Try flashing twrp.

Oh... That's was my dying HDD fault. When write sometimes don't working. I noticed that recovery file is form year ago although I overwritten this file with a new one. It didn't worked because i flashed wrong recovery file.

Can't boot into recovery using vol down+power but can boot normally

Hi,
I can't boot into recovery using vol down+power but I can boot normally into OS and from there I can boot into recovery through ADB or third party apps.
I was trying to update my OP2 with new OxygenOS 3.0.2. As my device was rooted so I had to do it manually using TWRP. Till now I was able to boot into recovery by vol down+power.
Before flashing I wiped everything(dalvik+cache+system+data), rebooted into recovery and flashed the OOS3.0.2 full ROM. At this point the installation was successfull but I was not able to boot the OS, it was stuck on the loading screen. After several attempts to boot OS, I finally tried to boot into recovery to flash again, but I was unable to. When I press vol down+power for few sec, the phone switches off with a vibration.
Later I found out that I was supposed to use a modified TWRP. So I flashed the modified TWRP via fastboot and flashed the OOS3.0.2 full ROM again, Now I can boot into OS normally but still I cannot boot into recovery by vol down+power. But the interesting thing is that I can boot into recovery through ADB or third party apps.
I tried flashing the TWRP recovery again with no luck. I thought this could be a problem with boot.img which is contained in ROM itself so I also flashed the ROM again with no luck. Also I am absolutely sure that this is not a hardware issue with by volume buttons as I can use them properly when I boot into OS.
A quick thought, is it possible that the boot.img of the ROM itself is broken? Seems unlikely as I am not seeing anyone else having this issue. But if it is, is it ok to flash the boot.img from OOS2.x version ROM, will that be compatible? Just wanted to be sure before doing this.
Any other thoughts are welcome.
Are you used this command for flashing twrp??
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should add "flash", otherwise it won't install twrp in your mobile
yes I used that command only

After flash recovery use this command it will help to boot in twrp "fastboot boot recovery.img " without quotes
yes I know that, thats how I booted into recovery from fastboot for flashing the ROM. But I should be able to boot into recovery by vol down+power. That is why I posted this question.
Will you please send me screenshot of cmd?? after flash recover

[zenfone z00ed] can't load invalid boot image

Hello, i have a problem with this device zenfone z00ed. When i turn on i saw the procedure of upgrade, but stuck ad 24%. So i try to go to recovery mode but not work, only in fastboot. I try to push recovery image or boot but i get error (seems is not signed). However i have a idea (maybe bad idea) i reset all with fastboot -w.
After it i try to turn on, but i have bootloop with logo asus. So i found the right recovery image, and i go to recovery for push via adb the file http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.73637138.1491728547.1480409858
But not work , so i copy the file into the microsd and the phone installed the firmware , after it i get the error : can't load invalid boot image
What can i do?
Flash the .43 recovery image then go to stock recovery and try to update from SD card the .44 version from your link.
And make sure your file isn't corrupted.
Thanks for reply. Well i try as you tell me. I used another microSD. So i downloaded the .43 on the web site. Put into the microSD and into the phone. Hard reset and installed the new update file. Reboot. ... Same problem. Hard reset. Same problem. I used another more old update zip from the website. Same problem. Maybe i Need to flash another file? Is strange that problem. The boot-loader isn unlock (however)
How did yout flash the recovery and boot image?
Recovery im sure..like fastboot flash recovery recovery.img...
However.. i follow another istruction to fastboot with twrp (not flash) so i unlocked the boot-loader. After if the phone reboot and automatically works. For now.
Atleast you can use your phone now
Use adb sideload via asus recovery

P9 Lite softbricked

Hey guys!
My Hardware:
Huawei VNS-L21
Windows PC
I've flashed the oeminfo of a Huawei VNS-L31 on my VNS-L21 (followed this guide: http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=23861935&postcount=2) and after that, I've installed B100 rom via DLOAD-Method. Everything worked fine. Then I wantet to upgrade to Nougat (B336), so I downloaded the ROM and the L31 Data (because I've previously flashed the oeminfo of a VNS-L31, mentioned before). I've done that in the Revolution recovery b. 8. Flashing the main system worked fine, but flashing the data failed. I don't know why (maybe I didn't have enugh patience) but I rebootet anyway. Now I have the problem that I can neither boot to the system nor boot to recovery. However, I am able to access fastboot and I am able to flash recovery, system, cust and boot. I've tried flashing the B336 rom via fastboot (flashing system.img, boot.img, recovery and recovery2 from the extracted firmware and cust.img from the extracted data folder), but I'm still not able to boot. My phone is stuck in the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen as seen in the attachment. I've tried meticulu's twrp and revolution recovery, they also fail to boot (I also get to the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen.)
Hopefully you can help me.
Best regards,
- 4240 Benny

