Obtained phone with buggy touchscreen. Flashed CM to see if it fixed it. Didn't. Trying to go back to full stock for return
Recovered stock device via TWRP then installed what I thought was a stock recovery.img, except it wasn't - it was a CM recovery
The CM recovery only lets me boot to recovery or the bootloader - no other options are functional
In the bootloader the FRP is locked and doesn't let me flash TWRP or stock recovery
What should I do to replace the CM recovery with TWRP or stock when the FRP is locked?
THanks

I have just now read your post thoroughly you said that the touchscreenis buggy,is it twrp or in the system
If it's twrp don't worry I too have the same problem in the version I tried eg. 3.0.2.0,3.0.1.0,3.0.0.0
But if it's in system try factory resetting
And change smart power saving mode to performance
But to unlock frp(i suppose you have already unlocked your bootloader) just go into developer options and enable OEM unlocking option
Ok I got the stock recovery back:
I booted into the bootloader and used the local command window to fastboot boot a twrp image from my computer
With TWRP booted (but not installed) on my phone I put in a sd card with a stock recovery image, and used the booted TWRP to install the stock recovery
Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to relock the boot loader, but hopefully they overlook/don't care about that for a return - I did not root the phone
U can relock bootloader in honor5x
I think I have a similar problem. I bought new KIW-L24, I unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp to go to RR Nougat ROM. When I started Twrp to install ROM it said "Comparing tarz 2.2 to 2.5" so I read that I had update to MM.
I went to settings>updater and started update to M331 EMUI 4.0 ROM on the twrp recovery instead of stock recovery. I have M331 ROM now but I can't fastboot the TWRP recovery anymore. It sat twrp installed successful but the EMUI Stock recovery opens up when hitting Vol. + and Power instead of Twrp.
I noticed fastboot menu shows Phone unlocked but it does not say FRP Unlocked anymore. Does that prevent me from installing custom recovery now? Please...any help is appreciated.

Can the frp relocking stop me from flahing twrp? Or is it this stock rom I am on? Do you know if other people have problems flashing twrp on L24 B311 MM update? Could I have caused my issue when I updated to the official rom using the twrp? I didn't think the update would work without stock recovery but it did. I did factory resets but I still can't install install any custom recovery. Can I go back to earlier stock rom?
I followed your instructions and deleted Google accounts and factory restored. I go to bootloader and it says Phone Unlocked but does not say FRP unlocked anywhere. I flshed twrp anyways and although cmd window shows it flashed OK when I reboot the stock EMUI Recovery opens again.
Edit: Now I use adb and mfastboot.exe to open twrp and do a backup. I don't know if I install a different rom if I will able to finally install twrp. I wonder if this 331 stock rom is the problem or FRP is issue here. Never had this problem with my Gold Honor 5X.

Ok. Ive never done this this way. When installing Twrp image it asks where to install? Select Partition to Flash image: Boot, OEMinfo, or Recovery. Do I just press Recovery only?

ok I installed image, chose recovery, and installed superSU_2.46.zip but it still only boots up EMUI Stock recovery. Unfortunately its stuck in bootloop now so now I cant even adb/fastboot into twrp anymore. Now my only option is holding vol +- and Power to install update from sd card (dload folder).

I ended up trying everything. I held volume - and Power to force Fastboot&Rescue Mode. I did fastboot boot twrp_kiwi.IMG. When in Twrp I install twrp_kiwi.IMG (For permanent Install) but EMUi recovery still stays.
I believe the custom recovery is installing but NOT where it needs to install.(Probably a different partition). I noticed a erecovery when I extracted an update file with HuaweiExtractor with does program. I DID get out of Bootloop by applying update from SD card (Force Update Volume - and Plug in USB cable). I rolled the FW back to B130 Emui 3.1 Firmware. I still need to fash Twrp and update this phone now.

