Stuck on TWRP, cannot load into eRecovery - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello,
Can I please ask I did followed one tutorial how to root the Magisk into mine Huawei P20 Lite, but in recovery mode looks like I've replaced the eRecovery with the TWRP 3.4.0-1-anne.img and now I cannot load into the stock ROM. I cannot even install the custom ROM even if it's installing them via fastboot commands or via TWRP by holding Volume Up + Power button. I've tried to format the data in TWRP, also did Advanced Wipe (dalvik + art, cache, data, system, internal storage) multiple times but it's not going into the system, just keep looping in the TWRP 3.7.0 (Volume Up + Power button) or if I want to go to eRecovery by holding Volume Up + Power button > Menu with three options > holding power up button) it's still going to the TWRP 3.4.0 not into eRecovery mode to recover the Stock image.
I followed this tutorial:
I tried to search everywhere even on Google but I cannot find anything about this how can i get back the eRecovery mode back to the phone.
Is there any way how to fix this?
Thank you!

First of all, it is necessary to clarify the terms - are we talking about Recovery mode or eRecovery mode?

It's eRecovery mode (the stock recovery mode from Huawei) which we are talking about. Recovery mode works fine.
Thanks

Download stock eRecovery :
https://mega.nz/file/58tnXIKB#KiNi1LXdvZ6hFQAKknULA6fTaOW4-3dstDDdngzBdco
- Copy it to the SD Card
- now boot into TWRP, select storage - SD Card, select "Install image", select downloaded eRecovery_ramdisk.img file, mark eRecovery, swipe. Reboot system.
If you want flash full stock FW via dload, on EMUI 9.1 you must have stock Recovery installed .

Thanks Alf, can I please ask do you have any instructions which I can use to get into Recovery mode and copy the eRecovery IMG into SD card? The copying is not working for me from computer to Huawei via TWRP.

Where do you get such instructions from? Via TWRP?
Just connect your phone to PC via USB and copy, that's all.

Hi Alf, when i connect huawei phone to the computer and i have enabled MTP in Mount in TWRP, I can see the storage but it's not copying the eRecovery.img into it. I've tried 2 different cables, 2 different ports and still it's not copying there, just failing.
Do you have any ideas how can i transfer .img file into the phone into SD Storage?
Thanks!
EDIT: I've tried also Internal storage but the same thing happens.

twrp again...twrp has nothing to do with it!
P.S.: are you trolling me?

Okay i figured it out what you mean.
By putting SD card into the SD card reader i've downloaded drivers for it and copied the eRecovery img finally into the SD card via computer.
Afterwards followed your steps and eRecovery is back into Huawei phone, downloading the stock rom back.
P.S.: I am not trolling you but I didn't figured it out that you can move the SD card into the computer via SD Card reader.
Thanks for the tips and link for eRecovery!

[Q] Bootloop, USB Connectivity etc.

So, I have CyanogenMod 7.0.3 Stable flashed in my Legend, and it's been working just fine. Until couple days ago when I made some theme changes through Theme Chooser and flashed some theme add-ons. Now the phone is acting just stupidly. It's in a bootloop (sometimes loops in HTC bootscreen, sometimes in the CyanogenMod bootscreen), usb connectivity doesn't work (fastboot usb works, adb/mass storage etc. doesn't). I have tried to wipe the phone and flash that rom/recovery again through fastboot, but fastboot says "remote: not allowed" or something like that. Bootloader works, fastboot works, even recovery works but it's no use 'cause adb driver doesn't recognize the phone.
Please guys, help me. What should I do to get my phone running again? (working CyanogenMod or even a stock without root, I don't care, I just want this thing up and running again)
EDIT: And the weird thing is, that couple times I was able to boot the phone normally using recovery by just sticking the usb cable into the phone. And also, couple times I was able to boot it normally by just using fastboot reboot (I was able to get to the HTC Setup screen and then it would crash and show just black screen with notification bar)
It's possible the you're USB bricked. A quick search of "USB unbrick" should bring the required thread to light (search in development)

