There's no need to make multiple topics, my friend...
Remember that the TWRP IMG file must be in the same folder as your Fastboot files.
So, you can copy TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img file to the directory where your Fastboot is.
Or, you can type the directories correctly. For example, if your TWRP2.8.0.1 IMG file is located on your Desktop:
So, your command should be: fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\"username"\Desktop\TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img
Instead of typing, you can also drag-and-drop the TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img file into the CMD window.
Got it?

I'm sorry about multiple topics... my bad.... but you can erase the other in general topic....
but to flash i need to be in recovery mode at boolloader, no?
i can do this command in bootloader menu?
can't get the moto g in flash recovery mode, it appear a dead android with a RED ! TRIANGLE...

Fastboot and recovery are two different things. If you can get to Fastboot (bootloader) mode you should be able to flash recovery from there as stated by rafaelbrunner.
Hi Guys !
I'm facing a problem on rooting my Moto G 2014.
I've easily unlocked the bootloader but i can't flash the TWRP recovery.
I've read everything I could read about the process and I think I'm doing it the right way (the recovery file in the adb folder, etc...) and everything seems to be ok.
I've just a purple line at the end of the TWRP flashing procedure saying:
Mismatched partition size (recovery)
This post says that it's not really a problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48294073&postcount=6
Then, when I reboot the recovery, the phone reboots and the system starts normally (instead of restarting with the custom recovery ?). When I switch it off and switch it on in recovery mode, I still have the stock recovery.
Tried several times with TWRP 2.8.0.1
I can't say if it's because of a problem with TWRP (it's said here that it is buggy) or because I'm doing something wrong that I don't succeed.
I saw that there was a 2.7.1.1 release of TWRP for Moto G 2014 but it's no more available anywhere for now. I would have liked to try it...
Do you know if there's some known issues about flashing the Moto G 2014 recovery or can you help in any way ?
Hi guys !

Hi !
Thanks for your answer !
What do you mean exactly ? I didin't have any "old Moto usb drivers before". I installed them for the first time few days ago to unlock my bootloader.
Do I still have to uninstall these drivers (that are not that old) and install again the same ones ?

You can use "adb reboot recovery" only if the phone is turned on in normal android os ( in bootloader mode it'll only recognize fastboot commands ), and you must be sure also to have debug usb option enabled under settings/developer settings.

Hi eskamhl,
I warmly thank you for trying to help me.
I'had enabled usb debbug, no problem about that.
I"m not sure I understand what you mean when you say that the phone has to be " turned on in normal android os". I thought that the device had to started in recovery mode to install TWRP.
I tried to install TWRP with adb reboot recovery and with the phone turned on in normal android os.
adb says <waiting for device> when i paste and execute flash recovery TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img

Adb is one thing, fastboot is a different one.
If you give a "fastboot command" from the command prompt the phone must be in bootloader mode, instead if you give an "adb command" you must have the phone normally turned on.
Having said that, I didn't understand what's your problem... are you tryin' to boot into recovery mode or trying to flash twrp recovery?
It seems that you already flashed/installed a custom recovery ( TWRP ) from what you wrote, isn't it?

That's the point, I'm trying to flash a custom recovery (TWRP) in order to be able to flash SU.
I'm sorry about my poor english. I'm french and I confess that I'm absolutely comfortable in english.
For now the only thing I succeeded to do is to unlock the bootloader.
What I understand is that I have now to install TWRP with adb, am I right ?

No, you're not
You already did the installation of the custom recovery since you said that you received this message "Mismatched partition size (recovery)", now from bootloader menu you should boot into recovery ( volume down to scroll thorugh the options and volume up to select ).
If it won't boot maybe you should check the md5 of the downloaded recovery .img, probably it's a corrupted download.

When I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader (what I already did before), the screen turns black, 1 sec later the led switch on for half a sec and nothing else happends.
So, as you say, the recovery I downloaded was maybe corrupted. I'll check.
Guys, I've found the solution !
I think everything was ok from the beginning. The only thing that I did not understand was that I have to press vol- in fastboot to focus on "recovery" and to press vol+ to launch the recovery.
I didn't read it anywhere, i just see this in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr14wNgazOw&hd=1 (see at 7"15).
Anyway, thank you for trying to help me and see you soon for all the good things coming for this phone !

