Stuck in Bootloop! fastboot OK, can't load recovery (Failed flashes?) - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

Please Help- device stuck in bnoot
Current status:
Stuck in bootloop
Fastboot loads ok, can supposedly flash recovery_ramdisk & system
TWRP doesn't load after flashing recovery (or recovery_ramdisk with EMUI version) - I get "load failed" error screen
EMUI8 was probably not completely installed
Initial condition
Honor 6X w/ stock EMUI 5.1 (Nougat)
Traceback
Goal was to install LineageOS 15.01.
This is what I tried:
Unlocked bootloader (&wiped device)
EMUI8 was a pre-requisite, so followed this guide to upgrade
Ran script in guide, which loaded twrp followed by EMUI update screen (as expected)
EMUI update ran for a while, restarted (I think) at least once, but then showed failure screen
Tried rebooting- no system, stock recovery. (fastboot still loaded fine)
Couldn't install TWRP or use script anymore - after some research looked like this was because boot directories changed in Android 8 (recovery -> recovery_ramdisk)
Was able to install EMUI8 version of TWRP, but unable to flash rom or rerun update script (it used recovery2 partition, apparently changed to erecovery_ramdisk, which I couldn't flash to)
loading TWRP was unreliable, worked sometimes and didn't other times
Somewhere around here it seems like I deleted stock recovery (erecovery) while trying various workarounds
Tried installing ElementalOS
The included TWRP loaded, ROM Installation seemed to work but got error in the end (don't remember details)
rebooted device - can no longer boot to recovery ( Error screen: "Func no: 11 (recovery image) Error no: 2 (load failed!))
device stuck in bootloop and Flashing recovery_ramdisk/recovery has no effect!
can still enter fastboot without any problems
I'm hoping there's some way to recover to fix the recovery/system partitions so I can upgrade or at least revert to stock ROM!
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Well when bricked the first thing you should try to do is flash TWRP. Which isn't working now? Can you somehow re flash and boot into TWRP? What TWRP are you using. Please try this one and let me know if it boots.
https://mega.nz/#!a81EDZAR!2-9yPFh3reghkGcfSl3nRIJhHGkP8fqDsgUG66ewjkk
Another thing you could try is Dload method. It requires an SD Card. Extract the Update.zip you downloaded on your PC and now create a Folder called Dload in your SD Card and copy the contents of the extracted zip into the folder. Put SD Card in phone and Hold all three buttons i.e. Power and Volume Up & Down at the same time. Firmware should start flashing. Once it finishes, while device is booting, press and Hold Power and Volume Up to boot into eRecovery and Perform a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. The Wipe Cache and reboot. If this works, then lemme know and then I'll help you flash a Custom ROM.

Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately TWRP doesnt boot (tried flashing the image you posted, same error screen- image below)
Dload method- I can't boot into erecovery atm- not sure if it's wiped or just can't be reached.
Also- the EMUI8 update I downloaded contained 3 zips- update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, and update_data_public.zip. do I only need the update.zip? (I can't boot into erecovery anyway, so it's a moot point until I do)

Ok the SW you downloaded is NOT a Dload rom, plus you do not enter eRecovery to flash it. Use the "force" method by pressing and holding all three buttons on power up.
Download a rom from here :-
https://androidhost.ru/
Also instructions are in the zip.

Tried downloading a rom from androidhost.ru- it had the update folder structure described,
and I put the unzipped dload folder into microSD root like the instructions said.
But pressing vol up+down+power doesn't load any update screen for me.
It just goes to bootloop again.
Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks

Mate 8 Soft-brick - Any Advice?

Hi all:
I enjoyed KangVIP 386 for a couple of days and decided I wanted to fix the fingerprint sensor and i used the instructions below. Then, when I booted and tried to go back into TWRP to flash Kang VIP, my TWRP was read-only and it didn't read my internal storage. It was completely wiped and I couldn't flash the ROM. And the OS it booted into was some DL 380 version and nothing would open, no apps or chrome so it's not usable.
I tried Unbrick method via Italian knife, but it didn't work and now I can only get in the Your Device is Rebooting menu and it sticks there, or i can get into the eRecovery menu (download latest version and recovery) - but nothing works. Can't get into TWRP or boot.
Any tips?????
Thanks!
TRIED THIS ON l29 b386 kANG:
This build B386 finger print dont working? Please i flash yesterday un L29 and dont see option please help
1) Download the following:
https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?...e 8/boot.img
https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?...e 8/TWRP.img
https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?...208/update.zip
2) Boot into recovery and flash update.zip BUT DO NOT REBOOT
3) Afterwards back out of the install completed screen and switch TWRP to flash images in the bottom right
4) Flash boot.img to the Boot partition and TWRP.img to the Recovery partition
5) Reboot. Can take some time to finish booting, that's normal.
6) Boot back into TWRP and flash the ROM.
OK, I think I had the wrong TWRP image in the Unbrick folder for the Italian Knife unbrick function. I copied the TWRP 4.1 in there, re-did Italian Knife unbrick, then was able to get into TWRP and flashed Kang VIP. I am back in business. AND I have fingerprint working!
Man, this phone is NEUROTIC!! I'm not modding this anymore! This will be a #2 device and then I'll pick up a Pixel or something else to upgrade from my Nexus 6.

