CM12S TWRP Not flashing - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to fastboot flash TWRP and root CM12S. Keeps reverting back to Cyanogen recovery. The option for updating cyanogen recovery is disabled. Any thoughts?

Same with me.
But only go is, go back to 44s and then upgrade to 05q and then manually flash the cm12 OTA. Just remember when you upgrade to 05q, goto Developrs mode and turn off (disable) the cm recovery and then flash cm 12 OTA.
I did everything is fine but my wifi, network is not working Try to flash the modem but some glitch.

Try this...
After flashing new recovery, when you go to reboot, hold down Vol-Down and Power before it boots into the OS and it should load the new recovery.
If you let it boot to the OS, it flashes back the CM recovery.
Let me know if this works.

.TOT recovery -- Model Error

I have stock recovery and can't boot. My model is currently reported as "g2" thanks to the mahdi rom which I screwed up flashing.
Has anyone been able to flash back to a stable firmware by bypassing the model check (using a special .dll, anything?).

i had that problem once and this is what i did...
i booted back into recovery,TWRP or CWM,
i had TWRP , went to advanced wipe and wiped everything,
system,data,cache,dalvik cache
powered down and put it back in download mode and reflashed stock.
it seems that if you dont wipe system it is still picking it up as whatever model rom you flashed.
hope that helps...

So adb is accessible through stock recovery? I hold down+power until the LG logo, then release both, and press both again. This takes me to hard reset menu, not recovery. I press power three times, the andriod guy appears with a progress bar (i think it is attempting to factory reset here) and then it reboots. Everything I seem to find on Google/XDA indicates the only way to access a recovery mode is through a custom recovery.
If it's really this simple I'm going to flip.......ha

there is a recovery menu even through stock that you can reach. not sure how to get there except through your phone being on in the kk ui. i will try looking around. kinda busy at work so if i dont respond quickly im sorry. in the mean time try again through lgflashtool. make sure your sim card is out when doing it

how did you get stock recovery back on your phone?

Bricked my phone need help please!

Today I accidently wiped my internal and external sd card from twrp recovery mode. I was on Lolipop 5.1.
As I wanted to install Cyanogenmod Rom I tried to reflash CWM recovery. Ater doing that I was not able to enter the twrp recovery anymore. I had accecs to the unlocked bootloader and tried to reinstall the boot, recovery and system via fastboot but without any success. The phone did not boot and I couldnt enter recovery mode anymrore.
Now I accidently flashed via fastboot a wrong boot and recovery firmware (4.1) and since that I can not even enter fastboot. The pictre shows where I am stuck. On the bootloader page it says:
Error
Func NO: 10 (FUNC_BOOT_RECOVERY)
Error NO: 2
Can somebody help me to repair my device? Its brandnew.
What can I do without a recovery, without a system and without fastboot.

No because I had twrp recovery installed and tried to flash cwm over it. After that I had no recovery at all. But I made some progress now... I am able to flash the same newest twrp 2.8.7.0 recovery to the phone and I managed also to flash the 5.1 stock recovery. I flashed BOOT.img from 5.1 and SYSTEM.img from 5.1 and I got rid of the error in fastboot menu.
Stock recovery I can flash via installer_r24.4.1-windows from acbka.

And these two recoveries seems to be the only one that work on my phone....? Currently I have stock recovery installed and i put MT7-L09C900B324 on my sd card (dload/UPDATE.app) and did the three buttons rescue. It seemed to work but It stoped at 90% and still no luck. What am I doing wrong this time?
Hi Suite does not recognitze the phone. When I abort the istallation and reboot the phone starts with the Huawei Logo and goes black and starts to the Huawei logo and goes black and so on...
Here is a picture of where i am stuck at 90% right now, so close...:

SOLVED
After a 36 hour marathon my mate 7 is back and working. the trick was to flash the stock recovery for all Lollipop versions wich can be foudn here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...8-7-0-mate7-android-5-1-t3156779/post61958212 via linux. I somehow seem to have had trouble over wndows.
And after that do the three button rescue with the newest B 324 firmware which I have had installed before I destroyed my OS..
and my camera is now running normaly which was the initial reason i tried to install a other firmare.

When you say flash stock recovery for all LP versions, did you flash and then reboot each time? or flash over and when complete, flash over again still on fastboot?
Can you briefly describe in steps? Tnx! and Glad you were able to recover

I flashed via fastboot the stock recovery which you can download via the link above. the provider (user rowihel2012) claims, that this recovery works for all lolipop stock roms.
After that I made a reboot and pressed (power button and volume+) to check if its installed.
Than I downloaded the lollipop version I have had previously installed. In my case this was the B324 European version.
I put it on my sd card (dload/UPDATE.app) and launched the phone with the three button rescue method. The recovery recognized the rom on the sdcard and started to flash the OS.
After less than 5 min, my phone was restored.
I have made the experience, when using certain roms (B324, B308 etc..) with certain stock recoveries, I was not able to flash the OS and the recovery stoped always at 90%.
The recovery linked above seems to work great for the B324 version, I haven't tried any other stock roms with it.
I wonder if this will work for B327? Seems the actual last update for LP was B324, now I can't seem to get out of this firmware to go back to KK. When I flash transition B300, it's successful...but for some odd reason, when I flash 137, 143, 145 or 148...I auto go back to B327. This, after the fact I'm flashing those firmware's recoveries. Any ideas what I might do to get out of 327?
---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------
Also, what's this Vol+ and Power technique?, all I get is the three menu screen (reboot, factory reset and format cache).

