[Q] backingup stock recovery???

I would like to know as to how can i backup stock recovery? Bcoz, i wish to go S-off and unlocked via Revone method, then flash TWRP, flash a few mods, and then get back to stock recovery , s-off, locked bootloader. Is that all possible. Does a nandroid backup, backup's stock recovery as well???
Thanks in advance guys.

You can't do a nandroid without custom recovery so that is out of the picture. OTA zip files however contain the recovery file you need.

If you're still on stock recovery at the moment - go into fastboot and command:
fastboot boot name_of_your_custom_recovery.img
This will just boot into custom recovery without flashing it. Do a backup and it will backup your stock recovery.

You'll need to download either CWM or TWRP. You can rename the download if you want to something like cwm.img or twrp.img to make it easier.
Once the backup is done it will be on your phones internal storage in the clockworkmod or TWRP folder - depending which one you choose to boot. Just copy it to your PC.

One question though... i bought this phone as a used, and it was Tampered and Relocked. When I selected the recovery option, it booted the phone to somewhat stock like recovery, and then after some process, the phone rebooted, and the phone was totally Factory Reset.... everything in the storage was gone too..... so is there an way to check if it is indeed a stock recovery, or this is the normal behaviour of stock recovery...?

You need to unlock your bootloader before doing anything with custom recovery. Use Revone or the official HTC Dev method

this method of just booting a custom recovery used to work with OLDER hboot versions. but it doesn't work with newer hboots. my hboot version is 1.54.0000 and when I use the command mentioned above, my bootloader menu just freezes!! guess I'll have to look for the OTA file then to find the stock bootloader!

Not sure if it helps as I was still on 1.44 HBoot, but when I tried the command while the bootloader was locked, my bootloader would also freeze and I had to do a hard reset. Once I unlocked my bootloader, the boot command worked.

first of all, you must have your bootloader unlocked in order to boot/flash a custom recovery. you can't do so if your bootloader is locked. and secondly, yeah, I also had the boot command worked out before I had the 1.54 Hboot. I guess this one doesn't allow 'just' booting a custom recovery!

Hello guys, I really messed up my phone.
I was trying to relock, and unroot my phone but it didnt go as planned.
Long story short, I cannot flash ANYTHING through CWM or TWRP (latest versions) and none of my files shows up in either of these recoveries. When i push a file through adb i get an error code on both. I believe that CWM said it cannot mount E:/SD Card.
I also have nothing to bootup to (bootloop)
I really need my phone and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just calm down buddy... This is the second thread you've made so far. Now I'm going to help you and I dont want any of your money. I just want you to agree on one term and that is to not make another thread about this.

That sucks balls MyMonkeyBalls..
Yeah, has happened to me too, I had to send in to get fixed, been 3 weeks so far.
Have a read over the forums for mine and others same issue, there are tips on how to fix but this is becoming very common at the moment, I can not offer any suggestions because everything i did did not work
Good luck

what build of CM10.2 was it (example: cm-10.2-20130809-UNOFFICIAL-m7ul.zip)?
Kernel?
Firmware? (or Hboot#)
Do you have nandroid?
have you tried to go to stock?
S-OFF?
locked/relocked/unlocked?
logcats? (twrp or cwm)
ATT, TMO, Sprint, GPE, etc?
Any other info?

Nothing is showing up in Twrp or CWM its like i have nothing installed on my device. I have a constant bootloop with the cm10.2 boot animation.
I believe it all started going crazy when i tried to go back to stock and wipe the data (i did a factory reset from hboot as well as cwm)

Okay well that rules out the simple.
Now lets see if i understand the situation correctly. If you try to boot into system all you get is a CM bootloop and custom recovery's show an empty sdcard? You say adb commands dont work but have you tried fastboot commands in fastboot mode yet?
Try:
fastboot devices
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-recovery

Dude - he's done a factory reset from the bootloader which has wiped his virtual sd card. You basically need to format it back into a fat32 partition so the adb side load will work.

