I have an Honor 6 L02. After i used the honor 6 multitool to flash my CWM recovery back in to stock, i did not get the recovery screen when i pressed down the buttons, nor when i downloaded an app that would do that for me, also my OTA updates fails, i thought rooting was the problem so i unrooted, now Freedom stopped working so i cant use google play and youtube. PLEASE HELP!
also my phone was rooted so i unroot it
Please help
come on guys please
for the rooted phones you can try "Quick boot" from Google play store. It has option to "Boot into recovery"...
can you also try to send CWM again via Multitool and to see if you can get into CWM?

Does it reboot when you try to enter recovery or it restarts itself at boot process i.e honor boot animation shows up and then it restarts (bootloop).
I really don't know why you are still unable to boot to recovery. Were you able to boot to stock recovery before flashing custom? Also, is your bootloader unlocked?
Your best bet at this stage would be to flash stock recovery and then completely flash stock ROM. This would wipe your data but will resurrect your device from bootloop.

So I bought a Chinese OnePlus One, and it came pre-installed with CM 11 version 11.0-XNPH33r.
Connected to wifi, and got the system update for 11.0-XNPH38r Incremental, so I click download and install.
It reboots phone, then it loads ColorOS recovery looking screen with Chinese written on it and a green loading bar, then The CM splash icons comes back and loads. (alien looking guy with an arrow circling around his head)
After all that, I go to check the version and I'm still stuck at 11.0-XNPH33r!
I tried manually doing it from ColorOS recovery with 11.0-XNPH38r Incremental zip file, it installs about 3/4 of the way and then fails.
My Kernel Version is : 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g0ad30e5
My ColorOS Recovery Version is : 1.2 (Rooted)
I've been looking around the forums, and I see people manually updating using TWRP which I don't have.
Can someone please help me, and if you have a solution can you please give me a step by step direction since I'm new to flashing/rooting and this phone.
I have a guide thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
It contains instructions on how to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP recovery (sections 1 and 2). Before doing anything though you should check the status of your bootloader because it might already be unlocked. You'll need to follow the instructions at the top of the guide to install your phone drivers and also adb/fastboot via the Android SDK. Once you have done that you can boot your phone into fastboot mode (hold power + volume up), connect your phone to your PC via usb cable, open a command prompt from your fastboot folder (shift + right click anywhere within the foler, then select open command prompt here), and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Please post the results here.
Thanks man, I'll try that out.

TY for you help. I manage to get a custom recovery (TWRP), but I still can't update past 33R, when I update I get "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/cache/cm-bacon-3628510d76-to-ac1ccf7921-signed.zip

Go to section 8 of my guide and flash the stock images. Make sure you remove the -w of the last command though or it'll wipe all your user data.

Thanks man. I actually tried the flashing of 44s on the guide you sent me and it worked. Sorry for my last reply. You've been a great help and my phone is up to date.
Two last question if you don't mind. When the new update comes, can I install through Settings> About Phones> System Updates
or do I have to do something similar to the flashing I just did
after flashing my custom recovery is gone (TWRP) and the Cyanogen Mod Recovery took its place. Should I leave it like that or get TWRP and if TWRP is the answer, do I use the same method I did installing the custom recovery?
You should now have no problems receiving automatic updates through the settings menu. You can leave the stock recovery if you want to, or you can flash TWRP again. If you don't intend on flashing any custom ROMs or mods then the stock recovery should suit you just fine. Flashing a recovery is done via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.4.1.img
(where the recovery filename is twrp-2.8.4.1.img)

I appreciate it a lot. Thanks again!
I run for a problem to install custom recovery.
Running CO12s with bootloader unlocked. have installed on my windows 7 all necessary sdk tools and packages, on windows command i checked adb version and fastboot all is good.
Now after put device to fastboot mode trying flash TWRP, window command saying that write process ok but still no recovery installed, in developer options I did uncheck recovery update. now if I go to recovery (CO12 recovery) in recovery log I can see that recovery update mode is still "true" how i can turn this off, looks like is blocking access to install custom recovery or is any other solution??
Go to the FAQ:

Just had similiar issue, my solution provided by timmaaa:
Flash TWRP again & don't do a normal reboot. After flashing is complete disconnect usb while in fastboot mode, use power + volume down to boot directly into recovery.
Also during command process make sure to use code: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then skip the fastboot reboot & follow timmaaa's instructions above. Worked for me.
Force reboot to recovery fixed problem
Hi all,
Well I love my phone, just love it! BUT having bought it from China, like many I am stuck with the Chinese Model and firmware. Huawei Australia have assisted in unlocking the bootloader, now I am ready to root the phone. BUT, I have not had any luck sourcing a root method for it. Can someone please PLEASE help.
I am desperate as it keeps booting me out of Google Play Services, rendering my Huawei watch useless (ironic huh)
Any help would be appreciated. Email me if you like [email protected]

