Recently bricked my honor 5x used fast boot to get it out of boot loop. (Because I tried to its update my phone with twrp)now when I try to re flash twrp it gets replaced by the stock recovery Everytime . Please help!
Samething happend to me... cannot flash twrp because when i restart phone after flashing twrp, it gets replaced by stock recovery.
What i do now is to boot to twrp instead of flashing using this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img
Hopefully there is a solution for this flashing problem.

you can't just reboot after flashing recovery ...you have to boot directly to twrp after the flash with power + volume up (Skip the fastboot reboot step)
the simple way is to copy kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img to your sdcard
fastboot boot kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
now in twrp choose install / image / then choose kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
next choose reboot / recovery
you now have kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
from then on adb reboot recovery from android
or power + volume up will enter TWRP

why are you using adb ?
did you read the instructions i posted
I have the stock recovery.
I cant get into twrp.
I tried to flash then go straight to twrp which gets replaced by stock bootloader
Idk it gets replaced everytime
Okay the adb thing stopped I got into twrp by doing the fastboot thing but when i boot into recovery it goes to the stock recovery.

I really don't know why you don't seem to get it
it's this simple
you fastboot boot kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
now while in TWRP copy kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img to the phone
Also copy SuperSU-v2.64.zip (or newer) to the phone
after the files are copied choose Install / Image / kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
next choose install / SuperSU.zip
next choose Reboot / Recovery
you now have TWRP recovery and you can enter it by using power + volume up
or from an app on the phone (I use Quickboot) or from a pc with adb reboot recovery
I have the same problem, i tried with your method but the system continue to replace bootloader, impossible to keep twrp on recovery
Edit : I try to install Root Checker, it detect my phone is root but impossible to access to TWRP, very strange

Tried this on my KIW-L21, as this is the only way I did not try it yet...
Did not work, unfortunately, I assume the OP could have the same problem as I already posted in the TWRP thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66678377&postcount=509
(It is a shame people spam this thread with unlocking problems, though)
EarlyMon mentioned something about dual recovery partitions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66838009&postcount=529
So regardless how many times I flash TWRP it wont stick until the next reboot to recovery, as it gets replaced by the stock one all the time.
I am thankful for every news on that topic and I would happily help(to the extent I am able to) getting TWRP back onto our phones :good:
P.S.: I am not quite sure if the OP has another problem in flashing the recovery, though.

So you are booting TWRP
Installing / TWRP.Img in TWRP and Reboot recovery and your not booting to TWRP ?
Just my two cents into this thread: apparently (from my personal experience, and EarlyMon seems to back this up) the Honor 5X for whatever reason allows the installation of TWRP but still keeps Huawei's stock recovery in place, unlike most phones. What's more, it randomly (yeah, guessing it's not random obviously, but I don't have the slightest clue what the pattern might be) decides to boot into stock recovery while I use the same hardware keys that have continuously booted me into TWRP up until that point. This behavior led me to believe I had bricked my phone for a day, lol (I made a recent post about it on this forum, in case anyone cares).
Bottom line: if you can't boot into TWRP even though you made sure to install it correctly, try changing the key combo. Vol down + Power not working for you? Try Vol Up. Neither work? Try Vol Up + Down + Power. Spice it out and it might solve your problems.

That is correct:
Connected Phone to PC
ADB reboot bootloader
fastboot boot kiwi.img
install image kiwi.img
reboot recovery

The last approach was done with the one from the first post of the TWRP thread here on XDA(https://goo.gl/53xai9) "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img"
I also tried the TWRP images from https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor5x.html but always the same result.
I can try with a specific image, just give me a link and I'll try to flash it. :fingers-crossed:

the problem is not enter into recovery.
the first time i have flash wrong twrp. when i enter in recovery, by hardware procedure, in the bottom of screen i read version of twrp.. and is version twrp 3.0.0r2. this is a wrong version!
then.. i do flash from pc, flash operation success.. and ONLY with command "fastboot boot XXXXX.img" , where xxxx.img is name of recovery i have flash before, i can enter in correct twrp.
i don't know why, but i think i can't flash and fix the correct version of twrp. bhooooooooooo!
edit:
problem solved..
i have rename twrp img file in "recovery.img" and i have flash it in fastboot mode by pc..
i have try to enter in recovery with adbo command (adb reboot recovery) and phone reboot in correct twrp version;
then i have try to enter in recovery with hardware procedure (poweroff, volume up + power and release power when appear Mi logo, tap on "recovery") and it work;
and, in the end, i have try to nter in recovery mode by app "updater"
all works perfectly now!

