[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thetpcguy:
HI, I will get right to the point. My phone is Honor 7x (BND-AL10C675 INDIAN) I screwed it up.

Now, the fastboot or recovery or E recovery nothing works!!

There is only one screen which keeps coming in a loop rebooting with a vibration

It says " ERROR MODE"

ATTENTION!

PLEASE UPDATE SYSTEM AGAIN

ERROR! FUNC NO : 8 (HIFI IMAGE)

ERROR NO : 1 (SECURITY VERIFY FAILED)

It keeps rebooting and the phone doesn't even turn off. I tried the download mode (Volume UP & Down Power button, SAME SCREEN comes up)

Let me know if you want me to write a detailed version of how I got here or ask any specific questions.

Now, all I need is at least FASTBOOT so I can do something about it. Is there anyone who can help? I hope SOME PRO OR A GEEK is able to solve this issue magically. I just can't tell you what I'm going through.

UPDATE:

As Christo31 requested and maybe it's useful for other people to help me out. Here is what I did. It's a real long story!!

I have Honor 7x (BND-AL10C675 INDIAN) I had unlocked bootloader and twrp and I was on emui 8 beta which I flashed manually using one of the tutorials here on the forum. One day, I decided to get back to stock as I was stuck in emui 8 beta and no OTA updates so I downloaded the emui 8 stable rom from firmware finder and put it in sd card "dload" folder. Now, for this method to work, we need to relock bootloader and flash stock recovery which I did and it completely wiped everything out.

Now, the "dload" method fails at 5% every time. I tried different roms for this very model but no it doesn't work. (Also, my build no. was stuck at B141 for a long time no matter what rom I changed : Yes, this is stupid, I should have fixed it first) Maybe that's why the "dload" method doesn't work.

So, in this forum I saw some with similar issue but somewhat different " Frp locked & bootloader unlocked" and I was told that the DC phoenix software might fix this and I bought some credits and used the software. Here's what I discovered

My observations with the software:

* I put the phone in fastboot and downloaded the update.app full Ota (same one emui stable) and tried to flash. The software flash well ok as it says "the software is written" but the phone doesn't boot and goes directly into the recovery mode and again the bootloader and frp are locked.

*Here, I noticed that it shows something like "opening backdoor" and then the Bootloader status goes to red and says "UNLOCKED" it means it was definitely doing something so the next I repeated the same process but as soon as the phone was "UNLOCKED", I pulled the usb cable out and I kept my command ready and tried "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img" and guess what it flashed that twrp file and I could see in the command line that it went "okay" so I immediately booted to recovery but again the stock recovery comes up. Also, I tried system.img also it flashes fine but phone doesn't boot. Same recovery.

REMEMBER: THE ABOVE STEPS MAY WORK FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER BUT FRP LOCKED. IN MY CASE BOTH ARE LOCKED SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

* I tried another update.app I guess it's BNDL22.ZIP or something and this time the software was trying to flash in "upgrade mode" and somehow the recovery was broke. There was some "ERROR MODE" basically the recovery was broke. I didn't care much. Although flashing another update.app would have fixed it.

* The next step I tried after a lot of trial & error for about 1.5 days. This time I did the same when the bootloader was unlocked, I pulled the cable and tried the command "fastboot oem unlock unlock code" ( I should have got this idea before, I mean it's a mess guys, I didn't sleep for too long) and I was shocked to see that it showed the options "Unlocked bootloader yes or no" and I clicked "yes" and I jumped hoping that it's over but... I ended up with 'ERROR MODE' which I described above.

* I feel, because the recovery was broken, it ended up in error mode. Just imagine if my recovery was fine and then I tried this command then it would have erased everything and maybe I might have been presented with fastboot screen with both "frp & bootloader Unlcock" or at least 'bootloader unlock" in either way, I could have flashed a 'system.img' and get into settings and BEATH THE HELL OUT OF THAT "ENABLE OEM UNLOCK' in settings. The rest you know.

I wrote this not just because someone might help me but because a lot of posts on this forum really helped me a lot and posts like these can help a lot of people down the road.

Now, my phone is still in the same loop. Reboot, Honor logo, Error mode...REPEAT

I heard that once the phone drains down completely, we may get back fastboot. Fingers crossed. Sadly, I have Mac so I borrowed windows laptop for this purpose from a friend. This is the last day and I guess I'm going to put it on sale and sell it as a scrap or something for display and stuff.

How much does motherboard cost? anyone any ideas? if it's below 4K or about 80$ then I might go for the repair if nothing works!!

I'm going to update on this very soon. Le'ts hope for a miracle. Either way my HONOR 7X IS A LEGEND.

UPDATE :

After waiting for hours, my phone got discharged and I curiously plugged in the phone pressing "volume down" button OR power + volume and all other types of combinations but the phone just goes to the same "ERROR MODE' and keeps going in the same loop.

So, I really hate Huawei for not providing stock firmware or some type of recovery for people like me to get back to stock. For example : Xiaomi has that fastboot ROMS which you can easily flash in EDL mode no matter what happens to you and of course some other ways to recovery the bricked phones.

The Huawei E recovery?? What the **** is it? Does it ever work? It's some kind of a joke. The hisuite is again **** It says 'My model is not supported" and it only showed me two very older and ancient models that are supported for recovery.

I'm not expecting warranty but at least they should give the service for the customer. Did I tell you that this phone was in Service centre for three days when it had FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, E RECOVERY working. They could n't fix it in 3 days so I rushed them to get my phone back hoping that I would recover it with the above method.

Now, I got the Redmi Note 5 Pro and my 7X is a dead brick and I'll try selling it as scrap for display etc...

Finally, I really love the XDA forums and the friendly members who are very helping and so empathetic. Thanks guys, you are the best:)

I'm not leaving. I'll see you on the other side. I mean, the Redmi Note 5 pro development. Keep hustling:)
