Hi everyone. I have an honor 6x emui 5, android 7 Nougat, and I unlocked the bootloader but I have a problem (I followed this guide) after running the command C:\ adb> adb reboot recovery, it says:
"Your device has been unlocked and can not be trusted.
To learn more, visit:
...
your device is booting now "
but it stays stuck on this screen and does not let me access the twrp.
Do you have a solution?
I looked around for something but there is nothing concrete and clear. Thanks a lot.

Hi Luigi (ouch, thought it was Mario's bro :silly: ), once you flash TWRP through fastboot, you boot directly to it in way to don't let Huawei Recovery overwrite it immediately after?
To do this, as you finish to flash the image you'll need to boot to TWRP using hardware keys (at least that's what i did to make it works). When you're still in fastboot mode and TWRP is flashed, keep pressed power button and wait until your phone's display becomes black.
Be ready to hold down power button and Vol+ together as soon as you feel the phone vibrating while restarting (pay many attention to this step because it's the trickiest part - power button should be released while phone it's on black screen, but you'll for have to re-hold down power button again shortly after! Basically just hold the two keys and release them immediately as you see the Honor logo) and if everything went well, you'll finally be in TWRP.
Lemme know if you'll be able to win the game or if you need a Power-Up mushroom.

but then this operation I have to execute it before or even after visualizing the screen that I have told you before?
The point is that the twrp does not flash ...:crying:
I tried several times to execute the sequence, and now it is stuck on the screen of the 3 options, ie it does not start anymore
he did not want to. How do I do now? I've tried any combination of buttons but it remains locked :crying:

Immediately after that you've flashed TWRP and you get "success" message, when you're still on fastboot mode. Just type "fastboot reboot" and prepare to hold the keys once phone vibrates.

That's weird. But until I'll know more about the steps you did, helping becomes harder. Tell me something because just flashing stuff to recovery partition could not mess system that much, unless that you've flashed a wrong TWRP or the correct TWRP but in a wrong partition.

Hello all,
I rooted my HTC One XL a couple weeks back, installed CM10 (all was working fine), and in the process of installing the latest CM10 nightly, something went wrong. Flashed boot.img, then rom, then gapps. Wiped cache and dalvic cache, asked TWRP to restart system. This is where it's stuck now. It won't go past the htc logo, and I can't get into the bootloader by holding down power+vol down.
What did I do wrong? Is this fixable? Any help is greatly appreciated!
H8rift is working on a solution right now. If you can flash back to a backup? I would do so.

First off, can you get into TWRP, and do you have a backups of the time before you flashed the rom. When you hold power+vol down are you holding power until the home back and kill app buttons flash 6 times then release and hold vol down around 7 seconds till you see the screen with android skateboarders(Bootloader)
Second, I think their is a kit (Hasoons) Which you can try to boot you into bootloader or twrp recovery. But if your phone powers on, then i think your device is not a paperweight yet so dont worry to much as i think it can be fixed.

I can't get into TWRP, and I have backups on the device. I am sorry for being a dummy, but you're saying the manual way to enter the boot loader is to hold power+voldown for 6 flashes, then release the power button but hold the voldown for 7 more seconds? I've just been holding down both for the full 15 flashes. I am going to look up Hasoons rn.
THANKS!!

You are supposed to hold Power and Volume Down until the screen shuts off, then let go of power and continue holding volume down

So your saying you can't get into bootloader but, you got into TWRP?
The correct way to get into bootloader is hold power+vol down until screen goes off, then release power button.
If that doesn't work you can try to open bootloader through the fastboot cmd prompt.(if you ahve Win7 just open the file where fastboot is, hold shift+right click and you can open the prompt from there)

What he said, but after your phone powers off, when i held it for around 7 more seconds, it booted into bootloader when i did it .But try both methods.I was stuck in a bootloop as well, you will be fine. I forgot commands for fastboot, but if anyone wants to tell them to him he could prob get into fastboot by command prompt mabye?

your serial number should be on the screen if fastboot recognizes your phone. but I was always able to get into bootloader through commands on the phone.
Also, I can't thank Absolutelygrim and a few others whom I can't think of their names for helping me out of that situation.
ANYTHING Absolutelygrim says, I would listen and take note.

