Unfortunately it's dead and at the moment there's nothing you can do to make it work again. Your only hope now is warranty, just book your phone in at huawei repair center and pretend as if you don't know what happened to the device.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Actually what I want to try is not touching the XLOADER at all, as I believe that the trigger is pulled when trying to replace it and all I just do is flashing everything except the XLOADER.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] rogerinnyc:
When you say "everything except the XLOADER" can you be more specific about which extracted .img files you would flash and, if it matters, in which order? I'm getting to the point where I may have to give it shot. Thanks (and you -- or anyone else responding -- is 100% absolved from any blame if I hard brick). I would be going from B134 on ALP-L29 C636 (which was a rebrand from C185) to B138.

Please check something for me in your root if you have a dload folder with update_huawei_dload.zip in it of 1.17 MB size dated Jan 01, 1970 00:00:00 AM. I have tried to delete this folder several times, but always come back after reboot. It might also have a hand in bricking our devices.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] rogerinnyc:
I have the file, but it's 1.12 mb in size. Haven't tried to delete, not am I clear why I should want to. No file date associated with it that I can tell.....

There's no need, that's useless and old stuff, it won't help with unbricking. We had a look at that long ago.

Thank you! Will try today.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Grumpy Cat:
According to my build number I never received that update, it must've been pulled from our cellular providers and Huawei's servers. I did get one a few days ago (which is the exact build you have now) and haven't experienced any issue, granted my Mate 10 is only a few days old. What really pisses me off though is how Huawei completely overlook longstanding bugs when pushing out new updates, like touch sensitivity in the gallery or having to enable hardware acceleration just to make alarms run smoothly, surprised no one has noticed those issues yet.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hayeni:
So my theory was correct all along that 02 xloader to 02 xloader will work. Soon I will rebrand from from C55B132 to C432B147 and will give you the results. Thanks to the heroes from the other forum who has proven my theory.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] rogerinnyc:
Can you provide a link? I should add that I had to reflash my Mate 10, which was acting up after I uninstalled Magisk to see if I would get an OTA (I didn't) and then reinstalled it, with the same 02 xloader software as was already on it ALP-L29 C636 b134 -- using mankindtw's old tool -- and that worked fine. Didn't have the guts to try a newer, 01 xloader software, though.....
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hayeni:
Always remember that for now we are only safe on the 02 xloader and don't touch the 01 xloaders.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Ok guys I did it and all went well. I have rebranded from BLA-L09C55B132 to BLA-L09C432B147 without bricking and can confirm that 02 xloader to 02 xloader works just fine.

Guys please always first check the xloader before flashing. Let me see what I have been missing out while I was in the xloader prison.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ThugMaster:
Hi, first, sorry for my english, is not perfect.

Days ago i was trying to fix the network problem on my Huawei, and some audio problems too, Mixer paths and some issues. About the network issue, i flashed an zip that supposedly could fix the problem. In this case, I was not completely sure so i made a backup of all on TWRP of course... But surprise, when it finished i pressed reboot system and thats all. The phone died. There is no answer to charge, no answer to PC, no vibration, no led, no screen boot, logos, nothing.

I will leave the link of the zip here if somebody with more knowledge can take a look and help, thanks...

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
At the very least you have overwritten the kernal and the modem partitions but its anybodys guess where the patches were ACTUALLY written to, considering the Zip is meant for a Galaxy S3 !!

What were you thinking of when you thought that this could fix anything on a Huawei ?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ThugMaster:
It was a desperate attempt to fix the mobile network, a thing that a real need, and the video of the zip supposedly could fix it, and doesnt say that was only for S3, but, even so i made the backup of everything for that reason, because i dont know what im really flashing.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:
A little bit of a give away is in the title of the zip file ie. ".........Galaxy+S3.......", don't you think ?

