I unlocked the bootloader, now I keep getting this message in fastboot when I try to flash twrp "error cannot load twrp 2.8.7.2-angler". I'm not sure why.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just renamed the file to "recovery.img" and it worked.

I used the WonderHowTo site incorrectly to flash a nexus 5 version of twrp unto my nexus 4.
My device at this point booted to a blank screen. It could still boot the boot loader at this point.
To "fix" this I found the correct version of twrp for my device and proceeded to flash that unto my device.
This has appeared to work since I can access twrp on my device but it is only thing I can access on the phone. When I attempt to boot to system through twrp I am sent back into twrp.
I have attempted to use the wugfresh root tool kit to unroot and return to stock using both soft bricked and phone is still working normally options with no success.
It can still boot to the boot loader currently.
I have logs from the toolkit if these can shed more light on my issue.
Is there anyway I can return my device to stock? Thanks for any response

Seems like you flashed TWRP to /boot. Easy fix is to download your ROM zip. Extract the boot.img and "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Then flash TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
The locations and filenames of the files may vary. But hopefully you get the idea.

I flashed a boot image for mako_KTU84P and flashed recovery again with twrp but I'm still system booting into twrp.
My bootloader version is MAKOZ30f if that is any help
I probably flashed the incorrect boot image. Could you point me in the direction of reliable ROM zip's if that is the case.

Okay adb push a cyanogenmod zip from here and flash it in recovery. It should automatically install a working boot image. You should also flash the latest bootloader in the factory image with "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img" if you're using an outdated bootloader.
used the advice
I pushed the zip file using cmd and it appears to have been successful since I was given the summary of data transferred and how long it took once the process was finished.
I can't find the zip file in twrp to attempt to flash it.. Is there any reason the file name would change inside the device once it has been pushed?
Is there a way to flash the zip in question without pushing it unto the device?
Hi, my problem is with the L31,
I've trying to downgrade from Nougat to MM. I saw on the thread this steps and i followed:
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img (This one is in the second zip from badwolf nougat download)
Then I flashed badwolfs recovery b2 as that one lets me transfer files from pc to phone and followed instructions from htcmania from here".
The problem is that i didn't reach to downgrade and when i try to reinstall Nougat by TWRP i get this error messages:
" E: Unknow comand (errno) update_huawei-pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed"
"Updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/DLoad/Update.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done"
Now my phone stays freeze on the huawei logo and the flashtool doesn't even recognize my device.
Can someone help me with this matter, please?

Good luck
so now i restored twrp , i put the update app in sd card and it doesn't want to flash , i'm still trapped in bootloop but i have access to twrp now what to do now ?
I found the old twrp is okey for downgrade,
Just put b161 update.app into sdcard/dload and press volume down + power key.
but flash badwolf's twrp will get stuck in fastboot, though It's not really bricked.
hi, maybe you also have a solution for my problem.
i installed a wrong update via sd card (dload etc.), now my phone is just black no signal nothing. and it seems like a fastboot loop always when i plug into the pc im in fastboot without doing anything
when i try to unlock the bootloader i get "failed command not allowed")
and also when i try to flash the extracted files from update.zip i get the same error ("failed command not allowed")
by the way i didnt active usb debuggin or oem unlocking
please help thank you
I just finished flashing the latest vendor image + dirty unicorns rom + root + gapps and made a reboot.
Then I decided to also update my bootloader and downloaded 3.68.
I went into TWRP, flash .img, boot, choose bootloader.img
Thw flash was successfull but since then i cant boot the rom anymore? I am only able too boot the recovery but not the rom.
Do I need to re-flash the rom now or what should I do?
Oh it seems like flashing "boot" in "TWRP" means that you will flash the boot.img and not the bootloader.
So I just flashed the bootloader via fastboot and I guess I will be just fine if I extract boot.img from the lates rom.zip and flash that in TWRP?
@edit: ye that fixed it.

Yep, never flash any images other than the vendor, bootloader and radio unless you are trying to restore to stock. Bootloader is the obvious area of the phone you can use to enter recovery but boot is the actual boot process of the phone so be careful there. Glad you got it sorted.:good:
This is my first time trying to root my android.
I have successfully unlocked oem but can't seem to flash twrp.
I have downloaded twrp 3.2.1 on my desktop and renamed it to "recovery".
Entered fastboot on phone, used the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" but it just says "error: cannot open 'recovery.img' "
Can anyone please tell me how to get twrp installed?
I accidentally flashed a magisk_patched.img thinking that it is going to Install Magisk into my phone.
I entered the following command: fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img (Not specifying the boot slots)
Once I rebooted, it says system UI is not responding.
I went back to fastboot mode, and entered the following commands knowing it had worked previously before:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
I tried switching boot slots, but both shows the same error once I am rebooted "System UI not responding".
I have no TWRP installed and I just want to start FRESH. I have the OOS 10.3.1 Zip file ready. I just do not know how to install it.
It also seems like my phone does not want to boot into recovery mode. It is currently stuck in fastboot. Both slots have this error.
Pleasee help me out!
Use MSMDownloadTool to reflash stock image. Follow directions of that. Can be found easily here on forums.
Alternatively, since fastboot is working you can try and use a fastboot version of OOS rom and flash without relocking bootloader.

I still don't understand why people are so eagerly desperately searching to use patch img method.... We have a working TWRP you just have to fastboot boot temporarily twrp and flash Magisk zip installer....
Anyway, why did you mess with slots? 90% of time it leads to soft brick. You don't need to specify slot when fastbooting an img, it's flashed automatically on active one.
In your situation, try to fastboot flash the ROM, there is a thread in Guide News section providing OOS in fastboot format.
Or use MSMdownload to put your phone in factory fresh state, there is a thread in same section about that it's called 'collection of unbrick tools'
And my thread in same section explains how to root 10.3.1
