Explain the exact steps and error you received after trying to flash recovery for kk through fastboot. Then only I can be able to help.
Also check if you can enter into fastboot (by pressing POWER + VOL DOWN) and recovery (POWER + VOL DOWN + VOL UP and leave the POWER key once the lenovo logo shows up).

Then the only method is qfil method
Btw, did you tried the methods i advised to boot into recovery and fadtboot. Because in 90% cases, people were not doing it the right way to boot into recovery, and were stating that it's a hard brick.

For QFIL to work you have to use the diagnostic mode on your device. First DOWNLOAD THESE USB DIAGNOSTIC DRIVERS and install them. Then press VOL UP + POWER on the device. A menu will open where you have to choose "Download". Then the screen will turn black and then connect your phone to pc. The device manager should show USB diagnostic on 9008 on com5 or something in the PORTS. Update the driver, using the drivers I provided; if the drivers didn't get installed automatically for the phone. Then, if everything is fine, you should see your phone on QFIL. Then click on choose build and flash the row firmware for your phone, which you can DOWNLOAD FROM HERE.

Bro, its nothing like that. I'm just another guy, like you, who has done things and hence know how to do them. I'm not a dev. I have no idea how a ROM, or kernel, or for that matter how a bug is fixed or how a patch is made or even how to ise Git. So, basically I just test things, that's what I do. You can't even me with the repected devs.
And, you should not crirticise them, in any way. They cook up the roms and kernels for us for whatever time they could manage. And, note this, They do not do it for themselves. They are not making any money out of this. They are doing all this hardwork for us. So, the least you could do is to be respectful to them, for what they are doing.
And, moreover, they don't reply much at such threads because, firstly they don't have thay much time. All the spare time they have, they use it to bring something good for us. Guys like me, who have some time, are the ones who can (and should) reply and help others. Secondly, the bricking issue has been reported hundreds, or even thousands, of times now. So, instead of asking the same question again and again, which kind of is spamming the forums, one should first check google and xda if the same question has been answered earliet. I, myself, has answered the same things to folks hundreds of time now. That, even makes me angry sometimes. I'm like, Due Seriously. You could get the answer a few posts below. And even a blind person could see that. But, alas, it is what it is.
So, in all, Respect Devs, for what they are doing for us. They are not obliged to do it for us and are not even paid for it. They do it just so that guys like us, who otherwise would've stuck with stock KK or buggy stock LP can enjoy the goodness of Marshmallow and Nougat roms.
Sigh...I don't write this long usually. But you made me type all of this.

Bro don't misunderstand me. Whatever you said is totally correct. I'm not criticizing any developer and as you said without them we would have stuck in buggy lp kk roms. But every body has their own perspective .There is no offence in not answering any question but instead of that some people insult by saying you don't know anything(Though the question is not nerdy type) . You can see this happening in WhatsApp groups as I experienced this personally.
I meant that to those people. So no offence to any developer. You need not take it to that serious . It's just my opinion and I'm sure everybody has their own opinions.

Already sent my phone to repair and they told me it was motherboard. Strange because I can see the red notification light even if the phone is dead so I doubt it was motherboard. I still didn't receive the phone, I just canceled it. However I will try your method. I end up buying a new phone lenovo s60-a. It has the same hardware as lenovo a6000/+. Does it safe to flash any custom ROM from lenovo a6000/+ to lenovo s60-a? I'll make a backup first of course. This device is awesome but no custom ROM.

Hi,
My Mediatek Micromax Canvas Knight A350 is totally dead. Not responding at all to any buttons. No lights or battery indicator is displayed. But some warmth can be felt on the phone.
When I connect the phone to the pc with a USB cable it is detected as MTK USB Port Comxxxx
But when I use SP flash tools to download the preloader...it does nothing. Please let me know what to do...Thanks and God bless you.