That sounds to easy, only question, how do I do that? Is there an instruction manual or guidance anywhere?
I have flashed other phones in the past but this one is stumping me.
I have looked for some of these methods only to be completing surveys that inundate me with spam and phone calls, only to be left without the downloads that I needed. Did I mention how much I love my phone?
Thanks again
Michael
Managed to root my phone.. even when I have updated the EMUI to B018, but there was an issue.. I tell you below
Step I follow from Chinese Forum below...
Preparation step :
1. download the tools from
https://www.mediafire.com/?9drsdo2f6hn4j34
2. Extract the content to your local. Note there are two folders :
- Folder 1 is for the tool that contains the TWRP recovery.img and the adb/fastboot tool,
- Folder 2 is for the original recovery
3. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone (either in internal or external memory of your phone)
Installation step :
Step 0, unlock your bootloader (search around on how to do it)
1. Since I am using mac, somehow I don't need to install any driver, but if you using windows, install all the driver yourself
2. Enable the developer mode in your phone, and after that enable the usb debugging
3. Turn off your phone, and boot to fastboot (in off mode, connect the phone with your PC then press Volume Up and Power Button together)
4. Since now your phone has been connected to the PC, go to that Tool folder in respective of your OS, then overwrite the recovery with TWRP with fastboot command (install custom recovery) *note : for mac just add "./" in every command
- check the whether its connected : fastboot devices
- install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Restart your phone and boot to recovery
- restart : fastboot reboot
- after reboot, turn off your phone
- reboot to recovery : turn on your phone by holding Volume Down with Power button
- Now you are at TWRP
6. Install SuperSU (root)
- Install SuperSU zip that has already been copied to your phone using TWRP (use the Install mode)
7. Reboot the phone
- Use reboot function in twrp
8. Profit
Theoritically the above things works but I have some issues following the above :
- After step 4, after recovery being flashed with TWRP seems like my phone Boot Partition is being overwritten too
- So when I rebooted the phone, it boot to TWRP instead
- So I tried to re-flashed the recovery with the original EMUI rom recovery (go to the folder "2.P8Max_Official_Recovery(For_restoration)" to find the original recovery.img). Also note that in the this folder, the adb and fastboot is only for mac. The one for windows use it in the tools
- This is done by going to fastboot again, then do command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- This time using the original recovery
- Now when I rebooted the phone, it goes to EMUI recovery, then I just clicked restart to system or something
- After this, everything fixed, and I have SuperSU install and phone rooted
You can follow the above, but do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone brick hehehe..

The recovery img file link did you downloaded it?
You must download it and but the recovery.img file in fastboot folder
Then rename it to recovery.img.
And open cmd orders from fastboot folder .
Just type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You must download the recovery file into the same folder that you ran your command and in your case "p8 max root". Make sure that the recovery filename is recovery.img instead of some other names.

Hi,
My Honor 6 (Indian Version) was stuck in boot loop post OTA upgrade from B822 to B831. In order to fix this issue, I went through many forums available online and then decided to use the Multi Tool to downgrade to Android L & EMUI 3.1.
To get this done I have followed the below steps:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY and SYSTEM files from the update package downloaded from Honor.in site. //(Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_C675B570_India_Flipkart)//
3. Used Multi Tool to unbrick.
Post this the phone is not able to get into recovery mode; it's stuck at the logo screen. It doesnot recognise the 3 button command to boot into recovery mode.
I have tried using the 'boot to recovery' command in Multi Tool but it throws error "daemon not running starting on port 5037".
I have also tried adb command but for some reason my computer does not recognise my mobile.
i.e. adb devices --> doesnot show my device. (yes, I have updated the abb drivers). So I am not able to use any adb commands.
Then i tried installing/flashing CWM & TWRP recovery. None helped. :crying:
Now I am here, out of options and do not know how to proceed.
Could someone in this forum help me fix the current issue? Please.
In addition, I would like to know a few things:
a. How to install a new OS/ROM on a dead phone? (Healthy hardware with corrupt software)
b. How to format any phone and start a fresh installation?
c. How to read internal memory of a phone which has no ROM or corrupt software?
I am new to all this. Please bear with me.
Thanks,
Sampath

