Hello,
I'm trying to install 4.4.2 Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607249 by arrrghhh.
when I try to install twrp I get the following error:
Code:

Also the green android with the open belly appears and I stopped it by holding powerbutton, and now it says Fastboot reason: Flash failure in the screen.
I tried installing goomanager and install twrp from there, but it didn't seem to work.
Please advice how to get the twrp to install correctly so I can flash the rom.
Thanks,
Stani

Why are you trying to install TWRP for the hammerhead (Nexus5)[email protected]??
That could cause SERIOUS damage. Please install a recovery for your device.
If you want to use GooManager, you need to be rooted. Regardless, you need to have your bootloader unlocked to install any custom recovery.
didn't find one
Wow,
I must have miss downloaded it, browsing threads...
Can you give a link to one that is for photon Q ?
The bootloader is unlocked, but I couldn't install superSU yet.
To be honest I'm kinda lost reading all those different threads.
At the same time I want to try your 4.4.2 )

What's your issue?
The thread you are jacking, the OP originally tried flashing a recovery for the hammerhead (n5).
Is that your problem to? If so, just use a recovery posted in the Photon Q section. It'll work much better.
Hi,
I'm trying to root my Moto G. Was able to unlock it but can't flash recovery or boot superboot with fastboot.
On trying to push twrp with: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I get the error:

I can't seem to find a solution online, does someone know how to fix these errors?

just install flashify from the playstore and flash a recovery from there its very easy and i think a large number of people had the same problem anyhow thats how i fixed it after further reading in xda cheers,martin
I am actually a fan of rooting without changing the recovery
just use
fastboot boot YourRecovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then flash e.g. latest supersu zip http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu you can even do this by adb sideload in CWM (for the recovery i used CWMrecovery)
i like this method because it will leave your recovery untouched and just root :highfive:
Why dont you flash just Philz Touch recovery? Then go to recovery option on Fastboot mode, once Philz has booted, touch REBOOT SYSTEM, then the recovery will tell you "Your device is not rooted or SU is missing, do you want to apply SU?" Then scroll to YES option and phone will reboot.. DONE, rooted! Now go to Play Store and grab SuperSU app.. Then you can flash to stock recovery....
All I had to do was change the usb port. Now everything is working fine.

The OP is trying to root his device. AFAIK Flashify requires the device to be rooted to work. What am I missing?
Hey there Guys, first of all thanks for takeing the time and reading through this post.
I have used the search function on this board and on google to an unhealthy extend the last 5 Days because no matter what i try there is always something in the way of every method i have tried to the extend that i almost accept the fact that my phone might be Hardbricked in terms of internal memory.
So lets get on with some data.
Im using the Honor 8 FRD-L09 with currently no OS whatsoever.
The Device is:
-Rooted
-Fully Unlocked (Bootloader, OEM, FRP, Debugging Mode (Enabled before Brick)
I Bricked my Honor 8 when i tried to use the Backup function of TWRP to later change the OS from EMUI 5 to AICP
The first try to change to AICP failed, saying for whatever reason that i cannot install this Update on a EVA-L09 Device, (which is strange since the Phone clearly says FRD-L09 on the back aswell as responding good to all past upgrades that i did , which were all for FRD-L09), so i chose to rollback to the Backup, however the Backup was corrupted in the process somehow and so the phone is currently without any OS as i couldnt reinstall the original Backup.
Ok so now for stuff i have tried and the errors i recieve while doing that.
ERecovery
After ERecovery is connected to any WIFI it spits out the error that no Packages can be found.
Fastboot Flashing
I have tried to install the Stock EMUI 4 Boot.img and then use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract the files from the UPPDATE.APP after i made sure that i have the correct firmware downloaded (The oldest possible, FRD-L09C432B101).
I can flash the boot and recovery images just fine, but the System and Cust images throw me the following errors:
System.img Error
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' (427769 KB)...
OKAY [ 9.631s]
writing 'system'...

finished. total time: 9.666s
Cust.img Error

sending 'cust' (416830 KB)...
OKAY [ 8.920s]
writing 'cust'...
FAILED (remote: partition error)
finished. total time: 11.151s
I have furthermore tested all other FRD-L09 Firmwares up to 130 and even the new B320 for EMUI 5 (for which i installed the EMUI 5 Boot.img) aswell as trying to use:
ZIP Flashing
I have tried to use the following command:
fastboot flash zip UPDATE.APP , which spits out the following error:
fastboot flash zip UPDATE.APP
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'zip' (81444 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.746s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.761s
I have then tried to lock and unlock the OEM to fix the Command not allowed issue which however did not work out.
MicroSD Updating
I have tried the method of using a MicroSD to install the above Update.APP's in a dload folder in the Root of the card with the stock recovery, however no matter what firmware or what Boot.img or what Stock Recovery.img i use, i always get the Software Incompatibility error.
TWRP Direct Recovery and ADB Sideloading
I have tried the method of directly installing or Sideloading the files through ADB with the help of TWRP, but i get the errors that either /data or /system or /internalstorage cannot be mounted.
I have tried the solution suggested on a few promising youtube videos to simply try a combination of formating to a different type and then back aswell as repairing and then trying again, which worked for /system and /internalstorage, but /data is still not able to mount.
So as you can see i have pretty much tried every trick in the book to get my Phone unbricked, however non of those methods work and im getting desperate.
If any of you have more ideas as to what i could try, please post them here.
Go onto MoDaco honor 8
Google it.
There is a guy called Paul O'Brien on there he will help you sort it out
@ newsupast
have you found a solution?
I have same problem with my FRD-AL10.
Also have checked MoDaCo, but help is very rare.
I've written to Huawei-Support to ask for a rollback-package, but they told me to ask my local support.

