No fastboot No recovery - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

So i accidentally flashed a magisk zip file to my p20 using a program called "TOOL ALL IN ONE" AS a recovery it showed that the process was completed but when i wanted to boot to fastboot it just shows that my phone is booting, same thing with recovery mod.
so basically i need a software that can let me install any recovery or repair my fastboot status as I am no longer capable of doing anything.

have you tried flashing it in ADB? i mean most of these tools are nice but when you type in the commands in adb to get things done then you will understand more and more about how everything works.

Did you solve this? I'm on the same situation. no recovery no fastboot!

Turn off your phone then press and hold power down button and don't press or hold nothing more. Hold power down and at same time connect your phone by USB to pc. Whoa, you are in a bootloader. It helped for me. Then you can reflash recovery and all will work again.

When i chose from CWM recovery menu "Reboot recovery", phone boot into download mode, and thats all. Fastboot or adb dont see it.
But. In usb device list:
In download mode:
Bus 002 Device 061: ID 0bb4:0ff9 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire / Desire HD / Hero / Thunderbolt (Charge Mode)
In recovery mode:
Bus 002 Device 063: ID 0bb4:0f91 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)
Assuming you didn't corrupt your boot loader you should be able to get at the boot loader and use fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Power the device off
Hold power and volume down, the phone should turn on and load into the boot loader.
From there you can select fastboot (navigate menu with volumn buttons, power button to select fastboot).
You can use this command to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you can enter bootloader,you may try formatting partitions from fastboot,and flashing them afterwards,that is if bootloader is unlocked.
You can also lock your bootloader and try installing RUU,it will put your phone back to stock,
P.S. - I'm new to this,so please consult with more experienced members,before doing anything

Guys, we have to check if he can boot in bootloader/fastboot.
So, @ZloY909, if you're in recovery, adb can recognize your phone?
And, in CWM, there is the option: reboot bootloader?
As download mode you mean bootloader?

fastboot shouldn't be affected.
when you connect your phone to the PC, does it the text in bootloader change from "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB"

adb or fastboot is not recognize my phone. In cwm recovery i have only reboot option or reboot into recovery. I have the same situation as tha developer in other post.
when i chose boot to recovery i have : "screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds"

"screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds" -> that's stock recovery
Before, when you are in bootloader (image attached), are you able to "fastboot devices" and it shows up? because the bootloader is not affected by the recovery.
basically "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" put the custom recovery where the kernel is supposed to be.
First thing you need to get/confirm working is bootloader/fastboot.

In cwm adb will work.
So i think you have some issue with drivers.
And, however, if you turn off the phone, you can't access in bootloader with a longpress of power and vol-?
Hey, so I'm the one who had this same situation. What I had to do from what I recall is go to CWM screen, cleared the cache, even in advanced the davlik cache, then I believe (and you might have to try different combinations of this, because I don't 100% remember as I had before tried so many different ways) I unmounted the system mount, then went to reboot from the first screen to get to the bootloader (hold power button and volume down). After this, I clicked on Fastboot and it then went to Fastboot USB. This is where you should be able to connect. Don't leave this screen until you flash the recovery in the right place and then properly install the ROM. Let me know if you get to at least connecting and I can even send over an image for your boot, so you can at least get your phone back.
It can be done, I had the same situation so your phone is not bricked. Just keep working at it.

My phone won't start

Hello,
i think I've broken my phone, I hope you can help me.
I followed this tutorial that you can download here : (I can't post the link because I'm a new user)
I've tried to unlock the boot loader with success, then the installer tried to install a recovery (as the text in the command window said) and the progress stopped, I have waited a couple of minutes but nothing happend and I disconected the phone from my computer (I know that was a bad idea).
Know my phone won't start, not even in the recovery mode. I can hold the Vol +, Vol - button and the power button but only the huawei logo appears, then turns the screen black and nothing more happens. I have also disconnected the battery for some minutes but this didn't change anything.
The only positiv thing is, that Fastboot still recognizes the phone when it's connected to my PC, but I still can't enter the fastboot mode.
I hope you can help me and save my phone,
thankfull Robin

First of all thank you for your reply. But I can't put my phone with my computer and minimal ADB in fastboot mode. The device is found with the command "adb devices" but it has only recovery status. When I type in "adb reboot bootloader" then Huawei logo flashes up and then it goes back to blackscreen.
I fixed it
I fixed the phone by myself. I'm not an expert at all and this is for the people with the same problem.
I think the problem was, that the phone won't leave the recovery mode, because it was listed with "apd devices" as "recovery" for the whole time.
So I tried to install a stock ROM via SD Card with a tool named au_temp.cfg and the phone actually did more then just turning back off when i pressed the Vol+, Vol- and Power key. So the phone actually entered the bootloader but I got the wrong stock image, but this didn't mattered because after one try the phone got back to normal mode and booted quite fine. So I think the main problem was, that my phone was stuck in a recovery mode and needed help to exit it.

Phone can't boot stuck at "Your device is booting now" Please Help

Hello, I wanted to install TWRP and ROOT my phone. I flashed TWRP using adb terminal. But when I tried to boot into TWRP it was stuck on "Your device is booting now..". Then if I held the power button for few secs it rebooted normally. So I tried to google it and I found adb command that reboots to recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
. When I executed the command it rebooted to the "Your device is booting now.." screen and it stays like this forever. No button combination works to reboot the phone if i hold power button it reboots shows honor logo and then shows the "Your device is booting now.." screen. I waited for the battery to drain and then i put the phone on charger and when I tried to boot it, it was the same. Now when I try to reboot the phone it shows ultra low baterry symbol and then boots to "Your device..." screen.

