Help me my Huawei Y3 II is brick now - Huawei Y3 Questions & Answers

Can anyone give me link to stock rom of huawei y3II 4g plz.I cant find any guide for help this device
plz help me and thanks for all your helps

I am thinking of buying one of these.
Stock ROM is supposed to be here:
http://android.over-blog.com/2016/05/official-huawei-android-stock-rom-firmware.html
but I haven't tried it, yet, of course since I don't own the phone yet.
(edit) Hmmm. Link no longer goes where it once did. Now I cannot find this either.

Now huawei's site has a link for LUA-Lxx,Android5.1 said to work with y3ii.
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/mobile-phones/huawei_y3ii_en-sup.htm

download from official site

nothing new in here?

How i can generate id to this phone? I have bricked phone whith bootloop. Maybe somone can know fastboot command?

Check the romanian huawei site.It does have the official rom for your model.

You are my hero! Thank you. The phone is live now

if you know the exact firmware number, you can find it with this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
i found mine with it, its pretty awesome, somehow scans huaweis entire database.
havnt tried the rom yet though. and you need your EXACT firmware number, if you could boot into os thats under settings and about phone, if you are bricked/ boot loop however, i dont know, maybe theres an adb command to find it?
sorry, im not much help.
pretty stuck myself.. heres my original post if anyone can help me:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-twrp-backups-t3726542/post74989641#post74989641
good luck man, hopefully that firmware finder tool can help you find your stock rom

Translated with Google and download factory image for your phone and flash it with sp flash tools.

regarding root
I've heard good things about Magisk for rooting
but whatever you do, I do not recommend using supersu.com(an impostor site) as that's what broke my phone...anyway, only downoad root and other system stuff from xda, or linked to from xda...if you want traditional root you can try the supersu from xda, but make backups beforehand, you need a custom recovery for it anyway...

romanian rom = unbrick
thanks for the link, the romanian rom seems fine...
no idea why there are country-based roms though, what's the difference?

the phone won't run at all to do this please please please help
please

I have made custom roms for huawei y3 ii lua-l21
Soon i will upload links

D802 touch responding incorrectly after update to 5.0.2

im completely a noob for android. after i updated D802 from 4.4.2 to 5.0.2 using lg flash tool through download mode.. the touch has gone all weird. it detects touch at wrong places.. can somebody please tell me what am i doing wrong here ?
p.s i did a factory reset before upgrading so its definitely a clean install. PLEASE HELP ASAP
I need D80220D-HKG-XX kdz.. please provide if anyone has any idea where to find it. thanks a ton
Hmm... Maybe you want to switch to another rom or boot TWRP if you have installed to see if this is hardware or software related issue. Then you can reflash or smth if it is a software issue

Can you please provide some help i have D802, 32gb. software preinstalled was as i mentioned D80220d-HKG .. i cant find it online.. if your could provide some information on how to revert back to that OS or install new rom.. i feel lost

[/COLOR]Install Lg Pc suite.
Make sure you have NO root or custom recovery
Open pc suite (make sure you have all g2 drivers they should come with pc suite but just in case)
Then select region of your phone hkg probably asian one (not sure bcz g2 in asia are f320 models)
Then find the recovery option in pc suite and it will reflash your phone with the latest firmware availible. (if root or recovery installed device WILL brick here)
Rooted or phone with custom recovery may get bricked or not flashed!!!
Make sure you select proper location for it so it doesnt flash the same rom over again!!
If that does not work try to install stock kitkat rom and again no recovery no root try to update it normally.
If any of those doesnt help we are here to help.
Good luck

Small edit here HKG actually stands for Hong Kong international. It is still d802 but probably little differences not sure. Also not only touch but probably baseband problems will occur as data and signal etc.

