Do you have an sd card? Or usb drive with a usb otg connector? If so, (Not sure if cm recovery us close to twrp, but if it is) then you should be able to copy the data folder to one of those and then flash a new Rom and then copy and paste some of the directories. Orr do a nandroid backup if /data, and then flash a new ROM and restore that data backup afterwards. They would have to be the same Rom as you have now though
Sorry it took me so long. Next time quote me so I get a notification

No, twrp that I'm aware if will not wipe data. Unlocking the bootloader will though if it's not already unlocked

Hold down a set of buttons (Not sure which ones for you, but force restart it and then switch to buttons to boot into recovery. Google the button combo )
How did you flash cmw recovery? Should be the same as that

I found this guide on how to flash twrp and root, you shouldn't worry about rooting until you get booted up first... As for the force reboot, I couldn't find out how to force power it off, so try some of the following:
- Take our battery (if there is a removable one)
- Hold down the volume down and power simultaneously for about 10 seconds (maybe less, maybe more)
- If there is a physical home button, try holding volume down, power and home. (Or volume up)
Once powered off (when the screen turns off, you maybe have to be quick before it restarts. If it does just re-power it off and try again) then hold down power and volume up to boot into recovery mode. You shouldn't need twrp if you can boot into cmw. But I do recommend it when we are finished...
You'll also need a custom (or stock) ROM to flash. I'll show you how to push to your phone with adb if mtp doesn't work in cmw.

Alrighty so if you have fill adb drivers than great, if not this should still work fine...
Download this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298958289
Has adb in it, ignore all the root stuff. So extract the file to your desktop and open the folder. Put your ROM in the folder and name it something easy like rom.zip (important it's not rom.zip.zip)
When in the folder, hold shift and then right click inside the folder and select "open command window here" and then type "adb devices" and make sure something comes up with a ton of random characters. If nothing comes up (make sure phone is plugged in lol) then install your phone's drivers. Then try again. Next type this exactly as follows (if you names it rom.zip)
Code:
"adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"
**NOTE the space between rom.zip and /sdcard**
This should take awhile, depending on how big the file is. You should see a pulsing dash in the left side of the command prompt. It will stop blinking and bring up a new line when done. Now go into cmw and flash the file in your sd card (rom.zip)
Going to sleep, I'll reply early in the morning before school

Root.bat is for Samsung yes, but adb is universal. We aren't worrying about root
Since you didn't have adb installed this is a lightweight version so you don't have to install it. This is just the file link I had on hand

That would help you to boot into recovery if thats what you are finding , but i guess you are trying to find the recovery image of stock rom so that you can have the stock recovery ready to flash when you want to make your device complete stock?
You can just download the ROM from Sammobile (if you are samsung device owner)
and then just extract it and u will have the recovery image
If you own the HTC device, download the RUU from htcdev.com
and then when you will open it up keep clicking next button untill it says you to connect the device, and when you reach that point , open Run from start menu , type
Code:
%temp%
hit enter and the in the search box write ROM and press enter,
you will get a rom.zip (may be rom1.zip and rom2.zip) and then extract it and you will have your recovery.img (if there are two zips then just extract both of them and see in which zip recovery.img is present)
i am using allwinner a13 motherboard tab !!

I recently changed my framework-res.apk and now I'm stuck at the boot animation. I don't want to completely reset my device with a kdz. I've looked around and haven't found much about recovery. I have the original apk file, but I just need a way to push it. Anyone have a way?

