Honor 10 COL-L29 can't boot in recovery - Honor 10 Questions & Answers

I have a problem.
I have managed to put the phone in EDL mode and with the help of IDT v2 temporarily unlock the bootloader. In this mode I had managed to flash twrp and boot to it successfully. Through twrp and adb I have hex edited the nvme file (guide ) to try and unlock the bootloader for good.
Unfortunately, the phone now can't boot into recovery mode. Only fastboot mode (with locked or unlocked bootloader -through IDT-) is accessible now. Flashing from the fastboot mode (with temporarily unlocked bootloader) is being reported as successful but the phone can't reboot into recovery.
Is there a way to successfully boot into twrp in this state?
Any and all suggestions are welcomed!
Thank you in advance!

To be honest, there are some ways, let's do some simple questions first.
Did you try flashing twrp again?
- if yes and it still don't work, try to extract an stable firmware recovery, erecovery with firmware extractor and try to flash it clean, do an recovery boot try and flash twrp again
Is the erecovery still intact?
- if yes try to recover the phone and retry you whole journey, if this don't work but the recovery can start u need to learn some things and Google them. Before i explain anything its better to learn from sources. Google following things: dload, extracting huawei firmware updates, huawei adb commands. If you are willing to do the dload method u need a usbc to a adapter and an usb stick. A few bucks but any cable will work. At team mt u get the update, extract a complete update and place it into dload, boot erecovery and hopefully it will recover anything. After that twrp and so on. Always double check adb protocols and cables. If anything happens while flashing u will brick the recovery. And u need to redo the erecovery thing.
I'm not that active but hopefully it will help

[GUIDE] Restoring Stock ROM, Recovery, Unbrick, and Rooting 5.0 on Padfone S

I had stuck on ASUS logo, after I do a lot of researches, a lot of trials and errors for 4 hours. I managed to fix them and I wanted to share how I did here.
Easiest way to root lollipop WW-12.2.2.27
use KingRoot from http://www.kingroot.net/down ,It is android app which will run exploit to root the device successfully.
Not Kingoroot Kingoroot was unable to root. Towelroot v1 works only on Kitkat, but not lollipop.
To boot into fastboot mode
adb reboot bootloader
OR turn off device, press and hold power and volume up, until asus logo appear, and stuck at asus logo, that is fastboot mode, to exit fastboot with buttons, press and hold vol down and power button.
To restore stock recovery and ROM after you install TWRP or CWM, or unbrick device
First, note that stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59055653&postcount=29, does not work for me (maybe everyone else as well).
I flashed it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, when I try to boot into recovery using, vol down and power, then select enter recovery, it stucks at asus logo.
First you need to flash TWRP_2.8.7.0.img from http://quarx2k.ru/asus_padfone_s/recovery/
using fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.7.0.img It will show that flashing FAILED (remote: can't flash unsigned image), it fact, it was succeeded, now you can go ahead and boot to recovery.
Note that this version of TWRP, and 2.8.6.0, and CWM cannot successfully flash stock zip ROM, it may show errors, or when you try to boot the device, it will stuck at ASUS logo. But now, we are going to need TWRP_2.8.7.0 to unlock bootloader.
Let's unlock bootloader
simply flash http://quarx2k.ru/asus_padfone_s/CrowLock_RC3.zip with TWRP
You can check bootloader status with fastboot oem device-info
Before unlock :
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
After unlock
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
Let's flash stock Kitkat Firmware
You have to unlock bootloader becuase, well it is complicated.
The only TWRP recovery that can successfully flash stock .zip firmware from ASUS is http://datbak.com/links/padfone_s/asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img
But this recovery has another bug, if you flash recovery and try to boot to recovery, you will get blank screen, but TWRP is indeed working, you touch the screen and it vibrates back. Anyway you have tofastboot flash recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img because it will be needed later for upgrading Kitkat to Lollipop.
If you don't unlock bootloader, you will not be able to boot into recovery directly without flashing to recovery partition Now let's get into fastboot mode, and fastboot boot asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img, by booting into this recovery directly via fastboot without flashing it first, you will not get black screen bug of this recovery., if you boot to this recovery from recovery partition, you will get black screen as I told previously.
Now let's flash downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware from http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/PadFone_S/UL-ASUS_T00N-WW-99.99.99.0-user-wipedata.zip with TWRP 2.7.1.1.
This is for only WW SKU, not TW SKU. And all userdata will be wiped.
Browse all firmwares and there is TW SKU downgrade here : https://www.asus.com/Phone/PadFone_S_PF500KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Ok, now reboot to system, and yeah, it finally boots now.
The recovery is still TWRP, not stock one, let's upgrade to lollipop and restore stock recovery using TWRP. Simply place http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/PadFone_S/UL-ASUS_T00N-WW-12.2.2.27-user.zip to root of Internal Memory, unplug usb, press confirmation in notification to begin install lollipop. After device reboot, it will stay blank screen for 5 minutes, don't worry, it is updating to lollipop, after upgrade is done, it will reboot, and recovery will be restored to stock recovery now.
Bootloader is still unlocked.
Another method to root is
fastboot flash recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img (recovery is restored to stock now remember)
then flash https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1 with TWRP.
To lock bootloader again, boot into fastboot
then fastboot oem reset-dev_info
But I wouldn't recommend you to lock bootloader, you will lose ability to boot to TWRP recovery without replacing stock recovery, unless you are going to send your device to service center and claim warranty.

