Does NRT give you an error when it tries to reboot into bootloader? Another reason to stay away from toolkits, but that is another debate for another time. Have you tried manually running the ADB commands to boot into fastboot? Do you have access to a computer with Android SDK installed?

Not sure what you want to do in bootloader. Recovery makes more sense to me. Flash a non-force encrypt kernel, format userdata and you're away.
From a command prompt / termina (whilst booting and connected with USB cable)...
Code:
adb reboot recovery
or
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

Yes, tried manually commands before use toolkit, no luck "device not found", drivers are ok, device visible in Device Manager as MTP, before this "unsuccessful" flash works like a charm. And then is no way out, when device is on it show encryption message and still no luck with ADB. Maybe some script that override ADB and took me into recovery/bootloader??

Nope.. If adb doesn't work and volume buttons are broken, you're stuck. Get the buttons repaired.

Adb only works if the device is booted up or in sideload mode in recovery, fastboot works in fastboot/bootloader mode. Is/was the device recognised as a adb device when you typed `adb devices`in cmd?

Adb should work from part way through the boot process and any mode. in custom recovery.

No, it's not appear in "adb devices" on any process of boot, but Windows recognise in Device Manages as "MTP USB Device" even when phone off and connected via USB

Op3t fastboot cannot install twrp

I tried to install twrp on my OP3T but everytime i write "fastboot flash recovery trwp.img" it says "error: cannot load 'twrp.img'"
When I type "adb devices" my phone doesn't show up
I unlocked the bootloader
I activated USB debugging
I checked the OEM thing
I have put the twrp.img in the same Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder
What could it be?

Install correct driveres or use another usb port. Device have to be adressed via "fastboot devices" or "adb devices".

It's probably a typing error ..Rename the twrp in whatever you want and then type " fastboot flash recovery " whatever you want".img

Rename file
Did you rename the file? You need to rename it before flashing.

IT WORKED
Everytime I was putting the phone into bootloader mode, the phone was already plugged in. Then I tried to put the phone to bootloader mode and THEN plugging it in my pc... and it worked ^^
Strange, right?

I also experienced this thing this morning.
A simple unplug, re-plug solved for me

Whenever i flash twrp through fastboot it just gets stuck on the twrp logo and doesn't go beyond it.
I've tried with 3.0.3.1, 3.0.3.0, 3.0.2.0 but still the same
can anyone help me with this?

The last parameter has to be the EXACT filename, that you are flashing, which is the TWRP image. It has to be in the same folder as your command prompt is or you need to include the path to the twrp file.

Try the last TWRP release, should work!

Would like to express that I am also having the exact same issue. Any version of TWRP simply fails to load and stays on the TWRP logo.
I am on OxygenOS 3.5.3.
Anybody know a solution? I am currently running with no recovery now and I am quite worried.

After installing the twrp and then you type ... Fastboot boot twrp.img. Probably you are stuck on twrp splash screen...
Try to boot manually.to twrp by pressing power button and volume down button...Then you should be able to boot on twrp....

Did you try to fastboot TWRP after flashing it?
What I mean is, after you enter the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", proceed with "fastboot boot twrp.img" and it will boot. Doing this you prevent Oxygen OS from overwriting TWRP. You should be able to boot normally after doing that.
Don't be worried and try to boot into recovery as described, that should work, if it doesn't I wonder if you flashed the right version of TWRP.
Try and let us know.

I'm having some difficulty getting past this step.
I've unlocked bootloader, enabled oem unlock and enabled usb debugging. I've added the PATH where my twrp.img file is located.
Whenever I input fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, it says error: cannot load twrp.img: no such file or directory.
I see the file in the correct location so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here.
Any ideas?

Phone can't boot stuck at "Your device is booting now" Please Help

Hello, I wanted to install TWRP and ROOT my phone. I flashed TWRP using adb terminal. But when I tried to boot into TWRP it was stuck on "Your device is booting now..". Then if I held the power button for few secs it rebooted normally. So I tried to google it and I found adb command that reboots to recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
. When I executed the command it rebooted to the "Your device is booting now.." screen and it stays like this forever. No button combination works to reboot the phone if i hold power button it reboots shows honor logo and then shows the "Your device is booting now.." screen. I waited for the battery to drain and then i put the phone on charger and when I tried to boot it, it was the same. Now when I try to reboot the phone it shows ultra low baterry symbol and then boots to "Your device..." screen.

