Unable to reflash stock recovery ... - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo everybody!
I'm on stock ROM NXT-L29C432B192 and since yesterday my Mate 8 is proposing the new Rom B560.
I installed TWRP and rooted my phone, besides I left the bootloader unlocked.
Since I no longer have the stock recovery, it's impossible to install the Rom update, that's why I'm trying to return to the stock recovery.
I used the thailand tool (I also used to upgrade to B192 on december) to restore the recovery: it seems to work as it copies files on the device, but at the end of the copy the phone stays on bootloader mode and the tool on a "waiting for device" state. If I reboot the phone, TWRP is still there.
I tried the "manual" way upgrading ADB drivers and using minimal-adb files, but while the command "adb devices" reports my device in an "offline" status, the "fastboot devices" reports nothing.
Obviously I activated the USB debug on the phone ...
Any suggestion? What am I doing wrong or forgetting about?
Many thanks,
Enrico

Do you reboot in Twrp and type fastboot devices or in Bootloader?

I managed to download recent "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" files that show my device no more as offline, but when I reboot in Fastboot&Rescue Mode my device is no longer visible and the command "fastboot devices" returns nothing ... if I try the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" it says "waiting for any device" while my device is on Fastboot mode and connected. USB Debug is activated and re-authorized from scratch ...

In Bootloader ...

Go in your Pc to the Devicemanager and looking the Driver.I thinky you use the wrong Driver,the right name is the name with sooner bla bla bla...
You can change the Driver manually in Devicemanager,named Android sooner .....
I hope you understand my bad english,sorry

Thank you, that's probably the reason, anyway I meanwhile solved by using my Mac instead of my PC ... as always ...
Now I've the stock recovery, but the update process starts and then (around 25%)reports an error and I have to reboot and download the whole update again ... and again ... and again ... I'm stuck there now ...
Anyone else had this update problem?

What you want,Update to Nougat B560 from B192?

Yes, that's what I want: upgrade from B192 to B560.
I also extracted RECOVERY.img from B560 UPDATE file and installed it through fastboot.
My mate 8 downloads the update, reboot to install it and stay stuck on the "your device is unlocked so cannot be trusted - bla bla bla - booting now".
I have to reboot several times (volume down + power) to have it restarting ... on B192, of course ...

Factory Reset?

So, now you are on B192 rom with B560 stock recovery?
You have to flash B192 stock recovery if you want to update to B560.
Let me know...

Great! That solved my problem: so, if you need to upgrade you have to first install the recovery coming from your actual version! That's crazy, it cannot be an earlier recovery or a more recent one, it has to be that one!
Thank you all for the precious suggestions.

Stuck at "...unlocked...booting now..." Bricked?

Solved.
AL10, NXT-C900B133, rescue0.3, NEXT
I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, and rooted using SuperSU with no problem by following these directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-install-t3301371
I then formatted data using TWRP wipe, then tried to install Stock Rooted No Encrypted Boot from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/rom-stock-rooted-encrypted-boot-t3303606
The phone never gets past "...unlocked...booting now...." (I did not install insecure_boot because I had trouble finding it---it is not in Mate 8 Android Development, only in Mate 8 Original Android Development.)
I can get to fastboot and to the Huawei recovery in Chinese (which doesn't work---wifi downloading stops with an exclamation point), but TWRP is gone, and I can't get it back by reflashing it. I've tried HiSuite recovery, unbricking using the Italian knife following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/unbrick-updating-to-b321-t3375934
with various roms, and I've tried force flashing an UPDATE.APP from /sdcard/dload. No joy.
I caused the problem by installing a B331 rom when I was at B133—dyslexic much? Once I got TWRP back, flashing a B180 rom worked fine.
The difficulty was getting TWRP back. To do that, I flashed the following files using fastboot—it may be overkill:
TWRP-2.8.7.0-ENG.img,
insecure_boot_b331.img,
and the files in
L29Fastboot.rar.
TWRP
Hey ho!
I had exactly the same problem yesterday.
I figured out my system only was able to boot when I hold down [vol-]&[power].
Then the "not trusted message" had a few more lines and the phone booted up.
When it's up again, you can use adb to reboot to fastboot: adb reboot bootloader
You can also try to go directly to recovery if you alrteady flashed it: adb reboot recovery
From threre you can try again.
btw: I had to use a complete different TWRP version. 3.x somewhat. I think it was from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-mate-8-t3298567
Info: I was NOT able to use [vol+]&[power] for Recovery, eRecovery or anything else. I was just stuck.
I hope it helps.
I recommend after getting your device back on track to use twrp to make a recovery on your microsd card. That way u have a sure chance of getting bwck to working order
Same problem here, but when I try to flash recovery or boot image using fastboot, I get the message "FAILED <Remote: command not allowed> ".
Any idea?

