Apologies if I should have searched harder. My understanding is that touch screen issues like this happen when the firmware you flash isn't quite compatible with your device. I've triple checked the stuff I downloaded, and I'm not seeing how it could be that. Maybe I did something else stupid? This is my first time rooting anything.
Product/Variant (as seen in bootloader): sofia XT2041-4 64GB PVT
The boot.img I downloaded: lolinet's firmware/moto/sofia/official/RETUS/ (the august 31 one. Currently trying with the earlier one, but the download is taking forever)
Magisk version: 7.5.1
I only have a linux laptop, so the rescue and smart assistant appears to be off the table
Here's what I did:
Downloaded the boot.img from lolinet
patched it using magisk
flashed it using fastboot
How I flashed it:
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805261312 bytes
sending 'boot_b' (12136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.376s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.069s]
finished. total time: 0.446s
I booted up after this, and I couldn't use the touchscreen. Then I noticed the boot_b thing, so I did the following to do both partitions (although I have no idea if this is what you're supposed to do):
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805261312 bytes
sending 'boot_a' (12136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.350s]
writing 'boot_a'...
OKAY [ 0.076s]
finished. total time: 0.425s
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805261312 bytes
sending 'boot_b' (12136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.370s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.214s]
finished. total time: 0.584s
No dice..
Next, I tried to just use the unpatched boot.img to restore things.
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot_a XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPMS30.80-109-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml/boot.img
target reported max download size of 805259264 bytes
sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.908s]

~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot_b XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPMS30.80-109-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml/boot.img
target reported max download size of 805259264 bytes
sending 'boot_b' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.949s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.525s]
finished. total time: 2.474s
once again, no dice..this time I didn't even get to the lockscreen. Just stuck on the moto logo
Any idea what I've done wrong? Would really appreciate some help with this.
Update: I tried with the other boot.img from lolinet, doesn't get to lockscreen. Then I tried a factory reset with twrp, and flashing the earlier boot.img and I got to the setup screen, but still no touch.
Update 2: I managed to get omnirom flashed, and that's working so far! I am still curious to know why the touch screen issues popped up..will be useful next time I want to flash stock
check the forums for the g7 play, I've found topics about that kind of issue.
There's a few touchscreen vendors used for the same device, and they use different drivers basically.
Got a link by any chance? The ones I've seen are twrp related or because of the wrong firmware.
Any idea how to figure out which set is right for my phone?
Here is solution: get full ROM through LMSA and flash components through bootloader and fastbootd
* boot, recovery, dtbo, vbmeta, super flashed in fastbootd (adb reboot fastboot)
* All other actions done in bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)

Can this be done without fastbootd? i stupidly flashed twrp (which doesnt work). so I dont have stock recovery to get into fastbootd. Can this be done using regular fastboot?
Or any way to flash a stock rom using just fastboot? the rom i have does not have 'flash all' so im not sure what to do from here.
If you get the recovery image from lolinet, you can boot that (or flash recovery) and then enter fastbootd

Solution:
Flash everything ***except*** those flashed in fastbootd
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
The last resort: use LMSA rescue, but your phone will be wiped

when you say flash everything. is it just flashing the .img files? or literally everything?
Sorry, ive never had to manually flash before.

Hello friend,
Did you ever resolve your issue with the touchscreen?
I've just down the same thing using Magisk. Everything was fine until I flashed the magisk.patched.img. The device booted up but the touchscreen doesn’t work no matter what.
Please let me know of your solution.
Thank you kindly.

Okay here's my situation my phone was rooted, bootloader unlocked I was on stock rooted lollipop my phone turned off on its own it got stuck in a boot loop . I was going to flash lollipop again notice recovery didn't load so I went to fastboot and tried to flash twrp-2.8.7.0 it loaded but then it froze at start up of twrp tried again and the same. So I tried a newer recovery twrp 2.8.70 this one didn't load all the way neither same for twrp3.0.0.0 so after all that I just said screw it I'm going stock. So I booted to download mode and use lgup lollipop .kdz method everything loaded up fine. I noticed my boot loader got locked Rom loaded up and before I can finish the initial setup phone rebooted again. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop,no download mode it just reboots when launched and locked bootloader. Can't unlock it in fastboot any suggestions on what to do?
Sorry for being so long been on it for two days. HELP HELP HELP HELP PLZ PLZ
*UPDATE*
okay by the grace of god for some reason it was stuck on boot start up"lg screen left it for about an hour and nothing so i did a pull battery and the phone was hot to the touch so i just gave up on it and put the battery back in and for some dam reason it booted up long enough for me to get to the developers option check unlock oem and usb debugging snd after 30 minutes of working just fine i noticed it had MM6.0??? dont know how that wa'Ys done???? confused on that??? but any hoo the dam phone rebooted after the play store tried to update. and this time i got a "Your device Software cant be checked for corruption??? but i am able to boot to download mode and fastboot mode and unlocked bootloader but still cant flash twrp????

