My bootloader was unlocked after installing the rom but I can't install any recovery or rom, any idea?

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I've been trying for two days but I can not install it

Try to unlock the bootloader even if it says that it's unlocked
Type this command in adb
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk [name of twrp]
Make sure you're using the right version of TWRP that works with Oreo

ALE-L21 Bootloop after OTA last night?

Hello all,
I've rooted my P8Lite L21 using the custom recovery method, flashed the supersu.zip, then restored the original recovery.
Yesterday I had an OTA and now phone reboot once during system boot, and at the second time it hangs during boot.
What can I do to recover this? I have stock recovery, and when I try to VOLDOWN+POWER it never goes to fastboot. (last time I had to use adb reboot-bootloader but now I can't reach system\adb..)
Can you help?
Thanks, cheers,

Hello,
You can boot to fastboot with this method:
Connect phone with PC then power off
Now push two buttons VOLDOWN+POWER+MicroUSB now you can install any stock ROM with fastboot commands and suitable *.img(boot.img, cust.img, system.img)
P.S
What OTA(number) arrive to you?

Worked like a charm Thanks a lot! I don't know the OTA number.. Still can't get into system :|
I'll try flashing TWRP from here and then i don't know which rom to use.. I'd like CM12 but i'm not sure its supported.
Can you suggest any stable ROM ?
Thanks

First you try to remember what is your last ROM number and your region. Or you can install the last beta on android 5.1.1(B010) need unlocked bootloader
Here all official firmware for device ALE-L21

It's Portuguese\Europe, Single SIM.
I'm downloading "Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 V100R001C432B171 (Europe)". Is this flashable from fastboot? Yes, i'm unlocked. Does it need the hiSuite or fastboot.exe will suffice?

Yes, I know this is single SIM. But, why do you say that I need to downgrade to B052 and then OTA? Can't i flash the B170 directly?
The other question i had is, how to flash this. Hisuite or fastboot.exe?

If you don't see any problem, I will try to flash B170 directly, since my bootloader is already unlocked. What do you think?
About the link you sent, the site appears in English, but then it changes to russian? I cannot get it back to EN.

OK
Try this. Use Huawei update extractor in forum xda have link to it. Open the UPDATE.APP and extract the following files: Recovery.img, Boot.img, Cust.img, System.img
Then use fastboot commands to flash B171 ROM
I wish you success!

Hi there,
I have a similar problem: bootloop!
I'm comming from B170 and installed 7 HD 1.2 ROM and got some errors, I thougt it would be an good to go the long way to B008 or better B010. After so searching I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64483642&postcount=43
- did not step 1 an under-pressed flashing recovery in step 2 and 3, thought I could yet use TWRP.
Obviously, that was the mistake.
At step 4 I recognized that I have to do step 1 to go on.
that worked an I copied the update.zip to internal card, initialised the update.
Not sure it got to 100% but think so.
Result bootloop, can't get to recovery, only fastboot
Tried to flash every thing: B052, B170, and 136a, even the boot.img and recovery.img of B010 and B008
no errors but still bootloop.
PLEASE HELP!!
is there a full version of B080 somewhere to flash by fastboot? or any options to flash the update.zip of B080 again?
All other proposals are welcome!

First 7 HD 1.2 ROM work only over the B010!!!
Second in this archive have the instructions to install Beta B008 why you not did everything described in the instructions?
Third when install stock firmware RECOVERY must be original not TWRP!!!
Now you must install stok recovery, make hard reset then install B052
After that you can install every stock firmware for your region! or follow the instruction to install B008=>B010=>7 HD 1.2 ROM

Hm, this is very strange!
What device do you have? and which region use?
adb reboot recovery --- says: error: device '(null)' not found
if I try with serialnumber
adb -s W3D7XXXXXXXX reboot recovery ---- says error: device 'W3D7XXXXXXXX' not found
but ---- fastboot devices ----says at the same time: W3D7XXXXXXXX
---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

So B170 worked in the first place
Try this method and ROM
May be you must use google translator because tutorial is for Bulgarian people

Unfortunatly it doesn't work when I need to reboot in twrp and install the root package the device is stuck on loading screen with "your device is booting now..."
it seems like it cannot load twrp recovery?
No recovery tool supports VIE-L09 model (TWRP/CWM), I tried also with One Click Root but the dont support the model I gues this phone cannot be rooted because there is no recovery support

Yes, twrp should work, you must have the wrong twrp or doing something wrong.

