 C432 with the custom version C432D001
i can't seem to get the update throught the official updater and the Huawei rom finder app fails to download the rom with both proxy and dns ways
i installed TWRP in hope of backing up the system and trying stuff on my own but that also fails as i can't backup system partition . . .
So my question is : How can i update this device to an Oreo Rom (Treble preffered) ?

My opinion is there is little to no need to backup nougat. Because there is a "roll-back" firmware available and also when you upgrade to Oreo the partition table gets changed , so the twrp backup will not work anyhow.
To make ylur update, if ota is not working, then search for and use "hwota".

So i checked the HWota methode and it seemed very legitimate .... well when i tried it i even got the EMUI logo and beneath it it says Updating ... at 100 percent the phone rebooted and .... nothing happened, not even data was erased ... well actually 2 things happened :
- My bootloader was locked back and now i have stock recovery ( which is nice tbh i was looking for ways to get it back .. and i still got the unlock code so i'm good to go )
- My phone now actually notified me that there is an OTA update to Oreo and that's the thing i was looking for .... so did it work ? kind of , did i fulfill my goal ? Yes i did and Thank you so much

i actually used the full OTA of Oreo ... that's why i said nothing happened ... it did not update even tho it brought new features like AI Lens ...
i noticed another thing ... the write recovery bat file detected that my rom was on OREO ... which wan't the case it was still androind 7.1 EMUI 5
Well i've been running Oreo since 3 days Now
Great new features to the camera and some minor battery life improvements

Hi, how you got android Nougat 7.1?
I bought the same phone model BND L21 C432 with Nougat 7.0 and updated to 8.0.0.330 with FF app, but after that FF never works to update to new updates like 8.0.0.331 which is the latest for our device. How can I update to latest firmware or to Nougat 7.1 manually or with HWota without unlock bootloader ? (my bootloader is locked).
Any tips will be helpful, I'm new to this tipe of phone which is flashing different from my old Galaxy S5, thank you.
Actually, the latest is 8.0.0.332 from 2 days ago.

I don't think you can do much with a locked bootloader i'm sorry
i'm also not used to this new method of flashing as i used primarely samsungs before too
There is However a service to unlock your bootloader for 4€ even after Huawei shut down the unlock website ... if you can pay that's great but if you can't or you are not willing to you can always wait as somd people will figur out the way the unlock code is generated / stored

i installed TWRP in hope of backing up the system and trying stuff on my own but that also fails as i can't backup system partition . . .
So my question is : How can i update this device to an Oreo Rom (Treble preffered) ?

I couldn't follow what you said but to make myself clear ... i used HwOta methode and updated to Oreo .... Hwota failed but when i booted the rom i got Ota update from settings ... how ? i still don't know maybe Hwota updated the cust partition (almost certain) so my device was eligible for update ....
Now i'm rocking LOs Beta 5 and it's working fine so far except for the secondary camera Focus thing ...

Well, to make it as clear as possible, if the update is officiall why we need twrp for update? When checking the desired ROM it's approved for installation, however when trying to update at 5% it says failed. My broadband is down, so can use my phone only, and the HwOTA is for pc

Oh Ok
I think you need TWRP to flash the stock recovery that has "cached code"
Basically the recovery you flash will have a specific commande to flash the stock rom from a specific directory in sd card ... this is why you DON'T change the name of any Folder / File during the HwOta flashing unless you know how to mess with Updater script file
Appart from that i still don't know any method on how to do this without PC even if Ota is approved .... i suggest you to tether your Internet to your pc ... as far as i remember Emui had that feature

Will give it a try, thanks.
I'm trying to update my Redmi Note 8 Pro global from 12.0.8 to 12.5.1 manually since it doesn't find new updates no matter what i do.
I downloaded the ROM and selected it in "Choose update package", it tries to verify the update for a few seconds then just show me the message "Can't verify update. Couldn't verify update package." or "Can't verify update. Can't flash this stable ROM."
I tried to install it via USB flashing it with mi flash tool, still got the same message.
Does anyone know a fix for this, or at least why this is happening? Any help are appreciated.
Unlock bootloader, download the appropriate ROM for your version of smartphone (fastboot version), delete the check from the flash bat and you can flash. First try flashing, see if it boots. If everything is OK, you can try flash and lock.

is there any way to do this without unlocking bootloader?
If you are scared of losing the warranty, you wont once you relock the bootloader. Any other way, you ve tried it and it didn't work

It's not about the warranty, it's about my bank apps that might not work with the bootloader unlocked.
I'm going to do some research on how to unlock and lock the bootloader, as I didn't know it was possible to lock it again. Thank you for your help!

I fear that you might have misunderstood me. You cannot relock the bootloader while running a modified stock rom/custom rom. You can only relock the bootloader on a stock rom.

Are you running the latest stock version of your rom? Then, if you plan on using a smartphone with a locked bootloader, you already are. With a locked bootloader you won't get unofficial updates.

The rom from Xiaomi.eu is a custom rom. Xiaomi.eu is a group of enthusiasts who modify the stock Xiaomi rom, adding and removing features. Make no mistake, that's a custom rom. Close the bootloader with that one installed and you hard brick your device. The method I told you is the official one, which makes downgrading and upgrading your phones super easy. Now, if you want to flash a different version of the stock rom to your phone and lock the bootloader afterwards, be careful. There were reports that nothing happened and everything worked, but unfortunately not that many. A different stock rom might have a different cell tower reception, not adjusted to your country. So you might get less reception.

Hey today my phone unlocks so i will be doing the update. I just wanted to ask that on website:- https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/apollo/ there is miui updates (i downloaded a fastboot 5.2g latest one 12.5.10.0) and firmware of 150mbs. So i have to install both firmware and miui rom? Or just stock miui rom? I read somewhere that firmware is for user which come from very old stock rom to latest one. So how to install firmware?
