That will be my first plan. But do i have to "flash" twrp, can't i just "boot" into it? (Fastboot boot twrp.img)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] lamboav:
Twrp has to be flashed via fast boot first.

Turn off the phone, hold down volume down and power to boot into fast boot, go into your terminal on your computer and type fastboot devices (you should see a string of numbers and letters denoting your phone) type fastboot flash recovery [path to twrp.img]. If successful, hold down power to shut off the phone, unplug from the computer, hold down power and volume up until you see twrp.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Milly7:
Yes. Flashed. But there are links to the stock recovery in the forums.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] lowspeed:
He should be able to just load it without flashing ?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
fastboot boot was an unauthorized command.

I got bootloader unlocked, then twrp installed and that went fine.

I kept getting adb debugging setting switch resetting to off at power on, So on the developer options page I had a pop-up asking "reset to default"

I tried that, and it toggled "oem unlocking" to off. And i cannot turn it back on, it is greyed out.

With oem unlock off that makes "frp lock"

now with frp lock I cannot use fastboot flash.

Is there a known solution.

I can flash with TWRP-- but I Was reading the RR 8.1 thread and they install system.img with fastboot.

::Update.

Recovered from frp lock. Now re-unlocked.

And have pulled images of all partitions with "DD" not twrp backup

except recovery.

Gonna verify can restore with "DD" then upload to file host , If there is any interest.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Milly7:
Yes. I am interested. I need to restore my device. Thanks in advance. Just check that your files appear to be the correct size. When I backed up using dd, my system.img was 0 bytes and so was userdata.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
syystem backup is 4.7 gb. Data backup is not needed, Just do a wipe or format after restore and let system rebuild the needed /data structure.

backup L24-B140
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] RSGI:
How did you do it?

I'm on a similar situation as you can see here....

Any tips?

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] lowspeed:
How do you restore this from fastboot?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
suppose you could.

I was expecting to be able to dd copy back in twrp adb shell

I included a restore.bat file to be used as a rough guide on how to do that.

Where should Splash2.img restored to? (in twrp)

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

I didn't flash it reset data, and BAM! unbricked. Thank you sir.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
not needed all the files included. I just included the images saved with *.img in the name. I copied the save.bat from another guide.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] lowspeed:
The build number is b101 how do i bring it up to the latest?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
That's strange. The backup I uploaded was b140
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] johncro13:
So, at the risk of sounding like an idiot, you're referring to the dd command, right? Like dd if=${whatever input file} of=${whatever output file}?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
yes.

I have the following batch file included in the archive.

But is possible you could also use twrp flash image to restore them too. (as twrp uses DD for image flash, AFAIK)

My batch simply sets a variable , in the default form it is "external_sdcard" but could be, for example, "usbotg"

Then adb pushes the files to the card (you could take card out and put into pc for transfer ,if desired)

Lastly it makes "dd" copy of the images back to where they came from.

Not all the images included are needed.

This has recovered one bricked device that I a aware of. But that user just asked about making newer version of build. The build I copied and uploaded is

B140, but on his device it shows B102. I must assume the build information comes from some other file , not the "/system/build.prop" like other android devices.

SET filedir=external_sdcard
adb shell mkdir /%filedir%/backup
echo pushing files back to phone
pause
adb push boot.img /%filedir%/backup
adb push cust.img /%filedir%/backup
adb push recovery.img /%filedir%/backup
adb push recovery2.img /%filedir%/backup
adb push splash2.img /%filedir%/backup
adb push system.img /%filedir%/backup
adb push vendor.img /%filedir%/backup
echo start copying images back to dev/block
pause

echo Seven images copied back, look for errors in text above
echo Next we try to reboot and verify , working device
pause
adb reboot
exit
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Maybe the version.img partition controls the displayed build number.

I have uploaded files separately to a dev folder now, so you could try (I say try because , I don't know if it is correct)

I gave up on this phone.

I'll wait till erecovery works. Then sell it
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
I've been reading through the update packages. There are three for each update.

one mainly for /system and /vendor

one for a public /data area

and one for /data/cust/ ** region.

The last two control what build number is displayed (and others too)

before you give up try to flash this package i attach with twrp.

This one is the next one after b101 I think it is b130.

if it flashes then do the b140, i will add it if this one works.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] lowspeed:

Hey so I wanted to let you guys know that I was able to restore my bricked device by following the directions on this post. Obviously that's meant for other variants, but I can confirm it's working fine on my L24 (see attached photo). Got the EMUI 8.0 beta installed, then followed directions here to install Res Remix Oreo 8.1.

So yeah, I'm pretty happy. Yesterday i had a soft-bricked L24 on EMUI 5, it's now running Android 8.1 and is working great.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] amandeepN4:
I am having a very frustrating experience with my front camera and more with the google support with lame excuses and repeated same replies. So the problem is whenever i am at my office the front camera go nuts and freezes or click really bad pictures with red or blue haze all over. Now, i have read on google support forums that many owners face the same problem and for some RMA worked and for some it didn't. So i have already contacted the support 3 times now and have shared my screen with them and they ask me to do the suggested troubleshooting including formatting, booting in safe mode, uninstalling updates etc. But nothing has helped me till now.

Now i dont face this issue outside my office or rarely if ever. But the problem lies that its present and its at peak when it happens.

They asked me to open up the camera and let th see what actually happens and 1st time it worked fine but after launching the camera again a few times i was able to show it to them when the camera malfunctioned, ro which the representative said its very rare frequency and maybe a software glitch and not a problem. I was like even if it happens only 1 in 100 times its still a issue and must be taken care off. But nothing much from them and i dont see any hooe in future as when the google engineer comes to pick my phone up i may not be able to show him the same problem as it happens only or mostly at office only and he would also deny the fact of any defect. My chances of getting RMA are really bad.

If anyone is facing same issue and got through it please share experience or solution. Its very frustrating coming from s8 to picel for camera and the same fails me. :crying:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] meredsm:
I was dumb and tried installing TWRP recovery for the U.S. version of the S7E snapdragon. I nearly bricked my phone, but I was able to restore the original bootloader and firmware. However, afterwards I found out that I can't get into recovery mode when booting up (Power + Home + Volume Up). The only way I can get to recovery is by connecting via ADB when the phone has fully rebooted and commanding "adb reboot recovery".

Does anyone have any ideas about how to restore the shortcut to recovery when booting?