Hello! I tried to root my Honor 6x (BLN-L21, EMUI 5.0) following the instructions there:
cyberkey.in/how-to-root-honor-6x-100-working/
The bootloader was successfully unlocked.
But when I tried to flash TWRP the process failed and now my phone is stuck on boot :
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted [...] Your device is booting now."
I can get access to recovery and fastboot. I wiped the cache and tried a factory reset but nothing changed, my system won't start and I don't know what to do.
Please help!
if you have the boot backup then restore it.

I don't have any backup. Is there a way to just reset everything? Also I don't know how to connect to the phone anymore since adb won't find the device.
if you cannot find the boot.img
just do a rollback bro

I think that I flashed the wrong files in "boot" and "recovery". Please tell me which files I should flash there.
I used the commands:
.\fastboot flash boot twrp.img
.\fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

The guide from "cyberkey.in/how-to-root-honor-6x-100-working/" is simply wrong when it comes to flashing the twrp recovery. If you really followed this guide completely then you flashed the recovery to the boot partition.
Use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash the recovery.
You will still have to flash the boot image to your boot partition then (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Use fastboot flash recovery twrpname.img to flash the recovery
Ok so basically I need to flash the boot image. However I don't know where to find the stock boot image. I downloaded the so-called "full version" of the stock firmware that I found here: boycracked.com/2017/07/20/official-huawei-honor-6x-bln-l21-berlin-l21-stock-rom-firmware/
However there was no boot.img file inside.
If you could direct me to the proper stock boot.img or send me one, that would greatly help. I had EMUI 5.0 with Nougat 7.0 I believe, phone version BLN-L21.

Thanks. I successfully updated boot.img and and recovery.img, but system won't load, so I might have imported from the wrong STOCK version.
I tried to reinstall a stock ROM using:
fastboot flash system system.img
But I got this error message:

Then I tried to erase the system file with "erase system" and got this error:

I guess that the only option now is to install the files on an external SD card?

I recommend you to download firmware files only from the official honor website or by using the huawei firmware finder(https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146)
In this case try to use huawei firmware finder to get the right stock version for your phone. Download these two files: e.g. update.zip & update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip.
Export the following image files: recovery, system, boot and cust.
The try to flash them:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If flashing a partition via fastboot fails then it is usually because it's the wrong image or just not made for your phone.
Thank you guys, you saved my phone! I eventually managed to flash the files from Nougat update for European Honor 6X BLN-L21C432B360 that I found there: stechguide.com/honor-6x-b360-nougat-update/
Now the phone is working fine.

Hello, could you be more specific about your problem? I'll be able to help you.
Brief Explanation:
From the screen on which you're stuck, press and hold power button for about 10 seconds to forcibly restart your device. when you see the same screen again, immediately press and hold volume up button(for about 3 seconds) to boot to eRecovery.
> Choose shut down option on eRecovery. press and hold vol down button and insert the charging cable to boot to fastboot.
> Press and hold power and volume up button to boot to recovery. (You could do this even from fastboot screen and the screen you're stuck at).
Well guys, I think I did it. I think I really did brick my Honor 8.
Phone details: New Honor 8, Model is FRD-AL10.
It came with the Chinese ROM, locked. What I did was to unlock it with DC unlocker, flash TWRP as custom recovery and root it.
Later, I had some problems with installing Open Gapps so I decided that I will flash a custom ROM unto it. What I chose was this RROS. I followed all of the instructions, made sure my EMUI was up to date, deleted all of my fingerprints (although I did not disable the PIN lock). I performed a factory reset using TWRP, flashed RROS and started facing errors.
Trying to power up the phone I found out it was going into bootloop, not able to start up. Only recovery available was not TWRP, but the default Huawei eRecovery, that lets you restore the phone using the Wi-Fi to download the needed files. Panicking for my new phone, I tried to restore my phone this way, only when it completed the download it failed restoring.
I have tried to unbrick my phone using the Honor 8 Multi-Tool: flashing BOOT.img, CUST.img, Recovery, USERDATA.img and SYSTEM.img. The firmware I downloaded and extracted UPDATE.app from is this: FRD-AL10_C00B135_Firmware_China_Nonspecific_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_05013LBP.zip.
The Multi-Tool's log is this:
Code:

I also tried to flash UPDATE.app using a microSD card and the Volume up+Volume down+Power combination, but it fails after 5%, Saying:

Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
So either my phone is completely dead, or I am missing something here.
Can anyone help me restore my phone to normal function?
you need to find the rollback package, you had android 7 but you're trying to flash android 6
