twrp problem

Hi,
I have a problem with my device. My device has root (check by rootchecker) an the twrp manager says that the twrp recovery is installed but I can not go into the recovery. If I hold the buttons volume up and power I just come into the fastboot mode.
The problem starts as I start an update by ota.
Can anybody give me a solution?
Thank you.

Turn off the phone. Press vol down and power together till you see anything on the screen and let only power go pressing the vol down further.

You could re-flash TWRP.
1. Boot phone into fastboot mode (volume-up+power button)
2. Connect to PC (make sure drivers and fastboot are installed)
3. If you havn't already download the appropiate version of TWRP.
4. Navigate to the TWRP file and rename it recovery.img then open a command prompt there
5. Type fastboot device to make sure your device is recognized then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without quotes then boot into recovery by typing "fastboot boot recovery.img" also without quotes

Thank you for your help, but it was a brick. I found a solution on YouTube and on this site. Greetings

Unable to flash TWRP using fast boot mode

Hello friends
Today I tried flashing the TWRP using fast boot mode but got an error -
"fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. "
Any idea why this could be happening? I have reflashed the MIUI Rom using fastboot rom. The boot loader is unlocked.
Help will be appreciated.
Regards.

Friendly Bump
Need help quickly.

Download mfastboot install and open:

Turn your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol down + power then connect to pc and give command fastboot devices and check if it recognize your device then try other commands for flashing recovery.
Also you can try by recovery installer go here and follow the tutorial :

Thanks mate but the problem was solved. I was starting the twrp installer as Admin and it was giving an error, started that normally and it worked. Strange that but it did.

You can try to flash TWRY by Flashify in Android

Really Stuck and Need Help ASAP!!! MLA-L03 Soft Brick

I'm stuck in an infinite eRecovery loop. No matter what I try or what I do I can't get the phone to boot back into the OS. Anyone have any tips or tricks? Huawei is going to do an rma for me but I'm flying out on business for 2 weeks and really need this phone with me. It's an MLA-L03 that is oem unlocked (which is what I'm thinking is causing me the most issues as I can't do the normal button presses to get to certain things but I can't relock it as it says it can't be trusted or whatever)
I did manage to get to a point where I have full access to /data/ but no matter what rom I try to flash it fails with failing to mount /cust/
If I put an update.app it will get to 5% and hang until it fails when I do the button press to force an update. I cannot get to the emui factory reset screen.
PS, yes I know I'm a dumbass, so be gentle lol. I'm really desperate and have nothing to lose at this point so will to try anything.
I did try everything here with no luck (other than getting full access to /data/ lol):

my bad hehehe...i wanted to say the twrp :silly:

Ok so you'll have to flash firmware with fastboot.
You need to download and install fastboot, firmware finder and huawei extract tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (fastboot), https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146 (firmware finder), https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 (huawei extract tool).
So install adb and fastboot, extract firmware finder and huawei extract tool. Open firmware finder hit common base, on model for find enter mla-l03 and download a full ota, form firmware you just downloaded extract update.app. Now open huawei extract tool and load your update.app you've just extracted and extract from there boot.img, recovery.img and system.img by using the right click (extract them on the same folder where is located fastboot, for example I got fastboot installed on local C/adb).
If you have twrp installed boot in fastboot mode by using twrp, if not you can boot in fastboot mode with the phone turned off by pressing volume - while plugging the usb cable.
Open cmd and write cd /adb (between cd and / is space) and hit enter than write fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG and hit enter, after finally writing the system write fastboot reboot and hit enter and wait till phone reboots.

Thanks, I've done all that already and it did not fix it but will try again once I get home.

Really?
I got my phone in the same state and was the only method witch helped me.
Did you successfully flashed boot, recovery and system and still not working? phone get stuck on the huawei logo? After you flash them, boot into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache.

yup, everything flashed successfully. I can't get into the recovery to do a factory reset. I have 4 options at my disposal:
1. fastboot
2. Huawei eRecovery
3. TWRP
4. force update where it always fails at 5%
I think the biggest thing that is screwing me is the fact that it's unlocked and I can't relock it. I'm almost 100% positive if I could relock it, I would have no issues with it.

And woh do you boot into twrp? Since you can boot into twrp you must be able to boot in stock recovery. Use huawei multi tool by black team too go into recovery.

