Hi, I hope you can help me.
I was charging my phone, but when I wanted to turn it on, it gets stuck on the huawei screen. So I try to enter to the recovery, I have installed Open TWRP 2.8, but nothing, it gets stuck too, on the TWRP logo. So I decided to flash a stock recovery, I put the phone in fastboot mode, try to flash the recovery and apparently it worked all right but when I try to enter to the recovery, returns to TWRP, and no matter what recovery and how many times I flash returns to TWRP. It's like the phone is in read-only mode because don't flash.
Something else, when is stuck on the TWRP logo, I can use ADB commands and shell.
Any idea to recover my phone? now I'm desperate....
Thank you very much in advance.
P.D. sorry for my bad English....

can you enter into twrp menu?

No, it stays in the splash screen, but I can enter to ADB.
then try to type cmd: adb reboot bootloader (press enter) then : fastboot flash recovery (name of your twrp. img) (enter) then: adb reboot recovery (enter)

but first of all, type: adb devices (enter), to see if your phone is recognized

I try that before (with stock recovery and with another/same version of twrp), but don't flash the recovery, it seems that it does all right but always return to TWRP.
When the phone it's in booloader mode, the "devices" command show ??????6? but in adb show the correct number.
very strange...

The output that you get in fastboot is ok that means that you can operate with fastboot commands, now the thing is that you try to flash something successfully. For that i would recommend you to use the update extractor from the forum and get .img files from an update and then try to flash them in fastboot.
This is a little tutorial for you to get through fastboot commands, where i would suggest you to wipe all before flashing. And most important thing is to not reboot until you flashed all.

Thanks, but the phone no flash, I try to many times but nothing. Even I try with adb to push files but if I reboot the phone, the files are not saved, so I think is something with the internal memory. It's a shame but I'll have to buy another one.
maybe after factory reset your bootloader is somehow in locked state ...

i tried to root my phone (unsuccessfully) and now i cant even factory reset it. if i try it loads onto the recovery screen where the touch screen is unresponsive (my reason for not completing the root, as well as not detecting my phone for twrp flashing). is my phone now "bricked" on stock? UNROOTABLE
I presume your bootloader is unlocked? Are you able to boot into your ROM or not?
If you want to just bring your phone back up and running, you will need to run a RUU or restore a nandroid backup:
So post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

thanks again vin4yak..my phone works perfectly as htc wants it to .. ive unlocked bootloader.. pushed super su.zip.. reboot into bootloader.
cannot push twrp as it says device not found. if i go into recovery the touch screen is unresponsive.. could this be due to missing this step or should it be working?

The latest TWRP doesn't work on bases greater than 3.14... So I recommend flashing CWM and then proceeding with the rooting process!

Didn't get you??! What are you trying to say?
To flash a new recovery you have to put the recovery img file in your fastboot folder and then flash it via opening cmd in fastboot folder and phone in fastboot mode... and then :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

This is for the people [myself earlier] who cannot boot into Android (bootloop or worse), have no download mode, no recovery and can only boot into Fastboot. Download the file below, I have included fastboot (for windows) and the appropriate files to flash, all you have to do is run the commands in order below, then boot into download mode.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
It is best to use the CMD.exe file in the folder provided so you will already be running the commands from that folder without having to change directories. If you're on Linux then make sure you have Fastboot installed then run Terminal from the folder and run the same commands. This will restore the STOCK download mode and recovery partitions not TWRP or CWM.

How would one go about repairing a broken download mode when all I can do is boot into a broken recovery? I cannot issue any fastboot commands as the device is only recognized as an ADB Bridge device. Are there ADB equivalent commands to accomplish the same things as you have detailed here?

well you should never install any OTA with a custom recovery install. you should always keep at least one backup on your phone to restore to in these events. but i would try downloading a rom and installing via sideload before nuking any partitions. which is easy with TWRP. the sideload menu should be in Advanced then ADB Sideload and the command is adb sideload filename.zip and it will take awhile depending on the file size. make sure the file name is simple and it is placed in the folder you are running the sideload from.