Using SP Flash Tool, flash the preloader.bin first.Use meta mode if not detected,all three buttons together while connecting and keep pressed until flashing starts.
If flashing was successful then your phone should at least be able to vibrate when you press the power button or boot if the correct files are present on your phone; else, flash other necessary files to make the phone boot up and start working normally again.
P.s. writing again and again is painful as I'm lazy-ass.
I'm thinking of making a thread about this but again,I'm lazy-ass.
it worked...wow...thanks ...but now it gets into a boot loop

Thanks buddy, the phone started but now it ends into a bootloop. Tried getting into custom recovery and doing a factory reset. It starts and goes all the way through and finally restarts and the same thing again...bootloop....Please suggest what should I do...Thanks and God bless.
In the meanwhile i tried flashing a new custom ROM from xdafirmware.com. But the SP flash tools downloads upto 9.86MB and then the download stops...What could be the reason? Also please let me know if Miracle Box is any kind of solution for these kind of problems! Thanks and God bless.

What did you actually do?
What caused bootloop if full v3 rom was actually flashed?
Also,there's no custom roms on xdafrimware.com,it's only stock roms and make sure whatever you flash is for A350 only!
You can find everything on our blog:

Do you even know A350's battery is non-removable?
The only way you can remove it is by disassembling the device but doing that will compromise with your battery life.It should only be used in worst case scenario and everything else fails to work!

First of all, I apologize for my mistake. It was not a custom ROM but a Canvas Knight Stock ROM... The file name is this...Micromax_A350_V2_040614_KitKat_(by_xdafirmware.com). It's a version 2 (unmerged storage). However, earlier I had flashed a version 3 (merged storage) ROM and since it was constantly giving me trouble I tried to reflash version 2 ROM...But unable to do so...it gets stuck at 9.6MB or 0% in the SP Flash tool.
I tried the format+download option too. But in vain. Guess I am doing something wrong! What could it be? Thanks and God bless.
Btw, I have been through your blog in the past and benefited from the same. Thanks

Version 3 booted well the first time...it went all the way...i was setting it up nicely...and it hung and just stopped. Ever since then I tried to reboot it would not load...the Canvas Knight logo with the sound would come on and then restart or get hung at that point. In short, it would not fully boot anymore except for that once!
So I decided to do away with version 3 and thought version 2 would be fine because that's what was originally on my phone...but now this is the problem...i mean the SPFT gets hung at 0%.
Thanks and God bless you.
On a different note, I would still love to have version 3 if possible since I plan to install a custom ROM...most likely Cyanogenmod....
Latest update...
Latest Update…
I finally managed to successfully flash a Kitakat 4.4.2 vs. 2 (unmerged storage) stock rom…I downloaded the file again from xdafirmware.com and flashed it. There was no problem. The phone has started and its up since the last one hour or so.
Before booting I entered into stock recovery and did a wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition. So far no problem. I have not yet switched on my wifi coz I am worried it might go off again and enter a bootloop.
Battery was 95% when booted...its now 94% since one hour...I have not used the phone at all though...
Now I have a barrage of questions…
1) The IMEI is gone…I know how to get it back. But would appreciate a proper guidance on this…I have tried using Maui Meta 3G ver 6.1 and was successful in restoring my original IMEI numbers. Is there a better way out? Or should I stick to this one? Should I use IMEI&SN Writer?
2) NVRAM WARNING: Err= 0x10 …how do I fix this…I have never tried fixing this before. So no idea whatsoever. I have no backups of the original stock rom. Greatest mistake I ever did.
3) How to restore my original serial number (S/N) of the phone? I have the Original S/N but don’t know how to do it. Also, is S/N being restored a necessary requirement like IMEI numbers since it is linked to the SIM/Network?
4) How to unlock the bootloader? This is the biggest headache. I believe one cannot install custom ROM’s without unlocking the bootloader.
5) What are the best rooting apps? Is SuperSu good enough to root?
6) Which is the best custom recovery for Canvas Knight?
7) Final question, how to go about using this tool Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3
Sorry for the trouble. But I have messed up many times in the last one month with innumerable flashing of the ROM’s and zip files. Now, once bitten twice shy I want to play safe.
So please let me know your thoughts if they are fail proof and time tested. Thanks for all your help. God bless.

