Cannot install TWRP over Huawei eRecovery??

I am unable to install TWRP over the huawei eRecovery.
>I first unlocked the bootloader by using fastboot OEM command
>then installed TWRP. Tried all the versions that i found for mate 8. I get a message "OKAY"
> Then I get a message saying that I have to press the up vol button to go to recovery. And when I try to go to the recovery window I see Huwaei's recovery and not TWRP. I cant use TWRP manager for this as it will not work until I have rooted my phone. SuperSu through playstore does not work. How will I proceed with rooting and installing TWRP. I am stuck !!
Is there any application like ODIN for huawei? That always worked, no matter what went wrong. Please help!!!!!!
I guess I am using the international version

ure going about this all wrong mate
as already explained in the other thread, u cant enter twrp that way. if u press power up in the start screen ull always end up in the erecovery, no matter which regular recovery u have flashed.
easiest way to enter regular recovery is to install flashify from the playstore and choose to reboot phone into recovery

When the phone is off, hold on the volume + & power button at the same time. When the screen flashes on, quickly remove your fingers from the said key presses and it should boot into twrp. If you hold them too long it will boot into erecovery. If you want to reboot into twrp recovery when the phone is already on, then you will have to get an app like quick reboot or flash a Rom which has that option.

This.
Power plus volume down does nothing, TWRP-wise. However that is whta's being said to press in 99% of the threads/tutorials.
Took me HOURS and countless re-flashing of TWRP to figure this out myself. (the up *plus* down thingy). Really annoying.

Well, I have a question. What is the eRecovery, because I've seen this screen also and I dont know what it does. Also, there are three options in it: download latest version and recovery, reboot and shutdown. So if I press download latest version and recovery what will happen? Because I'm actually looking for a way to get off TWRP without having to lose any data (I want to install the latest OTA, but I've seen that TWRP doesn't support well those, and I don't want to mess up my phone)...
Please help!

easy: download a stock rom identical to your current version, extract recovery partition using the huawei app extractor from the rom's update.app file and then flash that through fastboot
and since u probably have no idea what im talking about, i suggest u use google and xda search functions before asking any further questions here dont be lazy and expect everyone to work for you and serve everything on a silver platter, do your due diligence!

Hi, simply press Volume up an down at same time when device is powering up...and hold it, until Twrp logo is on the screen. Works always for me.

Guys, volume-up+power goes to recovery
Volume-down+power goes to fastboot or bootloader

And just for the complete list:
Volume up + power AND USB plugged in goes into eRecovery (or TWRP, if you flashed TWRP to RECOVERY2 instead to RECOVERY)
Volume up and down + power and USB plugged in forces update via USB (indicated by a little USB-like icon in the recovery circle. The progess bar goes to 5% and waits for input from your PC)

True, when usb is attached

I can attest to this, i flashed twrp many times thinking it was not working beacause i am used to the mate 7 holding volume up + power long enough boots into recovery (twrp) but this won't work on mate 8

i would while booting the device keep pressing the power button to force shutdown the device. immediately after turning off, press and hold both power button and vol - keys for 10sec or more and release. this will get you into the bootloader screen. on that keep pressing vol - to select 'recovery' and press vol + to go into the recovery. good luck

that leaves you only with one option. get into the bootloader screen, and flash the latest stock ROM using fastboot commands. then try flashing custom recovery, custom ROM from the beginning. i would skip flashing bootloader though.

Phone stuck at Boot screen after installing TWRP recovery 3.2.1-berlin

I have BLN-L22 device. I installed TWRP recovery 3.1.1- berlin and it installed correctly. Then I found the latest version 3.2.1-berlin on official TWRP app. So I flashed that one and rebooted to recovery. Since then the phone is stuck at the bootscreen which shows 'Phone is unlocked, booting' message.
I can't connect to PC and how can I recover to original?

Official TWRP app (and relative site obviously) leads to a non working build of TWRP, i stumbled upon the same scene too while flashing official 3.1.0 version took by their site... Don't know why. Modded versions of TWRP made by OpenKirin team and HassanMirza01 works correctly instead. Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-honor-6x-hassanmirza01-t3733201 you'll find a working 3.2.1-0 version, i tested it by myself.
Now, to get rid of this and flash a working TWRP, you have to boot to fastboot mode with manual method, so begin with completely shut off the phone by keeping held power button for 10+ seconds.
Then, connect the phone to PC with the USB cable, and boot it up by keeping pressed power button and held down volume - immediately as you hear the vibration. From fastboot, you'll be able to flash back the working TWRP.

Problem Solved

Hi Thank you so much. The phone was restarting continuously after holding the power button. So I tried by pressing the power and volume down button which took me to fastboot.
Then I could install the compatible version of TWRP successfully.:good:

You can successfully flash even non compatible images. the problem only arises when you boot them. Simply, they won't be able to boot because they're incompatible.
first, get into fastboot, flash compatible recovery(they are different for emui 5 and 8, so check before you flash). Then boot to recovery by pressing and holding power and volume up button at once from the fastboot mode itself.
Update me with the result. I'll tell you what to do next based on whether the flash works or not.

[Solved]Not able to boot into recovery.

Device- Xiaomi Redmi 4x(Santoni)
ROM- Havoc OS
Custom Recovery- Red Wolf (Unofficial Version)
I'm having trouble booting into custom recovery. I have already flashed custom recovery, disabled stock recovery replace. Power button+volumed down button boots me into stock recovery. But if booted into recovery from advanced reboot then I can perfectly custom recovery. How can I make my device boot into custom recovery by just pressing power button+volume down button?!
Please help.
Thanks.

It would help if you posted which device you have, we can't give you an accurate or definitive answer if we don't know what device model number you have.
On most devices, typically, it is volume up+power to boot into recovery.
Volume down+power typically boots into bootloader mode, download mode or some other type of flashing mode intended for flashing stock firmware on the device.

Press volume UP+power, when you see the Mi logo, release the power button but continue holding the volume up button, do not release volume up when you release the power button.

If it didn't work, you probably have some kind of issue because the instructions I gave you are correct for your device.

I figured it out. Tried volume up+volume down+power button and booted successfully into custom recovery. Didn't know about this. Thanks for your help, mate.

Strange, that combination is usually used to boot some devices into safe mode.
But, at least you figured it out.

Phone keeps booting into recovery + stuck at splash screen

I went into TWRP which keeps freezing on splash screen ( twrp worked fine before flashing custom rom) and now when i try reboot or enter fastboot mode it keeps booting into recovery, this happened after going into recovery through the recovery option when holding power button on CrDroid, earlier i would go into recovery with power button and volume button combination which didn't bootloop (TWRP would still freeze on splash screen). How do i fix this?
