Hi guys,
I just tried to do a firmware update for my COL-L29C432 to build number 151.
Unfortunately something went wrong and now android does not start anymore.
I can enter the eRecovery and fastboot.
I tried via eRecovery to download and install a new system but somehow it can not contact the huawei server but it even didn't ask me for a wifi password...
Even if i remove the password on the wifi the phone can not reach the server somehow.
I also tried flashing the build manually via fastboot (via teammt multitool) but after this the phone doesn't start as well.
Any ideas what i could try?
Regards,
flattervieh

Hello
If you have the bootloader unlocked, you can try with Huawei's Multi-Tool.
There you have an option called "unbrick".
Good Luck.

I tried that but had some troubles as well.
I downloaded the firmware which was working before, extracted the mentioned partitions and started the process.
But somehow for the "recovery" partition it says something like "the filesize of the image file is incorrect to the one mentioned from the system".
Looks like that there is somewhere a partitiontable which tells a different partition size. Cant i just overwrite everything and install android from the beginning?

What firmware did you have installed before trying 151?
If u can enter erecovery just do it with funkyhuawei. For all instructions visit their site.

If you can enter fastboot flash twrp and then use HuRUpdater to flash the build or use dload method to boot that build.

HuRUpdater can install android onto "anything whats left"?
Can I use an usbstick to access the image? As I can't boot currently I can't copy the data to the device and this one has no sd card as well.

I have to correct myself.
Fastboot is working. I can flash twrp_bkl_0.7:
Code:
PS C:\adb> fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk .\twrp_bkl_0.7.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (23542 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.625s]
writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...
OKAY [ 0.469s]
finished. total time: 1.093s
But then, when I restart and try to enter directly the recovery (pressing volume up) it just tries to start but does three times bootloop till it enters eRecovery.
Can't I just wipe and flash a clean system directly via fastboot?

I am very new to this, I rooted my Moto G4 and now I need to download SUHide in order to play Pokemon Go. When I try to enter recovery via my fastboot/abd folder I get a < waiting for any device > message. When I hold down the power + volume down button my phone just turns on as normal without entering bootloader even though my bootloader is unlocked. I tried downloading an app that loads recovery for me but when I tried that I got a "no command" screen with a little green robot.
From what I've read, it's possible I didn't flash my trwp properly? I don't know how this is possible since I just rooted my phone. I would appreciate some help, I'm afraid to take any random guesses at the risk of ruining my phone. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious or not giving enough info, I'm not very tech savvy.

Try power plus volume up button to go to fastboot mode.
If it not working then connect your android to pc and enable adb. Type "adb devices" enter then type "adb reboot bootloader" and enter. It boots your android in fastboot mode.
If adb commands not working then install adb and fastboot drivers and try again.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
In most devices, volume up + power boots up the recovery options, volume down + power boots the device into fastboot mode (volume buttons first plus power, pressing power button first would boot the device normally).

How did you install the custom recovery? Try flashing the recovery.img again (I'm guessing, since you have root, that you did not "flash" (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) TWRP but just "boot" (fastboot boot recovery.img) it and installed SuperSU).

I used the official moto g4 root guide on this website to root my phone and I'm pretty sure I booted, not flashed, the recovery img (mine is named twrp-3.0.2-0-athene). So, I tried using the command you provided to flash the recovery img and I got a < waiting for any device > message in the command prompt. My phone is plugged in and my recovery img is in the adb / fastboot folder. Any idea what this means? Thank you for the help guys
edit: If it helps to know this, my phone has usb debugging enabled and it is recognized by my pc. I type adb devices and my moto g4 serial number does indeed show up.

If you are trying to flash twrp recovery on your android then rename your twrp to recovery.
Boot your android in fastboot mode,
Navigate to folder that you have recovery. Press shift and right click and click on open command here and type "fastboot devices" and enter
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It flash your recovery to your android.

