Hi,
I recently have fallen victim to this reboot loop issue and yes it is my own fault - all I wanted was to be able to get control of my permissions and installed Pwnmymoto - What I read later on a different thread was that the OTA update would brick my phone.
Now, I could careless since I can get a new phone.
I just have one simple question - Is there anyway to connect to my phone and extract all the data out via adb or any other manner since I know my encryption password?
Here is the breakdown to make things simple.
1. OTA updated keeps phone in infinite reboot loop.
2. Phone is encrypted.
3. I want to be able to retrive my data and just do not know how to connect to my phone because it is encrypted.
I truly would appreciate any help regarding this matter!!
Sincerely,
Tony

this has been answered in more than one thread,
You don't have a valid recovery on your phone, you need to fastboot flash --> system, boot, recovery. This will get you out of the bootloop and let your phone update normally.

Thanks for the reply man. I will be honest, I did try to search within the forums and there were so many articles I literally was slightly overwhelmed.
Would you be able to point to a specific thread which would provide some steps, I am sure I can follow it. I am a little gunshy since I ended up bricking my phone when I updated. I performed the root process no problem and was happy I could still actually do this stuff. I just dont want to make things worse than they already are.
Thanks again!

you should join the G+ community for much better and more pointed help. The forums get cluttered.
1) download correct 4.2.2 (57-1) FXZ file
2) extract boot, system, recovery from the file
3) fastboot flash each of the partitions to your phone
(fastboot flash boot boot.img)
(fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
(fastboot flash system system.img)
Doing this will put your phone in a state where it is ready to update.

what the above poster said is all accurate. but you can get your phone out of the bootloop by connecting it to fastboot mode and running fastboot erase cache. after you do that the phone will boot normally. Then you can take whatever data you want off it. then do what the above poster said to take the ota.
What happened was the ota downloaded to the phone and is forcing it to try and update the phone every time it boots. You need to erase that download which is located in /cache and then it wont force reboot thhe phone. this has also been answered many places. basically every thread titled brick or bootloop or whatever.

erasing cache will cause the following to happen,
You reboot your device, it downloads the update, you bootloop again, you wipe cache, your reboot your device, you download the update, your bootloop again.
@jayboyyyy why not just have him fix the problem that is causing the update and then he will update correctly to KitKat, isn't that the best possible outcome?

well for starters, it seems he is trying to go from original stock FW to 4.2.2 (he said he is using pwnmymoto so he isn't on 4.2.2 yet).
He also said he wants to keep root so he isn't trying to take 4.4 because he won't have root on that FW.
While flashing that stuff will fix his problem and allow him to take the ota, I always like to make backups of everything before doing that. he won't be able to make a tibu backup of his current set-up by doing what you said because it will remove root once he flashes that stuff. So when he then gets root on 4.2.2 he will not have a back up to work with. (I believe you were thinking he was trying to take 4.4, which he may be, but i didn't read it that way).
If he is trying to take 4.4 he should know that he won't have root and he might never have root on 4.4. So if it is essential to him, he should only be taking the 4.2.2 update.
And once he erases cache. he can freeze otas from popping up on his phone. Also, he won't keep getting stuck in a BL because it prompts you and asks if you want to download the latest ota. it doesn't auto download it, so if he doesn't click yes then it won't download or cause a Bbootloop.
Finally, if he doesn't want to try and root with rockmymoto to save time, he can just install pwnmymoto without running it, then take the ota, then it will automatically root the phone for him. This is why i said what i did.

Guys, Thank you for your input, it is really appreciated. ( I am glad the forums are still alive and just as helpful as when they started! )
I see that I may not have been as clear as I could have and for that I apologize.
My only goal at this time is to recover my data, since I have activated my old phone ( couldnt wait since it happened on sunday and this is my only phone).
Would the flashboot erase cache method fulfill my only goal which is to recover the data?
If so, are there any different steps that need to be taken to accomplish this?
Thank you again both for your input. If only the world would be discussing two SOLUTIONS to any problem, or worked as this thread , man would it be a much better place!!

if you know how to use fastboot then no other steps are necessary. If you had root explorer on your phone, then you could just go to the cache directory and erase it before the phone bootloops again. most people have like 30 to 40 secs before it loops. Just another option. But all you need to do is remove the file from cache.

Just a quick question - Will it matter if my device is encrypted? I only ask because it seems most tutorials never cover encrypted phones.
At least the 10 or so I have read, even youtube videos .
Thanks!

doubt it matters. I think encryption just encrypts user data and other stuff, not all of the phones files. but i could be wrong. I jsut think thats probably the case. i think encryption can cause problems when people are trying to write to certain directories that might be encrypted. I don't think you should run into an issue with the cache though. Not like it wills crew anything up trying.

