Cant enter fastboot & recovery - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
When I want to enter fastboot with vol down + plug usb in, phone goes to offline charging (light grey battery appears then goes to charging animation)
Here is what I did:
- Unlocked fastboot
- Fastboot flashed latest recovery from twrp: twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img
and now I cant enter recovery nor fastboot. The only thing I can is boot to Android, but it is locked. Any suggestion how to enter fastboot?

Now I can enter fastboot, but still cant enter twrp. Flashed different images, no change
EDIT: By holding vol up + pow button I enter Huawei eRecovery with options reboot, dowload new version and recovery and shutdown. What does that mean?

For entering into FASTBOOT mode you must have a USB cable plugged into a PC. To enter into TWRP, after flashing it you must write te command fastboot reboot, unplug the cable immediately and hold the volume up button.

Thanks for reply.
Did like you said: flashed recovery then rebooted and immediately unplugged usb and started holding vol up. Phone was showing boot logo and rebooting itself. If I left finger off button, phone booted to OS.
IDK what I'm doing wrong here. BTW I'm using this recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img on https://eu.dl.twrp.me/grace/
Legit confused... Been doing this stuff for years and this happens :/

So you are on Android 5.0.1, then you must find a compatible version of TWRP which has to be older than 3.0.0 or you can update to Android 6.0 with HiSuite, Firmware Finder via the eRecovery.

Quite an old version, latest Stock ROM is build 399 AFAIK, I'm running it and phone is very stable, fast and good battery life.
IMHO well worth upgrading to it.

Well, I suggest you to try VillainROM 2.1. You will have to flash cf-root (the version of it has to be the same as the version of your current f/w), connect your phone to pc and get the VR 2.1 into your sd card then power off your phone, volume up + power + home button - do a full wipe - choose to install a zip from sd, flash villain and you will be fine..hope so. If you get stuck @ any point, you can scream for help cuz I will be here to support you mate
Forgot to get you this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 It might help you though.
The main problem right now is I can't reboot my GSII so I can't do anything now.
Do you have any suggestion?

Try to enter download mode (volume down + power button + home button) and flash with odin a stock rom.
The main problem now is I can power on my GSII so I can't enter any download mode and recovery mode.
I don't know how to do now and please help me, thank you.
Just power off your phone. If doesn't work by the power button, pull out the battery. When the phone is powered off, press the 3 buttons same time and you will enter download mod.
Sorry for my typo mistake, now I can't power on my GS2 so I don't know how to enter to download mode

You dont have to power on your device to enter download mode. Just push VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, POWER BUTTON and HOME BUTTON in the same time. Then, push volume down to enter odin mode. After that, connect your cable to your device and press start in odin (before that, dont forget to put the stock f/w into PDA in Odin)
My GSII still no response and I think the row is dead and can't bootup so how can I do? Tks brother
So after your flashing width odin did odin say pass or complete?
You may still be able to get into download mode but just not see it,
When you hold the key combination then plug it into odin and see if it comes
Up with the yellow box that tells your if your device is connected.
edit : so you hold power, volume down and home then you have to press up to enter download mode, after this plug it in to odin and see if you can see the phone.
There is no response after boot my phone and it hasn't say pass or complete.
Then the phone can't open again and I don't know how to do now, please help.

You need a download mode jig. Can make one yourself or buy in ebay or something.

Well that's a problem. You might try the jig but I've never had to use one so don't know if or how well it'll work.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Seeing that you said you can enter recovery via ADB, you phone should not require a jig I believe, as it tries to boot and. Start ADB which allowed you to enter there. Also did you say that while on recovery your phone starts pressing random buttons. Like say up and down I assume? Just wondering if you have broken volume keys or malfunctioning keys.
And which model S4 do you have?

This is a confusing and misleading guide! It should be removed before causing more trouble to people.
Simultaneously pushing all thee buttons: Volume-Up + Volume Down + Power will cause an immediate Factory Wipe/Reset!
At least this is true for Stock AOS 6.

P9Lite dead screen?

Hi, my screen doesn't seems to work. I wanted to downgrade from Nougat, so i flashed oeminfo and then rebooted and installed b130 l-21 firmware. Installation reached 100% but then it tell an error and i there was just a button to reboot, so i pressed it and after that, black screen. Charging led not working too. By the way, i don't know why, but my phone is booting only in fastboot mode, even if i force reboot by holding power button, the device is rebooting in fastboot. I re-unlocked the bootloader and then tried to flash b160, but it seems like it din't flash nothing, because when i type "fastboot getvar rescue_phoneinfo" it says that i'm on B130. Any idea?
Edit: DC-Phoenix unlocker says that "battery state: 0" is this ok?

Oh, yea, i finally got my device working again without using warranty, but i had to pay 15€ for the DC-Phoenix flash service. With that service i could flash any file that is into an .app instead of just flash system, boot and recovery with classic fastboot method. So i downloaded b161, flashed it and my screen came back again!

Okay cool.
Open ODIN, connect your phone and tick the box next to AP/PDA (Depending on your ODIN version).
Click on AP or PDA and select the recovery I'm about to send you.
Press 'Start' and wait for it to finish its process.
If you are successfully able to boot into TWRP try Wipe>Advanced Wipe and deselect all apart from Data (This will erase all of your settings and app data).
Try to boot your phone!
If that doesn't work let me know I have a flashable zip you may be able to use.

Okay cool.
Open ODIN, connect your phone and tick the box next to AP/PDA (Depending on your ODIN version).
Click on AP or PDA and select the recovery I'm about to send you.
Press 'Start' and wait for it to finish its process.
If you are successfully able to boot into TWRP try Wipe>Advanced Wipe and deselect all apart from Data (This will erase all of your settings and app data).
Try to boot your phone!
If that doesn't work let me know I have a flashable zip you may be able to use.

I don't quite understand what you mean?
Just flash the recovery through ODIN and let me know if it's working.
Don't forget to boot the phone with Power, home and Vol+ held down to access recovery (After you've flashed TWRP)
And sadly I'm at work at the moment so I can't access Skype.
I will be on here frequently as you can tell so I'll reply as soon as I recieve notifications.

Sorry!!! Forgot to mention, pull battery and put it back in and power it on using Power + Home + Vol Down
You should see a message asking you to press the volume down, press it and then you should have entered ODIN/Download mode. Try ODIN then.
No matter what you have flashed you should always be able to access Download mode.

Hm... Maybe the battery is drained from attempting to fix???
Try charging it with the phone off and try again. (Using an AC adapter)
Download Mode shouldn't be affected at all...

Okay Ill give it a quick charge for 15 minutes. I dont know why it keeps shutting off, i dont think the battery is drained as the phone can turn on multiple times
Yeah I know what you're saying. I believe the batteries actually have leftover capacity to help stop it discharging low enough to kill the battery
