did "clear cache" from recovery menu helped?
can you use fastboot with it?
if yes then the idea is to boot it from usb to adb shell and than copy all data to sdcard.
basically same idea as boot broken PC from recovery CD.

I have "wipe cache" and no result with it..
I downloaded fastboot and tried to write "fastboot devices" in cmd but no result
thank you very much for your reply anyway

did you hold volume button to enter fastboot?
it is not the same as recovery - sometimes it is vol-down when recovery is vol-up.
if you enter fastboot properly for you it will looks like if phone is stuck at logo.

Wipe help and bootloader

I have unlocked my boot loader which doesn't allow you to use recovery mode. Is there a way to completely wipe the phone and undo the bootloader thing? What program can you use. Also, how can you hide the bootloader unlocked start up screen? Thanks

I want to be sure you have all your ideas straight. How comfortable are you with working from the bootloader or from recovery? What tools do you use? Can you access recovery by this method?: Hold "Power" and "Volume Down" for ten seconds and release. This takes you to the bootloader. Then press "Volume Down" once to select the recovery, then press "Volume Up" to activate that option. This should then boot into the recovery. If that is not what happens, let us know what happens instead.

There should be no problem using any of the various recovery modes with an unlocked bootloader. Stock, TWRP, and CWM should all work fine. Can you describe what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen?

There are several things here. You can wipe the phone and return it to factory defaults by using "fastboot -w". This does not change your bootloader or recovery. You can re-lock you bootloader, but it will always register that the bootloader was once unlocked. There is no real benefit to relocking the bootloader so I won't put instructions here, but let me know if that's what you want to do. Finally, you can flash a new recovery image onto your device, which will wipe out whatever recovery image you had on there. The command looks like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
Also, how can you hide the bootloader unlocked start up screen?

This is simple as flashing a new logo. The command is "fastboot flash logo logo.bin". This will overwrite the stock logo (which checks if the phone is unlocked) with a modified one which looks the same whether it is unlocked or not.

I mean fastboot recovery thing if that's what you didnt think.
I can get into the recovery screen fine. Selecting recovery puts me into a no command screen and then just boots up as normally. I was expecting to get another menu with factory reset and cache reset, and factory just boots up normally. Is factory reset from the fastboot screen just the same as the reset in the settings menu? Is it that you cant use those settings with a unlocked bootloader.
Are TWRP and CWN both apps you get for/through rooting in which you can restore back up etc? I have heard about CWN but havent really used it.
Would doing "fastboot -w" just do the same as reset from settings menu? Also I'm not sure what you mean by flash a new recovery image?
Also, I dont understand how to remove the boot loader unlocked screen. You have to start a command prompt and type in that with your phone in fastboot mode?
Is recovery
Sorry for being such stupid noob pleb :good:

I think I understand the problem. The first screen you come to says "Fastboot flash mode" or something like that and has a boot mode selection menu with "Recovery" as one option. This screen is the bootloader. When you are in the bootloader, you use the fastboot command on the computer to do things to the phone.
When you select and activate the "Recovery" option, you get a screen that says "No Command". This is actually the stock recovery. TWRP is TeamWin Recovery Project and CWM is Clockwork Mod. They're both roughly the same in terms to capabilities. Both have far more features than the stock recovery. You can use adb to communicate with your phone in recovery mode.
Here is a program that will help you install the recovery. USB debugging should be turned on on your phone, and you should be booted into the system. Also be sure that the proper USB drivers are installed on your computer.

Why you need relock bootloader ?
Use philz recovery based on last cwm. It's amazing.

Here is a thread about removing the warning screen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548530
In summary, you can either download "logo.zip" and install it from recovery, or you can download "original_logo.zip", extract "logo.bin" and use "fastboot flash logo logo.bin" when you are booted into the bootloader. I am assuming you do not have a "Google Play Edition" or "GPE". If you do, there is a different logo for you in that thread.
The bootloader can be relocked, but it will not change the warning screen. Locking the bootloader will only make it so you cannot flash custom recoveries and such. Can you explain what you hope to achieve by relocking the phone? Again, it can be done, but I want to make sure it is really what you want.

