I have some important files that I forgot to backup and was suddenly hit by the BLOD.
Is it possible to retrieve files from my device that is stuck on bootloop?
Details:
Device is rooted
I have the ability to run fastboot commands
TWRP not installed
Android version: 7.1.1
I tried to install TWRP using fastboot command and boot into recovery but all it did was restarted the device and continued with the bootloop.
I am able to run fastboot commands and see my device using "fastboot devices".
However when I try running "adb" commands, I get the error "no device/emulators found". Is this normal?
TIA
As long as I know, you can't use ADB commands in bootloader.
To use ADB, you should enter Android os, or at least recovery.
So it's normal that adb doesn't recognize your device in bootloader.

I was on oxygen 3.0.2, so i decided to root my phone, first of all i unlocked my bootloader, but after the install of the root zip file, i got stuck in a bootloop, no way out i can't sideload or mount storage, i can access to recovery and fastboot so.. if u may help me to flash any another rom or just turn back to stock i'll be glad!
recovery: ok
fastboot: ok
no adb

EDIT:
when the device is off, with command "adb devices" says:
<serialnumber> unauthorized

Hello
As menitoned, my phone won't boot into TWRP, it does boot into Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0, can boot into revolutionary recovery, but no, not TWRP... Bootloader is unlocked! Please help
Are you certain it's not booting into TWRP? The reason I ask is I thought I couldn't boot into the custom recovery programme either: it kept loading EMUI, using the phone's buttons. In my case, ver.4.1.1
Have you tried booting via ADB commands? I had reloaded a stock update, then unlocked the bootloader for a second time, only find the same scenario. It wasn't until I tried rebooting with ADB that it actually loaded TWRP.
In case you aren't familiar with the commands. Install ADB Tools, then open a command window from the correct folder location, where ADB tools are installed. To check the PC recognises the device, use:
adb Devices
it should show the device's serial number {I think}. Then:
adb reboot recovery
it should reboot into recovery mode. If TWRP has been installed correctly, it should load into it. Otherwise...I don't have a clue what the issue is. All the best.
I can only boot an twrp img using windows machines. I only have one just for this reason. Can anybody give me insight on how to get it working on my linux machines. ADB and Fastboot are installed on the linux machines and adb works. The phone is recognized in adb and fastboot but when I try to boot a twrp image in fastboot it puts the phone in fastboot mode but the pc hangs at "waiting for any device". I can access all the info on the phone and can write files to the system storage. Just can't get fastboot to work.
Weird: I was just using it normally, it switched off and now it stays stuck on the Google logo; when entering recovery mode, I get TWRP"s splash screen and it stays there, so I cannot even recover.
Suggestions please??
Note 1: I'm pretty bad with this kind of stuff, need step-by-step instructions.
Note 2: rom is AOSP 7.1.2 but I guess is irrelevant, as even TWRP does not load.
Thanks in advance!!
Can you fastboot boot the TWRP recovery?
Hmmm dont know exactly what that means sorry; I mean I havent tried connecting it to the laptop and using thr ADB toolkit, but I can reset via Power+VolDown to the bootloader menu (? the android layind down and giving the option to StartSystem/ SwitchOff/ Restart/ RecoveryMode), and choosing RecoveyMode it tries to launch TWRP (it even shows the logo) but stays there on the splashscreen, doesn't quite manage to give me the TWRP menus
Someone?

let's see... I set in recovery mode, connect to the PC (does not recognise it), and with "fastboot boot twrp.img" it just sends/writes the file, the tab shows the Google logo with open lock, and then tries to launch Twrp, but as before, it just get stuck in the splashscreen "TeamWin Recovery Project 3.3.1.0" , so just the same.
Command "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" the same
Command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" the same
Command "adb devices" returns the list empty
Command "adb reboot recovery" returns "error: no devices / emulators found"
Command "fastboot oem unlock" returns "(bootloader) bootloader is already unlocked"
I tried running a tool called FirstAid (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16684) but does nothing for me
I'm lost, please help
Video and photos of the issue (device, not adb)

Well, looking at your video it seems that there is no bootable ROM installed and also the recovery (for what ever reason) has some issues to start.
The fact, that you are able to boot into bootloader shows that at least it's not completely bricked ... but there's still the chance that the flash memory has some issues.
I would connect the device via usb with a PC and try to do a
fastboot boot <twrp-3.3.1-grouper.img>
to whether in that case the recovery is booting.
If this is successful, the next step would be re-flashing the recovery into the recovery partition and booing into recovery mode from the bootloader.
If this is successful, too, wiping and flashing a new ROM would be the last step.
I unlocked the bootloader, the FRP too.
Now I need to flash the TWRP image with the command "fastboot flash recoery_ramdisk twrp.img" because it is a partition A only.
Those are the steps I take:
1) connect USB the device
2) enable USB debugging
3) adb reboot bootloader
4) the phone boots with the fastboot screen
(it says PHONE unlocked, FRP unlocked)
5) I put the command: "fastboot flash recoery_ramdisk twrp.img" (I have twrp.img in the same folder as the adb)
6) the console gives me <waiting for the device>
I red around a lot, and in a lot of threads even here on XDA it says it's adriver issues, so I isntalled Universal ADB driver, then 15 seconds adb drivers, the n tried to downlowad the Hi Suite but it doesn't even start (I have Win 10)
Additional info:
The boot loader is unlocked, also in the settings (I used potatoNV method)
I have EMUI 5.0.3
Android version 7
Number model PRA-LX1
What to do guys?

Hi There.
change you rcovery image file name to "twrp.img" and move them to c:/ partition.
then enter the command bellow : fastboot flash recovery c:/twrp.img
NOTICE : Of course, I installed twrp custom recovery on my huawei p8 gra-ul00 phone and im very regretted.
And you're doing this at your own risk.
Regards,
