Hello, I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school. This is the first time I have modified the android os. The community on xda has been really helpful and knowledgeable. I have created an account to see if anyone else has done the same thing I have. Anyway read below for my post.
I am trying to change the recovery on my phone to twrp. Let me start out by saying I rooted my phone before on build number 130 (KIW-L24,Android 5.1,EMUI 3.1,C567B130,United States, Channel-Others). I used the instructions here and it worked http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190.
I then decided to update through the huawei updater to build number 151 (KIW-L24, Android 5.1, EMUI 3.1, C567B151, United States, Channel-Others). It eventually got to a black EMUI menu with installing 0%. So I powered it off even though it warned against it. So my phone was bricked so I followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/bricked-honor-5x-t3328308 and my phone worked again.
Okay so now I want to root my phone so I follow the instructions for rooting. Problem is that I can not replace the EMUI recovery with twrp recovery. I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update.
I use these commands on adb with the twrp_kiwi.img in my adb folder(named .android by default)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
So I wanted to see if I could put the old firmware back so I followed the instructions for bricked device. But the fastboot commands don't seem to do anything with the .img files.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
Yea so I am lost as to why fastboot commands arent working as it says finished and any advice would be appreciated.
Also is it possible to format the phone similar to a pc and use adb to flash the firmware back on.
I want to eventually backup my phone and put cyanogenmod on it.
... I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to flash what you want.
Have you tried reinstalling the Android device drivers on your PC?

Is this really for a private use unless you are trying to ask us to do your university exercises for you ? LOL
And as you felt need to mention "I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school.", you should know first University mission is to teach you to search and exercise by yourself, to do things step by step and to guess by yourself what was wrong. ^^
Just one tip and advice : read up your own post carefully and you should find out what you've done wrong...

That was just background information unrelated to my post. I am currently trying to see if I can put the old firmware back to see if it fixes the problem.

TWRP works just fine on B151
plug in usb / Shut down the phone
boot to the bootloader (power + vol down)
open command prompt on PC
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
hold volume up + volume down + power till you see TWRP (about 14 seconds)
In TWRP choose reboot / recovery
Say yes to Root
recovery will reload / flash your rom
If you want to return to Stock use this >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995315154

After this, phone was not booting , now recovery is also not working.
Even phone is not accepting the adb fastboot commands.

2.it shows the "fastboot usb" but computer says device not found. Drivers are installed. Checked with other htc device so they are working fine
3.Is there any way to take to stock via RUU installations.

S-ON = No Brick.
Recovery and "img files" Don't need root.
Nothing is called adb fastboot
Connect phone in fastboot mode (Power + Volume Down > Fastboot)
Then use the "fastboot devices" command.
Flash twrp 2.8.6 http://dl.twrp.me/enrc2b/twrp-2.8.6.0-enrc2b.img
Flash a compatible kernel.
Device should be "fixed"
Search for "RUU enrc2b" . RUU depends on your CID.

Hahaahahhaa Perfect description.
@OP:
ADB and Fastboot are two different things.
You DO NOT NEED ADB.
DO NOT WRITE ADB
Write "fastboot devices" directly, and your device will show up.
And please do read all the links lloir provided.
Thank you so much guys.. @Lloir nd @Ghandour
OK, so i am really lost at this point. I have been trying for the past couple of days with no luck.
I used Minimal adb and fastboot, downloaded Lg drivers (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.3), sdk google drivers and looked at many comments to figure this out.
i type adb device and my phone shows, I type fastboot device and last couple of my phone shows. I used Mininimal adb and fasboot to unclock the the bootloader and i followed all the commands but when i get to fastboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img, it tells me cannot load twrpxxxx.img. Also, when i type in adb reboot bootloader in brings me the an LG screen with powered by android at the bottom instead of the correct screen.
So, i tried the other way. Power phone off, hold down the volume down button and plug in usb and bootloader/fastboot opens up ( the screen with the line in the top left, with a blank page). it shows unlocked, few lines in white, and then few lines in red. I type fasboot devices and my phone shows up displaying last couple of the phone sn#. but when i go to type fasboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img, i get the same message cannot load twrpxxxx.img. and on the phone is shows fastboot getvar partition recovery.
Any idea on what this is and how can i solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Rename it to recovery.img and try again.
I renamed it and I still get the same error. Cannot load recovery.img

Make sure the image is in the same folder that you are running adb from; it doesnt scan your whole computer for the file. ��

It is in the same folder.
Does it make any difference that my phone is unlocked from T-Mobile via unlocked code? That should not have anything to do with it thought. I am just tying to figure it out.
Figured it out.

