HEy Guys, i just wanted to Install the flashable zip of the newest TWRP over the current CWM. It said okay, but i still get the CWM Recovery. The App Rom Manager says that my current recovery is TWRP, but it isnt, i only get to CWM.
Im not into that stuff like adbfiles or fastboot mode, this is to hard for me to try.
Isnt there another option to get TWRP running?
thanks
Should not be flashing the phone if adb/ fastboot is too hard

Dude go 2 fastboot. Then flash the twrp file the same way u did when u first installed cwm after unlocking the bootloader(using command prompt). There might b a flashable zip directly, but I wud advise u use the fast boot method.
Dont flash. Use fastboot.
Put the recovery file in your SDK root on your computer and hook up your phone
Go to fastboot in bootloader
Then
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
Another option is Flashify app on play store. Flash recovery with that without the adb hassle.
problem in recovery verion
hi guys..... my problem is ia install kikat 4.4 on old recovery version.and make factory reset.and now i cann't connect mobile on pc.how can i install another recovery version now...thanks to all
I followed all of the instructions in the Nexus 6 Guide to unlock, root and flash a custom recovery.
I was trying to sideload a rom into my phone and was doing advanced wipe in TWRP. I accidentally choose system thinking it would be fine since I am flashing a new rom anyway.
I think I force shut down the phone and now it just stays and hangs on the google logo. I can only get into the bootloader/fastboot. When I try getting into TWRP recovery it just flashes for a second and then attempts to reboot.
I figure I should try flashing a rom via adb bootloader/fastboot but I attempted a few times and failed. Can someone help walk me through this?
Edit: I can access TWRP recovery now... I tried doing sideload several more times but for some reason I keep getting loading rom.zip cannot read rom.zip
Well i going to geuss you know to to get to recovery though bootloader thought your phone
But your phone is semi Bricked
You can download wugs toolkit
And i will show unroot/flash stock you will click bootloop/ bricked and go though the steps
And it will download the stock software and reovery and go though the steps you will be fine
If you want use the same toolkit and root and install twrp again
Do you use a USB otg drive? If you don't you can send a rom to twrp using some commands.
Try to redownload the ROM that won't work and put it on the phone via a USB otg drive or using your pc and don't forgot gaps.
If you're not, use the WUG toolkit to reflash the stock ROM. Then you can use that to flash your new ROM
Unless im missing somethimg, why not just flash the factory image through fastboot and start over?
Like mentioned above, or just flash TWRP in fastboot. Then boot into TWRP, and flash ROM.
I was having issues and wanted to switch to the systemless SU so I decided to start over fresh. used toolkit to restore stock image and unrooted. tried to install newest twrp using toolkit but it kept coming up with bugdroid with red triangle and exclamation mark. Did some research and few places said you have to go back to lp. so I downloaded factory image and went back to lp unrooted and locked bootloader. unlocked, rooted and installed twrp everything was good. I extracted the newest 6.0.1 factory image and installed each component separately except for the recovery. now I am on 6.0.1 and try to go to recovery and bugdroid with red triangle and using toolkit I cannot get the newest twrp to stick. my sdk is updated.
any ideas on what to do?
thanks

Never trust a recovery installed by a tool kit. Grab the recovery img from the site and flash it manually.
all i have now is stock recovery. whats the best way to manually install twrp
go into fastboot and flash it. you have to be in your bootloader to flash via fastboot. you put the file in the same window as your fastboot program, then type.. fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img, and that will flash twrp. if you type fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img then itll only boot into recovery one time, thats what your toolkit did.
Wugfresh Toolkit works great for me and I used it for 6.0.1
Make sure you flash permrecovery file provided by the toolkit, it prompts this during the steps.
If the copies of factory img or recovery provided by the toolkit are not working one easy way is download your own, the toolkit allows you to use your own files and not the one it obtains.

Don't use toolkits. I recommend yoiu follow @simms22's solution.

when you have root, you can always use an app, like flashify, to flash twrp recovery. but you need to have root first.

