I really need help on this issue.
It got into a bootloop and the only thing available is fastboot. No recovery or erecovery. This happened when I was at B170 with unlock bootloader and un-rooted on my L01.
Since this, I´ve flashed
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
using Update.app from B100, B121 and B130. No erros with any of these.
I´ve read all the threads about similar problems and used other solutions like:
Change the order of fastboot flash;
Use Multitool-unbrick
Flash TWRP and oficial recovery with multitool but none worked
Remove sim tray
Connect fastboot to Hisuite, but the PC detects the phone, as it plays a sound, but the Hisuite says no phone is connected
Right now my phone is on at fastboot, because I cant even turn it off. It just restarts, vibes, shows Honor screen and restarts after a few seconds.
I really appreciate any help on this.
Hi!
I had a similar problem once. This was due to a bad recovery and boot partition flashed. You need to flash recovery.img and boot.img extracted from the update.zip from B170 (or B180?) update file.
In my case I was only able to access fastboot but not forced update with update.app (by holding VOL + and -) because the recovery wasn't good. If it's also your case, my solution above must be it.

Thanks a million, it worked oddly since I flash, like you said, recovery and boot from B170, but firmware version is B121.
Now it wont manual update to B313 or B121 or even have any OTA...
Is it because I have a unlocked bootloader ?
Edit: made a restore factory defaults with clean internal memory and reflashed B121 through update (local) menu. It now acknowledges B170 OTA. Urrraayyyy
Next step: re-lock bootloader?
Edit: Bootloader relocked using this post.

Hi !
A few months ago I unlocked my bootloader in order to root the phone. Last month I decided that I no longer needed root, so I flashed stock recovery and stock ROM. I updated yesterday to B180 without problem. You don't need to re-lock bootloader. It can stay unlocked without affecting the phone behaviour.

Hi Zinko
It seems to me you have a great experience fixing that type of problem,please share with me as well,I have Huawei Mate 7 and it's rebooting only after trying to upgrade to Marshmallow.
As Sideness said for sure it's due to a bad recovery and boot partition flashed.In my case it's most probably "boot partition".

God thank you so much, 4 days i'm struggling with my Honor and now i flash the boot and recovery from the 170 update and IT BOOTS !
Thank you so much.
Now i just had to update to 170 (i was in 121) via OTA and the updates starts and ends properly (first time in big time).
Main thing to understand is that you don't need a matching system.img, just an proper boot and recovery to flash. (if anyone is bricked to hell just like i was)

I guess if you try to update from B170 to B313 it will mess the recovery.
To fix this, it is required to re-flash the recovery from B170, AND THEN go back to B121. After that it is up to you to go through B140 and jump to B313 or follow the Lollipop path until B180.
Im stuck with the same issue. I had trwp + root installed, the 180 update came, i derooted the device, installed 313 official recovery- rebooted- and installed the update. After this the phone would not boot again.
I have tried everything, and if i choose the B170 recovery from multi tool, i come to the "Huawei software installing" but it stops at 90%.... What can i do to fix this? are there any way to flash a stock rom with TWRP?

Flash a complete B121 and then go all the way untill B180. The updates will show automatically, as you will have only to choose to update.
Hello,
I installed the beta cyanogenmod 13.0 for my Honor 5x about a month ago. I saw that recently a version was released with the fingerprint sensor functionality, but it required you to go back to stock and update to emui 4/MM. So, put the dload folder for the Emui 4.0 stock on my sdcard card, booted into bootloader, and flashed the old recovery. Now, when I boot my phone, it is stuck on the splash screen. I can go back into the bootloader and use fastboot commands, but nothing else. Help?
Edit: I tried flashing all of the recoveries for the KIW-L24, none changed anything, except the newest one caused the splash screen to go away after a few seconds, and a blue LED to appear.

