Can't boot into recovery

My phone is unlocked and I had installed TWRP. I restored from previous backup because I was not satisfied with latest global developer ROM. after restoring I am not able to reboot into recovery. when I boot into recovery, my phone starts normally without going into recovery. i tried flashing twrp again and it works only once. phone boots normally without going into recovery. i have to flash twrp everytime i need to use recovery. any solutions?

Do you confirm the thing TWRP asks you on first boot (something about allowing system modifications or what)? Otherwise system may remove it on boot. Do you use command 'fastboot boot 'recoveryname'' after flashing (I don't know why is it necessary, but it's in every guide for R3S)?

Make sure 'OEM unlocking' is checked in developers mode.

Pwr + vol+ + vol- until it vibrates, then release pwr, but keep both vol-keys pressed.

Another option is adb: Use "adb reboot recovery". If you don't know how, ask me!

How to root Honor 8 Lite PRA-LA1 Android 7.0

Hi
After successfully unlock bootloader i am not able to root Honor 8 Lite PRA-LA1 Android 7.0 with xposed tools because in recovery mod there is no option for install zip files.
How i can root .?

I wonder the same

I tried "adb reboot bootloader", but when tried "fastboot oem unlock", I got "failed, password wrong".
I unlocked bootloader http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download and Open road to root....

However is not sense, because will deleted all you stock apps (include keyboard), include Google app and Google Play. For this model NOT PRESENT AND probably WILL NO any stock firmware or recovery! Will every boot "Unlocked and not thrusted", and if try flash this recovery (https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor8.html), you got soft-brick (will available bootloader).
If you tried, probably you have no any chance....
Type "fastboot oem relock" with gotten early password, but you anyways will have no Google Play and keyboard.... For full worked firmware you anyways have no chances.
And... RIP finally, not possible even to bootloader.

I waiting when battery fully lost of charge.... Probably will chance to enter to bootloader.

I partially restored firmware...

[working & tested] unbrick bnd-l24

Many users on this forum have a bricked Honor 7X (BND-L24 variant) and haven't found a working guide to breath life back into their devices. Fortunately, I found a method that appears to have fixed my BND-L24 that was running on oreo. Maybe it will work for you too. Nougat users, feel free to try this method on your devices. Just know that I am not responsible for any damage or anything else should your bricked-phone-situation go from bad to worse.
********REQUIREMENTS********
1. microSD card ---> You need one of those adapter things to access the microSD card on your computer. We're going to be moving files to this little guy.
2. TWRP recovery --> We're going to be flashing a zip so stock recovery won't work here. Don't worry, once we flash the zip, TWRP will be gone
3. HuRUpdater_0.3.zip --> I know there is a HuRUpdater_0.2.zip too but I used HuRUpdater_0.3.zip when I unbricked mine so . . . that's what we're gonna use. You can download it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 Don't forget to thank the developer!
********STEPS********
1. First things first. Download these three files:
update.zip
update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
2. Once downloaded, rename them as listed here. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL
update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip -----> update_all_hw.zip
update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_data_public.zip
DO NOT RENAME update.zip
3. Make a folder on the microSD card. You can name it whatever you would like. For the purposes of this guide, I named mine "Recovery". Move all four of the zips (or archives, whatever you wanna call them) that you downloaded to this new "Recovery" folder. Then eject the microSD card.
4. Insert the microSD card into your paperweight, I mean bricked Honor 7X. Then boot into TWRP.
5. In TWRP, tap on "Install". Then browse to your external SD card and tap on "HuRUpdater_0.3.zip". Swipe to flash it.
6. Once everything finishes installing, tap on "Reboot" then "System" (I have no idea why you would want to install the TWRP app if you don't have TWRP anymore but . . . to every man his own). When the unlocked-bootloader-warning screen pops up, press and hold the volume up button to boot into eRecovery. Perform a factory reset from there.
7. After the factory reset is completed, say hello to your now fully functional device.

Giving this a try right now. Will report back. Thank you so much!

After flashing HuRUpdater_0.3.zip and holding volume up, it just boots back into TWRP?
Edit: Never mind, I'm dumb and didn't press volume down during the flash.
---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------
IT WORKED! Thanks so much!!!!!
One error in your directions though:
update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_full_public.zip
should be
update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_data_public.zip

Download HWOTA8. After you extract it there is a twrp image in it. There is also a stock recovery image in it incase something goes wrong. There is a thread here on twrp. You will come across a twrp image by sudeep. You can use it too. Although it didn't work perfectly for me. Use adb or multitool to flash them

my phone is bricked... thus the bootloader is locked... i cant flash to it.

Bricked as in display won't turn on?

when i turn it on, it comes up to erecovery, "download latest version and recovery" will connect to wifi but fail to download. Multi-Tool says bootloader is locked as well.

