Unable to boot in to recovery mode!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an Honor 6 L02. After i used the honor 6 multitool to flash my CWM recovery back in to stock, i did not get the recovery screen when i pressed down the buttons, nor when i downloaded an app that would do that for me, also my OTA updates fails, i thought rooting was the problem so i unrooted, now Freedom stopped working so i cant use google play and youtube. PLEASE HELP!

also my phone was rooted so i unroot it

Please help

come on guys please

for the rooted phones you can try "Quick boot" from Google play store. It has option to "Boot into recovery"...
can you also try to send CWM again via Multitool and to see if you can get into CWM?

Does it reboot when you try to enter recovery or it restarts itself at boot process i.e honor boot animation shows up and then it restarts (bootloop).
I really don't know why you are still unable to boot to recovery. Were you able to boot to stock recovery before flashing custom? Also, is your bootloader unlocked?
Your best bet at this stage would be to flash stock recovery and then completely flash stock ROM. This would wipe your data but will resurrect your device from bootloop.

Sounds like you flashed the 3030 version of TWRP. Download the 3020 version and put it in your fastboot folder. Plug in the USB to PC
Hold power and volume up untill the phone reboots. While it's still off immediately change to power and volume down and hold till it goes into fastboot (bootloader)
Now fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
With the 3020 version.
Unplug the USB and hold power and volume up until it says the phone is booting.. let go and TWRP will load.
Go to Wipe / format data / type yes
Reboot to system and your all set

So I've tried that but the phone is still booting to recovery (flashing TWRP logo) no matter what.
Basically the phone is always on now because if hold the power button (or any other combination) for a few second it will just reboot back.
I have an access only to ADB, but I am not able to boot to bootloader at all, it seems the bootloader is damaged somehow.
Also that warning about unlocked OEM doesn't have that text saying "hold volume up to boot to recovery" etc. like before brick.

Hi there,
Try using the Huawei Multi Tool with the Unbrick option : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
Speaking from experience, this little fellow helped me recover my phone when I bricked it ON DAY ONE after failed root attempt... (Derp)
Let me know if it helped you
(Leave a thanks if it did )
EDIT : This tool is also useful if you want to get lazy whilst rooting. I use it constantly when flashing diffrent bits and pieces

Clearly follow My steps To unbrick and get normal device ::
Step 1 ::
Download the full firmware of your device.
Step 2 :
make sure that your bootloader is in unlocking state
Follow the video blindly ::: https://youtu.be/OMKDnBqbi3U?list=PL...eT9J26lkefvVkK
don't panic of mobile.
Step 3 :: done ..enjoy u did it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you bricked on nougat then follow the below steps
step one :::
download the downgrade package to mm .
then extract the zip and open the update.app using HuaweiUpdateextrator in that select recovery and extract
1.now, boot your device into fastboot and flash the recovery (Optional)(try this if it said incompatible version on recovery)
2. on your sd card and make a folder "dload" . and copy the update.app which we have extracted earlier
3.the switch off the device and press all three buttons you will be reboot into recovery and done . you device will be okey

Booting to the bootloader is just a timing issue
Phone must be hooked to PC with USB
And volume up and power till it goes black
Then immediately volume down and power and Hold untill the bootloader loads
Keep trying until you get it

I appreciate your help but I've tried it multiple times always with the same result.
I also can use "adb reboot bootloader", but it will reboot again to stuck recovery.

I've tried that, but I am still stuck as that tool is using fastboot as every other tool to flash .img files.
Thank you for the tip though.

Plug phone into computer with USB, then hold down power + volume down until it eventually boots into bootloader. I had the same scenario as you and that's how I got into the bootloader. You can flash either a good TWRP or the stock recovery, either one will work.

Google Pixel Flasher Using QPST

Hello
I have a Google pixel 128 GB device but recently it got bricked after an ota update. Unfortunately my phone is not rooted or unlocked. So I could not do anything under fastboot, also adb is crashed.
So the phone is bricked. But it can be rectified using QPST is edl mode I suppose. But as of now there is no such development for qpst for Google pixel.
But there are many users they face the same issue recently.
Is there any chance of development for it?

you said bootloader ! you mean the phone can boot into bootloader mode ! after that you said edl mode ? i dont understand. please explain. i may help !