flashing the partitions with fastboot is not needed with your phone.
The dload/update.app works, just be patient and follow the instructions I posted.
If you need to restore to Stock B151 use this TWRP backup >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905720643
You also need this version of TWRP to restore it >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545070682210514
Fastboot flash TWRP
in TWRP go to backup and check only boot.img > make the backup
now extract the b151 backup to your PC and copy it to the phone
their will be a directory named TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserialnumber/put the backup here
Now in TWRP choose Restore choose the backup you just copied over and be sure all the boxes are checked for restore
swipe to restore
be sure B331 dload/update.app are on the sdcard
In TWRP choose Reboot / Power Off
unplug the usb
hold power + volume up + volume down
when you see the first honor screen let go of power and hold the volume buttons till the update starts (be patient it takes a while)
EMUI recovery will load and do the update when it reboots your done
I had the same issue in the same scenario you described. It happened to me because my SD card was almost full. I'm guessing the Update file has to decompress and there was inadequate space available to complete the operation. When I switched to a clean SD card to run the update, it completed successfully. Hope this helps you!
I also had similiar issue, however the latest recovery from Huawei stopped at 5% and didn't complete. I flashed the recovery from B151 and ran the update again from the SD card and it worked.
remember you need spare space on the device for the update process! Keep around a gig free on whatever storage device you use for the procedure (internal or external SD)

Download the latest firmware for your phone, extract it to get update.app, use Huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery.img from update.app
Flash recovery.img in bootloader mode(the same way you flashed twrp).
Copy update.app to a folder named dload in your SD card. Turn off the phone and press and hold power, Vol up, Vol down until a reboot. Let go of power after reboot but keep other two pressed for five, six sec more.
Still Failing

Yep, it should work. But best way is to install official firmware yourself. It's not so difficult as you are already familiar with flashing images.

Power + vol up always takes you to recovery, right now you have twrp recovery so you are booting into it.
If you flash stock recovery then it will take you to stock recovery.
Best method is as I said, flash stock recovery, update using three button method.
Flashing a twrp backup is a solution but not the first recommended one.

First copy the dload to your memory card with update.app. Then Flush Stock recovery and power off or reboot while pressing both volume button.
The installing automatically starts. I have done this 3-4 times.

while porting CM13, I got message Patching system image unconditionally while installing.
And Phone stuck in the boot loop of CM13 logo and restarts every time.
I have installed CM13 previously, it worked fine. But now I am unable to port it.

@[email protected] This doesn't always work! I am a veteran at flashing phones. New to the Honor 5X, but I have done my fair share of flashing to understand what is happening a little bit behind the scenes. I flashed Cosmic OS but decided to return to stock for the camera app. Like an idiot, I did not make a TWRP backup of my stock image. I flashed stock recovery and tried to Force Update the B331 UPDATE.APP and it hangs at 5% just like another user here. Going to restore a TWRP backup to see if that is more successful for my situation.
Set sdcard as default storage
hello,
I have tried almost all the methods told in the conversation but i could not install the stock ROM.
I always shows software Update fail and forces to power down the phone . My phone is Honor 5X KIW-L22

"Z Camera" app is taking best pictures and best videos in LYF F1,I have personally tested.
CF-Auto-Root can root many devices,I have found a Samsung device named "Samsung Galaxy C5" which is similar to LYF F1 in that its Platform is MSM8952 , CPU is Octa-core (4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.2 GHz Cortex-A53) and GPU is Adreno 405.If any one can take the risk then he/she can try this link

