How do you uninstall patched Magisk recovery properly without risking other partitions? - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

As long I can remember installing any recovery on the already installed magisk patched recovery makes doing everything boot to recovery soft-bricking the device, any ideas?

Can't get onto latest TWRP

So I am stuck on TWRP 2.7.1.0 and i am running slimrom 4.4.4 on a c6833 and the reason for this is because it's the only thing that will boot on my phone. There was some intense trial and error a few months ago and a few days with a bricked phone but I finally got it running again, and I am nervous about messing things up again.
I am wanting to move to a more up to date ROM either scrubber port 5.1 or remix 5.1.1, but they both ask for updated TWRP to install. And I can't update TWRP using the TWRP tool from the store. It downloads but when it tries to install it says there is a problem. Previously, trying to update TWRP would result in SONY bootloops. I was about to try the dd method but just wanted to make sure it was safe.
I am a bit of an idiot (I got rid of my encrypted keys on day 2 of owning the phone) so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

The easiest way is to use Rashr. It should set everything up automatically. You may then reboot to recovery from the ROM, or by holding Vol- when the LED turns purple on boot-up.
If that doesn't work, for whatever reason, try dd or Flashtool. Using Flashtool, you can flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img with the phone in Fastboot mode.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
Used Rashr...and now I can't get into recovery. I can still boot into my phone, but booting into recovery just fails with a yellow LED?
So Rashr still says I have 2.7.1.0 installed. :/

Alright, you likely need a newer kernel first. Using Flashtool, you can flash this boot.img (newest AICP kernel) to the boot partition using the Fastboot mode (or use fastboot manually from the Flashtool/x10flasher_lib folder with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"). At this moment, you'll no longer be able to boot into the ROM, so make sure you've done all necessary backups and are ready to install a newer ROM. Then use Flashtool/Fastboot to flash the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img file to your recovery/FOTAKernel partition ("fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-togari.img"). You should be able to enter recovery now.
Awesome thanks! Will I need to do this each time I flash a ROM? Or can I just jump from something like scrubber to something else?
I know this is an old thread but is that the boot image I need to run TWRP 3? If so, can I do this via dd?

That file has expired, any chance you can re-post it?

Can't Run TWRP recovery after OTA update

I unlocked my kiw-l24's bootloader. I installed TWRP recovery.
It was working fine, then I tried to install a ROM that looked good. It said the version was off (or some checksum thing)... I did an OTA update. It blew away my recovery back to stock.
I tried re-flashing recovery the same way (through bootloader). It flashes successfully, but alas I get the default recovery showing up.
Any attempts to do Power + vol up/down have never worked, I've had to do everything to adb and fastboot (installed on Linux).

Try fastboot boot TWRP.img
And then flash it within TWRP with the install/image feature

Still goes to stock recovery, BUT. I'm okay with still being able to get into TWRP at all.
I can try rooting it now, and installing in Android. or maybe just put a custom rom right on there.

Is the name of the twrp recovery file twrp or something else. If something else, try that file name with
Fastboot boot xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.img

Recovery issue

I have done fasboot format of my phone and erased recovery. So i flashed boot.img of stock rom After flashing boot image i tried to reboot to recovery mode but it is stuck at boot logo. What should i do to boot into stock recovery? Thanks
As far as I know, the rmn3 doesn't have a stock recovery installed.
You can, however, use MiFlash to flash a MIUI ROM. Run through setup, and you should be able to flash a custom recovery from there.
But why?

Flash miui rom using miflash tool,, root access will be lost and whatever the problem is,, should be resolved! Then try flashing recovery using fastboot and make sure the driver's see properly installed on your pc! :cyclops:

First try to boot into twrp(use adb comands you can find them in the wtf tread)
If you don't have twrp you will need to reinstall it
If you flashed the sprint rom and you didn't flash magisk you will loose root and twrp so you have to reflash twrp

Question Havoc os No recovery

I just installed havoc os using pe recovery and after setting up the phone I am unable to boot into recovery I also tried to install recovery again but then I cannot bot into os
Note: I tred TWRP but if I install Havoc os through it i cannot boot it just keeps loading
If I try to boot into recovery it just shows redmi icon
You are probably installing recovery incorrectly.
Did you use "fastboot boot recovery.img" for the first boot recovery?
Then upload the recovery to the ramdisk.
If even that would break the boot, you would still have to flash boot from Havoc.

When You flashed the rom and reboot you will stuck on havoc os logo.
so to fix this go back to TWRP and format data then reboot havoc will boot up.
summary:
Flash havoc > format data > reboot.
You're wrong.
On our phone, recovery is part of boot.img.
If you require a different recovery than the one stored in boot.img, you must boot your own recovery to ramdisk and then it will work in parallel with the other boot.
Otherwise it will overwrite boot.img and the system will not start.
