Hi people...
Everything was going so smoothly... bootloader unlock... root... some nice root apps... free paid games... and my p8 lite was just feeling so good... until... I flashed twrp with flashify under the name of boot.img... Am I stupid or what?! Now I can only get 2 scenarios... when i turn on the phone it goes directly to twrp. In twrp i get the option to go the bootloader screen... If I choose system it goes back to twrp... I can't get it to start. I downloaded the official tar.gz from emui site but I dont know how can I install it. PLEASE HELP... What should I do in this case?! I miss my baby...
Thanks in advance
You have to restore stock recovery in fastboot mode.

How do I do that?! If I wanted to wipe my phone completely and re-install the OS would be better to do it using twrp or stock recovery?
Thank you very much
Sorry, i misunderstood. If you flashed twrp as boot.img, reflash stock boot in fastboot mode.
flash stock boot.img in fastboot mode
and then flash twrp as recovery
will be like this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot reboot
use the boot.img from stock rom and twrp image you downloaded
Oh no!
Now I made some serious **** to my baby... guess now i'll have to send it to huawei to fix it. I made a full wipe like if it was format c: in computers... everything is gone (i didnt had any personal data) it doesnt have OS even. But when I still had twrp i tried to flash boot.img and recovery.img and now when i start it goes directly to bootloader screen but saying "please update system again" and where it used to say phone unlocked it now says (in red letters):
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
I was able to get to eRecovery with usb connected but when i choose to download e install the new version it gives me the message "wifi starting failed".
It also does not get any instuction with fastboot. but hi suite starts when I connect it. Strange?!
What do you think? Should I send it to huawei? Or is it possible for me to make it work again?
Also tried UPDATE.APP function and all give me fail message.
I'm going crazy!!!! But I love to mess around with android... To me this is the android essence. Fortunately I have a lumia for when my baby doesnt work.loooool
Thank you all
I don't understand why you don't use fastboot. Everybody told you to use it. In our phone situation, without custom kernel or rom, twrp is for experimentation and you cannot mix things.

Well, you warned me... but sometimes i do these kind of *****... So, in this situation you think it's better to send it or is there way to fix this.
By the way, when I enter huawei eRecovery and I get the option to download the firmware through wifi and it says wifi starting failed, is there any way to make this work? And to fastboot do we need to open cmd as administrator to make it work? Because if Hi suite detects the phone I should also be able to fastboot it right?
Thanks for your patience
Just use fastboot aand flash everything
Recovery

hello I have p8 lite unlocked and rooted, yesterday I wanted to install the TWRP 2.8.7. but I was wrong and I installed twrp for the p8 and not p8 lite.
When I go into recovery mode my phone locks that read huawey, I tried with fastboot command to delete the wrong recovery and install the right of the p8 lite but the result does not change, my phone locks that read huawey
i think The commands that you wrote and that I have quoted are also fine for my case, it's' true?

Hi everyone!!
First of all, thanks to everybody who helped me with this situation.
I now am using my baby again as if it was new. I wiped him completely as i stated before and it was as easy as finding the right firmware (136a) and using the vol down + vol up + power button technique. I put the UPDATE.APP file inside a folder named dload in sdcard using other phone (with my p8 was impossible). After that rebooted the device, pressed those 3 buttons and the instalation started successfully.
I just cant explain how happy i was. I stayed 3 days without it.
After that I have been messing with fastboot so thanks to everyone who made me realize that i didnt need to do all of this, but well, A full wipe is always welcome.
Is there any custom kernel on the way for overclock my baby?
Please explain to me how do I put SOLVED in this thread as my problem is already solved...
Thanks

