Hello,
I noticed that many people want to get recovery working on Marshmallow-Beta. Most people don't want to loose there data, settings ....
So I thought about writing a little Tutorial.
We need:
boot.img with included Recovery
TWRP for unlocked Bootloader
FTF of the .264-firmware (you can download it via XperiaFirm (keep in mind selecting your Phone (e.g. D6503))
[URL="http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php"]flashtool and it's latest update
A few GB space on your SD-Card
MM-Beta-Zip
Installed Drivers
Time [/URL]
The first thing we need to do is to backup our Data, but How to do this without Recovery, TitaniumBackup isn't a good solution.
So .. one way would be to flash a boot.img, so we can boot a recovery, which is included into that file
Step1: Shutdown your Phone (you should have at least 50% battery for a safe flash)
Step2: Connect your Phone to your Computer, while pressing the Volume UP Button (if you have a blue light you're now in fastboot-mode)
Step3: flash the boot.img (fastboot flash boot stock-17.1.1.A.0.402-sirius-repack.img via cmd) NOW YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BOOT TO MARSHMALLOW ANYMOREStep4: Connect Phone to PC and backup your Data From internalSD
Enter recovery and make a backup
Step1: reboot your phone (fastboot reboot), then press the vol down Button repeatedly, until you enter the recovery.
Step2: make a backup and select everything, but boot IMPORTANT !
Flashing new bootloader
Step1: shutdown your phone completely
Step2: start flashtool and select the thunder symbole + flashmode
Step3: select your downloaded FTF and select wipe Userdata+Apps-Logs
Step4: plug in your phone with vol+ pressed, so that you're in flashmode
Step5: flash firmware
Flashing TWRP
Step1: Shutdown your Phone
Step2: Boot into Fastboot
Step3 Flash TWRP for unlocked bootloader : fastboot flash recovery recovery.imgRestoring MM
Step1: Shutdown your phone
Step2: Boot into Recovery (hold Power and VolDown, release Power when phone vibrates)
Step3: flash MM-Zip
Step4: restore your Backup
Step5: restore Internal-SD-Backup-files to InternalSD---
Done
OK, thanks
So you mean we're going to use TWPR's backup function. But does TWRP Backup restore internal sd's general files(photos, songs....etc)?
Flashing ftf with wipe userdata option will wipe EVERYTHING on my internal-sd, including photos and songs. So It's no use if twrp cannot restore them
Or do you write this guide only for people who only want to keep their appdata and settings(/data/data, /data/app)?
Also, you mentioned about NEW Bootloader of .264 firmware. Many ppl told me that I should update to new BL to install recovery in MM.
Does the NEW BL has seperated partitions for each recovery and boot(kernel)?

You're right .. I didn't noticed that internalSD is wiped, too. But you can back up it via PC in Recovery or in Android
@backupfunction ... No Recovery has the option to backup InternalSD (because the developers think its useless)

Thanks for reply I'm going to try installing MM on weekend
I tried it, it worked perfectly, thanks!
So earlier today I was trying to install my stock recovery. Was a success but I also accidentally installed my stock recovery over my boot image. So now no matter what keys I hold to get to bootloader or recovery it automatically takes me to the recovery screen. Yes I have tried wiping data/factory rest and also tried caches partition. I have also tried doing it the older way by using adb/fastboot but my device wont connect. Yes I have the correct drivers. Im thinking its because I cant get into my phone to enable USB debugging. So any ideas on how I can re flash a new boot.img and recovery.img?
So you did a fastboot flash boot and typed in your recovery file?
Try the forced update method.
Download the latest firmware for your phone, extract it to get dload folder containing update.app, copy that dload folder to an SD card. Since your phone already boots up into recovery it should start the update.

Boot to TWRP then copy boot.img to your phone and then use Install / Image / choose boot.img
you can boot TWRP from the bootloader screen with fastboot boot TWRP.img
To enter the bootloader - turn off phone - plug phone into the PC - boot up phone with vol down + power
I was able to install CM12.1 on my Oukitel K4000 Lite.
But I have a problem:
1) Baseband version: Unknown;
2) Sim status section: Not available;
3) IMEI information: Unknow;
4) Bluetooth address: Unavailable;
Everything else works.
I want to know if I should change any system files(porting) before I flash it again?
I have both: stock and the CM12.1 roms.
I have installed TWRP, Gapps, SuperSU.
I have looked Google and other sites for a couple days now and haven't found any fixes that would work.
I have a backup made with TWRP and even tried to restore nvram, protect_f, protect_s partitions; flashed secro.img via TWRP; did a factory reset also but still no help.
I would really appreciate any help.
I will provide any further information and needed files.
I cant seem to get it to boot into twrp.. although I did flash it with fastboot

I was able to OEM unlock and flash the recovery.img but when I issue fastboot reboot it does not boot into recovery but rather a normal boot..
I know i've missed something simple...
can you help?
I should mention that OEM unlocking this phone does force a Factory Data Reset.. just in case anyone tries this on their own.
> fastboot oem unlock
> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img # NOTE: use the TWRP for k6000 Pro
> fastboot reboot # this is where the problem happens.. normal reboot.. not reboot into recovery
> fastboot bootloader # definitely not recovery.. android with gutsy triangle "no command"
:/
any help would be greatly appreciated.. I dont think I want to flash the supersu until I get it into twrp (nor can I .. right?)
Thanks
-Bill
Sorry.. I'm an idiot.. I should mention as well that I have the v12 ROM.
Also after the FDR android claims not to recognise my 32gb SanDisk microSD that it was using just fine before the FDR... so now i get to rescue the data and reformat it..

