[HELP] Can't get adb to work!

Heeelp
I tried to install Cataclysm ROM, and then it went into some sort of installer, after that I tried to reboot, but TWRP said it didn't have any OS?? So i tried to boot it up anyway? but nothing, just stucked on Google Logo. After that I tried to boot into TRWP agian. But then TWRP says "Mount Decrypt Data" and then i have to enter a password?? but i removed my pattern lock before flashing. Because i made a Nandroid and i read i had to remove the password before making a backup. But then i just press cancel. Then it says " Unmodified System Partition" "Swipe to Allow Modifications" and i do that. Now i have nothing on my SD card?? Then i thought i could flash stock through Fastboot/ADB, but now it won't see my device in ADB? I have updated my drivers, both by Google and Intel (Read they helped someone else) But nothing? so i cant retutn to stock and can't boot up.
Please help, highly appreciated
Some how i got i to reboot by an ADB command and then i could flash factory imgs and return to stock.
That very same thing happened to me the 1st time I tried to install Cataclysm. Somehow my SD card got wiped.
I had to start from scratch with the factory image.
I don't know what happened but I have since successfully installed Cataclysm.

Updated and lost root, recovery, and relocked

Hello
I had my phone on the VNS-L31C113B132 firmware, unlocked, rooted.
Then I got a message about a new update (VNS-L31C113B141), so naturally, I downloaded the update.app and tried to flash it through twrp with no success, so I used the up+down+power method, it worked, and all was well, except i lost root, lost twrp, and the bootloader seemed to be locked again. No data or apps were deleted though. Then I updated to B150 same method.
any idea why root and recovery are gone? and how can I check if my bootloader indeed is relocked?
That is a completely regular behavior. You can check by booting to bootloader (holding up and power button when the phone is turned off), it will show you a white screen with the Android robot and info on bootloader and FRP status. To get everything back, just unlock the BL again, flash TWRP again and root again, no harm will be done, and your root software (e.g. Xposed) will start working again (although for xposed, you'll have only the client, the framework has to be flashed via TWRP once again).

unlocking again may result in factory reset.... or is there another method that keeps everything?

Unfrtunately yes, the phone will be reset. All you can do is to back it up and then restore it. Next time you update firmware, update it with "update.zip" from TWRP, this way, only recovery and root will be removed, but not the BL unlock.
look around, it is a workaround for skip factory reset in unlock/relock procedure.

No Reboot After TWRP Flash

Hello, i had a lot of troubles with battery drains recently, by curiosity i wanted to restore my stock backup.
So i did and the phone was stuck during rom boot.
So i wanted to go back to TWRP to fix things but instead it went back to stock recovery.
Okay, so i wanted to flash TWRP again but after flashing the recovery.img,
nothing happens when i enter fastboot reboot
I forced shutdown and re tried many times with other twrp files, always the same issue i cannot reboot with the flashed recovery ! ! !
please HELP :angel:
To boot to recovery, shut down the phone, press volume up + power button, when the phone vibrate release the buttons and it will boot to recovery.
The command "fastboot reboot" will just reboot normally the phone.
sorry but my problem is that i cannot reboot in twrp anymore, it always reboot on STOCK recovery !
dunno what to do i got to meet foreign customers tomorrow without my phone i dunno how i'll do, so unlucky it happened to me today
i even tried flashing on another computer, and trying to restore with stock recovery or huawei app but none are working.
to make it clear, i can just fastboot.
so what should i flash to restore/unbrick my phone ? don't care if i lose data, just need to call tomorrow !
edit: some folks say to put update.app in load folder on sd card then boot with the three buttons but which update.app file should i copy ? i got a VNS-L31 should the SD card be in FAT32 ?
Are you sure you flashed TWRP? Try to download it again and flash it from fastboot mode.
yes sure i did it like 20 times this afternoon, i'm trying to fix it for 5 hours lol
in fact i just was able to boot the restore .app while booting with the three buttons, it's installing updates, hope it will fix all the partitions/recovery/boot/system... and all those necessary stuffs
edit: finally huawei animated boot logo is showing UP !

