Hi guys,
my Mate 9 is stuck at the black screen after the Huawei logo screen with the "Your device is booting now..." text. I can't get into recovery mode or fastboot mode. Is there any way to get out of this situation?
Here is what has happened:
I wanted to root my Mate 9 so I first unlocked the bootloader and flashed the TWRP recovery.
But after flashing the recovery I couldn't get into the recovery. When I pressed the button combination the phone was always stuck at the screen with the "Your device is booting now..." text. But when I booted the phone normally without pressing any button it would boot just fine past the screen.
So I thought I should try to relock and unlock the bootloader and install the recovery again.
When relocking and rebooting the phone it went to the Huawei Updater mode or eRecovery mode, I don't know which one. It wanted to reinstall the firmware or something. But that failed so I thought maybe I should flash the stock recovery so that it can install the stock firmware.
Then I unlocked the bootloader again and the phone reboots automatically and wants to factory reset the system but it gets stuck at the black screen with the "booting now" text.
Now I can't do anything. It doesn't boot normally, can't get into fastboot or recovery mode. Can't do anything, basically.
Is there a way to save it or am I game over now?

Booting to recovery (TWRP) using power + volume up with USB plugged in goes to eRecovery.
Power + volume down is fastboot, regardless if you have USB plugged in.
This mode should always work.
Power + volume up and down goes to the auto update screen.

Wow, I just wanted to say that no combination works but somehow it went into bootloader mode.
I tried the power + vol down or vol down + plug in usb but that didn't work. Now I pressed vol down + power and plugged in and plugged out the usb cable repeatedly. Maybe it worked because the battery was empty, i don't know.
I had a root Huawei and have now managed to have gotten it exchanged and will not be rooting this device for a while. While I miss out on rooted apps the speed and performance of this device for me outweighs having root access.

I scoured the forums, but have not been able to find out what I can do to solve my problem. So here it is.
I rooted my phone (to play around with some settings, what have you) and flashed TWRP recovery onto it. I got an error msg when booting up, so I decided to push an original recovery back onto the phone, because it wouldn't go to TWRP. I followed a guide (which I can't find now) to push back a stock version of recovery and it failed. My phone would boot normally just fine, but when I tried to go to recovery it would loop.
The OTA update came today, and dumbass me pressed continue (not thinking) and now I am stuck in a boot loop, and cannot get out of it.
Cannot get into recovery.
Cannot get into download mode.
Got any ideas?
Thanks
Same Problem
I have pretty much the same problem. Please help!
well without recovery/download mode working or the phone being in fastboot mode there really isn't much that can be done, you can always try to claim on warranty
boot loop
So, let me get this straight. If it failed when you tried to install the stock recovery, then you still have the TWRP recovery right?
I ran into a boot loop problem earlier when I tried upgrading TWRP. I just couldn't access my recovery so here is what I tried:
Code:
Turn your phone off.
Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
Let go of both buttons
Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
Try the steps above and see if you can get into a recovery. Once you do maybe try resetting. Hope that helps.
So, I got my new OnePlus One today and I tried to get CM12 onto it. I was following the [GUIDE] How to Install CM12 on the OnePlus One- Android Lollipop/5.0 on the OPO forums, and everything went well until I tried to get the TWRP on there. I flashed the recovery and rebooted the phone. I turned it off and then tried to boot it into recovery but it doesn't, it just hangs at the OPO logo until I hard-restart it.
I've tried factory resetting it and doing
fastboot oem unlock
but nothing happened. The factory reset pretty much just reset the phone. I think I might've messed up the kernel. How do I fix it?
EDIT 1: I've tried reflashing twrp recoveries and nothing. When I hold power+volume down, it powers on, shows the one plus logo, then reboots and just goes to the lockscreen.
UPDATE 1: I managed to manually flash all the CM12 files and use lollipop. I haven't tried the recovery yet but I'll keep you guys updated (if any of you even care).
UPDATE 2: Apparently flashing CM12 made the recovery work. Everything works as it should and the OTA to the most recent CM12 worked perfectly.
You're probably doing the button combo wrong. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

I was curios and enabled advanced reboot to try and boot into recovery and it worked (after I had flashed CM12). Everything's working now.

How did you manually flash CM12? I think I'm having the same trouble you were having. I used the oneplus toolbox from the forum to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP, but no luck in getting into recovery mode. It just boot loops with the oneplus logo until I release the volume down button at which point it then boots to the lock screen.