Doesn't work, I've tried that several times
Try to get a recovery running.
So try to flash different recoveries (Meticulus TWRP or Revolution Recovery) with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery *.img)
Flashing N recovery like this *should* work.
Report back then for next steps.

I've tried Revolution recovery and meticulu's TWRP, both don't seem to work. When I try to boot to recovery I do get the "Your device has been unlocked.." screen...

No Reboot After TWRP Flash

Hello, i had a lot of troubles with battery drains recently, by curiosity i wanted to restore my stock backup.
So i did and the phone was stuck during rom boot.
So i wanted to go back to TWRP to fix things but instead it went back to stock recovery.
Okay, so i wanted to flash TWRP again but after flashing the recovery.img,
nothing happens when i enter fastboot reboot
I forced shutdown and re tried many times with other twrp files, always the same issue i cannot reboot with the flashed recovery ! ! !
please HELP :angel:
To boot to recovery, shut down the phone, press volume up + power button, when the phone vibrate release the buttons and it will boot to recovery.
The command "fastboot reboot" will just reboot normally the phone.
sorry but my problem is that i cannot reboot in twrp anymore, it always reboot on STOCK recovery !
dunno what to do i got to meet foreign customers tomorrow without my phone i dunno how i'll do, so unlucky it happened to me today
i even tried flashing on another computer, and trying to restore with stock recovery or huawei app but none are working.
to make it clear, i can just fastboot.
so what should i flash to restore/unbrick my phone ? don't care if i lose data, just need to call tomorrow !
edit: some folks say to put update.app in load folder on sd card then boot with the three buttons but which update.app file should i copy ? i got a VNS-L31 should the SD card be in FAT32 ?
Are you sure you flashed TWRP? Try to download it again and flash it from fastboot mode.
yes sure i did it like 20 times this afternoon, i'm trying to fix it for 5 hours lol
in fact i just was able to boot the restore .app while booting with the three buttons, it's installing updates, hope it will fix all the partitions/recovery/boot/system... and all those necessary stuffs
edit: finally huawei animated boot logo is showing UP !
On which firmware are you and which TWRP did you tried?

i was using meticulous TWRP v3 and some of his builds for several months and i had trouble with those roms.
so i restored my stock backup and everything was not working anymore, each i tried flashing it always went back on stock recovery a every reboot, impossible to flash twrp anymore...
looks like the phone is stuck in a boot loop lol pfffft
edit:
FYI what i just tried is restoring this image http://consumer.huawei.com/lk/support/products/downloads/huawei-p9-lite-lk.htm (the first one ASIA) but the phone is still booting looks like a fail, could it be incompatible ?
I see.
If you managed to restore with the update.app and the 3 buttons, everything should be fine. It will take some time to boot up, so just wait for a while. Also the bootloader probably re-locked so you will need to unlock it again.

it can relock ? i will check !
if it does not work should i fast boot flash system.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and boot.img ?
I think the best thing to do should be a factory reset from recovery, stock is fine, then reboot and wait for 15-20 minutes. If the update.app succefully installed there should be no problem

If you don't have to option to factory reset then you must be on eRecovery

Can only boot to bootloader

So I unlocked my bootloader on my Huawei P8lite ALE-L21 yesterday and flashed twrp recovery. Trough twrp I tried to root the phone by flashing.. It sort of failed and I got into a bootloop.. Then I tried to get out of the boot loop by trying methods I found online. Other's did nothing so I tried to flash boot, recovery, system images.. Now it won't get in a boot loop but I get the huawei logo for 3 seconds and the phone turns off. I can only boot in bootloader.. Is there any way I could still make it work or is it completely lost now?
Update: I flashed Boot.img and recovery.img again and now im stuck at the point where huawei logo appears, but not turning off phone. I am also able to get to recovery now.
Update2: I flashed a different system.img now and suddendly the phone started working.. Problem solved I guess.