Hi,, i've successfully unlocked my redmi 3 bootloader, and now there's root permission option in security app. I tapped it and confirmation prompt to get root acces appear, i click ok, then my device download something (my assume its root file), and reboot by it self after. Now i have rooted redmi 3 with unlocked bootloader but no superSU installed.
I want to install twrp recovery which is official now for redmi 3, i've read about dm-verity thing in our redmi 3 and still confused about it.
Can i just install twrp recovery thru twrp manager app from play store? If yes, can i go into twrp recovery via updater app.?
Thanks in advance.
you can install twrp by fastboot!
and then yes, you can enter in twrp by updater app

Congratulations you just followed the official method of getting root access successfully, root access is not from SuperSU but from MIUI itself, it's in the Security app.
You can, but the phone won't boot anymore then, because of the dm-verity thingy. So in another word, you have to disable it by flashing a modified boot image, I'm not sure but some custom ROM might have come with the modified image already, but MIUI ROM definitely doesn't, it is certain you'd get a boot loop after flashed TWRP and try to boot into Android again. That's the simple explanation. And yes you can go to TWRP from updater app, it's the same thing as writing 'reboot recovery'.

I've just reflashed the latest official developer global ROM and then i've installed TWRP via fastboot. But when I try to boot it, both via ADB and turning on the phone via vol up + on, it doesn't boot. It just shows an image of the phone with a cable below and in ADB it shows the device is on sideload mode. I've tried with various TWRP versions (cofface, the original, etc) but it's still not booting. Bootloader is unlocked officially.
Help, i cant root it and i'm really freaked out :/
Did you by any chance reboot to system after flashing twrp? I experienced this only then because system replaces twrp with the stock recovery.
So do it like this:
flash via fastboot
reboot via fastboot but keep volume up pressed
twrp will ask you if it should disable stock recovery replacement -> yes
hope it works for you

So I accidentally booted up my device after wiping my ROM (I was going to install CM) and now I can't get back into TWRP to even access my backup. When I hold vol up I go into Huawei's eRecovery, on vol down it goes into the bootloader. I can't seem to get into TWRP anymore and fastboot doesn't seem to have the option to boot into recovery like adb does.
Found the stock ROM that I needed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
can you
Code:
fastboot boot (your twrp.img)
?

