Hi all,

Please help me!
I think i messed up pretty badly here. I tried downgrading from Oreo to Nougat but I think I tried to install a wrong image. Now when i boot i get:

ERROR MODE
Attention! Please update system again

Error!
Fun NO : 15 (bl31 image)
Error NO : 1 (security verify failed)

I've tried the dload method but it doesn't even start. I boot it up holding power, vol+, vol-, and it gets stuck at "your device is booting now."

I can't access twrp, even after flashing it again.
I can get into fastboot and I've tried manually flashing images from an update.app, but after that, the same problem still persists. Trying to relock the boot loader gives an error "command not allowed"

Does anybody have any ideas?

So you're saying that I wait until my battery drains, then go into fastboot and roll back to C432B185? Maybe you could help me by outlining the steps to flash via fastboot?

So after waiting for the battery to drain, holding vol down, and plugging the USB, I'm back where I was before with being in fastboot. Running HWOTA results in the same problem for when it tells me to reboot to TWRP after install, the phone goes to error mode.
I'm pretty sure the bl31 image corruption is preventing me from booting into recovery.

Ok so i flashed boot.img, recovery.img, system.img all OKAY.
Reboot and i get the same error..

The problem is with the bl31 image, which is in ARM Trusted Firmware.
Maybe if i could figure out how to flash TRUSTFIRMWARE.img that would work. I tried this, but it doesn't work. I don't know the partition name.

fastboot flash trustfirmware
unknown partition 'trustfirmware'

Hi
I have the exact same problem
After trying all of the methods I found (dload, HWOTA, TWRP, etc), I finally took the phone to the service center.
They told me it was an easy fix, then they called me and told me that probably they were going to replace the motherboard
I'm still waiting for them to call me for confirmation.
If you got any news on this, please keep posting
Thanks!

I actually ended up using dc pheonix to fix it. It worked perfectly. I had to pay about 15 dollars for credits. It used some sort of backdoor and flashed a new ROM from scratch.

I tried DC Phoenix and It did not work. They returned me my money.
At the service center they finally replaced my motherboard, in warranty, even though the phone was unlocked and I bricked it completely