You can try this recovery above which should work for all lollipop roms but I have no better idea as I have had basicly the same problem and could only flash the former rom i had installed whch was B324.
The Vol+ and Power i do to get into the recovery menu (the three menu screen) to check if the recovery was flashed successfully. I have had often the problem after flashing a recovery that it did not work. this is to check if the recovery works.
When i tried to flash a cwm recovery, i couldnt enter any recovery mode after that anymore. I panicked at this point but than i realised that not all recoveries did work for me. For example I could never flash a CWM recovery, not sure why. Maybe because I tried to flash a 4.4 recovery and I had a 5.1 BOOT.img installed?

I see, so then it seems like some recoveries did in fact work with fastboot on me, because the Vol+ and Power worked, but it either only put me in V100R001C900B300 OR MT7-L09C900B300. I've read that I can't just flash KK over LP, that I needed to flash the B300 which is why I flashed transition package first. Should I not have done this?
Once in transition mode though (I booted up and checked, then went back into recovery), if I flashed 4.4 (recovery), it oddly put me back to B327...strange even though the recovery flashed was B137 or B145.
Let me see this link above. I'm back again at 5.1.1 LP B327. I'll do instead fastboot and flash above the recovery and so on, and I'll post the results, if any. Oddly enough, if I flashed boot, recovery and system images of 4.4, I get an "Android" boot screen that hangs, no Huawei.
I really like LP because of some of the features not found in KK like the dual windows, camera tweaks, etc. But no root yet available. TWRP doesn't seem to work as well, fails in fastboot.

Okay...so I was able to flash down to B324, but not via the link provided. What I did was, flash B300 cust.img on (fastboot) then flash boot/recovery/cust/system.img (fastboot). Rebooted with VolumeUp + Power to check for recovery (success), performed a wipe and done! Back to B324.
Now I gotta figure how to go back down to B145, which is where I was at with Root and with no problems at all. If I flash B300 again and then B145...I get the "Android" logo (instead of Huawei) and then the HAM7 reboots and recovers itself back to B324.

Stuck on TWRP, cannot boot into OS

When my phone was running, it turned to black screen somehow. I was like "hmm, what is going on?" So i thought its time to install new cm, new rom.
I installed new CM13 by using TWRPv2.8.6.0, and it said "Successful". But when I reboot, it automatically goes to TWRP screen and cannot boot OS.
I did try to install different cm, rom, but its not working at all. Still keep going to TWRP screen.
Please help me out!

Twrp and Xiaomi.Eu Error

So i tried to install the xiaomi.eu rom on my MiMix 2s but something went terribly wrong. First of all i got Twrp to work and installed the rom. After pressing reboot though the phone just rebooted into fastboot. Now i cant get back into Twrp neither can i reboot to the System. Everything just gets me back to fastboot.
When i try to get back into the recovery, after typing "fastboot boot 'recovery' " i get an Error: "FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: 00000050)"
I also tried to get the global rom back with the MiFlash tool but it seems the fastboot rom download page is currently down.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try to flash the recovery instead of just booting it(I don't get why people are always only booting in recovery, so useless) did you format everything before flashing xiaomi.eu rom?

Just type fastboot flash recovery [name_of_recovery.img].img (place the recovery.img in the correct folder on your computer of course). You can boot in recovery by holding powerbutton and louder button when the device is powered of. Did you flash the correct xiaomi.eu rom for our device?

Ok so booting into the recovery from the phone doesn't work Right now because i cannot shut the phone down. Every time i longpress the powerbutton or the powerbutton + volume button i just get a Restart into fastboot.
Aaand i just checked and idiot me downloaded the wrong Xiaomi.eu Rom .
It is just really unfortunate, that the official MiUi download Servers are offline and that i can't even get the official Version now.

Well that means you most likely ****ed up the partitions on your phone... and when flashing the recovery doesn't work you have to wait for miui download servers(at least that's my point if knowledge)

Unable to install miui eu beta zip rom
Hello, i hope you can help me out. I just unlocked Mix2s and it was a hard time to flash twrp on it. Twrp from miui eu forum website is no good i think. Very laggy and orange? So i succeeded flashing twrp v7 from xda. But when i want to install miui eu zip rom 8.7.19 it just won't happen. It seems the phone or twrp does not accept the rom. And it's the polaris rom. I just don't get it.
After unlocking i first flashed the fastboot rom (tgz) miui 10 (phone was on 9.6), but i think that was not necessary. After that i flashed twrp and formatted, because i wanted a clean flash of the eu rom. Was formatting a mistake?
Is my phone missing a partition / file now?
It just won't install the zip rom.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

+1 same procedure and same problem.
No connection to PC possible and no "reset-buttons" work.
---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------
Okay, I managed to get my phone booting up again.
1. Turn off phone by holding just the power-button
2. Boot phone into fastboot-mode by holding vol-up and power-button
3. In Fastboot-mode connect phone to pc
4. get stock OxygenOS-boot.img (Stock boot-recovery images) from here
5. flash the boot.img via fastboot: "fastboot flash boot stockboot.img"
After that my phone booted up again. TWRP is removed through that procedure. I will wait a while before testing it again.
Got the same as you. Booted back into Blu Spark TWRP, wiped Dalvik and cache and then selected the other boot partition. Booted up for me.

Did this wipe anything when you flashed the stockboot.img? Just data or internal too?
