Any solution for brick ph-1 locked bootloader ? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hi,
It been a year since i put my ph-1 into the drawer .
I have tried to communicate with the main company but the say they can't help since i buy this phone from eBay without box or bill .
I have updated the phone then while it updating it fail and won't startup again unfortunately !
I'm stuck with fastboot menu with locked state .
It been year+ now .. no solution ? Should i scrap it or keep it in my drawer ?
The phone still in mint condition without any scratches .
Hopefully i can get help since i seen this issues started on 2018 ...

Did you try downloading the official build and flash all command?

Run this command
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Then
fastboot flashing unlock
If this doesn't work I experienced mine failing, but I borrowed my brother's computer which is like super old, and it workes on his, seems to be a compatibility issue so find the oldest pc u have and try, u could also try on of those bad USB hubs, bc on my main pc it just freezes, idk if this will work but worth a shot.
And also download the latest Ph-1 USB drivers from their website
Also if u select new builds on this website scroll all the way down and u'll have instructions

Wait u didn't turn oem unlocking on? In the Dev settings
Well u use those commands to unlock the bootloader anyhow u have to do it bc oem unlocking just allows u to run those commands, but if u didn't turn oem unlocking on, then I don't have a clue, and it was windows 10

Is there a way to unlock hardware buttons?

I know many of us had problem with the new hardware locked vibrants and we ended up with bricked phones. Well at-least i did. I was just wondering since i am getting a new one i dont want to make the same mistake again. Is there a way to enable the buttons again?
No.
But I have a hardware locked phone but /adb reboot download/ and
/adb reboot recovery/ work for me.
i think tmobile will give you a new phone if you cant get into recovery cause if your phone messes up and you call customer service they tell you to go to recovery and if you cant its considered software malfunction or something idk but check it out this is what ive heard on the forum.

well check if you can get to recovery and dl mode before attempting anything and if you can call and say you cant get into recovery and they will send another and you can tell them to test it and make sure you can get into recovery and they will or should

help fingerprint sensor

So I installed the revolution mod ( nougat ) and my fingerprint sensor was not working so I installed the stock firmware and because there were no fingerprints saved on stock , I factory reseted the phone , then I installed the revolution rom again and it was working for few days but now it stopped working again ( sometimes it does not recognize it and sometimes it doesnt even vibrate Like i would not even have my finger on it )
To me that sounds like an hardware issue and therefore needs to be sent in for repair.
I don't think it's an hardware issue.. the ROM has some problem with some people, I suggest you to try stock ROM for a few days to verify if the problem is related to your device or the ROM.

To me it sounded he installed stock and it did not work there either.
Ofc if it works in stock it should be related to the custom ROM.

He restored stock only to see if there where some fingerprint registered and then he installed revolution ROM again if I am not wrong

Did you flash OEMinfo first?
Or did you use the new rollback methods?

Well if you are on a Nougat build, you cannot just flash a MM update.app
You either need to flash an OEMinfo file first (old method) or use the official Huawei rollback method (new method).
If you did none of that, that might be the reason why your phone does not boot.

Well that is a problem.
You need to get that code it is your only option.
This can be done with the DC Unlocker but it will cost you a few bucks and you need to find a guide in here or somewhere else. Or you just figure it out yourself. I have never used it.
You can also try to get the code again by using the Huawei site but you need your IMEI and some other stuff. I guess some of it can be found on the packaging that your device came with...

I mean you might try to find a way to get the needed information with adb but I do not know how. Maybe a Google search can provide more info.
There are also several threads in here where people tried to recover the bootloader code from a bricked device.
Just make sure to SAVE it somewhere safe once you retrieve it

Yeah that is the big problem...
Normally you get it over the phone dialer but since you are in bootloop...
I don't know...
There are programs out there that generate the product ID but I have no clue if they work for this device.
Use the huawei site where you get the unlock code and you will find that the id is found by typing a code on the phone dialer.... there you will find what to type on the phone.

Screwed Up

I tried updating to Nougat and my phone is now bricked. None of the key combinations work on boot except for FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE, and the phone won't power off, at all, just hangs on the logo when restarting. I flashed this ROM here thinking everything would be OK since it claims to be compataible with my phone but I might have flashed the data zip by mistake. I tried downgrading as seen here but that only made matters worse. Probably should mention that my phone is fully locked too.
Thoughts???

