Fastboot is not working with windows 10, is there another way to flash those 2 files ? i'm on miui 7 with cwm recovery, but i don't know how to flash stock rom.

Try an updated fastboot file I know one of them work on 10 as I've done it.

First install hisuite because this program have good drivers
Fastboot work on win 10 pro x 64. I now because i use this Windows. Copy fastboot folder from snake65 but before change folder name to adb and copy to C:/
If you do it that.
Cmd administrator
cd C:/adb
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It take a moment and flash.

I have same prop but I have no os and when I tried to flash boot and recovery and press 3 bottom phone just restarting until battery empty
what should I do ?????

What mate 7 you have??? If you have L09 what firmware you have before you upgrade to lp. Download that same firmware and use Huawei extractor update app to take system.img and cust.img. Flash using fastboot. Then flash boot and recovery from snake65 copy to micro SD card full firmware lp and try flash using stock recovery or try take out all file you need from lp and flash as fastboot mode

TeamWin's TWRP Touch Recovery for BLU Pure XL (and clones)​https://twrp.me/​
TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.​
A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom ROM like OmniROM.​
Source to build TWRP you can find here.​
SCREENSHOTS: HERE
Bugs:
If you find any bug I haven't noticed, please go here and send me bug report. It would help me solving most problems in further builds.
Flashing instructions:
Use Flashify, TWRP Manager or follow this thread.
WARNING!
Code:
This is custom recovery image.
Wait for progress but don't ask for ETA - I have my own life too.
You are flashing it at your own risk - don't do it if you don't know what it's used for!
I'm not responsible for earthquake, thermonuclear war or any damage on your phone. If you point finger at me for messing up your phone I'll laugh at you.

Can you provide me logcat or at least error shown while restoring your backup? It would help much.
PS. Next time write in English because it's better for me and other users in this forum to understand what's your problem.
Update: Yeah... I've bricked my device too. Now I know the problem and I am working on it. Wait for beta3

The error was with TWRP 3.0 beta 3. Could not mount the cache for that reason did not finish the restoration, I reinstalled TWRP 2.8 per adb and got a mont in the cache. Now all ok with TWRP 2.8. Thank you for your attention, I am waiting for the first custom for blu pure xl. Summary error was to assemble cache error does not happen with TWRP 2.8.

Same issue at me. When I tried to restore the backup in twrp 3.0.0 beta 3 it stopped. And briked my phone.
I was needed to install twrp 2.8.6.0 back and restore the backup to boot again the phone.

Help!! My BLU Pure XL will not go into Recovery
I try to go into recovery mode and the phone just reboots. I hold the
power and Vol up key like I did when I originally rooted it but now it will not go into recovery any longer. I'm trying to revert back to stock and upgrade to the latest release. Can someone please assist?
---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------
I can not get my phone into ecovery mode. I did the buttons as I have in the past but the phone just reboots. It's like my recovery mode was deleted and the phone just resets. Help!!!!

I started with this link.
Let me restate my issue and shed light on my environment.
Power Button + Vol up does not go to Recovery mode - My phone just goes to a black screen and reboots. So, if any procedure requires that I can not execute right now. I need recovery mode back.
I am running Windows 10 Professional 64Bit variant. My BlU Pure XL connects via MPT so I can not assign a drive letter to it so that I can navigate to it via CMD prompt.
Fastboot command comes and stating 'waiting for device' because I can not get my device into recovery mode. So, can someone walk me through this issue and get my recovery mode reinstalled/repaired (Also I am not rooted)?

1. If you have adb working (for some reason in my case, my Pure XL doesn't want to be detected by it), then launch cmd in the same directory as adb and fastboot (SHIFT+Right Click) and use the command adb reboot bootloader to put it into the bootloader (don't worry about the tiny text on the bootloader screen saying stuff about security).
2. Then, after you put the TWRP recovery.img in the same folder, use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash TWRP back onto your device (not sure how you managed to corrupt/remove it in the first place).
3. If you don't have adb working (like me), download and use WinDroid Toolkit (which can be found on another post under "Pure XL Android Development"), connect your phone to your computer, select Pure XL under BLU in WinDroid Toolkit, go to the Commands tab, and click Bootloader under the Reboot section, then follow step number two listed above.

Fro no ADB, make sure you have debugging enabled in the dev options under settings (hidden menu you have to tap either kernel version or software version multiple times to unlock; i forget which, but its all over the forums and google...
Also if you have root (its unclear because you are saying you cannot get into recovery, and I honestly didnt read but the last post...) you can load terminal from play store and type "su"<enter> then "reboot recovery" <enter> and it will reboot into recovery
but Id look into the issue of the buttons not working, do they work fine else ware?

Thanks I am up and running and all is well. I can't get the update because I originally rooted the phone before all hell broke loose. But thanks for the help.