You're right... my bad
Hi all - I'm not entirely stupid, but I'm probably doing something basically wrong here.
I'm trying to convert my Chinese CRR-UL00 to something a bit more western, but still with dual SIMs, so converting it to Middle East/Africa model seems like a good idea. I'm not interested in root or even a custom recovery in the long term. I just want to change regions.
I have been trying to follow the instructions both here and elsewhere but am getting stuck early in the process. I've tried a bunch of different things so my phone may be in an odd state.
I have, I believe, unlocked the bootloader via DC-Unlocker. When I reboot into the bootloader (using adb reboot bootloader) I get a white screen with a header that says "Fastboot&Rescue mode", an Android icon, and "Phone Unlocked" in red underneath.
Attempting to flash a TWRP recovery.img using fastboot doesn't seem to have any effect, even though fastboot reports it has successfully transferred the image. Trying to boot into recovery - either using adb/fastboot or vol+/power keys results in the phone hanging at the Huawei logo at bootup. I've also tried to flash back a "stock" recovery.img. At no time have I been able to get the fastboot menu on the phone - it's either the white screen with no options, or the phone hanging at the Huawei logo.
Despite all this the phone will still operate normally! When operating normally the phone now reports its running CRR-UL00C00B172.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? What recovery.img should I use?
Thanks for any help!
WD
I'm not home right now but from memory the one I've used was named somthing like TWRP-2.8.7.0-Carrera.img
Thank you for the quick reply. I've had some time to have another go at this. Still can't seem to get TWRP recovery onto the phone...
It seems to flash...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery twrp3.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (24454 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.532s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.242s]
finished. total time: 0.787s
but then rebooting and holding down various keys to get into Recovery, I either get a hang at the Huawei logo, or I eventually end up back at the stock recovery. (I think if it boots to the full OS it overwrites any TWRP recovery)
What is the actual key combo to get into recovery? Various web pages report different combos:
- vol+ and vol- and power
- vol+ and power
- ?? something else
Many thanks,
wd

- flash stock recovery
- boot device normaly
- go into developersettings and look for OEM-Unlock
- if available, enable it. if not go to fastboot mode and use "OEM-Unlock" command with code again. (sometimes the bootloader isn´t unlocked fully on first try)
- then try to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0
- fastboot reboot
anyway whats your current build?
i can only access recovery via. "adb reboot recovery" command
Thanks for the help. Clearly I'm doing something wrong.
On rebooting normally after flashing recovery I don't see an OEM-unlock option in Developer Options. Attempting to fastboot oem unlock again gives me failed, already unlocked.
I've tried four different downloads of TWRP recovery from different places, I've even tried different adb/fastboot binaries to make sure that's not the issue. The TWRP recovery images I have are:
25,040,896 bytes (three different downloads, and I've seen one or two sites that claim this is only for the L09 version)
25,378,816 bytes (from a random Chinese web site that says its for the CRR-UL00 B131)
I'm on CRR-UL00C00B172. I wonder if I need to flash everything back to something earlier? (e.g. I have a full download of UL00C00B153).
wd
OK, success!
At some point I ended up in stock recovery and it suggested to download and install UL00C00B131. (why B131? Maybe because at some point I had been using the Chinese download with B131 on it?). Did so.
adb reboot bootloader
relock and unlock to confirm unlock is definitely working in fastboot
fastboot reboot
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
...now I'm into TWRP!
Thanks all for your help.
wd
...and now I've got it localised to MEAFNAF (C433) - so still dual SIM but with Google Play by default etc. Running CRR00-UL00C433B146 which is available from Huawei.
I followed these instructions. (based on the original Russian post but much better than Google Translate
At the end, the install of update.app hung at 90%. Using vol+/power to get into recovery dropped me into a Chinese recovery (probably from the recovery.img I flashed back to remove TWRP). Factory resetting from recovery resulted in booting to the full OS, but I didn't get the option to enter a Google ID in setup and the full OS was dog slow with a black home screen.
Doing another factory reset, I was then asked for a Google ID during setup, and this time resulted in a fully functioning Googley OS.
I understand I won't get OTA updates as I've changed my localization, so I'll keep an eye out for the final Marshmallow release from Huawei's web site.
I hope this thread is useful to others.