Did you try all method to going in fastboot.by adb fastboot command or by pressing vol- and power button?
Hi guys, thanks for your replies.
I somehow managed to boot to fastboot after waiting for the battery to go out completely. From there I used the following commands in ADB from the extract of a stock update.img :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
And it worked ! The first boot was veeery long and now it's normal again.
Now my last concern is that I still have bootloader unlocked. As I wish to come back to factory state and avoid the warning message on boot, do you guys think it's safe to re-lock bootloader ?
I'm kind of scared to try anything else and screw the whole thing now
Thanks again for your support

Can you please explain to me how did you managed to boot into fastboot? I tried waiting for the battery to drain completely. Now I can't fully charge my phone. When i connect it with charger. It starts normally charging like it would with 0% battery then after a few moments the honor logo shows up and then the screen "Your device.." shows. When I try vol- and powerbutton it vibrates and shows the red lightbolt then after few moments it boots the same way into the your device screen. When I connect it to the pc it doesn't react. I don't even hear the classic windows beep sound.

You need to press power + volume down key to boot into fastboot. Keep trying 4-5 times sometimes it takes due to wrong press

So I managed to get into the fastboot. Where can I get boot.img, recovery.img and system.img? I have downloaded some update.zip files from this russian site (first 5) http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=NEM-L21&firmware_page=0. But I don't have boot, recovery and system images in these zips.

Meaning the fastboot is accessible.
Now you have firmware zip, extract it amd you will get few files. Use dload method as given in my signature and you are good to go.
Else use Huawei extractor and browse to update.app you just got in above downloaded zip. You will get boot, recovery, system img you need.
I downloaded some firmware versions and extracted them. I don't know which is for my device. So I tried one of them. I flashed boot.img and recovery.img but I din't flashed the system.img, becouse it was too big. When I tried to reboot the phone it was the same. The fastboot was no longer accessible. I put the phone into servis but they didn't fixed it. it's the same but I can enter erecovery

Phone boots fine but cant enter recovery or fastboot.

I have an honor 9 lld-l21 with unlocked bootloader and i had twrp and magiskintalled but i wanted to update to the latest version so i tried updating without changing anything and i would get errors in twrp so i flashed the stock ramdisk and nothing happened then used huawei update extractor And extracted recovery_ramdis.img and it WAS written like recovery_ramdis.img and i patched recovery ramdisk in twrp with this file then rebooted the phone it boots normally and i can do whatever i want inside the phone but when i tried updating it downloaded the update powered off and then tried to get in recovery but it couldn't and booted in to the phone and said update failed i tried factory reseting my phone but same thing happenes, it shuts down tries to open recovery, it cant then boots to normal phone and says factory reset failed. I tried using adb to reboot to recovery or fastboot but it cant, it shuts down the phone, goes to open recovery or fastboot then opens the phone normally. So i cant patch the phone with any stock firmware or anything like that because i cant load into fastboot. I tried using hisuite and using the system recovery option there and it tells me theres nothing wrong with my phone. Its like i deleted fastboot and recovery from my phone.
Note : i am not in a bootloop i can enter the phone fine and do whatever inside infact im posting this with my phone i just cant enter fastboot or recovery or erecovery or anyhting.
Please help. :crying:

OK you have knackered your recovery, you still haven't told me how you try to enter fastboot.
Try this to enter fastboot, from phone off while holding Vol Down connect to PC with USB lead.
Should enter fastboot where you can then flash a new recovery partition.

Question Phone stuck in boot loop, unable to get to FastBoot

Hi,
Sequence of steps:
1. Extracted the boot.img from payload.bin and flashed it to the phone. At this point I was able to get into Fastboot
2. While in Fastboot I went into advanced and wiped the "System Settings", and that's when the trouble started - now the phone is stuck into a boot loop forever, I do however get the options to "Power Off" and "Restart"
3. But none of the options above in Step 2 is able to bring me back to Fastboot (and hence into fastbootd either)
Question: How can I get the phone into Fastboot Mode - have tried MSM Tool v4 as well, but that doesn't even recognize the phone
Edit - This seems to have been resolved now, think I had to press Vol Down + Power instead of Vol Up + Power
Was able to enter into Fastbootd as well, will try to proceed with unbricking the phone with a fresh mind tomorrow
FYI for others reading I was able to install magisk by booting the patched file (dump the payload using the python script mentioned above). Running the command Fastboot boot filename boots into the operating system and then magisk can be installed using the direct method.
I assume running this command the phone doesn't actually flash the boot image but could be wrong

Thats right, "fastboot boot <file_name>" loads temporarily your custom recovery of choice. After rebooting your phone, the custome recovery is gone.
Otherwise, the command "fastboot flash <file_name> recovery" flashs permamently your custom recovery of choice to your device.
Hi I have a oneplus 8t and I tried flashing a payload.bin file using fastboot enhanced. after the operation completed I tried to reboot but the phone only shows the logo and then the bootloader unlocked warning message and then turns off briefly, then it does it again and the screen goes black. When connected to the PC, the PC recognizes the devices as android adb recovery devices but i can't do anything from there. Tried the volume up+power combo and it just does the same thing. tried the volume down+power combo and absolutely nothing happens. If i could at least get to the bootloader I could unbrick it but I just can't get there. Any advice

I have exactly the same issue, on a nord 2
How about vol+/vol-&power all together? When stuck that gives me some screen that allows start, recovery (the one where you can enter advanced settings I expect from your description) and bootloader booting.
