this is what i tried to do: wanted to flash a new rom from my original froyo. read through the guide and got it rooted and installed rom manager and in turn installed recovery. booted into recovery and made a backup. tried installing a rom but it wouldnt let me so at the end installed RA recovery instead. i was able to flash a different rom. mpw tried to boot to recovery to get stock rom it display just the android and exlamation mark.
i can get into bootloader but in recovery wont show a thing as if it lost the recovery program.
tried installing sdk but adb wont see the phone.
SDK version 9, windows vista
Any ideas?
You have the stock recovery...
Read the wiki. Follow the guide for unroot/restore, using passimg method and FRG33. Start again rooting (though you probably want to read a bit more first, and make sure you can connect via adb and fastboot BEFORE you mess with stuff)...

issue is i cant connect through adb or fastboot since i dont have the debug mode before it all went
You don't need adb or fastboot to follow the unroot/restore guide. I was simply suggesting that you make sure it works before you try and root again.
Unroot/restore.
Get adb and fastboot working.
Play with phone.

how can i get adb/fastboot working. i went through the guide and dozens of other websites.
adb doesnt see a phone connected even though under device manager it shows an android device.
Install the drivers when in fastboot mode, and you'll have fastboot. It's not adb.
fastboot won't help you unless your bootloader is unlocked. adb you won't get, unless you install a ROM and enable debug, or install a custom recovery - which, again, you won't be able to install without unlocked bootloader. adb doesn't work in bootloader mode, you should have found that in at least one of the "dozen guides".
So, you have 2 options:
1) you have unlocked bootloader or you want to unlock bootloader - in that case, enter the bootloader, connect usb, install fastboot drivers, install custom recovery with fastboot.
2) you don't want to unlock bootloader - then follow the correct advice given to you in danger-rat's posts above.

ok problem solved and thanks. all along the dll file for fastboot was in platform-tools instead of tool within the sdk hence why fastboot never worked. unlocked the bootloader and recovered my old image. incase anyone else have this issue.
thanks

I managed to get myself stuck in a locked bootloader with no way to get back into android or flash a rom from recovery. Would I be able to flashboot a .img file from being bootloader locked or will I have to run the RUU.
I am only saying this because I can't get windows 8 to find my phone even with the drivers installed. I am guessing it has something to do with being USB 3.0 and on a MBP. The only way I can seem to get fastboot to work is in OS X, Wine hasn't been able to run past the initial loading screen so that idea was shot. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Unlock the bootloader..if memory serves me correctly you only need to be in fastboot for that. Once you're done with that, flash your corresponding RUU (since you don't have s-off and supercid).
Or you could flash recovery by putting it in the same folder as adb and typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and go from there.
And lastly just factory reset from bootloader..that could also work

I'm struggling to install Beanstalk on my 4X HD and I'm just so tired right now...
I somehow managed to unlock bootloaer via lock-relock app (in hidden menu, BL test shows "unlock" so I guess that's ok?)
I have root - well, I wouldn't be able to unlock BL without it...
And now, to install Beanstalk I need to flash CWM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523732
But to flash CWM I need to set up fastboot drivers and there's the problem :/
With the simple app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 - adb works ok, with "adb devices" it shows my device, but "fastboot devices" doesn't work at all. And I've read that there's this way to make fastboot working on Windows 8.1 - http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/index.php/topic/1362-how-to-adb-fastboot-in-windows-xp-7-81/ - but it doesn't work as well...
There's too much things... Dis I miss something? Maybe there's a faster and easier way to install Beanstalk? What do I have to do to get KitKat flavour on my O4X? :laugh:
You can flash recovery via adb or terminal emulator
I have the same problem, you should try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934....
I updated drivers while i unlocking bootloader by toolkit, you start toolkit, go unlock bootloader before that you check usb debugging, than follow instruction in toolkit, than phone will reboot and enter in donwloading mode(for bootloader unlock) go right click on This PC, Properties, Device manager, and you will see fastboot. And than just update driver... Right click on fastboot and Update Driver Software, navigate to the file and thats it....
Fastboot driver Download: http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/67020672/file.html
You will need winzip for this.
You can install cwm via this rootkit and later you just update with rom manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
I flashed recovery straight from my phone using a terminal emulator, no need to connect it to a computer. I can't remember the command though.