So this is my problem

at the end i wiped everything on my phone using twrp

normaly i would say "you fu***** it up because you didn´t read the other threads before you do some random s***" but i´m not going to write it today.
There are no special drivers for fastboot. the "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" package has everything needed.
If you phone isn´t recognized as android device:
- delete the drivers in the device-manager from windows. (Sometimes a restart solve problems)
- disconnect your phone from the computer first.
- boot your phone into fastboot mode.
- reconnect it.
then you should be able to flash via fastboot.
If fastboot shows something like "command not allowed", your device is probably FRP locked right now.

you have to search the drivers manualy. path should be minimal adb folder.
the frp unlock can be removed vie developer settings but you can´t access them.
which boot.img and recovery.img did you flash? if it´s from a mate s rom, then it shouldn´t affect your phone.
you could also try something else. take a micro sd card. place the dload folder with your current update.app in it. then boot your phone with vol+ (or vol + and vol-) and power. it then should do an force update.

well... i already wrote it in other threads that using an twrp backup, which is not yours can FRP lock you device. since you can´t boot your device, you also can´t remove the FRP lock. with the FRP Lock you can´t flash any files.
so you need an uncorrupted TWRP backup from someone with the same mate s model you have.
if you´re on stock recovery, try what i wrote the last post. Place dload folder with the Update.app for you model on an sd card and boot into update mode with VOL+ (and VOL- depending on the recovery version) and Power button at the same time.

no the werid thin is
when i restored the twrp backup it actually booted thats when i tried to falsh the stock recovery and boot image
and i already tried with the hardware buttons
Vol+ gets me to Huawei eRecovery (tries to download firmware over wifi but failes)
Vol- gets me to fastboot mode
and btw that only works when i turn the phone off and hold the button and connect the usb cable
without the cable i automaticly get into rescue mode
with eiter
Error!
Func NO : 10 (boot image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
or
Error!

You have Ton press vol+ and vol- and power button all at the same time with the cable Unplugged. If you have an Update.App on your SD Card it will automatically Start the process without asking any questions.

well i don´t know where to start. just give an short explanation about the Huawei Recovery system.
The Huawei Mate S hast 2 ("TWO") recoverys installed. Recovery.img and Recovery2.img. just for safety reason if someone or something f***s up the primary recovery.img (first recovery). the first one is also the one you normaly swap with the TWRP backup.
The Huawei Mate S can be booted in 4 ("four") different modes
1. normal boot into android
2. boot into fastboot&rescue mode
3. boot into reset mode (twrp recovery if you swap recovery.img)
4. boot into update mode
you can reach menu 2-4 with vol+ and/or vol-. As long as you haven´t replaced bot recovery images. the button combinations vary depending on the flashed recovey(2).img version.
mode 4 only starts if you have an FULL UPDATE file in an dload folder in your internal or sd storage.
the update mode is the one that takes up to 30 seconds to start after the vibration. Keep holding the associated buttons and the power button until the device vibrates. then relase the powerbutton but keep holding the other buttons. then wait. after a while a cirlce with "EMUI update" will appear and install the update file you placed into the dload folder.
this method worked for me when i f****ed up and i also found some other thread with the same problem you have. did the same thing i just explained

this method worked for me when i f****ed up and i also found some other thread with the same problem you have. did the same thing i just explained

you don´t need to power it off. you can also reboot into the updatemenu from fastboot menu. just hold all buttons long enough and wenn the screen goes black, release the powerbutton after vibration.
sd card musst be fat32 i think

can you do an factory reset in the eRecovery?
if not, try
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
in fastboot&rescue mode.
it´s possible that there is an incremental update file in your internal storage.
which update. app did you use? should be the last working version you used.