Do you have cwm installed ? If not you can try: phone powered down , hold vol+ home + power, should bring up message saying something about service center..
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw, remount /system
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
adb push /path-to/orginal/framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
Thanks for the reply. I didn't read about CWM before this happened, otherwise this would be easy. I've held down every button combination at boot that I can think of and get nothing like that. When holding vol- + home + power I get an Android and a progress bar that causes the phone to reboot after no more than 10 seconds. Nothing shows up in the device manager during that time either.

fastboot + cwm recovery only works if you've unlocked bootloader
easiest way to restore your phone now is by s/w mode ,either lg tool or offline method
or "vol+ and home and power" and the rest from 2nd post in this thread

I had cwm before i unlocked boot loader...install with 9 installer.apk and choose test version (stable version won't boot)..plus if you have a CWM backup( they r also in the forums as well) adb restore is 50 times faster than using LG Update tool.

there are two types of cwm recovery, one uses 2nd boot and other recovery partition , if bootloader is locked and phone won't boot you can't use neither and cwm backups are useless

As a young developer I HIGHLY recommend becoming very familiar with ADB, it saved a BUNCH of times on my Galaxy S...its great if you can get the hang of it, all commands are the same for all devices, the help section is sort of sketchy, but with a lot of trial and error, I picked it up nicely

The best thing to do (if you haven't done so already) is to flash the kdz (thanks cmahendra and everyone else for y'all hard work) and start from scratch. Second, install artas182x (thanks Artas!) cwm and make a backup. I had to learn the hard way too

Sent from my LG-P769
To the OP i am currently in the same boat as far as not being able to boot and not being able to access adb. Have you figured anything out or are you still stuck? Before chimes in I do have CWM( the lights flash on reboot) but when i press the -vol button the phone does nothing.
Try connecting in s/w upgrade mode ( holding vol + while inserting usb to phone) it should load some drivers and you should be able to connect in adb. If not connect in every mode possible, to load any drivers(they will still load even though your phone isn't showing any signs of life as long as you have the installed LG drivers previously)

You are the guy who developed the custom ROM for A27 Bolt, right? How did you take the nandroid backup before flashing the new ROM? I have been meaning to ask you this.
If you have taken the backup using CWM recovery, then which process did you follow for flashing the recovery? Is it the one mentioned in this forum for A27 Ninja?

That defeats the purpose of the CWM recovery, as we need to be able to get into recovery when the phone is BRICKED, so I looked around for this kind of problems. I was using the ROM Toolbox Lite for rebooting into recovery. I am currently using the the following through ADB to boot into recovery when the phone is turned off, so it will also work on brick:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
As far as I understand, if I can extract init.rc ouf of boot.img, (init.rc opens with notepad) find “service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh” and comment it (put # before the line and the next lines in this paragraph or the next command), and then save init.rc and rebuild the boot image then flash the boot.img back, then we will be able to get CWM by pressing the power + volume up button.
The problem I am facing with this are 2:
There is a separate init.rc in my "System" directory, and it contains the line. Should I change this one or extract the init.rc out of the boot.img?
How to extract init.rc out of boot.img and after editing rebuild the boot.img?