I get an error that it cannot mount '/cache' (invalid argument) after i do a factory reset

Z3 bricked

Hi,
I tried to install magisk on my Z3 with locked bootloader and fragment rom.
After hitting reboot the phone the screen turned black and my phone is dead. I doesn`t turn on.
Tried to flash a rom via flashtool but it says I have to turn on USB debugging. Thats not possible since my phone doesn`t start at all.
Fastbootmode is recognized, also flashmode.
What to do?

Just a little info about Magisk taken from the original thread:
"Sony Devices: If you're using stock kernel, it is using Sony's special ELF format.
Magisk will repack it to standard AOSP format, which requires your device to be unlocked"
Don't try to flash Magisk on a Xperia with locked bootloader.

[PROJECT][QUESTION] About Nokia 8 Custom Recovery and Unlock Bootloader?

I finally rooted my Nokia 8 PROTO with a custom TWRP recovery kindly provided by Chinese 7to forum.
Here's the procedure I did on my Nokia 8 PROTO:
1. I managed to extract boot.img manually by using WinHex manually. But I found the Recovery is combined into boot.img when analyzing ramdisk included in boot.img. This made Nokia 8 Custom Recovery difficult.
2. After maintenance purposed bootloader activated by OST LA, you could flash custom recovery by this command:
Code:
fastboot-android flash boot NB1-boot.img
Yes, that's boot partition instead of recovery partition. (Mine is TA-1012)
Sorry I've put the recovery for Nokia 5 by mistake, now replaced with correct one.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To activate maintenance purposed bootloader, you need to load original stock firmware with OST LA, then click "Edit phone data". When OST LA prompts "Boot FTM mode fail", the maintenance purposed bootloader is loaded.
3. Type this command but do not execute right now:
Code:
fastboot-android reboot
4. Press and hold Volume Up, then execute the command above. Keep holding Volume Up until you see the 7to logo.
5. The custom recovery doesn't include SuperSU ROOT package. I sideloaded "SR4-SuperSU-v2.82-SR4-20170918204844.zip" to the phone. The sideload option is in "高级" (Advanced in Chinese) catagory. I've never tested magisk on it.
6. You may want to remove verification feature in recovery. Reboot your phone.
I tested it on a Nokia 8 Retail Phone, it says "verification failed" after I reboot. So I wonder if anything wrong.
Here's the result if you're interested: https://twitter.com/Hikari_Calyx/status/917348942165155841
----------SEPARATOR----------
Here's how to enter Emergency Download mode:
1. Enter Download Mode by using OST LA.
2. After maintenance purposed bootloader activated by OST LA, type this command:
Code:
fastboot-android oem reboot-edl
In order to enter Emergency Download Mode. It may complex, currently it's the only way to enter Emergency Download Mode without disassembling.
3. Do something with your phone with QFIL.
----------SEPARATOR----------
I finally untrapped my Nokia 8 prototype, which has an unlocked bootloader.
Although Nokia 8 cannot enter EDL mode (Or 9008) with EDL Cable directly while Nokia 5 and 6 are able to enter EDL mode with EDL cable, I still figured out how to enter the EDL mode on Nokia 8 without any specific peripherals.
With @heineken78‘s nb0tools2016v2, I was able to unpack few of files from Nokia 5/6/8's nb0 firmware from @blackpanther0582, but that's only about bootloaders and rawprogram*.xml and patch*.xml, and I was not able to unpack any further, the program got overflow and terminated.
These files should be enough for unbrick your phone from full brick.
Anyway, that's off topic.
After I entered the EDL mode of my Nokia 8 prototype (with provided retail firmware installed), I used Partition Manager from QFIL included in QPST 2.7.460. I attached the screenshots of the partitions.
However, I noticed there's no recovery partition, which makes the TWRP port to Nokia 8 confusing.
(Although our Chinese Team ported TWRP to Nokia 6 and 5 recently)
And which partitions are important for bootloader unlocking?
Since we could enter EDL mode easily, it should be easy to unlock bootloader for Nokia 5/6/8 currently.

There not being a recovery partition would explain this. There is a obviously a recovery though, but it's accessed through the download mode. So my guess is the recovery is either hidden/baked in with another partition or it's inside the kernel like in the old days (more likely the former though). Unfortunately I know far too little about this stuff so I'm not of much help.

Well, I got this information from Nokibar.
To enter Recovery for factory reset if you want to try it out, here's the method provided by HMD:
1. Power off your phone.
2. Press and hold Volume Up key and connect your phone to PC.
3. Waiting for Android robot on the ground displays along with NO COMMAND, release the Volume Up.
4. Press Volume Up while pressing power key to get Recovery menu.

It does have recovery, but I still can't figure out which partition includes it.