Your phone probably tried to update by itself. You should probably use lgup to return to stock since you can get to download mode now. Follow this thread to root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/step-step-guide-rooting-lg-v10-using-t3382631

Okay I have pin pointed the problem it's hardware issue it only boots up if the phone is hot What do I do now? As long as the phone is hot it works that's why I couldn't boot recovery download mode. Cause the phone would stop working freeze all the time.:good:

Hello everyone!
I tried to install CM13 nightly on my brand new Honor 5X. Followed the process, installed TWRP 3.0.2 bootloader and then the CM13 and Google Apps zips. When I booted the phone I saw the blue face for CM, but the phone never booted and kept rebooting! I tried to launch in TRWP recovery mode, but the swipe is locked and I can not go back to the install menu. TWRP is completely unresponsive no matter how i swipe or press the volume/power button. Why is TWRP like that?

When the twrp boots up, let the phone alone until the screen turns off. Press power and see if it starts working.
This usually does the trick for me.

I had faced this multiple times . I used get a jerk in my body if touch dint won't on twrp . almost phone in dead state and we still had to ability to access fastboot but twrp never work and even other recoveries .
So my solution is just soo easy .
Twrp touch failure is caused due to the kernal in Cyanogenmod .
So , just flash the stock boot.IMG and tadaaa .
Reboot to twrp and that's it .
And I may not be the only one ,but am just boosting the OP's anxiety and confidence levels making him aware that his phone is still alive .
Take it easy my frn . Am not a god to know everything , and I always try to live civil.thanks for your advice and I will take it sportive .

Then just point it out to me straight using the words "You are wrong" with the explanation, why do you think so...
It will make me learn that my approach is wrong and will make me learn something new.
Using a direct and honest approach is much better than a sarcastic one. IMHO.

Guys,
Thanks, I will keep trying with your recommendations, here is where I left yesterday:
My issue is that TWRP does not recognize any touch event and I cannot swipe to unlock it and go to the menus. Not sure how it happened, but it used to work initially.
Out of desperation, I downloaded the US stock firmware from Huawei, placed the UPADTE.APPP under /sdcard/dload/update.zip
When I boot now (power+ volume up) I see a circle EMUI initial screen and some menus in Chinese (which I don't understand). With the volume, I am able to switch to the next menu where it discovers all wireless networks around me. But, I cannot select mine network with touching the screen, and the EMUI recovery does not work with the volume.
At this point my concern is that somehow I broke the phone as it is not responding to screen touch events. Could that be the reason why I cannot unlock TWRP?
I can install CM13 recovery image or TWRP any time, but that's about it - I cannot run CM13 (rebooted all the time and now TWRP is toast) or put back the stock firmware (blocked swipe on the screen items).

If u have twrp backup ..
Open the backup
Rename boot.ext4.win to boot.img
(U can also extract any marshmallow boot.IMG from update.app)
Put it in fastboot folder
Then put ur phone in fastboot mode
Type this command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Later type this command .
Fastboot reboot
And come back up to recovery.
Tada. It will work now.

...Tried to follow your instructions, but no luck
1. I don't have TWRP backup. So, I downloaded the latest HUAWEI Honor 5x stock: (KIW-L24, Android 6.0.1,EMUI 4.0,C567D003,United States)
2. Extracted UPDATE.APP first, and then extracted boot.IMG from it.
3. Deployed the boot.img:
? platform-tools ./fastboot flash boot ~/Downloads/BOOT.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'boot' (44266 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.407s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.698s]
finished. total time: 2.105s
4. Deployed TWRP recovery:
? platform-tools ./fastboot flash recovery ~/Downloads/twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45202 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.438s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.713s]
finished. total time: 2.151s
5. Rebooted the phone - it keeps rebooting endlessly :
? platform-tools ./fastboot reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.002s
5. Reboot the phone in recovery mode (power+Vol Up+Vol Down)
TWRP comes with the lock on the screen. No touch events, swipe as before. Dead as a door nail again!
6. Desperate, I also tried to deploy the CM13 recovery:
? platform-tools ./fastboot flash recovery ~/Downloads/cm-13.0-20161216-NIGHTLY-kiwi-recovery.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (48114 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.517s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.751s]
finished. total time: 2.268s
This works - I am able to boot in CM recovery now, but the CM recovery tools is pretty useless and limited. Well, at least it does not rely on the touch screen and one can access the items ...
... So I am even more frustrated now with the whole experience. This process was not supposed to be such a descent into a black hole .
My thinking is that my Honor 5x lost its touch screen permanently due to this CM endeavors.
Also, is there any problem that it is a Chinese model (KIW-UL00) and I used US stock image in step 1 ?
Any other ideas?
i can say that u flashed US version which might have wrong display driver ! .. u need to go back to the stock as same what came with the phone
use full software dload or flash it throw fastboot after extracting update.app .
this link might help u . just make account and download the latest update .
Honor 5X KIW-UL00 - B239