It's always best to Nandroid before you flash a ROM.
I didn't and I almost made my phone into a very expensive paperweight. Thank god for RUUs.
I also tried to flash a ROM that was for the international version and not the XL which is our phone.
Mods will eventually Close it, just ingnore the thread and it will be closed soon.
If you want to, I know posting a thread in here can amount to a long wait time, just shoot me a PM and I'll give you my email. I get that directly to my phone so I'll be able to reply a lot quicker.
I have the same problem as this guy, but when I hol the volume down button, it has no effect... I hold vol down and power, lights flash 15 times, I keep holding volume down while phone reboots, but no matter how long I hold it down, it just stays at the HTC legal screen.
Was running CM 10.0, and updated to 10.1 (9-3-2012 nightly) with 3-03-2013 GAPPS, via TWRP. Made a backup before flash, Installed both the zips succefully, pressed reboot, and now it doesn't get past the legal screen, and no button pressing is getting me back to TWRP =(
I replaced the screen once, and the volume buttons behaved differently after I re-assembled. Both the buttons work, but they act differently. Pressing vol down or vol up both bring up the volume dialog, but instead of increasing or decreasing the amount, it swtiches between mute and non mute. So I'm thinking the button is not actually doing a 'volume down' action. Any thoughts?
AND, how do you actually turn this device off? It keeps turning itself back on after the 15 flashes.
Thanks for any help.

Hey guys! I just got a One X from AT&T bought on eBay, although I live in Europe.
I managed to unlock the bootloader by changing the CID to 1111111 etc. (how many 1's?) and it worked fine.
I then ran installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery for the HTC One X through terminal and it was a success.
I rebooted by holding down the power and volume down, and attempted to boot into recovery. I got a white screen with the HTC logo, and red text underneath saying something like "do not use this without HTCs permission" or something of the sort. The phone then turned off.
NOW I'm trying to boot again into the bootloader (I think that's what it's called, but by turning it off and holding the volume down and power key) and it just doesn't work. I've tried a million times, with different variations of holding down the keys. What happens is the light on the touch keys at the bottom flashes a bunch of times, then it boots normally. Everything works on the phone otherwise.
I tried to do it via fastboot/terminal by issuing the command ./fastboot-mac reboot-bootloader but it just says "waiting for device..." even though it's connected.
Anyone had this problem and found a solution?
Recovery
Clockwork recovery is not supported on the evita. Download goo manager and you should be able TWRP from that. And then you can reboot into TWRP.
I think you flashed CWM for the international (Tegra3 quad core) One X. Install TWRP as previous poster recommended.
There is no version of CWM Touch Recovery that is supported for the AT&T One X. You flashed the international version. Fortunately, you can flash TWRP right over it inside Goo Manager.
Be thankful you didn't flash it inside ROM Manager or you could have bricked your phone. I've seen people do it in the past.
ansedve season
Thanks guys, and glad I didn't brick the phone!
I installed Goo Manager and installed OpenRecovery Script, and managed to attempt to go into recovery, but again got the white HTC screen and something about "development purposes only" in red text.
I think I'm really lost on this one, any help would be great, like a link to a tutorial?
in fastboot run this command "fastboot erase cache", then boot into recovery.

Don't be too concerned with the blah blah in red writing about development version etc. on the boot screen - you get that boot screen when you unlock the bootloader.

