Hey,
I wanted to do a nandroid backup so I did adb reboot recovery to go to TWRP, now I can't boot into system, I'm stuck in twrp, I can't even power off the phone it keeps booting up again and again. Please help i'm really lost. Thanks
I did boot to System but with another key combinaison (volume down + power) , I think it's all messed up and the phone thinks that the recovery is the default boot option.. idk how to change this

If you can reach the stock recovery, just put update.app file and install it. If you can't, try to flash boot.img and recovery.img manually. After that, try to install rom again.

Okay follow these step, if you don't understand any step ask again. But follow these:
Download the UPDATE.APP of the Build number you were on before.
Extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from that UPDATE.APP
Flash all these files via bootloader mode, to boot into bootloader mode, once a loop is over and you see blank screen on your phone, quickly press Vol DOWN button and while pressing it connect your phone to a PC. If this doesn't work and you get into recovery, then in recovery go to option Reboot, in that select Bootloader.
Once in bootloader mode, flash these files by firing these commands from a CMD, make sure files are situated in the same location where you open up the CMD.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now after your phone boots up normally, put the same UPDATE.APP from which these files were extracted in dload folder of your external SDcard.
Now switch off your phone and press all the three buttons(Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power) simultaneously.
Flashing process will start.
Hope this helps.

@DigiGoon No need to flash system.img actually Just cust, boot and recovery is enough (i think). I forgot to tell cust but it's not necessary always.

I'm having similar problem as OP. I get access to TWRP(by holding power+vol up), but not fastboot anymore. My TWRP is in chinese and but I found the reboot menu and the alternatives are: System, Power Off, Recovery and Download. I think i've tried them all and none of them brings me fastboot. I went into loop when I tried to install SuperSu through TWRP on stock rom. Is there hope? Yesterday I managed to get into fastboot, but can't remember what I did. I heard something about draining the battery and then theres hope?

Several options you got:
Install older SuperSU. I remember I had the same thing and the only way was to downgrade SuperSU. 2.5x, I think.
Try to access fastboot - turn off phone, keep vol- pressed and power up. Release vol- when you see fastboot screen. Try it with and without USB PC connection.
Try to deplete your battery. It works in other devices as after charging again, boot.img behaves differently. Don't ask me why, but if the phone charges as it is, no harm in trying.
Wipe all partitions - Dalvik, cache, data, internal storage and system. And then install a custom ROM from sdcard or USB-OTG. You can access H7 content from PC, through USB, while in TWRP.
Huawei eRecovery
I got into Huawei eRecovery EMUI, but when I try to "Download latest version and recovery" and connect to wifi it fails:"Getting package info failed". The other options are Reboot and Shutdown. Could this be useful?
Another question how to transfer to sd-card when in twrp. The phone is detected in windows as MTP thingy, but in adb shell no devices is found... I'm too noob for this.
Got into fastboot mode, and flashed all the imgs except system.img where I get error "cannot load"... Got the ADB drivers now, but still adb shell finds no devices. It appears that my TWRP is gone, and instead I get Huawei eRecovery. So my problem now is that I dont get system.img flashed, still stuck at honor-logo, and can't push files with adb, I get "no devices". Any tips?
Got it now, thank you very much! But what's the point in doing the last steps with dload when everything seems to be good?

Please share your solution with others, so that your post can be referred.
Doing a forced updated (dload) gives the absolute assurance you flashed all the partitions correctly with all the *.img compressed files in the update.app file.

When you flash the partitions manually, we are not flashing all of them, only some of them, and some partitions are not in regular img format, so by doing the three button update we can put all the partitions in their respective places.
Another benefit of doing force update is that if you don't know your build number and flashed system.img, cust.img etc of some other build then by doing a force update all the img files of same build are flashed.

