Hi guys,
I would really appreciate any help getting out of this pickle (my first time trying to install a ROM).
Here's the situation:
- Running a Huawei P6-C00 Chinese phone
- Was interested in trying a custom ROM (e.g. CleanRom by @surdu_petru) in order to enable Google Apps
- Updated normally to B120 CN as instructed
- Rooted (using Root Wizard)
- Installed customer recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3)
- Started flash process including advanced wipe in TWRP... wiped system, cache, davlik, etc... :crying:
- Realized that I didn't have the ROM .zip copied to the phone yet
Currently, I'm able to boot into TWRP but cannot connect using adb for sideload (TWRP just says starting sideload but never connects). What do you guys recommend? I don't have a backup of any working ROM or the stock image.
Is there a way to initiate a "standard" restore since I wiped all the caches? ...
Are there some tricks to getting ADB running so I can try to sideload the ROM again? ...
P6-C00 does not have an SD card, but is it possible to load the ROM onto a USB and read it from TWRP?
Thanks for any help!
Did u try connecting to adb?

Hi Taaeem,
Thanks for the hint. I read some posts on fastboot and tried the following, but could not get into fastboot mode.
Methods I tried
- Power off phone and then power on while holding vol-down button
- Select Reboot -> System option from TWRP, while holding volume down
- Select Reboot -> Bootloader option from TWRP
From what I understand, fastboot mode should be run from the /boot partition, which I didn't wipe. So any ideas how I can get into fastboot mode?
Thanks again!
Okay, I confirmed that I have at least some kind of fastboot access because I tried "fastboot reboot-bootloader" from command prompt on my PC, and it rebooted the phone (but the phone stayed on boot logo).
- Next time I get fastboot, should I run "fastboot flash [partition] [ROM-file.zip]"?
- If so, what partition should I specify? I'm confused about where this command will send the ROM file, and if so how do I find it from TWRP later on in order to install it?
Thank you!
One more update:
- Even though I'm stuck at boot logo when I try to enter fastboot mode, it looks like there is a somewhat working fastboot connection. I tried running "fastboot flash [partition] ROM.zip" but it fails after 16s ("remote: flash write failure" or "remote: partition does not exist"). I tried flashing to cache / data / system
Should I try @N!ELS huawei p6 suggestion of accessing by Linux? (I don't have one nearby) or am I using fastboot wrong?
Thanks!!
Also:
- I noticed that when I boot into TWRP the device shows as "..." in my system tray USB devices list.
- When I try to boot into fastboot mode, the device shows as "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface" (but phone is still stuck on boot logo)
- However I'm still not able to connect using ADB .. shows "error: device not found" in all cases)
- Finally, after powering off the phone does show the stock charging animation, which gives me hope that this can still be saved :crying:

fastboot mode on the P6 doesn't have any kind of ui for fastboot, so it stays on the boot logo, fastboot should work fine.
You could always find an USB OTG cable and connect a FAT32 partitioned mem stick with the .zip on it, TWRP allows flashing from USB memory as far as I know
You are definetely not out of hope, but im not sure about the compability of P6-U06 roms with the C00 variant.

Obviously you can't flash the whole zip file to every partition, infact you can't flash a .zip at all, atleast not in fastboot mode, .img extension is used. So don't try flashing the rom manually via fastboot, since you have a high risk of actually bricking the device, if not in the right hands.
Also when booted into TWRP, try "adb devices" in the cmd see if anything shows up.

Okay that's good when you are stuck at the logo and you can see your device at your PC you are in fastboot mode, from here you can work with fastboot commands NOT with ADB that will not work. Anyway isn't there a option in TWRP where you can mount your device to USB when that work you can just copy the files on your phone without to go with fastboot. When that don't work you must try to extract the .zip from the ROM you want to install and flash every image with fastboot I think that should work.