What did you do in recovery? Did you flash anything? Does the phone not boot up now?
Thanks guys for all your help. I guess know I technically know what to do to fix things, thanks to you. The only problem that after probably over 100 failed attempts I cannot boot into recovery. I tried all variations of holding the power and volume down button while restarting, rebooting, turning on/off or up/down sideways but it just boots normally every time.
This means I can't use fastboot etc. I guess unlocking the bootloader and voiding the warranty was for nothing
If you know another way to reboot into bootloader other than the hardware buttons method let me know!
Believe it or not, I think you are just performing the button presses incorrectly, if you can't access the bootloader. Bootloader is probably still intact, otherwise the phone would not be working at all.
1) In Settings>Power, make sure "fast boot" is not checked.
2) Then power the phone off fully, but holding the power button until the power menu comes up, and select "Power off". Wait a minute for the phone to power off completely.
3) Hold down the volume down rocker. DO NOT release it until I tell you to later.
4) Press the power button for 3 seconds, then release. DO NOT release the volume down rocker.
5) Once the white bootloader screen shows up, release the volume down rocker.
Alternately, you can do this:
a) With the phone powered on, hold the power button until the capacitive buttons flash (about 5 seconds).
b) The moment the screen goes black, hold down the volume down rocker, (again, DO NOT release it until the bootloader screen comes up) but release the power button.
The timing for this method is a little trickier, if you press the volume down rocker too late, it will boot normally (or safe mode), and too soon, and it just reduces the ringer volume and the phone stays on. But as long as you press and hold volume down the moment the screen goes black, it will work.
---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------
But also, I would still not recommend trying to boot into recovery until you have installed the TWRP recovery as mentioned previously on this thread, if you have not done so already. There is no CWM Touch Recovery for this phone, so I'm pretty certain you installed in improper recovery on the phone, and recovery will not function at all.
Alternatively, you can go into Goo Manager and select the "Reboot Recovery" option, which should get you into TWRP
Or from command prompt "adb reboot bootloader" so long as you open your prompt from your adb application folder.
Or alternatively skip the middle man: "adb reboot recovery"
I really think your problem lies with your button pressing -- follow instructions on the previous post and you should be home free.
Well I actually eventually managed it! I think the volume button was a bit stuck because it still takes a few tries to boot into bootloader, but eventually I managed it and am in the TWRP menu right now!
I did a little victory dance when it happened. Thanks again!
Ok I won’t go into how I bot myself here but here’s where I am. Unlocked bootloader, no recovery, no rom, USB devices command isn’t showing anything anymore. When I boot it just sits in the white screen with the G for ever. I can hardboot to bootloader and when I try to boot recovery I just get a black screen with a picture of a dead android.
Please refrain from calling me an idiot as I’ve repeatedly told myself that many times.
Can anyone help me out of this???
Thanks
When you are on the screen with the broken Android hold the power button and volume up it should bring you to recovery I believe. It might be even hold the volume up first then tap the power key.

Thanks eevanskiteboards, the tip about booting when I had the dead android screen got me out of the ****. You're a legend! I had to hold the up volume and tap the power.
my steps were, for anyone else,
1. hardboot to bootloader
2. choose boot to recovery
3. screen with dead android , hold power button and tap up arrow
4. stock recovery appears
5. choose ADB sideload
6. sideload full OTA update from google after wipe.
7. profit!
interestingly when I did ADB Devices the phone never showed up yet I was still able to sideload?
anyhow now I am back to Oreo and I can try and get root again which I was unable to with Pie
I'm glad you made progress!
Hello, i do not know where to post this but i really need help solving this issue.
I was installing twrp on my Redmi note 9 (merlin) and once the set up was done my phone rebooted to twrp, but it took time (a lot of time).
And i could not resist the urge of pressing the power button to restart it, problem is miui was not starting and it was stuck at the boot logo, i figured out it was a great idea to press the power button again, but it booted up on twrp, wich worked but the screen seem to be frozen and doesn't register any tap on the screen or anything, and now each time i press the power button no matter how, it either boots on my broken twrp recovery, or boots on my absolutely destroyed os.
PS: No matter how hard i try it seem to be impossible for me to access fastboot too...

I was able to get this issue fixed by :
1 Installing adb
2 Opening cmd inside adb folder
3 Entering "adb devices" while the device was connected
4 Then entering "adb reboot bootloader" while the device was still connected
5 Once the device was in bootloader mode i installed miFlash and downloaded this rom : mifirm.net/download/4163
5.1 If you have an error with the drivers, create a folder named log inside of the said miFlash folder
5.2 Also make sure that the path to the rom is not too long (i heard that miFlash had problems handeling long paths)
6 Once everything was set up i just hit flash and flashed the rom onto the phone
7. You're done ! You successfully repaired your phone and saved him from the depth of hell!
If you have any problems or need precision on certain points make sure to ask me in this thread so that other people can get help too.

