[Q] No access to recovery

Hello,
I plan to install a custom rom, and for that I followed all the tutorials on the web without success.
Using Acer recovery install, whatever the chosen recovery I get the error "recovery verified failed", and flashing the stock 4.03 recovery I have bugdroid lying.
Using AfterOta, it freezes at step 3/5 and Blackthund3r, it stuck stage two..
I have a bootloader and ICS 4.0.3 OTA maj.
If someone has an idea, I'd be grateful
Thanks !

Rooted?
Yes? use AcerRI to install any recovery.
Download thor200240/digetx CWM 1.7.3.zip here
Copy zip to SD card
Reboot to recover.
Install from zip file > Choose file from SD Card
Select the zip and install.
Reboot to recover if u see CWM 1.7.3 ur set.
Full Backup
Save your cpuid (In your CWM folder on your sd card inside the backup files u just made. Should be a text file named uid.txt or cpuid.txt.)
Copy any compatible rom onto your SD card
Wipe data, cache and dalvik
Flash your rom the same way u installed the .zip file.

Thank you for your response.
Yes, I'm rooted and I already tried Acer Recovery Install without success...
I get "recovery verified failed" (in red)...

tried all the recoveries in ARI?
use adb to install the zip then.

I tried all the recovery... And I don't know how to use adb :s can you quickly explain ?

use the platformer tool link below to use adb so u dont need sdk.
Follow instructions on platformer tool download page to set up your adb
open command prompt and navigate to your platformer
cmd commands:
view available directories: dir
change directory: cd (cd desktop (forward directory example) / cd .. (up directory example))
Use this guide to install with adb
cwm: here
platformer: here

Ok, I'll try later because I can't now and I tell you !
Thanks !!

make sure your rooted too, that could be causing the issue with ari..
download root checker from play store its free

Having the same issue.
I will also look into adb tool because I'm in the same boat. I did pretty much the same thing and am also stuck with the same error message and can't access the Recovery mode.

Follow this guide here
but use the recovery from the zip in earlier post.

[Guide] Flash OTAs with TWRP (OS 2.1.3/ 005)

Firstly, you cannot install OTA's with TWRP. You'll have to get back to stock recovery in order to install patches.
Thanks to @eng.stk, with the recovery compiled from source, we now can flash OTA Zips from TWRP.
Download TWRP 2.8.7.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=15364
Download the following OTA's and move them to internal/external storage and proceed to install them from TWRP.
OxygenOS_X_Rom.zip (003)
OTA Patch 003-004.zip
OTA Patch 004-005.zip (Uploaded by @Razertje)

It's most likely that you tampered the system and recovery partition. I uploaded the stock recovery here, flash the stock recovery, then flash to system dump, then this patch.

Well, i did a nandroid backup before getting rooted, i tried to restore my phone so i could properly do the ota, but now there is no OS installed
But my computer still detect my phone, where can i download the full rom please ?

By flashing the system dump I meant, install this zip package http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/ota003all20151024193-oxygenos-ota-dump-t3244996. This zip package is stock system dump bearing version 03. Then flash to 03-04 patch.

is this OTA solved the problem with microsd cards?

Can anybody help with a generic error trying to flash the stock recovery again?
No reason why just says failed. I am rooted with TWRP and trying to revert to stock to be able to OTA. Last android was a nexus 4 and been away a little while so I may be missing something.. I don't want to have to wipe all my data and such can somebody assist and refresh my understanding?

Dizzyrul3z: No, microSD card issue remains according to official forum--next OTA I bet.
I'm rooted, TWRP also errored when I attempted the OTA installed.
So to clarify, using TWRP I want to install three zips: stock rom, OTA03 (system dump), and OTA04 (update), wipe cache/dalvik. Correct?
Question: I install them all at once in TWRP, right? Will any of this erase my apps/data?
Thanks,

You need to flash to Stock recovery as well. I'll be updating the OP.

So this update is newer than the one mentioned here right ? : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oxygenos-2-1-2-will-start-roll-out-to-oneplus-x-today.402637/

Instructions:
1. Switch to Stock Recovery if you're running TWRP. But how to do it? Restore this backup from TWRP.
2. Flash the system dump available at this thread.
3. Now flash this update/patch.
4. Then fastboot flash TWRP recovery if you only need it.
Just my 2 cents, boot TWRP instead of flashing it. I personally suggest.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp_directory_of_your_pc.img
PSA: You'll need Stock recovery to patch official updates.
PS: My Memory Card is working exceptionally fine. I am using a Samsung EVO+ 32GB.

