hi guys, i got a new HTC ONE M8 from China Mobile 3 days ago, when i got home i realized that it works with Sina Weibo instead of asking me for my google acount like all the previous Android phones i had before, i went to the store asked for a refund.. not happening. I paid 800 bucks for a phone i cant use.. so i went ahead and tried to solve the issue and root it, i followed a threat here every instruction but i messed up somehow and at the end i wasnt able to enter the recovery mode, so i couldnt install the rom i downloaded (this is the guide i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705292 ) so being unable to do anything i went to a tech today, he charged me 100 bucks to "solve the problem" and he was able to S-OFF the phone and i was finally able to get into recovery mode with TWRP but he said he didnt have any rom cause the phone was too new.. so i came back home where i had the ones i downloaded from the link i posted above... followed the insutrctions and installed the rom, everything seemed to be fine but then when it rebooted, nothing happens, the phone is stuck on fastboot mode and wont load into the operating system, i have tried to reboot a million times, updated the kernel , updated the twrp... still nothing. i am in china and have been trying to find another tech.. no luck at all. can someone help me or give me ideas on what to do? i would really appreciate the help!

You should be able to just flash any GSM ROM unless the Chinese model is a different variant. You could have bricked it, never a good idea to flash incorrect ROM for a device.
May I ask what ROM did you flash and for what device?

What does "totally dead" mean? Any charge LED? Any response when connected to a computer.
Also, not a good idea to dig up a thread from 5 months ago, with limited relevance. The top post did different steps, and was stuck in fastboot, which doesn't sound the same as your situation.

Hi, I have the gx8 mexican version, rio 03

Just unlock bootloader , flash TWRP and make a full backup ... in this way you don't need stock rom ... you can easily restore backup if something goes wrong

But... how can I unlock the bootloader of this version?
Im kinda scared because some comments I just saw out there.
I have the RIO-L03, just go to the huawei sight [google bootloader unlock hauwei] and follw the directions, once you unlock the bootloader then find the twrp 3.0.0.1 version in this forum and follow the intrustions for flashing ... then roots easy from there.

You can get stock rom from Huawei website. Direct download of the RIO-L03 B141 package: http://consumer.huawei.com/us/suppo...0=Mobile Phones&key1=Smartphones&key2=RIO-L23
The most uptodate TWRP recovery is 3.0.2: https://dl.twrp.me/rio/

What is the link to the bootloader unlock page you speak of, the only one I've found weeks ago has not worked in quite some time and I've spoken to several people @ Huawei and there is no update or reason as to why it's not working, OR if/when it will be fixed.

So there's no way to bootloader unlock this phone right now ? :/
so now no way to unlock the damn bootloader !

Negatory. Nope. The page still does not work. You can use gatesjr's debloat tool, which is just as effective by disabling all the stuff you decide to disable which will hide and remove the items from the phone you want to disable, and stop from running in the background.

Hello,
The Xiaomi 9 SE Global Unlocked of my girlfriend was restarting a lot (restart loop) and I tried to flash a ROM but I accidentaly flashed and locked the mobile on a "MIUI version that can´t be installed on this device" (grus_global_images_V12.0.2.0.QFBMIXM_20200910.0000.00_10.0_global)
The problem is the phone was wiped and I cant unlock the phone now. What to do? I can´t flash another ROM or unlock it and I just have access to Recovery Mode and Fastboot mode.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
It´s 4 am where I live and I´ll go to bed... But Will read here as soon as I´m awake. Thanks a lot in advance.
Let me continue my story... I still need help.
I contacted an authorized and he helped me to EDL a flashed version and I reinstalled the MIUI 12.0.2 Global stable on the phone.
But the phone is still TURNING OFF BY ITSELF (this was the reason because I tried flashing it on the first place). I don´t know the cause but it does not seems to be a faulty battery. I heard the phone has Anti RollBack protection. Is it right?
So I need help on how to procced. I would like to RollBack it to MIUI 11 where I didn´t had this problems...
Unfortunately you can NEVER go back once you flash a ROM on Xiaomi devices. However that doesn't prevent you from flashing custom ROMs.
Though you still need to be careful, because once flashed there is no going back.
I recommend testing the ROM on an emulator before flashing it. Here is how.
Also don't forget to check for your rollback protection index and the ROM's index before flashing.
Follow this post and scroll down to "How to find rollback index of images".

