Hello everybody,
since saturday I have a really big problem. Until now I tried to find a similar problem from an other person in the internet in order to fix mine but that was not possible.
So in my last hope I am now writing it down here. Hopefully someone can help me:
The phone was/is rooted and has TWRP as recovery installed (v3.21). The software is still the original EMUI.
On saturday my Huawei Honor 5x (Model KIW-L21) gave me the notification that there is an software update avaible. So I backuped everything with TWRP to my sd-card and copied it to the computer. After this I ran th eupdate. The update downloaded the new software, then rebootet to the recovery, installed the update.zip automaticly and rebootet again. Then there was written on the screen "Huawei software installing ... DO NOT unplug usb or press any key!". Also there was "0%" all the time. It did nothing. also the phone was not connected with usb.
After an hour I long pressed the power button. after two seconds there was the text "Warning: The powerkey is long pressed, please release powerkey to avoid system crash" displayed. I pressed it longer and the phone turned off.
Now I have the following problem. When the phone is turned off, I can:
press the power button: the phone starts, the "honor ... android" logo is shown but nothing more happens. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> device found but no permission to enter commands)
press the power button and the volume up button and the volume down button at the same time: normally this should take me in the recovery mode, mut it doesn't anymore. Instead the "EMUI" update screen is shown (see above "huawei software installing ..." with "0%") ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume up button at the same time: I get a huawei menu with three buttons: "reboot", "wipe user cache" and "factory reset". I tried both (wipe and reset) wich both finished without an error. But nothing changes ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume down button at the same time: I get an "eRecovery" menu from huawei with three buttons: "Reboot", "power off" and "Recover with latest software". The last button lets me connect to my wifi and then "searching for packages", with failes all the time. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
This problem occures with and also without the sd-card. Also there is no "update.zip" or "update.app" on the sd-card.
I really hope somebody can help me. I only need to get into the recovery. If I am there I can recover the backup or install a new ROM. That would be no problem for me. But at the moment I get nothing :crying:
Or maybe a tool to reset the phone completly? to start over from the beginning?
greetings,
Christopher
PS.: Thanks for your efford.
PSS.: Sorry for my bad english, I really try my best and hope that you understand what I am trying to say.
Same problem here... Please help us :'(

to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

AGAIN AND AGAIN, when you receive an update notification you MUST first flash back to stock recovery or it won't update with TWRP !!!
- To recover a stock recovery you need to boot onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
From there you will loose your connexion with your computer. So unplug your phone and reboot manually holding down the Power button for some seconds.
If the system ever update your phone, BE VERY PATIENT !
The above note should probably part of a sticky !!!
If you don't get back to your Home screen and if you need TWRP back, reboot again onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (or whatever the custom recovery name).

The problem a lot of people were having is TWRP flashed enough of the update that they lost custom recovery and had no way to get to the bootloader / fastboot ... that's why I posted the instructions above and in about 4 other threads.
Did you ever get your phone updated ?

Working great thanks a lot!
"fastboot & rescue mode" with a working usb connection.
What is the next step? If I now flash the stock recovery, does the phone manages to finish the system update?
Or should I flash the twrp recovery and not the stock revocery?
greetings,
Christopher
EDIT:
I flashed the stock recovery and also the twrp recovery. both times i startet the phone and hoped the installation of the new software will go on. But it didn't.
So my problem is still resistant. so what can I do? How do I stop the update from blocking my recovery? I do not need the update. maybe I can reset my device with the fastboot access somehow?

All the full updates are in the file depot
Use stock recovery plus the full update for your version.
You have to hold volup + voldown + power to start the update
Refresh TWRP / Root and your good to go

I found the stock recovery at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51004 but I have no idea what update I must use and how to use it.
Could you please give me a concrete link with a little introduction? Do I have to copy the update file to my sd-card? or do I have to use the "fastboot update *" command?
(Most of the files are for "KIW-L24" but I have a "KIW-L21" ... is there a significant difference? Od do I can use also the other files?)
Also, don't I have to stop the wrong update first?
greetings,
Christopher
EDIT:
I tried these "UPDATE.APP":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684
http://www.androidvillaz.com/2016/0...honor-5x-to-stock-lollipop-firmware-b130.html
both did not work. I copied them into the "dload" folder in the root of the sd-card and started the phone with volup+coldown+power.
The only thing the phone said was "Software install failed! ... Press powerkey to conrifm ... Shutdown system now".

if the update.app doesn't work you'll have to flash TWRP and the Stock Rom and wait like everyone else that's stuck trying to update the L21

The only way I know to flash a ROM, is to go over TWRP.
So I now did the following:
Phone power off
connect to pc
voldown+power
in the fastboot flash the recovery from twrp
shutdown
copy the "customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip" to the sd-card
volup+coldown+power what normally starts twrp, but only the huawei update manager is shown
I only need twrp, no update and nothing else.
What options do I have left, because "flash a ROM" is not working ...
How can I stop this terrible update that is blocking my twrp?

