TWRP hangs - no menu, no fastboot, no edl possible... - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Today i tried to flash RR on my Axon 2017G.
So i wiped the partitions mentioned in the instructions, and i tried to change the filesystem. Suddenly got a shutdown, and after that the TWRP starts until the strartscreen. Not more...
I can connect with adb, can see "recovery", but no reaction on "reboot to edl".
The other way i can boot with all three buttons, and then i reach a menu with bold red "recovery mode", that i can change to "Start" (green), "Start bootloader" (in red, and choosing that leads me back to even this menu), and "Power off" (white).
Below that is "Fastboot mode" (little text, red).
But using fastboot mode only says "waiting for device"...
So: Is there a way to get into edl mode to flash recovery again?
Or can i use it as a doorblocker?

The 'bold red recovery mode text' mode that you described is Bootloader mode (or fastboot mode). It's really weird that you have it. Did you have Android 6 before messing up?
You can try to put a TWRP 3.1.1-0 img on the folder where you have fastboot, then get to that 'Fastboot mode' that made your phone say 'waiting for device'then fire up CMD and write 'fastboot boot TWRP' and hit Tab, if the name appears right hit Enter and it shouls boot a TWRP image on your phone (NOT the one you have installed)

[Q] Recovery Flash Problem

Now when i Press Home+Power it wont give me the recovery just normal boot.
BTW: My fastboot is via volume up + Search button + Power is this okay?
fastboot on the GT540 is CAMERA+POWER BUTTON
are you sure you are in Fastboot mode when you send the comand through adb??
later, in fastboot, when it starts rebooting, as soon as you see the screen turning on, press and hold HOME+POWER

Well Fastboot aint via Cam+ Power at me. It is Volume up + search button + Power it says Cleary FASTBOOT MODE on screen. Yes i am on fastboot mode on it.
Thats exactly what i did but still
as far as I know, fastboot mode is just a light black screen
what rom are you using??
Well at me it says Fastboot mode
and i am using: http://www.mediafire.com/?y7q20212djy40ap
2.1 Fastboot europe
That's the Europe rom from the FAQ, right?
If that's correct, I can confirm that (at least in mine) the fastboot screen is just a dark empty one
The only mode that I've seen with a description message (beside moded ones like Clockwork) is the Download Mode, wich I think is Volume Down + Power
Maybe yours has Recovery in a different keys combination, just like it does fastboot
What do you want to boot into recovery for??

Stuck on installing TWRP

Hello and thanks in advance to everyone,
I am trying to root my moto g4 but I am stuck on installing a recovery. I did unlock the bootloader and when I turn on the phone i am greeted with"this device is unlocked and can't be trusted"
Yet when i try to flash the recovery it states that it failed to install since the package is unsigned:

Re-entering my unlock code also does not work as it gives me this message:

...
(bootloader) invalid boot state
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: -0.000s
Does someone have any idea on what the issue is, am I missing something?
Thank you in advance!
Twrp is for motog4 plus aka athene. Make sure your device is the same.
Just reboot to recovery after you flash twrp using fast boot. Do not reboot your device to your home screen as your recovery partition will be rewritten with the stock recovery.
Do not worry about the message. It doesn't say that flashing failed. It only gives you a warning that it's not signed. That message is displayed even if you flash the stock recovery using fast boot.

If you're getting a screen with 'no command', that's the stock recovery on your device.
Are you rebooting to the recovery straight after flashing TWRP? Do you have an unlocked bootloader and what version of TWRP are you flashing? What commands are you using to flash?
You may wish to try booting with TWRP first:
1)On a device with an unlocked bootloader, boot to the bootloader screen.
2)Connect your device to your computer via a high quality USB data cable or the original USB cable.
3)Ensure your TWRP image is copied to your ADB folder.
4)Open an ADB terminal. Verify your device is communicating with your computer by typing 'fastboot devices' without quotes. Press Enter. You should get a serial number response.
5)If so, then type 'fastboot boot twrp.img' without quotes. Replace twrp.img with the actual full file name of your TWRP image in your ADB folder including the file extension. For example, if your TWRP image file name is shreps_twrp_3_1_1.img, the full command would be fastboot boot shreps_twrp_3_1_1.img You can type the first few letters of the file name and press Tab on your keyboard to automatically complete the file name if you so wish.
6)Press Enter, and your device should download TWRP and boot to TWRP.

