honor 5X update freeze/loop - no TWRP recovery possible - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hello everybody,
since saturday I have a really big problem. Until now I tried to find a similar problem from an other person in the internet in order to fix mine but that was not possible.
So in my last hope I am now writing it down here. Hopefully someone can help me:
The phone was/is rooted and has TWRP as recovery installed (v3.21). The software is still the original EMUI.
On saturday my Huawei Honor 5x (Model KIW-L21) gave me the notification that there is an software update avaible. So I backuped everything with TWRP to my sd-card and copied it to the computer. After this I ran th eupdate. The update downloaded the new software, then rebootet to the recovery, installed the update.zip automaticly and rebootet again. Then there was written on the screen "Huawei software installing ... DO NOT unplug usb or press any key!". Also there was "0%" all the time. It did nothing. also the phone was not connected with usb.
After an hour I long pressed the power button. after two seconds there was the text "Warning: The powerkey is long pressed, please release powerkey to avoid system crash" displayed. I pressed it longer and the phone turned off.
Now I have the following problem. When the phone is turned off, I can:
press the power button: the phone starts, the "honor ... android" logo is shown but nothing more happens. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> device found but no permission to enter commands)
press the power button and the volume up button and the volume down button at the same time: normally this should take me in the recovery mode, mut it doesn't anymore. Instead the "EMUI" update screen is shown (see above "huawei software installing ..." with "0%") ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume up button at the same time: I get a huawei menu with three buttons: "reboot", "wipe user cache" and "factory reset". I tried both (wipe and reset) wich both finished without an error. But nothing changes ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume down button at the same time: I get an "eRecovery" menu from huawei with three buttons: "Reboot", "power off" and "Recover with latest software". The last button lets me connect to my wifi and then "searching for packages", with failes all the time. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
This problem occures with and also without the sd-card. Also there is no "update.zip" or "update.app" on the sd-card.
I really hope somebody can help me. I only need to get into the recovery. If I am there I can recover the backup or install a new ROM. That would be no problem for me. But at the moment I get nothing :crying:
Or maybe a tool to reset the phone completly? to start over from the beginning?
greetings,
Christopher
PS.: Thanks for your efford.
PSS.: Sorry for my bad english, I really try my best and hope that you understand what I am trying to say.

Same problem here... Please help us :'(

to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

AGAIN AND AGAIN, when you receive an update notification you MUST first flash back to stock recovery or it won't update with TWRP !!!
- To recover a stock recovery you need to boot onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
From there you will loose your connexion with your computer. So unplug your phone and reboot manually holding down the Power button for some seconds.
If the system ever update your phone, BE VERY PATIENT !
The above note should probably part of a sticky !!!
If you don't get back to your Home screen and if you need TWRP back, reboot again onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (or whatever the custom recovery name).

The problem a lot of people were having is TWRP flashed enough of the update that they lost custom recovery and had no way to get to the bootloader / fastboot ... that's why I posted the instructions above and in about 4 other threads.
Did you ever get your phone updated ?

Working great thanks a lot!
"fastboot & rescue mode" with a working usb connection.
What is the next step? If I now flash the stock recovery, does the phone manages to finish the system update?
Or should I flash the twrp recovery and not the stock revocery?
greetings,
Christopher
EDIT:
I flashed the stock recovery and also the twrp recovery. both times i startet the phone and hoped the installation of the new software will go on. But it didn't.
So my problem is still resistant. so what can I do? How do I stop the update from blocking my recovery? I do not need the update. maybe I can reset my device with the fastboot access somehow?

All the full updates are in the file depot
Use stock recovery plus the full update for your version.
You have to hold volup + voldown + power to start the update
Refresh TWRP / Root and your good to go

I found the stock recovery at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51004 but I have no idea what update I must use and how to use it.
Could you please give me a concrete link with a little introduction? Do I have to copy the update file to my sd-card? or do I have to use the "fastboot update *" command?
(Most of the files are for "KIW-L24" but I have a "KIW-L21" ... is there a significant difference? Od do I can use also the other files?)
Also, don't I have to stop the wrong update first?
greetings,
Christopher
EDIT:
I tried these "UPDATE.APP":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684
http://www.androidvillaz.com/2016/0...honor-5x-to-stock-lollipop-firmware-b130.html
both did not work. I copied them into the "dload" folder in the root of the sd-card and started the phone with volup+coldown+power.
The only thing the phone said was "Software install failed! ... Press powerkey to conrifm ... Shutdown system now".

if the update.app doesn't work you'll have to flash TWRP and the Stock Rom and wait like everyone else that's stuck trying to update the L21

The only way I know to flash a ROM, is to go over TWRP.
So I now did the following:
Phone power off
connect to pc
voldown+power
in the fastboot flash the recovery from twrp
shutdown
copy the "customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip" to the sd-card
volup+coldown+power what normally starts twrp, but only the huawei update manager is shown
I only need twrp, no update and nothing else.
What options do I have left, because "flash a ROM" is not working ...
How can I stop this terrible update that is blocking my twrp?