Which twrp you flashed? Check the correct twrp in my signature for honor 5C repository.

Hi hassanjavaid8181
I think I have the same issue here, phone is stuck on "your device..." screen forever and it's impossible to do anything else (reboot ends up on the same screen).
How is it possible to flash twrp or stock recovery if we are stuck on this screen ? Fastboot doesn't see the phone...

Did you try all method to going in fastboot.by adb fastboot command or by pressing vol- and power button?

Hi guys, thanks for your replies.
I somehow managed to boot to fastboot after waiting for the battery to go out completely. From there I used the following commands in ADB from the extract of a stock update.img :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
And it worked ! The first boot was veeery long and now it's normal again.
Now my last concern is that I still have bootloader unlocked. As I wish to come back to factory state and avoid the warning message on boot, do you guys think it's safe to re-lock bootloader ?
I'm kind of scared to try anything else and screw the whole thing now
Thanks again for your support

Can you please explain to me how did you managed to boot into fastboot? I tried waiting for the battery to drain completely. Now I can't fully charge my phone. When i connect it with charger. It starts normally charging like it would with 0% battery then after a few moments the honor logo shows up and then the screen "Your device.." shows. When I try vol- and powerbutton it vibrates and shows the red lightbolt then after few moments it boots the same way into the your device screen. When I connect it to the pc it doesn't react. I don't even hear the classic windows beep sound.

You need to press power + volume down key to boot into fastboot. Keep trying 4-5 times sometimes it takes due to wrong press

So I managed to get into the fastboot. Where can I get boot.img, recovery.img and system.img? I have downloaded some update.zip files from this russian site (first 5) http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=NEM-L21&firmware_page=0. But I don't have boot, recovery and system images in these zips.
I also tried reboot in fastboot but its still the same:

Meaning the fastboot is accessible.
Now you have firmware zip, extract it amd you will get few files. Use dload method as given in my signature and you are good to go.
Else use Huawei extractor and browse to update.app you just got in above downloaded zip. You will get boot, recovery, system img you need.

I downloaded some firmware versions and extracted them. I don't know which is for my device. So I tried one of them. I flashed boot.img and recovery.img but I din't flashed the system.img, becouse it was too big. When I tried to reboot the phone it was the same. The fastboot was no longer accessible. I put the phone into servis but they didn't fixed it. it's the same but I can enter erecovery

I assume that twrp is not installed yet on your device and you've a unlocked bootloader. If that's the case go fastboot mode by turning your phone off and then pressing the power+volume down together. Then from your computer flash the latest twrp image ("fastboot flash recovery filename.img"). Then boot to recovery by pressing volume up+ power button and from the recovery flash lineage os. And don't forget to flash the required firmware before flashing lineage os.

I got the same problem. I found out the recovery file he linked to was that of a single SIM Nokia 1 (TA-1060) mine is a Dual Sim Nokia 1 (TA-1047)
I downloaded the TA-1047 original firmware (I googled it)
I used it to reflash boot and recovery. Then redid everything using this time the right original recovery.bin from the TA-1047 firmware and it worked

Android Downgrade
I'm planning to buy this phone but I don't like the software. Can I install Android Kit Kat on it?

Hi! I have soft-bricked Nokia 1 ta-1047(recovery bootloop). How can i unlock bootloader without checkin OEM unlock in dev settings? Thks!

Hi! I had some trouble understanding the instructions. Step 1 worked without a hitch but I ran into some problems in step 2. I'd be really grateful for some help.
Do I copy the text in the link, paste it into a .txt file and then save it to "ftsab.mt6735" in the Minimal And Adb Fastboot folder on my pc?
Do I press cancel when twrp asks me for a password? Or do I need a password? I pressed cancel.
When I go into "mount" in twrp and click on "vendor" do I then go the command window on my pc (from the adb fastboot folder) and type "adb push fstab.mt6735 /vendor/etc/fstab.mt6735"? This is what I did and it might have come with an error I'm not sure.
What is the backup of boot for? I guess it's just a safety measure. For some reason I couldn't do that because it said something about encyption (I think, unless I'm getting mixed up with before) so I had to skip that step and go onto flashing the recovery. The instructions now say "flash stock recovery as boot (you can get stock recovery from here)". Is the stock recovery the "recovery.bin" file and do I put that in the adb and fastboot folder? I did that and typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.bin" in the command window. Was that right or not?
The instuctions say "restart the system" Is that from the twrp menu? I restarted the phone via twrp but it didn't restart into stock recovery it restarted into the normal operating system. I knew then that I'd done something wrong. I then turned off the phone and tried accessing the stock recovery by pressing the volume up and power on and it started in twrp! Am I getting confused? Please can someone help me! Thank you!

