Hello everyone.
I had a problem flashing TWRP on my Google Nexus 5, or better the problem comes when I try to enter the recovery.
I followed this pattern from stock android 6.0.1 with august security patch:
1) unlock bootloader
2) downloaded lastest TWRP (3.0.2 hammerhead) recovery from the official website
3) flash it with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Until this point everything's alright but then when I unplug my phone from the laptop and click on enter recovery something strange happens.
I can see the TWRP boot image but as soon as I go in I see tons of errors related to "cannot mount ..." and some partitions name like /data, /cache, and then starts the bootloop without let me any chance to do something. Sorry but I can't see every error beacuse this happen too fast.
Any idea on what is going on?
I've tried the TWRP 3.0.1 but is the same shuold I go down or maybe I have to change it beacuse of compatibily issues with the monthly patches?
Thank you for your help, I hope I explained my problem clearly.
After unlocking the bootloader, phone wipe all data? Did you reboot after unlocking bootloader?

No I've just unlocked and then tryied to flash the recovery without wipe.
But data is already wiped by unlocking the bootloader isn't it?
Anyway thanks for your reply as soon as I can I'll try what you have written.
Yes, the data should be automatically wiped. Try TWRP 2.87. If the phone still doesn't boot into TWRP, reflash stock recovery, flash userdata.img, immediately boot into stock recovery using the button combo without rebooting, perform a factory wipe, reboot into fastboot, and flash TWRP again.

Thank you so much for telling me to flash the 2.8.7, i've choosen the 2.8.7.1 without success (it did't flash i don't know why) but then after another wipe all I've flashed the 2.8.7.0 and it seems to work.
The only thing I would like to ask now is: I'm going to flash superSU and elementalX over stock AOSP (I don't want custom ROM for now) and can this recovery cause problem because of it is not the last update?
Thank you again for the answer!
I have not tried 2.87 with Elemental X. The only way to determine whether it will work would be to try it. I recommend creating a nandroid backup before flashing Elemental so you can restore if something goes wrong.
TWRP Restore problem
Hi, I have an issue with the resotre of TWRP...
Here's what I did:
-Downloaded the latest OTA image https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
-Downloaded latest SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable
-Downloaded latest ElementalX http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5/
-reboot to TWRP
Choose OTA, then SuperSU, then ElementalX
Luunch the restore..
And my screen is "blocked" from 5 hours on Install Zip 1 of 3.
"blocked" means doesn't move to the Zip2 but the clock is moving... the screen is locking itself after few seconds and I am able to unlock it...
Any idea how to exit properly ?
I have rebooted...deleted all my music... (I think that the issue may come from insufficient disk space) and relaunched...
Will see...

My N5 was already rooted... and it's the second time that I update the OTA using directly TWRP... and for the August patch it has worked fine.
I don't know what's happen now...

Hi, I've have successfully installed the last OTA update but not with zip file, instead I downloaded the factory image and flashed with fastboot boot.img and system.img (also vendor.img if you have one) then rebooted into TWRP and installed the lastest ElementalX and SuperSU.
I'm not sure but I think that factory image zip file are not installable via recovery but only with the flash-all that comes with them. This script use fastboot to flash everything you need of the factory image
You can find this procedure on the ElementalX website, here is the link hope it can help out: http://elementalx.org/how-to-install-android-monthly-security-updates/
Finally... I installed CM13 and ElementalX... in some minutes ...
I suppose the the problem was in my zip file...
Hi !
I installed TWRP to root my honor view 10 3/4 weeks ago.
Today I installed an update. And since then, the phone won't boot past TWRP (which I can access) or Huawei eRecovery mode.
When I land in the eRecovery mode it offers me to shutdown, reboot, or connect to wifi and do a factory reset. When I attempt the factory reset it tells me that downloading package info failed.
I tried to do a reset from TWRP without success gives me ERROR 9. I also tired to install the stock rom (update.zip) from TWRP and I also get ERROR 9.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to phones. Anyone have an idea of a solution ?
Thank you for reading !

Whats your model, if it is L09 then get the stock ramdisk image from magisk thread in development section and also search for recovery image. Flash it via fastboot and boot normally.
Never ever try ota on rooted phone.

