Stock recovery always fail - Huawei Ascend P7

Hi everyone,
I am looking for the way to start this phone directly on the fastboot mode as it is softbricked and it doesn't recognise anything (i can't go on recovery, no matter which one) after I flash a stupid update.app of 500 mb
I think I have to flash system.img boot.img and recovery.img
Thanks in advance, it don't go on the fastboot by himself like he did before, after i flashed twrp
Edit: Found, vol - & power while wired to the computer. Gonna see why i can't access even the stock recovery

Press and hold power and vol(-) buttons ... long time. Of course first remember to connecting device to PC by USB. [emoji14]
Hundreds times...it was described on this forum. [emoji26]

New question, I installed the B121 full stock, rom, kernel, everything like when i baught him first day, except of my unlocked BL.
Now, the stock recovery can't install ANY update.app it always write "FAIL" without getting any %, it just fail as it start. I can't find the way to resolve this.
And I got many questions,
Can the recovery of B121 install the B609 ROM?
Can the B609 install B121? I mean how is the retrocompatibility working with this device/recovery?
In a update.app you got many files, boot.img, system.img but also 3rdmodem.img hifi.img modem.img...
What are those files? Why am I not allowed to flash them? Why I could start my device without flashing every files? They aren't necessary? Or they are generated by the "base rom" constitued of boot/system/cust/recovery/userdata?
Also, do I need to be rooted or something to boot on twrp? I can't boot on any other recovery except from B121, even if i extract one from update.app 609...
Thanks in advance

How to flash images with fastboot?

My phone is almost bricked
I was trying to install sevenrov v3.2 while i was on v3.1 and i ****ed up everything while doing a fullwipe
Right now there is only fastboot&rescuemode available
twrp is not working, because it does no read the digitizer(i cannot press anything)
i can install cwm but should i ?
I believe that is best to flash images through fastboot.
But what images should i flash?
Where to find them?
How should i flash them?

Oh dear! You are in a mess. All I can suggest is that you flash the stock recovery and then install a stock ROM for your phone using the force update (dload) method that has been described in other threads. Then you can return to a custom ROM of your choice. As far as I know CWM for this phone is only in Chinese so it may be of little value unless you understand the language.

cwm has english also but it has no use for me
Only fastboot works
dload method does not complete, the blue progress bar goes up to to 85% and stays there forever...
I am looking for a mathod to create a flashable zip for fastboot
to use fastboot flash filename.zip command
or flash each partition seperatly , i tried the method with huawei extractor
extracted the images system,root,boot,cache,cust,userdata
flashed each one on their partitions
but without success

Why you do not flash twrp recovery in fastboot mode and then install a flashable ZIP?
Edit:
In this thread, are the same probs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56634210
Short: install recovery and try to flash a rom again.
I See your post in this thraed that this not work for you but i think you have to try it again. In fastboot mode you can flash recovery and cust. Its that working?
Can you explain step by step what are you doing?

First of all thank you,
Right now my phone is in a bootloop(not more than 6 sec duration, with short vibration)
3 buttons , power button tricks and combos don't seem to work
The only way to exit the bootloop is by sending the fastbbot reboot recovery command and wait for some loops while you are doing the vol+vol-power combo
Then the phone enters fastboot rescue mode
I get reply when sending the fastboot devices command,
And the phone has unlocked bootloader (OEM command)
I can flash images extracted from the official 135 ROM
I tried cust boot user data system cache recovey , and the are all flashed correctly
But I can't get into recovery mode aftethe reboot (yes I am doing the 3 buttons trick)
I tried different SD cards with different update.app each time, from b135 official and sevenrom3 (yes I put them in /dload folder)
I even tried flashing cwm and twrv recovery images in the recovery partition, but I got in a bootloop after the reboot again
So I am asking if there is anyway to flash the partitions correctly from fastboot or maybe send a kernel image with some offset and run it with the fastboot command
Of course adb does not work, not responding
Maybe reparation the storage?
I don't know
And I am desperare...

Okay...
your system is so messy. we must bring fully to factory condition first time.
Plesse try to flash stock recovery img. (In your post you write only that you have tryed twrp/cwm).
And then try update in recovery.
I not think your phone is broken. You can try my tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...eandadjust-t2941186/post56774286#post56774286). There is a stock recovery img in it. In your case you have to flash cust img to.

Thank you but I already did flash the official recovery image, both extracted from a factory update.app and your recovery.IMG also... None of them worked.... Iam still in the same bootloop.
I am starting to believe that the partitions have been ****ed up.
Any way to repartition?
Also is there a procedure to create a flashable zip with huawei software extractor? I edited the accompaning XML to add the p7 device on the list (copy data from p6 and changed the name) created the zip but fastboot doesn't flash the zip because its missing 2 XML files which I can't remember their name.
And at this point I would like to give my 2 cents of advice to everyone who might listen,
Before you flash anything from a microsd, first verify the card with h2testw, and always use high quality microsd and never ever stop a flashing procedure by any means. . i would like to make it more extreme and advise to use a software with copy verification (like richcopy) when you copy files that are going to be flashed.
I tend to believe that a faulty microsd is the cause of my problems... Even though I checked the microsd afterwards and didn't got any errors.
I would advise the ROM creators to append this on their posts!

brick ...