*The Phone Goes into Fastboot with no problems.
*In Fastboot Mode if i try to go to Recovery, The Phone Reboots and does not go to the Recovery But it Keeps on Rebooting.
So the Recovery Partition of the Phone might be Corrupted.
So im looking for ways to Flash the Recovery partition with QPST or any other methods.
Fastboot Doesn't Help Because the Bootloader is locked.

I do believe I've tried this to no avail on a Verizon g-2pw4100-022-b (the "b" probably stands for "brickable").
I'm stuck in the same situation:
Power+vol down - bootloader
Bootloader to recovery - boot loop
Bootloader to barcodes - barcodes show
Edit: power on only leads to constant screen flashing unless you hold volume down for bootloader, at which point you can vol up once and power down.
Can't flash a recovery, can't flash an OTA since that requires adb sideload, which is part of recovery, and can't flash a factory image with the bootloader locked, which is only unlocked under development tools.
One thing to note is that in the bootloader screen, both "b/l" and the one below it (radio?) both say "n/a", which leads me to believe the December update from Verizon could be the cause.
Suggestions as to how to proceed are greatly appreciated.

I have a Reddit thread how to activate qpst .
You can also "adb reboot edl" if your PC can recognize your phone at least.
If not, power button and volume up(or down, I don't remember) for at least forty seconds sometimes brings it up
But then you'd need firmware to flash with qpst and I'm not sure how to go about doing that

Are there any solutions to enter EDL Mode in google pixel without adb?

Pixel 4a stuck in fastboot mode

Tried to follow this guide to root my pixel 4a and completed all steps up to 3.4. My phone is now stuck in fastboot mode and I can't get into recovery mode to do a factory reset. Not sure what to do, I'm a little lost. I accidentally used this or this image for Android 10 when I think I should have used this image for Android 11.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Maybe you can use this guide:
[GUIDE] UNLOCKING, DOWNGRADING TO A10, TWRP, ROOT
Hello, I'm posting this guide for those (like me) who can't do without TWRP on their device. I'm providing only a step-by-step explanation. Credits to @nikamura for his kernel and TWRP...
forum.xda-developers.com
And start on this line in "First Step" section:
Plug the phone into a usb port of your pc.
Then complete all the tasks in "Second Step" section to get your phone at least booting in android 10.

Run the online flash tool from bootloader screen bro. Make sure you install adb and fastboot tools.

Hello. Currently stuck in fastboot mode. Using the volume buttons to select recovery mode and pressing the power button to go into it doesn't take me to recovery mode. The screen briefly goes dark before entering fastboot again. I think the phone is trying to restart but not getting past fastboot mode.

Can you type fastboot reboot recovery and get into recovery mode? You'll see a little Android guy with a red thing if you're in there.
If that doesn't work- it almost sounds as though your recovery partition is deleted or something. You can reflash the recovery from fastboot.

Hey, I had the same problem. I've got it resolved now and wasn't able to find any help on how to resolve it, but this thread is as close as it came, so in the off chance that somebody else comes along, I thought I'd write up the steps I took.
Because it was in fastboot mode, I was able to easily restore my phone to factory settings by running flash factory image script I downloaded here.
My original image was sunfish-rq3a.210605.005-factory-be541467 which I followed the steps with but couldn't get it to work. I got to the Google logo with a status bar that just ran forever. But the flash-all.sh script worked to get the phone booting again.
So what I did to get Magisk to work was to use that same factory image site to download an older version. I used a version that was listed in a different root guide with the idea that maybe the version I tried before wasn't compatible with magisk, but presumably the one from the guide was. So I tried sunfish-rq1a.210105.002, ran the flash-all in fastboot, and confirmed that it booted--it did.
Next I redid 2.2 through 3 and it worked, and the boot completed with Magisk installed. Everything seems to be working fine now.

Question Stuck in fastboot

I am using Poco X3 Pro. Global version. I think I flashed the ROM incorrectly. Resulted in my phone forever in fastboot. Can be detected by PC in the platform-tools CMD, by typing fastboot devices.
However I cannot get into recovery mode by pressing vol up and power buttons. I tried ”fastboot reboot recovery”, my phone reboot into fastboot again.
What should I do now?
Is there a proper guide step by step?
I unlock bootloader and want to install magisk to root my phone as I require root access. However it seemed difficult to me to root the phone.