When I try to boot the phone it displays the message that the phone in unlocked and should no be trusted, it shows the honor booting screen and after a few seconds shuts down and the process is repeating.
If i try to press the volume up key when booting it takes me to huawei eRecovery where I can either shutdown the phone or download recovery but it fails everytime.
Thanks
Try flash the No check recovery, boot into and wipe cache. Then reboot
Powered by View 10
Try this
1. Flash stock ramdisk img
2. Flash stock recovery img
3. Reboot to recovery with button combination ie; power and vol down together
4. Wipe data and cache
5. Reboot.
Hopefully it'll work if it doesn't flash system.img after 1 & 2 steps and follow the next steps
Hi please specify model
And what update you installed...
If the update was genuinely meant for phone I believe a data and cache partation format should fix this..
I hope you are atleast seeing the honor bootscreen...
Specify model so that we could point you to correct system.img
Also did twrp gave any errors formatting cache memory?

Hey,
I have a problem with my Honor 6x.
Yesterday I wanted to flash a custom rom on my phone (LineageOS). First I flashed the twrp recovery on it, after that B rooted the device. No problem yet.
After the rooting I wiped dalvik/cache, cache, data and system. Then I installed Lineage OS and GApps.
When it was ready I rebooted the device. It booted, but the boot animation didn't stop for a long time, so i decided to do it again.
I wiped the partitions (system too) and after that nothing worked at all! No boot animation.
The device is freezing when the "your device is unlocked" trys to boot a system.
I tried the dload methode mutiple times, sometimes it worked but it didn't boot and sometimes it failed while installing.
E-recovery doesn't either. It can find the package info or something like this.
Please Help me, Lukas.

download full package and use this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
How I solved it!
Yesterday figured out myself what I had to do.
If someone have this situation as well, here is what I did:
1. go into fastbootmode (volume down + power)
2. flash twrp (fastboot flash recovery **path on your pc**.img)
3. reboot in twrp (volume up and down + power or volume up + power)
4. download the update.zip (dload method) for your device* and the "Huawei Extractor" on your pc.*
5. open the update.zip in the Huawei Extractor and extract following images (.img): boot, system, vendor
6. put the image files on your sd-card
7. repair the dalvik/cache, cache, internal storage partition and change the filesystem to ext4
8. wipe the same partitions
9. go to install and install the images in twrp (select the image > choose the right partition (boot.img=boot))
10. after you installed the images you can install your custom rom and gapps
11. restart your phone and it should work!
US BLN-L24 on straight talk here. I've spent months trying to figure out a painless way to get this thing upgraded, rooted, and rom'd but 100 different threads explain 100 different processes and none of them are particularly easy to follow. Surely someone has taken the time to write up an updated, easy to follow guide for this specific model of 6x? Does this still require debranding?
Model number = BLN-L24
EMUI Version = 5.0.4
Build Number = BLN-L24C567B377
Android version = 7.0
Thanks.

