P9 lite bootloop please help - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

I tried to install Xposed but something went wrong and my P9 lite now continues bootlooping
how can i restore it?
from eRecovery it doesn't work...

eRecovery?
You need TWRP to install Xposed so... I assume you do have TWRP?
Then just restore your backup. I do hope you have a backup!
If not, make a wipe and flash a stock firmware. You can find links here in the forum.
Always make a backup of your working system when you flash stuff.
A bootloop from installing Xposed is not normal! I assume you have flashed a wrong version.
Keep in mind that it takes a long time for the first boot after installing Xposed so it might not even be a bootloop.

can you link me the stock recovery? for VNS-L31
how i have to flash it now?

You can find links to the newest firmwares here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/stock-firmware-links-t3468245
The links provide you with a flashable zip file that can be flashed through TWRP.

No. You need to find a way to install TWRP first.
But how did you flash Xposed when you don't have TWRP?
Or how did you lose TWRP access? I can't really see how you do not have TWRP...

i have twrp but sometimes it access to it and sometimes no

you can do it with fastboot... flash the twrp img

i haven't access to my twrp

i haven't access to my twrp anymore

when it's shut down i pressed power off + v up + v down and iy says installing update but at 5% it stops

Try to reinstall TWRP using fastboot.
There are guides in here how to do that. I'm on mobile right now so can't really search the links.
But you installed TWRP before so just try to do it again but do it in fastboot mode. You should be able to still access this.

If you want to return to stock download a full firmware and extract it using huawei firmware extractor or similar. Then you can use fastboot to flash boot.img, cust.img, system.img and both of the recoveries. This only applies if you have the boot loader unlocked.
If it stops at 5% the oeminfo may not match the firmware you are trying to flash (at least it was my problem). You can also flash the correct oeminfo partition through fastboot (oeminfo files are available just search).
Edit: And I agree with what Schlengge as posted. You should still be able to flash twrp trough the fastboot mode.

Hello.
I'm stuck on here since 2 PM of yesterday and I can't figure out the mess I made.
So today I tryed on removing brand Vodafone (italian), and i did make it but i ended up with C900 and couldn't log with google, i tried installing oeminfos but i got the one from P9 (not lite) and it bricked my phone and it was stuck at booting sayng my datas were unable to load and suggests me a factory reset (lowleve) which the system made from itself.
Now I flashed the userdata and it worked, now the phone boot but Model number says hi625 and serial lacks of L31.. i mean it is VNS-C432B130..
Someone knows hot to help me?
i think its the same of balong version in p8 lite.
Thanks Everybody.

If you have unlocked the bootloader I would suggest flashing all the important images manually using fastboot (cust + cache + system + boot + recovery + recovery2). Also before rebooting flash the oeminfo (the C432 p9 lite one, either dual or single sim) file using fastboot (do NOT flash a zip file trough fastboot).
After doing this try to flash using erecovery combo (+ and - button combo) and do a factory reset. In my case that fixed it.
Edit: Since you want to debrand I would suggest using the VNS-L31C432B151 firmware.

flash the twrp img with fastboot, then sideload the xposed uninstall zip

Request for information: Update rooted Honor 7 on 5.0.2 TWRP recovery to 6.0.1

Hi. My phone status:
PLK-L01
PLK-L01C432B180
EMUI version 3.1
5.0.2
rooted with TWRP boot recovery.
I'm looking for steps to update to android version 6.0.1 without losing all of my data, and keeping phone rooted and same recovery.
Is this something which is possible?
The only steps I have found is to how to replace stock recovery to update OTA.
I expect I would then need to root phone again afterwards.
Is this the recommended way of updating, or can I manually perform the update safely, and are there tried and tested instructions for this?
Many Thanks in advance for any responses.

Completely unroot from settings menu in SuperSU app, Download latest firmware that is B380, use Huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery from update.app which you will get by extracting firmware, flash it in bootloader mode.
Copy update.app to dload folder in SD card, turn off your phone. Press and hold power, Vol up, vol down until a reboot. Let go of power after booting but keep other two pressed for five, six sec more.

Hi. Many thanks for the prompt response.
That all seems straight forward, I just have one step I'd like you to confirm, if you would, and an additional question:
"flash it in bootloader mode"
So, after unrooting the phone, I will still have TWRP recovery available to use?
And, once I am at latest 6 firmware, do I need to use something like SRK Tools to reroot, or will SuperSU app still be installed and able to perform the re-root?
Thanks,
M.

After the unroot, the twrp recovery will still be there. You need to replace it with stock recovery by flashing it in bootloader mode, only then you can upgrade.
After upgrading to 6.0 you need to flash twrp again (in bootloader mode) and then flash SuperSU 2.62 (in twrp, for a root). Don't flash any other version.

Thanks for the support.
OK, I'm going to leave it for today, and try again tomorrow.
Basically, I go through the steps to flash the stock recovery but can't complete this first step ;
By the way, there are 2 files in the update.app - recovery.img and recovery2.img. Does it matter which one I use?
And does the header file need to be in the same location, or can that be ignored for this step?
Anyhoo, after flashing via command line, and then do the final 'fastboot reboot' the phone just goes into a continuous boot loop until I interrupt by holding down all of the buttons.
Am I doing something wrong here?
I seem to remember I had this same issue when I first got the phone and was trying to get TWRP recovery installed using this method, and can't for the life of me remember how I got through it
@hoodoo_mc
you have to use recovery.img for the system recovery partition! >>> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery2.img is for the e-recovery partition only!
the header files could be ignored!
But you should flash the boot.img also! >>> fastboot flash boot boot.img >>> because SuperSU has made some changes to your boot partition!!!
to be absolutely save, you should flash the system.img to prevent other problems at last! >>> fastboot flash system system.img
If you use the B380 file to update, you will not loose your data! But it could be clever to backup your personal data and your files with the HUAWEI Backup app!
Good Luck!