i was using meticulous TWRP v3 and some of his builds for several months and i had trouble with those roms.
so i restored my stock backup and everything was not working anymore, each i tried flashing it always went back on stock recovery a every reboot, impossible to flash twrp anymore...
looks like the phone is stuck in a boot loop lol pfffft
edit:
FYI what i just tried is restoring this image http://consumer.huawei.com/lk/support/products/downloads/huawei-p9-lite-lk.htm (the first one ASIA) but the phone is still booting looks like a fail, could it be incompatible ?
I see.
If you managed to restore with the update.app and the 3 buttons, everything should be fine. It will take some time to boot up, so just wait for a while. Also the bootloader probably re-locked so you will need to unlock it again.

it can relock ? i will check !
if it does not work should i fast boot flash system.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and boot.img ?
I think the best thing to do should be a factory reset from recovery, stock is fine, then reboot and wait for 15-20 minutes. If the update.app succefully installed there should be no problem

I was using the AXON7TOOL and I used the unlock boot loader feature and it unlocked to boot loader then I choose root and it rooted it but now it does not boot up!

"If no key pressed your device will boot in 5 seconds" and it never boots up it shuts down and does it all over again. SOME PLEASE HELP IM PANICANING. IF U NEED ANY MORE INFO TO HELP PLEASE COMMENT! its running Android 7.1.1 Nougat I also tried Factory Reset and Wipe Partiton and that did nothing.

Oh god don't panic. Do NOT lock the bootloader though!
When that screen shows up, hit the volume down button and select 'recovery', then hit power. It should boot up on the recovery. Three things might happen:
a) you will boot into TWRP, in which case the fastest way would be to install Lineage or a Lineage based rom. If this happens download a LOS-based ROM, and also the Universal Bootstack and A2017U modem, then put them on the phone, wipe system, data and cache, and install all 3
b) you will boot into the stock recovery. if this happens you'll need an SD card (4gb or more), you simply put an official A2017U update.zip there (tell me if this is your case and I'll see if i can find a link)
c) your phone will simply reboot, in which case you might need to use MiFlash
When I goto Apply Update from SD card it says "Sorry,you can't sdcard upgrade" im not sure if that normal
I GOT Option B btw and I do have a 4gb sdcard in currently

This is not good. It can't be dm-verity because the toolkit disables it when rooting. It has to be a problem with the new version of SuperSU. I'll downgrade it when I get the chance. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

2.79 always works, though it'd be best if you just added magisk 14
Ok I was lucky enough it get TWRP on it so what do I do now? I was able to flash it with miflash. I also cleared the entire phone so now it says no os are you sure you want to reboot? So how can i install the Operating system. Sorry for all the hassle this is my 2nd android device i'm used to apple and the easy jailbreaks and restores. Can I have the download links to the things I need to get cause I don't have a clue what to look for. I really shouldn't have done this for being such a noob. XD
@sonic1337 I downgraded the SuperSU version. The root option should work now without issues.
Thanks for downgrading it but my phone no long has an os on it so I cannot us the root anymore I need to know how to reinstall it. If you can help me with that I can try it again.

[H] stuck at "your device is booting up" [BRICKED]

Hello. I tried to flash Elite Rom into my p9lite using twrp , everything's fine till now. After it flashed it my phone wouldn't boot up and I tried to get back to a stock firmware. I tried using rollback and emui 5.0 stock firmwares but nothing would seem to work. i'd get the same "your device is booting now". I tried using the dload , nothing worked , "incompatible version" , used p9lite tools kit to unbrick it , everything flashed except cust ( partition error). and it would still not boot. Tried to do a data wipe/factory reset/format data using twrp , I was unable to wipe any data , getting permission denied and something with " without encryption". After , I've found a way to rollback using a tutorial from blackwolf , I flashed his oeminfo (duals one) , the phone rebooted , i entered into fastboot and I unlocked the bootload again since it was locked. After that the phone rebooted and it got stuck at "your device is booting now". As a note , I did unlock the bootloader , i flashed TWRP on recovery2 since on recovery it would boot into erecovery , I cant' get into fastboot nor TWRP. Is there any way to fix it or is it lost forever?