Hi,
After running out of patience i unlocked boot loader on my RN 3 (SD VERSION), and flashed lineage OS, but i did not get VOLTE on it.
To fix that i flashed some files again (and probably forgot to enable developer options), then i rebooted to the phone, and now the bootloader has locked again. I tried booting into EDL mode/TWRP recovery, but the device booted back to lineage OS.
I did not even flash GAPPS just to check if VOLTE is working(basically i booted into the system), now i cannot go to the EDL mode and also not into TWRP recovery. Please guide me on how to get out of this situtaion. I had unlocked bootloader by flashing MIUI 7 through EDL (replaced emmc, and then unlocked it in CMD through unlock-go command)
I am only left with lineage OS with no apps (Tried installing Play store and Play services, that also force closes).
Please help me out with this. I know i messed it up by probably not turning on the developer options before flashing the files.
Please let me know where exactly i messed up so that i do not repeat the mistake. And please guide me on how to unlock bootloader and flash stuff again. Thanks.

What twrp you have have if it is zcx then just flash any rom and if you are wondering check this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154/page39
And yes don't even try to flash your backup zip from miui backup but if it's twrp backup then you are good to go

I have TWRP 3.1.0.0 and not ZCX. BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED INDEED.
The backup is twrp backup, not MIUI.
So what you are saying is that i should UPDATE THE Current recovery to ZCX through flash image option(IN TWRP) right? And then flash SUPERSU?
And after that CAN I Wipe the currently installed Lineage OS, and then install it again along with CM firmware and VOLTE Patch??? (As mentioned here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...t/volte-patches-nougat-based-cm-roms-t3509257)
Please confirm, and if yes, please confirm the order of flashing of above three files.
The main issue is VOLTE.
Also, the backup that i took with 3.1.0.0 can be restored using ZCX Right???
I am not sure but to be on safer side just flash the miui backup first boot in the ROM , set it up ,then try to other stuff and after that try to install zcx twrp if you dont want the unlock your bootloader again

How did u find ur bootloader is locked?
Hi all people,
first of all, I want excuse me for not my perfect English.
I have Honor 9 from few days. And I think to have bricked it.
I have unlocked bootloader correctly.
I have flashed recovery this TWRP recovery with the intention to proceed to root with Magisk or SuperSu. I accidentally and unconsiuosly do factory reset then the phone goes bootloop. (it power off and power on continuously) with the alert "your device has been unlocked and..etc".
Yesterday, reading this thread, I flashed, from fastboot console, boot, recovery and system, the phone resets two/three times then goes to eRecovery where I do a factory reset.
After a factory reset the phone works correctly and seems successfully unbricked. So I re-flash TWRP recovery.
But this morning, during the attempt to install from TWRP one between Magisk or SuperSu (I don't succeed to do it beacuse the phone was crypted and I don't see zip files from TWRP). I have reset the phone but goes bootloop again.
I tried to re-flash boot, recovery, system and cust more (that I don't have flashed yesterday). Now the phone goes eRecovery and ask me to connect to download latest version and recovery, but don't ask me to do a factory reset.
Now I don't know what I can do.
How I can solve this situation? I want only unlock bootloader (done!), install TWRP and have root permission. Now I don't think to change rom.
Something similar happened to me. It seems like the TWRP provided has some issue..... After installing TWRP I had a bootloop problem. I have resolved installing Magisk. It seems that Magisk patchs something. If you can access TWRP try to install Magisk (put the zip file on external sd). In other words: copy magisk zip on sd card - during the bootloop you have the chance to power off phone - Power off - Power on in recovery mode. If you have TWRP correctly installed Honor should go in recovery using TWRP . Install Magisk and see what happens...

I have tried to flash TWRP recovery again to do install Magisk from sd card. I have done it but the phone doesn't work fine.
So I have put rommco05 TWRP Backup into sd card then restored it from TWRP restore (boot and vendor img). Now the phone seems have bootloader locked, in fact I don't have bootloader warning at the power on. Now in fastboot mode the phone says me that I have Phone locked and FRP unlocked.
How can I exit from this situation?
Try this

I have a question about TWRP. From TWRP's file manager I don't see the files that I put in the internal memory. It's because I have used finger print to lock the phone that encryptes files?

After I have installed Magisk (v14.0) now I have problem with google play services which don't download and do updates apps.
If I do a factory reset again I can solve it?
Update:
After I done a factory reset from TWRP recovery
and formatting data partition the phone seems working perfectly (I don't know why, but before format data the phone says me that I have only 150mb of memory space)
I say "seems" because there's something getting me in trouble, for example, I don't have anymore ringtones in the settings menu.
And I don't know if I have lost something else.
Exists a possibilty to restore all contents of the phone?
You could try this and flash your phone back to stock. But then you would need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP again. Another way would be to unpack an image of your ROM and flash system and other parts via fastboot. Of course this could be risky and you could brick the device.

If I understand it well...
I have 2 options:
1) Rebrand the phone and flashin, then at end I have back the phone stock.
2) Unpack the image of ROM (what it means?) and flash system and other parts via fastboot. (Which are those parts? How?) But this procedure is more hazardous then rebrand procedure?
I have understand right?
1. Yes, correct. I would recommend that. Everything is explained in the thread I linked. Of course everything you do could potentially harm your phone, but you should know that already.
2. Get an update.app file for your specific phone model (there are threads already here, just search a bit, or use Firmware Finder), open it with the Huawei Update Extractor and extract the parts you want to flash (like system or recovery). Then flash them via fastboot. I tried this because I was in a situation like yours, but it didn't work for me. But in theory it could, because you would replace the faulty parts of your firmware.

Hi, I don't say it because I have replaced the phone with another same.
Now I'm starting to unlock bootloader, installing recovery TWRP and rooting the phone.
I hope to avoid bootloop this time.
Goodmorning everyone!
Yesterday I have:
- Unlocked bootloader correctly!
- Installed TWRP correctly!
- Make a TWRP Backup of all partitions of the device, except data partition because TWRP gives me an error during backup attempt.
- Then I start the device.
- After start the device I go to recovery TWRP to install Magisk, but the phone goes bootloop.
After reboot 2-3 times on the screen appears for a few moments a message of eRecovery that have restored something but I don't know. Then the device shows me the eRecovery that asks me to make a factory reset.
At this point I shutdown the device, go in TWRP to flash Magisk unistaller and the device goes out bootloop and works fine but without root.
How I can solve this problem and install Magisk and have root finally?
Some question:
-When I flashed TWRP (via fastboot) and I configurate it, example language, hours, etc... TWRP don't save the settings, in fact when I go in TWRP again I do remake the settings. Why?
-Then I go in sdcard I don't navigate files, I see folders with casual characters. This is an effect of encryption of the device?

Answers to all your concerns go here mate---> TWRP doesn't decrypt data. Done.
Hence: weird folders in there, nowhere to store its settings prefs, about Magisk it's another story, if you want root go SuperSU latest beta.
Regards.
a basically did what that guy did, got root installed via TWRP but my google apps are all busted.
I tried flashing the update_data_full_public.zip and update_full_hw_usa.zip I found using the russian device lookup link switching trick but I the HW errored when I tried to flash it in TWRP and my play store still broken.
This is my version of TWRP built for the 2017 Moto G5S. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery. To enter fastboot mode, turn off your device, hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go.
Differences between upstream TWRP and my fork:
My original green theme
No SuperSU
No TWRP app
No HTC Dumlock cruft
Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption)
To temporarily boot this recovery:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
To permanently flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The download is available on the downloads tab.

Hi,
i just flashed your TWRP. The flash was successful, after booting to recovery twrp came up just fine. I wiped /data to decrypt, then rebooted the phone... Now it seems either bootlooping or bricked.
(Of course i unlocked the bootloader before flashing)
The phone just shows the bootloader-screen (blue background, red M-Logo, white letters "powered by android") with a small text in the middle "bad key).
Nothing happens. I cant even shut it down. Holding the power button for 10 seconds seems to start a reboot (screen goes black) but the bootloader-screen immediately shows back up and stays. Theres nothing i can do, no adb/fastboot access either...
Any suggestions?
Edit1:
AH! Pressing VolDown + Power gets me to fastboot/recovery... Phew. Guess i flash the stock rom first before proceeding any further.
Edit2:
Succeeded, nice!
Hi,
I flashed this TWRP. After flashing I went to recovery mode. Format Data failed as /data unknown. Flashed stock ROM. Again flashed TWRP. This time it just bootloops into TWRP recovery. When I power off and ON again, it bootloops and goes into TWRP recovery again and again. Any idea what could be wrong? My guess is I screwed up partition table. But not sure.
Thanks
KS
I went through flashing stock ROM, TWRP once again. After flashing TWRP, I went to recovery repeatedly and did 'Format Data' every time. I flashed Magisk. System booted fine. I verified by power off/on several times. Seems to be working fine.
Thanks
KS
Thanks for your hard work at bringing TWRP to the MOTO G5s.
It took me a while to install it on my XT1797, as there was some strange message during boot which said
ID: Bad key
But after many many times bricking and unbricking, I am now finally rooted using Magisk.
Hope that we can see some custom Roms for this great device soon.
I tried it with XT1797, but I can not boot and flash twrp.
Is this twrp compatible with XT1797?
hello, your bootloader and unlock it?
did you enable USB debugging?
that you put the fastboot cmd?
Hi . Thx for You job . My phone stil a live But I have a question .
how about this one ? At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda

What is the question? For me it worked without such vertiy disable stuff. Simply unlock the bootloader, boot and/or flash TWRP, root your phone or do anything else. When TWRP asks to change /system, answer yes.
Root and TWRP. And a great phone.
Just need some Roms, pray that they will come!
Thank you!

Squid TWRP 3.2.0-r1
I've posted a new build of my TWRP with the latest changes from upstream. It brings better support for Oreo zips while still supporting older ones. It also has improvements to the reliability of backups.

Hi peeps
New Pocophone owner here. I got my bootloader unlocked earlier today and now trying to flash the official TWRP 3.3.0.0 recovery from twrp.me, simply following the fastboot instructions on the device guide.
However every time I reboot the device, the recovery always reverts to the stock MIUI recovery?
What am I doing wrong here?
I just got the phone and have upgraded it to MIUI 10.3.6 as well. I am wanting to flash pixel experience onto it.
Do following, instead of flashing your recovery.
Use this method boot and flash Magisk. Reboot back to your system and install Flashify and install your choosen Recovery with it

in stock rom you need to flash magisk right after flashing twrp else it will get replaced by stock

What the post above says is correct. However, if you don't want Magisk, after flashing TWRP, reboot into recovery and then into system. You may retain TWRP. However, this doesn't work for everyone.
Hi all, I fixed the issue by completely wiping my phone via TWRP and clean flashing pixel experience ROM. After rebooting on pixel rom TWRP persists.
It appears that MIUI rom has something that keeps reverting it to stock MI-recovery.
If you are on MIUI and flashing TWRP, once the recovery is up for the first time, you need to head on to reboot>recovery again in order to overwrite MIUI stock recovery. So the whole process would be like this;
i) Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the name of the image)
ii) Fastboot boot recovery
iii) Once TWRP is up, Swipe to allow modification and then go to Reboot>Recovery and reboot into TWRP once more. That's it! You have just overwritten the stock recovery and are now on TWRP!! Now you can reboot to system and TWRP will remain on your device. There's no need to flash Magisk etc if you want just TWRP and nothing else.

I did those exact steps and it didn't work. It ALWAYS kept getting overwritten.

Did you follow step 3? You can't boot into system right after twrp is up for the first time. You need to reboot into twrp twice before you boot into system. This is what I do whenever I flash twrp and it never failed me yet.

