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?

I have unlocked bootloader again and do a factory reset from TWRP recovery, now the phone seems works correctly!!!:good:
Now I should try to root the phone with Magisk or SuperSu, right?
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?

This is to re-brand the phone from Chinese to EU version...I don't think is my case.

Take a backup before make root. You don't see files because is some issue with decryption in TWRP. I achieved root with Magisk but I don't remember exactly steps

I think it's too late
Anyway I can re-flash all thing from begin.
Then I can't use TWRP with the phone encrypted ( PIN, password, fingerprint, etc...) ?

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.
[UPDATE]
Hey,
Just to say, I managed to fix the biggest mess up in technology ive done in a long while (thank God). So everything seems to be working fine now.
Thanks

Hey,
I recently flashed the Pixel Experience Rom, which automatically activated the "pin at boot" function of Android. That was fine until I tried to root my phone, so booting into TWRP I was greeted with a decrypt screen. I typed in my PIN and it failed. I have reboot my device into TWRP about 6 times now from TWRP as this is a known bug to no avail. Then, panicking, I went on boot loader and ran "fastboot wipe **" (The ** being system, boot, recovery, userdata etc etc). By doing this I stupidly deleted my NAND backup. I then reflashed TWRP. TWRP still needed to be decrypted.
I then used "adb push" to transfer the zip file of the ROM to my phone while in TWRP, I then tried flashing it from TWRP but it returned error code 7 and couldnt mount /system /sdcard etc etc as it had been encrypted.
Right now I am trying to flash the stock firmware from fastboot. I have flashed "system.img" and "boot.img." Yet there is no userdata file.
I have rebooted my phone but it takes me straight to recovery, which is still encrypted.
Any help will be massively appreciated.
Thanks
-Rory
Heyyo, just a heads up format data does a reformat on user data partition and disables encryption.
But I believe I have the proper solution to TWRP in my test thread under BETA downloads as Indian EUI ROM has forced encryption where as Chinese ROMs seem to have none which is why switching from Indian EUI ROM to custom ROMs gives decryption errors.

It's a tale as old as time. I have a functioning A3 with TWRP and magisk installed. OTA Jan security update failed. "Installation problem" was all it said. I expected this. I think all my magisk mods are systemless but I did flash a custom kernel in TWRP to get kcal.
Ok I'd gone through this for the December update. I downloaded fastboot ROM and extracted the boot.img. I made sure it was correct. Laurel sprout V10.3.13.0.PFQEUXM. But flashing it with either TWRP or fastboot I got the dreaded error screen on reboot where your options are try again or factory reset. Yes I flashed into the active slot. Even when I chose to factory reset and started fresh, I still got the same error when I tried to update.
I also tried to flash boot+system but also got same corrupted error. I tried using flash_all_except_data_storage but got an antirollback error. I've gone back to a nandroid backup for now but obviously I need to get this sorted out before the Android 10 update.
Any ideas? Thanks
Mi A3 doesn't have anti rollback mechanism as far as I know. If you installed TWRP, you also most probably enabled "allow system modifications" (there is a one time prompt on the first start of TWRP, pretty much everyone just dismisses it without reading). TWRP remembers this setting and for each subsequent boot into TWRP it automatically mounts system as R/W, breaking OTA even if you don't flash anything.
You need to reflash stock fastboot images for boot and system with the same version as you're currently running. If you are getting data corruption error, it usually happens when you flash system image from incorrect region or versions differ too much (you're flashing too old image).
Don't install TWRP (or make sure that you delete its settings first and then do NOT allow system modifications).
As you already performed a factory reset, I'd start from fresh state again - switch to active slot A and reflash whole ROM from fastboot, including data wipe (flash_all.bat if I'm not mistaken, but I don't have it in front of me, so double-check its content that it doesn't lock your bootloader).

Background:
A few months, after receiving my Mi Note 10 Lite Miui 11 to 12 update, I finally rooted the phone using the Magisk patched boot method. All fine.
A while ago, with the latest MIUI 12 minor update we got, I lost root again. Now I wanted to root it again, and tried to find if there was already a working TWRP for this phone.
What happened:
After googling a bit, I found a post on XiaomiEU that had instructions to install a working TWRP (to install the rom). So I followed the steps, flashing vbmeta and the twrp image. Rebooted to recovery and as it was installed, I rebooted to system. After that, the first problem. It would only boot the twrp, not system.
To fix this, I got the latest stock fastboot rom and installed it via miFlash (with flash_all_but_storage option). Managed to boot again to Miui. After doing the google restoring steps, I found out that all my internal storage files were encrypted.
What I've tried so far:
formatted data (not internal storage and data/media) and tried again
installed a different TWRP I found here in XDA that supposedly would decrypt the files (twrp-3.4.0-14-toco-mauronofrio). It asks for the encryption password when starting and I get a success message when entering the right password, but even in the recovery file manager the files are encrypted.
installing recovery rom through TWRP without formatting data
(side note: on system, the Xiaomi Cloud restore seems to be always stuck without restoring anything and there is no way to stop it)
Can anyone please help me get my files (photos and videos, more importantly) back? Is there any hope? The files are there and I know the password, there must be something I can do...
Thanks in advance
Do you want to keep MIUI or go to a custom rom ?
Good afternoon. I ran into a problem that I can not install magic on the device. This requires installing TWRP, which has not been officially released. There is an article on this forum that you can install TWRP, but if I do this, the phone goes into an endless TWRP download - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-bkl-emui-8-x-unofficial -twrp-3-2-1-0-working-recovery-from-view-10.3798751/
Version - 3.2.1-0 does not work. I tried iterating through the versions and found 1 which opens TWRP but it doesn't work properly - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-emui-9-0.3883991/. It doesn't clean up, it doesn't install. Some errors in the logs.
I also tried through this instruction - https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=904618&st=6220#entry89786439
Next, I tried to find the firmware for this phone, which is extremely difficult. Android version - 9.1.0.xxx
I need this in order to pull out the boot file from there and patch it through the magic. I found the firmware from Colombia. I'm trying to install via HuUpdater. He tries to install 3.2.1-0 TWRP, which does not work, and install the firmware through it, which also does not work. I installed another TRWP where it runs but nothing works. Through it does not want to be installed. My bootloader is unlocked.
I no longer know how to get root rights.
Several times I was able to get root rights, but I could not do a factory reset and the magic did not work properly. It's critical for me. I need to be able to do a factory reset.
Help me please.
Hi! You tried to get the boot.img from your rom, and patched it with magisk, and flashed it to the phone?

I can't do this because this requires a TRWP which is not in working order.
