I have a Huawei Y600-U20 Smart phone that fails to boot, it stucks at Huawei Logo.
I had this problem before and i was able to flash it through recovery mode with this firmware Y600-U20_V100R001C456B008_Firmware_Malaysia_Indonesia_Philippines_Others_05021NTQ (SD card).
Now i cannot use the recovery mode to flash the same firmware, i can enter the recovery mode but the android recovery mode seems faulty, the android robot is displayed but keeps blinking after every few second. There are no command menus displayed as it used to.
Can anyone help me on how to revive the recovery mode so that i can flash my phone.
NB: When i connect to the PC/Laptop the same Huawei logo appears. Is there any way to flash the phone?.
Your assistance is highly appreciated.
Can you boot your device into Fastboot mode? If yes, you can flash custom recovery from flashing using ADB.
The tutorial is as detailed as it should be. Thank you Author “Devs-Lab Staff”. i am able to resurrect my “Salora Arya A1+” phone based on mtk6582. I thank you again for this helpful website and tutorial. Long live devsjournal.com
You’re welcome! 🙂

My xolo a500l bricked so I download stock rom by so flash tool but it’s not working properly so what can I do?!!
I NEED HELP!
> My phone (non-removable battery) is stucked at the boot logo maybe due to the restoration of backup the I’ve done that leads me to no access of my custom recovery using combined keys. Whenever I tried to hold volume up and down it directs my phone to the two choices which are recovery mode and factory mode but by the time that I will be selecting the action to perform my phone will be doing again the same thing which is showing the logo over and over again instead of directing me to factory or recovery mode. Aside from that how am I suppose to go to “Download Mode” if my phone’s battery is non-removable?
> Next Question: I already got my stock rom from our group on facebook but I can’t find the “scatter file” to be used for the sp flash tool. What should I do? My phone is limited edition (MyPhone Agua Iceberg Slim) and can’t find the proper files to flash over the net. Anyone who’s willing to help me? :'(
Hey Paul,
Here’s the proper Stock firmware for your device (MyPhone Agua Iceberg Slim): Download. It has the scatter file. Now talking about How to boot in download mode, Switch off your device. Load the scatter file in SP Flash tool & connect your device by pressing Power + Volume buttons(It works majority of the time).
Thank you for the said file Devs-Lab Staff. But I guess it is too late already to recover my phone since it is no longer booting due to the action I had performed using sp flash tool. I don’t know what exactly the condition of my phone is. But I guess it can still be detected by my pc. By the way thank you again. :'(
Hello,
I am using xolo q3000.
I tried to install CyanogenMod rom 11 in my device and now stucked on boot logo.
When the phone is switched off, it shows battery charging icon and whenever I am trying to switch it on, it freezes on boot logo.
Now I have tried the sp flash tool to flash with its stock rom but nothing is happening after I click download or firmware- update buttons.
I connects to pc but immediately get disconnected.

If you can boot into fastboot mode. Just flash device’s recovery & flash stock ROM directly!