Christopher

I flashed TWRP using "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img". I also used this one last time (one month ago) and it worked then and also now.
Flashing was successful, but when I press volup+power I get a huawei menu.
At the top there is the "EMUI" circle and below there are three buttons:
Reboot system now
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I can move around in this little menu by using the volume keys.
But this is not TWRP.
And normally I enter the recovery by using volup+voldown+power. But this is currently blocked by the update progress from huawei.

This is the polish version of manual, I will write you how to do it:
1. Download ADB and Fastboot
2. Extract to c:/adb
3. Download from this thread firmware for you (extracted version!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684 If you have problem what firmware you have to install, take look at the back side of phone, at the down you will se KIW-L21 or 24 (or another). Copy all files to adb folder
4. Rund adb program
5. Write in the command line: cd c:/adb
6. Connect phone to usb to download mode (power and vol- combination)
7. Write in fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recover.img (or recovrey .img, see the file and type it name) - wait for install
8. And now: If the flash is succesfull, reboot the phone to recovery (power and volume+) and wipe all data. Phone have to work.
But if flash is not succesfull, plug again usb with download mode
9. Write this commands: fastboot flash cust cust.img -wait for install
and: fastboot flash system system.img -also wait, system.img can took a while
10. Now you will enter recovery and wipe all data
11. Again plug usb cable and install firmware with those commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

With this I am not able to start my phone again. It will boot normally and I have a clean android. No userdata and no root.
So I now did the same like last month:
Unlock OEM -> not necessary, because it is already unlocked
install twrp with fastboot
reboot to twrp and there it is again
I did exactly what you said and also I did exactly the same thing I did last month but both times there is the same result: TWRP will not show up.
The "stock recovery" is blocking twrp in some sort of way. I can do whatever I whant ... volup+power out of the fastbook mode, or with "adb reboot recovery", or other ways ... twrp will not show up.
How is this possible? I also tried different twrp images. (The "kiwi_twrp_2-27_recovery.img" and "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img" out of your repository, and also the "twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img" and "twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img" from the twrp website itself ... always the same result: no twrp)
I am really at the end of my knollage

First off thanks for the very informative post.
Without actually having the phone in my hands I'm also stumped at what to try next.
After flashing TWRP and still in the boot loader unplug the USB before you reboot with power and volume up.
That's all I can think of right now

I must thank you for all your help
So I now read some more articles and tried some things. So there are old problems solved, but also new problems came up:
For me it is no longer possible to flash a recovery that is permanent. I have no idea why but I am ignoring it, because I can start the phone with voldown+power into bootloader and then use a usb-connection to enter the following command:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i can enter twrp temporary and because I do not need TWRP this often, that is ok for me.
BUT:
with the extracted "UPDATE.APP" and flashing some "*.img" files manually (see my last post), I have a more or less working "L21C432B130" version of android.
So now there is everything original (recovery, system, ...).
The update to "L21C432B140" is still not working. But that is also something I can live with.
So now I whant to restore my old system in order to have my old data/apps/... .
So I enter my temporary TWRP, go to Restore and select my old backup. Then the restore starts. Restoring EFS, Restoring efs2, Restoring Recovery, Wiping System and Formatting System using make_ext4fs. All of this in this order are successful. But the last operation "Restoring Data" failes with the following error message:
extractTarFork() process ended with error 255
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I searched on xda and found out, that this could be ANYTHING. I tried five or six different methods in order to fix it. In the end I am not sure what really fixxed it, but now I can restore my old update without any error. The phone now runs and I have all my old data.
There are four main differences on my phone to the time before I tried that damn update:
1. I have less internal storage
2. I have no TWRP permanently avaible
3. I can not Factory-Reset
4. I can not use a "UPDATE.APP" inside a "dload" folder on the sdcard
(the last two things always failes)
But as long as the android system now runs smooth again I can live with these things.
Is there maybe anything else I should be careful? maybe a known bug/problem that I have not seen yet?
The reason why I wanted to update in the first place was, that I have problems with my sd-card.
Some Apps do not allow to use the external storage. Easy Voice Recorder is the main problem. But also the Call Recorder has problems with it.
Is this a well known bug? Does a update helps? And if so, how do I update? (Now I know how to rescue my phone, so I could try it again xD )
Or does this problem gets solved with an custom ROM? If so, what good custom ROMs are out there for the honor 5x?
Or is this a problem that is not possible to fix on the honor 5x? Because these apps does not have this problem on my HTC One M9 ...
And thanks again so much for all your help