Try to use the service rom.
The erecovery thing does not work, exceptaybe on Chinese version of rom, it seems

Thank you so much! I have tried every other method on this forum over the past few months and wasted countless hours. I could not get ANY other method to work. This worked perfectly the very first time. Thanks!!!

Not sure what you mean by use the service rom... I can't flash the ROM because the bootloader is locked.

The service rom does not need unlocked bootloader.
You do need your unlock code though.
Service rom BND-L21C432
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.

Is there still a way to get the code? I haven't been able to get it

****, I ****ed it up.
Started installing the file without first renaming. TWRP is gone and now I have no way install those files. bootloader is "soft" locked and I'm ****ed...

There is an option to use bnd-l21 service rom. Which will allow you to boot and unlock bootloader again. Then start over with hurupdater.

I got some errors when running the Hur Updater
I'm currently redownloading the files hoping there were download incorrectly the first time or something...

I finally got it working, but I can't install updates. Anyone else have this issue?

I need help
First, I did something and now when it boots it doesn't show the honor logo but it shows the huawei logo and can't progress farther (I swear I didn't try to install another OS)
Second, I can't access twrp but can access fastboot. I have downloaded twrp and was able to access it before I messed up even more to the point that it doesn't show the honor logo
In the fastboot screen, it says PHONE Relocked but when I type in fastboot oem get-info in the terminal of my computer with my honor 7x connected to it and fastboot screen it says (bootloader) unlocked ,so I'm not sure if the bootloader is actually locked or unlocked
So what I'm not sure about is what can I do to access TWRP. I tried installing it again but it didn't work either user error or it's just not possible to
All your help will be very appreciated because I don't have money to get another phone
i really shouldn't have done any of this knowing that I don't have money to get another phone
edit:
I don't think the OEM is unlocked like the thingy from the developer options because I don't see FRP in fastboot screen, just PHONE Relocked

thank you so much for this. I was able to downgrade and read my code to unlock.

Semi Bricked Mate 8 :(

Hello hope someone can help please have been trawling forums for a week now without getting anywhere.
I was running nxt-l29c636???? tried to upgrade via app firmware finder, first two I picked just failed then I picked older one thinking I might need to go from android 6 to 7 then to 8
Now it's stuck in a loop.
The firmware I picked looked like it was installing but failed early on 1 or 2 %
I can get to erecovery - does nothing and I've tried copying update.app to SD card and holding three button method but it does nothing.
When I fastboot it and rescue mode my phone status is locked.
Anyone know how I can recover please?
Ideally just want to flash it and if so it'd be great if it was android 8
Thanks for looking

ok so I've been looking all night on internet and trying various things but it seems as my phone is locked I can't use fastboot or adb (it gives command not allowed with fast boot)
but does at least communicate with (fastboot devices)
does this mean I need to root my phone first?
How do I do this please?

unfortunatly huawei no longer support to unlock the bootloader and there is no free method to do this
there is other methods to restore your device and unlock your bootloader but it will cost you money you can try somthing like dc unlocker or you can go to the repair centers

ok so I bought DC Phoenix which is a great program and done online chat too which was very helpful and managed to flash a stock ROM. BUT when it wanted step 2 (the phone to be put in upgrade mode) wasn't sure it was going to do this for me or it wanted me to do this, but either way I cannot get the phone into upgrade mode by holding the volume up and volume down key + power
it just power cycles or keep the huawei logo on the screen and eventually gives options like factory default and wipe cache etc.
Decided to flash it in advanced mode with DC phoenix and it claims successful and doesn't ask for upgrade mode but now booting the phone gives#
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly
(1) Press power key to continue - tried and just reboots to the same
(2) Press Volume Up key up to 3 seconds to enter recovery to restore your device - does nothing
(3) Your device will stop start if there is no operation
Can still boot into Fastboot mode
I'm stuck, anyone can offer help please?
My phone is Asia firmware NXT-L29C636 so I've used stock that claims to be for that region. but I see if DC Phoenix log a mention of Build number: NXT-C900B170
Model: HUAWEI NXT-L29
Is that what DC Phoenix is detecting that's it just now?

Accidentally locked bootloader and wiped system.

How to reflash stock Rom to Xiaomi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro ? I accidentally locked my phones bootloader, and wiped the system on it. Now it says The system has been destroyed. I tried various recovery methods with no luck. I even opened the back cover and tried test point method with holding the power button more than 15 sec. It gives me the error, saying cannot read hello package. Can't turn on developer options debugging mode since I have no access to system. The phone originally came unlocked with Global rom. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Hi.
I also done the same thing, I had the system is destroyed error, this is because you cannot reflash the ROM using a custom recovery, make sure you have stock recovery and it will work fine, when I messed the system doing this, I used the mi unlock tool again as the bootloader will have been relocked, try this and it should work.

So put the phone into fastboot, apply to unlock the bootloader again and it should work, if you have to wait then there is no other option wait the quoted time, if that goes ok then reboot to fastboot and use XiaomiFlashTool V2 and download your specific ROM.