I have tried with and without perm recovery checked, I had the newest twrp img file so I choose other and selected it, I even used the option for one time recovery boot with twrp and then flashed twrp within it like I was updating twrp and still nothing. I am going to try fast boot itself without the tool kit.
Is there any other part of the stock factory image that would update the recovery? I didn't install it coming from lp but it still went back to stock instead of staying on twrp

no. but when you flash the full factory image, stock recovery will replace twrp. if you just want to update, flashing the system.umg and boot.img will work, and youll keep twrp.
This is why we don't use toolkits.
Boot to bootloader mode
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery filename>
Where <recovery filename> is the path and filename of the twrp image you downloaded
After flashing use the arrow keys to boot into your newly installed recovery
Take a backup of your phone
Use recovery to boot android
Reboot to recovery with custom power menu options, or by opening a console on your phone and typing in reboot recovery
Post here to tell me that I am right, and thank me.
If you don't reboot to recovery from the bootloader, it will likely be restored back to the OEM recovery.

well, thats how you should flash recovery. but its not the reason that we dont use toolkits. we dont use toolkits for several reasons.. 1. they mess up 2. doing it properly is just as fast if not faster 3. newbs think that toolkits are made for them to use. well, they are wrong. toolkits teach you absolutely nothing, which is the worst for beginners.

thats why after going to lp and getting twrp working I flashed system, boot, and newest radio independently and skipped over recovery but for some reason it reverted back.
just using fastboot by itself worked great thanks for the help

if you skipped the recovery.img, your recovery should have stayed.. oh, never mind, i just remembered a file that you need to remove after the first boot, or itll install the stock recovery after the first reboot. its called recovery-from-boot.bak. if you remove that on first boot, youll be fine
Is it possible to install TWRP with your device running the Nougat beta ?
The recovery is separate from the firmware. So I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Root on the other hand I wouldn't know but I suppose the SuperSU beta zip file flashed with custom recovery would get the phone rooted.
If it was a kernel being flashed then that would matter as it affects the firmware (as it replaces the stock kernel).
Yep. You can install a custom recovery, even if you accidentally wipe your system, the custom recovery will still be there. (I have experience) I think that, if you can find the right supersu zip file for your phone, you should be able to root your phone.

Install the drivers for your phone. Just look up Huawei p9 bootloader drivers, and you should find it.

Already tried this, since installing the Nougat beta my PC only recognises my phone when in recovery mode. I installed TWRP but phone still boots into the original erecovery and not TWRP
Did you install with with fastboot? or from within the phone? Because you have to reboot to recovery pretty much right after flashing it. Try re-flashing twrp from inside the phone with flashify, then reboot to it immediately afterwards. (Get the 3.0.2-0 (or higher) version for your phone)

Yes installed with fastboot, I manually booted into recovery (volume up + power button) right after flashing it. I thought flashify requires root ??
Wait, you updated to 7.0 without root? Did you use the normal updater? Because if so, try finding a way to downgrade again. Maybe that will work

Yeah, I just flashed the update using the dload method. The main reason I want to install TWRP is so i can downgrade. I've tried using the dload method to downgrade however it doesn't work.
For the dload method, I think you have to flash stock recovery first

I am currently using stock recovery and it still won't let me downgrade, the update reaches 51% then an error occurs. Would it be possible to flash downgrade firmware using fastboot ?
I believe you can, but you should check online to see if it is.

Ok. Good luck!
Same problem here, I installed a leaked Nougat beta for the Honor 8 via TWRP and when I tried to get back to TWRP it wouldn't let me. I've tried to flash it again via fastboot but I can't boot into it :/
I have this problem too after Flashing Nougat.
I have already flashed twrp recovery via fastboot, installation complete. But I cant boot into recovery mode.
I have never had this kind of problem before. If you tried a cold boot (Hold volume up + power), try typing "adb reboot recovery" instead (or the other way around, if you've done that)
Hello.
I came from z3.
For z3 to get in recovery with N u have to hold down vol button and insert cable. Charger or PC

