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 !

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 able to get into TWRP recovery, stuck on "Your device is booting now..."

Not able to get into TWRP recovery, stuck on "Your device is booting now..."
Hey everyone,
I just unlocked my bootloader and now want to flash TWRP and SuperSU. My Phone is already Nougat with Emui 5.
The Problem is that I'm just not able to enter the recovery. When pressing volume down + power or trying "adb reboot recovery" in the command line, the phone starts in the "unlocked bootloader warning screen". But not like in the normal warning screen it doesn't give me options but just shows a white line saying "Your device is booting now..." and thats where it gets stuck. Only gets hotter...
The fun thing is I already was in the recovery but wasn't able to flash the SuperSU (r275). Maybe it was not compatible with Nougat. TWRP just couldn't mount various things. After reflashing the recovery below instead of some other version (don't know anymore) I'm not able to enter the recovery again.
Feels like I searched the whole Internet and there is nearly nobody with the problem or a solution. Tried this as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-boot-to-twrp-recovery-lost-root-t3567462. It seems like nobody who published a Honor 8 + Nougat + TWRP + SuperSU "How To" acutally tried it himself.
I used this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
Please help me I can't use WhatsApp because I need to restore it with Titanium (Database way doesn't restore all chats... Other problem)
Thanks everybody I just can't stand this anymore

I had this issue after downgrading to EMUI 4.1 and upgrading to 5.0 again via twrp. I flashed some old 3.0.2.0 version from another developer. Booted into that, flashed the update.zip package for emui 5.0 and then i was able to successfully flash and boot into 3.1.1.0

Thank you I got it!
So I got my L09 with Nougat/Emui 5 on it. Then just used TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70228949&postcount=252 (bootable, think ist ist 3.0.2.0) then flashed 3.1.1.0 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563 (bootable) and finally flashed SuperSu from first Link again. Other SuperSU versions (like the phh r275) WERE NOT flashable.

Magisk is the most compatible root solution for the Honor 8 on Nougat. The only thing that doesn't work (seamlessly) is MagiskHide, but the root itself works and flashes fine from TWRP.

I have tried to flash twrp multiple times to no success. I have tried multiple variations of the tool but for some reason when I go try to boot into recovery it takes me to erecovery which fails to do anything.

Are you sure about button combination

If you're trying to boot in to recovery with your phone plugged in to the computer it will także you to erecovery. If only i could find the person who całe up with this stupid idea that caused me hours of struggles, they'd pay for it. also when you use the pwr + vol.down combination let go off the power when you feel the vibration and further hold the vol.down until you see the boot screen appear.

I tried this like 20 times but this time it worked! I know have TWRP working. weird think tho is that no keyboard or default Huawei apps are preinstalled and BT isn't working.

Few problems with Binary SU and BusyBox
My phone seems to be rooted. Titanium Backup works but I have to accept every App instalation manually. With other settings restoring gets stuck. Also SuperSU reminds me every time that my BinarySU needs an actualisation but fails if it tries. And finally BusyBox just isn't able to get itself installed.
I'm thinking about restoring stock firmware, update to Nougat, and flash the two TWRP Versions and SuperSU again but hate to spend ours on my phone. OnePlus One rooting was sooo easy...

Is there a number of times you have to do it? How should I transition from this stupid "Your device is an enemy of the state" screen to something that will connect to adb?

[HELP] TWRP Loop loading / phone will NOT start..?

I'm not sure what i did but i decided to install android 9 on my Samsung galaxy s7 (SM-G930F)
I installed android 9 on my phone and did not like it, so i went to reset it to stock 8.0 oreo firmware.
My phone was not rooted properly at this time* (not sure if that may have something to do with it.)
I went to reset it back to oreo and i factory reset my phone from TWRP, i wiped it and then it was stuck on wiping for a hour or so, So i held all 4 buttons to get to download mode to install 8.0.
It wouldn't allow me to install 8.0. it would just Fail every time. I tried turning my phone on, it would kick me to TWRP Recovery and it would NOT load. It is just stuck with the usual loading of TWRP With the logo, Teamwin and recovery project 3.1.3.0
I was able to put on TWRP 3.2.3.0 But it didn't help. it is just stuck on the loading part of TWRP before you get any of the options so i can't do ANYTHING on my phone.
I can NOT Get into the TWRP
I can NOT Flash on android oreo 8.0 using Odin
I can NOT Boot up my phone normally
my phone is either in the TWRP Loading screen or in download mode all the time. Unless my phone dies then its off,
If anyone has had this issue or can help please do, It would be greatly appreciated

Samsung J400F stuck in loop after flashing custom recovery TWRP

Hello people!
I have a J400F phone model, I was working with android 9 rooted & working well, I updated to android 10 with a fresh install, the phone works well, and I wanted to use a custom recovery TWRP and root the phone, it stuck in boot loop, this is how I flashed:
- Used Odin with the latest stock firmware "J400FXXU6CTGO".
- restart the phone, and the bootloader is already unlocked "OEM Unlocked".
- Downloaded TWRP for J400F from halabtech, flashed it, then rebooted to recovery.
- In home screen, Wipe --> Format.
- With TWRP I flashed RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip then no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip
After this I tried booting to system but then It kept rebooting after reaching the samsung logo.
Any help is appreciated guys.

I managed to access the download mode by taking out the battery, put it back in the phone, connect it to USB in the computer, press vol down and home button and you should be able to enter the download mode to flash the stock ROM (still reading on the second part).

Magisk update caused boot loop

Hi all,
today I updated Magisk on my H830 (stock H83030c with TWRP) and now it's stuck in a boot loop.
Since the phone does not support flashing in fastboot, is there any way to fix this without re-flashing a stock kdz?
<edit>
The phone is showing the "bootloader unlocked warning", then flashes black and shows the warning again, over and over.
I can't enter TWRP, only fastboot and download mode.
Thanks,
schalli110

Never mind.
Mashing the power button like crazy finally got me into TWRP and I was able to reflash a stock boot.img and then an old version of Magisk.
Phew.
I'll leave this thread in the hopes it helps other poor souls.

I have the exact same problem (thanks Magisk team!). Can you expound on the power button technique that allowed you to access TWRP? By repeatedly pressing it?
Funny, I've seen multiple posts about this happening on G5 phones after the Magisk update, but nothing on the Magisk threads.