I suggest you remove and reinstall sdk or install nexus root tools and run a cmd within the updated tools. Make sure you installed the right drivers, delete all others, reinstall, although your error seems more a problem with the tools, permissions perhaps, did you run cmd as admin?
Unable to load tells me it can't find your file.. Perhaps it has a hidden extension? Recovery.img.txt
Whats the complete exact command you're typing?
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

When your phone is turned on and plugged in, type command adb devices, Does it show?
Put phone in fastboot mode, type command fastboot devices, does it show?
I figured it out. I had to install motorola and g4 drivers to get fast boot to read when I only had one or the other it was only reading adb when I had both on pc it read and adb & fastboot and worked. Thank you.
Hi sir I am facing a problem I rooted my v10 first I unlocked bootloader and then I rooted it by using fwul I hard reset it but when I turned it on a twrp recovery menu appeared please help that how it fix
Hello friends, I hope you are well. I am writing to everyone to see if anyone can help me with this big problem.
Yesterday install the Rom Pixel Experience, all good, all the steps to perfection and others, had microSD at that time so flash the boot.img by Fastboot. It seems to install the Boot.img in the Recovery TWRP partition, or something like that. Because I do not have the Recovery either, when I try to go to the recovery, the window "Bootloader Unlocked" appears, but it does not take me anywhere, only to the boot of the rom, it is something very strange and the truth scares me. I clarify: I can not access the Fastboot, nor the download mode, nor the recovery, because it does not.
There will be another way: ????
PLEASE IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME, FIND ANOTHER METHOD TO ENTER THE FASTBOOT OR DOWNLOAD MODE, THE SOLUTION THAT WORKS WILL PAY ME WELL TO THE PROPONGA, PLEASE, I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY MOBILE, I BUY IT WITH A LOT OF EFFORT.
Last night I dawned on the boot logo, until it was completely downloaded and at this moment it continues to do so ... By GOD!
When trying to enter the Fastboot or download mode, it takes me here:

I can not access Fastboot, nor download mode, nor recovery, because it has disappeared. There will be another way to enter the Fastboot or download mode, because the phone actually woke up until I wake up today and was even charged. PLEASE.
Hey, sorry for your sad state. Following process worked for me when I got stuck yesterday like that.
1. Connect your phone to PC ( make sure adb/fast boot is setup)
2. Hard reboot your phone with power plus volume down button.
3. As soon as your phone turns off, press volume down only and keep it pressed till you enter fastboot.
4. After this phone should be recognised in PC and you should be able to boot in TWRP using fastboot.

Hope this works for you @Yeriorlando. @gimpy1 had a similar issue when installing Havoc ROM. Part of the problem seems to be when installing the custom kernel?
gimpy1 said:
It was operator error (generally is) on my part, I'm sure. The only thing I did different that I can remember is installing the 9.0 boot image in twrp differently. I installed it in the recovery option first (intentionally, should not have), instead of ticking only the boot choice. I did not untick the recovery option (should have never ticked it in the first place, but I was trying to correct a problem on the ROM, and misread a post).

Thx, Chaz. I pulled out my printed instructions from your post, and once I was able to get my device recognized (that did take a couple of tries), reinstalling twrp was pretty easy.
I'm back in business thanks to you.:good:

IF you still can't after the suggestion at top, maybe @SGCMarkus or @runningnak3d have some tips?
Unless you have an H932, then if you get the error that: "Your device software can't be checked for corruption" then you have fastboot. It is literally impossible to have that message on a WTF rooted phone and NOT have working fastboot.
So, as @ZestyManu said -- make *sure* your phone is powered off. If you have to let, the battery die. Then hold vol down + plug in the USB cable (no need to touch the power button) and you will enter fastboot.