I don't know if this works, but I was looking around in HiSuite (huawei's phone thing app on pc) and saw a ROM flashing option. Try that.
So I connected my LG-H811 running stock ROM 20p to my PC successfully and ran adb and fastboot to transfer twrp and supersu over to the phone internal drive. So far so good. I couldn't get twrp to flash properly, so I simply did a temporary boot and got twrp to run without flashing it as a recovery. Then I used twrp to flash supersu (SuperSU-v1.94.zip). The problem is that when I try to reboot, it says the superSU binary is not installed. So I tried newer versions of supersu (SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip and SuperSU-v2.48.zip). Each time with these newer versions it soft bricked the phone again and required a full stock ROM restore. Specifically, it hangs either on the black LG screen or the white T-mobile screen, while the blue LED flashes on and off every few seconds. To unbrick it each time, I did a restore with stock ROM H811V20p_00_0913.kdz with LGUP. That got it working again with stock ROM, but no root. There must be a way to get superSU to install on 20p (and even get the twrp recovery to flash). I unlocked the bootloader, and it seems to load, so apparently that's not the issue. Thanks.

Thanks raptorddd, but that's exactly the problem. I did flash superSU using twrp, and it seemed to install fine. I expected that I would simply get root as you say, but that's not what happened. The first time with SuperSU v1.94 newly installed, the phone rebooted normally, and the superSU app showed up, but it didn't work because it said there was no binary installed. The newer versions of superSU simply soft-bricked the phone. So I need a way to get superSU to work and not soft-brick the phone. Is there a preferred version of superSU for LG-H811 ROM 20p, or some obscure setting that makes it work?

Thanks -- that's the the exact same version of superSU I used earlier (I even ran a diff, and the files are identical). After I flashed this version of superSU on the p20 stock ROM with twrp, it soft-bricked my phone. By that I mean it got to the boot page, and the blue LED pulsed on and off every few seconds, and it never got beyond that. When I flashed superSU v1.94, at least it booted afterward, but when I opened the superSU app, it didn't even give me the option to update binaries -- it just said the binary isn't installed, and so superSU can't run, it exited.
Maybe I'll try flashing an earlier stock ROM and see if that allows superSU to flash and run properly -- not sure which ones are compatible given the anti-rollback versioning.

try a custom kernel it has superSU installed.. i say imperium kernel.

OK so I finally got root. The key was to copy over this file to the phone's internal memory:
Imperium_Kernel_G4_H811_v4.8a.zip
Then:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img
Then in TWRP, flash the imperium kernel. After that everything worked with root, though I still can’t get the twrp recovery to flash properly. Having root is good enough for now though.
EDIT: just now got TWRP to flash using flashify, so everything works. On to unlocking...

Yes, fastboot boot from the twrp image was kind of a hack, but it worked. As for SuperSU, I tried v1.94 and SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip. Both soft-bricked the phone. Maybe the newest SuperSU will work, but I wouldn't count on it given that several previous versions didn't.

I need to flash twrp and root from 20p also. One question to clarify exactly what you did,
Did you originally try flashing TWRP from TWRP? You said you flashed root from TWRP but I want to verify if you tried flashing TWRP from TWRP like:
> adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img
then in TWRP:
> install click on image tab.. then select twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img recovery and flash it.
> reboot recovery (should reboot to TWRP you just flashed)
Just to be totally clear doing > fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-h811.img leaves your stock recovery intact and just loads TWRP temporarily.
Or did you actually flash TWRP from TWRP and it didn't flash properly?
Thanks!

Yes, just loads TWRP temporarily. Later I installed some apps that flashed the recovery successfully, either rashr or flashify (I don't remember which)
I hope you have all the files and pc is reading your phone in adb.
Keep the downloaded twrp file in your adb folder with dwonloaded name (Ex:1234twrp.img)
Copy the file and keep in phone internal storage with names recovery.img
adb reboot bootloader (wait for phone to boot in bootloader ofcourse)
fastboot boot 1234twrp.img (whatever your twrp img file name would be)
Now you are in twrp recovery page in the phone.
Tap Install > Images (bottom right) > select recovery.img >
Now you are in next screen where options to slect recovery or boot
Tap recovery and swipe you will see [image flash complete]
Now twrp is permeant. You can restart in recovery without PC. (Tested)
I have flashed more than 6 methods to install supersu. Keep trying and reply.