SOLVED....Can´t get to TWRP because of my fault

SOLVED!......
So hello guys, I am 17 year old, amateur in this mobile topic . My mobile is honor 8 with android 7.0
I unlocked my boot loader and then I tried to flash the TWRP thorugh the fastboot. It didn´t work. Everytime when the mobile was starting I finished on the screen that told me :"your device is unlocked...., your device is starting..." just the normal window when you have bootloader unlocked. I couln´t get into anything. I tried multiple twrps and then I found one called like twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563 that worked for me and everything was ok.
But yesterday I wanted to unroot the phone. I read here how to do that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-to-stock-locked-t3509004
But everytime I wanted to start through stock recovery.img (that was downloaded in update.app from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/models-stock-firmware-packages-honor-8-t3501942) nothing happen.
Still the window with the message your device is starting. I coun´t get elwhere then bootloader mode. When I flashed the twrp-3.1.1-1-frd again, it worked normal. But I still wanted to get stock.
I didn´t know what to do so I scrolled down the same site and found this:
"Extract the update.app use this attachment
take Boot , Recovery , Data , System .
Go to ur Fast-boot Folder move this Files inside it .
Open Terminal or CMD throw Admin Rights inside the folder
make sure ur device with fast-boot mode before connecting ur cable to ur device
and make sure u have drivers installed
Type in CMD
Fastboot flash Boot boot.img
Fastboot flash Recovery Recovery.img
Etc .. flash all .imgs
Last type fastboot oem lock <YourPersonalUnlockCodeHere> ( THIS ONLY IF U LIKE TO LOCK AGAIN !)
fastboot Reboot . unplug cable and hope Work Fine ."
So I did what is written there I extracted those img files from update.app and flashed them ...... Now even if I put twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img nothing happen I am stuck there only thing I can do is to boot to bootloader mode or be in the windew that is telling me device is starting....
And what would I want is to unstuck and go stock again.
Thank you in advance for your reply and sorry for the english.
How did I solve. I flashed twrp in recovery2 too, this solved it and mobile booted. THX for help guys.

I dont understand what you meant. the twrp-3.1.1-1frd.img doesn´t work for me at the moment it worked but since I did what I wrote it stopped working.
I cant get even in recovery mod.

(HELP ME ) Bricked

So i did a stupid thing and flashed the wrong image when i was installing a new rom, I managed to lock myself out of ADB, TWRP and download mode. I'm in a bit of a pickle right now I've been trying everything I can to fix it, but I managed to do nothing. Is there anyone that can walk me through the steeps to get unbricked.
I've tried recovery through hisuite, but it says my device is not supported. My phone showed up via CMD command (fastboot devices) but not (adb devices). I have no idea what to do?

Give the all required information like Brand, model number in your post first.
Huawei honor 5x kiwi L24, I can't really acces the phone so finding some information is impossible. My main issue is when I boot it's failing to verify the Boot.img , recovery.img and system.img . I don't exactly know what all information I can give you

I have already done that, I've tried flashing it via SP flash tool but nothing, it won't show up. I've downloaded correct drivers and done what I could but my phone shows up as Lemobile android adb interface. It sometimes shows as a disk drive as well.
When I run CMD command (fastboot flash oem info) it shows everything but the recovery.img system.img and boot.img need verification how can I verify them without the debugging bridge active on the phone.

What do you mean sir
Imgs are already verified cause they are official
And you don't need USB debug in fastboot mode
Your device is not has mtk processor so it won't work

I rooted my phone and was running xenon HD on my Huawei honor 5x, in the midst of switching ROMs I accidently targeted a TWRP recovery.img with the ROM and Gapps.
So what my phone dose now is when it powers on it an all green screen with a red box and a blue box. After a second it come up with " recovery image verify failed, please update to verified images." I can enter fastboot&rescue mode and a Huawei erecovery, but when i do try to download the recovery via WIFI it says package failure.

I had unlocked my bootloader but some research I was doing says, when you accidently flash wrong images it can relock the bootloader. I lost the original bootloader code and i don't exactly have the box anymore, so getting a new code will be difficult.

I have already sent an email to Huawei support, just waiting on a response to see if they can give me another unlock code. If I'm unable to unlock the boot loader again with the codes, what's my options for unlocling the boot loader without Huawei's help.