Yes yes I know... it was a moment of weakness late at night and I didn't think before telling the girl to go ahead and upgrade. That being said... Part of the problem now is that the one backup she made just up and disappeared. The ADB sideload option just hangs and never actually does anything. The original Stock Rooted file I had still on the sd partition doesn't fix the issue when I flash it... it looks like it flashes ok but on the next boot it just drops me back into TWRP right where I began. And download mode is still borked.
So let's talk thermonuclear resolution on this motherlover.... where do I begin?

i would try to rename your rom to something simple, like rom.zip. there cannot be any spaces in the name and it does need to be in the same folder you run the command from like you seem to be doing.

did you try vol+ and power together? When a functioning rom is installed it asks to do a factory reset but it may get into fastboot if you nuked that partition. i haven't tried this yet but if you're in adb sideload in twrp maybe the command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
might help

I'm screwed. I gave this a try and now all I get is a black screen. The phone will connect to my computer but I can't send any commands to it through the command prompt. When it connects to the computer it opens a bunch of different drives and says I need to format them. I can't get into download mode and when I try to send a command in the prompt it just says waiting for device. Any ideas?
Edit: It shows up in device manager like this: http://i.imgur.com/NXGxpcX.png

Go to Oneplus website and download oxygen os version 3.2.4 OTA and flash that via adb sideload , also as a sidenote use your PC to boot into fastboot mode and try flashing the firmware that way if the first method doesn't work....

How can i flash into fastboot mode? what have i to tipe?
Plug phone into PC and type - adb reboot bootloader , this should enter fastboot mode then use the adb commands to flash the firmware which should be adb sideload oxygenos.zip just obviously rename the OTA zip file to oxygenos before running the command... Hope this helps buddy.
What were you doing actually? And is your bootloader unlocked?

Hi, if you hold down volume up and power button for at least 20 seconds and release, make sure you have downloaded universal adb drivers and op3 drivers also, when you have these run the tool, the tool I originally downloaded was corrupt, the unbrick tool must have the system.img, recovery img etc.... For it to work, you will know when it's connect as one line in the programme will change. I can send you the files needed if you send me your email address.

So I got my bootloader unlocked so obviously fastboot drivers are working, I have the SU zip copied to my internal storage and the IMG file in my Minimal Fastboot folder location....
When I run :
fastboot boot "path to IMG".img
My command prompt just says "waiting for devices" and does nothing?
Do I run this command from while in bootloader mode? Power + Vol down ? When I have it plugged into my PC in this mode and I run "adb devices" it does't find my device? Does that mean I don't have the right drivers installed?
What am I missing here? Damn this phone is complicated.

You want fastboot boot twrp.img
Then you want to install TWRP rc1 from your internal storage from TWRP. Then you want to boot to system once then boot to recovery and install su2.79 sr3 from your internal storage
You want to be in bootloader mode/fastboot for the first step

If you already have TWRP rc1 installed then you just want to boot to recovery and install su2.79sr3
In fastboot type in fastboot devices and if it comes back with your device number your good to go

I know the command I want, I'm asking where I run it from? Do i run it while my phone is in Android connected to my PC or do I run the command from fastboot while my phone is in the bootloader mode??? When I have my phone connected normally and run an "adb devices" it doesn't find my phone but obviously it recognizes my phone otherwise it wouldn't have been able to copy dePixel8 and unlock my bootloader.
My question is *where* do I run that command. As I said before, if I run it while my phone is powered up normally and connected to my PC it just says "waiting for devices". If I power my phone up into bootloader mode (power + vol up) my fastboot doesn't see my phone????

I guess what I am saying is how the heck do I boot into the TWRP IMG ? My bootloader is definitely unlocked, I have SU on my internal storage, I have the IMG in my minimal fastboot folder. I just need to know how the heck to boot into "recovery mode" using the :
fastboot boot "path to".img
If I run that command while my phone is connected normally with USB debugging enabled it just says "waiting for devices"
Am I missing something here...?