Hello, sorry advanced my English is not good I have a problem with my L-10 ... its brick .. I don't have access recovery and I have wiped the room . thanks you . (I am french).
Enter fastboot mode by holding "Volume down" & " Power" buttons while your cable is connected to the computer.
Make sure that the USB drivers for P7 L-10 are installed by installing HiSuite from official Huawei website.
Now download ADB and fastboot here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410
Now you'll need 2 more things - Official P7-L10 ROM & Huawei update extractor which you can download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3262545
Once you have all of those we can start the fun with the command line
Once you're in fastboot mode you'll have either green LOCKED screen or red UNLOCKED screen. You need to have a red screen in order to send commands to your phone from fastboot.
Open ADB & Fastboot and type "fastboot devices" (without quotes, always without quotes) - this will tell you if your device is properly detected, if it is, you'll see bunch of numbers and letters.
Now you'll need to extract a couple of .IMG files from your official ROM. This is how you do it. Your official ROM has 1 single file that's called UPDATE.APP. Open Huawei Update Extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it.
You should see a whole list with different .IMG files. You'll need to extract only a couple. BOOT.IMG - RECOVERY.IMG - CUST.IMG - SYSTEM.IMG
Now that you've extracted them all you'll need to start flashing them 1 by 1. This is how we do it
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
fastboot flash cust CUST.IMG
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG
You can drag and drop the IMG file into fastboot for your conveniance.
Now you need to place the actual ROM in the root of your SDcard.
On your SDcard make a folder called dload and put UPDATE.APP in it.
Now force update by turning off your phone and then power it back on while holding all 3 buttons pressed in. When screen comes on release Power button, but keep holding the other 2 buttons down.
Now your recovery should start wiping and installing the ROM and you should be saved
Let me know if you need more help

I flashed all the images you named, and after that I can't enter in recovery. Tried flashing twrp, still can't enter. Tried with power + vol+, nothing, tried with stock power + vol+vol-, still nothing. And access bootloader I can only with usb connected. Tried from another update.app, same result. Phone unlocked.

Just yesterday i bricked my phone too and i've spend 18 hours unbricking it, until i realised that the version of TWRP is directly related to the version of EMUI that's on your phone. As i was trying to install the old B126 with EMUI 2.3 i had to use TWRP 2.8.1.0. Once i installed it, i was able to enter into recovery and erase all data in orded to start over. Maybe you have the same problem.
EMUI 2.3 - TWRP 2.8.1.0
EMUI 3.0 - TWRP 2.8.7.0
EMUI 3.1 - TWRP 3.0.0.0
Try using TWRP that matches your EMUI version and let me know if it works for you

Well, somehow after posting I got working TWRP and got back to X-Rom, because for some reason, I can't install other custom ROM's, because of infinite bootloop. So I wanted to get back to stock firmware. So I tried all you steps and got bricked. For some reason, when I tried to install stock rom I got, "verifying install package" and after few seconds "FAIL". So I kinda stuck to one ROM

I see that X-Rom is based on B125. Did you try flashing .IMG files from the same ROM or did you use some other?

I finnaly did it, week ago. I downloaded stock rom (don't remember which, but recovery started working). Then I just "forced update" with latest full rom. and now I have B852. :fingers-crossed:
My main problem was that stock recovery would not work, but I managed somehow to get it done and after that point it was all nice and clean. Thanks for helping out!

You have 2 choices with this.
If you can still boot into TWRP,
1. Flash the Beta Update.zip
2. Power off phone.
3. Press up button whilst powering up phone.
4. You will now be in stock recovery and you can perform a factory reset.
5. the device will now boot in to N beta but will be missing the vendor apps.
There is another way to fix if this doesn't work. Tell me if this method works first.
Edit: I just read in the op that you flashed the update and had stock recovery.
The reason it won't boot is because you need to have b322 flashed and you have to factory reset to repair the corrupt file system. To do this follow these instructions.
1. You need to flash the Boot, Recovery and System images from b322 in fastboot.
2. Then enter stock recovery (Vol + and Power)
3. Then factory reset (this is essential as it repairs the file system and enables boot)
4. The device will then boot.
5. (Optional )If you want to go back from the beta you have to flash the rollback.app to b300 through th dload method first then you can flash a Android 6.0 through the dload method.