For me it does make sense as I don't want Facebook and similar apps to run in the background nagging me with updates. I want them to run and update myself when I have time and tap on them. For battery, it does save some juice for me.

I am not sure what you mean by it.

To update my rooted phone to B182 I had to download the full package (2.3gb, including update.zip and update_full_WASL21A_hw_eu.zip). I was not successfull in updating via TWRP. I updated via the official system menu so I don't know how exactly it was applied. According to other guides (http://www.stechguide.com/tag/was-lx1c432b182/ for example) it should be update.zip first and update_full_WASL21A_hw_eu.zip second, without a reboot.

Stuck in TWRP after pushed upgrade 28s

This morning I my phone pesented itself in TWRP.
Maybe this is because over the past days I repeatedly got notifications that a system upgrade wanted to install itself (I have a modified 26s X720 from Tora33).
I rejected those notifications.
Now I am stuck in TWRP and I cannot get around it. What I tried:
Reinstalling previous firmware (Tora33 26s) still on the phone
Restoring a TWRP backup from 6 months ago (TWRP didn't see it, maybe it's from a previous TWRP version, I now have v. 3.1)
Flash via fastbood factory image using Mauro's Tool All In One (error message "can't find file mke2fs.conf")
Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system; then install Mauro_V2.2 cleansed 23s firmware which I transferred to the phone
Every time it boots up in TWRP.
Your bricked you never flash ota with twrp you should read before doing anything.
The only thing that can help is ofil.
I suggest you study well before trying it.

Oh boy. Thanks anyway. OTA flashed itself, couldn't stop it. Maybe I made it worse by trying to fix.
The bootloader is not locked according to the AIO tool. I can flash succesfully any firmware, only after flashing the phone will still boot in TWRP. It is strange it still boots in TWRP. Is there no simpler trick like flashing the standard recovery and then flashing OFW?
You mention Ofil; do you think the guide described here work?

Yes, that QFIL guide is for the x720.
In my opinion, the best way to return stock is to push update.zip into phones main folder, then install stock recovery, then in this one install update zip then check that OS is working. If it is, then go into twrp and wipe. Can't do it?
I'll mention myself;

If he was just going back stock that would work he flash 28s ota with twrp so this will not work.

No brick after OFW push 28s
The pushed (unvoluntary) update didn't brick my phone after all. This may be important for those that have modified stock ROMs with TWRP.
Not being able to restore OFW was a bug in Mauro's All-in-One tool which he fixed last night. After I could easily flash 20S or 26S stock from his repository. I would also recommend this as safest/easiest procedure. Afterwards you can just flash TWRP from the same tool and move from there.
By the way, immediately after flashing 20s the FW notified it wanted to update itself, again!

ZTE Axon 7 A2017G Europe model stuck on ZTE boot screen

Hello, as the title states, I have somehow managed to get my ZTE Axon 7 on the boot screen while trying to flash twrp recovery.
I am thinking to let the battery drain and reboot it, but I don't know if this will solve my problem.
Any help from someone with better knowledge on this is greatly appreciated as I am not that experienced in this.
Thank you!

why don't you just hold the power button?
If you can enter TWRP after this (power + vol up) then you'll be able to fix everything. If you can't, your other options are EDL (all 3 buttons), fastboot (unlikely on a G, but you need to get adb for that), or ADB, to get into EDL
In the same boat actually, unlocked the bootloader using the EDL Tool, then setup phone again from scratch fine, downloaded apps etc, then installed 3.2.1.0 from TWRP website, but now stuck on zte screen. Can boot into twrp though.

well in your case you can try installing another TWRP version from TWRP itself (install image).
If that doesn't work I'd say format data and install Magisk right after that, maybe it's something related to data

I tried to format data but it fails with an error message. I also tried another version of twrp linked here with the same result. I think your right and I will have to flash magisk or SuperSU after flashing twrp, which is a shame, as I wasn't actually intending to root it, I simply wanted to have unlocked BL and TWRP installed.
I have a working phone again by doing full EDL restore, so currently Unlocked BL with stock recovery.
I installed SuperSU using trwp and it all works now.

twrp gets erased

Hello guys i need an urgent help yesterday i unlocked bootloader on my g5 plus which was running Android 8.1 everything was ok i installed twrp latest version it got installed but when i reeboted to system the twrp gets erased idk how whenever i try to boot into recovery it shows no command sign and then after pressing power button it boots into stock recovery ! Guys can anyone mention me a solution thread or just explain me what to do ! Thank you
Reinstall it, and then boot right into recovery. If I remember, there is a pop up when you go to close twrp and boot to system to keep twrp, or some such nag.
As far as i remember there were 2 files. dm-verity and forced encryption. I never needed them but if you stay on stock you will have to flash those so that twrp doesn't get replaced by stock recovery everytime you reboot. Check the how to root forum you should find more information there about this.
Or you can just root it and twrp won't erase with stock recover.

I didn't either, as you wrote if you boot into TWRP before going to system it should stick or also if you flash magisk before booting the OS.
But there are some devices/ROMs that need the no verity flag to be disabled so flashing this file might help if TWRP won't stick (even when DM verity looks for a tampered system partition in the first case). There are also some terminal commands to do that but I forgot them at the moment.
I mainly used the zip to keep my /data partition decrypted after reformating it. When flashing Nougat magisk did the job for me but when I upgraded to Oreo /data was reencrypted again after flashing magisk and booting into system.
The above zip prevents /data from being encrypted again and may make sure that TWRP sticks.
ahhh, ok I see. Thanks for the explanation.
