I flashed the Sprint firmware and had data working on my XT1766 after it got it's carrier update, the Sprint firmware does not soft brick the phone as I flashed it and can confirm it doesn't soft brick it, so you are incorrect in saying that.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong but after trying this, my phone kept saying, "phone stopped working". I had backed up my phone so I restored it. Any ideas on what might have happened?

Oh, I never tried this method. I used rsd lite to flash the firmware (the one op says will brick you, it didn't by the way). After flashing new firmware I restored only data, nothing system or boot related, and have had no issues.

I used rsdlite from here
The newest one, 6.2.4 I think
Apn Xt1766
I just want to add apn and want to use hot spot again
As the phone is updated on latest build ..
I don't want the root access..

The steps are there. Just don't use the root part if you don't want root. Once you switch the files, flash the service file.xml with rsdlite.

That's normal if you unlock the bootloader. Flash the no verity opt encrypt, or magisk, and it will change from bad key to n/a. But there will always be a message if you unlock the bootloader.
I know you said you don't need root, so that bad key message is there to stay.

N/A will be there. But you can flash a new boot logo to kinda hide it. Instead of a black screen, any logo you want, maybe with a white strip at the top to hide it. I'll get you a link.

Just don't accept the update. You can root by flashing magisk. You will still receive update notification. You'll need to disable the moto update app. I forget which one exactly. But your phone shouldn't be able to do ota updates once you are rooted with twrp installed. The update will fail.
here is the root thread.

Thank you. I wish I had known this. I had to flash the stock recovery, etc for the updates to work. A little bit of an unnecessary hastle.

Ota updates will likely always fail if you have twrp, or have modified the system in any way. The ota performs many checks (assert props) to see if the system is clean. If any asserts fail, the ota will fail. Even restoring the stock recovery doesn't guarantee the ota will work.
Hi,
My phone is stuck at boot

They did something different for dload on this phone.
It needs special firmware to dload
We found that service firmware for l21c432 will get the phone working again, then use hwota to restore correct region firmware

Service rom is different then fullOTA.
From the screenshot you have . The fullota-mf-pv examples are Oreo and the ones without the pv are nougat.
This separation is not allways Oreo/ nougat, but only in your example.
HWOTA is a method to force install fullOTA files that uses a modified stock recovery that bypasses version verifications.
Here is link.--( there is other hwota too. One that has more batch file script and incorporate bootloader unlock and device rebranding. )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649
And service rom was found on rusian site 4pda.
The file download there has reached a download limit and forces you to sign up for a Yandex account. I copied the service rom to Android file host.
Service rom BND-L21C432
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.

thank you! I will try this.
@mrmazak Thank you very much! L21 firmware worked and I am running it without any issue.
What difference does it make as now I am using BND-L21 firmware instead of BND-AL10?
Acc. to me this Rom is better as there are very few bloatware installed as compared to AL10 and everything seems to work fine.
In About Phone only things changed are-
Build number
Baseband Version
Model and imei are same as before.
Does i really need to install AL-10 firmware again?

As long as the phone is working normally, I think you should be fine . But further updates will , of course, need to be manually done . Like this install was.

Never saw that before, unless your phone in C00 or C01 (China region)
Try factory reset?
Then skip wifi and Google account, but set a lock screen pin or pattern. See if that helps.
Then share screenshot of "about phone". Block out imei number though.
Also which service ROM did you use. How did you use it. Did you change method from as described, did it flash both parts? The update and hw_update?

Actually, my phone is a BND-L34 (Mate SE)
Performed a factory reset 3 times. Third time I set up a pattern but the option still hasn't appeared.
I used the ROM in the link you provided in your previous post (had no idea there were any others, as I haven't been able to find anything else).
Didn't change anything. Extracted the dload folder to my external SD card, powered on while holding all three buttons and the update itself went just fine. Also I'm not sure how to tell whether or not it flashed both parts.
Everything else SEEMS to be working. Haven't poked around or anything, nor have I tried my SIM card. However the only issue I'm coming across (that I actually care about at the moment) is the inability to enable OEM unlocking (not grayed out or anything. It's just completely missing).

Then after the reset and boot up , back to fastboot to flash TWRP.