I seen you PM. I am not sure it will wok by flashing B182. I think you have to flash B322 first.
Regards
fist you have to flash stock recovery from emui 5(android N) through fastboot.
second , download the rollback package,extract it and put it on dload folder of external storage.
third, turn off the phone , and press vol up + vol down + power button together to enter forced update mode.
if it is successful system will boot and you should flash android M firmware using dload method then u should unlock bootloader,install twrp,wipe /system /cache /data and then flash update.zip(android N) and hw_data of your firmware one after another.
i hope this help you.
still phone is not booting
I redownload b322, extracted Boot.img System.img Recovery.img Recovery2.img and Cust.img with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 Update Extractor
Flashed all .img true fastboot
But still nothing
Stuck on bootloader screen "Your device is unlocked, and can't be trusted"
Maybe i need flash some more images from b322.
Its look like phone cant pass bootloader.
Any sugestions?
P.S. Phone still have warranty, but booloader is unlocked
and fastboot oem relock ************** ends with failed.
"Failed - root cant trusted"
Sugestions how to lock it?
I had my phone bricked from testing cm, and going back to stock. My solution was to flash dload and recovery from the 182, followed by dload flash of 182.
@richish
caution : these commands will format the partition
can u use these command ?
"fastboot format /system"
"fastboot format /data"
or "fastboot erase /system"=> this will erase system partition
Phone is live now.
I downloaded DC-Phoenix and bought 15 credits
flashed stock B182 via DC-phoenix and phone booted.
I recomand this apllication for everybody who have similar problems.
THX for everybody who helpped.

DC-Phoenix is not cheap but it also cured my phone after bricking it with flashfire where all other methods did not work.
if you use it follow the instructions carefully and do the 2 step flashing although it will work after the first one. if you don`t do the second flash the partition sizes are wrong and a dload update will fail.

Hi everyone
I would like to share the problem that i am having with my p9 , so maybe i can get your help.
Firstly i had L19C185 version and i changed Oeminfo in order to install c636 Beta 7.0 Nougat.
I installed the nougat but then realized that i dont have stock apps in my phone, so by mistakely tried to install TWRP for 6.0 Marshmallow and my problem started here.
Now my phone can not boot. its stuck in Phone is booting now ( the screen when you unlock bootloader after huawei logo) , and its never booting. it stays like that.
I tried to flash rboot.img , recovery.img and System.Img from fast boot. but whenever im trying to flash system.img after boot and recovery.img, a get an error and never succeeded to flash system.img. Im trying to flash these .img files from L19C636b180.
Can you please help me or give me some advice because none of mobile services couldnt fix and flash new software. maybe because they dont know exactly what should they do. and in my country i couldnt find anyofficial huawei service provider.
Please help me how to fix my phone.
I also had serious problems with flashing the thing back to stock.
TWRP was broken too for me.
I've done that to fix it all
The ONLY way that worked for me was
1. Download EVA-L19C636B168 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586
2. Download that SRK tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-bootloader-root-t3374068
3. Flash the recovery from the SRK tool, you can do that with the tool or directly via fastboot (i don't know other proper source for the correct recovery img)
4. Put the image EVA-L19C636B168 (UPDATE.app) in the "dload" folder of your sd card
5. Start phone in dload mode (Hold all 3 buttons at start) and let the update do it's job
What about recovery??? Does 3 button combination works? Whats heppens if u hold volup and power button when turning phone on!
Situation looks similar what i had.
Only solution for me was dc-phoenix.
U have tu buy 15 points to flash phone (15eur) But it works.
I'm 99% sure that there are bootloader comands what is same as for dc-phoenix,but i dont know them.

[SOLVED] Stuck with TWRP - Can't flash OTA package

Hey everyone !
I have a rooted Honor 5C NEM-L51 (European variant) with TWRP custom recovery and, as some of you may know, Nougat update is now available to download using Huawei Firware Finder.
However, a stock recovery is needed in order to get OTA updates and since I couldn't find a stock recovery image by browsing the web, I decided to go back to a full stock ROM.
So I tried to do this the usual way : creating a dload folder, placing the update.app file in it, powering off the phone and back on by pressing simultaneously the volume up, down and power button... but this always lead me right to TWRP, no matter how many times I tried. I restored my phone from soft brick using this method about two months ago with no issue, but now I can't get it to work, even if I release the power button once the phone boots or do any other shady manipulation. Could this have anything to do with the latest TWRP update ?
I also tried to do the "Power on method" by dialing " *#*#2846579#*#*" to go to the project menu and flash the file from here, but it rebooted to TWRP...
I'm at a complete loss here. Can anyone please help me with this ?

Thank you for answering. The problem is, I don't know where to find stock recovery image, all I can find with Huawei Firmware Finder is the full stock ROM. Browsing the web didn't help so far.
Can I flash the whole ROM through ADB ?

Extract the update.app of full stock rom using huawei update extractor. There u will find recovery.img. Extract it and flash using fastboot.