CRR-UL00 or L09?
the eRecovery differs depending on the version used. i for example can factory reset via eRecovery.
It´s also strange that you can´t access the force update mode. this is an basic function you can´t erase.
Hi,
i need help with this strange problem, i want update my phone to android 6.0 but when i start local update phone reboot and freeze on Honor logo, when i try factory reset or reboot to stock recovery menu - its same, again only Honor logo.

If you are sure bootloader is unlocked and using Linux OS, run fastboot commands as root/admin (as sudo).

the reason for this case, that you should not apply updates while you are rooted.
(assuming that you are in lollipop stock )I suggest you check for the driver .. try to run adb (when your phone is in the active state, not powered off)
now, reboot to bootloader and try any other fastboot commands, like fastboot reboot (just to check that fastboot is responding to the device drivers..)
if it does respond, then I'm afraid you have a serious problem, if it doesn't respond, then you have to deal with the drivers, or you have to double check if your phone is unlocked

erase cache command is blocked by huawei in fastboot irrespective of locked or unlocked state. somewhere i read unlock lost permissions after update. if you have not tried unlock after update try it. driver can also be an issue, install hisuite it comes with drivers.

okay. are you sure the bootloader is unlocked? no harm done. just hold vol down + power up. and you get that green android with white background and the text in RED that says UNLOCKED. if its LOCKED, get the UNLOCK CODE first. just a reminder, you can only fastboot flash those *.imgs if you are UNLOCKED. and there are only some files will be flashed properly (recovery.img, recovery2.img, boot.img, you can try). yes, you can use Huawei Update Extractor to get those files, even in Marshmellow files. but for reviving the phone, use B067 Kitkat or any Kitkat you can get from Huawei Downloads.
1. Get into bootloader mode. I guess you already know how to do that. Plug the phone to wall charger. Yes, leave it charged with white screen showing. Leave it until you finished preparing the PC.
2. Make sure you can use fastboot. You can use Minimal ADB and Fastboot.exe found somewhere in XDA. And make sure that it can detect the phone when you write fastboot devices. It will show up if set up properly.
3. Huawei Update Extractor + Any Kitkat firmware. Extract everything. Note the tags beside each .img inside that Update Extractor. Youre gonna need those tags in order to flash properly.
4. Copy all those *.imgs that extracted into Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Check program files (x86).
5. Now ready the pc by launching that minimal adb and fastboot.exe as admin. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
6. fastboot devices. pull the phone from wall charger. plug it to pc. listen to usb connecting sound and driver installation. hit enter and the device should show up.
7. This is where its getting interesting. remember the tags? use that tags like this.
RECOVERY.img = fastboot flash RECOVERY RECOVERY.img
BOOT.img = fastboot flash BOOT BOOT.img
CHECK THE TAGS BEFORE FLASHING!!! and yes, just 5 or less files will be flashed successfully. Ignore it. fastboot reboot it. Yes, its stuck, plug it to the wall again while we prepare the microsd.
8. update.app file. Put that update.app file inside /microsd/dload/update.app folder. Put the microsd inside the phone. Yes, its stuck.
9. Now do the force update. when you see the emui logo, immediately plug it back to wall charger. wait until 100% and it rebooted itself, and you can see the language selection screen again.
DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK. Ive already done it, I hope it worked for you too.

First...many thanks for your interest!
Look, about bootloader, on boot mode is in red PHONE UNLOCKED, i try this command in fastboot:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) unlocked
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s

(bootloader) FB LockState: LOCKED
(bootloader) USER LockState: UNLOCKED
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: -0.000s
so what is FB Lockstate??Is my bootloader unlocked or locked??
Here is another command which i try....
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot -w
wiping userdata...
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
Can't determine partition type.
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
erasing 'userdata'...

Cant derermine partition type - is this problem?
I also try this....

