Okay, download the stock ROM of your phone online and copy it onto your phone, then wipe data, then flash it.

You don't need TWRP.
Do you have an SD card and an SD slot?

Which one don't you have, an SD slot or SD card?

i dont have a sd card but i also dont think it has a sd slot, i cant check since i dont have anything to open the sim slot

Ok, you need a PC and adb tools installed.
Download the stock and follow this video (click on the word "video" to visit the video) after installing the ADB tools on your PC.

okay ill try it

After you install ADB on your computer, plug your phone into your computer and run "adb devices". It might take a bit for the command to list your phone as it has to start the ADB server first. Once you see it, copy the full filepath of your stock ROM, and run "adb push ROMLOCATION /sdcard/"

adb: error: connect failed: closed

Did you install the USB drivers?

can you install custom recovery?
this is new but use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971245
all the data in my phone are gone. is there still a need for custom recovery? and what do i do after custom recovery?
all the info you need is in this thread including custom recovery. After the custom recovery is done you shall beableto try out any of the ROMs listed there. follow the instructions to the letter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
oh, the key combo to access your custom rom(once it is done) is Home+Volume Down+Power Button It even gives you the option to connect in usb mode so you can put the ROM you want and then disable usb mode and go back to main menu then choose flash from zip.

i've tried reading all the guides. the problem is, i don't understand lots of things for example, partition the SD card.
1.Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.
i understand the (swap: 0, ext: 512) part, but not the rest. sorry. im a beginner at these
all those options are available to you in the custom recovery. choose partition card.

It's not bricked, I think you need to reinstall a recovery. I recommend TWRP 2.5 instead of 2.6 because 2.5 has no bugs. Try to restore your nandroid backup (if you haven't any try one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324815 and choose your cid) and then flash SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

And it basically bricked it so hold vol down and power boot into h boot go to recovery it will boot you into twrp check to see if you do have that supersu.zip if you have it flash it and you dont have s-off look in that rom package and find the kernel (boot.img) flash it and wipe your dalvic cache and your cache and it should boot into that rom but if you dont have that supersu.zip you mite have to side load it then flash it

Turn your phone into fastboot mode (holding power and volume down when turning on) and plug it into your pc.
Extract the zip file and run ''Install Boot.img.bat'' and reboot

Honor 9,No Os, No TWRP, No fastboot.

So after a while of tinkering with my Honor 9 trying to flash Supersu via TWRP everything got messed up.
Tried doing a clean install, and that made everything worse.
So now i am stuck with no TWRP Recovery and cannot load the Fastboot. Only option available now is Huawei eRecovery through wifi that obviously doesnt work, and forced recovery (vol+ and vol- and powerbutton) which is also not working trying to flash with stockrom.
So what can i do now? am i missing something?

Do you have your PC connected via USB to your phone when trying to boot to fastboot?
completely power off phone, then hold vol-down and plug in USB cable... this should boot you into fastboot, try and flash TWRP from there, although, if you dont have the required files on your device (or any way to get them onto it) you are not in a good situation.
something similar happened to me the other day, and this got me into fastboot where i could flash a system.img (or use HWOTA or whatever it is), though i had TWRP installed, but no OS.

Yeah, did that now and it worked. Although my previous attempts doing this nothing happened. But i am in the fastboot now atleast, bad news is that my device doesnt come up when using the apb devices command.
Any tips on what to do now? i suppose my device isnt showing because i cant use debug mode?

There's a lot of options on this forum if you have fastboot access and TWRP. So you should be able to get back to where you were before tinkering.
I recommend an external SD card reader to get necessary files on a SD card.

You should be able to flash it in fastboot though. If your fastboot is locked and frp is locked, you have a problem.
Not sure if recovery in Hisuite might be an option.

So another problem, cant move bigger files than 4gb to the SD card. And cant format in NTFS because it seems like the phone wont take it.
but using a tempfile from a failed transfer the install at least starts, and ofcourse fails after a while since its incomplete. But how can i transfer the UPDATE.APP file to the card?

From what I read before, fastboot boot will only boot to that recovery file temporarily but I haven't tried it myself. It should be
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I'm not 100% sure it will work without problems, but if it did, your data will not be wiped.
I suggest you wait for someone else to answer coz I'm not expert. I only learned from guides in the telegram group.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I'm not 100% sure it will work without problems, but if it did, you're data will not be wiped.
I suggest you wait for someone else to answer coz I'm not expert. I only learned from guides in the telegram group.

Sorry for a lot of questions, haha

You can try, first, if fastboot works in your device, type adb reboot fastboot, once the script ends, quickly disconnect device from your PC and again reconnect it, you will be redirected to fastboot, if the bootloader is unlocked, you could flash it using fastboot commands.
If you can´t get it to work then you can flash it using SPFT https://spflashtool.com/, put the recovery, in the same folder, with the attached files. All the sources to can use the tool, here https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/

I have never used SPFlashTool before honestly, I'm just scared to break my phone or lost my data in it. I just wish to install a custom ROM

Most of the custom roms I've seen requires formatting data. Just to be sure have you unlocked bootloader already? That requires wiping data iirc.
If not then nothing will really work with what you're doing.

What you are saying now is totally different from what you firstly posted.
Installing a custom ROM doesn't require a stock recovery (just in case you are confusing), and obviously, to can switch from a stock ROM to a custom ROM, that has a total different basement, it's mandatory to format data, anyway, you should back up your data previously to do so.

Then you can root your phone 1st then backup your files to a computer and use migrate backup to backup app data. Note that migrate backup is limited to 4gb. Then do the fastboot flash i mentioned before

Why you are saying that you cannot install a working recovery, I don't know of any attempt you did to achieve it.
A stock recovery is not needed to install a custom ROM, and even you can't install a custom ROM using a stock recovery.
If you want to join, flashing your device and stuff like this, better learn how to use SPFT, also you have this tool https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient, this can save your device, if something in the process goes wrong.

OK, then what you are trying to install is an "old" Android 10 based ROM, if this is the case, then just download a stock Android 10 ROM, flash it through SPFT, then use SPFT to flash the custom recovery, transfer the custom ROM to your external SD Card (preferably) or sideload it, through recovery, and flash it. In the process you need to unlock bootloader, and immediately to flash the custom recovery, boot to it, using hardware buttons.

Alright so, it might sound funny but I think I fixed it. I was playing with my downloaded recoveries until I downloaded the stock recovery, it is compatible but when I do fastboot reboot recovery I get stuck at Orange State for like 30min and it boots me into the recovery so does anyone know a solution for this? And thank you for everything and sorry for wasting y'all's time. Sincereley.

You have to boot to recovery using hardware buttons (PWR + vol. down), in regard to orange state, this is absolutely normal when bootloader was unlocked, it's not an issue but a cosmetic thing.
