[FIX][WIP] Blank Screen Boot (hardbrick-no bootloader) - X2 General

Hello guys!
since we all do mistakes, i alongside alot of people have formatted /sys_boot partition on our dear RM-980.
that partition is actually the bootloader and without it the phone bricks.
the signs of that brick is black and no screen lights but a vibration that indecates "PLEASE HELP ME!!"
connecting it to windows will cause seeing a drive that windows can't detect and it will ask to format it which is the worst IDEA EVER!! and fastboot will never detect the phone.
if plugged in to Linux you'll get full control over all phone partitions including internal SD, system, boot, bootloader etc.
its easy to flash images from linux side using gparted or "disks in ubuntu which i use" but also fastboot can't be used.
all we need is an mmcblk0p3 dump to save all dead NOKIA X2 lives!!
it can be easily done on ADB on any computer if you are willing to help follow the following easy steps:
start up your nokia x RM-980, enable debugging, connect to USB and find an ADB then give it next comand:
Code:
adb shell
you should be in your phone shell. then:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p3.img
that will backup your bootloader as mmcblk0p3.img in root of your sdcard
now compress that in a zip and donate it here with your phone CODE (you can find it in the back of your phone)
I will collect the bootloaders for all the CODEs you people will send.
Thank you very much in advance
UPDATE!
IT WORKED ON MY NOKIA X phone and it should work on X2 too!! but i have not tested it (i do not own the device and there is no1 here willing to help)
but in case someone wanted to help here's how you do it.
Please DO NOT DO IT unless you REALLY KNOW what you are doing!!
When you find a working X2 (or maybe someone from this forum can upload it and post it) do the following on the working X2:
First - Backing Up a Working Bootloader from a Working NOKIA X2: (you can do on Windows or Linux)
1- access it with adb from PC while its ON (connect to USB, enable dev debugging..etc) you should know these stuff if you are willing to fix your phone, if you don't you should take it to NOKIA CARE Centers to fix it for you.
2- type the following in ADB:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p3.img
then check your phone internal storage you will find an image called (mmcblk0p3.img) copy it to your PC
Second - Flashing the Working Bootloader on the Not Working X2: (requires Linux get an Ubuntu)
1- Boot up in a Working Ubuntu (or Ubuntu Live CD)
2- Download and extract the attachment in Home Folder
3- Open up Ubuntu Menu and look up (Disks)
4- Remove your NOKIA X Battery and Unplug it from any USB or charger, re-insert battery, then hold Power button untill phone Vibrates then release power button. after you do all that plug it in USB to your computer
** if you have done those steps perfectly you should see a new device in (Disks) application will say(something-qualcomm-something) depends on the type of your phone. you will see a table on the right when you click it that has 3 partitions and then many other partitions grouped up don't touch these at all**
5- click on the third partition from left it should be in size of 52MB.
6- right click it and choose (Restore Disk from an Image).
7- Browse to your Home folder then in (NOKIA X RM980 BOOTLOADER) and choose mmcblk0p3.img
8- it will ask you if you are sure click Restore.
9-Wait for it to finish. when it does close Disks then unplug phone, remove battery, re-insert it, power up your phone.

I don't understand why can you use mmcblk0p3 of Nokia X (RM-980) to save Nokia X2 (RM-1013).

we cant use bootloader of NOKIA X for NOKIA X2 "at least i never tried" however the issue still happens for both phones and its caused by same "mistake" and so i wunna start trying to save these phones and not force people to just go to NOKIA Care "since we don't even have one here"
the only way to do so is for a single donator to upload his bootloader image and the community will thank him forever!
but it seems like no1 is willing to help until now..