having same problem with mmx a27 so u guys find the solution ? plz help .... (only vibration problem after flashing dreambolt rom )
If Micromax Bolt versions have same h/w configuration, switch off the phone, then press and hold VOLUME DOWN(-) button, and while press-holding it, press POWER button, keep holding both buttons. An 'exclamatory sign inside a triangle with a phone icon' should appear on the screen after 10-20 seconds. This is the recovery mode. Tested in Micromax Bolt A26. Connect the phone via USB cable to PC. Open ADB tool on command prompt, and type 'adb devices', it should list your phone with an ID and as 'Recovery' mode. This is the only way I found to interact with the Micromax Bolt phone, since I couldn't find any hard reset key combinations to show up the ClockWorkMod Recovery options on screen. Remember, incase if your phone is soft-bricked/bootloop stuck, and it is non-rooted and USB-Debugging disabled, chances to recover the phone OS and it's data is less, expect to FLASH it with a new compatible stock/custom ROM using Spreadtrum Tool and necessary PAC file using an Auto-Ignition Cable (This can be done without need for Flashing Box). If the phone is rooted/USB-Debugging enabled when it was bricked, then it can fixed just by using ADB tool to wipe cache/user data or any other ops, without necessity for flashing ROM.
Ok, so I rooted my LGOG E970. I figured I better unlock it as well, so I used FreeGee and unlocked it. I tried to download CWM but it said it couldnt download file. So I thought I would reboot my phone. Now, all I get is the google logo, with the unlocked key underneath, and it then goes to the LG logo and back to Google and shuts off. I tried to hold down power and volume down, nothing, and power volume up nothing.:crying:
any ideas? Thanks in advance! I love this phone!
CJ
You too, huh?
I did this the other night, and when the CWM failed to install I went to download it myself... That's when I saw that CWM for geeb is 6.0.3.8, not 6.0.4.5 like FreeGee shows. (Looks like FreeGee has moved on to targeting G2 or another... Oops.)
I hope you backed up your EFS, because mine was screwed up and I needed to manually restore it from the backup I'd taken. (I've had my phone rooted for 9+ months, finally got fed up with stock and was looking to get onto a 4.4 ROM)
So here's what I did:
Held power button until phone was properly off (failed boot seemed to be a still partially on state)
Held volumn up first, then started holding power.
When phone vibrated slightly, I let go of power and kept holding volume up... You should be in boot loader now.
When your phone is in the bootloader, connect to your PC (Make sure you have the proper drivers if you use Windows; I use Linux which doesn't have the same nonsense setup for drivers like Windows does)
Make sure "fastboot devices" shows your phone and then type: fastboot flash recovery _____recovery file name.img____
Press volume down twice to select "Recovery", and press power once to select it... You should be booted into the recovery that you just installed.
Once you're in a recovery, you can push a ROM zip via ADB, flash, wipe data/dalvik cache and reboot.
thanks, Just a little more help

I try to go to recovery and it just goes blank. What program with my crazy windows would be best to get a stock file to the phone? Or any other ideas>
thanks again

Yeah, the stock recovery won't boot if you try it either. I forgot to tell you that. If you drop in a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), it will work fine and you can both create a backup of your data and flash a new ROM...
If you want to try to get back to stock, LGNPST is what you should try. But to be completely honest, I don't know if you can LGNPST from the state that it's in. I haven't tried, and I'm using a custom ROM now (the whole reason I unlocked the bootloader to begin with).
bummer