You can't go wrong with either TWRP or PhilZ. PhilZ is based on CWM. It has added features and touch capabilities. Because a recovery is so easy to switch, if you make your best guess for which you will like more, and if you are not happy with it, you can switch. I like both, and most users will find all the features they need in either one.

Nexus 5 stuck on google screen

I found my phone stuck on google screen. My phone is not rooted. I can get to fastboot mode, but when i select Recovery mode I go into google screen again. What do I need to do, is there a way to copy all my files from phone to pc so I dont lose them when I reset my phone.

Try to flash recovery(TWRP) from fastboot then flash any ROM.

Connect your phone to PC with USB
Type the following commands
Verify that the phone is recognized
Code:
fastboot devices
To Boot to TWRP
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
If you are in TWRP go to 1) wipe
2) Advanced Wipe
3) select dalvik cache & Cache
4) Wipe
5) Reboot
If that didnt work I would recommend to install it.
To Install TWRP
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To Reboot
Code:
fastboot reboot
Download TWRP from Here. Also any issues with ADB you will find help in the same thred

Honor 6 C [DIG-L21HN] How to root ?

Hi I've unlocked the bootloader of my phone but I can't find any recoveries to push through ADB, therefore I can't flash SU. Does someone have a solution ?
Allright, for the newcomers, I've found a solution for this : (it is very important that you don't update your rom if you've rooted your phone, unless you want a 150$ brick I guess !)
Don't forget to install adb before anything
1. Enable USB debugging in developers option.
2. Connect your phone to a computer and then launch cmd. Type «adb reboot fasboot».
3. Once in fastboot mode we will flash TWRP by typing this : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img».
4. Unplug and reboot your device, on the nag screen keep pressing the up volume button to enter recovery. If it doesn't work then choose shutdown and hit all three buttons while it's booting.
5. Once you are in TWRP, backup everything to extsdcard.
6. Go to wipe and format /data and wipe it under advanced wipe. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER PARTITION !!! ONLY DATA.
7. Once it's done reboot the device. You should have a message telling you that the encryption failed, click reset phone.
8. It should launch TWRP choose reboot to bootloader.
9. Once in fastboot mode type this : «fastboot flash recovery 2ndreco.img» then type : «fastboot reboot».
10. Your phone should now display : «Factory reset low level» when you click reset phone. Once it's done it will automatically reboot but don't let it finish his boot sequence yet. On the nag screen keep pressing the up volume to enter recovery and then choose shutdown.
11. Boot in fastboot mode again and type : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img», then : «fastboot reboot».
Hold the vol.up button while on nag screen to enter TWRP.
If you don't enter TWRP after you typed fastboot reboot and hit the vol.up button but you enter erecovery that's ok, in this case what you need to do is to choose shutdown. Then hold vol.up, vol.down and power buttons to enter TWRP ! Go to install and flash magiskv13.3.zip and voilà your phone is now rooted !
I've not tried but I think you could restore the data partition with TWRP once you've done all those steps but I can't guarantee you anything so this is why I've told you to backup your data.
1streco.img file link here
2ndreco.img file link here
Magisk v13.3 link here

Si I've been able to install twrp but when I try to flash SuperSu.zip it doesn't work. It's crazy !

For those who wants to know, I've tried everything and the only way to go is to format and wipe data in order to disable dm-verity. But if you do that you won't be able to go further because the rom asks you to crypt your datas before continuing....

Hi guys ! Sorry for the wait but here it is, my tutorial to the graal, root on this device :
1. Enable USB debugging in developers option.

3. Once in fastboot mode we will flash TWRP by typing this : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img».

7. Once it's done reboot the device. You should have a message telling you that the encryption failed, click reset phone.
8. It should launch TWRP choose reboot to bootloader.