I flashed TWRP using "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img". I also used this one last time (one month ago) and it worked then and also now.
Flashing was successful, but when I press volup+power I get a huawei menu.
At the top there is the "EMUI" circle and below there are three buttons:
Reboot system now
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I can move around in this little menu by using the volume keys.
But this is not TWRP.
And normally I enter the recovery by using volup+voldown+power. But this is currently blocked by the update progress from huawei.

The last six hours I tried to fix my phone ... again. One thing I did really helped a little:

This is the polish version of manual, I will write you how to do it:
1. Download ADB and Fastboot
2. Extract to c:/adb
3. Download from this thread firmware for you (extracted version!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684 If you have problem what firmware you have to install, take look at the back side of phone, at the down you will se KIW-L21 or 24 (or another). Copy all files to adb folder
4. Rund adb program
5. Write in the command line: cd c:/adb
6. Connect phone to usb to download mode (power and vol- combination)
7. Write in fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recover.img (or recovrey .img, see the file and type it name) - wait for install
8. And now: If the flash is succesfull, reboot the phone to recovery (power and volume+) and wipe all data. Phone have to work.
But if flash is not succesfull, plug again usb with download mode
9. Write this commands: fastboot flash cust cust.img -wait for install
and: fastboot flash system system.img -also wait, system.img can took a while
10. Now you will enter recovery and wipe all data
11. Again plug usb cable and install firmware with those commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

With this I am not able to start my phone again. It will boot normally and I have a clean android. No userdata and no root.
So I now did the same like last month:
Unlock OEM -> not necessary, because it is already unlocked
install twrp with fastboot
reboot to twrp and there it is again
I did exactly what you said and also I did exactly the same thing I did last month but both times there is the same result: TWRP will not show up.
The "stock recovery" is blocking twrp in some sort of way. I can do whatever I whant ... volup+power out of the fastbook mode, or with "adb reboot recovery", or other ways ... twrp will not show up.
How is this possible? I also tried different twrp images. (The "kiwi_twrp_2-27_recovery.img" and "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img" out of your repository, and also the "twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img" and "twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img" from the twrp website itself ... always the same result: no twrp)
I am really at the end of my knollage

First off thanks for the very informative post.
Without actually having the phone in my hands I'm also stumped at what to try next.
After flashing TWRP and still in the boot loader unplug the USB before you reboot with power and volume up.
That's all I can think of right now

I must thank you for all your help
So I now read some more articles and tried some things. So there are old problems solved, but also new problems came up:
For me it is no longer possible to flash a recovery that is permanent. I have no idea why but I am ignoring it, because I can start the phone with voldown+power into bootloader and then use a usb-connection to enter the following command:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i can enter twrp temporary and because I do not need TWRP this often, that is ok for me.
BUT:
with the extracted "UPDATE.APP" and flashing some "*.img" files manually (see my last post), I have a more or less working "L21C432B130" version of android.
So now there is everything original (recovery, system, ...).
The update to "L21C432B140" is still not working. But that is also something I can live with.
So now I whant to restore my old system in order to have my old data/apps/... .
So I enter my temporary TWRP, go to Restore and select my old backup. Then the restore starts. Restoring EFS, Restoring efs2, Restoring Recovery, Wiping System and Formatting System using make_ext4fs. All of this in this order are successful. But the last operation "Restoring Data" failes with the following error message:
extractTarFork() process ended with error 255
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I searched on xda and found out, that this could be ANYTHING. I tried five or six different methods in order to fix it. In the end I am not sure what really fixxed it, but now I can restore my old update without any error. The phone now runs and I have all my old data.
There are four main differences on my phone to the time before I tried that damn update:
1. I have less internal storage
2. I have no TWRP permanently avaible
3. I can not Factory-Reset
4. I can not use a "UPDATE.APP" inside a "dload" folder on the sdcard
(the last two things always failes)
But as long as the android system now runs smooth again I can live with these things.
Is there maybe anything else I should be careful? maybe a known bug/problem that I have not seen yet?
The reason why I wanted to update in the first place was, that I have problems with my sd-card.
Some Apps do not allow to use the external storage. Easy Voice Recorder is the main problem. But also the Call Recorder has problems with it.
Is this a well known bug? Does a update helps? And if so, how do I update? (Now I know how to rescue my phone, so I could try it again xD )
Or does this problem gets solved with an custom ROM? If so, what good custom ROMs are out there for the honor 5x?
Or is this a problem that is not possible to fix on the honor 5x? Because these apps does not have this problem on my HTC One M9 ...
And thanks again so much for all your help