Yeah, I got that too. I don't know if I got it fixed due to changing ROM, using the suggested recovery from the ROM, or if it was due to me restoring my EFS backup.
I flashed the TeamWin recovery found in the PSX instructions. Then I flashed PSX + Latest kernel + Banks Gapps + Banks Google Camera + AT&T NFC fix + SuperSU. I manually restored EFS from an ADB shell while in recovery.
When I booted I had: LTE works, Wifi works, NFC works, Camera works, ART works... The only things failing for me are the following:
Cell provider shows up as "Maritime" (display bug; as mentioned, LTE works fine and I'm on AT&T)
Settings > Developer Tools > Geeky Process Stats (does nothing)
Settings > Lockscreen > Slider Shortcuts (crashes as soon as I tap the middle ring)
LogCat is spammed with "QCOM PowerLock: Failed to acquire lock" whenever my finger is on the screen.
/system/xbin/mount --bind doesn't work (neither does mount -o bind). It gets sorta half-way-there, because the target directory can't be removed, but isn't bound properly it seems.
Other than that, it's been fast and smooth.
Hello everybody,
since saturday I have a really big problem. Until now I tried to find a similar problem from an other person in the internet in order to fix mine but that was not possible.
So in my last hope I am now writing it down here. Hopefully someone can help me:
The phone was/is rooted and has TWRP as recovery installed (v3.21). The software is still the original EMUI.
On saturday my Huawei Honor 5x (Model KIW-L21) gave me the notification that there is an software update avaible. So I backuped everything with TWRP to my sd-card and copied it to the computer. After this I ran th eupdate. The update downloaded the new software, then rebootet to the recovery, installed the update.zip automaticly and rebootet again. Then there was written on the screen "Huawei software installing ... DO NOT unplug usb or press any key!". Also there was "0%" all the time. It did nothing. also the phone was not connected with usb.
After an hour I long pressed the power button. after two seconds there was the text "Warning: The powerkey is long pressed, please release powerkey to avoid system crash" displayed. I pressed it longer and the phone turned off.
Now I have the following problem. When the phone is turned off, I can:
press the power button: the phone starts, the "honor ... android" logo is shown but nothing more happens. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> device found but no permission to enter commands)
press the power button and the volume up button and the volume down button at the same time: normally this should take me in the recovery mode, mut it doesn't anymore. Instead the "EMUI" update screen is shown (see above "huawei software installing ..." with "0%") ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume up button at the same time: I get a huawei menu with three buttons: "reboot", "wipe user cache" and "factory reset". I tried both (wipe and reset) wich both finished without an error. But nothing changes ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume down button at the same time: I get an "eRecovery" menu from huawei with three buttons: "Reboot", "power off" and "Recover with latest software". The last button lets me connect to my wifi and then "searching for packages", with failes all the time. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
This problem occures with and also without the sd-card. Also there is no "update.zip" or "update.app" on the sd-card.
I really hope somebody can help me. I only need to get into the recovery. If I am there I can recover the backup or install a new ROM. That would be no problem for me. But at the moment I get nothing :crying:
Or maybe a tool to reset the phone completly? to start over from the beginning?
greetings,
Christopher
PS.: Thanks for your efford.
PSS.: Sorry for my bad english, I really try my best and hope that you understand what I am trying to say.
Same problem here... Please help us :'(

to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

AGAIN AND AGAIN, when you receive an update notification you MUST first flash back to stock recovery or it won't update with TWRP !!!
- To recover a stock recovery you need to boot onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
From there you will loose your connexion with your computer. So unplug your phone and reboot manually holding down the Power button for some seconds.
If the system ever update your phone, BE VERY PATIENT !
The above note should probably part of a sticky !!!
If you don't get back to your Home screen and if you need TWRP back, reboot again onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (or whatever the custom recovery name).

The problem a lot of people were having is TWRP flashed enough of the update that they lost custom recovery and had no way to get to the bootloader / fastboot ... that's why I posted the instructions above and in about 4 other threads.
Did you ever get your phone updated ?

Working great thanks a lot!
"fastboot & rescue mode" with a working usb connection.
What is the next step? If I now flash the stock recovery, does the phone manages to finish the system update?
Or should I flash the twrp recovery and not the stock revocery?
greetings,
Christopher
EDIT:
I flashed the stock recovery and also the twrp recovery. both times i startet the phone and hoped the installation of the new software will go on. But it didn't.
So my problem is still resistant. so what can I do? How do I stop the update from blocking my recovery? I do not need the update. maybe I can reset my device with the fastboot access somehow?

All the full updates are in the file depot
Use stock recovery plus the full update for your version.
You have to hold volup + voldown + power to start the update
Refresh TWRP / Root and your good to go

I found the stock recovery at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51004 but I have no idea what update I must use and how to use it.
Could you please give me a concrete link with a little introduction? Do I have to copy the update file to my sd-card? or do I have to use the "fastboot update *" command?
(Most of the files are for "KIW-L24" but I have a "KIW-L21" ... is there a significant difference? Od do I can use also the other files?)
Also, don't I have to stop the wrong update first?
greetings,
Christopher

I tried these "UPDATE.APP":

http://www.androidvillaz.com/2016/0...honor-5x-to-stock-lollipop-firmware-b130.html
both did not work. I copied them into the "dload" folder in the root of the sd-card and started the phone with volup+coldown+power.
The only thing the phone said was "Software install failed! ... Press powerkey to conrifm ... Shutdown system now".

if the update.app doesn't work you'll have to flash TWRP and the Stock Rom and wait like everyone else that's stuck trying to update the L21

The only way I know to flash a ROM, is to go over TWRP.
So I now did the following:
Phone power off
connect to pc
voldown+power
in the fastboot flash the recovery from twrp
shutdown
copy the "customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip" to the sd-card
volup+coldown+power what normally starts twrp, but only the huawei update manager is shown
I only need twrp, no update and nothing else.
What options do I have left, because "flash a ROM" is not working ...
How can I stop this terrible update that is blocking my twrp?