i hv tried service center...but they dont know anything about it
Im trying to port custom recovery.
I found a device moto g4 plus with exact chipset,specifications and got custom recovery of that model...so im going to port it to lyf water f1..lets see.
Good news for all the users of LYF F1 who want to have twrp and root access.
I found the stock rom at link "http://www.smartfirmwares.com/forum1/index.php?topic=189.0"
I extracted the stock rom and got the stock recovery,then I got the twrp recovery of ZTE Axon 7 Mini.
I ported the twrp by replacing only the zImage from the stock to the twrp,and kept the ramdisk the same in twrp.
It booted up well but I got a error that twrp could not mount any partition except the recovery.
I then got the twrp of Moto G4 Plus,but the twrp did not have the ramdisk,it only contains zImage,so I could not port it.
I then got the twrp of Samsung Galaxy C5 and ported it in the same way,but it put the phone into recovery bootloop,phone was booting into twrp,then switching off,then again booting to twrp,at one moment when phone was switched off for one second,I flashed again the previous working recovery.
I then ported the twrp recovery of ZTE Axon Max but it gave the same error that it could not mount any partition except the recovery.
Then I ported the twrp recovery of ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini and this one was successfull without any error,but the recovery was in chinese.I can not remember the whole thing but the first window appeared in front,I touched the lower right conrer and changed the language to english,since then everything is in english.The link of that recovery is "https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2iZIwRNj3bpaEl3dWR1eXRsalk" and password is "Created-by-Tarasantan"
Now How did I flashed the twrp,I downloaded and extracted the stock rom,then I found a "_qcMUP.zip" within the zip "LYF F1 LS-5505 TOOL & DRIVERS.zip",then extracted the zip _qcMUP.zip,there in the support folder I found some windows softwares,I ran all of them to install the drivers and neccessary files.
Then in the "LYF F1 LS-5505 PC SW VER 01_06 By Gsm_F!rmwares_Tm" folder I replaced the stock "recovery.img" with the twrp "recovery.img".And then I ran the "qcMUP.exe" in the _qcMUP folder which I previously extracted.
Now I clicked the do button in the upper right corner of "qcMUP.exe",then clicked upgrade,then I selected the "LYF F1 LS-5505 PC SW VER 01_06 By Gsm_F!rmwares_Tm" folder.
Now I switched off the phone,then I pressed and hold volume up and down at the same time,and pluged the phone into the computer and the flashing started on qcMUP.exe window with a light blue bar filling up with a deep blue colour as the flashing was going on.
This will clear all the apps and data you previously have had in your internal memory.So you can back up all the installed app with es filexplorer,or super backup,and all the contacts and smses with super backup,then you must move all the backed up things and other neccessary things to the sd card.At the end put the latest supersu.zip in your sd card.
The next part is very important,when flashing is passed,you will unplug the phone from the computer,then press and hold the power and the volume up at the same time.You will be booted up into twrp then somehow change the language to english from chinese,then flash the supersu.zip from your sd card,if you do not boot into twrp and flash the supersu.zip then whenever you will boot into the system,the twrp recovery will be replaced with the stock recovery,when you flash the supersu.zip,it patches the boot.img so that it does not replace the twrp recovery with the stock.
Alternatively
you can use the following method.I have not tested this method,but this should work.In this method you just need to download this file "TWRP For LYF F1.7z",from https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2iZIwRNj3bpanRsaUM0OEdYV3c ,password is Created-By-Tarasantan .This recovery is made for exactly LS-5505,that means ro.product.device is LS-5505 ,ro.product.locale is en-IN and other properties are also changed for LS-5505.
Download and Extract the "TWRP For LYF F1.7z" file,then install the given drivers,then run the "qcMUP.exe".
Now Click the do button in the upper right corner of "qcMUP.exe" window,then click upgrade,then select the "LYF F1 LS-5505 TWRP 3.0.2" folder.
Now switch off the phone,then press and hold volume up and down at the same time,and plug the phone into the computer and the flashing should start on qcMUP.exe window with a light blue bar filling up with a deep blue colour as the flashing is going on.
This will not clear any apps and data that you previously have had in your internal memory.So you do not need to back up anything.But you need to put a supersu.zip in your sd card.
The next part is very important,when flashing is passed,unplug the phone from the computer,then press and hold the power and the volume up at the same time.Your phone should be booted up into twrp,then flash the supersu.zip from your sd card,if you do not boot your phone into twrp and flash the supersu.zip then whenever you will boot into the system,the twrp recovery will be replaced with the stock recovery,when you flash the supersu.zip,it patches the boot.img so that the boot.img does not replace the twrp recovery with the stock one.

