After fumbling with install twrp in order to change over to CM13 from stock, I somehow managed to install the original recovery wrong as well as completely boning the OS. Because of this, on boot, all that shows is the honor screen continuously. Of course the obvious answer to this is to reinstall twrp and restore one of my recovery files. Unfortunately trying to flash twrp through fastboot results in an "FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))". Any suggestions? I can't access the phones internal storage nor the SD card either when I plug it into my PC.
Only one solution, flash a stock firmware using a PC.

How would I go about doing this? I would really love to get my honor working again. Would it just be using fastboot to flash the firmware?
I'd be worried about that error you're getting. It's strange.
Have you considered trying to flash stock recovery? You can extract the recovery image file from the official website update download. Or use the repository.
Or have you tried flashing a different version of TWRP recovery? Here's the official website.

I don't think only fastboot is enough, but take a look at the link provided by JT-on

Luckily, after trying to reflash the twrp with a different version like you suggested, there was no error message and it was completed successfully! Currently restoring as I type this. Don't know how to upload an image so text should do

Hello everyone. I had TWRP installed on my Mate 2. There was some update a few months ago and now I can no longer boot into TWRP. All I get is the stock recovery. ADB install of TWRP always reports successful (OKAY [ 0.797s]). Graphical installation always fails however ("Something is wrong" error).
Has anyone been through this? Nothing I do seems to get me back to being able to use TWRM.

Agreed, there are, and I have been through and tried many including:
Downloading TWRP Manager and install from there
Down;load Flashify and install fropm there
Install via ADB Fastboot
Copying image to SD card and flashing from there
Copying update to SD card and flashing from there
None has worked. I'mk thinking the one and only update I received changed the boot partition or something.

You are welcome. It was Xordos that figured it out.
Hey guys, I do not think this is a re-post of the other TWRP problems on Blackview 6000s. I have tried to install TWRP on my device many times. When I reboot into the custom recovery, a android with a danger sign appears. Instead of the TWRP screen. So what is the problem? (Android Noob here, please don't throw big developer words ).
Have tried
1. Changing USB ports / Using different computers
2. Flash_tool.exe
3. Flashing though adb/fastboot (is it the same?)
4. Different versions of TWRP.
5. Enabled USB debugging, OEM unlock & Install from Unknown Sources
Error Messages:
1. Running this -> adb reboot bootloader
error :no devices/emulators found (device was detected in "fastboot devices")
2. Running this -> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hi did you manage to find a ROM for the phone?
Hello
Might I know what ROM you are using, and where you got the TWRP? I managed to flash TWRP once on the device, and then install SuperSU when it had a previous ROM.
But I flashed it with blackview's latest ROM I found on their website. Since then, when I flash TWRP, the phone won't boot anymore
I'm using TWRP3.0.0, which is the latest one I found with a scatter file.
to the point.. I tried flashing OREO coming from B120 firmware following this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/stf-l09c432-how-to-install-oreo-h9-t3707729 ... I didnt manage to rename the folder in Part2.4 of the guide because despite supersu asking if i wanted to grant root it just didnt work....the bootloader and frp are unlocked.. when i try to reflash twrp this is happening.

I only want a working rom with root so i can use titanium backup. Any help is appreciated. After spending 12 hours today Im out of googlesearches and forumbrowsing ideas. Worst case check back in a week or so and I'll upload a youtube vid in which I'll destroy my practically brandnew phone with a hammer because I'm starting to lose my nerves. I really didnt expect it to be such a problem to install a new firmware and rooting my new phone. What options do I have?

In Oreo, recovery and boot partitions were renamed.
So, to flash recovery (TWRP in this case), you use
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Make sure you use TWRP for Oreo
to flash stock "boot", extract RAMDISK from stock oreo honor 9 firmware, and flash using
fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img
new partitions are the following:
boot = split into RAMDISK and KERNEL
recovery = split into RECOVERY_RAMDISK, RECOVERY_KERNEL, RECOVERY_VENDOR, RECOVERY_VBMETA.
eRecovery = Same as above but named erecovery
DLOAD should work...
if there are ROLLBACK firmware for Honor 9 you could try this to go back to Nougat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
I'm not sure how different Honor 9 and Mate 9 recoveries are, but you could just flash back stock recovery if it doesn't work.
sorry for posting this in the wrong forum section. If a mod could move this would be appreciated.