I try to make a Unbricker Tool. But I need proper preload, boot and system partitions. (bootloader is about.img and I have it already)
When I have all product codes image files, I will create a tutorial for unbricking via Linux.
After that try to build a cygwin based Microsoft app of it.

my friend, if NOKIA CARE can flash "do Recovery" for your phone then this post is not the right one for you. our issue that NOKIA CARE does not detect the phone anymore because of damaged bootloader.
about your phone, do you really think its a software issue?! "maybe the screen isnt working or broken!!"

my friend, you need a working X2 to take the bootloader image from.
since i have NOKIA X i cant help you however the procedure is the same.
i updated my post please read it carefully. however i can not guarantee that your issue can be fixed with this procedure so please DO NOT DO IT unless you REALLY KNOW what you are doing!!

my friend i am not sure what method did symbuzzers use to back up the partition, if his code used
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/(WHATEVER).img
from ADB to back it up,
then it should theoretically work.
also when u plug your phone to Windows it should show you a Flash drive that need to be formatted, if you formatted it then this method will not work for you anymore.
and i've checked his post it has nothing stating a backup.
can you please boot up an Ubuntu Live CD , connect your phone powering it on, open up Disks aplication and send me a screenshot of Qualcom device?

OHH
Thanks..

device not found
guys, do we need drivers for ubuntu? I followed the steps in first page and I have my Nokia X2 usb debugging on but adb wont detect my device.. my X2 is running CM11..

I thought backup only works on linux so I installed ubuntu (which I have zero knowledge using it) but failed.. after searching google I saw someone did it on windows so I'm back to windows and tried I did get into the shell but I can't access the backup /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 showing "Permission denied"..
Edit***
I did it using adb root.. sorry about that.. my problem now is that ubuntu didn't see my other device (Nokia XL) in disks.. what's weird is, when I insert this device in windows.. it shows that the device is connected and driver is present in my device drivers even though this phone is completely dead (no vibrate, no fastboot, no lights)..

does it give any reason for it not wanting to do it?
You cant just dump an ISO on a flash drive and expect it to work, you need to make a bootable flash drive FROM the ISO that's slightly more complicated but wont really help you anyway as that wouldn't set it up.
first you'll need to make the USB bootable then extract the iso file in it
and use the same steps with widows 7, you'll need to format the drive with
NTFS file system
take a look here it will help

Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
use ultraiso to extract the iso file so you can copy them to the USB
and here is a link for the boot folder if you don't have it
in step 4:
replace the command "FORMAT FS=NTFS" with "FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK"
in step 5:
open the folder i attached and open CMD there then proceed to step 7
here is the folder:

As I said, what did the official program on the win 8 ISO say when you ran it, you said it couldnt do it, was that all it said? It won't fail for no reason

if you havent extract the iso you may mount it like this:

after mounting it go to my computer and you'll see it there
and as you can see from the previously pic there is 2 important drives for us
1- CD Drive (F GRMCHPXFRER_EN_DVD --> the name will be deferent for you
2- Removable Disk (G
the first is the and the 2nd is the USB
when finish with step 4 in the tutorial
go to the boot folder and in the addres bar delete every thing and write CMD
then hit enter
now the CMD window will open
and write this is it:

I personally use WinUSB, a free program that can take MANY different types of files, and copy them to a usb, which it then make bootable. Here's a link to the download site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winusb/files/latest/download
Also, I reccomend installing it as a second os. This is a better option, because I'm assuming you simply want to check it out. Just partition your hard drive (Extreamly easy, and hundreds of guides online as to how), turn off your computer, insert the boot media, start up, go into the boot device setting (Usually F12, but can occassionally varry, also may have to be manually made as an option, but adjusting BIOS settings by taping F2). If done properly, a WIndows 8 installation guide with start, agree to the terms, enter the license key, and choose which partition to install it on (Make sure it's the one you choose for this, some you don't erase any data and/or your OS). Then just follow the rest of the set-up instructions, and your good to go.
This strategy also works for trying to install any other OS (Such as you wanting to give Linux a try).
This is also good, because if Windows 8 encounters any errors, it won't affect Win7 or any data stored on the Win7 partition.
Hope this helps!

