[Q] Stock recovery not working, stuck in bootloop?

I made a mistake and had Xposed 2.5 installed and I didn't disable resources and now my phone is in a bootloop. Since I got a phone a few days ago I was too lazy to install custom recovery and stock recovery won't seem to load. All I want is to hard reset my phone to get out of the loop. I did get into the stock recovery once, but I thought wiping cache would solve the problem somehow [dumb] and it got stuck on wiping cache so I turned off the phone, and since then I can't open recovery. I also didn't insert SD card before. Is there anything I can do?
Edit: I managed to open recovery and do factory reset, but phone is still stuck in bootloop. Please somebody help, I'm desperate.

Have you solved?

@sarcastical
Maybe a 'Force Update' with full Wipe helps?
* Download org. Firmware (B121 or B126) http://www.huaweiblog.de/downloads/ascend-p7-downloads/
* Connect your P7 with Computer (MTP-Mode)
* Copy extracted folder 'dload' from Firmware with file 'UPDATE.APP' to the top of your internal device memory
* Poweroff device and then press POWER + VOL. (both!)
* Device will detect update and starts
best regards

@sarcastical
I had the same problem.
You need :
Huawei-ADB-FastBootdrivers
Stock Recovery
Fastboot tools
Then proceed step by step :
Put your phone in download mode (switch off the phone, then plug it with USB cable on your computer and press Power & Vol -)
When prompted, install Huawei-ADB-FastBootdrivers
Flash stock recovery : fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
Try to access the recovery (Power & Vol+ & Vol-), or boot you phone and try a local update (with update.app in the dload folder on your SDcard); It may take a long time.
If you need the softs, I can put them on a cloud drive.

Thank you for your help, everyone. I actually solved it different way. I found an old SD card and I downloaded B126 and put it on that card in dload folder, then I installed B126 and even tho I lost everything, at least phone worked. I wish I knew some of these methods before, though. *sigh*

Connect your device to the PC, and ADB is gonna be accessible for 2-4 seconds while the logo is loading (bootanimation), by that time you can flash recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or simply enter bootloader mode by (i think) holding power up + vol up + vol down buttons. After you have access to the recovery, things are gonna be easier as you can flash ROM's, kernels etc etc. (either via ADB or the recovery itself)
Best regards,
James

Resolved
Thank you Everyone for helping and guiding issue is resolved your help is always appreciated...

how?
How?

same problem here with my P7 L00 , forum should work both ways, would be nice if you could post solution... tks

Most likely the solution from #4.
Also note that you can easily enter bootloader mode by
a.) disconnecting device and powering it off completely
b.) holding down VOL DOWN and connecting device until it boots into bootloader mode
(Similarly, if you hold down VOL UP you can enter recovery.)
In bootloader mode, flash the correct recovery, then you can do the three button update with update.app in the dload folder.

Did you flash the correct stock recovery for the device? Not having the correct recovery might just throw you into the recovery instead of flashing the software. Also, the recovery should be unzipped inside the dload folder (some people forget this).

tks! using TWRP 2.8.7.0 that runs ok on EMUI 3.0 - not original recovery - maybe that s why then I can t get to force download?

When you flash stock recovery, make sure that you're using exact version of the ROM.
Like if you had B609 you should use B609 recovery image and no other!
I made the mistake of using B621 recovery image on a B609, thinking "well it's the same, both are KitKat and both are EMUI 3.0" but NO! I was wrong.
Don't make the same mistake i did.
Let me know if you get stuck

Yes, that is the problem - *only* stock recovery can install stock ROMs and updates! Depending on your base version, you should install the recovery for the BXXX ROM (e.g.: if you are on CWM flashable B609, flash the recovery for B609, etc.).

tks all, I will flash stock recory and post back
follow up: TWRP was the issue, flashed stock recovery and was good to go...running EMUI 3.1 android 5.1 already, tks for all!

Soft-bricked Huawei Ascend P7?

I have tried to root my Huawei Ascend P7 L10 phone, using Root Genius and also Kingo Root through my Windows PC.
The rooting has not been complete, something has been messed up on my phone.
When I try to enter recovery mode (volume + and -, and power), the led slowly blinks green and red, and the screen shows this message:
"Unfortunately boot failed, get more information... (Chinese letters) ...shutdown/rescue mode..."
After choosing rescue mode, the screen says "...Phone unlocked"...
I have several times tried to collect information on how to solve this, but the threads contain bits and pieces and partly tutorials/videos.
I would like to find a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to deal with this problem.
Also I have read that I need to install ADB, SDK, this and that, but it's hard to follow the instructions from beginning to end.
Can anyone help me with this?