from your current state you can try flash recovery with TWRP by choosing install / image / your version of TWRP / choose recovery / swipe to flash
Now choose reboot / recovery
As for the sdcard try the sdcard fix for kit Kat in the play store. It works for some older apps.

So i have this issue too. im so stupid for doing this. I can go into fastboot mode and i flashed stock recovery and when i rebooted into recovery it still said that it was updating the firmware. I flashed twrp after that and it had the same message. am i doing something wrong or is it my phone? I tried rebooting into bootloader using adb but only fastboot will reconize my phone so adb also wont work. could you guys maybe help me?
Edit: Yessss. i got it using the temporary command. Thank you guys all for your help. it was so stupid of me to flash it with twrp still on it. Thank you all very much
I upgrade my phone to EMUI B330 (Android 6.0) and I used TWRP recovery to flashed Supersu 2.79. But after flashed and reboot, my phone cannot start up. It always blocks during starting (Always showing "Honor" logo). I cannot enter the system. How can I fix the problem?
did you use superSU V2.62? others dont work on honor 7

Thanks for the reply,
I cant get to the twrp, when i press volumeup, the phone keep restarting,
what do you mean by "flash over new sipersu",
the problem, the phone keep restarting when i press VolumeUp+Down+power, then i release power, and keep pressing volumeUP+volumeDown,
but instead of going to twrp, the phone restart

I did, once i sense the vibration, i let go the power, and keep pressing on the volumeUp+down buttons, but the same issue
even if i only press the volumeUp button, it also restart instead of going to the twrp folder,
is there is any software, or other way to access it via pc, or something,

You can enter the fastboot mode and then re-flash the TWRP. After that, you reboot the phone and keep pressing the volumeUP button while it's booting. So that you can enter the TWRP.
My method is that I enter TWRP and then use "Advantage Wipe" to wipe cache and davik cache. Then, flash v2.64 of SuperSU and reboot system. It works.

hello,
so the threat is called how to root honor 7......and you only write about the SuperSU issue, not about the procedure how to root it.
what is the solution for rooting the H7 with android 6.0 build 380?
The right files for doing it like TWRP, IMG aso.

Hi all. I just recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted my LG V30+ following the WTF guide with no issues. However, I installed a "Hide navigation bar" module in Magisk and now the screen is in accessible and I can only reboot the phone. Since I have TWRP installed, I cannot boot into bootloader holding down the volume down and power buttons. Any suggestions? I cannot use adb becuase it says that the device is unauthorized since I cannot allow permisions on my screen ( cant see anything on screen atm).

You can boot to TWRP with hardware button dance.
8 sec Power + Vol-, and when it shuts off, release both, immediatly press both again (at the same time), and as soon as the LG V30 logo appears, release power and press/hold it again.
Should get you to the factory reset menu, confirm twice with "yes" (navigate via vol/power buttons), and TWRP should boot fine.
Might take a few tries to get the right timing for that

For that, remember the annoying bootloader unlock warning is part of the boot sequence.
Or do a Master Reset and start over.

Ignore bootloader unlock warning. It's just part of the boot sequence. Maybe it's considered the "logo". Don't let it freak you out.

I must have done this button dance 25 times now, it just goes between unlocked boot warning screen and LG SlimQ screen, over & over again. Still no luck.
eff you LG...