Did all that, getting:

(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
Also, per the suggestion of other users on these forums, I tried to hold down power and press volume up during the "no command" screen after attempting to enter recovery. That sent me into Android Recovery but it's not the twrp platform I used when originally rooting my phone.
How did you unlock the bootloader? have you tried: fastboot oem unlock?
You need to "allow oem unlocking" on developer options (which I guess you already did). Then reboot in bootloader: (a) adb reboot bootloader. In fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader first: (b) fastboot oem unlock (or unlock-go). Then you can try to flash that recovery.img: (c) fastboot flash recovery "name of the file.img"
edit: fastboot oem unlock restores the device to factory settings. You need to configure and enable again "usb debugging" and "oem unlocking" (which are disabled by default). You can then proceed to fastboot flash

I happened to do it, by copying the recovery file inside the platform tools folder.
Then inside the folder hold shift and right click. It will show an option to open command prompt window or open powershell window here. From there i wrote the commands, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img , and then manually booted to twrp by holding the vol up and power

Same problem here, really strange. First time I've this kind of problem.
Edit : Ok, problem solved. There is 2 things to do in addition of the main installation process (found here : https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/mido/install#installing-a-custom-recovery-using-fastboot )
Firstly, you have to enable OEM Unlocking in Developer option menu. And not only enable USB Debugging. To enable it, click twice on the button "OEM Unlock" (if you click once, it will disable automatically when exiting Dev' menu).
Secondly, once you ran
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img
, you also have to ran
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img
in order to reboot in recovery mode. Otherwise default recovery will automatically erase and replace TWRP.
These 2 steps are quite never documented, but are mandatory for Mido (Redmi Note 4) !!

So I want access the TWRP through fastboot command( since volume up + power botton wont work) but it's not reconizing the device.
I have USB debug on and I don't know if i have OEM unlock mode on because I can't find it in the developer tab.
I only want to root the device so I can install the google cam.
Any suggestions ?

Thanks for the reply.
The problem is that I have no way of reaching TWRP , If I do the Power+ volume up I will go to the MI-recovery 3.0.
What I do is, I restart the phone and only hold down the volume up button after the screen goes black. That always gets me into TWRP. But I usually use the advanced power menu because that's way easier.
Fixed the fastboot not get recognized on my computer.
I had to disable driver signature verification. Then I installed the proper TWRP version. Now the Volume up + power goes strait to the TWRP.
I am just posting here someone might find useful.
ty all for the help.

Did you forget to boot into your recovery.img after flashing TWRP via fastboot? "fastboot boot recovery.img". A lot of guides stupidly leave that out.

No my problem was that I could not even call fastboot through console because my computer wont recognize the device. If i called "fastboot devices" on the console it would not show any answer. Disabling driver signature verification made my computer recognize the smartphone usb , so all the fastboot commands worked as intended again .
You have driver problems, donwload the latest adb or install a virtual machine with Ubuntu or Debian, after that install android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot. Then connect your phone to the virtual machine and access adb from there.
Hi,
My ANE-LX1 seems to be stuck in a bootloop.
I was trying to install lineageos 16 (official) or 18 (unofficial).
First I used potatonv to unlock the bootloader.
This seemed to work OK, but in fastboot mode it said bootloader unlocked (red), FRP locked (green).
Maybe this is the problem, I'm not sure why FRP wasn't reset.
I flashed the latest TWRP 3.5.0 for anne from their site.
I was roughly following the instructions here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/anne/install
I did "fastboot flash recovery-ramdisk twrp...".
I was able to boot to TWRP and then I did a wipe. This got to a certain point and seemed to hang.
Eventually I rebooted and now the phone just boots to TWRP initial screen and sits there. I can't get to fastboot mode or stock recovery.
ADB sees the phone in this mode but commands time out.
If I power off the phone and turn it on again I get the "your device is unlocked" screen but then it goes straight to TWRP.
I left the battery run out and when I booted the "your device is unlocked" screen had the option to press a key to boot recovery but if I press nothing it tries to boot and nothing happens, if I press the volume key it goes to TWRP and again just hangs on the initial screen.
In hindsight I probably should have left the stock recovery as the instructions on openkirin and the ROMs forum say it is required.
It's been a while since I played around with custom ROMs, since before treble etc. so I've probably done something wrong.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Yes, you have installed wrong TWRP (version 3.4.0.x and 3.5.0.x is not fully compatible with our device and it's strongly not recommended do 'wipe data' runnig stock ROM , it may brick the phone).
- Try in fastboot mode run commands
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
- Try boot into Recovery update mode (turn off, then press and hold Power + both Volume buttons) and post the result.
Ya I spotted the 3.4.0 thread here just after I had flashed the latest.
I had followed the link from the lineageOS wiki and just installed the latest...
I can't seem to boot into bootloader / recovery update mode.
No matter what I do volume up / down / both I get to teamwin initial screen and it hangs there.
I get the "can't be trusted" screen I posted above when the phone turns on and then it goes to TWRP.
I think when the battery is completely drained I get the "can't be trusted" with "press volume up to boot erecovery" message so maybe I need to wait until it is in that mode and then press both volume buttons.
So I don't get fastboot access but I actually have adb access.
$ adb devices

