First Charge your battery , your device wont be able to charge it but you have to charge using another A5 or any other way and then you have to try again to enter download mode. without battery you cannot do anything.

It´s 3Day´s old.......(oh nooo)...
Thank you for all..

Hi! I think they can't verify if you have root your phone because the phone won't turn on, they don't have access to Download Mode to see if KNOX is triggered. So, Just send your phone to Samsung and wait... :fingercrossed: I think your motherboard is died.
Also, you may try to press the power button for 15 seconds at least

Normally, it's not good to downgrade your firmware. iPhone is different
I think you should send your phone to Samsung and they'll replace it. Don't Worry

Hard Brick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/help/sm-a500fu-maybe-bricked-please-help-t3167400
Has anyone yet an idea how to avoid it (execpt not downgrading or custom recovery) ... seems to have something to do with bootloaders

when you downgrade lollipop from kitkat you must need factory reset in recovery mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have seen videos for galaxy s4 and s3 but can't find one for our a5.

Bro, you need to run commands in terminal emulator. Google it, you will find it.

Looking for someone with International/Non-Chinese Mate8 who can help.

I have recently found a way to access all versions of Mate8 firmware for the Chinese model. I found the unreleased B163 version (OTA Update only right now.)
I am hoping that someone who has a non-Chinese model, L29 or L09, with bootloader unlocked, can get in touch with me to help me get the information needed to access these files. I will need about an hour of your time, your computer, and your phone. Please send me a message if you can help.

If by erecovery you mean the original emui recovery, no i cannot. It try to install one and obviously dont find any so i have the message like "please download update file".

Just wanted to update everyone.
I had a couple people willing to help, which I am grateful for. But unfortunately, it turns out that eRecovery is not possible with the L29. My hope is that perhaps L09 has working eRecovery but I think it's unlikely.
So in summary, I no longer require this help unless someone is able to get either eRecovery or an OTA update working on their international versions.

I'm very happy to announce that I have found some firmware for the non-Chinese version. I will update about that soon

So what I've found is VERY old version, B056, for L09 model. This is before release, before NXT name when it was codenamed X100. I think it's pretty useless, but here's download in case someone wants it.
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G984/g77/v34224/f1/full/update.zip
I will continue looking. I think I'm close to a breakthrough right now.

What's kind of your brick ?
I just got brick, I couldn't' fastboot system , but I fixed it by restore backup from TWRP.

I flashed a very old firmware version when investigating how OTAs work. It bricked my phone.
The result is screen never comes on, but I can access via fastboot. Hisuite software won't repair my phone, and I can flash whatever I want with fastboot, but nothing boots up, the screen never comes on.
Probably, I'm done for a while unfortunately. I am going to try to have Huawei service it in China somehow... but it will take a while.

Sorry to ear that i hope you'll be able to retrieve your phone asap with no or less possible charge.

aw crap, very sorry to hear this @duraaraa. good thing about this though: its likely huawei wont bother to try and bring it back to life, but rather just send u a replacement, thus no risk of them finding out about unlocked bootloader, etc

P9 Lite Rollback

Hello guys, I managed to get it trough with the rollback, my phone is/was on Vodafone (VNS-L21). I tried all the versions from the tutorial and the only one that worked was a deuch one, but I guess it was L31. That's my frustration, why that worked if it wasn't the good one. I've tried to make this rollback because the phone was freezeing everytime I was entering the camera and gallery. After the rollback my version was something with "testkey" after I installed the mm version I opened the phone and since than I can't get trough the setup wizard, more exactly at WIFI+ services. No matter how many times I press the next button it won't get further!!
Please, I need some help! What shall I do? Thank you!

P9 lite stock rom

Hi, I have a p9 lite VNS-L31 european version. It has nasty vodafone branding that I want to get rid of. I have tried the metods suggested in other threads here where you copy update.app into a folder called dload on an sd card and restart the phone holding down the two buttons on the side, but all I get is it fail repeatedly at 5%.
I have read around threads but I am none the wiser. Any advice would be appreciated before I throw this thing out of the window because this crappy vodafone rom is going to die one way or another.
Thanks

im on same situation.. the only thing i can flash is c432b160 from huawei site and i can flash only via fastboot
if i flash with same method the new rom 5.0 it will hang on boot up

Sorry to hear Sergio. It looks like this has been done deliberately which makes me super mad. I have tried ADB and fastboot and it still will not let me do it.
Would rooting help to get rid of this crap on our phones?