Yeah, I have thought of that! Only problem is that how am I supposed to get the required files (flash_image and .img) to SD card without a way to manage SD card? Can I flash the image using fastboot?
I can't do it inside the phone 'cause I'm in a bootloop and can't boot the phone.
EDIT: Is there a chance to do a wipe and flash a new rom using only fastboot or something?
In theory you can flash without recovery, but only if you're S-OFF. You'll need the ROM in .img format too.
I used a microSD to SDCard reader to transfer the files., they're fairly cheap in high street stores. Or borrow a friends Android phone

Well, am I able to flash those files once they are in the SD card? I mean with S-ON cause I don't have S-OFF?
Or is my phone a complete brick? =( Cause I'm pretty much all out of ideas..
Once you've got the files needed for a USB unbrick on your SD card you'll be fine
if you have recovery access did you try to make apply update from SD card in order to pass in cwm recovery.
if you got a USB brick you can use a multifonction printer to mount your SD on your computer.
So in a nutshell, my problems are:
- My Legend is in a bootloop
- Apparently my phone is USB bricked cause only fastboot works
- I don't have a recovery, when I go manually into recovery (recovery -> POWER + VOL UP) it goes into stock recovery
- And also my phone is S-ON
Could you guys point me into the right direction with this, I really want my phone back working. What should I do?
When you get to the stock recovery, navigate to ans select "flash update.zip from SDcard" That should get you to ClockworkMOD. Once there you'll need to use ADB to push the files required for the USB unbrick procedure to the SDcard (adb push [files-on-pc] /sdcard/) You should no be able to perform the the USB unbrick.
You may need your phone plugged into a PC for it to boot

But I'm getting this blue recovery screen with only four options instead of the original green one including option to flash zip. So wtf has happened?
EDIT: In the blue recovery screen it says Can't open cache/recovery/command. And when I choose "apply sdcard:update.zip" it says "signature verification failed" and it aborts the installation.
Fakeflash.

So I am able to flash roms only using this menu? Am I correct? Just do a wipe and apply update.zip?
Why does it say "verification failed" then?
EDIT: Oh I see, I have to download fake-flash update.zip and apply update.zip takes me to the clockwork recovery? When I put the update.zip to the SD card and apply it, then it should go on with out any "verification failed" errors?

My main priority is just to get the phone to run normally again, I can worry about the USB Unbrick later. So I just want to do a full wipe and flash Cyanogenmod again. Am I able to do all that is required to run the phone again normally with fakeflash?
Thanks in advance TheGrammarFreak, I really appreciate your help!
The phone won't run normally until you do a USB unbrick.
One of the things that happens with this USB brick is that a flag for advanced debugging gets set. It's a very deep setting, and the setting is read ad the HBOOT level. If this flag is set to on (like it is in a USB brick) the phone will not boot unless it's plugged into a computer. Remember that
In order to get your phone back I believe you will need to plug your phone into the PC and turn it on. It should boot, if not you will need to get to recovery and wipe/reflash (you'll need to do this while plugged into a PC too). Once you have a running system/you're in recovery you can use ADB to push the files needed for a USB unbrick to your SD card.
Assuming you got that far, you should be in a prime position to follow the USB unbrick procedure.
I'm going away tomorrow for a week, and I will not be online at all. If you need more help you will need to get someone else in. That said, I believe that with the information in this thread, the USB unbrick thread, the fakeflash thread and Google you have enough information and help top fix your phone

I really need some help!!

I was running CM12 and everything was fine. I received a notification to update to CM 13 and I selected yes. It installed OK, but no GAPPS. I tried everything I could think of to install GAPPS, and kept getting errors. IN my frustrated efforts, something happened to my TWRP and now I only have CM Recovery. I'm trying to reinstall TWRP but my phone is being recognized as a "Marshall London Bootloader Interface" ONLY when in the Fastboot and Recovery mode. I have Huawei Hisuite installed and it recognizes the phone fine when powered on, but as soon as I boot into Fastboot and Rescue mode, it reverts to the MLB interface. I am at my wits end as to how to get my PC to recognize my phone properly when in Fastboot and recovery. I did try removing and reinstalling drivers when in Fastboot, but the Marshall Interface keeps on getting inserted. Any suggestions?????? (I also seem to have erased the SD card that has my original system backup files on it. I tried to flash several downloaded stock ROMs using CM recovery, but they all error out. )
I was finally able to re load TWRP using the Huawei Hi Suite. I flashed Carbon ROM and GAPPS and everything seems to be OK but I still cannot use ADB because the phone is recognized by Windows as a Marshall device ONLY when in bootloader mode and ADB does not find the device. When I connect normally it is recognized as a Mate 2 and it connects normally to Hi Suite. I have no idea what could be wrong, but I have read of other people who have this mysterious "Marshall" device show only up when in bootloader mode. Anyone have any ideas????? Can I go back to stock from here if I don't have a saved recovery image to see if I can fix this???
I have no idea what Marshall device means. Is it possible to place the stock 5.1 ROM on a blank micro SD card and follow the flashing instructions? (boot to download mode or whatever it's called)

