Before:
I just unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom ROM (LineageOS 15.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-y6/development/lineageos-15-1-huawei-y6-2018-t3832278) on my Huawei but it won't let me flash the TWRP from adb. I tried before flashing the custom ROM and also after but no progress. I tried with 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' as well as 'fastboot flash boot recovery.img' because I knew some smartphones include the recovery in the boot.img but I am always getting the same error:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16544 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.522s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
finished. total time: 0.553s
I am not an expert but I understood that 'recovery' partition doesn't exist. I found some possible solutions online such as writing 'fastboot flash RECOVERY recovery.img' or 'fastboot flash erecovery recovery.img' (because Huawei calls the stock one 'erecovery') but they both gave me another error:
Code:
fastboot flash RECOVERY recovery.img
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
sending 'RECOVERY' (16544 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.522s]
writing 'RECOVERY'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.528s
UPDATE: I found, maybe, the correct name of the recovery partition and it seems to work:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
< waiting for device >
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (14026 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.443s]
writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...
OKAY [ 0.323s]
finished. total time: 0.767s
BUT it actually doesn't work properly because when I boot into recovery it boots the stock one. I tried other solutions found on the net like instantly unplug the phone after the flash and reboot it into recovery immediately but again it boots into stock one...
OTHER UPDATE: I managed to find and flash a TWRP that can boot up but it shows the internal storage 0MB not allowing me to install any .zip file. Because of that, I cannot install SuperSU to get root access.
I tried installing TWRP also with stock ROM but still showing 0MB because the phone is encrypted. To disable encryption I need to install the bluspark TWRP (As I found online), the problem is that bluspark won't boot and gets immediately overwritten by the stock ROM as it happened with the one I mentioned in the first update of the post.
Now I will try buying a microSD card and see if it shows right so that I can still flash .zip from the microSD card.
Now:
LATEST UPDATE: The SD card is working properly and I see it as around 60 GB instead of 64 but that's not the problem. I can see the .zip files I'd want to flash but when I try to do it it says me that it failed to mount every single partition and after some research I discovered that my Huawei has all the data encrypted. After other research I found that there are some TWRPs like blu_spark that could decrypt the data but every version I tried doesn't work and gets immediately overwritten by the stock recovery.
Does anyone know other methods to decrypt all the data on Huawei? Otherwise it's impossible to flash any .zip. Actually it flashes it but it fails to update the partitions state so the system doesn't recognize the changes.
Rooting Huawei is so difficult.. I will buy an OP5t as soon as I have the money XD.
Y6 2018 twrp
Any progress? I'm also looking for a version of TWRP that works with the Y6 2018.

I followed @neo.ank's all-in-one guide and am having trouble flashing a custom recovery (twrp-2.7.1.0-condor.img). My bootloader is unlocked and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img works without problems:
Code:
C:\Folder>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'recovery' (7300 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.235s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.232s]
finished. total time: 0.471s
I then use my volume up and down buttons to select "Recovery mode," which returns me to the bootloader (the logs say "Boot up failed"). So I boot up into Android and adb reboot recovery, which works.
Now I see the "dead robot" with "No command." Huh, oh well, pressing power and volume up shows the "Android system recovery." A step ahead, but where is TWRP?
I think the guide I followed may be outdated. Has anyone had success using it to flash recovery on the 2015 Moto E?
TL;DR: Successfully flashed TWRP recovery, but it seemingly disappeared when trying to boot into it.
Fixed. I used the wrong recovery.img. Using the surnia recovery instead of condor works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=11449
Hi all,
I have an LG G5 H850. I'm trying to install TWRP using ADB. I've had it previously and it worked fine. I'm pretty sure the bootloader is unlocked. Anyway, when I do "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1.1-0-h850.img" I get the following output:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (19076 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.431s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.345s]
finished. total time: 0.781s
To me, that looks as though thats worked fine. Now when I try fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1.1-0-h850.img I get the following:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.432s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.456s
Has anyone got any ideas on this?
Same here
I am having the same problem, please help
Had this issue a while back. I resorted to doing complete flash with LGUP to the latest version and then it worked. I had been messing around with various ROMS on different android versions.

Don't happen to know where I could get a rom that it would work with do you?
Managed to solve this. Flashed the TWRP image using fastboot flash recovery <img> via adb. Then I unplugged from USB, and got into recovery mode by doing power + volume down buttons and quickly release and repress ont he LG logo. Answered yes to both questions and got into TWRP.

That is the required way of doing it. You have to boot into recovery after flashing the recovery or it gets reset.
Hi,
Having a similar problem since trying to update my ROM ... and the Magisk install failed. Now I can only get to fastboot, can't get to recovery. And, tried this,

I only want a working rom with root so i can use titanium backup. Any help is appreciated. After spending 12 hours today Im out of googlesearches and forumbrowsing ideas. Worst case check back in a week or so and I'll upload a youtube vid in which I'll destroy my practically brandnew phone with a hammer because I'm starting to lose my nerves. I really didnt expect it to be such a problem to install a new firmware and rooting my new phone. What options do I have?

In Oreo, recovery and boot partitions were renamed.
So, to flash recovery (TWRP in this case), you use
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Make sure you use TWRP for Oreo
to flash stock "boot", extract RAMDISK from stock oreo honor 9 firmware, and flash using
fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img
new partitions are the following:
boot = split into RAMDISK and KERNEL
recovery = split into RECOVERY_RAMDISK, RECOVERY_KERNEL, RECOVERY_VENDOR, RECOVERY_VBMETA.
eRecovery = Same as above but named erecovery
DLOAD should work...
if there are ROLLBACK firmware for Honor 9 you could try this to go back to Nougat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
I'm not sure how different Honor 9 and Mate 9 recoveries are, but you could just flash back stock recovery if it doesn't work.
sorry for posting this in the wrong forum section. If a mod could move this would be appreciated.

Too bad
hey, don't worry, you were just stupid trying to flash to the wrong partitions (nougat partition names), recovery should be recovery_ramdisk and kernel is split into 2 partitions on oreo: kernel and ramdisk.
You better read everything carefully next time, its posted all around the forums here.
Regards
too bad
but you can try to update with latest version [B330]

I'm fixing a friend's cell phone, I had restore stock ROM with SP Flashtools because it did not start, when doing it, and system boot, all most app crashing and still keeps all the data as photos and settings. I enter the custom recovery, and I do all the Wipes, when boot again, it is as if the wipe was not executed, I deleted some files from the internal memory, restart and the files appear again, I have tried to flash a custom recovery by ADB and see this error :

OKAY [ 0.331s]

FAILED (remote:

I do not know what else to do, since it is impossible to install or run an application to root and install a custom recovery with the application because the cell phone only show crashing mensages.
Bump!!
Hello there,
So I tried to flash my phone to install custom ROM now the phone is dead. Currently, it bootloops in Orange State and I'm just able to access fastboot.
I tried downloading stock ROM and installing but it seems that those are corrupted and aren't working. Lastly, I tried downloading TWRP and installing but it seems that there is no official release. I tried downloading one from a website and installing but it was of no help.

I'm out of ideas. Let me know if I'm wrong somewhere and if you guys have a twrp version that can run on this phone. Plus how to install it. It will be of great help if you guys can recommend a custom rom for this phone.
