Hey guys, just flashed a custom recocery to my P8 Lite device,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/testing-twrp-2-8-7-x-huawei-p8lite-qcom-t3187758
I have flashed this file using ADB fastboot - fastboot flash recovery folder/image.img
all went well, rebooted and booting into the custom recovery all fine, but when rebooting, and trying to enter recovery again using the POWER BUTTON + VOL UP buttons, it loads the stock recovery. It seems the only way I can get into the custom recovery again is using
adb reboot recovery
Is this normal? Is there a way I can ALWAYS enter the custom recovery using the phone buttons and without the need for a PC?
Thanks
Ok so weird I figured it out, everywhere it says press the POWER + VOL up keys to enter recovery. But for me (and I dont know why) its press the POWER and hold down VOL UP + VOL DOWN keys. Gets me into the KIRIN custom TWRP recovery
I do however have another question, Do I need to flash specific custom recovery images for the phone? Or can I flash any custom TWRP recovery images?
Thanks!
Found this how-to guide and thought it might be nice to have it on site here in XDA. This is to go back to Stock ROM and Recovery. I know a lot of the roms right now are pretty experimental so here's a guide to go back to stock if you need a more solid daily driver for now. Anyway, onto the guide, but first, the sources:

Did you make sure the boot.img was not corrupt. Maybe try downloading and flashing it again? Sounds odd.

maybe a mismatched recovery/kernel version.
Which version of android are you running? Easiest way to test is just to flash a newer stock Rom. Since you have TWRP, do a full nandroid back up and then flash the latest nougat Rom and it should overwrite recovery. If recovery now works, extract the recovery partition, flash TWRP, restore your data backup and then restore your recovery backup.
got it done now just had to get the right rom for the phone and flashed it over on twrp but know it said it was rooted and then kinda just took itself off of it when doing root check its taking around 30secs to tell me unrooted when before it would tell me if it wqs or wasent in a few seconds
I have done every thing correctly, in original recovery when i press "install update from sdcard" i get "Couldent mount /sdcard" and thats it. iam stuck.
(BTW there is no sd card installed, only internal memory)
how can i resolve this?

try to use adb sideload
I used an external sdcard and all is working, thanks ?
Bootloader open.
ZE552KL bootloader relock isn't working.
Hi,
I would like to revert to stock but i cannot find the original recovery for my ZE520KL (ASUS_Z017D) because on your mega link there is only the original recovery for the Z012D_WW_14.2020.1708.56
Could you add "Z017D_WW_14.2020.1708.56" or indicate which one to use please ?

I want to downgrade from latest stock to a previous version. Do I really need to install the recovery from the previous version?

I've installed TWRP & donwgraded to Android 6.
Now I want to upgrade to 7.0 because it supports VOLTE... do I really need to rollback twrp to the original recovery?

Stock recovery not working.
I have changed the ROM to my Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL many times. Tried again this morning,and last night.Failed.
Long story,please be patience with me.
- I managed to get the latest ROM from: https://www.asus.com/ro/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (actually i got it from the english version) and installed the latest using the stock recovery.
- Previously i had root on my phone by flashing with TWRP, SuperSu. With the latest firmware from the official Asus site, SuperSu is not working anymore. I tried different versions of Supersu (flash versions and app versions) nothing worked. I was unable to get root back on my phone. For me root is very important.
- If i try to install stock rom's using TWRP 3.02. i can't. TWRP 3.0.2 does not recognize my sd-card, i can only copy rom's into internal storage. NO stock rom (even the old ones from 2016) will install on twrp 3.02.
If i install TWRP 3.1.0 or TWRP 3.1.1 i can access sd-card and install all the rom's. Installing is successful but it will boot about 5 times until i get message "your device has failed verification and may not work properly . The device will shutdown in 10 seconds"
- The solution that i found 1 month ago, is to flash stock recovery, and install using stock recovery a stock rom from asus website. I tried to do this last night & this morning. Failed to do so. Reason: no stock recovery works anymore. You can find stock recoveries here : https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-88883-1-1.html I also tried to ask for help on that forum, but it won't let me post in that thread.
- I had an old stock recovery, but i lost it. I need a stock recovery that will work. After i flash the stock recovery it gets stuck at "powered by Android" it does not continue from there.
- I can flash back custom TWRP recovery, but even if i install official stock rom it wont boot. I need a working stock recovery, or any solution.
I am stuck . Please help me!
Hello,
i tried to root my Mate 7 (MT7-TL10) B560
when i installed the custom recovery TWRP and even the stock recovery.
i can't do anything!
the touch dosen't work , volume buttons , only the power button ! and it lock the screen.
tried 2 diffrent versions of the TWRP 2.8.7.0 and the 3.0.2,
and both versions show that i have a problem with partition or something!
"Unmodified System Partition"
and i don't know what to do.
i really want to install custom roms start using it
* i replaced the entire screen because the last one broke. anything to do with my issue?
I bought a fairly new 2015 tablet a guy a bought it from had Blisspop OS on it v3.8 -( it was mint in box ) anyway in trying to get it to accept the official Nvidia OS - it failed many times in Twrp recovery i hit the wipe by mistake now the hard drive got wiped and it only hangs at the Nvidia Logo - is there anyway top recovery it? I had a backup on my sd card of the Blisspop OS but i was hoping i could access it via ADB fast boot ( been reading yet unfamiliar with the process ) when i hold the pwr button and volume down it takes me to the recovery but it just goes back to the logo screen it not even going into twrp ( no dounbt because the drive is wiped ) its this futile or can i recovery it somehow
If you can enter TWRP you are saved
As long as you can enter fastboot mode you are safe as well
In case you don't have twrp you need to enter fastboot:
I believe its power + vol down (might be up its beeb years since Ive entered anything with button combinations). When you're there follow this guide to flash TWRP. You will also most likely need to flash some old version because new ones require the newest firmwarw and bliss os is quite old (again I might be wrong). When you have TWRP follow Lineageos [OFFICIAL] by steel thread to get the latest firmware file and flash it. Then you need a rom and that can be any one you like (you aon't find a rom on Steel's thread but there are new LineageOS threads).
Good luck
I installed TWRP 3.3.0 sucessfully on my Redmi 2 prime which was lagging a lot to install a custom rom. I wiped out all the previous data using twrp recovery mode. I had my rom zip file on my sd card. So to mount that ( had to remove battery) I reboted my phone without an OS. now I am unable to go into recovery mode. When I try power + Volume up button, my phone keeps getting rebooted in a loop. Using volume down + power button I am able to go into fastboot only. How can I get into recovery mode. Please help!!!!
I have a backup of stock firmware (excluding data) on a sd card.
PS: I read a similar thread here for a samsung device. The guy solved his problem using odin. what should I do.