from your current state you can try flash recovery with TWRP by choosing install / image / your version of TWRP / choose recovery / swipe to flash
Now choose reboot / recovery
As for the sdcard try the sdcard fix for kit Kat in the play store. It works for some older apps.

If you mean getting my phone updated to KIW-L21 B140, no I still don't get it !
But I did try with KIW-L24 B151 with the result I already mentioned previously : almost bricked... ^^

So i have this issue too. im so stupid for doing this. I can go into fastboot mode and i flashed stock recovery and when i rebooted into recovery it still said that it was updating the firmware. I flashed twrp after that and it had the same message. am i doing something wrong or is it my phone? I tried rebooting into bootloader using adb but only fastboot will reconize my phone so adb also wont work. could you guys maybe help me?
Edit: Yessss. i got it using the temporary command. Thank you guys all for your help. it was so stupid of me to flash it with twrp still on it. Thank you all very much

[HELP PLZ] Re-flash stock Recovery!!!

Recently, I was foolish enough to play around with the tool WSG UnBricker v1.0.3, and I went to flash the recovery (option to flash own image), I then drap the one that's bundled with the tool to flash it, after that I couldn't enter the stock recovery to see the familiar dead Andy, nor can I factory reset the device any more.
When trying to factory reset it, I kept getting the error (in red) that says "Unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000", then the device just hangs there.
My TF201 is still locked, not rooted, it is on Jelly Bean and other functions are still OK. I can still boot it and use it normally, just can't factory reset it and get the "Unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000" error.
So, please, If anyone has any idea to deal with this, please help me!!! I've been looking all around but to no available. How foolish of me to have done it!!!
What exactly did you try to do with the WSG tool??
Anyway, you could try one of these methods to do a complete restore...
Download the stock ROM (http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download)... it has a zip within a zip... extract the first zip and you should have a file with a name like US_epad-user-10.4.2.15.zip (or WW or TW depending on which zip you downloaded)
1. Flash via recovery
- Copy the update zip (e.g. US_epad-user-10.4.2.15.zip) to your sdcard
- Open adb shell and enter the following command
Code:
echo '--update_package=/sdcard/US_epad-user-10.4.2.15.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command
- Reboot and enter recovery mode [Power + Vol Down, then select RCK and press Vol Up]
- You should see the recovery screen (green Android with progress bar)
- It should reboot & then you see the blue progress bar on the Asus splash screen
- Let it finish and boot up.
- Now start it up using the Power + Vol Down key, then use the Vol Down key to highlight Wipe Data and pre the Vol Up key. This may take a few minutes.
2. Flash via fastboot
- Extract the blob from the update zip (e.g. US_epad-user-10.4.2.15.zip) on your computer
- Start the device in fastboot mode [Power + Vol Down, then select the USB symbol and press Vol Up]
- Run the follow command in a terminal window
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob
- You should see the fastboot command transfering the files. Once that is done, reboot
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
- It should reboot & then you see the blue progress bar on the Asus splash screen
- Let it finish and boot up.
- Now start it up using the Power + Vol Down key, then use the Vol Down key to highlight Wipe Data and pre the Vol Up key. This may take a few minutes.