There is. But yeah I agree. Anyway to debrand and update to EMUI 8 you need to follow a few steps.
You need an Unlocked Bootloader. If yours isn't unlocked, unlock it via Ministry of Solutions or DC Phoenix. Both are paid.
You need an SD card with at least 8 GB size.
First of all download Firmware Finder from Play Store. Search for model BLN-AL20 and download the 8.0.0.536 Full-OTA. Download the following three archives:
Update.zip
Update_data_full_public.zip
And the last one should be the one with BLN-AL20 in the name.
After you download the three files, go ahead and search for HWOTA for Honor 6X on XDA and download it. Extract it to /C. Once extracted, rename the files you downloaded before to:
Update.zip -> Don't rename
Update_data_full_public.zip -> update_data_public.zil
And the last file to -> update_all_hw.zip
Transfer the three files to update folder inside HWOTA 7. Now, you need an unlocked Bootloader. Now boot phone into Fastboot and connect phone to PC. And now run update.bat once it asks you to boot into TWRP unplug your phone. Now hold power button. When it boots up and you see three options menu, hold volume up to enter into TWRP. once in TWRP reconnect USB cable. Now press Enter twice. Wait patiently. Once it finishes, reboot phone and when you see three options menu, again hold volume up to boot into eRecovery. Perform a Factory reset. Once that complete, Format Cache and reboot. First boot will take several minutes. On first boot it will be an incomplete flash. You won't have any signal. To fix that, download Hurupdater. Search for it. Once it's download transfer it and the same three files you used before to your SD card inside the same folder. Next download TWRP from link:
https://mega.nz/#!a81EDZAR!2-9yPFh3reghkGcfSl3nRIJhHGkP8fqDsgUG66ewjkk
Once TWRP is downloaded, again reboot to Bootloader and flash TWRP by command:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img
Then reboot with fastboot reboot.
Once phone reboots, power it off. Next turn on by holding Power and Volume Up simultaneously till you boot into TWRP. Once in TWRP head over to
Wipe -> Format Data -> YES -> hit Enter
Once that finishes, press back twice. Now:
Advanced Wipe -> Mark Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal and System. Swipe to Wipe.
Once wipe finishes head over to install, select SD card and navigate to folder with the Hurupdater files. Select only Hurupdater to flash. Press Volume Down when prompted. It will take at least 10 mins. So be patient. Once it finishes, Wipe Cache/Dalvik. After that, Reboot System Now. When it's booting and you see these options menu again hold into eRecovery and wipe Data/Factory Reset. Once that finishes again Format Cache and then Reboot System Now.
First boot will take at least 10 minutes. So be patient and don't panic. When your phone first boots you won't have any signal. Finish setup. Then turn off phone. Plug USB into computer and the other end into phone while holding Volume Down when it's powered off. Once you boot into Bootloader reflash TWRP as you did before. Next flash latest Magisk. Install Magisk Manager and ES File Explorer and Grant SU rights of ES File Explorer. Then using root Explorer navigate to
/cust/all/cn/prop/local.prop
And edit the line
ro.config.full_network_support=true
Change true to false. Save and reboot. Now you have Network. If this works then I'll help you flash a Custom ROM.
I saved my PID and unlock code from last year when I first tried to unlock/root/rom the phone, so no need to pay for bootloader unlock.
I just unlocked my bootloader and it factory reset my phone, now waiting for phone to boot so I can go to play store and continue with your instructions. Will report back soon, hopefully. I made sure all my photos and contacts were saved to external SD before unlock so no data lost.
Edit1: Downloaded/installed firmware finder, retrieving those 3 files now, then will move them to pc. Getting hwota extracted to C:\ right now.
Got stuck near the end of your guide;
Code:
C:\Users\John>fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (9100 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.222s]
writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.232s
I put the recovery-v2.img file in C:\users\john\ directory, assuming it needed to be there since that's my working directory in cmd prompt when I submit that command.
I figured I would have to unlock bootloader again since it relocked from earlier, so I did that and went back to fastboot and ran fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img again. Now I get this error,
Code:
c:\Users\John>fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (9100 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.221s]
writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...
FAILED (remote: partition length get error)
finished. total time: 0.231s
Not sure what to do now?
Rebooted to recovery and had TWRP, noticed the update.bat window was still up waiting for me to hit enter once booted in to TWRP so I tried that. Flashed the three files I saved earlier, rebooted, now doing update install so it looks like I'm back on track and not finished yet.
Edit1: Performed factory reset, then wiped cache and rebooted. Phone is now booting. At this point it *Should* boot normally, no signal, then I can reboot to fastboot and continue with flashing twrp and last few steps.
Edit2: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img appears to have worked after booting in to fastboot. Then ran fastboot reboot, booting now.
Edit3: On this part my phone appears to be stuck on chinese language?
First boot will take at least 10 minutes. So be patient and don't panic. When your phone first boots you won't have any signal. Finish setup. Then turn off phone.

I'm trying to figure out how to get it to english so i can finish setup, shut down, get in tyo fastboot, flash twrp again, then boot in to that to flash magisk. Also do I get magisk manager and es file explorer in play store?
Edit4: Got it to english, finished setup, shut down, fastboot, reflashed twrp, reboot, shut down, enter twrp with volume up + power, sd card not showing up on computer to copy latest magisk so had to reboot system and put that file on sd(showing BLN-AL20 and EMUI 8!!!), shut down, enter twrp again, flashed latest magisk, rebooted to EMUI8, launched Magisk Manager(already present) and it downloaded/installed update and Magisk now shows latest version installed. Installed ES File Explorer from xda labs page via hisuite, shows installed but when launching it just goes to white screen so currently trying to figure that out so I can edit that file and restore cell service.
Edit5: Removed ES File Explorer since it's not working and went with MiXplorer, edited that file and saved, rebooted, now have service. Now ready for new rom!
Now that phone is unlocked, rooted, and on EMUI8 how do I go about flashing one of the official openkirin roms at https://openkirin.net/download/? Which one is most stable for daily use?
Edit: Also no google apps, so I'm very limited in using my phone until I can get one of the OpenKirin roms installed.

