Okay guys ...
I tried to install the only available cm rom for honor 7. First I unlocked bootloader, than I installed right TWRP version and than i flashed rom ... but it just ran into bootloop (it doesn't boot up on and on again, it just stocks) ... I messed around, trying to flash old boot.img and recovery.img (from B170 Firmware) but still no way, to get the device boot up normal. also with original honor 7 image ...
i did a backup before where i backed up 3rd modem, boot, cust and system. ... but it doesn't changes anything when I restore ...
Can anybody give me help, how can I get out of this softbrick?
PS: i miss my nexus 4
edit: ok, i found a b121 firmware, image and recovery ... i will try this, but any suggestions are welcome!
there are so many things that you can do, depending on what you did.
if you did a nandroid backup of the stock rom, through twrp, then I would suggest you to flashback twrp and restore.
if not, you have another way
download the not so latest but a decently new full firmware for your device.. there will be an update.app file.
you need to extract that file.. (use huawei update extractor)
after extracting, find recovery.img
then flash that recovery.img(one you just found inside the update.app) using fastboot
now, pull out your sd card and make a folder called dload
and place the downloaded update.app inside it
insert back to your phone
(assuming that your phone is now turned off,) press and hold all the three buttons at once, until you see the honor logo.. then release,
if everything is done right, now your phone should start updating and reboot you back.
i think, this is far easier than fast booting all the three partitions.. good luck
hey,
thanks for your reply!

I did the backup but restoring didn't change anything. What I've done is exactly what you suggested. I extracted the first official available Firware, but I ended up in a bootloop. But with the B380 (not official available) it worked for me
thanks for your help!

i just bricked my phone with script manager,done something wrong.What can i do to unbrick?1 question,can i wipe data/factory reset and phone will be fixed?
What did you mean bricked? Can you turn you phone one, whats happened after this, I think you have only a bootloop. If you can access recovery menu try wipe, if it doesn't help reflash you rom using ODIN.

Your phone is not bricked. You have a minor inconvenience. Wipe everything and flash new firmware.

Choose whatever rom you want and install as normal through recovery. Wipe data/cache/factory reset and install .zip file. Done.

Just to make sure, flash it with a full package. (Zip containing 4 files instead of one big one). It'll turn everything to stock including system format just in case you messed that up. Flash it via ODIN and make sure to follow instructions so you won't have another inconvenience.

Hi Guys,
I've been flashing for a few years (Desire HD, Sensation XE, One X) and now I have a One X+
I've been treading water carefully and I've managed unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and rooted the device (via TWRP)
I did all this the manual way as I'm skeptical of the all in one (I'm old fashioned like that)
However I have some questions:good:
1. Does having TWRP, the bootloader unlocked affect my ability to receive OWA updates? (I'm still running stock ROM)
2. All that's left now is to do a backup, get a ROM , copy the ROM over, go into recovery, flash the boot.img, wipe the phone then flash the new ROM?
Cheers guys
If you are old fashioned, then why do you go for TWRP not the CWM?
1. This should not affect the ability for the OTA, but I'm not 100% sure.
2. Yes, you do a backup, flash the boot.img, wipe the phone and flash the new rom. Or first you can wipe and install ROM, then reboot in to bootloader and flash boot.img. You can do both ways in TWRP, does not matter. But to not reboot in to rom before you flash both.

Why should he go for an untested, unreliable, unsupported and outdated recovery?
TWRP was again updated couple days ago, I strongly suggest to stick with the TWRP recovery.
I don't know... if he is as he call himself "old fashioned" - CMW if far older recovery, that TWRP. I don't know about the updates, may be there is nothing to update, so they stopped? And TWRP still has some bugs, so everyone waiting for updates. I don't know... all about old fashioned, that was my point.

I went with TWRP because it seems it's the more popular choice, I didn't vouch for the all in one tool kit because I like to do this the manual way.
Currently got a stock ROM, with ROOT + TWRP. I haven't flahsed yet due to the number of issues I see appearing on this forum with so called 'bricked' devices, there was never this many for the desire hd/sensation/One x.
I'm pretty sure the way to flash from this point would be
1. Download ROM and place it on the phone
2. Take a backup via recovery
3. Flash boot.img
4. Wipe phone
5. Install ROM
6 Reboot
Does this sound correct?
just remember NEVER wipe "internal storage" or "format data" within recovery

This is assuredly in direct relation with the majority of those cases.
People want to root and customize with a Swiss knife tool and I can assure you that something is wrong to do it with this tool. If you read all the so called "bricked my..." threads, they all were using this all in one tool, then something wen't wrong and they can't figure out what could be the cause simply because they haven't read, they don't know the basics of those procedures or they don't have any king of prerequisite installed in their computer. The tool is supposedly "doing all for them". Except debugging the procedure when everything goes bad.
It is so simple and rewarding to do all this -the old fashioned way- also if something suddenly goes bonk, it's so easy to know exactly where the procedure is failing.
----
As for your procedure it is all good, in Recovery when you have a backup of your actual ROM, in the Wipe menu select Factory Reset, then after select System. You're all good to flash your new ROM after that.
Don't forget to : fastboot erase cache after your boot.img flashing.
Have fun!

