Sup guyz, so im trying to install the cwm kernel KitKat 4.4.2 (.40). I put the boot.img file inside |android-sdk-windows\platform-tools| and opened the cmd inside that folder, typed the command and i get an error
"cannot load boot.img", now in the guide it says to turn off phone and connect usb + holding VOL-, but there is no blue led, it works only when i push VOL+ instead. Im lost once again uhh
If you're bootloader is unlocked, for flashing kernels it's volume up (+) button and connect to usb.

vol up = fastboot mode
Vol down : flash mode
Edit,
Solved, i didn't realize i have to use the exact img name fastboot flash boot boot_kk.40.img
CWM works now, tnx for checking out the thread fellas
Yep, Android is case sensitive

a buddy of mine bought a nexus s off of craigslist that is constantly force closing when you boot it. it will force close everything then reboot itself. im attempting to unlock the bootloader but adb devices doesnt show the serial number like it does for my nexus s. when i hold down volume up+down and plug in the usb it goes to the unlock bootloader screen but it doesnt give you the option of yes or no. iv posted a picture to show what it looks like. i cant get the phone into download to try to fix it with odin either. any help would be appreciated.
edit: i finally got my pc to recognize it and we now have an unlocked bootloader, but now iv encountered another problem. i downloaded a recovery image and moved it to the tools folder of sdk when i type in the fastboot flash recovery command it responds with error: cannot load recovery.img.
To unlock bootloader, you have to use fastboot, not adb. So the correct command would be fastboot devices
To boot into the bootloader, you have to press volume up + power, not volume up+down and plug in the usb -- that would bring you into the Download Mode instead

i know, i used adb devices to see if my computer would even recognize the phone. i i can get into fastboot mode by pressing volume up and power but cant send a fastboot command to the phone because it doesnt recognize the phone. when i hold down volume up and down to get into download mode it sends me to the screen i showed in the pic. its the unlock bootloader screen except there is no option to click yes to unlock the bootloader. i would love to get into download mode and use odin hence why i pressed vol up and down and plugged in usb, but like i said it sends me to the unlock bootloader screen.

Before you try to unlock the bootloader I would flash the latest stock rom and see if it boots properly.

Try one of these recovery images:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686
The full command is
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(make sure your recovery image file is actually named recovery.img)
If 'fastboot devices' returns your phone's id you can flash a custom recovery. Otherwise get a full _signed_ stock rom and flash from stock recovery.
Did you install all drivers? Deinstall existing and use either pdanet or sdk build in program to get them. You need like 3 different ones.
Try locking unlocking bootloader again.
There's always the chance you got a defective usb connector.

Hi I have the following problem: after I flash Cannibal open touch recovery I could not flash any .zip file so I decided that I go back to CWM touch so I restarted my phone. Phone booted into fastboot mode with the following message no boot or recovery IMG so I decided to flash recovery with fastboot. I opened the folder with fastboot command flash_recovery connect the phone to usb but the command line always showed waiting for device. I unplugged the phone and tried to press the volume keys but nothing happened as if it freezes. I pulled the battery and try it again but no response. I cant connect phone to odin because it has broken power button and after I insert the battery it always turn on itself. Please advise me what to do thank you.
Seems your drivers have gone corrupt. Try a different system and use Nexus Root Toolkit.
I tried this option but without success. Phone does not respond to anything. No volume up or volume down. It´s just stucked on bootloader.
This link says that if you get <waiting for device> , then fastboot is not configured properly. Check out the link over here.
You may also try this command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-crespo.img" to boot into recovery without installing it.
no hope
The reason you cannot navigate in fastboot/bootloader is that your powerswitch is probably stuck in the "on position"...does your device immediately power on when battery is inserted?
The way i solved this a few months ago was to completly remove my powerswitch from the board power my device on..use quickboot to enter fastboot menu and input commands...
Also completely removing your power button makes powering on your nexus alot more complicated.
what i did was go to download mode (holding vol+ and -) and pluging phone in..this takes you to download mode
then you need to get a copy of a boatloader file to flash via odin which will reset your phone and power it on...pm me if interested i can provide you with files necessary
Hi Guys, newbie here.
After installing a custom rom on my desire s a while back I have been edging towards doing the same on my Huawei ascend mate.
I have read the excelent posts in the developer forum but was not allowed to post there.
I have tried to flash twrp from joe.stones thread but maybe using a recovery installer from within android was not too smart.
My mate is now in a boot loop.
I have tried to get access using fastboot on linux but whatever I try, it keeps "waiting for device".
I've tried using power+volume up, power+volume up and volume down, tried the same buttons with usb attached and with an UPDATE.APP(both 221 and the 907 version) in dload on the sdcard
I have googled so much my head starts to spin...
Is there anything I can try?
partial succes, there is some communication!
I missed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682979
When passing a command like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" as root in terminal I get <waiting for device>
- Then connect via usb
- I/you then have to hold volume DOWN+ power to get a responce and I did!
Still not booting up but very nice to have the phone talking again!
Now trying some other fastboot stuff, but very gently....!
Done!