Root, Downgrade and install TWRP

For the last week I have been trying to root and install TWRP on my Huawei p8 Lite ALE21. Sofar every attempt has failed.
Steps taken:
Get Bootloader Code
Unlock bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock"
Flash TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Result:
When booting into recovery the default "Huawei eRecovery" opens, not TWRP
No app can detect root
Additional info:
TWRP form here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/testing-twrp-2-8-7-x-huawei-p8lite-qcom-t3187758
Trying to debug the problem, I entered
Code:
fastboot getvar all
this returned
Code:
getvar:all FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Additional I have tried to downgrade to android 5.0 again, but after copying the Firmware to the "dload" folder and holding the Volume-Up and Down and Power buttons, the phone wouldn't do anything but show the huawei logo and turn off.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thank you in advance,

You need twrp 3.0.2 for B5xx, i was thinking you had the right one (2.8.7 works on kk and maybe lollipop), so here you are: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/twrp-3-0-0-0-p8-lite-kirin-t3343320

Can't boot in twrp

Hi, i'm trying to root my redmi note 7 so first i need to boot in twrp in order to root my phone.
My problem is that i can't enter twrp:
I've unlocked bootloader and installed adb + enabled usb debugging. Then, i enter fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), i flash the recovery with twrp img, which works fine
C:\Users\Ailiganon\Desktop\redmi note 7 root tool\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.410s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.452s]
Finished. Total time: 1.928s
But then, when i want to enter twrp using VolumeUp+Power button, it simply boots the phone normally !!!
I've also tried using this command when in fastboot: fastboot boot twrp.img but it does nothing although in CMD, it shows the command worked fine:
C:\Users\Ailiganon\Desktop\redmi note 7 root tool\platform-tools>fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.392s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.133s]
Finished. Total time: 1.584s
I can access recovery mode when i turn off my phone and simply use VolumeUp+Power button (not from fastboot) but since Xiaomi overwrites the recovery mode everytime it reboots, it just enters the regular redmi recovery menu and not twrp. Idk what to do else
I've used the twrp img from this video: www youtube com watch?v=r3R9kiBIx34 (i can't post url >.<) and i've tried another one on another website, but i think it was the same one since they had the same size.
Hope someone can help me ty

I've unpacked orangefox, flash recovery.img in fastboot mode, and then i held the recovery buttons, but yet again, it just boots the phone and it's even worse cause it prompts me a password to access android that i dont fkin know. So i've had to reset the phone using "fastboot format userdata" command. I did it twice cause the first time i had a schema to unlock the phone so i've put a password instead but the second time it prompted me the password, i've put the password i've chosen to unlock the phone but it said "wrong password". So i don't know what password they ask, and i dont know why it appears only after flashing orange fox....
I've also tried with the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" with the same result as earlier

LG h918 in bootloop with only fastboot available. Help!

Hi All,
I just followed the instructions to root my h918 and then successfully updated to h91820h. I then used the TWRP app to flash twrp, and the Magisk app to update Magisk. After that I rebooted from the Magisk app, and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I cannot get into download mode, or recovery mode, or the system. I can get into fastboot mode by trying to go into download mode (holding the volume down and plugginto a USB port ot the laptop.
It seems that T-mobile removed any commands from fastboot that will help me. If I try to "fastboot reboot emergency", it just bootloops. If I try fastboot boot a twrp image, I get:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-1-h918.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.667s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.686s
The command "fastboot reboot bootloader" boots to fastboot. The bootloader is indeed unlocked, but it looks like I'm stuck, because the LG fastboot doesn't allow anything to fix the brick.
Code:
$ fastboot getvar unlocked
unlocked: yes
finished. total time: 0.020s
I'm not finding any hope or help on Google. It seems if I can't boot into twrp or download mode, I'm toast, and I can't figure out how to boot into anything but the bootloader.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to bring this phone back from the dead?
Thanks,
Rob

im having the same problem, i dont have download more or twrp now, all i have is fastboot
i am going to assume going into download mode through fastboot is the only option for the two people posting for help here. from what i see from the posts, both hardware buttons sequence , or the plug in & down volume are the ONLY way to get to fast boot.
and fast boot is the only thing available on the phone.
i have labeled that a soft brick .
i asume one of the two help seekers have used the magisk 20.2 trap?
the release proved to be a problem , there is a tutorial on how to fix it.
i will go look for that and try to edit it into my responce later.
for now, are the two seekers already acomplished in this procedure?

ok i found a way to get into twrp (if ever installed)
1- turn off your phone
2- hold Volume Down + Power button until you see the LG logo
3- When you see the Logo release the power button while still holding the volume down and immediately after release press power button 3 times.
4- you will see a factory reset screen, press yes twice and it will go to twrp.
NOW WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO FLASH A WORKING ROM THRU TWRP