@ba_baracuss @sergio_f
Hey guys i think you are saying two different things...
About @ba_baracuss i suggest you to rebrand your firmware from your ( C02/vodafone ) to C432 ( european general ) firmware.
To do this you need your bootloader unlocking number first....
If you are on a marshmallow firmware use K1ll3r8e toolkit
If are on nougat firmware you can use HWOTA like explained in this thread.
 @sergio_f i think you already tried everything, really don't know how you will get rid of this.
Maybe you could try to update first to B170 using DLOAD method then see if OTA offer you NOUGAT updates...

Sorry dude i had a false memory..
I checked for it too and it doesn't exist... I was asking if you had even B160 firmware.
Is your device a dual sim one ? Have you rooted and / or flashed custom recovery ?
If not maybe could be helpful make a rollback to your first firmware ( ex. B150 ) or reflash B160 again, but i'm not really sure....
Brick is behind the corner, proceed with caution..

Thanks for your reply @Dadditz. Unfortunately I can't solve it yet.
You said I need bootloader unlocking number first - I do not have it. I have tried that before, going to huawei site and putting in various phone info. At the end it gives a dead webpage, with no unlocking number.
I am on nougat and so followed your link and have downloaded the HWOTA as directed, copied to memory card, then when I enter recovery by holding down the buttons on the side, it does a factory recovery and I still have the vodafone branding.
I don't get what he does in the youtube video at all. I just get EMUI recovery and back to vodafone.
Where am I going wrong? Is it because I need the unlocking number? If so how can I get it when the huawei page doesn't work?
Thanks for your help so far, it is appreciated.

Hi,
unfortunately you cannot rebrand without unlocking you bootloader first and flashing a custom recovery...
This is very well explained on the threads i linked you my friend....
If sergio_f cannot help you ( grab the unlocking bootloader number ), maybe with DC-Phoenix, paying some euro/dollar/yen you could do this...
Do some search about...
P.S.: read carefully the guides when you find one... ( at least twice )
@sergio_f
really don't know dude, if OTA stock doesn't work, try with HISUITE, i don't know if dc-phoenix could help.
Under your responsability you could try to follow some guides about rollback or rebrand ( to your actual CUST C432 ),
reflashing then your actual firmware....
I know it's a s***ty standby, but only you can choose.
All the best guys :angel:

Thanks for the reply. I have done lots of searching and downloading for days to the point where I will soon smash the phone with a hammer.
I have tried dc unlocker and it says this:
Reading bootloader code...
No username !
I don't know what that means. Is it because you have to pay to use it and get a username or something?

Hello,
yes like i told this is a paid program. I never used it but I think it's not hard to get work done...
The site provides tutorials on how to read the bootloader code... here
and how to unlock it... here, and a lot of tutorials are present here on XDA too, just search...
Delete ( eventually ) registered firgerprints, enable USB-DEBUGGING and OEM-UNLOCK to proceed...
Usually somethings missed so it's very important to read the guides at least a couple of times.
Best regards

yes like i told this is a paid program. I never used it but I think it's not hard to get work done...
The site provides tutorials on how to read the bootloader code... here
and how to unlock it... here, and a lot of tutorials are present here on XDA too, just search...
Delete ( eventually ) registered firgerprints, enable USB-DEBUGGING and OEM-UNLOCK to proceed...
Usually somethings missed so it's very important to read the guides at least a couple of times.
Best regards

Thanks Dadditz. I have now got a bootloader code, but cannot enter it.
I have tried the guide on the dc unlocker link and also found one here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701 using SRK tool, but neither can detect the phone.
The droidth SRK tool sticks at 'waiting for device'.
I have enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock, but it still doesn't work.
I will keep trying but if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.
Oh, and I have tried asking on dc-unlocker forum but my post does not appear. I am guessing they block new members posts until admins enable it or some bull****.
Thanks