Well I hate giving bad news to people but I might know what causing all this.
As you say,the phone booted fine now but you'll likely see random hangs and sudden reboots in using it,to be sure,use it for atleast 2 hrs constantly and then we can proceed further with your questions.
In mean time,check this post:

Well I tried using it for a while...no internet...just going through settings and checking...then I enabled Developers options and connected USB. Tried to check if the phone was listed on ADB etc....but then it went into a bootloop and kept shutting down after periodic bootloops...now its totally down...not responding at all.
Anyway, I think I know how to get it back when everything else fail. Until then stay blessed and don't give up.
God bless.

Hi, Sorry for the sudden disappearance. I really didn't know how to reply to your "HOW"? But I knew there was a CERTAIN possibility of getting the phone back...I call it faith in God. And I have plenty of faith and I believe in the impossible coz I have seen some of the most impossible things happen in my life and around me over the years. So plain hope and faith in God was what I banked on. But I have no logical explanation to give on the phone starting again smoothly. I have been struggling with this phone for the last 45 days. And this is the first time the phone has really stayed put and it got booted in just one go!
Also your signature line was a source of continued inspiration to hit out against all the odds and doubts.
I would now kindly appreciate any help in restoring the phone to full functionality...I mean would love to hear answers for my questions from the previous post.
In the meanwhile, I did a bit of study on the Miracle Box and a tool called ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL_V2.1...
But, I don't want to jump the gun and get going...Will wait for expert advice. Until then God bless us all. Stay blessed. And yes, thanks for all the help. Shalom.

Hi Ak,
Thanks for your reply. My device is up and about since the last hmmm...to be exact...26 hours. I didn't have any reboots or bootloops or anything for that matter.
However, I need to set it up complete...customization I mean...and these are some of the problems I am facing... Quoting a part of the previous post to save typing...
Quote "Now I have a barrage of questions…
1) The IMEI is gone…I know how to get it back. But would appreciate a proper guidance on this…I have tried using Maui Meta 3G ver 6.1 and was successful in restoring my original IMEI numbers. Is there a better way out? Or should I stick to this one? Should I use IMEI&SN Writer?
2) NVRAM WARNING: Err= 0x10 …how do I fix this…I have never tried fixing this before. So no idea whatsoever. I have no backups of the original stock ROM. Greatest mistake I ever did.
3) How to restore my original serial number (S/N) of the phone? I have the Original S/N but don’t know how to do it. Also, is S/N being restored a necessary requirement like IMEI numbers since it is linked to the SIM/Network?
4) How to unlock the boot-loader? This is the biggest headache. I believe one cannot install custom ROM’s without unlocking the boot-loader.
5) What are the best rooting apps? Is SuperSu good enough to root?
6) Which is the best custom recovery for Canvas Knight?
7) Final question, how to go about using this tool Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3" Unquote.
In the meanwhile, I have done a little bit of study and RnD of the miracle box/MTK Droid Tools/S&N Writer tool etc. on my old Canvas HD 116. And I realized that the Miracle Box is one good tool. The IMEI No. can be changed in a jiffy. Rooting is extremely easy using this box. I did via adb.
In short, a bit too confused with too much knowledge on hand. Looking for wisdom to apply this knowledge correctly. There could be many simpler ways too!!! Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks and God bless us all. Shalom.

Okay don't panic!
Clearly your device is fine by hardware stuff so let's fix some myths and problem of yours.
Firstly,this is mt6592 so you don't have to unlock any boot loader stuff.You can just root your device using kingroot or kingoroot(google it).
For more please read out this whole section,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.com/2015/10/rooting-canvas-knight.html?m=1
Now I believe you have root by now. Now all you need to do is get a recovery and as you're on v2 you can find it here,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5W6R0DsDjWTU1o3TEpfWGFsMEE/view
This is philz recovery with OTG support.As you've root just download the IMG file and flash it though flashify,you can find it on Play store.So you've recovery!
Again,these are just suggested methods,you can do all that with other methods too.Also please stop wasting time on stuffs like miracle boxes and etc etc.
Secondly to get your imei back it would be very easy as you've recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6-QF5uchBNhbFlfVk1wOEthbms/view
Just flash this file in recovery and everything shld be fine.
Now to fix Nvram error,just extract the folder from this backup zip,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByuIKfMkBBxBaXBZRHJnNHVRMVk/view
And using any root explorer(I prefer es file manager) go to /data root and replace nvram folder with the folder in this zip
Now the best recovery would be philz recovery for v2 but I greatly suggest you to flash v3 for a variety of reasons and custom ROMs.Yes,you need to shift to v3 to get LP or MM and new updated ROMs though you can still flash available ROMs for v2 which you can find here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/all-roms-link-for-v2.html?m=1
Very less isn't it? That's because storage barrier in v2.
You can find various mods here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/mods.html?m=1
You can find correct stock ROMs here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/stock-rom.html?m=1
Flashing the sim fix above will eventually fix SN too.
And yes many custom ROMs are bundled with SuperSU so you should use that.
To convert from kingroot user to super su use this guide,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ca...ck-switch-kingroot-to-supersu-easily-t3426965
And lastly mtkdroidtools is a good tool and you should definitely have it just in case for backing up stuff and tinkering with ADB.
With all that said,you should join our Whatsapp group for more faster help and updates by messaging me on my Whatsapp No. +919468519959
Enjoy!
Edit: writing all this is a pain in ass,at least one thanks is deserved
Thank you so much...