I also copied the zip into the TWRP backup folder, but can't select it to restore.

Help with rooting nougat mate 8 + Question

Warning: This is probably gonna be a long post and may have typos.
Now, let's cut to the chase.
I'm currently on my Mate 8 emui.4, I had my phone rooted a while ago with TWRP and SuperSu. After rooting, I had the nougat update and I updated without knowing that it would remove TWRP and my root access. That was not the only problem! I couldn't switch on my Bluetooth. Also I lost the update option from the about phone location. I tried searching it in the search bar and clicking on the update button but, nothing would open up. And.. Yes, it was an official update. I tried to root it with the usual method but, it got me into a bootloop. I tried most TWRP versions but, it didn't seem to work! Either there would be no recovery (just a Black screen with some text) or the options inside the TWRP recovery wouldn't work. So I rerolled back to Mate 8 marshmellow. Now I don't have root, no TWRP or unlocked bootloader. So my question is if I should root my current phone version of emui.4 and be satisfied by it by unlocking bootloader now and rooting it, or update my phone to Mate 8 nougat again? If you're suggesting I update to nougat please provide me with ALL the necessary files to root Nougat and please guide me through. And provide me with the information on what to do in the worst case scenario too.. Please .

@Devil Chan
I think you should make like that:
Download the new firmware without to install it
Unpack the bigger file in a dload folder created on the external sd. You must to have a big file (more than 1 GB), inside you should find an update.app file, you put this one on the dload folder
Unlock bootloader
Install insecure boot for your current firmware (B200)
Install twrp
Reboot to twrp
Wipe - factory reset
Format data
Power off your phone
Install new firmware via the 3 buttons combo
After installation, make a factory reset via erecovery
Power off the phone and reboot to bootloader
Install Decrypted data boot for the B560
Install frd-twrp
Reboot to the twrp
Format data
Reboot to the twrp
Install update data of NXT-L29C185B560, I think you also have it in the downloaded files of your new firmware
Install supersu EMUI 5.0
Reboot system - normally fully rooted
For the 1 & 2, I think the files are like I said, if no, don't make this tuto. You shall see otherwise.
For the 4, it's the little issue. You must to recover a stock boot B200 and I could make you the insecure boot or Decrypted data boot, it's almost the same.
For the root questions, we can continue here.
This may seem very complicated but don't worry, it's not!

First of all thank you so very much for replying,
I'm sorry, I'm a newbie. I have a few questions.
Where do I download the firmware from? link me to it please?
What is insecure boot? Flash using fastboot? Link?
7 and 8, Factory reset doesn't format data? Using erecovery or TWRP?
What's frd-twrp? How do I install it?
Step 10 and 18, after installing the new firmware, why would I need to update it? How do I update it?
Can you make me the insecure boot? I don't know how to use it? Do I just flash it with fastboot?
Sorry got asking so many questions.. I feel really bad asking this many.

Your first screenshot, you can update it there.
Insecure boot is a boot.img which enable you to decrypt your data folder. It's necessary to root. You flash it with fasboot, ok.
Yes, Factory reset doesn't format the data
TWRP
it's a unofficial twrp for Nougat. You flash it with fasboot
Because you should format the data before
Via TWRP if it's really like I think (obtained files in the update)
Yes if I've the stock boot. Normally you can recover it via ADB
Yeah

The first should be update.app file extracted to the big file (above 1 GB), you will put it in dload. The second will be a zip what you will install with the TWRP.

Hey, Dev's

I have problem, can anyone tell me, can I flash Official ROM Via TWRP? I tried but no success, so, I ask You for help!

download huawei update extractor (latest)
download the update.app file.
when you open the extractor, select the update.app u want to extract.
there are two options, either you extract the files (system, boot, cust e.t.c) or make a flashable zip.
in this case, make a flashable zip.

When you download it it will be in zip file. Don't extract the APP file. just flash the zip file and it will be installed. It's recommended to use the latest TWRP version (3.1.1)
BTW you will lose TWRP and root after flashing it so you can simply flash the stock recovery and update locally

You can flash img files with TWRP for recovery and boot. So you can update TWRP or even flash the stock recovery without PC but you will need PC later to flash TWRP back
But as I told you you will lose TWRP and root after flashing the full firmware file even if you flashed it through TWRP. Without PC that means you may not be able to get them back
If you want to update to the latest firmware without losing them you can flash any EMUI custom ROM there's already B604 custom rom here in xda

It will give you a small error but it ends successfully. you can flash the update.zip (not the APP by itself) in TWRP, only FULL versions though. Tested.