Thanks a lot, craigacgomez!!! I had to try to use the 2nd option you gave me (flash via fastboot), as my Recovery was probably screwed; as I said before, I couldn't get into Recovery (stock recovery I think, because it's still not unlocked, not rooted), just says "Unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000". However, even with the 2nd option, when I try the reboot command, the device just stays there, and the writing process before it only took about 3s as the picture I attached herewith. I tried to manually reboot it after "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob", but the device still booted as If nothing was done using the command.
I think the jellybean stock recovery is screwed, only by successfully re-flashing it, can I do the factory reset. Now, it can boot and be used normally but not factory reset. The reason I tried to play with the tool was because I am one of the very "luck" users that have to live with the infamous "Serial unknown" feature!!! For one second of misthought and alcohol, I somehow screwed it like this.
So, what can I do now to re-flash the stock recovery, please tell me! Thanks a lot again man.
I just tried to cold boot the device using the Volume down+Power and let it pass the 10s. After that, the screen says it's cold booting linux or something, then a signature match, but it hangs there. I pressed and held Power until It reboots, but this time It won't even get passed the Asus splash screen. I just officially get an expensive "temporary" paperweight!!! Someone, please help!!!!!!!
Please, anyone???
Same original problem as OP. Not sure about the bricking problem...
I also receive that error when attempting to boot from recovery. However, I can still boot normal and seems I can wipe data. Also, I can start fastboot...but it seems to only be responsive to one command before it becomes unresponsive. Adb doesn't seem to be seeing the device anymore. And I can boot into APX.
This doesn't really help the OP if bricked, but providing these details, because I am still trying to find a solution to the same original problem.
Maybe it's time for me to use Asus's warranty service?
found the solution to this problem?
found the solution to this problem? I am presenting the same problem! someone please help me
same here... I have 10.6.1.8 bootloader currently, courtesy the previous owner and I can't seem to flash anything. After sending a command to the device, it becomes unresponsive and just freezes.
Now, as it is possible to send a file over to the device, does it stay there? It looks like there is only one command that can be executed and that is sending. Maybe if the file was there, the one command would be flashing the file? Just grasping at straws
I have a similar problem.
Can access fastboot, but the unrecoverable error appears every time i enter recovery or wipe mode.
Also fastboot freezes after i flash something.
My opinion: Hard brick. You need to replace the motherboard.
I am almost ready to accept it... However, as the bootloader is from TF300, would it be possible to use those drivers to communicate with the device? I'm at work right now so can't test, but it seems like a remote possibility

I also have the bootloader error 0x00000000,
bought the prime second hand and thought I would unlock and try some new ROM, I have done successful root flash etc on my old HTC desire to get it running JB ROMs so thought would give it a go on PRIME, big mistake!! rushed into it like an absolute moron and now have a lovely paperweight!
Everything I have read suggests this is unfixable but I found the tool WSG unbrick and thought hey hey here we go!! but no dice.
The erasing tools seem to do everything but when I tried to install the full unbrick option (write partitions) it just goes straight to the reboot menu with a message that "this menu is only for when the device is in bootloader mode" same for any other install option!
Every time I try to flash something in fastboot it seems like it disconnects or fastboot stops working,
I am pretty much ready to give up and admit defeat, phone call to ASUS!!!

Bootloop and no way to enter in recovery or download mode

Hi guys! Yesterday I decided to unlock the bootloader, flash recovery (twrp 2.8.6) and the cyanogen 11 nightly. Everything went good until I tried to install the gapps, I noticed that the physical shortcut to enter in recovery (after the turning off, of course) didn't worked: the phone restarted or boot up the rom, but I was able to enter in recovery from the advanced restart menu from the rom. Going into the info of the phone where it says kernel there was written "unknown" and no way to overclock. So I decided to reinstall the kernel (the cyanogen11extended) from twrp, everything went good except that I couldn't restart into recovery, it stuck on rebooting until shutdown. So I tought let's use fastboot to erase ad flash the recovery partition and the kernel, but it didn't do anything even if on the cmd said okey and finished in something about a second, but when i tried to enter in recovery I always get stucked on rebooting. So I tought"well if I have the system image I could flash it with fastboot and restore the stock kernel", so I erased the system partition and tried to flash the system.img and I get the message that it is too big for the destination device. Now I don't have a system installed tye hotkeys don't work and I'm stuck on LG screen logo.
There is a solution or do you suggest to send the device in warranty, instead?
Pull the battery and try to enter download mode.
Hi vagelis! You mean without the battery? The hotkey is vol up+power, right?
Edit: i tried without the battery pressing the vol up + power (also tried with vol down + power) and it doesn't work, on the screen I have an image which says to put the battery in, and holding the keys has as only result to reboot the phone showing the image... I guess there's no hope right?
Edit2: I entered download mode using the g2 method, now I have to downoad the kdz rom and the lg flash tool to unbrick, right? But where I can download it since the lg site for the firmware is apparently down?