I'm not sure what I did but I got into TWRP but after wiping everything from fastboot (because I thought I would try to flash a ROM from there) so now I don't have my backup. Now I'm looking for a lollipop ROM (preferably stock) because I never got this to marshmallow and CM13 isn't flashing.
@BryanTheStrange
you should wipe first, then flash the ROM and GApps from TWRP.
I think you can restore to stock using dload folder method. There is a thread disscussing it.
Hello, fellow Android hackers.
Short: I am trying to install CM on a L21, but fail booting into TWRP (getting only stock recovery).
What I did, working with a brand-new phone:
Unlock bootloader.
Flash TWRP 3.0.2.
Boot to TWRP. It worked.
Try flashing CM, which failed due to some failed assert. Googling revealed a thread on these forums which suggested I had to do a stock update to Marshmallow first.
Downloaded the update through EMUI's updater.
The updater booted to TWRP which aborted the installation because of a failed zip signature check.
I disabled signature checking and ran the installation again. It succeeded.
Tried to directly install CM over it. I got the error message stating I couldn't flash on top of incompatible data.
At this point, I probably should just have wiped system and flash CM, but for some reason I decided to boot to stock.
Here is where it all seems to have gone wrong.
Try to flash and boot to TWRP, like in steps 13 to 18.
Push the B340 UPDATE.APP to /sdcard/dload.
Start the phone using power + vol down + vol up.
I have verified that the phone is on B340 and the builtin updater won't find further updates.
(I have repeated this step and the following ones countless times.)
Boot to bootloader and flash TWRP. Yes, the command succeeds.
Code:
…$ sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45202 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.418s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.641s]
finished. total time: 2.059s
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery # boots to stock recovery
Boot to bootloader and flash TWRP.
Hold power + vol up
I read that the duration holding the keys matters, so I tried this very often, but I always got to one of two different stock recoveries.
Factory reset and cache wipe with one of the two stock recoveries.
I also considered crushing the phone on the wall on multiple occasions, but then decided it would not help me with my goal.
Okay.
L21 with B340, how u boot to TWRP? -_-
Also, the two stock recoveries have the menu options "Download latest version and recovery, Reboot, Shutdown" and "Reboot, Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition".
I humbly thank everyone in advance who might have some contributions to share.
ok . as i understand ,
First Charge Ur Phone Up To 50%+
Second : Go Back To Stock L 5.0.1
Third : download The latest Nightly Version OF CM + Recovery Rom | Recovey
Forth : Flash Recovery Only Throw ADB if u got any error please Attach here if success Go to step 5
Fifth : Shut Down And HOLD Volume-up + Power As soon u see Honor logo Release Power But Keep Volume Rocked Pressed !
Last : Install The Cm After U already copy To SD Card .
Gd Luck ! .
i will presume that you are on stock recovery,
now go to honor 5x repository and download b320 firmware
now place it in dload folder and flash
now boot to bootlader and try flashing twrp
then do not directly boot to revovery
just do fastboot reboot
then now do adb reboot recovery
youl be with twrp and forst things first ,compulsarily do a backup
then now assuming that you have transfered layest cm to sd card,
first goto wipe , then select all except internal and external sd cards , then wipe
now install, you should be good to go,
i had your issue when i was on b34p, but b320 is a great base and supports all custom roms..try it
(I am sorry for not answering sooner, but I have a lot on my plate right now. :/ )
Thanks for the replies.

2: As I understood it I only had to upgrade to M in the first place to be able to install CM. The downgrade will not undo whatever happened there?
3: I am not sure that I understand what you're trying to say, but I know of no way to flash recoveries via ADB. The point is that, as posted in the OP, flash via fastboot allegedly succeeds and as soon as I boot to the recovery, I'm back to stock.

Thanks. I actually tried the dload method with B140 after writing this post, but it doesn't seem to work—same with B330 (the repo doesn't contain a B320 for L21). As far as I can tell, the dload install appears pretends to work fine: I'm getting a successful archive verification, an install meter and no error message. But the OS is not replaced.
I am uncertain if I need an actual microSD card—different sources seem to suggest different things here—but I generally would assume that, if there was no valid image in the right place, I would be getting an error message.
I am fine with whatever suggestion that wouldn't result in a brick. Data loss is fine, there's nothing on it.
A dumb question but do you disconnect the phone from PC or Mac after flashing twrp, firing fastboot reboot and quickly press power and vol up to boot to twrp.
If you already did that, try unlocking command once more and then try flashing it...
You can also try
Fastboot boot twrp_kiwi.img
To boot directly to twrp without flashing.
Hope any of it works.

I love you. I had totally forgotten about that. Using the boot command I managed to install CM, but I still cannot replace the stock recovery. Maybe I'll try letting CM write its own recovery with its next update, but I guess I'll leave it at that. The only downside is that my dad now needs me for doing updates. :/
Thanks very much.