Did this work? I am hoping to root my Huawei P9 VIE-L09C02 with B350 (P9 Plus with Vodafone Stock ROM, EMUI 5.1 & Android 7.0)
Normally it works, but your bootloader and FRP must be unloked

PRA-LX1 Bricked (Command not allowed, package info failed)

My device: PRA-LX1 (Dual SIM version)
Got bricked. I was installing Google APPS on EMUI (Dumb) and it just kept on looping and restarting.
I decided to try the rescue zip and when I successfully restore it, it boots back to TWRP after I reboot to system.
My recoverys: TWRP (installed on recovery2) and Stock EMUI Recovery (installed on recovery)
Bootloader: Unlocked
Fastboot: Command not allowed
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hello, is the FRP status on fastboot mode LOCKED or UNLOCKED
if it's UNLOCKED then you can unbrick it using fastboot to flash boot.img system.img and do a full wipe of your data partition.

I already booted, that's good news!
Now I've got a problem. The famous unbrick guide everyone uses - the firmware is buggy for me.
Fingerprint scanner doesn't work - camera doesn't work and audio doesn't work.
I think this is a problem with the firmware as they are more models of the PRA-LX1?
Btw, how do I find mine?
Thanks
My model is the Europe unlocked dual sim one

I Soft Bricked my P10

So, I tried to update my P10 (like an idiot) and obviously failed leaving me in a bootloop, I can access fastboot and recovery, but nothing else, I have an unlocked bootloader too, what can I do to solve this? My P10 is the VTR-L09C605B166 variant that I tried to update to the B210 version (Oreo) I just want a real fix I didn't try anything because of the fear of breaking my phone even more, and I don't know if a technician will help me because of my unlocked bootloader and the warnings that appear, please help, thanks in advance.
Are you able to install and boot twrp?
How did you try to update?
For twrp you can use my guide.
You can easily check if you're on Oreo by using fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP.IMG". If it shows a partition length error, you're still on nougat and need to install a nougat twrp with command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.IMG".
When TWRP work you can proceed with my guide.
But I need to say: without any warranty.
Everything you do can cause a brick even if it should be safe.
Other solution is to try to relock your bootloader (you need your unlock code!) and try a factory reset or restore with eRecovery - this is the official way and works only if nothing is modified in the system.
BTW: B210 isn't Oreo, I think.
B36(X) are Oreo builds.. You must have downloaded some unreleased software :/

You can try it. The recovery within my archives is from VKY, so it should work. The devices are kinda similar. Just download the right firmware for your model (VKY) and region (Cxxx, like C432), and also FullOTA.
It can be possible that my script doesn't work with your phones partitions. If so, please post the TWRP output, then I'm able to rewrite the script for you.
You can do it by yourself if you know the partitions for recovery and recovery on you device.
Hi. I can't access recovery. Phone is completely off. I connect to USB and computer recognizes de phone USB SER. I hard bricked. It happened after I upgraded to oreo version. It shut off and it never turned on again. I tried power +vol. Can't get aceess to recovery just black screen. I appreciate if you can help. Thank you

MI A2 not receiving OTA

Just bought MI A2 from official dealer and the phone is stuck on Android one version 8.1.0 and not getting PIE via OTA.
Is there a safe method to manually install the latest stock PIE version of android one ?
Is it possible the update was removed from the servers ?

I have the MI FLASH TOOL installed but it would not succeed to install the drivers.
I assume nothing will work if windows does not have correct drivers installed.
Can I install the fastboot driver manually ? which driver ?
Btw, the phone is detected in fastboot mode by the FASTBOOT/ADB command line interface. Is that helpfull to me ?

Just bought MI A2 from official dealer and the phone is stuck on Android one version 8.1.0 and not getting PIE via OTA.
Is there a safe method to manually install the latest stock PIE version of android one ?
Is it possible the update was removed from the servers ?

Afaik...to flash latest pie base firmware, first you need to unlock your phone's bootloader and then only you can flash available fastboot firmware (pie based) using MiFlash tool.
Try to OTA update using WiFi(Keep the phone to airplane mode and just turn on the WiFi and then try to update). Also before updating the phone just turn on the oem unlock switch under developer option on safer side so you can unlock your bootloader later if anything goes wrong while updating your device since many people have reported that they've bricked their device during updating their device..
Updaing to PIE was successfull.
Used this guide to unlock bootloader: https://www.androidexplained.com/mi-a2-unlock-bootloader/
Then used the MI FLASH tool to apply the stock rom. First atemp failed with "write error" after 55 seconds, but I tried a second time and this time the process completed.

I hope you flash both this fastboot codes when unlocked your bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Unlock_Critical is require to flash custom roms and if you would want to revert back to stock from custom rom.

Yes, did both commands. However, after flashing PIE via the flash tool, the bootloader became locked again.

You must have selected "flash all and lock" under MiFlash tool so it lock the bootloader as well but now you know how to unlock it so do it whenever you feel like unlocking your bootloader..