Hello,
At one point this tablet was working just fine. It sat for a while and now it boot loops. Shows the amazon logo and auto restarts.
I can hold the proper volume up or down key and it says "Recovery Mode" on the bottom left but never enters into it.
Oddly enough I wasn't screwing around trying to do something I shouldn't have, but for the life of me I can't figure out what the deal is. Have anything I can try to possibly recover it? or is it straight to the bin.
Thank you in advance.
Take care,
Try fastboot boot recovery.img with the help of PC, if it boots format data and install rom.

Ive had this execute once, but when it does it looks like it wiped out TWRP as I cant get the small text to appear on the bottom left hand corner of the tablet while it does a boot holding power and the volume button.
So I'm not quite sure what I can do now.
Is there a method to flash TWRP with fastboot? or is that what the recovery is?
Could you provide a detailed list of items to try out and some high level instructions.
I've been thumbing through https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-fire-hd-8-2016-giza.4303443/ this guide, but realize I'm not sure which step I need to start from, so I have bene trying a bunch of things and kind of stumped.
Thank you Shiva,

Bootloops are definitely a hassle sometimes. On your device your can either play the button game , watching the device closely and holding the the right button combo when the device goes black in hope that the device will boot into recovery or fastboot when it starts the bootloop again. The easiest thing for me to do sometimes is wait for the battery to drain completely dead then plug the device into the computer while holding the button combination to enter fastboot or recovery. The crappy part is waiting for the battery to drain. I did do a google and learned that Giza uses vol down button and pwr button to enter recovery. But with a dead battery it's likely one will only need to hold vol down button while plugging in the device. If it's in a bootloop it's probably not necessary to hold power button as well, just need to hold the vol down button at the time. I will say with a fair amount of confidence that the device is not a loss cause. Good luck, hope you get it working.

I had a weird assumption that I had to wait for the battery to drain. Its just weird this thing happened when it was working just fine.. usually I know when I screw something up pretty good.
I'm more curious on what command I need to be running and constantly retry to load up TWRP via fastboot.
Thanks!

From what you have described issuing any command from a computer to the device wouldn't be possible as the device is bootlooping. I could not find any info on button combination to enter fastboot only recovery. from recovery there is a reboot to bootloader or fastboot option. that is your best bet. I have messed with at least a few different kindles in my time but there is always someone out there that has done more and may have another option they can add.

Hello apologies,
I'll try and be as verbose as possible this time
This executes
[email protected]:/usr/src/giza# ./boot-fastboot.sh
[2023-02-08 12:26:26.386801] Waiting for preloader
[2023-02-08 12:26:50.335150] Found port = /dev/ttyACM0
[2023-02-08 12:26:50.365886] Handshake
[2023-02-08 12:26:50.386040] Preloader ready, sending FACTFACT
*Holding the left volume button + power button for some time.
[email protected]:/usr/src/giza# fastboot flash recovery bin/recovery.img
< waiting for any device >
Ive had this execute once, but when it does it looks like it wiped out TWRP as I cant get the small text to appear on the bottom left hand corner of the tablet while it does a boot holding power and the volume button.
So I'm not quite sure what I can do now.
Is there a method to flash TWRP with fastboot? or is that what the recovery is?
Could you provide a detailed list of items to try out and some high level instructions.
I've been thumbing through https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-fire-hd-8-2016-giza.4303443/ this guide, but realize I'm not sure which step I need to start from, so I have bene trying a bunch of things and kind of stumped.
Thank you Shiva,

I don't think you are the best person to guide on this one. You don't even seem to know what an Amazon tablet is, considering you suggested to fastboot boot when that cmd was patched back then in 2015.
@likwidchz If you're able to access fastboot thru boot-fastboot, erase preloader with fastboot erase boot0, reboot and run bootrom-step.sh again.

Would you happen to be on IRC or some discord group?
I have done about ~7 of these tablets Suez/Giza but when something goes south, its not clear to me which step I need to start back from. Having a side conversation might help. In the end of the tablet is done, I am not going to be too broken up about it. But it's not a lost cause yet.
Thank you for the assistance! Much love.
--Take care.