Yeah finally my phone is working now thanks to you I searched many treads and forums but i cant find a solution. But finally i got an easy solution Thank you again bro.. Good Luck !!!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Just download your firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract boot.img,cust.img,recovery.img and system.img
After that,download mininal adb fastboot copy you files into fastboot folder , enter fastboot mode on your phone and from fastboot folder,open cmd and type these commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
After this your phone will boot normally. Once you've done this, copy update.app to your sdcard or internal and install it by local update. Once you've done all this,your phone is fine.
May I know how do you wipe your internal storage? and what if after wiping, im unable to get into recovery mode? does it mean phone is not usable anymore?
SOLUTION
Hello. I'm the bigest mess on androids but i know that flashing stock recovery can remove any TWRP/CWR. If its too powerfull flash stock boot and run fastboot -w.(fastboot -w erases all PERSONAL data)

If you know why this happens let me know
Further i wanna thank you one last time .. thank you
Hello guys,
I had my phone rooted with latest twrp. I flashed stock+ rom with Franco Kernel 25r and the A.R.I.S.E file for better sound. I've done the same set up minus the ARISE file and never had an issue.
well to my luck it kept bootlooping and I wasn't able to get back into my custom recovery. When I got home and got my hands on a pc I did a factory reset by manually flashing stock google img . I even used a couple tools since I ran out of ideas and still no luck.
I'm able to do anything through fastboot but I can't seem to get into my recovery at all.
Any ideas or tips of where I should go next?
Not a Hardbrick
As long as you can get to the bootloader mode, you haven't hard bricked your device. Hardbricking is a point where you cant boot your device and in to bootloader so there is no way to flash your device to a useable state.
Now as you can boot to the bootloader, just fastboot boot twrp.img and if you have a factory image zip, copy it in your device internal storage and flash it. Its that simple, provided you are already using an unencrypted boot.img in your current setup. Or else the next step is to flash an decrypted boot.img(you will loose all your userdata and internal storage data.). There are ways to mount the the encrypted filesystem if you are using a pin or password combo with your fingerprint. But without it its a bit more trickier so just for ease and if you dont have any inseparable data in your device now just flash a decrypted boot.img and then you can easily mount your internal storage to your pc and copy the factory image and the rest you already know..
At this point, I'd recommend a full reset.
Flash all the images in the latest Android M factory image (don't flash DP5 or similar N based ROMs): Recovery, Boot, System, Bootloader, Radio, everything.
Once you get stabilized and back into a working phone, then start rooting and messing around with kernels and what not.
To be completely honest, I've flashed nearly every ROM for the 6p, as well as my other Nexus devices, Galaxy phones, Sony phones, and no-name brands and none of those ultra modified kernels did any noticeable change. I tried the F2FS, NTFS, etc file system changes, tweaks to the governors and IO's, all of that, and found the stock kernel was the best. If a kernel with a different IO Scheduler worked even 10% better than the current implementation, and was just as stable, don't you think the Google/Android Engineers would've pushed that to live?
Currently running Pure Nexus July 23rd Update, everything stock that comes with it, Systemless Root/XPosed, and Viper4Android and have never had a performance or stability issue. I'd recommend you do the same.

First of all thank you for the response.
I've tried flashing the most current twrp and it seems to go through fine on fast boot but when I actually try to get into recovery from the device it will boot loop and just keep doing that.
How can I get into the phones storage through fastboot?
Where can I get the factory zip?
it feels as if everything seems to go good through fastboot but when I actually try to boot the phone nothing seems to work.

Thanks for the reply.
I've done the manual flashing already and flashed everything single item the most current factory image. Everything seemed to have gone through okay but when I rebooted the phone it was back to 0.
I'm actually considering getting rid of the phone now since it is my daily =/
Format each partition before flashing.
fastboot format <partition>
wait until it's done, then
fastboot flash <partition> <image>
Some partitions can't be formatted, which there are ways around, but try this first.
Just get to bootloader mode and try booting the twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
From the twrp ui, go to advanced wipe and format your storage.
To mount the internal storage on your PC, enable mtp from twrp screen.
If U are using a decrypted boot.img, it will easily mount ur internal storage. Or try flashing a decrypted boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then try the above again..