how to boot Honor 5x into TWRP
I know this is an old post, but since I tried for nearly a week to get my Honor 5x to boot in TWRP when pushing volume up + power button, I just wanted to post how I finally got it working, just in case anyone else should have the same problem...
1. First, I downloaded the latest stock rom. On my Honor 5x Android 5 (Lollipop) was installed, so I downloaded an Android 6 (marshmallow) stock rom. Make sure to get the correct version for your region (e.g. C432 for Europe). I found the correct rom file by simply googeling. If you are in a boot loop or do not have a working android on your phone, read instructions below.
2. I un-zipped the rom file and copied the update.app to my sd card to folder "dload"
3. I booted regularly into Android and started the update installation from the settings, where I could select option to install from SD card.
4. once that was done, i enabled USB debugging in developer tools and booted into TWRP from ADB with command
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-kiwi.img
5. Then, I installed SuperSu (SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip)
6. Then, I flahed TWRP directly FROM TWRP. To do so, I clicked "Install" button, clicked "Install Image" and then selected TWRP file (which i copied to my SD card earlier). BE CAREFUL TO FLASH TWRP as Revovery (NOT boot). Actually, I first flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img, then directly after flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img and then I flashed twrp-3.0.0-1-kiwi.img (you see I was kind of desperate...). After that, from TWRP I booted into bootloader and again flashed twrp image from PC using adb:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img
7. from ADB, I again booted into TWRP
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img
8. ... where I once more installed TWRP.
After that I clicked reboot and selected to boot into Recovery. Then it finally worked.
After endless tries to get my phone to boot into TWRP when pushing volume up and power button, I am not sure which of the above steps made the difference. I think the important part is to update to the latest android version.
BTW: my first problem was I bricked my phone by trying to install lineageos from TWRP 3.1.1.1 and was in an endless bootloop. Here is how I got a regular android running:
I booted into bootloader (power + vol DOWN) and flashed the following files from adb (i got the files by extracting an android stock rom with Huawei Update Extractor (HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3.zip)):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
Hope this helps...
It's better to post in a new thread, that will be more helpful for you
I have a problem that i never make it into recovery again. I am used to adb/fastboot, this is my 5th device and i happily used different custom roms as lineage, havoc, crdroid for about 7 years and thus am familiar with the concepts of a/b, recovery, adb/fastboot and so on.
Now, when i "flash_all" with stock from here (V10.3.17.0.PFQEUXM) on my a3, i suppose both slots a and b are overwritten with stock. interestingly this stock rom only boots in a-slot, not in b-slot.
when i now just "fastboot flash recovery twrp...." with 3.3.1.2 and hit the manual enter to recovery (power + vol up), i just get a "no command" error - no twrp in sight.
i also tried this with flash_all V11.0.2.0.QFQEUXM rom (a10) and fastboot flash recovery twrp 3.3.1-17 Q from mauronofrio - same result.
anyone knows what i did wrong?
basically i didnt enter team win recovery for some good amount of tries which slightly terrifies me at this point. (help)
Should i use the global versions instead of the europe ones? Do i need to use "fastboot flash BOOT twrp.." instead of "fastboot flash recovery twrp.."?
I am also happy for suggestions where i could pose this issue more appropriate.
//update: i am now in stock rom and could root it with flashing a magisked boot.img but still cannot enter twrp recovery (-> "no command").
Ya you entered the wrong command it's
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
When you boot to twrp make sure to flash stock boot.img of the firmware which you are currently running and then flash twrp installer.zip flash both of these in twrp and do not reboot between flashes
thanks @garylawwd

So to be sure: i have stock 11.0.3.0 europe from here installed and i am in slot a now and i cannot go into twrp because it says "no command".
i go to fastboot now, then
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
with a recent twrp that can run android 10 from here and then power + vol up without switching slots.

how can i flash a boot.img from twrp? i thought, i can only flash .zips from twrp? Also do i need to take spacial measures to be able to read internal memory in twrp?
//edit: i tried to flash named twrp but it wouldnt boot up into recovery, instead went straight into fastboot. so i flashed boot with stock boot again. no solution in sight.
Just FYI - "no command" is default welcome page of stock recovery. If you see it, you don't have TWRP installed.

Thank you. Still i would expect twrp to open.
Am i using a/b wrong? When i am on slot a and go into fastboot anf fastboot flash boot twrp.img, then i expect twrp to be installed in a, is that correct? Or is it always installed in the inactive slot and thus i had to switch to slot b before i install twrp to have it on a?

No idea with TWRP, never used it on this phone, Magisk is enough for me. But I would follow one of the available guides if you need to have TWRP installed.

Thanks @mysiak_d
I used for example this method with this recovery bc it should work with android 10.
straight into fastboot instead recovery :/