Okay so now I'm a bit paranoid about hard-bricking the device, and would rather not try my luck on a ROM that isn't approved for the P6-C00, haha...
At this point I just want to get a working OS installed (restore to the default for P6-C00 phone, even), and then maybe try to safely enable Google Apps. Any suggestions on how I can get this restored?
- I think the device came with a USB cable that is OTG.
- Seems like fastboot is also working, even though "fastboot getvar xxx" returns nothing useful
- ADB does not work while booted into TWRP (can't run shell, sideload, or list devices)

Download this rom for example https://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=bhDlIAc5AqKh4RAB2IdatPdEfYVI9FH/Zky/UTGcH3M=
Extract the .z7 and run the flash_all.bat, this scripts flashes the rom via fastboot and you should get your device back up and running again. And from there you can update to a newer firmware version without problems.
If the bat doesn't work try this:
boot to fastboot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Wipe cache and dalvik cache in twrp

Thanks, tauio111! That worked and I now have a working phone again :victory:
I'm going to be a bit more careful about how to enable Google Apps... this is too much stress during the workweek haha.
Later on what do you think my best option would be?
- Wait for a confirmed easy to install ROM for P6-C00 that supports Google Apps
- Some other way to enable Google Apps with the standard firmware, since I am rooted?
Thanks :laugh:

Heya Tauio111, I'm having the same problem as onetree and I've been frying my mind over this for the past 4 days before I came across your solution. I found that your link is no longer working, may I ask what that ROM is and where else I may find it? Thanks!

A way that may help (i've done it with boot&recovery images). Using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 , might give you the *.img files necesary for flashing the stock rom through fast boot. All you need is to follow the instructions on the tool and have a stock rom (update.app file type), and some knowledge on how to use the fastboot.
Hi Guys,
I kinda did the same thing here.
I accidently wiped my system with TWRP v2.6.3.7
I also have a huawei ascend p6 u06
I didn't realize i never copied a rom to my device so i don't know how to install.
I can't seem to be able to use adb or fastboot and my device is not picked up by windows (8.1), it just says removable disk in my computer.
and under device manager it says P6-U06 under unknown devices.
I have tried to install a bunch of different drivers to attempt something but no luck.
Please help me.
I wasn't able to adb sideload from recovery though I could when the phone was on. so i tried clearing cache from stock recovery and it got interrupted. Now when i start the phone, boot loops and i can't even enter recovery. Any help please!
Update
Now I can enter recovery after long charging and I could wipe cache. I can boot normally.
Problem now is that adb devices command can actually detect the phone when it's booted and functioning; but the adb devices command can't detect the device when in fastboot or after entering recovery! Can anyone provide solution to this?

Where are you getting your adb/fastboot toolkit? If using the ones your Linux distro (Debian, Ubuntu, etc) provided, then consider them out of date. I had the same problem with fastboot recognizing my phone...once I downloaded fresh ones from Google's SDK, I was back in business!
Am on windows and i had fastboot_adb(1.0.32) already installed.
Update
I could update by flashing through Kernel Adiutor app (needs root permission & Busybox). Root lost when flashed complete firmware and root remained when flashed just the update file.zip.
what i did was-
I put zip file (completely downloaded firmware from ASUS website-also tried OTA downloaded and updated the phone) on MicroSD card, renamed the file MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. This flashed through Kernel Adiutor app- recovery- cwm-flash.
Re-reooted the phone with 1 click method (method #3) when flashed the complete rom. If you just flash the update zip root remained.
All working fine for now.
PS: I use Z008 2gb model.
1 week ago i bought in china the watch .i dont know Chinese and i was just there for business so i thought that when i will connect to my phone it will automatically change to English but that never happend . So i tried several threads in xda to understand how it is working and what can i do . And i followed the thread that says to flash another system img recovery and boot . So i first unlocked the bootloader and booted on it and i flash the images and tried to reboot to recovery but already the recovey option in the bootloader is missing i get only shutdown , reboot , reboot bootloader , so i thought that i haven't correct flash the recovery.img so i flash it again but still the same . I also tried twrp recoveries and other recoveries that i found in other threads but still the same i can only boot to bootloader and nothing else . Has any one had the same problem and fixed it ? And if not were can i find the stock chinese firmware to try to flash it maybe it will come back to life .. thanks in advance
Have you tried using adb and fastboot commands?
Ex::
adb reboot-bootloader (for bootloader)
adb push xxxxxxx.img or xxxxxxx.zip /sdcard/ (for transfer files to sdcard)
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/ (for transfer yours custom recovery - i recommend the latest 3.1.1.0 because the others have some bugs)
after that boot to recovery: fastboot boot recovery.img (personally i never tried to flash the recovery but just boot it, baut it works)
from recovery just install the files that you have transferred earlier to sdcard (oh, and prior that erase everything except internal memory, or that toot but you have to transfer your files again)
ex: install zip (i recommend negalite) after that install kernel (negalite too) and install performance or battery booster .
Oh, after kernel install, it will automatically reboot, so you have to repeat the process to install the booster.
Reboot.
p.s. - the reboot process take LOOONG, so wait patiently.
Hope i could help you.