First of all hold and press power + vol down to boot into bootloader mode and type
Fastboot devices
After connecting your phone to PC and opening a command window in platform-tools. Your device should be listed.
adb devices works only when your phone is already booted into Android or running twrp.
Copy and paste the four image files to platform-tools folder and fire these commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
And then use the 3 button command.
(Platform-tools folder can be downloaded after installing latest Android SDK software)

I am in a bit different situation, let me explain.
Till day before yesterday I was on B570 Rom, then I upgraded over OTA to B831, then Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, Installed Latest TWRP Recovery & Installed Latest Xposed Framework, everything went successfull & My phone is running fine.
But the question that arises to me is that none of the Stock Marshmallow update for Honor 6 - H60-L04 has been stable as compared to Lollipop Version & I found B570 super stable & the possibility of myself reverting back to B570 is more. What would be the procedure to revert back to B570.. I think first of all I would have to revert back to stock recovery & then flash the rom package, but how to do this successfully.
Kindly advice.

Thank you for your response. :good:
I have flashed all the files using the fastboot mode, but my phone does not recognise the 3 button command.
It either displays the Honor logo or restarts with a quick vibration. the only command it recognised is 'Vol Down + USB plugged into a computer' (for fastboot).
When flashed with Honor Custom or CWM recovery the phone does not recognise:
1. Vol up + Vol down + Power - for recovery mode
2. Vol down + Power - for hard reset/clear cache partition
When flashed with TWRP recovery the phone only recognises: Power + Vol Up button which boots into recovery mode; however this works only when connected to a power source, the moment I disconnect the power cable the phone switches off.
I tried to install Honor 6 custom ROM EMUI4.0 using TWRP. Need guidance on the below two scenarios.
1. TWRP only recognises .zip files. HONOR custom ROMs are in .app format. What should I do?
2. As a work around, I have downloaded 'Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C432B820_Channel-Others.zip' from xda forum and tried installing it, but TWRP throws a 'no md5 file found' error.
To address this I tried using WinMD5.exe to get the MD5 code and manually created a .MD5 file, but TWRP did not recognise it. Please guide.

You need to flash stock recovery first, by executing this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
@sampathnayak09
Make sure your power button is working correctly. If the files can be flashed successfully, you should be able to boot into recovery.
Honor firmware can only be flashed using three button method. You can search online for making .zip from .app but I am not sure that will solve your problem.

I am in a bit different situation, let me explain.
Till day before yesterday I was on B570 Rom, then I upgraded over OTA to B831, then Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, Installed Latest TWRP Recovery & Installed Latest Xposed Framework, everything went successfull & My phone is running fine.
But the question that arises to me is that none of the Stock Marshmallow update for Honor 6 - H60-L04 has been stable as compared to Lollipop Version & I found B570 super stable & the possibility of myself reverting back to B570 is more. What would be the procedure to revert back to B570.. I think first of all I would have to revert back to stock recovery & then flash the rom package, but how to do this successfully.
Kindly advice.

There are rollback packages for going back. I have read those threads on XDA but could not find them again. Will look for them and will send you a link as soon as I found one.

Make sure your power button is working correctly. If the files can be flashed successfully, you should be able to boot into recovery.
Honor firmware can only be flashed using three button method. You can search online for making .zip from .app but I am not sure that will solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply.
If I extract the recovery.img from the B831 Rom Package & flash the same using the below command will it give me back my stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And if once I am on Stock Recovery I hope I can again Install a full fresh copy of the B831 Package which will be with Stock Recovery i.e NO TWRP Recovery & root free. And after that when I get the rollback package I can revert back to B570. Pls advice am I going right or is there any possibility that I will brick my phone.

Thank you for your response. :good:
I have flashed all the files using the fastboot mode, but my phone does not recognise the 3 button command.
It either displays the Honor logo or restarts with a quick vibration. the only command it recognised is 'Vol Down + USB plugged into a computer' (for fastboot).
When flashed with Honor Custom or CWM recovery the phone does not recognise:
1. Vol up + Vol down + Power - for recovery mode
2. Vol down + Power - for hard reset/clear cache partition
When flashed with TWRP recovery the phone only recognises: Power + Vol Up button which boots into recovery mode; however this works only when connected to a power source, the moment I disconnect the power cable the phone switches off.
I tried to install Honor 6 custom ROM EMUI4.0 using TWRP. Need guidance on the below two scenarios.
1. TWRP only recognises .zip files. HONOR custom ROMs are in .app format. What should I do?
2. As a work around, I have downloaded 'Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C432B820_Channel-Others.zip' from xda forum and tried installing it, but TWRP throws a 'no md5 file found' error.
To address this I tried using WinMD5.exe to get the MD5 code and manually created a .MD5 file, but TWRP did not recognise it. Please guide.
Thanks,
Sampath

If the phone keeps going off you tried charging for a while? Battery might not be charging due to no OS.

