Phone "bricked"? Unable to detect phone via adb, or go to recovery. Suggestions?
Hi,
I was trying to sideload the new MM update over adb. Somehow it got stuck at 49%. So, I rebooted my phone and tried again. MM update was getting stuck at 49% every time.
So, I tried to reboot to recovery to install the update from there. But now, my phone is not going to recovery mode. It just shows me 4 options (Reboot, Install update, Wipe data, Power off). And install update does not allow me to select sd card, so I cant even choose the update.
When I try to boot normally, it just shows the first screen (Lenovo in white, with "powered by android" at the bottom).
I tried connecting to PC, but my phone is not detected by that K3 Note manager tool, or by Pda.net tool. So, I am not sure, what I can even do next.
Solved the problem. Had to flash the whole thing again using SP flash tools and old stock roms. Newer rom was not working for some reason.
Finally on 6.0. Sadly, lost all my settings.
Hey bro tell me how to flash the MM STOCK ROM I got stuck at 49% it shows install failed & gives only option for BACK & when I does the same It goes to Main Recovery screen. I don't know what to do even. Help me please
I basically ended up flashing the full thing from the beginning. See the attached text file for the steps I followed. Finding the tools is easy, just type the tool name on google.
Tools needed:
mt65xx drivers
SP flash tool
Stock rom (only the chinese version has full rom, so you have to download that rom).
After that, you can update the stock rom to marshmallow using the recovery.
Lenovo k3 note bricked. Unable to detect it via pc , On a bootloop , SP flash tool
I replaced recovery from twrp v3.0.0 to stock recovery using its image and my phone is in bootloop and when I boot my phone it shows the first screen . After a lot of research I found its the bootloop.
But the main problem is that SP flash tool cannt detect my phone so I am unable to flash it again and install new recovery in it. I have installed k3 note manager, pda net ,ADB driver and many other but still it's not working.
Can anyone help me out regarding this problem?

hello,
as the title says, my phone bricked while trying to go back to stock rom. this is what i did: i had a well working meticulus custom rom + the meticulus twrp recovery on my phone. thing is i need the google apps and they are not supported on meticulus roms. so i tried to go back to rom, downloaded a stock rom and tried to flash it with dragging it onto my sdcard and installing it from there. so this is when it bricked, the huawei logo appears at the start but it stays and nothing will install.
i tried to reinstall the adb drivers, no success. i can only use the bootloader but i can only flash a recovery, after trying to boot into the recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img it won´t do a thing. also the recovery is stock recovery all of a sudden (erecovery). and there i only have the option to "download latest version and recovery" but that gives an error aswell.
i´ve tried to reinstall drivers, no luck. when i do a fastboot devices it shows my device but when i do adb devices it doesn´t show up anything. so the usb driver is somewhat corrupted. my computer detects the phone when in fastboot only.
i´ve tried to reinstall the drivers a hundred times, i can´t get the phone to work anymore.
i would really appreciate it if someone helps me out.
So I flashed a custom rom and it required a specific TWRP recovery. But after installing the custom rom I had to install another TWRP recovery otherwise it wouldn't boot into OS (this recovery was probably unsupported and thus my phone was forced to boot into OS)
So every time I wanted to boot into recovery mode I had to use an app like flashify and flash the first recovery to boot into recovery mode. And after finishing I had to flash the "unsupported" recovery again in order to boot into OS.
Now with the "unsupported" recovery, I installed Xposed and some modules and then restarted the device. And..........boom! The phone is stuck in a boot loop! And I can't even boot into recovery mode.
Now here's the other nightmares I'm getting:
1. Cant use ADB to flash a new recovery because my device is "unauthorized" and in order to fix that I need to go to developers option which is not possible (because of boot loop)
2. Uninstall Xposed: button combinations aren't working and I cant go to recovery mode to flash the uninstaller zip
3. vol up + vol down + power button doesn't open recovery because the recovery is "unsupported"
4. Can't even boot to fastboot mode by holding vol down + power. It tries to boot into OS and starts boot looping
5. Can't use sp flash tool to flash stock rom or recovery because whenever I connect the phone to PC, the phone tries to boot into OS and....you guessed it starts boot looping.
Now I'm out of ideas and really depressed. If anyone can help me out with this I'll be grateful forever.
My device is: Lenovo k4 note
Chipset: MediaTek MT6753
Currently on this recovery: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298981920
Got this recovery from here (recovery2): https://forum.xda-developers.com/k4-note/development/unofficial-resurrection-remix-5-8-2-t3570195
Thanks!
Update: The problem is solved after flashing stock rom via sp flash tool

I think the pc cant dtect my device same problem bro after installing new rom it keeps on rebooting after the lenovo logo. Cant also access the recovery mode. Please help me
Bro I'm not an expert. Someone from XDA discord server helped me with this. And I actually forgot the exact thing I did to be honest. I downloaded the sp flash tool on pc and downloaded the stock rom. Then flashed it to the phone. You have to connect your device via USB before. For a detailed guide you can search on YouTube with something like "how to flash stock rom via sp flash tool"
Or ask in the discord server. They will surely help you.
How did you flash that? Can you please explain step by step
Check this link: https://firmwarefile.com/lenovo-k4-note-a7010a48
You can download the stock rom from here. And there is also a tutorial on how to flash it. I followed it. Hope that helps!

