Zuk Z1 Soft Brick

Dear XDA friends,
i always hoped not to be one of those guys, who f****d up their phones to the point of no return. I really screwed up this time. Well, here I'am writing you about my screw up.
I unlocked, rooted, flashed and repaired all kinds of android phones in the past years, never without problems, but I could always fix it somehow. Not so much this time.
Now I'm stuck at Bootscreen with the Zuk logo. I even have problems pinging the phone via ADB.
Sorry for my noobish question guys. Any help would be much appreciated.

I got this translated from a chinese website:
For fastboot mode:
The phone turned off; keep the connection turned off the data cable to the computer, press: [volume down key] [Power Key] waiting to enter the fastboot mode.
For recovery:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Power key
When vibrates Volume UP key + Volume Down key about 10 seconds
Release all key when Android logo appear then you will see Android System Recovery
Use Volume key to select Menu
Use Power key to Confirm
Can you enter any of these 2 modes?

The bootloop is just showing the ''ZUK logo'' in the middle of screen and "'powered by Android logo'' below,and the phone vibrates everytime it flashes these logos. I tried QFIL but it can only detects the unit on the first boot or first flash that is 2 secs. only from the time i press the power button, and then it disconnects and not detect the unit again. Does anyone know where can i find the scatter file , MTK ROM for zuk z1, i would like to try the SP flasher tool. Or if anyone have any idea how to solve this issue on lenovo zuk z1,pls. help.tnx

Can y get to fastboot ?

im facing the same problem after i had the stupid idea to lock the bootloader again, before that i flashed the phone successfully with the cm mod recovery and cm 13.
Has anyone found a solution to this ? or do i have to send it back ?
What i did exactly :
I locked the bootloader again and just to test it i tried flashing the recovery again , ofcourse it didn't work which was what i wanted.
Afterwards i rebootet the bootloader with sudo fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
now im stuck in a bootloop that i cant even stop , in other words i cant turn my phone off nor can i access the recovery or fastboot
Im feeling so stupid that i locked it again .... i will try to get into recovery after my phone ran out of battery but so far it looks quite bad...does anyone know if i will get a replacement even though it was my fault ? ( i don't need to say that it was my fault ..and the bootloader is now locked again )
UPDATE::
I found a promising thread about this problem, i will report back here if i was successful.

Please help , same problem
I am facing same issue too from 2 days. I didnt even try to flash custom roms or play with boot loader or recovery or anything. All of a sudden my phone entered boot loop. After two three bootloops phone is entering "12 apps optimized of 230 apps" mode, completing optimizing all apps and then failing to start apps, entering boot loop again.
Effort made so far to fix -
1) Went to recovery and cleared cache - didnt work
2) Went to recovery and did factory reset - factory reset did happen but boot loop didnt stop, I realized that factory reset happened because now its saying optimizing 120 apps instead of my 230 apps during the bootloop.
3) Went to recovery, Entered fast boot mode but not able to connect to PC. Fastboot devices is not showing anything. I made sure proper driver is installed after researching on XDA.
4) Went to recovery, Tried "Install update". Didnt install anything but browsed through folder structure and realized my data is intact
It will be great if someone can help me atleast recover my data before I handover phone to service center for fixing boot loop issue.

Same problem

Sorry For Re-posting Here. This is Solution
Why this is happening ?
Due to Dirty Flash from Zui or from COS/CMOD but suddenly Bootloader gets locked
May be Due to Some Custom Rom which only works with Old Bootloader ( And you are on latest 2.5 Zui QPST Flash)
Reasons are many. I also did same mistake. I flashed ZUI 2.5 using QPST then unlock bootloader using official site installed twrp after wiping cache system and data , Installed Lineage 0S JAN Build then without rebooting installed Lineage Nightly build (Latest) with Gapps After rebooting Phone goes into Restart endless loop on ZUK Logo. Blink and Vibrate .. After 1hr I figured it out but its 5am So slept.
HOW TO FIX ENDLESS REBOOT ON ZUK Logo ?
-> Identity vibrate patterns (Press Power Key I count 6- 7 Vibration pattern ) After long Vibrate immediately remove finger from power key.
->Once its Done (Phone completely off)
Download QPST and Official COS QPST from this Link https://goo.gl/InWQji OR https://goo.gl/iqrnlI (I am personally Very Thankful to D tech Terminal for posting Wonderful video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dl6JkAVpuM
<- please install all drivers and software.->) @ankurpandeyvns Thanks bro.
Main Task is here and Lots of Patience is required and You also need to be very Blazing fast to achieve this.
-Once you download and install Qpst open Qfil
-Now press Volume Up only and connect USB (Just press POWER KEY only for 1 sec It will vibrate and connect)
-Without waiting hit Download button.
-Voila It will start flashing your phone again and Hence Your phone is now Revive..
-Once Revive You can use it to again flash custom Rom or stick to stock Rom if you want.
Keep Flashing !!!
Patience is Key here. And Don't lose hope.
:good:
EDITED:
While connecting to pc and by pressing Volume key you also need to press Power key for 1 sec or 2 sec until it gets detected. Thanks addicted777 (for tip)