I flashed the twrp.img and it went through successfully at least on the computer it did but when the phone actually tries to get into recovery (twrp) it will start to boot loop and keep on doing that. I tried both an encrypted and decrypted boot img but it still made no difference.
I'm really going crazy over this

You need to explain more on what you actually tried here.
Just download the latest factory image and try to flash the latest bootloader using fastboot.
Then boot to the bootloader and try formating the device. Not wiping
Then you have to
fastboot boot twrp.img
I believe you have only tried wiping not formating. I faced similar issue before. But once I flashed a decrypted boot.img, it cleared the user data and then I was able to get to twrp.
Maybe your twrp img is corrupted if this didn't work.

i just flashed the latest bootloader from the most recent factory image and i did the command format user data and then tried the fastboot boot twrp and the phone will then try to get into recovery, the google logo comes up lasts a couple seconds and boot loops all over to where is says my phone cant be check for corruption
By now i should have been able to get into recovery and it wont go through

download a factory image and run the flash all file...... it should reboot your phone after 5 minutes and the issue should be resolved.. a hard brick would be a device that does nothing.... in this case i believe that you just didnt do something right.
Then download the latest factory image and extract it
fastboot flash radio.img
fastboot flash bootloader.img
& do a fastboot update the rest archive file as it is
This will flash the rom via fastboot& U don't have to rely on TWRP or CWM

I was really really hoping this would help. I erase/formated everything before flashing anything. I then ran the flash-all file and it took a couple of minutes and it said finished on the command box and my phone restarted and went into the white google logo and rebooted again with a bootloop. I waited around 15 minutes hoping it would start but it didn't.
It honestly feels as if the phone is not processing the full commands but on the pc it seems to go through successfully
is there a way to force an install of a rom and see if maybe a dirty flash over the stock one will allow it to start up?

Just unzip the factory image and there U can see the flash shell script files too. Open them in a text editor & U could see the exact command. In a factory img, they also do the same thing via script files. Flashing the radio & bootloader & updating the rest archive
so this is what I've done
I've manually flashed every file needed for the factory image from google.
I also tried wugfresh tool kit which is great but didn't help me much. I flashed stock recovery and treid to boot into to and nothing. I flashed a customer recovery and nothing.
It always does the same thing
the screen that says my phone can't be checked for corruption and then the google sign comes up stays on for a couple seconds and then it bootloops to the can't be checked for corruption.
I try to get into recovery using fastboot commands and the phone does the same exact thing.
I was even able to lock and relock the bootloader and I was able to successfully flash everything at least that is what it showed on the computer
so ive read almost every thread that had to do with bricking and I feel like an expert now but im starting to think it is done =/

Hey there. First off make sure to unlock again your bootloader. Then you may follow post # 10 of @Heisenberg 's flashing guide for our device.
First images to flash would be bootloader and radio. First flash bootloader, then make sure to issue the command adb reboot-bootloader. Then afterwards once the phone has rebooted back to bootloader, flash radio, then again do the adb reboot-bootloader again.
Once the phone is again back to bootloader flash the rest of the images except userdata. For the boot.img and recovery.img, flash the stock ones-don't use the decrypted boot.img and don't flash the twrp.img yet. Once all necessary images have been flashed issue the reboot-booloater command one more time, then on the bootloader screen choose the reboot option. Wait anywhere from 3-10 minutes for the phone to load. Let us know how it goes for you.