So what do I have to do sorry

I've done this before a long time ago now myself and was able to fix it because I could still boot into my rom and windows would offer to format it for me.
There used to be a guide in the One XL forum with a step by step even a youtube how to fix it - just trying to find it now.
Edit: Okay found it - full props to XsMagical for this fix.

It's for a One XL but the principle is the same as they both use Virtual SD Cards.
Make sure you're in the bootloader go into fastboot
Download the stock recovery from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v7byetxqc2ogzqq/recovery144.img
Make sure the downloaded image is in the same folder as your fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery144.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running
Go into fastboot
fastboot flash recovery <custom recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can go into recovery and try sideloading a rom and then flashing it.

Try the latest TWRP 2.7.0.9.

OK, so you flashed the latest TWRP via fastboot. That didn't help.
Instead of using the all in one, try this:

if you haven't already.
Maybe the All-in-one isn't working because it can't recognize your device?
Not to be a pessimist, but I'm not sure if this will work either.

Updates after unlocked bootloader

Sorry for the nooby question but I am new to Huawei. Will I keep receiving updates after unlocking my boot loader ? What if I'll route my phone, will updates keep coming ?
Thanks for the help.

yes u can always receive & download updates.
u just cant flash the firmware if u r on custom recovery (twrp,etc). root will be removed. updates will overwrite system partition to stock.
Sent from my Huawei P9 Plus using XDA Labs

download update then you can just flash stock recovery (no need to remove later versions of SU as they are integrated into system) then after update, flash TWRP and SU (to get root back), takes 5 minutes.

I always flash TWRP to the erecovery (recovery2) partition, so no need to flash the stock Recovery before the update
This way you can have stock recovery & TWRP at the same time.

When your phone boots just press volume up at the screen which says that your device is unlocked and can't be trusted. You also can use the apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67463880&postcount=6
By the way, do you plan to make a Rom for the P9 Plus? I know you from my old Xperia days and always loved your Roms

Just boot into fastboot mode and flash the TWRP.img with this command: “fastboot flash recovery2 twrp.img“ and replace twrp with the name of your twrp image.

If you want to boot into stock recovery, press and hold volume up right after you started/restarted your phone (you have to press the button before you see the Huawei logo).
For twrp just press and hold volume up when you see the screen which says your device is unlocked.
Or you can use the app from post #6.

phone not passing twrp splashscreen

I was running Freedom OS CE 2.5 and I dirty flashed official OOS 4.1.0 and got into a bootloop.
I restarted the phone into twrp and it told me that it was read only so I wasn't seeing any zip files. I tried to use repair in the Wipe section by changing file format. I think I chose FAT...I honestly can't remember. But when I swipe to repair and I got stock on updating partition. So I restarted the device into twrp again but this time I'm stock on just the splash screen....won't start.
All I'm getting into is bootloader mode.
Help please

Use fastboot to wipe recovery and flash TWRP again. Alternatively, directly sideload your ROM.

You should reformat those partitions that you've changed. Ext4 or f2fs for /data and ext4 for all other partitions. This can be done through either fastboot or TWRP.

I've also been using 3.1.0-1 for a while and haven't noticed any issues.
Avoid 3.1.0.0 though, as there has been many reports of issues with it.

MY PHONE IS RUNNING AGAIN! thanks for your help man.
Btw! Seeing that the positions were somewhat corrupted, I actually had to use stock recovery to sideload the stock ROM then flash TWRP and finally on freedom is 2.6.1
Thanks again, mate. :highfive:

I was running Freedom OS CE 2.5 and I dirty flashed official OOS 4.1.0 and got into a bootloop.
I restarted the phone into twrp and it told me that it was read only so I wasn't seeing any zip files. I tried to use repair in the Wipe section by changing file format. I think I chose FAT...I honestly can't remember. But when I swipe to repair and I got stock on updating partition. So I restarted the device into twrp again but this time I'm stock on just the splash screen....won't start.
All I'm getting into is bootloader mode.
Help please

I faced a similar issue with twrp , just try to flash twrp again using fastboot mode , in case it does not work again then try to flash it a few more times , it would surely work , I have already tried it , but before that try to factory reset ur phone using twrp and reboot to twrp and only use the first method if the problem exists after that
