Erased Internal storage by accident- what now?

Hi, I assume there are some posts about this thing already but I've already read some and I'm still stuck >.<
So- I had TWRP 2.8.6.0 and Exodus ROM, was going to wipe data,dalvik etc in order to flash a different ROM, but by accident i wiped internal storage.
So I went into fastboot mode, connected the device to my PC (already got adb in my pc). did <fastboot oem unlock> ,pushed a ROM and Gapps, and flashed a twrp (using fastboot command to flash recovery.img).
then I used <fastboot reboot recovery>, and the phone stays @ fastboot mode, and i get this-
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
I tried manually booting into recovery and I get stuck at the 'ak kernel' screen right after booting my devices ( had AK Kernel before all this happend).
could anyone please guide me through this mess I've made?

If you were rooted already why did you unlock your phone again? why did you flash a recovery again. If you were rooted and wiped everything how did you accomplish that? Through recovery I assume correct? Sorry just trying to fully understand what you are doing.
If you were already rooted it should be boot into recovery then push a rom and gapps over then flash
Are you holding the right keys down to boot into recovery vol - and Power

Hope you made a backup. All you need to do is flash a ROM, though if you wiped internal you may as well return to stock.

Unable to flash TWRP

currently running newest official (12.1-YOG4PAS1N0).
I unlocked the bootloader-

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then I put the recovery.img file at the adb path.
then I enter fastboot and typed <fastboot flash recovery recovery.img> and it flashed it.
I disconnected the USB, turned the device off and then immediately booted into recovery (Volume down + Power)... BUT- it takes me to CM stock recovery every time
was wondering if anyone knows what can be done.
CM Recovery update is disabledfrom Dev Options ofcourse.
thanks.

Now since this is a straight forward thing you are going to get the basic questions which I suggest you put the exact route you took. was your recovery named recovery.img? Are you sure that its flashing?
Have you tried a toolkit although I agree to try it manually but just as another troubleshooting method.

Is the bootloader locked still?
If unlocked, try pushing twrp recovery with adb and install a custom ROM from twrp. If you can do that, you could recover it back to stock.
If bootloader is locked, try adb to reflash stock recovery and install a genuine OS from SD.
You may have messed up the partitioning..

Nope

I had the same issue when attempting to update to MM (probably because I stupidly tried flashing the OTA package through TWRP).
You need to get into fastboot mode (power + volume up I think), once you're in there push ADB commands as follows:
*I'm skipping bootloader unlock because I did that long ago, can't remember the process*
-After you have downloaded a stock recovery and the ROM of your choice push the following command: adb flash recovery yourrecovername.img
-When that's done and your ROM is on your SD card in the dload folder, press and hold both volume buttons + power, an EMUI screen will pop up and the device will start updating / restoring.
REMEMBER: Plug the phone out of the PC before you perform the "update", otherwise the progress will get stuck at 5%.

Flashing TWRP Berlin (3.1) guides to "Huawei eRecovery" anyway...

Hi guys.
Trying to install TWRP 3.1 for Nougat.
Everything goes fine (flashing, etc..) till the moment I "fastboot reboot".
Instead of prompting TWRP, I enter the "Huawei eRecovery"...
Is the stock rom replacing recovery at boot?
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I need it of course to install SuperSU and get rooted.
Thanks.

Just shut down device, and then press power+volume up button until a message is shown. Then you're in TWRP. You don't need fastboot for that.

Thank you for replying, but you do get my point.
after flashing TWRP 3.1, I enter recovery as you wrote.
The problem is that I see this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Not TWRP.
I don't understand why the recovery changes to stock one.

I wrote "fastboot mode" because it is part of the procedure to install recovery through ADB.
And everything seems to be fine UNTIL I write the last command to enter recovery (of course I need an ADB command to exit and reboot in recovery).

Probably TWRP isn't being installed properly. What command did you use?

(already installed on my pc drivers and ADB tools)
from the beginning:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(Once TWRP is successfully flashed) fastboot reboot
Then volume+ and power button

Well, that worked for me always. I don't know what is happening. Maybe a dev could help you.

I hope someone of them is reading this thread...

Are you on Nougat and EMUI 5?
Which TWRP image recovery did u install? Berlin 3.1?

Yes, EMUI 5, TWRP berlin 3.1. It worked with versions B342 and B360. I succesfully used Revolution recovery from P9 lite too, before TWRP 3.1 was released for our device.

Boh... I don't know then...
I succeded in rooting when I was on android 6 and emui 4.1. After updating to nougat (b360), no way.

You need TWRP 3.1.0-2 and unplug the usb cable...
TWRP_3.1.0-2\EMUI5

YOU ARE THE MAN, bro!
Succeded with new TWRP.
Thanks thanks thanks

power off completely. Hold down : Power + Volume Up. You will see the magic.

Been stuck for two days!! Thanks for the advice on changing to TWRP 3.1.0-2 and unplug the usb cable...That worked.
