Can't flash any recovery

I've unlocked the bootloader and flashed the Revolution Recovery B9, but I can't mount 'data' , so I modified the partition into F2FS and then formatted it. After that I couldn't enter to system, so I used three buttons to recovery the stock firmware. Now I can't reflash the TWRP and I can't add any goggle account.
What should I do?
Thanks before

What version p9 lite vns- ??
What do you want to install as firmware?
Info. If you wanted to be helped, helped too.

Hi,
have similar issue.
Bought P9Lite, originally on Vodafone UK/IE. VNS-L31C02B120.
Flashed B432 ROM which was OK, although changed to C900. Then I flashed something which was posted as UPDATE.APP. I thought it's an update, but then saw the size, was about 32MB. Since then it boots into Huawei eRecovery, which is uselless as it connect via Wi-Fi but does nothing. I can boot into fastboot/Recovery mode but thats it.
Tried flash Vodafone ROM but it stuck at 5%, no matter what I try to flash. The last when it booted still showed the Vodafone start up logo.
Any help appreciated...
Bootloader locked, no root.

1) Disconnect and power off.
2) Put a stock rom (UPDATE.APP) on SD card in folder dload and put it in the phone. If you have not, create folder "dload"
3) Hold down all 3 hardware buttons for cca. 10 second (Volume+ AND Volume- AND Power) until the phone enters EMUI system update mode and stars update from the SD card.
4) Phone will reboot and you have OS

[help] my phone is hard bricked !!!

I was running B618 on my phone (rooted and tweaked a little bit), A few days ago I realized that I am running an outdated version so I decided to update to B630. I downloaded the update extracted it with HUAWEI UPDATE EXTRACTOR and while extracting I saw there was an option to make flashable zip so I decided to try to flash it through TWRP (my biggest mistake). I restarted phone into recovery mode, wiped everything and flashed the zip and restarted the phone, at restarting TWRP warned me about NO OS INSTALLED but I ignored and restarted and boom.... I was holding a bricked phone, Nothing on screen not a single sign of phone being alive, just notification light blinking red and green when power button is pressed. Googled it on internet and found that it can be fixed through jtag box.
I took my phone to a repairer and he promised me that he can take my phone to fastboot mode by JTAG BOX and further software flashing I will do it myself. After 2 days he called me that your phone is successfully in fastboot mode you can take it. I took the phone from him paid him his fee and came back home, Now my phone was running a very basic version of EMUI 2.0 which was looking like EMUI 3.1 with no apps in it just some testing apps shortcuts and gallery and other basic apps. In about phone section it was showing android version 4.3 and EMUI 2.0 and internal storage was just 450mb.
I restarted into fastboot mode flashed the boot, cust, recovery, system and rebooted the phone and boom..... Once again a bricked phone with just total red screen. I googled and again found nothing, then I saw fastboot log on cmd and the issue was that the phone's eMMC is partitioned at just 450mbs and the 2.26GB system.img file is not able be saved into phone.
Is there a way I can fix this now, Its also not booting into recovery I've tried all the commands, and when I try to format through fastboot it gives an error saying that formatting is not allowed on file system type 0.5
PLEASE IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO FIX THIS PLEASE TELL ME
I WILL BE VERY THANKFUL TO YOU GUYS.

Bootloader locks itself, can't restore via fastboot

Hi,
recently my friend asked me wether I can look at her P8 Lite which wasn't working after beeing left unused for some time. Basically when she got a new phone this P8 was left in box for a few months and after turning it back on the screen included in attachment appeared. https://imgur.com/a/WcvNByN I'm not new when it comes to unlocking bootloaders and all that stuff as I was doing it many times on another devices so I tought it will be easy job. Well, was I wrong... What I tried so far to recover this phone:
1) I obtained all necesary data to get the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. When I want to unlock the bootloader it works but after I reboot the device it goes back to "Locked" state.
2) It does not boot to recovery with buttons combination.
3) It does boot to fastboot but as I said bootloader locks itself down after reboot.
4) I tried to place UPDATE.APP from various firmweares on SD card and update it that way, it takes extremly long but with this metod it boots to some kind of MIUI recovery in which I have 3 options: wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, rebboot system. Depending on firmweare it allows me to wpie cache or/and wipe data but reboot system always fails taking me back to this rescue mode screen.
5) Finally I tried to flash stock rom by extracting files from UPDATE.APP via fastboot. It flashes everything except recovery and boot which gives me fastboot error: "FAILED (remote: flash write prim vrl failure)". Interestingly I can flash TWRP recovery without error but when i try to access it whit buttons combination it fails and goes to rescue mode.
Device was stock and unrooted before this. I'm kind of out of ideas, I searched a lot of topics without any conlusion on this, if anyone could help me I wolud really appreciate this. However I think there is no hope for this phone maybe someone here would be able to help.

Oh no... You should contact Huawei and don't tell them that you tried to unlock the bootloader. Your phone may have a thing named "Huawei eRecovery". Launch it, it will download and flash stock ROM.

That option works only in China . I guess

I had the same error on my Huawei P8 Lite 2017 but I broke it myself.
The only way I was able to fix it by not taking it to a store was to use DC Phoenix,but it costs 20 euros for a 3 day license.
It was worth it though,since it did first of all lock the bootloader again,and it bootlooped at first but then I went to eRecovery and it installed the latest update and booted up.