Here's the result if you're interested: https://twitter.com/Hikari_Calyx/status/917348942165155841

So they did put the recovery inside the boot image like I first guessed. That's.... surprising to say the least as that's very old school. Like Galaxy S old school. Wonder why they did it that way, as it just feels stupid. Glad you figured it out though, now we just need a way to unlock the bootloader and we can get rooting.

HMD promised they'd unlock all Nokia phones one by one. It's just a matter of time till they reach Nokia 8.
But if someone can figure out how to do it before that happens, that'd be amazing

And here's another problem: When I rooted the phone, it will destroy the recovery included in boot.img, so doing factory reset is tough for it.

Makes sense as SuperSU modifies the boot.img. Unless we (or HMD) somehow can put the recovery on a recovery partition, a custom/updated version of SuperSU is going to be needed. Not sure if Magisk root modifies the boot.img but I would suspect that it does.

Prototype units are for development use, so most likely have secure boot disabled.
In retail unit or production unit with secure boot enabled, if you modified the bootloader (or its partition), the secure boot verification will fail.

Use adb : adb reboot recovery, then hold the power + volume up buttons.

Interesting to see 'OEM Unlocking' in the Developer Settings.

I tried to unlock the bootloader with Fastboot but I only get an error saying that it is not possible. That is with the setting turned on. So I guess the setting is still not active.

I see! Well then I guess we got to wait for Nokia to step up and do it then.
Great to be running pure AOSP out of the box though. I'm grateful for that, but would love to be able to get rid of the mountain of Google apps pre-installed.
Glad Nokia changed their mind about unlocking the bootloader!

Hold your horses! Haven't seen any unlocked bootloaders yet...

I was reading today this http://neopodapsi.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-nokia-8/
Is this for real or not? I was very interested in the Nokia 8 if they were unlocking the BL and releasing the kernel sources

[GUIDE] Root AL00 EMUI 9.1

To have root on EMUI 9.1 we need https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603907556
and ADB on the computer.
1. connect the phone to the computer, turn on the USB debugging mode
2. In ADB: "adb reboot bootloader"
The phone will go off in fastboot mode.
The downloaded file is loaded with a command: "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdiskMagiskAL00-b7f69238.img
5. We're rebooting with a command: "fastboot reboot, quickly disconnect the phone and hold the VOL+ at the same time (all the time from the restart)
The phone will enter the eRecovery mode and we normally click "Factory/WIPE" as if we were restoring the factory settings.
This will cause root (magisk) to save permanently.
Of course we need to unlock the bootloader, but now (10.06.2019) it is not a problem because they sell for $41 (I bought it on imei.by - paid PayPal)
I wrote this post because I've been working hard to get root for half a day and there were incomplete answers everywhere.

Maybe you flash busybox in magisk and unzip the downloaded file then replace the file in system with root explorer. Try and let me know also. Ps. I never try before.

I'm on a P20 Pro with EMUI 9.1 - 9.1.0.311
I cannot flash TWRP or Magisk boot img's, bootloader is still unlocked, FRP is fine, it's just not letting me play.
I pathced TWRP, Recovery_ramdisk, nothing is playing lol.
Perhaps it's the rom i'm on.
Thanks for the guide, but no good for the pro on 311 unfortunately.
Cheers

Thats what i thought dude
boot to bootloader
put magisk patched img in adb folder
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk.patched.img
Remove cable, boot and hold up
device boots to the first screen for eRecovery
same problem with TWRP
I've even factory wiped and booted straight to bootloader before flashing magisk or twrp, had to install the stock recovery_ramdisk to perform the wipes required
at this point i've no idea what to do so i'm looking for a non service firmware to flash, only the ones i've found are all 311 not above, can't find 320
sucks

Does this also work on my Huawei Mate 9?
And did you just patch the EMUI 9.1 recovery_ramdis via magisk or something else?

Doesn't work for me I have AL00 135

i had the same prob: the trick ist to keep Vol up and (!) Power at the same time until the blue bootschreen from the honor appears. Do it NOT as in earlier times: Do NOT realese power after the first vibration as before. After flashing the modyfied patched recovery (modyfied by magisk), keep both buttons until the blue honor bootscreen apears, then release the buttons & you will see only one text line (not the three), which indicates that the v10 is booting with root!

Anybody want to sell their rooted mate 20 x? United States only
Thanks

Does this work for Mate 20 non-X?!

I've been looking for a way to install Magisk on a Huawei Mate 20 Lite (running EMUI 9.1 before) for weeks, and you gave me the solution (= reboot to eRecovery then wipe before the first boot) ! THANK YOU !!!

What I need to do is to downgrade the OS to Android 9 so I can unlock the bootloader.
How can I do the downgrade? I already have the special Harmony cable for the downgrade.