@Heisenberg I'm also having trouble getting into recovery. I've tried the different button combos (power + vol down; power + vol down and release power) as well as the advance reboot options to get into recovery, but they all fail. I get the 1+ logo and after I let go of the volume down button the screen goes black and boots again to the 1+ screen and then to the lockscreen. It's almost like it doesn't recognize the recovery. I tried putting the stock recovery back on using the image in the OnePlus One toolkit folder, but that one doesn't work either. In addition to unchecking the "CM Recovery Update", are there any other settings that could be causing problems?
For background info, I initially used the toolkit interface to unlock the bootloader and then flash the recovery. The bootloader unlocked with no issue...it wiped my device and I was in sync with the "How to root" video posted by alex.inthi. I got sidetracked after the (seemingly) successful flash of TWRP onto the phone I kept getting booted into the Cyanogen recovery. I realized out that I needed to uncheck the setting to keep it from overwriting TWRP and after that was not able to boot into recovery. After finding your beginners guide (thanks, by the way, very well written) I tried using fastboot from the command line as you show, but still no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Okay, I must have been having a special kind of moment - I've got TWRP 2.8.7.0 running on my handset now. I may have been holding the volume down button too long, or it may be that I was using an older version of TWRP, but I'm going to go with the former. I've also been able to successfully flash and boot into Philz 6.59.2
Having the same problem
I am having the exact same problem and cannot seem to find a solution. Recovery screen just doesn't appear, but goes to lockscreen.
Tried erasing, flashing both twrp, philz etc., but nothing works. The phone doesn't recognize the recovery status. Advanced booting does the same.
Update CM-recovery is checked off, phone is unlocked. I've followed every step of the big guide down to every detail.
Is manually flashing the 12.1 ROM the only way and in that case: is it hard for a relative newcomer?
I have a oneplus one with faulty voulume buttons, I tired flashing my phone today and it got stuck on the boot logo so I enterted into recovery mode and chose to reset the phone. The problem is now that it has been reset and is still stuck on the boot logo and adb does not reconsige it either. Anything I can do?
have you tried taking the back off and checking the buttons? they may not be aligned right. and if you cant get into recovery or fastboot mode via key combo, not much you can do

still stuck at device is starting screen
found this one is working for me https://www.******.com/install-twrp-recovery-root-honor-6x/
you must have flashed incorrect recovery.
remove USB and try to boot to system, it should boot. but if you try to boot to recovery, you can as you may have flashed incorrect recovery.
I was on Elite ROM v7 and I wanted to go back to stock with the official Honor 6X Rollback Package but failed. Now the phone stuck at boot screen. I can't boot into fastboot, no twrp, no stock recovery. 3 button dload method wont work any more. If I hold the power button long enough, the phone will reboot with two vibrations and go right back to "this device is booting" screen. I waited till the battery is depleted and tried every possible combination again, including volume down+plug in usb cable connecting to a pc, still boots into the same screen.
Here's what I have done that caused the brick.
1) while in Elite Rom v7, I power off the phone.
2) dload official intermediate package.
3) dload official 6.0. (it succeeded followed by restart and user reset.
4) the phone then stuck at the blue Honor screen.
5) I force the phone to reboot by holding the power button, the phone entered stock eRecovery. I did a factory reset. The phone still stuck upon reboot.
6) I reboot the phone to fastboot mode and unlock the bootload, after this step, the phone stuck at "this device is booting" screen and wont boot into anything else.
When looking back, I guess between 1 and 2, I should have booted into twrp and format data, which is ecryted.Since I missed this step, it caused the system hung at step 4.
I have a similar problem i thinck it has to do with the warning message i waited until battery was empty and then i got a little different screen wich allows you to enter recovery or boot the device if you get this screen booting will work.
In my case i get the broken screen only if i reboot if i shutdown i get the wirking screen. But my problem is a bir more tricky because the recovery dosent work properly it gives my the option o download stock rom and recovery but it allways failes wehn fetching package info...
The other option i get in the recovery is to shutdown or reboot nothing else
And i can't use fastboot because of the reboot problem...
Using the hardware keys dosent work too...

Follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-to-stock-emui-5-0-flashing-twrp-t3679985
Got the solution
After the battery was empty it booted into a little different screen wich i was able to boot from, then i downloaded the firmware and put it into dload folder on external sd. Next i force updated by holding [volume up] [Volume down] and [Power button]. Now i have a working recovery boot and Rom. Everything is stock and the bootloader is locked again.
I discovered this this morbign and didnt had time to answer earlyer sorry for that...
Someone asked because of the bootloader the only thing i got was this broken screen didnt react to my input, cable plugged in plugged out. Maby the warning screen comes before everything or there is not enough time for the timout or whatever... The important thing is that you can fix it that way!:laugh::victory:
