Bootloop using Multi-Tool

Just got my Nexus 5 and I decided to root it. I used the Nexus 5 Multi-Tool to first install the drivers and then continued to unlock the bootloader and root it.
The bootloader unlocked just fine and I got the choice to install CWM or TWRP. I chose CWM first. CWM then gave me a messae that it couldn't mount my sdcard, but it did ask me to fix root permissions. I selected yes and rebooted. My phone then went into bootloop. I tried to restore to avail. Installing TWRP gave me the same message as in CWM (can't flash any ROMs in both recoveries either).
What's weird is, that when I connect my phone to my PC Windows detects it as a MTP USB Device. It isn't supposed to do that if I enabled USB Debugging, right? (I did enable USB Debugging before anything).
How do I proceed? Help is appreciated.

Don`t you guys ever NOT get in trouble when using toolkits. Toolkits are only suitable for users that know what they are doing and can fix the issue they have and not for lesser experienced users that will be stuck when something goes wrong. Learn how to install and use adb and how to flash .img files. Post your question in the toolkit thread bro, maybe someone can help you there. Good luck
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508292 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701 and you`ll never be in trouble again.

Thanks for your reply.
I have done this many times before on my Galaxy Nexus. That's why I used that tool this time aswell.
However, I got it back to stock with the tool, which reverted to stock android and recovery. I then installed TWRP recovery manually and through there I rooted.
I have no idea what went wrong the first time, but in the future I'll just manually install recovery/root devices since it seems to be much safer.

The same thing happened to me today. I managed to get out of it by flashing TWRP (using the tool) and then in TWRP doing a complete wipe and rebooting. Not sure why the CWM wipe did not do the trick, but that worked for me.

Installed Nougat but cannot get TWRP to work. Need help rolling back to marshmallow!

Ive tried to install TWRP via adb about 3 times now and it just will not work. The install goes perfectly but when i try to enter recovery mode from the phone being turned off, it just infinitely says my phone is booting. Does not go into twrp at all. My Nougat installation is extremely buggy. I have no model number, i went through complete hell to even enter my google account info. Everything seems to work fine on nougat though but i just cannot stand the bugged installation. Could really use some help.....
EDIT: Flashed TWRP through adb sideload and the phone just sits there still even when i enabled usb debugging and all. Bluetooth doesnt work and NFC doesnt work. But everything else works perfectly fine. It would just be nice to get the full functionality of my phone back. Phone isnt rooted. Just need some quick assistance.... Thanks for whomever answers.

have you tried to flash through fastboot the twrp in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617 (do not worry if is for mate 9. it works anyway)
also please check if your bootloader is unlocked before doing it.
download srk huawei tool, is pretty easy to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-t3369797

First you need to roll back to ur previous firmware.
You can try dload method using ur previous firmware or use rollback package.http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/best-easiest-to-rollback-to-emui-4-0-t3507399/page1
When ur back with a working firmware,you have to unlock bootloader if its locked again,and flash twrp.
Once done u have to download nougat firmware with the data zip ment for ur region.
Go to twrp install the 2 zips( firmware and data) than reboot.
If the phone didn't boot after 10 minutes ,reboot into recovery( twrp will be replaced with stock recovery after installing the zips) and do factory reset.

Omg i forgot that the bootloader might be locked.. Ill try to find the comand to put my unlock code in and get back to this thread.. Thanks so much for suggestions.. Though ive had tkbdeal with it nougat is FANTASTIC

UPDATE: So far nothing is working. Tried the rollback packages and im still on nougat. I have an actual firmware version now. But its Russian firmware? Trying the dload method with L29185 firmwares like 200 and 320 and nothing works. Tried many things and now i cannot even install twrp. The install process would work it just wouldnt do anything when i tried to boot to twrp but now when i try to flash twrp over the recovery it just completely fails. no error code it just says it cannot find a file by that name or it cannot read it. adb says the bootloader is unlocked. Am i just completely stuck here on a buggy nougat installation? Is there any way to force a twrp backup to load outside of twrp?

ok so now most of this is done. Excuse me for pulling you aside I do hope you reply. Im having an issue getting twrp to work. Im on an official stock firmware. Bootloader unlocked, flashed twrp and im stuck at the screen that says my device cannot be trusted. Its on its way to booting to twrp but it completely wont. Its just stuck at that screen for about 5 minutes now. Ive let it ride and i think its just frozen there. Any ideas? im using the twrp posted by the commenter above you. The 3.0.2-1 and this is where im at.

Well now i cannot get my phone to stop wanting to factory reset itself. It keeps trying to boot into recovery and twrp is flashed over stock recovery and twrp still wont boot even though bootloader is unlocked. it freezes at the unsafe device booting screen every time it starts. I think this phone is bricked beyond repair now. Nougat update completely ruined my phone.

As long as you can get into fastboot mode, you can recover. Try to flash the nougat stock recovery then use the rollback package (try all three to see which one work) then you can dload back to your previous rom.

Did you try it and it works for you? I flashed this twrp and my phone just get stuck at the screen "your phone is booting" and I have to flash another twrp.

In total what ive done up to my current state:
Flashed nougat in. Installed wrong tried reverting and noticed twrp wouldnt boot. Downloaded rollback packages. Only the russian one worked and ended up on C636B180 firmware. Checked my other recovery thread for twrp and got twrp working finally. TWRP wont flash any roms for some reason. When it flashes roms it doesnt actually install anything. When i boot it just sits there on the screen you get with an unlocked bootloader i havent let it sit there for long because when i get back into twrp and check the file manager, there are no files in sdcard. So my rom straight up didnt install. When i check it on my pc the storage size hasnt decreased at all. Its just completely screwed right now and im so frustrated im probably getting a new phone.

If you are back to C636B180 firmware, you need to unlock the phone, flash twrp, which is fully working in emui 4, root the phone then use SRK to change to the software region you want:

The reason why recovery doesn't work is due to kernel isn't supported on new bootloader

What?

The previous twrp version doesn't work on nougat due to kernel.
I guess it's selected by bootloader or the new teecd
You can download twrp as mentioned here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=70126187
Also @tknguyencsu what works in that version for your mate 8?
Does MTP work and adb?
Data won't work unless you use encrypted version.

HELP!! Mate 9 Stuck in ERROR MODE After Reset.

Hello all, this is my first post so I apologize if anything isn't right.
I recently flashed my Mate 9 to stock Nougat B19x through a method I found on this site and then decided I wanted root. Bootloader was already unlocked so I flashed TWRP and then tried to flash a couple different root methods that all failed... So I factory reset through TWRP and tried again but they still failed so on the initial boot everything worked except the screen was blank except for the soft keys. I rebooted and the same again so I put it in fastboot and tried to re-install Nougat through the same method that worked before. It went through the whole process seemingly fine and finished with 'Update should start automatically' but then the phone boot into error mode. I've looked through everything I can find here and done everything I can think of myself but nothing has worked. I can boot into to fasboot but nothing else, not even after flashing any recoveries or stock images extracted from UPDATE.app.
Func no is 14 and error no is 1.
It's a MHA-L09 and I really need to fix it as I can't really afford anything else right now. Any help would be really appreciated and I'm happy to add more info if I've missed anything.
Thanks guys!!!

Sorry if it's not very concise, just really need help!

What commands are you using to flash the stock files?

Standard fastboot flash recovery/system/boot
Not sure if I'm flashing all the right files or if huawei needs different commands.

Follow this guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108

Thanks for your help. That's the one that I used in the first place but everytime I try again, TWRP either doesn't flash even though it says success or I can't get into recovery.
Everytime I try to access recovery using the hardware keys it boots to error mode so is there another way??

I've been looking into this some more and have found it could be a motherboard issue. Is this correct? And if so how much would that kind of repair cost and would it even be possible considering I've unlocked the bootloader?
Thanks again.

USB debug off, can't getting flash and stuck in twrp logo

Hello,
I was updating my pixel ROM version from the "Phone Setting". After getting all backup and downloaded updates, I've got an approach to auto-update on recovery mode. Where I have installed the TWRP on my phone recovery. After installing the update, it has been stuck in the TWRP logo.
When I tried for the fastboot access with the USB cable in the platform tool directory command, then I got that I'm not able to flash with the ADB. Because, at a previous time, I turned off the USB debugging from the developer settings.
I'm stuck in this moment now. Can anyone help me to recover this?

Stock updates via OTA update cannot be applied to devices that have TWRP installed because the OTA update requires being able to boot into stock recovery to apply the update. That is why your device is stuck at the TWRP logo, because your device needs to boot into stock recovery so it can finish applying the update but you have TWRP instead of the stock recovery that it is looking for and trying to boot into.
If you can't get USB debugging enabled, there is nothing you can do.

Problems with TWRP

Hi all
I'm having big troubles with my Galaxy S10e.
Initially I wanted to install the Pixel Experience ROM but I'm not getting anywhere...
To do so I figured I would install TWRP to flash the ROM via Heimdall afterwards and already there I'm running into problems.
It seems that I can only flash the TWRP version 3.6.0_9-3. Any other version will fail in Odin, don't know why because the log does not say anything helpful.
But the bigger problem is that once I install that version of TWRP the phone keeps booting into download mode.
The only way to fix it, is to flash the stock ROM and start over again, only to end up at the same point.
I am completely lost and out of ideas...
The phone is OEM unlocked, USB debugging is enabled and the bootloader is unlocked.
Does anybody have an idea how I can get a custom recovery onto the phone without it going into bootloop ???
Thanks in advance !!
Edit: Managed to install the newest version of TWRP but still run into bootloop to download mode.... aaaaaaaarghh