Hi,
I have bricked my Honor 5x after flashing custom recovery. This these the steps I followed:
1) Unlocked the bootloader
2) Flashed TWRP recovery
3) Flashed root
4) Tried to update OTA
Now the phone is stuck at boot screen. I can enter recovery by pressing volume down and power, but now is stock recovery. And I don't know what to do.
Can someone help me?
OK u can't OTA update with twrp AND U SHOULD try adb flashing twrp through fastboot and maybe restoring a nandroid if u have one if not there's some u can download around here
Hey, my phone is bricked too. How did you manage to flash adb during twrp. How did you restore the backup and where did you get it from?
Or could someone please explain to me how I can get back to stock. I saw one thread with the .app file, but there you had to go the setting or something, which I can't do.
I have twrp installed and I have the L21 version.
Ok, I figured it out. I took the backup and the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/unrooted-stock-rom-t3308902

I was able to get my phone back to stock using the update.app file and the Huawei Update Extractor
Download stock firmware and extract the update.app file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
Download Huawei Update Extractor
http://d-h.st/wwfQ
Use the Huawei Update Extractor to open the update.app file and extract system.img, Cust.img, boot.img, recovery.img
Copy the extracted files to your adb folder
Connect the phone to the PC in fastboot mode, to do this power off the phone hold Volume down and insert a usb cable connected to the PC
Type these commands on ADB:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
After that you should be back on stock firmware
I tried to do that too. But the problem was that my adb didn't recognize my phone. Of course I had everything installed.
When I unlocked the bootloader earlier, it worked. But there I had to enable USB debugging. When my phone was broke, I couldn't enable it. Maybe that's why?
However, my phone is working right now, so thanks anyway.
fixed

I have a practically dead honor 5x, flashed a L-24 firmware on L-22. TWRP doesnt let me do anything, no touch functions work so i cannot restore my back up.
Fastboot commands on format /data and flash cust cust.img fail with the error "Remote: Command not allowed", bootloader is unlocked, pls help.....I need to flash back the default cust.img to get it back to normal
SOLVED: Downloaded the official firmware, placed the "dload" folder which contains the update.app in the root of the sd card, went into download mode on phone (vol up + vol dow + power) and the system installed the firmware automatically.....booted back into the stock system now, next will reflash TWRP and restore back up

Yes, it is working perfectly.
Hi, sorry for hijacking a thread but I thought it'd be better than making a new one.
I did pretty much the same as the OP, unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery, rooted and then stupidly tried to do an official update on the phone (I believe it was kiw-l21c432b140)
The phone is just now stuck at the boot screen, I can get into fastboot mode but cannot use ADB, says device isn't found no matter what I try. I also tried putting stock firmware on the SD card and going into download mode (EMUI) but it just says software install failed.. Any help appreciated, only got the phone today and have spent longer trying to fix it than I have using it..
Thanks!

As long as you are able to boot into fastboot you still have hope
Are you able to get into TWRP? (Power + Vol up) If yes, download the L-21 stock rom in the file repository thread and flash it. In all likelihood, that will solve any corruption of system files. If not, read on.
Did you check if you have installed the ADB drivers? I am assuming it should have been installed considering you flashed TWRP, but better to check and reinstall. Device not found is usually a driver error. Alternatively, you can install HiSync, it refreshes and replaces the drivers needed for Honor 5X. Further to installing that, try adb fastboot commands and flash the stock recovery using the steps in this post:

When I do power and vol up I get EMUI recovery, not TWRP I put the stock rom on the SD card and tried to install it and it just says "Software install failed" and the only option is to shut the phone down again.
I had all the ADB drivers installed, will reinstall it all and see if it helps. When I run adb now and use the "adb devices" command it just says "List of devices attached" and doesn't show anything..

Oh then you have stock recovery, are you using the update.app provided by Huawei? Or using any ROMs/images posted here? It is possible that you may have a corrupted download, look up the Huawei site for downloads in the support section for your region and download the official update.app, try with that

It wasn't stock recovery before, after the phone updated it went back to stock and wouldn't boot. I downloaded the firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684 and that's what I try to install through recovery and it says there's an error, a load of other texts flashes up before it says error but it's too quick to read. When I have better internet I'll re-download it in case it was corrupt. Thanks for your help, hopefully I can get it fixed as I only just got this to replace my old phone. Would be a shame to spend the money on it and have no use from the device.. Just wish the computer would detect through adb as I can get into fastboot easily enough.

Sure, we all help each other
BTW, just to be sure, you using the single "Update.app" file, that runs into a couple of gigs or the extracted one? You can't flash extracted Update.app through stock recovery.
HiSync (the official Huawei tool) also provides an option to recover the phone, tried that?