Hi guys i was trying to install a custom rom on my mate 9 (MHA-L29C432-156)so i followed the instructions ; unlocked the bootloader; then installed twrp 3.1.0-0; on twrp formated data; then full wiped and try to install AurRom from SD; but get a message that zip file is corrupted; so I tried with S.H.I.E.L.D ROM and it flashed , but then when boot goes to eRecovery, and give me 3 options download latest version and recovery; reboot and shutdown. So now I cant boot the phone, when I restarted, followed same steps , format data, full wipe and trying to installing again but getting a message about all zip files of the roms are corrupted; then i try to restore backup; and same again get the huawei logo, then the android logo , phone restarts and eRecovery again.
Please someone HELP, I use this phone for my work...........!!!!!!!!!
How did you full wipe?
Also try with Twrp 3.0.2-2

Something went wrong here. You can run 'adb logcat' to see the crash details while starting.
If you have a backup on twrp then restore to get phone working. You may need to flash the public and hw-data zips afterwards though.
If you don't have a backup then you could try flashing the C636 off line firmware and then use firmware finder to go back to your original firmware
Sent from my MHA-L09 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
you may just flash the modified recovery ( See Guide subforum ) ) to bypass the update certification and authorization and reflash an original firmware. your stored files will be lost anyway in most cases.
I would bet superuser ( shield ) and SuperSU ( Aurom) messed your boot image. Both are incompatible to each other and, afaik both are incompatible to twrp 3.1.
Flash TWRP 3.0.2.2, reboot to recovery again to change version, flash the rom ( f.e. shield rom), boot once up, reboot to recovery and THEN you may flash twrp 3.1
Thanks all of you guys, I've solved the problem, it seems that's something related to the sd card, I've formated the sd and transfer the files trough another phone and then put the sd on the mate 9, I follow the steps as followed before and works successfully, now I'm on AurRom and 182 firmware.

Phone won't boot and can't do much from TWRP

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?

Honor 6x please help me to get it back working

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!

Need to upgrade but have questions

Hi guys. I rooted my phone after purchase about two years ago using https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986
I am still running the same version now
Twrp
Model: MHA-L29
Build: MHA-L29C567B183
EMUI: 5.0
Android Version: 7.0
Any one got suggestions and steps to get to a newer version. I think I need to switch back to Erecovery etc but if someone had some exact steps and a good version to move to would be great. I had thought about installing magisk but my main concern is being able to run games like Pokemon go or Mario kart and they seem to be detecting my root. Not even sure having root is worth it anymore.
I installed stock recovery and did ota updates.. working like a champ!

Did you really flash TWRP to eRecovery? It is possible but people usually (specially if not installing Magisk on EMUI 9) flash TWRP to (EMUI) Recovery - which is not the same as eRecovery
So, do two tests:
- switch off
a) disconnect any USB
- press and keep pressing Vol+
- boot by Pow
In test b), do the same but with the phone connected to charger.
If it boots to TWRP in case a), then you flashed TWRP (as usual) to EMUI Recovery.
But if it boots to TWRP in case b), then you really flashed TWRP to eRecovery
If you have stock eRecovery, then in case b), once booted to eRecovery, do not accept Install latest or Factory reset, just Reboot or Shutdown
---
If you rooted by SuperSU, find an option like Full Unroot, or google for and find a zip for TWRP for unrooting - do unroot
Maybe, there are similar options for unrooting from phhSuperUser
Do not accept any OTA yet - if it comes
---
Install Firmware Finder app (from Playstore or from its thread on XDA).
Open, it will show firmwares for your MHA-L29C567
Scroll to the bottom to find your b183. Must be FullOTA-MF or FullOTA-MF-PV (2017.03.22)
Download its update.zip file, copy to PC, unzip to get update.apk - open it by Huawei Firmware Extractor (find its thread on XDA, read how to use it)
Extract Recovery.img (if you need to restore stock Ramdisk) or Recovery2.img (if you really need to restore stock eRecovery)
Extract also Boot.img
Flash Boot.img to Boot and Recovery.img to Recovery (if restoring Recovery), from TWRP or from Fastboot (similarly as you flashed TWRP from Fastboot back then)
Or, flash Boot.img to Boot and Recovery2.img to eRecovery, if you need to restore eRecovery
Now you should have stock Recovery and stock eRecovery - both tests a) and b) must not boot to TWRP
Also, you should have stock Boot - boot to system, check with RootChecker - there must be no more root
----
Have a proper SIM card and WiFi connection, go to Settings, System, Update, go to its menu and take the option to get Full OTA package
If it doesn't give you OTA update, boot to eRecovery (option b) as above, phone connected to the charger) and take Install latest firmware and recovery. Follow by Factory reset, only then boot to system
If eRecovery also fails to update from b183, you can try to update by HiSuite - it has also an option to choose installing a firmware
---
If it still fails to update, you can download by Firmware Finder b190 FullOTA-MF-PV (2017.10.31)
Download both zip files, do not unzip, copy them as downloaded to DLOAD folder on SD card (not Internal memory)
Switch off, press and keep pressing both Vol+ and Vol-, then boot by Pow
It should update to b190, and hopefully you will start receiving OTA updates for Oreo and Pie (must have SIM card)
If not - to be cont.