If Fastboot works, this means your phone is not bricked.
Just make sure your bootloader isn't relocked.
Then flash stock rom 12.5.1 using MiFlash, better than CMD command. You get to see errors in Miflash.
If it fails, then change USB port in your PC. ( USB ports on the back are recommended)
Good luck.

Dude we don't speak German you would have to use Google translate to tell us what it says in English. What did you do to your Poco f3 that bricked it? Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Because it looks to me like 20 threads a day are created for this phone by people who aren't actually into development but just want help, which is fine but it's not what xda is for.

I haven't tried it dude. And I wouldn't. That could actually brick the phone. Older peograms may not agree with our A/B POCOF3 partitions.

This is super easy to fix. Take a look at this video.
never use clean all and lock option to avoid brick
I tried downgrading my Moto G30 from Android 12 to Android 11 using an available stock ROM I found on the internet. At first, I faced some problems and a soft brick, but finally, I was able to flash and boot it correctly. Then, knowing that the ROM flashed was "stock," I decided to relock the bootloader, which was a mistake. After rebooting, I got the message "No valid operating system could be found. The device will not boot."
I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to get it working again. The main problem here is that I relocked the bootloader and can't get to the OS again to enable the option in developer settings to re-unlock it and flash another ROM. I tried using RSA (LMSA) to restore it, but it refuses, and I think it gets the same error that won't let me flash anything to the phone.
During my research, I found that one possible solution is to boot in EDL mode and flash everything again, but I don't want to open my phone and do weird things to get into that mode. Hopefully, there's another solution or another way to get into EDL.
If you have any information that could help me solve this, please comment.
I had the same problem with mine. The thing is, i tried to flash a blank-flash image but it wont go. I think its to early to downgrade your Moto G30, but you can try to flash the stock image in EDL Mode by opening your Motorola. Also you might need to send it to Motorola. Sorry
In the image you have the EDL Test Point you must brick.
But also you can try

Don't you need to just blankflash it in EDL?
And yes you most likely need to open it.
For the Blankflash you need to download Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant (since lenovo produces moto phones). What this does it installs the correct drivers for your phone.
And the files can be found here : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/caprip/blankflash/
Good luck and as always, do your own research!

I think you can flash with Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant or manually, the XML is to flash automatically, you can flash manually each image.
If you cant maybe there is an error along the way.
I might look into this later. I would lock my bootloader to test but i dont have a backup.

I dont have a test device right now so i cant test myself, anything I say might be wrong.
This might be a complete brick because of the downgrade from what I've read.
There is little info on the forum about this issue so I don't want to make wrong suggestions until i can test.
Yes, unfortunately, there is still little information about the Moto G30. But I hope that there will be more information and solutions in the future.

Maybe you can help me with some info i am interested in.
1.You have booted into EDL using Short Pin method
2.You have used blankflash successfully
3.Then you try to flash manually and got Permission Denied?
For both Android 11 Stock ROM and Android 12 Stock Rom?
EDIT: Is the back of the phone glued? Or just clamps so you can put it back with no glue?
Since i want to test this soon hopefully.

1. Yes

3. Then in fastboot tried to flash the android 11 stock and after it failed the android 12 stock image. Also i tried the RSA varient. Both will not work.
The back is clicked in place. There are two stickers on the phone. Two white ones, One on the top left corner and one on the bottom of the phone.
But careful when you open the back. The screws are well screwed and the cap over the motherboard is slightly stuck. Maybe this will help you: Dissasembly Moto G30 YouTube
@U_ShowcaseDev Thank you so much! This is exactly what i wanted to know!
