I recently received my US version M3 - 64GB W09. I've since successfully unlocked it and now trying to get TWRP loaded. I downloaded the greatslon TWRP for US models referenced in this thread (twrp-m3-us-greatslon) and did a fastboot flash that seemingly completed successfully. Every time I try to boot to recovery however (power + vol up), I get to the Huawei eRecovery, not TWRP.
Is there something Im missing here?
Thanks!
I believe to use the up button you would flash TWRP to recovery2.
Have you tried holding down when booting?
Vol down boots to the bootloader. I did finally find a couple other ways to boot to TWRP. adb reboot recovery and the "Recovery Reboot" app from the Play store both boot to TWRP.

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
I was dumb and tried installing TWRP recovery for the U.S. version of the S7E snapdragon. I nearly bricked my phone, but I was able to restore the original bootloader and firmware. However, afterwards I found out that I can't get into recovery mode when booting up (Power + Home + Volume Up). The only way I can get to recovery is by connecting via ADB when the phone has fully rebooted and commanding "adb reboot recovery".
Does anyone have any ideas about how to restore the shortcut to recovery when booting?
i recently purchased a refurbished Indian G5 Plus. I followed the unlocking tutorial and it seemed like the bootloader was unlocked properly. I do get a warning saying the device is unlocked when trying to boot up, but it also says "ID : bad key" which was a little unsettling. I tried flashing twrp.img using fastboot and that too seemed to work (th eprocess completed saying "Okay"). However, when I try to go to recovery from the fastboot screen, I end up in a screen saying no command and pressing vol up+ pwr takes me to what I assume is the stock recovery. What should I do to be able to flash twrp?
Solved it myself. I had to flash the recovery again and boot directly into it. Booting into system first is what caused the problem.

How do you solve it. I can't flash twrp recovery on my moto g5 plus. It says FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error)) every time I flash twrp recvery. I have tried different version of twrp. And my device says bad key when it boots up. Please give me a detail solution
So i wanted to finally install custom ROM on my LG G6 H870, needed twrp... obv, followed all the instructions:
adb devices - showed my device all was good
2nd: adb reboot bootloader
3rd: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
4th: fastboot reboot + holding volume down and power button, on logo released power button and pressed it down again, finally got to factory data reset 2 YES options and saw the Teamwin bootup logo, but then phone just booted up normally...
5th: Tried to open recovery once more, but then it did regular Data erease.
What could be wrong?

I had exactly same problem when I did this = only Teamwin bootup logo and then boot into android (I hope your bootloader is unlocked first).
Solution was you have to use TWRP 3.1.1-0 and u get into recovery. I tried more versions of TWRP (3.2.1-0 , 3.2.2-0 , 3.2.3-0) but ONLY 3.1.1-0 works and I dont know why.
Anyway I got another issue after because I didn't want to install root yet (first I wanted to backup).
An issue was I got into restarting loop by installing no-verity-opt-encrypt 6.0 which should be a solution for boot into android without losing TWRP (considering to one walkthrough I found).
I was lost for a while but I found a solution = install another boot.img (in my case I installed one dm-verity or dm-verity & forceencrypt zip file - btw what is a difference between them?).
Oh wow.. Well thanks, ill try your solution as soon as i get time. Bootloader is unlocked indeed, used latest twrp. I'll try 3.1.1-0.
@ Razexay
that happened to me also with Official TWRP take that from Eliminater74 that's where backup and encryption work with dm-verity & forceencrypt look here in the forum everything is well described

Hello! I have unlocked the bootloader but haven't installed any custom rom and haven't given root yet. After flashing TWRP via "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0-0-h870.img" and booting into recovery via "fastboot reboot", pressing voldown+power and confirming factory reset, the TWRP logo shows for a few seconds and then the device normally boots without starting TWRP.
fixed by using this unofficial twrp - https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/twrp-t3828254