I do understand there's a phone out called blade 2. I was under the impression that it was being referred to as the blade s to try and stop confusion with the zte crescent referred to also as the blade 2. It's my mistake as I should of read what firmware his phone was running in the opening post.

Root / Clockworkmode SUCCESS
Hi
I managed somehow to install clockworkmode and to root the phone.
So i was having problems like many others that "waiting for device" message and nothing happened .
I fixed this issue and i like to inform ,help others whos still fight with this problem.
This message is have to do with the zte drivers in windows , so everithing is just cause drivers !!!
So i'm using Win 7 64bit and now i tested at my office also on Win 7 32bit (both ultimate) and it worked.
What you need to download Recovery.img , superuser , usb drivers , from modaco webpage or there is in some other sites !
1. i extracted the 'adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip' to c:\ so we have C:\Android\
2. I append the C:\Android\ in the ENVIROMENT VARIABLES at PATH clicked EDIT then after the paths append ;C:\Android\ (copyed here the recovery.img and , Superuser-3.2-RC2-arm-signed.zip to the phone SD)
3. On my blade2 checked the USB DEBUGGING settings then connected to computer
4. At this point i opened the DEVICE MANAGER to see allthetime what happening with the phone drivers
5. I installed the usb drivers mentioned abowe. (and i was looking at device man to ensure that there is no error in drivers)
6. At this point i opened a COMMAND PROMPT from c:\android\ then i checked my phone with 'ADB DEVICES' command ,... list of devices attached P735T was written
7. now i type 'ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER' then the phone after 5-7 sec reboots to the Green android screen and stuck there
8. At this point my device manager lost ZTE HANDSET MODEM, ZTE COMPOSITE ADB INTERFACE devices and found a new one ,ANDROID with driver error !!! Important to set the DEVICE ISTALLATION SETTING in windows to use INSTALL DRIVERS FROM WINDOWS UPDATE IF NOT FOUND ON MY COMPUTER
9. i choosed UPDATE DRIVER from DEVICE MANAGER , and updating from the internet , after a while it found a driver and installed , and i got finally a working device named ZTE BOOTLOADER INTERFACE or whatever it was
10. At this point i checked with ADB DEVICES my phone , but dont worry its not seeing like before , but its communicating anyway !
11. so I typed the 'FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY RECOVERY.IMG' then it starts the process ,after 3-4 sec its finished.
12. now typed 'FASTBOOT REBOOT'
13. Phone restarts normally , then powered off , battery taken out for 10 sec , power button pressed for a while.
14. Restarted the phone by holding the Power button and Volume Down buttons until i entered in clockworkmode recovery !
15. Then i used INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD and choosed the Superuser-3.2-RC2-arm-signed.zip , flased and rebooted after.
16 Phone restart normally , i used ROT CHECK to check if my device is rooted , you found on the market.
17. YESS my phone have clockwork and rooted WOOW

Hi,
this manual is copied from xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (I can not post the link, try to google "356968-guide-how-to-rooting-your-zte-blade-ii" and it really works!! I've tested it. Respectively it is not copied, the user who solved problem (gjenck) with "android interface device driver" post his reply also here.
There is important notice: when rebooted to bootloader, the device really change from "zte blade" to "android interface device". I have windows vista and there was no "update online" option for the driver. So I googled "android device driver" and find it. It seems to be some generic android usb driver.