I've got to the point now where I've got CM10 on the phone (not installed) and I've got the boot.img in the same folder as the fastboot.
If memory servers me correctly:
I should boot into recovery
hit fastboot
flash the boot.img via command line
go into recovery
factory reset/wipe cache
install ROM
reboot
Apologies if I'm being very tentative, I'm just making sure. I have done a backup while in TWRP (If the flash goes wrong can I simply restore from recovery using that backup?)
I'm into two minds to do this, I miss installing custom ROM's but I don't want to ruin the phone. If only there was a video tutorial !!!!!
You should have all you need in this tutorial watch the last section of it.

Hi Narakera, I have answered that issue in this thread, have a read and if something is not clear ask in that thread I will try to help you.
Hello,
I used full data wipe on my Honor 9 to remove decryption... now after restart the phone I'm in bootloop (Unlocked Bootloader message shows up --->Huawei Animation shows up--> Phone restarting and boots to Huawei Recovery)...
To fix it I already tried to flash the SYSTEM.IMG from B130 Firmware (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/firmware-honor-9-stf-l09c432-b130-2017-t3649673) (Before I had B100 Firmware on my Phone)
....
Also tried multiple times to Factory Reset in TWRP, wipe manually Cache/Data/Dalvik
Didn't help... still exact same problem...
I can:
- Access TWRP
- Access Fastboot mode
- Access Stock Recovery
I would be glad if any (pro) could help me to restore my phone... Would pay you also 10€ via Paypal if it works...
Thank you!---------------------------
FIXED THE PROBLEM SOME MINUTES AFTER OPEN THE THREAD LOL
HOW IT GOT FIXED
--->Wiped also INTERNAL STORAGE
Yes it was that easy lol.
.... Also successful booted the upgraded unconfirmed B130 System Image (Still shows B100 in settings but succesful flashed it in Fastboot...)...
Pleas explain more detailed? I'got the same problem as you described, but no sucsess with wiping or trying to restore with twrp/dload-method with c432b120 or c432b130. If there any other ideas, thx a lot!

Ever that you think to start to flash something onto your device is recommendable to backup at least some critical partitions like EFS, modem, maybe bootloader so if something goes wrong you can solve it.
Now as you need to format data and this will erase partitions like data and 0 (sdcard) in the case you have some important files (musics, pictures and others) you could need to backup them before to start the process.
Miui roms is decrypted by default so in order to can reboot you need to format data.

Done already. I just had to wipe out everything first
I have a Sony Xperia XZ Premium and i decided to enter the world of tinkering with my device. I successfully unlocked by bootloader, installed TWRP but as i was figuring out how it all worked something went wrong. i can no longer boot into my device (its stuck on the sony/carrier boot screen) and i belive that i may have completely removed by OS from my device. A website told me that i should to something with changing the file system and i think that has something to do with it. I have tries re-installing a stock rom but i cant seem to get it to work (I am noob). When i try to flash the zip it says 'invalid zip file format!' i really dont know what to do. Any help would be grealty appreciated as this is my only phone. I dont care if it has to be reset to factory settings.
THANK YOU.

First, let's start with the small stuff, just in case. Try booting into TWRP and select the Wipe option, then select advanced wipes, then choose only the cache partition and the dalvik cache partition, DO NOT choose any other partitions, after choosing cache and dalvik cache, swipe the slidee at the bottom to run the wipes, then reboot the device.
The stock .zip that you tried to flash probably isn't made for flashing via TWRP. It is probably meant for extracting the .zip to get the flashable form of your stock firmware and then flashing that firmware using your device's specific flashing tool on PC. Flashing the firmware will remove TWRP. After you get the firmware flashed and you get the device working again, you will have to reinstall TWRP the same way you did the first time. When you get TWRP reinstalled, immediately use the Backup option in TWRP to create a backup of everything on your device(do not include internal storage in the backup). Store that backup on your external sdcard and/or on your PC. Do this BEFORE you attempt any kind of modification ms to the device. This backup can be used to restore your device if you mess it up again.
After creating the backup and storing it in a safe place, then you can try making the modifications that you were originally trying to do.

Your phone's Android 7 has neither a Dalvik cache nor an ART cache. TWRP is misleading in this respect.

Yes I managed to do this. The only problem now is that my phone is on Android 7. Before it was on Android 9. I've went to the software update section on the phone but there's no update available. Will I have to flash an android 9 ROM to get the update or will it eventually come to my phone
Thanks

Moving from one Android version ( e.g. 7 ) to another one ( e.g. 9 ) istn't an update but an upgrade.
Don't think your phone's OEM/Carrier automatically supply an upgrade, but only updates if recognized to be necessary.
IMHO in case of Android 9 for your phone is not provided by OEM/Carrier, you have to flash a Custom ROM based on Android 9.

Find the android 9 firmware for your device and flash it via flashtool.