I then got the twrp of Samsung Galaxy C5 and ported it in the same way,but it put the phone into recovery bootloop,phone was booting into twrp,then switching off,then again booting to twrp,at one moment when phone was switched off for one second,I flashed again the previous working recovery.
I then ported the twrp recovery of ZTE Axon Max but it gave the same error that it could not mount any partition except the recovery.
Then I ported the twrp recovery of ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini and this one was successfull without any error,but the recovery was in chinese.I can not remember the whole thing but the first window appeared in front,I touched the lower right conrer and changed the language to english,since then everything is in english.The link of that recovery is "https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2iZIwRNj3bpaEl3dWR1eXRsalk" and password is "Created-by-Tarasantan"
Now How did I flashed the twrp,I downloaded and extracted the stock rom,then I found a "_qcMUP.zip" within the zip "LYF F1 LS-5505 TOOL & DRIVERS.zip",then extracted the zip _qcMUP.zip,there in the support folder I found some windows softwares,I ran all of them to install the drivers and neccessary files.
Then in the "LYF F1 LS-5505 PC SW VER 01_06 By Gsm_F!rmwares_Tm" folder I replaced the stock "recovery.img" with the twrp "recovery.img".And then I ran the "qcMUP.exe" in the _qcMUP folder which I previously extracted.
Now I clicked the do button in the upper right corner of "qcMUP.exe",then clicked upgrade,then I selected the "LYF F1 LS-5505 PC SW VER 01_06 By Gsm_F!rmwares_Tm" folder.
Now I switched off the phone,then I pressed and hold volume up and down at the same time,and pluged the phone into the computer and the flashing started on qcMUP.exe window with a light blue bar filling up with a deep blue colour as the flashing was going on.
This will clear all the apps and data you previously have had in your internal memory.So you can back up all the installed app with es filexplorer,or super backup,and all the contacts and smses with super backup,then you must move all the backed up things and other neccessary things to the sd card.At the end put the latest supersu.zip in your sd card.
The next part is very important,when flashing is passed,you will unplug the phone from the computer,then press and hold the power and the volume up at the same time.You will be booted up into twrp then somehow change the language to english from chinese,then flash the supersu.zip from your sd card,if you do not boot into twrp and flash the supersu.zip then whenever you will boot into the system,the twrp recovery will be replaced with the stock recovery,when you flash the supersu.zip,it patches the boot.img so that it does not replace the twrp recovery with the stock.
This is the end of the post.Good Bye.

Can't mount system as writable on LYF water F1
Please help me.
I can't mount my system as writable on lyf water F1 after rooting by above process.
I did flash the firmware by replacing recovery and then I flashed SuperSU 2.82.zip but even if my phone is rooted I can't mount my system as writable by any app on play store or commands in terminal emulator.
Please reply some one.
Hello everyone,
I am not an IT guy and apparantly not an intelligent man as well.
I tried rooting my phone following a guide I found and was able to unlock bootloader and install TWRP on my phone. When I tried the next step (installing Supersu) all my files appeared encrypted when I tried to install through TWRP. Checked some other guides that said "clean up data". Went to TWRP and wiped phone (genius). now i am stuck in fastboot & rescue mode or the emui recovery which does nothing.
"fastboot&rescue mode
please coonect usb cable to
your computer and open hisuite
Android reboot reason:AP_S_COLDBOT
NA

PHONE Unlocked

Any help appreciated and sorry about the new post but through reading other posts, the standard language you guys use is way too advanced for my comprehension
Ok so you're phone is PHONE Unlocked & FRP Unlock, good.
You have access to :
- bootloader, good.
- stock recovery or twrp ?
- erecovery ?
In stock recovery not twrp, did you tried to "Wipe Data/Factory reset" ?
In stock Erecovery, did you tried to "download latest version and recovery" (while having stock recovery on recovery, not twrp) ?

I did install TWRP on it before everything happened but i dont have access to it anymore.
in erecovery I only have 3 options:
download latest version and recovery
reboot
shutdown
after clicking on download latest version and recovery, my screen goes into "connecting WIFI" and from there "getting package info failed"
if you have europe version , repair from e-recpvert not work.
you have to flash stock recovery and use a three fingers way for install B130
@Boomaye What happens when you boot to recovery ? (not erecovery ?)

@angelobiz I appreciate the help but remember i mentioned i am a novice at this? i am completely new to this, reason why i screwed up probably hehe... i bought it from gearbest and i am using it in South America
@oslo83
when i boot to recovery a screen with android cartoon appears with the following writting:
"fastboot&rescue mode
please coonect usb cable to

Android reboot reason:AP_S_COLDBOT

VOLUMNKEY_DOWN_PRESS_PROCESS_FUNC

when i do a regular boot the system enters a loop with honor logo and after a while of this boot loop it sends me to erecovery
Are you not misunderstanding recovery mode with boorloader mode ?