[GUIDE] Unbrick Your Hardbricked GiONEE Elife E7

What is the starting situation?
You bricked your phone. It can't be started anymore. No charging, no recovery, no fastboot. Your phone is not recognized by your computer.
What to do now?
1. Drain the battery!
Therefore you just have to be patient. Press the power button every now and then. It takes approximately 2 days until the battery is drained.
How do you know if your battery is drained?
When connecting to a charging station or a computer the led-light will pop up red and turn off after a few seconds again.
2. Download the rom for your device!
HTML:
http://androidmtk.com/download-gionee-stock-rom-models
HTML:
http://www.android.gs/download-gionee-stock-rom/
The drivers and the flash tool you will need are also contained in the download.
3. Install the driver.
Your phone should be disconnected while you are installing them. When you connect your phone now it should be recognized under COM port as 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader'.
4. Start the tool and set the settings like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On almost every website it is stated that you should set "Platform" to "8x26". Do not do it! ( This was the cause my phone bricked)
"Platform" hast to be set to "8974" for our phone.
5. Click on download and wait until it is finished.
Enjoy your unbricked Gionee!
FAQ:
Q) GNQC download doesn't work. It gives the error "application failed to start".
A) Install VC++ 2005 redistributeble SP1 ATL security upgrade.
Q) I receive an "incorrect parameter error".
A) You are using a Chinese flash tool so make sure your copy of windows supports Chinese. Change local settings in the control panel.
Q) I receive an "in gnqc bp_image file doesnt exist" error.
A) Remove Chinese characters from the name of the image folder.
Q) My phone is not detected.
A) Let it sit and drain the battery in 1-2 days. Now plug it in via usb cable.
The biggest problem:
Q) My phone is detected as usb hid device instead of com port.
A) There are problems with different versions of Windows.
For me, this problem occured with Windows 8 64-bit.
It is recommended to follow the procedure on a computer with Windows XP 32-bit. Windows 7 32-bit might work also.
Alternatively:
Use a virtual machine. (I used Virtual Box by Oracle.)
1. Create a virtual image of windows xp 32bit in the virtual machine.
2. Install windows xp 32bit on it. (You need a windows xp installation ISO or CD)
3. Put the downloaded rom, flash tool and drivers into the virtual machine. (e.g. with an usb flash drive)
4. Install the drivers while your phone is disconnected. Now connect your phone to the virtual machine.
Now your phone should be recognized. Follow the rest of the procedure.
There are some threads on xda which try to help with bricked E7 devices. I just wanted to put all together and add some information. So make sure you check the credits!

First of all open your device manager. Then connect your phone. Check if any device was added (like unknown USB-device or something). That is the case if battery is not drained.

I had the same problem, I solved in this way:
Open the downloader
Connect the phone
Wait until it's recognised
Try to flash
If it stops, unplug and then plug the phone again keeping the downloader opened.
I know it could seem stupid but in windows the most of the things works in this way...

}
4. Now open the program "zadig.exe" in the Attachment and press Options/List all Devices.
4.1 Now you choose your device which is connected in DFU-Mode and which should be named "LANCE", Choose "WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385)" and" press "Replace Driver"
5. Now open "Firmware-TOOL.bat" Batch File, choose your Firmware and wait until the Flash Process finished.
if Flash Process was successful you get a green screen(If i didnt make something wrong error interpretation).
PS: Dont get scared if you get a red screen. This only means that you didnt follow all steps in this Instruction.

5. Now open "Firmware-TOOL.bat" Batch File, choose your Firmware and wait until the Flash Process finished.

So, when I get my MW1 into the file transfer mode. The same display as you sent. I do not get any recognition of the OS that a USB device is connected.
Mac OS 10.9.2, Windows 8.1 64bit, Windows 7 64bit.
The device is not detected in zadig. Am I missing a step? The device does not show up in device manager, or System Profiler (OSX).
Am I missing a step?
1. It´s not file transfer mode. It´s Firmware update mode (you need to press back button while connecting your device)
2. It should show up (I have a win 7 64bit)
I think you maybe missed the back button or your computer cant download the drivers (?)...
My USB Cable was shot.
So zadig.exe has "Install Driver" not "Replace". DFU-Util is saying that I have more than one device in DFU Mode. Is there a way to modify the install.bat to specify a specific device?
zadig.exe detects 5 devices on my Macbook Pro running Windows.