Huawei honor 6x Bricked? Need help please.

Hello all,
First of all I looked for a (sub) forum for the Honor 6x BLN-L21, but I can't seem to find it. If a admin/mod thinks this post should be placed elsewhere, feel free to move it.
Ok, now on to the problem I'm having with my Honor 6X (BLN-L21 All model)...
The phone is running the stock B361 firmware, I've unlocked the bootloader with the code I got from Huawei, installed TWRP and rooted the phone, all was working just fine.
Then, last Month y (sep 24, 2017) there was an OTA update to B373 available, tried to install it but it failed (nothing was installed btw, it never got to then point where the OTA did anything, phone would just reboot).
So after some searching and in a lapse of judgement I decided to (re)lock the bootloader thinking that was what kept the update from installing (command: sudo fastboot oem relock <code>).
And that's where my problem gets in.
Now I have a phone which only can only get into:
1.) Huawei eRecovery: Only options I have in eRecovery are: "Download latest version and recovery", "Reboot" and "Shutdown". No option to reset to factory or anything like that. "Download latest version and recovery" fails everytime, stating: "Failed to get package info from server". Gave my phone a static DHCP lease and even put it in DMZ on the router (just in case NAT/firewall was interfering), but that didn't help at all. Rebooting or shutdown will just put the phone back into eRecovery as soon as it's booted.
2.) Emergency/EDL: This is the mode where you're supposed to put the firmware you want to flash in the "dload" folder on sd-card. Tried that too, but it gets to about 5% and fails (tried B360, B371 and B373 update files, none work). When the phone gets into this mode it's also available to ADB. However, something seems to have changed dramaticly as I no longer seem to have any permissions on the phone. "adb devices" shows my phone but it also says "unauthorised". As soon as I try to do anything that requires root priviledges (like: "adb root" or "adb shell") I get an error stating: "This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set". Clearly that means there's an issue regarding the .pub keys on client/host side not being the same. Since I cannot pull anything from, or push anything to, my phone I don't know how I can fix this... And since I'm getting this message on the same machine that I used to flash TWRP on the phone earlier (which worked just fine), it seems to me this problem exists on the phone-side.
3.) Fastboot & rescue: fastboot finds my phone just fine, yet it flatout refuses all meaningful commands (only basic commands like reboot work) with the error: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)". Some searching tells me this is because the bootloader is locked and that's exactly what my phone shows on it's screen when it's in fastboot mode: "PHONE Relocked" and "FRP Lock". However fastboot command: "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" returns: "(bootloader) unlocked". This confuses me, a lot; if the bootloader is unlocked then what is preventing me from flashing anything? Trying to unlock the bootloader again through fastboot (fastboot oem unlock <code> / fastboot oem unlock "<code>") gives the "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" error. Trying to lock the bootloader again (fastboot oem relock <code> / fastboot oem relock "<code>") gives error: "FAILED (remote: stat not match)". Obviously I cannot flash anything from fastboot anymore.
Trying to recovery in HiSuite (newest version) doesn't work either, it just tells my my phone isn't supported, even though it does detect my phone when it's in fastboot mode.
Nothing has been flashed, so this is not a case of a flash gone wrong, it just looks like I'm locked out of my own phone and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get back in. And there's no way to boot into system anymore, so I cannot check/change "OEM Unlock" and "ADB Debugging" settings in the phone developers options
.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm stuck, Huawei customer service only tells me to do a factory reset, which I can't, and when I tell them that's not possible all becomes awfully quiet on their end (they don't respond to my mails anymore). I simply can't think of anything I could try to fix this, spend the last 5 days searching the web but nothing seems to work. Maybe some Android-guru's have some suggestions (I'm certainly open to suggestions! ).
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Tried some fastboot commands with regards to "FRP Unlock", command: "sudo fastboot oem frp-unlock" returns: "FAILED (remote: oem_frp_check_password failed! Error = -1)" not sure what password is required here to be honest and "sudo fastboot oem frp-erase" returns: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed!)".
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set"- is when your USB debugging is either not enabled or havent accepted the RSA keys. (faced this on ELIte v^)
FRP unlock comamnd wont work as your USB debugging is disabled and hence OEM unlock option is disabled as well.
Manually flashing any .img wont work as FRP is locked.
Only way to restore is dload or service center.

Oeminfo via multi tool ir twrp.data file is for regaining the updater app, theme, clock etc but oeminfo will fix your issue of generic device or nrd-test keys.