If you want to enter the bootloader, to choose, where u want to reboot and you are stuck:
Hold the button on your watch...hold it, till you feel the first vibration after the restart at the HUAWEI-Logo. Then, press the button once again (Its just timing).
It should show you your bootloader and you can restart into recovery or wherever you want.
Hope I could help :highfive:
Hi guys,
I've just updated to newest OOS firmware wich is 5.1.2 and I'm facing a weird problem.
Every time I flash codeworks TWRP and reboot to system, the next time i try to boot to recovery it boots to the original recovery.
It's like when I flash TWRP it doesn't remain persistent. When i flash it through fastboot and straightly boot from fastboot to recoverry I succeed to get in TWRP but as soon as I reboot to system and try to boot to recovery I reach the original OnePlus recovery.
Is anyone facing the same problem ?
And also do you have any idea about what i could do to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !
If you don't have root or custom kernel its normal, plus you should use blu spark's twrp, its newer and more reliable.

Indeed, I just needed to flash magisk to get it persistent. I'll try blu spark's one as you suggested.
Thank you very much for your answer !

Nothing to do with recoveries or kernel. After you do the fastboot flash recovery TWRP in fastboot, do this: "fastboot boot TWRP". I believe that's the right command. Basically after you flash it, manually boot to recovery through fastboot one time. After that it'll work from inside the phone or with the button combination with the phone off.
Jesus people are lazy these days.
First off there are official twrp versions for a reason!
Download the latest version: https://dl.twrp.me/dumpling/
Reboot into flash boot with the following command from your rom: adb reboot bootloader
With phone in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery 'twrp.img'
(You don't need to type out the entire file path you can just drag the file into the terminal and it'll insert the file location)
The reason you're not getting back into that recovery is because you're not booting into the recovery before you reboot into your ROM.
There is an option to boot straight into the recovery from the fastboot mode

Actually not that lazy because I used to do what you mentionned.
The thing is that a flash of Magik is needed to patch twrp. That's the step I forgot in the procedure and explained here.
So before being unpleasant, please know what you're talking about...

Hi, yesterday I was flashing a rom with flash tool. It finished, reboot but it didn't start anymore. No fastboot nor recovery. Seems to be dead.
Is there a way to start it?
Thanks,
Andrés
Does this help?
Please report back.
Hi! thanks, it worked. Now I'm having a different issue with TWRP.
I install TWRP via fastboot, but i can't access the data inside the phone nor do the wipes. It shows errors.
When I boot the TWRP i don't enter any password or something like that.
Any ideas? It is a TWRP issue?
Thanks

Glad to hear your device is back from the dead.
Are all TWRP functions available? And all info gibberish?
Before installing TWRP, you can also see if it works without installing it by just booting it.
Code:
fastboot [B]boot[/B] recovery TWRP.img
See if folders are readable now, then extract data. Try different TWRP's. There are a few for Mi Max 3. Keep trying, TWRP does have some rare and occasional hiccups with password and decrypting. Also for me. Just reboot and try again until it works. Try to boot Orange Fox in recovery if needed.
Second, if nothing works, you may try and download the ROM you used before updating. Extract boot.img, recovery.img and system.img from old ROM and flash with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This will restore the 3 .img's. Boot into recovery and see if you can pull data.
Let me kow if it helps because maybe otherwise you have to worry about flashing full ROM and lose data.
Addendum: if you run into trouble when flashing you can use Xiaomi ADB/ Fastboot Tools. Install Java first though. Also, please be aware of Xiaomi's ARB feature.