Hi Ak,
I went through your entire post and more or less got most of the useful and helpful information. I have not gone through all the links and will do so in due course.
I have been on your website and have read quite a bit and was happy to see the dedication and commitment to help people like us.
I am sure the phone like you said is stable and away from hardware issues. I will consider flashing vs. 3 soon. Yes, i agree with you there are more choices for vs. 3. I did peep into the website last week to see the big list of custom ROM's for vs. 3.
Last but not the least, God bless you. Shalom.

What about joining our whatsapp group?
Hi, guys.
Today, my OP5 decided to troll me. I was using normally him, when suddenly it started to lags pretty bad. I restarted and he continued to lags and freeze. I made a wipe cache via stock recovery (i didnt made any change at all in it, no unlocked bootloader, no root). That's when my nightmare begins. It begins to bootloop. Sometimes i was able to start the boot animation, but then it just restarts to the beginning. I tried a lot of tips, wiping cache, system, etc. Then, i left it charging. When i tried to turn on again, it worked like nothing ever happened to him. I made a backup of my personal data fast, scared to him suddenly restart again. After that, i decided to made a Factory Reset, clean up everything. When i did it, he started the lag and freezes again. I was at lost. That's was when i decided to use the official unbrick tool, to make the cleanest OP5 ever possible. I grabbed the archives from this link and followed this tutorial. When i was executing the programa, in the userdate.img, he showed a error. When i saw it, i just stopped and closed the program. Now, my OP5 is hardbricked. The only sign of life that i get from him is when i connect him at the PC. I can identify it as qualcoom 9008, but when i try to run the program, he just fail and show me error 258.
Plz, i need some orientations. I have been read things for about 10 hours and didnt found a solution. I live abroad for any oneplus tech center, and i believe, for the other posts that i read, that online tech support wouldn't help me a lot. I really don't like to make this kind of post but i am kind of desesperate. I dont have money to afford another phone
Again, sry to disturb you all. Sry if i broke some rule of the forum too. And sry for my bad english, i hope that i was able to communicate right.
EDIT: I just tried in another computer. Same error appears. :'(
Hummm why follow a Unbrick Topic with tools for ...3T ?
Maybe you have a encryption problem, all your Tools/Topic are so old for the actual versions (Oreo 8.X OOS / 8.1 OOS)
I advise to you (in the first time), to flash this TWRP (using fastboot, very simple) just follow this guide : here
If you can flash TWRP, your phone is not bricked, you will boot in TWRP:
- Format Data > tape "yes" > Reboot in TWRP
- Copy/Past xXx 10.0 ROM to test, install and xXx Rom will fix/install for you the best OOS Custom ROM for your OP5 with a great Aroma Installer.
If TWRP with this rom work perfectly, you wil able to restore a official stock OOS for sure, just flash original/stock recovery (fastboot), wipe all data/partitions, install your OOS rom and it's fine
I think @cidsantiago says they bootloader isn't unlocked.
He needs to know that unlock the bootloader implies lost all /sdcard data and also installed apps and settings) before start the TWRP install process...

