[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btrung:
yes I did

from what's i'm seeing, the only way to save this phone is to have adb to restore the backed-up oeminfo, which is unlikely to have at this point

p/s look at the bright side, now we know what happens when one does that

hi , i tested your last LineageOs , it's awesome. Nougat UI is really beautiful. i can confirm 3 bug in your LineageOs 14.1 update :

1) in only LTE network mode, i can receive calls but can not make calls. i solve this by using LTE/WCDMA mode. :D

2) quick tile flashlight bug again :D

3) video recording shaking

also in call noise fixed by changing this :

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none

to this :

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluencepro

in build.prop

with normal kernel ROM is a little slow. but with NATO66613's r6beta kernel, ROM is very smooth.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
Yes, I think I got whole saga - you said My phone no longer recognize sim card after flashing OCT-N-M1-20170413-Y550. I tried flashing another rom, revert back to stock, still doesn't recognize sim card. Is this hardware problem or something I can fix?

IMEI Unknown <--is this the problem? and later it is now, i was stupid enough to restore the oeminfo.epb. now it boots into fastboot with locked bootloader and no recovery. Officially dead.

So did you have IMEI and SIM function loss after only flashing Oct-N, or had you done something else, or had you already run operations that might alter volumes other than data, system, cache, boot, recovery, - like oeminfo restore? PW.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andissace:
dont use oeminfo.epb i said its from my phone and if you install it on your phone imei will be not visible and to recover it is kinda hard!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
So that was

the start

of problems, not flashing Oct-N? Makes more sense.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btrung:
i dont think that'll help at all, cuz imei is blank, baseband is blank, no recovery, not even default one, bootloader broken, showed on screen as locked, showed unlocked in fastboot, no adb, this is is a $60 paper weight now. Those services need at least working imei afaik

also Y550 is listed as basic update flashing only on that site

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

no that was not, it was updating march24th to april13th was where i lost my baseband and imei

pls note it was L02 and was not using the official twrp but the modified one for L02-03> all that combined i think is the real problem here
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
Yes, but did you read:

Huawei Bricked phone repair guide with DC Phoenix?

Claims -

"Exclusive features:

Repair Huawei firmware problems (Bricked, Bootloop,

stuck on Fastboot mode

etc.)

Can write firmware by fastboot with locked bootloader

and locked FRP!

Huawei Firmware UPDATE.APP file direct writing in fastboot

Full erase and write full factory images in fastboot (DC Unlocker factory images in format DGTKS)

Any rom writing in fastboot without signature and compatibility checking! . . ."

Seems you still have fastboot, and seems DC factory images restore bootloader among many other partitions, eg:

honor 6 h60-L04 partitions:

MD5RSA

CRC

CURVER

VERLIST

PTABLE

XLOADER

FASTBOOT

FW_LPM3

FW_HIFI

TEEOS

BOOT

RECOVERY

SENSORHUB

DTS

MODEMNVM_UPDATE

MODEM

MODEM_DSP

3RDMODEM

CUST

SYSTEM

And -

"This repair method now became safer with possibility not to delete NV and OEM info. If these secure zones were not damaged earlier, using this method with these options checked will not delete IMEI, SN and such."

However

-

"(Optional) Phone numbers REPAIR

If your phone is missing IMEI/SN or had selected to delete NV and OEM info when using repair Method 2, or other device info, you can repair and restore them to originals with third party software, like HCU client"

So still seems to me these two softwares may still be the solution.

Which version of TWRP is modified for L02-03?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
You cant. NATO can't either. He explained problems are in CAS and persist as ROM based on cherry by Blefish with CAS ported for cherry. NATO is unable to port CAS for Y550, so Blefish is our only hope presently. See posts #5268, 5272.

As reported on OctOs thread, OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170331-1948-Y550 was last version without problems with google services. Later (milestone edition/s) had problems. All had video and volume bugs due to CAS port etc, as NATO explained.

What is D855?

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

Yes. I had old bootloop with SIM inserted suddenly reoccur with 03/31 ROM. No cause, just found bootlooping one morning after charging overnight. Removing SIM boots up ok. Haven't found a fix other than reinstall stock, then OctOs, so I'm back to stock, waiting for good M or N ROM.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
So understand [MENTION=5429359]ZjemCiKolege[/MENTION] means no problems with OctOs on LG phone.

Problems on Huawei Y550 are nothing to do with base OctOs ROM, but largely due to its base CAS port officially for cherry devices. This was used as NATO hasn't been able to create CAS port for Y550 as he explained.

Our best hope now is [MENTION=4479868]desalesouche[/MENTION] working with [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] to port y550 to lineageos official kernel for cherry. Post #5286. He said "Patience is needed".

If the system partition was formatted and the data partition was not formatted I have found a solution for avoiding having to reenter google account details and perform minor fix ups. Install both cm11 and pa-gapps (for 4.4.x) at the same time or at least install pa-gapps before booting into cm11 for the first time after install

The advantage of not formatting the data partition is that there is no 'factory reset' state. Apps and setting are still present.

Hi,

I recently got one Huawei Ascend Y550 L01 which seems to be damaged (probably HW). Phone was never rooted nor bootloader unlocked, even USB debugging was not enabled. Phone is branded by Telekom (Slovakia). When phone starts it shows message about damaged internal memory and there is option for factory reset (which does nothing) and option for restart phone (it works). Nothing other except turn off is possible to do with phone. I have tried boot into stock recovery (vol up + power) and wipe data/factory reset but it has no effect and ends with errors (can not mount/unmnout partitions). I have tried also fastboot mode (vol down + power) but after phone starts it shows logo for a second, than display turns off and only blue led is turned on. When connecting to PC (Windows 7/10 x64) via USB cable, device is not recognized (recovery nor fastboot mode). Android SDK and appropriate drivers are installed, but adb or fastboot command can not detect any device (it can detect my another phone, so there is not a problem). I though, I could flash stock ROM and problem can be solved, but I do not have Product ID to get unlock code from Huaewei website. And if I had it, I can not use it, because phone does not communicate in fastboot mode... so is it totally HW damaged and I can throw it into trash or is there any solution?

Thanks in advance.