Sounds good.
So now let me ask what was the issue you had to recover from. And I assume you had the unlock code already?
I ask because yesterday I was helping someone , also with mate se. They are trying to get uock code from DC unlock, but need to downgrade first. I had guided a downgrade this way before to get unlock codes , and it went just fine. But when you had the unknown model number, it makes me wonder what caused it, and of it could be avoided for the guy I'm helping now.

As much as I would love to help, I really don't know what caused the unknown model number.
The reason I needed to restore my phone was because I had originally gotten the Oreo update through firmware finder because I never officially got the OTA (even though my IMEI was approved according to FF). The update seemed to have worked alright but one day my camera suddenly stopped functioning completely. Reboot didn't fix it. So I decided to factory reset it but that only ended in a bootloop.
I could have used TWRP to fix it but for some reason it would not boot into TWRP, so I opted for triggering an OTA installation through stock recovery but that didn't work (this was before I knew of the service ROM). So then I tried reflashing TWRP but I couldn't because I forgot to enable USB debugging. I knew I was done for at that point. And stupid me added to the problem by relocking the bootloader (I don't remember why I decided to do that).
So I hadn't touched the thing in months up until today to see if there was any new methods for restoring a bricked device. That's when I found some threads pointing towards a service ROM. And here I am.
Sorry that I couldn't provide any specific details. Some things I just forgot and some things I don't even know the cause of (like the camera malfunctioning and the bootloop after factory resetting).
I got a Huawei mate se and didn't realize that allowing it to update to Android o would block the bootloader unlock tool. Is there anyway to downgrade my firmware so I can unlock my bootloader?

There is a roll-back ROM on firmware finder. As long as it shows your IMEI as approoved, it should install.
That's the nice clean way.
There is a dirty ( possibly dangerous way ) by using the nougat service ROM. That ROM is for bnd-L21, so not sure how an unlocked bootloader will handle it. It has worked on unlocked before.

You should be able to use it to flash b330. Which should work in DC

My bad I am on 8.0 to be specific bnd-l34 8.0.0.341(c567) and as much as I've tried I can not get it to work on the phone following along on the videos. They are using the app on emui 5.0 not 8.0. It doesn't work anymore on 8.0
All there videos revolve around emui 5.0 or lower. It stopped working with 8.0

Because the locked bootloader, you can only use the firmwares that are approoved.
Chances are , the only one that's approoved is the b330
And if not , then only option is the service-rom. Followed by dc-unlock, then the hwota and correct ROM
It has been done.
There should be confirmation back in the mate thread somewhere.

This post you made here sounds doable.
This service rom so far has been only thing we found that will load with three button method (dload)
But it is not a full rom to keep on device. It needs you to follow up with flashing fullOTA of your correct version after.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...83647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.
Enlighten me what is huru or hwota? If I were to flash this does it boot up into android or is it non functional?

Yes, this should leave you able to boot. And with build level that should allow DC unlocked to give you the code.
Remember like I said before this is kind of a dirty way around and 'could' have issues unknown. Like what if DC does not give you a code, you would then be stuck . (Though you are stuck now)
Huru and hwota are very similar. They both use TWRP to give custom flashing control.
Hwota uses modified stock recovery to flash full ota files.
Huru repacks full ota files so that TWRP can flash them.
Since doth start with TWRP , bootloader unlock is needed.

Just spent most of the morning going back and forth with someone else with mate see, and they just did restored his device with the service ROM.
I do not now what he was restoring from, but he ended up with "unknown model" and default build number of 8.0.0.46
This is because of (probably) some data corrupt issue making the flash go bad. But he was able to run the ROM and unlock boooader.
Difference is he already had his unlock code.