My Moto X is encrypted and can confirm that it will be fine after you fastboot flash boot, system, recovery. My phone was doing something similar when I tried to install OTA without returning the recovery partition to stock. One thing that I learned was that if you are trying to run fastboot command from an Ubuntu machine make sure you run it via sudo, otherwise your regular user will most likely not have permission and the fastboot command will fail.

To all,
The forums and people in our arena never fail, fastboot erase cache worked perfect. I have recovered all my data and now I will definitely continue to performing a full recovery with stock image.
Thank you again all for all of your help, I am glad to see at least this corner in the internet still is alive and kicking!
This is the first time I tried to root my phone. My phone is a Galaxy s4 GT-i9505
I followed this guide to the letter and it was supposed to be easy peasy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlVCjtRUrgs
Well when I was doing all that I got to the last step where I had to update my binaries but that didn't work and superSU kept closing itself down.
Someone recommended I do an factory reset and repeat all the steps, but then when I got back into my system I kept getting errors saying SuperSU has stopped and Youtube has stopped.
Those were really annoying and I tried another factory reset but I couldn't get rid of them, somehow they kept inserting themselves in my app list eventhough the apps did not work.
So I used TWRP to do an advance wipe and that's when things went horribly wrong since I had no clue what I am doing :S
I ticked the boxes Dalvik cache - Internal storage - Data and something else I can't remember.
After that was completed I could not boot up my phone anymore and now I'm freaking out trying to follow guides to fix this.
like this one : http://trendblog.net/fix-soft-bricked-android-device-first-aid-guide/
I installed this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226263
But the problem is that my computer is not opening the device anymore through the USB port, and when I try to install these drivers : http://androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/galaxy-s4-windows-drivers-3264bit/
there's an error when installing it fails on mobile device MTP or something probably since my computer does not reckognize the mobile device anymore.
I don't have a SD card atm I never owned one. I might need to get one in order to fix this?
I'm totally new to this and totally regretting ever trying this and being so stupid and impatient as to try an advanced wipe before informing myself well enough.
I'm freaking out like mad here and now I have to go to sleep which I won't be able to catch ofc I'm so afraid I need to toss my phone and when I think about the $$$ .. well you know what I mean.
I've tried looking through these forums and guides but I just don't understand most of it and I can't get it figured out it's driving me insane.
Just chill, there is nothing wrong with your phone. You cannot kill your phone doing the things you did.
Just flash a stock firmware true Odin and everything will be working again. Pick a 4.4.2 rom though.
The reason why you are messing up is because you tried to use a year old rooting method.
So the steps you want to take:
- Flash a stock firmware
- Flash cf-auto root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803
- Flash TWRP
- Flash this script in TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/scriptknoxout-complete-brutal-knox-t2807172
done.
Hi all, i'm new to Android Phones, so i started a few days with this phone. But now i think i've done a big mistake, i tried to erase everything from the phone, in a hope to "restore" to the factory state. Instead, i think i've deleted everything from the phone, and now, it only says "Your device is booting now..." and it doesn't boot. It's unlocked and rooted, i've deleted it from the TWRP menu.
So, is there anything that i can do, to restore it back? The model i think it's the VNS-L31, i'm downloading a firmware from the L21, can it be replaced or something like that? Thankx in advance.
*Edit* I found stock rom for my phone here in the fórum, but it says i need to have stock recovery but i have the TWRP recovery. Is there any way that i can do it, with that recovery?
*Edit 2* In Erecovery, when i try to download it says "Getting package info failed"
First of all... Why don't you have a backup in TWRP? ALWAYS back up your stuff before doing ANYTHING in TWRP.
Second: there is an option for factory reset within the EMUI system itself. Absolutely no need to mess around in TWRP for something like that. Of course you can "factory reset" in TWRP but this can also wipe your system which then requires you to flash something.
To your problem:
Since I luckily was not forced to flash a stock firmware yet, some more information would be nice.
In which format does the firmware come (link to where you downloaded it)? TWRP can handle .zip files. So if it comes as a .zip file, you can try flashing it through TWRP (really depends on what you downloaded!)
If you only need stock recovery, try accessing TWRP with your phone plugged into a PC.
This way it normally fires up the stock eRecovery.
Hi, yeah, i should have done a backup, thank you for the advice. The firmware i used is this one www .stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-marshmallow-firmware-b100/ - i found it here, and a user used it to, not sure why, but he says that it worked.
I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, because i'm new to this. The TWRP boot, but i can't get my phone to get recognized by the huawei software, not sure if it need to. Even with the drivers installed, it only connects if the phone is on the menu.