I flashed TWRP using "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img". I also used this one last time (one month ago) and it worked then and also now.
Flashing was successful, but when I press volup+power I get a huawei menu.
At the top there is the "EMUI" circle and below there are three buttons:
Reboot system now
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I can move around in this little menu by using the volume keys.
But this is not TWRP.
And normally I enter the recovery by using volup+voldown+power. But this is currently blocked by the update progress from huawei.

http://forum.android.com.pl/topic/205126-instalacjaodzyskiwanie-systemu-rom-za-pomoca-fastboot/
This is the polish version of manual, I will write you how to do it:
1. Download ADB and Fastboot
2. Extract to c:/adb
3. Download from this thread firmware for you (extracted version!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684 If you have problem what firmware you have to install, take look at the back side of phone, at the down you will se KIW-L21 or 24 (or another). Copy all files to adb folder
4. Rund adb program
5. Write in the command line: cd c:/adb
6. Connect phone to usb to download mode (power and vol- combination)
7. Write in fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recover.img (or recovrey .img, see the file and type it name) - wait for install
8. And now: If the flash is succesfull, reboot the phone to recovery (power and volume+) and wipe all data. Phone have to work.
But if flash is not succesfull, plug again usb with download mode
9. Write this commands: fastboot flash cust cust.img -wait for install
and: fastboot flash system system.img -also wait, system.img can took a while
10. Now you will enter recovery and wipe all data
11. Again plug usb cable and install firmware with those commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

With this I am not able to start my phone again. It will boot normally and I have a clean android. No userdata and no root.
So I now did the same like last month:
Unlock OEM -> not necessary, because it is already unlocked
install twrp with fastboot
reboot to twrp and there it is again
I did exactly what you said and also I did exactly the same thing I did last month but both times there is the same result: TWRP will not show up.
The "stock recovery" is blocking twrp in some sort of way. I can do whatever I whant ... volup+power out of the fastbook mode, or with "adb reboot recovery", or other ways ... twrp will not show up.
How is this possible? I also tried different twrp images. (The "kiwi_twrp_2-27_recovery.img" and "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img" out of your repository, and also the "twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img" and "twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img" from the twrp website itself ... always the same result: no twrp)

First off thanks for the very informative post.
Without actually having the phone in my hands I'm also stumped at what to try next.
After flashing TWRP and still in the boot loader unplug the USB before you reboot with power and volume up.
That's all I can think of right now

I must thank you for all your help
So I now read some more articles and tried some things. So there are old problems solved, but also new problems came up:
For me it is no longer possible to flash a recovery that is permanent. I have no idea why but I am ignoring it, because I can start the phone with voldown+power into bootloader and then use a usb-connection to enter the following command:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img

