So either I suck or I literally have the process wrong, but I was trying to install 6.0.1 last night for 2 hours. Originally I had 6.0 installed rooted, twrp, etc. OTA didnt work because I'm guessing twrp was installed as it errored out. So I decided to take WUG downloaded the binaries/newest stuff and decided to just manually flash 6.0.1. However at the same time I wanted to use the decrypter tool here.
My process was/is:
Flash Stock/Unroot button in WUG (with newest 6.0.1 already downloaded
Root button and flash customer recovery button/checkbox
Flash the perm recovery zip, supersu, and busybox
Flash the decrypter zip
Wipe data/cache/system/davik/etc and then freshly reboot
The problem is, it just hangs on the animation screen and never loads. I've tried it twice now, and its driving me insane. Where could I have went wrong? What is flawed about my process or maybe I'm using the wrong stuff. Thank you in advance guys!

I don't think the NRT is updated to properly root on 6.0.1 (Could be wrong).
Get the Latest SuperSU-v2.62-3 and flash that, It will modified the boot.img for you and include no forced encryption.
As long as you remove the encryption of the data partion in twrp from this guide
You shouldn't need the decrypter zip, also if you flash TWRP and boot into it before booting the system, you also won't need perm recovery.
Going by what I have read, still encrypted on my Device.

ok so everytime I flash the supersu, it does its thing, then I format data, the reboot and twrp says supersu is not installed, do you wanna install it now? You can swipe to install or do not install.
Which I dont get becuase clearly I flashed the supersu zip a sec ago. if I continue to just flash it like it says, when I boot up, all I see in my drawer is the "SuperSU Installer" I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. If I dont have twrp install it when it asks, I got nothing in my app drawer
think I may have gotten it, had to download supersu from play store, then reflash, then let twrp flash it when it says it needed too, not I can launch supersu from the app drawer and it works.
Next problem is encryption. Under security it still says "Encrypted" do I need to actually hit the "Format Data' button in twrp? I just did a factory wipe slide.

From the linked SuperSU thread said:
If TWRP offers you to keep /system read-only, indeed keep it read-only.
If TWRP tells you SuperSU is not installed, and asks you to install it, do not do it, you will break things!

This is do with the new systemless root and TWRP needs to be updated to reflect this change.

From the linked guide above said:
11.Once in TWRP, hit “cancel” when asked for the password and then erase/wipe data and make sure MTP is enabled (dig around the menus in TWRP, it’s all in there somewhere). This erases the encrypted partition and allows you to use adb to push files to your sdcard.

Answers in quoted messages.
Never had to get SuperSU app from the store, maybe because I already had it installed, the app is also in the SuperSU zip.
Hi all people,
first of all, I want excuse me for not my perfect English.
I have Honor 9 from few days. And I think to have bricked it.
I have unlocked bootloader correctly.
I have flashed recovery this TWRP recovery with the intention to proceed to root with Magisk or SuperSu. I accidentally and unconsiuosly do factory reset then the phone goes bootloop. (it power off and power on continuously) with the alert "your device has been unlocked and..etc".
Yesterday, reading this thread, I flashed, from fastboot console, boot, recovery and system, the phone resets two/three times then goes to eRecovery where I do a factory reset.
After a factory reset the phone works correctly and seems successfully unbricked. So I re-flash TWRP recovery.
But this morning, during the attempt to install from TWRP one between Magisk or SuperSu (I don't succeed to do it beacuse the phone was crypted and I don't see zip files from TWRP). I have reset the phone but goes bootloop again.
I tried to re-flash boot, recovery, system and cust more (that I don't have flashed yesterday). Now the phone goes eRecovery and ask me to connect to download latest version and recovery, but don't ask me to do a factory reset.
Now I don't know what I can do.
How I can solve this situation? I want only unlock bootloader (done!), install TWRP and have root permission. Now I don't think to change rom.
Something similar happened to me. It seems like the TWRP provided has some issue..... After installing TWRP I had a bootloop problem. I have resolved installing Magisk. It seems that Magisk patchs something. If you can access TWRP try to install Magisk (put the zip file on external sd). In other words: copy magisk zip on sd card - during the bootloop you have the chance to power off phone - Power off - Power on in recovery mode. If you have TWRP correctly installed Honor should go in recovery using TWRP . Install Magisk and see what happens...

I have tried to flash TWRP recovery again to do install Magisk from sd card. I have done it but the phone doesn't work fine.
So I have put rommco05 TWRP Backup into sd card then restored it from TWRP restore (boot and vendor img). Now the phone seems have bootloader locked, in fact I don't have bootloader warning at the power on. Now in fastboot mode the phone says me that I have Phone locked and FRP unlocked.
How can I exit from this situation?
Try this

I have unlocked bootloader again and do a factory reset from TWRP recovery, now the phone seems works correctly!!!:good:
Now I should try to root the phone with Magisk or SuperSu, right?
I have a question about TWRP. From TWRP's file manager I don't see the files that I put in the internal memory. It's because I have used finger print to lock the phone that encryptes files?

This is to re-brand the phone from Chinese to EU version...I don't think is my case.

Take a backup before make root. You don't see files because is some issue with decryption in TWRP. I achieved root with Magisk but I don't remember exactly steps

I think it's too late
Anyway I can re-flash all thing from begin.
Then I can't use TWRP with the phone encrypted ( PIN, password, fingerprint, etc...) ?