Thank you all. I have solved the problem in a super crazy way, to pure ADB, not fastboot .... Pure ****ing adb ... Hehehehe. Thanks to @ChazzMatt
Hello, I've recently acquired this Infinix Hot 10 device, now I want to root it. I searched on Google and found some links that suggest I can (on getdroidtips) and some that suggest I can't (on newsvivs). I would share the links but I can't post links due to having a new account.
I want to know the opinions of the forum members here on these sites and whether anyone has this device and has successfully rooted it before. I also want to know if this will erase all my data. If you have any trusted rooting guides for this device please share them.
Thank you.
If you as 1st step could successfully unlock phone's bootloader, then as 2nd step you could install a Custom Recovery like TWRP suitable to the phone, then finally as 3rd step it should be possible to root phone's XOS 6.0 ( based on Android 10 ) by means of TWRP.

I can unlock the bootloader. But how do I install TWRP afterwards? Do I need a special build for the phone or is the process generic from there? If it's generic could you send me a guide?

It doesn't have a custom recovery. When I try to go to recovery manually (Vol UP + Power) it gives a black screen instantly on boot, then continues boot looping when I take my fingers off the buttons.
ADB and Fastbook fail to connect to the device in its various stages of bootlooping so I can't switch to fastboot mode.
SPFlash can't flash it, keeps giving errors. Either when it reboots during a flash attempt or it gives an authentication key error. Apparently I need an auth key to flash this device? Even though I'm using the original ROM.

As above mentioned TWRP must match phone's specs ( Android OS, etc.pp ). In case there isn't a pre-build one for your phone you can try to ask TWRP-developers to build it for you by means of TWRP Builder app.

Hi there! I need some help, I am trying to root my device and need a boot.img, but I cannot find a Rom for the x9 anywhere online.
This is my first time doing this, I got this phone just to mess around with rooting. But maybe I bought a bad phone for it.
If there are no Flash Roms online, what are the next steps? Can I use a Rom for the e9 which released alongside this phone? Sounds like it wouldnt work.. but IDK.
Looking for help from the experts ^^
Any help is appreciated.
Finally found one! Took over 2 hours to download a 2gb file O,O but it's finally done.
Now I am having problems getting into bootloader mode.
In developer mode with both OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled.
Used the correct cmd prompt (adb reboot bootloader) but the phone just restarts.
I've tried restarting while holding the volume buttons.
VOL Down = Factory Test Mode, nothing works as expected there.
VOL UP = A boot menu letting me select from ~10 options, one of them is Boot to Bootloader. Selecting that simply boots normal, nothing special.
I have followed three guides:
How TO Root Vodafone Smart X9 Magisk without TWRP Recovery
If your Smart X9 is rooted using Magisk without TWRP Recovery. You can control a lot of features such as you can remove unwanted software.
www.getdroidpro.com
Vodafone Smart E9 Unlock Bootloader with Fastboot Method
How to unlock bootloader on your Vodafone with Fastboot Method. You can install custom ROM, custom recovery, kernel, flash all data
www.mobilewithdrivers.com
All seem logical enough, many similarities between them. I just cannot get into fastboot mode.
I've seen LOADS of threads with this same problem on this forum. And none of them have any solutions. So I think this is the end of the road. If nobody has figured it out .. then I am just out of luck I guess?

Hi @joke19 !
I havnt seen any of the guides mentioning needing a certain amount of buttons :O
How does that factor in - does that mean it cannot be rooted for some reason?

PC is fully up to date on Windows 10.
I've got the lastest up-to-date version of platform-tools.
I'm using USB2.0 with the correct wires.
The phone is in developer mode with USB Debugging and OEM unlocking enabled.
I'm using the correct command lines. adb devices & adb reboot bootloader work as expected.
But none of these will work: fastboot devices, fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock.
I just get < waiting for any device >
Can anyone help figure this out? I must be doing sooomething wrong. Everything online says its a driver issue, but then again, all the guides on how to fix that driver issue have been followed and completed. The first bullet with the image should also sort of verify that.
Praying some wizard out there has the knowledge I need to get this working! ^^