...Tried to follow your instructions, but no luck
1. I don't have TWRP backup. So, I downloaded the latest HUAWEI Honor 5x stock: (KIW-L24, Android 6.0.1,EMUI 4.0,C567D003,United States)
2. Extracted UPDATE.APP first, and then extracted boot.IMG from it.
3. Deployed the boot.img:
? platform-tools ./fastboot flash boot ~/Downloads/BOOT.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'boot' (44266 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.407s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.698s]
finished. total time: 2.105s
4. Deployed TWRP recovery:
? platform-tools ./fastboot flash recovery ~/Downloads/twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45202 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.438s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.713s]
finished. total time: 2.151s
5. Rebooted the phone - it keeps rebooting endlessly :
? platform-tools ./fastboot reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.002s
5. Reboot the phone in recovery mode (power+Vol Up+Vol Down)
TWRP comes with the lock on the screen. No touch events, swipe as before. Dead as a door nail again!
6. Desperate, I also tried to deploy the CM13 recovery:
? platform-tools ./fastboot flash recovery ~/Downloads/cm-13.0-20161216-NIGHTLY-kiwi-recovery.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (48114 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.517s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.751s]
finished. total time: 2.268s
This works - I am able to boot in CM recovery now, but the CM recovery tools is pretty useless and limited. Well, at least it does not rely on the touch screen and one can access the items ...
... So I am even more frustrated now with the whole experience. This process was not supposed to be such a descent into a black hole .
My thinking is that my Honor 5x lost its touch screen permanently due to this CM endeavors.
Also, is there any problem that it is a Chinese model (KIW-UL00) and I used US stock image in step 1 ?
Any other ideas?

Bro , please flash boot.img of stock ROM in boot partition n
And keep twrp in recovery partition and reboot to recovery will fix
Don't flash cm recovery .
Do this way.
Flash stock ROM boot.img in to boot partition first .
Now reboot to recovery . touch will work then

Hi,
Last week I got my phone stuck in a bootloop which led to me making a lot of mistakes, I flashed a boot.img as a kernel, I deleted my entire software, and I lost a lot of files. I currently have my phone in an error mode, it says I have to update the system again. I have access to fastboot but I do not have access to twrp (flashing the recovery doesn't work).
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Is a really fastboot mode or error mode?
If it is fastboot what you see, Phone unlocked and FRP unlock?

I can get in both fastboot and error mode, I think fastboot is the most useful. It says PHONE Unlocked and FRP unlocked.

-Do you know exactly which files or partitions did you mess?
-What is your region code and build number?
If you don’t know run this command is fastboot mode => fastboot oem get-build-number
-Do you have a TWRP backup from your device?

I don't know for sure which parts I messed up, but I do know these thing: I don't have an OS installed, and my kernel is a boot.img.
I don't know my region number for sure, but according to this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/8-lite/how-to/huawei-regional-codes-t3740473 it should be C432.
My build number is ANE-LX1 8.0.0.126 (C432) and I should have a TWRP backup on my sd card from the moment my phone was only bootlooping.

Do you have currently TWRP installed?
-Boot in the TWRP recovery and restore your backup.
-If your backup don't have all partitions let me know and I'll send you what is missing.
If you currently don't have TWRP installed?
-Go to fastboot mode and flash this TWRP
If boot then should be ok.
If remains bootlooping then you can wipe cache and reboot
If remains bootlooping you can test flash B126 with HuRUpdater

I can't install TWRP, I currently install it by flashing the file as a recovery_ramdisk.
After it is flashed I execute the command fastboot reboot and hold volume up whilst disconnecting my phone from my PC.
Do you have any tips?

I don't believe that fastboot boot can work...
That is strange...
Can you flash TWRP one more time?
After successful flash don't use the command fastboot reboot
Unplug the USB cable and press ON/OFF and VOL+ and stay pressings until you see TWRP screen.