Thanks for all the advices, but I used little app from GP called Flashify. It flashed CWM_6.0.1.1 with no problems at all.
I'm so happy to finally have Beanstalk ^.^
Hello,
So I have a P7 at B126. I tried rooting it with kingroot and tried to install TWRP. I got to the part where you have to use fastboot to flash the img and it fails so I gave up. Now I am trying to get into recovery and I can't. It just either goes to a black screen or a Boot failed screen.
Thanks in advance
Hi, I'm a little confused right now. Explain what you did so far a bit more detailed, so we could help you.. Which instruction were you are following? What was the exact error? Is your bootloader unlocked? Can you boot normally?

I can boot normally.
What I did was this.
I followed the guide to root my phone. Rooted it and then tried to install the TWRP custom recovery. It failed at the installing the recovery for some permission error. So I stopped trying to install it. Now I apparently don't have a recovery at all.
I also installed some root apps like SetCPU, Xposed(Which didn't work), SuperSU(Which didn't Work)
If I try to adb reboot recovery it just takes me to the boot failed screen with the android logo on it. If I try using the Power + Down button it just shows me the huawei ascent P7 screen and just go black.
Also when I go to the fastboot/rescure mode it says my bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks for the reply.
Ah okay. So, boot into the fastboot mode, put the recovery.img in the adb folder on your pc, run cmd and type 'cd c://..' (location of adb folder), then 'fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img]' (for example 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img'). Now you should get a working recovery.
Are you sure you really got root access? Eventually due to this you got the permission error..

I do because adb has admin permissions but fastboot doesn't. I tried that with trying to flash twrp on my p7 but i get a failed error after like a second I the command. So I tried flashing a stock recovery and it throws the same error in fastboot.
When I type fastboot devices I get this
? fastboot
No id for my phone but adb sees it.
Ok, your pc does obviously not recognize the p7 in fastboot mode. Did you install the Hi Suite? Through this way you should get the correct drivers (maybe even update/reinstall). If this does not help, I think I can't help you, sorry. You may wait for more help or google what do when the device isn't recognized in fastboot.
Just flash the newest SuperSU.zip when you got a recovery.. That should fix problems with root apps/ the su binary.
Offtopic: I'm not sure if you noticed, but, you're running a pretty old firmware.. You may think about updating

Hi Suite installed and correct drivers are loaded(I hope) and yes thats why Im trying to get this fixed because it wont even let me update firmwares
Try on another pc.. You could also try flashify (look in Google play), but in case of a softbrick you have real problem. Do this on your own risk, most times nothing bad will happen, but it could!
I would recommend to flash the stock recovery, update up to B621 and then installing a custom recovery.
can't boot into recovery

Hi mate.
1. Use your pc, Go shuame.com and download "rom flash program".
2. Enter fastboot&rescue mode and connect your phone and PC
3. The program will recognize your phone.
4. Download anyrom and flash by the program.
The process will not complete but you will have Shuame recovery.
But my case it didn't work properly
5. I downloaded CWM from here "pan.baidu.com/s/1dDq0qcT" password :bttc
Start this program with connect your phone and press nomber 1 and ENTER.
I don't exactly remember my phone was on fastboot & rescue mode or recovery mode.
But I could get recovery and did rom flash so it was fixed.
*****from: Godfrey Peligrino ---sorry i dont know how to post BUT, this guide helped me with my p7 L10 B619..just connect it to pc and let it boot over and over and when pc acknowledge you phone..click rom and just wait if not do it again..hope this will help you too..the writings is on chinese so just copy the english thumbnails before you proceed to download...(QUOTE) THANKS TO THE GUY WHO POST THIS....HE IS TOMODACHI5..
So this morning I was lazy and tried rooting with the kingroot app, because I didn't want to factory reset. It went okay and I had root but I wanted to use SuperSU as my root manager. Well the binary wouldn't update so I figured i'd unroot from the kingroot app and remove kingroot from my phone, and root the proper way later. I pressed the unroot button and my phone rebooted, but now it's stuck in a bootloop.
I don't have an unlocked bootloader or a custom recovery, and I never checked the enable oem unlock in developer options so flashing stock isn't an option.
I tried sideloading the OTA for the build I was on, but I guess kingroot didn't actually unroot me, because it told me I needed to reflash.
I tried factory reset and wiping the cache in the stock recovery, and tried 'fastboot format userdata' and 'fastboot format cache' but that didn't work either.
The only thing I could find that might help is this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/info-nexus-6-nexus-9-enable-oem-unlock-t3113539
but since I don't think you can run adb commands in stock recovery or bootloader this won't work.
So is there any way to fix this or am I boned?
As far as I know the only fix is the one in that link but it does require custom recovery. I'm assuming the fastboot boot command doesn't work when locked but I've never tried, if it does then you could temp boot into twrp. Worth a shot I guess.
Hindsight's 20/20 but NEVER touch anything other than your data or cache partition with a locked bootloader. Google's security jump with lollipop has caused nothing but havoc for us.