Ok guys, I was able to unbrick entering in emergency mode e doing the flash tool stuff. The strange thing is that when I start the flash tool putting the file kdz and going forward in the next window, when I click on read phone info the program stops working, if I click directly on stuff then the lg mobile support tool is opened. Now when it starts to write on the phone, the tool says that an error occurred (something like "the server is offline) but on the phone it says the port com and start to download the rom. If I say ok to the error of the lg mobile support tool it stops the firmware update and stops the program, if I don't click ok the firmware update end is work unbricking the phone.
Now I noticed that with the stock rom from the version v10h until the last one towelroot is not working, so I downloaded the v10g germany version (since the italy version was offline) and flashed with the same procedure as I have done with the unbrick, so I could run towelroot and flash the twrp and the cyanogenmod11. Thank you so much for your time!!
The topic is quite old, but I've just solved that problem. You should just do it:
1) hold power and vol down till you see LG logo -- immediately release these buttons and 
2) immediately hold power and vol up button to enter into factory reset menu. 
Then click "yes" and next "yes", too.
That's all.

A2017G Boot directly into Bootloader/Fastboot with Vol and Power Button combo

I've found a way to boot directly into bootloader/fastboot mode.
Press simultaniously the Vol+ and the power button until the red light lit up. Then instantly leave the two buttons and press the Vol- button until you see the fastboot menu. You're done!!
This trick to boot into Stock Bootloader/recovery has been known for years and is used on many different Android device
Still, it's great that you participate in this forum !

I see you don't get it. Up to now the only way to get into fastboot was via "adb reboot bootloader". Or from a successfully installed TWRP.
The "for years" known combinations will get you only into Recovery (Power + Vol up), FTM (Power + Vol down), or into EDL respective the useless DFU mode (Power + Vol up + Vol down). In case you've killed your recovery and your bootimg you now have a additional option to come back to a functional system. Especially for the A2017g with the useless DFU mode.
Can anyone with bricked A2017G confirm?

Confirmed NOT WORKING .
It doesn't matter if it's working or not. Thanks for the info anyway.
Neither stock recovery nor fastboot will help if you're stuck in DFU mode for G model. You can't do anything to recover the device in neither mode. All what helps is previously had enabled "allow BL unlock" in developer options. This gives you the possibilty to flash a stock ROM from external SD card. It still needs to be aproved from a bricked "DFU" user!

Would you kindly tell us what is not working? Don't you see the menu? Or don't you know what to do with fastboot?
In case you managed it to get into fastboot the next step would be to get into edl by using this trick. -->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292
@tron1, all this does not work. I tried cause I had a bricked (DFU) device. I needed to send it in for repair. And gues: they changed the motherboard.
Even the fastboot_edl results in "remote unknown command". Nearly all commands in fastboot for Axon 7 are disabled bei ZTE.
I will try if it's possible to reboot to edl with the fastboot from the unlock procedure from drakenfx.
forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165
ZTE crippled the loader in a bad ass way. But they left the flash command inside. So it should be possible to flash at least a working recovery to the system if you manage it to get into bootloader. As long as my phone is working I won't try it on it. So volunteers!!
Hint -->
fastboot flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
fastboot erase <partition> erase a flash partition
I there a way recover such a bricked device?
I could only boot into bootloader. If i choose boot recovery the phone only shows a red light.
If i choose start its the same red light.
Or should i contact ZTE for a new phone?

I have bricked my Axon 7 several times this weekend, but new Qualcomm chipsets are unbrickable!!!!
1. There is a way to enter directly to EDL on most Qualcomm devices and works also in the Axon 7. Just ensure your phone is off, then press the three buttons at the same time. The red light will blink once, after that blink release the three buttons (you must be very quick releasing the buttons, otherwise the phone will turn on.
2. Plug your phone to your computer. Windows 10 should detect a new USB device QUSB_BULK without any warning message. Then you can use axon7tool to flash the original boot and recovery (stock or tenfar's signed TWRP).
After that, you will be able to enter into recovery, do a factory reset and then you will be able to restore de initial image from an SD formatted as FAT32 (no, exFAT is not supported by stock recovery) in case of stock recovery. Sideload will not work, always stop before finishing the transmission.
Oki, this is fine for you because you have the US version of the Axon the rest of the axon World is f..ed up with an useless so called DFU mode. Happy Birthday for your Axon.

That did the trick. Thanks
Any idea on why when i tried to enter bootloader mode on my Axon 7 (that i received 1 week ago), it stays on ZTE logo and nothing else happens... What is weirder is that there's a red light and my computer detect it when i do "fastboot devices" but i can't unlock the bootloader...
I tried to downgrade on B02 firmware and nothing... i'm beyond going insane right now.... :-/ It's like ZTE blocked on purpose the access to the bootloader mode...