I used the tools for 5. Just the procedure that i get from this topic. :T I am gonna try the method that you gave me now brb.
EDIT: Just tried this. My cellphone cant be recognized in fastboot devices. As a said, i am not getting any response for him, just when i plug it in the PC. So i wasn't able to unlock bootload or anything like that. I tried just to plug it and see if fastboot was able to identifying it, but it wasn't.

Wipe your device data from the stock recovery.
You loss the settings and downloaded apps but not requires to unlock the bootloader.

I can't access recovery anymore, as i said. The only sign of life that i get is when i connect it in the PC.
I guess i have to do something to restore the basics partitions of my cellphone. Like recovery, boot, etc. But i just have the official tool to do that. There is another way? Like transfering directly by the COM port?

I had the same exact problem with my old One plus One. Spent like 4 days trying to unbrick it. That msm tool did the fix for me. Also, in that link to the guide you provided, doesn't it flash the Chinese version of the OS? If that's the case, I don't think it was a good idea to do so lol

In one of the links, it had the OOS and the HOS. I tried to use the msm tool in one of them, but it didnt worked I'm gonna try the archives in this link that you gave me. It may work brb with updates.
Don't worry though, it happens to plenty of people. It happened to me as well, and everyone eventually fixes it. It is unlikely that it is a hardware problem, so just following the correct steps should get it working. Keep trying stuff out, it's very good that your computer recognizes it as a qualcomm port, as far as I know that's all you need to flash the necessary things in order for it to boot.
I am getting the same error 258 in this post. :T I posted there to see if the OP can help me. But thx for your help @Mash1ro

2 of the people had the same error as you, and one of them solved the issue by changing the USB port.
---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------
But don't use the same files and all that stuff, since that's for the 3T. Try to pick out the things that might help but use the files for the OnePlus 5 only
After try the unbrick procedure in 3 different PCs, using about 10 different USB ports, i still getting the same error in the same step. When downloading cache.img, he stuck in about mid bar, and shows me the warning: SendProgramCommand Failed, Error: 258". Besides that, he turns on the green led and stop being recognize by the PC. Then i have to hold power and turn off the green led. :T Maybe i can use a linux to access the partitions?

yeah... But it is kind of weird. He was running smoothly, until suddenly started lag and freeze. He didn't fall or any of that... I think is just a defective phone. Doesn't find another explanation to that.
I think your best option is to RMA the device through OnePlus. Since you haven't rooted it or anything, they should repair it for you.

Guys, in the end, i RMA my device back to the seller and gonna have a refund Thank you for your help. So sad that this phone came faulty :T
Best regards to you all!
Yes folks,
As I said, I discovered SUPER BRICK, TOTAL BRICK, COMPLETE FAILURE or whatever yoy want to name this new brick. It has been like this: I was following the instructions to update oreo in HONOR 8 LITE, at the end I had to write some codes in twrp (advance / terminal ...) so it was starting to do the last update (sd card update.zip) and by accident I touched the screen where it appears: REBOOT, so the phone restarted but the screen is not working when it tries to enter erecovery mode, so here is the list of my problems:
- it does not work: erecovery (so I can not recover the phone)
- fastboot works: when I install something (twrp or firmware, I have tried everyone of them) the phone does not start
- if I try to go to TWRP (after installing an oreo one): the screen seems to break and you can not see anything
Please, my phone is 2 months old, man I need to make it work again, I need it.
Help help help
You should post this in Honor 8 lite forum ...
But whatever, you said that fastboot works if so you can try to use huawei update extractor and flash system,boot,recovery,cust that *should* work

I wrote it down here because it is fully compatible and there are more roms here than the honor 8 lite forum, that´s why, it was not a mistake it is because I am desperate.
I can not install BOOT, I have tried and it does not work, anyways I need help.
Thanks in advance

Im really sorry i cant help
There is a way to fix that.. but... Its too complicated and hard to do..
Since your phone is new, you probably dont want to buy new.
This is going to cost you a bit.
First you will need to find honor 8 lite or p8 lite (if you say they are the same)
that is well.. dead, open it take out a memory chip on both phone and place chip from dead phone to yours. If you dont know how to do that take it to the repair shop and they should know how to do that.
As i sad its very hard and it costs, but it works if done properly.
I saved my friends phone like that, idk what he did but phone wasnt visible in adb, fastboot and recovery didnt work just blue screen.
Note:
This needs to be done very carefully or ypur phone will be 100% dead