Oops! I am no techie, so am at the end of my wits, but thing I do suspect is a corrupted download, so if you can try downloading the file again from a stable connection and try is all I can think of. I've had this corrupted file thing quite a few times, so suggesting.
hi so my buddy honor 7 got semi brick after he tried to root , luckily twrp recovery still works so i flashed custom rom H7T B370 V10.1 AND IT WORKS FINE.
I WANT TO FLASH A STOCK ROM .
is there a safe way because im scared of this phone honestly i use to have htc senstation i change the rom every weekend lol. but with this one i need advice plzz
thnx
Hi, you are supposed to do a TWRP backup before flashing/ try to root, so just restore it.
Envoyé de mon PLK-L01 en utilisant Tapatalk
Theres no backup
You have to flash the files extracted from B371's UPDATE.APP, the files you need to flash are system.img, boot.img, cust.img, recovery.img
and after doing that, do the famous three button update with that UPDATE.APP only.
Hope this helps.

Follow below steps and you are good to go:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.

Go to SuperSU and in settings select full unroot.
Reboot the phone and check the unroot with some app you might have installed that requires root privileges.
Extract recovery.img from update.app file inside of B370 zip update file.
Install minimal ADB and fastboot in your PC
Install latest Google ADB driver
Reboot your PC.
Connect your H7 to PC.
Reboot H7 into fastboot mode.
Copy recovery.img to ADB fastboot folder in your PC.
Run ADB in your PC.
Run ADB commands:
fastboot devices - should reply with a device (yours)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Copy the update.app from B370 zip file to a "dload" folder in your phone. Either in root of SDcard your root of phone.
Turn off phone.
Press simultaneously vol+- and power until you see any screen. Should be the update screen. It will update then reboot.
Factory reset and your done.

Please boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot. It might take a bit longer to boot but if does not boot for 15, 20 minutes then you are in bootloop again.
Report back if that happens.

Probably because either of these:
1 - still using TWRP recovery - need to flash stock recovery.img
2 - corrupted boot.img - flash cust, boot, recovery and system img files from CURRENT B1xx or B3xx ROM update file.

Wat is the full model of ur phone? KII-L21?
Go to file depot and get the recovery for ur phone (B130 or B140) or better still get the stock rom from the huawei website of your country and use Huawei Extractor to extract the recovery file. You just have to make sure it tallies with ur software version. B130 or B140 or whatever it is. Copy the recovery file to adb folder and rename to 'recovery.img'
When you get the recovery file, boot into bootloader/fasboot mode using the code below in adb.
"fastboot reboot bootloader"
Then flash it using the code below.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
This should get you stock recovery.
"fastboot reboot recovery" should get you into recovery. To show it's changed to stock.
Note: If you are not sure of the recovery to get, post a screenshot showing your phone information including the software version. Settings > About phone. That's the one. Cheers
Follow these steps and you are back on stock in no time:
As I don't know if you modified system or not, I'm gonna show you the full method.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
So earlier today I was trying to install my stock recovery. Was a success but I also accidentally installed my stock recovery over my boot image. So now no matter what keys I hold to get to bootloader or recovery it automatically takes me to the recovery screen. Yes I have tried wiping data/factory rest and also tried caches partition. I have also tried doing it the older way by using adb/fastboot but my device wont connect. Yes I have the correct drivers. Im thinking its because I cant get into my phone to enable USB debugging. So any ideas on how I can re flash a new boot.img and recovery.img?
So you did a fastboot flash boot and typed in your recovery file?
Try the forced update method.
Download the latest firmware for your phone, extract it to get dload folder containing update.app, copy that dload folder to an SD card. Since your phone already boots up into recovery it should start the update.

Boot to TWRP then copy boot.img to your phone and then use Install / Image / choose boot.img
you can boot TWRP from the bootloader screen with fastboot boot TWRP.img
To enter the bootloader - turn off phone - plug phone into the PC - boot up phone with vol down + power
Hi,
Here is a long story of bricking my device, I wanted to downgrade my device from Oreo to Nougat, and somehow I installed wrong software, mine is RNE-L21 and after successful downgrade with this method:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3vqb8hPZIQ
version of software I installed: RNE-L21C461B153CUSTC461D001
my device was NEO-something, in settings it showed 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB, screen resolutution 1280x720 instead of fullHD and 32GB of internal memory instead of 64, so I wanted to change that.
This time I downloaded (not so sure about this now) proper version of firmware: RNE-L21C432B135CUSTC432D001, and used another method because previous method didnt work, link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76503686&postcount=46
the HuRUpdater scrpit worked fine, I booted up the device and nothing was changed, so I was like, well, ok then.
but then I noticed that my bootloader was locked, so I wanted to unlock it, and after typing the *fastboot oem unlock code* and selecting yes on my device, It rebooted and just stuck at the "Powered by andriod" logo.
I was trying to enter TWRP but id doesnt work, its stuck at the loading screen, I was unable to enter fastboot, but now I figured out that when I discharge it, I'm able to enter fastboot.
So now I'm stuck, I don't know what should I do.
I saw a guide for flashing .img files from UPDATE.APP, but that guide was for Oreo, and I've got diffrent .img files inside my Nougat UPDATE.APP so I don't want to risk:

you should format by using fastboot. First download your stock ROM and extract with Huawei Firmware Extracter. Select UPDATE.APP and extract following files:
erecovery_kernel.img
erecovery_ramdisk.img
erecovery_vbmeta.img
cust.img
erecovery_vendor.img
kernel.img
ramdisk.img
recovery_vbmeta.img
recovery_vendor.img
system.img
Reboot your device in to fastboot mode (recovery mode) and flash those files one by one:
fastboot flash erecovery_kernel erecovery_kernel.img
...
fastboot flash system system.img
//
Erase your userdata space:
fastboot -w
//reboot
fastboot reboot
Now go to your stock recovery and do factory reset, wide cache.
Now your device back to stock OREO

Any Ideas?
HOW I FIXED:
I downloaded this EMUI 5 Nougat, Thanks to bozka1:
https://androidhost.ru/5SZ
I extracted UPDATE.APP file using Huawei Update Extractor.
I was trying to flash everything via fastboot: BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img, CUST.img, SYSTEM.img but nothing helped me.
I found out what you can flash via fastboot here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/huawei-fastboot-commands-t3850123
There was no hope for me, so I tried to flash USERDATA.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then cmd promped something unusual:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'userdata' (24576 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.646s]
writing 'userdata'...
(bootloader) success to erase cryypt info in oeminfo
OKAY [ 1.401s]
finished. total time: 2.049s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I proceeded to flash: BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img and CACHE.img
I didn't flash SYSTEM.img because I flashed it before like 1500 times.
My phone didn't work yet so I used the DLOAD method because RECOVERY finally worked, so I shut down the device and used three buttons combo:
First holding Volume Up, Volume Down and then pressing Power Button.
There is a documentation in the firmware I downloaded, SDcard must be in exFAT format.
Thank You bozka1.

Single SIM/dual SIM ?
Try reboot your phone into fastboot mode and use command
fastboot oem get-build-number
you'll see the number of your current firmware

So I'll have to wait a little before I'll download Service ROM, my internet connection isn't the greatest, but I flashed Your TWRP and unfortunately it doesn't work;
If I hold the Power button and Volume Up - the same story as before, I see the loading TWRP screen and nothing happends,
If I let the device to boot up and then press only the Volume Up button - it says "Your device is booting up" and nothing happens.
By the way, what can happen when I'll use "fastboot flash recovery something.img" instead of recovery2?
EDIT:
I did some testing and Your TWRP doesn't boot at all on my device, I flashed another one, Catuva21 3.1.1 Nougat, and that is the one that I had before - it is booting but never loads.

TWRP will automatically overwrite Stock recovery, it's impossible to flash something from dload without Stock recovery .
Using command "recovery2" you will install TWRP over eRecovery .
Try flash Service ROM from SD card without TWRP & oeminfo flashing, but Im not sure... your system is heavily damaged and incomplete .

So the phone would boot up the TWRP without pressing anything? Damn, I might have done that typo error... Do You know if I can restore the stock recovery from the UPDATE.APP file? I mean flash it

Use Huawei Update Extractor and extract RECOVERY.img , copy it to the "Minimal ADB and fastboot" folder . Command :
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img

Yeah, I've done it already, unfortunately nothing changed. How about BOOT.img? Can this influence something?

I also wonder about just following the steps in my first post, I've got UPDATE.APP for Oreo, but I don't know if it will only make it worse.

Alright, so did it just happened randomly or did you tried to do something with your phone? Did you unlocked bootloader or flashed custom recovery etc? You need to explain what happened, that's quite important if you want someone to help you.