After I have installed Magisk (v14.0) now I have problem with google play services which don't download and do updates apps.
If I do a factory reset again I can solve it?
Update:
After I done a factory reset from TWRP recovery
and formatting data partition the phone seems working perfectly (I don't know why, but before format data the phone says me that I have only 150mb of memory space)
I say "seems" because there's something getting me in trouble, for example, I don't have anymore ringtones in the settings menu.
And I don't know if I have lost something else.
Exists a possibilty to restore all contents of the phone?
You could try this and flash your phone back to stock. But then you would need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP again. Another way would be to unpack an image of your ROM and flash system and other parts via fastboot. Of course this could be risky and you could brick the device.

If I understand it well...
I have 2 options:
1) Rebrand the phone and flashin, then at end I have back the phone stock.
2) Unpack the image of ROM (what it means?) and flash system and other parts via fastboot. (Which are those parts? How?) But this procedure is more hazardous then rebrand procedure?
I have understand right?
1. Yes, correct. I would recommend that. Everything is explained in the thread I linked. Of course everything you do could potentially harm your phone, but you should know that already.
2. Get an update.app file for your specific phone model (there are threads already here, just search a bit, or use Firmware Finder), open it with the Huawei Update Extractor and extract the parts you want to flash (like system or recovery). Then flash them via fastboot. I tried this because I was in a situation like yours, but it didn't work for me. But in theory it could, because you would replace the faulty parts of your firmware.

Hi, I don't say it because I have replaced the phone with another same.
Now I'm starting to unlock bootloader, installing recovery TWRP and rooting the phone.
I hope to avoid bootloop this time.
Goodmorning everyone!
Yesterday I have:
- Unlocked bootloader correctly!
- Installed TWRP correctly!
- Make a TWRP Backup of all partitions of the device, except data partition because TWRP gives me an error during backup attempt.
- Then I start the device.
- After start the device I go to recovery TWRP to install Magisk, but the phone goes bootloop.
After reboot 2-3 times on the screen appears for a few moments a message of eRecovery that have restored something but I don't know. Then the device shows me the eRecovery that asks me to make a factory reset.
At this point I shutdown the device, go in TWRP to flash Magisk unistaller and the device goes out bootloop and works fine but without root.
How I can solve this problem and install Magisk and have root finally?
Some question:
-When I flashed TWRP (via fastboot) and I configurate it, example language, hours, etc... TWRP don't save the settings, in fact when I go in TWRP again I do remake the settings. Why?
-Then I go in sdcard I don't navigate files, I see folders with casual characters. This is an effect of encryption of the device?

Answers to all your concerns go here mate---> TWRP doesn't decrypt data. Done.
Hence: weird folders in there, nowhere to store its settings prefs, about Magisk it's another story, if you want root go SuperSU latest beta.
Regards.
a basically did what that guy did, got root installed via TWRP but my google apps are all busted.
I tried flashing the update_data_full_public.zip and update_full_hw_usa.zip I found using the russian device lookup link switching trick but I the HW errored when I tried to flash it in TWRP and my play store still broken.
I have flashed the twrp recovery and the supersu zip but the supersu app is never there even tho it says its successfull and everytime i try to go back to twrp its gone and back to mi recovery instead. I domnt understand what i am doing wrong.
The bootloader is unlocked and says its unlocked in settings, i flashed twrp in adb and it was successful but it only works if i go straight from fastboot to recovery, if i reboot the phone then try and go to recovery its gone again.
Just use magisk instead of SuperSU.
It prevents recovery replacement and works better.

Thanks, it worked. Guess ill have to break the habbit and move away from supersu.
i've installed twrp on a new c11 pro,then magisk and everything worked fine.
suddenly i've lost root access and rebooted to twrp to reinstall it.nothing helped,so i decided to try a new rom.
any rom i install booting me back to twrp.
entering fastboot looks like device is halted'and not recognized.
i tried wiping cache&dalvik,factory reset,always get back top twrp.
any idea what to do?
Hello,
I have a H830tmobile, have had LineageOS for the past 7 months, but recently figured out I didnt have TWRP when trying to find a system file. While trying to install it, I got dumb and bricked my phone.
Thankfully I unbricked it that time, installed vannila ROM H83020i and downgraded to H83020a. I downgraded because it didnt let me use most fastboot commands and couldn't flash TWRP(flashing,booting,...), keep in mind it didn't let me on LineageOS too.
After that I rooted it using Hard Recovwery Method and flashed TWRP. Everything was going great until now, I found out that my phone doesnt show up on PC while in TWRP, would show up without problems in adb or fastboot. After continuing on through the guide, I formatted data, went back to boot into system and got a message that encryption was unsuccesful. Rebooted back into TWRP, searched for a fix and factory reset the phone, didn't help. I read that I should reformat only the System to ext4, did that and phone is without OS and boots endlessly. While trying to go into recovery mode through fastboot commands, it only sends me into endless boot and I can not get into TWRP and even if I could, I wouldn't be able to flash LineageOS as my phone just doesn't show up on PC.
Is this saveable or not?
ok booted into vanilla os again through uppercut, gonna try flashing lineageos only this time