I did that and then tried to install the update through the dialer. It rebooted and I'm stuck on "Your device is booting now..." screen. Can't even turn it off, it reboot automatically to this screen. Seems like there is no recovery at all and it tried to do the update through this inexistant recovery no matter how many times it reboot...
What can I do now ?

Don't do it through the dialer. After flashing the stock recovery, just restart and then try the three button configuration(volume up + volume down + power)

I can't. I am stuck on the "Your device is booting now..." screen. If I turn it off, it automatically turns on again to this screen.
Edit : Nevermind, looks like I didn't press the button correctly. Only the recovery was missing, I finally could boot to system by pressing the power button. Then I reinstalled TWRP with ADB and restored my nandroid backup. Back to the start...
I may have a hint about what went wrong. Extracting the Nougat UPDATE.APP file gave me two recovery files : recovery.img and recovery2.img. I only flashed the first. Any idea why there were two of them ? I am going to try with the FULLOTA-MF file (tried with the FULLOTA-MF-PV file before), or maybe should I try to extract files from the previous update ?
EDIT 2 : Still stuck with TWRP. I extracted several UPDATE.APP files and all have two RECOVERY.IMG files. I tried flashing them both, one after another and then reboot to erecovery, but TWRP is still here. How can I get rid of it and get back to stock recovery please ?

I have flashed several times Twrp recovery on my honor 5c, and i didn't even had to flash the stock recovery to get back to stock rom. I had placed the dload folder with full update in it, and used the 3 button method to flash the full rom. And i was once again in full stock including recovery. Try this. If it doesn't help, just flash the stock recovery. Then type fastboot reboot, let it boot. Then power it off. Now press volume up + power button. Just see which recovery it boots.

As I said, the three buttons method is not working and boot right into TWRP.
Which stock recovery ? There are two of them. Anyway, I tried this again, it led me back to the endless "Your device is booting now..." screen.
Okay, trouble's gone real now. I tried to flash the boot image from the update using fastboot. Now I'm stuck in "Your device is booting now..." no matter what I do...

Worked. But guess what ? In TWRP. ><
But at least I can restore my system... Still, I don't understand this whole situation, why is TWRP always coming back ? I'd really like to get to flash this OTA update...

Well, I tried with or without uninstalling SuperSU which has an option to try to restore stuck boot and recovery images (which didn't work in my case).
I used adb to reboot into bootloader, from where I flashed either RECOVERY.IMG or RECOVERY.IMG and then RECOVERY2.IMG which I got from Huawei Update Extractor and reboot from fastboot. Then I tried to power off and back on my device by pressing volumes up and power button which led me to TWRP or endless booting screen. Flashing boot image from Update file gave me the same result.

Flash the meticulus twrp. Then repeat the dload process. See if that helps.

Did that. I even flashed the previous version of the official TWRP beforehand. Still nothing. I even wiped everything from TWRP except internal storage and external SD card and still, the three buttons method led me right back to Meticulus TWRP.
However, I did notice something very strange. If I boot normally by pressing the power button and then, on the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen, press the volume up button to "boot into erecovery to restore my device", it boots into... official TWRP 3.1.0.0 !!! What the hell ?!
Do you have any idea ? This whole situation is so weird...
EDIT : This is just complete nonsense. I even wiped the internal storage and this abomination of TWRP 3.1.0.0 was still there. I really am at a complete loss here. ><

[HELP] Full brick?

Hi guys, ITALY HERE, I rarely write on the forum, but this time I have a serious problem ... I tried everything ...
I had this phone with firmware PRA-LX1C432B101 root and recovery TWRP, now in the attempt to bring it to stock to sell it I had a HARD BRICK,
I flashed through adb a wrong firmware and now I can not even access via adb ...."adb devices" shows an empty List, i think fasboot is broken too ..
. DLOAD seems not working, all files i try stops after 5% "update failed" and of course erecovery download not working and hisuite totally useless ...
Damn, .. what can i do ??? Why fastboot does not work?
ty guys, have a nice day...
Hey man have you tried to change the cable,restart the pc and the phone?If after that works go in adb and flash the correct firmware using adb flash recovery recovery.img
adb flash system system.img and the same with boot.img
Yeah. Tried. No device recognized... and i cant find my original firmware 101 on internet...
Install any firmware for you Pra-Lx1 and then go to recovery and factory reset

When you say fastboot does not work, are you trying to use it on the bootloader ?
edit:
I thought I had bricked my device too when I wiped it and failed to install a ROM (which actually wasn't adequate), but I only had to download the correct ROM with firmware finder, then I extracted the .img files from the update.app file with Huawei update extractor. Then I went to bootloader, flashed recovery.img, boot.img and system.img.
Finally I rebooted into eRecovery and made a factory restore to get it to work again.
