Boot into recovery from fastboot?

Hello, I have an Honor 6x, with unlocked bootloader, and wanted to install TWRP so I booted into bootloader
and flashed twrp.img via fastboot, but now everytime I want to boot TWRP it just shows the message:
Your device has been unlocked and
can't be trusted.
To learn more, visit:
*some link I can't post cause I'm new here*
Your device is booting now...
and then it is stuck in this state...
could I eventually boot into TWRP directly from bootloader via fastboot?
Please help guys, thanks in advance. :fingers-crossed:

What version of EMUI are you on? If you're on the 7.0 beta there isn't a working twrp for it.

Hm, can't find it. Where exactly are these instructions?

Hello. Replying here as I don't need a new thread for a very similar issue.
Brand new 6x with EMUI 4. Unlocked bootloader successfully. Using adb/fastboot tool I boot into bootloader, then flash my twrp img. For some reason this goes fine with no errors but takes less than two seconds (cause for concern?).
Now from this point is where I am having trouble. Regardless of what I do, the phone only boots into the EMUI recovery screen. I am aware of holding the volume up key on the first boot after flashing twrp so that it won't be overwritten. I have rebooted the phone manually and also through fastboot while holding the volume up button.
In a new city and only internet I have is thru my phone so this process is really slow due to all the restarts etc. Thanks in advance for the help!

Same problem here. I have a Honor 6x (BLN-L21) with Nougat on it (Build BLN-L21C432B360), unlocked it with the unlock pwd and tried to flash the TWRP (twrp-3.1.0-2-berlin.img) with 'fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-2-berlin.img'. After that I get always the same message after reboot or if I try to enter the recovery mode.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi there,
I have found it. To get the TWRP Screen I had to press all 3 Buttons (Volume Up, Volume Down and Power) at startup.
Hope this helps.

Sadly this doesn't work here, on a BLN-L21C432B130 with EMUI 4.x and Android 6.x
3 Button start method brings up always the EMUI recovery screen.
Power Button + Volume up Button works fine here with all TWRP versions up to 3.1.0-0, but never on a newer one.
Additional hint: It works only if the USB cable isn't plug into the device and if the phone was powered down before. That must me the reason why I never get that up, if I'm rebootin using the command $ fastboot reboot cause for this the cable connection has to be used

@all who stuck in bootscreen...flash THIS TWRP...

[LG G4 H815] Just need to reboot into recovery directly...
I have kinda the same problem: I flashed TWRP and a friend of mine told me that I need to reboot into recovery directly after flashing TWRP because otherwise the system replaces TWRP again when I type "fastboot reboot". The problem is I cant shutdown the phone and also the key combination of the LG G4 is not rlly working, I tried it dozens of times on my other one... Is there ANY other way of booting to recovery from bootloader / fastboot? Thanks in advance!
P.S.: I read something about "boot twrp.img"... Is that an option or does it just also flash TWRP?

Honor 6x (BLN-L24) Twrp overwritten by Default Bootloader

I have a Honor 6x (BLN-L24) with EMUI 5+, Android Nougat, all updated. It is the U.S. edition. I unlocked the Bootloader, installed ADB / Fastboot tools and can flash the correct TWRP recovery image (3.1.1-0-berlin.img) but everytime I try to reboot into recovery, the standard EMUI recover overwrites TWRP and I just end up in the EMUI recovery.
I've looked at every forum I can find, articles, etc... but can't wrap my head around this one. If anyone with a similar experience and/or with a solution could help, I'd be most grateful.
Thank you!

I agree with with Rommco05. He IS correct, as I wondered the same thing till I realized to try unplugging it. Also make sure its the Power AND up buttons at same time. If you happen to hold only the up button it will take you to the erecovery feature where it trys hooking to WiFi for updates , which wont help you either.

Still doesn't work
Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately, unplugging doesn't do it either with the key combination you suggested. The following article is helpful for key combinations but alas, it still won't load into TWRP.
It is really strange as I can't even get past "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen now. It just stays there...
Super frustrating. I didn't know if it had anything to do with my model being the BLN-L24 US version. I bought it at BestBuy unlocked.
Also, when I try to download "Latest Version and Recovery" from "Huawei eRecovery", I'm getting "Getting package info failed". I

Try OpenKirin twrp from recoveries section here on 6X forums

That's not the cause. My phone is also a BLN-L24 purchased from Best Buy and I have no issues using TWRP. What did you do after you install TWRP? Did you let the phone just reboot or did you try to go into TWRP before rebooting?
This is straight from TWRP website:
"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."

Key combination timing?

This is helpful, thank you. I found a page "Key Combinations Clarified for Honor 6x" which has a number of key combinations but nothing is helpful in my case that I know of. Do I use these key combinations imediately after the flash?
Is there a specific tutorial or guide that was helpful for you? I'd be grateful for any further assistance.
Thanks.