DC Phoenix worked fine, it's been awesome, I installed the rom and my phone is alive, I wonder: why I couldn't do it with ADB? Why this software is so powerful? And finally, why nobody is making kind of software like this for free? I mean, dc phoenix must be like the software that Huawei technicians use in their lab and samsung has ODIN that is so powerful as well and is free.
Anyway, if anybody has a problem as mine, you have to pay but it has solution. By the way, I went to tech service and they did not do anything because I bought my phone in China and they could not touch more than european phones, but they told me something that made me think that my trouble had a solution: rewrite the rom and that point convinced me that DC Phoenix would work, and so did it. Thank you all for the info.
Same for me, how to fix please. Bricked following this "guide"
https://www.haky86.com/2018/05/12/install-emui-8-0-huawei-p8-lite-2017/
I was on official Emui Nougat, wanted Oreo, forced update with nocheck, everything is broke except fastboot.
When I want to flash his OreoTWRP.img with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/img" it work but can't reboot to recovery.
I press Power + Vol+ but it reboot "phone untrusted" with Vol+ for going to eRecovery (usualy it's here you can shutdown the phone) but error mode.
Maybe the OreoTWRP work after my command but can't boot into it. Please help.

Bro my P8lite is also bricked, I accidentally wiped the EMMC then I showed it to a repairer and he somehow took me to fastboot mode, now I can't flash anything because that repairer has partitioned the EMMC and now it is showing 486mb total storage so no ROM is flashing because of size. Can you please give me your USERNAME and PASSWORD of DC Pheonix as you've already bought it. It will solve my issue and it will also save me some money.... I will be very thankful to you....
WAITING FOR A POSITIVE REPLY.
I bought it some time ago and it was a 72 hours license and it expired so I do not have anything from that situation. I will check my computer but I will not probably find anything.

Hello just looking at that pic is enough. That happens cause you installed the wrong firmware. Either get a proper nougat rom for your device and install boot, recovery and system images from fastboot or a oreo version. Either way that screen means its the wrong firmware version or wrong zone. for example you can be trying to install a europe rom in a asian device. hope this helps

Problem was solved, I used DC Phoenix and installed a rom, but I did it some time ago. Thanks anyway
I have tried recovery mode and factory reset.
I'd like to refashioned the os and give that a try. But I don't want a custom Rom unless that Rom can be updated without flashing.
I really don't want to have to buy another phone right now.
I have googled the issue but the links are from 2017. I want some up to date links with current info.
Also a nice step by step tutorial would be nice. As I'm not experienced flashing and whatnot. Oh and no sarcastic comments like "step 1: find the stock Rom, step 2 plug into pc and flash" because that really doesn't help.

Only using attitude because people always send a bunch of useless inks from years ago with links to mega or google drive that no longer exists.
I just wasn't in the mood for the same crap I was told when I tried to flash stuff onto an LG G4. Stuff like being given instructions assuming I'm experienced and dead links. I'm tired of clicking on mega and drive links only to find what I'd been searching for has been deleted.
Even new phones have mega files people would remove.
I'm not blaming anyone. I was just sternly for the right stuff and no vague responses.
Yes I can use the search.
I should just garbage this phone. All I've read about it was issues and issues. Every SD810 and SD808 has been nothing but a mess.
I'll easily blame qualcomm for that one.
If you aren't experienced and not willing to take the time to learn...don't bother trying to flash. And regardless of the fact that all people don't provide "relevant" info/help, you should still be thankful. No one here has to do/help with all this stuff, it is a community and should be appreciated.