11. Boot in fastboot mode again and type : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img», then : «fastboot reboot».

Then hold vol.up, vol.down and power buttons to enter TWRP ! Go to install and flash magiskv13.3.zip and voilà your phone is now rooted !

Can you tell us a little more about these two files? Where have you found them? (Not wanting to sound too paranoid but you know...)

I've found 1streco.img on a Chinese board. It's the work of a guy who managed to make TWRP available to us, users of honor 6c. The second one is the standard recovery image of Honor 6c. Those files are good, don't worry. Once your phone is rooted and everything works good, you can of course update magisk through TWRP to the lastest version.

OK, I have been trying around now for an hour or so... I have one real problem and one possible problem:
1. (the real one) Using Win7 64 bit, each time I send the the phone into fastboot mode, the system tries to install "MTP USB device" drivers... without any success so far. That's why the phone boots normally again. I haven't been able to solve that so far (installed HiSuite for example, didn't help).
2. (the possible one) Should the bootloader be unlocked? If yes, I have to admit I haven't found a way to do that so far. :-/

Of course the bootloader must be unlocked before doing anything, you can request a code here on Huawei website : http://en.ui.vmall.com/plugin.php?id=unlock

bravo there is machine back or full backup with recovery

Did you manage to root your phone ?

beautiful, can you install a module on magisk? if yes how because when installing the modules I get a failure when editing magisk.img thanks ?

No, you can't because of dm-verity, you.can manually install via recovery tho.

For the Russian version 6s failed to implant. ADB reboot fastboot this command does not put the phone in fastboot mode.

Tough one! Try this. It will wipe your data partition, though.
If it will let you, power down the tablet for about 10mins. Then boot into TWRP. Go to "Wipe" and swipe for Data/Factory Reset. Reboot.
If the M10 still won't boot, in TWRP re-format Data (by typing 'yes' under Wipe->Format Data), and wipe cache and Dalvik Cache. I think dalvik is under Wipe->Advanced. Factory reset again. Reboot.
As an absolute last resort, you might try fixing permissions in TWRP under "Advanced". But I don't think that's going to do much, because you haven't booted the ROM successfully yet.
Hope one of these works for you. Let us know what worked for you. If nothing works, PM me and we'll try some other things.

I followed the instructions but on the last step of rebooting to system the device restarts, shows the Lenovo logo then it goes to a black / blanks screen. It appears to have shut down. I must hold the power button for several seconds before it wakes up (or restarts?) and does this all over again -- shows the Lenovo logo then black screen.
For the record the device was already rooted with Magisk. I was just trying to do a TWRP backup but found /data mounting errors so tried following steps 6 & 7. At the moment the device refuses to boot up. I am unable to get back into Recovery Mode. The ONLY thing i can do is get into FASTBOOT mode and issue commands from CLI.
The following hardware key combos produce the same results -- tablet turns on to show the Lenovo logo, after a few seconds the screen goes black (the device appears to have turned off):
x Power key
x Power Key + Volume Down
x Power Key + Volume Up
x Power Key + Volume Up + Volume Down
** Release of keys is done once Lenovo logo appears
Any ideas?
UPDATE
I went ahead and performed: fastboot flash boot boot.img << the boot.img was the earlier patched magisk image i used to get the rooted working tablet.
After performing the above the tablet turned on and is now showing the Lenovo logo however it does nothing else --- it remains on the logo forever. I am able to get into TWRP recovery. I went ahead and wiped Dalvik, Cache, and Data. Rebooted to System but still it is stuck on the Lenovo Logo.
The device if fully charged.

You could try recovering the tablet with LMSA. See this post. You'll lose all your existing data and setup on the tablet, though.
Not sure what went wrong for you. Do you have a TB-X605F with Snapdragon 450 SOC? The existing TWRP is only for the SDA450. I'm working on one for the M10s with SDA429.

Thanks for the response. Yes mine has the Snapdragon 450. I will investigate the LMSA. Been messing around all day but made no progress -- not even QPST is working out.