Sorry I mean I can't get the phone into bootloader mode. I do have ADB and fastboot installed.
The phone just goes straight to TWRP.
"fastboot devices" doesn't show anything. "adb devices" shows the phone once it's on the twrp screen.

Last chance - try get the phone into bootloader mode using Huawei Multi-Tool.
If it's just a software problem, dc-phoenix and the test point method (paid service) will help you. But it is possible that the emmc memory has died or the motherboard is damaged.
Thanks for the help with this.
I managed to get the device into bootloader mode eventually.
Code:
$ sudo fastboot oem get-build-number
(bootloader) :ANE-LX1 9.1.0.360(IRLC368E6R1P6)
OKAY [ 0.005s]
Finished. Total time: 0.005s
$ sudo fastboot erase userdata
Erasing 'userdata' (bootloader) success to erase cryypt info in oeminfo
OKAY [ 1.801s]
Finished. Total time: 1.818s
$ sudo fastboot reboot
Rebooting OKAY [ 0.024s]
Finished. Total time: 0.225s
I did the erase userdata and after that I was able to get into eRecovery like you suggested by holding both volume buttons.
I thought that would have been wiped after I flashed with TWRP but I guess not.
In eRecovery it said "Data Partition severely corrupted. To reset your device, please format the data partition", so I did that and now I'm back on the eRecovery screen.
I attached some images.
Should I be worried that the bootloader screen shows "FRP Lock"?
My goal is to install LineageOS so now that I've done a reset using the stock eRecovery should I be good to follow the steps here? Or do I need to first flash a stock recovery to the recovery-ramdisk over the TWRP I flashed before?

For those who want to try LineageOS 17.1/18.1-UNOFFICIAL-GSI . IMO stable enough to be used as your daily driver. LOSQ/LiR is not developed nor maintained by me! Credits: @eremitein Requirements: basically full stock EMUI 9.1, with stock...

I was able to get into eRecovery like you suggested by holding both volume buttons.
I thought that would have been wiped after I flashed with TWRP but I guess not.

First of all - in Huawei devices we have two recoveries - Recovery and eRecovery.
- If I'm not mistaken, you have still TWRP on board (instead Recovery), can you boot into TWRP? (it's important)
- In eRecovery menu there's an option "Download latest version and recovery". Have you tried this method?
With FRP lock you cannot flash partitions from fastboot.
And yes, data partition is really corrupted ...
Unfortunately, there's no Service ROM for your build number, your phone is Single SIM, 'Three network' Ireland (correct me if I'm wrong), so you cannot restore your phone via dload method.
Hi,
Yes I selected the "download latest version and recovery" and it seemed to flash successfully.
I can now boot the device normally into the original stock 3 Ireland image.