Tried that, multiple times, this is all I can access. Can I fix this in any way that won't void my warranty?

If I can flash stock ROM with FRP locked, how do I do that? I tried to with SRK Tool but it didn't detect my phone, and I have ADB driver installed along with HiSuite.
A little update: I decided to claim on the warranty and get it fixed. Hopefully not unlocking, rooting anything and trying to flash official firmware Huawei wont charge me, but I'm not holding my breath. So I will take this as a lesson learned that the P9 Lite is not a developer friendly phone; well, at least my version anyway.
Thanks for all the help.
How to flash stock ? Flash it via fastboot using cmd on windows . Open dload file ( update.app ) , unpack it with app which u can find on this forum and flash all img files via fastboot . I am not sure if it's gonna work on locked bootloader and frp lock but u Can try

No **** there are guides on the forums, but it never hurts to ask about the right ones.

I tried that way but I want to get rid warning message appears every time when I turn on my phone.
No known way to do that here that I've seen - would probably require tools that only Huawei repair depots have.

hold power plus volume down with the phone hooked to the PC to enter the bootloader
from the bootloader you can use fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
from twrp you can flash a stock rom
you can't remove the unlocked bootloader message

G935f/fd FRP Locked

Hey guys.
So a friend of mine got the phone samsung galaxy s7 edge SM-G935F/FD.. from his brother. and my friend hard reset it since he was going to use it as his personal phone.
but then it started. after reset he tried to setup his phone but asked him enter the email address which was previously used on this phone. so he asked his brother.. but his brother doesnt seem to remember which email or passowrd he used.. his brother tried to do the find my account thing but he couldnt get his account back..
so my friend brought it to me. and i looked up and did lots of flashing and followed every guide i could find. but nothing worked.
Phone info
Model: SM-G935 not sure if its f or fd since on recovery it says f.. but this phone was bought in india.. and while downloading stock firmware it showed up as fd for india..
doesnt have adb enabled.
usb debugging and developer options were assumed to be off before reset since when i asked his brother he didnt know what developer option means.
Edit: Accidently posted before entering more info
Android version: he said it was 6.0.1 when he got it.. but he said he updated but hes not sure.. i flashed 7 and now currently its on 6.0.1
Things that i tried.
Rootjunky: literally all the method there is.. nothing worked.
flashed adb enabled files but it didnt work out.. whwn running adb command it shows as device not found.
flashed stock firmware didnt help
tried to install twrp or cf root but binary locked.
searched xda for guides on frp.. but nothing worked..
tried the OTG cable method didnt work
i dd get a combination file from somewhere it flashed fine but it didnt seem to do anything.. same as adb error
dont have a bluetooth headset so couldnt try that method.
there was one method.. calling from realterm and adding it to contacts. which i was able to do earlier.. but when i found out abt the method to send messge to that number as google and opening that link etc i am not able to do that now.. since i flashed lots of roms over not sure which rom had that save contact thing.i did try to flash all the roms i had but a few showed sw ver error .. so couldnt flash the bl file.
also i need to try out z3x method.. which im doing right now.. hope it works.. but from how its going on dont think it will lol.
so hope someone here could guide as to what i should do to fix this..
i seriously spent over a day on this.. flashing over and over.. in that process i tjink.i flashed my mind as well lol
anyway hope you guys can help me
Thanks ^_^
Why not just ask the brother to unlock it.

Thanks for the reply.. ^^
WE did actually. but he doesnt seem to remember.. he tried to recover his account but he was not able to.. my friend did this before he came to me.
Confirmed the phone Model.. it is SM-G935FD..
it was written on the back of the phone lol.. *face palm*
also to note.. i cant downgrade bootloader eventhough its a unlocked phone.. so bootloader is stuck with 7
i solved it.. i think.. i will make sure and post back how i did.. ^_^
Yep tested it.. all good and working well.. even reflashed stock rom.. and its working as its supposed too...
as for how i fixed it.. well im nto sure if i am supposed to post it here...because it could be used for illegal purposes.. so if some admin approves of it.. then i will post here what i did.