However if your phone is totally dead and not been "seen" by a PC with the appropriate drivers loaded then its back to base I'm afraid, or maybe explore here:-

[Sony Xperia M5] marceltjeg:
So someone gave me a bricked Sony experia m5, i believe that's what it is. When i plug in a charger the red light comes on but i cannot turn on the phone. i tried holding the power off button next to the sim slot for 10+ seconds but that didn't help either. I also tried holding the power on button with the volume down to no avail. I did some googling and found im not the only one with this issue. Altough advice was hard to find i managed to find a video about the same issue on a z3. As in the video i opened up the phone, reconnected all of the connectors. I left the battery connector out, then plugged it in and try to start it. Still didn't work.

I have never used a sony phone before and i have no idea what i should do next, i hope someone has advice for me

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Cupcake 1.5:
So I been wondering, since I use the scanner exclusively to navigate, is the scanner actually intended for such constant use, or is this some kind of hack by the manufacturers? And what kind of lifetime does the scanner have under constant use?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bazinga137:
Capacitive fingerprint readers are small arrays of capacitors, much like a very densely packed touchscreen. There isn't much to break there, but they do lose accuracy if scratched (though not as much as you might think). The capacitors aren't actually directly on the sensor, they are a bit underneath the glassy surface, so it would probably take decades for it to wear out and stop working. Even with everyday use, they will definitely outlast some other components.

I recently took a punt at the MJYUN Wireless earbuds from Amazon due to the fact that they are only £39.99, and was pleasantly surprised at the quality for the money. Would certainly recommend them over the more expensive competition, the battery life is really good (2.5 hrs +) and comes with a small, sturdy charging case.

Pairing was really straightforward and you can pause / play and skip tracks, you can answer calls but I've not personally tried it.

I've used them while running, weightlifting and watching a film on the train and never had an issue with comfort or fit, so if you are in the market I suggest you check them out.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] kanej2006:
10X zoom or not, the quality will be $hit. 1X or 2X acceptable but 10X?? Also you will need a tripod to even get a usable picture. Even when using 1X & 2X zoom there is a lot of movement which will result in camera shake/blurred images.

Lastly, that will be digital zoom, not optical zoom. Do you guys not care for image quality?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] flyinghighaero:
Honor 8 had bumpy history with updates. With the promise on xda, not releasing kernels and update delays for nougat on many devices.

I'm using L19 and the past 3 updates has brought my honor 8 to the latest security patch. While it's not Oreo by any means. Does this signal Huawei trying to make good on updates?

My feeling with Huawei has soured and I'm looking at samsung a series as my replacement. If Huawei improve their update cycle I might consider them over Samsung pay, more frequent update, amoled screen and more accessories.

I had to laugh at the Huawei turning over a new leaf headline too, LOL, they do the minimum and not very well.

Google should force them all to update major versions quicker and if they cannot manage it then they should stop worthless skins that cost them all the time to port.

Its only because google has forced them now, that they are now updating security faster.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] shree alwaz:
Are you will it be successful L?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
If you flashed OOS (stock or OB), then it will always restore the stock recovery after a reboot.

If you want to have TWRP "stick", then you'll have to flash the modified boot image from here https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/ho...y-force-encryption-op3t-t3688748/post74155053

The modified boot image turns off the flag that restores the stock recovery.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] shree alwaz:
Do I need to flash modified boot image? Why? Earlier I could able flash twrp without any problem why am I getting that issue now?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
If you are running pure OOS, then the only way to have TWRP not get replaced by the stock recovery is to either use:

- a modified boot image

- a custom kernel

- or use Magisk

This is all tied up with dm-verity. Any of the three options I listed will remove the dm-verity flags that result in overriding TWRP.

Of course you can try just flashing TWRP and see what happens. If it sticks (but I think it won't), good. If it doesn't stick then you've learnt something and you know how too fix it.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
It depends on the exact sequence you are talking about:

1) If you flash TWRP, than immediately flash a custom ROM (without rebooting), it should then be patched to prevent TWRP being overwritten (with stock recovery). So maybe that is what you did last time. Alternately, immediately rooting (SuperSU or Magisk) or a flashing a patched boot image, will in either case prevent TWRP from being overwritten.