Hi! I had some trouble understanding the instructions. Step 1 worked without a hitch but I ran into some problems in step 2. I'd be really grateful for some help.
Do I copy the text in the link, paste it into a .txt file and then save it to "ftsab.mt6735" in the Minimal And Adb Fastboot folder on my pc?
Do I press cancel when twrp asks me for a password? Or do I need a password? I pressed cancel.
When I go into "mount" in twrp and click on "vendor" do I then go the command window on my pc (from the adb fastboot folder) and type "adb push fstab.mt6735 /vendor/etc/fstab.mt6735"? This is what I did and it might have come with an error I'm not sure.
What is the backup of boot for? I guess it's just a safety measure. For some reason I couldn't do that because it said something about encyption (I think, unless I'm getting mixed up with before) so I had to skip that step and go onto flashing the recovery. The instructions now say "flash stock recovery as boot (you can get stock recovery from here)". Is the stock recovery the "recovery.bin" file and do I put that in the adb and fastboot folder? I did that and typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.bin" in the command window. Was that right or not?
The instuctions say "restart the system" Is that from the twrp menu? I restarted the phone via twrp but it didn't restart into stock recovery it restarted into the normal operating system. I knew then that I'd done something wrong. I then turned off the phone and tried accessing the stock recovery by pressing the volume up and power on and it started in twrp! Am I getting confused? Please can someone help me! Thank you!

If you're phone booted fine into system and you can access twrp then just flash magisk as you've done ok and the phone and twrp are working

How to "flash stock recovery as boot" ?
How to "flash stock recovery as boot" ? I went to fastboot mode and flashed recovery.bin then rebooted to recovery and it showed "no commands". No options were there.

Thanks. But I'm still not sure. I confess I'm a novice. I actually ended up bricking my phone because I went on to do something wrong. I'll get another phone this week to try and root again, hopefully successfully this time. Isn't the step to make a backup of the boot really important because we have to flash that boot near the end? I thought it was necessary. I also wonder whether I should have typed "fastboot boot recovery.img" instead of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" because the instructions say "flash stock recovery as boot"? Edit: Perhaps I'm wrong again

Did you manage to get a backup of the boot?

I can have no access in the udev/ etc.... Can you please explain the following steps how to do it? is it a linux command that needs to be done on a linux running computer or does it works on Windows too?
i was indeed happy that it completed the backup to my external SD Card made with Magisk a patched boot image, but doesn't seem to be rooted after all, what next? it says every time Magisk is not installed do i have to flash it in minimal ADB
Sincerely

Rooting this for now is a gamble there is only 1 stock ROM to flash and it's for the UK single SIM varient of the Nokia 1 only thing you can have is root and twrp and maybe flash a gsi but most of them are still buggy if you can flash stock and stay that way untill further development.

I have the mt6735 but shouldn't be long for a custom ROM as root and twrp have been achieved.

Hi, try holding the power button for a few seconds and then releasing it and pressing volume up.
For the record, I managed to root my ta 1060 phone. Thanks everyone. I think I had a problem initially because twrp asked for a password due to phone encryption and I ignored it. I managed to bypass that password screen by not rebooting after flashing twrp, instead going straight into twrp and following the instructions.
I've now got a problem getting usb otg to work. I've added the files android.hardware.usb.host.xml, handheld_core_hardware.xml and tablet_core_hardware.xmls. It's showing as enabled in all the app checkers but Usb Otg Helper says E: Mount directory could not be created, E: This app will not work, OTG mass storage not supported?, NTFS write support failed(no fuse). That's not a topic for here though. If anyone can help, can they pm me please

No, when I found it asked for a password I realised I shouldn't have rebooted the system and so I wiped the data and flashed twrp again and no more password.

My TA-1066 is basically dead. Unlocked, doesn't boot into recovery, flashing the ROM fixed it last time this happened. Now it doesnt. In a bootloop with the NOKIA logo.
Help would be really appreciated.