Yes that's exactly right.
Is it possible to use a different single SIM variant stock image?
Now volume up takes me to stock EMUI recovery, with options to wipe etc.
Volume up + down takes me to EMUI saying update failed or something like that.
Volume down just boots normally, not to fastboot mode (do I need to have a USB cable inserted to get fastboot mode or is it somehow broken?).
I can get into fastboot by doing "adb reboot bootloader".
So now I have bootloader locked and FRP locked again.
Should I use potatonv again to unlock the bootloader and then try flash a custom ROM after doing a reset with the stock recovery?
Ideally I'd like to have a ROM with optional / hidden root so I can use banking apps but also have root access, but if I have to lose banking apps to have root then I'm OK with that.

yes, but you have to rebrand the phone to another region, e.g. eu C432 - replace oeminfo and flash eu firmware (you get dual SIM because oeminfo for single is not available). The process will lock the BL again.

Turn off the phone, hold Volume Down and connect to PC.

Yes, you can,
each bootloader code is permanent, it wont expire.

Try CAOS
Thanks.
So I think this is what I will do.
1. Unlock bootloader using potatonv again (hopefully this time it will reset FRP Lock too as I have no google account on the phone this time).
2. Root phone using magisk so I can change oeminfo.
3. Flash oeminfo following this guide.
4. Download and flash ANE-LX1C432E5R1P7B132 from here using fastboot and do factory reset.
5. Flash CAOS rom over stock 9.1.0.132.

I've never done a rebrand running EMUI 9.1, I'm not sure if it works. Try downgrade to Oreo via HiSuite, then follow this tutorial - variant C/.

You can FRP unlock manually in Developer options - "Enable OEM unlock"

Use only service ROM and dload method.
I decided to go straight for Lineage OS 18 unofficial.
Works great.
If I ever need to go back to stock then I guess I will have to go the rebrand route.
Thanks again for the help.

No problem.
I have a Moto G Play 2021 (XT2093-4) (another one), that I made a mistake to relock the bootloader after I had it unlocked. I don't have access to the OS on the phone anymore. Previously I had the treble floss installed on it. I don't have TWRP installed. The only thing I have access to is fastboot. I realise I might have completely bricked this phone but I thought I ask here to see if there is any way to unlock the OEM again just using the fastboot.
the fastboot screen on the phone has a menu option to go into recovery mode. stock recovery might be able to restore your phone to working condition.
volume-down + power buttons > fastboot mode > volume button to 'recovery' option > power button to execute. if your recovery screen is broken with the 'no command' message, hold down the power button and quickly press and release the volume-up button. that should get you to the working recovery screen where you can try to factory reset your phone.

Thanks, but I think my phone is completely messed up now. If you can believe it, I can't even get to recovery mode. I can get to fastboot and then find the recovery mode and click to go to it but then it just starts the fastboot again. I'm basically stuck in fastboot forever. It's just weird cause there's nothing wrong with the hardware. Thanks again.
if you have nothing working on your phone but fastboot mode, that might still be enough to rescue your phone. boot it to the fastboot screen, connect it to a pc that has the fastboot program installed, open a terminal window on the pc wherever fastboot is, and type 'fastboot devices'. if your phone answers with its serial number, you'rr probably able to flash a whole stock rom to it piece by piece. get a stock rom from somewhere like lenovo, using their lmsa program, or just download the right one from lolinet or somewhere. unzip it. then, for instance, to flash the boot.img to your phone you would type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. that would replace your possibly broken boot partition with a known good one. then 'fastboot reboot' to see if that helped. there are tutorials on the net for flashing the rest of the rom. be sure to read one, because all of the flash commands aren't that straightforward.

Sorry for the really late reply. I tried what you said, but it fails right at the (fastboot flash partition gpt.bin) command and the output I get is:
Sending 'partition' (37 KB) OKAY [ 0.002s]
Writing 'partition' (bootloader) Validating 'gpt.default.xml'
(bootloader) flash permission denied
(bootloader) Cancelling 'gpt.default.xml'
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
It keeps saying flash permission denied. I have another exact same phone with an unlocked bootloader and I did the same on that one and I was able to flash a stock ROM to it. I've tried every RETCA and RETUS on this site: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/guamna/official/ but it fails with the same error. I'm going to try all the rest later but it's a lot to download for now.
Thanks again for the help!