Have you seen this guide?
It is for "official" hisuite roll-back
I have not rolled back so do not know it it works though.(I checked with my device, it shows no downgrade available)
I know the roll-back firmwarm listed on firmware finder was listed as "bond" and not "bnd". So this means not available "officially"

Well let me explain this question, i bought this device in aliexpress cause i live in mexico, so, my device version is the chinese (this for the network compatibility).
when the new software version roll out i downloaded in the realme web i tried to install it. But i was not able to, so i unlocked the bootloader to try some custom roms, i install the recovery TWRP , and then i downloaded the pixwel experience, before installing i checked and the realme ui update was released, so i tried to install it, but i couldn't cause i had the bootloader unlocked and the custom recovery.
Next thing i did was install the stock recovery, and then i locked again the bootloader, but now the cellphone dont start, it only shows the screen of "The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it" .
The problem here is, the recovery dont start and the fastboot its locked and i can't bypass that.
I'm looking for a solution, but i want to know if anyone have solve this before or have any idea to do it. Thanks guys!
well it happened to me same the only way is to take it to realme service center or finde some one who have the oppo realme server to flash it like i did ifound a guy who have an official server the flash my device am from algeria
Update

i´ve been "searching" (not too much to be honest) a way to flash my device, or even easier, to unlock the bootloader, once that is done, i will be able to do the next thing.
There are ways to "force" flashing modifying the hardware (i really don't want to that), other places suggest flashing a vbmeta.img, but i get back to the same, i need the bootloader
im actualy downloading UFI android tool, any update i will post it

I think EDL mode flashing stock ROM is a good way, but is there compatible download tool or image? I have ever used Miflash to downgrade my bootloader locked Xiaomi 4c for unlocking bootloader in EDL mode (maybe "fasboot oem edl" ,"fastboot reboot-edl", or "fastboot reboot edl" command).
Unlocking the Mi4c Bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779

did u get the solution bro
Not yet, i have some steps to do it, but now im facing the last step, the file don´t get recognized by the tool, this tool ask for a scatter file, and the one with QFIL, i need a xml firehose fle, and i havent found it
did u get the solution bro[/QUOTE]
What i got is this:
Emergency download: press vol + and vol - then connect it to the pc, the pc will recognize it as port 9008 com in the device manager of your pc, if yor phone reboots u have to disconnect the battery cause the battery forces the reboot of the EDL mode, maybe if you put the phone on EDL mode an then quickly flash would work with out tearing appart the device
Files: you need to install qualcomm drivers (https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/), download the .ofp file of your device (i get if from here https://oppostockrom.com/oppo-realme-x-rmx1901 ), then you need to download the tool you will use
here is where things are gonna get a bit harder
MSMDownload: this is the official tool, it came withe ofp file from the link i put before, the proble is you need a user and password, i haven't found where to get one official, its from oppo workers i guess
There is a cracked version, but don't recognizes the file
QFIL: its for qualcom devices (found it here https://androidmtk.com/download-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil), this will let you flash every qualcomm device (or thats what they tell you), it shows the port, but ask for a xml file and a programer path (thing that i haven't found it yet)
Cracked MSMDownload: i found this https://www.techoxygen.com/msm-download-tool/ , https://romprovider.com/2020/02/flash-qualcomm-devices-using-msm-download-tools/, or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CKsEOfGGaQ
now, in my case the file its not recognized, it says incorrect scatter file, from here you can start diggin around, if you solve this please let me know

It has build RMX2170_11_F.23.

Sometimes formatting data/factory resetting can fix the issue.
Or if you want to flash a new firmware, then, download a firmware, that comes in .ozip format, transfer it to your SD card, and flash it through it.
If you have some luck, also you can try, updating via Wi-Fi.
Thank you for the answer ... I have already tried to format several times by restoring the factory settings but the problem remained
Having installed the latest version and my recovery doesn't recognize my upload via local .ozip (see picture)
I think the ota didn't go perfectly...
Do you recommend installing the PU version? But then I can put the 11_F23?

Is It your bootloader unlocked?
If your device has Qualcomm there is a tool here in XDA, to flash the . ofp file (fastboot is available through other method, If your device has a MediaTek, SoC, also there are other tools to flash it.
About that specific firmware you're asking, if it is an update, you may flash it.
What is the issue with the file update not recognized?

My bootloader is locked and the device has qualcomm snapdragon.
The firmware is the latest UI3.0 installed via ota 3 days ago.
I installed deep testing to unlock the bootloader but it doesn't work .... now I'm trying this procedure (https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1526491339024314368) and I will keep you informed if it works with UI 3.0 too
Nothing... It's still under warranty and will go to the service center
If restarting occurs exactly certain time period its firmware problem. otherwise battery or emmc fault.

It could be the best, probably it's a hardware issue that comes from the battery flex cable.
