NOWA 5 PRO smartphone boot problem after factory reset

[Sunlich]

Hi,

Recently got myself a NOWA5PRO phone, 128gb storage, 8gb ram. 10core processor etc. Pretty fantastic specs for a phone costing less than 50quid.

Noticed it's a Huawei NOVA5pro clone, and are largely unbranded so Hard to get manufacturer help.

Problem is after doing a hard factory reset, wiping the cache and used data areas via FORMAT command using the hidden RESET menu REACHED by using Power+VolUP buttons at Off state.

Will. Not boot.
I got another same model after getting a refund for the 1st I have Broken.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience of these phones, and as I'm a complete novice with the Android OS at the low-level internal workings, was hoping to get some help with this one, possibly using the 2nd working NOWA5PRO.

I have virtually no experience using the Android-Pc ADB command and thought there might be 2 possible ways to fox the unbolting NOWA.

Solution 1;. Ripping the NOWA5PRO boot drivers from 2nd, the using the 'ADB SIDELOAD driversfile' command

Solution 2;. Hoping there's another hidden FACTORY-RESET menu that I've missed and don't know how to reach it.

[ The ulefone9pro smartphone I also possess has this 2nd hidden manufacturer menu which I use to reset the phone every now and then to refresh everything - just as I do with my Windows10 Pro ... Steps I use to keep everything refreshed ]

I have a fairly high level experience using Windows, being an ex games programmer, but NONE with the windows interfacing and Android devkits, low-level functioning of hardware knowledge of these new smartphones.

I was hoping to get help with keypress combination to get to this elusive 2nd RESET menu - if it exists at all on these unbranded nowa5pro's..

Or instruction on how to take drivers from 2nd nowa5 and so can be used on the first to get booting working again.

Sorry this is a huge read- it's my autistic nature to write essays instead of a single sentence.😭

BTW, only ADB command experience gained is to connect to phone and ask it to identify, after updating the phone's windows-end-Android drivers and using 'ADB list-devices' command. [ Just to clarify my ADB experience's virtually NIL ]

Oh good grief......

Linux, my friend, Linux. No rebooting needed....ever. (Okay, almost never.)

As for your phone--it's Linux, which means none of that 'reset to keep refreshed' business. Just let Android manage things as it's designed to, and does very well.

Hi.,,
As you can probably guess, I'm clueless about these Android phones architecture,
I know nothing about Linux either. Never used it. Windows and directx are my areas..

Sounds like you're suggesting there's no way to reactivate this phone? I'

I was just asking for helpful tips..... Ta

You don't really need to be. You've got a counterfeit phone, and a rather cheapo one as well. And these are often very poor quality. There's really nothing you can do with the thing, as there's usually no support information for fake products. And really only thing you can do is see about returning it for a refund.

If it had been a real Huawei nova 5 Pro, and not a cheap knock-off. It probably wouldn't have crapped out on you, and manufacturer support wouldn't have been a problem.

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

I did get a refund for it and they didn't ask for it to be returned. And didn't actually fail/crap-out as you put it.
I simply just did a factory reset, as I mucked about with too many settings without knowing what they were for. And it didn't have the 'Mount System' option in the list where the Format and ADB options are..

I just bought another cos it is a good phone and less than £50, regardless of it being a fake clone of Huawei Nova 5, and I'm gonna see if I can simply use ADB to pull drivers off the working nowa5 , and sideload into the other.
I'm a complete novice to Android and Linux OS's, and letting me know about it being Linux has helped loads. Thanks.

I'm autistic, and enjoy learning and fixing things. So I see this as a fun little project.🤪