You need enter to recovery? TWRP?

That is the problem, I'm unable to enter TWRP after flashing it, unplugging the usb cable, holding power/volume up...

Finally got Twrp installed. Rooted and installed custom Rom (lineageos) but when I reboot after flash screen, it's just blank...

If I were you, I would go completely back to stock and start over. Once you fastboot flash TWRP, it is imperative that you reboot back into TWRP before booting into the OS. Also, bootloaders don't overwrite recoveries. They are separate partitions, so your title is a bit misleading.
Regardless, you must still have stock recovery on your device since it is "defaulting" to that instead of TWRP. Like I said, it is extremely important to boot into recovery after you first flash it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
let it do it's thing.
fastboot reboot recovery OR you can do it manually in TWRP right after the flash.

Have you tried rebooting to recovery from the system?
Connect your device to your computer, enable USB Debugging, and run
Code:
adb reboot recovery
from Windows CMD or Linux Shell, or any other one you prefer.
If this works, then you are doing the recovery key combination wrong.
Cheers

I'm having the same issue as OP. I have a BLN-L24 from Best Buy in the US. Reverted to emui 4.1 and android 6, unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.1-0-berlin.img, and it keeps booting into huawei erecovery.
I didn't get any info on what the OP actually did to get twrp installed.
FWIW, there is no "fastboot reboot recovery"
FWIW2, you can't turn off the honor 6x from the bootloader. the best you can do is a hard reboot.

I'm having your exact same problem. I can get into fastboot mode, flash TWRP berlin, but I cannot enter TWRP after flash. It just goes back to the normal warning screen "this phone is unlocked", boot normally or go to EMUI recovery.
What worked for you?

Hi there..
In fastboot mode, are you seeing "Phone unlocked".. if so then your phone has been unlocked successfully...
Also i dont think you can boot into TWRP by pressing a combination of Power and volume buttons.. You will have use the ADB commands to get in to TWRP. If you are able to boot normally into the phone.. Use ADB commands to boot to recovery.. that will help you install Magisk or SuperSu to root your device
ADB command is - adb reboot recovery.. this will allow you to get into TWRP (if it is installed without any problems)
Hope it helps!

Hi there?
Actually i have tried the command {fastboot reboot recovery} it goes on the screen where I'm stuck right now. Adn my is working as it do but I'm just not able to go to recovery. I don't know what to and we all know without recovery i can't get root and i really need Root.
Thanks Help if u can
I'll be thankful to you

Is it the Openkirin's version of TWRP? Regular TWRP doesn't work too well on Honor 8.

Can't flash TWRP onto OP6! Help!

Info: I'm on OOS, Android P, on a OnePlus 6. I've never rooted my phone before.
I've tried flashing TWRP onto my phone like a hundred times. I was able to unlock the bootloader, but when I enter "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img" in Powershell, it says that it found my phone and whatnot, but when I try to boot to TWRP, it just takes me to the Qualcomm Crash Dump Mode. I can just turn off my phone from that point, then boot normally. I heard that there might be issues with flashing TWRP onto an Android P, and that I might have luck flashing blu_spark TWRP onto it instead, but I don't know how to do that. I know next to nothing about this stuff, so an ELI5 would be super helpful here. Thanks!

The command should be: fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

Ignore the last comment, it only works on non treble phones. You need to download the twrp blu spark edition as it is the only one that doesn't crash on boot. Visit the blu spark thread on roms kernels and other development and download blu spark img and zip. Then follow the rooting and twrp manual on xda.

How to root OPPO Find X2 Lite

Hello I want to root my phone because I use AAmirror (android auto mirror) in my car
I unlock boot loader tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, TowelRoot, I tried to install under ColorOs Recovery Magisk or SuperSu nothing work
Maybe solution could be to modify an existing original rom (I have last one) and flash it ?
It's a very good 5G phone for price but seems alone
thank you

Anyone successful with magisk? I wanted to unlock bootloader, but got stuck with the oppo chinese website not doing what I expected... I read somewhere it's not possible to replace recovery ROM with TWRP, but it's possible to boot it using ADB or Fastboot once. Has anyone been successful, can you share how-to?

Perhaps something similar to:
(ROOT) Android 11 / Latest stock and patched img's / payload dumper / magisk_patched guides
Hi all, Have seen a lot of requests for patched boot images on these threads so thought i'd share a guide on how to get it yourself as well as all the files required, plus the patched boot.img if you just want to go ahead and boot/flash it...

That's my experience so far too. I can't get the phone rooted, I think i'll put it back on ebay.

Looking to get that device for testing, I found this which may help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-root-install-with-unlocked-bootloader.4157327/