Samsung J7 Pro Soft Brick after Oreo 8.1 update (no root)

Hi everyone...
Two days ago, and a few hours after installing the 8.1 update, my mom's J7 touchscreen was unresponsive, including the power button. It ran out of battery, and after I restarted it this morning, it goes to recovery mode after it tries installing system update and the No command screen is displayed.
I've searched on the web for hours and hours for solutions but none of them have worked, most probably because it requires the phone to be connected to the PC, and my PC (Windows 10) isn't even seeing the phone via USB (can't use ODIN nor ADB). BTW, the debug option most probably wasn't turned on prior to soft brick.
Phone Info:
SM-J730G J730GDXS5BRK1
No root
Error on recovery screen (the SD card has been taken out):
======================================
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
No Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]
E:unknown volume for path [/vendor]
E:unknown volume for path [/odm]
E:unknown volume for path [/vendor]
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Successfully verified dmverity hash tree
=======================================
Additional info: As I've mentioned, the power button isn't responsive, so I press the volume down button to choose the recovery options. I've tried all recovery options except for:
Wipe data / factory reset, as the phone data isn't backed up (mom doesn't want to lose the personal data as much as possible)
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
All other options are looping back to the recovery screen after installing system update screen.
Lastly, in recovery, there's an option at the bottom that states "Lacking storage booting". I'm sure that would mean something to someone reading this that would help solve the issue.
An OS downgrade or same 8.1 fix is preferred, as long as the phone data is intact. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

Try "Emergency Software Recovery" feature in Samsung Smart Switch for PC.
It could be a hardware issue as well. Clean your USB charging port with a brush and a drop of alcohol. Then dry with a hair drier.

Good evening, have you tried installing the latest version of the firmware by odin?
If not, try this.
probably its touch stopped working after the update because it was not original (already it has been changed) or it can be other cases ..
if you still can not install the newest firmware downloaded from the sammobile site you can do the second procedure.
Such you will find in this same forum.
In it you use the pc miracle box application and downgrade to 7.1.
this is the title of the post.
follow all procedures.
and it will be all right.

PS: Putting it into download mode: Turn the device on by holding the volume down buttons + Home + Power

Thank you. I've tried 3 times now as I am getting stuck at II. Flash TWRP and fix rom. After I flash the nougat rom via TWRP, phone reboots and the logos keep on looping. Either I am doing something wrong or I'm missing a step, or the zip is not working for my mom's phone.

Then when you get to step II open the twrp and go into settings and uncheck the prompt option to install supersu if it is checked. whenever you do something in twrp uncheck this option. I do not know if this will be your problem but this always happens to me, if not clear at the time of restart the cell phone is in the loop screen exactly because of this option.

Checked TWRP Settings and there's no option / tickbox for supersu. I think one thing that I'm doing wrong is that I'm formatting data in TWRP during the wipe process instead of just sliding it to restore factory settings. I will try again later today after work.
Also, one thing I've noticed after flashing TWRP is that I have to enter recovery mode twice - the first time, it goes to the No command error screen then goes to stock recovery. Only after a reboot in the stock recovery would the phone enter TWRP recovery.

Just one more thing. In tutorials on how to install twrp. when you enter twrp the first thing you should do is format the data. then install the rmm state prenormal and bypass files and only then install magisk or a custom rom.

Before trying to flash TWRP, first flash a full stock firmware and make sure your can at least boot all the way up to the main screen.
Once that works, only then try to flash any custom recovery or custom rom.

Same prob
I've just faced the same problem a few days after my update as well. Did you figure out how to get it back to normal? Thank you!

Huawei Y5 MYA-L22, NO ROOM, NO STOCK RECOVERY, FRP LOCKED

So I tried to unlock the bootloader of this phone and installed TWRP recovery and I did but then when I opened the phone I found no IMEI for the both SIM cards, anyway I thought it's a simple Rom reinstall problem, so at first it would sometimes boot into Stock recovery and sometime TWRP recovery, when it booted into TWRP Recovery I wiped everything accidentally and now the phone is Romless with a TWRP recovery only. I tried to flash Many custom roms and after flashing it just says no OS and boots into recovery again. the phone is like a rock
In Conclusion:
1. There's no OS
2. Only TWRP recovery
3. I can't flash stock recovery because OEM unlock is not enabled and in order to enable it I have to go to Developer options which I don't even have an OS to do this
4. I need stock Recovery to apply the update.app method
I need anyhelp to get the OS or Rom installed again even if it's custom ROM! I just want it to boot up!
UPDATE: I broke the TWRP recovery too! now it just boots on the Huawei logo for like 0.1 second and restarts and Huawei logo again and it keeps doing this, I can't acess anyhting

Hello,
Sorry for your phone,
You should use SP flash tool to recover it, you need to download a full ROM for this phone and then flash it to the phone,
You should find the tools via google easily!
Good luck
I think the imei problem will still exist, when you recover the phone, then I may guide you to overcome the imei problem..

BTW if you plug the USB you will get into default emergency recovery,, else you will get into TWRP