First of all thanks alot for your response, as raptor mentioned refurbished phones have such issues it got me curious so i followed method described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/warning-to-people-bought-phones-ebay-t2991195
and found out on the motherboard of my phone its written LS980.. currently my phone is still stuck with the issue as i have installed 4.4.2 D80220d-HKG. i tried reflashing with LS980ZV8_13 TOT using lg flash tool.. method described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRwlxeUprZE
but it doesn't download on the phone giving a failure or model mismatch.. here is my phone's imei as shown by Lg flash tool : 357246052164801
here is what imei.info shows when i write my imei there.
http://postimg.org/image/xx6rje1tj
any suggestion will be of great help sir. !
Maybe if you have custom recovery installed on it you could install ls980 stock rom easier than flashing via PC on the other hand you may want to check sprint or verizon website no sure which is which. To download ls980 drivers on your pc this might be the issue with not recognizing your device.
You can also check if there is any kind of support tool on their website might be helpful.
If that doesnt work you may install TWRP custom recovery on your device which makes flashing ls980 specific roms very easy. If you need help on that ill be happy to guide you.
Actually the method with pc suite recovery still an option maybe ? Maybe you want to give it a try.
Try different USB on pc i think it makes difference if usb 2.0 or 3.0 is attached my pc has 2.0 ports at back panel and 3.0 on front.

Thanks again for quick response, i tried upgrading via pc suite.. showed no update.. i am 100% sure the main board says LS980 and the back of the phone too.. but i tried to check imei in hard reset mode. Volume down+power till lg logo and then Vol down+vol up till is shows white screen.. the imei sure is of D802 and its showing most recent suitable firmware to be D80220b_00.kdz but im not going back there again i already tried to flash it. should i go on and flash LS980.tot anyway ?
If you can provide a link on how to install TWRP and then flash LS980ZV8_13 using it. it'd be a great help
If the board is 980 should not brick so you can flash it.
open the phone and check the motherborad model what ever says in it thats your variant .. thats the only way to make sure if yu already did look at the motherboard , not the rest of phone but motherboard and its 980 then yes use 980 rom.

Thank you all guys for your support. and just a piece of advice for noobs like me.

HI, don't know if you already solve your problem but if not, your solution is here. Just download the original firmware for your phone model and flash it with Odin. You will loose any data you have, your phone will be just like out of the box.

Download the correct firmware from Sammobile making sure its the correct one. For example, my phone is SM-G928f unlocked. So I use United Kingdon BTU. Other firmwares may freeze up your phone and you will need to re-flash again. Once you have picked your firmware, follow the instruction on screen given to you on the download page

[HELP] G900V-CID11 Toshiba-locked bootloader, looking for 6.0.1 ROM working

Hi all, I can't really figure out from all the releases posted here how to find a rom which can be installed on my phone, while I'm waiting for an unclock for CID11.
I've a 900V CD11 locked with BT1 rom sim-locked and SD-not working and now I can't use my phone at all. I'm in stuck at all.
I've rooted it already, waiting for a proper rom.
I tried some roms but I always failed, the last one "G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_ROM" which is made for locked phone, was failed to upload from chainfire.flash_0.50 in the middle of flashing.. it reboots phone and it become bricked
You may kindly indicate me the steps I've to follow to install the right rom, if I've to use safestrap or chainfire.flash_0.50.apk, and if I've to flash with Odin the bootloader and with which file.
Thank you so much, please add any consideration that you can consider important!
with the G900V, you dont want to try to unlock the bootloader or itll hard brick. You have to use safestrap
---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------
if you go to sammobile.com, you can get the stock image to flash in odin to unbrick if its just softbricked. You may want to check the G900V forums to make sure that you dont flash a version that doesnt have root available for it, as vzw has locked the device down like fort knox. Im at work currently, but can look further into this for you after 6pm cst
I tried to unlock and it didn't hard brick.
I can use safestrap but to upload what? I can't unlock it (it's CID11), and I can't find a ROM valid for this phone! (the one I used (suggested on the root phone procedure) is SIM-locked and with SD not working).
I hope someone can suggest me a rom which will work on my phone. Thank you
also, i dont know what you mean by "toshiba-locked bootloader"
Wow you're in the wrong area... Go here and scroll down to prepare your phone for root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64744405
Actually read everything and make sure you understand it before doing it because if you tried to unlock your bootloader when you have the wrong emmc (11 instead of 15) you either didn't read or or didn't understand the thread good luck and you should stick with the vzw specific threads with the 11 good luck and happy flashing