It seems that fastboot write recovery (with your help i need use admin rights now this work) but i still cant boot to recovery no matter how...
I can also flash and backup boot and recovery via Flashify or Rashr and when i open backup with HEX editor it seems that i succesfully upload TWRP but still cannot acess TWRP recovery....
This is all what i try in this time, of course i read your help words about Huawei extractor etc. but not try at this time, i hope i explain more detailed my problem. Look im not a newbie, i allready flash etc. my Lenovo and P9 lite what i have here but not understand where can be problem in this Honor 4x, it seems like corrupted recovery partition or can be problem in read only/write partition - i play with this option before....
anyway - run as admin - this help me a lot i think, THX and wait your answer.
EDIT: one thing, you think that when i try flash stock recovery (i can, no problem of course) it will be work?
Update: Big success, i just try flash stock recovery B064b and now im in stock recovery menu, im surprised but what now? I want update to Marshmallow 6.0....?
But in stock recovery is: phone and the data cannot be recovered. Continue?
Oh sorry, this is about "not sd card inserted" problem
What will now progress? I have inside B130 firmware and want Marshmallow, also TWRP recovery must i flash now especially for B130 firmware for work?
Update: Yes, all working now, factory reset, recovery etc. you help me a lot, only if you can tell me what number of firmware must i upload for Marshmallow, thx
Last update: So finally, coz im too hurry and dont want wait for your answer :angel:, i just upload from local update first Android 5.1.1. after this 6.0 and all is perfect and working!
My big thanks and kisses goes to you zzztidurvirus, im lucky and still cant beleive that all works, again thx!!
I did once on Win to revert back to Stock from CM12.1 by using img from update.app file. For my case, it's the MM update.app not working, I couldn't flash img files into phone, then I tried to flash files from LP, it worked. I boot into LP ROM and update from there to MM.
Hey hey people.
I was trying to upgrade my friend's Honor X4 Che2-L11 variant to 6.0 age from it's lollipop and ****ed up - big time. It seems to have a recovery, and it bootloops. I can't get it to install any update.app though, it either errors or gets stuck/crashes at 5%.
Now I am trying to flash a individual stock recovery with fastboot. Like the guide by zzztidurvirus there, but whenever I try to issue flash command this is what I get:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'RECOVERY' (9304 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.258s]
writing 'RECOVERY'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.261s
- so basically any flash command sends OKAY, Writing Fails with Command not allowed. Bootloader is unlocked, "PHONE unlocked" on screen and same status messages from fastboot as Lulu up there when making queries.
What gives, what could I try still?

Sadly not, as I tried both running ADB fastboot as admin from administrator command line and I tried three different recovery images from huawei, 6.0 (because the flash went bad during attempt to flash a 4.1EMUI with 6.0 B506 ROM for CHE2-L11) - And it keeps denying the write attempt with the same message. More info on the flash: I tried to TWRP flash from 5.1 rom to the EMUI4.1 6.0 ROM following guide someone made with updateappflasher.zip or something, during the flash the phone just crashed 60% in the bar and after that the phone is boot looping into recovery but it can't do anything. Like said any attempt to flash a stock rom even if a recovery seems to exist when booting VOL+ & POWER at the same time, but it will fail if attempting to do wipe data/factory reset in 40% mark. Forced updater can also be accessed but again, thanks to the firmware situation the phone is in it does not flash anything beyond 5% without crashing and being stuck or just giving an error message outright.
Only thing I might have not have is the right kind of ADB drivers but googling about CHE2-L11 I really cannot find a ADB drivers for this phone for life of me and dealing with windows 10 these days makes it worse. At least it used to be that I was with windows 7, back when I myself unlocked the bootloader of the phone and rooted it myself, I have some memory of that being harsh to deal with too, as I had hard time getting drivers that worked right with the phone etc.
I will check into this... At this point my friend bought a new phone already but I still will try to fix the phone for him since I feel personally pretty bad for pretty big mess I made.
I will also try this with a windows XP machine I have still, it is meant entirely for different things but at times like these it is somewhat nice to have a XP around. At least the darn driver problems are not a problem.
UPDATES:
I unbricked the phone. The stock recovery was intact enough for just a normal dload install of a update.app from huawei - why it did not initially work was probably the USB connection to computer and/or 64gig microSD card my friend had, not being compatible with Huawei's recovery updater. I myself had a 8gig card around which worked and I restored the phone ultimately to a 6.0 official ROM. I also went ahead to root it - and final find really was that the reason why recovery etc. would not flash, was because I wrote "fastboot flash RECOVERY twrp.img" - instead of "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - the latter works, and the all caps for "RECOVERY" results in illegal command error - and it was no bigger than that.
Meanwhile even after sorting this all out my friend already ended up buying a new phone so it hurts but I hope some other people find some info here useful.
My phone is stuck in boot screen since last night. Powering it off it just boot and stuck again. I've never modded the phone. It's stock with 2 months of life. I can access EMUI recovey menu to wipe cache or factory reset and connecting it to a pc and pressing volumkey down+bootkey It enter in FASTBOOT&RESCUE mode.
Is there something I can do to access phone memory? I really need to save some files.
I thought I could use adb to pull the files I need but I suppose I've usb debug disabled so the device is not recognized. It's recognized by fastboot.
Try to extract the following partitions: boot, recovery, cust & system with Huawei Updater Extractor and flash them manually by.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Of course you need to download the right firmware for your variant.