For those that have issues with the programme, I had to uncheck the verify header checksum button in the settings file in order for it to work properly.

My TWRP is completely lost and the tool doesn't seem to work, I wiped data cache and dalvik.
When you flash a rom aren't you just supposed to flash the rom itself, when I bricked my phone by installing Xposed I just reflashed the rom it's sytem image and a boot image. How should I do it?
Hi guys , i was running AOSIP PIE rooted and bootloader unlocked. I did an update of Magisk. And then i couldn't flash twrp it was not working , i could still boot phone normally and phone run smooth. Someone told me to flash TWRP with flashify and i did. Here the problems started , i started having error , can't boot anywhere etc...
I followed this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/guide-erecovery-hisuite-failing-to-t3932203/ for last solution .
But unfortunatly i can't flash VENDOR.img in fastboot , i can flash all except VENDOR.img it says

First, in TWRP, advance wipe everything! Now, you need a pc, connect the phone to PC with a USB, on pc, download any ROM you want (and gapps if you want) now transfer the files to your phone and then flash them, izi,
Thumbs up if I was useful.

Try reinstalling stock firmware trough download mode...
Try reinstalling the twrp image. Helped me once
I'm trying to root my Pixel 3 and my device is stuck on the white google loading screen after flashing the patched boot file.
Here is what I've done so far:
Downloaded the boot image -> Installed Magisk on my phone -> patched the boot image -> booted into Fastboot -> flashed the patched boot image -> then my phone restarted and has been stuck on the white google loading screen.
If I hold the volume down button and the power button, my screen goes to the Fastboot mode. Then if I try to power off and start the phone, I get back to the white google loading screen which doesn't change.
Heres the logs from terminal if that provides any info:
(base) [email protected] android % ./fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Sending 'boot_b' (31860 KB) OKAY [ 0.310s]
Writing 'boot_b' OKAY [ 0.258s]
Finished. Total time: 0.837s
(base) [email protected] android % ./fastboot reboot
Rebooting OKAY [ 0.080s]
Finished. Total time: 0.080s
Anyone have any ideas? everything was going smoothly until this point so not sure what I've done wrong. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
@MHuncho
Looks like the boot-loader got broken. Not unusal when flashing a system-less framework as Magisk. Probably dm-verity was enabled when you flashed Magisk's boot.img.
My advice: Try to re-flash Stock ROM.

Thanks for the reply but slight issue. I got impatient and tried another solution which was:

Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.494s]
Sending 'boot_b' (31860 KB) OKAY [ 0.200s]
Writing 'boot_b' OKAY [ 0.192s]
Finished. Total time: 1.760s
Now my device is stuck in a loop on the Fastboot Mode screen with following info:
Device state: unlocked
Boot slot: a
Enter Reason is: "no valid slot to boot'.
Also my device is now NOT recognised by my laptop so I'm unable to re-flash stock ROM as you suggested or do anything. sigh... I shouldn't have rushed.
@MHuncho
Congrats ... This is the price that people who think they must put up a better (?) ROM than that what gets pre-installed by OEM/Carrier - in their R&D department there are certainly no idiots sitting around - pay.

Slight success, after restarting my laptop, my device is now recognised but my devices is not found when I do ./adb devices and it is found when I do ./fastboot devices. Hence I'm unable to do the command ./adb reboot Bootloader and start the flashing stock ROM. I get the following when I do ./adb reboot Bootloader
(base) [email protected] android % ./adb reboot bootloader
error: no devices/emulators found
From research this may be because USB Debugging is not enabled? which I can't do because my device is stuck in fastboot.. ahh pls help

I'm already in fastboot, thats the only thing I can get to regardless of what I do the phone. Either completed off, or in fastboot
apparently I dont need ./adb to flash the factory image so I'll try just using fastboot

Unzip factory image zip and double click flash-all.bat. edit the flash-all.bat by taking off the -w if you don't want to delete data.

wooohoooo finally restored to factory image. I didn't use the .sh file as it was opening in notepad but got it working through terminal! thanks a lot!
I still want to root the phone again so how what would I need to change from my original post in this thread? as said @jwoegerbauer "better (?) ROM than that what gets pre-installed by OEM/Carrier" . does that mean I downloaded and patched the wrong boot image? hence why my phone was stuck in the white google loading screen for 1hour+?

I believe that he was inferring that you are rooting in order to run a custom ROM and that maybe you should have stayed stock.
I don't know where you got your boot image but if you will unzip the image zip that was inside your firmware where you found the flash-all zips you should find the correct boot image to use. First you should enable developer settings and enable USB debugging so you can use USB. What you did sounded correct.
