Phone stuck at Boot screen after installing TWRP recovery 3.2.1-berlin - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

I have BLN-L22 device. I installed TWRP recovery 3.1.1- berlin and it installed correctly. Then I found the latest version 3.2.1-berlin on official TWRP app. So I flashed that one and rebooted to recovery. Since then the phone is stuck at the bootscreen which shows 'Phone is unlocked, booting' message.
I can't connect to PC and how can I recover to original?

Official TWRP app (and relative site obviously) leads to a non working build of TWRP, i stumbled upon the same scene too while flashing official 3.1.0 version took by their site... Don't know why. Modded versions of TWRP made by OpenKirin team and HassanMirza01 works correctly instead. Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-honor-6x-hassanmirza01-t3733201 you'll find a working 3.2.1-0 version, i tested it by myself.
Now, to get rid of this and flash a working TWRP, you have to boot to fastboot mode with manual method, so begin with completely shut off the phone by keeping held power button for 10+ seconds.
Then, connect the phone to PC with the USB cable, and boot it up by keeping pressed power button and held down volume - immediately as you hear the vibration. From fastboot, you'll be able to flash back the working TWRP.

Problem Solved

Hi Thank you so much. The phone was restarting continuously after holding the power button. So I tried by pressing the power and volume down button which took me to fastboot.
Then I could install the compatible version of TWRP successfully.:good:

You can successfully flash even non compatible images. the problem only arises when you boot them. Simply, they won't be able to boot because they're incompatible.
first, get into fastboot, flash compatible recovery(they are different for emui 5 and 8, so check before you flash). Then boot to recovery by pressing and holding power and volume up button at once from the fastboot mode itself.
Update me with the result. I'll tell you what to do next based on whether the flash works or not.

can boot recovery from fastboot but can't flash!

Hey guys,
My friend is having some issues with getting twrp on his new oneplus one:
the bootloader was succesfully unlocked and we tried flashing the twrp recovery on it (both the latest version and the previous version) fastboot said that it was succesfull but when we tried to boot the recovery by holding power + volume down the device hung on a black screen and needed to be restarted, and this happens everytime! However if we do fastboot boot openrecovery....img it takes a while but the recovery boots just fine!
what's going on here? can anyone tell me why it won't boot a flashed recovery?
I have the same issue as you, and yet to find an solution. Try using Philz Touch or CWM instead, both worked for me.

Many people don't know the correct procedure to boot into recovery using the button combination, what you need to do is first hold volume down, then hold power as well, the phone will vibrate and you'll see the OnePlus splash screen, after about a second you can let go of the power button and keep holding volume down until it boots into recovery. If you continue to good the power button after seeing the splash screen the device becomes confused and thinks you're trying a hard reset.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery?

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 would while booting the device keep pressing the power button to force shutdown the device. immediately after turning off, press and hold both power button and vol - keys for 10sec or more and release. this will get you into the bootloader screen. on that keep pressing vol - to select 'recovery' and press vol + to go into the recovery. good luck

that leaves you only with one option. get into the bootloader screen, and flash the latest stock ROM using fastboot commands. then try flashing custom recovery, custom ROM from the beginning. i would skip flashing bootloader though.

Not able to get into TWRP recovery, stuck on "Your device is booting now..."

Not able to get into TWRP recovery, stuck on "Your device is booting now..."
Hey everyone,
I just unlocked my bootloader and now want to flash TWRP and SuperSU. My Phone is already Nougat with Emui 5.
The Problem is that I'm just not able to enter the recovery. When pressing volume down + power or trying "adb reboot recovery" in the command line, the phone starts in the "unlocked bootloader warning screen". But not like in the normal warning screen it doesn't give me options but just shows a white line saying "Your device is booting now..." and thats where it gets stuck. Only gets hotter...
The fun thing is I already was in the recovery but wasn't able to flash the SuperSU (r275). Maybe it was not compatible with Nougat. TWRP just couldn't mount various things. After reflashing the recovery below instead of some other version (don't know anymore) I'm not able to enter the recovery again.
Feels like I searched the whole Internet and there is nearly nobody with the problem or a solution. Tried this as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-boot-to-twrp-recovery-lost-root-t3567462. It seems like nobody who published a Honor 8 + Nougat + TWRP + SuperSU "How To" acutally tried it himself.
I used this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
Please help me I can't use WhatsApp because I need to restore it with Titanium (Database way doesn't restore all chats... Other problem)
Thanks everybody I just can't stand this anymore
I had this issue after downgrading to EMUI 4.1 and upgrading to 5.0 again via twrp. I flashed some old 3.0.2.0 version from another developer. Booted into that, flashed the update.zip package for emui 5.0 and then i was able to successfully flash and boot into 3.1.1.0

Thank you I got it!
So I got my L09 with Nougat/Emui 5 on it. Then just used TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70228949&postcount=252 (bootable, think ist ist 3.0.2.0) then flashed 3.1.1.0 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563 (bootable) and finally flashed SuperSu from first Link again. Other SuperSU versions (like the phh r275) WERE NOT flashable.
Magisk is the most compatible root solution for the Honor 8 on Nougat. The only thing that doesn't work (seamlessly) is MagiskHide, but the root itself works and flashes fine from TWRP.
I have tried to flash twrp multiple times to no success. I have tried multiple variations of the tool but for some reason when I go try to boot into recovery it takes me to erecovery which fails to do anything.
Are you sure about button combination
If you're trying to boot in to recovery with your phone plugged in to the computer it will także you to erecovery. If only i could find the person who całe up with this stupid idea that caused me hours of struggles, they'd pay for it. also when you use the pwr + vol.down combination let go off the power when you feel the vibration and further hold the vol.down until you see the boot screen appear.

I tried this like 20 times but this time it worked! I know have TWRP working. weird think tho is that no keyboard or default Huawei apps are preinstalled and BT isn't working.
Few problems with Binary SU and BusyBox
My phone seems to be rooted. Titanium Backup works but I have to accept every App instalation manually. With other settings restoring gets stuck. Also SuperSU reminds me every time that my BinarySU needs an actualisation but fails if it tries. And finally BusyBox just isn't able to get itself installed.
I'm thinking about restoring stock firmware, update to Nougat, and flash the two TWRP Versions and SuperSU again but hate to spend ours on my phone. OnePlus One rooting was sooo easy...

Is there a number of times you have to do it? How should I transition from this stupid "Your device is an enemy of the state" screen to something that will connect to adb?

Just Plugin your Nokia 3 to a charger or USB connection, and try your button again!
