Hello everybody
I have already unlocked the bootloader on my Honor 9. That worked. But what does not work is the installation of the current TWRP. I go directly after the instructions and have inserted the Recover.img in the ADB folder and open the execution command with Shift and right mouse button. But under Windows 10 x64 bit the following error occurs after entering "adb reboot bootloader" or "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
"fastboot: The name" fastboot "was not used as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
recognized executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if the path is correct (provided
contain) and repeat the process.
In line: 1 character: 1
+ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
+~~~~~~~
****+ CategoryInfo: ObjectNotFound: (fastboot: String) [], CommandNotFoundException
****+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: CommandNotFoundException
I did it exactly according to the instructions:
2.) Download “adb-fastboot-tool-2016.zip” unzip it Download TWRP recovery.
3.) Rename TWRP recovery IMG file “twrp-3.1.1-0-stf.img” to “recovery.img” and copy to adb-fastboot-tool-2016 Folder.
4.) Open cmd windows in adb-fastboot-tool-2016 folder by Shift + Mouse Right click.
adb fastboot cmd - Install TWRP 3.1.1 Recovery and Root Honor 9 EMUI 5.1
5.) Connect your phone to PC.
6.) Now paste this command on command window and hit enter to reboot your phone into bootloader (FASTBOOT) mode.
adb reboot bootloader
7.) Flash TWRP recovery by this command.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8.) Reboot the device.
fastboot reboot
It just does not work. Can someone help me ?
P.S.
It is only Windows PowerShell in blue. No black input request
Thank you
I suggest you to try with a windows 7 PC

If you have your twrp 2.1 on pc, do fastboot install (see the twrp page for details) then adb push a rom to the prime and install it... you should be okay then....

When you plug the device into the pc, is it recovery or fastboot mode? Not sure it will show up if it is in a bootloop. Also if you are in recovery, you should be running adb from within the folder the exe file is in... basically open the folder, press and hold shift then rightclick and select open command prompt here then type adb devices and see what you get.

The adb commands won't work in fastboot... you need to use the fastboot commands.
From: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/93
Put the attached file in your nvflashpack folder where you see the fastboot.exe, this way you don't need to type paths. In the same window press and hold shift, rightclick in the window and select open command prompt here. Make sure the prime is already in fastboot mode.... now, copy the command below and rightclick in the command window and select paste (avoids typing mistakes) press enter and with any luck you should be able to boot to twrp recovery...
You will need adb and fastboot for this method. Download the above file, check the md5, rename to twrp.img and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot binary (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img
If you use the attached file you don't need the modified bootloader, you will have an older version of twrp but the whole point is to get you running first...
After you do this, boot into recovery, connect the prime to the PC and with the rom in the same folder as adb.exe, open a command window like before. Type adb devices, you should see the prime... then do adb push /the name of your rom.zip/ sdcard/
For the name of the rom, I usually right click the file, go to properties and copy the name.. (no spelling mistakes) again, right click in command window and paste and be sure to put .zip at the end. This should take about 5 minutes to complete. Then in recovery, go to install and you should be able to flash the rom....

You need to rename the file see the red text above. I would download nvflash from here.... http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ the windows zip file.... unzip it and from within the window get your command prompt.... make sure you have the twrp file I attached earlier in the same folder... then copy fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img and rightclick and paste into the command filed press enter..... it should install twrp....
now if I have misunderstood and you don't know how to get the prime into fastboot hold volume down and power, when you see the white text in the top left corner, press volume up then volume up to select fastboot of course the prime will be connected to the pc before this...
btw we were all noobs at one point... this is our school....

Elephone M3 quickest way to UNLOCK Bootloader, ROOT and TWRP (no SP FlashTool) Windows/ Linux.
This is only provided as a guide and/ or an alternative, in case some people find the process of flashing with SP FlashTool for the Elephone M3 complicated (either installing the correct drivers, or correctly using the tool without accidentally wiping Vram, or anything else important).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Windows:
Things you will need:
1. adb and fastboot
2. usb driver for Elephone M3
3. a copy of a correct version of TWRP for the device, copied in the adb and fastboot folder. Rename your TWRP.img file to recovery.img
4. latest flashable supersu.zip (V2.82 and above) and the recovery.img on external SD card.
Process:
1. Install the above.
2. Boot your phone normally, and enable developer options.
3. From developer options enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging. Connect the device to computer and enable MTP transfer.
4. On your phone's screen you should see a message with a "key" or "fingerprint", accept the connection.
5. Navigate to the folder you have installed adb and fast boot and copied pre-mentioned file.
6. Open a command prompt navigate to the adb folder (not powershell prompt if you are on windows 10 1703) and type: adb devices
If all is well you should get a number on the left and "device" next to it.
7. type "adb reboot to bootloader". You are now in fastboot.
8. type "fastboot oem unlock". Carefully look the really small letters on the elephone' s screen and confirm. Reboot the device. Really important as after unlocking the bootloader, a factory reset is triggered.
9. Once the factory reset is done, once again enable developer otions and usb debugging.
10. Open a command prompt again and once again get into fastboot mode (as previously described).
11. Type "fastboot boot recovery.img". You should now see TWRP.
12. From TWRP select install and install supersu. Wipe dalvik/cache and reboot.
13. Once boot-up completes and you make sure you have root access (you should), for the last time reboot to bootlader.
14. Again "fastboot boot recovery.img". From TWRP select install, install image, select recovery.img from your extenral SD and flash it to recovery.
If all went well, you should by now have unlocked the bootloader, have your device rooted, and also have a functional TWRP recovery! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Linux:
Things you will need:
1. abd and fastboot (sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot) ---> or similar for your version of the system.
2. a copy of a correct version of TWRP for the device. Rename your TWRP.img file to recovery.img
3. latest flashable supersu.zip (V2.82 and above) and the recovery.img on external SD card.
Process:
1. Boot your phone normally, and enable developer options.
2. From developer options enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging. Connect the device to computer and enable MTP trasfer.
3. On your phone's screen you should see a message with a "key" or "fingerprint", accept the connection.
4. Navigate to the folder you where you keep the TWRP recovery.img and open a terminal.
5. type "adb devices". If your device is recognized you should see a number and "device" next to it.
6. type "adb reboot to bootloader". You are now in fastboot.
7. type "sudo fastboot oem unlock". Carefully look the really small letters on the elephone's screen and confirm. Reboot the device. Really important as after unlocking the bootloader, a factory reset is triggered.
8. Once the factory reset is done, once again enable developer otions and usb debugging.
9. Open a terminal and once again get into fastboot mode (as previously described).

11. From TWRP select install and install supersu. Wipe dalvik/cache and reboot.
12. Once boot-up completes and you make sure you have root access (you should), for the last time reboot to bootlader.
13. Again "sudo fastboot boot recovery.img". From TWRP select install, install image, select recovery.img from your external SD and flash it to recovery.
If all went well, you should by now have unlocked the bootloader, have your device rooted, and also have a functional TWRP recovery! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