I have a non rooted stock nexus 6P android 7.0 with standard bootloader. Something is kepping the phone alive so I wanted to start up in recovery and clear system cache. But when I try to open recovey I get the android logo laying down with the text under it no command. For the rest it won't do anything for 2 minutes and then it just start up normal. But no recovery....

I have no bootloop, because it start up well. I just can"t reach the recovery menu to clear system cache. I might look into how you do a clean install of 7.0. I just have the phone for a week. And it was doing well. But sunce today something prevents the system to go into sleep mode.

I did some other research. To get into recovery I needed OEM Unlock turned on or have USB debugging enabled in developer options. I can go into recovery now. Cleared system cache. Hopefully my wake lock disappears. Don't want to root the phone. Because I want to keep warranty. My note 4 broke down with knoxx tripped and didn't got warranty when my motherboard broke down

When you get the No Command screen, press the power button immediately press the volume down button. It's tricky, but that will put you into the standard recovery.

Note 5 Volume Keys wont work after Android 7.0 update now stuck in safe mode

About 2 weeks ago after updates were installed for Android 7 my volume up and down keys stopped working. I down loaded a 3rd party app...problem solved. Well no...Tuesday my phone decided to go to Factory Hard Reset screen and since I cant used the volume key all I can do is #2 Factory reset over and over. I would like to go back to 6.0.1 or some other version to see if that will fix the problems but I cant get the phone in download mode because the volume keys dont work....Please help. It is a Verizon SM-N920V

While the phone is on and developer options enabled and also OEM unlock enabled, connect the phone to a P.C. Make sure you have minimal adb and fastboot installed on your P.C. also and while you're in the adb folder open a command prompt window and type
adb reboot download
The phone will then boot into download mode..

but OP will have another issue to face
as when we use odin to flash back to stock, we will always HAVE to press power up + home + power key to go to stock recovery to wipe again or else will forever stuck in boot animation
assuming if OP's phone is really a hardware issue, booting to download mode will be successful but after flashing stock, thats the problem OP has to face (if its a hardware issue)

I really dont think its a hardware issue. nothing happened to the phone and the buttons are springy and not stuck they just dont adjust the volume. Thats why I hope going back to 6.0.1 will fix it.

The phone will update itself automatically as long as there's a cache.img being flashed and it's usually in the firmware.. Just need to make sure odin is set to automatically reboot after flash.

Everything seemed to work good BUT.....

Finally went to next screen. Back to factory reset...no volume buttons.....restarted again still in safe mode

Then it's unfortunately a hardware issue and if the phone is less than 1 year old Samsung would be willing to fix it free of charge so long as you didn't cause the damage..
Also trying pressing the buttons like a bit forceful and quickly that way if it is stuck under the actual button then it will maybe loosen up..

I was afraid you were gonna say that....I'm just out of warranty. Thanks

I have a nokia 6 1025 (ex-AmazonPrime) flashed via OST with june firmware, and update via sd card recovery with ota updates until december. Then I flashed Oreo Beta in january.
All worked fine.
Now i want to update to Oreo final. The zip is in the SD card, but when i try to put in recovery mode there is only the "no command" message.
I tried to get into recovery with both methods, with volumeup+power keys, and with "adb reboot recovery". Always the same "no command" message
The suggested solution, pressing volumeup and power together does not work.

No Command screen, what from there?
My Nokia 6 suddenly stopped recognizing my security pattern the other day. I have tried to do the Hard Reset (+ and Power and "home" buttons), and finally managed to get to a screen that read "No Command" and had a little green guy lying on his back. What am I supposed to do from there? I apologize for asking such a basic question, but I am completely lost. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

When you at "no command" screen press Volume UP & Power simultaneously, then release Power button to get into recovery menu.