I used RROS and it was pretty stable with no major bugs. 99% daily driver. But you can see ignorable force closes here and there.
It's simple to flash all OpenKirin Roms. Just download the desired one, put it into your adb folder, boot your phone to bootloader/fastboot, type command:
fastboot flash system (filename).img
Regarding GAPPS if you're on Stock Chinese Oreo B536, just download the playstore apk from apkpure or any other source and install. It will work and you can then disable AppGallery.
OpenKirin Roms have everything included, Gapps too.
Edit: https://openkirin.net/user_guide/openkirin-rom-installation-instructions/
The detailed guide to flashing OpenKirin roms.
Went with LineageOS since I've always loved their roms, figured I'd try that one first. At step 15 I choose wipe data/factory reset, it reboots, I don't touch anything, and it loads to the black/red TWRP. It did this twice so the second time I did factory reset from TWRP and reboot system.
It then went to LOS boot, then "to start android, enter password" screen. Looked around on google, some people said clearing cache fixed that, rebooted to stock recovery, said data partition corrupted, factory reset again, rebooted, again went to that TWRP for some reason, factory reset in there, wipe dalvik/art and cache, reboot system, LOS boot logo, phone said it was encrypting, rebooted, LOS boot logo, encryption unsuccessful screen and option to reset phone, keep clicking RESET PHONE button and nothing happens. Was able to do a power button restart since LOS is partially working, same encryption unsuccessful screen with non-working RESET PHONE button.
How do I fix this? I think the problem is factory reset in factory recovery is not working, because when it reboots to start factory reset it instead loads to TWRP and factory reset never happens. Can't use phone at all at the moment.
Trying RROS next to see if that helps, but I did notice FRP UNLOCK wasn't on fastboot screen...not sure why? Maybe that is my problem? Bootloader is unlocked.
Edit: Flashed RROS, tried a factory reset from erecovery, rebooted in to twrp again. Tried to factory reset there and reboot, RROS loading screen, encrypting again, reboot, I'm now in rom setup wizard so maybe it's working now? Not sure if I'm still rooted, though or why fastboot stopped saying FRP unlock.

No frp on chinese oreo due to partial Gapps presence/support. That's not an issue.
Now the Wipe Data option.
Wiping data through TWRP decrypts data partition and wiping with stock one encrypts it. OS works with encrypted one. So after installing any OpenKirin Rom, do factory reset with stock recovery right after flashing the rom.
Now follow the instructions of flashing rom, after that flash and go to stock recovery, wipe/factory reset. Restart and it should work

That's the part that is broken for me, stock recovery factory reset. I click the button, type yes and hit the button, phone reboots but instead of booting to the factory reset process it reboots to twrp each time.
Right now I'm officially loaded in to RROS I'm assuming, but not sure if I should expect any issues since I never did do a factory reset from what I've seen so far.

I am SO sorry. I wrote the guide and went to sleep. Glad to know everything worked for you. Here Is the stock Recovery. Flash it in the same way you flashed TWRP. And then factory reset. I was writing instructions but look like someone beat me to them. Again, Sorry.
https://mega.nz/#!xiR2TYAB!kmt60JDRh4_7u37W56CEJZUuhcZvv6AefJiuadF1e9s
And if you want a Pie ROM just ask. I know a really good and stable one. I will help with that.
Right now everything seems to be working fine, RROS is working with no issues so far, getting all my apps/settings back in place. Unfortunately I can only add my work exchange email account(office365) to gmail on this rom, can't do exchange in the android e-mail app which sucks.
I know TWRP is still there on the "ramdisk" hiding, but I've done several shutdowns and restarts and it hasn't come back up so I think I'll leave it be. If it becomes a problem I can always flash the stock recovery again.