I explained what "Marshall Device" is in the first post. I ended up going back to stock (322) and loosing root. I then updated to 5.1 using the SD card. Everything seems to be working OK. Maybe I'll root again and start over when I have more time.

No os found means that you wiped your partitions like data,system. A simple nandroid restore will do

Honor 7 bricked after Root - Rescue mode and Recovery OK but no access to disk

Hi everybody,
Sorry if my post already exists and if my english is bad but i really need help...
I tried to root my honor 7 so first i unlocked bootloader successfuly, i installed TWRP too and everything seemed work very good until last step where my phone didn't boot, i stayed stuck in boot logo... Then I done a factory reset with wipe cache, dalvik, data etc...
Now the only things i'm able to do are boot on recovery mode, eRecovery and on fastboot&rescue mode. I lost adb and fastboot and i'm not able to acess to the phone so i can't put a rom on the phone to install it...
If anyone could help me it would be very nice because I'm going crazy. Thank you !
My phone was up-to-date, i can't remember witch firmware i had but i think it was Android 6.0.1

Read this carefully, this will restore youre phone:
1*.)No matter what youve done with this phone it will be cleanly installed like its fresh new, cause i had couple of problems and this method worked
1.)Download the latest b396 firmware
2.)format youre SD card with basic settings via Windows ( if you have a usb stick to connect youre SD card to computer like i do, if you cant connect youre SD card to computer, use another smartphone and format youre SD card with basic settings)- simply talking just format youre SD card
3.)create --->>>dload<<<--- folder like i wrote down without the --->>><<<--- stuff on youre SD card
4.)paste the update.app file to the dload folder
5.)insert youre SD card to phone
6.)this is the moment of truth hold down volume + & - key and power key all in once until the emui logo appears WARNING: remove all keys after logo appearing WARNING: if the logo doesnt appear even after 30sec. keep still holding until the logo appears
***If you get somekind of error i can help, if it worked youre a lucky guy

TWRP stuck on Huawei Honor 9

Hello,
I recently attempted to root my Huawei Honor 9
I was able to successfully unlock my boot loader and (i think) install TWRP. I used a CMD command to reboot it into recovery mode, although from here-on out things went very bad. Here are some problems that I have been having
1) I CANNOT get out of TWRP. It says that I have no OS installed. Everytime I reboot I am greeted with the TWRP application I attempted to install a custom ROM, although now I am getting many errors [such as failed to mount '/cache' (invalid argument)]. These errors show up for everything I do, such as attempting to wipe my phone and also installing ROMS
2) My phone no longer shows up on my PC, although I have been able to use my micro-SD to transport files to and from my phone to my computer
3) The internal storage shows up as 0MB
pls help
many thanks if you can

Shutdown phone, connect USB cable to phone and press POWER plus Volume down button. This will bring you to Bootloader, use HWOTA script to upload stock firmware.

or

Note:
I recommend you follow the second link, it will be easier for you. Get external SDCARD, copy UPDATE.APP in /dload folder and instead of dialing on phone (which you cannot), use enforced update:
Step 1. Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) to the root directory of the Micro SD card. Check the file list is right.
Step 2. Make sure your handset is power off. Insert the Micro SD card into the handset.Press the VOLUME UPandVOLUME DOWN key, and then press the POWER key to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode.
Step 3. When the progress bar stop, the phone will restart automatically.
