I know last time I tried flashing a 4.4 ROM I would get some error because of some weird compatibility thing with CWM or TWRP or something like that. I don't remember which recovery it was that I needed that would let me flash, I'm trying to flash beanstalk
You should flash the boot.img from the rom zip using fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash the rom.
I would advise doing a lot more research of how to flash custom roms and how to fix potential problems before continuing on any further as it will save you time in the future in case of any problems.

extract from the zip file boot.img
flash it through fastboot , reboot your phone and go to recovery and then flash the rom
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!
So after much flailing, I think I understand how to manage updates... but I'm not sure. I currently have root and Xposed installed on 5.1.1.
My plan when the next update comes:
get the factory image from google
Unzip the zip.
Inside that, there is the image-shamu zip, which I'll also unzip.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx-shamu.img
from twrp
Reroot and reboot
boot back to recovery and install Xposed again.
Is that about right? what am I missing here?

That would work though no need to flash recovery if you already have it.. But yes, other than that, probably the best way.
Edit, also no need to reboot between flashing SuperSU zip and Xposed zip
Thanks. The last time I tried to flash system.img, twrp was bork'd, but maybe it was just a fluke. I did a lot of weird things today to figure this stuff out, and maybe it was something else.
Hi Folks.
Afrer flashing preroooter stock firmware 5.0.2 i cant flash nothing at all. Not even new boot img is working.
I wanted to flash recovery but nothing
I had followed all instruction here. Booted new image with recovery. Nothing. Used flash gordon. Nothing. All possible apps. Rom manager ect.
What i should do to have recovery?
Phone is rooted but this is all. Not even fastboot or fastboot on pc will anything do.
Even thru commander new boot to flash.
Schoud i propably take a boot img from any CM and try to flash that why this schoud have recovery inside?
Any ideas?

If you're using XZ dual recovery, then it's because on 5.1 the paths are changed so the recovery won't mount system partition >> unmounted system = nothing can be flashed. A user fixed the issue, it's posted on the last pages of XZDR thread. "nut" will make it official anytime now. Install the fix via PC and flash away.
Can you please send me the link? I cant find it. Any solution as well witout PC? And flash in fastboot or flashboot?

Hello,
So I did a mistake by flashing TWRP into the boot partition... Now whenever I reboot my phone it enters TWRP. How can I fix that or is it bricked? I can't find anywhere on the Internet stock boot images, only some modded kernels or something like that. Can anyone tell me how can I get stock boot.img and flash it so that I can use my phone again?