Thanks I'll try that.
It's weird. I flash TWRP, do what I need to do, then reflash the recovery.img. However it just does a continuous loop to eRecovery when I do that unless I try to force it to update.
I'll try using the fastboot that you linked to and see if that makes a difference. Right now I'm using the minimal adb and fastboot install.
EDIT: Same result when trying to relock the bootloader--device cannot be trusted.
EDIT2: Do you have the cust.img file? None of the firmwares I've downloaded has it in it.

When your device reboots and you get to the warning screen about your device being unlocked, what buttons do you press to get into the normal (ie not eRecovery) recovery where you can do a factory reset? When I have TWRP installed, I have to hold volume + and volume - at the same time to go into TWRP. If I do the same thing after I reflash recovery.img, then it goes straight into the forced update which stalls and fails at 5%. Volume - reboots and goes back to fastboot. Volume + takes me to eRecovery. Doing nothing, the phone reboots and goes to eRocovery on the reboot. Holding down all 3 buttons also goes to the forced update screen.
I'm assuming that I'm missing something super simple and stupid so I'm going to go over everything again, step by step very carefully.

To enter in normal recovery you have to press and hold at the same time volume - and power button.

That just reboots me and then puts me in fastboot unfortunately. I'm going to try loading twrp and removing anything in /dload/ and see if it will boot to normal recovery. Last time I checked there was an update.app file there so maybe it's just bypassing recovery and trying to install that.

I'm driving and it's a bit hard to write did you tried another recovery? You can flsh twrp, put the stock recovery on sdcard, boot into twrp and flash recovery from there and reboot phone from twrp into recovery....

No worries, I really appreciate all the help. Now stop texting and driving. Your life is more important than my phone!!

Hello,
if i'm correct you are still on android 6.x/emui 4.x.
You used SRKTool so why haven't used that tool to flash recovery too ?
It's included in the tool.
You need 3.0.2-0 for your android version.
If you want to flash it with fastboot, when finished
disconnect from pc and manually reboot recovery holding vol+ and power buttons.
Cheers

Android 6 > TWRP 3.0.2-0
Android 7 > TWRP 3.1.1-1
Ensure you have drivers installed in your pc.
Ensure you have OEM unlock and DEBUG USB enabled in developer option.
With fastboot: >>> fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img (ensure you put the recovery inside the fastboot folder)
>>> fastboot reboot recovery or shoutdown and reboot holding vol+ and power buttons (until it boots in TWRP).
Done.
Cheers

Thanks. I managed to get it working more przez less. Now i have two recoveries . One accessible while holding vol+ during power up and stock recovery when i press vol+ for 3s on "your device is unlocked and therefore it should not be trusted" screen.

The system has been destroyed please help

So I flashed the stock pie rom from this forum, came from pixel experience 9. After I flashed the ROM I also flashed the twrp installer and when I rebooted it says the system has been destroyed and press the power button to shut down. I can boot the phone in fastboot but it doesn't recognise it even though the drivers are installed and it worked perfectly before. The miflash program also doesn't recognise anything after I press refresh.
Is there anything I can do?

Boot into TWRP (by booting not flashing) and get a flashable rom with twrp for ex. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/twrp-stock-8-1-0-t3856328

Use this recovery to boot from pc and never Flash twrp on pie.

Yes, I also have a redmi note 5 Pro and a mipad 4 and both work well with ADB.

Try flashint stock on EDL mode.

Same error with me today. Tried to restart 5 times. Its unbelievable but the fix was very easy. Just run "fastboot continue" and wait for 2 minutes for a working reboot!

Thanks for the Solution

Thanks for the solution. Worked for me as well for similar problem. A simplified step by step if anyone still couldn't get it to work.
Power off your phone as asked by the Error Message
Press Volume Down + Power button simultaneously to boot into fastboot.
Load Command Prompt in the ADB/Fastboot folder in your PC (ADB and other drivers need to be installed)
Type "fastboot continue" and press enter
And you are done. If your phone is not recognized by the PC (after you put it to fastboot mode) make sure you have proper Drivers installed for your devices. You can use MiFlashTools to install required drivers automatically.

Thanks for this. This happened to me two weeks ago, had to completely flash stock rom and begin from zero. Hopefully others will see this and avoid starting fresh.