Have you found a solution?

What is your firmware version?
As far as I know that you could try to flash stock recovery and boot image and then download a compatible firmware for your phone and then force upgrade it which would solve the problem.

how chek firmware version help meeeeeee

go to setting, and about phone

@jonnynordhus, i've already helped someone with a similar problem, try this:
Download B852 official ROM and copy it to root of your SD card to a new folder "dload"
It should look like this "/dload/UPDATE.APP"
Extract UPDATE.APP (on your computer) using Huawei Update Extractor (all files)
Go into bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
Now open command line and use ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) to send following commands to your phone:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG
Now force update by turning off your phone, and turing him back on while holding all 3 buttons pressed down.
When screen comes on release the Power button but keep holding both Volume rockers pressed down until you see an EMUI logo.
If for any reason it fails to install, go back into recovery and do Wipe data/Factory Reset, and than try again.
Let us know how it went

I cant figure out my problem

Hello everybody !
I'm here today because i have a problem I can not figure out.
When I got my ascend p7 I download a room I found on this website called "My rom v3.3 B609" to enjoy the emiu 3. Everything works fine, I am really happy of this rom. But I wanted to upgrade my phone, in order to get android L. It's been more than two months that I try, look for answers and so on but nothing works.
Everytime that I want to flash a new rom, the CWM ( 6.0.5.0 ) tells me " installation aborded". And no matter what rom it is, it does not work. I've heard about the Notepad method but I can not find the sentences to delete.
I am really stuck, I can not even downgrad. My CWM wont let me do anything.
So if somebody could tell me what is the problem, it would be really good.
Thank you in advance !

in order to flash a original firmware you need to replace the cwm with the designated recovery.img of the rom you want, also you need to flash the boot.img of the same rom you want..then you have to force update with the 3 button method..
search around the forum..it is described several timea in many threads..

Help - ran into trouble with my P7-L10

Hello,
After 1.5 years on B136 I've decided to move to a Lollipop rom. I've wiped my device, flashed stock recovery from B609 and wanted to force-update from sd card .... and device didn't boot into recovery at all.
So far the only recovery that works for me is TWRP, but I can't flash stock roms with it. When I flash (with fastboot) a stock recovery (doesn't matter which, I;ve tried B133Sp01, B136, B609, B852), my device goes into bootloop or just reboots while in the recovery.
I need to rescue my phone now.
Any ideas... ?
This is as far as I get:
Extracted cust / boot / recovery and system from B136 and flashed them with fastboot.
Device reboots, shows Huawei logo, plays animation and sound. After a while - it reboots and goes into recovery.
Recovery is in chinese.
Device stays in recovery for a few seconds then reboots itself.
And on and on....
Does anyone have any clue why this device keeps rebooting itself all the time?
Update:
Since TWRP was working for me, I've tried couple custom roms. Results:
TWRP + material one test rom: flashed fine, got boot screen, got boot animation.... device reboots. After second reboot goes into recovery.
TWRP + B609 test port: same as above.
What can it be that makes my device reboot over and over again, even when in recovery?
I'm out of ideas. Please help.
Thanks.

@GawDroid, try my method,
Download B852 official ROM and copy it to root of your SD card to a new folder "dload"
It should look like this "/dload/UPDATE.APP"
Extract UPDATE.APP (on your computer) using Huawei Update Extractor (all files)

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG
fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG

When screen comes on release the Power button but keep holding both Volume rockers pressed down until you see an EMUI logo.
If for any reason it fails to install, go back into recovery and do Wipe data/Factory Reset, and than try again.
Let us know how it went

Okay, I did exactly this today:
Extracted boot and recovery from B852 update.app
Flashed both with fastboot
Put dload/update.app on sd card
Started phone in force update mode (vol +, vol -, power)
Phone shows "Huawei Ascend" logo for 30 seconds and shuts down.
I cannot enter recovery either. Phone does the same as above (huawei screen, shutdown).
I have never had an EMUI 3 rom installed before, maybe that's why this recovery can't start? Just guessing...

Flash the boot.img first and then the update

This is how I did it. First boot.img, then recovery.img, then tried to update.

Up. Any ideas why it keeps rebooting regardless of ROM, or even in recovery?
