M3 - AP_S_ABNORMAL - bricked for good?

[sam10000]

Hi

I managed to screw up by flashing a Nougat-to-Marshmallow downgrade (1st of two) update.app whilst still on Marshmallow.

M3 now shows Huawei logo in a loop.

Entered fastboot & rescue mode using Vol-/Power, and saw AP_S_ABNORMAL.

HiSuite system recovery procedure led to "Your device is not supported for system recovery".

Since my M3 bootloader is locked, I guess there is nothing more that can be done.

Still, if an experienced user has any angle, it would be most welcome!

Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. My wife dropped her phone in some water so i disassembled the phone. It was also trying to upgrade the firmware as i was taking it apart but i pulled the battery from the device (I panicked). So i have got everything working again. but i can't boot into the device. It only displays the time after startup. I have tried factory resetting, dowloading firmware and putting it on the sdcard in the dload folder but, alas, so far no luck getting it going. I also entered the fastboot & rescue mode using Vol-/Power, and saw AP_S_ABNORMAL message. In addition to that it also said PHONE_LOCK and FRP_LOCK.

It's a pretty delicate device. I bricked mine with an unlocked bootloader. There's no low level chipset utilities like there is for the qualcomm chips. I'm so stupid I got the M5; won't be piddling with this one. If someone normal would only make a decent LTE TAB I'd gladly run screaming from huawei.

Try the "dload" method. Create a "dload" folder on the sdcard and put the second "update.app" into it. Now boot into recovery by shutting the device off and starting it with all 3 hardware buttons pressed.

I did this but it says update failed.