So i can enter twrp temporary and because I do not need TWRP this often, that is ok for me.
BUT:
with the extracted "UPDATE.APP" and flashing some "*.img" files manually (see my last post), I have a more or less working "L21C432B130" version of android.
So now there is everything original (recovery, system, ...).
The update to "L21C432B140" is still not working. But that is also something I can live with.
So now I whant to restore my old system in order to have my old data/apps/... .
So I enter my temporary TWRP, go to Restore and select my old backup. Then the restore starts. Restoring EFS, Restoring efs2, Restoring Recovery, Wiping System and Formatting System using make_ext4fs. All of this in this order are successful. But the last operation "Restoring Data" failes with the following error message:
extractTarFork() process ended with error 255
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I searched on xda and found out, that this could be ANYTHING. I tried five or six different methods in order to fix it. In the end I am not sure what really fixxed it, but now I can restore my old update without any error. The phone now runs and I have all my old data.
There are four main differences on my phone to the time before I tried that damn update:
1. I have less internal storage
2. I have no TWRP permanently avaible
3. I can not Factory-Reset
4. I can not use a "UPDATE.APP" inside a "dload" folder on the sdcard
(the last two things always failes)
But as long as the android system now runs smooth again I can live with these things.
Is there maybe anything else I should be careful? maybe a known bug/problem that I have not seen yet?
The reason why I wanted to update in the first place was, that I have problems with my sd-card.
Some Apps do not allow to use the external storage. Easy Voice Recorder is the main problem. But also the Call Recorder has problems with it.
Is this a well known bug? Does a update helps? And if so, how do I update? (Now I know how to rescue my phone, so I could try it again xD )
Or does this problem gets solved with an custom ROM? If so, what good custom ROMs are out there for the honor 5x?
Or is this a problem that is not possible to fix on the honor 5x? Because these apps does not have this problem on my HTC One M9 ...
And thanks again so much for all your help

I must thank you for all your help
So I now read some more articles and tried some things. So there are old problems solved, but also new problems came up:
For me it is no longer possible to flash a recovery that is permanent. I have no idea why but I am ignoring it, because I can start the phone with voldown+power into bootloader and then use a usb-connection to enter the following command:
So i can enter twrp temporary and because I do not need TWRP this often, that is ok for me.
BUT:
with the extracted "UPDATE.APP" and flashing some "*.img" files manually (see my last post), I have a more or less working "L21C432B130" version of android.
So now there is everything original (recovery, system, ...).
The update to "L21C432B140" is still not working. But that is also something I can live with.
So now I whant to restore my old system in order to have my old data/apps/... .
So I enter my temporary TWRP, go to Restore and select my old backup. Then the restore starts. Restoring EFS, Restoring efs2, Restoring Recovery, Wiping System and Formatting System using make_ext4fs. All of this in this order are successful. But the last operation "Restoring Data" failes with the following error message:
So I searched on xda and found out, that this could be ANYTHING. I tried five or six different methods in order to fix it. In the end I am not sure what really fixxed it, but now I can restore my old update without any error. The phone now runs and I have all my old data.
There are four main differences on my phone to the time before I tried that damn update:
1. I have less internal storage
2. I have no TWRP permanently avaible
3. I can not Factory-Reset
4. I can not use a "UPDATE.APP" inside a "dload" folder on the sdcard
(the last two things always failes)

from your current state you can try flash recovery with TWRP by choosing install / image / your version of TWRP / choose recovery / swipe to flash
Now choose reboot / recovery
As for the sdcard try the sdcard fix for kit Kat in the play store. It works for some older apps.

If you mean getting my phone updated to KIW-L21 B140, no I still don't get it !
But I did try with KIW-L24 B151 with the result I already mentioned previously : almost bricked... ^^
But I always managed to get into Bootloader/Fastboot to flash back any kind of recovery...

All the full updates are in the file depot
Use stock recovery plus the full update for your version.
You have to hold volup + voldown + power to start the update
Refresh TWRP / Root and your good to go

So i have this issue too. im so stupid for doing this. I can go into fastboot mode and i flashed stock recovery and when i rebooted into recovery it still said that it was updating the firmware. I flashed twrp after that and it had the same message. am i doing something wrong or is it my phone? I tried rebooting into bootloader using adb but only fastboot will reconize my phone so adb also wont work. could you guys maybe help me?
Edit: Yessss. i got it using the temporary command. Thank you guys all for your help. it was so stupid of me to flash it with twrp still on it. Thank you all very much