Try out this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...wngrade-eu-h60-l04-indian-b810-t3367031/page1
My honor 6 bricked about a month ago so can not verify this method but to get out of bootloop, always keep a nandroid backup of your device somewhere safe.
You can make a nandroid backup using twrp. Save it to SD card and then copy it to your PC to keep it safe.

Thanks for your response.
I was able to do as per the steps I mentioned in my earlier post & now I have successfully Downgraded to B570, With Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, TWRP & Xposed Installed. So its time for me to change my signature.
P.s : Also Updated TWRP to the Latest Version i.e TWRP 3.0.2-0

You need to flash stock recovery first, by executing this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hi,
I did flash the stock recovery, but my phone keeps rebooting and doesn't get into recovery mode.
I am sure it has sufficient battery charge. (Close to 90%).
Is there a way to do a clean install on Android phones? Like the way we install Windows OS on computers. Format hard disks, create partitions and then install a fresh OS?
Thanks

Find attached below the required links for Rollback package & TWRP.
1) https://club.hihonor.com/in/honor6.217/downgrade-link-from-marshmallow-b831-to-lollipop-b570.7935
2) https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor6.html
Regarding TWRP, it lets you install custom roms & other apps which cannot be installed thru stock recovery e.g Xposed Framework. Further TWRP is useful for restoring the phone as it allows to restore the phone by using Nandroid backups taken earlier, provided the Nandroid backups are stored in SD Card. There may be more advantages which I am still trying to find out.

Thank you for providing the links. Let me try installing these.
muradulislam said:
First of all hold and press power + vol down to boot into bootloader mode and type
Fastboot devices
After connecting your phone to PC and opening a command window in platform-tools. Your device should be listed.
adb devices works only when your phone is already booted into Android or running twrp.
Copy and paste the four image files to platform-tools folder and fire these commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
And then use the 3 button command.
(Platform-tools folder can be downloaded after installing latest Android SDK software)

Thank you for your input guys. I am now able to enter stock recovery mode (3 button mode); however, the installation stops at 5%.
Any suggestions?

Give it a couple of tries. Users have suggested that it usually gets stuck somewhere but trying for 2,3 times gets the job done.

Let me know which Rom version is your phone running now & which version you are trying to migrate to.
Also if 3 button Force update is not working then you can try the project menu option.
But first let me know what state your phone is currently in.
Hi guys, I need some help. I flashed 1.6 in edl EU firmware with MiFlash. Now when I load the phone it comes up saying that the bootloader is unlocked and press power to continue. This stops me from holding down power and volume to get into fastboot. I have also tried going into recovery and reboot into bootloader but still no fastboot. Just bootloader is unlocked and press power to continue as I have mentioned before.
Please help! ? As need fast boot to install recovery!

Plug in your phone to your cable to your PC. Reboot the phone and soon as it turns off, hit the sound up & sound down button along with the power button. Hold these down until your PC sounds and verifies you are in EDL mode. Once in EDL, start the app on PC using admin privileges. Once the program has started, run unlock bootloader (option 4) again. Once it's complete, reboot the phone to the OS. Reboot holding power & volume up. This will take you to recovery. Now go to reboot to bootloader. When in fastboot follow the directions to install TWRP. Do not skip any steps! Apparently, steps are being skipped.

I said you need to follow directions. In the directions to run <fastboot boot TWRP.img>, not flash. Then flash the installer if you wish to make it permanent, but I wouldn't recommend making it permanent to allow OTAs to work properly.
Sorry I'm not sure where I've gone wrong here I followed your instructions but when I run the axon edl tool it managed to unlock the bootloader and give me back fast boot with out any stop's on boot up but when I run the axon edl tool I got the error at the end which I posted in the picture so then after that didn't work I put it into fastboot and tried to flash the recovery myself and That didn't work either that's why I posted a photo of that as well

Go into fastboot, connect to your PC and run <fastboot boot TWRP.img> then flash Magisk. Do not flash the recovery. Boot TWRP using the above command. Flashing the recovery will not work. If you read the directions, it tells you that. I have told you everything step by step. If you can access fastboot, you are done with the EDL tool, just go into fastboot and boot TWRP using the ADB command <fastboot boot TWRP. img>

If you read the directions, it tells you that. BTW, I don't think you read the directions. Go back and look at my previous post. You only use the EDL tool to unlock the bootloader. After you have unlocked reboot to the stock recovery and select reboot to fastboot. Then boot TWRP.