2) If you flash TWRP, then reboot (before flashing anything in TWRP) then in most cases you will find TWRP is overwritten.

However, if you flashed TWRP then

immediately

tried to boot TWRP but got stock recovery, then something else is going on (TWRP never flashed, and did not get overwritten - you need to reboot the phone for that to happen). Try erase cache and flash TRWP again. Of you can try boot TWRP without actually flashing it, as a workaround: fastboot boot TWRP.img
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] shree alwaz:
If flash twrp and reboot the phone and then going back to recovery giving stock recovery only. Are you saying I need to flash custom kernel or magisk to get twrp?. My doubt is with out twrp can flash kernel or magisk? I am confused what to do?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] shree alwaz:
You got me. I am on open beta with unlocked bootloader. I used have rr nougat. But I flashed back to oos due to some preferences. Now I want flash to rr Oreo. So I am just trying flashing twrp using cmd. After flashing I am just rebooting phone and then I am going back to recovery. Surprise is that I am still having stock recovery. So I am not sure what to do.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Temporarily boot into twrp with fastboot, copy zip files to memory using MTP (it will activate automatically, when TWRP boots successfully you can see the phone on your PC), flash them in TWRP, profit.

^ assuming you have already made a backup
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Or you can flash TWRP in fastboot, then boot directly into recovery (which will be TWRP) and the recover or flash ever ROM you want.

If you restart your phone with OOS installed and TWRP as your recovery, the stock recovery will replace TWRP.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] shree alwaz:
Thanks for your prompt reply. I did that and now I could able to use twrp. It's a lesson learned for me.

Moreover, I have doubt that my phone is encrypted and I have not triggered DM-verity. Whenever I boot into my phone first it asks the password then only it will reboot the phone as well as twrp. What should I do to remove it? If I follow the instruction which sent me in your second reply, should I follow that?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
No, keep the on boot password. It's a great security mechanism. It prevents anybody from getting access to your data via TWRP.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] shree alwaz:
Boot password is nothing but forced encryption on?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
You can have encrypted storage with a default password in which case you're not asked for a password on boot or to read the data in TWRP. So then anybody could access the data using TWRP.

But if you have it encrypted and set an on boot password you will also need it to decrypt the data using TWRP.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
As you've now figured out, your mistake is rebooting. As I already described, rebooting before flashing root (Magisk or SuperSU) or patched boot image (or custom ROM w. patched boot image) will by definition wipe TWRP. This is normal and expected.

Fastboot flash TWRP. Then in bootloader screen, select recovery, and it should go to TWRP. Then flash one of the above described files to make TWRP "stick".

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

No, that is not what he is saying. Yes, you need TWRP to flash a custom kernel or Magisk. Fastboot flash TWRP, then immediately select "recovery" from the bootloader menu and do

not

reboot the phone.

You don't need custom kernel/Magisk to flash TWRP (that would be a cart before the horse type situation, as you somewhat figured out). But doing so, makes TWRP "stick" and not get wiped (replaced with stock recovery).

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Encryption is not the same as forced encryption.

Forced

encryption means that if your phone is decrypted, flashing an update will (I believe) "force" it back to being encrypted. For folks that want to stay decrypted, they will want to disable forced encryption. If your phone is encrypted, it doesn't matter if you have forced encryption or not. It will stay encrypyted in either case.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] shree alwaz:
There used to option in settings menu to disable that. But now I cant able to see that option. Do you know where can I find it.

And moreover I have little confusion between encrypted phone and setting up boot up password. I thought both are same. If both are not same. Where will be encrypted is useful. I mean when does phone will seek password to decrypt phone. It might be a dumb question but just wanna clarify my doubts.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Encryption is always useful if paired with bootup password - in case of theft no one can read your data.

You will be asked for password, if you explicitly set it up in OS.

And what option do you mean?