Hello and thank you for helping.
I tried this method a couple of minutes ago. I flashed them this same way
fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img
It does the same exact thing it will try and restart the phone, the message that says it can't be checked for corruption the google logo comes up and it repeats it self non stop.
This is what doesn't make sense to me.
This is the file that I had flashed through twrp when it was working fine

This is weird. What version of the stock factory images did you flash? I've been using leviticus 1.3 since it came out and when i was still on stock rom. I switched over to cm builds and have been flashing every nightly since the 7/24th build, and in the process repeatesly reflashing the aound mod along, and i've had zero issues with the phone booting afterwards.
A2017U, my second Android phone (previously had a OnePlus One, which I rooted). I have a Mac, so all the Windows and Linux tools for the Axon 7 have failed me, even with Windows in a virtual machine.
Followed these instructions and got to the point of fastboot oem unlock -> B20 again. Still not rooted. No OTA available.
Then I saw this thread but can't figure out how to flash TWRP to replace the stock recovery.
I've spent a whole day on this effort, including hours following links through threads to find files, and still no root. Can anyone please explain what to do next, in simple terms and with direct links to files?

Replied to you in the original thread.
If you already did "fastboot oem unlock", then your bootloader is unlocked.
Download TWRP, put it into the folder that your Minimal ADB & Fastboot is located in, and then do "fastboot flash recovery whatever-the-TWRP-filename-is.img". In TWRP, flash SuperSU 2.65 to root, or if you're trying to update to B29, flash DrakenFX's B29 SuperStack and System, then SuperSU 2.65.

Thank you, thank you!!!
I did this, and the phone is rooted on B29!
But one strange thing: On every reboot I get a weird boot menu with a message warning me "Your device is unlocker and cann't be trusted"
and boot will proceed in 5 seconds.
Is that normal? Is there any way to get rid of that?

Normal. If you press a volume button during that screen you can choose what you want to boot to (system, recovery, fastboot). Don't know how to get rid of it.

Looks like the same message, complete with the same spelling mistakes, happens on the OnePlus 3. I wonder who's copying who.
Hi,
don't know if this problem has already occurred before.
I had lineage and TRWP installed on my Axon 7 (EU version) and wanted to go back to the stock a2017g.
Therefore I deleted the ROM and wiped everything with TWRP.
Then I deleted TWRP and now i'm stuck at the the bootloader (which is unlocked), but TWRP seems to be gone.
The main problem is, whenever I try to flash a new stock rom (via recovery), I get the error "signature verification failed" and the process is aborted with no change to the system whatsoever.
Is there anything I can do at this point or is my phone practically dead?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try to boot into bootloader interface, and issue command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" on your computer( the current working directory should contain the TWRP.img file) . If your bootloader is unlocked, you should see no error of this command. Then press up/down button to select recovery mode. You should see the familiar TWRP again. Good luck!

Hi,
don't know if this problem has already occurred before.
I had lineage and TRWP installed on my Axon 7 (EU version) and wanted to go back to the stock a2017g.
Therefore I deleted the ROM and wiped everything with TWRP.
Then I deleted TWRP and now i'm stuck at the the bootloader (which is unlocked), but TWRP seems to be gone.
The main problem is, whenever I try to flash a new stock rom (via recovery), I get the error "signature verification failed" and the process is aborted with no change to the system whatsoever.
Is there anything I can do at this point or is my phone practically dead?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you try flashing an official full zip, like B10? That's another thing you can try, since you're going to lose TWRP after you flash a stock rom anyways
If you dont have recovery, flash it from edl mode, you can flash twrp or stock.
Once you install it, performa a full wipe from stock recovery, and flash a full zip.
I have similar problems, I dont loose recovery, but stock dont boot after coming back from aosp, a factory reset did the job. I think is because different filesystems in data partition

Hi, the B10 ROM from the ZTE homepage did the trick.
Worked out nicely.
Thank you so much.
One final question remains for myself: How can I relock the bootloader (so that the 5 second screen won't show up at the start).
Tried different ways with adb and fastload, but nothing seemed to have an effect here.
So what to do?
Thank you again for your help.

you shouldn't. Fastboot should do the trick, by doing fastboot oem lock, but many people reported bricking and bad stuff...
Actually that screen comes very handy in case of a brick or if you want to enter a specific mode.l, you just select the mode and voila
Do you have fastboot? I don't know if B10 still has it, but 7.0 hasn't got it