[Guide] How To Remove FRP via Fastboot

Hey guys. I have the Huawei Ascend XT and I thought I was hard bricked and I started to mess around with some of the commands with Fastboot. I was able to get my phone back up and running. I am currently on the B180 but I am assuming it will work for any version between B140 and B180. What happened with me was I wiped my system partition but I had an unlocked bootloader. I could not get TWRP to boot up or I wasn't able to flash it because of the "FRP Lock", which is also known as Factory Reset Protection so a lot of commands were disabled such as "fastboot -w" to do a factory reset so I thought the worst case scenario.
1. Make sure you can access the "Rescue & Fastboot Mode" by holding down the Volume Down button and Power Button. Mine boot looped for a few screen flashes but it eventually booted into it.
2. Download the stock B140 recovery from here, post #7. (Special Thanks to clsA) https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-ascend-xt/help/stock-ascend-xt-recovery-t3572924
3. Assuming you have already downloaded the Minimal ADB and Fastboot files, open up a command prompt navigating to the fastboot folder and type in the following commands: "fastboot boot recovery.img"
4. After it boots, you can go ahead a do a factory reset via the recovery. It will be stuck on 99% and it wont go to 100%. Give the phone 5 minutes on 99% before doing anything. It gives it a chance to wipe everything completely.
5. Reboot your phone by holding the Volume Down and Power button until it boots into "Recovery & Fastboot Mode" and then flash TWRP as you like. As you can now see that "FRP Lock" disappeared thus allowing you to flash recoveries and use commands again.
It helped me so I hope it helps you out, saved me a lot of stress. Press thanks if this helped and feedback is always welcome.
Always been a great feature - can use fastboot to boot into any recovery, especially useful for testing if a new one works before flashing it. Fairly certain it's fully functional too, so you can do whatever changes you like or make backups without changing your stock recovery.

HELP HardBricked P20lite

I restored full backup from TWRP because my phone is bootloop.
However Restore error
"extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255" at "modem_fw" partition.
I don't have other full backup, so I try to reboot.
Then my phone never response.
I connected USB and pushed Vol- Power button more than 30 sec to go to bootloader, but no response.
Pushing Vol+ Power button and Vol+- Power button is same.
LED next to front camera is also no response.
I tried dload method that I place UPDATE.APP in "dload" folder at the root of external SD card and push Vol+- Power button but no response.
To sum up, no adb no fastboot.
Can anyone fix my phone?
Sorry for my bad English.
Hey, I have a similar problem to you. Badly uploaded modem_fw and the phone only starts to fastboot. I tried to upload every possible partitions through fastboot without success
Any help?
i had something similar. tried to restore an backup with a encrypted data partition. try to boot erecovery somehow. usually wait until screen comes that says the device has been unlocked, and there are several boot modes for you to select. choose option 1 (volume up) to boot eRecovery, do a full factory reset (that erecovery will download the firmware via wifi. never seen something great like this). after it finished downloading and flashing you should be able to boot android. the erecovery also appears if it detects something strange, for example when you restore a valid backup. but then you can just choose reboot and it will be fine.
in order to make a valid twrp backup, you have to disable force encryption. get/extract the stock ramdisk on your system, open magisk manager, untick both checkboxes, tap install magisk and choose to patch your ramdisk image. once done, flash the patched file via fastboot to the "ramdisk" partiton. then you will never ever have any trouble with twrp again.

Hey FalkorTV, How do you start fastboot?
What button do you press?
If you can start fastboot, you can boot recovery.
fastboot reboot recovery
As gordon0001 said, you can do factoryreset.
you can also try dload method.
My phone starts immediately in fastboot mode. I can't boot recovery using this command. This command not found on my version fastboot.exe
Phone not booting to huawei logo, only fastboot mode when connecting the cable to the telephone.
Any help method?
if u have fastboot working, then extract stock recovery from updater.app flash stock recovery to recovery_ramdisk u need stock recovery first, then u can use the fastboot command mentioned above fastboot reboot recovery, then wipe all, then make a restore tru wifi .

I had a similar problem and using the eRecovery to do a full factory reset that you mentioned didn't fix the problem my device just gets sent back to the eRecovery still. By the way my device is not the Huawei P20 Lite, it's the Huawei MediaPad T5.