Suggestion... Why not boot to TWRP with fastboot commands like in the WTF instructions? Then reboot to TWRP from within TWRP (reboot to recovery, from Recovery) to make sure you are then on your phone TWRP and not your PC TWRP.
Then after you root, use the recommended power menu app to never have to worry about it again.
If you already have root, then just go install that right now.
ADVANCED POWER MENU (root needed)

The person who started this thread couldn't do that because they installed something which messed up their screen. They couldn't see the Advanced Power Menu, nor see ADB/fastboot. So they HAD to use the hardware button dance...
Really no one else ever has to do that, except T-Mobile H932 users who don't have fastboot flash commands.
Hi Chazz, been unlocked and rooted with TWRP installed for months now. Wanted to just refresh us998 H, since something in Anxious mod may have been causing some issues. Wiped cache & dal, flashed the zip, flashed magisk 18.1, then rebooted to system. Magisk showing as not installed. Wanted to get back to recovery & reflash magisk....except now I can't for the life of me get back in there. New PC build here, nothing set up yet to be able to do fastboot stuff. Dang this is frustrating.

In Oreo, did you enable USB debugging and then allow ADB from this PC? You have to install ABD drivers, LG drivers, fastboot drivers, and connect via good USB-C cable. If so go into ADB folder, hold-shift and right click to 'open command prompt here', and type "adb devices". If the PC recognizes your phone then it should say "adb xxxxxxxx authorized". Then type "adb reboot recovery" and it should boot into TWRP. If not then repeat everything and type "adb reboot bootloader" to go into fastboot or bootloader mode. In this mode you can type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" where the TWRP-xxx-xxxx.img has to be renamed into TWRP.img before hand (else you have to type the full TWRP file name. The TWRP file has to be in the same directory as the adb folder
I'm good turns out I ended up using my old PC, was able to adb recovery mode, installed 19.2 magisk over 18.1, which then showed up as being installed on the phone and root working. Guess I'll be keeping my old puter around for a while...lol
Booting into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" might have bricked my device.
Hello. I am currently using, or, well, was using an Xperia XA1 Plus, running Android 8. Tried to get it rooted recently. However, I always had trouble booting into recovery mode. I had bootloader unlocked, went into fastboot and installed the recovery.img, but whether I held Vol Up or Vol Down + Power, nothing happened; the device just kept rebooting into normal Android. Then I went on the internet and looked around, and found out about "adb reboot recovery". And this is where I ran into the problem. After pushing the command, the device now doesn't seem capable of booting anymore. Any combination of buttons, whether Vol Up or Vol Down + Power wouldn't do anything.
Is this considered a hard brick? Is there any way to save my phone? Much appreciated.
Try to flash recovery image, three times in a row, without disconnecting and rebooting.
Than try to boot to recovery

Hey, thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately, I couldn't boot into fastboot mode. However, thanks to your suggestion, I found out that flashmode was still available, and managed to flash the firmware again! The device is back!
Hello,
I have just tried to flash my SAMSUNG A20e with TWRP trough ODIN.
I have put the phone in developer mode and did all the things acording to the tutorials. I rebooted through bootloader and tried to upload the TWRP file. At first, it didn't quite work - it always failed in ODIN. Then I tried one that finally worked (ver. 3.3.1-0) but when I tried to boot into TWRP it is just stuck on the loading screen with the TEAMWIN logo and thats it. I have tried to restart it, connect it back to the PC, get to the recovery, leave it for a long time ect., but nothing helped. I cannot even turn it off - when I press and hold the power button or power and volume up buttons together nothing happens. When I try to pres and hold power + volume down buttons it restarts and it gets back to the loading screen with the logo.
If you have any more questions let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem can you help me please??
I suggest to flash a matching version of TWRP over the existing one.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery <TWRP-IMAGE-NAME.img>
If this fails to boot into TWRP, try
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot boot <TWRP-IMAGE-NAME.img>
This should reboot the device into TWRP directly and from there you should be able to reboot to recovery again as this is is not a permanent TWRP.

I got the same issue...
There is no adb or fastboot connection when in TWRP splash...
The only solution in my mind is to wait for the battery to drain out and then boot into download mode (vol UP + vol DOWN + usb cable connect).
Will wait and report back
Edit: And BOOM! Done!
Downloaded official firmware, flashed via Odin and it's alive again!
I'm having a similar issue but I am unable to get to download mode or boot the phone, my computer doesn't connect to it in the current state it is in.
the phone has been recovered from this state but the person that did this is very busy now and doesn't get much time to hang out anymore, if I don't get an answer before I contact him ill update my post with a fix for anyone else that is having the same issue.
edit: ok so I feel like an idiot as my cable only did charging as I don't have my original cable so I found another cable and it was all good.