Yes, I even flashed the recovery image from within TWRP and rebooted to recovery again. Still didn't work.
Note this was on the new 10.3.6 stable MIUI release that got rolled out recently. Not sure if it has new detection or anything that rolls it back.
Anyway I have resolved my issue now all is good.

How did you fix it?
I was running stock MIUI with root and TWRP recovery. After flashing the Pixel Experience Android 11 ROM, I didn't flash TWRP again. I tried many attempts (I haven't mentioned everything here to keep the post shorter) to install TWRP again, and I managed to do it successfully once. However, now when I boot into TWRP and select the A partition, it can't decrypt with my password and reboots the system, always opening the bootloader. When selecting the B partition, if I format the data and flash Magisk, it opens up the system (it opens the bootloader without flashing Magisk). But after booting into the system, if I boot TWRP again and reboot into the system without doing anything, my settings app and Bluetooth stop working. Then I have to boot into TWRP again, format the data, and flash Magisk again to boot the system normally. I can't install any Magisk modules either. However, the root is working.
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do?"

flash stock miui according to your region with mi flash (don't lock the bootloader!)
this generally solves any problem and you can go back to custom roms after booting into miui.
Anyway , i recommend you to use the recovery provided with the rom itself as twrp can give issues sometimes.

Here's a complete explanation what I have done:
Initially, I was running stock MIUI with root access and TWRP recovery. However, I decided to switch to the Pixel Experience ROM. I downloaded the Pixel Experience Android 11 version and flashed it directly from TWRP since I didn't have access to a PC at that time. I only flashed the ROM file and didn't install the Pixel Experience recovery image, assuming that my TWRP would remain intact. But when I rebooted into recovery after the ROM installation, it booted into the Pixel Experience recovery instead. I couldn't find an option to flash the recovery image, only an option to apply an update through ADB sideload.
Fortunately, I managed to use a friend's computer and installed all the necessary ADB and Fastboot drivers. The computer could detect my phone in ADB sideload mode, but when I tried to boot into the bootloader, the PC couldn't detect my phone. Despite multiple attempts of booting into the Pixel Experience recovery and enabling ADB sideload, the PC couldn't recognize the fastboot mode. Strangely, every time I booted into the bootloader, my phone automatically powered off after displaying the Redmi logo. Holding the power button didn't help as it consistently powered off after showing the logo, without accessing the bootloader or recovery mode. I was afraid my phone had become completely unresponsive.
After numerous attempts, my phone unexpectedly booted into the bootloader again. This time, I connected my phone to another device using BugJagger, which successfully detected my phone. I used the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" followed by "fastboot boot twrp.img" to open TWRP. However, I couldn't decrypt it using my password. I then flashed TWRP again and tried to boot into the system, but it always reverted back to the bootloader. I went back into recovery, selected partitions A to B, and flashed Magisk ZIP, DM variety ZIP, and LazyFlasher ZIP (without fully understanding their purpose).
Finally, my phone successfully booted into the system. However, upon rebooting into TWRP and then rebooting the system without any changes, my settings app and bluetooth stoped working. To resolve this, I had to boot into TWRP once again, format the data, and flash Magisk to restore normal operation.

yes i think you messed up with your phone for real. there was a lot of things that was incorrect.
don't mess with the slots and don't flash things you don't know about... you can ask here if you have doubts...
follow my advice and reflash stock miui with miflash to start from 0
and don't do all those things again... once you are done with miui... just tell what do you want to do and we'll guide you properly

Who told you to flash DM Verity and Lazy Flasher
We don't need these things in our device
Don't mess up with Active Slot
If you try to change your Active slot into Inactive slot, once you Reboot to system, you will go straight to fastboot
You need Android Bootloader Interface to detect your phone in bootloader and ADB Composite to detect your phone in ADB, such as : Google USB Driver r13
Why you don't ask before doing anything, we have global community chat in telegram, for sure, we will help you in possible way
I assume you need back to stock rom to fix this issue