you have to check if you gave stock recovery or TWRP.
Close phone, and turn on the phone phone holding Volume UP and Power together,. WHITHOUT ANY USB CABLE CONNECTED (otherwise you will have e-recovery)
if you have stock recovery you have to do so:
1) download "stock service B130" from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...stock-t3696892
2) copy UPDATE.APP and update_STF-L09_hw_eu.app to external SDCARD into /dload folder
turn on the phone holding Volume + and volume - and power ( three fingers way)
if all is good, phone restart in stocj recovery and update firmware....
you will have again bootloader and frp blocked
if you have twrp installed, you have to install again a stock recovery....
you can try:
1) download "stock service B130" from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...stock-t3696892
2) download those 2 file from
https://mega.nz/#F!Y59nFYbJ!fb1f4UpEdgABZ4NhOfu1JQ
3) put all files in HWOTA7 directory on external SD
4)In TWRP find the folder HWOTA7 on the phone SD and from it flash the file "hwota7_update.zip"
he phone will reboot itself into the stock recovery and it will install the firmware.
++++++ Important ! ! ! ++++++
After have installed the firmware, you need to boot into the recovery and make a full Wipe
if all ok, b130 firmware will be flashed.
otherwise toy will have now a stock recovery installed and you can try whit three fingers mode

Sorry @oslo83 i may be, as i mentioned i lack the specific knowledge...
i can only boot it in fastboot&recovery through "down volume + power key" or in the regular mode which after looping through the Honor logo a few times stops at the "eRecovery" from huawei.
that is basically all i have access to

Hello,
i was able to access TWRP through power + volume up.
i downloaded the files you mentioned (but the link was broken, so i searched for the 130b on XDA and found it) and put them on the SD card.
i clicked install and selected the service full repair zip and swiped to install
my phone rebooted and i got an error instalation failed
hello guys,
after i followed Angelo steps and i got a failed instalation notice, i went to erecovery and it suddenly gave me the option for a factory reboot, which i did and now i can use the phone regularly.
i am back to ground zero
i am not sure exactly what i did that worked, but it worked even though it said failed
thanks for the help
edit: Angelo i sent a donation as thanks
thanks again
thanks a lot.

I think that you have flashed a valid recovery (e-recovery don't give you a choice of factory reset)
And so you can solve.
Maybe I don't know too h
What you have done... But it is important that now phone is ok.
Which firmware you have now?
Check if your bootloader and Frp are blocked and of you still have twrp
I Have a P20 Lite ANE-LX1 with EMUI 9.1.0.132(C432) with bootloader unlocked and I want to root it using Magisk.
With previous emui versions (8.x) I was able to install Magisk from TWRP, but with emui 9 when twrp boots system folders are encrypted and Magisk doesn't install.
So there should be two ways to root the phone: using an updated twrp capable of read this encrypted system partition, or patching the ramdisk.img using magisk and then flashing it with fastboot.
I'm trying the ramdisk.img option, because I can't find a twrp capable of decrypt the system partition in android 9.
The problem is that I can't find the ramdisk.img file. I've download from pro-teammt.ru zip files for my current rom version (EMUI 9.1.0.132(C432)), extract from them the UPDATE.APP file, and I've used HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe tool but there is no RAMDISK.img file like in previous emui 8.x versions.
Plus, in emui 8 ramdisk.img was a 16 MB file and in emui 9 update file there isn't a file with that size.
So I'm not sure which img file should I choose for patching it with Magisk.
Any ideas?
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/install.md#emui-9-or-higher
In emui9 magisk is installed to recovery_ramdisk.img
Thanks,
I've patched recovery_ramdis.img with magisk, and then folowing instructions in thread https : / / forum.xda-developers.com / huawei-p20-lite / development / recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-p20-lite-edition-t3800692 / page14
#134 and #135 I've been able to boot with magisk intalled.
In short:
patch recovery_ramdis.img with magisk
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_recovery_ramdis.img
fastboot reboot
Wait until the phone reboots completly without pulling out the usb cord
adb reboot recovery
And when the phone reboots again magisk is working and phone rooted.
hi i have downloaded llatest magisk manager but dont see a patch recovery ramdisk option? would you mind giving a light more indepth explanation ive been trying to root emui9.1 on p20 lite all day.