In above thread is mentioned that you can extract files, boot.img and recovery.img, from the original UPDATE.APP that was used on your phone, in my case 907.
After flashing as mentioned the phone booted up again without any change!
Note
I used xubuntu linux 14.04, adb and fastboot utilities can be installed from the software center. Phone drivers are either not needed or were included in the install.
I used the extractor tool mentioned in the thread above in a virtual machine to extract the files from the UPDATE.APP

I have the same issue .. did you fix it or no ?
Sent from my ONE A2003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Did you tried pressing just volume down button, and connect it to PC at the same time, after switching off? After switching off you merely have 3 to 4 seconds to connect to PC while holding vol down button.
Let me give you a step by step guide to flash the Stock ROM, please follow it.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
Please report back if this works for you or not.

I had the same problem with my honor 7 which I eventually solved so lemme ask you a few questions...
Are you in bootloader mode constantly? (Is it with error or without error?)
Hard reset (power+vol down) boots into bootloader or bootloader with error message?
Have you tried a hard reset (hold down power UNTIL reboot) and quickly connecting your phone to a PC with vol down button held? (Of course let go of power as soon as a reboot)
Adb and fastboot are different things with different drivers so in fastboot mode you have to check
Fastboot devices
And
Adb devices only works if you are booted in android (and I guess twrp recovery).
Please lemme know all these things.
If you just want to install recovery, download latest firmware for your phone and use huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery from UPDATE.APP (which you get after extracting firmware using WinZip or some such software).
Boot into bootloader using power+vol down, connect to a PC and use adb to push
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After copying recovery.img to platform-tools folder.

Try this
- If you dont have, put a memory card in shmartphone
- I drew a full back to my rom, in this case a custom 6.9.1
- I put this full rom (zip file) on the memory card
- Through the TWRP did factory reset through the bootloader option
- Again by TWRP I chose installed the full rom had put the memory card
- He installed, I restart and voilá
Note that after doing this, it took a long time to set everything up. In the second logo of honor it took about 15 or 20 minutes.
guys , i can't get to use any of the key combinations , it just reboots non of the recovery ,fastboot or adb are working if i can flash any recovery i can mange the rest out , any ideas?

If it keeps booting into error message bootloader or reboots without screen, you have to take it to Huawei customer service.
Had a similar problem with my phone and nothing could be done for 2,3 months until my son used it as a brick (before I could take it to customer service).
Tried every possible method here on XDA.

Hi,
I was trying to flash TWRP, but now I am stuck with flashing TWRP logo after rebooting or powering the phone on.
I am unable to get to the fastboot.
STEPS I did before brick:
1. unlocked OEM via official way
2. flashed TWRP
3. after that my phone was reset however most of the apps was missing, I was trying to do factory reset once again but it failed with the message "Data partition was heavily damaged"
4. I re-locked EOM
5. brick as mentioned above
Please help, I have the phone only two weeks and I have no idea how to fix this without fastboot.
Thank you.

Sounds like you flashed the 3030 version of TWRP. Download the 3020 version and put it in your fastboot folder. Plug in the USB to PC
Hold power and volume up untill the phone reboots. While it's still off immediately change to power and volume down and hold till it goes into fastboot (bootloader)
Now fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
With the 3020 version.
Unplug the USB and hold power and volume up until it says the phone is booting.. let go and TWRP will load.
Go to Wipe / format data / type yes
Reboot to system and your all set

So I've tried that but the phone is still booting to recovery (flashing TWRP logo) no matter what.
Basically the phone is always on now because if hold the power button (or any other combination) for a few second it will just reboot back.
I have an access only to ADB, but I am not able to boot to bootloader at all, it seems the bootloader is damaged somehow.
Also that warning about unlocked OEM doesn't have that text saying "hold volume up to boot to recovery" etc. like before brick.
Hi there,
Try using the Huawei Multi Tool with the Unbrick option : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
Speaking from experience, this little fellow helped me recover my phone when I bricked it ON DAY ONE after failed root attempt... (Derp)
Let me know if it helped you
(Leave a thanks if it did )
EDIT : This tool is also useful if you want to get lazy whilst rooting. I use it constantly when flashing diffrent bits and pieces
Clearly follow My steps To unbrick and get normal device ::
Step 1 ::
Download the full firmware of your device.
Step 2 :
make sure that your bootloader is in unlocking state
Follow the video blindly ::: https://youtu.be/OMKDnBqbi3U?list=PL...eT9J26lkefvVkK
don't panic of mobile.
Step 3 :: done ..enjoy u did it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you bricked on nougat then follow the below steps
step one :::
download the downgrade package to mm .
then extract the zip and open the update.app using HuaweiUpdateextrator in that select recovery and extract
1.now, boot your device into fastboot and flash the recovery (Optional)(try this if it said incompatible version on recovery)
2. on your sd card and make a folder "dload" . and copy the update.app which we have extracted earlier
3.the switch off the device and press all three buttons you will be reboot into recovery and done . you device will be okey

Booting to the bootloader is just a timing issue
Phone must be hooked to PC with USB
And volume up and power till it goes black
Then immediately volume down and power and Hold untill the bootloader loads
Keep trying until you get it

I appreciate your help but I've tried it multiple times always with the same result.
I also can use "adb reboot bootloader", but it will reboot again to stuck recovery.

I've tried that, but I am still stuck as that tool is using fastboot as every other tool to flash .img files.
Thank you for the tip though.
Plug phone into computer with USB, then hold down power + volume down until it eventually boots into bootloader. I had the same scenario as you and that's how I got into the bootloader. You can flash either a good TWRP or the stock recovery, either one will work.