Thank you - how long after you release the Power button do you continue to hold the + button? Nothing happened for the longest time, and then the phone just rebooted (back to the Pattern screen, where it says I'm doing it wrong). I will get it back to "No Command" and try again. I really appreciate your help. (I've tried three times now, same thing happens each time.)

Step 1. Plug in a usb charger to the phone, then quickly press vol+ and power button to get into the "No command screen"
Step 2. Again, press the vol+ and power button AND press the HOME button, then you will see the Recovery menu .

I have a Samsung galaxy s5, phone keeps rebooting into recovery mode tried wiping cache partition, factory reset all failing to work. now want to install custom firmware but the reboot to bootloader function wont work it quickly flashes a no command screen then goes back to Android recovery screen. How can I get past this?

Flash it thru Odin, whichever is supported right now, then unlock the bootloader for custom roms. If you dont know the process of unlocking bootloader then ask me when you finish installing official firmware via odin

$25 Paypal TO *YOU* for fixing VKY-L29 boot issues / possibly brick

Hey guys,
A friend of mine handed me a phone I used a few years ago - a Huawei P10+. The problem is, it won't boot. A friend offered a small bounty - so I thought I'd extend that small bounty to people here for immediate assistance. If you take Paypal, there $25 USD up for grabs if your links/instructions and assistance lead to unbricking - correct booting of the phone....
WHAT WE KNOW:
- VKY-L29 dual sim phone
- Previously been successfully rooted and was functioning fine
- Previous User may have tried wiping EVERYTHING (unsuccessfully, obviously) for re-installation of stock ROM
THE PROBLEM:
The phone displays the white/orange text screen, stating "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. To learn more visit: http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore
(1) Press power to continue .... nothing happens when pressed
(2) Press volume up for 3 secs to enter ERecovery to restore your device ... this works, but CANNOT download, or fails to download package over WIFI (only other options are to shutdown/reboot)
(3) Your device will continue to boot 5 seconds later if no operation ... nothing happens, it just hangs on this screen - even when prompt shows "Your device is rebooting now"
It doesn't matter if this stays rooted or not, we just need to successfully reinstall the STOCK ROM and booting/functioning normally.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Regards

(3) Your device will continue to boot 5 seconds later if no operation ... nothing happens, it just hangs on this screen - even when prompt shows "Your device is rebooting now"
It doesn't matter if this stays rooted or not, we just need to successfully reinstall the STOCK ROM and booting/functioning normally.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Boot in eRecovery by holding the Volume Up button, after booting in eRecovery just download the latest package via connecting to a Wi-Fi network and it should boot up just fine.

Try downloading an older firmware extract the contents of the .app file using huawei firmware extractor and flash system.img recovery_ramdisk.img oeminfo.img product.img and vendor.img using fastboot and if the phone boots up just update it to a newer firmware, that's how i did it to my P10 Plus, it didn't wanna download via eRecovery too, sorry for the misunderstanding i forgot that it doesn't wanna download for you, i don't have the device with me now because i broke my display (again) so it's getting fixed but it won't be done untill saturday, i'll upload the firmware i used so that you can try too.

if the bootloader is unlocked flash twrp using the command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "path to TWRP.img"
after flashing type: fastboot reboot and immediately start pressing the Volume Up and power button untill the HUAWEI logo shows up, after booting to TWRP flash oeminfo.img using the install option in TWRP, after that reboot and try downloading the firmware using eRecovery again, hopefully this time it will let you download it.

Dude pls wait don't try this i found another way, i bricked my phone accidentally today and i found a way, gonna take me some time to explain but i'll try my best.

So first of all download this firmware here extract it on your pc and boot to bootloader and flash TWRP_kirin.img to recovery_ramdisk, after that reboot the phone and boot in recovery via holding the volume up and power button, when in TWRP copy the dload folder from the firmware you extracted on your pc to your phone after that copy the RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img to your phone and flash it as recovery ramdisk via the install option in TWRP, power off your phone and press and hold the volume buttons and the power button and wait for it to boot and let it install the update, i really hope this helps you, it helped me after struggling with it all day long.

Hi Lester, it's been an eternity since I was online here as I put this on the back-burner with more pressing work and family priorities. Thank you very much for providing the files. I noticed the ROM firmware is EU, when i am outside of EU....but shouldn't be too big of a problem.... I am getting around to doing all of this now, I have downloaded the files. When are you typically online to chat about this?

It cannot boot into TWRP, only the eRecovery. No option to flash anything on SD card, other than connecting to WIFI...