No, you cant flash supersu until you are in twrp. Lol. And fastboot reboot is normal boot, its not supposed to reboot into recovery its supposed to boot into system.and bootloader is bootloader. and for triangle no command, keep clicking on volume and power buttons at the same time. to boot into recovery, you need to power off the phone, then hold down volume up+power button at the same time. then a menu will pop up: recovery, fastboot, normal. use volume up to change options.click on volume down to choose recovery. then it will boot into recovery.flash supersu from there. and after u boot into system again later. install simplereboot app from play store and give root access to it then u can reboot into recovery through that app next time.
and what v12 rom? what rom is that?
Hi,
I unlocked my Honor 9 bootloader using the "fastboot oem unlock 'unlock key'" method.
After that it did low level reset or something of the sort and booted to Android.
After that I wanted to install TWRP using fastboot, the problem is that every time I do "adb reboot bootloader" I get a message the device cannot be trusted (see pic) and it boots to android.
I tried pressing power button, up button (this gets me to the recovery), but it always gets back to Android and not to fastboot.
What can I do???
Thank you
Return fully stock, then try again

How do I do that, use the original recovery?
OK, I managed to get to the bootloader by turning off the phone, pressing the volume down button and connecting the USB cable.
I flashed twrp and somehow booted to the recovery I wanted to flash the supersu.zip but all the folders and file names in the sdcard were gibberish.
I rebooted and everything was ok (not gibberish) but instead of having twrp I got the original recovery back.
Since then even if I flash using fastboot the twrp recovery I keep getting the original recovery.
In the fastboot screen there's a message "Android reboot reason: bootloader NA reboot_enter_fastboot_common_func" is it normal? (see pic)
And one last question, should I use SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip or Magisk-v14.0.zip to root?
UPDATE:
I managed to get twrp working.
I did fastboot oem relock, and then unlocked the bootloader again, and it booted to twrp (without re-flashing twrp).
When I tried to flash supersu all the files were gibberish (see pic), what am I missing?
If I wipe data it seems fine, but then I boot to system to copy the supersu file and once I load twrp it is gibberish again.
Also should I use SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip or Magisk-v14.0.zip to root?
Appreciate any help I can get.
This mate is called encryption
Put the SuperSU zip on a SD card and you should be able to flash it without any problems if you use the latest beta release.
Magisk is another story.

yeah I figured as much.
Didn't think of using external SD, thanks, was about to try adb sideload, I assume it would have worked too.
Many thanks, the external sd did the trick

In the link you will find Stock EMUI 8 Ramdisk, Recovery and System, as well as TWRP and a Kernel that fixes the possibility of losing the capacitive buttons. Download them into a folder on the root of your PC (for example C:\Temp)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/88l72rypm6u1u94/AADtPyvsIFhyBl1mcJ5raTBZa?dl=0
I don't know what caused your boot to disappear, mine disappeared when i tried to unroot it from within SuperSU app (Big Mistake), but let's not be drastic just yet. You need Fastboot and ADB on your PC, turn off your phone, hold Volume - and connect the USB cable from the PC to the device. You should enter Fastboot mode. I hope your device is FRP unlocked as well.
Open a command line and input "fastboot devices" to make sure your device is connected
First let's try restoring Ramdisk, TWRP and Kernel:
Run "fastboot flash ramdisk STF-L09_ramdisk.img", then "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf_twrp_oreo.img" and finally "fastboot flash kernel B360_fix_kernel.img"
After that just run "fastboot reboot" and see if it boots or not... This should take care of your problem, if not, let's go drastic:
Turn off the device and plug it in fastboot mode again onto your PC.
On the command line run "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img" (this will flash stock recovery), and "fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img" (this will flash your system partition, in small bathes at a time, fresh.)
After that, just "fastboot reboot" and it should boot to your system (and without a factory reset!) If it bootloops for some reason, turn off the device, boot into stock recovery and wipe cache (or do a full factory reset, but that should not be necessary i think...)
Hope all this helps!

Hi sir I tried, everything flashes ok but when I reboot it continue bootloops until it enter into erecovery. I tried to wipe data but when I press the button to wipe cache after it displays a red '!' into the circle and the same for the wiping data.
sorry for my English, how can I solve ..? FRP was written "FRP unlock"

Everything flashes ok, no errors? What did you flash? Everything?
eRecovery is to rescue the device, that won't work with Oreo (at least not for me). The stock recovery you enter it by keeping the Vol + pressed and power up the device (just as TWRP), you can enter it? And it gives error when wiping the cache?

The only explanation i see is that the EMUI8 you were using has something different from the one in OldDroid's thread... On mine i did exactly what i told you, those files are the ones i used on mine as well.
Right now you have everything stock right? Can you try to flash one of the Treble Roms? Either AOSP or RR-O?
You just have to download them (they're a system.img file) and run the "fastboot flash system system.img" command, go to recovery and factory reset. Your device should boot.
If everything fails, the only hope i see if to go to OldDroid's thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/stf-l09c432-how-to-install-oreo-h9-t3707729 and download the files, and follow the instructions on the OP to rollback to Nougat.

I think the link you probided is a fake bull$hiting guide :