Again. I am SO SORRY. I shouldn't have been this careless. But if you want to be sure, just boot into fastboot, flash stock Recovery, reboot. Again boot to fastboot, flash ROM like you did before, this time boot into Stock Recovery and Factory Reset. Reboot and profit. And if you want Root, then flash TWRP like you did before, followed by latest Magisk.

No problem at all, worst case scenario I would have just gone back to stock firmware since I still have the files from last year when I tried rooting/romming and failed.
Everything seems to be working great though. RROS is real smooth and very customizable which I like. Just can't seem to figure out how to get the stock email app to allow exchange account, and how to customize the notification light.
Magisk Manager was present when I first loaded in to RROS, upon opening it did its updates/installs. Just ran a root checker and phone is rooted...so somehow it maintained root from when I did the EMUI 8 install. Should I have busybox installed? Will xposed work for me?
Thanks to the both of you for all the help. I'm so happy to finally have a good ROM on my 6x. :good:
Phone is all configured and running great, sorted out the fb messenger light issue, busybox running.
Is xposed compatible with this version of android yet? And if I wanted to try one of the other OpenKirin roms, what is involved in switching? Just flash the other rom and perform a stock recovery wipe/reset, or do I need to wipe data before flashing new rom?

No. No Xposed. And to switch ROMs, flash the new one via fastboot followed by a factory reset in stock recovery and you're Golden

Awesome. I might give LOS a try tonight, depends on how attached I am to RROS by then. I've been playing with my phone all day at the office tweaking and change stuff in RROS getting everything working just the way I like it. I'm so thrilled to have the phone rooted/rom'd!
Thank you again for all your help!
I want to revert back too. Will report.

What do you mean?
Dear op7p xda community,
A few months ago, I rooted my device and flashed TWRP succesfully. After a stock OTA (still Pie), I lost both. Today, I wanted to re-root and re-flash TWRP. I used mauronofrio's Tool All In One 2.0.0.7 for this. I didn't flash TWRP, but booted it and used that to flash Magisk 19.4. Now, I wanted to see if the rooting process was successful, so I booted the OS. Unfortunately, once it boots and reaches the lockscreen, the "shutting off..." prompt immediately shows and reboots me into the stock recovery.
Edit: I now flashed TWRP after booting TWRP again and ran Magisk to root it again. Unfortunately, the problem persists (only now reboots to TWRP instead of stock recovery). Help is much appreciated!
Can someone help me get my phone to work again? Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Wouty
What version TWRP? Maybe try a different one?

Thank you for your reply. I am now on TWRP 3.3.1-4 (latest). I have tried to factory reset and wipe the phone in hopes of getting it to start properly again, but now the OS doesn't even boot and immediately reboots me into TWRP. I have now tried to flash 3 different stock, official ROMs, both International and Europe, like OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.O.14_OTA_014_all_1907281611. I used the recommended flashing instructions (flash ROM, flash TWRP, reboot TWRP, flash Magisk) But none of them boot at all. Only TWRP is usable now. I don't know what to do

When it reboots back to TWRP try to format data if that doesn't work then you need to use MSM tool.

Thanks for your reply. I had indeed wiped data, but that worsened the situation (not booting at all, instead of rebooting once booted). I have now tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424 and it now seems to be booting (booting animation on-going for quite some time now, though). I will keep you posted. If it doesn't work, I'll look into the MSM tool. Thanks for the suggestion!

That is the latest official TWRP for this device. The official builds don't support Android 10, as decryption is not supported, so that may be part of your problem. The latest unofficial is -70, and I believe you need to use build -65 or later for Android 10.

Wipe is not the same as format. In TWRP, go to Wipe section, and you will see a button "Format data".
If you are now stuck on a boot loop, try booting into twrp and clearing cache. If you still can't boot, then i recommend downloading the full official rom and flashing it via fastboot. This will remove twrp and u'll end up with stock recovery and everything. Then after that follow proper instructions to install twrp first, then clear cache. Then magisk, and clear cache.

Trying to flash an official ROM via fastboot for a second time did indeed solve the problem for me. Now able to boot. Now backing up everything to make sure I'm able to solve these issues faster in the future. Thanks to all for your input!