Hi,
I tried adb and fastboot via pc and with the axon toolkit.
The adb worked fine, but no sign of effect by the fastboot commands.
So I guess I don't have it.
Is there any other solution to at least bypass the 5 second screen?
Thanks

Lol fastboot is not something like EDL, it looks similar to the 5 sec screen...
When you get the 5 sec screen, use the vol keys and pwr to get to the Fastboot option and enter - it should reboot and get to fastboot after some time
You should look up what fastboot, EDL, ADB and DFU are before doing all this stuff - you can mess up badly, and by not knowing you're complicating everything - my explanation and your understanding
Alright so where i'm at now is basically the aftermath of a failed attempt to install a cyanogen unofficial rom for my phone.
I have a p9 lite VNS-L23 dual sim and well basically, i unlocked the bootloader and i rooted it with twrp and installed superuser using the srk tool. Everything worked fine up to this point until i booted into recovery, cleared cache and data etc to do a clean install and the install failed with an error code 7.
I thought doing a twrp backup before the flash was effective but because it didnt take any length of time, i sort of thought it definitely wasnt a full backup but i didnt pay it any attention and tried to flash it anyway since iv'e never had probs flashing anything with other of the phones ive had before which was my main mistake.
Usb debugging was enabled before trying to flash. I thought it failed because i didnt change my file system but i had no idea how to do that so i avoided it and tried to install a newer version of twrp to see if the rom would work with the updated version instead. When flashing the twrp img file, it asked where i wanted to install and i think i selected bootloader instead of boot cause there were only 2 options.
After than finished and i chose to restart in recovery, recovery never loaded. I was getting erecovery but that couldnt help me either. I was just stuck with no os and a phone stuck on the bootscreen. I tried to unbrick my phone by installing the update file for the international version firmware which i downloaded which was the only one not to fail after trying 2 others before it before realizing the error i was making. I read online that it would restore my phone back to ofw and that was great considering i had no os installed. Now, after the update, i think i reached like 100% then it went blank. I tried to wait a couple seconds to see if it was rebooting but nothing happened. tried all button combinations with and without the charger for varying lengths of time but no luck. I hear a sound when its connected to my laptop tho so idk if that matters. Its a bit frustrating right now and i have no clue how to fix this problem and i havent even had the phone for a long time. If someone. anyone can help me, id more than appreciate it
So far, nothing is responding to anything. No lights, no vibrations and i dont see anything when it conencts to my laptop, my laptop just makes the connected sound. I see Fastboot 2.0 detected but the srk tool cannot detect any emulators or devices :/ im so depressed at this point. More or less just bought the ****.
Sounds bad, try using the dload method and if that doesn't work you are ******.
What is the output of "fastboot devices"

its the dload method that has me in this mess. It didnt reboot from the upgrade and since then i think ive been in fastboot mode. I get a response with the fastboot devices cmd and i manage to flash the boot, recovery and system of the stock firmware but still no luck. Think my only option is to use dc phoenix but i cant buy credits for that

Have you tried flashing MM with dload?

not getting to the upgrade screen with dload, the phone restarts but nothing on screen. I can use fastboot only to flash and unlock bootloader, check specifications but thats it. I flashed the stock image which is mm thru fastboot but no luck. I read that i might wait for my battery to drain since my battery isnt rly made to be removable. Can i still use dload without any on screen response?
Have you also tried flashing vendor, cust ... partitions ?

Fastboot doesnt flash certain img's such as xloader etc, no vendor img included inside the update but i doubt i'd be able to flash it anyway, but i flashed everything i was allowed to incl. cust, boot, recovery, system, cache, . Everything else is giving error: command not allowed. I've hit a brick wall so far til my battery drains or i take it to a repair shop which is i guess, last resort. Can't seem to find help anywhere on the internet, nothing returns anything to the screen.
Looks like a hard brick, take it to an official repair shop. But remember: unlocking the bootlader does NOT void the warranty.