Too bad
hey, don't worry, you were just stupid trying to flash to the wrong partitions (nougat partition names), recovery should be recovery_ramdisk and kernel is split into 2 partitions on oreo: kernel and ramdisk.
You better read everything carefully next time, its posted all around the forums here.

too bad
but you can try to update with latest version [B330]

First, in TWRP, advance wipe everything! Now, you need a pc, connect the phone to PC with a USB, on pc, download any ROM you want (and gapps if you want) now transfer the files to your phone and then flash them, izi,
Thumbs up if I was useful.

Try reinstalling stock firmware trough download mode...
Try reinstalling the twrp image. Helped me once
Apologies if I should have searched harder. My understanding is that touch screen issues like this happen when the firmware you flash isn't quite compatible with your device. I've triple checked the stuff I downloaded, and I'm not seeing how it could be that. Maybe I did something else stupid? This is my first time rooting anything.
Product/Variant (as seen in bootloader): sofia XT2041-4 64GB PVT
The boot.img I downloaded: lolinet's firmware/moto/sofia/official/RETUS/ (the august 31 one. Currently trying with the earlier one, but the download is taking forever)
Magisk version: 7.5.1
I only have a linux laptop, so the rescue and smart assistant appears to be off the table
Here's what I did:
Downloaded the boot.img from lolinet
patched it using magisk
flashed it using fastboot
How I flashed it:
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805261312 bytes
sending 'boot_b' (12136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.376s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.069s]
finished. total time: 0.446s
I booted up after this, and I couldn't use the touchscreen. Then I noticed the boot_b thing, so I did the following to do both partitions (although I have no idea if this is what you're supposed to do):
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805261312 bytes
sending 'boot_a' (12136 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.350s]

OKAY [ 0.370s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.214s]
finished. total time: 0.584s
No dice..
Next, I tried to just use the unpatched boot.img to restore things.
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot flash boot_a XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPMS30.80-109-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml/boot.img

once again, no dice..this time I didn't even get to the lockscreen. Just stuck on the moto logo
Any idea what I've done wrong? Would really appreciate some help with this.
Update: I tried with the other boot.img from lolinet, doesn't get to lockscreen. Then I tried a factory reset with twrp, and flashing the earlier boot.img and I got to the setup screen, but still no touch.
Update 2: I managed to get omnirom flashed, and that's working so far! I am still curious to know why the touch screen issues popped up..will be useful next time I want to flash stock
check the forums for the g7 play, I've found topics about that kind of issue.
There's a few touchscreen vendors used for the same device, and they use different drivers basically.
Got a link by any chance? The ones I've seen are twrp related or because of the wrong firmware.
Any idea how to figure out which set is right for my phone?
Here is solution: get full ROM through LMSA and flash components through bootloader and fastbootd
* boot, recovery, dtbo, vbmeta, super flashed in fastbootd (adb reboot fastboot)
* All other actions done in bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)

Can this be done without fastbootd? i stupidly flashed twrp (which doesnt work). so I dont have stock recovery to get into fastbootd. Can this be done using regular fastboot?
Or any way to flash a stock rom using just fastboot? the rom i have does not have 'flash all' so im not sure what to do from here.
If you get the recovery image from lolinet, you can boot that (or flash recovery) and then enter fastbootd

Solution:
Flash everything ***except*** those flashed in fastbootd
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
The last resort: use LMSA rescue, but your phone will be wiped

Hello friend,
Did you ever resolve your issue with the touchscreen?
I've just down the same thing using Magisk. Everything was fine until I flashed the magisk.patched.img. The device booted up but the touchscreen doesn’t work no matter what.
Please let me know of your solution.
Thank you kindly.
