i would while booting the device keep pressing the power button to force shutdown the device. immediately after turning off, press and hold both power button and vol - keys for 10sec or more and release. this will get you into the bootloader screen. on that keep pressing vol - to select 'recovery' and press vol + to go into the recovery. good luck

that leaves you only with one option. get into the bootloader screen, and flash the latest stock ROM using fastboot commands. then try flashing custom recovery, custom ROM from the beginning. i would skip flashing bootloader though.

i too faced the same problem. some one please help

While your phone is plugged into a computer with a USB cable, hold down volume down + power until your phone enters the bootloader. From there, flash the TWRP from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
After flashing, hold down volume up and reboot with 'fastboot reboot'. Once you see your phone is booting message, let go of volume up and it should load TWRP. If it freezes and doesn't load after 3-5 minutes, try the official TWRP from twrp.me (for Marshmallow devices) since your Nougat flash may be messed up. If neither works, then flash the stock recovery from bootloader and follow the instructions to do a force-update with the full stock system image.

Mine won't boot to TWRP and when I use the EMUI boot screen its saying it can't connect to Huawei erecovery servers. So I can't even wipe the root at this point. Any ideas?

Many Thanks!

Well this worked for me, after a day of googling. the twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img worked, it may have been following the instructions about "fastboot reboot, while holding the volume up.

hey guys.. having the same issue..
I have DUK-L09C432B183 bootloader unlocked and phone u locked..
I downloaded twrp and side loaded with adb/fastboot
but when I reboot (fastboot reboot) it doesn't enter twrp recovery but emui recovery menu.. any suggestions?
(I tried fastboot reboot whole holding volume down.. didn't work)

ok [EDIT] i could finally get TWRP installed .. i backup everything on external SD
then i flashed MAGISK.zip (v14) and from there phone will show HONOR and jsut now it booted into HUAWEI Erecovery and gives me 2 options "factory data reset "Q or Download latest version and recovery !
any suggestions how i can ROOT it ? should i keep on try with MAGISK or ? thank you guys !
SECOND EDIT

Hi,
If I used the official TRWP 3.1.1 first and it didn't work, can I just go ahead and flash the TWRP using the modified twrp.img at the above link to see if that works?

Not getting into recovery

I'm not able to get into recovery.
After doing something stupid on my phone, i wanted to flash a new rom (crDroid). But the recovery gave an error 7. So i wanted to flash the recovery from the thread. I wasn't near a pc so i downloaded an app called Rashr to flash the recovery.img. But then my phone wouldn't boot or get into recovery.
So i used the official flashtool from sony to flash the official software to reset my phone and now my phone works again, but i still wanted crDroid. I downloaded a permissive kernel from zach and installed it through fastboot. I also installed the recovery through fastboot but when i booted, no yellow light came up and holding the volume up button wouldn't work as well.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Also fastboot boot recovery.img results in the phone being stuck at the sony logo

When you have recovery installed in FOTA partition, you can enter it by holding VOL DOWN + Power button while the phone is off.
The way you described only applies when recovery is installed in boot partition.

This only works with 100% reliability after flashing at least .160 Nougat firmware via FTF (XperiFirm),
then flashing twrp/recovery via
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and the behavior varies from country to country (or even firmware to firmware, among network operators / giving the name "custom firmware" credit :silly.
This time [2nd flash of .160 firmware, different operator] the notification led lights up violet for me, previously it was something else (a form of red, orange) and recovery almost instantly booted up,
now it takes several seconds - if not 30 seconds until it's in TWRP.

Okay so i'm on 34.4.A.0.160. I flashed some different recovery images by now but still no change in the situation. I did al the recovery flashing using the 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' code and fastboot gave no errors and it looked like it works everytime. But when i boot there is no led light during the entire boot sequence.
Also booting to recovery with volume down + power button when phone is off, didn't work. It just boots normal. I tried it serveral times and every time i changed some things, like pressing the volume button or power button for a longer time. Also once again, here no led indicators appear....
My led light is not broken as it still lights up when i get a message.

I installed a old lolipop firmware through flashtool, installed the Androplus permissive kernel and recovery, also from Androplus, through fastboot. Now when the phone boots it gets a yellow led indicator. When pressing volume up during the indicator, the light turn orange but the phone does not boot into recovery, but instead reboot itself.
Once again, no idea what is happening. Fastboot is working fine or i would not be able to flash the permissive kernel and get a yellow led light. But why won't my phone boot to recovery? I tried multiple different variants of twrp by different people. Tried multiple firmwares. I think there is something wrong with the partition where the recovery is stored. Is this possible? And if so, how would i fix it?

*i think it is against the rules, but here is a BUMP*
No one any idea ? I can't flash anything without recovery

Same here

I had a similar experience. What worked for me was
"fastboot erase recovery" before fastboot flash recovery etc.
Might work.

Wow - folks there you have your answer - but no one seems to care or read it:

well, I flash twrp to the recovery partition (FOTA huh ?)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
after both steps were [OK]
you can disconnect the cable (= phone off)
Now press VOL DOWN + POWER at the same time,
wait for the Sony logo/screen to appear,
wait 1-3 seconds and release the POWER button - keep the VOL DOWN button pressed [probably can release ALL but still ...]
the phone should boot into TWRP/recovery after quite some time

Just boot the recovery:
$ fastboot boot twrp.img

Magisk rooting issue - Recovery erases itself

Hi,
I've recently gone to rooting my Note 10, I've managed to get the bootloader unlocked. I've followed the rooting instructions with Magisk via flashing with ODIN and then doing a factory reset in recovery.
Basically, whenever ODIN is done, and I try to enter recovery for the first time, it just displays 'erasing' for a second, the phone reboots, and root and magisk don't seem to work. I'm fairly sure I followed instructions to the T. Any idea what could be causing the issue? My phone is the 970F variant. I'm using the latest (android 10) firmware with Magisk and then flashing the processed file.
Thanks!

You should keep holding volume up and power. Don't release any of button when flashing is done and phone is reboot.
Best way is to disable auto reboot in Odin and when modified firmware is flashed, simply reboot by holding vol down and power key together.
As soon as screen goes black. Relase vol down and press vol up and power key. Let the erasing do, don't release buttons at any stage. You will get into recovery.

Phone keeps booting into recovery + stuck at splash screen

I went into TWRP which keeps freezing on splash screen ( twrp worked fine before flashing custom rom) and now when i try reboot or enter fastboot mode it keeps booting into recovery, this happened after going into recovery through the recovery option when holding power button on CrDroid, earlier i would go into recovery with power button and volume button combination which didn't bootloop (TWRP would still freeze on splash screen). How do i fix this?