1. If it didn't switch to firmware update mode you pressed the false button ( or the Usb 3.0 port create problems)
2. Usb 3.0 port is not supported by the dfu-util ( I tested myself), but Windows 8.1 is supported
>>> Switch to Usb 2.0 port and test all buttons, if the back button didn't work (but should work).
PS: Dont forget to give feedback, which thing created a problem

Hello guys! How is your MW1 doing nowadays? I am about to buy two units for my brother and me, and would not want a fiasco.
Please, tell me, with this firmware version 0.1.D.0.6 the device is working perfectly? Do you recommend this headset?
For me this is the most complete and feature packed Bluetooth headset today, I am about to buy it.
Are all its features working in Android 5.1.1?
Please help me! Thank you!

Like the Title says, I found a Solution for downgrading your devices after one Day I got my Sony MW1 . I'm Using the, method of Flashing
Sony Smartwatch 2 optimized on the Sony MW1 which is using a similar (same?) Hardware. I extract the firmware from the headset apk.
Instructions:
1. Download the Attachment "Sony MW1 Downgrade 0.1.D.0.6"
2. Reset your Device via Settings/Systeminfo/Reset
3. Power off your Sony MW1, press "back-button" and connect in the same moment your device to the usb port of your computer.
Now you should see this screen:
4. Now open the program "one m.exe" in the Attachment and press Options/List all Devices.
4.1 Now you choose your device which is connected in DFU-Mode and which should be named "LANCE", Choose "WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385)" and" press "Replace Driver"
5. Now open the "Install.bat" script and wait until the Flash Process finished.
6. Remove USB-Cable and Press Power button.
7. Reset your Device again and have fun with your "stable" Firmware.
Warning: I take no responsibility for bricked devices or angry Sony staff.
Changelog
V.1.1
- update zadig.exe
- update dfu-util.exe ( should fix error with multiple DFU devices)
V.1.0 by
-initial version
Please provide me older Firmware Files or older Sony MW1 Applications, for expanding the choice of Firmware.
Don´t forget to press Thanks and spread this Solution on other forums with referring on this Thread.

Hey, man! Thank you for this tutorial and update! Seems like this is the only one Would you tell me how is your MW1 doing? Is it working fine with Android 4 and 5?
Have you got any other older firmware? Like C version 0.1.C.0.3? Is this version 0.1.D.0.6 is working fine with all the features?
I would very much appreciate your comments on the device as I'm about to buy it!
Thank you!
yes my mw1 is working fine with android 4.1 and it should work fine with android 5 because bluetooth headset protocol ist standarized.
MW1 is now awesome!!!
After getting these bulk, with no instructions, I finally got it to pair with my Nexus 6. After pairing it did not play over the headset, just out of the N6 speakers. After a power cycle it started working. The sound sucked the big one. It was like hearing it over an answering machine from the 80's. So after a google search on firmware, I saw this thread.:victory:
It only took 3 minutes to downgrade and it sounds GREAT!!!!!:good:
I am on windows 10 with a USB 3.0 and let the Zadig update to 2.1.2.677. All the other files were fine.
The install.bat file only took about a minute to finish.
Many Thanks and Happy Holidays!!!!
I made a big update and included other firmware updates which you can test. I couldn't test al of it because i don't have a Sony MW1 any more (I tried to change the battery and broke it ) . It would be nice if you could test All firmware updates which I extract from the official Sony MW 1 Application and the new batch File Menu. I hope I don't get into trouble because of some angry Sony staff