thank u for help! Are u addicted to that forum? I would really appreciate if u give me some help finding an uploadable version. I'm looking for a 6.0.1 with sim unlocked, root if possible and SD working. If there isn't exist one a LL could be good too, my phone is sim-locked now and isn't reading SD, so I can't use it.
Yes I rooted it, I can use safestrap and chainfire flash application (superSU installed). Thank you so much!
I've found the ROM, now I'm on 6.0.1 but without SD usage, looking for a fix..
Does it happen anyone that after BP1 flashing the SD card is not more available? Have you ever lost SD card with wrong ROM?
I don't know if it is electric problem or software
When you tried to unlock your bootloader it wiped it so you will need to reformat it for it to work again... If you would have read the thread you would know this?
So, does it not boot at all now?
Tes it works good, the only problem is that it can't read SD.
Yes I formatted it FAT32 already and other pone and PC works with it without problems.
When it was ROM G900FXXU1BOC7 it worked, after update to PB1 it didn't, is that possible that ROM prevent see SD?
Thank you
i believe @bad bone is correct, it sounds like the problem is the bootloader. You may have to flash a pit file in Odin to correct this. im basically bowing out on this because where your problem is may also lie a den of dragons. Im just hoping that a bump in this thread will get the attention of someone more familiar with this variant of the device. Also, locked bootloaders are the bane of Samsung using existence

Samsung S5 (SM-G900F) stopped loading

Hi,
My gf's phone stopped loading yesterday (stuck at the SAMSUNG logo), so I've tried to factory-reset it via recovery menu. Unfortunately, this didn't help, so I've decided that I need to re-flash the system. After some search I found https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-flash-samsung-stock-rom-via-odin.htm and tried to follow it. After checking the sticker behind the battery, I've learned that the model is SM-G900F. Unfortunately I wasn't sure what ROM was installed on the phone before and couldn't find any Ukrainian ROM, which is where the phone was bought originally. In the end, I decided to try installing latest ROM for Germany O2, since this is the operator that my gf uses now.
Unfortunately, Odin refused installing that image with an error "FAIL! (Auth)". After some further searching, I've noticed that when the phone is in download mode, it shows model name SM-G900V. I have no idea why and the ROM that was there before was clearly non-Verizon. Still, having no other option, I've downloaded Verizon ROM and it installed successfully. Luckily the phone has booted, but as expected, it wouldn't connect to any other network than Verizon, which is kinda useless to me given that we live in Germany and use O2. Now I wonder if it's possible to somehow root the phone, install custom recovery and flash that German O2 ROM?
The device is running Android 6.0.1 and kernel 3.4.0. How do I root it? How do I install custom recovery? Which one would you recommend?
Thanks,
Sergiy

After rooting and custom recovery installation you need to decide what ROM you want on this phone ,you can install any ROM that supports sm g900f or g900v or klte (that's your device nickname)
I am on aex and it works good for me so you can try it https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-aospextended-rom-v5-4-t3779910

Seems, you can read russian.
You may like to follow this my guide to flash SM-G900V with an international 6.0.1 ROM.
I think, you can even use VIA (O2) CSC.
P.S. Please, pay attention to:
1. The first boot after factory reset may take 12-15 min (but not more than 20), so be patient. This was the problem, I guess.
2. Read the QA section in my guide to find the answers to your questions about root and custom recovery. And feel free to ask questions (here or there).

Thanks a lot. Indeed, I have probably not waited long enough for the first boot. The instructions you linked, worked! My gf is happy to have her phone back.

You're welcome.
Радий був допомогти.
And note for the next time: it's a good idea to try clearing cache and safe boot before performing a factory reset