If you already installed the drivers and know how to run fastboot commands skip to step 4. Otherwise, start at the beginning
1.) Install the Wugfresh Toolkit from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452 so that the drivers you need get installed along with fastboot and adb commands.
2.) Open Nexus Root Toolkit after it has finished installing. Under advanced utilities click "Launch" then choose launch command prompt for manual mode.
3.) Put your device in bootloader mode (pwr+vol down) and connect it to the computer. Type: "adb devices" into the command prompt and it should list a device serial number. If it does, go to step 4. If it doesn't, unplug the phone and plug it back in and re-run command.
4.) Then run the command "fastboot oem device-info" and tell us what the output is.
Hopefully when you rooted it, it unlocked your bootloader automatically. If you successfully rooted and rebooted it should technically be unlocked. We won't know until you run fastboot oem device-info
or, you can grab the factory image of whatever version of android that you were on, "unzip" it, grab the system.img, and flash it via fastboot. its the same thing as if was a "custom recovery", youre just reflashing the rom, and wont lose your data
first thing id do is flash a custom recovery and unlock my bootloader, and make a backup in recovery.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
It says
'device info' is not a supported oem command. See fastboot oem help.
FAILED <remote failure>
However I'm fairly certain the bootloader is still locked as I was unable to flash TWRP, or a stock image of android, as it tells me to unlock before doing those things.
AFAIK when you have this problem together with a stock recovery and a locked bootloader means bricked. >repair
Your bootloader is lock and you can't boot android to enable OEM unlock to unlock it. You have ruined your phone and there is no known fix.
RMA time for you.
Literally no solution unless you can invent one on your own.
Is it necessary to have your bootloader unlocked to boot into a custom recovery from your pc? Say you download twrp on your pc, would fastboot boot twrp.img be a work around for that?

Absolutely. Otherwise anybody with a notebook could swipe your phone, download everything you've got on it, then return it without you knowing, and that would mean more nekkid selfies on reddit.

The entire concept of a locked bootloader is that you can't flash images through it.
Hi, this is my first post on this forum.
At the beginning I'm sorry for bad English, I am using the translator.
I have a lenovo k3 note and everything worked as it should have, until it returned from China (I sent it there, then I received a reply that the screen is damaged, do I decided to fix it here, in Poland).
Currently, I cannot install CWM or TWRP. I tried to do it in many different ways. When the phone turned off, I hold volume buttons and power, but then it showed me a message at the bottom of the screen: fastboot mode.
I tried to install twrp or CWM using adb commands. I was just trying to run recovery using commands. I also tried different versions of recovery using flashtool and the result was the same. Three buttons and a message about fastboot mode.
I can install new rom using only flashtoola and I did it. I currently have K50a40_S427_160518_ROW, android 6.0.
I read somewhere that I can have a locked bootloader. I tried the command fastboot oem unlock by adb but it did not work.
Please give me a hint or tell me what to do step by step, and I will still try to properly install twrp.
Thank you in advance.