First off get rid of minimal. That is not your current problem, but you will have problems later. It is old, it doesn't know about our partitions or handle their larger size. Get googles

Put the TWRP img in the same folder, skip the path

My question is *where* do I run that command. As I said before, if I run it while my phone is powered up normally and connected to my PC it just says "waiting for devices". If I power my phone up into bootloader mode (power + vol up) my fastboot doesn't see my phone????

Run the command with your phone in bootloader mode and your computer in fastboot[/QUOTE]
You need to follow the steps I gave you. You need su2.79 , and rc1 on your internal storage. Then you need TWRP rc1 boot image on your computer. Put it in your platform tools folder or wherever you got your other firmware. Put phone in bootloader mode, then open a command window where you have TWRP boot image saved , type in fastboot devices, to make sure computer is seeing the phone, then the command should be fastboot boot TWRP.img, then install rc1 off your phone storage, then boot to system once, then boot back to recovery and install su 2.79 sr3

You want fastboot boot twrp.img
Then you want to install TWRP rc1 from your internal storage from TWRP. Then you want to boot to system once then boot to recovery and install su2.79 sr3 from your internal storage
You want to be in bootloader mode/fastboot for the first step

If you already have TWRP rc1 installed then you just want to boot to recovery and install su2.79sr3
In fastboot type in fastboot devices and if it comes back with your device number your good to go

OK I figured it out, while the phone is booted into Android you have to actually issue the command to reboot it into the bootloader mode otherwise it won't detect the phone (at least it wouldn't on my PC)
I ran this command from my minimal fastboot folder (shift + right click -> open command prompt)
I then typed this:
adb reboot bootloader
Then once it is rebooted into bootloader mode issue the
fastboot boot .img command
It then rebooted into TWRP, and I was able to flash the SU zip

First off get rid of minimal. That is not your current problem, but you will have problems later. It is old, it doesn't know about our partitions or handle their larger size. Get googles

Thanks man, I figure other people might run into these problems so I might as well post about them. If I booted directly into the bootloader my PC wouldn't recognize the phone, if I issued the command to reboot it would. Weird...but whatever, I'm unlocked and rooted....
THANK YOU!
Hi - I was on the stable China rom for a few months and I decided to update TWRP and flash a custom ROM this morning. After updating TWRP I went into recovery to backup the current ROM but it gave me a bunch of errors saying the filesystem couldn't be mounted.
I repaired the filesystems and converted them to ext4 since I didn't plan on going back to stock / China ROM.
My phone is unable to boot up anymore since then and I cant flash the Stock India or China ROMS either.
Ive got all the right drivers installed, Device Manager shows the correct ShenQi device, ADB still wont recognize it, but does in TWRP sideload mode.
The phone boots up in fastboot mode only now.
MiFlash tool isn't helping either - it returns a failure message saying "can not found file flash_all.bat".
I'm not too sure what to do from here - any assistance greatly appreciated.
That message occurs when you are connected through fastboot! To flash stock using MiFlash phone must be in EDL mode.
You can use fastboot oem reboot-edl to boot into EDL via Fastboot. Or via ADB adb reboot edl through TWRP.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice. I'll give that a try as well. I've sort of gotten around the issue now by sideloading AEX rom, so the phone is at least usable now.

There are 3 ways you can reboot to edl mode via TWRP:
1. Boot into TWRP -> Connect phone to Computer -> Goto adb directory-> Enter 'adb reboot edl' in cmd/terminal
2. TWRP -> Advanced -> Terminal -> reboot edl
3.TWRP -> Reboot -> Download

I can't do that. Fastboot is just waiting for devices. the only program i can get to see the phone is MiFlash and it wont do anything without scripts that it seems nobody else has anything to say about. Im sure i used qfil before, but ive followed guides for about 8 hours today.

You are connected to MiFlash via Fastboot.. thats why its showing script error. If you have TWRP installed then boot to Download mode via it.
When you are connected via Download mode the device column in MiFlash will display a COM port instead of serial number.