I guess you can flash stock images even if your bootloader is locked.
about firmware variant: something like pra-lx1c432b115
try to reflash stock boot.img only if fastboot is recognized, I've the phone about 2 week and no issues for now.

Is there any way I can access files on my phone? I really need some recordings
I dont understand why the phone is not seen as adb device. I think usb debug is enabled because I used hisuite some days ago and I think that software needs it enabled
My phone is also stuck at the boot screen, I guess I have the same issue. My phone is also about 2 months old, not rooted, not unlocked, original software. I cannot boot into recovery mode, I can only boot into fastboot&rescue mode while holding the power button and volume down button when attach to the computer by a USB cable.

I assume that I'm not able to flash anything because my phone is locked and USB-debugging is not enabled on the phone through settings (and I cannot get there since the phone doesn't boot into Android). When I connect my phone to the PC the Hisuite does open automatically but it doesn't show any phone, nor cannot recover it through that software.
If only I could flash anything on the phone, that would be a step forward in reviving this phone. Does anyone have ideas?

I guess you mean unlock bootloader? I emailed Huawei with the question if I could get Unlock Bootloader code. To get that I need the phone's serial number, IMEI number and product ID. The first two I have, the product ID I can't get, because I cannot boot into Android and dial *#*#1357946#*#*. I read somewhere that there is an algorithm to figure out the product ID, there's even an Huawei Product ID Generator.exe, but the P8 lite 2017 isn't supported. If I know the product ID I can get the Unlock Bootloader code, unlock the bootloader and hopefully flash a new recovery and boot and rom.
i have the same issue. how did you fix yours?

Is your bootloader unlocked if yes give a try with above method.
If no go to the nearest service center as it is happening to many devices.

yes i unlock my bootloader
I am having the same problem I can't flash anything using the ADB & Fastboot and my device is stuck at loading. Can't even access the TWRP =/
Hi, i have the same issue : phone stuck on Huawei Logo, original firmware, bootloader locked.
I cannot unlock bootloader since Huawei unlock plugin has closed.
I can only access fastboot mode but flashing commands seems to be "not allowed".
How did you managed to solve this ?

Press The Vol.UP+VOL.DOWN+PowerButton at the same time even if the phone is on it will reboot and try to install a frimware it will fail the reboot to eRecovery
If it doesn't
Connect the phone to a USB cable and press the VOL.UP+PowerButton

Like I said, the combination doesn't work, it stuck on huawei logo and it doesn't go futher . The only mode i can access is fastboot with cable + vol down + power.

I believe you, surely we don't share the same problem. I didn't flash anything on my phone, it just stop booting without a reason, like the original poster said.