Hi im a noob so ill get straight to the point.
You said "Note that this version of TWRP, and 2.8.6.0, and CWM cannot successfully flash stock zip ROM, it may show errors, or when you try to boot the device, it will stuck at ASUS logo."
I have two question as follow:
1. So can i use twrp to flash stock rom or not?
2. Because I'm still at Kit Kat, I dont need to unlock bootloader and flash Kit Kat firmware right?
3. If so, Can I follow the tutorial until flashing the TWRP? but which TWRP that I need to install?
4. All these tutorial to unbrick needs to be done before you brick your phone right? What should i do if i already brick my phone?
Kindly advise.

The only TWRP recovery that can successfully flash stock .zip firmware from ASUS is asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img
If you are bricked, but you can still access fastboot mode, then you can unbrick and reflash stock firmware to your phone
First of all, Thank you so much for this GUIDE
Here are my doubts, and hoping for confirmation from you. My Padfone S is running well on latest kitkat firmware, rooted with SuperSu and TWRP 2.7.1.1 installed. Now, I wished to upgrade to Lollipop firmware.
Can I use the TWRP 2.7.1.1 to clean install the lollipop firmware instead of the stock recovery because I wished to wipe date, cache as well as SYSTEM before flashing?
My concern is I afraid if wipe the SYSTEM then the TWRP 2.7.1.1 would not be able to flash the Lollipop firmware successfully. Do I need to unlock bootloader in my case?
If I can do so, then can I still use the Flashify to flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 on the lollipop firmware, or I must use "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.7.0.img" method.
Thanks in advance for your kindly reply.:laugh:
Bootlooped
When I am upgrading my SuperSU and it requires a reboot,it automatically boot looped itself.
What should I do?

Please Help! I have soft bricked my OnePlus X!!

Hi. I have had the OnePlus X for a very long time, and I have recently bricked .
Ok, here it goes :fingers-crossed:. I had a OnePlus X running CM13 with TWRP but a locked bootloader. I decided to try cyanogenmod recovery but soon realized it was terrible.
I was unable to flash img. files and the UI was unappealing to me. However at that point I was able to reboot into my ROM (CM13) with no issues. Knowing this, I thought that the only way I could get TWRP back was through a fastboot command (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
For me to execute that command, I needed to unlock my bootloader first, so I took all the necessary steps in the developer options settings menu. I then booted into fastboot mode and executed this command: fastboot oem unlock. This was my big mistake, as I read up after that you should not unlock bootloader on a custom recovery.
After executing this command, it booted me into recovery. I tried many times without success to wipe data and flash a rom zip via external sd card but they never worked. To make things worse, I was unable to boot up the device. Whenever I tried to power on the device, it booted straight into recovery. I am able to boot into fasboot and recovery, but that is pretty much it. Can someone please help me? I am willing to donate.
If you were able to flash the Cyanogen recovery with a locked bootloader you should be able to flash the official OPX recovery as well. You can download that from this link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPX_recovery.img
Then you should be able to unlock the bootloader!
Or if @Tanner1294's doesn't help, flashing stock rom via fastboot will surely help..
PS: Don't ever flash anything on a locked bootloader.

Unable to enter Recovery Mode even though officially unlocked

Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader officially through the unlock tool and wanted to flash a custom recovery and also root my device (Redmi Note 3 - Snapdragon).
I was on Global Dev (6.5.19) before I even started to unlock my bootloader.
After unlock, I was succesffuly able to flash Cofface TWRP recovery through fastboot (well the command prompt didn't throw up any errors and had a success message).
However, when i reboot into recovery (either through button combination or "adb reboot recovery", I just get a screen that shows an image of a phone and USB cable" (similar to the image on the official bootloader unlock tool.
I checked whether the bootloader was unlocked (fastboot oem device-info) and it was indeed unlocked.
I have factory reset and reflashed 6.5.19 (Global dev rom) with MiFlash and this hasn't made any difference.
I also relocked the bootloader with MiFlash Beta and then unlocked successfully with the official unlock tool.
All of these steps still haven't made a difference.
Can someone please advise on the next step to do (as unlocked bootloader is pretty useless if I can't install a custom recovery).
P.S. I also get the same phone and usb cable image when booting into stock recovery
find it weird problem
if you dont,then first just boot the recovery
code:- fastboot boot xxxrecovery.img where xxxrecovery replace your own recovery img name in fastboot folder.
you must success and see twrp recovery
then again transfer img to sdcard and to flash from recovery.
then flash it from recovery and when you reboot ,just swipe to diseable rom to replace it with stock one.
find it really weird ,i did it hundredths of time in my offi unlocked and every time goes fine flashing recovery from fastboot
Hit thanks if i helped
please follow this... it does help for me.

Cannot access recovery after using MSMDownloadTool recovery package

Hi,
I screwed up my phone and hard bricked it, so I used the MSMDownload Tool to make it run normally again, but...
It allowed me to recover my phone, but I cannot access recovery. I also tried to update the phone, but it would hang on the oneplus logo. I also cannot unlock my bootloader, as after it completes (and says it completed successfully on my computer) it again hangs on the oneplus logo.
Could anybody help me out here with how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!
Hello .
My condolences first. I've been there before.
Anyway can you get your device bootloader unlocked in settings then fastboot and do ya fastboot Cody terminal stuff?
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
DON'T FORGET THIS WILL WIPE WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE.
Yay! Once you done that stay in fastboot and push twrp from there. Flash latest naturally.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
That should jump into your TWRP then flash a rom if you want . But that should do it .
Hope I helped give us a thanks if I did

Problem with fastboot

Hi guys. I was trying to install miui on my phone by twrp because there was a version of aex. When i tried to install the file twrp crashed and my phone turn off. now it can only go in fastboot mode, what can i do? I only want to install twrp and then install the miui. If you know another method, please help me.
P.S. I don't have usb debugging enabled.
Check that your Bootloader has not been locked again.
If unlocked officially, just use Mi Unlock to unlock it again.
Try Flash/Boot TWRP again and proceed with your flashing.
If the above doesn't work flash a fastboot version of MIUI with MiFlash (you may need to use EDL mode)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/flashing/miflash
Edit: - Official TWRP and MIUI don't work well together, you also may need to patch the boot image.