Hmm maybe best way is to send the user that made it work a PM and maybe he can provide you a guide on how to do it.
And maybe he or you can then provide a guide here on how to do it.
This device is rather new and the forum is building up so there is a lot of work to do and a lot of things have to be worked around.
Hope you can fix it, like I said, I cannot really help you properly since I never had the problem and therefore do not really understand what's happening on your device.
hi, thank you for the reply. In fact i have solved the problem few minutes ago, and was thinking on do a quick fix tutorial or something like that. Because it's really fast, just need to do the right way.
I'm really happy for the help i got in this forum, all the threads are really intersting. Going to try help others with the same problem that i had. Thank You

Always have a backup of your fresh system on TWRP. Then whatever happen just restore it whenever you think you messed up your device and you should be fine ALWAYS.
Hi there.
So I'm using N6P for a year now and updated to 7.1.2 is I'm not mistaken . My N6P is fully stock with locked bootloader , no tweaking etc.
Was casually browsing through my phone suddenly it restarted and into went into a bootloop. I can only access the bootloader. I have tried going into recovery mode which just starts the loop over again.
I have researched just about everything and tried a lot . I just cant seem to get it working .
I really want my personal data on it , its quite important . If there isn't any more choice, then I will be forced to wipe it but until then any suggestions? Please help , thanks .
By the way , my warranty just expired a week ago so luck is surely not on my side .

Sorry to hear about that. I had the same problem with my modded 6p and had a full backup on my pc and was still under warranty so it worked out fine for me. Unfortunately for you you are most likely not going to be able to fix it even from wiping it. I had the same problem and because I had an unlocked bootloader I was able to do much more than you could with flashing stock images. If you can't enter recovery then you most likely have a brick and can't fix it. I'm not sure if there is a way via adb and fastboot commands with a locked bootloader to retrieve data but I'll let you know ow if I find one. What kind of data do you have? Google usually syncs things like your photos and apps downloaded will be saved in the google play store. I hope this helped?

Yeah I've tried countless things but it all comes down to me not being able to access recovery. Please do let me know if you do find one thanks . I have some very important docs as well as images in it that I need it badly . I disabled that sync feature as it took very long (for me) to back up all the media. Guess it was a big mistake ....

Bootloop here too
Just tried to upgrade 7.1.1 (unlocked usb debugging enabled) to 7.1.2 using Skipsoft Toolkit. Upon reboot, it just keeps going thru the graphic animation. When I connect it it says 7.1.1 detected.
I am going to try again to upgrade it. Seems like it's working. problem is it says detected system is 6.0.1 now.
Hey, it also says it takes a while for the first boot, so I may have gotten all 21st century and impatient on it.
I also tried a factory reset after freaking out that I had laid a brick...
At least with the skipsoft toolkit I was able to communicate with it!
Here's hoping!
---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------
Well, although I can get to twrp, I am unable to do anything else. I can't find any clues that are up to date and it's a bummer
Didn't need to be a TWRP expert; just booted into recovery mode, selected the latest factory stock image and flashed it. back to a working nexus 6p and all i gotta do is re-root it, edit the build.prop to enable wifi hotspot (I'm on ATT) and all is groovy. Muchos props to mark and skipsoft toolkit!
Yesterday I also got a bootloop. My smartphone hovered and went into reboot. So it did not boot. It reboots. In the recovery he does not go.
Same here but with stock recovery
I am in the same exact situation. No root, everything stock and warranty expired a week ago. Coincidence..?
I have been able to enter the stock Recovery Mode, but from there I can't execute adb commands, only list devices and sideload..
is there anything else i could do from Recovery Mode ?
Thanks

Yes. If you haven't wiped/factory reset yet, you can load a newer OTA image from Recovery. Same or older OTA will not work. Set the device to update from ADB and then send it from PC. If you have wiped the phone, obviously the OTA won't work. This will work with a locked bootloader and no usb debugging enabled.

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.

I finally installed BOOT properly, but the problem is that I have inside the phone OREO SYSTEM and I can not find BOOT in the updates I am downloading, as I said, once BOOT was installed, it did not work because it came form nougat.
Phone is very dead.

This may be a stupid question..
If i understood correctly, you can install Boot from nougat, right?
If so why dont you flash nougat rom again?

I have tried nougat and oreo, but nothing happens, after I install them the phone starts and suddendly it stays as the picture attached.
I tell you something: I used emui erecovery to get everything back but now it does not work anymore, my phone is dead

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

I think your EMMC memory might be fried

Idk I never tried it, but it costs and it's not guaranteed it will work but it's worth a try

If I understood correctly it will flash any file no matter what so technically it should work

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