[Download+Guide] BND-L24 Board Firmware | IDT Flash Software

If anyone needs this, here is BND-L24 Board Firmware, IDT Flash Tool, Drivers, and Instructions to enter EDL Mode and Flash the board software
**Flashing Board Software should be a final option. If you are still able to flash/boot into TWRP, HuRu or HWOTA would be a better option**
Download :https://drive.google.com/file/d/108uEQyCBMQSywCTOB2c7p9cz35dv_UP9/view?usp=sharing
Image I forgot to add to archive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bp_pqu-1HGLyxzsO5c7OEEfCmGjahz-O/view?usp=sharing
1.) Take Back Cover Off Phone (Watch a disassembly video from youtube for the Honor 7X if you do not know how)
Basically you use a guitar pick or pry tool around the edges
2.) Unscrew the plate above the battery and take it off
3.) Under the plate you took off, there should be a black connector for the battery, use tweezers or something to take that off
4.) Plug USB into either computer or phone, but not both
5.) place the tips of the tweezers to the 2 Short Points ( See Image )
6.) reattach battery connector
7.) While holding the 2 short points with tweezers, plug the phone into your computer
8.) Check Device Manager that your Phone is detected as COM Port
9.) Open IDT
10.) Add the Board Firmware .xml
11.) Press Start
12.) Put the dload folder on a SD Card and insert it into your phone
13.) Once your phone starts, in one of the manufacturer apps, there is an option for SD Card Update
14.) Once that's installed, you can now use HuRu, FunkyHuawei, DCPhoneix or whatever you prefer to go to stock firmware
THANK YOU! This helped a ton, I was in quite the situation! Black screen and only fastboot. But now I have neither so i have to do it again. Is there any chance you have the firmware for Nougat? That would be nice, as the current one is Ice Cream Sandwich.
Awesome!

Nevermind, I just realized the dload file you included is what i was looking for xD. And here I was trying to manually root with adb shell to somehow flash nougat from the OS. A very roundabout way to go about it i know, but there was that image verify thing...heh.
Thanks! This really helped.
Quick question, how did you get the crc files for each partition? Also can they be edited?

This tutorial is for the Honor 7x and the Huawei Mate SE. I'm guessing the errors you're getting are because your device isn't compatible with this firmware. Sorry about that.

Yes sir, I'm aware that this tutorial is for Honor 7x, as a matter of fact, I've downloaded the board firmware files compatible with my device which is "HLMHAAL00AM00A073 Board Software general 7.0.0 r1 EMUI5.0 05021YVS".
What I did was I extract the .ef file using easy firmware extractor then I run IDT v.2.0.0. I have no idea what's the problem here.
This is the new error I got after using update_nv_rback.xml
"usb1:Start downloading with VCom!

Hoping for your recommendation. I'm so hopeless. </3
I'm sorry I can't be very helpful. I'm 17 and I've never had your device. Some things I would try would be to make sure that the phone is directly connected to the PC ( No multi-usb bus extensions ). Other than that I'm not sure what to say to help you.

Did you guys have an ADB device detected in your device manager together with HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COM X), or it should detect only the HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COM X) when the device is plugged-in using USB?
Because in my case, my laptop can't detect any ADB device, it only detects HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COM X).
Do I need to have both drivers detected first, to prevent any error in using the IDT Software tool?

I'm not sure. I know my PC detected both though so maybe it's worth a try.
I have used this method in my hardbricked honor 7x BND-L22. But i have lost my imei.......
I'm guessing either the flasher is incompatible with your phone, the firmware is incompatible with your phone, or maybe you're just flashing it incorrectly. I'm no expert though, can't help you there, sorry.
May i ask for firmware file reupload ?
(I'm looking for board firmware package with .xml file inside and i"m unable to find it by Google)

I will upload a copy shortly, I'm ultra compressing it right now. Mine includes the XML. I wish you luck!
I have hope i will be able to revive this phone.
In worst case scenario i will have to buy some credits from CDU and flash it by their app

Hi guys. After flashing board software, my phone boots to a strange Android 5 version with kinds of developper apps. I was running Android 8 before my phone bricks.
How can I go back to Android 8 or to a custom firmware ? When I try to flash the stock rom for my phone, the phone get stuck on boot loop.
Another problem is that recovery mode is in chinese, any idea of how to change back to english?