Thanks, the problem is my phone is struck on the Lenovo logo, it's not turning off but my computer deducted it as Lenovo device
If ADB can detect your device then you can just flash a new recovery and you should be fine. But as I said I'm not an expert so I'd suggest you to ask for help on the XDA discord server. That's where I got help from.
Did anyone found the solution?
Thanks
Can any one find the solution of that problem , because my lenovo k4 note also stuck on boot looping logo... and vibrate like bootup time
so i accidentally destroyed my efs partition on my Samsung and last baseband and all that in the process of trying to fix that i seem to have broken the bootloader or something so the phone just flashes on the samsung logo, when i try to flash stock firmware or anything other than twrp the flash fails and the phone shows this error: "an error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency function in the smart switch pc software." the phone isn't reconised in the smart switch software though so i cant try to fix it through that. im really not sure what to do at this point, does anyone have any ideas?
Update: i managed to find the latest firmware to flash (CRGB) however my phone gets stuck on the flashing samsung logo and idk what to do now. also my efs partition is broken is there a way i can fix that? (i dont have a backup)

Hello,
I am into a TWRP boot loop.
- I can boot into TWRP
- I can update ROMs
- I can update TWRP
- I can connect to the computer and send files using mtp://[usb:001,003]/
- I can Wipe ...
But when I reboot into the system, regardless of the ROM that I use, I get again into recovery
I have read in some posts that from the TWRP command one could try to clear the first sectors of the misc partition
For instance for a Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72298526&postcount=14 it is said that this could help
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/7464900.sdhci/by-name/misc"
but ... I cannot find the misc partition in /dev from the TWRP shell ("find /dev -name misc") !
Could someone help me with this one ? I would appreciate it a lot !
Regards
Same problem on MadOS 8.1 (MT6752)!
TWRP loop
Just flash old stock 5.1 Android ROM through Flash Tool. Its pretty easy. Then turn it, turn it off and wipe data. restart TWRP, upgrade TWRP and install new Android 8.1 and gapps. Turn the phone on and its finished. You can do recovery now for the next instalation if you want. I am doing this often because I have same problem for several months. Fortunetaly google backup works pretty fine so its not problem with installing apps again. The command you wrote above doesnt work for me.
I'm having the same problem. I was using my phone today, when it started to show wifi problems (couldn't connect); so, I rebooted it and its screen started to blink; when I rebooted it again, it automatically entered into recovery mode (TWRP). After this, the phone didn't boot normally (MadOS Android 8.1) anymore - only TWRP. Even when I try to charge it, it boots into TWRP mode instead of showing the battery animation.
In my attempts to solve the problem, I firstly reinstalled the MadOS 8.1 ROM but it kept booting into TWRP mode. So I flashed an old Android 5.1 ROM I got (connected and uploaded the device successfully with SP Flash Tools) but it also kept booting into TWRP (now an older version from the 5.1 ROM). Then I uptadated the TWRP and the OS again to MadOS 8.1 but the result was the same.
With any other alternative, I came accross this topic and tried the steps described above (practically identical to what I just did), but again I hadn't any positive results.
What else could I do?
Hello,
I have finally resolved my issue !!!
a) Using "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1824_Win" and the "RC5_S3_16GB.zip" stock rom I flashed it using ---->>>>> "firmware upgrade" mode <<<<-------.
The option you can find it in Smart Phone Flash Tool, between the "Authentication File" and the table with the partitions.
b) Once done with the flasshing, boot the telephone into the Stock fimware
c) Boot into recovery (power + volume up) and flash the latest TWRP
d) Flash you new ROM
Do not hesitate to ask me if you have questions.

Thanks! With this method, I solved the problem, identical to yours !!
So I had a OnePlus 5 laying around and decided to flash pixel experience with twrp and everything was fine until I decided to update ota. Then it took me to twrp but it wouldnt let me do anything. It was just stuck in the loading screen. So I managed to reflash twrp and got it working again with factory reset but then whenever I went into twrp it never asked for a password even tho I had one. I also tried backing up but it kept failing so I took a chance and saw a video on how to flash derpfest so I wouldn't have to deal with its problems again and so I followed the instructions and downloaded the ROM to the device and wiped everything except the internal storage and USB storage so I could flash the ROM but when I attempted to flash the ROM it wasn't there. I just had a bunch of files with different names and so I attempted to adb sideload oxygen os and it looked like it worked but when I was about to reboot it said there was no os even tho I flashed it so I took a chance and rebooted. Now I have no os recovery or bootloader and I keep getting a bootloop with the OnePlus logo. Am I screwed and if anyone can plz help
Your device does not fail anything, it just needs some more software. Follow my guide and your device is fixed in 10 minutes. Download the drivers on your pc. If you do not know how to do then open readme file. Run MSM some admin and set settings currect. Connect your phone to PC with USB. Press power and vol - an vol + buttons on same time. Look on PC new device registered. It's normal your phone s screen is black. Start MSM and select download mode and unbrick tool. Wait long time and your phone os is reinstalled. Official OnePlus tool.
Msm + Driver link:
I have compressed driver and MSM to gz file, for faster download and upload. Use 7zip file manager to open gz file.

Try to reflash recovery via fastboot. Then reboot in recovery. Connect device to your PC. If the device is not shown on your PC, enable mtp in recovery settings. Copy your ZIP-file to flash to your phone. Install it from recovery, reboot.
The important thing is to get a working recovery. If you can boot in a recovery, your phone is still working.
Just follow this. You can get your phone back to stock