I can't install the android USB drivers because the PC doesn't connect to ANY port on my PC so I can't update the drivers (restarted, full shutdown, two different cords)
I can't get into the phone to access developer mode so I can unlock the bootloader
Let's start there. I found a video on youtube, but the link the guy provided was dead, it was a 3 year old link afterall.
I think, I am doing it right?
I am installing the Android Developer thing so I can get the drivers installed for the device.
then I can try and unlock the bootloader "somehow" I have yet to look into this.
I just HATE HATE HATE, when I am trying to do one thing and 6 other things get in my way and then things stem and branch off from those things that it results in me being so far from the original task that it's just aimless.
on BB10, to flash new OS, you downloaded a EXE file for windows, pressed it twice, said yes I am an admin and BAM, os was flashed.
Why can't android be that simple.
EDIT: if I let the phone sit, it goes to an "encryption unsuccessful" screen then hangs there for ages then just restarts. Sometimes I can get a factory reset option, but that doesn't do anything.
I went into recovery mode to wipe it, NOTHING
wiped the cache, nothing.
I am very very very frustrated.That's all. I just didn't want to be frusterted and then someone nicely comes along and says "watch this video, it has everything you need" then that video has dead links or something. I still am frusterated.
Why is the OS failing to encrypt, why is it corrupt?
Okay, new issue.
I can't get into the OS to bootloader unlock the phone. So I get an oem unlock error through adb. I guess this is the end of the road right?
Look for nexus 6p 4 core fix and you'll find the info you need.

Not sure on these questions. I believe it is stock. I bought it from an acquaintance that said he was just upgrading. He showed me it working. I got it a week later and its doing this. Trying to see if its fixable before addressing him. I believe it was stock and with oreo. I just know he was saying its the new android 1 and for 2 years of updates.

I googled and spoke to nokia. there are no help centers in the usa. does anyone have directions or links to reflash it myself? I saw after googling that they released a fix for the 7.1 plus that was bricking due to the update.

Hi, you'll need to unlock the Bootloader first, which is not possible ( i think ) as Nokia does not allow this as yet, for most devices. On my 6.1 OEM unlocking is greyed out and Nokia just said stay tuned when I asked to get an unlock key. Can you get into Fastboot mode - hold Vol down and power ( while you have a usb connected to power / pc )??
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-61-plus/fastboot-mode/
It might be worth trying a factory reset FIRST, which could work.. follow this - https://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-61-plus/recovery-mode/
Let me know how you go

I tried all of this in the youtube video I posted. is like it doesnt have a boot loader information on it. It seems as thought there is zero software in there excpept for the android one screen and the amount of battery life when its off. When not plugged in I get absolutely zero response from the phone, even though its 100% charged. Is there a way I can put something on a memory card and try to access it from there into boot mode, or maybe use some software to access the phones internals to install through a computer usb?

Sorry I missed that, I thought you had to be doing something wrong. I've never been in this sort position & I've been flashing phones for years,anyway, I'm a bit lost as to what to do next. Without a care centre to help, i can not find any other way to get that phone to boot. As every method I know and have read about, requires an unlocked bootloader and or getting into download mode or the recovery. The Nokia online service tool (ost), requires an unlocked bootloader to flash firmware. Also if the PC does not recognise the phone is another issue.
I will keep looking into how to correct this issue & if I find anything, I'll let you know.
This maybe worth reading, as it may hold a solution

I know its not related to your device specifically, though its interesting. If we can get official OST LA software and someone's log in details, we can flash firmware to Nokia's with locked bootloaders... I'll be back in touch soon.

Great! I have hope once again! Why doesnt this apply to my phone? They all reference the nokia x6 or 6.1 plus. I will attempt these steps and see if any success or change occurs while awaiting your response.

I also found this tool, to flash firmware ( .nbo files ) - https://androidmtk.com/use-sut-l3-tool going to have a look for some firmware for you.
This is one option - https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6-2018/help/nokia-x6-nokia-6-1-plus-global-rom-t3822657
I thought i shared a link about other models, with the same issue ( soft brick ). I was wrong.

I have been reading, others are reporting, getting into recovery mode can be difficult.
When phone is on connect with USB cable to PC. Turn phone off, immediately press volume up button after this. Wait for the little Android to appear. Press power + volume down to access the recovery menu. -> this might take a few tries cause you have to be really precise, but this was the same on my Nexus 5X.
When you have time and patience, could you try to get into recovery again.

I got the ost installed but I either dont have proper firmware or the phone is that bricked that it will not accept any boot. The image shows the result I get.
Does anyone have any or know of any functional firmware for this phone?
